a gulag and i'm back several of the myself said so so if there is a war than those fighters i like to do join in is what is present in city of their lives as in numbers and as well that is here in lebanon as well so whatever conflict happens whether in syria or another on his less likely to participate in his level is going to be engaged ok and. not not very good prospects that until vora in beirut many thanks of some of the other stories making news around the world your sexual state might compare said that america could help rebuild north korea's economy if the country gives up its nuclear weapons made the comment at a news conference alongside his south korean counterpart the robust verification of any denuclearize ation would be needed. turkish state media say judges have lifted the house arrest order against journalists by two months after
