>> welcome to the al jazeera news hour from doha. a truck bomb kills at least 50 people at a busy vegetable market in baghdad. isil claims responsibility. >> two massive explosions in china's port city. fifty are killed and hundreds injured. >> tension in myanmar, soldiers lockdown the headquarters of the ruling party after two senior

politicians are removed from office. >> the head of the u.n.'s mission in the central african republic is fired after his troops are accused of rape and murder. >> i'm bernard smith on top of istanbul's grand bazaar where after decades of neglect, with one earth tremor, this could come crashing down. >> let's start in iraq where isil has claimed responsibility for a bomb attack in a crowded market. at least 55 people were killed in a mainly shia muslim district of baghdad. around 200 are injured. we have a report from the capital. >> in the blink of an eye, the scene turned from mundane to

murderous as a truck blew up in a crowded market. the shia muslim neighborhood is one of the most densely populated in the capital. at some searched for survivors, others found the dead. amid displays of the cruelty that had been committed. because the early morning attack was apparently planned to maximize civilian casualties, many knew it would be the work of isil. it is the third attack by the group in as many days, underscoring the tenuous security situation. on tuesday, isil attacked two other areas wheren that shia muslims live. dozens were killed and dozens more injured. attempts to deepen sectarian lines at a time when increasing numbers of iraqis demand their government work together. fed up at the lack of basic services such as electricity and

clean water, tens of thousands have been demonstrating against corruption. a call that's alarmed iraqi leaders who quickly passed sweeping reform proposals. >> while protestors planned for friday in several iraqi cities, it's unclear how this will affect the turnout. this is another brutal reminder of the security crisis in this country. >> the blast is one of the biggest to strike baghdad since prime minister al abadi took office in 2014. attacks in isil have escalated in recent months as government forces who have to drive the group out of its stronghold in anbar province. at least 58 people were killed and more than 100 injured in two blasts. a market attack in july killed around 86 people. many of those killed are women and children gathered to mark the end of ramadan. according to the u.n., around 15,000 civilians have been

killed in iraq since the start of 2014. joining us now from baghdad is chairman of the parliament free bloc. thank you for talking to us here. with this attack today in a predominantly shia section of the capital, it's clear that the government doesn't have a handle on security. >> thank you very much. i expressed my deep con dole lengthses to the families and beloved of those who were lost today in the attack. it's clear that the government unfortunately, the security forces are incapable of protecting the lives of the civilians, especially in the area where the attacks were taken. it is clear that the calls for the adoption of the technology, the more professional security forces, the introduction of a

new techniques in fighting the terrorists and putting an end for the suicidal attacks and suicidal bombings, unfortunately, the government, it seems really incapable of taking any measures right now. this is to add to the problems and challenges, the big challenges by the government and mr. al abadi is facing. >> one of those challenges is dealing with isil, particularly to the west in anbar province. there have been calls for him to redirect some of the manpower from anbar to man checkpoints within baghdad itself. would you agree with that? >> i don't think that the lack of manpower is the reason. actually, the reason is the adoption of the sonar systems or the new technology that should be introduced in order to check the cars that driver into the southern cities or other cities

inhabited by shia, because isil has took on its own vow to keep as many shia as possible, so the areas that are tares for isil are very clear. the government needs to protect these areas, not necessarily by blasts but by the introduction of a new technology, also incorporating information and intelligence forces, the cooperation of the civilians who live in these areas also should be used by the security forces and by the government. it is not the direction or redirection of manpower, it is all related to the techniques and procedures adopted by the security forces and the police. these insurance today, a statement was issued by the security and defense committee in the parliament asking the government to adopt the new procedures in order to protect

these civilians lives. this is said earlier, but unfortunately, the government seems to have certain priorities, the fighting of isil in anbar and other provinces seems to be the first priority, however -- >> can i finally ask you, the aim of these attacks seems to be to try to stoke tensions, sectarian tensions. are these kinds of attacks succeeding? how would you assess sectarian relations within baghdad and baghdad in particular? >> they do create certain sectarian tension, but i think the tension will not be as isil wants, because most of the iraqis know that those behind these attacks are not iraq

sunnis. the terrorists have very extreme discourse, clearly not sectarian, all the motivation behind the attacks is sectarian, because isil believe that shia and moderately sunnis should be killed, they are not muslims. this is not going to raise any tension. this is going to draw maybe distract the attention given to the areas where daish is occupying, distract the attention of the government from focusing on basic services, from solving the political problems, maybe this is going to be the main negative or the main problem that this attack or such attacks will create, but i'm very confident that they are not going to raise any sectarian sentiment or going to raise any tension between the sunni ires and shia ires.

>> talking to us live from ball dad, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> al jazeera has learned that two people have been kidnapped by kurdish separatist fighters in turkey. it happened on a road linking two areas. it was thought one was a turkish soldier. >> explosions at one of the world's busiest ports in china killed at least 50 people. these are aerial shots that show the scale of the blast in the city. more than 700 others were injured. 36 fireman are reported missing. the blast was so powerful, they remsterred on the earthquake scale. adrien braun has more from the site of the explosions. >> the heart of one of china's most important economic hubs torn apart by multiple blasts.

with local people concerned not for the first time about the air they are now breathing. >> we are very worried about the chemicals in the air. we worry it may be toxic into the future. >> the scale of the explosion is difficult for many to understand what happened and why. >> i thought it was a gas explosion. my bedroom wall was hit by a shock wave which threw me out of bed. >> others thought it was an earthquake or nuclear explosion. windows were shattered almost two kilometers away, forcing the evacuation of hundreds of families. the flying debris sliced through hundreds of vehicles. temporary housing for migrant workers bore the brunt of the

blasts. >> well, this is a workers dormitory, completely shredded. the damage here bears testament to the force of those multiple explosions. people in here were lucky to get out alive. june the number of dead continue to rise. many were firefighters. government officials say hundreds were treated in hospital, mostly for cuts caused by flying glass and concrete. >> my first reaction was to run. i then heard another blast. i escaped and was running wild. i got blood all over my body. >> the authorities say the blasts were caused by chemicals stored in a warehouse close to where thousands of people lived. an investigation into how often that was possible has now begun. >> two of myanmar politicians have been removed from office.

sell injuries prevented the m.p.'s from leaving. the party chairman and general have been removed from positions. there have been tensions among the military leaders over the selection of candidates ahead of the upcoming election. >> it looks as though the reason this is happening is because friday is the deadline for submission of candidates for elections in november. what happened was that the military had offered a number of candidates that the leadership, the former leader, that is, who also happens to be speaker of parliament, reject it. the list was not to the military's liking, so it appears that the tension building up over the last few months came to a head, and that's why trucks surrounded the headquarters at around 10:00 wednesday night local time.

as you say, the speaker of parliament an chairman as well as the secretary general have been held. it should also be noted that the president of myanmar closely aligned with the military has also reshuffled the cabinet and that the minister and deputy ministers are both the border affairs ministry and defense ministry have been let go, at least 10 others have been allowed to resign. what you're seeing is a dramatic shift towards military leverage within what is normally civilian government. don't forget 25% of the parliament is allocated to the military, that there are many positions that are appointed by the military and unaccountable

tole civilians government. they should be seen in the context of the general elections insofar as the u.s. itself has said it will be a litmus test to see whether the remnants of the military dictatorship that has run myanmar for decades is really willing to less go of power. >> that was our correspondent in bangkok. a southeast asia specialist and author on self books on myanmar joins us from bangkok. what's your reading of today's developments? is this really the military trying to wrest control of the party in the run up to these elections? >> well, there's no doubt that it's a palace coup, and it's certainly the president saying and the army chief who have orchestrated this removal from the chairmanship.

it's certainly partly because the army senior members who have retired to some 200 wanted as they would have done in the past to enter and run in the elections in november. most of them were prevented from joining, although 50 were allowed. there is little doubt that that is one of the motivations. another motivation is the fact that the army and to some extent he and his ministers feel he has been a traitor, hasn't actually been playing bomb with the executive and that he's been trying to manipulate the parliament to change the constitution, when in fact, the army and the president are not ready for it, so it is in some ways an attempt to shore up the president's support within the party, as well as increase the army support within the party. >> how does this bode for

november elections? what is the position? >> i think there are many steps before the actual elections on november 8. at the moment, they have been removed from their positions, but he is the speaker of the lower house and president of the parliament and the parliament is due to open session again on monday, so it will be interesting to see if he's still there. i suspect what's going to happen, because the regime always believes that it follows law and order, that it will wait until monday to move a motion of no confidence and relieve him of the speaker's position. there are attempts, also, to relieve him of his m.p. status. the army has moved what's called a recall motion to take away his

authority away an m.p. for the constituency, which is mainly a military one. as far as the elections are concerned, tomorrow is the day when all the parties have to submit their candidates list and that has been the bone of contention. it will be interesting to see who's actually on that list tomorrow. i have to say that my fear is that in the end, the november 8 election may well be postponed. constitutionally it can be, because under the constitution, the parliament, the next parliament and the next president are to be formed by the end of january, because that's five years since the president and the current parliament sat, so constitutionally, it could be delayed for a couple of months. i expect we will see that. at the moment, it doesn't tell us much about who is going to be president and i think the first

test is what is done on monday, are they going to support. if they do, that is likely to cause greater consternation against the armies who are in parliament. >> we'll be watching closely. thanks. >> we've got a lot more to come on this al jazeera news hour. find out how hillary clinton's handling of sensitive emails could hurt her chances in the race for the white house. >> five good mallen soldiers arrested after a video shows them beating to teenagers. >> in sport, the world's two best golfers go head-to-head at the final major of the year. we'll hear from both rory mcilroy and jordan speith later this hour. >> the u.n. secretary general has forced the head of the u.n.

mission in the central african republic to resign following allegations that peacekeepers have engaged in the kill and sexual abuse of civilians, including the rape of a 12-year-old girl. we have this report from u.n. headquarters in new york. >> anguish road, ashamed be a angered, united nation secretary general that ban ki-moon's responsibility after u.n. peacekeepers raped a 12-year-old girl and were behind killings. >> i believe the disturbing number of allegations we have seen in many countries, but particularly in the central african republic in the period before u.n. peace keepers were deployed and since speaks of a need to take action now. enough is enough. >> allegations of wrongdoing in the central african republic started last year when french troops were accused of sexual

misconduct before the peacekeeping operation began and it still prompted ban ki-moon to create a panel to look into it. the official peacekeeping mission was set up and has been in operation for about a year and a half, made up of 10,000 troops and police from more than 45 countries. >> the spokesperson for ban ki-moon announced that there have been 57 allegations of misconduct by y peacekeeping troops in the central african republic, including 11 occasions of possible sexual abuse. that's a far higher number than previously made. >> u.n. peacekeeping operations started three years after the u.n. was founded in 1945. to date, there have been 63 missions around the globe. peacekeeping mission missions ao whole won the nobel peace prize, but there have been fail u.s. in congo, there were allegations of sexual exploitation and rape.

in the 1990s, reports came to light of peacekeepers in bosnia and kosovo, sex trafficking and prostitution. the peacekeeping problems have gone beyond sexual transgressions. they lease peacekeeping troops in haiti were accused of causing one of the largest coolar epidemics that killed 7,500 people and infected more than a half million. >> in rwanda, ban ki-moon said he was ashamed they could not stop the genocide where 800,000 were killed. >> dutch peacekeepers forced muslim families out of their compound, the males were rounded up by the serbs and massacred. with this latest scandal, the world's top diplomatic stepping in to try to show accountability and change. >> let's talk to the project

director for central africa be with the international crise group. he's in the capitol of the central african republic. thank you for talking to us. does this help the people of central africa republic deal with the fact that the peacekeeping mission head has now been kicked out? >> i think right now, there's quite a lot of surprise by the recent announcement. a lot of people were not expecting this, but there is growing frustration against the u.n. >> because of that theory of wrongdoing, because of more

political issues. i think you have a very difficult political relations with the central african republic. >> we're going to have to leave it there, because the quality of the line isn't terribly good, but thank you very much indeed. >> the president of the west african nation dismissed his government making the announcement on the radio. he has been president since elections in june last year but there have been months of in-fighting between him and the prime minister over the division of power. donors have previously threatened to withhold a billion dollars in aid if the leaders fail to maintain stability.

there have been nine coups or attempted coups in past years. the president and prime minister have both had a very difficult relationship. >> i think that the main problem is between the ruling party where there are really many classes or chance inside fighting one another. the other part also is i think that is our constitution, which needs to be reviewed, because we have a parliament which gives cause to the prime minister while in this frame, the head wanted to have a view of the management of the country. the country is a matter of burning concern, just coming from the round table where the

donor has asked to give $1 billion. in this condition, for sure, they will postpone for a lot of time. it will be a very, very difficult or very tough time to just the guineaen people and for the economy of the country, also. >> time for to us take a look at the weather now. rob is here and the european heatwave, i can see all those reds and yellows behind you. >> it's not at complete as it was. it's been eaten into by atlantic weather, at long last some may say. just rolling around behind me in the bay of biscay it is a low pressure, taking clouds and it's still active. it has changed things, which i think is a good thing. taking a bite out of the reds that were 30 plus in spain, back now to high 20's, warm enough,

but not as warm as it has been. that pattern fits quite fliesly. up until this point, there's been no rain, so rivers all over europe, this is the dresden, so low that these major navigation channels, navigation cannot take place. the danny is the same. that lil move eastward over the next 24 hours or so, but the heat remains for a good part of europe. >> the grand bazaar in the turkey of istanbul is nearly six

centuries old, hundreds of thousands of visitors walk through it every day, but its roof is in urgent need of rare and could crash down at any minute without restoration. we have a special series on preserving global heritage. >> emergency welded supports are all that is stopping this ancient roof from crashing down. decades of neglect and water damage have left prick work crumbling. >> right now, safety is at stake. istanbul is in an earthquake zone. with the this in this condition, we don't need to wait for a quake. it could collapse at any time. the building is barely standing now and the reinforcing measures taken obviously aren't enough.

>> a few days after our interview, a torrential rainstorm exposed just how vulnerable the roof is. >> the roof of the grand bazaar was once covered with lead, but third years ago in a botched restoration, the lead was stripped and replaced with tiles and cement. this man represents the traders. he admits it's a wonder that it hasn't gone up in flames. >> we had our own small firefighting team, but these days, fire can spread rapidly, ignite quickly even at night in these types of structures. we don't have pipes to circulate air. we need new chimneys and smoke detectors. >> the renovation work should begin by the end of this year. two years behind schedule. it's been slowed by bureaucracy

and the fact that the almost 4,000 businesses here have a say in the project. when the renovation work starts, it's going to take five years, because they're only going to work at night so that they don't have to close during the day. until that work is finished, traders here can only hope there will be no earthquakes or tremors. >> for 560 years, deals have been made and bargains struck in the grabbed bazaar, but if the repairs are delayed much longer, it will be the traders and the city's rich cultural heritage that pay a heavy price. bernard smith, al jazeera, istanbul. >> in part two of our global heritage series on friday, we're in the west bank city of ramallah. palestinian archeologists discovered the burial place of st. steven, believed to be the first christian martyr. >> still to come on the program, the u.s. comes under pressure to free a guantanamo prisoner

55 people were killed in sadr city, a mainly shia district of the iraqi capitol. 200 others were injured. >> in china, at least 50 have been killed in two huge explosions in one of the world's busiest ports, hundreds more were injured and 36 reported missing. the blast was so big that it was felt for miles around. >> in myanmar, two of the countries most senior politicians have been removed from office. soldiers surrounded the ruling party's hears and are preventing m.p.'s from leaving. >> a court in cairo sentenced four policeman over the death of 37 protestors in august, 2013. they'll serve a total of eight years between them. they gassed to death an overcrowded police van. that's what they were found guilty of.

the people who were killed were supporters of the deposed president mohamed morsi. we have this report. >> august, 2013, and death has become a regular occurrence in the chaotic streets of cairo. it's a month since the first democratically elected president mohamed morsi has been toppled by the military. families struggled to identify bodies of protestors killed in fight, security forces. some look for the names of family members among the 37 prisoners gassed to death inside a van carrying them to jail. most of those killed in the van are later identified as morsi supporters, rounded up when a pro morsi camp was cleared, but some are just passers by, arrested by mistake, jammed into the overcrowded space. caused gathered at a nearby morgue. police say the prisoners rioted, the tear gas was fired into the

van to rescue a policeman. the van is sealed. the prisoners suffer and died. >> my brother was transferred to the prison. the prison was attacked and we don't know what happened to him. we were planning to visit him but were told many were killed. we came here to the morgue to check for him. >> in march, 2014, the captain is sentenced to 10 years in jail for the manslaughter of the prisoners. the other officers get suspended sentences. it's the first time since the out of thing of president morsi that security force members have faced trial over the deaths of demonstrators. outside the court, violence breaks out. three months later, in june, the captain's sentence is squashed on appeal. this latest verdict is from egypt's highest court. it is final and cannot be

appealed. al jazeera. >> the leader of al-qaedaal does a harry fledged allegiance to the new head of the afghan taliban. >> this is the first message drop zawahiri. >> pro forces in yemen are gaining more ground from houthis and 25 kilometers away from sanna. troops loyal to adou rabbo mansour hadi have taken six districts in the city of ibb. most of the south is now held by pro-government forces. they are being backed by saudi-led airstrikes. president hadi is on an official visit to the united arab emirates. the u.a.e. has been a key backer

of the saudi-led coalition which is attempting to roll back the houthi advance. >> civilians in yemen have been caught in the crossfire in what the u.n. calls an overwhelming humanitarian crisis. yemen is the poorest country in the arabian peninsula with its people democrat on foreign aid. the u.n. estimates 13 million yemenese do not have access to reliable food sources. 2,000 civilians have died since the war began. relieve coordinator for the united nations said the need for human aid in yemen has never been greater. >> i was able to see for myself the terrible human cost that comes from this instability which has been ravaging yemen now for far too long. the scale of what is needed now needs to be upgraded to such a degree that we need all hands on hand to be able to get the

international n.g.o.'s, u.n. agencies with full access to aden but also to sanna and other areas in yemen which i have been able to see over the last davis. it's been absolutely clear to me whether talk to jamel, a 6-year-old who happens to be blind standing in line with his mother waiting for food, they've been doing that from 6:00 a.m. every day for the last six weeks waiting for food. these are real human stories and all of us have a joint reason to be concerned about the humanitarian effects of conflicts. 80% of the yemeni people taken across the country, now is the time to scale up and now is the time for me, now that i've seen it for myself to really ramp up the interest at the security council in new york, and where donors give, we need more i'm

afraid to meet these escalating and extremely emergency needs in yemen. >> police in bahrain arrested five in connection with a bomb talk in july that killed two policeman. the interior ministry accuse them of being linked to iran's revolutionary guard. it place in the predominantly shia village of citra. >> turkeys main opposition party said talks to form a coalition with the ruling ak party have failed. meetings were held tailed that last add couple of hours. let's find more now by talking to our correspondent in istanbul, bernard smith. bernard, does it seem then as if turkey's even further away from forming a government? >> >> it looks like it, martin. there's a press conference going on now given by the prime minister. today was the last in a series of meetings that have gone on

since the elections produced an inconclusive result. it's been in coalition talks mainly with the secular c.h.p. opposition party, but the indication we are told today is that after all of these talks, the two sides have not been able to come to agreement to form a government and we're waiting for more details to come out about press conferences at a meeting going on now. >> how does this political vacuum effect the running of the country, particularly this critical time when issues of national security of paramount? >> the markets don't like it. the turkish currency, the lira has already fallen to an historic low against the u.s. dollar, at two point eight two lira to the dollar. it was at 2.212 months ago, so aing significant fall over the

last 12 months. it means we are probably going to have to have another round of elections in turkey. now constitutionally, that means that will be 90 days from now, so mid november when elections will be held, winter in turkey and when the weather is particularly bad in the east of the country, difficult for people to get out and vote. there has to be some sort of government form to manage the country that would either be a grand coalition of all the parties that are represented in parliament, that, though, seems unlikely. it may be a minority party, a rule supported by another right wing party. that looks to be wait they are going to stay in power until those election. >> thank you for that, live in istanbul. >> five guatemalan solers are accused of brutally beating two

young men. the incident has some people questioning the militaries role in civilian policing. >> an abuse of power captured on video. guatemalan soldiers visually beat two among men in a town two hours west of guatemalan city. the soldiers warned them that this is how they were trained. the video went viral in guatemala with some supporting soldiers actions and others shocked by the disregard for the law. guatemalan authorities launched an investigation. >> on thursday, the soldiers were arrested and brought here to the public prosecutor's office. they will face a judge on allegations of abuse of authority and maltreatment that a minor. >> for more than 15 years, guatemala's military has helped with civilian policing, combined patrols set up to assess the

police force created at the end of the countries civil war, but police have been unable to kirk violent crime and guatemala's president himself, a retired general ordered more soldiers on to the streets. analyst said that puts guatemalans at risk. a government accord states that combined patrols must be under police command. >> it's worrying that in the video, we don't see any police officers in the patrol. in spite of its institutional failings, the police are trained to serve the community, and guarantee the safety of citizens. soldiers in these combined patrols don't have specialized training to carry out this. >> community leaders in the town where the video was recorded signed this document, asking that the army continue their patrols. >> i think this was an isolated incident. we're cooperating with the

relevant authorities to deal with it. i don't think it will have serious repercussion like violators of human rights. we're here to help ensure the safety of its citizens. >> some call the soldiers heroes and say they should be released. a court will now decide if these men went too far. david mercer, al jazeera, guatemala city. >> lawyers for a man head in guantanamo have accused the obama administration of endangering his life. he was cleared for release in 2009. he's been on hunger strike for more than eight years and his condition described as life threatening. we have this report. >> the u.s. military has held this map at guantanamo since early 2002. in 2009, the obama administration decided that the map from yemen no longer posed a

security risk and should be released. it is 2015 and he is still at guantanamo. his lawyer filed a petition to force the u.s. government to release him on humanitarian grounds. >> they are fighting his case in court in order to win the authority to continue to hold him, despite having cleared him for release and despite the president's oft repeated statements that he intends to close the prison. >> he has not eaten voluntarily in more than eight years and weight dropped to less than forth eight-kilos. his lawyers call it a life threatening situation. it comes at a time when officials at guantanamo and at the pentagon have struggled to deal with detainees launching hunger strikes to protest their situation. they won't say how many are force-fed because they don't want to highlight what they call

political actions. his lawyer said he said trying to stay focused on his client. >> they are force-feeding a man gravely ill in order to keep him alive so they can prolong his detention despite the fact he's been cleared for release. >> the obama administration won't comment because the case is before a federal judge but stress they are committed to closing guantanamo. al jazeera, washington. >> the south screen government is monitoring reports that north carolina's vice premier has been executed. the news agency in seoul said the official was killed by firing squad in may. several high profile political figures have been killed this year. he was last seen in public in

december. >> >> everyone's day outside, a history still alive in the minds of the young. >> even though lots of time has passed since liberation, japan hasn't settled its past issues and offered and apology. they are here to support these women, forced into prostitution during the second world war. 200,000 women were used in this way. the united states has called ate terrible violation of human rights. this woman was taken from her home at able 14, told she'd be sent to a factory, instead shipped between military brothels. >> people talk about august 15 coming up, but for us, liberation hasn't come.

even now, we are still fighting against japan. >> conflict goes back hundreds have years. a recent hit t.v. show in saw the korea charts--to some, caught korea relied too much on historical grievance to build identity. with a campaign to have the waters surrounded them recognized as the east sea, as well as the sea of japan. >> if they step back, it would strip away the figure leaf from

japanese denial and really put the onus for change before it belongs. >> others say the japanese prime minister is refusing to deal with the japanese military past as it looks to free it from restrictions. >> the core of all this is to discourage japan's constitution and would realize collective self defense and a starting point for the all that is denying its past history of aggression. >> history still bears down heavily on its national identity and international relationships. >> after the break, going green in nigeria. this new cooking gel is preferred to many other bio fuels. >> top seeds tumble, how nadal got on at the montreal masters

>> renewable energy say there is growth potential. >> at home, she is using a new kind of cooking fuel that helps her breathe more easily. she suffers from asthma and is

environmentally aware so is glad to have found the gel. >> my kitchen, my environment and everything is better. >> the gel releases carbon dioxide but far less toxic than burning wood or charcoal. it uses the left over from saw dust from mills that would otherwise go to waste. when plants grow, they absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. >> we could create a world that is green and cleaned a sustainable, that has helped my thinking in ways by which i want

to invest and where i want to put my money to work and the kind of legacy i want to leave behind. >> some other bio fuels create ethanol from crops potentially denying people valuable food sources. they need to be produced from a resource widely available but less in demand, like the saw dust waste and weeds used here. >> for a purely sustainable solution for africa are very significant, and therefore, it's important to start already now looking at such much more advanced fuel. >> it is being produced in nigeria but sold in ghana. it requires a special stove that costs u.s. $14. the fuel costs 5 cents and is selling to 350 house olds.

still has yet to be accomplished. i've got work to do and from there, we'll adjust and work our butts off to try and get a third major this year, which should be a pretty cool place in history to be a part of. >> speith can replace mcelroy as the world number one if he wins his third major of the year, he has not played since the u.s. open two months ago. the northern irish man injured his ankle playing football with friends. >> i am looking forward to being a part of that group this year. i was a part of it last year, being in the major winners group and jordan winning in two of the majors this year obviously gets me back into that grouping. it's something i'm excited about. i knew i wasn't going to have a low key return to the game, and this definitely isn't it. >> on to tennis, nadal through to the third round of the montreal masters. the 14 grand slam winner made his first hard court appearance
