it's very concentrated, katty., those protests are continuing on certain campuses. there have been protests in the university of michigan, for example, since term started. students and protesters have been arrested there. but it's not getting the national coverage that it had been getting. and we're not seeing it in places like the universities in new york and in california, at least not in a large scale, the way we had before the end of the academic term. so, again, the polling is determined by who you're talking to and where you're doing that sampling. in those areas around michigan, it is up there with economy and with inflation, and for some, it's slightly above it. in other parts of the country, it doesn't resonate at all. you know, katty, as i'm here in new york, i think you've been looking at what has been quite a bombshell story that's landed actually here in new york but is resonating across the country, isn't it? yeah — i mean, what a crazy story. just when you thought this kind of political year couldn't

i don't know, what do you think, katty?ng in the uk, right? pressures on housing and what a problem, and what a big deal that was in the uk general election this summer. it's interesting that you heard, you know, there are similar things in other places in europe. and you can see how then that ties into immigration, and we are seeing some of that play out kind of online and with some of the trump campaign, particularly from some of his surrogates and people standing up saying, "well, there wouldn't be such high housing costs "if it weren't for immigrants moving into our area." that's an argument that i've been hearing from people around the trump campaign. now, that doesn't always necessarily correlate, it's not always that simple, but you can see how it's easy from the point of view of the trump campaign to kind of weave — i don't know if we use that word any more — anyway, weave an argument together that is, you know, that you tie in the economy, as trump has done kind of masterfully in the past, touching kind of hot butt

katty, first of all, tell us more about the interview.n many ways, i'll just say, between the two campaigns. >> i was going to say, the marriages. let's leave that where it is. >> yeah. >> it was interesting on why he thinks the race is close, the energy he is feeling from the crowds, the need to get everybody out there. i asked him also about the role he has as first second gentleman. he talks about this. he thinks about it a lot. particularly, i think on this campaign, where we have two views of masculinity. i think us women, and i'm sure you've noticed, too, gene, there is this alpha retro view of masculiity from the trump campaign. then you have tim walz and doug emhoff, who are professional men but are in supportive roles of a woman who is the principal candidate. >> yeah. >> he said something interesting. he said, you can't scold people, you can't tell them, you should have more supportive of women and women candidates and it'll help everybody, but he hopes that by leading by example, by talking about the fact he loves his wife, tha

as katty said, being in the uk, being so outspoken.she's an incredible woman, incredibly strong, and glad to hear she's doing well. >> hopefully this is good news for her. >>> time for a look at the other stories making headlines this morning. for the first time in years, u.s. and chinese military commanders spoke directly last night over the phone. it comes as both countries look to rebuild military ties in an effort to avoid conflict. the white house called the conversation constructive and respectful. placing a heavy focus on beijing's increasingly brazen claims to a huge portion of the south china sea. >>> justice elena kagan is doubling down on her push for an ethics code on the u.s. supreme court. it follows a series of reports about undisclosed gifts to some of her colleagues and private efforts to influence the justices. those calling for reforms have been advocating for an external enforcement mechanism that could be overseen by retired or experienced judges. >>> apple's new iphone comes with built-in artificial intelligence.

special correspondent for bbc news, katty kay is with us. and nbc news national affairs analyst and a partner and chief political columnist at "puck," john heilemann. >>> in a moment, we'll get to major developments out of the middle east following israel's killing of the leader of hezbollah. richard haass and admiral james stavridis are standing by with their analysis. >>> first, five weeks to go until the november election. former president donald trump spent the weekend campaigning in several key battleground states and used extreme and dark rhetoric to attack his opponent, vice president kamala harris. >> really is -- >> doubling down, if possible. >> i think it's a meltdown. i don't think you call it a double down. i mean, i'll let you say -- we can play the clips. again, even republicans are attacking him. as jonathan lemire said, you know, quietly, they're getting really worried right now. >> he reiterated his pledge to go after people who cheat in the election. he said one violent day of policing will end crime in america. and contin

check out the latest episode of our podcast — path to the presidency — with me, sumi somaskanda and katty news page on youtube. let's turn to some other important news around the world. new york city mayor eric adams has pleaded not guilty to five criminal charges. he was indicted earlier this week on allegations he accepted illegal campaign funds and luxury travel benefits from turkish nationals — in exchange for his influence as mayor. the former police officer has denied any wrongdoing and rejected calls to step down as mayor of america's most populous city. two climate activists from thejust stop 0il group have been jailed for throwing soup at vincent van gogh's sunflowers painting. one of them received a two—year sentence, while the other was handed 20 months. they were convicted of criminal damage for throwing tomato soup at the 1888 piece, before gluing their hands to the wall beneath it at the national gallery in london. the 2022 attack damaged the frame of the painting, but not the artwork itself. dame maggie smith, a british legend of the stage and screen, has died at the age of

checherina. without any pathos, now - this is the main voice of the ongoing war, or islo, if you like, in katty rings, but there were all dates, not stritsaty, dobrovolskaya, kazak abkhasiya. russian as i naively, it seems, all highly cultural several masterpieces there must be, newspapers and sites, and in general all media, defending the state point of view, write about this for a long time, talk about it in all sorts of ways, radio stations, especially rock radio stations should be standing in line, give us at least one song from the cycle that our neighbors don’t have, we’ll play them from morning till night, and the capital’s theaters, they dream of making a play, a musical based on this cycle of songs, it’s a miracle, what kind of play could come out of it, and the main concert halls, they’ve probably long ago suggested making the biggest presentation of this album, this cycle, so that all this would look like a real state event, because that’s what it is, a real state event and all the main tv channels would immediately offer to broadcast this concert to the whole country, how could it b

we're going to be back next week with katty, of course, on the path for the presidency, and we'll be. hello. well, friday brought some storms to southern parts of the uk. even a report of a damaging tornado. but at the same time, some parts of the country were also quite sunny and warm. in kew gardens, the temperatures reached 25 celsius. the days ahead are looking very different — it's turning unsettled, it's turning autumnal. a jet stream will send weather fronts in our direction. i think there's a fair amount of rain on the way, particularly across the southern half of the uk, and this time next week, some parts of the country could be around ten degrees cooler by day. now, in terms of the rainfall this weekend, you can see where most of it will be. this is just the potential for rainfall here, perhaps 50mm or so in some parts of england and wales. so it is a mixed bag this weekend. certainly some sunshine on the way, particularly across northern parts of the uk, but also heavy showers at times. so through the early hours, maybe some showers returning to southern parts of the uk,

special correspondent for bbc news katty kay. associate editor at "the washington post" eugene robinson and president emeritus of the council on foreign relations richard haass, the author of the weekly newsletter home and away on substack. >> this is considered to be start of the campaign, willie. and things are lining up. interestingly, we will be showing some polling numbers in a minute just to set it up. but i will say that the numbers have shift dramatically. in the shifts, i saw a number this weekend, over the weekend, that showed women now 45 and under see abortion as the top campaign issue, the top political issue in america over the economy. and that's gotten donald trump, you know, saying he is going to be pro-choice advocate, using pro-choice advocates' words saying i am going to be a great champion for reproductive rights and then he changes when he gets chased and then he changes back, says he is going to be against florida's six-week abortion ban. i mean, all over the place right now because the numbers certainly ar

katty kay, man city or liverpool?aughter ] >> i thought you were going to let me weigh in on the super bowl, and i was going to say, you should never, ever -- obviously, don't bet against mika on anything to do with sports. whatever mika says, i go to. >> learned that. >> tom would never forgive me if i didn't say city. >> there you go. >> well, it appears the "morning joe" consensus is chiefs against the lions. >> yeah, there you go. >> we'll see. >> what about you, joe? >> i said chiefs and lions, as well. >> okay. >> mike lupica, pablo torre, thank you very much for coming on this morning. i just can't get over that phrase. i'm never going to forget it. >> don't yuck. >> i don't know if it's okay. >> we deserve our own yums is what i'm saying. that's all. >> yeah. >> we'll sink in a quick 90-second break. >> reset. >> escort pablo off the set. >> remove him. stay with us. we'll be right back. custom ink helps us motivate our students with custom gear. we love how custom ink takes care of everything we need so we ca

. >> the end of the day, katty, it's all about money.ll about money, you know, you talk to businesspeople, talk to foreign governments, they'll tell you. they'd much rather deal with china than the united states. because when you deal with china, you pay off one or two people, you deal with one or two strongmen. you don't have to worry about a subcommittee chairman or woman holding up a bill that, maybe six months from now, we'll get from the house to the senate, and then maybe we'll get to -- you know, all the checks and balances, it drives a lot of people mad and crazy. there are no checks and balances to speak of in china or some of these other countries. >> right. what you describe as the messiness of democracy and what donald trump wants is much more transactional view of foreign policy. it's not what america has had since the end of the second world war, but that is kind of what he represents. you give us this, we'll give you that. forget the idea of global leadership, forget the idea about morals, values or ideals. as you say, it

katty it is more looks like wild berries, experienced gardeners know that it is too early to pick winteror another 3-4 weeks, and it ripens then it acquires the necessary taste. oh, what pink juice, look, what beauty. it has already gained sweetness. andacians give color not only to the pulp, but also to the peel of apples, and the result can also be very unusual. take at least the black diamond, although strictly speaking, the peel of its fruits is rather dark purple. these are apple trees. chinese origin, it was formed in tibet, in tibet there is a very short growing season literally there 2-3 months, during this time the apple tree should have time to bloom, give i... apples, apples should be well protected from ultraviolet light, that's why this variety has such a very black skin, however, if you plant a curiosity in the middle zone, its fruits will be paler, if it takes root at all, therefore this variety is not popular among summer residents, because there are more unpretentious and no less unusual specimens, this is not a plum, this is an apple tree fruit, chinese has a very pleas

i had our friends katty kay and anthony scaramucci on my podcast after the debate and there was an interestingurs before the debate. imagine that. you're just touching down a couple of hours before. that shows you the lack of preparation, the lack of seriousness. i mean, who would ever do that? it shows you how he's doing things on the fly, and i think he's obviously afraid to debate again. he knows he'll never put in the prep work, and he knows he lost, and i think this is going to work against him. i really do. if i'm kamala harris, i keep beating this to a drum. he will not debate again. he's afraid. he's running. >> and then there's jeremy peters who's coming after us. womp womp. in your new piece, jeremy, entitle "pundits said harris won the debate, undecided voters weren't so sure." you wrote this. in interviews with undecided voters, many of whom the times has interviewed regularly over the last several months, they acknowledged that ms. harris seemed more presidential than mr. trump, and they said she laid out a sweeping vision to fix some of the country's most stubborn problems, but t
