he achieved something that never happened before. that's what we're talking about the shooting people are not trying to shoot to burn themselves and their other countries have managed to solve this problem are you worried that this conflict could erupt into an outright open war that this is a security issue where the people who pay the price clearly there writeup unprejudiced setting the stage for a serious debate abstract at this time on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera.

hello i'm sam is a die and this is the news hour live from coming up the next sixty minutes. fighting intensifies between rival groups in yemen's capital with reports of at least fourteen dead. the yeas are fifty one. and the nays are forty nine trumps first trial a bill to overhaul the u.s. tax system gets one step closer to reality. protests in germany against a far right party that could become the biggest opposition bloc in parliament and on juristic plaza curfew tensions are high as the country awaits results of a contested presidential election and in sport tiger woods continues his impressive return to competitive golf the fourteen time major champion is five shots off the lead heading into the.

valleys. forty people have died in fighting between houthi rebels and forces loyal to yemen's former president ali abdullah saleh and the capital the two sides have been allies in their fight against the saudi the coalition and government forces but in the past four days they've been fighting for control of. talks when the dispute have failed came in my son is a political analyst and editor in chief of the amman post he joins us by phone from sendai good to have you with us what's the state of fighting there now. no one expected. control ninety nine percent of the capital. only fifty percent of the capital under. control.

forces have now entered the capital and out of nowhere have control of the. airport the national security. external ongoing right now the clashes are growing very very tired of. clashes. but this is far from over. and. it's far from over and no one now has the upper hand but it's still in shock to. see. majority of the an example yesterday they were. having nothing in their hands. saying that an abdullah saleh president forces are in control of majority of the capital that includes the airport and solar. the airport control.

the majority of the areas where. control they were not because of clashes because. those institutions which used to clash. there were evacuations there were some. really. because of clashes. going on in the middle. but rather in the neighborhood who said i want to control the park. came water on a song we know the relations have been strained between the host is not the fault of the allies have a range breaking point on this this point what's behind this. is over is far from over but again. happening right now. by the end of the day but again. from expected. the problem is that.

once they control complete picture to all the. security and the military. wanted to be partners with. the intelligence and military and military. action and the problem started. to ask a partnership very critical time. if you just are happening. all over the capitals that are very important development a lot of more implications to be examined here for now let's thank you must money there. now saudi's foreign minister says the saudi led coalition is looking at ways to increase the flow of humanitarian assistance into yemen saudi arabia placed a blockade on yemen last month after a missile was fired from her the territory towards riyadh it is urging the who

thing is to stop fighting and join the political process we hope that eventually the who things will realize that this is not in it and that they will make peace there are many citizens they have every right to participate in the political process but we can't control the country not if you're fifty thousand and the country is twenty eight million that's ridiculous and so this is where we are we are very concerned about the humanitarian situation in yemen we are looking at ways of entrancing the floor humanitarian assistance into yemeni ports reports in the coming days and few weeks we will make more announcements in the. u.s. senators narrowly passed a bill for the biggest overhaul of the tax system in decades it's a political victory of sorts for president donald trump after his administration won the support of republicans who've been holding out on friday no democrat voted

for the legislation the house of representatives passed a separate version and now must meet the senate to agree on a final bill well if the legislation passes it would be the largest u.s. tax overhaul since one nine hundred eighty it would add one point four trillion dollars to twenty trillion dollars national debt over ten years the trumpet ministration says the reforms will help the economy but critics say they only benefit corporations and the rich william black is a professor of economics and law with the university of missouri in kansas city he says congressional republicans were desperate to get the tax bill through. the paradox is that the republicans have actually gotten weaker in congress and that trump now has more power over them than he has had it any point in the presidency and that to his strength comes in part from the very weaknesses we've talked about

that they congressional republicans are now desperate to have something pass anything that's the first part the second part is they are particularly desperate to get the key provisions of this bill through for their donor base and the donor base of course these are the wealthier people and this tax cut is overwhelmingly going to go for the wealthiest americans and the donors are saying pass this bill or don't come back to us for more contributions and then basically the key political fact is that trump's base is still with trump and that trumps base is what turns out in primary elections so congressional republicans don't fear democrats anywhere near as much as they fear trumps base in the prime republican primary and trump has played on these theories quite well well economists say that this is going to add only they're

a tiny amounts in terms of growth there's a clear consensus among economists so overwhelmingly this has nothing to do with growth and everything to do with redistributing income again towards the wealthiest americans. take you live now to rome where qatari foreign moves around the fountain you speak to the man to conferences his name to what he's saying. and there are a lot of tactical measures being taken in order to address and to treat those results but what's we have addressed the results only we didn't look at the root causes for all this phenomena which is a growing and in that region and we believe that we cannot treat only the result and ignore the old causes and we have to. look at them and look at what

are the reasons which brought us to the situation and we are going to look at them we will see that there is no hope for the people provided to give them just solution for their crisis those humanitarian crisis humanitarian tragedies there is. a missing part of it which is the hope for solution and the hope for the just solution not not just a solution but really the solution which will address. their real concerns so after providing them with this with a just solution and providing them with a. positive condition of human rights where they can. practice their rights without any resistance from their. tyrants leaders or

from other countries then the safety will provided then we can provide them with the economy development which is very important to empower those country in order not to be in need to travel and to take. to take on all this way to come to europe to find a better chance for for their lives. we see that maybe i have presented this which looks for. a dark picture but it's not really. as dark as i have explained that it's not coming because of the situation of what's happening there and we are just standing from a distance and looking at it without moving and taking really serious steps to put and for this procession situation and we stopped those power players from continuing their games and their adventures.

and we need to take a serious is that right now to engage in a regional security dialogue and to agree on the principles which all the countries should adhere to whether it's a small or big there should be principles which unites us together and from those principles we can go for the next level of cooperation where we. build on our political and security agreement another level of economy cooperation which will never be disrupted by political conflict and will be protected by this this is our view but this is the way we see it is not because only of the gulf are crisis and what's happened is.

illegal unilateral measures by the blockading states but it's our view because of what we see that a concern for the entire region that might go to another cycle of turmoil and we need to avoid and we need to stop it from now. it's up to you. are listening in the comments of carter's foreign minister at the mediterranean conference in rome addressing uniting principles which he called for all that's necessary for countries to adopt in order to meet the next level of cooperation in facing some of the challenges which the region and beyond our faces. former senior adviser to u.s. president on trial has admitted lying to the f.b.i. about his contacts with russia michael flynn is the first trump administration official to be charges part of a criminal investigation by special counsel robert muller a former national security advisor says

a senior member of trance transition team asked him to reach out to dry shoes and bags that are to the u.s. before the president's inauguration a move that is not allowed now his guilty plea shows flynn is cooperating with the mother investigation and could be an important source for information for prosecutors investigating others in the white house kimberly how to report. arriving at federal court in washington michael flynn ignored shouted questions by reporters. inside moments later the former national security adviser to president donald trump pled guilty to lying to the f.b.i. court documents show the charges against flynn stem from his lying about efforts to obtain advance knowledge of how foreign governments might vote on a u.n. security council resolution about israel as well as phone conversations flynn had before trump was even sworn in as president with the former russian ambassador to

the united states survey kiss lee ak flynn is said to have suggested to kiss liane sanctions put in place against russia by the obama white house may be dropped once trump was sworn in but they did not discuss anything having to do with the united states decision to expel diplomats or or impose a censure against russia flints lies to the vice president about that phone call led to his dismissal after just three weeks in office in a statement trumps lawyer said flynt false claims mirror the false statements to white house officials which resulted in his resignation in february of this year nothing about the guilty plea or the charge implicates anyone other than mr flynn but his plea in fact may directly tie the oval office to the investigation by special counsel robert muller and whether or not the trunk campaign worked with

russia this suggests that mr flynt has more information to provide about other things the white house has lied about other things the president himself may have lied about and whether or not the white house including the president himself colluded with russia according to the former f.b.i. director james comey trump once asked him to drop the case against flynn and despite claims by the. the president's lawyer claims cooperation with the f.b.i. probe shows that lowers investigation is ask. could lead to charges against an even bigger target clothing the president of the united states kimberly health that al-jazeera washington speculation is now turning to who might be implicated next in the investigation how to call hayne is being gauging reaction on capitol hill. general michael flynn was a very visible part of trump's campaign for president one of his earliest and closest advisers his job often go after hillary clinton. by her

that's right. that chance came back to haunt him friday oh. and. his guilty plea will make it that much harder for the white house to downplay the investigation but the f.b.i. now admits is looking into potential collusion between russia and the trump campaign which the president has called a witch hunt but i think most of us believe it's not a witch hunt or a hoax and that the f.b.i. director and all others believe this is a legitimate concern for their part democrats dismissed the white house assertion that flynt was a minor figure in the administration part of this is yourself from one of the most visible of your campaign surrogates and your national security adviser we want to wish everybody a merry christmas and on thursday night trump seemed to bask in the spotlight lighting the national christmas tree it was a much different scene after the news broke friday reporters kept out of a planned photo shoot in the oval office the president who seems to love to talk.

and tweet stayed silent general flynn is the fourth person close to president that's been caught up in this investigation now that we know he's cooperating it's pretty much guaranteed he won't be the last to call him al-jazeera washington. police in germany have used water cannons to disperse demonstrators in the city of hanover they're protesting against the far right party which is gathering to elect a new leadership the anti migrant anti islam polity won almost one hundred seats in parliament in september's general election it's gearing up to oppose chancellor angela merkel's yet to be formed government. there will be germany's official opposition party if michael and his into a coalition with the social democrats there if he wants to introduce a proposal to repatriate syrian refugees this will be debated in parliament but

almost all of the parties are expected to vote against it controversially the far right party also wants to all of the german army which has traditionally been kept out of politics since the end of world war two and a callan joins us from the german city of hanover so how those protests shaping up now. i mean you can probably see nothing on the right behind me where we will be traveling to the first part of it we're trying to get to . the convention the convention which is about three hundred meters in front of me . to block this some six hundred delegates who are going to that convention in order to vote for a new leader. original leader all be stepped aside after the election saying that she was worried that the party was gearing to the bride and so now we'll have to elect a new leader. we are trying to with her out on the thank you for that from germany

. i'm coming to fight for her and i would say that you are the only around the convention center i haven't managed to block the delegate convention is underway. and now the protesters are actually gathering in another part of that city. it will start to kick off the official protests it was very expecting some eight thousand protesters in the city of kind of a today but the scuffles that we've seen so far have been a much smaller group probably up to about one hundred that we will or guards outside take us inside the congress meeting there how much of an ideological crossroads was the find itself at this point. well quite a big ideological crossroads in fact so i mean they now have to make a decision now that they call them and a body that is to the right of the conservatives for the first time since world war

two they now have to decide how much they will going to divide there is one part of the eye that that is very much advocating a very hard line policy and another moema faction that would appeal to say more conservative voters and take away bargains from the c.d.u. block that is run by angela merkel as you mentioned earlier does put said germany also are at a crossroads because it's not a question of how far rides. of of where the politics will be pulled to the right but the problem it will actually have to debate some of the things that the i see he's considering such as retired creating the syrian refugees and they think that. it will hold a controversial proposal that they would put forward things like banning circumcision of male babies that some quite far out policy far right policies that are being discussed but then the other part of the eye is very much wanting to

broaden its appeal base and preparing very much to be the opposition in case the coalition told us that happening between angela merkel and the social democrat actually they form a coalition then we are we will have the numbers to be the biggest opposition leader in the fall of the on the calendar thanks for the. palestinian chief negotiator is warning the u.s. will be playing with fire if it recognizes jerusalem as the capital of israel card was referring to reports u.s. president could announce the policy change on wednesday the white house insists the final decision hasn't been made the status of jerusalem has been one of the most sensitive subjects of the israeli palestinian conflict as both sides claim the city is their capital. i mean. everyone has informed the u.s. administration that jerusalem isn't just a palestinian question it's an arab islamic and christian question the u.s.

administration understands the enormity of the subject we're being told that promises were made during the election campaign which would postpone internal u.s. problems that are facing trump or anyone else. but this is a very big issue touching to roost touching the al aqsa mosque touching the church of the holy sepulcher is playing with fire there's no meaning for a palestinian state without east jerusalem as its capital now is an executive committee member of the palestinian liberation organization joins us now from ramallah good to have you with us so any change in the u.s. position on juries and how much of a game changer would that be for the peace process. well this would strike at the heart of any chances of peace let alone any peace process that the americans are thinking ah this would then i laid the chances of peace this would also constitute a great provocation for palestinians for at ups for muslims for christians who are

people who are committed to international law because this means that the us has become complicit with the israeli occupation with israeli illegal unilateral actions like the annexation of two of us alone it would be a direct blow to any chance for the u.s. to play on your own and peacemaking it would disqualify itself and at the same time it would undermine its standing in the region and beyond i don't let most dangerous i say to you the israelis are a constant source they they say every country has the right to designate its own capital and the u.s. recognition of that would simply be sort of normal fare all. yes fine i would like to designate my capital and palace for example you don't designate your capital on other people's law on land you stole your part from other people but this has to be made clear jerusalem as a whole east and west is not recognized as israeli because according to one and two

on east and west to. separate out them that's why nobody recognizes jerusalem as the capital of israel east jerusalem is also universally and legally recognized as occupied territory it was forcibly occupied by the one nine hundred sixty seven so in that sense and forty eight over by force west and sixty seven and took over in forty eight and sixty seven at took over easter islam by force and next it illegally it is basically a thing of forgery transforming it's got to getting out systematic ethnic cleansing and so on and jerusalem and now it wants the world to recognize this that is no way in which jerusalem can be extracted from the heart of palestine or in which it can be an israeli city exclusively isn't a city and if you want it is illusion then you would recognise west jerusalem as capital of israel you would recognize east jerusalem as the capital of palestine

this is in the context of accepting the two state solution on the sixty seven borders let me ask you what implications any sort of change in the us position would have for palestinian politics i mean would this not be seen as a failure of the palestinian political class. well you can always blame the victim unfortunately we cannot decide on the polishes on the politics on the domestic realities of the us if we are a decisive factor their way back is their way is madness and domestic politics then you can say we failed the problem is that it is very convenient to always blame the palestinians for the work that is done by others for the injustice that they suffer if. a suffering from a domestic scandal if he is raising the specter of islam a phobia and so on if he is trying to find this tractions and diversions if he has

people and the white house who are logically to that item that the now that is a problem that we suffer from it's their problem but it is also directed against the palestinians and i think the problem now is that we are being asked to transform or change that reality is within that engine and outside i think if damp takes this position then singlehandedly he will be responsible for creating a situation of tremendous instability and violence and of laying open the whole issue of religious and spiritual affiliation and transforming the conflict into a religious conflict and that is something that nobody can control or contain once the genie is out of the bottle and i shari franks feel full so much. security forces in honduras have been given extra powers to stop violence that followed a disputed presidential election one person has been killed in scuffles between police and opposition supporters and dozens injured

is in many of their anger muslims are living in camps so we finally use the world charles how is that going down in some of the camps that you've been visiting. well many of the ranger are completely unaware of the what the pope has said in the last twenty four hours and doubts a belief that his use of the word range is going to draw massive international attention to the crisis here but in terms of the kind of practical results that are going to come from his visit i mean that's a completely different matter. the situations in the camps are dire i mean the crisis continues it doesn't matter which aid agency you speak to they're all struggling to get enough food. and safe sanitation clean water conditions for the more than six hundred twenty five thousand range of refugees that have arrived

since august the twenty fifth i mean just on a practical level looking at the wells many of the wells that have been dug for example in the last two months according to some aid agencies they're saying that up to seventy percent of those wells are now contaminated and then you look for example at this so-called really patrie ation deal that is being put forward by bangladesh and myanmar a deal that in villages in two months the movement of potentially hundreds of thousands of ranger back to myanmar the u.n. aid agencies again say that this deal is absolutely facile call when there are so many thousands of people who are deeply traumatized whose homes have been destroyed . they are supposed to be identified by the bangladesh government then that identification process is verified by the myanmar government before they go back here in this repatriation deal many of these ranger don't even have i.d.'s as we

know the me and my what was then the burmese government withdrew citizenship for the reinjure in one nine hundred eighty two they've suffered a military crackdown after crackdown for decades now the people we speak to in the camp. terrified at the prospect of going back so despite this visit by the pope and his eventual use of the word reinjure it seems doubtful whether this is going to have any kind of impact certainly at this stage on the policies of the myanmar government all right we'll leave it there for now thanks so much charles stratford . now dutch prosecutors say bosnian cried war criminal slobbered died after taking potassium cyanide inside a courtroom in the hague that's the conclusion of very preliminary post-mortem examination finally i drank the poison in front of u.n. judges on wednesday the seventy two year old who lost an appeal against a twenty year sentence for war crimes in bosnia in the one nine hundred ninety s.

copper wire that are the most profitable a good chunk of this waste gets burned illegally because they simply easier to extract copper this way usually happens on the hill surrounding the time but this is agricultural land a look at what's left behind ashes and metals the burning happens usually at night the minerals are instructed the shark called remains left a small four hours miss by. furious which each fire more of his crops are destroyed. it's like a cancer no one can walk here anymore. even the sheep can to be here they're not breeding anymore look at my all the trees isn't the death. looking around most of his olive trees have been poisoned by the toxic fumes scientists say this unregulated transfer of electronic waste is having a long term impact on the people of and its landscape recent tests on soil samples

have revealed some astonishing results. we were shocked by the high levels of heavy metals like had me i'm in the lead they already exist in nature around one milligram particular of soil but we found tens of thousands of other grounds we kill or soil in the samples that are very high level and we destroy the soil and aquifers it affects human life is a greater concern releasing particles of heavy metals that don't decompose and make their way to different ed now was one set down that thrived on agriculture known for its olives and i'm and now it's fields are home to carcasses of t.v.'s computers and fridges but at the. head now in the occupied west bank. doctors in texas have delivered the first baby born in the united states as a result of a womb transplant the hospital in dallas released this picture of a newborn the mother is one of several women in the u.s. who received uterus transplants in the past year milestone comes three years after

again there is disconnection and lack of resources for such stories so. i want to start and forth about it and hopefully it will attract others in the region as my is one of several catch authors to emerge this year previously many of them would have had to have found publishes abroad there are twenty newly published books on the shelf alone they're all written by catteries in arabic and published by catalogues first privately owned publishing house and there seems to be an emphasis on the country's identity as well as society if you take this book for example you'll see it's called capital is different but us cattle remains under a blockade put in place by saudi arabia the united arab emirates bahrain and egypt there's never been a better time to nurture homegrown talent last year eighty five. and

this year almost the. and i think the interest that the ministry chose for the others and encourage them and the. facilities that encourage us to come while the blockading countries aren't attending this year's international book fair many other nations are taking part that is a more. direct effect on our care. except in one way. a lot of. our guys are felt that they have to do much better this year and terms of quantity and quality as new authors of published old invaluable manuscripts are digitized qatar's working hard to preserve its heritage and its relevance in an ever changing world so to hide out al-jazeera

doha. all right sports fans it's time to talk about something a comeback with fun huh that's right thank you so much sammy tiger woods is continuing to make a successful return to competitive golf in the bahamas the fourteen time major champion is playing for the first time in ten months because of his fourth back surgery and he briefly found themselves back at the top of the leaderboard on friday with his fans the albany golf club were delighted when he made this eagle on the nine told to take the lead in the second round the american went on to carve a four under par round of sixty eight to but it wasn't enough to hold on to top spot it's charlie hoffman who had his bat heading into day three he's three shots ahead of nearest challengers jordan speed and tommy fleetwood woods is five behind . like today could have easily gotten to double digits under par. put me probably want to but. think i'm still in. two more days and so i think it's

possible little harder tomorrow. you know i think a good solid round should give me up in there the draw for the twenty thousand football world cup in russia has been decided host russia will play saudi arabia in the opening match and christian out christian rinaldo those portugal have been drawn alongside two thousand and ten winners spain the group stage draw took place in moscow on friday with european champions portugal up against morocco and iran as well as spain in group b. defending champions germany are in group with mexico sweden and korea. well let's take a look at the draw in full rushes opener with saudi arabia will take place on june the fourteenth in moscow egypt and uruguay the other group eighteen group b. is portugal spain morocco and around nine hundred ninety eight champions france are the top seeds in group c. alongside australia peru and denmark argentina face first time qualifiers iceland in group d. croatia and nigeria also in their brazil are in with switzerland costa rica and

serbia in group after germany will be aware that the last two defending champions have been knocked out in the group stages belgium england panama and make up a group g. with poland senegal colombia and japan in the final for the top two from each group will progress into the knockout rounds spawn and be welling's house more. the first thing that really stood out about the draw was actually a much spying versus portugal that could only come about because spying wanted the top seed you always expect spying with their brilliant track record to be among the top seeds but they weren't and they won't play portugal what i would say is with a walker when they run in the group both spain and portugal will expect to progress whatever happens in the march between them as for the first time finalists. you could barely have got a more attractive guy for them to apply the smallest lever to take part in the world cup

a fantastic achievement to qualify despite what they achieved in the european championship last year and they're playing argentina in moscow it's going to be another amazing day for the people of iceland what i would say is to manage expectations it's going to be extremely difficult for iceland to pick up points in that group don't really don't expect them to qualify for the knockout stages if they don't it will be quite a story in terms of the toughest. i look at brazil switzerland costa rica and serbia and i think you've got three. one really strong team this being my favorites and i think they're going to call anything the group of death but i think that one looks the toughest along possibly with that ice and group with argentina in it as well as croatia and nigeria former england manager sam allegorize says appertains ambitious plans for the future convinced him to come out of retirement and make a return to the english premier league the sixty three year old has signed an eighteen month deal as everton's manager the club are in the bottom half of the
