katty: that is a good lesson in the unintended consequences of foreign pocy. one of the calculations the british government needs to make when it assesses how tough to respond to russia is what impact they could have on the cost of housing in london. clearly they are caught inhis rather faustian pact. we do not want to put too much pressure on russia because that would affect house prices. wendy: one of the things i talk whichin the book, katty, you understand incredibly well, is the cost of courage. you have to pay a price, no waii arou my folks took a very firm stand on civil rights which cost them economically in terms of are residentia estate business. everything does come at a price, and quite correctly, -- quite frankly i hope that those in , great britain will think hard about what is important here, and take the longer view than immediate cost of housin christian: if the price of oil goes up, ambassador, that will benefit the iranians as well. given the amount of time you spent negotiing the nuclear deal, give me your thoughts. do you think it is possi

katty: thanks very much for coming in. how frustrating is it that you look at eight polls inhe last o weeks that shows the seesident's approval rating decline and yet yothis good economic news? kayleigh: we are not frustrated by it at the republican national committee, and the reason i say that is the rasmussen poll hast the presid points higher. it was the most accurate poll during the 2016 election.ce we don't arily believe those numbers. katty: right, but it is hard to dismiss eight different polls. i would take your point if it is just one poll, but we have eight different falls with a three-point decline over the past two weeks. you cannot dismiss that totally. kayleighwell, there were zens of polls showing hillary clinton winning in pennsylvania and wisconsin and michigan. all of those were wrong. we believe there is a phenomenon where votersino not trust itutions and they don't want to talk to pollsters. they hang up the phone, they don't register support on the record, but nevertheless harbor their support inside.

this is beyond 100 days, with me katty in washington. alternative realities, as america prepares for a major hurricane, the president insists the death toll input taricco last year was massively exaggerated. for people on the us is closed that argument is not much comfort, they still have to get through the next two days of a huge storm. the winds up, the waves are up and florence is now starting to batter the carolina coastline. yes, north carolina is already feeling the effects of hurricane florence. it's about 100 miles from here and now the threat includes tornadoes. an independent study says 3000 people died from hurricane maria last year. also on the programme. the prime suspects in the poisoning of a former spy in the uk, tell russia today they were just visiting salisbury as tourists. to admire the historic cathedral spire. our friends had been suggesting for a long time we visit this wonderful town. salisbury, suggesting for a long time we visit this wonderfultown. salisbury, a wonderful time? there is the famous cathedral, in t

i'm katty kay in washington and christian fraser is in london.ime is fast running out for millions of people on the us atlantic coast to finalise their preparations ahead of hurricane florence. they need to use these final hours to get the sandbags in, board windows, stock up on water and petrol and — if they're in the path of a direct hit — evacuate now. out at sea, we're told florence is tossing up monster waves — some 25 metres high. its path has shifted and it could now linger on the coast, dumping huge amounts of rain. america is used to hurricanes but this one is being taken very seriously. good morning. it is wednesday, september 12th, 2018. welcome to cbs this morning. hurricane florence is being called the storm of a lifetime as millions evactuate the carolina coastline. today is your last day to get out of the areas that have been placed under evacuation orders. the storm surge could be between nine and 13 feet and that is higher than some homes. this storm is big and it is vicious. people in north carolina are used to storms but this o

it's rapidly turning into a bitter partisan standoff, as the bbc‘s katty kay reports.hristine blasey ford says she's received death threats and has had to move house since her allegation against brett kavanaugh was made public on sunday. mr trump's sympathies today seemed to be more with the accused than the accuser. as you know, justice kavanaugh has been treated very, very tough, and his family, i think it's a very unfair thing what's going on. dr ford's lawyers have written to the senatejudiciary committee to say she doesn't want to appear before the judge and wants an fbi investigation. that refusal to testify has angered even sympathetic republicans, like senator bob corker, who now says there should be a vote to confirm the judge on monday if dr ford doesn't appear. but one other important voice is recommending a pause. anita hill went through similar hearings in 1991 and was widely seen to be treated badly. my advice is to push the pause button on this hearing, get the information together, bring in the experts, and put together a hearing that is fair, that is i

i am katty kay in washington. christian fraser is in london. us senatejusticiary committee is a very busy place today. they are preparing for a major hearing tomorrow involving brett kavanaugh and a woman who accuses him of sexual assault. and now, with less than 2a hours to go, they have to deal with another accusation against mr trump's supreme court nominee — the third of its kind. the latest report has been surfaced by the lawyer michael avenatti, who says a client of his called julie swetnick has serious allegations against mr kavanaugh. we should point out that mr avenatti represents stormy daniels, the porn star who alleges she had an affair with mr trump and was paid by him to remain silent about it. in the last few moments, the president responded to the lawyer's claim. the bbc‘s anthony zurcherjoins us now to help go through this. where are we? what is going on? less than 2a hours from the hearing here in dc, we are in a situation where republicans don't know what to do. they are caught off guard bit by this. if you saw in that donald
