hello again i'm watching the news live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next hour exodus from kirkuk thousands leave the iraqi city is the army moves in to take over parts of the kurdish run oil rich area. we can't understand this president and confusion the spanish government for mines cattle and leaders they have until thursday to withdraw their bid for independence. south. also this tiny pharaoh islands crowdsourcing has its own translation service in a bid to get google to add it. and sport calling cabernet fights back the american football quarterback in n.f.l. games filed a lawsuit saying he has a been hired to have played owners are colluding against him.

thousands of people are leaving the iraqi city of kirkuk as government forces advance on kurdish military positions the iraqi military says its forces have captured the k. one air base and the local airport which had been under peshmerga control the army and allied forces have also been moving on oil and gas positions all this follows last month's session referendum in iraq's kurdish region the iraqi prime minister haidar body released a statement saying he's fulfilling his constitutional duty that entails serving the people and the protection of the unity of iraq that has faced the threat of division due to the insistence of the kurdish leadership on holding the referendum in a unilateral manner while the iraqi government face the threat of ice or straight to charles stratford who's on the outskirts of kirkuk charly this exodus that we've been seeing over the past few hours is that still ongoing. certainly according to military sources and parchment associates that we've been speaking to that

operation continue here is. the one minute she bases now is only in the hands of iraq in. the cold. of the city and other areas southwest of kirkuk. standing in. basically seems to be false to this city thousands of families and moving away from kirkuk. we hearing reports plan. b. iraq a military having taken control of the military base was. to move to some of these oil fields in. kirkuk because. i think you could create a huge controversy following this referendum. the referendum last month. it's usually. a great prize for both

sides and. these ballots. will stand and fight they seem to be certainly. appearing with these and what we are hearing certainly accusations from some construction saying that those accusing them of treason coming to some sort of agreement with the iraqi military in terms of a tool for lease positions a lot of very angry peshmerga. people as well standing by the side of the road screaming at people and demanding that they go back to kill and fight. we're seeing also reports child saying that the from the u.s. led anti eisel coalition that this is nothing more than a a misunderstanding. well i think. a

huge on the statement if there was going to be a flashpoint in the in the. the controversial referendum. and of course the. area. it was always going to be as i say cook is being disputed for a long time now despite signing up to the two thousand and five referendum sorry two thousand and five constitution. one forty in constitution saying that. disputes will be results and sharing a little finalizing who will take control of these areas would be finalized in that article because it's feel completely down they feel down by the iraqi government and they feel very let down by the international community as well the having lost so many christians stand around one thousand seven hundred in the battle against

god so. i say kirkuk has huge symbolism for the. we see this being potentially a major city in any kind of future state. for for anybody to say that this is a good mix on the standing is frankly wrong it was always going to be a huge controversy and say it's not on expecting the government have to think this way we understand that there are still skirmishes going on on the outskirts of the city but can only really be described at the moment as quite a surprising stool from a number of areas despite these from the continue fighting that does seem to be split appearing just to be clear itself this is military movement on the parts of the iraqi military at the moment this is not

a full blown military operation. not courageous and it's important to stress that although there have been skirmishes that have been down battles we see no major major fighting in these areas on the stand from the school says. iraq a military that these areas that the iraqi military have taken control of have been taking control of as a result of pretty much a withdrawal from. those areas but certainly we've seen the pressure pulling back and driving to other areas across the fields around kirkuk suggesting that they are setting out more defensive positions and as i say it's understood that this advance by the iraq will now continue. on the stand and also. the army might have plans completely surrounding the city

itself too but yes the fighting itself has been really really like. thank you this. is in iraq the m.p.'s spokesman earlier he told me that despite kirkuk voting overwhelmingly for secession last month the people that do not want to be separate from iraq. one of the suburbs of. now under the control of the iraqi security forces. this is this is. the what's happening here and people should not forget that. there was and there the role of the government of iraq and the two thousand and fourteen when. stormed the three provinces not the knockout but the book was the world of the occupied by the peshmerga and they're trying to create

a new fact or a new reality on the ground and there and this has this was it totally clear that liberation african undone by about zanny why instead of mr bhansali is making given the kirkuk ok it was just the night before the session vote but kirkuk was allowed to vote the majority of people almost ninety three percent voted for succession almost more than ninety percent as well they voted the northern ten years ago for the constitution which it was declared the iraqi is a federal united. democratic country a republic so if they want to divorce it has to be from both sides well could you give us an indication of how long you think your forces will be there for the council up to the present that the iraqi parliament has outside of the right the prime minister the commander in chief. deploy iraqi security forces all

over the country all over the that it's of it and there are good are the crowds or whatever this is the constitutional duty of the prime minister and the commander in chief. to impose to implement the rule of law to implement this sovereignty of the government all over iraq and that's what he's doing. judith nearing is author and founder of the independent media center in kurdistan she joins us live here on the news from bill how do you think this will play out now. in iraqi kurdistan this is a huge problem because kirkuk is their jerusalem it's a very important place and they seem to have lost it a blame game is being played here at the moment between the two big parties k d p m p ok both saying that the other one left its positions and made it possible for the

iraqi army to take it take them over. how this will put it icky play out. definitely for the president mr barzani this is going to be a blow because he's been promising the people that kirkuk should be part of the iraqi state states that he wants to make and that's not going to be possible now could it have been anticipated that the past would fracture in the way that they reportedly have now fractured. well the peshmerga has never been really one army it's always been split between katy forces and be ok forces and then you have some small uranian and forces as well that are all part of these big. army that was fighting against isis. so the fact that it was never one also has an effect because

politically there has been a split between b. and b. ok for a long time day they fought a civil war in the ninety's and still that animosity is being filled i live here in arabic and when people talk about the money or where it be ok is that's never almost never in a very positive sense so the splits might even mean if this blame game is really serious that there will be a real split between the two arab male and the second the search down do hope on the wrong side and. so the manja near to the iranian border on the other side so there are many and just to be clear that's one of the places that people are heading to today as they're getting out of kirkuk what happens next question what happens if turkey gets involved perhaps militarily because turkey has a distinct set of objectives that it would want to go off to surely with the p k k

not necessarily the same set of objectives that baghdad would want to achieve. well this is an interesting political game being played here because strangely enough those two big powers that were always opposing themselves and that we're pulling on these two parties here in court they are united in this action in kirkuk and even america the american embassy has said that it supports the peaceful return. to the government of all this areas so the courts have really lost all their friends at this moment and this must be the reason why they have pulled out peacefully instead of really putting up the big fight that they have been promising ok we'll leave it there thank you very much. still to come here in the news for you including us back syrian forces help

civilians to safety saying they're almost in complete control of isis capital. as well as president celebrates the outcome of regional elections the country's opposition levels accusations of fraud. and in the sports news the l.a. dodgers and just two wins away from reaching their first world series in twenty nine years details coming up later that far. to europe the spanish steps the prime minister has asked for clarity after catalonia as leader failed to declare his reach and plans to secede and a letter to the central government. asked for more dialogue madrid has given him three more days to decide his son. thanks it was supposed to be a monday deadline at the castle and president's response to the drifts demands that he clarify his position on secession lacked any definitive answers in his letter to

spain's prime minister. cutlass preacher once said that the suspension of the political mandate given by the polls in october first demonstrates our firm will to find a solution and not confrontation not exactly the yes on no response required by the spanish government before it decides whether to push ahead with suspending catalonia as autonomous powers them and they're going to pretend that i know that on such an important issue we only asked for clarity to extend uncertainty we're only favor those who wish to end peaceful coexistence and to continue with the poor project the government hopes that in the following hours up until the next deadline on thursday mr persia will give the clarity that all citizens demand and the rule of law requires we can understand his preservations and confusion and that he's doing that to meet the demands of the most radical groups the spanish government is maintaining it's tough stance on mr preacher mond but it has given away just

a fraction on the question of the deadline the ball and the fact is back in the catalan government's caught with a constitutional crisis is far from over societies are getting exhausted for the public functioning and the normal running it's also affecting every day's life of people so it would be very positive for everyone if they could find a solution soon but it seems it's not going to. in madrid the head of the castle of police force just a few weeks the battle arrived at spain's national court to face charges of sedition he's accused of failing to enforce a ban on the type of first referendum a vote madrid says it was illegal under the constitution it has angered many in catalonia for whom the up arrow is a hero to the region secessionist off to his force took a much less aggressive position that the national police force they came under international criticism for their violent crackdown on voters the crisis is once

again being prolonged but there is little clarity about how this will end and which side will back down us. and many what ever the cats like government decides to do it will pay the price for holding the referendum in the first place so our jazeera barcelona in a moment will be live in catalonia barker is standing by for us for us the spanish capital madrid paul brennan is this a pull that desperately unimpressed with this idea that look you've got two months of wriggle room you've got two months to talk to us as far as they're concerned the status quo stays where it is. yeah i think the sentiment here in madrid is a degree of contented powerful they feel the weight of the law and the constitution is on their side and frankly they're not impressed by. a statement today but it wasn't unexpected that he would refuse to answer in a straight terms of yes or no as to whether he declared independence back on

october the first and so from that point of view pushing the deadline now to thursday for him to retract his independence declaration whether or not he did actually do that is perfectly normal for the for the spanish government and they are going to continue to pursue both collaborators of that referendum and indeed instigators in organizers as they are doing in the building over my shoulder right now as we heard in sonia's report the chief of the council on regional police is currently in that building over my shoulder being questioned by an investigating judge with the possibility of being sent to prison for sedition it's a penalty of fifteen years if found guilty it's most serious terms and there are two organizers of two pro independence organizers who are standing alongside him also being questioned by the same judge so it's clear that the spanish government feel that the law is on their side and they're prepared to bide their time when it gets to thursday but then they will invoke article one five five in the prospect of

becoming more and more inexorable but they. really do feel that the cards are all held by the prime minister mariano rajoy thank you need barker's in the capital boss alone on the over to you. well peter thank you in the last few minutes we've heard through a castle on media that the intention of the castle leadership on thursday on that crucial deadline is not responded to all as to whether or not firstly independence has indeed been claimed or secondly to revoke any independence claim if that is the case of course just to remind you last tuesday. took to the stand to say that independence is exactly what he was after he declared it an almost civil teeniest least seem to withdraw it suspending it he said for a period of two months to allow for crucial. to take place but as we've repeatedly heard from madrid negotiations are not on the table marianna says that these are

talks that cannot be entertained in any way right now and that the only framework for any kind of negotiations are discussed and should be within parliament within the senate itself also help me understand a little bit more about what's going on here i'm joined by alfred bosc leader of the e.r.c. policy left wing pro independent policy we're in uncharted territory aren't we we've got on the one hand mr puja on not being very clear about whether independence has actually been declared and secondly now as we've heard from media no indication that he will come back to madrid with any kind of answer on thursday what next what's going to happen now well obviously the catalan president cannot answer this second because we're. prime minister wants is to have a pretext for pressing the nuclear button and applying article one five five which

would suspend catalan rule autonomy everything so he's not going to give him the chance. he's not going to assume that guilt that mariano rajoy wants to transfer. a spain the spanish government wants to do that it's up to the spanish government and things are quite clear there was there was a vote there was a referendum and automatically the people voted yes they voted for independence so it's the people who proclaimed this it makes no sense to have the people vote for independence and then having another vote somewhere else parliament whatever which might even contradict what the people voted on everybody everybody here calls voted for independence or talk about ninety percent of the people that voted about two point two million people in a region where there are all than seven million people one of the big criticisms being levied at the independence movement the movement that you support of course is that you'll simply not just being clear enough about what independence means beyond all the sound beyond all the fury what will independence look like how are

you going to persuade voters who are undecided is the right course it is the right path well obviously the day after independence things will look pretty much the same like you see here in this square just business as usual people make in their ordinary lives but obviously that should give us some tools to make life's better to make these people lives better tools for increasing welfare for improving our hospitals our schools and that's why we're doing it and also for one very important thing which is ensuring our fundamental rights first of october when the referendum took place and you said it where there were not enough people but remember they were battering people they were punching people the police the spanish police was brutalizing the voters so obviously we didn't have the turnout we wished for but even so we had more than two million people voting and ninety percent voting yes to

independence so we want to ensure that people can vote whatever they want we want to ensure. we have a free land and that we're not better than any other nation but we're not less than any other nation and that's a fundamental thing for us ok thank you very much for your views there well as you've heard it does appear as if the leadership here in catalonia are prepared to keep their mouths shut for the time being if that is a delaying tactic then we now have to see exactly how the madrid government will respond but what we're hearing in catalonia is that even beheads if that all important deadline on thursday the leadership are determined not to move an inch. thank you. the israeli government has approved the construction of israeli settlement units in hebron the occupied west bank thirty one new units are now been approved the settlements are illegal under international law this is the first time the government has given official approval for construction in hebron in fifteen

years kerry forces from hebron. well this announcement from the israeli government approving thirty one housing units will see another illegal israeli settlement building go up within the old city of hebron and that is something that is very concerning to activists here who say that given the nature of the settlements project inside hebron where palestinians and israeli settlers live at such close proximity separated by cages by fences by barbed wire and by israeli army checkpoints and a large israeli army presence that this is going to make life inside have run that much more difficult for the palestinian residents here it is also something which you have to see in context of a wider growth in the settlement project the palestinian government says that it's increased by eighty five percent within just one year this week we're expecting to see hundreds more housing units approved either in advance of their construction or retroactively and so it is something of

a trend which is deeply concerning to palestinians who live here in the occupied west bank certainly the mayor of the palestinian this party of hebron says he will challenge it both in the international arena trying to get pressure on the israeli government and through the courts as well as submitting a challenge the israeli supreme court more civilians are fleeing eisel self declared capital rocka as the final assault to flush out the armed groups last remaining fighters continues u.s. backed syrian forces who victory is near despite fierce resistance has hashim al bara. a group of men believed to be i.c.l. fighters surrender in iraq. there are mostly syrians who handed over themselves to local officials after the deal brokered by tribal leaders. who wish that you start a new life and turned a chapter of the dark times you lived in removed those ideas that were injected into your brains and which made huge harm to islam and to our country. the deal was

not extended to foreign fighters who still remain in the city syrian democratic forces a coalition of kurdish and groups backed by the u.s. are on the offensive. they are seen here demanding i sell fighters surround but i still don't for using snipers suicide bombers and trapped buildings to block that enemies from advancing i mean. i still will be defeated so they launch attacks under the cover of the night they capabilities have diminished civilians caught up in the fighting are fleeing the area they have been trapped in iraq since i still took control of the city into thousand and fourteen the s.d.f. accuses i said of using civilians as human shields. records a big deal we were trapped for three years we tried three times to escape but

couldn't because i saw snipers shoot anyone who is leaving the city taking control of iraq is crucial for kurdish faction since the start of serious conflict the kurds have expanded their influence in the region they now control an area stretching from the north all the way to three on the border with turkey the capture of rock is a major setback for i said which is losing ground in eastern syria the armed group is now retreating besieged from everywhere by the kurds the syrian army and constantly under threat from the u.s. and russia and. its presence in syria is now approaching and has. the tie on turkish border with syria the philippines defense minister says two senior eisold in commanders have been killed in fighting in the southern city of morale we. have pity on. which he's part of the city in may his fighters were

a scorpion or bee sting and it's what we call sting jets can form in these sort of areas where air is brought down from the top of the atmosphere and it's cold dense air rushes in and it can produce very very strong winds indeed out of the ordinary invalid is what we've seen as this system has gone across parts of western on and just before we get on to our and again we've had one interesting thing ahead of this we've had some very warm air we've seen the problems you had in portugal the wildfires but another aspect of it is again a lot of dust being brought all the way up from the sahara so across the u.k. sort of western parts this morning this is the scene that greeted many people bright red sun that is dust it's a horror and dust in the atmosphere so anywhere here in the west where we get rain overnight a couple days you could well find your cars covered in red dust from the system well there's that situation now you can see the cold air pushing in that low nine five eight millibars five minute bar short of the one nine hundred eighty seven storm and as a result we've had phenomenal winds one hundred ninety one kilometers per hour is

the maximum gust we've seen such one hundred three knots plus a fast that light has obviously exposed but we've also had some extremely strong is affecting cold and it is seen a picture. the roof of the football stand there having been blown off the whole system continues to move away towards the north rapidly we're going to see gusts of wind to between one hundred one hundred and thirty kilometers per hour across northern parts republic and into northern ireland by time to get through to this time tomorrow everything across the region will quiet down until that red dust in evidence. richard many thanks still to come here on the news. break bumper harvest after years of drought but we'll tell you still skeptical about the future. but it's ridiculous for about unfair most definitely. a tax on sodas to help fight the city in one of america's largest cities loses is an emotional farewell for one of football's most loved players details in the sports.

most expensive commodities sent from heaven this time on al-jazeera. welcome back if you're just joining us welcome to the program you're watching news our live from doha we have a significant development coming to us out of kirkuk via the iraqi central government in baghdad we are being told that the iraqi forces have retaken kit cook in its entirety we are also being told by the iraqi government in baghdad that they have now raised the iraqi flag above the city just to put this together for you

we're also getting reports that a senior iraqi oil ministry official is saying in a very short time iraqi forces have regained control of all of kia cooke's oil fields and they have restarted production that's what we're being told and i do have to stress the point here this is just a claim on the part of the iraqi government in baghdad our correspondent who's been following the story for a good few weeks now is charles stratford charlie what else do we know. well that's right we're hearing the same the iraqi government and the iraqi military saying that they are in full control that all central to the cook sources that we've spoken to. the iraq the army and some of the shia militia groups also saying the same thing we understand that they are taking full control of the government building. sources telling us in that building the governor had

left the city by the time. it's also reports of a growing sense of fear among a lot of the people still left in kirkuk as we've been reporting all day thousands of families have been fleeing the city seeing peshmerga fleeing as well and statements coming out from some of the very accusing factions within it will seize of what they describe as treason and basically giving up a fight to. come as a great surprise this route to. this time yesterday cook was very much in control of the peshmerga. and also the firing has been a little relatively little of fighting. still for the. withdrawal relatively peacefully an incredible surprise. and

a great sense of just my anger one can imagine from the chaos the government that this is happening so quickly the city that they had to defend until the last man in the city that they still potentially being the very much called the future independent could be staging the little rock is the key question not solve what the kurdish peshmerga who stayed in do next i mean how do we think they might react to this. well according to our sources very few if any in the immediate in the city center. they're telling us that they are nowhere to be see them certainly we've seen a lot of patients. from the city in the last couple of hours. moving back seemingly traveling driving along some of the small fields.

on the side of kirkuk seemingly sitting position i think what's very interesting and what we have to keep an eye on is any kind of reaction amongst the peshmerga themselves when there are all these claims among them being my actions. being came to some sort of agreement with iraq the army. positions we are beginning to we can all to clarify this but we are beginning to see some reports of minute clashes between factions to say we can't stand that i think. it's run out in kirkuk by the calm as such as such a surprise there are going to be a lot of questions asked by the kurdish regional government as to how exactly. keep us posted many thanks. if an army has killed twenty four gunmen who attacked

checkpoints in the sinai peninsula seven soldiers were also killed and thirty seven others were injured in the battle the gun battle that happened in iraq close to the border with gaza the military says since that seems to be armed men escaped. to venezuela where the electoral board has announced the president socialist policy has won most of the governorships in regional elections nicolas maduro is hailing the result as an emphatic victory for the outcome the spot thank you zation is a fraud from the opposition to reason the latest from caracas. shock and does believe at the opposition headquarters in that. the results were not what people here expected and that's why the leadership decided to question them and. they know they are not the majority and the country as well as the whole world knows it we don't recognize the results given by delectable council because there were violations during the process but as women's could not vote freely. on sunday

venezuelans headed to the polls to elect twenty three new governors in the middle of one of the country's worst political and economic crisis but the hardships people here are going through did not deliver and the opposition won in just six states with the government winning the rest. to all writers men and women i'd like to commend and congratulate you we had an unexpected turnout for a regional election sixty one point fourteen percent. the opposition is crying foul saying some of their candidates were barred from running for office and the electorate council relocated more than two hundred polling stations just hours before the election but at the presidential palace in leader flotus president said democracy won. one more victory under our belt a victory of democracy the way forward is not to slash and burn it is not violence

the way forward is not economic work to make people angry at the prices the way forward is not. it is to debate ideas and this is a sovereign right there is no king there's only one sovereign here and that is the people but the opposition insists that fraud is the only explanation for sunday's results the opposition is also asking for a full vote recount and they're asking their supporters and candidates to begin a series of actions on the streets once again to pressure the government into an audit of the electoral process and audit they hope will prove them right. austria's conservative leader sebastian kurtz has claimed victory in that country's general election at just thirty one he's now the world's youngest leader his people's party won more than thirty one percent of the vote but he will need to form a coalition government the outcome of sunday's election marks

a shift to the right in austrian politics. kenya's opposition coalition says it will continue protesting for electoral change despite a government ban thousands of people came out to hear the opposition leader raila odinga speaking in mombasa his supporters say they are prepared to continue protest against the electoral commission until its reform and a rerun of august presidential election is set for october the twenty sixth but there is confusion as to whether the vote will happen after pulled out after a long road several countries in southern africa are enjoying bumper harvest zambia is even exporting excess maize but poor farmers remain vulnerable to unpredictable weather patterns his harem a task. list of this maze is the last of her if the rains come late this season or if there is another drought her family will be in trouble it won't be enough if i can't get a job i won't be able to buy for if the maze runs out the united nations estimates

that small scale farmers grow about eighty five percent of the food. and the sister say it's been a frustrating few years the drought and a pest invasion earlier this year but the four destroyed some of the maize production costs are also high. less than we used to grow even. reduced because of way. electricity prices are high. on average four hundred dollars a month for power. and despite the challenges that beah has had good crops of maize the country's staple food which it sometimes sells to other countries in africa we had a crop of maize which was estimated at over three point six million times compared to last year where we had a drought of two point six million tonnes so means that we basically have. at this moment in time but weather patterns in southern africa keep changing farmers know at some point they will be another drought despite relative political stability and

more than a decade of consistent economic growth that still has a lot of challenges the world food program says more than sixty percent of the population is poor it's also estimated forty percent of children under the age of five in zambia have stunted growth because of money the government is already more may storage facilities and also trying to encourage pharmacies like alice to grow drought resistant crops such as millet sorghum and. she's considering making the change but convincing enough people to do the same could take time. so companies in the us are breathing something of a sigh of relief after accounting chicago became the latest area to overturn a tax on fizzy drinks john hendren reports. after two months chicago's soda tax has fizzled a citizen rebellion forced cook county home of chicago to repeal the two month rule

and he announced tax on drinks with added sweetener i think it's ridiculous people are going across the border and getting it anyway and it's robbing and everybody is upset about it compared to the boston tea party when a british tax prompted american colonists to boston harbor hoping to spark the american revolution it's the latest wave of soon tax. inched in two thousand and ten by then new york mayor michael bloomberg if we are serious about fighting obesity we have to be honest about what causes it and we have to have the courage to tackle it head on the sugary drink tax movement spread across liberal down to the us from philadelphia to seattle i think a penny a penny announces and very much and if it gives back to the community and to the city i think it's a good idea but they are very very impactful and they're impactful on the people that they want them to be which are the younger kids if you're using it to raise money it's going to eventually lose its punch and its dollars but if you use it to

have an impact it usually is very impactful in the first five years so pay happily it's probably a good idea as obesity in america is rising so that's one of us a several. take away from that some pay grudgingly i think via the logic is flawed personally if you just paid it it's a penny announce that looks like sixteen cents they are marginal because you got to have but perhaps no one has paid more than bloomberg who reportedly funded a ten million dollars campaign on radio and t.v. advertisements like this one. drink soda pop they are getting a lot more than they bargained for because just one soda a day can lead to an extra ten pounds of gear and that leads to some very serious health problems but the soda tax can make a difference reducing the epidemic of childhood obesity and diabetes the money helping to support cook county hospitals and health programs and that's going to help keep our kids

a lot healthier. the movement toward drink taxes repealed in chicago defeated in santa fe new mexico has recently shown signs of going flat a victory for big soda which spent millions on ads like this this is one of the worst managed counties in all of the united states you can't budget period the better sex is ridiculous. horrible unfair most definitely less thing i mean this is not promoting healthier lifestyles it's angering people it really makes me angry it makes me angry because there's shrinks out that have zero sugar zero calories that are still affected by this tax i think people should call their commissioner to have average tax repeal find a way to balance a budget don't find a way to tax me for something. the drink tax was billed as a band that in the battle against obesity but complex rules have made that hard to follow these sodas with sugar or corn syrup text orange juice not text but some brands add sugar then they're taxed milk not taxed chocolate milk taxed this

is director of tourism for the pharaoh and she joins us now from tours shaphan why was there a need to do this. well actually we work at this it's not realistic to our steward last year we launched a campaign. because we didn't have the street view and being living in a board today marketing at this dimension that most of the time it's not even on the world map we needed to flirt with google to get them to put the kind of rights on stream to you so. after this we discussed how we should go to another. distribute or ship your project and we found out that many of our tourists would like to know some fairly and once again not a problem a problem because we didn't translate so we decided to start once again. to say that they would be interested in including our families like rich. programs

but the key thing he a criminal wrong the key thing the lovely thing is that if you do this a real person whose roots are through the telephone system a real person calls you back and talk to you on face time or skype and actually takes you through how to say the phrase perfectly well yeah that's right actually nearly one hundred five hundred volunteers and islands and it's streamed almost like a let me get the phrases into mcgrath and people are sitting or standing or whatever everywhere around the islands and trying to. answer the questions as soon as possible ok still to learn if i can in swedish say i'll meet you at ten o'clock in the village square but i'm going to try something here teach me in faro how to say we love al jazeera it's a great news channel the u.s. can just. go over the last thing on break down for me the ask.

yeah ok what was the next bit. i'm sure a link to your last no chance absolutely no chance that is just never going to work is your language like icelandic is a literal language where you have to explain what something does instead of having a shorthand a title for something say well it is a very small light which means you at least written this in the end the family the icelandic and all the other nordic languages and it's going to the don't preserve as we have been living like isolated in many many years and so it's quite similar but we do understand sometimes. not all words. would have been easier for you guys in the tourism department there are say google translate when somebody puts in i want to talk farrelly so they want to put something into fairies there was just a link on the google front page and it just took you to the service that you set up

now. yeah definitely be a lot of people are asking for that service but of course this is a more targeted in a time when everything where everything is about computers people also like to meet real people and that's why we thought we should do something about this ok great listen good luck from everyone here and thanks for coming on to being such a good sport we do appreciate your time. when. we ask the ask of the sports his for a thank you might sound right here her american football player calling capper nick has filed a lawsuit against n.f.l. team owners the former san francisco forty nine ers quarterback says he believes he remains unsigned because of owner of collusion cabernets started a national conversation about political activism by athletes in august twenty sixth when he decided to sit and then kneel during the national anthem to protest mistreatment of african-americans by police the twenty nine year old opted out of

his contract with the forty nine years at the end of last season and remains without a team for the first six weeks of the season despite a rash of injuries that have created job openings well earlier i spoke to and i thought writer samuel and asked him if he thought capper nick has a real case against the n.f.l. . i think there is no denying that he would bring quiet huge amount of media attention. but there's also you can't deny the fact that he is more talented than many callbacks currently employed in the n.f.l. whether he has a case is a more difficult thing to prove. a cynic would say that yes there is no reason why he should not be employed but in terms of actually being able to prove it in a legal sense to win this case that's going to be much more difficult to ask i don't think it was a surprising when donald trump don't really hurt the players the owners had no option really but to come out with a show supports but that show support really only last one week the following week friends you go in is told it seems to stand the denver broncos being one of the

first ones to issue statements and we will be standing for the rest of the season so really the only shows support only losses one week before the very quickly try to shoot things on the carpet. elsewhere tom brady has become the all time leader for the most career regular season wins by an n.f.l. quarterback the new england patriots twenty four to seventeen win over the new york jets on sunday earned brady a record breaking one hundred and eighty seven career victory. i think that's you know a great thing for any player and the only way to improve is to stay out there and i think the team can really count on you if you're out there practicing and playing and you know i try to. you know. ever since i started playing in sports you know it's not like i had to be out there for my team and. you know work pretty hard at it so you know wish i could play a little better today but as it is at least nice to be out there the l.a. dodgers have taken a two nothing lead in their playoff series against defending baseball the world series champions the chicago cubs justin turner had

a three run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to lead l.a. to afford a one when the dodgers are now just two wins away from reaching their first world series in twenty nine years. game three of the best of seven series takes place on tuesday in chicago. i had a ball pretty good center earlier in the game and more as a center fielder he's been taking hits away from us. every time we play him so i was just watching him hoping he was going to catch it and then when it did end up going over the fence obviously. i was fairly excited. it's you know it's a loss. the biggest i mean you could always come back to the night and point out that i had a home run but we got to do better than one run is going to be better than we sensibly we've kind of been stifled we're pretty fortunate to be in this position right now based on the number of runs we scored over last week so we just have to we have to do a better job at the plate. brazilian football star kaka has had

a sad ending to his final home game for orlando city in major league soccer the former world player of the year who has spent three years with orlando announced last week that he would not resign with the club but he could mark the occasion with a goal as orlando lost one nil to the columbus crew the thirty five year old has bagged six goals and five assists this season. it was a very emotional game so hard to play sometimes because when i was on the field a lot of things was in my mind so it was difficult to focus on the game. it's a really really special game course i wanted to. win. which does. this good bye is very good for me. a goalkeeper in indonesia is top division has died after colliding with
