:00:07. > :00:09.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, and this is Outside Source.

:00:10. > :00:20.Blink and you'll miss it at the White House.

:00:21. > :00:28.The New York Times is reporting that the president has fired Anthony

:00:29. > :00:33.Scaramucci, his new director of indications who was only hard ten

:00:34. > :00:39.days ago. The Islamic State group has launched an -- on the Iraqi

:00:40. > :00:48.embassy on Kabul. We will look at the -- and where it leaves America's

:00:49. > :00:54.position in Afghanistan. This is Venezuela, the fallout from the

:00:55. > :01:00.weekend's election which was to elect a constituent to the assembly.

:01:01. > :01:05.Here is the president. With the hurricane example you have set

:01:06. > :01:10.today, more than 8 million votes by the sovereign people of Venezuela.

:01:11. > :01:15.We will also talk about Apple getting caught up in an argument

:01:16. > :01:23.around censorship in China. It is polled various VPNs, facilities that

:01:24. > :01:48.help people get around censorship in China. We will explain that as well.

:01:49. > :01:50.Things are moving at speed in Washington, DC.

:01:51. > :01:52.In the past hour the White House confirmed Anthony Scaramucci

:01:53. > :01:54.will leave role as White House communications director

:01:55. > :01:59.to give chief of staff John Kelly a "Clean Slate".

:02:00. > :02:10.Bear in mind he hasn't officially started the job. That was slated to

:02:11. > :02:17.happen in August. This was the first we've heard of this story in the New

:02:18. > :02:24.York Times. All this means we are paying very close attention to this

:02:25. > :02:30.feed coming in from Washington, and this is where Sarah Huckerby

:02:31. > :02:37.Sanders, the White House spokesperson will be. Here she is.

:02:38. > :02:42.Let's listen to what she has to say. Good afternoon, everyone. I would

:02:43. > :02:51.like to bring out a national security adviser and Treasury

:02:52. > :03:01.Secretary to discuss their response to Nicolas Maduro's regimes actions

:03:02. > :03:10.in Venezuela. As always, your favourite time of day, I will come

:03:11. > :03:17.back and take your questions. I thought it might be best to read the

:03:18. > :03:21.President's statement. The Trump administration has called on

:03:22. > :03:26.Venezuela to respect... We will keep an eye on that but the person we

:03:27. > :03:32.really want to hear from is Sarah Sanders, not speaking yet so as soon

:03:33. > :03:37.as she does we will turn to that. Let's bring in Barbara Platt Usher,

:03:38. > :03:41.live from Washington. I guess if we have learnt anything from the

:03:42. > :03:46.statement from the White House, it is that when Mr Apple was hired, Mr

:03:47. > :03:54.Trump didn't intend to get rid of his previous chief of staff. Either

:03:55. > :03:59.that or he didn't tend to get rid of him in the way it happened because

:04:00. > :04:06.Mr Trump has not said anything about the way Mr Scaramucci handled that.

:04:07. > :04:11.Mr Scaramucci was quite upfront and abrasive about that relationship and

:04:12. > :04:16.ultimately gave an interview to the New Yorker where he spoke about the

:04:17. > :04:23.former chief of staff, Reince Priebus, with very vulgar language

:04:24. > :04:30.full of profanities and that became the big story, ultimately leading to

:04:31. > :04:33.Reince Priebus's departure. We knew Mr Trump might have wanted him to

:04:34. > :04:44.depart anyway but perhaps not in that way. What we understand from

:04:45. > :04:49.some American media is that the new chief of staff, John Kelly, who is

:04:50. > :04:53.hoping to impose more discipline on the White House, so that may be one

:04:54. > :05:02.of the main factors in terms of white mistress Scaramucci is leaving

:05:03. > :05:06.now. Let's try to push the colourful characters to one side, what are the

:05:07. > :05:10.practical consequences of having this much chopping and changing

:05:11. > :05:19.within the President's working environment? The big answer to that,

:05:20. > :05:25.it means things cannot get done. You have the White House working with

:05:26. > :05:31.Congress to pass legislation and execute policy in agencies but the

:05:32. > :05:36.team in the White House, the staff and the National Security Council,

:05:37. > :05:39.are the ones who helped to push it forward and coordinate it and that

:05:40. > :05:45.needs some clear direction from the White House, it means everybody

:05:46. > :05:49.should be speaking from the same page and have a tour here in message

:05:50. > :05:56.and it needs a strong chief of staff. If the West Wing is riven by

:05:57. > :06:01.factional fighting and different ideologies and people who can speak

:06:02. > :06:04.their minds freely and wander into the oval office and tell the

:06:05. > :06:10.president what they think without going through a chain of command, it

:06:11. > :06:15.becomes difficult to do that and we saw last week the most chaotic

:06:16. > :06:21.example when that kind of infighting which had been widely reported not

:06:22. > :06:27.just between Anthony Scaramucci and Reince Priebus but between other

:06:28. > :06:32.factions, nursed out into the open. The story was broken by the New York

:06:33. > :06:38.Times. I want to pull off a tweet from a couple of hours ago, there

:06:39. > :06:42.are two types of nonfamily members entrance word, permanent and

:06:43. > :06:47.instruments. Sometimes instruments think they are permanent. There was

:06:48. > :06:54.no questioning Mr Scaramucci's commitment to Mr Trump yet it has

:06:55. > :06:59.come to nothing. It's interesting, we understand he was brought in

:07:00. > :07:04.because Mr Trump liked his style, he comes from the same rough-and-tumble

:07:05. > :07:09.New York culture that Mr Trump comes from, he called himself a front

:07:10. > :07:15.stabber rather than a backstabber and we were told Mr Trump believed

:07:16. > :07:19.he would do a better job than his then spokesman of defending him and

:07:20. > :07:25.promoting him and trying to get him good press and he liked that attack

:07:26. > :07:30.dog starts that Mr Scaramucci had, but it seems like Mr Scaramucci went

:07:31. > :07:35.too far. Mr Trump didn't say anything about his tie rate but

:07:36. > :07:40.sources were reported saying he wasn't happy to be associated with

:07:41. > :07:45.the vulgarity, but there is also speculation among reporters that he

:07:46. > :07:50.had an Icarus syndrome, flew too close to the son and his wings

:07:51. > :07:59.melted, he became the story rather than the President. You never want

:08:00. > :08:03.to do that. Barbara, keep us posted. We will turn back to Washington when

:08:04. > :08:04.the press briefing turns to Sarah Sanders.

:08:05. > :08:07.It was inevitable there would be fall-out from Venezuela's election.

:08:08. > :08:16.At stake was the make up of the constituent assembly.

:08:17. > :08:23.This body isn't a permanent body, it doesn't always exist within

:08:24. > :08:30.Venezuela but it does exist if changes to the Constitution are

:08:31. > :08:36.needed. Officials in Venezuela voter -- will tell you the turnout was

:08:37. > :08:44.over 42%, the opposition says 90% abstaining. We know voters were

:08:45. > :08:49.choosing members of a joint assembly, this assembly will look

:08:50. > :08:54.into the government's adding to the current constitution. Opposition

:08:55. > :08:59.groups fear this could mean Nicolas Maduro trying to extend his time as

:09:00. > :09:06.president and this is what we are seeing in Caracas, significant

:09:07. > :09:12.violence, ten people died and the presence of the authorities on the

:09:13. > :09:15.street was very visible. Nicolas Maduro was delighted, there he is

:09:16. > :09:21.celebrating with his supporters and we will look in a minute at his

:09:22. > :09:26.position but this is interesting, in the last few minutes we have heard

:09:27. > :09:31.the US Treasury Department would designate Nicolas Maduro for

:09:32. > :09:36.sanctions for undermining democracy. That is a congressional source

:09:37. > :09:41.talking to Reuters, saying the Treasury may look to target the

:09:42. > :09:47.president himself with sanctions. Let's talk to will ground, live in

:09:48. > :09:52.Caracas. If that report proves to be true, it's another piece of evidence

:09:53. > :09:59.of how Venezuela or its president is becoming a united front huge swathes

:10:00. > :10:05.of the international community. -- a united. The US said it would take

:10:06. > :10:12.swift and strong action in the wake of the vote and this would appear to

:10:13. > :10:17.be targeted action against top members of the administration, in

:10:18. > :10:22.this case Nicolas Maduro himself. They have already taken sanctions

:10:23. > :10:27.against 13 members of feathers ministration and the US Treasury

:10:28. > :10:32.Secretary described him as a dictator, saying yesterday's

:10:33. > :10:38.illegitimate elections confirm he is a dictator who disregards the will

:10:39. > :10:41.of the people, so they are not brokering any kind of dissent on

:10:42. > :10:45.this, they are clear this is a step towards dictator ship and they will

:10:46. > :10:50.be taking actions against him personally in terms of freezing his

:10:51. > :10:57.assets or any assets he has in the US. We should point out that America

:10:58. > :11:03.has a long history of interfering in democracies in Latin America and has

:11:04. > :11:08.not quite such a long history of opposing not just Nicolas Maduro but

:11:09. > :11:18.his predecessor, Hugo Chavez. Mr Chavez and US, and President Obama

:11:19. > :11:24.and George Bush Junior, were at loggerheads through his time in

:11:25. > :11:29.office, Washington has a long and bloody and shameful history in Latin

:11:30. > :11:38.America, the involvement of the CAA in and doing democratic elections

:11:39. > :11:43.from 1954 in court mother right through until Cuba, who has felt the

:11:44. > :11:52.brunt of Washington policies towards it over the decades. On this, I feel

:11:53. > :11:56.like the vast majority of Venezuelans are internally moving

:11:57. > :12:03.against the government now because they are tired of his policies they

:12:04. > :12:08.don't think they are working, they are experiencing long queues,

:12:09. > :12:15.rampant inflation, rising crime, he is no Hugo Chavis but that

:12:16. > :12:21.traditional supporters of travellers are also rejecting him. If I were

:12:22. > :12:26.with you in Caracas, would I be aware of the unrest or visit quite

:12:27. > :12:32.localised? You probably would. You have to be just around by motor bike

:12:33. > :12:38.a lot because barricades are set up on street corners, a lot of people

:12:39. > :12:46.are not going out so there is an eerie calm quite often. I lived in

:12:47. > :12:50.Caracas for several years and it is a choking, chaotic, traffic ridden

:12:51. > :12:55.city but not at the moment, you can barely see any cars and the country

:12:56. > :13:02.feels like it's in a strange limbo as everyone waits to see what the

:13:03. > :13:04.next step is. Well, thank you. We have also be live in Washington, but

:13:05. > :13:06.next we will stay here in London. The British Prime Minister's

:13:07. > :13:10.spokesperson has insisted that the free movement of people

:13:11. > :13:14.will end in March 2019 when the UK It follows days of public

:13:15. > :13:17.disagreement between cabinet ministers over what immigration

:13:18. > :13:33.rules will be after Brexit. Some viewers might think, I thought

:13:34. > :13:41.we knew where the government stood on this. This is a familiar refrain

:13:42. > :13:46.from the Prime Minister, reaffirming the position that free movement will

:13:47. > :13:50.come to an end in March 2019, but this is a central issue and has been

:13:51. > :13:55.central in the referendum and in recent weeks we have had Cabinet

:13:56. > :14:00.ministers putting competing views about what they would like to see in

:14:01. > :14:05.the immediate aftermath of Brexit, there is now a consensus there will

:14:06. > :14:10.be some interim arrangement, some are calling it a transitional deal

:14:11. > :14:15.and what exactly happens in this implementation period is what has

:14:16. > :14:20.been up for discussion, various ministers taking to the airwaves to

:14:21. > :14:24.present their ideas, Philip Hammond suggesting nothing will really

:14:25. > :14:31.change on the day we leave and new migration rules might take some time

:14:32. > :14:35.to come into force but Theresa May's spokesperson says free movement is

:14:36. > :14:41.coming to an end, according to the government in March 2019. In

:14:42. > :14:44.different circumstances if ministers behave like this they might get

:14:45. > :14:52.their marching orders but these are not normal circumstances. No, there

:14:53. > :14:55.has been signs of Cabinet in discipline, Theresa May have to

:14:56. > :15:02.chastise ministers for leaking details of meetings to the press and

:15:03. > :15:06.has had to reassert authority after days of squabbles from competing

:15:07. > :15:11.camps in the Cabinet, from readers and Remainer is debating in public

:15:12. > :15:17.about what they would like to see in terms of the deal, whether it would

:15:18. > :15:21.defy the result of the referendum, so Theresa May trying to stamp

:15:22. > :15:28.authority and cite this is what is happening but whether ministers will

:15:29. > :15:33.pay attention, there are many weeks to go while Parliament is on

:15:34. > :15:39.holiday. Thank you, Leila. In the few minutes we will turn to

:15:40. > :15:43.Afghanistan because there is been a suicide attack outside the Iraqi

:15:44. > :15:49.embassy in Kabul. The Islamic State group is aiming responsibility. We

:15:50. > :15:51.will look at the consequences but also the broader issues it raises of

:15:52. > :16:11.how to take on IS. The government wants to recruit

:16:12. > :16:17.another 21,000 mental health workers. The Royal College of

:16:18. > :16:21.Nursing has questioned whether enough new staff can be trained in

:16:22. > :16:28.time that Jeremy Hunt says he is confident. There are people who were

:16:29. > :16:32.trained in mental health and psychiatrists who are not currently

:16:33. > :16:38.in the NHS and we have a programme to attract them back and we want to

:16:39. > :16:42.say to them, we probably have the biggest expansion in mental health

:16:43. > :16:48.provision at Europe, we are proud of what you're doing but we still have

:16:49. > :16:52.too many people in this country, where a jungle life is blighted

:16:53. > :16:53.because we're not getting them the mental health care they need quickly

:16:54. > :17:11.enough. The New York Times is reporting

:17:12. > :17:17.that the president has fired Anthony Scaramucci, his new director of

:17:18. > :17:28.indications who was only hired ten On that subject, we can guess what

:17:29. > :17:35.questions the White House spokesperson might get asked. Let's

:17:36. > :17:39.listen. He does not have a role at this time in the Trump

:17:40. > :17:46.Administration, we put out a statement earlier announcing that

:17:47. > :17:50.and I don't have much else to say. Did General Kelly ask him to leave

:17:51. > :17:58.or did the president asked him to leave? Did he volunteer? I will not

:17:59. > :18:02.get into the process. What matters most to us is not who was employed

:18:03. > :18:09.in the White House but he was employed in the rest of the country,

:18:10. > :18:16.we are focused on the President's agenda of growing the economy and

:18:17. > :18:20.creating jobs. Was it a chain of command issue because Scaramucci

:18:21. > :18:24.said he had a direct line of communication to the President?

:18:25. > :18:29.There has been speculation that General Kelly may have tried to

:18:30. > :18:33.tighten up, so was it something about the chain of command or didn't

:18:34. > :18:39.have anything to do with the interview he gave last week? The

:18:40. > :18:43.president felt that Anthony's comments were inappropriate for a

:18:44. > :18:48.person in that position and he didn't want to burden General Kelly

:18:49. > :18:54.with that line of succession, as I think we have made clear over the

:18:55. > :18:58.course of the last few days, General Kelly has the full authority to

:18:59. > :19:04.operate within the White House and all staff report to him. When you

:19:05. > :19:09.say you didn't want to burden him with that line of succession, could

:19:10. > :19:15.you clarify one point about this chain of command, apparently Jarrod

:19:16. > :19:20.Kushner and Donald Trump said they look forward to following General

:19:21. > :19:24.Kelly's lead, will that conduit of people with access to the president

:19:25. > :19:29.been narrowed down or will everything flow through General

:19:30. > :19:38.Kelly? The president has given full authority to General Kelly. This

:19:39. > :19:42.statement about the White House says Mr Scaramucci felt it was best to

:19:43. > :19:46.give John Kelly a clean state to build his own team but you just said

:19:47. > :19:53.the president felt his comments were inappropriate. I don't see those as

:19:54. > :19:59.being mutually exclusive. Anthony once General Kelly to be able to

:20:00. > :20:04.operate with a clean slate grabbed the president felt his comments were

:20:05. > :20:07.inappropriate. With the new hierarchy with General Kelly, tell

:20:08. > :20:14.us what it looks like with this administration. General Kelly will

:20:15. > :20:19.bring a new structure to the White House and discipline and strength

:20:20. > :20:25.and we're all excited to work him and I will not draw a chart appear

:20:26. > :20:31.but we will keep you guys posted. Stephen Bannon, everyone reports to

:20:32. > :20:37.him rather than going to the press, does everyone go to General Kelly

:20:38. > :20:48.first? General Kelly has the full authority to carry out business. I

:20:49. > :20:52.have a real quick one regarding Sean Spicer, will he be in the

:20:53. > :20:57.administration in anyway now that Anthony Scaramucci will not be part

:20:58. > :21:05.of the administration? I'm not aware of any changes. Ten days ago Anthony

:21:06. > :21:09.Scaramucci was introduced as the new communications director and is now

:21:10. > :21:14.out of a job. The president announced there is no chaos at the

:21:15. > :21:20.White House. How would you describe what has happened over the past ten

:21:21. > :21:24.days? You agree with your boss the president there is no chaos but how

:21:25. > :21:33.would you explain that not to be the case? If you want to see chaos, come

:21:34. > :21:37.to my house with three preschoolers. Just to be clear, that is not an

:21:38. > :21:41.open invitation to my house but if you guys want to shed your

:21:42. > :21:50.baby-sitting time, I will be happy to work that out. Does the president

:21:51. > :21:57.regret hiring Anthony Scaramucci? I will not get into anything on that

:21:58. > :22:05.front. You said that Scaramucci felt so you are saying this was his

:22:06. > :22:09.decision. Was it? The president felt it was inappropriate, Anthony and

:22:10. > :22:16.General Kelly came to a mutual agreement and we are focusing on the

:22:17. > :22:22.jobs outside this building. Just to clarify because I want to make sure

:22:23. > :22:26.I understand the word he's here, he didn't want to burden General Kelly

:22:27. > :22:35.with that line of succession. The president. So it was the president

:22:36. > :22:42.deciding... We all serve at the pleasure of the president but this

:22:43. > :22:48.was a mutually agreed conversation. On Russia sanctions, did you know

:22:49. > :22:53.whether the president intends to sign the Russia sanctions bill and

:22:54. > :22:57.why hasn't the president taken the opportunities he has had today to

:22:58. > :23:08.say something in response to Vladimir Putin's retaliation with

:23:09. > :23:12.that 755. We put out a statement stating the President's intent to

:23:13. > :23:16.sign and we will let you know when that is going to take place. In

:23:17. > :23:24.terms of your second question, the follow-up? Why hasn't he taken the

:23:25. > :23:30.chance to say something to President Putin, it is striking the silence

:23:31. > :23:35.from the president with no response, he had a couple of chances to say

:23:36. > :23:39.something about it and didn't. We are reviewing our options and we

:23:40. > :23:46.have something to say on that, we will let you know. You said earlier

:23:47. > :23:52.all staff will report to the new chief of staff, does that include Mr

:23:53. > :23:59.Kushner and Mr Bannon? That includes everyone at the White House. Will

:24:00. > :24:05.the administration support the tax overhaul that comes out of the ways

:24:06. > :24:09.and Means committee. We pitted a joint statement with the big six, we

:24:10. > :24:16.will continue working with them and announce details. When Sean Spicer

:24:17. > :24:22.resigned it was for a clean slate, now that Scaramucci has resigned, it

:24:23. > :24:30.is also for a clean slate. Is the slate completely clean or should we

:24:31. > :24:40.expect any more shake-ups? Is the staff settled? They are. Is there

:24:41. > :24:42.any chance you will leave the job of communications director alone,

:24:43. > :24:50.having had two people leave rather abruptly? We will let you know when

:24:51. > :24:56.we have any personnel announcements. When the president made his speech

:24:57. > :25:02.to police on Friday, within minutes statements came from police chiefs

:25:03. > :25:07.across the country criticising his remarks that seem to endorse the use

:25:08. > :25:13.of force by police in search arrests. Was the president joking

:25:14. > :25:16.when he said this or did he checked his remarks with the International

:25:17. > :25:25.Association of police chiefs or the Attorney General? I believe he was

:25:26. > :25:29.making a joke. The statement says Anthony Scaramucci is no longer with

:25:30. > :25:37.the Administration, was he fired by the president or asked to resign? I

:25:38. > :25:41.will not get into any more. You said this was back and forth

:25:42. > :25:45.conversation, can you take us through what the president is

:25:46. > :25:52.looking for in the communications job, why he might make clean slate?

:25:53. > :25:56.I believe he wants to work with General Kelly in the communications

:25:57. > :26:03.team intact right now and determine the best course forward. On reports

:26:04. > :26:07.that Attorney General Sessions is being considered for homeland

:26:08. > :26:15.security chief accurate? How soon will dot search be complete? There

:26:16. > :26:19.are no conversations about any cabinet members moving and the

:26:20. > :26:25.president has confidence in all members of his cabinet. One question

:26:26. > :26:30.on the Scaramucci issue, you said the president found his remarks

:26:31. > :26:37.inappropriate. Can you specify what he found inappropriate? He found it

:26:38. > :26:42.inappropriate for a person in that position. I believe the comments he

:26:43. > :26:49.made, he found them inappropriate. Is it up the trail of the rest of

:26:50. > :26:53.the staff? You talk about the messaging for the president and the

:26:54. > :26:56.communications department is crucial so am trying to find out what went

:26:57. > :27:02.wrong between this morning and this afternoon. I don't think it's

:27:03. > :27:12.complex to understand the president found the remarks inappropriate. I

:27:13. > :27:18.cannot explain it further. We had some speculation about the

:27:19. > :27:23.possibility of a first strike. Is that option on the table? The

:27:24. > :27:33.president will not broadcast any decisions but all options are on the

:27:34. > :27:40.table. The president signed an executive order on infrastructure,

:27:41. > :27:45.does that mean the president has no intention and will not be a tide

:27:46. > :27:50.working with Congress on the infrastructure build? Is there any

:27:51. > :27:56.discussion about moving forward with any legislation for infrastructure,

:27:57. > :28:01.especially digital? The president has been outspoken on the need for a

:28:02. > :28:06.massive overhaul to the country's infrastructure and that is still a

:28:07. > :28:14.priority in any capacity he has the ability to carry that out. We have

:28:15. > :28:19.seen the chief of staff, deputy chief of staff, communications

:28:20. > :28:24.directors and national security adviser all leave in six months. Can

:28:25. > :28:27.you tell us why there has been all this turbulence? I know you don't

:28:28. > :28:34.like to get into the process but what is going on? We are focusing on

:28:35. > :28:38.the President's agenda. We will let you know when there are staff

:28:39. > :28:43.changes but what matters to us are not the jobs in this building but

:28:44. > :28:48.the ones outside, that is why the president has been focused on

:28:49. > :28:55.growing jobs. We have created over 1 million new jobs since he took

:28:56. > :28:59.office, the lowest unemployment in 16 years. We are focused on

:29:00. > :29:06.recruiting a strong economy and growing jobs outside this building,

:29:07. > :29:11.not the ones with them. A follow-up on health care. Nick Mulvey in White

:29:12. > :29:19.House does want any votes in the Senate until they are in the Senate

:29:20. > :29:24.and you are also pushing for the nominees, is the White House's

:29:25. > :29:29.position to accept voting on non-healthcare things in the next

:29:30. > :29:41.few months? We're pushing forward with the repeal and replace of

:29:42. > :29:44.Obamacare, we will continue that. The President's tax reform

:29:45. > :29:48.admissions were being discussed and can you elaborate on his hope to

:29:49. > :29:55.travel in August to begin to talk about tax cuts and tax reform and

:29:56. > :30:00.his interest in getting some Democratic senators to support his

:30:01. > :30:05.legislation. You have any details about where he might go and his

:30:06. > :30:09.message? Not at this time but we will keep you guys posted on his

:30:10. > :30:15.travel schedule in August and he hopes to have a large amount of

:30:16. > :30:20.support for tax reform, it is vital to our economy and something the

:30:21. > :30:23.administration is focused on and will continue working with the house

:30:24. > :30:25.and Senate and members of the Administration.

:30:26. > :30:33.For that was Barbara Huckabee saunters and off she went as if we

:30:34. > :30:40.have planted which will of course we didn't. Barbara, what to make of

:30:41. > :30:46.that, she did not tell as anything? She told us a couple of things, she

:30:47. > :30:48.said that the president felt it was because of Anthony Scaramucci's

:30:49. > :30:52.comments last week presumably she was referring to his interview last

:30:53. > :30:57.week in which he used a lot profanity when talking about members

:30:58. > :31:01.of staff. She said he felt they were inappropriate, I did recall Mr Trump

:31:02. > :31:06.saying anything directly about the interview before so that is clear he

:31:07. > :31:10.felt that was inappropriate. According to her. She'll is said the

:31:11. > :31:14.president did not want to bat in general tally with the line of

:31:15. > :31:19.succession by that she clarified she meant that Mr Scarr amici have the

:31:20. > :31:23.arrangement way he could report directly to the president and Mr

:31:24. > :31:26.Kelly is coming in to tighten adult so that they would put the president

:31:27. > :31:30.threw him and to survey the Mr Trump felt, according to the spokeswoman,

:31:31. > :31:36.but she did not want the Buddha Mr Kelly with. Those were the two

:31:37. > :31:40.reason she gave. Also, interestingly, she said it was a

:31:41. > :31:44.decision that was made mutually among the three people, the

:31:45. > :31:48.president, Mr Kelly and Anthony Scaramucci and also she was asked

:31:49. > :31:52.about the reporting, she said that everyone at the White House would

:31:53. > :31:55.report to Mr Kelly rather than direct to the president and she was

:31:56. > :31:58.asked several that mean everybody does it mean his mean his daughter,

:31:59. > :32:02.his son-in-law and she said everybody. She said that Mr Kerry

:32:03. > :32:05.would bring new structure and discipline to the White House of the

:32:06. > :32:10.message is very much that we are going to try and eliminate this

:32:11. > :32:15.chaotic lines of communication from the White House. The chief of staff

:32:16. > :32:19.will be required to do the job that achieve of staff have to do which is

:32:20. > :32:25.to be the main man falling communication to the president. That

:32:26. > :32:29.was her message today. -- bundling communication. Thank you come back

:32:30. > :32:32.to a city find out anything else. The problems these press conferences

:32:33. > :32:38.is that at any point the president could pick of his own and start

:32:39. > :32:39.tweeting and everything the press conference Doll -- everything be

:32:40. > :32:41.turned upside down. Charlie Wolf a Republican

:32:42. > :32:50.broadcaster and commentator What did you make of that? The White

:32:51. > :32:55.House was by hierarchy and hasn't had needs to run like a military

:32:56. > :33:00.operation. General Kelly was put into Titan of the ship and he's

:33:01. > :33:04.taking control and he probably he would make that as a demand that if

:33:05. > :33:10.he was going to take over the ship at the Titan adult like a Marine

:33:11. > :33:13.unit. A 4-star general Marine knows how to do that. Anthony Scaramucci

:33:14. > :33:18.was out, it was not the image, I thought it was interesting in the

:33:19. > :33:23.beginning the first press appearance he made was very good I thought then

:33:24. > :33:27.the phone call, it makes it look like the New York fingers great

:33:28. > :33:37.putter gets the point where it looks like you have someone from's the

:33:38. > :33:40.King of Queens. Yes but Mr Trump new what Anthony Scaramucci was like, Mr

:33:41. > :33:45.Trump has been critical of people firing this pokes people it is not

:33:46. > :33:51.weighted as a? I think the president was looking for someone who

:33:52. > :33:55.understood him, originally, that was his people outside of his daughter

:33:56. > :34:00.and his son-in-law, these were all elite Washington establishment

:34:01. > :34:04.people, person three macro Anthony Scaramucci was from the

:34:05. > :34:09.neighbourhood, from Queens, made good not a communications person,

:34:10. > :34:13.half the trains, lawyer, financier very smart. The opening press

:34:14. > :34:23.conference in very good but again... Feels like a long time ago. I think

:34:24. > :34:26.he is realising, he is understanding how it works. Also the thing with

:34:27. > :34:30.General Kelly you have to remember is that he's the main source, the

:34:31. > :34:37.main conduit to the Congress as well as making sure to plan the

:34:38. > :34:44.President's schedule, the president has not had an easy time because of

:34:45. > :34:51.his pod club. Hold on, the chief of staff who was just left was the

:34:52. > :34:55.person the perfect man. Even he couldn't do it? General Kelly is

:34:56. > :34:58.above all that, he is an independent, and Marine General who

:34:59. > :35:04.has served in combat and had had a son who was Alli gave his life in

:35:05. > :35:08.combat as well. There is nothing you can hold an General Kelly, he has

:35:09. > :35:11.gravitas and: So when he goes to Congress and says, listen we don't

:35:12. > :35:16.have the stuff that we need because you have not been improving them, I

:35:17. > :35:20.need these people, it will get done. It will be run with marine

:35:21. > :35:25.efficiency it will be run like a house runs even better. The trouble

:35:26. > :35:30.is when he was a military commander he was in charge of everybody, and

:35:31. > :35:34.when he said jumps people jumped, but now he has a boss who by all

:35:35. > :35:38.accounts cannot be controlled by anyone, he is his own man. I think

:35:39. > :35:45.there will have to be a mixture of the two, Donald Trump is going to be

:35:46. > :35:49.his own man, and in lean leans you get to know your situation and you

:35:50. > :35:52.adapt to your surroundings, and the General Kelly was that to his

:35:53. > :35:55.surroundings and he will make it work ensure he will told the

:35:56. > :35:59.president and given council when needed, maybe some will be taken and

:36:00. > :36:03.somewhere to be taken put his job is to make sure that the rest of the

:36:04. > :36:10.ship works tightly around him and he will clog like a good sailor -- he

:36:11. > :36:12.will plug the leaks like a big sale -- he'll plug the leaks like a good

:36:13. > :36:25.sailor. How we have reports that Qatar has

:36:26. > :36:35.filed a complaint with the well-trained organisation. Here's a

:36:36. > :36:41.tweet... Remember those three countries severed ties with Qatar

:36:42. > :36:44.back in June, we've talked about a lot, they accuse Qatar is the

:36:45. > :36:53.terrorism something that cannot Alli denies. -- something that Qatar

:36:54. > :36:57.denies. They have stopped flights to Doha, and on top of the land border

:36:58. > :37:01.with Saudi Arabia has been closed which was used to import 40% of

:37:02. > :37:07.Qatar's food, you can imagine the consequences that. Live from New

:37:08. > :37:13.York, good to see is the mirror, guess the question here is what

:37:14. > :37:18.influence, what pressure could the WTO apply even if it concluded that

:37:19. > :37:21.Qatar had a point? The world trade organisation is really responsible

:37:22. > :37:27.for adjudicating any sort of trade disputes and what Qatar has said in

:37:28. > :37:32.their complaint is that these countries are using coercive

:37:33. > :37:36.attempts at economic isolation. By complaining to the WTO Qatar is

:37:37. > :37:42.enforcing all three countries to the table to try and resolve the dispute

:37:43. > :37:47.and if they don't then they could face litigation with the WTO, so

:37:48. > :37:51.they could face quite a bit of pressure from them. Most countries

:37:52. > :37:57.would want to avoid that. Now, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab emirate

:37:58. > :38:02.money of the country have all said that if Qatar does this they will

:38:03. > :38:06.cite national security as the reasoning. That is an exemption that

:38:07. > :38:13.is allowed under the WTO but it is seldom used. Was the time brain on

:38:14. > :38:19.this what is the procedure? Now they have opened up a 60 day period in

:38:20. > :38:21.which all of these countries have to sit down and come to some sort of

:38:22. > :38:25.discussion and at about 60 day discussion and at about 60 day

:38:26. > :38:31.period have expired then it becomes part of the deep WTO and what they

:38:32. > :38:33.decide. -- part of the WTO are what they decide to adjudicate. I'm sure

:38:34. > :38:39.we will told that my. On Friday, North Korea test-fired

:38:40. > :38:40.another intercontinental These pictures supposedly show it -

:38:41. > :38:44.and what's worried the country's neighbours is that these pictures

:38:45. > :38:48.were shot in Hokkaido, Japan. North Korea claims that the entire

:38:49. > :39:00.US is now within its striking range. We can't be sure if that is true but

:39:01. > :39:05.inevitably it is a concern for Donald Trump. He was asked what he

:39:06. > :39:11.is in the do about it. We will handle North Korea we will be able

:39:12. > :39:16.to. It will be handled. We handle everything, thank you very much. Not

:39:17. > :39:18.a whole lot of detail there but we do know that the Americans will not

:39:19. > :39:26.call UN Security Council meeting. Nikki Haley, the US

:39:27. > :39:47.ambassador to the UN said... To state the obvious this is all a

:39:48. > :39:52.blow for those hoping for a de-escalation attention on the

:39:53. > :39:55.Korean peninsula. As you may know there is a demilitarised zone

:39:56. > :39:59.between North and the South and the BBC's Karen Allen has been there.

:40:00. > :40:03.This is some of the report she has sent.

:40:04. > :40:08.Beyond the barbed wire lines North Korea and this incredible wall trait

:40:09. > :40:13.in the bids contains messages to people on the other side many rum

:40:14. > :40:17.loved ones. This one is written in England and says "Grandpa and

:40:18. > :40:23.grandma I have made it, unification one day." That is a hope for the

:40:24. > :40:27.future but many people's eyes are on what is happening now and I hope a

:40:28. > :40:32.de-escalation following the missile test that happened on Friday. Donald

:40:33. > :40:36.Trump is expected to hold talks, telephone talks with the president

:40:37. > :40:40.of South Korea he was on vacation at the moment but he is going to want

:40:41. > :40:45.to talk about shoring up missile defences here in South Korea.

:40:46. > :40:49.President Trump has also spoken to the Japanese Prime Minister but they

:40:50. > :40:54.have had no discussions specifically on any military action. Well more

:40:55. > :40:58.from Karen in South Korea in a moment I also want to tell you that

:40:59. > :41:07.the weekend in Alaska America tested this... It's anti-missile system, it

:41:08. > :41:12.destroys missiles in the last stage of their flight. I mention that

:41:13. > :41:15.because already as Karen was mentioning the Americans have

:41:16. > :41:20.installed that system in South Korea. Also at the weekend the

:41:21. > :41:23.Americans rejects over peninsulas, China is opposed that happening

:41:24. > :41:25.President Trump doesn't seem overly concerned on Sunday he took the

:41:26. > :41:44.Twitter to say... Thart language from the president,

:41:45. > :41:49.Mark and distant from the line which he used when the Chinese leader

:41:50. > :41:54.visited him a couple of months ago. Here is Karen again in China's

:41:55. > :41:59.position. People are wondering how much influence the Shana really have

:42:00. > :42:03.certainly people here have links to China, many of them have family to

:42:04. > :42:07.China. It is true that it's responsible for about 90% of all

:42:08. > :42:14.trade with North Korea, China the instance, provide cheap fuel which

:42:15. > :42:19.powers the tanks and power stations in place of Korea. It is condemned

:42:20. > :42:23.the test and has very little appetite any kind of military

:42:24. > :42:27.confrontation after all that could result in millions of North Korean

:42:28. > :42:34.refugees flooding across in Chinese borders. As the Donald Trump's

:42:35. > :42:38.tweet, that China could solve this problem while the Chinese newspapers

:42:39. > :42:49.as saying he is simply wrong. It is not that simple.

:42:50. > :42:59.Officials century say they have struck a deal will hold the Olympic

:43:00. > :43:01.games in 2000 22. Reports say the International Olympic Committee will

:43:02. > :43:11.confirm the arrangement in the coming hours. Let's talk live on the

:43:12. > :43:16.BBC sports Centre. Reports make it sound like it's a done deal.

:43:17. > :43:21.Absolutely outspoken to the LA City Council about this and they believe

:43:22. > :43:28.that the eyes need to be dotted and the tease me to be crossed. If you

:43:29. > :43:33.look at this Boston pulled out earlier on and you had Rome, Hamburg

:43:34. > :43:37.and Budapest what this does for the AAC in the IPC is it gives them the

:43:38. > :43:45.opportunity to plan ahead and know what is happening to those 2024 and

:43:46. > :43:49.2028 games, it has not been LA since 1984, fantastic games then, the USA

:43:50. > :43:53.have not posted it sits at an 21996 and also means that France, the

:43:54. > :43:58.powerless, it is a get out of jail card for them as it means they get

:43:59. > :44:01.those 2024 games and this is 100 years since Paris lost hope in the

:44:02. > :44:08.Olympics. The verb is great news and the LA it will be an outstanding

:44:09. > :44:12.games as well. Financially good incentive for both countries. Good

:44:13. > :44:17.for the ICC because it is having more and more trouble finding cities

:44:18. > :44:20.willing to take this on. I mention about Boston, Rome, Budapest there

:44:21. > :44:25.is that pulled out. He gives them the opportunity to plan ahead for

:44:26. > :44:28.years to come so we are then looking at 2032, your member that Paris

:44:29. > :44:32.missed out on 2004 the London is a disappointment that there the them

:48:41. > :48:46.bound, his body was found along with the body of a female, unidentified

:48:47. > :48:50.female, they were found just outside the outskirts of Nairobi there was a

:48:51. > :48:54.press conference later and his boss, the chair of the electoral body said

:48:55. > :48:59.there was no doubt that he had been tortured port so that he had had one

:49:00. > :49:04.of his arms cut off. What is very chilling about this is that there

:49:05. > :49:10.was no attempt to pretend this was an accident or hide the fact that

:49:11. > :49:15.this was a cold-blooded murder. Is electronic voting are politically

:49:16. > :49:18.potent issue? It is, it goes back to 2007 when we have a devastating

:49:19. > :49:25.result of the post-election violence one thing that came out of that was

:49:26. > :49:30.a commission which found that in order to stop things like ballot

:49:31. > :49:33.stuffing and double registration of voters and some of the fraudulent

:49:34. > :49:37.activities that went on it was important to have more technology

:49:38. > :49:41.put into the mix to stop some of those things. This white Kenya has

:49:42. > :49:47.been pushing electronic voting since then. This was a disaster when they

:49:48. > :49:52.last tried to use it? Unfortunately power cuts made it difficult. Even

:49:53. > :49:55.simple things like mobile phone that was posed to transmit results were

:49:56. > :49:58.not charged. It did not go quite well and ended up in the Supreme

:49:59. > :50:03.Court where it was eventually established who won the election.

:50:04. > :50:05.Sometimes when I told the Kenyans about their election they say why do

:50:06. > :50:09.is the international media always want more back to 2007 would there

:50:10. > :50:14.will be problems coming you should be more positive? I guess events

:50:15. > :50:19.like this play into the narrative that this is a tense affair. There

:50:20. > :50:27.was one saying we can go to witches it is not the one who counts but the

:50:28. > :50:31.one count the votes. I think that is something a lot of Kenyans are

:50:32. > :50:34.thinking about, can we trust the bodies and the botanic offices there

:50:35. > :50:37.has been a lot of things going on whether it is amending the law to

:50:38. > :50:42.make sure you can have a manual voting system as a back-up there are

:50:43. > :50:44.a lot of things that have gone on the Kenyans are not so sure. There

:50:45. > :50:48.was definitely left to their winning to look forward and Stratford peeps

:50:49. > :50:53.but there was also bit of webby this people think about what is the best

:50:54. > :50:58.way to get there. Peace must be had but just as as well.

:50:59. > :51:00.A row involving Apple - and about internet censorship.

:51:01. > :51:02.This is about virtual private networks, or VPNs -

:51:03. > :51:06.and Apple's decision to remove them from its App store in China.

:51:07. > :51:10.VPNs allow you to access online material by directing your internet

:51:11. > :51:20.It means users can then access censored or blocked websites -

:51:21. > :51:25.without giving away their real location.

:51:26. > :51:34.If you can't get to a website of your government is stopping you. You

:51:35. > :51:35.can access website because you are not giving weight your real

:51:36. > :51:35.location. Apple's removed 60 VPNs

:51:36. > :51:37.from its app store - that will make it much hard

:51:38. > :51:40.for Chinese users to get around China's tough

:51:41. > :51:54.restrictions on internet usage. VPNs are the way of life for a lot

:51:55. > :52:01.of internet uses in China. Anyone who wants to access the big sites

:52:02. > :52:05.that barred inside China, Facebook, Twitter, Google or a host of a new

:52:06. > :52:09.site about inside China will need a VPN in order to do that. Business

:52:10. > :52:12.people use them a lot in order to research products overseas or to

:52:13. > :52:16.market products overseas leaving just used things like Gmail, things

:52:17. > :52:24.are really common when doing business are lots of other places.

:52:25. > :52:29.The Chinese government is really cracking down on VPNs this year in

:52:30. > :52:33.particular because the political environment in China is quite tense

:52:34. > :52:37.at the moment, it the end of this year there was going to be a very

:52:38. > :52:40.important political conference in China with the next generation of

:52:41. > :52:45.Chinese leaders are expected to be unveiled. At the moment the Chinese

:52:46. > :52:49.government really is imposing even stricter centres and controls than

:52:50. > :52:55.it normally would. That is probably why Apple has finally given in to

:52:56. > :53:02.pressure to remove VPN apps from its App Store inside China. China is a

:53:03. > :53:10.really important market for Apple, it represents about 20% of all the

:53:11. > :53:15.companies's sales. It is also very important manufacturing base for

:53:16. > :53:21.Apple it gets a third company, Fox,, to manufacture many of its iPhones,

:53:22. > :53:24.iPods and other devices in militant China said the country is really

:53:25. > :53:30.important in maintaining good relations. -- in mainland China. We

:53:31. > :53:35.can see they value this relationship was over time Apple has been given

:53:36. > :53:39.to a lot of Chinese government laws and regulations on all sorts of

:53:40. > :53:43.things. For example start of the year Apple removed the New York

:53:44. > :53:47.Times at Comet Apple Store inside China, the New York Times is banned

:53:48. > :53:52.in China because of its reporting and now the New times app is longer

:53:53. > :53:57.available on the Apple App Store. It is also decided to allow or give in

:53:58. > :54:00.to the Chinese government's request to install data servers in the

:54:01. > :54:05.Chinese mainland. It is tried to reassure its government customers

:54:06. > :54:08.that it will keep data but many people think this will mean that

:54:09. > :54:15.Apple will hand over some of that data to the Chinese government when

:54:16. > :54:18.requested. Now we have Apple's announcement or its acknowledgement

:54:19. > :54:25.that VPN apps are also not on sale in the App Store so it just goes to

:54:26. > :54:31.underline this ongoing demand by the Chinese government for Apple to give

:54:32. > :54:33.in to certain laws and regulations and Apple says it simply is

:54:34. > :54:39.following the rules and regulations of the country in which it operates.

:54:40. > :54:46.Just the amount due in case you've been away from the television or

:54:47. > :54:49.your phone, Anthony Scaramucci the man who was going to reset the

:54:50. > :54:54.messaging coming out of the White House has been relieved of his
