edward: not at all.hen anyone talks about americans going over the top in the first world war, they are certainly wrong because americans did not fight for the most part from trenches, from entrenchments. they were on the move. they were fighting a war of movement either in rushing to the defense of a certain point quickly, or they were on the attack. hill 204, a beautiful monument. it's a very interesting story of the battle that took place during belleau wood. for the most part the americans , are fighting in the open, which was pershing's idea. we should move back into the open, into the war movement. john: into the open. good americans have the earliest tanks? edward: we had some french tanks designed and built in france. they entered into combat under american command under george s. patton's command. at this point, the tanks on the battlefield are french tanks. john: what went right for americans in the first major engagements that they were involved in and what went wrong? edward: what is astonish

we want to talk to edward lengel, the author of "thunder and flames." howard beach, new york. good morning. you're on with edward lengel. >> good morning. i was hoping you could help me with two questions. one is did the french and the germans who were always planning for war for a very long time, did they ever talk? did they ever sit down, discuss and see if they could resolve their problems? that's one question. the other question is the zimmerman letter was sent to mexico, and the question i have is why did the germans think that the united states was going to come into the war given all the slaughter that had already occurred? thank you very much. >> sure. to answer your first question, was there a sense of inevitability in europe that there was going to be a major war leading right up to 1914. the germans assumed it, the french assumed it and the british and others all assumed that it was going to happen and that was really important in making the war actually happen. yes, the french and the germans did talk to each other and there was a lot of dip

edward: china has to be happy about this.his was the underlying strategy of the tpp that president trump walked away from. to have a group of economies united behind a certain set of rules different from a lot of china's economic practices as a way to put pressure on china. the u.s. and europe would be completely united by this because european companies are running into the same problems american companies are in china. they are worried about china, but they are also worried about a using menstruation that appears to be paying no attention at all to the rules of the wto. from china's perspective, all of this infighting gives them more leverage than they would have otherwise. said, it you have appears the administration is picking some a trade fights around the world. do they have a sense even if they haven't told us about what they are hoping to get done first and second? edward: i kind of think they are making it up on the fly. the nafta renegotiation did not surprise me because the president put so much emphasis on it duri

i still marvel at the courage and hope he must have had to stand for office in prince edward county, alone among all in the united states the closest --to close its public schools rather than integrate them. one can only imagine the hostility carl faced as he teared to lead them. twice more over the decades, carl ran for mayor, getting closer each time and earning the support and respect of much of farmville's white community. with respect for his many the vements, including long years chairing the prince edward democratic committee, my greatest appreciation for carl is founded on his strong and generous character. he is the friend i treasure most. i never heard him utter an unkind word about another person. it is unfailingly loyal, trustworthy, and patient, he works every moment. he's the guy yet civil rights leader and political force who's been responsible for so much of the forward progress in virginia over the last generation. on the occasion now of the publishing of his autobiography, i'm proud to call carl my friend and know you will enjoy and appreciate his story. carl's life

edward: i think this group has answered that. even when i was at goldman sachs in 2006, i was fascinating and disturbed by income disparity. not just in the u.s., but all over the world. i really do believe for our political system to work, in a longer-term, there has to be -- it is difficult to work with that level of disparity. obviously, it is a significant issue. it is one that predated the financial crisis. there are all kinds of structural issues that were causing it. i think automation and technology are having a major impact. i'm not going to argue against that. technology is doing a wonderful job of helping a lot of people rise out of poverty. it has got great potential. but i firmly believe in the united states of america right now is killing more jobs than it is creating. and automation is really putting pressure on wages. and i think this poses a huge challenge. and i would just want to say one other thing. i actually wish i said it at the beginning, how honored and privileged i was to work for president bush. he was

let's go to our own edward lawrence with the story. hey, edward.eporter: trish, boeing has been smart how they manage things. airline manufacturers will be hit some of biggest. of the two biggest airline manufacturers, airbus is impacted more than any because they have already started to deliver planes to iran that they did under a deal in 2016. so airbus now will fall under that sanction even though it's a european firm because there are american parts inside of their planes. boeing will also feel impact of this. they signed a deal last year for $3 billion with irlines in iran. in total they have agreements for about 110 planes worth $20 billion. the big difference though the company has not started building those planes yet. >> we had made any skyline production slot commitments on those airplanes. i think most sensitive to that was the 777 line, our wide body line. none of those planes are in the backlog. we were pushing some of those out to mitigate our risk and we'll continue to follow the u.s. government's lead here. reporter: the other big i

edward: the europeans are going to fight against this.istory of the europeans objecting to u.s. sanctions for actions not taking place in the united states. et connects back to the zt issue we began this segment with. the long-term effect is going to be that countries are going to begin to say we cannot be dependent on these far-flung global supply chains. a lot of companies are going to say we have to be able to supply our own components because there is the threat of third country sanctions that will harm our business. the effect of this is going to be a lot more economic nationalism, a lot of countries looking inward to try to bring some of the supply chain back to reduce these vulnerabilities. i think there are long-term implications to these actions that people are only starting to wake up to. even ifhe problem is the europeans tried to form support for these european countries, in the end it is down for them to choose. one company said they will not contribute -- not counter u.s. sanctions. they have tobasis, be careful, irrespectiv

are trying to make sure that economic won't come at their expense but joining us now from london is edward gloss of latin america economist at capital economics good to speak with you so i guess the obvious question here is after everything that argentines went through with the i.m.f. seventeen years ago and the pain that so many of them felt there why is argentina again turning to the i.m.f. for help now. well there i mean there are two reasons for that quite simply one is the huge fiscal deficit the budget deficit is huge about six six and a half percent of g.d.p. as a counterpart in the large current account deficit which is about five percent of g.d.p. and the second reason is high inflation inflation is still one in about twenty five percent year on year. and so as well as all that you also have high levels of. dollar denominated or foreign currency debts which as the peso continues to fall the cost of servicing those debts rises in local currency terms and how's the i.m.f. going to approach this i mean have they learned anything. from from the previous experience with argentina is th

let's get on edward lawrence in d.c. live with the details. edward? reporter: liz, i can tell you for the very first time the president says that maybe the summit with north korea won't happen on june 12th. however, the state department says they are working forward towards that date and only that date. president trump saying he will personally guarantee the safety of north korean leader kim jong-un at that meeting. president going onto say he would recognize kim jong-un as the one to lead the north korean people into the future. >> i would say that we are looking certainly right now at two koreas, two successful koreas. you have a very, very successful north korea, and a very successful and you already do, south korea. reporter: all of that is predicated on denuclearization and also the north korean leader actually sitting down at the table in singapore. >> i do have a real sense that he would -- he would find american investment, american technology, know-how of real value to his people. if we get this right and get the denuclearization right that a

the jury didn't buy the argument and john edwards lost. if it works for john edwards, why wouldn't that work for donald trump? >> the key word is jury. there's an indictment that juries have to decide. there could be two reasons. giuliani stated one reason on fox and friends. it said imagine if it happened during the debate and it would have heard the campaign and michael cohen did his job. that's one view. another view is it was about his marriage. that's up to a jury to decide. i think my friend joe would say there's enough probable cause for there to be an indictment. >> i don't know who would be indicted but it wouldn't be the president. the bottom line is, when there's a history of crisis management inside of a business like there was in the trump enterprise. there was all sorts of crisis management going on. settlements all the time involving businesses, financial transactions and personal relationships. those predate any campaign. the allegations here are from 2006. the notion that this is somehow related to the campaign requires an
