they would find where his family members with one, 0 must i? i said it was howling with next to that tree to one now and that's why it's completely destroyed up. i'm sorry, i missed that. that was our mistake. i'm still hoping for a miracle for my wife i for my child. but because if they died, i have to let them go up. so day glass to one, really mo. but at least i want their bodies to be recovered either even though earthquakes hit indonesia, often few buildings are earthquake proof in this populous region. south of the capitol jakarta, the head of indonesia, national rescue agency says many of the dead are school children in this hospital, the doctors are treating the ones that survived. one mother described what happened

to her daughter when the quake hit just after lunch time. probably younger young had no grass, there were quakes and it was intense. a wall collapsed on her from the neck down. they could be, mine would be money though. a bad ally had come out. i could only see her head in law. there was a full thermos that was hit by the wall as well, and the hot water burned her. oh, but i must can be man there more. oh baton. thousands of people have fled to make shift camps like this. it's not clear when it will be safe to return home. former u. s. president donald trump has lost a 3 year fight to prevent the real release of his tax returns. trump card asked the supreme court to block a lower court ruling allowing a congressional committee to access 6 years of his tax records with the justices

denied his plea, paving the way for the treasury department to hand over the documents to the democratic lead. the w reporter katy stevens has been following the story and joins me now here in the studio. okay, great to see. so this is a, let's say complicated, long running legal battle. break it down force, right? well, to understand this, we really need to go all way back to 2016 during the presidential campaign back then donald trump became the 1st presidential candidate in 40 years to refuse to release his tax returns, which is kind of been standard practice for modern presidents and presidential candidates, now there was a lot of pressure on him to do so. he had boasted of his aggressive tax avoidance strategy in his business dealings. but he never did it and he refused to do it fast . forward to 2019 and the congressional committee that looked into tax matters said

it needed to have a look at donald trump's tax returns for 2013 to 2018 because it wanted to reveal review how tax law applies to president's particular president. donald trump with very complex business dealings. now the treasury at that time refused, and donald trump's lawyer said, no, there's no legal legislative purpose for any of this is all politically motivated. so that basically sets up this sort of legal fight that then went on for the next 3 years, ping ponging through various courts. and today we've had the supreme court now refusing to block the release of these tax returns to congress. so it finally now looks like it's probably the end of the road for the former u. s. president, in this case. right. so tell us then katie, what are the ramifications of this decision when things are likely to move pretty quickly? and so it seems that these tax returns, and those of some business is connected to donald trump, will be almost immediately turned over to this committee. however, the committee doesn't have a lot of time and whether the democrats and the committee don't have much time left

of congressional business this year, just weeks next year. the republicans take over control of the house of representatives and also the chair of this committee. so it's not really clear what the democrats will be able to do with this time, but you can bet they're going to be coming through all of these tax returns looking for any evidence of potential improper accounting. and of course, that information could then potentially be linked to the public. that's i'll give you why the democrats have been so hell bent on, getting their hands on these tax returns before the end of the year. and also why donald trump and his team say that this is pretty motivated, or it will tell us, what does this actually all mean or what could it mean? and for donald trump, well of course this all comes to the days after tonight's he wants to run for president again in 2024. this is a major blow. he's been fighting for years to keep these tax. it has as of the public eye. but it's not, there's only legal issue that he's facing. he's got many investigations on multiple fronts, from his role in inciting the capital riot,

to holding classified documents, allegedly fortunate business practices. and interestingly, this is the 3rd time that he's face to feet by the supreme court regarding legal battles as a documents just this year alone. so all of this is not looking very good. and of course, if any evidence does come out of wrong doing in his business dealings, something that he's boasted about being so successful out for years that could really put both his off could really affect his campaign. he's already had a shaky thought with the mid terms, the candidates that he back not performing as well as expected. but that doesn't mean we can, right, donald trump pulse just yet. he's likely to frame all these allegations once again as a political which of course, and that could play well with his base. and we won't, will be hearing plenty from donald trump. i'm pretty sure that the job, the reporter katie stephen. thanks. germany's government says it has agreed to withdraw all its troops from molly. by 2024th. the west african nation has been fighting h. a hottest insurgency for

a decade now. germany has around 1000 troops. currently deployed in monte most are involved in recognizance. the pull out will start in may 2023. more and more western nations have withdrawn their forces from molly in recent months. it's military government has become a close ally of russia and russian mercenaries have been linked to several massacres. there were earlier we spoke with d. w correspondent bank coming out about his gruber and asked him what was behind berlin's decision is not really a surprise. and there have been several problems between berlin and by michael that also let to germany temporarily suspending it sponges the emission in molly that was back in august were berlin accused by mock of not giving a german military, playing so called over fly, derides to a plant change of personnel who with that? so now they had this emergency meeting with jim and chancellor. we'll have shoals with the ministers of defense the for minutes on

to 65 nations participating. but what we can see more and more recently is that especially western nations, european nations, putting out and as the piece of original function, usually the true contributing countries bring the material equipment and everything else. so a nation like germany, for example, great britain, often way better equipped and all to have better resources than west african partners or countries from south asia that participate in the mission. and that so far will the, in the mission to sport saudi arabia have stunned one of the pre tournament favorites, argentina in their 1st group much. they came from a goal down to turn the match round after halftime dancing argentina's world. cope's oh, all eyes were on you know, messy in what is like he his nasty shot at a woodcock trophy. he converted from the spot to give argentina the lead. but

tree off site goes in the 1st half would come back to haunt them. saudi arabia launch the mother of all comebacks. sony and she, the leveling in the 48 minute sony fans met with the moon and there was more to come near sight, turned his match on its head in a matter of 5 minutes. sunny allow savvy, making it a barely believable to one punch in tina. we have relentless as they pushed one equalizer, but saudi arabia survived the onslaught ending argentine us $36.00 game on beaten run to see a historic victory. and group d and upset look to be on the cars is australia took an early lead against france, but in the end the world champions coasted to an easy victory. francis mission for this tournament is clear back to back world cup winds. but it was the obvious that

3 to one in the 68 minutes and then provided the assist for you. brace the 4th one that sealed the deal. after a shaky start, the reigning champions were quick to recover, claiming a desert 3 points in the 1st game of mission. back to back, the polish superstar robert levon dusky took to the world cup stage as his side took on mexico. after an uneventful 1st half, poland were awarded a penalty after an hour's worth of play, levin dusky stepped up to take it, but the polish captain met his match in mexico's guillermo ochoa. the 37 year old was undoubtedly the man of the match that finished nil all, leaving lemon dusky in disbelief and the mexican fans in tears. well, let's take a look at all the results from day 3 in qatar. argentine as last leaves them bottom of group see with saudi arabia, the surprise leaders after just one game in group
