and ali went with that. the reverend louis ferrick and about three or four years later reinstituted the nation of islam -- reverend farrakhan -- when he broke with the sun. so no come he became just for lack of better words a normal muslim for the rest of his life. which was what happened with malcolm x. that's when malcolm x got in trouble with the nation of islam because he had become a regular muslim and not a member of the nation of islam. iyes, sir. >> howard cosell and ali always claimed they maintained a friendship as you can see. >> yeah. i mean, i think they were friends bu but i think it's a business relationship, you know? i think they both got a lot out of it from each of their perspectives. howard afforded him as stage to work on, and he afforded howard a stage to work on. i think they were friendly, but i don't think they went out to dinner a lot, you know. ali was walking out of what it is court dates with one of his lawyers, and he said to our reporter come he said, i don't have any white fri

with nixon and ali, before the fight ali said that. he said nixon won't have anything to do with me but that was part of elliott's rant about the whole thing. >> i was at the airport many years ago and a flight from atlanta came in and guess who came off the plane. we locked eyes very briefly and without even thinking about my hand went out to him and he put his hand up to me and we shook hands. the most famous guy i will probably never meet. >> he was very friendly. he wasn't put off fish or anything like that. >> he had a great curiosity about people. he was buried pleasant. my big memory the first bite i covered was when he flawed chuck wepner. there was a movie that just came out about chuck wepner. i was young and i went to richfield ohio and it was 45 minutes from cleveland so i went to the car. it was there for the "boston globe" and i drove out the day before the fight. i didn't know the media mostly got on the bus and went out and they got taken back on the bus. i drove in the car and after the way and everybody got on the bus

ali . there's 1 million bucks on muhammad ali out there and why should there beanother book? that's a very good question, why is this guy writing this book . the last book i wrote was about evil knievel and i finished that and we were talking, what i should do next to my publisher and i think most writers wanted sort of an obscure story that nobody knows, a seabiscuit kind of thing where america all of a sudden discovers this great story and falls in love with it. so i proposed a book about a guy named will mcdonough who was a writer at the boston globe when i was there. he had some mob connections and things like that and told great stories and he was probably the most charismatic guy i knew in my other editor said could you write about a 25 page proposal on this? and i did, i wrote out the 25 page proposal and he turned down and about five seconds he said, you need to write about some iconic athlete. so i wrote a list of iconic athletes and i wrote johnny unitas, bill russell, walter payt

for our last hour of coverage, my friend ali velshi takes it away here. >> good evening, i'm ali velshi, breaking news right now after seven years of campaigning and long-held promises senate republicans have been soundly defeated in their attempt to repeal obamacare. the loss comes after they lost one last-ditch effort to kill the bill that they have derided for so long. it looks like it all came down to senator john mccain who received a round of applause as he walked into the chamber, signaling the thumbs down and keeping the affordable care act the law of the land. msnbc's garrett haik has been with us through the evening, garrett, i think that is your camera on senators -- you have a different camera. there are senators mike enzy leaving the senate chamber, tell mu me how it went down from your perspective, you said people didn't know where john mccain was going on this. >> i think six hours ago this result would have surprised a lot of people, after that press conference this evening where john mccain, lindsey graham, ron johnson and others said they would vote for the bill if the

handing to ali velshi in new york going solo. >> i'll try to do a good job. i'm ali velshi. stephanie ruhle is off. let's get started. >> plmpz latest performance review unflattering. his approval rating falling to 36%. >> his disapproval numbers are higher than bill clinton or barack obama. >> this week marks six months since the trump administration was sworn into office. >> i don't know how many meetings he had in total. i don't know whether most of them were listed. >> the changing story is embarrassing. the changing story is stupid. the changing story is a mistake. >> this is about as clear evidence you could find of intent by the campaign to collude with the russians. >> level of credibility from senior levels of administration really is suspect, and i think suspect regardless of which political party you belong to. >> opposition research is a big part of the campaign. >> doesn't go on with the russians all the time, jay. >> here is what happened. first of all, nothing happened. >> a lot more disclosures ahead that follows the pattern of all these leaks from apparently

my colleague and friend ali takes it from here. >> good spending the evening with you. breaking news right now. after seven years of campaigning and long held promises, senate republicans have been soundly defeated in their attempt to repeal obamacare. the loss comes after they launched one last ditch effort to kill the bill that they have derided for so long, with a peared down skinny obamacare repeal bill three hours after taking up a late night volt that resulted in this failure. it looks like it came down to senator john mccain who received a round of applause as he walked into the chamber signalling a thumbs down and keeping the affordable care act the law of the land. with us through the course of the evening following this closely, i think that's your camera on senators. me how it withstand down from your perspective. we talked moments before this and you said people didn't know where john mccain was going on this. >> it was interesting. i think about six hours ago, this result would have surprised a lot of people. after that press conference this evening where j

as easy as 1—2—3... a hatrick for ali sees england go 2—1 up in the series against south africa. a deal‘s been done... la say they'll take 2028, with paris getting the 2024 games they wanted and 4 days before the start of the athletics world championships, london loses one of it's stars of the track. good evening, the topsy turvy test series saw england go 2—1 against south africa today. after a big win at lords, a heavy defeat at trent bridge, it was another one sided result at the oval as joe root‘s team won by 239 runs. the tourists were always up against it, needing to bat out the final day with a draw realistically the best they could have hoped for. england needed just 6 wickets, toby roland—jones took two of them in two balls by lunch and though opener dean elgar made a century he was just delaying the inevitable..his wicket was the first in a moeen ali hatrick to seal the win. the final test starts at old trafford on friday. 0ur sports correspondent joe wilson was at the oval. voiceover: £20 got you today. for the kids, a quid. remember england came into the test

mark, good to see you. >> hey, ali. you took a look not just at the whole country as a number of other polls have been doing, but how people are doing in those counties and those parts of the country that voted for donald trump. >> absolutely. and ali, you mentioned there are a slew of new polls out there. first to the national polls, there have been actually four polls nationally in the last 24 hours and they all show a very similar tale. you have between 36% and 40%. and that's been pretty much unchanged over is the last couple of months. but as you mentioned, we ended up having a brand-new nbc wall street journal poll the counties that helped fuel his victory. the most competitive states, is places like michigan, pennsylvania, wis and florida. what we found is that in these counties his job approval rating is at 50% s. that's ten points higher than what we've seen from the national polls. but there's two different kinds of counties that ended up fuel a president trump victory in 2016. the first are these trump surger

ali: correct. people are crowdsourcing routes. they tell us where they live and work, and whether -- and where there is critical mass, we launch a twice-daily service in the a.m. and p.m. with frequencies of 10 minutes. the of thelar service area continues to go up, we add more chariots to the route. in san francisco, we have routes with frequencies of three minutes. vonnie: it strikes me that there is a peak point after which it becomes really difficult. if you are in high traffic areas, and you're adding traffic to that, the -- does that become counterintuitive? ali: there was a report that keynes out that. -- there was a report that says cheruiyot takes -- there was a report that said cheruiyot takes 10 cars off the road. sustainable mode of commute, and economically sustainable. vonnie: are you profitable yet? growth-mode right now. there is a lot of investment in chariot. vonnie: when do you anticipate making a profit? ali: we will continue growing and investing. vonnie: you must have a five-year plan? ali: as long as we cont

i'm ali velshi. stephanie is off. stories we're watching, white house has new chief of staff john kelly, sworn in by president trump. he's inside the full cabinet meeting at the white house as chief of staff. used to go to those as cabinet secretary. in russia vladimir putin cutting u.s. diplomatic staff. he said 755 staff will be removed from their roles in the country. the cold waresque punishment is in response to sanctions. four arrested for a plot to bomb an airplane in australia. they arrested after intelligence of islamic-style attack. security is tightened at airports as police continue to inveigate eincident. >>> also today republican senator john mccain begins trt for an aggressive brain tumor. his office says he's expected to return to washington by the end of the august recess. jury deliberations have begin in the trial of martin shkreli. he's called most hated man in america for spiking lifesaving aids drug. we'll bring you the verdict as soon as it comes out. we've been talking about the president's lase

. >> i'll try, ali. but the starting point for this, i think, is last night when mitch mcconnell said we're not going with that old plan of repeal and replace. we're going to repeal, replace. capped off the discussion of the previous bill. we're not talking about vote counts on that bill any more. that's ancient history. most republican senators voted for in 2015. well, it turns out there are at least moderate republicans who aren't ready to go down that road. voting for this bill now which will repeal obamacare outright and delay that repeal for two years. you had three republican women senators all come out and say, we're not going to do this. we're not going to vote for something and for various reasons leave people unprotected or unsure about what might come down the pipe. that leaves mitch mcconnell in a bad place. he can't bring this discussion to the floor. you heard from him just now, they're pushing for it. and conservatives are aligned and pushing for it and a lot of other republican senators a

more news with ali velshi and stephanie ruhle. i trust you're in nice cool ac. >> keeping it sweaty in d.c., nice. >> i'm going to let that thought go by. good morning, i'm ali velshi. >> and i'm stephanie ruhle. so much to cover, let's get you started. >> american in paris, president trump meets the french president but cannot escape the scandal du jour. >> i like him. >> looking for more positive headlines with the white house particularly paralyzed with the russia matter back in washington. >> that short news conference later on today, he will almost certainly face questions about his son's meeting with a russian lawyer during the campaign. >> they should have somebody like me on the staff. they should have had somebody to look into this thing and say, maybe this is a bad idea. >> jared kushner's security clearance, he should have one, right? he's a white house adviser. >> yeah, i think the bigger qui why jared kushner still has a job. >> people start talking under oath instead of just talking out into the air waves where they

." >>> i'm ali velshi with n"msnbc live." the white house douming down the defense of donald trump jr.'s meeting with a kremlin connected lawyer during the campaign. deputy white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders saying there is nothing wrong with the president's son meeting with the russian lawyer after being promised damaging information on hillary clinton as first reported by "the new york times." >> i've been on several campaigns, and people call offering information. as i know many of you receive similar calls of people offering information. don jr. took a very short meeting from which there was absolutely no follow-up. the only thing i see inappropriate about the meeting is the people who leaked the information on the meeting after it was voluntarily disclosed. >> if this sort of meeting is normal practice in the campaign, do you know if there were any other meetings that either donald trump jr. or other representatives of the trump campaign had with other russian officials or any other foreign agent? >> i do

it's a hatrick for ali as england go ahead in the test series against south africa there's a significant vote by liverpool fans in favour of safe standing...but will it ever be seen at anfield it's a massive week for england's footballers at the women's euros. they are now favourites for the title. imad ascot thinning at frankie dettori feels about his son following in his footsteps. good evening, lots coming up. the latest from madrid and a taxing day for cristiano ronaldo and we'll also look ahead to the world athletics championships that start in the london on friday. england's cricketers have been playiong in the capital for the past five days , and they have gone 2—1 up in the test series against south africa. the tourists were always up against it, needing to bat out the day with a draw , realistically the best they could have hoped for with england needing just six wickets, toby roland—jones took two of them in two balls by lunch and though opener dean elgar made a century he was just delaying the inevitable. his wicket was the first in a moeen ali hatrick to seal a 239 run vi

>> reporter: it is confusing, ali. the headline is obviously his spokes dzman confirmed that manafort came in to do an interview with the senate intelligence committee this morning and managed to sneak by our centuries posted outside of the committee came and went. the dispute and part of the reason we're also talking about manafort facing a subpoena from capitol hill, is that the senators in the senate judiciary committee want to see what it is that manafort said to intelligence committee investigators behind closed doors. and so far it seems they have not made an agreement to do that so essentially the judiciary committee has demanded that manafort show up and make a public appearance at the long planned hearing tomorrow. i caught up with the committee's chairman chuck grassley a few minutes ago. take a look what he had to say. >> we want manafort like we want trump jr. to come and other people that we're going to call in. and the point is that we're willing to give all sorts of accommodations but we can't mess aroun

ali velshi picks things um right now. >> have a great weekend. who saw that coming? for the past two years that's been perhaps the fundamental question in all of politics. think about it. nearly every day any news story orbits around that central theme. who could have predicted the 2016 election where in a field of more than a dozen candidates with last names like bush and clinton an eccentric tv reality star and billionaire would emerge as the winner. donald trump apparently now the voice of the common man. who, who could have foreseen the first few months of the trump administration, plagued with questions about russia with enough palace intrigue to make the kay os of house of cards like boring. and who could have plea dikd that after seven kwlooefrs of saber-rattling, clarm organize for the fiery death of obamacare republicans wouldn't sb able to scrape together enough votes to touch it. well, it happened. 12 hours later the dust is starting to settle on the latest, possibly most dramatic who saw that coming moment so far. we're just now coming up for air, so in c

chris morris was out just before lunch, moeen ali was in the game. that dismissal left england needing just three more wickets to win the match and when they came, they came ina match and when they came, they came in a rush. first, brave dean elgar fell... rabada in a rush. first, brave dean elgar fell... ra bada out in a rush. first, brave dean elgar fell... rabada out first ball, nine down, could moeen ali win the match with three wickets in three balls, eventually, the computer, and the umpire, said yes. there is no bad way to win a test but as finishes goes, this was one of the best. —— as finishes go. studio: the playwright and hollywood actor sam shepard has died. he was nominated for an academy award for best supporting actor for his portrayal of pilot chuck yaegar in the right stuff, and received the pulitzer prize for drama in 1979 for his play buried child. he was 73. we'll be rejoining sophie in belgium shortly, but first, time for a look at the weather. there was some sunshine to be had today, that is only half the story, also a lot o

stephanie and ali, thank you so much. and right now on "andrea mitchell reports," flat line, in a major setback, mitch mcconnell gives up on the senate health care bill, and goes to plan c, repeal only, replace later. but will this also be doa? >> congress needs to do their job and congress needs to do their job now. >> i regret the effort it repeal and immediately replace the failures of obamacare will not be successful. that doesn't mean we should give up. we will now try a different way to bring the american people relief from obamacare. i think we owe them at least that much. >> we're going to have to pull our ranks together it seems to me to get it done. there is a lot of -- a lot of infighting. >> it is a bill that simply repeals, i believe that will add to more uncertainty. >> dine and dash. president trump wining and dining senate republicans just before the bill's collapse. with an awkward get well message for john mccain. >> and i can tell you, we hope john mccain gets better very soon. because we miss him. he's

>> ali? you got me, is kristen? it sound like she can hear me. >>ic hear you. reask your question. >> haven't even gotten that far. anthony came in there. he feels fun, he was light. he was enjoying a great rapport with everyone. maybe even setting a new scene. and then sen sarah huckabee sanders came up there and it was exactly the same. no tone had changed there. tell me how it felt for you inside? >> i think what was evident here today was that this is a reset and that that is what the president wanted as it relates to his communications team. we know that privately he's been very frustrated with his communications team, that he that jared kushner, ivanka, don't feel as though his communications staff has been pushing back vigorously enough as it relates to some of these russia related headline and some of these other controversies that have roild this white house. and so he chose anthony scaramucci, someone who isn't necessarily, someone who has a lot of background in politic. he is a hedge fund person. ace a wall street guy but you can tell he is someone w

and moeen ali was in the game. that dismissal left england needing just three more wickets to win the match. and when they came, they came in a rush. first, brave elgarfell... ta ken by stokes! rabada was out first ball. nine down, could moeen ali really win the match with three wickets in three balls? eventually, the computer, and the umpire, said yes. there's no bad way to win a test, but as finishes go, this was one of the best. joe wilson, bbc news, at the oval. now let's return to the commemorations in belgium to remember the 100th anniversary of the battle of passchendaele. and sophie raworth's there for us. sophie... among the 4,000 guests here at tyne cot for a special ceremony today were descendants of those who fought in the battle of passchendaele. jill barnett‘s father, freddie parsons, was one of those men. he — unlike so many others — survived the war. this afternoon i spoke tojill, who was here with her family for the first time, about her father. we leave you tonight with her reflections as we

joining us now nbc news bureau chief ali arrouzi. if true, this will be -- appear to at least be a big win for both russia's vladimir putin and syria president bashar al assad

the reality is there was an opportunity, particularly with the last bill, the skinny bill, ali, it really did not come together until the last couple of hours. there was not an opportunity to figure out what was in there, that was a problem. >> right, at some point we can't hang it on -- we didn't get enough time. bills are done a certain way, i guess republicans want to fix it. and democrats need to do it the right way the next time. >> that was john mccain's point going forward. you know, republicans tried this by going through this budget reconciliation path, which was a one-party path and going forward it will have to be different, the regular order as john mccain alluded to. that was the big rationale for his vote, look, we have a regular process we have been through in the last several months, that is just not the way to do it. >> so lonnie, i'm going to ask you this, if what mitch

the third fight with ken norton and i undertook the stupid task of promoting this ali fight. neil: i think mcgregor is that kind of fight today. >> well, it may very well be. i don't like to really talk badly about somebody else's fight but i can talk about my fight, ali, it was a disgrace. neil: i do know when ali passed away that encounter was not one of the highlights they went over. let me ask you about the state of boxing today. we chat about this before. i think what confuses boxing today we have so many champions in each division and we have a lot of divisions and, you know, we have so many -- there's not one guy anymore like there used to be and hurt the sport that the people lost interest, what do you say? >> neil, to some extent that is correct but to a greater extent, boxing has been shown virtually completely in the united states in premium television whether it's hbo, showtime and that by very nature gives boxing a very limited audience. now with espn coming on board, boxing will be shown to the public on a basis that everybody will be able to see it, they'll be

actually today, ali, i have seen protesters holding smoke bombs in the air. so when yesterday we saw a different things flying around it was difficult to see who was throwing it. today i'm even more unsure who was throwing what if you like. we do know of course that the police have been using this water cannon and do know they have been pushing protesters back and in fact bit like groundhog day, this is the street where you saw us yesterday, witnessing running battles and that's what we've been seeing today. the difference as i've been mentioning through the day, is that now the protesters are seem to be breaking up in splinter groups and we think what they are trying to do, get to the conseco concert center along the water there. we think quite soon the leaders will be meeting for their dinner. these protesters would really love to make sure that doesn't happen. >> are the protesters closer, physically closer today to the conference center than yesterday? >> reporter: well, i don't think they are. it's a difficult question to answer, we have the same problem

i think ali velshi is right and ron klain. jonathan martin just said on twitter, "news: two arizona republicans with direct knowledge tell me they now anticipate mccain will vote no on skinny." >> wow. >> again, we apologize on behalf of our elected representatives that anything has been labeled skinny. it is a piece of legislation that potentially affects millions of americans. garrett haake, our correspondent in the rotunda. garrett, it's true and maybe it isn't, but is a difficult person to put pressure on. ask the north vietnamese. the other person getting a lot of pressure is lisa murcowski who was a no vote and she took a tweet from the president about this. that was about the interior secretary trying to put pressure on here. we can't see her on the floor on the camera angles, but the producer in the room said there is a large group of republicans around her on the floor potentially working on her as one of the other people who was thought to be a likely or possible no vote and trying to get last minute arm twisting fro

moeen ali, his six wickets sent south africa spinning. indeed south africa spinning. it was all over in barely the blink indeed it was all over in barely the blink ofan indeed it was all over in barely the blink of an eye, the 19th wicket of an astonishing day. forjoe root, in his first game in charge, one to remember. and so a dramatic and emphatic victory for england, there are new era and a new captain is off to the best possible start. —— their new era under a new captain is off to the best possible start. andy swiss, bbc news, lord's. is off to the best possible start. studio: england's women beat defending champions australia in their world cup match by three runs, in a thrilling finish at bristol. runs, in a thrilling the aussies needed a six off their last ball, but couldn't do it. off their last ball, it means england have now won four matches in a row and are top of the standings. four matches in a row wayne rooney has returned to everton from manchester united, 13 years after leaving the club. from manchester united, top sc

health reporter and registered nurse, ali gorman, is live in sent steer with tips on how to stay safe and first we go to karen rogers in the weather center with the details from accuweather. the steamy details -- >> they are steamy rick, we need a cold front, we are looking at the satellite 6 along with action radar and we see a couple of storms out to the west they will fall apart as they reach our area. we are in the heat and staying in the heat. 92 degrees already in philadelphia and the mercury is still climbing, 90 in reading and 91 in allentown and 89 in beach haven and 91 in atlantic city airport. and 91 in dover, delaware. feels hotter than that. it's hot and humid and today is the day that we excessive heat and that warning is in effect today and tomorrow. 97 for your high temperature. 2:00, 94 and 4:00, 96 and 6:00 we come down from the high of 97 with sunshine mixed in with clouds and maybe an isolated shower in one or two spots and most of us stay dry. and you have to wait until 10:00 to get below the 90s and even then staying warm and muggy in the overnight hours. the dew

ali, thank you. >>> let's switch now and take a look at what is being reported as a severe heat advisory across almost one-third of the country with nbc meteorologist bill karins. >> as advertised, today is going to be the peak and then we cool off slightly over the weekend. it's one of those days you have to check on the elderly and watch those kids outside playing too. especially getting plenty of water. so we have about 17 to 18. we keep adding more people. 71 million people are under either a heat advisory or heat

ali? >> yeah. since these large scale protests began in 2009 at g20, before 200 the, as a business reporter, i used to cover these. no one cared. no one went to them. but since leaders started showing up they learned to have car doors and perimeters. the leaders won't encounter this. they keep the leader entirely separate from it. thank you for pointing out where you are. the g20 is going on as planned. hans nichols, i think he is at the pentagon, hans, you lived in hamburg. tell us what you are seeing and learning. >> i lived in berlin for three years. i know hamburg well. what german police are saying on their official twitter feed is that the protest spread to st. pauly's. the german police are claiming the protest has been cancelled. the demonstrators that applied and had their permit pulled that permit and that the demonstration is cancelled. at the same time one of the main organizers of the protest, is in hamburg, she is claiming the police started the violence. they initiated it. t

nbc's ali is in london this morning. good morning, ali. this isn't the first time north korea has tested missiles on the fourth of july. >> good morning, dara. that's right. they tested a flurry of missiles in 2009 on the fourth of july and this latest test, the 11th one this year, seems to be designed to have maximum geopolitical effect. again, on the fourth of july, just after president trump spoke with the leaders of south korea and japan on sunday about how to deal with north korea, and ahead of the g-20 summit later this week. according to u.s. pacific command there was a land-based missile that was fired from near panghyon airfield. it flew for about 37 minutes. japanese officials say the missile may have landed in waters claimed by japan as its exclusive economic zone. the u.s. and south korea and japanese officials say the missile reached an altitude of 1500 miles, which would be longer and higher than any other similar test previously reported. it covered a distance of almost 600 miles. u.s. and south korean officials say it was a

>> ali, there has been none. senator murkowski who is recently re-elected, she's popular in alaska, she's not up again until 2022 and by that point donald trump may not be president. this is someone senator murkowski who won a write-in campaign. she is extremely popular there. she told kasie hunt she's not worried about the president's tweets. >> some truth to the fact that after john mccain made his speech yesterday he somehow provided some support for lisa murkowski for having voted the way she did? >> that's right. john mccain came to her on the floor of the senate and he said, you did the right thing, you did the right thing for your state. for someone like lisa murkowski, really for the senators, having john mccain's approval is a good thing. this is little pressure points on the republican senators. i don't know if you remember a couple of weeks ago i talked to lindsey graham. we played the sound bite ad nauseam, if you're looking for cover from the white house, look somewhere else. the republican senators

jonny bairstow and moeen ali making it even easierfor the jonny bairstow and moeen ali making it even easier for the south africans, both out. ben stokes was more unlucky, vernon philander at his best all day with another piece of brilliance. if only england had shown such form. all out by 3pm for 133. we weren't good enough. we prepared well for this game, to good practice days, i think we didn't assess the situation quickly enough and it something we will have to learn. this is an embarrassing first loss orjoe root, whose colleagues will quickly have to get practising ahead of the next test. britain's tom daley and daniel goodfellow missed out on a medal in the ten metre synchro platform final at the world diving championships in budapest. they qualified from the preliminaries in second place, but could only finish fourth in the final. the competition was won by china, with russia second and germany completing the podium. although we did finish fourth, this morning's performance was solid and to have only missed one dive of the 12th was solid and we were consistent, and to finish tw

. >>> nbc news business correspondent ali velshi joins me now. ali, if you're one of the millions who have obamacare and think it's status quo at this point, what is the reality? >> we're not clear what the president wants to have happen. he does have power. one of the lesser known provisions of obamacare is money goes from this administration from health and human services to insurance companies to subsidize them for taking on these insureds. what's happening is because of the uncertainty, even if obamacare doesn't get repealed, insurance companies are worried they'll lose those subsidies. that's why they've been pulling out of some markets. they'll increase premiums as a result of the uncertainty. you could end up with obamacare existing as the law of the land but coverage unavailable but too expensive for average people. >> ali velshi, thank you for your insight. >>> the outraged family of an australian bride-to-be is demanding ansrs over why minneapolis police fatally shot her after she called 911 herself. authorities have confirmed she died

ali, have they lost their minds. this sounds sensible. >> it does and it's important to note there are two. >>s of obamacare for most people. the individual insurance markets, about 7% of all americans actually. then there is the medicaid expansion. that's the bigger part of it. more people benefit from that. within the individual markets, some people saw their insurance rates go up. average people and healthy families. they saw rates go up astronomically. that's a real problem with this. part of the problem here is that the health and human services the government has to give money to the insurance companies as part of obamacare to subsidize low income people who were being insured and the president and tom price said they may not do that. that is now what triggered remarkable instability in the markets and resulted in premiums going up. if this bill passes, more insurance companies will say we will not be able to be in this market. they only make that choice once a year. you will see it at the beginning of 2018. 15

so far ali, it has been fairly peaceful. we did see with clashes with protesters overnight and carriage was set fire. there were eight vehicles damaged in that and as you can see, the police here are fully equipped. let me before we throw it back to you give you a little look around at these water cannon stationed just in the street here prepared for potential clashes because here's what the protesters are hoeching to do. they openly say they want to get further across the city that way to where the world leaders are due to meet. their aim or some of their aim is to try to prevent those meetings from taking place. and the police who have dispatched these water cannon think of the 100,000 protesters who are here in hamburg, around 8,000 are bent on violence -- >> that is typical of g-20s, every city or country that hosts them has to confront the fact there is a base of people who don't like the globalist idea, the idea that thez global leaders of countries that are account for about two-thirds of the world's economy are makin

luckily we have ali velshi here in the studio. ali, tell the good viewers what you just told me in the break about these two versions -- what the senate is passing and praying doesn't go over to the house. >> very strange, for viewers who don't understand this, that the senate is -- there are key members of the republican party in the senate who are trying to extract promises that this won't become a law. that it goes to the house and gets renegotiated in conference. because if it were to become law, under the cbo, 16 million people will lose their health care over the next decade. but here's the important part to remember. of that 15 million who are estimated to lose their health care, or not be insured versus if they had kept obamacare, 15 million will lose their health care by 2018. so the big damage will be done very quickly. insurance premiums will spike 20% on average. by the way, these averages don't often work out which many people will pay a lot more than that. this is a big deal. this is not a procedural matter. if this

and moeen ali turned things around was captain's innings, what a debut and a strong position. sometimes bats men who are captains, being the captain affects them and you end up getting a duck. notjoe, 357-5, a you end up getting a duck. notjoe, 357—5, a strong position indeed. pats off to him. brilliant start. two three other england captains have scored a century in their first test but more the merrier. but still finely poised? i think so. but south africa are a strong side, no doubt about it, weather is good so we look forward to four more days of it. wimbledon, cricket... thank you very much, john i will let you answer your telephone. it was me, guilty as charged! case, thank you to you. that's it from the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers, and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. goodbye from us. hello. at its best today was gorgeous across the southern half of the british isles. many a scene like t

ali is hoping against hope that his brother and his family are still alive. their house was hit in an air strike just a few weeks ago. it was being used by islamic state fighters. ali says that he spoke to his brother on this phone while he was trapped somewhere under the rubble. and then, he stopped answering. all they find here is decaying corpses. it's a similar story everywhere they go. while that was happening, the iraqi prime minister was en route to mosul, to declare the liberation of the city. he arrived draped with an iraqi flag and surrounded by troops who spent the last nine months trying to wrestle the city from is control, in the toughest of battles. even this morning there was the sound of gunfire, the children so used to it, they don't even flinch. this territory up there is still under islamic state control, a small parcel of land. families are making their way through anyway they can to safety. as you can see, they are pretty desperate. it's hard to celebrate freedom from is when you have just been fighting to survive. these families say they

but there is more to this story, ali, that's for sure. i'll take you back to last week and that interview that he did with the new yorker. he says he was off the record. of course the reporter says that wasn't the case. but this profanty laced rant against reince priebus, the former communications director, who wound up leaving in the wake of that. and also against steve bannon. words that are just so vulgar that we can't repeat them on television. based on my conversations here, that really infewer rated, did you say givesed a lot of people here behind the scenes including ivanka trump and the first lady. there is say sense that he had built up some goodwill, that scaramucci was going to be the fresh start and then when that article was published it sort of erased all of that goodwill. in addition to that, think about what he was talking about. it didn't have to do with the president's agenda or foreign policy or health care or tax reform or any of that. anthony scaramucci got into what i think for a lot of folks behind the scenes like a

ali, good to have you with us. obviously, this is the headline this oranmorning all around the world. does this mean that north korea now has a missile capable of reaching the united states? >> good morning, ayman. the nuclear missile technology certainly has advanced to the stage of where it can travel to a lot farther than before. whether that missile can deliver a nuclear warhead is still a question of when it has a re-entry vehicle still yet to be seen. the north koreans don't seem to 52 the technology needed to miniaturize a war head. pyongyang claimed the rocket carried a heavy warhead and accurately hit the waters but that hasn't been confirmed. nonetheless, the fact that north korea tested a missile ned to the first time that they've significantly done so marks a significant advancement in their missile program. some expert says they believe they have the capability to have a missile that can hit alaska. proudly defined the north korean state tv quoted kim jong-un the leader of narc saying this was a gift t

ali gorman channel 6 "action news." >> reporter: welcome back everyone, 5:55 a.m., saturday morning, what a rough couple of days arpd -- around the delaware and lehigh valleys. this front was hanging back toward the north thursday afternoon. we know how hot and humid it was over the last few days, the atmosphere was very, very unstable. because the front moved so slowly, the northwestern suburbs saw this thursday, southern new jersey and delaware saw it yesterday. this is 3d we set it in motion for you, the idea was for this area here to see the severe weather, south jersey and delaware got hit pretty hard, lots of lightning strikes, and flooding damage. millville a lot of streets flooded. the cell that pushed through south jersey, we had rotation reported with that. it pushed east into mays landing and brigantine. phoenixville, trees and wires down, west chester there was windows damaged and toms river we had a lightning strike at a gas tank that caused a great big explosion there. these are some of the gusts in egg harbor township, 55 miles per hour. millville, 58 miles per hour. n

i'm ali velshi. the battle over republicans' plan, or obamacare are raging on. senate leadership is putting through two new versions of their health care proposals to the congressional budget office over the holiday week, hoping to lower the total number of uninsured over the next decade. mitch mcconnell walking a tightrope of trying to appease, while holding on to the moderates. meanwhile, the white house -- latching on to a proposal from nebraska senator ben sasse saying if you could find a solution now, repeal obamacare straight up, but don't let this take effect for a year and use the momentum to get a real deal done. >> we should do repeal with a delay, let's be clear, i don't want to see anybody thrown off the coverage they have now. a delay so we can we can get straight to work, and i think the president could call on the senate to cancel our august -- and democrats frankly need to stop pretending that obamacare is working. >>> garrett hake is with us. while the rest of us having sitting around for a deal to be made that didn't happen on friday, something

after all, ali, this is what we told the american people we were going to do. as i like to say, it never hurts to do what you said. let's get this through the senate. maybe it's a conference committee, maybe not. let's then get it to president trump's desk. >> the president made an interesting point in the press conference. he said it's threading the needle. you go to the left you lose five on the right and you move to the right you lose three on the left. it's good to do what you promised, but in a lot of ways you guys promised different things. some of you want out of obamacare. some want out of the expansion of medicaid. some want obamacare fixed, some want the exchanges fixed. i think this is becoming an issue within the party. >> but we all voted to actually repeal it. 50 senators voted to repeal it. every republican who came back in the house voted to repeal it. we put on then-president obama's desk a bill i hope we put on president trump's desk. repeal it first, separate bill to replace. if that's the strategy we take, i am for that. we're trying to do t
