good morning, kristin. >> reporter: good morning, john and diana. just because today is the official deadline, the enrollment process continues for one more week thanks to a last-minute change from the white house. that is not sitting well with many republicans. with the deadline to enroll in obamacare just hours away, the white house says it's closing in on its goal of getting 7 million americans to enroll in health insurance by the end of today. to speed things along, the white house says as long as you start signing up on midnight tonight, you'll have until next monday to complete the process. that new loophole letting stragglers sign up late has republicans outraged. >> what the hell is this? a joke? >> it's been the legal equivalent of swiss cheese. >> reporter: more than 6 million people have signed up. 1 million in just the last week. it's a major accomplishment after a rocky start. but those enrollment numbers come with a catch. for one, it's not clear how many of those people have actually paid the premiums. not to mention, no one knows how

al jazeera's kristin is live in new york city right now. what are the details, kristin?> reporter: that's right, del, the jury began deliberating late yesterday morning, so less than a day to come back with a -- a verdict of guilty on all counts. the -- the trial was also very quick, taking less than three weeks. now the defendant in this case is someone who is described as an al-qaeda spokesperson and a recruiter. he did not take part directly in plots to kill americans, the government never alleged as much. however, because he was making speeches on behalf of al-qaeda he has joined the conspiracy and therefore was guilty of conspiring to kill americans, and the backbone of their case were videos that he made, many of them with osama bin laden sitting right by his side, speaking about the attacks of 9/11, warning of more attacks and offering religious justification for those attacks. we have reaction to the verdict from the u.s. attorney's office. he says he was more than just al-qaeda's propaganda menster, within hours of 9/11, he was using his position to recruit more

kristin?> and jim, yesterday we heard some really strong language from german chancellor angela merkel. something that i think a lot of people weren't exactly expecting, given the relationship between germany and russia. how does that play into putin's next move? does it have an impact on him? >> reporter: well, the very fact that it was the usuallily reluctant angela merkel when it comes to sanctions against russia, she's now leading the charge on sanctions. and that really shows that things have changed. these sanctions especially if putin remains defiant and the next wave of trade sanctions kicks in, these sanctions can seriously hurt his economy. analysts we've talked to here in moscow, they can isolate him. you can already sense the panic in russia's stock market today. it's hit a five-year low. this morning the rouble is off, like, 5% to the dollar. more than $50 billion, kristin, has left russia during this crisis. and by the way, that's exactly how much he spent on his glorious olympic
