good of you tojoin us. do good of you to join us. ou to join us. do you think this action has completely changed 01’ this action has completely changed or signalled a change to president trump's strategy in syria? i ask you because do you think he might now go further and enforce things like no—fly zones, etc? it is unclear at this point. i would be inclined to say no. the one way in which i think president trump could escalate actions in syria is the question of — are these the only chemical weapons left in syria? and if they haven't been destroyed, then how does the united states guarantee that the chemical weapons convention has been enforced which might raise thorny questions down the road. i think that's the part where it is unclear. also it should be noted that the administration has been somewhat unclear as to whether or not what this means going forward. rex tillerson said one thing, the secretary of state, secretary of defence said something else. but truthfully we need to see how syria reacts to this and how russia reacts as

>> does have a direct effect on us and that is the issue. isis wants him do us harm. al qaeda finding in their region means to do us harm. these are folks that have planned and correlated and prepared attacks to be able to come and the big issue with syria still is iran. iran is trying to form what they call their crescent running everything from lebanon all the way to yemen. they are a direct threat when t they move into syria and a right next to israel. if you want to be with the stabilize the democracy and the eight area like israel and stay with allies there keep living unstable, stable as was happening. you've got to be able to stabilize what's happening in syria. >> tucker: up next, lansing, michigan, just made itself a sanctuary city besides mornings, they will lose federal funds. they've accidentally been breaking the water in flint. went from senator to the president very fast with very little vetting from the press.y a new biography coming out next month, talks about his life before the senate. got new details on that. stay tuned. senate. stay tuned. senate.

is doing way, the jobs market tight, that the us economy is doing way, thejobs market tight, low thatemployment numbers and inflation, the price moves month on month, year on year, starting to pick up closer at to the vet's all. if the us stays... i know we have thejobs number on friday which was disappointing but typically the jobs numbers have been strong, many will say us employment is pretty full, if the us continues on a healthy track at could there be a third? the feds, one of their fraser says they are data dependent, they are tracking it as it comes in and if it looks strong, maybe there is a chance for three more hikes, making it four on the year. there is a talk about the technical aspect, maybe they will only do two but able to get their balance sheets, see if they are buying more assets and it's reminding us as investors do combinations of monetary is or two that they can use. it becomes ever more evident of the different routes that central bank are taking, in europe you have a different picture to the united states. exactly, the european central bank is taking a hands—of

we put that complaint to bbc news, who told us... doghts on the use of social media by bbc news, any aspect of the bbc‘s election coverage, or, indeed, anything that concerns you or delights you which you see on news bulletins, programmes or online. stay tuned for details of how to get in touch with us. now, of course, the battle for seats in westminster is not the only election around at the moment. on monday, lucy williamson reported from paris following the first round of voting for france's new president. two years ago, he was a new face in politics. in two weeks, he could be the new president of france. last night, emmanuel macron arrived for his victory speech with his wife, brigitte. 2a years older than him, she was once his drama teacher. but one comment made there, and not infrequently elsewhere in the coverage, annoyed margaret vandecasteele, who wondered... "why was it felt necessary to mention that the french election winner emmanuel macron had a wife who was 2a years older than him?" richard spooner agreed, calling the refe

will the us do we want to achieve? will the us do it alone or use the g7 to achieve consensus? ngs move the markets up or down? actually not, it used to be important during the crisis, since then g7 and g20 meetings haven't achieved much. this time it could actually matter, it could give us some insight on what is next in syria, which would have implications directly through oil prices and affecting risk sentiment. obviously where we're going in terms of international trade is very important so markets actually will be watching this meeting much more than in the past. i want to wrap this up, athanasios, but i do wonder if the g7 holds any weight any more, it is meant to be the seven biggest economies in the world but where is india and china? they are meant to be adults in the room but they are not always acting as adults and some emerging markets, the kids, are now grown—ups. emerging markets, the kids, are now grown-ups. athanasios, thanks for joining us. i thought heslehurst was tough enough! i'm just playing, he isa tough enough! i'm just playing, he is a regular with us! wh

world to help us do that and, as i said, our first consideration was for the athletes and that is whylogy. now if you make a mistake and officials miss it, you may think that should be the end of the story. but for lexi thompson, on the verge of winning one of women's golf major tournaments, she was penalised in herfinal round after a tv viewer spotted an infringement the previous day. 0ur sports correspondent, andy swiss, reports. just imagine it. you are on course for the winner of your life, just a few homes from glory but lexi thompson's dream was about to become a nightmare. the reason, this moment from her previous round. look closely, she marks a ball, picks it up closely, she marks a ball, picks it up and then puts it down in a fractionally different place, which is against the rules. no one noticed at the time but a tv viewer spotted it, alerted officials who then interrupted her final round to give her a four shot penalty. is this a joke? no, it is not. that is ridiculous. thomson was in tears. instead of two shots ahead she was to be had. this belief shared by the watching

and then i hope when you see us doing something that doesn't make sense you'll tell us. when you see us doing something you think we ought to do more of, you'll tell us that as well. and it will be met with an attitude of humility. so focusing in a better way our work and how to get our best talent is the first part of our strategy. >> the second part is that we need to make sure that we, inside the government, have our act together in such a way that it doesn't matter to whom a victim of an intrusion or a cryptoware attack or some other attack it doesn't matter who they tell in the federal government. we're in that place when it comes to counter terrorism. you walk up to an f.b.i. agent, a deputy sheriff, a police officer with a piece of information about counter terrorism, terrorism threat. it will get to the right place very, very quickly. it doesn't matter who you tell. we've got to get to that place inside the federal government. we made a lot of progress on that trying to understand the rules of the road. but we still have work to do. the third thing we're trying t

right now, what price transparency do any of us have? and what incentive do we as health care consumers have to choose surgery at the surgery center compared to going to the hospital? we actually don't see any of those price transparency. host: you have legislation you are working on concerning crowdsourcing. of environmental data. guest: this was something we started on a few years ago. the original idea was to crowd source information for financial markets. we had some trouble sort of explaining that, so we moved ino -- what would happen your community if you had a number of citizens that had sensors attached to their phones, and you crowd sourced environmental data and you could see it on a gis map. and sayd be able to see hey, we have something going on over here. let's go and mitigate that. is it someone spray painting cars in an urban area in their backyard? that is someone who is never , not a part of the regulatory regime, but is still polluting the neighborhood. can we use these supercomputers in our pockets to move to a crowdsou

they elected to us do what this bill does and frankly to do even more. so let's just get this passed. >> sandra: snapshot of what the american people do want. this is the latest views we have seen on obamacare, fox news polling. repealing entirely 26%. 31% want to repeal parts of it. 25% want to expand it 16% want to leave it as is. so a majority want to replace some or all of obamacare. >> right. right. san san that's a really interesting statistic to look at at this point in the game. >> the democrats are thinking about shutting down the government because they want to keep obamacare. that makes no sense to me. focus on what the american people sent to us do. what they elected us to do. what we told them we were going to do. this is a good first step. get this passed and get it to the senate and keep working so we can make sure -- >> sandra: do you have enough votes now, congressman? >> i think we are close. you would have to ask the whip that question. i do think we are really close. when the freedom caucus come on board that brought a lot of votes to

is getting involved in that and until we see what they do on some of the things that may preclude us doing anything in that area, but that's what i would expect to be spending some time on. some of those things are controversial. there will be a lot of noncontroversial things that come up in the meantime. >> how involved was the senate judiciary committee be in investigating political abuses of pfizer courts and intelligence reports -- fisa courts and intelligence reports? >> right now i think we will wait until our subcommittee gets done with their investigation and see what that leads us to before i make decision on the full committee. what you're talking about shirley is going to be brought up with the oversight hearings on the attorney general and the fbi director, but it comes to mind that there must be some reauthorization so maybe in connection with the reauthorization there would be investigations, but i would rather say at this point the hearing as opposed to an investigation. >> are you concerned that if there was political espionage during the obama administration using the surv

country is different, and issue is different we're talking about a nation that we -- i cannot imagine us doing the same thing to any other sovereign nation, and expeditiously as united states moved last week to strike syria, an undefended airbase, spending a million and a half dollars a missile to do so, we have a secretary of state, u.n. ambassador and national security advisory who den don't agree what it was. >> i acknowledge that problem, i can imagine strikes again north korea nuclear weapon program. fact is -- lou: that is not -- that is not what this administration said, they were talking about they would not tolerate, being the world's policemen, doing what president campaigned against. >> that is why -- lou: a police. >> maybe i am wrong, i would defer to your knowledge of the president's mood, my sense is that he reacted to a very specific threat, let's be clear there are american servicemen and women on the ground in syria, we think hundreds are known publicly it may be more who are in danger. lou: now it is for security add that to the list. >> nope, i think that -- for 100 years,

next do you see the iranians trying to use nonstate proxies as a force of influence? >> certainly, in each of those places. >> what do we do to push back or to deal with that? making sure we understand we have to have our partners be enormous assets in assisting us in doing that whether it's the work they can do in certain places that israel can help us, the places the other gulf states can provide assistance. assistance think of they think of if they can put a battalion or two in the real. greatare nations with capacity to reach into places that america cannot always reach. we have other allies, the europeans for whom the threat from iran is great and i'm confident they can assist us as well. i would argue that something like the activities taken last week in syria would have to have been noticed by the iranians. >> very good. partytalk about another that map paid attention to that, north korea. >> i want to clean that up a little bit. but not much. i may double down into trouble. what i mean by that is, this was the decision-making process that thoughtful, and truly

do with how we get information. so i see what people think. i think a lot of usho have been in politics for a while do see a change from 20 years ago, certainly 30 years ago, where it used to be everybody kind of had the seame information. and we had different opinions about it, but we had the same base of facts. and the internet has accelerated this sense of people having entirely separate conversations, and if this generation is getting all of its information through its phones, that you really don't have to confront people who have different opinions. or have a different experience. or a different outlook. if you're liberal, then you're on msnbc and conservative, if you're reading wall street jurnal or the "new york times," or, you know, whatever your choices are. maybe you're just looking at cat videos, which is fine. >> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. he's hiding a card! it's time for you and your boys to get out of town.

we ask of president trump do what's right. stand with us. stand with michael. stand with the bakery workers. bring the jobs home, protect our pensions and invest in america. that's what you said you were going to do. it requires putting our issues and our values first and as a result we will not be an atm for any political party. we'll stand up to the corporate republicans who attack working people and the neoliberal democrats who take us for granted. see, when our fidelity is to working people and economic rules, politicians will have to come to us. that's how we'll stop choosing on election day between the lesser of two evils and start choosing between the better of two goods. and momentum has been building for working people over the last few years. people want good jobs. they want fair trade. they want rising pay. a powerful majority of americans support unions and our popularity is growing, especially among young people. and as i speak about unionism and the gains that we can win and the power that we can build, look, i'm not asking anybody any one of us to

do we create a better environment for us citizens? >> do we put more people to work? do we give them better jobs. is there life get better? the more people end up getting a job that didn't want, the more people have a quality of life that they want, the more kids end up going to places they want to go, do people live where they want to live and it's the end of our dministration do people feel like their life and their quality of life, their standard of life and their future is better than it was the day we got there. if we did that, that's what we should be competitive. >> what do you think is the most important tool for doing that? i'm going to take you back , to fisher-price and a toy factory, biggest toys in the city, shut down in mexico and china , the city never really recovered much. what can you do to help bring or keep those kind of jobs back in ? >> we have to provide a, the tax rates that make corporate competitive in this country. that's the first place we are going to start. we have a 35 percent corporate tax ate. the oecd rate is 23 . you know, if you loo

that we do know. us understandp why the death of innocent men, women, and children from chemical weapons warrants a military response but the deaths that were far more that were from rural bombs did not warrant a military response? i think what we have here is a policy decision by the united states. there is a limit to what we can do. and, when you look at what happened with this chemical attack, we knew we could not stand passive on this. but it was not a statement that we could enter full-fledged, full-bore into the most complex civil war raging on the planet at this time. the intent was to stop the cycle of violence into an area that, even in world war ii was not used on battlefields. since world war i there has been an international convention on this. and, to stand idly by when that convention is violated, that is what we had to take action on urgently in our own vital interest. go ahead. >> general and mr. secretary, for both of you, we were expecting a new counter isil plan this spring. will this

the us could actually do a lot more. n leveraged over north korea and again, has overstated china's ability to handle the problem. this has been our default policy for the past three decades will stop essentially to outsource the north korea problem to china. the us really needs to do much more. in some senses, this is actually a very sensible thing of president trump to consider at doing more. at the us stepping up its own game.“ consider at doing more. at the us stepping up its own game. if we look at action, though, donald trump saying he is putting all options on the table but if we put military action to one side at the moment, what else does he have, what other options can he pursue with north korea? our timelines are out of sync if we are going to rely on sanctions. they are uniquely u naffected sanctions. they are uniquely unaffected on north korea because, and this is what we have been relying on, i thought of twin pillars, china's ability to influence and then sanctions. north korea has been living under sanctio

reconciliation to do that. he used a 2017 spending bill to do that. that means you need to use a 2018 reconciliation in the fall to do tax reform. nobody should've never expect it. i think he's doing well and some substantive ways, particularly the supreme court is a big victory. the style and the talent they are operating have not won the confidence of the american people appeared his job approval is 42% to 43% depending which day you look at it and his disapproval is 52 or 53. the only president since we began pulling the snake it is her higher than his positives in the first three months of his term in office. at this point after the acrimonious election and the supreme court in 36 days and all that, church w. bush's approval rating was 62-29. whatever good thing he's doing are not being communicated our package or a way that wins the confidence that the american people. >> is certainly operating differently. what's your advice? >> well, look. i was slow to. lower expectations that things will get done. act more pre
