a parliamentary vote to become prime minister twenty seven worshipers have been killed in an attack on a mosque in northeastern nigeria. and gunmen from an armed group linked to i still have opened fire on unarmed iraqi civilians and i'm near north of baghdad at least five people were killed mine others injured. at least fourteen asylum seekers from the so-called migrant caravan have been allowed to cross over from mexico into the u.s. territory schools of other latin american migrants have been celebrating the news as they wait their turn to enter the united states it took them a month to travel from one duracell salver though and. one man well. on the mexican side of the border man on what he tells about this fourteen who have reportedly been processed by u.s. officials are and i was really going down with the patience of those still waiting . you might be able to hear some of the people chanting behind me
1:16 am
a lot of them still celebrating that that many were allowed to go through we were able to get confirmation from migrant activists that eight individuals were allowed to pass through the border gate at the mexican side and ill and enter that inspection facility on the u.s. side another six were allowed to enter today three families entered today most of these individuals that have passed or women single mothers and their children but we should note that because just because the they have been granted the opportunity to plead their cases doesn't mean that they will be granted asylum it's still a very long road ahead for a lot of these people facing six months in detention up to a year in detention with no guarantee that they will be granted. asylum and not be sent back to their home countries but behind me you might be able to see some of the tarps and tents that that many of these migrants have set up because earlier today that we've had periods of rain it's been quite cold we've seen activists and charity organizers coming in and handing out blankets and food medical volunteers
1:17 am
checking on a lot of these children half of these individuals that are here from honduras guatemala and el salvador are children and many of them and have been showing slight signs of illness so we've had medical volunteers coming through but that impasse that we saw and that confusion that we saw taking place over the last few days over whether or not they would be allowed these migrants would be allowed to plead that their asylum cases has given way to what seems to be now a slow trickle of individuals that are being allowed to pass through those gates and plead their cases to border officials and what more do you know about the department of justice a statement saying the eleven have tried to cross illegally and have now been arrested. we did hear that announcement by the u.s. department of justice saying that eleven individuals were captured about six kilometers away from where we are right now at the official border crossing in t. who want to even though the department of justice says that these are individuals that are members of the migrant caravan we cannot and independently verify those
1:18 am
claims activists here have denied that those individuals are part of that of that caravan by the way we saw here some individuals chanting i don't know if you hear that many of them are still excited they're in high spirits that they will have an opportunity to cross but your question about those eleven that were detained we can't independently verify that but remember at its height this was a migrant caravan that was that was comprised of some around fifteen hundred individuals many of them have since broken off from the group so there is a chance that some of them may have tried to cross the border illegally again we can't verify that the vast majority of people that we've spoken to overwhelmingly tell us that they don't want to do anything illegal they want to go about this using the existing asylum laws in the united states and that means turning them. selves into border authorities which is what they plan to do which is why they have been camping out here the last three days now waiting for their opportunity waiting for their turn in line to turn themselves into border authorities thank you for that update manuel appollo speaking to us than from tehran. and with us of

questions that robert muller will supposedly ask president trumpets part of his russia pro at this have been a lake's us media reports the list contains at least forty questions for the president including trump's ties to russia and other questions designed to determine whether he obstructed the inquiry himself i tickle hain has more from washington. special counsel robert muller wants to talk to the president as part of his negotiation he allegedly provided some of the questions to donald trump's lawyers that he wants to ask now leaked to the new york times it asks what the president knew about his campaign team's communications with russians why he fired f.b.i. director james comey and what he knew about hacked democratic e-mails but it also points to a new area of investigation it asked quote what knowledge did you have of any outreach by your campaign including by paul mann afford to russia about potential assistance to the campaign the key word there outreach as in did the campaign
1:20 am
actively ask for russia's assistance another question raises new questions it asks after the resignations what efforts were made to reach out to mr flynn about seeking immunity or possible pardon basically when former national security advisor michael flynn resigned did you offer him a pardon to stay quiet potentially that could be a crime of obstructing justice flynn lied to the f.b.i. about communications he had with russia pled guilty and is cooperating with the investigation trump took to twitter to defend himself writing it would seem very hard to obstruct justice for a crime that never happened which aren't but that's not how this actually works if investigators are look. it into a crime and someone tries to interfere with that investigation that in and of itself is a crime and a potentially impeachable offense regardless of what they find in the original investigation he also went on twitter to complain and say in part that it was disgraceful that the questions were leaked to the media no questions on collusion
1:21 am
he wrote a couple of problems with that the new york times says the leak came from trump's side and asked for no collusion most of the questions are actually about collusion we've already seen plenty of evidence of collusion this is not the first piece but obviously if mr man apart was in fact talking to russians about the campaign that would put it at the very top of the trunk campaign that would be very close to mr trump himself this is a high stakes question for the president talk to moeller and why that's a crime or sit down and refuse to answer questions that could have serious political repercussions but either way the clock is ticking he'll soon have to decide what to do. washington. the un this nuclear watchdog has reacted skeptically to the israeli prime minister's latest allegations about iran's nuclear program and i am i said there was no credible indications of iranian

disagree we've already seen an example of outskirts of damascus and in the new development on what was said. where actually what happened there is that the informal residents of these areas were forced out of their homes they were dispossessed with no compensation and the likelihood of them getting any kind of compensation is almost nonexistent so i think we will see the same scenario play out over and over again. international aid agencies say just nine percent of syrian refugees and displaced have their property title deeds with them that means millions could be stuck in camps in syria and across the region. this could put pressure on refugee host nations already european countries are voicing concern the german foreign ministry said the legislation could change a property ownership to the benefit of the syrian government and its supporters it also accused the government. of hindering the return of a huge number of syrians yousif most are shoppin is among them he was an opposition
