and friends karen greenberg director of the center on national security at fordham university school of law she joins us via skype from westchester in new york state and you've had a little bit of time to digest some of the some of this admission as it's come out in the last few hours just first of all your reaction to this. yeah my reaction is that they knew they had to come up with a story and this is what they think is the best story for their purposes that they can come up with and i think the response to that has to be whether it's from the white house or from the media or from the expert community is that that's not good enough the story that has to meet a with the facts and be has to be part of an investigation the more than the person accused of leading this effort and this murder is it has to be an investigation by somebody other than him and his forces and so it's at the very least insufficient but it's also insulting it's really a question of saying what you saw what you heard what billy the few facts that we do know you can push those aside because here's our story and worst keep sticking to it and i think if it is in a word insulting

karen greenberg is a director of the center of national security at fordham university school of law she joins us via skype and westchester and new york state and i want to put the same question to you there will be obviously more questions not fewer questions now that this this narrative is coming out karen. it will this stand up will or will it can this narrative continue to to change and evolve. it's hard to imagine this narrative and this stand up for very long if because it contradicts what was first said and so the question is what's going to be contradictory to come down the pike in the future it may be that this is the narrative that the saudis think suits their interests the best and that this is when they're going to stick with but i agree with your guest that this the pushback is not just going to come from the white house it's going to come from everywhere it's going to come from journalist it's going to come from i think many of the human rights people around the world i think it's going to come hopefully from the congress but it's hard to say with our congress that they do protest and then sometimes but i think look we've seen

of tension between the united states and russia. ok with that update in new york annabelle thanks very much for that. the director of the nuclear studies institute at american university in washington d.c. told us that it's trump who needs to come to his senses and avoid a new nuclear arms race. you have to remember back in the one nine hundred eighty s. . the united states and russia had about seventy thousand nuclear weapons between us it was estimated that between us we had the capability destructive capability equivalent to about one point five million hiroshima bombs it was an important treaty it eliminated an entire class of nuclear weapons remember twenty seven one hundred nuclear missiles were destroyed bolton called for pulling out of the i.n.f. treaty in two thousand and eleven before there were even any allegations that the russians were in any way breaching the treaty the fact that bolton of all people is the one who's actually conducting these discussions is very very serious and we know the bolton strongly influenced trump's decision to abrogate the i.n.f. treaty trumpet said what's the point of having nuclear weapons if we can't use them to a normal per

right now and go to karen greenberg is director of the center on national security at fordham university school of law she joins us from westchester new york state i'm actually curious if you agree with what sammy was saying there karen that this is this is more than about me the relationship between the united states and saudi arabia this is very specifically about what seems to be a real between donald trump jerry cushion or. i certainly think you could argue that that this isn't really anymore about and i think that's what's getting so much opposition and discussion in congress right now is is this a personal relationship or is this this is extend to two countries relationships and so it's a question of whether or not we actually know the answer to that i don't know but there are a number of experts who are weighing in as sure as your guested in that way i think that the deeper issue here is to speak to some of the commentary is you can't have it both ways is it that mohammed in some on is a strong autocratic leader who has complete control of his country which is what we have seen for the past however many months now in terms of his detainin
