trump's words today, hari. he also said this is extreme vetting, that they had to move up more quickly because of the ninth circuit ruling. so this is something they were looking at more long term, but they seem to be incorporating it into an executive order next week. it doesn't seem like it's all the way fully baked, but it's going to be significant when it comes. >> sreenivasan: finally, why did they have this press conference today? briefly. >> i think there were a lot of reasons, just the headlines themselves and the white house struggling to respond to them. they wanted to get the president out himself to do it. there was also something this president does best on his feet and he's very engaging. and you can say, he was enjoying the back-and-forth with the press. so there was a lot of that. >> sreenivasan: lisa desjardins joining us from the white house, thanks so much. >> you got it. >> woodruff: and for two different viewpoints on today's memorable press conference, i am joined by kansas secretary of st

hari sreenivasan has more. >> sreenivasan: the white house says the sanctions are not related to thelear deal, and structured in a way that maintains the u.s.' commitments to that agreement. at the same time, the national security advisor michael flynn also released a statement today, saying: "the international community has been too tolerant of iran's bad behavior. the ritual of convening a united nations security council in an emergency meeting and issuing a strong statement is not enough. the trump administration will no longer tolerate iran's provocations that threaten our interests." joining me for what the new sanctions and statements mean going forward is karim sadjapour of the carnegie endowment for international peace. karim, let's put h this in context. who do these sanctions affect and what will they be prohibited from doing? >> these sanctions are very targeted against individuals and entities that are affiliated or part of iran's revolutionary guards who are involved in iran's missile program and iran's support for regional militias, and they're very targeted. they're no

>> well, the process was somewhat unusual, hari. usually a president goes down in the situation room, is presented with what they call a whole package for the attack. there's a legal assessment of the legal authorities under which they're doing these. there's a risk assessment to the commandos who would be doing it. there is a risk assessment of what could happen to civilians who are in the area. this particular attack had been set up by the obama administration. they had debated it, and president obama decided about ten days before the end of his term that he couldn't approve it because the pentagon really wanted to go in under the complete cover of darkness, a moonless night, and the next moonless night wasn't going to be until after he was no longer in office. so they kicked this one over to the new administration, and it looks like president trump got briefed on it by in large at a dinner, not in the situation room, not with legal advisers around. his secretary of defense, jim mattis was, there vice vice pret pence was there, st

for the pbs newshour, i'm hari sreenivasan. >> o'brien: now, the toll of cervical cancer, and recentdings that suggest its death rate is higher than we thought. that's the focus of our weekly segment, "the leading edge." estimates had shown more than 4,000 women in the u.s. die from cervical cancer each year, and that the death rate dropped dramatically over past decades. but an analysis published in the journal "cancer" found the mortality rate is higher than previously thought, and it is significantly higher among african american women. the findings were particularly concerning because cervical cancer can often be prevented through better screening, and the h.p.v. vaccine can prevent some cases. dr. jennifer caudle is a family physician and an assistant professor at rowan university. she has been writing about these findings and the implications for her clinical practice, and joins me now. dr. caudel, good to have you with us. >> thanks so much. >> o'brien: tell us what's new about this study? >> well, i think it's actually quite profound. as a family physician myself, as a woman

from the tisch wnet studios at lincoln center in new york, hari sreenivasan. >> stewart: good evening, and thank you for joining us. the trump administration's ban on immigration from seven predominantly muslim countries is on hold nationwide following a temporary restraining order issued by a federal judge in seattle last night. today, the department of homeland security announced it has suspended all actions enforcing the immigration ban and has told airlines to let travelers from those countries with valid visas or green cards board planes bound for the u.s. those countries are iran, iraq, libya, syria, somalia, sudan and yemen. the state department announced today it is reversing the cancellation of visas that had been issued to 60,000 people who had been prevented from entering the u.s. since the trump executive order eight days ago. the trump administration plans to appeal the court ruling that has halted the immigration ban. newshour weekend's megan thompson has more. >> reporter: in seattle last night, u.s. district judge james robart, an appointee of president george w. bush,

hari sevugan, i want to start with you. you would see a new executive order or do you want to see the executive order that took place at two weeks was challenged in court. >> either way there are fundamental problems with the executive order in terms of the legal standing as well as constitutional standing. the law they rely on was actually amended in 1965. see you cannot discriminate taste on nationality. so there is a legal problem there. >> i want to give you the last word. there were those seven countries not necessarily specific religions lay down in the executive order. >> these countries for the same countries of concern to president obama was worried about. the president has statutory authority to do what he set out to do and we need to do this to reassure the american people. elizabeth: wimberley repair. gentleman thank you for joining us this sunday. we appreciate it. stay turned after the show for fox news sunday. chris also the talk of a senior policy adviser stephen miller. we played a quick point and senate fo

hari sreenivasan has a conversation about its promise and limits, in a minute.begin with the story of a cancer patient who was told at one point that she only had six months to live. she has now lived several years beyond that, thanks to her novel treatment. those kind of treatments are the focus of our weekly segment, "the leading edge." >> my name is melinda welsh. i'm a writer, and was editor of the "sacramento news and review" for around 25 years, and when i was diagnosed with cancer, it just came naturally, i suppose, to write about it. i was shocked to hear. i felt stunned. it is squamous cell carcinoma. after we learned that the cancer had metastasized, we went to see some specialists. i asked each of them how much time i had left, and that's when they told me, you know, six to nine months, months to a year, a year-ish. you know, i started writing again, and i felt i had something to say that might mean something to other people. the enormity of the news didn't sink in fully, not at first, even after my doctor uttered the words, "i'm sorry, we did find ca
