trigger points how important were they to the two thousand and fifteen deal and why does president trant have a problem with it. well i think the key thing about the the areas that will be in the trigger points most of them are things that were not in the international deal the international deal was a very complex document one hundred fifty nine pages but the basic deal was quite simple iran suspends its plans to get a nuclear weapon in return for the international community including the u.n. and the u.s. to suspend all the sanctions related to the nuclear program there are other things though that the u.s. doesn't like that iran's doing like its ballistic missiles program like its involvement in other countries in the region and the administration talks particularly about syria and yemen so those are potential trigger points they could put into new legislation also one of the things in the nuclear deal they don't like is the so-called sunset clauses some parts of the deal run out after ten or fifteen years so that is again something they want fixed by this new legislation that they wa

another thing this president has done, we used to have over 26 recalls trant countries. these are countries that refuse to take back their people. and we have a supreme court ruling that we can only detain for six months. so if they don't give us a travel document in six months, they've got to be released to reoffend. these are some serious criminals. we're down to 11 or 12 now. we just sent notice to these countries saying you'd better change your ways or we're going to look at sanctions. this president has taken this on headstrong. we have less recalls trant sanctions and we're actually doing visa sanctions on countries that don't cooperate with us. they have a responsibility to take them back. they're not supposed to be here. they've been ordered to be removed and we need to remove them and this president takes that seriously. we also asked for changes from the ninth circuit. surprising. illegal activity will decrease as icons to deterrence to that activity. we all learned that as kids. and i truly believe that. when we had these families coming across the border, onc

laura trant visted the couple in pagham near bognor regis, and sent this report. like, it could bea dream hope might look like, it could be a bit quirky, this all seems ordinary but that is not the case, because here we have two railway carriages, dating back from 1885. and they have been a much loved home for 23 years. when we walked in, i said quietly tojohn, i could live here. it was, you know, we were that much younger and far more enthusiastic perhaps than we are with are now and we just got on with it. when i took the floor coverings up, it. when i took the floor coverings up, seven it. when i took the floor coverings up, seven layers of line know, then we found where people had trodden through the doors for years and it was worn away. it started to become a bit more interesting as we went along. that is what has got us into it. the carriages are the centrepiece with the platform running through the middle. the details make for historical yet homely feel. there are lots of clues about the history. like this on the hinge. it says mrco. it is not that rare to

. >> i'm joined by business insider political correspondent natasha bare trant who's been covering this and msnbc contributor and former fbi agent, author of "how to catch a russian spy." what's the significance of this? >> it's the first known instance that we've seen where the trump campaign directly reached out to wikileaks during the election. we saw that trump throughout the entire election was praising wikileaks, was telling russia to please find these 33,000 missing e-mails. and if true, which julian assange said that this was accurate that the ceo did reach out to him and wikileaks basically denied their overtures. that indicates that someone with a very important prominent role in the trump campaign, really the beating heart was trying to conclude with julian assange who has been characterized as a tool of the kremlin. >> give us a timeline of when this outreach was taking place, what point in the campaign. >> we don't know exactly when this happened. cambridge an lit ka was hired in june 2016 and the e-mail was supposedly sent in late july right after the republican national c

puerto rican officials that they should be proud that thousands of lives were lost in hurrican maria trant controversially compared the disaster to what he called a real catastrophe like katrina when on his first official visit to puerto rico where during that visit trump said that puerto rico's debt may have to be written off earlier this year the u.s. territory filed the biggest bankruptcy in u.s. municipal history with debts amounting to seventy two billion dollars he told one u.s. news agency we're going to have to wipe that out you're going to have to say goodbye to that. the king of spain has intervened in the crisis of a catalonia describing sunday's to session referendum as illegal undemocratic earlier hundreds of thousands of catalans demonstrated against a violent security crackdown during the vote of the us state department has ordered the expulsion of fifteen cuban diplomatic staff and has given them seven days to leave the country it comes after the u.s. reduced its staff at its embassy in cuba unexplained injuries to american personnel that. after justice next. this is the st

laura trant, bbc news.re we'll see some of the higher temperatures. tomorrow the cooler irish will push further southwards. sunshine for northern ireland and scotland with one or two showers across the far north—west. we'll keep this zone of cloudier weather across southern counties for much of the day. the cloud thick enough for a spot of light rain or drizzle. the fresher airfeeding light rain or drizzle. the fresher air feeding south wards during wednesday afternoon. this is bbc news, our latest headlines. the president of the european council, donald tusk has said the eu must stay united or face ‘defeat‘ in brexit talks — and that the outcome of deal negotiations was "up to london". england's nhs hospitals have been told they could carry out 280—thousand more operations annually by making better use of operating theatre time. officials say poor scheduling means around two hours a day in surgical time is lost. harvey weinstein's former assistant says she is breaking a confidentiality agreement to speak o

i see why the presentation by john kelly today, but i did read the trants crypt. and in just reading the words i was wondering is john kelly not only commenting on society as a whole, but is he also sending a message to his boss? >> he was very careful in how he phrased things so it could be interpreted that the president would be included in on the critique that he was making. >> yeah. the thing that i found interesting his comments about president trump asking him how he should deal with these calls. and i agree with admirable kirby that, you know, when you're told how to handle it, the way you handle it between members who are in uniform who have lost a son versus someone, a president reaching out to a family would be very different. i don't want to judge that, but i think it was interesting the way john kelly parsed his words today. i don't want to put anything in his mouth. i don't want to judge him, but i think, i hope he was sending as much of a message about presidential leadership to his boss as he was about the divisiveness in the country. because i thin
