today. thanks for joining us. i'm ali velshi, see you next time on real money. >> hello, welcome to the newshour. i'm here from doha. coming up in the program - pakistan's high ranking general is assassinated putting peace talks with the taliban in gepp di. egypt's military parade captured in a big operation in the signied. >> images of the "costa cordia" as engineers prepare for the

biggest salvage operation attempted. >> i'm here with the sports, including floyd mayweather lives up to his nickname money with a record-breaking fight. details later in the program. >> high ranking pakistani general has been assassinated near the afghan border. he was a senior solder to be killed. his death could jeopardise peace talks. we are joined from istanbul. this assassination coming at an important time for the pakistani army. >> absolutely, coming at a time when the government said they'd beginning a significant amount

of military forces from several districts. however, this morning, the general that you mentioned who was known as the general officer commanding the squad decision was visiting troops along the frontier in upper district. this area is very volatile because after the military operation by the pakistani military in swat most fighters ran across the border. so this attack coming at a time when you mentioned when the government extended an olive to the prime minister. issuing a statement that cowardly acts would not deter the moral of the industry, that the army made sacrifices in the war against terrorist elements. >> tell us more about the major general. how important was he to the

army. >> he was given an important assignment to become general of the squat, giften -- given the fact it saw a number of attacks. the situation was stable giving the military a feel that it was time toll withdraw. there was a demand from the central government that the military withdraw. it happened at a time when there was expectation and hope that peace would work. this attack or any other attack would jeopardise the peace talks. pakistani-taliban were swift to say yes they carried out the attack. but they welcomed the peace offering from the government, there was no ceasefire for now. >> thank you very much, kamal

hyder. live from istanbul. >> egypt's military says it arrested over 300 people as part of an operation in the cyanide peninsula. weapons, moounition and counterfeit passes were captured by the terrorists. >> translation: one of the main targets of forces and over egypt through these military operations is to restore security and civility in order to start of the development of these areas in sinai with the cooperation and support of armed forces. >> let's speak to our correspondent in correspondent. we are not naming her for security reasons. the egyptian army has accused hamas of training militants there in signi, hasn't it?

>> yes, that's right. it also said that in the last 24 hours it had found explosives on the gaza border under a watch tower, blaming those saying that the device would have been on the palestine side of the boarder, and weapons with palestine markings, the military side. it's not the first time the egyptian military blames groups inside gaza for contributing to the instability in sign jid. dozens of palestinians in that area have been arrested over the next few weeks. >> how important is an area. why has the military launched a massive crack down on the area. >> it's an important and

strategic reason, area for a number of reasons. one has to do with israel. not only does egypt find it important, israel wants to see the area calm and under control. it doesn't want to see groups based in the signi launching attacks. we have seen that over the last 12 months. it's an important area to keep under control because of the agreement between egypt and israel. egypt has to try and keep the signi as much under control as it can. it hasn't been very successful over the years, and particularly over the last few months. that's what the spokesperson for the military talked about. he emphasised that instability and said so-called terrorists increased operations there, and he even said that the number of those people killed in the last few months in that area has been far higher than the number of

people killed over the last couple of years. >> okay. thank you. our correspondent on the phone for us there from cairo. we are, again, not naming her for security reasons. >> well, egypt's interim president is expected to hold a news conference within the next hour. more on that as we get it. in other news 27 afghan miners decide after a coal mine collapsed in samangan, happening north-west of the capital, kb -- kabul. >> philippines are closing in on the rebels. we have the latest from zamboagna. >> there seems to be no sign that the clashes between the philippine government and the moro national liberation front

fighters will be resolved. more and more human rights services are questioning whether the regime is in control of the situation. the number of hostages up to now is undetermined, so, too, the number of people holed up in villages in zamboagna city. the philippine government puts the number of evacuees at 70,000, 10% of the city's population. the mlf demands that the philippine government implements a 1996 peace agreement signed with norm. >> swari. it opposes ongoing peace talks the moro liberation front saying the peace talks are not inclusive or representing the needs the moro people in the philippines. >> later - how syria's war is producing a lost generation. un estimates 2 million young

syrians dropped out of school. men are living in camps with no classrooms. >> and we discover what happens to the twins that led a rebellion in meehan mar. >> drama at the america's cup. can team new zealand survive this. details later. >> crews are preparing to raise the wrecked "costa cordia." it's the biggest salvage operation attempted. the 300 metre long crewship crushed into rocks off the coast of tuscany, killing 34 people. our reporter has the latest from giglio island. >> the salvage experts say it has to work. they only have one chance of doing this. one they start the 12-hour

operation, they can't stop it. this ship has rusted in the waters for the last 20 months. all that tension on the hull could cause it to break up. all the fuel was removed from the cruiseship. there's over 100 tonnes of food on board - meet and eggs - enough to feed 4,000 passengers for a week. it's rotten if not eaten by the fishes. if the hull breaks up, it could leak out, which would be an environmental disaster for this holiday destination. the salvage crews say they are putting measures in to prevent that, and the priority is to recover two missing bodies. they could be pinned under the ship. hopefully this could be answers for the loved ones of the two people missing. >> voters in the german state of bavaria are going to the polls. the election is seen as a test for angela merkel ahead of the

nation-wide poll. >> we are travelling in a bmw, a car made in bavaria, an example of this region's industrial might. >> it explains why so many here support angela merkel's coalition. there's more to it than that. by most accounts bavaria germany it said traditional region. staunchly catholic, it was proud of old ways and the dances - the traditional music. volting for conservative parties since the end of the world war ii. >> we are really connected to the homeland. politicians need to show they look and care about it and are not just concerned with other topics. >> the bavaria version of angela merkel's christian union is the

christian social union. it's a strong voice, pushing for family values and taking a tough stance on european bailouts. >> it does the most, say company bosses for the small and medium sized companies that make up a big part of germany's exporting success. this company makes high-tech tubing that can be drawn through and repair a damaged underground pipe, saving millions in construction costs. angela merkel's lot in parliament is seen as keeping building, and building on traditional strength. the advantage of bavaria is we can employ blockal people, and they stay loyal to us. that's how bav airians are. >> the expectation is that it will form a coalition government that is created after the vote and take the lead in making

policy, which means staying the course for germany. given the lead role in the economic and banking crisis - in europe as well. >> nick is live from the bavaria capital munich. are these local elections going to be a good measure of what might happen in the general election next week? >> absolutely. there are some local issues - whether or not there should be tolls on highways, but this is the biggest land in germany or region geographically, second popular and richest. people are not feeling any kind of pain as others in europe are. the interest that germans and the world has is as a bell weather to what will happen on september 22nd in a week's time when there are federal elections. to shed a little light on the significance of this bavaria vote i'm joined by

professor videnvercher - what will angela merkel look at this terms of the vote? >> she will smile. bavaria is an influential power station, let me say. she expects that the christian democrats will have a good result. in her brain she reflects - she hopes not too strong. the bavaria politicians are inside her coalition, and also part of her opposition. >> she's probably looking at the results of the free democratic party, a small party here and nationally. part of her governing coalition in berlin. >> yes, the biggest question mark, is here in bavaria and in berlin - will they surprise? will they jump the 5% hurdle? it's not really clear whether

they'll do that today in bavaria, and if they will not jump across, they will have a bush in berlin because so many people will say they should survive, so we'll work for them, and we have a lot of experience that they started on a low level, then they became a public issue, and then they had a good result. if the result today is not so good, they will - it will be better next week. >> the 5% barrier is a barrier under which you get no seats in parliament. >> no, you are outside the party. >> the fear is people will see a low free democrat score and vote strategically? >> yes, the overwhelming majority of the voters are constallation oriented, coalition oriented. they want a certain form of a coalition they vote - even a

party they don't want normally. that's the calculation which is growing in germany very fast. it was something different decades ago. now the overwhelming majority is calculating in this way. >> that was professor werner videnfeldt explaining that angela merkel looking ahead to the election is looking for a good result for her christian socialist group and her coalition parties, but not too good a result. >> nick spicer life from munich, the capital of bav airaa >> flooding in colorado - five have been killed, thousands having to lose their home. we have a report from the worst-affected areas.

>> rescue efforts are in full force. local, state and federal agencies have been coordinating efforts to save people who have been trapped for days. the roads are not just blocked, but gone. >> we had people dialling 911, people calling for help, communities that we couldn't reach. frustrating for first responders and our staff. >> boulder municipal al airport is a command center. >> much of the efforts are focused on rescuing stranded residents in isolated communities and searching for those unaccounted for. a team of 400 assembleses a dozen chinook helicopters have taken to the sky to airlift residents to the ground. >> we have a call, we go out and get them. >> in somes areas hit the

hardest, there's no electricity or cell phone service, making it hard to account for dozens. whole mountain communities have been cut off. >> within an hour, houses crumbled off the mountainside. people's lives - everything they owned fell off a mountain into a river. >> others who escaped with the help of rescue workers are hoping to be reunited with family members who got out. >> i want to give our family the biggest hug in the world. it makes me realise how proud life is. >> more rain is coming. forecasts indicate another day of rainfall that could once against limit critical area operations. >> officials say it could be days before rescue operations are completed and months before people can return to rebuild. >> people in mexico, meanwhile,

are bracing for two big storms - tr electronical storm manual hit the west. there's a hurricane warning as a storm gathers strength of the steph is here to tell us more. folks in mexico have to deal with not one storm, but two. >> that's right. and the two act together to intensify rains across many parts of the country. if we look at the satellite picture - plenty of cloud rotating giving heavy downpours tracking to the north. this is one of those storms. electronical storm manwel. it's covering a huge area and sucking plenty of moisture to the south, pushing it to the southern parts of mexico. the other storm is smaller put more intense.

this is hurricane eye ingrid making its way to the west coast. we'll see torrentially heavy downpours that could cause a problem with flooding and landsides. it's the two areas we'll see the wet weather. we have plenty of rain, and some of the heaviest of that works down to guatemala. it's not the only storm we have with us. if we look at japan, we have a storm here. it's this massive cloud that is tracking towards the north, and as it does, it will give us some heavy downpours to the south-east corner of japan, and flooding here as well. >> thank you very much. lots of rain in lots of places. over in africa two people have been killed in gren aid attacks in kigali. one exploded in a busy marketplace, killing one person, and wounding 14.

another gren aid was debtonated on saturday in the same area. the attacks happened ahead of parliamentary locations on monday. peter grester is in the roou wandan capital. >> the attacks happened over the last couple of days. although the timing makes them look like they were directly politically motivated, collected to the elections, the targets were not political. we don't know who was responsible or what effects the attacks were intended to have. if they weren't political it didn't seem like they'd have impact on the conduct of the polls. over the past week it has been remarkably peaceful. i'm struck by how calm the elections have been. what was surprising was how calm

the crowd seemed to be and the lack of obvious security there. if that holds through, we'll see peaceful elections tomorrow. >> as the united nations tries to raise bill jobs in aids. we have been looking at how international donations have been spent. the famine in somalia killed a quarter of a million people. we look at how money raised for famine relief was spent. snool two years up until the end of somalia's worst famine, there's no let up in the stream of hungry people. 70-year-old woman is a new arrival. she fled from 700km south-west of mogadishu. >> i came here in search of food. we have no livestock or energy to grow our own food. like

neighbours we were forced to flee. >> they are joining camps overflowing with those displaced by the 2011 famine. there are 500 camps for displaced people in and around the capital. they say they are not receiving help. >> we have not seen an agency coming to assist us - be it localar international. un officers say they live in a shab abb territory. somalia is the scene of a worst humanitarian crisis. efforts to get help to those who need it are hampered. in a statement the united nations, the donor support flowed in. funds for the humanitarian

appeal reached $858 million. another $400 million was raised outside the appeal. officia officials, however, doubt whether the funds have been put to proper use. >> translation: from my experience not all the funds raised for the country are used for intended purposes. we are working on a policy to ensure aid is worked on. corruption is not a new thing. >> somalias and foreigners tolerate or manufacture to benefit from foreign aid. >> vulnerable populations were kept hostage by people and organisations who were taking a cut. >> in its latest analysis of the humanitarian situation, the un says 870,000 some articlies

remain. 2.3 others require continued emergency assistance. it seems unlikely that somalias cycles of hunger will end as long as the country remains in turmoil. >> japan is to shut down its last active nuclear reactor for safety checks on monday. the plant will remain offline until december. it's a scheduled stoppage. although there is no evidence of any danger, the problem at the fukushima site raised public fears over the safety of nuclear power. passengers on a chinese cruiser are disemworking. the ship was detained on a south korean island because of a legal dispute. it had more than 2,300

passengers and crew. >> police in the cambodian call toll phom penh used tear gas to break up a protest of the thousands prot tested alleged fraud. >> what happens to child soldiers when they grow up. in meehan mar a pair of twins made headlines as the leaders of a rebel. the boys handed themselves in into the mine mar government - we travelled to northern thailand to pick up their story. >> johnny and loouther are twins who have not seen each other for years. once they were insprable. they led a militia called god's army, fighting for autonomy from myanmar. they were revered from having

magical powers protecting them from bullets and landlines. the militia seized a thai hospital and took scores hostage. it was an international crisis. >> we didn't give an order to attack. we were attacked from those that came from behind. we had to run deeper into the jungle. it was already done. we couldn't do anything. >> >> 25-year-old loouther doesn't want to talk about it any more. since those days the two families have been separated. luther lives in freedom. johnny is with the rebels. >> their mother and sisters are in new zealand and their father in a refugee camp. that is not unusual for ethnic groups caught up in myanmar's conflicts displacing thousands.

children join the armies because their families handed them over or for nationalistic reasons. >> translation: i never regret. we fought to protect ourselves. i was proud to help people. >> things changed, but not enough. even though the myanmar government is nominally civilian and in peace talks with koren and other minorities. >> >> translation: if we have peace talks with burma they have to stop sending soldiers to the boarder. the burmese government must stop attacking villages, women and children >> loouther and johnny have extraordinary futures. looking back it's interesting to see how they could be seen as typical in the end of what happened to so many families during the koren conflict.

>> india says it's success fully launched a test missile for the second time. (countdown). >> the nuclear capable missile has the ability to target all of asia and parts of europe and is seen as a rival to china. >> there's lots more ahead on this newshour - including - i'm kath turner in new york. five years after the global financial crisis, the big banks are making big profits, assist impinge changed or are they doomed to crush again. >> and we have everything from the bmw championship.

>> welcome back. a reminder of the top stories. a high ranking pakistani general has been assassinated near the afghan border. he's a senior soldier killed by the taliban. his death could jeopardise peace talks. egypt's military seized weapons, munitions and counterfeit passports from what it calls terrorists in the signi. >> president obama rejected claims by vladimir putin that rebels were behind the chemical

attacks in syria. in an interview broadcast on u.s. television the u.s. president welcomes vladimir putin's diplomatic role in the crisis. a syrian minister praised the u.s.-russian deal. it was, "a victory avoiding war". for more on what president obama had to say about syria, we go live to washington dc. >> good morning, a lot of talk was from members of congress reacting to a deal reached yesterday between the russians and the u.s. generally it has been embraced by diplomatic members of congress, they welcome it. the reason it came about was because there was a threat of force from the united states. on the republican side of the aisle not as warm a reception

criticism from senator john mccain - he all along has been an advocate for giving arms to the syrian rebels. he still is. he says the u.s. gave the russians the foothold in the middle east that they have not had since the 1970s. he and one of his colleagues senator lindsay graham issued a strong statement in which they characterised the agreement as an act of provocative weakness, saying it would encourage iran in its pursuit of nuclear weapons. >> i don't know if you can here me but the u.s. secretary of state john kerry is giving a press conference along with the israeli prime minister benyamin netanyahu. let's listen to what they are saying. >> as we learned once again in syria, if regimes have weapons of mass destruction, they'll use

them. the determination of the international community shows, regarding syria, will have a direct impact on the syrian regime's patron iran. iran must understand the consequences of its continual defines of the international community by its pursuit towards nuclear weapons. what the past few days showed is something that i have been saying for quite some time, that if diplomacy has any chance to work, it must be coupled with a credible military threat. what is true of iranar syria - is true of iran and vice versa. john, i appreciate the opportunity we've had to discuss at some length our peace for the palestinians and ongoing talks.

we know that this road is not an easy one. we've embarked on this effort with you in order to succeed, to bring about historic consideration between israelis and palestinians that ends the conflict once and far all. i want to welcome you again to jerusalem, and i want to promise all of those that are seeing us now, that this will not be the last one. >> no, not by any means. mr prime minister, my friend, thank you for one of your generous welcomes. i'm appreciative, happy to be back in israel, and only sorry that it's a short time and a short visit. i thank you for your generous hospitality and i pick up on

your comments that the road ahead is not easy. if it were easy, peace would have been achieved a long time ago. but what is clearer than ever is that this is a road worth travelling. and so i'm delighted to have spent a good period of time - excuse me folks - the benefit of a lot of travel. i'm really happy to have spent a serious amount of time with the prime minister this afternoon, talking in some depth about the challenges of the particular road that we are on. this is a follow up to a productive meeting that i had in london with president abas. i'm talking to both presidents directlyism. >> don't relegate me to the role

of president. >> president, i apologise. >> i am talking to both leaders. everybody, i think, understands the goal that we are working for. it is two states living side by side in peace, and in security. two states because there are two proud people's, both of whom deserve to fulfil their legitimate aspirations in a homeland of their own, and two dates because today as we commemorate the anniversary of the war, i think everybody is reminded significantly of the coughs of conflict and the price certainly that israelis have paid in the quest for their security and identity. the prime minister and i and all of the parties involved have

great that we will not discuss details at any point in time. we are convinced that the best way to work through the difficult choices that have to be made is to do so privately with confidence that everybody will respect their process, and since i have asked for that from all the parties, i'm not going to break it now or at any other time. we will not discuss the substance of what we are working on. i do want to comment, however, as the prime minister has, on the challenge of the region, and what we have been doing in the last few days in negotiations in geneva. that is, as the prime minister has said, an issue that affects the stability in this entire region. ultimately weapons of mass destruction which are at stake in this issue are challenged to everybody on this planet. so this is a global issue. that is the focus that we have

tried to give it in talks in geneva. we want to make sure people understand what we are trying to achieve and how. the ongoing conflict in syria has enormous implications with all of the neighbours. the press of refugees, the fact of weapons of mass destruction having been used against the people of their own state. these are crimes against humanity. and they cannot be tolerated and they are threat to the capacity of the global community to be able to live by standards of rules of law, and the higher standards of human behaviour. so i want people to understand the key elements of what we agreed to in geneva. it is a framework not a final agreement. it is a framework that must be put in effect by the united

nations now. but it is a framework that with the russian and u.s. agreement, it has the full ability to be able to, as the prime minister said, strip all of the chemical weapons from syria. the russians have agreed - they state that the assad regime has agreed to make its declaration within one week of the location and amount of those weapons. then we will put in place what we - what we hope to put in place to the united nations - what russia and the united states agreed on, which is the most far-reaching chemical weapons removal effort well beyond the cwc that has been designed. now, this will only be as effective as its implementation will be. president obama has made it clear that to accomplish that,

the threat of force remains. the threat of force is real, and the assad regime, and all those taking part need to understand that president obama and the united states are committed to achieve this goal. we cannot have hollow words in the conduct of international affairs, because that affects all other issues - whether iran, north korea or any other. the core principles with respect to the removal of these weapons, and the containment of these weapons, which we want to achieve, as we said in the document - in the soonest, fastest most effective way possible. if we achieve that, we will have set a marker for the standard of behaviour with respect to iran and with respect to north korea and any other state, rogue state, group that decides to try

to reach for these kinds of weapons. the core principles will have the full backing of the international community through the un security council. >> and russia agreed that any breach of compliance according to standards already set out in the cwc - any breach of the specifics of this agreement, or any use of chemical weapons by anyone in syria will result in immediate referral and action by the security council for measures under chapter 7, which means what they select up to and including the possibility of the use of force. so again i reiterate - diplomacy has always been the preferred path of the president of the united states, and i think is

any peace loving nation's preferable choice. but make no mistake, we have taken no options off the table. president obama has been absolutely clear about the remainder of the potential of use of force, if there is noncompliance or refusal to take part. because the egregious use of chemical weapons by the assad regime against incident m -- innocent men, women and children, murdered in the dead of night is uncertain, and we have said in no uncertainly terms should never happen again. this country understands the words never again better than any other. i have been in contact with counterparts, hague, fabius, and their partnership has been essential.

i will see them, and the foreign minister in paris, and i'll meet foreign minister fasal of saudi arabia to talk about the road ahead to achieve our goals. our attention and efforts will now shift to the organisation of the prohibition of chemical weapons, and the un security council, and the international community expects the assad regime to live up to its commitments and we expect russia to join with us in holding them accountable. ip also want to make clear this effort is not just about securing chemical weapons in syria. we are not just standing up for a red line that the world drew some 100 years ago, which is worth standing up for. our focus now must remain on ending the violence, ending the ind indescriminate killing, ending

the creation of refugees that is not only tearing syria apart, but threatens the region itself. as president obama said, and i have said many times, there is no military solution to this conflict. we don't want to create more and more extremist elements, and we don't want to put the implosion in the state of syria. our overall objective is to find the political solution through diplomacy. that needs to happen at the negotiation table. we will stay engaged with a sense of urgency. i say with the syrian opposition, and all those in syria that recognise just removing the chemical weapons doesn't do the job - we understand that. that is not all we will seek to do. but it is one step forward, and it elgym -- eliminates that

weapon from the arsenal of a man willing to do anything for power. >> sergei lavrov and i met with ibrahimi. we will work in new york. we work towards geneva ii and our support to the opposition and an effort to get that continues unabated. mr prime minister, i know you and i are clear-eyed about the challenges ahead. we have to summon grip and the determination to stay at this. to make the tough decisions. tough decisions about eliminating weapons of mass destruction, and tough decisions about making peace between israel and the explains. we will not lose sight of the end game. i know that from talking with the prime minister today, and i think both of us remain deeply committed, and we hope very much with our partners in the region

to doing our best to try to make this journey towards peace get to its destination. >> that's one hell of a sound byte. >> thank you. >> the u.s. secretary of state john kerry and the israeli prime minister benyamin netanyahu there, giving a press conference in jerusalem. the israeli prime minister saying that for diplomacy to work it must be accompanied with a threat of military force. he said what is true of syria is true of iran and warning for iran from the israeli prime minister that they must understand consequences of defiance in pursuit of nuclear weapons. john kerry saying that the road ahead is not easy. he highlighted that the plan agreed between the u.s. and russia to secure or destroy

syria's kchemical weapons is a framework, they cannot be hollowed words. it's sending a message to iran, north korea and any other rogue states. diplomacy has been the u.s. preferred path. he emphasised and said make no mistake the u.s. has not taken any action off the table. >> right, now here with the latest in the world of sport. >> thank you very much. >> boxing - floyd mayweather junior beat saul canelo alvarez to claim the wbc and wba light middleweight title in what was billed as one of the biggest fights in boxing history. the contest didn't quite live up to the hype.

floyd mayweather did though, life up to the nickname by pocketing a guaranteed purse of $41.5 million. the american dominated and won on a majority decision after one of three judges scored the fight as a draw. he's unbeaten in 45 fights. >>. >> i was kind of shocked, you know, but i'm not the judge. my job is to go out there, fight and leave the fight in the judge's hands. i wanted the knock out. things happened. me and saul canelo alvarez bumped arms, could have been in the fifth. i hurt my elbow. i stopped using the jab. me being a true champion i had to continue to use the jab and i was victorious. >> real madrid announced cristiano ronaldo has agreed a 3-year contract extension. real were in action on saturday against villa real as the world-record signing gareth bale made his debut.

>> after all the talking and the hype the world's most expensive player gareth bale made his debut for villa real as they took on real. >> the yellow sub marine started off the brighter. rubin kearney grabbed the lead. gareth bale was not about to let anyone upstage him. the $132 million man put up an equaliser before half-time. not to be outdone, the man the 24-year-old replaced at the top of the price charts, cristiano ronaldo made it 2-1 past the hour park. and madrid's advantage did not last long. de-santos levelled on 70 minutes spoiling gareth bale's party. the final score 2-2. barcelona were also in action. the champions hosted sevia and got off to a good start courtesy

of danny albez. 20 minutes into the second, barcelona looked to crews to victory when lionel messi. sav eel were not about to roll over. ivan pulled back a goal, setting up an unlikely comeback. a man known as koke looked to have knocked the fizz out of barcelona. securing an unlikely point. in injury time the game took a twist. alexise sanchez looked to break hearts. the catalans won 3-2. one of barca's former stars had a good day. david booer opened the scoring. they haven't been beaten in four

games now. >> a fifth day in la leagua. manual lanzoretti with a goal. spaniole unbeaten. >> there's only one game taking place in the english premier league on sunday. west ham at south hampton. arsenal moved up to the top of the table. sunderland - $66 million impressing upon signing. two goals by aaron ramsay helped arsenal seal a 3-1 year. compared to a year ago what we have achieved is fantastic. >> seven other games in the premier league.

roberto martinez picked up a victory as everton manager with a win against jose mourinho's chelsea. >> we had chances, we didn't score. people have experience in football - me, you. we know that this happen. it happen week after week in football, in stadiums. you don't score - you create - it means nothing. they get three points, you get three points, you win the game. it's a simple story. >> in syria, juventus draw 1-1. it was a huge day for inter, facing kaka making a return after signing with real madrid. the brazilian's dream come back

turned into a nightmare. a late strike and a final it saved the day. 2-2 the final score. >> australian police have arrested ten people in a match-fixing scandal in melbourne. a multi-million betting ring was centred around the second tier victorian premier football league. minor players and coach arrested were all from the southern stars club, according to the football federation australia. they could all face 10 years in prison if found guilty. >> from the ffa's point of view we'll initiate proceedings under our own codes of conduct. you can be sure throw the book at the perpetrators. that means life bans on a worldwide basis. >> call for jim furyk following
