the major thing here asked mr trump sas is defeat of iran's potential nuclear program oh absolutely not if the concern were ron's nuclear program the solution was the j c p o. if anything the pulling out of the running the risk that iran will restart industrial scale enrichment that raises the possibility of increased conflict across the board so if you want to conflict with iran this is the way to go this is obviously not about trying to contain iran's nuclear ambitions but also that what i think this is really about is barack obama president trump is trying to tear down the accomplishments of his predecessor i think it's pretty clear from his public remarks that he does not understand what was in the way or what is in the g. c.p.o. a and it doesn't really matter to him he doesn't have a policy objective he just wants to disparage barack obama and what about the so-called european allies because. there are some many issues involved i mean the fate of the european. exemptions from tariffs on steel and aluminum is still very much up in the air mr trump is supposed to make his decision un

. >> president trump also sa he wants what he is calling this rigged and disgusting witchhunt to come to a close. >>> john bolton, president trump national security advisor, is in israel and will be meeting with the israeli prime minister. said bolton's visit -- visit is especially important and they will talk about several tops -- topics including the reconstruction process and what that looks like in syria. also the rising tensions with iran. after his 48 hour stop in his room bolton will go to geneva switzerland and meet with his russian counterpart. read this comes amid larger conversations with the russians about the future of leadership in syria. three in india military air bases are now open to commercial flights to help relief efforts in an area hit by monsoon floods. the floods have killed more than 350 people and left hundreds of thousands of stranded in a southern indian state. many people can only be reached by boat or helicopter. the nearest airport has been closed for nearly a week. local officials say more than 800,000 people are staying in shelters. authorities are now

with the stroke of a pen, president trump slaps sa back on iran, a move tehran says he will regret. two men accused of torturing prisoners in the name of the bbc.islamic state speak to they still deny being members of i.s.ti these crs have captivated beachgoers. the work of one dutch a tist is grabbi attention of nasa. we will tell you where they could be heading next. laura: welcome to our viewers on pundic television in america around the globe. just after midnight, the u.s. will be reimposing sanctions on iran, the first majortrtep since thp administration withdrew from the nuclearag ement, which the president called the worst deal ever earlier this year. iran'sr. president accuses trump of psychological warfare. our north america editor jon sopel reports. jon: the demonstraons may be and they may be geographically widespread, but discontent across iran is high. d could be about to get whole lot higher still. the nss. will reimpose sanctio from tomorrow, making life even tougher. what c be done to avoid this? president trump's national security advis was characteristically blunt.

then in september, trump junior sa says he doesn't recall white house involvement in the statement. "the new york times" personal lawyer tells mueller trump dictated the statement. so it evolves and changes. if you're bob mueller, you know a hell of a lot more than we do about this. you have all the documentation and the like. again, beating a broken record, but the president keeps making the case that he should sit down with mueller. >> the big legal question here is not collusion. that's not really in statute here unless you're talking about anti-trust law. it's conspiracy to commit a crime. the crime is obtaining help from a foreign power, which could be construed as an in-kind campaign contribution. this is fascinating because of the prospect a subpoena could come in. yesterday, jay sekulow mentioned if a subpoena comes in, they're going to file a motion to quash. that's going to go up almost certainly to the supreme court. the supreme court is 4-4 in terms of appointees from either party. the potentially decisive vote could be brett kavanaugh, the nominee. he could have a pivota

i> woodruff: but i come back to trump wave,sa, because, what, tim pawlenty in minnesota, people are saying he was punished because hwasn't pro-trump enough. >> right, he had opposed the president when he was a candidate and now circled back and said he supports the president now.bu the republican voters didn't believe mr. pawlenty. i think he haanher problem, judy, and pawlenty lost by almost 9 point, sigrnificant f a two-term governor. he's seen as washington insider, someone who left the state and became aby lobt. so i think the part of the trump wave is an anti-washington wave that helped the president get his job and are hurting republicans who are ed to washington. >> woodruff: but, stu, if it is a closeness to donald trump that's helping some of these republicans, how does that help them or not in novesber? how t affect their chances the election. >> it may hurt them in november to the extent the elections i november become a referendum on the president and other voters come out. sure, trump voters will come out and will help republican candidates. the problem is the candidates who a

all these allegations seem to be snowballing not just in this case but also in the man afford case sas trump have the ability to stop these investigations and would he be able to call on it. donald trump cannot stop these investigations directly he would have to start firing a series of people at the justice department in order to make these investigations go away and as of now it appears that he can he would wish to do that but he cannot do it because there must be some hidden reservoirs of spine among congressional republicans who said that that would be a bridge too far they've obviously been willing to go very far with donald trump but i think terminating this investigation is a bridge too far for congressional republicans so i think donald trump is in the very endangered position it's very hard to see what his next moves are if this and other developments if i'm very curious the fact that cohen's lawyer is saying that they would not accept a pardon from the president what kind of a message does that send what does that say to you. i mean if it can be taken at face value and i'm not cert

president donald trump threatened presh sa eed fs is on turkey saying the u.s. not pay to free jailed u.s. pastor james brunson >> as you know, we were clear with our counterparts there, both secretary pompeo and myself on the release of the pastor we have sanctions against several of them. more if they don't release him quickly. >> we're tracking the lira against the dollar right now the euro is stronger against the lira the dollar has fallen back slightly against the lira. it's worth talking about the impact this could have in the european region. we have polish sector wage growth coming below expected figures in july. they were up 7.2% annually, but on a monthly basis, wages fell a lot of investors are expressing concern the last few days about the impact that the turkish currency's free mall might have on european growth. i want to ask about the impact on eastern europe. what do you see that as being? >> you don't sigh a lot of eastern european banks exposure on turkey. there's been some impact on currencies this has to do with the fact that we are low in th

today we heard key senators sa trump does not have the authority to negotiate ade bilatera with necks co-. it has to be tri-lateral. if it ends up being bilateral, he has to go back to the drawing board, fake more time and pushes the negotiating process past the midterms.t' >> woodruff: tsomething the administration presumably doesn't want. >> that's right. there are a lot of deadlines. the administration wants everyone to agree by friday, so th star90 day clock ticking and gives mexico's current president the time to sign it before heicleaves off in november. if they misthe friday deadline a lot of the other events may not come together. >> woodruff: so, greg, again, this is mething the president talked a lot about in the campaign. he frequently said nafta is hurting american workers, we need to rip it up, start over, aldo bilateals. i know this process isn't finished, but does it look as if what they're working toward would be significantly different than theurrent nafta.nk >> i don't tignificantly different. for an example, if an american company outsourced cars to mexicoo they wou

the republican nomination for florida's governorship has gone to a firm trump supporter — ron de sa ntisor mimicked his campaign strategies. the message republicans in washington are getting is that the party base wants more trump, not less. so this is opening a wider divide within the gop between the traditional party candidates and the new wave of pro—trump politicians. well, to discuss more about this issue, joining me now in the studio is rick wilson whose latest book is everything trump touches dies. let me dispute the title with you because it looks like when it comes to running for office around the country, getting president trump's endorsement is a good thing for candidates, not a bad thing. in the republican primaries perhaps because the republican party has be become the republican party has be become the party of come. in 2018, guys like edgar westby in virginia have been wiped off the map. the death touch of donald trump is one that plays out in the equation and i think in november we will see a lot ofa think in november we will see a lot of a replicated across the board in

i mean, this isn't like if you like that donald trump gets advice of people like okaro sa, go down this road. if you want him to call on people like admiral mccraven, you better change. >> that's so weird about this because actually people like mccraven and brennan, their credibility to do with what they have done. not with whether or not they still have security clearance. and so this really seems to be -- it doesn't make the nation safer to say we're not going to take any lessons or advice from john brennan, bill mccraven, bill gates. it makes the nation less safe. >> yeah. the other thing to remember is that -- first of all, donald trump doesn't care about that obviously. he is insulted and i think she is right. this is part of a profile of the authoritarian wannabe and what you expect from despotic countries and not led by democratically elected presidents and what's interesting is i wrote a book about free speech really from the -- sort of left side saying this is a very liberal value that i think a lot of the left isn't taking seriously. guess who loved the book. conservatives. an
