scott wise: the fire jumped the freeway-- garvin: of all the things scott wise lost the night of theorth bay fires-- scott: and then it came um w was not one. you see, these days, scott likes to lovingly refer to hennessy place, his coffey park street, as "the flats," because it is, he says. but the night of the fire, there was something else scott was afraid he was going to lose: his sense of community, one he and a tight group of neighbors had built over decades. as scott took one last look before leaving, he feared their connection, just like everything else on this street, might be turning to ash. scott: yeah.thoua fig- scott: we lived in that street for almost 30 years, and we've done a lot of life together. garvin: which is why, when it came time to celebrate his wife, april's birthday, this week, scott didn't reserve a table or a room at a restaurant. instead, he set up for a party right in the middle of their old cul-de-sac and invited all the old neighbors to return. scott: we have a sense of community that, i hate to say it, but a lot of people don't, and we work hard at it

scott: mr. jordan, it sounds like from some of these negotiations that freedom caucus members are open to some sort eventual path to citizenship for these daca kids, these dreamers. is that accurate based on what we're hearing? rep. jordan: we're not in favor of a special path. what we're in favor of is doing the border security, all the things i listed the election is about and we're supportive of the same thing the president is supportive of, making sure once we do the border security and all the immigration reform we need to do, secure our southern border, make our immigration system work better, then we're in favor of allowing the daca population to stay here and they do not get a unique path to citizenship, but get in the back of the line and they can pursue citizenship like anyone else who came here legally. kristina: speaker ryan talked about drafting the four pillars the president has discussed. do you think you can get 218 republican votes to pass that kind of a bill? rep. jordan: krist

ever seen yor source that i've talked to regarding scott pruitt maintains that scott pruitt's relationship with some very influential people in the energy sector are still very much behind him and that those folks have the president's ear. until he's not in lock step with some of these dominant forces in the energy industry, i don't see this hurting him. where this becomes problematic and where this becomes more of a poght, when you have folks in the ethanol industry led of course by two republican senators from iowa, chuck grassley and joni earnst, that becomes an inner republican fight and that's problematic from a political standpoint. i'm not sure they want to have a nomination fight ahead of the midterms. >> i meant the administrator to you. jonathan, 15 seconds. >> i don't think scott pruitt is going anywhere. seems cemented in there. up to the president personally and execute the policies he wants. >> headline that keeps on giving unfortunately i'm sure for money. that will do it for me. i'm richard lui. thanks for watcng. all of your fathers have a good father's day. yup.

scott: i think the honest answer, is not all that much. it 19economy that is trillion dollars, the steel and aluminum tariffs, if they were to fully take effect, with amounts to somewhere, depending on the price of the good, billion, thatd $9 is in a $19 trillion economy. wilbur ross, the commerce made ary, i think he demonstration of this with an of beer, and a campbell's soup can. it looks kind of silly, but i think the point was very valid, that the consumer would see a negligible effect from all of this. meanwhile, he would see, and you but more steel wheels come more aluminum smelter's opened in the united states. he has seen companies recover more of their market share. level of business where they are able to sustain provide good middle-class jobs to provide for ounation defense as well. host: your response? veronique: i disagree. i think the demonstration with the aluminum cans was extremely silly, and it is wrong and misleading to actually look at the impact of tariffs on the overall u.s. economy. it is to again take, you are righ

thank you very, very much, scott, meaning scott pruitt.ublican senator joni ernst said this is as swampy as swampy gets. why is he willing to stick with scott pruitt? >> scott pruitt has conducted a lot of his ag, and a lot of high-profile donors really like scott pruitt and he hears consistently from conservatives around the country that scott pruitt is one of the most effective members of his cabinet. what's interesting to us is support for pruitt inside the west wing as he wrote it and the president is the only one left in the building who supports scott pruitt. he's also talked to scott pruitt about his frustrations with jeff sessions as "the new york times" reported this weekend and that's certainly true, and he has talked to scott pruitt about a number of political issues outside of the epa. he's one of the president's favorite cabinet members and s far the drip, drip, drip of ethical issues has not changed that dynamic for the president. >> important reporting as always. josh dawsey, thanks. >>> some late-night wrangling managed to

you know that, scott. amy: calls are growing for epa administrator scott pruitt to resign as he faces more than a dozen ethics investigations. but behind the scenes, he is radically reshaping the epa. the chemical industry has just been handed a major victory as the epa scaled back the way it determines the risks of the most dangerous chemicals on the market. then as protests resume in gaza we look at how the israeli military is attempting to frame the palestinian medic razan al najjar who was shot dead last week by an israeli sniper. and we go to afghanistan where afghan president ashraf ghani has announced a temporary ceasefire with the taliban. a move haiailed by nato. >> it is a positive step forward on the path to peace. nato fully supports an afghan led an afghan owned peace and reconciliation process. amy: all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. donald trump and other leaders of the world's largest economies have gathered

norman scott, now in his late 70s, has welcomed the news. four years ago, but the case continues to fascinate, and the intrigue and the hunt for the truth continues. jon donnison, bbc news. earlier we heard from panorama‘s reporter, tom mangold — who you just saw in that report. he explained why he thinks the case should be reopened. the new evidence we have uncovered is from a man called dennis meehan, who told me he was part of the original conspiracy to murder norman scott, and that he, meehan, andrew newton, remember the guy who shot rinka, scott‘s dog, and a member of the liberal party, conspired at the ritz cafe in shepherd‘s bush to murder norman scott. meehan was the first person who was hired as the hitman. he went down to barnstaple to kill scott, lost his nerve at the last moment, gave the gun to newton and the rest is history. meehan made a full confession to scotland yard detectives about this. way back in the 70s. that full confession was subsequently disappeared. and in its place meehan was invited to sign a much more anodyne

scott, and then we will get questions from you. scott: hello, everybody. my name again is scott faber, i am vice president of the environmental working group, governmental affairs. as you heard from chuck voteley, americans overwhelmingly to provide farmers with the tools necessary to manage the of and downs of agriculture, but as senator grassley put it, much better than i will, subsidies should only flow to farmers and only farmers who live and work on farms. it is also important that work should meet a common sense definition of the word "work." the gao found a few weeks ago, nearly a quarter of subsidy recipients who are required to be actively engaged in farming to receive subsidies satisfy this obligation through personal management, such as joining conference calls. and, as the gao found, as these farms grow more complex with more partners, it is less and less likely the subsidy recipients are actually working on the farm. this week, the senate agriculture community has a chance to fix it by requiring them to not only have a financial stake in the f

that culminated in the shooting of norman scott's dog in exmoor, but the gun jammed before scott himselfe and more came into the public domain. david steel told thorpe to resign, afterfinding out about the diversion of party funds. thorpe‘s friend peter bessell went public with his story of the conspiracy. at the end of the decade, thorpe was on trial. although acquitted. he disappeared from public life after that, suffering from parkinson's. although he made a poignant appearance at the liberal democrat party conference in 1997. jeremy thorpe died in 2014. that was a very condensed version of the plot. but it is worth also saying that there is also an enduring suspicion that the authorities, or the establishment, tried to protect thorpe and cover—up the affair with norman scott, and panorama last night ran an episode put together at the time of the trial, which made the case that a lot more had been known about thorpe than the authorities let on. well, let's talk to lord steel who joins us now from selkirk. a very good evening to you. i wonder whether you think surname was guilty of a c

about the dred scott dishes in. -- dred scott decision. the issue is ultimately whether sanfordtt can sue john by dred scott claiming he is a citizen of the state of missouri. his argument is he is a free person and he lives in missouri. therefore, he must be a citizen of missouri and he can sue john sanford, who happens to claim dred scott as his slave. but for a variety of odd reasons, he has become a citizen of new york. so you can live in new york but he can own a slave in missouri. my students say how can you own a slave if you are a citizen in new york i give them the answer, you can fly to denver and buy a certain vegetable substance and use it legally in denver, and you can register a deposit box and keep it in denver and live in a state where it is illegal to own it. you can own things in the state, even if you can't bring them into your home state. john sanford, a citizen at new york. dred scott susan as a citizen of missouri. notquestion is whether or dred scott consume as a citizen of missouri. say henford's lawyers cannot sue

host: scott paul? guest: we need smart and a strategic approach on the president as we move forward. i think there is good evidence that the tariffs are having the desired effects. that.n see there needs to be this disruption because there has been an imbalance, but i don't agree with the president that trade wars are easy to win. i don't believe ultimately they are a good thing. i think that tariffs can be affected and there is good evidence for that. one of the reasons we have automobiles from japanese companies made in the united states instead of all of them coming from japan is because it was pressure. a blueprint on how to do it, but it has to be smart and strategic. host: our guest have been scott for alliance for american manufacturing, and veronica de rugy. thank you for joining us this hour. will take a brief timeout, and when we combat, you want to get your take -- when we come back, we want to get your opinion on grim statistics about suicide rates being considerably higher. the report in 2

baker, president trump yesterday, with these words of support for scott pruitt. >> administrator scott pruitt, thank you, scott, very much. epa is doing really, really well. you know, somebody has to say that about you a little bit. people are really impressed with the job being done at the epa. thank you, scott. >> the president has let cabinet secretaries go before. why is scott pruitt surviving? >> we don't really know the answer. some of the other officials let go before who have come under fire for things usually had other issues as well. there wasn't a reservoir of good will. clearly scott pruitt has been keeping faith with president obama's agenda. he's been implementing the policies the president wants to have implemented. i think the president these days feeling the heat from the investigations that have surrounded him is feeling sort of, you know, projecting on other people the notion that they're somehow being persecuted unfairly. any day, one of these stories kind of like get his goat and he decides too much is too much and he could switch gears. >> charlie, republicans, at

i mean who is swampier than scott pruitt?ther than maybe the president himself. >> this is how scott pruitt defended his behavior when he testified on capitol hill. but we should note, this defense was before at least a dozen new accusations of misconduct emerged. but here was his defense back then. >> much of what has been targeted toward me and my team has been half truths or at best, stories that have been so twisted they do not resemble reality. i'm here and i welcome the chance to be here to set the record straight in these areas. but let's have no illusions about what is really going on here. those who attack the epa and attack me are doing so because they want to attack and derail the president's agenda and undermine this separation's pad priorities. >> pruitt had at least three epa staffers work to help his daughter get a summer internship at the white house. one aide said they were constantly fielding requests like this. i would imagine helping your daughter get an internship is probably not that unusual in the beltw

pruitt, who's under investigation for ethics violations. >> administrator scott pruitt, thank you scottery much. epa is doing really, really well. somebody has to say that about you a little bit, you know that, scott. >> reporter: one person not getting praised tonight? attorney general jeff sessions, who trump all but ignored. >> attorney general jeff sessions, thank you, jeff. >> reporter: as you know, wolf, president trump as recently as yesterday continues to badger the attorney general for recusing himself in the russia probe. no surprise in a sense that he didn't pay him as much attention today. as for the pardons, two sources familiar with the matter say the white house counsel's office is considering a handful of clemency positions for people like alice johnson, people who aren't celebrities and are not political allies of this white house. >> joining us now senator sheldon whitehouse. he's a democrat who serves on the judiciary committee. let me quickly get your reaction to these allegations that the president's long time personal lawyer michael cohen colluded with stormy danie

take a look at what the president had to say. >> scott pruitt, thank you, scott, very much.eally well, and you know, somebody has to say that about you a little bit. you know that, scott, but you have done -- i tell you the epa is doing so well, so many approvals and disapprovals, if they don't qualify they don't qualify but we don't have to wait 15 years to tell somebody they don't qualify and people are really impressed with the job that's being done at the epa. thank you very much, scott. >> and the president's comments come as a growing number of republicans have decided they've had enough of pruitt es problems. several lawmakers say their patience with the chief is running thin. politico says there are many lawmakers now publicly questioning whether pruitt can hang on to the job amid the unending stream of scandals. speaking yesterday, hatch had a word of advice for the administrator. >> i think he has to be very careful because you know, it's important that people believe that he's a person that they can trust and will do the job without -- without influence one way or

this is not about the press attacking scott pruitt.ean, when you look at e-mails and you see one of his senior aides using the epa e-mail address to contact a ceo of a fast food franchise to ask about a business opportunity, i mean, i rarely see something like that, and that seems -- in terms of an ethics issue that's a real one. >> they weren't even trying to hide it, it seems. you've been following him, as you wed. there is something rich about somebody who was an attorney general to enforce laws now being the subject of 15, maybe 16 investigations. should the white house based on his record back home have seen this coming? >> well, i mean, what you know about scott pru sitt is he want to listen to -- industry advocates and often is pushing an agenda aligned with them and to some extent questions the regulatory reach of the federal government and the wants to roll it back and that's something the trump administration wanted. >> to that point, what are you hearing from sources at the white house? as long as scott pruitt is running a b

bush to murder norman scott. the gun to andrew newton, and the rest is history. meehan made a full confession to scotland yard detectives about this. this is back in the 70s? way back in the 70s. and that full confession has subsequently disappeared. and in his place, meehan was invited to sign a much more anodyne statement which happened not to mentionjeremy thorpe or the fact that he, meehan, had gone down to kill norman. and so meehan was anxious to sign it. as a result of my investigation, gwent police were invited to conduct an investigation into these allegations. the investigation lasted a year and i am afraid it has been a bit ineffectual. because they said, we cannot proceed with this because andrew newton, the third member is dead. sadly, they have now had to revise their opinion because they think andrew newton is not dead. and so the revelation itself is notjust that andrew newton may be alive when they thought he was dead, but more importantly that stopped the investigation, and if he is alive, the i

watch. >> administrator scott pruitt, thank you, scott, very much.is doing really, really well and, you know, somebody has to say that about you a little bit. you know that, scott. but you have done -- i tell you, the epa is doing so well. >> it's the awkward laughter from a couple people next to scott pruitt at that moment here. i was scolded recently by a source who said, god, do you think dems will be happy if they get this scalp? is that where it will end? that was the attitude of the person inside the administration. it feels aggrieved about it. even those who don't like his behavior. >> they don't like scott pruitt for the ethics infactions against him but for the agenda he's implementing or that he's rolling back president obama's initiatives. what would it take at this point for the president to cut him loose. >> andrew. >> the support has broken. have joni ernst, the senator from iowa, not anyone's idea of a flame thrower as swampy as you get. interesting thing, hallie, some republicans who are now criticizing him don't like is that he's goi

i went to scott and i said scott, i think we have the company that makes the laptops and the iphones for apple and it is one of the great companies of the world, one of the biggest companies in the world, and i said a long time ago to tim cook, of apple, i said i will not be satisfied until you start building your plants and others start building and you are new really, as usual, the first, building the biggest plant you have ever seen in wisconsin. when i gave them over to you, i said i don't have to make another call because it was like a vice; right? and you pulled it off, so i want to congratulate scott walker. that is going to be 15,000 jobs i think in that one place. from what i'm hearing they are already talking about expansion. we flew over a site and it was very interesting together i said what's that? that was a car company that had left. it's this big site, good location. i said that would be good. and you said that's the site. but when i handed them over to scott walker, it was over. i didn't have to waste any more time, right? you took it over. they are building, how far

but back to scott pruitt. drew griffin joins me now. and pruitt had a bizarre response ts story about him trying to get his wife a chick-fil-a franchise. >> which makes it even worse. scott pruitt didn't see anything wrong with the move and calling chick filla a franchise of faith and excited about the possibility of bringing one of the franchises to tulsa. the presideupport pruitt but increasingly republicans on capitol hill finding it hard to do. one republican senator, john kennedy of mississippi today said of pruitt, he's acting like a moron. scott pruitt tried to use his position as head of the environmental protection agency to get his wife a franchise chick-fil-a. as astonishing as that sounds, more astonishing, it is all in writing in government e-mails. on may 16th, 2017 pruitt's former aide sydney hop from her official account writes to chick-fil-a, administrator pruitt asked me to reach outo you aut a potential meeting. da later a second message and the administrator would like to about a potential business opportun with mr.

norman scott, now in his late 70s, has welcomed the news. hard enough to look for him. i really don't. there must be people who knew him and there would surely be a record of him dying, surely. jeremy thorpe died four years ago but the case continues to fascinate and the intrigue and the hunt for the truth continues. jon donnison, bbc news. and you can see tom mangold's documentary the jeremy thorpe scandal on bbc four at 10pm tonight. the government is warning that the threat to britain from islamist terrorism could increase over the next two years. it will shortly publish a major review of counter—terrorism strategy which will see the security service, m15, share more on what it knows about subjects of concern with other partners, including local government. more than 20,000 individuals are held on its database. a 33—year—old man has been arrested in connection with the death of a man following a hit—and—run near glasgow. 27—year—old steven campbell had been walking in rutherglen in the early hours of saturday morning when he was hit by a

scott pruitt has basically said the epa shouldn't exist. now is 15 or 16, up to 2022. at some point, the president has to make the decision of whether or not he wants to drag scott pruitt into the midterms, where democrats will bring his name up. >> president trump seems to have made the decision now, that scott pruitt is going to be where he is. otherwise, like tom price, pruitt would be gone by now. democrats are veseizing on the issue. do you see it as something that'll last into the midterms or no? >> i think democrats will make scott pruitt an issue for the midterms. they're determined to don't, whether the environmental groups or the candidates. if he stays in his job and, right now, you mentioned president trump is supportive of his staying, he'll be an issue. we'll see how it connects to voters. democrats see scott pruitt as one of the best examples they can give of, as you put it, the swamp. they do plan to try to bring this to the -- bring this out for voters as they head to the polls in the fall. >> thank you for coming on the sh

norman scott, now in his late 70s, has welcomed the news.nybody has tried hard enough to look for him. i really don't. there must be people who knew him and there would surely be a record of him dying, surely. jeremy thorpe died four years ago but the case continues to fascinate and the intrigue and the hunt for the truth continues. jon donnison, bbc news. the breakfast team is here at 6:00. now on bbc news, the story of the iconic 747jumbojet. 50 years ago, man dared to dream. space, speed and size. apollo, concorde and, in 1968, the jumbo jet. the first giant 7117 is presented to the world. people thought that an aeroplane this big just wouldn't fly. over 400 seats — nearly three times existing airliners‘. they bet the company on this aeroplane. pilots called her ‘the queen of the skies‘. if you're flying a 747, you're flying every pilot's dream. a symbol of power. beast of burden, and she's carried 5 billion of us across the planet. its economy made it possible for everyone to fly. all: cheers! a 50—year reign, now sadness as passengers a
