President trump getting ready to break with the rest of the world today and recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. The decision to move the u. S. Embassy there and break with decades of u. S. Policy could jeopardize, were told, peace efforts. Demonstrations are planned as the region braces for a new wave of violence, and the u. S. Military places troops on alert. Abcs molly hunter joins us now from jerusalem with the very latest this morning from her post. Good morning, molly. Reporter good morning, guys. Thats right, its a Seismic Shift in u. S. Foreign policy. The u. S. Is actually calling this a recognition of reality but reaction among palestinians and across the arab world could be violent. President trumps late night calls to arab leaders one after the other prompting new alarm and the region is bracing for trouble. Recognizing jerusalem as the capital and moving the embassy could begin a new cycle of violence. Egypts president saying a move could undermine peace opportunities. Jordans King Abdullah saying it will provoke muslims and christians alike, and palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas calling it unacceptable. Various palestinian factions have now called for three dangers of rage. Is it safe to say that other than israel which thinks that this move is 22 years overdue that all of the feedback that hes been getting from World Leaders is overwhelmingly negative about this idea . No, again, he spoke with five leaders. Thats hardly indicative of everybody across the globe. Reporter but theres no other country in the world that has its embassy in jerusalem. And palestinians view East Jerusalem where there is an arab majority as the capital of any future palestinian state. President trump is apparently trying to keep it vague. Officials saying he doesnt want to prejudice the outcome of peace negotiations, but palestinians dont see it that way. Now, its not clear why President Trump is doing this right now. Former negotiators and former diplomats i spoke with said there is a reason that no u. S. Administration has done this before, now, of course, he is playing to his base fulfilling that Campaign Promise but, again, former negotiators and former diplomats i spoke with said there is not a good reason that it serves u. S. Interests right now. Diane and kendis. And abc news will have live coverage of the president s speech at 1 00 today. Molly, thanks.

Bannon accused romney of being a draft dodger. Judge moore served his country in one of the toughest wars weve ever had, vietnam. And he went over there he went over there for his country, his state and his family. Mitt, thats honor and integrity. And, by the way, mitt, while were on the subject of vietnam and honor and integrity, you avoided service, brother. Well, bannon also slammed republican senator jeff flake, who posted a picture of a 100 check that he sent to moores opponent, doug jones, the democrat in this race. Flake wrote, country over party on the check. Alabama voters head to the polls next tuesday. And we turn now to the russia investigation.

Plus, an update on the homeless man who received nearly 400,000 in donations over thanksgiving. What hes doing with the money. What hes doing with the money. Could this happen again . Was my warfarin treatment right for me . My doctor told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis had both and that turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Both made eliquis right for me.

There were two financial funds that are being set up and johnny will make donations to them to help other people in need. We also have proof this morning that every vote counts. Just ask the unlikely winner of a local election in philadelphia. This was interesting. Phillip garcia decided to write in his own name when he saw the position for judge of elections and that it was blank and he was shocked to find out that he actually won a fouryear term. He only has to work on election day, and the pay is 100. Not just small races either where every vote counts. We learned overnight the election for mayor of atlanta is too close to call.
