in four weeks donald j. trump will be sworn in. until then barack obama is officially commander in chief. but unlike most other presidents in waiting, trump jumped in with both feet to one of the most complicated, difficult foreign policy issues. he has been calling to scuttle a resolution at the u.n. >> tonight a dispute over peace, politics and the role of the u.s. presidency may be coming to a head at the united nations. just hours before the security council was set to vote for a resolution calling for israel to stop building settlements, the ballot was cut off.

averting a potential clash between the future and current u.s. presidents over israel. >> we will have to wait and see what the results of the consultations are to see if the text moves forward. >> it demands israel immediately and completely cease settlement activities calling it a flagrant violation under international law. cnn learned that president obama was prepared to let the resolution pass, either by abstaining or voting in favor of it. the u.s. has traditionally seen jewish settlements in areas controlled by palestinians as an obstacle to a peace process but never gone so far in aun vote. the move would have been seen by many as a provocation. a parting shot at benjamin netanyahu with whom president obama has strained ties. around 3:00 a.m., netanyahu took to twitter writing in english and appealing for a u.s. veto. before the white house could announce its support for the resolution, this morning, president-elect trump sent out this statement calling for a

veto and saying peace between israel and palestinians needs to be negotiated not through the imposition of terms by the united nations. a senior israeli official tells cnn the israeli government reached out to trump to weigh in after failing to persuade washington to cancel the vote. then egyptian president ceasee the vote on hold. ron dermer who tweeted israel appreciates the clear call from donald trump. >> the united nations is not a friend of democracy. >> reporter: his statement appeared to signal his desire to shift u.s.-israel relations. during the election he said he would move the embassy to jerusalem and he denounced u.n. involvement in the peace process in an interview with wolf blitzer. >> this has to be a deal between the palestinians and israelis. >> reporter: trump says he wants to be seen as an honest broeker in the mideast. >> i'd love to be neutral if

possible. it's not probably possible because there is so much hatred. so much going on. >> thelise labott, cnn, the sta department. for more joining us now republican consultant john thomas, international law and u.s. foreign policy josh -- how extraordinary is this split we are looking at when the incoming administration and the outgoing administration on an issue like this, which is so crucial in one of the biggest foreign poll polcy challenges for any administration. >> there's no doubt it's unprecedented. reality is there is a certain etiquette and respect that the incoming president should have with the outgoing president. according to the constitution,

president obama is president a whole 29 more days. this underscores the clash that we are seeing as president obama starts to leave office and donald trump comes in. i think it undermines the transition of power and the fact that president obama is still commander in chief. >> so, john, there's a tradition, one president at a time. >> this is a major decision that donald trump will have to live with over the next four years. trump is a dealmaker at heart. not only did he write "the art of the deal" this is something he is passionate about. look, israel's excited about what he is weighing in. i would expect -- this -- donald trump will not be a shrinking violet now or as president. >> i think the question is how he handled it. if he felt passionately, think perhaps a phone call. >> the israelis maybe excited. the palestinians are not.

to many other arab countries around the world. josh, to you, i want to look at the resolution which got pulled by the egyptian president. the language seemed to be incredibly broad. in theory it meant that east jerusalem would be occupied territory which would mean the old jewish corridor and the western wall would be off limits for israelis. >> yeah. the resolution is broad but largely comports with what the international community, including the united states believes regarding israel settlements that they are illegal under international law and every administration since the '70s, republican and democratic alike has espoused that view. it's important to note had this american abstention gone forward, it's not without precedence. in the waning days of the bush administration, the bush administration abstained on a

resolution calling for a cease fire in the war between israel and hamas. there would have been a precedent here and this may have been a parting shot by president obama and also may have been his desire to cement his position which has been contentious issue throughout his presidency. >> i want to say with what previous presidents have done. there's a lot of criticism that president obama has not been hard enough on israel but the balm administration stopped every anti-israeli resolution at the security council and going back to johnson, way 0 reagan either approved or allowed to pass 21 resolutions. it seems if obama had allowed this one to go through it would have been the diplomatic message to netanyahu. >> yeah. it would have been a strong signal to netanyahu. i think also it kind of

underscores the calculus the president has demonstrated. in 2011, the united states vetoed a similar resolution. the main logic was that if this resolution were to go forward, it would be an impedement to the american mediation and israeli conflict being solved. now we have seen such a stalemate since 2014, the calculus may have been the president wanted to cement his position that israeli settlement building is an active obstacle on the opposite side. >> there is a process here. you have this president elect making calls, picking up the phone, calling other world leaders. in this case, egyptian president el-sisi. it does not seem to be keeping with what other presidents in waiting have done. >> at this point, president obama is a lame duck.

really, we're in president-elect trump thinks is changing times in the world and we saw the conversation with taiwan. >> we will get to that in a moment. >> i don't think the obama administration has been a friend to israel and not just issues with the u.n. allowing iran to get nuclear weapons. israel is scared to death. i'm sure they welcome the action by president-elect trump. >> obama is not a lame duck right now. he seems to be passing -- >> left and right. >> i guess the question is how does president-elect trump want to act and be president four years from now, hopefully, fingers crossed when a democrat is coming in to the white house and there's a transitional period, will he think of himself as a lame duck and let the incoming president walk all over him? those are real questions that need to be asked. >> these need to be coordinated

between the knesset and this is part of the statement released on twitter. >> i hope it will abide by the prins principals set by president obama himself in his speech at the u.n. in 2011. peace l come not through resolutions but direct negotiations twoon the two parties. >> almost word for word what the president elect posted on facebook. >> it is a serious concern. it could be easily inflamed by the position that trump is taking on the complex. trump's choice for u.s. ambassador to israel, david

friedman, koufld himself instigate and encite violence on the kumrular street. this is a person that trafficked in hate, islamophobia and called for the dismissal, discarding of the two-state solution. trump's position, which may bolster some in israel itself is one that's really dangerous and reckless. it could lead to an inflammation of violence or a third incidence of violence. it is a huge situation going forward. >> thank you for being with us. i want to move on to the issue of nuclear weapons. the president elect could be rewriting more than a half century of foreign policy when it comes to nuclear capabilities. 140 characters donald trump has suggested it was time to expand the u.s. nuclear arsenal. details from pentagon correspondent barbara starr.

>> we need to strengthen the military potential of strategic forces especially with missile complexes that can reliably pen trait any missile defense systems. within hours president-elect trump tweeted the united states must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes. the two declarations raising the specter of an arms race renewed. donald trump briefed on the need to modernize the aging infrastructure. during the second presidential debate, a hint of his thinking.

>> russia is new in terms of nuclear. we are old. we're tired. we're exhausted in terms of nuclear. a very bad thing. >> reporter: nuclear weapons are limited by treaty. russia has 7300 warheads the u.s. just over 6900. the obama administration has given up on the idea of a u.s. pledge for no first use of nuclear weapons, worried the idea could embolden russia and china. u.s. dismantling the own u.s. arsenal has slowed in recent years. putin's nuclear vow came as he boasted of russian military superiority after a year which saw successful russian hacking of the democratic national committee but the russian military, sustained air strikes in syria and continued occupation of crimea. >> today we are stronger than any potential aggressor.

i repeat, any aggressor. >> the trump transition team issued a statement saying the president elect was really referring to noourk proliferation, trying to make sure nuclear weapons are kept out of the hands of terrorists and rogue nations, but it is still not entirely clear whether mr. trump supports more nuclear weapons. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. it is one thing to use twitter to get the message out which i think everyone thinks is a good thing but there are some issues like maybe nuclear anilelation that you don't get in 140 characters. >> it is jaw dropping and down right scary and dangerous and donald trump's twitter account is becoming a national security threat. the reality is it it is one thing when you are a candidate, another thing when you are president elect but when you are sitting in the oval office, as commander in chief, theoretically you could start a war with 150 characters.

it is scary. >> first of all, it is 1 refreshing to hear from the president elect rather than to mouthpieces. further more, this illustrates the dramatic difference between the last administration and the current administration, not just using twitter but president obama's idea of applying pressure to putten is telling him to kit it out. donald trump says we will arm up. donald trump understands there is peace through strength. part of it is rebuilding our military and nuclear infrastructure. >> you said the tweeting is refreshing, maybe not. based on the tremendous cost and cost overruns i have asked boeing to price out a comparable f-18 super hornet. next thing you know, 1.2 billion dlds knocked off of the lockheed martin shares. >> this seems to be a scandal in

the waiting here. isn't it? someone gets inside information on what is happening, they cash it in. the shares go up and down. >> it is hard to speak to that. i can tell you other defense contractors that he has picked fights with, the stocks rebounded in 24 hours. remember, has been elected to be the ceo and chairman of the board for the american people. the people that will benefit from a tweet like that are the taxpayers. look at it like the carrier, he is putting his thumb on the scale and picking winners and losers. >> he is competitively bidding it. >> will he continue to pick winner and losers, as president. whether conflict arises? >> you can make a lot of money in 24 hours if you know what way the share prices will go. a passenger removed from the flight abused her, yelling about

her father donald trump. everyone seems to agree this guy is a moron and it was good he was taken off. a lot of people raised the question, why is ivanka, daughter of a billionaire, soon to be first daughter, her father is about to be president, why is she flying on a commercial airline, a budget commercial airline and sitting in coach? >> i thought the same thing. i have flown jetblue, it's not that bad. they have a lot of leg room, john. but i think the bigger takeaway besides flying coach which is a head scratcher but the last obsession they can't get over that donald trump is the president and they are not just taking it out on him but his family. ivanka trump is one of the examples people look to as he is a good dad and raised a good kid. >> this is one thing we can agree on. she wasn't on the ballot. it was her dad. he is not saying the things he

said throughout the last two years. >> leave the families alone. >> yeah. >> on that note we shall leave it there. a short break. next on "newsroom l.a.," the hunt goes on for the main suspect in sunday's terror attack in berlin. what do officials know about anis amri before his deadly rampage. and how one man rescued his mother from a firework explosion in 34ex coe. dsh snoo hey, evan. so, you're stuck at a work thing. with directv and ayou can stream all your favorite shows without using your data.

. welcome back. german authorities may have foiled another terror plot days after a deadly christmas market attack in berlin. two brothers have been arrested in essence suspected of plotting an attack on a shopping mall. authorities say anis amri's fingerprints were found on the truck which plowed in to a crowd killing 12 people. we are joined live with the latest. what can you tell us about the two arrests? what were they allegedly planning? >> these arrests were two kosovo

brothers, they were arrested in connection with a plot against a christmas market near the dutch border. police sent some of their reinforcements to that market to make sure that nothing happened. that's about all we know at this point. there's no indication we have heard yet of a connection with what has happened here in berlin on monday with 12 people killed in that truck attack. john? >> as for anis amri, the alleged driver of the truck, what are the details we are finding out about his ties to isis? >> he has been connected with a group led by what they call a faceless preacher who -- this is an organization, this is a group that not only trains it

indoctrinates. it has a boot camp program where they go backpacking for ten miles. it's, in part, led by a german serb. they are training to wage attacks. anis amri was connected with these guys. that raises the question, why didn't they arrest this guy earlier? >> thank you. chris burns live in berlin with the latest. for more, we are joined with contributor and retired fbi agent steve moore. first to those arrests overnight and we expect more arrests in the hours and days ahead. >> yes, i would. what they have done is lowered the bar on what's arrestable. they are looking at amri's situation, saying we made a mistake. we were holding things to too high of a standard before we

intervened. now what i think they are doing is changing the rules under which they operate and we will find a lot of investigations that are at the point where a y amri's was. >> look at what happened in the united states with the orlando shooter or tsarnaev brothers and in this case amri. they have people under surveillance, an ongoing investigation but for some reason these people are not brought in and arrested. even last month counterterrorism believe believed he was preparing an act of violence against germany. why can't they go from surveillance to stopping these attacks. >> they are waiting for the big hit. they say i believe he's going to do something. so let's watch him and catch him in the act and wrap everything up and looks good. in the real world, what people have to realize and what some

have realized all along is these terror cells plan and finance their act with small crime, credit card fraud, cigarette smuggling. when you have someone doing small crimes you can't afford to wait and see what they are doing because they may do it before you figure it out. >> we have a situation with the german police. they detained the wrong guy and 24 hours later they found amri's identification in the truck. there seems to be a lot of criticism that they bungled this. >> this astounds me. the germans are so meticulous but this may have been a case where they were too meticulous. they may have started at one end of the truck and gone through inch by inch. i get that. that is what you do for a prgss. but when you have something

ongoing you can't do that. you have to do a macro search right away. you have to see what's in the truck and even if it means possibly suburbing evidence. and then go to a smaller search, small things like is there change on the floor. and finally let the microscopic people come in and look for dna and fingerprints. >> why would he have left his wallet in the truck? there's a lot of conspiracy theories that say it doesn't make sense. >> it does make sense. he didn't think he was going to live through this. he believed he was going to die and you are not afraid if your wallet is not in your pocket and it's on the floor. when he realized no one is here and walked away he is not going to the truck for it. >> he has connections to what

could be isis cells in germany, support, resources and open borders. at this point, would you suspect he's in germany, italy, poland, where would he be? >> my blink on this is he is still in the area. that's where his support is. if you send him to tunisia he is a fish out of water. his support, his cell is protecting him or friends of friends are protecting him. this is the only place where he can be and be supported. i don't think he's out of the area. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. a short break. when we come back, california not going down without a fight. top democrats say they will do whatever it takes to oppose trump's controversial campaign promises. you are watching cnn live around the world. ways wins.

brazil, while trump won the country, california went more left, voting in a super majority of democrats to the state house, growing more progressive on issues like the environment, minimum wage, gay rights and immigration. >> will not let you down by backing down. >> reporter: opening his final term as senate leader he led the charge on bills protecting undocumented pimmigrants sendin a message to washington. >> they want to move forward with massive deportations we don't have to help them. >> no more. >> trump has pledged to take away federal funding from so-called sanctuary cities that protect undocumented immigrants. >> cities that refuse to cooperate with federal authorities will not receive taxpayer dollars. >> reporter: with all major california cities declaring themselves sanctuaries, de leon knows houns hundreds of millions of dollars are on the table. >> it is my hope it won't be

retributi retribution. >> they are creating a hysteria in our state. >> the head of a conservative grassroots group says state lawmakers ignoring the 4 million californians who voted for fr p trump. >> we should be a state that upholds an respects the law. that's what our lawmakers should be focused on in sacramento. >> they say it is more than california. it is about setting an agenda, protecting the other americans who did not vote for trump. >> they can look to california. >> in the battle of trump. >> the battle for the values we hold dearly. so the answer is yes. >> reporter: de leon has a unique perspective on immigration. his mother was a single mother raising three children on her own. and that upbringing informs him as a lawmaker and it is not just him that is powerful latino politician in the state the humanitarian aid of the

california assembly and incoming attorney general are both latino. john? >>. the death toll has risen after a massive explosion at a firework fireworks market in mexico. >> he was there, he thought he was dead but thank god he wasn't. >> reporter: when miguel heard the explosion on tuesday, his instinct told him to run but he couldn't leave behind his 84-year-old mother. >> he went back to help her.

that's when something struck him in the arm. his mother then fell down. >> reporter: struck by debris they waited for rescue together an he remembers thinking his single mother never abandoned him. this time, he was not about to abandon her. >> then his nephew and some other co-workers came in and they had to take him out carrying him and his mother, as well. >> she is in the hospital in stable condition now. the two had been selling fireworks as one of the vendors in the firework market north of mexico city. days ago, state officials called it one of the sate r safest in latin america and he lived through the blast that rocked the market in 2005 and 2006. i asked him if he would go back to work? he said yeah. that is what they live off of and the industry they will keep working.

>> he lives a mile away from the fireworks market. this is a market that sells 100 tons of fireworks annually. this industry, he explains, defines who they are, who he is. his family depends on it. so he plans to continue this life. once he can overcome the physical and emotional pain. >> he is crying for himself and the lives lost and all the injured that he saw there, not himself. >> reporter: layla yant yag g. a short break. when we come back, no need to break up with facebook friends, maybe just take a break. why social media might be your worst enemy during the holidays. afoot and light-hearted i take to the open road. healthy, free, the world before me, the long brown path before me leading wherever i choose.

do and how you feel about yourself. >> those people that put their happy pictures on facebook, the martha stewart home scenes, i think they are ax murderers or something. the photos are hiding a deep, dark secret. >> right. why are you putting in so much time tailoring your image on-line. >> it is people gaining self esteem throughputing out stories. it is a highlight reel for their life. the great moments, best hits and makes them feel good about themselves but does detriment to other people. >> the trick here is -- the point is not to lurk. just to go through everything, but engage. that sort of -- >> because when you scroll through the feed and you are doing passive reviewing on facebook that is when it depresses people. you are not actively socializing. people trying to justify that

on-line socialization is the same. if you are scrolling that is not really engaging. set a time limit on facebook so you are on 20 minutes and shut it off. literally set a timer. >> no one likes to post mundane stuff but that can be emotionally good in what way. >> it captures what our lives are about. we have mundane moments, great moments, horrible moments. you don't want to be the person that always posts horrible moments but post a mundane moment, me hanging out at the coffee shop working late. that's a normal time. i'm going to do that next month and start an example for people. >> it is wrong to look for people you went to school with and who lost their jobs, may have been divorced, put on weight, lost their hair, hypothetically speaking here? >> that's not good either. >> oh, really? >> no. >> why? >> maybe if someone is your mortal enemy and you are glad

they are not doing well. that's bad, too. even when you compare down you feel guilty about it. there is a bit of guilt that i'm happy this person is not doing well and that messes with you. >> oh, there's guilt. >> you don't have it? >> i never do that. >> me either. >> the solution is to get off facebook. it seems simple. >> at the same time, off black and white view of life. you can't stay off of social media completely. and the results of facebook don't justify facebook. some apply to twitter or instagram. i think it is limit your time. stop posting the highlight reel and don't passively watch people's feeds. >> get a real life. >> hang out like this in person. >> thank you so much. up next, if you are tired of spreading holiday cheer, aren't we all, you will probably like fessty v
