table for the iranian people well earlier we spoke to hillary mann leverett she's a former white house national security official and she says don't trump appears convinced his tough line on iran could yield positive results. president trump from from the very beginning from when he campaigned in 2016 has had 2 messages about iran one is that he thought that the deal that obama struck was terrible not because the deal itself was so bad but president obama really was so bad and that he trump was so such a great deal maker he could make such a bigger better deal and the way he was going to do that was to get extremely tough with iran extremely aggressive and militaristic but at the same time hold out more and more of a you know what what would be in it for iran there could be more business opportunity with the united states there could be normalization there could be a comprehensive deal things that president obama actually didn't even offer iran so you've had these 2 messages come out of president trump himself and he has tried to play his own advisors to use them when it's convenient you someone hard li

we met congressman we talked to senators we haven't spoke to people in the white house national security council but while everyone expressed regret for pfizer's loss no one could explain why it happened or how it happened. talk to their own. problems and besides that instability is corruption we listen. who are pushing the united states and president trump into conflict we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter just 0. we have a news gathering team here that is 2nd to their all over the world and they do a fantastic job when information is coming in very quickly all at once you've got to be able to react to all of the changes and as you know we adapt to that. my job is is to break it all down and we held the view on the stand and make sense of it. a natural resource that's gone untapped for more than 2 decades alison is. off course years before israel has found its al-jazeera world tells the untold story of gaza as an exploited gas fields gaza loggin is only minimal as of the palestinian so it's a lot of money and how this valuable resource could have transf

we know the national security advisor in the white housejohn national security advisor in the white househe white housejohn has been really assuring donald trump to do more against iran to take a harder line at the moment, president trump doesn't seem to want to do that. but we are going to continue to get these two different messages from two different countries. even in the last few hours, we have had two separate maps released of this drone incident, the first comes from anna rainey and foreign minister —— iranian foreign minister for topic seems to establish that this was in iranian waters. it is not particularly detailed. the pentagon has revealed their own map and it is much more detailed and they say very clearly, in their view, much more detailed and they say very clearly, in theirview, it much more detailed and they say very clearly, in their view, it shows that this was an international waters. —— in international waters. it was not in iranian waters. you get the sense to do countries are trying to stick out there to very different versions of what happened. it is escalating, if

joining me is fer upon nando kots, a former white house national security council, congressman, great to see you tonight. now, you have long warned against this excessive military action abroad. now, your reaction to the media who seem to be pushing, in this case, for military action or maybe even war. >> l president trump has done the right thing and pulling back from an attack on war. it would destroy our economy, double the price of oil, engulf the region, destroy the trump presidency and that's all aside from endangering the u.s. so i'm glad that he has exercised his restraint it should be recognized and encouraged. >> laura: fernando, i heard a lot from liberals during the iraq war about collateral damage. i was someone who was all gunning ho for the iraq war. i went there for just a week in 2006 and years after, i came to think, emy gosh, what did we do and what did we get into. bu>> i have to say, i'm having n eerie output. was that the day, barack obama took a long walk around the south lawn and pulled back an operation that was ready to go. >> what you said right there was th

the clinton white house national security environment was run by the national security advisor , secretary of state, secretary of defense were prominent figures. george tenet becomes clinton's third director. john deutch falls in the center but he is a different type of director, as we will see. tenant is interesting because he is the only director who falls into two categories. from 1997 to 2001, george tenet was not much of a presence at cia. he was popular and people loved to see him in the cafeteria am a -- the cafeteria backslapping and chewing his cigar and all of that but he really wasn't a person with clout at the agency. the agency was still kind of moving along in this post cold war period, finding its moorings, looking for new targets and avenues of interest. but the white house is providing very little guidance. petraeus comes in, appointed by obama after panetta leaves to become secretary of defense. he is only there for a year and we will not get into the reasons why he left. in case you're wondering, yes, he will have an official portrait at cia. we are all inclusive when it

give me your analysis please, sir. >> well, you know, ali, i spent a lot of time in the white house national security council meetings, hundreds of hours under two presidents, i have never seen anything like this. ben rhodes' principal statement that we ought to focus on is there is no national security process where you bring together all elements of u.s. power, the military will always give you a military option. it may tell you it's stupid but they'll give you a military option. the state department, treasury, justice, you get everybody's views, and go up and talk to the president, and tell him here's what we recommend you do. i think the president must have gotten angry at downing a hundred million dollar global hawk missile. it may have been a rogue action by the republican guards, and he ordered a strike and then somebody, i'll bet it was the jcs got to him, and told him you better back off, which fortunately, i think he did. there's no reason to escalate this conflict. the iranians, the gulf coast states, the saudis, the israelis, nobody's going to win in a persian gulf war. >> i think this is

terry, former senior analyst at the cia who was in charge of this region while on the white house national security counsel. do we believe the new photo first of all? >> you know, i believe the new photo but that doesn't really disprove that chol has not been purged because in north korea, many top officials get purged and get sent to reeducation camp and come back. right now number two guy if you remember he has been also purged on the kim jong-un sent to reeducation camp. his sister and her husband has been executed. now he's number two guy. these things happen all the time in north korea but what is factual is that he has not been in the scene or has not been seen for 51 days since the hanoi summit. he has not accompanied kim jong-un to vladivostok to meet with putin. so that was all unusual. so my point is, he could have been purged and he could have been reinstated because all western media has been talking about purges and kim jong-un said i want to look like a normal leader. i don't want to look like this weird person. i'm going to bring this guy back. the fact he is not sitting next to kim

and that echoes some of what has been suggested by the white house national security adviser here in iran itself. one of its allies at the un, russia, said that no evidence had been presented during this closed—door briefing to show that iran had been involved. nonetheless, you can imagine that this report is going to heighten tensions in the region. it will also fuel concerns in washington about tehran. fifty years on, the head of the new york police department has apologised for a notorious raid on a gay bar, that led to riots and was a major catalyst for the gay rights movement. injune 1969 new york police raided the stonewall inn to enforce laws against serving alcohol to homosexuals. the trouble is reported to have begun when a lesbian — who was being arrested — shouted at others ‘why don't you do something?‘ the police commissioner has said the force's actions were wrong, pure and simple. the award—winning american musician, drjohn, has died of a heart attack at the age of 77. he was an influential member of the new orleans music scene, and created a unique blend of blues, pop

white house correspondent for the "new york times." tessa barrenson, white house correspondent for time magazine who interviewed the president this week, and with me ben rhodes, former deputy national security adviser, a piece posted in the "new york times," along with maggie haberman, michael schmidt, the president had approved military strikes against iran to take place before dawn friday which would be now. iran time. you write, but the action was abruptly called off for the evening putting a halt to what would have been the president's third military action against targets in the middle east. tell us about this michael. >> well, that's right. i with several colleagues doing good reporting do have the story, and as late as 7:00 or so this evening, officials in the u.s. government did believe that there would be strikes on iran. our understanding was that this approval by president trump followed a spirited debate among top u.s. officials in which key officials, including national security adviser, john bolton and secretary of state mike pompeo were pushing for some sort of military response to these iranian actions, that the president did approve a strike, the plan as we were told was fo

just last month, white house national security advisor john bolton blamed iran for attacks on saudi shipssame region. >> i didn't think anybody who knows the region has any doubt who staged the attacks or the attacks on the saudi pipeline pumping station. we have made it particularly clear that if american citizens or facilities are threatened or attacked that there will be a very strong response. >> harris: and we just got word that at 2:15 p.m. eastern, secretary of state mike pompeo will speak with reporters at the state department on this. we assume it will be about this. retired navy captain bob wells, former national security advisor to vice president dick cheney joins me now. what are some of the things that we need to hear? what are the guess we should be asking at this point? >> well, certainly it's a very serious situation. it's really conjures up memories of the 1980s tankers wars. it occurred if you look at the c state very early in the morning. we need to think about getting all the fax, making sure we have the facts right and looking at the actual damage to both tankers. it'
