a chip it's a full device where you can different lights different. different functions suetonius a very technical at society and i think this is the main explanation really why a lot of swedes are adopting chip implants swedes haven't been shy about upgrading themselves with the new version thousands already have a microchip implants that they use in their daily lives waving their hand to gain entrance to the gym confirm their id or make payments a short moment of pain not putting them off becoming part sweet part machine. this event is an implant party simply where people can show up and get a microchip embedded under their skin the biohacking movement in sweden is hosting them all over europe but it's at home where they get the most willing recipients i think it's really cool you know how to carry to use really just a body maybe ten years everything will be new. in sweden more than anywhere else

the future is already here the national train company s.c.a. has around two thousand six hundred people signed up to use microchips instead of train tickets. and no need to mind the generation gap eighteen year old phyllis and father magnus still bear the scars of the new implants. student how her having is also freshly chipped and now just needs to program it to open doors allow importantly for a future career it does already connect to her linked in some people. but people have been putting these tips to animals for twenty years so i'm not worried about. the long term goal is for the new chips to help provide medical care in remote communities that are already getting under the skin of the swedes there

john jr who's live for us and vista in brazil that's near the border with venezuela do we know any more about the situation regarding this aid that's heading towards the border. rob what we know is that this is zero hour this is when the border on the venezuelan side is supposed to close according to president nicolas maduro now we did finally get some reaction in the last hour and a half from brazil's government with regard to this issue the presidential spokesperson addressed assembled media at a press conference in brasilia and he told him that it was the government's decision to continue with the plan to try and distribute aid to venezuela starting saturday february twenty third he said that aid which would be comprised of foodstuffs and medicines would be placed on brazil's border with venezuela in

the town of pocket i'm of that's about two and a half hours north of us directly on brazil's border with israel in fact it's the main entry point for most of the venezuelan migrants and refugees that cross from venezuela into brazil so the presidential spokesperson said the plan will will go ahead as they had announced initially about forty eight hours ago that this plan was at the request of venezuela an opposition leader why go and that it would be the opposition leaders parag active to provide vehicles to cross from venezuela into brazil pick up that aid that will be on the border and then take it back into venezuela of course that all sounds remarkably easy considering how tense things are getting right now if the border has indeed been closed then that leads one to wonder how exactly a venezuelan convoy is going to be able to enter prison into brazil at least through official channels we should remind our viewers that even though there is

that official border crossing which has been closed on the venezuelan side at times in the past it is a rather porous border between brazil and venezuela so perhaps there are plans afoot for a venezuelan convoy to cross into brazil another way we don't. yet know what this point we will continue to check with the brazilian government and get you those updates as we have them rob as you were talking about of course that convoy is making its way from brazil within venezuela towards the border do we have any indication how they may do it a government is reacting to all of this at the moment and if it's likely to take any action against the convoy if it manages to get that aid i would say that's the question of the hour rob we just don't know what exactly is going to transpire when it comes to the venezuelan president and this convoy fact of the matter is there were indications already that president maduro might try to close the border the venezuelan border to brazil that all being said brazil says

they plan to keep this to keep this going to have this happen starting in february twenty third now there are local media reports here that we're seeing the last couple of hours that would suggest that the aid will start being placed on the border tomorrow that a brazilian convoy members of the military might be transporting these boxes of aid we don't yet know how much from bovis that which is the capital here of northern what i'm a state and take that to pocket i'm a and place it there until they can figure out if this venezuelan convoy is going to get here fact of the matter is though many more questions than answers at this point and we will continue to check and see if we can find out more from brazilian officials and get those details to you as soon as we have ramaj i'm jim thank you very much indeed. the white house says

a small group of u.s. troops will remain in syria after the rest of the american forces withdraw donald trump announced the pullout in december surprising allies both in the west and on the ground u.s. troops have been training supplying and advise in the kurdish dominated city and democratic forces in the fight against elizondo is joining me now live from washington d.c. given i understand that this is being part of a conversation between donald trump and the turkish president of egypt and do we know any more about what was discussed. yeah it was a phone conversation they've been talking for a while now since you mentioned spent over eight weeks since donald trump made that surprise announcement about pulling out two thousand u.s. troops from syria this conversation they had over the phone on thursday we're told by the white house from a readout that both presidents agreed that the pullout of u.s. troops should not damage any mutual goals of and or washington and then we later

heard from white house spokesperson that said a small number of peacekeeping soldiers about two hundred u.s. soldiers will remain in syria for a period of time now that brings up two questions what exactly is this quote unquote peacekeeping force that the white house is mentioning here what will be the make up of that and what will that all entail but then also they said it will stay in syria for a period of time but we don't know what period of time that is one month six months a year who knows is it open ended so still a lot of questions there now that the key point of all of this is really the safe zone they were talking about air to want of once a safe zone in the part of northern syria here cleared of kurdish militia because everyone in the turkish government considers these kurdish militia to be terrorist groups however trump is trying to negotiate his ministration trying to negotiate have some sort of protection for those militia because they were key

allies of the u.s. in the fight against isis so this is really the key point that they've really been negotiating here and clearly we're starting get a better idea that the u.s. now committed to at least two hundred of their soldiers remaining in this area or to zoom plea in this quote unquote safe zone for some forseeable future. zone a lot for us in washington d.c. thank you very much. the iraqi military is on high alert for fleeing eisold fighters it's concerning the members could try to regroup in areas once controlled by eye so in north and west iraq charles trafford has more from mosul. iraq he forces far mortars at eisel targets across the syrian border the village above guus the last eisel controlled territory in syria isn't far from here the mainly kurdish u.s. backed syrian democratic forces or s.d.f.
