that for all my flaws there is a 0% chance that there would be the allegation i was with hookers in moscow. but what he was commenting is the president kept calling him to say we have to get to the bottom of the golden showers and those documents with the dossier and he said is not leaked it is not a government document it came from a ford or british intelligence officer. >> but it was a conservative newspaper. >> no that's not correct. that was for opposition research but then it was taken over by the dnc. >> in other words you don't think it was conservative opposition research on the president? >> i'm sure but i had to do with the dossier. >> best theologian that referenced is quite a bit and the quote by martin luther here ice-t and i can do no other did you see that? >> none whatsoever because i did not follow along with him. >> he wrote his senior thesis and about jerry falwell and that was two different types of religions and which calls people to a moral imperative and to act the best they can in the imperfect world versus the exploitation and manipulation of religion that is what

chance, absolutely zero that patrice was -- would credit that i was with hookers peeing on each other in moscow. and trump would say we have to get to the bottom of the golden showers thing and the leaked document and the dossier and comey has to explain it's not leaked, it's not a government document. it came from a former british dossier. >> and hillary clinton's campaign. >> and from a british newspaper-- >> no, they paid for opposition research on donald trump, but when the dossier had come in it was taken over by the hillary clinton campaign. >> the same thing. >> no, it's not the same thing. >> you don't think there was conservative opposition research on the president that-- of course there was, but nothing to do with the dossier, people who go into complains do opposition research all the time, as you well know. >> all right. the theologian is quoted here i stand and i can do no other as well. did you see that and make any impression on you. >> no, none of his quotes made much impression on me whatsoever because i think that he blathers one thing and he does other when it suits him. so,

literally absolute zero that patrice would credit an allegation i was with hookers peen on each other in moscow. what he was commenting about was the president kept calling them up to say we got to get to the bottom of this golden showers thing, and the leaked documents, the dossier. comey has to .2 it was not leaked. it was not a government document. they came from other sources, it came from a former british intelligence officer. >> and some hillary's campaign. >> it was a conservative newspaper that originally paid for the production -- >> no. that's not correct. they paid for opposition research on donald trump but when they came and it'd been taken by the dnc and hillary clinton campaign. >> that's the same thing. >> no. >> you don't think there was conservative opposition research on the president? >> of course there was. it had nothing to do with the dossier. people who go into campaigns for opposition research all the time as people know. >> reinhold niebuhr, the theologian is reference quite a bit in this book and the quote by martin luther, here i stand, i can do no other, as well. di

you have michael cohen who worked on the trump tower moscow project. jeff sessions who is now belatedly admitted he met with the russian ambassador. donald trump jr., who organized the meeting with the infamous russian lawyer and george pappadopolous. and jared kushner who established back-channel communication with russia and you have michael flynn. i mean it's hard to imagine it's that coincidental. i think chris matthews has said, i don't think i know any russians, he knows like all of them. it can't just be coincidence. but the problem i think for a lot of people who don't believe in collusion, don't think it's real is that they don't see how any of that means that donald trump did anything wrong. >> well all of these people are also intimately connected with donald trump. and the people you just named the tip of the iceberg, who could do we didn't start the fire of russian mob-connected goons hooked up with the trump administration. of course this is not coincidental. these ties go back decades, the ties to somebody like michael cohen. the sort of

george nader visiting moscow at least twice during the presidential campaign per "the new york times", after the election he worked with the crown prince to arrange a meeting with vladimir putin and people connected to mr. za mel also has ties to russia. nader's been cooperating with prosecutors since he was stopped and questioned in january. whether or not devin nunes wants it to happen, this is all going to come out. >> let me take both of those things, on the george nader piece, the really interesting thing that you see here is this question, were there two separate unrelated foreign efforts to help donald trump win the presidency, were the russians acting in their lane and were maybe the saudis and emirates acting in their lane or were they working with george nader helping them coordinate? it's an extraordinary question. the second thing, on this question of outing a foreign -- outing an intelligence asset who's been providing helps for investigations for years of the it's not just devin nunes doing it. it was donald trump, the president of the united states -- the person who is

. >> he is the pivotal guy on trump tower moscow. he is the person that went to prague to take over from manafort after manafort had to leave because of all of the information that came out on him. there is no -- i mean, there's this whole false story created that the whole search warrant relates to this whole business with stormy daniels. >> right. >> i can't believe for a second that the department of justice would have ever approved search warrant based solely on that. this is russia. >> right. that means that when the judge says you're just going after this guy because you want trump, that's kind of true. right? >> it might be true but i really caution everybody to read too much into what a federal judge says from the bench. many oral arguments have involved a lot of back and forth and remember, federal judges serve with life tenure. you can imagine how frank all of us would be if we had life tenure in our jobs. what he says at oral argue his honor will have a written opinion and often not nearly as dramatic as maybe the back and

netanyahu was in moscow. part of the reason he was in moscow to deconflict with the russians. enough is enough. we have to take action against iran. the russians have their own interests in syria. this is interesting, it is very interesting dynamic because the russians only have so much influence over iranians. they will not be able to tell the iranians what to do. melissa: mike, i could listen to you all day but we're out of time. >> thank god you don't have to. melissa: we like you. david: always smartest person on the channel. >>> meanwhile, bracing for a nutty problem why california almond growers say every one loses if trump's tariffs go into effect. we have details from almond country in california next. david: some high steaks trade negotiating, negotiations are affecting almonds as trump administration decides to impose tariffs on chinese goods. one farmer could face unintended consequences. we have hillary vaughn in al month country, right? reporter: hey, david, yes. kern count where i am right now is the largest exporter of almond in the world. i talked to several al

leading approval is prime minister benjamin netanyahu on, a visit to moscow to visit vladimir putin. he along with others in the region including saudi arabia, bahrain and the emirates have spoken in great support of president trump's decision. president putin has spoken of his hope to prevent the conflict to continuing talks with iran. as for iran. yesterday president rouhani said his president was preparing to restart uranium enrichment in case the deal collapsed, and today iranian politicians burned american flags in parliament to screams of death to america. while the supreme leader himself addressed president trump, calling for him to go to hell. >> this man will die, and his body will turn into ashes and food for worms and ants but the islamic republic will continue to stand. reporter: amid further increasing tensions, within one hour of president trump's announcement, there was a military strike on iranian targets in syria, possibly rockets, warehouses and convoys. that happened south of damascus and reported to be carried out by israel. according to reports, there were 15 dea

he was then at moscow before coming back to spain to manage seville. he won the europa league three times in a row. he missed out on the league in paris, but broke the transfer record to sign neymar. they haven't impressed in europe. he will now move to his seventh job in europe. he will now move to his seventhjob in in europe. he will now move to his seventh job in management in europe. he will now move to his seventhjob in management in his fourth different country. and they would turn to the champions league will be a must if he takes over. arsenal aren't the only club doing business in the managerial market, west ham have hired the former manchester city boss, manuel pellegrini. here's how the club announced it on social media. pellegrini won the title with city in 2014, and takes over from david moyes who left the club last week. he says he's excited, and is aiming to bring in "four or five" players to have a "strong team". let's have a look at some of today's other sports news. the wasps flankerjack willis could be out for up to a year because of

moscow said the world had been misled by propaganda, europe's security body, the osce, said it deplored ukraine's tactics. he our moscow correspondent, steve rosenberg, says many people believe the affair might ultimately play into the kremlin‘s hands. what we have been seeing today is the russian state media using this fake murder in kiev to try to undermine the credibility of some of the many accusations that have been levelled against russia over the last few years. so, for example, the government newspaper today likened the story of arkady babchenko to the case of the skripals, poisoned in salisbury, claiming that their recovery was somehow similar to the resurrection of a russian journalist. i think the aim is clear, to lump all of this together as fake news, and i think from now on, every time russia will be accused of something, whether it's hacking or meddling in elections, or cyber attacks or whatever, the russians will point to what happened in kiev yesterday and cry fake news louder than ever. meanwhile, the ukrainian authorities have come in for international criticism ove

ambassador to moscow, he has kindly let us in today. let us in today. mary hopkin, you mean knock, knock, who is there from 1970. who is there from 1970. second but it was a lovely song and it was something like... one for ireland, with all kinds of everything. proving i have walked into the wrong studio. studio. content any request you want to but on the bbc facebook page. on the bbc facebook page. we will leave it there. an unannounced visit. trump. 0ur correspondent, laura bicker, is following developments from seoul. how much of a surprise is this second trip? because how much of a surprise is this second trip so quickly? this second trip so quickly? it is a huge surprise. huge surprise. first time since he took power in 2011. 2011. an important meeting ahead of any summit with president trump. summit with president trump. the table when it comes to the discussions about denuclearisation. discussions about denuclearisation. synchronise measures by both parties towards eventual denuclearisation. towards eventual denuclearisation. taking these steps,

israeli attacks the strikes were carried out hours after israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was in moscow saying he'd come away confident that russia would not prevent what he called israel's freedom of action a day later a different tone from the russian foreign minister. that we see this is a very alarming development we believe that all issues must be resolved through dialogue during our multiple contacts with the leadership of both iran and israel including during yesterday's meeting between putin and netanyahu we underline the necessity of avoiding any actions that might be seen as mutually provocative. for now this latest flurry of cross border violence has subsided but all sides are aware that a new bar has been set for its intensity that it could all too easily rise again sorry for sit out his era in the occupied golan heights double trump has confirmed the date and venue for a historic summit with north korea's leader the president announced it on twitter saying the highly anticipated meeting between kim jong un and myself will take place in singapore on june the twelfth we will

something which it has always denied as well a clandestine war effectively in a neighboring country moscow vladimir putin has invested so much in its foreign policy decisions that it would be a sign of weakness for him to step back from. that's to acknowledge guilt in any way and so until the administration tainted in russia until by the way putin perhaps is no longer in office i don't think we're going to get any admission of culpability from the russians we'll get more of what they've done so far which is deny deny and deny disgraced hollywood producer harvey weinstein has surrendered himself to police in new york on sexual assault charges more than one hundred women have accused him of sexual misconduct including rape he was fired from the weinstein company in october following the allegations which triggered the meet to movement weinstein has denied all allegations of known consensual sex north korea says it remains open to resolving issues despite donald trump's cancellation of a planned summit for what he called the tremendous anger and open hostility shown by kim jong un the north s

and the netherlands say they hold moscow legally responsible that's after international investigators concluded the missile system used in the attack was provided by a russian army brigade spanish prime minister mariano rajoy has refused to step down or call a snap election despite a no confidence motion filed by the opposition it comes after a madrid court fined rai's ruling people's party for profiting from an illegal kickbacks for contract scheme. brazil's president has ordered the military to clear the highways of truck drivers who are protesting the price of diesel the government's reached an agreement with the drivers union but some are refusing to back down the blockades led to shortages of fuel food and medical supplies those are the headlines the news continues here in algeria after the nakba life in that. nineteen forty eight. palestinians that you and or the catastrophe. when hundreds of thousands were forced out of their homes. for israelis that marks the closing of the state of israel. as a filmmaker and as a palestinian this documentary series was my way to understand th

absolutely there's a big and longstanding debate about just quite how much pressure moscow can bring to bear on damascus in some areas it could bring a lot in other areas actually damascus is a relatively free agent. you know then you throw teheran into the mix as well and so you get this situation which is so combustible for so many different countries. in the area. you know jordan has concerns about this border has concerns about the presence of. iranian backed militias down there similar concerns so those held by jerusalem as well jerusalem would like russia to pressure damascus to basically get those iranian backed militias out and to reinforce the south of the country with it with syrian army troops essentially kicking out the militias and reestablishing government control that pure government control but this is a very delicate situation as i said there are countries in the region bordering syria which have different objectives different concerns and of course within the syrian battle space itself russia iran and syria although they are allies are not always seeing eye so why a

this is a picture of one of the main soviet forensic psychiatric institutions in moscow, it's a place where soviet dissidents were imprisoned when they were found guilty -- when they were diagnosed with a condition called sluggish schizophrenia. it's a fake-- well, we regard it as a fake mental illness that a group of soviet doctors applied to, you know, a decent number of soviet dissidents, essentially marking them as crazy and justifying their imprisonment in this place where they were given drugs against their will and so on. and, okay, well, you know, how could you misuse psychiatry to imprison your enemies? on the other hand, think about it like this, well, what made those people be dissidents? they stuck up for their views and resisted authorities. we think those things are good when it's for a good cause. what's to stop somebody else thinking they're bad and symptoms of of a brain disease? well, there's a relativism there and it's determined by the culture in which it takes place. i'm sure we can find many reasons to, you know, dismiss soviet psychiatric practices as unethical.

the russians have launch vehicles good to go to moscow. that ultimately didn't work. there is efforts with these workarounds and some real heroes. one was senator barbara mikulski from up here in maryland who became a huge supporter. a couple of times when congress declared the mission dead when nasa declared it dead said wait a minute of step in and save the day. another was public support and much was rallied by the group of the planetary society. that's made up of people devoted to planetary exploration. a couple times when pluto exploration was threatened the public support and tens of thousands of letters that came in marshaled by these efforts demonstrated that people really care and want this to happen. so some of the surprising support from other quarters make the story interesting. >> david, 14 years of having this in human history, when did you know in the odyssey of committees and approvals a nuclear launch approval, went to juneau it was going to fly? >> that did not come until the end. in the book describes it well. even just a few months before the flyby

he supposedly was standing outside that hotel room in moscow, said he didn't see anybody going in, but then he went off to bed and who knows what happened after that. so the credibility of these people, the relationship that donald trump has with this guy, again, just as comey said, sort of like a cappo, that he's working for the boss. how credible are these people going to be when they're put under oath? >> and are these the group of people that are covering something up, the kinds of people that send three people to a doctor's office to get medical records? >> we've seen this tactic with the president before, he literally threatens dean heller in nevada when he thought he was going to vote the wrong way, he sits him down in front of cameras and says, this one still wants to be senator, nice senate seat, shame if something happened to it. so we know he does this. there's nothing to suggest he didn't doing it right now about mueller's russia investigation. >> that's a great piece by frank rich in "new york magazine" about roy cohn. thanks for being with us tonight. >>> "the rachel madd

obviously trump tower/moscow, which i had nothing to do with. i never met felix sauder. >> anything about michael cohen and payments? >> and payments to whom? >> anybody. >> sure. like i told you, they asked about what his role was going to be. they asked if i had any knowledge about payments, which i didn't. >> got it. >> certainly, it's an area of interest for them. >> what's the significance there, barbara? >> it does sound like robert mueller's team was aware of this information long before the public was, which is probably not surprising, in asking about areas. a lot of times when you're trying to corroborate information that you have, you might ask a witness about his awareness of things. they may end up knowing nothing about it and may be able to tell you a lot about it. it's not unusual to learn information from one witness or set of documents and ask other witnesses to answer those questions. it seems, based on the reporting, that robert mueller's team has interviewed these corporations, stopped victor vekselberg at the airport, intervi

for all the other threads in the campaign, the trump tower meeting, the president's trip to moscow in july or in 2013, this is the one where mueller has tipped his hand a little bit. and it's the one where there is the most evidence of potential collusion, but not really told us much more. but here we find out if he is not close to mifsud himself, we don't know where he is, he is circling and getting all his friends and associates and bringing them in for questioning. >> buzzfeed reported back in february that mifsud has a ukrainian fiancee who says he flat-out disappeared she was seven months pregnant and engaged. shortly thereafter he dropped from sight. natasha, this speaks to the fact that we're sort of getting things six months later generally about what mueller has been up to. but the idea that he is not looking into collusion anymore seems belied by the information we do learn. >> right. it seems like every week we're learning a new piece of this investigation that does have to do with collusion. of course, the collusion aspect of this investigation, and that's not even a good

they were pursuing this business arrangement to build a trump tower in moscow. something the american voters knew nothing about but we learned well after the election. and also, remember, this is february 2017. this is during a period when the -- when the trump white house is pursuing the idea of lifting sanctions on russia without any concession on the russians' part. and you know, the fact that that came right after the election after everything that happened during the election, clearly mueller is trying to connect those dots. >> all right. mimi rocah and michael isikoff, thank you both. why the president is calling members of his staff apparently traitors and cowards. a fine tuned machine of the white house next. the first survivor of alzheimer's disease is out there. and the alzheimer's association is going to make it happen. but we won't get there without you. visit alz.org to join the fight. hey, i'm curious about your social security alerts. oh! we'll alert you if we find your social security number on any one of thousands of risky sites, so you'll be in

year if approved by the trump administration have given the president a reason to lift sanctions on moscow. we know that that has long been a priority for the kremlin. it was a topic also discussed in the infamous trump tower meeting. "the new york times" rorred in february 2017 that felix sater a guess on the show, a long-time business associate of mr. trump's with connections in russia was willing to help mr. artemenko's proposal reach the white house. sater put him in contact with michael cohen, the president's personal lawyer and fixer and cohen according to the "times" said he would deliver the plan to the white house. cohen told the newspaper he left the plan in flynn's white house office about a week before michael flynn was forced to resign as national security adviser. say thor to cohen to flynn an interesting chain. cohen would later call the "times" story fake news but mueller's interests suggest otherwise as does his focus on two long-time aides to another p confidant, roger stone. and that story is next. ng trimmr with powerload™ technology. feed the line. push the button. a

the potential proposals to get projects done in moscow were gifts. one of the things that bob mueller has to be looking at that i is possibly the most threatening to trump are financial quid pro quos in exchange for policy shifts whether it involved the lifting of economic sanctions in russia or change in attitude toward ukraine. obviously mueller is looking at those things. i don't think rudy is probably being judicious when he describes these as gifts. >> mike cohen, donald trump's someone who has a very tight circle with his family. doesn't seem to have a lot of friends as far as i can tell. >> he does not have a lot of friends. the trump organization is essentially a boutique operation. that's one of the reasons i'm somewhat skeptical that will michael cohen been ultimately be the straw that breaks the camel's back in all of this. >> why is that. >> because he's relatively new to the organization. he joined in the late towels. by the end of that period towards the beginning of the election, he and trump were on the outs. trump openly disapparentl
