a special council investigation means the federal government criminal probes into former president donald trump will have a new boss that will be jack smith, a former top justice department attorney, currently working for the international criminal court at the hague. smith will return to washington as special counsel to take over the investigations into trumps efforts to overturn the 2020 election results an trumps handling of national security documents. after he left office, the special council will have the day to day autonomy and the ongoing pieces taking the investigation out of the justice department's normal chain of command. us attorney general merit garland said, given trump's announcement this week, that he's entering the 2024 presidential race a special counselor is the only way to lessen the appearance of a conflict of interest. allan. but based on recent developments,

including the former president's announcement that he is a candidate for president in the next election. and the sitting president stated intention to be a candidate as well. i have concluded that it is in the public interest to appoint a special council. this horrendous abuse of powers, the latest of a long series of witches started a long time ago. his belief in american strength and his commitment to american speaking from a moral law gala hours after the special council announcement, trump accused the biden ministration of political attack. the corrupt and highly political justice department just appointed a super radical left special council. better referred to as a special prosecutor. this is a rig deal just as the 2020 election was rigged, and we can't let them get away with it. we can't do it. we cannot let this happen dorky. the white house has consistently declined to discuss investigations

involving trump abide and spokesperson said the president had not been involved in the decision to appoint a special counsel. it might not have been strictly necessary at this early stage, but mary garland is a by the books kind of attorney general, he's extremely cautious and he wants any indictment that comes down regarding donald trump's actions to be beyond reproach. the accused or part of this group smith, who previously led justice department prosecutions of democrats and republicans for corruption, is described as an apolitical. and by the book prosecutor, he'll be under pressure to complete the trump investigations quickly and decide whether to recommend criminal charges against the former president. heidi jo, castro al jazeera washington. or how came jeffries has formerly launched and been to take over from nancy pelosi as democratic leader in the u. s. house of

representatives. if he wins, jeffrey's will be the 1st african american to has a party caucus and congress pelosi announce she'll stuck down when republicans take charge of the house in february holes of clothes, the malaysia and what's been called the most competitive election in the country's history. 3 main alliances are battling for power. the nation's been dogged by political instability with 3 prime ministers in the last 4 years. florence louis reports from colin poor. some had been standing in line and hour before poles opened. the 6000000 new voters because of ultra magic voter registration and because the voting age has been the what to 18, squeezed by the rising cost of living. many vote to say the economy is one of the main concerns for the future. well, but the thing that educate you to increase career opportunities to environmentally leaving a better world for everyone else,

for funding coming generation to economic, what's important is the economy to get rid of corruption and bribery and voting for my children's future. and of course, malaysia, though most of the craft is a major issue, the top ranks of one of the main contenders varies a national or national front is tainted with corruption. they were voted out in the last election, but made a political come back as part of a new alliance after the previous government collapsed because of in fighting and defection. the main opposition, the alliance of hope is hoping to repeat the electro victory in 2018. then the, the national alliance, a relatively new partnership base, been accused of encouraging the defection which led to the collapse of the previous government. and i think the considerations that people would meet now would be, which is the more fitting government, rather than where do i cost my protests vote,

or redway express my dissatisfaction analysts regardless as malaysia the most competitive election. it's also one of the most difficult to call. some surveys predict the opposition will take the most seats, but not enough to form government on its own. the question of who lead malaysia may still not be clear, even after all votes have been counted. florence louis al jazeera, quite a little port. richard wells is from the university of nodding a malaysia's asia research institute, and i asked her about the high turnout and how that could affect the outcome. we've seen, you know, over 70 percent. and we're expecting that that will, that figure will increase when the final number comes in. and we've seen the lines full of young people that the young people of this country have taken this election to very seriously. and they've come out to vote, especially in the peninsula. right. and in terms off the parties who are battling for power, what we understand is that the main battle will be between the long ruling united

malays national organization and the opposition leader of our team. what do you expect to happen there? i think we're abraham's packets in higher bond or the alliance of hope has, has secured the most seat. of course we're waiting to hear, the coding has begun, so we'll get a sense of the amount of tally. i think the big surprise will be what happens with the old alliance and national lions or virus and national i think whether or not they're able to kind of have a rebound the last bit or whether or not they were actually lose seats. and they've not perform well during the campaign, but we also see the emergence of another coalition. and a lot of young people are voting for this coalition. and so we can see, we'll see how many seats they're able to secure. so we the 3 corner race which makes this particular election in more competitive than in any recollection in history. so if no single party wins, then what are we looking at next?

well, we've seen malaysian history that there have been to hung state parliament state assemblies. both in a place called para and keta. so there are precedents for this. so i think what in the normal precedent is that the person or the coalition that has the most seeds is asked to form the government. and i think we will see a negotiations and particularly because regional coalitions are expected to do well in 2 and the two's the areas of borneo sub on sar walks that we expect to have negotiations beginning. but after whoever is one, the most seats is called and asked to form a government. and as for the voters who are coming out, what's at stake for them is it is simply all about the economy this time around i think it's not just about the economy, but i definitely feel that this is a very important issue for especially for younger voters but i would say that it's not just about that there are issues of stability and those that have supported whereupon have wanting to have that kind of better, more political reforms, a better governance, some issues of corruption,

all of these things mel together. and i think we've seen a very exciting campaign, especially in the last week leaders of the asia pacific economic cooperation summit in bangkok have concluded their meeting condemning the war in ukraine and in their final declaration for while the summit is generally being seen as a success it may not benefit the host nation as much as the thai government had hoped. toni chang reports ah willed leaders arrive to meet thailand, king at the apex summit in bangkok, the government has been keen to benefit from the prestige of hosting a global event on the scale of to the isolation of the kobe 19th pandemic. as he handed over the chair of the block, the prime minister said unity was vital in tackling the challenges ahead. epic and i knew that to been part is the apec region is in the midst of an important transition period. we all need to maintain a sense of unity and must be able to manage the ever changing climate conditions.

pylon is ready to seamlessly cooperate with the u. s. in driving to work with apec going forward. the closing statement recognizes the need to intensify efforts to address rising inflation, food security, and climate change. it says most notions condemned the war in ukraine, but also concedes that apec is not the form to resolve security issues. although mostly behind closed doors, the meetings on the side lines of the summit seem to be productive in addressing rising regional tensions. but have the hosts benefited. the last time thailand chaired apec in 2003. the meeting was seen as the starting point in a dramatic economic and diplomatic revival. this time colored off the map is really below radar. as being disregarded, you know, is not really a player in the region so that, that, that strategy should have been to regain a regional role for timer or using apec as a, as a means as a channel i occasion,

but that's not happening. and that's been reflected by the tight security in bangkok to ensure no descent was ed publicly the apex summit. his concluded with our major incident will be a relief for the ty. government who are expecting protest is to try and interrupt proceedings, but particularly for the residents of the ty capital, we've had to live with the city. look down the possible days. tony chang, l 0, bank or kenny. i was former leader over kenyatta and were wanda's president, polk and gama are calling for a ceasefire and eastern democratic republic of congo fighters in the armed group. m 23 have made major gains in recent weeks. advancing towards goma, malcolm lab has the latest from the eastern congo a few kilometers from the fighting. the front line is about 5 kilometers further north of where we are down this road. there's a check point here, man by congress. the soldiers. there are some un peacekeepers here as well. and the

congress force is on m 23, a holding that positions this follows. kenya's foreign ministry saying that the former canyon president who re kenyatta, whose facilitating regional piece talks in a statement said that he'd had a phone call with rwandan president who could gummy and gummy had agreed to assist in urging em 23 fighters to cease fire. and to withdraw from the territories that they've occupied. m. 23 is widely understood to be backed by rwanda, which is just a few kilometers over there where they were. wanda has always denied it. congress army spokesman said that they hadn't been any sign of with withdrawal yet. and also that fighting is ongoing on another front, near tongue, which is to the west of m 20 three's territory. congress government spokesman told us that they're waiting to see if ruined the will respect this agreement and said that rwanda hasn't respected such agreements in the past. meanwhile,

civilians bearing a lot of the brunt of this conflict more than 200000 people, have been displaced. many of them living in camps between here, where we are in the city of goma, just down the road here. and those people who are injured in the fighting on that side of the front line often don't get any access to medical care. some others who able to get to go and do, and we spoke to some of them. many walker and get, i was in our village and then the fighting started, and one of the bombs hit our house. my husband lost his legs and died. i was taken to a hospital nearby, but no one could help me until was brought here. are fed there, do, shall, quatro marchese. we feel very traumatized by all of this. we are living in the camp in the rain without even plastic sheets for shelter were only asking for the people in power to bring peace. so we can go home because we're used to doing our own work and living by our own means. the u. s. state department is set in a statement that,

along with special envoy for this region, from the u. k. france and belgium that they condemn in the strongest possible words, the advances of un sanctioned m 23 armed groups. these are some of the strongest comments we've had so far from the western powers who were influential in this region. but people here waiting to see if this increased diplomatic activity is going to amount to any changes on the ground ahead of piece talks, which are due to resume in low on in and go las capital luanda on monday time for a check on the weather here is robbed, a major winter storm is blowing through the great lakes of eastern canada, new york state, for example. this swirl of cloud is, is what's within really cold air, it's blowing of the top of open water to great lakes. this is the result. this is lake effect, snow the meter meter and a half 1.7 meters recorded. southern buffet, little embarrassing. he get the snow glass duck. but when you go it happens. that

what he calls and moral lessons. poles have closed and what's a crucial election for malaysia? it's expected to be the tightest race since independence. more than 60 years ago. donald trump has head out at the appointment of a special counsel to oversee the us justice department investigation. jack smith will lead protein to his handling of classified documents on the legend election interference. the north korean leader kim jong, who has revealed his daughter to the world's, her existence, had never been publicly confirmed before these images emerged the photos so that you hand in hand inspecting a ballistic missile. north korea test fired a was song, 17 intercontinental ballistic missile on friday. and earlier i spoke to robert kelly, who is an associate professor with the national university. he says the decision to release the images suggest kim daughter may become north korea as next leader. north cruise monarchy, right? it's ruled by the kim family and there have been 3 events with the 3rd one. we

anticipate that if the current kim were to pass away, that the leadership would pass to a blood relative. now it's never been the case. it's rarely the case and i'll talk, i see that you have succession go from a male to a female. so the daughter is actually the chosen one. that would actually be sort of a pretty unique moment. but still, my sense is that's probably some of the political backdrop for this right decision began to show that cam has a family and that these, the people who would, would take over if, if you were to pass ways were pointing out that, you know, he had health care in the past and he's pretty obese, obviously, heavy smoker, and this is how his father passed away to from health crisis from his alcoholism. and so my guess is that there's a concern inside the regime that once the kids are old enough, they need to work at the pictures gone. and so that's probably what the, what do we read into the fact that the soda was released of the 2 of them hand it had inspecting a ballistic missile? yeah, i think i think a lot of people who are working this is just wondering about that. my sense that

this is sort of a kind of reflects how, how cut off north creates when asked of the world. that is to say, it's hard to imagine any other world leader, even in a really brutal autocracy, like russia, for example, taking their child out and showing them sort of a thermo nuclear weapon. i mean, it's pretty shocking. the imagery is pretty shocking. and i think that one of the things that does that shows you have sort of north currently don't actually mix with much of the world. the next you travel with much of the world are and see much see much of the weather actually through interact with too many people outside of north korea. and so the sense of sort of like what appropriate behavior is around something is destructive as a nuclear weapon is a lower right. and i think this is that we look at this. we're also like, wow, he's showing 9 year old child is terrible weapon. i think that might just not be the way they see it and taking part because north korea leads does not really socialize very well to sort of global standards because i don't travel on cobra for education and things like that. so this probably doesn't look weird internally as it does to us. how do you saying the international audience is going to be looking

at this picture? and my guess is that most of the speculation will be on whether or not the daughter is in some way being groomed. again, this is sort of an issue without the father of the current can. his help suddenly took a nose dive about 1012 years ago i want to say and then suddenly had to go and find the current chemistry group him and bring them out into public because they were concerned that the father was going to die or from the pancreatic stroke and, and that didn't fact happened. he's just had a heart attack one day. and that's, i think that's probably, or we on the outsider thing here, right at the monarchy is always sort of unstable. it depends on the health of the great leader, the great man, you know, the can, jones health isn't very good. right. and if you were to sort of fall over one day, ever not wake up the way his father did, what would, what would happen? so my guess is that that's probably what the outside world world is going to see, right. i mean, that's sort of the family issues and the signaling at home that his family met that interest us less than whether or not the, the succession question is being addressed. what about the countries that are obviously concerned about the north korean nuclear program?

will they be worried by this and will worry them, but it may appear that he's looking to to continue that legacy if is nuclear weapons program, it is and could be looking to hand it over at some point. yeah, absolutely, no, that's a great insight, right? i mean, the cam has made very clear and lots of the year he's made very clear that nuclear weapons are not up north regional girlfriends are not up to negotiation, he won't trade them away. this is one of the reasons why there's been no discussion between north korea and the bio ministration, because the north koreans just don't talk about nukes at all. and so, yeah, and so, and so north korean nuclear weapons have been written into the constitution. they've been sort of worked up very heavily and in propaganda from the, from the, from the, from the new service up there. and so this is a part of mercury. now it's part of north is sort of identity, right? that even though north, maybe 4 and south korea well the and they got sports cars whenever we north korea, we're strong. we have these new and that is part of the identity that will be handed on to the next generations. yeah, i think that's actually a very good insight,

syria state news agency reports for syrian soldiers have been killed and is really earth strikes military post in the central and western regions were head, including and hung on the provinces of hama. and let's talk. israel has been mounting attacks against iran by forces deployed in those areas. sir kia has inaugurated a new housing settlement in syria's northwestern. it'll providence, which is held by the opposition president reggie play berta. one hopes this will encourage 1000000 of the 4000000 syrian refugees to return home zanna who reports from assemble. mohammed umbrella has called turkey or home. since he left syria 6 years ago. he decided to leave after the government regained control of local. returning is not an option for those who support the opposition. but bahama tells us that there are no longer welcome here that she lives in, sorry, and into the kia are afraid. at any time they could face

a problem or be sent to areas in the northern syria where he is preparing home some parties into our using refugees as a cod to pressure the government turkey a host, the largest refugee population in the world. 4000000 are syrian, their fate has been part of the political dialog ahead of next year's election. for years, the turkish opposition has been saying refugees should be sent back. now, the governing party is also talking about it. the government has had to deal with rising anti refugees, sentiment, which has been made worse by the economic crisis. inflation is officially at 80 percent and. 2 unemployment among young people is at nearly 20 percent. the government is hoping to encourage returns by building houses in the syrian opposition held areas in the north. by the end of the year, 100000 units should be ready. it insists any returns will be voluntary,

but these reassurances have done little to come in with the king. i'm looking for them to do a little clearly the syrians know the total key is among the few countries that opened the door to them. but now, because of some people in society, they facing discrimination, there have been deportations. but according to the government, it's because residency rules have been violated. but many refugees complain about difficult administrative procedure and restrictions on movement. there's also tension with local communities who consider syrians and economic burden. and when we came here 7 years ago, we brought nothing with us. how do we escaped war? since then, it had been a struggle that we are not comfortable. and now there is uncertainty for many of those who have made this country home. and there are 0 stumble professors in iran

have gathered for the funerals of people killed during demonstrations this week. an easy, the mother of a 9 year old told the crowd, her son was shot dead by security forces. state officials say the child was killed in a terrorist attack. human rights group say 342 people have been killed in demonstrations in the past 2 months. thousands of palestinians have held a funeral for $21.00. people killed in a fire in gaza. their coffins were carried through crowds of mourners to the cemetery. just a warning, some few may be upset by images, and this report by you must have thousands march carrying the bodies of 21 members of the family over killed by a fire at their home in japan, the refugee camp. most children, according to this tragedy, has affected everyone. we slipped through a terrible noise. i came home and family children crying out of grief and fear. may
