secretaries have called upon china to do more. mattis did at the shangri-la conference but russia has to change its behavior. we re not so good at getting russia to change their behavior these days because the president clearly has quite an ambivalent relationship to russia. as we saw in megyn kelly s interview with president putin, president putin says he has nothing to do with anything. we ll talk morgue about that right after the break. thank you so much for helping us kick it off. in manchester last night, a show of courage and defiance in the city still recovering from its own recent tragedy. somewhere over the rainbow just 13 days after the suicide attack outside her concert, ariana grande and a star-studded lineup including coldplay, justin bieber, miley cyrus and others all performing for 50,000 fans in a stadium.
