he was acting at the direction of higher ups in the white house and i think that's clearly means mr trump maybe through mr questioner otherwise remember mr questioner is thirty six years old a complete amateur he wouldn't do anything serious unless he got approval from the present in the united states mr trump his father in law and mr and mr flynn was trying to exhort the russians to display some kind of. would say amicability in declining to retaliate against mr obama's expulsion of several russian probably spies and shutting down some of their campuses here to show that trump had some particular relationship to mr putin that was helpful to the united states and showed that he really wasn't in a foreign policy amateur he knew the art of the deal so he had raised the issue with well you know you really can you hold off on an retaliating against what obama has done to some of your diplomats and then he also was lobbying for the soviet the russians here at the security council to veto a resolution that would been introduced by the egyptians that was hostile to israel because the obama admin

the two angles i think that putin had probably the most important one was to see if he could get mr trump in the white house as opposed to hillary clinton because trump would be viewed as far more open to russian initiatives and their concerns with regard to nato expansion and otherwise joe and insisting on twitter that the twitter because one follows the original it's just it just hold that thought for a second for us please thomas pickering it's going to put this point to joel rubin the twitter boats today have gone very quiet on top of which people are speculating well maybe the tweets about the the trumpet ministration has been cut loose by moscow do you think and we are going into the air of speculation here do you think trump himself the man today right now has been utterly blind signed it wireless. well the twitter bots i'm glad that you mention it the twitter bots would always seem to surge whenever trump had a dip in the polls and i think that as the the the analytics are investigated by the moeller team about the timing of the twitter bots and their invasion into our elections a

mr. trump originally backed mr. moore's opponent and now he has swung around to vote for the more eventually go conservative -- evangelical conservative person. it also gives the democrats a much stronger chance of retaking the united states senate by saying that the republicans willing to seat some roy moore gives them a lot to run on next year. katty: ron christie, thank you. the results will come in in a few hours time, and republicans in washington will be watching very closely. the prospect of roy moore, who says he is antiestablishment, openly feuding with senior members of the republican party -- the prospect of him arriving in congress and capitol hill and having to work alongside republicans frankly terrifies a

in opposition and so i'm not to be compared with what i believe and what the strength is of both mr trump but also missed the putin is that they all believe that the interest of down own country goes first mr putin goes for russia first for the first interest of the russian people a missile trim in his own way does that for the united states of america and i wish i wish in your rope in my own country the netherlands we had a leader we had a prime minister who are like mr trump or mr putin would say hollande first of all your room not the european union but europe first and we don't have that i want to talk a bit about relation to the united states chancellor merkel thinks that e.u. has to rely on itself from now on as the partnership between the united states and europe is cracking under president trump do you see a reliable partner in the current administration. no you know i don't think that's that bad and i even believe that european politicians use it they misuse it they misuse and they call for a so-called worse relationship ship with the united states of america they complain about

mr. trump during our first introduction. mr. trump repeatedly kissed my cheeks and ultimately my lips in an encounter that has since impacted my life well beyond the initial occurrence and feelings of self-doubt and insignificance i had. unfortunately given mr. trump's notoriety and the fact that he was a partner of my employers, not to mention the owner of the building, i felt there was nothing i could do. given this hostile work environment, my only solution at the time was to simply avoid additional encounters with him. i do realize that in the grand scheme of things, there are far worse cases of sexual harassment, misconduct and assault, but make no mistake, there is no acceptable level of such behavior. that some men think they can use their power, position, or notoriety to demean and attack women speaks to their character, not ours. which, believe me, is a tough lesson learned. in my case, i only felt the redemption of knowing it was not my own flaws to blame when i read the account of te

mr. trump during my first interaction. mr. trump kissed my cheek and ultimately my lips in an encounter that impacted my life well beyond the feelings of self doubt. fortunately, given his notoriety and the fact that he was a partner of my employers, not to mention the owner of the building, i felt there was nothing i could do. given this hostile work environment, my only option was to avoid additional encounters with him. i do realize that in the grand scheme of things, there are far worse cases of sexual harassment and assault, but make no mistake, there is no acceptable lever of behavior. that people can use their variety to attack women speak to their character, not ours. which believe me, is a tough lesson learned. in my case, i knew it was not my fault to blame, when i heard the attack of temple taggart. i had somehow projected an image that made me an easy target. instead, this was serial misconduct and perversion on the part of mr. trump. unfortunately, this behavior is not rare in our

jessica leeds, who was at the news conference, says she was assaulted by mr trump decades ago, while ing next to him on a flight. the next thing i know, trump is over me like a wet blanket. and he is kissing, and he's fondling and everything, and the next thing i realised was that he was putting his hand up my skirt. i grabbed my purse and went to the back of the aeroplane. it was after the release of this tape, where mr trump can be heard bragging about groping women, that more than a dozen accusers came forward with allegations of sexual misconduct. all i can say is it's totally fake news. it's just fake, it's fake, it's made—up stuff. and it's disgraceful, what happens, but that happens in the world of politics, john. but the women say they are telling the truth. apprentice contestant summer zervos claims mr trump forcibly attempted to kiss her. zervos wants to sue him for defamation. if thejudge in new if the judge in new york decides the case should go ahead, her lawyer could call the president to testify. no man is above the law, including the president of the united states. in

mr. trump's accusers are demanding accountability for the president's actions. i have been speaking to one of the women. these three women are accusing the most powerful man in the world of the sexual misconduct. they first spoke out last year, but in the wake of the harvey weinstein scandal, they are now calling on congress to investigate president trump. >> in an objective setting without question, a person with this record would have entered the graveyard of political aspirations never to return. yet here we are with that man as president. rajini: jessica leeds, who was at today's news conference, says she was assaulted by mr. trump decades ago while she was sitting next to him on a flight. >> the next thing i know, trump is over me like a wet blanket. he is kissing and fondling and everything. the next thing i realized was he was putting his hand up my skirt. i grabbed my purse and went to the back of the airplane. mr. trump: when you are a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. raj

this is a big departure by mr trump.c state department correspondent on why this is such a big shift in policy. the americans have followed the international community on this, because its controversial for two reasons, one because both israelis and palestinians claim it, israelis say they want eastjerusalem as their capital, so that is something that should be decided in final status negotiations. this is a place that also is claimed wholly to three religions, christianity, judaism and islam. there is a un resolution that says the status ofjerusalem should be separate or decided ultimately in a way that satisfies all of those religions, so it does not actually recognise israeli sovereignty over any part ofjerusalem. it's a very contentious issue. the position of the us has been told now that status should be decided in final negotiations on a peace deal between israel and the palestinians. if mr trump announces he will move the embassy, either right away or at some point definitively, or if he says they will recognise j

you could see also when mr trump made his announcement, mr pence was right there.those we re there. he was beaming away. those were some of the constituencies that mrtrump paid were some of the constituencies that mr trump paid attention to when he decided to take this decision against the advice of national—security officials who felt there would be a violent backlash. this is a decision he made based on domestic political considerations. let's talk about the united nations. the security council will discuss this tomorrow. i saw president erdogan and president putin discussing earlier about how unhappy they were about it. i don't understand what it will add up to when the security council comes together. it will add up to a statement, many statements, repeating the view of the security council onjerusalem. repeating the view of the security council on jerusalem. that is something that has been for a long time, since my 248, the un has had jerusalem and given it a special status. since the peace process started, it said its final stages should only be resolved thro

mr. trump addressed that matter and said no, i'm not going to fire mr. mueller. you satisfied about this that there is not going to be any impediment to the investigation? >> donald trump has never said that he is not going to do something and then gone ahead and done it. no, i'm still quite concerned that this investigation gets further that at a certain point president trump is going to have his propaganda arm build the argument to fire mueller and then say he has to good ahead and do it because he has seen all this evidence build up. the reality is this has to be the red line for house republicans. they didn't do anything when trump fired comey. they didn't do anything when he endorsed roy moore. is there a line that they won't let him cross. >> are you satisfied mr. trump is committed to not firing mueller? >> i'm exhausted about having to talk about this so many months because there has been so many bad information out there from so many people implying the president is going to fire mueller, and he hasn't. >> in fairness, isn't the question a fair one after

mean we heard again quite uncompromising stands by mr netanyahu also echoing the words that also mr trump used last week and that is an absolute nonstarter for the palestinians they're saying where's our reality we are also here in the city of jerusalem and we want to see east jerusalem as the capital of our future independent palestinian state so we heard those two men talking again about the recognition of the capital of state of israel by mr trump and mr mccraw was very clear when he said that france is opposing this recognition and he also urged mr netanyahu to basically make some gestures towards to. put some force on settlement freeze so he made it very clear that france is very much opposed to this so all eyes were on this meeting because this was also the first foreign trip by mr netanyahu after the recognition pledged by mr trump. and it's netanyahu his first trip to europe since trump's controversial decision now what do you think his mission on this trip is. well i mean you have to know this to pose a originally planned long before this diplomatic crisis over the twosome issue

mr trump took this decision largely because he said he would.er people think of him as president, he gets reviled on so many of him as president, he gets reviled on so many levels, but actually he said he would do it and promised his supporters in the united states he would. he said the same on his taxation reforms. he is so... pre—election there was talk of him not following through on these crazy ideas. that was the received wisdom. that isn't what happened, is gone for his campaign promises and is very keen to keep his constituency happy. that is ignoring what his allies and diplomacy and all normal forms a baby you expect from the us president. state department and so one as well. you mentioned the business of tax cuts. that seems to have gone down very well again with business generally. is that an important marker for the future do you think? from america?|j important marker for the future do you think? from america? i certainly think that is trump's focus, it's about being able to do business, sometimes i think it's about his businesses b
