>> hello and welcome to "live from paris." let's take a look at what is making news this hour. the news is coming in, the political deadlock with the lebanese government having just elected former army commander michel aoun, ending a 29-month presidential vacuum. political upheaval continues in the u.s. with the democratic leader in the center -- and the senate claiming the fbi may have broken the law in investigating

a possible link to hillary clinton. werere media outlets overd and another 10,000 the weekend in turkey. annette: we begin in the united states, with the fbi reportedly starting to review a newly discovered group of females that may related to the hillary clinton in mail server investigation. the inquiry centering on claims that the democratic presidential nominee improperly used a private email server while serving as secretary of state. without charges last july but resurfaced friday when the head of the fbi alerted

numbers of congress to the existence of emails that he said could be pertinent to that investigation. however, the democratic leader in the senate is saying the fbi may have broken the law. our correspondent has more. ok, sorry, we will get to that story in a moment. first of all, i have the director of the political forum in the studio with me. , this is in a move by the fbi heard what will likely be the fallout yak of john." and it is difficult to say -- what will likely be the fallout : hillary'spierre lead has declined to about 2%, so well within the margin of error. the most likely event is that it

will get a significant bump to donald trump. it remains to be seen how large. it puts the offense back on trump's side and puts clinton on defense, which changes the dynamics of the election. with 10 days to go, it is a tight period for hillary to come back. annette: certainly there was a great deal of euphoria on the part of hillary clinton's campaign because polls have been showing she managed to obtain a sizable lead ahead of donald trump. jean-pierre: that lead has been declining over time. or 12 point she had an 11 point lead. that declined to six points earlier by midweek, and down to two points by friday. the trend has been downward, tightening. but that is typical historically during presidential elections. the polls tend to tightness limit close to election day. she had a little bit of a lead. she still seemed to have a lead by electoral college vote, which is more important ultimately in

determining who is president. but as i said, this is prior to the news breaking and potentially this could have an effect. we already have the chicago tribune, the largest newspaper john kasich writing an article on saturday saying the democrats should demand that hillary clinton step down immediately. he also said the american news media should demand that she step down, given the revelations by the fbi. annette: at the end of the day, do you think it will have an impact on the way people cast their vote? jean-pierre: it depends on the news in the last week. we have seen people who are alive long -- who are lifelong democrats who came to washington , who worked for john f. kennedy, ended up being a speechwriter, even had bill clinton chairing one of the committees he ran.

he has written a piece saying he is voting for donald trump. he is a lifelong democrat and he feels that -- he is not in favor of trump, but he is voting for trump despite his reservations, despite his objections to policy, because he feels hillary has betrayed the democratic party's traditions, particularly in terms of being overly hawkish. annette: let's talk about with the fbi did. it is unprecedented. john pr: completely -- : completely unprecedented. there is a tremendous split between the fbi and the justice department. in terms of that the investigation of the clinton foundation. isentially what is happening the lead office on the investigators side want to pursue this more aggressively. the leaders in the justice department want to squash it. and atco why -- and atco --

annette: y? some are suggesting that perhaps there is politically close going on. what we have is the number two person in charge of the fbi, the deputy director, is a lifelong clinton ally, and his wife just received $465,000 from a clinton pac for his wife's campaign. some people are wondering if there is a little too much closing -- much cozy relationship between the clintons and these people. annette: for the fbi to do something like this is incredibly unusual. do you see a future administration putting measures and to place preventing the fbi from doing something like this? : there are already practices in place, so there is a revelation, that congress

could be in violation of two separate fbi practices. advance notice was given prior to release, and he chose to disregard that. a violation of the hatch amendment, political appearance in any political interference in a u.s. election. the problem is the deputy director of the fbi has an interesting dilemma. he has already reported to congress that the investigation was completed. he knows now that he is forced to reopen it. either way, he had a very difficult position because either he has to inform congress and potentially be seen as interfering in the election, or not inform congress and potentially be accused of some type of cover up. , if it proves to be substantive later. and annette: thank you so much. the news just coming in -- iraqi troops have entered the car am district of mosul, reported by

the reuters news agency. it is the third time after two weeks of fighting in the theounding area to dislodge islamic state. to lebanon now, where after 26 years of being forced into exile by the syrian army, the end to the political deadlock has occurred with lemony's parliament electing former army commander michel aoun as president. -- on a six months of being forced into exile by the syrian army, the end to the political deadlock has occurred during the parliamentary election of former army commander michel aoun as president. a longction will end

tell without a president. that has paralyzed lebanon post government and raised serious concerns over its future as the civil war wages on in neighboring syria. let's get more from our correspondent in beirut, michael. michael, the vote has gone through. was it as smooth as one had hoped? michael co not exactly. today parliament looks more like an unruly classroom full of school children. the first round, they were not able to achieve two thirds majority, so in the second round, 128 ballots were cast, that there are only 127 members of parliament. a third round was then cast, and 128 against. 128 again. but that does not say much. somebody cast a vote for "zorba the greek." the speaker said everybody sit down, stop

talking, and do their work. annette: what happens next, michael? next, mostll, likely, if all goes according to hariri will become the prime minister. it seems that will likely happen in the coming weeks. but in terms of any actual progress in lebanon. political gridlock is very much in place. march 14 is not as strong as it used to be, but divisions in lebanon are still there. issues such as the garbage crisis, structure in lebanon such as electricity is still -- most lebanese do not see that as really being fixed any time soon. annette: one thing that caused much concern among significant parts of the lebanese population is that islanders seem to be

supported by has blog. as a result, how is this going to achieve to bridge those positions in a very fragmented country? well, i do not think that is going to happen anytime soon. hezbollah very much had the upper hand and was able to put in someone who they wanted to, and with as weak as march 14 is being seen at these days, they want to secure the guy they wanted power. things may get better, it is hard to say. as long as the war in syria goes on, that very much is mirrored here in the sectarian divides. annette: michael downey reporting from beirut, thank you. further upheaval with police retaining the editor in chief of the paper "cumhuriyet."

came asst attentions authorities came in with a massive crackdown. both of the failed july bid by a rogue faction to oust president erdogan. ourier i spoke to correspondent in ankara, jasper mortimer. jasper: two. it champions the -- "cumhuriyet" is the leading antigovernment newspaper. those arrested will not the allowed to see their lawyers for five days, and human rights experts say that is an infringement of their rights. the istanbul prosecutor's office issued a statement saying the detainees were suspected of

committing crimes on behalf of based inlamic group the united states, which is suspected of being behind the july coup attempt. and on behalf of the pkk, the turkish kurd during the group. but the prosecutor's office says the detainees were suspected of crimes even if he is not a member of those groups. in other words, the prosecutor was admitting that there was no "cumhuriyet"ween and those groups. "cumhuriyet"n that is with the pkk is absurd. are aarchsts islamigroup. in our selar

newspaper. the pkk is a kurdish nationalist group. cumhuriyet" is a turkish nationalist paper. the states of emergency passed after the july coup is being used to intimidate the entire opposition in turkey, to wipe out medium freedom that choice about media freedom. annette: it is halloween, but not everybody is dressing up as a witch or a zombie. according to manufacturers in china and japan, donald trump and hillary clinton masks are doing biz business that are doing big business right now.

annette: a reminder of what is making news this hour -- the lebanese parliament has just elected former army commander michel aoun as president, ending a 29-month presidential vacuum. the political furor continues for the democratic leader in the senate claiming the head of the fbi may have indeed broken the gettingevealing it was a miss possibly links to hillary clinton. newspaper,mhuriyet" after 15 more newspapers were investigated and 10,000 civil service members dismissed over the weekend. now a deal in the energy industry, fernand. it has markets a flood of his money. >> it does. this is a huge deal between with thelectric,

despite the surprise disclosure from james comey that there may be evidence of new emails implicating hillary clinton, a declaration that came despite the department of justice warning you against it and telling him not to do it. >> the guardian is saying that it is likely to have little impact on clinton's presidential campaign. >> at least this late in the game. donald trump is using it politically. is also quite desperate this late in the game. he is using this as political fodder. but hillary clinton, it appears, will not be affected by it too much. the clinton team are blaming james comey for revealing this information so late into the campaign, saying it is the politicization of the fbi. but they do say it does not look like it is going to impact her very much ahead of next week's election. what is interesting is that "the daily beast" takes offense,

he was in a was -- tough situation. the story would have gotten out, spanked him because the american electors have the right to know about it before heading to the voting booth. annette: it has created a lot of reaction from the american meat >> one reaction in particular -- from the american media. reaction is from "the wall street journal," written by a conservative member at the ai editorial board. -- says it's these volume she said it speaks volumes about the clinton presidency, saying that a clinton presidency will upbuilt from the ground . furthermore, she says anyone who votes for clinton will be responsible for the blatant corruption that will follow. some very harsh words indeed.

annette: lebanon is getting a new president. >> back to the future is how the "lebanese daily star" puts it. old, andun, 83 years maronite christian, who is president back in the 1980's and 19 90's for 21 days. he was head of the traditional government between 1988 and 1990 before being taken out by syrian incidents, after which he sought exile for 14 years. this is a man who fought the syrians and yet has been allied with a pro-syrian group, hezbollah, for 10 years now, when he returned from france to lebanon from exile. he found the memoranda of understanding with the group through this alliance has resulted in hezbollah and michel aoun locking has a parliament. annette: the operation of

saint garros, launched by call for peace in that section of the french public. >> was launched in early december, has officially come to an end now. at the time, the minister defended that information. saying there was a risk of factional fighting from militia groups. the operation was meant to last just weeks. in the end, it lasted nearly three years. but as it ends, it has been accusations ofed french soldiers raping minors in camps annette:. finally, a change of pace, halloween of course being today. it is also known as "all hallows
