laura: ambassador richardson, thank you for joining us. mr. richardson: thank you. laura: it has now been a week since jonalist jamal khashoggi was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul. there are no pictures of him leaving, and n the turkish president has challenged saudi authorities to produce evidence that he is safe. mr. khashoggi left his country last year, fearing retribution for his criticism of saudi policy. expressed many of his opinions in "the washington post." a brief time ago i spoke to his editorah there, karen at are you any closer to knowing the fate of jamal khashoggi? unfortunately, when it comes to any definitive evidence, no, we are not any closer to knowing what happened to him for sure. laura: now, we do know that turkey's foreign ministry said it wants to inspect the saudi consulat yin istanbul. think that could yield anything, or is it rather late after a week? karen: it is rher late, in my personal opinion, after a week -- especially mohammad bin salman, the crown prince, said that reuters could search e consulate. of course, if

diplomat bill richardson who will be speaking to just a moment has left an advisory panel on the range of crisis set up by the government just days ago well which isn't says he resigned fearing a whitewash but the government says he was removed scott leiter has more from the angle. if you listen to government leaders in myanmar this week was supposed to see a trickle of britain's refugees returning to these new repatriation centers in rakhine state they said from tuesday the centers were open and ready to receive but the other country in this equation bangladesh said incomplete paperwork for the refugees is causing a delay no word on just how long some human rights groups think it's much more than paperwork the fundamental problem is that all the operations and set up these plans have been devised these negotiations have been done leaving the refugees outside the door and they haven't been consulted they haven't been talked to and many of the refugees are simply too afraid to go back anywhere near the burmese military also this week the launch of a new commission to follow up from a gr

percent gente the balance in senior management i spoke to china director of human rights watch sophie richardson on skin if the report cherry picks the bad examples ignoring the progress made i think even one is to manage and it's probably safe to say that it was not hard for us to find multiple versions of these ads from each of those companies over the span of about five years but equally problematic our government owned the civil service job listings and we noted that in twenty seventeen about thirteen percent of those and stipulating a preference or requirement for men only and twenty eight thousand that actually went up to nineteen percent so almost one in every five government job that said it was for men only is put by do for example one of the companies that you cite says that almost home and senior mid-level managers are women so the progress although those ads that were mentioned terrible the progress also needs to be emphasized yet amazing how many of these companies have offered that up as some sort of credible explanation or justification for even going to another just criminal tory

diplomat bill richardson who clarified the circumstances around his departure from the wreckage. they're making it up that they let me go they were begging me to stay the national security adviser used on at the last night i was there. what they said was that in public statements that i was pursuing my own agenda yeah my own agenda was basically follow the kofi annan recommendations do something about the refugees stop the human rights atrocities release the two journalists that were detained because freedom of the press is a bedrock of democracy and a kofi anon recommendation of finding out what's going on yeah i was outspoken and on sun suchi my former friend well i still respect or didn't want to hear that this commission was a whitewash she doesn't want to show more leadership because she's afraid of the military the military has enormous power there. she says there's a separation of constitutional rights between the military and her she doesn't want to offend them she doesn't want to take them on but she should say to the military we're in a terrible mess stop these atrociti

richardson: no. i believe the president deserves wiedit for agreeing to mee kim jong-un, but no, i think the stration is speaking wit too many voices. you have got john bolton, the national security adviser, saying the libya model, where qaddafi ded up dead. if i am kim jong-un, i would be very nervous with that. then you have got pompeo, who i think is on the righk, who has met with kim jong-un, state department diplomat, diplomacy. the administration needs speak with one voice, and it should be pompeo, not the vice president, national security, or the president. the president, you know know what he -- you never know what he is going to tweet early in the morning.th that is ong. second thing, forget complete denuclearization. the north koreans aren't going to do it. but it is worthy of the summit io discuss curbing missile use, nuclear use, convel there are a lot of good things that can happen. the situation on the peninsula couldn't be worse, so from the top to the bottom it is the best way to nego

richardson: i don't think so. i believe that the finis definin of denuclearizdeion for both is different. for the united states it is dismantling his weapons. he is not going to do that. he may freeze them. and then he ll probably haggle a lot on inspections and verification. that is where we shouldn't let him off the hook. but maybe long-term denuclearization he is ready to do, but if that is thease he is going to ask for a lot in return. if we thought the marshall plan was very costly after wod war ii, wait until you hear what the north koreans ask for. christian: do you think, in thef wordonald trump, kim jong-un is truly an open and honorable man? mr. richardson: well, you know, he goes from one extreme to the other. this is what is dangerous -- whatever the president is feeling as he is tweeting, that is not how you conduct foreign policy. i don't think necessarily those characterizations are accurate either way. when kim jong-un has become an -- what kim jong-un has done is be,me an international pari rabble

this i am joined here at the big table by marcus kahn for analysis good to see you mr stein and claire richardson she joins us in washington claire let me start with you so what are the biggest takeaway today from president rob what would you say that takeaway is. well this is a truly a momentous moment in u.s. foreign policy history we heard donald trump reiterate a lot of his concerns about the iran nuclear deal that he had expressed beforehand remember it was one of his key campaign promises that he was going to pull the united states out of what he saw as a poorly negotiated a bad deal for the united states now of course that goes completely counter to what the united states european allies wanted to see we've seen weeks of lobbying by both chancellor merkel and french president and the new immigrants here in washington d.c. to try to convince him otherwise but he came out strongly today pointing to some of these issues that we've heard about before reiterating that he thinks that the deal is too weak that it doesn't address things like what he calls sunset clauses that allow some restriction

from keeping us guessing they're clear richardson in washington and new york thank you very much both of you for the analysis. british prime minister of the reason may reached a breakthrough in her breakfast strategy after a meeting with senior ministers at her country residents may finally agreed britain's position on what she calls a u.k. e.u. free trade area the proposal could be a relief for british companies many of which have recently expressed concern due to britain's uncertain future big and small companies alike are worried including a manufacturer of black caps for london. it's a classic british icon the blackcap but the company behind this innovative electric powered taxi is joining the fleet of comic is concerned by brick says during a visit to berlin the chairman of the london evie company pay to foster said mistakes over breaks it could start an erosion. this is. it is a process that will take ten to fifteen years but it would be madness to wake up in the morning in london and read in the papers that there's no car industry in britain it would be a real shame. his concer

richardson in washington thank you very much. well the escalating international trade dispute made itself felt on the markets on friday the looming trade will between the u.s. and china and europe is certainly making invest this global share markets are under pressure even the dow jones lurching into negative territory and kraft build a boeing was among the heaviest loses traders were reacting to their belief that aircraft an agricultural projects would be on the list of retaliatory chinese sanctions and covering the fallout on wall street is a financial correspondent yens caught against what are you hearing there on the floor. well the first round of for you of terrorists on imports from china will kick in on july as six and we will start was the amount of thirty five billion dollars and then china declared friday afternoon that they will retaliate they will also start imposing a tariff on u.s. imports also on july sixth also in the amount of thirty five billion dollars and we will see tariffs on a you as agricultural seafood an

nixon wanted to bring richardson in, kind of mr. straight arrow, because he could redeem the justice department as attorney general, and of course that was all part of trying to suck richardson into the cover-up, which he wouldn't -- >> but nixon, when he brought richardson to camp david, if my memory serves me correct, he had this talk with richardson in which he said, a, don't take the job unless you think i'm innocent. but you have to protect the presidency from the president. so on the one hand, he gave richardson hope that this investigation would be legit and independent, and at the same time, he was sort of asking for a loyalty test, it seems. >> yes. but it really was part of the cover-up. >> yes. >> it was to bring richardson in, and we know from the tapes and the things during this period, it was all a front. >> from the beginning? >> well, i -- yes. from the beginning of nixon's presidency. and this is the point that -- you know, we've written about this. there were all kinds of wiretaps on reporters. >> break-ins. >> bre

diplomat bill richardson has stepped down from the advisory panel to set up a deal with the refugee crisis he was handpicked by the civilian leadership often in ma to self on the committee but bridget's and said he feared the panel was becoming a whitewash and a cheerleading operation for me and mas leader aung san suu kyi have a listen she believes there's a concerted international effort against me amar and i believe she is wrong blames all the problems that we have mars having on the international media on the one hand on human rights groups. on other governments and i think this is caused by a bubble that is around or by individuals that are not giving her frank advice. and for more on the story let me join journalist david greene obama joins me from young gone in a me and ma now did very strong comments from richardson that one of the indicated how did unsung suchi react to them. yeah you know i spoke earlier today with aung san suu kyi spokesman he said they are very side about the resignation of bill richardson but he said that they were just and did not understand the advice the ma

and with us in the studio claire richardson who's been following this story for us ken as we just heard in that report at the heart of this memo is the allegation essentially that the f.b.i. used improper evidence to gain a warrant to spy on one of trump's aides and what exactly does this then mean for relations between the f.b.i. and the white house well this is a very rare public split to see between the president of the united states and the country's top federal law enforcement agency and to understand it you need to see the memo in the context of mahler's probe into russian meddling in the twenty six you know actions so let's take a step back and think about what the memo says it alleges that the f.b.i. abused its power supply to spy on a close aide of donald trump during the twenty sixteen election campaign and for trump this shows him that his long held suspicion that the f.b.i. is out to get him that they have an inherent bias against him has some foundations the democrats of course see it quite differently they say that actually this memo was had cherry picked information that

and the latest from washington we're joined now by clare richardson and in studio we have analysts and journalists. and then turn first of all to you claire and president trump has said earlier that the u.s. was prepared to continue strikes until the syrian regime stopped using chemical weapons but let's just have a listen to wast defense secretary james mattis said when asked about whether there'd be more strikes. that will depend on mr a sawed do use more chemical weapons in the future but right now this is a one time shot and i believe that it showed a very strong message to dissuade to deter him from doing this again. is there a lack of consensus here what exactly is the strategy fair well the short term strategy is to send a message to assad that the international community will not stand by as a government passes its own people however it's not clear what the longer term plan is for the united states these missile strikes are unlikely to change the fear of the fighting on the ground in a significant way the united states is not looking for real change here and of course this is a

phil: washington, dc now where we are joined by the correspondent lee richardson. -- claire richardson. some big themes. claire: trump's message here was his administration is behind gun owners and any initiatives they would see as infringing on their second amendment constitutional rights to own guns. he called these people real patriots. it is a massive convention of 80,000, and the reason this was closely watched is because in many ways it was seen as a test of how much has really changed. there has been a big national conversation since the massacre at a high school in parkland, florida in february. student led movements of walkouts, protests with celebrity support, and there was a sense this could be a turning point where we might see some tougher regulations on guns in the united states. we heard during trump's speech that he is back in front of the nra, his fourth year addressing the convention, and he has not changed after what we saw in parkland. he said he wanted to harm -- arm highly trained teachers area when i was in parkland,'s teachers would rather have school supplies t

don't the democrats need to be careful right now, mr richardson? because the way that they are pushing the notion that donald trump stands not just accused, but in many democratic eyes, guilty of collusion with the russians over the last presidential election, isn't that essentially hamstringing the us administration's ability to really direct a coherent russia policy right now? well, what is important here, stephen, is, one, this mueller investigation needs to keep its course. let him come up with whatever the facts are. number two, i think it's important that we, as democrats, not just attack the president. let's find the facts, but at the same time, let's come up with a message that eluded us in the last election. and i think elections in the united states are moving oui’ way. in pennsylvania, we won an election in a district that president trump won by 20% — we won that. so the public is turning towards a democrat slowly, but we have to just be positive about our vision. we need an economic message. people want to make more money, they want

joining me now is our correspondent claire richardson in quebec city clare we just heard that aagot americal said she thought there might not be a joint communiqué other indications that she could be wrong. hi it's still a little bit too early to decide exactly whether or not we're going to see a joint statement come out from the leaders here at the g. seven they're going to have to first talk about some of the thorniest issues that have been dogging this whole meeting things like climate change and trade policy now we know that usually g seven meetings are not meant to be surprises often the leaders go into these with a very clear idea of what kind of message they're going to want to put out at the end something that reflects their common values but with the united states increasingly isolated because a president trying to views on things like trade and financial we haven't seen any sort of unity on those topics and it's not clear that they've come any closer to finding common ground now as you mentioned trump is going to be leaving the summit early today for his historic meeting with the

s claire richardson reports from the border. these are some of the faces that have invoked degrading president donald trump the reason he's threatened to mexico and called for thousands of troops to be sent to protect the border and stop short on their journeys they've set up a makeshift camp into want to mexico. but as you know we're sending many many national guardsman down to the border most of them are already there and that's having a big impact most are from can join us they say the united states must hear their asylum case that they left their homes because they had reasons to fear for their safety but imagine if they killed my father. or i mean that's less than what they because of death threats that's what forced me to lave one of the men pulled out a gun pointed at me and told me if i didn't give him what he wanted he was going to kill me soon all of that battle came up with maybe i'm not that. they travel together for over a month my first boss and training. they sought safety in numbers and what can be an arduous and

or reward as it used to washington a corresponding clear richardson is on the story for years tonight good evening to you clear the world looking at this story and asking why has the democratic national committee decided to do that now we already know the special prosecutor mr mole or he's still investigating allegations of collusion. this a lawsuit is the biggest escalation we've seen from the democratic party in trying to get to the bottom of a legit russian election meddling in the twenty six and elections and possible nation with the trump campaign so they're trying to remind voters of this issue now ahead of november's midterm elections which are coming up in just over six months the democrats are looking to take back control of congress from the republicans then and they're using this as a way to remind voters of the whole issue of russian meddling now as you say this lawsuit is happening as an aside it to robert miller's investigation into whether there was collusion between the trunk campaign and russia the democrats are hoping that this is separate lawsuit will give them an o

should have been done for many many years are going to go now to washington our correspondent claire richardson is on the story for us tonight good evening to you claire so we know president trump is already and i so iran steel tariffs on many countries including china so why are we seeing the u.s. now seems willing out beijing for further penalties well it's a fairly wide held a view among business leaders here in the u.s. that something needs to be done about unfair trading practices by china and how it's flooding the market with steel and aluminum but the reason we're seeing these tariffs come into place now is because the u.s. just wrapped up an investigation that says that it says shows the chinese state used hackers to steal business secrets and gave american companies unfair positions in the chinese market so what's so controversial about these tariffs is that they're sweeping and they could provoke retaliatory measures from china and ultimately result in a trade war between the world's two largest economies i mean that is the big worry tonight a sigh of relief maybe for the european uni

and joining me now is our correspondent claire richardson in quebec city following the g. seven summit so claire we did in fact see a signed statement after this you seven summit despite the tensions on the ground where have these leaders found common ground. i think they found common ground in wanting to save face and project a united message that this was not just a summit that drove a wedge more deeply between the u.s. and its partners now we heard we just heard there at them saying that they had come to that he had raised the issue of tariffs with donald trump referring of course it to the steel and aluminum tariffs that went into effect at the end of last month and this has been something that has been a real sore point throughout the summit the fact that u.s. allies see it as unfair trading practices canada went as far as to call these tariffs illegal and they have of course said that they are going to impose retaliatory it tariffs in order to try and maintain some semblance of fair trading practices so in some ways we're really seeing them kick the can down the road

our washington correspondent claire richardson says the drums trade policies are likely to go down well with many americans at least until other countries start hitting back. the tariffs on aluminum and steel for example are very popular among labor unions and in the rust belt states where steel workers are hoping that they'll see this measure protect their jobs and in many ways and this is trump's effort to make good on his campaign promise that he's going to get tough on china that he's going to save american jobs but it could be devastating for u.s. consumers and some economists think that it's actually going to cost jobs for people who are employed in the steel and aluminum industries and as for the tariffs on china we've already seen threats of retaliatory measures that are meant to hit us industries like agriculture and punish states that trans going to need to win re-election so we'll see just how popular they are once china makes its next move that was our correspondent there richardson speaking to be earlier from washington where you leaders digested donald trump's latest trade

governor richardson was at the white house through much of that turmoil. so what do you think of these comparisons being made today to bill clinton? >> i was there during the impeachment. i was his energy secretary. president clinton left office with a 60% approval rating, which was huge. on the stormy daniels issue, it's not good for the country. voters will vote on their own economic situation, on healthcare, on, you know, immigration, on national security, on north korea. you know, these scandals, they have some legs, but they don't have a finite decision-making process in the voter's mind. >> what you're saying, too, for clinton, his highest approval ratings were during impeachment. we saw on another network yesterday, they had a group of president trump supporters that does this matter to you? it's not that the issues can't matter to you in a personal sense. but would you voted on these issues is how i think the question was being asked. the answer was yeah, this doesn't matter within that realm. so you're giving another example of what voters will be

for more we're joined by did obvious claire richardson who is following the g. seven summit for us from quebec city so clearly looks like we will actually see a sign a joint statement at the end of this what kind of common ground have the g seven found. the common ground seems to be a desire to show a face of some kind of stability even though it's quite clear that there is still deep divisions between at the countries taking part in the g seven countries in the g. seven summit and the united states and the very fact that we are still talking about whether or not we would even see a mutually signed statement at the end of this meeting is quite unusual often leaders know exactly what sort of talking points they're going to come out of this meeting with before they even go into it it's meant to express common values and things that are relatively innocuous topics most of the time but of course this year is different because we've had u.s. president donald trump here and back differing from his canadian hosts and the other leaders taking part and making it difficul

all right let's take this story now to our correspondent claire richardson is she is in the u.s. capital which is not far from annapolis trying to get the latest on this so clear it's been confirmed that five people have been shot dead what more do we know. hi brant that's right annapolis is about an hour's drive east of here we know five people have been killed officials are also saying that several others have been a gravely injured now we're already getting some reactions to this situation we've seen u.s. president donald trump tweet out his thoughts and prayers are with the victims of the families and he thanked the first responders for their work that of course has listed a strong backlash from the proponents of gun control in the united states who say that thoughts and prayers are not enough to stop this kind of incident. the definition of a mass shooting and how you count to here in the united states is quite tricky but by some counts you've seen more than one hundred fifty in the united states in this year alone so this is just the latest development to add to that number

further tariffs against china you see the podium there at the white house so let's go over to claire richardson who's standing by for us with the latest from washington and clare we just heard that you know this announcement today is targeted against china but at the same time we've had news that the european union is getting an exemption tell us a little bit more about that. all right well to clarify the u.s. trade representative said today that the e.u. along with several other countries will be initially exempt from these tariffs that means temporary relief when the tariffs take place tomorrow and of course we're still waiting to hear the president confirm that himself and it's important to note that this is just a pause on the tariffs as negotiations take place that will still be a big relief for the e.u. as it's been scrambling to try and get this exemption in place before the tariffs take effect. and they'll be happy to hear that it sounds like they will at least have some reprieve while talks are underway and claire as stephen was mentioning a short while ago you know when we talk about

is not just a international advice bill richardson is notjust a very international advice bill richardson is not just a very seasoned extremely experienced diplomat, but also a very old friend of aung san suu kyi, who used to go see her when she was under house arrest. for him to come out and notjust resign from this commission, this advisory board, but also to give such damning language about are basically saying she refused to listen to advice and he feels that the board is little more than a cheerleader for government policy and he does not feel it is serious about implementing the commission or addressing the deep—rooted problems in rhakine state on issues such as citizenship for rohingya ‘s. he has gone out and said this is worthless. it just gone out and said this is worthless. itjust adds to the enormous damage that has been done to the reputation of aung san suu kyi over the past six months. jonathan head for us there in myanmar. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: flood alerts in paris, and across france, as water levels keep rising. the shuttle challenger exploded soon
