Attacks against foreign diplomats there is forcing them to temporarily close the embassy in the capital suna. Lets get trite strait to barbara starr. Good evening. What have you learnsed . There is more to the story than what officials are publicly saying. Behind the scenes a senior official tells me this is all about a threat to the embassy. There may be other western threats, but right now the concern is a credible threat to the u. S. Embassy in yemen. This is a threat that first emerged back in march when we saw that videotape of about 100 al qaeda operatives out together in the field. We then saw drone attacks. The u. S. Thought the threat had been disrupted, but now it has reemerged. What is so crucial here is you do constantly see a threat stream against western targets in yemen. The yemenis go after it when it can. The u. S. Goes after it when it can. But this time western targets plus the u. S. Embassy, we are told it is a credible threat. And at this hour, u. S. Officials are

Governing action he has taken. We found in most areas trump has not been very effective. He made a wide range of pledges as president often on twitter. He made no major public effort to follow through on more than half of them. His record also thin on legislation. Of the 28 bills he signed into law. 13 essentially oppose federal agency rules drafted during the obama era. Nine involve ceremonial matters. Only six are of legislative substance. Trump hasnt pushed bills on priorities he has promised like taxes or infrastructure. He signed a bill canceling an obama era rule on planned parenthood. That was a big issue for conservatives and liberals alike. Our report finds he kept delaying his own deadline on the tax bill and missed opportunities to work with his own party in close. He signed a 787 billion stimulus. This moves the economy from recession to recovery and ultimately to prosperity. We began by passing a recovery act thats saved or created over 150,000 jobs and provided a tax cut
I feel like i had a lot. Today my mouth was not keeping up with my brain. All i can say is this why i watch. Donald trump is riling republicans today. Hes saying if he doesnt get his wall, he will shut it down. Donald trump does not headache much policy but he is willing to make noise. Today doubling down on a threat to shut down the government if he doesnt get money for a boarder wall. Hes clearly reaching back to classic hits with his base. On day one, we will begin working on an impenetratable tall, powerful, beautiful, wall. Day one was a long time ago. This is day 217 and even trump allies question whether he can salvage his presidency, republicans are telling each other the party you save, may be your own. Late august is not usually the time to play your last card in legislative wrangling but trump dialing it up to 11 with this threat to shut down the government. His spokesperson didnt add much nuance today. The president sign any budget bill that does not include funding for the
