he was 86 years old. still to come on the newshour: the political and legal ramifications ofhe president's aims that an f.b.i. spy infiltrated his campaign. a supreme court ruling making it emre difficult to sue your oyer. the secretary of state's threat to impose the "strongest ons in history" on iran, and much more. >> nawaz: as we reported earlier, the justice department has asked its internal watchdog eview president trump's charge that the f.b.i. spied on mr. trump's 2016 election campaign. the move came nday night, hours after the presonent announcewitter that he would "demand" the department look into the matter. sunday, in a series of six tweets in the course of hour, the president targeted special counsel robert mueller's probe, calling it "the world's most

expensive wih hunt." sunday's developments came in the wake of last week's "washington post" report that a longtime u.s. intelligence source had contacts with several of mr. trump's advisors during dee 2016 campaign. in barrett covers the justice department for the post and joins me now. devlin, thank you so much for your time. let me ask you now, as the basid of that demthe president basically said there was a spy implanted in his campaign. telle about that based on your reporting, is that what you believe happened? >> i d't think that's a fair characterization at all of the person we are reporwhting on, feis the f.b.i. source, an american por who had several meetings that, to be clear, the source himse initiated, but they were meetings, what intelligence officials might refer to as brushups where you arran a meeting with someone. but i don't think it's accurate to characterize that as spy or

embedding them with the azmpaign. >> nthe chain of events, the president makes a demand on asitter, the deputy attorney general respondng the inspector general basically the watchdog to take this on. what do you make of that chainn of es there? >> well, there are certainly people who are worried u're basically setting a pattern of the president demanding thingsfr the justice department and the justice department giving him something, but i think it's still wortdh keeping in m that the central thing that is sort offa red line for law enforcement officials which is the turning over of classified documents to congress, that line hasn't been crossed yet. we may still reach that point, but i think, in a i way, th a lesser confrontation, a lesser conflict, this question of an urg. investigation than the of classified documents on the hill. theawaz: what happened meeting today? >> the initial word is they had

h meeting and basically agreed to have aner meeting. so it may be that, as has happened before, the ustice department essentially plays for time, says they want to keep talking about it, but don't actually turn over paperwork to lawmakers on the hill who have been demanding the paperwork. the justice department's argument is that would be too dangerous for the source and for their operations. it'sot clear today's meeting actually resolve very much but, obviwsly, the president is more directly involved and that could raise the stakes. >> nawaz: talk to me about raising the stakes quickly before we let you go. we know the president's lashed out at the justice department isfore. ifory's a dyed, he could do it again. could we be back with tensions rising again sometime soon? i think what you've seen in the last three weeks has been a steady escalation of this issue. but at the same time, you know, the president could have issued an order saying tu over those documents right now. he could have done that three weeks ago an he still hasn't. so i don't think we should assume that this will keepes

lating but i also think we have watched it escalate, so we have to keep cse tabs on it. >> nawaz: devlin barrette of "the washington post." anks for your time. >> thank you. >> nawaz: we now break down some of the broader legal questions here. a short time ago, i spoke with three people with extensive experience at the justice department. michael mukasey serv attorney general during the george w. bush administration. he also serv as the chief judge of the united states district court for the southern district of new york. jack goldsmith served as an assistant attorney general during the bh administration. he is also a professor at harvard law school and co-founder of lawfareblog.com. and frank montoya a retired f.b.i. agent who oversaw national security investigations. he joins us via skype. gentlemen, thanks for making the time. michael mukasey, i want to ask you first, the president certainly has constitutional authority to direct the work of the justice depaiment. the crsm here, though, is that this specific directive wasn't about the law, it s

about politics. did the president cross a line here? >> i don't know that he crossed a line. i think he was appropriately responded to by rod rosenstein td that is it was going to be referrthe inspector general who in the ordinary course would take a look at a tter like thi and see whether it had been done appropriately or inappropriately, and tt would be the end of it. >> nawaz: rosenstein responded, as you purchased, to the deputy a.g. by sayg this would be a matter the inspector general takes up. but in response to t president's first action to even demand such an investigation, do you feel that was completely within line? >> look, completely -- it's not something that's happened in my experience. wi the other hand, there's a lot that's happene respect to this president that hasn't n ppened in my experience and he's not a perth a fine sense of detail. so do i think it' unusual that he would want this looked into? no. bedon't know that he would publicly demand i looked

into but, in any event, it's not inappropate to looknto it. >> nawaz: frank montoya, you spoke with one of my colleagues earlier and called it an all-out dent.lt from the presi why? >> in the first instance, it's very fascinating that he's doing the very same thing thate's accused the obama administration of and that is driving or demanding an investigation. beyond that, there is a well-regard separation between the white house and the indetndence of the departm of justice and in particular the f.b.i. and the conduct of its investations, and whether it an appropriate request or not, it certainly shouldn't be donend over twittert shouldn't be done in a public way as it is being dobecause all that does is undermine the process, processes the are not only t honored but are legitimate, they arelegal and they have stood the test of time. >> jack goldsmith, let me ask s isn't the first time the president has come up against his own law enforcement

agencies, but what ye you noticed about the relationship e tween those two? >> yought. the tweet over the weekend comes against the backdrop of almost a year of unprecedented bullying and pressure and name calling by the president about the rusa investigation and threatening and questioning the integrity of peoplente app to the f.b.i. director or the deputy attorney general. all of that is unprecedented in the post-war greater ray. we've never had anything like this level of -- or anything close to this level of presidential interference and threats with an onging investigation. i can't emphasize how tough it is for them to be conducting this inves usually the president in these high-stakes events has the back of his justice department officials and here the president not only doesn't he their back, he's attacking them and trying to undermine the degree inti of what they're doing. >> nawazet:e ask you about

the position the deputy attorney general is in, did he have a choice in responding to the spresident's request in tway. >> i guess he could have, if he resigned, but he works for the president who has the authority to fire him and make suggestions and ordersbout the investigation, so he finds himself with very conflicting responsibilities. i think he has mainly tried to protgrt the intey and independence of the russia investigation. i think the step he took in desponse to what president trump nded by sending the issue to the inspector general who basically will find out facts and what happened, he has a related investigation going on, i think that was nimble compromise on his part. >> nawaz: that seems like a remarkable position, either respond and take action on the president's request o oresig were those his only two options

here? >> if there's a third, i can't think of it. i think he made the appropriate response. i should say that, as what mr. montoya said about hison having this in public, given the fact that he got upt and did it at all, frankly i prefer he did it in plic rather than private so that we don't know about it. now we know what he said, why he said it and what the response was andetall out in the open. >> nawaz: as a former f.b.i. agent, the revelation of the f.b.i. source in reports seems to have spurred some of the president's tweets and this last directive for sure. testify confidential informants like t one reported on, give me a sense of how often they're used, whether the action detailed in that report was unusual because the president characterized it as by planted campaig is that your read on what happened? >> absolutely not. the use overinfmants is a common practice in all kinds of investigationswhether they're eyinal in nature or whether

e national security and counterintelligence in nature. the fact of the matter is the allegations were mad. they weren't fabricated by anyone in the f.b.i. or the department of justice. the f.b.i. w using tools at its dispose also. thols it uses al time in these kinds of investigations to ferrate out the truth. >> nawaz: there is another issue here that the president and the justice department have cume to loggerheads, they're the nts that the justice department has that can identify who the informant was. house republicans wanted to see them, they made the request, the president supported the request. what's the protocol? would bit currentiven current conditions for the justice department to be turning over those documents to house republicans? >> the justice department would never under any circumstances turn over information about an informant in an ongoing criminal investigation tohe congress. that's standard executive branch

practice and view of presidential prerogatives. deputy attorney general rosenstein has been amazingly accommodating, maybe too accommodating on othest reque but on this one he had to draw the line. the remarkable thing is usually, when the justice department is trying to protect the prerogatives of theec ive branch, it has the support of the president. here the president is encouraging and on the verge of ordering the justice department to turn those documents over and he actually does ha the authority to do that. i think that would cause a real crisis in the justice department if he ordered the department to burn a source to congress. it's completely unprecedented, in my experience. >> nawaz: michael mukasey, what do you make of is there a crisis brewing if the president follows threw on support of request for his order to turn the documents over. >> i think the answerrous heard illustrate the distin tion betwing correct and being right. the answerrous just heard were

coect, but we're not just dealing with an i informaa normal criminal case, and we're not dealing with a informa who has remained anonymous. rme people who disclosed inion ability him who were some of the people who support the investigation disclosed enough about him so that his identity has become public and, in fact, a number of newsza orgaons printed it. so we're not talking about some deep, dark secret. we're tanging about somet that, in fact, has already been disclosed and disclosed in large part because of statements that were made by people who support the existence of this investigion about the informant. >> let me ask you michael mukasey because you mentioned this is an unusual president who has surprised even you in thest the institutions and norms in america, they can certainly be bent, but i'm curious, baseon what did you've seen, is there a point at which you're worried those same norms could break? >> of coase one ays worries about if there's a point at

which norms could break, but despite some of the antics going on on all sides and despite all sorts of cries about constitutional crisis, i think that the institutions of government by and large are holding up fairly well. >> nawaz: frank montoya, whdo ou say to that? >> look at the special counsel and how his focus is on the investigation its self-. the only public utterances from him are the ones in the filings in varius courtrooms. but in terms of the, you know, the investigative process, the prosecutor process, it's been pretty stellar, the inte integrf the investigation has been held toa very high standard and will continue to be so through the end of the inve ntigation. az: jack goldsmith, michael mukasey and frank montoya, thank you for your time. >> thank you.

>> nawaz: there was major legal news out of washington today. the supreme court weighed in ce more on the balance o power between workers and employers. william brangham has more. >> brangham: this is the latest major ruling affecting corporate america to come out ofourt under chief justice john roberts. today, theocus was on workers' ability to take collective legal yeaction against their emp. many non-union workers are blocked from doing that because of their employment contracts. instea they must take their claims to what's known as arbitration, a process labor groups say unfairly benefits companies. in a 5-to-4 ruling today, the court rud the practice is allowable under federal law. here, as always, to dissect what the stices wrote is marcia coyle of "the national law journal." >> thank you. >> brangham: so tell us what the cases were that were involved and what the justices ruled.

>> there wera group of workers for three different companies who wanted to bring claims against their employers, genrally wage and hour claims, and some of them w bted tod together as a group because of the amount of money involved individually was not a lot. >> brangham: they were saying we weren't riid apprely by the company? s> that's correct, maybe were miss cified and some felt they deserved overtime. so when they brought those claims and tried to band together they were told by their employers yo you cannot do this. under the workplace ash administration agreemente prohibit collective or class actions. the workers then turned around and challenged this ban in their arbitration agreement saying it violated the national labor relations act which you know, william, applies not justo union workers but applies to almost all private employees in the united states and protects or guarantees the workers' rights toa ege in collective

action, to unionize or to do itf juor their mutual aid and protection. so that s the issue that came before the supreme court. the employers say, no, the federal arbitration act says that arbitration agreements have ing toenforced acco their terms. the issue before the supreme court was, you know, what gives? does the national labor relations act, which by the way was enacted in 1935, does that evail or does the federal arbitration act enacted in 125 prevail? justice gorsuch led the 5-4 majority in this case, the other sur justices with him were on the conservatie of the court and he ruled the federal arbitration act says you have to enforce the great according to its terms. workers, you cannot band together. you have to bring your claims individually. >> brangham: can you explain g r people who haven't been followong what an

arbitration clause essentially says? >> basically, it's saying that if you have a claim against the employer, you have to go in private arbitration, and that kind of a proceeding, generally the empler finds a arbitrator -- there are associations of arbitrators -- to c it's supposed to be a neutral arbitrator, to hear your claim and make a decision, you are 5 und by that decision. and roughlyllion employees in the united states are under these arbitration agreements that include bans on celect or class actions. >> brangham: and these are a auses many times people have no iey're signing. >> generally not. sometimes they're in very small print. that's assent case with consumer arbitration agreement heck in 2011, the supreme court class action bans in consumer arbitration agreements. this was sort of the last

battleground for employers, workplace arbitration agreemen goreements. >> brangham: judgeuch held the majority opinion for the conservatives and they held sway today. justice ginsburg wrote the dissent. she took a position of reading it from the bench. >> she did. en a justice feels particularly strongly about a dissent and opinion, justice has the opportunity to read a summary from the bench of that dsent just as the justice who has the majority opinion c read a summary of his or her nion.ity o justice ginsburg, it was clear from the arguments in this case earlier in the termt very strongly and, during her summary of it from theabench tody, she called these arbitration agreements arm-twisted, take it or leave it agreements that harkin back to a very early era.

they used to use the term yellow-dog contracts that employers would use to prevent uployees from joinions or prohibit them from joining unions, and she felthat the court, over the years, has taken the scope of the federal arbitration act away from what congress intended, that it was regionally enacted to encourage arbitration between merchants but now, as i just said, it tsen extended to consumer agreemnd, now, workplace agreements, also. so she read the text of those two laws that were at issue and the histo very differently from justice gorsuch.e justrsuch looked at the labor law and said there was nothing in it about arbitration and if congess meant the labor law to supplant the arbitration law, the congress has to make its intent manifestly clear and did not do that. she felt the two laws could exist together, but she felt

that the class action and collective action bans in the law were reall unlawful labor practices. >> brangham: marcia coyle, as always, thank you so much. >> my pleasure. clacks >> nawaz: stay with us, coming up on the newsu.ur: how new rivacy laws aim to protect both europeans' and americans' data. and the political response to e texas school shooting. but first, two weeks ago presidt trump withdrew the united states from the iran nuclear deal, which limited the islamic repuic's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. today, secretary of state mike timpeo unveiled the administ's new iran strategy. here's foreign affairs and defense corresndent nick schifrin. >> schifrin: in his first major speech as secretary of state, mike pompeo painted an's government as the source of

middle east instability. >> the regime reaps a harvest of suffering and death in the middle east at the expense of its own people. >> schifrin: the new strategy targets iran's economy. the trump administration believes re-imposing sanctions will cripple iran's finances, so it can't afford its nuclear ram, or its support for regional proxy groups. >> iran will be forc to make a choice: either fight to keep its economy off life support at home, or keep squandering preciousealth on fights abroad. it will not have the resources to do both. >> schifrin: targeting iran's economy could end up targeting european companies that sell iran products, like aircraft manufacturer airbus and french automaker puegeot. pompeo said the u.s. did not care if u.s. policy hurt european economic interests. >> i know that they may decide to keep their old nuclear deal going with tehran. that is certainly theision to make. they know where we s >> schifrin: the strategy also calls for the u.s. military to counter small iranian boats that

threaten u.s. ships in the persian gulf andteezbollah fi based in lebanon and syria. >> we will track down iranian operatives and their hezbollah oxies operating around the world and we will crush them. >> schifrin: the u.s. also wants to increase internal pressure on the iranian regime. pompeo said the u.s. "stood with" anti-government protestors who, like some in the administration, have cled for the overthrow of the iranian regime. >> we hope, indeed we expect, that t iranian regime will come to its senses and support, not suppress, the aspirations of its own citizens. >> schifrin: and pompeo said if iran gave into 12 fundamental demands, permanently abandoning itsnuclear program, ending missile program, ending support of proxy groups, the u.s. would offer iran a sweeping new lationship with economic support and full diplomatic normalization. >> it is america's hope that our labors toward peace and security will bear fruit for the long- suffering people of iran. >> schifrin: joining me now is

brian hook, senior policy adviser to the secretary of state, and director of policy planning. gyrlier this month he was in pyg and led negotiations with the europeans ahethe president's decision to withdraw from the iran nuclear deal. welcome back to the "newshour". >> good to be he again. >> schifrin: thanks very much. we heard from secreetary pomo the list of 12 demands. i talked to some people who criticized some of the speed limit. they talked about it as magical thinking, ul ultimatums, n diplomacy, dead on arrival. this seems to be a wholesale transformation of policy. are they dead on arrival? >> no, the list of 12 demands secretary pompeo laid ou today have been agreed to at one time or another b our european allies in. categories, the list is around ending iran's nuclear program so they can't enrich, it's denying them the ability to support t

terrorisfund proxy wars, to destabilize other countries, toetain citzens arbitrarily. this whole list a of 1ot of it grew out of our negotiations with our eurodpean allies, these are all very reasonable dends. >> the speech specifically mentions the iranian people multiple times and at one point secretary pompeo said it is up to the iranian people to makean the quickly and if it doesn't happen we will continue the u.s. pressure on iranis. he goal therefore actually either to the iranian people to overthroertheir own govent or for the u.s. somehow to get some kind of regime chage? >> we are looking for a change in the behavior of the iranian regime, and if they can change their conduct, and a number of the key areas that secretary pompeo outlined, there can be a much better future for the a iranian peopd the united states is prepared to enter into an entirely new relationship with iran, one that completely

lifts all of the sanctions, that has full diplomatic ties, that welcomes irano ie global economy, but they can't do that if they still intend to acquire a nuclear weapon, if they want to destabilize and stoket violence and iability across the middle east and violate the human rights of their own people. >> how do you get china, russianings and europeans to create the sa economic pressure on iran that existed in 2013 today when it'slear they're not willing to do that? >> it's very early. we just started thec proess. the plan is to continue working with our allies as we have been over the last few months to create a new security architecture and, as that process unfolds, you wil see s,re countries entering into those discussind we're very hopeful about the diplomacy ahead. we think that, oveme, as we work for a new and better deal, that we will have more countries supporting us. >> secretary pompeo today talke

abying to get a new deal that would be a treaty in the u.s. senate with iran. does u.s. want a treaty with kim jong un that would be confirmed the senate? >> we are were open to a treaty with north korea. the president has talked about a very bright future for the north korean people if the c regi end its nuclear missile program among other things. but we are open to a treaty relationship with north korea under the right conditions and as secretary pompeo has said, we're also open to a treaty relationship with iran, agaiun r the right conditions. we're trying to set forth a positive and hopeful vision for the north korean people and the iranian people. >> schifrin: the national security advisor john bolton brought up libya when talking aboukim jong un. he talked about the libya model referring to 2003 efforts to tra toll get lo denuclearize. of course gadhafi, the head of libya, ended up dead in a ditch few years later.

was it not understandable that kim jong un might hearr the s elbya model and think, oh, this isn't going to end for me? >> i think what we're trying to accomplish there about the complete verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of north korea that's our objective. there are different ways to describe achieving ienuclearization. libya made the don to get rid of its nuclear weapons. you also hadsouth africa get rid of its nuclear weapons. a number of countriedecided the cost-benefit of having a nuclear program just isn't there. we are very focused on creating a framework where it's north korea's interest to denuclearize and we are ready to discuss a range of benefits fort north korea y are willing to denuclearize. >> how do you convince kim jong un that denuclearization doesn't end up with his death, if you're going to bring up libya? >> secretary pompeo has met witg

kim n twice, and i think that's been the center of the discussions have bee people to date. those have been very good meetings, and i think they are doing a good job to create the right kind of positive framework so that president trump and kim jong un can have a very productive meeting in singapore. >> there is some do it within the administration athut the summitt's scheduled for a few weeks from now, and i'm wondering what's chged because you were in pyongyang meeting with kim jong un and secretary pompeo and received assurance about denuclearization. what's changed to create the doubts about this summit today? >> i think we did have very good discussi the purpose of that trip was to set the table for the discussion between president trump and kim jong un. >> is there a chance this summit might not happen?ys >> i'm alwopeful on diplomacy and we're going to keep at it till we get to

june 12. >> brian hook, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> naw: now, how europe is preparing for new rules that will give consumers more power over their psonal data, and whether that could be a template for the u.s. facebook c.e.o. markuckerberg is expected to be grilled by members of the european parliament this week ahe cambridge analytica scandal. his testimony is taking place as new rules in the e.u. are set to take effect friday. although britain is leaving the e.u., it is applying the new law, and is pledging to be ad woader in data protection. some companies, like facebook, apple and twitter, say they ar updating their global policies in anticipation of the new regulations. special correspondent malcolm brabant reports from london. >> reporter: like any other european citizen who's got an online presence, i've been inundated with messages in the pastew weeks from internet

companies from social media giants, even from the company that made my fitness tracker. and all of them want me to go into my settings, to update my privacy data, to make sure that they are compliant with new european data protection rules that come into effect this week. here's a video, the irish t producexplain the basics. >> so from may 25th, the new e.u. general data protection regulation puts more responsibility on organizations ho use our data and gives us greater control ov it's ed. >> reporter: i've got an email he from facebook security saying that i need to accept it easier for you to control your data, privacy and security settings in one place and we want to explain more about how we create a personalized experience for you. >> they must tell us clearly and in straightforward terms how they will use and protect our data. only personal data that is needed to provide us with a service should be collec it should not be used or shared

for other related purposes. >> reporter: the new regulations have been in the making for several years, long before the cambridge analytica scandal was exposed.ot among the tions: companies must provide tools on their platforms to let consumers opt-out. they must also clearly disclose data breaches to end users within 72 hours of learning about it. and allow users the ability to keep a copy of their own private data. companies can no longer sell a custer's details without the customer's permission or bury this information in the small print about privacy, as happens in america. tside the bank of england and across the 27 other countries of the euroan union, citizens are taking back control of their privacy as the new regulations prepare to kick in. >> i suppose its evolution rather than revolution. but havingaid that it is the biggest shake up in european privacy rules in 20 odd years. >> reporter: lawyer ph specializes in privacy issues.

>> under the nve law you may eard there's this idea of the right to be forgotten, which is your right as an individual to write ta business and say i want you to delete the personal information that you hold about me. >> reporter: lee worked in california's silicon valley for four years and is now back in britain, helping american business to navigate e.u. and global data protection compliance. >> in the u.s. tre is no equivalent overarching legislation that applies across absolutely everything. instead what happens in the u.s. is you get very sector specific rules or rules that are designed to address specific risks.or so you getxample financial services privacy regulation or you get health related privacy regulations. but the challenges with that approach are that you can get gaps that fall between the miiole and so there are sectns of individua whose privacy are not protected in the same way as they aren europe. >> reporter: the new rules apply equally to a giant company like to the smallest firm that keeps anyone's data.

we repeatedly askervgoogle to inw a spokesperson, but our requests were ignored. the companies are facing rigorous inspections from britain's data protection authority whose london base is here. the staff of the information commissioner is being beefed up to enfor the new european privacy regulations. dety commissioner steve wo can fine a company 4% of its global income. >> these companies are taking us seriously and under the new law we'll have even stronger powers. the companies are incrsingly understanding as well that data protection is important with trust with their customers so customers might go elsewhere or may even use these platforms less ithey don't take data protection seriously as well. >> reporter: despite brexit, britain is enthusiastically embracing the new european regulations and aspires become a

world leader in data protection. damian collins, chairs parliament's digital and media committee, and favors international cooperation to ensure european standards go global. >> in the past we've been largely reliant on the tech companies telling us they are complying with the law without the power to peer behind the cuain and see what they ar actually doing. there are good reasons why the facebook algorithm shouldn't be made public. but it doesn't mean that independent authority to make sure they'reomplying with the law. >> reporter: but consumer advocacy groups like ope'trights aronvinced by the government's promise to be the internet's police force.cs some criay the rules are too broad. jim killock is the executive director. >> governments are allowed to do more or less what they like when it comes tvedata within ment. auey've got lots of exceptions that's a problem b government simply thinks the rules shouldn't apply to them. >> reporter: despite promises to reinforcthe firepower of the information commissioner, killock worries about the wriggling ability of big data

companies, with their multi- billion dollar war chests. >> enforcement is going to be a problem because big companies do have a huge amount of resource but also the number of officials is small. >> reporter: this presentation by facebook founder mark s ckerberg in san jose earlier this month, was rst public appearance, following his grilling by congress over the data harvesting scandal involving the british firm cambridge analytica. >> this has been an intense year. >> the idea that mr. zuckerberg has that the world should be an open place where everyone knows everything about everys absurd and it's dangerous. >> reporter: mark weinstein has set up a social media company called mewe that doesn't rely on advertising. if, for example his members wano ost extra videos or have a secret chat service they have to pay for it. westein is longtime privac campaigner, but his commentsve o be seen through the prism of being a business rival to facebook. i

>> privaan innate human right. it's almost part of the social contract for being alive. ads, to censorship, no algo >> i've got accounts with facebook, google, instagram,te twand youtube, and it's now investigating to see just how many cookies are out ther i've got 75 tracking me. >> what i've learned this year is that we year is that we need to take a broader view of our responsibility. it's not enough just to build powerful tools, we need to make they're used for good. >> it's very interesting that facebook have taken a preemptive measure against these new rules coming into place and they've umoved 1.5 billion facebors out of the european jurisdiction.

>> reporter: zuckerberg's address to european m.p.'s is being seen in london as a snub to the british parliam >> what we've said is that he won't accept to come to the u.k. to give evidence to the committee we will issue a summons against him the next time he enters the jisdiction of the u.k. authorities demanding at that point that he does give evidence. >> reporter: digital experts on this side of the atlan believe that the new european regulations will ultimately benefit americans if they decide d ey are being short changed by internet giants mand the same levels of protection now available in europe. for the pbs newshour, i'm malcolm brabant in london. >> nawaz: it's a monday evening in a midte election year, which means voters somewhere are heading to the polls tomorrow. this time it's primary voters in

georgia, kentucky and arkansas, and a runoff in texas. to give us an early look at what to watch, i'm joined by amy walter of "the cook political report" and stuart rothenberg on de elections. welcome, amy and stu. let's talk about some of the primary races, two particular, georgia and texas have caught a lot of people's attention. georgia the battle of stacey abrams and stacey evans and texas the runoff between laura moler and lizzietcher. amy, what do we know about the democrats now? what do the two races tell us about where they are right now? i think the most important thing you mentioned at the beginning is, if you noticed almost all the names were female. est ine have a cont question kentucky where there's a woman in a very competitive primary. so women have been a big stoy of this 2018 election. in either case, we're going to see a woman come out of one ofs these primard be the nominee. there's some debate. a lot of it is centered inbo washingtont whether there's

the ideological battle going on inhe democratic sie between the bernie coalition and the more centrist hillary clinton t'alition. i think whas happening is stylist than standtive, it's about the real ferv democratic side not just to turn out and vote and put more democrats in office and be a check on president trump, but the do it in a way that brings in a whole bunch of new people. what you're seeing in both the texas and georgie, one democrat is saying, if we're going to win, we've got to do by bringing out younger voters, voters of color,eople o don't normally turn out in midterm elections. you're not going to do that with a mealy-mouthed moderate message. the other democrats saying the only way we winin places like georgia and texas, you've got to win republicans. these ar not overwhelmingly democratic areas. so that's really what we're going to be watching for in the primary and how they translate that. whoever wins has to translate that investigati in a general election.

>> nawaz: stu, what do you think about that? we're talking about the battle of the soul. >> i think amy is being verynd i think in many cases reporters, analysts are trying to impose a single interpretation on every race throughout the country. i think the texas seven race with fleter and moser is an establishment versus conservative progressive flight. moer is the benders progressive, hold your feet to the fire. the georgia racis much less, so right, amy? there's a racial component heren we have a african-american woman and a white woman, and it's true thetritional argument was nominate the white woman who can hold the african-americans and yet gett white rs otherwise. >> nawaz: that was the safe bet, right in. >> that was the saf bet. otherwise, this race isn't

logical race.eo >> nawaz: and right, this would be the first african-american woman governor ever in the country. so that you have to look to as the more motivating factor than whether this isdeological. >> but does it say something about where the party is headinr when ylooking as to who they're choosing to support ors endorse in te cases? >> both parties are divided. they have mtiple wings and are trying to figure out how do we get along herandnominate candidates who can appeal to a broad spectrum of voters and have enough charisma and energy to bring out the base? >> right. and this is the other issuise in lection is so much of -- especially on the democraticnd side, the ates who are coming, this is organic. these people just decided one day they were going to run, the trump party energized them. the parties go outcr uit, maybe an insurgence they didn't

expect, in thiis case there are five or six or seven candidates they never talked to, they don't have anyhing to do with the party and they may be the standard bearers.g they're go have to catch up to where the candidates are as opposed to where the candidates catch up with the party. >> nawaz: let me askhere some o the candidates may end on capitol hill. they hit road bunks failed to pass the bill friday. is the republican at war witsself right now? >> stu made thisomment, they're always at war with themselves. and this indproven time again to be an ungovernable sicaucus on the republica, right, time and again it's theus freedom cahat tends to put the leadership in a rightly tight position. on immigration, i think we see the bigeger intal battle with the republican party between the hard liners and now president trump is ovethat side talk abou about m.s.-13 and

sanction and border securities, and more moderate republicans who have to go back in november and talk to more centrist voters with a message tha is not hard lined. >> there is a reason john boehner last sod long, the party couldn't figure out who would take the job. paul ryan became speaker because the party was looking fo alternatives. ryan said no and finally they d to get ryan. leading this group is very difficult. the nature of politicalip leaders more difficult when you have the outside forces competing against the establishment. >> speaking of leadehip, i want to ask you, stu, in reaction to the texas shooting last week, weeard fromenate majority leader mcconnell calling it a senseless act violence, we haven't heard a plan. is this where we are now? is this just the way it will move forward? states will have to step up if

they want to see some action? >> yeah, i can't imagine the hill doing anything in the near future. you're seeing some states address the issue in terms of gun control or accesso guns. no, it's going to have to be in the states. the only way guns is a national issue has to do with teh mid-term elections andti ting and mobilizing college-educated white women who have simply had it now with g and shootings and school shootings. >> that's the core group that could become a core issue. >> otherwise the states are going to have take the lead. >> and not just those women but also younger voters who have been marching in the streets, e they going to show up to the ballot box? >> we'll see, indeed, in midterms ahead. amy walter, stu rothenberg, good to talk to you, thanks for being here. >> you're welcome.

>> nawaz: before we go tonight, we remember the victims of the school shooting in santa fe, texas, in which ten people were killed, and 13 others injured. ey were sons and daughters, siblings, parents, spouses and, grandparents a course, students and teachers. thesare the ten people who died in friday's shooting and what friends and family have said about them. jared black turned 17 just two days before the shooting. his family planned to have a poolside birthday parthim this past weekend. his half-brother, nick black said "my brother loved to play minecraft on xbox, play pokemon go on his cellphone, and loved art." jared was in t art room when the shooting started. 16-year-old shana fisher also recently had a birthday. she, too, was in the art room at the time of the attack.il a ood friend said "she stood up to bullies for me whene
