mr. trump: absolutely. incentive was taken out of the real estate industry. when the values went down -- and they plummeted, they absolutely plummeted -- billions of dollars worth halfate is now the billions of dollars. charlie: the crisis came about because a lot of savings and loan splendid money to developers that were bad loans that should have never been made. mr. trump: that's true, but a lot of that was exacerbated. a lot of loans that could have been good loans were made into bad loans because of the 1986 tax law change. what that dude is all of a sudden you have resolution trust, and you pay billions and billions. $5 billion inve taxes, we are now paying trillions of dollars. charlie: ron perlman the other day made a billion dollars or something. mr. trump: he is a good man. i hope you didn't make a lot of money -- hope he did make a lot of money. but the government passed a stupid law. charlie: here is the other side, people with great youepreneurial gifts like did there gets extended too far. whe

mr. trump said the temporary ban was necessary while national security officials reviewed mr. obama's vetting procedures. sources say one possible option, stepping up that review even without a travel ban in place. and coming up with tougher new vetting measures that would make much of the executive order unnecessary, avoiding legal problems ahead. >> there is a concern that the reckless manner in which president trump did this order and the litigation that ensued will cause the courts to put authorities. >> reporter: now there is a chance the entire california-based federal appeals court could review thursday's ruling by the three judges and mr. trump could also ask the supreme court to intervene. but scott, if this preliminary phase, that's unlikely. >> pelley: jan crawford in the washington newsroom, thanks. mr. trump's national security advisor retired general michael flynn is under investigation tonight for contacts that he had about with russia's ambassador to the united states. that sounds like normal diplomacy but these conversations came before the inauguration. so on

it slack mr trump may have to pencil ina lot it slack mr trump may have to pencil in a lot more golf, certainly some with resonance xi jinping in a lot more golf, certainly some with resonance xijinping of in a lot more golf, certainly some with resonance xi jinping of china. —— some with president xi jinping. we've just had some figures that show china is still selling far more to the us than the other way round. more than $21 billion in december alone. that puts those japan figures in perspective somewhat. let's go straight over to the singapore bureau, where mariko 0i joins us. i know that you are married to a golfer. a professional golfer, actually. so i want to know, has he told you anything? the japanese run minister, he is a dab hand at golf? i am wondering who is the best, trump or shinzo abe? we do not talk about golf at home, aaron, nor do we talk about news, because we have no interest in each other‘s sessions, unfortunately. buti we have no interest in each other‘s sessions, unfortunately. but i am sure they would both be welcome if they come to singapore, that is

mr. trump: great. we have somebody? >> mr. president, since your election campaign and even after your victory, we have seen a sharp rise in anti-semitic incidents across the united states. and i wonder what do you say among the jewish community and in israel and around the world who believe that your administration is playing with xenophobia and maybe racist tones? agreeime minister, do you the need for israel to restrain and stop settlement activity in the west bank? and to follow-up on my friends question, do you back off from your vision to the end of a conflict, a two-state solution? or do you still supported? thank you. mr. trump: i just want to say we are very honored by the victory that we had, 306 electoral college votes. we were not supposed to crack 220. you know that, right? there was no way to 221, but then they said there's no way to 270 and there's tremendous enthusiasm out there. i will say that we are going to have peace in this country. we are going to stop crime in this country. we are going to do everything

this is mr trump's gripe. the huge area marked in blue represents the proportion of nato's budget that the us picks up. despite the fact it picks up more than any other country, some nato members are not meeting their agreed commitments to the budget. the new us defence secretary james mattis has had to the budget. the new us defence secretaryjames mattis has had his first meeting with nato defence ministers in brussels. he picked up onjust the ministers in brussels. he picked up on just the issues the president has been mentioning. it's absolutely appropriate as a european minister of defence said last week, it's a fair demand that all who benefit from the best defence in the world carry their proportionate share of the necessary cost to defend freedom and we should never forget that ultimately it is freedom that we defend here at nato. we understand a behind closed doors meeting secretary matias said... i.e., show us the money. the bbc‘s jonathan marcus is at nato in brussels. i asked for his assessment of

in this animation studio, they are notjust mocking their own president but mr xi and mr trump as well. we have 1800 missiles pointed our way but at the same time in taiwan we have absolute freedom to do anything we want, so satire is one of the good things we need to push because it helps taiwan to get its name out there. beijing doesn't do satire. it's threatened to retake taiwan by force, and it sailed its aircraft carrier past the island last month to show that it means business. for beijing this, the island of taiwan, is the last piece in a jigsaw. it's the piece they say will finally reunite a nation broken up and humiliated by colonial powers two centuries ago. to let taiwan float off towards independence, or even worse, to let it become part of an american—led alliance against china in these waters, well, that, to beijing, would be unthinkable. the taiwanese navy is no match for china's. it's the american fleet which protects taiwan. back in december, it looked as if donald trump would go further. he took a call from the taiwanese president and hinted at recognition for taiwa

mr abe is pressured by mr trump to for insta nce is pressured by mr trump to for instance appreciate the japanese yen or by american automobiles, which have not been known to sell at all injapan. have not been known to sell at all in japan. that would have not been known to sell at all injapan. that would be considered humiliating, but i don't think mr abe will concede in that way. he already has a financial deal which is offering from that japanese side, so if trump and shinzo abe strike up something which is beneficial to both i think the community will feel optimistic about the trump administration. when all is said and done who do you think will benefit from this us— japan trade business relationship? by intuition right now is that the us will benefit a bit more, but in the long fill the vacuum@ ‘for decades taiwan nuclear power for decades taiwan will stop it ms z.‘.,_.il.i1i1:..,.. nw. by? by'y used into by'y "ice cultivating ' w ' 7 l is ’ helping t5525 helping taiwan these fields are helping taiwan produce more energy. produce more renewable energy. because the soil i

i think it means that mr mattis and mr trump are good negotiators. let's remind ourselves what nato means. we can't have a situation as we had in the run—up to the first world war and the second world war, when an aggressorfought the second world war, when an aggressor fought —— thought it could pick of one country after another in isolation, without the heavens falling in. what nato means is, you attack any of nato's 28 countries, and you are straightaway at war with the united states. so if you want that guarantee, you've got to pay your minimum contribution. it's an insurance policy. and people who don't pay the premiums can expect not to get the benefits. and that would be a disastrous loss to us all. indeed. does that suggest to you that if lithuania decides it is not going to pay its way, or whomever, pleasant out —— president vladimir putin may feel that he can march in there because mr trump is not going to back them? well, that's the danger. obviously mr trump and his defence secretary are trying to do whatever is necessary to get
