it is how you define it, katty. one of my favorite presidents is president truman, and he changed the seal of the office of the president so that the eagle holding the trenches of war and all of branches of diplomacy, and he changed the seal so that the face of the eagle would always be toward the olive branches of diplomacy. you prefer that, you push that first, and you back it up with the military might. that is where the president always gets it wrong. today seems like the speech -- the tagline of the speech is total destruction of north korea, and yet he has officials like secretary mattis saying that the united states needs to pursue diplomatic options. where the administration falls short again and again is the diplomatic options side. the president doesn't seem to understand that that should be america's preferred position, backed up by military might. katty: you have been writing about the need for america to have a new truman doctrine. what is the downside risk of mr. trump's more isolationist approach? is

katty: newsmax ceo chris ruddy.ef time ago i spoke with for u.s.litics writerka news and world report. thank you very much. chris ruddy says he is not surprised this is happening. donald trump is better known as the divider in chief. can he really be a unifying force now? daivd: he can if the pressure mounts for him to do so. for u.s. news and world report. three months out, the end of the year he doesn't have a legislative a compliment. withs not worked republicans, so now he has nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. he has insulted them earlier. now he needs them. there is a little trepidation over how long this will last. jane: a lot of them think he is toxic. will they work with them? david: if he does things like daca, extending that program that democrats want for children of illegal immigrants, if they can get concessions and go back to their base and get some wins, i think it is acceptable. he goes with republican orthodoxy, i think they cut him loose. i don't think he has given up, but he likes the plate jiu-jits

hello, i'm katty kay in washington, and christian fraser is in london.ere's the situation in florida right now. nearly seven million people don't have power, streets are still flooded, and the islands of the keys are cut off so we don't really know what's happening there. but actually, it's not as bad as it could be. which suggests our forecasting technology is good, but not perfect. warnings of total catastrophe don't seem to have panned out. the same isn't true, however, for several caribbean islands. the locals say the response has been slow, there has been looting, there's no food, no drinking water, many parts are without power. it is truly miserable. so what's irma doing now? the storm has been downgraded to a tropical storm and is heading north towards the state of georgia. it is daylight in miami now, people have had some hours to get used to what has happened. how bad is it?” am staggered by how quickly this city is returning to normal. yesterday, this street was a raging torrent, a river of storm surging floodwaters running through the financia

thank you, katty kay!s freezer gate. conservative mp nadine dorries — no fan of mr osborne — says it's ‘an insight into the way his mind works — and always has.‘ and the prime minister's official spokesman summed it up like this: "the contents of the former chancellor's freezer are probably not a matter for me." have you got something erudite to say? i've read this paper and i think his blitzkrieg on theresa may will cause her son hurt but he is doing more damage to mr osborne's reputation than hers and the interesting thing i found out is the party conference is coming up in october and he has a ticket and may speak at some of these fringe events so she will be on the stage and he will bad—mouth her in the wings of the conference ata time her in the wings of the conference at a time when the tory party is trying to heal its divisions so there will be lots of talk about that and i don't think he will be entirely welcome if he is bad—mouthing the prime minister but we will see. i saw george osborne over bec

good afternoon to you, katty.tening to the president, what people have been saying today, he views north korea as not only a threat to america's sovereignty but oui’ threat to america's sovereignty but our allies in that region of the world, as well as iran, very much a threat to the united states, president trump feels threatened by them, but of course it was telling for me looking at the north korean seats, they were vacant during the president's remarks, so i think the intended audience might not have beenin intended audience might not have been in the house to listen to them. president rouhani has been speaking today, he said exiting such an agreement would carry a high cost for the united states, in other words they will quickly return to what they were doing before, which is enriching uranium. how does that benefit the world? i think what the president has said, and he has been clear about this, is that they are funding state terrorism for one, and secondly iran has not, in my view, been caught following the

you're right, katty.l pins of the flag. there was a fascinating op—ed in the new york times about the team—mate of the san francisco 49ers ers saying they chose to take any because they thought it was respectful and reverent. this was a traditionally religious gesture of respect, showing that they were honouring the country but also protesting so i think that trump is knowingly trying to make this about something different from what it originated as. martin luther king also knelt as well as we saw him during protests, but how much support do you think donald trump has amongst sports fans for his position on this? i presume otherwise he would not continue to wade into this. there's a report in the last 24 hours he had a meeting saying it was going well and playing to his base but i think the most startling thing in american politics in the last month was the scene 24 hours ago of the entire dallas cowboys football tea m hours ago of the entire dallas cowboys football team including its ownerjerryjones, a v

katty, let's go to you.'t learned a whole lot more over the past hour, but certainly this seems to be a much smaller scale attack than the type we saw in london in the spring. >> yeah. it's pretty unusual for the police to come out this quickly and say they'll treat this as a terrorist incident, this investigation. they're in the process of asking bystanders for any video for any photographs that they may have taken, a couple of bbc colleagues of mine have said they saw people with burns and with cuts on their faces. but you're right that the damage and the casualties as far as we can see do seem to be lower suddenly than the westminster attack and the other attack in london over the course of the summer. this is something britain and europe are seeing more and more of. they're almost impossible to eliminate in totality, the so-called lone wolf attacks. this does seem to be different, this one. we'd seen a spate of attacks with vans in london and in europe over the last year. i can't remember one where a --

hello and welcome — i'm katty kay in washington and christian fraser is in london.un week for donald trump — the un represents a lot of things he doesn't like. it's global, bureaucratic and he thinks it costs america too much money. the distrust is mutual. many un members don't like the idea of ‘america first‘ — they want mr trump to get back to serious diplomacy — issues like climate change, the nuclear deal with iran, and discussion, not tweeting, over north korea. the president arrived early in new york. today he's met the french president and the israeli prime minister and he's pitched his effort to reform the massive organisation. yet in recent years the united nations has not reached its full potential because of bureaucracy and mismanagement. while the united nations on a regular budget has increased by 140% and its staff has more doubled since 2000 we are not seeing the results in line with this investment. but i know that under the secretary—general that's changing. and it's changing fast. the bbc‘s laura trevelyan has spent the day at the un headquarters i

michelle fleury is in for katty today in new york. a chinese banquet at the white house. the invited guests on wednesday night were the top two democrats in congress. and the takeaway — well, you might call it sweet and sour. after dinner the white house told us discussions had gone very well. but what exactly did president trump agree to and did he betray his base? after dinner the two democrats, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, put out statements. they'd discussed they said a plan for tighter border security and new legislation to protect 800,000 young people brought to the united states illegally as children. the undocumented migrants are known as the dreamers. there was no discussion, they said, of funding mr trump's proposed wall along the mexican border. the republicans reacted with fury. here's three tweets to give you a flavour. steve king, the republican representative for iowa tweeted and a tweet from laura ingraham, a conservative political commentator. and american talk show host, sean hannity, didn't seem too happy either. this morning arriving in fort meyers,
