key trump advisor kellyanne conway has been reprimanded by the white house after she promoted a clothingld a breakfast television programme to "go buy ivanka's stuff." her comments have been labelled over the line and unacceptable. know some of the main stories from bbc world service... —— now to some of the main stories from bbc world service... the international committee of the red cross is temporarily suspending its aid programme in afghanistan after an an attack on one of its convoys killed six staff dead. two are still missing. bbc pashto, that one. bbc mundo reports that julian assange will be given a month's notice to leave the ecuadorian embassy if the country's main opposition wins the presidency in next week's election. guillermo lasso is the candidate — he was talking to the guardian. this man in australia spent hours keep his head just above water after his digger toppled into a waterhole and then pinned him where he was. he was ok. i cannot believe you haven't already seen this. he was rescued and there we re seen this. he was rescued and there were no injuries. the good ne

pitch woman, top trump advisor, federal employee, kellyanne conway standing in the white house, the people'souse, going on television and telling people to buy ivanka trump's stuff. the white house this afternoon saying conway has been counseled, but what does that mean? >>> president trump unloading on twitter against a senator after the senator revealed trump supreme court nominee called attacks on judges disheartening . here's a question.wi

maybe at 4:00 he told kellyanne conway, i have full confidence in flynn. to vice president pence, i am just making this up, who knows, maybe he had another conversation with somebody which made him take it back. i mean, that's a perfectly plausible explanation. and it also gives you a window into why this white house is having such a difficult time. i think it goes right to the top. >> there is almost like a thunderous silence from the president himself. he didn't take questions about it at friday's news conference or today's news conference when he was asked aboard air force one about flynn. i don't know anything about it. i'll look into it. blah, blah, blah. i don't hear him saying i have full confidence. certainly hasn't tweeted his support for general flynn. >> he is now acting as a politician here, allowing his aides to step in front and take the arrows. to gloria's point, it shows you the dysfunctionality within the white house, certainly within the west wing, of trying to please the president, always trying to get out in front of what he wants best.

counselor to the president, kellyanne conway is our guest, that is just ahead. obviously a lot to get to with her. also on the agenda, very serious questions about national security advisor michael flynn. did he have conversations with the russian ambassador before taking office about those sanctions that the obama administration opposed? no answers today from president trump, the question in fact didn't even come up at his press conference, but we will ask our guest about that in just a minute. also, on our agenda, stocks closing out record highs, once again today, is it the trump effect? our own stephanie rule is going to come back to join me and explain what is it that wall street seems to like about the way things are going right now? we begin though with our top story, inside the trump white house. the president at his press conference with the canadian prime minister justin trudeau just last hour. he did not get any questions from those he called on about michael flynn. national security advisor. flynn under scrutiny after a flood of press this weekend sur

plus kellyanne conway is counseled for what she said was free commercial for ivanka trump's brand. and twitter attacks on richard blumenthal and john mccain. is white house running wild or is there a method to the madness? we'll discuss all of this. pamela brown, mark preston. laura coates. alan dershowitz, f. michael higgin both am at university of baltimore and constitutional attorn attorney paige potaaid joins as well. super uber panel. you've been digging into the court documents. complete repudiation of the travel ban. >> it certainly is. big blow to the trump administration and three judges repudiated the travel ban saying in 29-page opinion that the government failed to provide enough evidence to support why this travel ban was necessary for national security, the urgency of national security as we've heard from the government and president trump specifically saying this is about national security. that's why we had to roll this out quickly. talked about the fact the government failed to show why the seven countries listed in the travel ban pose such a threat. and at one poi

could kellyanne conway face legal trouble? welcome to "early start." i'm miguel marquez. >> so much news. i'm christine romans. let's begin with this. president trump vowing to fight on in the battle over the travel ban. unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel means citizens of the muslim majority countries can travel freely to the united states. the judges determining the government relied too heavily on executive power for the ban. the president saying see you in court. security of our nation is at stake. moments later, he spoke to reporters at the white house. >> it is a political decision. we will see them in court. >> you believe the -- >> we have a situation where the security of our country is at stake. it is a serious situation. we look forward as i said to seeing them in court. >> does this under cut the early days of your presidency? >> this is a decision that came down. >> democrats and refugee groups applauding the court ruling. next, seek reexamination of the case by the larger panel of the judges or appeal directly to the supreme court. >

this is what kellyanne conway said on fox and friends. we'll listen to the moment. >> they're using the most prominent woman in donald trump's -- women in power, women in the, would place to get to him. i think people can see through that. go buy ivanka's stuff. i hate shopping and i'm going to go get some myself today. >> this after the president using the potus twitter account from the white house presumably, slamming nordstrom for dropping that line. here is what nordstrom said. they said they maefd this decision based on performance, it was a business decision. as we know, retailers are not rolling in the dough right now. if a line is doing very well, they keep it. they say over the past year, particularly in the last half of 2016 sales of the brand have steadily declined to the point where it didn't make good business sense for us to continue with the line for now. that is the statement there and the company said they had told ivanka this in january. the question is, is where is ivanka trump in all this? did her dad get defensive and

i find it interesting that kellyanne conway was going on tv making. you massacres. it's being used in memes and protest signs all over the country. howie: i think many journalistsv from personally offended by this because they have gone the on planes to cover this stuff. >> that defense is work for trump again. they pushed back so hard. let us show you all the time we covered. i'm sitting at home thinking, man, that's a lot of attacks. if they back off and say we did. >> a kernel of a concept that was worthy of more discussion that maybe we don't cover foreign policy and national security enough. was he wrong in what he said? yes. did media organizations push back as they should have? yes. in 2014, there were tons of isis beheading. then there was a discussion that maybe we shouldn't give isis that much publicity. howie: the debate was whether we give isis too much coverage. it's a hard dilemma to resolve. here is the president saying they are not covering some of these attacks adequately and they have their reasons. >> there are political reasons why the obama admi

plus kellyanne conway says she apologized to mr. trump about promoting ivanka trump's clothing line. >>> who will be the next woman to be one of the men from team trump? . too bad. we are double booked: diarrhea and abdominal pain. why don't you start without me? oh. yeah. if you're living with frequent, unpredictable diarrhea and abdominal pain, you may have irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea, or ibs-d. a condition that can be really frustrating. talk to your doctor about viberzi, a different way to treat ibs-d. viberzi is a prescription medication you take every day that helps proactively manage both diarrhea and abdominal pain at the same time. so you stay ahead of your symptoms. viberzi can cause new or worsening abdominal pain. do not take viberzi if you have or may have had: pancreas or severe liver problems, problems with alcohol abuse, long-lasting or severe constipation, or a blockage of your bowel or gallbladder. if you are taking viberzi, you should not take medicines that cause constipation. the most common side effe

kellyanne conway can get out of anything by shifting blame.ial and the jury will be angry at mariah careyy's sound guy. ( laughter ) i know a lot of you are, like, i could never do this and you are right because you have a soul. but kellyanne, she doesn't. she's my no-soulmate. so move your hate aside, once you start hating you can appreciate the art industry. another one of her moves, fake truth, real problem. you make up a lie and before anyone can refute it, cloud the discussion about real facts about a devastating unrelated issue. >> then pena nieto canceled his visit this week -- >> that was mutual. the president suggested it first on twitter. >> that he had a meeting scheduled for tuesday? do you think that's good? >> it's great they spoke for an hour. it's not great we have a $60 billion trade deficit with mexico. there is no border or respect of our sovereignty. i want fox news to interview all parents who lost parents to opiate abuse. ( laughter ) >> come on! i see your canceled meeting and raise you a heroin epidemic?! this is amazin

. >> comments also from kellyanne conway from earlier this week. this is not what she was counciled about but something she said to cnn earlier this week is that is it president doesn't comment on everything, so i want to contrast the statements about nordstrom with the lack of comments about some other things including for example the attack on quebec mosque and other similar environments. why is the president when he chooses -- >> you just brought that up. i opened a briefing a couple of days ago about the president and his condolences i literally opened the briefing about it. why are you asking why he didn't do it when i literally stood here and -- >> kellyanne's comments were that the president doesn't have time to tweet about everything. >> right. >> he's not tweeting about this. >> i came out and -- >> you're akwequating me with a tweet -- thank you you've asked your question, thank you. >> does that not diminish the language that you're using? >> go ahead. >> -- by republicans was his executive use of orders, and the president signed three m

we saw comments made by kellyanne conway. what are they saying tonight?ll, normally, anderson by now we have an official white house statement from the press secretary responding to what happened at the ninth circuit court of appeals. we haven't got such statement at this point but had the president go to reporters in the hallway shortly after the decision was announced. he called this decision political and said the nation's security is at steak and he expects administration to prevail. i had a chance to catch up with the counselor to the president, kellyanne conway who echoed the comments but said she hopes the merits of the case will be considered at the next level, whatever level that might be. here is what she had to say. do you see this as a setback? >> he sees it as a statute provides the president of this case with great latitude and authority to protect the citizens and the nation's national security. this was not argued on the merits. we'll have an opportunity to argue on the merits and look forward to doing that and prevailing. i think his twee

that was an hour after kellyanne conway had said on msnbc that the president had confidence in general flynn. but clearly, this report that has since broken that sally yates, the former acting attorney general, had warned general flynn and members of the white house top team several weeks ago that there was a risk the russians could be blackmailing general flynn with information about communications with general flynn that he had not reported accurately to his colleagues. brian? >> andrea, for folks just tuning in who haven't followed this story as you and i have today, let me see if i get this right. new sanctions come out in the waning days and hours, really, of the obama administration -- >> correct. >> -- and we expect russia and putin to react, react angrily as they usually do, but they don't. and the absence of a negative reaction causes american intel officials to look back through the intel that they take in all the time, that both sides know they take in all the time. buried in that intel is a conversation between mike flynn, who is poised to be the national security adviser t

does it make it okay for kellyanne conway to use time paid for by the american taxpayer to hawk clothingpresident's daughter and tell people they should buy that? does that make any sense? >> kellyanne did not profit from this, period. she's not ivanka trump. this is not like ivanka was secretary of state and stood up there and said buy my stuff. >> jeffrey, just to be clear, kellyanne conway is being paid with taxpayer dollars. is it okay for our taxpayer daughters to be paying a senior adviser to the president to be selling clothes and accessories from the white house. >> john, no one cares, unless they have something politically to profit from it. no one cares. we have isis, the economy. this is exactly the kind of things that is emblematic with what's wrong with how washington operates. >> that begs the question why would she say it in the first place. she was nod skbt about whether or not people should support the president's daughter by going out and buying clothes. she pivoted to that. >> governor, let's bring you into this discussion. i think one of the open questions has been wi

after kellyanne conway, there have been plenty of lawyers gone on tv and not necessarily told the truthe. why go after her >> going after kellyanne conway is a response to the fact that she has the loudist mega phone at the moment and she has the greatest responsibility. it's one thing for a lawyer to say something in private. it's quite another to go into the public arena and speak dishonestly and we think that principle is so important it has been enforced and it's not always enforced for sure but in this kind of a situation, with all of the, that is riding on everything she says these days, it is incredibly important, particularly in a world of alternative facts when we, as a profession want to be remind our students, colleagues at the bar, judges and everyone else, that we have special standards that apply to lawyers and they even when you're a public citizen? what is it you're hoping comes out of this letter? you know, perhaps disbarment but what can happen to her when it comes to punishment via the white house? >> she is suspended because she hasn't paid her bar dues. what can hap

mercedes: wise words from a counselor to the president, kellyanne conway. we are so honored that she is with us again here at cpac, a regular visitor here. kellyanne: i have one last piece of advice for women, just because i want to tell a story that everybody always begs me to tell. i have been telling it for a long time. some of you may have heard it before. i often in my career literally did not know how to express my value and ask for what i thought i deserved and i had earned. this is a long time ago story that is still enduring to this moment. i remind myself of it almost every day. i was young in my career. my company was a year old. i was a cnn paid political analyst at the time, and somebody called from an agency and said, "hey, we have a request from the financial institution for you and a democratic pollster, obviously a man, to come speak with us on september 28 about the election." i said, "ok." they said, "september 20, you can each speak for 20 minutes, a 20 minute q&a, a preview of what you think will happen in the election and talk to us a l

kellyanne conway is a special adviser to donald trump.so came out yesterday afternoon to say michael flynn, the former national security adviser, enjoy the full support of president trump, only for him to resign if you hours later for the white house has said that kellyanne conway has been counselled about her comment regarding ivanka trump's products and we will wait to see what punishment if any is given to her. another one to watch. thank you for that. the united nations says it's willing to use further force against militia in the central african republic to prevent the country sliding back into anarchy. thousands of un peacekeepers have been deployed amid fears of genocide. rival christian and muslim militias began fighting in the car more than three years ago. one fragile un red line is around the town of bambari, where thousands of civilians have sought shelter. from there our special correspondent fergal keane reports. out in the countryside, the un has already fired the first shots to ward off an assault on bambari, but the town

kellyanne conway made the absolutely false claim that the non-existent quote terror mass consider caused president obama to -- iraqis, so much attack happened and because no such ban ever took place. >> here is conway. >> these are very narrowly prescribed and temporary, i bet there was very little coverage. i bet it's brand new information that president obama had a six-month ban after two iraqis came here to the country, radicalized and master minds behind the bowling green massacre, it didn't get covered. >> that was the original interview, kellyanne conway this morning said she miss spoke saying she meant to say bowling -- these two men never planned or committed a terror attack on u.s. soil. as for the sixth-month ban, i don't think after the men were arrested president obama ordered the revetting of nearly 60,000 iraqi refugees, resulting in a delay in letting anymore in. the bogus massacre and ban were met with massive blowback, chelsea clinton tweeted, very grateful no one seriously hurt in the attack, the bowling green mass consider, please don't make up attacks. >> we have bria

kellyanne conway is a special adviser to donald trump.the former security adviser, enjoyed the full support of president trump, only for him to resign a few hours later. the white house has said that kellyanne conway has been counselled about her comments regarding ivanka trump's products, we will wait to see whether any punishment is handed out to her. now, a unique opportunity from the bbc — applications are now open for the bbc world news komla dumor award. ivanka it was launched in 2015 following the unexpected death of the bbc‘s komla dumor in 2014 — at the age ofjust 41. komla was an outstanding african journalist and much—loved across the continent, so the aim of this award is to continue his legacy by recognising and nurturing the next generation ofjournalism talent in africa. it's the third year now of this award, and this is how you can get involved. in memory of our friend and colleague komla dumor, we wanted this award to ensure investment in the future of african journalism. we have had two winners so far. up to 13,000 applic

eastern kellyanne conway says the president has full confidence with flynn. then the press secretary sean spicer says the president is evaluating the situation. no repeat of the words full confidence. and then they put out another statement saying that that is the operative statement, that's what the president wants the public to know, that the situation is being evaluated? >> this is the first three weeks of a new administration, but it suggests they haven't gotten their sea legs. and there is a keystone aspect to their operation. having concern on the message on such an important issue on whether the national security adviser retains the president's confidence or is being reviewsed, is a message control issue and i think that this frankly does not reflect well on the trump administration. >> we heard on the democratic leader, chuck schumer, he wants an independent investigation of flynn, conversations he had with the russian ambassador to the united states and in the meantime he wants flynn's national security clearances to be revoked. do you agree with him

>> well, first of all, kellyanne conway is a train wreck. starts out her job by talking about alternative facts and caught in a massive lie and here she clearly violates federal law by urging people to buy a product that is associated with the president. but, again, it starts from the top. the president attacked nordstrom's. kellyanne conway takes her lead from the tone that's set by the president. look, this is an administration that doesn't believe the president himself said that he's not con strant by any conflicts laws. that permeates through the entire administration. >> let's give the viewers that law. it's u.s. code. it says an employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain for endorsement of product, service or enterprise. so that's what it says. we are seeing at least the beginning os of oversight over this administration. let's go over to pete williams and talk a little bit about neil gorsuch. a lot of controversy right now about whether or not neil gorsuch has the obligation to go out in front of the american pe

kellyanne conway. what drives you? >> first of all, everything you just said is a complete and absolute blessing. women in this country work so hard and not all of them get their shot and i feel like i worked hard but i also got my opportunity which puts me in a different category of blessings. i was raised in a house, i call it south jerseys version of the golden girls. nobody ever had a single political conversation. my mom, her mom, two of my mother's unmarried sisters, my father sisters, my father left when i was young, we have a great relationship now, but i was raised to be a very, very strong and independent woman without anybody ever having to say the word feminist or having a political conversation. we were taught to be free thinking, independent and look at your goals in the old saying you can never go home was never true in my community. we always felt like we could go home and i believe that donald trump is someone who is not fully understood for how compassionate and what a great posse is to women. he has

her guest, counselor to the president, kellyanne conway. that is up next. >> martha: breaking tonight, we are awaiting the very first reaction from the white house. kellyanne conway about to join us after her ongoing meeting with the president and the white house right now. we will also get remarks in the governor of washington state after the ninth circuit court of appeals rejects national security warnings from the president and rules against the white house for the first showdown between president trump and the courts, which has happened just 21 days into his still young presidency. i am martha maccallum entasis "the first 100 days" with a lot of breaking news tonight. so, moments ago, the judges that you heard debating my case live here handed down the highly anticipated disaster and against the president. they will not allow the president's executive orders on the extreme vetting, the controversial and serious campaign promises to go forward for now. the decision nearly guarantees that despite it will go to the supreme court most likel

senior counsel to the president kellyanne conway being hit with bipartisan criticism for seeming to sell ivanka trump's clothes during an interview. now new information about what happened between conway and president trump after those comments. >> a senior administration official telling us conway apologized to the president for doing this and that he backed her up, quote, completely. just this morning she tweeted "potus supports me." here to discuss, david ger again, former presidential adviser to nixon, ford, reagan, and clinton. tamara keith, white house correspondent for npr. and laura coates, cnn analyst and former federal prosecutor. david gergen, i was schooled by jeffrey lord in the last hour who told me i am wrong and the american people don't care about this at all and we shouldn't be talking about this. but apparently democrats and republicans on the house oversight committee think this is important and that kellyanne conway violated the law as it relates to ethics and government employ employees. how do you see it? >> it's a story. there is a clear ethics rule. if you're wor

kellyanne conway is practically demanding ivanka trump. for lower back pain sufferers, the search for relief often leads... here... here... or here. today, there's another option. drug-free aleve direct therapy. a tens device with high intensity power that uses technology once only available in doctors' offices. its wireless remote lets you control the intensity, and helps you get back to things like this... this... or this. and back to being yourself. aleve direct therapy. find yours in the pain relief aisle. if you're approaching 65, now's the time to get your ducks in a row. to learn about medicare, and the options you have. you see, medicare doesn't cover everything - only about 80% of your part b medical expenses. the rest is up to you. so if 65 is around the corner, think about an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company. like all standardized medicare supplement insurance plans, they help cover some of what medicare doesn't pay. and could save you in out-of-pocket medical costs. so don't

kellyanne conway. but drives you? >> first of all, everything you just said is complete and absolute blessing. women in this country work so hard and not all of them get their shot. i feel like i worked hard but i also got my opportunity, which fits in a different category of blessings. i was raised in the hospital itself jersey's version of the golden girls. nobody ever had a single political conversation on my mom, her mom, two of my mothers under its histories. my father left when i was done in a secret relationship now and sit with me for children. i was raised to be strong and independent woman without anybody seeing the word feminist or have any political conversation. we were just taught to be freethinking, independent to the pitcher g-golf and saying you could never go home was never true in my community. we always felt like we could go home. i believe that donald trump is someone who is not fully understood for how compassionate and what a great aussie is to women. he has been promoting an elevating women in

the government of the office crashed following kellyanne conway's comment. p lawmakers in the house oversight committee in a rare moment of agreement asked for the office to view conway's comments and ask for disciplinary action if warranted but the recommendation goes to the executive branch which said conway had been, quote, counseled. last night conway commented on that and the letter from congress. >> how were you counseled? >> i'm not going to comment on that. >> they say that they consider that to be a very serious, potentially a serious violation of the government ethics code. >> where is that letter? and we are reviewing that internally. i'm happy i spent a lot of time with the president of the united states this afternoon and that he supports me 100%. we spoke about a range of matters and he supports me 100%. in fact, it was a very heartening moment. all i can say to american women at sominin your life you ought to have a boss who treated me the way the president of the united states treated me today. >> that was kellyanne conway last night. a report

and we went into sean spicer's office after he had a conversation with kellyanne conway as kellyanne conway quickly walked out of his office, we walked into sean spicer's office. what he emphasized to me and other reporters in the room is the reason why he was putting out the statement that flynn was being evaluated was based on the latest assessment, the latest information coming in to the president. they were not trying to make a judgment or a statement about what kellyanne conway said but they said essentially this is where we stand right now. as i told you earlier, anderson, a senior administration official said michael flynn, the national security adviser, is in a, quote, gray area. anderson, it's difficult to get out of that position once you're in it. that usually means things are not heading in a good direction when a top official is described in that fashion, anderson. >> jim acosta, appreciate that. a lot to talk about with the panel. the "new york times" political reporter alex burns, white house correspondent maggie haberman, contributing editor, jeffrey lord, paul begala,

that mistake struck again when kellyanne conway spoke to tmc.mme for six months in 2011, and no one covered it. nobody noticed. he did that because i presume there were two iraqis who came here, got radicalised, joined isis and work the masterminds behind the bowling green attack on our grieving soldiers. three examples. kellyanne conway is one of the most important people within the trump administration. what you make of those three examples? i think she got a talking point stuck in her head and she kept going with it, even though it wasn't based on fact. she may have been conflating it with a shooting in chattanooga, tennessee, were some soldiers were killed at the recruiting station. tennessee, kentucky, states near each other. maybe she just confused them. no one checked on that area. no one saw those earlier comments about the bowling green massacre. it wasn't until recently most people notice. she got away with it, is stuck in her head and she went from there. thank you, as ever. anthony life from washington. if you want extensive coverage

kellyanne conway would never come on this program. are programs on other networks they will never go on and they are all doing very, very well. rachel maddow got kellyanne conway once but it's not going to be frequent. rachel is doing fantastically well. without having this constant access journalism game. >> well, there's a myth withdrew you have to have certain people on to get good ratings and there's not direct coalition. the fact -- every time donald trump went on in 2015, 2016, cable networks saw their ratings spike so that became almost like a drug, you know, we need to get him back to keep these ratings high. trump would sometimes make it explicit, i heard accounts from producers at other networks, before he'd go on the air he said we're not going to ask me about the birther stuff, right? we're not going to talk about that tonight. the implication was if the anchor asked him about it, he wouldn't be back the next time. that gave him a measure of control. now these networks don't need trump. they don't even need kellyanne conwa

kellyanne conway is paid by the taxpayers, she's paid by us. we all, not just journalists, people watching this program, expect attention to detail and attention to the facts. ultimately it's not about journalists who are just bothered by this, it's about all the people online on that social media that larry was talking about, who look at this and laugh but there's something more than laughter too. she's sowing fear, creating fear and confusion. that's not helpful when we're talking about a controversial policy. >> i'll correct a minor mistake i just made, it's 13 hours, not 13 days. >> that's what we do, we correct our mistakes. what is their accountability at all? will she apologize for this, address it in more detail, or will spicer blame the media? >> you bring up mr. trump believes there are all these fraudulent votes and he was going to launch this big investigation. we haven't really heard much about that. he seems to be backing away from that. so is he now discovering that, you know, the american people aren't quite so gullible any long

kellyanne conway saying flynn had the full confidence of the president. late last night he then resigns. i guess given that time line that i just went through, does it -- david, does it me sense to you that this is the order of events? >> well, none of this actually makes a lot of sense. i think to extend a little bit what have the congressman was just saying, the story that was being put out to the american public was misleading. but look at it from the russian perspective. the russians knew what happened in that phone call back at the end of december. and they knew that flynn knew, obviously, what went on in that phone call and that the vice president had been put out and sean spicer had been put out to tell something that was not true. from the russian's perspective during all of this, they must have been thinking we have a great opportunity here. we have a national security adviser who is willing to mislead the vice president, who then misleads the american people. and whenever it was that that sally yates notified the white house of the concern there
