Im a. M. Ayman mohyeldin. We begin with the latest. Yesterday outside the Millennial Hilton Hotel across from it will United Nations here in new york city, north koreans foreign minister said the United States has declared war on his country and to expect counter measures. The white house meanwhile says this is not the case. Weve not declared war on north korea. Frankly the suggestion of that is absurd. Its never appropriate for a country to shoot down another countrys aircraft over international waters. Our goal is the same. We continue to seek the peaceful denuclearization of north korea. Doing that through both the maximum and diplomatic pressures as possible at this point. National security adviser hr mcmaster is also defending the president s comments. Trumps rhetoric is driving kim jongun closer to war. We cannot completely discount that possibility. Lets go to beijing china. Janice, good to talk to you this morning. We have both china and so you recollect vowing there will be no fighting on the korean peninsula. Seems as though we are heading in that direction. We have to bear in mind that north korea has a history of accusing the u. S. Of declarations of war. Theyve done so in the past in reaction to economic sanctions, military exercises, and other measures. Theres also unfortunately a precedent for shooting down u. S. Aircraft. Theyve done so twice since the end of the korean war. What has seasoned analysts and diplomats worried right now is this constant sparring and the threat of miscalculation that it creates. South korea has been asking for a level headed response. They say accidents in the region right now could spiral out of control. It is important to note these are words. They are comments. There has been no change in posture. The u. S. Continues to use diplomatic measures as tools. The question of course is can there be a dull mad us exit. Kim jongun has weapons and wants to be a nuclear state. The u. S. Refuses to accept north korea as a nuclear state. Add in China Growing increasingly alarmed at this point, theyre saying there could be no military option that is viable and that war on the peninsula would produce no winner. Yaz min. Thank you. Meanwhile back at home, President Trump is facing criticism. The president of the United States, i hate to see him giving all platform to kim jongun. Kim jongun is a bully. I dont think hes going to ever do any of these things. Anything he does has a return address so he must know that its bad news for his people. Should he do anything, the president of the United States shouldnt be engaged in that tit for tat with someone as dreadful as he is. Comments come on the heels of la times report. Repeatedly warned him not to deliver a personal attack on kim jongun. As the insult on the u. N. Stage could irreparably escalate tensions and shut off any chance for negotiations. New overnight from the middle east. Three Israeli Border police were killed this morning about 11 miles northwest of jerusalem. Israel Police Released this photo of the fun. Were told the alleged attacker, 37yearold palestinian was also killed. Officials say he entered through an Employee Entrance and once inside he opened fire on the guards, killing three and injuring another. Puerto rico continues to reel from Hurricane Maria, President Trump decided to hone in on the islands financial problems. The president comes under fire for talking more about flags and football than the devastation in puerto rico. Last night tweeted texas and florida are doing great. Puerto rico which was already suffering from broken infrastructure and massive debt is in deep trouble. Its old electrical grid which was in terrible shape was devastated. Much of the islands was destroyed. With billions of dollars owed to the banks. Food water and medical are top priorities. Those remarks came moments after interview with Hillary Clinton aired on msnbc. He clearly doesnt want to talk about puerto rico. You know, what more than 3. 5 american citizens along with the u. S. Virgin islands not interested, doesnt say a word about it. Now fema is down there. Ive called on them to send the navy particularly the Naval Hospital ship called u. S. Comfort. I really think that would be a big help. We dont hear a word. We dont hear anybody high up in the administration. You dont hear from the Vice President or anybody else. So he doesnt think that has any political relevance and it certainly is not personally important. Meanwhile this eerie nighttime photo from space shows puerto rico before and after Hurricane Maria knocked out photo. The photo on the bottom shows the island completely in the dark. Tonight will be the seventh knight without any electricity on the island. Hear what the governor thinks about the response when he joins morning joe for a live interview later this morning. Joining now, jackie good to talk to you this morning. I know you returned from puerto rico late last night. Talk to us about what you saw. Theres really very little sense of normalcy on the ground. We were driving around the streets of old san juan. No people. Every once in a while you see pockets of people wondering around and managed to find a cell signal to call home. Some have not talked to families yet to let them know theyre okay. In terms of devastation, we landed at an airport near san juan and one hanger just completely destroyed. Large chunks of metal all over the road. Trees up ended. Some of the worst consequences are things that cant immediately be seen, the lack of water the lack of power. Coast guard officials down there helping to provide security. They told us people are stealing generators out of their neighbors backyards in the middle of the night to be able to have some power. Let me ask you about the Recovery Efforts particularly coming from capitol hill like we saw after harvey and irma. We saw Congress Come together to pass emergency funding for that relief effort. What do you think its going to take to get a similar deal for the people of puerto rico in their Recovery Efforts . Is this you think going to be an afterthought in washington. The at large representatives for puerto rico and Virgin Islands definitely expressed concern that because puerto rico is not a state, its not going to get the same attention from congress. So theyre working right now to put together a coalition of lawmakers who either have large puerto rico constituency particularly the delegations from new york and florida or people who have a personal interest in puerto rico to really be the voice for this cause on capitol hill. Senator marco rubio from florida is expected to be a part of that. Also on our trip yesterday. He said he expects congress to deal with the funding package for both hurricanes irma irma and maria later this month. Still to be seen because of the debt crisis puerto rico has been in, looking at more than just a one time bailout here. Hard to imagine 3. 5 americans not getting help they need for relief. In washington, d. C. Thank you very much. The last ditch republican effort to pass a Health Care Bill appears to have collapsed yesterday evening senator Susan Collins of maine announced her opposition to the bill. Sweeping reforms to our Health Care System and medicaid cant be done well in compressed time frame. This after senator john mccain said he opposed the process in which the reforms were being made. Senator rand paul affirmed his opposition to the substance of the bill. My opinion from the get go on this particular bill t grahamcassidy bill, its fake repeal. The end repeal would be food fight over the formula every time one party takes over. This as the Congressional Budget Office released a preliminary bill. Ten year period the legislation would reduce the deficit by 133 billion. People with comprehensive Health Insurance that covers high cost medical events would be reduced by millions. Protesters disrupted a hearing of the Senate Finance committee. Chanting against custom medicaid. Would be lower due to large reducti reductions. According to the objection. Despite the odds against them. Cosponsor Lindsey Graham said he had not given up yet. Were going to press on and its okay to sloet. Its okay to fall short if you do. Last night President Trump continued to focus blame for health cares failure on senator john mccain. Tweeting a six and a half minute compilation of the video. The many clips talking about john mccain repealing and replacing obamacare. My has he changed complete change of years of talk. Earlier slammed mccain during a radio interview. We have 52 senators. So you lose two, youre out. When i ran, i was told i would have a bill on my desk and sign it day one. What mccain has done is a tremendous slap in the face of the republican party. Thats the only reason we dont have it is because of john mccain. As the President Trumps sharp condemnation over professional athletes during the National Anthem continues, the white house is doubling down in the defense of the president s criticism. Demonstrations continued last night as Arizona Cardinals along with opponents Dallas Cowboys linked arms with teammates during the National Anthem in a show of unity. Cardinals were also joined by members of the military for the display. Ahead of the anthem, cowboys joined by the teams owner took a knee in a repeat of demonstration scene across the league just one day before. The move was met with boos from the arizona crowd. After the game jones said he believed the move was not a departure from previous comments in which he said he would not protests during the anthem. Continued to weigh in on the matter yesterday in a series of tweets. The president stated the issue has nothing to do with race. It is about respect for our country, flag and National Anthem. Nfl must respect this. Tremendous backlash against the nfl and players for disrespect of our country. Hashtag stand for our anthem. President also disputed report that chief of staff is not happy over clash with proathlete writing general john kelly totally agrees with my stance on nfl players and the fact that they should not be disrespecting or flag our great country. The white house reiterated stance over the protest. This isnt about the president being against anyone, but this is about the president and millions of americans being for something. Being for honoring or flag. Honoring or National Anthem and honoring the men and women who fought to defend it. Still generating a lot of debate across the country. Still ahead. Was it fake news. Multiple outlets are claiming irans missile test may not have actually happened. Later reported that Jared Kushner used private email for white house business. Might not be alone.

Multiple outlets reporting this morning the new Ballistic Missile iran claimed to have launched last friday was a fake. Aired this video without giving time and location saying it had successfully tested a missile with a range of 1200 miles. Multiple reports claiming the missile test never actually happened. According to fox news the video footage showed a launch that took place back in january. Saturday President Trump criticized alleged Missile Launch on twitter. News comes at a time when trump is expected to announce whether the United States will remain in the iran nuclear deal. Criticized agreement in the speech. The Supreme Court will no longer hear arguments in two cases relating to President Trumps travel ban. Decision to cancel the scheduled october 10 proceedings comes after the Trump Administration unveiled update to order on sunday signed actually just hours before the original ban was set to expire. The new order which takes affect on october 18 keeps or updates restrictions on five of the six nations included in his original order including iran, libya, somalia, syria and yemen. While lifting restrictions on one country. Sudan.
