Scientists now say two thirds of australias Great Barrier reef has been destroyed by rising sea temperatures. This is 100 days, with me, katty kay, In Washington and Christian Fraser in london. Four days after donald trump launched Cruise Missiles against syria, its not clear what else he wants to do in that war, if anything. America today certainly doesnt feel as if its on war footing. And different members of the trump team are saying Different Things about americas syria policy and the future of President Assad. Here is the Us Ambassador to the Un Nikki Haley on sunday. There is not any sort of option where a political solution will happen with assad at the head of the regime. If you look at his actions, at the situation, it will be hard to see a government that is peaceful and stable with assad. But not everyone in the administration seems to advocate Regime Change. Heres us Secretary Of State Rex Tillerson with another. What we are hopeful is through this syrian process, working w
christie tonight, pence on wednesday, bergham as well, and foreign policy is rising on the radar screen. vivek ramaswamy was with us yesterday what he thought was the most important foreign policy problem that would need to be addressed, the growing relationship between russia and china. listen to what he said. i think we need to focus on driving a wedge between that alliance, because i think that is the single greatest military threat we will face and what gives xi jinping the confidence he needs to risk war with the u.s. over taiwan. the bet the u.s. won t want to actually go after two different nuclear superpowers at the same time. that s the foreign policy. john: polls would suggest biden is approve 38%, disapproved 57%, so with the former vice president getting in, could that open up a new
iran, you don t have it. my guess is, jonathan, at some point, this iranian regime is going to try to invent the foreign crisis in order to discredit the opposition and to wrap themselves in the flag, two possibilities. we re seeing it with some of their neighbors, the antikurdish things, and azerbaijan or the nuclear program. they may hope that the israelis or americans or saudis or someone takes action because every day that goes by, we re not looking at it anymore, they are getting closer to having the prerequisite of a nuclear bomb. my hunch is they might not mind a foreign policy problem in order to distract attention from the streets. keir, let me ask a question, as a movement guy here in the states, i m looking at what s going on in china. i m looking at what s going on in iran. what i m looking for, is there an organized movement? is there organized groups that could really bring this protest,

perhaps before some of his top aides did. in fact, when secretary of defense lloyd austin and secretary of state antony blinken went to kyiv in april and talked publicly about winning the war and weakening russia, we learned that president biden called them and asked them to tone it down. we were told the president worried their comments could set unrealistic expectations and increase the risk of the u.s. getting into a direct conflict with russia. look, escalation is obviously a big concern here, jose. my colleagues and i reported last week and the biden administration is war gaming scenarios for how to respond if russia uses a nuclear weapon in ukraine. this is about as hard a foreign policy problem as the president could face. the bottom line here, jose, is that many u.s. and european allies officials believe the russians are on their way to seizing ukraine s eastern donbas region and claiming it as russian territory. if that happens, zelenskyy will have to decide whether to negot
