an admission of guilt donald trump's former national security advisor seeks
a plea deal for lying about his contact with russia. and agenda and this is al jazeera
live from doha also coming up extra powers for security forces in honduras after violence
breaks out of a stalled election results.
playing with fire the palestinian chief negotiator warns against any u.s. recognition of jerusalem
as the capital of israel and the draw for football's world cup reveals a powerhouse
match up we've got the details from moscow.
a former senior advisor to u.s. president donald trump has admitted to lying to the
f.b.i. about his contact with russia michael flynn is the first trump administration official
to be charged as part of a criminal investigation by a special counsel robert mueller the former
national security adviser says
a senior member of trance chump's transitional team asked him to reach out to russia's ambassador
to the u.s. before the president's inauguration a move that is not allowed his guilty plea
shows flynn is cooperating with the mueller investigation and could be an important source
of information for prosecutors investigating others in the white house white house correspondent
committee reports.
arriving at federal court in washington michael flynn ignored shouted questions by reporters.
inside moments later the former national security advisor 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 tribe was even sworn in as president with the former russian ambassador to the
united states surrogate kiss li 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 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 trump 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 president's lawyer flynn's cooperation with the f.b.i. probe
shows that most investigation is ask. could lead to charges against an even bigger target
including the president of the united states kimberly helped get al-jazeera washington
bruce fein is a former u.s. justice department official and constitutional lawyer he told
al-jazeera why this case could be of great concern to the trump administration.
we know that mr
flynn got a relatively minor charge that carries maybe a prison term of less than six months
in a fine that's clearly lenient and you'd expect that mr moeller would have done that
only if he expected something in return namely cooperation which would lead to other dominoes
to fall moreover mr flynn had indicated later that someone high up in the white house directed
him to speak to miss the ambassador of russia and the only persons who would have authority
in my judgment at that level would be those who are acting at the direction of the president
himself the speculation is that gerrard questioner was the intermediary between the president
mr flynn but the idea that jared questioner on his own initiative a junior official who's
got no experience at all in government seems utterly ludicrous and that all means that
the finger is pointing more and more towards mr trump suppose that mr flynn now testifies
under oath that he acted in speaking to
mr cozy at the direction of jared questioner and now that brings then question or into
the play and questioner then is going to be asked well who spoke to you because we know
somebody of that youth and inexperience is not acting on his own a questionnaire at that
point could plead the fifth amendment or he could implicate the president one of the hazards
that i think mr trump confronts is that he's so narcissistic he doesn't really have friends
who are inclined to go the extra step to try to save him from peril he almost alienates
everybody because he throws them under the bus and teach them as disposable furniture
if he doesn't need that many more so that's going to be a real problem for him because
in many of these cases it's interpretating intent it's interpretive motivation and what
people say and in read from body language can be critical here and i don't think mr
trump really has a whole lot of allies on that score police 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 the
clear winner is yet to emerge from sunday's vote president why no london and this is narrowly
ahead of opposition candidate salvador now has claimed electoral fraud and called his
supporters on to the streets the government has imposed a nighttime curfew for ten days
and extended the powers of the military and police pope francis is wrapping up his asian
tour where you finally used the word during a mass on friday the head of the roman catholic
church blessed people during a gathering for young people in bangladesh is capital dhaka
the pontiff has been on a six day trip to bangladesh and myanmar where the international
community hoped he did address the six hundred twenty thousand who fled violence in rakhine
state he didn't specifically mention the ethnic and minority until the day five of his tour
so stratford is more from here they could have a long camp in bangladesh where many
rangar live.
the decision by the vatican for
the pope not to use the word regain judge earing his three days in myanmar had cast
a dark cloud over this asia trip but only in coming to bangladesh and meeting those
range of refugees that have traveled from this camp to dakar to see him and on him listening
to their reflect stories of suffering inside myanmar and inside these camps it seems there
was little choice for him but to mention them by name and of course this is generating a
lot of positive publicist see about this crisis but the practical the practical challenges
that these people are facing remain i mean let's look at the facts in the last week or
so the bangladesh government or the myanmar government to come together and are putting
together a plan what they describe as repatriation of potentially hundreds of thousands of ready
to back into myanmar now these refugees still still do not have citizenship still have no
more rights than they had when they arrived they are terrified about
potential of having to go back and many of them have lost property family members have
been killed this plan being put forward suggests that.
the residence you will be housed in temporary camps close to their property much of which
as i say has been destroyed so while this visit by the pope and his decision to eventually
call the river in their name is generating a lot of good publicist for the calls the
real practicalities about improving the conditions and the future of the river remains doubtful
thousands of people are expected to join a rally against germany's far right f.t. party
which is gathering in hanover to elect a new leadership the anti migrant anti islam party
captured nearly thirteen percent of the vote and almost one hundred seats in parliament
in september's general election co-leader from patrick quit the f.t. just days after
the election to form her own breakaway party it's gearing up to
oppose chancellor angela merkel's yet to be formed government and the f.t. will be germany's
official opposition party if angle or merkel enters into a coalition with the social democrats
if he wants to introduce a proposal to repatriate syrian refugees this will be debated in parliament
but is expected to be voted against by all other parties controversially the far right
party also wants to own of the german army which has been traditionally kept out of politics
since the end of world war two and the callan joins us from the german city of hanover and
i believe there were protests a little earlier on what happened.
well that's right jane we saw a few hundred protesters who were scuffling with police
they were minor scuffles on the outskirts of the center where the i have to use holding
this conference they have made it they have vowed to block delegates from coming in here
this is the
same strategy that followed protesters news when the party last met in cologne back in
april of course as you say now things have dramatically changed the eye of steve has
more than ninety.
seats in call event so they are a political force this is a watershed moment in germany
because it's the first time that a far right party has had seats in the buddha saw the
problem and since world war two those protesters as you say their numbers are growing there's
a very tight as ring of anti riot police around here there are water cannons horses police
are obviously expecting some violence you might remember the scenes that happened in
hamburg earlier this year with left protestors at the g. twenty they're hoping that a repeat
of that doesn't happen again we're seeing a trickle of delegates actually getting to
the conference center but in the next few hours we are expecting that that's when the
numbers will increase and will see this far right party trying to get to
a conference center that's surrounded by follett protest it's ok what's going to happen inside
the conference center what are we looking at politically.
i'm having trouble hearing you now jane but the.
ease as you say a political force at the moment the fear is that if i go into his into a grand
coalition with the s.p.d. the other the central left.
that they will become the main opposition in politics already we have seen that their
policy agenda is starting to filter into the problem and they have submitted the proposal
to actually reassess syria to send refugees back they claim the pots of the country i'm
now safe and that some of those tens of thousands of refugees who came to germany back in two
thousand and fifteen should be sent back this is a very controversial poddy it campaigned
on the platform of things like stop is the
mind's ation and bikini's not burkas but we in the actual party there is also a split
they will have to vote on a new leader.
as you mentioned earlier there a regional leader who they went through the election
with stepped down saying that there were parts of the party that were too radical so now
they have to vote on a new leader and the i have to really have to decide whether they
give way to the more far right radicals or the more moderate forces in their party now
that they're actually a force in palm and ok we'll be talking to you throughout the
day thanks still ahead on al-jazeera. as in the piece how a wise reacting to nuclear threats
from north korea.
hello
and welcome back it's cold and snowy across many parts of europe at the moment of course
more eastern areas temperatures really struggling frontal system is going to be quite slow moving
further south through out some storms across parts of turkey and into greece some snow
over the balkans some snow in the southern alps and cold air across central parts of
europe at the risk of some fall further towards the west it's also looking cold and shallow
with snow extending down through into parts that period potentially should die out during
the course of sunday but otherwise temperatures definitely low for this time of year the snow
still in evidence there was a move through into sunday let's head into north africa where
we still have some pretty chilly wet and windy across coastal parts of old syria and tunis
here tunis with my sort of just ten degrees celsius further along the coast where the
conditions are much they should be car in fact is looking very pleasantly warm there
with the maximum temperature of twenty seven degrees celsius and later on sunday we should
find the temperatures to just begin to recover and shoot us as we start to see the wind ease
down move into central parts of africa the weather here is generally took in pretty good
for most areas one of two showers across congo kevon congo much of west africa dry and fine
should be a nice day in accra in ghana with highs of thirty one.
again the mind of the top stories this hour police in honduras have been given extra powers
to stop violence that followed it disputed presidential election president kwan or london
and this is narrowly ahead of opposition candidate salvatore knows about his claim to electoral
fraud and called his supporters on to the streets.
thousand people expected to join a rally against germany's far right party which is gathering
in the hand of a new leadership the anti migrant anti islam party won almost one hundred seats

u.s. president on tom's former national security adviser michael flynn has admitted to
lying to the f.b.i. about his contacts with russia flynn says a senior member of trying
to transition team asked him to reach out to russians ambassador to the u.s. speculation
is now turning to who might be implicated next in the investigation particle has been
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.
that chance came back to haunt him friday.
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 well i think most of us believe
it's not a witch on her whole.
and 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 hard
to distance yourself from one of the most visible of your campaign surrogates and your
national security adviser we want to wish everybody a merry christmas is 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.
al-jazeera washington in this hour u.s. senate republicans of pos the most sweeping tax reforms
in more than three decades it is a key political victory for president donald trump after his
administration won the
support of republicans who had been holding out on friday critics say the bill will add
one trillion dollars to the u.s. budget deficit in the next decade trump says a bill which
includes a big cuts in corporate taxes will boost economic growth william black is a professor
of economics and you know with the university of missouri and kansas city he says congressional
republicans on are desperate to get their key provisions of the tax bill through.
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 gresham republicans
are now be desperate to have something pass anything that's the first part the second
part is there 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 trumps 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 fears 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.
the palestinian chief negotiator is warning that the us would be playing with fire if
it recognizes jerusalem as the capital of israel so i better cut was referring to reports
that president trump could announce the policy change on wednesday the white house insists
the final decision hasn't been made the status of jerusalem has long been one of the most
sensitive subjects of the israeli palestinian conflict as both sides claim the city as their
capital i mean.
everyone has informed the u.s. administration that jerusalem isn't just a palestinian question
it's an arab islamic christian question the u.s. administration understands the enormity
of the subject we're being told during the election campaign which was postponed internal
u.s. problems that are facing trump or anyone else.
but this is a very big issue.
touching the church of the plane with boy
there's no meaning for a palestinian state without east jerusalem as its capital.
is an assistant professor at the institute and he joins us here in the studio good to
have you with us what's going to do the big question right now i think every president
historically has signed that waiver to not move.
embassy but actually break with that tradition because it comes up every six months or. so
and i think if you want to call a pro israeli faction of the hardcore boys really faction
in his administration questioner and others are pushing for this of course question is
implicated now in the flynn scandal because he was lobbying with flynt on behalf of israel
to get russia to veto settlement resolution in two thousand and sixteen and that's when
a big scandal as well so question right now is a little bit of a liability to trump i
would hope the trump would actually you know pursue american
interests not israeli interests first but pushing israeli interests is it sort of a
diversion at the moment possibly well i think it's part of a plan he could kind of. at the
end in the beginning it wasn't that clear that he would do that but now he seems to
move in that direction to have this.
if you want to call and you're conservative even by gender together with saudi arabia
to some degree in the gulf states and even pursuing a regime change maybe in syria who
knows but it seems that he is kind of given up the earlier policy you had which was not
being implicated in these old brewing conflicts in the region not moving the embassy which
was first proposed something that also keeps coming up you know recognizing jerusalem as
israel's capital i mean it's nothing other than being highly provocative right now which
is not to have aligned with the president trump of course but bear in mind that all
presidents of brett barack obama in two thousand and eight said that you will some of the united
capital of israel and all presidents basic have endorsed that line they just haven't
put it into action even trump sign the waiver in june i believe and now it
will be up again so we'll see what happens but it would if it does go to what's a for
not going to be well he will lose even more america will lose even more credibility in
the region and it will be a further escalation to an already volatile region because that's
not what the palestinians i mean obviously that would push it over the edge right probably
i mean they would burn all bridges if you want with the palestinians for sure that nobody
could accept that in the region it.
remains to be seen but let's hope that america would be forced yes mark thank you.
egypt's foreign minister told al-jazeera he sees no end in sight to the months long blockade
of egypt saudi arabia bahrain and the u.a.e. cut diplomatic and trade ties in june accusing
cats of supporting terrorism denies this so make sure he says katz had not accepted the
concerns of the countries that imposed the blockade.
i can't really speak about a resolution because we haven't extracted from qatar any determination
that it
recognises the concerns of the three the four countries that have been mostly affected by
the qatari policies until there is that clear declaration of understanding and willingness
to change course we find that the situation remains.

latest missile threats hawaii has tested its nuclear warning signs the sirens rather the
u.s. is updating old civil defense plans and systems that they back to the cold war rob
reynolds reports from los angeles.
eerie wail of air raid sirens sounded across hole-y. on friday the first test of its civil
defense warning system since one thousand nine hundred eighty officials say they would
give her wise one and a half million residents just thirteen minutes to take shelter the
basic gardens again if you're here this is get inside still inside and see to it's a
direct response to the growing threat of war with north korea young yanks nuclear weapons
and ballistic missile program is developing rapidly undeterred by months of
threats bluster and personal insults from u.s. president donald trump they will be met
with fire fury and frankly power the likes of which this world has never see before earlier
this week north korea tested an intercontinental missile experts say could strike all of the
u.s. including east coast cities like new york and washington.
air raid sirens like this one in downtown los angeles were a feature of american life
during the cold war most of them were disconnected decades ago and technology as moved on a text
message and e-mail a phone call on your device on your smartphone whatever it is you have
and for a scenario like we're talking about the nuclear detonation that would be a presidential
notification that would hit every single phone in this country they have that capability
there's no way to override that alert and that alert will give you specific information
about what the threat is and whatever the actions of the
public can take in the past government funded full out shelters where stocked with supplies
that's no longer an option if we did have a detonation we don't have those fallout shelters
anymore people call us all the time on our public lines where the shelters so now we're
looking at sheltering in place so you may have to stay inside your home for about fourteen
days do you have enough supplies do you have enough you know first aid those kinds of things
within your own home so we're encouraging residents to do that no matter how well prepared
the general population might be a nuclear strike would be horrific it's an armageddon
scenario it's going to be a lot of fatalities a lot of areas that will not be livable habitable
for a very long time as a wise governor said this week a revived nuclear threat has become
the new normal robert oulds al jazeera los angeles.

and mouthwatering match between spain and portugal is a highlight of the opening stages
of next year's football world cup in russia the european powerhouses have been drawn in
the same group along with iraq and iran defending champions germany group effort with mexico
sweden and south korea hosts russia will play saudi arabia in the opening match of the tournament
sportscars privately welling's looks at more detail the match ups. the first thing that
really stood out about the draw was actually a much spine versus portugal that could only
come about because spain weren't in the top sage you always expect spine with their brilliant
track record to be among the top seeds but they weren't.
go what i would side with a walker when they run in the group both spain and portugal will
expect to progress
whatever happens in the match between them as for the first time finalists iceland you
could barely have got a more attractive guy for them to ply the smallest never 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 going.
i look at brazil switzerland costa rica and serbia and i think you've got three strong
tones what really strong tame this being my favorites and i think that we're going to
call anything the group of death but i think that one looked the toughest along possibly
with that ice and group with argentina in it as well as croatia and nigeria.
