>> smith: but he's a very young man. >> smith: so how did he have that position?mar and he were close. >> smith: the task of exploring talks with agha fell to an old hand, diplomat richard holbrooke. together with an adviser, barnett rubin, they devised a plan to vet agha. >> we said to tayeb agha, "can you bring us a message from bowe bergdahl?" >> army sergeant bowe bergdahl, the only american prisoner of war held in afghanistan... >> smith: holbrooke and rubin also asked that agha tell mullah omar to release a special message. >> we told him that the message should include some comments on some recent events in somalia. >> american soldier bowe bergdahl was capturedn eastern afghanistan... >> smith: they reasoned that if agha proved he had access to bergdahl, the taliban's prized american prisoner, and to mullah omar, agha would pass their test. but the pentagon was against any negotiation. the military believed it was too soon for talks. >> the military was always saying, "okay, "we know there has to be a political settlement, but we should wait till we are in

(siren blaring) >> smith: one of haqqani's biggest suicide attacks came in downtown kabul in 2008. >> forty people are dead after a car bomb tore through the front wall of india's embassy in afghanistan... >> smith: though pakistan condemned it, intercepted communications established that the pakistani spy service, the i.s.i., had helped the haqqani network plan the attack. >> most of the haqqani network also attacked the intercontinental hotel, killing 12 afghans. >> at least 89 people were killed after a suicide bom

>> smith: that he was anxious... >> yes. >> smith: ...and eager and impatient for an end to the war.es, so what were the options? to just say, "no, everything is going bad, let's pull out," or try to work on it? i was a proponent of the negotiations. i encouraged psident trump to find a way to resolve this. to resolve this in a way that we do not lose all that we had worked so hard for. >> smith: rahmani had tried, but trump was unmoved. >> trump was quite indifferent to peace in afghanistan. even more indifferent than the previous presidents. he didn't care what happened in afghanistan. >> we're like policemen-- we're not fighting a war. if we wanted to fight a war in afghanistan and win it, i could win that war in a week. i just don't want to kill ten million people. does that make sense to you? i don't want to kill... >> what, what he wanted was to get the troops out of there, say he got the troops out of afghanistan. >> it would be over in, literally in ten days. >> and if he could get a photo-op making peace and get the nobel prize, just like obama did, so much the better. >> sm

i think jack smith saw the value in talking to evan corchran.o the chief judge when evan asserted attorney-client privilege. overrode that privilege and got the testimony. so jack is still thinking what are the other, you know, strings i need to pull we know there was a new round of subpoenas, different people what had been at mar-a-lago to learn what they knew it does appear he had a flurry of activity recently again, i think the other guests got it right it shows that at least trump and his lawyers feel like jack is closing in on them this is a hail kevin this is really an embarrassing letter for attorneys to write. i know that a long time department of justice attorney is part of this team and he should be ashamed of taking part in a request like this >> wow i guess embarrassing lawyers is better than making them hire defense attorneys. thank you four all your great reporting to day harry and mary, thank you for starting us off. be sure to check out mary's new podcast. it will smamake you smarter the latest episode of prosecuting donald trump

sophia smith and jacob shattuck, thank you for getting a sore time today. sophia smith, what initially got you interested in this? >> good question. a few months back, my grandfather passed away. it was something we knew was a long time coming. we had a discussion on how much money we were going to spend, what he wanted, those aspects of that burial and that honor. we discovered how difficult it was to have an affordable funeral. that got me into the topic and from there. host: jacob, when you decided this is what you wanted to pursue, how did you go about gathering your information? >> we did lots of research. we set up an excel document where we would copy paste during the day at school. when we were together, we would copy paste articles. at home, we would conduct notes. we conducted interviews of six experts. host: jacob, let me follow-up. those interviews, how receptive were they to your idea and the information you were trying to look for? >> they were very excited to talk about it. sophia talked about this before, when you are interviewing people and

it is a victory for the afore mentions jack smith, smith putting probe under oath for the first time today as we know it that means this special counsel succeed where other investigators ran into delays or walls. we now remember the completed congressional investigation, the january 6th committee. heard with great effect from pence's aids under oath and his legal adviser, but never from the former vice president himself. so, there is the first big headline here. by all public accounts -- and we will update this if we learn of some other secret proceeding, but based on what we know tonight, this is the first time former vice president pence has been pressed under oath about january 6th and the insurrection here is why this witness matters more than anyone i was just discussing this in our breaking news with my colleague nicolle wallace. there are several factual ways that mike pence's testimony matters more than anyone, including former president trump, who sits at the center and beneficiary of the failed coup plot. we have evidence that shows pence has firsthand information that few

doug smith: all of a sudden, here it was.or $15 a ton that the industry thought might've been imposed on us. this was massive. this was the end of our export to china. stephen: to make matters worse, the announcement of china's decision came when the new season's crops were already in the ground. doug smith: if they had have made the announcement of that level of tariff in, oh, let's say, february, it would have been quite easy for growers to say, "well, look, we're not going to grow as much barley. but to wait until after, for all intentional purposes, a lot of the australian barley crop was planted. yeah, it was a strategic? i would think so. stephen: it was a bitter blow after exhaustive efforts to refute china's allegations that australia was dumping barley, at below the cost of production, onto the chinese market. doug smith: the timelines that was put on the industry to respond were so short. it was incredible. and the detail that they were looking for. they were looking for basically financial detail back down to growe

the important thing here is that this helps special counsel jac smith.been ordered to testify about his potential illegal acts b donald trump. you know, di trump pressured him with corrupt intent? that is the ke legal phrase here, to act like the vice president chooses the next president, not the voters the trump no, or should he hav known that that was fraudulent that it was not in pence's power? this is a big ste forward, because getting insid donald trump's head, what di he say to mike pence, what did he say about his closest aides is a huge part of any possible prosecution for january 6th fo jack smith >> talk to us about where this goes next, carroll, jack smith is doing two investigation simultaneously. this obviously compels mike pence to testify. we are still waiting to see if mike pence appeals thi decision but how does what happen next impact the investigation and how do you assess where jack smith is taking this investigation base on him seeking this testimon from mike pence? >> well, with the return of th indictment by the stat prosecutor in

smith' investigation, that would have been the headline.g about this bit less because of what has happened to the former president. how significant of a ruling wa this that mike pence has t comply or a testify in jac smith's investigation? >> that part of the ruling i very significant it means he does have to giv testimony about the things tha jack smith is really intereste in i think to the extent that h and trump's allies are claimin victory -- it is limited to the fact that because the vice president actually serves as the president of the senate, he ha some legislative role. that means that he has som immunity under the speech or debate clause of the constitution, which protects people in congress for the actions and words that they ma say or do in the course of their legislative duties but that sounds like the chief justice took a very surgical approach here and he said, wit respect to his actions, as president of the senate, he ha some immunity there. but he does not have executive privilege over crimes that the president may have eng

thank you, a lawyer for the family of stephen smith says smith's body has already been returned to its resting place after being zoomed. over the weekend. smith was found dead by a road in 2015 from what he believed to be a hit and run , but his death received new scrutiny during the double murder trial of alex murdoch. authorities are now looking into smith's case as a homicide. his family's attorney says smith's body was removed from his grave and a second autopsy was completed to determine his cause of death. alex murdock's son, surviving son. buster denies having anything to do with smith's death. tornadoes could soon strike areas that have already suffered deaths and heavy damage. radar shows a storm system moving out of texas , where it dropped golf ball sized hail and prompted tornado warnings in the dallas area. little rock, arkansas is now in the danger area again. after a powerful tornado roared through there over the weekend. it was one of at least 59 twisters in 11 states on friday and saturday . they killed at least 32 people . the tornado that hit little rock was the seco

smith and there's a lot about this. mr. smith and and the archives. but what ended up happening and this is, again something that i was aware of because, there are a lot of great scholarship, especially black feminist scholars who've led the way pointing out to there being this archival deficit, this this imbalance, that we find in the archives between especially people in power like james smith, you have of records for them. you don't have records for people like. maria and allen and i wanted to find i wanted to find them. so you find as much as they could possibly. and actually, a lot of it i able to find a lot about maria through through mr. smith's archive of materials and remnants. but not enough that it was going to be a parody. and so that got me really about if you have this imbalance and if you're using the slavers records to get to the enslaved and i can't make up, i can tell you where mr. smith was buried. i can you her religious views. i can tell you things that she read in places that she liked to go. i can tell the names of her children.

sarah smith, bbc news, new york.are the charges against the former president, and what could be the consequences if he's found guilty? our analysis editor ros atkins is here to explain. ros. donald trump has faced an array of criminal investigations before, but he's never been charged. that's about to change. the reason why connects to stephanie clifford. she's a former porn star better known as stormy daniels, and she says she and donald trump had an affair in 2006, something he denies. next we fast forward ten years, and trump's then lawyer, michael cohen, becomes part of the story. just before the 2016 presidential election, he paid stormy daniels $130,000 to keep quiet about the affair. now, doing that isn't illegal in america, but after donald trump personally reimbursed michael cohen, the payment was recorded as being for legal fees. prosecutors believe this constitutes falsifying business records, and breaking election laws, too. i should say donald trump denies this, and calls the whole thing a witchhunt. but

you know, prior to jack smith. you know, these charges really do need to be brought some time this spring but they needed to be brought maybe last spring we are coming up op more than two years after january 6th. and to andrew's point, it takes a year to come to trial. well, a year from now the republican presidential nomination may already be sewed up it may be over we will be in the heart of the presidential campaign. so it's already -- we are already up against this deadline and i do worry about this. i have heard speculation that jack smith has to come up with something, take some action by the end of spring. well, it is april 14th, 2023 and so that time clock is now absolutely crucial i worry that we have waited too long i think that it's legitimate to be frustrated about the delays, about the slow action ever the department of justice. but, yes, time is pressing we can really hear time's winded chariot at our back at the moment. >> i ask questions on this show for years about how long it has taken the merrick

tell me what you think jack smith wants to know from mike pence. >> i dent think jack smith is goingo get a day of sleep before he hauls mike pence in. nicolle, he will want to know more about this conversation on january 5th, that mark short called the secret service to say that he was worried that the president of the united states was going to turn on the vice president of the united states and that there was a security risk why did pence have those concerns, did he communicate them directly to then president trump and how did trump respond? it is key to both the factual investigation of what happened on january 6, to prevent this kind of breakdown from ever happening again and it is key for the criminal investigation one reason for that, nicolle, is that there are other people who probably know more, mark meadows is exhibit 1 there but when he gets hauled into the grand jury, he almost certainly will take the fifth. because he has criminal exposure so he will probably never testify. pence, his testimony is extraordinarily important. >> let me show you one other thing that we know

smith? thank you, caller. guest: thank you for calling in. i don't study racial issues directly so i don't want to speak to those. what i can say, sure, we should do more. right now congress is debating what to do with a program called tre adjusted assistance. that program is to help people who may have lost their job because of international trade. a factory moves out of the u.s., how do we help thoseeople? tradadjustment was supposed to do that. it doesn't seem it has de a good job of that. a desperate need for more people toay, we need this kind of investmentn communities in so way. we need to help people who are losing out. trade adjustmentssistance should be the start. we need to find ways to do that. i encourage the utah workforce development office, a great resource here. i am sure every state has something like it. there is a lot of opportunities for people to find help. i agree with the caller, we should be doing even more. host: how much is private industry stepping up to the plate as far as assisted industries

and now mike pence will testif under oath to jack smith's grand jury about every singl word that donald trump said to him when he was trying to ge vice president mike pence to break the law and overturn the presidential election on january 6th. if those conversations wit mike pence or evidence tha donald trump committed a crime mike pence could be the star witness, the michael cohen i the case of donald j trump united states of america versu donald j trump if donald trump is charged b jack smith's grand jury with crimes leading up to and o january 6th. mike pence's refusal to appeal that he must testify, is a indication of just how muc mike pence himself might not have believed the absurdis grounds of which he wa claiming that he did not hav to testify it's more likely that future losing presidential candidat mike pence will try to somehow preserve what he thinks will b his perceived loyalty to donal trump by fighting or pretendin to fight jack smith's effort t put mike pence under oath in front of the grand jury. mike pence was only willing to go one round in that fight instead of taki

smith's task seems rather binary. did trump break the law and cannot be proven, but in the end, it will be left to the man who appointed jack smith. that would be merrick garland to act upon any recommendation and garland will have at his disposal. prosecutorial discretion. when a g garland appointed jack smith, he said that smith would not be subject to the day to day supervision of any official at doj. but will merrick garland feel obligated to follow smith's recommendation? here's what the code of federal regulations says about the powers of a special counsel. the special counsel shall not be the subject to day to day supervision of any department of the department. however the attorney general may request that the special counsel provide an explanation for any investigative or prosecutorial step, and may after review concluded that the action is so inappropriate. or unwarranted under established departmental practices that it should not be pursued. in conducting that review. the attorney general will give great we

my panel back with me, michael are you at all surprised tha jack smith is looking at obstruction?ok, if yo look at what happens in this investigation, this case and what happens around trump, the question is, was the governmen being actively, purposefully misled by trump's lawyers, and we know that the information that the trump's lawyers provided to the government about what trump had was not accurate we know that much. if you are the investigator, you want to know why is it tha the inaccurate information was provided to the governments? why didn't they say, we don' have any more classified documents and then when they did a search of mar-a-lago they found dozens, and dozens, and dozens of them where they misled because th lawyers were trying to mislead them where they misled because it was a miscommunication, or where they missed that because donald trump was telling his lawyers to mislead them? and did the lawyers know tha trump was telling them false information when they relate that to the government in some ways, explaining a cas like that to a jury who woul be easier than,

smith deservedly won the 2018 nobel prize in chemistry for his idea. and when we did seen on this stage, display is used in medicine and in pharmacological applications. very rarely when, what with methyl live and organic substances that a granite lamp, how that contains 190 milligrams of rad us. there is no way to results the rad us in these energy saving lamps. can smith's idea work with the rare earth contained in an energy saving light bulb? that questions being put to the test here. this vessel contains a mixture of luminous powder, from energy saving light bulbs, and neon tubes. now the magnetized m. 13 bio angles are simply added and stirred briefly. then another magnet goes into action, as is also common in the recycling industry on a large scale. when the mixture of bio angles and rare earths is passed through this magnet, the in 13 bio angles, which if the experiment has worked, should have combined with the desired rare earth by now and be stuck to the magnet o. if the magnet is turned off, the magnetized pio angles and rare earth should be

smith joined the saudi—funded tour after winning the open lastjuly.re still entitled to play at the four majors. although there've been tensions between players on both tours, smith says the atmosphere at augusta has been good so far. i spent an hour out there and i've seen lots of familiar faces, lots of smiles and hugs, and it has been nice. i don't think there is any kind of hatred going on between the players. we are all happy where we are and i am just as happy for the guys winning out on the pga tour as they are for the liv golfers as well. with tennis�*s clay court season upon us — the king of clay rafa nadal has pulled out of next week's monte carlo masters with an ongoing hip injury. it means he remains a doubt for the french open next month, where he's the defending champion and a 14—time winner. nadal hasn't played since his second—round defeat to american mackenzie mcdonald at the australian open injanuary. and australia and new zealand are the latest women's teams to unveil new kits that address player concerns over wearing light—coloured

does this give us an idea of when jack smith might be deciding to charge. that is absent that he hasn't yet questioned? >> reporter: it gives us a little bit more information. our justice team has reported that there are other subpoenas still outstanding, folks we know about who are expected to come testify before jack smith's grand jury. you haven't done so yet. it's not as though pence is the end of the road here. i can't imagine any other witness having more of a legal back and forth before they were able to come testify. i mean, remember, pence had fought this, and the idea that he was exempted under the speech and debate clause from having to testify. donald trump's legal team fought this through an appeal's court ruling, that executive privilege. so i think pence is probably the hardest witness that jack smith was going to have to pursue to get him to testify in terms of legal back and forth. he won't be the last. that's a long way of saying they're not done yet, katy, you can see how the runway might play out over the next couple of weeks and months.
