dan merica joins me now. what is the president saying?the president plans to use the perch of his first state of the union. remember, he gave a speech earlier to a joined session of congress in member of last year, but this will be his first real state of the union. he plans to use it as a salesman in chief. he wants to at that time immigration plan his administration rolled out earlier in the month and try and sell it not only to the lawmaker in the room but a pretty skeptical american public as you correctly noted, democrats and republicans have been slamming this bill, this plan really since it came out. republicans think it's way too easy on daca recipients and democrats there are too many things added to the bill ending the visa lottery programming and tightening up the way that family immigration is handled. all of that they say is way too much to exchange for a daca bill. now, president trump tweeted this morning already kind of jumping on democrats for immigration. i want to read you one particular tweet. that is, you know, politi

newspapers for defamation some things don't just happen by chance it was very striking there were no more merica specially good ole walks off people from the brics countries specially brazil russia and china that this special project reveals what was missed in the media coverage. of the panama chronicles. unfortunately it appears that once people learn that you've reported in a sexual assault or may have been involved in an incident that they become scared if you instead of being scared of the perpetrator. welcome back with me now is broadcaster and former liberal democrat member of parliament member to pick lembit before we go on to your real newspaper stories i noticed a lot of interest in this country about the diana story in the daily mirror saying british police told me princess diana was murdered death quest driver's dad claims on was collateral damage implored what do you make of all that you see the documentary it continues to be the conspiracy theory of the day it's been going on for twenty years now frankly somebody saying i was told that princess diana was murdered isn't really proof

cnn politics reporter dan merica joining us now.now the president is calling out democrats ahead of this speech. walk us through what has been said thus far. >> the president, we are told, is really going to put on his salesman and chief hat on tuesday night and try to sell this unpopular immigration plan. the white house rolled it out last week. they managed to upset both democrats and republicans. you remember the plan would include a path waway for citizenship for 1.8 million and include funding for the border wall and immigration laws across the board really. democrats say they will be giving up too much to protect the daca population. republicans are saying you're giving way too many people a pathway to citizenship. plenty of presidents in the past have used their state of the union to reach across the aisle to spoke, not just to their base, but a broader american population and president trump is going to try and do that. the tweets that he sent last night on immigration don't really seem to lend itself to that possibility. he

the first one the united states grows so does the world america is roaring back merica is a cutting edge john and that's what we're doing in america and the results showed one mistake america's future has never been brighter i will always put america first i believe in america to come to america where you can innovate create and build now that pretty much wraps up his whole speech which centered on progress that's been made in the u.s. in the presence of opinion since he came to the white house he touched specifically on the booming stock market on the recent tax reform that he signed and the progress against eisel he also went on to say that leaders should be cheerleaders for their own countries and that he's a cheerleader for the u.s. and that's easy for him because he loves the country so much now of course trump being trump he didn't forget to mention the media during his time on the stage let's take a quick listen as a businessman i was always treated really well by the press you know the numbers speak and things happen but i've really had a very good press and it was until i became

he doesn't want to merica to get ripped off anymore that's a simple as that and the american people are really backing him one hundred percent when i look at my twitter and i typically do polls and get a sense of where the voters are on my twitter they're one hundred percent loving this economy they're loving the job growth of two million jobs they're loving the fact that there's a trillion dollars of new wealth and is a commie we've never been this wealthy in since f.d.r. and so really really really enjoying that but make no bones about it he said every forty eight hours in a campaign speech or a core a year he'd held a rally for every forty eight hours he said bill that wall ok that is a campaign promise that he is going to keep and that is very popular among his orders miss apollo i mean let's look into what's next what the options available for all the parties now that could be this stopgap measure that's called allow for a short term deal that could go for a month whether democrats will give the go ahead for the eighteen billion dollars for the border security in exchange for a lev

well i think america always put when there whenever these sorts of to ation some develop merica tends to play a wait and see game but i think um i think with the recent news of the border guards. and that was something else which paul alluded to which has alarmed mr adelman and chris were you know this new situation now with america has supposedly supported thirty thousand border guards many of whom will be on the iraq border presumably vetting or if you like allowing a stream is ice or guys come across the border back into turkey that's you know it's really the huge issue i think at the moment so america you know i think we want him to think immediately it's quite rich from rex tillerson now to ask for statements now about what's going on but i think america is has not really played a very dynamic role we'll have to see in the future in a couple of days whether they will actually make a move and try and control the situation but i'm not expecting dynamism from from the trunk camp who you know we were going to be frank trumps foreign policies is really a blank sheet of paper. martin a

first though let's head to dab also we have a diplomatic editor james bays and so we're hearing a merica first speech there from china no surprises there but what was interesting was that he did stick to his script and it was perhaps a tone that we are not accustomed to hearing from president trying yeah he was being very careful in this speech as you say he was sticking to the words in the speech the words that appeared on the teleprompter in front of him i think will be a sigh of relief from the white house which didn't need another problem right now anderson relief from those here of the world economic forum because they know what president trump has said about global trade in the past in this body which has existed for norm fifty years is devoted to open global trade so they could have perhaps been concerned about the america first president with a message from what we saw here today which was affectively the salesman in chief was america first but not alone although there were some words of criticism for countries in the world he says breach the global norms of trade there was nothi

conference coming from washington 30 years ago, we might have been coming here asking washington to save .merica my mesh and -- message to washington is very clear. we are here to save you. we have politics dividing itself -- defining itself by what they can take away from the american people and what they can do to divide us. we will not be divided. we judge our success by what we add and how we multiply our successes. i'm excited to bring the summer games back to america for the first time in 30 years in los angeles. washington is finally talking about infrastructure. it is time for washington to match us. we need to make sure we rebuild our bridges, streets, public transportation, and electrical grid. as we move for here today, we may see some people who send out tweets but we are fixing the , streets. we are going out there and taking politics seriously. we want to see things get done. we have often helped each other out, we may have to bail each other out. -- thank you. these threats are nothing short of a distraction, because when you are threatening people with things that are not going t

we think would grow less in 2018, it's probably the uk of all the ten countries in europe and the mericas the slowdown is beginning to be felt you know, in terms of our bank, we are the most resilient bank, according to the bank of england stress test. i think we're well placed in a less favorable economic environment. on brexit, i'm an optimist i believe europe and the uk, it's in both interests to have a deal ta makes sense and helps sustainable and inclusive growth i have confidence in our leaders that they'll come to a good arrangement. >> and spain domestically. i have to ask about catalonia. we still don't know what will happen with carles puigdemont, and he's been encouraged to come back and form a government which will infuriate madrid. what do you think the challenges are for you negotiating this story? >> well, you know, we don't know what will happen we know what is not going to happen we're not going to have the same scenario as before spain has strong institutions. i think spain is stronger than before the crisis. it was a big crisis. we have the tools to deal with that in ou

donald trump, president of the united states of merica, which remarks dishonor the celebrated americanespect for diversity and human dignity. the african union mission condemns the comments in the strongest terms and demands a retraction of the comment as well as an apology to not only the africans, but all people of african descent around the globe. gloria, this represents, you know, dozens of countries in africa, and they are outraged right now. >> well, you know, we've seen today that the ambassador in botswana had been summoned. you have a president creating an international incident here. with a lot of ramifications. i mean, you know, we are -- presidents have gone in recent decades have gone out of their ways to establish good relationships around the world, including africa, and this is a president now who is in the process of undoing everything that has been done. and, you know, you have the congressional black caucus talking about censuring the president of the united states. so i think that, you know, what can i -- what can i add to that? that i can say that doesn't surprise

. >> well, i have a story with jeff zeleny and dan merica about what's going on inside the white house and the two most senior officials that are on the potential, and i underscore potential, list of people who might leave the white house in the near future are h.r. mcmaster, the national security advis adviser, and the white house counsel don mcgahn. now, mcgahn, let's just start with him, he obviously has been very, very much involved in the russia investigation. he's even a potential witness in the russia investigation, but the president has, we are told, said some things about his disregard for some of the actions that mcgahn has made. he was also the president's lawyer during the campaign. he's been with him for some time. so it also wouldn't be surprising just for personal reasons he's had enough. as you know, that happens a lot after the first full year of any white house. second, with h.r. mcmaster, he is an active duty general. he certainly is a commanding presence inside the white house, we know, but he also has clashed with the president on some really important foreign poli
