The experts are standing by with your questions. We are going to begin with that breaking news in the middle east. Israel has been pounding targets in gaza all night long. Alaqsa tv reports the ministry of finance in western gaza was hit by an air strike. Carl is there live in gaza city. We have been hearing multiple explosions coming out of gaza this evening. Whats going on now . Reporter absolutely, don. That has been pretty much the patent for this evening after night fell. What we saw when a lot of israeli illumination rounds lighting up the night sky over gaza city. That continued for about two hours. We heard the constant rounds overhead. Because it is a moonless night on the gaza strip, those illumination rounds were being sent into the air so that the drones that are equipped with High Resolution cameras could do their work, for apparent targets down on the ground. After that had been going on for about two hours, then the air strikes came in. We got the sound and the pictures
Remember, every u. S. Administration since 1967 along with the entire International Community has recognized East Jerusalem as among the territories that Israel Occupied in the sixday war. Now, i want to stress this point. We fully respect israels profound historic and religious ties to the city and to its holy sites. We have never questioned that. This resolution in no manner prejudges the outcome of permanent status negotiations on East Jerusalem which must, of course, reflect those historic ties and the realities on the ground.

The egyptians and palestinians had long made clear to all of us, all of the International Community their intention to bring a resolution to a vote before the end of the year. And we communicated that to the israelis and they knew it anyway. The United States didnt draft or originate this resolution. Nor did
Story for us and joins us now. Ryan, trumps Transition Team telling flynn the Russian Ambassador he was communicating with was likely being monitored byes u. S. Intelligence and where does this investigation go . Well, this is important, fred, because it shows that trump transition officials were aware of the complications that were surrounding sergey kislyak, the Russian Ambassador and his connections to russian intelligence agencies and furormore, their further more their attempts to intervene in the u. S. Election. This came at a time when flynn had meetings with kislyak and spoke about sanctions handed down by the United States. Now even though kislyak received those warnings, he continued to stay in communication with kislyak and at one point the trump transition asked the Obama Administration for a profile, a cia profile, of kislyak so that flynn would have a full understanding of who he was dealing with. We dont know if flynn ever read that report. Of course, fred, Michael Flynn
But someone is not going to be happy with that photograph. That is the biggest turnout at a Christmas Tree lighting in history. There has never been so many. All of d. C. Comes to a halt because of the traffic is so bad. Yesterday the streets were empty. You look at this picture. There were people that did sidebyside comparisons with last year and this year. Last year, it was a mob scene. It shuts washington down. You cant move anywhere around. People are just disgusted. Guys, it was a nice, warm, mild evening. Yeah, there is no reason. Nobody showed up. Yeah. Interesting. Okay. That looks like the biggest proud i ever seen. A picture speaks a thousand words. A thousand empty seats at least. Thats a low turnout. That would be a very small crowd. Actually there is no dispute. Its so sad. People didnt show up. That will be like this crowd at donnys Birthday Party tonight. I feel a dispute brewing from the press briefing this afternoon. That would be so much fun if he actually asked his p
