the united states has one of the best legal systems worldwide. what our laws require is that the person first be screened by an asylum officer. that is a threshold screening. if you demonstrate a credible fear of persecution, meaning it is likely you might be persecuted if you are sent back, you will go before a judge. the judge will determine if you are entitled to asylum. host: is it a matter of saying the right buzzwords or do you have to have proof of the threats you face? guest: there has been a lot of commentary about what is the actual standard applied. obtaining asylum is difficult. that theve made claims folks in the caravan are going to game the system, that they have been coached. that is why we have an officer that is trained to identify fraud or if the person poses a dangerous threat to the country, that they are screened out. that is why there is a second layer where they go before a judge and there will be a trial lawyer representing the government that will test the case. a tragedy of our court system is that our immigration court

the united states saw soviet union as its chief enemy. but then there were smaller ones like north vietnam in what became communist vietnam, north korea and certainly the people's republic of china. in fact, in the 1960's, the prc, the chinese had replaced the soviet union for a while as the lead -- being seen as the most hostile to the united states. but the -- but ultimately until ate 1980's, the soviet union was the overriding enemy of the united states until the end of the cold war under mikhail gombchave. >> i had to go to vietnam. i had to work against the war. i saw the civil rights workers. i didn't have the courage. i had to have a gun and bombs if i was going to work against this government. ile i was in transit, i read "hochimin." uncle hull helped my father fight that war. had a debt to pay for the vietnamese people for staying alive. i got every anti-war paper. i passed them out to g.i.'s. the biggest peace march ever held in vietnam was held in july. hat's where i hold all of my incidents. a year later there was a fragging.

because now the differences that existed over negotiating with the united states are all over everyone agrees that you can't talk to the united states are simply unreliable those who are opposed to the negotiations are saying we were right and those who were for the negotiation said well we gave it a shot and we show that they're dishonest and of course this began under obama he wasn't abiding by the agreement either but trump ended it so the country is united it's much stronger today than before. it's been dealing with sanctions for a long time now and since the deal was never really implemented iran is still working around sanctions so it's much better equipped to deal with sanctions than before it's global position is much better because trump has isolated himself in countries like russia and china know that if iran grows weak it's it's not good for them either because they'll be next and iran's regional status is very powerful iran has very strong allies across the region and the americans have a presence across every region so they would be very vulnerable if there was any form of

the united states is committed to israel. were committed to our alliance and we're committed to building a more peaceful, more prosperous future together. may god bless the u.s., israel alliance on this historic day, and i thank you for letting me be a part of it.

in united states real gdp, 12%, the united states economy grew at 8% per annum for a near i can't have, the growth -- for a year and a half. the great ray for ken day, -- growth rate for ken day was 5%, since the regan tax cut took effect, the growth rates were at 5% for the rest of his term, my guess is that you are going to see growth rates in the united states increasing dramatically, i think 4% or higher, the atlanta fed's estimate is 5.4% estimate. with these growth rates, you are going to see enormous changes in the economy, when the growth rates hit with us, we lost the elections in november of 1982, with that growth, that solved a lot of problems, in november the 1984, it was a close call, really a squeaker, we only 149 of 50 states. mondale was a great guy but it's hard to run against god. we won that election, by the time we got to the 1986 act, we dropped the highest marginal income tax rate, in the 1986 act, from 50% to 28%, we dropped the corporate rate from 46 to 34%, we also, gist to make sure nobody was confused about our intentions, we raised the lowest rate. that will

states is going to impose right now, do they risk secretary sanctions by the united states, or do they try to have some sort of business with iran? >> that's the key question. what john carl said, this is the maximum way president trump could have done this. making it incredibly difficult for european governments to help their companies do business in iran. they already explored ways of actually reimbursing their companies for sanctions that might be put on them by the united states, an extraordinary development for some of our closest allies, but i think that is a dead end given how completely president trump has taken a part this agreement. what they are now really concerned about here is the possibility that what president trump is really after is not another deal, but he and john bolton, the new national security adviser, want regime change. they are afraid of another war in the middle east, this time, to dislodge the regime in teheran, and they don't. to see that at all. >> extraordinary consequential move by president trump

and thet harry truman united states were the first state to recognize the state of israel. he later regretted that he waited so long. all of prayed for for these years -- we open the united states embassy in jerusalem, israel. leads the united states the way as the first nation to do so. so many have worked so hard for so long for this day to come and they all deserve our thanks, but make no mistakes -- make no mistake. today's historic event is attributed to the vision, the courage, and the moral clarity to one person to whom we owe an enormous and a terminal debt of gratitude, president donald j. trump.

it would go to the united states court. it's an issue that has never been resolved in that way. >> respectfully to the former attorney general for the state of connecticut, there are a number of other legal scholars, dana, many of whom i've spoken with even today that insist it is not possible. he is dead wrong on that. i should point out we're expecting an oval office meeting in a little bit and he's meeting with the secretary-general of nato. in town once again. maybe he'll talk about the cooperation between the u.s. and other nato partners, and maybe how some of them like germany should be ponying up a bit more. back to you. >> dana: thank you. >> you bet. >> dana: the full senate now debating the nomination of gina haspel to become the next c.i.a. director with a final confirmation vote expected any minute. chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel is live on capitol hill. mike? >> good afternoon. this is a big moment. a career c.i.a. officer is on the verge of becoming the first woman to head the agency. at least

and who the united states is going to sanction as a result of all this. we are still working all that out and trying to figure out what exactly is going to happen. for the general rule, the countries that are part of the iran-nuclear deal, they want the united states to stay in us. they were negotiating and that they just released a statement called e3. after engaging with the u.s. administration and a thorough manner in the past few months, we call on the u.s. to do everything possible to preserve the gains for nonnuclear proliferation back allowing continued enforcement of its main element. that's still unclear. the other two countries that are part of this, china and russia, they are pushing the u.s. to stay in and they are now talking and expressing the same disappointment. the gulf countries including israel and saudi arabia, for example, they never liked this deal and want of the u.s. out of it. the saudis are saying they support the u.s. decision as well as benjamin netanyahu. >> israel fully supports president trump's bold decision to reject the n

well there were indications north korea and united states and fundamental differences when it came to how the vision that the nuclear efficient process there's been a lot of talk about how i you know is toots might want to duplicate dissolute libya model in dismantling the nuclear program in north korea which meant the north korea will have to meet significant concessions before there can be any kind of rewards and then we have seen and recently had no interest in going along with this when you were so i think if you're to has a lot of commentators here in south korea they would tell you that the u.s. government might simply have come to the religious and that they just don't have enough time before this single or summit to clarify all the details work out all the differences so it might just be better to cancel it at this time and try to have another one scheduled in the near future mr mason donald trump has blamed north korea's hostile rhetoric for canceling the summit and american officials have also pointed out that north korean officials missed meetings to prepare for the summit

policy withpoint of the united states? in some ways, i think we might see foreign ministry's in europe start to question the very foundation of the relationship with washington. security has always been a cornerstone of that relationship. from a security point of view, this is sinking in the teeth. long-term, we could seek long-term conflict. the last point of it like to make is we see a lot of references being made to iraq. >> 2003, absolutely. >> i'm not going to go into if it is iraq again. one important thing i would like to make -- 15 years ago with iraq, there was division within europe. the key question for europe was you or do not align with u.s. policy? we are not seeing those dynamics today. this time, this plan goes up the atlantic. the united states on one side and the european leaders all saying we remain committed to the jcpoa. i think that is the last point i wanted to make. >> we are unfortunately out of time, but that is a perfect segue. tomorrow afternoon, we have two members of parliament from europe, on

is it salvageable without the united states realistically? the united states realistically? the united states realistically? the united states is one party of the seven parties to this deal and it cannot by itself destroy the deal. what it did today in withdrawing from the deal is to violate the deal. the document says nothing about withdrawal, you can either respect it or you can violate it, and the us chose to be the first country to violate it. now, that is a very severe injury to the deal. it is not necessarily fatal. it is important i think for a specially the european union parties to come together and to say, "we would have responded very strongly if iran had been the first to violate the deal. we will respond just as strongly if the united states is the first to violate the deal. " for the credibility of the eu it's important they stop, take a deep breath and think about the best possible means to preserve all the positive aspects of the jcp of to preserve all the positive aspects of thejcp of a. to preserve all the positive aspects of the jcp of a. when we look at w

he personally litigated cases in the united states district court and the united states court of appeals for the fourth circuit. the only thing that mr. rosenstein did not do, during his time at harvard, he did not become a fan of the red sox, the patriots, or the celtics. [applause] [booing] because he was too busy. [laughter] despite that, it is my honor to bring up deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. [applause] attorney general rosenstein: thank you for that kind introduction. i enjoyed meeting you and your colleagues in chicago. thank you for coming to my neighborhood for dinner tonight. jim, i admire your commitment to the cause of justice. i am grateful to molly craig, the chairperson for this event, and to andrea looney and staff of the lawyers for civil justice. your organization works to promote fairness in the civil justice system because your members rely on the rule of law. this is a fitting time to discuss the rule of law because may 1 was law day in the united states. president trump issued a law day proclamation on tuesday as he did one year ago. the president explaine

>> i don't think we broke united states. it's the united states that broke with us. it doesn't -- it's not important to negotiate about that. let's talk about the future. the possibility of having a peace process is related to creating an international forum that is not by us to one side. today the united states is completely biased to israel. when i listen to mr. greenblatt or mr. friedman, they look like they -- they sound like they are the spokesperson for the israeli government, not for the united states. what we need is a decent mediator. that means an international forum and the process has to be based on international law. and u.n. resolution, security council resolutions, general assembliey s rresolution. it should be based on ending occupation. >> if you have heard any leaks or reports or anything, what do you understand about the u.s. administration's plan, the jared kushner plan, the president trump plan that's meant to be unveiled? you heard president trump, i believe they are talking about a two state solution still. >> what we heard is negative things,

the story in the united states is both similar and different. it's similar in that it's always been a multiethnic society with a straight racial hierarchy in which one group had bigger advantages over others. .. when the internet allows people to make much stronger. the general democracy, very empowering parts of social media. often allows people who have wrongly been excluded from public discourse to have a real voice but it also makes it easy for people who have hateful views, people who want to spread propaganda or lies to have a real voice. coming on top of the other two elements, that's a very dangerous cocktail n. the book i say a lot about what we can actually do to stand up for our freedoms and i'm happy to say more about that in the q&a, i don't want to take too much time. but very broadly, we need to show people that the system is responsive to them and limitingg the role of money in politics, we need to show people that we can stand for globalization and other countries around the world, but also show that it's possible to make sure t

states and united states is the strongest economic partner for european union and vice versa. very much dependent on each as are. in a trade war and my view is it should be avoided as much as we can because not except that the americans dictate the terms of the business has to be it has to be partnership but as long as they do not know what a partnership is levy finished should try to keep it alive so in germany he was previously slammed by the united states for failing to pay its share of to percent of its g.d.p. to the nato budget trump now says member countries must pay four percent of their g.d.p. to nato is germany planning to meet this target if almost nobody viewer up is even meeting the two percent area how is washington going to make everyone pay for i can tell you that's a strong majority of germans and in my view a strong majority of europeans every b.-a is slick against you what. does. not c. didn't meet for. higher defense spending. by. that defense meant this we have started to do that but. i would stick the oppose the idea that if you have to spend two percent.

after we saw a trump announce that the united states would pull out of a multilateral agreement that by all accounts everybody else seemed to be holding up their end of the deal on so that could send the wrong message to north korea who was certainly watching this announcement on the iran nuclear deal but trump would say the opposite he would say this is a show of strength that he's not going to walk away from any negotiations without getting a deal that he feels is comprehensive plan which is so they washington thank you. european countries meanwhile reasserting their commitment to the iran nuclear deal following the decision to withdraw the united states short time ago president trump defended the move but added that he still open to negotiating a new do he also that not to restart its nuclear weapons program. decision has sparked anger and concern amongst iran's leaders and its people. outrage in tehran and parliament iranian politicians wasted no time condemning the u.s. for violating a deal signed only three years ago. on the streets iranians read the news that their economy is

states itself acts like an israel when the united states itself acts like a saudi arabia or basically you could kiss the region goodbye. thanks very much around the sheriff and now we do have much more to come for you on the program including. i mean his new prime minister is given a hero's welcome to a mass rally in the country's capital. love it uses three new cracks in the ground in hawaii destroying more homes and engulfing stranded vehicles. with. and over the heat is now being chased out of europe and certainly being very warm recently but now we're seeing more in the way of cloud just affect us in the northwest this is just quite a week feature but you can see this large bank of cloud up towards the northwest that's what's rolling in for wednesday that's going to give us some heavy rain and some pretty strong winds as well as that makes its way across us will see a real drop in the temperatures so force on thursday london will only be getting to seventy of paris will be up at sixteen that is that weather system then making its way across the central parts of europe on thursday

states, it's doing grave damage to the united states foreign policy. it's doing grave damage to u.s. law enforcement because of the thug-like tactics that have been used in that paul manafort case and in the cohen case. it points to something that really is disturbing. after watching the deputy attorney general of the united states, rod rosenstein, accuse congress of trying to extort him and others in the department by conducting legitimate constitutional oversight, i would say that between the mueller and rosenstein and the absent attorney general, god bless him, we have a very serious crisis in american federal law enforcement. >> sean: oh, i agree. i think it's the biggest abuse of power scandal in history. stay on rod rosenstein. he wrote a letter and said the fbi could never recover if james comey stayed at the helm. he would be a witness on that o part of it. we've also discovered that rod rosenstein, we talk about the fisa application that relied on unverified, uncorroborated dossier paid for by hillary clinton, they never told the judge it was

elected to the united states congress. he served in the u.s. house of representatives for 10 terms. i thank my colleagues for supporting the effort to name the post office after maurice hinchey who spent his life serving his country and community. i look forward to hearing more about maurice hinchey from the sponsor of the bill, congressman faso, in a few minutes. i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from oklahoma reserves. the gentleman from illinois is recognized. mr. krishnamoorthi: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. krishnamoorthi: i'm pleased to designate the facility of the united states postal service located at 111 market street in saugerties, new york, as the maurice d. hinchey post office building. for two decades he represented new york's 22nd congressional district after beginning his political careers -- his political career four years earlier as a state assemblyman. representative hinchey was a s

nyang president indicated the united states is willing to negotiate a new deal with iran but he says his decision also signals the united states will no longer make calls empty threats can really help at al-jazeera at the white house well iran was very quick to respond to donald trump's actions zain bus ravi has more now from tehran. flanked by his senior leaders and within minutes of the u.s. pullout from the twenty fifteen nuclear deal iran's president hassan rouhani addressed his country and the world in a life speech he said the united states had once more proven itself to be an unreliable negotiating partner and characterized the american president's remarks as rude. they have done nothing except put empty signatures on pieces of paper without doing anything about it the iranian mission on the other hand has agreed to everything and accomplished all its responsibilities we had some duties based on that agreement and we have delivered all of them but today we can see which is the country that doesn't respect international agreements we have done nothing wrong is not acceptable th

a great embarrassment to me as a citizen and to all citizens of the united states. a constructive deal could easily have been struck at the time. but it wasn't. at the heart of the iran deal was a giant fiction, that a murderous regime desired only a peaceful nuclear energy program. today we have definitive proof that this iranian promise was a lie. last week israel published intelligence documents, long concealed by iran, conclusively showing the iranian regime and its history of pursuing nuclear weapons. the fact is this was a horrible, one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made. it didn't bring calm, it didn't bring peace, and it never will. in the years since the deal was reached, iran's military budget has grown by almost 40%. while its economy is doing very badly. after the sanctions were lifted, the dictatorship used nits new -- its new funds to build nuclear-capable missiles, support terrorism and cause havoc throughout the middle east and beyond. the agreement was so poorly negotiated that even if iran fully complies, the regime can still be on t

deed former democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders believes the united states is already on that path the road to the war in iraq not simply begin in two thousand and three it was laid down brick by brick over a number of years ironically as the president tore up the nuclear deal with iran secretary of state mike pompei it was on his way to north korea laying the groundwork for a nuclear deal with p.r. nyang president indicated the united states is willing to negotiate a new deal with iran but he says his decision also signals the united states will no longer make were trying calls empty threats can really help at al-jazeera at the white house. we'll get to our guests in a moment but first let's have a closer look at the deal which requires iran to significant limit its nuclear program in return for the lifting of economic sanctions that includes iran reducing the number of its centrifuges the machines used to enrich uranium and keeping enrichment levels at three point six seven percent below what's required to make nuclear bombs the for down nuclear reactor one of the count

tonight, the newly sworn in secretary of state mike pompeo says the united states is still considering its next move on what he calls the floored iran nuclear deal. while the french president, emmanuel macron, says it's time for a broader deal, but what does tehran think? my exclusive interview with the hamid baeidinejad, the iranian ambassador to the united kingdom. >>> plus, in the age of rising populism and fearmongering, i talked to costa rica's president-elect, carlos alvarado, about how he won a surprise landslide on a progressive agenda. >>> good evening, everyone, and welcome to the program. i'm christiane amanpour in london. >>> america has a new secretary of state. at his swearing in today flanked by president trump, mike pompeo said that the u.s. will soon decide what to do about the iran nuclear deal. and the clock is ticking for trump to make that decision. as european and other signatories try hard to save a deal that after all contains iran's nuclear program. the french president, emmanuel macron tried during a touchy-feely state visit to the white house last week and in

united states no longer makes empty threats. when i make promises, i keep them. in fact, at this very moment, secretary pompeo is on his way to north korea in preparation for my upcoming meeting with kim jong-un. plans are being made. relationships are building. hopefully, a deal will happen. and with the help of china, south korea, and japan, a future of great prosperity and security can be achieved for everyone. amy: president trump says "when ."make promises, i keep them when the u.s. makes promises, he breaks them. what does this mean for north korea? you have been extremely involved in trying to fight for peace on the korean peninsula. you are part of women cross the dmz. what message is this sending on the eve of apparently the summit that will take place between kim jong-un and trump? >> is certainly since the message that trump cannot been trusted. it says to the world community that you're are in a better position to negotiate if you already have nuclear weapons,'s are you better get them quickly. oneke we have to recognize of the saving graces around th

states the united states is a key. it's a key actor in the negotiation of a peace process the other thing to you is that you know it's very interesting to see the very skillful very adroit diplomacy that has been exercised by when jane but when jane and south korea is in a hard place because historically south korea has been semi sovereign that's because the united states to this day retains command authority over south korean military forces in times of war crisis the united states in violation of the terms of the armistice agreement still stations roughly thirty thousand u.s. military forces south of the d.m.z. operates about eighty military installations until it has basically conducted these joint military exercises with south korea that are the largest in the world that i'm simulate to the invasion and occupation of north korea that simulate the decapitation of north korea's leadership and that also as recently as just a couple of weeks ago in this operation max thunder simulate operations that in. a potential nuc

the united states needs strong and native space industries. if we unleash private enterprise in partnership with government, there is really no limits to what the u.s. can accomplish. and this is why the space council has prioritized the development of policies at the interface of policies of space traffic management, new space technologies, regulatory reform and ensuring there are activities for private enterprise in space exploration and improving space resilience. so as you might have heard region, discussions about lunar exploration, one of the parts of the story, still not fully appreciated is the range of commercial opportunities being provided for sending instruments and so forth to the lunar service, using private partners. today space vector revenues continue to be dominated by large space and telecom firms. however an increasing number of entrepreneurial firms are increasing sectors. these sectors are experiencing revolutionary change, space launch, remote sensing, global broadband, the large constellations. prospecting, satellite se

ambassador define success in their efforts to represent the united states overseas? >> well, it depends on what era you're in. if you are there at the end of the soviet union, the collapse of the soviet union when ambassador matlock was there it's much easier because momentum is in your favor between the united states and the soviet union and it's all a very cooperative time. when you are there when i was there at a period of increased confrontation between the united states and russia, when vladimir putin came back as president, you're mostly playing defense. you're mostly trying to take the edge off of a lot of bad things that happened. so context matters a lot and one should never overestimate the role of a role of a u.s. ambass much bigger factors are at play than what one individual can do at any one time. >> in the end, would you say you were successful as u.s. ambassador to russia? >> of course. how could i answer otherwise? well, for me, i was a rather unique ambassador. let me underscore, i was a political appointee, i'm not a career diplomat. i worked three
