8:04 pm
lack ink, black ink, and that's what caused the tragedy. they also say that the government should do enough in order to put in place at safety measures to protect gatherings in such occasions. but on the other hand, local authorities here say that it's reckless behavior that the say good, that the, the, the flame that the fireworks is, the zip codes of that 5 that slipped over the whole building. and it, that the ceiling fan of over the attendees. and that was also excessive, baited the situation, not giving them any chance to to escape in other world news, an american soldier who would cost him to north korea is back in us custody. after being expelled into china, 23 year old travis king ran across the border from south korea in july, while on a guided tour. he said to confess to legally entering north korea and north korean
8:05 pm
st. media said, can claim the costs over because of quote in humane to mile treatment and racial discrimination in the us army, let's get the latest my white house correspondent, kimberly how it gets. so kimberly, what more do we know about his whereabouts? so as yeah, well, according to the pentagon, he is now in us custody. he has left chinese air space and is now headed to the united states. we expect that he will be landing at a u. s. military base, and that is where he will be checked over. he will be observed to make sure that he is in good health. but what we understand is that he is in good physical health, from 1st observations, according to the us military that received him. now, according to the national security advisor, jake sullivan, this release of occurred as a result of serious diplomatic efforts on the part of sweden. so the white house is
8:06 pm
faking the country. is sweden for those efforts, as well as china, who allowed for the receiving of the private travis king as a result of those efforts. of course the united states does not have any diplomatic relations with the dpr k. and so as a result, it was necessary to have these nations working in order to receive the private of the us army. now what we know is, but as you pointed out, there were concerns the racial mistreatment, and that is why he dashed away from a tour roof. we understand he also, we understand was a beating some charges in the military to the way i understand assault as well. as kicking a police car, what we know is that is going to be pushed sort of set aside right now. what they want to do is just really be briefed him and understand what occurred while he was in custody in north korea. so this is really going to take priority,
8:07 pm
but at the bottom line and the perspective of the united states is that he really was deemed to be not worthy as in terms of a propaganda tool. and that's why he was released. thank you for the update. kimberly, kimberly hawk it is on whitehouse course contents. the french and basset are to each year has landed back in france a month after the military government ordered the amount each as president mohammed by whom was over thrown in a co in july. the new re who was ended military corporation with france and ordered his troops and basset, or to leave natasha. butler has more on the french reaction from paris for 2 weeks ago. the fridge. preston's emmanuel, my caroll had said that for all this is on boss of the, in the, i'm a see you today was living as a virtual hostage in the, the embassy in the capital in the jet. because he didn't have any freedom of movement. and also even freed supplies were running low. so clearly it was a situation that is become untenable. and earlier this week,
8:08 pm
micro all confirmed that the bus so would be full. the house is niga and also the, the phones flowed since 1500 troops from the country. nevertheless, this is a real blow to paris to the government. and to my call, because over the past few weeks, they have said to gain an a game that they do not consider a new jersey military rulers as a legitimate ssl, socrates, that they would not file to the modest of withdrawal french troops. so the french, i'm passed up a community which we have is a situation in which they have had to do both. and we've seen similar situations in all the countries in africa where falls has had colonial ties with has been crews, with problems as being forced to change his position. latasha butler, also sarah power. and i'll just there, as i do, i've devised that caused the reaction from these as capital yami. the multiplan, my dentist should ask that you at the military council on both youth and civil
8:09 pm
organizations that supported considered the french president's decision to withdraw some basset or enforces from new share. a victory counsel has repeatedly called for the withdrawal during the past 2 months. the youth and civil organizations think more crimes decision will eventually help resolve differences between the june to and leaders of the economic community of west african state. as they believe france put eco las under pressure. and they said the need your crew leaders will be able to negotiate a transitional period with act last. yeah, that will not exceed 3 years. yeah. and then one of our friends is relations with nisha deteriorate. the united states maintains a presence there, about 1100 us military personnel are stationed in the country. they've been working with me, sherry and troops account to on groups in the region. last month, washington sent a new and baffled as to new share. the state department says catherine fitz given has been sent to bolster efforts to resolve the political crisis. us acting deputy
8:10 pm
secretary of state victoria noon and also visited yummy last month to try and find a diplomatic solution to the cool. early i spoke to be so williams, a former us ambassador tunisia, and she says she believes washington is, is best to remain engaged. i believe that really washington is trying to send 2 messages. the, the outside message, this politics is that they, they support a constitutional government. they supported by seamless president. they wanted a return to the constitutional order. at the same time it's actually off to instead he just made a speech recently made a speech and canyon has made another one in a goal. and apparently today, where he has stressed that the united states mission will remain to try to reinforce the parts of democracy and the importance of being the idea that military serve the people. they're there to protect the people and to do the people's well
8:11 pm
as opposed to their own. well, uh yet in the chair there is um, an important uh, security relationship. so there will be aspects of that, but i think the united states is going to try to maintain what is ultimately the the end game for washington. cuz american choose certainly weren't subjected to the same treatment as a friendships. why is the us designing team gauge with a june that over to a democratically elected leader, even dispatching an invoice me? i'm a and not calling this a cool. what is the us as interest here? it is. united states has no option now, then to call what happened to crew. and i think they're going to do that. when that restriction, when that name goes through. and then there will have to be a reduction of the kinds of cooperation the united states has with, with new share, there will be caveats. they'll probably hold a small cap out for certain kinds of military cooperation. but not the full extent

8:24 pm
these refugees, migrants illegally being built into this country has grown so much in this calendar year. specifically across the publish. i'm the check that they have to institute immediately, what they called flexible mobile spot checks precisely to crack down on the sofa of what they call illegal immigration. but behind that stands also the full that many amongst the german police of science that they believe that board is some becoming difficult to manage much more time effort results as have to be invested. i am there is also before that many elected officials that administrators in the, for the state areas of germany repugnant to the check for public se, so many people are arriving on either demanding assign, finding a sign in office or how it feels as though they are back in the situation that applied internally in 2015, that refugee crisis. that is why the minister,
