athletes around the world but it's not just athletes having their say on this u.s. and as a john mccain tweeted about it as well saying the ban was justice for blood to me putin's government and he called on faith added to a list of reasons why next year's world cup shouldn't be held in russia one need just to say the decision hasn't been popular among russian athletes especially those who've never been implicated in any wrongdoing such as figure skates a huge enya met the ever who was only fourteen when sochi took place she'd been favorite to win gold in. chung but tokyo i.o.c. that dream of competing at the olympics may now be said unfortunately now i understand i can lose this child because of circumstances that do not depend on me in any way i cannot accept the option that i would compete in the olympic games without the russian flag as a neutral athlete or the head of the russia's olympic committee was a neutral more positive take a listen to what he said but keep an eye out for the logo in the top right of the screen. sort of scary does that preclude the decision that i should say

mccain has to say about that press freedoms anyway report he tweeted shows a record number of journalists imprisoned worldwide in twenty seventeen including twenty one on fake news charges poetess a united states president must understand his harmful rhetoric only empowers repressive regimes to jail reporters and silence the truth courtney talked to us about what quote unquote fake news has done for press freedom. so fake news as a catchall term obviously there are things such as distant from asian campaigns but what we see is the that fake news is a term that's used to diligent my is journalism to try to undermine journalism and to try to essentially undermine as keep democracy so it's very concerning when you see china and official chinese agencies coming out and welcoming president trump's use of the word fake news it's very disturbing when you have come both using the fake news excuse to kick out independent media from their country it's disturbing when you see russia and egypt using that as an excuse to imprison journalists and not only that to then deny them medical care it's comple

mccain has more from berlin. today it's been about shoring up the vote for each party the lead candidates of the social democrats and the christian democrats have separately been in their home states trying to get as many people as possible aware of what their agenda is for and give america a christian democrat chancellor that meant a trip to where she was meeting party supporters party members and talking in an audience participation sort of scheme about why she believes she is the right candidate to carry on the prosperity she says germany has enjoyed these past four years for martin schulz that meant a visit to his home state of north rhine-westphalia to a rally in where he talked about the need for social justice to be enhanced in this country and that more german should benefit from the prosperity of the past four years the point to make behind all this is that the opinion polls have consistently placed angered americal and her party far ahead of the social democrats and of martin schultz one other point to to bring up is the third place race who will finish in third place

coalition the mccain reports from berlin. a moment of celebration for the christian democrats can in first place but for some it was a hollow victory they lost almost one hundred seats in this election so anger will very probably remain as chancellor this is a choice. of course we're facing huge tax. and parliament will carry out a profound because we want to win back the vote of the by solving problems and listening to that and sometimes that. will through good politics. and there are many of those voters four years ago the far right alternative for germany party failed to win any seats in its first federal election campaign this time with an anti refugee. islam platform it nearly tripled its vote and will be the third largest party in parliament. yeah my five because we've been given an electoral mandate and we will accept this electoral mandate with humility because millions of voters have given us their trust to carry out constructive opposition work in the german parliament and we will deliver ladies and gentlemen we will deliver. for the social democrats this was a disastrou

wait it out sorry to interrupt you but we shouldn't lose sight of the fight that john mccain has being very critical of president and he's so there's no sign of going he's setting a standard there and yet these senators are making these statements at a point of which they basically have nothing left to lose they're going to leave leave the senate well john mccain also has nothing left to lose he was just reelected in two thousand and sixteen and with his brain cancer he has liberated to be able to do and say what he wants he knows the chances for him to be reelected the u.s. senate and six years are minimal and that he probably won't be running for reelection or even be there and there aren't that many republican senators or congressmen who are in that unique position yes there are members of the senate like ben sasse lisa murkowski and susan collins who will say from time to time something isn't right but we are hearing full throated attacks of the president from john mccain same with bob corker and now jeff flake. however i don't think that there are many republicans who are wi

mccain a republican senator from arizona who said that trump was being naive that he certainly wasn't putting america first when he was believing a former colonel from the k.g.b. that kind of backlash i think led to a flip flop by donald trump who now said that he believes putin believes he didn't meddle but he's now backing his own intelligence community but if you're watching this from the united states and your watching essentially the leader of the free world on this very important foreign trip saying one thing one day and then one thing the next it is in fact extremely confusing and it is in fact giving his critics lots of vimy nation to bring president trump down and say look you're backing the leader of russia someone who doesn't have america's interests at heart against your own intelligence community who are pretty clear that the russians did in fact meddle in the twenty sixteen election the criticism isn't new and yet he remains determined to have a good for nations where russia more than has predecessors. you know he really i mean if you look at past elections and yo

about john mccain also has nothing left to lose he was just reelected in two thousand and sixteen and with his brain cancer he is liberated to be able to do and say what he wants he knows the chances for him to be reelected in the u.s. senate in six years are minimal and that he probably won't be running for reelection or even be there and there aren't that many republican senators or congressmen who are in that unique position yes there are members of the senate like ben sasse lisa murkowski and susan collins who will say from time to time something isn't right but we are hearing full throated attacks of the president from john mccain same with bob corker and now jeff flake however i don't think that there are many republicans who are willing to go out and join the i'm on the firing lines. you know passing legislation wasn't trumps only trouble on capitol hill a heckler taunted him and tossed russian flags. the protester was identified as ryan clayton he's a leader of a group called americans take action which wants trump to be reached a special prosecutor is investigating claims of

that they they had a problem on some of the hearings i think senator mccain in particular was warning the administration that it's been taking too long and announce a new strategy and there are some indications involve more croup some more in regional diplomacy more pressure on pakistan but the son has been crying out for details and senator mccain and self is holding up the confirmation of key people in defense department. so that strategy itself is still a bit open it's still a lot of things aren't clear yet ok very good to talk to you thank you so much for your insight richard finds from the house an institute joining us from washington iraq has stopped selling dollars to leading banks in the kurdish region and banned foreign currency transfers they're stepping up its retaliation for the current secession vote state television says parliament voted for financial sanctions in order to preserve the interests of the kaddish people iraq's neighbors iraq and turkey both with a substantial kurdish minority back in baghdad but the kurdish regional read leadership has announced pla

that's martin schultz says he'll keep fighting for votes john mccain. with voting now imminent the politicians make the final push for votes for angela merkel there was a chance to meet her party's younger activists and thank them for their work but also to spell out why she wants to remain chancellor for the next four years. we think of the future which is especially important in the eyes of young people and it's important that we also address the issue of social justice but it's equally important to talk about how we can work to achieve our prosperity. i think we have found a good balance and then it was on to her home state where the photo opportunity was with a medical team teaching resuscitation techniques but if anything needs reviving its her rivals campaign the social democrat candidate martin schultz has crisscrossed the country these past weeks but from the start polls have suggested he and his party are less popular than merkel in hers his last election rally was in his home state where his message was about the need for greater social justice i mean. we don't want to fo

that al-jazeera. well let's go straight to the mccain who's also in berlin dominic plenty still to sorts out in the wake of this election result. plenty indeed there are all sorts of an answered questions being posed here at christian democrats headquarters about where they go next how they move forward they clearly have the largest share of the vote in this election result of police in the exit polls but who will they govern with next the questions as we heard in a report that people are saying here it's called the jamaica coalition the colors of the national flag of jamaica black for the christian democrats gold for the free democrats liberals and the green for the green party but will those parties be prepared to compromise to form a coalition and then the next question obviously is what is the effect of this resurgence of the far right in germany what sort of effect will that have the fact there will be more than eighty members of the new parliament supporting this far right policy was put some of those questions to my guest here who is from rasmussen global an organization set

is a very striking thing which is exactly what senator john mccain said. away and not entirely away from russia. also saying that there are you know there are much bigger problems to address right now with russia like like ukraine like terrorism what do you make of this the sort of sudden kind of globalist turn and what he's saying well he's always said that it would be nice to get along with russia but the thing is his of ministration has really not entered into serious negotiations on any of these issues it's certainly true that great powers should always try to negotiate on things that they have an interest in jointly but it's also of our interest not to have our elections hacked it's also a great interest not to get them into our machines and trump not taking this seriously means we're not really building a defense against next time and how seriously do you think he's taking the north korean issue which he was also speaking about because on the one hand. he seemed to be somewhat conciliatory when he was in china he called north korea you know a murderous regime a menace that had

circles including senator john mccain to think that you believe that he is saying he did not interfere in the election could you once and for all definitively sir yes or no say whether or not you believe that president putin and or russia interfere in the election what i said that i'm surprised that there's any conflict on this what i said there is that i believe he believes that and it's very important for somebody to believe i believe that he feels that he and russia did not meddle in the election as to whether i believe it or not i'm with our agencies especially as currently constituted with their leadership i believe in our intel agencies our intelligence agencies i've worked with them very strongly there weren't seventeen as was previously reported there were actually four but they were saying there was seventeen there were actually four but as currently led by fine people i believe very much in our intelligence agencies now at the same time. i want to be able because i think it's very important to get along with russia to get along with china to get along with vietnam to get alon

and a joint statement john mccain and ben cardin said the white house says yet to identify which elements of the russian state should be sanctioned they said the delay calls into question they trump the ministrations commitment to the sanctions bill at least twenty one people had think killed hundreds are missing and wildfires in the u.s. state of california thousands of firefighters are battling twenty two fires in the northern part of the state through our concerns that several of the fires could merge into one huge front more than thirty five hundred homes and businesses have been destroyed take a board has more from santa rosa in california. this is the journey's end mobile home park and in a scene like this it seems as if the worst might be behind us the flames have died down and it's just down to to counting the cost to the ruins of a place like this unfortunately because of the great chaos of a fire like this and the fact that communication systems are are so intermittent there are still terrible costs to be counted over two hundred people are missing in this county alone

mccain the republican senator from arizona who is a. deeply critical of president trump has already said that trump is being naive that this is not putting america first when he believes that a mere putin over his own intelligence community so it is very confusing for everybody back here in the united states especially given that this investigation is going on and it's a very serious investigation with far reaching consequences so to summarize we have a president from twenty four hours ago saying he believes russia's leader that there was no meddling in the u.s. elections despite all the evidence and twenty four hours later we now have him back in his own intelligence community saying actually i'm with these guys not with this guy right he's certainly seems determined doesn't seem to have a good relationship with russia why's that. i mean that's a good question i think he's shown a deep admiration for vladimir putin from the time he was candidate from through to the time that he's now president he says that he's a good man that he has a great relationship with him despite the fact w

upset john mccain joins us live now from berlin so what are the candidates doing in the last hours of campaigning. well rachele they are both trying to shore up the vote that they hope to receive tomorrow anger merkel the chancellor was a christian democrat headquarters her party's headquarters here in berlin a short time ago speaking to young activists who are going out there today knocking on doors trying to get votes and she was saying to them well look this election is about your future is about the economy which hopefully will bring benefits to all germans that they will all be able to share in the prosperity of this country her main rival you were referring to in your introduction martin short's from the social democrats where he is addressing a rally in his home state in the city of aspen where he is pressing his his claims that germany needs more social justice that there is need for a change in society a change in government but as you were saying the opinion polls well they suggest that he has very little chance of being chance of becoming chancellor after tomorrow's electio

mccain saying that president trump is clearly not putting america first when he's siding with a former k.g.b. colonel against his own intelligence community something he's since flipped around but what you can take from all this is it seems that president trump does want to have some kind of good relationship with russia and certainly seems to be someone who has a great deal of admiration for vladimir putin and gallagher there live from washington d.c. andy thank you now the syrian province of aleppo is again under heavy bombardment by government warplanes targeting rebel fighters the air raids have forced thousands of civilians to flee the area and set up makeshift camps in the country say some a binge of aid has more now from gaziantep on the border between syria and turkey. the war in syria is far from over. the army and air force of president bashar al assad and his allies continue to attack opposition positions in the southern countryside of aleppo province regime forces are advancing to secure an important supply route or highway that connects damascus to aleppo city. figh

senatorjohn mccain, a very brave man, who made a tough trip to get here and vote. on this vote, the ayes are 43, the noes, 57. the ammendment falls. senator, what now? today was an important day. there are many republicans who don't like this bill. anyone who thinks it is over is sadly mistaken. are you pleased ? on this vote, the ayes are a5, the noes, 55, the amendment is not agreed to. we have been asked by the leadership for days to vote on the least common denominator, the skinny bill. the devil is always in the detail. what does skinny repeal mean? we have to have republicans and democrats sit together and come up with a bill that gets a majority in both houses. i am not supporting the legislation as it stands today. without objection. so, mr president, this is clearly a disappointing moment. i imagine many of our colleagues on the other side are celebrating. i want to say again, i am proud of the vote i cast tonight. bernie! it is consistent with what we told the american people we would try to accomplish in four straight elections. this weekend marks 100 years since the third battle

way? well, there isjohn mccain... there are, and we've seen it this week in the debate on healthcare in the senate. there are some very fine people in the united states congress. maybe there are people we aren't sure of yet like nikki haley, the ambassador to the united nations. just one name. maybe there is somebody who can show some sort of sense of historic responsibility and perspective, who can begin to bind these wounds. the ball is in the court of the republican party. they have to do theirjob, and to start thinking about themselves. they have to tidy the mess. i mean, they make me think, trump makes me think of petain, i mean, they make me think, trump makes me think of marshal petain, the darkest hour was france in the 20th century. the republican party members as well. they really need to do something. it's not the democrats, the democrats lost the election. i think we need to have an optimistic view of this. america has had a tremendous potential throughout its history to get itself into big trouble, but it's also shown tremendous potential to get itself out of

alternative. john mccain returned to capitol hill for the first time since he was diagnosed with brain cancer, to urge all senators to work together. i hope we can again rely on humility, on our need to co—operate, on our dependence on each other, to learn how to trust each other again and in doing so better serve the people that elected us. stop listening to the bombastic loudmouths on the radio and television and internet. to hell with them! and the fate of the us attorney general appears to be hanging in the balance, he was for a long time one of mr trump's closest allies, but now the president has called him weak and said time will tell about his future. mr trump is very publicly seething about the fact thatjeff sessions stood aside from the fbi inquiry into russian interference in the 2016 election. this from our north america editorjon sopel. jeff sessions, the man who presides over america's judicial system, seemingly about to face rough justice from his boss and one—time close friend, the president. for the past two days, donald trump has taken potshots at his top law
