united nations has called on the saudi led coalition to open old yemeni seaports as quote a matter of urgency aid groups are preparing to send much needed supplies to yemen after the coalition said it will start reopening some air and sea ports this conflict in yemen has devastated the country and one thing which doesn't always get reported is the issue of landmines there all over the place and has been a smith reports many are planted deliberately to target civilians. it's perhaps the most dangerous walk to school in the world because every step these children in yemen take could be their last to get the class they must walk through a minefield. this school or what's left of it is in time a yemeni city that is one of the major front lines in the battle for control of yemen. it's been besieged for two and a half years by huth the forces loyal to former president ali abdullah saleh they planted the mines when they controlled this area. we're asking the our thirty's to

remove these mines we've got so many students we can't control all of them and anyway they are so young and at the back of the school all the windows are shattered. much of the school was blown up by the who the fighters as they were pushed from this part of thais by a saudi led coalition that is supporting ousted president apt rubber mansell hardy the school teachers have tried to block pathways where they think there might be mines and the mining teams have made attempts to clean up the area but lots of metal debora in the soil the mine detecting equipment didn't work effectively. there are still landmines in the school grounds the demining teams weren't able to detect them all because of all the rubble around here so asking the government and humanitarian organizations to lend a hand the mines pose a direct threat to the students' lives narcan the after an estimated quarter of a million mines planted in yemen the government says one hundred thousand of them

are in ties yemen banned their use in one thousand nine hundred eight but didn't destroy its stockpiles as required by international law in the last two years those mines have killed more than six hundred yemenis and maimed another thousand bernard smith al jazeera so for all those people who need aid the deliveries for yemen are there out there waiting to leave djibouti some yemenis are in a refugee camp there a moment ago sent us this report from a book. national. they have. about one hundred people who come from particularly. a town where the conflict is happening and which is under the control of the flight as we spoke to a family of five who arrived just yesterday and they told us that they have been forced to leave because of shortages of not only fuel but

also security that they say has met life why unbearable so people feel. that if you want to stay here and incomes of. saying this people we think for the green light from the so that led coalition and just them out all the time. ready and making sure that they're ready to move assume they've got that getting life given of course is both a conflict and a humanitarian crisis which means until the foreman stops the last will only get worse have a look here we've got the recent who controls map from zero dot com in green the areas controlled by the rebels in red those loyal to president. what this tells them the blue i should say as well as al qaeda influence there is what this tells us is that the country is frank should and many key cities and ports and airports are controlled by different sides of course means a terrible humanitarian crisis exacerbated by what the world health organization is

called the worst cholera outbreak in the world particularly bad here in and around the capital and then further south as well. now zoom back out here in this area of zinjibar in the south anyway you see that dark maroon color that means forty plus people per one thousand have been affected but even the light of colors that you see on this side of the map. almost all the other populated areas that means anything between ten and forty people per one thousand have color as well so it is a countrywide problem we will talk to russia has about this now director of operations that save the children joining us via skype from yemen and we thank you for your time it must be incredibly frustrating for you and for the other charities trying to help people in yemen to find all these supplies stuck in places like djibouti and stuck all because of well bureaucracy and

a lack of diplomacy. yes i mean it's really frustrating for us it's so i mean as as you mentioned before yemen is is the largest humanitarian crisis the word is witnessing today with a cholera outbreak affecting over nine hundred thousand people including on more than fifty percent. we're trying to we were trying our best to contain this crisis to contain this outbreak and to deliver assistance and aid to to people they need but today with this blockade with the sea ports airports all closed were unable to deliver this aid or facing huge fuel crisis today where where estimating the fuel in the market in the country to be only sufficient for the next ten days or so if where if we don't have fuel to deliver those supplies to defer to deliver medical medical supplies deliver food to these families in need will be unable to

save their lives who will witness more children dying of hunger will witness more outbreak of as a disease as and of course just aggravating this already huge disaster so russia not even medication is coming through because one of of us has written in watching on facebook live has asked how by allowed at least medicine in for the color of victims and food for people affected by famine because i guess where this fear is coming from is that this is the humanitarian side it's nothing to do with the politics of yemen this is just about people on the living or dying of those absolute basics not even getting through. it really is absolutely nothing like we're calling here for aid to be delivered to the country to allow humanitarian aid humanitarian aid supplies to be delivered we're calling for humanitarian aid workers to be to be able to travel in and out of the country and for expertise to come and to deliver those this services to people in need we heard yesterday or

even before the aid in port is open and teleport is open but these are not enough this is not enough that does not rip date a port it does not replace. airports we need to allow these this ports to to be able to operate as normal we need to allow commercial shipments humanitarian cannot replace commercial shipments we're talking about twenty seven million people in need here we're talking about we're talking about over seven million people are facing like famine. if the situation continues if they don't get assistance as soon as possible we're not talking about waiting for solutions about spending days or weeks or months on negotiations table we're talking about immediate assistance that need to be delivered and reach to these people in iran and north childre russia my friends always good to talk to you and get that perspective directly from sanaa thank you here is really with some details of the

online conversation does this get does this get traction online in amongst all the other noise you see there a lot of traction but it's also very much mirroring watch we've already just discussed in the first half of the show kemal but as yemenis wait for some of the sea ports and airports reopened to allow aid into the country the main hash that we're seeing today is open access to yemen and that's been trending with around just over forty thousand tweets a key words being flagged up right now as you can see in a little bit for you our humanitarian related words like blockade siege cholera. famine medicine and supplies that's put things into perspective the conflict has left over twenty million people in need of humanitarian help and it's created the world's largest food security emergency as well as a cholera outbreak now bill all tweeted this a little earlier seven million yemenis are starving but the saudis are ramp up

a blockade sealed borders completely and prevented u.n. aid flights now the u.n. refugee agency. and also tweeted this earlier they've been warning that more civilians are seeking humanitarian aid in the capital sanaa and they can no longer meet the basic needs or even afford medical care some are even facing a threat of eviction now the u.n. children's fund shared this clip a few days back showing just the immediate impact of the conflict and how it's had how it's affected children there many are facing long term psychological problems like post-traumatic stress disorder we also heard from some yemenis inside the country they told us about some of the devastating effects the blockade has had on them yesterday today tomorrow and for months now one hundred days and thousands of yemeni civilians die every day because of the blockade and the circumstances of the war which imposed

a tragic war at yemen today all the bitter cold and gas station are closed because of the blockade located of yemen will create a large prison for citizens while the world watches seven million watches seven million yemenis are on the brink of famine. and as always we will continue to monitor all of that the latest developments coming out of yemen so if you know that please do send in your stories or pictures and your videos is the hash tag a.j. news great all messed me directly and that rain a moment now they thank you for that moving on now a draft statement on the problems in asia has been drawn up by the chair of the assy and summit in manila as the association of southeast asian nations on humanitarian relief is top of the agenda but talking about asian problems what about the exodus the range of muslims from a mom that's been ignored and some nations particularly muslim majority malaysia voiced concerns along with canada's prime minister justin trudeau who met with me

in miles leader and son suchi at summits in light of events in myanmar is routine state i've named a special envoy to the region i've asked him to engage in diplomatic efforts and identify ways in which canada can support the response of the situation in the place of the muslim minority canada will continue to support our c.n.c. humanitarian political efforts to find a sustainable and just solution to the ongoing crisis and we will also continue to work with the governments of myanmar and bangladesh to allow for the safe return of displaced people. during my excellent discussions with the state councilor we discussed the importance of the recommendations put forth in the final report of the advisory commission on the rakhine state which will help chart the path forward towards a peaceful resolution of the conflict and we discussed how canada can help achieve this goal more now from rob mcbride who is reporting from the assy on summits in manila. as he and seems to have

a problem with the reading of crisis right down to the use of the word. previous communiques of simply spoken about the crisis in northern rakhine state part of the problem is the protocol that is observed here that basically no as he and member is allowed to criticize the internal affairs of another member it means that we're not going to see any written criticisms of the me and my government in any statements but that's not to say that and sang suchi the state council hasn't faced some awkward moments here the policy of the medium our government has been openly criticised in dialogue sessions by countries such as indonesia or malaysia with their large muslim populations and also there's been criticism from further afield justin trudeau prime minister of canada says he brought up the human rights abuses in his dialogue with suchi he could also in previous summits be expected to be

supported by the americans who normally hold similar views but this is as we know a different american administration rex tillerson the us secretary of state had dialogue with and sang suchi we don't know whether he brought up human rights at all so while we're talking the army in me a man has released the results of an internal investigation and it has cleared itself of allegations of rape and murder of range of muslims and a statement posted to facebook the military said it had interviewed thousands of villagers who all backed up its denials and says it did not torture homes images instead they are blaming the violence on. within the communities hired low with more on that from capital naypyidaw. released on the myanmar commander in chief facebook page late on monday the investigation an internal investigation carried out by the military here on its actions in the. conseco over the last

couple of months has exonerated itself saying that those who carried out this operation this anti-terrorist operation as they coined it in the western recon state say that they had of themselves within the rules of engagement now this is was met by human rights activists around the world as a white washing of what took place over the last several months in rick enclave that sent over six hundred thousand range into neighboring bangladesh now it's interesting that they say you know detailed that they didn't carry out any killings murders of innocent civilians no rapes and no torching of villages again this goes directly against what i witnessed as have been saying in neighboring bangladesh those who have fled now it will be on wednesday rex tillerson the u.s. secretary of state will be visiting here neighbors or the capital will be meeting with top military officials rex tillerson already met on the sidelines of aussie on down in the philippines with on song suchi the civilian leader of this nation rex tillerson tomorrow on wednesday with meeting with the military leaders will be

interesting to hear what comes out of that if anything we really haven't heard any schedule we haven't been notified of any public statements to come out of those meetings. the latest edition of one eye when he looks at the range from the perspective of those who made it out the hundreds of thousands of ranger in camps in bangladesh not only escaping with the most harrowing of stories but now finding themselves in such squalid conditions no idea of what their future is more great in-depth reporting from the one hour one east team you find the exodus in the documentary section at al-jazeera dot com ok go to a slightly busy life will going on here we got pictures from the houses of parliament in london where they are discussing of course brags that in the box to the right that spring that one out here we're looking at a senate committee in washington on capitol hill jeff sessions the attorney general is speaking you know being questioned on all sorts of issues rusher of course the involvement of russia or in the u.s. elections his involvement or his recusing himself from those so we're going to be talking about that a little bit later on which you have returned safe for now one box over again here

around twelve thirteen overnight further east still a chance of some wintry flurries into northern parts of afghanistan maybe also into the north of pakistan is in the process of pushing away over the next couple of days for a dry here across the river and potentially some places of sunshine here and winds easing back so not so much of a problem with a lifted dust and sand that we have seen in recent days we get up to around thirty or thirty one celsius on wednesday and thursday. less sunshine into southern parts of south africa over seas and lots of very heavy showers just draining out of the tropics pushing a little further south was wet weather coming in across a good part of south africa particularly towards the eastern cape where we have cooler weather coming in. short films of hope. and inspiration. a series of

the headlines from al-jazeera don't call me and what's trending as well such as no i say sum up it's such a range of stories that i'm actively imprints welcome to soundman arabia mahama

been some of that's talking about their issues on a five year in poland. always something new and different for you to have a look at and there's that iran has quite a story which i pointed to you. have a look for yourself what's trending around as they were dot com. one of the stories in u.s. politics right now involves the race for the alabama senate seat that vote only happens in a month but the republican nominee roy moore is mired in controversy over allegations he sexually assaulted teenage girls when he was in his thirty's house majority leader mitch mcconnell has said more should stand aside in the rice more himself and show no sign that he is willing to give up. that nomination now we have actually heard about roy moore before he is a former alabama judge he was twice elected to twice removed from the alabama supreme court but he really doing his prominence in the late ninety's when he

forced to have a hand carved copy of the christian ten commandments displayed in his courtroom and then also as you'll see in this article from al-jazeera com from two thousand and three actually he displayed a two ton granite sculpture of the commandments in the state's justice building it caused huge controversy as opponents saying that the christian tenants had no place in the judicial system all of that seems to pale in comparison doesn't relate to these allegations of well some say sexual misconduct some say child molestation big discussion online and it's something that we're constantly saying and i said before you know it's a snowball effect in regards to sexual assault cases in the u.s. right now but it's a story that's been that we said covering a lot in the last couple of weeks but this time it's all about roy moore who's the main target alabama's republican nominee for the u.s. senate five women have come forward accusing him of sexual misconduct in the seventy's i had tears running down my face.

for it. gave. birth to you know me. and he said you could tell really. don't walk you know and if you tell anyone about it there's no one will ever believe you. now according to the washington post one of the the victims was as young as fourteen years old at the time of the assault but moore has denied any fault. the people of bama know me they know my character they know what i've stood for in the political world for over forty years and i can tell you without hesitation this is absolutely false i never did what she said i did i don't even know the woman i don't know anything about her i don't even know where the

restaurant years are was and if you look at this situation you'll see that because i'm eleven points ahead or can or eleven points ahead this race being just twenty eight days all this is a political maneuver and the case has caused a huge debate online many women are taking to social media in protest using the hash tag me at fourteen and they're showing how innocent they were at fourteen years old and were too young to understand what consent actually meant and on the other side of the spectrum this being this fierce support for him or who is a very popular figure within the evangelical christian community now alabama state ordered to told the washington examiner i quote look at mary and joseph she was a teenager and he was an adult and they became parents of jesus and other more defended told the charm toast ah it was forty years ago he was thirty two she was

supposedly fourteen and she's not saying that anything happened other than they kissed. now thirty seven percent of the evangelical christians polled in alabama say they're now more likely to vote for him to get that senate position but many senators are calling for him to step aside however his name is already on the ballot so that final is the decision would really be up to the voters so what do you think get in touch with us using the hash tag a.j. news great or you can message me directly on that range of all of it thanks for haleigh a continuation of the story jeff sessions who previously served in this alabama seat that roy moore is campaigning for sessions is as we told you before the live all testifying before the house judiciary committee focusing on the oversight of the justice department now remember just last month u.s. president donald trump's former campaign manager paul manful was indicted by a federal grand jury in the investigation into russia meddling in that election and

trump's a campaign george papadopoulos pleaded guilty to making false statements to the f.b.i. so it's all eyes on jeff sessions today and here is you have returned to use live on capitol hill for us she have this new testimony about the russia situation that appears to contradict what jeff sessions is said in the past how's that going to. well we're just having the opening statement of jeff sessions as we speak and we already have an idea of his his line of defense his line of defense is yes ok now we have court documents which suggest that which say that papadopoulos and another trump aide carter page told jeff sessions about their contacts with russian people purporting to be russian officials now jeff sessions has testified twice at least under oath that he had no knowledge of any contacts between trump campaign officials and russians now we have this these court documents jeff sessions has

just said in his opening statement what we can see what his his defense is going to be it was a very busy presidential campaign i met lots and lots of people you can expect me to remember everything and that's basically the gist of what he what he just said now whether that will be enough for the democrats on this committee we will have to see but certainly there are many democrats who feel that jeff sessions has urged him so and hasn't entirely forthcoming in all of his appearances in front of congress because each time he comes to congress in on previous occasions his story seems to unravel a little bit he himself said he didn't have any contacts with the russians and it was revealed that he did actually talk to the russian ambassador but he says look that wasn't actually about the campaign and now we have this those court documents which say he was told about. contacts between trump campaign officials and russians who had whether whether that i'm going to do with a governor or not we're not entirely sure but now he's saying look i had loads of conversations during the campaign and then she had almost as a sideshow or

a somewhat brain maybe said distraction you've got jeff sessions considering a special counsel on the clinton administration. ministration foundation and this is. yeah but it does it does actually the obama administration in some ways that long and questions about several issues relating to the clinton foundation and bill clinton as well and these are sort of stories that came from the right wing conspiracy minded blogosphere these are reports came from the new york times washington post a.b.c. news even some of our own former colleagues have done some reporting on these issues about well the two major issues actually the selling of us your reign human rights to a russian company while various people read various organizations from russia and elsewhere were pouring millions of dollars into the clinton foundation like the secretary of state during this deal was hillary clinton eyebrows were raised also bill clinton himself received hundreds of thousands of dollars because speaking at

drew in the time of this deal and the people who are paying who had interest in this deal going through now the clintons say look we did nothing wrong that actually state can be can't be on top of all of these sorts of deals but still there are questions about this and other question about the clinton foundation and again we've reported on al jazeera about how murky the clinton foundation is especially in haiti now there are questions about this but the idea though that a an attorney general would consider appointing a special counsel at this particularly politically charged moment but anyway in principle that an attorney general will consider special counsel for the defeated rival of the president. well that does have alarm bells ringing for many people eastley appearance is it doesn't look right that the optics are very bad even if there are questions so that's another topic that is likely to come up especially since donald trump has said in the past that he feels the d.o.j. the attorney general should be his tool should be the tool of justice in the law

but she was a tool of donald trump so this is why everything looks very murky these are the sort of questions we expect to come up in the coming hours and seems like there are always alarm bells ringing in washington these days she had pretends he thank you for that. did you know that child labor was legalized in bolivia in twenty fourteen to protect or promote it but to accept the reality and to try to regulate the conditions under which the children work it was condemned by that harm and abroad because you've got an estimated twenty percent of bolivian children hundreds of thousands of under seventeen year olds working in agriculture been mining and just on the streets. as our reporter on that from the eastern region. there are so many child workers in bolivia selling on the streets amidst heavy traffic or hidden in these markets but they've blend in with the practice appears

almost normal lydia miser is one of those striving to ensure that child labor is not excepted does not become normal. if a child wants to work cutting sugar cane like their parents when they go up that's fine but they should have the opportunity to choose because they've had an education if they want to be an architect they could be an architect we shouldn't deny them the dream of being something else she's helped create spaces like this one like children working in the santa cruz markets come to study in play come to be children and the regional government with unicef backing is building schools in rural areas where most of believe years child labor is work many of them cutting sugarcane they are mostly from migrant families in low paid and seasonal work or man now twenty started work when he was thirteen. kids in the countryside have always worked to help themselves or they work when their parents are sick so they can eat you can be difficult to get the children to school and the teachers are ms

or says to the children. sometimes we have to go and get them and bring them here for their classes it's difficult because they often don't have books or so we have to do what we can to improvise. well these children were but now they also study that every child should receive an education is the most a fundamental right is basic it is complicated here in bolivia by many things by prejudice by tradition and by poverty. poor families need the extra income their children bring in dorothy's are reluctant to in their forty's want to keep wages down the consumers demand low prices some however do see the benefits of eradicating child labor. these children will be educated they'll live in better conditions with better health schooling and food without sacrificing themselves physically but to live their lives as they should as children. it's

a message taking root in santa cruz that poverty in bolivia should not make child labor inevitable that children should be able to study in play to be children in often harsh world. santa cruz believe. child labor very much a global problem but also clearly worse in some areas the americas where daniel strummer was just reporting from has five point three percent of children involved in child labor which is obviously no good but not as bad as that say the asia pacific here with seven point four percent and look at that nearly twenty percent in africa by far the worst region in the world these numbers coming directly from a two thousand and seventeen study by the i r o the international labor organization and joining us via sari via skype from buenos aires is francesco video who is the head of solutions and innovation at the aisle oh nice to have you with

us from just your title being part of the solutions unit i mean is the idea of legalizing and trying to regulate the child labor industry if i can call it is that ever a solution in your eyes. thank you very much for having me this. is part of i mean the problem of child labor as you said before is still existing we have right now counting in the last few minutes we came out with one hundred fifty two million children still working out there in the different three its own out of seventy two mediums are working in us out the. reporting from believe is very interesting because it explained about it well the difference between the different kind of work that the children are performing so there is a difference between someone is working and buy the house that the sick patient scientists were invited to this could be cash position has no access to education the work he's doing his phone for his health and then in this case i think we can

all understand and agree that there is no space for him to work that you should be in other condition at school or an implication a training center depending on his or her expectation that i would areas of child live but what can be tolerated and that is still possible for the child to combine indication with work this is i think what is also behind the idea of. believe in the. mission age for employment one of the i don't know what it is sorry to interrupt you because you used the word yeah there are situations where it can be tolerated i wonder if the problem there is that if it is quote unquote tolerated at one level then it just becomes a slippery slope again and those who would would just take advantage of that. yes you have to be careful very careful you know when i say tolerated to make sure that the legal age of mission to employment is not in conflict with the sort of

indication of the age of compulsory education for the count if in account it is compared to go to school until fourteen or fifteen while the national legislation has to be on shiloh has to be in line with that that those children can start working at the age of fourteen or fifteen if this is not and as our work if you send us out of this with the patient they have to be all that at least they don't have to be children by the combustion of the right of the child the child is defined of someone who is below eighteen so that in that case they have to be. i think counted like levy and that this were gratify the commotion or take the. commitment of you the international community to have a domestic legislation in line with the disposal of these conventions francesco the video thank you so much for your time we do appreciate that. thank you very much child labor of course an issue we have covered extensively here on al-jazeera

earlier this year we reported as you saw in some of those pictures from lebanon the philippines and south sudan have in the. jamil hussein has been stocking shelves in this southern beirut shop for the past three years. in aleppo groups like i saw used to come and threaten us so i couldn't go to school stories such as ju missouri not uncommon among syrian refugee children across lebanon i mean my life used to be beautiful we used to go to weddings and parties and have fun then i still came to our area and ruined everything i hate them and that will i ever do is work according to a two thousand and fifteen study by the united nations children's agency unicef there are more than one thousand five hundred syrian refugee children working on the streets living on. a mosque and bryant only dive equipment when he goes down into a deep dark digging for gold children as young as ten years old would climb down

here to get into a system of tunnels because of all these dangers the government has now bad small scale mining but still young boys are risking their lives because they say they don't have any alternative so someone got injured he strained his name because a compressor fell on him when he was under water. but he still had to go deeper and look for gold. looking at these children beaten knows his different at their age instead of games in the playground he was carrying a weapon and fighting a war. would make a good long while i was thirteen when i joined the army they gave us guns to fight with them but after some time i couldn't continue the conflict and groups and they all were inside the park with children to fight some reports the kids of eleven had been recruited and taught how to use arms making a big. we are talking sport now it's eleven years

ago i was in italy when the world cup final happened and i saw a country go crazy i can't begin to imagine what it is like now. party breaking exit for italy for the first time in six years they won't be in the world cup well it's only man it did young pierre of until one has apologised for his side failing to qualify for next year's world cup in russia is the first time in six decades that the four time champions have failed to make football's biggest event. it's been described in the italian media as a national tragedy and even an apocalypse failed to reach the world cup finals for the first time since one nine hundred fifty eight has hit italy hard their beloved azeri needed to overturn a one nil deficit against sweden in the second leg of their play off in milan but a nod to frustration ended with the goal is to draw on delimitation for the fourth time champions of the world. the match did not make sense ventura had

a team that did not deserve to be on the pitch the team could have done much much better than this if he doesn't show the hunger the will to win everybody was saying that we were strong but it's not true sweden is going through and we're going home it's disgusting the world cup context is to our italy it just context just. yes absolutely apologize for the result but not for the effort we put in our desire to win but for the result absolutely yes and that's the main thing that counts i know despite having a contract until twenty twenty five and she was positioned looked instantly untenable with a wave of criticism for his failure to make the changes that would bring italy the gold i desperately needed he hangs on to his job for now. and there will need to be a new era for italian football but experienced players now were tiring mainly the

hugely respected goalkeeper. whose international career is over after an extraordinary one hundred seventy five appearances over twenty years he lifted the world cup in two thousand and six but the class of twenty seventeen does not possess that quality while sweden celebrates italy are not the only significant casualties of a brutal world cup qualifying campaign the usa chile and netherlands are among those who won't be in russia but italy had the highest expectations but always expect to mount a serious challenge for the trophy this time that we mere spectators. and he says of the sport historian he says that same year could be a moment for the italian team. ok for italian fans it will be very very difficult although the very difficult days are those days here because we are a very like that that there is

a wave of indignation of like if you can see just a italian journalist titles they speak about apocalypse but i think in one week's times we maybe have four we'll add forgot it because there are also other things more important than football but when they will be the work up it will be like a tough moment as well anyway is also a big opportunity because italian football isn't prize it seems since quite a lot of time i think i would say that even in two thousand and six when we won the world cup week we started our crisis because we were at the top at that moment and we didn't renovate as they did other very important football team i think there is . an italian word that that we use that is just and. that. in english i think we can translate with gerontocracy they come from the greek and

blocked up and it's like a society that is ruled by by older people and italian football more or less as i say old italian societies led by by old people the president of the time federation the seventy four the coach or the jim bittermann to a seventy nine before the gold keeper we basically keeping the word but is still thirty nine the average. age of the team was thirty one so i think there is now a windows of opportunity for for every new one. or let's see how people are reacting to italy's heartbreaking exit from the world cup and sweden's qualification first of all we have man united star slot and abramovich who has retired from international football has reacted in typical star latin posted a picture of a jubilant sweden celebrating on the pitch he wrote a we are varied and well it will be interesting to see if lot and would come out of retirement to play for his

country or another tweet here we have mixed reactions on italy's it one fan said seeing him before cry last night broke my heart such a dedicated and passionate individual sad day for football or another fan has a reply to that saying not a sad day for football but instead of mourning italy's absence we should celebrate sweden's presence while this is house we display is celebrated at the end of that a mad to take a look at this video the players sprinted over to the sidelines and crushed a television broadcast they ended up destroying the best the presenter were using dancing and celebrating on live t.v. . well be that more at eight hundred g.m.t. but for now i'll hand you back. with a thank you for that just before we go just want to advise you of something that is happening in paris right now. jim brown i'm sorry jim brown brasil this is

lebanon's foreign minister he's actually in paris this is the second stop of the european to of the reason obviously trying to rally a bit of support for some stability in lebanon given that prime minister saad hariri has resigned or at least tried to resign when he was in saudi arabia now we've also had a tweet from south hariri earlier today who is seemed to say well look everything's actually ok and i'm going to be back in lebanon in a few days but the fact that the foreign minister has had to go to europe and try to find a bit of support there suggests that not all is well and i think it's going to be very interesting indeed when prime minister still prime minister hariri does make his way back to beirut so we keep an eye on that news conference in many interesting lines that do come out of it will be brought to you by our team in london in the next hour meanwhile a reminder of how to get in touch with us hash tag twitter facebook and whatsapp
