gain. fredricka? >> all right. jeremy diamond, thank you so much from the white house. cnn has learned of more trump phone calls. the white house is trying to keep secret. sources tell us the president's conversations with russian leader vladimir putin and saudi prince were subject to tighter than normal restrictions. here now is cnn's pamela brown. >> reporter: we have learned the white house efforts to limit access to president trump's conversations with foreign leaders extended to phone calls with the saudi crown prince and the russian leader vladimir putin according to several people familiar with the matter. those calls both with leaders who maintain controversial relationships with trump were among the presidential conversations aides took remarkable steps to keep from becoming public. in the case of trump's call with prince mumd officials who ordinarily would have been given access to a rough transcript of the call never saw one according to one source. instead a transcript was never circulated at all which the source said was highly unusual particularly after a

jeremy corbyn‘s leadership. as a last—minute proposal, it failed to gain the necessary support at the national executive committee is now officially on the agenda for another meeting of labour's ruling body later this morning. if successful, the motion could then go to the conference floor with even some allies of tom watson not overly optimistic about his chances. because he has his fair share of critics, those who believe that the deputy has repeatedly undermined the leader, not least by straying on brexit policy. mps are furious at what has happened overnight, describing it all as a farcical destruction and self—destructive. jessica parker, bbc news. and we'll be speaking to one of tom watson's shadow cabinet colleagues, dawn butler, just after 8am. the us has said it will send military forces to saudi arabia after drone and missile attacks on the kingdom's oil facilities. washington has blamed iran for the attack, as david willis reports. having initially pronounced the united states locked and loaded, resident trump now favours defence of attack. the president has approved the deployment of us forces which w

make this both a vote on brexit and on jeremy corbyn, and the fact is, there is a lot of opposition withinmy corbyn's labor britain. we could see conservatives gainingeats. we could even see a resurgence of the liberal democrats, because they are the one party that has consistently opposed leaving the eu. the amount of uncertainty around this election is just astonishing. that is not even to bring and the people they are supposed to be negotiating with, the eu. boris johnson's main argument has been, i can't tell you what my negotiating stance is. i need to keep no deal brexit on the table if i'm to get any sort of good deal out of the eu. in some ways, to play devils advocate, is he right? stacie: he has made the argument that this is his hammer. if the eu is not willing to accept a deal, if they are not willing to take the irish backstop off the table, then the eu is going to be punished, because without a deal in place, this will be chaos for europe. you can look at the way the eu has reacted. yesterday, they released a list of items to small businesses of what could happen in case there is a no deal brexit. that being said, there is no sense tha

gains in scotland. joe: if there is another election, going back to the same question, how much has it theoretically hurt jeremy corbyn and labor that he has not been more unambiguously opposed to brexit? that people who really want to see remain don't totally feel like he is on their side, or as hard-core remain as others. emma: that goes to the heart of the dilemma that the labour 2016, thato face in a of labor voters voted in favor of brexit. there is a sense to this ambiguity and to a certain slowlythey have edged towards a slightly more remainy position. it is always very subtle wording as they edged toward backing another referendum in certain circumstances, but there is a sense to this ambiguity, which is huge numbers of labour voters have defected to the brexit party and voted for brexit in t ow if anyone has crunched the numbers on what is better for the labour party if you have to pick a side, but it is a very tight call. romaine:n london with parliament. they are sent to vote on a motion. this is essentially going to take control of the brexit process away from johnson, essentially put it in dnp's ha

. >> jeremy, you know texas politics well, so i'm not telling you anything you don't know. in the 2018 midterms democrats gainedand legislative seats but all the statewide offices are held by republicans. how do you read texas as a 2020 battleground? >> that's the thing. historically we have been so republican for so long, particularly here in harris county. but, like you pointed out -- >> harris county being houston and around there. >> absolutely. houston, harris county, it's changed dramatically. back in the day ann richards couldn't carry there. she was a popular democratic governor that won statewide. she had trouble in her re-election here. democrats have always had struggles here. except for the last couple of cycles, you can see the shift. we've jumped from a place where john kerry would lose harris county by 100,000 votes. barack obama -- more like a draw here in harris county. when hillary clinton ran, she won by 160,000 votes. as that number keeps growing, beto o'rourke pulled 200,000 out of this area. republican candidates are seeing that. candidates who won by 20 points in texas in 2014 won by five

gain support from people who otherwise would not entertain his premiership. in backing away from the idea of himself as a caretaker prime minister, jeremy corbyn has behaved responsiblylops. but he should see an election before brexit is decided as the elephant trap that it is. after brexit is resolved, an immediate election is right and necessary, and if labour approaches the resolution of brexit with a spirit of strategic co—operation that it has shown recently, it will emerge with its standing and even that of its leadership greatly enhanced. so, if the government tries to force an election now, labour should vote against it. the challenge of such an election is brutally clear, and leave aside for a moment what is fairand unfair — leave aside for a moment what is fair and unfair — no opposition leader or... has won an election. the 2017 result has inoculated the labour party against a realistic assessment of where it stands. to be sure, an election is a risk that the tories. each tory candidate will have to sign up to no deal. the brexit party is a one—man, unpredictable band. scotland will be... but my bet is the brexit party will collapse. the labour party at pr

have ultimately gained access to that transcript anyways and the white house would have looked a lot more guilty of course for withholding evidence of that phone conversation. >> jeremy diamond at the white house for us, we'll see what happens next. thank you. this weekend, we are also learning more about the time line of the whistleblower complaint. who knew what before it went public and started the wheels turning on a formal presidential impeachment inquiry. here is cnn's jessica schneider. >> reporter: officials now say that the department of justice and the white house knew about the whistleblower's concerns more than one week before they were formally alerted by the acting director of national intelligence and the intelligence community inspector general. the last week of august. here is the time line we know so far. august 12, the inspector general for the intelligence community receives the whistleblower's 7 page complaint. two days later on august 14, attorneys at the doj national security division are alerted about the whistleblower's concerns during a routine conference call. the next day, the head of the division goes to the white house to review the tran
