immigrants who have been protected from deportation under the deck a program nonetheless president as taught in the stop gap do you as a victory for his party tweeting big win for republicans as democrats cave on shut down now i want a big win for everyone including republicans democrats and dhaka but especially for our great military and border security should be able to get there see you at the negotiating table. reports from washington d.c. . kicking the can down the road the phrase used to describe the now familiar practice of the us congress delaying a problem solution for another day the motion is adopted without objection a motion to reconsider is laid on the table on monday the house and senate voted to reopen the federal government until the really eighth that buys lawmakers three weeks to agree on a more permanent budget plan this is not

a moment of better selves in the back not even close we very much need to heed the lessons of what just happened here we need to move forward in good faith. but faith between the two parties is lacking particularly on immigration that issue was the source of the shutdown stalemate as democrats demanded protections for so-called dreamers young undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children and republicans refused monday's compromise as a concession from democrats to reopen the government under intense public pressure while accepting a promise from republicans to address immigration later we have not yet protect their create just young dreamers not only should we protect them we should embrace them value them we should be grateful for the inspiration they are to america all our important work for the american people had to be put on hold while this manufactured crisis was dealt well we made no substantive

progress and i want to ask all of serious bipartisan negotiation. to solve issues such as immigration and border security. health care defense spending and many other matters come tuesday federal offices will reopen hundreds of thousands of government employees will return to their jobs and a sense of normalcy will return to washington after three days of chaos but the difficult job of negotiating a more permanent solution to immigration and to the budget will just be beginning leaving the country wondering whether another stalemate is just around the corner heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington well heidi referred there to dreamers young people who were brought to the united states illegally as children by their parents and here's how some are reacting to the shutdown deal like no outrage and rage

through our various by what's going on because they have shown us that they care about us all the things that. show how much that they hate us and our stand why they hate us we're here working hard to no taxes trying to get a better education training our community better yet they do what they don't care they don't care that we're out here. not knowing what's going to happen next is just another form or another form of betrayal i've lived my knowing so loving this country i pledge allegiance to its flag and so for them to see that they're not willing to protect us it's a betrayal moving on to other news now in turkey his campaign to push couldst y.p. g. forces out of northern syria has been slowed down by bad weather the offensive in a fleet is now in its fourth day and has created a new front in the eighty seven you turkey wants to create a thirty kilometer deep buffer zone to protect its border from fighters it for gods as terrorists let's get more on this now we're joined by correspondent stephanie

decker she's live for us and on talk in nieto he's border with syria's a fourth day as we mentioned stephanie how is the offensive unfolding. as you mentioned the weather will be a challenge of visibility is it's raining and it is for calls to be like this for the next couple of days but we do know particularly yesterday there was heavy shelling going on all day long with along the border where we are we know that those border villages speaking to contacts from telling also people have moved away from those because of the heavy bombardment from that border area and then of course you have the ground forces which this weather will be making it more complicated turkey announced last night officially its first casualty one soldier dead it's very difficult to verify if there were any casualties on the free syrian army side these are of course the syrian rebels fighting this for turkey at the frontline that it supports and the white p.g. saying that twelve civilians and two fighters have been killed but again that is

difficult to confirm as you mentioned as well as start of a new ground offensive from the east let's take a look at how the last twenty four hours unfolded. it's almost becoming routine shelling and heavy artillery fired by the turkish army into syria. the monday border new development with turkey opening a new front in the ground offensive free syrian army fighters will now move towards africa and from the east. initially the f.s.a. forces entered syria through turkey from its west and northern borders and after the airstrikes and heavy shelling helped pave the way in the first twenty four hours turkey says it is targeting. kurdish group it says is a terrorist organization which also happens to be america's strongest ally in fighting isis and in syria as ever complicated web of regional and international allegiances and to russia key to allowing turkey to operate enough something many already knew but the turkey's president admitted to on monday for the first time.

we will. know stepping back from a free we discussed this with our russian friends we have an agreement with them. turkey's top military officials and intelligence chief for in moscow in the run up to the offensive russia had military personnel in africa in which it has now pulled out the people of africa and we've spoken to feel a sense of abandonment a feeling of betrayal echoed in a news conference by the syrian democratic forces further east of a free in the group backed by the u.s. to fight eisel with the bulk of its fighters from the wipe e.g. the north of lots of turkey would not have dared to show our cities or villages or commit crimes against our children without russia violating their ethical obligation towards us and giving the green light to turkey to fly their jet fighters over offer in skies therefore russia is required to provide an explanation of the circumstances around the turkish aggression against our people an explanation may be hard to come by the politics of syria's war are being played out

behind closed doors the war however is as active as ever it's been really difficult to get information out of a free because the culms have been so bad but we have managed to speak to some sources who tell us that life inside the city of offering itself is pretty normal they say the y.p. g. is adamant that they are not going to give up the city or the region they do tell us however that from the border going to just the people who live there many have moved further into because of turkey's relentless shelling and that is something that we've been hearing here intensively throughout the day. there's been a steady stream of minute she hardware heading to the border turkey says it will not stop its offensive until it is pushed the wipe away from its borders further complicating syria's almost seven year long war. further complicating a very complex picture stephanie so what does all of this main then for the bigger picture and syria now. well if you look at it you know have

two major allies very much at odds over their syria policy you have turkey bombarding the y p g and as we mentioned in our package they are the best ally of the united states fighting isolate fight that is still ongoing in certain pockets inside syria so there's one big question here when you listen to the turkish politicians the president warning that members will be next this is a y p g how telling further to the east of syria this is where the u.s. interests come or into play so it will be interesting to see if turkey does that and what the u.s. reaction will be at the same time elizabeth referring back to russia there behind closed doors this is sort of carving up serious territory in the interest of these international players certainly those negotiations there you see the russians gave the green light to turkey for our freedom well they would have done that with getting something in return and many who will tell you that there is another offensive in happening at the moment that is the province held by sort of the last

major area by a rebel allegiance called the hyatt the cradle shams led by the group for me known as than the store front of russia and damascus have been bombing them over the last month or so turkey was unhappy about that but now it's gone much more quiet so it gives you an indication of the behind the scenes negotiations tit for tat going on about this for want stephanie thank you very much for that finale that stephanie deca joining us live from talking with the very latest on thank you. while tensions about what's going on in a free and have world of germany's hand over airport. codes holding flags representing no will be syria and iraq you could a staunch on to fascists and go on and reference to could president about twenty took some codes were involved in the fight to will hurt took his offensive has sparked protests among the kurdish diaspora. to the democratic republic of congo

it was well planned and highly coordinated the attackers had a lot of weapons and ammunition and they they also targeted rooms with prominent individuals suggesting they had insider information and perhaps a cast of weapon security sources suggest already planted inside the hotel well in advance of this attack now there's been some accusations that it may have been connected to the new private security firm that it's taken over just three weeks before they were in charge of the external security checkpoints coming in and outside of the hotel inside the hotel hotel management was in charge of security we understand that there were some communications difficulties that some v.i.p.'s on the orders of the hotel management were allowed to come in and not be searched we do know that the x. ray machine for baggage was not working for several weeks so definitely some holes in security the taliban have claimed. sponsibility for this attack a very very highly coordinated attack that went on for many many hours with

fighters going room to room people trapped on balconies for many hours and you can see a sheet there hanging some of them trying to get out as this attack went on but the real question for the government is going to be how did they get people inside the building who is helping the taliban to carry out this very very complex attack that killed so many and has the government wondering can they prevent something from having something like this from happening again. to japan now where an erupting volcano has showered rocks on a ski resort killing one person and injuring more than a dozen others this was the moment debris fell on a ski field near the central town of. four people will caution an avalanche emergency services have warned that rocks could be thrown as far as two kilometers from the peak. having received information from the site that an avalanche happened and struck some people and that plumes were rising great gathering information at
