president don. trump says he will not recertify the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal which saw iran show of its disputed nuclear program in exchange for the easing of international sanctions now trump accused iran of violating the spirit of the agreement but stopped short of canceling the deal instead has called on u.s. lawmakers and international partners to fix its flaws now every ninety days the u.s. president has to certify to congress that iran is complying with the agreement trump had done that twice before but now has refused to sign ahead of a sunday deadline congress must now decide whether to reimpose sanctions and scrap the deal here's some of what trump had to say importantly iran is not living up to the spirit of the deal so today in recognition of the increasing menace posed by iran and after extensive consultations with our allies i am announcing a new strategy to address the full range of iran's destructive actions i am announcing today that we cannot and will not make this certification w

i think don trump is quite right when he says that men when they're amongst themselves talk like that and even you know soft progressive blah blah men like myself i'm in a rock group it's like football kind of yeah there is that kind of talk going on and i don't sensing and of course. it spills over into the way you treat women and you can compartmentalize it you know it's there it's true and that's why i think it's so disgraceful that you should defend it quite frankly i think we should be much more self-critical and we actually need help from women to sort of come out as men and say not say oh women are just as bad or women bring it upon themselves or their sell their bodies in hollywood which is stupid i mean no hollywood only to not have outstanding how you saw and it's not true that you can't ignore it if women. are in a structural situation where the choice between remaining. poor poor without a job whatever or a menial job or possibly advancing themselves by by by demeaning of those at the same time you can't accuse the women of taking advantage of that you have to use the syst

whether it wants to reimpose sanctions upon iran or agree new legislation relating to the accord don trump said he wants his country out of the nuclear agreement even though it's widely acknowledged iran has not violated the terms we agreed on the fact that iran is instead vocals launched the year pure deal on the nuclear deal the agreement is delivering they are important for compliance technically watching all violations of the nuclear rights i'm all for agreements but that is a bad one they have not lived up to the spirit of their agreement they are not living up to the spirit of their agreement. well their own deal was hammered out back in twenty fifteen by the so-called p five plus one group consisting of russia the united states china france germany and iran it followed nine years of intense talks and was hailed as a major breakthrough the former head of the u.n. nuclear watchdog spoke exclusively to r.t. he told us it's important to preserve the deal. the settlement and deal about the iran was a great achievement and it was achievement in israeli or by the p five in the security cou

president don trump decertifying this agreement the u.s. congress could impose new sanctions and that's exactly why big banks are actually reluctant to backing investments in iran the e.u. doesn't want this to damage its new business ties so the european commission wants the european investment bank to get directly involved with business in iran the individual member states are also taking action at the beginning of the year germany backed up its company's efforts in iran with safeguards totaling four hundred thirty million euros and now the damage export credit agency has offered one hundred percent assurances to danish companies exporting to iran these efforts could now be in danger as the world's number one economy changes its stance for iran trumps announcement could damage its economy the country's exports more than quadrupled following the end of economic sanctions exports to europe more than tripled in twenty sixteen and there are a lot of companies especially in transportation and construction have benefited from the deal. the chees

worldwide criticism of a decision by the us president to decertify a deal on iran's nuclear program don trump says tehran hasn't lived up to the two thousand and fifteen agreement which restricts iran's nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of sanctions iran's president hassan rouhani has responded to trump speech he called it a pile of delusional allegations and the leaders of france germany and britain are warning the u.s. against undermining the accord well in a moment we'll have more reaction from there on but first here's our report by white house correspondent kimberly hulk it he's often threatened to tear out the landmark deal with iran but in the end u.s. president donald trump stopped short of pulling out of the twenty fifteen agreement to limit its nuclear program for now and even though his own administration has twice certify that iran is complying with the deal he now says he won't do it again i am announcing today that we cannot and will not make this certification. we will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence more terror and the very r

to push you a little bit, how is it is that democrats with cry foul at this new infamous don joirl meeting at trumpower wanting dirt on hillary clinton. but you are saying this piece isn't okay? what's the difference? >> the difference in the two is don junior took a meeting with somebody who clearly had ulterior motives. and compiling it in hawaii that does the facts in unified cohesive way. >> but foreign nationals, you can argue, but still. >> this is collecting and gathering information that's fact based part of opposition research part of what you do. the person that don trump junior met with was somebody who had i'll in i'll intentions two totally different. >> they are not different. they are similar. because christopher steele who was the author of the stuff in the dossier we are talking about came from british intelligence, mi 6 so democrats were buying negative information about trump from essentially a foreign intelligence officer. well, you can say they haven't been an enemy. but we've never gone to war with russia. so i think when you try to argue one was worse than the other. in the e

president donald trump's recent rhetoric against pyongyang the election of president don trump has made a lot of people feel very uncomfortable with the fact that he alone can authorize the use of nuclear weapons and there's nothing people can do to stop him. and there you can be with a tweet. who seems to be taking rational decisions very quickly. and it's sort of not listening to expertise is it just puts a spotlight on our spotlight on what this is what nuclear weapons really mean. there are no right hands were for the wrong weapons russia says it hopes the u.s. will make a balanced decision on whether to remain engaged in the landmark international deal to curb iran's nuclear program president trump has accused iran of not living up to the spirit of the twenty fifteen deal and is expected to refuse to endorse it next week congress will then decide if it will impose new economic sanctions on tehran to deal involves iran receiving huge sanctions relief in return for restricting its nuclear program a funeral with full military honors has been held in northern iraq for the veteran kurdi

yorker and wnyc all coming together to investigating what was a fraud investigation with ivanka trump and donr that never went anywhere with the trump soho hotel. >>> also russians involved in that. take a look at it. that will wrap things up for me this hour. "deadline: white house" starts right now. >>> hi, everyone. it's 4:00 in new york. in his third public response to an nbc news report that secretary of state rex tillerson called him a moron and

meeting at trump tower where the campaign expected to get some incriminating information about hillary clinton? >> yeah. i mean, it's really interesting that you mention that, don, because there are some commonalities. so once again u the use of cutouts. so you don't have any official russian, you know, government person going to trump tower, because that would be way too high profile. so they pick somebody like the lawyer who it turns out does have pretty robust keks to the kremlin, but they send her in, and that all lends itself to one other element of this which the russians are just so good at which is simply deny ability. so if she has not already said this, she will be soon. you'll start hearing words out of moscow like american russia afoebs. you'll hear things like cold war approach. you will hear things like fantasy. this is -- the russians will look at all this and say this is completely made up. there's no proof here whatsoever regardless whether it's the trump junior meeting or papadopoulos. they've got it deny ability which they know plays very well in places like the united states where we say we do need to hear both sides of the argument. they ta

i'm absolutely confident he's looking at this new piece of information regarding that meeting with don trumpr and will use this towards trying to seek more information. >> 20 seconds to you rick, do you think it's going to be the inner circle we'll hear about on monday? >> no, i really don't. and i think in the end you probably don't get direct coordination with the trump campaign. there actually is nothing in the law that makes collusion illegal. conspiracy is illegal. not reporting of financial disclosure, there is a lot of illeg illegalalty. so the beat will go on. >> we'll look for obstruction of justice, that seems to be the thing that most are watching. thank you so much. all right. have a good saturday. >>> naacp issues warning for african americans flying on american airlines. we'll talk to two passengers that were kicked off their flight by the airline. what started as a passion... ...has grown into an enterprise. that's why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. now, i'm earning unlimited 2% cash back on every purchase i make. everything. what's in your wallet? (gasp)

stronger potentially average hourly earnings for some wage growth >> on the fed front we focused on who don trumpnate to be the next fed chair, if it is the market's expected choice at the moment in terms of mr. powell, does that mean more of the same >> yes, i think so if you get jay powell which i think would be the best choice and what the market is looking for you're going to get a continuation of yellen-esque policies with a little more hawkish tint jay powell will sail through both chambers of approval, he'll get bipartisan support which will be a good win for the administration and the president wants a good win john taylor very smart individual would probably make a good fed chair but much more hawkish path and face challenges >> what this means for the dollar from here, it was on a weakening path much of the year but enjoyed a strong rebound of late >> yes, you're right, will last week alone up 1.2%. now rallied back almost 4% it was down 10%, 11% at its low point earlier this year. i think you see more strength of the dollar into year end, as we wind through kind of this tax reform and

know that the russians were supporting donald trump and that june 3rd e-mail from ron goldstone to don trump jr., it was pretty clear. it was very and police that it the russian government was supporting donald trump. >> prosecutors often have more information than the people they interview. when mueller does sit down with these folks, what does he know that they might not know he has in the digital paper trail? >> there's all kinds of things. i'm assuming they're getting all these computers. there is a whole operation in san antonio that was constructed to do exactly that. this data mining operation that was targeting voters in very specific districts. he is going to know exactly who was targeted. how it relates to the facebook and twitter targeting. and he is going to be able to ask very pointed questions about who actually came up with this strategy and who put it. there's a lot of things he will know including these national security wiretaps and the information that's been developed by the national security agencies over the last year and a half. >> yeah. always appreciate your expertis

trump do it this? none of us will ever truly know. but we have seen throughout the campaign and through his first eight or nine months in aufs right now, don, that donald trump doesn't know how to express empathy in a way that normal people do. donald trump doesn't realize that his job as leader of free world, president of the united states, commander and chief of the armed forces requires that you have to be the bigger man. not some of the time, all of the time. that sometimes you have to take a punch in the nose and bleed a little bit and walk away from the fight quotes unquote as a loser. what we saw from donald trump in the past 12 hours or so is that he's incapable of doing it, don. >> colonel, you've made several calls notifying families. is there a good way to nak a call like that? >> it's very tough, deny, because you're trying put yourself until that family's shoes. you want to be able to not only tell them that you feel for them, but also explain to them what is next, you know. you have certain procedures that the military follows and you want to explain those procedures. and sometimes it isn't the right time to do that, but what

don lemon. cnn tonight starts right now. >>> new developments tonight in the las vegas investigation and the top republican questioning president trump's fitness for office. this is cnn tonight. i'm don lemon. i want you to listen to what senator bob corker tells "the new york times". >> i do worry that he's -- sometimes i feel like he's on a reality show of some kind, you know, when he's talking about these big foreign policyissues. and, you know, he doesn't realize that, you know, that we could be heading towards world war three with the kind of comments that he's making. >> it is impossible to overstate what a big deal this is. this is not politics as usual. this is a respected member of the president's own party on the record saying he's afraid the commander in chief could blunder into world war thee. think about that. so is senator corker saying what others in his party are thinking and do they have an obligation to speak up too? plus new developments in the investigation of the vegas massacre to tell you about. police making a major revision to the timeline of the shooting. they now say the security guard who was wounded was sho

practically crying with laughter say his wife's work and then not even a month later he just sent don trump jr a link to his father saying the p word to remind him of what his father is like and i guess his father supposed to be bad because he used this word even though he just . to use the p. word over and over again with a special needs woman he even used this the word about his own wife now i'm a thing jimbo interview when stern wasn't funny i'm saying it was. but him getting all self righteous after and being so vulgar himself that is not so funny the biggest irony there is that also in the interview jim bill says he's not going to get political i was so happy when he said that but then not even a month later he's out there not only getting political but blatantly shilling for one side immediately alienating so many people and dividing the country which is exactly what we don't need if you want to talk health care jim will have bernie sanders am rand paul on your show to represent both sides or how about you just take a bunch of your millions open up a clinic in compton and you can tell

don. and it was donald trump misquoting roger goodell.id the players had to stand, he said they should stand. we'll continue to see players take a knee, because they don't want donald trump to be seen as the winner here and have that tweet storm of donald trump declaring victory, when i don't think it's a victory for him, because i think these players are going to do something significant within their communities. >> a lot more needs to be done, but just hearing the sound bite i thought it was at least productive in a sense, at least they're having the conversation. but here's what i want to know. they're having a conversation. everybody is involved in this, except for the person who got this all started. there was some confusion whether colin kaepernick was invited to the meeting. but he was invited, but kaepernick's attorneys said later he had not been invited by anyone from the league or team management. how should he -- what should he do going forward here? does it hurt his credibility if he's not involved? >> you know what? number on

president don will trump sparked sister protests around the world now organizes at me again in detroit for the women's convention at some well known speak john hendren is also there and joins us live hi there john so why are these leaders holding the women's convention what what's their goal. this was organized by the women who launched that women's march that you just talked about it it's officially and a political organization but it's no accident that they got together the day after president donald trump was inaugurated it was in many ways a reaction to his presidency and it's an effort to turn that march into an ongoing movement to press forward with women's issues and they want women to get more involved and to have a greater voice in government in the workplace and in society at large and i guess they thought what better place to do that than here in detroit a city that has transformed itself since emerging from bankruptcy about two years ago there are some high profile speakers you've got the actress rose mcgowan also the actress piper para both rose mcgowan has famously accuse

trump. this is cnn tonight. i'm don lemon. the president thinks his administration has done a great job in response to hurricane response, even in puerto rico. >> i was very honored to see a man that i've had a lot of respect for, james lee witt of the clinton administration, the head of fema, he gave us an a plus. i just saw it just came out. and i've always had respect for him. he gave us -- he's the fema director of the clinton administration. gave us an a plus for how we responded to the hurricane aftermath, all of the hurricanes. and that includes puerto rico. >> actually, he didn't. james lee witt told us that assessment was for hurricanes harvey and irma. on the subject of his combative relationship with senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. >> we are probably now, despite what we read, we're probably now, i think, at least as far as i'm concerned, closer than ever before. and the relationship is very good. we're fighting for the same thing. >> you know who else the president says he has a good relationship with? that

don junior -- it's even the same word, dirt. that word comes up now twice in the context of the papadopoulos conversations and the trump tower meeting. when don junior got that e-mail from the music promoter promising dirt on hillary clinton, the campaign already knew the russians were offering that, and it raises a whole set of other questions about what that meeting was really about. >> i was going to ask ken a quick question. to understand your reporting a little bit. are you saying that papadopoulos went to manafort and basically asked manafort whether the campaign could have a direct meeting between putin and trump? is that what you are reporting? >> this is from my colleague julia ainsley. there's a particular e-mail in the chain where manafort says we're not going to take this meeting, meaning between trump and putin. trump is not going to meet with putin during the cam. a. we want a low level person to answer so as not to send a signal. we're not going to meet with putin. that's crazy. it also shows he was aware of papadopoulos' efforts and interactions with these russians. >> it may not be exculpatory. it may be incriminati

i turned on different channels and 126 times it he -- at the bottom of the screen was don, jr. and trump and russia, a big difference. >> more damning than the dossier i think is the uranium one stuff. it's very, very damning and i would say, "the washington post" does not get a pass on this. the attorney for the informant in that case has not even been contacted by "the washington post" or any of the major networks. so, again, democracy dies in darkness and it applies both ways. >> hyperbolic language makes it all flowery and makes a good talking point. let's be serious here. you've said earlier that campaign wives, campaign spouses family members know what's going on. >> that's right. >> how come the president didn't know about don, jr.'s meeting and why was he kept in the dark. >> because don, jr.'s meeting was not significant. he was approached by the rush sluns and did nothing with it. the clintons on the other hand were funding this research in collusion with the russians. liz: all right, coming up, stay away from my 401(k). lawmakers looking for a tax revenue money grab are now to

we know, from the trump tower meeting that don junior was excited to take that meeting. eeting didn't bear fruit. we know papadopoulos was telling everyone in the campaign he could that he wanted to set up meetings between trump and putin, campaign officials and other russian officials. and the plea agreement ends with this kind of cliff hanger, that the agents say not all the facts that they know about are in that plea agreement. and it ends with this tantalizing, oh, someone told me about the thousands of e-mails that have dirt on hillary clinton. we don't know what happened next. so that whole chronology sort of dies there. brian and i were talking about this before. is that mueller's way of showing everyone, i know a whole lot more than any of you people thought i knew, and that's why he did the big reveal today -- >> i want to ask you about the strategy of how that was worded and why not announce everything. let's take a quick break and we'll continue the conversation next. mine's way better. this one's below market price and has bluetooth. same here, but this one ha

and also, this is an example, don, of president trump getting out in front of himself. he just says things and he expects people to believe it. if i say it, believe it. it doesn't necessarily mean it's true. and we've seen time and time again that hiss white house aides from the very, very top all the way down, as you go through the west wing into the east wing and elsewhere, the fact of the matter is they're always trying to cleanup after something that he has either said or he has said on twitter. >> it's always a problem of his own making. colonel lay ton, a white house official said that there were bureaucratic reasons why some of the letters had not gone out. they said they were delayed because the servicemember had been involved in multiple casualties incident. is that a valid excuse? does that complicate things? >> it makes it a volume issue, perhaps, don, to put is in a very crass way. but i would say, no, you have a situation where you know that something has happened. you should have procedures in place to handle it. the department of defense has procedures. e

. >> don trump jr. believe was a neophyte in letting that happen. >> what abouticating with a rus january hacker, what about carter page? what about all of the trump administration officials or campaign advisors who had undisclosed meetings with russian officials? >> we're calling people in the next week or two to find out if russia helped also pay for that fusion gps document. we need to hear that and here's the thing. let's remember how the fusion gps document got into the bloodstream in the first place. it was john brennan, the cia director for president barack obama which infused that which has been claimed to be false. >> are you saying hillary clinton colluded with russia to lose? >> i don't think she ever thought she was going to lose the election until election night. >> i'm going to let eric in here. >> yeah. so this is classic putin. this is what aboutism. this is a specific kind of deflect sh deflection. you say, yes, we might have colluded with a foreign government to overthrow this election,
