>> that is right, ali.senators we saw break with this, we expected that to happen, it is red state senators, and they didn't see it as a worthwhile thing to ph filibuster this nomination. they're concerned about losi a general election karater than a primary challenge from their own party, and it was plateeed by many activist groups helping this get to a point where it did succeed. the last was now a series of motions that require the senate to vote. so if you go back and look at what and forth. you will see the senate go into a roll call vote on an x procedural motion or a y procedural motion. we are looking for the vote to change the senate rules. >> you understand that every time i ask you an about secure questi -- obscure question and you provide an answer, i will just keep asking you obscure questions. thank you kacie and mark. all eyes on the senate today to see how this develops. we'll keep a close eye on the senate floor. this as president trump is just moments away from leaving the white house for

a new development every day, as well, ali. today, u.s. officials are telling nbc news that a special sniffer plane, along with drones and u2 spy planes have been deployed to the region, are up in the air in this part of the world. that sniffer plane, wc-135 is able to detect a nuclear explosion in the atmosphere. now, the air force says, look, this is a routine mission. this is something that was planned well in advance. nothing special here. nothing to see here. but it comes as we're hearing from two u.s. intelligence officials who are telling nbc news that north korea could perform a nuclear test at any time with little or no warning. and, again, this is one day after north korea's latest threat, which was to reduce the u.s. to ashes with a preemptive strike. that rheric coming out yesterday. today, the secretary of defense was asked about north korea's threats. take a listen. >> their word is not proven honest. it's been provocative. they've not lived up to any statements they've made in the past. so i would just take their word, the s

ali? >> all right. the big question now, after the assessment, is what happens next? what's the strategy going forward? we're going to be talking to others about what the political strategy is at the white house on the hill. what's the military strategy? >> on isis, the military strategy will continue, right, and that's a separate campaign. they'll continue to fight against isis. the officials here at the pentagon are saying they will continue to deconflict with the russians. they want the line of communication with the russians to remain open so you don't have mishaps in the sky. remember, the strategy in syria, for the most part, is trying to defeat isis. what we don't know is fully flushing out what secretary tillerson said yesterday. that is that there is going to be a diplomatic effort underway -- underway was his quote -- to have a transition of assad from power. before, it seems the entire administration was signaling it was a political reality that assad would stay. that seems to h

>> yes, good morning, ali. secretary of state tillerson has just arrived here in central moscow, bringing, as you say, some tough words for the russians. but president putin has had some tough words this morning. he said that the situation in syria today reminds him of iraq in 2003. and the u.s. claims that iraq had weapons of mass destruction. he is appealing to the u.n. to investigate that chemical weapons attack in syria last week. most startlingly of all, he said that russia has information that another chemical attack is being planned southf damascus that would be used to discredit president assad. now, he didn't say who was planning the attack or what his sources were, but that's the kind of atmosphere rex tillerson is driving into. also, the russian foreign ministry this morning saying that relations between the russians and the u.s. are at their lowest point since the cold war. well, mr. tillerson comes here from that g-7 summit in italy with a united message. he will tell the russian foreign minister,

i'm ali velshi in washington. we begin with the trump administration taking the stage at the united nations, warning the global community about a potential catastrophe if action is not taken now on the north korea crisis. right now, secretary of state rex tillerson is chairing a special meeting in front of the u.n. security council in new york city where he's calling on the nations to impose new pressure on north korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions. >> the threat of the north korea nuclear threat on seoul or tokyo is real, and it is likely only a matter of time before north korea develops the capability to strike the u.s. mainland. we call on countries to suspend or downgrade diplomatic relations with north korea. north korea exploits its diplomatic privileges to understood its illicit nuclear programs and constraining its diplomatic activity will cut off a flow of needed resources. we must increase north korea's isolation. we must have sanctions on dprk entities and tighten those already in place. all options

ali? >> all right. we are just watching the assembled groups there in preparation for the president's comment. we understand, kasie, that given the fraught nature of his comments, or lack thereof, about the holoust and relating to the threats to jewish community centers and things like that, that the expectation here is that the president will stay on script and be very disciplined in his message. >> i think that makes a lot of sense, ali. i mean, as you point out, they have come under criticism for, you know, not -- the critical statement against the jewish people relating to thie issue. there was the period of time for the threats against the jewish community centers and the white house was criticized for their lack of response to that. the president will probably stay close to script. he has on the ceremonial occasions at the capitol, it seems largely stayed on the scripts. h i think today there is a more intense imperative than ever to do that. ali? >> kasie, i'll take a break. i probably want to co

i'm ali velshi in washington. we begin with a new escalation of tensions on multiple foreign policy fronts. among them, north korea warning this morning of a, quote, super, mighty, preemptive strike, as the trump administration considers its next move. russia talking aggressively -- or taking aggressive, new action. two nuclear capable bombers, like the one you see here, twice this week flying close to the alaskan coast. one causing u.s. fighter jets to scramble to intercept them. now the trump administration is opening a new front with iran. secretary of state tillerson accusing tehran of sponsoring terrorism throughout the middle east. he is also condemning the landmark nuclear deal created by the obama administration and warning that iran could be the next north korea. >> unchecked iran has the potential to take the path of north korea and take the world along with it. this represents the same failed approach of the past that brings us to the threat of north korea. iran's actions threaten the united states, the

>> ali, it is a mess. syria and iraq have been profoundly reshaped by isis and by the long going, grinding civil war within syria, which is really a war of assad against his own people. we have made real progress with our coalition partners in pushing isis out of mosul. we are poised for success in taking raqqah back from isis. i'm gravely concerned we don't have the investment in diplomacy and investment resources to secure the piece after isis is driven out of the two main cities. the president proposed dramatic cuts to our diplomatic and development spending. i think that is the wrong direction to go. in our previous experience in iraq, it showed that. we can be successful militarily. if we don't invest in stabilizing the countries and providing a positive alternative to extremism, poverty and terrorism, inevitably, we'll be back there again five or ten years from now. >> you'd imagine that's going to be some of the conversation that president trump has with the king of jordan? probably going to happen

ali told us that recently, the so—called islamic state infiltrated the nearby village.he heard about it, hejumped on a truck and picked up weapons with some of the other hashish farmers, and according to him, they fought them off. because they are distracted with isis, they are distracted with isis, they are distracted with isis, they are distracted with the threat of the threat of syria. have you actually fired this? is this where the magic happens? why did you choose black and red? you've got good taste. it seems that everybody is your enemy, because hezbollah don't want you to do this, the government don't want you to, isis. who is on your side? what do you want your legacy to be? do you want to be really famous? do you want everyone to know who you are you did? he is giving me a tour. here we go. while. mountains of hashish. hashish is illegal in lebanon. how can you be so open about it? have you had to actually fight against the government to protect crops? there's just hashish everywhere, we re there's just hashish everywhere, were soaked in it. how much do you ma

ali? >> that's interesting. a few days ago, the vice president had implied that direct negotiations with north korea would make sense. kelly, thanks very much for that. kelly cobiella in south korea. >>> this morning, the white house is also talking tough on ir iran. secretary of state tillerson saying the trump administration is weighing whether to effectively kill the landmark nuclear deal signed almost two years ago under the obama administration. the secretary notifying congress in a letter that despite finding that iran is complying with the agreement, the white house is looking at whether the u.s. should break with the deal because of what it sees as iran's continued support of terrorism. during the presidential campaign, then-candidate trump repeatedly called the agreement the worst deal ever negotiated. >> they have become rich. they have become powerful. the deal is one of the worst negotiated deals of any kind that i've ever seen. >> joining me now is a research director at the national iranian/america

>> reporter: that's right, ali.his has been a very fast-moving story up here on capitol hill as these twin investigations go on on the house side and the senate side. on the house side, it had ground to a halt after devin nunes went to the white house grounds to view materials, that he then told the press about without telling the ranking member on the committee about. now adam schiff, the ranking member, did go to the white house on friday. he was told that he took a look at the same materials that devin nunes was showed. now, nunes problem and the key differetween the house investigation and the senate one is that the house is looking into what called unmasking. so when the government does electronic surveillance of foreign nationals, it's a routine thing. sometimes they pick up conversations that include u.s. persons or that are about u.s. persons, and sometimes those names are not supposed to be what is called unmasked, revealed, but they sometimes are. sometimes appropriately, sometimes the nunes and republican

ali? >> real quick, you were on the story i don't know how many hours you worked yesterday, but sergey l sergey lavrov and rex tillerson worked for a long time and they said we don't agree on most things on our agenda we understand each other better. if they went into yesterday with the lowest point in decades did they improve slightly yesterday? >> well, ali, if talk is good, then there was certainly enough talk yesterday. three hours between tillerson and lavrov and two hours in that meeting between putin and tillerson. but, you know, what came of it? well maybe they drew a line at the lowest point and things will improve. you know, actions speak louder than words and we'll only honestly know in the next days and weeks. >> thanks very much. steve, let's bring you into this conversation. critics are saying that the thread that connects these changes in position is president trump, not knowing a lot about these topics and having to learn on the job, making promises on the campaign that he

there's a bright line distinction between that, ali. you have officials in various white houseshat ulbe something the national security advisor would do. request for the sake of national security. they could have a lot of reasons why they would request that unmasking, but then it would be a different individual, the actual intelligence agency who is heading it that owns that intelligence that initially collected it. they would make the determination. reporters here, our colleagues at nbc news, have been making dozens of phone calls on this. the rules on this are very clear. susan rice could have potentially and, again, we have not independently corroborated whether or not susan rice asked for the unmasking of whoever the official might have been, but the person that would grant that is in a separate part of the government, and then there's the other batch, and that's the people that were speaking to the washington post, those nine officials, former and current, that initially broke this open. a lot of moving parts, but in some ways the

we've got ali watkins here tonight to talk about that story we've got her exclusively. you are going to want to hear that. we're also going to be joined by michael leiter. he's the former director of the national counterterrorism center. big show coming up tonight. a lot to get to this hour. one of the weirder stories is the revelation that jared curb, the president's 36 year old son-in-law is in baghdad today. the u.s. secretary of state has not been the baghdad since the new administration started. but jared's there. that said, it's not totally clear what the secretary of state does in this new administration. i mean, take the president's special envoy for middle east peace. that is a person that has been appointed to be the trump administration's eyes and ears, the point person on middle east peace. that person doesn't report to either the president or secretary of state. that person reports to jared. "the new york times" and the "financial times" report in detail today that the preparations for the critical meeting this week with president xi of china, those prepara
