sectors of molly does not return to democracy by the end of february. the west african country is considered highly unstable in the scene 3 military takeover since 2012. most recently last me a baby that went missing during august's chaotic u. s. lead evacuation at cobble airport in afghanistan has been reunited with his family. the boy's parents were unable to find him after the split 2nd decision to hand him to a soldier. they then went on to the u. s. without him. one of the rima raised this boy like he was harun, except so he'll isn't hers. he was separated from his parents during a melee at cobble airport. ha mm. it found the boy? who the hell am i done today? i entered the airport and saw a baby was laying down on the ground in a very bad way. i looked around and showed this child to many people, but i couldn't find any one related to him. i called my wife at home, and i said,

i won't go to america. i brought the child home, i brought milk and we've been taken care of him since. like i said in the couple who have 3 daughters, nan incorporated the boy into their family. the other thing, i love this child a lot, but we cannot be his mother and father. he has to live with his parents. like many babies. so hale was thrust into the hands of soldiers amid frantic scenes. this child was, were united with its parents. sir hale was not until an international campaign to find him led to a breakthrough under taliban bruce could re union with his grandfather, who travel to days and nights to meet him. a mazda of the home it today is a historical day for us. as i received my grandson in front of the media, the ortho,

the thermometer will you the and the handover of this child has been long pressed. are we gonna mccarran why? i'm so grateful to those who helped us fully to reach love and receive this child him as a catholic, a on home. mr. ruth, are you sir hales, real parents? i hope we can no join them in the us battle. where that moment is likely to be every bit as emotional as this good bye. oh, now afghans, neighbor, turkmenistan has one of the most unique tourist attractions in the world. it's the so called date of hell or date to hell, but it might be getting closed for good. let's hear why that is with our own aaron tilton. so what exactly is this gate to hell? first of all. ok, well the gate to hell is one of took medicines, most famous and well known tourist attractions. basically, we can see here on the wall behind us, it's

a giant sink hole that was created back in the seventy's when soviet geologists were doing some exploratory drilling in the area, the cause to collapse. and this huge cavern opened up, as we can see until all right now. and basically they quickly realized that methane was streaming out of the cavern and const because they wanted to continue their research, they thought the best thing that they could do would be to drop a flare in their light it on fire and let the methane burn off it thought it would be extinguished after a couple of days and they could continue the research well, 50 years later, the fire is still burning and it creates this kind of other worldly view. as you can, as our viewers can see right there on the screen. now it's become worked medicines biggest and best tourist attractions, but it's also a thorn in the eye of the local government. yeah, that plan sounds like something some high school students might get themselves up to, to, to light a fire like that. so it's a great tory traction, i can imagine to bring in lots of money for the government or for the country. why do they want to close it? well, if you ask the government, they say it's an ecological problem with creating an environmental disaster in the region, and it's also presenting a health problem because of course,

methane gas burning constantly isn't something you really want to breathe in constantly, which is part of the reason they're actually looking to close it down, moving forward, but it's a big question if they'll actually be able to put out the fire. you know, they created an expert panel back in 2010 that was supposed to look into that. and they're doing the same thing now, but they still haven't really found a good way to put the fire out yet. i mean, this is a huge pit in the middle of what looks like a giant desert. what are their options on the table? well, that is kind of the big open question that they don't actually know how they can put the fire. they want to do it. but they've been looking into this, you know, time and time again since 2010. and they haven't really found a good way to do it thus far. and yet, remember, this isn't the only fire like this around the world. these underground fires are very, very tricky businesses. there's like this. it's really a fire in the united states, a coal mines that started on fire, also in the seventies and still hasn't gone out yet. you know, these i'm fires are really in an inaccessible place to very, very deep down. they don't really know how they're being fed with oxygen. so no, there isn't really a good option to put it out thus far. and if you ask me, you know, i actually think it's kind of a good thing. you know,

this is one of the more bizarre wonders of the world and you know, if it's light goes out, i think the world's going to get a little bit more boring. so i just a little bit darker, a little bit darker. exactly. so i really hope i asked me, i really kind of hope the gate else is open for a little bit longer. well, i think it's a challenge ahead of them and i think you might get your wish. yeah, exactly, here until and thanks for bringing us this story. maybe see intervention exactly. ah, german football news now. barissi at dorman took advantage of league leaders. byron munich, unexpected slip up against lava, on friday, by beating and hot frankfurt, but then fell back in the title race. but as so often the case with dormant, they didn't, they did it. the hard way. dot mend, aren't short of superstars yet to time after time. season after season, they've let borne out of jail. so it was no surprise when frankfort took an early lead. there were just 60 minutes on the clock when raphael bray made at one mill keeper, grig coble. miss dawkins last game through illness. and the swiss international was

caught cold here. more heartless, defending 100 maria seconds. just 9 minutes later. why dorman, skipper markle royce was trying to multiply his own box is anyone's guess. and the re took full advantage to know the halftime score. dockman had to rule up their sleeves, but when they eventually pulled one back through sub token as are and 71 minutes, it seemed to have come too late. but perhaps this team does have the guts required for a title dog fight. jude bellingham made it to to with 3 minutes to go. and then monkwood da who'd spot to jubilation in the black and yellow ranks. the german international curling in the winter with just a minute left. emotions were still bubbling at full time. but darkman coach michael rosa looked the calmest man in the stadium,

as he made off with 3 precious points. by oliver cousin drew with on your berlin to keep their noses in front of the visitors in the race for champions lea qualification. with a score $11.00 krisha crumble, pounced from close range early in the 2nd half to put on young to one up. but then came unit until late header at security to, to draw for labor cozen though the result means they still dropped out a 5th place. that's all they got for you for now. coming up. next is a documentary looking at how the renaissance changed. the world will have more news for you coming up soon. thanks very much. i will interest the globally.
