[ cheers and applause ] border battle. president trump s immigration agenda is fueling fierce debate and opposition even among republicans who are publicly slamming the president s proposal. how the white house is
playbook, and phil rucker, white house bureau chief for the washington post. felipe, to you first, yesterday we heard the president talk legal immigration. why now you? is this the pivot i ve heard team jared talk about? steph, they re the president is trying to take a turn here heading towards the re-election campaign to offer a proposal that could somehow appeal to more independent voters, present a softer sort of more moderate sheen on his immigration agenda. but he s meeting a lot of resistance on capitol hill, republicans are not exactly for this and there s really no democrat for it because it doesn t do anything to address the issue of the dreamers who are here. and you know, i don t know how voters are going to receive this but it s going to be hard to wash away the images of the separation of children from their parents at the border from last year. i mean, that is such a searing indelible moment for this presidency that any sort of effort here to moderate the
immigration agenda may be difficult to make a lasting imprint. anna, let s talk about the critique of yesterday s rollout. a lot of criticism, many saying jared kushner wasn t able to answer basic questions about the plan. and they don t have republican supporters of it. in today s playbook, you write this. why put something like this out if you re going to have next no support even from your own support, why not save yourself the embarrassment? even if this is a campaign play, democrats will be able to say republicans didn t even support that plan. so that s your take but here s the thing. it might not be that jared kushner doesn t know the plan. he could be vague because he doesn t want to alienate republicans. he knows if he s straight out of the gate alien natz the rush limbaugh s of the world, trump will shut this thing down. is is the real issue he shouldn t have rolled anything out unless he had republicans in

approaching this well most of the parties have pledged to fight climate change also nordic countries and this very affected by climate change and the parties of also said that they ve been very inspired by the student marches that have also taken place in finland similar to other european cities. the sense party now has also had a party program which has been inspired by something they call the climate they don t believe in all of this and they also have vala to cut for example taxation on fuel. tell me about this party and how it compares with the other parties on the map right now right i mean it s quite similar to other right wing populist parties in europe they have also an immigration agenda they are also quite anti e.u. and they also oppose finland for instance joining nato discipline ongoing debate in the country. so yeah they are quite quite similar but they also changed their
