president trump. how do you get past that this whole thing doesn't look good for cohen? >> it is up for mr. cohen to explain. >> laura: he didn't want to go into it. >> this is great. when have i ever said it's up to the president to explain? that's his lawyer. he throws the ball to his clients? its crazy representation. have you ever heard of anything like this? you put out a tape of your client. you then may believe it says something it doesn't say. there were three other versions of this before he got to this one that were even worse. the transcript, if you have the patience to analyze it, and now he is saying give the ball to my client. >> laura: i don't mean to harp on the clinton connection here but it is interesting that cohen chooses the longtime confidant, booster, defender of the clintons. after everything that happened during the campaign, to represent him. you know how this deal goes. it was cohen trying to send some kind of message to the president? look out, here we come? you better watch out? it's an odd choice of lawyer in my view. it's an odd choice. >> i don't know. i can't comment on that, laura. i

mrs may‘s brexit strategy. meanwhile president trump, heading to the uk for a visit later this week, said britain was a country in turmoil. our political editor lauraening marvel of an raf fly—past. after two of her squad abandoned her, theresa may and her reshaped team are doing their best to carry on. business as usual. how do you think, though, the government can look credible to leaders arriving here, when it seems so chaotic and theresa may is having ministers abandoning her? well, we all know that this is a complex system, and feelings run very deep. but i think she is the only person who can hold all this together. this is very difficult moment in our history. ooh—la—la! ooh—la—la indeed — britain‘s travails don‘t go unnoticed. some are fighting for her to leave. others are working hard to get in the union. but look who then strolled into the discussion, just days before he is flying here. i have nato, i have the uk, which is in somewhat turmoil, and i have putin. frankly, putin may be the easiest of them all. who would think — who would think? that‘s right — president trump said it might be easier to deal with russia than the uk. and... bor

mr. companies to understand that they are going to be consequences for him, too. >> laura: threatening the president there. your reaction. >> i have a lot of criticisms of trump, parts from obama's speech that i actually thought were good in terms of criticizing global institutions, but that rhetoric that we just heard from the former cia director, who was also part of the cia under george bush as well, is incredibly not just unhinged, but remarkably dangerous. we are not actually at war with russia. this is the prerequisite for treason, he actually said that russia is our enemy, which is something that the president he served for eight years vehemently rejected even after all the allegations of hacking. if you look at all the nuclear weapons on the planet that can extinguish the human species, 90% of them reside in the hands of two countries, the u.s. and russia, and to create this climate where we compare russia, our enemy is remarkably reckless and dangerous, and it is shocking to hear. >> laura: isn't it the case that there are many on the right, the old neoconservatives, there are a lot who wan

laura. >>> thank you, evan. the president's press team is not coordinating with rudy giuliani concerning his comments on behalf of mr. trump's legal team. that was apparent monday when giuliani made a series of bizarre claims on cnn's "new day." including the fact he is not sure collusion with russia is even a crime. the criminal code does not include the word collusion, but it is understood as a broad term that could include who amore spc crimes like conspiracy. >>> giuliani said several aides met for a pre-meeting to discuss strategy at trump tower. >> lannie said there was a meeting two days before with donald junior and jared and gates and one other person. >> it is important to know, rick gates, the right-hand man to paul manafort, is cooperating with the robert mueller investigation. rudy giuliani later said the meeting never happened and insists his description came from questions by reporters. >>> the former head of the human resources of fema accused of trading sex for jobs. the preliminary investigation finds cory coleman experienced relationships with female s subordinates. his name does not actually appe

laura kuenssberg, bbc news, chequers. across the uk, tens of thousands of people took to the streets to protest against president trump's visit. in glasgow's george square, thousands of protestors gathered ahead of mrrrival in scotland. while in london, tens of thousands of people marched through the streets to trafalgar square. our special correspondent, lucy manning, has this report. all chant: say it loud, say it clear, donald trump is not welcome here! his name echoed around the streets of london. donald trump has got to go! it was on the posters they carried, the t—shirts they wore. they were loud and they were certainly many, but as tens of thousands came to protest against president trump, he wasn't even in the city to see or hear the anger. the relationship normally a special one, the "highest level of special," said the president, but they weren't lining the streets for the american president — but against him. i think his policies are awful, i think the way he talks to people, the way he talks about women, the way he talks about disabled people, policies on climate change... the list of things he does wrong... you are not going to stop trump, are you? i think peaceful protest is a beautif

laura: this is serious. it's serious stuff. >> while i support the president's attempt to really try to reset the russian relationship, unlike mrsn and president obama, and their failed attempts, i support the overall effort. but the core strength of the american president's power is his moral authority. what i would have liked to have seen their stronger public statement on behalf of the president to condemn this. we remember in 2009, laura, when the iranian reigning people rose up against the iranian regime, we pounded president obama for not at least speaking a word of moral support for them. i would have liked to have seen a president give some moral statement against what the russians have done, not just to ask him over to our allies. >> laura: that his why, ariel,>> we pounded obama when he said to medvedev, he held his hand, we pounded the that, the democrats, the media ignored him. what does flexibility mean? we never got an answer. >> laura, if you remember president reagan, he took the high moral ground. he talked about the shining city over the hill, and he also improved the relationship with the soviet union when the

president meeting with mr. putin. >> mr. strzok, you are before this committee for one reason to serve as a monumental distraction. they need to identify a villain. mr. strzok, tag, you're it. >> laura: no, you're it. all these games, hijinks, games, circus. stay with me here. the hearing went from circus lights to a side show. >> i talked to agents around the country. you've embarrassed them and yourself and i can't help but wonder when i see you looking there with a smirk how many times did you look so innocent into your wife's eyes and lie to her about -- >> mr. chairman, it's o outrageous! >> mr. chairman! >> laura: well, i understand the passions are running high but what did that accomplish, exactly? at some point, the hiyperbole cancel each other out. and anyone watching probably thought is this what it has come to? at times it seemed they were more like contestants in both parties and competing for the sound bite of the day. >> i never pre-judged anything not in this case or any others. >> impeachment for what? >> you mentioned the word impeachment. that was used in my context of not knowing what this would lead to. >> if there are two people that are thrilled and excited to

laura podesta has reaction from both sides of the aisle. >>> reporter: less than a hapassed since president trump ekand russian president vladimir putin sat down for tainlks lshein, kifinland. now mr. trump wants another summit, this time on home turf. >> the white house has announced on twitter that vladimir putin is coming to the white house in the fall. >> okay. >> yeah! >> ha ha! [ pause ] >> that's going to be special. >> reporter: director of national intelligence dan coats appeared caught off guard about the potential summit in september when asked at the aspen security forum yesterday. coats did say he wants to get to the bottom of this cyber threat that the russians pose to our democracy. >> between now and the election, we just need to do -- assure the american people we're doing absolutely everything we can to make this a clean election. >> reporter: what lawmakers hope for in a future summit is more transparency about what will be ght now, it's still unc mr. exactly scmr. ustrump sean putin agreed to behind closed doors. >> we shouldn't be just guessing based on the statements of the russian ambassador or based on things we hear reported in the media as valuable as tha

mr trump's rival, hillary clinton. the president has always denied that he knew anything about the meeting, until a year later. cnn and nbc are reporting mr cohen is willing to testify to the contrary. cbs correspondent lauraws has learned that michael collins is now saying that in the months before the election candidate tromp approved of that meeting at trump tower. he did not attend that meeting but it was attended by his son. to remind you cohen's allegation comes just days after one mac's lawyer released a tape recording of the president discussing the release of a he said that it is back was up against the wall he will live like crazy because he has lied all his life. cohen himself is under investigation but he is not yet been charged with any crimes. north korea has started to hand over the remains of american soldiers killed during the korean war in the 1950s. the repatriation of the fallen soldiers was agreed at last month's singapore summit between president trump and kim jong—un. our seoul correspondent laura bicker witnessed the ceremony at osan airbase in south korea. after nearly 70 years, the fallen soldiers are welcomed home with an honour guard. one by one the small caskets wrapped in the
