sarah: i am sarah kelly. that you are joining us. theresa may has faced questions in parliament over her decision to authorize this past weekend airstrikes in syria. they bombed three alleged chemical weapons sites in syria following a suspected poison gas attack in the town of duma. opposition mps said that she may have -- should have consulted them before carrying out the bombing. labor party leaders have suggested the strikes may have been illegal. both syria and its ally russia have denied carrying out the alleged chemical attack on april 7. it is believed to have left dozens dead. theresa may says that is contradicted by the intelligence she has seen and she defended her government's decision to take part in the strikes. >> this was not about intervening in a civil war and it was not about regime change. it was about a limited, targeted and effective strike that saw to alleviate the humanitarian suffering of the syrian people by degrading the syrian regime's chemical weapons capability and deterring their use. we have published

. >> so does it appear as if kelly ann conway and some of the other former administration officials and current sarahders went there to make those faces and not laugh? or was this really morri more r- risque? i think they wanted to do that as a profit and he is tired of elite's mocking up so a criticism from that family. you saw other crump allies expressing disappointment in the perform answer saying michelle wolf went too far. peter baker of "the new york times" saying, quote, unfortunately, i don't think we advanced the cause of journalism tonight. our colleague said he agreed with baker there was an embarrassment to the room that we should have the focus on journalism and not on comedy at the white house correspondents dinner. this is a tension that exists every year and exacerbated this year because i think our politics are poisonus because arguments on both sides that are so intense and michelle wolf was going right at that addressing the media's coverage of trump and the lies and deceit that comes out of the white house. i know some comedians did up for her after the performance and said you h

nikki haley does not appear of sarah huckabee sanders or kelly anne conway. not sign on, nor does she need to be a human shield. she's a woman with real credibility. she doesn't need this nonsense -- >> one of the more disciplined actors in the trump administration -- >> this is not the first time she's been caught wrong-footed where she's gone out and said something and the white house contradicted her. heaven help us, she's probably getting used to this, but this is an especially egregious example. >> indeed it is. coming up, a damning new report. guess who it's about, epa chief scott pruitt. this report says he violated the law with his $43,000 sound proof phone booth. i don't think that's the one superman used. but this morning, he still has his job. why is it this guy is so untouchable? and next, money, power, politics. we see two travelers so at a comfort innal with a glow around them, so people watching will be like, "wow, maybe i'll glow too if i book direct at choicehotels.com". who glows? just say, badda book. badda boom. book now at choicehotels.co

because obviously john kelly will be asked about this, or sarah huckabee sanders will be asked about is. john kelly is on the record, the nation knows he's a liar. he lied about congressman frederica wilson. john kelly told comey that he would resign over this. >> that's right. he told comey that he wanted to quit his sknljob as the homelan security secretary because he couldn't handle working for people -- comey described kelly describing them as being dishonest people. and kelly told comey he wanted to resign over that. comey convinced kelly to stay in the job, according to comey's account. kelly did stay in the job and two months later, he was appointed white house chief of staff. >> just important to know that. i expect john kelly will deny it. i think it's important to remind the nation that john kelly has lied on the record. >> one other thing that's important to point out, this whole memoir, the accounts of his interaction with trump, it's all based on contemporaneous notes that comey took as the fbi director. after every call, after every meeting, he would write a diary entry,

this is women, right, that is upset with kelly anne conway, with sarah sanders comparing her to the character she's character out this leader's agenda and she's the enforcer. she's going against what is -- that's a brilliant joke. as a comedian, that's a brilliant comparison. >> i'll pick up on what you're saying. you have a comedian, a woman, who's taking a slight at -- whatever, what do you make of that that there isn't more of a conversation about what ivanka trump has or has not done for women. >> well, look, i think again it goes back to this president has put in in more senior positions more than any prior administration, including president obama. i wrote about this for "the hill" a few months bag. people went crazy, but it's true. it's been fact checked. democrats can't believe that a woman can actually be a republican and have conservative values. you might they he -- i think it goes back to the kanye west, we all don't have to think the same way. i would have advised the president should have been there. >> he's a coward. he cannot take criticism. >> again, name-calling, i'm not the

kelly and the white house are responding this evening. jus at th juxtapose your reporting from this very forceful reaction now coming out from sarah huckabee sanders on behalf of john kelly calling this total bs. this is not something we have not seen before when there have been reports about tensions between the president and some of his inner personnel. i think immediately of former national security advisor, h.r. mcmaster. >> well, look, we have been working on this story for quite some time. we approached the white house about this and they were well aware of what this story said. we asked to speak with the chief of staff and we asked for a statement and a reaction and to talk to us about the different elements in this story. the white house chose not to issue a statement from john kelly to us. the spokespeople that i spoke with for this story said as far as they know, they don't think he called the president an idiot, that that's not necessarily language he uses. but before this story was published, they had ample opportunity to say what john kelly decided to say in a statement after it published. >> e.j., let me get your reaction to

back and forth, we were getting differing news reports and we were bumping into john kelly as he was going from sarahrs office to his office. he was also giving that account, that within 90 minutes of finding out about those allegations that rob porter was gone and he demanded his resignation, and he's sticking to that. so there ee's a lot of he said/ said around the white house. a lot of staffers said they couldn't trust john kelly after that moment. >> the white house pushing back on this reporting, which is why carol lee and her colleagues have eight sources, attesting to everything we have covered in it. but speak to -- you're a member of congress, you were the principal, speak to how as a principal you would deal with allegations of domestic violence, particularly being part of the past of that individual. >> john kelly and donald trump mishandled this, but it looks like john kelly was at the center of how this was mishandled. and this is the conflict for a lot of observers of john kelly who have known him throughout the years, i have had a lot of opportunity throughout my staff years to know jo

. >> white house press second sarah sanders said that president trump was breached by john kelly, ands receiving updates as mr.information becomes available. he ordered a military air strike in syria almost exactly one year ago. the president's homeland security advisor is questioning the timing of the latest attack and also says all options are on the table. >> these are horrible photos. we're looking into the attack at this point. the state department put out a statement last night, and the president's senior national security cabinet have been talking with him and each other throughout this evening and this morning, and myself included. >> reporter: military responses aren't off the table in regards to the latest attack. >> the president's point has been very clear. the pendulum has swung in the wrong direction for too long, and the united states of america has been taken advantage of if their responsibility to provide security for the entire world. we need regional partnerships increased and u.s. presence decreased. >> reporter: president trump warned of a big price to pay, writin

the response from the white house, we now have this, this is from sarah huckabee sanders passing along this statement about john kelly. these are john kelly's words, i spend more time with mr. kelly than anyone else and we have a very candid relationship. he and i both know this story is b.s., this is another pathetic attempt to smear someone close to president trump. that is a statement being given to us from the white house by the chief of jaf jostaff john ko this reporting. jonathan la mere, seeing this response from john kelly, the chief of staff saying, still, there's no distance between me and the president, is that likely what's going on behind the scenes there? >> it's an aggressive push back, no doubt about it. but you remember that kelly also went to bat for h.r. mcmaster, about a week before he was dismissed. that doesn't mean that john kelly is going to be chief of staff for a long time. but there is a divide between the chief of staff and the president. we have reported, other outlets have reported similar stories that he's lost a lot of influence with the president in recent months, trump is tired of be

including advisor kelly anne conway who looked less than impressed, and the white house press secretary sarahance. and i'm never really sure what to call sarah huckabee sanders, you know? is it sarah sanders, is it sarah huckabee sanders, is it cousin huckabee, is it auntie huckabee sanders? like, what's uncle tom but for white women who disappoint other white women? it was uncomfortable and that was the intention. michelle wolf's jokes were designed to divide opinion. and they have probably made it less likely that the president will struggle to decide whether to attend next year. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. stay with us on bbc world news, still to come... we meet a thirteen year old boy who's just become one of the world's youngest professional gamers. this is bbc world news today. i'm tanya beckett. the latest headlines: the new us secretary of state, mike pompeo has expressed "deep concern" at what he called iran's ambition to dominate the middle east. south korea says kimjong—un has promised to invite the world to witness north korea closing its nuclear test site next month. aus

sarah. you're killing it. dr. scholl's. born to move. kelly: the u.n.uncil today holding an emergency session over those military strikes on syria. in response to a chemical attack. u.s. ambassador to the u.n., nikki haley saying president trump has drawn a red line and enforced it. >> our message was crystal clear. the united states of america will not allow the assad regime to continue to use chemical weapons. kelly: laura ingall is live at the united nations. laura today's emergency meeting was called by the russians. what was their goal? >> hi, kelly. well, russia proposed resolution that would have condemned the military actions of the u.s., britain and france. now it didn't get those votes needed to pass that resolution. however, it still gave the russian ambassador the floor to lay out the country's complaints about what happened in syria overnight. now, while the resolution if passed would have largely been symbolic, it also would have helped bolster the russian claims that there was not enough proof that a chemical attack had taken place that w

every time we're told john kelly's going to lock down on this or sarah huckabee sanders is going to be the final message. whether we talk about china, the environment, russia, we always get conflicting messages out of this white house. it makes it hard for civil servants to do their job if they don't know the real message. >> let me ask you about the piece in the "washington post," about john kelg ly's position i general. the president tweeting about that "washington post" piece. "the washington post" is far more fiction than fact. story after story is made-up garbage, more like a poorly written novel than good reporting. i'm going to quibble that just reading one line from that piece. john kelly is the latest high-profile example of a west wing ikarus only to be singed and cast. >> the interest isn't that job kelly flew too close to the sun. that is not the issue. the issue is that donald trump in this unfolding, evolving management of the white house that he is engaged in, doesn't want a conventional chief of staff. so that is the issue. it is not really so much of john kelly is in o

sarah huckabee sanders and kellyanne conway. >> if a tree falls in the woods. how do we get kelly under that tree. not suggesting she gets hurt. just stuck. howie: joining me, a past president of the white house correspondents association. she was dropping live f-bombs. ed: she was joking about abortion. i understand it's a tough job. you are up there, you pick the comedian, and there is a first amendment in this country whether you like it or not. however, i think it's long past time for the association to put out a simple one statement sentence saying we do not agree with this. these personal vile attacks on sarah huckabee sanders who is a good person. if hillary clinton had been elected and jennifer palmieri had been up there, it's ridiculous. the association should apologize period stop. howie: you know who else agrees with you is andrea you mitchell. she said sarah huckabee sanders was personally insulted. ed: by the way, i'm hearing this on social media. i'm not letting the president off the hook. when the president said the press is the enemy of the american people months ago that was not r

trump tweeted it out without any vetting over john kelly's objections and almost no one in senior staff that that was a good idea. >> bret: sarah's point is that he had been vetted for his job as physician to the president. very closely. the fbi checks and all that stuff. >> doctor to the president is quite different from running the second largest agency and the federal government. he has no management experience that would be relevant for that job. that's their concern. i think this is all new information for them and they are absorbing it. they don't know what to make of it. for the moment, they are on a flat foot. >> bret: two different sides. one is that the white house puts someone out that perhaps, with the allegations back there and they know about its end and it comes out. the other side's democrats in the minority put out the press these allegations that publicly say they don't know are true. the minority saying multiple individuals citing the nickname candyman used by the white house staff because he would provide whatever prescriptions they sought without paperwork. describing handing out ambien to sleep. without tria

. >> white house press secretary sarah sanders says president trump was briefed about the attack yesterday evening by his chief of staff, john kelly. they say he continues to receive updates as more information becomes available. president trump boarded a military strike in syria in response to attack exactly one year ago. that targeted an airbase belonging to the syrian government. they are questioning the timing of the latest attack and they also say as far as the latest attack, all options are on the table. >> i would note the timing of this.the first thing that struck me is that this is the one year anniversary of our actions the last time they made the mistake of using these weapons and pushing the rest of the world. >> you think it is possible there will be another one? xo not take anything off the table. these are horrible photos. when looking into this. >> early this week the president that it was time for the us troops to leave syria. they say that still stands even a military response is not of the table regresses latest attack. >> i think the president has a point that is clear. the pendulum has swung in the wrong direc

kelly. sources say his authority has been diminished and he has talked about quitting. the white house says it's made up coverage and a hit job. mollie hemingway, sarah westwood and capri cafaro join us. this article quotes a senior official. don't these high-level leaks undercut the president's abirt - ability to say this all garbage. mollie: the standard in journalism is 100% of what you write has to be true. it's okay to use them but there is overuse by many in the media. howie: the article says the president still respects general kelly. so are journalists right in being sceptical? >> i think so. this is something that has been coming up time and time again. on one hand president trump said everything is all quite on the western front and -- all quiet on the western front and two days later people get fired. this has been common practice that people talk on the case of anonymity. it's been overused. because trump has put a light on this, people have become more sceptical of anonymous sources. howie: a lot of speculation about the fate of epa chief scott pru it. he had an interview with ed henry that did not go well that started with his rent be a

the attacks came in defense of sarah huckabee sanders, something you are unwilling to do for people like elizabeth warren and rosy o'donnell. and people like megyn kelly wish the president hadn't said that m.that. welcome to the snow flake club. how does it feel? >> i don't know what to say. when you don't have an argument you go to personal attacks. >> instead of talking about the facts. you are being on tv, being a hypocrit because you have the same outrage as you do for a one night comedian. i thought both were awful. i can't stand either. i don't like the roasts. >> do you think the correspondents association should have apologized to sarah huckabee sanders? >> i think that dinner -- >> you can't take that kind of humor you shouldn't hire a comedian or tell her to stick to making jokes about steel tariffs. >> on that note, thank you very much for the debate. obviously it will continue all morning long. >>> twin bombings rocked afghanistan's capital. there are many dead including some journalists when came to cover a first explosion right before a second suicide bomber detonated. late breaking details next. >>> time for the five things to know for

. >> i like sarah and she burns fat and then uses that ash to create a perfect smokey eye. if a tree falls in the woods. how do we get kellyhe tree. she thinks that abortion is murder. first of all, don't knock it until you try it. and if you try it, really knock it. you got to get that baby out of there. and ranchy jokes about the president's sex life and tampon and f- bombs carried live on cable. bloomberg who headed the organization saying in a statement unfortunately wolf's monologue did not support the free press. it was a fiasco that was a political gift for president president. >> they don't have sources. the sources don't exist in many cases and i could be up there tonight and smiling leak i love where they are hitting you shot after shot. they hate your guts. >> reporter: it has been under fireplace since it was a celebrity studded affair seen more about movie stars than celebrating journalist. don imusgenerated controversy. and this time the format is in doubt. trump supporters are not bothed by the personal attacks or making it for the jokes. but it is it a black eye for the press corps. >> bret: could tripling
