The United States has warned the Assad regime in Syria may be making preparations for another chemical weapons attack on civilians.

In a statement from the Press Secretary today, the United States said it "has identified potential preparations for another chemical weapons attack by the Assad regime that would likely result in the mass murder of civilians, including innocent children".

The statement warned Bashar al-Assad and his military "will pay a heavy price" if he conducts another "mass murder attack using chemical weapons" like the one on April 4, 2017.

Malcolm Nance says if it were him, he would cop a plea.


Malcolm Nance tonight on All In With Chris Hayes on MSNBC, discussing the Steele dossier:


"There's one interesting point about what Trump said, you know calling him [Comey] up and saying you know, "It's not me and hookers", but he never ... I mean this thing alleged that there was a $19 billion dollar payoff if Russian sanctions are lifted in there. It alleges that Trump administration people said that they would conduct surveillance against Russian oligarchs in the United States for the Russian government

There are many things in that dossier that, if I took one look at it, I would be just swearing to God I didn't do any of that, and copping to the hookers."

London mayor says US president is wrong about many things and that state visit to Britain should not go ahead

The London mayor, Sadiq Khan, has called on the British government to cancel a planned state visit by Donald Trump after being criticised in two tweets by the US president.

Trump initially criticised Khan for his response to the London Bridge terrorist attack; though, in doing so, he misquoted London’s mayor. Khan’s office pointed out Trump’s error later but the president responded by accusing London’s mayor of making a “pathetic excuse”.

Appearing on Channel 4 News on Monday evening, Khan said Trump was wrong about “many things” and that his state visit should not go ahead.

“I don’t think we should roll out the red carpet to the president of the USA in the circumstances where his policies go against everything we stand for,” he said.
