Newsroom starts right now. It is 5 00 a. M. On the u. S. East coast. U. S. President , donald trump, return ting to a format that helped to get him elected. It was Campaign Style rallying in florida. Thousands showed up there. His remarks hit on many of his most popular themes. Restoring american jobs, slamming International Trade deals and defending his con tro certification travel ban. Some of the harshest words on stage aimed as the media, specially News Organization that is he recently denounced as the, quote, enemy of the american people. Lets listen. They have become a big part of the problem. They are part of the corrupt system. Thomas jefferson, Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln and many of our greatest president s fought with the media and called them out often times on their lies. When the media lies to people, i will never, ever let them get away with it. The media will continue to do the job of just covering the news. We are going to get more from athena jones in melbourne, florida. Reporter this rally was like a flashback to campaign 2016, in many ways it was an extension of the campaign, paid for by the campaign. The white house described it as a campaign rally, asked before he got off of air force one upon arrival why he was doing a Campaign Event so early in his presidency. The president told reporters, life is a campaign. Making our country great again is a campaign. What was interesting here was that here you had the president repeating a lot of the same rhetoric we heard on the campaign trail arks lot of the same arguments we heard a few days ago at that epic press conference on thursday in the east room laying out some of what he views as his administrations great accomplishment ns his view in the first month. He talked about the fiveyear ban on lobbying. He complained once again about this travel ban and talked about the need to keep america safe. It is not unusual to see a president go out on the road early in his presidency to sell a specific policy. President trump wasnt pushing one specific policy like the stimulus package back in 2009 when president obama took office. He did try to urge democrats on capitol hill to cooperate with republicans to pass his agenda. Take a listen. It is also time for Senate Democrats to take responsibility for obamacare and to work with us to replace it with new reforms that reverse this nationwide health care tragedy. It is a tragedy. It is unaffordable. It doesnt work. I said to the republicans, you want to do something great politically. Dont do anything. Sit back for two years, let it explode. The democrats will come and beg for to us do something but we cant do that to the american people. We have to fix it and we will. We need members of both parties to join hands and work with us to pass a 1 trillion infrastructure plan to build new roads and tunnels, and highways across our great nation. He was urging bipartisan cooperation to get done the things he wants done. Democrats have indicated they are interested in working with republicans on an freinfrastruce pa package. He called upon democrats to approve judge neil gorsuch. He did end trying to sell something. Still, this was very much something he was looking forward to doing. He said early on in the speech that he wanted to get around the media filter to talk directly to the people and it was clear that this crowd really ate it. These people had been stabbeding standing in line for hours. He invited one of his support toe ers to invite him on stage. He lugged the president and spoke briefly. He said the president is keeping his promises. Spoke about the experience and what it meant to him. It was a moment of my life i will never, ever forget what happened to me. I have been with mr. President trump for over two years, fighting battles in and out, in and out of lies and terrible things said about him. I got here at 4 00 in the morning. President trump must have seen me on tv. I told the reporter that i loved President Trump and President Trump heard me say that. He told me that on stage. He said that he loves me. And i do with all my heart. He fights for us, each and every second. He didnt have to do this for us. He is 70 years old, billionaire, beautiful family and he comes out and works harder than anyone i have seen in high life. That thats why he is a winner. The one prominent republican is speaking out against the president and his constant attacks towards the media. He is saying the attacks towards the reporters runs counter towards the First Amendment and undermining the Publics Trust in a free press undermines democracy itself. Lets listen. We need you. We need a free press. We must have it. It is vital if you want to preserve. I am very serious now. If you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many times adversarial press. Thats how dictators get started. Thats u. S. Senator john mccain p speaking there. Political analyst, Ellis Henican joins us from new york. The president told reporters he plan toss move forward with a new version of his travel ban and he said he needs the support of democrats to come together, to hold hands and focus on issues like repealing obamacare and also the Infrastructure Program that he wants to put out. How does a president like President Trump gain the broader support of americans with such a divided electorate. His approval rating, right around 40 . His strategy seem toss s to insulting everybody. I think it is working fine to keep the base revved up but it is not bringing a whole lot of new adhere ants in. Trump said he would call out the media for fake news. During that rally speech, there were a number of false claims. The president claimed that thousands of refugees coming to the u. S. With no vetting, no documentation. We are told refugees are vetted extensively. He also talked about a terror ain switzerland that never happened. You look at whats happened in germany and what happened last night in swreeden. Who would believe this. They took in large numbers. They are having problems like they never thought possible. How crucial is it for us, the media, to hold the president accountable . Hugely crucial. I believe that the future of the republicans are at stake. For a long time, i have been talking about america as a tribe tribal nation. I swear to you, i think we are entering into a phase of truly competing realities. There is no agreement on what the central facts are. Our world views are so divided. It is not just that the we disagree with each other. We can not agree on the most basic facts. This question, the president has indicated that to get back out on the campaign trail and, again, he is surrounded by many of the people who are diehard, who support him. This is his way to bring the message to people who put him in office. Again, ellis, just getting to the point of campaigns after the election. What purpose do they serve . He is the president of the United States. Thats right. Think about that guy who stood up in the crowd that donald trump pulled up who gets up every morning and salutes a sixfoot cardboard cutout. Thats what this was about today, this rally. It was about keeping that guy and the tens of thousands of others assembled with him in melbourne, florida, on the program, being supportive and viewing whats been happening in washington as a welloiled machine, to use Donald Trumps current slogan. You are not convincing too many other people of it but those who started out believing it for the moment at least seem to be hanging tough. Speaking of those that he is not convincing, ever since he took office, we have seen protest after protests. This monday is president s day. Many calling it not my president s day. What message should he take from that . Most political analysts would say in the long run, somehow or another, you have to broaden this base. You have to give something to people who are not already your ardent adherants. He is taking a different strategy, the one that worked in the campaign, which is to find a substantial minority of americans and just keep them very engaged and very enthusiastic and very loyal. It won the election for him. It won the election for him. Great to have you with us. Thank you. Good to see you. Byebye, guys. The battle for mosul is intensifying. Iraqi forces have launched an operation to regain control of western mosul from isis. They have already recap yurd tul of the eastern part of the city. Iraqs Prime Minister, Haider Alabadi met on saturday discussing Counter Terrorism and the fight against isis. Lets go straight to ben wedeman for perspective. He joins us from istanbul. Explain for us how significant this battle is. Is it the final phase to drive isis out of iraq . We can say, lynda, it is one of the final phases. There is still a long way to go in terms of driving isis out of iraq and crushing isis. Keep in mind, the threat isnt just their territorial control. There is a problem. Weve seen it in baghdad. We have seen it in other parts of iraq of terrorism, which they excel at. The Prime MinisterHaider Alabadi, went on Iraqi Television announcing the beginning of that operation to retake western mosul. Translator we are announcing a new phase to liberate the right side of mosul city as we have other areas. We call on our brave troop toss liberate the rest of the city and to liberate people from the oppression and terrorism of daesh. The Iraqi Military says that at the moment they are approaching western mosul from four axes, basically from the south and the southwest. Their immediate goal is to retake control of monsul and th military base in the southern part of the city. This is going to be a long and difficult operation. There are anywhere between 650 and 800 civilians in the city. They have already been living under very difficult circumstances with dwindling supplies of food. Only about 40 of the population has access to safe drinking water. They are running low on medicine as well as cooking oil and fuel oil as well. The Iraqi Air Force overnight dropped millions of leaflets calling on isis supporters or members to lay down their weapons and surrender and warning the civilian population to stay inside their homes to put white flags outside their home to homes to indicate civilians are inside. Keeping in mind it took well over three months to take the eastern part of the city. So the western part, slightly smaller population, more densely compacted in the western part. It is going to be street to street, house to house fighting. It is going to be hard and it is going to be bloody. Ben, thanks so much for joining us. Coming up, another ceasefire could be just days away in eastern ukraine. We will have the details of that just ahead.

Four fled north korea the same day he was killed at kuala lumpur airport. What more do we know . Reporter four more suspects, all described as being wanted men and north korean in nationality are now being searched by police. They want to keep them in connection with what the Inspector General told me when i asked him is now a Murder Investigation for kim jong nam. The four north korea men are believed to have fled the country at the airport on the same day of the tack. We did ask him in the press conference where they flew to but he wouldnt be drawn on that. He did make clear this is now a Murder Investigation. He also described the scene at the time of the attack. He talked us through how the north korean man went to the Service Counter and told the woman that two women he could not identify sprayed his face with some kind of liquid and thats when he was taken to the medical center. George . Just briefly, has there been any sort of reaction or response from north korea . Nothing from north korea since the mentioning of these suspects you will remember late friday night, a kind of resolve true to north korean form statements from the ambassador outside the mortuary at almost midnight where he came out and condemned the authorities, procedures and said they would not accept the postmortem examination. In a very recent briefing in seoul, the ministry in south korea that deal was north korea, they held a briefing saying that, ill quote, our government thinks the one killed is kim jong nam. For sure giving a lot of the information given and seeing that the suspects are north korean nationals, we believe the north korean regime is behind this incident. Of course can the police are yet to name who they believe is behind the incident. No charges have been brought, including the four suspects currently in custody. George . I want to ask you this. It was a very curious part of this investigation. What more can you tell us about the person that thought it was a prank in this case . Reporter this was another bizarre twist in what is a complicated and intriguing murder mystery. According to the indonesian chief, one of the suspect has been named as an Indonesian Citizen and confirmed as being so. According to the police chief, he says that she says she was duped into carrying out this attack thinking it was part of a game show or a prank show just for laughs. She has done it several times for laughs and thought she was doing the same thing. In this press conference here in kuala lumpur, we did ask and other germans asked the police chief about this and woe not be drawn. He said he was not willing to disclose any information i have been go by the suspects currently in custody so far. The Indonesian Police believe this is what happened. Cnn international correspondent. Saima mohsin. Across all the details of a very mysterious investigation. Thank you so much for the reporting. The Syrian Civil War and instability in the middle east in the spotlight at a Security Summit in germany, top officials from turkey, israel and iran, have been addressing the munich security conference. Lets get more from Nic Robertson who is in munich. Nick, the u. S. President said he wants to see safe zones in syria. He wants states to pay for them. Has there been any reaction to that there . Reporter that hasnt come up in the discussion. We have heard from the Iranian Foreign minister, the Turkish Foreign minister and we have just finished hearing from the Saudi Foreign minister. You get a sense with all of these country was a new administration in the white house are sort of laying out their positions so the white house can see an if you will appealing their positions to the white house. I get the sense from the mood here and the expectations is that no one expects isis to be wiped off the map this syria this year. There certainly doesnt seem to be expectation supported by the audience at least. Thats all International Diplomats from the middle east, europe and other countries as well. The specifics of how a Syria Ceasefire might come into place really havent been discussed. Although, there is this aspiration, of course, that there are peace talks due to begin in a couple of days in geneva. Certainly, the belief here from the turkish, who were represented in the ceasefire talks that were hosted or promoted by the russians, in particular. Some progress has been made there. Everyone is saying the political track in geneva is important. No one is laying out a mp to get there. Differences of opinion and perspective are still very big. If you are looking at peace in the region and all the players have a different position, thats not conducive to a positive outcome in the shortterm. Certainly not great for the more than 6 Million People that have been displaced by this war in syria. You spoke of the peace talks that are set to begin in the coming days. What are the main sticking points right now . Reporter what would be the political future. There is broad agreement about a ceasefire but then how do you implement and who are theal plitheal allies and partners. You have the Turkish Foreign minister saying we can not abide and have kurdish elements playing a role in that. You have from an iranian perspective the support that is going to remain in power. For the opposition on the ground, that is an absolute an ma a athema for them. What is the political situation even if you can make the ceasefire stick . We heard the kurdish foreign min ser say they would stick to the u. N. Security Council Recommendation that would leave president assad out of power. Thats not something that russia, thats a dominant player, or iran, that plays a big role in syria, have actually supported. There is absolutely no indication they have conceded any ground on that. Key issues. Polls apart. We will have to
