Also the sour frances in boston or flies home from the chair after weeks of protest and the jupiter telling him to go was all the majority to shop with thousands of armenians. And using this rule from other territory into our meetings at arms assembly with your sports morocco is name is a host nations with twits 25 african couple of nations. And a 13 year old scape pool to becomes chinas youngest, going to middle is at the age and get the thank you very much for joining us. You know that being held in Northern Iraq, where at least 93 people have been killed and doesnt injured in a fire at a wedding, investigate as i searching the remains of the building for clues as to what happened. The interior administer says 9 people have been arrested. Ill just say it was my mood. Ive done. What had begins coverage from having done the to a supposed to be one of the most magical knights of the cup of the lives. In the midst of their wedding celebrations, happiness and its daintily turned into hard on the flyer to through the packed whos the witnesses described the video catching quiet in seconds. Then there to go to this little they were about to do a slow down, and then they lit up this thing for the dogs which caught fire flow service. Many who survived the child device, the bid boons and even serious condition. I get the most that i came to the hospital enough for a while, they called me and i was told that 22 members of my family have been like that. So i came here and search for them. And once i found them that would transfer to most oh, how is it . Condition was critical which happened in the minority region of the name of a province in Northern New York state. Mediately posted, the building was made of highly flammable materials. Thought a chill out of them. I was sitting with my family inside the banquet hall when i saw flame erupt from the fireworks. I immediately took my family and ran out. But i lost my mother. She was in the bathroom when the police broke out and it was too late to save her. The entire place burned to the ground with seconds. We should say the fire is being investigated. It was under 0 and my mood joins is not live from home. Then am i moved . I understand youre not far from the cemetery. I imagine a lot of grief where you watched a indeed immense grief. Indeed, we have spoken to the victims, families to eat. Some of them have lost it of 6 family members, including women and children. Some have lost loved ones and they were on accounting for and accounted for because as you know, some of the victims, the debt had been completely charged by fire to the extent that it is become difficult for a forensic teams to, to identify them even to get their dna, what now standing get just close to the the symmetry of that is eviction. Thats where dozens of victims, the dead victims were. Barrett were laid to rest. But people here are very angry as you know, that they blame concert and sort of this as they say you for not doing enough to guarantee the safety of the, the civilians and in it and re, to the authorities here say that it is fire works. Its reckless behavior spike, some of that didnt attendees that ignited the 1st the flame. But then yet that looks victims families here say that thats the other fact. So it has contributed to that at the spread of fire in the wedding cold, including at the lack of safety measure, the lack of a fire extinguisher and get at the tools and also the lack of exit doors. On top of that, that usage of fully mobile materials and construction of such a building is a include things that we didnt get home that had the fire at excessive bathing, igniting, and the spreading all over the place. Right . A lot of grief, as you say, a lot of anger as well, and many questions, of course, as to what caused this, why and what led to this high depth tool. I imagine my, who that they are people who have survived, displays and have sustained injuries. How are they being taken care of and is the city where you are able to cope with the type of injuries that some of these people have sustained as well, even that even survivors, those who were injured, they have another yet. So another episode of suffering because the also with this you have been now said that the medical facilities are sort of medical equipment and they cannot accommodate that number of the injured cases. So if some of the cases were transferred to other provinces neighboring provinces to receive it and to receive medical treatment in other neighboring get provinces. But generally speaking, there it seems that there is no there is no readiness on the local authorities living on the state. And institutions living here in how many a and in the name of a promise, in general. But by the way, this is not only in this province, but as you know, that the fire accidents have been frequent in recent years across the country. And that is this, the same causes the same reason as because usage of flame mobile materials and construction of medical at facility. Just you know, that fee is a go up a hospital, a set on, on fire and over 90 patients and their families would have killed and also a 2 years ago, another medical facility in southern iraq. And thats where you also was set on fire. And because of lose a job for the materials in the construction of that task, but so it that the, the fire was spread rapidly until over a 100 and coming to this it accident. I kind of do this. Actually people here are very, very angry. The blaming of the state institution for not doing get off to protect them as they say mom, always thank you very much for that. Ill just here is my mood that very well had reporting the life from home to me in iraqs name v providence. Thank you. For the update friend to more ahead on this challenges here and use our including waiting a cost the Rio Grande River to reach the us. We hear from the migraines making a dangerous journey from mexico, maybe 30 years since the end of a part, a 1000000 still dont have access to basic services. Ive had them with us in the eastern cape, one of the course preferences in morocco is main, does host of the advocate couple of nations football tournament in 2025 pico, have a details later in the american soldier who crossed in to north korea from the south is back in us custody after being expelled to china. 23 year old travis king, ron across the border from south korea in july, while on a guided tour is reported to have confess, illegally in shooting in to north korea. Oak reinstate media said can claim the crossover because of in humane maltreatment and Racial Discrimination in the us army. A spring in our white house correspondent, kimberly hawkins, who joins us now live on and use our so kimberly what more we hearing about the freight and whereabouts of this us so we can tell you is according to Us Administration officials, he is now in us custody in china and is in the process of being transferred to the United States, how that is going to take place. And when that will happen is not have mediately clear. But what we can tell you is that this will be happening. Now. What this is, is going to be a process that will be secondary in terms of making sure that the health is of primary importance in terms of this soldier, you will recall. But anyone who says following the story knows that when the soldier 1st crossed into north korea, he had actually been trying to evade allegedly, some charges that he was facing in the us military. One for alleged assault of 2 individuals in the military. And also kicking a police car that is now going to be something very separate because the us military now wants to focus on his well being. And also debriefing, given the fact that he has been in custody with a country that us does not have formal relations. Now terms of the fact that he has been in north korea for some time this, we should force out a case that was treated as the part of north korea as he legal immigration. This is never deemed a prisoner of war. We should also point out that in terms of why he was released, there is speculation that he was not held onto because it was deemed, but he was not valuable to the north koreans in terms of propaganda purposes. So this is something that is being followed very close. We, there is family, obviously very eager to get him back. But right now what we can tell you is that he is in china as he is according to administration. Officials expected to be returned to the United States, evidently. Kimberly, how could i have the white house . Thank you very much. Francis bassett or tanisha has landed back in paris a month after the military government ordered him out. The jazz president , mom advised, whom was overthrown in a cool in july, the new rulers ended military corporation with funds in order to some basset or envelopes to leave. That tasha butler has more on the reaction from powers for 2 weeks ago with the fridge presence. A manual micro have said that phones is on boss of the in the im a see you today was living as a virtual hostage in the, the embassy in the capital in the jet. Because he didnt have any freedom of movement. And also even freed supplies were running low. So clearly it was a situation that has become untenable. And earlier this week, micro all confirmed that the bus so would be full. The house is niga and also the, the phone. Some floss has 1500 troops from the country. Nevertheless, this is a real blow to paris to the government. And to my quote, because over the past few weeks, they have said to gain an a game that they do not consider a new Jersey Military rulers as a legitimate ssl, socrates, that they would not file to the demons. The withdrawal, french troops or the french. Im positive, but clearly what we have is the situation in which they have had to do both. And weve seen similar situations in all the countries in africa where falls has had colonial ties with has been crews with problems as being forced to changes position latasha popular ultra 0 power. And ill just, there is nicholas hockey is in the costs and a guy with more on french troops, field station denisha a. Were talking about 1500 soldiers. Most of them are in this military base in the capital in the im a, a mentoring based known as why no one. Well, they currently have not been allowed outside of their military base and theyre eating food rations, military rations. They havent been allowed to do any activity, much like the french ambassador being hold up inside the account there, and theyre still hundreds of people gathered outside calling for the french to get out. This is certainly a blow to the French Military presence in new share. Theyve been on the ground for over 50 years. It is also a moment where a lot of people in easier a questioning the relationship that new share has with friends on the security front, on the diplomatic front. But of course, also on the economic front because france is the largest extraction of uranium out of new share, 25 percent of uranium that is coming into into the European Union comes from new share itself. And it has recently found a new here has recently found the largest on tap reserve in him or our end of uranium. Uranium used to power the Nuclear Power plants in europe that are used to keep your opinions warm. Meanwhile, in easier, most people live on less than 2. 00 in the day and dont have access to electricity. And its this discrepancy that the money in the news here is military to and to are trying to address. And now, while fonts is relations with nisha, deteriorate, the United States continues to have a presence that they are around. 1100 us military personnel in the country. Theyve been working with the chevy and troops to count to onto groups in the saw have region. Last month, washington sent a new and basset to new share. The state Department Says kathleen fits gibbon has been sent to both. So efforts to resolve the political crisis. Us acting deputy secretary of state victoria noon and also visited me. Im a last month to try and find a diplomatic solution to the cool. Joining us now on the use our is b. So williams, whos a former Us Ambassador tunisia, shes lying from capitol hill in north carolina. Thank you very much. Miss williams, for being with us. For some reports have suggested that theres been a lot of frustration in paris over the way the us has been willing to engage with new jazz june to what is Washington Strategy right now on new share and are you as to whats going to step in and then fill the vacuum left by friends as well. Thank you for having me. My understanding is that washington is you, is that it is better to stay engaged in some kind of way then to answer leave. I believe that really, washington is trying to send 2 messages. The, the outside message, its politics is that they, they support a constitutional government. They supported assume as president. They wanted a return to the constitutional order. At the same time its actually off to instead he just made a speech recently and made a speech and kind of has made another one and then goal. And apparently today, where he has stress that the United States mission will remain to try to reinforce the importance of democracy in the importance of d, a. D, a, that military serve the people. Theyre there to protect the people and to do the peoples well as opposed to their own. Well, uh yet in the share there is um, an important uh, security relationship. So there will be aspects of that, but i think the United States is going to try to maintain interesting, i mean, what is ultimately the, the end game for washington . Cuz american choose certainly, were in subjected to the same treatment as a friendships. Why is the us designing team gauge with a june that over to a democratically elected leader, even dispatching an invoice in the im a and not calling this a cool. What is the us is interest . See, i think actually things of all david law slowly, unfortunately. And not has already gone to the advantage of the content in, in the share. But i do believe the United States has no option now, then to call what happened to crew. And i think youre going to do that when that restriction, uh, when that uh, name goes through. And then there will have to be a reduction of times of operation the United States has with new share. There will be caveats. Theyll probably hold us small cap out for certain kinds of military cooperation, but not for the full extent of military operations that have been passed. Why the nice states decide to do that . Uh, apparently the leadership now believes that its important to always stay in the are right now, always stay talking. And so they sent in on. Boy im, im not sure the name jersey investor yet officially to that government, but perhaps they will. Right now she is in some kind of a, a transfer, a trans traditional im a mediator kind of position. But i do believe its United States quite a continue to say that it was the return to constitutional order. Therefore, its political engagement, perhaps with differences in power will be mental. But to the extent there are important intelligence and or Real Security covering extremism activity that the United States can be helpful with. I think United States were engaged. Yeah. And this all seems have somewhat both said the position of the agenda in new jersey. The fact that front front as my out, the Americans Still on the ground. What about a crisis position . Miss williams . Where does this leave . The, the comic community of West African States which had threatened to intervene militarily needed to restore the democratically elected lead. And i think this is important to understand that the, the hunter has been very successful in changing the story. The rationale of what it did. Everybodys talking about friends or is talking about friends. Info is all the rest that this military takeover had nothing to do with france. But it is an easy distraction. And colonialism there. There are no, um, you werent going to find any proconsul colonialism anywhere. So its an easy and unfortunately devastating distraction for the news or in people and i and do as far as eco ross. I do believe that the policy of gloss was really firm and that they wanted to come in and put down the content. I think unfortunately they had to knock last printers you knew really nigeria discovered that she did not really was not playing for judas commander in chief of his own forces. And he and his people perhaps a lot of that northern border with the share. So were not going to be supportive of nigerian involvement in military intervention. Perhaps had he had more of good stuff and had really tried to explain his position to explain where they are doing. Things might have ended up differently. I believe the other countries in of the eco last Community Still wanted to have intervention, but you cant do it because they were not going to be able to do it without the new jerry and the Nigerian Forces also participating. So this is one of these instances where the idea was right the will was there, but the ability to affect your will with lacking the cost part. Very interesting to hear your thoughts about this. Thank you so much for joining us on knowledge. Is there a visa williams, a former Us Ambassador to new share . Thank you. More than 47000 s me call medians of now 5. My go know kind of back that softer as a by johnny forces took control of the break away region in enlightening military operation.

We left everything via we just lift the homes on september 19th at mid day because of the war. Wed been told we had to leave because the enemy was approaching and no one stayed in the village. Now were in this situation. As all media tries to accommodate all those who fled many coming to terms with the destruction of a project that began in 1988. That was when the on meetings of kind of boxes try to break away from soviet as a, by a good one. Not good is we dont know why we will think tonight, last name is the one i just cant imagine the future, my thoughts a mix. Now, i dont know what we will do as home and i blame as a by john. They captured our land and forced us out from our village from our month of land. And now were like this many of those here. So they said ethnic cleansing, if they stayed in car back claims, dismissed as nonsense by as a, by john about johns cafeteria. And the going to kind of back as triggered one of the biggest movements of people in this region. Just the full of the soviet union. The governments impact who has repeatedly said it guarantees the security i. Bethany call meetings who prefer to staples and theres no one here willing to take up a lot of bonus smith. Ill just a rough gars. All media has of i john meanwhile says it lost a 192 military personnel during its 24 hour operation to take control of my god know kind of back last week. Well, some of been drive. It is in the city of shoes shop with one that its an emotional journey for tens of thousands of people and they take this road coming from to find that good are fun, can be going to the life in the car door into, i mean, yeah, packing whatever they can and leaving in whatever vehicle they can find and those that do not work with them all the way, leaving them on the side of the road with all that was packed on it. It is also an important day for us. Everybodys on these who are commemorating to the 2020 waterville armenia, which their military, one and Armenian Forces were pushed back as they are come emanating it by children going to school with slides and flowers as people coming to pay respect to their loved ones. Not just this war, but theyve lost a lot in the last few decades. And the scars active for the congestion wanted to well. So it was 19, i still remember who was murdered on the 16th of august. I am happy because of our martyrs. We got back her land, husband, i do not want revenge. You think . Yes you us and it is not just the emotional cost. The military says that it has lost a 192. 00 of its Service Members in the latest operation that it carried out. And more than 500 have been wounded as well. It just goes to show what otherwise i knew officials have been tending us in the beginning that they were actually surprised with the kind of weaponry that they had found the kind of munitions they had found. And the preparedness that they found would because separate this ethnic, i mean the and fighters who have now agreed to dis, laid down their weapons and agreed that administrative control of hold it off god about the region is going to be with positive identity forces. Some of the jobs out of there. Sure, sure. At top us senator and his wife has arrived in new york or taft are being indicted on bribery charges. Prosecutors say bob manenda is on his spouse, accepted thousands of dollars from 3 new jersey businessman to certainly help you gyptian government. The democrat has stepped down from his role as chairman of the Senate Foreign relations committee, but says he believes he will be fully exonerated. Thats get more from given elizondo whos outside the court in new york for us before we talk about whats going to happen. Just give us the background to this case, gave the yeah, this is really a salacious case if you will. If you believe prosecutors, they claim that the senator of Robert Menendez has been serving in the senate for 3 terms. But before that was in congress for nearly 3 decades serving the state of new jersey. According to the indictment he, along with his wife, were passing along messages to m e. Gyptian American Business man. That was been sending those messages and information on to the gyptian military. Essentially what is happening here is egypt, according to prosecutors, was concerned about potentially losing some of the 1500000000. 00 they receive and military aid every year from you did states. So what was trying to get favorable representation in congress and found that with sen menendez with one time served on the powerful Senate Foreign relations committee. They were saying that menendez would send along messages saying that he would vote for continued funding for egypt, and then pass those messages on to this business man who would send them onto the egyptian government. Menendez is here with his wife. Inside the court room. You see behind me for he is expected to plead not guilty and discharge. So what has he been saying about all this menendez well, nearly 20 lawmakers and his colleagues, including democrats, have called for him to resign due to the seriousness of these charges. But he has said that he will not resign and that he is not guilty of these charges against him. This is a little bit more of what you have to say throughout my 30 years in the house of representatives and to send it. I have always worked to hold accountable those countries, including egypt for human rights abuses, repression of a citizenry, civil society, and more to those who now are attempting to my line. My actions as it relates to egypt, simply dont know the facts. Now prosecutors have what they say is a very strong case. They claim that when they rated his house earlier this month, they found more than 500000. 00 in cash and a safe, 13 gold bars and a mercedes that they say, or gifts, either from egypt and for the gyptian interlock as they were working on the governments house, now if this case goes to trial, is that trial would most likely happen next year. And if convicted, the senator could serve many years behind bars. Okay, thank you for that given and some of the live there in new york city. Staying in the us, the bought a ton of ego passed in texas has extended a state of emergency, has thousands of migraines, himself, and Central America costs into the us every day. Officials say 230000 people attempted to cross the border in august alone. Ill just hear his heidis will cost to report some ego. Theyre already in america. Having passed the middle of the Rio Grande River between the us and mexico, these migrant families have waited into us territory only to find a stick it of sharp wires locking them from us sending the river bank. They decide it wont stop them. The look of terror on this girl space is matched by the determination on her fathers this woman struggles for words. This girl from doris gotten mixed by the razors her father quickly comes to her aid. Real simple, it is painful. But we have to find relief that we see for our lives in home to rest. We come to humbly ask for asylum to sometimes us Border Patrol. Agents. Take pity and help. A cheerful 2 year old crosses the wires and the arms of an agent. His mother is grateful and he just doesnt like being held by anyone else, but her she says theres a brief respite and the people who are just trapped behind this razor wire have all been rescued by us Border Patrol. But this opening still exists. And so we have a rare opportunity to peak behind the razor wire to see just what the circumstances are. The hill is steep and slippery. The sun burns hot. People somehow pass the night here before the rescue for just as quickly as Border Patrol agents who report to Washington Open defense to allow people through soldiers who report to the state of texas. Quickly, close the fence back up. Easy easy. Im confused because we just saw the Border Patrol cutting through this wire. Why are you guys putting back more . No comments. The governor of texas says such determined are needed because the by the administration is failing to secure the border. The chief of us Border Patrol defended his agencies actions tuesday to ask why men and women to sit there and watch them to come to the environment to ask them to watch them, get swept away by the river to ask them to watch women and children drown is not something i or anybody else, whatever do these migrants are on their way to find Border Patrol agents to turn themselves in and to make asylum claims. These others had the poor luck of meeting state police 1st, and so faced a different reception handcuffs and a forced march. Behind, then still more people are crossing the river. They take one obstacle at a time, celebrating each step toward their goal. A. Hi, did joe castro, elda 0 e go past texas. Try it on the news. Are we look at the vicious project to miss philippines, to revive the worlds most polluting vapor . And we report from the border between germany and poland after bending and mount so strictly a control st. Sports school. The each section from the asian games, as house china continued to dominate the will shoot competition. Stay with us for back after the the, they often get big contrast in temperatures across studies. Small areas in south america is one taking place. There was the stove, folding down here. Youve got most of, of, of option to run to be fine and boom. And then a certain fields of tons, degrees, but that doesnt look surprising to accept you think 2 days goes by 40 degrees and the fortys moved up more to the northeast and all this eastern sides of the zoo fast. The dividing line is a cold front winds. Coming from the side of the temperatures will drop along that line, the refund, the stones, that had to it, its pretty well, the thunder comes in, it drops down to the rear. Well see a dropping temperature and it will be wet for a couple of days with quite a strong on show, pres, not particularly peasant. And if you remember the bases on the beach, if any, or a couple of days ago, they might be doing that on thursday. And friday i can show you and also know about those, what quads again, there are some big shows breaking up over what has been a fairly warm pa from those and result and big shows showing themselves maybe in those in peru, weston pulse of columbia. I think a pretty significant flooding thing might get to flash. I think this is robert heavier stuff moving into places like nicaragua, possibly home jewish, and a lot of takes you up to florida and again, possibly eastern atlanta, heavy cheryls here and a few still possible in the midwest of the system youve been coming to add any International Anti corruption excellence award, nominates your hero now. Critical debate. Instead of trying to externalize the management of this problem in teaching is here to the, to other countries to europe. The Member States should be trying to take control of this issue themselves. Inside story on al jazeera, the, the, [000 00 00;00] the, youre watching these out on, on tuesday, or i would need for you back to a reminder about top stories. If you nodes are being held in Northern Iraq where at least 95 people have been killed in Dozens Injured after 5 broke out that a wedding investigators are searching for tunes as to what happened. 9 people have been arrested. The french ambassador to the jazz landed in paris the months after the military government ordered him out. Coordinators in the jazz ended the military corporation with funds and ordered. Its a master and troops to me. And more than 47000. 00 as a medium refugees. Ive slept in a go know kind of box and costing to our media as a by john to controller reads from last week after the seating as the comment and find was any 24 hour rich and out of world news gemini, has announced it will increase controls on its borders with poland and the Czech Republic to prevent a more migraine some entering. The interior minister said the new measures will begin immediately. The announcement came a day after police raids and jeremy found more than a 100 syrian citizens. They were inside a plump and search in connection with a smuggling ring. More details the speak to one corresponding dominic cane whos on the german polish border. So tell us more about these measures. Theyre introducing and why of the these measures are being introduced specifically says not to face of the entire administer to crack down on people smuggling, some numbers of people. She says that have been coming into germany through people smuggling have really been on the increase and in recent months, in particular, in august alone, 67 percent more people are arriving illegally printed in the previous august. So that is why she says its time to act. Where am i right now . Im in the city all signed for. Im the oldest on the border with a published several months of compete. So behind me, and while ive seen via calls have been coming and going for people coming and going across the bridge, which is the border with no checks whatsoever in the last few seconds. A police flexible motive all team has arrived and they say that going to perform some sort of Border Control here. But its not really here where the government wants to stop the people smugglers. Its what they call the shap, from to the particularly focused areas for us. So many people come across, they say thats why theyre acting today. And whats been the reaction done of the full the issue here is to look at who had been answered facing for this move. The Police Federation had been saying us from the entire country, which i have been saying for some considerable time, that they were losing control and that was possible to save, also being faithful. Elected officials in different states. The folder problems in the Czech Republic thing. We feel as i say, many people are coming, we are back in the 2015 refugee crisis. The numbers done by about 5 of those. Definitely that sense amendments. Something has to be done amongst the elected officials in those sites. The key question here is, is it going to be possible for the German Government to control and police a frontier between the 2 other countries part of and shut the check or public . That is more than 15600 kilometers long for is this gesture politics. Lots of questions. The police are actually checking people. Now, as i see in front of me front of the camera, police check them out. I think we wont be able to show that right the seconds that it shows they are sensitive to what is being said. Theyre trying to make decisions, trying to effect change. But there are a lot of people to come across across these photos legally. So the police dont know who they are at least now. You can see Police Officers here fall, going to be pushing some sort of track in to say its not really a tossing point on this. That the problem really exists except those 1600 kilometers of frontier. Not this frontier here, but like across this country. But people suddenly smugglers on coming across and the minister says its fun to watch. Thank you for that dominey can reporting that live from the german polish border to the 1st step in the fraud tried against former us present. Donald trump has just taken place in new york. Trump and his 2 sons were found liable for fraud on tuesday. And the Trump Organizations business certificates were canceled. They are accused of inflating the value of their assets and net worth to get better terms on bank loans and insurance from called the ruling unfair and said it was a politically motivated which christian sonoma is holding the case for us from new york. So what does this mean then pricing for the former president and his business as well . This decision will have major implications for the Trump Organization and its ability to operate here in new york at the heart of this business. If it is an overturned on appeal and certainly the former president and his lawyers have indicated that they are likely to appeal the decision. But nonetheless, having business certificates. Revoked means that the president could lose control of some of his Flagship Properties like trump tower. Here in manhattan and his golf course, outside of the city and the well the suburbs and so on. The attorney general that filed this lawsuit on behalf of the people of new york is also asking for a 250000000. 00 fine, which is a pretty hefty fine. But the judge has not ruled on that aspect of the case, yet he is actually taking this case to trial next week, where he will decide on more specific charges that were levied by the attorney general. And what fine if any, he will impose on the former president , but in issuing this summary judgement ahead of the trial, he was essentially saying that he doesnt need any more evidence to find the basic premise of this lawsuit as true. Basically that the former president had fraudulently inflated his business assets for the purpose of getting more favorable loans and insurance and things like that. Now since this is a civil case, the president is not at risk of phasing any jail time. However, the Financial Impact could be very, very serious for him and his business politically. Well, he is facing for other criminal cases as well. He has a lot of legal issues that hes dealing with. The other cases are criminal, whereas this one is civil, including one in georgia that accuses him of interfering in the election in 2020, which to boss. None of these criminal cases have affected his popularity with republicans. Hes still the leading republican candidate, but this case gets to the heart of his image as a successful businessman, the image that helped him get elected in the 1st place. And again, the Financial Impact of this decision on his business could be quite substantial. Christian, thank you to columbia now where protesters are gathering in the capital bogota to demonstrate against the deteriorating security situation. Indigenous communities. We administer the ends of a civil society, demanding Congress Move forward with present gustavo, petra, social, and economic reforms. The protest comes just a month before Regional Election said being seen as a referendum on colombia 1st leftist government.
