during the twenty sixteen presidential election he also tweeted that why he fired his national security adviser for lying to the vice president and the f.b.i. mike flynn's actions were full on saturday trump was asked about flynn's decision to cooperate with the f.b.i. investigation as part of a p.t.o. plan has admitted he had lied about contacting the russian ambassador last december and said he was directed to doing so by a senior member of trump's transition team reported to be son in person this was trump's response. what i think joe. joe delusion joe killer visit absolutely is with absolutely no solution so we're very happy we'll see what happens thank you all very much. meanwhile the u.s. senate has approved one of president thomas main legislative goals the largest tax cuts in all and thirteen is the bill's cautious taxes for corporations along with

the wealthy and game small modest relief to most other american taxpayers but a senate committee has warned it will add one trillion dollars to the budget deficit tamaqua men as a sells after last minute changes to appease some holdouts the tax bill passed by the narrowest of margins the yeas are fifty one in the nays are forty nine. all republicans with one exception voted for the bill which their leader hailed as a tonic for the u.s. economy we have an opportunity now to make america more competitive and to keep jobs from being shipped offshore and provide substantial relief to the middle class but democrats called it a bonanza for multinational corporations and the ultra rich while adding more than a trillion dollars to the u.s. debt there is a trail of broken promise broken promises to working families in

a mad dash to pass this bill and the american people understand this is that misfired of continuing attacks on medicare and medicaid and social security. most economists have been skeptical that the tax cuts will generate enough growth to make up for the loss in government revenue as the republicans have promised public opinion polls show that voters largely oppose the bill based on doubt it will amount to a net gain for most households but its passage would be the biggest republican legislative achievement since donald trump became president we got no democrat help but i think that's going to cost him very big in the election because basically they voted against tax cuts and i don't think politically it's good to vote against tax cuts the senate and house which already passed its own versions of tax cuts must still agree on bridging the differences but trump said he looked forward to signing a final bill before christmas tom ackerman al-jazeera washington. yemeni

amongst the anti saudi led coalition bloc says his group's focus was always to protect yemen's internal security guard hospitals and mosques and the local machine tell every militia that your actions are suspicious and we have. nothing good from you you're not heroes you're not you are not good people when. the mosque when he attacks where you are. where you are then defending or doing anything you are nothing but a rabbit but analysts think outside pressure may have influence shift an allegiance . yemen was already struggling before the war now the u.n. calls it the largest humanitarian crisis in the world of its twenty five million people twenty million rely on humanitarian assistance i think it's very clear that

he maybe wants to put one of his family members in power or to share power with the current legitimate government so i think maybe it seems to me that they might be some collaboration between regional powers. and maybe the legitimate government to somehow overthrow the healthiest first and then have a sort of serious political talk the saudi led coalition imposed a blockade on all of yemen's ports and airports earlier last month after the who things fired a missile that may have targeted riyadh as a result seventy eight million yemenis are on the brink of famine the country is also suffering from a cholera epidemic which aid workers predict could hit one million sufferers by the end of the year now the conflict between salah supporters and who see forces could mean more hardship for the people of yemen. there. seventeen people have been killed in northeastern nigeria after chief female suicide bombers attacked. its

hack happened in the town of view borno state one of the bombers is said to have detonated her explosives at a food distribution center why a local charity injuring dozens of others with interests has more from the capital . rescue workers say out of the forty seven injured some of sustained serious injuries and there is likelihood that the death figure will rise from the seventeen that has been reported so far tuesday bombers suspected suicide bombers launched the attack at a busy market in bew and. was largely spared but not completely spared by boko haram in attacks but surrounding towns and villages have been attacked on several occasions by boko haram overall but what i'm doing not claimed responsibility for this attack officials say it bears the hallmarks or the signs of book or i'm attacks we've seen how they have increasingly over the last two or three months targeted soft places or other crowded places like places of worship markets and

even schools in the latest attacks we've seen how they have killed more than fifty people in a mosque in the town of movie in northeastern nigeria when they were gathering for early morning prayers and so far there is no claim of responsibility and one important thing to note is that over the last two months or so we haven't heard much from. claiming responsibility as one security source is telling me that it could possibly be because of the intensified military action in the north east of nigeria targeting bought up positions and hideouts in the northeast. thousands of people have rallied against the far right alternative for germany party which was elected its new leadership in hanover the empty migrant posse one almost one hundred seats in parliament in september's election. petry quit soon office and formed their own party. is gearing up to be the opposition against chancellor angela merkel's yet to be fooled and government. there will be germany's official

a threat they did there was going to be a compromise between two candidates and the first candidate you had more incident was cited for it things got tricky with the second kind of that there was a stalemate between little known opposite candidate from the far right of the party and a whole well known candidate who is from a more moderate voice in the body now this ideological split within the party has been much discussed at this party conference at stake is whether that will transform into a broader support of around seven hundred years whether it will stay at the fringes of politics and be in. douglas mentality and the there's there was a stalemate between me and alexander gallo and the head of the party would have been mr i told him you know my fifteen and all the other candidates made the journey so i will now see more ads and alexander going to the top of the party what this is of course all names and why this is important right now in german politics

is that it comes against the backdrop of anger for being unable to form a coalition if she expected a grand coalition with the social democrats then the i have to actually become the largest opposition voice in the german column and so then lead is and how far to the right they are really matter in the. german politics all that in the next few years. when the very latest on the i have to convention. still to come on al-jazeera playing with fire. that was a us against its reporter plans to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel we'll tell you about the belgian zoo which has found a new way to shine a light on the putin on the us.

speaking his position is perhaps surprising his russian allies since their intervention in the war in twenty fifteen have turned things around for assad on the battlefield. and in recent months president putin has also been in the driving seat diplomatically reaching understanding's with two countries that had led the campaign against assad turkey and saudi arabia it held an important meeting last month in riyadh in a major reorganization prominent opposition figures quit their posts as members of another group with close links to moscow and derived by some as a sad stooges were admitted to the geneva delegation there's also been an important change of emphasis by the un at previous rounds of talks special envoy stefan de mistura as main aim was a transitional government it is clear the political transition is the mother of all

ages he was working to the exact wording of his predecessor special envoy the former secretary general kofi annan who drew up the geneva communique which was signed by the international community in twenty twelve the communique which was later re indorsed by a security council resolution called for a transitional governing body agreed by mutual consent that last bit is important as the opposition has in the past said it would never consent to a sad being part of a transition what's changed is that demas stora has now drawn up a list of twelve principles that he says will guide the negotiations in the future can i also get clarification that you are still seeking to form a transitional governing body with full executive power agreed by mutual consent dear twelve. principal points when you will be reading them and you will because

of that event by and we hope to produce this if there is a dick come on and if the ending are completely constantly inspired by digging a vocal many kit and it twenty to fifty four. but special envoy for them and they don't you know i've not read them by the british version of well that's an old version wait and you would seem i waited hours after that exchange de mistura published his twelve principles. here is there any mention of a transitional governing body of former leader of the opposition and strolled out the whole process has been called western diplomats stora is changing the rules of the game but his plan is very russian flavored james zero geneva egyptian presidential hopeful hof might shafique is reported to have arrived in cairo after being arrested and deported from the united arab emirates he's been

a change in policy on wednesday but why house officials say a final decision hasn't yet been made and just type reports. the diplomatic status of jerusalem is one of the world's most contested issues israel calls the city its undivided capital and operates its government from there while palestinians claim east jerusalem which israel occupied after the one nine hundred sixty seven war as the rightful capital of their future state despite the unresolved status of the city which is important to muslims christians and jews u.s. president donald trump is reportedly considering recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel in the coming days a major potential shift in policy sharply criticized by palestinian leaders. this is a very big issue touching touching the. touching the church of the hood is playing with fire has no meaning for a palestinian state that east jerusalem as its capital recognizing jerusalem as the

capital of israel could also see the u.s. embassy moved there from tel aviv while campaigning then candidate promised to move the diplomatic mission as one of his first acts as president but in june the white house issued a waiver to meet a deadline to either comply with the nine hundred ninety five law mandating the move of the u.s. embassy to jerusalem or explain why doing so is not in u.s. national security interests signing the waiver which presidents clinton bush and obama signed every six months as a matter of course angered president trumps evangelical christian supporters and pro israel donors who are reportedly pressuring him to declare next week's waiver to be his last while others are said to have also warned moving the embassy could not only strain ties with arab allies but could lead to violence and that's the big question will he go all the way or will he leave that legal loophole open i think because he would he would go that way about what in

a way placate his you know very pro israeli facts including his vice president was very religiously. motivated by this. and also still leave open some door negotiations with the palestinians and others while it's still unclear what president trump will announce next week any decisions could complicate efforts by his administration to revive negotiations between palestinian and israeli leaders kirshner son in law and senior advisor has made several trips to the region as part of efforts to start the talks talks which look more distance than ever m.p.'s time i'll just there. and i will peace prize will be awarded. but they tell us that picking up the award is the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons or i can the groups dedicated to creating a world without nuclear weapons we're looking at the nucleus status of countries

have accused each other of violating another cornerstone agreements of the nuclear age the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty when ronald reagan and mikhail gorbachev signed their names in one thousand nine hundred seventy they outlawed all land based missiles that could strike targets between five hundred and five thousand five hundred kilometers. but russia and the u.s. both say each other's cruise missile systems such as russia's caliber class here have been given secret updates so they don't comply with the i.n.f. treaty. but he may putin says russia has only been developing air and sea based intermediate range missiles weapons which the u.s. has long held a superior advantage. we believe that we have only balanced out a situation if someone does not like it and wishes to be drawn from the treaty for example our american partners our response will be immediate i would like to repeat

this one immediate and reciprocal this nonproliferation analyst says such talks sets a dangerous precedent. nations with. nuclear arsenals. and . well it's. the way she. showed. in other words russia and the united states have a special responsibility to. spiral out of control. so as. an elephant might become an attractions and. expect to see a dragon. the holiday season festival has overtaken. or eliminated. among.
