continuing work at at least sixteen facilities around the country including at one facility not even an hour's drive from the border with south korea that of course is very worrisome because south korea has a substantial threat of north korean nuclear missiles the question now becomes what to do there are a number of sanctions that have been imposed on north korea by both the united nations and the united states but because of the u.s. efforts to try to broker a unilateral deal with north korea on denuclearization there is this sense now that north korea feels empowered to basically step up activities that have been deemed illegal by the national community that includes expanding trade with both china and russia its two closest neighbors and as the u.s. has alleged for many years two of its most important protectors on the global stage the question is can the trumpet ministration now find

a way to not only make north korea stop development of these military programs but also carry out the sorts of inspections that would verify that north korea is trying to make good on its promise to give up its nuclear weapons program nicaragua's government says protests against president daniel ortega have caused almost a billion dollars in economic damage but it failed to account for more than three hundred people rights groups say have been killed in demonstrations since april the crackdown on protesters has sparks widespread international condemnation it's caused tens of thousands to flee many while dropping the reports from nicaragua's border with costa rica. out of the little bit he gets says the police recently broke into his house in the us knew that i would have been harassing and threatening him he's been an outspoken critic of the nicaraguan government and is one of the leaders of the anti-government youth and. now he's worried his activism might get him killed and wants to leave the country. is that the man down the most

i've been sent messages calling me a traitor saying i'll end up dead or cut by a machete saying they hope i can sleep after reading those messages they say they know where i am and they're close we traveled to the border and met several other nicaraguan nationals like out of nado who are looking to cross illegally into closeout rica at the ben yes blanco's border crossing an entire industry is built around the constant flow of illegal migration their food stamps clothing stores and vendors renting out rubber boots to shield against the sticky mud. some of those crossing illegally are day workers there are others however who are leaving the country out of fear but this woman says she's received death threats for supporting the opposition to the government of president daniel ortega she's asked to remain anonymous not at the office on but i have no intention of returning home now maybe after this government is gone but but for now i can't return home even to see my own father. after speaking with us the woman rented a pair of boots and paid

a smuggler to take her and her young daughter across the border they quickly vanished into the brush migrants arriving in pena's blanco's will often hire a guide to walk them about six hundred miles toward an illegal crossing those who fear being seen by authorities however say they will walk even further down the border through the jungle at night in hopes of making it safely into. the government of course says there are currently twenty five thousand nicaraguan citizens already in the country experts warn the worsening political and economic situation will lead to even more forced migration i mean as you well know that if there is voluntary migration because of the economic situation but this is not the case this is a forced migration to save the lives of nicaraguans back into the of us of another grabs a portrait off the wall and tries to leave his house in order with his bags packed he says he's ready to travel to the border but promises to return soon and continue

a hero we can only be a sidekick and lastly be said you say he's got all kind of problems don't you understand stan he's a hero heroes don't absolve them that's why they rose with their joe's what i know lee was unique because he blended human weaknesses in vulnerabilities with superhero powers in his characters a stand basically took. the medium of comics sixty years ago and he changed it for the better he created the real the relatable superhero at midtown comics in new york city his fans said they could relate to his characters and it was realistic because you had characters like spider-man who are always going through trials and tribulations is still overcoming so i gave you stuff so you can believe in yourself lee turned his love for fictional characters into marvel comics in entertainment a company he co-founded and was so successful it was bought by the walt disney

turkey reveals new details about the death of saudi journalist and a by the people who killed him. summit and seven years of fighting libyan leaders and foreign powers meeting need to lead and a looming humanitarian crisis hundreds of thousands of congolese refugees are forced to leave. us. thank you for joining as israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is holding an urgent cabinet meeting after a night of violence across gaza in which six finest indians were killed the israeli military targeted dozens of positions it says are linked to hamas and islamic jihad it also says both hamas headquarters and al aqsa television station were hit at the same time almost four hundred rockets have been fired by palestinian factions from gaza into israel around one hundred of them were intercepted the rocket attacks

killed one palestinian man living in israel while several israelis have been injured and the u.n. secretary general is urging all sides to exercise restraint it all began on sunday after a covert israeli operation in gaza killed a hamas commander and seven other palestinians and israeli soldier was also killed now we have two correspondents following the latest on the gaza as strikes hoda abdel-hamid is in west jerusalem for us but first let's go to harry fossett he is in the hot also on the israel gaza border harry tell us first about the situation where you are is it calmer now than it was a few hours ago. it certainly seems as if we've reached a bit of a pause in events since the extremely high tempo of rocket launches and air strikes that we've been seeing since the this all began yesterday monday afternoon we've been here a little over an hour and while we can hear israeli drones in the air there have been no rocket launches no sirens that we could hear during the course of that time

but as you were saying it has been a particularly violent few hours we have heard that six palestinians in total have been killed inside gaza three of them from the popular front of the liberation of palestine two of them from islamic jihad we're still waiting confirmation on the identity of the role of the six and on the israeli side of the border one palestinian from hebron in the occupied west bank who was in ashkelon just a short distance from here he was killed when a rocket struck his home so this remains an extremely tense situation as we continue with what seems to be a pause on both sides for now a pause on both sides for now of course we're waiting to hear what will come out of the emergency cabinet meeting that prime minister netanyahu is holding right now we talked a lot about that but from the palestinian side harry is there appetite to deescalate

the tension. well in some ways you just soon because of the high level of political investment that hamas has put into the truce talks that have been going on with egypt the u.n. mediated inflow of qatari fuel and money to really ameliorate the energy situation inside gaza electricity and some salary at least partial salary payments starting to come in so there is a lot to gain for hamas and particularly the people inside gaza from a deescalation however on the other side of the ledger there was this israeli incursion on sunday night which although israel said and hamas seems publicly to accept it was not an assassination attempt against this relatively senior local commander of hamas' military wing that is how it turned out there was a gunfight in which seven palestinians including this man were killed and in the

aftermath of that the other palestinian factions mourners at the funerals of these men more generally there was a call for a response and so the palace in factions including hamas which of course is the most senior controls the gaza strip came together and started launching this big question is whether they are in a position domestically to say they've done enough same questions going to be asked on the israeli side as well right thank you for that harry foster a life or is there on the israel gaza border let's cross over to her dad had been now who was in jerusalem for us west jerusalem well precisely as we said these really cabinet holding an emergency meeting after these latest tensions what can we expect from matt how much pressure is prime minister netanyahu under for a military action. certainly he will be under pressure by certain. by certain people within that cabinet who in the past already had and had

made it voice their opinion that a war in gaza is necessary or women feel those are the words for example of the defense minister avigdor lieberman a few months ago you also have enough that he bennett who also is of that opinion but prime minister netanyahu himself was just on sunday in paris and he was making the case for d's talks for trying to reach an agreement of a long term ceasefire with hamas he was actually saying there in paris that he was trying to do his best to avoid in his words and this is scary war and unnecessary loss of life so you probably will have some very robust conversations going on in that cabinet has been going on now for about three hours it probably will last another couple of hours and then we will maybe here is what is the thinking in the leadership here in israel now prime minister netanyahu last night met with the military and security leadership of this country he got

a operational update we know not many details were given public but certainly you do have a situation where both sides actually israel and hamas are sort of under fire by their own public opinion by their own constituency they need both need to show that they have the terrence capability now the question is how far is that deterrence cup ability going to go is it going to continue as well as the pattern we have seen over the last forty eight hours or is it actually going to escalate into a full blown war they have been some progress in talks between israel and hamas recent be brokered by egypt and the u.n. where do these latest tensions this latest findings leave those efforts. well actually throughout the morning we have been hearing of sort of conflicting reports from with from the israeli media some reporters saying that the talks the

movement had ceasefire talks had stopped but then others are quoting diplomatic sources saying that actually they haven't stop now one can presume that at this stage the u.n. is doing its best egypt is probably also working defoe and the between hamas and israel trying to find some sort of way forward but you know you have to also remember how long it took for these talks to reach any tangible progress and we had heard over the past few weeks over the past few months those progress was being made actually of the latest we are being heard we. really do working the details we're being working worked out of afford this eventual long term cease fire agreement now if that is under the table at this particular moment i don't know we'll have to wait to see what prime minister netanyahu says and also the

leadership of hamas but on the other side i think that whether this situation into a war or not both sides know that at the end of the day no matter the destruction no matter the loss of life no matter how long a war could last or not they will have to again sit at the table or they will have to again resume these talks in the future so it is really a catch twenty two situation thank you for that hoda abdel-hamid live for us in west jerusalem and other world news turkish president typewriter one has given new details about the killing of jamal khashoggi he says a saudi intelligence officer told him whoever killed the journalist must have been on heroin was made it inside the saudi consulate in istanbul on october second by what turkey has described as a hit squad and her simmons has an eight in some istanbul. president heard one was giving an off camera briefing to turkish journalists about his meeting with donald trump on saturday night he said that it was now down to the saudi arabians to come

up with some art says of all the requests put to them about the justice for these eighteen suspects he said there was no hunt for a killer because they were obviously killers were monks those men he said that there had to be international corporation in the future and as a way of describing the horror surrounding the recorded tapes he spoke of a saudi intelligence officer listening to them and reacting with shock and saying someone on heroin would have to do something like that or words to that effect now the new york times has also had access to a transcript of the recordings and it has published a story saying that there had been a conversation from one of the killers now that is my her mother tribe who has actually said in all of food in the time that tell your boss the deed

has been done now this is being interpreted as a message to the very top within the saudi leadership but was it mohammed bin selman the crown prince well that recording doesn't seem to prove the point but some observers say it is a damning part of the evidence libya's renegade general he for have tower won't join talks to try to stabilize the country after seven years of fighting libya's leaders and other foreign powers have been meeting in italy for a conference the summit in sicily the latest attempt to bring all parties together following a similar attempt in paris in may next month's elections in libya have been canceled because of violence john ho has more from palermo in a to me. well the morning here in scene a meeting taking place that must be seen as the substance and backbone of this conference drawing together the big power center in the east and the west of libya general khalifa haftar who controls much of the east along with his foreign backers

the prime minister of russia the president of egypt and the foreign minister of france talking across the table with fires off farrar she's the u.n. back to prime minister with his government in tripoli and his chief foreign sponsor italy and the prime minister the host of this conference to separate continent and all of them being drawn together by the u.n. envoy for libya husain salam a who of course as we know is promoting a brand new road map towards elections to take place in libya by the middle of next year i think the minimal measure of success of this conference will be the extent to which all of those key players are willing to rally behind this new u.n. planet for seize a national conference early in the year in libya lowing libyans themselves to decide what sort of democracy they want to see a parliamentary or a presidential system to decide on an.
