overwhelmed all squinched survivors who have returned to the nazi concentration camp 75 years so after it was liberate. the ad. thank you very much for joining us u.s. officials say a plane that crashed in afghanistan's gosney province was a small u.s. military plane that's according to the reuters news agency this happened in a mountainous terrain which is partly controlled by the taliban in a statesman the taliban has said high ranking u.s. security personnel were on board and that everyone was killed let's get more on this developing story from same bus ravi who joins us live from kabul so say in the u.s. now admitting that this was a u.s. military aircraft but a bit of conflicting information between what they're saying and what the taliban are saying what more are you hearing. that's right foley ever since the story

broke there have been more questions than answers at least in the earlier part of the day the taliban spokesman on his twitter account just a few hours ago said that the plane that crashed in gaza he called it a cia plane and he said that all those on board were killed and characterized them as members of the u.s. intelligence community we've also seen the taliban circulating a photograph with an insignia that reads air combat command and really this begs the question of who is actually in charge of that crash site at this stage or if the taliban ever were in control of the crash site we saw social media footage circulated rather quickly after the crash in the hours that followed showing the wreckage of an aircraft and on the wreckage is a tail the tail section of the wreckage clearly the markings of the u.s. air force were visible 'd there so very early on that there were reports from

eyewitnesses at the scene suggesting that this was in fact u.s. military aircraft now who has control of the wreckage who has control of the bodies that still remains a question we did hear from the spokesman of the governor of gaza a province earlier saying that. security forces were at the scene but we still don't have any details with regards to salvage operations or any sort of wreckage salvage that may be happening at this time now we do have an unconfirmed report the taliban have been tweeting again they just tweeted minutes ago that another aircraft they said belonging to afghan to the afghan government presumably the afghan national forces has crashed in neighboring teacup province next to guys in the province we don't know if it was part of any rescue efforts and we're still waiting on confirmation but the taliban in terms of messaging is certainly trying to stay in the lead on this story indeed and i imagine that any investigation into the u.s.

military akram crash is going to be extremely difficult because this is an area that spot be controlled by the taliban. yes that's exactly right this is certainly a nightmare scenario for the u.s. and nato forces operating here in afghanistan and for any u.s. allies that are operating here but certainly trying to get there is going to be difficult in the best of circumstances many of the parts of the country that are controlled by the taliban are difficult to access and currently where in the peak of winter and this is a snow covered mountainous territory and certainly it is going to be difficult for any sort of rescue effort to get there but again we have reached out to u.s. forces in the country to see if they have any reaction or any comments on ongoing efforts to get to the crash site we're still waiting to hear back from them and we'll get the latest from you zain when you have exam bazarov eli forests in kabul and other world news levanon spawn amend has passed its 2020 by jet as it tries to lift the country out of a deepening economic crisis protests as a tried to block politicians from getting to the vote many rejected the budget as

it had been discussed and amended by the previous administration riot police were deployed and some demonstrators were physically removed from the parliament precincts that iraq is in beirut and she says the protesters didn't expect the budget to be approved so. they've actually finally ratified this much to date budget which was put in by the government they had made some amendments to it in december this new government was quite seemed to keen rather to get it through a soon as possible it was meant to be its 2 day session and everyone out here the protesters have been quite surprised at how quickly they managed to ratify in fact the speaker of parliament earlier had said that it was it was important to everyone to remain in parliament and get this done as soon as possible because the heights and security situation we've just spoken to some protesters close the ratification of this budget and they said that it's to damn is just a big shot is

a representation of the old government and it's just new faces very very concerned they said that the budget had been approved is of the pre protest time which meant that the economy was not so good at the time but it's gotten so much worse since then a few last month a similar story last week the finance minister had put out an appeal saying that they need 4 to 5 $1000000000.00 of foreign soft loans just to buy the basics for the next year and that includes weeks we're talking about fuel we're talking medicine people salaries that we've been speaking to say that the value of the mirror has not to be dropped it lost about 30 to 40 percent of their income so the protesters that we've been speaking to today have said that they're not going to be going anywhere but they are also concerned they spit at how the security forces are tightening in on them and there have been some clashes in fact a few people ended up in hospital today. in yemen who the rebels have killed at

treating those who have the virus market but i have to keep wearing the same mask if i throw this away no mask then i'm asking the government to sell more masks. i found out that everything sold out to buy food and vegetables now i hope the situation can get better after the chinese new year holiday china's 2nd most powerful government official premier league has been put in charge of the coronavirus situation he traveled down to will hutton visited the construction site of a hospital that's been purpose built for the virus. we should build the sauce patrol as soon as possible we set the date this february 2nd we bringing all the medical resources from all over the country will bring thousands of medical stuff to other hospitals in here he then spoke with medical workers on the front lines of the virus outbreak. throughout the day safe and save lives because what you're doing now is to save lives you'll nation is relying on you while the people of china

might be relying on those medical workers the entire world watches as the number of dead and infected continues to rise it's got al-jazeera beijing. to the. and donald trump has criticized his former national security adviser who appears to be undercutting the u.s. presidency impeachment defends the new york times has obtained a draft copy of a book written by john bolton he reportedly wrote that trump told him to tie ukrainian military aide to an investigation into his political rival democratic hopeful joe biden and his allegation is at the center of efforts to remove child from office bolton has said he's willing to testify at the president's impeachment trial now here's what president trump's aide in response on twitter i never told john bolton that the aid to ukraine was tied to investigations into democrats including the biden in fact he says he never complained about this at the time of his very public terminations if john bolton said this it was only to sell

a book let's bring in our white house correspondent kimberly hockett so kimberly the democrats will be seizing on this spot and report says the president's impeachment trial is about to resume in the senate later today what can we expect. well the u.s. president has been tweeting about it he's hoping that americans will watch in fact he even tweeted about the starting time 800 g.m.t. when his defense team will really be laying out the bulk of arguments in defense of the president who has long maintained that he has committed no wrongdoing but you're right this bolton bombshell as it's being called is certainly bolstering the case made by democrats that there needs to be further investigation in the form of hearing for witnesses and up until now it appeared that the democrats were not going to get their wish in terms of witnesses but increasingly there seems to be some moderate republican movement 'd in the form of at least 2 senators they need

for in this republican controlled body in order to win the vote to hear those witnesses so there is some traction that is gaining this is not good for the white house because up until now the claims that the president used as presidential powers has largely been based on 2nd to have her care say information but john bolton is from the president's inner circle and certainly would be damning for the president still the president believes that his defense team can clear his name and that is what is expected to get coffee at $800.00 g.m.t. and this coming on a busy day for the president can believe he is due to meet the israeli prime minister of any minute now this hour at the white house and due to unveil his much delayed mideast peace plan i imagine a welcome distraction for both leaders. a welcome distraction you're absolutely right but there are these accusations that this is politics nothing more than a political stunt not just because u.s. president donald trump is trying to distract or to cops from the domestic headlines of impeachment but also in the case of the israeli leader he's got those corruption

charges that are certainly a problem for him as we i these upcoming israeli elections in early march so there's a lot of accusation of manipulation the part of both leaders in the midst of all of this you also have the chairman of the blue and white party benny gantz about to join in perhaps on these discussions as well although i don't think all 3 will be in the same room at the same time because the concern for but again says that he is being manipulated by both of these leaders in the so-called photo op if you will and then there is the plan that they are going to be talking about it's been a very secret up till now but a lot of skepticism about this mideast plan considering the palestinians have largely been shut out of the process and the white house maintains we've made invitations they've been turned down but certainly some of the actions of this administration whether it's the moving of the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem whether it is the discontinuing of aid to the palestinians shutting down their offices in washington the palestinian liberation

organization the list goes on and on where they say this is hardly been a balanced effort in fact it's been the allegations decidedly in favor of the israelis so lot of skepticism not just about this plan that we still have not seen unveiled but also in terms of the timing of this meeting thank you for that can really convey how cats live for us at the white house and seem ahead on this program if he is right wing leader might tell us out of any failed to win an important regional election. morning and legends basketball fans pay their respects to kobe bryant after his daughter and 7 others are carried in a helicopter. that if you want days ahead with some violence the weather conditions across much of
