i am stephanie ruhle. i want to give you the latest on that huge development out of a federal courthouse in washington, d.c. paul manafort, donald trump's former campaign chair has pled guilty to conspiracy against the united states and conspiracy to obstruct justice. that includes witness tampering. nbc's ken delaney is outside the courthouse in washington. ken, walk me through one more time. >> reporter: paul manafort officially pled guilty to those two charges you just outlined. that was expected. the mystery of the day was is he cooperating with robert mueller, and lead prosecutor andrew weissmann called this plea arrangement a cooperation agreement, so most people are interpreting that as yes, he's cooperating. we don't know against whom. we don't know what evidence he's offering the mueller team, but this is a bombshell development. the idea that donald trump's campaign chairman, who was in very sensitive meetings during the time he was running that campaign, who came to the campaign with many connec

which stephanie wants to freeze down to size. we have small and distinct deposits of fat which we call localized obesity. one or two handfuls are not a problem. it's also possible to treat larger areas with multiple applications although it's not a suitable method for overweight people to become thin. this was developed and tested by scientists at harvard university in the us. it's going to be cold in which the ante for. protects your skin it's only the fat cells we want to freeze after all. then the applicator is placed in position it uses a vacuum to suck in fatty tissue and then cool it to a temperature of four degrees celsius. this is shown it's unpleasant but it's bearable i was expecting it to be much worse. then the patient has to wait while the cold from the applicator leeches away the energy from the fat cells causing the metabolism to come to a still stand the cells die off. the device is removed after sixty minutes the chilled tissue is then massaged vigorously. this hour on this one we're doing now is crushing the fat

it was a kind of story stephanie loved to tell. i want to do the story that highlights people and their struggles. still reporting that story in no way prepares stephanie to live in which exactly what she had to do three years later when she was diagnosed with the exact same cancer. >> a lot of times i think reporters, we talk about oh man, that hits close to home but tce. stephanie was flooded with information yet left wondering what to do. that is until a family friend and doctor, david nguyen, came over and walked through in plain english what life would look like for the next hours and weeks and months. >> thank goodness for david because if we had not had him, we would not know where to go and what do people deal with. >> reporter: steph understood that a few patients have a david. medical bills and finance. she set out to give them more. listing all the symptoms. >> reporter: on the rare day between chemo therapy, stephanie starts mapping out with post-it on the wall. a website that through actual cancer stories giving people

civil let's get more from stephanie decker who's in an attack in order with syria we want to ask you about the explosions have been taking place in the coastal province all of latakia stephanie what more can you tell us about these reports. lose a lot of confusion the beginning certainly wondering whether it had anything to do with what rory was just reporting on which is that announcement of the demilitarized zone but there was a statement by the official syrian state news agency saying that various missiles have been intercepted air defense systems deployed in latakia that targeted in the end a technical facility now sputnik which is a russian news source you're saying that it targeted syrian army infrastructure but that report from the syrian state news agency also quoting a military official saying that the missiles came from the sea now this you know when it comes to syria you always have to look at reports very carefully but i think it very clearly rules out the rebels and the opposition fighters there are various you know various countries have a presence in the mediterranean

deca live for us from that it's just across the border from stephanie you told us earlier about how president basically had to buy some time he's done that politically this is a success what does it mean for the people now inside. well i think what we're looking at here as a temporary plaster it doesn't fix the bigger issues it doesn't fix the complicated issues and it really does depend i think initially as you heard were referred to the hailsham how they are going to react because they are now it will be seen as a group capitulating to the pressures of turkey handing over there are heavy weapons and moving back fifteen to twenty kilometers from some of those positions there's also rebels in this area that turkey back so i think it would be safe to say that they will do whatever it is turkey's told them to do but the real challenge here the real question is how will the group h.t.s. and also others in the area that is seen as extremists react and i think then it always is with these things kemal as we know known over the years with syria we need to look at the ground to see if this

thanks i'm serious stephanie decker that live on the turkey syria border. a death penalty has been confirmed against seventy five people for their part in protests against the twenty thirteen military coup in egypt fifty others were given a life sentence including the former muslim brotherhood spiritual leader mohammed badie most of them were protesters who survived the massacre at a public square in cairo on his ear a shallot ballots reports. it began here in cairo as robust square in august twenty third protesters had staged a sisson demonstration against the military coup which deposed egypt's first democratically elected president mohamed morsy security forces moved in with a now as more than nine hundred protesters had been killed we have to have order from kill us just a con artist just to come out and now five years later president foster l.c.c. this government has decided to kill seventy five more. over its main mohammed rush one and yet seen how mature men are sentenced to death. they were part of a mess trial of seven hundred thirty nine people al

thank you. >> thank you, stephanie. and let me just say -- [applause] as we've seen vivid, visual images, the writing and the power of stuff in these words are incredibly strong, and i encourage you to also acquire this book. now, our third panelist, manuel pastor, sitting right next to me, is goingsi to talk about his book, state of resistance, what california's dizzying descent and remarkable resurgence means for america's future. little-known fact. manuel is really a native new yorker, but he has been a californian it's the age of six months, so they claim him and he's been incredibly busy and prolific and a born in california. he is a professor of sociology and american studies in ethnicity at the university of southern california. he directs the center for the study of immigration integration and connecting with points stephanie just made. he spent a scholar and an analyst, and if they can activists on environmental and economic challenges that low income urban communities face. he is going to talk to us about his

me directly as well my twitter and here at a j for now though we're going to speak to stephanie decker she is an attack on turkey's border with syria as i said if it's not the big offensive but how would you describe what you've seen today and heard today as far as an uptick in violence. well it's the biggest increase certainly since the airstrikes resumed don't choose day after what was just over a three week low. and there's a lot of back and forth whether this is the official start a lot of the pro-government media outlets are quoting military sources on the ground saying that this is a start but we haven't heard anything official a lot of these airstrikes and barrel bombs and artillery shelling that are going both ways or as you mentioned earlier come on in the southern part of italy province it is less populated it is more open land it is the countryside but there have been casualties six people killed so far so of course this is a concern we've just heard from turkey's foreign ministry wasn't you know scheduled to speak today but last minute it was announced he was calling for a

deco's in that's on the turkey syria border stephanie as we've said and heard from saying there really is live the focus of this meeting today in tehran turkey we know has long supported on assad rebels but has also called freighted with russia and iran on talks over syria in recent years techie very keen not to have a military offensive on its border what is turkey most concerned about right now as far as it is concerned. well as the humanitarian consequence but let me just bring you back to what the president said there i think he gave a couple of important hints as to how perhaps we may see if the begin to shape up he said that the the safety of air base had this is the russian military base in lattakia needs to be guaranteed by all means well you can read between the lines into that that perhaps an offensive an escalation of what we've seen over the last couple of days of air strikes in those southern areas southern province in the areas of good targets of the group. that's the group formerly known as in a store front linked to al qaida it seems he seems to be agreeing that he also

here to debate that and the other big stories, joe, stephanie, josh and jim. let's begin with what is now the big story of the day and that is that amazon milestone. steph, i said becoming the second company ever to hit a trillion dollars in market cap a stock that you have owned for quite a while. >> yeah, i have, and it's worked out way better than i thought, honestly the story real changed, though, after last quarter where it went from just looking at growth and how much they could drive revenue growth in both of their end markets and went to one of profitability and operating leverage i think people got very comfortable over the last couple of weeks, we've gotten comfortable with maybe that's actually sustainable i actually do think it is sustainable and i think the company has taken the right turn to focus on that that gives you more support in terms of valuation. >> how did you get to the point -- and i remember when we had this conversation before you bought the stock -- where you realized that the risk that you thought you might be taking was worth the

thanks dude i was there stephanie decker live on the turkey syria for. the death penalty has been confirmed against seventy five people for their part in protest against the twenty thirteen military coup in egypt fifty of those were given a life sentence including the former muslim brotherhood spiritual leader mohamed badie a most of them were protesters who survived a massacre at a public square in cairo palace reports. it began here in cairo's robust square in august twenty thirty protesters had staged a sisson demonstration against the military coup which deposed egypt's first democratically elected president mohamed morsy security forces moved in with the now as more than nine hundred protesters had been killed rob's have ordered from you know us just a con artist just to come out and now five years later president foster government has decided to kill seventy five more. over its main mohammed asha one and you seen how mature men are sentenced to death. they were part of the mass trial of seven hundred thirty nine people all arrested as they proteste

stephanie. it looks like there is a one—week delay for an fbi investigation, whatever that throws up. it seems the last few days on capitol hill were really unedifying. it was emotional and it is difficult to predict how this will play out. one week for an fbi investigation is not a lot of time to get to the bottom of what happened 36 years ago so it is unrealistic to think that they will come up with something that will change the outcome. the issue is if someone else comes forward in the meantime that gives more credibility to what is a credible testimony by christine blasey ford, and that makes it harder for some of the moderate republican senators, of alaska and maine, the other huge amount of pressure to get this right and you will see from the polls that have come out more recently that republican women are dropping in support for brett kavanagh dramatically. it dropped about 18 percentage points. is your point that lawmakers are following those polls and if that having any resonance wit

stephanie? >> reactions to professor ford's testimony filled social media, as you can imagine, with many messages from sexual assault survivors, sharing their stories for the first time. calls to the national sexual assault hotline rose 147% during that hearing. >> and one woman who is 76 years old called into c-span during the hearing with a powerful account of something she experienced decades ago. here is a listen. >> yes. i'm a 76-year-old woman who was sexually molested in the second grade. this brings back so much pain. i thought i was over it but it's not. you will never forget it. you get confused and you don't understand it but you never forget what happened to you. without my family, i would never have been able to go through this, and now i'm 76 years old and i thought i was over it until i heard that it happened to someone else, and it is just -- it is such a shame. >> such a moment there. the woman who identified herself as brenda from missouri also told c-span that since her attack

i'm stephanie ruhle. we're just moments away from the kickoff of the final day of confirmation hearings for supreme court nominee kavanaugh. it is a big one. let's go straight to capitol hill where msnbc's garrett haake is standing by. help me through a koefcontrover i don't get. surrounding democratic senator booker releasing documents that some said were confidential. they ended up not being. what happened? >> here's the short version. coming into these hearings, a bunch of documents related to cavanaugh's work back in the bush administration were committee confidential. senators were allowed to look at them, know about them but they weren't allowed to talk about them in the hearing unless they had gotten them precleared beforehand. democratic senators thought this was a terrible idea. they thought this was a sham rule. on the first night of the hearings, cory booker read from one of those e-mails and just by doing so broke senate rules. what we saw yesterday, this book and forth between primarily booke

stephanie? >> we'll soon find out. we have to turn now, money, power politics and the consequences of the trump administration's trade battle with china. wilbur ross telling them that american consumers will not feel the pain from the escalating trade war. >> have you done the math so you know what an average family in america will pay once these tariffs go into effect? >> you can do the numbers this way. if you have a 10% tariff on another $200 million, that's $20 billion a year. that's a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of 1% total inflation in the u.s. because it's spread over thousands and thousands of products, nobody's going to actually notice it at the end of the day. >> nobody is a tough word to use on that, especially because prices are rising. most notably on washing machines. and the most recent round of tariffs are not scheduled to go into effect until later this year or possibly the beginning of next year. after china responded with tariffs on $60 billion of u.s. goods, president trump threatened to impose even m

well stephanie becker joins us now from ray on a near turkey's border with syria i mean that's quite a shocking phrase there just all in its own stephanie you know violence or catastrophe that we haven't seen in the seventy a year long war so far so what is the latest that you're hearing about the situation in italy. well from what we understand that number of dead has now risen to seventeen including five children around as you mentioned that southwestern area vidlin province also road and yes i mean the fears of the humanitarian catastrophe in the words of the united nations if this becomes a full on military offensive is huge we've been speaking to that head of the turkey's red crescent just coming out of it live just to tell you where we are that is a province behind us all those tents you see crammed together our tents for the internally displaced along turkey's border it is of course closed he was telling us well you know they're trying to prepare inside they don't want anyone to cross into turkey which is why those borders are closed he says there's no light at the end of the

mark, i have not seen you in ages. >> i know, stephanie. it is election season and you are right that the nbc/"wall street journal" poll came out yesterday and it is showing brett kavanaugh with 38% opposing the nomination, and 34% in support, and stephanie what is standing out about this is that the nbc/"wall street journal" poll is asking the supreme court nominees questions since john roberts. this is the first time a nominee below water and more below than supporting. where is this new opposition coming from? because in the august poll, it showed that brett kavanaugh is slightly above water, and it is women over 50 and suburban women and independents and seniors who have all ended up moving from august to september, but it is also worth noting that the people who have not moved in the poll, and who have actually gotten strong for brett kavanaugh, and that is the republican women and republican men who have now more firmly behind brett kavanaugh than they were back in august. but to me, with the biggest part of all of this is where the i

let's go live now to stephanie who's in in southern turkey right by the syrian border and stephanie without doubt that this is the rebels last stand in the province. it really is and many people in the opposition don't really want to admit it because they realize that you know and is now i in the sense of holding territory the syrian government has made it very clear they're going to retake it how that's going to happen i think at this point in time still remains a question mark a lot of political negotiations going on behind the scenes to try and limit the military operation because of course as you're mentioning there the humanitarian concerns because the borders are closed with turkey it's mostly surrounded by government territory that nobody wants to go to there is a small sliver controlled by turkey the euphrasia shield area but again it is at the end of the day the last area controlled by the rebel opposition so once the government takes a back and they say they will then you know the dream so to speak of the little what's left of the opposition is over so i think that is significant

and stephanie we were reporting a statement from state media there in syria reporting explosions in the coastal province of latakia what more have you been hearing about this. well it's been quite a confusing picture in the last hour or so reports and video coming out of what is perceived to be latakia now we have the only thing we can confirm which is the official syrian state news agency sana'a saying that the air defense system has intercepted various what they say missiles coming from the sea they are quoting a military source and saying that one of the hits was on what they're calling a technical industries from what we understand that some corner of an industrial zone inside latakia that is all we know at the moment certainly the video that i have seen shows a huge explosion the timing of this is of course interesting because it comes just two hours after we had the announcement as you heard were you talk about there of that to militarize own but if you read what state news agency is confirming according to their military source that these missiles came from this sea while rea

so stephanie was saying their picture is filmed by our friends from al-jazeera arabic in southern parts of italy but believe it is as you were saying that everybody's areas under attack now not largely inhabited is that right so it's sort of almost like a i don't like using a phrase that is but almost a dry run for what might be coming. they are sparsely populated as you probably see it's open and it's tiny villages and a lot of the civilians that been living in those areas have moved further north so yes the the concern has always been there's a let's just put it into perspective that the rumors are always been that that would be the first part of the campaign what you're seeing happening now in southern india province to the concern is of course once it moves towards the more densely populated areas three over three and a half million people live in particular around the cities and the armed groups in there many of those come all are among the civilians in those cities this is why you have the u.n. special envoy stefan de mistura calling for you know the rebels to leave the cities wel

in the turkey syria border thank you very much for that update stephanie now u.s. president donald trump warned syria via twitter against launching an attack on it with the help of russia and iran he added that syria's allies would be making a grave humanitarian mistake to take part in this potential human tragedy hundreds of thousands of people could be killed he tweeted don't let that happen and the kremlin in response said the white house doesn't have a comprehensive approach to solving the crisis in syria and that it laid coat is a hornet's nest of terrorists let's go live to our a challenge our correspondent in moscow moscow seems unfazed by donald trump's warnings. at the moment yes i mean i don't think it's phased in general because it's got a difficult balancing act of the moment stephanie was saying there the turkish are very anti an upcoming offensive in it live and russia does have to listen to what he is saying it's being fairly bullish when it comes to swatting away donald trump's comments as we just heard their butts the government in ankara has a bit

set the stage for us. >> stephanie, this really is extraordinary. when you think about it, so much of what happens in washington and on capitol hill, even in this modern era, has a paint by numbers feel to it. you can predict the timing and the pace of how some of these things go. we are so far off the scale when it comes to this hearing that it's scheduled to happen on monday. we don't necessarily even know that both parties are actually going to be there yet or whether this will happen. there is so many uncertainty in this moment about the kavanaugh nomination and how and whether or not it goes forward. and what this hearing will like if it happens. you mentioned anita hill, the ghosts of 1991 are very much present in this moment. there's a number of senators who don't want to see anything like that happened in 1991 play out here. if this hearing takes place, we'll go beyond what has been up to this point this idea of an audience of two who weren't in the room, right. during the first stage of confirmation hearings for kavanaugh. so much of this i
