Trump is showing few signs of compromise after big name republicans said they would not support him as their partys president ial nominee. Major garrett is in washington where trump will meet with capitol hill leaders this week. Major, good morning. Reporter good morning. The divide between donald trump and House Speaker paul ryan is not just about political tactics and temperament. There are big policy differences. And for now rank and File House Republicans hope these two can iron things out in washington later this week. But trump appears to have little appetite for change. Does the party have to be together . Does it have to be unified . Im very different from anyone else perhaps thats ever run for office. I dont think so. Reporter in the face of relentless criticism from conservatives, donald trump said he can thrive with or without them. I have to stay true to my principles, also, and im a conservative. This is called the Republican Party. Its not called the conservative party. Reporter conservatives, especially House Speaker paul ryan, are wary of his support for a ban on immigration, handsoff approach to Social Security and medicare, and acrosstheboard tax cuts trump now appears willing to revise. Do you want taxes on the wealthy to go up or down . They will go up a little bit, and they may go up but theyre going down in your plan. No, no, in my plan its going down. By the time its negotiated, its going up. Reporter ryan withheld his endorsement. I was blind sided because he spoke to me three weeks ago and it was a very nice call, a very encouraging call. Reporter one of trumps first marquee endorsers, sarah palin, said ryan miscalculated by crossing trump and vowed to push for his defeat in an upcoming august primary. His political career is over but for a miracle because he has so disrespected the will of the people. Reporter spared neither Hillary Clinton shes playing the womens card. Shes going, did you hear that donald trump raised his voice while speaking to a woman . Oh, im sorry. Im sorry. I mean, all of the men were petrified to speak to women anymore.

She also says that she wants help from republicans who do not like donald trump. For a lot of people, again, who take their vote seriously and who really see this as a crossroads kind of election, i am asking people to come join this campaign, and ive had a lot of outreach from republicans in the last days who say that they are interested in talking about that. Nancy cordes is covering the latest on clintons general election strategy. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. Polls show clinton has a big advantage among women right now and shes working to cement that advantage over the next couple of days with a series of events in virginia and kentucky focused on women and families. The clinton camp is obviously very aware of the tension between some gop leaders and donald trump right now, but so far they have avoided doing too much to highlight it because they believe the republicans are doing a good enough job of that on their own. Now in that interview with John Dickerson, clinton argued that while trump does a lot of talking, shes the one who has been listening to the American People, going out and doing these events where they do more of the talking than she does, and thats going to be a central theme of her Campaign Going forward, that she has heard what people are saying about the minimum wage, about addiction, about college affordability, and that her platt forward has been shaped by what shes heard. Now there could still be a few bumpy days left in her primary campaign. West virginia votes tomorrow and even her aides acknowledge that Bernie Sanders could do very well there, charlie. Thanks, nancy. The Washington Bureau chief of the washington journal, gerry seib joins us from washington. Good morning. Does donald trump simply have to unify the Republican Party in order to go forward and have a chance to win this election . I think at some level he has to unify the party. He has to convince the party that hes actually leading a different and better Republican Party. Thats what hes really trying to do here. Hes trying to turn the Republican Party from a party thats really run by Movement Conservatives to one thats more populist and thats a popular change as it turns out because conservatives who have shaped the party to their image and likeness for 2025 years now, have kind of figured out maybe hes not one of us. And thats a very painful transition. So i think there may be limits to how much unifying can happen. Gerry, he differs with paul ryan on almost every major issue and just yesterday after very tough questioning on the sunday shows, trump says that he supports higher taxes on the wealthy. He supports raising the minimum wage. Is he a republican . Is he a conservative . It sounds more like democratic proposals. Well, look, this is the key now. I think were past the point where the issue is Donald Trumps temperament, conservatives are worried about his policies. Paul ryan does believe in policies. They look at donald trump and say hes not with us on free trade. He has a different view of immigration. His tax plan we like but on the other hand he now basically says everything is negotiable. So is he one of us . And paul ryan really embodies that belief. And i think its interesting that paul ryan said not i wont support donald trump, he says im not ready to yet. That suggests what he wants to do this week is talk to donald trump and maybe extract some promises or at least some sense of what it is donald trump is really going to stand for on the issues that count to conservatives. And paul ryan, as i said, is the embodiment of those conservative ideas. Well, donald trump said on one of the shows yesterday that he felt a little blind sided by paul ryan. What do you think needs to happen between the two of them when they meet on thursday . For one thing you have to sort of get past this idea that maybe donald trump is going to dump paul ryan as chairman of the convention. Thats a tough thing to do. He floated that idea out there, though, gerry. I know, i know. We all thought they were headed to a raucous convention in cleveland, one that will be contested. Now were going to have a raucous convention for a totally different reason. Im not sure thats in their interest. Theres that issue. Theres the question of what do you stand for . What do you stand for on taxes, whats your position going to be, bottom line position on National Security issues. I think theres a lot of need for clarity and one of the things people have talked about is Donald Trumps need to go out, make some serious policy speeches and address these questions and nobody is going to be listening more closely than conservatives. Lets just say its never dull. Gerry seib, we thank you very much for joining us this morning. Happy to be with you. We expect to get our first on the ground look at the wildfire devastation inside a canadian city. The ft. Mcmurray fire has wiped out an area about as big as houston, texas. Fire Officials Say changing weather has given crews the upper hand there. Ben tracy is in alberta south of ft. Mcmurray where nearly 90,000 evacuees could face a long wait to go home. Ben, good morning. Reporter good morning. Police have reinforced the roadblocks here because they say somebody actually snuck in to ft. Mcmurray and tried to light their house on fire to collect insurance money. As for the firefight, well, thanks to much colder temperatures and even a couple of rain drops, firefighters say they are now making good progress. This fire has now been nicknamed the beast, and its not hard to see why. Walls of flame continue to turn trees into torches. While air tankers overhead do their best to keep up. For us this is great firefighting weather. We can really get in there and really get a handle on this fire and get a death grip on it. Reporter these fires are so large and in such rugged terrain that the firefight is mainly taking place in the sky. There are now more than 100 water dropping helicopters flying here in alberta. The fire is still expected to take months to extinguish and has shut down most of albertas vast oil production. However, it is now burning mainly in the forest and away from towns that were once in its path. In burned out ft. Mcmurray, no electricity, gas lines have been turned off, and the water is not drinkable. From above, you can see many neighborhoods have burned but many others were spared. Its like the eye of a tornado. You see devastation all around you. In the center its calm, no devastation as far as the downtown goes. Reporter the canadian government says it could be weeks or months before people are allowed to return. Im terrified of what the drive is going to be going back into ft. Mcmurray. Reporter Christine Cook fled last week as the fire tore through town this Evacuation Center and the donations from strangers are a life line for her and her two daughters. Even if this wasnt how she planned to spend mothers day. Im thankful i have my family and i have a roof over my head and i have all that i need. Reporter and some more good news to report this morning, the 25,000 people who initially fled north from ft. Mcmurray and then found themselves trapped there as the flames headed their way, they have now all been safely evacuated south of the town into shelters. Thank you to ben tracy in alberta, canada. More Severe Weather could hit parts of the great plains. Eight tornadoes in nebraska and kansas yesterday. Strong winds brought down trees. There are no reports of injuries or major damage. Take a look it at the massive tornado that tore across eastern colorado saturday. A series of twisters hurt at least five people and winds tore the roof off a middle School Gymnasium in illinois. No one was inside when the storm hit. Delta airlines has apologized to passengers aboard a jet that was forced to make an Emergency Landing after an engine cover fell off during a flight. Video appears to show the damage to the fuselage right behind the missing engine cover.

A british journalist was expelled overnight from north korea over his reporting. North koreas government accused hayes of distorting facts about the country. The bbc correspondent was interrogated before leaving the country. It comes as leader kim jongun said in a speech north korea would not use Nuclear Weapons unless provoked. Adriana diaz is in pyongyang where the First Party Congress in decades voted to boost the Nuclear Program. Adriana, good morning. Reporter good morning. The relationship between the north korean government and the Foreign Press is a complicated one. Today an already tense situation was made worse when the government expelled a reporter after taking issue with his coverage. What is it you dont like me saying . Reporter bbc correspondent rub ear correspondentfield hayes was due to depart pyongyang. According to the bbc he was interrogated for eight hours because the north korean government was not pleased with his reports on life in the capital. This is pyongyang. Pyongyang is not north korea.

He was asked to sign an apology before he and his team departed the country monday. More than 100 reporters were invited here to cover the Workers Party congress. The first of its kind in 36 years. This is the closest well get to the event we came here to cover. A look at the building across the street. But so far weve been shut out. Relegated to watching on state tv. The event has been a coronation of sorts for kim jongun, the young leader of this Rogue Nuclear state, he used the occasion to repeat a pledge not to use Nuclear Weapons unless north koreas independence is threatened. We will not use Nuclear Weapons first, he said, unless aggressive Hostile Forces use them to invade our sovereignty. He called the country a responsible nuclear state, but north korea has said it will only dismantle its arsenal when the rest of the world does the same. In the meantime, the party voted to boost the Nuclear Program in, quote, quality and quantity.
