over cross the coast and not even getting into some of the more remote areas when you have it in an earthquake that is that high a seven point seven in that shallow or ten kilometers that does significant damage something i would not be surprised unfortunately in sounds of the not to say that those numbers will go on correlated we have people who is down from the do. that are having to travel ten to twelve hours one of your go along the roads there ssion where you need water trucks for the shelter yeah it's going to tarpaulins all the things that occurred need and we're hopefully that the faster we can clear some about a way that's absolutely everyone in the humanitarian community really stuff to people that they need quickly and more efficiently almost two hundred thousand homes in southern japan are without power after typhoon trami hit the southern island of okinawa dozens of flights have been canceled and hundreds of people have been

evacuated the storm is expected to reach mainland japan in the next twenty four hours western japan is still recovering after typhoon gebbie was told through the country and this month can it be seventeen people serious foreign minister has called on troops from the u.s. france and turkey to withdraw from his country calling them occupation forces while a demo lemuel said told the u.n. general assembly that syria was close to winning the seven label and in his words defeating terrorism he said that syria was now ready for the return of refugees who fled the fighting. has more from new york. it was a defiant. telling the international community basically that they have to come to terms with the fact that bashar assad has the upper hand and that is just a matter of time before the syrian army takes over the whole of syria now even if the syrians take over the territories the last of the opposition there will have to

deal with a particular issue which is the presence of the turkish army of the northern part of the country french and american troops based in the eastern part of syria they are there to provide assistance to the kurdish militias operating there now for the syrian foreign minister what is the marlin those troops have to pull out otherwise the syrian army will use force let's listen to what the syrian farmers have to say in. any foreign presence on syrian territory without the consent of the syrian government is illegal and constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and the un charter it's an assault on our sovereignty which undermines counterterrorism efforts and threatens regional peace and security we therefore consider any forces operating on syrian territory without any explicit request from the government including u.s. french and turkish forces occupying forces who will be dealt with accordingly they must withdraw immediately and without conditions. one of them describe the

opposition as terrorist describe the neighboring countries particularly turkey as a safe haven for terrorist groups moving into syria who dismiss calls for dialogue would pave the ground for the opposition to share power with the government saying that bashar assad will stay in power and that anything that is not under the terms of the national sovereignty and the with the syrian people will be rejected. north korea's foreign minister has also addressed the un general assembly accusing the u.s. of deepening mistrust between their countries through sanctions three young said it was unrealistic for washington to expect pyongyang to denuclearize while sanctions are in place but the u.s. has insisted sanctions against north korea must stay in place until its nuclear weapons program ends for good you know unmask has agreed to step down as chairman

of the electric car company tesla as bored as part of a settlement over fraud charges could also pay a twenty million dollars fine under the deal with the securities and exchange commission asked was accused of misleading investors when he tweeted that he had secured funding to take the company private. on their story how does your castro joins us now from washington so this was quite a saga there's still a talk us through what happened and what about the punishment more about the punishment. that's right laurin this all back to a tweet in august that will now perhaps be go down in history as the most expensive tweet in twitter's history in august musk tweeted his twenty two million followers that he was considering taking tesla private that funding was secured at four hundred twenty dollars a share the federal security regulators looked at that and said musk never had the means to make that happen and in fact when he withdrew the plan later the

shareholders who bought stocks based on that tweet alone on their competence in musk's word as founder and c.e.o. of tesla then those shareholders lost money and so as part of the settlement musk will be paying twenty million dollars to redress the harm caused to those investors plus tesla itself will be paying another twenty million bring the total cost of this tweet to forty million dollars and the f.c.c. regulators are alleging that the story behind the four hundred twenty dollars a share price tag that that musk announced really shed some light on what they say was a erratic behavior of tesla's founder they say that he came up with four hundred twenty because of the numbers significance to the marijuana culture in that he wrote in a e-mail to a coworker that he thought this number and a tweet would a news his girlfriend none of this was amusing to the people who did end up losing money it was an amusing to the federal regulators and in their eyes it was illegal

and now musk as you said has settled and how much will it damage. right so tesla at first was not named in the lawsuit it was added later although it has escaped fraud charges of its own as part of the settlement to pay the company to pay twenty million in addition to the twenty that musk is paying no one is admitting any fault here rather tesla is now obligated to hire two new independent directors to its board with the main task of overseeing musk's continued communications with shareholders he namely he's still going to remain c.e.o. as part of this deal but the fact that the federal government is requiring that the company he founded and leads basically in a sense leashes their their founder by having this oversight it's really a dramatic step and what we've seen as the decline of moscow for the last few

months starting with that tweet in august to shareholders then to the allegations that he lodge without basis against the. cave divert that helped rescue those boys from the thai land cave alleging that he was a pedophile and then to going on to live web stream smoking marijuana all of which has been really shattering investors' confidence in him and in his company or in your question thank you very much indeed still to come on the program turkey's president opens one of europe's largest mosques in germany despite protests against his visit. the deadline looms britain has just six months into this you should leave the e.u. but negotiations remain at a deadlock. hello
