two former republican presidents, george bush and his son, george w bush, have released a joint statementalling on the american people to reject racial bigotry, anti—semitism, and hatred in all forms. one woman was killed and 19 people were wounded in the clashes on saturday. our north america editor jon sopel reports. # amazing grace... the memorial service for heather heyer, a protest and moan down by a white supremacist in cha rlottesville on and moan down by a white supremacist in charlottesville on saturday. but farfrom an in charlottesville on saturday. but far from an occasion when a nation comes together, america seems more bitterly divided than ever. they tried to kill my child to shut her up. well, guess what? you just magnified her! this was cha rlottesville magnified her! this was charlottesville on friday night. racist groups chancing juma crowes will not replace us, carrying ku klux klan style torches, although marching to the slogan white lives matter. yesterday the president blamed both sides for the violence that ensued. you had a group on one side and a group on the othe

ourselves that they had to secure the city there were snipers in to get this sick people out so george bush could not go into a volatile situation where the workers could be killed whe. >> george's view bush has submitted g his response to katrina was adequate. i will leave his words as the former president wooded mitt but the vast majority of americans if they see those imageeein and wonder what the government was doing to tell the of the the director at the time that it was not adequate if you remember that, but he was doing a great job. so whether or not it bonded well with that situation. but really was not my point. so why did they not respond? ife for with they respond differentlyl of if they had a different level of access to power? at is how we try to build that infrastructure at color of change.br >> this is a better time to. bring in a caller. >> but wanted to deep into katrina so that whole situation so irrespective of who evacuated at the end of the day the government failedhe g. the entire government with the shoot-to-kill order.r. if i am running around trying to get help the

right now in these live pictures, this is george bush incidental contact george -- george bush intercontinental airport. it's expected to stay closed through thursday. >>> it's tuesday, august 29. i'm dave clark. >> i'm pam cook. thank you for waking up with us. many flights go through that area and transfer. there is a lot of rain along the whole gulf coast at this point. emac today will be the last day. i think tomorrow will be better. it went back over the golf and picked up a little more steam. they are not done yet. it should make landfall again but not as a hurricane. another day of rain for them. we do have a cooler day for us today and tomorrow. after that, it looks really hot. low clouds and fog make a good good push today. is going to make a good search by 7:00. you can see it's right up there toward santa rosa. it looks like it's knocking on the door near windsor. also over the bay and toward american canyon. low clouds filling in on much of the san mateo in santa cruz coast. there is a decent delta breeze. 50s, 60s between half moon bay and brentwood. upper 50s and lower 60s on the

george bush like barack obama. lot of bushes people voted for barack obama including i believe his top economic people who are quite bothered by what they saw on the other side. i think john mccain even when he lost at least for a small moment found at least some good any idea that the country had elected somebody who never would have ever been elected in the past even though he didn't want this particular guy to win because he thought he was a better candidate. and then we saw what happened over those eight years obviously with race being such a big flashpoint. and one tha one of the present f as very as you say very reluctant to address. he did not want to be an african-american president. he wanted to be a president who is african-american. he wanted to be judged and evaluated on his climate policies and his nationals could policies, economic policies. he did not want to be thought of entirely through a racial prism and he avoided talking about it, particularly in his first term. his second term freed of the worr

we all remember what happened to george bush with hurricane katrina who just flew over the scene and at was met with condemnation by many. the problem with george w bush's response was the apparent disorganisation at federal level, fema, the emergency management agency, was not doing a very good job of coordinating between the different state agency and government and there was an optics problem as well, george w bush captured playing the guitar when the hurricane was hitting, flying over the disaster area, he appeared looking out of the window, not taking it as seriously as many people wanted him to. it's obvious donald trump has tried to learn from those lessons and been active on twitter with his comments today, going there twice, these are the sorts of things a president can do to reassure the nation that he is on top of the situation. we forget, though, that george w bush earlier had overseen some successful disaster relief efforts in florida during the 2003, early 200a. 50 it's not impossible to manage this, even for somebody like george w bush. the potential for stumbling and p

one maybe feud we should talk about would be nancy reagan and barbara bush. >> yes. >> because it's 1980 and george h.w. bush and nancy -- and ron reagan run against each other. of course, this often happens, reconciliation, vice president george h.w. bush, president ronald reagan, but nancy reagan is constantly putting barbara in her place, is constantly disrespectful to barbara, constantly disrespectful to both bushes but particularly to barbara. once barbara bush showed up at the white house in a similar colored dress, and nancy reagan makes it clear the event is not going to start until barbara bush goes home and changes. and they're fellow republicans. >> there's a similar feud between julia dent grant and mary todd lincoln. they're going to get into a boat to go into richmond to sort of lord it over the defeated south, and julia gets in the boat and she sits down in a seat and mary todd lincoln gets in and she says, you're sitting in my seat. get up. and she -- and yujulia got up. she never forgot this. and then when they had a carriage tour around washington to see all of the lights to celeb

america will be better off for it. >> george w. bush also had a very successful year after following the pattern of ronald reagan. be very specific in your campaign about two or three things. in his case, it was lower taxes, education reform, stand strong in the world but don't try to do regime change. these were several things he said in the campaign. he gets into office. what does he do? he reaches out to ted kennedy on the other side of the i'll and political -- aisle and political spectrum, a liberal in the most liberal sense of the word. he invited ted kennedy and his family to the white house after the moderation. -- inauguration. he said the new movie 13 days just came out about the cuban missile crisis, would you like to watch it? >> all these things were about this trust developing, this relationship, this common cause of can we get something done? they both have their own equities. they both believed they should do a better job of educating kids. >> you can imagine the brother of president kennedy sitting there with president

him before that george bush -- and before that george bush wrestled with. will it be more expensive down the line to pick up the pieces if there is a terrorist safe haven? when osama binve laden declared war on the united states and we laughed it off, he meant what he said. when the islamic state said they want to see the black flag of the islamic state flying over the white house, they may mean it. one of the other issues we can look at in the broad understanding of terrorism is whether the motivation for terrorism is a grievance or ideology. the university of chicago political scientist in a famous article said it is all about grievance, all about occupation. if we remove ourselves from the region, terrorism will go away. i believe ideology plays a much greater part. if we remove ourselves in the region, we may be getting a safe haven from which they will strike us. jim from new jersey, a republican. caller: good morning. just a correction. i am now an independent. i was a republican but i moved away from them. i'm an independent. an issue i want to bring

bush. it's 1980 and george h.w. bush and nancy -- and ronald reagan run against each other. reconciliation and ronald reagan but nancy reagan is constantly putting her in her place. nancy reagan makes it clear that the event isn't going to start in the barbara bush goes home and changes. >> there's a similar feud. mary todd lincoln will get in a boat to go into richmond to sort of over the defeated south. julia gets in the boat and sits down in a seat. mary todd lincoln says you're sitting in my seat. get up. julia got up. she never forgot this. and then when they had a carriage tour to see all of the lights to celebrate the victory of the north she invites her husband to join her in the carriage and just leaves julia sitting there. julia did not forget this. when they were invited to the theater the evening that lip ncn was killed julia says to her husband, i'm not going to be with that woman. thank goodness she didn't because her husband might have been killed as well. so there was a feud that turned out well for somebody. >> and holding a grudge too. >> yes. >>> do you ha

by the way, stay with george w. bush. extraordinary things. we can he was called a nazi, compared to hitler, their touch of this julius caesar but there was a movie called made the assassination of george w. bush. i'm not saying race doesn't play a role but undoubtedly, part of our politics right now is one more element that president obama confronted and in some cases chose not to confront. we had not become a post- racial society and he didn't get everything done he wanted to. >> the american president. [inaudible] there's insights about the nature of the presidency and our country. you would think they were a different party when they had battled through elections in pretty tough ways. i think that's because, especially when you leave office, there are only six people alive who have confronted the issues they have confronted. the issues do not get any better if the other party takes over. of course there still rotten to the core. they understand each other better, they have more of a shared sense of purpose and experience and i think they do

significantly, a new intervention — this time from two the former living republican presidents george hw bushing there is no room for bigotry or anti—semitism in today's america. donald trump left new york today to resume his hardly quiet or relaxing holiday. more isolated from the political and business establishment than at any time since he took office. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. our other top story: a week of national mourning has begun in sierra leone in the wake of the devastating flooding and mudslides that struck near the capital of freetwon on monday. officials say more than 100 children are among the 400 people who are known to have died when part of a hillside collapsed. and at least 600 people are still missing. from freetown, martin patience reports. in freetown, the ambulances are rushing not to the hospital but to the main mortuary. they are ferrying the dead — victims buried alive by a landslide. the relatives wait outside to collect their bodies. the stench of death is overpowering. emotions are raw. bishi lost her sister. daniel wasn't home when disaster struck. but he

hub at george bush intercontinental diverted two planes. beau wue nose airs, lima and soo paolo put passengers in total limbo. these men heading to a krispy kreme convention and while these two are trying to make it home to manila. >> everything got screwed up because of the hurricane. >> i'm supposed to go to work tomorrow but they'll understand. >> sisters christine and victoria flying from lima to calgary. >> they said this is your one option. we're going to the marriott which we got and $30 whole dollars. >> here we are. nice long line looking for an option. >> most like ryan mclaurin staying positive. >> it could be worse. i could be stuck in south america. at least i'm back in the united states. i'll figure it out kevin: and at this hour, houston and george bush airports remain close with some reports of passengers trapped in terminals own there. kimberly: the situation in texas might have an effect on gas prices. ri analyst -- industry analysts will determine how much that will jump and also a serge in demand in labor day as millions

still would be bad well the one thing that makes me think that there might be a possibility is george w. bush oddly enough i mean he's the one who created this mess but when george w. bush was before nine eleven in march of two thousand and one as i recall we had and not just we i mean the biggest actually the country was taking the biggest hit on this was was russia there was an enormous amount of opium that was coming out of afghanistan they were the law they are the look world's largest producer and in two thousand in two thousand they had produce something like eight million tons or eight billion it was eight whatever it was i think is million tons so mind boggling amount so george w. bush went to mullah omar talked to the taliban and i mean not him but the state department and said we'll give you forty million dollars if you burn the fields now in afghanistan forty million dollars i have a lot of money right there is a country with with an average. per capita income of less than seven hundred dollars a year and the opium production in two thousand and one went down to just a little over

george bush did not go into a volatile situation where he could be killed, where workers could be killed. everyone was in danger. host: rashad robinson? guest: george w. bush has admitted his response to katrina was inadequate. leave his words. americansajority of as they were seeing those images and wondering what the government was doing, hearing the president tell the fema director at the time did they not respond and would they have responded differently if the impacted had a different level of political power fthey had a different level of access power. and that really is at the heart sort of trying to build the infrastructure at to change the world, to make decision-makers disappointingbout black people, in the process move quicker, move to quicker smarter solutions when communities are in harm's way nd more importantly, advance the solution so communities won't be in harm's way. host: might be good time to a caller from new orleans. clinton is a democrat. good morning. don't want to get too far in as far as katrina happened with that. just quick, as far as democrat that whole ans,

taken them out of the park, extraordinary things he was accused of and by the way the same with george w. bushhe was compared to hitler. we talked about this play in new york. there is a movie the assassination of george w. bush. how was that several of course it is not. so i'm no i am not saying it dot play a role but the on delete for ugliness is part of our politics right now and that was one more element of president obama confronted or chose not to compound that he left office feeling a little disappointed he wasn't able to do more and we haven't become a post-racial society and he didn't get everything done he wanted to. >> [inaudible] that's a great question. are they more a team of rivals or rivals. i think they are much more alike than we think. [inaudible] [laughter] [applause] i mean only he's a different figure and has a different file and is currently in office and that makes them different. if you watched the other night, bush and clinton got together at the center in dallas and had a talk and those guys were great together. they were joking and having interesting insights about

george bush doesn't hear about black people. of these moments george bush failed and donald trump has to figure what he's got to do. grassley is already worried, tweeting that, and delay, i think, in terms of donald trump tweeting about it today. i think melania trump tweeted about it this morning. donald trump sent several tweets and finally tweeted about it this morning saying he's gotten a briefing. it's a big test. hopefully one he's able to pass for the sake of the folks there in the wake of these, this hurricane over the next couple days and hours. >> pointing out, one of the issues, missing scores of people, not even nominated. no permanent homeland security secretary since retired general kelly left the department to become chief of staff and no confirmed le eed leader of oshas storms, and other seats remain empty. president trump nominated candidates a month ago. press secretary sarah huckabee sanders says not to worry, though. >> we are in great shape having general kelly sitting next to the president throughout this p

they thought george h.w. bush deserved a second term.ng, they were not going to work with him. >> president clinton said today he's very pleased with his first year in office, but not a bit happy about how it's ending, under a cloud of controversy over his personal life and business dealings. >> the white house is anticipating questions about whitewater. >> the whitewater controversy. >> whitewater. >> whitewater. >> whitewater affair. >> the president, the first lady, a bad real estate deal, a failed s&l. >> whitewater, nobody knew what whitewater was. >> the story begins in 1978. hillary and bill clinton when he was governor of arkansas invested in a land development project. it was a fiasco. >> the clintons say they lost almost $70,000. their partners are now the focus of widening federal and congressional investigations. >> the press starts asking more and more questions. who was involved? where did the money go? what happened to all the records? >> the more puzzling questions may concern whether the white house engaged in a cover up

timing is hugely important, george w. bushas criticized for how long it took him to get to the gulf coast after hurricane katrina. when you watching for as the president makes his way to corpus christi? make: he said he wouldn't the trip if you thought it would be disruptive to the rescue and recovery efforts. he is flying into corpus christi, that airport is back open. he is probably far enough from the eye of the storm to not be in the way. that is what you want to be careful of. you don't want grumpy local officials are trying to save folks in houston that are still stranded feeling like the president is missing out. --will be quite a distance messing that out. -- that up. there is still lots more rain to come. by wednesday or thursday, who knows what's going to look like? he's making himself part of the story and taking political ownership of it. with something so unpredictable, i would say his advisers should hope for the best. it is a little risky for him. david: what is his relationship like with the governor of texas,
