really everywhere from the gulf coast to atlanta i would say the best chance for anything tornadic would be by the great lakes like ohio, very slim chance. linger ring over places like texas over the next two or three days widespread areas seeing three to five inches. back to you. >> nicole, thank you very much. europe is said to be looking at a number of options to stop migrants crossing the mediterranean sea. meeting behind closed doors talking about solutions. >> let me say that the european union is finally ready to take its own responsibilities. saifg lives welcomingsaving lives welcoming immigrants. >> that is frederica mogherini. she says one key part of the

solution is to destroy their vessels. kristin saloomey is live at the u.n. kristin are they likely to get the permission to use force? >> it is something the international community needs to address. the devil is in the details we heard from one ambassador, the ambassador from angola going into the meeting africa very important in the debate since a lot of the migrants are coming from africa, they don't think a military solution is the way to solve the problem. it is essentially a humanitarian issue, you need to address the root causes, poverty conflict and so on in order to stop the people from fleeing from their country. humanitarian organization he like amnesty international and the international red cross have

raised similar concerns that there needs to be a legal route for migrants to go to the eu as well as addressing those root issues. but we heard the eu foreign policy chief lay out what she described a very comprehensive approach acknowledging that these other steps need to be made. we'll wait and see if she's able to convince some of the skeptics to go along with the military part of the plan. >> christiankristin do we know when the security council will work on the matter? >> the resolution would have to be what's called a chapter 7 resolution authorizing force. there has to be -- it has to be in line with humanitarian law and so on. so we don't expect this to happen right away but there does seem to be an effort to fast-track its. the europeans who are working on the resolution say they hope to have it introduced and circulated in the next couple of

days. >> kristin saloomey, thank you very much. malaysia deepg dealing with itsdealing with itsown migrant issue. rohenia aren migrants who have been persecuted in myanmar. >> reporter: about a thousand migrants came ashore last night. many of them were women and children and they were extremely hungry thirsty and in need of medical attention. the home ministry here have not confirmed any of these details yet but news agency is reporting the boat these migrants were traveling on appears to be abandoned by the people smig people smugglers perhaps because of the

cracking down of the slave traders, on the thai side of the border where mass graves were discovered. this is not just a problem for malaysia. across the waters in indonesia authorities say they rescued around 400 people migrants that were trying to make their way off the coast of ache province. the concern is that they are going to see an increasing number in the next couple of days. has not reacted to the latest news of migrant arrivals. there is no evidence of mass graves here. but they also believe that these migrants are not victims. they say that they have been cooperating with people smugglers to flee myanmar and they do not consider the

migrants to be victims of people-smugglers. >> krishmamama villas reporting. jonah hull has more from brussels. >> prospect of no conclusive deal although both sides of course very keenly aware that crunch time is getting ever-closer for greece. the greeks accuse the euro group, the euro group are scrutinizing the plan.

plan. the new government promised the electorate that there would be no more as you austerity. one eu sources battling to say okay he said for a country with no financial difficulties but of course greece is a country with immense financial difficulties and they do seem rather quickly now to be coming to a head. >> that is jonah hull reporting from brussels. fighting in yemen ongoing one day before the ceasefire supposed to take effect. saudi tv say saudi tanks are gathering near the border. mohamed val is live in the saudi capital of riyadh. mohamed, it seems like neither side is taking steps towards planned ceasefire tomorrow. what have you been hearing from

saudi officials? >> reporter: yeah, it's quite the contrary, according to all indications. the saudi officials have not actually said much about this today. there will be no press by the military spokesman of the coalition, that is a bit strange because he has been giving briefings every single day for last week. things happening on the ground the saudis as you just mentioned are sending more troops more heavy artillery more tanks to the border today. they have enough that officially even though they have been sending too much of that during the last few weeks. but the attacks are renewed by the houthis across the border yesterday night. they managed to kill one person and wound 4 in negran, also on the province of jizan to the southwest of the border with yemen. killing one person and wounding four others. for saudi arabia this is always they call it red line, another

red line. the houthis have not only refused the ceasefire in the past and not only escalated in aden and other parts of yemen but repeatedly attack saudi arabia. this is very harmful to the yemenis. increased air strikes in the north, the province of saada the stronghold of the houthis. they are now attacking the houthis and the loyalists of ali abdullah saleh. and attacking the house of ali abdullah saleh himself. they are fighting in aden and many parts of the current country. they are saying they are behind the shooting down of this moroccan f-16 fighter jet which is part of the aircraft of the

coalition operating over yemen. if the truce comes closer they are not weaker than before, not because they are defeated but probably because they want to give a chance to the relief for civilians in yemen. but all these indications are adding to the complexities just hours before the beginning of this truce and there are now doubts whether the truce will happen at all. >> and mohamed the saudi king skipping that key meeting in washington between president obama and other gulf leaders. is there any reason known why he decided not to show? >> well, officially the saudis are saying the king has been unable to go because he is willing to focus ton truce that's upcoming and also he's willing to focus on the humanitarian relief for yemen. he's going to inaugurate a

special inner to yemen in the few days. officially here, talking about the fact that the saudis wanted to send their best people to the negotiation in washington and maryland and that's because the crown prince is much more capable to conduct those talks than king himself in terms of viewing the expertise of the conference, he denies ill himself he has good ties with americans, knows how to talk to them. we know the king is of bahrain is not attending and the relationship between the two sides, the americans and the gulf countries being soured by this agreement between united states and iran. >> mohamed val thank you very much. both sides resting in the penalty phase of the boston

>> rival armed groups in the central african republic

agreeing to a peace deal there. amiki amolu reports. >> at the height of the crisis large numbers of people were so desperate to leave they crammed into container trucks and headed for neighboring countries. the exact number of people killed in the fighting is unclear. half of the population of the central african republic are children. many, like this group have been orphaned. human rights groups like amnesty says the scars are deep. >> the problem is there never has been any kind of justice or accountability over the years for all the different crimes that have happened in the country. if the country is to be given a serious chance to move forward there has to be investigation into what has happened. >> sunday's peace deal by rebels politicians and religious leaders may be one step towards that end. they've agreed not to grant an

amnesty to the worst perpetrators and to draw a red line under the violence. it may be impossible to forget the brutality, what started as a religious conflict didn't start out as one. the united nations says the root causes were poverty and government mismanagements and religion was a convenient excuse used by some in the fighting. celica fighters installed a muslim president aren't all muslim. antiballica rebels who fought celica aren't all christian. the transition government is trying to encourage muslims and christians to interact peacefully again. organizing assemble faith prayers football maches and the matches
