donald trump is venturing into uncharted territory.resident will recognise jerusalem uncharted territory. the president will recognisejerusalem as the capital of israel, making the united states the first country to do so since the foundation of the state in 1948. he has already indicated he intends to move the american embassy tojerusalem from tel aviv, and he has informed regional leaders of his plans. jerusalem holds a very special place in the arab narrative. it is revered by the palestinians. so what is meant as a symbolic move by washington, fulfilling a campaign promise for donald trump, could be very disruptive on the ground. it could also deliver an early death blow to his peace plan. the reaction has been heated. palestinian leader mahmoud bus has warned of dangerous consequences for the peace, security and stability of the region and of the world. —— mahmoud abbas. jordan's king abdullah said the decision would undermine efforts to renew the peace process and revoke muslims. saudi arabia's king salman told mr trump the reloc

the other is that we're going into really uncharted territory because be5ide5 we're going into reallyrliament, we're also electing members into seven federal assemblies. and federalism, no one really knows how it's going to work. thi5 really knows how it's going to work. this is indeed a wide—ranging election and of course now we are in a so—called millennial era, kunda, how has the election played out on 5ocial how has the election played out on social media? how has the election played out on social media ? ha5 how has the election played out on social media? has it been a social media driven election campaign? indeed. i think what you see in the run—up to the day's election especially is the very strong showing of one of the alternative partie5, showing of one of the alternative parties, which is an alliance of two anticorruption parties, which is an alliance of two anticorru ption pa rties, parties, which is an alliance of two anticorruption parties, which has a lot of fresh faces, a lot of people who have returned from abroad back to nepal and who represent the younger voter5. it

in that moment, our nation stepped into uncharted territory. the strength of our constitution was tested like never before. with the pursuit of justice -- would the pursuit of justice overcome politics? what the institution of the presidency be forever changed? what are the responsibilities of citizens in a republic when a republic's institutions are tested? it was during that spring semester of 1973 that i began to understand the tremendous power of the rule of law. it is guarded by representatives who swear to protect, preserve, and defend the constitution of the united states. when my basketball-playing years ran out, it was this realization that led me to go to law school. my new game would be learning the ins and outs of this system that ensures that the rights of our founders envisioned. my new team would be my fellow classmates and students who would go on to practice law and serve our nation at all levels. mr. president, so many of our colleagues, as they know, the path from practicing law to writing it is well traveled. i was fortunate

in this case, we are in uncharted waters, because the core accuser in the center of the scandal went on tv earlier this week and talked about her story, contrary and nondisclosure agreements that she signed as a condition of taking the settlement. ordinarily i would say nondisclosure agreement might bar that, but one of the parties to the gradient -- to the agreement has broken it. it's anybody's guess what happens then. host: to the senate, where al franken has been accused by another woman, this is from the cincinnati enquirer yesterday, that senator franken grow pure told cnn yesterday the incident occurred in 2003 in kuwait on a uso tour when he was there. what is the status of an investigation into senator franken? guest: it was known as recently as yesterday that the senate ethics committee had opened its own investigation. that has been going on for a while. as we understand it. just because the senate ethics committee confirms it is doing something, doesn't mean it already hasn't started. see my earlier point about the ethics largely operating in secrecy. when it comes to the

ultimately if the commission does initiate this process next week that could take us into some very uncharted waters that in theory could lead to poland losing its voting rights something that we've not seen in the bloc so far so that's certainly something that needs to be watched as the next couple of weeks that could really starts to get incredibly serious charge at chelles in poll in brussels thank you. here in germany the head of the social democrats martin shoulder says his party has agreed to exploratory talks with a view to forming a coalition with chance and i'm going merkel's conservatives he said the talks would likely get in early january ahead of party congress and fourteen for not he told reporters germany needs and a new governance culture and the s.p.d. has been under pressure to reconsider talking and no grand coalition government after chancellor merkel failed to get another three way coalition off the ground. that's got more from germany political correspondent simon young welcome simon tell us more about what martin short has been saying today. yes phil schultz says that he

but this is unchartered territory.we have never had to deal with something as big as this for a long time. on both sides, it is easy for the eu to be intransigent. so what you have to remember, this is a deal to get a deal. we are not anywhere yet! we are read being deals and deadlines, people thinking it is sorted but it isa people thinking it is sorted but it is a deal tojust people thinking it is sorted but it is a deal to just start talking about trade. exactly. what was interesting, yesterday when the eu said that they we re yesterday when the eu said that they were working until sunday, the working week goes up until sunday so that this means this could go up to the wire. eurocrats working at the weekend! and the true deadline... that is march 2019. so they are putting the pressure on. but the truth is between the calmness of the daily telegraph and the frantic nature of the ft but it is in there for goodness knows how long to come. and the other story on the front page of the ft, a company reporting zero gender

in that moment the nation was in uncharted territory and it was tested like never before. it was during the spring semester i begin to understand the tremendous power in the rules of law by those that swear to protect, preserve and defend the constitution of these united states. learning the ins and outs students would want to practice law and serve the nation at all levels. i was fortunate to help with some that were deprecated in the public service. one of them was in the department of justice and in those days you could g go department of justice without having to show an id and i quickly discovered after i got my breakfast that i had forgotten my wallet and so jeff sessions had to pay forea my mel and continued to pay it forward today as a dear friend and mentor. jeff sessions is a great man of principle and it's not far-fetched in my opinion to say some temperament found off from the state delete the senior senator richard shelby and i appreciate hisar presence in the chamber today. over 30 years ago i was introduced to then congressman shelby by jeff stewart who reve

has gotten, the lack of respect they have for the office and the president of the united states unchartedsa: what are some of the more glaring examples you have seen? >> the most of offensive example is the fact they don't cover any of the positive things that he has done. you look at the stock market. we hit over 70 highs on the nasdaq and new york stock exchange over the last year. the economy of is roaring. we haven't lad this in a long time. we have an historic tax bill. they are not looking at the positive. it's not about the president. the president makes this clear. the news here isn't that he's deserves credit for all this. we have common sense and the last 8 years things felt like there wasn't anything getting done. lisa: do you think the negative media attention president trump gets, the pew research center, you mentioned it in what you are talking about. and the fact is we have seen president trump has gotten three times for negative coverage in his first 60 days of office. does this have a galvanizing effect for those who support the president? do necessity view of this as the
