a military victory and the political cards are being shuffled once again the tactical alliance between the who sees and supporters was fragile at best both being highly suspicious of each other's motives but united by the same desire to overthrow the had the administration former president ali abdullah saleh now says he's open to talks with the saudi that coalition if it will put an end to the fighting and the blockade while they need to lift the blockade and open the airport and allow food and medicine and the country we will open a new page for them for dialogue what is happening in yemen is an elf. this turnaround effectively puts an end to the partnership with the who sees their leader criticize the move as an attempted coup he's very charismatic in the way that he knows how to to actually go out of his way change one hundred eighty degrees and be very pragmatic in who he. goes into a coalition with and that showed that once again he if it suits him of the timing
3:07 am
is right he will do what is necessary to remain in power it's about regime security and he's very good at that the probably the who this is that they're an ideological player so they do have a clear belief system they believe in something they have an ideological objective they want to achieve and solid doesn't have that for solid it's pure about purely about interests and it's about establishing or maintaining his power base as president saleh was a close saudi ally and full several times he's also known as a man of great survival x. friends have once again too and into enemies and flows into new. living head the illegitimate president of yemen in the cold. to other news and both democrat and republican politicians are warning the u.s. president donald trump against his constant tweeting on the investigation into alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixth election on sunday trump tweeted that he never asked former f.b.i. director james comey to stop investigating former national security advisor michael

flynn blaming so-called fake news for covering lies komi of course testified in june the trump had spoken to him about leaving flingo and so in a sense pleaded guilty to lying to the f.b.i. about his contacts with russia insists he was asked to do so by a senior member of trump's transition team and then a second president troubles are launched an attack on the f.b.i. he said its reputation is in tatters and called the organization the worst in history. i see it in the hyper frenetic attitude of the white house comments every day the continual tweets. and i see it most importantly in what happened with the firing of director komi and it is my belief that that is directly because he did not agree to lift the cloud of the russian vest a geisha that's obstruction of justice more on this from dianna's to broken
3:09 am
washington d.c. well these tweets always seem to get the president in trouble and this tweet from yesterday was especially problem because up until yesterday the president claimed that he fired mike flynn back in february because he lied to vice president mike pence about these conversations with the russians now yesterday in the tweet he indicated that he actually fired him as well because of lying to the f.b.i. which raises the question what did the president know did he know that the f.b.i. was in fact investigating flynn and that is why senator dianne feinstein raised the question of obstruction of justice because a couple of days after flynt was fired the president asked former f.b.i. director james comey to go easy on him because he was a good guy now today the white house is saying that actually the president didn't fashion that tweet yesterday that that came from an attorney in the last people
3:10 am
within the president's own party are telling him to go easy on the tweeting i would just say this is for us and there's no going primal investigation call me maybe part of it you tweeting comment regarding ongoing criminal investigations at your own peril i would be careful for you mr president i've watched this and lindsey graham said that he didn't think that the f.b.i. was dysfunctional although he did raise questions as to whether flynn lying to the f.b.i. constituted a crime. residents of the hunger and capital take a single per hour preparing for more protests following that disputed presidential election. a week of violent clashes left three people dead in fighting between opposition supporters and security forces electoral commission is yet to declare a winner as of now president won a landowner and as is narrowly ahead of the opposition's candidate salvador his supporters say some of the results have been manipulated and night time curfew has

3:19 am
organization of islamic cooperation are being asked to host a meeting israel's government considers all of jerusalem its capital while the palestinians hope east jerusalem would be the capital of a future palestinian state president mahmoud abbas says warned of a new dangerous phase if the u.s. moves its embassy and recognizes jerusalem as israel's capital also u.s. president donald trump has to decide on monday whether to issue a waiver of a twenty two year old law requiring the state department to move the embassy that way vast to be renewed every six months and trump son in law white house adviser jared krishna says the president is still weighing up his options he's still looking at a lot of different facts and that when he makes his decision and he'll be the one to want to tell you not me so i hope he'll make sure he does that at the right time trump is expected to announce his decision in a speech on wednesday but already israel's communications minister says the announcement will send a clear signal to the world and. i think that the u.s.
3:20 am
president donald trump knows and understands the needs of the region and by validating jerusalem is the eternal united capital of the state of israel it's something that declared and wanted and i think by implementing it he's sending an important message. last hour we spoke to laura freedman president of the foundation for middle east peace who says moving the u.s. embassy to tel aviv will only bring negative consequences. the last time this came up six months ago it was the intervention of king abdullah of jordan that had a significant impact on president trump's decision not to move the embassy that time it's possible this time if he hears again from king abdullah who is just in washington if he hears from the saudis i don't know what he needs to hear from the palestinians the palestinians are in a weaker position in washington right now than they have been it any time since one thousand nine hundred ninety four when their mission was reopened at the start of the peace process the closure of the potential closure of their mission here now
3:21 am
hangs on them responding positively to the president's efforts to bring them back to the table which is quasi blackmail already it isn't at all clear to me what leverage they on their part have on this administration at this point powers in the region may not care that much about the palestinians but their people do and jerusalem specifically is a red line because jerusalem touches on things that are much bigger than the israeli palestinian conflict that has been the conventional wisdom for jordan this is a domestic issue jordan under its treaty with israel is the keeper of the holy sites in jerusalem so what happens there is a domestic issue for jordan for saudi which wants to play a bigger role do the saudi people care about what happens in jerusalem my personal analysis is that yes this makes a difference i don't know we'll see same with egypt the other piece of it is what happens on the ground you know the palestinians are working on reconciliation both
3:22 am
fatah and hamas are are working very hard to show that they are relevant leaders and relevant in challenging israeli policies that are anathema to palestinian interests so my understanding is that fatah and hamas are already talking about what the joint the joint response would be if the announcement on wednesday is bad on jerusalem and what that really would mean on the ground in terms of potentially a really a groundswell of opposition like we haven't seen a groundswell of demonstrations on that we haven't seen maybe in a very very long time. the former egyptian prime minister says he is still considering a presidential bid well though he says he needs to explore the option further comments on egyptian television his first appearance since arriving in cairo on saturday the former prime minister has been based in abu dhabi since losing to mohamed morsi in two thousand and twelve his family said earlier they feared he'd
