>> yeah, ali. you know, the rain has stopped in the houston area, but it continues to pour in this part of texas. it really is unbelievable. we've basically our team has been in torrential rains for five days straight. we had been trying to make our way into beaumont. all of the roads to beaumont are shut, although we are hearing now that one of the highways, 90 into beaumont has opened up, which is going to be great news for those people. and one of the reasons why miguel had that opportunity with the military is because that was the only way that people in that city could get any help was from the sky, because the help just simply couldn't get in. you have a city of 100,000 people completely isolated with flood waters rising rapidly. a catastrophic situation, more than 26 inches of rain in 24 hours. it's just -- it's hard to wrap your head around. and a lot of people fearing that the flooding there is even worse than what we saw in houston. ali. >> stephanie, what is the weather situation where y

the name they gave me was ali gul pir. this is a really cool song by ali gul pir who is a comedian and rapper who has written about social class issues and stuff. so it is a good fun song. ali raps about society and social injustice. in this video, waderai ka beta, which went viral across pakistan, he raps about the issues the country has with feudalism. as a consequence he is now pretty famous and he agreed to meet me. are you ali? hey. nice to meet you. sorry for being late. long time. i know. how's it going? good, good, good. i feel like i'm meeting a superstar. you should not think that. i look like a bum. ali was jamming with his friends, preparing for a gig the following day. i talk about issues that we face as a society. it is something like there is a song about feudalism, feudal landlords and the power. there is another song about people who stare at women. i grew up with a single mother and i saw her face a lot of that growing up so i made a song about that. youtube was banned in pakistan so i made a song about t

ali velshi picks things up right now. ali velshi, i'm hearing you're going to be potentially hearing from the president a little bit later in your hour. >> we're expecting to hear from the president on opioids. one assumes he's going to touch this topic. but we'll stay on top of it and listen very closely. katy, good to sigh. we'll see you later this afternoon. i'm ali velshi. this hour we're all witness to the beginning of a new era in global tension. an official tells nbc news u.s. spy agencies have assessed that north korea has successfully achieved a crucial milestone of nuclear weapons kuipability. constructing a weapon small enough to vit on a missile. it's something of a chilling culmination after years of tests and threats from north korea. this may end up being the most challenging foreign policy issue the trump administration has ever or will ever face. this afternoon the president is in bridgewater, new jersey. at any minute we're expecting him to hold a late-scheduled major briefing on the opioid crisis. we'll

you know, ali, there's so much to this. first of all, thanks for having me on because i want everybody in the world to understand what took place here, because it's nothing like what this lawsuit says. they cherry picked different things, and i'm happy to talk about every part of it. but this is not -- the president of the united states having an issue picking up the phone and calling me. i've never spoken to the president in my life. and then i, this is what people are saying, i then decided to help the president by going after a grieving family, seth rich's parents, convincing them to higher a private detective, then doing bad things and misleading the private detective. and then, ali, i went over to fox news and said, hey, come join us. this is what people are actually trying to believe and anybody who knows me, knows this is nonsense. by the way, i do have to add one thing, ali. i'm not a fox news contributor. i just appear from time to time. i have to clarify. >> all right. good. thanks for the clir fiction. why did yo

, ali, ali, ali. that is not true. >> no, i don't. >> jimmy: that didn't happen. >> no, i didn't >> jimmy: no, no, you didn't get that. >> i'm clean as snow. >> jimmy: yeah. how is your -- >> no. [ light laughter ] >> jimmy: how is your husband, by the way? >> my husband, george stephanopoulos. >> jimmy: george stephanopoulos. >> yes. >> jimmy: yes. >> he is great. he's probably asleep by now. because he gets up at 2:30. >> jimmy: does he think i'm the greatest golfer in the world? >> he thinks you're the greatest golfer/lover in the world. [ light laughter ] >> jimmy: no, golfer. here, i have a great story. george stephanopoulos. i'm golfing with mario batali. >> yeah. >> jimmy: and i'm playing golf, which is fun. and i go, "i got to split, i got to go to work." and so george came in to do the second half of the nine holes. and he came in and i was like, "oh, i'll do just one more hole." >> so he was, like, your replacement? >> jimmy: yeah. >> he subbed for you. >> jimmy: yeah. >> yeah. >> jimmy: he

i'm ali velshi. we're still following breaking news out of barcelona spain. 123 people confirmed dead, 50 are injured after a van lamd into a crowd of pedestrians in a popular tourist area. i do need to warn you the following video is graphic. it shows the immediate aftermath of the horrible incident that authorities are calling a terror attack. police in barcelona say they have arrested one suspect in connection to the deadly attack. spanish authorities and the u.s. consulate in boors loana are asking people to avoid the popular tourist area known as las ramblas. here are just a few of the firsthand accounts that we've heard this afternoon. >> and all of a sudden all we could hear was screaming and a tidal wave of people coming around the corner from down the street. fear etched in their faces, screaming, yelling in spanish, crying, extremely distesd children. i felt so terrible for them. and immediately my first thought was there's been a terrorist attack. >> people running through the market area,

this is talking about moeen ali being put ona par is talking about moeen ali being put on a par with ian botham because she is such a good all—rounder, i think he got five wickets today. the other great thing, this isjewellery‘s first captaincy, alastair cook handed over the captaincy to him and this is his first series, there was one point when it was going all wrong and now it is going very right and in light of laura muir's fourth—place today, which he could not feel for her more, goodness me, at least we have some triumph in another area of town at old trafford. but not in london. moeen ali, so good with the bat—mac as well, the top scorer. yes, i understand ben stokes did well as well. moeen ali committee did not play well at all in india last year and everyone was writing him off. that is a great thing about cricket, one minute you are the top man and the next thing you are just a feather duster. everyone is selling you a genius again when you do well. so second chances on the bracket are a lwa ys so second chances on the bracket are always good to observe, i think. wel

>> well, good to be with you, ali. it has been a period of time where there was sort of a stunned reaction and then kind of an unease that has been around those who are close to the president. he, of course, did something they did not expect with his remarks, with the tone of his remarks, with the combative nature of it. that was not something that was planned. it put some of those around him really off of what they had expected was going to be a positive infrastructure event that might have turned the corner from what had happened saturday. one of the people that i've talked to today through our communications has been saying that not only stl the surprise about what the president did but this discomfort about what should be the next step. then you have someone like an outside voice michael cone who has been a lawyer and spokesperson for the president at times before he took office who said he felt the need to defend himself against accusations that by being close to the president that he might be a racist. he said th

ali's attorney fired back saying it is false that mr. ali published defamatory statements, there's no evidence of actual malice. joining me, care line heldman who accused bolling of harassment, lisa bloom, civil rights attorney. and on the phone, yashar ali, author of the report on bolling and the target of this defamation suit. i want to start with you, yashar. you tweeted it is important to note that bolling's sumness comes after me and not huffington post. were you surprised when this lawsuit was filed that it didn't include huffington post? >> i'm not surprised because this is a suit without merit. he's doing this to try to intimidate me. and of course he is not going to include huff post, owned by verizon, multi billion dollar conglomerate with a fleet of lawyers because he knows he would be demolished by them. i'm not going to bow down with him, he is going to have to deal with my lawyer, and he is trying to do this to intimidate, attempt to intimidate a young reporter. >> and the huffington post stood by you, lydia paul green, edi

but here is the problem, ali. all of the people that service those places live in houston, in the low lying areas around houston. if they get that much rain here, 24 inches of rain, and those people's homes are flooded and they can't make it in to work those facilities, then they are essentially shut down. it would have an enormous impact on the economy in this country. ali, back to you. >> all right, stephanie. thanks very much for that. to you, to kerry sanders. all right. where is hurricane harvey right now? nbc mooels is following us with us. she joins us now with the latest. >> this is a category 3 storm. and we've been talking about how it would go ahead and strengthen ts it approaches land. it's moving very slowly so it's allowed to pull that warm air up. the 10-mile-per-hour speed of it is really going to be the cause of why it's getting so strong. right now we've got that life-threatening storm surge in place. if you haven't evacuated yet, it is going to be a serious, serious situation tonight, especially

good morning, i'm ali velshi. steve n ste stephanie ruhle is out today. >> north korea best not make any more threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. they will be met with fire and fury and frankly power, the likes of which this world has never seen before. >> the united states has the capability to defend itself from any attack and defend our allies and we'll do so. the american people should sleep well at night. >> the language is so stunning because it contradicts all of the traditions of american military. >> thought kim jong-un had said those remarks. >> following president trump's tough talk, north korea issued a threat of its own. >> north korea saying it's seriously reviewing plans to launch missile strikes on guam. >> u.s. officials are discounting it as part of north korea's continuing anger over b-1 bombers flying over the korean peninsula. >> this man is not lying, he's saying he's going to build an icbm with a nuclear weapon on top to hit americ

ali? >> again, it's a very big residential area and that's why we're unclear how long it will take to get people who want to get out from there, maya will we check back in with you. >> reporter: ali, actually one more thing, it looks like they have rescued a deer here, i don't know if you can see right here, a deer from the floodwaters, we have all kinds of people out here rescuing -- poor thing looks very scared, very wet, looked to have an injury on its right side there. >> yes, all right, we'll stay on -- >> and we had seen a deer earlier. >> just when i took over from katie, i saw there was a deer. and there you see the president coming out from air force one, they're getting into ta vehicle and they're going into the response control center. let's have a look at the most up to date radar images of tropical storm harvey. that storm is still dropping rain, beaumont is east of houston, it's close to the border of louisiana, which is also seeing heavy rain from this storm. stephanie of co

moeen ali ripped through this. moeen ali ripped through the remaining batting order, he got five wickets, man of the match and man of the series, a superb summer so far for him. where does this leave the sides? 20 of doubt around south africa after a poor champions trophy earlier in the summer. england moved ahead of australia in the world rankings ahead of the ashes this winter but significant doubts over their batting lineup. jennings hasn't convinced in this series. having said that, in his first series as captain and without a series win at all for england in the past year, joe root will be pretty happy this evening. barcelona defeated chapecoense 5—0 in the joan gamper trophy at camp nou on monday, but it wasn't really about the result. the match was a chance to honour the brazilian side after a devastating plane crash last november that killed 19 players and 2a club officials when they were on their way to face colombian‘s atletico nacional in the final of the copa sudamericana. on an emotional night for

>> absolutely, ali. i think it bears reminding the audience that we've seen belligerence and even attacks from north korea in the past where it p hasn't led to all-out war. you had the sinking of a south korean vessel by the north koreans. the chong yang. you've had firing of missiles on south korean islands and territory from the north korea. you've even had cyberattacks in the infrastructure of south korea, the dark soul attacks on the south korean banking system. so you've had episodes of north korean aldepression, even military aggression leading to the loss of life that hasn't been the slippery slope to dramatic all-out war. that said, this has to be an issue of constant coordination with south korea, with japan to make sure there isn't over reaction and to make sure not only that the rhetoric but also our responses don't cause a flash point that could lead to a broader war. the challenge here is that north korea is volatile and they've been conditioned to brings man ship. they've been conditioned t

>> yeah, ali. you're making a striking point the governor is telling here to remain calm, no reason for chaos, that people should go about their regular daily basis but at the same hand if north korea did file ballistic missiles at this island they could reach here in 14 minutes. so certainly folks here weighing both of those with a grain of salt, trying to remain calm and carry out their every day business, but also knowing is that if missiles were fired here, they could reach here in 14 minutes. many of the locals we have been speaking to seem to have mixed opinions. some saying they've heard this type of rhetoric before, just a few years ago. they're not overly concerned. others saying they haven't heard this kind of rhetoric at this level in recent times, so they certainly are concerned. many of them are kneeleding phone calls from family back in the states, asking if they're safe, if they're okay. of course, this is a very heavily military presence on this island. some 30% military. there's a

i have to turn it over to ali velshi who will pick up. we'll keep this up because this is -- this is dramatic. the story that has been playing out again and again in houston as you see this rescue worker, this police officer -- >> see that little girl being brought over in floaties. >> gabe, thank you and please, stick around. >> gabe, stay right where you are. this is very compelling. we're not going anywhere, we're staying with this picture. these are rescues in houston, we're monitoring rescues in how fast houston and nearby richmond. if you're familiar with sugarland, richmond is next to it. these are rescue workers taking children off their parents hands while the parents carry their belongings and get to safety. these are active rescues under way, gabe gutierrez is standing by. he has been nar rating this for us. for those viewers who have just joined us, tell us what we're looking at. >> reporter: here, ali, we're here on the northwest side of houston just north of i-10 near highway 6. highway 6 is shut down. it's north of the attu

kind of unprecedented ali. to see a storm system like this over land and continue to be a tropical storm. >> right. we're just used to them, may take hundreds of miles to do it, but peter off, keep on weakening. >> it's writhing its own history. >> this business that it's slowing down to 7 miles per hour. is that good or bad? >> that's bad. that is the fear with it. it did strengthen, we were concerned about the winds but the rain is the threat. the fact that it's not moving and holding its intensity means that you're going to have these heavy rain bands for days on end. moving towards more populated areas as well. >> right. >> it's about drainage and flooding and a lot of damage. we'll think about it -- >> with katrina, the real damage didn't happen right away. there was a latency with this it. that's the same situation with this. mold problems, drinking water problems. people got to think about what's going to be happening, not only tonight but a week down the road from now. >> absolutely. steve, thanks for y

ali velshi picks me up. >> have a good afternoon. >>> i'm ali velshi, and president trump is back in washington, d.c. this afternoon. he continues to deal with the fallout after waiting to condemn the white supremacists after the deadly riots in charlottesville. no word if they will say anything further. he has been tweeting about it. when the president comes out, we'll bring you his remarks live. he has faced a score of protesters here in manhattan. they are unsure about his tepid response to saturday's clashes. some are chanting, quote, you have blood on your hands, and the backlash is hitting the white house. another one of the manufacturing council has resigned. here's what he tweeted this morning. he said, i am resigning from the manufacturing jobs initiative because it's the right thing for me to do. three ceos of major companies resigned from the council bringing the total to four. although scott paul is a big deal because he represents several companies. president trump not letting this goe go. he tweeted a few hours ago for every ceo that drops out of the council, i have man

moeen ali putdown jermaine shane, first ball, a duck. moeen ali putdownjermaine blackwood. it could have been better for putdownjermaine blackwood. it could have been betterfor england. 169. a healthy lead into the lunch interval. england were under some pressure given they were so far behind in the test. they lost alastair cook. they also lost tom, a play attracted secure his —— player trying to secure his place. and then this happened with shannon gabriel. joe root has been dropped, even out lbw, but overturned it. england want a decent total on the board. they have a long batting lineup, but they will need every wicket given how this test match has gone so far for them. if they can ball in a decent partnership, it is a high scoring ground. —— goo. it is whether we have good spells with enough wickets in hand. lam happy i am happy so far with how things have gone. there is a long way to go. we just have to make sure tomorrow morning is as hard as we can do. any figures in your mind you wa nt to can do. any figures in your mind you want to keep? anything under150 s

. >> i'm ali velshi. nbc's peter alexander is with vice president mike pence in colombia for an exclusive interview. we'll be hearing from him in just a moment. >>> deadly attack in charlottesville, virginia, 20-year-old spectacular james alex fields just and in court within the last hour. he's accused of ramming his car into a crowd killing one woman and injuring 19 others. >> plus president trump will meet with attorney general jeff sessions and fbi director christopher wray. the president facing criticism for not explicitly condemning the role of white supremacists in the deadly protest. >> we condemn in the strongest possible terms they egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides. on many sides. >> president trump yesterday stated clearly that he condemns hate and violence in all of its forms. >> they made a very strong statements that directly contradicted the ideology of hatred, violence, bigotry, racism, white supremacy. though things must be condemned in this country. they are

they needed moeen ali, who soothed the nerves of everyone. he made 84 beautiful runs. he batted at number eight. no one is better at that position in the world. chris woakes was at nine. they hoped to get some west indian batsmen out. england did not take any wickets but then the chances of victory on the fifth day. we may see jimmy anderson's chances of victory on the fifth day. we may seejimmy anderson's 500 chances of victory on the fifth day. we may see jimmy anderson's 500 test cricket. it is not certain. you hopefully want to bowl. it was overcast. it is nice to bat when the sui'i overcast. it is nice to bat when the sun is out. when it is overcast, it is not as easy. it is a bit slippery. hopefully i can get a good bowl tomorrow. the eu relish that every i will be a new tomorrow? -- do you relish. —— eye will be on you. i hope so. bangladesh hold a lead of 88 runs with nine wickets remaining heading into day three of the first test against australia. shakib al hasan took figures of five for 68 as his side dismissed the tourists for 217 in their opening innin

>> ali, it's good to be here. the number one thing viewers need to understand is steve bannon, who i know well, i've covered him since last summer, since the presidential campaign, steve bannon has never been loyal to donald trump. what steve bannon is loyal to is the economic nationalist agenda that breitbart was pushing forward and steve bannon tried to enact in the white house. steve bannon is going to be loyal to that agenda. if the trump white house deviates from that, all bets are off. breitbart, as we've seen, is already willing to go to war with the white house. if donald trump thinks steve bannon will be on the outside, a surrogate or advocate for him, if he doesn't follow through on the conservative populist agenda that bannon wants, i think the president is highly mistaken. >> in this article you say the two clashed fiercely on personnel and domestic policy decisions. in the final weeks bannon was relentlessly tarred as a prime west wing leaker. bannon's allies make a similar case against kushner. banno

then the soothing strokes of moeen ali took hold. he changed the game. 84 runs as beautiful as they were valuable. when he went chris woakes remained. the england number nine pushing their lead beyond 300. when west indies solve one problem, and other prom ptly indies solve one problem, and other promptly appears. the west indies will be pleased they did not lose a wicket in that final session tonight. a bold declaration from the england captain, joe root. it was. not what many people expected. he declared without letting james anderson backed. perhaps the first sign of him putting his stamp on the england captaincy, not something many people think that alastair cook would have done. england still well on top. james anderson will fancy his chances of taking his 500th test wicket tomorrow that he needs another three to stop we saw moeen ali with a bat. the picture is starting to spin. that will make it difficult for the west indies for that there was still hope to take something from the match but england are well in charge. that is s

ali, one point i haven't heard made. remember 17 years ago "uss cole" was holed by a small al qaeda suicide vessel that rammed into the side of that ship and 17 sailors were killed. you know, this has huge implications. this isn't just about collisions in the sea. these ships are vulnerable. not just in the pacific but all over the world. so this is a really thorough review carried out by naval investigators and by outside investigators and the commander of u.s. naval operations says there will be a tight time line. he wants this done quickly to correct things so this will not happen again. >> bill neely, thanks very much. bill neely from seoul, south korea. tonight president trump is going to unveil his afghanistan strategy first prime time address to the nation in the speech to congress after the inauguration. when asked about any troop increase over the weekend, secretary of defense mattis had this to say. >> i was not willing to make significant troop lifts until we knew what was the strategy, what was the commitment

ali, what do we know now? you updated us, but let's bring us up to speed. >> we're getting more details now. we're hearing it was a white van that jumped the sidewalk and plowed into several people in that popular street in barcelona, which is very popular with tourists. we just heard from the eyewitness, you were talking to, we're also getting unconfirmed reports, i have to stress unconfirmed reports, from spanish media that said witnesses saw the assailant jump out of the white van and run off from the scene of the incident. we don't know if the police have caught him or if he's still at large. but people are saying that they saw a man jump out of a white rental van and run off from the scene. now, the full details of this are not immediately clear, ali, but it does bear the hallmarks of recent terrorist attacks we have seen where people have used vehicles as a weapon. since 2016, some 100 people have been killed in vehicle attacks in nice, berlin, london and stockholm. it is very worrying that this has happ

the three men who were known as the three musketeers, ali hussein and rahman set upa musketeers, ali hussein and rahman set up a messaging group on the app telegram and called it three musketeers. it was said in court that they basically began to plot on that they basically began to plot on that messaging group and they wanted to carry out an attack. the court heard that the possible target for that until it was not specifically determined in terms of evidence, the target was not to be a member of the british police the british military. this trial has been going for months now, hasn't it? it has been going on for months. some of the witnesses have been cross—examined. 0ne undercover police officer who was is called vincent in court was cross—examined for two weeks which is quite extraordinary. he was cross—examined because the defence tried to imply he had planted the evidence in ali ‘s car. the police also found a samurai sword in a car belonging to aziz. he was a member of banned islamist group and owns an elderly men. ali and hussein to a terrorist training camp in 2011 i

i want to bring in ali risk now he's a contributor with al ali is it possible for the syrian army to break this siege it certainly looks like an intimidating situation if you look at the map in the terrorists' presence that. hello ali can you hear me ok this is neil harvey in the moscow studio. i can hear now you go you know excellent i'm just saying how possible will it be for the syrian army to break this siege it seems like they're surrounded on all sides by a terrorist presence so how feasible is the task. no was definitely feasible the syrian army has made important advances towards that city particularly from the outskirts of iraq i think you have to take a few elements into consideration the cease fire agreement which was reached between russia the u.s. and jordan in southwestern syria that has actually actually allowed the syrian armed forces to dedicate. more and free basically freed up more of syria's military to go ahead and launch this attempt to break the siege on they resort to another important element when we talk about they do so to militarily is that it's mostly a d

with the actual photos began coming and i just want to show you some of them so here is the photo of ali hopefully you can see it on the left side of the screen and you can see sari on the right side and what you. see on the left is the screen shot from our video as you can see the resemblance is absolutely evidence now the person who contacted was ali's aunt and what she said was that apparently the father of all he is now dead but at least his mother stayed in touch with the family last time that happened was about a year ago and we can also show you a different photo where apparently we can see ali with his mother and in the top right corner there's the flag of islamic state which is of course a horrendous horrendous story what we know about this boy is that his family back in russia the really big. mother to try and send him back to russia but that never happened so what about other children besides ali so of course again i was saying it is very difficult to find the parents of these children but we got other e-mails we got more photos and here's salt on the rod his story is very sim

and moeen ali spins england to a series win over south africa. we‘ll have more on england‘s test victory later, but let‘s start with athletics and day 4 of the world championships. olly foster can round—up the day‘s action at the london stadium. good evening. we arejust good evening. we are just catching her breath here, a breathtaking night all around, some top athletes we saw her in action. yet again however, the british team have fallen short of the medals in the final race of the evening on the track, the women‘s 1500 metres final, laura muir who is doubling up on the 1500m and the 5000 metres, she was in the final and she was going so well. she was in the place but was reeled in, look how close this was. caster semenya just catching her for bronze this was. caster semenya just catching herfor bronze by this was. caster semenya just catching her for bronze by seven hundredths of a second. caster semenya, her stronger discipline is the 800m, she will be going again in that. faith kipyegon, the olympic champion was the winner. jenni

khobaib hussain and naweed ali were givenjobs there, and when ali went out on a delivery, they searched his car and found a cache of weapons. there was a partially constructed pipe bomb, a meat cleaver with the word "kafir", or "unbeliever", scratched onto the blade. and a replica handgun. this plot was foiled, but the release of more terrorists from prison could lead to future problems. the fact that people are being released and you know that they're terrorists, they have been convicted of terrorist offences, they are being released back into society and there's no reason to think that they have been de—radicalised. i think society across the world needs to ask themselves the question. are you happy with that? ali and hussain come from spark hill in birmingham, where a local charity works with the home office on counter radicalisation. so can someone's view become more extreme after they've been to prison? if they've bumped into somebody inside who is actually grooming them and radicalising them then, yes, of course. but if they are provided with the right support and then they basi

heather watson is out — beaten in her opening match by alie cornet. england are in control of the second test against west indies at headingley, having built a lead of over 300 runs and will hope that they can bowl out the visitors on the final day tomorrow to take a 2—0 lead in the series. joe root helped establish a lead at the start of the day, as moeen ali produced a big score to build on that this afternoon. with a run down of the day's play today, here's patrick gearey. i think there is a good case for this being the best test match we have had all summer. momentum has switched both ways. this superb contest between the teams. tickets for today, some of them were £15. if you paid that, you would have got very good value for money. roll—up for headingley‘s holidays sale. plus, withjoe root right now, you are sale. plus, withjoe root right now, you a re pretty sale. plus, withjoe root right now, you are pretty much guaranteed to see him past 50. it was a surprise to everyone when he faulted, including shady hope. this was a catch he dare no

he transcends the sport in the same way that maradona and muhammad ali did in their heyday. sebastian coe says it is going to be a challenge to replace the void that usain bolt will leave when he retires. we should not be sitting there saying, you're going to find another usain bolt any more than boxing suddenly found another muhammad ali. when muhammad ali retired, left the sport, the blood line does not suddenly dry up and stop where the arguably pound for pound? in some casesjust as arguably pound for pound? in some cases just as good? some would argue some were better. yes, absolutely. we're not going to replace usain bolt. not because you will not have a trophy cabinet full of three back—to—back olympic doubles and relays and world championships, you're not going to replace him because of his personality dominated notjust the sport, it dominated every sport out there. the big question is after all the big build up, will he successfully defend that title over this weekend? in 2015, he had no rights to win the 100 metre title in beijing because he was not in good shap

i would like to actually first introduced brother bilal ali, the maryland delegate. [applause] [speaking in native tongue] in the name of the law, most merciful and compassionate being the only state legislator from baltimore city, i know how it feels to be alone and ostracized. the point i want to make is this. first of all, i want to thank the tam group. this is so necessary in the process of educating the public

the name they gave me was ali gul pir. are you ali? hey. nice to meet you. sorry for being late. long time. i know. how's it going? good, good, good. i feel like i'm meeting a superstar. you should not think that. i look like a bum. ali was jamming with his friends, preparing for a gig the following day. i talk about issues that we face as a society. it is something like there is a song about feudalism, feudal landlords and the power. there is another song about people who stare at women. i grew up with a single mother and i saw her face a lot of that growing up so i made a song about that. youtube was banned in pakistan so i made a song about that. ali wanted me to go with him to his gig — so of course i said yes. we set off on a road trip. it was the first time ali would ever be playing in hyderabad and he was excited. and so was i. i left the band to go and prepare for the show elsewhere. this could not be more different from the image most people get when you think of pakistan. we are watching two beat boxers perform to an audience full of young people eating pizza and enjo

i'm ali velshi. three weeks ago today donald trump jr. said he wanted to be, quote, totally transparent when it came to his election season meeting with a russian banker. since then the story has repeatedly evolved. who was there? what did they talk about? today the story is evolving again and it could be a game changer. this is what we were told on july 16th about president trump's involvement with donald jr.'s initial statement about that meeting with the russian lawyer. >> the president was not -- did not draft the response. the response was -- came from donald trump jr. i'm sure in consultation with his lawyer. let me say this, the president -- i do want to be clear, the president was not involved in the drafting of the statement and didn't issue the statement. it came from donald trump jr. that's what i can tell you because that's what we know. >> okay. so that was pretty clear, right? until this point we've had no evidence to believe that president trump had anything to do with the statement. that was until this report from the wash
