S. For years to come however there were protesters and there are a lot of people in the country that are very much against this bill in fact the latest polls show that fifty five percent of americans were against it primarily because they say it is going to mostly cut taxes on Corporate America and benefit the top one percent of earners in america at the expense of the middle class and the working poor because the tax cuts for the middle class and working poor are just temporary and theyre eventually going to go away thats not the case for the Corporate Tax cuts also this bill will add more than one point four trillion dollars to the National Debt whats next on wednesday the house of representatives will do one final vote on this bill they actually voted on it tuesday night however because of a provisional mistake they have to reboot on wednesday but its expected that once again the house of representatives will also approve this at which point it will then go to donald trump and he will then sign it. Scott lucas is professor of american politics at the university of birmingham he says a significant aspect of the tax bill is the same in the unrelated provisions republicans have managed to include the Arctic NationalWildlife Reserve which is a protected area one of the most beautiful in the world has now been opened up to oil and gas drilling despite Environmental Concerns having failed to repeal obamacare the some of the republicans have now stripped the individual mandate from and now thats the provision the since all americans have to have insurance or face financial penalties so these ongoing affects beyond the task force and we will feel them could add to that discontent alternatively the republicans are going to say look were reducing regulations dont worry about the environment look everythings rosy in america this will be the shape of the political battle i think all the way up to now its not going to bring a new round of talks aimed at ending the Syrian Civil War begins in kazakhstan when say that a day means he will focus on implementing a cease fire deal brokered by russia turkey and iran because that forum is she says the talks will also address issues including the clearance of landmines and the release of hostages in syria the french president says bashar assad is the enemy of millions of his own people after syria lead to accuse paris of supporting terrorism the war of words began as french officials blamed assads government for a failed peace talks aimed at ending the Syrian Civil War syrian president spondon saying paris has spearheaded support for terrorists in syria and is therefore unfit to discuss peace settlements the french president then hit back assad describing his statements as unacceptable because it is the International Coalition thats been at the forefront of the battle against i so. I mean while inside syria people to space for myself former stronghold of rocca so theyre being pressured into returning to their destroyed homes parents theyre worried about their Young Children stepping on unexploded bombs im going to have had reports. So so listen its not easy salvaging your clothes from the rubble but the family has little choice. Their home and rocco was hit by a near strike as i said was driven out theyd been living in displacement camps but life was so tough there back home with some fears the children could step on a mine on an unexploded munition i didnt have time im from the el much less neighborhood and constantly worried about the Young Children its difficult to live here theres nothing no house outside now after the fall of isis de facto capital the people of complain no one is helping them or his thirteen children and he says the camp management i need told him to go home and im going to look at this the house is gone theres nothing left nothing to eat or drink we need something to survive i was once home to more than a quarter of a Million People after nearly five months of fighting eighty percent of the citys destroyed. Doctors without borders says during the battle nobody cared about that of billions and the coalition inflicted a deluge of fire on the city. Reconstruction is estimated to cost billions of dollars but since isis defeat in october if you have announced the billing this to foot the bill or even provide basic Infrastructure Health care and education the ancient city was a crown jewel of empires dating back more than two thousand years its never been leveled like this before beyond the river euphrates was isis capital iraq which was under their control since two thousand and fourteen now the city has been taken over by kurdish led forces but it remains in ruins and ice limits are still being cleared. Fighters continue to discover weapons dumps. I said to leave guns and ammunition from the syrian army. Generally the area is safe but there are some mice a weapons left to protect the people we are do mining of the city we are here to protect civilians are going to the displaced population find me its hard to believe people wouldnt comment on camera but many say theyre under their Occupying Force kurdish might be defined to deny accusations that defense arabs from their towns and villages. But unless theres a serious push to rebuild and rehabilitate raptors gaping wounds bear the risk of fostering some of the group like i saw some of the job a down to zero on the western bank of the Euphrates River to spain now where campaigning for catalonia is stop parliamentary election is drawing to a close outlands head to the polls on thursday for a vote that could decide if the province breaks away from spain called that whole joins us now live from boston lend us a call a quiet day there ahead of this election some are in the race is still wide open. Absolutely lauren this is what i wanted to show you this is the Cattle Parliament this is whats up for grabs one hundred thirty five seats up for grabs in thursdays election but today is being billed as a day of reflection and that essentially is to give voters a chance to consider their options but youve really got to ask yourself that after so many months of polish tickle turmoil my guess is that most voters now know by now whether theyre going to vote for a party that favors breaking away from spain or one of the parties that favors staying with spain but lets take a look at about how the campaigning has been going. Its the last brush before campaigning closes a rally for the separatists d r c o cattle and Republican Left Party former speaker of the Regional Parliament come a fork adele is lucky to be here at all shes free on bail for now but faces criminal charges for a rebellion. I dont think anybody let alone imagine what was going to happen we could never have imagined that. After the october secession referendum prosecutors arrested key cattle and leaders for their role in organizing that vote and the spanish Central Government dissolved the capital and parliament a front seat is left empty for party leader or your john kid s. Judges refused bail and instead kept him in prison fearing he would use the hustings to grabble grounds thursdays parliamentary election isnt specifically about secession but it is the most polarizing issue voters will choose between parties who want catalonia to remain part of spain or others have clearly not renounce their goal of a breakaway republic veteran catherine politician artur mass hopes madrid look for compromise not confrontation if the Central Government. Had the real positive proposal for the cattle and people what they have to do to put that proposal on the table and to compare this proposal with the proposal for a real independent country but a necessary mothers riding high in opinion polls has little appetite for negotiating her center right Citizens Party has backed madrid in its crackdown against the separatists shell need to build a coalition but believes the only way to resolve the political turmoil is by beating the secessionists in the election will try to win will try to win and i think it is possible we we are seeing the pools and we see that it is it is not a new to appear as the hours tick down activists from the left wing see you people know vital votes a still up for grabs even in barcelonas backstreets their party is small but was kingmaker in the last election they make for an easy political bedfellows they stand against spain in the monarchy and thermally in favor of a cattle and republic run by the working classes. Now this election isnt so much about which individual party can garner the most votes but which coalition could take majority control of this cattle and parliament now if the unionist parties managed to eke out that majority then that could potentially draw a line under the cattle and political crisis if the separatist parties gain a majority then that would be seen as a mandate for them to try and push ahead with their efforts to break away that promises months more of political crisis even the potential for the madrid government to step in once again shut down the bar woman and call new elections if neither side gain a majority that another nightmare scenario according to political analysts that they say would make catalonia ungovernable laura a crucial.
