back. the board of police and thailand say the fighting, broke out at dawn as it has done to the last 2 days. now, the time military have returned fire on a number of occasions. just warning shots they say, some munitions have fallen on the ty side. this farmer, pointing out damage from shrapnel of the several motors fell in his fields. those wounded in the crossfire come across to thailand, treatment as have thousands of refugees, a number that's growing every day. in common in the last 2 or 3 days, there have been serious clashes with plains attacking villages. and there been several wounded people crossing over the border to get treatment. but thailand is not keen to encourage people to cross. this is one of the places where people have been coming across, but the tie army have put res was all across the top of the bank of the river. but for the moment they're pretty happy to stay over. they're ready to come across the border. the fighting gets any closer. children play on the river bank as the

show him promises more merkel style stability, but with an accent on social justice. his offer of respect for the working class, one vote is back from the populist extremes. his vision to turn germany into a manufacturing power for the carbon neutral age. there is not just a change in style and communication, but this is going to be a domestic transformation. monumental task that they have set out for themselves. but in terms of foreign policy, it's not going to be simply an inward looking government. because the world situation doesn't allow for that for a country in the middle of europe with no country has more neighbors as in this. and so there's going to be a global agenda and there is more of a human rights based approach to foreign policy. so 2021 ends with change here in

germany. the ascent of the social democrats signaling the possible revival of the left across europe. while in france 2022 brings in the election in which president emanuel micron is hoping things stay more or less the same. for him, at least a few months ago. the deal to be done, michael was going to face matthew le pen the far right candidate in the 2nd round. and he would say it was going to be the winner. as in 2017. now it's far more complicated because the far right is split between 2 candidates. and the 3rd candidate has emerged. the right wing, traditional right wing, valero, because, and so the game is far more open. that it seems that the axis of french politics has moved to the right dominated by issues like immigration and to succeed. my crone will have to move with it. but like previous power, couples with political differences. think coal meter, all she rec, schroeder,

federal court house behind me in lower manhattan. only the jurors that are in that room. this is the 3rd full day of deliberation surgeries, do have rated in total. about 21 hours now at a very long time. and so on monday. busy they signaled to the judge did, they do need more time. they asked for transcripts of a couple different people that testified. they also asked the judge to further define what enticement means, in a legal term. several of the charges against elaine maxwell referred to enticement . and they also asked for some sticky notes of different colors, insinuating that they're really going through these charges and trying to hammer out some sort of conclusion here. the bottom line is, this is a difficult case. difficult charges as well, 6 different charges that the jury has to come to some consensus on. but the big one

is this 6th one. that is a sex trafficking of minors which carries up to 40 years in prison, add it all up, and all 6 charges are up to 70 years in prison. but bottom line, though, is delaine maxwell is in a holding cell in this court house behind me. and she is waiting, just like every one else for the jury to reach some sort of verdict. thank you so much. gabriel is on the reporting from new york. south africa is observing a week of national mourning for anti apartheid icon in nobel peace prize. loria desmond to 2. people are paying tribute to the man who rose to prominence in 19 eighties as an opponents. if apartheid during white minority rule, he even won a nobel peace prize for his work. 22 was also the 1st black archbishop of cape town . this is the said moment, but it is also moment of celebration,

the club training grounds. and then start again in 2 weeks time, but unfortunately, money to takes everything in the premier league the regains throughout the christmas period, have the place of fatigue, the contract people failed. so the show must go on. and that means that the unfortunate infections will carry on as well. and there isn't an obvious way out of this crisis at the moment. language football is unique in, in europe, and carried on playing through the christian faith. in fact, is the busiest period of the season. whereas in italy and spain and france, germany, they are on a break and their players are actually on holiday at the moment. so they will have to find some time in the schedules later in the season. and it means a very crowded fixed list in the 2nd half of the season to, to catch up australia to be heading towards a convincing series. when against england, the tourist suffering yet another passing collapse there on the brink of a 3rd strike defeats the sort of fine melbourne had to be delayed with england
