violence a larger pattern is very clear now as penn international pitted these convictions mark an apex in the disintegration in the rule of law in turkey it's been a week and a half since the school shootings in florida and president trump is coming under pressure to do something anything about gun control in the u.s. but some of that pressure in the news media is coming from unexpected quarters what's going on well in the aftermath of the shooting survivors have taken to the media both mainstream and social to advocate for tougher gun control laws the right wing media apparatus which tends to. poe's rewriting those laws is contesting that approach fox news tucker carlson for instance said the surviving students are being entries loaded a list of a selection and the allegation has been that they are in some way in contact with organized anti-gun groups and people have suggested that have been denounced as immoral and heartless and how do you know if fox news right so this is kind of to be expected but the networks chief white house correspondent john roberts got into it with press secr

i think we first have to ask what hasn't changed and the fact is the military is very much at the apex of sudanese politics the president omar bashir very much military man the first vice president is also from the army and so while there have been changes elsewhere i don't think we can conclude too much at this stage that said general arduin the chief of staff of the army played an important role in the ongoing peace talks for south kordofan so his departure may change the government's delegation there but in terms of the other positions it's too early to say really yeah i mean the military spokesman called the changes all part of routine work but i mean how common is it to make such major changes in the military when every three or four years sudan has gone through a rotation and they've managed to do that fairly routinely and so a change in sudan of the military leadership here isn't perhaps as consequential as the change we've seen in saudi arabia in recent days where again the defense establishment was was changed to consider though in sudan the irregular forces are also very impo

remember last november after meeting vladimir putin briefing during the apex summit in vietnam, he said he believes him when he denied meddling in the election of today justice department filed the first indictments in this case. the white house still holding firm. there was no collusion. we had two statements. let's look at both. first from the white house press secretary sarah sanders. she said this. the special counsel's investigation further indicates there was no collusion, all caps, between the trump campaign and russia, and that the election was not affected. in a second statement oceans to say this. we cannot allow those to sow confusion. it is time to stop the the are farfetched theories which only serve to further agendas of bad actors like russia, and do nothing to protect the principles of our institutions. the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein did answer a question saying the outcome of the election was not affected. but there are some questions about that. john brennan said it is implausible to know if it impacted the outcome of the election or not. so this certainly

this may not be the apex, but it's certainly a new peak in the way they have enlisted in this crusade>> meanwhile, the special counsel's investigation ticks on. i say meanwhile, look, i think these two things are tied together. i don't think these things are happening in their own universe here. this memo is tied to the special counsel's investigation. molly, this development in "the new york times" overnight, the special counsel seems very, very interested in hope hicks and this meeting on air force one, the drafting of a response to the trump tower meeting. the idea that you're focusing now on that moment shows you the special counsel is very interested in the narrative that the white house tried to create over time. how much of a problem is this for them and how much of a problem is this for hope hicks? >> well, we don't follow is the answer i have to preface any speculation about this with. most of the leaks that we're getting so far have not been from mueller's team. so we really only have tea leaves about what he's interested in. this may be a focus, but not the sole focus. this
