a fresh coat of paint families choose colors and designs inspired by the traditional hand-woven clothing worn by local women then they help to paint their own homes. because the house is going to end up looking really notice the result will be good and it makes a landscape here look it's a big change from before and i hope more neighbors paint their houses. local women have led the cut that since it launched two years ago they helped develop the color palettes and designs and administer the project. coordinator lydia coom is says women have another key skill that's allowed the program to thrive and. i think that when women make decisions they seek consensus with this breed he helped us during the start of the project and that helps us keep the support of the community the weaving tradition is strong and center got that the patterns and

colors of textiles are inspired by nature. she says women express their imagination through weaving and they are now able to share their talents on a different scale but. for me it's special to see our designs on the walls of town and to say this beautiful and take photographs to remember it it makes me happy to see a traditional embroidery scene this. is attracting more tourists for visitors who've been here before the transformation is clear. not so many activities. like. industries and everything. feels like much more respected. than the fact that that is the first project with kind in guatemala organizers say that once they complete the painting of the eight hundred fifty buildings in this town they plan to fix.

i'm richelle carey this is. also coming up our presence was not open ended and was never intended to be permanent as president defends his decision to withdraw forces from syria as he meets troops in iraq. and the alert level for the. tsunami triggered by on saturday killed four hundred thirty people. give me your weapons. bring cash for arms well let's solve the problem of gun violence. i begin with breaking news from the democratic republic of congo and the police have moved against protesters angry more delays to the presidential election and they disperse crowds and binny in to opposition strongholds there were also demonstrations in goma but commission blames the delay on ongoing violence and an

ebola outbreak our correspondent catherine story joins us on the line now from kinshasa catherine what do we know about what it is that police and security have have done to it protesters. well the situation we've been called a shell is very tense in these areas that you've just mentioned the. police used tear gas to disperse protesters in goma this is a copy told in the east one of the most populous areas in this country so they came to the streets protest against the suspicion by many the electoral commission police use tear gas to disperse them now we're being told that their leaders are currently in a meeting just trying to regroup to reorganize the thing that will not stop protesting the will continue protesting going forward until the electoral commission we think that the decision that it made in beni again police used tear gas and we're also told they used live. shots in the air to discuss protesters

there who had the tires and to bulldoze on the road so many of the roads in binny town are actually blocked in good temple there was some protests last evening but we're told it's quiet now in the two towns that i told you about the temple and many people how many people have stayed away. because of the protesters had called a strike people stay home ghost the place the people have stayed away shops the clue people are not coming to work everything is a standstill the police become interested in cold in many protests to try to get. a top. center that has been set up by amateur but they were persuaded again by their leaders for the situation as i mentioned are still very very concentrated so is there any indication that the electoral commission is actually going to be responsive to what they're saying they're upset this election has been delayed in

certain areas. well the electoral commission was very clear in their statement yesterday and will press conference be held. accountable for that statement issued and they did say that there is no way they can have an election in these places because of the outbreak as well as insecurity in you may be last week there was some clashes where people were killed to find a doctor but what many people in the opposition and what many of which is when in those areas i was asked will you let the complaints continue we let the complaint go along in this. area as to what has changed now you probably said there's going to be election a lot of people there one point two million voters we're talking about feel disenfranchised and they say they will continue protesting and few they put back on the water they're all they're also saying look you're telling us to wait until

march for an election yet you're saying you're going to announce the presidential results in january and the president is going to be sworn in generally so what's the point of having an election in this area as in in march we're waiting for press conference from a presidential candidate mocking you that is the stronghold group three towns are useful mode and it is under a lot of pressure to make a very strong statement even a lot of pressure. from the election but that is going to be problematic because the opposition is also somewhat another major presidential candidate colleagues just e.k.g. and he's qualified have to they're going to go on with the vote regardless all right catherine so i want for us on the line can toss a bank you. u.s. troops in iraq and germany have had surprise visits from donald trump yes president

stop at ramstein air base and germany follows growing criticism of his failure to this entranced deflator for scenes from state for just three hours in iraq thanking soldiers and defending his decision to withdraw troops from syria proper and also parts of washington d.c. . resident donald trump got a warm welcome from u.s. troops during his brief visit to iraq. we came to al assad to share our eternal gratitude for everything you do to keep america safe strong and free. accompanied by first lady maloney a trump the president shook hands with service members at an air base one hundred sixty kilometers from baghdad he posed for selfies and signed autographs including one on a make america great again campaign camp he bragged about the defeat of eisel on his watch two years ago when i became president there were

a very dominant group they were very dominant today they're not so dominant anymore . the visit came amid continuing fallout from trump's abrupt decision to pull out all u.s. forces from syria our presence in syria was not open ended and was never intended to be permanent trump said the withdrawal from syria would be strong deliberate and orderly he also met with military commanders i think it's an opportunity for him to explain to his generals on the ground and the troops on the ground what the syria withdrawal means and most importantly hear from those generals how they plan to execute that withdrawal trump said the u.s. has no plans at all to pull out of iraq. a day earlier during a phone call with the commander of the air base in qatar trump asked about the ongoing blockade of qatar by saudi arabia and the u.a.e.

together with egypt and bahrain so how are they doing it cutter how are they doing getting together with saudi arabia and u.a.e. you know we don't track in a certainly the political followings of saudi arabian u.a.e. with regards to cutter but i will tell you they're fantastic kind of says this is trumps first visit to u.s. troops in a conflict zone during his twenty three months in office the visit is likely to quell critics who say he should have followed the example of his predecessors presidents bush and obama who visited troops in harm's way earlier in their terms rob reynolds al-jazeera washington amman conjoint us live now from baghdad emraan to iraqi officials have any more clarity on what donald trump's policy is in the region. that seems to be a lot of confusion hey richelle there was supposed to be

a meeting between the iraqi prime minister and president don't trump but they couldn't agree on what they called the parameters of that meeting the iraqis are very concerned about the u.s. with rule from syria that means that they have to shore up the borders of already said that they're very worried about pockets of flights is being able to regroup within syria itself and to be able to mount attacks across the border in iraq that's a get there also pockets of all supplies has in the country side on the border with syria and iraq has its own problems but much bigger than that the iraqis are actually debating right now whether it's the osce the u.s. to extend that mission or whether it's off the u.s. to draw down and by giving this blistering statement saying that we're not leaving iraq many politicians are wondering whether what sort of strategy story the u.s. president has a lot of confusion is in iraq over what the president seems to be doing so if if

the president does want to stay in iraq right does that mean is that indicate that he could still do something in syria as well if he wanted to. well the bases in iraq that the u.s. have have been used as forward operating bases operations in syria they all key supply lines here there's a command and control system here but don't forget the u.s. troops in iraq. not deployed below brigade level it was the iraqi was themselves they were actually doing the fighting there were special forces operations this slightly different to the u.s. troops those special forces were embedded with iraqi troops and they were calling in airstrikes during the fight against eisel but he's really talking about the five thousand two hundred troops in iraq in a training capacity an advisory capacity so yes you know it's your question technically speaking you could use a rock as a forward operating base for operations within syria but you need

a very clear strategy to do that and you need to ask the rockies whether that's something the iraqis will want the u.s. to do and that seemingly has an ok rank on live for us in baghdad emraan thank you the no go zone near an erupting volcano in indonesia has and widened and the alert level raised experts fear another massive eruption will cause a second tsunami at least four hundred thirty people were killed in a five meter highway flooded coastal communities on saturday reports. a new exclusion zone around the volcano means no one is allowed to approach within five kilometers but the greater concern is for the people living along the coasts on either side of the sunda strait. they've again been warned to stay back between five hundred meters and one kilometer from the shoreline while commercial planes have been ordered to avoid the area all kind of cash is a mix euro and gas and it's classic rock programs and minerals and volcanic glass

and it's very very scratchy or it can et so the dangers of that going up into the atmosphere so planes if there is a large rips in the ash goes hina the planes are flying back not just to be a hazard for airlines the increased warning level comes as a blow to the thousands of people displaced by the tsunami of wanting to return home many seeking shelter on higher ground where even a few metres above sea level officer greater sense of security. schools and community centers in the town of level one have been turned into makeshift homes giving a feeling of semipermanent. most of these people rely upon the sea for their livelihoods by god and. they're mostly fishermen they can go to sea because their boats are gone so they can make a living. and many don't know if the houses they fled from are still standing we have.
