tillerson and defense secretary jim mattition were opposed to the decision and concerned that moving embassy would endangerer american diplomats and troops in the middle east and the decision temporarily de rails israeli palestinian peace process because while israel is celebrating announcement th theres with protests in gaza strip and palestinian leaders calling for three days of rage against the move. >> president promised to work for to stay resolution of pal stipulateian issue and trump declaration today recognizing jerusalem as capital of israel nullifies whole intent behind two state resolution to have jerusalem as shared capitol between the two country. >> i all call on all countries to seek peace to john the united states in recognizing jerusalem as israel capital and to move their embassies here. i share president trump's commitment to advancing peace between israel and all of our neighbor

palestinians. this has been our goal from israel's first day. >> and un security counsel called for a meeting. world leaders came out including theresa may who said it was unhelpful and french president says france does not approve. that was bad and pope francis express add large over the decision vrn the pope called jerusalem a sacred city to jews, muslims and asked for them to be respeced and they back a long process will continue to go on for a long while. >> the other big headline in d.c. sexual misconduct aelss in congress. al franken will be announcing resignation tomorrow according to minnesota public radio. a he franken denied those report. majority of democrats are calling

step down. calls or resignation were renewed after another woman came forward saying franken tried to forcibly kiss her. >> you need to draw a line in the sand and say newspaper of it is okay or acceptable and we as elected leaders should absolutely be held to a higher standard. >> franken has announcement planned for tomorrow which multiple media outlets reporting will be resignation. official twitter account disputing that. senator franken is talking with family at this time and plans to make announcement in d.c. tomorrow. any reports of final decision are inaccurate. i can not imagine these thoughts have not closed his mind at some point during the whole ordeal. push to remove franken comes a day after john conyer as announced retirement. he's accused of sexual misconduct and yesterday conyers endorsed son john conyers iii we're learning 27-year-old was arrested and not charmed for domestic violence this

the la country da reportedly didn't pursue the case because it could not be provrn and the victim's injury was not an accident. >> in congress lawmakers use the another bill to combat sexual harassment. it would ban employers from holding employees to force arbitration clauses. it's fine fript and contracts you sign and think nothing of. it these clauses are said to stop sexual misconduct vick is items about in the workplace. >> this is why we have to addressen sti constitutionalizeed sexual harassment. that's what we're here to talk about today. for every woman everywhere who knows exactly what sexual harassment feels like and looks like is that the why we're standing here. >> and our legislation is simple and straightforward. all this would do is say that if you were one of 60 million americans who have mandatory arbitration as condition of your employment we think you ought

we think you ought to have option to take your case to court. >> and we have about talking so much about misconduct not just in congress which makes it fitting the women coming forward were named time magazine person of the year 2017 time calls them silence breakers and they seen the cover that made rounds this morning announced in cover features of faces of five women and arm of sixth representing women who yet to come forward and speak out. time wanted to recognize the me too # movement and editor in chief said it was fastest move in decades. >> with everything else going on it's easy to forget congress has a deadline. friday, midnight. as in this friday. as in like 48 hours from now. president trump told reporters today a shut down could happen and blamed on democrat stance of immigration and house minority leader fired back saying in tweet president trump surprise only person talking about government shutdown and democrats

hopeful president will be open to agreement to address the urnl enter needs of american people and keep government open. i'll sure that meeting tomorrow with chuck and nancy and president trump and paul ryan is going to go just great. remember this is second attempt at sit down with chuck and naptiony. last week democratic leaders were supposed to meet with president and republican counter parts and they cancelled after a mean tweet from president. he instead spoke to media with two empty chairs next to him and gop leaders looking to push through legislation that keep the government open for how long you ask, months, years, no. two more weeks. it's giving more time to resolve differences and possibilities of a shut down right before christmas. some democrats are calling for solution to daca to be included in any legislation to keep the government open and remember with we had big tweet that came out some agreement that chuck and nancy and president came up with some deal it was all about daca. and then turns out there was never a deal in first place. that was on mind

outside the capitol today. remember president trump ended daca for immigrants back in september and gave congress six months to act to come one a fix. some tell dreamer not worry they replaced daca but it still has not happened. democratic merzp congress were among those that spoke to the crowd yesterday. >> we will not rest until not only the dreamers are put in a safe place, but their moms and dads and uncles and brothers and signaturesers are put in a safe place [ applause ] when classmates and co-workers and neighbors and people we have grown up near and dear and around when these families believe that they can hose their jobs and their healthcare this is an emergency. >> she afterwards ralliars demonstrated on the u.s. capitol buildingself in what was called a massive show of civil disobedience and capitol police were there to lead groups of protesters who ignore

area. some democrats want a daca f fixen including any deal to keep the government open past friday and white house wants tighter immigration controls and increase border funding in return including wall and immigration hard liners say democrats are linking ib use that have nothing to do with each other. >> i'll shut down the government for who illegal aliens broke the law and parents broke the law to bring them here it's not only not fair it'ser reresponsibility. people ought to call them out on. it their priorities are all screwed up. >> daca supporters say the protest ramps up as it winds down 9 days left until daca expire permanently in march. >> moving to russia new developments today. former national security advisor michael flynn told a business associate that sanctions against russia would be ripped up early in presidency. that's according to whistle blower account made public via letter from congressman elijah cummings and whistle blower

president. >> lawmakers votesed to effectively kill green resolution with 364 voting to table it and 58 democrats voting to move ahead and democratic leader nancy pelosi said "now is not the time to consider articles of imp impeachment and any articles should be put on hold until there's evidence of impeachment offense. >> we'll talk about al fr franken and sexual misconduct against politicians and david brown is here and we'll talk more about him when "the final 5" comes back right after this his

>> what a dvrps a few days makes. le ier this week john conyers and franken seem to stick it out in coming gress despite all allegations of sexual misconduct. conyers is gone and all signs point to al frank enjoying

tomorrow. here's our friend david brown joining us. >> see you get a around after applause. >> i love it jim, thank you. >> this is not going way any time soon regardless of what side of the aisle you're on. >> i think that's right we're at a pretty significant inflection point for democrats and republicans this terms of whether or not political parties can afford to ignore this kind of behavior and whether or not we'll hold members accountable if in fact they committed this kind of misconduct. >> misconduct, harassment, whatever you say this is nothing new. we learn story of fun and confidential fun and now we're hearing names all trickling out from this coming from both sides of aisle what's was striking how you see different reactions on each side of aisle and how you deal with this. >> i think you framed it well. look, senator ben sas of nebraska republican senator dweeted i think today criticizing his party

he called political sxeedcy in his decision and rnc decision to support moore campaign in alabama despite two weeks ago disconen continuing support because of numerous allegations of sx you'll misconduct. there is now a scuts any here and they're fravrming think has to be i standard as to whether or nto are you as republican party going to be rip critical in terms of how you address this or actually going to stand true to values. >> look there was a poll came out cbs news 71% of people in alabama do not believe allegations against roy moore and most of them plan to vote for him. you know, at some point, where is right and where is wrong? because when you look at roy moore there's not evidence like al franken photo. >> franken situation is interesting. i'm democrat and have investigated interest. >> you are? >>

everyone what watch this program. look al franken will probably resign tomorrow. what you saw today when you saw -- i think every female member of democratic caucus called for resignation. this it state of values and party telling one of its own someone well liked in caucus that not with stand how well liked you are and the work you have done this conduct is unacceptable and not fitting somebody who would serve in the united states senate. >> is it trying to stake a claim to the moral high ground here. >> you're asking is this a political calculation for 2018 look we're in minority right now. he he can sit tight and we're choosing to do right things because we're party of principle. >> as we look down the list there's other members. there are not many boisterous calls for him to resign and conyers was different that situation played out differently. at what point what's biggest move we can see on capitol

hill done unilaterally to maybe restore trust in institutions. >> it's a great question. look if moore is elected and seated the test will be is mitch mc connell going to fall through and submit case to senate ethics committee and what will that committee choose to do and whether roy moore will be held accou accountable. the broader point and leader on the hill struggling with now. the president chosen to step into this. and chosen to reendorse moore despite initially withholding support and in so doing nationalized this and made this a race about him. as much referendum on donald trump in alabama versus democrats in costs ali lights and roy moore and when he should be held accountable/. >> if you frame is is that way referendum on trump moore whips nine out of ten times. >> i think he'll be elected pi by people of alabama and i think it
