Welcome to the program of top story u. S. President donald trump has nominated heaven now it to be the next u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations shes currently the spokesman for the u. S. State department if approved by the senate now will replace nikki haley leaves the u. N. At the end of the month rosalynn jordan reports now from washington. Good afternoon its been rumored for weeks that state Department Spokesperson heather now it would be named the next u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations on friday the u. S. President confirmed the speculation. Are. Now or. Never. Nauert had no Foreign Policy experience before she joined the state department in early two thousand and seventeen she was a t. V. News presenter and correspondent most notably at the conservative Fox News Channel that background made it easy for critics to pelt after podium gaps such as this one looking back in the history books today is the seventy First Anniversary of the speech that now announced the Marshall Plan tomorrow is the anniversary of the d. Day invasion we obviously have a very long history with the government of germany and we have a strong relationship with the government already some senators and Foreign Policy experts are calling nauert supremely unqualified for the job it which detail nuance and contacts are key to negotiating matters of Global Security and stability if confirmed by the senate now or it would replace nikki haley the former state governor who was also a Foreign Policy novice spent her tenure pushing trumps America First policy demanding Institutional Reforms at the u. N. And defended human rights haley also had something important to lean on trumps confidence in her she made that clear when she announced her resignation and october no i am not running for turning twenty i can promise you when ill be doing is campaigning for thats when heather howards confirmation hearing will happen early in the new year like nikki haley before her she has the president s strong endorsement but now its going to need much more than that to persuade senators that shes the right. Person to represent and to defend the u. S. Has interests at the United Nations rosalynn jordan aljazeera capitol hill. Well u. S. President also confirmed his nomination for the role of attorney general to replace Jeff Sessions he was fined in november a White House Correspondent kimberly joins us live for more on this now william bomb has been picked by President Trump for this role what do we know about him kimberly. Well were familiar with it hes a bit of a washington establishment figure hes well liked from both democrats and republicans but at the same time some of his past positions have been somewhat controversial we did hear from the president the last hour about this appointment he called it something praising the appointment essentially of william barr saying that during his tenure when he in fact held the position previously of attorney general under George Herbert walker bush dont trump said during his tenure he showed unwavering it here as to the rule of law and certainly donald trump has made a priority of his presidency of law and order he does believe that this is a figure if confirmed by the senate that would continue those policies hes certainly shown some loyalty to to the president that is something that donald trump rises more than anything else he has at times criticized the moeller probe that is the. Investigation into whether there was collusion as well as any ties between. President ial campaign and russia he has also supported the president s calls for Hillary Clinton the former first lady and of course the democratic president ial nominee in two thousand and sixteen for her to be investigated so. You can see why this might be a point of questioning for democrats when there is the Senate Confirmation as well he has defended Donald Trumps decision to fire the former f. B. I. Director james comey so all in all hes a well known figure hes certainly got the credentials but again it appears that donald trump has selected him based on some of his more contemporary views particularly ones that seem in line and favorable to the president speaking of the most pro kembali what developments have been in the Russian Investigation today. Well there is been sort of a collective holding of breath in washington maryam about this probe because there are a number of moving parts on friday here in washington and in the northeast in fact just a couple that are really high profile as we continue to talk about capitol hill the former f. B. I. Director james comey of course fired by dont trump he is testifying behind closed doors for a House Committee bat is a testimony that is going to be eventually made Public People looking into clues there in terms of the direction potentially of the russian probe particularly some of the questioning by the republicans who will no longer control the house of representatives come january but as well as special interest in the russian probe is the fact that the former Campaign Chair paul man of fort he breaches pulley agreement with the special prosecutor Robert Mueller and in terms of lying to the f. B. I. Robert mueller will have to portray in his Court Filings how exactly poll metaphor did this why is this interesting because it lays out the direction of the investigation and then another big thing thats happened is that George Papadopoulos the one time advisor to dont trust president ial campaign he has just been released from prison we expect him to return to washington hes been friendly to the media before we expect that he may go public again with some of those comments that could be potentially unflattering to the president all together what does this mean it means that Donald Trumps been having this on his mind we saw him sort of ranting on twitter five tweets in the space of about two hours pointing the finger at Hillary Clinton angry democrats james called me Robert Muller clearly he is feeling the heat and at the same time perhaps making these high profile appointments weve been talking about as some would say is a distraction all right thank you very much for the latest from the white house can really help it. Well now germanys ruling christian democrats have elected a new leader and a great crime karrenbauer has gone second round of voting to replace Angela Merkel as leader of that party from karrenbauer one five hundred seventeen votes out of nine hundred ninety nine cost by delegates the result moves her into pope position to succeed europes most influential leader as chancellor the fifty six year old prime karrenbauer is known by the initials a. K. K. Was named as c. D. U. General secretary by Angela Merkel in february she was widely seen as merkels chosen successor she grew up in the west german state of saarland becoming an advisor to the c. D. U. There in one thousand nine hundred ninety after doing a masters in Political Science a capable political operator she took over as silent state premier in twenty eleven and led the party to victory in Regional Elections the following year a strong supporter of merkels refugee policies shes seen as a liberal in economic terms but as a committed catholic is socially conservative dominant can bring us more now from humbug. After a close fought battle there is now a new leads a new leader to take on the mantle of Angela Merkel and its the continuity candidates who will do so its an exit from the process im going to machall seen by many as the person the bangle a man who wanted to take over the job from her lets be clear this was a very close contest previous melts came from nowhere he was the man whod been frozen out of german politics sidelined as it were buying of america he came back in a blaze of publicity and eventually lost by thirty five votes out of nine hundred ninety nine but we are also clear that i am a great come down by now has the chance to shape the c. D. U. In the image she wants to take it forward in those will be the role of fighting the election campaigns Going Forward there are four important states elections next year where the c. D. U. Is fighting in states where it has been losing votes to the far right will she be able to bring those voters back and how will she take the Party Forward to a general election which given the fact that shes now been elected as continuity candidate is much more likely angloamerican will stay on until the end of her time of office and twenty twenty one thats for the future right now this party has a new leader and its a leader who is the continuity person.
