yet stx after an agreement fresh snow. between paris and.

first millions of people are still without an. city in question rico a week the heart can maria slammed into the on drinking water is also in short supply. when the us president donald trump has been criticized for not paying attention to the disaster. now says he will visit the u. s. commonwealth next week with more not let's go to washington across one of philip rather is that. i think trip was quickly to visit texas and florida following the m. hurricane damage that why has it been taking him so long to get to puerto rico. well you know the reason usually given is that's a president shouldn't really go to. a hurricane recovery effort because he might get. in the way but speed did go very very quickly to florida and to texas. and to louisiana and he's taking a

long time ago to put a recap in fact he's taking a very long time. to show that he israeli engaged and that his administration is engaged in helping the three point f fe million u. s. citizens who live in puerto rico very large parts of the u. s. mainland population. in fact doesn't know thahat the inhabitants are put to rico are us citizens hence why he is expected to be involved. over the last few days we've seen a president more preoccupied with other things. a talking on twitter and it any occasion he's been given about at the nfl american football players proof testing are on the sidelines small preoccupied with a health care votes that. in the end failed now though. the white house seems to want to show that it is getting to grips with things and put a recurrent though the government that the local government. certainly is stretch right now the federal government's is sending aid from fema that's the federal emergency

management agency bottled water and meals for example. the people of puerto rico are clearly not happy with what they are getting strangely enough though what we are seeing from the leaders there. is a lot of praise for each other that a condo to say all the governor of puerto rico says he is getting what he wants from the us president. the us president says he is very happy with the praise he is getting from the pleasure rican governor. they will be meeting on tuesday of next week that it's been exactly a week now since hurricane maria brought so much destruction to put aririca. and philip welll well almose island three point five million americans without

electricity at the time it also left almost all of those. inhabitants of puerto rico without water now around half of the population has access. to water but already put a rico was an island with bad infrastructure with a bat electrical grid with. very very big debt as well in other words this was a place where it when catastrophe. strikes will it brings even more trouble than it would to a place like florida at all texas of for example so the us presidents. will be going to put a rico on tuesday what a president tends to do is look at the damage try to meet with those. are who have been affected now the problem right now in puerto rico is getting to those people who are affected outside of the capital someone is actually. very very difficult indeed will have to wait and see whether the president is

even able to get to those areas that are still without electricity and many of them also. without running water philip thank you very much and if it because of their reporting from washington. now the official results are in new following monday's referendum in northern iraq would maybe ninety percent voted yes to into to take cl rich region of kirkuk. promise to hide a body has lost its condition officials to immediately scrapped plans for independence. eleven by the fact that bob unfortunately this referendum opens the door to in you struggle either. that's why we reject tests. as long as he remained a partner in the governmentntf iriraq. we will remain your partner encourages time. the equation must work in this way. i might pick any could add up but if you decide to intervene in the affairs of all around. and impose a tax on the arab inhabitants living in kurdistan.

why will not six actors? i mop. like correspondents manifolds in is in up in an earlier she told us what will happen now the results of that historic vote sarin. kurdistan is certainly not going to just declare independence overnight what crystals president muscled barzani wants is to use this overwhelming support for independence. a to begin negotiating with bug out that a path to secession which he said could take you know a year or or or to use even. but of course he's absolutely not on the same page with. iraqi prime minister haider al abadi on that. but god has said that they will not accept to begin negotiations for secession proverbial they are willing to sort out the differences between our beyond bug that. under a plan that was proposed by the united states the united kingdom and the united nations. about which was efforts effectively be a un supervised negotiation

between the two sides to resolve. their differences but independence would not be an option in that by instead of but that is now flexing its muscles they have. put for a number of conditions. to the kurdish i government for example to hand over control over its borders by. resulting in independence and soon to with this pressure from baghdad and from other countries in the region. really stepping up on the kurds are they hoping to get more international support and is there any sign that they will get tha. well they believe that the international community will eventually come around. it's interesting because president must have bars on a mentioned. in a press conference a few days ago that. a similar thing occurred in nineteen ninety two when a

cortisone first declared its autonomy back then he said there was also a lot of international opposition. by but eventually the international community accepted it so they believe that. this. this houston tonight opposition to. but the international community will come around but there is no site for that at all the united states for example. issued a statement after the referendum went ahead with their deeply disappointed that they will. in support to a federal iraq and that will support the constitution that was a draft that in two thousand five which essentially. foresees that produced on will remain part of iraq so for now there is no sign of the international community changing its stance. and without that it's really difficult to see how kurdistan could declare independence. simona fourteen that reporting and and now in a related development turkish jets have a struck a target in northern iraq killing thirteen a suspected members of the kurdish pkk that's according to the turkish army. the pkk has been waging an insurgency in

turkey's mainly kurdish southeast for decades but it also has spaces. across the border in northern iraq which tacky regularly targets and a techie in iraq have been stepping up joint belichick's sizes in the region as well following. monday's referendum. now the taliban has claimed responsibility for missile attack on kabul's international airport. which happened just hours after the arrival of the us defense secretary jim mattis he's in afghanistan to renewed washington support for the government in its fight against extremists the us. is changing strategy once again sixteen years after the conflicts began franklin reports. a homeless stick approach to a seemingly endless conflic. shortly after u. s. secretary of defense james matters and nato chief jens stoltenberg landedd a couple airport. rockets struck the complex in an attack claimed by both the taliban and its rival the islamic state group. district undermines the challenges at the u. s. re commits to the fight in
