>> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ >> hello, there, you are watching the news hour live from our headquarters in doha. i'm judy, the top stories this hour. >> the consider now and have always considered the settlements to be illegitimate. >> trying to restart peace talks in the middle east. soldiers display captured m23 rebels as the un vows to

clamp down on armed revolutions. and meet the troops newly tasked with fighting al-qaeda. and in london russia fails to show up in front of an international court. and -- i'm katherine stancill, a major department store has introduced plus-sized man any cans to their stores. israeli settlements on palestinian land are illegitimate. john kerry also announced the u.s. is sending another 75

million in aid. >> let me emphasize at this point that the position of the united states of america on settlement s is that we consider now and have always considered the settlements to be illegitimate, and i want to make it extremely clear that at no time did the palestinians in any way agree as a matter of going back to the talks that they somehow condone or accept the settlements. >> speaking with kerry in jerusalem, benjamin netenyahu said he is worried the palestinians aren't committed to peace. >> i am concerned about the progress, because they say the palestinians continue with incitement, continuing to create artificial crises, continuing to

avoid and run away from the historic decisions that are needed to make a genuine peace. i hope your visit can help stare them back to a place where we can achieve the historical peace that we seek and our people deserve. >> hamas won't be included in peace talks. deputy minister of foreign affairs for hamas says any negotiation between the israelis and the palestinians are doomed to fail. >> mr. kerry is just wasting time, and i think he is buying time, [ inaudible ] with time, and i think we need not to give the palestinians creative solution, and i think he succeeded to deceive the palestinian authority in order to bring him no the negotiation table, but he did not give him the rules and principles and some guarantees in order to be

sure that after nine months of nine years that there is something [ inaudible ] but i think the palestinian authority feel there is gain [ inaudible ] and will not recognize their borders [ inaudible ] i will not accept all of the palestinian conditions, so i think they now -- mr. kerry is to blame because i think he deceived the palestinian authority, but i think really he was lying. >> for more on this we're joined by the spokesman for the israeli prime minister. mark good to have you on the program. there's not a lot of optimism here is there, the secretary of state is very clear, he says settlement construction is unhelpful and illegitimate.

>> we're also concerned. we would like to see these negotiations succeed. we're only three months into a nine-month process, but we're willing to make the hard choices we hope the palestinians are true. >> when you talk about hard choices, the meeting last week was completely detailed by the announcement of over 3.5 thousand new settler homes. >> let me be clear, when i talk about hard choices i'm talking about israel fully abiding by all of the agreements. and one was the prisoner release. there was overwhelming disapproval of the government's dissituation to release those terrorists. yet my prime minister said he wants to give these talks a

chance, and released the prisoners. we're doing this because we want the process to work. we're willing to take those tough choices we hope the palestinians are too. >> coming back to tough choices, kerry says there needs to be hard choices from both sides. what is israel afraid of if it puts settlement activity on hold? >> we have done that in the past, and it frankly didn't help. we did it in the previous government, unfortunately it didn't achieve the result that we thought it would achieve. it didn't allow the return to negotiations. i think the issue has to be negotiated between us and the palestinians and that's what we're calling for, serious face-to-face negotiation with all of the issues on the table.

and we don't think creating artificial crises is going to help. >> the overwhelming feeling and the rumors swirling around is the peace talks which were resumed in july are not on the brink of collapse. what is your assessment? >> the talks are happening in secret and rightfully so, because if there's any chance for diplomacy to succeed they -- >> but right now, mark it doesn't meme -- right now it doesn't seem as though the talks are on track to succeed. >> well, we're only one third into a nine-month period, and from our on it of view we want the talks to succeed. we're willing to make all of the effort and put all of the energy in to make the tough choices. we hope the palestinians are too. our palestinian neighbors have to finally say they recognize

the legitimacy of the jewish state and they are willing to live with us in peace. and we want to hear they are willing to take seriously our legitimate security concerns. because without security legitimacy there can be no peace. >> but you are still building settlements even as you accuse the palestinians of not being sincere, doesn't it suggest that israel is not a sincere partner for peace? >> i disagree. we're building in existing communities in the jewish neighborhoods of jerusalem. you remember the famous al jazeera leaks. these are areas where the palestinians themselves accepted the principle that they will remain in israeli hands. so we're not building new neighborhoods, we're building

inside existing commune tease. the settlement issue along with all of the other issues, and all of the issues have to be on the table, and negotiated, and that's what we want to do. >> i wonder how you assess the relations right now. because it seems the u.s. interests are moving away from israel. for example, the u.s. doesn't want to see new sanctions on iran for instance. and israel doesn't seem to be happy with that. how do you assess the relations between israel and the u.s. right now? >> excellent. my prime minister is meeting john kerry i think every week almost -- >> i know, and the body language is pretty telling isn't it? because in that meeting that we saw with john kerry and the israel prime minister the tone was completely different. >> i was in the room and i saw two people who have known each other for i think two, three decades already, who are working

together hard to try to solve the difficult issues, to try to reach peace is not easy. if it would have been easy it would have been done already. >> i saw the u.s. secretary of state pointedly saying that both sides need to make hard decisions. that seemed to be a veiled remark toward israel's actions. >> i would say for the peace to happen, both sides have to be willing to take the difficult choices. israel is willing, and we have shown we are willing to take the difficult choices. >> what do you make of john kerry's comment that the settlement building was illegitimate. because that's the most pointed comment we have heard. >> the american position on settlements is well-known and so is ours. >> but the word ill legitimate

is that not new? >> all i'm saying is we're willing to engage on the issue of settlements and all other issues, and one side coming to the table with the ability to make tough choices, we're ready to do that and i hope the palestinians are too. because we're not going to solve anything by siding against the other side. >> what do you mean by inciting crises? >> oh, i said artificial crises. we think the negotiators should be talking and dealing with hard issues, and we shouldn't be creating artificial crises. ultimately israel has strictly

abided by all of the understandings that were reached. very strictly we have honored all of our understandings even though that are very difficult like the prisoner release. >> can i pick you up on one last point -- >> may i just finish the point. the palestinians can't keep their understandings. >> you have just repeated what benjamin netenyahu said to john kerry. that the palestinians are creating artificial crises. i just want to know what that means. >> it means instead of negotiating seriously and abiding by the understandings that were reached in the framework of these discussions that they are not doing that. and i would say very specifically, if palestinians don't honor the understandings reached in the negotiating process, how can we have confidence that if we ever have a peace agreement, we'll honor

those understandings. and i say unkwificily. israel is fulfilling, honoring, all of our understandings, even the very difficult and unpopular decisions like the release of terrorists. >> mark good to talk to you, thank you very much indeed for talking us to on the program. >> my pleasure. ♪ >> well, the un is willing to stamp out all armed rebel groups in the democratic republic of congo. it says it will use force against any groups threatening to use weapons. other fighters are believed to have escaped across the border. m23 and the military eye announced the end of the

conflict on monday morning. we have james bays standing by in new york, but let's go to malcolm west first. malcolm tell us what is happening to m23 fighters and their leaders. >> well, the fight -- some fighters that surrendered here in congo, i think they have been detained for now, but they will be hoping at least to get some sort of amnesty. a lot of these people say they were forced to join. they had no choice. there's also uganda said that it now has 80 former fighters in its custody, and it is waiting to make a diplomatic decision on what to do with them. and reportedly some fled to uganda. m23 always claimed they were

entirely an a congoese movement. some fightsers said they had been abducted or tricked in fighting for m23. but any satisfaction solution will be if everyone gets repatriated to their own country. >> reporter: they shout, m23 are finished. the game is over. after days of heavy bombardment, the rebels fled their last positions. this congolease soldier said he took this badge from a uniform. but the rebels recent string of

defeat suggests any foreign support has stopped. the government troops are in good spirits. there's no phone signal here, but this man makes the most of the moment for the cameras. he announces the victory to an imaginary caller. they take us to see the rebel's last hill top base. this is the highest point of what was the rebels final hide out, and the view is incredible. you can see for miles. you can see into uganda and rwanda. here they have trenches that they dug. up there a rocket launchers, but most of their weapons they destroyed before they left. now it's full of government soldiers. they have moved in. the rebels are gone. they fled before the government troops even got here. here are the remains of their

weapons stash. they blew it up before they ran. lists of recruits and statements promising a better congo lie scattered. the victorious troops are curious to see what their endmys were up to. >> they had another administration in this area. and now it's over. it's a good victory for -- for us. [ singing ] >> these men know they were lucky. they were soldiers taken prisoner by the rebels. now they have been rescued. but we also saw bodies of prisoners who were shot. the government says the next step is to disarm the many militias here. but for now there is relief that one fight is finally over.

>> malcolm thank you for that. let's go to james bays. and diplomats about to start discussing the [ inaudible ] shortly. >> yes, the meeting just got underway discussing what will happen in the drc. i think they were mostly pleased with this news. row wanda is also currently on the security council, and we have had no commitment from their ambassadors. now what do you do with all of their weapons and all of their fighters? and it's worth remembering the history of all of this, the m23, most of them were once part of another rebel group called the

cndp, and then there was a peace deal on march 23rd, 2009, and they started reintegrating those fighters into the congolese army. they were unhappy with the peace deal on march 23rd, and that's why they called themselves m23 and rose up. so there is a real concern that this time as they try to deal with these fighters that history doesn't repeat itself. >> james there is obviously still a lot of work to be done there. monisco is still going to have a presence there? >> oh, yes. because if you look back at the original resolution, of not just monosco but its brigade set up in march, it talks about disarming all of the armed

groups in the eastern congo. and then there is the other persistent problem that part of the congo really isn't very well governed, none of the government services effect the people of the eastern drc. they may be pleased about the developments but they know there are so many challenges ahead. >> james in new york and call mom webb in ghoma, thank you very much in need. there has been fighting for a second week between rebels and ul -- ultra conservative sunnis. al jazeera has gained exclusive access to a special unit of the yemini army.

>> reporter: you rarely see these people together giving the growing threats from al-qaeda, and this is the newly formed unit that will lead the fight against the armed group. they are the best soldiers in the army. their new commander is major general [ inaudible ], his mission is to defeat al-qaeda in yemen. [ applause ] >> translator: we have recently created a force called special operations. they are the best-trained soldiers. they are the are the leet -- elite of the army. >> reporter: this is an army that has been weakened by years of instability and political

divisions. something yemen's new political leaders want to leave behind and focus on the challenges ahead. >> translator: we need support and cooperation with all of the countries fighting al-qaeda. we also need to develop technology like drones so we can limit u.s. drone strikes. >> reporter: this is a drill to counter an enemy attack. but this commander will be engaged in real military operations, a delicate mission in a country where al-qaeda has fighters almost everywhere. this unit is largely trained and equipped by the americans who would like to see them make progress against the fight against al-qaeda. now russia has failed to

appear at an international court which is hearing a bit to free a group of activists detained since september. we have more from london. lauren. >> thanks. the case is being brought before the international tribunal for the law of the sea by the netherlands. they want the journalists to be released until they can have their trial in court. >> we hope that this process will contribute to a reasonable resolution to this as we have consistently stated, reasonable charges such as trespassing, we would be happy to face that. but pry aresy and [ inaudible ]. >> give us a bit more information about the background of why they brought this case to

this particular court. >> well, lauren, just to specify it's the dutch foreign ministry that sent lawyers here today in hamburg, and they have been stressing to the presiding judge and the rest of the judges that although russia has said it doesn't recognize this arbitration process, this is the right place for it to be heard, and they can actually issue orders without the other party, being russia, being present, that is under the law of the seas which russia and other states signed back in the 1980s. russia says it exempted itself from binding decisions. however, we have heard the rulings issued by this court are binding under international law, and now the judge has said probably on november 22nd

they'll come back with a decision on what the netherlands have asked for, namely releasing those 30 people and the ship, the sunrise, immediately. >> can think then be enforced? >> well, that's the whole -- that's the whole dilemma here. they have no mechanism for enforcing their decisions. what they hope really will come out of it, both the dutch government and green peace is increased diplomatic pressure from more and more countries, pressuring russia to release their nationals, because let's not forget there are a number of different nationalities among those detainees. they have been held under extremely harsh conditions. what -- as we were hearing from the director of green peace what they really want is for them to

be released pending a further arbitration session here in hamburg. they want them released immediately, because they say the arrest was ultimately against international law. >> and how long do we expect this to carry on for in hamburg? >> right, well in about -- in about two and a half weeks we expect them to come back and issue a ruling on these provisional measures as they call them. the request for the court to tell russia to release the detainees, the ship and to hold all judicial proceedings, but there is this arbitration going on, which will see another tribunal sitting here in hamburg, but we're not actually -- we're not actually in on the details of the dutch claim. that's the way things go here.

we only know what they are asking in the provisional measu measures which are these crisis steps, beyond that it could be some kind of financial measures. we wait to see. >> thanks very much indeed for that update. lawyer rep see you later on. still to come here on al jazeera . . . [ bell ringing ] >> why the catholic church in one mexican state is breaking its silence on drug violence. and tiger wood finds a new way to drive to europe. i'll have all the details after the break.

and with them, a storm of views. how can you fully understand the impact unless you've heard angles you hadn't considered?

antonio mora brings you smart conversation that challenges the status quo with unexpected opinions and a fresh outlook. including yours. hello, welcome back. these are the main headlines. john kerry says israeli settlements in palestinian land are illegitimate.

congolese troops have captured the rest of the rebel areas. and al jazeera has gainedest collusive access to a special [ technical difficulties ] filed an appeal against the

activities and confiscate its assets. the groups in mexico say they will stop fighting the [ inaudible ] drug cartel. this follows a push from the government to push them out of the state. it left five people dead and nearly a million out power. adam is there for us now in mexico. i know you have been following the vigilantly movement for months now, so what has changed? >> well, the main thing that seems to have changed is they have gained momentum with people and the federal government, who is now holding high-level meetings. the fact that they promised to stop getting in confrontations with this cartel says a lot. and also they are now gaining

support of the catholic church in the region. the catholic church has been relatively silent, but now the bishop in this commercial hub of the agricultural region has come out with a letter calling it a failed state and saying the government has to stop what is going on there. we spoke to one of the priests at his parish for this report. >> reporter: the father has become a lightning rod for parishioners calling out for help. for years church leaders across mexico have remained relatively silent in the face of drug violence. around 100,000 people have been killed or are missing and feared dead. cortez says it's time for the church to speak out. >> translator: we are grown tired of being surrounded of death. >> reporter: people come so

desperate that the catholic church has released statements that are stronger perhaps than what we have seen from any other diocese in mexico. they say they are responsible for much of the violence and also calling on the federal government to come in and stop the violence now. across from the church is the city hall where people took cover on october 26th as shots rang out. for months the self-defense forces avoided the town because of the drug cartel's menace. earlier this year, vigilantlies across the area started to fight back. the mayor says the town isn't a cartel base, but acknowledges violence nearby. >> translator: we can't hide the fact that there has been a lot of killings. there has been a wave between these groups as they fight for

territory. >> reporter: interest doctor is one of the vigilantly's leaders. he is one of the leaders pushing for the arrest of cartel leaders. he says the security and economy depend on it. >> translator: if we let these criminals keep ahold on the area, the financial disaster of the entire region will be worse, because they took control of all of our packing plants. >> reporter: if the government doesn't bring the cartel down, he says [ inaudible ] a move which threatens more bloodshed. caught in the mid-really people who have been squeezed off of dying farms. they hope the killings will end soon. as you can see this is really an economic fight too. it's not just about gangs and territory. the reason these gangs want to control that area is because it's very rich in agricultural

products. they extort farmers and make lemon pickers pay bribes for protection, and the doctor we spoke to is saying it is clearly an economic fight because this town is the only place people can go and make a profit on all of these agricultural goods grown in this area. what we have happening at the same time is many commentators, people in churches and other opposition government officials are more and more often saying that the whole government, the whole state of mexico is a failed state. what that shows is people are calling on the government to do much, much more, and millions of people across the country need a lot of help from the government. and what they need are jobs so there's no temptation to join these groups. women's rights groups in nepal are fighting an uphill

battle against segregation. menstruating women are banned from the area, and kept in sheds that are unhigh generic. >> reporter: menstruating women are not allowed to sleep in their houses because people consider them unclean. >> translator: the older generation say that the tigers will come. they say that the gods will be angry. >> reporter: many find menstruating women to be inpure and untouchable. this sled is absolutely tiny, it's impossible to stand straight. you can touch both walls with your hands. it is absolutely dark over here, once you close this door. it's what happens in the dark that she is afraid of. many women have been raped. many others have died some bitten by snakes and others from

after fixation after lighting fires to stay warm. a few miles away, a 14-year-old girl was found dead in the shed. >> some say it was because of lack of oxygen, because say it was some of the cold. >> reporter: there are some villages that are trying to change. in this village, last year the men and women decided that they needed to stop this tradition. they were met with a lot of criticism. >> after we boycotted the tradition during monsoon, we had a problem, it rained all around us but not in our village. >> translator: it rained after month, then i told people you said it would not rain, but it

did, and our women are still staying home. >> translator: there are women who may be eaten by tigers. we have to warn them. >> reporter: this used to be a community menstrual shed. the women have kept this one to remember how they spent many years suffering. a major british defense contractor has announced it is cutting nearly 1800 jobs across the uk. let's get the details from lauren. >> the decision by the contractor bea systems, don't stop there, jobs are going in southwest england and scotland. a total of 1,775 jobs will go by

2016. the cuts after they experienced the biggest peak in uk shipbuilding since the second word war. they say the site isn't big enough. >> we want your royal navy to have the best, and most modern ships and best technology. and that means we'll go on building ships, we'll be keeping that yard busy rather than paying it to remain idol as the last government proposed and in por portsmouth the work force will go from 12,000 to 11,000. >> paul is live for us at the shipyard. paul what are the workers saying about that this? >> there is an understandable

amount of shock going. the 65,000 ton carriers which were being built, obviously that construction work comes to annen at some point. what they didn't expect that a shipyard here in portsmouth would be a victim of that rationalization process. the unions have reacted with dismay. they have said, they are highly distressing and extremely unfair to treat a loyal work force this way. and the united union, said this was a very worrying time for the work force and their families. >> it's a feeling of uncertainty and most individuals think, well, what is going to happen to me and my family? there are lots of people who are

considering well what would a redundancy pack age look like? and yes, the city will recover, you know, it's a big city, but it's the individuals i feel sorry for. >> the loss of such a significant number of problems is of course regrettable, but was always going to be inevitable, as the work flow comes to an end. bae systems has assured me that every effort will be made to redeploy employees, and come pull -- compulsory redundancies will be kept to a minimum. >> that attempted reassurance is not going down particularly well here at least. there is huge uncertainty, but

unions will meet with management to iron out which people are to loose their jobs, but there is the whole issue of whether there is a political motive rather than just an economic motive behind this. the scottish country will be an independence referendum coming up soon, and the rumor is denied by the british government is that these jobs have gone north of the border to scottland to try to persuade scotland to stay part of the united kingdom. certainly there is a feeling here that that is at least part of the reason those jobs are heading to scotland. >> paul thanks very much indeed. greece and protesters have clashed once yet as people event more frustration over the financial crisis. [ shouting ] >> the supporters marched to

parliament in driving rain to voice their anger at spending cuts to education and health. an indefinite garbage collector strike in spain is leaving growing piles of rubbish on the streets in madrid. the british retailer has become the country's first to display larger-sized mannequin on its shop floor. kat listen has the details. >> reporter: young, beautiful, and thin. the fashion industry is notorious for using extremely slim models to sell clothes, but this store wants to buck that trend using larger mannequins.

they have introduced this plus-sized ma any quinn. they say the ma any quinns are meant to shake the idea that women have to be tall and thin to be attractive. >> we have people that shop with us that are 5'8", and 5'10", and size six, but we have larger sizes that shop with us. >> reporter: but is this mannequin really considered a larger size. it's far from what most people would consider heavy. still many say it's improvement.

>> this whole step is very brave and it's a positive step forward. if other people come on the bandwagon that's great. if it just stops there, it is just going to be stagnant. >> reporter: this could be a sign that fashion retailers are under pressure to appeal to their largest shopping base. and that's for the team in europe, let's go back to doha. >> thank you. a could be a messy night for ac milan in the knockout stage of the champions league. stay with us.

welcome back. now voting has ended in [ inaudible ] where the current president is expected to win another term. the campaign has been virtually unopposed. the other five candidates are all considered his loyal supporters. the first results are expected on thursday. it is a land locked country around 7 million people. it's capitol lies in a turbulent region, bordering afghanistan, and has become the main route for trafficking heroin to russia. let's take a look at the sport now. >> thank you very much. we'll start with football.

the uefa champion's league continues on wednesday. the italians are desperate to put their domestic woes behind them. they have enjoyed a fine start to [ inaudible ] in europe they are two points clear of milan and know this could [ inaudible ] strike [ inaudible ] will be opening to end his goal-scoring drought against milan. >> translator: i am only happy to be able to have him in my team and coach him. let's hope he gives us what he normally gives barcelona. his performance is almost always decisive in every clash. >> [ inaudible ] looking to maintain their place at the top of group f. the gunners are hoping to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat two weeks ago at the emirates stadium. >> big names in european

football all tied on six points with two games to play. the pressure on arsenal [ inaudible ] they are five points clear at the top of the premier league. [ inaudible ] big injury concern is [ inaudible ] picked up a thigh injury over the weekend. but they only beat arsenal on the away match in the 82nd minute. cautious approaches from both managers in this crucial time. >> [ inaudible ] has the chance to take control of group e. the blues were comfortable 3-0 winners [ inaudible ]

competition. they are in a poll position to qualify for the knockout stages for the ninth time in the last three years. but he won't take his opponent for granted. >> no, no, no, no. not at all. first of all the records is very good. not just in the [ inaudible ] but also in -- in the european competitions which have very good results away. which means they feel much more comfortable playing away than to play at home. so that's -- that's a point, and a clear point with statistics. [ inaudible ] could move to the knockout stage in group gwith a win against industriaus which r -- are in a do or die situation.

manchester city have reached the last 16 for the first time in their history. argentinean striker scored twice for city. then got his second in the 21st minute. city pellegrini is hoping his side will go even further. >> we have a strong team, so the main target was to qualify for the next round. however that is not our only target. i repeat we see the [ inaudible ] because we -- we don't know with whom we are going to play in february, but i assure that the team we played against them they will not be very happy also to play against us. also through to the next round [ inaudible ]. scored a header in the 65th

minute. they go through as group d w winners. >> it was more difficult than the game two weeks ago. i remember clear our game in barcelona here, but we suffer to win -- to win the game. but [ inaudible ] always difficult for principle when you play away. >> real madrid [ inaudible ] spanish side on the verge of reaching the last 16. [ inaudible ] scored his 8th goal of the competition to level the match while [ inaudible ] also had a goal, but madrid dropped their first points but still stayed top of group b. mexico will face nigeria in abu dhabi. but there is still a lot of work to do. they failed to make the round to

16, but the tournament has provided it's a young players with valuable experience. >> reporter: they have the home fans the months of intense preparation and the enthusiasm to succeed, but in the end the knockout stage was beyond the uae's reaches. having drawn tough opposition with brazil and honduras in their group, the hosts emerged without a single victory or even a point, but it's a minor failure in the recent run of form in recent competitions. >> the current national team is quite young. they all played -- most of them played in the olympics in london and they did so well, that they were all promoted to the senior side which won the cup earlier this year in january. they are very close to qualifying for the 2015 asian cup, and after that i think it

will be the russian cup that they will try to get to. >> reporter: it is these young players who are hoping to get the call up for the 2018 world cup in russia and beyond. there is much riding on this young team. it is also hoped that they can repeat the successes of praefous generation. in 1990 the uae qualified for their one and only world cup. their success caused ripples back home, and many believe that young players coming through now can emulate the team that brought them to the world stage. >> they have got an -- really excellent team and a young team, and i think you could probably see them at a major tournament maybe in 2018. >> reporter: when and if that moment comes they will be ready

for the uae's long-awaited return to the world stage. tennis's word number 2 says he lost all trust in the anti-doping system and fears he could become a victim of what he calls negligence. his comments come after his fellow player lost at his appeal. he extends his winning streak to 18 matches. at the moment world number 1 is facing [ inaudible ] in his second round robin match. straight sets victory over the swiss would book his play in the semifinals. he has taken the first set 7-6. and david ferrer facing thomas

[ inaudible ]. >>to nba where the denver nuggets are still looking for their first win this season. the nuggets dominated the first three quarters, but in the final 12i 12ing -- 12 minutes the spurs fought back and rallied in the fourth quarter to beat the nuggets. there is a new way to drive from asia to europe. tiger woods has become the first golfer to bridge continents in turkey. the suspension bridge was closed as the world number 1 pulled his intercontinental stunt apparently without hitting any cars. and that's it for me. >> great pictures there. thank you very much indeed for that. and that's it from the news hour team for now. for me and all of the rest of us, bye for now.
