for more on this, my colleague katty kay spoke to ambassador former u.s. ssador to south korea, christopher hill. katty: we seem to be getting mixed messages from the white house -- secretary tillerson yesterday saying that talks can go ahead without preconditions, and then return the national -- word from the national security council press person saying not so fast, they are not behaving well enough, we cannot talk to them yet. which is it? are we talking or not talking? mr. hill: i suspect we are not talking. i was frankly rather surprised by secretary tillerson saying we would talk with no preconditions and he would be prepared to sit there and talk about the weather. it is not a question of preconditions. it is the question of what is the framework of the talks. when we have the six-party talks, the framework was that all six parties including north korea agreed on the purpose of the talks, which was denuclearization. today we have a situation where north korea does not agree to the nuclearization. perhaps as we say in colorado, secretary tillerson got

my colleague katty kay joined me from birmingham, alabama, for the state of the race. katty: how did it happen that a state election in alabama and the world media is down here? roy moore, who had views outside the mainstream of american politics, and now allegations of sexual abuse. but also because it has applications far beyond this state. he has the possibility of going to washington, wreaking havoc there, or we could see a democrat win in this race today , in which case that would be the first time in over two decades. either way this race is fascinating. my colleague nick bryant has been looking at the latest. nick: just when you thought american politics couldn't get weirder, judge roy moore rides to the polling station on horseback and then sets it to music. he has come to personify the polarization of this political age. to his female accusers, he is a sexual predator who molested teenage girls in his 30's. to his fans, he is a crusading evangelical, a firebrand populist in the mold of donald trump. roy moore: i want to make america great again with president t

earlier, katty kay spoke to republican congressmen francis rooney on a lively capitol hill for her program"beyond 100 days." katty: congressman, it looks like the republican party's about to pass the tax bill that some 55% of americans say they disapprove of. why are you doing it? ep. rooney: well, i think wendy the 55% of americans realize what is in the tax bill, they will change their mind. i think the liberal media in the united states has been a bit one-sided in how they described the bill. katty: well, this is always a communications effort, and it seems like the democrats have been able to give recommendations out more effectively than yours. rep. rooney: you could probably make that argument. of course, they have a more willing media to support them than we do. katty: the tax bill depends on the idea of losing american -- boosting american growth, but the tax policy center, bipartisan commission dependent group, has said that what is in the bill won't boost american gdp growth enough for the tax bill to pay for itself. you are a fiscal conservative. does adding to the american debt

katty kay, phil rucker and political analyst for msnbc, and clarence page, columnist for the chicago ry. we've seen it since the days the civil rights moved south has become the party of dixie. and alabama the party of poor people. it's not a wealthy state at all. it's not terrific when it comes to education. pretty good when it comes to football. but otherwise it's got problems down there. and it's also the party of wall street. which it is? trying to make a little limited on land or the guys living off carried interest and the breaks they get on wall street? who are they for? >> it's trying to do both and be both and that's its very problem. >> don't they put these two together? >> it's just not possible for one party to encompass the people on wall street who are socially liberal and the people in alabama who are clearly very socially conservative and now seem to think that it's okay to give their support to somebody who has been accused of let's not beat around the bush, pedophilia. >> you've got a guy like orrin hatch, who was a respectful conservative. i've known the guy forever

hello i'm katty kay in washington, christian fraser is in london. democrats today are triumphant, celebrating their first big victory in alabama in more than 20 years. they're hoping it is a sign that the political tide is turning in their favour. democratic voters turned out in almost record numbers. party leaders suggest it is the president trump affect. but how much does it reflect the rest of the country. the republican candidate roy moore was both extreme and exceptional. democrats are unlikely to run against someone quite like him anywhere else. a short time ago president trump expressed his regret over not picking up that alabama seat. we lost a seat, many republicans feel they were happy it turned out that way. but i would have liked to have the seat. with more on the dramatic results last night here is nick bryant. modern—day democrats aren't supposed to win staunchly conservative states like alabama. it's 25 years since that happened. so no wonder this blizzard of confetti to mark the shock victory of doug jones. alabama has been at a cros

earlier, my colleague katty kay spoke to democratic congressman gregory meeks for his reaction. , notglesman democrat voted for this tax reform bill. i'm sure you wouldn't argue that america is incredibly complicated tax system needs an overhaul. it has not had one since reagan was in the white house. rep. meeks: well, not a single democrat voted for it because it is a fraud. it does not benefit most americans, particularly those in the middle class. it benefits the president and his top 1% of americans, the biggest corporations of america. whatever breaks it does give the middle class, it expires in 2025. i think the american people overwhelmingly reject this proposed tax bill. it is clearly not reform. it is a tax deduction for the top 1%. katty: the republicans would argue that in cutting corporate taxes in america to put them more in line with other countries in the western world, those companies will bring money back to the country and reinvest in the american economy. surely that is a good thing for u.s. economic growth? rep. meeks: i don't disagree that the 35% tax rate should
