i'll turn to senator carden. >> i also thank you for your testimony. if i could get a yes or no answer on your personal views whether what's happening there is ethnic cleansing. i understand the administration is going through a process. but i would like to get your view, whether with you believe this is ethnic cleansing or not. yes or no would be helpful. >> thank you, senator. if you'll permit me a slightly more elaborate answer. >> no. >> my bosses have said -- >> i think clarity is important here. i'm asking your view. >> unfortunately i'm not in a position to make a determination. you're correct we're referring to a process to lead to that determination. in the meantime we conclude there have been atrocities, massive displacement, depopulation of villages that cause us great concern. therefore we're pursuing all avenues for accountability. hypothetically a determination of ethnic cleansing will not change our pursuit of full accountability. >> could you answer yes or no. whether you believe it's ethnic cleansing? >> senator, i worked in humanitari

i guess i want to start following up on something that senator carden said to secretary murphy. last year, last congress the decision was nide lift the sanctions against burma. will that be reversed? was it a mistake? >> senator, appreciate your long standing interest in burma and i think your visit there does equip you to understand many of the challenges this country faces. i want to take the opportunity to sbeek the moral clarity. there's been questions about where the administration is. we've stated in our testimony today we have witnessed terrible crimes. there is increasing evidence that security forces are associated with vigil ante action. these individuals will be held accountable. we will pursue accountability. i have also stated that american security forces have -- security forces bear the greatest responsibility for protecting local populations and have failed to do so. our sanctions program was des n designed to see the expression of the will of the burmese people. we saw successful election, an elected government just 16 months ago began very significant efforts t

ben carden concerned about jared kushner's communications. a copy evof a letter was obtain by abc news. it's reported that kushner and ivanka trump rerouted their accounts through trump organization computers. >>> baseball's playoffs are under way and they started with a lot of home runs. >> thankfully most of them by the yankees. but we'll start off with the twins who started with a pair of homers in the first, taking a 3-0 lead. new york tied the game with a 3-run blast. aaron judge adds to the yankees' lead with a the yankees move on to the division series against cleveland with an 8-4 victory! i'm with you, jack. >> no. minnesota. >> thumbs down is one of their things this year. that's good. >>> coming up, the former ceo of equifax faces new heat on capitol hill. hear what richard smith says were the prime culprits of the data breach. >>> and the politics of guns. what we're hearing now from both sides of the debate. you're watching "world news now." my shoulders carry some i deserve others i don't but in the end only one name really matt

maryland senators dan carden and holland will be on hand this morning at 8:30 at greenbelt middle to make that announcement today. also two other maryland school systems qualified for this grant among only 14 across the country. a very rare honor for students here in prince george's county. of course, teachers and principals. live in greenbelt, justin finch, news 4. back into the studio. >> there's a lot of money and work to be done in prince george's county. very exciting news. >> the redskins win this weekend. it's causing some concerns about next week's primetime game. monday night football. >> that's because it's tough to watch for a redskins fan. >> there's no way around t the redskins barely holding on. they did get the w. they beat the 49ers. the eagles are next and they're tied for the best record in game. >> carol maloney shows us what the 'skins say they need do now. >> an ugly two-point win over a team without a victory. but just enough for kirk cousins. with his wife and newborn son looking on, cousins done them proud. fourth quarter keeps the option for a seven-yard touc

this as democratic senator ben carden saying democrats adamantly oppose tax cuts. act like the tax hiking walter mondale party. the answer is it's going to answer the deficit. again, this is a far cry from the democrats like ted kennedy who voted for the reagan cuts 30 years ago. >> i don't think it's very likely we'll get it done this year, we need to have democrats and republicans working together. democrats made it clear we will not support a program that's going to blow a hole in the deficit. their plan is scheduled to be a $1.5 trillion additional debt, probably much larger than that. as you pointed out, we support a tax proposal that helps the middle class, the overwhelming majority of the aid goes to the highest income people. liz: so the democrats not buying the facts and that is in the high-income brackets, the small businesses, the little guys who pay at that income level. 90% of business income comes at the income tax level. republicans are acting like democrats when it comes to using our 401(k)s as bargaining chips to pay for tax cuts. when congress enj

. >> joining us senator ben carden from maryland ranking member on the foreign relations committee.'s get into that, senator. we appreciate you being here. given what you have seen so far in this indictment and statement of offense against papadopolous in the mueller investigation thus far, do you agree with that senior white house official who said look, the world is less safe as long as this mueller investigation is going on? speaking in the context of this leading up to the president's trip to asia. >> i can tell you the world will be less safe if we do not understand how russia operates and what they were doing in the united states and their efforts to infiltrate the trump campaign and the cooperation they received from the trump campaign. you know, there should have been red flags that went off when there was russians that wanted to meet with representatives of the trump campaign. that should have no place in american elebs, unless -- elections, but those meetings, in fact, did take place. the concern is we have to find out how they operated, we have to find out who's responsib

treaties, executive agreements, not anything that has a legislative companion comparable to the corker-carden bill that requires certification process. this bill was a mistake from the get-go and this whole debate over certification is one more pernicious effect of it. i just would repeal the whole thing. i don't care whether he certifies or not. it's better to decertify. but it's not enough if you don't get out of the deal. you ask yourself, how logically can the president say, this deal is not in america's national interest but by gosh i'm going to stay in it. >> dana: stay with me, we will have tape in a moment, getting it fed to us, president trump did address what he meant last night. we'll find out that, hopefully keep you around, sir, to answer that. >> sure. >> dana: i imagine that the advisors are telling him that iran is technically in compliance. >> they're not. >> dana: why would you say they're not? >> look, they have exceeded a number of limits already. i think it's indicative they're testing the envelope of what they can do. let's be clear when people say the iaea, internationa

let's go to ben carden. we want to talk about the other matters that are going on. let's ask about you this, senator. good to see you. the administration really wants the budget bill and then tax reform passed by the end of the year. they got the budget bill. what do you think the likelihood of a tax bill by the end of the year is? >> i don't think it's very likely we will get it done this year. we need democrats and republicans working together. the democrats made it clear we will not support a program that will blow a hole in the deficit. their plan is scheduled to be a one $1.5 trillion additional debt. it will probably be larger than that. as you pointed out, we supported a tax proposal that helps the middle class. thejority of the aid goes to the highest income people. this is doomed to fail. fooling around with the 401(k) is a non-starter. >> they need 51 votes. i don't want to say your vote doesn't count. you need a new strategy if you want to block it. is it to meet with republicans that could be on the fence and pick them off? >> absolutely. there's been a

and what is remarkable to us at east to what extent some starting with senator carden were not thinking about implications of their actions. where am i wrong? eric, phraelease. >> there is surprise and there is surprise. those of us students of russian craft everyone we surprised that they did it and how? i would say no. evenly for myself i was a little surprised that they were made their hand as as they did and that made me suspect there could be a quid pro quo. no point poking a finger in somebody's eyes when responding to them poking it into your eye if you it is you hem know poking. so a strong hypothesis there has but another at level strategically we have have shorter corporate memories than russians. our administrations and policies continued to turn over more rapidly and they do forget where russia they don't. back it are we at war with my view of the russians is that if they are oing to go to war they want to weaken the opponent long before. distinction between warp and not is not the same as the we have.on >> george. >> i think it is never a wise he is tell your boss wrong. in

and what is remarkable to us at least to what extent some starting with senator carden were not thinking about predictable implications of their actions. where am i wrong? >> eric, please. >> there is surprise and there is surprise. those of us students of russian trade craft, were we surprised that they did it and how? i would say no. speaking only for myself i was a little surprised that they didn't hide their hand as much as they did, and that made me suspect there could be a quid pro quo. there is no point poking a finger in somebody's eyes when you are responding to them poking it into your eye if you don't let them know it is you poking. so a strong hypothesis there has to be looked at, but another level strategically we have have shorter corporate memories than russians. our administrations and policies tend to turn over more rapidly and they do forget, where in russia they don't. are we at war with russia, again my view of the russians is that if they are going to go to war they want to weaken the opponent long before. so the distinction between war and not is not the same as the

how are things going with the negotiations between carden and corker around iran, around iran and two had keir simmons awaiting general mattis' visit anticipating president trump next week. where do you stands there and what is your thinking of diplomacy? we are getting reports it's failing on the north korea part. >> well, harold, i am very concerned about the ways the president has under mined his secretary of state, secretary rex tillerson and made it harder and harder pursuing with north korea by engage income a personal barrage of attacks on kim jong-un the leader of north korea. i do think there are ongoing conversations between cramer corker and ranking member carden on the senate foreign relations committee about our path forward now president trump dessertified part of the jcpoa under a statute we have. it started off a period of 60 days where we will be looking hard in the senate at what else we could be doing to reign in iran's bad behavior in the region. i oppose renegotiating, reopening the jcpoa. all of our european allie versus communicated to us that they won't welcome

and senator, benjamin carden, one of the greatest, he was a very strong spokesman, very energetic spokesman doing more and more to change the russian process. i want to go to what arrack said. it's quite clear you can make a strong case that it's okay for us to interfere in domestic russian affairs because we want to bring democracy to russia. and it is not a case for them to interfere in american affairs because they're messing with american democracy. but you say that in warfare business. and when you're in the warfare business you kind of assume if you do something to them, they would want to do something to us. and what is quite remarkable, to me at at least, to what extent with some people on the hill starting with senator cardin, not thinking of predictable implications of their actions. where am i wrong? >> eric, please. >> well, i think there's surprise and surprise. were we surprised where they did this and how they did this, i would say no. my own personal, speaking only for myself, i was a little surprised that they didn't hide their hand as much as they did. and that made me sus

and senator carden reminded us there will always be a role for u.s. commodity in response to crisis. we can and should work together to find ways in advance of this coming farm bill to remove some of the harmful restrictions and requirements that i think are so inefficient. earlier this year senator corker and i visited the camp in northern ewe gone da. and grateful for you joining us in the trip. and sudan i had a chance to visit sites where people depend on assistance. i traveled to nigeria. tifs struck by an innovative program that this is an example. from save the children. when we talk about a cash assistance program, we're not talking about sending out envelopes full of cash. we're talking about this. this is a card from a real specific individual in a camp. that allows her to go out and buy locally. food that is appropriate for her and her children. and the changes the relationship between this refugee camp and the community around it. it provide for stability in the local market. it provide better relationship between the refugee community and

>> well, what happens next is there's a lot of outrage in washington senator mccain and carden came out challenging the secretary of state tillerson on this issue and lots of other people in washington are saying let's get this thing fixed bill browder should not be banned from coming to america. he's the kind of person we want in america, not banned from america. >> all right, bill, keep us updated, okay? >> thank you >> bill browder calling in from london all right. bitcoin is pulling back slightly today after hitting 6,000 fo the first time prince awe waly joining the doubters, more like haters we'll tell you what strong words he used and we'll also talk to the man who broke the latest turn in the bill o'reilly sexual harassment case. the "new york times" writer who unearthed the massive settlement next nah. not gonna happen. that's it. i'm calling kohler about their walk-in bath. my name is ken. how may i help you? hi, i'm calling about kohler's walk-in bath. excellent! happy to help. huh? hold one moment please...

. >> senator carden and senator blunt are working on a data security act that would provide a national standard and make it clear. if you look at the current law, it's not clear on these cyber breach notifications for people within an industry, a national standard like this, would that be helpful for your successors and other people in this industry? >> i believe so. >> let's talk about credit record freezes. it seems to me in the day of the app when my 6-year-old grandson knows how to get on and get unlimited access to apps, that a person who has data stored in one of these credit companies could go in an app to manage your credit scores, what keeps you from giving the ability to freeze an account? today if you want to freeze your account, you have to go to your firm, each of your competitors and others pay a fee, get a pin, remember the pin and freeze it. to unfreeze it, you have to go back and activate the entire process again. most americans are not going to be able to do that. what keeps the industry from moving toward a simple app that some individual can be informed about to pre

actually, senator carden and senator blount are working on a data security act that would provide a national standard and make it clear, if you look at the current law, it's not clear, on the cyber breach notifications for people in an industry and also between the companies and different agencies in the federal government. a national standard like this, would that be helpful for your predecessor or your successors and other people in this industry? >> i believe so. >> let's talk about credit report freezes. it seems to me that in the day of the app when my 6-year-old granson knows how to get on and get unlimited access to apps, a person who has data stored in one of these credit companies, can go on an app, and they're all out there, what keeps you from giving the ability to freeze an account, today, as i understand it, if you want to freeze your account, you have to go to your firm, each of your two biggest competitors and possibly others, pay a fee, get a pin, remember the pin, and then freeze it for your determination, but to unfreeze it, you have to go back and activate the entire proce
