>> this is the al jazeera news hour with me, david foster, and in the next 60 minutes wasser arafat was poisoned. evidence that he died of a dea deadly dose of a poison. >> we consider now and have always considered the settlements to be illegitimate. >> reporter: and restart peace talks in the middle east, john kerry reiterates the u.s. commitment but not without

highlighting the points of friction. the u.n. vows to clamp down on arm militia in the region. >> and russia fails to show up in an international court to free greenpeace activists. >> and in london at a major u.k. department store has introduced plus-sized mankins to their shop floors. >> the verdict is that wasser arafat was poisoned. they found lethal levels of the substance in the former palestinian leader's bones. arafat was exhumed last year after the investigation into his death.

>> reporter: first they found high amounts of plutonium 10 in his clothes then they found high level of radioactive substance inside his bones. this report after the exhumation of his body last november. the arafat family received the results from their lawyer along with an analysis of forensic science david berkeley. >> this is stone cold certain. >> for his daughter it was 100% proof. >> when they gave me the results it was like they just told me he just died. i will not stop. me and my daughter will go to

all courts all over the world to punish who did this crime. >> now that i have proof that he was poisoned i feel relief, actually. final closure for me would be knowing who killed him, and the motive and the motivation behind it. >> reporter: more than 40 years of as much has given scientists information about pulonium. the level of the palestinians is 900--18 to 36 times the average depending on the literature. >> the soil around his body had absorbed his decaying body.

it rules out any outside contamination and they are determined that the body is that of arafat. this is a theory of poisoning person put forward last year and then they found that the blood and european stains were strongly contaminated. pplutonium. the samples were gathered when his body was unearthed in november of last year. three teams took 20 samples each. al jazeera has released the swiss team result. the russian team took samples

amp being invited. and there is the team in france. the french results remain a secret but as they continue with the murder inquiry they now have new evidence, and the question is whether the palestinian authority shifts the case to the international court. then they'll finally see suspects throughout the trial and learn once and for all not only what killed yasser arafat, but who. >> let's talk about the widow of yasser arafat. let me ask you first of all, in his final days in paris did he have any idea that he had been poisoned? >> no, he looked very sad. he was speechless. connot talk about he had--he began to lose consciousness a little bit. but he was looking at me with very teary eyes, trying to do

something, there is something wrong with me. i couldn't understand this from his tears. he had teary eyes, trying to explain to me. we were doing all our best to find if there is any poison, but no point ha poison had been fou. >> did he at all in the last few years of his life he had a lot of enemies, as well, did he not? did he believe that someone was trying to kill him at that point, if not that he had been poisoned. >> all his life he has been subjected to death threats, and hhe escaped maybe 20 death threats in his life. it was dangers the last three years because becaus every day, shelling was bombing him every day. but if you see that, they could

not kill him. nobody could kill him. they killed him cowardly in a coward way, and like a hidden crime. if it not for the team who were working for two years we would not have been here. very committed and i'm proud of committed journalism to arrive at what we have arrived to today. >> what made you think this was worth pursuing in the first place? it was nine years. >> reporter: i will tell you frankly, what do you want from his belongings? what he wanted from his, you know, why he wanted the belongings, and its like a mention, we discovered that he had been poisoned, and the

scientists advised me that i have to go further, to go into his tomb. with the authority with the palestinian authority we went further. now we have the results, and we have positive 83% pulonium in his body. >> were there many people who didn't want you to have his body exhumed? >> yes, of course, but they would not say immediately. actually acceptance by any other person would mean other things so everybody had to accept my demand to exhume his body. in spite of objections they exhumed it. >> let's talk about when he first fell ill to when he died, did you have your suspicions that something had been given to him to make him sick?

>> yes, it was natural. day by day the doctors come to me and say, we find nothing. we have done every test, they had 50 doctors from all over the french hospital, and they could not diagnose his illness. >> so you had your suspicions. >> of course, but we could not prove it. >> in which case did you have his body buried so quickly. >> we're muslims and the body has to be buried. >> even in case where is murder is suspicious? >> the body was not with me. it was buried. >> did you try to object because you had your concerns? >> i could not object. it was too political. i was alone. already, it was difficult at the hospital, if you remember, and

it never occurred to me to ask, and nobody told me that it should be done, and it never occurred to me. even if we had done the occupies, the pulonium was not discovered as a poison. it was only discovered when died in london. >> why did you not allowed yasser arafat's physician for many years, why did you not let him who knew this man better medically than anybody else near him when he was dying that's not true, that's not true at all. actually we had to leave--we had to leave for paris. that's not true. we had 50 french doctors around him, and we had other doctors, and it was at the hospital-- >> can i just tell you something that he says? these are his words. i would be usually summoned to attend to him immediately even

when he had a cold, but when his situation was deteriorating i was not called. why is that? >> i don't want to say anything because he has died. >> so you maintain it was personal rather than professional. >> it's not professional. the french had their own rules in the hospital. they want to examine, and they don't want anybody to watch them in this case. when you go into hospital, and you give confidence to the french doctors, only the french doctors could investigate his illness. >> what do you think after he died, the foreign minister said we can completely rule out the use of poison here. what do you think of statements like that coming from the heart of the--now that you know. >> he said this because there has been a lot of actually

lafayetta lotof statements thatt founded, and not true, journalists that proved not to be true. i cannot comment on something that i'm not sure of, but now we have the truth. i think it's better that we speak in the present that we have the truth. all the statements have been there, blah-blah-blah, it was not really founded. >> you were quoted last year in many ways that you wish you had not married him. being married to yasser arafat was very difficult. >> yes, of course, i said this in context that it was so difficult. there were attempted assassinations, and accusations. it was so difficult. to face the whole world alone.

i loved this man, and 20 years goes by, and you think, my goodness, i loved this man. i still love this man, but you had to pay a huge price from your nerves, from the character assassination, from people judging you incorrectly. it was just the only reason why i said this. >> and so now knowing that he was probably murdered and having helped to pursue the investigation yourself where does that leave you emotionally. >> some people will tell you it's the closure. i cannot close a wound that is open. it's injustice to kill great leader like arafat. he was stalk with the

palestinian things, so it was so difficult. i'm really proud of him, but it's so sad, a shock. it's a shock for myself, it's a shock o for my daughter, and foa president to be killed i by a coward. they could not face him. >> do you think they'll find his killers? >> i hope. the answer is not with me-- >> do you think they will? >> i hope. you know, we have had two phases now. the doubt, and then the certainty, and the third phase would be i hope who killed him. the answer is not with me. the answer is with the palestinian investigator and the investigation committee that should find the person who did

this. >> thank you for coming on al jazeera news. thank you very much, indeed. >> for the full investigation into yasser arafat's deathwatch, and we'll korean ou--we'll screr documentary "killing arafat," and you can get all the exclusive developments on our website, www.aljazeera.com. that's www.aljazeera.com. still to come, one task and one task only. an al jazeera exclusive we meet yemeni troops fighting al-qaeda. and some say it would an messi night as they take on barcelona in the champions league.

>> others news. israeli settlements on palestinian land are illegitimate. >> it was something palestinians had waited to hear and was perhaps encouraged if not depend by the palestinian authority. the most unequivocal u.s. statement yet on the israeli settlements. >> the position of the united states of america on the settlements 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 some how condone

or accept the settlements. >> the public acceptance, an important endorsement to the palestinian position. >> i welcome you again. >> earlier in the day the public handshake was apparently one of the few moments in the meeting with the prime minister who following reports of israeli process clearly decided this form of defense was attacked. >> i see they continue with theory crisis, continue to create artificial crisis and continue to avoid and runaway from historic decisions that are needed to make genuine peace. >> if the purpose of the kerry visit was to energy negotiations

he may have subjected but his bluntness is likely to be appreciated by only one of the parties. al jazeera, jerusalem. >> well, my colleagues spoke to the spokesman for the israeli prime minister. >> the position of the americans on the estimate-- >> the issue of the settlements i've heard boards of criticism before. all i'm saying is the issue of the settlements has to be solved for the peace talks. ultimately the only way to solve these issues is through dialogue and through talking. 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. we're not going to solve thing by creating artificial crisis,

we're not going to do anything by saying the other side is evil and calling them names. we want to engage in palestinians, we want peace and we're ready for the hard work to make that happen. >> what do you mean by inciting crisis. >> i said artificial crisis. we think the negotiators should be talking and dealing with the hard issues, and we should not create artificial crisis like we have seen in the last few days. israel has strictly abided by all the understandings that were reached to go to negotiations. we've reached all understandings even those that are difficult like the prisoner release. but the palestinians can't keep-- >> we're come together end here. >> may i just finish the point. >> just something that you were saying. >> they just can't keep their understandings. >> this is what i want to ask you. you just repeated when benjamin netanyahu said to john kerry, creating artificial crises. i want to know what that means.

>> instead of negotiating seriously and abiding by the understandings that were reached in the framework of these discussions, they are not doing that. >> the president of yemen is urging restraint after a cease-fire broke down between rival groups. there has been fighting for a second week around the northern city at least 100 people are said to have died already in the violence. an unit that has been raised to fight al-qaeda in the south of the country. we have this report. >> these are yemen's training commanders outside of the capital. you rarely see them together due to growing threats of al-qaeda. and this is the unity that lead

a fight against the armed group. they are the best soldiers in the army. the new commander i's mission is to defeat al-qaeda in yemen. we have recently created a force called special operations they have the most sophisticated weapons and they are the elite of the army. >> some of these fighters have recently been involved in special operations against al-qaeda. but this is an army that has been weakened by instability, something they want to leave behind and focus on the challenge ahead. >> we need support and

cooperation with fighting al-qaeda. we need developed technologies so we can limit u.s. drone strikes. >> this is a drill to counter an enemy attack. but in the coming days this commander will be engaged in real military operations a delicate mission i because al-qaeda has fighters almost everywhere. >> they would like to see the security force in yemen to make some progress against al-qaed al-qaeda. they want the fight against al-qaeda to be planned by the yemeni themselves. al jazeera. >> the united nations said it will stamp out all armed rebel groups from the democratic republic of congo. the peacekeeping mission there says they will use force against any group threatening civilians. the congolese troops have

captured hundreds of m 23 rebels after taking over the last of their strongholds in the east. the fighters are believed to have escaped across the border. m 23 the military announced thent of the conflict on tuesday morning. malcolm web sends us this. >> many of the fighters handed themselves over to th the congoe authority. many of them say they never wanted to fight and they were forced to join the rebels when the rebels took over their towns. others fled to neighboring rwanda, and they've got 80 fight necessary their custody and they're waiting for a deput dipc decision and what to do with them. they frequently found rwandaen citizens among those who did

give themselves up or get caught. lasting solutions will probably involved everybody being repatriated back to their own country. >> david cameron has raised the case of russia's green peace activists. we're in london with the details of that. >> reporter: yes, david, mr. cameron's office said he stressed the need for prompt, fair, and proportionate action by russia's judicial system. they made the comments with the phone call on tuesday. meanwhile, a hearing has begun in an international court to free the activists until they fate trial. they explained why russia didn't send a delegation to defend its case. >> the russians didn't appear in the court at hamburg. they had written and said they

didn't accept the arbitration process started by the netherlands, and they were not going to take part in wednesday' hearings all part of provisional measures requested by the dutch. the dutch lawyers have been telling the judges here that despite the absence of the russians they can go ahead and make a ruling on the immediate release of activists and journalists and the artic sunrise, and allowing it to sale freely out of russian waters. they have been asking for judicial procedures against the 30 to be stopped, and any further legal action to be ruled out. now greenpeace for their part said they would be prepared for some kind of legal process, some charge to be brought against their members, but all along they say that they said that what russia has done is an

george reaction. >> we hope that this process will contribute to a reasonable resolution to this as we have consistently said reasonable charges such as trespassing we would be happy to face that. >> although under international law experts say that this court's decision will be binding. it's unclear how much pressure there would be on russia to respond. there is no mechanism to enforce the ruling. it's just increasing diplomatic pressure that those in netherlands hope to bring. in the meantime, they may be sent to a jail in st. petersburg under better conditions, according to greenpeace, but it's far from ideal. >> as the case began, greenpeace kept up the pressure in russia,

and they sped along the river holding flags reading "free the arctic 30". we have news coming later on but now let's go back to david in doha. >> lawyer laurelauren, thank yo, indeed. >> ground level that was innocent looking enough. a place used to store potatoes. but come this way, down these stairs it was a torture chamber to torture real or suspected opponents of the regime. >> and it's impossible to stand straight. you can touch both walls with your hands. >> stay with us for more on the fight against century's old edict. and in sport golf's number one finds a new way to drive

from asia to europe. he looks a bit anxious, though, doesn't he.

[[voiceover]] every day, events sweep across our country. 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.

>> we're watching the al jazeera news hour, i'm david foster, and these are the top stories. the swiss sciencists say that they are positive that yasser arafat was poisoned. he was exhumed last year after an al jazeera investigation into his death. u.s. secretary of state john kerry said israeli settlements in the palestinian land. on the occupied west bank are illegitimate. his comments come after a meeting with mahmoud abbas. 23 rebelm 23 rebels surrend. more on the poisoning of

yasser arafat. we're at the university for radiation physics where the testing was carried out on arafat's remains. you've pursued this story for a couple of years. i want to ask you not so much about the end result, but what made you decide and the team decide that this was a story that was worth going after? what made you think that you would get something out of it? >> david, it was a gamble on a really long odds horse that i didn't think would win, to be honest. when we did the palestine papers where we leaked records about palestinians, mrs. arafat said she would like to meet me, and there were diaries of her late husband, hand-written diary of

the civil war, i thought that would be great historical documentary. i thought i would check it out. two years ago i went and met with mrs. arafat. sure enough she produced some of the diaries, at the same time told me i could not have them because they belonged to her daughter that was not yet 18. but she did say that she had the medical file, and noted that no journalist had done a serious investigation into it. with that i took the file to the lauzan university, and asked if she had anything that could be tested. sure enough she had a gym bag that accompanied arafat when he went to the french military haven't for treatment. he never returned from that hospital. he died. inside that bag was a hospital cap that had been found on his head with the bloodstain, european stained underwear, etc. that right behind me this

institution for radiation physics they found reactor made plunomium. i never in my life thought that this is the course that this would take. this is one of the things that happens when you working in journalism. >> clayton thank you very much, indeed. we'll talk to you more right now but we'll get to swiss lab findings. joining us now from london, david, you have said this evidence was put before a judge, and if you were the judge or if you were on the jury you would absolutely believe that he had been murdered. let's be more forensic about it.

if you have this poison in your body, what would happen, from the 17 days he fell ill to when he died? >> unfortunate, it's a nasty radioactive chemical. it actually damages each individual cell of the body. once it's in you that's what it's going to do, it will disrupt the cell processes in each individual cell. one of the reasons why yasser arafat had a a lot of intestinal problems is that it absorbed in the gut. you would expect that. i think if you're suggesting as people have, that he didn't lose his hair and so on, he had an extraordinarjust enough to kill. that's why he survived three weeks. >> it attacked a number of his

organs. his liver was badly damaged, and no one wanted to suggest that because it might suggest that he had a problem with drinking alcohol, which of course he never with a do. knowing what happened to him, are you surprised that nobody suspected at the time that something untoward had happened? that he had, in fact, been murdered? >> no, i don't think i am. he was treated really well in the first baptist church hospital. they did everything that anybody could think of. that's one of the reasons why we can be so sure that he did die of pulonium. he was tested for everything else, and he didn't have cancer or anything else that could cause his death. i'm sure the scientists, well,

they have gone a fantastic job at the swiss institute. >> and this is not an opportunist killing. this is not someone who suddenly decides on the spur of the moment to carry out this crime. this had to be planned. this had to be meticulous. they would have had to have the pulonimu with them and when to administer to it. this all suggests it was a contract killing. >> that's how it's going to be detected if it is detected. that's how we'll find out who is responsible because of all the arrangements that had to be made. getting the plunonium is not going to be easy, i'm not sure i'd know how to find it and you would need to be a research department at an university to purchase it. this has to have been well planned, and there has to be a paper trail of how this was done. >> that was david barclay, one

of the forensic teams that looked into yasser arafat's death. thank you. >> thank you. >> cutting 1800 jobs across the u.k. >> reporter: the decision by the contracted b.a. systems marks the end of 500 years of shipbuilding in portsmyth. and the cuts don't stop there. the cuts come after the systems experienced the biggest peak in u.k. ship building since the second world war. but the next project, the combat ship for the british royal navy is not big enough to sustain all three sites. >> reporter: it was always known when the two big aircraft carrier credits came to an end

they would have to be some kind of rationalization within the dock yard system. but the idea that a dock yard here would actually close with the loss of all jobs on the shipbuilding side were certainly never contemplated. the unions reacted with dismay. it's highly distressing and extremely unfair to treat a workforce this way. and this is a worrying time for the workforce and for their families. now the government says this is inevitable. they say that they are investing in another part of the port moutmouthdock yard here becausee two aircraft carriers once completed will still use portsmouth as their home harbor, but the idea that these jobs will go north of the board to board--border to scotland which will have an independent

referendum in the coming year, the idea is that perhaps the british government is some how tried to offer a favor to scotland to persuade people in scotland to stay within the united kingdom. it is an idea that is denied by downing street, but nevertheless it is a rumor that is catching currency here on the southern coast of england. >> the french court has ordered google to prevent its searches of max mosley. google strongly opposed the request. now to russia, left with severe burns to his face and eyes in january which badly impaired his

vision. on wednesday he told the court that that the suspect is a threatening man. the suspect said he's innocent. iin august, 28-year-old davd miranda was held and questioned for nearly nine hours. his partner, glen greenwald, wrote the stories from the nsa leak by edward kno snowed den. larger sized mannequins on the department store. we have the details. >> reporter: young, beautiful, and thin. the fashion industry is notorious for using achingly

slim models to sell clothes. but this store wants to buck that trend using larger mannequins to appeal to its shoppers. the average woman shops where mankins are up to three times smaller than themselves. it shakes the idea that women have to be tall and thin to look good. >> it's an image that we are supposed to think that is perfect, but in many cases that is not achievable. we have people who shop with us who are size 8 and 5:10, but we also have people who are shopping who are size 20 and shorter. so this represents the range of sizes. >> but is this mannequin

considered a larger size. it has more curves than stores typically use to model clothes but it's far from what most people would consider heavy. still many say it's an improvement. those in the plus-size modeling industry hope the trend will catch on. >> this whole step is very brave. it's a positive step forward. if other people come on the bandwagon, that's great. if it just stops there, then it's going to be stagnant. >> reporter: a swedish company recently introduced larger mannequins if their stores and it was positively received by their shoppers. this is more of an effort to appeal to their bigger commuter base, a woman who normally doesn't strut down the cat walk. >> lauren, thank you very much, indeed. we've got the sport in just a moment. the story of the best comeback of the year. find out how rafael nadal tennis

season became just a little bit better.

>> voting has now ended in ta tajistan where the president is likely to win another seven years in office. his campaign has been virtually unopposed. the other five candidates are all considered his local supporters. when he finishes his next term it will bring his time in office to 30 years.

a horrible story out of nepal. menstruating women are still separated. >> every month she has to come to this shed, and they're not allowed to sleep in their houses because people consider them unclean. >> the older generation say that the tigers will come. they say that the gods will be angry. >> many nepalis consider menstruating women to be unpure. >> this is tiny. it's impossible to stand straight. you can touch both walls why your hands. this is considered one of the bigger sheds and it's absolutely dark when they close the doors.

>> it's what happens when it's dark. many have been raped. others have died by being bitten by snakes or dying of asphyxiation after lighting fires to stay warm. 14-year-old daughter was found dead. her parents don't understand what happened. >> some say it was because of the lack of oxygen in the shed. some say it was because of the cold. it was winter at the time. >> even though the government banned the use of menstraual sheds, many still abide by the rule in these parts. there are some villages that are trying to change that. the men and the women decided they needed to stop with this tradition. it was met with writ i am. >> after we boycotted the

tradition, an it was right before the monsoon. >> it rained for a month, and our women are still staying home. >> they might be eaten by tigers. we have to let people know they're not the only ones not happy about this. >> the women have kept this one to remember how they spent many years suffering. al jazeera, far western nepal. >> more than half a century a former nazi established a colony in chile. it became of place of torture and forced labor and sexual abuse. it was known as the dignity colony to see how survivors are trying to rebuild their lives. >> reporter: in the foothills of the andes in centralchy lay, an

enclave of immigrants try to erase it's unspeakable past. martin is in charge of the bakery and sausage factory. like almost everyone he speaks with a heavy german accent even though he was born here. >> before we lived separated from our parents and siblings people couldn't marry. we weren't paid. now i have a salary and regular hours. >> so does jorgen who works at the hospital complex. >> i'm happy to be a waiter here. we are part of chile and the world now. i am happy and i am free. >> reporter: it's original name was the dignity colony. today the 140 square kilometer enclave is trying to reinvent itself to tourism. a strange twist for what was once a house of horrors. the colony was set up in 1962 by a former nazi paramedic and self

proclaim preacher. 300 believers left war-torn germany to chile. but once here they turned the isolated colony to a prison for the residents as well as a torture center during chile's dictatorship. a ground level it was innocent looking enough. it was a place to store potatoes. but come this way, down these stairs this was a torture chamber used to integrate real or suspected opponents of the regime. for more than 40 years before during, and after the dictatorship the colony operated as a state within a state. >> the colony was a criminal and pedophile organization and intelligence center run as a sect. for decades it was a concentration camp for forced

slavery and sexual abuses. >> he was charged with raping dozens of chilean boys. he was tried and sent to prison but it was not until earlier this year that his top accomplices were also jailed. they were beaten and force fed drugs to break their will to rebel. now that the breaks have been broken some people have chose ton stayed. >> all of our lives of work and sacrifice are here. i have nothing else. i'm trying to throw out the bad and create the good because i feel this place is mine. >> some are outraged as the attempt to turn this into a cheerful bavarian result, and there are unanswered questions about who covered up the horrors and why. but there are those who feel they have a right to salvage something in the place where they sacrificed their youth,

their health, and their sanity. al jazeera, chile. >> we have sports. >> reporter: david, thank you so much. uafa champions league continues. barca will have enjoyed a fine t to le ligue. barca striker messi hopes to end his goal scoring drought against milan. >> 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 performances almost always decisive in every clash. >> barcelona 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. kerry brown reports. >> arsenal, napoli, big names, all tied on six points with two games to play, and then the team's confidence has been bolstered by strong victory against liverpool, which leaves them five points clear at the top of the premier league. they come back from injury at left back, and the big injury concern of a thigh injury at the weekend. the team scored a 6-1 victory, and a hat trick but he's reminded his team they only beat arsenal in their away leg on the 82nd minute, and in that match, scored against liverpool, hit the post, cautious approaches from both managers in this crush tie. >> jose morinho, comfortable

winners, and good position to qualify for the knock-out stages for the ninth time in the last ten years. >> one match is just about to finish. portugal's fc portal are drawing. and later athleticco madrid, who are in a do-or-die situation. the world cup final in abu dhabi there is still a lot of work to do. >> they have the home fans, the months of intense preparation, and the enthusiasm to succeed. but in the end the knockout stage of the under 17 world cup was beyond the uae's reaches having drown tough opposition, the group emerged without a single victory or even a point.

but it's a michael failure in competition. >> the current international team is quite young. most of them played in the olympics and they did so well that they were very close to qualifying for the 2015 asian cup in australia, and after that i think it would be the world cup in russia that they'll try to get to. >> and once they've got over the disappointment of this tournament, it's 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. not only at their home under 17 world cup, but it's also hope that they can repeat this successes of a previous generation. in 1990 the uae qualified for their one and only world cup. they failed to win a single match, but their success on

reaching the finals in italy caused ripples back home, and many believe young players who are now coming through can emulate the team who carried them to the world stage. >> there are plays to get to the team, they've got an excellent team, a young team, and i think we could see them in major tournaments in 2018. >> when and if that moment comes they will be ready for the uae's long awaited return to the world stage. >> rafael nadal will end the year as tennis' number one for the third time in his career. the spaniard shook off a tough challenge to earn his second victory at the world tour finals. now he finishes the year in top spot and can't be overtaken by world number two, djokovic. this is the first time that

nadal will end the year as the number one player. now here is a new way to drive from asia to europe. tiger woods has been the first golfer to drive a ball from asia into europe. and apparently without hitting any cars. this publicizing his appearance in this week's turkish open. much more sport on our website. for more check out www.aljazeera.com/sports. there are details there on how to get in touch with our team using twitter and facebook. that's it for me for now. david, back to you. >> thank you, thank you. we'll see you a little bit later on. we'll have more here on al jazeera. news that yassr arafat was
