>> nikki: do i need one? >> victoria: let me guess. it's been a while. you miss me. you know i make you a mean cup of tea. >> nikki: [ laughs ] correct on all accounts. >> victoria: you definitely did not stop by to talk about the fool that i made of myself on gc buzz, i'm sure. >> nikki: i cannot believe that that witch hilary aired that argument with benjamin on her show. >> victoria: yeah, well, that makes two of us. >> nikki: are you all right? >> victoria: it was irritating for a day. but what can you do? when you're a newman, there will always be opportunists like hilary curtis waiting in the weeds. especially if dad enables them. >> nikki: well, i know you've been looking for some common ground. but the way he's been acting lately... >> victoria: lately? that's very generous. when i think about the damage that dad has done to my life,

nikki haley to his right.his will be an action-packed week, shannon, in a way we haven't quite seen before. president trump likes to surprise. what will his speech be about tomorrow? how will he challenge these world leaders? what will he say about north korea? how will he phrase his whole america first theme in front of these leaders? will he be conciliatory or take a tone when we saw in nato six months ago when he was in brussels challenging world leaders to do a better job at contributing more to the military in each government that's been agreed to in the past. but a measure that has not been met by the majority of european countries. >> shannon: we remember the discomfort on the faces of some of those nato members as they stood with the president thinking it would be about dedicating the 9/11 memorial and the article 5 memorial there. instead some of them got a bit of a lecture for not stepping up what they committed and agreed to. a beautiful new facility in brussels and the president sort of taking a pa

perfect time for nikki bella, whose fiance, john cena, will be in the audience for the first time. imbresz him. it will be dancing and looking over and like, oh, okay. >> reporter: monday night, nikki and artem will turn up the heat. talk to me about your girltty pleasure. >> i automatically thought, red room. like -- >> reporter: so it wasn't that? >> i guess i should have thought of chocolate and red wine and champagne. i mean, john built me a red room. >> what is it? >> my play room. >> like a real red room? >> yes, real red room. it turned out so beautifully. i had all my family there for total bellas. we clipped a section of having drinks. we put away some of the furniture. and, um, made it more of an afterdrinks -- lounge. the walls are like beautiful red. velvet. a lot of drawers. for us, like a red room is not this crazy uncomfortable thing. so, i don't know. i think all couples need to do that. explore each other, right? am i allowed to say that? >> okay, so i'm officially blushing. and this is officially the steam miest season of "dancing with the stars" ever. >> they jus

nikki haley was tough. enough is enough.t it earlier, it was a very thinly veiled threat to china, aimed at that country. from what you're seeing is this administration taking the right strategy moving forward? >> absolutely not. it's very frustrating. i admired at least the consistency and seriousness of nikki haley's talk. what's missing here are the other pieces that would have made this easy for china. i've been to beijing many times. china is deeply, deeply frustrated with north korea. not in the same way we are. they have differences with the united states. they are angry, they are upset. they as an incumbent global nuclear power doesn't want to see north korea go down this track. so why is it so hard to seduce them with us. they worked with us on the iran deal. they are not working with us as much as donald trump wants because he kicks kicking them in the shins as we're going. that's what's missing. this shouldn't be something where steve mnuchin is threatening to cut off $5 billion of imports from china over this. th

ambassador nikki haley.ed to speak to the press any moment on sanctions on north korea. as we await her remarks, let's analysis of the president's remarks of the executive order today. we are joined by craig gordon and kevin cirilli. they join us from our washington dc bureau. kevin, talk a little bit about the context in which the president made the remarks about north korea and the follow-up from steve mnuchin. kevin: the president saying that essentially this is one step further in the tracker north korea to get rid of its nuclear ambitions. i would just note that i think u.n. ambassador rice nikki haley has played such a crucial role and it is receiving top billing not just from the international community but also from the u.s. administration. the president has departed new york city on route to that mr. but there is no question that nikki haley is really playing a key role here. she has been able to get not just china but russia at the table for a series of rows of sanctions. in the past couple of hour

. >> we heard the same thing from nikki haley at the un. president trump feeted the united states is considering in addition to other options stopping all trade with any country doing business with north korea. our man on the north lawn, kevin cork, live at the white house. kevin, have you seen anybody head in today, secretary of state tillerson, mattis, mcmaster, the national security advisor? >> you've been over here plenty of times, you know how it works. keeping our eye on the west exec and the walkway. so far not yet. this is a circumstance, leland, where theed a mshgs is speaking with one voice. time for talk is apparently over. and i say apparently, because as you heard from nikki haley, it is clear that the united states is pushing, not only the united nations but in particular china. as you point out with that tweet, if you won't act we're not afraid to act unilaterally. that could have catastrophic consequences. the president tweeting today, south korea, finding as i told them talk of appeasement with north korea will not work. th

>> nikki: oh. in that bed with this blissful quiet? how could i not?ck: well, you could pretend you missed having me in that bed with you. >> nikki: [ chuckles ] no pretense necessary. you and i agreed -- >> jack: hey, hey, hey. you can make it all up to me with a good-morning kiss. >> nikki: oh. well... good morning. thank you for remembering my tea. >> jack: always. always. i need the java in the morning, even if it comes out of a coffeemaker we've had here for decades. >> nikki: hmm. >> jack: no double-shot, no-foam soy lattes for me. >> nikki: well, i'll stick with my tried and true any time. >> jack: that almost sounds like a reference to victor.

we should get up there again soon. >> nikki: i'd like that. there's just something so wonderful about that place. it makes me feel alive. it's just...unique. i can't explain it. i feel truly like i can be myself, and i haven't felt that way in a long time. >> jack: have you told victor? >> nikki: no, and i'm not going to because then it would become about him instead of us, and that's the last thing i want.

here's what nikki haley said yesterday at a special u.n. security council meeting. >> only the strongest sanctions will enable us to resolve this problem through diplomacy. we have kicked the can down the road long enough. there is no more road left. >> perhaps oil sanctions cutting it off from china to the north would have some impact. is there any sense in the military community that any further sanctions will have any impact on the north's development of nuclear weapons? >> it really depends on how effective those sanctions are, and especially how well they're targeted. so if you're looking at oil, for example, that could absolutely be something that is cut off. the problem is that it's a very porous border between north korea and china. there's a lot of smuggling that goes often the minute sanctions are put -- goes on there. the minute sanctions are put in place against china and north korea, the very next day smugglers would be involved in operation that's get vital goods like oil, other raw materials, to the north. they would continue

nikki batista's here in new york. good morning, nikki. >> reporter: good morning, anne-marie.resident trump cleared the way for more supplies to head to puerto rico yesterday, waving restrictions on foreign ships delivering cargo to the island. he later tweeted, "fema and first responders are doing a great job." a three-star army general is spending his first full day in puerto rico,en hurricane response. lieutenant general jeff buchanan will help coordinate the more than 7,000 troops and 10,000 government workers trying to rebuild, restore power to the island, and distribute clean water and food. >> the relief effort is under control. it is proceeding very well. >> reporter: acting homeland security secretary elaine duke is among those in the trump administration who is praising the government's response, as is the president himself via twitter, saying in part, "fema and first responders are amazing." residents of the island, though, say more than a week since hurricane maria hit, help is scarce and disorganized. laura brown says she's sending her children to miami on board a
