press credentials were revoked so clearly that wasn't the case but let's take a look at what heather nauert had to say before that happened. when the united states tells someone to register under a foreign agent requirement we don't see impacts or affect the ability of them to. report news and information we just have the register it's as simple as that now after basically directing my question to congress she tried to play the russian card and udev to me a representative of the russian government in fact the fact that you are here as a representative of the russian government is a perfect example of how we do not not restrict any type of freedom of the press they can get russian news if you well now i didn't get a chance to respond to those accusations but i'd like to present a few questions now is a journalist for the b.b.c. does she consider them to be representatives of the british government what about france twenty four does she also consider them to be representatives of the french government and so on and so forth so it seems like the same department is trying to divert these questi

and information we just have to register it's a simple as that seems to be the opposite of what heather nauert said because as of the moment we've received this letter which is essentially telling us that our ability to operate as a news agency and function and report on events on capitol hill a vital place in the us political system the legislative branch of the u.s. government that ability is now in question now at the moment we have this letter telling us that we need to turn over our credentials now this comes in the aftermath of r.t. being pressured and forced to register under the foreign agents registration act now this is a law that was passed in one nine hundred thirty eight to combat the influence of nazi germany and efforts and propaganda efforts by the nazi government back in the one nine hundred thirty s. now it follows months and months of pressure that have been placed on our see recently artie's status in the united states with you tube and their ability to do premium ads and taken away without any real notice twitter has banned advertising by r.t. and there's been a series of

presidential election but before that happened heather nauert said that registration would not at all affect her ability to report so that clearly wasn't the case well i asked the state department about this but i didn't exactly get an answer when our t. was forced to register as a foreign agent and you said that it would inhibit our ability to report when the united states tells someone to register under a foreign agent requirement we don't see impacts or a fact the ability of them to report. news and information we just have the register it's as simple as that however just a couple weeks ago our press credentials were revoked so doesn't this contradict your earlier statement i think i think press credentials may have been revoked by congress and not necessarily the members of congress but rather the association of reporters that handles who gets to come in and cover congress after basically directing my question to congress she played the russian card a representative of the russian government in fact the fact that you were here as a representative of the russian government is a per

heather nauert from the us state department, spokesperson, said the move by washington recognised sudan'sined positive actions but more progress is needed. what more are you being asked to do? there is always more to be asked by anybody. but they were referring to human rights and religious freedoms. and we have been discussing this at length. we said that we are abiding with our constitution. we are abiding with all international convention and agreements and previous conventions and agreements signed on human rights and freedoms and we are ready to listen to friends whenever there are critics. but you mention human rights and that is one very, very big issue. the british ambassador in sudan, michael aron, says he's very worried about human rights, he's also worried about da rfur. he's also worried about the continuing violence. do you accept that you have to do a lot more? we are just coming out of a civil war in the south, and then we came out from war darfur, where darfur is peaceful now and we are now having a settlement, declaring a ceasefire for more than more than one year in the

the state department spokesperson heather nauert wasn't able to confirm whether this offer of direct talks from north korea with the united states actually came up during the meeting between the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson and the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov that said no or told reporters on thursday that basically direct talks between washington and pyongyang or between pyongyang and anyone else right now is essentially a nonstarter and that's because she argues that north korea has not been serious about trying to stop its nuclear weapons program she said if anything the repeated testing of nuclear warheads as well as the test firing of ballistic missiles shows that north korea is more committed to be developing a robust military program centered around nuclear weapons rather than dismantling it she said until there is a real change of behavior on north korea's part the u.s. and its allies are basically going to continue looking for ways of punishing north korea for its behavior that said the secretary of state recently said that even though there seems to be s

secretary sarah huckabee sanders denied the reports thursday, as did state department spokesperson heather nauert>> i do not work at the white house, but what i can tell you is that chief of staff kelly called our department this morning and said that the rumors are not true, the reports are not true. he remains, as i have been told, committed to doing this job. he has got to serve at the pleasure of the president. this is a job he concern -- enjoys. he is continuing with his meetings and calls and has spoken with foreign minister gabriel and the un's secretary-general earlier today. he is continuing with a full schedule. amy: president trump did little to indicate he has confidence in tillerson. after posing for photographs with bahraini crown prince salman bin hamad al khalifa at the white house, reporters asked trump p about his plans to reple tillerson. >> do you want rex tillerson on the job, mr. president? >> he is herere. >> do you want him t to stay in his job? >> thank you very much, everyone. amy: tillerson's tenure at the state department has been rocky. he has been criticized for dram

known and have seen quite a few fox people who have either ended up in the administration, like heather nauert, at the state department, or kimberly guilfoyle. >> i forgot that about guilfoyle. yeah. >> we catch them at the white house, going to dinners, being there for interviews. it's sort of become a normal thing to know that the president is talking to these news hosts all of the time, having them at the white house. it used to be a big story -- we would make a big deal about it if the president was having a one-on-one dinner or talking to a news host all the time or maybe more of an opinion host would be a more proper description of it. >> it's not just the question of commonality of outlook or some shared thinking in a generalized way. concentrated message. the words being used time and again. and sometimes the message seems to be coming from around the white house. you are seeing these fox hosts pushing forward messages they want them to grab on to and ride. it's not just a synergy but constant floating in the same direction. there's no admission of facts against interests on these show

let's figure out whether we can make that happen let's take a listen to what the spokesperson heather nauert had to say about this that is something that foreign minister lavrov said took place as a part of the conversation i don't have anything on that particular part of the conversation and i cannot confirm if that came up in the secretary's conversation with mr lavrov i will say though as a general matter the issue of direct talks with north korea is not on the table in till they're willing to denuclearize it is something that russia has said it agrees with it is something that china has that it is it agrees with and many other nations around the world as well the d.p. r. k. is not showing any interest in sitting down and having any kind of serious conversations when they continue to fire off ballistic missiles here but this in a little bit of context for us roslyn considering that there had been heightened tensions between the united states under the truck with ministration especially in north korea recently that's right the ministration has imposed two new rounds unilateral rounds of di

the department spokesperson heather nauert wasn't able to confirm that this did come up during the meeting between the secretary of state rex tillerson and russian foreign minister sergey lavrov but she did say that whether or not it came up the idea of the u.s. and north korea sitting down in direct talks about north korea's nuclear weapons program essentially won't happen and here's why nart says that as far as washington is concerned north korea is not serious about ending its efforts to further develop its nuclear weapons program that by having all of these repeated missile to house and tests of nuclear warheads pyongyang seems to be much more committed to developing a robust military capability rather than trying to dismantle it and so she said and that she said that this is the view of the u.s. as allies that unless and until north korea commits to taking apart its nuclear weapons program there really is no point in having face to face discussions now of course that does beg the question given that even though the tensions have been ramping up between north korea and the internationa
