parliament confirmed as president with a close ally alongside him. a frosty welcome from him as leader in australia and in legal move to have a prosecuted over the rainbow crisis. and the war in syria escalates on two fronts as strikes in east and go to activists say turkey's military's bombed a hospital in a free. the f.b.i. is deputy director has been fired but he's fired back at the u.s. president on the way out under mccabe has been sacked for misconduct just before he would have been eligible for full retirement benefits mccabe says it's all part of what has been described as a trump administration's war on the f.b.i. he believes he's been singled out for events he witnessed after trump fired f.b.i. director james comey a don trump as head. mccabe tweeting and you became fired

a great day for the hardworking men and women of the f.b.i. a great day for democracy sanctimonious james komi was his boss and made mccabe look like a choir boy he knew all about the lies and corruption going on at the highest levels of the f.b.i. wasn't jordan has more now from washington d.c. . the firing of andrew mccabe from the f.b.i. has long been rumored here in washington but it's still a bit of a shock that it came at ten pm on a friday night two days before mccabe was supposed to retire a stance of having earned his full pension after nearly twenty two years as a special agent with the f.b.i. mccabe came under political pressure so almost as soon as donald trump became president and that's because we all he was serving as the deputy director of the f.b.i. one of mccabe's jobs was to investigate the ongoing allegations of some sort of

collusion between the russian government and donald trump's two thousand and sixteen presidential campaign the cave was also very much involved in the investigation of the establishment of a private e-mail server which hillary clinton used while she was secretary of state doing so instead of using the state department's own government website for her official communications trump felt that because mccain's wife is a democrat and received political funding from one of hillary clinton's allies that he was naturally biased against donald trump and his campaign he also felt that mccain may have been covering up for what trump believes was clinton's illegal behavior by using this private e-mail server so at the end of the day it looks at least in andrew mccabe's eyes that his firing is nothing more than political payback and in statements to

a number of media organizations on friday evening andrew mccabe says that while he and his family will be fine that he regrets that his professional reputation has been slandered and that he feels that this is a larger effort of trying to undermine the credibility of law enforcement in the united states something which andrew mccabe argues is a very dangerous develop. now the internal inquiry recommended the sacking of andrew mccabe not just for leaking to the media but for quote lacking candle when speaking to investigators but denies he was dishonest saying he was entitle to interact with the media through the public affairs office in his role as david d. director many expect he will be an important witness in the new investigation which is examining links between the campaign and russia he was in the position when trump sacked f.b.i. director james comey at the time comi was leading the f.b.i. case looking into the same issue the president single out mccain for criticism

a number of times trump claims he protected hillary clinton from prosecution called is a senior fellow at the center for american progress and a former assistant secretary of defense he says there are likely to be other senior officials dismissed or moved in the coming days. the president after having been in office a year now feels that he knows what to do and he only wants people around him who support his particular agenda and that's why you saw our secretary tell us to go i think said a charming master of the national security adviser we probably will be going assumes they can find another job for him because he is an active duty army or army officer i think that you may see some other cabinet like sessions are go because the president was not happy with the fact that he refused themselves from the best a geisha about russian involvement in the election that's the problem because you

know you from my own experience working for president reagan it's good when you hear different points of view before you make it make a decision what if you only get people who agree with you are you going to make the you know the right you know right decisions i think for example people like secretary joe wilson and secretary mabus actually you know kept from wanting to actually initiate a war with no more north korea you know by you know stressing a diplomatic. way out of it the u.s. president signed a bill paving the way for meetings with taiwan china has criticized the move if he's taiwan as a breakaway province beijing says their decision runs contrary to the one china policy which has been a cornerstone of u.s. china relations since the one nine hundred seventy s. under it all official u.s. diplomatic contact is with beijing the chinese president's closest political ally

wang chih shang has been voted in as vice president xi jinping has also been confirmed for a second term with unanimous support the national people's congress is rubber stamping a government reshuffle at its annual meeting in beijing the congress approved the removal of ten limits for the president and vice president this week scott had asthma from basic. a saturday session of the national people's congress here in beijing saw the election of some officials but more importantly two top officials the president xi jinping serving another five year term no one voted against him and want to see john now he is going to be the vice president for the next five years there was only one person who voted against him out of the nearly three thousand delegates here for the national people's congress now what's interesting about this now this is mr long first term as vice president first time ever as vice president but he is seen as a very close ally of xi jinping so the role for the vice presidency is being

elevated if you were one of the constitutional changes that have been made during this national people's congress is the term limits for president and vice president have been lifted so mr wong a close ally of xi jinping now in this role as vice president a role means that that office will have much more power than it has traditionally and we know that he's going to be focused on trade issues particularly with the united states and friction that's been increasing with them so he's going to front that in the past he worked on anti-corruption which was a very important if not the most important initiative that she jinping wanted done in his first five year term now moving forward he'll also mr wong the vice president focus on other foreign policy issues which there are many outside of the united states and trade friction there's also north korea that's something that's very important to the xi jinping administrations and moving forward to his term officially starts on saturday and he will start to really crack down almost immediately because there's also some things going on in washington right now about a deal with an act that was passed with taiwan obviously that's an issue that

beijing is very sensitive about so right out of the gate mr wong is going to have to deal with some pretty sensitive issues just as he starts his first five year term. north korea's foreign ministers met sweden's prime minister during a visit to stockholm. is there to discuss security on the korean peninsula but his visit has fueled speculation that sweden may host a meeting between the u.s. and north korean leaders donald trump accepted kim jong un's invitation plans to meet him made the swedish foreign minister says she hopes the country's relationship with the north korean government can be put to good use illegal application has been filed in australia against me and lead cheese in sydney as part of a special asin summit of southeast asian leaders lawyers there are tending to prosecute her while she's in the country on charges of crimes against humanity in relation to the treatment of me and. been protests against suchi in sydney
