were killed and six injured in the attack on the intercontinental hotel hundred others have been rescued security forces killed at least two attackers security analyst says the hotel is usually heavily guarded. security has been very tight around the hotel and inside the hotel you have to go through at least two checkpoints before entering the main lobby where one checkpoint gives you. the full body search and then just ahead of entering into the main lobby one has to go through the again a comprehensive body check so security situation cuties pretty tight even the i don't do hotel area up to five hundred meters have been cleared for security reasons i mean it's it's barred and nobody is allowed around the area which which used to be a picnic area nobody is allowed just because of the summer two thousand and eleven attacks they have really taken the security so the question really is that how can

such sophisticated attack can take place and the rumors around it is that there must be some sort of support for the attackers i do always looking at the security arrangements around don't get inside or tell it's pretty impossible to to enter. into the premises which so much of ammunitions and arms tacky has begun an arrant ground offensive in the african region in northern syria as an enclave for syrian kaddish why peachey fighters who are backed by the u.s. like b.g. says have killed at least six people a contentious u.s. spending bill will be up for another photo monday friday the senate failed to agree on the legislation forcing a government shutdown republicans and democrats and blaming each other for the deadlock mike hanna reports. house democratic minority leader nancy pelosi was the monger thousands of people protesting near the white house her presence at the moment no longer needed on capitol hill when to go see

a sort of new age guru of high tech. bill gates the richest man in the world a relentless achiever fueled by dreams of greatness. to supernovas who synergy and rivalry led to the creation of a binary system with a friendly i don't think they called each others say no it's my birthday happy birthday i don't think it was that kind of relationship and microsoft's just you know that it's mcdonald's the only thing they had in common was having dropped out of school to pursue their vision of you dreams though they never worked in the same company they created an industry together and we have a hippie editor. gates and jobs the mightiest jewel of the tech industry has ever known the epic battle

between mac and p.c. jobs the hippie and gates the geek literally dictated the future of the computer. in the seventy's steve jobs and bill gates are still adolescents video games are just starting to appear. computers still are enormous machines super computers that only the largest companies can afford a market donated by the american multinational i.b.m. . a native of seattle and son of a well family bill gates enjoys creating computer programs and software during his high school and university days with his friend paul allen. bill gates and paul allen they were after harvard and at a computer store at the bookstore in harvard square there was a magazine popular electronics january one thousand seventy five and it had

a picture of the out air on the cover that was the gun that was fired the start of the race for them the all to all the dinosaur of posts in the computer who's a rudimentary tool a mix of total switches and flashing lights it is reborn thanks to bill gates and paul island by creating a programming language for the ultima called basic they provide it with intelligence. level lucia knowing. the languages thing was what they were passionate about bill gates and paul allen's goal in one hundred seventy five was to dominate the languages business on personal computers that's why they left harvard immediately afterwards in april nine hundred seventy five gates and allen start their company microsoft the pope this is to sell basic but above all to develop new software for future computers also in one thousand nine hundred eighty five in palo alto california another do you steve jobs and steve wozniak high

school students who are fans of this new technology also discover the ultimate h. the start of an epic journey. steve was now he looked at that beltre for him this was not elegant. too many chips the thing was too big so immediately what was was doing this head was saying i can design a computer all on one board this would be the one was in jokes of the first to succeed in putting all of the components that make a computer hooked onto a single board power supply keyboard and memory all connected to screen the two friends had just invented the personal computer making out the one was purely was his idea and it was purely his design but once he showed it to his good friend steve jobs steve is the marketing person that you see. we can make money.

but for now the apple one is being manufactured in the jobs family garage. i'm pretty much the only person who worked in the car eyes at least on the apple line. steve jobs was on the phone all the time he was in the kitchen on the phone i was in the garage testing up on boards one year after the founding of microsoft the apple computer companies established in april nine hundred seventy six microsoft and apple the two pillars of the computer revolution they both. of believed computers were not just important but crucial. and. and yet they had a very different way of going after it jobs was coming from hardware and and gates was coming at it from software and that was so they came at it from two

different directions but they both. were very strong minded men who believed they were they were changing the world. while bill gates continues to develop his basic the silicon valley do you will push ahead steve wozniak develops the apple two while steve jobs looks at investors so that he can grow his young company. impressed by jobs angel investor mike market invests two hundred fifty thousand dollars in apple which expands and moves to cupertino where its headquarters are still located today. the how many calculators you ought to marry and you have to use the automatic bank telling machines short so life is already seducing you into learning the stuff and it's certainly not an eight nine hundred eighty four ish biz vision at all it's

just going to be very gradual and very human in will seduce you into learning how to use jobs and was unveiled their new computer in the spring of one thousand nine hundred seventy seven at the computer fair in san francisco the apple two is a smash hit. the apple two was a huge that it was actually really the first usable personal computer the apple two always you know i always thought it was magical because you could do almost anything you thought of if he were creative enough the apple to the first personal computer designed for the general public the sales are phenomenal it in bodies the computer revolution but it has a serious handicap and the person who has the solution is bill gates was the acro version of basic but it wasn't. completely up to date that was a certain aspect of it that wasn't in there so they began looking around for

another version of basic that ran on that ship that the apple two used and microsoft was a company that had it so they got in touch with bill gates. with basic microsoft supplies with the apple two locks this is the first collaboration between bill gates and steve jobs but at the end of the seventy's thanks to the success of the aapl to the spotlight is on steve jobs and then in one nine hundred eighty they went public so there are all these people have stock that got very rich and it was one of the first public companies in the personal computer space where people got rich so then people turn to really paying attention what's it like to get rich it's very interesting i was worth. about over a million dollars when i was twenty three and over ten million dollars when i was twenty four and over one hundred million dollars when i was twenty five but.

especially at that point in my life it was it was not the most important thing the most important thing was the company the people the products we were making the products also the obsession of bill gates his vision of a world organized a run software. there's a lot of people who are forecasting that they'll be software stores just like there are record stores today and then they'll be thousands and thousands of those and i think i'd have to agree with that or mine of those first product was basic and that was sold to apple and that was sold to radio shock and commodore they were all customers so he already was doing business with sort of everybody that was trying to make personal computers he was the first person to really have the idea of a software company separately from a hardware company and that maybe the software company was going to create more value the hard work company apple was the big elephant you know bill gates was the

mouse so bill gates being that position he was a scheming you know strategic guy and he managed to work his company up despite the fact that the giants of the personal computer business apple and to some extent in i.b.m. were giants and he had to get his software on to them in order to grow his company . i.b.m. the computer hardware giant soon entered the new personal computer market but computers and nothing without software so i.b.m. known as big blue turns to bill gates who seizes the opportunity and in one thousand nine hundred eighty signs of a lucrative contract with i.b.m. his new computer operating system would run on all i.b.m. p.c. and ms dos is the backbone of the p.c. and it makes the computer easier to use. the smartest thing he did

maybe the smartest thing he ever did. computer business was that he got i.b.m. to sign a deal that gave him a one time payment. but allow him to license it other people might clone i.b.m. p.c. i.b.m. did not really think anybody else was in a successfully clone their p.c. so they didn't care it's bill gates's must have strong in addition to his contract with i.b.m. he retains the right to sell his computer operating system to any of big blue's competitors bingo with dos gates sets the software standard for the entire p.c. industry i'd say within six months of doing the i.b.m. deal. everybody in silicon valley knew about microsoft the.

in the early eighties steve jobs and bill gates are still under thirty two key players in a rapidly expanding industry meteoric success stories for two very different personalities. robert cringely knew both men well he worked with gates and jobs starting in the late seventy's a former staff member at apple he switched to journalism and for more than thirty years has written about their rivalry with bill was always about the money with steve it was never about the money and money is nice but it was never about them i am so that that made them black and white you know up the dow up the whole they were there very very different people i hired steve jobs at atari when i think hughes ninety. he was very sure of himself and was quick to judge whether he thought you were smart or dumb and

if he thought you were dumb he was very dismissive even if you were his supervisor he he was very good at knowing what he wanted and he would just steamroll you into doing it and he definitely relied on his instincts a lot he relied on his gut he talked about that all the time and that's a certain type of spiritual dimension of being into being you know we had read books about for instance gordon chief a famous russian spiritual master who was always talking about integration and the horror of this which means using all your faculties which means using your third eye of vision. in the seventies like many of the hippies at the time steve jobs and his friends daniel cost could leave to go to india the trip is a rite of passage a search for spiritual wisdom. we were looking for

a wise man who had secrets of knowledge for us. nothing really much happened to us we did not find the guru we hoped we would find. steve would talk about all this. spiritual stuff and yet he could be a cool person you know he he he had a real troubles with intimacy he couldn't allow himself to get close to people. i don't know why you know he loved the idea of spiritual ism but to live it was hard for him. and bill is just geeky et al his he he's just a very nerdy guy and as such in especially his early years he had problems

communicating and being understood and his family didn't know what to do with them and he found his niche in business and technology and succeeding just on the basis of brainpower steve jobs and much better marketeer them than bill gates was but he was not really that technical he was not a technical. code writer bill gates could write code and write good code bill just different he lead with the data and with the inside in the technology any idea where steve led with you know what's it feel like to look like you know so. much more technical much more marketing where we are one. in one recent one.

was. in one thousand nine hundred forty jobs the king of marketing unleashes a groundbreaking advertising campaign this is to promote his newest creation the legendary macintosh a rampart against the are well the in world of the giant i.b.m. after the macintosh nothing would ever be the same again simpler operating features new design the most appears and the graphics interface those little windows that make life so much easier these innovations combined with software developed by microsoft like excel and word make the mag an overwhelming success in fact bill gates becomes a key figure in promoting the mac for years now it's a great machine it's a step forward in terms of the way users graphics and the speed of. business

machine that a lot of people are going to be able to afford that's a very very useful machine there was a lot of collaboration on the market there was microsoft drugs really great. things for the for the mug you know excel came out first on the map the atmosphere was fine when he came i remember the first couple times remember that we were not competitors at all at that point they were our allies and helping making the macintosh happen so we got along very well with them they were similar to us in many ways. brought them to the macintosh software dating game. software c.e.o.'s could i please ask you to introduce yourself in a power of the of the dating game hosted by jobs the contestants of the software producers who contributed to the success of the my name is bill gates i'm chairman of microsoft and during one nine hundred eighty four microsoft expects to get half

of its revenues are macintosh. behind the smiling facade steve jobs place the king and treats bill gates like a vassal for making numbers three describe your ideal relationship with apple. well i will be selling our software independently so the key thing is that apple gets a lot of consistent standard machines out there quickly i spent the whole time two days and why with bill being ignored we were treated like some crappy little it was like the most oh it was horrible we went for a walk bill and i went for a walk all the way the diamond head and back on the beach talking about how screwed we were. going to do lotus going to kill us we are so screwed so we had work processed into excel were just like we're just excel saturday extra because they were just blown his offer it. bill gates is

bitter but we tains his foresight the monks renowned graphics interface represents the future of personal computer without a qualm he makes his move you know i didn't trust bill gates you know while we were working on the macintosh ed was one of the first people apple to catch on to the fact that microsoft was cloning the macintosh they were making their own version of the macintosh operating system. i was always on the phone with a fellow who was in charge of microsoft's application software he was asking me questions about how the macintosh system software words that he didn't need to know to do what he was doing so i kind of caught on to the idea hey they're being the mac. i told steve he wasn't worried about it at all job's is in reached when he learns that microsoft is launching a new operating system windows there was a pretty strong disagreement with windows game you know then that was probably of

all of the things that are absolutely to come out was the that was the thing that upset out the most and it was a clear people so there so the lawyers. and the summit and certainly you know i'm sure upset steve the some some extent. he was very upset and his first reaction was get bill gates down here tomorrow and i thought well boy you can't use call your competitor down it might take a week or something but i was amazed or was there the very next day. i was very impressed by bill gates because there was an extremely angry steve jobs in there and there are maybe eight or ten other apple people but just bill from microsoft no entourage you know no one there with angry steve jobs pouring down them just yelling at him you trade us how can you how can you be trained

and bill gates as cool as can be said back well steve that's one way of looking at it i have another way of looking at it he knew that the graphical user interface was the future of computing and so if he wanted to be to remain in you know dos was everything dos was huge but he knew that if he didn't do windows he'd be out of business. bill gates goes on the offensive job's already had a taste of this when renewing licensing for basic which he quipped apple two still cupertino is best selling computer it's the end of their collaboration no it's open warfare they had to go shish and bill held out for a extremely high price that he didn't expect to get and steve sell trapped and so he paid bill what bill asked. he overpay

for the contract extension of. the microsoft basic they made so much money from that apple contract that they devoted the excess money the money they never expected to get to creating an international business we always talk about companies plane cats it's a chess game well everybody else was playing chess bill was playing three dimensional chess he already had his move on another board already calculated from three moves on the previous board so if you look at the fact that microsoft more than half of microsoft's business is now outside of america that wouldn't have happened without apple the way. we did see increasing success job's becomes even more of a megalomaniac the world's no revolves around him he creates his own personality

cult the machine that he's he is and it literally recognizes him as its father. and a great. list in them showed it was going through. that i introduced a man who didn't make a. speed. oh i think if you talk to a lot of people on the mac team they will tell you. it was the hardest they've ever worked in their life some of them will tell you it was you know the happiest they've ever been in their life but i think all of them will tell you that is certainly one of the most intense and cherish experiences they will ever have an. idea so. you know. some of those things you are not sustainable for some people.

no peace here i mean you could see that it would give one of their banking good kind of i still in afghanistan for some taliban fighters a new call to arms for taliban leaders a threat to their authority. to see what such over it is that is often a study in all the stuff they were only love but. unprecedented access i still and the taliban at this time on al-jazeera. there is growing in a very short time to be a trusted news source wherever you are in the world he really want to know what's going on there and you can find out very quickly with no look at the news some nations prism. we are probably international everybody will learn something watching our coverage. be sure and that we can be the best international news and most trusted source of stories that people actually can't find elsewhere and that's

going to continue. i know. it's the scale election and the candidates are pulling out all the stops so i can do i make you have named him. and his gifts. out as i said in his telling me as i'm a society i don't follow vote at this time on al-jazeera. there's a problem and with the headlines on al-jazeera afghan special forces have taken control of the hotel after gunmen stormed it on saturday night at least five people

were killed and seven injured in the attack on the intercontinental hotel one hundred fifty guests have been rescued security forces killed three attackers well security analysts says the hotel is usually heavily guarded. they have really dark in the securities of the question really is that how game such sophisticated attack can take place and the rumors around is that there must be some sort of support for the attackers other wise looking at the security arrangements around or get inside or it's pretty impossible to enter. into the premises with so much ammunitions and. in other news turkey has begun an air and ground offensive in the a fleeing region in northern syria it's an enclave facility and could what p.g. fighters who are backed by the u.s. why p.g. says airstrikes have killed at least six people the u.s. senate will try again on monday to vote for a deal to fund the government politicians failed to agree on the spending bill on

a second time of the last two weeks cause bikes quads trucks. have been racing through thousands of kilometers of difficult terrain and three countries their way started in peru pass through bolivia before ending in argentina face to face continues next. a difficult leader to steve jobs described him as unapologetically pragmatic a dictator who. believed. the people being pushed into greatness. that was in part because he felt that he could only. lead i have told people at most and so why not lead the best sample so he was constantly trying to figure out who is the best

ever you know i was fired by steve jobs three times i was fired because i was kept dropping out of the best. i'm john sculley president havel in one thousand nine hundred three steve jobs lures joan scully away from pepsi cola to become c.e.o. of apple with this legendary phrase you want to keep selling sugar water all your life or do you want to come with me and change the world they start off as the perfect do you do to mediocre mac sales combined with jobs increasingly to run ical counted to the honeymoon is soon over. it came down to eventually on the board a war between john sculley and steve jobs and in the end because steve jobs had actually burned out so many people and created so much animosity and

fear about himself when the board came to a vote it was almost like the entire company voted that would they would rather not have steve jobs around anymore. tell us about your departure from that. it was very painful i'm not even sure i want to talk about it. what can i say i had the wrong guy that was stolen. and. he destroyed everything i spent ten years working for and a friend of mine who was working at apple that day the day that steve left and they were all called out of their offices and they all assembled down on the in the parking lot and sat on the curb and everything and they were. told our one of our you know our founder steve jobs is leaving the company and nobody care they're like good good we can get our work done with all of this craziness and madness and

nobody cared. for steve jobs his eviction from apple in one nine hundred eighty five it feels like the tragic end of a love story he has been robbed of his child soon afterward using his own money he creates a new company next he is going to prove to everyone that he doesn't need outpolling and will continue to revolutionize the world of computers in his own mind he was the sole genius behind apple stores but we got it right now. thanks to mr and mrs needed friends you needed people to help. and microsoft never did anything for me. but they didn't oppose next either you know bill didn't seem next as a factor. he didn't see he didn't seem next as good as being evil having the success and so he didn't have to oppose it.

first thing to look at in this product is user interface that's perhaps the most important thing about this product this is the user interface of windows two point zero of windows in the late eighty's after a basic and dos bill gates wanted his new operating system windows to become the standard system worldwide roland hansen is the man who made bill gates the software industry's number one media figure and it's also due to this marketing wizard that windows the graphics into fees which would conquer the world owes its name. we realized that the opinion really not or they weren't calling these buoys none of these right we're calling them goodies or the more they were calling them all windowing systems because they were creating windows on the screen. i said

a holy crap if these are all we're doing systems there's only one name we can be we have to be microsoft windows. well windows ninety five is so easy even a talk show host figured out. windows was an affront. to jobs windows was an insult to jobs. descent relative of mine windows in just ten years is installed in almost all computers on the market gaining planetary success with windows ninety five gates and the p.c. definitively dethrone the mac. if

you make i've grown man cry. windows was a way to move everything that he wanted to do forward it was the foundation for everything that followed. that was one of the windows ninety eight came out real revolution personal computer windows as you point out as are ninety percent of the computers around the world i mean today still is a phenomenal fact. and i don't see that changing anytime soon with the fantastic success of windows ninety five the geek from seattle becomes the monster of software and also the richest man in the world interviewed at the time by robert cringely steve jobs expresses his contempt in a few stinging words he describes what caused the break between him and his old wife the only problem of microsoft is they just have no taste they have absolutely

no taste and. that means is that i don't mean that in a small way i mean in a big way. so i guess. i am saddened not by microsoft's success i have no problem with their success they've earned their success for the most part i have a problem with the fact that they just make really third rate products their products have no spirit to them. the steve decided that. maybe he had gone too far so he called he called bill on the phone to apologize and he said he said bill. you know i saw the documentary you know i think i think maybe maybe i shouldn't have said that publicly about about having no tastes and and bill said well thank you steve you know our really want to thank you for doing that i think

you went too far and then bill said and then steve said but it's true you know you have no. i think i should've said it publicly but you know it's true and bill said steve i may have no taste but you said my whole company as though it's case. after the failure of next and by the success of his wife bill gates jobs gets back on his feet by investing in pixar a computer animation film company that would become a good mine and as usual he takes food credit for it. but when i first met ed catmull who ran the computer division of lucas film who i founded pixar with we did it together. ed showed me what they were working on and i was i was blown away in the graphics were you know years beyond anything i'd ever seen before and he told me of his dream to make the first computer animated feature

film and i bought into that dream both sort of emotionally and financially and we found a pixar it's just wrong you know it's just wrong that's the part of the marketing story that he sold about himself which is a good story but it's just wrong he's not pixar these the money of pixar he seductively narcissistic or to feel that something's just not right there but. whenever he wants to sell some boy does he do it including himself in one thousand nine hundred ninety five toy story is the first fully computer run emitted film to become a blockbuster it paves the way for pics on his continued success propelling a triumphant steve jobs to center stage once again and here's where steve did something he was really good at he grabbed the moment. and he took the company

public. based on nothing we had basically no cash. we just had this movie and then your critics it was going to be good and he took this is where he can sell something right he took that idea and sold it to pixar public became a billionaire overnight ten years after job's departure apple still hasn't recovered the company is on the verge of bankruptcy one last card to play the return of the wonder boy apple appoints jobs i see i buy since former failing company next when he came back to apple in nine hundred ninety six he was a much more mature much better you know he'd gone through a success of one company with a failure of another so he had left his youthful craziness behind it. i think is one of the greatest turnarounds in the history of any industry in any country anywhere to have a man come back to a company that was really going down very rapidly. and very bad shape and

then pull off that success that he did something half of it that that did changed and what i believe it was was that for the first time it was his money next it was his money he was losing at apple it was arthur rock's money you know it was the it was the public's money it was wall street's money it wasn't real money. i view to his return to apple steve jobs back into mind develops a new plan of action an occasion to make an amazing unknown small to his adoring public. and i'd like to announce one of our first partnerships today a very very meaningful one and that is one with microsoft. the discussions actually began because there was some. patent disputes

and rather than now i know. rather than our repeating history i'm extremely proud of both companies that they have resolved these differences in a very very professional way and i happen to have a special guest with me today via satellite downlink and if we could get him up on the stage right now. that i've done in my career below was genuinely happy when steve came by i think he recognized and felt. that losing apples as a successful company wouldn't be good for the industry and so and i think that was. that was when the relationship became closer and the relationship

stayed close bill didn't do a favor for the city what bill did was microsoft had a successful business selling macintosh applications they were making a profit selling macintosh applications if apple went out of business the back software business at microsoft would go out of business too so he had a franchise to protect. now the fact that steve jobs was sort of crawling you know made it better bill gates has another motive for coming to steve jobs eight the antitrust lawsuits pending against microsoft over its ten year windows monopoly. i'm here to share my story and answer questions about microsoft and the p.c. industry. i hope that my testimony helps the court to resolve the issues in this case that would be bill. especially after the trust battle.

really. the day to day part of the company was really. getting to be very hard on him and that. microsoft was so big and so successful that it was a time that he could move on and go on to something else. as gates steps a selling job as clients to new heights he adopts a new concept the ad campaign think different i return to his original idea of simplicity. the pain i most respect about apple is they have found a way to make complex things something and that was the thing different campaign thing different really got you the fare but then when you went to really explored.

it was there for. a brilliant marketing idea for the i mock the new home computer that gives its users the feeling of being special set apart from the standardised world of the p.c. . then he said ok i could build macintosh this forever but that would be boring so we're going to create the digital. abs strategy and we're going to create the i pod in the i phone and the touch pad and everything and they're going to connect through computers but the computer is only about. people are going to carry their computers around and that's the strategy for ninety seven ninety eight ninety nine when they came up with that so then he could do what he did best which was designed brand new products so that steve jobs is that it's like i am an alchemist i am a magician you know i am going to make this rabbit disappear i'm not just going to

make a rabbit i may disappear i want to make the buttons move around they like things that are matched. with the world steve jobs makes a new and unique contribution to our way of life a new digital wound with a single brand name that means innovation design and user friendly next don't always true of microsoft products. but the big change would is the i pod. steve song use an impi three player do a lot of them around for two years before they are gone but they were reserved for techies and so apple created an a better music player that was better because of the ease of use and then they had to find a way to feed it. and in doing so of course. they took the record

companies that claim to us you know they they they said they stole the music business from the record companies because a record company saw all this is kind of interesting but it's not going to mean anything it's nothing you know this is no big deal apple told the record companies that their goal in the first year was to sell a million music downloads. they sold a music a million music downloads in the first week. i sold one hundred million in the first year they sold a billion in the first two years and the music business has changed forever and the record companies say what is that what and where did that come from. an i pod. a phone. and an internet communicator.

an i pod. the iphone define steve jobs as a modern visionary able to satisfy every consumer need and desire. confronted with counsel perhaps he realizes his days a number no time to lose to make his mark in history apple is going to reinvent the phone he was our running a company that had gone off and done some really amazing things and was no longer in this sort of i'm in the shadow of a bill gates about the shadow of microsoft apple's become this enormously successful company apple's those more business when i really have all those more business and i phones and microsoft those in total business and then the most valuable company in the in the world now steve jobs didn't change the world steve jobs capitalized on a lot of things bill changed the world bill made software what it is today if bill

had created the standards you know him or stop us windows and was very dogmatic at making sure those standards took hold we wouldn't have the technology we have today and i'm talking globally i'm not talking of the united states globally he impacted the world in terms of what he did with software. he decided to do the same frame and form for perry. this is my last you know. and it's the middle of this year in july that i moved from being a full time employee at microsoft to working full time at the foundation be the first time since i was seventeen that i'd have my full time microsoft job far from the realm of high tech rivalry bill gates known chooses to help alleviate suffering in the world the foundation he had with his wife melinda makes this

billionaire the most generous philanthropist in history he keeps a vigilant eye on microsoft but today the dreams he no choose on linked to humanitarian causes is go down in history as the world's greatest swines was no doubt about no one come closer and so i think for anybody else whether of steve jobs or whoever your view of bill changed a little bit when you saw what a good job he was doing i mean it wasn't like some guys screwing around with rock stars and occasionally showing up at a charity fundraiser because it really focused you know like achievable goals you know white belt malaria no big deal you know things are just amazing right. what individual in the history of money has devoted twenty billion dollars to anything. no one would give bill gates so he's you know plays to win a place to win. steve never got their state never give a penny pincher i once had

a conversation with steve much later after bill gates retired from microsoft and he was doing what i thought was great stuff that trying to eradicate diseases in third world and stuff and i said well you know even though bill gates on a wrecked the technology industry for a decade or two you got to be proud of what he's doing now and steve look at me and said what do you mean distributing is ill gotten gains you know us and he wasn't ready to give him all that much credit for that. steve jobs never missed a chance to insult his old enemies like these awful commercials that made p.c. users and critics say something positive for the p.c. ok easy p.c. you are a wizard with numbers and you dress like a gentleman you see well. i guess you are a little better creative stuff thank you even though it's pleasing to my own which . maybe twice. in two

thousand and seven the two giants come face to face for the last media event pasta confrontation has at last given way to peaceful rival. first i called jobs because i thought he'd be the hardest to get and he said bill does it i will do it but we have to keep it i want to keep it on a high level i don't want to just be a fight with the greatest listener saying when you open your relationship and about eat each other what would you say would be we've kept our marriage secret for over a decade now and i work competitors in certain ways we watch the american way right the commercials and you get annoyed at each other from there i know i have to confess i like p.c. guy but yeah he's great i know you know that i want our to those you know the art of those commercials is not to be me but it's actually for the guys to like each other. on their.

p.c. guys p.c. guys great i like a lot of the. his mother loves his mother but i just i have the bills still viewed. as i have a freak and he's fascinated by you know that people say why should you let. steve treat you that way and bill didn't even know he was being treated a certain way he was just. watching this and saying who is this guy how does this work either is there an algorithm here i don't because i don't get it. with steve jobs health deteriorating bill gates paid a last visit to his longtime rival and friend it would be a bittersweet and the last chapter in a legendary june. after a lifetime of innovation steve jobs died on october the fifth two thousand and

eleven. bill gates and steve jobs high tech giants who revolutionized the way we live work and play. as earaches pros prominent figures of the twentieth century and how life will receive influence the course of history was the human revolution coming this is the way i feel castro is a fee to lease the not a communist or just you're going to this country che wanted international revolution became a point when the relationship came to an end the icons of revolution who changed the course of latin american politics. and fidel castro face to face at this time on al-jazeera. the first proper winter storm was just blown through the levant it started off

being noticed in turkey this is eastern turkey and this clearly is a sandstorm whipped up i think the sun comes from further south the syrian desert region possibly egypt and the whole lot swept east was such that iraq had a similar sort of view but twelve hours later and this is the uncurling remains of that storm producing snow on this picture in the northwest of iraq now behind it all the skies are clear the wind has drops from very cold by morning by day we should see at about eighteen in baghdad and beirut and even aleppo is up to about thirteen so much as the snow would have melted but it was a cold night and the wind has dropped however i suspect the next thing is already brewing so looks like you end up with a windy day this is come monday with the cloud already gathering and that might be windy enough for once again to pick up the sand there orange i think probably unlikely in the arabian peninsula the change to a northerly breeze means a drop in temperature and dire and abu dhabi and twenty one by day it's much warmer further west it always is so meccas up to thirty two or even thirty three degrees

now remains dreiser a good part of northern africa but you have the familiar line of writing the still there from angola across to madagascar where it's quite heavy. facing the realities growing up when did you realize that you were living in a special place the so-called secret city getting to the heart of the matter the mean maher government calls you i think all the terrorist here their story on talk to al-jazeera at this time. we headed to jerusalem bureau covered israeli palestinian affairs we covered this story with a lot of intimate knowledge we covered it with that we don't dip in and out of this story we have a presence here all the time apart from being the cameraman it's also very important to be a journalist to know the story very well before going into the fields covering the united nations and global the onus for al-jazeera english is pretty incredible this

is where talks happen and what happens there matters. news has never been more available it's a constant barrage of it with every day but the message is a simplistic you have this brain good logical rational person crazy monster and misinformation is rife dismissal and does not hold well documented accusations and evidence is part of genocide the listening post provides a critical counterpoint challenging mainstream media narratives of this time on al-jazeera. a seizure at a major kabul hotel leaves at least five people dead.
