transfer hi barbara what exactly did the european parliament vote on today. the european parliament sent a very strong message to president telling him to return to the rule of flora because they say as things stand in turkey these days they see via human rights breaches on a daily basis the judicial process has become totally arbitrary and there simply is no rule of law anymore many of people many of those people have been thrown in jail and the parliament talks about fifty thousand are in jail for more than a year without having gone to trial without even having heard accusations so this is a very strongly worded message and also parliament has taken the pains to sort of make a long list of human rights breaches that need to be amended and they really appeal to are telling him this cannot carry on we really have to change the relationship was tricky on the basis we are on it's not really supportable but the diplomatic channels are still open barbara president carter while as we said is been invited to a round of talks in bug area in march why is this summit

had no idea, she said, that shirley had left pepper with barbara.ded a court that pepper had essentially been abandoned and, thus, could be adopted or that shirley stole her back again. and then there they were telling their story on "dateline." telling how shirley and barbara had described her. >> yes, i heard what they said about me. i was not a street walker. i was a waitress all my life. >> they also said you didn't really want your children. you were happy to abandon them. >> i never abandoned my children. never. ever. and would never, ever do that. >> and she wasn't a drug addict either, she says. she's not had a smooth or easy life. and for much of it, she has missed her children and blamed herself for what happened. trusting shirley? >> yes. >> and for not having those kids under your wing all the time? >> that's right. >> tell me about that. >> to me, i felt like it was my fault, because i put them in the hands of this monster. >> we're in a hotel room in los angeles. geri is eager, anxious, terrified, visibly shaking. and then they come ar

v's all joins us tonight barbara good evening to you and you let me start with you the german chancellor and she is now within striking distance of forming a new government but this deal is contingent on all members of the s.p.d. saying yes can you explain to our viewers how is it possible that you have the fate of europe's largest economy its most important political engine in the hands of the members of one party that's very good question and it's controversial in germany because. i mean the citizens have already voted it right and they gave this they had their votes to the parties and now some voters or at least the members of the media will have another chance to vote so this is kind of problematic but the federal court has said it is it is ok so we have to live with that and social democrats decided to do that to back the coalition agreement by the members so we'll i mean it's not an ideal situation but right it is not a given that they're going to say yes when they do vote barbara let me ask you you are in strasbourg of the european parliament what does the european union make of t

our correspondent barbara vasovagal that report for us joins us now from our brussels studio barbara good morning to you matt investigative journalists while putting that report together do they feel in danger they feel that they are threatened perhaps even being targeted. they do indeed cry and some of these people feel as if they had a target on their breast really because they have reasoning is a really well known figure even internationally known known figure like definite go on. can be murdered and then nothing really happens because the people behind this still unknown and investigation seem to have stalled what about them anybody could blow them up or put something in their food or sort of wait for them in the dark at night so yes there's a feeling of insecurity and the times of malta the biggest newspaper on the island just serving forty percent of maltese people said they have no trust if they know about corruption if they witness corruption they don't trust the police they wouldn't dare sort of going to the police because they fear repercussions so it's a really negative pi

hello i'm barbara sarah this is the news hour live from london thank you for joining scumming up in the next sixty minutes. the u.n. chief is calling it hell on earth syria's government continues to pound the rebel held district of eastern. we cannot protect their. children survivors of the florida school shooting to send on the state's capital calling for action on gun control. stories of horrific killings a population living in fear the u.n. warns a humanitarian disaster in democratic republic of congo is unfolding. story in sports american lindsey vonn concludes this period and then pick i'll find king by winning downhill bronze in pyongyang time. syrian government bombs are continuing to rain down on the rebel held this strict. eastern hooten near damascus nearly three hundred people have been killed since sunday and all indications are that this is just the beginning the bombardment involves airstrikes rockets shelling and barrel bombs of crude unguided the vice filled with explosives and sometimes shrapnel and oil now according to medical sources eight hospitals were attacked on t

barbara: a very good stock to bond mix. opur bond positions -- our bond positions tend to be good during the markets selloff even though they were both selling off last week. equities fell significantly more. for us, we are still bargain-hunting in europe and the emerging markets. we think that is a great place for us to be over the course of the rest of this cycle. we'll see a recession transforming over the course of this year in the u.s., and we can probably push it out too late 2019 or early 2020 depending on how much this gives a boost to overheating for the u.s., which it does not. we overheating -- which it does not appear to be overheating. the unemployment rate was double. it was almost 8%. 3% does not necessarily scare us. vonnie: all right. thanks to barbara. let's check in now on the bloomberg first word news. taylor riggs has that. taylor: started in south florida, a 19 numeral former student has been charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder after the deadliest school shooting in the u.s. in five years. po

as both of you this and barbara i'll start with you what happens if the social democrats than at the end of this month what happens if they vote to kill this coalition plan. chaos catastrophe the major disasters should be say the little prayer that this won't happen because europe can deal with it not this year i just talk about rex it talk about the problems with eastern europe and many of the policy areas where is strong as stable hand in berlin really is needed a moment what about if it's killed i don't think germany will go up in flames if that occurs will have a caretaker government will get new elections then we will start another negotiating process there will be a government in place the wheels will continue to turn but what we won't have is a government capable of taking far reaching initiatives on crucial issues like making the country fit for the future in terms of digitalisation such as europe and there i think that for me would be the biggest disadvantage we need movement on europe now before you elections next year we need a government here in berlin in place that can t

vessels and by our side barbara what exactly is the parliament voting on today. the problem is voting on more really comes down to a devastating critique of the human rights situation in turkey what punishment really says is that turkey has completely left the policy of being a state where the rule of law has any traction it has changed sort of unrecognizably from the country that over a decade ago was allowed to start. was the european union and they list they make a long list of parliamentarians here very painstakingly of cases after cases offer greely grave human rights disturbances of really great to france against the human human rights there is no due presses anymore and so on and so force and they really they really show this up and they say this cannot go on so it's a very strong and very clear signal at ankara at the same time barbara president everyone we mention has been invited to you turkey roundtable talks in march so why is the summit being held. the summit is being held because some people say that we really need and that particularly for instance

we picked the name for the operation, operation sauerkraut. >> barbara drive to a prisoner of war campsearch for german prisoners that could link the operation. she interrogated numerous captains before choosing 16 men. >> you have 16 german soldiers who are prisoners of war turned back into basically double agents. >> we sold them on one idea, shorten the duration of this misery. the war is over. that there is no need to lose a limb or life. back in germany, there is a group that have tried to kill the fear. you can do really humanitarian piece of work by bringing this news as fast as possible to your people across the lands and they bought it. >> the pows mission was to reinfiltrate back across the german lines and redistribute rumors, leaflets and fake orders. >> where did you get the uniforms? >> the casualties, sort of stripped the uniforms and put these guys into the uniforms that we found on the beaches. >> the pows in operation sauerkraut would serve leaf lets, plant a few rumors almost like planting viruses, and it proved very effective because eventually, the moral of the ger

barbara: you may go wherever you want. vlad: everyone always says "i will try to be brief," so i will try to be brief. [laughter] people talk about brezhnev, we are struck by the fact that have noindividual ability to conceptualize , they came up with the idea of detente and it succeeded for a while, at least in that enterprise. it is useful to understand brezhnev through khrushchev. brezhnev proceeded -- proceeded khrushchev. the person who represents her bolshevik tradition, that is the existing capitalist system and the revolution. if you ask yourself why there is only one khrushchev, truly, in the history of the cold war? there were no imitators of khrushchev before, since, and there were no willing imitators of khrushchev after him, which is easy to understand. you come up with a more normative picture of soviet foreign policy were most people, even stalin at many points of his career, and certainly people after stalin's death began to search for some kind of soviet-american data or some kind of a conceptual system st

barbara: it has had an impact on pakistan. mean, i don't think we go by tweets alone. we make a very measured response. when he made that tweet that we felt was very discourteous -- however, pakistan made a very measured response, because we still believe there is an opportunity, there is great value in pakistan-u.s. cooperation to bring peace in afghanistan. however, pakistan will not compromise on its dignity. this is what i told the u.s. s secretary te and u.s. secretary of defense when we had a meeting in islamabad, that we are a nation which got independence for our dignity. if you offer the people of pakian a cup of poison with dignity, they might drink it. but if you offer people of pakistan cup of honey under duress and coercion, they wi refuse to drink it. we have made very big crifice for fighting war against terrorism. we do not want any dollars. we want an understanding and recognition for the sacrificesat akistan has made. laura: you are watching "bbc world news america." still to come on tonight'sck program, bnemployment and politics. why one of president

barbara: this is our second half of this panel. we will go to a little bit past 1:00 during i just met glad last ad last evening over dinner. after dinner, we had a fascinating, decision about khrushchev and kennedy. but it was different ones, mrs. jacqueline kennedy and mrs. khrushchev. we may leave that for later discussion, but i enjoyed that conversation. vlad is a professor of international history at the london school of economics. he is an expert of the cold war and soviet russian history, particularly intellectual history. among his books particularly related to this topic, the failed empire and the cold war. i noted among his books zhivago's children. having just watched the movie yet again, "dr. zhivago," i was drawn to that topic. jeremy surrey is a longtime friend of the miller center. we are always happy to welcome him back as we did recently for an american for him on his latest book, "the impossible presidency," which in light of the incumbent it could be called "the impossible president," but it is "the impossible p

europe we are ready to get into the driver seat next to emmanuel mccall oh yeah the exit over to barbara barbara what do you think the germans gave mr marquand today i mean did he get a bouquet from the german chancellor. at least that brant i would rather say it's a big box nicely tied was written really good really gift package because mccrone really needs germany to do anything in europe he came out with some bold ideas he wants to reform the eurozone he wants to have some sort of european monetary fund he wants to invest more in europe and shift sort of the economic spending power of germany somehow through the south of europe with money and investment is sorely needed so he could have done nothing none of all of these if the grand coalition in berlin wouldn't have come together because it was the liberal party of my coalition as they said in germany it would have been very difficult so he really needed this it's important not only for you it's important for micron's own political survival medium term so yes happiness in paris happiness in paris in the grand coalition two point zero

davis the lead minister for britain has not been spending that much time in brussels this year as barbara alluded to in ninety's going round different e.u. capitals giving speeches and meeting his fellow ministers to try and really drum up support from other countries for the british positions having said that the british positions are not that clear we as barbara alluded to again we only really we only achieved some principles in december that allowed the impression of momentum to get time to get to the next phase but britain then handed over responsibility to the european union to write down the legal ease of of of what december meant and that has sprung some surprises and it has also left out something the bush just thought they'd agreed to which was there would be no de facto ball. between northern ireland and the rest of great britain yeah i'd like to focus on what has become the biggest bricks and blockade if you will the border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland here show you if you could bring your attention over here to the big wall we're going to talk about thi

to both of you welcome barbara let me start with you mr barr and you made it clear today that a final divorce agreement is anything but clear has he been saying this all along i mean it kind of shocked people. it shouldn't have shocked people if they have really watched the negotiations and the progress or non progress that talks have made particularly since december when we reached the point in brussels where there was a certain political eagerness to say ok let's move on let's just sort of wipe some things away or put them aside maybe i should say and say ok we have a rough agreement on the divorce and now we're going to sort of write this down and fill in the details since then there has been no negotiations in brussels other than legal eagles sitting together on the technical level and saying oh could we put the sentence here of that comma there and so this is what we have at this point in time very late in the game is no divorce agreement that is agreed and no transition agreement that's part of it i mean just watching the reaction today in london they really did see why they wer

dame barbara stocking.t is reviewing its work for 0xfam in light of these allegations and in a statement, said it acknowledged hundreds of oxfam staff had done no wrong but added the way this appalling abuse of vulnerable people was dealt with raises serious questions that 0xfam must answer. there is more on their story in the times tomorrow. as you heard in that interview, dame barbara couldn't say for sure that the dismissed staff hadn't gone on to work for other aid organisations. the times has discovered that the man at the heart of the story — country director roland van hauwermeiren — did work elsewhere afterwards, in a senior role for a french charity at a project in bangladesh. the bosses of that organisation have even said they received positive references about mr van hauwermeiren from 0xfam. full details are in the times tomorrow. welljoining me now from nottingham is the mp andrew mitchell — he was the development secretary at the time of the problems 0xfam had in haiti. and with me in the studi

he spoke with my colleague barbara plett-usher. >> this has brought new momentum, it has created new job opportunities, it has revived our construction industry. it has been a game changer by bringing new opportunity, optimism, and attracting world investors towards pakistan. barbara: with such chinese support, can pakistan afford to ignore president trump's decision to suspend military aid? >> unfortunately, we were not receiving heavy military aid in recent years. but we certainly look forward to having a strong partnership with the united stes. barbara: but a strong economic relationship with china doesur take the preoff, doesn't n , if the u.s. decides to cut aid or take certaiactions? >> well, i think it dore not take theure off, but it brings great strength to pakistan's economy, because pakistani economy was not having foreign investment in big scale. barbara: are there people in the pakistani government assigned to watching president trump's twitter feed? >> well, the whole world watches hibatwitter feed. ara: it has had an impact on pakistan. mean, i don't think we go by twe

ken dilanian, barbara mcquaid, robert costa, our thanks. joining us for more reaction to everything we've talked about tonight, u.s. senator mazie hirono, joining us from honolulu tonight. senator, the first question is more about your 99 colleagues. >> aloha. >> aloha, senator. you're one of 100 but talk about the institution. think of our broadcast thus far. the folks who voted you in, the american taxpayers, are now going to look to you to do the right thing on guns, whatever that is. and the right thing on the russia investigation, whatever that is. do you have confidence in the institution to get that right? but you are in the party minority. or do you have your doubts? >> i think we have our challenges. but one of the occurrences or the events that really heartens me is young people like sam who are coming forward and saying that they are demanding sensible gun legislation so that they don't go to school and be killed. that is not asking too much at all. and so that is a -- to me, i am really heartened. with the march in washington, d

>> let's go to barbara. >> thanks to all of you for your amazing comments today.they say the old adage is you never get a second chance to make a first impression. presidents come unless they have these oddities where they come in and carry out an ex-presidents term usually don't get a second chance. they have a first year. you know we have the state of the union address coming up very soon. if this president called you into the oval office. he calls and asks you a normative question, what should i say to the american people? what would you tell him? >> i completely agree with you that it's been overwhelming on twitter that it's been active in social media. again, a missed opportunity to use these other platforms to go on whitehouse.gov. that to me, i understand him wanting to do things differently than obama. their attack six that they would be wise to follow up on the white house website. a videographer that follows the president everywhere. behind the scenes video and photos you have somebody from unemployment and there's a lot of places to go, things to share

[applause] barbara: you are busily making notes. do you have questions? vlad: no, go ahead and begin. barbara: we have one here in the middle. for a very interesting and stimulating discussion. leaders havessian longevity in the office that their american counterparts normally don't have. when you look at brezhnev, it is johnson and nixon and carter and all the focus is on nixon. carter and johnson somehow got lost in our story. is on the state in the favor of detente. johnson andee does ander have an effect had an impactoke on it? when i wrote about brezhnev, i was struck about how much of it was his per nalley, his own set of beliefs, but also -- his personality, his own set of beliefs, but also his structural factors. nixon, who was an ideal american president in the soviet imagination. everything is run through kissinger. everything is secretive. everything is decided through back channel. . the u.s. secretary of state doesn't even know about the back channel. perfect. perfectly how you can run business in the soviet imagination. so that luck couldn't

." >> barbara boxer a former congressman. mickey, let me start with you. does it feel to you like you're watching some sort of madness when you watch the president or wayne lapierre talk about this. >> it feels like i'm watching a lot of repetitive madness because when this happens over and over again, it happenses in colorado, it happens in florida. it happens in nevada. and these kids make more sense, are more sane than the people in congress who can't deal with this whoing are afraid to deal with a problem that is just eating us up alive. the cowardice in the congress and the idiocy in the white house are such a difference from the clear, hard voices of these young people who are standing up for what's rational. >> i should point out, are you a former republican office holder, member of congress for many years. you bed in leadership, correct? >> i did. >> senator boxer, there is a cycle to this. there was a period of time in which democrats really led the charge on gun safety and gun regulation. it was seen as a winning issue. and things changed in the

jackie, barbara, ranking member brady, you have all worked together to make it better. this is what it's all about why came to washington to find problems identify solutions and then turn them into law. we did that in a bipartisan way. who would've thought this would've been a bipartisan solution. many people would not have thought that but today they should when we talk about the issue that was affected by the spill one thing that hasn't been discussed is the transparency this gives the american people. they're going to know anytime a settlement is reached by any member of congress and what chairman harper and the entire house is tommy over the past three years is about making sure we come together to find solutions. this helped pass laws last year to make it the most transparent financial form of government. you can search insert every dollar that congress spends. now because of the people behind me the american people are gonna know if there's a bad actor amongst us. >> i want to thank chairman harper and brady for including the house ethics committee. proud to have

i said god must have sent an angel. >> a few days later nick got this from barbara's family. a hand written thank you note and a crisp 100-dollar bill. a reward he's not altogether comfortable with. >> i don't consider myself as is a hero, i consider myself, you know, someone that was at the right place at the right time. >> that's because nick says he just did what he should do, he did what he would want someone else to do for his grandmother >> that's right. do un to other a what you would have them do un to you. nick didn't just call an ambulance for a strange nerve trouble. he went the extra mile and drove her all the way to the hospital. he waited when her to make sure she would be okay, a complete stranger. great job, nick, and best of luck to you in the air force. i love it. i call it angels in the room sometimes when someone just shows up at that right time and they have the decision, a.m. tie busy or what can i squeeze in or if they actually act, and when at the do man doses that sends a ripple effect around the person's life, the community. >> and you put yourself i

barbara is also an msnbc contributor. good morning to you both.bara, do these changes signal to you, these charges, do they signal where the investigation is going? >> we saw new charges come in against paul manafort. not in terms of new counts, but new narrative about some of his lobbying activity with further extensive relationships with european politicians, which is sort of some interesting intrigue. other thing that's new is in the virginia indictment, talked about how paul mrt seemed to be sort of desperately trying to generate cash by getting false mortgages and loans on some of his properties. when you will couple that with some of the reporting we've seen already about offering a free briefing to a russian oligarch about the trump campaign and perhaps owing a large debt to a russian oligarch, it does suggest that all of these financial crimes might be related to links to russia as well. >> okay. so joyce, manafort released a statement. here's what it said, not with standing that rick gates pled guilty, i continue to maintain my innocence.

[laughter] barbara: but very seriously, it is a major work that mark edited. it has essays on every topic of jfk's life and career and presidency and i rely on it almost exclusively as i prepared -- as i am preparing to speak about president kennedy. i think of him as my colleague even though he preceded me at the miller center. he served as the director of the miller center's kremlin decision center making project. tim, after serving director of the nixon library has become a associate professor of history and public history at nyu. he is the co-author of many books but one called khrushchev's cold war. if you are a fan of cnn documentaries, you will recognize him as the star of many of them. i highly recommend to all of you, if you have not read them, the four essays for the panel. they are informative and compelling. i want to begin with mark and begin with the end of his essay, which is a set of conclusions that he draws on jfk's role and behavior in the cuban missile crisis, and most importantly for our conference, to draw out the lessons of jfk's role an

john hileman, barbara mcquad an msnbc legal contributor, and frank montoya, jr. he's a retired fbi executive. john, i want to get in one more word buy graphically here about mark corallo. here's a former spokesperson for the attorney general. a republican attorney general. he knows his way around this arena. and he develops concerns of the people he's dealing with and what he hears in this conference call that hope hicks could be leading the president into obstruction of justice or herself into obstruction of justice and it sounds like this is the kind of thing that made him get out of there. >> mark corallo is a familiar figure if you covered washington scandals and politics for a long time. he made his name working for dan burton's committee back when that committee was investigating bill clinton. he did work for john ashkroft in the justice department and then left and worked for valerie rose. so this is a guy who has a lot of time at the nexus -- not a lawyer but someone who knows a lot about the law for a nonlawyer and knows about the political implications

barbara, let me start with you. if rick gates pleads guilty, what does it mean for this probe? >> it could be helpful, certainly, in the manafort investigation. it could be that his cooperation helps in any trial of paul manafort by providing someone who can explain and connect the dots for prosecutors. but i also think it could ultimately help in a prosecution of connections between russia and the trump campaign if he has information about that, because either he has his own information about it, gates does, or he could induce cooperation from paul manafort, if manafort's conviction becomes inevitable with the cooperation of rick gates, it could cause him to enter a guilty plea and try to cooperate. and of course, paul manafort as a former campaign chairman, may have information that is useful. >> speak to barbara's point, which anyone will recognize from any outdoor barbecuing and it is presidents' day, you go up to the grill, you don't flip one burger. you flip all the burgers in a row. the idea, at least the goal of the mueller prosecutors and the team here, which includes

barbara? >> thanks so much, will, and of course to mel and stiff new for organizing and executing a timely yet history-based battle conference this year. of course this is the very essence of miller center scholarship and programming. i am delighted to moderate this 11:00 panel. we'll go until about 1:00 and we'll do this in two halves. the first half of our discussion will feature my miller center colleague immediately to my left, mark silverstone. mark is a professor of presidential study errs here at the center. which analyzes, transcribes, edits the secret white house tapes particularly from the kennedy, johnson and nixon administration. if you watch the ken burns vietnam series, you will have seen mark's name and our colleague ken hughes' name prominently displayed in the credits because they were crucial to providing the clips from particularly the nixon and the johnson years, but some of the kennedy tapes as well. mark is a foreign policy historian of the first order, focussing on the c

week barbara what are they making of germany's coalition deal. in the first instance of course everybody is relieved because germany for months on end wobbling all over the place that was unusual and unnerving for many european partners and so everybody is sort of quite relieved that they are now getting something together that they managed to cobble together a government and then in the second instance of course it depends on where you stand the southern european countries now hope for radical change in fiscal policy that means germany is going to spend money it's going to loosen the purse strings in europe that's the hope we talked to a series of greek parliamentarian here from the government in essence today and he was delirious any any finance minister has no not called. is very very welcome he said so that's the one aspect on the other hand if you look at some of the northern countries for instance like our neighbors in the netherlands they are a bit suspicious because they as germany has been in the process tend to sort of keep money togeth
