equation now is getting more and more complicated if we again if we take into account that americans really withdraw from from syria that it adds more uncertainty and unpredictability because that would depend on how kurds would negotiate with moscow and damascus on terms to be incorporated back under the damascus control which can sour potentially sour relations between moscow and on the corrupt. a security forces in egypt say they've killed forty people they're calling terrorists during a gun battle as follows friday's attack on a tourist bus three foreigners and their egyptian guide died in that bomb blast just outside kyra it happened near the pyramids at giza rob matheson has the latest . a burned out shell all the trimmings of a tour bus hit by a roadside bomb near cairo you know what we saw people carry the dead bodies

inside with migrant detention centers and shelters full and opacity immigration officials have not ruled out continuing to dump migrant families on the streets to free up detention space the border is increasingly becoming politicized here in el paso far away from the holes of power of washington d.c. it's migrants and asylum seekers that are becoming pawns in a political game. in a series of tweets on friday president donald trump threaten to close the entire border with mexico if congress doesn't give him the five billion dollars he wants to build a border wall trump has framed the immigration debate in america as a crisis being caused by too many migrants from central america trying to come to the u.s. something local activists in el paso reject christ is that the breath in this is creating to feed to his base and to do to build this ridiculous wall which is not

going to help in anything but by the same time he's promoting the communalisation of immigrants incarceration of children and in mistreatment of full thrifty youth like the ones that we're seeing being released in downtown. there are also signs of more detentions this giant tent city detention center about an hour outside of paso was built over the summer to house migrant teenage children it was supposed to close on the last. day of the year but officials announced this week it will remain open it houses two thousand three hundred migrant teenagers. for those just arriving and hoping for a better life but finding their welcome to america not what they expected gabriels on dough. el paso texas and more on the government shutdown now from she habitats in washington so what's happening with that. nothing so as we can tell as far as we can tell there haven't been any stands of

negotiations with several days now told from did just tweet he said i'm in the white house waiting for the democrats to come out over and make a deal on border security but as far as we can tell the democratic leadership isn't even in washington right now congress does reconvene on wednesday briefly in the afternoon before the new session begins on thursday that's when nancy pelosi takes over the speakership of the house the democrats become in charge that of the house of representatives best thinking that she might then try and push through some sort of continuing resolution to fund the government to at least february kind of what we saw before the before the shutdown but it all going to go to the senate for a revote but it all depends on whether the old trunk will actually sign the bill from what we can tell the white house has relented on quite a few of its demands the last offer that the white house gave democrats was two and a half billion dollars for border security not including a concrete wall but certainly some sort of barrier of some kind which perhaps the

democrats can accept they have in the past prepared money for fencing and so on but it is very difficult to tell that the white house keeps saying it's in it for the long haul we should expect a prolonged prolonged shutdown but given the problems in with the economy the stock market and so on the. have been in by the shutdown and into the real problems for government workers we will have to see whether some sort of thing can be called together democrats have gone as far as one point six billion dollars in the past perhaps there's some compromise to be made. she have a chance to live in washington thank you our security forces in bangladesh are on high alert a day before a general election the campaign ended with more arrests and violence with the main opposition party saying thousands of its activists have been detained since november charles strafford reports from dhaka. muhammad. has been the manager of this restaurant in the pan with this she capital dhaka for
