we have cnn's clarissa ward live with us in the moscow bureau. clarissa, what do leaders say? >> reporter: there is anxiety as donald trump prepares to take the oath of office. we know people are angry with protests across london and berlin and sydney. some people angry with the rhetoric on the campaign trail. there are parties around the world. people who want to watch the inauguration. many people this is historic. i think the main thing people will concentrate on is listening to the inauguration address and try to get a better clue or looking out for inkling of what a trump foreign policy may look like. beyond some of the more explosive comments we heard, whether the nato is obsolete or questioning the future integrity of the one china policy or bans on muslims or building walls with mexico. beyond that kind of bombastic rhetor rhetoric, there is not much knowledge or understanding of what foreign policy will look like under a future president trump. that is what has many world leaders feeling a little bit anxious. a sense of ambiguity and people want clarity on what the re

clarissa ward in moscow. thank you. >>> a moment ago, you heard our senior white house correspondent jim acosta talk about that moment yesterday when donald trump lashed out at cnn during the press conference. here is that heated exchange with acosta and donald trump over the intel report. >> you are attacking our news organization. >> not you. your organization is terrible. your organization is terrible. >> give us a chance to ask a question, sir. >> quiet. go ahead. she's agosking a question. >> don't be rude. i'm not going to give you a question. >> can you state cat g catagorically -- >> gjim tells us he was threatened to be thrown from the trump tower if he asked another question. >>> and the first step at repealing obamacare. a budget blue print that passed along party lines. 51-48. not before turning away amendments from democrats. >> thanks to immediate cmedicai children's health insurance program, two programs stronger by the affordable care act. 95% of children in america now have affordable health

clarissa ward in moscow. thank you. >>> breaking overnight. the senate move could be the first step at repealing obamacare. the budget blueprint that passed along party lines. 51-48. rand paul voted against it. they approved it after turning away democratic amendments. >> thanks to medicaid and the children's health insurance program, two programs made stronger by the affordable care act, 95% -- think of that, 95% of children in america have affordable comprehensive health insurance that covers annual physicals and dental care. why would we want to move backwards instead of building on that 95%? >> imagine becoming pregnant and your insurer dropping coverage because you cost too much money? imagine being a cancer survivor and having coverage dropped because you survived cancer. if you loved women and you love your mothers and daughters and wives. please do not unwind the affordable care act. >> this moves to the house which could consider the bill friday. >>> hearings on capitol hill today. at 10:00, senators taking up the nominations of ben c

clarissa ward is from our moscow bureau, what are world leaders saying, clarissa? >> reporter: well, i think christine, there is no secret there is actually quite a lot of anxiety out there today as donald trump prepares to take the oath of office and quite a bit of anger as well. we know there are protests being scheduled for different cities across the world, london, berlin and sidney. but i think in terms of world leaders they will be listening very closely to that inaugural address. as you said looking for clues, really, about what president-elect trump's foreign policy is really going to look like. because i think beyond what we've heard in terms of those more explosive comments whether it's calling nato obsolete or threatening the continuation of the one china policy. whether it's talking about building a wall with mexico or some of his praise for vladimir putin. other than those kind of more explosive comments, there is still a lot of ambiguity, and it is that sense of the unknown and anticipation that has many world leaders on edge. we know that president-e

clarissa is joining me now. 2016, a humbling year. always good to have humility on this job. how will that inform how you do your job in 2017? >> well, i think the first thing that we have to realize going forward was that we have to listen and spend more time paying attention of talking and hearing what people have to say because i think a lot of reporters understandably in a sense did not really realize how deep the shift was. taking place right beneath our feet, it felt like we were the last people to realize it. i'm talking about this not from the perch of covering the u.s. election, which i did not. i'm talking about covering it from overseas. i remember the day before the brits voted to leave the european union, the day of the referendum, i was on a train from brussels to london and all he wanted to talk about was brexit and this vote and he was fired up about it and i couldn't fathom why this american was so interested in what i saw as a largely domestic issue that i assumed would probably not have such huge international ripples and now i realize that was the moment w

new ideology. >> clarissa ward. thank you. >>> still to come.any moment, the new president will be on the way to the national prayer service in washington. looking at live pictures from the national cathedral in washington. the president will be leaving the white house with his family and the vice president and the vice president's family as well. they'll be heading over to the national cathedral. this is a tradition for every new american president. >>> also coming up, very different story. dozens of democrats boycotted the inauguration. what will it take for them to actually work with the new american president. democratic congressman gutierrez next. it's just a date. i can stay. i'm good. i won't be late hey mom. yeah. no kissing on the first date, alright? life doesn't always stick to a plan, but with our investment expertise we'll help you handle what's next. financial guidance while you're mastering life. from chase. so you can. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis isn't it time to let the real you shine through? introducing ote

clarissa martinez—de—castro of national council of la raza. thank you.include suspending the issuing of visas to seven countries — all predominantly muslim. but there's one country that president trump is striving to build close ties with. on tuesday he called the indian prime minister, narendra modi, after an election campaign in which he worked hard to garner support from america's hindus. rickin majithia, from the bbc asian network, reports. we love the hindus. we love india. he may have come under criticism for his statements on minorities living in the united states but there is one group of americans donald trump has cosied up to. back in october, donald trump addressed the republican hindu coalition. the man who invited him there and donated nearly $1 million to his campaign was shalli kumar. he is gonig to introduce a government or a running government that is by the people, for the people, of the people and not some special interest groups which benefit only certain groups. despite being an immigrant to the united states himself, mr kumar is com

let's go to clarissa ward who is in moscow. clarissa, obviously just to set the table here, this is the kremlin. they say things that are not true. people in the u.s. government say things that are not true, but i would argue that they do it in the kremlin to a greater degree. what did they have to say today? >> well, i think, jake, that the kremlin has been really very consistent in its messaging with regards to allegations of hacking and now with this specific report. we heard from the kremlin spokesperson dmitri paskov who has reported and called these reports in the past ludicrous nonsense. today he also was prone to several rhetorical flourishes. he said it was a clear attempt to harm our bilateral relationship. the fabrication of such lies in terms of the previous open part of the report and this one, which is a comparable lie, it's called pulp fiction in english. he then went on to address the allegations that russia may have so-called compromise on president-elect donald trump. it's obviously a russian tactic that has b

i want to bring in clarissa ward. the president insist that this is not a muslim ban despite that he promised for one as a candidate. and that it appears to many across the world to be one. what are your thoughts on that? >> well, briana, i think you can ignore the optics of this. and sean spicer and the white house administration can continue to insist until they are blue in the face that this is not a mum list ban. but to the rest of the world i can tell you that it is being perceived as a muslim ban. that's for several reasons. first of all the seven countries that are targeted as a part of this ban are muslim majority countries. second of all, we saw those could have yachts in the form of vary nows tweets by president donald trump indicating that krichbl refugees would be given different treatment you read out from the executive order. it does make clear there is religious preference going on here. thirdly, people overseas do watch the u.s. media as well and people have seen the former mayor of new york city, mayo

. >> i appreciate the reporting, and oren lieberman -- our clarissa ward a spokesperson for the kremlin, call this is phone call a, quote, diplomatic necessi necessity. >> there's a lot of phone calls taking place between president netanyahu and approximately trump. the issue of dealing with isis, of facing down against radical islamic terrorism. so that's one potential thing they might be discussing together. but there are also some really sticky issues that the u.s. and russia will have to resolve, if there is going to be this rack rush mall, i'm speaking of russian aggression in ukraine and also in syria and for the russian part, there's a lot of anger about the u.s. sanctions against russia, which have really debilitated the russian economy especially in connection with european sanctions, and just today, we heard the russian prime minister saying hold on a second, don't expect those sanctions to be repealed any time soon. he was actually saying he thinks they could last for quite a bit longer and that russia should not rely on any new world leader to fulfill that promise. so we're

cnn correspondent clarissa ward is live in moscow with more.become a very important focal point in our politics, clarissa, what's the news there? >> the news is positive. we've heard from a kremlin spokesperson that president putin will be reaching out to call president donald trump in the coming days to congratulate him. he also said in the coming months, the expectation is that they would meet face-to-face. saying president putin is ready to meet with president trump. already some here getting excited. one russian lawmaker wrote on twitter after mr. trump's inauguration, his meeting with president putin will be the most important moment event in world politics. a defining moment in history. people here definitely looking forward to having possibly a different relationship. a new philosophy that might govern the new world order. we should say, of course, not all international reaction has been positive at all, chris. quite the contrary, we've seen protests taking place across the globe. and while, of course, we've seen the traditional boiler p

over to moscow and clarissa ward. to shelter russia from responsibility about the hacks which the intel community is very clear on, donald trump tweeted about julian assange's denial. now he is citing russia as a source for the reason that american people shouldn't believe this and he says russia says it's not true. you've picked up in your reporting of the russian report, the similarity in language trump is using, a witch hunt, the same thing the russians are calling it. >> reporter: it's pretty extraordinary, chris. what we're seeing is president-elect donald trump directly quoting the kremlin spokesperson, dimitri peskov, who told reporters that this entire report is a witch hunt. he described it, quote, as a clear attempt to harm our bilateral relationship. the fabrication of such lies in terms of the previous open part of the report and this one which is a comparable lie, it's called pulp fiction in english. peskov also went on to address the allegations that russia had been collecting compromad, an age-old or de

>> clarissa ward reporting live from london. the backlash against trump's immigration travel ban is growing even among republicans. the koch brothers say it's the, quote, wrong approach and, quote, counterproductive. 16 republican lawmakers are also critical of trump's move including, as you heard, senator jain w john mccain who spoke out sunday morning. >> it is a confused process which, the good news is it's only got to do with a pause. the bad news is obviously this process in these conclusions were not vetted. >> i'm joined by representative darrell issa, a republican from california and a member of the house committee on foreign affairs. welcome, sir. >> thank you, carol. just to put it in perspective, for more than a decade three separate presidents banned americans from going to lebanon, temporary bans for reasons of security, lack of vetting capability go both ways. as you might know jimmy carter banned people coming from iran, one of the seven countries we're dealing with. although i don't want to say that this was perf

. >>> let's get the global perspective from nic robertson, cnn enter nant correspondent clarissa wardent oren lieberman. nic, let's start with you. what is the prediction about theresa may's visit? >> the prediction is she thinks, and this is based on what donald trump said in a newspaper interview last week, that she can get a trade deal, an improved trade deal with the united states. she wants that because she wants to be able to go to the european union. as she's told them already, no deal is better than a bad deal. she's told they'll made britain a tax haven if they don't give her the exit deal she wants. she believes she's going to get the type of support from donald trump that will allow her to be tough with the european union. of course, donald trump says he supports brexit and wouldn't be surprised if the european union doesn't split up. not quite the way tereheresa ma sees all of it, but they're seeing something eye to eye on something important to her. >> let's talk about nafta, renegotiating. he's going to be having talks with the president of mexico as well as the prime mi

clarissa ward is in moscow and has more on the significance of this conversation and what exactly theye talking about, clarissa. >> there is a lot of anticipation as to when this phone call between president putin and president trump will take place and what exactly the two leaders will in fact talk about. we have heard from the kremlin that it's expected to happen in the coming days, that president putin is expected to reach out and congratulate president donald trump and we know that one area that president trump actually talked about a possible cooperation with russia on is the issue of fighting isis and fighting radical islamic terrorism. so that might be one issue that comes up that they discuss. but there are also a lot of sticking points, a lot of really thorny issues, that made have this a difficult relationship, i'm thinking specifically, of russian aggression in syria, of russian aggression in ukraine and for the russian part, of course, there is deep seated anger about the u.s. sanctions against russia that have had a tremendous affect on this economy. today we actually hear

let's get right to cnn's clarissa ward in london. the uk is just one of the u.s.izing president trump for the executive order. >> reporter: that's right. right now their approach is taking place here in london. outside the prime minister's residence. there are also protests taking place in canada. jake, few world leaders want to come out and publicly criticize the white house. that puts them in a very awkward position, especially theresa may, who is desperately hoping to negotiate a good trade deal with the u.s., but nonetheless she did come out today. she said, quote, as far as the ban goes, we have been clear. we don't agree with it. and that was one of the more moderate responses. international criticism of president trump's travel ban is growing. >> this is not an approach that this government would take. >> reporter: in the uk today, foreign secretary boris johnson stepped carefully into the fray. >> where we have differences with the united states, we will not quell from expressing them. >> reporter: following prime minister theresa may's meeting with presid

clarissa ward is in moscow and has more on the significance of this conversation. >> reporter: there's a lot of anticipation now as to when this phone call will take place between president putin and president trump. the kremlin spokesperson indicated it could take place any time in the coming days. the president poout listen likely call president trump to congratulate him. and then the question becomes, what will the two world leaders be discussing? well, one issue of potential cooperation that president trump has suggested in the past is that the two world leaders could work together on trying to deal with the problem of terrorism and of isis specifically. but there are certainly some major sticking points between the u.s. and russia. some really thorny issues. i'm thinking specifically of russian aggression in ukraine and also in syria. and of course, for the russian part, there's a lot of resentment about u.s. sanctions against russia. which have certainly hobbled the russian economy and today we heard from the russian prime minister who said don't expect those sanctions to be roll
