fred had avoided the courtroom. but in november 1995, the media circus swapped gloucester for winchester, where a jury would decide the fate of rose west. she wasn‘t a particularly emotional character, she was quite a dumpy, frumpy sort of looking woman with a very sort of sensible haircut and these unfashionable glasses. if you saw her in the street, you wouldn‘t imagine for a moment that she was capable of some of the crimes. she looked like she‘d be down at the bingo or somewhere. a recording of one of the police interviews with fred west was played to the court, the defence team hoping that hearing him describe the murder of his daughter heather would convince the jury that he was the only guilty party. he just came out in this real country accent. he was just so matter of fact when he was describing, you know, killing her and burying her under the windy house in his back garden. he could‘ve been sort of describing how he built a garden shed or whatever. it was amazing. from the evidence, mr leveson told

fred: yeah. i have a question from a reader, feel thatr, would you from fits the of eric terrie aun mold? have a 2020, iou mean come on the campaign, not the result, necessarily, will include a discussion of these issues. do you see anybody on the who is willing to lead in defense of liberal values? ms. sherman: i think there are a number of candidates running that will defend democracy in a number of ways that malcolm just laid out and that got applause from this audience. , think that madeleine albright who is a dear friend, a business partner, and my former boss, wrote a book called "fascism: a warning." she said repeatedly although she does not consider donald trump a fascist, he is the least democratic president we have ever had, and i certainly endorsed that position. one of the things we need to understand, although i agree with what my colleagues have said here today, is that people in our country, because technology has moved so fast and because there is so much social change, one of the

fred w was asleep. it appeared he had been druguggd by own meaeal or some other age, and he was murdered in his b be. ovover the yeaears, we uoverered documents thth showed ththis flr plan that was all covered up as well. it s showed the fbi took credit for this raid as part of its go until program and showed even , after ththe raid, was given by hoovever and the people in chicago, a a $300 bon. what we later cacalled the 30 piececes of silver for the informant own neil for setting up the raid. he wasas receiving from hooverea bonus for the success of the raid at the same time he was serving as a pallbearer and fred hampton's funeral. amy: you pursue this case civilly for 13 years. what came out of it? >> a lot of what i've j just mentioned cacame out o of it. the narrative shifted over the years thanks to the community, thanks to the panthers, and thanks to the lawsuit that we filed. ,s you could hear from the clip the position that the police took -- and they thought they were going to get away with s

fred? >> natasha chen, thanks so much. >>> meanwhile, president donald trump says if mexico does not stop all illegal immigration, he could close the border or large sections of it next week, and warns key keep it closed for a long time. >> mexico could stop it, right at their southern border, it is very easy for them to stop people from coming up and they don't choose to do it. well, we're not going to give them hundreds of billions of dollars and tell them that they're not going to use their strong immigration laws to help the united states. so there is a very good likelihood that i will be closing the border next week. and that will be just fine with me. >> let's go to white house reporter sara westwood in west palm beach, florida, where the president is spending the weekend. what more you can tell us about this threat and if the president is serious about, you know, following that up? >> reporter: well, fred, president trump has long demanded more cooperation with mexico when it comes t

fred: the senator was right. there is, we know this, more tribalism and the farmers feel like donald trump is doing the good fight, although they are hurting. i heard from a roundtable of about six farmers, some have had to sell off land. some are farming on leased land, so clear pain. but clear patience. that surprised me somewhat, but i think that they feel like donald trump is a business guy who is fighting for the good of business people, therefore they are giving him a lot more slack. president obama was doing this. david: farmers were hurting before these tariffs were imposed. if in fact they do come up with a deal, president trump comes up with a deal and we have soybean purchases, will it turn around quickly? fred: the companies that have really been hurting doing business in china ahve to do with -- have the do with technology or intellectual property, nothing to do with farmers. in a way they have been a upon -- a pawn. they had no problems with china, yet they are bearing the brunt of the trade war. da

so think about this, fred, for one moment. attacking the electrical grid of new york city, an entire city in darkness, attacking a water system, the clean water supply to los angeles. those things have a greater measured impact and affect our national security much more so than a typical cyber attack. >> what, if anything, can be done to prevent a real potential disaster? >> listen, they're looking at critical infrastructure as a path to least resistance to cause the greatest harm to our communities here. again, looking at the reporting coming out of north korea, they're trying to attack our systems. we need to take a new approach, a new risk management approach the exact same way that we had a systematic approach to deal with traditional cyber security. we need to do the exact same when we're talking about critical infrastructure. this is identification of threats. this is understanding the vulnerabilities surrounding our critical infrastructure, and then having a measured approach for mitigation and monitoring to again preve

fred? >> all right. and when you scan the audience there, is there any common thread, can you tell me about the people there, mostly from brooklyn area, did people come from all over or what? >> reporter: that's right, fred. we spoke to quite a few people as they were streaming in here. this is indicative of a bernie sanders crowd. there are a lot of young people here, obviously has a lot of support with young people. we are seeing some diversity, african-american supporters and women. brooklyn is a hot bed for bernie sanders support. there's a lot of people that come from the progressive wing of the democratic party, they're passionate about support for bernie sanders. what's interesting is i custody quite a few of them, there are a lot of other candidates in the race that are espousing many of the same beliefs bernie sanders is. they're talking about free college tuition, talking about medicare for all. what makes bernie different. the answer is he was the first, their leader, he got the democratic par

fred? >> and manu, we know that apparently coming out of the mueller report, there will be no further indictments, and now, house speaker nancy pelosi has sent a letter to house democrats, ahead of this caucus-wide, you know, phone conference later on. just about an hour away. and what is she saying? what is she wanting to make clear? >> well, she wants to get her caucus all on the same page. there's a lot of anxiety among democrats now that this investigation is over. democrats want to know what the next steps are for their new majority, how they plan to pursue, it and essentially try to keep everybody on the same page. well, nancy pelosi said in this letter today, that she expects, she was demanding the full report, to be released to the public, as well as to provide the underlying evidence that underpins the decisions by bob mueller to prosecute. and not to prosecute, to be given to capitol hill, and she said this in the letter, even if d.o.j. chooses not to prosecute additional individu

i would literally bring fred in. fred would tell you what is really going on. fred makes the point, we know more than anyone but i want to make it very clear the u.s. is strong that amazon is nothing amazon is less than 2% but what really does matter here is they have spent a fortune and they got to keep spending. they have negative cash flow, still -- a moment where -- i don't know if people recognize the name md-10 that's mcdonnell douglas i remember that stock, md, how great that was in the takeover bid. you have 40-year-old planes. fred has to keep spending and spending and spending. he is truly spending to win in a market that doesn't even want to hear the word investment >> cowan today, reiterating outperform i think target is 270. but they say this is a lost year so if you own it, do you need a year's worth of patience at least? >> got a trade deal, you get 15%. there is a new insight i have on the trade deal somewhat negative, which is that there are -- there is a big camp in the white house which says let's do a trade deal, but let's keep the tariffs o

moving from africa joins me now hi fred what is behind this latest spanish christina what i can say. this conflict sort of conflict between one and uganda did not just start yesterday it's a problem that has been there for quite some time but there it is i can say that like two years ago uganda started by arresting some rwandans in fact saying that some of our spies run spies coming to uganda to spy on uganda and to disturb rise the country and when seventy started to crack down on some runs he was saying that we need to organize our security apologises so that's where the problem started are now it's getting bigger and bigger each day and fred as you sit there this troubled relationship stretches back decades and there have been incidents in the past but i guess what we would want to know is how serious the current tensions. i mean this is for us as random people who were clear what is happening it's a conflict between two people i mean president museveni of uganda and president kagame a of rwanda one clearly says all things that you know i groom to you i raised you i trained you as

>> i think that has to happen, fred. i think if it happened, again, like i said initially, this would not have spiraled to 16 counts. i think the fact that he went on tv and said i feel betrayed by the system and all this -- >> that's right. >> he antagonized the government and the chicago police. >> and he hurt a lot of innocent people too. >> police resources. >> the grand jury voted this in so it's a legitimate indictment. these are felony counts, fred, 16 of them. ultimately he's going to end up pleading to one felony count. he's going to get probation here but he'll have a criminal history. and also -- >> so what? he's in hollywood. it doesn't matter. >> i'm trying to talk. >> what else is looming, fred, is a week before this took place, he says he received a letter on the set of "empire" which contained white powder, which also was a hoax. it's being evaluated by the fbi crime lab right now, but if he's the one who sent that letter, fred, he could be facing federal charges now. >> it's not going to happen. >> this

the president is still going right now, fred. no telling what he is going to say. but one thing he did say, is that he wishes this speech would be happening a year from now, in the middle of the 2020 campaign. and clearly, the president, ready for that competition against a democrat, fred. >> boris sanchez, thank you so much. appreciate it. at the white house. >>> joining me right now, a national political reporter for "the new york times," goods to see you, lisa. so you know, your thoughts about the president, you know, turning very serious matters into a joking matter, and also talking about how he just doesn't offer much credence to what's going on. >> this is a speech the president loves giving. he speaks nearly every year at cpac, he has been doing it since 2010, or 2011, so quite a while now. and the reason he likes giving it is because this is really his base. he is speaking to an extremely supportive crowd here. he's really rallying the troops around him. after what is, has been a really terrible week for him. he came home empty handed from vietnam. he watc

fred? >> manu raju, keep us posted. thank you so much. >>> while we brace for the russia report, the president has been quiet on social media as he has spent the last two days golfing in his club in california. he se -- in florida. he tweeted, good morning, have a great day. how optimistic. cnn's white house correspondent bo rir ork boris sanchez joining us from west palm beach in mar-a-lago. the white house has not been briefed on this mueller report, but sources say the president is happy with this investigation, that it's over now, at least. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, fred. according to a senior official, neither the president or anyone in the white house has been briefed on the contents of the mueller report at this point. they don't have a copy of it, either. from what we understand, sources close to the president and aides of mar-a-lago say that he's in a good mood. for the second time this weekend, he was spotted heading to the trump national golf course here in palm beach. yes

fred? >> paula newton, thank you so much. extraordinary conditions right there. with me is charles shapiro, the u.s. ambassador to venezuela under president george w. bush. people are exhausted. you know, they are exasperated. there's not food, et cetera. how bad is it? how does that trickle into maduro's military family? >> that's the key question. it's dire. it's getting worse. oil production is falling rapidly. the money coming into the government is decreasing rapidly. more countries recognize guaido as interim president man maduro. >> maduro is feeling threatened then. when he says to the u.s., your imperial aggression will lead to his strong response, what is he saying? >> that's what he's got to say to his own supporters. there's little he can do. he's got to hold on. he's got nowhere to go. he's got to keep the military behind him and the pressure is increasing. >> he doesn't feel he has the upper hand? >> i don't think so. >> he's behind the power outages, likely? right? >> i don't

fred. >> oh gosh. so the outgoing mayor, rahm emanuel, he was furious. he sent a bill in the amount of $130,000 so smollett for the cost of the investigation, but you mentioned there was, i guess, a deal made. you pay that $10,000 back, but did they miss their opportunity to try to get him to pay $130,000 as well on condition? as a condition? >> smollett's lawyers are saying he paid all he needs to pay and, in fact, the only thing that is owed now is an apology to jussie smollett from rahm emanuel and the superintendent of the police. yeah, $130,000, he's supposed to pay that by thursday. now, the question is will they see any of that money? probably not because he wasn't actually convicted of anything. so it's then difficult to ask him for money for a crime that he wasn't actually convicted of. so legal opinion -- >> that would be an admission, wouldn't it? >> yeah. rahm emanuel wants jussie smollett -- he said kind of jokingly, i want him to write, i am accountable in the memo section. unlikely they will get that money, but they're asking for it. >> ri

that's bad for this guy, fred. i don't care how you color this, that is witness intimidation. >> it is hard for people not to see that as witness intimidation or a threat, right, avery? >> that's right. and let me, there's another part of this, of course, he apologized afterwards, whether or not he was sincere, let me tell you something, that may or may not be a mitigator, that doesn't neutralize the crime, or the unethical behavior, but when the spokesperson comes out and says it is frivolous, it basically trivializes the behavior. so where he gets off saying, well, this is witness testing, there's no such thing, it doesn't work, either it's tampering or intimidation. >>s that for cross-examination. >> the bar association will refer, i think, to law enforcement. >> or maybe, too, that's kind of the hope, or that's his hope that people will turn around and think it is not a big deal if you tell people it is frivolous. >> i don't think so. >> avery, thank you very much, and richard, as well. enjoy mardi gras. >> zul

>> again, fred, it's early. the popularity of joe biden and bernie sanders, i think, is largely a function of very high name identification. they're fully known. i still think one of these candidates of the younger, newer generation, a fresher face, i believe somebody is going to break through. it seems to me the progressive wing of the democratic party wants a new face. i think someone l o'rourke, may cory booker, but somebody i think is going to emerge. i would not be overly confident if i was the vice president with those numbers. it just seems to me he has one way to go and that's down. i just think you have to watch this carefully. it's early. somebody is going to break through that pack and establish their own link. >> doug, the caucus and the primaries, they're really just a few months away, the beginning of the year. it really is not too early for a lot of these candidates to be introducing themselves to the electorate. but when you do hear many of these democratic candidates say they're avoiding the nam

fred? >> thank you so much, will. president trump was asked about the u.s. relationship with north korea. this is what he had to say. >> well, time will tell but i have a feeling that our relationship with north korea, kim jong-un and myself, chairman kim, i think it's a very good one, i think it remains good. i would be surprised in a negative way if he did anything not per our understanding, but we'll see what happens. look, when i came in under the obama administration, north korea was a disaster. you were going to war, folks, whether you know it or not, you were going to war. there was no talking, there was testing. >> that was the president yesterday there at the white house. with me now, stacy plas, a delegate from virgin islands and member of the house oversite committee. thanks so much for joining me. >> thanks for having me. >> let me start getting reaction to the latest developments indicating there might be some sort of preparation for a launch or satellite implementation if north koreans are a.mping up missile testing, what does it say about effo

father fred gucor.. visited with their parents on monday.father fred gucor/pastor, st. joseph church: "i did visit with susan and ike this morning, together with some other priests, and their faith is really strong, really strong. of course, you can imagine how they feel as parents as well." the brothers were on an adventure before mel's daughter would be born to his wife britney.she's due in may. they went to shasta high, where bennett -- in the brown shirt here -- was in the madrigal dinner.music teacher gavin spencer told me he did a very convincing job.gavin spencer/music teacher: "he was a knight in madrigal dinner his senior year, and people were scared to death of him because he was a big guy, he had long dark hair and he did not smile, he had the perfect stone cold knight face. kids were very intimated by him, but he was one of the nicer kids."bennett and mel's mother susan is the parish secretary. the parish -- trying to help them with spiritual and temporal needs.no font provided: "we're going to be setting up an entree express account because that seems to be

no one more disappointed about it than fred and fred -- they want to build out, they want to dominate, this is a cost of domination >> if, i mean, amazon has been great for fedex up to this point. is it possible it starts becoming a really key competitor to fedex or is that a i was owaf >> no. i think they made that point why do they keep bringing it up? you made it clear, very, very small part and they can't dominate look, what fred has done is stretched the whole canvas he's done so much new business he has to keep putting in more money. but the fact is they have md, mcdonald douglas plants. mcdonald douglas planes, how did that happen? we have a real issue, which is that they had a cost structure to keep changing they decided to try to block everybody else from europe, trying to block everybody else from asia. and when you're blocking them in -- and everything turns down, because of governance, there is no way fred can see that i thought fred said that he understood they need tariffs not in favor, but understands we need them. that i thought was a little incremental change for him

second, fred, we have the issue of an ongoing investigation. special counsel mueller was looking at interference in the 2016 election. that was his mandate. we know that russia is still attacking our country. it is very possible that foreigners, for example, that are named in the special counsel report and any underlying documents that haven't been charged as part of the special counsel investigation may still be targets of an ongoing counter intelligence investigation. if we were to release their names that could really hinder those ongoing investigative efforts. >> right. separate from the mueller intelligence reporting. so jonathan, if some of these materials are held back from public release, is that something that could still be seen by the judiciary committee or the so-called gang of 8 senators? >> listen, yes, it is, but i think it's really important to understand how unique this reporting is by mueller. it's what i refer to as a convergence of the three cs -- criminal, counter intelligence, and congress. information that's contained in

walid phares, and fred fleitz. would you call this an act of war? >> absolutely, it is undermining u.s. national security, it is stealing, a technological edge that u.s. taxpayer spent billions of dollars to development and making us much more vulnerable to china, and raises real questions about the trade talk with china. this is an act of war. how can we trust china in the trade talks with such a massive attack on our military secrets. >> waleed, i would advise everyone reading this to -- watching this on read the "wall street journal" piece, it is well reported, well reserved. a naive officia navy official ca deadly viewer us what is hopping happening, he is saying if we don't do anything we could die. >> that is pretty plain, the bigger question. other question, what is china doing? why is china conducting those attacks specifically in terms of espionage. but targeting electronically our navy. because china's expansion fear is only in the pacific, only force in the pacific blocking china from japan to south korea to taiwan to philippines is u.s.

here to talk about that christian with ten former senior advisor, fred white assistant to donald trump and davidson. the advisor to obama campaign, welcome to all of you. >> thank you, david what do you make of the white house's response and the way they are describing what happened saying the obama administration did not walk away from the iran deal, dis- rated and walked from abbott saying the president did knew enough to walk away something that would not be good for the u.s. >> david: that is a great talking point for sarah sanders and i give the president for having the courage to walk away. i think it was the right decision for him but we also have to recognize the summit was a failure. we accomplish nothing and unfortunately we gave kim jong un something, he got to sit next to the president, he got a photo all up with the president and further legitimizes and normalizes kim jong un to be there with the president. other countries look at that and they were his symbolism they are. instead of us getting some kind of concession from him, we got nothing. i also disagree with the pres

fred? >> a lot of people who described his behavior and seeing it on videotape, et cetera, that he's a rear touchy-feely guy and there's a question whether that -- that kind of behavior will be made into an issue if he indeed gets into the race. how is his camp preparing for that? >> it's interesting you bring this up because this has been sort of a known thing about joe biden over the years. it's been a quality that people discussed about him that he's very touchy-feely. that he's very intimate with women when he's in public and now we're seeing that in a different context, so i think his team is having to adjust and having to adapt to the that new political landscape where in the aftermath of the me, too environment these things are taken much more seriously. that's no longer a feud as something endoering, butting is as predatory or defensive. >> this is something he needs to adopt to and he as a candidate will have to express sentiment to these issues. >>> police have made an arrest in t

tom hanks is donning fred rogers' iconic sweaters to play the beloved us children's tv host in a beautiful day in the neighbourhood, directed by marielle heller. he's already won two oscars for philadelphia and forrest gump, but thisjust feels like a perfect fit. so for best picture 2020, i think we're definitely going to be looking at quentin tarantino for once upon a time in hollywood. it stars margot robbie, it stars brad pitt and leonardo dicaprio, and leo and brad star as a western actor who's sort of dried up, and his stunt double. and they're trying to figure out how to continue making a name for themselves in hollywood. the really amazing thing about this film is that it's set in 1969 and it sort of follows the same timeline as the charles manson murders, so it should be really interesting, because we know tarantino loves to twist stuff up. well, that brings a special 0scars review edition of talking movies to a close.

i don't think anyone expects amazon to hurt your business there's so much business going around fred, it's the most defensive part of the call i don't know why you do it. >> part of the reason is because on the 16th of february this network had a program basically whose headline said amazon is coming into the transportation business and it's going to hurt fedex and u.p.s. and it was quite a provocative piece. we were the only people that agreed to be interviewed on the show u.p.s. didn't. the postal service didn't and amazon agreed to and then they backed off when they found out we were going to appear on the show so we certainly don't mean to be defensive but we do think we need to answer provocative questions when they are raised including those brought up by cnbc on that program. >> well, fair enough but you know that i've been standing by the idea that they need you more than you need them if you want that and you know that's been the case from the beginning. what i am concerned about, though, is the idea that let's say the president this, is what my intel is saying, the president

fred? >> and now give us some context about why the president felt the need to go after john mccain on twitter today? >> john mccain was one of the first people to see the steele dossier, some of that salacious information that was collected during the 2016 campaign. mccain denied he ever shared that with journalists, but we know that at least one of his aids did. and some see that as a stain on mccain's legacy, including former investigator kenneth starr. >> he said that he didn't have anything to do with passing on the dossier to the fbi. and yet now we know he did. >> deeply disappointing. well, we'll see. that's what the evidence shows. you know, i'm one who keeps saying don't rush to judgment, but that's what the evidence tends to show. i'm very, very saddened by this. but john mccain was an american hero who did so much for the country, but this is unfortunately a very dark stain. >> the president apparently watched this interview and decided to further express his disdain for the lat

>> reporter: well, fred, this is going to be a major impact if the border closes here. we have been watching people living on the u.s. side going toward mexico today. they just go about their daily business, they runn errands, go to the dentist, see family. a lot of people cross to work and maybe live on the other side. this is going to be a big impact on daily lives. of course, the commercial cargo traffic goes through a different port about two miles from us. you've seen president trump's words there in his speech as well as on twitter talking about how mexico needs to stop the illegal immigration from their side because of the massive influx of people. right now, ports are still open. senior homeland security official says while the border closure is on the table, what they're doing now is moving some resources from ports of entry like this to help with the influx of people coming between ports of entry illegally. i want to read a statement secretary nielson put out. she said make no mistake, americans may feel effects from the emergency as personnel of relocated to
