>> i hope you accomplish everything on your list. >> thank you. >> welcome to al jazeera headquarters in doha. i'm jane dutton. egypt fires target inside libya. international pressure mounts on the u.n. to take action. in ukraine both sides in conflict are refusing to pull back from the front line. greece is accused of acting irresponsebly as euro group ministers begin make or break talks on their bailout program. and in pursuit of poachers,

we meet a team credited for taking out two of the rarest predators in the world. >> first to libya where egyptian warplanes have carried out war strikes held by isil. it's in response of beheading of 21 egyptian hostages on the beach. egypt strikes which you can see have caused devastation on the ground, and come at a time of deep crisis. we look at how the egyptian intervention could affect the already fragile security situation there. we have reaction were key players like italy that have cleared out its embassy. and this front right now in

talks with cairo. just the type of hardware that egypt needs to fight isil. and in a show of solidarity the french and egyptian presidents have also issued a joint statement calling for u.n. security council meeting on the crisis in libya. we'll look at all these angles as we begin this news hour but we begin on the ground in egypt where there have been strikes that have killed several people including three children. >> reporter: egypt retaliates. the operation in libya visible for miles away. the military said it was going after targets of isil. but these strikes damaged several buildings and residential areas. civilians were killed, including children. it was just hours after egypt's

president warned it would respond to the killing of 21 egyptians in libya. >> egypt will not only defend itself but the whole region. egypt will react at the right time. >> reporter: egyptian fighter jets took off before dawn. the operation was carried now coordination with its air force. but the rival national congress based in tripoli is denouncing the attacks. >> we strongly condemn the offensive. we deem it an offensive. we're sending out condolences to the family of the victims and we call to end this critical situation. >> reporter: egypt's military has been running a campaign in the sinai peninsula since august of 2012. it's forced to tackle the advance of isil on both sides of its border.

other nations are also concerned. isil met a direct threat to italy in its latest video. the country separated from libya by a narrow strip of the mediterranean has now evacuated its embassy there and is calling for u.n. intervention. al jazeera. >> let's go a view from france now. as we mentioned egypt and france are calling on the u.n. security council to come up with new measures for isil. talk to us about this call on the u.n. at the same time a significant defense deal is about to be signed between the two countries. what's involved in that? >> jane, you're referring to french president and egypt's president in a phone call stressed how worried they were

about the extension of isil's isil in the region. they call on the united nations security council to convene specifically on libya unlike italy, which wants to see reaction by nato. they want to give a mandate through the security council. it's not clear exactly how soon that could happen, but i think they are likely to be more players they'll bring on board in that call for fairly immediate military reaction. françois hollande seems to be getting tough in the region, also there are security issues around so-called jihadis going to the middle east, mainly syria and iraq, but perhaps other countries as well, and returning to europe and carrying out attacks against civilian populations. >> and considering its enormous

refugee problem quite a significant step for embassy to close its embassy. >> that's right. of course, the director worry is greater for italy in terms of what we've been hearing possible isil infiltration of human trafficking to the italian coast. france has its own concerns. not least at the moment, it's economy. they're selling 24 fight fighter jets to egypt. that's a huge boost for the defense industry, and also a boost for egypt as it tries to move away from relying on u.s. provisions and has welcomeed russia's president putin last week and russia boosting its sale of weapons to egypt. there have been criticisms here in france by human rights

groups but i think president holland is only hoping that the economic focus will trump all of that. >> thank you for that live update from paris. let's take a look at the situation in libya right now. it's been descending ever since the overthrow of muammar qaddafi. there is the elected recognized government based in tibruk. but there is a self-declared government called the general national congress based in the capitol, making the situation more complicated is strong man general haftar, who has been appointed defense minister of the tibruk government. they've been fighting in foal control of oil refineries and

the central bank and their bid to consolidate power. let's speak to the director of the tripoli based institute a think tank based on libyan issues. thank you for joining us. el-sisi, he goes into libya. what do you make of the speed of this decision, of this mission? and where is he getting his information from? >> well, i suppose the instrumentalization of foreign policy action is relatively dangerous. there is a catastrophic bush now to responding to libya and a few airstrikes and let's be clear isis this may provide temporary relief in a way that the jordanian airstrikes of isis last week. but in a real sense a few airstrikes is not going to do much in the longer scheme of things. the problem with isis has been generated in decades and it's not going to provide much of a

relief or much of a strategy over an irrational enemy. >> looking at the pictures now that egypt has released of this strike we're not sure at this stage who the targets were, if they got their targets. all we know for sure is that women and children have been killed? >> well, in that respect libya libya--especially with the international crisis--it's an interesting nexus points with local issues and international issues such as isis and the european fear of isis, and in that respect it's a very dangerous time because each side had its eyes on very different targets. on one hand, how to consolidate and get more power in libya. on the other handle, suspending the flow of measures in europe. they can be seen very difficult. on one hand, libya dawn seeing

very much the same, and they want to view it as the old regime. on the other hand, operation dignity wants to view this as much of the same as all terrorists working together. it often distorts the image. a this stage isis is not on anybody's side it's very much on its own side. if you look at the messaging it has, it's very defined at the. they don't want to look at libya as civil war but as this is their land. >> you mentioned general hafar. he told libya media that he's in favor of libyan intervention, saying that it's necessary. >> if there were any terrorist groups on the egyptian side and you were able to hit them, we wouldn't hesitate to fight them. for groups that commit some crimes aren't going to be an

issue. >> general haftar. he's cooperating with egypt and the uae here. how do we know that he's not cooperating with egypt to get rid of his enemies to provide the information that egypt needs? >> well, the statement that was made and i think many of the statements made are truthful their truth in the service of something very sinister and has very little to do with fighting terrorism. it has been a year now since his declaration last year. but very little has changed and very little has been alleviated. he makes no secret of the fact that he wants to work with the egyptian security forces. does he want to fight terrorism? perhaps. does he want to fight terrorism and win something bigger, you can't fight for your survival

and fight isil. there are too many sides to fight this on. the leadership and the operation dawn they're fighting for very different things and fighting terrorism. it's coming at a big cost. because the it's all fueling a very silly fight. a fight that has nothing to do with isis-- >> when you outline then all the front at the moment the fact that there is no oil industry, what happens to libya now? >> what happens to libya is the same as simple wars of this kind have as much fuel in them and can go on, and nothing should be clearer than this. isil is the type of battle that both sides need. they need to realize that isis is not on the side of either of them. you can consolidate and

calibrate a solution that works for both sides and say look, let's get to the needed work here. isis you need to gettier heads around yourself. >> thank you forthank you for helping us get our heads around this issue. in aden three people have been killed by loyalist forces. it comes days after they based themselves in aden. part of the u.n. resolution houthi rebels to give up power. all 15 security council members called for an mid houthi withdraw. but the resolutions didn't allow for the use of force. something that gulf countries and anti-y coup leaders have

been pushing for. the u.n. resolution passed was a first on yemen since the takeover. let's take a look at that in detail. calls for the utah withdraw. it also demands the release of president hadi, prime minister baha and members of cabinet who are under house arrest. the text warns of further steps if the resolution is ignored. we have more from aden. >> extremely disappointing. that's what several of the different political parties opposed to the coup when we asked them about their view. they said it's very weak and the fact that it does not have the words coup in it is something very disappointing as far as their concern. their main issue is that it does not provide any source. consequence action if the

houthies don't relinquish power. they say its nothing more than verbal condemnation of the power grab. add to this that many of them have expressed a negative sentiment towards the u.n.'s attempt to go to all sides and they say they're losing trust quickly because the only thing that has been consistent throughout the sponsored talks is the fact that the houthies have been getting more and more powerful not only from a territorial perspective but from a power firepower point of view. there have been clashes between local popular forces that have been set up prior to him being forced to.

they have been the safest of the main cities but that could change if the situation here deter yates further. >> much more to come on the news hour. walking through minefields. how people in senegal are paying the price for decades of war. >> and in sport, a big run chase, we'll have all the action later in the hour. >> let's get the latest in the developments in eastern ukraine. both government troops and separatists are saying they won't pull back until a full peace fire is implemented. they're talking about a

cease-fire. is it holding? >> we heard in the last hour that the ukrainian military has rejected an offer by the separatests for a corridor for the soldiers to leave the embattled town of debaltseve. there are disputes between the separatests and ukraine ukrainian government about the minsk agreement. the ukrainian government saying that debaltseve was included in that agreement. the separatists are saying it wasn't. it was only a few hours that the cease-fire was agreed that the separatists saying that they'll fight for full control of the town. the town is of strategic importance because of it being a railway hub. if the separatests would have full control it would give them access, a direct rail route to

russia. the ukrainian government are now saying that debaltseve is ours. that was the statement that was made by their military spokesperson. so certainly some very worrying developments and on a day when the ukrainian government is well the military has said that they will not start the withdraw of their heavy weapons. that withdraw of heavy weapons was supposed to start today and be completed within two weeks. withdraw of maximum distance of 140 kilometers depending on caliber and range of those weapons. as we see it looks as if potentially this attempt at a truce seems to be unraveling, it's all because of this disputed town of debaltseve where we have seen some of the heaviest fighting in weeks and we're certainly fighting, shelling continues today.

>> a number of cases of ebola rising for the seconds week running. it's a different picture in lie bear i can't where there were only three new places. >> this is the high school in the liberian capital of monrovia. for many moose it was closed during the ebola outbreak. but as of monday it is now open. many health precautions have been put in place. some students remain wary. >> the number of new ebola infections in liberia have slowed marketed. u.s. president barack obama told an u.s. audience that he believed that the fight against ebola has moved into a different

phase. >> we're here to not to declare mission accomplished but to mark a transition. thanks to the hard work of our nearly 3,000 troops who deployed to west africa. logistics have been set up. ebola treatments centers have been built and 1500 african health workers have been trained. >> reporter: but the "world health organization" say that cases have risen for the second week coming. in guinea the number grew to 65. and it is spread to sierra leone with 75 new cases. >> unsafe burials are a number of the practices that is still driving the problem. that is probably the most difficult one to address without a doubt.

>> the west africa ebola outbreak has now killed 9,000 people and infected 23,000. while things have improved in some places, the outbreak is far from over. dominic kane, al jazeera. >> suspected al-shabab fight verse ambushed a convoy in somalia. ten people died in the attack including a number of ethiopian troops according to local reports. witnesses say the remaining soldiers later carried out revenge attacks in nearby villages. they >> al-shabab is still posing a threat, it's true. there are still significant pockets of presence in the country. but we need to give credit to

the somalian army itself and africa forces have achieved in the last year. remarkable success. there has been a time of great need. a dreadful civil war that's taking place. failure of the state keeping people alive keeping them fed has been the main efforts and a lot of that money has been spent on humanitarian efforts. still the humanitarian crisis is severe. the u.n. provides life-saving food support of at least 700,000 people every day in somalia. there is more than a million in acute prices. now with the success against al-shabab and the political process being made now is the time when reconstruction and development can start taking place. >> six african heads of state have met in talks of boko haram.

boko haram attacks have been spreading beyond nigerian borders in niger cameroon and chad. a peace process to end an decade-long conflict in senegal has stalled. they have accused the government of planting landmines. neither side wants to remove them. >> too afraid to step on to his own land, charles was farming these fields when he stepped on a landmine and lost his leg. he's still in shock. >> i feel inferior. i'm less of a man. i can't support my family. i'm useless to others, and we're hungry. >> he no longer tends to these fields nor does anybody else because there might be more mines. they are the result of a

conflict. neither side will admit to using landmines, so no one knows how many there are. until 2012, a group called handicap international was working to clear them. but since the peace negotiations stalled, they have lost their funding, and no one is clearing mines any more. >> international donors have turned their back on this problem saying if there is no peace deal no de-mining can take place. >> farmers have died or been injured because of these mines. >> the fighting between the rebels and the military may have stopped. but this means nothing to us. there is no real peace until we can safely access and work on our lands. >> the senegalese government says that much of it is agriculture land. people here grow vegetables,

peanuts and rice. it's a precious fertile land in a country that has so little of it and struggles to feed it's own people. it is crucial to be self self-sufficient. >> that's given people hope. he now sees in this mind field rice paddies waiting to be sown. >> at least five people have been injured after two explosion notice bangladesh capitol of daka. it was called by the opposition bmp. dozen versus been killed in

unrest. we have more from daka. >> meet yasin ali. the man with more than 100 criminal cases against him he is a senior organizers with the bangladesh nationalist party. the bnp. with charges piling up, yasin and many others like him have gone into hiding. >> almost none of our works can engage in public activities any more. this is the way the government is holding ton power. >> it has become hard for yasin and others to coordinate their campaign. he and other activists no longer take regular calls because they're afraid their phones may be tapped. they rely on internet communication services.

yasin ali was a constant presence at this court showing up to answer charges or request extensions of bail. now that he's in hiding he no longer come here, but there are plenty of activists who are being brought here almost every day. at least 10,000 opposition activists have been arrested since the latest round of protests began in january. the government desemis allegations of harassment, insisting instead that the bnp is involved in violent activities. >> they're playing politics when they say we're harassing them. they're confessing and admitting that the leaders are also involved. >> but a lawyer for the opposition says that even his colleagues are targets now. >> you many b nextnp lawyers get

phone calls threatening. >> he moves to another safe house. it's all he can do to stay out of jail and keep fighting for the government. >> more to come on the news hour. >> outrage over the brutal woman of a young woman after protests of activists. >> plus, the world's fastest aging nation to explain south korea's looming crisis. jo will be here with more action later on. >> tonight on techknow. what if there was a miracle >> grace's stem cells are in this box >> that could save the life of your child

>> we're gonna to do whatever we can >> would you give it a try? >> cell therapy is going to be the next big advance in medicine >> tech know, every monday go where science meets humanity. >> this is some of the best driving i've every done, even though i can't see. >> tech know. >> we're here in the vortex. >> tonight, 5:30 eastern. only on al jazeera america. >> now available, the new al jazeea america mobile news app. get our exclusive in depth, reporting when you want it. a global perspective wherever you are. the major headlines in context. mashable says... you'll never miss the latest news >> they will continue looking for survivors... >> the potential for energy production is huge... >> no noise, no clutter, just real reporting. the new al jazeera america mobile app available for your apple and android mobile device. download it now

islamic state in iraq and the levant in libya. it's in response to isil's beheading of 21 egyptian hostages on a beach shown in a grizzly video released online. fighters loyal to yemen after president hadi had taken over administrative buildings in the capitol of aden. three people have been killed as his loyalists fight for security forces. spokesmen have said that the government has rejected proposals to create a safe corridor of troops in debaltseve. an area of heavy fighting despite a cease-fire deal. in denmark, a memorial for the copenhagen shooting is soon to be coming up. nick spicer is in copenhagen. talk us through what the plans are. i should imagine it will be a very emotional event.

>> i would think so, i'm standing right in front of the cafe and cultural center where the first attack took place where 40 bullets were shot through the window where one 55-year-old danish man was killed. what will be happening in the coming hours as you're saying the prime ministers of denmark and sweden will be present. there will be some speeches, some music and a strong feeling of resignation and resolve however, people are resigned to the fact that denmark has come under attack. they've been expecting it since the publication of caricatures of the prophet muhammad a decade ago. but the result is to move on, and to make this a moment of national unity and come together and not allow new divisions to define anyish society. >> and to move on people need to know the how and the why. tell us about the investigations

investigations. >> the state of the investigation now is the police have arrested two men. they've appeared before a judge and they've been charged with assisting and aiding the killer, particularly with having sheltered him in between two attacks, the second having taken place against a synagogue where another man died, and helping him to dispose of the murder weapon. now the prime minister has provided a sketch of the man who is saying that he is a 22-year-old, probably a lone wolf and that there is no reason to think that he has been held by any outside country or any outside force. the danish press has identified him there. there is no police confirmation as this man a 22-year-old by the name of abdul omar al hussein. he's described by the police as having a background in gangs a

violent background and described in the danish press as having stabbed a man and done some jail times and he was released from jail two weeks ago. and it is thought that he quickly went about these attacks possibly according to the danish press as a consequence of some discussion he had in jail. i went to where he was shot this morning, and spoke to one young man who said he knew him. he used to go to the same internet and played video games with him. he said he would never have guessed that this man was responsible for the attack. we'll find more details about who this man was when the police continue their investigation and probably a little bit more when they question those two suspect who is are now in jail for ten days of questioning. >> of course, thanks, nick. more protests are expected in turkey after the murder of a

young woman last week who originally resisted a bus drivers attempt to rape her. the 20-year-old was found stabbed to death and the protests not just opposition to her murder, but a reported rise of violence against women across the country. bernard smith reports from istanbul. >> reporter: she fought back against her attacker, and that cost her life. the police say the 20-year-old woman was the last passenger on the mini bus when the driver tried to rape her before beating her to death with the crowbar. the brutality of the attack shocked many people in this country. the daughters of turkey's president visited her mother to offer their support. >> she sacrificed herself to protect her honor. i want them to be sentenced with the heaviest penalty.

my daughter didn't deserve this. >> reporter: the mini bus driver who the police say have confessed have the scars of her resistence. with the help of her his father and their friends they cut off her hands and burned her and dumped her in a river. the details spread across the country, women protests in more than 30 cities. >> the murder was the last straw. in other cases there have been excuses like she laughed on the phone or something. but in this case there is no excuse. >> the hashtag has been tweeted 3 million times since friday. that's a level of engagement the government cannot ignore. they say the government will do more to protect the rights of women. the country is sliding down the

world economic forum measure of women equality, and now turkey is 125th out of a list of 142 countries. her coffin was carried by women a notable break with custom. but on this day at this funeral emotions raw there was no appetite for keeping traditions. bernard smith istanbul. >> greece's new government and its creditors are in last-ditch talks in brussels. they want to renegotiate the repayment terms of $270 billion loans. european creditors asking to continue with reforms in athens. any word coming out of this meeting of what is being discussed there?

>> hello jane, we are understand has now begun just under an hour ago with the greek finances minister entering 10 minutes late. we're not sure exactly why that happened, but we are being told there was a rather contemptuous meeting between him and the chairman of the group just before the conference began. we do not know what the contents of that discussion was. now the point of this euro group meeting today is to discuss what proposals greece will put forward to its european creditors in order to address first and foremost what they see as a fiscal gap. that means a difference between the amount of tax revenue the the 2015 budget says is going to be collected this year, and what amount of tax revenue creditors believe will actually be collected. they believe there is going to be a shortfall of $4.5 billion.

that amount represents a rise from the paragraphs assumption of last year that there was going to be a shortfall of about $3 billion. that means that greece's fiscal situation in the eyes of creditors is slipping, and that is going to be a major cause of concern in today's meeting. also under discussion, of course, will be the points of agreement versus disagreement on austerity policies and reform between greece and its creditors. the labor and deregulation reforms that creditors have been demanding since 2010. they want to reverse some of the steps previously undertaken. >> so clearly a lot at stake john. why is it being billed as a make or break meeting? >> well, it may not exactly be

greece's last opportunity to speak with its creditors and negotiate the so-called bridge or truce period. that greece has asked for of four months. what greece wants is it's--for creditors to finance this period of four months so that the two sides can sit down and negotiate without their being the constant deadlines of debt paves and bond maturities which present payment dates for the greek government. what they would like is for the memorandum to be effectively suspended for a very brief period. now i don't think that this is necessarily the last chance. there is talk of another possible emergency euro group meeting for the week. but what is at stake is whether greece can establish enough common ground to encourage them to continue talking. otherwise, the danger is that they will lose faith in the

commitment of this government to actually come to an agreement with its creditors, and will start thinking more in terms of a controlled greek exit from the eurozone. >> thank you for that, john. sri lanka's new president is on his first over-seas trip to india. he met india's president narendra modi, where they signed a deal on nuclear cooperation. both leaders spoke about increasing trade and resolving the long-standing issue of repatriateation. we have more from new delhi. >> well, in many respects, it's all about china. on one hand saying that india you're a very important part of our foreign policy and relationships in the region, and we'll work with you as well as china. and india is saying to sri lanka at the moment we would like to play a greater role, and we would like you to come close tort india story as opposed to

moving towards china. we have more in common in culture and religion as well as trades and economic reasons to be closer to each other. the meetings from sri lanka and india have agreed on a number of things. from the nuclear deal and the fishing dispute. however, one thing that seems to have been held way back from the agenda is what to do with tens of thousands of refugee sri lankan refugees that currently live in taminado. both sides have been looking at the future for these refugees. many of whom, who wanting to home but they say that until the uncertainty is resolved, until they know what they're going back to, the situation remains difficult for them. while we haven't heard much from the city center and prime minister modi on this visit there are hopes that more concrete plans will go forward once president modi visit

colombo next month. >> two al jazeera journalists are released from jail, but their conviction is not finished yet. mohamed fahmy, baher mohammed was released but will return back to trial february 23rd. peter greste was released and back in australia. >> it looks like much of ruler south korea. steep valleys, small farms. but this quiet place is on the forefront of an issue stalking this nation: aging. this community of elderly farmers has made close bonds

because they need to. so many of their children have moved away. lifelong friendships have become ever more important. >> all my daughters-in-law are working. if i go to their place we choose to live separately. when i day i guess my sons will come and take me with them. >> they cook lunch every day. the men eat in a separate room. they share comradeship but also a sense that their village is in terminal decline. >> my kids have nice house notice city. why would they want to come here and live in a house in the rural area. living in the countryside is tough. once pipe generation ends my generation ends, it's the end. >> a quarter of the population is above 65. this is the fastest aging place

in south korea. the local government provides soldier care for those living alone but at budget-fraying costs. >> it's a national problem. the age issue is catching up in the cities as well as in the rural areas. >> in a sign of this county's demographic slide the local government has increased it's baby bonus to $900 this year for a third child and education services on top. but it's more than a symbolic gesture than a cure. some say it might help with nappies and formula but the toll of raising children in an expensive, competitive society. >> it's difficult and that's why there is such a low birth rate. >> south korea's birth rate of 1.19 per female is among the world's lowest. the population is expected to start shrinking. this may offer a window on its

future. harry fawcett al jazeera. >> we'll have sport and 4 hours after a ski jump record was set she'll tell us how it was broken again.

>> the tiger in the far eastern and leopard are in parts of russia and are in constant

threat. >> it's early morning in the forests in the far east of russia. the temperatures are freezing minus 13 degrees celsius. you wouldn't think cold like this could sustain a forest where tigers live, but it does. forester brian midiksky show me why. >> this is what they're really what they're after. korean pine cones. full of oil and nutritious nuts that they'll live on all winter. >> in an effort to protect the tiger, the korean pine is protected, too, a conservation ripple affect. the siberian tiger numbers have increased from their extinction levels to 500 today. there are still problems. over the course of 20 years there have been the confiscation

of tiger pelts worth $50,000 each. >> one man was responsible for eight tiger skins. this one was a cub clubbed to death. injuresjust terrible. >> it's been a big problem for police and it's not just tiger skins. these with the paws of bears killed in russian forests all heading to markets in southeast asia particularly china. and then in another province there is the far eastern lebanon pardon hunted to near extinction. there is now just 50 in the wild and that is an improvement. a park has been designated for them. the land of the leopard. they change their range with ten tigers. but that presents its own problems. inspecting the remains of an

adult leopard a week ago. this looks to be caused by a tiger. >> it's a problem because the leopard is such a rare animal. but you can't influence wild nature. >> still the park is a beacon of home with clear view of the metropolis. the funny thing is people living in the city look out at the hills of this park every single day. what's is extraordinary to think that whether what they're looking at is the habitat of two of the rarest pretty for predators in the world living on their door step. you wonder if the an analysis are looking the other way. >> it is time for sport. jo. >> thank you so much. the first surprise at the cricket world cup beating the west indies, and they did it by a big run chase. >> the small city of nelson in new orleans hosted two-time

world championships in the west indies in its non-test playing nation of ireland. darren bravo has run out. star player chris gayle could only manage 36 in the match. he was called out by kevin o'brien. the west indies did recover. darrell sammy got 89, the highest score by a batsman in the world cup. he put on a 154 stand with simmons. simmons with a century as they score 304-7. in reply ed joys' 84 for ireland. the man of the match sterling struck six falling eight runs short of a ton. ireland reaching the target with four over toss spare with win by

four wickets. >> i don't think it's--i don't see why--it's like of they'll do whatever. it's not like that in our sport. >> we've not been playing the brand of cricket that allows us to win matches. >> it's the fifth summers chase of 300 runs in world cup history, and three of them have been by ireland. >> it's the fourth time that ireland beat pakistan. they beat bangladesh in barbados. and then four years later they completed the highest ever run case by scoring 329-7 in india.

now they scored over 300 again to defeat the west indies in new zealand. lebron james has moved past michael jordan in second place on the nba all-star scoring list. playing against the western on sunday scoring his 263 year point. he's just 17 behind kobe britain. his efforts went unrewarded as russell westbrook scored 41 points to lead the conference 163-158 wins. >> you never want to take a chance to go out and show the talents. i'm been blessed and we got the win. >> they know the game of basketball. to be able to represent this league at the highest levels
