it was the regime itself that posed the threat to international peace and security saddam hussein had used chemical weapons against the iranians in the 1980s. the kurds and repressing there. he have a demonstrated capability and inclination to acquire weapons of mass destruction and there was no doubt that once freed up inspections and sanctions he would have returned to that. he kept together as nuclear scientists and technicians. these were the people in number who have the intellectual capability to re-create the nuclear weapons program so the elimination of that regime i think was critical for our peace and security. i have no doubt that making sure the regime was changed was the right thing to do. now, coming to the second question how had we done since then the answer is not all that well. we are not in a happy position in iraq today. i think we've learned from that for your type in hindsight we would've been a lot better off to turn responsibility for managing iraq back over to them much more quickly. today we have a strategic interests in iraq and making sure that no part of t

new york times' mohamed bin saddam on insisted the deal with only delay not prevent iran from acquiring nuclear weapons the two thousand and fifteen agreement saw international sanctions on iran lifted in exchange for the curbing of its nuclear development program joel rubin is the president of the washington strategy group and the former deputy assistant secretary of states he says the crown prince is stepping into a politically divisive debate in the u.s. . these are significant comments but it's really ill advised for him to be wading into the middle of a partisan fight right now and that's really how it's shaping up in washington over the iran nuclear deal democrats very much want this deal to continue and many republicans as well in congress have not voted to have this deal and they wanted to be implemented well and they want the oversight they want the inspections they have concerns about other issues as democrats do as well but they want to keep this in place so for him to insert himself right now at this time it doesn't look good for for him with democrats and it really does put a bull's eye in a sense on the pack of saudi arabia as an instigator of

on this international say thousands of civilians have been killed as a result of the war in yemen which was announced launched and is being led by specifically the crown prince mohamed bin saddam and it is the british weapons that are being used by the saudi air force that has turned yemen into the worst humanitarian crisis today according to the united nations and that's why the head of the labor party jeremy or ben had demanded from to resume to use this opportunity this visit of the crown prince to announce a halt in weapons sales saudi arabia but tourism a has decided to do the exact opposite and sign this memorandum of understanding to sell even more weapons and the reason for that so i mean according to analysts obviously is that may find herself presiding over an economy that is in the west has been for many years and she's struggling to inject confidence in u.k. markets because of her inability to find a deal post brackets and to convince investors and to convince the the population of how opposed burke that britain would look like and therefore her critics are accusing her of selling out on the principles of freedom and democracy and essentially the ideals that britai

saddam hussein when they gave up their weapons of mass destruction. they both lost their regimes and lives. i think the goal of the north koreans here is to legitimize themselves, to become more normal in international community, to keep their nuclear weapons, and maybe they'll agree to limits and verification and international insight into the fact that they have nuclear weapons and where they're stored. i don't think it makes any rational sense for the north koreans to give up those weapons, and that's why if you start at the summit level with president trump and kim jong-un, there's nowhere else to go. if you fail there, then you're left with nothing, and that may drive you back, the whole situation, to the use of military force. so, this is a big gamble by the president. >> all right. ambassador nicholas burns, thank you so much. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> we really appreciate you being here. we need to get aibrebreak, but andrea, extraordinary color yesterday about how this meeting came together and how haphazard it really was. >> "the new york times" has a lot of these details. the fact that the president was not supposed to meet the south korean delegation, the foreign minister,
