white house. well, i don't really have firsthand knowledge. i mean, tom kind of sheltered a lot of the senate from what was going on on the white house. but one thing that i suspect is that at least initially of tom's revolution scenario, ideas fit in with the president's ideas. what was wrong with the three national broadcasts networks? and when tom said, look, my initiatives, whether they're satellite or whether they're cable, we are going to cut back on the power of those networks. we're going to permit competition with them. and i think that resonated not for policy reasons, maybe for political and personal reasons with the white house. they only initiative that ultimately he took that really didn't fit, that was breaking up. at&t and i have no idea how he convinced white house to go ahead with the antitrust super. thank you, henry. and i should say that what you what just said comports with the understanding that i gained over the years from talks with tom and several people that had been at white house and involved in these debates that there were a

sumi: joining me now is tom bateman, our state department correspondent covering the story from washington. good to see you. what has the whiteaid about what this threat could look like? tom: two things are going on because there's a public messaging like the kind of thing we heard from the president, similar to what he said a couple days ago in the rose garden that they expect a significant attack or they are worried about a significant attack on israel from iran. and that they are closely watching the situation. then, there has been a lot of behind the scenes messaging going on, both from the white house and other parts of the u.s. administration. that has been a lot more focused and specific. for example, it has been things like from two official story to cbs about this could be, and the words of one of these unnamed officials, a missile strike from iran onto israeli soil involving up to 150 cruise missiles. why are we getting those very specific leaks and briefing of information? i think it is because the u.s. wants to make clear that it knows of a range of possibilities that the iranians are looking at, but it does not k

collapsed early last last week, those families have been working with the government led by tom perez, who is the white house. is head of intergovernmental affairs to get some closure on the situation asking for it, things like humanitarian parole so that they can come from other countries, from their home countries to the united states. and in one case, perez tells cnn, he's been asked to repatriate the body. he says he's working with four different countries on those efforts and working with us citizenship and immigration services all in all, it is all hands on deck, very robust multi-pronged effort so far, the department of transportation has greenlit $60 which cnn has told is just the initial tranche of what this is going to cost. but that they're trying to remove red tape and remove regulatory barriers to get that money in the hands of the officials who need it. as soon as possible, guys. >> all right. kayla tausche live from baltimore. thank you. boris. >> today, president biden is also navigating the fallout from israel's deadly strike on an aid convoy earlier this week just after he demanded th

kimberly how good, thanks for that update from the white house. so tom, but accounts as a professor public policy, it's kind of been totally fine for us. any joining us here and cuts are welcome back to elgin 0. do you think that this assassination is a major setback for they talks? well, it must be, it's a, it's happening at the time when they were just about revisiting the folks at the start a few days ago. and it does feel as if it has been specifically done to do that. and we have had, we have seen overall over the last 10 days or so the motor of ty, turning against the 10 yahoo and his condition across the world. and we discussed this a couple of days ago that i feel this time of the negotiation. he has most to lose, he has to climb down more then how much has to in order to reach the agreement for a ceasefire, whether it's temporary or permanent phase or all of that done in one phase. and this of course will affect it. and the discussion is now going around whether we do cease fire immediately, cease fire, or rephrase it over a few weeks, which i t

white as that? is it now a binary choice? robert: toms a great writer but it is far more complex than that. there are so many details here. in some ways they are intertwined. the interesting saudi's have you normalization is very important. also the fact that in response to the iranian air attacks, they marshaled the resources of the saudis, egyptians at others. they have an interest in security of israel we have not seen before. certainly in my time we would have never have seen this. so there is progress being made and it is not exactly a minor choice. but the israelis i think are coming to realize tt there is no way to declare absolute theory here. and once that cold reality sinks in i think there is going to be a coming to terms with what can be done rather than what they would like to have done. christian: can i explore that a little more? obviously public opinion in saudi arabia it would be opposed to normalizing relations. but we understand saudi arabia would receive advanced weapons and security guarantees. can you explain to us

at the white house, we heard from her- white house, we heard from her state department correspondent tomme his analysis of president biden�*s recent criticisms of the israeli prime minister. criticism, yes. he said he thought benjamin netanyahu was making a mistake and that the israelis should agree to a cease—fire at least for six weeks in order to basically fly the gods with humanitarian supplies and food and medicine. i would say that this interview was recorded last week and with univision and the spanish—language broadcaster here in the us and is broadcasted today. we're hearing with mr biden said in the interview that it was recorded as crucial moment because it was after the israeli air strike in central kitchen which killed seven aid workers but before the phone call last week between president biden and benjamin netanyahu truly became this defining moment over the last six months mr biden really upped the pressure of israelis and thought he would consider us policies and benjamin netanyahu didn't act to reverse the humanitarian catastrophe in gaza and is the hours of that phone

white house. that invokes the insurrection act. to get some like tom cotton who is in the senate.e president. use the insurrection act. one of the ironies in this conversation. that you have the hypocrisy of tom cotton. back in 2022. tom cotton criticized the canadian prime minister justin trudeau for invoking emergency powers to deal with the trucker convoy. it was blocking traffic against covid-19 vaccine mandates. tom cotton was upset. the canadian prime minister was using a special power to break up these traffic protests. but as you said. he has no problem with ordinary citizens taking matters into their own hands. to go after acts of civil disobedience. >> absolutely. republicans are amplifying violence. they want to see it happen. he is taking cues ironically from the state of florida. ron desantis himself onkyo argued for vehicular homicide of individuals who are protesting during the blm and the murder of george floyd. this is not new. they are only amplifying the violence that they want to see across america. of course utilizing their first amendment rights. against whit

ari fleischer, former white house secretary, also a fox news contributor. and tommer deputy attorney general. gentlemen, great to see you. tom, i'm going to come to you first and just talk kind of at 37,000 feet about this case. your view? >> well, my view, harris, this has been a slow developing case. the prosecutor spent the first week giving us a lot of information about the shadowy world of new york tabloids. but they didn't score a lot of direct hits on trump. now we have moved into the phase of the case where maybe we are getting a step closer. we heard a lot from the banker who was dealing with michael cohen and heard a lot about the shadowy world of michael cohen and how he operates and how difficult he is to deal with. we still did not get that direct link connecting trump to this payment that would put him squarely in the crosshairs of criminal jeopardy. i think the prosecutors are say saving that for another day. i got to say we have heard about a week of testimony so far. i suspect the jury is going to start demanding pretty soon some direct evidence of

it's tom cotton as the secretary of defense and tkach patel running the white house.rd here, particularly in domestic policy is very clear. are rich people going to get a tax cut? that's the subject of this week. are they going to get a tax cut if trump is president and it's a republican congress? yeah. that's not theoretical. >> right. >> it's the one thing they did the last time. >> that's right. >> it's also not popular. >> yeah. >> that's the other thing. a lot of this stuff, when you tell people, you poll them, remind them, these are not majority positions. >> well, i mean, the thing is -- and the tax cut -- i'm glad you mentioned it. when donald trump was at this ritzy fund-raiser at the hedge fund guy's house. you're wealthy. i got you a tax cut, i'm going to get you another one. yet he retains a populist image and his base continues to be white working class and some non-white working class voters. can you make sense of that? >> i never have been able to. the only way i can make sense of it is to take that category of trump voters and slice them up into the pe

tom symonds, bbc news, wimbledon. now, ever wondered what time it is on the moon? well, the whiteial body. the aim is to set international norms in space, ahead of moves for a more permanent presence there. moon time is different from earth time because of its weaker gravity, as gary o'donoghue reports from washington. what time is it on the moon? the problem is, no—one really knows. and that's why the clock is ticking for nasa, which has two years to come up with a time standard and get the rest of the world to agree to it. we leave it. we came, and, god willing, as we shall return. it's been more than 50 years since the last manned moon landing, and with missions planned by several countries in the coming decade, time is running out to get a standard agreed. you might think, why notjust use universal coordinated time? afterall, it's agreed on everywhere. but, not so fast. it turns out that moon time is a little bit faster than earth time. so if you had a clock down here and one up there, the one up there — over a 50 year period — would be about a second faster. einstein's law of

tom, thank you very much indeed . as mark white was just indeed.te was just explaining, the war cabinet in israel are meeting, they'll be deciding what to do. what do you suspect they will decide? >> well, it's impossible to know. and it may be that israel simply decides to carry out another series of attacks targeting iranian proxies or the irgc and their infrastructure in places like syria . or it could places like syria. or it could be that they decide that since there's been a direct attack on israeli territory, they will directly attack iranian territory. i think for the israelis, what they're going to be thinking about is how to establish and maintain deterrent to iran, because although there has been conversations here about not escalating, i think israel is very aware that ever since october the 7th, iran has been escalating because it's ultimately inconceivable that something like october the 7th and that massacre could have happened without iranian support. and what we've seen from western policy is an attempt for a number of years now, g

you have a guy like donald trump returned to the white house, someone who invokes the insurrection act to shoot protesters that may be getting you may get tomhing, use the insurrection act. one of the ironies in this conversation is that you have got hypocrisy of tom cotton, you know, back in 2022 tom cotton criticized then canadian prime minister justin trudeau for invoking power to deal with the trucker convoy that was blocking traffic to protest against covid vaccine mandates. back then tom cotton was upset that the canadian prime minister was using his special powers to break up these traffic protest. as you said, this time around, he has no problem with ordinary citizens taking matters into their own hands to go after acts of civil disobedience. >> absolutely. republicans are amplifying the violent mobs. they want to see it happen. they're taking cues from what we have seen in the state of florida where ron desantis also argued for vehicular homicide of individuals who were protesting during the trey griffey in the wake of the murder of george floyd. this is not new for this group. they are only amplifying the violence i want to see ac

up adding my main point to the white house is how can you declare that regulations written in the 1930's will work fine for 2014 technology? it's a good question. let tomjob and this will be fine except the white house did not let the fcc chair do his job. the president intervened. he flipped them. reflecting on the white house campaign while testifying before congress, fcc chairman wheeler was asked about president obama's november 10th announcement and whether it had an impact on the title 2 debate at the fcc, he testified, of course, it did. continuing he said, when jeff zines came to me said this is what the president is going to do that was substantial significance. the testimony is true. emails confirm that the fcc stopped the presses on its compromise or hybrid approach, delayed the vote and quickly went to work drafting a decision that went full title 2 just as the president had demanded. chairman wheeler would later write an e-mail where he described this episode of demascus road experience. now ever since president obama flippedsi chairman wheeler, thee has been no turning back. title 2 is now just a matter of civic religion for activists on

the predominantly whitejury, then predominantly white jury, then deemed predominantly whitejury, then deemed to have carried out the murders. quite mike tomth us. hello, there. the weather we've got over the next couple of days is really quite unusualfor april. if we take a look at this anomaly chart, the redder the colours, the more unusual the heat is, and as you can see, we're towards the top end of this scale. how warm is it going to get? well, some places could see temperatures around 21 degrees celsius. for example, around greater london. temperatures for quite a few areas will be around six or seven degrees celsius above average for the time of year. and the reason we've got this mild flow of air is down to the jet stream pattern, which is bringing mild and quite humid air up from near the azores. now, it might be mild, but it's not necessarily sunny. the best of the sunshine today has been across the midlands, northwards across northern england into scotland. however, it stays pretty cloudy for southern and western wales, southern parts of england with occasional spots of drizzle around, particularly towards coastal areas. and for

tom bateman has more. well, after the meeting wrapped up well, after the meeting wrapped up we have a short statement from the whitehat was discussed. we always knew this was going to be about the issue of rafah and the repeated declaration by mr netanyahu over recent weeks that there will be an offensive against the city of rafah. the israelis say because there are four hamas battalions there, they say the war can't and without it, in its words, eliminating those battalions. the americans have said they basically do not support a full scale ground assault because of the fact that there are 1.4 million palestinians in the city displaced people, many living outside intense, people sent south earlier on in the war. in the fact that there is nowhere for these people to go. but the fact is this meeting itself has become part of the growing rift between the biden administration and mr netanyahu's government when the israeli delegation was due to come to washington last week, that was cancelled by mr netanyahu in protest at the us abstaining at the un security council on that boat which called for a ceasefire, an immedia

white house is literally breaking the border laws. but right to former u.s. assistant attorney andy mccarthy and tom dupree joining us. andrew and tom, first to you, andrew. there's a big flaw, a huge problem with the case this. is why it should be thrown out. andrew, tell me if i'm wrong. how can manhattan da bragg prosecute trump for federal campaign felonies for allegedly trying to steal the 2016 election from hillary clinton with hush money payments to stormy daniels when bragg's own indictments said all the alleged books and records charges happened way after that election in 2017. isn't that a fatal flaw, andrew? >> yeah, i think it is, liz. he's trying to cover it up with a couple of theories. one is that he was in a speeds with david pecker of national inquirer and michael cohen and catch unemployment reigns leading and unflattering stories about trump and bury them and that went on from 2015 through the election into 2017. what that ignores is that as you just pointed out, every one of the 34 counts and this is like one misdemeanor transaction that bragg parsed into 34 felony counts. but every one of them occ
