Bilateral cooperation as well as bring relations to a qualitatively new level. Trump calmed it a nice letter and agreed russian president s view. Compared to a quote we heard on msnbc. Reporting from trump that he said, let it be an arms race between the u. S. And russia. That was trumps response when asked to clarify a tweet yesterday where he called on the u. S. To greatly strengthen and expand its Nuclear Capability. Bring in Senior International correspondent Matthew Chance and pentagon correspondent brash starr. Matthew, what did Vladimir Putin say about this letter and the suggestion of a new Nuclear Arms Race . Reporter yeah. He didnt mention the letter. Something that came out, the Trump Transition Team in florida. But he talked about the possibility of a Nuclear Arms Race. Asked about an epic press conference throughout the course of the day that lasted nearly four hours and asked about this trump tweet. He cast it to one side, downplayed it somewhat saying he dpn s didnt see
There is no policy. We speak with cdp and they said they are waiting on washington for guidance. They said it is a weekend and it is slow right now and that does not seem right when all of these people are being detained. We came here to support a number of people who are being in our opinion unlawfully detained. We are very gratified that mr. Darwish has been released. But there are still 11 other people, one of who is represented by legal counsel, as was mr. Darwish. They are also being unlawfully detained under very unclear authority. Did they tell you why he was released and the other man was not . No. Did they tell you why they decided to release him . No. Hes tired. Hes not going to take anymore questions. What are you going to do now . [ cheers and applause ] youre seeing the man raise his fist right now. He was traveling with his family. We understand hes been employed by the u. S. Government by working as a translator overseas, making his way back to the United States with his
Negotiating with these two hijackers who said they had grenades and were threatening to blow up this plane. But they were able to negotiate first the passengers off. We saw the women and children going first, then later they released the men, 111 passengers, then finally they were able to negotiate with the hijackers and get them off as well as the crew. We are hearing from maltese officials the hijackers have been apprehended. Right now they are trying to learn exactly what were the motives behind this hijacking and from the video that we have been watching as this event has unfolded, at one point we saw one of the hijackers walk outside with a green flag.

Leaving the president elect to tweet great move on delay by v. Putin i always knew he was very smart. We will press two key trump allies whether its a good idea to appear so cozy with a leader in russia who rules with an iron fist. But well also explore mr. Obamas fading power. Today he was even dissed by the british with whom we are said to have a special relationship diplomatically. Now apparently not so special. British Prime Minister theresa may unexpectedly scolded secretary of state john kerry saying it was inappropriate to spend so many time attacking israel earlier this week. That was widely seen as a sign that even the british are done with the obama years and waiting for the Trump Administration to get going. Major developments to chew over though tonight we will get you ready for new years eve. Several live reports and make time for other intriguing stories. Maybe its not surprising that another singer tonight is saying she will not perform the Donald Trumps inauguration. Bu
