yeah, good morning, dara. certainly mott the kind of reception he expected maybe a week ago. they do know rex tillerson here, indeed, he was, of course, the recipient of one of russia s highest honors, personally from president putin. so they may cut him a little bit more slack than they would other secretaries of state. on the other hand, they will want to show their opposition to u.s. air strikes. and for him, well, he s walking a very fine line between obviously backing those air strikes, those missile strikes, but also trying to achieve one of the central goals of president trump s foreign policy, which was better relations with russia. so difficult for him, too. and remember, he s being pretty tough with russia, saying in the last few days that russia was either complicit in syria s use of chemical weapons or incompetent. remember, he s america s top
here in europe, it starts somewhere else. but it does seem he will potentially raise the number of asylum. f people that can seek and get help. people are feeling pressure towards migrants at the moment and at the same time that pressure from other european leaders p. raising the number of people that country takes in but again as you point out, prime minister walking a very fine line and interesting to see how the so-called brexit would come in to play with this. thank you so much for your reporting there. and coming up here, confirmation, french officials say a wing flap is from missing flight 370. the latest on that in a minute. a county clerk stands her ground and end up in custody. for not giving marriage licenses to same-sex couples. we stop arthritis pain,
i certainly don t support that action yesterday. i think it was very inappropriate at that event. that funeral was held to honor officer ramos and to bring politics to bring issues into that event, i think, was very inappropriate. susan, walking a very fine line there these officers were upset and they have the freedom to express themselves. yes. and the demonstrators have the freedom to demonstrate. i agree. that wasn t the time for that and de blasio is their boss. you can t complain about not being respected by the mayor s office or whatever and show that sort of disrespect. but i m going to disagree with you a little bit and say that i think the false narrative is that somehow you have to choose between the police and the community or between the police and al sharpton. the police are supposed to be part of the community, protecting the community and good police officers should not be supporting aggressive behavior by other police officers any more than law-abiding citizen of
americans to know where he is going and makes it hard to rally behind him. well look. it does mean a mark of distinction. we are not going guns blazing into battle and preparing for potential attacks but i take the point it s a hard sell xlit c politically. one thing that interested me is there s a partisan split we are seeing in the numbers back to the christian science monitor numbers just coming out. 73% of republicans agree that isis and the gains they re making in iraq right now put americans in a threatened position, potentially even on american soil. but on the other hand, 39% of democrats take that view. a big difference in opinion. rodel, why would this be a partisan issue? listen. i think just starting off, the president s walking a very thin line here. i think he s doing it well between trying to protect u.s. interest and not getting drawn into a long-term conflict in iraq. you know, when dave talks about wars, uses words like timid, you
the president is out in min n minneapol minneapolis. trying to raise money and get out of the bubble. he s walking a very delicate line because he knows to amy s point, people don t buy it. he s trying to convince them, you know what, things aren t as bad as you think. what we do is they focus on what i do worry about is that right now we ve got a is republican party that seems to only care about saying no to me. there are so many things in that are delicious. number one is the economy part. and he said this in the town hall, too. things are getting better. look at the statistics, look at the statistics. look at the polling just last week. is the economy going to get better? 27% say get better, stay the same or get worse, 72%. an incredibly tough sell for the president. even though if you ve got a 401(k), you ve done well. george h.w. bush got this in
