. >> it still difficu's still dif, no?ah. ♪ >> walking anywhere in san sebastian with juan and marie arzac is like walk tling throug chicago with michael jordan. he's the godfather, universally boulevard and respected. >> he's like elvis. >> why are the basque unique among their neighbors obsessi obsessively insist on such high quality ingredients for everything? >> people have a passion for food here. >> i don't know. >> it's always been this way? >> until about 80 years ago, there wasn't a lot of this stuff written down. >> we're not walking by here. gambara, my favorite place. i come here every time like a heat-seeking missile. >> here's where you'll find juan every sunday. >> this is the first place anyone ever brought me. the ham with mushrooms are amazing. crab tartlets, extraordinary. but this, the house specialty, what they're most famous for is the be all and end all for me. seared whild mushrooms and flagre with an egg yolk draped over the top. it's perfect. there is no improving this dish. >> now nobody talks. o

. >> it's a meeting with a lot of difficu difficult, hard edges for the white house in a week in whichneed the opposite. erdogan has a deserved reputation for growing authoritarian policies, his government's apparent contacts with mike flynn before he came into the white house, are being investigated, that is an issue. i think the most important thing that will be discussed is the collision course over strategy for syria they're saying you're proposing to people that we regard as terrorists. they decided to go forward with a syrian grown, by the end of the day there may be one more big flap for this administration. >> it is no coincidence, and i want you to weigh in on the criticism of the leak from the intelligence communities, you know that area better than anyone, on the leak, not on the fact that the president did share without denial classified information that is his right when he thinks it is appropriate. the question is was it appropriate for him to share that information? >> it has been so far confirmed that a senior national security council official, was concerned enough abo

nato, the heart of the alliance or eu, key partnership for the united states and you wind up saying difficure playing into russia. germany is one of our closest partners. >> i can see some of the president's allies and saying this is not a russia thing. this is the president pushing the trade agenda he got elected on every chance. and admiral, one other issue is the leaks. great britain is very upset about leaks to the u.s. press from u.s. intelligence about the investigation into the manchester bombing. the president spoke out harshly. he said they will be investigated. your take on this. great britain's outrage is disproportionate to me compared to past investigations we have seen in france and brussels and in orlando. these investigations get information to the press. >> i actually don't think the outrage in the uk is misplaced. they are right to be angry. they were in active manhunt. the scene was still a crime scene. going over freorensics. the president is right to be aggressive in terms of wanting it investigated and potentially prosecuted. i don't think you have much choice in issui

korea, and also, the relationships with everybody in the region are fraught with difficu difficultiesal, military and even monetarily. >> well, there is also the issue of the missile defense system. this has been an ongoing issue for all sides involved. just in the last few days, north korea released what it said was satellite imagery of the terminal high altitude areas of a system that had been deployed with the u.s. in south korea, and that is construed as a very bold move in itself. to say that, look, we are wa watching wh you are doing, and is not without controversy. moon jae in said that he is open to negotiation, and as far as he is concerned, it is not a done deal and one of the issues that he campaigned on. moon is a liberal and changes the entire political landscape of what has been for the better part of the last decade of a kon scon ser vative decade. and the so moon saying from day one that thadd is not a done deal, and that he is open to negotiation with the u.s., but it is also a message to china who has been fiercely opposed to the missile defense system from to get go
