this is al jazeera. hello there. s this the news hour live from london. coming up in the next 60 minutes. ending the conflict in libya. can a summit in italy bring sustained peace and block isil. russia says one warship fired warning shots at a turkish vessel as tensions between the countries continue to grow. at least two people are killed in the capital of the central african republic during

a referendum meant to bring stability to the country. here in new york street art like this is becoming ever-more prevalent and the street artists themselves gaining worldwide attention. i'm gabriel, and that story is coming up. we have the day's sports as asia's football champions pull off a huge upset at the club world cup. this win is china setting up a semifinal encounter with barcelona. for months foreign powers have been pressuring rival factions in libya to form a unity government to block the advance of isil in the country. a major meeting on the political future wrapped up in rome with the u.s. secretary of state john kerry warning that libya needs to move forward to realize its

future. the country's two rival parliaments are set to meet on wednesday to sign an agreement to form a unity government, but opponents have been resisting the deal, and past agreements have fallen through. libya's leadership is torn between the general national congress based in tripoli and the internationally recognized government based in the eastern city of tabruk. the u.s., italy and u.n. have met with libyan representatives in rome to press both sides to move forward. the major concern is isil, which has already taken over the libyan city of sert. speaking just after the talks, the u.s. secretary of state john kerry said the majority of people in libya's rival governments are ready to sign an agreement. >> so the presence today of representatives of those majorities and their presence

reflects the broad international support that exists for a uni unified and secure libya. the vacuum that has been left there is a vacuum readily filled by extremists, and it takes libya not to the direction of a government that can serve the needs of the people but to the direction of chaos. so the communique we issued today calls on all parties to accept an immediate comprehensive ceasefire in all parts of libya, and no one understands the need for that better than the libyan leaders here with us in role. -- rome. they represent a majority of both the entities that have been at loggerheads and now prepared to try and move forward. they know the unacceptable price that rivalry and personal

ambition and/or strife are inflicts on the people of libya. this is about the people of libya. >> al jazeera is in rome. you can hear in john kerry's voice he hopes things will work, but there's no sort of optimism or sort of unjustified optimism there. do you think that the building blocks are in place, that this could be the beginning of some kind of stability for libya? >> reporter: no doubt we heard encouraging statements. at the same time the leaders caution this is just the beginning. there is a long road ahead like you mentioned, but there is no doubt the international community is determined to push this political process forward. they came to rome to give really a clear message that the u.n. deal is the only way forward. those who join and sign onto this agreement, they've been

calling on parties to join this agreement. they're confident that they have the support of the majority. there are two rival parliaments in libya. there are splits within these two rival parliaments, but the majority in each of these parliaments are now on board. the majority who did participate in the meetings today, they are powerful groups, but there is no doubt there is opposition inside and outside libya even according to the u.s. secretary of state. he really had a really clear message of the minority and the people who do not want peace for their country. he said that they will be held accountable. so very strong words, almost as if giving some sort of warning, but we understand that the international community wants this to work. we also understand that the military option is on the table. the italian foreign minister told us on friday that the

military option is plan b. if the political process, you know, doesn't gain any momentum. >> part of that is because italy like a lot of western countries are preoccupied with the expansion of isil in the country and the immigration crisis that sort of stems often from libya's situation right now. what about the libyan factions themselves? how worried are they by isil's expansion? do they see it as a threat to them as well? >> reporter: undoubtedly, of course, libyan factions see isil as a threat. one example. isil is now based in sert. this is in the central -- it's a central city in libya not too far from misrata. we were in misrata earlier this year, and the people there said, yes, we're worried. we're setting up checkpoints and don't want isil to infiltrate our area. it's the safest place in libya,

but misrata couldn't deploy all the forces there and didn't want to take the fight to isil because they were engaged in an internal battle with their domestic opponents. for them that was the priority. there was no doubt that they were worried about the expansion of isil. isil has not just taken control of sert. it's threatening another city further east, and that's where the oil and gas terminals are. undoubtedly libya's rival fakszs are worried, but the hard bargaining lies ahead. the power-sharing agreement is key. when you sit down and form a government, everyone has to feel represented and everyone has to feel that they have a share in the decision-making of libya. so the hard bargaining comes ahead, but this is a first step. in the words of the italian foreign minister, this could be a breakthrough. >> the latest from rome where that meeting has been taking place. dana, thank you.

russia's defense ministry summoned the military attache over an incident in the agean sea. one fired to prevent a collision with the turkish fishing boat. the russian military says small arms were used against the boat after it failed to respond to radio contact and warning flares. we have more from the turkish port city. >> reporter: the tush kish foreign ministry confirmed that the military attache in moscow was summoned, and the turks were not given any further details. they have no comment. what we know the version of the events is coming from one side, and it's coming from moscow. according to the details of the version of events that the russians are saying is that

surveillance russian ship was very close with the approaching turkish fishing shoep ship. the russians tried to establish communications with the turks and that didn't work. they used visual signals and other means to try and persuade the turkish ship to go away. then according to the russians they had to fire some small arms. after that the russian -- the turkish ship went away. all of that comes after the deteriorating relations between russia and turkey. turkey downed a russian fighter jet last month. turkey said it violated turkish air space on the border with syria, and the russians after that were very angry. they composed economic sanctions on turkish products. there is heated rhetoric between

the two countries, and things could really escalate further. >> let's go to ankara and talk to a professor of social sciences. so far we seem to have a version of events from moscow, but not really a clear explanation of what happened from the turkish side. do you have any more clarity? has turkish tv given more information about this? >> well, i think basically what's happening is turkey is confined with the russian version of the event. what's interesting in this incident is turkey foreign ministry doesn't show very harsh reaction to this incident, and they say we are going to list the fishermen and captain and make a new evaluation.

turkey at the present is not interested actually in the technical details of the incident rather than it tries to show a very precautionary attitude about the incident. >> obviously, all of this comes after the downing as they mentioned there, the downing of the russian jet last month by turkey. we saw relates deteriorate. you think we'll see them on air and by the sea of more clashes by turkey and russia. are any serious enough to cause an escalation? >> i think now it is very clear that we could describe turkey and russian relations as a crisis level and i think this crisis is going to raise. turkey when they shoot the russian airplane, it said that

we followed our engagement rules, and i think probably russia is also going to apply it's engagement rule against turkey. i think a similar incident if it happened, it's no surprise. what we see is that rather than a military confrontation between turkey and russia, we will see a sort of political and diplomatic confrontation in iraq in syria and kurdistan. >> we saw russia escalate its role in the region. it started to attack isil and obviously supports president al assad. we see this tension with turkey. is it not in turkey's interests to de-escalate tensions with russia? all of this is happening on turkey's doorstep, so any further escalation would automatically damage turkey

more. >> i think, yes. i mean, this crisis, the escalation of this crisis puts turkey in a very difficult position because russia is very -- is a superpower. it has a very deep influence in the middle eastern region in some countries like iran, iraq and syria and now russia tries to build a sort of allies against turkey. we see these allies reactions defense against against turkey in the crisis. turkey is de-escalating the crisis to its benefit, but russia and iran follow the opposite direction. >> professor speak speaking to you from ankara.

thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. syrian and russian jets have targeted the rebel-held eastern region killing dozens of targets. the head of the armed group says talks between rebels and government would only benefit president bashar al assad. we have the report. >> reporter: in this moment of shear panic and desperation, talk of a truce is irrelevant. bloodied bodies clutter the floor of a temporary basement clinic in douma. in this rebel stronghold outside damasc damascus, lifeless infants are checked for vital signs. on another table a doctor tries to save another child that lost his legs. the streets of douma are littered with debris and shards of glass, making it difficult to meet those in needs. the syrian observatory for human rights says at least 28 people were killed and dozens injured

on sunday. most of the victims were children and women at a market and a school. activists say syrian and russian jets were targeting rebels who shelled damascus from the area. syria's state-run news agency says rebels launched mortars into damascus on sun killing a young girl and injuring three others. this latest exchange the fire between rebels and the government comes as united nations humanitarian chief steven o'brien toured government health areas whiching damascus and homs. he's trying to address the needs of millions of syrians. the u.n. has proposed a ceasefire deal to allow humanitarian aid in and some civilians to leave. it's also hoping it will lead to a nationwide truce. this follows a saudi-sponsored initiative to unify the political opposition and hold direct talks with the regime, but the leader of one of the

most prom innocent groups is criticized that proposal saying syria's government is no longer in charge. >> translator: they only control 20% of syria. they have lost the power. the army has turned into groups of factions. this is not an army. now they have more weapons than the regime has. >> reporter: the u.n. says at least 220,000 people have been killed since the start of the war in march 2011, and for the millions of syrians living in in devastation, there appears to be no end in sight. coming up on al jazeera, why the french far right might struggle to reap its earlier success in the second round of regional elections. one month on from the paris attacks, and we look at how life has changed in the french capital. in sport, find out if arsenal can return to the top of

the english premier league. there are reports that at least two people are dead and around 20 others injured in the central african republic as voters there go to the polls. earlier there were reports of heavy weapons fire in a mostly muslim district in the capital. machine guns and rocket launchers were used near a school where people were queueing to vote on a new referendum for the constitution. they're going to hold free elections later this month after two years of instability. we have the report now on how french and u.n. troops may struggle with the fresh violence. >> reporter: french soldiers on patrol in the capital of banghi. they have been here for two years. they've not welcomed by everyone. along with local suspects, french and other foreign tripes have been accused of sexually

abusing children and women. >> more than 700 cases were already documented in 2014. it shows that beyond this specific or what i call emblematic case, do you have widespread issues of violence or sexual violence against children. >> french commanders and the united nations told al jazeera those involved have been dismissed from duty and are awaiting trial. french soldiers have been accused of siding with christians against muslims. the french ambassador denies the allegation. >> when when interferes between two warring sides and attempts to prevent clashes between them, criticism is poured onto him from both sides. we're here, of course, defending the muslims. we can't leave the massacres. our mission is to protect all civilians if any eminent assaults. >> reporter: in muslim areas the welcome for the french is

guarded. >> translator: the french intervention helped us a lot and reduced the am of killing, destruction and looting. however the role is on the decline as their number is shrinking. the country is vast and we don't have an army. >> reporter: the frerj force has been cut two-thirds to 900 soldiers. if fighting starts again between the warring rebels. the change of perception is not a positive sign. most people express their fears of the worst if the french troops retreat. that means another massacre killing hundreds of innocents from both sighs as two years the desire for medicine is voech alive. burundi's police have been accused of killing at least 85 civilians between friday and saturday, most of them young to middle-aged men. burundi's police deny the claims. the army says it killed 79 armed men attacking three of their

compounds in the capital on friday. by saturday witnesses say dozens of bodies were found lying in the street. more than 600 have been killed since april when burundi's president announced he was running for a third term. mohammed is following the story from nearby nairobi. he sent this update. >> reporter: there is a massive police scoop targeting some neighbors in the city. they arrested a number of young men, and others were also shot on the streets. the government has denied it killed civilians and say all those killed are people they calm enemies of their state. now, the position has denied they've been involved in the violence with the man who has

been considered the face of burundian opposition. he's saying that its up to the government to tell the people of burundi who is actually cutting out the killings and who is continuing with this violence saying that the opposition are not even united enough to come together to issue one press release, and they don't have the capacity to carry out the killings against anyone. now, with the continuing violence in burundi, there are fears it could rekindle civil war in the country based on ethnicity. this country has gone through a civil war from 1993 to 2005, and this is something that is still fresh in people's minds. that is one of the reasons why more than 200,000 people have crossed the borders so seek asylum in rwanda.

the united nations is concerned on the issue of civilian protection and now is contemplating deployment of u.n. peacekeepe peacekeepers. france is voting in the second round of local elections seen as a test for the far right. the national front party calls the stir last week by winning the largest share of the vote in the first round. a higher turnout and tactical voting is expected this time, meaning the party will struggle to turn the early lead into solid gains. here's how the vote works. parties that got more than 10% in the first round are elvibl jibl to participate in sunday's contest. the national front secured 28% of the vote, leading in six of frances 13 regions. president hollande's socialist part urged tactical votes to keep them out. it urged its left wing supporters to back nicolas sarkozy's republicans with a better chance of keeping the far

right out. jacky rowland is live in paris, republican party headquarters. just explain to us why a difference in turnout and we are expecting this to be higher than last time, why that would impact on the votes for you now? >> reporter: the latest estimates we're getting for the total turnout in the second and decisive round of voting is 59% compared to only 50% in the first round. the people that didn't bother to go to the voting station a week ago have gone this sunday. in many cases people were surprised by the stroj performance of the national front, and this may be the reason why extra people came out to cast their votes in such a way to try and block the national front. certainly tact tal voting has happened because of two implications. they called out and explicitly

instructed supporters to vote for republicans to keep out the far right. >> that creates the strange situation of the republicans kind of benefits from all of this. >> reporter: in many ways in france when you're faced with a choice between two parties but they're not your first chase, maybe you're a socialist voter asked to vote for the republicans and or maybe con stint yent see where they look strongerment it's the case of choosing the party which is the least worst option, sp many people in france feel that the national is the worst option. the national front now is clear in the elections and a force to be reckoned with. it's no longer a fringe party. we could move into an era now in france where instead of that being two main parties, socialist on the left and republicans on the right, we could be looking at a new

three-party system. >> so obviously these are regional, local elections, so per se, the positions aren't that important. it would be a huge symbol, wouldn't it, if they still did well for future national elections? >> they have lots of power. certainly they don't have any power like immigration and security which object luesly see the big campaign of the national front. however, they give an indication of the political temperature in the country, and certainly if the national front were to vote and win, say, one region, it would be a major step forward for them and actually protecting themselves at the mainstream party in national elections and the elections that everyone is looking toward, the presidential election of april 2017. that's a very long way away.

already people are wondering about how maureen and her national front party will faefrle next time they're called upon to vote for their president. >> we expect those results to come in in an hour or so. we'll talk to you then. thank you. staying in france, it's exactly a month since gunmen opened fire on a crowded music venue, bars and restaurants in the people killing 132 people people. we look at what we've learned since those attacks. >> reporter: the isil attacks in paris that targeted sports fans, concert-goers and diners happened a month ago. a month in which life has changed dramatically. >> i think in the short to medium-term, the world is on only going to become more dangerous as a result of the things that are happening.

that's a consequence of the fact that islamic state has become so strong and global jihadism has become so strong. >> reporter: it was friday the 13th and at least eight attackers opened fire randomly with several detonating suicide vests. all were european citizens and some returned with battle experience from syria while others lives as social outcast the in syria and brussels. >> there's a war raging in syria and iraq and security. you have radicalized limited networks in the heart of europe. isis could not have carried out this massive attack in paris without having local, local recruits. >> reporter: paris fouled a string of isil attacks on civilian citizens including the

bombing of a russian passenger jet over egypt that killed 242 people exactly a fortnight earlier. western capitals respond with the rhetoric of war with an expanding campaign against the creeping fear of attack at home. >> the western powers will not send boots on the ground to syria and iraq. this means the response in terms of rhetoric is basically vocal. we're at war, and the reality is really the same strategy. air strikes along with supporting local forces on the ground. it means it's a long, gradual strategy that will take years. >> it's been a bad month for refugees still filing into europe by the thousands each day. with perhaps two of the paris atashgers blooeed to have entered europe among the refer gee influx, it's been tighted up

on the far right. it's a good month for bashar al assad, whose army is the dominant force on the ground in syria with the spotlight now on eradicating isil, he may benefit from the ancient proverb, the enemy is not an enemy of a friend. the coalition between western countries in the wake of paris pa attacks signalses a new three although. a constant thereto from wash to mosco moscoso, possibly for years ago to come. >>. watching al jazeera. still to come on the program, immediate the saudi women making strides for equality and democrat sigh. plus, the real work starts now. look at the challenges ahead after the landmark vote of the climate deal. in sport after a record winning stream in the nba, the golden state warriors finally take on

>> "inside story" takes you beyond the headlines, beyond the quick cuts, beyond the soundbites. we're giving you a deeper dive into the stories that are making our world what it is.

welcome back. a major meeting on libya's political future wrapped up in rome with u.s. secretary of state john kerry warning libya needs unity to move forward and realize its future. a russian surveillance ship fired warning shots to prevent a crash with a turkish fishing boat. the russian defense minister summoned turkish officials over the incident. two people died in violence in the central african republic where voting for a constitutional referendum is taking place. results are coming from saudi arabia's ground-breaking municipal leaks. women vote toed ed for the first time and were up as candidates. we have more from saudi arabia. >> reporter: the doors have opened to a new era in saudi

public life with two milestones reached. women gaining the right to vote and to stand as candidates in local elections. >> translator: i feel very happy that king solomon gave us an opportunity to vote. now we're equal to men. >> reporter: a journey to jernld gender equality has been the slow one and the overall pace of political reform. the monarchy often applies a literal interpretation of islamic law, and so far saudis have voted in just three local elections to choose councils that are the only elected bodies in the kingdom. >> i want to say the woman to be more involved in every institution, in the government, and mountain private sector, okay? to be part of planning and execution and part of the evaluation, she has been to be there. >> reporter: behind the scenes they have powerful positions.

they sit on the country's top adviceary body and most university graduates are fee fael. with such strides, women still doan don't drive to the polls so saturday, a freedom most women elts where enjoy. >> let's get more on the story, an intree premuir and supporters of women's rights in saudi arabia. thank you for joining us on al jazeera. here on al jazeera we covered the story extensively yesterday and even some of the female commentators that we spoke to said even if not a single woman goes through, it's a victory. now we know that at least 17 women have been voted in. so certainly a success. how do you feel? do you see this as a big step forward for women in saudi arabia? >> it is definitely a milestone for women.

not just for women, but i believe it's amilestone for the saudi society in general. in this election this year the women participated but also they lowered age of participation to 18 years of age. the idea of involving the spectrum of the society within this important election or important position. it's a huge success and a huge step forward in the development of saudi arabia. >> we saw in the report that we were watching this because before we came to you, obviously saudi women play a big part in society. do you think that these 17 women that have been elected will face bigger differences than the male counterparts, or what do you think will be the specific difficulties they will face because they are women and in a way they're making history?

>> we already have loads of difficulties fighting to get to this position. i don't think any difficulties we will face in the future will be anything different or something we kaent deal with. thank god through these steps we have learned how to run -- how to get over obstacles. i mean, we managed to get in one of the two highest positions in saudi government, in the councils. there will be difficulties definitely. it's ants easy job because, again, this position is one of the most important decision miefking positions. it's not going to be easy for a woman or a man. you know, in municipal council

you're faced with problems for the society, problems within the infrastructure. so we have to teach ourselves how to deal with these difficulties and how to be able to overcome them and how to benefit from the experience of everyone working with us. one more thing we have to learn now is how to co-work both male and female and be on the same page just for the benefit of the society instead of thinking, you know, who has the power or who has the last word in the decision. we have to work together. we have to improve our societies. so i guess it's it's a long journey, and we just started. >> certainly outside of the arab world in the international community, whenever people think of saudi women it's like saudi

women can't drive. it's almost like saudi women are almost defined by that thing that they can't do. that seems to be i hope you don't mind to be saying so but that's the view from outside the arab world. i'm just wondering from your point of view, what would you see as the next step? what is the one right that perhaps saudi are lacking that is most important right now, whether it's driving or something completely different? >> i guess that development is an ongoing process. you can next stop and say that's enough. i don't think for us women there's not only one thing to solve all the problems. it's a combination of several things, incremental changes and we need that to come toke to live a better life.

we have lots of issues and things, like for instance being able to process all my -- we still have this issue for women whether she come to process the paperwork like the passport or her i.d., she needs a guardian to go and apply for it but right now there are strong movements and the government is actually trying to make that change where people go and finish their paperwork without a guardian, without a male by her side to finish this. another thing is that personally i'm looking forward to this in idecision-making in the government. i believe this will improve a

lot of things not just for females but also for the culture in general. hopefully that will we will get there one day. >> we have seen a victory with this election, so certainly a step in the right direction. women's right it is supporter in saudi arabia, it's been great getting your views here on al jazeera. thank you. >> you're welcome. now, the paris climate change agreement reached on saturday is being described as a historic breakthrough that signals the end of the fossil fuel era, but the way ahead is far from smooth sailing as our science editor now explains. >> for thousands of delegates and many world leaders that spend the last two weeks in climate talks, obvious joy and relief at a deal. once the cheering subsides, the much tougher job of turning

promises into action begins. the paris agreement sits to limit warming at 2 degrees below sells yum and a maximum of 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels. the problem is the commitments made by 187 countries in paris are not enough to do this. it's estimated that even if they're achieved hold warming between 2.7 and 3 degrees. >> we hoped it could be more ambitio ambitious. this does not put us on the path to prevent temperature rise below 2 degrees. >> this must peak as soon as possible. to do this, it lies on voluntary national plans. as they stand, these plans see global emissions continue to rise and by a significant amount. it's an outcome that brought

protesters out into the streets of the philippines capital of manila. >> the interests of the philippines haven't been adequately addressed, leaving the decisions for countries not having a very well-defined farth for emissions actually makes it more dangerous for countries like the philippines for climate change. >> reporter: the overall agreement is legally binding. some elements of it including the pledge to curb emissions by individual countries are not. this means that the success of the agreement depending entirely on political will with each country setting its own goals and deciding whether to sign up to a five-year checkup on what progress its making. one of the leading scientists put it this way. >> it's a fraud really, a fake. it's worthless words. no action and just promises. as long as fossil fuels are the cheapest out there, they will continue to be burned.

>> reporter: the agreement recycles a pledge from previous talks to raise $100 billion a year from rich countries to help poor countries transform their economies. overall success in tackling climate change rests as it always has on the shoulders of individual governments. it's now up to them to honor their promises and good intentions and turn their words into actions. at least 23 people have died in a fire at a mental health clinic in russia. many of those killed were bed-ridden. of 50 rescued at least 20 are badly injured. investigators are trying to figure out what the cause of the fire was. campaigning is underway in spain ahead of the general election next week. opinion polls say not one will win the party. at least 40% of the electorate are still unsdeeded on who you

to vote for. >> sweden and ecuador reached an agreement over wikileaks founder julian assange. he's wanted in sweden for questions of allegation of sexual sauls. a street artist from paris started to put up his works in new york and as gabriel explains, they're already turning heads. >> reporter: all over new yo new york -- works with popping all over the city. he's installed in 65 other cities around the globe. his popularity has catapulted him into the top ranks of global

street artists and thousands of dollars. it caused earlier works to disappear from original spots. >> enjoy what he does and stuff. i want to see him, because a lot of people like to destroy the stuff. 2013 when visited us pretty much every single piece he put up was stolen. now he has to go higher. sometimes as high as a building's top floors. graffiti and street art might be a reaction to urban blight and decay, but more often they're gaining worldwide attention. >> i think of street art growing up in a different moment. a moment of more gentrified cities where the experience is ads and brands and people come along and do this poppy, ironic, stencil-based and image-based stuff that creates their own

brand and taking backspace in that ways. >> while classic art collectors may look down on street artists, people look up at the next piece of art to appear. al jazeera, new york. thousands of people have taken to the streets of brazil to protest against president rousseff. she faces impeachment for allegedly breaking budget laws to increase spending during her 2014 re-election campaign. she denies the allegations. many brazilians are more concerned by the deepening recession and the government's role in the corruption scandal. just ahead here on al jazeera, using the force. find out how science-fiction and reviving an ancient tradition in malaiysi malaysia. this hole in one enough to give bubba watson a title win in thailand?

the latest "star wars" film "the force awakens" will be released this week. it's the seventh film in the series and in that malaysia its reviving interest in an ancient art form. we have the report from malaysia. >> r2d2 and 3po with a distinct difference.

this is "star wars" and this is shadow puppets, elaborate shadow cast by intricately crafted puppets are projected onto a screen. the master puppeteer controls every move, provides the narration, and the voices. white the traditional band of musicians plays the soundtrack. it's to reconnect youth to this traditional art. so maybe if you use something they can easily recognize, then it will help the project. >> reporter: it came to fruition with the help of a veteran of the arm form. he's seen the popularity dwindle over the decades. this is another way he hopes to keep the art of it alive. he started a gallery for

visitors as well as his school where he trains pup tears, craf craftsmen and the that. >> in the past they atractsed crowds of up to 1,000 people. that number has more than halved with the younger generation choosing to watch movies and concerts instead. so the renewed interest comes as a pleasant surprise. >> it's a pleasure to be a puppeteer. i never expected it. there are so many that came to us, and this is to me a good sign. >> reporter: they travel around giving performances. >> this is crazy. how can you do something which is true with the cultures. >> reporter: however the show that received permission from lucas films needs funding.

until then it's only a 15-minute performance, but it's still enough to revive a dying art. florence lui, malaysia. time to get the sports news now. >> thank you very much, barbara. we saw the latest from english premier league where arsenal went top of the table thanks to a 2-0 win over astor villa. it's a good week for arsenal that made it through to the last 16 the champions league. they scored the hat trick on wednesday, and he was back amongst the goals in this game. a penalty from the french striker gave arsenal the lead. arsenal is a point clear of manchester city. >> i was a bit anxious today because we gave a lot wednesday night, and we came back very, very late on thursday morning. i knew that we had fighting to

survive, and fortunately it was maybe important points was to to do it against a team and then 20 nail it after in the second half. surprising results in sunday's two other games. tottenham lost for the second time this season, beaten 2-1 at home by newcastle. liverpool was 2-2. they scored a late equalizer for liverpool. there's been an upset at the top of the dutch league where they slipped to shock the fans. they were beaten 1-0. with the only goal of the game, they're still leading the title race with a two--point advantage. asian football champions have set up a semifinal showdown with barcelona at the fifa club
