libyan capital at least five people have been killed and dozens of others with. france's president vows to rebuild not predominate lays out an ambitious timetable . but our u.s. president donald trump has vetoed a resolution by congress calling for an end to u.s. involvement in the saudi led war in yemen congress expressed concern about the thousands of civilians killed in coalition airstrikes since the conflict began in two thousand and fifteen you haven't been pushed to the brink of famine with millions suffering from food and medical shortages trump says the action by congress threatened to weaken his constitutional power rather than jordan has more from washington. at least two democratic u.s. senators are calling for congress to override the veto issued by donald trump on

tuesday night the u.s. president is vetoing a joint resolution passed by members of the senate and of the house earlier this month. with call of the u.s. military to stop all support for the saudi air coalition in the yemeni civil war the supporters of this measure say that the u.s. is on the wrong side of history that the saudi air war against the fighters has instead created a bass of humanitarian catastrophe in that country which has been under civil war for more than four years they've members of congress are also angry that the tropic ministration is continuing the pattern of never ending war going into conflicts around the world without getting the express permission of congress first and they're also trying to express their disapproval and a lot of the fact that their view know what has been held fully accountable for the birder of saudi writer jamal khashoggi back in october it is widely assumed that

the saudi crown prince mohammed bin sol bond may have been behind the plot to. murder and so for those three reasons congress said that it should have some sort of limit placed a u.s. military action in yabut however the us president says that he has the constitutional right to deploy the military wherever he sees fit both for us national security purposes every u.s. foreign policy purposes he said that if he approved this joint resolution number said that it would set a very bad precedent for u.s. policy going forward the question now can congress figure out how to reverse the veto and have this resolution take effect in a couple of weeks top. more than one hundred ninety million eligible voters in indonesia are casting their ballots in the world's largest single day elections in

a first the presidential and legislative votes are being held at the same time the government says that is to cut costs it is a repeat of the twenty fourteen polls with president djoko we don't are facing a challenge from former general so be on top of taking a closer look at the candidates joe cole we as he is known was twice mare of the city of salo and elected governor of jakarta in two thousand and twelve he became president in two thousand and fourteen winning fifty three percent of the vote on the campaign trail he's promised to continue improvements to roads bridges and social programs his rival. is the former son in law of soeharto who ruled indonesia for three decades was a former commander of military special forces he's promised to lower prices for basic necessities like fuel and food. away in haiti is life worse in the indonesian capital jakarta so wine polls are open now and from what you're seeing didn't in

egypt is appearing enthusiastic about the process this time around the. yes they certainly do judging by this polling station in the heart of the capital city we have seen a fairly steady stream of people coming to cast their vote since the polls opened at seven in the morning local time in fact voters only have six hours to cast their ballots so we've only got another couple of hours left in this part of indonesia in the eastern part of the country polls are closing right now remembering we have three different time zones in this country across some seventeen thousand islands so it's a very complex process we have heard some reports of irregularities problems getting the ballot boxes the voting papers to some of the more remote polling stations some areas motorbikes couldn't even get through to those polling stations to deliver the

equipment needed to carry out this election so they had to use buffalo's instead so this is a very complex wide ranging process and when you're talking about so many polling stations around the country so many eligible voters there are bound to be some difficulties throughout the course of the day. and you've been following both campaigns for us what have been the main issues that the candidates have been focusing on. well i think undoubtedly the. overall economy really economic issues again have been some of the major talking points joko widodo the president going for a second term in office has focused a lot on what he's achieved over the past five years trying to sell indonesians on those achievements particularly when it comes to infrastructure of religion has also become a big issue it seems that we are seeing some lines being drawn. i mean to me increasingly when it comes to conservative and moderate religion moderate islam and

the challenger to the presidency. has formed alliances with some fairly hardline religious groups in this country some of whom want to introduce islamic law to indonesia there's no sign that the presidential candidates embraces that himself but more moderate indonesians will be perhaps a bit concerned about which direction he would like to take the country religiously should he become the next president of indonesia. for the moment when a life for us there in jakarta thanks frank now in wilson is a research fellow at murdoch university asia research center he says joe cole we don't know has the upper.
