mr. mattis: i fully agree with secretary tillerson. i think this is an area that a number of facts would have to bear on the problem in order to give you a complete answer, senator. mr. murphy: i thank you both for your answers. i think the primary fact is whether there is an attack or an imminent attack, i think other than those two facts, you need to come to congress for authorization. but i appreciate your answers. secretary mattis, i wanted to drill down a little bit more on the title 10 authority. you certainly have title 10 authority to conduct training missions abroad. you're using that authority in niger. today you've properly notified congress. you referenced president obama's notification. but how do you answer concerns that our constituents may have when it looks as if a training mission is something more than training? that we are actually putting american troops out in harm's way, partnered with local forces, engaged in activities that imperils u.s. men and women . to many folks this didn't look like a train mission it. loo

mr. tillerson and mr. trump are saying, hey, you be the good guy. it seems like mr. uff and is doing so again this time. the secretary of state himself rex tillerson was in beijing, talking with reporters and saying, listen. we have three channels out to pyongyang and we are "propbing the lines of communication." there would be little reason for him to say that and the for donald trump to backtrack saying, mr. tillerson, you are wasting your time, calling him by his first name, rex. we are going to do this our way and get the job done. it is a clear undercutting of mr. tillerson. if mr. tillerson was taken by surprise, that might be the least of the surprise. with that said, all roads do lead to china and that is why mr. tillerson was there to train triangulate a strategy to see if they can stop north korea from continuing to send missiles over japan, over the pacific and possibly to the united states. angie: thank you for that. let's head back to andrew harris right now, still with us. he brings up a great point. the u.s. and china are very closely and deeply tied. l

mr. tillerson? >> mm-hmm. >> not well at all. this was as we reported at the time, many presidents do go to the jamboree, but no president has ever used that jamboree to make a political speech like president trump did. and the boy scouts were extremely unhappy with it. boy scouts leagues were unhappy and so was mr. tillerson. >> this was senator corker, republican of tennessee, chairman of senate foreign relations and interestingly a guy who has said i'm out, i'm not going to run for re-election. so politics can't be hung over his head unlike so many of his senate colleagues. this is what he said today about his circle -- it was men he mentioned -- around president trump. >> i think secretary tillerson, secretary mattis and chief of staff kelly are those people that help separate our country from chaos. look, i see what's happening here. i deal with people throughout the administration, and he from my perspective is an incredibly frustrating place. as i watch -- okay, and i can watch very closely on many occasions, he ends up no

said mr tillerson was "wasting his time". a congressional committee there was no contradiction. i believe that secretary tillerson is accurately stating that we are probing for opportunities to talk with the north. all we are doing is probing, not talking, consistent with the president's dismay about not talking with them before the time is right, before they are willing to talk. so i do not see the divergences is strongly as some have interpreted it. at the same time, the president is has a responsibility to ensure that we go into this with our eyes wide open. numerous administrations in the past have been disappointed with this initiative. also making news, the english city of oxford, where the civilian leader of myanmar, aung san suu kyi, studied for a degree has voted to remove an honour from her because of her government's treatment of rohingya muslims. oxford granted the nobel laureate the freedom of the city twenty years ago. the head of the city council said she was no longer worthy of the award. half—a—million rohing

the iranian—backed militias to go home but the us doesn't have much leverage and this is' why mr tillersonen iraq and saudi arabia which is a powerful sunni state. well you are in qatar where the secretary of state is, and he talked here in the last couple of hours or so about this feud we've seen between former apparent allies, saudi and qatar, urging calm again, what likelihood? it is a real problem for the americans. their main allies in their region are at each other‘s throats really. this block of arab states led by saudi arabia has accused qatar of hating islamist extremists and supporting elements of their governments and mr tillerson was trying to make another sta b tillerson was trying to make another stab at getting them to resolve this issue but he hassed a muted that the saudis were not ready to come to the table yet. there's not a strong indication the parties are r ready to talk yet. and so, we cannot force talks upon people who are not ready to talk. so there has been no invitation to the white house because it's not clear that parties are ready to engage and we're going to

mr tillerson is about to head off on a trip to south asia, mr trump has an announced a new asia policyanistan as well as the wider region, he wants to lay out his vision for how a relationship would develop with india over the next century. he said it would be an important strategic relationship based on shared values. there was a clear regional element that brought in china, as you heard. the subtitle to the speech was, a foundation for a free and open indo pacific. mr tillerson said india could be an important anchor of this free and open indo pacific, he also specifically criticise china for provocative actions in the south china sea. it was a signal to the chinese that the americans were willing to build regional alliances to counter china's power where they felt it should be counted. he did not go into specifics of course, but the senior official said we will not shrink from or ignored these subversion of china of the rules —based international order. subversion of china of the rules -based international order. lots of warm overtures towards india, did he have much to say about pa

mr. tillerson, obviously. i mean, it's not considered a partisan event. >> andrea, i have a clip for you to watch. this was senator corker, republican of tennessee, chairman of senate foreign relations and interestingly a guy who has said i'm out. i'm not going to run for re-election, so politics can't be hung over his head, unlike so many of his senate colleagues. this is what he said today about the circle of -- it was men he mentioned around president trump. >> i think secretary tillerson, secretary mattis, and chief of staff kelly are those people that help separate our country from chaos. i mean, look, i see what's happening here. i deal with people throughout the administration, and he from my perspective is an incredibly frustrating place. as i watch, okay, and i can watch very closely on many occasions, i mean, you know, he ends up not being supported in the way that i would hope a secretary of state would be supported. and that's just from my vantage point. >> andrea, that was a jaw drorp to me today

mr. tillerson's body language and eye rolling left little doubt that. mr. trump they said noticed how mr. tillerson slouches in his presence, particularly when he disagrees with a decision. when overruled, mr. tillerson often says, it's your deal, to the president's irritation according to two former administration officials. does that sound like white house meetings you're familiar with? >> no. it does not sound like white house meetings i'm familiar with. absolutely not. you played that tape before of sarah huckabee sanders and reminded me why i wanted to play poke with her. she has a tell. she says ridiculous when something is true and can't deny it. trump, tillerson calling trump a moron, ridiculous. undercut him, ridiculous. well, the word she is not using is false and she can't use that word because it's not false. those things are ridiculously true and that's a big problem for the trump white house. >> jennifer, one thing and i noted this last night also that the white house got gotten around to is defending the president against the charge that he i

arabia and on the emirates to resolve the crisis so i think that really is what's going on here mr tillerson i think we've known his perspective from quite some time he's been i think sympathetic to the cuts to reposition but it's also been known especially at the very beginning when mr trump was irresponsibly making tweets about qatar and terrorism and so on that cut that trump has been less sympathetic to the cuts reposition and shall we say maybe more beholden to saudi whisperings so if i understand what you're saying correctly that basically whatever efforts rex tillerson might be tempted to make in trying to find some sort of mediation in this dispute the saudis are going to automatically buy a pos him and their own minds and go straight to the president of the united states because that's where they're getting their support. i think that's correct and i think if you've been in the united states for the last week there have been real questions not just about mr tillerson zx efficacy with regard to qatar but mr chiller soon standing in the white house there had been reports that mr chill

mr. tillerson often says, "it's your deal," to the president's irritation. i love this stuff! this is high school crap! if i were trump, i would be mad. in any way he can, he shows disrespect. >> i had four people -- the "it's your deal" thing apparently drives trump completely nuts. >> it implies bonehead. >> well, if you want to go at that, it's your deal. >> what do you expect from a die who makes a big deal about being a dealmaker. and so, again, this gets back to the earlier point that tillerson has had enough. he's fed up and he's pushing back. and i think he's pushing himself out the door. >> let me get back to ann. you were a solid reporter. and i'm thinking, this is almost like going into a funhouse mirror situation. >> i certainly never covered any secretary of state like rex tillerson, any president like tru trump, or any relationship like the two of them have. it's completely -- it's completely new and it's completely bonkers. i mean, you can't do diplomacy like this. i mean, you can do foreign policy, but you can't do diplomacy. >> yeah, the north koreans are laug

mr. tillerson, mr. trump figured out how to make this work. i think they're doing it. trish: part of issue is iran deal. people are saying rex tillerson is in favor of keeping it while the president campaigned on and still insists we have to get out of that thing. >> that could be good cop, bad cop. trish: yeah? do you want that on display, good cop, bad cop? i mean i think you want to be a united front. >> sometimes that's what you want. i would agree with adam here, last thing i want to see rex tillerson leave the administration at this point. one you have to go through another set of confirmmation hearings with critical time of our country given geopolitical flak we're seeing around the world. every corner of the planet is a hot spot. last thing you want to do is upset the state department. i think he is doing a great job. if there is backlash between him and president, let as move beyond it. trish: what do you think henry kissinger's advice would be on this, david? henry kissinger meeting with the president today. >> i would hope he told the president to back off on

mr tillerson told reporters at the state department that he supported the president's foreign and domestickilled in an ambush in niger. officials said the special forces commandos were on joint patrol with local troops when they were attacked near the border with mali. the us military has been providing training and other assistance to niger's army to help combat islamist militants a0 people have been sentenced to life in prison in turkey for trying to assassinate president erdogan during last year's failed coup. the defendants, mostly former special forces, were convicted of attacking a hotel where mr erdogan had been staying. amnesty international is urging european countries to stop returning failed asylum seekers to afghanistan. a report by the rights group says the determination to increase deportations is in brazen violation of international law — and it accuses european governments of being wilfully blind to evidence that civilian casualties in afghanistan are mounting. the president of catalonia has again appealed for mediation over the region's bid for independence. last weekend's

speaking in the last 30 minutes, mr tillerson said he had never considered leaving office. that have been erroneously reported this morning. the vice—president has never had to persuade me to remain as secretary of state because i have never considered leaving this post. he value the friendship and the counsel of the vice—president and i admire his leadership within president trump's administration to address the many important agendas of president trump, both from a foreign policy prospective and a diplomatic, sorry domestic objective. rex tillerson there. still the us secretary of state after reports he might resign. he's not. our north america correspondent has been watching it for us in washington. we we re watching it for us in washington. we were not sure what to expect when he came to the podium, was he going to quit, was he not? but he says he is staying and he is full square behind the president. you usually don't see surprise conferences like this to —— conferences like this. there was a news story that pointed out there will there were conflicts between tillerson

ealier, mr tillerson had disclosed the us was directly communicating with north korea on its nuclear but that pyongyang had shown no interest in dialogue. our correspondent gary o'donoghue is in washington. it is an extraordinary way, in a sense, to communicate with one of your most senior members of the cabinet, when you could pick up the phone and talk to him. so there is some sort of strategy, i think, at least in the president's mind, going on here. it may be that he think there is some value playing bad cop to rex tillerson‘s good cop, saying that his patience has run out, while rex tillerson tries to sort of manipulate and operate domestic channels on another hand. however, the north korean leader is not known to react well to personal insults — a bit like the president himself in that sense. and calling him "little rocket man" and this sort of thing is not going to, i think, make him well disposed to any diplomatic overtures. so it is a curious strategy. and we heard anything from rex tillerson? the state department, under the guise of its spokeswoman, put out some tweets sayi

mr. tillerson was talking about conquering the spread of iran's influence. are you worried about the spread of iran in the region, and you think it is a threat? sec. tillerson: with respect to talks getting underway, yes, i did in my readings with the crown prince asked him to please .ngage in dialogue there is not a strong indication the parties are ready to talk it. cannot force talks on people who are not ready to talk. there has been no invitation to the white house, because it is not clear parties are ready to engage. we are going to continue to work toward that dialogue and that engagement, but as i said, we cannot and will not impose a solution on anyone. with respect to iran gaining, the most immediate and obvious game that iran has is it is qatar is only airspace. position ofr in a having to engage with iran in a positive way to meet qatar's needs. this removes other alternatives for qatar. example of what we are concerned about, but there isat, anytime conflict and dd -- destabilization among countries that are typically allies, someone will always

mr. tillerson in react was looking at -- riyadh was talking about the influence in iraq. are you worried about this spread of iran's influence, and you think it is a threat? rex tillerson: with respect to the talks getting underway, i did have my meetings with the crown prince. i asked him to please engage in dialogue. there is not a strong indication parties are ready to talk yet. so we cannot force talks on people who are not ready to talk . there has been no invitation to the white house because it is not clear parties are ready to engage. we are going to continue to work towards that dialogue and words that engagement. -- towards that engagement. we will not impose a solution on anyone. with respect to iran gaining, i think the media and -- immediate and obvious gain ironic -- iran has is it is qatar only airspace. this puts qatar in needing to engage with iran to meet their needs, but this removes a lot of alternatives for qatar to seek what is best for its own people as well. that is just a simple example of what we are concerned about. beyond that, anytime there ar

rex tillerson tried to tamp down reports of a rift between he and mr. trump. y of state called the media to report he was not on the verge of resigning. tillerson was not convincing and asked if he had called the president a moron? >> i think it is most important part of the article to reaffirm my role to the position. and disspell the notion of me mreefg. >> did you call the president a moron. >> i am not dealing with petty stuff like that. >> lou: petty or not. he was close to the of position of creation and that means tillerson himself was a person it seems to be responsible for the subject being approach. and the president had to reign in tillerson for negotiating with north korea and tweeted that tillerson is wasting his time. and defense secretary of mattes that is a star in the trump line up not only contradetected the president but strayed away from his lane has he seems to do. and mattis told the senate that the iran nuclear deal is in our national intchlt but the president has not made a final determination on that issue. and for the ousted tom price.

mr tillerson told reporters at the state department that he supported the president's foreign and domesticbyrnes is associate editor of us political website the hill. he joins us now from washington. the reporters running with this story seem very sure of their sources, the president and his supporters are shouting fake news. what do you think? we've had the president come out and call this fa ke president come out and call this fake news. nbc news, which broke that story... i think we've lost jessie, we will try and get him back. jessie, can you hear us? especially in july back. jessie, can you hear us? especially injuly he gave that politicised speech before the boy scouts of america group that tillerson used to lead. tillerson having to push back on that, something that dominated the news in dc today, him pushing back on speculation that he would have resigned as a cabinet official in trouble's administration. the allegation was that he just threatened to resign but he caused the president a moron, in fact an effing moron at a pentagon meeting, what do you make of that? he didn't direct

mr tillerson told reporters at the state department that he supported the president's foreign and domesticce president has never had to persuade me to remain as secretary of state because i have never considered leaving this post. i value the friendship and the council of the vice president and i admire his leadership within president trump's administration to address the many important agendas of president trump both from a foreign policy perspective and a diplomatic... i'm sorry, domestic objective. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: second world war secrets. the brothers who finally discovered their father's resting place more than 70 years after his death. in all russia's turmoil, it has never come to this. president yeltsin said the day would decide the nation's destiny. the nightmare that so many people have feared for so long is playing out its final act here. russians are killing russians in front of a grandstand audience. it was his humility which produced affection from catholics throughout the world. but his departure is a tragedy for the catholic church. israel's right—wi

and three do you think the iranians are benefiting from this crisis and a question to share any mr tillersonin riyadh was talking about countering the spread of iran's influence especially in iraq do you are you worried about the spread of iran's influence in the region and do you think it is a threat thank you. with respect to the talks getting underway yes i did and by meetings with the crown prince mohammed bin solomon asked him to please and gauge please and gauge in dialogue. there is not a strong indication that parties are ready to talk yet. and so we cannot force talks upon people who are not ready to talk so there has been no invitation to the white house because it's not clear that parties are ready to engage and we're going to continue to work towards that dialogue and towards that engagement but as i said in response to an earlier question we we cannot and will not impose a solution on anyone with respect to iran gaining i think the most immediate and obvious gain that iran has is that it is qatar's only air space available for qatar to operate and so it puts qatar in a position

he was asked about reports that mr tillerson called the president a moron, to which donald trump repliediscussed before, mr trump has a track record of remembering things that he has taken quite personally? right, exactly. there is this saying that it is a joke is true is wrapped in a smile. 0ften times when they talk about donald trumpjoking times when they talk about donald trump joking he is times when they talk about donald trumpjoking he is saying something he means. he has a certain amount of deniability. and donald trump goes tend to take slights personally, particularly slides about his intellect. as you saw during the campaign he talked about his education, his grades, his language, and decried elites who were criticising him. this is not unusual. he calls himself a counterpuncher, so pretty much anything that is said about him, he will come back. even though he thought the rex tillerson thing was fa ke thought the rex tillerson thing was fake news, just in case he is going to reassure everyone that he is smarter than him, they are taking an iq test. donald trump has returned to
