and i know my core considering with his new year wishes here at the elysee this time with the diplomatic corps. now he talked about the need to have a cohesive a diplomatic line moving forward in twenty eighteen to make sure that france and that the exact message that needs to. for the coming year he did say that eighteen will be full of challenges number one at being security talked about the fight against. islamic terrorism saying that the war in syria and iraq will be coming to an end this year that doesn't mean it'll be the end of the problems that the international community will haveve to although how to w. keys afterwards or talk about immigration also being a challenge to security emigration. is an issue that there is a will test this young presidency here early on in twenty eighteen has put forward controversial proposals that are even bringing unease within on members of his party he talked about the need to. speed up the asylum process and be able to clearly identify economic migrants from those who will actuall. could receive a refugee status the president also talked about the nee

mentioned, the diplomatic corps has been devastated. we've lost 60% or so of our most senior and trusted career diplomats. recruitment for the state department is down. you worry that some foreign leader might try and take advantage of a military that's still active but not being paid and demoralized. we are in a situation where of the 600 or so key policy positions, one year into the administration, more have had nobody nominated than have actually been filled. that means that we have world that looks on the u.s. in a very different way, can't trust it, doesn't know where it's going, and can't believe that we are in the midst of this kind of embarrassment. >> i wonder if you view the women's movement and the massive marches, almost unreported this year, but the massive marches that commemorated the first marches last year. do you think that in a way is a political position or some kind of political turning point, game-changer, in united states and around the world right now? >> what you saw in the marches is exactly what you've seen ref

bill: the vice president and the senate, the diplomatic corps, i do not think that introduced them yet. we used to be going let's go, move them in. because it takes so long and we were running close to the wire. host: at the same time it is kind of hard to tell numbers of congress and senators what to do/ what is the protocol, you have the senate that comes in first, there is jared kushner and a ivanka trump, with a be sitting in the first lady's box as well? donald: the family would set together. host: what is the protocol, you have the senate and the have the joint chiefs, you have the .upreme court bill: the o-matic court. they take up a lot of seats. tour.lomatic they take up a lot of seats. donald: they move in extra chairs in the front. there is no vacant space by the time they are finished. host: and then the cabinet. bill: they come down and shaking hands. these are all introduced by someone from, kathleen joyce from our office. let's just listen in, because i think they're probably going to introduce some of these other groups as well. the president is going to be leaving shor

david: disruptive in washington, is it within the diplomatic corps? he has anday, ambassador to panama, a former marine, career officer, who resigned as a matter of principle. it is absolutely disruptive with our diplomats overseas. the state department was furious over this, that the top official in haiti have been contacted by the haitian president to discuss this. been hoping for some sort of apology. not just in haiti but africa, latin america, a number of countries now, asking, are we, too, in that category, how do you feel about us? it is enormously disruptive to a lot of partnerships that the u.s. needs around the world. shery: of course, this comes at a time when president trump is making headlines, his physical exam today. when do we expect the results, will we also get a psychiatric exam, as some have asked for? the white house spokesperson was asked specifically about a psychiatric evaluation, he said there would not be one. the president, like all americans, has the right to keep his medical information private. the information we receive i

the reason is the military and the diplomatic corps have the tools they need. >> pass knowledge the senate may be tougher in light of the instances of the government intrusion. like the i.r.s. in 2013 tar getting political beliefs or president trump claiming his own campaign was illegally monitored. >> it's important it's done right. it's important where a warrant is necessary a warrant be applied. >> in word when the senate might vote on the fisa renewal but we heard from rand paul who says he will filibuster anything similar to the house version unless an amendment is added. that would also clued another layer of personal privacy protection for americans. live on capitol hill, scott thuman, abc7 news. alison: thank you. the trump administration is allowing state to require those on medicaid to work in receive health benefits. the administration says only able-bodied adults will be impacted by this. children, pregnant women, elderly and the disabled will be exempt. ten states submitted proposal for the work requirement for department of health and human services. larry: president trump wi

you are not hearing the reports out this morning that the diplomatic corps from the u.s. is being called into the offices of south africa. they're not angry because of the word. they're angry because he said why do we have to have these people and not more people from norway. he denies it. isn't that the problem here? >> yeah. i think he has had that problem for a while. whether he used it or not is sort of -- the most recent example and maybe the most extreme fort moment. but he spent his campaign, you know, basically offending all different types of minority groups. >> his record is clear. but now there is a new dynamic, kaitl kaitlyn. he has people working with him on it. it strains credulity. you are sitting with tom cotton and others and sentiment like this is expressed and you don't remember. if they wanted to cover up for the president, they would have covered it at jump. they would have said i was there, he never said this, let's move. how is this playing for cotton and purdue? >> well, look how it goes. they went from saying they don't recall it to insisting he d

not just the but mine nnd since it -- the benig absence, but there is the hostility toward the diplomatic corps you have people leaving and people sensing they are not wanted. you have people who believe they are being sort of starved out, if you will, that there is not actually a desire to avoid the yurok receipt, the deep state, whatever, for service officers. that is a generational challenge that we will not easily recover from. it will take a commitment from whoever the next team is, however they are built, they will have to make it a priority if they want to build that back. watch the military a lot, the u.s. department of defense, i think there are a lot of good things going on today that the dod is doing, but it is an instrument. it is not the end state of policy, and they know that. and there they are out there alone. how is he supporting the military to have them out there alone, executing an afghan policy which seems to have no purpose? the president recently said we were trying to negotiate with the taliban, but then there was confusion about that. and then counter isis, which he gav

it had its own military no diplomatic corps. off in thee felt state department interfered.e has been in the middle of, "let's get rid of these people." inrican taxers have invested a lot of money. you have to really be smart, educated, and thoughtful to get in there. why would we destroy thisjewel of influence we have all over the world of soft power? overall, this is part of the effort to destroy our government. two americans, this is our government. it is not the government, it is our government. donald trump is our employee. he is not a power unto himself. he took an oath to faithfully execute the laws. he is not doing that. amy: your point on rex tillerson is important him referred to as one of the adults in the room when it comes to north korea, the one president trump attacked when he said we want to back channel dreck we did north korea. you are saying that as ceo of exxonmobil, he did not want these ambassadors getting in his depopulatinge is the state department, but it is also supposed to be the place diplomacye toolbox of as opposed to the pentagon. diplomacy is

diplomatic corps? ambassador to panama, he had given his resignation in december, but clearly because of his problems with the trump administration. he had said that, you know, if he was duty bound to resign if he couldn't follow the president no matter what part he was for many years. but on these comments by the president, look, it's very difficult for u.s. diplomats right now. they are being called in by the host governments. not only botswana and haiti, but also senegal and others, the african union putting out a very tough statement. i think what u.s. diplomats are trying to tell their host governments is we affirm the u.s. commitment to your country. we respect all nations, and, you know, the relationship, the cooperation the u.s. has with these countries transcends what the president does or doesn't say. so pretty much, just ignore it. focus on the relationship that we have that transcends any president and any comments of this president. >> madeleine albright tweeted out this statement here, "i

closely in this controversy, and now piling on as it were against the president's comments and the diplomatic corpsyou say, today the south african department of international relations cooperation will be hauling in the head of the embassy for what is seeing why he is dressing down, asking them to explain the comments attributed to president trump. there is a big debate in the u.s. of whether these comments were racist or even whether the president of the united states is a racist. far less debate on the african continent that i have seen, the assumption for many africans on social media, just people i'm speaking across the country is the president is a racist, and that is just the latest comments attributed to him that really convince the mind of africans. this is a very challenging moment for american diplomats in the country as illustrated by that latest move by the south african government. cyril? >> how do you think ultimately this ends up impacting u.s. relations on the african continent? beyond the symbolism and calling in the number two of the embassy? >> well, a lot of it is symbolic, inc
