this fire broke out in an emergency room in a hospital in the southern city of meir young at around seven thirty am local time the fire was extinguished by just before ten thirty am local time but dozens of people were injured and the fear is that the death toll could rise further president moon has said this is an extremely regrettable situation and all of the attention now must be put towards those critically injured patients who were in this hospital about one hundred people in the hospital itself and then another ninety six in an adjacent building known here as a nursing hospital that is a kin to a hospice we understand that all ninety six patients in that adjacent building were evacuated safely and the fears are for the people in the hospital itself questions will be being asked about safety at that hospital as an investigation continues into the cause of this fire just about a month ago twenty nine people were killed when a fire broke out at a fitness center in the south of the country the u.s. president is insisting millions of dollars in american aid will be withheld from palestin

meeting in september in h.l.c. or we could try to convene an early and extraordinary meeting even though it's the first time this has been tried the response from the parties in the region has been very positive and i think that we are entering into this meeting today on a realistic but even though positive note because it seems like everyone has the interests of trying to make the most out of a very difficult situation and just because the situation is so difficult that is also the reason why it is so important that we meet at this time around the table when we enter into the meeting room we will have all the key actors all the key players who are vital to contribute to restarting the peace process again and we have all the actors and all the players who can also make sure that there are changes on the ground and improvements on the ground the reason for convening this meeting is as frederica has been pointing out to. there is a need for the international community to recommit to a common strategy of building the

philadelphia. 4 in trenton. 1 in allentown, 5 in wilmington and 5 in millville. as we go through the day, it's going to be a chilly one. not as cold as yesterday, yesterday's high, 27. it felt worst with the strong blustery winds. 31 by 1:00 p.m. i'm expecting a high of 32 at 3:00 p.m. you can see how the clouds get thicker as we go through the day. the windchills will be a factor for those of you doing outdoor volunteer activities. you want to bundle up. it will feel like the teens at noon, there are the 8 to 16-mile an hour. we're track a clipper system coming at us tomorrow with a little bit of light snow not heavy accumulations, but being in traffic can be problematic, that looks like it comes in tomorrow afternoon, i'll have the details coming up. >> reporter: a little bit is sometimes worse if you have a nice day it's a dry day. looking at the schuylkill expressway, no problems on the schuylkill expressway. blue route, schuylkill expressway, i-95 in good shape of we have a huge accident involving an overturned vehicle on the schuylkill expressway in the ove

we were successful in lifting that in december of 2015. there was some speculation at the time that not much would change in terms of the volume of oil that's exported from the united states due to the price of oil, due to the need for infrastructure improvements, other global supply factors. we haven't necessarily seen that, we haven't seen the price impacts, haven't seen the supply shortages that some claimed. can you discuss how the export of u.s. oil has changed the world dynamic? you referenced earlier in response to the question from senator cantwell how, with more lng that the united states has put out there on that global market, how that has impacted not only europe, russia. but can you speak to the role that we are playing in the world energy markets now that we are able to export? >> of course, madam chair. so december 2015 you took this, in my view, a very good decision. >> thank you. >> to lifting the u.s. oil export ban. because we look after the global energy security, a very positive contribution to global energy security.

the united states in europe, certainly in japan, that reversal in a very, very short order really in terms of the energy spectrum worldwide, and now moving that over to china and russia were we had not seen that much of a significant presence. it's really kind of an interesting phenomenon that it is moved as quickly and as, i would say, dramatically as it has in terms of moving the energy portfolios around. i wonder whether, and i'm just going to, talk it off the top of my head here, but but i wondern increased role and presence in russia, in china particularly, will promote or spur the united states to renew its efforts within the nuclear space, or whether we continue to seed and take a backseat. it's not something that i think has been good. i greatly appreciate the role that nuclear plays in providing for, not only a reliable power source, but a clean power source. and i regret that we are losing the skilled workforce, the level of leadership that we played not only from the production perspective but how we then export the technologies and the smart people that come behind them.

this but i think we need to bring in the also the domestic political elements in turkey in order to explain why this diplomatically very challenging military leave very risky and politically very problematic operation and why it is happening now because president i don't say our party is alliance with. right wing political groups in turkey the far right political parties and secularist nationalist required this kind of offensive against the kurds and also it will help probably poor politically present out on to galvanize and mobilize his the masses behind him for the two thousand and nineteen election missa why it's the americans now a fait face a challenge here on one hand they consider the wipe easy to be the the most legitimate ally in the fight against isis in syria but at the same time they cannot afford to further upset another regional ally of the region which is turkey what what are the options now for the americans. yes this is been a longstanding problem with the u.s. operations in both iraq and more recently syria and i wouldn't say that what they consider what the jim g.

in iran in 2006, 2018. after the 2006 visit, i was fascinated by the uranian room that's becoming an issue of intent . and i thought this is the perfect setting for a novelist and i wrote a novel called the increments which kept in real life. but an imaginary iranian nuclear scientist and every one of the cia calls a virtual walking. on its website, the cia says if you have something to tell us, just do it and they get a lot of people coming in from defense and a lot of people coming in from iran that's how that novel began. it ends up describing the assault on the iranian supply chain. that is eerily like what we've learned to call, that's one where just making some lucky guesses i ended up being trained, it was more factional than i realized at the time. that's an example where readers read my columns when i was there. what they didn't know is i was taking every piece of kind of pocket litter i can find, every map, every guidebook. every restaurant i knew and strolling them all away and bring you back hom

in. the high prices that really put me under pressure. iran's leaders say some protesters may have been provoked by foreign countries but they say they believe most are demanding more freedoms been as every man in my opinion we can't say whoever is taking to the streets has orders from other countries there might be a handful so it's not like people have come to the streets to say that we want money bread and water you know they have other demands as well as allowing a freer environment us. president donald trump has tweeted that iranians are hungry for food and freedom and that's led to protests outside the white house demanding the removal of president rouhani on monday night protesters also continue to demonstrate against iran's support for syrian president bashar al assad as well as in lebanon and hamas in the occupied palestinian territories iran's republican guard is threatening to stop the demonstrations but there are still calls for more protests rob matheson algis in. south korea

it's a next big thing in the watch in this route.to secondhand sales we should look to the car industry where all the brands also sell their own secondhand cards until recently trade in secondhand watches was handled by others everyone is involved except for the brands themselves which i believe is commercial nonsense. but new watches are still the mainstay and with consumer demand ticking over nicely luxury is still the watchword. and now to a somewhat less exuberant topic tensions between israelis and palestinians are on the rise soon you've got that story that's right monica palestinian leaders i have voted to suspend ties with israel the palestinian liberation organization central council announced that it will no longer adhere to existing agreements with israel including the also peace accords the council is the second highest decision making body in the palestinian territories it wants israel to recognize a palestinian state and the meeting came and were sponsored to u.s. president donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as isr

troops in syria? we see a rapid increase in the number of u.s. troops, i believe the number now is close to 2000, at least it's been reported about that. what is the role for u.s. development assistance working with other countries. we know there's no other military-only solution here. how will american diplomacy play out? what is russia's role here in the future. will it be effective in preventing mr. assad from being held accountable for his war crimes? where is our concern about iran and developing a land bridge between tehran and beirut which certainly affects israel's security. on each of these issues, the administration appears to view syria through a military lens, make decisions on troop levels and military mission s in a policy vacuum. for example, at a pentagon press briefing last year, the american public was informed that the united states will sustain a conditions-based military presence in syria after the defeat of isis. however, the administration has provided no information to congress or the american people about the conditions u

women are also used in formula 1, in boxing and so on.ose sports as well? well, honestly, it's not my call, because i'm not a sports fan. i watch boxing a couple of times and i think it probably sends the wrong message, now that women are getting more involved in the world of boxing at the olympics, to have women also just be standing there looking pretty, rather than being fighters. which is what, i think women are more interested in doing now. yeah, ido more interested in doing now. yeah, i do think it sends the wrong message. apparently 16,000 people think otherwise, but 16,000 people have the right to express their sexist opinions, we live in a free country. i was going to ask you exactly that, people are signing this petition to get this decision on women in darts reversed, what would you say about them?” on women in darts reversed, what would you say about them? i mean, sure, look, if you want... i think that having these kind of roles for women is sexist and old—fashioned. a lot of people in this country like sexist, old—fashioned

in the heights in the refugee crisis still in place despite the calling for them to end on the e.u. rules controls can be put in place but only for a limited time and some countries are reluctant to give up those controls. from an open border for refugees to a closed border for anyone not carrying a passport or a swedish identity card sweden's policy on opening its gates to asylum seekers during the crisis of twenty fifteen is long gone. but police checks on the train from denmark don't seem to be going anywhere soon the sun bridge between copenhagen . was the main entry point for more than a hundred sixty thousand people who applied for asylum in sweden and twenty fifteen that flow has now dried up on the law allowing restrictions has expired but sweden is one of the countries citing security as a reason for the controls to continue. the closure of the balkan routes has led to a huge drop in the number of refugees arriving in europe yet sweden france germany austria norway and denmark have all continued to impose controls on that front he is god. those restrictions legally expired

living in small the warnings in the band sort of a to see possibly even in even a in some areas there's no one size fits all it will just depend on how many of the long properties in age there are in any given local authority area which would then give local authorities you see to load the burden there but it would have to then be agreed in a referendum on that the two thousand and eleven localism act should be getting that democratic buy and people would have to vote for it but the choice would be either a construct increase across the board of six percent or for most people freeze it and stop the cuts the alternative is increase if everybody and continue with the cuts i think that's a pretty good deal and a stopgap measure which is well worth considering where is that idea right now than when the labor party policy is something that came up in my local authority area following the latest iteration of the cuts in dalby the council's plan to close a lot was given over to the third sector a lot of local people were asking me what i was going to do about it it's true that this idea came.

that's what's going to result in people staying in investing in those committees. there are a lot of other things that i can talk about to address some of the specifics of your question and comment but i butt want address this sort of larger issue that you're raising and some broader concepts that we need to be focusing on to address them. >> let me just piggybacked off a bit on what congressman brown said in response to this. because we are right now of course in congress tried to deal with the budget for the remainder of the current fiscal year, and one of the things we're all working on is to try to make sure that we provide adequate investments in areas that help drive our economy, whether it's great more opportunities to education, whether it's to investments like transportation, whether it's community development block grant. i think we all believe that as a make investments to make sure our military range strong we also need to make investments that make sure neighborhoods, our community, our country has a strong economy. part of that is making sure local co
