i'm hugh hewitt.le much of america's business and political elite is in davos, here on msnbc following developments in the russia probe and the exploding fbi and doj controversies. after the week opened with the collapse of the schumer shutdown, a huge win for donald trump and mitch mcconnell and great shock to the democratic base about the lack of resolve among senate leadership, the news quickly turned to the continuing eruption of economic good news for workers and companies across the united states, as well as the surprising emergence of the outline of a deal on daca, border security, and defense spending. after the break, perhaps before it, we will focus on what may very well explode into the biggest story of the year next week, an escalation with turkey, our nato ally. but first a few minutes with the trio of d.c.'s best reporters they found to be the biggest stories of the week. i'm joined by courtney kube, "the daily beast" martin and for the first time alana plot. i will start with lachlan, w

hugh pym is here to take a closer look at the numbers., as always the nhs debate covers money — politicians talking about billions of pounds. the chancellor mentioned £6 billion more in the budget for the nhs in england but that's spread over five years. there are growing demands now for radical thinking about health and social care funding, trying to work out what's needed in future decades and how much extra money taxpayers will have to find. the workforce is under pressure. vacant nursing and midwifery posts reached a new high of more than 3a,000 in england. that's added to the debate about the need for long—term planning. some senior figures at westminster say only a break from party politics will allow the right treatment of the nhs‘s problems. we need to take the long view. rather than just having these short—term emergency injections of cash, let's properly look at the scale of demand, where that's coming from and how we meet it, not just for the next year or two years, but for the next ten years and beyond. so, what is the current

the bbc‘s robbie savage played under hughes at blackburn rovers and wales, and said ultimately hughess so important, they have got great people running they have got great people running the club, they don't sack managers often, they have two or three managers in 20 years or something so they are not a sacking club sofa them to sack him obviously they thought was a necessity and i understand it, but! thought was a necessity and i understand it, but i think they should have kept him up. liverpool have offered a 50 pound voucher to fans who bought a shirt with philippe coutinho's name on it. the club's offer comes after his departure to barcelona on a 142 million pound, 5.5—year deal. the fee is a british record and makes coutinho the second—most expensive footballer in history after his compatriot neymar. the brazilian playmaker made 201 appearances for liverpool and he was the club's leading goalscorer last season with 1a. northampton have ended their run of seven consecutive premiership defeats with a 22—19 win over gloucester at franklin's gardens. the visitors led for much of the m

after the game, hughes seemed to know the writing was on the wall.ague side goes out to a lower side in the third round, it is news. it is not the news we wa nted it is news. it is not the news we wanted to create prior to the game, but it has happened. we just need to pick ourselves up and understand why it happened. there are things we need to address. i have already touched on our defensive work not being where it needs to be. all in all, credit to coventry. they deserved to win. philippe coutinho's four—and—a—half—year spell at liverpool is at an end after he joined barcelona for a fee worth up to $192 million. the brazilian playmaker quickly became a firm favourite at anfield afterjoining the club from inter milan. he made 201 appearances for liverpool and he was the club's leading goalscorer last season with 1a. australia's batsmen made england's bowlers toil in the ashes fifth test as usman khawaja extended his overnight 91 into 171. the marsh brothers inflicted more pain, with shaun smashing an unbeaten 98, while mitch is on 63 not out. austr

howard hughes. he is crazy. he is eccentric. he doesn't care what people think and clearly and he came from a mining background and said he sensed that nobody would say howard hughes would not do that but they would say of course he would. so that was the plan. he agreed to do it so it was a story they sold to the world. >> there has never been the official release i have heard estimates between 30,800,000,000. and the engineering began in 70 and is also a 650 long shift with 17000-foot steel pipe but then is what they nicknamed clementine. you could not explain that. but to build that as a drydock inside a barge so nobody could see from the outside but the barge submerged the ship that catalina. they reached down the top open and but they have brilliant engineering. and there is of people on the beach all billing this huge crazy howard hughes. so fix months into it i get a phone call out by lax somebody wants to meet you and a guy sits across the table and says signed this it was clearance that this is not a mining project it i

>> tphoebg tphoebg, i would have to say, hugh.im jong-un talked about how crippling the sanctions have been in this country. he made an overture to south korea saying he was willing to talk to them about the olympics specifically, about the potential for north korea to send a delegation to pyeongchang which begin in a couple of weeks. that led to south korea extending an invitation to north korea to actually speak. it's been set for january 9th. of course there's still some staff work that has to happen before that actually occurs. but it's looking promising that there will be discussion between north korea and south korea. they have already also opened up this line of communication that has been closed several years now. it's just a telephone. but i don't think most people realize when north korea and south korea communicate back and forth with one another they use a bull horn. i was in south korea a couple of months ago, and they literally when south korea was informing north korea of an upcoming exercise, they go and they use a

a great question that i read about a lot because of this piece i wrote about charles evans hughes. the genesis of this article was that charles evans hughes narrowly lost the presidential election at the height of the first world war and he gave a famous address with a thesis that the power to wage war is the power to wage war successfully and i wanted to know what he was worried about defending and the controversial heions of the government's was trying to defend and a controversy was the national war one,, until world wasidea of the draft constitutionally controversial and i would ask students what they thought the argument was. they thought it might be slavery. going although it back to the colonies, the individual .olonies and states had drafts they constitutional argument was federalism. the idea is that the state have a controversial -- constitutional power to conscript citizens, but the national government does not. if they do, it even as to rates militia power. it was a argument that was persuasive in 1812 and talked monroe out of advocating the draft and was controversial
