. >> reporter: today the nation's top military officer tried to explain what went so wrong. >> why owe the families of the fallen more information. >> reporter: in a rare briefing, general joseph dunford says u.s. special forces, who perhaps thought they could handle the fight themselves, waited an hour after the initial confrontation to call for air support. >> did the mission change? that's one of the questions being asked. that's a fair question, but i can't tell you definitively the answer to that question. >> reporter: too early, he says, to answer that question or others like one from the pregnant wife of sergeant la david johnson. >> i want to know why it took them 48 hours to find my husband. why couldn't i see my husband? every time i asked to see my husband they wouldn't let me. >> reporter: myesha johnson met her husband when she was 6. he was 25 when she held his funeral saturday. days after that controversial condolence call from president trump. >> i heard him stumbling on trying to remember my husband's name and that was hurting me the most because if my husband is out h

being expressed in madrid that offices might not comply the spanish government has deployed national military forces the civil god to the region to ensure the vote does not go ahead six thousand civil guards have been stationed at ports in the region arriving on cruise ships chartered by the spanish interior ministry they'll stay in barcelona until october the third. on saturday morning a convoy of police vans left the port area heading into the city meanwhile the spokes person for catalan his police force says that while orders will be followed it doesn't necessarily mean anything will be prevented. from baltimore we just pull the plug on the main rules of police just to guarantee the internal security of our society in this respect police do not support those evil feet against the referendum. catalans we have no choice but to obey the decisions of the court and prosecutor's office when it's about control over crowds and public we have to see what happens in each individual case if we can't prevent something it doesn't mean we don't follow orders but the most probably we can't do anything ab

a commission has been set up to investigate the matter further just to remind you the national guard is the military police of the russian federation they report directly to the president and this was actually set up by president putin himself in twenty sixteen not so long ago now the national guard is separate to operate separately to the russian armed forces obviously as you said a lot of questions are going to be asked about how this could have happened if we had any incidents. similar to this in the past well actually we have not so long ago at the end of september we saw a similar incident take place in russia's far east but this wasn't in the national guard this was in the russian army a twenty three year old dagestan born soldier opened fire on his fellow servicemen and with their. an automatic rifle he killed three and wounded four he then fled and was later dead by an antiterrorism unit now following that incident the defense ministry said there was reason to believe that the daughter had lashed out after suffering from a nervous breakdown. and incident and several people killed thanks for

president trump is going to be awarding the nation's highest military honor to a retired army medic who risked his life several times in vietnam and laos to provide medical care to his wounded comrades while he was wounded himself. retired army captain gary rose is being honored while serving as a green beret medic with the special forces group during combat operations in september 1970. rose is credited with saving the lives of 60 wounded soldiers during four days of a brutal combat during a secret mission in laos. that is why it has taken so long to get to this point. i want to bring in cnn's jim acosta to talk about this. he is there at the white house. this is the second medal of honor that the president will have awarded, jim? >> reporter: that's right, brianna, and this is one of those rare moments at the white house that is absent of politics. it is really just aimed at honoring the here onheroic actions. retired army captain gary michael rose performed an act of bravery that stands the test of time and this happened in laos during the vietnam war in september 1907 and it was suc

he also had a key appreciation of the importance to new mexico and the nation of our military bases. in 2005, cannon air force base in southern new mexico was slated to close. this would have cost new mexico lots of jobs and would have had a devastating impact on the overall economy of the state. senator domenici along with the entire delegation and governor richardson worked to secure a different and critical mission for cannon air force base. today the 27th special operations wing is going strong at cannon, 6,000 men and women are employed, and rural roosevelt and curry counties benefit from the base's economic impact. senator domenici's fingerprints are not only all over the budget committee but all over the energy and natural resources committee, which he chaired for four years in the early 2000's. and the indian affairs committee which i'm fortunate to sit on today. he helped position the united states to be energy independent through energy policy acts of 2005 and 2007, the last time we really had bipartisan energy acts. and he was a strong advocate on behalf of tribes working

president trump doesn't have that military experience much like his three predecessors with the exception of gorge w. bush in the national guard. kelly has been his most powerful voice in the military, especially on this week's controversy. >> he was doing exactly what he wanted to do when he was killed. he knew getting into by joining that 1%. he knew what the possibilities were because we're at war. and when he died in the four cases we're talking about, the four cases in niger and my son's case in afghanistan. when he died, he was surrounded by the best men on this earth, his friends. that's what the president tried to say to four families the other day. >> mira in florida for us where sergeant la david johnson was laid to rest earlier today. we do begin at the white house. kelly o'donnell is standing by for us. kelly, explain the president with this controversy with congresswoman wilson. a lot of people questioning what he has to gain. >> it's the president's tendency to keep something going. he is sort of now moved congresswoman wilson into a political adversary category, not treating her like a friend of the family

the national military organization in the land of israel. in march nine hundred thirty seven you're going to launched a series of bomb attacks. against arab cafes markets buses and trains. with the cycle of violence in palestine growing. the british decided to act. as a dangerous palace a conference is having to arrive at the solution of the arab jewish problem of palestine. after a conference in london after attended by both arabs and jews the british government produced a white paper setting a limit on jewish immigration to palestine for the next five years to bring peace to be beyond that it would be left to the arab majority to decide to the jews this was complete betrayal soon the british would feel their anger. on the twenty six the bogus one nine hundred thirty nine. it a gun started its own war against the british killing two offices in a bomb attack. six days later the whole well it's descended into war. the name egypt we called off its campaign. so as not to hinder britain's fight against what they called the junos greatest enemy i

we have nbc news's national security and military reporter standing by. but what this is about is the deadliest combat incident since president trump has been in office, the loss of four u.s. army special operations soldiers in niger on october 4th. now, our understanding of this story and the loss of these soldiers has evolved on sort of two parallel tracks since we first learned about the ambush that claimed these soldiers' lives. there's been these two tracks. domestically it has been strange to the point of perplexing and is now a major story of the trump presidency that the president spent 12 days after these combat casualties occurred, 12 days after we now know a national security council statement was drafted for him to issue about those deaths, it took him 12 days to even answer questions about why he hadn't acknowledged publicly in any way that those deaths had happened. the president's refusal to discuss the loss of these soldiers or the circumstances in which they were killed has now stretched beyond the initial 12 days to almost three weeks as

motivates him he believes that japan should become a nation which in his view was a normal nation with a normal military which has normal nationalism and pride so while this is not a mainstream view in japan it's very much been part of obvious character all throughout his life and it's what you know it's one of the things which has guided him and part of that is his family history because his own family was deeply involved in the world war two incidents and he feels that needs to be reevaluated as to have a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. going to the polls in midterm elections with twenty four of seventy two senate seats at stake there are also one hundred twenty seven seats in the lower house up for grabs now the vote is seen as a key test for the president he has a chance to win a majority for the first time since taking office in twenty fifteen. the slovenian president gore has won sunday's first round of voting he received forty seven percent of the votes with nearly all of the ballots counted or is officially an independent but a former longtime leader of the center

of color in the military said that they personally experienced an incidence of white nationalism. at's more, there was the largest differential ever between enlisted men approving of trump and officers approving at trump 48% and 30%. >> wow. >> they point to a military that is not in a good place. that 30% -- >> i did not see that story. >> that 30% officer approval rating of trump is lower than the approval rating of obama, be who was by no means very much favorite. i talked to a couple of friends in the military. they said they can't read minds and they didn't personally interview anybody. they suspect what that has to do with -- the survey was taken even better this incident with the gold star widow where trump appeared to be somewhat insensitive. >> what do you make of that survey, jerry? what do you make of the idea that they will recruit up to the service levels that we need if we expand the navy this fast? >> i don't think we will have problems recruiting. the fact of the matter is the u.s. navy will draw from the enlisted ranks or officer ranks to be able to fill those. i t
