the festival celebrates old lagos.nt the spirits of the dead, returned to cleanse the city of evil and pray for peace and prosperity. emerging from the rusted tin roofs is one answer to the prayers, building up. lagos has no choice but to go up. how are we going to accommodate all of the population? we have to go up. lateef shobelo has spent 25 years as an urban planner in los angeles. now he has brought his skills home. now that we are able to go vertically, we are able to reduce overcrowding. it gives the advantage of the air space, which has been lost. tower blocks are not a new idea and they are expensive, but lagos needs to renew without moving people out. one answer is creative financing, to lure private investment into affordable housing. currently we are looking at different areas we can come up with to introduce some of the ideas that i have brought from los angeles and see which ones are applicable and usable here. this is the other way to deal with slums. this community was cleared in march, despite a court

the right time to bring in our correspondent young philip schultz in lagos young slip you live in lagos so how do you experience the effects of migration on a daily basis. well i'm in the lucky situation that a lift in one of the better neighborhoods in ghosts so i can only experience the effects and let's say in a very soft way if i was a resident of one of the many growing slum syrian lego's i could probably tell you a different story but of course there are facts that everybody experiences in lagos no matter of poor or middle class or or super rich and this is of course above all the crazy traffic here it's probably the best indication that the infrastructure of this city is really not made for the amount of people that come to live here yesterday for example and this is really not an exaggeration i had to give up my own travel plans already at the parking lot of my apartment building because i couldn't even get out of the gates because there was so much traffic that i just had to wait for a few hours to try again and then i was a little bit more lucky. you just describing basically

lagos has to balance a modern vision against its growing inequality.emain the super—rich and the people just below the poverty line. the hope is that over the next few years you will see that gap bridged as more people getjobs. the only way to manage a massive, over growing mega—city is to invest in infrastructure, whether it be power lines, or rail lines. this will be nigeria's first—ever electrical light railway system. within ten years they want six of these lines crisscrossing the state, keeping lagos on the move. but the city is outgrowing efforts to house, employ, and serve its people. we are in an urban age. people are going to keep coming. we have to find more creative ways to accommodate more people. climate change, drought, and a doubling population are already testing the continent's capacity to feed itself. and by 2050 a quarter of the world will be africans. farming needs to be much more productive. kenya is at the forefront of a big, international effort to create better plants that produce more crops in the harshest conditions. smallhold

i mean he is the king of mar-a-lago. i think what the interview showed is that he was relaxed, he was talking to the reporter, and the aides probably didn't like it because they didn't really have any control over it. but with that said, as everybody knows, really nobody has much control over donald trump. i think he likes it that way. you know, he's gotten a lot of things passed. he's gotten a lot of good things done. and mar-a-lago is his stomping grounds. so i'm sure that the aides, i'm sure a lot of people did not like that, but you've got to understand the atmosphere of mar-a-lago is very relaxed. >> have you been there? sorry to interrupt. >> yes, i've been there -- i have and it's beautiful. it's a wonderful place. you know, i've known many members there and i've gone there, and it's a relaxing, beautiful place. not only that, but a lot of the people that work there, a lot of the staff have been there many years. and he's very good to his employees. so it's a great atmosphere. so obviously he was very relaxed. he

he likes when we say mar-a-lago, mar-a-lago, mar-a-lago. >> and we're not as close to him at mar-a-lago as we are at the white house. on mar-a-lago, the press are kept off the premises. >> all right. let's bring our panel back in. i think it would be a good idea to fact check the president as far as the size and scope of this cut. >> sure. there are a few things the president said. look, let me just say this is obviously an extraordinary moment for the president. he caps this year with his first major legislative achievement that not only cuts taxes steeply, it repeals the mandate and opens up anwar to drilling. that's not trivial. there are a few things he said that i -- excuse me -- don't quite measure up to the fact. number one, he said this would be the largest tax cut in american history. that's not true. in terms of inflation adjusted dollars, it's not even the largest this decade. president obama signed a larger one in 2013 while extending and making permanent most of the bush tax cuts. he mentioned he signed the most pieces of legislation into law of any president in recent hist

howard, you have the whole mar-a-lago, amid club members there. does that access concern you or do you think it poses an optics problem for the president, or, hey, just a matter of consequence? >> there's two issues here. one is shared by both parties. their access does concern me. both parties do it. the money goes to campaigns. the problem for trump, this money is going into his pocket. these people are paying $750. it's going into the mar-a-lago which he owns and, therefore, benefits from it. this is direct not just disguised as campaign contributions which everybody does which is sick as it is. we ought to get rid of and change the financing of campaigns, this is a direct payment to donald trump. >> let's break that down as far as, you know, what's in that amount of money as far as getting you in the door. some critics are pointing to the hike in the prices. you have the jump in the initiation fees, the president's frequent trips there as a potential ethics violation. given the president maintains ownership of mar-a-lago, should the white hous

lagos, nigeria leads the world in urban migration. the make a city already has about 18 million people. it attracts thousands of new migrants every day. the population is putting the city under pressure. reporter: lagos, the place you go to follow your dreams, or at least in search of a better life. thousands of nigerians move here every day. one of them is nora. she came here eight months ago to sell children's clothes. >> this is a city of opportunity. there is not any concern. bring it on. people will buy it. reporter: the influx of people has left the city bursting at the seams. congestion is a huge problem. for many people, commuting takes up a large portion of their day. this ip specialist has to get up at the crack of dawn to get to work on time. >> the distance between where i stand and there is about 23 meters, but it sometimes takes about two hours to get there, more than two hours to get back home. reporter: lagos is come to an estimated 21 million people. the city's rapidly rising population is proving a headache for urban

at the president's mar-a-lago resort.ast hour we saw the president for a fourth day at trump international in his golf gear. but this time with members of the coast guard who he invited over to hit the links. but we begin with something else that happened at the trump international. specifically in the grill room. the president's impromptu interview with "the new york times." and, it was illuminating. >> just when you think you'll have a slow friday before new year's, a "new york times" reporter stumbles upon the president of the united states in the grill room at mar-a-lago and launches an unbelievable interview. >> president trump unplugged in a brand-new "new york times" interview. >> donald trump spoke to a "new york times" reporter alone without any aides or staffers present. >> the core of this interview is the president playing the hits. talking about the 2016 election, his electoral victory, and the investigations into him and to his 2016 opponent hillary clinton. >> he says he knew more about

president trump heading to florida this hour to spend the holiday break at his mar-a-lago estate after helping to deliver the gift of sweeping tax reform to america. hello and welcome to "happening now." i'm rick leventhal and for jon scott. the girl the president preparing to sign the largest tax overhaul inducted into law. he's also expected to sign a measure to fund the government till january 19th. congress avoiding a shutdown but setting up a showdown on hot button issues like immigration, health care, and the budget all want the holiday break is over. the present expressing optimism that congress will come together and get things done. >> rick: mr. trump tweeting, "at some point, and for the good of the country, i predict we will start working with the democrats in a bipartisan fashion. infrastructure would be a perfect place to start. after having foolishly spent $7 trillion in the middle east, it is time to start rebuilding our country." fox business network is a lie from the white house with more. i understand the president is in the oval office right now signing the tax bill.

he will spend the holidays at his mar a lago resort in palm beach.enate are oust session, but they left plenty of unfinished business behind. let's discuss this and more with rick santorum and to former president obama. for coming in, you see all the concerns and they could lose the house and the senate. how worried should your fellow republicans be? >> less worried now that they got the bill passed. this will be their signature accomplishment and i hope they get more done. if you listened to mitch mcconnell, they don't sound like they want to do any more. he said we are pretty much done unless they get bipartisan things done. the chances are pretty small. this is what mitch mcconnell thinks they will run on. it will help them, but my recommendation is, keep working. you have a lot more work to do and people will take a crack at health care and do something on infrastructure. there a lot of other things that need to be done. >> for seven or eight years, middle class families will see a little bit bigger paycheck. that will have a positive impact for

who paid $200,000 to join mar-a-lago.elieve they doubled it as soon as he was elected president. >> they did. >> so a lot of rich people are hanging around the president and enjoying their tax cut because they got lion's share of the tax cut. and i hope they have a good new years eve celebrating. >> i wish everyone a happy new years. >> he said has the totally normal new years eve party. what do you mean? most people don't get a chance to auction off access. here's his vacationing during the first year according to travel. which i think shows two things. i'll curious what you think. he doesn't work a lot. if you don't want to be effective, maybe you welcome that. but number two, he is constantly promoting his own properties. >> the promotion is really something. there hasn't been a president in my lifetime who has done this. the emoluments clause, you're not supposed to take foreign money to influence your policy. i thought it was a far flung argument. i'm not an attorney. it is clear his staff are shaking down foreign go

transition officials and who was around at mar a lago, you can figure it out. them are not in the administration anymore. jared kushner, his wife and maybe one or two other people are it. they are starting to widdle it down. the main question is what the president knew and whether any this gets to him. >> we determine whether flynn spoke on his own and what knew and approved of his actions. they must be allowed to continue without interference. it's called the logan act, but private citizens, even transition officials are not supposed to meddle in the business of the united states government until they are in the united states government. >> i think we are in wait and see mode as we have been for a long time, but this is materially different than the papadopoulos thing. flynn was high ranking and clearly close to the president. he wrapped up both in the firing of comey and the possibility of obstruction of justice charges and russian interference. he has been in the past done shady dealings with the turkish government while in the transition. none of this looks

we are waiting for president trump to slip out the back door of the white house heading for mar-a-lago, we are not 100% sure. we are also following new developments on the republican tax bill that is slated to become law today. a senior administration official is telling nbc news that it is likely the president will sign it today. now, over on the hill, the question now is, what's next? republicans got their tax plan. now they've got to figure out the deficit, entitlements and a budget. the late night bill passed keeping the government open for another month massachusetts jorjo jorjo, majority leader mitch mcconnell is speaking. >>> and what is being said from james comey and his conversations with the president. a lot is going on now, but we'll start at the white house with nbc's hallie jackson. a lot of questions you and the press corps are hoping to ask the president before he departs in the hour, but i want to start with the ftax bill. what do we know about a signing today? >> reporter: first as i was walking out here, i'm told it was very likely he'll be signing the tax bill befor

. >>> president trump is closing out 2017 at mar-a-lago.uary, of north korea's unexpected launching, trump was hosting japan's prime minister. dinner turns into a strategy possession. lets bring in dan. this week, he conducted an i impromptu interview. did it offer his most authentic self? >> i think that's fair to say. new york is the city that really made trump and mar-a-lago is the town and club that he's most comfortable. much like the president himself very conscious and the president have been coming here since 1985 when he bought the estate, he turned it into a club, 1985. he used it as a place, a sounding board, a place to come down here and talk to friends and people that he's known for decades now. >> he knows many of the people that have been going to mar-a-lago longer than he has. he's known some of these people so long and he's comfortable here. that's what you see when you see videos inside mar-a-lago and reports, it is really a place where he at his most comfortable but it is changing. he shaved system of the restrictions put

. >> shifting gears, mar-a-lago, it is warm, it is sunny, there's golf. president seems a bit more comfortable there. he just gave this wide-ranging rather long interview to of all publications the new york times, which he's been very critical of as you know in the past. if the president is able to run a little more wild, have more freedom, his staff didn't necessarily have a whole lot of input on the interview, didn't know about it ahead of time, is it a bad thing or a good thing to see the president sort of away from his handlers and his staff speaking a little more freely? >> it is certainly a double-edged sword from the white house's perspective. it is perilous for president trump to be in a situation where he could encounter a new york times reporter and do an interview for an entire half hour and no one be able to intervene to provide him with a list of talking points, brush him up on his facts before he sits down for the interview. on the other hand, it is good for any president to have time to blow off some steam, to interact with friends and fami

plus, the president hunkers down at mar-a-lago. why the luxury estate always seems to be in the middle of controversy. let's go "outfront." >> good evening. i'm pamela brown in for erin burnett. "outfront" tonight, not meeting the press. the president left washington today without holding a traditional end of the year press conference. something we are told trump wanted to do. it's a surprising decision given the president could tout his biggest accomplishment to date. the sweeping tax bill. but white house advisers overruled the president. two white house tells cnn the fear was over questions about russia, questions they clearly didn't want him to answer. but that didn't stop trump from giving his own version of reality after he signed the tax bill into law. here he is on obamacare and the end of the individual mandate. take a listen. >> essentially i think obamacare is over because of that and we're going to come up with something that's going to be very good. >> so obamacare is not over. 8.8 million people signed up for 2018 cov

so, plenty for the president to mull over while he is here in mar-a-lago. meantime we're working on finding out whether or not he's actually playing golf, fred. >> all right, we'll soon find out. maybe we'll get a shot or two if that is the case. boris, thank you so much. not a bad place to spend the holiday season. >>> let's talk about the president's big win and where he and his fellow republicans go from here with my panel joining me right now, david swardlick, assistant editor for "the washington post." also with me, mike allen, former staff director for the house intel committee, and he also served on the national security council under george w. bush. good to see both of you. and merry christmas. let me begin with you, david, the president is celebrating his first major legislative win, but the tax reform plan remains deeply unpopular. so, is this a win for him and congress? >> yeah, i think it's clearly at least a political win for trump and republicans in congress. after almost an entire year where they were not able to get a major comprehensive pie

. >> the president hosting the coast guard near mar-a-lago. a day earlier he acknowledged he has been soft on china on trade, and that impromptu interview with "new york times." his administration hoping beijing will pressure north korea to end its nuclear weapons program. new concerns china is helping the rogue regime and violating u.n. sanctions. u.s. treasury satellite images show what south korea suspects is a chinese ship, transferring oil to north korean ship in international waters. the chinese strongly denying the government was involved. hours after this accusation from the president. oil is going into north korea, so i'm not happy about it. the 30 minute interview shattered what had been relative quiet of the president's working holiday as he decried the russia investigation but not the man overseeing it, robert mueller. i think that he is going to be fair. that's different from questions of credibility some other republicans raised. the president's friend joined him for part of that interview. >> have you seen in the last week, coup

. >> the president is also getting away for the holidays, heading to mar-a-lago after signing the tax bill, but many issues remain unresolved. bill mattingly sorts through it for us on capitol hill. >> in the end, the poll or the scent of jet fumes overwhelmed the idea of having a fight when it came to a potential government shutdown. the senate following suit of the house and there will not be a government shutdown, at least for now. what is in the bill they passed? it's more than just funding through january 19th. it's funding through march the bill to extend, and the key fisa program will continue, and community health hospitals as well, and no doubt setting up major fights for january. daca, a program trump said he would wind down in march and that has been punted to january as well, and then the emergency bills, the house passed that with a big vote and the senate put that aside. that will have to be addressed in january as well. so republicans and democrats agreeing not to shutdown the government, and low bar but that's progress on some level, but it sets up major fights in janu

the lion's share of that time, of course, being mar-a-lago.ere on the ground. >>> if you're hitting the road this afternoon, you'll have company. aaa says this is going to be one of the busiest end-of-year travel seasons ever with more than 107 million americans getting out of town some sometime between now and new year's day. nbc's ron mott is live at chicago's o'hare international airport. one of the five busiest airports in this country. how is it looking so far, sir? >> reporter: re like to give credit where it's due so we need to give a shout out to the city of chicago and tsa. this airport has operated very smoothly today. i'm looking at the american airlines flight board. 130 flights posted, just nine delays and they're pretty minor delays. there was one cancellation to dulles -- or reagan national. that's been about it. we had a huge rush of people early this morning and then the mid-morning it dropped down. it was a little lull but picked up again. we're expecting the heaviest travel today at chicagoland airport's 225,000 passengers e

off to mar a lago for christmas. the president said it's his big resolution and he predicts there will be bipartisan dealing. plus, friend or foe. the president's united nations ambassador said she is making a list and checking the votes. it's official, the president signed the tax cut plan today and it also repeals the obamacare coverage mandate adding this 2018 election year challenge for the president's party. >> obamacare essentially it ultimately leads to the end of obamacare. i think obamacare is over because of that. we will come up with something that will be very good. many people thought it should have been overturned in the supreme court. didn't quite make it, but almost. now we are overturning the individual mandate. the most unpopular thing in obamacare. >> the big year end achievement. tax reform is done. signing into law without the hoopla for what republicans consider the crown jewel. the president had an explanation. >> i watched the news this morning and they were all saying will he keep his promise

though when he departed the white house yesterday for mar a lago, he did tell reporters that this would be a working vacation, that there were several areas of concern that he really wanted to drill down with his advisers on, including north korea and tensions rising in the middle east. the president is also expected to work on his state of the union address while he was down here in mar a lago. that is expected to be delivered to the nation by the end of january. the president has to weigh the legislative agenda and the next steps going into 2018. there are two major options for the president and the republicans right now when it comes to the legislative agenda. on one hand, you have a push for entitlement reform, for welfare reform, something that house speaker paul ryan has hinted should be the next step for republicans following their victory on tax reform. on the other hand, you had something the president talked about again to reporters before he left the white house yesterday. an infrastructure plan. something he admitted likely would have made the early days of his administratio

the kinds of people that could spend $200,000 to join mar-a-lago and then pay the annual dues, living in florida, have some residency in florida, those are folks who are going to see -- i mean, that is the folks that are going to benefit wildly from this tax bill. >> absolutely. and it would be actually, i think, productive, except congress doesn't allow it, to do audits on all of those people who own 100-foot, 200-foot-long yachts that are right around the corner from mar-a-lago, because it's hard to imagine anybody using after-tax dollars on something like that. >> there's news today from at&t, one of the things that happened after this tax cut. it was a bizarre, bizarre spectacle, i have to say. really strange. a bunch of corporations got together to announce that they were increasing capital investment or giving their workers bonuses. at&t was one of them. and then also announces much more quietly that they're going to lay off thousands of people just in time for christmas, which cuts against a little bit that the idea that they're so flush, that now everyone's going to get a rais
