They are getting some support, Something Like 150 usd a month for families these are families of six, seven people, but that is just not enough for them to survive on.

Belgian investigators have found an apartment in brussels that may have served as a bomb factory for last years paris attacks. The app parment may have also been used as a hideout by the suspect who is still at large. The attack on the french capitol in november left 130 people dead. Jacky rowland sent us this update. Reporter Belgian Police made the discovery on december the 10th, but they are only choosing to make the information public now. Inelse have gators searched a flat in the scarbeck neighborhood of brussels. It had been rented by someone using a fault name. And inside police found some vests, belts, that they said could have been used for explosive suicide vests. They also found residue of explosives, and a fingerprint matching that of the suspect from the november the 13th attacks who is still on the run. Now, the police are saying, although they have found this fingerprint, they are not in a position to establish when think fingerprint was left. Fingerprints dont come with a time or a date attached to them. So there are two possible scenarios, maybe more. One is that this flat could have been used as a suicide vest manufacturing workshop, given the presence of these halfmade belts and also the explosives residue. Another possible is that the suspect could have used the flat to lie low after the attacks, because investigators have already revealed that friends of the suspect drove him from paris back to brussels on the night after the attacks. And another suspect has told Belgian Police that he drove him to the scarbeck neighborhood on november 14th. So quite a few theories there, but the police dont know for southern yet.

The british forge secretary urged south korea to show restraint. But its not clear how north korea will react. The north might also respond by taking hostages, for example, tourists or ngo groups that work in north korea. These guys are sometimes taken hostage for pseudo crimes against the state.

We understand he was shot dead after Police Received a tipoff that he was hiding in a building near his own familys village in the north of israel. According to police when he tried to exit the building, he opened fire on officers, officers returned fire and that is when he was killed. Police are also saying that none of their Police Personnel were killed. And it really just caps off again this 8day manhunt for this man who is alleged to have killed two people in a mass shooting at a bar in telaviv and then a taxi driver who is said to have taken him from telaviv to the north of the country. Now the Israeli Police and Security Services have been deeply criticized over the past several days for their failure to find him in the hours after the attack. In fact were now over a week since the attack and now he has been found and killed, and many many the israeli public, again, have been very critical of the Police Services for not being able to find him. But again, now he has been found and shot dead by israeli forces. What more do we know about him, the man himself . Reporter well, the israeli media have painted a picture of a very troubled young man, a man who as we have been saying grew up in the north of israel in a palestinian village. He has served time in prison for trying to remove a weapon off of a soldier. It is said the reason he tried to do that was in retaliation of the death of a cousin who was killed in an altercation with Israeli Police, and he is also just described as a man who has largely been quite troubled, still coming from a family who is relatively integrated within israeli society. His father who its believed he took the gun from is a volunteer with the Israeli Police. Now according to Israeli Police, the gun that he used not only in the attack on new years day, but also just a few hours ago in which he was killed was that same weapon, it was a registered weapon, still it raises questions about the use of firearms in israel especially at this time, in which we have seen months of violence, starting in october of this year. Most of that violence, which has been carried out by palestinians has usually involved knives and car rammings. The police have been very careful not to connect the actions allegedly carried out by him to that violence, although they have described him specifically as a terrorist, they havent described his mass shooting and the killing of a taxi driver as a terrorist offense or nationalist offense, so again, the Israeli Police are describing this as a victory, still Big Questions as to why it took them so long to find him, and perhaps more specifically for them, what the true motive was.
