From the New York Times I Michael Barbara. This is today the President issues, a new back on track, from predominantly muslim countries, has the power was he changed or just the message and a slope. East television about bygone era in russian american relations now takes on an entirely new relevance. It's Tuesday March seven in the morning, and thank you for joining us, the exact water signed by the president earlier today, protecting the nation from foreign terrorist entry into the United States. Is a vital measure for strengthening our national security on Monday inside it conference room in downtown Washington of fuel

in the White House, members of the president's cabinet announced an executive order, reassuring the temporary ban on immigration from us. Majority nations that, with this order, president Tromp is exercising his rightful authority to keep our people. Safe. It was in many ways a do over ablishn new vetting measures to keep radical islamic terrorists. Out of the United States of America we don't want to hear pretty sizeable protest here, as you can see several hundred people the president's first travel ban, which barred entry from seven countries led to protest. Confusion and outrage we will not read away before, ultimately,

Court found the order unconstitutional as threats to our security, continue to evolve and chain Monday's travel ban was different. Common sense dictates that we continually re, evaluate and reassess the systems we rely upon to protect our country. Did in both presentation. While no system can be made completely infallible, the american people can have high confidence. We are going to find ways to improve the betting process and thus keep terrorists from entering our countries and different. In substance, unlike the original, the new order will not block foreigners travelling with vowed green cards or visas. It will not fail admitting christian refugees over Muslims and it will not bar travellers from seven countries. Only six, the biggest difference of courses that Iraq has been left out. I spoke with New Coolidge, who has spent weeks reporting on the travel ban and Maggie Haber men, a White House rapporteur. It caused a whole lot of problems.

Trying to take a. U S ally with whom we are currently fighting a war against ISIS, to not allow the various people in that country to travel here for diplomatic military reasons, I think the other biggest difference is just it's a slow implementation at a slow phase en route. And then the sudden door slamming shot in the way that such chaos and left to many people in limbo, in detention. Airports around the country and around the world last time in at the White House is trying to say that this is based. The same. This is no retreat, and you know the lack of retreat is very important to the president. In fact, There are so many concessions and carve out in this one that You would have Democrats claiming a massive victory were not so afraid of their own base, getting upset if it looked like they were doing any praise ministration, but it certain fast Nathan, I mean that there are a lot of concessions in this new version. It is basically doing everything to answer what courts it

plain about, and I still think we will probably see a court challenged us based on history, but it is substantially different and on the Iraq peace. It is yes in terms of an ally on fighting terror you. Had the White House claim privately, that the change was made in terms of Iraq because the iraqi government had made the case Rex tillers than the Secretary of State, that they had it. Democrats operation in place for people they gun Ben and that they had gotten better and while portions them be true. We have also That actually is primarily the concern around alienating an ally. I want to express my appreciation to parliament. Draw a body of Iraq for his positive engagement and support for implementing these acts I don't want or too much on that, but what that suggested that this may not foremost be just about security. There may be questions of diplomacy and strategic partnership involved in which states are gonna. Be honest. Travel ban is pretty strong

when you think about the fact that Saudi Arabia isn't on the ban. Pakistan is included Afghanistan and included, and now one of the two countries that the islamic state is is east in Iraq also isn't in their so the question of kind of exactly which, which islamist terrorists the administration believes it is targeting. Is Israel question and starting to look more like. Countries like Libya and Somalia that are sort of easy to keep out or Yemen, rather than the countries where were most worried about a threat, both of you what is still the same. What was carried over from the original travel ban and exists still in the new one, large groups of people from these phenomena Lee Muslim countries won't be able to come to the United States. I think, particularly when you look at IRAN, there is huge iranian american community, many of whom have been here for decades and people travel to from the United States from IRAN to visit family for weddings for funeral to study, that's gonna, really effective that community

the somali community in Minnesota. You know again the same for those of us living here in New York City, Arbe, YO, YO many the big owners who for a lot of people, this is still going to really restrict their movement, their access to the United States? Let's talk for distant about refugees. The new travel and stops all refugees from entering the EU s foreign ninety days, but when that ends Few jeez are gonna run up against this separate issue, which is a cap on refugees, So between the two of those measures, Nick how hard is going to be for a refugee to enter the United States? I mean, my understanding is that we're getting pretty close to this fifty thousand cap for the year after which presumably refugee simply won't be able to get in under

President Obama, the cap for refugees, admitted to the United States states. Each year was one hundred and ten thousand, and President Trump has already lowered that to fifty thousand. So it's less than half of what it used to be, which is a pretty significant reduction in means that probably in just a month or two, already we have already reached when the president talks about why it so important to keep certain people out of the? U S right now. He almost always went to Europe, you look at Sweden, the other night. Did you see what happened in Sweden the other night? France is no longer France, you got many have Paypal going into Germany and other countries in Europe right now and says that their open borders allow for attacks by islamic terrorists all over Europe. Its happening is their truth to that threat. I think it's important to recognize that there have been some pretty devastating attacks when I think of the Paris attire associated Ass reported there have been two suicide attacks and one bombing outside of Sakharov Stadium thereof, also

and shootings and a large number of people have been taken hostage, so the brussel attacks a series of deadly bombs, at least one injuring, with nails, killing dozens, injuring hundreds to remember that anyone Remember that anyone responsible for border security, does wake up. In the middle of the night, having had nightmares that they let the person in who committed the attack. This is it. This is arrive, talk to these people, and this is a real fear for them. And if you're responsible for this nation security, Take it very very seriously, but the evidence statistically is that the people from these countries have not been committing deadly terrorist attacks. Leaders it's for the most part, the original seven and now the final sex. Exactly the White House work closely with the Department of Homeland Security Department of Justice in the Department of State to create an order that addresses previous concerns and protects the home,

and in every one of our citizens? Let's turn of the changes in presentation Maggie describe the scene for US and the Reagan building in downtown Washington when this new plan was announced, it's a little bit of a different, seeing them what we saw less time, which was just a montage really primarily with the president right and this time it was secretary of state extortion, this route eyes in order will bolster the security of the United States and her out it was attorney General Jeff sessions. The department of Justice believes that this executive order is, lawful and proper exercise a presidential authority integrity, If Homeland Security, John Kelly, the fact remains that we are not immune to terrorist threats and that our enemies often use our own freedoms in generosity, against a site. No trump Why wasn't the president there to explain this major new executive order? Well, he has an amazing ability to compartmentalize to some extent anyway, on certain things: the first.

Was this massive success according to him, despite with court said, and despite what our own, told us on all these images and airports to go ray sign. It again would be giving his critics something in his mind, and so it is much easier make this seem like some the strait of detail that had to be tended to buy cabinet secretary, is as opposed to something the president would do. Personally Part of what really strikes me When the initial ban came down and you had people literally trapped in airports, and then you have citizens outside protesting to try to free them. You have you, have a big seeing you have a big stank and you have a problem that you need to deal with, and I think it also probably helps catch the attention of the courts and and so on. But you know if done a little more carefully and handled a little more slowly and people aren't out with their placards at the hatch.

Kay and allay axiom. Maybe maybe you can slowly star restricting travel from these countries in a more permanent way, Nicholas Maggie. Thank you very much for coming out this extra having us we'll be right back America's biopharmaceutical companies have one very important thing in common: a common enemy they're, making great progress because their collaborating in ways they ve never done before. In a matter of weeks, they have progressed from potential treatments for cover.

the virus, because science is how we get back to normal. What does she sends a tape we might have to leave you and dad we're late, Are you serious when the Americans debuted and twenty thirteen it evoked a dish? in era in american life. When the Soviet Union saw to inflict damage on the United States and our demo product system, Philip, and but the Jennings posing as suburban travel agents in Virginia, are actually soviet spies, James

Papa was. It is the chief television critic at the times and an admirer of the show whose marriage was arranged by the KGB, were moved to the United States of America, where they established to cover bought a house right. Is to children and dawn a variety of fantastic wig and undergo very, covert operations to gain intelligence, etc. For mother Russia, as the fifth season of the Americans begins tonight, the maps of the Soviet Union looms over the fictional story of Philip and Elizabeth, but outside the walls of the show. New and very real era in the? U S, relationship to Russia is just beginning, that means will see the show much differently than we did before you were watching a story about a chapter an american history that we felt was over and also an l

that allowed you to engage with the story of basically America's enemies, because you knew that the Soviet Union was going to lose the claiming to fan the law was going to fall. You know, communism would fail, etc, etc. Sir you're, watching these characters, who are essential fighting a doomed mission way. He opened the newspaper now necessarily the way you're C4 story, kind of changes, let's talk about some of the more obvious parallels between what's going on in the American and what's happening right now, an element that yet did has in placing the Americans for while is these sort of. Nebulous grey area between diplomacy and espionage, there's a whole story line that involves the resident euro, which is the best way KGB office, then the soviet Embassy in Washington that you know undertakes

official activities and less official activities that you know does legitimate diplomatic work and liaison with spies, and so there is a sort of in a funding there of, the boundaries between the legitimate Illegitimate presence of the Soviets in the United States in the same way that that sounds familiar to, although not exactly like this whole question of who as the russian ambassador had conversations walkin when and what were they talking about? Who is being offered what so, Only that that idea of funding the boundary between diplomacy and espionage is is very from, if we use the Americans and the cold war as a starting point, and we and today How much has spy craft evolved from the nineteen. Eighty is Russia to today in seventeen Russia. I should pay

this by saying that I'm I'm basing my knowledge on the fictional Ized presentation of espionage, that's presented in the Americans, question hour or tv critic and international security reporter essentially the court's. That's just what a covert spiderman I want my life, but yes, there is a kind of a sort of school analogue quaintness. He- and I too, what you see in in the Americans, Acer, pre digital version of spying. You stage elaborate long con operations, and you know you get on pray into the office of the FBI by having a sham marriage with secretary. Why didn't? I it's a different form, its immersive, you know.

In a way that involves serve bearing yourself, essentially in a role as a pole is to cracking information and then deciding how that can best be put to you Another big difference is that the lines between the Soviet Union and United States our farm, were clearly drawn in this show back there it was more about buys versus spies agents of the Soviet Union against ages of the? U S government. Now it feels like those lines, are much poorer well, I'm in again. That's that's another view seems almost quaint and reassuring about the Americans. Now you know, then, let us be aware that while they preach the supremacy of the state of Threeg and said that the Soviet Union was the evil empire, they are the focus of evil in the modern world. Now, there's this whole question of well, on our side is in the end, If Russia, whose framing Russia has for a while, by the sort of

nebulous friend me status with the United States to begin with, but you know now you have questions of well where they involved with a campaign. Do they have influence in the government that is in power. Now it's it's a much much game than anything that is going on in the Americans, which is supposed to be the fantasy version. Spying in my tv watching adulthood years, couple of shows, I think, of homeless, and would you mentioned, but also twenty four found ways to really capitalize on their relevancy. In the moment they seem to really inhabit America's deepest anxieties about terrorism and external threats the Americans goin to do that and candid and possibly do that, can whatever with the? U S and Russia right now I mean I think it. Sir we could. You know I don't

would that be final season of the Americans is going to involve. You know a time jumped to vast, although one parading past it, but that there is certainly a lot that you can do to player parallels? I think there are just the thematic things that you can play into, which is one distinguishing feature of spinners Jan just give the news today. Is this notion of not being caught sure what is real disinformation, and I think that a show basically based on a why people who have created an entire fictitious store for themselves, probably has a lot of room? Do you know play with its story line in ways that Maybe you're still sat in the cold war, but feel very twenty. Seventeen fake news? news. It feels very nostalgic for

besides the oars, and I count myself among them to watch a show that glamorize is a part of history. Even a war and our history now that it's completely over and I guess The big question with the arrogance is: can you glamorize are relevant, going conflict in the same way you know what one analogy I would say to the Americans that I think I've, even though it was a comedy, is mash. You know, MASH was a comedy about the cream war right, except those really Vietnam WAR as Hell Remember you earlier last worries inhale. Where is war and hell, is hell in a bit to what were the last words? And you know you didn't need a decoder ring to figure out the the parallel and then the commentary them there was going on. There are no one bystanders inhale, the wars shock, follow them little kids cripples old. Ladies For if you were the brass, almost everybody involve an innocent bystanders so

while I am not sure that you could necessarily cell story about lovable air of spies seeking to infiltrate the trunk campaign in twenty sixteen, there might be a bit too soon. You can certainly Hearn serve like MASH, did a story of the last war into a store? this war games. Thank you very much. Thank you here's what else you need to know the house Republicans have unveiled their long awaited plan to repeal and replace the affordable care at the planned would rob is the mandate that Americans have insurance with the system of tax its aimed at encouraging them to buy it on the free market, and the times is report

that President Trop worried about political fall out from republican efforts to defend plan parenthood, privately off to preserve the group's federal funding if it stopped performing abortions, and parenthood has declined the offer. Finally, the Supreme Court will not rule on a major case involving transgender rights, as it had planned to after that, Tromp administration reversed a federal government position that public schools be allowed to use the bathroom of their choice. That's it for really I Michael whereby see you tomorrow?
