Looks like russia is in fact complicit in the chemical attacks launched against syrians this. kind of protection is questionable and unacceptable and deserves condemnation from our president. >> does russia ultimately hold the cards when it comes to the war in syria? >> not necessarily so, but i think they have a lot of leverage. i mean, you know, syria has for some time been a client state of the russian government and this relationship is one in which we cannot avoid with a direct confrontatio...

Korea? >> well, i think the provocation that were seeing coming from north korea is not unusual. we saw the same actions under the obama administration. we saw the same actions under the bush administration before him, and even president clinton. it is unfortunate that north korea has a very irresponsible leader who is was impulsive and a threat to the korean peninsula, but having said that i think that removing any negotiating strategy off of the table should not be our ultimatum. i think we sh...

North koreans launched whilehe e region failed because u.s. used electronic or cyber technology to sabotage it? >> i cant comment on the electronic or technical capabilities of our military. we certainly recognize that was a failed missile test and failed almost immediately just like another recent test. >> but the u.s. didnt have anything to do with it? >> well, i cant comment either way, as you know, dana. what i can say, failed or not, it was one more provocation by a regime that continues to...

Alaska. important to mention that they stayed within international airspace and for the second day in a row the u.s. sent up aircraft and the russians turned and flew back towards russia exactly as everybody expected. is it routine or is it a provocation? the question is now what is putin really up to with this aircraft? is he just sort of pinging at president trump saying, look, i can fly near your coastline or is there some other motivation there? nobody thinks that this is about a russian att...

Crime. >> we do not believe based on the information we have today that this is a terrorist-related crime. this is solely based on race. and it has nothing to do with terrorism. >> shannon: the suspect facing charges of murder and assault. well have a live update from fresno at the top of the hour. >> bill: tensions between north korea and the u.s. showing no signs of cooling off today. already today new provocation from pyongyang as the vice president mike pence in that region sends a clear mes...

Defenses do. they can map out how our intercepts occur. this is the russians trying to show their teeth. i think the thing that americans need to keep in mind is, look, russia is an adversary. we need to be very concerned about them and pushing them back in areas. the russian military is totally incapable compared to the united states military. this is not like it was back in the cold war where you have equally matched forces. >> what youre suggesting, congressman, and you served in the u.s. air...

Perhaps the president decided he didnt want to issue that statement, but that was sure to follow. but in any event, i dont think weve seen a commitment to democratic principles in recent years. i think weve seen a slide toward a more autocratic, authoritarian government, and that certainly calls into question the place of turkey as it tries, if its ever going to try to join the eu. that remains doubtful. so, there are political consequences to this, but i think the president obviously made a dec...

Nichols who has more. >> defense secretary james mattis starting a week-long tour of the middle east with a brief stop in africa. here in saudi arabia, meetings with officials on the agenda. the war in yemen a few hundred miles south of here. official position from the trump administration, they want to accelerate u.n. brokered talks. they see a peace brokered agreement through the u.n. also on the agenda, the fight against isis. on the plane we spoke with the secretary of defense and he said th...

Russians who turned around and escorted them out of the area. the russians definitely pinging, if you will, at a u.s. response. not clear yet. it was a full-on provocation but they had not done it up in that region for some time. wolf? >> reminiscent of the battle days of the cold war. thank you very much for that. vice president pence meanwhile says north korea is getting the message that united states wont stand for its reckless nuclear activity. it is a message pence personally delivered duri...

Do you believe that risky or provocative behavior by the russians right now could potential will you or even directly lead to some kind of confrontation with the u.s. military? >> thankfully, this incident ended peacefully with our air force going out there and escorting them out of -- out of that. what this incident does, wolf, it reminds at least me and i think a lot of people who are listening to the rhetoric during the company, about how it wont be a bad thing to be friends with russia. rush...
