present donald trump sacks secretary of state rex tillerson after months of strained relations he'll be replaced by cia chief mike pump. russia remains defiant as a u.k. ultimatum over the poisoning of a former spy expires soon also this hour the palestinian authority blames rival group hamas for an attack on prime minister convoy in gaza process no clear winner in sierra leone's presidential election a runoff will be held in two weeks. thank you for joining us this been a turbulent fourteen months in power for us president donald trump and tuesday was no different following the surprise sacking of his top diplomat no one was more taken aback by the news than secretary of state rex tillerson in south. only found

out via twitter one of his top aides released a statement saying tell us and was unaware of why he was fired that official was latest sacked as well as trump insists policy differences are to blame the two had clashed over a number of issues including the iran deal and the brocade of kata status and will be replaced by cia director michael impale he promises a more aggressive stance on north korea and iran says they're on the same wavelength gina hospital is set to become the first ever female director of the cia but she could face a tough confirmation hearing in the senate given past allegations she oversaw the torture of detainees will get more on that in just a moment but first roslyn jordan looks back at the friction between tennyson and tom. it's not every day you lose your job to be a social media but an emotional rex tillerson deliberately ignored that detail when he addressed reporters on tuesday received a call today from rosie and i had stage

a little after noon time from air force one my commission as secretary of state would terminate at midnight or six thirty first tillerson served as u.s. secretary of state for a little more than a year he spent much of that time pushing back against reports that the president donald trump wanted to fire him on tuesday morning on twitter trump did just that. my palm pale will become our new secretary of state thank you to rex tillerson for his service trump then told reporters this we disagreed on what you look at the iran deal i think it's terrible i guess it was ok i want to use a regular something he felt a little bit differently so we were not really thinking the same looking back it's clear trump and tillerson disagreed on the big problems of the day whether or not to engage directly with north korea how far to hold russia accountable brits meddling in u.s. political and civic affairs something tillerson made

a point of stressing the u.s. must do ultimately former u.s. diplomats say taylor since firing is no surprise and neither is the choice of his replacement the cia director mike pompei oh he's well known for his support of trumps policy trump is impulsive and trump is temperamental trump wants once a neighbors and validators more than he wants advisors tillerson didn't have many fans at state because of his plans to cut staffing by nearly thirty percent some senior diplomats quit in protest but the firings at state didn't end there at lunchtime the white house dismissed steve goldstein after he released this statement suggesting tillerson thought his job was safe the secretary did not speak to the president this morning and is unaware of the reason for his dismissal in any case tillerson said he had no regrets rex tillerson didn't lose his job because he

didn't agree with the president analysts say he lost his job because he refused to pretend that he agreed if confirmed my pump ale will face a very high standard of agreeing with the president all the time especially because the president believes he already does rosalynn jordan al-jazeera the state department. on as sick a close look at the new u.s. secretary of state michael impale before joining politics he founded and headed companies in the aerospace and oil sectors the fifty three year old had served three terms in congress when trump appointed him to head the cia considered a republican hard line up and pale as an outspoken critic of former president obama's landmark nuclear deal with iran he also defended the national security agency's bulk data collection program and described whistleblower edward snowden as a trader from pale has said that while there was russian meddling it did not affect the outcome of the twenty six thousand election that contradicts findings were

reported by american intelligence agencies let's bring in al-jazeera as john hendren in washington john so much to cover with this story tell us first about the reactions at the state department and beyond to rexton a sense fiery as rightfully it's complicated you heard in ross's story that children wasn't beloved in the state department he didn't come from their ranks and he was supporting a thirty percent cut in their budget one not accepted by congress in the end and people were very upset with him about that and this comes at a time when intelligence agencies in the pentagon are getting more funding and the state seem to have been the state department seems to have been diminished so while people at state were protective of the role of diplomacy here i don't think there is a lot of love lost among many of them for tillerson who is now leaving so. a very complicated exit is for the secretary what is being say about the specific timing john of this

firing and what may have motivated it. well tillerson didn't know that he was going to be fired today when he woke up this morning but he certainly knew that he had trouble with donald trump months ago tillers and tweeted tillerson said that he was opening the lines of communication with north korea trump didn't discuss it with him he tweeted rex tillerson you're wasting your time talking to little rocket man and then of course last week when trump himself reversed his position and decided that he wouldn't go see it directly with north korea tillerson was totally out of the loop didn't even hear about it until afterwards so. there was there was a complicated relationship there they didn't agree on policy on a lot of things when it came to the goals dispute the paris climate accords iran russia trump until or so and were on different sides of each of those debates but the relationship probably fell apart when tillerson called the president reportedly

a moron and the president has taken to calling tillerson arrogant so what happens next then i mean tell us and stays on until the end of march how does a process where a casa until the new secretary of state is actually really in charge. tillerson outlined some of that in his state department briefing today he said that he would remain in charge through the end of the day and then he would transfer his authority over to his deputy jones so levin but tillerson that he'd remain in office until march thirty first and then after that the new secretary pompeo could come in on an acting basis though he would have to be confirmed by the u.s. senate so it can be a fairly quick and fluid process but it's not one in which he would be going away today he's going to stay there through the end of the month and say farewell and he says take care of some administrative duties thank you for that john hendren one for us in washington well the white house has seen

a high turnover of senior staff just over a year into the presidency they have been at least twenty high profile departures the latest being to listen in chief economic advisor gary cohen just days after acting attorney general sally yates was sacked for refusing to defend a proposed travel ban on people from six muslim majority countries and within the first month national security advisor michael flynn resigned amid allegations he misled officials including the vice president about his ties with russia often ridiculed white house press secretary sean spicer resigned in july and trump's chief of staff in spray this was pushed out eight days later following months of infighting in the west wing yet another senior departure came a month later when chief strategist steve bannon left has since become a source of information for the controversial book fine fury that exposed the in a way kings of the trumpet ministration and earlier this year rob porter resigned as white house staff secretary amid allegations of domestic violence he maintained

the president's diary when i speak to joel rubin about this he's a former deputy assistant secretary of state and president of the washington strategy group he is live from washington thank you so much for being on al-jazeera this latest. departure is the highest to date certainly from the trumpet minute session and this one was not voluntary does it matter at all that this revolving door that we've seen in the white house in the year more than a year that president trump has been in office. well it's great to be with you and it does matter this is the chaos presidency right now this is an administration that seems to be in freefall in terms of its staffing it can't get its team straight and ultimately this means that the american people should be concerned about what direction we have in today's issue what's the reaction we have on national security because the president by changing his team shifting them around

moving new people into suits apartment in this case with my pump he's really demonstrating that he doesn't have a cohesive or coherent national security policy at the rumblings about tennis and had been going on for months now what is it that donald trump over the as you think why do you think if i to listen now especially at a time when there was a lot of head weight seems on on some very important foreign policy issues like north korea what we're seeing a confluence of a variety of pressure points coming together right now there is the domestic scandals that the president is dealing with related to the russia investigation now that the stormy daniels tapes today there's a election in pennsylvania that's essentially a bellwether on the presidency and on the president's popularity and then on foreign policy issues like the north korea diplomacy where rex tillerson would have been expected to have been center stage that clearly may have been the tipping

point for the president does not trust tillerson obviously needs in one him to be there as the lead diplomat in that negotiate a tele said was was never really seen as a reputable credible voice on donald trump do you think we're going to have one voice now when it comes to american foreign policy with micron pale at the helm at the state department. well i certainly hope so now there's an external and internal though that we have to be aware of externally it's crucial for the united states to have one voice the president and secretary of defense they need to be on the same team communicating the same vision that's essential for maintaining our alliances and confronting our adversaries but internally and this is where i'm concerned internally it's crucial to have different voices and different opinions and debates and secretary tillerson for all his faults did debate on the core issues that the president was thinking about including the iran deal which you mentioned in your clip earlier if we lose debates internally in the white house it's going to be hard

in terms of getting their best decisions for our national security some people in the last few hours joel rubin have described my campaign with a yes man in terms of global policy are they areas of risk in having. a dual who are on the same page i'm thinking of the middle east here for instance i mean what's the risk of having the president and secretary of state on the same wavelength when it comes to some of these crucial issues here. if there really is a risk here it's not a problem this is sarah lee if the secretary of state in this case shares the vision with president trump that's a good thing but in recent years we have had a large figures at the state department who have been able to stand up to the president think of john kerry who was a major figure in the senate and ran for president congolese the rice who was the national security advisor to president bush colin powell a national hero hillary clinton obviously a mega star you have these kinds of big personalities that can go to the president

say sir diplomatically this decision will impact our standing in the world in such a way now with pompei oh he is not that type of a large figure he likely will not tell president trump the real difficult decisions that and difficult impacts that his decisions will have on the u.s. and that could be harmful thank you so much for speaking to us and sharing your views joel rubin former deputy assistant secretary of state joining us there from washington thank you for your time well let's get more now on the woman who is set to take over the cia. she's a controversial choice having faced criticism for overseeing a secret prison in thailand where detainees were tortured political gain has more from washington. gina has spent most of her career at the cia undercover so there isn't much video of her but as she prepares to try and take the top job we're going to see a lot more of her and hear much more about her past she was in charge of the facility

in thailand codenamed detention site green the senate has detailed what happened to captors there like abu zubaida he was water boarded eighty three times beaten by having his head slammed into a wall deprived of sleep for days he was kept in a coffin sized box possibly with insects for more than eleven days and held in a small box less than a meter tall for twenty nine hours the report also says that. he was held and tortured at the same site according to reports she was clearly in charge according to one cia cable quote only the detention site green chief of base would be allowed to interrupt or stop an interrogation in process and that the chief of base would be the final decision making authority as to whether the cia's interrogation techniques applied to zubeida would be discontinued. zubaida had to be revived once after waterboarding torture didn't stop human rights groups are outraged by her nomination the idea that she would be put in charge of the cia should send.

trimmers terrorists are most people who care about international law this is a woman who was complicit directly in the torture of two duties in thailand and then through the chief of staff of the counterterrorism center back largent and as they rendered dozens and dozens of other detainees some of them merely innocent people who were swept up shall have to answer for more than that there were videos of some of that torture has reportedly signed the directive to have them destroyed all of this will be a big debate when she comes before the senate to try and get confirms democrats will be under pressure not to vote for her and if that's the case you can only afford to lose one republican vote and still get the job still president donald trump is sending a message with this nomination just like he said on the campaign trail he's fine with torture and also apparently fine with promoting those involved with it patty

call him al-jazeera washington and i speak to glenn kahn about this he's a former cia intelligence officer and former deputy national intelligence officer sky from wessler in british columbia thank you so much for being with us just how tough is jan haskell's the confirmation hearing going to be how much will her past come back to haunt her you think. well i think that it will the republicans have a majority so theoretically her passage should confirmation should be a straight one straightforward path but she does have this checkered past and by appointing her trump has sent as your report actually pointed out a clear message that america is frankly repudiating and actively. taking a stand to undermined the geneva conventions the convention against torture the american constitution which outlaws cruel and unusual punishments torture uniform code of military justice in american history all to make the point that being tough

as trump imagines it is the right thing to do is a terrible idea terrible what with the extent of her involvement in the cia interrogation program. well she was very senior enough no one person of courses in a government agency is the center responsible for everything but she was the deputy to jose rodriguez the head of the counter terrorism center and to mike de andrea who was the chief of operations at the time that the rendition detention and has interrogation programs were put in place designed and executed and as you reported she was in charge of the black site when one of the black sites where these torture methods were used so whatever misgiving she may have had as she was involved now many were who are good people but even if that is the case for the government to put someone in position who was involved in these things sends

a message that it's ok with nice this government which slides america down you know path towards the totalitarianism of air to want turkey on the way to becoming a banana republic like nicaragua she sees out several leadership positions when the agency as you say wants her reputation like within the intelligence community and how much support will she have. well she's considered a an excellent professional officer. in i believe that is true i've worked with her associates she and i have not worked together but her reputation is a very strong one as is a talented competent professional i will add however that she also subscribes to what was the counterterrorism center is or has been the counterterrorism centers in the cia which which takes the lead in congress terrorism work their concept of conception of the threat of jihad as terrorism which really means that the approaches we can destroy specific groups and thereby destroy the issue of jihad

which of course is far too reductionist and contributes itself to the problems that everyone is facing with with terrorism so that is an unfortunate conceptual perspective that she. was important in in developing and implement can call thank you so much for your insights thank you for joining us on aaj is there anything. plenty more ahead on this news hour including the u.s. president takes a first hand look at what is his proposed border wall with mexico and what it might look like and severe reached the quarterfinals of the champions league at the expense of manchester united joe we'll have the details coming up later and. russia has ramped up its rhetoric against the u.k.

warning britain not to threaten a nuclear power prime minister theresa may has given russia till the end of tuesday to explain how a soviet era nerve agent was used in an attack against a former spy in the u.k. . are in critical condition in a hospital but so far moscow has refused to cooperate with the investigation bobbie phillips reports. is this the lol before the storm the british government says it's looking at ways of responding to what it believes is not rageous act by russia this is part of a pack of behavior by the putin regime and you'll seeing this reckless support for the use of chemical weapons all the way from syria to the streets. in our country. being encouraged by the determination about friends to stand with us except that friends aren't so predictable these days the american president shortly off to sacking

a secretary of state who was highly regarded by the british government says it sounds to him as if russia was involved in the nerve agent attack but in moscow the russian foreign minister said britain was being obstructive refusing to give russia samples of the nerve agent so that it could carry out its own investigation. russia is not guilty but russia is ready to cooperate in the framework of the chemical weapons convention only the united kingdom takes pains to fulfill their legal obligations and cling to the same document. london's luxury properties luxury shops could britain target russians who spend money here an anti corruption group estimates more than a billion dollars of suspicious russian wealth is invested in u.k. property well it's certainly the case that some of the individuals that we've identified in this research well known to the kremlin so if they were to find themselves subjected to police investigations by unexplained well food as for

example then that would send a very clear message to the kremlin the corrupt individuals and their illicit cash no longer welcome here british politicians want to send a message to russia that they won't tolerate what they see as a brazen attack on british soil but they also hope to cooperate with russia on issues like containing iran and north korea's nuclear ambitions in other words russia's international significance presents britain with a diplomatic dilemma britain says it's ready to act but if this crisis escalates western unity could come under great strain to be phillips al-jazeera london. and british counterterrorism police are investigating the death of a high profile russian businessmen. was found dead in his london home on tuesday he had been granted political asylum in the u.k. and was a close ally of late all agog bears off ski a prominent critic of president i may put in police say there is no evidence to

towards putting an end to this division. to come to. that but that division between the palestinian authority dominated by fatah and its political rival hamas in gaza was once again on full display the palestinian president's office accused hamas of responsibility for the attack given its continued control of security in the strip house condemned both the explosion and the p.a.'s accusation. these three written accusations can only achieve the goals of the criminals that targeted the convoy of. the main suspect who wants to destroy the palestinian clans is the occupation. but some analysts suggest salafist groups aiming to cause political chaos were behind the attack on the crater itself shows you just what a sizable device this was the immediate impact obviously substantial the question now is how far the shock waves of what happened here will carry over into the

political process between fatah and hamas. reconciliation efforts have been stalled for months since hamas dissolved its administration last year so far there's been no full resumption of p.a. control in gaza with talks foundering on issues such as jobs for tens of thousands of hamas members and control of its military wings weapons we are living in by a lawyer in between that it was a bit of hamas or that defacto government and the new government that's not walk enough to. have it said is possible to get out the palestinian prime minister arrived back in ramallah in the occupied west bank his spokesman accusing hamas leaders of declining an invitation to meet for gaza's people desperate for some kind of government to address a worsening humanitarian and now security situation the wait goes on very force it gaza syrians presidential election is heading to

was fired from media so far unfulfilled promise to roll back the nuclear deal with iran which is allowed an easing of sanctions the brewing cold war in the persian gulf between arab nations would have been a test for any career diplomat to listen let state department found itself scaling back comments in the times contradicting their own president when members of the gulf cooperation council decided to isolate qatar we saw in the beginning of the cut of a siege by the four countries last june that the initial statements that trump made were later dropped quietly reversed because he didn't know all the facts about u.s. relations. and the region it's clear that the united states seems to want to resolve the g.c.c. crisis i think there's no doubt about that it's also clear that they haven't been able to use their influence to get that done with the kuwaitis so this is very strange in many ways in recent weeks more details have emerged on how a concerted effort was being made from the middle east to get rid of rex tillerson

the u.n. and the red crescent where their new batches of sick people will follow for treatment outside. the agreement to get injured people lie to has been around for a little while the fact that the process is actually started will give encouragement to the united nations who obviously like to see the numbers increase in the coming days the fighting continues around the young cleve which is no been split in three by syrian government forces backed by the russians. it may not be as fierce as recent days but that's little consolation to those still trapped in sight . alan fischer al jazeera on the turkey syria border refugees who escaped the civil war in south sudan six months ago are beginning to return to their homes more than four thousand four hundred thousand people sought safety by fleeing east across the border into but as him and morgan reports from the border town of many are coming home to find their communities destroyed. mary
