it was mr trump's denials that made them come forward. there is a gentleman at the window, introduced himself as donald trump. jessica leeds says she was assaulted on a plane in the late 70s. suddenly this man started groping me. he was all over me and he was kissing me and he was. . . not a word was said from him. we're just having this tussle. in the seat. and it's like his... like his hands are every where like an octopus. but it is when he started putting his hand up my skirt... that i... got the... strength... the adrenaline to... manage to wiggle out. sounds like an assault. it was. it was an assault. absolutely. i mean, at one point i did feel pinned to my seat. it was a very physical attack. donald trump accused jessica leeds of lying. oh, i was with donald trump in 1980. i was sitting with him on a plane. and he went after me on the plane. yeah, i'm going to go after... believe me, she would not be my first choice that i can tell you! man! donald trump says you're a liar. what did you think of that? well... you know he... of cour

trump. did you ever see mr. trump be loyal to him? >> ultimately i felt he hasn't. i sympathize with michael. i understand the way michael feels. i have felt like that. with that said, chuck, with somebody like me who has defended michael publicly, when he takes lanny davis out of the clinton crypt and decides to start talking about watergate releasing these tapes, it's a bridge too far. >> are you saying you no longer count yourself as a friend of michael cohen? you did just a couple of days ago? >> no, he is a friend of mine. i like him personally. once again, i feel bad for what his family is going through. but vis-a-vis his professional relationship with the president, it's highly unethical, if not -- if not getting disbarred for what he did. >> who's telling the truth? >> in terms of? >> who's telling the truth here? whose word should we take here, michael cohen intimating what the president knew about these various payments or the president's word that he knew very little about it all? >> but there was no payment. but let's say we hear this conversation, but u

mr. trump has also denied his affair with daniels. dave davis said the recordings are false. >> this is not a man shocked about karen mcdougal. they know what they're talking about. >> reporter: american media's payment effectively silenced mcdougal throughout the 2016 campaign. now, cohen's lawyer did not have an explanation for why this recording was made or why it cuts off abruptly. >> all right, major. thank you so much. the recording raises serious questions about possible violations of campaign finance law. we've heard that prosecutors have 12 tapes. this is just part of one of those tapes. from what we've heard, was a possible crime committed? >> possible, but not in and of itself. it is not illegal to pay someone with a nondisclosure agreement. that happens all the time in order to keep people from giving up information that might embarrass someone. >> but that's not what happened. what happened is this was a catch-and-kill story by american media and david pecker, and this tape might suggest that then the president, now presi

we know mr. trump is dealing with the u.s. allies and this president on issues such as nato and defense and international m internationalism. his outlook is a lot more inward looking than recent presidents. officials in the you can fear is that we have, he is in the process of battling some of those alliances. i think during this trip, we didn't see them materialize quite as mush as they would like. they were seeing teresa may said she didn't do that, at the end of the summit, they were embarrassingly warm there. previously, that makes her in the press conference yesterday, we saw her criticizing teresa may. i think what she wants to do, this is the neutral benefit in social security and the economy and trade and business of that special relationship. and also build a personal relationship with president trump him because i think a lot of his policy towards others seems to be taken how he goes through them personally. i think watching that and some of the comments he made about her. i do get the sense that personal relationshi

trump knew of the trump tower meeting ahead of time, do you believe mr. cohen or mr. trump? >> under normal circumstances if you told me that the trump organization even though it was the campaign here was going to host someone connected with the algarov, i would say likely the president now president then mr. trump would have been made aware. with that said, it is important here that michael also says he doesn't have a tape of this conversation according to the cnn reporting. so, it seems a little that we're not going to know. it is one word against another word here. >> but you know both people. >> right. >> you're familiar with the dynamics of the two men. what is your take? what is your guess? >> my best guess is that the president certainly was made aware after the fact that this meeting was a complete bust and it was because if you look the lawyer natalia, the russian lawyer who previously not allowed into the country by a cnn contributor, representing somebody connected to the maninski and representing an issue of the person who putin spoken about in directing with bi

officer to manipulate mr. trump. mr. trump's foibles and ability to be manipulated are prettyl clear for to see. in fact, i think that's why most people, probably in his administration, didn't want him to go to helsinki for this meeting. he's the leader o the largest, most powerful country in the history of the world, and he's allowing vladimir putin, who has been sticking his finger in the eye of the unitestates and allies for a long time, to be seen on an equal stage as a great power with the united states. that's troubling. he probably shouldn't have done that. but then to make the statements made following that, actually turning against his own enministration and his own intell community, i think it was a very sad day for us, frankly. >> woodruff: we heard vladimir putin remarkably at one point ligenceed, i was an intel agent once myself. what did you think he had this suggestion that russia could -- that he would let u.s. official come to russia, interview russian intelligence officials and then an about-turn, russi

mr. trump and mrs. trump capped off their visit on friday by meeting with queen elizabeth. the queen has met with every u.s. president since 1952 with the exception of president johnson. after hand shakes and a bit of small talk, the president and queen inspected the front rank of the guard of honor, they also went inside the castle for tea. earlier president trump met with the prime minister of the nation theresa may, that was after again that explosive interview in the british tabloid "the sun" which mr. trump slammed the prime minister's negotiation of brexit. during a joint news conference though, mr. trump did something he rarely does, let's take a look. >> i said very good things about her. i didn't think they put it in, but that is all right. they didn't put it in the headline, i wish they put it in the headline. and she's a total professional because when i saw her, i said i want to apologize because i said such good things about you. she said don't worry, it is only the press. i thought that was very professional. i might add though -- that is called -- don't worry

well mr trump says ties with the u.k. are at the quotes highest level of special just a day after he stirred up controversy in an interview with the sun newspaper in the u.k. in it he suggested plans for bricks that were too soft and if they stand the u.k. should not expect a trade deal with the united states but fast forward twenty four hours mr trump dismissed the report as fake news his description for a taped interview he had just given a whole has more now from winsor. a day that ended for donald trump in the company of queen elizabeth the second had begun under a cloud of official british dismay at the u.s. president's comments in a newspaper interview for two countries that supposedly enjoy a special relationship this was no way to treat a friend donald trump a told the rightwing sun newspaper that the reason may's plan for leaving the european union was a bad one and that a trade deal between the u.s. and the u.k. was off the table he also said to reason may's nemesis boris johnson would make a great prime ministe

trump was preparing to meet vladimir putin monday. >> we met with mr. trump about the allegations this week. the president was fully aware of the department's actions today. >> reporter: the charges say in late july, the russians tried for the first time to hack into servers in clinton's personal campaign office, the same day president trump said this. >> russia, if you're listening, i hope you're able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. >> reporter: prosecutors say the russians set up dcleaks.org to host false material. the russians don't name wikileaks but say it was another way the russians used. the democratic national committee was begin, they said if you have anything hillary related, we want it in the next two days. the russians created a fake persona and wrote to a trump campaign person did you find anything interesting in the docs i posted? while that person isn't named in the indictment, it was roger stone a campaign advisor. his lawyer says stone had no involvement in the hacking and prosecutors also say a congressional candidate ask

trump asa stories and merging about mr trump as a candidate ahead of that vote. that the case, then it could potentially mean they breached campaign—finance laws and meanwhile we have this investigation taking place into michael cohen it is important to emphasise who michael cohen was. yes, he was donald trump's personal lawyer but he was much more than that. he was the mr fix-it. much more than that. he was the mr fix—it. he made donald trump's towels go away. he took pride in that and he knew intimately about mr trumps business. we have these questions about what happened to him and the fbi raided his office as a result of a referral from robert miller. it's a separate investigation by going through all his business dealings and it seems this recording was one ofjust a number of things that were seized from his office at the time. and it does seem to have some concern for president trump and some anger that first of found this recording and secondly that they are continuing to investigate exactly what dealings mr cohen was involved in. and for his pa rt coh

partners in europe have reportedly taken offense the tone of the letters mr trump spoke to the media before departing for europe. well it is interesting time is certainly going to see. fairly soon as they work something out very far too much and they say far too little but we'll work it out. the be happy. will see on the happiness part the president's travel include two days in brussels then to london for a meeting with embattled british prime minister theresa may mr trump triple and with a meeting with russian president vladimir putin in helsinki finland on monday and will have more on this in the coming days. the washington post has reported that private equity firm warburg pincus has entered the business of mailing checks to desperately poor people then hitting them with interest rates equal to or higher than those of payday lenders the story raised some eyebrows here in washington because former obama treasury secretary timothy geitner who i know from experience was not the foremost champion of holding wall street accountable for the two thousand and eight debacle is now presiden

mr trump said he believes british people "like him a lot." at least 200 people are now reported to have been killed in the worst flooding to affect japan in nearly a0 years. torrential rains have triggered landslides and floods in central and western areas with more than eight million people ordered to leave their homes. charges against us adult film star stormy daniels have been dropped after she was arrested in a strip club. she was detained for allegedly touching a patron. ms daniels is involved in a court battle with donald trump over an alleged sexual encounter, which he denies. now on bbc news, hardtalk.

officer to manipulate mr. trump. mr. trump's foibles and ability to be manipulated a prett clear for all to see. in fact, i think that's why most people, probably in his own administration, didn't want him to go torelsinki this meeting. y 's the leader of the largest, most powerful coun the history of the world, and he's allowing vlamir putin, who has been sticking his finger in the eye of the united states and allies for a long time, to be seen o an equal stage as a great power with the united states. that's troubling. he probably shouldn't have done that. but then to make the statements allyade following that, actu turning against his own administration and his own intelligence community, i think it was a very sad day for us, frankly. >> woodruff: we hear vladimir putin remarkably at one point out tuned, i was an intelligence agent once myself. wh did you think he had this suggestion that russia could -- thci he would let u.s. offs come to russia, interview russian intelligence officials and then an abou-turn, russian

the express does the same, while carrying a big picture of mr trump holding mrs may's hand. the i looks at the huge crowds that came out to protest against the visit. and the telegraph carries an interview with one of mr trump's former advisors who says that, perhaps unsurprisingly, mr trump told mrs may to be "tough," in her negotiations with the eu so some different takes on the presidential visit on the front pages. let's take a look at some of them in more detail. we will begin with a did he or didn't he question. the guardian, i didn't he question. the guardian, i didn't criticise the prime minister, thatis didn't criticise the prime minister, that is fake news, says trump. welcome anybody who read the interview in the sun, that exclusive which seemed to have taken members of the government by surprise, might have read some criticism in it. of the government by surprise, might have read some criticism in itm was hard not to see criticism. i don't know how the president defines that term. to suggest the prime minister is a wrecking brexit is certainly a comment on what h

he has more on mr. trump's twitter tirade. that's hard to say. >> reporter: cnn has reached out to the white house to get clarity on specifically what president trump was referencing when he mentioned business conflicts with the special counsel robert mueller. we have yet to hear back. but previous reporting may indicate what the president was talking about here. earlier this year the "washington post" and the "new york times" separately reported that the president had privately expressed frustration with what he sees as conflicts of interest with robert mueller rooted in what he believes are unpaid dues that robert mueller owed his golf club in virginia. a spokesperson for the special counsel at the time responded to the "washington post" saying that those claims being made by president trump were inaccurate. of course the broader context here is that reporting came out when "the new york times" published that four sources had told them that president trump tried to fire robert mueller last year and that in that process he ex

so we'll wait and see if mr. trump reveals anything elsmore from his side. let's talk more about the conversation between sergey lavrov and mike pompeo. do we know anything more about what they're looking for and whether they talked about a potentially -- potential follow-up meeting between mr. putin and mr. trump in washington? >> reporter: that telephone conversation between the u.s. secretary of state and the russian foreign minister taking place last night here local time. we understand it was initiated by the u.s. side. they called the russians, in other words. and unusually there's been, as far as i'm aware, no redoubt from the state department on what was discussed but the russian foreign ministry has spoken with it. they said that they're talking about improving bilateral relations. but the key issue that was discussed was this issue of mariia butina who's a young russian woman who was arrested in the united states the day after the helsinki summit on allegations of acting as an agent of russia. basically she's been accuse dollars of being a spy alth

and that prompted the turs all caps threat from mr. trump. what do you make of it? >> there's three things in play here. all important. the first is that the trump administration is pursuing a policy of regime change in iran, which is markedly different, of course, from the approach of the obama administration. secondly, the iranian leadership, not only the president but the supreme leader, have stepped up their rhetoric in the past few weeks. notably by warning that they will hinder the oil sales of other countries if iran's own oil exports are reduced by american sanctions. and then thirdly, donald trump has been known to use a dramatic tweet like this as a distraction when he's under pressure. for example, under the russia investigation and his meeting with vladimir putin. and there's nothing more distracting than threatening a war. >> right. this seems to be they're pointing -- you gave three options there. to the unraveling of the iran nuclear deal. because it's still very much up in the air as far as the future. >> no, the iran nuclear deal's dead. at least fr

with mr. trump years earlier. >> just before the election, the trump campaign denied any knowledge of a planned payoff to karen mcdougal, but the 2016 recording seems to confirm mr. trump knew at the time about the proposal. listen now as cohen tells trump about his plans to set up a company to purchase the story rights from american media run by trump ally david pecker. >> i need to open up a company for the transfer of all of that info regarding our friend, david, you know, so that i'm going to do that right away. i've actually come up -- >> give it to me -- >> and i've spoken to allen wieselberg about how to set the whole thing up with -- >> so, what are we going to -- >> -- funding -- yes. and it's all the stuff -- >> thinking about it -- >> all the stuff, because you never know what that company, where he's going to be -- >> who gets it -- >> correct. so, i'm all over that. and i spoke to allen about it. when it comes time for the financing, which will be -- >> listen, what financing? >>

it was not sent to then mr. trump's executive assistant, rona graff. so if you had to ask me specifically, and in light of learning that, one, michael was taping the president, two, he doesn't have a tape of this, i would believe the president. >> you say you're shocked that michael cohen staping. michael cohen had this reputation among every single trump person i've ever dealt with, oh, yeah, michael cohen, he tapes everybody. >> correct. i thought he was taping all phone conversations. you know, for ie, if he had an iphone and it just taped all conversations, he taped , everythiu know, plays them back to the president, that would be something. but to tap people when you're sitting in the office with them? that was highly suspect. i never thought that. never thought that if i was sitting across from him in his fice i was being aped. >> why do you think the president -- some of this decision potentially by michael cohen may have to do with one of two things. number one, no one seems to be wanting h pay legal bills and that is bothering >> why do you th

but mr trump has no formal events tomorrow. it is a chance for him to regroup after nato and his visit to see theresa may and prepare for what is arguably the biggest moment of the strip, which is seeing vladimir putin in helsinki on monday. but who could resist a round of golf at turnberry? what a mighty fine golf course that is. thank you very much. my my good friend, ron christie, republican strategists has been at windsor throughout the day. it has been the highest level of special. let's talk about this front page, the sun newspaper. in the words of the sun newspaper. in the words of the president, this was generally fine. this is a new definition of a generally fine. if that's the new definition of generally fine, christian, we are in a world of hurt. the president of the united states sent us a message last night. there were such beautiful optics with him in the palace and with the prime minister, and what ends up happening is the headline that you just held up. so it is very interesting to see what the headline will loo

earlier, mr trump had said that was an interesting idea. in an interview with the american network, cnbc, mr trump rejected the idea that he has failed to stand up to president putin. look at the sanctions i've put on, look at the diplomats i threw out, look at all of the things that i've done. nobody else has done what i've done. 0bama didn't do it. 0bama was a total patsy for russia. look at the statement he made, when he thought the mics were turned were turned off, 0k? the stupid statement, nobody cares about that. getting along with president putin, along with russia is a positive, not a negative. now with that being said, if that doesn't work out, i'll be the worst enemy he's ever had! 0ur correspondent in washington, chris buckler, says the invitation came quickly. it does seem bizarre and quite remarkable to some of donald trump's political opponents and also some within his own republican party that he is rolling out the red carpet to vladimir putin so soon after that helsinki summit, that frankly had a fallout that was pretty diff

but frustration with mr trump is notjust limited to protesters. there's also irritation at government level after the president described the country as being in turmoil over brexit. this is going to be a challenging visit. our washington correspondent gary o'donoghue is covering president trump's visit and is at stansted airport. and gary, a potentially very challenging visit? yes, and a visit made more challenging i think by the comments in brussels before the president left, effectively wading into the whole brexit debate here. before he left the united states he talked about turmoil in the united kingdom, resignations, and now he's effectively aligning himself with the hard brexit camp. that is something theresa may could well have done without at this point in time. she wants to talk to him about trade deals, post brexit trade deals, getting a decent dealfor the uk with the us to try to bolster her position. so she won't take kindly to that. we are told the president will arrive here in short order. you can see behind me the two helicopters t

what might putin ask of mr. trump. >>> u.s. and korean military officials make plans to return the remains of casualties of the korean war. >>> violent protests erupt in chicago after another fatal police shooting. >>> a california firefighter is killed in a wildfire near yosemite national park. >>> tanduay after bastille day, france wins the world cup. >> hi, everyone, and welcome to "the overnight news." i'm demarco morgan. with tensions between the u.s. and russia at the highest levels since the cold war, presidents donald trump and vladimir putin are about to be face-to-face today in helsinki, finland. leaders have met before. leonid brezhnev in 1975, george bush and. norah o'donnell is leading our coverage of this historic summit. she joins us now from the finnish capital. >> good evening to you. president trump arrived here ahead of his russian counterpart who attended the final match of the work socno ces tperpowermit the wor wang. president trump will have breakfast with the president of finland at the presidential resi

leaders to follow its elise leads on this issue so clearly i think mr trump sees mr concert as an ideological ally within the european union as opposed to for instance german chancellor. we have seen time and again that the trouble ministrations seems to be interested in aligning with supporting some of the new right wing leaders in some european countries such as in hungary in poland the czech republic austria and italy that is maybe the difference of course mr trump often says one thing today and a completely different thing tomorrow but once again there is an ideological connection between the two here and both leaders similarly like minded when it comes to russia aren't they. absolutely mr khan to was the only other g seven leader who supported donald trump's idea to readmit russia to this loose club if you like at the recent g. seven summit in canada is the close connection between an italian conservative and the russian leader is not that you serve your bias kone a former italian prime minister was seen as a close personal friend of russian president vladimir putin he even invited putin

trump's former fixer -- >> i protect mr. trump. >> -- has cept signals in recent weeks he's willing to cooperate with the mueller russia investigation. according to giuliani the mcdougal tape is the only one of true substance. >> mr. president, did michael cohen betray you, sir. >> while the president's lawyers are saying there's really nothing to see here another source is saying this mcdougal related recording is not good for the president, and there are multiple parties interested in what could be on the tapes. one of them is michael avenatti, the lawyer for stormy daniels who is suing both cohen and trump. wolf? >> all right, athena, thank you very much. we're getting the first reaction from michael cohen's attorney to the breaking news. let's bring in our chief political analyst gloria borger who's been doing a lot of reporting on this. what are you hearing from cohen lawyer lanny davis? >> here's what he says in a statement to us, wolf, obviously there is an ongoing investigation and we are sensitive to that. but suffi

mr. trump will be joined by secretary of state mike pompeo, national security adviser john bolton, and chief of staff john kelly. in an interview on cbs this evening, mr. trump is downplaying the importance of the meeting between the two world leaders. >> nothing bad is going to come out of it. and maybe some good will come out. i go in with low expectations. i don't really -- i can't tell you what's going to happen. but i can tell you what i'll be asking for and we'll see if something comes of it. >> reporter: although the trump administration has not released an agenda, the president and russian leader are expected to talk about the situation in syria and the ukraine, and russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. special counsel robert mueller handed down an indictment for 12 russian military intelligence officers on friday. gutin denies he ordered the interference but national security adviser john bolton isn't so sure. >> i find it hard to believe, but that's what one of the

and here mr. trump is not surprised when mr. cohen mentions there needs to be financing, and he immediately say, "cash." he doesn't say what the transcript that you're telling me says. he says "cash," and my client has been discharged over and over again by mr. giuliani with misinformation and misstatements. for example, what we have heard over and over again is that mr. cohen is living lavishly, and no mention is made that there was a tremendous flood in his apartment. he's living in a hotel with insurance paying for his hotel room. 14 times on the dossier, his name is mentioned and publicly posted where absolute rebuttals, false that he was ever in prague. there's been a campaign out of the white house to discharge mr. cohen. and why is that? chris, because he's got truth on his side now, and he intends to tell the truth. >> all right. fine. all of that be that as it may, that is extraneous to what we're talking about with this tape and what is said on the tape and what is meant. giuliani argues -- and, again, i have to repres

have you talked about that specifically with mr trump?” russians. have you talked about that specifically with mr trump? i have talked him about to turn and russia and he has a lot of respect for putin, but at the same time he also realises the importance... what does he respect about him? does he respect the annexation of crimea or the repression of democracy and free speech in russia ? the repression of democracy and free speech in russia? what is it? is it the basic, ruthless, decisive nature of putin rule? some of these questions are best addressed either president. i am questions are best addressed either president. iam not questions are best addressed either president. i am not a fan of vladimir putin, i think he is a bag quy- vladimir putin, i think he is a bag guy. i do think the presidency that he represents an important nation on the world ‘s a stage. as he pointed out, the germans are opening up a natural gas pipeline that will give latitude and billions of dollars and a lot of leverage over europe, they complain about dona

trump and i will do anything to protect mr. trump, the family and now vice president-elect pence. >> of course, the difference now is he's facing the real possibility of an indictment and possibly being separated from his family. different message now. it is. >> i actually don't think the message is directed at the president. i think it is directed at everyone else in the universe. prosecutors and law enforcement and the public and everyone the press. what michael cohen is saying and it is a smart strategy. in reality, i am a family man and i respect this country and i

at most nato members for not spending enough on defense and then mr trump declaring the alliance back on track thanks to his guiding hand or trump launch more attacks on germany than any other european country claiming that

trump cannot deliver nearly what he may or may not have thought mr. trump was capable of delivering. apparently this wasn't lennon's term but the notion of useful idiot comes to mind where, in fact, mr. putin can on one hand gain the legitimacy that is -- that flows from a meeting with donald trump on the world stage, continue to attack america's political system and state and registration system in the run-up to our election and use mr. trump as cover in the process elevating his own role. i cannot imagine a sum that pmi produced less for the united states. you asked if it produced a resuming of arms control talks, dialogue. i think that would have been useful minus what you saw in helsinki, that 45-minute performance by mr. trump and the fact that the russians continue without american pushback to continue to try to interfere and manipulate our electorals. >> it's hard to figure out where this is going next. one of the things that clearly has happened is that, of course, europe -- european leaders reacted quite strongly after the press conference. t

for mr trump's part but with two hundred million in tariffs then the chinese responding this gets to be what everett dirksen the senator used to say gets to be real money our market participants really starting to feel this now and it's being reflected in stock prices. well i actually don't think there was any ever a time to not be concerned about terrorist because all along for the last few months the market has reacted very negatively whenever anything came out about more terrorists being put on it's this this tit for tat back and forth between china and and the u.s. and so i even though we rallied last week it was a holiday week and i really didn't expect it to continue so i wasn't surprised we were down really big last night in the post market after hours and then we got down this morning in the market and it took pretty much all day to fall but we did fall and i think tomorrow you could see more volatility i truly believe that july is going to be a very very volatile month in the market i said it for the last week we have the nato summit we have meeting with putin next week at t

trump, did that involvement trying to help mr. trump go to the extent of collusion. >> the investigation by your committee i take it will continue through the mid term elections? >> listen, i'm not putting a time line on this. i want to get it done as soon as possible. but what we owe the american pi people is the truth. we came out with one on election security. thank goodness congress responded, put money into the response so states could upgrade security. that took congress acting because there was no leadership from the white house. we came out with reconfirmation of the intelligence community assessment that i mentioned we came out with last week, the summary, saying that not only did russia intervene, but intervened with the goal of helping trump, hurting clinton. >> senator warner, thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you, wolf. >>> just ahead, will the last five trapped in the cave make it out alive? we're standing by for the rescue to resume with torrential rains in the forecast. >>> the trump administration staring do

have you talked about that specifically with mr trump? i have talked him about putin and russia and he has a lot of respect for putin, but at the same time he also realises the importance... what does he respect about putin? does he respect the annexation of crimea, the repression freee expression of democracy in russia? what is it? is it the basic, ruthless, decisive nature of putin rule? some of these questions are best addressed by the president. i am not a fan of vladimir putin, i think he is a bad guy. i do think the president sees he represents an important nation on the world's stage. as he pointed out, the germans are opening up a natural gas pipeline that will give putin and billions of dollars and a lot of leverage over europe, they complain about donald trump and what he is doing in europe and dividing the alliance and everything else, but meanwhile they are helping putin. so there is a certain two—facedness with what the germans are doing what they are saying. i am also struck by to a degree to which, from many outsiders, th
