HARI SREENIVASAN: In the day's other news: The U.S. military says an airstrike near Somalia's

capital killed four Al-Shabaab militants and blew up a vehicle packed with explosives.

According to the U.S. Africa Command, the targets were hit 15 miles west of Mogadishu

on Wednesday night.

Al-Shabaab was behind October's massive truck bombing that killed 512 people in the Somalia

capital.

A deep freeze gripped half the country again today, setting records from Arkansas to Maine.

It was 32 degrees below zero this morning in Watertown, New York, and that's not factoring

in the windchill.

In Buffalo, the arctic air froze the spray from Lake Erie, encasing nearby benches and

railings in a thick layer of ice.

And, in Philadelphia, this fountain froze into an icy sculpture in 14-degree weather.

The cold is expected to last through the weekend.

Alabama Democrat Doug Jones was certified today as the winner of a special U.S. Senate

election.

He beat Republican Roy Moore by 22,000 votes amid accusations that Moore preyed on teenage

girls decades ago.

Today, state officials signed documents, making the results official after a judge rejected

Moore's claim of voter fraud.

JOHN MERRILL, Alabama Secretary of State: I don't think there's any doubt in the minds

of anybody that is in this room or anybody that is within the sound of my voice that

if it was ever a question about whether or not the state of Alabama conducts honest and

fair, safe and secure elections, that question has been eliminated from anyone's thought

and mind.

HARI SREENIVASAN: Jones will be sworn into the Senate on January 3, leaving the Republicans

with the slimmest of majorities, 51-49.

President Trump charged today that China has been -- quote -- "caught red-handed" allowing

illicit oil shipments to North Korea.

He said in a tweet: "There will never be a friendly solution to the North Korean problem

if that continues."

A South Korean newspaper has reported Chinese ships are transferring oil to North Korean

ships at sea, in violation of U.N. sanctions.

And on Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average gained 63 points to close at 24837.

The Nasdaq rose 10 points, and the S&P 500 added almost five.

First round of Korea-U.S. trade deal amendment talks set for Jan. 5 in Washington - Duration: 2:25.

South Korea and the U.S. will hold talks on their bilateral free trade agreement next

week in Washington on possibly amending the five-year old deal.

With round one of negotiations just around the corner,... both sides are said to be staking

out their positions.

Cha Sang-mi has the details.

Top negotiators from Korea's Trade Ministry and the U.S. Trade Representative will sit

down next Friday to begin negotiations over the amendment of the two countries' five-year-old

trade deal The first round of negotiations is set for

January 5th in Washington D.C. Korea's Ministry for Trade, Industry, and

Energy announced on Thursday that the revision is likely to be partial, as the U.S. hasn't

gone through all of the legal steps necessary for a full revision of the FTA.

In order to carry out a full revision of the trade deal, the U.S. would have had to follow

Trade Promotion Authority procedures such as stating its intentions to Congress ninety

days before the renegotiations begin.

The Trump administration wants to make amendments in multiple fields such as the automobile

and agro-livestock sectors in a bid to alleviate its goods trade deficit.

Seoul is seeking to protect sensitive sectors like agriculture while vying for what it calls

a 'mutually beneficial' deal.

The Korean government hasn't revealed what demands it'll make at the talks, but experts

say there are a few expected moves.

(ENGLISH) - "The Korean government seems to be interested

in weakening the Investor State Dispute Settlement - the ISDS - and weakening the conditions

to impose safeguards on American beef.

Some other cards that we can play are anti dumping."

Yet since Congress supports the U.S. anti dumping measures, the experts predict that

attacking the anti-dumping measures might be a somewhat dangerous move.

Korea's Trade Ministry in its report to the National Assembly last week, said that the

U.S. side is likely to request tariff adjustments to recover its trade imbalance.

The negotiations will be led by Korea's director general for FTA Negotiations Yoo Myung-hee

and U.S.'s Assistant Trade Representative Michael Beeman.

The representatives of Korea and the U.S. have already held two preliminary meetings

to arrange the amendment talks since the Moon and Trump administrations came into power

earlier this year.

BREAKING!! HE JUST DID IT… Hillary BUSTED in LARGEST SCANDAL In US HISTORY! - Duration: 7:12.

BREAKING!!

HE JUST DID IT…

Hillary BUSTED in LARGEST SCANDAL In US HISTORY!

Dan Backer just pieced together an epic takedown of Hillary Clinton that's based on FEC reports,

memos by Clinton's campaign manager, and public statements from people like Donna Brazile

and many others who chose to speak out openly.

Could this information be the final stake in the heart of Hillary Clinton's alleged

crimes?

Let's analyze the information and see where it takes us.

The information dates back to 2014 when Shaun McCutcheon won favor from the Supreme Court.

As reported by Investors: "In 2014, the Supreme Court ruled in favor

of my client, Alabama engineer Shaun McCutcheon, in his challenge to the Federal Election Commission's

(FEC) outdated "aggregate limits," which effectively limited how many candidates any

one donor could support.

Anti-speech liberals railed against McCutcheon's win, arguing it would create supersized "Joint

Fundraising Committees" (JFCs).

In court, they claimed these JFCs would allow a single donor to cut a multimillion-dollar

check, and the JFC would then route funds through dozens of participating state parties,

who would then funnel it back to the final recipient.

Democracy 21 President Fred Wertheimer claimed the Supreme Court's McCutcheon v. FEC ruling

would lead to "the system of legalized bribery recreated that existed prior to Watergate."

The Supreme Court, in ruling for us, flatly stated such a scheme would still be illegal."Then

comes the Hillary Victory Fund (HVF) which involves $500 million that was funneled in

such a way that the Supreme Court had recently said was illegal.

Cutting a big check, sending money to various places, then funneling it all back to the

place it was initially determined to go after hopping the money over a million hurdles.

Trump's team has rightfully filed an FEC complaint to investigate the matters with

the $500 million.

The Committee to Defend the President has filed an FEC complaint against Hillary Clinton's

campaign, Democratic National Committee (DNC), Democratic state parties and Democratic mega-donors.

As Fox News reported, we documented the Democratic establishment "us[ing] state chapters as

straw men to circumvent campaign donation limits and launder(ing) the money back to

her campaign."

The 101-page complaint focused on the Hillary Victory Fund (HVF) — the $500 million joint

fundraising committee between the Clinton campaign, DNC, and dozens of state parties

— which did exactly that the Supreme Court declared would still be illegal.

It's reported that HVF was taking, or asking for, significant six-figure donations from

well-known entities such as clothing companies and celebrities like Seth MacFarlane.

If they were given a donation, then the money was taken through different parties, and it

seems like the cash eventually made it back to Clinton's hands.

The smaller number we're working within this is about $84 million, and that could

make it the most massive campaign scandal involving finance in American history.

Backer continues his report: "Here's what we know.

Campaign finance law is incredibly complex and infamous for its lack of clarity.

As I've explained before, its complexity is a feature, not a bug.

Major political players with the resources to hire the very few attorneys who practice

campaign finance law benefit from the complexity that keeps others out.

Perhaps HVF's architects thought so too, and assumed that if no one understands what's

happening, no one would complain.

Here's what you can do, legally.

Per election, an individual donor can contribute $2,700 to any candidate, $10,000 to any state

party committee, and (during the 2016 cycle) $33,400 to a national party's main account.

These groups can all get together and take a single check from a donor for the sum of

those contribution limits — it's legal because the donor cannot exceed the base limit

for any one recipient.

And state parties can make unlimited transfers to their national party.

Here's what you can't do, which the Clinton machine appeared to do anyway.

As the Supreme Court made clear in McCutcheon v. FEC, the JFC may not solicit or accept

contributions to circumvent base limits, through "earmarks" and "straw men" that are

ultimately excessive — there are five separate prohibitions here.

On top of that, six-figure donations either never actually passed through state party

accounts or were never actually under state party control, which adds false FEC reporting

by HVF, state parties, and the DNC to the laundry list.

Finally, as Donna Brazile and others admitted, the DNC placed the funds under the Clinton

campaign's direct control, a massive breach of campaign finance law that ties the conspiracy

together.

Democratic donors, knowing the funds would end up with Clinton's campaign, wrote six-figure

checks to influence the election — 100 times larger than allowed."

HVF had some shady business going on with significant donations that were mixed up in

false FEC reports by multiple entities.

Was money being reported as being sent to one place, but indeed appearing in another?

Was the cash being reportedly tossed in various locations to make it harder to track?

HVF bundled these megagifts and, on a single day, reported transferring money to all participating

state parties, some of which would then show up on FEC reports filed by the DNC as transferring

the exact same dollar amount on the exact same day to the DNC.

Yet not all the state parties reported either receiving or transferring those sums.

Did any of these transfers actually happen?

Or were they just paper entries to mask direct transfers to the DNC?

This sounds like something that everyday Americans only see in well thought out movies, but those

movies always seem to end with the perpetrator finally getting caught by an intelligent investigator

who finally pieces that puzzle together and solves the crime unmasking someone no one

suspected.

Is Hillary Clinton guilty of crimes or is she just the name that will be thrown under

the bus by a much bigger force?

Is there more to this than just the money being pushed around in ways that the Supreme

Court might find illegal?

If anyone goes down for this, that won't be the end of it.

Under every major crime, there are tons of little mysterious odds and ends, but there

could also be a more prominent king of the hill.

Is Hillary the king of the mountain in this investigation or is there someone above her

calling the shots?

Blue States Are In For A Mass Exodus - Duration: 2:17.

Blue States

Are In For A Mass Exodus

It turns out that people hate living in blue states, where lax drug laws, tight gun control,

socialist taxation, and liberal social circles make the place uninhabitable.

According to The Daily Caller, three major blue states lost a record number of citizens

in 2016-2017.

New York saw the worst exodus of people, with about 190,000 residents fleeing from July

1, 2016 to July 1, 2017, according to U.S. Census Bureau data released last week.

�New York�s domestic out-migration during that time period was about the same as it

was in the same time 2015 and 2016,� reports The Daily Caller.

�Since 2010, the state�s outflow of just over 1 million residents has exceeded that

of every other state, both in absolute terms and as a share of population, according to

the free-market think tank Empire Center.�

The same could not be said for President Obama�s home state of Illinois, which has now dropped

from the fifth to the sixth-most populous state in 2017.

The fifth-most populous state is Pennsylvania, which swung red for Trump in the previous

election.

The once golden state of California lost 138,000 residents.

Like New York, it has weathered the storm by having the largest influx of international

migrants.

What If The United States Invaded China? - Duration: 3:39.

US Chinese relations have always been somewhat complicated.

Both countries rely on one another economically, but both countries also aknowledge that the

other could be a potential adversary.

But what if that delicate relationship suddenly became strained?

Today, Life's biggest questions asks, what if The united states Invaded China?

Hello and welcome back to LBQ, I'm your host, charlotte dobre.

As always make sure you hit that thumbs up and subscribe and let us know in the comments

below what topics you would like to see next.

Over the last few years, China's military is becoming more technologically advanced,

and it doesn't have obligations to the rest of the world the way America does.

China has nuclear capabilities, satellite technology and military forces on the ground,

air and sea.

China is the world's runner up for military spending, after the united states.

According to Abraham Denmark, senior vice president for political and security affairs

at the natural bureau for Asian research, a war between the US and China would be disastrous

for both sides.

So in order To invade china, the US would have to have a very good reason.

Perhaps If china got into a conflict with one of the united states' allies, like japan

or south korea, and the united states would be forced to intervene to defend those countries.

But, If the United States invaded China, without a good enough reason, that would make them

the aggressor, and effectively a war criminal.

And being a war criminal does not put you in the best position when it comes to needing

allies.

The ability to win the war will depend on the political climate at the time, and which

countries would back up the US and which would back up China.

If the United States invaded china, it would need to use its current allies that surround

china to serve as bases and launch points.

And having those allies really close to china poses a problem.

If the US wanted to strike china with a nuclear missile from the mainland, that missile has

to fly through the airspace of the surrounding countries.

In addition the fallout from that missile would affect all of the surrounding countries.

China has the geographical advantage.

In the event that the united states invades china, China could use nuclear weapons to

strategically take out all of the bases that the US requires.

It could destroy bases, like the Port of Yokosuka, or the Kadena Air base, and effectively stop

the war in its tracks.

If this happens, It would be extremely difficult for the US military to continue an operation.

Its aircraft need bases to refuel.

America would have to transport its supplies all the way from mainland America, or from

Australia.

Not to mention, what if India, North Korea or Russia came to chinas defence?

Russia could attack the united states from Alaska, Canada would have to then take a side.

If they side with America, its in the middle of a conflict, if it sides with china, a land

route opens up for Russian forces.

Either way, Canada would have to get involved, and All of a sudden, an American invasion

of china becomes a full fledged world war.

A war that the united states may very well lose.

Yes, the united states has the best military the world has ever seen, but you don't always

need the best military to win a war.

Many historians will say that the first rule of military strategy is to never get involved

in a land war in asia.

An invasion of china would be a bloodbath, especially for chinese civillians and US troops.

Millions would die initially, then after the first waves of troups died off, the US would

have to send more troups into the blood bath.

It would go on until both countries were so badly wounded, militarily, politically and

economically that they would be forced to stop.

American influence in asia would surely be strained following a war with china, especially

if they had been the aggressor.

It might never have the same influence in the east again.

What do you think would happen if the US invaded China?

Top negotiators from Korea's Trade Ministry and the U.S. Trade Representative will sit

down next Friday to begin negotiations over the amendment of the two countries' five-year-old

trade deal The first round of negotiations is set for

January 5th in Washington D.C. Korea's Ministry for Trade, Industry, and

North Korea will not be accepted as a nuclear power by US or Russia, say Rex Tillerson and Sergei - Duration: 1:59.

North Korea will not be accepted as a nuclear power by US or Russia, say Rex Tillerson and

Sergei Lavrov.

The US and Russia have insisted they will not accept North Korea as a �nuclear state�,

amid a series of missile tests by the East Asian nation and increased rhetoric from both

Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump.

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke by phone

on a myriad of issues, but both agreed on their stance regarding Pyongyang�s continued

development of nuclear weapons despite United Nations sanctions.

State Department Heather Nauert said in a statement that �both sides agreed that they

will continue to work towards a diplomatic solution to achieve a denuclearised Korean

peninsula�.

However, on the same call on Tuesday, Mr Lavrov criticised President Donald Trump�s �aggressive

rhetoric� towards North Korea, as many world leaders and the UN have before.

Mr Trump has said in the past that the US will rain down �fire and fury� on North

Korea.

The phone call comes on the heels of Russia�s offer to be a mediator between Pyongyang and

Washington, fostering dialogue rather than trading barbs as Mr Trump and Mr Kim have

been doing for several months.

The President has repeatedly called Mr Kim �Rocket Man� as Mr Kim continues to test

missiles dangerously close to US ally Japan.

Late last week, the UN Security Council also unanimously passed - including votes from

Russia and China who have closer ties to Pyongyang - more sanctions on North Korea, further limiting

its oil supplies and slave labour market.

Mr Tillerson had previously said during a November news conference that North Korea�s

fuel supply �is already quite constrained� as shown by �anecdotal evidence� and US

intelligence sources which show cars lined up at petrol stations or certain stations

closing that would normally have fuel.

The issue is that the country only has one refinery that operates internally, so it is

heavily reliant on finished fuel imports.

Reuters that according to Chinese customs data, China exported no oil products to North

Korea in November - something that was above and beyond UN sanctions requirements.

Beijing also imported no North Korean iron ore, coal or lead in last months, the second

full month of those trade sanctions, the data showed.

China has not disclosed its crude exports to North Korea for several years, but industry

sources say it still supplies about 520,000 tonnes, or 3.8m barrels, a year to the country

via an ageing pipeline.

A day after the UN sanctions, North Korea�s state media called the stricter controls �an

act of war� by a �frenzied� Trump administration.

The US Treasury Department also released a statement regarding the US-specific sanctions

on the country.

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said the department�s finance-related sanctions will

be �targeting leaders of North Korea�s ballistic missile programmes�.

Tensions have continued to rise between North Korea and the US, as Pyongyang tested an intercontinental

ballistic missile on 29 November that US intelligence officials said would put all of the US mainland

within striking range.

The US has declared North Korea a �state sponsor of terrorism� to enact further financial

sanctions and also claimed in the President�s National Security Strategy that Pyongyang

is developing biological weapons.
