this picture taken in march of 2016. the man circled in this photo is george papadopoulos, who pled guilty to lying about the fbi and his interactions with russians during the campaign. also in this picture, if you widen it a little bit you see the attorney general jeff sessions, who previously said he did not remember that meeting, but today. i do now recall that the march 2016 meeting at the trump hotel and mr. papadopoulos attended, but have no clear recollection of the details of what he said at that meeting. in all of my testimony i can only do my best to answer your questions as i understand them and to the best of my memory. martha: chief national correspondent ed henry live at the white house with the back story on today s big hearing. it also included some brand-new details about the clintons. great to see you today. accusations that i have ever lied. that is a lie. let me be clear, i have at all times conducted myself honorably and in a manner consistent with the high standards and responsibilities of the office of attorney general, which i revere. this is a big deal, sessions also revealed in this testimony today that he now has 27 open investigations into the leaks of classified information. if that will be music to the ears of the president and his advisors as well, we are now up and talk about what they call the deep state, damaging leaks that they think i ve undermined this white house. martha. martha: thank you very much. joining me now for an expletive interview, one of the congressman inside that hearing today. congressman trey gowdy. good evening, good to have you with us tonight. yes, ma am, thank you. martha: we heard a lot in there today, and one of the things that jeff sessions was trying to do was make it very clear that he felt he played no improper role whatsoever during the campaign. at one point he was grilled about whether or not he had met with the russian ambassador. he said i never said that i had never met a russian, i said that there was never any intention to collude or to have any kind of relationship with regards to the campaign. do you think he persuaded the committee on that today? i don t think you persuaded the committee, because i don t think the committee is very open minded. i think his audience was the american people, and i think they understand sometimes it s hard to recall the details of conversations from 12 months ag ago. ironically, in every court room across the country we have this concept called a refresh recollection where the witness forgot something and then the lawyer will hand them a document or a photo that refreshes their recollection. we don t do that in congress. we want to play got you, and if you don t remember a room that you were in 12 months ago or person you met outside of a restaurant, we think we have a perjury case. i don t think anybody s mind was changed because i don t think anybody want with an open mind. martha: in terms of the issue, the president has said that he would like the justice department to be more open-minded to reopening some of the investigations with regards to hillary clinton and with regard to uranium one in particular. here s an exchange with your colleague, mr. jordan, congressman jordan on the issue of appointing a special counsel with that in mind. watch this. what s it going to take to actually get a special counsel? it would take a factual basis that meets a standard of the appointment of a special counsel. we know one fact, we know the clinton campaign and the national committee paid through the law firm for the dossier. we know that happened and it sure looks like the fbi was paying the author of that document. doesn t that warrant naming a second special counsel, as 20 members of this committee wrote you asking you to do? martha: congressman, do you think we will see a special counsel appointed by attorney general sessions based on what you heard today? i don t know, but i did like his answer, which is we will follow the facts wherever they go. robert mueller, it is within his jurisdiction to look at all of russians efforts to influence the election, and that might possibly include finding a dossier. i think general sessions broader point is we don t need a special counsel for every fact pattern. you do have a department of justice with women and men who have dedicated their careers to the enforcement of the law, and you have 94 u.s. attorneys offices, so i love jimmy jordan, and he is a three-time wrestling champion, so i don t like disagreeing with him, and he is a very good friend, but what i would say to jimmy and all my other friends is special counsel is when there s a conflict of interest with the department of justice are all 94 u.s. attorneys. i think we all think factual predicate should be investigated if there s a basis to do so. whether that is done by special enough to process all of those if s. martha: one quick session on tax reform, which we just spoke with speaker ryan. what you think about the senate proposal to include the repeal of obamacare or the individual mandate as part of their tax reform bill? i think i agree with everything paul ryan just told you and i want to congratulate you on having a fantastic town hall with the most knowledgeable member of the house. i m going to eat dinner with tim scott, my friend in the senate and helped draft the senate version and i will get him to explain to me why they included that in there. i think paul s point was well taken, at least by me. we will keep that separate from what we do on the house side, but there s a reason we go to conference, and if it s in the house bill, not the senate bill, we will resolve all of that in the conference committee. martha: paul ryan said complement trey gowdy on his gordon gecko looked tonight. i m sure he did. [laughs] i m quite sure he did. martha: just thought we would pass that along. it congressman trey gowdy, thank you very much. good to see her tonight. also breaking this evening, the tax reform budget we ve been talking about is heating up on capitol hill as a new amendment to add an obamacare repeal to the senate version has halted negotiations. we will talk about that coming up. also, several big developers right now in the roy moore scandal as we await him to take the stage at a campaign event in alabama. the rnc just a short while ago has told their funding for the alabama senate candidate as the calls continue to grow for him to step aside. karl rove weighs in next with the story right after this. when you re close to the people you love, does psoriasis ever get in the way of a touching moment? if you have moderate to severe psoriasis, you can embrace the chance of completely clear skin with taltz. taltz is proven to give you a chance at completely clear skin. with taltz, up to 90% of patients had a significant improvement of their psoriasis plaques. in fact, 4 out of 10 even achieved completely clear skin. do not use if you are allergic to taltz. before starting you should be checked for tuberculosis. taltz may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. tell your doctor if you are being treated for an infection or have symptoms. or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. inflammatory bowel disease can happen with taltz. including worsening of symptoms. serious allergic reactions can occur. now s your chance at completely clear skin. just ask your doctor about taltz. nominee roy moore to step aside in the wake of several sexual abuse allegations. moore, who was about to take the stage at a campaign event firing back a short time ago on twitter saying this. alabamians will not be fooled by this. #insighthitchjob. mitch mcconnell s days as majority leader are coming to an end very soon. at this point has just begun. and within the last few hours in a somewhat historic move, the rnc pulled out of a joint fund-raising agreement that it had with moore. here now, karl rove, former senior advisor to george w. bush and a fox news contributor. i don t think i can hear you, but i think you may be able to hear me. tell me a little bit about what you think about the latest developments here with roy moore and whether or not you think that he s going to hang in there. it let me just operating it one more thing. let s put this up on the screen. this is the internal campaign email for anyone who thinks that they are backing down, this is a strong message. team, we are in an epic standoff and we need to know more than ever. at the liberal media and the democrats are intent on hijacking the seat of jeff sessions on december 12th, and they have found unlikely allies with the republican establishment. i will check my audio and you tell people your reaction to that. i m on the email list, so i get several of these messages a day, and it is pretty clear he s digging in his heels. here are the options, and none of them are good. the first one is the governor could change the date of the election. governor ivey has said she has no inclination to do that. roy moore could withdraw and the republicans could unite around one person. there were two steps to this. roy moore has said he s not resigning and it would be hard to get people to agree on a unified choice. roy moore could stay in and then the republicans could conduct a write-in campaign, but that would tend to split the republican vote, and even in this heavily republican state, it s enough to guarantee the democrat wins. moore could win back the election and be expelled by two-thirds of the senate, and then a second special election could be held, probably in conjunction with the 2018 general election and in the meantime the governor, governor ivey would appoint a successor to sit in the seat as a placeholder. or moore could lose. let me tell you, that s a real possibility even though this is a very republican state. in the last two decades the average republican statewide candidate has carried alabama for more than 20 points. there have been some exceptions, and one of them was roy moore in 2012 when he got elected to the supreme court by a margin of a think about six points. take a look at this. this shows what s happening. last three weeks of tv, this is both campaigns, the jones campaign, the democrat campaign started advertising three weeks ago, they spent $1.4 million in one week. last week $700,000. this week, $700,000. moore was nowhere to be seen on the television the first week, last week $65,000. this week $65,000. he is being out spend by $2.8 million to $130,000. all those big donors that steve bannon promised would be in his corner apparently haven t materialized. martha: it s a great point. now he s got the rnc not backing him anymore. we know the national senate committee is not backing him anymore, cory gardner pulled the plug on that almost immediately. is there an option on your whiteboard that you think is the most likely? do you have a luther strange write-in? we know the president, mitch mcconnell spoke about this earlier today. what s the scenario that you see that you think might work? look, i doubt there would be a luther strange write-in. he got beat in the primary and there will be a lot of hard feelings left over from that, and he might get more votes than he got last time around, but it would still be the 400 some out thousand votes cast in the republican primary split two different ways. if roy moore does not step aside and say i am withdrawing from this race and i encourage all of my voters supporters to back this one candidate, jeff sessions or congressman robert at her hold, or former governor bob riley martha: let me jump in, you really think that jeff sessions is going to come back and run for the senate seat? no. i ve known him since college days. what he said today that he reveres the office of attorney general, he does. he was the attorney general of alabama, he thoroughly enjoyed the job and did a terrific job. this is the honor of a lifetime for him to be the attorney general of the united states, i can t see him going back. martha: when he talked about revering that job in that department, i thought there s no way that this is something that he will want to do to take it for the team. he wants to stay right where he is. quick thought on steve bannon and the reflection on him if there is one as a result of this roy moore story. this is the candidate that he blessed, but it is typical of the candidate that he has chosen. think about the first candidate for the u.s. house of representatives, michael, former member of congress from staten island. he just got out of the federal penitentiary for tax fraud, not the first person steve bannon says martha: he says it wasn t his fault! he was wrongly accused! exactly right. sent to jail, but i would like to see him make that argument on the campaign trail. the first candidate for governor who steve bannon picks is tom, the disgraced former republican congressman from colorado who last year was protested the cancellation of the hotel reservations for whites premises meeting. he doesn t have good luck in picking candidates. martha: thank you very much. good to see you tonight, as always. you bet, thank you. martha: breaking news tonight on capitol hill, a new plan to add the obamacare repeal. at the individual mandate would be gone under the tax reform deal. does it put that in jeopardy? we will break down the tracks from town hall with house speaker paul ryan with campaign insiders marc theissen and robert shapiro, who have a lot to say on this, they will tell you what you should think about what you heard in there when we come back with more of the the story. no, thanks , santa, i got this. looks a little tight. perfect fit. santa needs an f-150. that s ford, america s best selling brand. hurry in today for 0% financing for 72 months across the full line of ford cars, trucks and suvs! and just announced. get 0 % apr for 72 months plus $1000 cash back! take advantage of these exclusive holiday offers during the ford year end sales event. this this this is my body of proof. proof of less joint pain and clearer skin. this is my body of proof that i can take on psoriatic arthritis with humira. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to both joint and skin symptoms. it s proven to help relieve pain, stop further joint damage, and clear skin in many adults. humira is the #1 prescribed biologic for psoriatic arthritis. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you ve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you ve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don t start humira if you have an infection. want more proof? ask your rheumatologist about humira. what s your body of proof? this tax bill for the average taxpayer in every income group gets a tax cut. with this plan, 90% of americans will be able to use the standard deduction. if you think that your taxes i will bring up couple props out, literally on a postcard. when you tax your business is that much, much higher tax rates, then your foreign competitors tax theirs, then you lose. we are losing jobs, losing companies, losing headquarters, or foreign companies are buying the u.s. companies. we have to get tax rates down on our business is because we are losing global competition and especially small businesses. that s where jobs come from. but doubling standard deduction that basically says 9 out of 10 taxpayers don t have to use itemized deductions, they can just take the standard deduction and they get lower taxes. but we are basically saying is get rid of the loopholes and giving the money in the first place. let people keep more of their own tax dollars in the first place. it takes less money out of your pocket, your paycheck to begin with, and then you decide what you want to do with your money. martha: that was i am just a short time ago on our tax reform town hall here in virginia. if the house is expected to vote on their plan on thursday, but there is a hick up tonight in the senate version as a push to include an obamacare repeal of the individual mandate is put into the senate side bill. how is that going to be receive received? marc theissen and fox news contributor joins us. robert shapiro, welcome. great to have both of you with us. mark, i pressed speaker ryan on the issue that some people s taxes will go up, and he basically swears up and down that that is absolutely not the case, that the numbers that we have looked at will not force anybody s taxes to go up. what do you say? first of all, he was very interesting link which, he did a great job tonight. i thought he did a fantastic job of laying out the principles behind this tax reform, which aren t that you should keep more of your money in the first place, rather than sending it to washington and letting them give you back if used do certain things the government wants. we need to get the economy moving, we had to stop punishing countries and pushing them overseas. why are we taxing small businesses that are struggling higher than corporate taxes even? i think you did a great job of selling his plan. the problem he faced for all those people when you asked her audience how many of you think your taxes are going to go up and a lot of hands went up. at least the first time a lot of fans went up. martha: they got shy, they didn t want to ask the question. this is a big problem for republicans of people think their taxes will go up under this bill. when i worked for george w. bush when he was pushing the bush tax cut in every american will get a tax cut. pauline couldn t say that tonight. he said the average american in every income bracket will go down, but that means some of them will go up. no one in america should ever be able to utter the words republicans raise my taxes. martha: robert shapiro, what you think about the bill as it looks now? the fact is this is a $5.8 trillion in tax cuts and $4.3 trillion in tax increases. when you are dealing with numbers like that you have a lot of winners and you have a lot of losers. and that s what the joint tax committee has said, that s what the tax policy center has said. that s with the institute for taxation and economic policy have said. they all agree that it looks like depending on the year between 20 and 25% of taxpayers will see a tax increase. those at the very top will see very large tax cuts, and about 60% of the country will get modest tax cuts. martha: i don t see a big tax cut at the upper end of the bracket. the senate plan cuts it to 38.5, the houseplant leaves it at 39.6. how do you see a big increase for the people at the upper end? there are several points here. one, most of the income at the very top is not labor income taxed at those rates, its capital income. in the taxation on capital income is going down. second, we have the end of the inheritance tax, which affects the top two tenths of 1% of the country. about $280 billion. martha: i m running out of time. businesses that are worth more than $10 million. martha: i have to leave it there, 20 seconds. quick response on that i have to go. i think they will pass this because the reality is if they don t pass it they are finished. staring down at the political of this tends to focus the energies
i m serious so much got a good to have you with us a u.s. president donald trump has arrived in south korea the second stop of his five country tour of asia his trip comes amid simmering tensions with north korea over its nuclear program trump has visited the main garrison of u.s. troops stationed in the country and he is later due to hold talks with south korean president moves in the visit is being seen as an attempt to present a united front against pyongyang despite differences with south korean leaders over how to do so. well north korea and the u.s. have exchanged ever stronger threats and insults but what would a potential conflict really look like. in this propaganda film war breaks out on the korean peninsula. north korean troops annihilate u.s. forces though the actual outcome of any new conflict here would likely be different there s little doubt that the carnage would be great. and then there s the north s growing nuclear arsenal relations between the two countries reached a new low this year as north korea stepped up its nuclear program five nuclear tests were followed by the detonation of a hydrogen bomb the regime is also developing long range missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads. and. tensions soared at the end of july when north korea launched a second intercontinental missile which it claimed could reach the u.s. mainland. under pressure from the united states the u.n. security council agreed to tougher sanctions on the regime. pyongyang valid to exact revenge on washington and trump ramped up the rhetoric north korea beijing is reluctant to get involved. both sides will speak and act cautiously and not do or say anything that will irritate the other in september the u.n. imposed yet another round of sanctions on north korea including caps on oil supplies washington hopes that will knock out the north s nuclear program the prospects for a diplomatic solution do not look good the escalating the north korean crisis will be the biggest challenge of donald trump s asian trip. and heartache is following the tram visit in seoul and he joins us for more. donald trump s actually indicated he might be willing to meet kim jong un at some point he talked to american network about that let s just listen to what he said. i would sit with anybody i feel i don t think it s a strength or weakness i think sitting down with people is not a bad thing so i would certainly be open to doing that but we ll see where it goes i think we re far too early so boston is a trump kim meeting really want to enter a military alliance he made it clear he said the u.s. is our ally japan is not and the reason for that is that relations between south korea and japan aren t very good and that dates all the way back to the second world war and the atrocities that the japanese army committed here in south korea and that s how korea feels the japanese haven t apologized enough for and then also south korea doesn t want to enter that military alliance and antagonize china even further when it when it knows that china doesn t like this military alliance so this is a very very difficult balancing act that president trump is attempting here because he has to get china on his side to act against north korea because china arguably has the most influence over north korea and on the other hand he s trying to forge a military alliance has not only meant to counter north korea but that in the long run it could also be meant to contain china and china s rise in the region so as you can see not an easy task for the u.s. president so we ok best in what people there where you are in seoul say you know they ve lived with the threat of north korea s nuclear program. longways missiles for decades and what do they think of the us president. people here are very divided there are those who welcome the u.s. president and they welcome his tough approach and his tough rhetoric towards north korea because they say that s the only language that north korea understands and then there are others who say that only makes everything worse deploying more troops deploying more military equipment in south korea just makes the situation more tense and therefore more dangerous especially of course for south korea and then so there are today to protest rallies that that authorities here have allowed just there behind me around the corner we can t see it one is pro u.s. and the other is against the u.s. and against trump s visit so you can see the atmosphere here a lot more divided and a lot more tense than it was on the president s previous stop in japan so he did his best in heartache of covering donald trump s visit to south korea thank you boston. police say the man suspected of killing twenty six people inside a texas church had been in a domestic dispute before committing the massacre devon patrick kelly s believed to have died of a self-inflicted gun wound after fleeing the scene kelly s in-laws reportedly attended the church in sutherland springs is the deadliest mass shooting in the history of texas. we write. the farsi charter always sought to bring people together by walk around segments take somebody give him whatever you may feel like the lord let him know it s good to see him in god s house the day. that this video from last month captures a service like any other it was faith family and friends until this sunday when a gunman came intent on killing among the many victims. we had a long night with our. babies we have left the pastas fourteen year old daughter our church was not comprised of members or parishioners we were a very close family we ate together we laugh together we cried together and we worship together. now most of our church family is gone. our building is probably beyond repair. and the few of us that are left behind lost tragically yesterday. the suspect is devon patrick kelly a twenty six year old with a history of violence he was discharged from the u.s. air force for beating his family he was chased out of town by residents before turning the gun on himself. amid the hatred of this tragedy are tales of heroism. that saw the fire fight between. the shooter and the church and the neighbor a resident here in town. after the fire fighting the shooter took off in a neighbor came over jumped in my truck and said he just shot at the church and said we had to get him i said let s go and that s what we did it s official say the gunman may have been targeting his in-laws. but we can tell you that there was a domestic situation going on within this family. the suspect mother in law attended this church we know that he had made threaten threatening a. threatening text from him. almost a tenth of the population of this town was killed on sunday in tiny southern springs they re holding each other that little bit closer. and michael is in sutherland springs he joins us on the line michael as we saw in the report this is such a small community that is trying to come to terms with what happened what have people been saying to you. well people are really still in shock after this tragedy happened yesterday i spoke with several people and they all said they don t really know how this could happen in such a small and tight community so that when springs is to one no one eighty year old resident to us left all his life you said this is unreal the chance to find words to describe this. and they re still trying struggling hard to to make sense is this you know the shooter as we mentioned has been named as the twenty six year old devon patrick kelly he lived near a sutherland springs we don t know that much more about his motive at this point but we have heard that he had mental health issues he was sort of the air force so how was he able to purchase weapons. well at apparently he he he she wasn t actually supposed to buy. supposed to be able to buy a weapon because he had he had been. sent to prison by the by the air force for force for abusing his his family. he received a twelve months. and said this and that sort of reparative from buying a gun but apparently the air force didn t enter this into the national system and that s why he he could have bought those guns because this this didn t come up when he tried to purchase these weapons. these michel s may go with the latest on the investigation there in sutherland springs michael thank you very much now to some other stories making news around the world saudi arabia has accused lebanon of declaring war against it because of aggression by the iran backed lebanese shiite

what are world leaders willing to do about it we ll go live to the u.n. climate summit in vaughan. but first monikers here with more on the fallout from the pair paradise papers will be what a world leader is going to do about those tax holes tax loops and tax havens well he ll finance ministers continue their two day meeting today in brussels top of the list of course is how to react to the latest data legal financial documents that reveal how the world s rich and powerful hide their money in offshore accounts i did many cases they do so perfectly legally and this is in this way trillions of euros lost to the state in taxes the e.u. had long plans to crack down on tax havens but not everyone is on board because offering tax breaks is the lucrative business. when it comes to tax dodging nike ticks all the boxes the paradise papers have shown a light on a complex network that helps the sportswear giant issue taxes in europe. among its strategies over the years she fighting money out of its european headquarters in the netherlands to bermuda where it paid zero tax the revelations have prompted potentially awkward questions about why storage fees didn t crack down on the practice. it s important to take action on tax evasion but i still need to examine the exact details in the document. the leaks have sparked some soul searching among e.u. leaders too as they face the fact that multinationals on the super rich have been able to avoid paying vast quantities of tax in europe without even breaking the law in paradise but paradise papers as i ve understood it focus heavily on legal structures that facilitates tax evasion that means we need to tackle it and we intend to do so. sharp words but will they be matched with action the european commission estimates that the bloc could be losing up to a trillion euros a year to tax dodging failure to act could therefore prove a cost too high to bear. well apple starbucks a host of american multinationals are also part of the paradise paper s revelations when gold a german member of the european parliament has been pressing to close tax loopholes and we asked him if naming and shaming is effective and if even care. no clearly it s not enough but it s not the job of consumers to control transnational companies it s the job of democratic politics to take control of the globalization process so what europe has to do is we need minimum tax rates and we need common tax rules and full text transparency in order to fight that feeling that tax law is only for the small people while transnational business can avoid responsibility. german member of the european parliament now a grocery store on the outskirts of london is giving customers the finger that is giving them the option of using finger scanning

later america s nasa wants to send humans again back to the moon with a new orion spacecraft and europe s group is part of it its defense and space division is currently busy finishing assembling the orion service module which is vital to the success of the mission. these brownout he subscripts may not look very impressive but they re indispensable the wafer thin thermal membrane to protect delicate components like sensors from extreme temperatures in space. you know hours of painstaking work technicians apply over twenty thousand individual strips to the for me to hi module. the strictly sequenced work is done under a clean room conditions initial testing is due within a few days. for me. personally it s the most exciting phase of the program because we re off the drawing board and on to the hardware breathing life into the vehicle as soon as we finish the integration will transition to the respective test phase. the module is a component of the arayan spaceship seen here in a computer simulation effectively its energy supply. its main features are its four special fuel tanks which can carry as much as nine tons of rocket fuel. arayan operates in conditions where temperatures can be as low as minus two hundred thirty degrees. is extreme could if we encounter this extreme temperature drop when the spacecraft is in high elliptical orbit behind the moon when it s innocence shadows and they help us to maintain the feel of a constant temperature so that we corresponding it always in a position to supply the engines with feel the logs and get them started inspiration that employs right type stuff to for. nasa enlisted the europeans for the project five years ago the first time ever to help construct a u.s. space capsule. atlas plans to deliver the module to be americans in early summer twenty eighteen fulfilling a key role in a moment like project. absolutely critical strike knowledge of supply and energy supply and supplies for the astronauts absolutely critical elements out there especially important. that s going to be using them in without nurse it basically would have been possible for nasa to accomplish this mission as it is in the east and the supply module costs three hundred ninety million euros and the two hundred people who built it can look forward to even more work naza has already placed the order for its successor. to think what we can achieve with technology sumi we should be able to tackle climate change too you would think so monica and that s exactly what more than twenty thousand delegates are trying to do right now they re meeting to try to implement the paris climate agreement in the german city of bonn now a u.s. official says america will continue to take part in these talks taking place in bonn that is the spike the fact that donald trump announced in june he would pull the u.s. out of the pact if he could not get a better deal or representatives from more than one hundred ninety countries are trying to hammer out the details of the paris climate agreement of the next two weeks and much is at stake. instead of taking their seats in class they re taking to the streets these youths staged a demonstration near the climate conference center and bone. they want the global community to limit greenhouse gas emissions. conference participants say the paris climate agreement of twenty fifteen was a step in the right direction countries have national climate targets now but they have to be solidified. this is an urgent moment and so i expect delegations to come here ready to do their jobs to get the rules set for paris and make progress but also individually to say what they re ready to do more. there s a south pacific ambience involved island nations threatened with submersion amid rising sea levels are getting special attention at the climate conference the targets set out in the paris agreement don t go far enough to prevent the impact of a climate disaster. in paris it was clear that our efforts would not go far enough it s also part of this agreement that we keep checking to see what we can do better . it s doubtful whether that will happen in bonn meeting the paris climate targets will require much more work but everyone here is aware that the pacific islands are quickly running out of time and database crista first brigade is following the day s action for us in bonn hi christopher the un is warning that two thousand and seventeen will be one of the hottest years on record so we re two thousand and fifteen and two thousand and sixteen has that added urgency to these talks. yes sumi it has added. to this talks but i hasten to add this is just one of many warnings that climate scientists have been making. in recent weeks in recent months in recent years i think another source of urgency at these talks these climate talks in bonn is coming from the fact that fiji is presiding over these talks the first small island nation to do so fiji of course one of the worst affected countries already by climate change the first ever country worldwide to have to relocate an entire village due to rising sea levels and we had yesterday a very forceful appeal for collective action from fiji s prime minister frank bainimarama he said our world is in distress there is no time to waste the need for urgency is obvious so the need for urgency is obvious in the world is though still headed for a three degree temperature rise by the end of the century according to the un so how bad the scientists think the effects of climate change would be in that case. well many scientists talk about what they call catastrophic climate change and with a three degree celsius rise in global temperatures that is almost certainly where we d be heading one of the interesting things is that scientists have been able to observe since the one nine hundred sixty s. half a degree. in the rise of well temperatures and looking at the impacts of climate change and of that rise in temperatures i say just half a degree and what they ve seen is that there s been a substantial increase in what they call extreme weather events we ve seen just this year a devastating hurricane season in the caribbean we ve seen droughts in eastern africa and southern africa we ve seen heavy flooding in south asia all of this claiming thousands of lives causing billions in economic costs and as i say that s just with harford degree. celsius in rise in the rise of global temperatures so what s it going to be with three degrees i think you can expect a double triple perhaps a core drupal. increase in the impact of that kind of climate change christopher just very briefly if you can taking all that into account of their many pledges so far to limit emissions beyond what was pledged in paris. we re not expecting any fresh pledges at these climate talks next year there s going to be a global stocktaking process where countries that are part of the paris agreement will be reporting their progress in cutting emissions the question then will be is that enough the answer will be almost certainly no it isn t and that s when those emissions pledges will have to become far more ambitious years christoffersen bring great reporting from the un climate talks in bonn thank you christopher. you re welcome just a bit of sports now in football one of the all time greats is

story topic each week on instagram. welcome back you re watching news our top stories u.s. president donald trump is in south korea where he is due to hold talks with president moon j.n. the white house has said trump s visit is meant to reinforce his hardline approach to north korea s nuclear threat. and more than one hundred ninety nations are meeting in the german city of bone to try to implement the paris climate agreement a u.s. official says america will continue to take part in the talks despite president trump s threat to exit the pact if you couldn t get a better deal. well it is a day two of those talks in bonn in the landmark paris treaty the delegates are trying to move forward aims to keep climate change manageable by limiting global warming but many places are already seeing the effects of rising temperatures among them the u.s. state of alaska where glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. the juno ice field in alaska is the fifth largest in the world. spending almost four thousand square kilometers the landscape here seems made for eternity. but iran hood knows better the ice is melting. the scientist works on the mendenhall glacier and his measuring equipment has revealed that the ice is shrinking while most ten meters a year. but distant washington is not interested in whose research in fact president trump intends to cut funding for climate research by billions here and whose work is under threat when they start to cut funding for earth science that s going to have a big impact on our ability to study you know things like this flood that s going on here and to study the changes that we see in mendenhall in the juno ice field and so that s really where the big impact is going to come. the scientist says that trump is not only hindering his research work the president has also managed to convince many americans that climate change is a myth they re convinced that donald trump can come in and cut back on regulations cut back on climate change research and that s going to somehow stimulate the economy and you know that s very convincing to people that are who you know need jobs and need to support their families. but there s no denying the impact of these images between two thousand and seven and twenty fifteen the mendenhall glacier retreated by five hundred fifty meters. a few with two different colors of water. the lighter left side is the melted ice field water. is one of the big outlet glaciers from the ice field and the projection now is that by the end of the century about two thirds of the ice field here the g. and i s fields will and disappeared and so it s really important for us to understand how this water that s coming from the glacier is influencing the productivity in marine ecosystems. ecosystems to which creatures like these humpback whales belong. they live on plankton in krill. in groups they combine their efforts and build a net of air bubbles which they use to confuse and trap their prey. it s called bubble net feeding. bob jones offers boat trips for researchers and nature lovers he believes that climate change is unsettling the whales. are seeing changes with the in the food chain if the food chain is changed due to warming the water there we re going to see changes in the whale we re not we re not we re perfect place to research for this right now i mean this is a great place for whale watching but what s really important with climate change on the horizon and what we know and what we re learning about it we re going to for we re going to see more and more research being necessary. jayne s is furious that trump has described climate change as an invention of the chinese and put a climate change skeptic in charge of the u.s. environmental protection agency i feel it s it s a shame that our administration and our president has the nih the climate or at least put it in the background if it is personally at the st nicholas sad end and something that if we as american u.s. citizens should be ashamed. bob says. that scientists like me are and should also have presented their research better then the president wouldn t have been able to spread seeds of doubt you know. the entrepreneur though has a solution in the form of donations from wealthy citizens to secure future research funding and the results could become reality here. the industrial waste land in alaska s capital juneau is set to house a new ocean center a mix of multi-media museum and meeting place for citizens and scientists. and one scientist is already keen to use it as a safe house for his research out of reach of the trump government climate change that he s had already disappeared from the e.p.a. s website. of the federal government as far as you know what i m what i m seeing and reading and what i ve heard from my colleagues and scientists. were very very concerned about data sets and information that s not being collected i mean not not even to talk about perhaps what s being done with the existing data sets. he intends to keep a close eye on the data in the future. we re back at the mendenhall glacier. we ve met up with a researcher you re in hood again he s keen to show us how climate change is becoming a threat to residents of juneau city it all fell way up and then as it floods in a nice will settle back down into the basin so essentially it s kind of like a giant bathtub that s filling up with melt water from the suicide glacier there and then draining out under the mendenhall so there s flooding on some streets they have to close some there is a visitor center that to turn off the power in some areas. here in alaska it s impossible to overlook the effects of climate change. and yet here in hood still has so much to do to make his fellow americans really understand what his research on melting ice means for their futures. for more on the effects of a global more warming we re joined by climate researcher carl friedrich slicer from climate analytics at the nonprofit climate policy institute and he is in bonn for the u.n. meeting mr slicer thank you very much for joining us we saw in that report how a lot of americans believe that climate change is a hoax and that scientific findings haven t really been able to convince everyone that it is manmade so how clear is the evidence really the evidence and climate change that it s manmade is absolutely clear is on every vocal that humans are causing this chain change and we see it all over the globe the sea ice sheets melting the sea marine heat of a sea of unprecedented scale you see extreme events occurring that we have never had before the evidence is the evidence base for this statement is absolutely clear and there s no doubt from a scientific perspective on that so it s unequivocal you re saying and the u.n. is also reporting that two thousand and seventeen is on course to be one of the three hottest years on record it s also been a year of extreme weather as we ve seen across the world the argument that climate skeptics present is that these are naturally occurring cycles is there a clear link between global warming and what we re experiencing is like for example heat waves or wildfires direct link between man made climate change and these events occurrences is very clear and we see very high percentages of these events occurring just because of manmade climate change other events like for example tropical cyclones would also occur naturally but the impacts of climate change make them much more devastating as we see stronger hurricanes they are amplified that comes with more rain heavier flats and sea level rise makes to coastal flooding potential much more severe so talking about those the devastating impacts they have forecasters in bonn say we actually have already admitted so much carbon that the world is on track for fifty more years of warning let s listen to what the head of the world meteorological agency had to say on that. these negative trend is expected to continue for the coming coming fifty years anyhow so that means growing amount of the sauce there s a growing amount of comfortable recourse. that is a dire warning mr slawson or of fifty more years of a warming how bad will things get well it strongly depends on our action now because obviously warming isn t equal to warming so if we continue to emit at the scale of it currently and we ll see a warming of several degrees of it it s time for and it s just been described whereas if you take an action that is needed we ll be able to bend the curve and actually end the woman by that time so we ll be able to greatly limit the destructive potential of climate change and basically limit warming levels to what we agreed to in paris how much time is really left for that origin to action you re discussing we definitely need urgent action over the next recent years but we also in the in the middle of an energy revolution so we see change happening on the ground we can even say to paris agreement has unleashed the potential of entertainers and countries and investment funds and we have had to really move into the renewable domain and we see a mess of change there so i m pretty optimistic that it can be done obviously other other fighters other. players in the political the main and currently u.s. and mr asian are pushing back against that so the jury is let out there if you are we able to manage that we see no glaciers and polar ice melting as we saw there in a report in ocean levels rising and it is clear that low lying islands like fiji for example would be the first victims of global warming what parts of the world do you think are going to be next to be so severely impacted by climate change. well we see impacts of climate change basically everywhere these heard about the arctic we have seen a melting ice the learn from rain forest nations fear for their livelihoods and for their forest survivals we see an unprecedented he d raise in europe extreme events in the us flooding in china extreme and soon in south asia so i don t really think there s any region in the world that spared by climate impacts and so we all the same boat or the same canoe as if you jian prime minister said yesterday all right a call to action there for the delegates at the un climate summit in bonn karl predicts slicer researcher with climate analytics thank you very much for joining us on our program thank you. now it has been one year since donald trump won the us presidency and today voters are going to the polls in the state of virginia in a closely watched governor s race now virginia is an east coast state that s located just south of the capital washington d.c. it is almost evenly divided between democrats and republicans donald trump narrowly lost virginia to hillary clinton so what can the virginia governor s race tell us about the state of u.s. politics since trump took office debby s washington correspondent alex hunter from naaman went to find out. this is the most important governor s election inone let s turn it over really yes everywhere meet at kill us be a republican loyalist and lobbyist who wants to become virginius next governor we ve got a secular growth and job creation and wage growth for junior should be first in the country and we can do the right policy economy education health care issues that matter in this race is key challenge however has been to maintain a distance from donald trump the president deeply unpopular in urban areas of the state without offending trump s core supporters in the rural parts he will speak their votes to get elected. i am perfectly satisfied with the president i think his appointments have been very very good he says things that i wouldn t necessarily have say but what he s accomplishing is very it s very good. i m happy with his policies and i wish he were. stayed away from a cellphone. meanwhile democrats in virginia are trying to energize their base by associating gillis be with the president and his rhetoric activists showed up at this event with this giant chicken. ed gillespie is too chicken to stand up to donald trump from health care to the muslim ban to tax cuts for the rich. right away and. the democratic candidate ralph northam currently serves as lieutenant governor in virginia his in favor of stricter gun control and abortion rights and also on and he supporters hope to use this election to send a message to their voters don t approve of what s going on in washington with my opponent says he has such a great relationship with the president why in a president here in virginia campaigning for him so you know that looks to me like there s some disarray in their party our party is united. but the gym is going around the advice of states between its democratic leaning and its southern more rural areas which tends to vote republican it s. become pains were nasty with accusations flying back and forth and the race is still too close to call it s. the main focus for both parties now is to make sure their base shows up. and we re seeing how we go out and vote excuse you know please vote democratic for example take a look thank you so much good for your support thank you the genius being watched as a test for whether the democrats can convert anger at strom into a victory at the ballot box. now to an adverse events that changed the world on this day one hundred years ago bolshevik revolutionaries seized power in russia one of the defining moments of the twentieth century the bolshevik takeover of nov seventh one nine hundred seventeen was masterminded by ilya choi young of know as lenin the communist party leader began preparing for revolution during his years in exile in western europe the russian monarchy was eventually replaced by the soviet union but lennon s vision of a classless society soon gave way to a totalitarian state one hundred years later what is the legacy of the communist dream that is the focus of a new series starting today on news of the first episode looks at the legacy lennon left behind. the spirit of lennon flooders with the communist flags in a park in st petersburg a dozen young men and women are celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of the october revolution paying tribute to an era they ve only read about they d like to turn back the clock. the absence of the soviet union is only temporary the russian tricolor won t be for long communist facts will fly again. even though our country has taken a giant step backward i m sure the triumph of socialism. that s our country s only future. that s exactly what russian revolutionaries thought when they stormed the winter palace in st petersburg one hundred years ago they proclaimed a new world of socialism with their leader vladimir lenin. seventy four years later the soviet union collapsed lennon s personality cult became something of a sinister joke the self-styled leader of the world s working class reduced to a tourist attraction at red square. a hundred years later i say the revolution was wrong. we should have continued to live under the dark life today to be better. when a country has there should be a revolution. russian officials appear ruffled by the celebrations it s been a long time since parades were held at red square that was back when kremlin leaders addressed the masses from the tribune of the lenin mausoleum. today s kremlin officials are making sure their historical narrative prevails official historians say the october revolution centennial is a dangerous inspiration for new protests. russia needs to look at the revolution differently the tragic events that led to the breakup of our country and huge losses should serve as a lesson for the future so that something like that you never happens again. i want to bring you. a russian population united in support of the kremlin that s the leadership vision the goal is to regain imperial strength more critical historians say that s why the kremlin is uncomfortable with the october revolution anniversary . pyar as a system of government plays a hugely significant role for russian leaders today. ariel ideology will be right in their putin s platform when he runs for president next year he wants to deliver a strong russia to the russians as mutual. a strong russia is in the offing not another revolution a century later lenin s ideology is not in the kremlin inspirational playbook consolidating power certainly is. well let s bring indeed abuse moscow correspondent yury russia for more on the story. this is a big anniversary but one as we saw the russians are having a hard time coming to terms with tell us more about the complexities behind london s legacy hi sue me i think there are many reasons for this in a verse or is so difficult for russians nowadays after all of the to pollution was a radical our people and our people is something president putin doesn t want in this country today and all the reasons don t want to either since nine hundred seventeen each generation of russians has lived a cataclysmic upheaval for us that the box of evolution about talking about right now then millions of lives lost in world war two and at last to the collapse of the soviet union and to the economy with it since then for russian stability metals and people associate revolution more than anything with instability so controversial anniversary will there be any official celebrations. yes but not the big ones during the soviet period nov seventh was a public holiday and one of the biggest day to liberation simply here today however is an ordinary working day and the public holiday has been moved to the event before with which was designated national unity day a military parade on the red square will take place later today but it will commemorate not to the revolution itself but the october revolution parades held on the square in ninety four to one from which the soviet soldiers went directly to the front lines of world war two and also a communist rally will be held closed to rights could be i will be reporting live from that and it s cold outside but i m already well prepared for it fred that s very important yuri no even in russia lenin as we said is also seen as a contra controversial figure his legacy but his body is actually still preserved in a moderately i m right on the red square why is that and could we see that change now i don t think so there are still many elderly communists and ordinary people in this country who adorable any and who associate with humans the soviet union the country of the lost and with it to their soviet identity so today s leaders in russia understand if lenin is removed from his smell soleil and buried with his family as he actually wanted to be too many russians would be upset i always said also the russians are going to vote in presidential elections next year do you think that stirring up memories of this revolution could actually cast a shadow over that vote. well although there are some russian politicians who like to stir up conspiracy i don t think the conditions today are comparable to those one hundred years ago sunni modern russia is an open and very pluralistic society that certainly deserves a democratic president and government but once again people want stability here people are afraid of the my diet evolution in ukraine that least of the version is they are presented to me through prague and propaganda in the russian state media occasional protests in big cities organized by opposition position politician alex and of on the don t change the fact that the vast majority of russians supported their president and his name is with me. all right i did every year earshot of covering the one hundredth anniversary of the october revolution or yuri thank you and stay warm now three countries the three wine makers one wine and it s very much in the spirit of the european treaty that it shares the same name with growers from france germany and luxembourg have come together to create a wine cellar that celebrates close ties rather than old rivalries and they named their hybrid after the luxembourg town of schengen which is where the you drew up plans for a passport for a cross border travel well the result of the winemakers experiment is a fitting tribute to european unity. his great square where for decades important european treaties have been signed in the town or shang and in luxemburg henry rupert s is an eighth generation winemaker here second one is not as well known as the treaty which has its name but that could change because right across from his vineyards over the border and the german town of pale and silent other vignettes of thomas schmidt also a passionate wine maker schmidt came up with the idea of making a wine from three countries luxembourg germany and france. french wine makers rumpled pack a completed the trio his then yacht is just a few kilometers away in france three countries three winemakers one wine. and the goods of. the borders are open why should we work together and combine our experience from germany luxembourg and france that s what brought us three together we ve learnt a lot from it. or showing in corner is the wine on the label the three regions red for the german state of silent plea for luxembourg and yellow for france in the past war was waged at these borders among our grandfathers had fought in wars against each other our fathers then lived alongside each other and now we are making wine together and our children go to school together here in shanghai school and they great ultimately end up in the same bottle. as the social and it s certainly rare from a geological geographical point of view that three countries bordering each other all produce wine and that s happening here in this region in chang and transporting in europe in a glass showing just how harmonious europe can be. a reminder now of our top stories that we re following for you u.s. president donald trump is in south korea where he is due to hold talks with president moon jay in the white house has said trump s visit is meant to reinforce his hardline approach to north korea s nuclear threat and more than one hundred ninety nations are meeting in the german city of bawn to try to implement the paris i m in agreement a u.s. official says america will continue to take part in the talks despite president trump s threat to exit the pact if you could not get a better deal. and now to a german designer who s there clean lines and muted colors have earned her the nickname the queen of les jill sander for

that does it for the beat tonight. you can always find us on facebook at the the beat with ari. hardball has promised is up next. finding more, let s play hardball. good evening, i m chris mat use. san francisco, roy moore republican colleagues, a new powerful voice that has weighed in. united states attorney general and former senior senator from alabama, jeff sessions joined a number of his former colleagues in saying he has no reason to doubt the women who have accused u.s. senate candidate roy moore of sexual misconduct allegations moore denies. here s the attorney general. i took the liberty of reviewing federal crimes against children, particularly those dealing with sexual or physical abuse. as you well know, lee coughman, wendy miller, debby watson gibson and beverly young nelson, these young women have accused this individual, judge moore, who is running for a federal office, the united states senate, of child sexual activity. do you believe these young women? i am have no reason to doubt these young women. powerful statement there. yesterday another woman beverly young nelson came forward to accuse moore of sexual assaulting her when she was 16. roy moore has adamantly denied the allegation, has said he does not even know nelson. let s watch him. the people of alabama know me. they know my character. they know what i ve stood for in the political world for over 40 years. i can tell you without hesitation, which is absolutely false. i never did what she said i did. i don t even know the woman. i don t know anything about her. i don t even know where the restaurant is or was. if you look at this situation, you ll see that because i m 11 points or 10 or 11 points ahead, this race being 28 days off, this is a political maneuver. maybe they should confront each other. that would be good. anyway, as of now 15 senators are called on moore to withdraw from the race. five have withheld comment. a majority are qualified their remarks by saying the allegations are true, moore should step aside. it s too late to remove moore from the ballot, mcmcconnell told reporters he had spoken to the president and he was exploring all options. let s watch mcconnell. there s no question there s a deep concern here. roy moore should step aside. the women who have come forward are entirely credible. he s obviously not fit to be in the united states senate. and we ve looked at all the options to try to prevent that from happening. obviously this close to the election it s a very complicated matter. and i think once the president and his team get back we ll have further discussions about it. that was forboding. this comes in the wake of two explosive reports from the new yorker magazine and a.l..com which allege that quote gadsden locals say moore s predatory behavior at a mall, restaurants not a secret. the magazine and newspapers spoke to more than a dozen people who had heard for years moore had been banished from the mall. locals were troubled by roy moore s interactions with teen girls at the gadsden mall. the new yorker requested a comment from the moore campaign, the request went unanswered. msnbc spoke with an employer of that mall. there s another employer roy moore is banned, the police officer, security guard said he s banned from the mall. if you see him he didn t say he was banned. if you see him, let me know. i ll take care of it. i requestquestioned why, and the officer would not tell me. after he left, i asked my manager and he said he had been bothering the girls in the mall. and at the mall at that time was we re going to stay with jeff in our lane and we re going to talk about the issues that we continue to talk about. they re going to have to make their own judgments about roy moore. they re going to have to make their own judgments about doug jones. i m applying for a job. he s applying for a job. and that s the way people of alabama need to look at this. who would i hire to represent me in the united states senate? that was pretty smart. anyway, this evening nbc news reports that according to fec filings, the rnc has pulled out of a joint fund raising agreement. i m joined by kyle whitmore, heidi presblaw, and john raybender. political strategist. what do we make, kyle, of this tape robocalls or recorded voice, it looks to me like they re trying to start real trouble in terms of the media there. what do you make of this? yeah, this seems to be dirty trix to discredit the washington post here in alabama. it s a robodialer that news station here in alabama, wkrg is reporting about right now. it claims to be from someone named bernie bernstein, swallow that one if you can. sure. who is calling from the washington post to pay $5,000 to $7,000 to women who have claims that they re not really going to investigate, but they are going to report. and then they give an e-mail address where you can send those claims into. of course it s a bogus e-mail address. it bounces back. marty barren from the washington post put out a statement saying this is fraudulent. this is not how they do business. media throughout alabama are explaining to people, no, this is not how national media work. they do not pay for stories the way you might see tabloids do. i want everybody to listen now. we ve got the robocall. listen to this now, and everybody watching will know what game is being played here. regional prejudice, anti media prejudice, pulling out all the stops to misinform the listener to this robocall. let s listen. hi, this is bernie bernstein, i m a reporter for the washington post. i m calling to see if anyone at this address is a female 54 to 57 years old, damaging remarks for a reward of $5,000 to $7,000. we will not be fully investigating these claims, however, we will report heidi, you and i are friends long enough to watch these things. this looks like the dirtiest, sleaziest trick. new york accent, jewish name, it is so over the top or under the top. i don t know. i guess they re aiming at the lowest common denominator, a person who would buy this crap. it s so completely obvious. they are hitting all of the trigger points both of the base in terms of ethic prejudice, in there s one accuser, i thought everybody had to be cautious. five credible accusers. the tipping point for me, when roy moore said to my understanding i dated some of those teenagers when i was in my 30s, but i made sure i got the approval of their mother. to me if you re 30 and need approval from somebody s mother to date them, there s probably something wrong with that to begin with. sure, he can do that. if he believes in the jvalues, all he s doing the letting a another democrat to win this seat. he can fight this better as a non-candidate than as a candidate. this is the going to live with him the entire time if he does indeed get elected. it s only going to get worse. if he truly wants to prove he s innocent, i would strongly recommend he get off the ticket and the ballot and go defend himself. i m wondering if that s really the case. anyway, kyle, let me ask you this about this. what role does jeff sessions the attorney general, what does the fact he will not defend this guy mean to the people of alabama? two things. absolutely, two things. jeff sessions is probably the most popular public official in the state of alabama, or from the state of alabama. can t quite explain that myself, but it s true. and much of his following overlaps with much of roy moore s following. this maybe not a complete one to one comparison, but it s a significant overlap. if anyone is on the fence about believing this, they now have someone that they see, that they know, they trust, saying that, yes, they should take these allegations seriously. and you put that next to the sort of flailing about that we re seeing from the moore campaign with whether these auto dialers are from them or someone allied with them, who knows? but today kayla moore is sharing i know fake news has become a loaded term now. but she s sharing stuff on her facebook page saying that the old hickory restaurant didn t even exist and there s clearly, like, advertisements in the gadsden newspaper showing that stuff exists. it shows the desperation they re seeing. when you see someone like for alabamans to see someone like jeff sessions to give credibility to these accuser, he doesn t have reason to doubt them, that s going to impact alabamaens, especially tomorrow when there is a steering committee of the alabama state republican party that is meeting to try to figure out how to make heads or tails of this situation. heidi, what strikes me in all these accusations, they re all delivered by people who have nothing to gain except that they believe something like this should be stopped, that he should be stopped. and but the one that grabbed me was this one today about the mall, and the fact that employees of a shopping mall which had a couple high end stores in it, had a movie theater, sounds like a nice place for teenagers to hang out, as they do in most malls, this guy would be banned, so notorious in his menacing of these young girls that he would be banned. i mean, this is the fact that everybody would know, we don t let roy moore around here anymore. he wouldn t be banned from the u.s. senate, but 450he d be ban from this shopping mall. it really cuts to a new level than just horrible, felonious behavior, notoriously felonious behavior. it s like they had a neighborhood watch out on roy moore. yet he ascended to all these high positions and no one spoke out. chris, this is also a moment in which we as a nation are getting an education on the pervasiveness of sexual abuse and the temerity of any victims to ever speak out. if you talk to some of these women now being interviewed they are saying it wasn t until the other stories came out, the initial story on leigh corfman and the climate hero in, harvey weinstein hadn t, roger ailes, all these women who went before them to tell 1/3 stories that they found the strength to come out and share their storys as well. in the past, just like roy mor signed in a yearbook, many of these women did have the community to fear, that people wouldn t believe them, and that there would be a backlash, and counterattacks, dirty campaign to tarnish their reputations. to your point, nothing at all to gain. house speaker paul ryan emerged, he urged moore to end his campaign. and jeff flake would vote to expel moore if he got in there. he should step aside. number one, these allegations are credible. number two, he should if he cares about the values and the people he claims to care about, he should step aside. if roy moore wins would you be open to voting to expel him? yes, i would. john, you re the political guy. what do you make of this election? i want to be honest, put all the factors in play here. one reason moore people think they can pull this out besides their lead so far in the polls is the abortion rights issue, very strong and culturally conservative evangelical state. they go after moore is reminding everybody that doug jones is pro-choice, for abortion rights. can that turn this election? yeah, i mean, it s that values question. it s a good question, does being pro-choice trump somebody who has a completely different problem that a lot of people would find the seriousness about that as well. we may find that out on election day. republicans from leadership on down have been united behind condemning the behavior and standing up for the credibility of the women that have come forward. that s helpful for the republican brand to show they are not going to worry more about this election than they are about what s right and wrong. i think it was the right thing to do. well said, john. i also think it s interesting that doug jones, the democratic candidate down there for senate is pushing the issue of a job application. it s not a judgment over values or even party identity, who do you want to employ as your u.s. senator? it s obviously the best chance he has to make that the issue, the who, not the what. kyle whitmire, thank you. attorney general jeff sessions says he wasn t lying when he testified he didn t know anyone in the trump campaign who had contact with the russians. he just didn t remember. why did he remember shooting down george pop ldop list s ide of they are ag saying that to investigate the uranium deal, the one the right wing wants you to think is the biggest scandal since the rosenbergs. is trump using asia, he was frustrated, that was his word, he couldn t sick the department of justice on hillary clinton. the round table has come here tonight with much more on roy moore. let me finish tonight from california where i m met with the dangerous last campaign waged here in 1968. this is hardball where the action is.

is that what you re saying. i did not and i m not aware of anyone else that did. since making that statement, the unsealed plea deal of george papadopoulos side the testimony of carter page said sessions was in detailed communication. he presided over the famous march campaign meeting, papadopoulos revealed he had connections that could involve a meeting between then candidate trump and president putin himself. he recalls that meeting now, but only after hearing about it in news reports. i do now recall that the march 2016 meeting at the trump hotel that mr. papadopoulos attended, but i have no clear recollection of the details of what he said at that meeting. after reading his account and to the best of my recollection, i believe that i wanted to make clear to him that he was not authorized to represent the campaign with the russian government or any other foreign government for that matter. but i did not recall this event which occurred 18 months before my testimony of a few weeks ago. well, sessions also said he did not recall being informed that carter page planned to go to moscow despite the fact that page testified he told sessions in advance of the trip. sessions got heated on that point when pressed by democratic congressman hakeem jeffries. let s watch that moment. at that meeting carter page told you that the that he was going to moscow in a few days. is that right? yes. okay. that s and he thank you. he said it was a brief meeting as he was walking out the door. i don t recall that conversation. but i m not able to dispute it. understood. reclaiming my time, i ve got limited time available. that does not does that establish a some sort of improper contact. i think you understand with russians. he s not russian either, you know. you understand, sir, i get to ask the questions. you provide the answers in this capacity and no longer in the united states senate. i made no response to him, didn t acknowledge it, and you re accusing me of lying about that? throughout the hearing sessions maintained his story had not changed and that he did not lie to congress in his past testimonies. joining me is democratic congressman hakeem jeffries in new york in that hearing you just heard. and betsy woodruff joins us from the daily beast. congressman jeffries, this is a question of the law. if you keep saying you forgot, you forgot, does that save you from a perjury indictment. it absolutely does not. i pointed out in the first part of any questioning of jeff sessions that he, himself, made the point in october of 2016 that when hillary clinton said i don t remember over 35 times, that if that was intentional, that itself could constitute the crime of perjury. now it turns out that jeff sessions earlier this year testified before the senate intelligence committee, said i don t recall approximately 30 times, same thing before the senate judiciary committee today, repeatedly said i don t recall at least 25 times. so it was a classic case over and over and over again of selective amnesia when convenient. it s clear, chris, that he has been less than truthful on multiple occasions when testifying before congress about contacts between himself, the trump campaign and russia. and that s a serious thing. did you notice anything sort of ethnic about his attitude in answering your questions, something that rattled him, he seemed disturbed it was you asking the questions? did you sense anything there? not necessarily. i do think he seemed a little agitated that i referenced his own words in a speech that he gave when justifying his vote to remove bill clinton from office on the charge of perjury. and jeff sessions referenced, during his senate floor speech, the fact that when he was a u.s. attorney he prosecuted a young police officer who failed to provide accurate testimony during a deposition even though that young police officer subsequently corrected the record. now, chris, i pointed out, simply that he has repeatedly done the same exact thing and sessions said that bill clinton should be held to a standard that is the same as that young police officer, seems to me reasonable that the attorney general of the united states of america should be held to the standard that jeff sessions held that young police officer to when he ruined his life and prosecuted him for perjury. are you concerned about his hiring standards at justice, his lack of diversity? well, last reason to be concerned, cedric richmond, the chairman of the congressional black caucus had a very thorough question and answer session with the attorney general, and in response to a question from congressman richmond about his senior staff, the attorney general indicated he had no diversity as it relates to african-americans in his senior ranks. give all the important issues under the jurisdiction of the department of justice, including the criminal justice system, voter suppression, the upholding of civil rights laws in an era of increased hate crimes, it would seem to me to be reasonable that the doj should reflect the gorgeous mosaic of the united states of america and it does not. thank you, sir. anyway, the congressman, has you mentioned, when confronted with specific questions about russia and the campaign, sessions repeatedly said he could not recall. i had no recollection of this meeting until i saw these news reports. did anyone else at that meeting, including then candidate trump, react in any way to what mr. pop dpapadopouls represented. i don t recall. did you dis cuss meeting with kislyak and flynn? i do not recall. did anybody forward you communiation from mr. papadopoulos. i don t recall it. i don t recall ever being made aware of that before. i don t recall it. i do not recall such a conversation. i don t recall it. in your testimony today you have stated i don t recall at least 20 times. is that fair to say? i have no idea. betsy woodruff, thanks for joining us. give us a sense of how that plays when people read in newsprint i don t recall again and again. do people believe that? i mean, it s always possible there s so much going on in a campaign you don t remember things. but it does seem selective he only remembers stuff when recalled to his attention and only when he is forced to, as you know in journalism. it s called rolling disclosure, you admit what s been proven already, nothing more. it s something we re used to with the entire trump organization. before sessions, the testimony today, he had not just significant failure to recollect all sorts of details about what happened on the campaign, but then he came forward with a certain new piece of information that he now says came to mind. you know, namely the fact that he said he told papadopoulos not to talk to the russian government or to any other foreign got government. that s a new piece of information that sessions said he now has been able to remember despite not being able to remember a host of other basic facts that journalists and members of congress have been pressing him on. even if it s possible, the case that the attorney general is being completely forthright and that his memory was jogged by all these news reports. it goes without saying this creates significant credibility problems for him in congress and, you know, with people reading about the way that he talks about how this whole campaign and the russia connections have played out. i want to add to that a little bit. you can jump in. i think if i were a guy from a senator from alabama and i was a regular american lawmaker and all the sudden at a meeting in a presidential campaign somebody, carter page who i don t know starts talking about going to moscow, why are you telling me that? somebody else is talking about meetings with russians, maybe some dirt on hillary? you d remember that stuff. it jumps out at you. it s so exotic. it s not the stuff politicians talk about. they don t talk about russians all the time. i don t want to sound like a nationalist completely here. it s unusual conversations about countries across the world. thank you for joining me. up next, the justice department is considering whether or not to appoint they say they are. a special counsel to investigate nothing. hillary clinton did nothing to do with the ruranium deal, and t was legally done. what about trump? we ll see what he s up to. he s pushing sessions. he said he s very frustrated with the fact that the department of justice isn t going after clinton. he wants them to. he doesn t understand our constitution. this is hardball where the action is. small businesses show their love to you. with some friendly advice, a genuine smile and a warm welcome they make your town. well, your town. that s why american express is proud to be the founding partner of small business saturday. a day where you get to return that love, because shopping small makes a big difference. so, on november 25th get up, get out, and shop small. a heart transplant. that s a whole different ballgame. i was in shock. i am very proud of the development of drugs that can prevent the rejection and prevent the recurrence of the original disease. i never felt i was going to die. we know so much about transplantation. and we re living longer. you cannot help but be inspired by the opportunities that a transplant would offer. my donor s mom says you were meant to carry his story . grandma s. aunt stacy s. what are the reasons you care for your heart?

and we will use the proper standards. that s the only thing i can tell you, mr. jordan. i appreciate that you can have your idea. sometime we have to study what the facts are and to evaluate whether it meets the standard that requires a special counsel. as the republicans pushing hard for a special counsel, the attorney general s boss, president trump, he s also on the case. let s watch. you know, the saddest thing is that because i m the president of the united states i am not supposed to be involved with the justice department. i m not supposed to be involved with the fbi. i m not supposed to be doing the kind of things that i would love to be doing and i m very frustrated by it. i m not involved with the justice department. i d like to let it run itself. they should be looking at the democrats and at podesta and all that dishonesty. a lot of people are disappointed in the justice department, including me. i m joining with barbara mckwad. michael, do you get a sense the attorney general is trying to keep his job here by slow walking this thing and turn it over to the bureaucrats? he certainly appeased the president for now. this is something the president really wants. if he had a special counsel to point to on the other side and say there s a special counsel investigating democrats, it would distract from the problem engulfing his presidency, robert mueller. the russia investigation has intensified in the last couple weeks. there s been charges. this would offset that. barbara, what would you investigate if you were a prosecutor in the federal justice department, investigate this decision by this inner cabinet tasks force, they approved the uranium deal, agreed to it, signed it at the cabinet level. what would be the body of the crime to investigate? it was all done transparently and by the correct procedures. i believe that the theory that i have heard is that there s some sort of bribery count that some thought that hillary clinton approved this deal in exchange for a large donation of the clinton fund. bribery has a five-year statute of limitations. this all occurred seven years ago. i think it would be difficult even to begin to investigate something when so much time has passed. there s a reason we have a statute of limitations, evidence gets stale. i imagine one could interview all the people involved. it seems to me we are tasking senior federal prosecutors on a fool s errand. don t you have to initially establish the fact that hillary clinton put her hand to a document that she had some briefing on the subject, had some involvement in the decision to approve that sale? yes. you know, if it is a bribery theory, you d have to show that in exchange for anything of value, this donation, she committed some sort of official act. that official act would have to be some act to have been taken to approve this deal. i don t know that there s any evidence of that. i m sorry to be short. i think it s a closed case. up next, the controversy surrounding roy moore again. attorney general jeff sessions has no reason to doubt moore s accusers. that comes amid new reports the alabama senate candidate used to troll, that s a great word for the grown up, troll the local mall looking to pick up teenage girls. that was his reputation. it s why he was banned from the gadsden mall. i can do more to lower my a1c. because my body can still make its own insulin. and i take trulicity once a week to activate my body to release it, like it s supposed to. trulicity is not insulin. it comes in a once-weekly, truly easy-to-use pen. the pen where you don t have to see or handle a needle. and it works 24/7. trulicity is a once-weekly injectable medicine to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it should not be the first medicine to treat diabetes, or for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do not take trulicity if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, if you have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you re allergic to trulicity. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or symptoms like itching, rash, or trouble breathing. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases your risk for low blood sugar. common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and indigestion. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. to help lower my a1c i choose trulicity to activate my within. ask your doctor if once-weekly trulicity is right for you. i am a first responder tor and i emergencies 24 hours a day, everyday of the year. my children and my family are on my mind when i m working all the time. my neighbors are here, my friends and family live here, so it s important for me to respond as quickly as possible and get the power back on. it s an amazing feeling turning those lights back on. be informed about outages in your area. sign up for outage alerts at pge.com/outagealerts. together, we re building a better california. welcome back to hardball. roy moore has royaled congressional republicans, president trump has largely avoided weighing in on the topic. he s been in asia since the news broke last week. white house press secretary sarah sanders says the president believes moore will do the right thing and step aside if the allegations are true. when pressed by reporters on air force one on saturday the president said i m dealing with the president of china, the president of russia. i haven t been able to devote very much time to this. trump returns from asia this evening. while his trip allowed him to leave domestic affairs behind. he must grapple with the tax cut plan, and decide whether to cut ties with moore in the special senate race. let s bring in the hardball round table, political reporter with the guardian, the opinion writer with the washington post, and the washington correspondent for usa today. sabrina, i do get the sense the president is keeping the wide option out there like the football quarterback, he s got the option of whether to drop this guy like a bad habit. i think the president wants to avoid any of the political fallout that might be associated with turning against roy moore. you ll recall that the president already expressed regret for having backed moore s opponent in the primary, luther strange. he knows that prominent conservative media figures have stuck behind moore as well as his own base. so the question is, does he publicly call on moore to step aside or does he do so privately and try to avoid the publicity associated with it and does he encourage jeff sessions who he has been no fan of in the justice department, to consider entering the race. and i think that s the key question is, which direction trump will go in. jonathan, are your views of the options he still has on the table? i think whatever option the president utilizes is going to be a hot mess. he his base, as sabrina said, loves roy moore. the president wanted to support roy moore against luther strange and went against his gut. the other thing is, the president hates losing. so i don t know what the president s going to do, how he s going to say it. he is going to have to address the roy moore issue. he needs to have a republican in that alabama senate seat if his tax plan and any of his other legislative items are going to get passed. and so, you know, between the allegations against roy moore, the sexual assault allegations against roy moore, the president is in a bouillon base of trouble. i have no idea what he s going to do, when he s going to do it, and what he s going to say. again, chris, whatever he says, it s going to be a hot mess. paul singer, if he does succeed by toughing it out, we ve had experiences in both parties where people tough it out. clarence thomas toughed it out. clinton toughed it out with monica. there s such a thing with politics, doing it, i don t care how bad it gets, stick to this, stick to my story, rub it into the other side and hit them back hard. if he does that, if this guy win it is special election if he is, in fact, seated in the u.s. senate, they re stuck with a republican notion of an age of whatever, of 14. that they re defending this guy s behavior. right. and there is every suggestion from the senate leadership, including mitch mcconnell that they will immediately launch an ethics investigation against him if he ever takes that seat. the house of representatives, there s a statute of limitations on ethics complaints. they can only go back about six years. in the senate there is no statute of limitations on ethics complaint. they could launch an ethics complaint against roy moore the day he is sworn into the senate. the question, how long will that take and what does it do to the legislative agenda if you have a guy sitting outside the bubble? what s it do with this freddy kruger president we have, what happens if he says i want you to vote for this guy up to election day four weeks from today and the people follow him, do what the president tells me to do and the next thing you know the guy is examined and found to be a sleaze ball. how does trump deal with that? i doubt trump is going to say anything to say you should vote for the guy. he may not say don t vote for him. he may not say anything. he s waiting for steve bannon to go out front and say this is the wrong guy. according to the daily beast, steve bannon may is be having second thoughts. he s, quote, uncomfortable with the charges of sexual harassment and child molestation that have been leveled at moore. he wasn t convinced the initial flood of on the record testimony was anything more than a hit job. what do you make of this, sabrina? this is emblematic of the post trump era, unvetted candidates who used to be part of the fringe and are within the republican mainstream. you mentioned people who have toughed it out in the past, clarence thomas, bill clinton. you no who else toughed it out? president trump himself. that s another elephant in the room that s bound to be raised if and when he weighs in on roy moore and his fate and the fact of the matter is it didn t matter at the ballot box that trump himself had been accused by more than a dozen women of sexual assault, and it remains to be seen if it will matter when it comes to roy moore. but i think you re going to see more and more of what used to be unacceptable in politics no longer have bearing on the outcome of a race. and that s the trend that s been unleashed, also by republicans having supported the president despite the many statements that he had made that they had claimed were disqualifying. jonathan, this is the first time i ve seen a schism between president trump and the senators, it s clear they re not comfortable. this is the first time they ve openly opposed him. why is this the issue that s broken mcconnell away from him, ted cruz away from him, paul ryan away from him? why now. we have charges allegations of child molestation, excuse me, one, and two, the power of the story is that the four women in the washington post story that set all of this off, they went on the record. this was not a story about unnamed victims. yes. they put their names out there. and so it made it difficult for people on capitol hill to turn away. but chris, i have to tell you, i am not entirely confident that if roy moore does indeed become the next senator from alabama, that the senate is actually or congress is actually going to do anything about it. because these folks are living in fear of the people who will have sent roy moore to the senate. okay, i agree with you. i think two-thirds expulsion vote is a wild card. the round table is sticking with us. up next these three will give me three scoops. we ll be talking about it forever, maybe. this is hardball where the action is. what started as a passion. .has grown into an enterprise. that s why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. now, i m earning unlimited 2% cash back on every purchase i make. everything. what s in your wallet?
