using the hashtag it is great. with you with these great live on air and streaming online for you too facebook live and at al-jazeera dot com thank you for joining us it's been all eyes on saudi arabia today after three very big stories broke all within hours of each other and all with significant implications for the region and wider world the most recent and most important is a major shake up in the top ranks of the kingdom's government and ruling family that seen to strengthen the control of crown prince mohammed bin solomon dozens of princes ministers former ministers and business tycoons have been arrested during a sweeping anti-corruption crackdown meanwhile sondra arabia's military has shot down a long range ballistic missile fired from yemen towards the capital riyadh it came down meaning it reach further into the country than any other rocket launched from

yemen and just before all this there was a sudden resignation of lebannon saudi backed prime minister saad hariri who made the announcement from riyadh on saturday well let's begin with the anti-corruption sweep last social media producer andrew chappelle is here to explain the key figure is and the reaction andrew or business defense and media the men that were arrested on saturday night have wielded enormous power and influence in these sectors and from this long list you can see just how many of them are princes their cousins of crown prince mohammed bin salma on widely known as m.b.'s. prince al waleed bin talal is arguably the most well known he's the richest man in the arab world and has big stock holdings in companies like apple and twitter since the arrests of tweets has surfaced from resurfaced rather from donald trump where the president described it as a quote dopey prince will lead later fired back asking if trump needed another

bailout loan supporters say all one needs arrest proves the president right but critics argue that it shows trump's undue influence in the kingdom prince me to have been was also arrested he was the minister of the saudi national guard and has rubbed shoulders with many important leaders such as french president francois hollande here the former president many are also talking about how far has fallen he was once considered a contender for the saudi throne also arrested from within the saudi defense establishment of the all souls on the commander of the navy many believe that saturday's arrests will further consolidate mohammed bin solomons hold on the military moving to other significant arrests there is he as the economy the economy minister he was behind large social reforms over the past two years that were designed to reduce the country's reliance on oil and finally i'll lead all ibrahim a prominent businessman who runs the arabic satellite group n b c that acronym

stands for the middle east broadcasting center it runs t.v. channels with movies and children's programming and also owns several radio stations as well of course for all of the critics out there there are many people saying that this was a good move by m.b.'s saudis religious authority tweeting that fighting corruption is as is as important as fighting terrorism and over a million people have used an arabic hash tag has tag that translates to king fights corruption so there's certainly a lot to talk about yet not to talk about with our senior political analyst marwan bashar who joins. now on the news great first of all marwan why these eleven princes why these four standing ministers why is this really about fighting corruption if you take their word for it it's about fighting corruption unfortunately we don't have any evidence we don't know of any process we don't know of any mechanism and we certainly don't know of any institution because the un to

corruption council or commission was only starters that day all of these individuals were named. to be indicted for corruption or what have you so i think the question here is something that you want i probably spoke about it over the years a zero we've seen bashar assad's the son of hafez assad in syria we've seen the stomach of the three the son of mama look at that you've seen him on mubarak the son of hosni mubarak and all of these sons coming to take the throne on their parents their first slogan was fighting corruption this is a good way to console it it power and to be popular among people who actually are interested in finding corruption right some of the reaction that we've heard about on social media like angela saying is he saying this is a good move by m.b.a.'s is it a good move by him internally speaking in town during a what are the implications of this internet is speaking of fighting corruption as a slogan going after certain people selectively maybe letting some of them go maybe

putting some of them on notice in order to gain the loyalty of everyone who did suspect or who was a detractor of the crown prince that's probably be going to be a smart move on the part of the congress but if it's part of his ill thoughts or not well thoughts campaigns internally and externally like the war in yemen like privatization like floating parts of going on on wall street or any whatever and his flock markets like building new cities and so forth there's a lot of things he's been thinking on that don't. seem to be what's sort through or he simply getting advice from mckinsey like boys various consulting firms and speaking of that the timing and also what about the close relationship with the trumpet ministration with the u.s. we've just heard that president trump has actually had a phone conversation with king found on what is going on behind the scenes here

with the americans so i can imagine the phone call ok so i can imagine from you know slow speaking man saying you know we feel bad for federer attack in new york and so sore and then trump basically calling to say look i came to riyadh in order to sign all these contracts and to get this option finance thing off the ground so where are my billions of dollars what is the fifteen billion dollar contract for the tad's missiles where is the tens of billions of dollars of promising of investments i think from cold in order to get cash out of the saudis and he knows all too well that the crown prince of saudi arabia and his father need american help today whether it is to consolidate their power internally or whether it is to act regionally against iran in yemen in the gulf in lebanon he needs trump support a question here from a viewer. how do these changes in saudi arabia these internal changes how are they

going to impact on the rest of the region on yemen on the g.c.c. crisis what look if the crown prince can solve its power internally or gets into a whole new dark tunnel in terms of the power struggle within the kingdom their dissatisfaction with what he's doing and or the short fall short on what is needed then i think he's going to be in trouble because he's really. taken on far more than he can sure he's chewing far more than he can swallow so all in all i think he is just simply taken on a lot but i think there is synergy between what he's doing internally and what he's doing external in a very good question here from here on facebook side who ask is this an internal revolution in the making. i'm not sure i would call it evolution because look at the end of the day we still have the same king and the same crown prince meaning you know with the same system of government of executive one arche i think what's different is probably this executive one that wants to become absolute monarchy

meaning moving from relative authoritarianism to absolute will sort of thing because the end of the day what we're seeing here is not the beginning of a process of democratization or islamization or even liberalization or what we are in the process of seeing is consolidation of power and further militarization of saudi arabia in the way it's intervening in various conflicts in the neighborhood so all in all i see consolidation of power and i see a move towards further authoritarianism that will lead for the crown prince to become a king sooner than later it's certainly been a very interesting twenty four hours in the. senior political analyst thank you very much for joining us on the news great now let's move on to the missile that was fired from yemen and saudi capital city the projectile was brought down near riyadh king king holiday international airport and according to officials didn't hurt or kill anyone so why is this happened while intervened in yemen's war in march of twenty fifteen leading

a military coalition in support of the government against who the rebels have taken over much of the country there who these have since died many rockets into saudi territory the exact launch sites aren't known but it's believed most have been fired from yemen's northwest inside a province in october last year the rebels who are accused of targeting the holy city of mecca and misawa shot down just south of the city but it was the deepest strike into sound eurabia not saturday's missile launch now suggests to who these have technology that can strike and beyond. craig is an assistant professor at the defense studies department of king's college in london he says missile technology like this almost certainly comes from outside yemen. this is a tit for tat kind of balance of terror whereby the who these have said that if you strike us we will strike back and this is not going towards only against saudi arabia but also against the united arab emirates potentially and they have over the last two years really expanded their reach and they have really have increasingly

more sophisticated missile technology which is far beyond the reach of what was initially targeted so when the coalition started to that fifteen when the strikes start that the scud missile capability of there were these was relatively limited we're talking about three hundred kilometers to five hundred kilometers there is a stockpile in yemen of scott missile that has been there for more than twenty years and now they have this capability has been augmented so i think what we see here is definitely some of the technology comes from iran but it doesn't come as entire missiles it's not like the revolutionary guard of iran is shipping in time missiles into into yemen i think it's a different part and then they're being assembled in yemen and fired off and apart from that i think there are some of the capabilities also coming from north korea but again it's certain powers that really of meant the strike range of these missile of these missiles and i think we've seen this development of the last two years where they go get increasingly better a at the range and b.

at hitting the targets they want to target and there is craig in london then a sudden resignation that threatens a new political confrontation between saudi arabia and iran in eleven on the saudi backed prime minister of lebanon saad hariri made the shock announcement from riyadh on saturday saying that he was stepping down accusing iran and its lebanese ally hezbollah of trying to take over his country there is in a harder has this report from beirut. yet again lebanon is on the brink its prime minister has resigned a country not immune to political crises and its people know all too well what instability can bring. we've lived through the civil war and we know a small incident can flare up a situation if it's not resolved and there are no mature minds the country will fall apart and that is what we're will happen. so i did a how did his announcement came as a shock from the saudi capital riyadh he cited concerns for his life and blamed

iran and its lebanese ally hezbollah for meddling in arab affairs many interpreted the move as a declaration by saudi arabia of all out war against hezbollah and it cannot be isolated from the iranian saudi rivalry playing out across the region. the resignation is related to what's going on in the region there are two main powers vying for influence and lebanon is in the eye of the struggle this is not an internal lebanese matter. iran's the lebanese party has below and its allies had a powerful role in government but hezbollah is not only a political party it has an armed wing that has helped keep syrian president bashar assad's government in power iran's influence has expanded across the middle east and saudi arabia the united states and israel have all made it clear they intend to take a more aggressive stance to curb iran's power in lebanon now there is a dangerous political vacuum there can't be easily filled levanon is

a parliamentary democracy but in reality it is a consensual democracy the two rival political camps need to agree on a compromise candidate who will be able to put together a national unity government that won't be easy how did he and his allies refuse to share power with hezbollah and appointing a candidate close to hezbollah will risk isolating lebanon this isn't the first time political life in lebanon has come to an end and it isn't the first time the saudi arabian rivalry is to blame in the past the country has pulled back from the edge the question many ask is if it will be able to do so again so to. beirut now lebanon no doubt has one of the most complicated complex political systems in the world and was showing you this on al-jazeera dot com the power play is in lebanese politics who they are who they are aligned with you have the future movement a sunni majority party led by saad hariri and backed by saudi arabia you also have the free patriotic movement which is

a christian majority party led by the president michel aoun who is also a former army general and of course as a shia party has one law closely allied with iran and headed by a thon among others now let's bring in rami kuwait of the news grade he's in boston in the u.s. he's a senior fellow at the paris institute for public policy at the american university in beirut rami i think you know one thing that everyone agrees on is that when it comes to the situation in lebanon is that this is not an internal lebanese issue first of all why would sound eurabia want to lose its man why would they push me to quit the government. probably because he wasn't very effective and he didn't really achieve the goal that saudi arabia wanted him to achieve which is to somehow create a new governing coalition in lebanon that reduces hezbollah's relative power within the system that was a very difficult task and it couldn't be done also the saudis are reeling from

failed policies around the region the war in yemen is a disaster there. siege of kut that hasn't worked very well and is making them and the mirage does look a little bit ridiculous internationally not a single world serious country has supported them and now in syria they have essentially lost their bid to support the opposition to overthrow assad and so they're looking desperately for some kind of a win and the of the general feeling among most analysts will know these issues well is that they are looking to lebanon again as lebanon has been since the fifty's as a regional shock absorber and battleground but what came of the surprise here also is that just a few days ago assad hariri basically had okayed you know the. he was still prime minister and he took a defending lebanese ambassador to syria why would he then turn around just

a few days later and say he was quitting the government because of iran's interference in the regional politics. well also just last week he was receiving the senior envoy of the the leader of iran but the reason he reversed these things is because he's a politician and that's what politicians do they don't have strong principled positions and they do whatever is important in the short run and in this case had it is a weak politician he hasn't been a very successful prime minister or a leader of the sudanese eleven and even though his government and his working with the president down has allowed lebanon to make some real progress recently with the government the parliament working passing new laws new taxation system budget it ceterus and elections were planned and an election laws agreed so these are big advances for lebanon but they proved to be very brittle and again lebanon falls back into the danger zone where it is an easy place for external powers to

intervene and create chaos that the added problem of the israelis constantly yeah i was going to come so that i could hear from of the israelis pressuring lebanon. and trump over the american government now with new sanctions on his well or so this just proved to be too complex for her d.d. or the lebanese government system to handle and seems that the saudis basically told him to step down but we'll find out more soon and you alluded to this a short while ago rami a recurrent question when it comes to lebanon is how you know a country with such a fragile political situation with so many divisions didn't implode after twenty levon given its close proximity to syria and is that going to change now with this political to choice. well what we heard of it which is important in the country is after the syrians were pushed out of the lebanon the lebanese government has reasserted a lot of authority and particularly in military police and judicial affairs

internally and hezbollah has been strengthened and is working with the lebanese armed forces and they pushed back the feelie salafist samik state and others from the northeastern border so there are some positive developments inside the country as well as the incredible capacity of the lebanese to put up with incompetence and corruption and governance while at the same time getting on with the dynamism of daily life and because it's a country of immensely talented people who have the freedom to to develop their full human potential and work openly for the betterment of their country or even of just for themselves so the system is a very peculiar one it's unlike any other arab country and it's open to anybody to interfere and this is what we're seeing now the level of interference is greater than ever the weak point for the saudis if they are using lebanon to try to reduce hezbollah's power to try to weaken iran they're almost certainly going to fail as

they failed in all the other regional interventions hezbollah and iran have only gotten stronger in the last fifteen twenty years and now the russians are major players in the region and i would not be surprised to see russia suddenly stepping into lebanon and also gaining while the u.s. and the saudis lose right very good to get a force on this thank you so much for joining us on the news grid rami cory's from the american university of beirut he was joining us there from boston thank you for your time and don't forget you can send in your questions and comments for our guests for our correspondents as well on this story and out as we're covering on the news great today you can do so on facebook live facebook dot com slash a.j. news grade on twitter our handle is that english don't forget to use hash tag news grade and you can also what's up with the numbers coming up on your screen very shortly past nine seven four five a one triple one four nine. now another big story we're following this hour on the grid is about the ex cast need a con a sponge amount they and the team are covering that out of our european new center

in london. a they're funny that's right and actually we begin this story in brussels where the ousted captain i need a car has pushed him on and four of his colleagues have turned themselves into police spain issued a european arrest warrant on friday for their role in catalonia referendum on succession from madrid a spokesman for the brussels prosecutor says a judge will decide by monday morning what to do with them in compliance with the urgent procedure that restores a prosecutor's office we'll that sees an investigative judge in order to executive the european arrest reference the investigative judge can decide accordingly refusal to executive the european arest arresting the people involved releasing them and the conditions or under bail and david chaytor is following all these developments for us from brussels and david what are the options facing the judge

in this case. well first of all we've got to have the judge the investigative judge appointed but the five defendants now are in the building behind me they came in after surrendering themselves to the national police headquarters just around the corner from here and were driven through in a police van in the doorway behind me they weren't apparently in handcuffs so they're now sitting in this building waiting for this investigative judge to be appointed they will then appear with their lawyers in front of him and then after he's heard their case in any possible grounds for resisting these warrants he will make a decision as to actually what's going to happen to two to all of them and his four cabinet ministers by nine seventeen tomorrow nine seventeen on monday that's the procedure under the european arrest warrant but this whole thing could actually take up to sixty days that's sort of allowed under the new reformed european arrest

warrant where they try to streamline the extradition of suspects and in special circumstances there can be another thirty days added to that so that's three months that the cabinet ministers. have to actually fight this case but there are limited grounds for refusal of the arrest warrant and those are if they're human rights or abuse or something called double criminality that's where they actually look at what sedition means in belgium what sedition means in in madrid and they try and balance those two those two pieces of legislation and see if it is correct and broadly in agreement but sedition laws here. were probably gated way back two centuries ago whereas in the madrid they were amended in one thousand nine hundred five so that could be a much longer process than people think so i think we will be getting to see now

a very complex legal battle and it was one lawyer was telling me earlier this week that really what's on trial. here is the european arrest warrant itself so we can expect some very clear tactics from guzman's lawyer he's very experienced and this is called more than thirty years experience no doubt he'll be marshalling all those arguments with the judge the investigative judge in this building this afternoon when that meeting happens david was there an expectation that qantas put him out would turn himself in now is it a procedural thing or perhaps more strategic. that was he said all along that he was going to cooperate with the judicial authorities here in belgium the fact that he turned himself in along with his cabinet ministers at the police headquarters around the corner from here shows that he is cooperating and that will have an impact on the investigative judge he will then have to try and decide whether as

a flight risk it's very unlikely he will decide that because the everybody is cooperating with just a few disrupt ortiz here he will then set terms or release and then also set terms for their bail. but he's got to come out a decision by as i say nine seventeen on monday morning thank you very much david chaytor following all those developments for us from brussels. a car bomb has killed at least one hundred civilians including children who are trying to escape the syrian city of daraa saw one hundred forty others were wounded in the attack which i still says it was responsible for government forces announced on friday that i said been pushed out of the city which was the last major of an stronghold. of aid has more from on the turkey syria border. according to the media center of the syrian democratic forces at least a hundred people have been killed in the province of their resort this is the place that has been recently taken by a syrian democratic forces from ice and sitting american democratic forces are

questions your comments your story ideas as well all the different ways to get in touch with us on the bottom right of your screen right now don't forget to use hashtag grade on social media now papua new guinea's immigration minister has told on jazeera that australia must take up an offer to resettle refugees involved in a standoff at a former prison camp about six hundred men are refusing to leave the facility on papa new guinea's manas island which has been cut off from basic supplies since australia closed it down as andrew thomas has more from sydney. the refugees are refusing to leave what was the man i saw in prison about five days without food surviving on rain water one thing the refugees are putting their hopes on is a deal with new zealand to resettle them more than four years ago then prime minister john key offered to take one hundred fifty refugees a year off the route but australia's government has never taken up that. that's new zealanders have a right to live in australia that deal would always be seen as a back door into australia well new zealand's new center left prime minister was

asked on sunday morning whether that office still stood you of course do not have the second stance is that a strain yourself parading under and but we also cannot ignore the human face of what a strain mayor is dealing with this well said that offer is very genuine and absolutely remains on the table the the offers has been restated we thank you ceiling for my offer we're not we are not taking it up at this time for the reasons i explained earlier malcolm turnbull said he wants to work through a deal with the united states first to resettle up to twelve hundred fifty and they are refugees there only once that process is complete well they can set up office but that deal with the us is moving painfully slowly donald trump eight states and only fifty or so refugees have been resettled in the u.s. more than a year after that deal with first announced meanwhile the suffering on madison or it goes on australia's government is always say the responsibility for the refugees

lies ultimately with papa new denise government so i asked the center of the and whether she considered making it off the record its government instead would you consider making this offer directly for new guinea leaving australia out of the loop because the offer is still under. consideration by a stray so there is no need to do so but according to papen you gain either ease and need to do so immigration minister on sunday told us in a text message using. and resettling one hundred fifty refugees would be a great relief to papua new guinea and that it's a deal australia must facilitates for the bottom line is that without australia site so it doesn't look as though those refugees will be going to new zealand. so as we heard their new zealand offer to resettle refugees from madness and the australian prime minister's decision to decline that offer has set off

a big wave of criticism online the most popular tweet coming from a new zealand born actor you probably know him russell crowe he has previously called on his followers to imagine if one of the men were your brother your uncle your father your son he says what australia has done to these man these men on man s. is appalling and he's received quite a bit of abuse for these comments cross also lived in australia for many years now the age newspaper in melbourne ran this editorial cartoon on sunday cirque du soleil this showing the prime minister withdrawing support that the un refugee agency would normally offer before making them jump through a hoop of fire back our block is a spokesman for the un refugee agency he's in no doubt about who's to blame for what's going on what has created this humility in emergency and crisis it has to step forward in take responsibility and care of all those refugees and asylum seekers on them the news there hasn't been any food

distribution since last one week there's no more to health services have been shot at least one asylum seeker has a critical life threatening medical condition. refugees have already spent four years in punishing circumstances this just cannot go on australia has to take its responsibility. now as aside from the criticism much of the online discussion is about legality of the resettlement arrangements and who has responsibility so the c.e.o. of australia's asylum seeker resource center here sold out the zero that the world must take action to have created a humanitarian crisis leaving six hundred six men to perish and die in an attempt to force them out of medicine and into an even less safe transit center where they face imminent risk of death i'm calling on the international community to condemn the strength government and to call for the six hundred six man on man asylum to be

majorly evacuated to safety and of harms why it is a humanitarian crisis we need action now all others like journalist and historian mike carlton say that new zealand and papa new guinea should just sort this out themselves they are after all to independent countries earlier he told me what he thinks is motivating the australian government's policy we in australia or that is the hard line right wing historian conservative. suitably inflicting a puling cruelty upon these people of mouse it is it is shocking it is bone chilling the wealthy and supposedly civilized nation can do this to me in whose only crime has been to flee persecution or dictatorship or the horrors of war in the hope of finding a better life but our government is pandering to a deep strain of racism bigotry and xenophobia in this country some of these men

being whom we would have virtually concentration camps for five or six years many of them are suffering from illness or psychiatric trauma they get little treatment in. our neighborhood new zealand has generously offered to take one hundred fifty of them and we are refusing even that why i do not know. may the museum. leave us and i sincerely hope so because decency and humanity demand right. stream now offline and on the streets there were demonstrations this weekend in sydney and melbourne on saturday where hundreds of people marched to protest the government's treatment of those six hundred six who remain on mannus island now many of them come from places like iran iraq afghanistan and pakistan so we want to hear your thoughts on this story as well so be sure to tweet us using the hash tag it's

murderous year the government is struggling to contain the killings which are happening in every province let's take a look at the numbers mexico is on record to recall on track rather to record more than twenty four thousand murders by year's end which would be an all time record the nationwide rise in homicides peaked in june when more than two thousand two hundred people were killed the deadliest month in mexico in twenty years that's a killing every twenty minutes mexico's war on drug cartels and organized crime began ten years ago when then president calderon sent soldiers into the streets at least one hundred fifty thousand people have since been killed with thirty thousand mexicans missing the increasing homicide rate is hurting mexico's big moneymaker tourism mexico rakes in twenty billion dollars from tourists each year by a vat number is now expected to decrease in august the u.s. state department issued a warning against travel to the holiday hotspot of cancun murders they're up one

hundred sixty two percent julie galliano reports now from mexico city. but it would have turned twenty one today instead his family and friends gathered at their local church to remember him he was stabbed to death three months ago at a friend's party following an argument several men arrived and killed him in front of dozens of witnesses no one has been arrested because this threesome with her family they must pay for what they've done because they destroyed our family they destroyed all of us he had his whole life ahead of him and so many plans. i think. these kids just show up and kill each other that's so rough imagine reaching that extreme where these youths are killing each other there's a total lack of security. mexico's latest wave of violence is expected to claim over twenty four thousand lives by the end of twenty seventeen worse than at the

height of the drug war a few years ago the main reason for the unprecedented numbers say crime tracking n.g.o.s is the splintering of drug cartels into smaller more violent groups that have disrupted areas previously considered safe you look at can. we look at car. any of the high profile. mexico. and his state of the union address last month mexican president and said security continues to be his government's main priority but many here disagree arguing that his administration has persisted with failing policies of prior governments ever since the beginning of the drug war in two thousand and six mexico has made headlines both nationally and beyond in a conflict that continues to unravel but increasingly neither the government nor the private sector is speaking publicly about the worsening security situation or how to tackle it. something that worries analysts as mexico heads into an election

year crime rates tend to go up when elections come along. and another thing and many mexicans might be distracted thinking that they can change something by electing another party or another candidate or whatever and this doesn't work this way we have to change our strategy. for. parents say they won't rest until those responsible for their son's death are found and tried but ninety eight percent of such murders here go unpunished so like thousands of other mexicans they may never get the justice they seek. you go last may become another statistic in mexico's year a relentless bloodshed. al-jazeera lexical city. now our team at faultlines has traveled to mexico to investigate this cope of the unchecked criminal activity in the case of forty three students who disappeared in twenty

fifteen it's an excellent insight into the impact of the war on drugs on the country the team met with the families of those who have gone missing across mexico as they try to find out what happened to their loved ones watching on al-jazeera dot com. i touch and i just force it in just a moment and we live in new york where an unprecedented security operation is in place for the world's biggest marathon as one after another the wild to.

one of the people talking about in sports today tatiana thank you folly the wilds biggest marathon is underway in new york a huge security presence in place with the event taking place less than a week off to a deadly truck attack in the city more than fifty thousand runners from over one hundred countries are taking part and around two million spectators are lining the route thousands of additional police as well as snipers aerial surveillance teams on cement barriers are in place the curing the core eight people were killed in tuesday's attack new yorkers are resilient and you know i think they love to make statements and this is a way to make a statement to come together and show the world that you know we we don't we don't

know how i you know this is this and we can't be put down and i think i think that that's the marathon brings that out that kind of spirit having. our correspondent mike hanna joins us from the finish line in new york mike how much is a bill is the extra security has been put in place for the rice. well it is very intense indeed there's every armed police stationed in all areas along the route we understand that even knocked off national guard soldiers for example has been tripled the number of port authority police put out to the streets has been doubled and of course you've got the new york police officers stationed all over snipers on rooftops around the route and sanitation trucks out on the road with sand that act as blockers to prevent any cars from attempting to get access to the root of the race the new york city police chief carlos gomez says this is the largest security operation ever mounted on mike is it really possible to secure an entire marathon

route. forty two kilometers of over twenty six miles that has to be secured certainly the police are confident that they are but most importantly they say it's spectators lining the route that help preserve the safety of the runners as well they are keeping their eyes open they are all aware of the attack that happened within recent days and yet it appears that as we heard in those comments. a short while ago that there's very much a statement being made here in new york and people are out on the streets people will watch for anything unusual but they get to demonstrate that they will not be deterred by the attack in the last few days and just to expand on that they but i won't be deterred said there is of course a sense of unity is there of defiance from the new york public and run is. going to be very interesting in the past few days since the attack the hudson river greenway

which is the cycle track along which the economy took place it's been filled with cyclists or because runners in recent days very much the sense there that they are not going to be deterred from using the routes of new york and that's a kind of sense that. we are getting in the course of the state during the marathon in the hundreds of thousands of spectators lining the route as more than fifty thousand runners taking part appear intent on sending a signal that if tuesday's attack was intended to sow terror in the city and not to attack as failed and mike final question was made the race so popular with runners from all over the wilds. well it's very much the fact that you are running through one of the world's greatest cities all five boroughs of the city it's a great way to see the city in its entirety very exhausting way no doubt as well but it's become such a it's become such
