rex colour some —— rex tillerson... there is a lot to be discussed today. let's focus on nato.will be hoping to reassure his european colleagues of the trump administration's commitment to eu, the us defense secretaryjim mattis is on a similar mission in brussels. he's at a meeting of nato defence ministers in the city. our defence correspondent, jonathan marcus, is at nato headquarters in brussels. what are people in nato making of the new trump administration? donald trump said everything from nato is obsolete to hear is 100% behind them. it is a problem for nato leaders, facing many of the same problems at the g20 in talks in germany. which trump administration is it, which personality speaking to? general —— general mattis has had a barbed message, insisting that the allies must spend more and if they do not there is a veiled threat that the united states will moderate its commitment. i asked the secretary general a few minutes ago what it meant and he did not want to answer, instead saying we should focus on the allies spending more. it isa focus on the allies spending mor

for rex tillerson, he inherits a lot. he inherits a crisis, at the moment, with australia and the iran situation. that doesn't bring up russia, china, north korea and syria. a lot on his plate to deal with. >> are they giving rex tillerson an unfair hand? to take the podium yesterday, that missile was launched on sunday. many say reason to say something. did he need to say it yesterday and make tillerson's first day on the job that much more complicated? >> whether they needed to or not, it was planned. they knew what they were doing when it came to that. it wasn't like the immigration ban or the travel ban. >> i have to interrupt you. president trump shook hands with mark burnett and is taking the podium. he's smiling. he's been waiting an hour. here he is. [ applause ] >> thank you very much. thank you. [ applause ] >> thank you very much. it's a great honor to be here this morning. so many faith leaders, very, very important people to me from across our magnificent nation. so many leaders from all across the globe. tod

but rex tillerson, going to try to calm those tensions.ith a head of homeland security, responsible for the border and they are going to be meeting government ministers and the idea is to try to set up channels of communication, holding talks and then repeat. the system when you would have recurring visits, to try to manage the relationship. both of these men, sober, calm men. that discussion can commence. but i am not sure exactly what that means. the mexicans have said who do we listen to? the white house, or the reassurance from the cabinet officials? nobody clear. rex tillerson has not been in this position for long but he had his inaugural trip to germany. what was the mood that you got from that event? it was interesting. it was almost like meet and greet on speed. he had meetings with 14 different foreign ministers, it was an official way to get to know a lot of people quickly without having to do a lot of trouble. he tried to throw some balance into the uncertainty, taking a tougher line on russia and repeated boiler plate reassura

rex tillerson and the mexican foreign minister are expected to speak at any moment.xpected about an hour ago but evidently their meeting before the press conference ran a little long. read into that what you will. this all comes after president trump's crackdown on illegal immigration. mexico's foreign minister slammed the white house plan. others say the problems started a long time before the trump administration. >> donald trump did inherit a mess when it comes to immigration. i was one of the people who raised my hand earlier that i am disgusted with how this presidency is going, but i was disgusted with how president obama's presidency went on this topic as well. he betrayed us. he betrayed us to the tune of 2.8 million deportations. immigrants have already been betrayed by one presidency. and what donald trump did today by offering daca kids today was a good thing, a very good thing. i applaud him for it. >> leland: that was pablo manriquez, former dnc official speaking at the first 100 days town hall with martha maccallum earlier this week. also with us, all b

they are awaiting rex tillerson. there's no shortage of issues to face this morning as president trump makes headlines for his comments on iran and his talks with foreign leaders and foreign allies. tillerson was sworn in just last night, a few hours after the senate voted to confirm him 56-43 in favor. as the nation's top diplomat, rex tillerson will be charged with carrying out donald trump's approach to foreign policy. with me again david swerdlick "washington post" assistant editor, david lauder from the los angeles times and retired air force lieutenant rick francona. david swerdlick, i will start with you. donald trump was very complementary of rex tillerson at this national prayer breakfast meeting. he said it's a good thing he gets along with all the foreign leaders. that seems at odds with what's happened with mr. trump and foreign leaders over the past four days. how do you suppose that might play out? >> here is the rub, carol, last night in his remarks at secretary tillerson's swearing in, president trump

will they see rex tillerson... big decisions —— will they see rex tillerson. .. ?edly does. secondly, they will see him as someone who is intrinsically sympathetic to them and has believed a lot of their contentions in ukraine and so on. he is changeable. until he really settles into a proper chain of authority within the white house and beyond, and until he comes to some sort of thought through set of policies about russia, i do not think they will be impressed. interesting to torture you. thank you for coming in. sir andrew wood, former ambassador to moscow. some views andrew wood, former ambassador to moscow. some views on andrew wood, former ambassador to moscow. some views on the dynamics of the 620 summit today. we still expect president ron to appear at the news conference in the white house. —— president trump. the malaysian authorities have confirmed that the man who died after being poisoned at kuala lumpur airport — is the half—brother of the north korean leader, kim jong—un. three people, two women and a man, are now in custody in connection with his de

rex tillerson is the new us secretary of state. we will take you to the trump heartland of tennessee, to the trump heartland of tennessee, to find out how the people voted for him feel about their new president. so many of us are looking for trump to do exactly what he has been doing so to do exactly what he has been doing so far, to completely change the landscape, blow up washington, figuratively, and give us a new american revolution. in london, it has been a landmark day for the brexit process. the ayes to the right, 498, the noes to the left, 114. so the ayes have it, the ayes have it. mps m ps vote mps vote overwhelmingly in favour of giving theresa may the power to begin the formal process of leaving the european union. and don't forget, if you have any questions, get in touch through the hashtag #bbcos and we will try to and them for you the next hour. in the last hour, the united states senate has voted to confirm rex tillerson. it means that the former exxon mobil ceo can now be officially sworn in. let's go straight to b

waiting for rex tillerson in mexico city.rvative conference here in washington that soon, next hour, will feature prince priebus, the white house chief of staff and steve bannon, the senior adviser with whom he's often at odds, they say that's not the case. >>> welcome back. we're keeping an eye on the room in mexico city there. the secretary of state rex tillerson meet with the foreign minister. all of that about controversial trump administration new immigration policies. we'll take you to mexico city when the foreign minister and secretary of state come out to speak to reporters. >>> back in washington, reince priebus and steve bannon want you to see there's nothing to see. priebus is the white house chief of staff. and steve bannon is a trump adviser. the first month of the trump administration has featured almost daily accounts of friction between the two. accounts that priebus blames bannon for the rocky roll-out of the trump travel ban. and for pushing too many old guard establishment figures through jobs. they've call

so rex tillerson will presumably talk about mr. trump's foreign policy and how exactly that foreign policy will be carried out. let's listen to secretary of state rex tillerson. >> well, good morning, all. we apologize for being late. it seemed that this year's prayer breakfast, people felt the need to pray a little longer. [ laughter ] but i certainly welcome you all. thank you for such a warm reception. it's a pleasure to be here, obviously. i've been anxious to be here. i'm so pleased to have my wife brenda of more than 30 years, she has been steadfast through this process, encouraging me on and reminding me what this is really all about. and so thank you. [ applause ] i also want to thank acting secretary tom shannon, who has just been superb through this entire process. tom, thank you so much.

so rex tillerson has got a delicate job to do. met with him yesterday at some time and i sort of joked that i think one of his virtues is he didn't seek this job, he doesn't need this job. but the joke is, after what's happened in the last week, i'm not sure he necessarily wants it. but he's there and has taken on this responsibility. my hope is he'll be a mature, thoughtful voice that will help to broaden the discussion within the white house because this is, as i say, the steps that are taken have huge consequences. >> and general mattis, the defense secretary, is a mature, forceful voice. >>> up next, i'll speak live with senate judiciary committee member john kennedy. we'll talk with him right after the break. on intel? that ride share? you actually rode here on the cloud. did not feel like a cloud... that driverless car? i have seen it all. intel's driving...the future! traffic lights, street lamps. business runs on the cloud... and the cloud runs on intel. ♪ i wonder what the other 2% runs on...(car horn) won't replace the f

to presuppose what rex tillerson will do. we're being asked what they will do when they get into office and the democrats won't let them assume this. we all know the votes are there for them. i understand that. again, for me to presuppose what secretary tillerson is going to do prior to him actually getting sworn in, he probably will. i don't know. but it would be irresponsible for me to answer a question about what he's going to do before he becomes sworn in. >> senate democrats have been described as bitter over the manner in which judge garland was treated when he was nominated for the supreme court. do you feel that the president feels that bitterness is well founded? >> i don't know. i'm not a senate democrat. i think they have a right to feel the way they do. we've explained our position both during last year when this was going on. we felt as though this was up to the voters to make a decision on it. as i pointed out yesterday, so many voters made up their mind based on who they believe the candidates were to appoint m

and everything that rex tillerson is going to be dealing with on day one. whats going to be his number one priority, if he were to rank iran, mexico, australia, as issues he's got to shuffle through and deal with now? >> i'd put them in two baskets, ali. one is the immediate crises of the day, that would be mending the fence with australia. as all of your correspondents have pointed out, they're terrific allies. i visited with their forces many times. that's a fence that i think that needs to be mended. the big one is mexico and the tone of that conversation, the reporting is all over the place. if it's remotely as bad as reported and there was talk of american trips going south, who knows what was actually said. but i think those are two immediate ones. and that's our allies. so on the opponent side, i think iran is the top of the list given this ballistic missile trajectory and lurking in the background is north korea. those are things he'll want to address on day one. >> and clearly tehran isn't backing down off of this. when you put iran on notice, is t

they are encouraging their president not to meet with rex tillerson and john kelly today? do you have reporting you had formerly advised this president about whether this meeting is going to take place? >> their desire is to have a productive conversation based off of items that they can all agree to beforehand instead this surprise diplomacy that the administration has been engaged in. they release these memos and then they send their emissaries to try to bring them into the fold after the fact. so what they are saying within the president's office is that they would want to be engaged. but they do need to have the ability to have conversations ahead of time, not be surprised and blind sided by some of the action is that the administration has been carrying out in a last couple of days. apparently this is the way they operate. >> let's talk leverage a little bit. who has the upper hand here? donald trump of course considers himself a master negotiator, obviously. he basically said to president nieto don't even come here unless you are going to talk to me about how we are

and rex tillerson has been very clear about that. to act as a spear carrier or cheerleader for president trump? there's always been a very strong relationship between the uk and the us. as i've said, it's one of the great geopolitical fa cts . it's one of the great geopolitical facts. it's an advantage for the world that there is a strong transatlantic bond. that's notjust incarnated, by the way, by the uk. there are plenty of bilateral relations between the us and everybody else in europe. it so happens we are having to put across our point of view and find a ready audience. and what is so reassuring and encouraging about the conversations we've had today, not just with rex tillerson but with others, it's a growing consensus about the way forward. the prime minister of new zealand is in christchurch to monitor the efforts to fight a huge wildfire which has led to the evacuation of hundreds of homes. two separate fires which began in hills to the south of the city on monday have combined, to cover a total of nearly 5,000 acres. the c

rex tillerson is speaking now. i want to take you there. >> the interest and values of america and her allies. as we search for new common ground, we expect russia to honor the commitment and work to de-escalate the violence in ukraine. thank you very much. >> that, of course, was secretary of state, rex tillerson. i want to talk about another corporate guy, steve fienburg. president trump is saying i want to clean house, i want to clean this up. steve fienburg is a big republican donor. he gave over $1 million to the campaign. he served quail and john snow and knows steven bannon. this is a true outsider. help me understand, when he sits down with the intelligence agencies, this is a different language. he doesn't have government. he doesn't have military. he doesn't have intelligence experience. >> i consult for dine corp. when i'm not here. i know steve fienburg. it sets up a relationship and the intelligence community is feeling under assault and under siege. again, what i think donald trump is doing, what the

i think rex tillerson will be a great secretary of state. people who don't know him or haven't followed him very closely will be pleasantly surprised. this is a very capable man, a good model for secretary of state. i don't know what their policy is going to be with russia. i'm a russia hawk. i think the sanctions should have been done a while ago. >> reporter: do you think a lot of this stuff, you talk about the rollout, this came throuif through congress, would this have been a more smooth process? >> are you talking about the executive order? >> reporter: yes. >> yes, i think they could have done a better job. they don't even have a full cabinet in place yet. it's important to get their cabinet up and running so these interagency reviews could be done well. and i think going forward, they're going to do a better job of these things. >> reporter: donald trump said this morning he's going to renege on a deal with australia, that's the first time we've heard from the president directly on this. is this problematic that this is the way diplom
