This morning we talk to both Sides Campaign managers here live. Just one day before the blockbuster faceoff, full insights, analysis and more. Only on this week. From abc news, its this week. Here now chief anchor George Stephanopoulos. Its been compared to the super bowl. Even mans landing on the moon. Toss the most watched political showdown in american history. Tomorrow night, Hillary Clinton and donald trump. Take a look at the hall. The candidates take the stage 36 hours from now. 100 million americans expected to tune in. Social media will be crackling with commentary for millions more. We have everything you need to get ready. Both campaign managers. Expert insight from our round play spoiler in the race. Our new poll has Hillary Clinton holding at 46 . Donald trump climbing to 44 . His best number since the spring. The battle lines are drawn. Trump has a massive 59 advantage among white men who havent graduated from college. Clinton counters a huge boost from white women who have graduated from College Leading trump by 25 overall, men are with trump clinton by 19 points. Biggest generation gap. 87 of republicans are with trump. 84 of democrats behind clinton. The big question, who will impress the voters still making up their minds . I am not a single issue candidate. Hillary clinton is the most experienced debater in modern history. 34 president ial primary debates under her belt. You are the single biggest liar. You probably are worse than jeb took out 16 rivals. Let me talk. Quiet. Out of times. This debate is one on one. 90 minutes before a tv audience that doesnt like either candidate. We have a debate very shortly right . Trumps biggest challenge close the gap on clinton on world affairs, qualifications and temperament. Ill be respectful of her. She deserves that. Im going to be nice. You never know exactly h well have a lot of people watching. Clintons campaign worried trump will win showing up. Voters expectations may be working against her. 47 think shell win to only 33 to trump. We are joined by Hillary Clintons campaign manager. Thanks for coming in. The expectations may be working against you. Most voters think youre going to win tomorrow night. Your biggest worry . First of all, what needs to capacity to serve as president and commander in chief. We think Hillary Clinton is going to do that. What were concerned about is that there might be some sort of double standard here. Donald trump cant lie on that debate stage and win or even get a passing grade. Donald trump cannot demonstrate that he doesnt have a command of the issues and get a passing grade. So all that were asking is that donald trump show hes ready to be president of the United States. You guys have been pushing that hard, this idea of a double standard and saying its up falseho falsehoods. But they have been clear they think its the job of the moderator to get out of the way and ask questions. All were asking is if donald trump lies, its pointed out. Its unfair to ask for hillary to play traffic cop for trump. Make sure his lies are corrected and present her vision. Isnt that what a debater is supposed to do . I think donald trump is with two candidates who have a depth of experience, rolled out clear concrete plans. And who dont lie. Frankly as donald trump does. Were seeing this as a special circumstance and debate and hillary should be given time to talk about what she wants to do. She shouldnt have to spend the debate correcting the record. You want to talk mostly about Hillary Clinton and her plans. How do you get over the huge hurdle. Overwhelming number of americans who dont see her as honest . First of all, im glad you asked this question because its been out there a lot. Hillary has recognized she has a lot of work to do to earn peoples trust. As we were discussing, we think this debate is a fantastic opportunity for her to present not just what she is going to do to make a difference in peoples lives but she has a long history of getting this done. People can absolutely trust her to make a difference in their lives. They cant trust donald trump to do the same thing. You want to make tomorrow night about donald trump . Well, look, like i said, this is the time for the voters to pick a president. Well have people tuning into this election for the first time. Theyre going to see the two candidates on stage. I think theyre going to see donald trump is unfit, unprepared and over his head. I doubt he will have a command of the issues. I certainly you think hell take care of the debate by himself . Is that what youre expecting . Hillary will have to press the point, challenge him t reveal what his plans are, for example, he has not revealed any plan whatsoever to defeat isis. He says its a secret and that he knows more about it than the generals do. This is a time for him to present those plans. Maybe he will. But well have to see. In a little bit of psychological welfare. You invited mark cuban to the debate. Donald trump said if dopey mark cuban wants to sit on the front flowers alongside of him. Jennifer flowers are said she is going to be there. You know, this debate is supposed to be about issues and how these candidates are going to make a difference in their lives, a time to reveal their plans. If this is what donald trump wants this debate to be about, thats up to him. He is a reality tv star. Very experienced at providing television entertainment. The presidency is not about entertainment. Its about serious decisions. So you dont care we just want hillary to have an opportunity to explain. This show as dead heat, 46, to 44. Hillary clinton was quoted this week addressing the polling numbers and the long case shes made against donald trump. Heres what she said. Now having said all this, why arent i 50 points ahead you might ask. Well, the choice for working families has never been clearer. I need your help to get donald what is the answer to that question . Maybe not 50 points ahead. This is such a close race against a candidate you said is the most unqualified in american history. These contests are always very close. In fact, we put out a memo in early august saying this was going to tighten up in your own poll you didnt actually show hillary losing any support, it was donald trump consolidating some of his base. I think we can win this election by a wide margin. Hillar to have to work hard to get the message out. Theres a lot of noise out there. The other thing in your poll that will come home to roost is that 60 of voters didnt think donald trump is fit to be commander in chief. They think hillary is going to be better fighting for the middle class. Shell be better at dealing with a crisis. Thats where we welcome this debate. An opportunity for hillarys qualifications to shine. At the same time, hes getting more republicans vote obama. Why . It depends. Obviously shifts happening demographically. Hillary is getting more republican women than ever before. Winning them by double digits. President obama lost College Educated women. So theres a lot of shifts going on. But we feel very confident that we have the coalition in place to win. Theres a lot of undecided voters. In many ways, were just starting. This race is just beginning. The candidate is coming up, gary johnson, is he taking votes from Hillary Clinton right now . Hes taking votes from both candidates but your own poll showed his numbers are dropping. I dont think that either the Third Party Candidates are going to factor in the head to head for this race. This is fundamentally a race between Hillary Clinton and donald trump. And i think youll see that movement as we get closer to election day and certainly after will see a tremendous difference between the two candidates and i think theyre going to be very concerned about the threat of donald trump actually getting into the oval office and voters understand if they put their vote to one of the Third Party Candidates it could at some point make it easier for donald trump and i dont think anybody voting for any of these other candidates wants that to happen. Whats a win tomorrow night . I think a win is hillary having the opportunity to speak directly to the voters about the big difference she can make create jobs, get the cost of health care under control, help families of four in college. We saw at the convention when she had an opportunity to speak directly to the voters, talk about her history, how this campaign is a mission to help kids and families, shes going to do very well. Thanks very much. Thanks. We are joined by Donald Trumps campaign manager. Welcome back to this week. You heard robby define a victory. Whats a victory for donald showing america that hes ready to be president and commander in chief on day one. I notice from the Washington Post abc poll george just released the number one and two issues are economy and terrorism and donald trump is leading Hillary Clinton on who you trust more on both issues. We certainly hope this debate tomorrow night will be about substantive issues. I have to push back a little bit on my colleague robby there, donald trump is out there eve he was in five or six swing states just this week and every time it was a policy speech. Tomorrow will be nothing new for him. Its Hillary Clinton and her super pacs that have run a quarter of a billion dollars of negative ads about donald trump and she refuses to spend time talking about issues. He talked about the double standard. Hes afraid donald trump will be able to get away with lying. Thats what he said. Your response . I think they are really afraid Hillary Clinton is not a very good candidate. Much like her and according to your own poll dont trust her. Donald trump is actually leading Hillary Clinton on the attribute of who is more honest and trustworthy in your poll that came out this morning. I think theyre worried about many things. Hillary clinton should have been in the much better position. Shes not known for her abundance of self awareness or being nimble ory sell yent. They never saw barack obama in 2008 or took Bernie Sanders seriously. They certainly never that trump comeback. On the issue of honesty, the independent factor looked at 250 statements of each candidate. They have 48 pants on fire. The worst kind of lie they said. Comments by donald trump, only 6 for clinton. 89 false statements by donald trump and only 27 for clinton. If youre running against a clinton, veracity is always on the table. This is a woman whose five immunity. She seems very fond of the 5th amendment including her attorney who was granted immune tip and able to represent her as an attorney. Hillary clintons casual relationship with the truth is well known to americans. Im sure well see it on full display tomorrow night. I dont appreciate campaigns thinking it is the job of the media to go and be these virtual factcheckers and these debate moderators should do their bidding. They picked we thought he did a great job but they didnt like the fact Hillary Clinton was asked about her email server. Thats not matt lauers fault. Hell do a good job tomorrow night. Its not his job its not what your boss has said. Donald trump said lester holt is under tremendous pressure when hes a registered republican. Hes certainly going to be a good debate moderator in that i debate next week will be asking questions benefiting the voter. Voters deserve and they indeed expect a good debate on the issues. This will be the first time americans will see donald trump and Hillary Clinton on the same stage and make their choice based on what they see and what is said. I can understand why the clinton camp is nervous because donald trump has got great present stature. Newt gingrich said donald trump is the best debater seen. The babe ruth of debating. He shows up and swings and does a great job. Hes a brilliant businessman who has a great record and were very much looking forward to tomorrow night. We saw the tweet about Gennifer Flowers. Why put out that tweet . No. The question is why does mark cuban has to say im going to be there for the takedown of donald tweet . He wants to remind people that hes a great counter puncher. They started this by saying they would give a front row seat to mark cuban who was very favorable towards donald trump. He had great criticisms of Hillary Clinton in her Education Plan and now all of a sudden for team clinton. This debate should not be about what billionaire could Hillary Clinton put in the front row but how do we defeat radical islamic terrorism. Better off on the obama you want jennifgennifer flow there . She has a right to be there if somebody else gives her a ticket. But i do think also it shows the poor judgment, lack of nimbleness of the Clinton Campaign that they put a statement out last night about Gennifer Flowers being invited that it shows how easily provoked donald trump is no, you just put out a statement about you talked about mr. Trump being out on the stump this week. He said africanamerican communities are in the worst shape. President obama responded in an interview. I think most 8yearolds will tell you that whole slavery thing wasnt very good for black people. Jim crow wasnt very good for black people. So africanamerican communities really in the worst shape . Its too bad the president is so glib about these glib about race issues . No. No, george, he was very glib about referring to an 8yearold. What donald trump is talking about in his speeches is rebuilding the inner cities, bringing more jobs there, is tackling full on poverty and joblessness and homelessness and crime. There are 3,000 people shot in chicago this year. 500 dead. And were not going to have a so i think that its very i really applaud donald trump for having this conversation in and about the inner cities. He went to a black church in detroit several weeks ago. You dont see Many Republican candidates doing that running for president. I appreciate the fact that president obama has his perspective but i think donald trump should also be applauded for actually trying to make a difference in these communities. One of the issues the afri Africanamerican Community has had with donald trump is t hes only been asked once since last week. Do you expect it to come up tomorrow night . If it does, will mr. Trump apologize to president obama . Donald trump stated friday how he feels about this issue. He said three very chris hmrisp important things. Those are his words. I expect he would say them again. I dont know if it will come up. Thats up to lester holt. No apology . Thats a very personal thing. What donald trump has said is the people who raised this at the beginning should apologize. He wasnt running against Hillary Clinton in 2008. He wasnt running against be ram obama in 2008. That was Hillary Clinton and according to Hillary Clinton and her campaign did not bring this up. Really . The volunteer guy in iowa saying yeah it started with him. The former news chief in d. C. Saying Sid Blumenthal asked him to investigate obamas ties and send a reporter to kenya. Donald trump was busy being a successful businessman that year. Hillary clinton never saw obama coming. So i guess they resorted to desperate tactics. Thank for coming in. Thanks for having me.

Oikos triple zero, as we said, he wont be on the debate stage tomorrow night by gary johnson could determine who wins the white house. His 5 in our poll is greater that the two point difference johnson doing even better, take a look. In virginia, 8 . Colorado and iowa, 10 and wisconsin 11 . Johnson is on the ballad in all 50 states. The first Party Candidate to do so since 1956. The former new mexico governor could tip the balance in key states. Well talk to johnson after the break. I just took new mucinex clear and cool. Urst.

And oralb delivers a clinically proven superior clean versus sonicare diamondclean. My mouth feels super clean oralb. Know youre getting a superior clean. Im never going back to a manual brush. We could brag about whats in new light fit yogurt. But wed rather talk about whats not in it. Ragging . New light fit. Cant see it. Cant taste it. But theres so much more to it. Heres how benefiber . Works. Inside us are trillions of good microflora that support digestive health. The prebiotic fiber in benefiber . Nourishes them. And what helps them, helps you. Do you think if you were able to get on the debate stage, that you could pull even with trump and clinton in these polls . I do. And it wouldnt have anything to do with my debate performance either. Based on that. Thats for the whole debate and not there was gary johnson earlier this week. Libertarian candidate for president nominee right there. Thank you for joining us this morning. What was that about . Well, the fact that 65 of americans dont even know who i am, so what do i need to do if i was in the president ial debates . I would just need to show up and a lot of people would become aware that i am actually a candidate. George, i just find it incredibly interesting that im polling when he was allowed in the debates and i would like to point out to everybody, president ial Debates Commission made up of republicans and democrats that have no intention whatsoever of seeing anyone other than a democrat or republican on the stage. In our poll youre not polling higher than ross perot. Youre 5 . In our poll ross perot was at 6 or higher. You said you couldnt win without a debate. That its quote, game over if you dont get in the well, it still is an ongoing process to get to 15 . Your poll is incredibly low and i recognize polls. Hey, you know, youre at 15 in the polls one day but 5 , wow, this is out of the blue. If in fact, it is an accurate poll, then, you know, who is to say. But those numbers that you were quoting earlier, you know, among independents. Im tied for lead among millennials. Active military personnel. I am leading among active military personnel. So nobody is talking about balancing the federal budget. Nobody is talking about the threat of a runaway government. Nobody is talking about refo reforming medicaid or medicare. Nobody is talking about really black lives individual liberty. Freedom. Isnt that what the constitution is all about . And the military interventions. We do involve ourselves in regime change and as a result of that the world is not a more safe place. Neither trump or clinton believe in free markets. I believe that would lead to more u. S. Jobs, growing economy. Youre hearing this concern from trump. Hearing it from Bernie Sanders and others and tim kaine had this to say drawing a comparison to 2000. Against the ticket is the Al Gore George w. Bush race in 2000. The Third Party Candidacy of rath nader and if gore had been president we probably wouldnt have had a war in iraq. What do you say to those who think youre electing donald trump . I say the people who are voting gary johnson. Look, i take great pride in the fact that i am actually offering an alternative here. Smaller government, personal freedom. Balancing the federal budget, looking at medicaid and medicare. Look, vote for gary johnson is a vote for gary johnson. 50 of people right now registering to vote are registering as independent. How is it that we only have two candidates that can represent you know, i dont buy it and im going to sleep well at the end of all this giving people a first vote, not a second vote, not a lesser of two evils but actually people that are going to be able to vote their conscience and vote for real change and thats how youre going to change things in this country. Vote for the person that you believe in. But if you quad drubl your vote youre not going to get elected president. Either trump or clinton will be well, they both do. Look, donald trump, immigration, i think we should be embracing immigration. We should not build a wall across the border. Hillarys answer to everything is growing government. Taxes are going to go up. Neither one of them are talking about reforming the entitlements and neither one of them support free trade. That theyre both claiming that theyre against it but hillary, day shes for it. Trump, going to force apple to make their ipads and iphones in the United States. Trump, he wants to bring back water border, torture or worse. Havent we faught wars over not doing that kind of thing . We are the beacon on the hill. I dont think life in america has ever been better. We get along with each other better. We communicate better with one another. Our kids are smarter than ever. We do have issues. Issues, discrimination, black lives do matter. Theyre getting shot at the rate of six times that of whites. We have had our heads in the sand with regard to the discrimination that does exist and george, ill tell you ive had my head in the sand on this issue but i think were going to come to grips with this faster, better than ever before and back to the fact that we do communicate. The internet. On the internet with legislation thats going to try and restrict our abilities to compete equally with one another. The government is for sale. Let me ask you one final question. You said youre for free markets, against government regulation. This week a comment you made in 2011, you said we have to think about Climate Change as a long term issue. Heres what you said. I think that we should. And the long term view is that in billions of years the sun is going to encompass the earth, right . So Global Warming is in our future. So thats that does that mean we dont do anything about it now . No, george, cmon. Cant we have humor once in a while. That is long term. At one point africa and south america separated and i am talking now about the earth and the fact that we have existed for billions of years. And will going forward. The fact that we have to inhabit other planets. The future of the human race is space exploration. No, we should be prudent with the environment. We care about the environment. Look, clean air, clean water. I think the epa exists to protect us against individuals, groups, corporations that will do us harm. Pollution is harm. Governor johnson thanks for joining for having me on. Our powerhouse round table weighs in next. Announcer this week with George Stephanopoulos brought to you by bp. T come in a box.

Tomorrow night theyll display differences on policy and past by the messages the candidates dont intend to send. There was al gores heavy sighing and eye rolls during his debate with george w. Bush and that lurch into bushs personal space. George h. W. Bush checked his watch during his 1992 town hall with bill clinton and ross perot. That first televised debate in Richard Nixons sweat against a crisp and cool jfk. So will tomorrow night be scored on style or substance . Should the moderator call outer errors an lies .

Only nicorette mini has a patented fast dissolving formula. It starts to relieve sudden cravings fast. Every great why needs a great how. My advice i have for him since hes been my friend for 28 years is to be himself. Be yourself and explain what motivates you. The key thing i think is to be yourself. Its important for him to control the tempo of the debate. Its not about knowing more is smirk a lot at his answers. A big smile on my face and then sing it with a smile on your face. Everybody has got advice for the candidates tomorrow night. Lets talk about it on our round table. Joined by matthew dowd, maggie from the New York Times. Jamal simmons, republican strategist and editor of the nation. I want to get to the advice. Lets begin with the threshold question. We know people are going to probably 100 Million People and we know in the past generally debates have tended to reinforce where the race is going rather than make a big difference. Is tomorrow night different . I think tomorrow night has the capacity to be different. 2004 george w. Bush did very badly. The race went to tie. And carey did well. But it this trades on such small margins, between zero and five or six points. Any movement by two, three points, its pretty much set for 85 of the country but that movement can make a difference. The margins matter this year . Thats right. We remember the moments but theyre not one on moments. Obama won that first debate and the other two. The race went back to where it was. This is playing for a number of undecided voters are who will be turning in. We know a ton about the candidates. The public knows a ton. The x factor, i think two, one is the first woman on a debate stage in a general election. I dont know how thats going to play for an audience that is still low information and just tuning in. Trump has never done a one on one debate and that cant be understated. In the primary debates he was one of ten and he would recede 90 minutes. One opponent. One moderator on the stage. He has also been on our tvs, on every screen for years. So has Hillary Clinton. These candidates are in our soup. Theyre everywhere. Theyre like two cups of water that are already full. The American People know these people. We have been with them a long time. Which is why its going to be very hard for anyones opinion of them i think to change. Its hard to pour into that full cup. Now, what could change, why we have debates anyway. Were just about policy or iq, we would give them the sat. We know a president is going to face something unexpected and at some point maybe the fate of the country will lie in that persons hands. Are they strong enough, do they have the strength and character and stability is what were looking for. Theres a democratic purpose to debates, to inform the voters. I was structure by something Kellyanne Conway said. It seems to me that the role of juniorlist is not to fact check which is a vital role. Is to say that journalists are stenographers. Not those who hold the powerful accountable. Whoever they may be. I think were at a very dangerous place in our country where journalism is a rewrite we have talked about media malpractice. Theres been Good Journalism in the last months but it is vital that the moderator hold the candidates accountable, particularly donald trump if its not left right. It is not about liberalism. Let me ask the question why isnt that the job of the candidate on the stage, Hillary Clintons . It is. Of course people are this is cats versus dogs, lions, versus tigers. Everybody wants to watch spectacle. The job of Hillary Clinton will be tough if donald trump has done what hes done the last few weeks, the im not crazy tour. Im somebody you can trust to do this. If he is calm and relax and does this job for 90 minutes people will say maybe hes not crazy. Her job will show people that she can be transparent. Ive been in the most elite rooms for the last couple of decades and im going to fight for police accountability, to make sure we hav sure debtfree college. Plant her feet for the people to vote for her. Advice from the round table . Two points. One is we do need to figure out a way to discover a common set of facts. Two sets does not help our country go to a place of common good. We need a common set of facts. I heard many peoples advice that said the candidates need to be themselves. They need to not be themselves. Donald trump has to figure out a way to be less visceral and Hillary Clinton has to figure out to be more cerebral bral. One has to figure out how to show their brain and the other their heart. I think she needs to be passionate. Passionate about the issues to speak to the country which still feels shes cool and collected and cold and as you said, i there who have not yet come onboa onboard. She needs to show shes enjoying and not get defined by donald trump. Not get in the weeds. I think for donald trump, the problem is lets be honest, hes not going to show up as Woodrow Wilson but if he shows up as trump 2. 0 or trump 9. 0 hes going to get a lot of placability. Candidates but the voters. We keep talking about style and all of that. Were picking the leader of the government. 70 of americans think were on the wrong track. Its going to be very hard for Hillary Clinton to make the case that shes changed. We can talk about cool and cerebral and those things and theyre all important but what about us . Where is Hillary Clinton going to take us thats different than the direction were going in now . Trump is change. He hopes to talk about i want to bring this question of honesty and what our job is. Back to you maggie. Times got attention last week when they called out a trump lie on the front page of saturdays paper. Another article doing that this week. Whose job is it and is the Hillary Clinton team right when they complain about the double standard saying voters think shes dishonest because the media hasnt done its job . Its not the medias job to run a campaign against donald what the Clinton Campaign argument is. I heard robby saying this would be unfair if. I think when a campaign sounds like it is complaining that often its not a winning posture. It is the medias job to point out absence of facts and in the case of the word lie as applied to donald trump, if youre not going to say a lie about saying that the president of the United States is not a citizen, then i dont know where else the world would trump represents a unique challenge for reporters. He does. I used to watch when i was a kid. Hes like the classic character who sells potion in the town. By the time you realize hes on to the next town and cant hold him accountable. People have to zero in on the one or two things that matter about donald trump. Map. Will he go at it . People see donald trump as more honest than Hillary Clinton. That is a false equivalence. Excuse me. The point being when he says things like, you know, americans in our inner cities are in the worst shape ever, he speaks in hyperbole because in todays media culture thats how you get attention. If youre living in a city crimeridden and your kids are failing in school, for you, this is the worst time ever. You th that . I think most people understand what he is saying. We dont have to settle for the way things are now. Our inner cities especially, and these are Little Islands of poverty and despair and more of the same is failing those people and we need to do something about it. Yes, i think people understand what hes saying. I think the president called him out pretty well. Trump said africanamericans are living in the worst times. An 8yearold would say what about slavery. Weve talked on the show about media malpractice. There are different media in this doesnt. The Washington Post is doing remarkable work exposing trumps university. The charity. But i think the role of journalism is to call out lies. I think this country went to war in iraq because a media failed to do just that. It has been so trump poses unique challenges but we have been there before and i do think the role of whether the media has been calling the trump out consistently which they have done much more of in months. In months . No i disagree and whether voters are care. Theres a difference between the New York Times and cable tv. Lets be honest. Whats happened to our media on cable tv and it is acknowledged now i think there is a conflict between media as a Profit Center and media as as a factual institution. Each part want the media its not a left right wing. The campaign will be decided by Hillary Clinton and donald trump. I think the biggest failing so far in the last two weeks is the fact we have only two candidates. I agree with gary johnson. Hes on 50 ballots and polling better than ross perot did. Hes not polling better than ross perot. When he got bacin in 92 in the summertime. When you take a look at the race. The fact that the Debate Commission stacked by the two Political Parties rigged it in such a way they cant get on stage it doesnt help the country. The debates used to be run by the vote of women voters. I think we need a debate with the Third Party Candidates who rise to 2 or 5 . However as Bernie Sanders said protest vote. Too much at stake. Were talking about mark cuban and Gennifer Flowers. There should be a debate with the Third Party Candidates because you need those ideas in our bloodstream. There should be a debate about the fact we have American Cities with people on the streets literally trying to burn them down and nobody is talking about that in the context of the debate. The Clinton Campaign can do more on that issue and set it out. Gary johnson talked about it today. Just about out of night . If so, who will it be . No. Who decides winners. Debates i think Hillary Clinton will take the sort of solid four, five point lead she had before the conventions. I dont know who the winner would be. I guarantee they will both blame lester holt in one direction or the other. We have seen trump on one on ones doesnt do well with the president of mexico. He didnt talk about the wall when he went to the church. But later trump wins the hes like a twitter thug. He goes out there well end on that point. A lot will depend on what happens on social media and the days after. Up next, the diplomat taking center stage in new york. He may be the most colorful diplomat on the stage. Minister. Called president obama a part canyon. Compared Hillary Clinton to a nurse and avoid meeting donald trump. He was here this week and we sat down for an interview just as the ceasefire in syria was falling apart and Syrian Government troops backed by russia launched a fierce assault on aleppo. Can anything be done . On the face it looks satirical that you got attacks in aleppo while w conversations about ceasefires. I think its vital we continue to talk. For what purpose though . Any chance at all that the russians can be persuaded to do the right thing by syria and the world, call off assads troops, stop the carnage and the bombing. It gets to the question of what kind of game Vladimir Putin is playing not only in syria but all over the world. American members of Congress Says russia is trying to influence our elections here. Russia feels and this will be no surprise to you that as putin has said, that the collapse of the soviet union was one of the great disasters of the 20th century and theres a spirit of assertiveness, a desire for russia to have prestige on the worlds stage. Ive got no problem with russia having prestige. Thinking the kremlin is powerful. If they use that power and influence to good ends. In one way they can do that. Right now is tell assad to stop the bombing in aleppo. They have the ability to make this happen. Is Vladimir Putin showing up the west . You know, if you look back at events in syria, the decisions of my country, of your country, not to intervene, theres no question we left that door open. We failed to have the imagination to think that was what putin might do. We have now got to deal with it. Lets talk about brexit. Youre foreign secretary because of that vote. Is it really going to happen . Yes, it is. The clearly that brexit means brexit and were going to make a success of it. A lot of people look at the vote and say the themes you emphasize is, control of trade, of our borders are exactly the themes that donald trump is hitting here. I think this is sort of false analogy between brexit and events in american politics or anywhere else in the world. I dont want to get dragged into the american election. Brexit was about demackcy. Barrel 43 years ago to the commission of the european union. So weve got a chance to take back control of our schedules, our world trade organization, how we run our terrorists and do deals. Youre familiar with john oliver . Let me give you more of britains new chief diplomat. Hes referred to cannibalism. Which im not going to repeat. Compared Vladimir Putin to dabi. Hes huge here but i think hes hilarious. But i dont think well i may be wrong. I dont think hes as much watched in the u. K. Maybe thats good for you. He calls you the least diplomatic diplomat in existence and everybody is looking back at the yeah, yeah. I know exactly what youre going to say. No. No. No. No. No. No. Lets go through it. No. We can have the recitation i wont recite it. Obama. The shame and embarrassment and the gasps. First of all, all those little nuggets are taken out of context. Number two, actually the amazing thing is people are so not interested. Nobody has asked you for an apology. Not a sausage. You havent had to trim your sales at all . No. I think it would be a m try to do so because if you play much cricket . Do you play . Not since oxford. If you try to do a very cautious stroke in my experience you always get out anyway. You might as well try and hit the ball if you can. You are back in the city of your birth. I have to ask you about your last visit here. I cant believe its true. A little girl on the street mistakes you for donald trump . No. No. She wasnt a little girl. She must have been about 20 or having my photograph taken and she said, whatever, gee is that trump. There you go. It is im afraid true. Very hard thing to live down. But that is not a comment on the u. S. Election. I got it. Thank you for joining us. Thank you. My pleasure.
