>> welcome to the news hour. coming up in the program. [ explosion ] no sign of an end to the misery in gaza. the offensive could fake a long time. >> a political brea break through in afghanistan for stable and secure government. >> we have all the news from europe including a shelling is held on the outskirts of

donetsk. >> and the countdown to the world cup final. this is the scene of the stadium where argentina will take on germany. >> the israeli military has launched more airstrikes over northern gaza. people were told to leave their homes before the attacks. but earlier prime minister' primisrael's prime minister said that it could take a long time. gaza has been pounded for six days and the number of deaths keep rising. is 6167 people have been killed since the attack. of those 29 are children below the age of 16. 19 of the casualties have been

women. >> we'll continue to act with patience and forbearance for determination, responsibility and aggression to achieve the goal of a campaign which is restoring calm for a long period for dealing a blow to hamas and other groups of the garden strip. >> so far the deadliest single strike in gaza killed 18 people gaza's police chief was the target and he's in critical condition now. most of the dead are members of his family. stephanie decker reports from gaza. >> reporter: shortly after the attack the search for survives and the dead. this was once the home of the police chief and he is believed to be in critical but stable condition. many members of the family is killed. in the chaos the rescuers use heavy machinery and their bear

hands to try to get inside. officials in the gaza health ministry were no doubt the house was targeted by israeli forces. >> it's a new master being committed by our people in the gaza is strip. this time it was the family of the family nearby the mosque. people were trying to get out of the mosque after they finished ramadan prayers but they saw the house under intensive shelling. >> reporter: officials say this incident has caused a single greatest cost of life since israel began its attack on gaza last week. the israeli army also said special force ohs raided a site. there was an exchange of gunfire that came close to the shore. it was an intense night of airstrikes, and by daylight the damage was clear. the fires of the early morning were still smoldering. >> reporter: the israeli army

told people the north of gaza to leave their homes. they'll clear the area of hamas' capabilities. and palestinian refugees say they have opened multiple schools to provide shelter for the thousands. they're expected to heed that call. >> now emergency aid is being delivered to gaza to jordan and egypt. four ambulances were sent from israel and seven trucks came through rafa. medical supplies are dangerously low. our correspondent. is live with us in gaza city. they're talking about a really hard military strike. what is the situation like so far? >> reporter: they are, indeed. this is the leaflet that has been air dropped on people in the area. and it tells them that the israeli army will conduct a powerful operation in the area.

they will target rocket launchers who israelis say have been hiding around homes and hospital ohs. it gives them a specific route to take out of town. and tells them this is all effective as of noon sunday. that was several hours ago today. the israeli military last night did have one incursion with special forces across the border overnight. they say to take on rocket launchers and four israeli troops were hurt in that. that is one thing they're hoping to avoid by evacuating the areas so they will intensify the airstrikes after these people and will be able to say afterward we warned everyone to get out of the area. so those strikes are likely to include significant airstrikes. we don't know if they could inincluded a crowd incursion as well in a larger sense, but the israelis have been urging those people to move, and many of them have.

thousands have come to the center of gaza. there are united nations centers being set up. there were something like 4,000 likely thousands more there. today my colleague stephanie decker did take a look there and did find people increasingly going to the shelter. so we have a real evacuation there. we have, of course, the mandate that foreign nationals take out of here. 800 are expected to be doing that. those who haven't already done so. and meanwhile the airstrikes continue and the rocket strikes coming out of gaza continue. so neither side appears to be backing down. >> john hedron keeping an eye on gaza city. >> reporter: groups of hamas continue to be fired upon from israel. hundreds of rockets have been launched into israel since tuesday. the cabinet has been holding its

weekly meeting since jerusalem. >> reporter: sunday morning is the first occasion we know about are the israeli military has entered gaza on the ground. according to reports commandos entered by sea, going up the beach to attack what the israeli military call a long range missile launching site. three hamas fighters were killed in this assault, and four israeli commandos have been injured and are being treated in hospital. also the weekly cabinet meeting in israel. for the first time the content of that cap meant meeting held embargo. we don't know what the content of that cap meant meet something, and we're not going to be told when the details of that meeting will be revealed.

they would blame iran partly for this latest flareup in fighting between israel and hamas. s. >> will the diplomatic effort find an end to the violence? we'll move to vienna where leaders met to speak about iran's nuclear program, but there has been a shift. james bays give some of the signals coming out of the u.s. one has to wonder how much of an appetite there is to arrange for an immediate cease-fire. >> reporter: well, i think you picked on the right word, immediate. i heard that word from the french foreign minister just a few minutes ago. i heard it from william hague, the british foreign minister. but when you hear the u.s. talk about this, you don't hear the word immediate. it seems to suggest that the u.s. is prepared to allow the israeli military some more time for further bombardment of

gaza. what is also clear here is that some of these two issues, which are being discussed here, the fast approaching deadline trying to do a deal on the nuclear program and gaza are coming together because u.s. officials have been saying that they believe that some of those rockets that hamas is firing come from the iranians, and they suggest they'll be raising that with the iranians. whether that will be raised i can't tell you because right now behind closed doors john kerry is meeting with his iranian counterpart. we have no information yet but will in the coming hours. >> james bays, thank you. let's go to political analyst live from london. thanthank you for being with us. we have netanyahu saying the operation could take a long time. we have military officers talking about a mighty strike on

gaza. to do what? what is the goal? >> well, you know, usually if the record is of any significance it's what the israelis call mowing the lawn, which is a despicable term which treats people as grass. whatever the power of hamas or the palestinian grows that it has to be cut to size. but in this particular case there is a good number of objectives here both military and political. the military one is, of course, decapitate hamas, to weaken its capacity to shoot rockets and to organize oh, and to weaken the popularity within the gaza strip and the west bank. but more importantly the politics is very important. it's meant to weaken and even bomb, if you will, the government that was established between hamas and fattah.

a government that was recognized by israel's own close allies in europe and the united states. and of course what is important for netanyahu is to keep his own coalition together. you know, there are people in this coalition that is more right winged than netanyahu. this escalation brings them-- >> can any of that be achieved? aside from the domestic political calculations. israel has gone into gaza before, and here we're a few years later and we are a talking about destroying hamas, and down grading their rocket-firing capability. there is a certain sense of déjà vu isn't there? >> well, it is deja vu and it is not. hamas comes back stronger than before. we see that in lebanon as well. they continue to do more of the same, but the results are getting bad to worse.

the fact that hamas could launch hundreds of missiles, some of them can reach as far as tel aviv. that we have not even season from lebanon's hezbollah. now they have the capacity to hit israel. that means that israel's deterrence is over. there is what is called a balance of terror between hamas and israel. mind you, and perhaps this is not politically correct what i'm going to say next, but for a long time israel, hamas was spitting on israelis, humiliating them without hurting them. but 10,000 missiles a day on israeli cities that will end up crippling the israeli economy that would destroy entire decades of military doctrine. >> thanks for that.

>> go to www.aljazeera.com. check it out. >> lots more coming up on the news hour including we hear from a fisherman in thailand who was enslaved to catch seafood for western tables. next will it be germany or argentina? the countdown to the world cup final. we'll take you to another hot spot where ukraine call i has reported deaths inside it's

own territory. >> reporter: they deny firing into russian territory. and forces may have started on advance in ukraine. they have been moved out of maryinka after homes were bombarded in the night. >> reporter: after the advance of ukrainian forces continue, russia claims there are casualties on their side of the border. they say a shell landed region killing one man injuring two. russian foreign ministry called it an aggressive act and it will be dealt with accordingly. officials deny the ago. we visit an area outside of donetsk. it was attacked saturday. >> reporter: we're just outside of maryinka where six civilians were killed saturday morning.

in the last 90 minutes we have seen and heard incoming mortar rounds. you can see the plumes of smoke over my shoulder. someone set fire to nearby wheat field. some of the separatist fighters just a few hundred meters from sunday's attack are expecting more. they asked not to be named. >> the situation is difficult in donetsk. children are scared. they'll bear scars forever. what shall we do? we're waiting for them. it's our land. it's not us who came to them. they came here. >> reporter: the second day of attacks has set more civilians out of maryinka. >> it's terrible words can't describe the death of my despair. i saw factories burning and buildings being destroyed. i was in the middle of it all and i couldn't do anything.

everyone was shaking from fear. >> reporter: a fear that will spread to more people in this part of eastern ukraine as both sides of this conflict refuse to back down and refuse to talk. >> fire has destroyed two bank offices in ukraine targeting a company owned by an outspoken olagart. it's part of the powerful group which is co-owned by newly appointed governor. the russian president vladimir putin and the german chancellor angela merkel has met in brazil. the pair have been in regular contact. she said she doubts that the u.s. will stop spying on germany and they have different ideas

about collecting intelligence. she went on to say in a comment. they found a suspected spy in the defense ministry and a foreign intelligence worker was arrested on suspicion of being a c.i.a. informant. we have more from a former c.i.a. intelligence analysts. merkel made it clear that she thinks it's unacceptable that allies to be spying on each other. is there any way that the u.s. will change their ways on this? >> no chance. they've had months to mull this over. what grates the germans is they can't achieve the at the same time doestatus that the u.k. has. what's awkward is they're so

dependent on their relationship with the united states for intelligence, it was testified before the bundestag that the german service is an abe appendage of the u.s. establishment. the germans are very worried about that. they see the need of sharing intelligence. they're so inextricably wound up, enmeshed in one another that even merkel when she complains about that says that there will be no di munition of cooperation. >> they must have known for some time that this was going on. >> what line was crossed for the germans.

>> there are a whole string of abuses. angela merkel's cell phone. it's the revelation by the nsa by ed snowden that nsa is semiing on everything that comes through germany. everything is in access there. they testified about that to the bundestag, and now this, two apparent u.s. spies. now these are trifling matters compared with ukraine. and this is where the big game is being played. as we have in rei rio de janeiro today, poroshenko is going to come. putin said i'm not going to meet with this guy until there is a cease-fire. and merkel and putin met together, called for a cease-fire. this comes of conversations between putin, merkel, hollande

of paris, and poroshenko himself two sundays ago in which they pleaded with him to renew the cease-fire. poroshenko thumbed his nose and the u.s. is the only country supporting poroshenko saying like we say of israel, they have the right to defend themselves. so it's the u.s. and poroshenko who are isolated here, and the meetings in rio de janeiro are just symptomatic of the new situation. these little spy capers are not going to effect the more important calculous here where we have for the first time since before the war in iraq the french and the germans saying no, we're not going to aid and abet a new war this time in ukraine. >> thanks very much, indeed, for taking the time to talk with us. >> you're welcome. >> we will have more in the news

hour. >> the prime minister said his country is o on alert after north korea launched more missiles. it is thought to be scud missiles. algeria prime minister minister said that they have been attacked for the second time, a bomb killing three soldiers in four cars. 13 other soldiers were killed back in april. six people have been killed during fighting near libya's main airport in tripoli, and the aircraft gunfire explosions were heard in and around the area. militia controls the area and was attacked by another rebel group. it's the worst fighting in the area for six months. all flights in and out of the airport have been canceled.

afghanistan's presidential rivals have agreed to a full recount cast in last month's run off election. the deal was aimed to end a deadlock over the results. jennifer glasse reports from kabul. >> reporter: the break through afghans were waiting for. candidates abdullah and ghani at a stalemate and now finally in an agreement as they decide the next president. in kabul the effect was immediate. prices dropped a fraction and the afghan currency rose against the dollar. >> reporter: now are you happier? >> people are happier now. they want an unified government. the biggest worry was security. we were concerned that the civil war would be repeated. >> reporter: at least for today that tension is gone, he says. his renewed optimism for a

renewed and stable afghanistan. >> reporter: cooking oil, rice, sugar, shop keepers hearsay business has been stagnant for months because of the political uncertainty. now just a few hours after the deal they think things are move ohing again. >> reporter: unloading sugar from pakistan. shipment had slowed to a trickle and there were fewer jobs. he hopes that will change. >> it does not affect just my life. it affects all afghans. we don't care who takes power. we want to know what our future will be. >> reporter: it may take a few weeks to review all 8 million ballots but after months of concern news of the deal to move forward has been enough to give afghans hope for now. jennifer glasse, al jazeera, kabul. >> now the leader of nigeria's armed group boko haram said he supports the rebel group fighting in iraq and syria calling themselves the islamic state and confirms he ordered

two bombings in nigeria last month. one was in a shopping district. and one was at a fuel area. we have more from the nigerian capital abuja. >> reporter: a clear indication that boko haram is sending signals that it can and is extending it's reach. the leader of boko haram is saying he's responsible for attacks at the heart of the capitol here in abuja and in the ski city lagos further south. sending the message to the government that they're extending their reach beyond where they originally claimed attacks. the bombing o of the plaza that killed 20 people and the explosion in lagos which the

government at the time said it was the result of an industrial accident. >> now in brazil thousands of police have been set to rio de janeiro for the final of the football world cup. gabrielle is live for us. judging by the crowds behind you, i would say there is no lack of enthusiasm where you are. >> reporter: tens of thousands of people are packed in to watch the screens that you see behind me. what you don't see on the other side of the camera, there are tens of thousand ohs of fans

here on the beach. big screens. it feels like an argentina home game, if you might imagine. the vast majority of the fans here are from acting. argentina. they're expecting 100,000. germany fans as well, but no doubt about it here at the fanfest, the north is argentine fans, and they're trying to will their game to victory. >> that must be posing logistic challenges to authorities there, right? >> reporter: oh, absolutely it is. brazil in the city of rio have more than 30,000 police here in the city right now.

just around the stadium there is about 25,000, but there are several thousand here in th copa cabana area. we've actually seen troops, army soldiers patrolling up and down the copa cabana beach here just monitoring things. this is a huge undertaking. we've seen a couple of protests here in the city. but they're very small 37 just a couple of hundred people. but beyond the protest it is a real logistical challenge for brazil. they want to get through this michael match with no major incident. there are so many argentine fans here that it as what was going to be a huge number of tourists here already, sammy. >> ga

>> in brazil thousands of police are sent in to help the final of the world cup. argentina preparing to take on germany. >> more on the crisis in india now. anif we could start with the latest developments. 70,000 people on the move from northern gaza, i imagine many of them are children. >> indeed, sammy. many of them are children, and they've been undergoing terrifying experiences over the past week. the shelling and rocket and missiles strikes have been relentless hour by hour, throughout the day and night. this is causing extreme distress

for children who are exhibiting all kind of behavioral issues and other impact as a result of that. many have seen directly firsthand things that they never should have seen or should never see as children in terms of the impact that such strikes have. there is, as you mentioned, over 160 people have been killed. now a quarter of those are children in terms of the number of civilians. that's the same going for injuries. a quarter of the total number of those injured are children. this is a heavy price for them to pay. >> when you talk about israeli officials they tell you no, we do things like warning shots, and warning target attacks. i'm wondering, listening to what you're saying what extent does that really remove children from

harm's way? >> i think its debatable whether that suffices in terms of precautionary measures. as the u.n. we certainly call on all parties to the conflict to exercise the maximum restraint in insure the protection of children and the targeting of military objects not civilians or civilian properties. >> now, are you able to get out in the field and deal with some of the challenges which this poses to children given the security situation? i mean, that's a challenge for you, too, you live in gaza. >> i do live in gaza, and there is 1.8 million people who live in this tiny sliver of land. and there is nowhere safe for them to go. we had some of the m municipal

water technicians trying to make repairs. three have been killed in the last 24 hours. the risk is tremendously high at the moment which is impeding our ability to respond. we're very much in a readiness mode. we're in constant touch every moment of the day with our key partners, some of who are on the ground such as some of the psycho-social teams who are reaching out to children who have lost families or who have been injured. it's tremendously high risk work right now. there are people on the move so the situation continues to change literally hour by hour. >> thank you for sharing your experiences with us, pernille ironside there.

now 32 gunmen from the islamic state have been killed during battles in iraq. 15 have been injured. the islamic state group took control of the town after severe fighting with the iraqi forces. in baghdad, parliament has adjourned until tuesday after a brief meeting. some refused to attend and others were kept by a sandstorm. we're in baghdad with the late latest. >> reporter: due to bad weather the parliamentary session which was supposed to begin at midday has been canceled until tuesday. the kurdish mps who were to fly in were unable to make their flight because of the sandstorm that you see behind me. there is good news. it does look like there is some agreement on the appointment of the speaker of the house. there is a key position.

once they agree on the speaker of the house it kicks in a constitutional process that allows for 45 days to choose the next prime minister of iraq. now, it has been controversial, but it does look like there is agreement that doctor al-jabori may be that speaker. we'll find out on tuesday when parliament finds out once more. they have made more gains taking over a town just 70 kilometers outside of baghdad. they've blown up a bridge there, and they're still making problems for the iraqi army. also on pro islamic state social media accounts they're saying that there is a battle for the refinery raging right now, and they're able--the islamic state has been able to take over some positions on the outskirts of that refinery. so far there has been no word from the government on either of those two attacks.

>> now three al jazeera journalists have now spent 197 days in an egyptian prison accused of helping the outlawed muslim brotherhood. mohamed fahmy, bader mohammed, and peter greste were sentenced to seven years but bader mohammed was given an extra three years because of a spent empty bullet cartridge that he picked up at a protest. pope francis is being quoted as saying reliable da at a indicates 2% of clergy in the catholic church are pedophiles. let's get more from lauren in london. >> reporter: yes, the pope's comments came in an interview presented by the italian newspaper. he likened the abuse of children in the church to leprosy. he said the 2% of pedophiles are priests, even bishops and cardinals, and others, more

numerous, know but keep quiet, punishing but without giving the reason. but the cat van ha vatican said that some is not court. =fplthethe pope called for prayer for peace and urged leaders not to spare any effort to put an end to all hostilitie. police in northern ireland have braise praised the responsible behavior of the march which was largely peaceful. it celebrates the 17th century king. we have more from belfast. >> reporter: the nationalist shops, the catholic area just here and just a few meters away this is as far as the orange men

march would have been allowed to come. for once argument and negotiation won the day over violence. but this issue of contentious parade is far from over. it's one of the last unresolved issues of the northern ireland peace deal. and the orange men, the unionists are talking increasingly of a serial graduatcircle graduated response. this could mean marcos towns i a march across northern ireland. the orange men protest camp has been here a year already. it's a cost that the police cannot sustain. so that's why everyone here is hoping, like the first peaceful july 12th march for many years, like that, negotiation will become the norm here in northern

ireland. >> an exit poll in slovenia dates that a new party has won the most votes i. the 50-year-old's party has won 61st percent of the ballot. it calls for the resignation of the prime minister after she lost the power struggle in her own party. he will be tasked with the troubling economy. family, friends and former colleagues pay respect to the 86 of-year-old for his service. his coffin was carried to the grounds of the presidential residence to be buried next to his wife. that's the news from europe. back to sammy in doha. >> thanks so much, lauren. now th one local company is

seeing a potential business opportunity. we have reports katse dam. >> reporter: it's sells water to south africa. the surprise in this small land locked country is a young but successful agriculture venture. most people said it would never work. but the fish is so good all 1500 tons of it is exported to japan for sashimi and sushi. >> in terms of quality and it gives us an unique tasting and textured product. >> reporter: workers clean the fish tanks 4 hours a day. many were relocated because of the reservoir and the government

compensation payouts. the jobs are sustainable and valuable where "n" a country where one in four people are unemployed. valley tina was a laborer on the fish farm construction site. now he's studying for a certificate in agriculture. >> some of them, didn't think it would happen. >> reporter: sitsane is encouraged. they want to hand the business over to the community. >> reporter: at the moment it is exported whole but there are plans to start selling it here which will create lots more jobs. every month the local news is updated on the business and they plan to expand it. >> the company reports back on sales and costs. they advised us to come up with other projects so we're looking into agricultural ideas. >> reporter: in the mountains of

lestu, a village and company are working on a project thanks to an idea in a land locked country that is proving successful. >> reports of human trafficking is accusing thailand of failing to prosecute those accused of trafficking. >> reporter: enslaved to provide prawns on dining tables around the world. this man, who didn't want to be identified, described his experience. >> i was forced to work on the ship. on the boat beating up is normal, but they were never so brutal that they killed anyone. but there are case where is people died when they fell off boats. on the boat if you don't know how to work it's very

difficult. if we dropped one fish we would be punished. if anyone wasn't used to working on the boat it would take a long time. we would work from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. >> it's back-breaking work supplying the world's supermarkets with seafood. most of theme people are from myanmar part of the migrant works who are essential to thailand's economy. an u.s. government report on trafficked persons is seen as the benchmark of the willingness of government to act against trafficking. it found corruption in thailand which the report says happens at all levels has got in the way of significant progress. >> the government also wants to take advantage of human trafficking and migrant labor so the problems are not solved. if we can't confront the vested

interest of government officials and traffickers the problems will never be solved. >> reporter: thailand's government disagreed with the u.s. decision arguing it had made significant advances against human trafficking. the ruling military council also blames the corruption of previous administrations. the global slavery index says it believes half a million people are believed to be enslaved here. there are horrific conditions on boats like this with people being sold for as little as $20 each and made to work for years without pay. the investigations will found that traffickers are respond to go international scrutiny with new methods that are harder to detect. >> reporter: these cases have led some supermarket chains so block and boycott suppliers. >> coming off for the

last-minute news for the world cup final between germany and argentina just minutes away from kick off in rio de janeiro. and we'll get an o sense of

>> welcome back to get the big one. >> after a month of football involving 32 countries it's either german or argentina who will be leaving brazil as world champions. kick off is just a few minutes

away. both nations are unchanged from the semifinal wins over brazil. thgermany can become the first european team to win a world cup on south american soil. but to do that they'll have to beat argentina. we'll get the argentinian perspective. daniel, does it get any better for the argentinian fans? if they could beat brazil in that final. >> there are tens of thousands of people behind me. several screens.

people here are incredibly excited and keyed up for this final. we're seeing a gradual progression and emotion and i think the argentinians feel they've reached the peak. they're very excited. >> the lost decade has been one of frustration. lots of players show the under company world cup. messi was a top scorer in that competition. is there a feeling now that they have shown so much problem tha. >> there was a great of frustration i think, they had a

great team in 2006. they fell against the germans in 2010. a great frustration in that one. it seems to be the team that puts an end to the opens and ambitions. an important game was 1986 world cup final. >> thank you much for that. we'll go to berlin where nick spicer, our correspondent, is joining us in the german capitol. the quiet confidence, has the 7-1 win changing everything? >> reporter: i think the german team has tried to be magnanimo

magnanimous. they've been tweeting thank you to brazil in the 7-1 route. and it's definitely on people's minds. we're covering it, five goals scored in a half hour. people have felt that they had won, which, indeed, the team did, by halftime. the expectations are very high. some people will tell you-- [ man singing behind reporter ] >> as you can see people are pretty convinced you're going to win. germany is going to win? >> germany will win. >> well done. and done on television. well done for that young man there. we'll leave it there for now. the last time the germany they reached the world cup final

was 2002 and they lost to brazil. >> it went out for the final and lost the final. everyone is hoping and expecting that this time we can take the cup home to germany. sometimes you have a mind that will have the possibilities. on one hand you have the experience. and on the other hand you have the history that we could win something. >> now for the final world just one man to speak to. we're going to go to lee wellings. you said all along that a south american team would win this tournament. but having watched these teams closer over the past month and everything you've seen, do you think argentina can beat this german side given it's current

form? >> reporter: well, most people who have been watching the tournament will come to the conclusion that germany are the favorites, perhaps clear favorites. that's not surprising. i think people are prone to remember the wins than some of their struggles being outplayed by algeria and not that convincing against ghana. i think it will be the strongest german team that will show up for this one, but i think argentina is being underrated. why criticize them for not conceding goals in the knock out stages? they're the only team in the tournament who have been properly tied. then they took over an overreliance on messi, but he's their plan to turn games, and highways been marked so closely, and they still find ways to win games. i think argentina has been impressive as germany, and

perhaps more impressive in its own way. >> when you think that argentina is getting better and better, and they peak for this final? >> reporter: yes, i do. i mean i said right from the start this is south america. let's remind ourselves no european side has ever won a world cup here. people are making a presumption that it's germany's to take or win. german will achieve that. i can't think of any greater achievement in football history. to come here at the end of a long season and win a world cup here, to pete argentina, that would be incredible. but i don't think people should be expecting to blow argentina away. look how tight they are. look at how well the manager has done taking the team to this format. they've had tougher games all along. some of their opponents people dismiss wrongly.

i thought the game between argentina and bosnia was one of the best, but it didn't have that explosive scoring that the others did. and germany fit in that crazier side of things. >> okay, lee, thank you very much for that. we'll join with you later on, no doubt. don't forget you can follow all the latest on the world cup final on our website. head to www.aljazeera.co www.aljazeera.com/brazil 2014. marquez has made an incredible nine out of nine. the 21-year-old had to start from the pit lane from the german grand prix after switch to go slick ties, but marquez claim the lead before going to victory. the spaniard on course to defend his championship in record time. in germany' germany, the

when i met the president, he did say, i borrowed your slogan. >> activist and presidential medal of freedom winner coined the phrase, "yes, we can." the mantra became barack intaps's call to vote. she co-founded the united farm worker's union. >> when you think of this humiliate people and oppress them and not providing the basic human needs they have is just a
