at this time i'd like to throw it over to our interview, chicago tribune film critic michael phillips. [applaus [applause]. >> thank you, thanks for coming out today and it's my pleasure to talk with mark bowden about his new book hue 1968. for those of you who don't know his resume', he's a national correspondent for the atlantic, contributing editor "vanity fair," a writer, and author of many books on subjects all over the-- literally all over the world, from colombia and pablo escobar, an account to d-day, to the killing of usama bin laden, many subjects. probably best known for blackhawk down, an account of the 1993 raid in somalia that led to two-u.s. army blackhawk helicopters being down over downtown mogadishu and the grueling 15-hour result. and the new book, which is out this week from atlantic monthly press is a very different scope, i'd say, than blackhawk down. it's also being made into a mini series already. the thing hasn't been out three days, and the producer and director of what's going to be between eight and ten hours in the end, of this mini series is michael mann

with the planned visit to phoenix. >> michael crowley kimberly, phillip remain with us. phillip put it all together. our conversation tomorrow night will obviously be markedly different. as i was saying to kim, this -- tonight's message was almost designed to last what 23, 24 hours. >> or even a couple hours if the president decides to tweet later tonight. but look he is going to phoenix arizona. i've been to some rallies and campaign in phoenix. they get hot. you know he is talking about immigration there. talking a huge crowd of supporters mae in fact say something about pardonly sheriff jo arpaio and could be a controversial evening for him and certainly change in the tone from the script we heard tonight. >> michael crowley there will be politics in the air. think about it. the president has attacked both senators from arizona -- by the way, they're both republican senators from arizona, flake and mccain. >> right. i mean it's -- we're -- how many times have with we said this brian. we're in uncharted waters. yet i listen to susan collins talk i listen to grows quest

michael fallon, in which he writes... i felt it was bittersweet. again, it was for phillip. iraq's almost forgotten now.m. people don't want to remember iraq. but at least, the end of it, it was worth it. not his death, but for him to be remembered for what i've done in his name. major matthew bacon was killed in a snatch in iraq in 2005. his father, roger, who didn't bring a legal case, also now wants an apology. why didn't they think about all those other families that have suffered in the same way? the secretaries of state should now write to all of us and apologise for what happened. sue's 12—year legal battle with the army that sent her son to iraq is finally over. but her grief will endure. clive coleman, bbc news. in the last few minutes, breaking news from washington. donald trump's chief strategist, stephen bannon, has been fired from his post. let's go to washington and our correspondent. another high—profile departure. do we know what has happened? this extraordinary merry—go—round that is the trump white house and another player flung out. perhaps the most controversial of them all, stephen

as michael said, phillip schrieber cline's work that came out over a half century ago, entitled "presidentames buchanan" remains the most thoroughly documented biography of the 15th president. and cline is one who viewed buchanan much as i think buchanan would have liked to have viewed himself. and this is something that implied by the title of the proposed title of klein's work that his publisher rejected. klein wanted to entitle his book "cursed are the peace-makers." and penn state university press said, no. but, for klein, buchanan was a unionist first and foremost and a believer in small government. according to klein, buchanan believed that northerners and southerners should put aside their differences regarding slavery for the sake of national cohesion. as i said, klein's work is one that is well researched. he went through all of the buchanan manuscripts and related manuscript collections. but his sympathetic portrayal, sympathetic depiction, of the -- of buchanan has failed to persuade specialists writing on the period. like buchanan, klein was one who viewed the disputes over sla

. >> here to share their reporting and their insights, michael sheerer of the "new york times," abbey phillips of the "washington post," and cnn's ryan lizza. and jim sciuto is here to talk about what's going on, the latest information you're getting from your sources with the situation, you spent a lot of time, you lived in asia, so you understand the complexities of this and the kind of nature of this very difficult diplomacy. what are you hearing? >> reporter: well, it seems to be a very public and very deliberate walk back or clarification you might say of the president's comments yesterday. military officials telling us that there are no plans for additional military steps or deployment of resources, for instance, to guam, which is what north korea threatened to strike with medium range ballistic missiles following the president's tough talk yesterday. we did hear from the commander of u.s. missile defense forces today saying that he's confident that u.s. missile defenses could handle a north korean icbm, but also the top u.s. diplomat, secretary tillerson during his trip said the followi

michael: to which is it an indicator? in other words, is it the phillipsroken or nehru is lower than it has been in the past? >> i don't know i will have a good answer for you because many people are studying that very issue. the things i look at when i look at inflation -- goods, the price of goods. that has been falling. maybe that is good to technology. there are a number of factors i think maybe pressing down. services, two thirds, the economy -- you see those rates are actually staying at 2% and higher. in the context of the economy we have today, that is why i think you have to be caps on getting too focused on a point estimate as opposed to the broader trends you see and the expectations out there. michael: speaking of expectations, with inflation not rising, five months of disappointment. market expectations are falling. is that problem for a fed that has said expectations are key to keeping prices stable? >> i think you have to pay careful attention to that. i would include myself there. what, you have to know drives those expectations. that is th

michael: to what extent is inflation a lagging indicator? it develops curve broken -- is the phillipshat happened to inflation? many people are setting that issue. when i look at inflation, the price of goods, that has been falling. maybe due to technology. there are a number of factors pressing down. when you look at services, the those rates are staying at 2% and higher. in the context of the economy we have today, that is why i think you have to be careful getting too focused on a point estimate opposed to the broader trends you see in the expectations out there. michael: speaking of expectations, with inflation not rising, market expectations are following. is that a problem for a fed that has always said expectations are key to keeping prices stable? esther: i think you have to pay very close attention to that. you have to know what drives those expectations. that is the challenge, constantly looking at what is going on in the account -- economy and what might be reflected in those numbers as opposed to overreacting to some specific point estimate you see. julia: esther george sp

michael: to what extent is inflation a lagging indicator, something that fed officials have argued for a long time? in other words, is the phillipslower than it has been in the past, what has happened to inflation? esther: i don't know if i have a good answer for you there, many people are studying that very issue. things i look at when i look at inflation, the price of goods, that has been falling. maybe that is due to technology. there are a number of factors i think have been pressing down. when you look at services, which is 2/3 of the economy, you see those rates have been saying at 2% and higher. in the context of the economy we have today, i think you have to be careful getting too focused on point estimates as opposed to the broader trends that you see and the expectations out there. >> i have been a strong advocate that we raise the fed fund rates twice this year, and that gets us to on hundred to 125. my only judgment is that we are making progress on reaching full employment, gdp should grow an extra 2% this year. we are obviously not meeting our inflation target, but the bigger thing i would say is, we are a little bi

michael nutter is here and cnn political analyst and "usa today" columnist, kir sten powers is here. david french with the national review and also white house reporter from "the washington post" abby phillip. thank you for being here. abby, first to you. i want to get your reaction to the statement that lindsey graham put out that i read at the top of the hour, where he calls out the president pretty directly, where many republicans have not. what do you -- what's your take on it? >> it's not entirely surprising because as you noted, lindsey graham is not a stranger to criticizing the president. but it's telling because it sounds in some ways like he's signaling to the rest of his party this is the direction you need to go in, your statements need to be a little more strong. and i think republicans have to talk to each other here, have to signal to each other what's okay. i know that sounds kind of cynical but this is politics. sometimes people hesitate to stick their necks out, especially criticizing a president in their own party. i think lindsey graham is someone who has often been a strong, vocal person out there pushing back on trump but it's notable also because he's a senator from

michael: when you are talking about global central banking in the markets, you are talking about the wild card, which is inflation. itt is the problem, whether is the phillipsnd so for it. the problem in the models the fed have been using are predicated on traditional data. if you defined inflation by some restriction on quality source, whether labor or commodity, you have this rapid escalation of technology that says, if you need more labor, you can create an algorithm and in theory and and what we have seen with shale technology is it creates a bigger supply of oil. the fed is steering its ocean liner of models and navigating the waters carefully. it will have to reevaluate this whole 2% level and on a related note, let's say we get 2.5% to 3.5%. can the fed take that risk and quickly squash it because of bonds and mortgages westmark what yellen suggests -- mortgages? what yellen suggests is, yeah, we will take that risk. alix: unfair question, 10 year yield, 2.9%, what happens at 8:30? michael: probably it will not move much. yields have come down, so you could see it pop a little but we are a long way to get better than expected reading. we are long way

michael bell. tim, let's come to you on the question of wages. 2.1%. the estimate was for 2%. a little stronger than expected. in many senses, to be welcomed. people were asking whether the phillips was missing action. how do you greet this data? 0.1%i'm not sure completely vindicates or ruins, but it is a sign that there is ,ome pricing power for labor which is to be expected. that said, the economy may be having a moment where it starts to slow down somewhat, especially since there's such political uncertainty on brexit. anna: where do you stand, michael? where do you think this leaves the bank of england austin mark we've been showing the session chart. this is the euro-pound over a longer time horizon. a lot of people talking about whether we go to parity. is that something you are looking for? michael: it depends on the time horizon. the short-term models we look at, we've been shorting sterling against the dollar. it has come down closer to our fair value estimate. we're taking those positions off for now. if you look at the euro, we are thinking the euro should go a little higher. against the dollar, we think .here's a mid-1.20 gosh figure in the short-term, a lot of that

secretary sir michael fallon has personally apologised to the mother of a soldier killed in a lightly—armoured snatch land rover in iraq. the bbc has sent a letter to sue smith, whose son private phillipn a bombing in 2005. —— the -- the bbc —— the bbc has seen the letter sent to sue smith. clive coleman reports. sue smith's son, private philip hewett, was killed by an improvised explosive device while travelling in a lightly armoured snatch land rover in iraq, july 2005. sue hoped an inquest due to last five days would provide answers about the snatch, and how philip died, but it lasted just three hours. she found the inability to get answers from the ministry of defence maddening. sometimes i felt like theyjust wanted me to either go away or die. or be ill. you know, so i would give up. i couldn't give up. in 2013, sue and two other families of soldiers killed in snatch land rovers won a landmark ruling at the supreme court, enabling them to sue the mod because the human rights act was deemed to apply to soldiers on the battlefield. it was the publication here injuly last year of the report into the enquiry into the iraq war by sirjohn chilcot that changed everything. it gave a damn
