it's not only how they play that's different it's where they play as well far away from their traditional venues for classical music instead here at a place called the monarch contemporary it used to be an industrial warehouse it's been converted into a modern space for music art and culture. all of the musicians are accomplished in their own right and have played in famous menus in front of big crowds but most like japanese violinist aiko kano say they like the more intimate surroundings i absolutely love it because it's the concert like experience should be like energy exchange between a form us and audience and then unfortunately in a big call it's like you're up there and then they're up here so it's very much

this. big music lovers to classical work a strict traditions in a tradition setting. rose on do. you see city. let's get all the day sports news. in doha for us. thank you so much julie well game one of the world series gets under way in just a few hours time the l.a. dodgers hosting the houston astros this is houston's first appearance in a world series since two thousand and five on vacation they were swept by the chicago white sox for nothing the dodgers are the slight favorites but this is the first time they've reached the world seriousness nine hundred ninety eight. now baseball may have its home in the u.s. but it's also flourishing outside its heartland the netherlands are twenty two time european champions and two finishes just behind the traditional powers at the world

baseball classic suggests that the dutch game is on the rise poorest reports from the netherlands. most always in baseball maybe on the world series but in this small town there amsterdam the focus is firmly on the future. the netherlands is a successful outpost of this all-american sport the national team has a hard core of holland born players boosted by talent from dutch caribbean islands like curacao where baseball is in the blood we represent the netherlands but also we represent curacao i think. i have it as a mixed feelings because my dream was always going to the major leagues since i didn't make it i started thinking playing with the national team here and i've been going into the olympics up with a world championship. i never dreamed of playing so you don't have only to make it to the major leagues to live out of baseball but you can play for the national team

here and also megan and i would like the loss of a limb pick baseball after two thousand and eight was a blow to countries like the netherlands it's reinstatement is a big chance for them to step up. now baseball isn't and i just sports in the netherlands but they do have major league is in the national team the dutch have all site batted well above their average with two fourth place finishes and at the world baseball classic now in the sport back in the olympics they're hoping they can hit even higher heights at twenty twenty. the dutch may have the best chance in their history of a medal in japan with the pedigree of players like ken lee young son currently playing in the world series with the l.a. dodgers but this is a team that has learned to slug it out without stars. never known as we all can that we all get along. with each other for such a long time is feels like just being with the boys and all those guys are very

excited to play in the olympics as well and i feel we have a good team to make it happen and i think we can go a long ways in the olympics and transfer medal i will say for sure. not many ambitious teams would answer no to that question but performances suggest that for the dutch it may be more than just hits and hope. paul reese al-jazeera who fought in the netherlands now italian police are investigating allegations of anti semitic behavior by lats founds supporters of the rome club are accused of defacing their own stadium with anti semitic refeed see that says club president has responded by visiting rome's main synagogue stickers of holocaust victims and frank wearing the shirts of their rivals also found at the stadium the italian football federation is set a passage from frank's diary will be read before all league matches this week. latvia will promote an annual initiative by organizing for two hundred young like fans to

make a trip to. the no one to get the chapter of history which should be a warning for the future well joining us now from brighton in the u.k. is mark deutsch he's the author of the book football it's how i also director of the anti discrimination division of football supporters in europe mark thanks sir for joining us could you explain the concepts to our viewers whereby sections of support would consider this sort of behavior as being ok. i think is a good way your football fans are a good way of understanding how groups form because what you get is you know you identify yourself by who you are not and in italy and in other parts of europe in the world sometimes our ideological politics kick in there and sometimes it's about culture by saying we are not jewish we're also saying who we are with say they're italian they're saying that they're more nationalistic and last year has a particular interesting fan base. there's a small group there

a duty believe who have connections to far right politics nationalistic politics and there is a connection then to instruments of politics about say we are anti semitic but it's also historically linked with roma being seen as the club of the working class in the city and having connections to the local jewish population so it's about saying we're not roma we are different from the people of the city. what have you made of the clubs and the leagues response to this to this latest incident. now there was really surprising about this is just what the club has done in particular which is to of credibility to take on a couple of players into the local cigarettes and dogs and talking to the local people and engaging with those communities there is really symbolic and very very important and i think what's also important and i think is

a really good example of best practice is where they've said they will take some young fans to auschwitz this is something that's been done in germany dorman for example regularly take young people on education trips but what i would also recommend they do is they connect it to the local population because what doormen do is they link the nazi journals and dortmund to auschwitz so what they're showing is logical consequence consequence of if you treat someone and victimize and demonize the other than that the consequences could be something quite catastrophic like the holocaust is it a concern that the presidency of the italian football federation is a man who has actually served a ban for the making racist comments well i think this is something quite indicative of i don't think the english f.a. can really say that either. there is structural racism and the semitism of a lot of organizations and i think it's about getting those people within the

organizations understanding what it means to victimize and to demonize the other vecchio famously before he became president of the fiji t. said that made a fictitious fictitious african player and called him a banana rita again drawing on those symbolic of the ring of he's not italian he's he's somehow different and. challenge challenging this is always very difficult but what has been interested is that they've suggested reading out passages from. diary again using education to say this is what happened this is why we fight discrimination thank you so much mark george there joining us from brighton in the u.k. thanks for that insight. now the flame for the twenty eight games has been lit in the birthplace of the ancient olympics and organizes will be hoping it fires up a bit of interest in the events only twenty percent of tickets available to the public have been sold so far the torch relay will culminate at the opening ceremony

n.p.r. shang that's in february of next year. ok there is a sports looking for now let's get back to julie in london and. will be here in just a second with much more of my days and the meantime thanks for your company. hyperfocus it oh is it allison when they're on line we were in hurricane winds for almost like thirty six hours these are the things that new u.k.

has to address or if you join us on sat i'm a member of the ku klux klan but we struck up a relationship this is a dialogue tweet us with hostile intent stream and one of their pitches might make the next shot join the colobus conversation at this time on al-jazeera a new television station in afghanistan is turning the focus on women it's on t.v. they are on camera in the guest chair and in the control room the founder of zone t.v. says this project couldn't wait this theme is for those mothers some bosis than those wifes living in afghanistan and is always talking about their rights but they didn't see anything in a nation where education was forbidden for girls as recently as two thousand and one and network just for women is a mark of progress there's also a very real element of danger of course we are threatened but because just sit in the corner of our homes we have to go forward and develop ourselves and help bring peace and stability to our country. provoking debate the corporate tax have not

hard job growth on the barack obama the old way only do that enough not to tackling the tough issues restrictions on media freedom of the tree killings torture maybe you giving the wrong didn't give me crap challenging the established line every single one of the three and a half thousand people who was killed with a drug dealer yes how do we know that you didn't try them didn't prosecute the putin child to show that one saw a joint that he has son for up front at this time on al-jazeera. the u.n. secretary general arrives in central african republic amid a fragile security situation and allegations of sexual violence by un peacekeepers . hello i'm suitors and this is al jazeera live from london also coming up the french

and egyptian leaders meet in paris in a move much criticized by human rights groups but macron insists it's not his place to lecture. the u.s. president gets in another war of words on twitter this time blasting a republican senator who accused him of being untruthful. and bringing music to the masses the american orchestra all right now. we begin in central african republic where u.n. chief antonio guitarist's has arrived in a bid to your attention to the front security situation thousands of people have lost their lives and half a million have been displaced in violence between muslim and christian groups which

the u.n. says house a potential descend to genocide during his four day trip the u.n. chief is also expected to meet victims of sexual abuse by u.n. peacekeepers in an effort to address damaging allegations well let's go live to nicholas hacker who is in the capital bangui and nic us from our understand the secretary general is talking about ramping up the number of u.n. peacekeepers despite this scandal. that's right he wants more troops on the ground you know the u.n. mission here called we knew their budget is up for renewal it will be will be a meeting of the security council united. it's a pretty council later on in november so. his arrival here in central african republic is not only to show to people here that the international community cares about this country but also alerts the international community. to our country

cutting funding in peacekeeping operation and the united states has been drastically cutting un peacekeeping. funding. to show donors that there's a real risk of a genocide happening in this country like the un a chief has mentioned last week talked about what he believes as the start of and that cleansing through they are parts of this country the size of austria there are held by rebel militia groups the only people here who could do something about it the united nations peacekeeping force twelve thousand men and. nine hundred extra men that want to ensure the stability of the country just. peacekeeper to react quickly in order to protect civilians that are being attacked now human rights organizations accuse a peacekeeping force operating here of. their mandate to protect people and

abusing sexually young girls and young boys they're also accusing the french troops that were here from two thousand and thirteen to two thousand and sixteen doing much the same. the victims of this abuse take a look at this report. where. it was thirteen years old when her family took refuge by french military camp to escape the violence in her neighborhood. one of the soldiers to ask her to fetch some water inside the tent thinking she was safe she did as he asked two things soldiers grabbed me they forced themselves inside of me i screamed they strangled me and covered my mouth when they would die and they let me go. human rights organizations believe several children both boys and girls were raped by french soldiers who were there to protect them some were forced to have sex with dogs and even took pictures of the act france opened an

investigation but prosecutors dropped the cases saying there was not enough evidence to charge the soldiers involved the french troops left in late two thousand and sixteen since the violence and the displacement of people has intensified it's left to the united nations peacekeepers alone to bring back stability to this country with one mandate protecting the civilian population. but a un investigation revealed that some peacekeepers in central african republic are violating their mandate and sexually abusing girls daniela not her real name says she was gang raped by three congolese peacekeepers in june. i don't feel good i feel guilty i'm scared to talk about it i don't trust them anymore. human rights groups fear there are many cases of sexual abuse by soldiers that go unreported. the new secretary general says he has zero tolerance for abuse the u.n. is investigating cases and putting measures in place to prevent this from happening

again but so far no one has been arrested or charged. if countries old denies ations that claim to defend human rights and rights of women on able to bring justice the miss will bring irreversible damage and may break the trust people have in these organizations. there's some comfort from her father it's not your fault you're not to blame he says we love you some day we will get justice. now both parents and parents were too scared to go to the police station to lodge a complaint in fact today's parents told me it was useless the justice system here isn't operating at all now the french have launched an investigation as i mentioned in this report but some of the lawyers i speak to were baffled in the way the prosecutors. did this investigation three investigators from paris came to bank

they lock themselves up with these young children interrogated them with one translator the lawyer of the young girl was not present when a lawyer here was astonished that there wasn't more care put in in treating cases that involve children she was telling me that this was out in a french child abuse by african soldiers in paris with the world we are and also what kind of justice process would there be there clearly is a double standard here and the united nations are trying to address this issue of sexual abuse because it keeps coming up again and again amnesty just last month revealed that there was another case of abuse of rape by un peacekeeping troops from countries from mauritania now an investigation has been launched mauritanian

investigators are here in baghdad to try to find a solution or try to find a. what exactly happened if you try to prosecute those that are involved but so far no one has been charged you know we have to bear in mind is that you increase in troops operating in central african republic have immunity so it's up to the countries that are contributing their soldiers to and and and prosecute those that are involved and tell you the jurors said that he has zero tolerance when it comes to sexual abuse and many people here are waiting that he put his word through many thanks nicholas there with a very disturbing picture in central african republic. egypt's president has met his french counterpart in paris where the two pledged to

strengthen economic and military ties emanuel macron has faced calls from rights groups to raise allegations of torture and political repression in egypt on insisted it isn't his place to lecture and of a leader david chase reports from paris. the egyptian and french president spent two hours talking over lunch at the lease a palace but lessons on human rights were not on the menu the fight against terrorism was the main course aides did say though individual cases of imprisoned activists were raised during the course of a private discussion between the two leaders but both men were challenged on human rights in egypt when it came to the press conference. i believe in the sovereignty of states and so in the same way that i want to accept lessons from any other leader on the heart to govern my country i do not give lessons to others. and must lead them digits some people refuse all violent practices dictatorship and

disrespect for human rights but i'm responsible for a hundred million egyptian citizens in this unstable context which i'm talking about extremist ideology won't accept living with others in peace but it is very important to know that we do not make use of torture practices. why the. liberation of paris and they are creating. radicalizing for. egypt is the biggest market in the middle east for france's weapons industry but some analysts believe it's the wrong approach to bring back stability to the region. if we can fear that in the short term.
