Sits down with the bbc to talk about his latest work in Washington A Sprawling tribute to those who fight for freedom. I am katty kay in washington Christian Fraser is in london. The pentagon says the intelligence is compelling it has identified planes and also the hangar in which it says the Syrian Government may be preparing another Chemical Attack. The white house said to President Assad he will pay a heavy price if the weapons are used. In april, a Sarin Gas Attack on the rebel held town of Khan Sheikhun killed at least 87 people, many of them were children. The attack was launched from this same base. Today the syrian president Bashar Al Assad denied any new preparations were under way. And perhaps in defiance of that us threat, he paid a visit to a russian airbase in the west of the country even climbing into the cockpit of this sukhoi fighter jet. Not the image of a man cowed by american threats. A short while ago the Us Ambassador to the un, nikki haley issued this statement ab
the camera and only gave the afp a portion of the interview. it s not clear whether it happened or not because how can you verify video? we don t know whether those dead children were the dead at all? let me bring in the british soldier, director of doctors under fire and adviser to an organization investigating this chemical weapons attack. welcome, sir. hi. good afternoon. so you say there s no question that there is sarin gas that was used in this attack on the innocent civilians and that they were dropped from assad s bombs. how are you so sure? well, i think, first of all, president assad doesn t know what his generals are doing
for any of the encounters for which fox news and bill o reilly have paid $13 million in settlements to people who were left alone in a room with bill o reilly. but today the new york times, donald trump said i don t think bill did anything wrong. and that sounds like an absolutely true statement from the president of the united states who seemingly believes that sexual assault is a sport and not a crime. the president believes all of the worst things described by bill o reilly s accusers are not wrong. donald trump doesn t think there is anything wrong with sexual harassment or sexual assault. and so today an admitted sexual assaulter comes to the defense of a sexual harasser, and the defender did it surround by all of his enablers in the oval office. ana marie cox is back with us. and so when the president says i don t think bill o reilly did anything wrong, he is telling the truth, isn t he? he probably is. you know, it s actually sexual violence awareness and
for half of the palmulation, even though he s supposed to be the president for all of us. he stands by bill o reilly who has had six women, according to the new york times, complain of sexual harassment. two of them have recordings about things i may not even be able to say on the show. really vile explicit stuff. in wendy s case, he s accused of depriving her a job to which she was otherwise entitled pch and this president of ours stands behind bill o reilly. it s disgusting. the president read this exhaustive new york times report that includes your sfory. you were one of the few people who were able to fully tell her story because you haven t entered into legal agreement not to. and today the president of the united states said i don t think bill did anything wrong. well, i think that really this national discourse that we re having here is training a small group of men of a certain generation who believe in traditional gender roles to the point that women are sexual objects n
taken them off the scent until they heard the words susan rice. and suddenly they think that needs to be investigated. this is such smoke and mirror, such deflection. you know, it goes back to even executive 12333. at the core of this, lawrence, the u.s. intelligence committee does not collect on u.s. persons. the fact that our president doesn t understand that, and yet keeps looking for more creative ways to bring this claim back, whether it s first president obama, now it s susan rice. it is absurd. there is just no evidence of this. and, look, it s not just susan rice, just to be clear that would have had to do this there is a whole host of people that go in and actually make the change. for them to agree to an illegal order like that, it just would never happen. and yet we have this president that in spite of all the evidence to the contrary, despite all the laws that prohibit this, continues to make these claims. and of course no mention of russia. nothing about russia. and i
