it does go have a talk which was most democratic legitimacy deal imposed on you by parliament or no deal bricks that wasn't on the ballot paper well first of all the for those who don't want to see no deal as i've said then they have to agree a deal you talked about a bricks it deal imposed on by parliament actually i think if you look at what's been said across parliament nobody has yet come up with an alternative bricks it deal that is negotiable and that actually nobody has come up with an alternative brecht's it deal that is negotiable and that delivers on the result of the referendum and that's what we must remember this is not just about negotiating a deal is about negotiating a deal that delivers on the result of the referendum taking back control of money or some borders but also ensure that we do it in a way that maintains jobs maintain security protects jobs and security and protects our union and that's what the deal does. i see nick from sky. good morning promise of nick martin from sky news i just want to add to a question it was mentioned earlier. and it will perhaps unders

i have aay says democratic legitimacy from that referendum, although it did not say what kind. concern. tom, if you are a parliamentarian and you represent a constituency that wants to leave, what do you do? do you vote for a deal where you are leaving, but it actually safeguards the economy, or do you vote for a hard brexit? nobody really knows what kind of leaving the u.k. is voting for. erik: that is exactly right. where i think theresa may has gone out on a limb is the fact that she says i have a democratic legitimacy from the referendum, i do not care about parliament's majority, per se. she is putting something that is the best, feasible deal, if you want to leave. tom: this is dartmouth 101, believe people say we need a wto follow-on. if that feasible? wto negotiation? erik: the world will not close to britain. wto, go to allhe sorts of places, but nothing will happen quickly. is ade deal with the wto five-year to 10-year operation. it, we are core of so entwined in the trade and investment community and the way that we conduct business is that nothing can be changed in

elections were neither free, fair, nor credible, stripping the government of nicolas maduro .f democratic legitimacy venezuela stands in urgent need of a government that genuinely represents the will of the is capable of beginning a process of reconciliation. belgium recognizes and supports the national assembly as the democratically elected make anion and we urgent call for the national assembly's power to be restored and respected. i call on authorities to uphold andcivil rights, security, freedom of members of the national authority, including juan guaido, and immunity guaranteed by the constitution. we need to pay heed to the people of venezuela themselves. over recent years, the citizens of that country have spoken up courageously on multiple occasions. several have paid with their lives for their bravery. when they voted for change, they were given short and not listen to. today, in caracas they have demanded the right to choose their own future. belgium reiterates they firmly peaceful solution is feeling way of ending the political deadlock and bringing to an end the political crisis that dea

about what you say is the damage to public faith if brexit does not go ahead, which has most democratic legitimacyal. you talk about a brexit deal imposed on by parliament, but i think if you look at what is being said, nobody has yet come up with an alternative brexit deal that is negotiable and actually, no one has come up with an alternative that delivers on the result of the referendum. that is what we must remember. this is not just about negotiating a deal, it is about delivering on the result of the referendum, taking back control, but also ensuring that we do it in a way that maintainsjobs, but also ensuring that we do it in a way that maintains jobs, security, protects jobs and security and protects jobs and security and protect our union, that is what the deal does. sky news. i wanted and to a question mentioned earlier, perhaps understanding where you are in your own mind as you stand here. do you leave that you can get this through? and show you will, but do you actually think you will?” and show you will, but do you actually think you will? i am working to ensure that we get members o

there was democratic legitimacy. you look at the whole picture, it has done very well compared to other periods in history. there has been less war compared to other periods of history. there have been global progress. so the aggregate you have to give the american foreign-policy over the last several therations real credit, and caller points to a lot of truth, which is a, there have been a , includingw ups iran, which loomed very large, and should, and two, the elites, or the people running it, the technocrats, have done a lousy job of selling what is actually going on in making people understand that yes, vietnam and iraq were large screw ups, but they were even larger wars that you would normally have expected to happen over the last 75 years, which has not happened because the broader foreign-policy has been sensible. telle question of how to the story, technology problems, make sure that we correct them without throwing the baby out with the bathwater, or whatever clichÉ you want, that is an interesting challeng

democratic charter in 2001. and basically, what has given legitimacy to this joint diplomatic action is to protect and make applicable the interamerican democratic charter. hand in hand, the lima group at the beginning of january, made a very strong statement giving only legitimacy to the venezuelan national assembly. what happened yesterday was that the national assembly gave the presidential powers to juan guaido and he needs to re-establish the institutional in venezuela and call for free elections. we all have to work together in this line of action. and i would believe that any other action in the diplomatic sphere that would come from other countries won't have a legitimacy because we have seen the oas, the lima group, and the protection and the defense of the democratic charter as the issue that is giving legitimacy to this important diplomatic joint action by most of the countries in the hemisphere with just few exceptions. so i think this is something that has to be applauded, and i hope that russia and china do not interfere in this process because latin america as a whole wants this transition for the sake

i know a lot of democrats want to question the legitimacy of this president. >> the younger progressive democrats think they have all the enthusiasm. that's why they are talking about people like kamala harris. >> harris: what should their message become a real quickly? >> the message should be not trump for democrats. >> harris: how about health care? how about solving some problems? we have a group called the problem solvers in the house. >> immigration makes us stronger. not weaker. it should be basically everything that this president -- >> harris: great to see you as always. happy new year. we will be right back there's little rest for a single dad, and back pain made it hard to sleep and get up on time. then i found aleve pm. the only one to combine a safe sleep aid, plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. i'm back. aleve pm for a better am. i'about their valuable va home veterloan benefit. the newday va cash out loan can get you $54,000 or more to pay off credit card debt, put cash in the bank, and lower your payments by over $600 a month. wit

about them -- the president has indicated and given every that he will give them a path to legitimacy if the democrats support him or vacuum. some kind of compromise on the wall. pick a number ! >> martha: let's get down to business here. gentlemen, thank you very much. great to see both of you. >> martha: my next gas as a freshman congressman along with about 70 other lawmakers, he is forgoing his salary until they figure this whole thing out. reopen that part of the government. dan crenshaw trends me now. good to see you. what is your reaction to this puerto rico trip? a big deal or not? >> it's not that they had a lot of fun. [they been talking a lot about the flight that federal workers see themselves end. they're not wrong about that but if you'll talk about that, i don't know if these excursions are the right way to handle tha that. we should be negotiating. democrats had a $0 for any barrier on the border weeks ago and they are still at $0. that is not negotiating. the president's plan was initially along the border wall and he has come down to 230 miles of that. from 25 billion to about 5.7 bi

. >> look, i'm going to ask two democrats here, is there some legitimacy to what amy in saying the wayeaks. >> no. >>e i i'm going to tamp down o everything, don. >> i'm just so disturbed. go back to the beginning of your point, amy, you hope no republicans defect. if there's a prima facie case this president, his minions, his people worked with russia, destroyed notes, disregarded protocol, i would hope that republicans would do what senator john mccain said would putid country first and defect. i would defect from my democratic case. >> i would hope if the fbi has found that there's no collusion or cooperation that they issue a public apology to this president. >> adrian, quickly, give me your thoughts. >> i'm with don on this. this is a self-manufactured crisis. the intelligence community, president trump does not trust them. that's t deeply troubling for sitting president of the united states. >> i got to go. good to see all three of you as always. >> you, too. >>> california democrat said she would vote for a barrier. that's ahead. er that's ahead was only 16% italian. he was 34%

democratic elections. undermined their legitimacy, and in reaction people criminalized political differences and others fought back with fire against fire, and eventually little city state was reduced to nothing. and you can see how much of our liberal left today are following pattens which have brought destruction on previous countries and civilization. so let me finish with a plea to you. a personal plea. as i've said i'm not american. i love my american wife, and i have a son who is half and half. [laughter] british -- and an american passport, so i love this country deeply. but my concern isn't just for as it were for freedom today for you. yes, but your experiment, is of titanic significance in history. this is the longest running public tutorial of freedom in all human history. countries and civilizations rise and prosper through the inpgenuity of their freedom. and at the same time countries and civilizations decline and fall through the puversion and corruption of their freedom. and america's facing this question will it restore the realism and the balance of the original freedom understanding the flo

to cases in which there is an evident breach of democratic order as we saw happen in venezuela in the wake of an electoral process that lacked legitimacy that took place in may of two thousand and eighteen spurred by that same reason colombia together with other democratic states in the hemisphere. and acting within the framework of the lima group is guided by the political decision i'm going to waive in commitment of the government presided over by dr even who came up guys. the political decision of firm commitment is of supporting and fostering conditions that would allow our brother people in venezuela to once again enjoy democracy and peace and they did to dictatorship in venezuela has emerged as a threat to peace security and stability in the region as well as being an affront to international law and in particular to into american nor and to control merican rights colombia as a country that neighbors venezuela the shares a border with countries all too well aware of its to of and is directly suffering the consequences of this threat posed by what's happening then as well and the tyranny in that country the forces of tyranny have

you know across latin america as though that were some measure of legitimacy when that's not how you measure the didn't see the democratic world david. well. all that to explain a little bit more the. things the opposition warned the mayor to the national assembly. a lot of congressmen right now are in exile because i have been persecuted thirty millions were removed after we won our elections and six of them have went to jail i am one of those thirty million years also a consumer and was killed for four months ago after he was detained because he participated on the general assembly of the u.n. and as we speak more than four hundred political or more for four hundred political prisoners in venezuela so we are facing a regime that is. a human rights violator it's a regina he's clearly involved in drug trafficking illegal mining the has become not only a threat to venezuela the threat to the region i have to say that is the responsible of three point three millions of venezuelans migrants and refugees that have left the country because of shortages of food shortages of medicine a hyperinflation of one or more than one mil

with two countries two continents and a crisis of legitimacy their leaders have in common i'm talking about been its weight in south america and the democratic republic of congo in africa first up tonight the d r c and claims of fraud at the ballot box early this morning the electoral commission announced the results of last month's presidential election after weeks of delays the unexpected news came that opposition leader felix just a kiddie had received the most votes immediately the runner up martin they called the results a sham and the catholic church says that the ballot tally does not match that of its own forty thousand election observers. reactions were mixed after felix a katie was announced the winner from jubilation was. to consternation people certainly made their feelings known. the opposition leader wasn't expected to win the presidential vote in the democratic republic of congo but he edged out his main rival putting the country on course for its first democratic transfer of power in almost sixty years since independence. i know many of you will find it hard to accept. but i say it with sincerity i pay homage to president jos

trump has been on the ballot again, and what he' done this week is give legitimacy to pollsters putting him in the polls against democraticdidates in 2020. he runs consistently better than donald trump against hypothetical democrathc nominees, is trouble for donald trump. >> woodruff: watch this space. mark shields, david brooks, thank you. >> woodruff: now: taking it to the streets. jeffrey brown visits a violinist and macarthur genius award winner who's creating a new musical life to help others. >> brown: 31-year-old violinist vijay gupta, rehearsing onstagen at walt concert hall as a member of the los angeles philharmonic. world-class orchestra. top-level musician. but not far away, gupta also makes a life as a musician here, an area that many in h usual audience rarely if ever see: los angeles' skid row. a downtown neighborhood, home to thousands of the homeless, the battered, the struggling, living in shelters or on the streets, e often ignored,n forgotten. >> the fact that skid row is two miles away from isney concert hall is not, in my mind, a matter of two different worlds, but a master-class in the way structura

venezuela's national assembly is that country's only valid democratically elected body and neither maduro or his supreme tribethune am of justice have no legitimacyountries in the region and venezuela's national assembly all stated his election last year was fraudulent and imlegitimate. venezuela has fallen to the brinks of collapse. his powers and corruption has crippled venezuela economically and humantarily and has led to several million people fleeing to several countries. maduro ordered a quote total and absolute revision of venezuela's relationship with the united states. >>> all right, let's switch gears here and get a look at that time weather with bill kierans. >> soaking rains from houston up to arkansas and the memphis area. a little snow on the back side of this, southern wisconsin, northern illinois. so it's a rainy morning, all through the ohio valley, now pushing up towards indianapolis. eventually, tomorrow morning, it will be overtop the east coast. not a time. this is the area to do the shoveling towards milwaukee, sheboygan and northern portions of michigan. as this rain moves into that cold air mass in the east, we will get a

legitimacy of nato. in july of 2016, when he called on russia to release hack democratic e-mails. rudy giuliani tried to clean up his comments regarding trump discussions on trump tower moscow telling nbc news my recent statements were hypothetical and not based on conversations i had with the president. my comments did not represent the actual timing or circumstances of any such discussions. giuliani isn't alone when it comes to giving new and different accounts of trump's dealings with russia. trump's own explanations have shifted, starting with his comments during the campaign. i have nothing to do with russia. and for anything. what do i have to do with russia? >> we could make deals in russia very easily. i just don't want to because i think it would be a conflict. >> it was a well-known project. it was during the early part of '16 and i guess before that. it lasted a short period of time. i didn't do the project. i decided not to do the project. i was focussed on running for president. there would be nothing wrong if i did do it. there is a good chance i wouldn't have won, i

trump is the victim of deep state, is there any legitimacy, of course some things that he's complaining about are legitimate complaints if you're a democrat look for example, look at bob's recollection in this book, a letter that would've terminated the trade agreement with south korea at trump's desk. there was nothing to suggest that what trump was doing was illegal . to the contrary, this was a policy that trump had promised he would pursue a man which he was elected. is an elected official of the american people and nobody elected gary cohn. nobody elected gary cohn. this is an example of what some people have referred to as bureaucratic checking which is totally alien to our constitutional system and in fact -- back let me just jump in really quick because i think, in fact, this is the move an article you wrote for harpers in june the 20 17th trump versus the deep state. raised some extremely interesting points in this piece i will just quote one particular section. the family tried to broccoli with writing a check on the president, congress at the court would represent an entirely new form of government. system in which institutiona

legitimacy. so the revolution starts to break out. it is clear who will take control. there are all kinds of factions. there is a communist faction, a democratic faction, a parliamentary republic faction, and infection that wants it the accuracy. it is not clear who is going to win. so they are all trying to find tools for legitimacy. when ayatollah returns from his exile in france to come back to iran, he is treated i think broadly as a kind of liberatory figure. it is not clear he will become the leader of the country. i think that he wanted to be the leader of the country, and there are people who were cheering that on. so, by the summer of 1979, his faction, the more islamist faction, it is gaining power and prominent. but young people in particular were trying to figure out what kind of government do they want to live within and who do they want as their leader. how do they stand up for ian autonomous iran. and you start to see a decision by some to unify the country. they hoped, by creating an external enemy, by unifying the iranian people who are factionalized at this time, around one big enemy. we in the united states really almost non

so there is some legitimacy in going to get and take back what was taken from her. having said that, democratsi think, are looking now for a new face. they're looking for someone like a kamala harris or a number of other people still getting in the race. and/or elizabeth warren, you can take your pick. but the point is, hillary has suffered lasting damage from that race. the last survey that i've seen -- it was four months ago, a gallup survey that had her overall abilities at 35, 36%. that is not a good foundation from which to run, especially given her background qualifications and how big a figure she is. >> i want to ask about the former ceo of starbucks, howard schultz. >> yes. >> he actually just had a tweet moments ago in which he writes, i love our country, and i am seriously considering running for president as a centrist independent. democrats are expressing concern about his run. i want you to listen to one of the democratic contenders, julian castro, this morning. >> i have a concern that if he did run, that essentially it would provide donald trump with his best hope of getting re

legitimacy of n.a.t.o. and talking about easing sanctions on russia and calling upon russia to release e-mails from the democratic. now giuliani has put his client kind of in the cross hairs here going straight to the heart of the investigation of collusion. giuliani also suggested to our jame tapper yesterday that it is possible that donald trump was speaking to michael cohen right up until the congressional testimony. let's take a listen to what he said. >> as far as i know, president trump did not have discussions with him, certainly had no discussions with him in which he told him or counseled him to lie. if he had any discussions with him, they would be about the version of the events that michael cohen gave them which they all believe was true. >> you just acknowledged that it is possible that president trump talked to michael cohen about his testimony -- >> which would be perfectly normal. >> so it is possible that that happened, that president trump talked to michael cohen. >> i don't know if it happened or didn't happen. it might be attorney, client privilege. >> you just said you talked to him about his

legitimacy to the government i mean this is you know this is this is. washington claims to speak of democracy yet you know actively attempted to sabotage your democratic candidates electoral campaign. english football club chelsea is facing charges following an investigation into anti semitic chants by its fans to come out to hungary last month my colleague under from the movie tells from our correspondent alexia risk. just go through them what do these charges exactly relate to you what have chelsea fans done wrong well last month we reported here in the same studio about a huge racism scandal in england where part of the chelsea fans abused during a game in london something which exploded a media bomb in england and just four days later a part of chelsea fans went to the game in budapest against a local side in the europa league and they were heard chanting and to semitic chance in the in the stands supposedly related to their north london rivals of tottenham hotspur but they chose a very wrong place to do that. obviously very sensitive about and to semitic issues now they're facing the club is facing the investigation and possible partial stadium ban as you w

to read the coverage of it and read some of the things some democrats have said about it, the memo undermined the legitimacyhe legitimacy of one aspect of mueller's obstruction investigation and he happens to have been right about it. was he's basically saying is that the president can't be cited for obstruction for lawful exercises of his prerogatives like firing subordinate executive officials. but barr is careful to say in the memo that the president can be cited for obstruction. he talks about the nixon and clinton precedents in that regard and he doesn't question the legitimacy of mueller's investigation at all. in fact, he said that it's important that that investigation continue and be wrapped up to a conclusion. maria: that's right. the wall street journal is reporting barr plans to tell the senators during his hearing that it is vitale important that mueller be allowed to complete the russia investigation according to the prepared remarks. the journal has prepared remarks. it just seems to me that this mueller investigation has been set up so perfectly and neatly by jim comey that you can't questio

legitimacy to his charge? of course, some things he is complaining about our legitimate complaints, if you are a democrat with the small d. for example, bob woodward's recollection in his book of cohen, one of trumps financial advisors, removing from the trump desk, a letter that would have terminated the trade agreement with south korea. there was nothing, nothing to suggest what trump was doing was illegal. to the contrary, this was a policy that trump had polished promised he would pursue and on which he was elected. he is an elected official of the american people and nobody elected gary cohen. this is an example of what simple some people refer to as bureaucratic checking, which is totally alien to our constitutional system. >> in fact, let me jump in real quick, i think this is the theme of an article you wrote for harpers in june 2017, trump versus the deep state. you raised some extremely interesting points in this piece. i will quote this one particular section, to formally charge a bureaucracy with providing a check on the president, congress and the courts would represent an entirely new form of go

legitimacy of his presidency. in a "new york times" op-ed, he calls for unity and writes to end the maduro regime we need the support of pro democraticovernments, institutions and individuals the world over. president trump has recognized guaido as venezuela's leader. his new representative tells guaido will work to set up a transitional government. cnn's nick paton walsh has more from neighboring combi local bc. >> reporter: the protests wednesday knots a big as we've seen, but they had a lot of enter nainternational backing. donald trump expressed his support before people came out on the streets as i say in not as big of numbers. but there is a lot of international support for the opposition movement saying they don't recognize madunicolas mad anymore as president, but that recognition and potentially the money that the u.s. says it has enabled the opposition leaders to get their hands on, a lot of that frozen sanctioned bank accounts in the u.s., how do they get that into the country, translate the lofty promises of help to the venezuelan people into actual aid. nicolas maduro is still running the country. he was pictured walking

legitimacy and the viability and my entitlement to run. so that was very painful. it wasn't that people didn't support me. it was that people that i toiled in the democratic trenches with, people that i slept on the floor the campaign headquarters with, who all of a sudden decided the totality of my contribution and the whole basis of my campaign was about my race and my gender. so what does the parties need to do? walk it like we talked it. that's what we need to do. [applause] >> walk it like we talk it. that is across the board in every way. several days ago i had the honor of addressing many of the leaders and donors of the democratic national committee, many of the dnc members in washington at the invitation of chairman perez. and it was a tough conversation that i initiated, i suspect, but it was a family meeting and i felt like it was important to have a tough conversation. these were some of the issues that i lifted up, because when we were shellacked in 2016, do you know how many postmortem meetings and briefings we had about why did that happen? and so now we are in bolton come into a house with a democratic majority but we haven't taken invento
