we have to ask paul ryan. mike allen, what is happening? it's fascinating donald trump and his lawyers have been saying he's going to talk, going to cooperate with the investigation and going to let mueller talk to him. and suddenly this weekend it's as if everybody on fox news and in right wing media and in republican circles were seized with this sense of panic that they suddenly realized that donald trump has been a liar is the only word that can be used for 40 years and that he just can't help himself. he lies all the time. and now they're worried about the perjury trap and everybody is running for the exits. saying oh, no, no, no he can't be interviewed. what is the current state? is he still moving towards being interviewed by mueller or is mueller going to have to subpoena him? >> he's not moving in that direction. joe, two pieces of reporting about that. one, when the president came out and after maybe he said, oh, i'm happy to talk to mueller, there was a freak out in the west wing. forgot the conservative media, specifically among

allen, with three ranking titles to his name, takes home just under $280,000. and now up to the priests on the piste. the alpine skiing championship clergyman took place, and they compete for thejohn pauln age. they compete on the 800 metre slalom course. the catholics are not the most aerodynamic outfits. i wonder if they can all call for divine intervention —— kazakhs. that's it from sport today. see you soon. goodbye. hello there. a very different feel to the weather over the next few days. the transition began during sunday, some northern and eastern areas stuck below freezing for the afternoon. down to the south—west, it was milder. skip ahead to tuesday, and all of us will be into that mild air, which is moving in our direction on this south—westerly wind, having more of an influence across the british isles as we go through the next couple of days. this monday morning starts off on a much milder note for most. still possibly some icy stretches across parts of north—east england and eastern scotland, but many places starting the day with significantly higher temperatures. one area of rain perilously close to parts of south—west england, along the south coast, as well. but that ra

great start for paul lambert who was an animated on the touchline, you will see it on match of the day, joe allenerformance but it was imported to keep a clean sheet against huddersfield who have conceded ten in their last three and huddersfield are in trouble, really worrying for them, no wins since the 16th of december in the league but it was all about paul lambert‘s great start. we will look at the table ina great start. we will look at the table in a moment but let's here from paul lambert first. i thought the performance from start to finish was outstanding. we've only been in since last tuesday, three days training, trying to get as much into them as you possibly can without overloading the brain but their effort and drive and commitment along with the support he was huge. i thought we looked really good. everton and west brom, 1—1, lots to talk about not least a nasty broken leg forjames mccarthy. this was horrendous and i think he will be out for a long time and the players are devastated on the pitch. salomon rondon was in tears. it was a challenge on salomon rondon which led to the inj

paul ryan and i think now the preside president. >> kim bert atkins, one of our friends around here and a veteran journalist. thanks so much for being with us. let's bring on jonathan allen, national political reporter. jonathan, what about the imagery of tonight? this was supposed to be a glittering evening in mar-a-lago. the president's departure time posted last night from today for the white house lawn was 4:10 p.m. that assumed this would all be done and dusted and he would have kind of a celebratory flight down to florida to celebrate the anniversary of his inauguration that was not to be. >> what's striking to me, brian, is we have a president who has been so good at telling us he was going to do things he's never seen before and he's fulfilled that promise and the senate was like, here, and all of this milling about, the set of senators that were um p huddled around lindsey graham as though he was moses bringing the tablets down to give law, i've never seen anything quite like that. you've got these conflicting interests but house republicans seemed to have a lot to lose here with a government shutdown. the president seems to have a lot to lose here with the gove

. >> allen, i think you give a lot of people hope or terror because the idea of president paul ryan meansurity and medicare. thank you very much. more a emjoi after the break. the day after chemo might mean a trip back to the doctor's office, just for a shot. but why go back there, when you can stay home with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection. neulasta helps reduce infection risk by boosting your white blood cell count, which strengthens your immune system. in a key study, neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%, a 94% decrease. applied the day of chemo, neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the next day. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to neulasta or neupogen (filgrastim). ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries, and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. in patients with sickle cell di

won his first masters title allen has followed in his footsteps after last night's marathon match which in the end lasted five hours and 1a minutes! he walks away with the paulprize money. devastating though for kyren wilson who was in tears afterwards, he is of course the first player born in the 1990s to appear in a triple crown. you could see what it meant to him. close to tears, we can understand. but you should hold ahead of really high. -- but you should hold ahead of really high. —— your head up. but you should hold ahead of really high. -- your head up. i've had an incredible week. i said to my manager and my coach, incredible week. i said to my managerand my coach, if incredible week. i said to my manager and my coach, if anybody was going to beat me, i would have loved it to have been mark. i am devastated. but he deserves it, he has been knocking on the door. incredible what two are doing for the sport. kyren said it was nice to go into pizza express and have people asking for his autograph. a lot of people tweeting about ths yesterday. strong selfie gain in football. there has been a lot of talk about this transfer, alexis sanchez. if ever we nee
