andy, thank you. thanks for joining me. i m paula reed in for fredericka witfield. we begin this hour with the u.s. announcing new actions in response to russia s, quote, barbaric and inhumane war in ukraine. vice president kamala harris and the secretary of state meeting with world leaders at the munich security conference today, formally declaring russia has committed crimes against humanity. nick, what are you hearing on the ground? reporter: there is support here in europe sharing that view that russia is committing these crimes against humanity. i think it was encouraging for the audience here in europe to hear that accountability will be held. there is a sense in europe that they need to build a system and a mechanism here in europe and there s talk about doing it in the hague in the netherlands, a traditional place where leaders can be held to account. they have been historically in the past. i think the vice president s words resonating. this is exactly how sh
A Rose Beggarden event tomorrow are told. Then later in the week the president will be going to ohio. And it is notable they are putting him on the road for this. Because he is someone that does well pitching things to crowds and feeds off that energy. Sometimes makes him go off script, but if he can deliver a solid pitch and a good message, i think it is a necessary piece of momentum for this administration thats been largely bogged down in controversy. Now a little bit about what we have heard with his Infrastructure Plan is it involves a trillion dollars in public and in private investigation. And it is something that capitol hill should be able to get behind. But it is something we have heard about a lot from him. And it is important in the aftermath of the foreign trip. A lot of people said what worked is the administration gave people Something Else to talk about that was not russia or controversy. And this is a way that a lot of republican strategists said to me, you need to giv
So many ways to look at this. Because you asked about sean, thats one way. Another way is also what this says, maybe much more importantly, about the president of the United States, and how he has learned from the First Six Months about the way he wants to craft his white house with people who are loyal to him. People who know him, who are new yorkers. And are much more fluent in the language of trump than in the ways of washington. Were going to talk much more about that. Jen palmieri, white house comes director for President Obama and of course, you will know her from the Hillary Clinton campaign where she also served chief of communications there. Jen, thanks for joining us. Give us your reaction to this. All right. Can jen . Can you hear me . All right. Were going to try to work out the connection with jen palmieri, well bring her in soon as we have her. Going to scaramucci, and im sure sean believes that hes not the right guy for the job. And hed been we were seeing him sidelined
Thank you. Tonight, your money, your taxes. President trumps new plan. What it means for you. After several efforts to repeal obamacare fail, the president now turns to a major tax overhaul. Proposed cuts for middle class families, also major cuts for corporations and wealthy americans. Also tonight, the crisis in puerto rico. A full week after the hurricane hit, more than a Million People without power or drinking water. The mayor of san juan tonight saying people are starting to die. The deadly showdown. The police video just released. The suspect jumping from his pickup, firing at police. Officers responding. Tonight, abc news obtaining some of the russian ads bought on facebook. You will see them for yourself. Posing as an american group, the ads say, we need trump. The massive explosion,
30,000 forced to evacuate. Authorities now asking, was this an accident or not . And the First Airline to offer free Text Messaging while youre flying. Are phone calls next . Good evening. And its
This morning there were signs it could be happening again. The Wall Street Jurm reported that Big Tech Companies are using their power to silence certain political views. Both google and Web Hosting Service go daddy stopped providing Hosting Support for Daily Storm Area White Supremacist website. The Hotel Website airbnb announced it will perm nernt in any eventually ban White Supremacists from booking booking rooms. Pay pal wont let them use the payment platform. No one is weeping for the daily stormer, mentioning their name probably got us written up as dangerous alt right sub investigatives. Theres a principle at stake and is worth defending. We should be concerned by the prospect of big Companies Using their power to enforce ideological conformity when it seems to affect people we dont like as it does now. Especially now we should be concerned. Support for Free Expression seems to be fading on the left
point. Its proof of how robust that right is. Tech companies arent the governmen
