After the deadly attack monday at a Christmas Market that happen in berlin. Authorities arrested two brothers near the city of essen. The two originally from kosovo, suspecting of planning attacks in europes largest shopping mall. It is not clear if the plot is linked to the tragedy in berlin. Officials investigating that attack say theyve found more evidence involving the main suspect, fingerprints belonger to amri were found in the truck used to plow through the crowd canned market. Here is Erin Mclaughlin with more. Chilling new video of the moment a 25 metric ton truck plowed into a berlin Christmas Market monday night. This as were learning German Authorities knew in advance that amri, the prime suspect in the attack, was a potentially dangerous man. Amri spoke several times about committing attacks in germany. According to investigative records shared with cnn. German officials issuing a formal arrest warrant for europes most wanted man as new evidence points to the 24yearold tunisia as the man behind the wheel of the truck. Translator we were able to find fingerprints outside of the door of the truck and inside, and our investigation makes us assume that amri did drive the truck. A desperate manhunt for amri and possibly more suspects has let investigators on raise across germany and as far north as coastal denmark. Intelligence revelations increasing the political pleasure on chancellor merkel, germany joining france and belgium whose Intelligence Services failed to stop known security risks from carrying out attacks, this as we learn more about the suspect. In a radio interview, amris father said it has been years since he saw his son. Translator it has been about seven years since he left home. I have not spoken to him directly for that long. I do not even have his cellphone. Reporter but he has kept tram of amri, revealing his son was imprisoned in 2011, convicted of assault and arson. He was released in may 2015. Italian authorities tried to deport him, but tunisia turned him away. Two years later he crossed the border to germany. In his hometown a man claiming to be a friend said he cant believe he is a terrorist. Translator he is a normal guy who fled despair in search of a better life. Erin mclaughlin in berlin for us. Joined by chris burns, he is on the story. Chris, first of all, people that knew him talking about annis amri, the question is where could he be now . Is there any idea whether he is close by or he has fled . Reporter natalie, that is a very, very big question. Just as you saw in that report, he slipped through the cracks of german investigators. In fact, the berliners have quite a lets, shall we say, a taste for irony. This says, the gaps at the very top. It shows the gaps between the concrete blocks behind me here guarding the Christmas Market that was attacked, but it also talks about the gaps in the police investigation, and among the security agencies there are some 40 Police Security agencies spread across 16 states in germany. Theyre not all talking to each other as they should be. Now, of course, there is a manhunt going on with hundreds of German Police busting down doors, going into different apartments and buildings, looking for anis amri. They have not found him yet but the search goes on, natalie. What about his reported ties, chris, to isis . Reporter yes, the tie is to a group led by a blind hate preacher called abu walla. This is an organization that trains, recruits, even prosigoe among groups, they have boot camps, they go hiking and backpacking for ten miles. One of the trainers was a serb general training them to become battlehardened recruits to wage attacks. We know through these nearly 350 pages of german intelligence files attained by cnn that abu sorry, that anis amri said he wanted to become a suicide bomber. Why wasnt he arrested . Well, it was believed that he was not very serious about it. They didnt take him as being a big fish, so they didnt go after him as they should have. Natalie. And we know that police have made arrests of two people that might have been planning an attack. What can you tell us about them, and do we know if these were coordinated attacks that they were planning with amri . Reporter yeah, police arent yes, police are not connecting these guys with amri, so far anyway. They are two kosovar brothers, 28 and 31 years old, living in germany. They were arrested in duseberg near essen, not far from oberhausen, not far from where the mall and Christmas Market are. Thats all police are saying. They sent police to that area to make sure nothing happened, but thats about it. We dont know what kind of attack that would have been, but it is very troubling. Keep in mind in kosovo war which i covered for cnn back in 99, there were a lot of refugees, hundreds of thousands that came to germany back then and these kids have grown up. Natalie. Chris burns for us in berlin. Thank you, chris. Now to australia. Police say they have broken up a terrorist attack possibly planned for around Christmas Day in melbourne. The targets were apparently the flinder Street Railway station and st. Pauls cathedral. Seven people were arrested although two were released without charge. Police said isis inspired the plot. Let me reinforce this is a significant disruption of what we would describe as an imminent terrorist event in melbourne, victoria. Community safety always will be the number one priority for our Law Enforcement agencies and we acted as soon as possible with the best evidence and the best material and the best intelligence available to us to make sure the Community Safety was being protected. In october two teenagers allegedly linked to isis were charged with planning an attack as well. To a situation that seems unprecedented, the u. S. President elect donald trump jumping into the Israeli Palestinian conflict even though he has not been sworn into the oval office. This is one of the most complicated Foreign Policy issues for any leader, and on friday he publicly challenged current president obama by working to stop a u. N. Vote. Here is elise labott with more about it. Reporter a dispute over peace, politics and the role of the u. S. Presidency may be coming to a head at the United Nations. Just hours before the Security Council was set to vote for a resolution calling for israel to stop building settlements, the ballot was abruptly cut off, averting a potential clash between the current and future u. S. President s over u. S. Relations with israel. Well have to wait and see what the results of those consultations are, to see if the text moves forward. Reporter the resolution demands israel, quote, immediately and completely cease all settlement activities, calling it a flagrant violation under international law. Cnn has learned that president obama was prepared to let the resolution pass, either by abstaining or voting in favor of it. The u. S. Has traditionally seen jewish settlements in areas controlled by palestinians as an obstacle to Peace Process but it has never gone so far in a u. N. Vote. The move today would have been seen by many as a provocation, a parting shot at israels Prime Minister with whom president obama has strained ties. Around 3 00 a. M. Netanyahu took to twitter writing in english and appealing for u. S. Veto. Before the white house could announce support for the resolution, president elect trump sent out this saying peace needs to be negotiated not through the imposition of terms through the United Nations. Cnn is told the Israeli Government reached out to trump to weigh in after failing to persuade washington to cancel the vote. Egyptian president whose country offered the resolution put the vote on hold after a call from trump. Today grat tut from israeli ambassador who tweeted, israel, quote, deeply appreciates the clear and unequivocal call by trump. The United Nations is not a friend of democracy. Trumps statement again appeared to signal hills desire to shift u. S. israel relations. During elections he said he would move the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem and denounced the this has to be a deal between the palestinians and israelis. I would love to be neutral if it is possible. It is probably not possible because theres so much hatred. Theres so much going on. Israeli officials argued by allowing the resolution to go through at the United Nations president obama would be tying Donald Trumps hands once he takes hands to negotiate what the president elect has called the ultimate deal between israelis and palestinians. Elise labott, cnn, the state department. Joining now to talk more about the president elect donald trump is larry sabato, director of the center for politics at the university of virginia. Larry, good to have you with us. So, look, it is unusual to see a president elect reach out to foreign governments to influence u. S. Policy all the while making a move that is at odds with the current administration. Have you ever seen anything like this before . This is not completely unprecedented, but it is extraordinary. The only example i could think of that has any parallel was back in 1968 when Richard Nixon, the candidate for president and then president elect Richard Nixon had a back channel to south vietnam, trying to urge the anticommunist south vietnamese not to settle with the Outgoing Administration of Lyndon Johnson because they would get a better deal under a president nixon. But this is really the kind of thing that that makes you wonder about whats coming. We used to have a phrase, theres only one president at a time, and that used to operate during the transition, but apparently in the case of mr. Trump it does not. And on trumps Transition Team it was indicated that they did give the white house a headsup about this. But, again, making a move that is at odds with the current administration. I want to talk also, larry, about tariffs. Donald trump talked a lot about that on the campaign trail, and now it seems his team is discussing, you know, the possibility of a 10 tariff on u. S. Imports, apparently considering it as an executive action or going through congress. Is this something that you believe Establishment Republicans would stand up to donald trump on this . Absolutely. If it goes through congress. If it is an executive action, im sure it will be challenged in the courts but it will probably take a long time to resolve it. But if it goes to congress i think you can expect people like Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell to oppose the idea. They are longtime, established free traders. In fact, most of the republican members of the house and the senate have long supported free trade. So i would be shocked if they went along with tariffs. Lets talk here about Trumps Campaign promise to drain the swamp. Earlier this week the former House SpeakerNewt Gingrich said that donald trump didnt want to use that phrase anymore, drain the swamp, but take a listen to what he is saying now, larry. We can talk about it here in a moment. I want to report that i made a big booboo. I talked this morning with president elect donald trump and he reminded me, he likes draining the swamp. I mischaracterized it the other day. He intends to drain the swamp. He even describes it as dts. Newt gingrich saying that he made a booboo . I never heard him admit that before. He doesnt often admit mistakes at all, but that phrase made a big booboo will be with him a long time. Clearly donald trump, president elect trump resented what gingrich said because it suggested that trump would be going back on one of his Major Campaign themes. Draining the swamp, whatever that really means, i guess, you know, forcing the lobbyists out of the system and that kind of thing. The truth is if you want to staff an administration you need experienced people and people who understand how washington works, and donald trump will end up having his fair share of precisely those sorts of people. And thats the question though, you know. During the Campaign Trump promised to drain the swamp, but, you know, the question is his supporters, do they support, you know, what he is doing right now, bringing in people who are certainly washington insiders by many regards . I also want to talk about this. Here is some video we can play here to show this. Ivanka trump and her family on a jetblue flight. You see her here in the middle. They were reportedly recognized and then harassed by another passenger. Here is the question. Do you see this sort of thing happening more and more, this ugliness . Is that going to go away any time soon from the trump side and also from the people who lost this election, the supporters . Tragically, this campaign and the aftermath of the campaign has added to the Political Polarization and divisiveness in the country. As a result, i really dont see it fading any time soon. The incivility that we are seeing in cases like this, and it is an outrage, you dont want to verbally attack the daughter of the president elect in that fashion, but theres been plenty of incivility on the trump side too aimed at clinton supporters. Just go on twitter if you doubt that. This kind of incivility is going to continue, and there has been very little graciousness on both sides, although president elect trump and president obama have set a pretty good example of cooperation. Larry sabato, the director of the center for politics at the university of virginia. Larry, thank you so much for being with us. Thank you, george. All right. The back and forth continues. The Obama Administration is making its last moves before Trump Takes Office in january. It plans to close a dorm ant program once used to track mostly arab and muslim men in the u. S. , and many see that as a response to trumps previous proposal to institute a ban on muslims entering the u. S. The National Security entry exit gistration system was create canned after the 9 11 attacks under thenpresident george w. Bush. The program was suspended in 2011 after failing to result in a single terrorism conviction in nearly a decade.

The last Syrian Rebels and civilians fled the city thursday in a convoy of vehicle, many of them headed to the west where they could still face the danger of renewed fighting. Soon after they pulled out of aleppo Government Forces moved in to reclaim what is left of the neighborhoods of eastern aleppo. Cnns mohamad l, la has more on the major milestone in the Syrian Civil War sna theres no question this is a decisive moment in this civil war, prapts one of the most significant moments, a turning point since this war began five years ago. Syrian state television breaking into regular program to announce, quote, they have liberated eastern aleppo from all armed terrorist groups. That is confirmed by rebel negotiators on the ground who say all armed groups, civilian and rebel fighters have been evacuated from that part of the city. Syrias state broadcaster showed images of people celebrating in the street and waving flags. For the Assad Government it was a decisive victory. It means that the city of aaleppo is no longer divided by the western and eastern sides which were held by the rebels since they occupied since early 2012. The loss to the rebels cant be underestimated. The eastern part of aleppo was the command center for so many years, they coordinated operations out of there, had a local network of activists on the ground who communicated across the country and around the world. That base is no longer there, the city is no longer divided. Syrias assad controls that city. In fact, the armed forces control all of the major cities for the First Time Since the civil war began. Something that many thought was unthinkable when the revolution got under way. Even more
