he has handed them syria, he has attacked nato, he has suggested that nato perhaps doesn't have a place, he has started trade wars with our allies, he's done just about everything that reasonably the russians could expect of the united states president. so i think the impression both among our friends and adversaries is this man is a fool, he can be played. maybe he has some monetary interest, but maybe he is just a fool, in the same way that he was played by the north koreans and that is a very dangerous situation because people will attempt to take advantage of that. >> lastly just because you have dealt with these guys, what will the russians take from this? >> jennifer is absolutely right, if the north koreans can play donald trump the russians are far for skilled from this. this is all about manipulation and we have someone that is just not able to counter that. he seemingly seems -- it's like shiny keys, he will go to whatever they say and we have no counter against that because he is the president. >> thank you very much, david corn, a scary day on sunday. jennifer will be back.

he did "60 minutes" interview, greater minds than him would have to help him figure out iraq, iran, syria. connell: all things to all people thing. maybe half a genius by playing that game for now. everybody sees something in him that they like. polling numbers up here for candidates. joe biden still not in the race. he still gets the best numbers. >> correct. connell: obviously the best known. >> best-known and well-liked. i don't think this is the year for a 78 white male who is more after centrist than a progressive. he is going to run as progressive but his bonefides are much more -- connell: you don't think he can get through the primary? >> i think it will be very tough, connell. connell: similar with mike bloomberg you worked for. joe biden, former vice president of the country to be fair. >> broader exposure, broader awareness but it isn't clear to me given he is gaffe-prone, he doesn't really have a program. that he is linked to obama, which while it is positive is not an una bashed positive. connell: it might be a mistake for democrats if they don't nominate joe biden, if you lo

you look at syria, what happened in very short period of time, far shorter than people said was even possible. we're working together very well on the wall and on the border. i'm very upset with mexico. i think mexico is doing a lot of talking. they have the strongest immigration laws anywhere, anywhere in the world, they probably have the strongest, and we have the worst. we have the weakest, the most pathetic, the most laughed at immigration laws anywhere in the world. they're the democrats laws. i got stuck with them. i hope congress will change them rapidly. they have a lot of opposition from democrats, not because the democrats don't think they would be right in changing them, just because they don't want to make anybody look good. they want no victories. they don't care if the country suffers. they don't want any victories. we have two brand new caravans coming up big ones and mexico could stop them very easily. mexico has trade surplus with united states for many years a 100 billion a year at least. this is for many years, mexico is taking a big pores of our car business -- po

of groups like to call themselves members of al-qaeda, boko haram in nigeria, and groups in iraq and syria, everyone likes to say al-qaeda, it is an ideology, very ha rd to al-qaeda, it is an ideology, very hard to stop an ideology, but individuals like hamza bin laden can be tracked down and arrested, captured, eliminated, if he continues to mount attacks against the united states. —— osama bin laden. and other allies. thank you very much for speaking with us. thank you. salisbury is to be declared decontaminated of novichok after almost a year—long military clean—up following the sergei skripal poisoning. the former russian spy‘s house and 11 other potentially infected sites are expected to be ruled safe on friday. military teams have spent 13,000 hours on the clean—up after mr skripal and his daughter yulia were targeted with the nerve agent in march last year, which left them seriously ill. the business news in a moment, but first the headlines: "back home", the indian fighter pilot, captured by pakistan after being shot down two days ago, crosses the border back nto his co

his family fled the war in syria. they arrived here in christchurch only last year. principal mark wilson has spent the morning helping his students understand what has happened. it is not an act of nature, in particular this was an act of you know, human hatred and ignorance and aggression, and i think that does mean that the nature of what we are dealing is with sometimes harder to comprehend and harder to actually understand that somebody could actually do and behave in this way. as schools broke up this afternoon, hundreds and hundreds of students from across the city gathered in a park opposite the al noor mosque where the first attack took place. after the horrific events, it's great to see we are not turning to hatred, we are not turning to darkness, but we are uniting for love and peace. we're letting everyone know, letting the communities know, letting the nations know that these horrific events do not define who we are. as we learn more about the victims of this terrible crime, we found they age from 77 to just three years old. they came from bangladesh and

i should add however that since 2012, the foreign office has had no consulate representation in syria. that was essentially quite a long two paragraph way of saying, we are not going to help with the baby. i know if there is any more, you will bring it to us. thank you very much. america‘s new commercial astronaut capsule has safely landed in the atlantic ocean, completing it‘s test mission. the spacex dragon has spent the past week in space docked with the international space station and was dettached this morning before returning through earth‘s atmosphere. this mission was uncrewed — but the plan is to use the carrier to send the first astronauts into space later this year. our science correspondent pallab ghosh has the latest. it could not have gone any better. a successful splashdown for the dragon spacecraft. a mission where everything went like clockwork. the day began with the crew of the international space station saying good to the capsule they may be using on their next mission. they exit leaving behind the only occu pa nt exit leaving behind the only occupant on t

the meeting was called by syria. live now to james bays. that move by the u.s. incredibly controversial. tell us what is going on with the security council. reporter: in the security council now for nearly 45 minutes, we've been listening to the council members speaking. dominican republic speaking now. it is a picture of 14 against one around the security council table with everyone opposed to the u.s. move. it feels to me and maybe to you watching a little bit like the film groundhog day. 24 hours ago, the security council talked about this in a meeting on the middle east. all of the members of the security council weighed in on this. and now a specific meeting on the goal and. i think that is the most important thing. allowed thisthat meeting to take place. france is the president of the security council. for the meeting, but can't actually call a meeting. france decided to have this meeting and that shows the unease and the anger of some of the u.s.'s closest allies. they wonder what this means for middle east peace. they are also worried about the precedent
