U.S. senator slams President Trump in escalating Republican feud - Duration: 1:35.
A Republican senator has launched a scathing attack on President Trump over his handling
of the North Korean threat.
He also accused the president of being untruthful... and of damaging the reputation of the United
States on the global stage.
Yu Joonhee reports.
Appearing on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Wednesday,...
Republican senator Bob Corker of Tennessee,... launched a searing verbal onslaught on President
Trump,... after the two exchanged insults on Twitter.
Corker said the president was hurting America's global standing... with his "untruths", "name-calling"
and "attempted bullying",... heightening the ongoing feud between the two Republicans.
He added... that Trump was out of his depth when it comes to foreign policy,... particularly
in dealing with North Korea,... and that he should leave it to the professionals to resolve
the issue.
Corker warned... the president was taking the U.S. on "a path to World War III"... and
that Trump needed to step back... in order for positive developments to occur.
The controversy began... when Trump attacked Corker on Twitter... over his role in helping
former president Barack Obama... reach what he called a "bad deal" with Iran.
This prompted a tweet from Corker,... who accused the president of being untruthful...
while describing the White House... as an "adult day-care center".
The ongoing feud between Trump and congressional Republicans... is adding to uncertainties
surrounding the GOP's efforts... to push through its proposed tax reforms.
President Trump is hoping to score his first major legislative victory... by passing the
tax bill through the Republican-majority Congress... by the end of the year.

U.S. Supreme Court dismisses Hawaii travel ban case as 120-day ban expires - Duration: 0:32.
U.S. media are reporting that the Supreme Court will not review President Trump's travel
ban policy, after a 120-day ban on refugees expired on Tuesday.
The legal challenge from Hawaii involves Trump's earlier version of his travel ban, which targeted
people from several Muslim-majority nations, and the case is likely to be sent to lower
courts.
Washington will now reportedly allow refugees to enter the U.S., but applicants will likely
go through a tougher vetting process.

Five US Presidents Stand For Anthem At Benefit, Most Miss Secret Message On George Bush Sr 's Blazer - Duration: 22:32.
Five US Presidents Stand For Anthem At Benefit, Most Miss Secret Message On George Bush Sr.'s
Blazer
Just this weekend five former US presidents (and President Trump by video conference call)
came together at the One America Appeal to raise money for Americans suffering from hurricane
devastation.
As IJR reports, it was a time when all presidents went to the podium to give remarks and rally
the crowd.
The remarks were all about bringing us together and getting through hard times.
Jimmy Carter, for example, talked about his work with Habitat for Humanity, and praised
Americans for spending so many hours each year volunteering.
It was all about responding to tragedy by coming together, and these five former presidents
were putting aside their political differences in order to unite in the effort.
A moment that really caught everyone's attention, however, came right at the beginning as the
national anthem played.
All the US presidents stood with their hands on their heart as the anthem played, although
George H.W. Bush Sr. could not due to being in a wheelchair now.
He still put his hand over his heart and showed his love for country.
There was a small detail on his blazer jacket that many people didn't see, however.
That's because it was very hard to see, but still definitely intentional.
If you look closely, you can see that George HW Bush had his sleeve specially stitched
in red, white and blue.
George W. Bush might be an anti-Trump traitor who wants to rant on about "white supremacy,"
but at least his dad knows how to show some respect, right?
What do you think about Bush Sr's blazer jacket?
Was it corny or cool in your opinion?
Out of the five presidents who do you think was the best and who do you think was the
worst?
The event altogether
was
a success.
Here's a video about
the event:

Asiana Airlines given temporary waiver on enhanced security checks for U.S.-bound passengers - Duration: 0:45.
Asiana Airlines has been given a temporary waiver by the United States,... on new screening
measures that are being applied to all U.S.-bound passengers.
Korea's second-biggest air carrier says its request to delay the implementation of tightened
security checks was accepted.
In June, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration asked 180 airlines in 105 countries
to conduct pre-flight screening and interviews of passengers headed for the U.S.
Those measures are due to kick in on Thursday,... but Asiana has been given a six-month grace
period until April of next year... in consideration of its ongoing relocation to a new terminal
at Incheon International Airport.

US 'CLUELESS' on what to do with North Korea after readying nuke bombers - Duration: 2:08.
US 'CLUELESS' on what to do with North Korea after readying nuke bombers
"The United States has no coherent plan for what to do about North Korea" John Dunn A US Airforce chief revealed the US was planning to put their B-52 nuclear bombers back on 24-hour alert for the first time since the end of the Cold War.
This move comes after both Trump and Kim Jong-un threatened to destroy each other with missiles. And Cambridge political theory professor John Dunn has said that both leaders were playing a very dangerous game in threatening each other.
He added that the US does not know what to do next with the Hermit Kingdom's regime.
He said: "It is very bad for any American presidency to have any other country that doesn't have any other clear and mutual understanding about nuclear weapons to be in a position, in principal to attack the US." Mr Dunn also believes that the despot nation could have a nuclear missile capable of hitting Los Angeles.
But if they were to detonate this, then the US would attack the North and end the ruling regime. He added: "The United States has no coherent plan for what to do about North Korea.
"It is actually difficult to know what to do with a rogue nuclear state. which has no other ways of securing continuation of its political safety." North Korea's next missile test could come when Trump visits South Korea next month.

World War 3: US Air Force deploys F-35 fighter jets to Japan amid North Korea tension - Duration: 4:39.
World War 3: US Air Force deploys F-35 fighter jets to Japan amid North Korea tension
The hailed aircraft will arrive at the Kadena Air Base at the start of November as part of a six-month deployment initiative.
General Terrence O'Shaughnessy, a Pacific Air Forces commander said: "The F-35A gives the joint warfighter unprecedented global precision attack capability against current and emerging threats while complementing our air superiority fleet." He also told Defence News: "The airframe is ideally suited to meet our command's obligations, and we look forward to integrating it into our training and operations." Twelve A-models of the fighter jet will be supported by 300 airmen from Utah as part of the deployment.
The aircraft announcement comes after F-35s made an appearance at the Seoul International Aerospace and Defence Exhibition last week. The F-35A fighters will join the F-35B planes that have been stationed at the Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni since January.
The F-35A is used for traditional take-off and landings while the F-35B is capable of short take-off's and vertical landings. Both are stealth aircraft capable of inflicting incredible destruction on a chosen target.
The news of an increased military presence in Japan comes as the US and North Korea are engaged in a tussle that has upped World War 3 tensions another palpable gear.
The hermit kingdom recently labelled Japan a "stooge" and threatened the country with "bitter doom" in a statement from Kim Jong-un's puppet news agency.
Rodong Sinmun, the paper under control of the despot leader, fired the threats of annihilation at Tokyo as the rogue nation seems determined to provoke nuclear war.
The publication said: "During recent talks with the foreign minister of Denmark, Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono let loose a string of rubbish that 'it is important for the whole international community to step up pressure upon the DPRK so as to get it change its policy.' "Earlier, he clung to the sleeves of diplomatic officials of the UK, Germany, China, Ukraine and other countries to stoke an atmosphere of pressure against the DPRK, clamouring about the necessity to put renewed pressure upon it.
"It is ridiculous for Japan, no more than a stooge, to trumpet about maximum pressure.
"Now the economic policy of the Japanese authorities has faced doom. North Korea also lashed out at Tokyo for the current military drills the country is conducting on the Korean Peninsula.
The publication went on: "The Japanese reactionaries are also seeking to realise their goal of militarisation and ambition for re-invasion by abusing the increasing tension on the Korean Peninsula.
"They are endlessly conducting all sorts of war drills in waters close to the Korean peninsula together with the US.
"If Japan, a parasite living under the wing of the US, dares keep on rash acts to make a showdown with the DPRK, the former will only face bitter doom." The latest threats from the isolationist kingdom come as Japanese leader Shinzo Abe sealed a thumping re-election victory after vowing to take a tough stance on North Korea.

The Best New Architecture - Top 5 in the US - Summer 2017 - Duration: 5:16.
The best architecture made in the US recently, according to published reports, is the following
five designs.
They come from different places – big cities, countryside, and even from deep forests.
Position number 5.
The Watt Family Innovation Center is a university building where the students gather to meet
and study.
South Carolina is the state where the Clemson University tries to do the best for its students,
this time in cooperation with the architectural firm Perkins and Will.
Visually, the building is between an extremely simplified Greek temple, and a ship shaped
building packed with young people, classrooms and advanced technology.
Thanks to its glazing transparency, it seems inviting-us-all on-board, into the interior.
The architects have constructed complex multi layered facade - firm walls are behind the
wooden slats that are behind the metal frame and the huge glass windows.
There are many places in between these walls and layers, where students can be together
or study on their-own.
Simple furniture and bright orange accents are present all around.
This beautiful and expensive architectural design is all for students, but it is also
a great piece of promotion for the Clemson University and partner companies.
The next architectural design… as number 4 - a condominium building that relates quite
better to its context than it is usual for a location in New York, in the heart of Brooklyn.
This architectural piece is a product of the architect's and investor's decision
not to be so selfish like when you design huge high cubes that suck-off
all sky-and-air still left in Manhattan.
This design with cascade terraces on the upper half of the building, does not hurt the typical
Brooklyn urban structure, but improves it, giving a good example for the future projects.
People who will own and use these terraces will share great views over the city that
never sleeps, but more than that, they will be such a human connection between the sharp
city skyline and coziness of their own privacy.
For this approach to the project, being sensitive but decisive in its work, the New York's
architectural firm ODA deserves all the respect.
Further on the list… number 3 belongs to a place where you would like to escape from
pressures of everyday living.
The house is in a forest one hour drive from Seattle.
This architecture in the American Northwest makes you – if you are lucky enough to be
there – that you belong to the nature.
It is made of wood, and by its design, we cannot so clearly recognize if it comes from
the past, or it is recently built.
In fact, that is the quality that should be emphasized – this type of house, a hut,
retreat, cabin, made from the wood found around, is such a perfect structure for you to settle
in, that it can belong to all times, all generations, no matter if it's 19th or 21st century.
The truth is that the house is a decades-long process, probably still unfinished.
The architect is the owner himself, Jim Olson, the man who obviously succeeded
to integrate architecture and nature.
At number 2, there is a project of affordable housing, an example how to approach the problem
of making cheaper flats, but to stay in the typical building lines and shapes, in conditions
of South Los Angeles where different crimes are still present.
From the outside, the house seems to be protected, with living areas
directed toward inner open space.
With interesting roof opening that collects sunlight for that inner area, house is well
designed, in spite of the fact that it is almost a product of a scientific and social
calculation. Something similar to this…
At number one.
The housing with 52 units for disabled veterans.
That is not just a place to stay, this building offers protection, support, and medical services.
Architecture that is so successful makes a connection between private and the building's
inner public space where the tenants are encouraged to go, to share, to be together.
On the other side, the building is not isolated from the outside world.
Those levels of privacy and opportunities to be together, carved in a bold white design
statement, bring awards and many compliments to Brooks + Scarpa Architects.

WAR GAMES: US, Japanese and S. Korean ships practice shooting down North Korea missiles - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 3:29.
WAR GAMES: US, Japanese and S. Korean ships practice shooting down North Korean missiles
A FLEET of warships from the US, Japan and South Korea has practised shooting down missiles
amid fears North Korea is gearing up for another nuclear test.
The Aegis combat system-equipped ships from the three countries have been seen carrying
out the exercises in the waters off South Korea and Japan – just off North Korea's
border.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said the drills are designed to "prepare against growing nuclear
and missile threats by North Korea".
Although no missiles will be fired, the Armada will practice the detection and tracking of
rockets fired from the hermit state.
It comes just a day after a source in the White House warned a failure to properly confront
the nuclear threat posed by the hermit state will lead to a "darker era" in terms of
the crisis.
Just last month, Kim Jong-un's regime carried out its most powerful test to date – detonating
a Hydrogen Bomb.
Japan has said the risk of an attack is now "imminent", adding something must be done
immediately to prevent World War 3 from erupting.
The country's Defence Minister, Itsunori Onodera, said: "[The] threat posed by North Korea
has grown to the unprecedented, critical and imminent level.
"Therefore, we have to take calibrated and different responses to meet with that level
of threat."
The US has also deployed a number of deadly stealth jets to the Peninsula.
Military bosses are sending a dozen F-35A Lightning IIs and 300 airmen for a six-month
deployment in Japan.
F-35As are regarded as the world's most advanced jet, and will totally outmatch any
air power deployed by North Korea.
The latest drills come after five days of joint US-South Korea naval exercises.
Submarines USS Tucson and USS Michigan, and 40 vessels joined the aircraft carrier and
its 5,000 sailors arriving in the South Korean port city of Busan on Saturday.
The drills – also involving US fighter jets and helicopters – were training for a strike
against North Korea.
"This is what we have been training for," said commander Alex Hampton, a US Navy crewman
of 16 years, of the drills.
"Are we prepared for war?
Absolutely.
And I am confident in our abilities to execute anything that our national command authority
gives us to do."

Fears of IMMINENT North Korea attack as US stages missile drills on border
The drill is being done to prepare forces for the launch of a ballistic missile by North Korea, enabling the detection and tracking of the rocket.
Aegis combat system-equipped ships from the three countries are carrying out the exercises in the waters off South Korea and Japan – just off North Koreas border.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said they drills are designed to prepare against growing nuclear and missile threats by North Korea.
It comes as today a source in the White House warned a failure to properly confront the nuclear threat posed by the hermit state will lead to a darker era.
It is feared North Korea is gearing up to launch another missile. Just last month, Kim Jong-uns regime carried out its most powerful test to date – detonating a Hydrogen Bomb.
Japan has said the risk of an attack is now imminent, adding something must be done immediately to prevent World War 3 from erupting.
The countrys Defence Minister, Itsunori Onodera, said: "[The] threat posed by North Korea has grown to the unprecedented, critical and imminent level. "Therefore, we have to take calibrated and different responses to meet with that level of threat.".
There are reports the North could be waiting to carry out its biggest show of military and nuclear might when Donald Trump visits the region next month.
It is thought the US President could visit the South Korean side of the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) at the start of November.
A South Korean defence insider believes Kim Jong-un may be waiting for Trump to visit the region before launching a nuclear missile. When it comes to its nuclear and missile development, the process is still going on, the source said.
"North Korea may be waiting for US President Donald Trump to come to Northeast Asia and his message (during the upcoming trip).".
Just two days ago, Trump, who previously described arch-nemesis Kim as a rocket man, said he is preparing for World War 3 to erupt.
Speaking to Fox News, he said a war would not be nice before adding: Will that happen, who knows. He went on: We are so prepared like you wouldn't believe.
You would be shocked to see how totally prepared we are – if we need to be..

World War 3 ready: US & Seoul to address North Korea in COMBAT UNIFORMS in unusual warning - Duration: 3:49.
World War 3 ready: US & Seoul to address North Korea in COMBAT UNIFORMS in unusual warning
Kim Jong-un has ignored calls to back down from his reckless nuclear war and missile testing programme and has instead repeatedly threatened to destroy America, South Korea and Japan.
Sanctions and threats from the West have so far failed to stop the despot but officials are plotting a new way to intimidate.
The South Korean and US defence chiefs will this week meet kitted out in full military uniform - a move designed to leave Kim trembling.
South Korean Defence Minister Song Young-moo said he and US Secretary of Defence James Mattis plan to wear their respective uniforms during a joint warning.
Mr Mattis will wear a Marines uniform rather than a suit while Mr Song will wear a Navy combat uniform. Mr Song said: "I offered that to Secretary of Defence Mattis and he responded positively without hesitation.
" He said the event would send a "highly symbolic but strong message" to North Korea, South Korean-based news agency Yonhap News said.
Mr Song said the meeting will serve as an opportunity to show North Korea how "iron-clad" opposition to Kim was.
He said: "Whats more important is to demonstrate the ironclad alliance and reaffirm the US plan to send those assets promptly when they are necessary.
" However he stopped short of calling for US nuclear weapons to be brought to South Korea.
He said: "As there are virtually no time and space constraints with the development of weapons systems, the redeployment of tactical nuclear weapons is not that meaningful. "We are reviewing various factors.
The Navy and the Ministry of National Defence have commissioned related studies on international law and other elements. I think its also a matter of our governments will and budget." It comes after North Korea threatened to destroy the USA - with one particularly vicious article in a Pyongyang-based newspaper slating Donald Trump and his team as lunatics. .
The propaganda rag said: The lunatic hysteria of the US will precipitate its own destruction.
"The army and people of the DPRK turned out as one, rallied closer around respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un and are now dynamically advancing toward the final victory. If the US imperialists and the South Korean puppet forces make a small spark in the sphere where the DPRK exercises its sovereignty, our revolutionary armed forces will scorch the bases of aggression and provocation to make them impossible to live..
