did mr trump, you heard mr priebus there speaking about a reset of of the administration, did mr trumpng that is coherent. we are talking about something day after day where trump decides someone has to go or be scapegoated. remember a few days earlier, it was the attorney generaljeff sessions, who was being humiliated by trump because trump blames him for not controlling the trump—russia investigation. next week it could be somewhere else within the administration. right now trump is denouncing republicans in congress who turned against the health care bill. the fact is that trump, who tried to run this like business, cannot understand politics where you don‘t get what you want and instead of trying to compromise or reset, he simply goes on twitter and launches his latest rant. well, it was interesting, wasn‘t it? that he‘d announced, he had made this announcement via twitter. do you think the mr trump has all his players in place, the budget is coming up in front of congress, will he be happy with his players and where they are? no, because these players are not all on the same team.

it is a dangerous position for mr trump? priebushen it came to his appointment, you always got the feeling that donald trump had had him put upon him by the party. they said to him that he needs political operatives who can liaise between the republican party, congress and you so you know how to run this kind of white house with regards to being influenced by the party. sean spicer was one of those two. priebus, he is now out, replaced by general kelly. you get the feeling that donald trump is adrift in party politics, and maybe that's how he wants it. he's been tweeting about senate rules. if nothing gets done in congress, despite the fact that republicans control the senate, the white house, he will be able to say, hang on, it was not my fault. it makes him look both separate from the party and separate from politics, and that's what his base really likes. laura bicker, thank you very much. the headlines on bbc news. angry clashes in east london during a protest over the death of a man who was restrained by police last week. north

there was an indication that reince priebus was going to step down from anthony scaramucci, and it has come across as if mr no, i have been hearing that reince priebus went before anthony scaramucci even got there. this is a long time coming, the culmination of several things which i believe was related to the timing of the obama ca re related to the timing of the obama care failure. have been working hard between the administration and leadership of the house and senate to get the obama care repeal done. hejust to get the obama care repeal done. he just wasn't getting it done. trump asa he just wasn't getting it done. trump as a result skype, not a political guy, he is a businessman of the corporate manager. reince priebus was not getting the managementjob done that he wanted done. what you think has gone wrong, but mrtrump done. what you think has gone wrong, but mr trump has had to hit the reset button? it has only been six months. what has gone wrong?” months. what has gone wrong? i don't know that anything has gone wrong, but a lot of those positions are filled. reince priebus did a great job in the c

mr priebus said he still supported the trump administration.n with generaljohn kelly and i think he will do a greatjob. i am looking forward to the future. i will always bea forward to the future. i will always be a donald trump fan. i am part of his team. i look forward to helping him achieve his goals and his agenda for the american people. we will talk about that later on in the programme. violence has broken out in east london during protests about the death of a man, rashan charles, who was apprehended by police a week ago. fireworks and bottles were thrown at officers in the dalston area of hackney overnight. the independent police complaints commission is investigating the circumstances surrounding the 20—year—old's death. 11 —month—old charlie gard has died after his life—support was switched off at after his life—support was switched offata after his life—support was switched off at a hospice. his condition grabbed the attention of many around the world, including pope francis. nearly a quarter of shops are breaking the law, by selling

the resignation of mr priebus came after he was criticised by the president's new communications directorramucci, who accused him of leaking to the press. here's our north america correspondent peter bowes. another tweet, another resignation, another day in the trump presidency. reince priebus is the latest senior figure in the white house to leave his job prematurely. the shortest serving chief—of—staff in history. he is being replaced by a retired four—star general. john kelly is currently in charge of the department of homeland security. donald trump revealed that reince priebus had been replaced at the end of a tumultuous week in washington. earlier, the two men travelled together to an event in long island, where mr trump lavished praise onjohn kelly. one of our real stars. truly one of our stars. the president was heading back to the white house that he tweeted news of general kelly's newjob. he spoke briefly to reporters. reince is a good man. john kelly will do a fantasticjob. general kelly has been a star. done an incredible job thus far. respected by everybody. a great, great am

you heard mr priebus talking about a reset of the administration. did he need that?about a systematic reset or anything is coherent, it's just something where trump scapegoats people. it wasjeff sessions, who was being humiliated by trump because trump blames him for not controlling the trump— russian investigation. right now, trump is denouncing republicans in congress who turned against the health care bill. trump, who has a lwa ys health care bill. trump, who has always tried to run this like a business, cannot understand politics where you do not get what you want. so instead of compromising, hejust goes on twitter and delivers his latest rant. do you think he has all his players in place? will he be happy with his budget, his players and who they are? no, because the players aren't all on the same team and do not know what positions they playing. there are pragmatists, priebus, mike pence, and the fire breather, hard right liners like steve bannon. health care, education, the economy and policy, but instead, egos to anthony scaramouche chief. —— anthony scaramuc

mr. priebus, certainly, part of the republican party establishment, former chairman of the party. so what could this change mean, not only for the operation of the white house, john, but for the president's policy agenda? >> well, if general kelly can bring a greater amount of focus and discipline to the white house, and to the president, for that matter, it is possible that they could have a better experience with tax reform, which is the next big reform than they have had with health care reform. obviously a lot of the problems on health care were inherent to that issue, and i think a lot of the responsibility lies with the congress, and not with president trump. but, general kelly is not experienced in politics. and one of the advantages of having reince priebus there was, in fact, you're trying to get an agenda through with republicans on capitol hill. and, general kelly does not have any track record of doing that. >> all right, john harwood. thanks very much. working late on the weekend night. john harwood in washington >>> well, while the drama in washington continues, wall

mr. priebus to actually do his job. the chief of staff job in my view is the toughest job in the executive branch because you have to manage both down and up. you've got to keep the staff in line and enthused and working hard every day, but you also have to manage up, manage the executive. donald trump will not allow himself to be managed because the only thing that matters to him is donald trump. >> so then, andre, do you see the president empowering, to use michael's word, ep empowering general kelly as a chief of staff? you've been hearing all kinds of descriptions of what's going on right now is like, you know, the "game of thrones" or even "the new york post," you know, made a reference right there to, you know, survivor in the white house. >> well, again, look, i tried to go back and count. i was lieutenant governor for eight years. i was elected by the people and i decided that i thought i was in charge because the people elected me pip went through six chief of staffs pause i wanted to make sure the results i wa

priebus is part of that. he was an establishment figure, you would got the feeling that he did not quite have confidence in mrshown that he has good management skills as pa rt he has good management skills as part of the department of homeland security. so can he go and do what mr reince priebus did not? that is the question that many people this morning asking themselves because we have had a six—month period of turmoil within the white house, the president has not had that legislative victory, he looks certain to be frustrated at these increasing investigations as to whether russia meddled in the us presidential election nation and now he's getting criticism within his own party. it is time to stay things ina new own party. it is time to stay things in a new direction. is general kelly the man to do it? does mr trump risk isolating himself to the point of lessening his position of power orders actually making stronger by distancing himself from the establishment, like you said? it is an interesting question because reince priebus was one of the few assumption figures left in the few assumption figures left

mr. priebus wasn't as effective as he could have been is because mr.mp wouldn't listen to him and wouldn't let him establish a normal decision making process. if this katrina, is coming from "the wall street journal," does it make you agree more a bit? >> no, not at all. we'll take opinions all day long. at the end of the day, we're talking about donald trump. someone who has been very successful on the outside. he's going to be successful on the inside. his management style has been the same from the very beginning and for those who don't understand that, i highly suggest reading "the art of the deal." he has a personality, a strong personality, and a strong character. none of us have a problem with his management style. particularly those that have been around for a very long time. if you support the president and his agenda, there are no problems with regards to personnel. >> but, katrina, does a business management style translate well into washington? i mean, the first six months would suggest no. >> well, i do. i do believe that. however, when ev

mr priebus, whose tenure was the shortest of any white house chief of staff in modern us history, hasormer general, who president trump praised for his work as head of homeland security. general kelly has been a star. done an incredible job thus far, respected by everybody. a great, great american. reince priebus, a good man. thank you very much. 0ur washington correspondent laura bicker gave us reaction to the latest departure. well, the republican party has been praising reince priebus, who is, in effect, one of their own. that could be part of the reason why donald trump never seemed to have confidence in him. remember, he was appointed chief of staff because he was part of the republican party. he was an insider. he also knew how those levers in washington should work. but as the six months wore on, donald trump has reportedly described him as weak and also said he questioned his loyalty. and now he has turned to someone outside of the political sphere. he is looking to someone outside of the swamp, as he called it. and that is generaljohn kelly. he is an marine general, a—star ge

that's not on it according to politico of ongoing trump job and cushion and malani of trump all want mr priebus out as white house chief of staff is that what you're hearing. well i read the politico piece i mean you know that there's so many leaks coming from the white house we don't know where these leaks are coming from you know if you listen to some people they say they're coming from deep state people you listen to some people they're coming from disgruntled from people regardless of where the leaks are coming from i think everyone getting caught in this endless drama i think is is the bigger problem right now we we need to be able to basically trust that the media is doing a good enough job so we can figure out what's real you know is russia this russia thing real is any of the policies what the health care policy any of these things is tax policy getting rid of regulations are any of these things real and the problem is that the hysteria has now been ramped up to a place that is almost untouchable and how do you ramp down some of that so whether they want to get rid of priebus or not i a

mr. priebus. good afternoon. i am the acting director of the u.s. immigration and customs enforcement known as ice. career law enforcement officer i want to begin by saying, thank you. the job we have chosen, that we do is tough and i am honored to serve alongside so many american patriots in this room today. to my fellow ice officers and agents in this room, thank you for the privilege of serving alongside you. i want to especially recognize the soulful county pd, the nassau county 80, the nypd for their ongoing partnership in operation matador. which is dedicated to combating ms 13 in new york city and long island. and has so far resulted in more than 100 arrests. ageson long island, ice collaborate with nassau and suffolk county to work at getting cases, share intelligence and develop cases for prosecution. we are here today to send a clear message to ms 13. and all other criminal gangs. you are not welcome here. and you will not find safe harbor. made it atrump has priority to get these criminals off of the street. if they are in the u.s. illega

but mr priebus‘ replacement, generaljohn kelly, demanded mr scaramucci's removal in turn.r scaramucci's attack last week may have made that an easier sale. the president certainly felt that anthony's comments were inappropriate for a person in that position. and he didn't want to burden general kelly also with that line of succession. mr scaramucci was actually the second communications director, following mike dubcic, who resigned in june. the current national security adviser, hr mcmaster, is also the second. the first, mike flynn, resigned after misleading the vice president on issues around the russian influence scandal. irritation with the investigation into that scandal eventually led to president trump firing the fbi director, james comey. we also know the president may about be about to fire his attorney—general, jeff sessions, because mr sessions recuesed himself from that investigation. maybe general kelly will make the white house work. but they've had a humiliation on health care in congress, that russian links investigation is rumbling on, and it's still not a

this was hours before reince priebus was fired. the clash between mr. scaramucci and mr. offers a case study in how the trump white house operates, a conflict divorced from facts, untethered from the basics of how government works, enabled by the lack of any organizational structure, and driven by ambition, fear, animosity and envy. you may disagree with some of the tone of that, but there is a consensus that the president does like a little bit of chaos around him. how does john kelly limit that chaos and how does the president essentially limit himself from wanting that chaos? >> i think general kelly is going to restore order to the staff. his title is chief of staff, not chief of the president. and what you have seen over the last 30 years is an unbelievably successful individual and everything that he has achieved. the ideas that he's brought to the presidency have been something he's talked about for a long time. what we need now from a chief of staff is ensuring that everybody who works on the white house is on the president's agenda. what i would guess moving forw

mr. trump's new communications director called priebus an expletive paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoic. >> some brothers are like cain and abel. if reince wants to explain he's not a leaker, let him do that. >> i'm not going to get into the mud on those sorts of things. >> but it's unclear whether kelly will be given the authority to rein in chaos, which emanates from the president himself. this week the president repeatedly attacked his own attorney general. >> i am disappointed in the attorney general. he should not have recused himself. >> if jeff sessions is fired, there will be holy hell to pay. >> priebus' ouster came just hours after the colossal failure of the republicans' best hope for a policy success, and priebus was playing point for the white house. senator john mccain joined senators susan collins and lisa murkowski to defeat an already watered-down bill that didn't repeal the law, it was only going to repeal the mandate. dealing a blow to senate republicans' hopes of passing something, anything. >> this is a disappointment. >> and denying the president a critical legislativ

mr scaramucci has indirectly accused his colleague, the white house chief of staff reince priebus, ofer the tense relationship between the two was repairable. we have had differences. when i said we were brothers from the podium, that is because we are rough on each other. some brothers are like cain and abel. other brothers can fight with each other and get along. i don't know whether this is repairable or not, that will be up to the president. in an extraordinary phone call with a reporter from the new yorker, mr scaramucci described mr priebus as a paranoid schizophrenic. he also talked personally about mr trump's chief strategist, steve bannon. on twitter he said he would refrain from using "colourful language", but would not give up the passionate fight for donald trump's agenda. mr scaramucci has been in the west wing just one week, and appears to have spent more time launching personal attacks than pushing the president's policies. he may also be forcing the chief of staff, and a key republican establishment figure, out the door. when the communications director becomes the sto

mr. priebus, it's him. o you think the disconnect between the wall street journal and your listeners as you seem to think that mr. trump is doing a good job. >> he is doing a good job but we are not giving him free rein either. all in all, i think that people believe that trump is doing a great job and on the way down here from harrisburg, pennsylvania, i passed a huge barn with a trump sign on that the gentleman who put is there is still as happy today as the day he put it up. >> if you're putting a sign and leaving it there, that says something. you said something about jeff sessions, the president shoots himself in the foot sometimes. >> feeling of wackiness in the white house. >> do they care about that, does it matter? >> if he's getting the job done, no, so far they believe he is getting the job done. >> what do you view as the benchmark? in washington, we just love every tweet, we love every vote, it is a constant necessity, if you will and it's breathless, when does the heartland, when do your listen

mr. priebus, it's him." now, in the past conservative intellectuals like yourself denouncing trump have not made much difference. will this -- is this -- are we seeing something new? >> we are seeing something new because the "wall street journal" does speak with and for paul ryan. the challenge for the republican party as an institution is while president trump is a severe problem so also is the editorial page of the "wall street journal." with a republican president elected in 2016 needed to do was to lead the party out of the cul-de-sac into which it had backed itself on health care. the republican party had taken an unsustainably radical position on total repeal of obamacare, return to a prior status quo, that would not make good on the guarantee of near-universal coverage that's been in place now for almost seven years. they needed -- and as we saw in the vote, republican senators and republican members of the house themselves did not believe in that commitment, but they backed into it. where leadership

mr. priebus. >> dana: i think there's a distinction between what jeff sessions is looking into and what anthony scaramucci is talking about. the criminal leaks, when you're talking about these national security issues, you might be able to track those down and do something with those. the leaks about intrigue within the white house and gossip. those kind of leaks? that's not something that jeff sessions should even bother looking into. >> lisa:a: the national security leaks are the most concerning here. not only do they undermine the administration but our national security as well. we saw this play out as the u.k. temporarily pausedri intelligene sharing over the manchester bombing incident and the release of that information. secretary kelly said in april we are facing terrorist threats as high as 9/11. we are facing such great threats, why would we want to undermine intelligence sharing with our allies that potentially could keep america safe? the attorney general absolutely should be going after this and trying to find leakers and punish them as well. >> juan: maybe you should visit with do

mr. priebus, it is him. so, does kelly get more authority in this white house than priebus did? >> we'll find out. the president tweeted there is no white house chaos. the president respects two kinds of people. people that make a lot of money and he respects generals. to the extent that general kelly, the department of homeland security secretary can command trump's respect in a way priebus never could and the president thinks political people are dopes, journalists, political people, washington, we're all idiots and speaks to americans in that way. the extent that this new chief of staff can command trump's respect, it's possible he could bring order and discipline to the place. however, i don't think the problem with reince priebus, whatever people think of him, was ever that he could not run a staff. i think the problem was that the president didn't want to listen to him. and i don't know that anybody can contain the president. his director that tweets all hours, about all things. and these people that reportedly report to the president. >> that was asked yesterday on the su

mr. priebus. do you think that white house chief of staff kelly, general kelly, whatever you want to call him, will be able to go into the president's office, oval office and say, mr. president, please stop tweeting? or if you're going to tweet, let's have a discussion before you do it. it is an official message and it is undermining what we are trying to do. >> i've known the president for quite a while now, several years. he responds very, very well to flag officers. it's a group of people that he's very respectful of. i think if he and general kelly sat down, he certainly had a conversation like mike said, and i trust that the president is going to stand by whatever commitments he made to the general. this white house could use a marine officer in charge. we all agree about this. i think we're going to see some good things. >> the huge question here, though, is if kelly got that commitment -- i agree, military guys intimidate the president a little bit. the only beach he landed on was at studio

mr. priebus for not returning fire. given the choice between the two men, president trump chose scaramucci. tonight, reince wants everyone to know, there are no hard feelings. >> this is not like a situation where there's a bunch of ill will feelings. i think it is smart to pick general kelly. i'm always going to be a donald trump fan. he has the best political instincts. he knows, i think, intuitively, when things need to change. i've seen it now for a year and a half on this wild wrid the president that i love being a part of. but he intuitively determined that it was time to do something differently. and i think he's right. >> joining me now, the washington correspondent for new york magazine, and the staff writer at the atlantic. you wrote earlier that basically, everyone inside and outside the white house had come the dislike reince priebus. why is that? >> i wouldn't say everyone. there are people within the white house who have not liked him. who disliked him for a long time. who disliked the national committee f
