there we've got some fairly heavy rain over parts of north america at the moment you can see it on the satellite picture this area of cloud is snaking its way northward that could give us some severe storms as well as it sweeps its way eastwards eventually it will move away as we head through the day and choose day still giving some heavy snow there for the eastern parts of canada but the wetter weather for the south has left the coast very maro behind it though new york they're up at fifteen degrees that's fifty nine in fahrenheit we should be around six this time of year which is forty three doesn't change there was we head into wednesday the temperatures really drop off so maximum this time just for towards the west finally settle for most of us here seattle day getting to around seven degrees have a san francisco will be hovering at around twelve even further towards the south and there's plenty of sunshine for many of us here just a couple of showers that are brought in on the winds there along that coastline but elsewhere looks mostly fine and dry there's wetter weather

a bit further towards the south for some of us across brazil the showers are looking rather lively at the moment stretching all the way down towards rio and then for the south this area of rain over parts of argentina is looking particularly wet as we had three cheese day and into wednesday so very heavy downpours here the temperatures still making it to twenty seven there. news is happening faster than ever before from different places from different people and you need to be part of that you need to be able to reach people wherever they are and that means being across all social media platforms this is where all of the ins lives as well as in front of a t.v. there on the smartphone there on the tablet there on the fusion. and that's the way al-jazeera is of all the true media network.

well again you want a reminder of the top stories this hour north korean leader kim jong un has rung in the new year with an offer of more talks with u.s. president donald trump but he wound up killing young may seek a new car phone demilitarization if washington is to use action against north korea . both sides in yemen's war being accused of siphoning food a. few days and see threaten to suspend shipments unless he's rein in corruption and the press the documents suggesting russia is entirely his have been seized by units working with saudi. forces. bangladesh's prime minister has

rejected calls for a new vote off to be declared the winner in sunday's election the opposition has called for you but accusing the government of widespread rigging. the u.s. democratic senator elizabeth warren has taken one important step towards entering the twenty twenty presidential race she's forming an exploratory committee to raise money before formally launching a presidential bid war and has been one of president donald trump fits his critics as she's released a video promising to protect the middle class against the excesses of wall street the thing that's likely to feature prominently in her campaign. america's middle class is under attack how do we get here billionaires and big corporations decided they wanted more of the time and they enlisted politicians to battle spines the crippled union so know when to stop we're going to turn the loose dismantle the financial rules meant to keep us safe after the great depression and cut their taxes so they paid less than their secretaries in janitors it's time to write the

rules for the middle class after wall street crashed our economy in two thousand a rough the classroom took out of washington and comes from the broken system head on we're going to not from your castro has more from washington d.c. . some analysts put elizabeth warren just to the left of hillary clinton on this political spectrum now warren has been in congress for just six years and in that relatively short period of time she has made a national reputation for herself as an ardent critics and reformer of wall street that is a position very popular with the left liberal base and in her announcement video you saw that highlighted as well as other other issues important to liberals including minority rights and gay marriage now the fact that warren was the first major democrat to announce that she's taking this preliminary step to running may

be a political calculation many others will follow in the spring and this is a suspected to be a wide field of candidates as many as thirty potential democrats who would like to take this on they include a wave of fresh new faces that were ushered into prominence by the midterm elections as well as more veterans politically including former vice president joe biden as well as senator bernie sanders both of whom have the added experience of having run for president in the past so warren would need to convince democrats that she deserves to be the new face of this currently leaderless party as well as sell the all important message of being able to defeat donald trump in the general election on that front she has already shown some weakness trump has often called her using the slur pocahontas to deride her claims of having native american ancestry and warren's critics and supporters alike have panned warren's decision to

take a d.n.a. test and released those results to the public saying she was simply taking trump's bait so in order to overcome that many are saying she would need to be more politically deft going forward. well peter matthews is a professor of political science at cypress college and he says elizabeth warren is well known for her political stunts among the other potential democratic candidates but she does have a base because she's been well known to be a champion of people against big banks and she ran on those issues in massachusetts and since then she's been speaking clearly about that being on the senate banking committee so she does have some visibility probably the third most of as a bill person after sanders and biden other than that there's a whole field of people behind her better o'rorke there is a harris there are so many people behind with only five percent of the supporter or being not known not well by people but they're going to be getting to be known and we'll have to see what those counties with smaller amount of support can do to chip

away because it'll be a crowded field and the can is for the single largest number of votes and most primaries will win either the proportional delegates in most states and some states will take it all as well so it just takes a lot of organization and she does have some name recognition but not as well as strong in the organizational part across the country without a wait and see how that works out to be very exciting actually for democrats. to mexico where some two thousand central american asylum seekers are still waiting until in the hope of making it across the border to the united states from forced family separations to a partial government shutdown the immigration debate has defined president donald trump's agenda in two thousand and eighteen. as more now from two one. this is an average day and in fact that one of the one is busiest migrant shelters there's a clothing drive a medical tent and free haircuts for anyone and i was not afraid of them and what the scene we have a population of one thousand four hundred people although that census changes every

day as many people are leaving some of normalize their immigration status in mexico or have found jobs and have moved to other mexican citizens others continue to look towards finding alternative ways of crossing the border there are also some who have requested assistance in returning to their home countries voluntarily most of the people here are from own do to us and in and are seeking asylum in the united states many have been assigned a number and are waiting for their turn to speak with authorities at the border i mean. it's good to stay calm and wait and think about our options. and he and his family have been in t one for more than a month now after traveling across quite a mile and mexico with thousands of other central american migrants he says of the u.s. won't let him in he plans to stay in mexico. but i know if there's an opportunity to enter the united states i will enter and i will look for work because the truth is my family needs the money to make

a better life for ourselves we really are we need but if we can attend to that's ok too i want to honor is an excellent place to live. two thousand and eighteen has come to an end and many people here say they weren't expecting to be waiting this long at the border they want to is hosting somewhere around five thousand central american migrants that began arriving in november the mexican government along with u.n. agencies and local donors have set up tent communities all around the city but many people here tell us they're tired of waiting and have chosen to cross over to the united states illegally. also from hundreds sell cigarettes at the shelter he says he plans to join dozens of others in the coming days and jump the border fence a moment on the payroll i don't have a number i didn't ask for one i'm waiting i've been waiting a long time what i want is to cross let it be god's will my dream is to find work and provide for my family crossing into the u.s.

illegally carries its own risks a few days ago when migrant drowned trying to swim around the border wall his body was found the next day by authorities in california for those who choose to stay in the new year only promises more uncertainties and no guarantees that their long wait will end in the united states monopoly on disease or do you want to. britain is stepping up its patrols of the english channel amid a recent surge in the number of migrants making the crossing from france twelve people including a child with the latest arrivals they were detained on a beach in kent on the east coast in the democratic republic of congo's several candidates claiming they're in the lead in sunday's presidential election counting continues after the ballot which was hampered by delays complains of vote rigging and violence the internet's also been cuts in an apparent effort to stop speculation about the results twenty one counted it's a vying for the top office including the opposition's margin for you. i lurve would remark because our view as i speak to you more than

a third of the ballots have been counted nationally and the trends are unquestionable that they put a coalition candidate martin fail mcgeady far in the lead us hopes are fading for fifteen teenagers trapped for almost three weeks in an illegal coal mine in northeastern india the families are holding vigil as the rescue operation continues in the state of make aliya the miners became trapped by floodwater on december thirteenth thousands of workers including children have been killed in similar mines across the state. chancellor merkel says germany will keep pushing for global solutions to challenges like climate change and migration in two thousand and nineteen in her new year's address she also referenced her party's recent political muscles. leave him a thought of an obit dear fellow citizens a year with ups and downs lies behind us with happy and sad moments each of us will associate it with something very personal tonight i'm thinking in particular of the

extremely difficult political year that is coming to an end today. from texas democracy lives from change and we're all subject to the times we build on what our previous us has left us and shaped things in the present for those who come after us my conviction guides me in this i will only master the challenges of our time if we stand united together with others across borders well let's hear now from dominic cain who reports from berlin as she contemplates a fifteenth callen the office angle americal is in ponderous mood in her address to fellow german citizens she reflects on the year that was twenty eighteen a year which was some might say politically bruising perhaps even factoring for where her party suffered electorally in several states where she herself found herself in a situation where her government might have been toppled in a rout with people with a party that was once

a staunch ally the christian social union has also made reference to the fact that democracy is something that needs to be worked on but in germany people should try to come together the tolerance should be the watchword for twenty nineteen also a reference to the future generations she says that the politicians of today merely are guardians as it were for the future she talked about the generation to follow on in some senses that's clear for her party and a. lady who is than the new christian democrat leader well she's already more popular than anglo-american so the question for twenty nineteen will be how long does want to stay in the building behind me the federal chancellery perhaps we'll get an answer to that question in twenty nineteen. police in japan's comparable tokyo have launched a terrorism investigation after a car was driven into a crowd celebrating new year at least eight people were injured in the incidents
