canal and that park. . thank you very much. >> unlike the other mission bay south residential projects, this project has an inclusionary housing component. it depends on whether or not it's rental or for sale. if it's for sale condos that project would fee out at 20%. if it's a rental we have a requirement for 15% of the units to be affordable and 16% of the area median income. we're probably not going to know whether or not the project is going to be for sale or rental or mixture of both. it could be both -- one is rental, one is condo. we're not going to know that until we get closer to building permits. assuming the whole project is rental. and we worked with the developer to identify those based on the opa requirements that basically being units should be comparable in location and bedroom size as market rate. if you look at the breakdown on bedroom allocation for the project overall, compared to the inclusionary units, you have the same ratio as much as you can round it to between the two. also, and i'm going to slip through these quickly just to give you sense -- we've worked with them to ensure they're scattered throughout the different floors. they're equally allocated compared to the market rate. for the low rise building, the red one, they're on every floor, so the taller one they had them up to the 11th floor. the reason we didn't go up higher is the opa allows these if they're rental, to convert to condos. and typically with hoa fees the higher you go, the more expensive it is. we want to make sure they're not being penalized for being affordable, but if someone's been there ten years they're able to go to the condos. you can come by if you have questions. if you watch the little orange dot it see them flashing around it's an easy way to see them moving around as we go up the building. kind of skip around and make sure they have nice views as well. now we're getting to thealer side. tim doesn't have it, they actually asked them to move up a little higher so we have slightly higher views and then hit the 11th floor and the rest of the floors above are market rate. as we've done in some of the previous designs under the opa we're allowed to amend the major save as part of the subsequent approval actions. in this case it's part of height zone two. in mission bay we allocate base height, tower, tower height by height zone so there's kind of a bucket that's assigned to each height zone and then through the major phase process we assign them. in this case there was an excess of height zone two where block one was as that came out of the last major phase, they wanted some moi nor increases to the mid rise and tower. 373 feet of mid rise and 704 feet from tower. you can't tell from design point, but we want to make sure we're tracking everything. that includes the minor amendment, just rounding out the few hundred square feet of those and there's plenty of allocation in the plan to allow that. this did go in front of our mission bay advisory committee on may 8. they voted to approve the design, but asked the developer to come back and continue discussion on the r 1 and jessie's going to act as my van that white to show as changes go. for the meeting we had on may 21 focused on the shorter building as well as the interface with the parks. so some of the issues we raised were kind of asking for additional color, breaking up the massing of that smaller building, ensuring that the green wall from the poed jum dium down into the open space was designed in a way that would work and making sure the park's front edge was integrated between the two. we'll start with the corner, designers came back, switched the material alty. ity. the low rise was all the same material. that corner tower was changed to a different material and color to have it pop out and break it out. the bars -- the concept is always going to be a row of brick housing, kind of the old brown stones to really have those pop out, the windows from segments in between, they used to have hoshsonnal metal panels. those came out and went to a clear glass thing so now you have this kind of much stronger vertical break between all of them. also for the green wall, it's a really great concept, i don't know if you see the little pocket things, you get the fun plans. they're great. we don't -- they've not been tried at mission bay and it's a very difficult environment so you'll see a condition of approval in there that they have to incorporate into the design the ability to retro fit the wall with binds, which we do know work. we didn't want them have them not try something fun and exciting, but wanted to make sure it was cheap to retro fit if it doesn't survive. after we finish today our next step is to go back and revisit the park plan, see if there's any tweaking that needs to be done toreflect this design and make sure they continue to work well together. after that meeting majority [inaudible] expressed they thought their improvements with the design and thought they were a success. just to continue to explore additional ways to break down the massing, incorporate some of the ideas community had, different colors for the doorway, different ways you can kind of individualize these different brown stone frontages in minor ways that carry the individuality throughout. and then finally as jessie mentioned they've been doing great on meeting the agency's sbe program. complying with our non discrimination contracts, minimum compensation, healthcare and accountability policies. today 60% of their budget has gone to sbe. almost all of that 52% are san francisco based sbes. again, the grandma jorty of the sbes we have are not just san francisco based, but also women own minority owned companies so they've done a terrific job. as we go forward they'll continue to work with [inaudible] at shaving our contracting goal for construction, the 50% abe sub contracting goal, prevailing wages and 50% local contract construction local hire goal. next steps is we move into design development. if you've approved the designs today and construction drawings, then we can start construction in spring of next year with completion two years later in spring of 2017. this concludes staff presentation. i wanted to thank george bridges, christine, and [inaudible] for working on this project and we're all available to answer any questions. thank you. >> thank you very much. can we have public comment on this item? >> ms. woods. >> good afternoon. my name's ms. woods, vice chair of the -- >> other one, that one. >> vice chair of the mission bay citizen's advisory committee. we had a very good, active discussion on this project at our regular cac meeting and as a result of a lot of questions, the architect and developers had a smeshl meeting two weeks later where they responded very effectively to our concerns. i don't know if you guys have been down to mission bay lately but it's really boring, a lot of it. we asked them to jazz up the colors a little bit to give us some variety. we asked them to modulate the design so it didn't look as chunky and they have responded, i think well on that. there were a lot of concerns about the actual ground plane at the pedestrian level of -- especially along channel street, and they have responded to that. i think the discussions are ongoing. the staff recommendations are totally appropriate and we ask your support. thank you. >> thank you. are there any other speaker cards. >> no other cards. >> any other public comment? i'd like to turn to commissioners for comments or questions. commissioner ellington. >> i have a question about the middle courtyard, quad area. specifically about the -- like, the access points. and i guess where from -- where can you ent the quad, is it open to the public. i saw a pool there and i want to know if the pool is heated. [laughter] >> jessie, commissioner. good question. maybe we can switch the -- >> slide 11. >> slide, yeah. if possible, just to give the public a visual. so the main entry ingress and egress point for what we call the residential podium is outlined in that red dotted line there. the entrance -- or the entrance into the podium is [inaudible] controlled for residents so the podium itself is geared ed toward the residents, however, it's part of our interaction with the community and staff, there was a real desire to connect the main entrance to open up that entrance and make a connection to the park that's both visual and physical. so what we did was obviously created the vertical green element, which ties in very nicely to the park itself and i want to give a special shout out to cmg who wasn't able to participate in the presentation, but they've done a great job thinking through how these elements integrate. and we're providing some of our private property to extend the park into what would have been the private realm of the project, which is that portion of the image you see here, that's that bench seating, the bleacher seating, technically on our property, but we felt like it was important to sort of embrace the park, embrace the public nature of this and so that'll be just great seating to get a little elevation as they're enjoying the park and see the channel and so forth. but the podium is key controlled for residents. >> on slide 11 there's a dashed red line going down the middle. is that -- >> slide 11. >> it's the hotel scope. >> yeah. >> that one? >> no. there's -- >> oh, right here. that dashed red line there? >> yeah. >> that represents the dividing line between the phasings of the project. as mentioned in the beginning, we designed this project to be two independently developable projects, r 1 and 2, so that's the property line as it were. >> got you. >> eagle vision. >> that's not a wall or gate or -- >> no. it simply signifies where the actual property line [inaudible]. >> perfect, thank you so much. is the pool heated? >> it will be toasty warm. >> the pool's not open to the public. it's part of the amenities for the building, i think. i have a question. i know one of the comments in the mission bay, cac folks was about vehicle access and so i know that we talked about the parking already, but i thought there were some carve outs along third street and are they reflected in the construction documents? i couldn't tell if those with supposed to be waiting area. for the street scape. >> you're asking about the carve outs for the -- along third street. >> along third street, yeah. >> i mean, katherine's here to answer that, but here's the scheme of the ground level. >> okay. so you got a good -- actually, it asked them to take those out. a request they had was to allow for drop off and pick up there. it's an mta since the [inaudible] mta issue so it's not approved and we'll go ahead and clean that up. it's a discussion we need to have with mta on city policy and whether or not it makes sense for them to have that on tra street. >> i apologize because i am constantly working on that. [inaudible]. i'm still working that out. i do know that was a request so i'll go hound them. [laughter] okay. commissioner ellington. >> we talked about having the option of the units being for sale or rental. in the case of the units being rental, are they being managed by a specific cdc or how does that transaction work? >> i'll ask sally to come up because i can't answer this correctly. there'll be inclusionary units managed by the property owners themselves. once they're completed we've entered into agreement with the mayor's office of housing, community development, and so they will actually manage and oversee it to ensure they meet the requirements and have the ongoing -- that they're meeting all the affordabilities for the term and all the requirements for the marketing. >> got you. okay. >> i think -- it's a beautiful design and everything looks so nice and color coordination and i just have one question. about the junior bedroom. the junior bedrooms -- junior bedroom, you have 25 and -- >> genuine bedrooms, otherwise known as studios. >> we call them -- >> what is the size of that? >> they range in size, on average about 550. i mean, it is a good opportunity to say one thing, which i wasn't able to say at the beginning, but this project generally has larger units across all of the unit sizes than pretty much any project in mission bay. we decided to go a little bit larger in part in order to address the market, but also to try to bring more families to mission bay. the junior 1s themselves are very generous. they're not just an open room with a sleeping area. they're actually physically divided off sleeping rooms. the only reason they're called junior 1s is because they don't sit on a window line, but are as big as a typical one bedroom. >> i was looking a few months ago they built i think two or three [inaudible] . . >> we have none of those. i think our smallest unit is 550, which is a generous studio. >> i move this item, as everything looks very good. >> excellent. i do have -- is there a second? >> second. >> before we move on to the vote, i do have one final question. so i think ms. woods made a comment about mission bay being a little boring. as a resident myself, i live down there, i think part of the reason for that is because a lot of the retail space hasn't been activated on the grund floor. have you guys already made >> we're really excited about both sides of the retail, in particular we think those are real opportunity. the corner that faces the ballpark to do a really wonderful west raunt. ful restaurant. we think there's opportunity because of the park like setting and the ballpark that's allowing us to have tables and chairs spill out over the park. [inaudible] and we're already talking to restaurant tours about that and we think there's an opportunity to help do that with us. the other side of the project where we've concentrated the retail at fourth and channel relates more to the fourth street retail concept that you guys have already made significant progress on and really activating fourth street so we're the end of that retail experience. we think it's the opportunity to subdivide that up into smaller spaces and do kind of much more local serving uses with a lot of focus on food, but also services for the neighborhood. we don't have tenants in it yet that we can announce, but there's been tremendous amount of interest in both sides of the project. >> okay. thank you very much. okay. one more, yes. commissioner mondejar. >> question, on exhibit h -- i don't know what the slide is on that, but in my binder, i just have a question. it says this is the building on the side -- yeah, this one. and this greenery on the top floor on this side. yeah, this one on the other side. is that, like, actually, like, a garden or just a terrace or -- i missed that in your presentation. >> this is a green roof, which provides nice visual from the windows. it also prevents reflection from sun into the windows and provides insul lation. it's a very solution for roofs and it also deals with a roof as a facade because it is actually a facade when there are windows looking down. it is not an occupied roof simply because of fire code and city requirements. we're required [inaudible] stairs because of the number of square feet. it's a life safety code as it is currently existing and that's limiting with what we can do as use, but in terms of the visual aspect of roof [inaudible] and i think it is -- it will make that view nicer for all those units. >> when you say green it's greenery or -- >> grass. >> grass, okay. >> planted, ground cover, a certain depth and usually plants that don't require maintenance that are native plants that grow naturally in this weather and this environment. >> thank you, great. >> can i make a comment. i want commend the entire team. i think as commissioner singh said it's a beautiful design. i commend you and it sounds like you have a fantastic local team and i applaud you. >> thank you very much. there's been a motion and second. so secretary please call the role. >> ellington. >> yes. >> mondejar. >> yes. >> singh. >> yes. >> rosales. >> yes. >> johnson. >> i. >> the vote is five ist. >> i'd like to thank the mission bay cac. we appreciate all their efforts to getting us here. thank you very much. next item. >> next order of business is 5e, overview of ocii small business enterprise, sbe and work force programs. report on sbe and local hiring goals in comparison with city and san francisco programs, discussion. >> commissioners, this is simply an informational report for discussion. this is really a look back on how we're doing on the programs, both our local contracting and work force programs and this report stems from a request from you to present any aggregate. you certainly see it on a project by project basis but what does this mean in totality. as part of that thought and comparison and standard, how is the city doing? how are they doing? how do our programs compare? this is meant to be a comprehensive presentation on those items and certainly is the start of other presentations on this. so with that, i'd like to ask ray lee who's the contract compliance supervisor to present this item. >> good afternoon madam chair and commissioners. i'm ray lee, contract compliance supervisor. what i'd like to achieve today if i can is to provide an overview of the ocii equal opportunity programs, specifically in the areas of contracting and local hiring work force programs. as mentioned, i'd like to provide you an analysis of agency performances, some comparisons to city programs, but i caution you about the comparisons. you shouldn't directly compare it because it's not quite apple to apple. and answer any questions you may have about our programs, in particular begin dialogue for any future information that may be needed. >> i'd like to start with an overview of the ocii equal opportunity programs. presented on the slides here is really just a side-by-side comparison of ocii's equal opportunity programs and what exists within the city. as you can see it mirrors in effect city ordinances. as an agency that's separate from the city, efforts have been undertaken by the redevelopment agency to effect important ordinances passed by the city at a policy level. so beginning with the small business enterprise policy, it doesn't mirror the city of san francisco, but the intent is there in terms of encouraging and promoting small and local businesses. along with that, is the non discrimination and equal benefits policy. that o that of course is enacted in accordance to the city's 12b and c ordinances. the healthcare accountability policy, it mirrors the city's healthcare ordinance, along with the minimum compensation. what is different that i'd like to highlight are some areas in the work force aspect, as well as prevailing wage. the work force requirements, of course, has long existed with the redevelopment agency and ocii. it effectively requires implementation of work force hiring on private projects that does not exist with the city. and then also with the prevailing wage policy what was unique in this sentence is that we require our contractors and developers to pay prevailing wages where state law does not require it to do so, but that's a foresight of the prior redevelopment agency. i did want to mention that on june 10, 2014, the board of supervisors did adopt expansion of the local hiring ordinance to effectively also apply local hiring and prevailing wages on effectively ly private projects on public land and i believe that's pending the mayor's approval or enactment. more specifically about the small business program with ocii, since 2004, ocii has adopted a policy that effectively carries forward the minority and women business program that existed with the agency for many years. it's an evolution of their program. the objective of course has always been to ensure that small disadvantaged businesses have opportunity to participate on agency assisted projects. unique with the agency here is that it calls for a program on private projects in redevelopment areas. we of course accomplished this by entering into agreements with developers to implement the small business policy. we established aggressive overall goals of 50% and require developers and contractors to exercise effectively good faith efforts to meet those goals. what does good faith mean? it calls for developer to work with ocii staff in areas that small business can participate, even those areas that a contractor may perform with its own labor force. we look at areas that can be performed by the small business themselves and we ask that the contractors and developers exercise aggressive outreach efforts of the small businesses to ensure that there is a contracting opportunity and to ensure that the community does know that there is a contracting opportunity for competitive bidding. i do want to say that under that competitive bidding, many of the contractors and developers do look at small business participation as one of the deciding factors in awarding their contracts and they work closely with the ocii staff to really make that effort to achieve that 50% goal. along with the good faith outreach is requiring developers and contractors, again, to ensure that the opportunities known. what that means is not only advertising direct contact with the businesses, but also conducting prebids and presubmittal meetings at least 30 days in advance. the intent here is to ensure that a small business knows that there is a contracting opportunity, there's sufficient time for him or her to respond to that. so again, we make every effort to work the developers within those timeframes. a little bit more about the

we face a rising threat from authoritarian regimes who seek to reach beyond their own borders to commit acts of repression, including inside the united states. this is an especially appalling example of the government of iran, perpetrating a grievous acts of transnational violence in violation of u. s. laws and our national sovereignty. while the iranian foreign ministry says the charges a baseless and politically motivated and accuses the you are making allegations without providing evidence. my county has moved from washington. well, the justice department has outlined an elaborate and lengthy murder for hire plot, which began some 18 months ago. when sharon puts up, the allegedly contacted somebody within the united states and persuaded him to act as essentially a murder for hire promising some $300000.00. should he kill john bolton now unknown to put sophie was the fact that this individual was an f. b i, informant. so he. busy informed the authorities, the authorities were abreast of the plot as it developed. now this another twist in it as well. it's been revealed to by the justice department that profess the also offered a $1000000.00 for a 2nd target. now sources close to mike on page 4, my direct b, c. i a and a former foreign secretary is saying that it was my palm pale. who was the 2nd target for which $1000000.00 was promise. so there's a lot of details that the justice department has provided. one must make clear though that sophie is still at large. he's still being hunted down though these charges have been laid against and former us president donald trump has refused to answer questions under oath. in new york, you appeared at the attorney general's office as part of a long running investigation looking into his real estate business dealings. gabriel alexander has moved from new york after nearly 6 hours of questioning. trump is now leaving the attorney general's office here in new york city. we might never know exactly what was inside, but if you're inclined to believe the former president, it could have been a very frustrating experience for investigators. and that's because earlier on wednesday, trump posted a message to social media saying that he planned to plead the 5th and would not answer any questions that could potentially implicate him. now this case by the new york attorney general, the tisha james, has been going on since 2019 she is investigating the trump organization. business practices did potentially could have been fraudulent. she claims that he might have exaggerated the assets that he owns, the value of his golf courses in hotels, for example, in order to get a more favourable loan from different banks that would be fraudulent. trump denies any wrong doing and says this is simply a which on now where this case goes from here is anybody's guess it's a civil not criminal case. so lateesha james and trump's lawyers could reach some sort of a settlement, but that potentially could be hundreds of millions of dollars. trump would have to pay for the attorney general could decide to take this to a trial. it's important to point out that this case here is totally separate and has nothing to do with the f b i rate on trump's home in florida. earlier this week. to see the prices in the u . s. dropped by half a percentage point from june to july, but inflation is still harming many families ability to feed themselves. rosalyn jordan has a story and how one organization and baltimore is talking. the problem. every family is going to get a bag this like this every day, this baltimore food pantry fills hundreds of bags with fresh groceries, left over from supermarket. that otherwise might have been dumped in the trash restaurant delivery drivers than volunteer their time to take the bags to grateful residence x ray lee. i'm sorry, and i've started you thin as the refer and as plan really helpful to have access to the 1st for these on a daily, for health purposes. this is all for that were rescued here. the pantries executive director says in the best of times, it's a challenge to meet the demand. rising prices have made it much harder. inflation is a tough pillar. i. when you think about inflation, what people don't see is the broader aspect of how it, it hurts these families. so right now, you know, a lot of families are having to juggle and do i pay moran to do i look for food, right. do i eat healthy? do i a jump? right. that puts wednesdays latest economic news in context. the consumer price index dropped from 9 point one percent in june to 8.5 percent in july. assign the federal reserves efforts to cut spending by raising interest rates may be working what was cheaper in july filling up with gas plane tickets, clothing and used cars. but grocery prices rose 1.3 percent between june and july, and the increase was more than 13 percent in the past year. for families on limited incomes, the price rises are often unsustainable. a point the u. s. president acknowledged on wednesday with a global challenges we face from the war in europe to disruption of supply chains and pandemic shut down. so in asia, we could face additional headwinds in the months of head. our work is far from over . 2 things should be clear. first, economic plan is working, the 2nd is building an economy that will reward work while investors on wall street drove stock prices up in approval. the potential for more shocks to the global economy and to you as consumers remains what else we have going on? kristin naraine says it's all the more reason why he's trying to boost his pantries output to a 1000 bags a day for his neighbors. and he says he needs the communities help is very hard for people to go look for food. so if you can donate or volunteer to, to nonprofits that are facing, that are on talking fullness. carideo try and help. you know, that's what i would suggest. you know, because we are kind of going after a silent killer in america right now. and that's homer trying to help the most vulnerable, survive a volatile period in the u. s. economy. rosalyn, jordan l j 0 t cry. now where there fears over the fates, if europe's biggest nuclear power plant ukrainians, a warning that the russians are preparing to connect the zappa asia facility with crime merit crimea, which was alex back in 2014. the plant

says, he believes the russian military occupying the plant is shelling it to disconnect it from the ukrainian power grid and reconnect it to a power system in russian controlled crimea. taking all the

asking for the plant to be declared a demilitarized zone monitored by the international atomic energy agency, out of control of the russian army. the foreign ministers of the g 7 group of industrialized nations agree they say it's russia is presence of that plant that is endangering it. and they've issued a statement demanding that russia leave and turn over control to ukrainian

she says, the lack of information is making it difficult to assess the dangers posed by activity at this apparition, nuclear plant. one of the things that we must keep in mind is that really the information that we have that's coming out of this parisha nuclear power plant. it's very difficult to corroborate. there are no independent observers, no 3rd party observed as a journalist, that that could ester tain some of these claims. we have heard from the through court in who is the president of ukraine, nuclear operator and that whole item of the legit plan that they personnel of does a put

last year's will remains. natasha g . a name reports from gauze on the challenges people their face. the phones rang in this gaza neighbourhood saturday morning, with warnings from israeli intelligence to evacuate. in what people say felt like only moments, 6 apartment buildings were destroyed or damaged. i don't get an awfully fair. my 4 year old son wakes up when he has any sound thinking. it's an asteroid, and he clings to me. it makes me frustrated because my children are scared, my life has become miserable and it is nothing left in our hands, the man malick shem. alec says she can't even dig out a shirt from the rubble for her 2 young son. the family is homeless, but we'll have to find money to pay the mortgage on the apartment and find a new place to live. since 2008, there have been 5 wars or attacks in the gaza strip. the longest was in 2014 and lasted 51 days. after the war, dozens of countries met and planned to raise $5000000000.00 to rebuild garza but not even half that money was actually donated. the biggest donors cut our gave more than a $1000000000.00 in aid, saudi arabia, half a $1000000000.00. the united states, the united arab emirates, and kuwait each gave $200000000.00. these photo showed the before and after of some reconstruction projects. after last years, israeli airstrikes, cutter and egypt committed a $1000000000.00 total. to help garza rebuild again, but with no time frame gases, ministry of public works and housing says it needs millions of dollars. now, to provide housing for 2200 families, will you feel the as little as putting some obstacles and the way of the donors that the 130 construction process to be slow over the years. even once reliable arab allies have stopped offering funding. and with many humanitarian crises, globally, donor fatigue has set in israel, ester occupying power, to have a real responsibility to, to, to, to, to take care of the situation there. but in the long term, long, you know, full for china. and also for the huge majority of the international community, what concerns oz is not week, not simply look at the specific situation in the piece piecemeal to way some in the international community may continue to spend billions of dollars rebuilding gaza after each war or attack. but palestinians wonder when the world will see that it's more prudent to invest in peace. natasha name al jazeera, gaza as get more on this topic, we can speak to audi him, says he's a former un official and a professor of international law at queens university. he joins us from ottawa. now i live, thank you for joining the program. at sir. israel has been known to bomb anti a buildings destroying civilian infrastructure because of just one individual that they are targeting weight as international law stand on that kind of collective punishment. why do you describe it that would be legal under international law, the number of fronts? first of all, as a matter of international criminal law. any armed power who's engaged in the use of force has the obligation to distinguish between civilians and combatants. and even when they do distinguish sales have an obligation to deploy proportional force and also use appropriate precautions in attack. so to the extent that israel's attacks against civilians and gather attacks against civilian infrastructure and gather in general, conduct of armed hostilities and gather doesn't meet these principles. they are bound under international law to make appropriate recompense. from a criminal law standpoint, they have an obligation to prosecute or indeed extradite members of their own military who have either performed these acts or indeed ordered these acts to be undertaken. that mad, very little prospect that happening. but from the civil law side, they have obligations to make appropriate recompense for the damage caused by, by their agents, their military in, in the field. that's a matter of state responsibility in the normal course, you would have a state try to reestablish the circumstances that you just did prior or but for the illegal acts that have been undertaken. in this case where you can recreate somebody's life because they're dead civilians, for instance, we must make appropriate amends to civil compensation. ok. so under the laws of occupation under the international law of occupation, is it israel's responsibility when it comes to rebuilding efforts? do they have to pay for all the rebuilding? and is that what happens? do they put the bill? it's a very good question. so as a matter of public internationalize and relates to occupation, the occupying power has an obligation, a sole obligation to facilitate what we call relief schemes. under article $59.00 at the fort geneva convention. this is basically the reconstruction effort. israel has that obligation in practice and as a matter of law, israel, me seek assistance to do this, to the international community. and in practice, the international community through the united nation has helped facilitate this as well. the un largest presence on the ground and gather is unwrapped. there is something called the gas reconstruction mechanism, which was negotiated, which are the auspices in good offices of the united nation some years ago. so the us has a role to play with international donors as well, assisting, but make no mistake about it under the same body of law. article 60 of the fortunate convention even where you have 3rd parties, including members of the international community participating in the humanitarian relief, effort, and reconstruction effort. it is israel that had the obligations do so, and none of those actions on the car, the international community, absolve the occupying power. israel, i would say the legal responsibilities could do so before she went out of time, but really good to talk to you already in says form a un official and professor of

refused to answer questions under oath and new york, he appeared at the attorney general's office as part of a long running investigation into his real estate business dealings. the case involves claims the trump organization misled banks and taxes doris's gabrielle alexander. has more from new york. after nearly 6 hours of questioning, trump is now leaving the attorney general's office here in new york city. we might never know exactly what was said, i'm sorry. but if you're inclined to believe the former president, it could have been a very frustrating experience for investigators. and that's because earlier on wednesday, trump posted a message to social media saying that he planned to plead the 5th and would not answer any questions that could potentially implicate him. now this case by the new york attorney general, the tisha james, has been going on since 2019 she is investigating the trump organization business practices. it potentially could have been fraudulent. she claims that he might have exaggerated the assets that he owns, the value of his golf course is in hotels, for example, in order to get a more favourable loan from different banks that would be fraudulent. trump denies any wrong doing and says this is simply a which on now where this case goes from here is anybody's guess. it's a civil not criminal case. so lateesha james and trump's lawyers could reach some sort of a settlement, but that potentially could be hundreds of millions of dollars. trump would have to pay, or the attorney general could decide to take this to a trial. it's important to point out that this case here is totally separate and has nothing to do with the f b i rate on trumps home in florida. earlier this week, taiwan has held another live fire exercise day off to china ended its largest if a military drill was around the island. it was the thinking to exercise this week by the time and the army in the southern region, if ping tune taiwan has accused

started you thin as of reefer and it's been really helpful to have access to the 1st for the on a daily, for health purposes. this is all for that were rescued here. the pantries executive director says in the best of times, it's a challenge to meet the demand. rising prices have made it much harder. inflation is a tough pillar. i. when you think about inflation, what people don't see is the broad aspect of how it, it hurts these families. so right now, you know, a lot of families are having to juggle and do i pay my rent to? do i look for food, right? do i eat healthy? do i a jump? right. that puts wednesdays latest economic news in context. the consumer price index dropped from 9 point one percent in june to 8.5 percent in july. assign the federal reserves efforts to cut

palestinians were still trying to recover after last year's conflict. when israel launched its 3 day bomb bomb, and now many are having to rebuild their lives. yet again, as natasha gannon reports, the phones rang in this gaza neighborhood saturday morning with warnings from israeli intelligence to evacuate in what people say felt like only moments. 6 apartment buildings were destroyed or

the years, even once reliable air of allies have stopped offering funding and with many humanitarian crises, globally, donor fatigue has set in israel, ester, occupying power. they have every i responsibility to, to, to, to, to take care of the situation there. but in the long term, long in awful, for china. and also for the huge majority of the international community, what concerns us is that we cannot simply look at the specific situation in a pissed piecemeal to way some in the international community may continue to spend billions of dollars rebuilding gaza after each war or attack. but palestinians wonder when the world will see that it's more prudent to invest in peace. natasha name al jazeera, gaza palestinian authorities have inaugurated a street named after al

ukraine has come under attack several times over the past week. ukraine's foreign ministry says a shell hitting an operational react, sir, could have the same impact as an atomic bomb. so average a has 6 react, is making europe's largest nuclear pound, capable of generating around a 5th of ukraine's electricity. and currently just 2 of those reactors are working, completed after the chernobyl disaster, the reactors are contained and robust buildings were built in fire. defense is meant to withstand a plane flying into them, but experts fear damage caused by military weapons could cause a radiation league, while a power line was also destroyed and wouldn't stace attack and ukraine's energy operate . he says, in force isn't damaging power lines to ukraine's energy system so they can re orientate electricity to crimea, annexed by moscow back in 2014. while g 7 foreign ministers have demanded that russia hands back separation to ukraine. so ensure its safety, while the u. n. has demanded nuclear inspectors are allowed access. john henry reports are from keith in petro coach and says, ukraine's apparition, nuclear plant faces serious danger of radioactive meltdown. he says he believes the russian military occupying the plant is shelling it to disconnect it from the ukrainian power grid. and reconnect it to a power system in russian controlled crimea, taking all the power with it. they have already cut 3 of the 4 connections to the ukranian grid he says. and if they sever the 4th that poses a serious nuclear risk. is aries, go full, loosen the external power was applaud. and it is dangerous because the willborn will blackout mold as a rule. bas thornton, diesel generator. so the, if they stop zone, you will have like melton of a nuclear coral reactors. he's asking for the plant to be declared a demilitarized zone monitored by the international atomic energy agency, out of control of the russian army. the foreign ministers of the g 7 group of industrialized nations agree. they say it's russia's presence of that plant that endangering it. and they've issued a statement demanding that russia leave and turn over control to ukrainian authorities. the russians in turn blame the ukrainians for putting the plant at risk by firing on the facility. britton's defense ministry predicts the invasion is about to enter a new phase with the heaviest, fighting shifting 350 kilometers to the frontline that stretches from zap arissa to her song. nearby in battle scarred mc alive. residents have emerged from a 54 hour curfew. they've come out to queue up for water and food in a region that's been the target of russian bomb since the invasion began in february. ludmilla, steve goes among the thousands of displaced people evacuating ships sion cove, a village near her son. now under russian control, the daily bombardment is taking its toll credit for years in a certain budget. of course, people are afraid, but every one is hoping that they will not reach us and things will get better. but many houses in our village destroyed and people have died. there are a 150000 people in the city in the red cross is all need some kind of help. john henderson, al jazeera keith, what? well marianna, the sharon is a senior research associate with the projects on managing the ass. hm. at the harvard kennedy schools bell for sans and she joins me now from south berwick main in the united states and marianna, very warm. welcome to the program. thanks for being with us. what was we know about the situation in the plant right now? i'm thinking about what kind of state it say and how it's being run day to day. well, julie, one of the things that we must keep in mind is that really the information that we have that's coming out of this parisha nuclear power plant. it's very difficult to corroborate. there are no independent observers, no 3rd party observe as a journalist that that could ascertain some of these claims. we have heard from the, through a court in who is the president of ukraine's nuclear operator. and that whole item of the elaborate plan that they personnel of does a produce a power plant was presented with by representatives from all thought the russian nuclear operator on this a legit switching of the powerpoint from the ukraine in power grid to the russian power grid. via crimea, and as he pointed out, it is the, it's a, it's a very dangerous, it's not a reckless undertaking because it involves taking the, the plant off the upside electricity supply through the high voltage line, connected to crane and putting it on, you know, back up diesel generators for whatever indefinite period of time. we really don't know much more about the situation other than generally over the past of for so months and the power plant found itself occupied by russians. it was actively used as part of the military operation. it's in fact was turned into some kind of nuclear fortress and nuclear shield, or the russians are known to have deployed had the armor and even artillery pieces that have been records of the shelling of ukrainian positions and ukrainian towns civilian towns across the river from didn't nuclear power plant and of course though, the cheap shots, right? ukrainians get out retaliates in return. so. so these are sort of disjointed pieces of information that we have. if indeed, the plan, the russian plan is to, to, to basically steal the power plant to a connected to its own grid than the damage to high voltage want lines. and these, you know, in simulations that ukrainians have been showing the plant. they in a way, make sense, right. they, they provide the, the pretext mariana that clinton cars for doing so in terms of the, the energy infrastructure in ukraine. what would removing the power from the grid if we agree that it's a toll possible by the legit plan? what situation would then that southern ukraine and in terms of, you know, its energy supply? well, as christian said, that would involve supper in the last remaining high voltage line that's currently operating, putting a plant in the block out mode, and switching on the 20 or so diesel generators that are backup power supply that, that are supposed to, to work for maybe well, on few days, depending on how much diesel fuel is there to run them, not only to cool the nuclear reactors themselves, but also the spent fuel pools, of which there are several onside that also contain much radioactive material that needs to be cooled. and then that would entail essentially black out of southern ukraine, much of the territory that's now captured by russia. there's a put on august for some time until the plan could be allegedly reconnected through crimea to the russian grid. i don't really know what kind of grid infrastructure is in crimea, whether that is technically possible. but one of the key questions we need to look into right now, what, what high voltage lines are there available for that for this task? but in essence, if it is feasible that that would entail a massive black out for some time, and then reconnecting the plan to the russian grid and gradually putting, bringing tricity back to those regions. you marino, when we talk about the threat of a major nuclear accident or even a, or chris treated, you know, major nuclear accident. i'm trying to use, you know, my language carefully. like how, how worried are the authorities that this could be sort of course if reality o authorities, i'm not sure but my colleagues that have been dealing with these issues for. busy decades issues of nuclear security and myself included, i extremely worried about this. it is an unprecedented state of affairs where a large nuclear facility that contains, you know, a huge the under really large number of very radioactive fuel is now trapped within a war zone. and there's really no, no control, no way of monitoring the robust safety and security systems that are supposed to be in place. there. it's under military administration. the generals and the officers, the russian occupying force that are in charge there. it is safe to say they don't know much about running a nuclear power plant safely. so the staff that have to keep that land going is, is working under under duress, under really difficult conditions. and one wonders how, how they can carry out their, their tasks. and if there is an accident that might be caused by the cutoff of electricity, the malfunctioning, of the cooling system, there might be some kind of meltdown. you know, whatever size that is. think about the relief work of the mitigate the task of mitigating those consequences. what we've learned during the, after the fukushima de accident is the value of quick response and mitigating the consequences of any any such accident. it is safe to assume that if anything happens as a bridge and no matter what scale the axis of relief, we're aid of, of any kind of technical assistance will be impaired by the fact that if it's in the middle of a war zone. so that might be an essentially a force multiplier for whatever constant adverse consequences might already ensue from nuclear accident. marianne of the share and there, and joining us. and mariana, thank you so much for joining us with your expertise. appreciate it. thank you. thank you. well, as of wednesday, european union member states can no longer in port call from russia. it's part of the 5th sanctions package on law school to cope with the hard turn away from russian energy. you countries are now setting power consumption caps that before the war, russia supplied 40 percent of europe's gas. replacing that, just before the northern wind to though is nearly impossible. in july, you energy ministers agree to voluntary plan to cover their gas consumption by 15 percent starting in august. when you said it's fully cut off from russian gas this winter and could cause member states economies as much as one and a half percent of g. d, p dominant came, explains this coal being unloaded in the german town of line bah, is from russia party to one of the last consignments to germany before the e. u. embargo took hold. until recently, much of the energy used in germany came from russian fossil fuels. but now it's coal is banned, its oil is soon to follow. and far less of its gas is being piped here than was planned. meaning across the country, much of industry is having to contemplate buying fossil fuels from elsewhere. i think there will be only a temporal return of the call from portland at to the market. so this is a not, not the long term solution is a certain solution for the next 3, maybe 4 years, which is a significant contribution to solving the gas problem or the security of supply problem. but it has not done sustainable long term perspective. the difficulties with the german government is that many of its leaders has spent much of their political lives looking to phase out fossil fuels. and yet they now find themselves having to buy them in on a short term basis. v as in v opinions, we see how dependent we are on energy imports from all over the world. and in this case, especially from russia, it's important to know that we and germany have technical abilities that are realistic and produce economically functioning, jobs, and economic value, which can help us free ourselves from this dependency and defend our own sovereignty. upping his cuts verified, but saying that and doing that are 2 different things because very many power stations and industries have based their plans on an uninterrupted delivery of coal . and more often gas, such as here, the learners, aluminium foundry ins, all tal where rising gas prices mean managers are having to change their working practices. mama's visit as so anyway, i walked so far starting up a foundry, luckys hitting up the furnace is very energy intensive. so shutting it down in the evening or overnight and then hitting it up again in the morning, is crazily expensive? that's why we now either run it around the clock in 3 ships or shut it off completely. the company that runs this power station decided to get out of a dependency on russian coal. soon after the war and ukraine began. that country took longer to follow suit, but have now done so as it must be said, has the e u. but getting out of dependence on russian gas is proving much more difficult. dominant cane al jazeera berlin in spain, there are plan black hasn't thermostat regulations, as part of voluntary consumption cuts. but local, say it's simply too hot to comply, the hardening has more it has been a sweltering summer in madrid. but as temperatures have sort, so to has the cost of fuel. so the spanish government has mandated that offices and stores cannot set their cooling system below 27 degrees celsius. in an area dependent on tourism locals are afraid, the heat wave an crack down on energy could scare visitors away. even if i guess if these filters are going to be impossible, because now we are at 18 degrees inside. if we go up to $27.00 degrees, we're going to be sweating all day. we won't need to go to the gym the for just give out a lot of heat and the customers are going to complain. nobody's going to come in them. but the spanish government has already agreed with the other european union countries to cut dependency on russian gas by 15 percent by the end of the year. they will usually that either we have to comply with the agreements we have reached in brussels, fresh combustion, alimony spain also has a commitment of solidarity with the rest of european countries. each country is free to choose the way in which will meet the commitment to cut energy use. here in spain. that includes turning off the lights. yogato may perhaps are the measures need to be found because i don't know up to what point. turning off a shop window, display light is going to make much se burnett. shops have to turn off window lights after 10 pm. however, street lighting will not be affected. i know it ain't nobody lucky. why would visitors come? because when you go out for a walk, what you want to see is joy soon. we won't have lights. so if you decide to come to here and everything is switched off a couple, you're going to ask yourself, what's the point? the measures will be reversed in winter when regulations will prohibit indoor areas not to be warmed above 27 degrees. leah harding al jazeera consumer prices in the us drop by a half percentage point from june to july,

while on a simon engineer in the occupied west bank. in may, members of the international community have condemned her killing and continue to call for accountability i blackly was without jesse or for 25 years. she was known as the voice of palestine. my correspondent. neither abraham is in ramallah in the occupied westbank. the legacy of sitting in a walkway is now being engraved in the collective memory of palestinians. this 3, the shooting up list 3 is where she used to walk to work every day. it's very close to all zero's offices. this is a stretch used to work a to walk in and work for more than 25 years. it's also very close to one manada square, at least that had to, with had witnessed historical events for palestinians. this is a testament to how much she loved were joined the here now by dr. hannah, i said, are we a senior politician? what does it mean for palestinians to have a street named after shutting off? no matter how many honest i'd bestowed on the memory of sure the number is no longer alive. she's no longer with us. and she was assassinated than deliberately killed by an israeli sniper. so she'll be in, deserves all this recognition. but the most important recognition is the fact that she is held be it in the hearts of every 5 years. i think it's very important for the place of that monument actually here because it makes way more for university student best buy here every day to see and that, you know, most of them are in the future generation. they're going to become journalists and she's a very significant example for them.

been a groundbreaking day in african football, governing body caff has officially announced a new african super league to start next year. i sure can militia reports from a russia intense and yeah, it's time to unveil the potential of african club football. to the whoop, the african sued bully and you are in african football has begun. the continent's governing body calf has announced a brand new africa, super league for 24 of africa's top teams. company, there will be a $100000000.00 in prize money with the winner pocketing $11600000.00, nearly 5 times. what's an offer in the current calf champions league? it will succeeds to significantly uplift the quality of african football, the standards of football at club level, but also at the national team level. because a lot of the money, $54000000.00 every year, will be going to the member associations. each member association will be getting a $1000000.00. it's hope that the project will boost africa's football economic fortune. calf is promising sponsorship and revenue previously and had of which given time could give african teams the ability to keep their best play as by marching the huge wages in european club football in terms of investment exposure, marketing overall as a football club. and one of the leading football clubs in the region, we're extremely excited. however, there has been some negative reaction with

and spectacularly failed. within a matter of days last year, falling a backlash from fans while governing body fever was against europe super league, but is backing africa's version, giving the chance to teams every team in the content to be able to play in this competition. i think this is a great idea, a great vision, a great project. the fact that is done within the football structure as well and not outside is obviously crucially important for a supportive t for can give as well. so it is this very exciting egypt and i the most successful club in the cash champions league history with 10 titers and will almost certainly be part of the new africa super league. the final list of teams is yet to be finalized, but what we know is that the teams will come from 16 different nations with a

hello, everyone. i'm ashleigh banfield. thanks for being with us. the flu is on a terror. people you would never expect are dying. we are watching the white house as sportsmen, video game makers and the ncra all come together to talk about guns. vice president biden is hosting another day of back to back meetings with so-called stake holders in the firearms debate. the vice president has set off a firestorm in conservative ranks by suggesting that the president might not rely, necessarily, on congress, at least not entirely, to crack down on gun violence in america. >> enter, the executive order. enter the instantaneous backlash. >> so when biden, himself a liberal democrat, says that himself and the president, cabinet, attorney general, all a bunch of leftist democrats are talking about using executive orders, when you say for what, it could only be to take guns away from people. who knew that an executive order could trump a constitutional amendment? >> nope, nope. sorry. no rush. you are very entertaining and i'm sure a lovely man but you are wrong. jeffrey toobin is here. >> i'm not sure about either of those things but, okay, go ahead. >> i will say this, what rush limbaugh is saying is something that is being echoed across this country. people are panicking, an executive order is very powerful but it cannot supercede the constitution. >> nor can it supercede a law that congress has passed, for example. there was an assault weapons ban from 1994 to 2004. president obama on his own by executive order cannot impose an assault weapons ban. congress has to do that. only congress can pass a law. all an executive order can do is use power that congress has already given to the president in a different law. >> even the most ardent and fervorous of the nra supporters will say, for crying out loud, enforce the existing laws out there. isn't an executive order an excellent tool to do just that? >> that's what presidents do with executive orders? >> one executive order that is apparently under consideration is the federal government does do some background checks on some weapons purchases. they might want to streamline that process and make it more useful, get it into the hands of law enforcement faster. that's something that a president could do on his own authority. >> virtually thousands upon thousands of people that have lied on their background checks and that is against the law and they are not prosecuted. >> that is something else that the president could direct the attorney general, start pros cuesing those people or following up with them and find out what they are doing with their weapons. >> what about the notion that mental health is another big part of these conversations that joe biden will be having? there needs to be something elsdon about attention to mental health in this country. is that something where the president could bring in executive order and make a difference? >> yes. he could tell the department of health and human services to shift money into mental health in one way or another. the department of education could do something like that. he can't impose a new requirement. he can't say that people have to be registered, which is an idea that's been floating out there. that would have to be done by a law. within the existing authority, within the existing budgets, the president could do something. >> a lot of people have talked about the possibility that perhaps this executive order of discussion has something to do with the now expired assault weapons ban that was in place between 1994 and 2004, as you mentioned to me earlier off camera. can an executive order somehow reinitiate that ban, bring it back, somehow use a loophole, anything or nothing? >> i think nothing. i can't imagine every possibility but this was a law, passed by congress and expired. >> and only congress can pass a law. that almost certainly is going to be a big part of this legislative fight that will go on in congress but i don't see any way that the president could do this on his own. >> i think it is critical to make that point. there are a lot of nerves that are frayed just on the utterance of we've got executive order and we are not afraid to use it. >> that's one reason why it is good to be president. >> president bush used it 298 times in eight years if anyone thinks that president obama has used it more. nope, only 144 times in just four years. jeffrey toobin, thank you. it is good of you to clear that up. take a look at this. you see the numbers. those are all of the president's orders. the executive orders by face, name, and number. so you can make your decisions as you will when people say ruling by fiat means. it doesn't mean the government is coming to take your a.k. out of your hands. i want to give you a post script, walmart declined the invitation to meet with vice president biden's panel. then, abrupt switching of gears. christine romans breaking that on the air yesterday. they accepted the invitation and now the nation's largest firearms retailer says its representative is going to meet with attorney general, eric holder but not vice president biden himself. there you go. another piece of news that is making very big headlines. silent killer sweeping across the country now. after a mild season last year, the flu is back this time with a vengeance. the centers for disease control reporting that 18 children have died so far this year. among them, a young man from texas named max. take a look at his picture. literally, the vision of health. this strapping young teenager. his mom said he went from being a healthy young man to a very sick child and then to dying in just a matter of days. >> he said, mom, i'm scared. i said, i know, buddy, i am too. then, he saw me crying. he said, mom, it's going to be okay. you're going to be okay. i love you. that's really the last really coherent thing that he said to me. >> we're going to have more on max' story a little bit later on. texas is one of the 41 states being affected. more than 2000 hospitalizations already across the country. our chief medical correspondent, sanjay gupta, has been monitoring this very closely. i feel like we just began the week saying, it is an earlier season and it seems like a bad season and you can still get your flu shot. i feel like in just a few days, things are getting far more serious. >> they are. the thing is, it takes a couple of weeks after someone is exposed to start having symptoms. normally, you do have the worst part of flu season sort of in february, for example, but we are seeing it early as you point out, ashleigh. my guess is the number states are going to turn red over the next few days or weeks. the question a lot of people need to know or figure out, the numbers have gone up. are they going to stay up throughout the whole flu season or until spring or is this an early peak? this particular strain, h3-n2. we have seen this before. it was a pretty severe virus back then. it is behaving very similarly this time as well. >> can i ask you? when i saw that picture of max. i am hoping i am pronouncing his last name appropriately, schwolert. this was a healthy, vibrant teenager, the last person you think is going to be among the annual statistics of several,000 people that died of the flu. why would someone like max sub co couple to this virus. >> it is very sad. luckily, his story is going to be more the exception than the rule. it goes to show you, when people talk about flu deaths in any given year, there could be tens of thousands of flu deaths. most are going to be people who have underlying illnesses or weakened immune systems and the very elderly. it is sometimes because the person gets to the point where they have had this flu, weakened their immune system and on top of it, this he get a bacterial infection in the lungs. it is that bacterial infection that most often causes death, specially in the younger population. it is tough to think about. listening to his parents, it does make you think. for the vast majority of people, the answer is still going to be stay home rk, self-isolate, tak care of yourself, don't spread it to others. >> whether you have young children or children of max's age and our parents, the elderly. sanjay gupta, thank you. appreciate that update. >> elizabeth cohen is going to join us a little bit later on from our medical unit. she is going to have more about max schwolert's heartbreaking story, his case and this story in general. back after this. for only 1-cent after maxperks rewards. find thousands of big deals now... ...at officemax. [ male announcer ] when diarrhea hits, kaopectate stops it fast. powerful liquid relief speeds to the source. fast! [ male announcer ] stop the uh-oh fast with kaopectate. so we broke the news yesterday that president obama had plans to nominate his chief of staff, jack lew, for treasury secretary. now, the official announcement will be made at 1:30 p.m. eastern today. if confirmed, lew would succeed timothy geithner, the last member of the original economic team that took office four years ago. that was, of course, you'll remember, at the height of the world economic crisis. dan lothian joins us live at the the white house. boy, did you ever have the news yesterday. you were the first on the air with it. what's the reaction been, though. you know it doesn't take long before the knives comes out. >> reporter: it doesn't. the white house still believing he is the strongest candidate to succeed timothy guieithner. talking about his extensive experience at citigroup and serving in the public sector as the budget chief and with former president bill clinton during a time when they balanced the federal budget. so when you put that together with being around in this administration during a difficult fiscal time and the fiscal challenges with the debt ceiling, he is the right person for this job. there is some resistance. republican senator, jeff sessions, saying he should never get the job because he misrepresented the president's 2012 budget during testimony before the senate by saying the budget should not add to the debt. you always find, when the president puts forward a name like this, there is some push back. we are seeing that even before the president officially makes the announcement. nonetheless, jack lew, widely expected to get confirmed. >> i am sure we are only beginning to hear the bonafides and the criticism. it's his signature. if he becomes the treasury secretary, that thing is go to be everywhere. it is that series of crazy loop deloos. aren't they talking about this being an issue? >> i thought mine was bad but that's a lot of little loops there. it is unclear whether they will have to send him to school again to figure out how to write his name so you can read it when it shows up on the currency. timothy geithner had kind of a loopy signature in the past and then said that he had to tweak it whethn it showed up on the currency. unclear yet whether or not they will send him back to school to learn how to sign his name. >> i like how our colleague, carol costello referred to it, like a slinky gone out of control. >> reporter: that's a good one. >> i want to switch gears a little bit. that's about another nomination that's going to have to be made because we have had another resignation, hilda solis, the labor secretary, announcing she is wanting some more familiar will i time i can only guess. give me the low-down on that. >> reporter: this comes at a time when there has been some criticism against this white house for not having enough women enter high positions in terms of the president rolling out his new team. there has been that criticism. i think when you look at who the president has around him, you look at valerie jarrett, homeland security secretary napolitano. he does have women in top positions but there is that criticism and it gets new life when someone like this steps aside. she said in a letter to her employees, she had been at home in california over the holidays, had a chance to reflect and talk with family members. after much discussion with family and close friends, i have decided to begin a new future and return to the people and places i love and that have inspired and shaped my life. the president praised her for her work saying her efforts have helped train workers for the jobs of the future, protect workers health and safety and put millions of americans back to work. unclear who the president plans to nominate for that position. >> you have work cut out for you. dan lothian, thank you. appreciate it. since we're on the subject of nominations, do you like that segue? this little one is the youngest person ever to be nominated for best actress, 9-year-old quvenzhane wallis is star of the film, "beasts of the southern wild." the director of that film, they are both on the phone with me. first question, it is extremely important. quvenzhane, did i pronounce your name properly? >> yes. >> i thisnk a lot of people are going to be saying your name a lot, quvenzhane. they are going to be reading it and saying that is cool. you must have thought this was the coolest thing ever. were you surprised? >> yes. >> how about you, ben? >> she is very underspoken about this. ben, congratulations! . this is great news for you. >> yeah. we are going absolutely crazy. we are totally shocked. it is a beautiful, beautiful thing. >> so, listen, you are in the industry and privy to a lot more of the conversations and the whisper rumors an all of those other award season events than a lot of other people. did you think this was going to be a reality or were you truly just shocked? >> i had sort of prepared myself that we were going to be celebrating the end of our publicity campaign today. now, we are celebrating a whole new era. we were shaking. we were so surprised. >> so quvenzhane, you are nine years old and from louisiana and you are officially the youngest for this award? do you know what a big deal that is? >> do i ever. >> that's awesome. tell me about doing this movie. you were only five years old when you auditioned and just six when you filmed it? >> yes. >> so tell me how tough this was. was it hard work? >> yes. >> explain to me what the best parts and the worst parts were like. >> best parts were the seafood. worst parts were the mud and the mosquitos and all the hard stuff. >> all the hard stuff. at six years old, gosh, that's three years ago. that's a third of your life. do you remember a whole lot about all the work you did to make that movie? quvenzhane, could you hear that question? do you remember a lot about making the movie? tell me about your memories of making this movie. >> if i would watch the seafood part, i would remember that we were on the set and he said, cut and everybody heard him but we were still eating. we never stopped. >> ben, this must have been an extraordinary experience to work with such a young and as many people say, extraordinarily talented young lady. >> absolutely. i mean, you know, when we sort of started telling people with he were going to make the film that was going to ride on the shoulders of a 6-year-old girl, you get this sort of gloomy, blank stare like you told someone you are about to jump off a glif without a parachute. we didn't know we would find this miraculous actress. . she put the whole film on her back and carried it. >> well, ben zit lynn and quvenzhane wallis, congratulations. a lot more people are going to know your name and your work. good luck to you during oscar season. thanks for calling in to both of you. congrats! >> thanks. >> thanks, quvenzhane. we're back after this. fort ben.

because his company helped to free other whales stuck in a same situation, the story that inspired the film "big miracle." you are on stand by to help to make your travel plans to get up to this very remote area. first, tell me. are you still in that mode where you are going to get there to try to lend assistance or is this news this morning better news that you may not be needed? >> i've talked to both the mayor and the emergency coordinator and they that the whales have been freed or at least no longer trapped. so we are in a standdown mode. we are still ready to go, if needed. >> what's so amazing, ray, is literally what some of those villagers have been doing to try to keep that small hole in the ice. i think it is only about 30 by 30. i think that is chipping away, possibly even using chainsaws, not unlike what you experienced back in 1988 way up on the north slope of alaska where those three gray whales were trapped. but you had something else. when no one could get anything to work, you took a little device up there. show it to me if you can and tell me how that thing worked. >> it is a deicer. i don't know how well you can see it. this is the size of the unit. it would be sitting underneath a float in this application but it's an electric motor encased in a stainless steel can. it is an oil-fueled unit, sealed. then, there is a propelor on top. it pulls the water from the depth. the water in the depth is warmer. it pulls that up and it can keep water open in an iced area or you can actually start with a smaller hole in warmer water will actually melt the ice. it can be very thick ice that it will melt. >> so, ray, we are looking at pictures as you show that device, we are also at the same time looking at pictures of those whales in '88 and the opening that looked extremely similar to the one we are experiencing currently in northern quebec. with that device, you were able to continuously make a large, almost like a landing strip, of open water to get those whales to swim to where icebreakers could finally reach them. if anyone is looking at the pictures and wondering why they see blood is because the whales, fighting for air, would knock up against the sharp ice and get cut, which could be a possibility. tell me why they can't get to where this current pack of whales is struggling in northern quebec. >> we don't have direct information on that. what i heard from the mayor and emergency coordinator, is that the canadian icebreakers were some distance away. really, that's all the information i have on that. >> it is great that you were able to join us and show us do i have it right, the hook-end deicer? is that right? >> no. that was the name fabricated by the movie. it is a casco deicer. >> good luck. keep your eye on this for us. if, in fact, you are going to mobilize into action and head up to northern quebec to help out, we would like to follow your progress and let's just all hope the best for those whales up there. thank you, ray! >> we are ready to go. just waiting for the call. >> god speed and we'll talk to you soon hopefully or maybe hopefully we won't talk to you and that things are already okay. we'll be back right after this break. e're helping joplin, missouri, come back from a devastating tornado. man: and now we're helping the east coast recover from hurricane sandy. we're a leading global insurance company, based right here in america. we've repaid every dollar america lent us. everything, plus a profit of more than $22 billion. for the american people. thank you, america. helping people recover and rebuild -- that's what we do. now let's bring on tomorrow. starts with arthritis pain and a choice. take tylenol or take aleve, the #1 recommended pain reliever by orthopedic doctors. just two aleve can keep pain away all day. back to the news. ya. alright, another one just like that. right in the old bucket. good toss! see that's much better! that was good. you had your shoulder pointed, you kept your eyes on your target. let's do it again -- watch me. just like that one...

>> in this case, it was the grandson. his grandfather had won several and he wanted to dispose of one of them. bill murray, i was very upset there was no mention of bill murray. >> it is delightful. >> he is amazing. am i out of it. did i expect he was going to be nominated? >> a lot of jaw-dropping a-listers. there was no. there were a lot more stars like quvenzhane. she is the best star. >> i asked, was this a big deal for you. was it ever? >> i asked her, do you have your acceptance speech ready for the oscars. she said, i'm still working on it. >> did she really say that, nine years old. she is going to be a big hit. apart from the snubs, no real surprise that "lincoln" scored as many nominations as it did. >> we expected 12. the record was 14. >> we expected 14. >> and we got 12. here is where we blew it this year. we have 28 of the top experts in america from yahoo! and "usa today" and entertainment weekly, all crystal balling this. we thought it was a race for best picture between lincoln, argo and silver linings playbook but argo and silver linings did not get nominated for best director. you almost always have to have that key nomination. you have to also be nominated for screen play and best editing. only three movies pulled that off today, life of pi, silver linings playbook and lincoln. another big story people talk about. ben affleck. i think at love of people expected he would be nominated for argo as best director but not. >> that was really surprising. i thought he was going to win this year, because they love actors turned directors. it is all about "lincoln." >> and the director of les mis. >> and quinton tarantino was snubbed also. the veterans were snobbed. >> i am curious about the art films that no one has ever heard about that become a huge hit because of their nominations. that doesn't necessarily translate into a big oscars night in television for viewers. it seems to me that the academy working very hard to try to get viewership. seth macfarlane, are you kidding me?

>> investigators saying they are going to continue to move forward with the search. yesterday we heard from governor governors both of new york and vermont, saying they promise to work behind every rock and every tv and perhaps nobody is watching as closely as the people of dannemora. they tell us there's a bit more tension in the air here as many of them had assumed that both sweat and matt had moved on potentially left town left the state, even left the country. now with this brand-new discovery, some of the people some of the neighbors we have spoken to here jake are now concerned. there are system people not even get to work because of the roadblock. also school canceled today. there's still question as to whether or not classes will resume tomorrow. perhaps nobody want this to end as much as law enforcement, jake from our vantage point here at the gates of the facility we have see law enforcement come and go in the large transport advance that have been used to shuttle officers back and forth. you can see it on their face they hopeful that this will end very soon and these two guys will be back behind bars but at the same time you can notice they are fully aware there's so much work left to do. >> less 'bring in mike earp he's author of "u.s. marshals" inside america's most storied law enforcement agency. yes, in case your wondering, his an crestor was the legendary wyatt earp. so you've -- how fresh does a scent have to be for dogs to pick it up. >> that's the first thing to determine, how active they hit on it and how far the trail will lead them. that will tell them how current the scent is. that's exactly what they're surrounding, but at the same time they've got to put their perimeter around that entire area because that could have been -- okay we know it was last night, hounk have they been gone and how far did they make? they're all over it, but they have to be vigilant about the rest of the area. >> if a dog picks up a scent, does that mean it could be more than a day or two old? it's been raining up there. >> exactly that. it depends on weather conditions and what type of dog. i've had some dog handlers that say, you know this is what my dog is good for, you know 24 hours, and he'll hit on it. others say theirs can go longer so i'm not sure. it would be up to the dog handler. >> do you thinks these fugitives, based on your experience would probably be attempting to move mainly at night? if so does law enforcement continue to search during the night? >> absolutely. the teams out there, the vare injures s.w.a.t. teams, search teams are continuing through the night. they also have aviation support, whether they flir devices to pick up heat signals, things like that. more than likely they are moving at night. being summertime we have more night than nighttime, so laying low during the day generally and moving at night. we've heard there's about 500 state and troopers working on the scene working the grid. is that enough? >> that would be determined by the command post there by the state police. >> based on your experience. for the geographical area they are doing, and you've got to remember they're doing -- out there 24 hours and in shifts. they have dogs on shifts. 500 is a lot for the area that they are looking at. but at the same time they're sending leads out all over the country. i know from source marshal's task forces are running all kinds of leads that have developed and come into the command post. there's a lot more 1r06d than just what is there?

>> from what i understand they're manned vehicles. >> and they just have a special infrared detector that picks up heat? >> yes. >> how can you make sure they're people not animals. this is a wooded area of new york there might be bears, deer. >> that's exactly right. any body heat will resonate. they note the difference generally between them but they'll have to search those. you're exactly right. they can tell usually a figure if it's moving. they have looked at that so long, they are experts on that. >> how do you do this without tipping off the convicts who for all we node are in a cabin watching cnn? >> we've had that a lot. they said we knew where you were that kind of stuff. it does happen. in this day and age, when they went through an elaborate part of their escape they knew how much law enforcement was going to exert on them to chase them. after they lost their means of transportation and are on foot they know you know -- well they can hear it if they're in the area they know how much is going on each day and night. you might be right. one of the things that law enforcement worries about is they break in somewhere, make a home invasion maybe have taken the subjects hostage, or broken into a camp and turned on the tv and watched what's going on. a chilling thought. retired u.s. marshal mike earp really appreciate it. the public has been told to be on the lookout, but what do you look for?

now, some of the companies that supported the foundation for years, many of them before she was ever secretary of state. she was a senator when i left office though -- >> right. >> they do this they do philanthropy too. no one had ever asked me for anything or any of that. >> let me ask you about that. i think a lot of people might say, okay you say there's no evidence that anything was done for them but can you really say that these companies, these wealthy individuals, these governments, none of them sought anything? i mean some of them did have business before the state department. >> i don't know. you never know what people's motives are, but i'm pretty sure that everybody gait to haiti and their aftermath saw on television and were horrified. >> you're not saying you don't know if anybody sought any favor, just that there was no -- >> no and i don't think hillary would know either. you know she was pretty busy those years. i don't -- i never saw her study a list of my contributors or -- and i had no idea who was doing business before the state department but i will say this. she believed that part of the job as secretary of state was to advance america's economic interests around the world. if she hadn't been doing this economic diplomacy work nobody would have been doing it. and -- but i never thought about whether there was any overlap. i'll just give you an example. america has always having to lobby for american-made airplanes, because we believe other competition overseas is more heavily subsidized by government. boeing is less subsidized than airbus and we believe it's hard to get a fair deal. i did it when i was president. i thought it was good good for american jobs good no america's economy, good for the national security of the countries involved. so i wouldn't be a bit surprised if some of that wasn't going on when boeing announced they wanted to invest money in haiti to help them recover from their adversity. but i don't think that they did it to make america the government like them better. >> someone recently described the clinton foundation's purpose as using the powerful to help the powerless. who do you see as the powerless in america today? >> well i would say this. we try to get people who have money to give it to people who don't and give it in a way that's empowering so that it actually changes their lives. but i think people who are working as hard as they can, who don't have enough money to support their kids and immediate basic human needs are powerless. i think people who would die -- give anything to go to work and can't get employment or are stuck in part-time jobs i think people who live in pockets of america, which have been totally untouched by the recovery rural, coal country, the eastern part of the country, the native-american reservations that don't have casinos, they don't have enough population density, many places in the mississippi delta, and in other parts of the country, i think there are a lot of people who feel pretty powerless, that no matter what they do, they can't change the future that every tomorrow will be just like yesterday. that's how i define powerlessness, not poverty alone, not adversity alone, but the inability to alter your condition. you can see our entire interview with former president bill clinton on my new show "state of the union" that airs sunday 9:00 a.m. and noon eastern right here on cnn. there's a lot more where that calm from. coming up, serious topics, saucy language 'the 70s when television took a sharp turn. a preview inside tonight's major cnn event. and we've learned more about the murders inside the mansion in washington, d.c. new evidence being revealed. that is ahead. meet the world's newest energy superpower. surprised?

>> hello. how was your night? maybe you work the third shift and very busy. respect. guessing the rest of you were sleeping. not donald trump. he was tweeting all night. 3:00 a.m. trump was complaining about sources, people inside his campaign leaking details about his run, don't believe them, he tweeted. at 3:00 a.m. by 5:15 he diverted his attention to cracked hillary. she was can dod, he proclaimed, used we his worst miss universe, his miss universe, noted by clip top as an angel before checking her past, which is terrible he tweeted. she's disgusting and he suggested clinton helped her get her u.s. citizenship. this is the same lat teen in universe on which donald trump bestowed the trouble of miss piggy and miss housekeeping. then he was back to complain about sources again and the dishonest media and by 10:00 railing against numbers that endorsed his opponent. that's how the man who wants the keys to the nuclear codes and the white house spent his night. politico reports trump jumped into the gutter and hays aides asked him to rep for in the thinks debate and others call for him to take the high ground. instead hi is going after an from the former miss universe, aka miss piggy, to bill clinton. >> the american people have haded from years and decades of clinton corruption and scandal and impeachment for lying. impeachment for lying. remember that? impeach. >> the house did vote impeach president clinton but the senate found him not guilty and he served his entire two terms. in response to trump's twit storm, clinton's campaign chairman said he recommends not reaching for the phone in the middle of her night and clinton call the utterranses unhinged even for trump. so now the g.o.p. standard bearer is visiting michigan as his campaign makes a play for state that hasn't voted republican since 1988. he is set to hold a rally the city of know vie -- mow vie. it's his fifth visit to the state. polls show hillary clinton now halt the advantage in michigan. real clear politics averages of the polls has hillary clinton leading donald trump 45-40%. clinton is campaigning in florida and is set to hold an event in coral springs. well take you there when it begins. first, team fox coverage. jennifer griffin following hillary clinton's campaign. first to carl cameron live in know novi where trump itself set to appear. tell us more about his evening. >> reporter: he had an early morning. the claims to sleep only four hours a day so not out of the question got for him what was still a good night's sleep even though he was up hours before dodge here's 3:00 this afternoon. said, quote, anytime you see a story about me or my calm pan, saying, quote, sources said, capitalized, do not believe it there are no sources. just made up lies. two hours after that he went back to the debate. his aides have banning him not. to saying it's time to move on but he said, crooked hillary was duped and used by my worst miss u. hillary floetheing her as an angel without checking her past, which is terrible, he said. then 20 minutes after that he tweet begin, using ray lee should an, the former miss universe, as pair gone of virtue shows crooked hilary suffered from bad. said i was set up bay con. then she said, did cubingle hillary check out sex tape and past? becoming a u.s. citizen so she could use her in debate? it's worth noting the woman got her citizenship in the u.s. in august of this year. and then just a little while ago, about 10:00 this morning, actually, he then began to attack the newspapers that have not endorsed him. specifically today "usa today" which has never endorsed a presidential candidate in it's 30-plus year hoyt. today disentoward him. urging people not to vote for donald trump, saying he is unfight for office. which which trump tweeted the people are mart in canceling the subdescriptions to dallas papers and now the "usa today": the arizona paper -- the arizona republic. hi knows he is getting flak about this then, said, quote, in a tweet, for those few miami knocking me for feet to go at 3:00 the morning at least you know i'll be there, awake to answer the call. that is a reference to hillary clinton's campaign against probe barack obama with the ad saying that president obama wasn't prepared to take the 2:00 call. >> now we know there's video of donald trump testifying about comments he made about mexicans and others from latin america. >> reporter: that's not what the deposition was about. the deposition was about his lawsuit against a celebrity chief who quit and broke a lease to be a restaurant in trump's new hotel in washington, dc. the celebrity chef said he wasn't going to work for trump because of trump's every time immigrant rhetoric, particularly the line about they're not sending their betts, they're sending criminals, rapists, drug dealers, ate. he was deposed for the better part of an hour and a half, maybe two, and essentially he held his ground. the lawyers for the chef asked him a couple of questions about had he premeditated. thought about these remarks, had he strategized about them or not? and he basically said, no, i consulted myself. didn't really tell anybody else. thought about it in advance and said them. he was questioned more and didn't lose his temper, didn't say anything particularly hyperbolic, and argued he was pushing his immigration position as a candidate for office. he was otherwise distracted. didn't think that this was going to offend his chefs or anybody else for that matter, and he makes the case that it shouldn't be such a big deal because in running for office, he beat the other 17 -- 16 republican candidates, became the republican nominee and a lot of americans agree with him. so, for those folks who are thinking that perhaps the deposition might have something explosive and to have trump under oath say something that might be self-defeating, doesn't appear to be in there. >> finally now we know the debate was rigged. >> reporter: no, we don't. we know that donald trump said yesterday he thought the debate was rigged but blamed me moderator. after the debate the first thing he did when he got into the spin room was telling reporters hi mic was messed up. called it defective. and asked reporters if it was possible it was done deliberately as though the commission on presidential debates set him up or tried to trap him with faulty equipment. at the time it was utterly denied. everybody said, no, nothing wrong with his mic. didn't sound funny on tv. although there was sniffling that donald trump -- he appeared to have a cold which he denied. now, the commission on presidential debates has acknowledged there was in fact something wrong with the mic and it was audible in the auditorium, in the hall. so, don't know where this necessarily brings things but with trump, anything can become a controversy. it is worth noting that earlier in the campaign, trump was asked to denounce the former kkk grand wizard, david duke and refused to and took a lot of heat for that. he said he had a bad ear piece and didn't hear way. so americans were special of the bad mic statement. now it turns out he was accurate. >> carl cameron on the campaign trail, you decide in 38 days. >> hillary clinton focusing on the crucial swing state of florida, minutes from now the democratic presidential nominee will take the stage in cold springs. we'll take you there when it gets underway in rally in fort pierce, florida, on florida's east coast. clinton went after trump for saying he can't fix america alone. >> i alone -- well, we learned that that's his way. one person getting supreme power and exercising it ruthlessly. that's why hi admires dictators like vladimir putin so much. >> the battle for the sunshine is heating up. donald trump made his ninth campaign stop there on tuesday since july and clinton campaign officials say president obama will stump for clinton there next week. but the first debate poll. christian to say ton ahead by four points in florida. in august clinton had a two-point lead. jennifer griffin is live at the event in coral springs. what else does the poll tell us? >> reporter: the key dim graphic in this new -- demographic is independent voters the key to florida voting and if you want to know which way florida goings you look at things dem graphic. the pool says trumps beats clinton among independent voters 41 to 33%. trump's net approval rating is negative 22. clinton is negative eight. a lot of never trump voters and never hillary voters with talked to in florida in the last 24 hours. which is so important. florida is important because of the 29 electoral votes. trump does not have a path to victory without florida. president obama won it narrowly in the last two eexes. >> she responded today the trump's tweets. >> reporter: well, the campaign seized this alicia machado scuffle with donald trump as really the gift that keeps on giving, and in fact, clinton responded in defense of machado, calling her -- testified her on telephoned her on the way from her earlier event in florida, here in coral springs. she called her and she congratulated her for her courage in standing up to donald trump. here's what she said. machado put out a statement, quote, his re-marks do signed to humiliate, intimidate and unbalance me. cheap lies with bad intention. he has been demoralizing women, minorities and people of certain religions throughout his hateful campaign. that is from the former miss universe. clinton then tweeted in response to trump's tweets what kind of man stays up all night to smear a woman with lies and conspiracy theories. another tweet, when something gets under donald's thin skip he latches on and can't let go dangerous for a president. machado told hillary clinton she looked forward to voting for the first female president. clinton's campaign says in no way did the campaign help machado achieve niship, one -- citizenship, one of trump's tritt simples and attacks this morning. >> jennifer griffin at the rally. thank you. editor 0 the "chicago tribune" say hillary clinton and trump have, quote, serious flaws so they're going with a guy who didn't noe help -- aleppo. from the continue begun, we would rather recommend a principled candidate for president regardless of his or her prospects for victory. they suggested voters cast ballots for such diseye pointing -- disappointing candidates and reject the cliche that the citizen who chooses a principled third party candidate is squandering their vote. it's the fifth newspaper to endorse johnson which includes the detroit news which has always backed the democratic candidate for president. always. we'll look at what it would take for either campaign to inwin the sunshine state. coming up this afternoon after the tweets before. enjoy. ♪"all you need is love" plays my friends know me so well. they can tell what i'm thinking, just by looking in my eyes. but what they didn't know was that i had dry, itchy eyes. i used artificial tears from the moment i woke up... ...to the moment i went to bed. so i finally decided to show my eyes some love,... ...some eyelove. eyelove means having a chat with your eye doctor about your dry eyes because if you're using artificial tears often and still have symptoms, it could be chronic dry eye. it's all about eyelove, my friends. remember when you said men are supeyeah...ivers?

will that go past the younger cuban voter in florida? will it register with the older ones or the older ones feel he is sounding tough on castro so we -- or will the cuban vote be split, handing the state to hillary clinton. >> that's right. the four percent number is interesting. one is that it's the first post debate number that we're seeing, which is very interesting. >> likely voters as well. >> that's right. but it's four percent, and within the margin of errors and it's gone back and forth. so it's not definitive. we will be looking at florida very closely, and the other battleground states, which remain neck and neck. new hampshire, pennsylvania, virginia, north carolina, ohio, and florida. those are the -- the state is 50 elections, really. it's not one national one. you have to look at it state-by-state. >> there is movement post debate in the way of secretary clinton, three polls now, we have a poll coming out this afternoon at 6:00. our first post debate poll taken after the debate and i'm looking forward to see it. want to know what this just did. i know how people felt about the debate. but did it change anybody's mind?

>> the detroit news. >> what? >> yeah. >> couldn't think of a world leader. he doesn't know where aleppo is. >> that's where we'll begin to see, i imagine, reflected in some of the polling numbers. this kind of cluelessness of the national candidate about foreign affairs, not knowing what aleppo was, not knowing -- not being able to name a foreign leader and referring it to -- >> africa, europe. >> i guess i'm having an aleppo moment. these would be normally damaging to a presidential campaign. how the numbers. >> you only get one mulligan. >> he's had two. >> thank you. ahead one of the biggest challenges to face the next president, what to do about russia. the ap's diplomatic writer says the one thing the next president, not do is ignore vlad putin. we'll talk to that writer next. before taking his team to state for the first time... gilman: go get it, marcus. go get it. ...coach gilman used his cash rewards credit card from bank of america to earn 1% cash back everywhere, every time. at places like the batting cages. ♪ [ crowd cheers ] 2% back at grocery stores and now at wholesale clubs. and 3% back on gas. which helped him give his players something extra. the cash rewards credit card from bank of america. more cash back for the things you buy most. when a moment turns romantic, why pause to take a pill?

we know that their equipment shot a passenger jet out of the sky. they have annexed part of a sovereign nation and yet we seem to be feckless. >> it is without question that the obama administration, as did the bush administration to be fair, has struggled to find a way to get russia to do what it wants. the main thing here is that countries act in their own national interests and russia has a national interest, and it is going to, and putin is going to, do what he thinks is best to assert and protect russia's national interests, which is why you see the russia active in the former soviet state, referred to as their near abroad but also they want to project russian power which is why you see them so heavily involved in syria, where they have a naval base that gives them a presence in the eastern mediterranean and where they have a leader in bashar assad who has essentially an an ally of them. so countries whether they're russia, united states, china, are always going to act in their own national interests and i think the challenge for any american administration is to figure out how -- not necessarily you can align u.s. and russian interests but how you can convince the russians that what u.s. interests is it in fact also similar to what the russians themselves want. >> the "associated press" diplomatic writer, matthew lee. it's a great read, the article, and an easy google at the "associated press" app. thank you. >> excuse me. seasons are achanging. moments from enough hillary clinton scheduled to hold an event, coral springs florida, and it comes as released nib documents paint a picture of a tech know -- tech know phobic clinton. the "washington post" slam trump how he used money from his charity. not his money, opm, under his name in his charity, but opm. so what's trump's team saying in and wells fargo, the biggest bank, agreeing to pay millions of dollars for improperly repossessing hundreds of cars from our military members. if you weren't mad at wells fargo already, stand by for news. it's endless shrimp at red lobster. with another new flavor you never saw coming... grilled, glazed korean bbq shrimp. and try as much as you want of flavors like new parmesan peppercorn shrimp. just come in before it ends. the president of the fill finds said he would be, quote, happy to slaughter three million drug addicts and compared himself to hitler killing the jews. the president says all of his targets are criminals, unlike hitlers. his government has already killed thousands in the war on drugs. >> the rosetta probe crashed on to the comet. michigan controllers lost contact after it his icy surface. scientists say it was a success and provided them with many year of research night it's friday so pandas. researchers in central china debuting 23 of the little black and white creatures ahead of china's national day. they say almost twice as many pandas have been born this year compared to last. the animal moved off the endangered species list and is simply now warm and cuddly. we're wait hillary clinton right now. stronger together. shees set to begin an event any minute. her second stop in florida today. earlier she was in fort pierce. peter barnes is live in washington. tight contest down there. >> that's right. she leads donald trump by a point in florida, and the average of recent polls within the margin of error and to help get her numbers up generally she and her campaign have been fanning charges that trump insults women but in florida she talked about public service and tried to whip up florida voters. >> we have to make every single day count. we have to get more people registered to vote. get more people committed to turn out to vote. we have to drive home the stakes in this election. stronger families, safer communities and an economy that works for everybody, not just those at the top. >> now, trump campaigns tomorrow in pennsylvania, but no word yet on clinton's weekend schedule. >> how is the money race shaping up? >> the democrats are raking it in, thanks to a supreme court decision that they heavily criticized two years ago the court struck down watergate era big donors but the case was filed by the republican party and instead it has helped clinton in this cycle with some checks more than $300,000, double the old limit. that helped her and the democratic party and outside groups helping her raise $500 million compared to trump at 200 million. >> thank you. hillary clinton's apparently not a fan of technology. her private e-mail setup is not the most advanced. but apparently the state department was not much better. that's according to recently released fbi documents. the web site politico went through the notes from the fed's investigation into the private e-mail server that clinton used as secretary of state, that her husband used after himself -- his presidency. seven staffers had additional accounts used permanent ones because of technical issues. one state employee told the fbi he regularly used nonsecure e-mail and personal e-mail because there was no other way to quickly transmit information. clinton's top aide, i'm ha abedin, said that the secretary would sometime use a new phone for a few days and then go back to the old version. as state department officials agreed to speed up review of thousands upon thousands of e-mails found during the investigation. so we could see more before election day. this week the fbi director james comey told congress he has not seen any reason to re-open the case against secretary clinton. catherine herridge is in washington. do we know anything new about the e-mails? >> reporter: that's what the state department is trying to work out. there's no question that some e-mails will be duplicates of what is already released. the e-mails were deleted by hillary clinton's team. the lawyer, cheryl mills, and heather samuelson who got immunity, and thousands of clinton e-mails were recovered and provided to the state department? july when the criminal case was closed. the agreement under u.s. district court judge says the state department must process 3,000 pages before the election. though the state department spokesman seemed noncommittal. >> fake the court order seriously. we have been traditionally we do make public our responses to foia requesters. her her in a separate lawsuit brought by judicial watch, clinton and her team got an extension until october 13th october 13th to answer questions under oath about her personal server, and whether it was a working around to avoid the federal records act and freedom of information act lawsuits. right now we're looking at court-mandated e-mail releases in october another and the first week of november. >> we're hearing that she -- the server was actually moved around in a van. >> more you read the fbi files the weirder it gets. we know there are new details that show clinton it special y.e., brian pagliano who got a deal and took the fifth on capital hill, pulled the server together by savaging parts from hillary clinton's failed bit against barack obama0. on k state, knicknameed the core 0 door of power, he built the server inside a room once used at part of her campaign headquarters and when it was finish, he told fbi, quote, he rented a minivan and drove to chappaqua, new york to install the e-mail server in the clinton residence. at that same time an aide for bill clinton registered the domain name "clinton e-mail doom dom but nothing good starts with a minivan as you know. >> at least a crossover. have a great -- >> we'll leave it there. >> enjoy the weekend. >> yeah, by. general's investigation of the donald j. trump charitable foundation has expanded. according to multiple news reports, including the "washington post," the newspaper which broke the charity story this month, the new issue we're learning about today is this. donald trump's foundation reportedly never filed the proper paperwork the state of new york requires. it that report is true, the new york attorney general could order the charity to stop raising money immediately. the trump team has previously denied any wrongdoing, and says the new york attorney general who is a democrat, quote, has a bone to pick. unquote. the investigation comes as donald trump and secretary clinton continue to attack each other for misuse of their charities. trace gallagher has the news and is live. >> reporter: new york attorney general eric schneiderman is looking into more alleged cases of self-dealing which means illegally using charitable dollars for personal or business use. one case involved the city of palm beach florida which levied $12,000 in fine against trump's resort for putting up an 80-foot flag pole, violating height restrictions. trump cars sued the continue but settle bed agreeing to donate $100,000 to charity but the donation money came out of trump's foundation. trump is also accused of buying a painting for himself with charity money, even funneling business payments through the foundation, possibly skirting task law. the new york ag, who supports hillary clinton, says none of these is politically motivated but trump called schneiderman a hack and a lightweight trying to extort him. >> what about the claims claimse foundation wasn't properly certified. >> the state law says if you solicit more than $25,000 a year you need to register it in early years didn't matter because from 1987 to 2006 trump was the sole donor to his foundation, contributing about $5.5 million. but over the past ten years, the foundation has reportedly taken in more than $2 million of outside money. and by not registering with the state of new york, experts say the foundation can avoid being audited to find to find out howe money is being used. the trump campaign says the wind wind has it facts all wrong -- the "washington post" has its facts wrong. >> thank you. wells fargo is at it again. the big orange and red bank has agreed -- yellover and read -- agreed to pay over $24 million on charges of illegally repossessing cars from members of the united states military. the justice department accused the bank of taking more than 400 cars without court orders. the feds have fined wells fargo after employees opened fake can'ts, costing customers millions in fees. wells fargo reports it has fired more than 5,000 worker who took part in scam but not the ceo. the ceo. john stumpf has still a job. but the company is making him give back more than $40 million, which is like a big mac. extra pickles. >> hillary clinton about to hold an event in florida. we'll take you there when it begins. hang tight. you're not a cook, if you don't cook. you're not a firefighter, if you don't fight fires. or a coach, if you don't coach. and you can't be our leader, if you don't lead. our next president needs to take action on social security, or future generations could lose up to $10,000 a year. we're working hard, what about you?

david is an elections analyst at real clear politics. what say you? >> thank you for having me on. so, about a month ago i set benchmarks using past historical polling data to figure out how many the polls ten to move between a certain number of days out and election day. right now we're in late september, a little under 40 days out from election day and the polls don't move more than four points between now and election day. they can move agent more but typically they don't. so if hillary clinton gets one to two point bounce out of their debate performance, which in to the initial data suggests, then, yes -- it's not over but trump has a pretty steep hill to climb and she is definitely on odd the favorite. >> we have a few new polls. the cnn one came out the day before. we get on nbc news one yesterday, fox one this afternoon. when do you think you'll have this matrix thing calculated? >> so i used rasmussen reports today to try to estimate it and see exactly where clinton stands. she might have gotten a total of a three to five point lead out of the first debate but we'll wait over the weekend and see how the different polls shape up and how the changes the average. >> got a sense of it or no? got a gut on this? >> sorry. my ear piece fell out. >> happens all the time. do you have a gut feeling on this? >> yes. so my gut feeling is that clinton probably gained a couple points. would guess about two points. that is based partly on how well mitt did in the first deplate and how much he gained after that. if she has a four or five-point national lead at, say, the beginning of next week, i wouldn't be surprised by that. >> are you the youngest election analyst who every lived? >> i don't think that's true. i think a lot of people who do this job who are interest the math and data side are on the younger side. it's a newer thing that is pretty exciting in my opinion. >> the millenials school me daily. understand. >> i don't know about that. >> be careful. have a nice day and enjoy the weekend. >> thanks so much. you, too. >> word of some trouble at the site of the new jersey train crash, as you might imagine. we'll tell you.the problems investigators are having and could the engineer help explain what happened?

administration, and 298 days to go until the 2020 presidential election. at the very top of our broadcast here tonight, we want to pause right quick for some breaking news that came out about 17 minutes before we came on the air tonight, and it is this. iran has admitted to shooting down the ukrainian passenger jet the night of the missile attack with 176 innocent souls on board. it was believed that as soon as the aviation world got its hands on the actual evidence, the wreckage, the black boxes, iran's story wouldn't hold up. then just yesterday, that video, damning video came out appearing to show a surface-to-air missile hitting its target over tehran. they are calling it unintentional. they are calling it human error, but this is a major rubicon tonight and a moment we should note. we'll talk about it later on with one of our guests from the region. meanwhile, in things domestic, it appears tonight that we have passed something of a marker in this country, meaning we are looking at the start of an impeachment trial. today house speaker nancy pelosi told her fellow democrats in a letter that she has, quote, asked judiciary committee chairman jerry nadler to be prepared to bring to the floor next week a resolution to appoint managers and transmit articles of impeachment to the senate. as you know, this comes 23 days now after the house actually impeached the president, effectively ending the standoff between the speaker and mitch mcconnell. trump's reaction came in this interview with fox news. >> i think it's ridiculous. she should have sent them a long time ago. it -- it just -- it belittles the process. nancy pelosi will go down as probably the least successful speaker of the house in the history of our nation. >> the president with laura ingraham from earlier today. pelosi's decision means the trial could get under way sometime next week but we'll also be discussing this with one of our guests tonight. these things start slowly at first. and this finds the president presently caught up in the growing controversy about the shifting justifications for the drone strike against the iranian general soleimani. here is some of what we have heard from the president and his people just yesterday. >> we had very good intelligence that there was an imminent attack being planned. >> but time and place? >> it was imminent. you never know the time and place of these things with perfect particularity, but we had very good information that there were imminent attacks. >> there is no doubt that there were a series of imminent attacks that were being plotted by qassem soleimani. >> soleimani was actively planning new attacks, and he was looking very seriously at our embassies and not just the embassy in baghdad. >> then this morning secretary pompeo was back before reporters with a slightly different account. >> we had specific information on an imminent threat, and that threat stream included attacks on u.s. embassies, period, full stop. >> so you were mistaken when you said you didn't know precisely when and you didn't know precisely -- >> nope. completely true. those are completely consistent thoughts. >> why can you say that here and the president can say it at a rally in toledo, but no one said it to lawmakers behind closed wars in a classified setting as multiple senators have since said? >> we did. >> so the senators are lying -- >> we told them about the imminent threat, all of the intelligence that we've briefed, that you've heard today, i assure you in an unclassified setting we've provided in the classified setting as well. >> to be clear, you told them embassies were be targeted? that was the imminent threat? >> i'm not going to talk about the details of what we shared in the classified setting. >> so that's how that went. not long after that, trump divulged more information to fox news. >> don't the american people have a right to know what specifically was targeted without revealing methods and sources? >> well, i don't think so, but we will tell you that probably it was going to be the embassy in baghdad. i can reveal that i believe it would have been four embassies. >> lawmakers who were in the administration's classified briefing earlier this week said this was news to them. >> there is nothing that substantiates that claim either that has been provided by the president or the secretary of state or secretary of defense, either publicly or in our briefing. >> there has been this evolving contradictory set of stories which, again, speaks to not only the need for us to have a full briefing, but it speaks to the importance of having a full-fledged discussion and debate about the war powers act. >> meanwhile, importantly "the washington post" reports a senior administration official and a senior defense official as saying, quote, they were only aware of vague intelligence about a plot against the embassy in baghdad and that the information did not suggest a fully formed plot. neither official said there were threats against multiple embassies. the defense official added there was concern that there might be an attempt to place a bomb at the baghdad embassy, a heavily fortified structure, in a secure area of the iraqi capital. the poft also says the u.s. tried and failed to take out another iranian military commander, this one in yemen, that the attempt on his life took place on the same day as the soleimani killing. the administration has imposed new penalties on iran, today officially announcing new economic sanctions targeting exports and eight separate iranian officials. "the wall street journal" has new reporting about how trump's national security team handled the original decision to carry out the strike on soleimani as well as on the president's thinking. one of the authors of this piece, michael bender, is standing by to join us in just a moment. he and his colleagues report, quote, mr. trump, after the strike, told associates he was under pressure to deal with general soleimani from gop senators he views as important supporters in his coming impeachment trial in the senate. calling to mind something trump said about obama, this was back in 2011. >> our president will start a war with iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. he's weak, and he's ineffective. so the only way he figures that he's going to get re-elected and as sure as you're sitting there is to start a war with iran. >> and because of the adage that there's always a tweet, it has proven true in this case. in order to get elected, barack obama will start a war with iran, back in 2011. it's been an eventful week to say the least, and the anxiety was plainly evident across the political spectrum. >> nancy pelosi does it again and her democrats fall right in line. one, they're in love with terrorists. we see that. they mourn soleimani more than they mourn our gold star families who are the ones who suffered under soleimani. that's a problem. >> so the ranking republican on the judiciary committee there, congressman doug collins, has since walked that back today, saying, quote, i do not believe democrats are in love with terrorists, and i apologize for what i said earlier this week. all of which brings us to our leadoff discussion on a friday night. three of our print colleagues who chronicle this story every day. michael bender, white house reporter with "the wall street journal." annie karni, white house reporter for "the new york times." and melanie zanona, congressional reporter for politico. good evening and welcome to you all. annie, i'd like to start with you with another clip from this fox news interview. here is how the president might view the sworn testimony of one mr. bolton. >> why not call bolton? why not allow him to testify? this thing is bogus. why not allow boatel to testify? >> i have no problem other than one thing. >> are you going to invoke executive privilege? >> i think you have to for the sake of the office. >> for future presidents, annie, this is not the first time we've heard this. are we to take this that the white house perhaps who not welcome john bolton being sworn in? >> i mean they've made it clear that they don't want witnesses. mitch mcconnell has made it clear that his strategy is hand in hand with the white house, and his strategy is to avoid calling any witnesses. but one thing -- nancy pelosi's stalling technique, she did not get everything she wanted by holding up the articles of impeachment. but one thing that did come out of here was during these weeks, we found out that bolton is willing to testify, and that makes mitch mcconnell's job of saying there will be no witnesses slightly harder when now it's not a theoretical question. it's a real person with real information we haven't heard before who's willing to come and talk, and he has to provide a reason of why he doesn't want that to happen that makes any sense. so -- but, yes, trump doesn't want bolton to testify. the white house doesn't -- has held up everyone from testifying, and that is the lead that mitch mcconnell is following. >> hey, melanie, let's talk about susan collins of maine, mostly because it's just so much fun to talk about susan collins of maine. she's in a very tight spot. she is not alone among that group of vulnerable republican senators. how does a susan collins find a way to say, you know what? we're good. we don't need to hear from bolton? >> i think it's going to be really difficult for her and other vulnerable republicans who are up for re-election to say we don't need to hear from witnesses, especially with someone like bolton who, mind you, has a book deal. so some of this information could be coming out anyway, and it could backfire on her down the road with her voters if something salacious and damning does come out and she wasn't pushing aggressively. but right now it seems like she's given herself a little bit of an out by saying we're going to punt the question of witnesses to further down the road. but she is leaving the door open to calling witnesses like bolton in the future. she told some local reporters today in maine that she's working with a handful of other republicans to ensure that witnesses are called. we just don't know yet who she would support and whether there would be enough support from other republicans for that to actually happen. >> michael bender, it is occurring to people who saw your byline today and the piece below it, that your piece drawing the first link between impeachment and the air strike in iran really gets to the nub of impeachment itself, the use of u.s. foreign policy toward a political aim or goal. >> yeah, definitely. and it gives it a little bit of an insight into how trump is thinking about both issues quite frankly. and, you know, this also just sort of opens up a bit of a pandora's box for trump. iran, i think there's going to be a couple of story lines coming out of this one as we've sort of backed away from the brink of war here, but there's an open question of where the next -- when or if there will be another military escalation. the second one is whether or not trump bent the intel here to justify his own action. it's hard to overstate what that would do to -- or what a big piece of trump's political brand that is. >> mm-hmm. >> to remind you of 2016, everyone remembers how trump took down jeb bush and everyone remembers calling him low energy. but the policy that trump really tied around jeb's neck was wmds and his brother's decision to go into iraq based on faulty intel. >> absolutely. annie karni, tell us about what you know to be the president's immediate foreign policy circle these days, and please add your reporting today on mr. kushner. >> secretary of state mike pompeo clearly won the battle. there was a rift in his foreign policy circle between john bolton and pompeo. pompeo won that battle and is very close with the president. o'brien, the new national security adviser, is close with jared kushner, is close with pompeo, is close with the president. esper is also a former classmate of pompeo's, so this is a group that's tight amongst each other and have the president's ear and don't -- unlike previous people who have held these jobs, aren't challenging him in the same way or are more going along and trying to enact what he wants. i wrote a story that was in today's paper about a voice that has been central to middle east policy since day one of this administration, jared kushner, the ubiquitous son-in-law who has been notably absent from anything to do with this iran strike from the -- whatever planning seat of the pants or not that went into it to the meetings in the situation room afterwards. he hasn't been there, and that's a sign. that would have been not the case in the first two years of this administration, especially when tillerson was the secretary of state. but now we see that jared's role in the middle east has receded as people who the president trusts more have taken on the actual official cabinet-level jobs on the foreign policy team here. >> hey, melanie, i've got a job for you and let's give people a chance to open the calendar apps on their phone. walk us through the calendar of what impeachment -- the early stages, the early days is going to look like. the first day we could hear a gavel in the senate chamber. who needs to get sworn in? how long does that take? >> i would caution it's not going to start off with a bang. it's going to be a slow process to begin with. the house will vote as early as next tuesday or wednesday on a resolution naming impeachment managers and sending those articles over. after that, the senate has 24 hours to begin their trial, but the first stages that need to happen are some logistical details they still need to iron out. first chief justice roberts will be sworn in. then he will deliver the oath of impartiality to the senators. then they have to vote on the rules package to set up the parameters for the debate. after that, both sides are going to get a chance to submit trial brief. in the clinton days, it was three days they had to submit those. then both sides were then allowed to submit a reply. so we're actually not expecting the real action to take place until after the mlk day, the following week. but we're buckling in for at least two weeks of a trial here. i think it just depends on whether or not they end up calling witnesses. >> and of course they want this all wrapped up by the time the president walks down the aisle of the house chamber next door to deliver the state of the union. michael bender, i'm going to share with you and everyone watching tonight a bit of mr. hannity from earlier this evening. >> members of the u.s. senate, especially you republicans, you need to end this for the sake of our country and our constitution and frankly for the sake of future presidents. >> michael bender, end this now for the sake of your country. are we going to be hearing and seeing the president and mcconnell say that same thing with any real seriousness going forward? >> well, to a degree, right? i mean and he mentioned earlier some of the benefits of delaying of the articles of impeachment from pelosi. one of the things it did was, for democrats, is gave room to some republicans to say, hey, maybe we should try to have at least some impartiality and wait to hear the facts before we make a decision. but that hasn't really done anything to put any light between mcconnell and trump over these last couple of weeks. in fact, trump is really deferring to mcconnell every step of the way here. he's not talking about dismissing this case out of hand anymore. he does want witnesses, but mcconnell doesn't, and the white house by all accounts is willing to go along with that. so if anything, they do feel like they have a little bit of wind at their backs right now with a handful of democratic members saying, you know, it's time to send these articles over. the white house is not used to democrats telling nancy pelosi what to do. we've heard trump quite often complain that republicans don't lock arms quite as tight as democrats. but, you know, we'll see how long this wind lasts behind the back of the white house here. they have to name their own impeachment team in the senate. it sounds like jim jordan and john ratcliffe are all but assured to be members of that. watch for alan dershowitz. there's some people in the white house who really view him as a legal expert and really like his résume, not just the president. but alan has his own legal issues, and it will be interesting to see if the white house is willing to overlook those as they head into the impeachment trial here in the coming days. >> we are much obliged to our print colleagues after this unwieldy and exhausting week of news coverage. to michael bender, to annie karni, to melanie zanona, our thanks for coming on tonight. and coming up for us, the iraqi government wants our troops out. at least that's what their resolution said. days ago it sounded like we were coming out anyway. and now trump and the secretary of state have both weighed in on this. and later, the four-letter word the 2020 candidates cannot stop thinking about.

middle east. >> i don't -- >> why not use this opportunity to say we're done? >> i'm okay with it. by the way -- >> you're okay with removing our troops from iraq? >> that's what they say publicly. they don't say that privately. >> that exchange with the president tonight does call for a reminder. iraq is our ally. we broke it, we bought it. we've had troops there for just about a generation, while it's also true that the iraqi parliament passed a resolution this week calling for the removal of our forces. it's also true that a letter on department of defense letterhead leaked that talked about us moving on from iraq. but now our state department says they do not wish to discuss troop withdrawal with the iraqis. thank goodness we have two journalistic veterans to talk to about this tonight. with us tonight from beirut, id understand we're fighting a substantial satellite delay is a former bbc correspondent who covered the middle east and the state department. she these days is a senior visiting fellow for the carnegie endowment for international peace and the author of the book "black wave" on the rivalry between iran and the saudis. and here with us in new york for a rare stateside appearance, christopher dickey, a veteran foreign correspondent, journalist, and author himself. we normally see him high above the champs-elysses in paris where he is based as the world news editor for "the daily beast." thank you both for being here. kim, because we're talking to you the farthest distance away, i would like to get your reaction to the iranians doing the only thing they could do in the face of all the evidence, admitting that this was a shoot-down, this civilian jetliner by one of their missiles. >> you know, brian, when i woke up that morning in beirut to the news of both iranian missile strikes against bases in iraq and the news of this downed civilian aircraft or, you know, the civilian aircraft that had crashed, i did immediately wonder whether it had mistaken been downed. and to hear the iranians admit now that it was unintentionally brought down by an iranian missile strike is just tragic. i mean it is already tragic that so many civilians died in this crash. but it is now also an eerie and tragic -- it has an eerie, tragic parallel to 1988 when the "uss vincennes" mistakenly brought down an iranian civilian aircraft with 290 iranians on board. the parallels are just really awful and eerie, and it's terrible for iran and it's terrible for iranians to think that in all those years with all the conflicts that we've seen and all the standoff between the u.s. and iran, it is really iranians who continue to pay the price, iranian civilians who continue to pay the price as so often in the region, it is always the civilians who pay the price for this. i think it's going to give everyone a real moment for pause. remember in 1988, that incident with the "uss vincennes" and the civilian iranian airline in essence was a turning point in the iran/iraq war. the u.s. at the time said it was a tragic mistake, and the iranians felt that this was not enough, and they really felt abandoned by the world as a population. and they felt that there was simply no way they could win the world's sympathy, and it made them move faster towards agreeing to a cease-fire in their war with iraq. today we see this happen with the iranian missile strike bringing down a ukrainian plane with iranian civilians on board, iranian canadians, many other nationalities. it is really going to give everyone a moment for pause to really understand the cost of this continued standoff between the united states and iran in the region. >> christopher dickey, as an american in paris with all of this in mind, i'd like you to go big and tell us from your perspective, not over the course of our lifetimes but just recent decades, how views of the united states and how the united states' own behavior has changed. >> well, i think if you look back, say, to 2000, you were looking at the united states as the most powerful country in the world, the richest country in the world, and also the country that had the most ability to do good, to fight climate change, to spread democracy, to do all kinds of things that we think are virtuous in international affairs. and then we had 9/11. president bush was in office, and we basically blew it. we invaded iraq. we didn't need to invade iraq. we set out on these endless wars that we pursued, and we set out on this global war on terror, which has done a lot more to undermine american values and undermine american prestige in the world than we could ever have imagined. i mean compare the country in 2000 with the country today. look at the divisions that exist in the united states today. look at american credibility today. look at the credibility of the american president. nobody can even figure out what he's saying anymore. this is really, really a very sad state of affairs, and i think people in europe feel it very much. you look at the ratings, the popularity ratings or the approval ratings of the american president in europe. they are abysmally low. you talk to leaders in europe, and they say almost publicly and certainly privately, they laugh at the president but they're laughing to keep from crying. so i think that american prestige is on the wane, and i think people like vladimir putin are very happy about it because she see this as an opportunity for russia to once again be an ascendant power, and the chinese are much more quiet, but they are the big winners in this. >> can we put the artwork on the screen? since you invoked putin's name, a depiction of the president today in russian media. that's the outline, of course. the symbolism is supposed to remind us of blood drenched missile warheads. for folks who don't know the politics of the media, christopher, what's that kind of trolling about? >> they actually picked that up from a twitter feed allied with the supreme leader of iran. but they loved it on russian television. they kept showing it on russian television to show it was a slap in the face of the united states, these missiles that iran launched against those american-allied installations in iraq. and it was just one more way of saying the united states has been humiliated and we in russia are very pleased to see that. >> kim, you should get the last word. should americans -- and we don't want to frighten people. we're yet to go to bed. you've got your whole saturday ahead of you there. should americans' worry be iran further aggression or all of their surrogates, which really can circle the globe? >> you know, i would say probably both. i don't expect to see a full-on war between iran and the united states. no one in the region wants to see that, including america's allies like saudi arabia. they have been calling for de-escalation. iran will likely continue to use its proxies in the region, but i really must say that after this admission that they unintentionally brought down the iranian civilian aircraft, there would be a moment of pause. i would just like to follow up on what christopher said. i would like to point out in the region, people are watching very carefully what president trump is going to do. president trump did run on the promise of bringing down or drawing down america's presence in the region, but he seems to be taking actions that only increase america's role in the region. and i must say that in the current context, america's allies are not displeased, and even people who usually criticize the united states are not necessarily displeased with that because i can tell you one thing. what a lot of people have on their mind here is not only america's role in the region but iran's role in the region and its very aggressive expansionist policies. so in private iraqis are probably telling the united states that they're not too keen on seeing american forces withdraw too quickly. >> kim, i learned a long time ago to agree with everything christopher says. our thanks to kim ghattas, to christopher dickey. we greatly appreciate you both coming on. coming up for us, 24 days to go until iowa. back to domestic politics we go, and a new name is atop the latest poll. steve kornacki, who has the best numbers, will join us in the studio after this. er this. this melting pot of impacted species. everywhere is going to get touched by climate change. got to say it. duty bound. 24 days away from the iowa caucuses. can you believe it? tonight brand-new polling out of the hawkeye state that is making headlines. and so back at the big board for us tonight, get used to seeing him there. our national political correspondent steve kornacki. hey, steve. >> hey, brian. yes. and we finally have new numbers out of iowa. not been a lot of polling despite the importance of iowa and the early states. here it is. des moines register poll tonight. des moines register, they call it the gold standard poll of iowa. sanders the headline. bernie sanders ahead in this iowa caucus poll three weeks before the big night. but also keep in mind four candidates here, sanders, warren, buttigieg, biden within five points of each other. so sanders does have the lead, but four candidates within striking distance of the lead in this and potentially victory. we are expecting -- we'll talk about this a lot the next few weeks -- astronomical turnout for this thing. interest among democrats in iowa has never been this high. there is this question will one group be higher than the other. look inside this poll. for instance, the age gap. democrats in iowa under 35, bernie sanders is running away with this thing. he's practically doubling up elizabeth warren. joe biden is barely registering with democrats under 35. just 4% there. flip this around, though. 55-plus, suddenly biden's in first place. suddenly it's bernie sanders who's back in single digits. huge difference there between younger and older voters. who is showing up more? who is showing up at a surprising level? that could be key. also an id logical question among moderates, biden leads. buttigieg right behind him. sanders and warren lagging. liberal voters, suddenly sanders takes the lead slightly over warren. very liberal voters, sanders, warren running away with it. biden barely registering it. some huge, seismic gaps in this thing. so turnout, and who's turnout, we always say it's a clooe shea, but it's true. big deal. right now we are joined by stephanie ruhle, veteran of the investment and business world and happens to be our newly named nbc news senior business correspondent. where does she find any time to live? and charlie sykes, founder and editor at large of the bulwark and a frequent guest of ours. good evening to you both and welcome. steph, your reporting this morning on one michael bloomberg gave a lot of democrats a reason to fill their lungs with air. can you share it with the good folks watching tonight? >> without a doubt. mike bloomberg is in this campaign, in it to win it. you know he has spent a tremendous amount of money, but he made an announcement that is going to positively impact the entire democratic field. he has hired 500 people across six battleground states, set up field offices, and has employed those people through the election. that is through november. and if michael bloomberg doesn't win the primary, if the democratic voters say, you're not our pick, he will take that apparatus and devote it entirely to whomever that candidate is. he will also take hawkfish. you've probably read about hawkfish. that is his huge digital operation, the only digital operation that rivals president trump's run by brad parscale, and take that and devote it because when mike bloomberg decided to run, even before, he said back in august his number-one goal was to get donald trump out of office. he believes any of the democrats in the field would make a better president than president trump. he himself think he's the most qualified, but if it's not him, he is still devoting this massive machine to getting trump out. >> here's a gross question. have you been surprised to see what money can buy, what the two billionaires have been able to buy themselves? you've got people who have been in this race for months down there at -- >> years. >> -- at 2%, 3%, and suddenly these guys can rocket to second place in south carolina, for example, for steyer. >> brian, money works. we know that. and we hear democrats every day disgusted with how much money is in the process, but here's the thing. those are the current rules. hate the game, not the player. you're going to be running against donald trump, who is going to have a huge amount of money and effort behind him. so one of these democrats wants to take that position in the white house, great. and when they're the next president, they can change the rules. but for now, money is having an impact. mike bloomberg has only been in this race for six weeks. he's already polling at fifth. look at tom steyer. >> charlie sykes, it's been way too long since we've spoke. i'm curious to hear what a guy like you thinks of a guy like bernie sanders and his presence in the democratic party right now and where this time around, where this goes for him. >> well, i think it dovetails with what stephanie was just talking about because, you know, democrats say they think that donald trump poses an existential threat to the future of the republic, but they don't necessarily behave that way. and i think that when you see bernie sanders at the top of the list, i have to ask myself how serious are you about winning this general election? but, you know, one of the things is that mike bloomberg has made it very clear that he actually does think it's an existential threat and he's going to put his money there. i say that as somebody who has been very, very critical. look, democrats have some fundamental decisions to make. it's very much a battle for the soul and the heart and the future of the democratic party, and we're going to see this play out very, very carefully. but, you know, bernie sanders represents the far left wing of this party. and if, in fact, democrats, as we've been told, are really focused on electability, i think they're going to have a moment where they're going to step back and say, all right. you know, how important is it to defeat donald trump as opposed to electing a democratic socialist president? and we're going to see that over the next several weeks play out. >> brian, it is senator sanders or warren, will they take mike bloomberg's support? and if they don't, is there number one priority to get president trump out of office? >> charlie, i've watched your journey, and i've read every word you've written about it. i haven't asked you, however, do you think donald trump is beatable? >> yes, donald trump is definitely beatable. there's no question about it. but he's beatable by someone who can appeal to this fundamental decency and a desire to return to normalcy. i'm not sure that americans want more revolution or more struggle. but, yes, donald trump can be beaten. he will be beaten in places like wisconsin where i'm sitting right now in the upper midwest if the democrats nominate an electable candidate. >> alliteration fans should know, steve and steph and psysy are staying with us over this break. coming up, more on what else we should expect from the campaign trail over these ten months to come. that little kid's face said it all for all of us. i'm your 70lb st. bernard puppy, and my lack of impulse control, is about to become your problem. ahh no, come on. i saw you eating poop earlier. hey! my

what a relief it is! so fast! as we mentioned at the top, we are now 298 days away from election day in november. it only gets busier from here on out. fresh off last night's raucous 2020 kickoff in toledo, the president is scheduled, you'll be happy to know, for two more campaign rallies before the end of this month. still with us, stephanie ruhle, charlie sykes, and here in new york, steve kornacki as well. charlie sykes, it appears the president and his folks would like very much to expand the travel ban. during '18, they ran on the caravan that was coming north to somehow get us all and take over our economy. do you have -- can you see especially the vulnerable republicans trying to run on the expansion of a travel ban? >> in some areas of the country, yes. but that really -- you go back to 2015. remember that moment where donald trump says, i, donald j. trump, am proposing a complete ban on muslims in the united states. >> mm-hmm. >> that was a real litmus test for the republican party. remember how many republican voices were raised against all of that. but now the party has completely acquiesced to that sort of thing. but this is an indication that donald trump is not necessarily reaching out to the senate. this going to be a base-only election, and it may play well in some parts of the country. i'm not sure how well it plays in the upper midwest where the election is going to be decided, though. >> stephanie ruhle, because we have not congratulated you on the air for your new title, which includes supreme allied commander, i will ask you how is the economy, and it's in the context, if you were in charge of prognosticating re-election chances for a republican incumbent president, how's the economy? >> listen, if the economy holds in the way that it is, that's a very big positive for the president. but think about expanding this muslim ban. what is that? that is part of a culture war because the culture war speaks back to the have-nots. those who voted for president trump the first time around, who said i've been economically left out of the system, it's not working for me. well, that system still isn't working for those people. if you go to some of those battleground states, things aren't better for industrials. they're not better for manufacturing. they're better for people who own stocks. look at unemployment. unemployment is at historic lows, but wages have barely gone up. we got the jobs number today, and wages rose by 2.9%. we haven't seen it less than 3% in 18 months. with unemployment where it is, we should see wage growth at 4%, but we're not because there's no pressure. when you go to mcdonald's, when you go to cvs, what are they investing in? kiosks. self-check out. that's not employing people and -- >> used one just yesterday. steve kornacki, here's a dated throwback to something invented in this building. when you talk, i am the rca dog. i never miss any of your numbers. i am right there. i'm attentive, and i have noticed in all of your segments, trump's numbers have stayed pretty steady. does foreign policy, does this iran business have the potential to move his base number more than you've seen it thus far? >> so it's interesting. if you look at his approval rating right now, the average of all the polls, he's sitting just a tick south of 45%. that's actually up about two points since the impeachment saga started. so i think that surprised people a bit. it's also significantly lower than if you just looked at the economy. normally a president presiding over this kind of economy would be the 50s or the 60s. so he's not meeting that sort of typical level that a president gets, but i think it raises an interesting question. we haven't seen enough polling after the events of the past week yet to see if there's going to be any kind of a bounce here. but i think if trump is going to get re-elected, he probably needs to be about two points above where he is right now. i think that really starts to put him in the game if he can get to 47%. if you look at the winning numbers he got in '16. so he's not far off of it right now. see if he can find it somewhere. >> he's also working hard to tell the american people, even if the economy isn't great for you, any democrat is going to tank it. and people are afraid of that. >> i imagine we might hear that once or twice over the next ten months. we promised folks would learn stuff tonight. i think we've delivered. with thanks to stephanie ruhle, to steve kornacki, and to charlie sykes. coming up, things got sporty yesterday on the

the crew of our destroyer sounded five short warning blasts to signify maritime danger. [ horn blasts ] >> the navy said the destroyer requested the russian ship alter its course. the russians initially refused but ultimately turned away, avoiding a collision. at one point these two ships were only about 60 yards apart. you don't like that. another video released by the navy shows the russian ship crossing our destroyer's wake. the navy said in a statement, while the russians eventually altered their course indeed, the delay in complying with international rules increased the risk of collision between these two vessels. russia denies that their ship aggressively approached the u.s. destroyer, said it was the u.s. navy ship, in fact, that acted unprofessionally. most people feel the video may tell the story here. another break for us. when we come back, who would like to end the week on some good news?

what did i tell new what did i tell you? you don't buy anything. you hear me? don't buy anything. >> you see, jimmy told them they weren't supposed to buy anything fancy or flashy on account of the heat being on them all for the lufthansa heist. and that is among the great scenes in "good fellas" filmed inside neir's tavern. and what did i tell you? neir's is owned by a lieutenant with the new york city fire department. just days ago he announced to the regulars that after a huge rent increase by the landlord, he couldn't keep up. neir's was going to have to close this coming sunday. but then late today, something went right in new york city. it took the mayor, the chamber of commerce, and the local councilman, but neir's is staying under a new five-year lease. so the next time you're in queens, the next time you fly into kennedy, take a cab over to neir's, order the shine box burger. i'm not kidding. and the beverage of your choice because, what did i tell you? neir's tavern will remain a part of new york city film hiss, meaning hundreds more customers are going to be able to post photos from the exact spot where de niro looks at ray lee iot ta and says, come here you. that is our broadcast. thanks for being here with us. have a good weekend and good night from our nbc news headquarters in new york. thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. happy to have you with us. happy friday. the impeachment trial of president donald trump is set to begin in the united states senate maybe as soon as next week, but if not very soon thereafter. it has happened. house speaker nancy pelosi announcing today she's asked the judiciary committee in the house to prepare a resolution fone
