>> announcer: this is al jazeera. hello there, this is the newshour life from london. coming up in the next 60 minutes. abdul fatah al-sisi speaks. egypt's president defends the attack on i.s.i.l. in libya an explosion kills two in eastern ukraine as the country marks the year since the fall of viktor yanukovych. yemen's president makes his first public appearance since fleeing the capital sanaa

and the red carpet is waiting for hollywood's biggest stars. we'll be live in los angeles for the latest on the build-up to the academy awards. hello there. thank you for joining us. egyptian president abdul fatah al-sisi defended his division to launch air strikes in libya. the attacks targeted fighters linked to the islamic state of iraq and levant, who killed 21 egyptian coptic christians. in a keynote address broadcast on state tv abdul fatah al-sisi said the operation was planned meticulously to avoid civilian casualties. he thanked gulf neighbours saudi arabia united arab emirates bahrain and kuwait wore their support and accepted that innocent young people may be locked in the egyptian prisons, a matter he urged the

interior ministry to look into. let's hear what else he had to say about the egyptian strikes. >> we launched an offensive against targets. these targets were subjected to strict and accurate surveillance. intelligence information was gathered in security. why i mention all this? simply to repeat that we never take the offensive. and this is the first time to speak about this matter openly. more on abdul fatah al-sisi's address to the nation. a senior lecturer in middle east politics and security studies. thank you for being with us on al jazeera. abdul fatah al-sisi obviously focussing on the egyptian attacks in libya. what do you make of what he had to say? >> it was interesting. in libya, he was saying that

this was a self-defence act, it's an act but there'll be no invasion which i think means that what happened in the u.n. a few days ago is very significant. because the gearing up in the egyptian media was about a further intervention in libya, possibly a direct entrance on the civil war there. what will happen i think, is probably a situation of arming one side of the civil war, which is the army and government and specific strikes at some point or another. i don't think there'll be an intervention. >> certainly often in the western media there's a desire to see arab countries take the lead so we saw jordan attack i.s.i.l. in iraq and syria, now this attack by egypt on libya.

you think abdul fatah al-sisi is not going to take on the role that some leaders would want him to take? >> it's very controversial, the arab air strikes on i.s.i.s. the lead that causes the damage is the western coalition led by the u.s. the most of what is happening in the air strikes is used for domestic purpose, is used for more or less empowering military and it is politics. i think in terms of destroying i.s. in libya or elsewhere, it will not be done. >> so far it's focussing on libya, what impact do the think the actions have had on the country. >> it's diverseive. libya has two governments, parliament and decentralized armies. abdul fatah al-sisi, from around

2015 sided with one part of the civil war, which is the former government, because the other government has elements of libyan national brothers. his attempt was to eradicate them in libya as well. more and more the egyptian armed forces were pushed into the fight, and we saw what happened. 21 coptics kidnapped for 50 days, and despite intelligence on the ground in libya, there was no attempt to get them out. after their massacre the air strikes were conducted. will the air strikes end the i.s. in libya? it's unlikely. to do something like that you need more or less along the lines of a strategy a unity government, a proper military and unity services professional ones and dealing with the crisis. before dealing with the security crisis, it needs to be resolved.

what he's going is polarization of the libyan crisis. >> going back to the specific speech there was mention that there were maybe youths in gaol that shouldn't be and he'd ask the interior ministry to look into it. what do you think was meant by meant. activists were killed. some would come from some of the political parties, who were not much of a threat. they do not have much support on the ground. the activists matter and we'll initiate an investigation into the case. the others this is a selected memory that we have. don't really matter recollects and i will not do an investigation. hundreds were killed in august 2013. they don't matter. but those that mentioned by name was killed by the security services earlier are the lead in the investigation. it takes good strategy to keep

the opposition divided. you say okay he's doing an investigation. the other side he wants to be on the deserve to die side. that will keep the opposition at bay. >> from the university of exeter, thank you for sharing with us. >> thanks let's get reaction to president cyst's speech. hoda abdel-hamid is in the tunisian town over the border from libya. >> abdul fatah al-sisi starts a one-hour long address by tackling the air strikes. he talked clearly it the egyptian people first, saying it was a matter of, "revenge", and a think he meant a matter of pride. he could not face paying condolences to the fall lis of the vic timents, and the coptic christian community without

having taken prior action. then it seems they were addressing the concerns of the international community. the egyptian army does not attack anyone first, that they were not an invader, and that it was there only to defend egypt and its borders. air strikes have been polarizing inside libya. the u.n.-recognised government in tobruk window them. the court appointed one in tripoli has condemned them. it came at a time when there has been progress on the political track. so clearly the white house, the u.n. within the arab league many were concerned about the air strike and the scope of them and how long they would have lasted. it seemed that president abdul fatah al-sisi was trying to convey the message that it was a matter of self-defence and of

protecting egyptian interests and people. fighters claiming loyalty to i.s.i.l. say that they are behind bomb attacks on the iranian residence in tripoli. a bomb exploded outside the iranian embassy, and a second lobbed into the property. it's the latest diplomatic mission to be targeted where most embassies have been shut since last year syrian government air strikes on aleppo and douma killed dozens of people. government forces and rebels have been fighting for control of strategically important villages. in one incident people say soldiers carried out a mass killing. dominic kane reports. >> reporter: a desperate search in the rubble of douma. in the bombed-out houses are children wounded in a government air strike. some have light injuries others

more badly hurt. before the civil war, more than 110,000 people lived in the city. four years of conflict killed thousands and drove many away. scenes like these are commonplace. this is the aftermath of a barrel bomb attack in aleppo. buried in the rubble is an elderly lady. she says she's lived here all her life. attacks by rebels and the government have intensified north of aleppo. last week rebels regained control of one of the veil edges. it han -- villages it had been taken and held by government soldiers for a day. some villages say the soldiers rounded up local people in a school, and killed 48 of them. at six in the morning, we had heavy gun fire in the village,

so we took the children and ran away. the army asked us to go in this direction, so we did. we met other soldiers 137 men and women. they took us to this school. >> the villages are vat eejicily important -- strategically important. if they are sustain, it allows the army to isolate the rebels further hundreds of turkish troops launched a raid in syria, sa move described as flagrant aggression. the mission was to evacuate an otto man. the site was the final resting place of suleyman, living from from 728 the founder of the ottoman empire. 600 soldiers and tanks went through, before raiding the

tomb 35km south of the turkish border evacuated 40 troops and removed suleyman shah's remains. turkey planted a flag on a new site housing the body closer to the border. bernard smith from al jazeera has more. >> reporter: under the cover the night the turkish military crossed the border into syria. moving through territory controlled by i.s.i.l. they were heading more than 30km from a piece of soil the size of a football pitch. the time of suleyman shah was left under turkey's control when the french drew the border for modern syria in 1921. he was the grandfather of the first ottoman empire. now, fighting between i.s.i.l. and the kurds in the area the turkish government decided to

evacuate 40 or so troops stationed at the shrine. >> 39 tanks, 57 armoured vehicles and 572 soldiers entered the area from turkey. our troops reached the suleyman shah outpost. they completed their mission, and a religious ceremony was held for moving the remains. >> the flag was planted at a new location where the remains will be reburied. it's symbolically in syria, but only just. it's up against the border. so within sight of the turkey's military. by dawn the operation was over. the government said it was all done without coordination of the syrian kurds, who controlled the border. nor was the syrian government in damascus involved. the turkish government has no appetite to involve the military in the war in syria. it might have needed to pull troops out from the shrine to

avoid the risk that i.s.i.l. attack them. forcing turkey's hand. it comes as turkey and the u.s. agree to train free syrian army here for the first time turkey agreed to take an overt role in the battle against i.s.i.l. the families of three british schoolgirls who flew to istanbul made appeals for them to come home. it fears the girls will attempt to go into syria. they have been named and they are 15-year-olds and 16-year-olds. they are school friends of a fourth girl. they believed to be in syria. the family gave no hint of a fan and called on them to return to u.k. . >> she didn't take anything with her. you hang on to the bits that you

have. she's a baby. we want you to contact anybody, let them know you need help. we all love you. if anyone convinces you of anything, they are wrong. we love you more than anyone could love you. >> the u.n. special envoy to syria will travel to damascus to broker a peace deal. there are some assurances from the government that there could be a halt in the attacks on aleppo. he knows that he faces a tough task. >> reporter: this will be the fourth time special envoy has visited damascus since july when he took over the job of finding piece in syria.

he's already received a commitment from president bashar al-assad for a 6-week freeze in aleppo, suspension in aerial and artillery attacks in syria's largest city. he doesn't have agreement from opposition groups and in an al jazeera interview, he knew many believed the odds were against the success of the initiative. >> i hope that we see hope at the end of the tunnel. one thing i can tell them at the u.n., that we will never give up. >> reporter: al jazeera learnt details of the misturea plan. the special envoy will gravel for talks. a small u.n. team is supposed to travel to aleppo. the idea is for a halt in all aerial bombardment. at the same time they aimed

completely free of all fighting on the ground. and in one distribute of the city. people in aleppo suffered so much the hope is that humanitarian aid could be distributed. the envoy misturea has been working it the u.n. humanitarian chief. >> he is able to do what he'd like to do which is de-escalate the violence. it's good for us. there are more places that we can get to. he's trying to - once that violence deescalates, trying to get normality to aleppo and restart the likelihood. there has been four years of war. 200,000 killed. here no one is optimistic about the misturea plan. now it's the only plan there is.

still ahead, al-shabab fighters call for attacks on shopping malls in north america and europe. stopping the execution of domestic and foreign prisoners in indonesia and why a broken bat was the least of sri lanka's worries at the cricket world cup. iran sent top negotiators to geneva to overcome hurdles in nuclear talks. they want to end a standoff over iran's nuclear programme once and for all by june 30th. they have to agree on a political framework, and that has to be agreed by march 31st. u.s. secretary of state john

kerry warned that gaps remain and the country is prepared to quit the talks if the issues cannot be resolved. at the heart of the stand off is iranian enrichment. iran has to fuel the capacity but the west says iran must reduce enrichment to prevent it developing nuclear arms. it is insisted that the programme is peaceful. >> the time line for lifting sanctions is a sticking point. if an agreement is reached, iran wants them lifted. the west wants it removed to ensure that they stick to the commitments. >> they are determined to reach an agreement. >> translation: it's not possible for a country to develop in isolation, no one can isolate us. without insight, it is likely to isolate ourselves. if we are united and move ahead no power in the world can isolate us. we have our position in the

world. >> let's go to ukraine. two people have been killed and another 10 wounded in the eastern city of kirkuk. a blast went off next to a mosque, one of many event marking a year since the ousting of former president viktor yanukovych. we have this report from kiev. >> reporter: in the eastern city of kharkiv, people gathered for a peace march. then a bomb blast. more lives lost. the authorities are treating it as an act of terrorism, they say, instruct by russia. some fear the war this the east may spread further. >> in kiev another march remembering the street protests and their victims. president petro porashenko was joined at the head of the march by some european leaders and other lower level guests.

it wasn't the turn out he may have hoped for after promising the crowds that presidents and prime ministers will attend that the doors are open to ukraine, and that there will be victory in the east. president petro porashenko is under immense pressure. domestically, the state of the economy and huge losses in the east demand a response. internationally he is expected to hold the line in a shaky ceasefire despite repeated transgressions by the other side. many believe the president is doing all he can. >> i think he does his best. and, of course there are different ideas of what he could do better but i wish him good luck, because it's very difficult situation. if someone nose what to do let them go and do it themselves. >> something more could occur. he's done his best in the circumstances, in which our

country is under different circumstances, you can do this you can do that and the history is no if. >> the u.s. ambassador agreed. there is no real idea what will happen if the ceasefire fails. >> there's no reason russia should feel threatened by a ukraine moving towards europe developing higher standards of democracies, transparency and government. >> yet there is talk of arming ukraine against russia. it's the russian government engaged in this campaign of aggression. >> the president showed the guests captured armour and artillery that is material evidence of russian evidence of aggression on ukraine soil. they cannot show the international community or his people is a way out of ukraine's problems. meanwhile, both the army and separatists in eastern ukraine have begun to withdraw heavy weapons from the front line in

accordance with the minsk ceasefire appearance. these residents departed the town. both sides have to pull back large guns and rockets, 70km from the conflict line. >> a girl thought to be as young as seven killed five and injured 19 during a suicide bombing in north-east nigeria, that's according to witnesses of the attack. it's the latest violence in a region where the armed group of timea bacsinszky has been highly active. at least 48 people have died after a passenger ferry capsized in bangladesh. the ship reportedly hit a cargo vessel 40km north-west of the capital dhaka. rescuers say that 50 people are searching for survivors, up to 150 people were on the bok when it sank.

>> an indonesian human rights group joined calls for the government to stop the execution of 10 domestic and foreign workers. indonesia has a total of 130 people, 84 are citizens the other 49 are from 20 different countries. murder and drug trafficking are the main crimes. we met the family of a brazilian man. >> reporter: it's called the indonesian alcatraz cloked in central java where the government executes prisoners. last month six were executed by firing squad. another 10 due to be shot. another, arrested in 2004 with 19 kilograms of heroin hidden in

his surfboard, and sentenced to death. although mentally ill the family says his documented condition is never part of the defense, because he lacked the presentation in court. >> i am here because i know that in indonesia. the law doesn't agree with someone that is mentally sick. i don't understand. if they don't know he's sick okay. but he is sick. i approve officially. >> human rights groups say the legal system has too many loopholes to enforce punishment like the death penalty, urging an investigation of the case. >> translation: most of the prisoners sentenced to death are

foreigners, they don't have lawyers or efforts to translate since they don't speak indonesian. it is impossible for them to understand the legal system. >> reporter: the prosecutor general said he's willing to look into the leftist case. >> translation: we have only received notification about his illness, and a request to postpone the execution. we have not replied, it's proven that he is mentally ill or if he's making it up to avoid execution. >> reporter: pressure has gown to cancel the -- grown to cancel the executions. indonesia insists repercussions by australia or other countries will not stop them. two australian men to be executed has been given more time to spend with the family. it has been postponed. the australian government is trying to save their lives.

tactics used upset the government. >> we will not speculate what they'll do. what i know is there. threats are not part of the romantic language. from what i know no one responds well to threats. >> the family still has hope. they trust that their last-minute appeal will convince the government have him sent to hospital, instead of being executed and still to come on al jazeera - fighting ebola. the medical kit which could identify the disease much sooner than before. also... >> i'm phil lavelle at the oscars in hollywood. we have not got throng wait until we see who has won what. the question asked - who do the awards really represent? and coming up in sport liverpool reignite the

champion's league hopes.

now a reminder of the top stories on al jazeera. egyptian president abdul fatah al-sisi has defended his decision to launch air strikes in libya. in a keynote address broadcast on state tv abdul fatah al-sisi said the operation was planned to avoid civilian casualties. hundreds of turkish troops launched a raid in neighbouring syria, a move that damascus described as flagrant aggression. the mission was to ehaving ute an ottoman tomb sitting on a strip of land controlled by turkey amateur video captures a moment that a bomb explodes at kir kiev at the -- kharkiv, at a rally. two were killed others injured. members of al-shabab called for attacks on shopping mauls in

united states, canada and britain. they attacked the westgate hall in kenya in 2013, killing many. targets include the fifth largest, the mall of america, minnesota, and europe's largest mall in london. in response to al-shabab, u.s. home secretary chief urged shoppers to be careful, saying members have to be taken to step up security. >> we have to be vigilant. we ramp up security. it was a call for an attack on elections in canada and europe. in response to that i ramped up the presence of the federal protective service at federal buildings a couple of months ago. i am sure that security at this mall will be enhanced in ways visable and not visible.

>> speaking to tom ackerman for more on this in washington. we are hearing about security but how worried is u.s. government, and the american people? >> well, both the fbi and the royal canadian mounted police issued statements saying they have not identified specific for credible threats to any of the facilities mentioned in this 77 minute video at the end of which the spokesperson said basically that it would be awesome if somebody tried to attack one of them. but the people who have been at the mall today said that they saw no discernible presence of any kind of heightened security. in fact one said that she walked around for 45 minutes before seeing anybody in uniform in the mall itself. it doesn't seem to have deterred shoppers. that said men's is particularly

in the foreground of the focus on radicalized muslims in the united states. the federal has indicted 20 somali americans, convicted nine of them most recently in november, two young men 18 and 20, were indicted. one was stopped at the minnesota airport on his way, trying to board a flight to turkey. the other had gone to syria and has told people that he is fighting for i.s.i.s. the community is conscious not only of the fact that there are some young people who are susceptible to videos and that is why this particular tape this particular video has aroused attention. there is no evidence of any kind of imminent or planned specific threat to the mall in minnesota

tom ackerman with the latest from washington d.c. thank you yemen's president has appeared on television in aden for the first time in weeks. he fled from sanaa, where he had been under house arrest since being forced from power by houthi rebels. supporters want him to clarify the position on the houthi takeover, and his legitimacy as president. the governor said president owes it to the people to stay in office. >> translation: president abd-rabbu mansour hadi insists that he will continue to carry out political duties because he has an obligation towards citizens and voters to implement the transitional phase and the outcome of the national dialogue. this is the important issue that he is concerned with because he reiterated that the time has come to deal with the central government that struggles

because of the differences because of various parties, and it is about one thing. sanaa, and the neglect of other cities in the other districts. he'll call for the government to convene in aden with any ministers that can attend until the house arrest imposed on the prime minister will be lifted more than 9,300 died since the outbreak of ebola in west africa last year infection rates are declining. how far, as niklas hack reports from senegal, a group of scientists designed a kit that could help to save more lives. >> reporter: in the fight against ebola, time plays a crucial role. the longer it takes to detect the virus, the more likely it will spread and kill currently it takes between 12-24 hours to find out if someone is infected with the virus.

there is no vaccine or treatment against ebola. detecting the virus and isolating the patient as early as possible is key to controlling the epidemic. >> translation: long before this outbreak an egyptian doctor in germany joined forces to develop quick diagnostic kits to tackle the matter. they developed a kit that worked in 15 minutes - essentially a lab in a suitcase that can be deployed anywhere, and doesn't need electricity. >> translation: with the mobile kit we can test in the community, minimising exposure to the violence and medical facilities. that is where the virus prop gaits. >> reporter: the kit was made to tackle another epidemic one in the middle east. the m.e.r.s. virus killed 350 people and continues to spread. it was developed to test

infections during the hajj pilgrimage and is used in guinea to tackle ebola, where 2,000 have been killed. testing for ebola is dangerous, involving manipulating blood and saliva. senegal has a biofacility, and many samples are analysed here. there are only a handful of labs like this. this is closest to the outbreak. researchers study the virus, to find better ways to diagnose and fight ebola on friday the world health organisation approved the use of another 15 minute diagnostic kit. scientists want the kit approved, believing theirs is accurate because it detect outbreaks. there's a lot of focus on finding a vaccine, and less on

ways to detect the virus. this man and his team believe early detection will save lives columbia's government signed a landmark agreement with an international group dedicated to the conservation of wildcats. alessandra travelled to see what dangers they face and what is done to protect them. >> the national park is deep in the amazon. for time immemorial jungles and rock formations have been the home of the jaguar. few travel and fewer get the chance to glimpse the cat in the wild. the preps is revealed in rock paintings by extinct tribes who worship the jackure as a demi god. >> there's no place where you can see a landscape like this. there's no place else you are can stand on earth and see this

much jaguar habitat. >> reporter: we travelled with the columbian army and a conservation group. its leader has been studying the cats' migration routes for 30 years. he wants local government and communities to protect what he calls jaguar corridors, complex but fragile paths that jaguars take as they move across the continent. if they can roam freely the future may be assured, and columbia and key. >> we have been able to figure out where the corridor is and where it is not and what we have to say now, in order to protect that fragile link linking the northern part of columbia to the central southern part of columbia. >> this will continue to be a sanctuary for jaguars.

in other parts of the country infrastructure is getting in the way, threatening the cats existence. >> the investigators have installed cameras along the corridor to learn that the cats habits and decide if intervention is needed. on this day the camera caught birds, buffalos and farmers passing by. at night, two jaguars. >> we have pilot projects in areas where jaguars might attack cattle and help them to implement fences and do environmental education, people fear jagures, but it's more a psychological fear than a reality unlike other great cats on the verge of extinction jaguars have a chance to grow. but only if land pathways and protected areas are preserved

well in los angeles, the biggest night in the awards calendar will be under way. it's the oscars. coveted best picture prize looks to be between the dark comedy "birdmarn," and coming of age drama "boyhood." now to phil lavelle. let's start with best actor and best actress, who is up for it? >> well we don't know what is going to happen. only a few people know. those that have access to the envelopes. we can speculate, and that is pretty united this year. it says this - best actor likely to be between two eddie redmayne, who is already doing well taking best actor at the baftas and other awards for his performance as professor stephen hawking in "the theory of everything." getting a lot of attention. and michael keaton for "birdman", a movie doing well. between those two for the best

actor. best actress, there are several. reece witherspoon in particular deserves a special mention for "wild front" it's like the other actors are making up the numbers. julianne moore has the most attention for "still alice" playing a patient suffering from alzhiemer's. she took the baftas best actress yesterday, everything that she comes across. if she doesn't take the award here there'll be a few questions asked. >> it will be interesting to see if she does. what about best film we mentioned "boyhood" and "birdman." films that did well but not the blockbuster. who is out for the best film. >> the academy puts 10 forward. this year was ate. "whiplash" is doing well.

"selma" has attention, there was a row over whether there was a racial element and it didn't get enough attention. there are three films getting the most attention. first of all "american sniper", doing well at the box office. bradley cooper plays america's deadliest ever sniper and this is getting attention in the news because there's a court case going on. the man who shot the protagonist is on trial apparently suffering from p.t.s.d. post-traumatic stress disorder. at the time of the killing. that is an issue here. it is an offsider. loud here on the red carpet. "boyhood," and "birdman", expected to be the winners or the favoured. "boyhood" shot over the course of 12 years. they filmed for a few weeks every year. you see a young boy grow up in almost real time.

we are told that during the course of making it people died got married, had babies it took that long to make. it's an interesting way to make a movie. "birdman", however is sweeping awards. took best film at the spirit awards and could be between those two. if you fancy making your own prediction, a survey came out where they looked at the winners in the history of the 87 years of the oscars and found the most likely film to win is 140 minutes in length and a 45-year-old male in the lead role. if you analyse statistics of "birdman", and "boyhood," you may be able to work it out. >> what a boring way of approaching wonderful films. you have reported on this for years. is there anything special or different about this year's awards is this. >> about the spirit awards. they took place yesterday.

they are celebrating cheaper cinema, if you like. julianne moore talked about "still alice" and said during the awards - during the filming of the movie, "still alice" it was done on a small budget i had to take my own bras food and stuff. $4 million in the case of a movie is not much. there has been a lot of attention on the movies. as they say, "boyhood" and "birdman" expected to be one of two winners. >> we'll check in with you to find out who has won. phil lavelle in hollywood. thank you still to come here on al jazeera... >> i'm in an indian village with free public wi-fi and other amenities. coming up, how this village set itself apart and as australia co-hosts the cricket world cup, how the sport is helping a group of asylum seekers in the country.

now to a small indian village that has undergone a massive transformation over the last eight years. like many villages it now has fully paved roads, water purifying plants and wi-fi. it's largely down to a local engineer who says the viel im is setting -- village is setting an example for the rest of the country. our correspondent wept there to have a -- went there to have a look. >> reporter: at first glance it

looks like any other village in india, that changes if you look and listen closely. this man is an engineer responsible for the high tech amenities in this village, including 24 security cameras, and free public wi-fi. growing up he remembers wading through mud to get to school. today is different. >> 100%. >> translation: we have paved roads, sewage and water supply high-tech amenities, and apps to parents can watch kids' activities in school. >> reporter: the changes here are focussed on helping people. the free public wi-fi has been popular with villages that serve the web and can get work done with a few taps of the screen. >> it has made a real distance. i don't have to travel to fill out government forms, i can do

that because of the wi-fi here. >> reporter: the process started with building roads, and a water purification plant, selling 20 litres of water for $0.06. and a public address system informing people of local news and public announcement. aside from high-tech investment such as wi-fi and tv cameras, the library helps people to educate them. it's the utilisition of funding and foresight to use it separating this village from others in the country. that contrast is clear in the nearby village, where the roads are crumbling, and there's little sanitation, let alone things such as wi-fi. this official says others in the area are learning from example. they credit the villages forward thinking to its leaders. >> the villages nearby are headed by older men who are not as aware or motivated to learn

about government programs. the guys are young, active willing to take advice. no wonder they progressed. the next step is to continue its development with plans to improve the look of the village and build public parks. demanding the journey of one village, as it blends the traditional with the modern now it's time for the sports news much here is robin. >> thank you very much. we'll start with football. real madrid have gone 4 clear at the top of la liga. beating their opponent. putting them ahead in the second half. cristiano ronaldo scored the second goal for real and finished 2-0 the final score. >> to the english premier league liverpool is back in the race for qualification, beating south hamp tonne, for the fourth and final champion's league cup. they scored 3 minutes in and

rahim scored the win. >> the response has been magnificent. we have been playing 2-3 times a week for the last four months. today was huge. to come and win any time is a good victory if you can get a win. it come in the back of a tough european game and not concede and score two goals shows the level of the players. >> and the greek super league the derby between leaders ol impy arkize was ill-tempered. you see the players running for cover. this fixture is known as the battle of eternal enemies considered a dangerous starter. there were no injuries. they won 2-1, closing the gap on olimpy arkize by two points. nine games in the season. england take on scotland at the cricket world cup, both sides

winless, for the defending champions, two wins from two. they won the battle of the big guns. india won the cost. they were led to 308-7. they scored 157. south africa never allowed to settle. they combined for a 68-run partnership before he was a run-out. all out for 177 runs. india winners by 130. sri lanka narrowly escaped an upset. afghans posting 252 in the innings, defending that score. the captain mahela jaya warden broke a bat. sri lanka, afghanistan in site of a victory. sri lanka reached a target with
