and the similarities of cultures across the world so no matter how you take it al-jazeera will bring you the news and current affairs that matter to you al jazeera. zero. hello i'm barbara sarah and this is the al-jazeera news hour live from london thank you for joining us coming up in the next sixty minutes for you that's enough put down the mike you. are rattled president trump clashes with the media after the democrats win control of the house of representatives. he then forces attorney general jeff sessions to resign a move that democrats have branded

a gross abuse of power. seven hundred school students kidnapped in cameroon are freed but their principal and the teacher are still missing and the bare facts the grisly reality naturalists say lies behind that video. with the sport a street racing how to formula one extends its calendar to include a very nice girl. the u.s. attorney general jeff sessions has been forced to resign from his position at the request of president trump it comes just hours after the final results of the mid-term elections were announced the relationship between donald trump and jeff sessions soured almost as soon as sessions took office the president had criticized him relentlessly for recusing himself from the investigation into russia's role in

the two thousand and sixteen election i've been rumors of his imminent resignation for two years now. i find the timing very suspect number one but number two number the our paramount view is that any attorney general whether this one or another one should not be able to interfere with the moller investigation in any way they should not be able to end it they should not be able to limit it they should not be able to interfere with mahler going forward and doing what he thinks is the right thing and that will help guide us as we go through this process well sessions' resignation came shortly after a long and fractious press conference on the midterms in which donald trump sparred with several reporters he became particularly angry when challenged by a c.n.n. correspondent. mr president. should be ashamed of itself

having you working for them you are a rude terrible person you shouldn't be working for c.n.n. . i think that's on there are very rude person the way you treat sarah huckabee is horrible and the way you treat other people are horrible you shouldn't treat people that way in going to peter going in gyms defense i traveled with him and watched him he's a diligent reporter i'm going to be better than yours either so i understand to be honest i've. got more now from our white house correspondent kimberly how can we can believe that seven looks like quite a press conference that you were there so i'm deaf again to ask you about that in little later let's start with jeff sessions though the attorney general resigned really fired by donald trump what does it all mean. wow we're just still trying to make sense of the last few hours here at the white house because they have been unusual to say the least that press conference you saw there wild unwieldy in that press conference the president was asked directly about the

direction of his cabinet moving forward specifically whether or not his embattled attorney general jeff sessions if he would remain in the cabinet the president say you'd rather not out answer that at this time and that he was happy with quote most of his cabinet it was shortly there after the president tweeted that his attorney general was gone. attorney general jeff sessions was an early and enthusiastic supporter of donald trump's bid for the white house. now when that did succeeded president trump appointed his loyal supporter attorney general. but in his confirmation hearings sessions failed to tell the whole truth about a campaign error meeting he had with russian ambassador surrogate his lack session stunned washington with the statement in march of two thousand and seventeen and that is to ease myself from any. investigations even.

if they break the united states sessions move enraged trump who saw it as enabling the probe into whether his campaign colluded with the kremlin to win in two thousand and sixteen trump publicly taunted and denigrated his attorney general often in june he tweeted the russian which on hoax continues all because jeff sessions didn't tell me he was going to recuse himself i would have quickly picked someone else of course sessions' had no idea he would recuse himself when trump offered him the job but once he did he couldn't interfere in the russian probe or fire special counsel robert mueller who reports to deputy attorney general rod rosenstein numerous reports indicate trump repeatedly considered firing sessions only to be talked out of it by his advisors but he continued to vent his ire. and then he said i'm going to recuse myself i said what kind of

a man is this session's refused to quit and fired back a trumpet a statement saying while i'm attorney general the actions of the department of justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations. when not battling his boss in the white house sessions formally a hard line judge an alabama senator was implementing draconian law and order policies most notably the so-called zero tolerance policy on migrants and asylum seekers that resulted in thousands of children and babies being separated from their parents if you are some are doing a child then we will prosecute you and that child may be separated from you as required by law. in the end sessions loss of support among former republican senate colleagues signaled the death knell for his attorney general ship whether his departure will signal an end to the russia probe or be seen as another effort by trump to darrelle the investigation remains to be seen. al-jazeera washington.

and let's go back to cambridge the halkett who's outside the white house for us obviously a massive the fellowmen there with the firing of jeff sessions and all of this after a news conference that we were talking about a little bit earlier where the president's social media looked a little rattled i mean he's been known to make quite strong comments to journalists during news conferences but i don't remember seeing anything quite like this. there's no question about it the press conference was certainly unusual to say the least and he was the president was asked directly about the russia probe that is being conducted by the special counsel robert muller and the president again once again said you know that there's nothing to hide he has nothing to hide that it's all a hoax we should point out though that many look at this firing of jeff sessions and the fact that he has replaced his attorney general not with the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein but instead with

a trump loyalist matthew would occur who we know what sort of penned an op ed saying that there's a belief that he has a belief that this probe this russian probe is going too far certainly has the appearances at least that the president is attempting to shut this down this is something the president has denied in this press conference and he was also asked about other staff changes potentially even who he might be running with for reelection in terms of his running mate in two thousand and twenty do you want to lock down your ticket right now it's or will the vice president be your running mate in twenty twenty well i haven't asked him but i hope so were you mike will you be my running mate. stand up might please raise your right here. with you thank you ok good answers yes ok yes. that was unexpected but i feel very. so we see an almost i don't know he almost seems a bold and the doesn't he can believe but is that what he is after the results of

of the midterms or is it a weakened the president. in some respects it's both given the fact that the house of representatives that the democrats now control is empowered to conduct investigations to conduct oversight something that they argue has been missing for the last two years and there has been no check on the truck present in the presidency in their view given the fact that it was a republican the white house republican in the senate republican up until now controlling the house of representatives so there is that one aspect of it but at the same time republican strength has grown in terms of the majority in the senate which is often the target it is the more powerful body it's interesting in all of this that the president started off his press conference almost extending all of branch saying that i want to work with you i want to end gridlock and have there be a bipartisan nature in washington but he also then went on to threaten democrats essentially making the point that if you go for these investigations well i can

weaponize the senate and go after you as my political opponents so it was hardly conciliatory in nature and certainly it seems to set the tone moving forward of what this presidency will look like for the remaining two years combative might be an understatement we should note in all of this the news that has become of the press conference there were also two other news headlines that we should mention one the president did talk about his next meeting with north korean leader kim jong un saying in fact that he believes that meeting could take place early next year also on the case of the missing journalist show she of course we now know the murder journalist kim a high shows the president saying that we should have a better understanding about that case that he's formulating his opinion and we should hear about next steps from this white house as it works with congress in the coming week can really help with the latest from the white house can believe thank

you. let's take a look now at the mid-term results so far the democrats have won back control of the house of representatives with two hundred and twenty two seats to the republicans one hundred ninety six this enables the democrats to block legislation and launch investigations into trump and even start impeachment proceedings against him but as expected the republicans did retain the senate which is responsible for confirming judges cabinet members and ambassadors they now have fifty one of the seats while the democrats have forty five just thirty five of the one hundred seats in the senate were up for grabs most of them in republican strongholds and in the governor races republicans have had strong results so far picking up sixteen of the thirty three thirty six for the contests the democrats won thirteen races while the u.s. house democratic leader nancy pelosi says them across must stand their ground but

also seek compromise with president trump american people have put want to put an end to unchecked g.o.p. controlled of washington we story again the checks and balances envisioned by our founders that's a responsibility we have we take that oath to protect and defend the constitution and we as democrats are here to strengthen the institution in which we serve and not to have it be a rubber stamp for president trump well john the finger is a former communications director for the democratic national committee joins us live now from washington d.c. sir thank you for joining us here on al-jazeera do you agree with what nancy pelosi or we just heard her say that i guess there is scope for some kind of cooperation between the two groups. there could be i think we are in a brand new day right now and the whole chaos and rhythm of washington that we've seen over the last couple of years now is all in question in new rules now that we

have the democrats in charge of a full well not a full press or cover for it but half of a branch of government of the house of representatives with nancy pelosi a very experienced capable hand at the helm there are now you know actually the best way explain this is this one phrase that we heard over and over again over the last couple years at least here in washington was no bottom the idea that there there was no net there was no constraint whatsoever to what this administration might do might try and do and now there is now that we have checks and balances again in the united states of america and so it's possible that in response that you might see president trump bust out his old dealmaking new york real estate self and say look the we've got a new sheriff in town or at least another sheriff in town who are going to deal with and try and do some different things so i think that remains to be seen as it is the battle lines have been drawn pretty starkly so i am not holding my breath

for comedy suddenly to break out in washington but definitely you can expect some different dynamics than we've been seeing certainly well speaking of those that i makes it also i guess looking forward to the election in twenty twenty what lessons do you think that them across could and you should learn about i guess the victories that they've seen in the midterms but also some of the failure is because they didn't win obviously as much as they were hoping. yeah there were some high profile disappointments last night i think that's part of why you didn't have a clear signal being sent why president tom could get away with today standing up for the press corps and sort of pretending that this was great because it was i think it's like a near complete victory which is very far from the truth but you had but o'rourke say why in texas you had stacy abrams statewide in georgia and you had statewide in florida all of whom charismatic progressive candidates who seem to have fallen although there's some dispute in a couple of those races

a little bit short of of the brass ring in this case and so i think that will stay with democrats as they begin to think about what is it that they want in a twenty twenty competitor none of the people running against donald trump i think running against donald trump is a whole other undertaking very unusual unique to american politics or unique in american politics and and so i think it's going to be about particular personalities as much is going to be about policies and right or left within the democratic coalition and yet that is exactly what some people would say that them across are a bit short of any really distinctive personalities that could counter trump one way or another i mean would you have the money on before the selection and who do you think might still be that person for twenty twenty. well in my business which is actually coaching with kids working with kids directly i don't know i actually see quite a few talented democrats in the field i don't see anybody as fresh faced and new

and talented as camila harris the relatively new senator now from california she's got some great political skills but joe biden has some great political skills too and elizabeth warren has a fantastic back story notwithstanding this whole dustup with trump and more recently so there are some very good candidates who i think are going to be addition ng for the democratic for the democratic faithful to say this is the way i'm going to take on trump it's not just who i am as relating to the public but it's got to be somebody who can relate to trump who can deal back and forth direct mano a mano if you will with trump himself to be able to be able to make their way in a in a twenty twenty race john f. and your former communications director for the democratic national committee sir thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. thanks so much. and coming up in this

a comeback is a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera the u.s. attorney general jeff sessions has resigned his position at the request of president trump just one day after the midterm elections. at a long and fractious press conference trump has hailed the republican's performance in the midterms as history defying success against the odds. by the democratic party taking back control of the u.s. house of representatives the victory allows the party to investigate president donald trump more thoroughly. let's talk more now about the forced resignation of jeff sessions with bruce fein who is a former us associate deputy attorney general is also the author of constitutional peril the life and death struggle of our constitution and the marquess he joins us

live now from washington d.c. sir thank you so much for joining us here on out jazeera first of all the obvious question what's your reaction to jeff sessions resignation but really firing. i think it shows that mr trump believes he's in increasing peril he acted very hastily he said he was going to revamp this cabinet but he took sessions out first he hadn't changed any other major staff personnel and what we do know is in very recently mr muller has been subpoenaing close associates of roger stone who is a lifelong friend of mr trump about his relationship with wiki leaks and knowing in advance that the disclosure of the triple c. e-mails concerning mr podesta would be disclosed mr trump now knows that he's not going to have the house of representatives to defend him from oversight hearings including the intelligence committee and judiciary committee who would be probably

friendly receptacles to anything that mr moeller sent them that was incriminating with mr trump and that's why i believe he acted with such haste here is the first step by i believe to an attack on mr mohler so how do you think that that attack would unfold because of course road rosenstein the deputy attorney general is technically in charge of the military investigation but one thing that's interesting is that of course the republicans have retained control of the senate which would play a key part in actually confirming the future attorney general do you think that that plays any part in it. i am not certain that that that is a critical role here the house is really the one that would initiate impeachment it's true that the senate would have to confirm a permanent replacement but we need to remember that the acting attorney general now is not someone who's gone through senate confirmation doesn't have any independent status it's really just a factotum of mr trump it doesn't really give him much standing. then acting

at the behest of the president to try to curtail mr muller's investigation but i do think this signals the beginning of a true clash if you will that's going to put the presidency on the line i believe that mr muller is moving closer to a subpoena which mr trump that would frighten mr trump ease incapable of telling the truth under oath and he feels he's got to strike now because he sees the perils now is increased especially because i have no doubt and i know mr roger stone is somebody who probably went to the president said listen all my aides are being subpoenaed i'm going in jeopardy now because my association with wiki leaks and julian is songe there may be something there you've got to shut this down and with that urging of mr stone i believe this prompted this very very swift action i suppose of one of the things that we can see out of the results of the midterms is

how divided the united states remains and arguably is getting even more so i mean a lot of that how important do you think the military investigation is and for it to come to some kind of conclusion on just the political system but really to the united states itself. well i do think however despite the disunity that you've described the united states people remain united under the rule of law i remember that with regard to mr nixon and i live day and night through that particular impeachment mr nixon one of the biggest a landslide ever in one thousand nine hundred seventy two forty nine out of fifty states and yet he was resigned because under a cloud of impeachment within eighteen months because he was defying the rule of law he said if the president does that it's not illegal and so i do think that despite the division if it's shown that mr trump has violated the law he's flouting

subpoenas and compulsion to testify as mr nixon was trying to do i think it would be a unifying moment it doesn't mean that we wouldn't have divisions on other issues but i do not think that when it comes to the integrity of the white house that the american people would permit somebody who is flouted the law to remain so are you hopeful that the mother investigation will actually run its course. yes i think i believe that that is going to happen we still have a country that believes that what distinguishes us from all others is that we have no one even the president of the united states who's above the law. bruce fein former u.s. associate deputy attorney general sir thank you so much it's really valuable to get your views on this thank you. let's get more now on the midterm results and american voters have chosen a much more diverse group of leaders to represent them including more women twenty

nine year old alexandra cortez has become the youngest woman ever elected to the house of representatives after winning her race for the house in new york michigan's rashida and minnesota's omar both democrats have become the first muslim american women ever voted into congress and the first native american women have won their respective seats for the house deborah howland and sure reese they vids were elected to office in new mexico and kansas but in georgia stacey abrams looks like she's being defeated by her republican rival brian can victory would make abrams the united states first ever black woman governor. that speak now to nina burley she's a political journalist based in the states and the author of the golden handcuffs the secret history of trump women thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera well a lot of people have predicted this is going to be the election of women women turning out women being elected what do you make of the results are you satisfied

are you happy. i you know my i think that the there is a direct line between the election of donald trump on november twenty sixth scene and the what happened in the midterms last night with this influx of there were historic number of women as you mentioned very diverse women young women i think that you know on the election night in two thousand and sixteen the first kind of primary wound to the body politic of the united states was the sense among women that they had been kicked in the face by this selection that you know this man was elected after the billy bush tapes which i probably don't need to explain to your listeners he had really run a very massaging as to campaign against the first woman running for president of the united states and that sense of injury you know in the women's march you

know millions of women million women showed up when it marched all over that sense of energy injury was pretty quickly forgotten because of the things that came afterwards so you know the nazis coming out of the woodwork and the racism and the massive chaos that was around the white house and the attacks on the agencies and now the investigation into you know the the ongoing investigation into collusion and financial crimes and all of that was forgotten it's sort of been under its bubbling along and yet that is what was behind the midterms that was the success of the midterms they the people were focused on it there were women running there were women working behind the scenes women of all ages all races so i regard it as a real success i think that it's a success even if you're not a feminist because it represents the success of democracy in our country the health of democracy and the fact that we now are looking at a house of representatives that is very diverse and looks

a lot more like our heterogeneous nation yes i mean. it is definitely a success i guess for equality and for diversity as you mention what actual impact do you think it's going to have on legislation do women tend to vote differently on certain issues or is that just something you know it's good for representation but ultimately it probably won't make much of a difference that the senate democrats are running the house otherwise you would see what you were just previously about the firing of sessions and and the going after moeller because they have to do that now in order to head off what's going to happen in the house so it makes a gigantic political difference that the democrats have taken the house and as far as your question about to women vote differently well these are democratic women so they're certainly going to vote differently than the white tea party males who were who they've replaced they're certainly coming from a different point on the political spectrum do women vote differently i think that

women there are there is research that says women. are legislate differently they they run businesses differently they they work in groups differently than men do they and they tend to be more compromised minded but again i'm not sure how valid that all is that these that these are studies that have been out there that's not what we're looking at here we're just looking at the fact that the american. americas now got a house of representatives that is much more diverse than it was. yesterday it was very interesting watching the news conference today as sort of quite embattled perhaps president trump also defending it asaram huckabee sanders who's is a spokesperson very loyal woman to him of course if i can trump his daughter always very loyal to him kellyanne conway his wife melania trump it's quite interesting to see that actually he does surround himself by women who seem to be loyal to him but

then sometimes keep a low profile when he does and says things that are pretty on excuse simply sexist . that's true you know i've just finished this book published two weeks ago called golden handcuffs the secret history of trump's women and it's about his the influences in his intimate family life of women in his life because you know this is a man who was has had three wives he has promoted his daughter he promotes her all the time publicly her hotness which he does talk about but also her her brains and and the three women who were closest to him and again the my interest in this story had to do with that event no and the election in november of man who was you know historically massaging istic in his in his behavior and statements and these these women and so i researched the women who were closest to him and i have some pretty

interesting answers to what makes them stay with well again if need be an interesting book to read for some of those answers nina burly political journalist based in the states and also of the golden handcuffs the secret history of trans women madam thank you. a key part of president trump strategy during campaigning was to put immigration at the forefront of voters' minds he repeatedly condemn the caravans of violence crossing mexico to seek asylum in the u.s. and the third by the promise of a hostile reception the first group of men women and children mostly from doris has now arrived in mexico city man who reports. this is the sound of children laughing in sr. he just arrived in the capital mexico city after traveling with five thousand other central americans for the first time in several weeks they're able to really rest. where we want these children to see that mexico is

a country that's in solidarity with them so they can take this memory when they leave on the. mexican authorities have been preparing for their arrival setting up food stands medical tents as well spaces for a shower and even a haircut. i'm happy with how mexico has treated us we're very thankful to mexico. we met me here while she was waiting in line for donated clothes she says she's bound for the u.s. and has a message for president trump any better than no there are no terrorists here or criminals nobody is here for fun we're all running from poverty in honduras it's not for pleasure that i'm traveling to the united states. walking along the camp we spotted several volunteers providing legal advice to those looking to claim political asylum either in mexico or the u.s. although what then as a volunteer attorney says most are planning to stay in mexico despite the rhetoric despite the fear that the trumpet ministration is trying to administer these people

are intent on carrying out the right that they have to seek asylum in the united states. while it may seem crowded authorities say they're still expecting more people to arrive in the coming days this case at this outdoor sporting or. it has been transformed into a comedy as many as five thousand people travelling as part of a caravan that left on douras several weeks ago but their stop here is only temporary they're all to make goal is reaching the southern border of the united states. with a fresh change of clothes in hand and her daughter head off to get some rest knowing the most difficult part of their journey still lies ahead. mexico city. turkey's fishing industry accounts for just one percent of its economy and that figure is likely to fall not rise overfishing illegal use of nets sent pollution all fresh in the industry as local fishermen struggle to compete with the larger

it first emerged this week as a q. viral video but scientists now say that this footage of a mother bear and her cub taken in russia shows the misuse of drones the video of the baby bear struggling to climb an ice wall has been shared on twitter almost two hundred thousand times as an example of never giving up but naturalists are now saying the bears are actually trying to escape the drone that was filming them and pilots need to show more awareness was larsen known as brisket is a bear biologist he believes there needs to be stricter regulations on filming the mom is actually really stressed out she's constantly looking at the drone to kind of see where it's at i think the drone operator having his drone and so close forced her to make a decision that normally she would have made with a bit more time she kind of crossed that that steep drip in iraq and typically you know they'll be really careful to pick

a route that they're coming to make safely and that they can stay with their coven kind of a tighter unit so i think just having that drone right on are really made her make kind of this wraps rash decision that ended up working out for a public could have been a lot worse had it been steeper as far as my research goes when we are filming bears we try and be as as least invasive as possible so we typically set up cameras that are camouflaged their motion activated on the bears typically don't even notice and that's just so we don't place any stress on the animals as far as those laws are concerned i do think there needs to be some laws around drone activity with wildlife in particular i just think you know as humans were already placing a lot of different stressors on animals whether it's you know encroaching into their their areas or hunting or whatever so that add to that with drones just it's just one more thing that they don't need so they definitely think some laws could be beneficial. ok now let's go to paul at the sport
