Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, and this is Outside Source.

:00:07.:00:09.

Blink and you'll miss it at the White House.

:00:10.:00:20.

The New York Times is reporting that the president has fired Anthony

:00:21.:00:28.

Scaramucci, his new director of indications who was only hard ten

:00:29.:00:33.

days ago. The Islamic State group has launched an -- on the Iraqi

:00:34.:00:39.

embassy on Kabul. We will look at the -- and where it leaves America's

:00:40.:00:48.

position in Afghanistan. This is Venezuela, the fallout from the

:00:49.:00:54.

weekend's election which was to elect a constituent to the assembly.

:00:55.:01:00.

Here is the president. With the hurricane example you have set

:01:01.:01:05.

today, more than 8 million votes by the sovereign people of Venezuela.

:01:06.:01:10.

We will also talk about Apple getting caught up in an argument

:01:11.:01:15.

around censorship in China. It is polled various VPNs, facilities that

:01:16.:01:23.

help people get around censorship in China. We will explain that as well.

:01:24.:01:48.

Things are moving at speed in Washington, DC.

:01:49.:01:50.

In the past hour the White House confirmed Anthony Scaramucci

:01:51.:01:52.

will leave role as White House communications director

:01:53.:01:54.

to give chief of staff John Kelly a "Clean Slate".

:01:55.:01:59.

Bear in mind he hasn't officially started the job. That was slated to

:02:00.:02:10.

happen in August. This was the first we've heard of this story in the New

:02:11.:02:17.

York Times. All this means we are paying very close attention to this

:02:18.:02:24.

feed coming in from Washington, and this is where Sarah Huckerby

:02:25.:02:30.

Sanders, the White House spokesperson will be. Here she is.

:02:31.:02:37.

Let's listen to what she has to say. Good afternoon, everyone. I would

:02:38.:02:42.

like to bring out a national security adviser and Treasury

:02:43.:02:51.

Secretary to discuss their response to Nicolas Maduro's regimes actions

:02:52.:03:01.

in Venezuela. As always, your favourite time of day, I will come

:03:02.:03:10.

back and take your questions. I thought it might be best to read the

:03:11.:03:17.

President's statement. The Trump administration has called on

:03:18.:03:21.

Venezuela to respect... We will keep an eye on that but the person we

:03:22.:03:26.

really want to hear from is Sarah Sanders, not speaking yet so as soon

:03:27.:03:32.

as she does we will turn to that. Let's bring in Barbara Platt Usher,

:03:33.:03:37.

live from Washington. I guess if we have learnt anything from the

:03:38.:03:41.

statement from the White House, it is that when Mr Apple was hired, Mr

:03:42.:03:46.

Trump didn't intend to get rid of his previous chief of staff. Either

:03:47.:03:54.

that or he didn't tend to get rid of him in the way it happened because

:03:55.:03:59.

Mr Trump has not said anything about the way Mr Scaramucci handled that.

:04:00.:04:06.

Mr Scaramucci was quite upfront and abrasive about that relationship and

:04:07.:04:11.

ultimately gave an interview to the New Yorker where he spoke about the

:04:12.:04:16.

former chief of staff, Reince Priebus, with very vulgar language

:04:17.:04:23.

full of profanities and that became the big story, ultimately leading to

:04:24.:04:30.

Reince Priebus's departure. We knew Mr Trump might have wanted him to

:04:31.:04:33.

depart anyway but perhaps not in that way. What we understand from

:04:34.:04:44.

some American media is that the new chief of staff, John Kelly, who is

:04:45.:04:49.

hoping to impose more discipline on the White House, so that may be one

:04:50.:04:53.

of the main factors in terms of white mistress Scaramucci is leaving

:04:54.:05:02.

now. Let's try to push the colourful characters to one side, what are the

:05:03.:05:06.

practical consequences of having this much chopping and changing

:05:07.:05:10.

within the President's working environment? The big answer to that,

:05:11.:05:19.

it means things cannot get done. You have the White House working with

:05:20.:05:25.

Congress to pass legislation and execute policy in agencies but the

:05:26.:05:31.

team in the White House, the staff and the National Security Council,

:05:32.:05:36.

are the ones who helped to push it forward and coordinate it and that

:05:37.:05:39.

needs some clear direction from the White House, it means everybody

:05:40.:05:45.

should be speaking from the same page and have a tour here in message

:05:46.:05:49.

and it needs a strong chief of staff. If the West Wing is riven by

:05:50.:05:56.

factional fighting and different ideologies and people who can speak

:05:57.:06:01.

their minds freely and wander into the oval office and tell the

:06:02.:06:04.

president what they think without going through a chain of command, it

:06:05.:06:10.

becomes difficult to do that and we saw last week the most chaotic

:06:11.:06:15.

example when that kind of infighting which had been widely reported not

:06:16.:06:21.

just between Anthony Scaramucci and Reince Priebus but between other

:06:22.:06:27.

factions, nursed out into the open. The story was broken by the New York

:06:28.:06:32.

Times. I want to pull off a tweet from a couple of hours ago, there

:06:33.:06:38.

are two types of nonfamily members entrance word, permanent and

:06:39.:06:42.

instruments. Sometimes instruments think they are permanent. There was

:06:43.:06:47.

no questioning Mr Scaramucci's commitment to Mr Trump yet it has

:06:48.:06:54.

come to nothing. It's interesting, we understand he was brought in

:06:55.:06:59.

because Mr Trump liked his style, he comes from the same rough-and-tumble

:07:00.:07:04.

New York culture that Mr Trump comes from, he called himself a front

:07:05.:07:09.

stabber rather than a backstabber and we were told Mr Trump believed

:07:10.:07:15.

he would do a better job than his then spokesman of defending him and

:07:16.:07:19.

promoting him and trying to get him good press and he liked that attack

:07:20.:07:25.

dog starts that Mr Scaramucci had, but it seems like Mr Scaramucci went

:07:26.:07:30.

too far. Mr Trump didn't say anything about his tie rate but

:07:31.:07:35.

sources were reported saying he wasn't happy to be associated with

:07:36.:07:40.

the vulgarity, but there is also speculation among reporters that he

:07:41.:07:45.

had an Icarus syndrome, flew too close to the son and his wings

:07:46.:07:50.

melted, he became the story rather than the President. You never want

:07:51.:07:59.

to do that. Barbara, keep us posted. We will turn back to Washington when

:08:00.:08:03.

the press briefing turns to Sarah Sanders.

:08:04.:08:04.

It was inevitable there would be fall-out from Venezuela's election.

:08:05.:08:07.

At stake was the make up of the constituent assembly.

:08:08.:08:16.

This body isn't a permanent body, it doesn't always exist within

:08:17.:08:23.

Venezuela but it does exist if changes to the Constitution are

:08:24.:08:30.

needed. Officials in Venezuela voter -- will tell you the turnout was

:08:31.:08:36.

over 42%, the opposition says 90% abstaining. We know voters were

:08:37.:08:44.

choosing members of a joint assembly, this assembly will look

:08:45.:08:49.

into the government's adding to the current constitution. Opposition

:08:50.:08:54.

groups fear this could mean Nicolas Maduro trying to extend his time as

:08:55.:08:59.

president and this is what we are seeing in Caracas, significant

:09:00.:09:06.

violence, ten people died and the presence of the authorities on the

:09:07.:09:12.

street was very visible. Nicolas Maduro was delighted, there he is

:09:13.:09:15.

celebrating with his supporters and we will look in a minute at his

:09:16.:09:21.

position but this is interesting, in the last few minutes we have heard

:09:22.:09:26.

the US Treasury Department would designate Nicolas Maduro for

:09:27.:09:31.

sanctions for undermining democracy. That is a congressional source

:09:32.:09:36.

talking to Reuters, saying the Treasury may look to target the

:09:37.:09:41.

president himself with sanctions. Let's talk to will ground, live in

:09:42.:09:47.

Caracas. If that report proves to be true, it's another piece of evidence

:09:48.:09:52.

of how Venezuela or its president is becoming a united front huge swathes

:09:53.:09:59.

of the international community. -- a united. The US said it would take

:10:00.:10:05.

swift and strong action in the wake of the vote and this would appear to

:10:06.:10:12.

be targeted action against top members of the administration, in

:10:13.:10:17.

this case Nicolas Maduro himself. They have already taken sanctions

:10:18.:10:22.

against 13 members of feathers ministration and the US Treasury

:10:23.:10:27.

Secretary described him as a dictator, saying yesterday's

:10:28.:10:32.

illegitimate elections confirm he is a dictator who disregards the will

:10:33.:10:38.

of the people, so they are not brokering any kind of dissent on

:10:39.:10:41.

this, they are clear this is a step towards dictator ship and they will

:10:42.:10:45.

be taking actions against him personally in terms of freezing his

:10:46.:10:50.

assets or any assets he has in the US. We should point out that America

:10:51.:10:57.

has a long history of interfering in democracies in Latin America and has

:10:58.:11:03.

not quite such a long history of opposing not just Nicolas Maduro but

:11:04.:11:08.

his predecessor, Hugo Chavez. Mr Chavez and US, and President Obama

:11:09.:11:18.

and George Bush Junior, were at loggerheads through his time in

:11:19.:11:24.

office, Washington has a long and bloody and shameful history in Latin

:11:25.:11:29.

America, the involvement of the CAA in and doing democratic elections

:11:30.:11:38.

from 1954 in court mother right through until Cuba, who has felt the

:11:39.:11:43.

brunt of Washington policies towards it over the decades. On this, I feel

:11:44.:11:52.

like the vast majority of Venezuelans are internally moving

:11:53.:11:56.

against the government now because they are tired of his policies they

:11:57.:12:03.

don't think they are working, they are experiencing long queues,

:12:04.:12:08.

rampant inflation, rising crime, he is no Hugo Chavis but that

:12:09.:12:15.

traditional supporters of travellers are also rejecting him. If I were

:12:16.:12:21.

with you in Caracas, would I be aware of the unrest or visit quite

:12:22.:12:26.

localised? You probably would. You have to be just around by motor bike

:12:27.:12:32.

a lot because barricades are set up on street corners, a lot of people

:12:33.:12:38.

are not going out so there is an eerie calm quite often. I lived in

:12:39.:12:46.

Caracas for several years and it is a choking, chaotic, traffic ridden

:12:47.:12:50.

city but not at the moment, you can barely see any cars and the country

:12:51.:12:55.

feels like it's in a strange limbo as everyone waits to see what the

:12:56.:13:02.

next step is. Well, thank you. We have also be live in Washington, but

:13:03.:13:04.

next we will stay here in London. The British Prime Minister's

:13:05.:13:06.

spokesperson has insisted that the free movement of people

:13:07.:13:10.

will end in March 2019 when the UK It follows days of public

:13:11.:13:14.

disagreement between cabinet ministers over what immigration

:13:15.:13:17.

rules will be after Brexit. Some viewers might think, I thought

:13:18.:13:33.

we knew where the government stood on this. This is a familiar refrain

:13:34.:13:41.

from the Prime Minister, reaffirming the position that free movement will

:13:42.:13:46.

come to an end in March 2019, but this is a central issue and has been

:13:47.:13:50.

central in the referendum and in recent weeks we have had Cabinet

:13:51.:13:55.

ministers putting competing views about what they would like to see in

:13:56.:14:00.

the immediate aftermath of Brexit, there is now a consensus there will

:14:01.:14:05.

be some interim arrangement, some are calling it a transitional deal

:14:06.:14:10.

and what exactly happens in this implementation period is what has

:14:11.:14:15.

been up for discussion, various ministers taking to the airwaves to

:14:16.:14:20.

present their ideas, Philip Hammond suggesting nothing will really

:14:21.:14:24.

change on the day we leave and new migration rules might take some time

:14:25.:14:31.

to come into force but Theresa May's spokesperson says free movement is

:14:32.:14:35.

coming to an end, according to the government in March 2019. In

:14:36.:14:41.

different circumstances if ministers behave like this they might get

:14:42.:14:44.

their marching orders but these are not normal circumstances. No, there

:14:45.:14:52.

has been signs of Cabinet in discipline, Theresa May have to

:14:53.:14:55.

chastise ministers for leaking details of meetings to the press and

:14:56.:15:02.

has had to reassert authority after days of squabbles from competing

:15:03.:15:06.

camps in the Cabinet, from readers and Remainer is debating in public

:15:07.:15:11.

about what they would like to see in terms of the deal, whether it would

:15:12.:15:17.

defy the result of the referendum, so Theresa May trying to stamp

:15:18.:15:21.

authority and cite this is what is happening but whether ministers will

:15:22.:15:28.

pay attention, there are many weeks to go while Parliament is on

:15:29.:15:33.

holiday. Thank you, Leila. In the few minutes we will turn to

:15:34.:15:39.

Afghanistan because there is been a suicide attack outside the Iraqi

:15:40.:15:43.

embassy in Kabul. The Islamic State group is aiming responsibility. We

:15:44.:15:49.

will look at the consequences but also the broader issues it raises of

:15:50.:15:51.

how to take on IS. The government wants to recruit

:15:52.:16:11.

another 21,000 mental health workers. The Royal College of

:16:12.:16:17.

Nursing has questioned whether enough new staff can be trained in

:16:18.:16:21.

time that Jeremy Hunt says he is confident. There are people who were

:16:22.:16:28.

trained in mental health and psychiatrists who are not currently

:16:29.:16:32.

in the NHS and we have a programme to attract them back and we want to

:16:33.:16:38.

say to them, we probably have the biggest expansion in mental health

:16:39.:16:42.

provision at Europe, we are proud of what you're doing but we still have

:16:43.:16:48.

too many people in this country, where a jungle life is blighted

:16:49.:16:52.

because we're not getting them the mental health care they need quickly

:16:53.:16:53.

enough. The New York Times is reporting

:16:54.:17:11.

that the president has fired Anthony Scaramucci, his new director of

:17:12.:17:17.

indications who was only hired ten On that subject, we can guess what

:17:18.:17:28.

questions the White House spokesperson might get asked. Let's

:17:29.:17:35.

listen. He does not have a role at this time in the Trump

:17:36.:17:39.

Administration, we put out a statement earlier announcing that

:17:40.:17:46.

and I don't have much else to say. Did General Kelly ask him to leave

:17:47.:17:50.

or did the president asked him to leave? Did he volunteer? I will not

:17:51.:17:58.

get into the process. What matters most to us is not who was employed

:17:59.:18:02.

in the White House but he was employed in the rest of the country,

:18:03.:18:09.

we are focused on the President's agenda of growing the economy and

:18:10.:18:16.

creating jobs. Was it a chain of command issue because Scaramucci

:18:17.:18:20.

said he had a direct line of communication to the President?

:18:21.:18:24.

There has been speculation that General Kelly may have tried to

:18:25.:18:29.

tighten up, so was it something about the chain of command or didn't

:18:30.:18:33.

have anything to do with the interview he gave last week? The

:18:34.:18:39.

president felt that Anthony's comments were inappropriate for a

:18:40.:18:43.

person in that position and he didn't want to burden General Kelly

:18:44.:18:48.

with that line of succession, as I think we have made clear over the

:18:49.:18:54.

course of the last few days, General Kelly has the full authority to

:18:55.:18:58.

operate within the White House and all staff report to him. When you

:18:59.:19:04.

say you didn't want to burden him with that line of succession, could

:19:05.:19:09.

you clarify one point about this chain of command, apparently Jarrod

:19:10.:19:15.

Kushner and Donald Trump said they look forward to following General

:19:16.:19:20.

Kelly's lead, will that conduit of people with access to the president

:19:21.:19:24.

been narrowed down or will everything flow through General

:19:25.:19:29.

Kelly? The president has given full authority to General Kelly. This

:19:30.:19:38.

statement about the White House says Mr Scaramucci felt it was best to

:19:39.:19:42.

give John Kelly a clean state to build his own team but you just said

:19:43.:19:46.

the president felt his comments were inappropriate. I don't see those as

:19:47.:19:53.

being mutually exclusive. Anthony once General Kelly to be able to

:19:54.:19:59.

operate with a clean slate grabbed the president felt his comments were

:20:00.:20:04.

inappropriate. With the new hierarchy with General Kelly, tell

:20:05.:20:07.

us what it looks like with this administration. General Kelly will

:20:08.:20:14.

bring a new structure to the White House and discipline and strength

:20:15.:20:19.

and we're all excited to work him and I will not draw a chart appear

:20:20.:20:25.

but we will keep you guys posted. Stephen Bannon, everyone reports to

:20:26.:20:31.

him rather than going to the press, does everyone go to General Kelly

:20:32.:20:37.

first? General Kelly has the full authority to carry out business. I

:20:38.:20:48.

have a real quick one regarding Sean Spicer, will he be in the

:20:49.:20:52.

administration in anyway now that Anthony Scaramucci will not be part

:20:53.:20:57.

of the administration? I'm not aware of any changes. Ten days ago Anthony

:20:58.:21:05.

Scaramucci was introduced as the new communications director and is now

:21:06.:21:09.

out of a job. The president announced there is no chaos at the

:21:10.:21:14.

White House. How would you describe what has happened over the past ten

:21:15.:21:20.

days? You agree with your boss the president there is no chaos but how

:21:21.:21:24.

would you explain that not to be the case? If you want to see chaos, come

:21:25.:21:33.

to my house with three preschoolers. Just to be clear, that is not an

:21:34.:21:37.

open invitation to my house but if you guys want to shed your

:21:38.:21:41.

baby-sitting time, I will be happy to work that out. Does the president

:21:42.:21:50.

regret hiring Anthony Scaramucci? I will not get into anything on that

:21:51.:21:57.

front. You said that Scaramucci felt so you are saying this was his

:21:58.:22:05.

decision. Was it? The president felt it was inappropriate, Anthony and

:22:06.:22:09.

General Kelly came to a mutual agreement and we are focusing on the

:22:10.:22:16.

jobs outside this building. Just to clarify because I want to make sure

:22:17.:22:22.

I understand the word he's here, he didn't want to burden General Kelly

:22:23.:22:26.

with that line of succession. The president. So it was the president

:22:27.:22:35.

deciding... We all serve at the pleasure of the president but this

:22:36.:22:42.

was a mutually agreed conversation. On Russia sanctions, did you know

:22:43.:22:48.

whether the president intends to sign the Russia sanctions bill and

:22:49.:22:53.

why hasn't the president taken the opportunities he has had today to

:22:54.:22:57.

say something in response to Vladimir Putin's retaliation with

:22:58.:23:08.

that 755. We put out a statement stating the President's intent to

:23:09.:23:12.

sign and we will let you know when that is going to take place. In

:23:13.:23:16.

terms of your second question, the follow-up? Why hasn't he taken the

:23:17.:23:24.

chance to say something to President Putin, it is striking the silence

:23:25.:23:30.

from the president with no response, he had a couple of chances to say

:23:31.:23:35.

something about it and didn't. We are reviewing our options and we

:23:36.:23:39.

have something to say on that, we will let you know. You said earlier

:23:40.:23:46.

all staff will report to the new chief of staff, does that include Mr

:23:47.:23:52.

Kushner and Mr Bannon? That includes everyone at the White House. Will

:23:53.:23:59.

the administration support the tax overhaul that comes out of the ways

:24:00.:24:05.

and Means committee. We pitted a joint statement with the big six, we

:24:06.:24:09.

will continue working with them and announce details. When Sean Spicer

:24:10.:24:16.

resigned it was for a clean slate, now that Scaramucci has resigned, it

:24:17.:24:22.

is also for a clean slate. Is the slate completely clean or should we

:24:23.:24:30.

expect any more shake-ups? Is the staff settled? They are. Is there

:24:31.:24:40.

any chance you will leave the job of communications director alone,

:24:41.:24:42.

having had two people leave rather abruptly? We will let you know when

:24:43.:24:50.

we have any personnel announcements. When the president made his speech

:24:51.:24:56.

to police on Friday, within minutes statements came from police chiefs

:24:57.:25:02.

across the country criticising his remarks that seem to endorse the use

:25:03.:25:07.

of force by police in search arrests. Was the president joking

:25:08.:25:13.

when he said this or did he checked his remarks with the International

:25:14.:25:16.

Association of police chiefs or the Attorney General? I believe he was

:25:17.:25:25.

making a joke. The statement says Anthony Scaramucci is no longer with

:25:26.:25:29.

the Administration, was he fired by the president or asked to resign? I

:25:30.:25:37.

will not get into any more. You said this was back and forth

:25:38.:25:41.

conversation, can you take us through what the president is

:25:42.:25:45.

looking for in the communications job, why he might make clean slate?

:25:46.:25:52.

I believe he wants to work with General Kelly in the communications

:25:53.:25:56.

team intact right now and determine the best course forward. On reports

:25:57.:26:03.

that Attorney General Sessions is being considered for homeland

:26:04.:26:07.

security chief accurate? How soon will dot search be complete? There

:26:08.:26:15.

are no conversations about any cabinet members moving and the

:26:16.:26:19.

president has confidence in all members of his cabinet. One question

:26:20.:26:25.

on the Scaramucci issue, you said the president found his remarks

:26:26.:26:30.

inappropriate. Can you specify what he found inappropriate? He found it

:26:31.:26:37.

inappropriate for a person in that position. I believe the comments he

:26:38.:26:42.

made, he found them inappropriate. Is it up the trail of the rest of

:26:43.:26:49.

the staff? You talk about the messaging for the president and the

:26:50.:26:53.

communications department is crucial so am trying to find out what went

:26:54.:26:56.

wrong between this morning and this afternoon. I don't think it's

:26:57.:27:02.

complex to understand the president found the remarks inappropriate. I

:27:03.:27:12.

cannot explain it further. We had some speculation about the

:27:13.:27:18.

possibility of a first strike. Is that option on the table? The

:27:19.:27:23.

president will not broadcast any decisions but all options are on the

:27:24.:27:33.

table. The president signed an executive order on infrastructure,

:27:34.:27:40.

does that mean the president has no intention and will not be a tide

:27:41.:27:45.

working with Congress on the infrastructure build? Is there any

:27:46.:27:50.

discussion about moving forward with any legislation for infrastructure,

:27:51.:27:56.

especially digital? The president has been outspoken on the need for a

:27:57.:28:01.

massive overhaul to the country's infrastructure and that is still a

:28:02.:28:06.

priority in any capacity he has the ability to carry that out. We have

:28:07.:28:14.

seen the chief of staff, deputy chief of staff, communications

:28:15.:28:19.

directors and national security adviser all leave in six months. Can

:28:20.:28:24.

you tell us why there has been all this turbulence? I know you don't

:28:25.:28:27.

like to get into the process but what is going on? We are focusing on

:28:28.:28:34.

the President's agenda. We will let you know when there are staff

:28:35.:28:38.

changes but what matters to us are not the jobs in this building but

:28:39.:28:43.

the ones outside, that is why the president has been focused on

:28:44.:28:48.

growing jobs. We have created over 1 million new jobs since he took

:28:49.:28:55.

office, the lowest unemployment in 16 years. We are focused on

:28:56.:28:59.

recruiting a strong economy and growing jobs outside this building,

:29:00.:29:06.

not the ones with them. A follow-up on health care. Nick Mulvey in White

:29:07.:29:11.

House does want any votes in the Senate until they are in the Senate

:29:12.:29:19.

and you are also pushing for the nominees, is the White House's

:29:20.:29:24.

position to accept voting on non-healthcare things in the next

:29:25.:29:29.

few months? We're pushing forward with the repeal and replace of

:29:30.:29:41.

Obamacare, we will continue that. The President's tax reform

:29:42.:29:44.

admissions were being discussed and can you elaborate on his hope to

:29:45.:29:48.

travel in August to begin to talk about tax cuts and tax reform and

:29:49.:29:55.

his interest in getting some Democratic senators to support his

:29:56.:30:00.

legislation. You have any details about where he might go and his

:30:01.:30:05.

message? Not at this time but we will keep you guys posted on his

:30:06.:30:09.

travel schedule in August and he hopes to have a large amount of

:30:10.:30:15.

support for tax reform, it is vital to our economy and something the

:30:16.:30:20.

administration is focused on and will continue working with the house

:30:21.:30:23.

and Senate and members of the Administration.

:30:24.:30:25.

For that was Barbara Huckabee saunters and off she went as if we

:30:26.:30:33.

have planted which will of course we didn't. Barbara, what to make of

:30:34.:30:40.

that, she did not tell as anything? She told us a couple of things, she

:30:41.:30:46.

said that the president felt it was because of Anthony Scaramucci's

:30:47.:30:48.

comments last week presumably she was referring to his interview last

:30:49.:30:52.

week in which he used a lot profanity when talking about members

:30:53.:30:57.

of staff. She said he felt they were inappropriate, I did recall Mr Trump

:30:58.:31:01.

saying anything directly about the interview before so that is clear he

:31:02.:31:06.

felt that was inappropriate. According to her. She'll is said the

:31:07.:31:10.

president did not want to bat in general tally with the line of

:31:11.:31:14.

succession by that she clarified she meant that Mr Scarr amici have the

:31:15.:31:19.

arrangement way he could report directly to the president and Mr

:31:20.:31:23.

Kelly is coming in to tighten adult so that they would put the president

:31:24.:31:26.

threw him and to survey the Mr Trump felt, according to the spokeswoman,

:31:27.:31:30.

but she did not want the Buddha Mr Kelly with. Those were the two

:31:31.:31:36.

reason she gave. Also, interestingly, she said it was a

:31:37.:31:40.

decision that was made mutually among the three people, the

:31:41.:31:44.

president, Mr Kelly and Anthony Scaramucci and also she was asked

:31:45.:31:48.

about the reporting, she said that everyone at the White House would

:31:49.:31:52.

report to Mr Kelly rather than direct to the president and she was

:31:53.:31:55.

asked several that mean everybody does it mean his mean his daughter,

:31:56.:31:58.

his son-in-law and she said everybody. She said that Mr Kerry

:31:59.:32:02.

would bring new structure and discipline to the White House of the

:32:03.:32:05.

message is very much that we are going to try and eliminate this

:32:06.:32:10.

chaotic lines of communication from the White House. The chief of staff

:32:11.:32:15.

will be required to do the job that achieve of staff have to do which is

:32:16.:32:19.

to be the main man falling communication to the president. That

:32:20.:32:25.

was her message today. -- bundling communication. Thank you come back

:32:26.:32:29.

to a city find out anything else. The problems these press conferences

:32:30.:32:32.

is that at any point the president could pick of his own and start

:32:33.:32:38.

tweeting and everything the press conference Doll -- everything be

:32:39.:32:39.

turned upside down. Charlie Wolf a Republican

:32:40.:32:41.

broadcaster and commentator What did you make of that? The White

:32:42.:32:50.

House was by hierarchy and hasn't had needs to run like a military

:32:51.:32:55.

operation. General Kelly was put into Titan of the ship and he's

:32:56.:33:00.

taking control and he probably he would make that as a demand that if

:33:01.:33:04.

he was going to take over the ship at the Titan adult like a Marine

:33:05.:33:10.

unit. A 4-star general Marine knows how to do that. Anthony Scaramucci

:33:11.:33:13.

was out, it was not the image, I thought it was interesting in the

:33:14.:33:18.

beginning the first press appearance he made was very good I thought then

:33:19.:33:23.

the phone call, it makes it look like the New York fingers great

:33:24.:33:27.

putter gets the point where it looks like you have someone from's the

:33:28.:33:37.

King of Queens. Yes but Mr Trump new what Anthony Scaramucci was like, Mr

:33:38.:33:40.

Trump has been critical of people firing this pokes people it is not

:33:41.:33:45.

weighted as a? I think the president was looking for someone who

:33:46.:33:51.

understood him, originally, that was his people outside of his daughter

:33:52.:33:55.

and his son-in-law, these were all elite Washington establishment

:33:56.:34:00.

people, person three macro Anthony Scaramucci was from the

:34:01.:34:04.

neighbourhood, from Queens, made good not a communications person,

:34:05.:34:09.

half the trains, lawyer, financier very smart. The opening press

:34:10.:34:13.

conference in very good but again... Feels like a long time ago. I think

:34:14.:34:23.

he is realising, he is understanding how it works. Also the thing with

:34:24.:34:26.

General Kelly you have to remember is that he's the main source, the

:34:27.:34:30.

main conduit to the Congress as well as making sure to plan the

:34:31.:34:37.

President's schedule, the president has not had an easy time because of

:34:38.:34:44.

his pod club. Hold on, the chief of staff who was just left was the

:34:45.:34:51.

person the perfect man. Even he couldn't do it? General Kelly is

:34:52.:34:55.

above all that, he is an independent, and Marine General who

:34:56.:34:58.

has served in combat and had had a son who was Alli gave his life in

:34:59.:35:04.

combat as well. There is nothing you can hold an General Kelly, he has

:35:05.:35:08.

gravitas and: So when he goes to Congress and says, listen we don't

:35:09.:35:11.

have the stuff that we need because you have not been improving them, I

:35:12.:35:16.

need these people, it will get done. It will be run with marine

:35:17.:35:20.

efficiency it will be run like a house runs even better. The trouble

:35:21.:35:25.

is when he was a military commander he was in charge of everybody, and

:35:26.:35:30.

when he said jumps people jumped, but now he has a boss who by all

:35:31.:35:34.

accounts cannot be controlled by anyone, he is his own man. I think

:35:35.:35:38.

there will have to be a mixture of the two, Donald Trump is going to be

:35:39.:35:45.

his own man, and in lean leans you get to know your situation and you

:35:46.:35:49.

adapt to your surroundings, and the General Kelly was that to his

:35:50.:35:52.

surroundings and he will make it work ensure he will told the

:35:53.:35:55.

president and given council when needed, maybe some will be taken and

:35:56.:35:59.

somewhere to be taken put his job is to make sure that the rest of the

:36:00.:36:03.

ship works tightly around him and he will clog like a good sailor -- he

:36:04.:36:10.

will plug the leaks like a big sale -- he'll plug the leaks like a good

:36:11.:36:12.

sailor. How we have reports that Qatar has

:36:13.:36:25.

filed a complaint with the well-trained organisation. Here's a

:36:26.:36:35.

tweet... Remember those three countries severed ties with Qatar

:36:36.:36:41.

back in June, we've talked about a lot, they accuse Qatar is the

:36:42.:36:44.

terrorism something that cannot Alli denies. -- something that Qatar

:36:45.:36:53.

denies. They have stopped flights to Doha, and on top of the land border

:36:54.:36:57.

with Saudi Arabia has been closed which was used to import 40% of

:36:58.:37:01.

Qatar's food, you can imagine the consequences that. Live from New

:37:02.:37:07.

York, good to see is the mirror, guess the question here is what

:37:08.:37:13.

influence, what pressure could the WTO apply even if it concluded that

:37:14.:37:18.

Qatar had a point? The world trade organisation is really responsible

:37:19.:37:21.

for adjudicating any sort of trade disputes and what Qatar has said in

:37:22.:37:27.

their complaint is that these countries are using coercive

:37:28.:37:32.

attempts at economic isolation. By complaining to the WTO Qatar is

:37:33.:37:36.

enforcing all three countries to the table to try and resolve the dispute

:37:37.:37:42.

and if they don't then they could face litigation with the WTO, so

:37:43.:37:47.

they could face quite a bit of pressure from them. Most countries

:37:48.:37:51.

would want to avoid that. Now, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab emirate

:37:52.:37:57.

money of the country have all said that if Qatar does this they will

:37:58.:38:02.

cite national security as the reasoning. That is an exemption that

:38:03.:38:06.

is allowed under the WTO but it is seldom used. Was the time brain on

:38:07.:38:13.

this what is the procedure? Now they have opened up a 60 day period in

:38:14.:38:19.

which all of these countries have to sit down and come to some sort of

:38:20.:38:21.

discussion and at about 60 day discussion and at about 60 day

:38:22.:38:25.

period have expired then it becomes part of the deep WTO and what they

:38:26.:38:31.

decide. -- part of the WTO are what they decide to adjudicate. I'm sure

:38:32.:38:33.

we will told that my. On Friday, North Korea test-fired

:38:34.:38:39.

another intercontinental These pictures supposedly show it -

:38:40.:38:40.

and what's worried the country's neighbours is that these pictures

:38:41.:38:44.

were shot in Hokkaido, Japan. North Korea claims that the entire

:38:45.:38:48.

US is now within its striking range. We can't be sure if that is true but

:38:49.:39:00.

inevitably it is a concern for Donald Trump. He was asked what he

:39:01.:39:05.

is in the do about it. We will handle North Korea we will be able

:39:06.:39:11.

to. It will be handled. We handle everything, thank you very much. Not

:39:12.:39:16.

a whole lot of detail there but we do know that the Americans will not

:39:17.:39:18.

call UN Security Council meeting. Nikki Haley, the US

:39:19.:39:26.

ambassador to the UN said... To state the obvious this is all a

:39:27.:39:47.

blow for those hoping for a de-escalation attention on the

:39:48.:39:52.

Korean peninsula. As you may know there is a demilitarised zone

:39:53.:39:55.

between North and the South and the BBC's Karen Allen has been there.

:39:56.:39:59.

This is some of the report she has sent.

:40:00.:40:03.

Beyond the barbed wire lines North Korea and this incredible wall trait

:40:04.:40:08.

in the bids contains messages to people on the other side many rum

:40:09.:40:13.

loved ones. This one is written in England and says "Grandpa and

:40:14.:40:17.

grandma I have made it, unification one day." That is a hope for the

:40:18.:40:23.

future but many people's eyes are on what is happening now and I hope a

:40:24.:40:27.

de-escalation following the missile test that happened on Friday. Donald

:40:28.:40:32.

Trump is expected to hold talks, telephone talks with the president

:40:33.:40:36.

of South Korea he was on vacation at the moment but he is going to want

:40:37.:40:40.

to talk about shoring up missile defences here in South Korea.

:40:41.:40:45.

President Trump has also spoken to the Japanese Prime Minister but they

:40:46.:40:49.

have had no discussions specifically on any military action. Well more

:40:50.:40:54.

from Karen in South Korea in a moment I also want to tell you that

:40:55.:40:58.

the weekend in Alaska America tested this... It's anti-missile system, it

:40:59.:41:07.

destroys missiles in the last stage of their flight. I mention that

:41:08.:41:12.

because already as Karen was mentioning the Americans have

:41:13.:41:15.

installed that system in South Korea. Also at the weekend the

:41:16.:41:20.

Americans rejects over peninsulas, China is opposed that happening

:41:21.:41:23.

President Trump doesn't seem overly concerned on Sunday he took the

:41:24.:41:25.

Twitter to say... Thart language from the president,

:41:26.:41:44.

Mark and distant from the line which he used when the Chinese leader

:41:45.:41:49.

visited him a couple of months ago. Here is Karen again in China's

:41:50.:41:54.

position. People are wondering how much influence the Shana really have

:41:55.:41:59.

certainly people here have links to China, many of them have family to

:42:00.:42:03.

China. It is true that it's responsible for about 90% of all

:42:04.:42:07.

trade with North Korea, China the instance, provide cheap fuel which

:42:08.:42:14.

powers the tanks and power stations in place of Korea. It is condemned

:42:15.:42:19.

the test and has very little appetite any kind of military

:42:20.:42:23.

confrontation after all that could result in millions of North Korean

:42:24.:42:27.

refugees flooding across in Chinese borders. As the Donald Trump's

:42:28.:42:34.

tweet, that China could solve this problem while the Chinese newspapers

:42:35.:42:38.

as saying he is simply wrong. It is not that simple.

:42:39.:42:49.

Officials century say they have struck a deal will hold the Olympic

:42:50.:42:59.

games in 2000 22. Reports say the International Olympic Committee will

:43:00.:43:01.

confirm the arrangement in the coming hours. Let's talk live on the

:43:02.:43:11.

BBC sports Centre. Reports make it sound like it's a done deal.

:43:12.:43:16.

Absolutely outspoken to the LA City Council about this and they believe

:43:17.:43:21.

that the eyes need to be dotted and the tease me to be crossed. If you

:43:22.:43:28.

look at this Boston pulled out earlier on and you had Rome, Hamburg

:43:29.:43:33.

and Budapest what this does for the AAC in the IPC is it gives them the

:43:34.:43:37.

opportunity to plan ahead and know what is happening to those 2024 and

:43:38.:43:45.

2028 games, it has not been LA since 1984, fantastic games then, the USA

:43:46.:43:49.

have not posted it sits at an 21996 and also means that France, the

:43:50.:43:53.

powerless, it is a get out of jail card for them as it means they get

:43:54.:43:58.

those 2024 games and this is 100 years since Paris lost hope in the

:43:59.:44:01.

Olympics. The verb is great news and the LA it will be an outstanding

:44:02.:44:08.

games as well. Financially good incentive for both countries. Good

:44:09.:44:12.

for the ICC because it is having more and more trouble finding cities

:44:13.:44:17.

willing to take this on. I mention about Boston, Rome, Budapest there

:44:18.:44:20.

is that pulled out. He gives them the opportunity to plan ahead for

:44:21.:44:25.

years to come so we are then looking at 2032, your member that Paris

:44:26.:44:28.

missed out on 2004 the London is a disappointment that there the them

:44:29.:44:32.

also financially they believe this will be the best one for them and

also the LA. Wire thank you very much indeed. In a few minutes an

One of cricket's greats was bowled another googlie today -

this time from aTest Match Special commentary colleague.

:44:57.:44:58.

Here's what happened when Geoff Boycott was told one

:44:59.:45:00.

of his most famous innings was about to be scrubbed

:45:01.:45:02.

It is not what I was thinking. It is a statistical, I'm not good at these

:45:03.:45:17.

"Further to the recent request from South African government the ICC has

that series played against the spirit of the Denny Gold agreement

female, they were found just outside the outskirts of Nairobi there was a

:48:47.:48:50.

press conference later and his boss, the chair of the electoral body said

:48:51.:48:54.

there was no doubt that he had been tortured port so that he had had one

:48:55.:48:59.

of his arms cut off. What is very chilling about this is that there

:49:00.:49:04.

was no attempt to pretend this was an accident or hide the fact that

:49:05.:49:10.

this was a cold-blooded murder. Is electronic voting are politically

:49:11.:49:15.

potent issue? It is, it goes back to 2007 when we have a devastating

:49:16.:49:18.

result of the post-election violence one thing that came out of that was

:49:19.:49:25.

a commission which found that in order to stop things like ballot

:49:26.:49:30.

stuffing and double registration of voters and some of the fraudulent

:49:31.:49:33.

activities that went on it was important to have more technology

:49:34.:49:37.

put into the mix to stop some of those things. This white Kenya has

:49:38.:49:41.

been pushing electronic voting since then. This was a disaster when they

:49:42.:49:47.

last tried to use it? Unfortunately power cuts made it difficult. Even

:49:48.:49:52.

simple things like mobile phone that was posed to transmit results were

:49:53.:49:55.

not charged. It did not go quite well and ended up in the Supreme

:49:56.:49:58.

Court where it was eventually established who won the election.

:49:59.:50:03.

Sometimes when I told the Kenyans about their election they say why do

:50:04.:50:05.

is the international media always want more back to 2007 would there

:50:06.:50:09.

will be problems coming you should be more positive? I guess events

:50:10.:50:14.

like this play into the narrative that this is a tense affair. There

:50:15.:50:19.

was one saying we can go to witches it is not the one who counts but the

:50:20.:50:27.

one count the votes. I think that is something a lot of Kenyans are

:50:28.:50:31.

thinking about, can we trust the bodies and the botanic offices there

:50:32.:50:34.

has been a lot of things going on whether it is amending the law to

:50:35.:50:37.

make sure you can have a manual voting system as a back-up there are

:50:38.:50:42.

a lot of things that have gone on the Kenyans are not so sure. There

:50:43.:50:44.

was definitely left to their winning to look forward and Stratford peeps

:50:45.:50:48.

but there was also bit of webby this people think about what is the best

:50:49.:50:53.

way to get there. Peace must be had but just as as well.

:50:54.:50:58.

A row involving Apple - and about internet censorship.

:50:59.:51:00.

This is about virtual private networks, or VPNs -

:51:01.:51:02.

and Apple's decision to remove them from its App store in China.

:51:03.:51:06.

VPNs allow you to access online material by directing your internet

:51:07.:51:10.

It means users can then access censored or blocked websites -

:51:11.:51:20.

without giving away their real location.

:51:21.:51:25.

If you can't get to a website of your government is stopping you. You

:51:26.:51:34.

can access website because you are not giving weight your real

:51:35.:51:35.

location. Apple's removed 60 VPNs

:51:36.:51:35.

from its app store - that will make it much hard

:51:36.:51:37.

for Chinese users to get around China's tough

:51:38.:51:40.

restrictions on internet usage. VPNs are the way of life for a lot

:51:41.:51:54.

of internet uses in China. Anyone who wants to access the big sites

:51:55.:52:01.

that barred inside China, Facebook, Twitter, Google or a host of a new

:52:02.:52:05.

site about inside China will need a VPN in order to do that. Business

:52:06.:52:09.

people use them a lot in order to research products overseas or to

:52:10.:52:12.

market products overseas leaving just used things like Gmail, things

:52:13.:52:16.

are really common when doing business are lots of other places.

:52:17.:52:24.

The Chinese government is really cracking down on VPNs this year in

:52:25.:52:29.

particular because the political environment in China is quite tense

:52:30.:52:33.

at the moment, it the end of this year there was going to be a very

:52:34.:52:37.

important political conference in China with the next generation of

:52:38.:52:40.

Chinese leaders are expected to be unveiled. At the moment the Chinese

:52:41.:52:45.

government really is imposing even stricter centres and controls than

:52:46.:52:49.

it normally would. That is probably why Apple has finally given in to

:52:50.:52:55.

pressure to remove VPN apps from its App Store inside China. China is a

:52:56.:53:02.

really important market for Apple, it represents about 20% of all the

:53:03.:53:10.

companies's sales. It is also very important manufacturing base for

:53:11.:53:15.

Apple it gets a third company, Fox,, to manufacture many of its iPhones,

:53:16.:53:21.

iPods and other devices in militant China said the country is really

:53:22.:53:24.

important in maintaining good relations. -- in mainland China. We

:53:25.:53:30.

can see they value this relationship was over time Apple has been given

:53:31.:53:35.

to a lot of Chinese government laws and regulations on all sorts of

:53:36.:53:39.

things. For example start of the year Apple removed the New York

:53:40.:53:43.

Times at Comet Apple Store inside China, the New York Times is banned

:53:44.:53:47.

in China because of its reporting and now the New times app is longer

:53:48.:53:52.

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

:53:53.:53:57.

to the Chinese government's request to install data servers in the

:53:58.:54:00.

Chinese mainland. It is tried to reassure its government customers

:54:01.:54:05.

that it will keep data but many people think this will mean that

:54:06.:54:08.

Apple will hand over some of that data to the Chinese government when

:54:09.:54:15.

requested. Now we have Apple's announcement or its acknowledgement

:54:16.:54:18.

that VPN apps are also not on sale in the App Store so it just goes to

:54:19.:54:25.

underline this ongoing demand by the Chinese government for Apple to give

:54:26.:54:31.

in to certain laws and regulations and Apple says it simply is

:54:32.:54:33.

following the rules and regulations of the country in which it operates.

:54:34.:54:39.

Just the amount due in case you've been away from the television or

:54:40.:54:46.
