4:04 am
>> i don't understand what kind of environment you're working in when that would be acceptable and then you can come to work the next day and still have a job. >> reporter: senator mccain's daughter meghan spoke out against the white house after a staffer dismissed him over his opposition to the president's cia nominee. according to sources white house communications aide kelly sadler joked at a staff meeting that mccain's rejection of mr. trump's pick doesn't matter. he's dying anyway. mccain, who is undergoing treatment for terminal brain cancer, said he would oppose gina haspel's nom nation because of her involvement in the cia's enhanced interrogation program saying, quote, her refusal to acknowledge torture's immore altd is disqualifying. >> i'm not going to comment on an internal staff meeting.

4:07 am
>> our plan takes steps to deracing the gravy train for special interests by ending obamacare's twisted incentives that actually encourage higher drug prices. >> pharmaceutical stocks surged on wall street on friday following mr. trump's announcement. at&t says it made, quote, a big mistake hiring president trump's personal lawyer michael cohen. the wireless carrier ousted its top lobbyist and admits making a mistake in hiring cohen. the company paid cohen $600,000 last year. paula reid reports. >> reporter: in a stunning message to employees, at&t's ceo randall stephenson said it was a big mistake to hire president trump's personal attorney michael cohen. our company has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons these last few days
4:08 am
andet our reputation has been damaged, he said. novartis, a pharmaceutical company has also said hiring cohen was a mistake. both companies say cohen approached them about offering access and insight into the trump administration. at&t paid cohen $600,000 to advise on its propose merger with time warner and other regulatory matters. novartis paid him $1.2 million. the payments were made to the same accounts that were used to direct $130,000 to adult film star daniels not to speak about her alleged affair with the pretty. there's nothing normal about itz. nick allard said it is virtually unheard of for a lawyer to peddle information on his client. >> it's like john gotti's lawyer selling information to the other four families. it just not only isn't done but is a fundamental conflict and a very dangerous one.

4:10 am
>> do you think that will change what we get out of the russia probe? we're one year from when this already started. >> it already has. we only found out about this now. the question is how long has he followed the money trail? he's reportedly already questioned vekselberg about this payment. we don't know what he's learned. i think that's going to determine where it goes. >> let's turn to north korea. president said he would meet with kim jong-un on june 12th, in singapore. how big are the stakes here? >> enormous. absolutely. think about the range. this could be the biggest achievement of donald trump's presidency if he brings peace to it and it could bring the biggest disaster if it goes a y awry. it has adjusted it would liken north korea before the united states makes any concessions. >> how do you see the president preparing for this? what extort of strategy do you
4:11 am
think will be implemented? what sort of talks will be going on? can you give us a perspective of what we'll see from these nuclear weapons talks? >> the white house has not revealed much about this. president tump has repeatedly said he doesn't like to show his cards. his aides are following the lead on that. >> what do you think is going to tip the balance on either the enormous success or tip for huge failure. >> the big question why kim jong-un is doing this. is he doing this out of a position of weakness, the threats of president trump, unpredict takata? has that spooked him? or does he feel like he's positioning from strength because he feels north korea has built a weapon that can hit the united states? >> on tuesday the midterms kicked off in full force. you wrote in your piece this is the first big wave of primaries. what can you tell us. >> we know the republicans love president trump. they're picking candidates in primaries who's trumpier than

now. we know the democrats are angry, opposed to the president, at least pick candidates posed to the president. they're less organized and less well funded to the tea party of 2010 to whom they're often compared but they're also avoiding the tea partiy's suicidal tendencies. >> did you see any sharp surprises in this recent wave of votes? >> not particularly. one big question everybody has is whether don blankenship who seemed to be rising in the polls at the end was going to win, he did not end up whipping. that is a bullet dodged for the republicans. >> we know they have withdrawn from the iran deal do. you think the other countries can keep the deal alive? >> they're certainly trying. we know europe doesn't want to renegotiate. they're committed to it. we know china doesn't want to. they're committed to it.
4:13 am
the question is that going to be enough? is the u.s. sanctions on them going to change? >> all right. thank you so much for joining us this morning. this morning tensions are high in the middle east. this is all ahead of monday's controversial relocation of the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. the shift is a reminder that israelis and palestinians both claim jerusalem as their respective capitals. seth doan is in the west bank this morning. good morning. it's marking that the u.s. sees jeer us lem as the capital of israel. across jerusalem there are signs up thanking america and president trump and at the sight of that new u.s. embassy final preparations are under way for a

4:15 am
public anger. >> death to america. >> reporter: after friday prayers, the hard liners hit the streets. this may be annoying the demonstration but it's tiring, designed by a regime that was meant to deflect people's anger toward america and not on the very serious problem brewing here. >> none of these regime loyalists would dare say it, especially to an american reporter, but iranians are furious with their own government's failure to deliver basics like electricity and water and decent wages. in january grags rossroots prot spread like windfire, and for the first time angry crowds burned pictures of the previous ntouchable supreme leader. president trump pulling out of the nuclear deal and iran's missile exchanges with israel are just ramping up the pressure in a country that's already

agus from los angeles. thanks for getting up this morning. >> i'm up, anthony. >> what are some of the most prominent changes? >> in 2012 they say nobody should be tested for psa if it didn't merit it. today they're showing clear survival for the people who were tested. should they change the recommendations so people age 55 through 69 talk to their doctors? it's a discussion with your doctor whether you should be test order not. the problem is there's some false positives so not everybody should be tested, but the discussion should happen, 55 to age 69. >> david, dr. david agus, they looked at the use of mris for that screening. what did it find? >> it's so cool, right? wednesday they said we have a problem with biopsies, too many false positives, but we have to do it because it saves lives.
4:38 am
the next day the new engla"new journal of medicine" has more. if you know where to stick the needle, you get fewer false positives and fewer need biopsies. it's pretty exciting. >> david, these false positives are really scary. i had one. there's nothing more terrifying. is it really possible to have a test that's potentially foolproof for this? >> not even close. what we know is since we started screening, the death rate mass dropped. people ask have you been tested, yes, i have been tested. i feel for what you went through. a false positive is a scary thing, but also getting an aggressive pros tatd cancer that's left the prostate is also very scary. also, our next topic, an injury that affects older americans. it's falling. it's bringing more attention to the issue. >> in fact, one in four

4:40 am
multiple questions, being on a blood thinner, meaning if you have atrial fibrillation or a blood thinner, you hit your head, you can bleed. people who urinate a lot at night, they're more at risk. it's dark, you're disoriented, you can trip. as a doctor, i say, do you have any trouble walking and i have to assess their stability and also look at the medicines they're on and try to counsel them so i can try to prevent a fall. and, finally, dr. agus, we get an assist from the technology area, simple activities like eating and getting dressed are something most people don't think about. but for those who have dementia, it can be a real struggle. >> researchers recently unveiled a self-dressing system, assisted by smart technology for tracking, guidance, and recognition, it's designed to allow people with dementia to get dressed on their own. each item of clothing has

4:58 am
successful or not. >> it can take all kinds of forms. sometimes it's the mayor, sometimes the town historian, the musician in town or a group of teachers. in san bernardino, it was the san bernardino generation now, the mill len wrals who started out as artists, becoming the pied pipers in town, picking up trash, painting more reals, and going into the schools to educate kids about voting. >> that's important. let's talk about the opioid epidemic which is devastating in this country. what did you find out from these communities? can they do it on their own? >> number one, this is genuinely the worst social problem the u.s. is seeing right now. i think this is a classic illustration where local efforts can make a difference, but this is one of many fields where if we had a more functional national government, that would be good, too, because national programs make a big difference. but we found a number of city by city-attempts to deal with it, but it's a genuine challenge.

5:02 am
the fence. israeli soldiers on the other side fired tear gas. hundreds more have been injured. the fence cuts off the palestinians who live here on the gaza strip from the outside world because of a more than ten-year-long blockade that has made this poverty-stricken place even more desperate. the palestinians are demanding the right to return to land their families fled in 1948 when the state of israel was founded. there are about 2 million people living here on the gaza strip, an area smaller than the city of denver and the majority of refugees and their descendants. the protests are expected to grow bigger next week. the 70th anniversary of the founding of the state of israel when the u.s. will move its embassy to jerusalem. that's been condemned by palestinians who hope that east jerusalem will one day be their capital if they ever get their own state. jericka and anthony?

5:04 am
would share jerusalem. trump is says it belodges to israel. >> this is a symbolic moment. for practical services the embassy is going to be in tel aviv but they're saying officially it's in jerusalem. it's symbolic but stan chal. >> it is substantial. it really undercuts the idea. it's located in south jerusalem. some of it sort of lapses into what was considered palestinian territory before 1967. but it also was like sort of staffed by palestinians, served palestinian/east jerusalem, as well as israeli jews from west jerusalem, and it was kind of an empowerment zone for the palestinians. you see them serving or receiving supplications and applications of ideological
5:05 am
things. >> they called the relocation slap in the face even saying that washington could no longer be regarded as an honest broker. where does it stand? i mean it just seems like we continue to talk about these two groups fighting and now it's a slap in the face, according to the palestine president. >> the idea was always that the u.s. could be the broker, could take the interest of the palestinians and balance them because -- against the interests of israel. the idea being that both sides could trust. and this is what abbas is saying. he was put in place somewhat by the americans. not a militant man, always a peacemaker. he was never able to deliver because israel wouldn't negotiate in good faith, according to the palestinians, but the point is it hasn't happened. >> so where does this leave peace efforts then? >> where they've been, but even worse. and they haven't been in a good place for a while. >> how is this being received by
5:06 am
other arab countries? >> in a much more muted way than people would have expected if it was when they hoped for peace and israel wasn't entrenched and didn't have the alignments that it has with saudis and the other gulf state, you would have seen more of an outcry from the arab ward. >> karlovic, thacarl vick, than. >> r. kelly took to the stage last night. known for his sexually explicit lyrics has been accused by several women of sexual misconduct in recent years. kelly denies abusing anyone. spotify, the music streaming service, dropped kelly's music this week. the art world witnessed history this week when the peggy and david rockefeller collection scored a record sum at auction. christie's sold 1,500 items
