a win. we didn't have long that we had just took off and then it. really is amazing but i think both sides will help. but the impact of climate change and recent weather patterns are against them. we sort of pick winds up to one above i declare it as an add on which will the temperatures up into the heart thirty's and we saw that humidity is down as low as 5 percent the conditions in which wildfires spread quickly. officials greatest fear is that the blazes sydney red fire retardant dropped by a plain covers everything on the outer edges of sydney suburbs. authorities think they're fighting a losing battle and given the forecast for very hard and lucky severe conditions ahead as we head into this way again and another really hot burst of it coming through new south wales on choose die and winds die of next week we simply aren't going to get the upper hand on all of these fars bushfires are
8:19 pm
a regular occurrence during australian summers but this year's intensity and extremely early arrival of the wildfire season have led to an acute political debate over the impact that climate change is having on the country's non-urban letty. the us supreme court is now hearing arguments in the case that claims president donald trump's administration illegally ended the dream works program now it allowed undocumented migrants brought to the u.s. as children to live and work in the u.s. illegally now the scheme widely referred to by its acronym dhaka was introduced under the obama administration it has shielded more than half a 1000000 young people from deportation. georgetown university in washington d.c. is where you've gone sollars studies and lives. she was born in mexico but was

8:22 pm
a plan and if that plan is going to the u.s. i need to know. but i am in a way i hope i don't get heartbroken by the decision and like any time i do get a bad decision is just grief over it for a few time for a few days and then getting back up in figuring out alternatives that's been my whole life and i think it will continue to be my whole life. and other doctor recipients will have to write a decision from the supreme court is expected sometime before next summer. well you may remember the tragic story of the u.s. college student all the warm beer 2 years ago were being returned to the u.s. after more than a year in a north korean prison he was comatose and unresponsive his parents blamed north korea for torturing him we're now they've made it their mission to ensure maximum pressure is put on the regime of kim jong owen and they are now here in berlin at
8:23 pm

a coma with brain damage and approved his repatriation back in cincinnati within a week his hospital bed had become his death bed his parents accused pealing young of torturing him pointing out a new scar on his foot. that doesn't just happen and he didn't have any scars on his body but u.s. court ordered north korea to pay $500000000.00 in damages the regime says a faulty dosage of tranquilizer caused the coma. since the regime refuses to recognize the ruling those parents want north korean assets seized wherever they violate u.n. sanctions that's how they found out about a controversial hostel on north korea's embassy grounds in berlin. so. this is a clear violation of e.u. and international law. yet since the grounds are also guarded germany's foreign office says it's
8:25 pm
a difficult situation it says the hostile business is the object of an ongoing legal dispute and declined further comment. if you don't hold them responsible for their actions there that empowers them to continue this horrible behavior that's also why the warren beers recently distanced themselves from the u.s. president they call donald trump's close relationship with kim jong il an intolerable i refuse to accept there's any reason to compliment this this monster. and they pledged to continue speaking their minds everywhere. we just want to know what happened to our son there must be records on it were caring parents but on the intercom with the embassy would it be possible for us to make an appointment with the ambassador they were told to send an e-mail they said thank you knowing full well they'll never get
