the station that they left behind is behind is, is remarkable. white tiger looks quite. there are 6 and the white fries origin in the neighboring provinces or move up and i then, so in, i didn't. yesterday, the huge matthew fire broke out there and that is still continuing despite the afford to cool them down. the fires are dangerously getting closer and closer to the residential areas, particularly in the district of a chin and people have been created there. but the weather conditions are not that much friendly. the strong greens particularly are, are given momentum to the, to the, the fire of the helicopter, than the fire fighting place, or cherry and water, probably putting them on the wooden piece and the, the areas close to the residential areas. but so far, the dungeon is still far from over,

where we stand here now in front of the power plant in the, in the middle us district court move. there is the danger. the power plant right behind us yesterday came under the track the 5 years for the 1st time got inside the power plant that will toward it is how empty there. hi, there isn't tank, feel them we did what the critic ocean they ever created the stuff. and now the cooling process is still still in may. can helicopters on probably carrying the waters and started trying to cool down the surroundings. but as i said, the changing with anytime can carry the fires in to the power plant. again, the fire fight, there's are working tirelessly days and nights. however, the, the weather conditions are not from the people here are protesting the toilet is not doing enough. as i said in this fight against the wildfires,

syrians who have followed the country due to the war. i know here when they came out there at bridges, but now they are playing an important role in the fight against the fire syrians, no tragedy, all too well more than 3000000 people. how full of war and destruction find the shelter here in turkey. and now, as turkey faces some of the worst white wires in its history, some of those refugees have warrant here to help fight the blazes. the syrian rescue team includes arabs kurtz, turn, men, answer captions. they come from cities across the country. or generally trained to have other refugees and the way the relief work along the turret to sit in board there they have joined a wouldn't tears from all over the world to support more than 6000 personnel fighting the fires that have the course sell to turkey. for the past 11 days,

the 30 wouldn't you say turkey has been a safe haven for them and they wanted to return the jester volunteer the city that had come in syria when they were helicopters above us. we would be very frightened because they were dropped bombs on us, but here these helicopters are to save the nature and people. we are very happy that we have the chance now to hear people's wounds who have opened the door for us when we needed. the syrian rescue team are joined by villagers from a job where the flames are approaching dangerously close before the fire and several provinces since more than a week. we are now here to stop the blazes. again. we're here to support our turkish colleagues, and i believe that we'll get through this and everything will be all right soon. the other members of the team are spread across the provinces of dana, more untidy, which has been the worst hit fires across south and turkey. how so far killed

people and forced houses of others out of their home menu of which are no longer standing. and the searing wouldn't tiers are doing what they can do to help survivors knowing how it feels to have nowhere to go. christmas out of that, i'll just euro item has bullet, leader on the throttle has warned. the live in a group will retaliate against any future strikes by israel. whose comments follow an exchange of fire between his blood and the israeli army? the states, as drugs were the 1st time getting lebanese villages since 2006 us men had hit yesterday's operation, was not in response to the killing about 2 members. we are not seeking a war, but we are ready for it. and we do not fear it. yesterday's operation was aimed at consolidating the equation of deterrents chose to carry out the operation during the day in order not to scare the lebanese residence. and our response yesterday was directly linked to the israeli as strikes and its object. it was clear,

it was necessary for the response to be israeli. strike to be quick, or else i would have lost its value. i will not. israel you prime minister in the family. bennett, responded to his below and it's becca iran during a captain. beacon hello, he says lucky ron should understand that they cannot continue raging without paying a price. it is less important to us whether it is a palestinian organization shooting or independent rebels. the state of israel will not accept firing into its territory in the lebanese sector. there is a very important awakening of many citizens in the country against his villa and reigning involvement in the country. which in the severe economic and political crisis there around in his blood, also complicate them on the front with israel or the bel, how me to live for us now in western them with the latest to hold. it is a test of thoughts for the new israeli prime minister. will people be watching carefully how he responds?

yes, absolutely, definitely a test also, because i think that the military and political leadership in israel was taking a bit by surprise about how detention had risen along that border with lebanon. now, it was not the 1st time that you had rocket launch from lebanon. they've been at least 6 times since the guy that was in may. i think what the government was taken by surprise is that actually has, well, i had read the gated even though it landed in, in and she lands and most of the rocket barrage was intercepted by the iron dome defense system is trying to show that it's, it's a watching very closely developments along that border. it also wants to use some very tough language, a prime minister of tele bennett. also saying that the lebanese government and

deliver needs army bear, full responsibility of whatever is learned from the albany territory towards israel . regardless of who is behind that attack, whether it's a palestinian faction, whether it's his below, they say israel is now saying that lebanon would bear full responsibility for that . i mean, i think you have to look at the bigger picture here. you have a new prime minister in israel, who is the testing the waters who still finding his bearings and then you have a new leadership in iran. and i think we'll see a lot of posturing going on as the as the days the coming days unfold at the adult, meet there in western one month after the assassination of the haitian president juvenile movies. investigators have arrested several suspects while the new prime minister has called for new elections. but there are still many unanswered questions surrounding the killing. in this daniel shawanda reports

power brokers. they have admitted plotting to remove president ways from office all say killing him was never their intention. that miss young will not take the life of the present in all country. those connected with this barbaric practice miss pay for their action. the stone re as cause of fresh election the soon as conditions allow wherever those conditions will difficult before the presidents murder, remain volatile moon keen, no hope was this, you know, many people from the opposition and the stinking bourgeois z joined together to betray the president. it's the national and international conspiracy against the haitian people. i ask that all guns mobilize take to the streets. it took me more groups campaigning for peaceful change in haiti, civil store, which is a persecuting them for their views. we don't believe in this investigation. this is a political persecution. those who are directly involved in killing the president

should be prosecuted when others say haiti's problems are more deep, rooted and blame. the small elite is long run the poorest country in the region. it's true, we have poverty, it's true or not organized, it's true. nothing works as it should. but look for the reasons why nothing works now because that search certain people who want to keep most haitians with it's really time to change haiti as requested. united nations help with the investigation along with what they already receiving from the united states. because one month on there, not much closer to confirming who was behind the killing of president coven invoice, or the reasons why daniel shrine la out to 0. hey sions. are among about 10000 refugees and migrants has been stuck in the coast to columbia town of nick oakley. i've been waiting for both to take them to the panama border, where they hope to keep heading north. teresa bowman,
