Public television in america and around the globe. The allegations had been explosive but the question today, would be testimony be equally so . Straight out of the gates, the director of the fbi confirmed his agency is looking into possible into parents by russia in the us president ial elections. He also made clear there is no evidence to back up President Trumps claims of wiretapping at trumps claims of wiretapping at trump tower. Both of these issues have consumed the us public and been the ...

Particularly over taiwan. you saw this bubble up last week with the taiwanese president that the u.s. has forces on ground, a training role, but in taiwan. thats a deep issue for china and it shows the depth of u.s. concern about chinas threat to taiwan. so, to miss an opportunity for xi and biden to speak, perhaps find a way forward on this is a loss. the white house trying to look at this as a positive, because biden has something of an advantage. >> i take it, kaitlan, president biden was pre...

I dont think anyone has any special knowledge of what exactly happened. im not sure the administration has specific knowledge yet so soon after the attack. i have seen how iran works with groups and provides material, training, counsel to employ more advanced technology like this. i dont know, but it wouldnt shock me if there was an iranian training role in this whole thing. >> without asking you to speculate on what happened with that attack, let me ask you to give us your sense of why the admi...

After just nine minutes rather before fellow forward leroy sohn they doubled the lead inside the first half germany looked on course for a positive result to end a pretty terrible year but quincy promise struck back late in the second half and then now the winds captain virgil van dyke and equalized in injury time. sunday said he is pleased with the sides progress since their world cup debacle despite mondays result. sure its a bit annoying that we gave away the lead at the end but i think we pl...

The u.s. while the u.s. is supposed to be playing a backup and training role we have to remember the trump administration is doubling down on this 16-year long war bringing troop levels back up to 14,000. recently we learned that special forces were involved in something like 2500 operations in just six months and the air force is staging its heaviest air strikes since the height of that war. one final note, rick, a little bit ironic, the gathering targeted by isis today was marking the annivers...

Very dangerous mix for the u.s. and its allies there, jon. >> jon: so what has been the u.s.s response? >> we understand the white house, president trump has been apprised of this event. we heard from the u.s. embassy. they called the attack horrific. they pledge the continuing support of the united states. while the united states is there supposedly in a backup role, in a training role, the trump administration is in fact doubling down on afghanistan, raising its troop levels to something like ...

Mattis will have command over the number of troops deployed but must keep president trump fully informed. they are considering sending 3,000 to 5,000 more troops to afghanistan in advisory and training role. 48 minutes past the hour. end of an era for yahoo!. the internet icon no longer an independent company. marie anesthesia meyer walking a way with a hefty package. well tell you next.

They somehow hang on. i would say those people represents more of a trumpian world view, the national security foreign policy establishment has sort of failed and led america into a series of blunders, they are response for the iraq war and cheered on libya which turned out to be a disaster. they think the experts that everyone on the tv shows and council on foreign relations thinks so highly of are overrated and dont have great judgment. its possible that its that kind of person who still hangi...

At least being assembled. clearly i think the two main thrusts of this press conference were to say that obviously the relationship with canada is important and that the driving force behind that is also trade. and also terror. it was interesting to hear both prime minister trudeau and president trump really emphasizing canada and the u.s. as fighting terrorism tofgt you heard trudeau repeatedly make allusions to the fact that the fact that canada and the u.s. have fought alongside in korea and ...

Its all about will. we say well take another year to rebuild this iraqi army. isis will take another year to build up their army and they are improving much faster than the iraqis are. its a foot race that only isis can win. either we start acting now or isis becomes a state, become a caliphate and we are in a completely different ball game. >> quickly, is it time to take the gloves off of u.s. special forces let them outside of their training role and allow them to start going out and conductin...
