these weapons are going to be collected because they say there is a huge amount of weapons provided to the white p.g. and no one can assure that these weapons have been haven't been taken out of syria to iraq or other places or no one can guarantee that these weapons can be delivered by the white p.g. to russian military forces over there or the syrian regime army forces inside syria of course it is a question mark also for tricky whether united states is totally going to isolate the y. ph in syria in that case the scenario comes up for the turkish officials still consider whether the white preacher is going to align with the syrian regime or a rush hour we know that two kurdish delegations from the syrian democracy a council which is the political wing of the s.d.f. have been to moscow and they have been discussed they discussed about the future of that is the euphrates where turkey and threatens to hold a military operation in order to clean the region from the y. p.g.

torrential rain overnight in this part of java has continued through into it wednesday making the clean up on the recovery effort simply impossible especially in villages like this where many of the houses don't actually have any roofs people need to wait for a rest fight from this weather the roads at the back of this village are flooded in the big concern now is for this main road this is the road that runs all the way along this shattered piece of coastline all the recovery vehicles the rescue vehicles have to use this stretch of road it was already damaged as a result of the tsunami parts of it have been flooded and the hope is that it doesn't flood anymore meanwhile the warning of further tsunamis remains in force and it's will remain so while we're in this high tide period through until tomorrow thursday the concern for volcanologists is they simply don't have

a good idea of what a crack a towel is actually up to at the moment they know it is or erupting but without a visual reference either from the shoreline or from the air it's difficult to know exactly what kind of danger it poses but we know it's there we know it's erupting because between the claps of thunder you hear these sharper cracks of continued eruptions japan has announced it will withdraw from the international whaling commission and resume commercial whaling next chair as a member of the i.w.c. japan hunted whales in the antarctic for what it cools scientific research the government says it will only come to its territorial waters now joins iceland and norway in countries in the world that authorize commercial whaling. a second question modern child seeking a new life in the u.s. has died in government custody u.s. customs and border protection say the eight year old boy died at this new mexico hospital after showing signs of illness some monday it was initially diagnosed with

a cold and fever. this month a seven year old girl also died after being detained by but was very well reynolds has more from washington d.c. . there's still a great deal we do not know about this case we don't know the boy's name and we don't know exactly why he died what the cause of his death was the information that we are getting comes from a u.s. government agency the customs and border protection service which is part of the department of homeland security it said that it is notified the inspector general for the department of homeland security and also notified the government of guatemala but the reaction has been coming in for example a democratic member of congress pramila paul who represents a district in the u.s. state of washington wrote on twitter this is deplorable two children have died

under d h s is that's department of homeland security watch this month what happened to one death too many secretary nielson that's a reference to d.h. as secretary cures genea listens comment following the death of a young guatemalan girl earlier in december saying one death is too many and the american civil liberties union which is a frequent legal flow of the trumpet administration's border policies and immigration procedures tweeted this is a horrific tragedy c.p.b. must be held accountable and stopped from jailing children the a.c.l.u. also called upon the incoming democratic controlled house of representatives to launch an investigation of the department of homeland security as one of its first priorities. president trump says parts of the government will stay shut down until he gets five billion dollars for his wall on the mexico border the president's

demand for the war has been rejected by the democratic party and by members of his own republican party in retaliation the president is refusing to sign a wider spending bill temporarily stripping funding from parts of government i can't tell you where the government is going to be open i can tell you it's not going to be open until we have a wall a fence whatever they like to call it i'll call it whatever they want. but it's all the same thing it's a barrier from people pouring into our company into our country. more now from our correspondent she have returned. on the face of it it was a tough restatement of donald trump's position b. twenty five percent of the federal government that's currently shut down wouldn't reopen until he got the money for his wall however you could interpret his statement as suggesting some wiggle room for negotiation he didn't just call it a wall he said the federal government isn't open he said until we have a wall

a fence whatever they'd like to call it perhaps he thinks there's a way forward in negotiation if he if he relents on the idea of a concrete barrier which he's already been doing in the last few weeks talking about steel slabs artistic steel slots perhaps he thinks there's a way for the last offer we heard from the white house was over the weekend which was not for a concrete barrier which wasn't for five billion dollars so perhaps the white house hopes there is a way forward but from what we're hearing from the democrats that are just as confused as anyone else there was this tweet from chuck schumer who said different people from the same white house are saying different things about what the president would accept or not accept to end just from a shutdown making it impossible to know where they stand at any given moment and some of those reconvene on thursday when they go to continue. to come here is there including opposition groups in the democratic republic of congo have reservations

machines. catherine saw reports. flying around speculation about what might happen in the coming days many people telling us that they're afraid that. again eight presidential candidates held a press conference and. another delay in all this is being made even more difficult by the fact that the electoral commission is not giving regular. exactly is going on in the fact that people here really don't trust that organization at all. electoral commission technicians in. a crisis they have to make sure thousands of electronic voting machines are called from other regions and four million people will walk. through place to have been destroyed by fire in a warehouse. in the city. of the election.

so. we. had to make sure. to use already in regional headquarters across the country. during the rainy season in a country with bad infrastructure. as well as an outbreak will not be. able to give. when the t. of the process is very very low the robot come back hella trains local observers that are to be deployed to the provinces he's already visited many parts of the country as a letter all process to this point has been

a sham i don't. been unable to publish the. fishes in. detail so you might. just a machine meant for those used to manipulate the outcome these are difficult and uncertain times in. people here. they say they're afraid of the election. and. on sunday they're not confident it will be credible we don't trust the process but we must go vote one week is nothing but on election day we will take responsibility we either have a good election they resign or we force them to leave. the only thing we expect. president kabila so we find another solution and i think the electoral commission is just a puppet of the president and he is the real problem the commission is under pressure

to. election and with just a few days to go. we've also seen a very strongly worded christmas message from the catholic. the catholic church an important and influential player. of politics and he's basically said that people here are living in exile in their own country he said that they're being held hostage they are walking in darkness but he's also told his congregation to keep the faith of people who've been talking to us saying it's very difficult to keep the faith under this a constance's with everything that is going on. under immense pressure to make sure that they deliver an election that is. credible so it's really going to be very interesting to see how things play play out in the coming days.
