This week we look at the consequences of americas air strikes on president assads air base. And we discuss the relations between beijing and washington. My guests this week are the china expert isabel hilton, the north American Writer and broadcaster jeffrey kofman, and rachel shabi, a writer on Middle Eastern affairs. Welcome to you all. The horrific pictures of the gas attack in syria have brought a swift american missile attack. Rachel, how is this seen in The Middle East . Where do we go from here . It seems to have support for trumps reports. There was praise for the courageous move. The king of saudi arabia praised the move. Bahrain, jordan, turkey. Israel, so the allies in the region were supportive. The reaction from syrians has been positive but measured. Of course, people welcome some retaliation for such a horrendous act, a Chemical Attack against your own people, Syrian People are going to be positive about anything that retaliates against that, to show that in an Internati
Hampshire which will be a town hall, same format as sundays debate here on cnn. Dana bash joins us with the details and political strategy behind this. This basically seems like an obvious dry run for sunday night. One source told me it was a scrimmage. They really want donald trump to kind of retain his Muscle Memory from town halls. He hasnt done as many town halls as Chris Christie or john mccain who basically lived in New Hampshire where a town hall is part of the political tdna there.

Thats what it is, someone sounding the alarm. The call is coming from inside the house. By the way, i should make a point, no Press Briefing today, no Press Briefing yesterday. How many are we up to how many Press Briefings have we had in the last six weeks . We havent had one in two weeks and we had less this summer. I think then its typical, for the record. So its becoming sort of the diminishing Press Briefing. Now, they would argue, hey, look, you had four different chances to ask the president questions today. That is true, and well take it. But of course shouted questions, yeah. Exactly, exactly. Shouted ques
That. Just. Happened. I'm not exactly sure how, and the following won't be any coherent explanation. But the No. 9 Mizzou football team turned an offensive snooze-fest into one of their biggest wins in program history, edging out No. 7 Ohio State at the Cotton Bowl on Friday night. It…
Hey, winning ugly is still winning. Mizzou football's bid for a New Year's Six bowl looked dead in the water for a significant amount of time late in the game. The defense had cooled from past weeks. The offense had trouble turning on the jets. And a 10-win regular season…
