2:31 am
officially will be out of this treaty. this is a cold war arms control treaty signed back in the 1980s by president ragan and mikhail gorbachev all aimed at arms control. the question now, are we in an arms race. the russians, according to the u.s., have deployed multiple battalions of their missiles that are conventional at the moment. it can target into europe and the u.s. now upon withdrawal will begin testing its version of the missile and try to get some congressional funding programs to begin its own program. there is very little hope according to experts that the russians will come back to the table on this.hi and talk about security and stability for the countries in europe. if the u.s. decides to go ahead

and field the new missile, they will need those europea of the american missiles and nations like poland that are nervous about next door russia just might agree to take the american weapons. christine, boris. >> barbara starr, thank you for that. for the third time in eight days north korea has conducted a missile test. u.s. officials believe the latest test on thursday involve a new short range ballistic missile similar to the two other launches in recent days. even though they violate u.n. resolutions. president trump says he has no problem with them. >> reporter: is kim testing you? >> i think it's very much under control. >> reporter: why do you say that? >> very much under control. short-range missiles, we never made an agreement on that. i have no problem. we'll see what happens, but these are short-range missiles. they're very standard. >> i have no problem. analysts believe the recent launches signal north korea's

displeasure with upcoming military exercises between the u.s. and south korea including their decision to evade north korean radar. the u.s. preparing to bring back thousands of troops from afghanistan. the trump administration negotiating a peace deal with the taliban right now. two sources familiar with negotiations say the number of u.s. troops in afghanistan would shrink from 14,000 to between 8 and 9,000 in the coming months. a spokesman says the move is part of the administration's push to end the war in afghanistan which has dragged on for nearly 18 years. this has been a signature issue for president trump going back to the early days of his candidacy in 2015. here's what he said about afghanistan just last month. >> we're like policemen. we're not fighting a war. if we wanted to fight a war in afghanistan and win it, i could win that war in a week, i just don't want to kill 10 million people. does that make sense to you?
2:34 am
i don't want to kill 10 million people. i have plans on afghanistan that if i wanted to win that war, afghanistan would be wiped off the face of the earth. it would be it would be over in -- literally in ten days. >> the trump administration has already gun shrinking the u.s. embassy in afghanistan. the goal is to cut half the embassy's personnel by the end of september. >> tariff man is back one day after trade talks wrapped in china. president trump said he will slap 10% tariffs on $300 billion starting next month effectively taxing all chinese goods coming into the u.s. >> when my people came home they said, we're talking. we have another meeting in early september. i said, that's fine, but in the meantime until such time as there's a deal, we'll be taxing them. >> this is on top of tariffs already imposed on $250 billion of chinese goods. this will hit tech particularly hard.
2:35 am
goods like iphones, consumer electronics will be taxed. it will affect sneakers and toys as he has many times before, trump falsely claimed this. >> we're taking in many billions of dollars. there's been absolutely no inflation and, frankly, it hasn't cost our consumer anything. it costs china. >> just not true. business groups and the u.s. chamber of commerce coming out against tariffs saying they will only hur consumers and ultimately undermine the economy. china's foreign minister said china will take counter measures. investors not happy at all. the dow had a 600 point swing from up 300 down 281 points in the end. retail, tech, industrial stocks fell big. look at best buy. crude oil took a dive indicative of how this trade war will hurt global growth and could kill demand for oil. republican congressman will hurd of texas joining a growing
2:36 am
list of republicans saying he will not run for re-election. he plans to pursue opportunities in the private sector, dissolve problems between technology and national security. he cited international competition and artificial intelligence and instability in central america. hurd is the only black republican in the house of representatives and he's a frequent critic of president trump. just on thursday he scolded the president for his recent attacks against four congress women of color, the squad. he told the washington post, quote, when you imply that someone doesn't look like you and telling them to go back to africa, wherever, you're implying they're not an american and you're implying they have less worth than you. as the dust settles from the cnn democratic debate, joe biden said he was surprised at the amount of criticism aimed at former president barack obama. the real target, of course, was biden. the former vp has tied himself closely to obama who is beloved
2:37 am
among democrats. campaigning in detroit, biden was asked about the attacks on obama's legacy. >> i must tell you, i was a little surprised at how much there was about barack, about the president. i'm proud of having served with him. i'm proud of the job he did. i don't think there's anything he has to apologize for. i hope the next debate we can talk about how we fix our answers to fix the things that trump has broken not how barack obama made all these mistakes. he didn't. >> president trump also noticed the attacks on obama and talked about them in his campaign rally in cincinnati. >> i was watching the so-called debate last night -- , and i also watched the night before. that was long, long television. and the democrats spent more time attacking barack obama than
2:38 am
they did attacking me practically. >> a spokesman for obama declined to comment on the attacks from biden's democratic rival. >> former aides said they were furious about the attack. let's bring in jackie kucinich. >> good morning. >> we have to talk about the attacks during the democratic debates on president obama. pretty hare much tuesday and wednesday night by thursday the candidates walked them back a little bit. take a look. >> yeah. >> we are having an honest conversation about an administration that was incredible. i would take him back. heck, if he was to run for president for a third term, i wouldn't be running. >> i have nothing but praise for president obama. i think he did great work. >> i've always praised barack obama. last night i did that with regard to the economy. at the same time, let me be very clear, don, i do believe that when it comes to immigration, i said this when i was mayor of san antonio before i joined the
2:39 am
obama administration, that there were ways we could improve on what president obama was doing. >> president obama was a great president. i think poor a lot of us we are looking how to build on his accomplishments? you're suggesting at least on the issue of immigration he shouldn't be surprised. >> reporter: welcome to democratic primary politics especially on the issue of immigration. if you spoke to people during obama's base, they weren't happy how obama was running it, particularly deportations during obama's term. >> they called him the deporter in chief. >> reporter: they called him the deporter in chief. particularly on that issue, it's really hard for me to believe that biden was surprised because that was bubbling up throughout the eight years that obama was
2:40 am
president. on some of these other issues, again, there was a lot of debate during -- when the aca was going through the legislative process about how far to the left they should go. they ended up in the middle, which is i think why you hear some of the lawmakers and some of the governors that have had to implement it saying, well, guys, you can't -- what you're -- some of the medicare drug proposals, that's not going to be possible. that's going to be a little bit too hard to implement. >> isn't that what president trump wants? he remained relatively unscathed and now the conversation is about obama's legacy and not him. he's joking about it at a rally. >> that's the risk during these debates is that you take that -- some of these democrats are taking their eye off president trump. that said, it's also the aim of these debates to contrast different democrats who are vying for their parties.
2:41 am
>> sure. >> i can't imagine when we're talking in a general election that it's not going to be about president trump and his policies, that it's going to be about president obama at that point. but they do risk alienating voters that love president obama, that miss president obama. a lot of those voters who are big joe biden fans as a result by going hard against his legacy. some of these other candidates. >> cory booker said, look, we really miss obama and her husband. >> i know. let's talk a little bit about impeachment. by our count you have 117 house democrats who back an impeachment inquiry. that is 22 since robert mueller had his public testimony. it makes manu raju look like he had a crystal ball last month when he was talking with house speaker nancy pelosi. listen. >> reporter: if a majority of the caucus wants to go forward would you go for it?
2:42 am
>> it's not even close in our caucus. >> that was only in june. slowly chipping away to 117. what's your snoint. >> manu is a little clairvoyant, isn't he? it's not only that there are more, it's who is backing impeachment. someone like elliott engel, the fact that he has put his name in there. that said, among democratic leaders, the most important flame is nancy pelosi, right? without her backing it would be a major coupon if they decided to go forward without her blessing on this. that said, you know, some of the president's actions particularly, racist comments of late, democrats have a range of reasons why they're choosing to speak up now and that is both -- it's causing the surge but it also could be problematic because it could look a little unfocused if they decide to go forward. >> it's also dammed if you do,
2:43 am
dammed if you don't. >> totally. >> if they don't go for impeachment, trump says they didn't have enough evidence. >> yes. >> you heard that during the debate. julian castro made that point when he was speaking about impeachment. so there really is a hot debate out in the house right now as to how to handle this. >> jackie kucinich, thank you. >> have a great weekend. >> you guys, too. just moments ago the lawyer for one of the american teenagers for one of the teenagers accused of killing an italian police officer made a statement. we go live next. i don't keep track of regrets.
