:01:48. > :01:54.At a time that the United States is trying to hold together a very

:02:15. > :02:19.possible they may be heading and striking Syrian forces, they put a
:02:20. > :02:23.halt to those in strikes. No, it does say in this statement that they
:02:24. > :02:27.would never intentionally strike Syrian forces and they would be
:02:28. > :02:33.looking to see what lessons could be learned. To mitigate it, they said
:02:34. > :02:37.they had been tracking this particular group of Islamic State
:02:38. > :02:41.forces for some time. They say they have been carrying out strikes in
:02:42. > :02:45.this area for some time and they had told their Russian could the parts
:02:46. > :02:50.about these coalition strikes. As I said earlier, at this very time when

:02:56. > :02:59.when Russia has been accusing the United States of not doing enough to

:03:11. > :03:17.What chance now of them coordinating an ear strikes?
:03:18. > :03:21.That was a Russia's accusation all along. They said they really want to
:03:22. > :03:26.negotiate with the United States, they want to know of the positions
:03:27. > :03:31.and use their intelligence and it is something that yesterday during the
:03:32. > :03:37.White House briefing, a number of reporters brought up that there was
:03:38. > :03:40.disquiet in the Pentagon that if the spire holds, that position is known
:03:41. > :03:47.to the Pentagon may be made known to the Russians. If the ceasefire
:03:48. > :03:51.holds, that is what the Secretary of State, John Kerry, has promised the
:03:52. > :03:55.Russians but only if the ceasefire holds. The United States position on
:03:56. > :04:04.a ceasefire is that if the humanitarian aid needed in Sevier
:04:05. > :04:11.does not get through, there will be no deal on negotiations to fate

:08:35. > :08:40.you have never seen before. I think that her bodyguards drop all
:08:41. > :08:46.weapons. They should disarm. Right? I think they should disarm,
:08:47. > :08:50.immediately? What do you think? Yes? Take their guns away. She doesn't
:08:51. > :08:55.want guns. Let's see what happens to her. Take their guns away. OK? It
:08:56. > :08:59.would be very dangerous. Well, here's the statement from
:09:00. > :09:01.Hillary Clinton's campaign manager. He says "Donald Trump has a pattern
:09:02. > :09:05.of inciting people to violence. Whether this is done
:09:06. > :09:15.to provoke protesters or casually or even as a joke
:09:16. > :09:17.it is an unacceptable in anyone seeking the job

:09:28. > :09:41.reporter with The Washington This is not the first time he has
:09:42. > :09:44.made similar comments. How has this content? Reaction is a little bit
:09:45. > :09:49.muted because it happened only faking it heading into the weekend
:09:50. > :09:53.but this is a really -- this is really a continuation of the a lot
:09:54. > :09:57.of rhetoric that comes on the border of talking about specific acts of
:09:58. > :10:02.violence. He has previously talked about taking guns away from our
:10:03. > :10:05.armed guards and he has also said at one point that he believed people
:10:06. > :10:10.who supported the second Amendment, the right to have guns, they have
:10:11. > :10:13.something to say about the Kent of judges that Halladay Clinton would
:10:14. > :10:19.one day appointed to American courts, so she is right, not close
:10:20. > :10:25.to the fine before and I think last night he got even closer than before
:10:26. > :10:34.to projecting an image of violence against Hillary Clinton -- Hillary
:10:35. > :10:37.Clinton. Once again we have seen her on the back foot trying to defend
:10:38. > :10:45.these kinds of claims. Defender is one way of looking at it. One way is
:10:46. > :10:50.saying that it adds to our case that Donald Trump is not a particularly
:10:51. > :10:54.presidential candidate. She is saying that he cant be trusted, she
:10:55. > :10:58.is too loose with his lips, that he says things that are outrageous and
:10:59. > :11:02.not worthy of the United States president and that is why her
:11:03. > :11:06.campaign put that statement last night. They see an advantage in
:11:07. > :11:11.continuing to press this case that he is just not a serious and well
:11:12. > :11:14.thought out candidate and I think the comment last night and the
:11:15. > :11:19.reaction that we have seen to it in some ways play into the Clinton
:11:20. > :11:23.campaign 's hands. He has a way of dominating what he called the news
:11:24. > :11:30.cycle. What does this do for Americans that are watching? Does it
:11:31. > :11:37.create apathy or are they excited by these sorts of contradictions and
:11:38. > :11:41.these controversial remarks? Well, it is certainly a campaign unlike
:11:42. > :11:44.anything we have seen before, with the kind of comments from a
:11:45. > :11:49.candidate like we have never seen before. He is certainly an
:11:50. > :11:52.unprecedented type of presidential candidate. But it doesn't seem to be
:11:53. > :11:57.something that the American people are impressed with at this point.
:11:58. > :12:02.Donald Trump and Helen the Clinton are both the most unpopular
