david sherborne is here. former trump campaign adviser and new york times podcast host. lulu garcia-navarro, thanks for being here, guys. senator boxer, president trump in landing in california. he the greeting with gavin newsom. they shook hands. they when it came to coming to the cameras they were cordial. it was as if you would expect a president and a governor of any state to interact when they're facing disaster in the aftermath of a disaster. what do you think was going through gavin newsom's mind here after all their history? you know him well i. >> certainly do. >> and gavin newsom. >> was not. >> going to be snubbed. he was not going to be absent. he wanted to thank the president for coming. he's acting like a normal governor. i've gone through so many things earthquakes, floods, fires. i was in the senate for one year. this a long time ago. bill clinton was president and republican governor pete wilson, we were all joined at the hip. so i think what our governor is doing, he's saying to the president without so many words, this this is a moment we have to come

and we've just seen david sherborne, prince harry's barrister, arrive at court, walk through the doors have to be, but we will expect to see him because he is expected to give evidence at his trial. with me now to discuss what we can expect a bit more is our media correspondent, david sillito. and david, what's this all about? this is a fascinating trial. prince harry, in a recent interview at a new york times event, was asked, "what is this? "why are you going to this trial?" and he said, one word accountability. there have been 1300 people over the last 15 years or so who have brought claims against news group newspapers saying that they were hacked. all of those claims, bartwo, have been settled out of court. there have been 14 trials that have begun but have never reached this point so far. because each time newsgroup newspapers has made a settlement with them. and the question is, why do you accept a settlement? the reason is, if you go to trial afterwards and the compensation that is offered, maybe in the the trial, is less than you were offered before. you have to pay the legal

he'd been up all night, but the duke's barrister david sherborne was looking surprisingly fresh—facedhipper. mr sherborne, has there been a settlement? - good morning. we'll have to see. and see we did. just after 10:30am, mr sherborne stood up in court and announced the two sides had reached an agreement and read out words his client had long waited to hear.

david sherborne you get you. get the final. he went from 49.8 down to 47. so he's already losing out to two democrats. don't be scared of this guy. he's already losing altitude. >> well david, can you. can you whisper in his ear. can can you whisper in his ear. >> and tell him. >> he won? >> yeah. listen. so, michael, here's my take on this. right. so when trump was inaugurated in 2017, the washington post ran an article that day when he was getting sworn in about impeaching donald trump. for the next two years, we had russiagate. the guy didn't get to rest because of a fake made up bs story. it was investigated. you had all these things, you could do your violin. so and then and then you had four years of lawfare against the guy. no, no, paul, listen, i listen, i'm just telling you that that the man has some right to be a little po'd, right? and say, take a victory lap. and were you for me or were you against me? because so many people have been against him for the past eight years. he looks around, he looks at david, david, he remembers his friends and he

and certainly you heard there from david sherborne, his barrister, that they see this as an unequivocal victory. they feel they have got accountability and they now want the police to investigate as well. >> max, can i ask you, is there any tie at all between this settlement, this decision to put this down and the fact that donald trump has just taken office? murdoch owns fox news here in the united states, and there has been some back and forth between harry and the now president's camp around harry, harry's immigration status, living here in the united states. >> no, i mean, i've had meetings with his lawyers. that's never been a factor. and harry's not the sort of character. i don't think that would settle on those grounds, because this has, in many ways, been a point of principle for him. i think he was effectively offered a deal that he couldn't refuse. there are reports that we're talking about eight figure settlement here. his lawyers haven't denied that. and as i say, these cases are meant to be settled out of court. and he got the apology that he wanted from rupert murdoch's em

let's hear from his barrister, david sherborne today the lies are laid bare today. >> the cover ups areexposed and today proves that no one stands above the law. the time for accountability has arrived. >> so there you have it. um, john. and what they want next is a police investigation. they want this to be a criminal case. so they've gathered all sorts of evidence which wasn't actually presented to the court in the end, because it was over before it even began. but they got evidence they think showed criminality and they want convictions. >> a very interesting development, as we said, a very full and abject apology. max foster in london with the latest. thanks so much, kate. >> top secret access without top secret vetting. new details on how the trump administration is skirting the rules on security clearances now and paying for flights with venmo. the beginning of a new era. maybe the first airline to now accept payment through the popular money app. >> speak now. >> or forever hold your. >> only took for our cough liquid. unlike robitussin dm, delsym liquid offers 12 hours of cough

"today our apology to the duke of sausage includes apologies for incidents of unlawful activities carried out by private investigators working for the sun, not journalists, investigators working for the sun, notjournalists, and they say investigators working for the sun, not journalists, and they say there are strong controls and processes in place at all our titles today to ensure this cannot happen now". there was no voice mail interception on the sun. both claimants, prince harry and tom watson, will be awarded substantial damages and ngn avoid a very hig
