crowds have been watching cricket at the oval since 1880.e on south africa. the weather will determine how much play we actually get to see, as the oval how much play we actually get to see, as the 0valjoins a short and ‘s list of centurions. lords on 133, melbourne on 100 and nine —— 109, syd ney melbourne on 100 and nine —— 109, sydney on 105 stock they are the only venues to have reached a landmark. it was at the oval in 1882 that english cricket was said to have died, and the ashes was born. in 1938 it was the scene of len hutton‘s knock of 306 if 0regon‘s via australian is. more recently came the ashes clinching moments of 2005 and 2009. as test match venues 90, 2005 and 2009. as test match venues go, the oval somehow breaks the mould. i don't think the atmosphere has changed much, even if you look through old editions of wisden, you can see articles written by players talking about enjoying the boisterous crowds at the oval. there is something special about this place. when you come here you come as you are, everybody is welcome here,

not just oval but now oval plus and we are a lucky city we are able to do great things across the townt here is where it happens of course on the ben franklin parkway, specifically eakins oval. i got the drawing. look at this they have a map in the city of philadelphia, trying to marcus right here cbs-3, you know where it is at , 15th and spring garden. this is jamie from the fairmount park conservatory, hello, good morning. >> good morning. >> so tell us about the evolution of the oval now called oval puts. >> i'm from the fairmount park conservancy that is a non- profit that work to advance the park system along with the city of philadelphia so, several years ago we looked at a plan called more park less way, a plan done by an organization called penn practicals is and it recommended creating more park space along parkway, more fun programming along the parkway and better pedestrian access. >> sure. >> it was all about getting people on the parkway. so, our pop up park here at eakins oval was first realization of the more park less way plan and thinks a fifth year in the row we have

anyway, it is not called just the oval anymore. it is called oval plus because there is a ton to do here along ben franklin parkway. the awesome shot of the city of philadelphia, looking down on the oval plus. this is one of the men who helped create this. this is mark from the city of philadelphia parks and recreation division. how are you. >> good, how are you. >> tell us what we have stepped in here. >> this is next iteration of the oval, oval plus this year we have stepped up our game and elevated entire experience bringing to it life with these awesome installations we see behind us. each space has its own theme. to our right we have the nature room, which has a beautiful planter box from our green land nursery plants and tells but the park history and bring us some things you probably don't know about. we want to educate people about our park system, show some hidden gems and give them a little taste of what is to come which is now our arts and culture playroom to our left. >> that is where i was in the sand box. >> we have p

cricket and the third test against south africa began today at the oval.t was a struggle for england with their captainjoe root one of the wickets to fall. rain stopped play early with england on 171—4. football and england are through to the quarter—finals of the women's european championships. they beat portugal to top their group. but scotland, despite winning, failed to go through. katie gornall is in tilburg, in the netherlands. a mixed night, then. it really was. scotland unlikely winners against spain but they could not find the crucial second goal to send them through but england as expected here maintained their 100% record to reach the quarterfinals, although they did not have it all their own way against portugal. tournament football usually holds a few shocks and surprises. riding out the twists and turns is what marks a champion. here in tilburg england's smooth progression was expected to continue. unlike a number of big teams at this championship, england had yet to put a foot wrong and taking it all in her stride was toni duggan, six minute

here isjoe wilson at the oval. it isa here isjoe wilson at the oval.ly lunchtime at the oval and wona is a drizzly lunchtime at the oval and won a lot of captains saw the overcast conditions today i think they would have bowled. joe root decided to bat and he is learning there is no end to the responsibilities of england captain and when keating jennings was out for zero i wonder he was wrestling with decisions. certainly people will be questioning jennings' ongoing place in the england team and they need somebody in the batting order to nail down a position. who knows, it could be tom westley. coming in at three, a difficult situation, he showed a lot of composure. looked aware of his technique, strong on the lakeside in particular clipping some boundaries there but alastair cook at the other end, essex team—mates, alastair cook guiding and nudging his way forward again. they were still there when the players came off a little early for the lunch break. at this stage of england's development they will ta ke of england's development they will take that

so, 100 up for the oval tomorrow and the famous old ground has seen some famous performances down thee last time england met south africa four years ago, hashim amla scored a mammoth unbeaten 311 as the tourists won — it's still the only test triple century scored by a south african batsman. and you only have to go back 23 years to find the greatest test bowling performance at the oval — again south africa were the tourists with devon malcolm taking nine wickets for 57 in an astonishing display of pace and fire. malcolm's figures are the fourth best by an england bowler of all time. england supporters will be hoping for some of that over the next five days. tennis now and 12—time grand slam champion novak djokovic won't play again this year because of an elbow injury. it means he'll miss this year's us open in new york — the first time he'll miss a major since making his debut in 200a. djokovic retired hurt during his quarterfinal at wimbledon earlier this month and said at the time he was considering taking a break to recover from what is a long—standing injury. in a message on socia

inside the oval office. it seems like from the outside, uncertainty and chaos on the inside, he turns to a general to try to straighten out the oval office. >> the situation in the white house was unsustainable. it could not continue like this. they needed to be a shakeup. the lack of success, the obamacare repeal was just the latest on top of all this. this needed to happen. the cost in the end i think charles raises it quite correctly when he said it's not so much that the structure is fair, does president trump want to live within the structure? will he abide by a structure that kelly can bring to it? i don't have any doubt that the former dhs secretary could do that with precision. you have to have a president willing to do those things. will we see this moving the agenda forward? what happens next on obamacare? on taxes? with the debt ceiling? there's a lot of frustration on capitol hill, it has been brewing for some time. the president and white house hasn't done a good job in putting forward a very cl

we have had dark clouds at the oval.moves into northern england over the next few hours and the winds strengthen, sweeping its south eastwards. probably clear by the end of the night, clear skies following on behind. blustery showers remain across scotland and northern ireland. lows of 12 or 13 degrees. first thing saturday, showers in the north—west, chiefly across the north—west, chiefly across the north—west of northern ireland and north—west of northern ireland and north—west scotland. drier in eastern regions of scotland. not many showers and northern england, mostly in cumbria. most of england and wales starts dry and bright with sunshine. this cloud close to the south coast. the rain from last night not clearing away and moved northwards during the day. we may not be quite so lucky with the weather at the oval tomorrow, rain likely by the afternoon and possibly into the evening session as well. this rain works its way northwards. how quickly far north it gets that is the tricky part. driving midlands and northern

he said he is in the oval office, going to be in the oval office ready with a pen ready to sign this thing. >> he is. we have had those discussions here. i think leader mcconnell and his members are working very hard. vice president pence has been our greatest asset on capitol hill all along but particularly this week. the result is an additional $70 billion in a stability fund and that is really a supplement to us already there allowing people for the first time to use health savings accounts to pay their premiums. because we hear from americans all the time that those who even bother to have obamacare, they are having a difficult time meeting these premiums. so the fact that you can use health savings account money to do that, there is 45 billion in there for opioid funding. there are protections in there for those who are on medicaid, and, you know, so far the democrats, who everybody from bill clinton to sitting senators who have admitted that obamacare has not worked as well as it needed to or as the projection suggested it would be, they have only come to the table with two ide

this picture was actually taken yesterday at the oval. good day for martin, there.ust a very small chance of a shower, not quite as breezy as today. there'll be some sunshine and it will be warm into that sunshine too. for many southern parts of the uk, there will be very few showers around at all. wales, up across the midlands, northern england, catching a few showers running through, not as widespread as we saw yesterday. but there will be some slow—moving heavy thundery downpours across northern ireland and into scotland. maybe some hail as well. 17—18 degrees here, at best 23 towards the south—east of england. tuesday sees some further showers across the uk. but even further north, those showers not as wide spread. one or two heavy ones around but very much hit and miss, again towards the south—east likely to stay dry with some sunshine. the jetstream is all—importa nt, of course, and normally it is sitting at this time of the year between scotland and iceland but right now it's much, much further south and hence this very unsettled weather. as we head towards t

i met with him before we sat in the oval office. we are committed as true professionals to the team and the process of getting the administration's message out. i said it during the transition, and i will say again appear. i think at times there has been a disconnect between the way we see the president, how much we love the president, and how much you see of the president. we want to get the message out there. to use it wall street expression, there might be an arbitrage spread between how well we are doing and how well you think we are doing. so, we will work to close that spread. i will now answer questions. i will try to get as many as i can. >> number one, what we have seen so far is the president being his own messenger frequently which calls -- which causes struggles for the communications staff. have you hope to get the white house back on track? >> the white house is on track, and i think we are doing a good job. we have a whole list of things. i did not want to come out here with a list of the compliments advertisement inf

i think there was a little bit of rain at the oval.y! there will be further showers in the vicinity.

the third test against south africa began today at the oval.joe root was one struggle for england but their captainjoe root was one of struggle for england but their captain joe root was one of the wickets to fall. rain stopped play a short time ago with england on 171-4. short time ago with england on 171—4. rain at the oval, what about the rest of the country? few have escaped a heavy downpour. one moment you have the blue sky, then the dark clouds build and after that, well, what do you think, the rain comes. the showers have lasted too long though. but perhaps a rumble of thunder and some hail, in fact there have been thunderstorms across parts of the east midlands and lincolnshire in the last hour or so. many southern and eastern parts of the uk become mainly dry but the showers are still there for northern ireland, parts of north—west england and western scotland, and still there into tomorrow morning. for a large part of england and wales during tomorrow morning and the first part of the afternoon, things will be fine, a bit of sunshine,

remember, for that meeting the white house refused to let any american media into the oval office toover that meeting, but trump did let the russians persuade him to allow the russians to bring in their own dpifl russian photographer, with his own equipment into the oval office, after which they admitted they had no idea that photographer also worked for a russian news agency and would publish all of the photos. a white house official told the washington post thereafter, we were not informed by the russians that their official photographer was dual-hatted and would be releasing the photographs on the state news agency." cnn's jim accosta got a white house official to speak much more bluntly on the subject. this was his tweet. "white house furious over russian government photos of trump meeting with lavrov kislyak. they tricked us. they tricked us. they lie." it went awesome last time they met with russians. now he will meet with vladimir putin tomorrow. the only other people in the room besides trump and putin and two translateors at that meeting will be rex tillerson, who was person

they're going to go straight into the oval office. there are exceptional folks that will go straight to the oval office, much like scaramucci. the requirement is you don't get in the middle of that. once you do is that once those individuals leave the oval office, the first person they see is the chief of staff so you can have what's called a dump. what did the president say? what did you guys discuss, if in fact, john kelly is not invited into the room. so those kinds of exceptions take place all the time in organizations. >> let me ask you. >> john kelly will get his arms around that in no time. >> are you comfortable with just the prominence and the number of uniformed or formerly uniformed officers in and around this administration? i mean, general kelly himself last year in the midst of the campaign, while he was still in uniform, warned other -- his colleagues about the marass of washington politics. now he's as close to it as you get. >> correct. he's wedging right into it. he understands what needs to take place. when you look

keep going straight up the stairs, oval office. hook to the right, to the press secretary's traditional prime real estate in the west wing. anthony scaramucci, will he take that? other office in the west wing? the communications director tends to get one without the windows, or not as prime real estate. >> smaller office. you know, we're making some light about this as we watch it, but white house geography, real estate, is important. as we watch sean spicer go and anthony scaramucci come in, it's an unmistakable fact that this is also a blow to the power of the white house chief of staff reince priebus. >> right. >> what message is the president sending his chief of staff? >> that you don't matter as much, in many ways. it was this sort of watch for spicer and how long he stays on and in ways there's been a constant watch for reince priebus as well. this i think is one of the biggest indications of how disempowered he is in that white house. and how this president is doubling down on that inner circle of javanka, and in that inner

and it is a tonne up for the oval as the south london ground becomes the fourth test venue to stage 100ampion novak djokovic won't play again this year because of an elbow injury. it means he'll miss this year's us open in new york — the first time he'll miss a major since making his debut in 2004. djokovic retired hurt during his quarterfinal at wimbledon earlier this month and said at the time he was considering taking a break to recover from what is a long—standing injury. in a message on social media, he confirmed he wouldn't need surgery but rest was necessary. it will take a couple of months at least without the racket, and then i am hoping that i can start after that to train. i'm looking forward, to be honest, to build my body, my game, my team as well, obviously. i am happy to share that andre agassi is committed to staying with me next year. so djokovic has made the move to prolong his career. and also he'll hope it will stop his slide in form when he returns. david 0rnstein has been looking back at his last 12 months to see how he's slipped down the world rankings. if we cast

where were you so upset about bill clinton's actions in the oval office? >> oh, i was one of the ones who criticized bill clinton and many democratic women criticized bill clinton. >> but many did not. >> so maybe you should go back and look at history if you think that didn't happen or even if you think the conservative media did not criticize bill clinton, or i'm sorry, barack obama, ask the secret service to see if he was not and his family and his wife and chhis children were no given death threats. just ask secret service. you know, history is so, you know, people seem to forget it so quickly when it's their own guy in the white house. >> boris -- >> i'm going to give you a chance to talk here. >> sure. from the republican standpoint and i would like to think kelly would agree with me on this, this has been a relatively good week for the administration with regard to the travel ban. that's a victory in some ways for this administration. they had a strong focus on energy and energy dominance, which is critical in a very strong issue for this presidency

. >> i am sit nothing the oval office with a pen in hand and waiting for our senators to give it to me they have talked about repeal and replace. they passed it 61 times. but that didn't mean anything. >> lou: those other times meant nothing and it all means everything now. and of course, mcconnell and ryan are not effective getting anything done no matter the title or length of service. they have sponsored fewer than 15 pieces of legislations that came in the long tenures on capitol hill. the combined years amount to a half century. the swamp they have lived in and worked in so long urgently now needs draining and they need to be helped to some other place and higher and dryer foreevermore. i love happy endings. albert estien said weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character and there is an epidemic in washington. ray vows independence and denies the russian investigation is a witch hunt. >> i will never allow the fbi's work to be driven by anything than the fact and law. >> lou: is the swamp about to get deeper and we'll take it up with fox's gregg jarret. and the president kee

and in the middle of that attack, the president told all of his teammates who were in the oval office that day how he is going to testify when robert mueller asks him under oath if he kicked all of them out of the room when he asked to speak with james comey alone. he's going to testify "i don't remember," and he's giving all of the other witnesses in the case, all of the witnesses on his team who were in the oval office that day, the signal right now, tonight, of how he wants them to handle that question. the president is making it publicly clear that on that question, the trump position is "i don't remember," and on that question it's going to be donald trump's credibility versus james comey's credibility. and everyone in that room is going to have to choose a side. and there is no reason tonight, none, for jeff sessions to do any favors for donald trump in his testimony. jeff sessions may have always simply planned to tell the truth about that moment in the oval office, in which case nothing might have changed for him tonight about his crucial testimony about that moment when james

. >> i'm in the oval office of the president last week. we're talking about that. he says he brought that up. he said he doesn't have to be pardoned. there's nobody around him that has to be pardoned. he was just making the statement about the power of pardon. >> why is he tweeting about pardons? >> well, i think, unfortunately, he may have had a conversation in the oval office or somewhere about it, and then people rush out to leak that information to people. it's very unprofessional and very harmful. i think that the gist of that leak basically -- i mean, or that tweet, i should say, is that he is not going to pardon anybody. he just doesn't line the fact that he has a two-minute conversation in the oval office or in his study that people are running out and leaking that. >> president trump continues to suggest there is unfair scrutiny of him from special counsel robert mueller. even his own attorney general tweeting out on saturday. "so many people are asking why isn't the attorney general or special counsel looking at the many hillary clinton or comey crimes? 3

i was in the oval office with him earlier today and we were talking about letting him be himself, lettingim express his full identity. i think he has some of the best political instincts in the world and perhaps history. >> trevor: whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! back up, wait, i'm sorry. did this new guy just basically say that trump is not yet being himself? that's what he said? not yet? who watches donald trump and thinks to themselves, man, if only he could come out of his shell. ah, ah -- ( laughter ) now, for some people, scaramucci may seem a wise choice for white house communications director because besides every italian movie ever, he has no communications experience. what is it trump felt qualified scaramucci for the job? >> i love the president. i love the president. i'm very, very loyal to the president. he's the most competitive person i've ever met. i've seen this guy throw a dead spiral through the tire. i love the guy. seen him at madison square garden with a top coat, standing in the key, sinking foul shots. he sinks three-hole puts. >> trevor: did you notice they were all

>> i am sitting in the oval office with a pen in hand waiting for our senators to give it to me. >> what will happen if they don't? >> i don't even want to talk about it because i think it would be very bad -- i will be very angry about it. a lot of people will be very

>> or through the oval office.rily, you would say it is astonishing that a president and a white house would reach into this kind of muck to find an image to promote, except we've had the example that you cited a few minutes ago during the campaign of the anti-semitic imagery around hillary clinton that the candidate then retweeted and promoted. and also, frankly, we've had examples without retweeting others of the president using extraordinarily hateful speech himself on twitter in the last few days with mika brzezinski and joe scarborough. look, at this point anyone who is hoping for something different from this president, you know, is probably kind of waiting to meet their first unicorn. it's not going to happen. the question is really what does everyone else, in particular all of those congressional republicans who kind of give these pro forma reactions that they're distressed or dismayed by the president's latest kind of outrage or violation of norms and goes back to business as usual. will paul ryan, will mi

the oval office is a special place. president trump is coming to recognize that. today he had an event that demonstrated it with the medal of honor winner. >> very few people in this country can say they know what it's like to be in the oval office and telling the president something he needs to hear when he doesn't want to hear it. you are one of those people who can say that. andy card, thank you very much for letting all of your expertise to us here at msnbc today throughout the hour as i hope you get some time to rest now. >> thank you, katy. >> we've heard the same piece of advice from people close to trump whether it was trump the candidate, the nominee or the president, let him be himself. >> the thing that general kelly should do is not try to change donald trump. chuck, as you know, i said you have to let trump be trump. that is what has made him successful over the last 30 years. that is what the american people voted for. and anybody that thinks they're going to change donald trump doesn't know donald trump. >> the president himself is always going to b

i am sitting in the oval office with the pen in hand waiting for our senators to give it to me. i hope they do it.

. >> i'm sitting in the oval office with a pen in hand waiting for our senators to give it to me. for years they have been talking about repeal-replace. i think they passed it 61 times.

he came into the oval office and brought us in there. and he was in a very relaxed mood. he felt confident. he was in good spirits. he did not look like the weight of the world was on him despite the troubles he's had, and he was in a good mood. as soon as we brought up russia, of course, he had pretty pithy and striking things to say. >> not for the first time but so notably in the conversation you had with him, he seems to assign sinister motives. the most sinister to the people he encounters in his orbit. >> yeah, no, that's a very good point. what he suggested about james comey is really fascinating and goes far beyond what he has said previously. he said comey was not telling the truth about some of their encounters. he said that comey wasn't doing a good job at fbi director. today he basically said he was in effect you know, holding leverage over the president in the form of this dossier that had been compiled by the former british spy during last year's election. he said he thought comey brought it up with him, told him about it for the purpose of letting him know

i said hello to him in the oval office ceremony this morning for the swearing in on john kelly. expect because of this was precooked over the weekend, he knew when i shook hands with him in the oval office that he was on the way out. but he gave me no indication of it, shep. he seemed to be his typical self this morning. >> shepard: you know, john, it's interesting to me that the timing of everything. it was ten days ago today that sean spicer left and the rele e releareleas release, he wants to offered a clean slate. that was july 21. now it's july 31 and the mooch is loving to offer a clean slate. >> we got some very clean slates. i don't know if it's a typical black board that your tipper used to take. but we have a clean slate here twice in a row, shep. >> shepard: you could make the argument if you're this white house, we're going to make this turn now. i was thinking over the weekend, this was to be budget woke and we got this series of tweets from the president that altered the news environment and the news landscape and now this. seems to -- doesn't matter what they plan

>> do i plan to meet with him every day and do i have oval office privileges? listen, hiem not one of these people that need to have unnecessary face time with the president, okay, but i do have oval office privileges if that's what you're talking employ and i do have the opportunity to meet with him because i'm going to be his comes direct tore. and i want to make sure that i'm linked to him and sink oh patd with him in the way that he likes. but i don't want to waist his time and sit in the oval office unnecessarily. thank you. >> thank you. obviously i would have been happy for him to stay up here all day and continue to exhaust all of your questions, but one, i figure i probably should answer a couple today and also, the president has an eept here shortly, so i want to try to work through as many as i can. and with that i'm actually going to start with jess mason sinceible it is maybe your last day and my first. so with that, jeff, take it away. >> thank you, sarah. can you talk a little bit about how this will affect, this change will affect the press offi

lavrov, the russian foreign minister, was in the oval office.and then suddenly the russians released a photograph which the white house didn't really want to release. and i would be curious to know if tomorrow there will be dual releases, the u.s. will release a summary of what happened during the meeting and the russians will as well. i want to see who goes further. and if the russians go further, and further, and start laying out all the things that they supposedly agreed upon, will the u.s. push back? will president trump say, well, we didn't really do that, or will that become policy? will he get played? that's one of the things i want to see. there could be some very big statements there. and if this is not the policy that trump agrees to, he's going to have to go out and say no, putin lied. we will see. >> richard engel, nbc's chief attorn correspondent. we couldn't be more psyched about it, 9:00 eastern. richard, thank you for being here tonight. >> reporter: until tomorrow. >> we'll be right back. mom, i have to tell you something. dad,
