a us foreign policy expert he says members of congress know the stakes are high when it comes to security. this letter was a strike across the bow really sending a message that congress in both a bipartisan in by cameral fashion was just about united in stating that there needs to be a clear well defined policy as it pertains to syria there's tremendous concern across the house and senate and probably 4 within some elements of the administration is well that you have open spaces within syria that can be taken over by the likes of isis hezbollah or factions groups loyal to our iran or russia and so what leaders in the house and senate again both republican and democrat are saying is that we have to know exactly what the policy in posture of united states is going to be in the coming days and months as it

pertains to syria the stakes are just too high when you look at the security issues on the ground when you look at u.s. national security interests that have to be protected as well as president nicolas maduro has proposed holding early elections for the opposition controlled national assembly and made the announcement as he marked one year since his controversial reelection next kegel vote isn't due until 2020 at least a dozen assembly members have been stripped of their legislative immunity in recent weeks and face charges of treason and subversion of the. proposal coincides with talks held in the us between pentagon officials and representatives of opposition leader. or latin america has more from caracas. president hugo last mughal had said many many times over the last few months that he is willing one fact that he wants to bring forward elections for the national assembly the only institution

that he does not control so that in and of itself is not new what's new is the context there have been exploratory talks between the government and the opposition of. the opposition in norway nothing supposedly had come of this but now president says that he is willing to quote speak to the devil if that will bring peace now the devil of course that he's referring to is why though the opposition leader but it's not clear that why though it wants to talk to him at least about that because he has put 3 or maybe 3 demands which he says are not negotiable and that is for you to resign for there to be a transition government and for elections to be held but not just for the national assembly but for all of the institutions in the country starting with the presidency so it's not clear at all whether this latest suggestion is really going to fly or the wood and whether it will work at all to try to unlock this deadlock ford is cutting thousands of jobs worldwide and the u.s.

they're facing similar industry pressures and those companies are hearing for an era in which perhaps people aren't buying so many cars perhaps hiring self driving cars to take them where they want to go on a regular basis and all of this happens is those companies have been hit by tariffs the trump administration has said on steel and other metals that has cost ford alone about a $1000000000.00 over the past year and to put that in perspective the company is saving about $600000000.00 with the cuts that it is announced on monday that doesn't get you quite to the $1000000000.00 the company has paid in terrorist for importing the metals it needs to make those cars so the tariffs have been bad news on top of a rough year for the automakers so add on al-jazeera argentina's former president goes on trial for corruption and what impact that could have on her future political ambitions. warm welcome for
