you on? borderland, tomorrow at 9 eastern, only on al jazeera america. >> israel says it won't attend peace talks in egypt. it does pull tanks back from some areas. we'll havwe're live with the latest. west africas outbreak africa out breaks of ebola, and an american doctor is flown home for treatment.

smuggling in gold, it seems to be a daily event. >> israel searching for a soldier who was abducted shortly after the 72-hour truce. there are tanks pulling out of some areas. israel said residents of some towns can stay home but warned that hamas may have booby trapped some buildings. we're live in gaza. nicole, some signs of pull out. what is the scale of this and what stays are you getting? >> reporter: it's difficult to really put a figure on the scale of it at this table, but as you

say it's only happening in some areas. we can say ourselves that we did see tanks pulling out in the area north where people had been told that they can return to their homes. however, the people that we met, they had no intention of returning home tonight. they're still very fearful of the situation. it is very unstable on the ground. and as those tanks were withdrawing still inside gaza close to the israeli border they are continuing to fire. so people didn't want to be spending the night in their homes. however, they did go back briefly. some people to pick up mattresses, blankets, see if their house was still standing. we're told that israeli tanks had pulled back in the area east. around a week ago there was a heavy battle there, and it's still being difficult for emergency teams and for people to angrier that area to find out

what has really gone on. and there are reports that israeli tanks are still in areas where there has been heavy bom bomb barredment. they're still east of gaza city and also around a week and a half ago suffered a heavy bombardment and attack that left around 80 people dead. >> and nicole, you mentioned people were spending nights again in u.n. shelters. explain what life is like in those shelters, and what kind of conditions people are facing? >> reporter: well, the one we were just at had four and a half thousand people staying there. the u.n. people running it said that they had enough space and enough resources to look after over where people are camped and people are doing the best they

can to keep it clean and orderly, but it is very difficult. you know, the tension is high. people are exhausted. tempers are fraying with so many families living in such close quarters together. they say there is not enough food. there is not enough water or mattresses, and people are desperate to go home. there have been cease fires that have not held. there have been a number of occasions where people return to their houses, albeit briefly and then they are fired upon. no one we spoke to is planning on heeding the israeli army. they said they will wait and see how the situation is for the next 24 hours. and if it comes down then they would consider going home. >> and nicole originally the cease-fire which lasted so very little time, it was supposed to allow people a chance to get more food and supplies, and presumably they did not have a chance to do that.

people are not in shelters, they're staying at home, and they're running out of food and water as well? >> reporter: when people get a chance they do go out on the streets and try resupply, they say they have no choice but yes, in people's houses where you've got large extended families who are all sort of staying together because people have had to evacuate from their homes. in some cases we're hearing of 50, 80 people who are staying in one apartment. they're running out of food particularly bread is being difficult to come by. there are huge queues for cooking gas. obviously the electricity is a disaster. there is next to no electricity in the gaza strip. when people get a chance they do go out and go shopping and we have seen people out and about. it seems that the scale of the

attacks and bombardment city in the last few hours has dropped off somewhat. we had an airstrike in the central part of gaza. two people were killed. and the concentration seems to be on rafa. that's an area that is difficult to get to. ambulances say that they can't get around because of constant airstrikes and bombardment. in gaza city it has been quieter. >> thank you for bringing us up-to-date on gaza. there is no sign of abating. 1,672 palestinians have died in the israeli placing. the u.n. estimates 80% of them are civilian. among them, 834 ar 343 are

children. 1el 6 women and 58 elderly men. 254,000 palestinians are in u.n. shelters escaping the bombardment. any indications what they amount to say. >> reporter: we're getting some indications from israeli officials. what is the most important pointer is what the military is now saying. they say they're close to having destroyed most of the tunnels in gaza. they believe that operation is nearly compete. some suggesting that they may have the operation completed within 24 hours. there is speculation in israeli media that those announcements from the military may be a preparation for prime minister netanyahu when he dresses the israeli people to announce he's going to start pulling his troops out of gas. we've heard some units look like they are leaving. and the suggestion is that there

could be an unilateral pull out within 48 hours. now if that is true, that also then--there were questions that we need to answer. does that mean that the israelis have finished that operation? will that be followed by unilateral cease-fire? even though they call the ground troops will the air campaign, the bombardment of gaza continue. there are some difficulties for prime minister netanyahu if he's trying to bring this campaign to a close. that's the public expectation is very, very high. the media here has been listening to some of the right of center applications, some of whom who said the aim of this campaign needs to be completely to destroy hamas. i think there will be some difficulty trying to sell this if he is ending the whole operation, that's not clear yet, to sell this to the israeli public. now the other thing that i this presents a difficulty for the prime minister is that missing

israeli soldier. the soldier who has been captured or at least the israelis say he has been captured because he is still unaccounted for. and just moments ago in the last half hour israeli television there was a live news conference with his family, his father addressing the israeli people, addressing prime minister netanyahu saying do not pull out of gaza until you have found our son. it was an emotion press conference. the father was surrounded by his wife and other members of his family, by the brother and sister. now on the same tv screens in a few moment prime minister netanyahu has to address his people. >> thank you very much, indeed. around the world there have been protests against the israeli offensive. thousands of people march in the

quality of kuala human par. thousands of people have do you think the fate of the israeli soldier will be a part in his message. >> yes, he has to go through the psychological pressure that is clearly placed upon the government and the military by the family of golden, against the fact that very serious possibility that there could be not only more soldier casualties, but potentially more kidnap. the longer the troops stay on the ground. so it's difficult line for him

to walk. >> and in a moment we have reports that may be the pulling out of troops. the unilatera unilateral cease-fire. there seems to be movement of tanks. if they move the existing tanks out do you think they'll continue with the aerial offensive? >> it does look like they're preparing the ground for declaring success in some form, but not necessarily to say that they're ending the operation all together. and if we remember the cease-fire that brought down actually did technically permit them to continue you their operations on the ground and the tunnels. since the soldier was captured around rafa. and since the bombardment was heaviest at rafa in the name of israeli doctrine that says when an episode like that occurs, you

shell the area trying to kill the soldier and prevent the kidnappers were getting away from him. the capacity to do some part of the operation and to respond again in force if hamas does something further. i think we should expect that. >> what about potential longer term discussions about what happens next in the region? that was originally that was supposed to pave the way for longer term negotiations on improving the situation. how far are we from that now? and in position where we were a couple of days ago? >> as your course upon debt pointed out the pressure inside israel is to do more than just destroy the tunnels and stop the rocket fire. and any negotiation that has included hamas would be running counter to that pressure to destroy the organization. on the international level,

however, the debate is to what extent should hamas be involved in agreeing a cease-fire and that will have to do with what hamas' role will be in the future. and you could argue from the hamas point of view they already run the argument because of the appalling death toll and injuries on the palestinian side. they're seen to be the weak who have been victim of an overarching use of force. >> does the balance shift? we heard from president obama. he laid the blame on them after the truce broke down and was essentially saying even if they hadn't or have kidnapped a soldier they were signing up for the cease-fire with the palestinian factions. that's almost irrelevant. do you think that balance shifted away from palestinians? >> it depends on who you talk to. not in terms of the supporters

of the palestinians. we were hearing about the demonstrations around the world. and then if you think of the episode that ended the cease-fire it has to do with some militant palestinian militants emerging from the tunnel encountering israeli soldiers to expect that either side would hold fire because of a cease-fire in those circumstances is a tall horde. the battle was in effect continuing on the ground. israelis in pursuit of palestinians hiding in items. er to equate this with rockets firing from hamas to israel would break the cease-fire that would break what hamas had agreed to.

but the fight on the ground should really be no surprise. >> the latest israeli shelling has destroyed a historying mosque and islamic university in gaza city. we have more. through the smoke and ash a scene of total destruction. they have stood here for 30 years but in a matter of minutes it was reduced to republic by eight israeli missiles. people tried to sal valve from the he can wreckage. >> we raised money for years to build this mosque. dollar by dollar people have donated. we've raised $3 million so we have a place to pray and a place for our children to learn religion. but the israelis have destroyed

it. they burned our qur'an. >> reporter: s no it's not just the mosque that has been completely destroyed. dozens of others have been, too. since the all the on gaza began 60 hours of worship have been destroyed by air strike. once a place of refuge in times of war, now a place of destruction. israel's 2008 and 2009 bombardment of the coastal strip has all been ruined. recently it was opened to student but people are not sure that it will be rebuilt again. >> everything is being targeted. the mosques, hospitals, everything. what do they do? the israelis should fight the resistence face to face and not target civilian areas. >> reporter: more often than not

it's civilian areas that are argentinaed and those who survive are left to pick up the pieces. al jazeera, gaza. >> let's take you to washington, d.c. what's the state of the demonstration, kimberly? >> i apologize, i didn't hear that question, but i can tell you that it's very noisy here. i can tell you that emotions are running very high. that's because this is by far one of the largest protests, largest showing outside of the white house since the start of the israeli attacks on gaza. there have been daily protests, but numbering somewhere in several thousand a growing number of americans come to show a message to the obama white house, but their personal view is not in line with the government view.

their unconditional support of israel is not something that they can no longer support with their tax dollars going to funding the israeli military and it's attacks on palestinian civilians. >> thank you very much, indeed. we're up-to-date on all the developments. we have live blogs. and much more. that's all at www.aljazeera.com. much more to come including the spotlight in china after 70 people were killed in a heat of explosion in a factor. the fighting in ukraine's east, many people say it's just too dangerous to stay. and getting ready to run for gold at the commonwealth games.

>> the u.s. food and drug administration say it's developing a drug to combat ebola. there is no cure for the disease but there are efforts to keep it from spreading. the passengers effected with ebodubai emirates has suspended flights until january. >> reporter: uniting against ebola. this is sierra leone's capital who are on a campaign to spread the word. a killer that has now taken more than 700 lives in sierra leone, liberia and guinea this year. the heads of those african

nations have agreed to create an isolation zone. they've been meeting with the "world health organization" chief who make this appeal to the international community. >> this is the laterallest outbreak since ebola identified in 1976, and some medical staff treating victims have themselves become infected. two sickened aid workers in liberia are bean flown in for treatment. the first time that an infected person has entered the united states. >> they've become infected through medical care, and we feel that we have the environment and expertise to safely care for these patients and offer them maximum

opportunity for recovery of these infections. >> reporter: ebola is highly contagious, and yet outbreaks have largely been restricted to africa. >> reporter: it's only a threat to countries that might not have the same infection control practices and materials and disease surveillance systems. >> reporter: ebola is life-threatening to humans and attacks every cell in the body. right now there are no vaccines for ebola and one that they say needs to be addressed. >> rocket fire from fighting has set war overnight. in bengahzi the republican gat

renegade general haftar has taken control of the city. let's take to you tel aviv and live coverage of a news conference that is about to start with primary benjamin netanyahu. we understand that he'll be speaking hebrew. james, he's going to be talking in hebrew. do you have any more information about the content? >> reporter: well, the content of the speech is an important speech coming moments after we have been hearing comments from the israeli military who say that they are near the completion of their work in gaza with regard to their tunnels which all the focus has been on in israeli media. they say they're nearing their

task of destroying the tunnels. that will be one of the things that the prime minister will say. he said now that the army has continued to bring calm to israel. meanwhile, our other troops have neutralized tunnels. the focus of those tunnels in the israeli media have become very much the focus. they're concerned about the idea that hamas fighters can make their way through tunnels and make their way through israeli territory. it was a tunnel that led to the collapse of the 72-hour cease-fire after a couple of hours. when trail troops were trying to decommission that tunnel there were a suicide-bomber who came out of the tunnel, killed two troops and captured another one. that's what i is ended peace

talks in cairo. he's saying they have destroyed thousands of these infrastructures. what is interesting about this speech is that it comes just a short time on the same israeli television channels the family of the captured soldier hada golden was speaking to the address, and they were directing to prime minister netanyahu that he should not pull out from gaza, that that would an mistake to pull out from gaza, and this were pleading him not to do so until the lieutenant had been recovered. it was an emotional news conference as the father of the soldier spoke to supporters. the twin sister of the captured soldier was one of those family members, and she was crying

throughout the news conference. so a very difficult task i think for prime minister netanyahu addressing the nation at this point after israelis have just seen that news conference. we're led to believe that he's likely to tell israelis that part of the campaign at least is coming to an end but remember the expectations of the israeli public. they have been led to believe by some of the hard liners in the cabinet that this campaign can completely destroy has, and when you speak to israelis. when you look at the opinion polls you see that they're firmly behind a continuation even an escalation of the campaign. even as we suspect the prime minister is about to announce the pull out of grouped troops it will be interesting to see how israeli public response to that and how the other political figures response to that. it's coalition politics in israel. he's saying now that the israeli troops have made substantial accomplishments and he's also

addressing the issue of the captured soldier. he said i understand the position of the captured soldier and i will talk to them tonight. he's understanding that the viewers who just watched this speech live just watched the family of the missing soldier. >> you mentioned the missing soldier. how important has this been in the past with the negotiations and exchanges when soldiers have been missing or dead? >> well, it has in the past with a particular negotiating chip that hamas were able to use and over a thousand palestinians on that occasion were exchanged for the release. a comment on the missing soldiers from prime minister netanyahu, we'll do everything

to bring the missing soldier home as he continues to address the israeli people. this is being billed by as an important speech and he's remi reminding viewers what has happened in the la few hours. telling people that the campaign would continue and they would go on until they destroyed all of those tunnels. then of course hours later we have this plan for the 72 hour cease-fire. that cease-fire collapsed because of the capture of the soldier the israelis say, and certainly it led to heavy bombardment by the military in gaza. they say it doesn't matter how much time it will take they will achieve their goals suggesting that the idea that they're about to finish the operation which certainly was being floated in the israeli media may be incorrect.

he says it doesn't matter how much time it will take we will achieve our goals. there are reports on the ground of some army units pulling back from gaza, and suggestions that the ground campaign may be brought to an end in the next 48 hours. that has not been announced by the israeli prime minister. he knows the challenges that he faces with regards to the israeli public and others in the israeli political class. there are hard liners in the cabinet and security cabinet, people like the foreign minister and naftali bent who we are told is critical of netanyahu's handling of this, and would like to see a tougher handling of this campaign. but others will tell that you that is not possible, that hamas

is very much a part of the fabric of the saturday in gaza. he's talking again about hamas in the speech. he said that hamas wants israelis who live in southern israel to suffer. we know that the efforts that have been trying to take place were brokered by the u.n. and there is a great deal of criticism of the u.n. and u.s. and a great deal of criticism of the u.s. as well. behind the scenes we understand some intense conversations between prime minister netanyahu, and president obama and conversations with secretary of state john kerry. i can say, though, in the speech just now, he praise obama and kerry for saying that hamas violated the cease-fire. he's making it clear that what he says is backed by president obama and john kerney. so those are the words of the

prime minister addressing the nation. he has now finished his speech and other officials now addressing the media. >> james, when you mention the fact that he was saying that they'll continue--he doesn't know how long it will take to achieve our goals, and if they do withdraw on the ground operation, there is a potential for continuing airborne rockets, will that be likely? >> reporter: i think it depends on what hamas does. i think it is likely if the rockets continue. that is certainly a possibility that the air campaign could continue at that stage. just one more line now from the defense minister now. story, no, the defense minister is speaking. this there is something else that he says, the israeli army will continue to work to achieve our goals.

so it's clear that some of the reports that we have of ground forces pulling out, that may be the case, but that's not being announced now. they seem to be continuing with their operation for now even though the israeli military is continuing to close those tunnels. the word is that the military operation in gaza continues. >> james, has there been criticism of the israeli army or the intelligence system for the scale of the tunnels and perhaps they were taken by surprise by how far hamas fighters or others could get into israel. has there been much criticism at the top? obviously the scale and sophistication of the tunnel in the work, one was joking that

the tunnel net work shows that perhaps hams was plan to go dig for oil. they were shocked by it, but at a time of war not a lot of criticism, which to me was a bit of a surprise that the israeli diligence who has such a good grip of what is going on in gaza, we're told they only have their drones and spy capabilities, they clearly have spries on the ground. israel has always operated spice on the ground in the palestinians territories ever since the creation of the state of israel, but they did not know enough about this. there is no criticism that i'm seeing in the media right now, but i suppose they'll address what went right and wrong in this war. >> what's next? we know that israel decided not to send anyone to cairo. where does that leave any

potential negotiations for the fulfillment? the military track is the one that israel is taking for now. as we now here the operation continues in gaza. i think the focus will be on the civilians in gaza, and the mounting humanitarian problems in gaza are being caused by the israeli military onslaught. a few more lines, hamas is paying a heavy price. hundreds of their men have been killed, and also an explanation of one of those attacks we saw in the last few hours the

islamic was hit because of the manufacturing of weapons, we're told. >> what do you think the reaction will be there of the news, "n is saying that they'll continue to fight to prevent attacks from gaza even after a tunnel is destroyed. >> reporter: there have been rumors of an unilateral cease-fire. that has not happened. people here are desperate for some kind of end to the fighting. i'll be very concerned to know what exactly does this mean from the israeli fighters? does this mean that it will continue incursions into gaza? will it continue airstrikes? does it mean that it will

withdraw its troops and it's tanks back to the border? at this stage people really don't know. they're grateful concerned about what the next phase it. they're confused about what is going on. on one hand they have been told to return. every in gaza has wanted some sort of cease-fire, an easing or total end to it. some people are concerned if israel is withdrawing troops and tanks over the next few days or however long it is that could mean from a palestinian perspective nothing is going to change.

>> give us an idea for those who are joining us about where the fighting has been worse during the day in gaza. the heaviest fighting has been in the southern border town of rafa. it has been going on for well over 4 hours now. there has been a heavy campaign by the israeli military as well as fighters from the palestinian factions. that area really heated up once these reports came out of an israeli soldier missing in the area. difficult for ambulances and emergency cruise to get to that area. that's where the real focus has been. it's been a little bit quieter. relatively speaking in the north and east. we've had reports over the last few hours and some of those tanks are now moving closer back to the israeli border. closer to the buffer zone area

inside gaza, but for now rafa is still under heavy attack. >> thank you very much, indeed. let's bring in james bays. on the whole are we looking at a picture where we might see more of these tanks from what your interpretation of this news conference is so far in gaza? >> well, we're hearing not in escalation but continuation, and a lot of focus of the initial statements was about the captured soldier. they'll continue their work to try and recover the captured soldier. the prime minister making it clear that they have, he says a lot of work to destroy what he describes as terror infrastructures but that work will continue. right now prime minister netanyahu and the defense militarprime minister are taking questions from reporters.

israel for now not talking cease fires. not talking peace. not talking pull out in any large scale. it's talking continuation of its military operations. >> you mentioned the context there of the soldier who is still missing. do you think som moving people out on the grouped is a safety issue. they want to eliminate the number of casualties before they start losing public support? >> absolutely. 63 soldiers dead. one soldier captured or at least missing because some suggestions in the israeli military that really commanders believe its possible that he, too, is dead. and we have seen the support from the israeli public i any boyed by the media around the clock. and some of the hard line

members of the government suggesting this might be a way to get rid of hamas for good. we've seen those sorts of comments coming out, and certainly the israeli public we have seen demonstration of people against this well, that not all israelis think the same way, but the overwhelming view of the israelis is that they support the operation taking place right now in gaza. >> thank you very much. we're watching the news conference between the israeli prime minister and defense minister. prime minister netanyahu said it will complete destroying tunnels and will continue to act until they achieve our objective. a televised speech and questions continue. and we will deliver any further developments as we get them.

let's move on to syria now. government forces are reported to have killed 50 rebels in a lebanese border. a lebanese general said that soldiers have crossed and attacked a security post. they're demanding the release of one of the groups leaders that was obtained by the army. they're forcing to withdraw from three villages. we're joined by lebanese general. thanks for being with us. our significant is this incursion? >> it's very a new ways. never happened before. because the location o on the syrian border where you have a sunni town within an island of shia where hezbollah is dominant

in the war. it is like a safe haven for other factions. what happened today is not really ad hoc. now it's like 40,000 people you have 100,000 refugees from syria. so the situation has not--it's not good as we hoped for. >> there they take decisive action to keep the fighting from spilling over. how are they going to change how they operate in the area?

>> the mission is very difficult. when you talk about a huge area, when you talk about--if as we heard that they have fallen under the islamic factions. with the population you have pro army and pro islamists, and it depends on can you wage a war? can you go inside it? it's difficult when it's an urban area. one over the army is busy. and it's busy in the south where you have that deployment over--the task is going to be difficult. mainly what is good for the army that it has the political coverage in lebanon. >> do you think this might be a similar scale? do you think the lebanese army

with these kind of bushes? >> it's not just about the lebanese army. it's different from iraq. when you talk about the is, and the former isis in iraq, and it's not the same. because the context is different. you have the army. you have hezbollah. and you have the regime. the syrian regime, and you have this area between the hammer and the anvil. it cannot really--full version of lebanon. the situation, the culture, and the faction. even know the sunnies are against what is hall b happening, and everyone is backing the army. >> thank you very much, indeed, for more on that story. thank you. kurdish troops have fought off an attack from fighters from

the islamic state troop near mosul. 100 fighters and 16 kurds were killed in the fight in the town of zumar. kurdish troops pulled back to allow the iraqi air force to bomb positions. 23 pro government fighters were killed overnight by rebels south of baghdad. three al jazeera journalists have spent 315 days. they were convicted after being falsely accused of helping the outlawed muslim brotherhood. al jazeera continues to demand their release. a blast in the country's worst central accident in a

year. adrian brown has more from the scene. >> reporter: a preliminary inquiry shows the explosion may have been caused by a flame being lit in a dust-filled room making it highly combustible and enough to send a huge fireball tearing through the factory. that was a huge explosion. it was heard more than two kilometers away. the dead has burns that make the bodies almost unrecognizable they're so badly charred. and the bodies of the survivors have 80% burns to them. that's testimony to the power of this explosion. now most of the dead were poor migrant workers from far away provinces. they were working a saturday shift to earn extra money to send home to their families. now, president ping has accepted his vice premiere here to oversee the investigation, and to oversee the continuing rescue operation. five members of the management team of this factory has been

detained. it's understood that the factory is taiwanese owned. soft of the biggest names in the auto industry including general motors in the united states. this brings an unwelcomed spotlight on china's safety in the workplace. in 2012 alone 2,000 workers died and overseas labor organizations say accidents like this is an example of profits being put ahead of safety. >> to eastern ukraine and there has been another day of heavy fighting. the stronghold of luhansk say that the city is on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe, and with shelling from the russia's border, we have reports. >> reporter: this is a sound of

artillery over distance. coming from the town of shatask. the only safe road out this family is leaving. they say part of the town is on fire. there is shooting and all the shops are closed. many people here blame both sides of what they describe as a pointless war. >> we have a civil war here. >> reporter: fighting gets closer so we moved away. ukrainian soldiers were out in this area on friday. there are separatists here now. he used to be a coal miner. i asked him why he's fighting. >> i'm fighting for my motherland, new russia. closest to my heart is donetsk

where my sister and brother are working. for them i will even fight with my bear hands as long as i have bullets i'll be waiting for the enemy and defend my territory. >> reporter: but ukraine says it wants to reunite the country and retake this lost territory. it's a slope that you can see rising in the distance there. it's close to the crash site of mh-17. across towns and villages in this village ukrainians are fighting you vainans, and there is a frustrated sense that there isn't more to bring about a cease-fire. >> reporter: the school playing fields are now empty. those that can are leaving. unsure about when they'll be able to return. al jazeera, eastern ukraine.

this man is suspected of smuggling gold bars. lucky for him it's just a gold necklace and he's allowed to move on. these men are not so lucky. customs officials say they were caught with gold wrapped tightly around their legs. >> smugglers are bringing in gold in many ways. some are bringing it inside the sole of their shoes, others in briefcases. others are in televisions. >> taking it from point a to point b and handing it over to people they don't know. this man said he was paid $60 to smuggle six bars of gold the last time he did it. >> they approached me and asked me if i wanted to do it once

before. the money was good, so i did it again. >> reporter: but it's not hard to figure out where this gold was supposed to be heading. >> while large amounts of gold are being brought in to bangladesh illegally almost every day traders say that it's not effecting their business at all. that's because almost all of the precious medal is headed to neighboring india. india recently raised its import tax on gold. in 2012 before the tax hike gold was seized in bangladesh. last year after the tax hike. more than 20 times as much was seized. this year has been even worse. >> reporter: bangladesh has a demand for smuggled gold. so obviously bangladesh has become a transit route for gold headed to india. >> reporter: there is a silver lining. the gold that is seized is headed over to the bangladesh

bank and it's inadvertently making bangladesh coffers a little richer. >> and now for sport here is andy. >> sergio garcia is still looking good to win the invitational after a stunning second round of 61. seeing the advances after 50 holes. with a five-shot lead, moving 14 under bar. play has been suspended because of lightening. error ohyel roy at 9 under.
