Trump: Syrian massacre 'terrible affront to humanity'

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that it is now his responsibility to resolve the humanitarian and political crisis in Syria as he opened the door to military action in the country to remove Bashar al-Assad from power. Trump upped the ante in a Rose Garden press conference after having said earlier in the day that the the chemical weapons attack is a 'terrible affront to humanity.' 'My attitude towards Syria and Assad has changed,' Trump declared, suggesting with the statement that he may be reconsidering his administration's stance on allowing the Syrian dictator to stay in power. Trump said during a photo op with the Jordanian king and the two leaders' wives in the Oval Office Wednesday afternoon that the massacre was, 'Horrible. Horrible thing. Unspeakable,' 'But I want to thank you both very much for being at the White House and we're going to have some interesting discussions,' Trump told King Abdullah II. The White House has not said how it plans to respond to the Tuesday assault it said it was certain that Syria's dictator carried out. Trump told a reporter asking about action in the Oval, 'You'll see.'

Steve Bannon removed from National Security Council cmte

President Donald Trump's chief strategist Steve Bannon has been removed from the National Security Council, according to an administration filing. Trump elevated Bannon to the council at the start of his presidency, causing controversy. An administration official said the move was to 'de-operationalize' Gen.

Energy Secretary Rick Perry is now a member of the principals committee - the top echelon of the council.

The president raised the possibility that former national security advisor Susan Rice committed a crime by asking intel agencies to reveal the names of his associates on spy intercepts.

Rice wasn't the only Obama official to request the 'unmasking' of Trump transition team members - and her successor Mike Flynn was just one of at least two who were left exposed.

While giving a White House press conference on ex-National Security Advisor Susan Rice, Trump mentioned O'Reilly (both pictured in 2009), saying: 'I think he's a person I know well - he is a good person.'

Haunting portraits show women at Bedlam Hospital in London

Haunting photographs show some of the women who attended the infamous Bethlem Royal Hospital where patients were 'treated' by being spun round in a chair.
