thomas thanks so much for being with us human rights watch says is saudi teenager who's filling abuses barricaded herself in a hotel room at a bangkok airport to avoid deportation and possible violence tired already say rough mohammed noone would be sent back to kuwait today where her family is but says she holds a visa for australia and plans to seek asylum there the eighteen year old claims her passport was seized by a saudi official during a layover in bangkok. began posting on twitter for help from her hotel room in the airport on sunday here's her latest video. and i'm still in the. i have no choice. this it i have to go to. no one can have been right now. ok let's go straight to bangkok floria nurse covering
8:03 am
this story for us good morning florian we heard from a raw half there and she's talking about why she has being held in in thailand and wants to seek asylum in australia why is that being denied to her right now. well the situation is not one hundred percent clear right now what i can tell you is that she was supposed to have a layover here in bangkok and then travel on to australia where she had planned to claim seek for asylum there's conflicting information on how long this layover here in bangkok was supposed to be. obvious poured saying that she had actually planned to stay for a few days here in bangkok now in that case obviously she would have needed a visa to enter thailand which apparently she does not have others saying no she just wanted to change planes get on the next one to australia and just be in the
8:04 am
transit area in bangkok so right now apparently the thai immigration officials and the saudi officials from the from the embassy here are trying to you know solve the situation which for every side is very. well difficult ok at the same time we have human rights watch calling on thailand not to deport ross let's take a listen to that. the reality is that she should have the right to seek asylum i don't think that was her first choice i think she wanted to go to australia that was her original plan but you know in this situation now she needs to be provided protection because if she is sent back she will face very serious physical harm from her from her relatives ok very serious physical harm we hear there of learning why is she facing violence
8:05 am
at home. well so far we only have her word but i think it's quite credible that she has been abused at least psychologically that's what she says but she also claims she has been abused physically for just being a modern woman who wants to lead her life as women in the west basically so she writes in her twitter account that for example just for cutting her hair short she had basically she was put under house arrest for six months she wasn't allowed to to leave her room she has renounced islam and apparently that is something that is very very severe this is why she said she had to leave to flee her family to fleece saudi arabia and seek protection somewhere else ok this case is of course getting as a result of all of this a lot of international attention and rauf is getting
8:06 am
a lot of personal support as well. yes definitely i mean this story is going wild on social media for once i guess because the infamous case of journalist jamal khashoggi from saudi arabia who was murdered in turkey by saudi officials apparently this has put saudi arabia onder scrutiny and so everyone has been reminded that the situation and terms of human rights is very very difficult and saudi arabia but it's also thailand that is in the public eye right now and thailand has a history indeed of sending back refugees seekers to their respective countries even to authoritarian regimes just in october we have seen the case of the riney national who was on his honeymoon here in bangkok in thailand and
8:07 am
so tired i thought. he's have seized him have put him in detention because the rain actually demanded that he would be sent back to the rain so this situation is also quite unclear so we have to wait and see what the fate of this saudi woman will be there are many other flights not direct flights but. over flights to kuwait to saudi arabia so there is still plenty of opportunity to center back ok we'll have more from florida for us later today on the story for him for now thanks very much. we have some breaking news coming in military officers in the bomb stage an apparent coup officers in the central african nation have taken control of the state radio station and cleared president unfit for office he's recovering from a stroke right now in morocco there are reports of shots being fired in the capitol
8:08 am
hill not yet clear if the coup has been successful keep you updated on this throughout the day here at the top. it's now for some of the other stories making the news this hour in sudan police have used tear gas to disperse anti-government protesters thousands marched to the capital khartoum demanding the resignation of president omar al bashir demonstrations over food shortages and rising prices have been plaguing sit on in recent weeks. u.s. national security adviser john bolton says washington's pullout of troops from syria will be gradual signals a far less abrupt withdrawal than initially announced speaking with the israeli prime minister bolton so the pullout would be done in a way that would ensure the defeat of so-called islamic state. actor kevin spacey is due in court on the u.s. island of nantucket today over accusations that he sexually assaulted
8:09 am
a teenager in two thousand and sixteen he faces five years in prison if convicted the oscar winners one of hollywood's highest profile stars to be criminally charged since the launch of the need to move on or. show. it's to britain now where prime minister treason may is set to renew efforts today to push through her brakes a deal as parliament returns from its christmas break now here are some of the key dates that will determine britain's departure from the u.n. the prime minister's political future the first this coming up in mid january that's when members of parliament will be voting on to recent days controversial deal now that will determine what kind of bracks it will see come march twenty ninth. now that's a date britain has committed to to leave the you know if parliament rejects this deal well there could be a hard no deal bracks and that would mean confusion at the very least for business
8:10 am
on both sides of the channel now if parliament accepts teresa mayes deal there would be a transition period allowing britain and the european union to sort out new trade relations that period would end on december thirty first of next year so plenty of time for more drama along the way on sunday theresa may spoke with the b.b.c. about how she intends to convince a skeptical parliament to vote for her deal so what will be setting out over the next few days is. a sort of assurance is measures in three areas the first is measures that will be specific to northern ireland the second is a greater role for paul and if we take these negotiations and into the next stage for our future relationship on the third way still working on this is further assurances from the european union to address the issues that are being raised well despite fears from a strenuous efforts to persuade parliament to vote for her deal some in britain are
8:11 am
taking no chances one family for example in the south west of england fears they may run out of food if britain withdraws without a deal here's more on their efforts to prepare for the worst. this is the man family from cornwall and these are the provisions. food and drink for several months for five people plus the cat and doke. just in case there's the worst case you know we're not preparing for war for mean we're preparing for plex it. the mans have always been against britain leaving the e.u. and everything they've heard from london in the last two years makes them think bricks it is going to be a chaotic process. they've bought a water tank with a filter and because the u.k. gets some of its electricity from europe they're getting ready for power cuts. so we're being a bit balanced to me list it would not expect next be unexpected power cuts
8:12 am
frequently have more rationing of power much like the seventy's where there was set times of the day where there wouldn't be power. the whole family helps out with the weeding they hope that their homegrown greens will soon be ready to eat. is all this a bit too much maybe. but midwife nuveen says they're simply going on what they've heard from their government. u.k. government has them said they expect up to six months of. imports running on fifteen to twenty percent efficiency i think. so we're now increasing because we had underestimated what we might need. for the man family say they only rely on themselves. others haven't given up the fight yet it's early morning in london and a group of young people are about to get on a campaign bus their organization is called our future our choice just like fifty
8:13 am
nine percent of the british population they want to second referendum. there's a lot to do and we're going to look back on this years to come. but i think that the ties really are turning as a real opportunity for us now to really make the case. according to polls some seventy seven percent of britons under the age of twenty four would vote against leaving the e.u. and every day more young people are becoming old enough to vote. the message that these activists are promoting please stand up for our future and. the man family in cornwall have long since given up hoping britain will remain in the u. they don't think it's going to end well either so they're heading back to the shops to stock up on mall food. now because most important entertainment awards ceremony after the oscars the golden globes have been headlining in los angeles and there have been some real surprises some of the films
8:14 am
expected to sweep the boards well they didn't do that well get the lowdown from hollywood and moment first this report. lady gaga post for the cameras as she arrived for what she hoped would be her big night. as she and other hopefuls return to wearing color after last year's show of solidarity in black for the me to movement. the golden globes hosts praised the greater diversity among twenty one thousand contenders they're not just here tonight because they resonated with audiences hollywood often ignores their here because they told stories that resonated with everyone and that is truly a beautiful thing. that the jury chose bohemian rhapsody as best movie drama for rami the experts trail of queen front man freddie mercury his performance also earned him best actor in drama for belongs to that reinvent the fair in a. close was named as best actress in a drama for her role in the wife. get the award
8:15 am
for best foreign language film when two roma filmmaker all fronts a korans ode to his childhood in one thousand seventy s. mexico he also picked up the prize for best director. let's get out of k j matthew she's an entertainment journalist based in los angeles morning k.j. a bohemian rhapsody the big surprise of the evening. yes yes that came out of nowhere right you know the film bohemian rhapsody initially people didn't really give it the thumbs up in terms of the film critic community here in hollywood so it was quite surprising to see that it won big tonight in a best picture category or musical and also rami malik taking away some hardware for best actor he did a phenomenal job in transforming himself as freddie mercury the late freddie mercury from the green the group queen that is so we were really quite surprised to
8:16 am
see him take that away from people like bradley cooper and then green book that did very well as well and if people aren't familiar with the great film green book it's a biographical a story about an african-american classical pianist that toured the south here in america during the sixty's and hired how you know american bouncer from the bronx to basically be as bodyguard and be his driver and the driver is played by actor vigo moore argus in hershel ali plays the african-american classical pianist and he won in the supporting acting kara great tonight so it really was a great night for bohemian rhapsody and as well as green book and gender equality and diversity were also in the limelight again at this year's golden globes but will all the high powered support eventually lead to more contracts for say female directors and and producers. you know just a year ago at the oscars we had people doing time's up and talking about using
8:17 am
inclusion writers where people were pledging to use at least fifty percent women and or people of color in acting roles and we're still hearing it today today regina king one company for best supporting actress and it builds freak could talk she's an african-american actress here and she pledged that for the next two years in all of the films that she produces she will make sure that fifty percent of those roles are going to women so she's still keeping it going and she asked other people to step up to the plate and the times up organization tonight said a lot more women should do exactly what regina king did tonight ok well time's up will not be the only one to be the eyes on that to see if there's progress there k.j. right now matthews from los angeles thanks very much. thank you we have some sports now in the handball world championship starts this thursday in berlin and it opens with a unique match germany versus korea now this will be korea's first ever unified
8:18 am
appearance at a handball world championship with north korean players being integrated now into the south korean team they've been training together here in berlin for two weeks to make sure their athletic impact is as big as their diplomatic one. the match between the korean handball world championship squad in german third division side potsdam may have just been a pre-tournament warm up but it was still somewhat historic. for the first time ever korea has a unified handball team with players from both countries in the tournament opener korea coach show young shin squad will face co-hosts germany in the german capital . the world championship is really meaningful for us especially since we'll be playing in berlin was a divided city have found a way to peace after the fall of the wall as a unified team we want to show that korea can also find this way to. show young shane will only have had three weeks to integrate four players from north korea
8:19 am
into the team a massive challenge in modern handball but the north koreans don't stand out much in training except for maybe their shoes which are the blue red and white of their flag. we felt a bit distant from each other when we first met the north koreans. going closer in the days we've spent together and as i was and now we've become friends. and everything sounds rosy for the captain but his new teammate from north korea. has a more level take our first world championship we've got lots of expectations about what will experience and what we'll learn of course we also want to strong showing you. north and south korea made history with a united women's hockey team at the winter olympics and young change the pre-selected north korean fans went by role in a p.r. coup for the regime but on the ice the first ever appearance of a combined team was a sporting disaster. coach show young shin is hoping to avoid
8:20 am
a similar showing but that gap in quality between players from the north and south is significant. technically the north koreans aren't the strongest but they really want to integrate into the team. they're in top shape so while incorporate that into my tactics to take advantage of their strengths. and. promise to play at least one north korean in every world championship match in the tuneup against pot stam only reak young son made an appearance his three countrymen to watch from the bench as korea fell to the german third division side. we have some winter sports now and ski jumping is pretty just for hills tournaments coming to a close and the twenty nine hundred champion is japan's rio yokoyama final event at which is whole from austria talk of yoshi come out as top again that's thanks to a huge second jump of one hundred thirty seven point five metres it was also meant
8:21 am
the twenty two year old claimed a grand slam having won all four of this year's events curiosity is the first japanese owsley. so win for hill's title since one thousand nine. it's going to. get it too optimistic to say we might be seeing an end to the u.s. china trade dispute brian of looks like a very interesting day today in beijing trade talks are set to begin today in the chinese capital with many hoping that the months long dispute between the united states and china can be resolved a delegation of u.s. officials including deputy u.s. trade representative jeffrey garish is in beijing to meet chinese officials the talks will be the first since u.s. president and his chinese kind of artesian ping reached a ninety day truce in their trade war last month mr trump had initially imposed import tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars of chinese goods to pressure beijing to change right. this is on issues ranging from state subsidies to cyber
8:22 am
attacks china retaliated with terrorists of its own. well investors are hopeful that those trade talks will deliver results helping asian markets to a positive start into the new trading week china's shanghai composite as well as hong kong's hang seng index gained half a percent shares in japan's nikkei up almost three percent helped in part by include yen. so investors are upbeat let's get more on these trade talks with gabriel myer he's the director of the center for international economics in munich welcome to the program gabriel now these negotiations do not involve high ranking officials what can we expect to come out of them particularly since president trump likes to focus heavily on personal relationships. described kristof but we shouldn't forget that this is just the start of a longer process. the there are very hard knots to crack and what we
8:23 am
see now is the preparation of the ground work that's happening. can we read anything out of the fact that the u.s. delegation is traveling to china and not the other way around. well as i said this is a lengthy longer process that's the starting right now we'll see if both sides of serious in this negotiation will see a lot of commuting between bridging and and washington i don't think that the fact that the talks start now inching has any important meaning to our stuff of course it's true that the psychology matters it's true that the day to day politics matters is it's also true that the stock exchange movements metaphor the dynamics of clocks so so there is something to that but i think generally speaking it doesn't really matter whether the talks take place and pitching in washington now let's take a look at the core problem here one of your studies found that chinese producers are carrying the main burden of the u.s. imports terrorists but last week we reported that for example u.s.
8:24 am
tech heavyweight apple is under this dispute as well is there now enough incentive to bury the hatchet. so i would say that the evidence builds up that both sides actually facing huge costs from that from that conflict it might be true of the economic cost as warrants are in bridging that in washington but it is also true that the political cost of all that is very sizable in the united states as well the u.s. president has a face a lot of attention to the dynamics of the stock exchange and here we have seen weeks of trouble so that means that the you has despite maybe facing this smaller economic costs are facing the higher political cost of that makes makes of them maybe ready for a compromise. director of the usual center for international economics thank you for your insight you're well. twenty nineteen still feels pretty

the machine is essentially creating a new image from scratch purely by slowness on the standing of what is the real world look like so in a way it's doing something quite similar to our minds all where we look at a distorted image through you know kind of glass which might be a pipe but we can kind of construct an m.r.i. what do we think the image looks like on the other side the technology would be valuable for driverless cars it could help the vehicles the cameras deliver a clear image even when it's raining autonomous cars will also be in the spotlight of this year's c e s. well staying in the tech sector of the love hate relationship between apple and samsung is looking a bit more loving after the tech rival giants agreed a deal that will see apple's i tunes movies and t.v. shows made available on samsung's smart t.v.'s comes after apple said plan to offer more services to reduce its dependence on i phone sales revenue last week shares from a bit after that lowered its outlook due to weak demand for i phones in china to
