it was planning to discuss environmental issues with the brazilian president we know that mr bolton r.-o. is threatening to pull brazil out of the paris climate accord also no road spokesman later said the president had other reasons for cancelling the meeting that had nothing to do with the haircut maybe he needed to meet we ask with his hairstyle. don't forget you can always get your news on the go just. from google play or from the app store that will give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news you can also use an app to send us photos and videos when you see news happening. up next conflict zone i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news followed by the day and see that. enter the conflicts of. lies and populism. rising in venezuela hong kong protests for exit blockage the world is in crisis mode just this week we've lost track of the key interviews of the season the point is to people want change they implied in the middle of january no discernible and you. look so. as long as. i mentioned you know

mr. bolton. >> of course the difference is those were freezes before north korea got nuclear weapons. now the estimate is 20 to 60. before you go, just briefly, you spent a lot of time in north korea. would north korea view this policy a freeze as a win? >> absolutely. because north korea's last nuclear test in 2017 triggered a 6.3 magnitude earthquake and moved a mountain at their nuclear test site. this, if it does turn into a proposal, the ballistic missiles that deliver them. north korea keeps its deterrent and the world becomes more comfortable with them as a de facto nuclear state. it's exactly what kim jong-un has always wanted. >> something the successive administrations from both parties said they would never allow. will ripley, david sanger, thanks very much to both of you. >>> south bend, indiana, pete buttigieg can now put a lot more money where his mouth is after announcing he has raised $24.8 million in the second quarter. it is a massive hold for a candidate no one had heard of at the start of the year. senior washington coordinator jeff zeleny, i wonder with a money ha

mr. bolton is wrapping up a trip to south korea, which your audience might not be aware of, just five days the u.s. and south korea agreed to return to some military exercises. while these were short-range missiles, they can range south korea and threaten u.s. and south korean interests. look, what kim is also doing is because he's a despotic ruler, he needs to show his own internal populace and regime that he's flexing his muscles and doing something. >> neil: and that you think is his way of saying let's get back to the table and do something? you could just as easily argue would be less inclined to do it if he's doing this to be provocative. you argue in this case he's not. this is one of the things he could be doing. the fact that this is the third time since the last summit we've seen something like this makes you wonder what's going on. >> again, i think this is for internal consumption. clearly, as others have spoken about, north korea doesn't do anything without china's okay. this doesn't push the united states to take any sort of dramatic action. it's just a bit of posturing inter

and actually we're hearing that the united states the united states' national security advisor mr john bolton is going to visit japan and south korea during. the coming days and he's going. presumably he's going to talk to mr and is going to try to convince him to join so that in his forces could join the u.s. in that ordering. oil transporting lines through her most state so this is how this is how the u.s. is going to benefit from this victory they're going to enhance their military cooperation with. the promise that is going to benefit from this victory to push forward with. this alliance between the 2 countries 30 salami in tokyo thank you very much for that a suicide bomber has killed at least 6 people at a hospital in northwest pakistan the attack happened in the city of dera ismail khan soon after gunmen opened fire on a police checkpoint killing 2 offices their bodies were being brought to the hospital when a suicide bomber struck the bass damaged emergency ward and wounded more than 20 people the pakistani taliban have claimed responsibility sunday's attacks followed the 1st 7 electi

this is not about bolton or mr. flights or whoever we've had an irattic, impulsive and unwise series of choices on national security. i love kim jong-un there's no hurry about him producing -- continuing to produce material this aggressive stance with iran you put them in a box and don't let them have a path out i think we got a very troubling pattern of national security decision making. >> gentleman, i can't thank you both enough. i'm going it ask you both come on in the days ahead if i can put into graphic form the department of defense and we can talk about all of them and the way they leave us open in various ways jeremy bash and barry mccaffrey, our thanks on a friday night and coming up to our south our attention goes the storm that is not yet a hurricane, that is bringing more water to some places than katrina did. a long weekend is ahead for our friends in new orleans and the rest of the great state of louisiana. we'll get a late report in just a moment first, brea? you can go first. audible reintroduced th

this is not about bolton or mr. erratic, impulsive series of choices on national security i love kim jong-un there is no hurry about him producing continuing to produce his material this aggressive stance with iran, you put him in a box and don't let him have a pass out, i think we got a very troubling pattern of national security decision-making. >> gentlemen, i can't think you both enough. come on in the days ahead if i can put in graphic form the vacancies and department of defense and we can talk about all of them and the way they leave us open in various ways. jeremy mcelderry after mccaffrey. >>> the storm that is not yet a hurricane, that is bringing more water to some places than katrina did along weekend is ahead for our friends in new orleans and the rest of the great state of louisiana we'll get a late report in just a moment how do you gauge the greatness of an suv? is it to carry cargo or to carry on a legacy? its show of strength or its sign of intelligence? in crossing harsh terrain or breaking new gr

stand firm against the united states and the british have foolishly fall into a trap that bolton has one day for them mr marandi what is the way out of this trap now that the bush and iranians have seized each other's oil tankers what does iran want the u.k. to do what is iran willing to do to escalate tensions here with iran release the stolen pair of bush and release grace one. yes i think that would probably be the solution the iranians. believe that if they do not take preventive measures that the united states will begin to confiscate all of its 7 tankers as well as its other ships. the united states is targeting ordinary people at the moment the united states is also bullying the europeans into completely violating the nuclear agreement it's impossible even to import medicine using the banking sector and those people have died as a result so the iranians recognize how brutal and barbaric the americans can be and therefore if the iranians do not take preventive measures and to show the british that they will have to pay a price for obeying trump or obeying bolton then this would continue you if you

adviser, john bolton tried to bring him on to the national security council for about five minutes the freakout in national security circles was palpable. and it gave rise to lured stories about mr. fleitz but now, it was one thing had to put guy in a staff job working for john bolton, even if it was a staff job on the national security council,s which is an important thing. that caused enough of a freak out, but if the reports are correct that trump is going to now try to put him in the senate-confirmable position of director of national intelligence that's going to be -- hilarious is not the right word, but this is going to be something if they try to do this i mean, this is a guy who if they try to make him dni and fire dan coates, he would have to be brought into the trump cabinet to be director of national intelligence from the job he has now the job he has now is he works as the senior vice president for policy and programs at a think tank that think tank that he runs is the leading proponent of the crack pot theory that the u.s. government is secretly being run by the muslim brotherhood which infiltrated the highest ranks of american government. and we just don't know it.

bolton that he saved us from. now we've been saved from the 25% tariff that mr.oing to put on mexico, which would have increased the price of every car coming into the united states by $9,000. it was never going to happen, but it was just setting up an untruthful statement that, oh, mexico already made concessions to us, so we'll withdraw that 25%. it's all -- it's stage management. it's not real government. >> as a long-standing republican official, republican governor, it's very interesting hearing you stand out from some of the colleagues that you've held in high esteem for a long time and standing up to this president and seeing you on the race and we'll keep an eye on it. >> great, ari. >> thanks for coming by. governor bill weld. coming up an exclusive with an a.o.c. stand out when we come back. c. stand out when we come back you make time... when you can. but sometimes life gets in the way, and that stubborn fat just won't go away. coolsculpting takes you further. a non-surgical treatment that targets, freezes, and eliminates treated fat cells, for good. d

bolton has a viewssibility to get his to the president. secretary of energy, other secretaries have their views. we have lively debates. i disagree with them often and agree with them sometimes. mr rubenstein: we have a dozen ambassadors here. what would you give them as insight as the best way to influence the president on foreign policy matters? sec. pompeo: deliver value. it's not about does he like mike or alice. up withut, did you show an informed, fact-based theory that can deliver the outcomes that are the commander's intent? if we do that, if we show up with the best answers, we will drive policy. if we don't, we will be banging our gums. mr. rubenstein: there are reports today that the new head intelligence will be john ratcliffe. some people say he's too political for that position. you have served in cia. do you believe he's too political? sec. pompeo: his first term was my final term in congress. i know him reasonably well. he's very smart. i'm confident he will do a good job. i remember people thinking i was too political to be cia director. i hope history will inform us that that wasn't the case and that i did my job and delivered to the american people in an appro

least national security adviserjohn bolton who before he was in that position used to talk about the need for regime change in iran. there is another constituency that mrlement that does not wa nt to republican element that does not want to see america getting caught up want to see america getting caught up in more middle eastern conflict. the sense that gets them nowhere, painful memories of iraq. in the end, mrtrump will painful memories of iraq. in the end, mr trump will perhaps or perhaps not be listening to both sides. and, as he would say, making his own mind up. thousands of anti—government protesters have again taken to the streets of hong kong. they're protesting against a proposed controversial law change which would allow the extradition of citizens to the chinese mainland. demonstrators walked through a popular tourist area of hong kong to a train station which links the former british colony to the chinese mainland. our correspondent robin brant is in hong kong, and gave us this update. this was all about that proposed extradition built, highly contentious because people in hong kong thought the beijing government could use it as a tool of

national security adviserjohn bolton, before he was in the position he is now in use to talk about the need for regime change in iran. there is another constituency that mrepublican, that does not want to see america getting caught up in more middle eastern conflicts. a sense that gets them nowhere, painful memories of iraq and, in the end, mr trump will perhaps or perhaps not be listening to both the sides. and, as he would say, make his own mind up and it so difficult to predict what is going to do, as we all know, from one week to do, as we all know, from one week to do, as we all know, from one week to do next. as we‘ve seen with north korea, no country america is putting pressure under is going to give up their insurance policy and this uranium enrichment at the moment is iran‘s insurance policy. what‘s the likelihood that they will back down. you feel there is the unstoppable force of mr trump meeting the immovable object of ayatollah khamenei in tehran. at the moment it‘s a very difficult to see quite where there might be any wiggle room. remember, a few weeks ago the japanese leader shinzo abe came to tehran on a very rare mission and received a

mr. moulton: madam speaker, colleagues, this vote is about several things. it is about war with iran. the president and john bolton have manufactured a crisis by withdrawing america from the iran nuclear deal with no alternative. and iran has a strategic advantage over us now that they did not have before. -- before under the deal. this vote is about the authorization for the use of military force passed almost 20 years ago that does not authorize war with iran. we do not underestimate the iranian threat. it's real. it's significant. but that does not make going to war now legal or necessary. but most of all, this vote is about the constitution and our duty to uphold it. it's the commander in chief's job to strengthen our national security, not weaken it as he's done. and it's congress' job to decide when we send young americans to war. the oath that we all took to protect and defend the constitution of the united states is the same oath word for word that i took as a marine officer. our troops are upholding that oath, they are doing their jobs, it's time for us in congress to do ours. i yield back. the chair: the
