look into central areas when they peg minus 26 celsius minus 18. therefore minneapolis and the hate to the die, those type of to try to pick up. but a big jump in temperatures by the time comes to wednesday, the, the humanitarian crisis and 11 and calls for immediate and sustained action. okay, i foundations loving an emergency response subs as a vital lifeline for many in desperate need. your donations can play a crucial role in alleviating suffering. promote in community wellbeing and contributing to the recovery. join ok, foundation in its mission to support 11 and during this critical time. full now or visit. okay, adult tool. the

effect of gand it's designed to inflame and defense the way that the story is being told. not right. not accurate from social networks to legacy media. the listening post explosives, the post is behind the headlights pulled out the the you're watching. i'll just hear a reminder about top stories. the ssl is at least to see. i tell us the indians have been killed in the tax targeting residential areas across the street in kansas city of tags destroyed multiple homes, causing extensive destruction and injuries. gosh,

jason sanders house were on cancer and released the captives are in the final stages towards a being held here in doha with guitar immediately as us officials and just seeing it is rarely delegation. cuts us foreign ministry says that the deal is closed. new kinds, military is cooling over, not drones, strikes on prussia, one of the biggest attacks of its kind since the started the war. nearly 3 years ago, most goes defense, ministry says keeps actions will not go on. on. the germany's and terry administer says, syrian refugees should be allowed to once only trip to the home the country without affecting the immigration status. then see far as us is it would give refugees a chance to decide if a permanent return to syria is possible. feeling normally revokes refugees,

visas if they travel to the country of origin to many heights, the largest number of syrian refugees in europe. with more of this, we joined by doing that kind who is in the gym and capital. the lin don't like. can you just physical tell us more about this proposal? how likely is it that it's could be implemented in what of syrian based syrians, bison, germany, what if they've been telling you sofa to the interior ministry officials that it's anyway say that they don't require changes in law or anything like that in order to be able to implement it, so on the face of it, this could happen relatively quickly. we understand from certain, well connected sources in the syrian community here who look into the galaxy of certain aspects of life as her and say that yes it could. it has been suggested to them that this could happen pretty quickly. why is this happening? because there are 972000. it's estimated the syrians in this country who haven't yet naturalized as germans. and so they would theoretically fits into this category

. but what is the reaction to this? why spoken to 3 different syrians who's making the lives in germany, one of whom has traveled back to syria over the course of the last few weeks. he has german citizenship and so can return. and all of them, their reaction is this is a good step forward that they don't believe right now is that they can really make an informed decision about something that could be so life changing without having the chance to see for themselves how things have developed. and how they will develop the behind all of this. there is a suggestion amongst pretty much all the main street political parties. they believe that that refugees and migrants the way the entire integration debate here has been handled, needs to change. that has been a toughening a hardening of time, but also of legislation regarding refugees in the course of the last 12 months. that's the prism you have to view this through. and of course, as

a general election coming up on february, the 23rd, an immigration is playing quite a large part in that whole campaign that, that debate. so that's have to see this, but the reaction from syrians is a qualified success. they think this is an interesting step forward. it's not necessarily a decisive one. okay, thank you so much for all of that. this told me that kind for us and bill and are going to stay with this story. and we're joined now by over at bruckner, who is a professor of political science at stanford university in bill, and he joins us from the len, thanks very much for being with us here on al jazeera. first of all, what's your reaction to this proposal? i mean, does it make sense from the both syrians, but as, as well as gemini as a whole? well, the situation is a very complex one, because when we only look at the aggregated number is that there is something like a 1000000 people off the story. and do send in germany,

and some of them have changed their nationality. some have this state or some have all those staters people who look at this from various angles depending on where they stand politically. so what we just heard from dominic is that there's a growing number of people who simply want to know what the burden of granting asylum and giving a helping hand to people. indeed which is true. but at the same time, there's still a vast majority of people who are strongly committed to that you might need terry and supports to people in need. and if the circumstances have changed, then one also should address them. so i can personally understand that the 2 ministers from the outgoing government try to find a pragmatic approach to help people to form an opinion if this is the future or whether they should rather stay in germany. but of course,

it is also something that will get them immediately on the fire because the ride and also political spectrum brings up a lot of a legal question. is it germany to decide about the state or is, or is it actually the personal choice of a person with a special secured his data is to decide under what conditions they want to be in germany. the endless discussions ended will be instrumental lives for the elections is we had a, there's an election coming up next month. and the political view is dominic was describing it has had and against refugees and, and migrant. emigration is clearly going to be a major bone of contention there in the election. how is that gonna play into this proposal? and if it goes ahead or not to but what we hear from the tools, female ministers of the outgoing government is a position that is strongly supported by people who vote for the green party. this is the foreign ministers opinion. and from social democrats who have

a much more humanitarian position. when we talk about migration for the on the right end of the spectrum, are races center for big towns, anti islam, and time. anti jewish positions that you didn't t and the same way in 2015, 16 when germany was famous for as well coming culture. so because there is a growing number of people, the home for large with extreme is positions. the potential we know of the upcoming elections. the question democratic union is fishing in the waters and therefore the conservative candidate is making announcement that he personally could never complete because everything is a case by case decision. and this idea of there is a 1000000 of people and we take out 800000 no, 200000 simply doesn't match german law and international commitments.

ok, thank you so much for your insights. fascinating as it was to get your thoughts. so that's like breaking the professor of political science at stanford university. thanks for having me. the, the confirmation hearing is underway for you as president elect donald trump was picked for the defense secretary from a fox news host and military veteran to pay to hicks. this describes himself as a change agent. public reports accused them of central assaults, mismanagement of veterans charities, so infrequent of public intoxication. fix ethical says he's a different man now. says when president trump chose me for this position, the primary charge he gave me was to bring the warrior culture back to the department of defense. he liked me once

a pedagogy laser focused on police ality meritocracy, war fighting, accountability, and readiness. so mike, hannah is covering the story for us and joins us from the capitol. hill of lots might festival. there are a number of confirmation hearings going on this week. so why is pete hicks? it's so important. well, as it turns out, it's a 1st confirmation hearing to take place. it will 2 other scheduled for today, but they have been pushed back apparently with problems about f b. i investigations into those 2 candidates. but this is an opportunity for full the senate to show where it stands with regard to what fits of intellect. trump, once on his agenda, it is the point at which some can oppose something that they believe is wrong and stand up and do so, be they republican or democrat. so this particular hearing very important because it will give an indication as to what extent a republicans in particular will follow the dictates of president electronic full

with it. they all some who move aside and go against him. now in this particular hearing, p takes that needs to get o republican sentences on his side. if 3 defect will vote against him, then he will not be confirmed. so it's a very narrow margin in a way, and it is an opportunity for republicans in particular, in congress to show whether or not they are going to reset the to the back, everything that the president elect once. okay, do we have a sense of how the hearing has been going fit? so pete hicks of so i thought well, it was as expected going along partisan lines, a very strong attack from the ranking democratic men, the jack read who brought up the issues immediately off trains of sexual assault of mismanagement, a whole host of details that have been brought up in the past heck sits himself as rapidly confronted these particular allegations saying they owe nothing more than

a smear campaign by what he portrayed as the liberal media. he got back in this for i'm the chair of the armed services committee and roger wicker, who made very clear that many have suffered, as he pointed these experiences. so we are seeing at the moment seems proceeding along the partisan lines, in which case if it goes he will get nominated, given the fact that the republicans have a 3 person majority in the chain. but okay, thank you so much, mike. a montana for us. the in capitol hill for firefighters in the us city of los angeles, and preparing for another round of powerful winds that they've been able to contain . for awhile 5, the palisades blaze is to belong just an only 14 percent contained as being burning for a week. on monday, another 5 bro accounts in neighboring ventura county northwest of ally. it's training parts of the city of oaks that prompting evacuation notice at least 24

people have dies and 23 others. i'm missing hope to hear a has been taken behind police lines to see the damage from the palace sides 5. this went down and entire area of los angeles residents don't yet know when they will be allowed to retain philip el reports from the pacific palisades. so that the scale of the loss is certainly unprecedented. chris harvey has been through some of california is was wild fires, but even, hey, we shocked by how much the policy expired. destroyed in such a short space of time. this is, you know, literally street after street after street 4 or 4 miles in all directions where almost a week after the start of the play, use the tool through this entire los angeles community. he took his pos, the barricades and into the evacuations. are going to show us the devastation house is gone, driveway spilled with cause ben so badly. it is impossible to make out which make

or model they was. you know, once a vehicle catches fire and is fully in, engulf. ringback obviously is putting out a lot of sparks and a lot of embers, and those can carry in a very strong when the fire started in the hills spreading across the whole area with tara flying speed. it seems that will hold those who lives here for the rest of their lives. how rotate force wins gave it an extra charge. you have home 0 stair stepped up a hillside and so the steeper the train, the more the fire will act like it's just going up the chimney. we're having to walk as people try to flee in the cause. they filed themselves trapped. so people were coming down in that cause, trying to get away from the fire. that's correct. you can see the direction all these vehicles were pointed initially they were coming down this direction and the fire was coming down the hill and starting to impinge across the road here. and i think people has the vehicles were stopped realized. they weren't, they were in their vehicles. as the fire was getting closer, they made the decision to jump out and run and see missed on the ground for that.

the wheels of melted. i mean, it shows how intense there's legs left. yeah. the flames get so hot as the as the as the metal melton, just pools and then pedals and runs downhill. every way you look signs of what once was the picket fences still standing, but the houses behind them gone christmas day duration, still hanging from the trees at every now and again, a house that looks out of place because it still exists. this one's own is covered in crosses. it's some kind of divine intervention. sped that people here are very nervous because full cost is a warning of extreme winds. i had potentially more hurricane force winds just like we saw last week. and we all know what that can lead to everybody here, not just in los angeles, but across the southern california, fully away. this may be fall from over phil laval. i'll just say we're in the pacific palace sites. it's more than i see in the formal miners have resurfaced

from of mine and still fontaine in south africa often months on the ground. they were immediately arrested. 36 ponies also brought to the surface is risk you operations continued for a 2nd day. it comes as video image of dead bodies and stopping miners underground. having the task that has the nicest from the mind size. when video, image of dead bodies and people who look like they were starving itself. a lot of people, hey, it really showed how bad the situation is on the ground. that's where the receipt operation is. kind of the taking place. and since we been here, we saw people carrying body bags onto a truck for the off to party off to body and where the rest of the ways it is happening. what i thought you say is happening is that a cage is being sent into the mind. so if that case could be, i'm about 6 or 7 people at a time and indication of how long is risk the operation could take to talk more about the situation. i'm joined by timberly buckman, he's a community activist. thank you very much for talking to us. the risk operation has

now started. what do you think appropriate so far? yeah, um, it's better to use the day. it was supposed to say because the people, the strategic to could not go down and there was the other lady in the community to assist them. so we have to go to choose to cool down with the train the t at, you know, they design. so from yesterday we were able to listen to the a number of people that is a life to me. 6 and then 9 dead bodies that was due yesterday. so today we did a bit, eddie has with 55 people that are life and we have 70 and a sofa and ninety's that we have not the corporation instead of

going on. so what we draw on why was so many people allowed to just die down me? that's a we we spoke to governments october 21st office. and we do make them all way. it's opting for an account and that's nathan last week. and then on the day it costs a little more to come out. we said that flipped because you have closed the loads for food. if close the access to people that don't operate gems of assisting them, you must remember the last email out on the account. so your operation, it is, it is designed to let them suffocate and die under though they then said you can make it plain where we came as a cause. we need to wait for them to. but this is what one to say. we feel this was a, by the it was done because the one to,

to cute. today we have numbers where this could have been avoided. if we put this operation or def, kim india, to be in the box, me. thank you very much for talking to us government administer to say there's no way of knowing how many people are still underground this day of the given official report. once the rescue authoration is over and they said that could take about 2 weeks. parliament tasa out of there are still funds i saw that was the last for 19 people accused of involvement in the 2021 assassination of haiti's president. jovan no more say say the hoping for their clients. release. 17 full of columbia and soldiers. and to haitians having their kaiser in a private house in the capital for the prince of the quote was shot because of violence. a judge postponed to the case since a life of this month. the assassination 3 years ago triggered a political crisis and spiraling gang violence, or indonesia is planning to regulate children's use of social media. the

communications minister says it's a 1st step towards a strict the law. then november, australia became the 1st country, depend on the 16 year olds from accessing social media. but the name of the month was still discussing and studying this. but principally before a strict to know will be issuing a government regulation 1st. while stronger child protection measures which need to involve parliament is being prepared. so again, this is a bridge between those news and we'll discuss with parliament what measures can be taken to protect our children. facilitate here on al jazeera and support around the world and 64 days we'll hear from a record breaking the the latest news as it breaks the book, clubs, desk for 12, with solutions, and i'm so, so the o problem was put this 5, the support for the new administration with detailed coverage for people on
