millions of jobs created since donald trump came into office vote for republican candidates to allow that trump agenda as it's called to continue to support it in the u.s. congress donald trump making the argument rather fervently using employing fear tactics in order to scare voters away from supporting democratic congressional candidates his argument is that they'll raise taxes that will cut jobs and he's particularly used the issue of immigration to sort of stoke the fears of illegal immigration a storming of the borders if you will of illegal immigrants in the hopes that this will convince voters what we've also seen that i think is really notable the president held three rallies today but in his final closing rally there in missouri which of levy showed pictures of perhaps because the president is aware that it is possibly an election that could be determined by suburban women voters he brought his members of his cabinet and as press secretary who are female voters to the stage it was certainly notable almost the president being cognizant of the fact that women could decide this and sort of trying to highlight the fact that he believes he's been supportive

the man who served as donald trump's lawyer and close adviser for over a decade has admitted lying to congressnnection with the presidential campaign two years ago. michael cohen said he'd misled a committee that's investigating possible russian intereference in the race for the white house. mr cohen had already admitted breaking the law on campaignfunding. it's the latest twist in the investigation that's cast a shadow over the first two years of the trump presidency. our north america correspondent nick bryant reports. michael cohen was donald trump's mr fix—it — a centralfigure in the billionaire‘s business empire. but the lawyer who used to make mr trump's problems go away now potentially poses a huge problem himself for the president. mr cohen has cooperated. mr cohen will continue to cooperate. sentencing is set for december 12th. but the fast—talking new york attorney remained tight—lipped outside court. those words from his lawyer are a startling new development. it means he's sharing information with the russian collusion investigation. up until now, michael cohen has been prosecuted

congress donald trump is already sort of celebrating but the fact of the matter is is that there's still one more hurdle to get through and also have a feeling a little bit bittersweet about this agreement at the signing a couple of hours ago here where the stars in fact the canadian prime minister just to reflect some of that he kept referring to it as the new nafta instead of the u.s. m.c.a. maybe because ca stands for canada that's at the end and also the fact that still looming through all of this and not in that agreement with the lifting of tariffs on canadian steel and aluminum that is put in place by goods shipped to the united states from canada so there are still some sort of thorny issues between all of these players but at the same time donald trump projecting this is a victory somewhat prematurely many suggest all right thank you very much it's with all the latest on president trump's schedule and some of the issues he has been tackling today thank you very much kimberly. a lot so holzhausen demonstrators have been rallying in one desirous in protest at the g. twenty economi

of his first term. >> and she could have been an invaluable asset to donald trump as the only african-american republican in congressld have. but in the two years that donald trump has been in office, it's pretty clear that he has not shown a great interest in reaching out to black voters, even black republicans and trying to be a big tent party type of leader. even today in his comments in mississippi he again rolled out that old, you know, what do you have to lose line when it came to appealing to black voters. so i'm not sure that he saw the value in that. he more saw a potential liability of a republican losing in a red state, and he wanted to absolve himself of responsibility for that. >> kimberley atkins, thank you very much for joining us tonight. and latosha brown, i'm sorry we lost our connection to you. >>> and coming up we're going to have more of what we see in this photograph that went viral yesterday. today... back pain can't win. now introducing aleve back and muscle pain. only aleve targets tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. aleve back & muscle. all day strong. all day long. let's do t

congress and shape the future of donald trump's presidency. sources have told us. to pay blood money to the family. including his fiance. was murdered in the saudi consulate in istanbul more than a month ago. or now in the u.s. midterms let's go to washington d.c. and speak to a columnist at the u.s. news website the daily beast thanks very much for being with us pretty exciting election this one isn't it what's your forecast if you give one for that for how this is going to turn out. well it appears that the democrats are poised to take back the majority control of the house of representatives and the democrats also seem to be well positioned to win a number of critical governorships and states that are key to the twenty twenty lection we're already thinking about that florida michigan illinois ohio and and. wisconsin. and the senate appears to be out of reach and president trump has really doubled down on his support for republicans running in a number of states that he won handily two years ago so the republicans are running hard to keep control but it does look

trump said that when will it come into effect. well that is contingent on it being ratified at least for the united states in the u.s. congress and that proves challenging for donald trump given the fact that democrats will in january control the house of representatives of the lower chamber of commerce congress now donald trump at that signing did shrugged off those concerns saying he doesn't think it'll be a problem this is a largely symbolic at the moment for donald trump because of the necessary ratification it should be easier to push through for canada and mexico and even canada not completely happy with the language the fact that the tariffs on steel and aluminum remain in place is something that they don't like in fact just giving a sense of how canada was not feeling entirely comfortable with all of this justin trudeau the canadian prime minister would not refer to it as the u.s. m.c.a. putting canada at the end of the new agreement instead he referred to it as the new nafta now for mexico this is significant it's a significant achievement for the president to this is last official day in office and we should note mexico also in the same day but at a sepa

ideal world, i would like to think that over the next two years, maybe with the democratic congress, donald trumphe deal maker could find some sort of deal. but i'm going the lean here with more with susan in that i think that he needs this as a foil. he needs the democrats to compare and con tratrast in say look, he has all of these criminals, bad hombres coming over. you need to keep me in office past 2020. immigration, even though he may make noises of finding a resolution, he needs to keep there it. he is definitely not going to get money for the border wall with the democratic congress, but he is going to do anything he can to keep it on the radar screen for that base. >> well, he's got to keep it around if he wants to get reelected. he thinks it's his best vehicle. he thinks it's why he is in the white house in the first place. jo jon, give us a little hope here. when donald trump was elected, i think some hoped, perhaps it was wishful thinking, that he would act as this deal maker that he portrays himself as. that he would get in a room with chuck and nancy as he likes to call them, and cu

donald trump is republican presidential nominee. also he says that he wasn't truthful in terms of what donald trump knew. he initially had told congress that there were three conversations with donald trump about this, but in these court documents it says that there were conversations on more than three occasions and that he also briefed family members of donald trump within the company, the trump organization about this project. also we're learning that he wasn't truthful about plans to travel to washington. he told congress there weren't plans to travel to russia and now according to these court documents, not only was there a plan in the works for him to go to russia but there was contemplation for donald trump to go to russia and the why is also listed in these court documents. michael cohen saying he wanted to protect donald trump and that is why he misled congress saying that he wanted to give the false impression that the moscow project ended before the iowa caucus and the very first primary in hopes of limiting the ongoing russia investigation. now this is significant for a number of reasons. the president has said he had no d

families. ♪ >>> a new fox news poll shows that obamacare is far more popular than donald trump or the republican congressd so donald trump and the republican congress are lying about what they have tried to do to obamacare and what they have actually done to obamacare, the damage they have done. obamacare, the affordable care act was the very first federal legal protection for health care patients with pre-existing conditions and a republican house and senate repeatedly voted to repeal it completely. and not replace it with anything. they cast those votes several times. they are now attacking the affordable care act in courts. donald trump himself is trying to destroy obamacare in a federal court joined by republican attorneys general around the country. and now that the polling shows that that is a big political mistake the solution to their political problem is to lie and to pretend that they are supporters now of the principles of obamacare, especially protecting patients with pre-existing conditions. >> they have spent the last eight years obsessed with trying to undermine, sabotage, repeal that law.

donald trump says u.s. will if the u.s. were to cancel defense contracts with saudi arabia. that would benefit russia and china. and that congressis free to go in a different direction on saudi arabia but he would only consider ideas consistent with u.s. security so these are all statements coming from the news wires with regards to donald trump and his position. jamal khashoggi i'll just quickly repeat them for you he says that quote could very well be that the saudi crown prince had knowledge of this tragic event had knowledge is the key point there cancelling defense contracts with saudi arabia would only benefit russia and china but the congress is free to go in a different direction if it wishes we will wait for more on that those are only the lines coming off the news wires at the moment we wait to hear more and then hopefully speak to our team in washington about it as well. still got some other news to bring you this is interesting representatives from easter island are in london to seek the return of a statue brought to the u.k. almost one hundred fifty years ago the seven foot carving was taken from the island in eight

his own fellow democrats in congress trump said that he intimated that he is a voter magnet for the republicans one from a communications strategy i fully understand why donald trump did that exactly that you know president obama back in two thousand and ten had a shellacking that's what he called it and chump you know didn't have didn't suffer nearly as close. as bad of losses as obama did i think kept the senate of course so you know some positions felt that way but keep in mind i mean democrats did come back it was in a blue way that some democrats had hoped for but it was a record turnout new voter groups came in i think there's one thing that is very concerning to report from republicans an especially donald trump this is the female vote or socially these. the bourbon the female voter and the independents you know keep in mind democratic turnout went up with young voters african-americans latino voters but again if can't get back those suburban women well educated voters i don't see how reelections can be on the table you know let's talk about the women we have to talk about the performance of women in this race i mean this is being called the year of t

congress about the trump tower moscow meeting. he is now saying that, in fact, there were communications about the deal throughout the campaign for president, through june 2016 when donald trump is a presumptive republican presidential nominee, not january 2016 as he initially had told congress and also that donald trump had been briefed on trump tower moscow project that never came to fruition on multiple occasions, not just the three times that michael cohen had initially told congress. now what stuck out to me is that the fact that this is the version special counsel believes, but also it appears we're getting a window into what the president's response is in those questions from robert mueller that were returned last week. we know that some of those questions centered around trump tower moscow and what the president knew about it, what his involvement was. the fact that the president is saying that michael cohen is lying now with this new version of events indicates that the president's responses do not align with what michael cohen is saying the version that special counsel robert mueller believes. that is significant and it appears that robert mueller's team wante

congress off donald trump's back and what can he do that would make mr erdogan feel yes there is progress at the same time in the prosecution of a case against the people who killed jamal khashoggi. well i think that's incredibly difficult to do both things on the on the saudi front they can certainly work towards peace talks they can hold strikes they could acknowledge the need for a peace deal in yemen and work towards that acknowledging the u.s. coals for a cease fire and working towards a peace deal now of course is incredibly complex and there are all types of issues that you yourselves have puppet with regard to the peace deal now as for for mr trump and mr head though and i imagine that they are having quite serious discussions if not personally then between their audience about what the turkish goal is here what that they actually do want to push saudi arabia to the side to isolate them to push mr trump into breaking ties and breaking relations with saudi arabia now i'm not sure that's something mr trump wants to do but it's something that he's increasingly seen to sort of hidden

trump spoke moments ago at the g20 summit in ba buenos aires. saying the president is spooked. this comes as his former longtime attorney michael cohen pleaded guilting to lying to congress about donaldmp's role in planning a potential project in russia. joining us now michael isikoff, chief investigative correspondent for yahoo! news. also author, i should say, of "russian roulette: the inside story of putin's war on america and inside the election's donald trump." it is good to talk to you today. so tell us, if donald trump was in some sort of negotiations during the presidential campaign, at least up to june of 2016, about building some sort of trump tower in moscow, why is that so significant today? >> well, because the president misled the american people about his efforts to do business in russia. he did that after the campaign when this news of this project first broke last year. so while the campaign was going on, the voters knew nothing about the president's efforts to do this deal. at the same time that he was saying all of these nice flattering things about vladimir putin, and there's one passage in that plea deal that michael cohen signed yesterday and agreed to in federa

congress? well, there was talk of donald trump at adopting a softer tone, perhaps be more measured, having lostght the donald trump presidency rollercoaster was going to pause for breath after these mid—term elections, they were very much mistaken because we have an absolute firecracker of a press conference in which he took on members of the media today and then announced that he had effectively sacked his attorney general, jeff sessions. so all things change, plenty more to come from the president, and already it feels like the mid—term elections were a long time ago. they were only last night, the results were only announced in the results were only announced in the early hours of this morning, and yet already the president has moved on. he has done different things, we are talking about different issues, and we are waiting to see what comes next. can he actually work with the democrats in congress? nancy pelosi, the leader of the democrats in congress, has said she is willing to be more bipartisan but now she is already on social media criticising the president for having sacked his attorne

congress and it could be a little bit more difficult for donald trump to get that through congress given the fact that democrats will control the house of representatives come january so this signing that has taken place is certainly symbolic the agreement is ninety eight percent there but while it is straightforward for pushing through in mexico and canada even though canada objecting to a little bit of language not so in the united states well it is expected to go through because certainly there were concerns about nafta which the u.s. m.c.a. this new agreement replaces there is all the always the possibility that this could get held up in the house of representatives controlled by democrats so this is certainly a significant step but well donald trump is celebrating potentially it could be premature and there's another high stakes meeting on trains kimberly between the u.s. and chinese leaders talk us through what we can expect on that any hope of progress on trade with china well there is optimism there is a lot of hope on both sides there is a working dinner between chinese presiden

congress to pass the dream act. i have dream on my college campuses who are like wishing because while donald trump hold them hostage. the congress needs to get with it and have meaningful immigration. they will have security on the border. that's something most parties can embrace. we have to get with fairness on this and donald trump has not helped us. i hope the message of seven new governors being -- eating beatingans -- republicans might be a message to republicans to start working on that subject. yeah? >> you mentioned seven new governors who are signing on to the climate change agreement. >> so far. >> who was the last person? i don'tnor kelly believe has signed up but i haven't had the chance to talk to her about that. we know kansas can be a really important part of the clean energy revolution. biofuels is a real important thing in kansas, as is wind power. i will have a chance to talk to her and we will let you know. thingas been an important by governors this u.s. climate alliance. it has been successful in preventing any single country in the world of following donald trump over the cliff of climate cha

question that we've had for 18 months, and that is if there is a showdown, will republicans in congress allow donald trumphe white house to limit the investigation, or will me stand -- they stand up and say, no, this investigation is not limited and not curbed? we probably aren't close to that final decision yet because the new congress hasn't sat. i would suspect that when we have a democratic house of representatives, by the way, and we start to have pressure from the house as well as mueller in early january, that's when we get the answer to your question. >> okay. i don't know if you remember back in 2016 -- it seems like such a long time ago -- hillary clinton and her e-mails. i mean, this woman was vilified during the campaign because she used a private e-mail server to send out these e-mails for government business. let's go through the time machine and take a look back. look at this. >> 33,000 missing e-mails. think of it, 33,000. >> she should never have been allowed to run for the presidency based on what she did with e-mails. >> she deleted the e-mails. she has to go to jail. >> well, now there

out of congress would in donald trump's view risk the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia and would not be putting put america first. right you know in that statement where you read or perhaps a little bit later the president writes after the united states saudi arabia is the largest oil producing nation in the world and they have worked closely with us and been very responsive to my requests keeping oil prices that reasonable levels well what happened just a couple of weeks ago come out we had the iran sanctions targeting oil exports there were concerns about rising prices something that the president doesn't want for his base particularly working class americans who might be struggling to fill up the gas tank and don't want to see those prices spike saudi arabia allows the president the confidence to know that those prices can remain somewhat stable so it's interesting that the president is on the one hand saying to congress look you can go in another direction but in the next breath saying but be careful about those oil prices you've got c

democrats by about ten percent and importantly the democrats have that one house of congress so you have donald trump lashing out at the media lashing out at democrats lashing out it is on agencies it's not going to resignations as can be firings so before robert mueller goes keep an eye on deputy attorney general rosenstein now rosenstein has supervised the investigation up until yesterday now that the acting attorney general comes in and takes charge of it rosenstein who has upset trumped because he would not a lot more because he would not slow things down he could go just before the special counsel goes on the chopping block all right so thank you for not set for speak to us on al-jazeera that you. now in a heated press conference on wednesday night as they were hearing president trump talks up his republican party's gains in the senate from tuesday's midterm elections so turnout was unusually high across the country and the night off for a good news for both of the main political parties the democrats claim two hundred twenty three seats so far in the u.s. house of representatives handing them c

the marathon cheer caught on camera. >> former personal attorney to donald trump michael cohen pleading guilty to lying to congress in a deal he cut with robert mueller but donald trump hitting back at cohen's claims. >> he was convicted of various things and related to ice. he is a weak person and not a very smart person. he got himself a big prison sentence and is trying to get a much lesser prison sentence by making up a story. >> reporter: our next guest says this plea deal is the definition of legal fiction. constitutional law attorney jenna ellis talks more about it, nice to have you here in person. when the president mentions a lesser sentence he is right because what cohen actually faced with 5 years in prison, $250,000 fine for lying to congress but under the plea agreement the sentence could be 6 months and a fine of $9000. >> the plea agreement happens in a wide variety of cases and what that means is the plea of guilty and conviction doesn't actually match the reality of what happened. an example is you are pulled over for speeding and didn't think you were actually speeding but your insurance will go

donald trump won in 2016. ros atkins has been looking at this in our virtual congress. presidency a central issue of these elections. his approval levels are historically low and there is a momentum behind some anti—trump candidates but if we do see a big swing against the republicans, it won't necessarily be just be about the man in the white house. it will be part of a broader pattern in american politics. that of moving congress away from the president. let's go back to 1992 when bill clinton swept to power. he entered the white house with relatively high majorities in both the senate and the house. but two years later, after various scandals and the public keen to put up barriers on executive power, the democrats saw a huge swing against them and the republicans took the house. they would hold it for the final six years of clinton's time in office. next, let's go to 2000. and as george w bush was narrowly winning the presidency, the republicans were narrowly taking the house. initially, mr bush had high approval ratings, in particular following 911 and what he called

congress to pass the dream act. i've got dreamers on my college campuses languishing because donald trump holds them hostage still. the congress needs to get with it and have meaningful immigration. they will have security on the border. that's something most parties can embrace. we have to get with fairness on this and donald trump has not helped us. i hope the message of seven new governor beating republican, flipping seven red states in a historic event might be a message to the republicans to start working on that subject. yeah? >> you mentioned seven new governors who are signing on to the climate change agreement. >> so far. we're not done yet. >> who was the last person? >> governor kelly i don't believe has signed up but i haven't had the chance to talk to her about that. we look forward to that. we know kansas can be a really important part of the clean energy revolution, biofuels is an important thing in kansas as is potentially wind power and there's a lot of good things coming out of kansas. i'll have a chance to talk to her and we'll let you know. this has been an important thing by governors this u.s.
