Agreement. thats something that prime minister netanyahu has also said the u.s. needs to focus on. that essentially would be the delivery system for any nuclear weapon, and because its not covered under the current agreement, israeli leaders, european leaders, and even u.s. officials have talked about that needs to be something that the trump administration focuses its efforts to try to prevent this program from developing any further in tehran. eric, arthel? eric: yeah, conner, french president...

The "los angeles times" and "the washington post." i want to start with this afternoon. we have been waiting for months and the world is asking who is he? is he the candidate who will keep the promises or is he the more conventional republican candidate in how he acts? we will sit down with the prime minister and there is nobody on the planet who more wants the united states to rip it up. he said he is dissatisfy and is it just bluster that is leaving pressure on iran or is he prepared to walk a...

Undertaken with a warhead atop a missile. it just sounds to me very implausible. far too risky even for north korea. >> stand by if you can, jonathan. we have andrea mitchell. nbc news chief foreign affairs correspondent. thank you for being here with us. youre very aware of the news at the moment. a failed missile test coming out of north korea. what are you hearing? >> well, this is all the reporting that we are getting from pacific command, that it was a failed test. a missile, short or mediu...

Medicare and medicaid program alone, we had an opioid congress, zeke epidemic, we had many unforeseen circumstances and we have to remember medicaid is a highly efficient program that has gotten very, very wide customer satisfaction among, the highest in the country, in more than half the births in the country and half of the retirement nursing home care for seniors is paid by medicaid, so very difficult to imagine how you can cap a program like that and not medic. >> jon: but medicaid may be ve...

Federal spending, but there are consequences to that. it certainly means fewer people covered under the program. >> jon: if the states are getting block grants to cover their own people, doesnt that essentially do the same thing and perhaps, the idea being, its a more efficient route? >> the first thing to understand about this per capita allotment system, it is not exactly like a block grant. it was actually first proposed by president bill clinton in 1995 as an alternative to the block grant p...

Rate in the launch of their intermediate missiles. but we dont know how much of that you can attribute to cyber and electronic warfare efforts because the north koreans are not the worlds greatest manufacturers. welding errors, bad parts, just sheer incompetence can also contribute to that. in the early days of the u.s. missile program, we were not so hot at it, either, and even to this day on occasion, we lose. >> jon: the north koreans, you mentioned cyber warfare as one potential chink in the...

To control their missiles. all missiles have some degree of electronic and computer control. so the focus has been on that. obviously, since we were working on the story with great sensitivity, we agreed with the u.s. government that we were not included in the story the techniques the u.s. was using, and we did that because we knew from statements the north koreans have made that they were onto the fact that the u.s. was messing with them, but it is not clear they knew exactly how. >> jon: you ...

U.s. and israel had ever conducted. the attacks on north korea are different in nature but essentially the same concept, slow a nuclear program without trying to strike it with other missiles that might trigger a war. >> jon: but the u.s. is sending that high altitude missile defense system to south korea and japan, that is hitting a bullet with a bullet type of technique, will it work? >> that system has been pretty successful against short and medium-range missiles. it is a deep and protection...

Pops, the folks around the the corner grocery stores, the corner cleaners. those individuals out there are having huge challenges gaining care and gaining coverage. medicaid is a program that by and large has a decrease the ability for folks to gain access to care and we want to make certain we address that. this is about the patients. it is not about money, it is not about something else, this is about the patients. sadly, the costs are going out for those folks in the individual and small grou...

And its being implemented. by all sides. that will preclude iran from ever, ever achieving nuclear weapons capability. >> reporter: in exchange, iran received tens of billions in sanctions relief. sometimes in massive infusions of cash. critics charge the deal should have forced iran to dismantle its nuclear program, not preserve it, that some military sites have been closed off to u.n. inspectors and that the deal is actually strengthened the leading state sponsor of terrorism. >> kerry did not...
