damian: so, they're trying, i'm sure. alex: they're trying on a daily basis. d the more we learn about the types of efforts and the more we secure against their efforts, they just continue both in frequency and sophistication. so, it takes all of us to be vigilant. i feel pretty confident on our election's infrastructurdebut ty about more is the bad information, not just but especially on social media, right? 'cause all it takes is, you know, one fake, you know, to question the integrity of the process, right?, but they should have the confidence that,unt " so, we encourage people if you have any questions, any concerns about elections, you know, don't just read anything you see online. ask your county elections department or your secretary of state's office. damian: and i always tell-- i always tell people check the source. if you're tweeting something, find out what the source is of that information you're tweeting because that can lead to a lot of damaging-- alex: right, and we've tried to simplify it this year. we have a lot of tools from register to vote,

reporter alex forrest why single alex so why board people spread disinformation about something as serious as this well i mean there's the obvious one we saw in that report to make a quick buck buck if you can make a quick sale but i think what's more concerning is how this decision from ation is being used as a political weapon to destabilize governments to destabilize authorities particularly health authorities and spread fear and panic across the world not just this week we heard from u.s. officials saying that there been an increase in russian trolls thousands of russian trolls trying to spread conspiracy theories such as it was the us who were behind this coronavirus because they want there to be to inflict economic pain on china all that it was the cia who manufactured it as a biological weapon we've even seen reports that it was the microsoft founder bill gates who is now the billionaire philanthropist who for some reason invented a manufactured this and of course of so in that report also some far right extremists who want to prove that this shows why immigration must be stopped an

works inside the white house, there is also a chair of the task force who is the health secretary, alex azar, soso there is a question of who is really in of this at the moment. president trump says it is his vice president, but some of the comments coming from donald trump himself i'm not particularly welcome as far as health experts are concerned. i give you one he hasjust given. he says" it is going to disappear one day, it's like a miracle, it will disappear from our shores, we know it could get worse before it gets better. you could maybe go away, we'll see what happens." that is not the kind of information that health experts wa nt information that health experts want going out to the american public, they are saying we can deal with this, but the people need to be aware, particularly if there is a fear of what we are seeing in california, of a community spread. thank you, chris. injapan, the government has asked all schools to close from the start of next week, to try to limit the spread of the virus. it will affect 13 million students and continue until the end of the school year in late

forced to watch the news of this story for so welcome alex so what is the case for making some of your products free but it's pretty simple it's to end so called periods of poverty to enable any woman any girl whatever whether they're rich whether they're poor to have access to suitable sanitary products now think about it for every girl or woman who is menstruating it's around 5 days a month that costs a round about for those sanitary products in the 10 euros a month times that i 12 over up to 40 years we're talking about a huge amount of money now scotland is already the 1st country in the world to offer free trip products in universities in schools in colleges and this bill would make sure that that is put into law and enable any woman in scotland who couldn't afford it to get access to those products so it gives a lot of how big this issue this period of well it is massive because of course that effects people who can't afford those products and there are some surprising statistics here take for example the united kingdom around about one in 10 schoolgirls have said that they have

they also have to content with the court case for alex salmond so with the court case for alex salmonds about the integrity and competency of the government. i think that would be nicola sturgeon's because worry. his judgement described as an abuse of power and predatory behaviour. extraordinary. he was tipped to be nicola sturgeon ‘s successor and i was before he was due to deliver the budget, this is high drama but it also comes at a time when the snp facing criticism over the handling of domestic issues said the record on nhs and education is pretty woeful and then you add the various sex scandals, this one and the upcoming trial of alex and you have a general veneer of sleaze and decadence even and that suggest the shine might be coming off the snp somewhat. apoplectic trump vent fury on borisjohnson. somewhat. apoplectic trump vent fury on boris johnson. livid somewhat. apoplectic trump vent fury on borisjohnson. livid language, it is described as. a strong briefing, they have not minced that words. livid terms, apoplectic fluid, made their disappointment clear to the uk. the pres

. >> i want to say this about you, alex. i so admire you because you're 16, and you can't even vote in this election yet. at 16, i was just hoping please, somebody ask me to the prom. what is it about politics that fascinate you? >> as i grew up, i realized that politics is going to affect me and everybody else. when i was witnessing the 2016 election, that's when i found out it matters who you vote for. >> you settled on bernie sanders. why? >> he is a candidate who has fought for the civil rights movement. as far as policies like medicare for all, getting money out of politics and ending the overseas wars. that's what i would run on if i could run. >> do you think the stakes are higher this time? >> i think they are. the last four years, so many people have been afraid of where this country is headed. and i think, you know, elizabeth warren says herself this is the fight of our lives. >> walter, we had talked before about how people view voters of color, that it's a monolithic group. when you hear that, what do you think? >> th

member of european parliament the break party i had to tell you as alex was watching that video there from the european palate your smile was so wide you were enjoying every moment of that why alex what should be today how you feel about bricks in your good you know 13 years like campaign 2 it's worked for a lot of people it's a lot longer and the fact that we had a referendum and it took 3 years to actually implement the result it came as a huge relief but what was making me smile at. he was that would mind if i prickly the e.u. are this is basically the european union of member states they carved that b. idea. it's a really bizarre thing and you know we had a lot of fun in that parliament we actually put a bit of democracy i'd like to debate it but change it for the 1st start and i think they're going to miss us so you are now coming the unemployed because you are forming any pain and she with that in brussels last week what was the mood like from the europeans perspective oh they will still carry a lot of mostly the 1000000 other things since it's a worry about that and you know i think think it was a you know it's like if

alex padilla: yes, it's good to see you damian. damian: well, we talk about how busy you are. i mean, the primaries are early this year, soou've been busy up and down the state. alex: it is full, election season has been for some time now. you know, the day that the people in iowa went to caucus, everybody was watching the news. that was the first day that people can go into their county elections office and vote early in california. plus, the 15 million vote by mail ballots that have been arriving in mailboxes, so we're in full swing. but of course, tuesday, march 3 is officially our primary election day. damian: so, because in the past, election day was the big day for people like yourself, and now you're saying it's a month before, the day of, and a month after.

alex back to you so the u.k. certainly has its work cut out for itself what now this transition period walk us through that so 11 months now for the u.k. and the e.u. to reach some kind of deal for future trade now 11 months may sound quite a long time to buy a ticket to bret's it is you want to break it to be done last year set it back back back in march and drag it on so they want it just done but 11 months actually isn't very long a toll to try to strike a deal with the we know that with canada it took years and years in many other countries as well boris johnson though i have to do his part he has to try to get a deal even though he's making it clear that he doesn't want to play brussels game anymore he doesn't want to stick to necessarily to the rules to the regulations they want to global britain they want to pay to strike their own jails they want to make britain a popular and prosperous place in the future they say if you don't stick to our rules if you don't. stick to the regulations in place then you ar

so, alex. >> all right. thank you, loren. how many of you are familiar with the federal improvement steering council? that's enough. rest assured you're not going to forget what it is after this presentation. but my name is alex herrgott. i'm the executive director of the council appoint bid the president. we have a single goal to address a single issue which is a lack of clarity of who is in charge of making decisions across up to 13, 14 federal agencies on major infrastructure projects that span service transportation beyond that over to broad band, water infrastructure, aviation, energy, and several others which you can see at permits.performance.gov. but the bottom line is this, as my colleague over at d.o.t. and the administrators will be talking about today, it's the importance of things they can do within an agency to ensure we are stewards of the public trust. as civil servants we're ensuring we're providing the best most efficient infrastructure in the country while recognizing that through the permitting process we'

so i spoke to a few hours with a real instructor. fellow yes there was little guy there he is this is alex i warned him that i'm pretty much a total beginnerso we'll have to start from scratch yeah yeah i'll explain the basics and then we're off conditions were perfect. i'm a little nervous because it's all new to me boys that's why i'm here we'll take it easy. but what is this have to do with skiing a lot we have to push down and tilt the ski with every step and we're putting our weight on it. after an hour i've learnt the basics and we start as sandy. and then downhill. skiing it's a lot of fun but you have to be very careful plus i don't think that i'm a natural. now i need to preach even though i'm at the top of the needle on mt in 2200 metres and in the middle of nature i don't have to separate fires on comfort to keep on top of the competition everything here has been renovated faster ski lifts for example and this trendy new restaurant right at the summit. of course there are other winter. it's on offer in the algo alps the site ski can snowboarding and alex is going to show me one. so this is an alternative to skiing is it more fun

back with us are abby phillips and alex burns. soe a way for everybody to say that, you know, new hampshire it was either great for them or doesn't matter? i mean, i'm thinking of amy klobuchar who is surging right now in the polls here, so that's a victory for her, and then i'm thinking of joe biden who can sort of say, well, i never planned to win new hampshire anyway. >> yeah, i think that this is a total expectations game. so if you beat expectations, if you are amy klobuchar and you do -- i mean, certainly if you do better than joe biden here, yes, they are going to be really excited about that. i think if the buttigieg campaign finishes close to bernie sanders they will be really happy about that. if bernie sanders gets the turnout that he wants, he will be really happy about that. and joe biden is just saying, none of this matters, i will see you in south carolina. so, yeah, i mean, the race is going to -- these people are all going to still be here when we go on to the next contest and everybody is going to come out of this s

alex. [cheers and applause] just so you know, alex is the guy who has been my tech support since second gradetrue. he now runs his own small business, but he has picked up a new sideline called support your mother when she runs for president of the united states. [cheers and applause] and also so you know, bruce is not the reason i dropped out of school and got married at 19. bruce came along in season two. [laughter] and i love him everyday for it. thank you. [cheers and applause] sen. warren: it is so good to be here with all of you. i just want to say a word -- i love you too. i want to say a word as we close up here, because this is such an important moment for us to be together. we have now had three years of donald trump. [crowd boos] sen. warren: but it is beyond that. people are scared. people are afraid. they are afraid for their families. they are afraid for their neighbors. they are afraid for children locked in cages down at our borders. they are afraid for children on lock down in our public schools. they are afraid for women. afraid for people of color. afraid for lgbtq people,

heather: well, we will see what happens tonight as caucuses begin in iowa, alex, jenny, thank you soor joining us, we appreciate it. >> thank you. heather: have a good day, time now is 20 minutes until the top of the hour and are democrats so desperate for another candidate that john kerry might get in the race? his message this morning about the rumors swirling around of possible presidential run and an american family trying to steer clear of the coronavirus learns that it will cost them dearly, the cruise line charging a whopping $32,000 for a canceled vacation huh, fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know pinocchio was a bad motivational speaker? i look around this room and i see nothing but untapped potential. you have potential. you have-oh boy. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. heather: welcome back, you're watching "fox & friends first", john kerry blasting report claims he's considering late-run for president, overheard him on the phone of bid in hotel lobby

so. was in was an extension of that foreign policy exactly and you know it as alex said here it is so when for tint it is so very important that you can't discuss it it's stats that it's that important you know but i would argue though that the dearth there are some differences in terms of the foreign policy that it can often seem the same but like . before trump i think both the left and the right to a committed to very much share liberal hedge of money which suggests you know we organize the world or reinvent a world in the america's image which then culminated in all this regime change wars and nation building and this proved to be very expensive and it drained a lot in failure if failure of course so it's failing and it's draining all this resources from the core so trump is he's not going for a liberal had the money is going more for him liberal hedge of money but it's still it's slightly slightly different but if you're on the receiving of the hedge your money does it make any difference nobody is seeking more of a return on investment so. so it's not trying to pull away from hedge m

gordon sondland was a political appointee so the president could fire him for any reason. alexn and his brother go back to the pentagon, it's not like they lost their military service, just their national security jobs. but a number of other witnesses left on their own. bill taylor has come back from ukraine. marie yovanovitch retired. so you're already seeing these witnesses move on, most of them quietly. some are still in their positions we'll see what happens. >> given your reporting on this, tell me when you were made aware that these firings were potentially going to be happening and was there any pushback from anybody around the president on this? >> it's really interesting, we were talking about the white house's reaction to all of this, i think we need to remember the white house consists of two separate factions. one of them is the political apparatus, which is the people actually around the president. all those people, as peter mentioned, are in a mood of venn venan vengeance so they've been working at it for a long time. but the people on the national security counci

alex. his wife, elise. just so you know who alex is, he has been my tech support since second grade. he runs his own small business now but he picked up a second line and that is support your mother when she runs for president of the united states. [applause] >> and he is doing that by being the advanced man. we've got it. we got a question? are we ready? high. tell me your name. high, amy. >> this question is about gerrymandering and the fact that in two elections in the last 20 is the winner has not won the popular vote. what can we do to get out the vote? the results are decided by electoral districts and decided bipartisan bodies. what should be done about that? what will you be able to do? >> i want to do two things. the first one, let's do this at the federal level, it is time to get rid of the electoral college. we need direct vote. [applause] >> i want to be the last president elected by the electoral college and the first elected by direct vote. can we do that? that is what i would like to see. but it is not just at the federal level. think about how gerrymandering undercuts

so first let's talk about elizabeth warren. where do things stand with her? >> reporter: alex, for both of these candidates, clearly they both want to win here in new hampshire. but the stakes are so different for each of them. we'll start with senator elizabeth warren who in the aftermath of iowa, in talking to sources of mine in her campaign, the idea is a protracted primary. they planned several weeks ago in a memo her campaign manager put out that this was going to be a long haul kind of strategy for them. they needed to make their way down the calendar and be able to stay alive and play in as many of these states as they possibly can, basically saying, yeah, the early four states are important but the rest of the calendar matters too. warren herself spoke to that strategy this morning on one of the morning shows. i want you to hear what she said. >> you know, look, the way i see this, it's going to be a long campaign. i've been to 31 states to do town halls, red states and blue states. we had a thousand people on the ground. we've built a campaign to go the distance. and

so to make that debate stage? >> look, i took the rules the dnc gave us and it forced me to go out and talk to thousands and thousands of people, and i love that, alexss roots organizer, who's been organizing for over seven years, full time going out and talking to americans every single day, that's something i love. so i did have to meet the rules, which is fine with me, all it meant i had to do was go out and appeal directly to americans. i think that's a process that every democratic candidate should have to do and i think we should make it open to a more diverse group. this is really a question, not just of changing the rules for mr. bloomberg is they refuse to change the rules to get a more diverse group on the stage and it's wrong. >> do you think that candidates like cory booker and julian castro had more right to be on the debate stage than mike bloomberg? >> what i think, alex, is they should have changed the rules to make it available to more people and a more diverse group in particular. what we're seeing is, candidates are going to have to win in november and beat mr. trump. they're going to have to take him down on the economy, which i

comparison is so galling and it's so obvious to so many people go ahead alex. yeah i mean it's also obvious to bars in a bar had to go outside of the d.o.j. to figure out what happened with michael flynn that's how much faith the bar has in his own justice department which i think everyone now is starting to realize is falling apart it's infested infested with partisanship with swamp creatures as trump would call them and we're looking at all out war bar doesn't even trust his own justice department to deal with flynn and now he's trying to deal with stone meanwhile we have mccabe walking around free we have lisa page tweeting out pics drinking wine saying congrats and whatever she said i mean it's right in front of our debates here but now it's. just a last few seconds here i think we have to say in all fairness trump isn't helping bar out by his random tweets there and you know going in there should be more of a united front there let bar do his job bar said 20 seconds go i've already said it and are said it ok real quick well i think that basically a bar it'
