Of the past in the House Of Commons . Well have the latest on the dress code which could leave some breathing easier. Welcome to the programme. I am in washington, Christian Fraser is in london. The pentagon is concerned that north Koreas Nuclear programme has advanced so quickly, they are no longer able to monitor it effectively. Intelligence experts believe that, very soon, pyongyang will have a Nuclear Weapon capable of reaching the western seaboard of the United States. That is forcing a rethink in the white house. The president recently suggested chinas attempts to put pressure on pyongyang has failed. So what is the right way forward . Nobody wants to consider a Military Option but one is being prepared nonetheless. What we see now is really two fundamental things have changed. One is the threat is much more immediate now and so its clear that we cant repeat the same approach, failed approach, of the past. And the second is the recognition that previous approaches have not worked
The United States is heading into what pandemic expert bill gates says will be a very difficult fall. But trump is not preparing the population for that reality. Instead, he is sticking to his discredited script saying the virus is disappearing. The same thing he tried to say seven or eight months ago. You know, reaching for new ways to describe this aberration of a presidency. They will say he is the liar in chief or conspiracy theorist in chief. Here is the new chief. Superspreader in chief. What a 2020 title. These headlines say he is a superspreader of the virus, of disinformation, and of anxiety about the election since he wont accept the outcome.

I am thankful at a time like this for beat reporters who cover all of these agencies. For example, the postal service, who are uncovering examples

You may know a little bit of what im talking about. States locking in Donald Trumps loss with concerns rising over Political Violence and major news involving the trump doj investigating a member of the biden family. Brandnew. Honestly. This is a lie and busier than the typical december in a president ial transition. We have all 50 states certifying Election Results locking in president elect bidens victory. This is the legal deadline that we have been reporting on with wisconsin today, the final state to certify. Thats the reality tonight. That is the context for some of the increasingly extreme reactions by President Trump and many republica
And check your gun at the door. At the nras national convention, as the president and Vice President get ready to address their progun supporters, unhappy gun owners are bringing a ban on bringing their own guns to the event. And promise of a correction from Rudy Giuliani that could come any minute who ignite add firestorm with comments about what the president knew about payments to Stormy Daniels. The headlines after giuliani spoke were brutal. Legal analysts suggesting he may well have put trump in more legal jeopardy when he said trump repaid cohen for the daniels hush money. The president came out today and said giuliani would be issuing a statement and added that when it comes to paying daniels, giuliani doesnt know what hes talking about. I will tell you this when rudy made the statement, rudys great, but rudy had just started, and he wasnt totally familiar with everything, and rudy we love rudy, hes a special guy. What he really understands is that this a witchhunt. Hell get hi
