And peugeot buys the failing arm of gm motors. What happens tojobs in the uk . It has taken the white house above to produce its new revised travel order. This one will come into play in ten days and wouldnt wean a temporary freeze on visas from people travelling from these six predominantly muslim countries. It also places a 120 day freeze on refugee arrivals. Iraq has been removed from the list. Syrian refugees, green card holders and visa holders are exempt. 0n the decision to exempt iraq, here is rex tillerson. Iraq is an important ally in the fight to defeat isis, with their brave soldiers fighting in close Co Ordination with americas men and women in uniform. This intense review over the past month identified multiple Security Measures that the State Department and the government of iraq will be implementing to achieve our shared objective of preventing those with criminal or terrorist intent from reaching the United States. The previous Executive Order was struck down by the courts, Butjeff Sessions said that both that version and todays revised order are legal. The Department Of Justice believes that this Executive Order, just as the First Executive order, is a lawful and proper exercise of president ial authority. This Department Of Justice will defend and enforce lawful orders of the president consistent with the Core Principles of our constitution. The executive is empowered, under the constitution, and by congress, to make National Security judgments and to enforce our Immigration Policies in order to safeguard the American Public. Jeff sessions, speaking there. Nick brya nt jeff sessions, speaking there. Nick bryant is with us. The first version of this order cause bedlam at american airports and in american courts will this do the same . M feels like president ial deja vu, doesnt it . So many key differences here. They have taken their time with this order, being meticulous in their planning, seemingly, where last time, they were haphazard and rather slovenly about the wording of the order. The reason is that they wa nt the order. The reason is that they want this to withstand legal challenge. The last order was fairly easy for opponents like the American Civil Liberties union to overturn, to persuade a federal court that it was unconstitutional. That is one aim of this revised ban. Another aim is, it makes it more politically palatable to take iraq off the list. John mccain said, how can you include our ally in fighting Islamic State 7 ta ke include our ally in fighting Islamic State . Take iraq off the list. And they have done that. Republicans have been critical of the first order and have said that they are happy with this one. The Washington State attorney general said the Trump Administration has capitulated on numerous policies. It looks like they have more legal backing, but we have the aclu saying they are not happy, and an attorney general in massachusetts saying he is not happy. Will this face another Court Challenge . You would have thought so. Challenge . You would have thought so. There are challenge . You would have thought so. There are areas challenge . You would have thought so. There are areas where the aclu, the American Civil Liberties union, will focus. You can be discriminated on grounds of race, sex, nationality, place of birth or place of residence. The Supreme Court has argued that protects some protections dont apply to some people. It doesnt include dual citizens. We will see there is a challenge whether the courts go with it. There is one interesting line from jeff sessions, who said that 300 refugees that had come into the country are now under investigation by the fbi. There will be plenty people in europe will look at that, who felt that refugees coming to europe werent properly screened and vetted who will say, yes, we have sympathy with where the americans are coming from on this. And that is why so many people in america support this ban, and supported the initial one. There are people who think this is an american, that it violates that welcoming tradition that that is not american. Against that that is not american. Against that are these people who think, no, we have to protect their homeland and do what it takes. What liberal and do what it takes. What liberal and progressive opponents of the ban would say is that if you were serious about the National Security aspects, why is saudi arabia of the list . Pakistan, afghanistan . There is no evidence that people from any of the countries listed have actually carried out attacks on american soil, which is an argument you might hear in court. Christian, we will talk a lot about law today, and National Security, but that revised travel order is supposed to put the white house on the front foot, and yet the headlines this Morning In America were dominated by the administration s allegedly next to russia. President trump alleged that president 0bama had ordered a wiretap on his phone, calling it mccarthyism. He then went on to say that president 0bamas action was not legal, and he described it as a new low. How low as president 0bama gone . That is what he wrote in another. This is nixon watergate. And then, president 0bama is a bad 01 and then, president 0bama is a bad or sick guy. It is extraordinary to hear a sitting president speak about a former president like that. Mr trump spent a weekend at his mara largo florida golf club. We spoke to a friend whojoined largo florida golf club. We spoke to a friend who joined him there. Chris ruddy, you spoke to President Trump over the weekend how would you describe his mood at the moment . I spoke to him twice on saturday. I would say he is not a happy camper. I spoke to him after he had done the tweet that morning, where he alleged that there were wiretaps made against him and his campaign at the order of president 0bama, and he was sort of angry that he was targeted, and he was very confident about the information he had, so i dont think, and i dont think weve seen any walkback from the white house since he made those comments, and he told me later that night, as the story was developing, i asked him, based on all the denials that had come out during the day, and he said, look, and i have this on my blog, he said, look, you know, if they investigate, they will find out, i will be proven right, and they need to look into this. So, just to be clear, you spoke to the president twice. You spoke to him on the phone, i understand, or did you see him in person . I saw him in person twice. I saw him at the lunch hour and at the dinner hour. And youve known mr trump for 20 years, but i think youve reported that youve never seen him this angry. I dont recall, certainly during this election period, him being. He wasnt screaming or yelling, but he had a certain look and demeanour that indicated that he was not happy. It wasnt about the media that he wasnt happy. He was unhappy that the former president , he believed, had targeted his campaign, and he described it to me as a watergate action. He described it as mccarthyism, and he was also concerned that the press. He asked me if the press was covering it. Remember, he had just come off the links, and i said, no, it is all over. We had it as the lead on newsmax, and he was glad to hear that people were picking it up. So, it was the allegations, as he put it, that president 0bama had wiretapped trump tower that were making him particularly angry . That he was targeted. I dont know if trump tower is really key, or that crucial, here. I think, and if you look through all the denials that came through this weekend, nobody, and one of the Trump Administration officials told me late last night, everybodys mincing their words. Theyre not really saying that the Trump Campaign was not surveilled. They are saying that president 0bama never issued an order. Legally, he is not empowered to issue an order, so the question is, did he know about it or not . The fbi has given a very narrow, not an official denial, a narrow denial through an anonymous source in the new york times. You wonder why they havent come out and officially just denied it altogether. I can tell you that, having been knowledgeable about the Trump Campaign and the election period, that there is basically a 100 consensus among Trump Campaign people that they were surveilled during the campaign. Just to be clear, President Trump didnt just say it once, he said it in four separate tweets that it was president 0bama who had tapped him. He said it in different ways but in four separate tweets. What evidence did he give you in the conversations that you had with him over the course of the weekend to back that up, to back up that claim that president 0bama had wiretapped or surveilled the Trump Campaign . He didnt offer me any evidence, but he spoke with great confidence on the matter. It would strain credulity if the president did not know about this, even if he officially didnt give an order, and knowing how the 0bama white house operated. The irs targeted conservative organisations, i believe illegally, and the head of that irs was over at the White House 2a Times meeting with 0bamas top advisers. She pleaded the fifth amendment. They deleted e mails. There was never an investigation, never a special prosecutor, and for them to say that the president didnt know about the irs issue, it is again another thing where if somebody looks into this, they might find that there is a lot more there. Were getting to 50 days in the Trump Presidency do you believe that President Trump, your friend of 20 years, is being well served by the team around him . By his own admission, they got a c on messaging. Several weeks ago, i gave him an a for shaking things up in washington, and i have given him a c as well on messaging on one of my interviews here in the states. And i think that he realises there needs to be improvement. I think you have seen a dramatic. Reince priebus, for instance, whom ive been critical of in the past, i think you have seen him really pick up his game. The speech that was given to the joint Session Of Congress was tremendous, and what we saw is that the press didnt like the narrative coming out of that speech and they started talking Aboutjeff Sessions and the recusal. The head of 0bamas Intelligence Agencies Wasjust On Meet The Press yesterday, and he said they found no evidence of collusion between the Trump Campaign and the russians, nothing. So, why is the press continuing saying there is a huge story here if they are saying there is nothing after a massive investigation . Mr ruddy, its Christian Slater here in london. I just want to take you back to the warrant. If a warrant was issued, you will know that the court that oversees the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act has federaljudges sitting on it, independentjudges. There are also lawyers, Judicial Branch lawyers, who are experts on National Security, who sit and scrutinise any demands that are made, so the idea that president 0bama could rubber stamp such an order seems pretty fanciful. Under the law, the president s not allowed to issue any order for a wiretap. At least, thats how the law writes. I should tell you that in the past, president s have wiretapped political campaigns. We know in 1968, lyndonjohnson wiretapped the Nixon Campaign during the whole campaign. He used the fbi to do it. It was done illegally. We know it happened because hoovers assistant wrote a book about the illegal operation, so these things happen. I think the American Public realises this type of stuff happens. Thats why the fisa act was brought in in 1978 to stop exactly that. Im not a big fan of fisa, because i think a lot of times the judges rubber stamp. There are reports which you are aware of that when they first went to fisa over the Trump Campaign, thejudge turned down. There are other types of warrant that could be in play here. There is a title three warrant, which is a criminal probe, and that would not necessarily involve the fbi, im told, so some of these things could be happening, and i think its up to congress. Trump said, lets investigate it, and he seemed confident that he would win. I think he has a low threshold to prove here, because theres been a consensus in the Trump Campaign that they were surveilled, or their associates were surveilled, at one point or another. Mr ruddy, looking back over the course of the past 48 hours, and you spoke about the address to congress that the president gave last week, you spoke about the need to improve the president s messaging would you describe this as a good weekend for President Trump . I wouldnt say it was a great weekend. I personally think wed have been better off having these disclosures not come out in a tweet but in some other method, certainly being raised by congress, but this president is different. He is the first Non Politician ever to be a president , and his view basically is that he wants to go directly to the American People on these matters. 0k, chris ruddy, we will let you go. Thank you forjoining us. Thank you. And off he ran to another meeting it is worth remembering that chris ruddy is quite close to donald trump, and he would know his State Of Mind at the weekend. We have not heard from donald trump since friday, so to get that sort of perspective, that the president did Go Off The Deep End on saturday when he looked at what had happened on thursday and friday, and again, this frustration over the Lea Ks Thursday and friday, and again, this frustration over the leaks and his administration being continually undermined. Yes, as chris ruddy were suggesting, there seems to be relief in the Trump Campaign that they were subject to surveillance. There is a picture of chris ruddy with donald trump in the oval office, proof that they are close. 0ne trump in the oval office, proof that they are close. One of the things that struck me listening to that interview was chris ruddy saying, when i asked for evidence, what evidence donald trump had given him that barack evidence donald trump had given him that ba rack 0bama evidence donald trump had given him that barack 0bama had ordered the tapping of his foes, he said coming he didnt offer me any evidence but he didnt offer me any evidence but he sounded confident on the matter. The tapping of his phones. And he was quite coy about how he had gone. He gave the president a c for messaging and communication. Today, it has been low key. All the president s meetings have been off camera, and it was a low key roll out of the travel order. This is the last few minutes in the White House Press room. Sean spicer is giving a briefing, and you can see how many people are there for the questions, but again, this is off camera today. Iamjust off camera today. I am just reading the latest from what is called a gaggle, and donald trump has apparently not spoken to the fbi about this. He does Want Congress to expand its investigation to include this business of surveillance, and sean spicer, on this issue of the surveillance and where it might have been ordered from, said it could have been various sources. We will need to wait to see if there is further evidence. To put it in perspective, it is extraordinary what donald trump did this weekend. He effectively accused the previous president of committing a crime. The onusis president of committing a crime. The onus is on the white house to find the evidence for that, whether it is through a fisa court, as you were asking chris ruddy, by other means. Lets look at the legality of this. Have chris ruddy referred to an interview that the head of National Intelligence gave yesterday. There was a denial of any wiretapping going on before the election. There was no such wiretap activity mounted against the president elect at the time as a candidate or against his campaign. You would be told this . I would know that. If there was a fisa court order about Something Like this . Something like this, absolutely. And at this point, you cant confirm or deny whether that exists . I can deny it. A short while ago, i spoke to matthew miller, who served as spokesperson at the Justice Department until 2011. Matt miller, you heard chris ruddy there saying that President Trump
