last. hour jazeera. where every. is it a told what if a week in las vegas but a little bit of sport to help them out yeah a new n.h.l. team couldn't have come at a better time watchmakers this first ever sports team officially came into

existence on friday this was meant to be a moment of celebration but as you can imagine after sunday's shooting in the city that killed fifty nine people things were a little more somber for the vegas golden knights our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of the victims of this terrible are made they find strength and perseverance during this time of grief. the golden knights are playing in the national hockey league and after that you did start they went on for a two one victory over the dallas stars of franchise have said they hope to raise the spirits of the local community following that shooting. fans across north america are mostly decided about the new team but it wasn't just about hockey last night here's what people have been saying on social media mckayla shrader from auto i tweeted i just got emotional watching the v.a.'s golden knights win their first game in franchise history ward carroll of an applet says congrats to the golden knights for winning their first n.h.l.

game ever and respect to the dallas stars for being class toast hash tag they gave us strong and finally a tweet from the biggest golden knights that got hundreds of retreats and thousands of likes we are vegas born we are vegas strong watching that game in dallas was a cannibal he's the author of sin bin dot vegas a website dedicated to the vegas golden knights can how was the atmosphere there in dallas last night. was that still only your normal hockey atmosphere when they were playing the game but in that moment that you just showed before it was very strong moments that teams were standing for the national anthem and the dallas stars players wound up skating so the other side right behind that they just go on the ice players and they flashed viva las vegas on the side and there was a lot of reaction to that it was it was a pretty powerful moment has the shooting in the city impacted the way people and

las vegas feel about this team. i definitely think that it's kind of brought this community a little bit closer to the team i think that the community definitely was excited about the biggest goldmines but they were excited about a hockey team coming to town now they're excited about someone that's actually going to represent vegas and for them to go out and win that first game and and really do it for vegas and and show that they are the first team member to actually be from big s. and to represent vegas and i think that they're really going to come together and the support is just going to continue to grow especially for tuesday's home game well they won their first game how do you think they'll perform this season. i think they're not a very good team i think it's kind of unbelievable they won that game because the way hockey goes sometimes the better team doesn't win and that's kind of what happened last night they did not play all that well but the goals went in for the

full nights and they didn't for the star so it want to be a pretty good last night but through the course of the season i don't know how good they're going to be a day when they might not be good at all ok well in general is the arrival of a dare add franchise in the city long overdue. oh i definitely think it's long overdue there's always been sort of this stigma of vegas that either the city is small enough that they chance or the team or that no one's confessional franchise would want to bring gambling to it you know to the city so there's always been that in there and. the n.h.l. finally decided that it was time and now moving forward we're hoping that you know all the concessional sports but hopefully the next maybe ten years or so ok interesting to get your thoughts kendall keith thanks so much for your time to another story dominating the discussion in us sport online over the past twenty four hours the major league baseball playoffs it's not everyone's cup of tea but

a deepening political crisis. you're watching al-jazeera live from london also coming up. turkey's president announces an operation to rid serious province of. his. rallies across russia vladimir putin's birthday but then also on the streets to convey their best wishes. and its cause devastation in central america arcanite is now barreling towards the u.s. gulf coast. tens of thousands of people have rallied in madrid and barcelona calling for spanish unity and for talks to resolve the country's worst political crisis in decades this was the scene in madrid

a sea of spanish lacks people came onto the streets to call for talks between officials from the northeastern region of catalonia which is pushing for secession and spanish leaders who say last weekend's vote on it was illegal. in barcelona demonstrators wore voice as a sign of political neutrality and chanted let's talk forty say a majority voted in the referendum backed a split from spain of a fierce they may declare independence as early as next week. after ronnie. hundreds of people are gathered here in the center of barcelona all in the name of urging politicians from either side all this issue to get together and there has been an incredible amount of tension which has been building up since sunday's referendum and people here are feeling that it was sorely missed all of this gathered wearing white shirts voting politicians to talk them out of the saying

this so in fact that you that they're also saying yes we can in fact and inspire nish yes we can they need that kind of result this dispute through a dialogue we have here because we want the decent stuff between them i mean we will find a solution the discipline of where he going from you know the top peacefully and that each side demonstrate respect to one another to give them didn't just a moment just a moment i think we need a space to express ourselves in the middle of such a polarized situation for both governments are taking us to the brink of disaster this rally is not just taking place in barcelona but in other cities and catalonia and also for spain even in other cities in europe such as berlin and london there's a very real sense say with people who are attending this that politicians on either side of this issue are really letting down the concerns of the ordinary citizens and that what is being done here is a lot of political gains by the side for what is so there is now most people

including the european union believe that it is. that's necessary to bring the situation back some of the very tense rights which has the. since the referendum last sunday. turkey has announced it's starting an operation in syria is it in a province ankara isn't sending its own forces into but is facking syrian rebel groups from the turkish side of the border turkish president. says turkish soldiers haven't yet and hit the area much of it is being controlled by tata al shaab factions spearheaded by a former al-qaeda affiliates live now to al jazeera he's on the turkish side of the border in gaziantep. here's something of the latest on what's happening on that border area and just how significant this operation is. felicity the build

up continues now on the border with the turkish army. starting the preparation and also fighters from the free syrian army are joining the operation there will be the ones just of the incursion into syria and. in. the first phase of this military operation the turkish army will provide logistic assistance to the free syrian army could also use artillery to break the defense lawyers of. a while ago the turkish army issued a statement saying that. the army's chief of staff. officers commanders of the land forces along with turkey's intelligence chief have been in. to visit the army forces stationed there this is quite a significant move it comes against the backdrop of the. agreement with will that

turkey iran and russia for the deescalation in. phase two will be quite significant that's where the turkish army is going to. move into it and secure it now we don't know whether the the head of the sharon is going to hand over its weapons surround or fight back and this is this poses quite a security challenge as for the turkish army that does not want to see itself burge down in a protracted conflict inside. by the way the last remaining stronghold for the syrian opposition groups and some of those girls particularly to have made it quite clear that they are determined to continue the fight to maintain their presence there and as a model that challenges might the turkish army now face. first challenger this is you know for quite some time for the last six years for this city turkey

iran and russia have been supporting opposing factions inside syria this is the first time that they are going to coordinate their destination inside syria particularly in it remains to be seen how the coordination will move on and what will be the future after the desk elation who's going to take control of it live what wall with the free syrian army and other moderate factions play inside. syria particularly in where the russians the iranians or the turkish. government agree on a modus operandi the second biggest challenge for the turkish government is the area of our freedom which is on the border with turkey of us a stronghold for the syrian democratic forces a coalition of kodesh fighters the turkish government has said that it does not want to see any. fighters are affiliated with the president of

a particular time the areas not walk away from babel how across the way the major military operation is and their way we don't know whether their fighters will put out or whether the russians or other forces will try to implement a buffer zone to try to prevent this from a playing any activity role in the future role in the future. thank you. british police say they're not ruling out that an incident outside of museum in west london was terrorism related several people were injured when a car mounted pavement outside the natural history museum in south kensington site is a popular attraction i think locals and of course tourists. is there for us live right now meet us bring us up to date with the latest of what's been happening. felicity there's been a tremendous amount of activity here for the last few hours as you can probably see behind me it's a part of london where there are

a concentration of museums the victorian museum the natural history museum a bit further down the road and then the science museum exhibition road to the right down here we've just learned that the v.n.a. museum is still open to visitors on a saturday all of these museums are in incredibly busy so it's probably an indication of how secure the police feel about this scene now that they're allowing this museum to remain open roughly about twenty past two there are reports of a vehicle mounting the pavement several reports of people being injured we don't know how seriously those injuries are we don't know which hospitals people have been taken to but most certainly what we have seen is incredibly quick police reaction to this scenario not only whether museums were also several key embassies as well let me give you a closer look at what's actually have. down there now if alex our cameraman takes

a closer look you've got to make sure all of the specialist police officers scene of the crime officers regular officers as well along with forensic teams who we've seen combing the corner of exhibition road and cromwell road where the car actually hits several of the vehicles and mounted the pavement it is north according to police being treated as terrorism related although they have only in the last few moments or so said that they are keeping an open mind the driver of that vehicle was quickly holed out of the car pinned to the ground by a combination of security guards from the nearby museums and passes by the person who originally according to the police was said to have been arrested the police then clarified that and said that that individual has been detained where i'm totally going to find out more about what exactly has happened here in the coming few hours yeah it is confusing given the police that sort of issued two statements five one of the news agencies the reality is that it's on surprising there has been

such a response to this incident given the attacks that london and other parts of the u.k. have suffered in the last. five in all four in london one in manchester a lot of people have died this year in the u.k. a lot of those deaths have been a direct result of terrorism related incidents that is why there is so much sensitivity that is why there is so much concern particularly when situations like this arise many of those incidents obviously we saw ordinary every day. whether they be not lives or whether they be recalls weaponized and it's exactly why an incident like this where a vehicle mounts of pavements where there are pedestrians injured that has alarm bells ringing the police now need to establish for certain exactly what happened here but as you heard the authorities. the met police here in london are keeping an

open mind that's the latest we're hearing barca. thank you. for still ahead on the program a force for reform or a politician for the failed promises we'll examine the legacy of the liberian president ellen johnson sirleaf the she prepares to step down. and making it to the mainstream african artist take center stage some doctrine on. how i think. the flooding across parts of vietnam over the next couple of days eastley when striving.
