They say a briefing that they got didnt provide strong justification for the killing of irans top general. Well hear from House Speaker nancy pelosi next hour. Also, a pair of republicans in the senate say their own intel briefing was not at all satisfactory. Senators mike lee and rand paul calling it insulting, demeaning and inadequate. Remarkable criticism from within the republican party. Lets begin with pentagon correspondent barbara starr. I understand you have new reporting this morning. Can you help clear this up in effect for americans . What the intention, what the pentagon believes irans intention was as opposed to what the white house is saying now . Yesterday, a number of Administration Officials were privately briefing reporters that they thought that iran launched these missiles with no intention of killing americans and they were purposely aiming them at areas on these bases where americans were not. Late yesterday afternoon, the chairman of the joint chiefs, general mark milley, fourstar, multiple command positions on front lines, had a very Different Military view of the situation. Told reporters he believed the iranians were out to kill americans. And then Vice President pence weighed in this morning on that very point. The Ballistic Missiles fired at american bases outside erbil we believe were intended to kill americans. We believe that was the intention of the iranians. So, look, the iranians are firing multiple Ballistic Missiles at great distances. Would they have the precision to fire at particular points where they were absolutely sure there would not be american troops . Probably not. Thats a pretty far stretch. But a couple of things did happen behind the scenes. The iranians did give warning through third parties. That helps the u. S. Know what was coming and u. S. Satellites and radar picked up signs of those missiles being launched. That gave them enough time to move americans out of the way. So that helped, but the general consensus is that the iranians could not have really known that there would not be americans that they might actually, you know, result it might result in casualties. The damage assessment, in fact, is that the missiles hit a helicopter was damaged. Tents were damaged where americans might have been. Some runways were damaged. So these did not hit in just vast, open areas. A lot of concern that they get a good understanding of what the iranians were really up to. Yeah, and barbara, thank you for that. There is great detailed reporting, your reporting on cnn. Com about what went into the president s calculation not to strike back at iran. Barbara, thank you. Lets goat our Senior International correspondent Fred Pleitgen in tehran. What are we learning about the new threats coming overnight from the Iranian Regime . New threats from the iranians. And also brandnew reporting that we just got here from the head of the revolutionary Guard Aerospace forces. This is the commander of the forces that both launched that Ballistic Missile attack at those bases housing the u. S. Troops on it in retaliation for the killing of Qassem Soleimani. Hes also the commander of the forces that downed a u. S. Drone earlier this year. The big takeaway from what he said, this was a press conference that just ended, he said the aim of irans strikes against the u. S. Targets in iraq was not to kill troops but to hit americas military machine, as he puts it, and then he goes on to say, this is key. He said the strikes are the beginning of a widespread operation to avenge Qassem Soleimani. So the iranians are essentially saying, first of all, they didnt intend to kill u. S. Forces. They wanted to hit American Military hardware. And theyre saying this operation to avenge Qassem Soleimani continues. The end of the first phase may be over but theyre saying this is a long game and to expect further strikes in the not too distant future. Those are two significant things. He also goes on to say, and this is something that seems maybe a little contradictory. He also goes on to say the revolutionary guard believes that tens of people were either killed or injured in these strikes. Obviously, before that saying they didnt intend to kill any americans and then saying may be killed or injured. Not provide anything evidence. We know President Trump came out and said all americans on those bases, all people on those bases were accounted for. Not sure whether this is some sort of trolling the iranians are doing but they said two things. They didnt intend to kill u. S. Personnel and they do intend to continue their retaliation, guys. We should note the pentagon would have to let americans know if u. S. Forces were killed there so no evidence of that. Fred pleitgen in iran, thank you. Lauren fox is on capitol hill. The house is going to take up a vote on limiting the president s war powers. That will be this afternoon. I just want to given that you have republicans now questioning the administrations cause for war here, the intelligence, is there any chance that the senate might also pass this resolution or does it stop in the house . Well, thats the big question at this point, jim. Ill tell you essentially what we expect in the house is potentially a few defections. Thats according to one republican source i talked to this morning who said you can expect the normal players, people like Thomas Massey of kentucky who is more libertarian minded when it comes to war powers to vote with the democrats perhaps on this issue. But in the senate, thats the big question because, remember, after yesterdays briefing, there was a lot of frustration about what they heard from the administration. Heres what mike lee and rand paul had to say after that briefing. To come in and tell us that we cant debate and discuss the appropriateness of military intervention against iran. Its unamerican. Its unconstitutional. And its wrong. The constitution said the power to declare war was to be given to congress. They specifically did not give that power to the president. I didnt learn anything in the hearing i hadnt heard in a newspaper already and none of it was overwhelming that x was going to happen. Of course, the question here, jim, is whether or not there is going to be more republicans who come out and say essentially what we heard from lee and paul yesterday. I should note that they have been in this place for a long time, since theyve come to capitol hill. Theyve argued essentially that Congress Needs more of a role when it comes to the American Foreign policy abroad. So that is a position theyve held for a while but it will be interesting to see if romney or collins or others come along. Jim and poppy . Okay, lauren fox, thanks so much for the reporting. Joining us to talk about all of what weve heard just, mike rogers and kelly magman. She served on the National Security council for president george w. Bush and president obama. Nice to have you both here. Chairman rogers, let me begin with you. Your reaction to the reaction from republican senators mike lee and rand paul. You say the administration is obligated to start working with congress more but also say that Congress Needs to act more like adults when it comes to National Security. Are you concerned with the rhetoric and the way theyre saying it or are you concerned with what they are saying . Not necessarily what theyre saying. I have i was one that also believed the aumf had long reached its expiration date. Under obama, i was working with a group of members to try to get it reauthorized and make sure congress had an active and Important Role in that process. I think congress walked away from that responsibility since 2002. So we do need some aumf, but doing it for political purposes to say, i dont like the president so im going to not let him do x or y is not a way to conduct Foreign Policy or National Security. And i can tell you this. As a chairman of the committee who got the most Sensitive Information and then i would go to these briefings that were broader wut eer with more membe clearly they had necked down or at least not given the most Sensitive Information to this group of members, and they were always frustrated. So i understand their frustration and i think what chairman milley was saying is that that information that allowed them to that allowed them to make the decision to do the strike was exquisite, meaning it was very, very sensitive. Meaning it probably came from places that any discussion around that information might disclose how they got it is my best guess from everything im seeing and hearing today. Kelly, you have disconnects, well, contradiction from the administration as to what irans intention was here. You have some in the administration saying we think iran intentionally missed. And there were a lot of communications in advance of this tactic which seem to back that on up. Get out of the way. Were about to fire. But then you heard the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. I want to get your reaction. I believe based on what i saw and what i know that they were intended to cause structural damage, destroy vehicles and equipment and aircraft and to kill personnel. Thats my own personal assessment. It gets to the administrations decision not to retaliate. Why this contradiction coming from the administration . Listen, i think its reasonable to expect that the iranians when they fired Ballistic Missiles were intending to hit something. I think that its very likely the case that the iranians did expect some sort of casualty damage on our side. But i think its really important to understand that right now it feels a little like the administration is taking a bit of a victory lap. I think its very premature. I think that we are in it for the long haul. I think the iranians will unfold their reactions to the Soleimani Killing over time and theyre going to do it in more deniable ways. Im a little concerned weve declared victory and everything is fine now. So republican congresswoman liz cheney who serves in the House Armed Services committee has this take. The war powers resolution just introduced by congresswoman slotkin dishonors every member of Americas Armed forces by equating iranian attacks against our men and women in uniform with u. S. Action to kill the worlds deadliest terrorist. Disgrace. I wonder if lost in that message was the fact he wise not just a terrorist, which he was. But also a leader, a government leader in iran. And that is the key distinction, and theres a reason why the Bush Administration and the Obama Administration didnt take him out when they had those opportunities. What do you think of what congresswoman cheney is saying here, chairman rogers . To me, this feeds into the narrative about these members need to be adults when it comes to National Security. If you are on one team and saying it was all wrong and terrible and were going to tell you why and tell the world why it was terrible, i dont think thats helpful. I think there are places for that in congress to have those conversations. And same the other way about questioning peoples patriotism because they have differences of opinion. I never think its a good idea. But facts matter. This is my point about being adults. When that talking point comes up, well, the Bush Administration said no and the Obama Administration said no, and i was there for both of those, it was never i have a cold today. I cant talk. Qassem soleimani never left iran. He never, never engaged the way hes been engaging in the last few years. And we saw it at the last piece of the Obama Administration where he was supplying, getting the Houthi Rebels in yemen arme. So you cant say they didnt do it then because of x and the circumstances have changed. Thats an important point. He was much more active. He was in syria planning operations. He had participated in the planning of the operation that killed an american just several weeks before that. And so those facts matter. And i think its hard for people just to come down and say yes or no and i dont like the president , thats my decision or i love the prrkesident, thats decision. None of that is an adult conversation about what the threats are. Speaking of adult conversation, alyssa slotkins husband is a retired colonel. An Apache Helicopter pilot. They met in iraq and one of their children serves. So to say disrespectful to the military, doesnt seem to have a lot of basis. My point exactly. My point before you go. Its not over. Iran has enormous capabilities. What kind of thichk things doe u. S. Have to be on alert from in the coming days and weeks from iran . Thaeyll look for an opportunity to target senior American Military official, possibly a diplomat for either kidnapping or killing. You can potentially see cyberattacks. I think director mccabe was on earlier speaking about the potential for that. So the iranians have many tools at their disposal. They have proxies around the region. Hezbollah and within iraq. So their main goal right now is to put pressure on the iraqi government, i think, also to push us out of iraq. So theyre playing a much bigger strategic game than what were playing. What were tactsical game and i think its very dangerous. Thanks to both of you. Still to come pressure on pelosi. Now members of her own party say its time to hand over the articles of impeachment to the senate. Will she budge . Will it happen this week . Ukrainian investigators are now looking into the possibility that an antiaircraft missile brought down a plane in iran killing 176 people. This video shows, you see it there, that plane on fire as it came to the ground. And forget brexit. The headlines today all about megxit.

Welcome back. Pressure seeming to mount on House Speaker nancy pelosi to send over the two articles of impeachment to the senate. Pressure from some and some leaders in her own party. I think it is time to send impeachment to the senate and let Mitch Mcconnell be responsible for the fairness of the trial. He ultimately is. In a little over an hour, shell be at that podium there. Possible she announce it then . Rachael bade and michael gerhardt. Michael also testified before the House Judiciary Committee during last months impeachment hearings and in the clinton impeachment. So rachael, just on the hill at this point, what are you hearing about when nancy pelosi is likely to send over the articles to the senate . Listen, right now, its a lot of speculation. A lot of people thought shed do it on monday and then she held out. Its clear that shes holding increasingly a losing hand here. Pelosi didnt have a lot of leverage to begin with but now as more and more democrat comes out and say its time to send the articles over to the senate, shes really losing leverage and this is really undercutting her case. Its telling that adam smith told cnn this morning that he was also of the mind that it was time to move on because house members, in particular, rarely speak out against Speaker Pelosi. They just dont do it. And to see smith, the chairman in her own leadership team, push back against her, thats really significant. I think thats a great point, rachael. Weve heard similar sentiment from angus king who is independent but caucuses with democrats. Joe manchin. I wonder what you think nancy pelosi and the democrats in the house gained from waiting. Well, they obviously gained some time. And i am not sure what else theyve gained. I think they were hoping for some leverage. I think hopefully maybe to put some pressure on the president to see what he would do next. Perhaps put some pressure on mcconnell. Perhaps give the Senate Democrats some opportunity to come together and put some extra pressure on those swing republicans. Those few republicans that might have broken away in favor of witnesses. Its hard to see at least visibly whatever the speaker may have gained at this point. She certainly got a lot of attention for it. And at this point maybe the other thing i would point out she might have gained is we have had revelations since she began to hold the articles. Revelations in the news that have hurt the president. More information about whats been going on in the administration but actually fortifies the democrats case and undermines the republicans opposition. You also have a witness raising his hand now. John bolton saying hes willing to testify. Of course, he was blocked from testifying by the president during the house impeachment. That was quite a moment. Does that put pressure . Are you hearing that republicans are feeling pressure from that to call witnesses during the trial . Yeah, i mean, i think that republicans especially moderate republicans, are still going to be grapple with this question of whether to bring in bolton in a couple of weeks. Its increased pressure on them to agree with democrats to do this. I want to go back to this point about pelosi holding the articles and news reports that have showed new revelations. Bolton coming forward. These sort of things were going to happen regardless of pelosi holding the articles. I know that democrats are sort of pointing to them saying that there was sort of logic behind the strategy and that somehow these events are related, but the reality is theyre really not. Bolton was going to do this anyway. In terms of coming out and saying he was hes open to testifying in the senate. He didnt just do that because pelosi was holding the articles. And the New York Times was going to write anyway on foia information that they received over the break. So its kind of it looks like democrats are looking for a justification for a strategy that privately a lot of them feel was a failure. Rachael, your reporting overnight is really interesting because for all the people that think the white house and Mitch Mcconnell are in lockstep on how this is going to proceed, you have some reporting on a rift within the party about how this should go. Should there be defense members of the president s team from House Republicans or not . Thats exactly right. Were hearing from well, both sides right now. Theres this sort of interparty turf war thats going on where you have House Republicans, people like jim jordan who think they can do a good job defending the president in the senate. Now kevin mccarthy, the republican leader in the hour, hes been arguing to trump personally that jim jordan is good on tv. Trump knows that. Trump loves jim jordan and knows the facts of the case the democrats have built against the president really well. But Mitch Mcconnell, the Senate Republican leader has been telling trump that he shouldnt be thinking of the trial as a made for tv moment. That people like jim jordan could repel moderate republicans like susan collins, Lisa Murkowski who want to see sort of a different strategy instead of this noholdsbarred, go after joe biden, go after hunter biden, go after the whistleblower. They dont want to see that strategy. And they are worried that could hurt the republican unity in the senate. Michael, how when this trial starts, how soon and how would there be a vote on calling witnesses . How would that process work . Well, first thing that would happen is once the Senate Receives the articles, then the majority leader would convene the senate. Probably not in a closed session as trent lott did during the clinton impeachment but hell convene the senate and theyll take a vote on overall procedure. Basic framework for proceeding. Clearly that framework will not include a requiring or calling witnesses. And then a second topic will come up. Thats the topic of witnesses, and there will be a separate vote on that. Thats going to be the critical one, of course. Whether or not they need new witnesses is open to question. Theres a lot of evidence the house already had. But keep in mind during the clinton impeachment, House Republicans have pushed for and voted for clintons impeachment and said they didnt need more evidence. They were going to impeach them and the senates job was to do a trial, hear evidence. Now theyre switching positions. And part of the problem with their switching positions is it looks to be part of a coverup of the president based on all these new revelations. Theres a lot of position switching between how the last impeachment went and this one. That never happens in politics. Rachael bade and michael gerhardt. Back to the tragic news of that plane crash. More than 24 hours after the plane crashed and killed all 176 passengers on board, the crash happened in tehran shortly after takeoff, ukrainian investigators are looking at whether an antiaircraft missile could be among the possibilities. Well follow those details for you. Were moments away from the opening bell on wall street. Stocks set to rise at the open. Oil prices have settled after the 24 hours of tension in iran. Well see how traders react to the tentative trade truce. The vice premier will lead an official delegation to washington on monday to sign what the president has described as a phase one trade agreement. The president said hell travel to beijing at a later time to start talks on what hes referred to as phase two. At leaf blowers. You should be mad your neighbor always wants to hang out. And you should be mad your smart fridge is unnecessarily complicated. Make ice. Making ice. But youre not mad because you have e trade which isnt complicated. Their tools make trading quicker and simpler so you can take on the markets with confidence. Dont get mad get e trade and start Trading Commission free today. This morning, ukrainian investigators are looking into whether an antiaircraft missile took down the boeing 737 jet just minutes after it took off from an airport in iran in the midst of those missile strikes. All 176 people on board were killed in the crash. This is just one of the possible theories investigators are discussing with irans aviation authority. Also, new reports from witnesses say they saw the plane on fire, and heres some video showing that as well, as it was plunging to the ground. It also changed direction. It seemed to be turning back towards the airport. Joining me now, scott mclean and Business Editor at large Richard Quest with an enormous amount of experience on aircraft, crashes, et cetera. Ive spoken to a u. S. Official who says the u. S. Intelligence as well as taking a look at this crash to see what brought it down. How seriously in your view are investigators taking the possibility that this was a missile . Initially, they were not. Initially there was talk of an engine fire and the plane turning back. The significance is the way the ukrainians reversed themselves. They initially put out a statement after the crash saying no missile or no military activity. Then they withdrew that statement which leads one to assume why . What did they know . Why did they not say anything more . Now youve got the iranians who say they have located the voice and data recorder. They wont hand them over to the United States or tell us where theyre going to be theyre going to be read out. They are not giving any serious information about the state of the wreckage. Whilst at the same time, others are saying there are missile fragments. All of this is hearsay, secondguessing and speculation. If we look at the report which the iranian investigators have just released in the last day or so, well, it doesnt really tell us much more. Its a counting of what they found. The relative condition that it was in, but were still waiting for them to come up with any form of early prognosis of what they think the result was. We dont expect a fullscale, it was this, it was this, it was this, but you might well expect them to say there was damage or there was signs of fire from missile or explosives. If you look at mh17 over ukraine, that one took a number of months before there was a definitive answer. Scott, youve been speaking to families. What are they saying about this . What are they demanding as this investigation begins . Yeah, of the family and friends weve spoken to, youd be hard pressed to see if this was any kind of a mechanical failure. Most people here, despite the fact they have their normal complaints about airlines as you do with any airline, they believe in the reliability of this aircraft, especially given the fact it was built in 2016 and delivered straight to the manufacturer. Its a heartbreaking scene here. Weve seen one by one people come in, colleagues, friends, family to drop off flowers. The president zelensky was here earlier to add to this pile this morning. These are the nine crew members aboard that flight. Thats all but two of the 11 ukrainians who were killed. There was a powerful moment here about an hour or two ago. There was a woman here who stood here for about 20, 30 minutes sobbing uncontrollably because her son was one of the pilots. And she was saying over and over again in ukrainian, you know, why did you go . Who will visit me . And really pleading for any part of his body to come back as is the tradition here in ukraine. And remember, this is a national day of mourning in this country where 11 people were killed, but the bulk of the victims here are either iranian or canadian. Basically it was a popular route from tehran via kiev on to toronto. Many of the victims there were really bright, promising young students, jim. Heartbreaking for those families. A lot of questions that need to be answered now. Richard quest, scott mclean, thank you. Oil prices are settling as tension with iran appears to be easing but President Trump is touting a false claim. One he made yesterday that the United States is free, totally free from the grips of middle eastern oil. Here he was. Americas achieved energy independence. We are now the number one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world. We are independent. It is true that the u. S. Is now the worlds top producer of oil. What is definitively not true is trumps claim of total u. S. Energy independence. The United States is still dependent on the middle east for oil. Particularly dependent on saudi arabia. Crude oil imports from the persian gulf countries have dropped a lot over the last year or so, the u. S. Still imports about 670,000 barrels from the region every day as of october, just a few months ago. But not every barrel is really created equally. U. S. Oil that is produced here, a lot of it is shale oil. Its light. And because of our old refinery system, you need to mix that with heavy crude from other countries like saudi arabia and iraq to get it to work for your gasoline, for example. That is why those countries are still third and fourth respectively when it comes to daily oil imported to this country. So while oil imports have gone down, a lot, and thats a good thing for this countrys independence, foreign oil is still essential to us and what you do every day in the United States, jim. Facts matter, poppy. They do. Especially when youre talking about such a volatile region that we depend on. Oil prices rise. Gas prices rise. The senate set to vote on the war powers today. A majority of americans want the president s war powers limited. When you look at the world, what do you see . Where others see chaos, we see patterns. Connections. Relationships. When you use location technology, you can see where things happen, before they happen. With esri location technology, you can see what others cant. Iand i dont add up the years. But what i do count on is boost high protein. And now, introducing new boost mobility with collagen for joint health. When taken daily, its key nutrients help support joints, muscles, and strong bones. New, boost mobility. Welcome back. House lawmakers are gearing up to vote on a resolution that would limit the president s power. House Speaker Pelosi is speaking today. With me is john garamendi. Thank you for being here. Given the briefing, and i know some of it you cant share because there are parts that are classified, but given what you learned, what do you think the appropriate u. S. Response to iran would be . Well, we are, first of all, where we are after the incidents, titfortat, escalation along the way and now fortunately deescalation. What we need to do now is to really stand back and develop a longterm strategy with regard to iran. That strategy that was put in place by the Obama Administration, the joint jcpoa was disrupted. Basically torn apart by trump. We need to go back and try to figure out how to reengage with iran on the Nuclear Issue and on the other issues which need to be addressed. The missile issues, the disruption that iran is doing. That requires engagement. That requires that we not march to war but rather back away from it. Lest people forget, it is congress, and congress alone, that has the authority to declare war. Republican senator rand paul called the briefing that they got, which i think is very similar to the briefing you guys got, an insult to the constitution. Republican senator mike lee says that, quote, i walked out without answers and being told that we shouldnt debate because it might be harmful. Were you told that you shouldnt debate or ask too many questions because it might harm the United States . We were not told that. But we were clearly told that they have it under control. The Administration Knows exactly what its doing, and is obeying the law. The fact of the matter is that is not the case. It is certainly not under control. Theres clear evidence that they dont know what theyre doing. And theres also further evidence that they did not obey the law, that they were acting beyond the scope of power given to them on a legal ground, what is that evidence . Well, the evidence they presented no evidence that there was an imminent threat. Well, you are essentially saying the administration broke the law. Well, they used the 2003 or 2002 authorization to use force against Saddam Hussein as one of the two factors. The other factor was an imminent threat. They were unable to present any evidence of an imminent threat. And secondly, the 200203 aumf, authorization to use force against Saddam Hussein, is totally irrelevant to todays situation with iran. So thats why im saying with regard to that. What we intend to do today is to make clear they do not have authority to go to war with iran to take further military action against iran until they come to congress and say, heres what we need to do. And ask congress for the authority to do it. The real question becomes, can you get a vetoproof majority in the senate for that, even on the saudi intervention in yemen resolution last year. You had republican support in the senate but not a vetoproof majority. Let me ask you about the vote today. Your fellow congresswoman on the House Armed Services committee, liz cheney, says this. The war powers resolution introduced by rep slotkin dishonors every member of American Armed forces by equating iranian attacks against our men and women in uniform with u. S. Action to kill the worlds deadliest terrorists. She calls it a disgrace. You served with her. What was your response . Well, shes wrong. Her dad was wrong to get us into the iraq war. And its just plain incorrect. The fact of the matter is that it is our responsibility, the 535 members of congress in the senate that must act to engage in a war. The president s action to take out a very, very bad, evil person, general soleimani, was without legal authority. Now where do we go from there . We go to reassert our power and to reestablish what the founding members of this government way back in the constitution understood, and that is that a single person, the president , should not engage the United States in a war that it is so important. War so important that it requires the congress, the representatives of the people to make the decision to enter into a war. Fortunately, we are weve seen a deescalation. Both by iran and by the United States, by the Trump Administration giving a pause, hopefully a long pause and an opportunity for us and the American People to say, all right, its so important that we will go to war with iran or it is not and we will not enter into a war. Thats our responsibility. Congressman, i have 20 seconds left. We are hearing a growing chorus in your caucus from democrats saying its time for Speaker Pelosi to hand over the articles of impeachment. Is it time for Speaker Pelosi to hand them over to the senate . No. The speaker is absolutely correct. She needs to understand, we need to understand and, frankly, we need to use every lever that we have available to us to force the senate to do a real trial, not a coverup. Congressman garamendi, appreciate your time as always. Thanks very much. Thank you. Important conversation there. Other news were following this morning, a royal family drama.

Reporter well, literally dark cloud over Buckingham Palace today, guys. The rain has come out. It is miserable, reflects the mood actually within the palace. Two sides to this. The couple have been really frustrated for some time, external pressures from the media, invading their private life, they feel they have a right to a private life, so theyre stepping back and saying that that gives us more reason to have a private life, but also the internal pressure, they havent felt supported by the rest of the palace system, they dont feel theyre valued by the rest of the palace system, but crucially they learned about, you know, they felt that the lack of freedom that their role allows them, they have great ambitions for the type of work they want to do, and theyre not able to do it, they have been held back from that, and basically just had enough of it all, and they created effectively what is a manifesto, published it online about the type of public figures they want to be going forward. And they created these hybrid roles where they carry out some duties for the queen, but they also have a private career earning private money and thats the way they want to carry things forward. So comes after a huge amount of frustration. Does this mean that this will happen . If the queen didnt get the okay first in her statement seemed to say, wait a second, im not sure thats going to happen, is it formal . Are we sure, maybe, could they even back off over time . Reporter it certainly is not for sure. If you imagine this is a family firm and they all have roles within it and the queen is the boss. Theyre not saying were leaving, were resigning, were walking out, theyre saying we dont like the role that you created for us, we like this new role, and this is it. And were going to tell the whole world about it. A fundamental problem is they didnt discuss it with the queen first. Or with charles or with william. And they cant get that role without their approval. So thats the issue here. And im hearing from inside words ranging from complicated to deeply deeply disappointing to upset. And you dont hear that sort of language from the Queens Office ever. So actually the word she probsg are probably a lot stronger. Max foster, thank you very much for your reporting.
