>> hello, i'm richelle carey. john seigenthaler is off. >> swept away. heavy rains and flash flooding leave at least a dozen dead in utah. the victims as young as four years old. >> no man's land. >> the order of life is stronger than the order of the law. >> chaos as hungary seals it's southern border. meet refugees leaving family behind to build a new life.

build up. >> we have supported the syrian government. i would like to say that as a confront to terrorist aggressi aggression. >> russia defends sending military equipment to syria's embattled president. plus gangs of new york. thousands turn out to celebrate a 70ths cult classic. we'll talk to the scarf a the star of "the warriors." >> we begin tonight in utah where flash flooding has taken a deadly toll. officials in zion national park say three people were killed and four are still missing after floodwaters washed through that park. 12 other people were killed, including several children in the town of hildale near the

arizona border. police are looking for a person who is still missing but they acknowledge that it is race against time. >> they're getting everybody out. >> they're the survivors pulled to safety pulled to rescue by rescuers in hildale, utah. >> i've lived here all my life, and i've never seen anything like this. >> hildale's mayor said that the group was on a day trip as the floodwaters moved in fast. >> it came in behind the vehicles, engulfed the vehicles and washed them down into the creek bed. the vehicles were located more than a quarter of a mile away from that location. >> one of the youngest victims was found further away. >> the victims right here. they come all the way down. >> officials say at least three children survived, search and rescue efforts are expected to continue into wednesday.

>> we would like to have hope that there might be a chance of a rescue through the first 24-hour period. but again, we have to treat it also as a recovery. >> utah's governor, who is away on a trade mission in china, declared hildale as a disaster zone, and authorized the use of the national guard. >> obviously this, is one of the worst weather-related disasters in the state of utah. because of that we're bringing full resources of the state to bear. >> crews are bringing bulldozers to bring up tons of mud and debris. >> this is off my street right here. this is coming off of my--this is the water--this is the front yard. >> hildale is the home of a breakaway mormon sect that practices polygamy. it's leader, warren jeffs, is serving life in prison for assaulting under-age girls. the town's mayor said that

jeff's followers are discouraged from watching tv or using the internet, so many in the community may not have known the danger. jennifer london, al jazeera. >> firefighters in california are busy again tonight in the northern part of a state, the fire has consumed 67,000 acres since saturday with just 15% containment reported. one death has been reported and 185 homes destroyed. jacob ward is in military town, california, devastated by this fire. jacob has the latest now. >> richelle, this town, middletown, california, is sort of an eerie place, there is a deadly stillness that has settled over it here. it is only broken by the distant sounds of chainsaws as the power company tries to put up new poles here, and we hear fire

crews who continue to battle this blaze, that has grown past 67,000 acres. all of this begs the question of whether the nature of fire itself has changed so much that the tactics used to fight it perhaps don't apply any more. >> the valley fire, more than 60,000 acres a fast-moving burn is a series of blazes that defy the training of firefighters. this time, homes got in the way. >> how is this fire different from past fires? >> we have seen fires move very rapidly in the very beginning. due to the four-year drought here in california. >> it's not just that the drought conditions make firefighting harder than those doing it, the conditions are changing the fire itself. firefighters refer to the color of the earth here as good black, and that means that the fuel has already been burnt away. that means that they can relax in this place because the fire has kept through once and in

theory it won't come back. you can typically trust that the trees like the ones you can see over my shoulders have taken care of themselves against the fire. they have enough available water that they won't burn in their canopy. but after four years of drought those rules are not obeyed an inmore. there is no such thing as good plaque any more because the fire could come back through the canopy. it means that firefighters cannot relax. they can't trust their training in the same way they used to be able to because a fire like this is entirely new kind of danger. >> without that moisture in the plants, the fire doesn't have to use a lot of energy to ignite those plants, which means that it has more energy to continue to move at a faster and more intense rate. >> the incident commander on this fire said that this new behavior quickly over matched local resources. >> like all the fires we've had in this county, if fuels spot fires all over the place and

quickly overwhelms the amount of resources that we have on the initial order. it totally changed our tactics and we would keep people out of harm's way and continue with the evaluations. >> firefighters can do their job safely and keep us safe when their training lines up with what science knows about fire and how it behaves. but the fires in california are a new breed. born of new conditions. and at the moment they are winning the fight. jacob ward, al jazeera, middletown, california. >> well, mr. shoe, as jake was saying in that report, you're saying this is a different breed of fire. does that mean that you need more manpower than perhaps you would have needed in the past?

>> well, certainly more manpower is going to be an added success. but the problem is that we have to have them in a place where they're readily able to respond. and we can't predict where the next ignition source is going to be, so therefore we have to usually call in resources from far distances, and it takes time to get those resource there is. unfortunately, that allows the fire to overwhelm the initial attack resources, as was stated earlier in this particular fire, then it's a catch up game. by the time mother nature let's that fire start rolling the way it did here, we really don't have the ability to catch it until the winds die down, and conditions become more favorable for us to get the upper hand. >> so much of what you have known does not apply here. it almost sounds like you have to learn as you go along? >> there is a lot of truth to that. the firefighting pac tactics and strategies we've employed over the past 50 years will have

to change. we look at the way we do business. the fact that there are more people living in the wild land areas. so because life safety is going to always remain or number one priority, a lot of our resources are instead of fighting the actual fire are being used to actually help people get out of harm's way. therefore, no one is actually using their resources to fight the fire, which means that the fire continues to grow in intensity, size and strength while we're getting people out. that only compounds the problem. >> tell me the role that weather has been playing in this? >> well, certainly the weather was the biggest factor on saturday. saturday afternoon at 1:30 california had just come off record-setting heat waves. the temperatures had been so hot already for the previous days, so on saturday afternoon as we

were reaching the height of the hot spatter of the day on saturday afternoon, of course the winds are blowing embers a quarter of a half mile in front of the main fire front. every one of those embers, because the fuel is so dry, is igniting a new fire in front of it. it becomes a self-perpetuating freight train, and that situation that we faced here on saturday afternoon. >> how many firefighters do you have fighting this fire? >> there are approximately 120 personnel assigned to the fire. but the majority of those are out on the ground driving engines, bulldozers, water tenderings, the aircraft flying

in the air. collectively 2500 people working here today. >> is this one of the worst fires in recent memory? >> in recent memory, definitely. in southern california we've seen extreme conditions like this with the santa anna conditions. particularly in october and late fall, and these conditions here yet and saturday were similar to those i've seen in southern california, which is not normal for northern california, but i think its causing all of us to reassess what normal really is. >> thank you. we'll be checking in with you. thank you.

>> thank you. >> seven mountain clamorers dead in an avalanche in the french alps. it ham happened near the town of pelvoux. four victims were german, three from the czech republic. it is one of the deadliest avalanches in france in a dedicate. now the journey that refugees are making to reach europe. germany and austria are calling for an emergency summit while countries are fightening security. >> with a state of emergency with this border, hungary has taken the crisis to a new direction. and it makes life even harder for refugees.

many have found themselves stuck in no man's land with no way into hungary, and no way back to serbia. >> they don't understand us. i told the army to just describe our situation that is a hoo humanitarian situation, but they don't understand. >> by shutting the border crossing from serbia into the european union, hungary has provoked outrage from its neighbors. many hearsay nat asylum laws are justified. >> for those who have attempted that journey, they will automatically be turned back. >> opposition parties attack the government. >> the order is stronger than the order of the law. it's outrageous. what is happening. we will not forget these

measures of the hungarian government. >> the far right party said that the government had done too little too late. one of the leaders spoke to the news conference and they heckled by two protesters. iraqi refugees, the other side of the fence, were appealing for water and food. the hungarian prime minister believes he's taking the lead at a time when e.u. members still can't reach an agreement on air quotas, and the rift between east and west has never been big. it's shaking the union to it's very foundation. while e.u. leaders are slow in making decisions on the ground. here the situation once again is deteriorating quickly.

>> less than 1500 syrian refugees have resettled in the u.s. since 2011. last week president obama said that the u.s. would take in 10,000 over the next fiscal year which begins in october. patterson, new jersey, is home to one of the country's largest syrian communities. we have reports on the families starting new lives there. >> 11 years old. >> i don't want what happened to us to happen again to anyone else. >> they spent two and a half years in a refugee camp in jordan after fleeing the war in syria. just six weeks ago her parents were able to bring her and her two siblings to new jersey. >> thank god after that period of time i was able to bring them back to a norm life. >> mohammed's wife did not want to appear on cameras because she's afraid for the safety of her relatives in damascus. they're quickly building a new life in the u.s.

mohammed is working in construction. the children are in school. but being separated from their extended close-nigh-knight-knit family is taking a toll. >> we wish we had our grandmother with us. >> her grandmother. her hands are still in jordan. we hope we can bring them together. >> hundreds have resettled in this part of new jersey. it's home to a long established syrian community. >> if you are here for syrian refugees say yes. >> a syrian activist spoke out in solidarity for syrian refugees in new york city. >> when everything has been destroyed. when all of your family has been dispersed. when safety and security, safety of human beings is gone, there is nothing to look for any more.

>> many people i spoke to are to afraid to go on camera. they fear the assad regime will retaliate against their family members still stuck in the war. >> 82-year-old woman is too afraid to be on camera. she wished she could be back in syria. >> i have my family and sisters there. i just have my children here. >> she prays that nothing will happen to them. is her 50-year-old son took the same precaution. he knows people who are fighting to topple the assad regime. >> so many people have left. the people who are fighting, are they done? >> the ones who are fighting for justice for their own honor, for family, for god, those kind of people will never stop fighting ever.

>> mohammed's hometown lies in ruins. one sister was killed and the rest of the family salte scattered. >> and while the question asked over and over in private homes, on public streets, off camera or on, was why doesn't the u.s. or the united nations do more? mohammed said at least he can tell his children that they don't need to be scared any mo more. >> the ghost of fear that was following us in syria does not exhibit any more. thank god. >> i also heard over and over again is that no one would have left if they didn't have to. they wanted to stay in syria, but they fled for their lives and the lives of their children. >> that's so obvious. clearly they miss their family, and in syria, nearly 11 million people have been displaced.

do the people that you spoke with believe that they'll ever be able to go back home? >> that's a hard question to put to people, but what they say is that they say they're praying. >> thank you very much. well, this sunday join us for anus news special report "desperate journeys: a global crisis" sunday night at 9:00 p.m. a company group has been suspended in projects from saudi arabia. the crane collapse left more than 100 people dead. doses of palestinians were injured today when israeli police began again storm the

mosquthe al aqsa mosque. the police battle palestinians when they try to arrest those who would stay in the mosque overnight. five police officers suffered minor injuries. up next, russia's increasing roll in syria. could putin keep assad in power, and what it means in the fight against isil. and people with disabilities say that they're not treated fairly by ride services like uber, what the company said that they're doing about it.

>> secretary of state john kerry called his counter part in moscow about russia's military build up in syria. the specifics of the call between kerry and sergei lavrov are not clear.

officials say that russian tanks have arrived on syria's coast, and russia has been sending two military cargoes there every day. >> as concern in the west grows, president putin made it clear that it will continue to supply damascus with military equipment. >> we have provided and will provide all the necessary military and technical support. we call on other countries to join us. >> putin had another reason to back syria's war against isil. >> the fighters from different countries undergo ideological indoctrination and training, unfortunately, from european countries and the russian federation and many former soviet rubles, and of course we're worried about the possibility of them returning to

our territory. >> but the views from washington from the president down is that the support of assad is doomed to failure. >> what we would like to see is movement towards a political transition in syria. as i said last week we still believe there is an opportunity to pursue that kind of transition in concert with russian authorities. >> if the west see president assad as an obstacle in the fight against isil, to putin he's a bulwark in extremist and he's determined to stay in power. >> once russia soviet union were a dominant force, and now they're not. >> the kremlin argues that airstrikes alone will never win the fight against the islamic fighters, and only the syrian army has the muscle on the

ground to face up to the advances made by isil fighters over the past year. meanwhile russia is now stepping up its armed supplies to damascus, several flights loaded with weapons are said to be landing every day. russian troops and engineers are extending an air base to cope with the increased flow. the kremlin insists that it's regular shipments of arms to syria are used against isil. but there are real fears that the weapons could be used in syria's civil war that has cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians, and in the west that is not acceptable. >> syrian president bashar al-assad has given after interview to russian media. that interview was released

today, but it's not known when that was taped. syria's war is now in its fifth year and has left hundreds of thousands of people dead, and forced more than 10 million from their home. the professor of political science focuses on u.s.-russian relations, and he joins us fromberly california. we appreciate it very much. professor, this war, this conflict has been going on for, as they said, five years. so why now is butten as russia dabbles in the situation there. >> well, for one thing they are client state and the government that they support there, the assad regime, is, in fact, failing. this is a chance to shore up that regime and maintain the one client they have left in the middle east. another reason is that president putin in the last couple of years has been much more

assertive in foreign policy. he's trying to establish russia not only as a regional power but has muscle in its own region, also out of region he has chosen the middle east. he's trying to project russian power around the world, and re-establish russia as something of a great power on a global scale. >> what real value does the assad government have to russia? >> you know, that's a good question that's hard to answer because on the one hand it's clear that support for the assad regime cost russia a lot. most other governments in the arab world oppose the assad regime, and the united states and the west does as well. so there are high diplomatic costs. on the other hand the assad regime has been a typical ally of moscow. this goes back to the 1 1960s

1960s and '70s. they have close commercial ties. and it is convinced to keeping this regime in power is very much in its own national interests. >> so russia says that they want using gone. the u.s. wants using gone. it seems that in some strange way they actually have a mutual goal when it comes to syria and isil? >> they do. in fact, if the u.s. and russia could overcome their differences, the big overriding goal is pretty much the same. the problem is, of course, is that putin wants to maintain the assad regime in power, and the assad regime is viewed in the west and most of the arab world as something that has got to go and is, indeed, responsible for the civil war. most people outside of russia thinks that as long as the assad regime is in place, the civil war will continue, and you won't have a political settlement as long as it's there.

putin, on the other hand, thinks propping up the regime is the best way to maintain a russian foothold in the middle east. >> any way to tell how far putin would take this? this support of assad? >> i think he's going to stick with them to the very end. it's probably now that there will be discussions on what to do with assad in the future. but rather than just trying to usher him out of the country and perhaps provide support, they view it as the best bet for russian interests and defeating isil. of course, they're making a great deal of that because the international community agrees with them, that isil is generally bad. what they're saying in essence is this. you can support all these isil

groups. what the assad regime might, if it is backed fully by russia, what's more, look, if the assad regime had never been attacked. had the civil war prompted in large part by saudi arabia and isil never would have gained a foothold in syria. he has a different view of syria and russian interests are different from western interests in this respect. >> thank you very much. all right, up next on the eve of the second republican debate. carson is gaining in the polls. plus an app that could prevent people from being sexually assaulted on campus.

>> this is al jazeera america. i'm richelle carey. john seigenthaler is off. >> framing the debate. donald trump caulk national security as a new challenger

rises on the eve of the republican battle. are taxi services like uber leaving people in wheelchairs behind? >> he saw my chair and then the trip was canceled. >> why critics say they're fighting in the name of fairness. plus "the warriors." the stars of the classic talks about why the film resonates today. >> it appears don't trum donald trump has serious competition in the holes. the polls show ben carson making a huge leap. up to 23% from six percent. trump is still on top up 3% over last no.

carson's rise comes from jeb busch's fall down to 6% to 13%. trump is in california tonight where he'll deliver a speech on national university while on board a decommissioned battleship. the event is on the uss iowa. it comes one day before the second presidential debate. you can see live pictures. you can see that mr. trump is not there yet. it follows criticism over trump's grasp of foreign policy. what can we expect from the speech. i know that's a difficult question because you never know what to expect from donald trump when he speaks. >> that's right. you never know what to expect when donald trump speaks. this is really about national security. so rump is going to talk about national security. he has not given a great deal of

specifics. there are protesters here off to my left. there are people protesting his immigration stance. he's here to prove that he can play with the big people when it comes to talking national security. >> he self admits that he gets most of his military administration from watching television shows, so it's difficult to know if he has any beliefs when it comes to the united states and power, unlike president reagan, who talked about this shining city on a hill. i'm not sure that you're going to see that sort of specifics or passion from donald trump, but you'll see more or less a policy that america will come out on top and be a winner. that's where he struck a nerve with the american public. >> and that's exactly what he needs to do here. he has a favorable audience. of course, it's not ironic that

this is the uss iowa. if this were the state of iowa he would be doing really well. he's doing well there, but he has to convince people, veterans especially that he can deal with national security. >> so it is catching up to donald trump. how does this change things? >> as can always be expected is the unexpected. will he engage with ben carson. anyone who engages with donald trump usually finds themselves on the other end of his rhetoric. carson's numbers have shown that people are paying attention to what he has to say. he also has never been recollected to public office. something that republican voters are starting to look at. donald trump or ben carson. if they're looking for someone who has never been elected to public office then which of

these two men will represent the republican party. >> who is feeling the pressure to do well tomorrow? >> well, again, you know, it's a broken record here. when you're the frontrunner everyone looks towards you. you have to do well. he has to make sure that there is no crack in his armor. however, there are other people who know that the republican donors are watching these events. people who have not gotten traction yet, marco rubio, ted cruz, rand paul, those candidates need to do well. a lot of people are not talking about him. he has not made a mark yet, but chris christie, this may be his last chance to step into the middle of the fray. you haven't seen the typical chris christie, that air has been sucked out by don't trump. this may be the place where you look at chris christie and see if this is the place he finally makes a move. if not, then you have to start looking at the end of october and think that this may not be working for chris christie.

>> thanks, mike. more than 400 people across 31 states have become sickened from a salmonella poisoning from could you comers. the center for disease control said that two people have dead and 91 have been hospitalized. half of the infected people have been children under the age of 18. could you comers imported from mexico are the likely source. michigan is importing it's own first recorded case of bubonic case. to illustrate how rare this is, this is a map of all bubonic playing cases in the u.s. from 1970 to 2012. every case except one, which was lab related happened in the west. the patient who is now recovering recently returned from colorado. so far this year 14 people in the u.s. have been diagnosed with the disease. double the usual annual rate. an assistant professor at the university of pittsburgh medical center, we appreciate you so

very much for joining us. what are the common causes of the bubonic plague? >> it is caused by fleas that usually live on rodents. so in the united states it's usually prairie dogs that harbor the plague bacteria. kind of from texas on west. that's where we find plague cases in the united states. that's important to know because this michigan person had traveled west of that line, so it's not surprising that this case from michigan the first ever there originated in colorado. >> you're saying that this case in michigan, is there any reason for anyone in michigan to be concerned about anything? >> no, there isn't. the prairie dog population is restricted to that part of the united states. we don't usually see cases. the only case in illinois is a lab-related cases. so colorado, new mexico, texas, california, that's where we see plague cases in the united states, and we always have a

handful. this year seems to be a large year for plague. not the largest on record, but it is. >> is that concerning? yes, it is obviously rare. yes there are only 14 cases, but still is that concerning to you? >> it's interesting in 2006 we had 17 cases. that was the biggest on record. offer, with 14 cases so far it is a cause for concern in that we need to understand why these cases are occurring. are people interacting with prairie dogs in a certain way that puts them at higher risk for plague? are people not taking precaution with fleas? are their pets predisposed? we need to understand why these cases are occurring at such a high clip this year. but i don't think it's a reason to worry. it's not going to be the return of the black death or anything like that. >> how does it get from a prairie dog or an animal to a person? how does that happen? >> usually the rodent species you're talking about, that will

go from that to a bet, to a human or directly to a human when they bite. the prairie dogs themselves are not at risk, it's the interaction with the fleas. that's what we have to understand, what kind of spill over is occurring to allow these 14 cases to occur this year. >> so what are the symptoms? >> the bubonic plague is something that we're seeing at the moment. bluflu-like system. you might have a lymph node that will get swollen, that's what you'll have to look for. >> thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> a seattle police officer has been fired for arresting an elderly man who was carrying a golf club as a gate. william was on his daily ten-mile walk last year when a police officer stopped him. the officer said that she saw him swing the club and hit a

stop sign. after a heated argument she arrested him for unlawful use of a weapon. the police chief said that she violated the department policy regarding bias and discretion during the arrest. a number of high profile cases have recently drawn attention to the issue of campus sexual assault. many efforts are under way to keep young women safe. one is a new app designed to connect a student with friends who can quickly come to her aid. >> it's a new school year at the williams college in north west pass pass. settling into school includes the familiar. meeting fellow students, making short cuts around campus and handling old problems. sex assault. >> thertitle nine complaints put schools at risk of losing

federal funding and a survey revealed 45 to 50 rapes occur at the college each year. administrators admit that they have a lot of work to do. >> when we think about data the only acceptable prevalence number is europe. we have to work for that. we have to believe that it's possible. otherwise we then start to have conversations about what is the acceptable level of sexual violence? and there isn't one. >> part of the school's swans was to appoint a full-time director of sex yum assault prevention and sexual response. >> if we had had this conversation in "n" 2001-2003 about intervening in these situations. what people would have said is that it's not my business. >> another part of the school's response, make it everyone's business. to do that williams became the first school in the country to use a new social media apple "circle of six."

"circle of six" was developed as part of the white house challenge absence against abuse. the goal, provide a certain app that provides tools to prevent sexual assault and dating violence. an app that involves one's friends in preventing assault was a key requirement. >> the user chooses six people. we wrote pre-programmed text messages come get me i need help with your address, gps conversation. call, interrupt me, i'm in an uncomfortable situation, or i need to talk. you choose who you feel safe with. who can you talk. >> all are asked to download the app, which is free to students. privacy is part of the app. the school can track general patterns such as spikes in usage on picker weekends like halloween. it also shows that students will use technology to call on their

presents for help long before they call the police. >> hypothetically it works. i think its hard for convince people who had already developed their routine, their friends, their thought process to use the app. i think that's something that we'll continue to o on throughout the year. >> al jazeera, williams town, massachusetts. >> you can see more of the report tomorrow night at 10:00 eastern. up next, ride services uber and lift are under fire from people with disabilities. actor michael beck on what makes the movie "the warriors," an enduring u.k. classic.

>> farm workers stri

>> uber has seen its value skyrocket over six years to $50 billion.

it's made its name by marketing quick availability. but raiders with disability say they're being left out of the mix. they're accusing uber and similar companies called lift biased. mary snow has more. >> stephanie woodward is a vibrant lawyer and activist who doesn't let anything get in her way. but on a recent trip to washington dc, she encountered a barrier that she said is blatant discrimination of uber by not providing service to disabled people. >> i can't get out of my chair. do you know how i can get an accessible vehicle. >> stephanie was born with spinal bifida and is in a wheelchair. when she calls for a car or tacty she needed a ramp to help her. there was no place to specify that on the app. >> he was really nice about it. he said let me see if i can help

you. he was unable to find a way to get a wheelchair accessible vehicle. he suggested i would be better off getting a taxi. >> does this make it more disappointing? >> when their tag line is to have transportation for all people. what they really mean is we want access for transportation for all non-disabled people, and the rest of you stay home. >> there have been class action lawsuit filed against uber and it's competitor lift accusing the company of violating the americans with disabilities actor "o" disdisability act or ada. in texas, separate lawsuits that

they were denied rides bilobaer. >> i want to be able to pay for a service just like everybody else. >> the department of justice filed a state of interest in the california case against uber. it pointed out that, quote, while an entity may contract out it's service, it may not contract a way that it's ada responsibilities. but operators of these ride-sharing apps see it differently. they argue that their drivers are independent contractors and not part of a transportation fleet. therefore they're unable to control the actions of their drivers and legally can't enforce compliance. we went to washington, d.c. during a conference celebrating the 25th anniversary of the ada. we asked four people to try to use these transportation network companies while we videotaped their experience. >> the app itself does not have

an area that is wheelchair accessible at any time. if it would have been a compact car it would have been a challenge for my service dog. >> becoming a paraplegic after a speed traveling accident, and he fount a courteous driver who was more than willing to work with him figuring out how to get him to his location. >> for me that was huge, to have him pick me up quickly, he was so kind, and i was able to get in the car. that was a pretty big deal to have that opportunity. >> matt, from harrisburg, pennsylvania, never used the transportation providers before, because they are not in his town. he was curious to see what he would find when he requested an abandon. while the first car could not accommodate matt's chair, he did

suggest that he request an another car. and tell the driver when he calls that he's in a wheelchair. that's what he did and then he waited. his driver called and said exactly where he was. >> i'm right on the corner. i'm in front of the hyatt. >> i assume he saw hey from across the road. saw my chair, and maybe 30 seconds later the trip was automatically canceled. >> any reason given for why that trip was canceled? >> it said that the driver canceled this trip. please request another driver. >> how did you feel? >> if someone can exclude me becaus based on what i look like. he didn't couldn't say i can't handle you. he just canceled my trip.
