Seriously tonight. A short time ago, the u. S. Central command, the coalition, announced it is opening a formal assessment into whether on march 17th, in west mosul, it may have dropped bombs that killed a significant large number, perhaps, perhaps hundreds of civilians. So issue right now, nobody knows exactly what happened. All of this began to emerge over the last couple of days as Social Media Activists in the area began to report large numbers of Civilian Casualties due to bombings in west mosul where there is very tough fighting against isis. The picture has been pretty murky because theres so many conflicting reports, and the u. S. Doesnt have anybody on the ground there that can put eyeballs on the situation and really verify it. But the pentagon, the coalition today, a short time ago, said that theyve been able to
determine that, yes, they did conduct the air strikes in one of these areas where the allegations have emerged from on march 17th. Iraqi officials on the ground are
Media, if people dont believe us. One of the reasons they dont believe us is because of the way the last election was covered, which was overwhelmingly in favor of one candidate over another. That is not surprising given that there is no politically diversity in the press corps. Politico did a study on this. How many registered republicans in the White House Press corps . Zero. Thats a huge problem, dont you think . Im a registered independent. I think it is important to be neutral when you are covering politics in the white house. Tucker do you i agree with you. You think of the people covering the white house are objective . I do. We went to read their twitter feeds . I cant speak for every member of the association. s i think it is very important to be neutral. I think it is important to report the facts, it is important to report robustly with the president is doing. I think you should do that regardless of whether the president is a republican or a democrat. Tucker i agree with th
Refuse to share information about the Islamic State with the United States. And official telling the post that trump revealed more information to the Russian Ambassador than we have shared with our own allies. Nbc news has not confirmed the reports about the meeting. Roughly an hour ago National Security adviser h. R. Mcmaster emerged from the white house to offer this denial. Theres nothing that the president takes more seriously than the security of the American People. This story that came out tonight as reported is false. The president and the Foreign Minister reviewed a range of common threats to our two countries, including threats to civil aviation. At no time at no time were intelligence sources or methods discussed and the president did not disclose any Military Operations that were not already publicly known. Two other senior officials who are present, including the Secretary Of State remember the
meeting the same way and have said that. Their on the record accounts should ou
North korean actions just reenforced for both leaders why this is the number one threat to both Prime Minister abe and to President Trump. I think the north korean actions were deliberately timed after what was a pretty good week in terms of u. S. Policy in asia, with regard to President Trumps call with xi jinping and secretary mattiss trip to the region, i think the Trump Administration said look, were here and were not going to be an easy issue to deal with. Right now the National Security advisor is said to have broke on the law and critics call for him to be fired, for him to step down. How much does that impact the advice that this group can give the president at this time . I think the precedent is going to get advise from a wide range of people, including the folks in the State Department,
particularly those commitments to china that would affect the finances that north korea has for building these missiles, there may be a statement that comes out of the u. N. Security council
