>> hello, welcome to the news hour in doha. israel's prime minister is willing to continue talks with the palestinians but not at any price. we'll have the latest live from jerusalem. >> remembering the genocide, 20 years on, rwanda's president accuses france of being involved. >> looking confident, hungary's prime minister favorites to win

the election. the far right makes gains. >> back from the brink of extinction, where in mexico where baby whales are thriving and helping a local community to prosper, as well. >> israel's prime minister netanyahu is prepared to continue peace negotiations with the palestinians but not at any price. days ago, u.s. brokered talks were thrown into turmoil because israel foiled an planned release of prisoners. palestinian was seeking greater recognition at the united nations. we have more. >> the palestinians threat to join the u.n. will not affect us. the palestinians have a lot to lose from such a unilateral

step. they will achieve a state only through direct negotiations, not through empty announcements and unilateral steps. they will only push a peace accord farther away. unilateral steps by them will be answered by unilateral steps from us. we are willing to continue negotiations but will in the do so at any price. >> let's go live to jerusalem where aljazeera stephanie decker is there fours. those are strong words we just heard from benjamin netanyahu. it doesn't bode well for the peace talks, does it? >> no. we know these talks have had an incredibly difficult time throughout, at the beginning, shrouded in secrecy, two months later anonymous sources leaking that they weren't going well. it's been a lengthy process. we are almost at the deadline of may 29. there have been hurdles, the

palestinians say israel didn't deliver on the promise of releasing the last batch of prisoners. israel says the palestinians have taken unilateral steps. it's a back and forth almost like a boxing match without physical blows. there are threats made, but not implemented on the ground. we heard benjamin netanyahu say they are withholding millions of dollars that israel collects in the unoccupied west bank, but this hasn't happened. the language from both is that they are willing to continue the talks. it's now talks about talks and talks about extending the talks but not achieving anything with the main issues that need to be dealt with. they will be hard when it comes to a two state solution, the future of jerusalem,

palestinians want jerusalem as a capitol for any future states and the israel have said that is not going to happen, it will be the unified capitol of israel, just how differ it's going to be to come to any final consensus on anything. >> thank you very much for getting us up to date on that. reporting from jerusalem. >> these are some of of the faces of the 800,000 people killed in the rwandan genocide which began 20 years ago. the victims were mostly tsutsis. events are being held with you france refusing to take part after with a wanda's president accused them of being partly responsible. let's go to the rwandan capitol.

take us through what's actually happening today. >> well, the events to mark the 20th affairs of the genocide that have been taking place at this yesterday, and they've been on in different parts of the countries, with the pictures who died as well as films about how the genocide was carried out to try to make people remember the events of the last 20 years. the main event is going to take place on the seventh of april, tomorrow in the capitol. there the president is going to receive what is known as the blame of remembrance and use it to light another one, which is known as one of the mornings. most rwandan events that

happened 20 years ago vivid in their minds and the trauma has not been erased by the last 20 years. tears of pain. for the past 20 years, these women have relived the trauma of not only seen their families hacked to death, but also getting raped. they can barely tell about their ordeal without breaking down. her family was killed in the genocide. >> too much to bear, we still have the scars of the genocide, but our children give us hope. >> she was just 20 years old when her parents and seven of her brothers and sisters were murdered. she fled but was caught and raped by several men. she lives with her daughter, yvette, now 19 years old. >> i kind neighbor who has taken me into the home advised me against abortion.

he told me i would also die if i did it. i have never regretted keeping my child. she is all i've got. >> it was not every woman who was raped and got pregnant in the rwandan genocide who have chosen to keep their baby. many ended up in orphanages like this one. the center for children in distress has been here for more than 30 years. he saved the lives of hundreds during the genocide by hiding them at the orphanage. after the killing stopped, he took on the task of raising the numerous orphans. >> many through their babies in latrines. some wanted to keep their babies. >> this is a country of

thousands of traumatized women, wives, mothers who suffering has taught them to separate their children from the hatred they feel from those who raped them. >> we will layer again from him in a moment. first let's get more from rwanda's president. who said 20 years later, the only thing you can say against them in their eyes is they didn't do enough to save lives in the genocide. he went on to say that's a fact, but it hides the main point, the direct role of belgium and france in the political preparation of the genocide and the participation of the latter in its very execution. >> let's go live to paris where jacki roland joins us.

>> what's been the reaction in paris to the rwandan president's accusation? >> the french recognize the role of france in operation turquoise was flawed, but they say it's because they were deployed very late in the genocide, the killings already going on for weeks. they point out they didn't have enough men. they are saying that the french and the belgians and a few other nations that contributed are very critical to other countries in the world, didn't actually deploy soldiers on the ground at the time. their reaction is that they've been very disappointed that they say is a result of his remarks, saying they wanted to go to rwanda and be able to pay homage and attribute to the people who have been killed and stand in solidarity with the survivors

and very disappointed to their representative will not now be able to do this, but the french feeling is that this is a set back, so it's most unfortunate, particularly bearing in mind that the french court convicted and sentenced one of the perpetrators of the genocide to 25 years in prison. there are other cases in the system. france is saying that this shows that they are serious about finding out those who are guilty, even at this stage and bringing them to justice, and hoping really that this is all part of a new chapter in relations between the two countries. clearly the remarks by the rwandan president and the timing of these remarks will be a setback to major relations between these two countries. >> jacki, thank you for that. >> muhammed, you've been able to speak to the foreign minister of

rwanda. what did he have to say about france's reaction? >> well, the foreign minister of rwanda said that the french government's position to events taking place in rwanda to mark the 20th anniversary of the genocide are unnecessary. she called them uncalled for, and said that the the rwandan president has made these kind of statements many times in the past and she doesn't see any reason why the french government should react to something that was in the public domain. she went ahead to say that there are people in the french military and also in french politics who have done unspeakable acts in rwanda. she said they would not shy away from raising what those issues are. >> all right, thank you. thank you to jacki, as well, reporting for us from paris.

>> staying with rwanda and the generation, there's a generation too young to remember the genocide. there is a determination to learn from the horrors of the past, though. catherine reports now from western rwanda. >> only three when militia men killed her parents and three older brothers, two neighbors saved her life and that of her younger brother by hiding them. at 23, she doesn't dwell on the past. >> i want to move on with my life. even i don't want to know. in this period of 1994, i feel like painting, because i know i don't have parents, because they've been killed, but i don't really want to focus on that. >> that's why hopes are on the young people, coming from different parts of the country

to discuss issues that affect them, everything from the country's laws, employment, being pa pat reatic and moving forward. >> from the them, they look at things from a different perspective. they are not so much tied to their part like the duties, the tolar generation. >> in schools, the history of genocide is a mandatory part of the curriculum. every child born up to the massacre knows exactly what happened. >> these children know all about the history of their country, about the genocide, and what caused it. they are taught about the importance of reconciliation and the power of tribal divisions. many say this generation is crucial in ensuring what happened in 1994 never happens again. >> these boys say talking about the genocide helps make it feel

more real and not just something that happened a long time ago. >> >> i always talk to my pierce about 1994 and all the bad things that happen. we also now our past must not determine our future. >> that message is one joseph constantly passes on to his grandchild, clementine. protecting his wife from killers by bribing them. he was later sentenced to 10 years in prison for killing. >> i keep telling her that we are all the same, that they said we could not exist, but look at us now. >> constantly reminded by his parents, neighbors and government that tsutsis are enemies, he wants a different destiny for clementine. >> still to come in this news hour, a nervous neighbor, fears

in georgia of a russian invasion of crimea. >> i'll be reporting on issues like separatism are affecting the debate. >> voting is underway in hungary's parliamentary election, expected to return the prime for another term. casting his vote earlier, his government is accused o crediteh

cutting electricity and gas bills. >> polls opened at 6:00 a.m. turnout's expected to be pretty high, possibly higher than 50% as it has been in previous years. for many, this is something of a foregone conclusion, the incumbent prime minister's party widely expected to once genuine a landslide result. perhaps the bigger question, though, is who the second and third place parties will be. will it be the center left alliance of four political parties led by amongst a number of key former politicians, two previous prime ministers or will the ultra nationalist right wing party extend their support largely in the country side. they're a party that have sent alarm bells ringing in europe after some very public anti semitic remarks. critics of victor and his party

accuse him of rolling back democratic reforms and taking more control over the media and changing the constitution to favor his own party and those close to him. still, he's hugely popular largely because the economy has been growing modestly but steadily. love him or hate him, it looks like victor orban is poised for another victory. >> peter is director of capitol director institute, a think tank and joins us via skype from budapest. thank you for joining us on the show. it seems the prime minister's party is a shoo in to win these elections. what is behind his popularity? >> thank you very much for the opportunity to talk to you. i would summarize the main reasons for the upcoming victory in two points, first keeping the

base strong and enthusiastic. he's the kind of leader, a spiritual leader for his base. he has 1.5 million voters in a country of 8 million overall who are personally attached to him and are really enthusiastic about the internationalistic type of government that he does. the other reason is that besides his core voter base, he was able to gain back popularity on the base of undecided voters that by decreasing the price of the gas, electricity border zone that he has just said, so first of all, he has a strong, committed core

voter base and second, a lot of votes and proved to be pretty popular in a country since 2006. >> peter, at the same time, he has been accused of galvanizing the media, of trying to get the media to be more pro orban and pro government. could that boost his popularity, as well? >> of course. what he has first of all is that he has implemented centralization in the overall system and that we haven't seen in the transition since 1990. first of all, he centralized the institutions and checks and balances the government had to face beforehand, for example,

the rights of the constitutional court, they had had a quite strong control over the media. the other thing that he left in position, couldn't really mobilize the voter base. we don't see the results so far, but it seems that they can't challenge orban really strongly. i think the result is the reason there was nothing on the left. >> peter, thank you, speaking to us from budapest. >> thank you very much. >> russias invasion of crimea has made other nations nervous. we report from georgia. >> close to the borders of

turkey and armenia lies georgia. today it's economically deprived. this town has an armenian ma jeter. most people don't speak georgian. locals feel cut off. >> they want to learn georgian to be more integrated. >> the region is a more mixed town. ethnic armenian said his loyalties lie with georgia. >> my grandfather was born here, so was my father and i and my son. we are citizens of this country. >> the muslim population was deported under stalin. this castle overlooking the city with its mosque and church is a great example of this countries

multi-ethnic society, but that diversity has in recent history been one of its greatest vulnerabilities. >> following conflicts, russian forces now control 20% of recognized georgian territory. armenia, russia's strategic partner and home to a russian military base lice to the south. some fear russia might seek to destabilize it, but its forces there and split georgia in half. georgia wants closer ties with the west. could moscow exploit minority grievances to stop that from happening? >> because of the political crisis with russia, people started talking about the possibility of losing this area. it's on emotional fear, linked to the past. >> russia's last outpost was

abandoned in 2007. that russian troops might return seems far-fetched, but events in ukraine are having far-reaching consequences and creating uncertainty. georgian may need to do more to keep their country united. >> at least one person has died after riots erupted inside the largest camp for syrian refugees. jordanian police used tear gas after crowds started attacking police stations and setting fire to several tents. a 25-year-old refugee was shot and killed and around 30 people wounded. the crowded were protesting against the arrest of compatriots who dried to come in one day earlier.

>> four injured in clashes that have spread to three different neighborhoods in egypt. the prime minister met with the governor of the province on saturday. >> aljazeera's demanding the immediate release of its journalists who have now been imprisoned in egypt for 99 days. their trial has been adjourned until april 10. they are falsely accused of providing a platform to the outlawed muslim brotherhood. a fourth journalist has been in prisoned without trial since last august. after 76 days on a hunger strike, his health is deteriorating. aljazeera rejects all the charges against its journalists. >> protestors in algeria are angry after a proposed fourth term for its leader. they stormed an election rally held by the ruling party on the

president. >> tension is rising in several election hot spots in algeria ahead of the april 17 poll. in the eastern region, the head of the president's electoral campaign was forced to call off a rally when protestors stormed the venue. they exempted security forces with stones, chanting anti-government slogans. twenty government personnel were wounded. it's growing protests against the candidacy of the president for a fourth term. activists had a rally on thursday and there has been more unrest in the eastern region. in contrast, his main rival was cheered by thousands of supporters who gathered for a rally in his southern hometown. he suffered a humiliating defeat

in 2004 with just 6% have the votes. he said the vote wasn't fair. >> fraud is my principle adversary. in 2004, fraud was victorious and democracy a loser. this time, i have a system in place that will fight fraud with 60,000 observers for 60,000 polling station. they will monitor and expose any instances of fraud. >> the economy remains at the forefront of the election campaign in algeria's future. standing against five other candidates, making sure that this message is heard at home and abroad. the 74-year-old president remains the front runner with support of the largest nearly 50 registers political parties. he announced his candidacy for a fourth term in march, but there are questions about his capacity to govern after reports that he is too sick to campaign. last year, he had a stroke and spent three months in a paris

hospital. most voters are unfaced by the campaigns after three prefers wins. it would be a major surprise if the current power structure is challenged by any of the opposing candidates. aljazeera. >> release efforts of underway after flash floods in the solomon sides. 15 people have died, but dozens more are still missing after the river in the capitol burst its banks. tens of thousands are momentumless. >> let's check on the weather now. >> the rain hadn't stopped. we can see massive cloud over the solomon islands at the moment. the center are that storm is working away towards the west. as it does so, it will gradually strengthen but behind it taking away the worst of the weather. we've only seen 30 millimeters.

that means the weather's pretty miserable, but at least isn't at risk of giving us anymore in the way of flash flooding. the storm is working its way over cleveland. that's certainly not good news, strengthening as it does show. argentina, they've had pretty lively weather and still plenty more to come. this area of cloud rejuvenating itself trying to work toward the east. it's certainly given heavy rain. some of us have seen around 100 millimeters of wet weather. towards the south, we're going to see more severe weather over the next couple of days. here's what it looks like at the moment, but it's not going to look like that for too much longer. through the next few days, a very intense area of low pressure develops towards the west and this is a tourist destination, very good for wildlife here, lots of penguins around. if you are traveling down here, take a very close eye on the forecast, it is going to be

very, very wet, up to 200 millimeters of rain. >> thanks very much. >> still ahead on this news hour, one oil-rich african country recounting its wealth after more than 20 years. could it be the richest nation on the continent? >> in sports, italian football legend winds back the clock in the australian league, coming up in sport.

>> welcome back with that we have to take a quick look at the top stories on aljazeera.

israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu said he is prepared to continue peace negotiations with palestinians, but not at any price. >> hungary's prime minister is expected to cruise to victory in parliamentary elections. polls show the ultra conservative party will hundred nearly half of all the votes. >> marking 20 years since africa's worst atrocity, france refusing to take part after the rwandan penalty accuses them are being partly responsible. more on that story now. over 2 million rwandan's, mostly tsutsis fled into nearby countries. the u.n. estimates nearly 200,000 refer gees still remain. >> after 20 years as a refugee here in the democratic republic

of congo, she is finally going home to rwanda. she registers here. she was 10 when the genocide began. she said she just about remembers people being killed. since then, she married, has four children and is pregnant with a fifth. >> i want to go home, because my children do not go to school here. i'm getting older and i want to be back with my family. >> more than 2 million people fled from rwanda. they were mostly tsutsis. among the refugees were the poll advertises and militia responsible for the genocide. >> nearly a million people crossed this border coming from rwanda into the democratic republic of congo, moving this way. they lived in camps for the following two years along the border area, which became infamous for equal lid conditions and being home for armed groups continuing to

launch attacks back into rwanda. in 1996, the army and allied militia broke up the camps and many refugees had to go home. otherwise fled further into congo and to this day, the u.n. said there's nearly 200,000 refugees still living here. >> she was among thousands living under the control of the rebel group the fdlr. she said she managed to sneak away. she's in a group of 20 taken across the border by the u.n. they move a small group every week, but the trickle of volunteer returnees are slow. many others aren't free to return home and many others don't want to. some are worried rwandan security agents could target them for criticizing the government or not going home. this man agreed on condition we hide his identity. he said rwandan soldiers killed

his parents. he still doesn't trust the tsutsis government. >> what makes me afraid to go back i guess that the rwandan government killed my parents. some people my age have been forced to come back to congo and fight as rebels and killed. >> meanwhile, the group arrives at the transit center in rwanda. this woman is confident her move is for the better. she's given food. in the coming days, she'll be taken back to her village. she's one of many who feel they can now rebuild a normal life. for others, still living at refugees the turmoil of the 1990's and its legacy go on. >> we cross to malcolm now from a rather rainy gomer. twenty years on, most rwandans have moved on, but the fear of reprise also are keeping refugees in the camps. >> that's right. there's still the u.n. estimated

85,000 rwandan ref fees still living here. they've never actually been properly registered, so don't know exactly how many. most of them won't admit to being rwandans. it's easy to get ahold of a false i.d. here. most of them pretend to be from congo. we have a fairly heavy thunderstorm. some refugees are actually still living on the canvas, camps that have been made for people who are displaced, congress lease people displaced in congo's own conflict. some of those refugees try to blend amongst them to hide their identity. they don't want to be sent home. they don't want the u.n. to send them home or the congolese government to send them home, either. >> we'll let you try to find refuge from the rain. thank you very much.

>> nigeria about to replace africa as africa's biggest economy, the country announces its first g.d.p. recalculation since 1990, mostly putting nigeria ahead. between 2005 and 2013, africa's leading oil producer had an annual growth rate of 6.8%, and this year, the economy is predicted to grow at 7.4%. now, that is much higher to that compared to south africa which has struggled to go beyond 3.5% since 2009. a senior economic specialist at eco bank joins us live now from london. thank you for being with us on the show. nigeria's surge to the top of the economy is mainly due to rebasing. does this mean all along,

nigeria has been the top economic performer in the continent? >> no, not necessarily. the rebasing simply captures what's been going on between 1990 and the current base year, which they are going to use, which is 2010, so over that 20 year period, a lot of activity has taken place, emerging and at the same time, the important of certain sectors, such as agriculture is no longer as important as it used to be. it's kind of diminished. if you look at a supply side of nigeria's economy, around the 1990's, agriculture is playing to major role in the me and added to evolved g.d.p., but now we have the industry and service sector playing a more important role than before. we have entertainment industry,

and then we also have mobile phone sector has grown rapidly over that period. so this simply captures all the changes that have taken place in output and consumption and prices over that period. >> on paper, it seems nigeria's economy is certainly doing very well, but how much does corruption and poor governance actually hold the country back from progressing? >> that is on on going challenge for nigeria, and also it's been reflection in the world bank doing business report, which shows that the country is ranked poorly, it's now ranked about 147 over the survey of 89 countries. south africa is ranked 41. on one hand in the economic in

terms of the economic sector, we are performing well, but in terms of governance and institutional framework, the regulatory framework, it's still an on going challenge and this is unlikely to change just by the debasing that is taking place right now. >> thank you for speaking to us. senior macro economic specialist from eco bank. >> australian crews searching for the missing malaysian airliners are encouraged by the discovery of acoustic signals but urge caution, saying there is no confirmation of a connection to the missing jet. the flight disappeared four weeks ago with 239 people onboard. >> indians head to the polls for the general election monday. over 814 million people are eligible to vote, reporting from new delhi on how candidates are

using all forms of communication to get their message across. >> it's loud and it's colorful. there's nothing like an indians election to get people here excited and dancing in the streets. supporting their candidate and getting their message across the country is important, as over 1500 political parties contest this election. the world's largest democracy, over 800 million indians head to the polls in an election so big it will last six weeks. >> the logistics are staggering, a million voting machines will be used because the elections are held in several states at the same time. the machines stay in place and wait for the vote count. security people needed to guard the polls are then moved to another set of states for their term to vote. they have to do this nine times. the election is that big.

the secular congress party led by the hundred do nationalists are expected to fight for who will lead the country. our regional leaders from smaller parties are expected to do well, but hope to play a significant role in the future government. with such a young electorate, many parties are using all means of communication at their disposal, including social media to get their message across. in directive websites, mobile apps and web forums are proving popular, focusing on issues such as the economy, women's security and corruption. >> parties are probably spending about eight to 10% of budgets on this normal and i think they're highly impactful because they've got new teams, young teams and nobody with embedded ideas. it's reasonably with the young and probably those just about that. >> it's widely expect that had no one will win an absolute

majority. this is the world's large have the election and since the last vote in 2009, 100 million more voters have been added to the voting register. officials here have never faced that number there weather and hope six weeks of polling will run trouble-free. aljazeera, new delhi. >> still ahead, a close encounter with a gray whale. find out why these mammals come back at the peninsula year after year. >> in sports, live to the sahara desert as one of the world's most extreme sporting events gets underway.

>> voters in canadaed largely french speaking province of quebec go to the polls monday. the elections pit two very different views of society against each other, religious and secular. the province is canada's large effort and second motor populace. 80% of the population describe french as their mother tongue. the government held a referenda on independence from the rest of canada in 1980 and then again in 1995, but the people chose not to break away. daniel has this report now from quebec. >> in small town quebec, village huddle around the church. everyone knows everyone else, the city seems far away. in arrowville in 2007, council passed a so called code of life, telling to president obama 10 she will immigrants they were

welcome, but some of their subtle really a and religious practices were not. this man helped write the code. >> we men have the right to drive a car. you know that some countries, women don't have that right, and you probably do know now that in canada, some people have asked for taxi driver not to be women. >> criticized and mocked at that time, that code helped inspire quebec's proposed secular charter, which bans public servants from wearing religious symbols. quebec's government is defending the proposal, opposing political parties say it goes too far. >> from a tiny village to a province, what some see as necessary secular. >> and others at latest dozen phobia is in and out debated on the campaign trail. >> in multi-cult rag montreal, the values charter and election are hot topics on arabic language radio hosts morning

show. for listeners, they both support and oppose the charter and intend to cast votes accordingly. >> it's very divisive issue depending on your views and religion. people do say they're going to vote and that's a good thing. >> the other big issues, the long-held policy of the governing party to declare independence from canada. fears of economic and social disruption arose early in the campaign, when a star candidate and media magnate said he was running to make quebec a country. >> what was supposed to energize the separatists boosted the pro liberal party instead. despite a rookie leader and reputationation for corrupt government in the past, led the polls for weeks. >> people want a good government, they want a government that's going to create jobs and economics, the financial situation is probably

the most important thing, as we speak. >> as an often divisive and canningry campaign ends, it's up to the voters to decide quebec's next government and with it, the future of the secular charter and relations with the rest of canada. montreal. >> time for sports now. >> after a rain delay of 40 minutes, the final between india and sri lanka is just getting under way, a rare hat trick of international tights, hold the champions trophy, sri lanka hoping for success having lost the prefers two finals. >> sri lanka won the toss, just in the first over in bangladesh. >> the australia's women's cricket team won their third consecutive world 2020 title, beating england by six wickets.

>> one of the world's most extreme sporting event is underway in the sahara desert, the marathon, more than 1,000 competitors are running the equivalent of six over six days. it can vary from salt pans to rookie prattles and up to 20% of the distance through sand dunes. there are six stages and the fourth is the toughest. it's a non-stop stage of 80 kilometers that must be completed in 34 hours. runners are required to carry everything they need with them with the exception of water. aljazeera is live for us at the finish line of the opening stage near the border of morocco and algeria. while you have had your own desert adventure to get to the finish, but how did the competitors get on on day one?

>> nearly did get lost trying to find all the way to the finish line with the local driver here, it just put into context how exposed you are to the elements here and how isolated you really are. in awe of all the runners taking part, they just had their first taste of the desert here, most of them are still to finish. we're just here ahead of the vast majority of them. one of the veterans i spoke to described the runners here as being like rotisserie chickens, marinated in their own sweat and sand and gently cooked by the sun in is a harrah. seeing what they go through, it's you a inspiring. >> what can they expect for the next few days? >> more of the same. you mentioned the long stage of stapling four. that's an 80-kilometer stage, the one they're all slightly concerned about. the main worry they have is trying to keep themselves

healthy and their bodies healthy. 90% of dropouts will be dehydration or blistering. water that is given to the runners is strictly reactioned. they have to be very careful how they manage their water and how they look at their feet. if you can imagine, if you get sand into your running shoes in this heat, very quickly, you're running effectively on sandpaper and some runners suffer delamination during the course of this race where the all the skin off the sole of your foot is removed. the medics here are expecting to hand out more than 6,000 pain killers over the next few days. >> that sounds really harsh, but what really motivates them to do this? >> it's interesting, i mean there's also been people who have wanted to do extreme adventures. you go back to captain scott going to the south pole, but in

terms of mass participation events, it's a relatively recent thing. when the marathon was run in 1986, there were only 23 competitors. now you have more than a thousand. talking to a lot of the runners here, they would say that life is getting easy for them in the west, they want to find new ways are making it difficult for themselves, finding new ways of depriving themselves of the luxuries they have in life and bringing things back to basics here. they don't have much access to email, can't phone home often. it's just a simple, simple life, eating, sleeping and of course running. >> andy richardson reporting there from algeria and morocco in the desert. thank you very much for that. >> liverpool can regain top spot in the english premier league sunday as they take on every to know. taking on arsenal at the moment, hope to beat the gunners for the

first time since 2007. 14 minutes into the match, doubles the lead before the break and the latest there, everton two, arsenal zero. >> just two points separate the teams with two games left to play. madrid and barcelona kept the pressure on athletico madrid. >> another game, another win. one goal is all it took to beat real. athletico, playing for a title. barcelona will have something to say about that. scored from the spot to the home side in front. the advantage was doubled just after the break. jodie scoring on goal.
