the so the days mode that unites us then divides us the on the on several venue. it's good to have you with us. this is the news our lives from coming up in the program to do. serious new leader meets with us. diplomats in damascus, who described their encounter as very productive northern and central gaza under attack. again, early morning is really or strikes targets, palestinian homes and children are among the debt. the suspect is arrested after a car plows into a christmas market in germany chewing 2 people and injuring dozens of the 60 boat

threshold having been achieved. the bill is passed and the us avoid. another government shuts down after the senate approves a new funding bill for the next 3 months. the, the us is taking a step towards legitimizing the new syrian administration by meeting its liter. um, it'll show top middle east diplomat barbara leaf loved the delegation to syria for the 1st engagement between washington and the new leadership in damascus. after the meeting, she confirmed that the us is lifting a $10000000.00 bounty for all sure. who is the head of higher? definitely, russian, which the us consider is still a terrorist organization. least said that washington would also consider lifting sanctions on syria, but that the new leadership would have to be in her words, responsive and demonstrate progress 1st. and both parties agreed to work together

to find journalist austin tyson, and other american citizens when missing during the charlotte sides will offer 0 cushion help r. as in damascus, reporting on the 1st steps of this new administration in syria, hasha serial valve decision by the americas not to pursue any more the rewards for the camp. so of i'm of the size, seeing here by hey, at the shop and size advise, as, as, as a small victory, significant step forward that could pay the way for him to play a greater role in sylvia. because it's a soldier to what is happening here in damascus. people coming together to put together a new political system into place that would replace the system that was established by bus shuttle assets and his father before him. a copy of the said, i guess what, the man who is going to save of the future of syria is about the subtle. but he

needs political recognition and he needs the backend of the international community . that decision by the amount of goods yesterday was why they appreciated by his own people. what is going to happen in the upcoming days? there's going to be a decision analysis next week to abolish the best spot to the positive that has voted sylvia for half a century. and then they would have to put together a new law that establishes political parties so that people come together and buy for a say, a presence is a part of in a presence in the new government to be established. and also this slide, the future of the country. question is, what it? well, let's look at this packets. this is the oh my god, the most one was the oldest in these lumnick well, of a since the full asset. people have come the here for the friday prayers, and late to just set up by the end of that case of photography doesn't. that's it.

that's not mine. and my message is for people of drawer to come back, the country has become good and the freedom with the waiting for is finally arrived . there is continued to celebrate the down photo of outside and here's a repressive regime. but at the same time, the worried about the future and to what lies ahead for the country. that's because the new administration is facing. mounting challenges is violating causes into buffers. the flattening emitted to confrontation. but opening a new media to front isn't a top priority here. the defect to lead as of syria coding for the national conference, to agree with a way forward for the country. we have a constitutional gap right now. and in order to cover this constitutional gap, we need an in an urgent process. uh, 2 digits inmates of this transitional period. and we will decide which time is

suitable for all the factions, and later with use to us to step forward into the political process. western own voice arriving almost daily to test the waters. they want to ensure a credible and inclusive transition us definitely not met with her mother. so hey, at to see the show lead. he's calling on the international community to lift the sanctions imposed on syria to have the country off to the meeting, the us to remove the 10000000 bounty for of the sellers arise. we also discuss the critical need to ensure a terrorist groups cannot pose a threat inside of area or externally, including to the us and our partners in the region and a shot are committed to this. and so, based on our discussion, i told him we would not be pursuing the rewards for justice reward offer that has been in effect a significant boost for the man who is likely to have

a biggest se on silvia and politics for years. but for now, the u. s. e u and many other countries insist the lifting the sanctions will depend on whether he keeps his promises to full an inclusive government which respects the rights of women and minorities. especially about about the 0, damascus. the israel's military held the northern gaza strip under siege for more than 70 days and is really or a strike has hit her home in jamalia 10 palestinians were killed including 7 children. and in the center of this trip, at least 8 palestinians were killed in the attack on the residential building and on the same route, the refugee camp father and his children are among the dead. is really forces of killed at least 25 people across gauze. since dawn on friday, the, when we received the rescue call, we drove towards the jaffa street,

and then you say your account on apartments was targeted in the jeff, the building of the center of the secret market. there were more than 25 injured taken to hospital. most of the dead were children and body remains sunnyvale, who it is in darrow balance. central guy that honey there are, there is renewed talk and renewed efforts to get to cease by ideal in gaza. will talk to that in a moment that before we do bring us up to speed on the latest attacks across the street. we'll let's begin with the confirmed reports we received from northern dogs that was renewed, the new wave of the art galleries directed uh to on beach that he had. that's the west for northern part of the gauze, and strip the city once densely populated with people. many of the tribe civilians are still in major parts of stock. city have been switched into infernal further

displacement and from one place to another. literally, people for the past few weeks had the moving of from one place to another. seeking show there is it protects it from the ongoing, unpredictable fall in bonds, but this ro, scene of the, the art dealer's that as far as on a daily basis in the morning, is causing not only the destruction and the killing, but also the intimidation. there is no safe place in the northern part of this trip . then people look at some of the areas that they resided in the past in and they're becoming uninhabitable. and it's hard to imagine how life will be as soon as there is a ceasefire or dude are going back to their funds also from robot cities. the eastern part of robot city has become almost deserted from people as they give you . artillery continued the daily routine of bombings, heavy machine guns. but the worst of this is of last night, the early hours of yesterday's evening extended to last night. the tax on jamalia and the most ironic refuge account where a people in and they'll say, right,

rugs you got, you know, a residential lot were killed jewish children among the casualties. but this is a family that was filtering inside this as a residential if by india valley, at the report of a massive explosion have, is displaced as, as bombs and drop the residential homes, housing displaced, families of one single family 12 people reported feel that many were injured not only from the bond side, but also from the vicinity of this particular house, many of the home has been severely damaged. again, pushing more people into displacement as the area becomes quite unsafe for people to see. and because of their repeated attacks, honey, there are some signs of renewed optimism over the possibility of a gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal. is that something that palestinians and gaza, or following closely of the

absolutely people are following closely. the news about a potential sea inspires it now despite the i'm the unity surrounding the talk because so far, for the past, almost 10 days, what we hear about is coming from league, from cairo or from other places or from analysts don't like following closely at the seeds, fire talk, but the 5 best people have this cautious optimism about the sci fi or the because of the many failures in the past. because the many times you were laid down by talks about a potential fire and it didn't happen, or what we see was the thursday, india tax. but what we're seeing right now that the, the room or mail is working over time. there are so many leaks about what's going to happen, but no solid concrete. a news about when is going to happen. what are the details of the, of the, of the deal. but there are some positive signs that there is

a ceasefire deal as well as the prisoner exchange, the but let's remember that there is no deal until there is a deal. and that's for a lot of people. i think they have a droll, a good, a good grown up to this that, to this idea that not anymore than not taking anything serious until it is happening. otherwise, it's all just a waste of their time because the priority hasn't changed. what they want to see is an end to the war and into this may have the end of the bass feeling of civilians across the guns. and several times already we have believed as have the people in the gaza strip that the deal was imminent. and then it didn't pan out honey. my mood. thank you very much for your reporting there outside of the hospital in darrow, by the end of the central part of the gaza strip. and the situation in gaza is being made worse by bitterly cold weather, thousands of palestinians who have been forced from their homes are now living in the open without proper shelter. ever email for really has this report from

northern gaza. of these, what you the occupation forces have for as many civilians out of their homes, especially from the areas of deadly. he has a very few g camp and then she will use displays or movies. betty and they found no place to take shelter and then they went to that awesome, you know, the positive was one of please full of chosen laughter and wilcher then were coming in and having a great time, they ended up being displaced. but unfortunately, the, even the government, the park has been full and overcrowded with tense and the, the display civilians have taken refuge. and as you can see, civilians have still the same industry as you can see on the debris or bomb out buildings. as you can see, this is a street which was once a vibrant street and a remote and never heard

a northern central go strip. as you can see, the tents are full and the police are overcrowded. with many tents and the civilians are facing unimaginable sufferings due to the the own going rain and, and the winter has come. so the rain and the cold weather is making the situation more contrast. feel free for the children for that is the way we have it . civilians were displaced in the street. you're not a light into the dining room in time enough enough to somebody from the bottom and i kept that up. nothing will together with around 10000 people, tablets, i'm school in the north. these really forces all supposed to leave. so we left it from one place to another until we came here with those who arrived earlier, have that task. not until now. we have been living out in the open no money make god help us. oh yeah. and about lots of people just staying the streets suffering

to feel the suffering from the heavy rain. very cold weather. can you imagine that most of the tents here, hosts around the 100 people and we hope the different policies will reach interest? how can we help the william starts about before we meet? so we'll again say there's no an immediate cease fire tragedy is going to float into millions of, of tragedies, especially in this cold and freezing weather. the gaza is witnessing a blame for meeting just the wrong northern gods on palestine. israel has forcibly displaced thousands of palestinian families repeatedly. many have been sheltering and make sure of the tents as we just showed. but the rain and the cold, as we mentioned, are making things far worse. on a cell sharif, was it one of the displacement camps in gaza city and he sent this report in a hug metric is it? well, i love the order. we can see the shelter, housing, thousands of palestinian families, forced from the homeless in jabante,

a refugee camp bed last year. and wait time. you can also see family members who took shelter under rubble and debris because there are no sort of tempt fate for such a large numbers of people. some families have gone to destroyed buildings and houses hoping to find protection from the reins of the cold weather. thousands of families are now living in the streets, and the situation is catastrophic. the lives of these people are full of misery as they faced the winter reigns on cold war time, they don't have basic facilities. there are no toilets here. no food, no volta, hold on. there's literally nothing here for these families. people say pests and rodents all over the place and diseases a spreading. i'm children are the ones who suffer the most and the mobile phone. most of the children had told me they desperately need shoes because of the cold weather. and these randy occupation forces of preventive shoes being brought into an open cause. unfair for children can be seen everywhere in this place. if shoes can be found, they are very expensive. a sense of the siege,

the wall of the winter increased the misery of tens of thousands of palestinians have come here from different parts of northern cause. it is really made latrice as it has failed to intercept the mist i launched from me and the soon as you see me sooner or later exploded. this was near a public part in, in park in tel aviv medical sources say at least 14 people have been unlikely injured. these have repeatedly launch missiles towards israel's since the war and gaza began. and what they say, solidarity with palestinians and gaza before there was even time to get out the door, was exploded and ballistic lasalle in the right, behind our building. and all the windows blew in on the 1st 2nd floor of the whole area. and it was very frightening. social

0 the honda. so who does reporting on this from amman? i'm that you're there because the is really government has been thousands who are from operating, beg your pardon, uh, within israel and in the occupied west bank. so the, the who, the fees miss silas time was able to get through the is really defensive whenever you learn as well. this is not the 1st time a projectile launched by the cruces was actually able to avoid any sort of as really aerial defense is. in fact, this is the 3rd incident of its kind. just this week we saw a similar incident on monday just 2 days ago. and now, early this morning, these really authorities said they're looking into why this was not intercepted, but from the moment the sirens went off to the moment of impact authority say it was just about one minute. so they're trying to look into why those air defenses were not activated earlier. remember that throughout the course of this war,

the food, these have launched more than 200 missiles and more than a 170 drones into is really aerospace and territory. so they say that they're going to continue that, but these really say they're looking into why their air defenses have failed yet again. so the hood fees was my size, it is real regularly and they've been choking off a major maritime trade route towards israel. what's his real strategy to deal with all of this as well, just 2 days ago, if you'll recall, these early is conducted massive is really air strikes in the capital sun, all saying that they were targeting, who's the targets and military infrastructure there. they say that they're going to continue doing that benjamin netanyahu. in fact, while speaking said that he's quote, acting on behalf of the world that he, these is really strikes indian and are in order to deter the food, these from one hijacking. any sort of shipping routes to protect ships that are going through the red sea and not peninsula in order to get them to their

destination, but also to try and stop the air and drone strikes like we've been seeing. rather, the missile strikes and launches, but these really say that they would continue to strike yemen if that's what it's us. but the truth, these are saying that they are also not going to let up, but we have to know that this is a huge failure for these really security establishment as to how a ballistic missile of this size and capacity was able to evade any sort of air defenses. now israel is looking into the next steps on how to combat this. oh sure 0 is honda. so who reporting from amman? jordan, thank you very much. on the in germany, at least 2 people, including a young child, have been killed after a car plowed into crowds of christmas market. the at least 60 people were injured. some of them

critically. this happened in the city of magda berg, the suspect was arrested on the scene and an extensive police operation is underway . magda berg is about a 160 kilometers west of the capital berlin. the cities christmas market attracts thousands of holiday shoppers every year. and security cameras that the scene captured the moment the car went and it ran into the crowd. here it is. here. police were called to the market shortly after 7 pm. local time of the police surrounded the suspect authorities identified him as a 50 year old doctor. originally from saudi arabia, he 1st came to germany in 2006 and was previously unknown to security services. the german chancellor will laugh shows has issued a statement in a post on the x. he said the reports from magda burge, suggest something terrible has happened. my thoughts are with the victims and their families. we stand by their side and by the side of the people of magda burge. my thanks. go to the dedicated rescue workers and these anxious hours as it was done,

medicaid is inactive. berks at dominic, bring us up to speed on everything you've learned since the attack last night, 7 pm local time. and what we've learned overnight as well, is where i'm standing right now are several, this is where the car into the christmas market area, this particular area, these sort of time trucks cause and on so loud in here. so the siri police working towards is that the car drove deliberately into this area, which only trams can use and then made its way through this gap here, where the christmas market stops drove into the market and then went round the square, which is behind me, an open site behind me, the, the man, 50 urls, saudi arabia and dr. who'd been in this country since 2006, working as a psycho therapist,

or psychiatrist practicing doctor in this country. it's the saudi, or far as he's, have condemned. what he does or what he has suspected to have done. say though, at least there is reporting that they want the journal parties about him prior to the attack. we don't know when we don't know exactly what they said. interesting. they, the police raided the mans property where he had been living in down block, which is a town about 50 kilometers away from here. in the course of the last 3 or 4 hours, they were suspecting perhaps that might be something that some other evidence of criminal into their explosives, something like that. they used to drone, they used a robot. they didn't find anything particularly dangerous and then declared the areas safe as it was. he is clearly now in custody. and the fact that they have him in custody means that they will be able to, to work out his profile, to finalize some things that he had been doing. saying that he's being reported by

many different german news media that he had been posting on social media, all sorts of things, but things which didn't points in a particular direction, that he was in any way known to the receives full tendencies, which here in germany are referred to as this one is there is no evidence of that, or at least not so far. so lots of things being worked on in so far as developments this morning. i concerned it's as far as the suspect is concerned, i mean dominic, we read the tweet by the german chancellor. what else has been the reaction so far in germany? well, shock, clearly. all sorts of politicians expression expressing solidarity with the victims, condemning what took place. we know that mister shots and his colleague the interior minutes that's, that's the phase. i will be here this morning, driven time at some point to the next 3 or 4 hours. they say they are expected to

come here. they will the flowers, they will look at the sides to see where the incident took place and we know then separately they will be a service to commemorate those who being cool stuff in this incident at the cathedral here in this city. that's going to happen later. on this afternoon early evening, but in so far as the political ramifications are concerned, well, that's where this becomes particularly interesting. remember the election, the general election, it's taking place on february the 23rd of the 2 months from now. and we know that security was already an issue of a kind such a late the leader of the main opposition policy. the best of the christian democrats had said in the parliament this week, just come by said we are going to make security a big issue in the election. we want to restore security to germany, while events like this. sean, a new lights on thoughts like violence. you know, also that the lead candidates of the if day that's the alternative for germany. the

far right policy. that is very much against open migration integration. the said, when will this map this and she tweets, it's the point to make the is that the individual who is in custody, this is widely revolted, had posted things online, which suggested that he hop but sympathy for policies such as the f day. but that is still unconfirmed reports. things being widely reported that the police haven't commented on this and there's a lot going on there. thank you very much for all that reporting. we'll talk again, dominic came reporting from the side of the attack in germany. the multiple flyers have been reported across 3 districts of the russian city of cuz on following an early morning drone attack, the residents were evacuated from 3 different neighborhoods. russian

defense officials say they intercepted and shot down several ukrainian drones over the republic of pets or stand. emergency teams have been mobilized to provide food accommodation and clothing for the display people. the un security council has met at russia's request to discuss the war and ukraine last goes intensifying its criticism of west and military support. too keen on thursday, russian authorities arrested a foreign suspect in the killing of the top general, who reportedly admitted to working with ukrainians special forces definitively, new fully made of computers. the generic release of this crime supports fully the inhumane and terrorist nature of the car into crazy and leadership who just this and other crimes aimed against the russian military, creative and political a needs behind them all the west and mentors of kids who are trying not to pay attention to what's going on to you, and that's betraying the principles that they constantly proclaim on the international arena. and you shop of all of

a has more from the scene of that attack in moscow as the russian pub, in addition to the un, is raising the issue of that time against general carrie. love of the security council meeting on december the 20th right now we are at the sides of the explosion . head of the nuclear, chemical and biological defense, lift him in general equal to relapse and his assistants were killed. the explosion shook this quiet, neighborhood is se most very early in the morning of december, the 17th 6 plus of device was mounted on a screw to which was standing near the entrance. it when told when the 2 men were leaving the building. the last way shot to the windows, a neighbouring buildings, and destroyed the front door. now the cold and heavy pasha lifted, we can see bouquets of flowers in front of the entrance. a 29 year old citizen of his beckett's tone was detained as a murder suspect. during interrogation,

he said that he had been recruited by the ukrainians special services because they promised to pay $100000.00 and tape him escaped to europe. he used a surveillance cameras to monitor the general present sledging a piece of coal destination of ego carrillo and his assistant, a big failure of the russian special services. adding that ukraine is responsible for the task of the channel on the left to cover all of the i'll just be wrapped most of the still ahead on the al serra i'm some of the jobs in the neighborhood of damascus. and i'll tell you how the sights of a possible musgrave is a children's playground. it leaves deputy prime minister mateo self and he is found not guilty of a legally detaining language on the rest of your shift. i am, i'm a degrees and coffee data. i've been telling you about gunners in for my gold mining sector employee more than a 1000000 people, but leading the economy and devastating the bottom.

the fellows i certainly noticed shortage of wet to wendy and at times when few weather sweeping across europe at the moment, long line of clouds and rain, sleet and snow caught them nasty area fly pressure that boat bottom weaves damaging winds into a f. lee, the system here drifting its way across, safely pressing across into the bulk and there was cause coming back in behind within the next system, pushing across the northwest. the 3 sat stay where when the weather piling in, the gales of it goes into island. northern on it a good part of scotland. so much of a west and northern parts of england, a good positive, but wild as well, that will continue to drift further east, which as we go through the weekend,

let's assume whether to request much of funds pushing across the low countries into a jeremy and demo i noticed some firewood was a moving across grace into ducky i that will continue to slip its way further. east was through the eastern side of the med on sunday slots of try. why does that for ukraine down towards the balkans at this dais. lot of windshield weather into the alps. some wet weather. risk, queens pushing it across the north sea, the up towards the northwest and even northern parts of spain. good season, by the way, that elsewhere is fine and dry. the hard hitch, i mean to be could be interim head for 4 years, which is pretty much an electrical terms. now i didn't say that that would be for 40 years facing realities. what does donald trump's re election mean? pretty tough. it is most important that we focus on how to work with president trump thought provoking on self. and your wife is dealing with the climate crisis

is a crisis of crisis good times. but so it's not just $1.00 price is up via the story on talk to how does era the, [000:00:00;00] the

the watching else 0 reminder of our headlines. this our, the us is taking a step towards legitimizing the use story and administration by meeting its meter metal shut off. it has scrapped a $10000000.00 bounty for his arrest and says it will consider listing sanctions on syria. but it also says the new leadership will have to be responsive and demonstrate congress 1st $25.00 to look alice. things have been killed and is really attacks and gaza since friday. 7 children were among the dead and an attack on jamalia in northern gaza, which has been under his really military siege for over 2 months. at least 2 people have been killed in the german city of mac newberg. after a car plowed into crowds of christmas markets, at least 60 others are injured. some critically the fate of tens of thousands of prisoners and missing people remains one of the most harrowing aspects of the

syrian conflict between 20112020. for more than half a 1000000 people were killed in the war. the syrian network, the human rights, believes another 150000 are missing. in comparison to roughly 40000 people disappeared during the war in bosnia herzegovina. international commission on missing persons in the hague says there may be as many as 66 mass grave sites in syria and more being discovered, some a venture of aid reports from to them in a neighborhood in damascus. and a warning his report does contain disturbing details and images even in broad daylight. this is a dock face. potters, of the former regime laid bare in the streets and shows of what used to be holmes. this is to them, a neighborhood which people here see wasn't execution site. a square kilometer kills a little see from mazda 5 shot. i have. they tell us about domestic code. on this street. in 2013, the dozens were executed. people know for sure,

because the perpetrators feel themselves doing the did was the years later know can say the execution is very from the thoughts of mimicry. intelligence is about a minute to the national defense forces i in on monday. so just pick up the street and through blind and golf men into a trench and shop them one after the other. young and hold brought to the trench, been killed when regime soldiers smoked loft. we've gone through the full video because it's too gruesome. beyond that, french people keep finding bones. the entire neighborhood feels like an open graveyard that looks like somebody's pelvis. a job on these appear to be human domains collected by children and local residents here. when they find them, they collect them in one spot, and then they go and bury them with this as have been coming forward,

describing to us the quarters of things which happened into them and they say it was just one massacre. it'd be massacres in every street at every block. every. every minute that i was borne by the assad's wedding power, he says the shadow of the sides killed his son. by jazz, after many attempts we received him and buried. i saw it. you can imagine how many people were killed like my son, if they detain anyone here. he or she will not come out of live. this block was surrounded by concrete, an hour in barriers. his other son was also arrested. but after his release, he fits syria and now lives in jim pod i've moved on just to do much of to the heart. haven't seen him more than a decade high. that it wasn't the only one muscle that would doesn't their bodies in every block. they killed many people of those coming,

those torches displaced and killed us and told them on mohammed's is 14 years old and he's memorize the names of the former regime. segregation, there's, why are you not in school? this is no such because most of our school is closed, so i stop learning. i'll stay here and they can make money. i also saw with the bones, so the docs on come in the post aside, syria, potentially most graves are playgrounds, as well as the torture and executions. there are numerous hotter stories from the dumber and this is just one neighborhood. the mass graves are open and the evidence hasn't been for this. it will take years if not decades, for savings through here and for justice to be served. some of the driver does is 0 . the dumb, damascus. in the us is narrowly averted, a government shut down of the senate passed the funding bill. the temper really

pays for the federal operations. the bill is past it extends government funding to march that includes disaster release. if the bill had not passed, millions of state employees would not have been paid. the most recent government shutdown was in 2018 a often more than a month. that eco, hey, and explains what shutdowns mean for the american economy and millions of workers. it's a recurring uniquely american issue. in theory, the legislature should pass budgets, but the us congress rarely does. instead, they mostly fund the government for months or years at a time, effectively lurching from crisis to crisis. this time the money runs out the minute saturday starts. it's not uncommon since 1977. there have been 20 governments shut down, ranging from one day to 34. analysts say it's a sign of the polarization in congress and the country. we're probably going to really interested in things like tax cuts. donald trump has started talking about doing things like entitlement reform,

and democrats are much more interested in different kinds of social welfare spending and doing things like fixing college and it loans for students and helping people out with housing and so forth. so the parties are really far apart. policy wise, it's happening this time because incoming president, donald trump stepped into killed the bi partisan deal that had been reached. if a deal is not reached, it will severely impact the more than $2000000.00 federal workers around 40 percent are considered essential. that means they still have to show up to work, but no one gets paid until the deal is reached. millions of federal contractors will simply not be paid at all. less time the government shut down during the holiday. air travel was severely impacted because although they are considered a central many security workers at airports called in sick, that's a growing concern. approaching a busy holiday travel season, and travelers are reacting depending on who they voted for. they've worked out

a deal as the president comes in, present to be that's the problem, the man. he wants to change. they need a consistent leader. the one thing that trump is that is this the great job by taking care of business and then getting everything set up. we're getting ready to go. in previous shut down to the national park, the museums closed food inspection stopped, and people dependent on government vouchers to buy food can not apply or renew their benefits. and as people begin to file their yearly taxes, the internal revenue service will not be able to help money for the elderly and disabled will still be sent and the mail will still be delivered. but for millions of workers and travelers, the impact will be immediate. at a true hardship pedagogy, elda 0, washington, rus fine goal is a political risk analyst, and enjoys us from type day to discuss this. ross, thanks for your time to start by just explaining to our viewers once again,

why we are so often in the us on the verge of the government, shutting down how that's even possible and even baked into the system. a big thing to the system because the democrats and the republicans are often only able to reach a consensus on how to fund the government for months out of time or at most one year. so we don't fund the government over the long term. we don't reach agreements to fund the government over multi year periods. so every time this comes up again for a vote, there's a very 3 start parties and differences of what each side watch. and that makes it extremely difficult to reach an agreement. as we saw, the members of congress are also susceptible to outside influence. in this case, really opinions of you on march scan, president elect donald trump, help torpedo. what was a consensus bipartisan agreement among republicans and democrats in the house? so it's understandable that trump, once it is opinion to be taken into account, is going to be president in one month from now. but unfortunately, did torpedo the deal?

which meant that the deep deal had to be redone and some things fell off of the deal. and that's the only way they were able to pass something through the house and this so. so talk to us about the loan lux role here and what you think of it. he's the richest man in the world. we know he's going to play some role in the trump administration. his role is going to be to cut down government spending very drastically, but he is not yet in office. and what happened, as you just alluded to, is on wednesday there was a bi partisan deal to keep the government spinning, keep the government open. and he tweeted more than a 100 times about it. how this was terrible. it was criminal. and any republican who voted for it should be challenged in the next primary elections as in 2 years. and that effectively was the beginning of the, of, of that bill. what do you make of most of the role here? as you mentioned, the key things here that must be said, anyone who voted for a bad deal observed a primary and republican republicans in the house more so than to stand it. because in the, in the house they're up for re election over 2 years. they're very concerned about

a candidate challenging government or primary and being endorsed by trump, or now by being endorsed by much. so i think it's fair to say that at least in the upcoming year term period for the next year or 2, as republicans in the house and senate with full control of the house and senate as well as the white house as they go about a tax cut bill and other types of fiscal decisions. it's pretty clear that you on most who is going to have some enormous influence on what decisions members of the us congress make. this is giving the democrats a line of attack and i also wanted your opinion on that because since most cool initially led the charge against the spending bill, democrats have been calling him president musk uh vice president husk and they're making him out to be the man you know, taking, making all these decisions the problem for the democrats that we've seen that house during the minority and this session are going to be the minority and the next congress that begins in january. and they're also going to lose control of the senate. and the white house, so the democrats,

they could talk and they could criticize, but they also have to face the reality that they do not have the majority. i want to ask you about the content because the original spending bill, the one the most opposed and the one that donald trump then also oppose. it was more than 1500 pages long. it was this massive stack of paper that included spinning for lots of different things, right. and then the revised version of the bill, the one that is going to pass and keep the government open. it's a 150 pages long. so this is very much in keeping with what trump must going to republicans in general want to do, which is a streamlined, much slimmer government and much smaller government spending. this issue here is that for, for a long time were conservative house members, conservative republicans. what they really dislike is that these funding deals are always made at the last minute by the leadership and with a lot of unrelated news spending provisions thrown in there. and that's what causes

so much frustration by conservative house republicans. they don't like getting a 1500 page bill at the last moment that has a lot of new spending. in this case, some of the new spending was disaster relief. now that, that may be a very valid thing to spend federal money large, but what some of the house members really dislike is that these bills are not made to what they call the normal normal pre procedure. it's really made behind closed doors by the house republican and democratic leadership, and they fund the government, but they tend to also throw in a lot of additional spending. and understandably, some people object to that process. they want things to move to a regular process, which hearings an improper vatike. unfortunately, that's not where we are as an institution where we are as an institution, is that these things go down to the wire. they're made at the last minute. and typically they do have a lot of on related provisions, and that's what conservatives dislike is what most can trump dislikes hope was also angry, though, because it doesn't include a suspension of the debt limit. and that's something that the house republicans,

unfortunately for them because they don't want to have to be the ones who raise it . but next year they're going to have to raise the debt limit as well. a russ feingold, thank you very much. i was talking to you. thank you. at least the deputy prime minister materials. so being a has been found not guilty of illegally holding migrants on a rescue ship in 2019 when he was interior minister. andrew simmons has this is deputy prime minister had arrived for the verdict, anamosa gate. mateo salvi seemed calm in the media crush, but he had to wait a whole day before hearing he'd been clear. i don't know charges. now he's elated and feels vindicate said so could you pain that it's only has one and so has the concepts that defending board is defending the homeland opposing human smugglers. traffic is all foreign in g o's. protecting our children is not a crime, but a right. it took us some time, but we caught that. solving e have stopped
