this is the oval office. you've seen most of the conversations take place in the oval office and the eob and the telephone. the cabinet room, there are a number of tapes, but the quality is so bad, they're barely discernible. that's just kind of the gray part are those that were not released yet by the time i had started on the project that resulted in finding a thousand conversations, 600 of which had never been previously released. so how was this system uncovered? how did we learn about this system? i think that it really starts right here. >> do i not in fact know if such a tape exist but if it does exist and has not been tampered with and is a complete transcript of what took place in the president's office, i think the committee should have this tape because i believe it will corroborate many things. mr. chairman, this concludes my lengthy statement. i apologize again for its length but i sought to comply with the committee's request to provide the committee with my broad overview of knowledge in this m

it was a cruel day for england at the oval... day from india's bowlers, taking 10 wickets — saw the visitors win the fourth test by 157 runs and go 2—1 up in the series. england resumed on 77 without loss, and faced with a target of 368 for victory. they lost two wickets in the morning session — rory burns reached 50 but was out next ball. his fellow opener haseeb hameed made 63, but when he fell after lunch — that sparked a mini collapse, which really rocked england. their confidence perhaps falling as they lost 4 wickets forjust 6 runs. ollie pope and johnny bairstow fell to jasprit bumrah. joe root briefly stopped the rot, but no mammoth scores from him this time. once he was removed india mopped up the tail, james anderson the last to go. england all out, then, for 210, and india have the momentum again, ahead of the final test at old trafford on friday. first time that we've not managed to get something from the game. i think we've played some good stuff throughout the last five days and the position we got ourselves into co

pejara cutting loose, india's confidence was rebuilding through every part of the oval. here comes rohit sharma. a 360 degrees 365 day batsman, to excel in any occasion. 100 for him in a test match away from home. now he had done everything. rohit sharma could hit the ball anywhere, so why on 127 did he do this? he didn't really know. neither did england. just aware that somehow they got him out. the ball was new, ollie robinson was revived. england thought perjara had hit theirs. that sound waves on review showed it had gone for 61. in september of this series everything is still to be decided. before bad light, india's captain stretched the lead to a point which already may be match—winning. joe wilson, bbc news. england's women have got off to a shaky start in their second t20 international against new zealand in hove. scotland are underway in their world cup qualifier against moldova at hampden park. steve clarke says his side are approaching a "must—win" moment in their campaign, with the team languishing fourth in group f after wednesday's 2—0 defeat in denmark. ra

comes on january fourth where vice president pence and his lawyer and his advisers come in to the oval office. president trump is there with john eastman this conservative lawyer, and for the first time we published this memo that is got a lot of attention, a six part memo from john eastman outlining how mike pence get to what electors and give the election to trump. and you see in the scene president trump saying to try to listen to john eastman. listen to john. listen to john. and eastman has this memo think it's constitutional and legal for pence to essentially walk up on january 6th and then walk away. so this is president trump having a pressure campaign of his own vice president and using the legal conservative community and his allies there, the political committee, allies on the outside like judy only -- rudy giuliani and steve bannon, all listings are happening behind the scenes and that's what matters in the reporting as much or probably more than just president trump sitting there on january 6th watching tv. >> that's faceting. let's talk for a minute about vice president pe

the book is filled with trump lashing out and having temper tantrums in the oval office. advisers and cabinet officials in the book describe scenes that they say are like out of movies, full-metal jacket, "dr. strange" love. there are two quotes i want to read you, cia director gina haspel says of trump that he is, quote, like a 6 year old with a tantrum. secretary of state mike pompeo says he is in a very dark place right now, and there's a showdown between then-attorney general bill barr and president trump, and he sort of confronts trump about his chances of getting re-elected and he says to trump, they just think you're an -- you can read on the screen what he says. but -- >> we got it, yeah. >> -- the number of shouting matches, the -- word is used in this book more than i would say every quin ton tarantino movie, "the big lebowski" and another combined, it really shows how milley came to the point he was at because of just explosion after explosion. >> jamie, it is fascinating. obviously it is not just the expletives that got all of these officials' attention. >> ye

it's the last day of the fourth test match between england and india at the oval.n. look into my eyes. we've got this. just ten wickets to take and the whole day. thus was india's perspective. england saw it differently — a long march towards 368, not steps, but runs. four there for rory burns. experience told you england's task was mountainous. who needs experience when you can make your own optimism? there's burns again. he'll deal with that on his way to a 50. it was just a question of concentration, until... a delivery he couldn't help but edge to the wicketkeeper. england had 100 runs, but india had their first success. we're off! a match can last five days and fortunes will switch in a second, that's the beauty of it. hasseb hameed lost composure, gave mohammed siraj a catch. what? oh, my goodness, he's dropped it. so many reactions, but let's see the batsman's. well, everyone needs a bit of luck. but this misfortune seemed self—inflicted. a risky run. dawid malan reacting, sprinting, stretching, but not there. run out. 131—2 at lunch, after a morning that st

jasprit bumrah was unplayable, and the oval danced. how many now?, there's stilljoe root, there's still a chance to stop india taking those wickets. there's england's captain gone for 36. some strokes make the whole picture. india knew it was their match now. it ended with a faint touch from jimmy anderson's bat. 210, all out. india, are 2—1 up in the series and yes, the third is yet to come, a final test, this week. joe wilson, bbc news. time for a look at the weather, here's tomasz schafernaker. something of a mini heat wave. why not? temperatures will be rising over_ not? temperatures will be rising over the — not? temperatures will be rising over the next couple of days or so. today— over the next couple of days or so. today we _ over the next couple of days or so. today we got up to almost 29 degrees, _ today we got up to almost 29 degrees, so summer heat return, that is the _ degrees, so summer heat return, that is the headline, the hot air is coming — is the headline, the hot air is coming in _ is the headline, the hot air is coming in from t

ringing in the days play now the sound of the oval test.derson opening the england bowling has become another. but for all the familiarity this is a series of fluctuating fortunes. no more so than for chris woakes. a year out of test cricket here, announcing his return. when anderson dismissed before lunch india was struggling. kohli made it to 50 but having been dropped once england would let him go again. but such is the series now wildly unpredictable india like england are as beatable as they can be brilliant. in a display of batting belligerence he gave them something to cling onto. even if others let it slip too quickly. india all out forjust 191. the day seemingly belonging to england. all their batsmen had to do was see it out. instead they began getting themselves out. first rory burns then hamid. the good work beginning to unravel. amidst the turmoil captainjoe root this summer has remained a constant. now it ranked the world. his wicked when it fell greeted with do delightful england 53-3. just about on top but nothing here is ce

john easman pressuring vice president pence in the oval office. january 5th, steve bannon, rudy giuliani and others at the willard hotel. danka vino was with president trump late into the night in the oval office talking about how to pressure lawmakers. the reason they sighted this book is they realize there are people who know a lot about what president trump was doing at the time. and that story still has to be told in a bigger way. yamiche: what did your report what reveal about who president trump is at his core? and the role of him being encouraged by people around him but also the grip that he has on the republican party. bob: well, he is and costa has the endurance to actually listen -- listen to the current trump rallies. they are amazing. there's a lot of nonsense about the stolen election. but then, he gets on and he starts talking like winston churchhill, we're not going to give up. we're going to keep going. it's to the trump supporters. it's passionate. it's very emotional. and it brings them into the process of, you know, you are my

now, earlier in the day, joe biden did meet with the indian prime minister in the oval office. he called his relationship with joe biden transformative, and we should point out, it's pretty significant that no ridge remote is even here at all. given the fact that at one time he was banned from travelling to the united states because of the massacre of many muslims in his country. so he is now not only in the united states, but made it to the oval office, now seated as part of a very important security group, as we've been discussing, called the quad. and the white house is there, a number of things that will be announced as a result of this meeting with respect to china, they are going to talk about how they can boost marine security awareness. there is a growing concerned about illegal officially fishing in the waters around that region, as well as assertiveness in the waters around that region in the, in the pacific region. and as well, they're going to be talking about rolling out a 5 g partnership. but they are also going to discuss one of the other major issues, and it's n

that was the british prime minister boris johnson taking questions from reporters yesterday in the ovalt biden not so much. he simply ignored them as he walked out. we've seen that so many times. press secretary jen psaki points the finger at the leader of one of america's closest allies for the president's refusal to answer the questions he was being asked. >> did your understanding of what transpired in the oval office yesterday. >> i think in that circumstance and i think our relationship with the united kingdom and prime minister johnson is so strong and abiding we will be able to move forward beyond this. he called on individuals from his press corps without alerting us to that intention in advance. >> harris: kathy smedly is executive director of america rising pack and richard good steyn is an advisor to will and hillary clinton. when you see our president continuing to dodge questions and the finger being pointed at the guest, the prime minister of the u.k. >> you see the biden team made a decision between having to make an excuse for the president's incompetence or throw our cl

pence one-on-one in the oval office said wouldn't it be cool if they said you had the power to decertify the election. wouldn't it be great, mike? it's what you were saying. this whole system came this close to being thrown to the house of representatives where republicans could have maybe pushed it towards trump because they had the control of the number of delegations in the house. this was a human story as much as it was a political crisis. people making decisions in the moment, sometimes based on a variety of motivations. >> it is still a human story, right? it's still a human story. mike pence ultimately, after being insurrection curious, as it were, saying he wanted to give trump there, found out he couldn't. i find that interesting in itself. but he didn't do it and the election held there. what's going on now in lindsey graham, man, is he an interesting character >> you could write a whole book about graham. he is really a shakespearean character. he is ambivalent about trump. at one point as the book reports, in a call to trump he says, mr. president, you f-ed up your presidency

this is in the oval office. the night of january 5th th. so just the day before the insurrection, a day before the certification of the election, and as the conversation between trump and then vice president pence. what are you learning about this conversation? >> we've known this meeting happened, but woodward and costa have new details, quotes from the two of them. trump is trying to pressure pence to overturn the election on january 6th. what woodward and costa reveal is outside the white house, the maga supporters, trump supporters, are outside. they're cheering. they're yelling on bull horns, and the two men can hear that in the oval office. and trump gestures to his supporters out the window, and he says to pence, if these people said you had the power to overturn the election, wouldn't you want to do that? and pence replies no, i don't have the authority to do it. and then there is this exchange in the book. trump, but wouldn't it almost be cool to have that power? pence, no. i've done everything i could and then some to find a way a

>> a bit of a stunner in the oval office.tainly something i've never seen and i've covered four different white house administrations. usually when the president and another head of state welcome a journal endafed the oval, both sides allow a couple of questions from their countrymen. today, british prime minister boris johnson gave his side a couple of questions but when it was time for u.s. journalists to ask questions of our president, this is what his handlers did. >> mr. president, what's your reaction to the images from the southern border? >> they have got it under control. >> we'll get it under control. >> so he says they will get it under control. a lot of people wondering what does that mean? by the way, getting back to that oval office exchange cbs actually filed a formal complaint -- complaining about a lack of access. when they don't give you a lot of information it's perceived as a wanton disregard for the press which not only flies in the face of how they said they would operate when they got to the white house

bret: on that, i was look at the pool report about the british prime minister boris johnson in the ovalffice recognizing two british reporters for questions and then it says president biden signaled it was time for the press to leave without taking any questions from his own press corps. >> and it's very unusual for a foreign leader who is being hosted in the oval office to just essentially start calling on reporters and kind of taking over the meeting but it would be normal if they were having the traditional 2 and 2 press conference which most foreign allies, especially close friends like the u.k. are given. it's where the two leaders stand there, reporters are invited in, there are microphones and they call on two reporters from each side. for whatever reason the white house didn't want to have that seems like boris johnson might have thought to himself let's try to get our two in. >> bret: the prime minister got his two. peter doocy live on the north lawn. peter, thanks. a justice department led panel is looking into whether zoom's china tie could say make its acquisition of a u.s.

you have a january 5th meeting in the oval office, dan scavino is in there, and then you have bannon talking with the president on january 5th. so it's not just these two senators who are talking with the president. it's the president actively trying to get pence to throw out the electors on january 6th, to get scavino in one scene of our book to help him to pressure lawmakers to coordinate with him on january 6th and do some kind of move to des-certify biden. the january 6th commission wants to know what was happening january 2nd through 5th as well as on january 6 skand that's wh the committee has cited our book in the subpoena documents. bannon was talking to trump in january, in december, scavino was there work, on the tweets. this was a massive operation on the trump side. >> how much pressure was the former president, then president, actually putting on his aides and others to try to launch this kind of coup? >> it was absolute. the investment, i mean, what the reporting shows and costa has exact quotes, the interesting pressure was trump to pence. >> that was the moment. it co

as he said in the oval office, i've never been a progressive. this is about seizing what is a once-in-a-generation opportunity, like those who built the canals and the railroads, like those who built the incredible eisenhower highway act. if we miss this opportunity, every dollar we shrink it is a dollar not invested in our future which is unfortunate. so how this plays out, yeah, this is washington. i'm sure there's going to be some kind of compromise, but to me, the compromise, repairing our electrical grid or to compromise ending degree the only nation on the planet oevgt industrial nations that doesn't have paid family leave has its costs and is going to make america lose the boldness of the possibility of jumping forward as a nation. >> is there a sense here, though, that maybe -- there's an old say our parents used to say, your eyes are bigger than your stomach. were the political eyes bigger than the political reality? meaning you can only do as much as the 50th senator? >> that's 100% true. a lot of times we're losing sight of what we've
