Paula reid, thanks. Following a president ial tweet storm its always good to get the insights of our chief washington correspondent and face the nation host John Dickerson. I spoke with him earlier. John, on twitter sunday the president offered his own readout of the Putin Meeting writing i strongly pressed president putin twice about russian med eling in our election, he vemently denighted it. It is time to move forward working constructively with russia. What are the implications of that as a statement of the administration position. It is a bit of attention with itself. On the one hand the president wants toker cloo up any miss impression anybody may have about how tough i was on the russians which is to say he wants to make sure people believe the actions he took in that comeet meeting with commencement with the offense if that is the case, then it would seem at odds with that that he wants to move on because this is an issue so serious that he had to press the russian president twice. The president talked about a joint cyberunit with the russians which has gotten some derisive comments from democrats and republicans since he announced it he also tweeted about that this morning. Quijano on that point, what audience is the president targeting with the announcement of that cybersecurity unit. I suppose it is the audience that he always is targeting which is his supporters and his argument is that this is a big development, this is a take away from the warm relations he was able to create with the russians. And it was clear as we discussed in our panel today that the objective here both from the president and the secretary of state was to present a picture of a very warm, cordial, mutually respectable relationship between the president and vladimir putin.

We were there when the mosul offensive began in october. These kurdish fighters are trying to move in that direction and retake the main road to mosul. When Iraqi Forces Cleared the extremists from christian towns on the citys outskirts. That sounds like quite a lot of resistance. And then forged into the heart of mosul. But as isis faced inevitable defeat in mosul, attention quickly shifted to raqqa. The so called isis capital across the border in syria. Where u. S. Backed forces have the extremists surrounded.
