in the campaign who did so. i had no improper contacts. i have not relied on russian funds for my businesses. and i've been fully transparent in providing all requested information. let's get to washington now our correspondent phillip crowd the aids that infinite we just had. an agenda christmas strongly denying having colluded with russia or with any other foreign government debt during his father knows election campaign will that be enough that full investigations. no it won't be over for jared kushner yes and those investigations ons over either there is still so much more to come. for jared kushner tomorrow is another day because on choose say hell be testifying in front of members of the house intelligence committee. today was the senate intelligence committee so well have to also similar maybe the same questions again. and we don't yet know exactly how he answered those questions what we have

is an eleven page introduction a testimony from him. that he released early this morning and we have what you just saw what he said outside of the west wing of the white house. defending himself the transcripts of what happened today and what happen tomorrow of course we do not have yet. then there are other members who are involved it's not just jared kushner who's been questions on wednesday the s. senate judiciary committee asked for. paul manifold the former campaign manager for donald trump and donald trump junior the son to testify in public now they would necessarily testify in public we don't know exactly what's going to happen there yet. but they will be interviewed or at the very least will hand over some documents. that's what we have for some

of the individuals involved here then the investigations wheelbarrow three all together. the one led by yee testimonies looking at what's being said in front of the senate the house. putting it all together and will come up with the conclusion until that conclusion is out and it says that there was no collusion. that will be speculation and they will probably be daily stories about this there is no other way around it right and all of that speculation and that investigation indeed has now reached trumps in a circle about but i mean. this russia scandal has been hanging over his administration for six months now is that what's behind tees port primo right six. then i would know. the when you look at sir some of the polling recently at the in russia story and the possibility of collusion between the trump campaign. and russia is not what is occupying american's minds there are many many other matters and quite a few of them will be important over the next few weeks a healthcare reform bill.

might make its way through the senate that's as important to americans tax reform is something promised by the. trump white house that is important to americans tribute to the russia story is not necessarily but that does not mean it is not important because if the conclusion is collusion. well that would be very very serious and date and put would put the whole presidency of donald trump in jeopardy. that is why it is being covered so closely by u. s. media and of course by international media as well as for the approval ratings that very very low indeed. and what they do is they make for a very moody and frustrated white house and that includes the us president himself. a very frustrated man that's at the concentration is more on the in russia story rather than what he and the white house

believed to be major achievements they have made. over the locks and last six months. those achievements are pretty difficult to prove and that certainly has not been much of a legislative success for the trump white house in the first six months. there have been no really no now the reason why the rush a story will be in the headlines again over the next few days weeks months years potentially. it's not that i just said is infinite thanks very much indeed for a crowd that that reporting from washington. now members of poland's ruling party say they're surprised after the president announced he was vetoing toodles that would have given politicians the power to appoint judges. those proposals spots a week of mass protests and the threat of eu sanctions with many fearing the noodles would mark the end of poland's judicial independence. alexander harris has this report. victoria's protesters are

celebrating polish president andres do does it surprise decision to veto two bills that would have reorganized the country's judiciary. money was not in both of them my opinions president did very well in that sense he that's floating i mean i think in his scanning of tony. independence from the lone justice arctic chairman seems to because it's. this tangible sign of their own impact for them the pro democracy demonstrators are now demanding that due to veto the third and final bill on the matter. that bill would allow the government to fire the heads of lower courts and appoint new ones. blevins ishiba fifty that with the sign even one of these bills. products would be the end of the separation of power and heard and so whether. as you can see you want to review does is what we are fighting for the courts to be free and independent from politician. why he should veto audrey bills without? judas spokesman has said that the president is planning on signing the third bell. but the polish government has increasingly come under

pressure from the european union and the us state department to protect judicial independence. urged on by former polish president lech walesa credited with helping to bring down communism. demonstrators are vowing not to give up. of more than i'm joined by my sins of our off ski the former director of the polish institute for international affairs thank you for joining us. tonight's and first of all i don't see president's decision. add to veto these noodles motley and so all of the government's attempts to overhaul the judiciary and bring in these controversial changes. no no no seller i well i think three loads that the government that submit things. to be i've got to be critical sick belcher. he vetoed till that. well because what he didn't all the third while the beats sweeping powers to the government to nominate to a job just to block on chords. and you better what goes

ahead needs. robert well. because we couldn't do it should be but it's good because it would be great. also horrifically question. what will the president will do after he beat does he said that he? would veto so hot what submitted declared. well but he will now and submit his own proposals obeyed the question is what were his own proposals we i did it wr just to stop them do you buy into that or do you. do you think this is something els. i think that that bullet number all thoughts go see very. well schooled pseudo be. skill brought those guys wouldn't surprise me but wouldn't. and i think because the price does not believe. all i'd i think they did not expect you to hundreds of

thousands of people to come out of the street good. to say about the we don't need exists repellent democracy needs to be qualified for the exit. all i know i need to scale approaches with lou. my stupid. while we. although a couple bags are a lot of people who were sort of set the ride were closed government but not necessarily. yeah yeah called a brutal and just well the presidents calculated. we fall but if he wants to think about re election in two years through time. you would use to sell some degree of independence. rob well just to say which you see does. well i thought why bother t. but do you think this will end the protest now ours is a movement that will continue. so the second cruise when the protests in poland's

ends at all will is this a move in the will continue now because they clearly has a lot of public anger is in there. i i think the default is all alone tribute we could borrow because since the press that. we don't we don't couple of walls and he left the third one month chance the level of mobilization. world what people say. odd which is what morris it because i think that maybe it's a kind of a tactical moves. almost solid wall just this. he sold out. i. do you get paid to give to take some energy out of the process it go but yes. marcin deborah c. thank you very much and it is open to us. thank you. now to take us seventeen people who work for a newspaper that is criticize the government have gone on trial for terrorism charges

countries could now be on the cards. and deal perhaps is in the works because what we know at the moment. is that israel has said since the head of the shin base. its. security service to amman to mate with his colleagues there is a strong generally speaking written perhaps not right now. strong security cooperation between the two countries and he's going there with some deal in hand perhaps we've heard from a jordanian official. that the jordanian king might be prepared to consider releasing the security god if israel would remove. the middle the sexes they are so controversial metal detectors from outside the al aqsa mosque compound. since they were installed over a week ago now and muslim worshipers have been praying outside the mosque in the streets rather than going through them to pray inside the mosque. itself so effect deal is done interestingly that had been. i'm highlighted earlier in the day by both israeli and palestinian commentators now

hearing confirmation possibly. from jordan that that's the deal in the works that have only three or four more days till the next friday prays i think that before they in. they want this deal done. the israeli security got back and certainly some quiet restored to the al aqsa mosque required that's exactly what we're hearing from all took just about thd city for a moment we've seen increasing. tension every nights there are more out of the the for is the evening prayer is there a great the riots of greater intensity rise here. so just speaking just in this region with same to our taxes well by palestinians on israelis we've seen palestinians killed. in those riots that

get more and more intense that's just looking locally. we've seen that ryan we've seen protests in net egypt in turkey and in jordan that's just looking regionally but this unlocks a mosque is the food holiest site in islam. this is. up a site that's important all over the world to one and a half billion muslims people who might not care about israel and palestine. do you care about what happens on this mosque so yes it respected us speakine and and now the taliban is claiming responsibility for a car bombing in western kabul. thirteen nine people were killed more than forty wounded in one of the worst attacks in the afghan capital. in the last few weeks blast occurred in a part of the city where many of the mainly shiite has our community lives the taliban.
