"the new york times" writing, quote, mr. trump was livid when he learned that mr. kelly had described him as evolving in his immigration position, according to a person familiar with his thinking. throughout the evening on wednesday, mr. trump fielded calls from allies who described mr. kelly's comments to congress as undermining the president, stoking mr. trump's fury. the president fired back on twitter today, quote, the wall is the wall. it has never changed or evolved from the first day i conceived of it. parts will be, of necessity, see through, and it was never intended to be built in areas where there is natural protection such as mountains, waste lands or tough rivers or water. the wall will be paid for directly or indirectly or through longer-term reimbursement by mexico, which has a ridiculous $71 billion trade surplus with the u.s.. the $20 billion wall is peanuts compared to what mexico makes from the u.s. nafta is a bad joke. >>> axios, providing the day's kicker in a piece titled, quote, john kelly risks a steve bannon moment. writing, quote, kelly is

from germany, my chancellor, mrs merkel, has been clear invoicing the criticism of mr trump. i think, yes, it is important because, of course, it is important because, of course, it is important to keep iran in place and to have... see some limitations of its nuclear programme but i guess with regards to the relationship between europe and the us we will see if there will be improvement over the course of the year because they have been quite a number of areas where there has been strong disagreement. historically it has not been the case and not in the public domain that much. a story here about a fukushima water decision. a decision that is due sometime later this year. japanese regulator saying that water stored at the fukushima won plant can be dyed looted and released into the sea. it is faced with criticism by fishermen in the area who are saying they fear there could be some sort of impact on fish and environment even though the regulator is saying this is harmless once the water is dyed the looted —— diluted. the ta nks dyed the looted —— diluted. the tanks at

they will put the economy out there in a way that perhaps mr trump would not. so that was very much calculated. i think it will send a couple of different messages, and i think the nod to the dynasty, the kennedy dynasty, you might say that went rather look wrong with the clinton election —— went rather wrong with the clinton election, that dynasty did not go any further, but this one is remembered rather better than that one, so that might help them in the end. and very briefly, any surprise that there was just the one mention of russia, no mention of russia's attempts to subvert american democracy. no, i am not at all surprised. i think that was the elephant in the room, but i think that mr trump would have been advised and made the decision not to bring it up. this was a speech about mrtrump being a bring it up. this was a speech about mr trump being a winner, being a president, not somebody who was being investigated for any sort of collusion with russia. barbara, on capitol hill, thank you very much indeed. and, if you want more on president trump's st

some say it was the threat of similar protests that have spooked mr. trump. the mayor of london said there would be mass protests like these but peaceful ones. the foreign secretary boris johnson accused him of putting u.k.-u.s. relations at risk. a view that others echoed. >> in this country, we have the mayor of london, jeremy corbyn and others encouraging large-scale street protests against him. i think that must be part of his calculation. reporter: that is the point. in his first year of office, mr. trump has traveled the world, visiting most other g-7 countries and several european nations including france, germany, and belgium. the u.k. is notable for its absence. the u.s. ambassador has said that this fortress of glass represents a new era in friendship between the u.s. and the u.k.. a strengthening of that relationship. the fear from the diplomats is that the president's decision not to open the building signals that for him, britain is not a priority. ministers hope that will change when he comes, if he comes. >> it is an important diplomatic partne

the "times" reports mr. trump argued that mueller had conflicts of interest. among them: what the president said was a dispute over membership fees at the trump national golf course in northern virginia, where mueller had been a member. a mueller spokesman denies there was a dispute. soon afterward, the president changed both his legal team and his attitude toward mueller, denying ever considering firing him. >> i haven't given it any thought. i mean, i've been reading about it from you people. you say, "oh, i'm going to dismiss him." no, i'm not dismissing anybody. i mean, i want them to get on with the task. >> yang: today, democratic senator cory booker of new jersey told pbs member network njtv that he fears trump could still try to fire mueller. >> i have a lot of concerns but for the constraint of the law, this is a man that would be doing much more to suppress this democracy and assert authoritarian rule. and so we need to have checks and balances. >> yang: last summer, booker introduced a bill to protect mueller. his co-author is south carolina republi

will they go to mr. bannon or mr. trump in the wake of the feud? i think it is too soon to say, but this is palace intrigue and those of us in washington love it, but it has strong implications for the conservative base as we move to 2018 and the midterm elections. laura: and the fact that the cutest about what steve bannon said in this new book about essentially the exposure of the trump family to robert mueller's probe, what does that tell you about the president's state of mind? ron: the president is clearly worried about the russia investigation that is not showing any signs of wrapping up anytime soon, and for mr. bannon to be quoted as saying that he thought it was not only not legal, but treacherous, treasonous, this is amazing coming from mr. bannon, and i have to think that mr. trump sitting in the west wing was so , so upset today. oftentimes, laura, less is more in politics, and we have a long statement from the president. laura: and meanwhile, we have former campaign chair paul manafort, who himself has been , althoughy mueller not for

to face with the news that mr. trump attempted to fire the special counsel back in june. and of course when asked if he'd ever considered that by the media he said never have. well, apparently that is not the case. >> yes, this idea that he has allegedly pushed to have mueller removed is quite worrisome. let's remember that when director of the fbi james comey was fired, i think that turned into a political storm very quickly. perhaps not based on the way that everyone felt about it previously. there was deep frustration with comey from the republicans and the democrats, particularly based on how he handled hillary clinton's private e-mail server during the election. so once an fbi director loses trust with all politicians across the aisle and with the country, action has to be taken whether it is their fault or not. but to remove mueller who i think has a lot of respect across the board would be much more concerning. of course the president does deny it and it is difficult for us to know to what extent he was actually calling for him to be fired or if he was ventsing or
