prime minister abe: no. between japan and the united states i believe economic cooperation can be developed and expanded. win-win relationship. -- we will be able to build a win-win relationship. i am convinced of this. between president trump and i, myself, before the inauguration, that is last year and after the inauguration on the 10th of february, we have had a summit meeting. and on those occasions i have explained to him on the current status of japan-u.s. trade. on the automotive industry for there is a criticism in the past there was a sort called u.s.-japan trade friction but right now japanese companies have built factories in the united states and that have ensured many jobs in the united states and contributing wealth to the u.s. economy. and further, and with the currency fluctuation, we have never made to expand ourselves by selling cheaply. between japan and the united is looking at the economic relationship, it has evolved hugely, and i have explained to president trump and i believe he under

in a blacksmith's shop in the 1830s, witnesses recall abe etching his initials into an iron wedge.n. those initials look very similar to the "a-l" on andrea and keith's wood mallet. that these letters are inlaid is another key to steve and tom's authentication. >> not just anybody could do inlay work. one of the questions you have to ask yourself, did abraham lincoln have the ability to inlay the metal into the mallet? >> if no, that's a problem. if yes, it's another reason to believe the tool was lincoln's. the guys find their answer in an example of abe's carpentry work, a cabinet door usually on display at a nearby museum. >> abraham lincoln inlaid the letters "e-c" because this cabinet was built for elizabeth crawford, a neighbor of the lincoln's. >> steve tells me both sets of initials are consistent with the meticulous technique abe used to inlay the letters. >> it was a skill that was learned from his father, who was a highly skilled cabinetmaker. we can trace this mallet from the current owners back to abraham lincoln. >> you have any doubt in your mind? >> no, i don't, and

[laughter] pm abe: [translated] of course, there is a strategic meaning. it could have been strategic. but meanwhile, before entering the japan sea, the self-defense forces engaged in joint exercise and there was movement northward that was the significance. and throughout that, whatever had to be done had to be urged to north korea, or we had to urge china so they would play their role. i believe and i imagine, i presume, that that was a strategic way of thinking. but in this way, there is a thorough demonstration of attitude that all the options are on the table. that viewpoint has been demonstrated both in words and deeds. we highly appreciate this attitude. in addition to that, in the south and the east china seas, regarding the situations occurring there, about their attitude, the u.s. commitment is unwavering. the other day, during my summit talk with president trump, during in the joint statement regarding the senkaku island, that it is subject to article 5 of our security alliance, it is now explicitly mentioned in the language with regard to relat

japan is now exercising that new law, and prime minister abe is deliberately exercising that new law,ew law, to take part ina exercising that new law, to take part in a military operation. so what is basically the strategy, rupert, behind sending the ship to protect the us navy fleet? well, it is under what is called collective self—defence. and japan wasn't allowed to exercise collective self—defence, japan's military could only defend the home islands and could only use force if japan comes directly under attack. under this new law, at the strategy of the abe administration is to say no, we're going to become a normal country, like written, like france, like any other country around the world. we are going to be able to come to the defence of our friends and our allies, and of course their biggest ally as the united states. the us. navy is currently deployed on operations in this part of the world because of the tensions over the korean peninsula, and mr abe wants the japanese military to take part in that. and that... you know, it is also not an accident they are sending their bigg

>> matt and i were talking ab this before we came on. i think sean spicer would benefit from just being funnier at the podium. he's so serious. he seems nervous. it helps reinforce this sort of he's on the edge so reporters are going after him. i don't think he does a particularly good job. i know sean. i think he's a good guy but i don't think he's a terribly effective spokes person for white house. >> melissa: matt, with the change at the top there, the communications director leaving the white house, do you think we see a change in who's at the podium? >> i have no idea. i will tell you this. i believe that the president does like a loot of these top officials he has advising him but he believes they have a job to do. i think he wants them to execute in a much higher level. he's giving them the time to try to make fixes. he did the right thing. i will just say, i think sean's a likable and funny guy. he's got a great personality. i think he's in a tough job. he's just got to find a way to deal in this era of an investigation going on.

. >> you spoke ab this being a bipartisan bill because it needs to be. the president also is floating the idea of doing away with the legislative filibuster. is that a good idea? is that what you need? >> clearly you don't need it because we did this. the question is would it be easier? would the results be even better? would there be less sort of animosity? maybe. i know there has been some discussion on the hill over the course of the last couple years for limiting the filibuster when it comes to appropriations bills. keep in mind, one of the reasons we're here an we have a discussion about a shutdown is the appropriations process is broken. the way it used to work, the house passing an appropriations bill on a topic, say military construction and va. the senate passing a bill on the same thing. then going to conference committee and putting that bill on the desk for the president. i don't think that's functioned in the last decade. i have been here since 2011. >> why do you want the change now? >> we want to go back to that process. the reason we can'

within the hour president trump met is meeting right now i should say, with the japanese prime minister abe the president saying, that the topic of north korea will be the focus, of this meeting, president trump saying of north korea a while ago and i quote here, it will be solved at some point, it will be solved. the president also saying north korea is a quote big problem. the official g-7 summit kicks off within the hour here u.s. officials saying, that topics like terrorism and trade will be a major part of the discussions here however, the other world leaders at this event are also likely to push the president, on the issue of climate change specifically the paris climate agreement, the white house has said the president will make an fumble decision on whether to stay in that agreement, whether to try to change it or potentially withdraw from it altogether, at the end of the g-7 meetings here which end tomorrow. coming up in heels of g-7 meeting president was in brussels yesterday at nato headquarters, there with dozens of nato member leaders, and the president pushed those leaders to

ab, here we have notes taken inside the oval office.hey said an american official -- a current official -- sitting on the phone and reading those quotes from this official document, chronicling this meeting to a times reporter. that doesn't bother you? >> i feel... i feel accused, james. >> james: that was a tendentious -- should we not be bothered by the leaking? a dress if would sean spicer's comments. >> the leaks were a problem for president obama. as you well know, they're going to be -- i think they are really facing a great fear of the leaks because at the rate of which they seem to come now. it's going to cause them great stress. it's obviously a huge part of this story. much of this is not legal. the people are doing it because they believe the president is doing something wrong. and the potency of these reports and these accounts are going to cause him great political peril. even if in the end, from a "washington post" story, the interest is not a target. they will not be charged with anything criminal or anything. it creates

ab reporter: texas governor greg e bott tweeted after his legislative victory, saying,

he talked ab the arcaic rules of the state. there's been some discussion about being able to push through regular legislation with 51 votes. they have to do that one this way because they've got to get budget reconciliation on this to put it through with a simple majority on the senate side. so you're going to see a lot of re-engineering to make sure the long term economic on the budget isn't such that they cannot pass it through a reconciliation. it's fascinating to watch. there's been so much criticism for republicans and rightfully so, that they didn't get anything major done in the first 100 days. i stopped counting. we're at day 106 or something like that. it looks like they're gonna get halfway through. >> sandra: the $8 billion added for preexisting conditions, that was one of the big criticisms, big concerns coming from many republicans. is that the game changer here? is that how they got some nos to yeses? >> they had to be able to go home for the break and say, look, we went a long way towards maintaining some of thos

so does it mean that prime minister shinzo abe's massive stimulus programme has finally done the trickt, japan, credit suisse. thank you for being on the programme. good afternoon, injapan! give us your take on these numbers and what you think about how the japanese economy is faring? first of all, it is true that the economy is doing quite well. if you look at the gdp numbers, it is. there are two risks. 0ne gdp numbers, it is. there are two risks. one is the global outlook, the us situation is getting messy. number two, we tend to think that any fiscal stimulus, it cannot be sustained. projects are not necessarily about doing well in stimulating the economy. so we think those are the two risks. despite the fa ct those are the two risks. despite the fact that the economy seems to be heading in the right direction, there still seems to be concerned about the japanese economy. what needs to be done now?|j about the japanese economy. what needs to be done now? i think that the country has done a massive... they have done a monetary easing. we have experienced or implemented a large numbe

administration and with the abe administration in japan.ple are feeling rather good about this outcome. it is not a surprise, but the turnout is historic. they have had ten years of conservative regime in south korea and it is time for a thawing in relations, so there is a lot for him to get involved in. and he is also a veteran in politics, he isa human he is also a veteran in politics, he is a human rights lawyer in his background. i think he is well prepared. indeed, well-prepared, and eve ryo ne prepared. indeed, well-prepared, and everyone looking forward to his president xi. i am sure the chinese as well. they are against the anti—missile defence system. they wa nt anti—missile defence system. they want negotiations rather than tough talk between the south and the north. that is right. -- looking forward to his presidency. working with china, this is a different dynamic than we see with us and japan taking the lead. as one who is sitting here in tokyo, i think it is —iam sitting here in tokyo, i think it is — i am optimistic about thi

sara said the president was thinking ab firing him back then. but really when you look at the hierarchy of how things work at the tkdepartment of justice, it would have to be rod rosenstein who was the one who fire him. he is comey's direct superior. he is the one comey reports to. you can probably paint a scenario here that the president has wanted to get rid of comey for a long time, but kwrord to have the political cover to do it properly, had to wait until he had in place a confirmed deputy attorney general and someone who was of the sort of integrity that that decision would not be questioned. we saw last night when the democrats were reacting to the firing, that charles schumer did not take on rosenstein directly because he had just said 14 days previous to that, that here was a man of integrity. you can say this is something that happened in the last two weeks, but you can also i think paint a very viable scenario that this is something that's been carefully orchestrated over the last few weeks and even months. >> melissa: that makes a lo

while abe was a p.o.w.eorge mcgovern and the crew were flying missions all over germany and austria. >> the worst mission. >> the worst mission was probably over the scota ammunition works in czechoslovakia. we lost an engine on the way into the tar get. i advanced the other three engines and stayed in formation until we got to the target and we got hit hard over the target. we lost another engine. all of a sudden all of the oil came out. of our rudder. and when that happened, it froze. >> we started back to the home base in italy. and we got about to the head of the adriatic sea. >> we lost the third engine and we were losing altitude then. pretty rapidly. >> mcgovern said let's start throwing things out of here. we threw everything that we could get our hands on out of the airplane. . fortunately the biz an island off the coast was there. i said, emergency strip. well, a very small landing area. very short in between mountains. >> as i lined up with the runway, i could see the car casses of bombers that h

we put together that proposal and submitted it to the prime minister abe. nd that the paper has been distributed for your reference. about north korea's issue, what we are really concerned about april, last month, the missiles were launched by north korea. and they actually launched it towards the sea of japan and the purpose of their launch was explained by north korea and they say that could be -- attack u.s. forces operating in japan and that was already transportable, the launcher, and among the new missiles, some of -- the test is conducted to launch it from the submarine. and that means the missile capability of north korea becomes quite high. and we never know when and from where the missiles will be launched. already, the five nuclear tests were conducted by north korea. and if you look at the examples of the countries, other countries, the nuclear tests, well, the nuclearization of the nuclear arms becomes very close to completion. therefore, that will be taken as a major threat to japan. so in order to protect from the ballistic missile, together

. >> let me ask you ab dodd frank. the president just gave an interview in which he said i am looking at that right now. he goes on to say, there's some people that want to go back to the old system. we'll look at that, potentially breaking up the banks. breaking up the banks, is that something he is just looking at or is that something that is a preference of his at this point? >> i think i mentioned in the opening, he's looking at a 21st century glass seal. he mentioned it on the campaign trail. shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. it is something that's being looked at. sara? >> you're saying you're not confident the votes are lined up behind the healthcare bill. this morning when gary cohn said the bill was ready to be brought to the floor, did gary cohn misspeak? >> no. i would never want to get in front of the speaker. that's up to them. we have a good whip count. i think we feel very good about where we are and where it's headed. but ultimately the speaker and the house leadership determine when to call a vote. i

shinzo abe has a bilateral meeting with trump this morning.hey will all be arriving, taking a photo at the greek theater, attending working sessions, lunches, a g7 dinner later tonight. >> the prime minister welcoming them there as they come through. >> one of the stories is that a lot of these leaders are attending g7 for the first time. a lot of new leaders, uk, france, u.s., italy. >> abe, merkel and the unelected eu leaders of tusk and trudeau -- i guess trudeau was there last year. a lot has changed. interesting this comes back off the back of a nato meeting. a lot of them were there, not all of them were there. similarly eu meetings in brussels. the friction we saw there between president trump and those specific nato and european leaders, does that carry through now or does it soften a bit as mr. abe, who he has a decent relati relationship with, and mr. trudeau he meets with as well. or does that fractious relationship continue? >> i think mr. trump will be more comfortable at this one. g7 is known to be more informal in terms of talks

there is always unsettling for the japanese and particularly prime minister abe who has been trying toush legislation through the japanese diet, the japanese parliament essentially. that would allow japan's self-defense forces to take more assertive actions in asia pacific and the north korean threat is a big reason for that. that's why you have you've seen japanese warships training along u.s. ships, you have seen japanese planes flying as well. and so all of this cooperation is when you hear prime minister abe talking about concrete action, that is what he is referring to along with programs continued pressure on china to impose stronger sanctions, japan could perhaps inspect north korean fishing vessels that go intoes waters near japan known as the exclusive economic zone, those same waters by the way wheres missile fell today and where three missiles fell back in march coming dangerously close to the japanese coast prompting north korean missile drills for the first time since world war ii and even nationwide alerts that at one point stopped all the trains but that was not activate

president obama warned president trump ab flynn. tell us more. >> reporter: well, he warned him. we did get that confirmed today. but i think it's fair to give context to that warning. keep in mind flynn had already been fired by president obama. flynn had been openly critical of the obama administration. so when you look at it through the context of what was happening at the time, by the way, he had already been reupped as someone who had the highest level of clearance, reupped by the obama administration. when you take all that together, you might understand why the president was just a little skeptical perhaps of the admonition of the outgoing president. >> the president never disclosed details of meetings he had. it's true the president, president obama, made it known he wasn't exactly a fan of general flynn's which shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. given general flynn had worked for president obama, was an outspoken critic of president obama's short comings. the question you have to ask yourself is if president obama was truly concerned about general flynn, why didn't

prime minister abe has shown he is behind the boj.e governor in place to have this extraordinary policy in place. what more would have to be done to get the economy growing faster? you say this is cyclical. i think people who support kuroda and abe say they are moving in the right direction. are you saying that prime minister abe is the one who has to do more structural reforms to get this off the ground? >> absolutely. it is very simple. the key reform for japan is labor reform. they have to increase -- productivity in japan was massive because it was mainly led by the manufacturing sector that has lost ground. now you need service sector productivity in japan. you need to create jobs in the right sectors. that is where the jobs are being created in japan. for that, you need massive labor reform. this is the dual labor market. you need to basically allow for the young population, for the women to get into the now protective labor markets, to increase labor productivity in japan. that is essential for japan to grow in the medium-term.

shinzo abe outlined his goal in a video address delivered at a gathering in tokyo.king back on the 1964 tokyo olympics, he said those games gave japan the confidence to achieve rapid growth and become a developed nation. he said 2020 is also significant one for the people of japan because tokyo will once again host the summer games. the prime minister add h

so he is signaling that he's willing to sit down with republicans and talk ab the future of healthcare in this country. bottom line, lot of senators are saying there's plenty of work ahead and they do not want to be rushed through some sort of timetable. >> sandra: thank you. so who are the winners and losers in this legislation? marjorie cliffton is a consultant to the obama campaign. first off, i want to get to a couple things, brian, that we just heard out of that white house press briefing. the white house saying they do expect some changes in the senate, but they expect the main pillars to remain. your response to that? maybe we don't have brian. marjorie, did you hear me? >> i guess -- i did hear you. marjorie, go ahead. >> well, i think the foundational challenges that everyone's having is related to the preexisting condition clause and then the alasctual cost. we think the republicans need three vote dissent coming into the senate, then they will not be able to carry the bill. question is how a lot of these senators who will then go into reelections be able to defend things lik

we know the president's been thinking ab this for a long time. wednesday it certainly i think expedited that, the director's testimony last wednesday. and then getting the recommendation from the attorney general, or deputy attorney general i think just further solidified the president's decision. >> just to clarify one thing. you said the president has encouraged this investigation into russia to see it reach its completion sooner rather than later. how has he encouraged it if he just fired a man overseeing the russian investigation? >> there are multiple people that are part of this. you've got the house committee, the senate committee. look, again, the point is we want this to come to its conclusion. we want to come to its conclusion with integrity. we think, by removing director comey, we've taken steps to make that happen. thank you very much, guys. >> the white house press briefing just firing up. good afternoon, everyone. thanks for being with us. i'm maria bartoromo. the president commenting saying this of director comey. >> he's a show b

you think ab what he said to nbc news.e said, one, he didn't care this action would make matters worse for him. it might even lengthen out the investigation because he would take action against jim comey an firing him. he said the investigation wanted to be done absolutely properly and might even confuse some people he would take this action knowing it would make matters worse for him. the actions that he took he knew could be detrimental to himself, but none of those things mattered because the president had to do the right thing for the american people because he believed that jim comey was the wrong man for that position. and i think that we've got to be very clear as to the reason that the president took the actions that he did. he knew that what he did could be detrimental to himself and could lengthen the investigation. but he knew it was the right thing for the country, the right thing for the fbi and the right thing to get to the bottom of this. >> why is he the wropb person for the american people? >> because he d
