i noticed on a lighter note, john gregory was manager ofjust tell lighter note, john gregory was managerhn gregory was manager ofjust tell me the club... aston villa. thank you. birmingham's finest have to be mentioned. it wasn't finest. what are we going to look at? the weather ina minute. are we going to look at? the weather in a minute. it is such a relief to get through it. they're back again at 11.30pm for round two. i am pleased really. thank you for having us. a pleasure. hello there. good evening, it was a lovely day for large swathes of the uk with plenty of sunshine. this the view mid—afternoon in nairn on the shores of the moray firthment after a lovely sunny day, we a accident sunset. this is the view in the wirral. we saw a fair bit of cloud further south. very little rain to speak of. just a few spits and spots coming on the breeze towards east anglia and the south east of england. elsewhere, it isa dry south east of england. elsewhere, it is a dry picture. clear skies, the further north you, go lighter winds too. that means the temperature will be dropping away. major town

john gregory did acknowledge that stan collingwood needed to go away and get some proper help.od eventually the difficulties. one of the problems is... henry is absolutely right, they are not equipped to deal with problems. statistically, there have to be quite a few gay footballers but the point is, the culture makes it difficult to be yourself, be normal, be gay, so what, the mental stress that must put on plays is appalling. evenif that must put on plays is appalling. even if you are a top player, playing two games a week, there is an awful lot of downtime. they go betting, golf but a lot of people... the devil makes work for idle hands. too much time, not enough to do and they struggle to cope, especially when they are not playing. a lot would be homesick. we forget this, one day you're playing with your family, nextday you've been transferred to another country. all you are on the bench, not playing. 29 years old, on the bench, it can result in a lot of stress. the work the royal family have been doing, the royal family have been doing, the younger royals, this might be a

we have david gregory and john avalon. john, you used to work with the reporter. it is hard to be that measured in response than being body slammed. ben jacobs say you body slammed me. you broke my glasses. i'm going to call police. what is this reporter like? >> ben jacobs is a smart reporter. he was getting a question about a breaking news of the scoring of the health care bill. the audio tells the story. the campaign spin contradicts it, discounts it. it is a lie. it is an attempt to demonize jacobs as a liberal reporter. that speaks to the ugliness of what they are trying to tap into. the candidate flipped out to a question he did not feel comfortable answering. and the candidate, the republican candidate the night before election physical slammed ben jacobs to the ground, but started punching him. this is not behavior that is acceptable for any adult, let alone representing the people of montana. >> he caught an assault charge. david gregory, it is a no-brainer. the campaign can say whatever it wants. it is fabricating the story to cover the guy losing it ove

johns, thank you. let's bring in the panel. david gregory. associate editor for real clear politics. a.b. stoddard and we have errol louis. the acting ag goes there and despite what the president said. you have trouble with flynn, act on it. the next day, the president meets with the director of the fbi and acknowledges he tried to interfere with the investigation and make sure that he was clear. we focus on that second paragraph in the letter dismissing comey for a reason. it is a window into what this was all about and the major concerns for impartiality into the matter going forward. >> that's the important point here, chris. two aspects of this which are troubling. the president of the united states on record on twitter and in person dismissing the importance of a probe into russia's attack on america to hack the election to manipulate the results. that is not to say they had an impact on the results. the president won fair and square. it was an attack on america. those are the words of republican senator john mccain. two, his open contempt for the investigation followed up by the fac

john. >> suzanne malveaux on kpcapito hill. we want to bring back david gregory and a.b.ddard and analyst david drucker. not denying the subject. the context of the meeting with the president and russian leaders where he called fired fbi director james comey a nut job. one notable thing while the white house is trying to brush this off. republicans are not jumping to the defense of the administration. some seem shocked. john mccain said he was speechless. listen to this. >> with the appointment of mr. mueller, we are now at the stage of a scandal. now the question is how is it handled? is it handled like watergate where drip, drip, drip, every day? or handle it like ronald reagan handled iran contra? >> david drucker, mccain said he was speechless with the oval office meeting. they are having a hard time with it. >> they are. they were initially pleased to see robert mueller appointed. in their mind, this sweeps it off the table for them and they get back to work. what do you plan to do? now when you have an investigation with a special coup counsel, it can go in any dire

john and alisyn. >> thank you, joe. let's discuss with the panel. david gregory and phil mudd and editor for real clear politics, a.b. stoddard. >> we learned this doesn't just cover the campaign and the campaign advisers. now it reaches into the white house. what is the significance? >> the last point. it reaches to the white house. jared kushner emerged as the president's most important adviser and also family. those authority goes in multiple directions and who has business interests that raise real questions on behalf of the trump family that could have made the campaign vulnerable to being compromised by the russians. again, we don't know what all the facts are so we wait for investigation. we know through kushner's attorney he is happy to talk to all investigators. i think we can make a broader point right now about the attitude vulnerability. cavalier attitude by the trump campaign. russia is not going to do anything to us. there is something of concern here and kushner appears to be the person who had enough contact and meetings or knows enough to be able to really help investigators or though he is not a tar

. >> john had nothing to do -- >> let me make this perfectly clear. i had nothing to do with the murder of gregoryl. you're asking the most ridiculous thing. >> you have to admit that it's not ridiculous. >> it is. >> that your dogs, nine of your dogs, your beloved dogs were poisoned -- >> were killed by the government. >> that would make a man who loves animals absolutely irate. >> right. >> it would be enough to make a man who loves his dogs willing to kill someone. >> does this man look to you like he would be stupid enough to kill whoever was responsible -- >> i don't think he would be -- >> of course not. please. i am sick of belize. i'm finished with belize. >> that's your choice. i have a couple more questions about belize. >> as we ratcheted up the pressure on mcafee about belize, he started to walk out on our main interview. >> you're walking out on this. >> [ bleep ] yes because you have not kept your [ bleep ] word. >> i have kept my word. >> reporter: there had been month preconditions to the interview and mcafee quickly calmed down and sat down. >> you're computers are no longer back

johns appreciate it. we bring in senior political analyst ron brownstein, david gregory and jackie kusinich. david gregory most important topic for the day is? >> how both the political class and other leadership, be it judicial or not, are going to respond to what trump has done, not just the firing of comey but then the add-on comments and threats he's made demanding loyalty and all the rest. as we've been saying all morning, this is a crisis the president has created by abusing his power, by creating an atmosphere in which we don't know who we can trust in the white house, at a time when there's an investigation going on, there's facts to be gathered, and there's a system to protect, and there's real questions this week about when and whether republican leaders are going to stand up to the president, who has got an agenda to try to get passed, and say look your behavior has got to stop, and we have to get things back on track here. >> just to be clear, the reason that there are no republican leaders on this show this morning is because they didn't want to come on. "new day" asked rank and

john byron will testify later today. >> laura, thank you very much for all of that reporting. we have cnn political analyst and author of how's your faith, david gregoryhington political examiner and cnn political analyst and washington post white reporter, abbey phillips. nice to have you here on this special early edition of "new day." this was more than just the president pressing jim comey to make this public admission that as the president sees it there is no collusion. so he pressed these two other intel chiefs. that's are not obstruction of justice but it's out of bounds according to them. >> and it sure looks like the president has something to hide. why was he working so hard to get this fbi investigation shut down. i think part of this fwoe goes back the psychology of this president. he's obsessed that it makes him look illegitimate as president and he can't get past it that somehow his election was tainted in some way, rather than being focussed on the fact that the russians tried to interfere in way that as president he has to take responaunonsibility for to protect in the future and as president he's done nothing to keep the russians at b

john. jonathan: emmanuel macron's party prepares for elections in june. the party will base parliamentary direction -- elections with a new name and in the formerter interior prime minister. more from paris, we are joined by gregoryne is welcome in the party. they must -- they may find him a little too much a reminder of the old. hem not really sure whether will be welcome. we will see. it underlines the challenge he faces. he has got to get a majority parliament. political movement is brand-new. he just created it in the last year. no policy track record. they may have been very weak and in the presidential elections, but they are still the establishment party. it is not clear-cut that he will get a majority in parliament. jonathan: potential he it could be ungovernable. the very idea he wants to be associated with the movement, does that tell you it is valuable at the moment, whether you are with another political party or not, to be a part of this? not.ybe it probably says more about the socialist party then macron's party. they are caught between a moderate social democratic wing personified by all their voters -- left, there are still serious socialist people, and a lot of them went to vote because they just
