joining us now, washington, d.c. mayor muriel bowser. post" calls her the mayor who hates guns and if there's a label for a mayor, that's a good one to have. >> thank you for having us and for covering this great event. we see thousands of kids coming to washington, joining our kids from washington, d.c., demanding we get federal action on guns, we couldn't be happier to support them. >> mayor this is not just, we talk about guns in schools, but there are kids here from cities around the country like chicago, we've been talking about, who say, let's just get smart about guns in general. it's not just in the classroom. it's outside the classroom where a lot of kids in this country die from gun violence as well. >> absolutely. we're here. not only to support safety in schools, but safety in cities across america we had a young man in our city killed, zahir kelly, whose brother is going to be here to remember him. we want to have common-sense gun laws, there's no reason to have assault-style weapons in our city, or bump stocks, high-capacit

d.c. now we can talk tomorrow on bashar he is out as there is senior political analyst he's joining us from london i'm wondering what you think now and not for the first time all is not well in washington d.c. . indeed to say the least as it were and clearly the president has in for size more than once he's comfortable with this order he likes chaos he said and in so many ways while he does enjoy functioning in a disorderly environment the world does not and american system does not like this order if anything the strength of the american democracy an american establishment and american foreign policy is precisely in the fact that it is an orderly system a twork all the time a will or oiled machine as it were but president trump clearly likes to function more as he where as he was or as he is in his office at trump tower in new york is that as a president of the united states and in that sense he prefers to have his family close to him and his close associates and then his lawyers and all of them should be at the ha. for his brilliance and and great ideas and looks and and so on and so fort

that's arlette saenz live from d.c. for us. thanks, arlette. >>> president trump is shaking up his legal team. he's hired a fierce critic of the fbi, former u.s. attorney and tv pundit, joe digenova has claimed that the justice department tried to frame the president. he's also called current fbi director christopher wray an embarrassment. and from the russia investigation, the president's lawyers have reportedly turned over written documents about the the firings of james comey and michael flynn. "the washington post" says the move is part of an effort to limit the scope of any future face-to-face interview between the president and the special counsel robert mueller. >>> breaking news in texas where authorities are investigating where another explosion is linked to a mystery bomber. the fbi son the scene at a fedex facility in schertz. one person was injrd in the blast. the package had an austin mailing address. sunday marked the fourth explosion in austin. that one set off by a tripwire. former fbi officials steve gomez says

arlette saenz in d.c. for us. thanks, arlette. >> our thanks. >>> plenty of countries will be seeking exemption from the president's tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. he signed an order for the tariffs surrounded by workers in those industries. the 25% tariff on steel and 10% on aluminum won't take effect for two weeks. the president is leaving himself room for changes. >> i'm sticking with 10 and 25 initially. i'll have a right to go up, or down, depending on the country. i'll have the right to drop out countries or add countries. we just want fairness. >> for now, mexico and canada are exempt. a nonpartisan study suggests the tariffs will result in 150,000 jobs lost in the first year alone. >>> the president's former campaign chairman will head to trial in july. paul manafort pleaded not guilty in a virginia court. to tax and bank fraud charges. he's accused of laundering $30 million through offshore accounts in an attempt to shield it from the irs. manafort faces a separate trial in september. he'll wear t

tara palmeri from d.c. for us, thanks, tara. >>> a u.s. official says the nuclear powered cruise missile that russian president vladimir putin unveiled thursday is not operational and has crashed in testing but still putin's rhetoric and the video he showed depicting an attack on florida is raising concern about a new cold war. in a new interview with nbc, putin called any talk of a cold war, quote, propaganda but he did say his new weapons are ready. >> every single weapon system discussed today easily surpasses and avoids an anti-missile defense system. the test was excellent. some of them still have to be fine-tuned and worked on. others are already available to the troops and already are battle ready. >> reporter: putin blamed the united states for starting a new arms race when it pulled out of the anti-ballistic missile treaty in 2002 and analysts point out that putin's tough talk comes just ahead of the election which he is virtually guaranteed to win. >>> here a jury in chattanooga, tennessee, has convicted a former school bus drive

d.c. bring us up to date. in other news berlin or thirties of circulated a brochure among kindergarten staff that focuses on such issues as transgender identity and same sex marriage the booklet designed to help teachers explain these sensitive topics to children a spot in privacy be to all of it has a story. it is a city famed for its liberal and inclusive attitudes to sex and sexuality. but conservatives in the german capital are upset at a new guide for kindergarten teachers that they say goes into too much detail and is aimed at kids that are too young the idea is to give educators the information they need to be sensitive to children coming from non-binary families say children of same sex parents or transgender parents it doesn't have the most catchy of names but what it has done is certainly ruffle some feathers among those in angela merkel's c.d.u. party children should be allowed to be children and not be confronted with things like these it's also come in for criticism from the opposition alternative

. >> reporter: stephanie ramos live from d.c. for us, thafks. >>> abc news learned the recently fired deputy director at the fbi once opened a secret investigation into whether jeff sessions committed perjury. andrew mccabe launched it last year into when sessions misled congress about his interactions with the russians while he worked with the trump campaign. the investigation was ultimately closed with no action taken. one source says sessions was not aware of the probe when he fired mccabe but a lawyer representing sessions declined to confirm that. >> reporter: sources say president trump is furious after someone in the white house leaked details of his call to vladimir putin. "the washington post" reports the president ignored a written warning in capital letters from his advisers not to congratulate putin on his re-election. the white house says someone could be fired over the leak. only a handful of people knew what was on those briefing notes. >> i really hate that there's someone in his inner circle that's willing to leak this

and as the book is live for us in washington d.c. it tell us a little bit more about george need or himself and what this means for the wider mueller probe well barbara george nader is really no stranger to washington he's been sort of a shadowy fringe player here over the last three decades he was a back channel negotiator with syria during the clinton administration and more recently he's become an advisor to the u.a.e. he's also been a frequent visitor to the white house since president trump took office and this is at a time when the president has been praising the u.a.e. for its fight against terrorism and has been siding with it and saudi arabia in that blockade against qatar now what does this mean as far as the more investigation is concerned will it sounds like the special council is now casting his net out even farther he's not just focusing on whether russia tried to influence the election and influence the administration it looks like he's now looking at other countries and as well and that could mean that this probe could

let's get more on this now we're joined by peter hacking latin america analyst he's live for us in washington d.c. very good to have you with us on al-jazeera mr he came so as we've been reporting. has been under a lot of pressure and scrutiny for a while now so why has he decided to resign now and do you think well i think is a support is virtually or evaporated the prospects of his coming out of the impeachment process still president or disappearing and in this recent video that you've reported on. made it almost impossible for him to remain as president and as as we've said vice president of the sky expected to be sworn in as the president what could all of this mean for you know what has been one of latin america's most stable country as well who. after the revelations about federal paul bocuse in ski being involved with a company that was involved with the owner of record company. it was clear that he had become virtually a lame duck and many of his supporters were disappearing his initial response was not as frank and open and transparent as it might have been and it was a slow period but.

joined by harry manned leverett former white house national security official she's joining us live from washington d.c. . great to have you with us as always on al-jazeera so is this victory this resounding victory or referendum do you think on putin's fall and if so can we expect more of the same what can we expect from the. i think it's unquestionably referendum a mandate that lattimer putin has won in russia i don't think even his opponents really dispute that though he has his critics there is clearly a depth of popularity for vladimir putin in russia he is now the longest serving ruler of russia since stalin so it's quite an achievement and i think he was he will continue with the policies that he has pursued that has led to a resurgence of russia both within the country. russia is now our alternative to the united states in the middle east and elsewhere they're running i think it will drawing closer to china and really give the united states a run for our money but they do have their problems both domestically and internationally and sometimes these problems are actually linked if you take one o

d.c. within sight of the u.s. capitol where hundreds of thousands of protesters are hoping politicians will be listening. the event called march for lines is being replicated across the us where the rallies in cities including boston he said how can florida the scene of february and school shooting that killed seventeen people listening to and the gallagher who is in washington d.c. for us and the you covered that dreadful shooting last month in florida that is indeed what spot told these protests with them really leading the charge did they fail is a feeling that galvanizing opinion by getting someone. well i think you know their compassion and their eloquence has led them to this day and it's a long way away from that fateful day on february the fourteenth when we first reacted to news of the shooting at the marjorie stoneman douglas high school and these students of you know gone through the grief of losing fourteen of their fellow classmates and three teachers and it's all come to this day of course it's not the first time we've seen a march of this size in washington d.c. back in the year two thousand there was the million mom march which many said was the beginnin

capital washington d.c. for us thanks for coming on the show before we get to bolton and iran and north korea and china what role as john bolton in sacking a previous boss of the o.p.c. w w m d. this was one of bolton's early. successes shall we say when he was at the united nations in two thousand and two. he was only there briefly and he was playing a major role as a leading state department official in charge ironically enough. disarmament affairs in that role he decided that this is in two thousand and two this is in the run up to the u.s. british war against iraq and the then chief of the organization for the prevention of chemical weapons brazilian diplomat named jose stanley was going to be a potential problem why because it was danny was actually negotiating with the iraqi government with saddam hussein's government trying to push them to join the organization if they had agreed which they were a legit lee on the verge of doing that there were a lot of rumors at the time that the iraqis were prepared to joi

president wants to change amazon's tax treatment let's go to mike hanna who is in washington d.c. for us so mike tell us what's been happening on wall street. well certainly bad news for amazon shareholders the stock has slid in close to five percent in trading during the day that some thirty three billion dollars out of the pockets of shareholders now this all following a report by x.e. are saying that president trump has got amazon in his crosshairs that the report says he's upset with taking some form of action against amazon one of these could be looking at its tax collection priorities finding some ways in which extra tax could be charged off amazon's of businesses so certainly a major situation for amazon just based on a report that the president is targeting it that my quote reasons with the president have to want to target amazon well the president has tweeted before in august last year for example he put out a tweet saying that amazon was costing us jobs he also according to the accessory port has been speaking to friends and business men who reportedly have told him that amazon

and speak to mike hanna who is in washington d.c. for us mike what else do we know. well the district judge in manhattan george daniels has ruled that he does have standing in the case brought against saudi arabia now this case has been brought by some two thousand survivors and relatives of victims families of the nine eleven attacks now this case was previously rejected by the same judge back in two thousand and fifteen the difference between then and now is a bull passed by congress and twenty sixteen sponsors of terrorism act now basically what that says is changing u.s. law of that actions can only be brought against foreign states by u.s. citizens if it is shown that they are linked to terrorism formally by the u.s. government now the twenty sixteen bill actually changed that and said that u.s. citizens have standing against any entity or country that they believe is responsible for acts of terror on u.s. soil so the judge is allowing this case to go ahead what's going to happen next there will be numerous appeals there are many appeal processes to go through b

political commentator i'm board member of republican women for progress she joins us from washington d.c. great to have you with us what do you make of the republican house intelligence committee findings while i do think that this is a bit shady in some ways laura because of the fact that the investigation is obviously still continuing and there is then roughly about one thousand indictments from that so basically this house intelligence committee is coming out and saying there's nothing to see here one of course there is way more to this story and i would just like to point out some of these republican house committee members on the intelligence committee are ones who were in fact saying things such as hillary clinton needed to be investigated for her e-mails and for her connections to the clinton foundation and her relationship with foreign governments and all they're willing to say about this current president is he acted in appropriately and maybe made some bad judgment calls when his campaign officials made these knowing advancements when they were meeting with some of these russia

doctor of david chalke and service to our country our brand is following this story joining us out of washington d.c. so tell us more about why exactly the veteran affairs secretary was fired. well you know shelton resigned after months and weeks of speculation that he was on the outs with president trump and we've seen that president trump likes to follow the practice of sort of letting senior officials who he has lost favor with his he has lost confidence in i should say sort of dangle slowly in the wind for a while before finally forcing them out of office and case he had some expensive european travel with his wife that really appear to be more like tourism than official business is and it was of course all on the taxpayers' tab he also left or required some of his official aides to run personal errands for him and there was grumbling in conservative circles about can not moving fast enough with their goal of partially privatizing the veterans affairs administration now running jackson the doctor is going to replace him has no obvious. experience in running a huge bureaucracy and the veterans' a

d.c. and into a pennsylvania field nearly three thousand people died mike hanna covering the story joining us from washington d.c. so this is a development in what is still likely to be a very lengthy legal process mike. a lengthy process indeed what the judge has found by what he said was a very narrow margin is that he does have jurisdiction to hear this case brought by survivors and victims of those killed or injured in the nine eleven attacks the judge was the same one who heard a similar case back in two thousand and fifteen and threw that particular case out saying that individual u.s. citizens could not bring legal action against foreign countries however he made very clear in his judgment on this day that this was changed by the justice against sponsors of terrorism act passed by congress in two thousand and sixteen which does permit u.s. citizens to bring cases against foreign countries should they suspect them of aiding or assisting terror attacks within the us itself but certainly there's a long process to hear this judgment likely to be appealed by lawyers for saudi arabia also. t

you be talking to the agencies that do use those funds and make sure they're being used in the highest possible ways? in d.c. for our childcare subsidy program, we have local funds that are used as well as federal childcare development, block grant funds and tana funds and they're all used as part of the subsidy program. for the pre-k enhancement program, we layer all that with additional local dollars. we think about how we use those funds in terms of per-people funding people receive as well as around grants that are used to improve quality and other types of supports. so i think every state has a version of those funds. they may motte be in the same amounts or allocation, but talking to the partner agencies we use those funds to tap into them. we strengthen our partnerships with other agencies even though we have a lot of this work under our purview. we talk with the defendant health about maternal home visiting policies and department of behavioral health. i think those partnerships are one thing. i think the second thin is -- helping providers and schools think about what are the things that children n

change amazon's tax treatment let's go to my cabin now who is following developments in washington d.c. for us so tell us a little bit more about what happened on wall street. well it was a disaster for those investing in amazon at the close of the day the value of amazon shares had dropped by nearly five percent of that amounts to sun thirty three billion dollars lost and all of this because of the reported musing of a president in which he was quoted in a news report as saying that he is looking for ways in which to take action against amazon now no coincidence perhaps as well but amazon has been the subject of tweets by the president before he's accused in the past of costing u.s. jobs he's also twin demos on with the washington post now these are both earned by jeff b.'s us so there could be a personal element to these reported public statements that it would appear by president trump so mike i guess you sort of explain one of the reasons why the president could be targeting amazon but publicly what what could be his other reason. well the report is goes into quite some detail about what h

hundred fifty six countries burundi and we're joined now by the co-author of that report the us economist jeffrey d.c. x. thanks for being with us this morning jeffrey jeffrey what makes people happy but. people are happy their lives are. in order when the economy is ok when they're in good health when they have friends and social support when their governments are not run away correct and when people are expressing decency of values generosity actually it's a cliche but it happens to be true that giving is better than receiving and it shows up in why some countries are happier than others were generosity is or good evidence those countries are also reflecting higher life satisfaction with that spirit of generosity behind the nordic countries once again dominating the list. yeah the nordic countries are the heavyweight champions of the world it well being i think it is what germany you call the social market philosophy what it scandinavia they call the social democratic philosophy it is that everybody should have a decent law that there should be a good good benefits make ation time leave time for fo

john hendren is live for us in washington d.c. so john tell us a bit more about this george nader and what indeed needs to the whole. well the more probe is now looking into the connections between the u.a.e. and the u.s. specifically with george nader they're looking at whether money was funneled from the u.s. into the trump campaign head of the election and whether there has been undue influence by the u.a.e. at a time when the u.s. policy has tilted toward that nation netter himself a is a lebanese american businessman who's been on the fringes of diplomacy for many years he was used by the clinton administration is a back channel with syria in the one nine hundred ninety s. and then after the iraq war began in two thousand and three he was pushing business for blackwater that's the business this security business run by erik prince erik prince just happens to be the brother of betsy device that was president trump's education secretary now prince is has also been named in news reports as trying to form an unofficial back channe

states and d.c. -- excuse me, across 50 states and d.c., the organization called results for american identified 162 promises practices for building and using evidence to improve student outcomes as it reviewed its state plans. we know conversations about promising practices continue today. they didn't end when we submitted our plans. you can point to d.c., illinois, new york, north dakota and many more states in which committees and sub committeys are continuing to meet to talk through implementation and what does that look like. illinois, under the leadership of tony smith, recognizes the importance of school and district leadership to turn around low performing schools. and he is working to put them in the lead through an illinois empower improvement process. beginning with the needs assessment and an equity analysis, schools and districts will work with their communities to create a plan that is based in evidence and data that meets the needs of their local students. in south carolina, our superintendent molly spearman provided a catalog of resources for local schools and districts offering transformation coaches to support schools in i
