certainly in these past couple years of the trump administration. she's been able to walk that fine line and be able to address some of these very tough issues but yet not necessarily address them and be hypercritical of the president. jim was talking to, when you talk about foreign issues as well, she's been very tough on russia, but at the same time, it hasn't appeared as if she was breaking with her boss necessarily, maybe just reaffirming what the administration would like our allies to hear and not necessarily what president trump said. but at the same time, she's also very young. she was not a trump person initially. she supported marco rubio, the florida senator, for the republican presidential nomination. >> mark preston, if i could interrupt you there for a moment because this was first reported by axios. this has been confirmed by a white house official to jim acosta. cnn has the same reporting. nikki haley's departure, resignation, president trump accepting that resignation. sorry, i interrupted you. go ahead. >> i wanted to point out, she

how much of a surprise was this announcement for members of the trump administration? what about the timing of this? awkward a month before the mid-terms. >> that's right. usually when you have a senior official like the person who stepped down today, nikki haley, that person usually waits until after the mid-terms so you don't create additional stories that may not bode well for the administration or the white house. this happened today and we are still trying to sort out exactly why. we know that nikki haley met with the president on october 3rd last week and she handed him the letter of resignation and thanking him for allowing her to be part of his administration, but in terms of the specific reasons as to why she is stepping down at this time, she said when she was in the oval office with the president earlier this morning, that listen, she wants to have a break, especially. she has been doing this for sometime, being governor of the state of south carolina and a top level member of this administration. one thing we should point out is this departure of nikki haley

the u.s. administration takes this instance extremely seriously. and there will be some ramifications but it depends really upon establishing the full facts of what happened. arthel: does her gillian turner in the package that the president says regarding the u.s. arms sales to saudi arabia that he is not ready to take the deal off the table. here is the arizona senator, jeff flake on the very topic. >> i do think that arms sales will be affected. certainly involvement in yemen with saudi arabia will be affected. that involvement barely survived in the last go round with the national defense authorization act. it certainly will not survive with this kind of accusation if it is true. >> who has the leverage in this transaction? the u.s. or saudi arabia? >> i think both sides here. i think the president has made it clear that he would like to see the armed sales go forward with saudi arabia. not least because a lot of u.s. jobs are involved here but also, president trump does not want russia to step into the frame and replacement of the united states.

administration. she's been one of the stars of this administration. she's got a tremendous political future, probably on the national stage. i don't think this actually hurts the administration right now. it gave him a chance to sit next to her, to be able to run through what he regards as his foreign policy successes. i think there's going to be a lot of speculation about this, and what he's done, though, is you know, intentionally or not, the spotlight is going to be on this very popular, very, very successful female republican, and right now this is probably what the administration and the republicans need at the moment. >> for those of us who are just joining us now on the east coast, it is now 11:30 on the east coast. it is 8:30 there on the west coast. breaking news this hour, president trump lauding his outgoing ambassador to the united nations, nikki haley surprising all including many in the white house with the sudden announcement of her departure. the news was followed by lengthy comments at the white house. haley and the president sitting s

xers website she was a senior member of the trump administration she was put in position within a few days of donald trump winning the us election she is at the white house we are expecting imminently mrs haley and donald trump to appear in the oval office for what donald trump has said on twitter as well a big announcement with my friend embassador nikki haley in the oval office at ten thirty am local time that's eight minutes ago so soon as that happens we'll carry that for you live of course here on al-jazeera will stay with these pictures and we'll talk to our u.n. correspondent mike hanna mike what are they saying about this where you are. well peter the news has just been greeted here the united nations no firm responses yet but certainly there is a great deal of surprise and indeed shock in the hallways of the united nations there had been speculation a few months ago that nikki haley was at odds with the president however that was done a very vehemently by hailee herself and indeed by those close to president trump the indications we're getting at the moment is that this is go

actionable strategies for congress and the administration. just last week, for instance, i met with jinsa. it was to enhance bilateral intelligence sharing and very. vemtd programs between washington and jerusalem. jinsa's effective ps in advancing the u.s./israel relationship double come without a lot of hard work. to everyone and so many others among your leadership and your staff, i want to say thank you for all of your labors, for all you've done to secure america and to strengthen our alliance with israel. and i especially want to thank awe of the servicemen and servicewomen tonight. without you teen wisest policy would surely fail. finally i want to thank and congratulation secretary mike pompeo who you honor tonight with the henry mchlt scoop jackson award. it's dedicated to israel and our allies that the united states once again stands with him, that the united states does not make idle threats and does not apiece our enemies. this year alone thanks to secretary mike pompeii popompeo revoked funds that enrich corrupt palestinian leader

the trump administration is restoring the law. shannon: they also said they don't comment on a leaked document, commenting on anything about that but they said the broad definition of sex on a federal court in december 2016 and the obama administration did not appeal. the court order remains in full force in effect today and hhs is bound by it as we review the issue. what do you make of that explanation? >> everybody does deserve to be treated with respect. i disagree with tony and the hhs, they are split on gender orientation. on the civil rights act. we could go back 1000 years and egyptians had 3 genders identified. this is not something new, not out of the blue. it is identified more than the binary nature of gender as defined in our bible that tony and i read and broader than that and hour laws are here to protect those who are minorities and can be discriminated against. >> to talk about this definition, for federal law. >> before the midterms absolutely not and we will see what happens november 6th. it will be a bigger issu

my question to the trump administration is this, what is your strategy? moreover, we don't even know what your long-term objectives are. i'm alarmed that the president's statements regarding his strategy on syria have been so overwhelmingly at odds with statements from his senior cabinet officials. earlier this year president trump stated that the united states would be coming out of syria, quote, like very soon" and that we should, quote, let other people take care of it now. naovely asserting that the ongoing conflicts in syria and the resulting humanitarian crisis there will no longer be of concern to the united states. in april after ordering missile strikes in syria the president tweeted him a quote, mission accomplished. although the accomplishment remains unclear. in an abrupt reversal senior administration officials recently walked back previous plans of an imminent pullout of you has forces in syria. earlier this month the u.s. ambassador to the united nations, nikki haley, warned russians don't and iran of dire consequences if they continue milit

i have the trump administration fully understands this. diminishing the value of arms- control and placing all faith in one dimensional conceptions of increasing nuclear strength, to bring the russians and the chinese to heal will result in a far more dangerous strategic environment. i want to remind the administration the bipartisan support is tied to maintaining an arms-control process that controls, seeks to reduce their nuclear forces. that does mean promoting military and fiscally responsible policies on ourselves. we are not interested in writing blank checks for nuclear arms race with russia. we don't want to step off the path of stability to wander down and uncertain road, filled with potentially dire consequences. the final note i would make is i hope that as part of our oversight, which i applaud you for having conducted with these hearings, we will get to an opportunity to markup nafta and related bills. it is important for congress to speak about russia's violations of the international order, and the undermining of our election

she makes the administration look good. , dignity and elegance to her and particular quality of being a woman. i think that's why she got the farewell she did. i also think that it plays into the mid-terms a little bit. there was a question asked which the president didn't answer about why you are announcing now rather than after the mid-terms? i think that by having this farewell in the oval office and everybody looking and listening to nikki haley it is reminding the nation of how well the administration is doing on foreign policy. that it has had this dignified and effective role and that's something which the president i'm sure and the republicans in general are glad to have put about the nation three weeks before the mid-terms. >> jon: i suppose it goes without saying that after the administration has been criticized so much over the brett kavanaugh matter and so many women in particular have been angry in this country, it is a good time to point out that one of the most prominent women in his cabinet has been quite goo

when i see you, i am referring to the administration, what are your priorities for change and what are the possibilities of alluding to what you just said? what are the possibilities of getting anything done before the next conference? how long do we have? this is the problem with wto reform. eu issuing a paper on wto reform, the canadians are organizing a group of ministers in late october, but this discussion, in my view, the discussion of the beauty over form would not have happened but of the disruptive leadership the united states. what are our priorities? one priorities notifications, transparency. you need transparency to have a system, soing unfortunately, too many members are not transparent and failed to fulfill the notification obligations and i have statistics here i will not read, but the united states has tabled a notifications proposal that would pose some administrative measures on members who fail to live up to their notification obligation. that proposal has been joined in by the eu, which japan and the u.s. are all working together to amend the proposal and put forwa

and the administration has basically continued the approach of the previous administration which is it's better to threaten to reimpose sanctions and without actually imposing them. turkey is about one-third less importing than it was when the u.s. pulled out. it was importing in may about 200,000 barrels a day of iranian oil and it is now at about 133,000 so about a one-third cut in oil. purchases from iran. turkey, however, remains dependent on iranian oil and also has said the u.s. pullout from the nuclear deal was not justified, so turkey might retain its imports at roughly this level. my bottom line conclusion is that the administration's strategy will hinge on ultimately on what china and india do. together, these two buy 60% of iran's oil exports. if those two countries remain relatively defiant of the u.s. reimposition of sanctions, iran will likely be exporting enough oil to keep its economy a float. if china and india start complying with u.n. sanctions and cut their imports of iranian oil dramatically, then i would predict the administration might achieve its goal of imposing

ambassador nikki haley and one of the administrations's last moderate republican voices. joining me is david ignatius, and foreign affairs columnist, and sabrina siddiqui and sam stein who is a msnbc contributor and former columnist for the daily beast. and we gather that the president and certainly john bolden and the secretary of state were not surprised. the secretary of ostate has been traveling since friday in asia, and seoul, and david ignatius, he was in seoul, tokyo, beijing and got back last night, and now, according to the "post" and your columnist, that the white house had posted the resignation, and so that it was on that day october 3 snrd >> it appears from the documentation that it was known by the white house for a week. and we will be getting the reporting that helps us to understand better what prompted nuk can ki haley to submit this r -- nikki haley to submit this resignation letter and the implications to the president. and when you lose the most prominent woman in your administration at a time when tr trump's relationships with the women, and dealing

the nine units on the top floor which were converted to the administrator unit and the deputy administrator unit, so they could live on-site, which is now required by state law. they should have gotten permits ahead of time, but we're doing what we can at this point to get permits for that. and i think that work actually is legitimate. obviously, they need to go through the right process to do it. >> is it your -- it is your interpretation that the state law is that the administrators should be required to live there on a -- on a permanent basis where i could look at the -- and i -- i'm not an expert in this area, but i looked at the same piece of paper, and apply it to my own hospitality businesses where quite often, the administrator, otherwise known as the general manager, where there is a unit for a general manager or a manager on duty to reside for the purposes of providing reasonable protection for the guests in -- in that hospitality unit. and by the way, you have a hospitality unit here. it's the same thing, it's just different kind of customers. so i -- why is your interpretation t

which is something we've seen in other litigation against the administration on this issue. to now the fact that after the supreme court upheld the third version of the ban, there's a question of implementation that is you know, beginning to get litigated with the question about waivers, but that is much, much harder to litigate than the initial proclamation level litigation was. we're hitting a lot of the themes that are going to define this administration. we're seeing that the administration moves first and is checked or not checked by the courts. we're seeing the extent to which the administration plans things out in advance is the determinant of whether or not there's a great deal of public backlash against it and we're seeing it's harder to pull together individual pieces into trends than it is to deal with, as a public to things being announced at the outset. please tell us your name and i'm going to ask you a question. >> your presentations i heard a couple of things, one you know, that in broad terms people are coming you know for the american dream. and i also heard

of the national telecommunications and information administration. what is ntia responsible for? >> guest: ntia is the department of commerce agency that's principally responsible for advising the president on communications of information policy. we as a regulator, use government spectrum assignment so whenever one of our federal agencies needs to use radiofrequency spectrum they come to us to find resources for them. we are charged with making sure the internet remains an open engine for economics and communication around the world. >> host: what is your interaction with the sec and ftc? >> guest: they are both independent agencies. our interaction with them is in that we are tasked to take with the fcc, with even the executive branch use the sec so we harmonize the use of the executive branch and present them to the fcc so the growth of the independent decision-making, they know what the administration think about a particular policy. >> host: what is the status of firstnet today? >> guest: firstnet is up and running. we're excited about what's goi

half the positions in the administration have not been filled. y 20% of the top 6000 in civil servants have quit in the first year. it's a crisis. it's a very slow-moving crisis. it's the crisis you don't pay attention to when you're paying attention to the day to day stuff. it is the thing that's going to bite us. >> i want to go back to what we just heard the president say today, which is what's his reaction to the u.n. report on climate change that was delivered to him this week and he says to those reporters, oh, i'm absolutely going to read it. now, your reporting seems to indicate there is very little chance the president is ever going to touch or see that document. >> he doesn't seem to be that interested in the government. the answer is that would seem unlikely that he's going to read the thing. but i think there is kind of a reason for it. he has shied away from actually embracing his job which is to run this operation. >> right. >> it's not being run. it's being run in a very haphazard way. he tells himself a very simple story, that it's

but really just in the administration in general this is an administration a president who are known for show is a not being the most progressive when it comes to women and women's issues and she was one of the most prominent people in the administration she was also a much more moderate republican she was a part of the establishment she as we heard she was a governor for six years before she took this job she was not a trump acolyte from the beginning she did not jump on the trump bandwagon right at the beginning of the campaign as so many of the of the president's advisors have been and are and were and but she was also someone who very much had the ear of the president in a way that a lot of other people did and they were very close we can see they're very close personally and she could really be one of those people who stood up to him and moderated his views especially when it came to the u.n. and a lot of the contentious relationships that exist there nonetheless she's leaving did anybody see this nikki haley's resignation. in brief no this came as a shock not only to the admini

but for the obama administration. ave a ray of good news. andrew brunson was held on the usual charges that the turks usually accuse foreigners of doing, that is being involved with the turkish cleric, and also the idea that brunson was in league with the kurdish separatists. so the usual stuff but finally he's been released. that is good news. there are other people of interest for the united states who are also being held but of course the real issue in the last couple of weeks or last week is this issue with the saudi journalist. >> i want to ask you about if this was a rallying cry for the secretary of state. you saw mike pompeo tweeting about the case of this pastor. the president is adamant he didn't brokary deal to get te b release. >> reporter: the president said there wasn't a deal but there certainly was a growing understanding between washington and ankara ahead of this. erdogan needed to find a way where he wasn't appearing to interfere with the judicial system. as you see, he was convicted and then release

the continued disarray for this administration." that doesn't exactly square the circle with the way the president did this, nikki haley said she's going to stay on until january of 2019. the president didn't just send out a piece of paper and she disappears in the middle of the night from the administration. this seems to be on the surface and orderly plan for her retirement and for somebody else to come in, so i'm not sure where the chaos in the disarray comes from. >> harris: what you're saying is the opposite of disarray and this from the party of women. i didn't hear that ringing endorsement and may be it's in further paragraphs are first paragraphs then what you've read. but certainly the opposite of disarray. >> let me just say that i have seen plenty of disarray in this white house, but this was not a case of that. the seem to be a case of an orderly transition. >> harris: you've given me some information to go forth with, i appreciate that, think he was always. going to bring in now the florida republican sitting in the hous

some articles say the administration is working. that is is collapsing oil, perts. other articles say the effect has been modest. i would assert that the results so far based on the figures i have today is that the results are modest as of now based on figures of oil exports from the end of september. now tonight it's october 31st, i do not have october figures. i will have those tomorrow, but the unfortunately the conference is today, the panel is today, i only have september 30th figures. based on those figures, so the figures are prior to the effective date of the reimposed sanctions which is next monday, november 5. but the september figures, the end of september figures already factor in purchase cuts. it's not like everybody is going to make their moves on monday. they have already started to make their moves in terms of oil exports from iran. the figures i have as of end of september show that iran's crude oil exports fell from about 2.45 million barrels a day, when mr. trump announced the exit from the nuclear deal, to about 1.6 million barrels per day at the

speak of the administration is showing confidence in the saudi government to conduct this investigation into a columnist who went into the saudi consulate in istanbul more than two weeks ago and never emerged. mike pompeo is also stressing the long-standing u.s.-saudi relationship. >> since 1932, we have a long, strategic relationship with the kingdom of saudi arabia. they have custody of the two holy sites, they are an important strategic alliance of the united states and we need to be mindful of that as well. >> the administration has also stressed the significant business relationship between the u.s. and saudi arabia. in a few weeks the administration is restoring sanctions on iran's oil industry and has pushed oil-producing allies like saudi arabia to help make up the difference. while the trump administration gives saudi arabia more time to reveal what happened to the columnist who never emerged, turkish media is reporting details indicating saudi responsibility and a connection to crown prince salman. a senior lawmakers are looking for information and a response from the administ

their behavior of the trump administration, the constant lies. it is hard for this woman to go over there church and here the idea that the truth will set you free what the trumpet ministration is lying and exaggerating. evangelical women are the voting block we think is going to make a difference, not only in that senate race in texas but across the country. remind ournt to viewers we will be covering that debate between ted cruz. on our republican line, kathleen. good morning. caller: good morning. i disagree heartily with this pastor. the only thing he seems to be talking about is the separation of families. what about when somebody in this country is convicted and they are separated. how many are really family? they have not taken the children. i heard talking say to them, all of you folks who are violently opposed to these people coming in and being separated, how many of you will take one family and your home, support them, pay their food spills pay their medical bills. why do you think it is to our right people come in illegally and, by th

i'm phil gale welcome to the program the trump administration has been hit by yet another resignation this time u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley she appeared alongside president trump at the white house to confirm the move but gave little away about the reasons behind her decision was haley is one of only a few of original trump appointees left and he's team she'll step down at the end of the year. the u.s. ambassador's resignation took many by surprise. nikki haley and u.s. president donald trump haven't always seen eye to eye but addressing the price after the announcement the two were singing each other's praises nikki haley ambassador to the united nations has been very special to me she's done an incredible job she's a fantastic person after he was appointed to the u.n. post in november two thousand and sixteen prior to that she was the first female governor of south carolina. the forty six year old was seen as one of the more central figures in the trump administration last month the forty six year old coordinated the president's second trip to the united nations includin

at the moment the administration doesn't have any enforcement put in place just yet. ght up that list price. that's considered the sticker price. often may not be the price that you and i would pay should we need these drugs. there's negotiations that are involved in that entire process. just yesterday the health administration secretary, who was on fox news, he spoke about the rule and the reasoning for it. listen in. >> the purpose is competition. the purpose is the patient in the driver's seat, knowledgeable with critical information. where else in our world do we go in and try to make a purchasing decision and we don't know the price of the product? we're bringing transparency so you know it. >> you mentioned the transparency compared to car ads and how you price cars. we know transparency for drugs according to a recent search polls very well with voters. the industry though is obviously upset, responding, saying that we don't necessarily want to do that. why don't we compromise and have the users and the viewers and the americans watching these advertisements go

>> it was done under the obama administration but the trumpet administration is defending the classification which you see sometimes not always but often even if they don't necessarily put the original policy in place. as a matter of kind of defending the federal prerogatives will defend an action of previous administration. >> what does this say on the larger case of epa related issues and wildlife classificationgu issues? >> is justice kavanagh were on the court i might have more to say about that because this is the kind of case we've been thinking about withn him coming to the court because he is somebody being on the d.c. circuit has dealt with the administrative agencies a lot and is made or declare he thinks agencies often go beyond their authority. we might've been looking very closely at hand. you know, with only eight justices on the court right now and probably eight justices when they decided, we may get fewer clues along m those lines and it may be the kind of thing that lends itself to some sort of consensus opinion. >> greg stohr with bloomberg news.. our first golf comes from

is that the timetable the administration is working with? >> i'm not going to get ahead of the president's meeting at a a hope it goes well. april, co-head. >> how important is that meeting? maybe the mine of the a lot of detail that comes from it in terms of going back and forth. >> as a present like to say we'll see what happens. not going to get head of the conversation. you have to of the most powerful leaders in the world. that's consequential and we'll see what happens when they sit down. april go ahead. >> in one tweet specifically called andrew gillam the democratic nominee for governor of florida the fifa. what is the definition of that statement? also want to ask about issue of voter suppression. the speeders individuals under fbi investigation i would refer you to that. under going to get into specifics on that matter because it involves two candidates running for office and i'm not going to impact that. i'll leave that to the president to make those types of statements. your second question. >> president talks about voter fraud at

>> again, it's unclear how the administration wants to handle the u.n. job. nida pknenina powell had been w the white house with the president. she worked on wall street, in the administration of george w. push. she's somebody who, i think, has -- is well positioned to take on a significant diplomatic role, and she's up in new york and it could potentially make sense. that's something being discussed. it could be somebody from the diplomatic corps. rotate them into that most senior of the u.s. ambassador roles. i think it's time to understand the way the u.s. views the u.n. of course, this all does happen in the shadow of john bolton's influence. john bolton is the national security adviser. he was sharply critical of the u.n. as an institution and used his ambassadorship in some ways to reorient the united states, vis-a-vis the u united nations. i think what nikki haley has done has been an advocate for foreign policy, but she's not been overly critical of the u.n. on the contrary, she's worked hard to cult fate with other diplomats serving in new york. she'

one of the things that the trump administration cares about. so let us look at those things and try to get a sense of whether these would be endangered, should the united states respond aggressively to what has happened. the first area the trump administration values is regional cooperation, in particular, on middle east peace, the u.s.-iran policy and syria. and on middle east peace, i think jared kushner is going to hope that saudi arabia will pressure the palestinians to accept less than what they have been seeking for decades. mbs himselfis that seems to be 40 with the possibility of endorsing the u.s. position, but in august, king salman came out and said that a two state solution should result in a fair and just equitable resolution to the refugee issue. so i doesn't seem like saudi arabia will be there when the administration needs it, to bless and endorse their peace plan. even if they did, i have doubts as to whether the palestinians would buckle under saudi pressure, given this is an existential issue for the palestinians. on syria, th

it puts on the administration could -- administration. arry: both parties in congress. robin: both have been vocal. , one of theually few issues in washington where there is bipartisan support, so really facesation a tough reality, and the turks have not made it easier, because even as mike pompeo was talking to president erdogan and the minister, the turks are releasing details of exactly what happened, the cutting off, allegedly, of jamal's fingers reportedly while he was still alive, then the forensic expert as the new york times reported saying to the others that they are dismembering his body, just listen to the music in your headphones. that kind of detail makes it very hard for the administration to say we will continue an open ended arms sales. i think there are a number of things they can do without diminishing relations, and that begins with the issue of arms sales and how long that will last. the saudis are dependent on the flow of weaponry from the u.s. to perpetuate the war. will that be on the table? i think the republicans o

one of the advantages of being the administrator is i have a unique advantage point. we not only serve the 130 million americans on medicare and medicaid but we also administered the healthcare exchanges in the marketplace created by the affordable care act which serves an additional 11 million beneficiaries. our goal is similar to many others. we want to provide high-quality accessible healt healthcare at e lowest possible cost and today i want to talk specifically about medicare which is one of the most important programs for seniors and the disabled. president trump is committed to preserving and strengthening medicare for the people the program serves and every action we take has been aimed at delivering on the nation's promise i do provide high-quality services to seniors who burned the benefits by paying for it throughout their entire lives. so let's start talking to two critical daycare programs, medicare advantage and the perception drug benefit. we've taken steps to strengthen medicare advantage which are highly popular plans that many in this audience offered

whether it to the administration, the saudis, the turks, anyone who will listen. because -- >> and this is normally a thing where "the washington post" would have a receptive ear at the state department and at the white house. >> right. and in fact, you wouldn't have to demand that the president of the united states say something, that the administration would say something about not just the disappearance and possible murder of someone who was living in the united states but also a journalist. freedom is like the bedrock of american democracy. freedom of it press is essential. journalists are the only people -- journalism is the only profession protected in the constitution. we are a beacon for other nations around the world because of freedom of the press. the governed willing to be held accountable -- the governing willing to be held accountable by the people through the press. and the fact that a journalist, an opinion writer for a major american newspaper has gone missing and possibly murdered and there is relative silence from the president of the united sta

a question of course of the judgment of the trump administration. politics. >> dickerson: susan, the president came out said this is about jobs potentially. he says 110 billion in orders t already booked, but that that is really what he said i wouldn't want to do anything that would endanger that.therolicy makers y have other views on whether -- what price are you willing to put on the life of a u.s. resident who is dissident journalist who is lured to his country's embassy and then dismembered, we believe. and with the idea that there may be recordings of this, i think escalates. it's been no surprise to anybody in washington that saudi arabia has very questionable record when it comes to human rights. but is this a bridge too far when it comes to these contrac contracts. you saw the discomfort in your interview with marco rubio with the way the president had expressed this concern of these contracts override whatever you might want to do to sanction saudi arabia if this is indeed what happened. >> dickerson: jonah, where do you think this fits in a

what kind of pressure are you trying to put on the administration? >> so under existing global human rights law passed by the congress and signed by the president, the rking democrat and the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee have the ability to ask theti administ to come to a finding on a potential gross violatioof human rights abroad, and that's what this letter asks, for the president to make a determination as to whether jamal khashoggi was indeed executed by the saudis, egedas been all now, i think you have to take this letter with a grain of salt because it is asking the administration that has shown very little interest in getting to the bottom of thistory, to come up with a definitive finding, whichhey may be unlikely to do, but at least it requires the administration toh now go throa process by which they will have to medo so fact-finding to discover whether, as we believe, the saudis executed this journalist. >> schifrin: that process last about 120 days. as i understand it, do you expect or perhaps do you hope that sanctions

we are seeking the extent to which the administration plans things in advance. it's much harder to pull together individual pieces into print and it is to deal with as a public to deal with things that are being announced at the outset. please tell us your name and ask a question. >> in your presentation i heard a couple of things in broad terms people are coming for the american dream and i also heard he talked about we are not alone it is happening all over the place. some people are leaving the in large part with the u.s. has had involvement so where we look at this it is a central american crisis and that is due because of the long history so where is the responsibility to address that and the other part is the demographic changes in how we move forward on the immigration how do we move forward when the dominant culture how do we put that foreign policy on something that happened to the u.s. budget goes out and interferes in that process there are consequences and collateral damage so if you can speak to that initiative. >> are you addressing the question to

this is due to be a news line from berlin another shock resignation from the trump administration this time as nikki haley stepping down the u.s. ambassador to the united nations she met with president trump at the white house a short while ago and will leave her post at the end of the year also coming up saudi arabia yields to international pressure it says turkish authorities can search its consulate in istanbul one week after the disappearance of a dissident journalist there c.c.t.v. images taken outside the building is reportedly the last public sighting of jamal khashoggi now missing without a trace and the brutal rape and murder of a television journalist in vogue area her death has sparked international concern over print safety in the corruption prone new country. it's a pleasure to have you with us where we start this broadcast with some breaking news out of washington where nikki haley u.s. president donald trump's ambassador to the united nations says she's resigning haley was appointed to the u.n. post in november two thousand and sixty last month the forty six year old cou

the city will be in the city administrator and the city administrator is responsibility for hiring the facilitator. during 2018-2019, the committee will be funded by funds from the department of public health. the budget for this committee for the fiscal year 2019-2020, is part of an annual budget discussion. this oversight committee will help to advise the board on amendments to the current legislation, the situation of new amendments and the overall health of the cannabis industry in san francisco and the effectiveness of our current policies to meet the goals set forth by this board. like all article 5 advisory bodies to the board of supervisors, the board of supervisors select the voting members of this committee. i am proposing some amendments to this ordinance. and as you can see i will walk them through -- i will walk you through them right now if that is okay. and as we see the first one is on page 3, line 4, we're adding a nine voting seat for the entertainment commission. line 3, page 3, line 6, adding a non-voting seat for the fire department. and page 3, line 17, this seat

i hope the trump administration fully appreciates this vital linkage. diminishing, for example, the value of arms control and placing all faith in one dimensional conceptions of increasing nuclear strength to brink the russians and the chinese to heel will result in a far more dangerous strategic environment. i also want to remind the administration that bipartisan support for nuclear modernization is tied to maintaining an arms control process that controls and seeks to reduce russian nuclear forces, which inevitably means promoting military and fiscally responsible policies on ourselves. we're not interested in writing blank cheksz for a nuclear arms race with russia and we don't want to step off our current path of stability to wander again the uncertain road filled with potentially dire consequences and the final note i'd make, mr. chairman, i guess we have enough people now to vote is that i hope that as part of our oversight, which i applaud you for having conducted with these hearings, that we will also get to -- an opportunity to mark up dasca an

the trump administration abandon the obama administration's use of a program that was 97% effective inssuring appearance. now there's a merely choice they have is to keep them in immigration jail or two separate. that is absolutely wrong. they can release these asylum seeking families underer supervision.n. amy: what are these kids and families facing? why it caret would make the decisionon to remain separated from their child because they feel for the child lives? >> take this one father we want to see. we said we want to come see you. we will see you anytime for the day. he said, i can't get off work stuff we said we will, night. they said, no, they gangs have close down the town. i am not allowed out of my house. you certainly can't come here. this is the danger. what parent would live in -- willingly give up their child? lot you were in san diego a bigger shooting with the government. >> and in court. amy: trying to get the government to release the children. the first set under five and then the others going up into the teen years. what wasn't the government giving you? and what i

and the administration is weighing different options. make an announcement about what the decision of that is. >> is he considering any actual action? >> like i just said, the administration is considering what action we'll take moving on that based information and the briefing that the president received last week. to go back to the tone question. the president said he was planning to tone down his this week. but in his rallies, since those suspicious packages began being president had been called -- he stood there as a supporter -- [inaudible] >> he continues to call crooked hillary clinton. will the president stop using that kind of language in light of the fact that these individuals were targeted? >> the president is going to continue to draw contrasts. let's not forget that these same have repeatedly attacked the president, whether it was eric holder saying kick when they're down, whether it was hillary clinton saying you can't be civil until control ofave congress or whether it was max encouraged her supporters to get up -- those a

this is in terms of the pressure it puts on the administration. the republicans have been tougher i think vocally out france and the democrat have and one of the few issues in washington there is bipartisan support may be the only one and so the administration faces a tough reality. even as mike pompeo was talking to the foreign minister, they are releasing details of what happened, the cutting off allegedly of his fingers while he was still alive, and then the forensic expert saying to the others as they are dismembered and his body just listen to the music in your headphones. that kind of detail makes it hard for the administration to say we are going to continue an open-ended arms sale. there is a number of things they can do without cutting off relations and that begins with the issue of arms sales and how long that will last. but they are dependent on the flow of weaponry to perpetuate the world. will that be on the table, and i think the republicans on the hill wanted very much to be. >> i think it is that kind of detail and others that have

look what happened in the obama administration. or nominee who died, passed away waiting for a vote by tom cotton. >> i know. >> and lastly, pivoting talking about the russian investigation. rod rosenstein saw a piece in bloomberg indicating it was all but wrapped up sits down for a rare interview with the "wall street journal" saying people are entitled to be frustrated. i accept that. nodding to attacks on the conservatives and republicans. end of the day rosenstein continues the public will have confidence the cases brought were warranted by evidence and appropriate use of resources. your takeaway from that? again, an extraordinary interview and he doesn't do a lot of them. >> a man who you may remember cameras were trained on him not that long ago on the fear/assumption he was going to the white house to be fired. what all eyes are on, what happens after the midterms? presumably rosenstein aware of discontent within the justice department sashgs portative as a career professional of the work mueller is doing is trying to lay a f

i've been happy to support the administration. ihe have 69% support with the trump administration on a number of different issues and that is regulations on these kinds of issues where i agree with what they're doing in both of those cases are doing the right thing. >> we are almost closing statements but quickly one minute each. congressman peterson, the most pressing issues facing this combination. >> the most pressing issue is trying to figure out how we can work togetherre again and not be so divided. it's within the congress, the house, in these elections. not able to get anything together to do what needs to be done for the people. this is what i hear from my constituents all the time. how are you going to get this back together so you can work together again. when i came in 1991 there was a whole different world and has continued to get worse and worse and worse because they have taken the power away from the committees and they've consolidated it up at the leadership level inwa both parties. this is part of it's caused all
