is there anotherjoe schmidt out there? probably not.as strong as it is now. the six nations grand slam champions were named team of the year. jonathan sexton the player of the year. joe schmidt's ireland finished their autumn series unbeaten with the number one coach in charge until the end of the world cup. 2019 is the potential —— has the potential to be even better. they had a team to beat at the moment. ireland won all four of their november tests as did wales for the first time. looking back at 2018, here's our rugby union correspondent chris jones and ugo monye who were at last this season of international rugby union ended in monaco at the world rugby awards. no surprise, the ireland suite the boards. they are ina great ireland suite the boards. they are in a great place. they are the team of 2018. they had the team everyone wants to chase. we see the gap between the southern and northern and this —— hemisphere really show. the people in the stands, .--it .—— it has been a . —— it has been a wonderful year for them. theyjust . ——

he'll be the new ireland rugby union boss whenjoe schmidt steps down next year. welcome to sportsday. joe root‘s paid tribute to a ‘complete squad effort‘ after his england side made history in sri lanka. they won everything on tour — the one day series, a t20, and a whitewash in the three match test series. . .the first time they've done that in sri lanka. here's our sports correspondent andy swiss. let's start with the premier league. just one match tonight as burnley hosted newcastle. two sides struggling to get their season's going, but it was a cracker at turf moor. joe lynskey was watching. sometimes football has to pause for more important matters. before this match started, the referee's assessor eddie wilson home collapsed in the tunnel. he was conscious when he was taken to hospital, and kick—off was put back by half an hour. in the context of the season, it has been a slow start for burnley and newcastle, but the signs in black and white are that the two and have found momentum. this was the kind of start you would expect from a team chasing a third st

>> mike schmidt, it's a great point about roger stone. you can almost hear donald trump's -- if roger stone is to be indicted as a lot of people suspect he may be, you can almost hear the white house response, well, he was hardly involved. we hardly knew him. but you've reported that mueller has questions for the president about wikileaks. one of the questions that mueller has as they've shared with his lawyers is for the president, what did you know about communications between roger stone, his associates, julian asank sange or wikileaks. this goes straight to their questions about what the president knew about this effort, this russian effort to help the trump campaign. >> that's the big question that hangs over this that we don't have an answer to. what did the president know about this? did he have any advanced knowledge from stone, from anyone nels the campaign about what was to come? and there's these major questions that still hang over the investigation. that being one of them that, you know, mueller is still looking at. how much

still with us here tonight is steve schmidt.ve, when they write the book on this period, let's say just these last two years, is it going to be written that trump is fortunate to have had a period where the leadership and the republican senate and republican house has been so unencumbered by principles or idealogy or a sense of stewardship over the country that they have allowed trump to just completely take control of that party? >> well, brian, we tend to look in campaigns and say the outcome is determined by the last event that occurs that has meaning. so tonight we saw the president with rush limbaugh, as if that will influence the outcome as opposed to focusing on the first thing that happened. the first thing that happened in this election is this. when donald trump was nau inaugurated, there was trump. lock, stock and barrel, all of them, from lindsey graham on down, there is exactly one elected republican left in the country that has been faithful to his previous principles. that's john kasich. so that decision to surren

schmidt's taken the team up to second in the world rankings, and they're one of the favourites for the all blacks just over a week ago. farrell has been ireland's defence coach under schmidt since april 2016, after holding the same position with england up until the 2015 world cup. it'll be his first head coach role, taking overfrom the new zealander who's accomplished plenty with ireland. the uk championship, one of snooker‘s big three events, gets underway on tuesday in the northern english city of york. the sport has seen a boom in the asian market over the last decade with the likes of ding junhui leading the way, but world numberfivejudd trump has told the bbc it's not overly concerning that only players from asia seem to be breaking through. i think it would be nice to sort of have the uk competing with asia on a younger level. i think china in particular has completely taken over with the talent. i think there's maybe 20 or 30 of them coming through now compared to not even one from the uk from what i can think of. i think it would be good for the game if it can obviously be mor

schmidt: i think that is providentially true. the country has produced the right leaders at the right moments. truman to abraham lincoln, dwight eisenhower was a kernel in the army in 1940. elected, theyas said the country is doomed. killed, sherman was asked to reflect on them. he said he'd met all the great men of the world, he met never met a person who possessed more than qualities of greatness and and in this land of 330 million people, there are leaders that possess the qualities of greatness and goodness. one of the things i think about, this gift of optimism that the governor has, to remember this. when we think about what is wrong in a country, you think about the las vegas shooting. there was a 33-year-old african-american named johnny smith. running toward a group of kids, johnny smith was shot twice in the neck and it was a white cop that ran into the gunfire to save johnny smith's life. you may not see it on the cable programs, but that is also america.

mike schmidt, phillip rucker, kimberly atkins, frank figliuzzi.hael, we have been quoting a piece of reporting you did earlier this year that has come roaring back and become so important, and that was when mr. dowd, the long-time washington lawyer, worked for donald trump, the notion that he was mentioning, dangling, giving the briefest credence to perhaps a commutation or a pardon to people. remind us what you reported then, why it's so important right now. >> there were discussions many, many months ago, last year, between dowd and lawyers for mike flynn and paul manafort. mike flynn being the former national security adviser who pled guilty to making false statements in this investigation. and obviously manafort. and that is something that mueller has been looking at himself. mueller was looking at the question of why is it that the lawyer was offering a pardon? why was he discussing a pardon? it was among the 49 questions that mueller wanted to ask the president, that had fallen to the obstruction bucket. that was not in the responses the pre

one of the coauthors, michael schmidt, is standing by to join us. the times is reporting on a newly revealed e-mail exchange between stone and campaign head steve bannon that, quote, underscores how mr. stone presented himself to trump campaign officials: as a conduit of inside information from wikileaks, russia's chosen repository for documents hacked from democratic computers. mr. bannon and two other former senior campaign officials have detailed to prosecutors for special counsel robert mueller how mr. stone created that impression, according to people familiar with their accounts. one of them told investigators that mr. stone not only seemed to predict wikileaks' actions, but that he also took credit afterward for the timing of its disclosures that damaged hillary clinton's candidacy. according to the times, after roger stone tweeted about predictions of an october surprise from wikileaks founder julian assange, a reporter from breitbart e-mailed him, quote, assange, what's he got? hope it's good. stone writes back, it is. i'd tell bannon, but

mike schmidt, let's start with you. take us through what you and your colleagues are reporting about the president working on his answers to questions from robert mueller. >> yeah, so what was the president's outburst really about? and we're still trying to figure that out here. but what's going on is they are trying to finish the answers to the questions. we're nearly a year into the negotiations between mueller's office and the president's lawyers. and we still haven't come to some determination on information going from trump to the investigators. and we thought we would have that this week. we thought that the president would send his stuff in writing. remember, the president's lawyers very concerned that if he actually sat down with mueller that he would say something that was not accurate and he would increase his criminal exposure. so the answers were supposed to go this week. it doesn't look like they're going to go. why is it that the president is so upset? is he simply upset because there are questions in ther

let me pull mike schmidt into this. is this consistent with what you and your colleagues are reporting about the management of the special counsel investigation? and it's my understanding that a lot of these things have been in motion for months. many, many months and weeks, even before matt whitaker assumed his new role. >> the way that it works is the deputy attorney general oversees, you know, all major investigations. everything sort of goes through that office. the difference before under jeff sessions was that there was not someone above rod rosenstein because jeff sessions was recused. in this case, whit skaker is no recused, at least not yet but the same structure exists. rosenstein is still the deputy attorney general and all investigations still pass through his office. the difference is that on major, major, major decisions there's another desk that a decision could go to and that would be to the acting attorney general's desk. i guess by this reporting it shows that that has not happened yet. but rosenstein,

steve schmidt, what ballot issues are you watching?l these marijuana initiatives and the degree to which they drive younger voters. . personally, i can't think of a stupider thing of this country to spend $60 billion a year on than the war on marijuana and the disproportionate incarcerations of african-americans versus privileged white college kids and down the line. these minimum wage initiatives have passed, even in republican states going back over the last couple of elections. medicaid expansion as you see in rural areas, hospitals being shut down, all of these issues are driving turnout from a specific portion of the democratic electorate, that initiative mix should work pretty well from a turnout perspective from democrats in all of the states. >> fda approving an opioid stronger than fentanyl and we're still debating weed. think about that. what ballot issue do you think matters? >> the reason congress is so polarized is gerrymandering, there are four states that have referendum on fair districts that would take the politics out

michael schmidt is standing by with a story entitled "manafort's lawyer said to brief trump attorneys on what he told mueller. manafort's lawyer, quote, reportedly briefed president trump's lawyers on his client's discussions with federal investigators after mr. manafort agreed to cooperate with the special counsel, according to one of mr. trump's lawyers and two other people familiar with the conversations. the arrangement was highly unusual and inflamed tensions with mr. mueller's office when prosecutors discovered it after mr. manafort began cooperating two months ago, the people said. rudolph giuliani, one of the president's personal lawyers, acknowledged the arrangement on tuesday and defended it as a source of valuable insights into the special counsel's inquiry and where it was headed. this news comes just one day after we learned the special counsel has scrapped manafort's plea agreement because they say manafort has been lying to the feds. this report comes just hours after manafort vigorously denied a report from the british newspaper "the guardian," that said he met with wi

farrell has been ireland‘s defence coach under schmidt, after holding the same position with englandbe his first head coach role, taking overfrom the new zealander who has acomplished plenty with ireland. two championships, one grand slam, a winning series in south africa, beat the all blacks twice. i think the fantastic thing aboutjoe is he is leaving irish rugby in a much better place. he will commit to making sure there is a contingency plan, that he is breeding new coaches who come in and ensure this irish team is going on to continue to try to be competitive at the very top level. lewis hamilton has welcomed all challenges to his formula one title next year. the mercedes driver dominated the field in 2018 to win his fifth world championship. but expects his main rivals to be contesting a little more when they get back to racing. i really welcome the competition. we welcome the competition as a team. we hope they are there because it willjust add to the spectacle if there was a six way battle between the ferraris, red bull and mercedes. that would be much closer than it has been.
