well, this was a very interesting case, the andrea leadsom case. to be a is—minute interview. for reasons to do with when andrea was able to start it, it ended up being a much shorter one. it was more like seven or eight minutes, and it was a down—the—line interview. and in those situations, the interviewer is under a lot more pressure to stop, to keep the interview moving along, and to address all the questions they are trying to address in the interview. let's move on to another issue. last week we featured complaints about another interview emily did, with the prime minister, about the grenfell fire. let's watch a clip. we have yet to find out what the cause of the fire was. the fire brigade, the fire service, are doing that. you could have stopped it spreading by spending £2 more on the cladding. the fire service are looking at what the cause of the fire was. and it's important that we get to the bottom of this, that we find out exactly what happened. that's why. .. but you were recommended this in 2013. you were in government there, and the co

the reference that andrea leadsom made to patriotism has been mocked. but some people say the coverage has been negative. i thought it was an excellent interview. i'm sure some viewers would agree with these complaints but the majority of people who saw it will think that calling an interviewer unpatriotic when there's awkward questions is somewhere between hilarious and sinister. it happens in moscow and beijing but not really in a place with a free media. andrea leadsom went on to say that she was not calling her unpatriotic. you only have to watch it. the viewers that you have reported the complaints of would make the point that it was fair to call emily unpatriotic. newsnight is good at turning around these interviews as a social media clip to go viral, but watching it back on the whole, do you not see why many viewers felt it was heavy—handed 7 if you are making a point about partial extracts from an interview and how some of those can gain circulation outside the context of an interview, that is an interesting one and one we need to think about be

lawyer, andrea.m told, according to a senior administration official he will be overseaing the responeing th terms of legally and sort of the public relations reaction. if you think back to some of these recent briefings we have had with sarah huckabee sanders, with sean spicer, they have really started to refer all questions related to russia to the president's outside counsel. and i think there is a sense that there needs to be more discipline when it comes to the messaging coming out of the white house, because what you're seeing are a lot of leaks in the wake of sort of the official public line. so they want to try to shut that part of it down. they want there to be a clean narrative coming out of the white house. speaks to the fact that this is a controversy that is deepening for this president. and it also comes in the wake of reporting that we have that points to sources, the president's lawyers, jared kushner's lawyers having discussions around this same exact topic. making sure that there is

andrea, i watched ambassador haley as i'm sure you did. thought -- i mean, i heard escalation more than you heard the word. i heard it on the military and the economic front and i thought what she was essentially threatening was a trade war with china. what did you hear? >> that's what i heard as well. she said that there are -- that the u.s. will use all of its options, military as well, to defend itself and its allies, but prefers other options. so she seemed to be taking a step back from what president trump said back in april when he said that we could have a major, major conflict with north korea. then on may 28th, on cbs, defense secretary mattis said that would be catastrophic. they seem to be pulling back from threatening military action which is the worst of all possible choices. probably because not only with the -- would the reaction be so catastrophic as the defense secretary says, but because it would likely not work. we don't know where everything is. where it's being buried, underground. what in missile showed us it was on a

i think andrea mitchell had it just right in the last hour. the question isn't how she ended up in the united states. the question is why when she presented the fact that she might have damaging information about president trump's political opponent, his team was willing to take a meeting with her at the highest possible levels of his campaign and the closest -- people closest -- in closest proximity to the president. that's the question that needs to be answered. when the president is asked whether doing that is right or wrong, he again answers with sort of a disconnected response that this is sort of what other people would do in a similar situation. it kind of remind you of when you're a kid and your parents say if everybody else were jumping off a bridge, you know, would you? that's not a right or wrong type of answer. i think he owes the american people his view as to whether what his team did was the right thing. a lot of people think it wasn't. >> this is a pretty, you know, broad answer by the president. i don't think we're going to ge
