2:10 am
there are toilet blocks already here that people can use as a library just on the way over there that has been turned into a makeshift clinic. now one of the big concerns for the people that are living in these tens, especially from, for the ones that aren't actually from this part of gas yann's had, is that within 60 days, they will have to return back to their local municipality to register. and they don't know what they'll be, whether they'll be able to return to these tens aft reads. but the ones with the tense, i see the lucky ones for every one else that hasn't managed to get a tent yet they're sleeping on the floors in these buildings and the situation that isn't very nice for them as they wait for a slightly more permanent place to live, there are 8 organizations here, providing food and water, a medicine. but there's a lot of fear for the people here. they just don't know what's going to happen in the coming days and weeks. you know these jack perez reporting from southern turkey there. let's get you up to speed on some of the other stories making headlines

2:12 am
a generational shift and the republican party. but recent polling shows that just 4 percent of republican voters back haley. well, 43 percent support trump, m t w's washington correspondent, mikaela. christina is following the story for us and sent us this assessment of his chances. well, the announcement by nikki haley wasn't surprising and yes at around 4 percent. she doesn't really sound like a big threat for donald trump himself, who is still way ahead in the polling. but she does have a unique quality. she would be the 1st woman she has a migratory background. and whoever you ask you in washington will tell you that she has navigating. trump isn't down to a fine art. after all, she went from someone who opposed trump in 2016 warning of a siren. trump one shouldn't follow to becoming her. you an ambassador. and to vowing this, let's take a lie with and i will talk to him about it. that's something that we'll have

2:14 am
but we do expect that to happen. nikki haley is very early on. probably trying to get more media attention and potentially more money from the donors. so the field isn't crowded right now. she isn't a threat, but nobody expected. donald trump, to be a threat to anybody back in 2016 and yet he got elected. so this is a very open race, and the big question mark is whether nikki haley will be able to get more traction . and what the reaction will be when the field gets more crowded. one thing is for sure, because that's mathematics. the more crowded the republican field gets, the better it is for donald trump to be a wild card once again in 2024. well, the red carpet is being rolled out in berlin, head of the opening of one of the world's biggest public film festivals, the 73rd berlin ali kicks off on thursday with 19 movies vying for the golden and
