This is new day weekend with Victor Blackwell and christi paul. Beautiful start to the day across atlanta. Good morning to you. And this morning, were going to balance the happy talk and the sunny optimism were getting from the white house, with the reality in the race for this vaccine. Researchers around the world are rushing to develop this working coronavirus vaccine. President trump, though, formally unveiled his administrations operation warp speed. Its objective is to finish developing and then to manufacture and distribute a proven coronavirus vaccine, as fast as possible. Again, wed love to see if we could do it prior to the end of the year. I think were going to have some very good results coming in very quickly. You hear the president there doubling down on his goal for a vaccine by the end of the year. Its an aggressive time line, most Health Experts are claiming its just unrealistic at best. Potentially dangerous at worse. More on my scientists believe overpromising could b

We have got an inside look at how President Trump operates and how a white house should operate. The thing that general kelly do is not try to change donald trump. Plus, Senate Republicans Health Care Effort crashed and burned. Can a bipartisan solution rise from the ashes. I dont think its ever until we fix health care. Theres also a possibility for a bipartisan traditional kmujts over the next six months to do something. This is mtp daily and it starts right now. Good evening.

Under fire for his tweets immediately after the lonz terror attack. In the uk they have identified the terrorists. We do believe we know who they are. Weve made a number of arrests. And some blockbuster testimony, james comey set to testify this week, as senators from both sides of the aisle game out their questions. Jim comey deserves to have his, in effect, day in court since the president has disparaged him so much. Nbc news exclusive, russian president Vladimir Putin on michael flynn, election meddling and whether hes got any dirt on President Trump. Translator well this is a load of nonsense. We begin with President Trump demanding that the courts approve his travel ban and not the one currently headed to the Supreme Court, but the first one, the one that was blocked all the way back in march and all of this is in the wake of the terrorist attack on London Bridge that left seven people dead over the weekend. Isis is now claiming official responsibility. And ive got a great team he
The alexandria chief. Thank you, chief. Were not going folks, were not going to answer any questions at this point because as the chief pointed out, this is an active, ongoing investigation. We call it crime scene hot because were collecting information and evidence. It would be premature for us to respond any further. In an hour and a half, we will come back together and give you an update on what we can speak to and perhaps answer some questions at that time. Were done right now.

Romanias president in the rose garden. It will be the first time President Trump comments on james comeys testimony. Well take you there live when it happens. Our word of the day . Vindication. At least thats what the president is claiming. Complete and total vindication, as a matter of fact. He tweeted this morning two minutes before what would have been his longest stretch of silence on twitter in years. But not everybody agrees with his hot take. Only from the mind of donald trump could anybody see what happened yesterday. Very small mind. Not only did he vindicate him and hes a leaker, he lied. In effect the president just said comey purged himself. What i want to know is what was vindicated . His lies or his misstatements . Im not quite sure. This is headline after headline is calling the president s credibility into question. The words liar or lies are topping front pages across the country today. But trump is already taking steps to strike back. Sources tell nbc news that his at
