rather than the incredible economy that we have today. it would be self pay for me to stay in this position. and continue talking about a case of twelve years old. rather than about the amazing economy we have right now. and so i submitted my resignation to the president. no for more at one what is the latest that resignation of from the trump administration we're joined from washington by david smith washington bureau chief. said the guardian newspaper. ad david's -- i'm just until a little bit earlier and yesterday in fact to costa was defending his record whahat was it the pushed in to go now. that's right. he h he tried to clean althoughe gave an extensive press conference -- defending himself against these criticisms. suggesting for example but prosecutors back in that case a decade ago in florida -- did not want to go as far as yeah he done all he could do -- any any

epstein tags but the pressure grew when some of that's claims wheree -- disputed by peoplee w- ram enrolled at the time and i also pointed out that sound as part of this. agreement. jeff yep stein's victims well we're not even informed which was againsnst the law so who iso rarely across the special event walls are strongly. question and what's the fresh charges against epstein -- emerge. in new york a few days ago -- his position looked -- increasing mail titled -- widespread demands for him to step down that it was that you just one scandal too many i think for this. administration -- some appraising a coaster. but doing notable thing an unfolding all his soul. i'm mike -- many of those who've tried -- to whether the store. no tell us a little bit more -- tell our viewers who haven't been following the the blow by blow accounts of jeffrey ups

teens at and misdemeanors over the years to tell us a little bit more about the figure of jeffrey eckstine. and who he has front her nights with which is many of course of the grace and good rich and famous at in washington new york and elsewhere. tell us more about him and where the ball could stop if you like in terms of and hit that that the poison of being associated with them at this stage. yeah i've seen. a wealthy up a billion ask financier -- live the high life in the in new york and florida and as you say very well connected -- he was -- study friendly with -- donald trump but onene pointnt and as you can imagine the president has been. eager to distancece himseself himself in recent days. bill clinton -- traveled on his playing and and and consoles i out now what trying to decide and even -- britain's prince andrew -- one day i called tax.

i'm and i think it's important member the timings was long before the meat to iraq at stee- carried all with impunity -- for a while and i don't see even when it was course in part i got this pre dale -- consulted adding a thirty month sentence - with plenty of flexibility buck. press joins the coming new york more women have come forward in tv interviews -- in the area of the the me too movement -- bear its determination to hold men to account for crimes such as sexual harassment and it's it's pretty cool site with. jeff grant seen in you you see math in the in the public reaction -- widespread condemnation -- a widespread view thahat he must now pay for these crimes which included -- paying money to girls paying them to bring more girls to his residence is -- on the pretext of getting my soldiers but that could be cut into sexual abuse and david do you t think what's

your opinion on whether or not this could really impact on donald trump -- personally we remember going back to his campaign at the scandals over it you know very said tapes that were rececorded prob proboblem y the bleepep -- - it didn't a aft the white house h he wonon theo presidency are we looking at a president who is. somewhat teflon when it comes to issues like this and and sex scandals beingng associated it would it would take really a smoking gun for it. to affect him personally. i think so -- i i don't expect to long term damage to trump. from this -- partly calls are a coaster has resigned and about will potentially. a necklace and the bugugs -- and paul hill said because the issue dated back. many years the call the trump presidency -- and i decade ago - and and then in addition indeed-

trouble it seems the benefits for all men. yeah it's got a little going on a wall. in the old days that a president would have one scandal it could be -- fake whole -- he he has about a dozen all the guy -- and and people get confused and they they tend to neutralize each other -- the the reason deposit british i'm past that -- can derek -- like into trump to the terminator who -- emerges from the e plane. going a teflon terminator so possibly at least [inaudible] yes. the slogan in any case said david what will it will it will see how it plays out but thank you for those insights into. at the jeffrey obscene. scandal and how that could impact further on the trump administration with alexander calls to resign. now moving on it's a move that could create major friction in nato as turkey a member of the alliance that has begun t taking livery of an advanced russian missile defense system. and washington has spent months at trying g to prevent the deal

russian capital it has to be said you know that the the history of turkish russian relations. is not a good -- one there have been conflicts over the centuries and quite often that their interests as we saw very recently witith the shooting don of a russian plane -- over the turkish border with syria i'm not always -- not a not always on the same page so you're the the the the site to consider as well but for the moment it does seem that. turkey under rigid tie above the line is set on going down this fall for whatever reason -- and nato and thehe united states is going g to be forced. to respond in one way or another not this station looks like it's going to be sanctions. the question i think it will be hiss house turkey going to responond to that. rob persons are speaking a little bit earlier no building towards hurricane strength tropical storm battetery is startiting towards l louisiana s friday. as t the states -- prerepares fr what could be a long slow and epic drenching.
