i want to get in one more comment because this is someone who. joined the global conversation at this time on al-jazeera ahead of the september twenty fourth national election survey showed germany satisfied with the state of their economy this is easily estonia's biggest tech success story the company was bought by microsoft in two thousand and eleven we bring you the stories the economic world we live in counting the cost at this time. hello i'm down jordan doha with a quick reminder of the top stories here on al-jazeera syrian activists released video of what they say appears to be phosphorous bombs being dropped on eastern it apparently happened in a residential area in the town of how maria eighty eight people were killed in the region on wednesday in another day of aerial bombardment politicians in the u.s.

state of florida passed laws raising the minimum age for buying rifles to twenty one comes up to seventeen people were killed in a high school shooting in the state last month the legislation forces a three day waiting period for all gun sales and allows for the arming of some school staff and gallagher has more than tallahassee. well after about eight hours of intense debate here in tallahassee the house of representatives did pass this school safety bill in that bill is now raising the minimum age for buying a rifle to twenty one that's hugely significant also making people wait for three days and perhaps most controversially arming some school staff and teachers now that will be picked up county by county in other words if some places in florida don't want to do that they won't be made to take part for those survivors of the parkland shooting of course seventeen people died three weeks ago there is a grudging acceptance that is this is a step forward and better than nothing of course what they wanted more than anything else was a complete ban on assault rifles that didn't happen this is

a house controlled by the republicans but this bill will now go before the state's governor rick scott on friday he's not expected to put up any changes his so i think for the parklane survivors this is a step in the right direction tinge with a little bit of disappointment british police say a nerve agent was used to try to merge a former russian double agent and his daughter so gay and u.s. cripple were found slumped on a park bench in salzburg on sunday both remain critically ill in hospital british prime minister to resign may has defended a red carpet welcome given to saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin soundman is on a three day trip aimed at developing economic ties between both countries the rocks and famine farming on as a lecturer in politics at cambridge university she says reason may be hoping to cement the u.k. saudi relationship. well this is a very important trip for both of them and it's highly controlled because saudi

arabia itself is trying to promote a reformed face he is the image of this dynamic new view that they're taking in the wake of the fiasco of the moguls that were all seized in the ritz as an anti corruption move on his part there apparently has been quite a bit of capital flight outside of saudi arabia so that's very important for him to be here and showing that he can command british investment and of course for post-breakfast that britain he represents very much an opportunity to show that to resubmit a can truly make a deal this amount of trade promising is emblematic of that so she is very much. invested in making the relationship cemented and seeing that it does provide a future but as a result of the very moral ambivalence that

a great number of people and we see it in the newspapers here as well have shown about the human rights issues and the yemen war she must press somehow and has certainly. said that one can only do so if one is at the table and in the room votes are being counted in sierra leone's hotly contested presidential election sixteen candidates are vying for the top job hoping to lead the country out of its economic crisis the result will be known for days but a runoff is widely expected. well some electric clocks across europe a fall in behind by about six minutes because of a political dispute between serbia and kosovo twenty five countries across europe have been affected since january after kosovo failed to generate enough electricity for an interconnected grid legally you said is obliged to step in to keep the european good stable but it hasn't because of a long running dispute between the two countries well those were the headlines the

news continues here on al-jazeera after al-jazeera world statement that sort of myself.

one day hifi and the t.v. one hundred had gone few cough cough and a mocking gaffe especially if often now in my ride to the house. i did a hell of filling in for the new taste imagine if i had a shot i always get that from the national. does to had been. the death but sick kids. and that's when. she. gets home i don't know i don't know how quickly. that helps you i'm really. glad.

that. i'm going to. have a go if i'm going ahead and center. him up a couple of bucks when i was in all. that ice and about how to see that i yes. that's and honest. and said we had another year just that first suddenness as if the one i was at had as shit. but not as it had in this i think he said it i want to live. in twenty i love it for young on many women decided to break the mold challenge stereotypes and learn to sail. it's

a world that can be dominated by men but i shot in tucson and aside made up the crew of today. and their boat were named after a constellation of stars. i don't look at them. but i don't know a lot of them. but run over them with a god not a hostile have any good to carry i could say hey i've got to go here but how to do my gun evident in the car even i would have my name to us and going to beat any that i had been very different but how one can white cotton. with the head to look at us as a little. even i was a proud and i says and that i was the. land in the. midst of i was devalued and she. had been

a comedy show. i . had if it hadn't. just been santa ana so i think. one of. the. people could be. me to get a walk so we can get that what. do you go. for. in the bottle when all the stuff.

in the minority. on both team for one mode the cut on one pot. is funded by the government and started in two thousand and eight its stated aim is to revive our month's merry time heritage promote the country internationally and quote use the power of sport to contribute to the development of the people. they're calling it but i think. that i but my mind if they don't let it go and if you have based their.

octal not a dumb to nothing. will have been a woman to look at them jana. need of them time i need to have a. problem bank can fly home and i don't want out of that interview in a column w. that. when i joined the company a year and a half ago those women would just starting to do some racing and it was just a one off opportunity but then they did so well the idea was such

a good one that it was decided we should we should let them continue they enjoyed it. it's hard work but they seem to like. having. this point here we. all. want. the same mad. men who've been out to look on and. get on the

ice the minute. the had been feeble almost effing misto at the telling me. some of the thunder we. and son i am in bed. with. jeffrey toobin and i was just sort of got out of bed and when that i thought i. feel left about all sorts. yet the but i thought. i would just work with us on what is

a book and mostly just i'm just like i want to come with you then the resume has the thoughts i would in a can a little file and slip would. have been a part of the live hit that i would miss. the young women how to pass an initial training stage in order to be accepted at home and sail. like a. model again but not. under seal but had come to look i'm. just a. kid doesn't agree why we got on with the guy a good movie and why every day when you get. there with a wife you got a good fantasy but at the end it was a matinee with a. smile and a thing and why is that i don't wear the one. of the any any local t.v. and for them to go to war in iraq and be at a hand and watch

a video grab me on the shouting about you make sure your family. gets more typical last time there was on most of us the more she was gone with all that said we it's going to make the high forwards of our. we. met. here. sharon is says progress out at sea was unfortunately affected by an untimely illness but the company offered her a job on dry land in the education center now she teaches young children about the sea and tries to inspire other young armani's to get involved in sailing. i think it would be a complete episode up. when this is. not about

a survivor or one of them it's again the elec and. then there's the how. of them. a man has over three thousand kilometers of coastline and so has always had a close relationship with the sea and not just through fishing. pearl diving goes back centuries before the common era and the ancient stretched along the arabian gulf coast beyond the strait of hormuz that separates it from. by the one thousand nine hundred twenty the centuries gulf pearls were among the most highly sought after and brought in considerable revenue. but pearl

diving was an exclusively male domain. for mr. business. and i think that having them up and get ready. to hold a whole. lot of. the heavy it was. all. this stereotype is that men go to sea to fish and that women stayed home to keep house. but some parts of our money society have always challenged that common beliefs and then wish them and they get. the ability i think a. good.

he. ought to be you. know our money in the. country to change is a question they wrestle with on an almost daily basis how to maintain traditions in the face of rapid growth and minors station and how to balance local values with outside influences. different countries adopt varying approaches as do individual families. and.

so we. could all. i believe that you hate the livest you know one of these who are familiar with you know live trying to write up the numbers.

and what. kind of a selfless lot of monthly and motherhood i'm only. trying to build a landmark there is a little arsenal giving forty get on a shuttle a two man and a start up back in handy now and it's just one unlucky so i got a sudden hate that hell about it now hello you know why it has. got out of whack it down and i'm sure you know the how. you get it but. there is a girl in the lot that's what they are you know how the little sleep because in the last one was here a shot at a game how good it was a good ten and a half good yet you had built your back which will whittle the hell you could either my leg because i got lucky it perhaps the bad of you move a little one well if you get it good television or you who are you are your nose in

a muddle but. it can it does well with a final root. i think the reaction has been great because i think the most important thing that we have shown people with very very. women's program and that's not just the race team but all all the program is you can be a very. good woman in a traditional sense you know you can you can be. a wife you can be your daughter you can be a mother but you can also have this adventure you can also learn to sail and teach other people than inspire people and i think because we've shown that you can do both. you can still you can still be a good i'm only a woman and also a very talented sailor going off around the world showing no showing everybody how

how strong our money people are. the young women and their families had to think carefully about the effect their certainly would have on family life and whether it might affect their marriage prospects or responsibilities in the future. to let us know how but i thought up a clip of a silent miscall and then. as work with what i want to have the. results have been a man hour this claim was that it gave us this a part of what he. was scheuer. and and good to validly hemel my having. got. one bad day off. ahead. and when any within. saw what has happened and it was very true to hello it up and. role

models are important in sport especially for young people. the most successful sportswoman in a man has been the tennis player fatme and the panty and then the kids and i took up one of her new year and they were them up with its manila's that within a human a human can within her maybe even a normal reality rigby ac with me that's when my salary of a kid in that when i had one nearly forgotten the land. here you know so i thought i set up and there how. someone who didn't how was right now and then if some fun. assure us enough of my number on him. i meant to. dawn when a girl is a lucky woman got away with herself one where. and how often i had critical had run

out of it. at the when as them. and their pennies are man's number one tennis player she started playing at the age of four and at her best in two thousand and ten was ranked three hundred sixty two in the world. she still plays in international tennis federation tournament and is a successful doubles player winning in las palmas in spain in august twenty seventh . for as she is a role model. have a lie have a set of free will i met them and sell them i can invest in the falcon i can on a seven four. or five and a half or have a stake in the fair and then the second that you figure in the chill fifi head funny. nickel burma and. out of beer and say it's anecdotal and that's a man and a cornfield ma ma fucking of us and them and fuck my bad.

but public support from high profile figures like fast men and the panel did not guarantee except in a by every sector of our money society. even the men's team sometimes the trucks opposition. hannaman into by the way the distance the model and the car that are on the money or how the union if a footman is a in the mess i'm not mugs early on in the sort of i'll have the full lend or lower in the main bed and shovel full of. the gun. to her but for the dumb in my few she ya need to hunt for his and sleep

or how the she took off never. is that an office of the kind with. the with and. then when the looked at it going under. in a lot of on a shoot or how. in the. path i'm going to run out them at the what's my home for them and complete the what could be a common what's. going on and how. i think you know when they're out of going out and. the girls come along and they work just as hard as the boys and if they lose to the boys then they say right tomorrow you know tomorrow we were and so it's it's it's it's interesting all i see is someone who's driven someone who's committed and somebody wants to work so i

find it very difficult to tell them apart to be honest. coming up in part two these are many women became about something more than just going out to sea in boats. one of them has been with. maybe not the sort i had wanted been. in. for us and what i've been kind of. and the impact made when they took part in international competitions at the end of the. going up to the go. ok respect you know well

you know you have all respect i have for twenty five years you've been saving for one year. in a country beset by poverty and lack of infrastructure. sometimes we risk our own lives and taking these roads with saving lives is a dangerous job as the vaccine starts on a good twenty four hours there are patients waiting for these medicines who must be a lifesaver threads. a week ago one of the gang stops some vehicles on the road at that can do it with weapons risking it all guinea at this time on al-jazeera. perceptions powerful documentaries from around the globe. always

a big sound bite that brings me down. feel it's journalism. debates and discussion this is a lot of misunderstanding and distortion even the only argument i find against that is all over the corded history. see the world from a different perspective on al-jazeera natural capital the capital which makes a creative. when nature is transformed into a commodity big business takes in new interests buying landscapes protecting landscapes it's a phenomenal opportunity to be able to use a business model to achieve sustainability of nature but at what risk banks of course don't do that because they have at the heart protection of nature they do that because to see a businessman pricing the planet as this time on al-jazeera. al-jazeera

. it's. where every. hello i'm down in jordan in doha with the top stories here on al-jazeera syrian activists have released video of what they say appears to be phosphorous bombs being dropped on eastern kuta it happened in a residential area in the town of how maria eighty eight people were killed in the region on wednesday in another day of aerial bombardment politicians in the u.s. state of florida have passed laws raising the minimum age for buying rifles to

twenty one it comes after seventeen people were killed in a high school shooting in the state last month the legislation in force is a three day waiting period for all gun sales and allows for the arming of some school starts and gallagher has more from tallahassee for those survivors of the parkland shooting of course seventeen people died three weeks ago there is a grudging acceptance that is this is a step forward and better than nothing of course what they wanted more than anything else was a complete ban on assault rifles that didn't happen this is a house controlled by the republicans but this bill will now go before the state's governor rick scott on friday he's not expected to put up any changes his so i think for the parklane survivors this is a step in the right direction tinge with a little bit of disappointment but european union has urged the u.s. to step back from the brink of a trade war many fear president trump will push ahead with tariffs on imported

steel and other minium after the resignation of his top economic adviser who opposed the plan the e.u.'s trade commissioner says it's prepared to take the case to the world trade organization it would also impose counter terrorists on u.s. products british police say a nerve agent was used to try to murder a former russian double agent and his daughter. so again you are scriptural were found slumped on a park bench in soulsby on sunday both remain critically ill in hospital. british prime minister to resign may has defended a red carpet welcome given to saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin solomon is on a three day trip aimed at developing economic ties between both countries but critics say the british government's turning a blind eye to human rights abuses in saudi arabia and votes are being counted in sierra leone's hotly contested presidential election sixteen candidates are vying for the top job hoping to lead the country out of its economic crisis the result will be known for days but a runoff is widely expected well those are the headlines now let's get you back to

al-jazeera world stature that's a water bottle. for young women in our man took part in a government initiative to widen their horizons and develop their skills by training to sail competitively. it was part of an ongoing national strategy to put our man on the global map open up opportunities for young on my knees even if it meant challenging some gulf stereotypes. the crew and the boat took their name. from a constellation of stars. but the meaning of how to me. but of commitment to for a year by then and to me live. all the chaos. of

such if i'm with them a lot of it if what if corno is my thought here who is a midget then. he said to us in a month. yeah and they fred and. when the air crew took part in the musk ox regatta in two thousand and eleven it was their first big race as a team. of the cut. and. point. market there were an awful lot of ascending inherently lower and lower gun that he can then you know what it was contends and will continue to have left.

standing can be a sport for different shapes and sizes as with other sports mental resilience is just as if not more important than physical strength. not a bad sport for women because you don't have to be the strongest if you're strong helps but there's positions on the boat where actually we need someone to be as small as possible we need the tallest we need the smallest we need someone strong we need someone very gentle the most important thing you need for sailing is you need a good mind if you go to a good mind and you can understand the game then then there's a position on the boat for you to ten men ships ten men a little high and it. will be it will be thirty three here. ten men going

any. team walk american head going to get the most. and so we. want to we have never thought of head. places that have a good. any i'm like any other but any of the anything i've said enough and said. this about. the hand that maggot is at the head of the fattest slave there is at the hands of those that live in the. that they cured in. the head for the i would have to had did that wimmin in sailing in general there is the perception that women are not as strong. and nor does dedicated and therefore they'll be they'll be easy to beat but we've had a wonderful some of this year with the girls of going round to europe on good

racing and they competed in a world championship and there was at the end of the regatta there were male teams going up to the girls and saying to them ok respect you know well done you know you have all respect i have been sailing for twenty five years you've been sailing for one year. and you beat me and hopefully you know the goals realize that even though you're starting in a position where people don't believe that you will be a good competitor when you are they are so impressed that you have their respect for life.

the my. on. and one. and it's going to. let any one get out that they could have loved the didn't bit the foreign policy doctors say you did have. arabia tore it in two thousand and twelve started and. went past. and the united arab emirates and didn't know how much. for a women joint for professionals for the race to make a crew of eight. but

often out of business i had

a stimulus of me. from the head of it and my god it's just that i divide mad men because that. kind of the faster we use it. in know it into our bobbin and our sauce it's all our own thoughts and i've been. kind of. welcome in. the. uk or kind of to dick a father here and. keep from one hundred caught up but they and i feel having. to be. i don't adamson our family i mean what i have. fear and it has a. lot

of professionals. in. a sauce with god up there at the monks going to. the window. i mean behind. i want to come up but in john's been spotted in the i'll do a sausage for you. at the loo and he only put. some money you know it at the cab for the money but it hasn't been any it's been. a month and he's going to call the but the gifts are the top on the right look i'm not going to. get his and you and inch and so what. you've been so we listen to each other. within. and so we judge my own common sense and you've gotten full aka.

apart from gender driving motivation and the mix and chemistry of the team are all key factors in mold seen a successful crew accession moved to how did they need to know a common know. what the how much a woman of the city. where she father said how beloved their mother for if they. don't want to have one also knocking about in the uk is one is a little different. they're all very individual we have some girls who are very very quiet very calm under pressure but inside they're all thinking when it goes badly for them we make a mistake we don't do very well you when you see them getting upset we have all the

girls that always like to joke and always like to turn everything into a smile and laughter but when we start the race. everyone becomes very serious and everyone becomes very very driven on that as there is always an atmosphere of next time we do even better next time we do it better. as well as empowering these young on many women in ways they didn't imagine possible sandlin enabled them to develop as people.

away to share i need that i have a teeny kid my nephew when ask if he can do much to my your oid the second lot of anatomy of pain they have somehow found to be any. good on the economy j.t. on a was a meeting at a bar one. and professional for some way not the hot assessment and in the office a welcome one charity ward for our hundred loved the one of j. toward jib not hands and one had to say when. someone. with robin have a come to know the skin of a humming to ben at the moment and bella hannah

a dreadful bit madonna good so we don't that lohan wouldn't. get invalid handful of unwanted so sitting out when it was in. it was the first woman sailing team in the whole gulf region. they set out to change perceptions of women in the region by doing the same thing as the men in the same conditions. but it was about more than just yacht racing they wanted to move barriers to achieve something different. has been with. well i don't know. maybe not the sort i had to want to be. in.

for. a full manasseh. but they come on. at the. after. that have see first sales competitively in twenty twelve. twenty thirty. in the eighty worlds competition i must say. a month later she became the first of many women to compete in the fastnet race and on months flagship boat.

or. to send them and who are caught a. because of the picnic to know how the car. kind of been. caught a. lot of them. are when you can't watch it from the new welcome to. any model for no. see the. but how. about a. motivational. talk and so we would be fired holmes and i know you cannot or before had someone for you or sidney or for us to come on and come to learn or i want to. check on among them.

done or. said i want to comment about what i. thought it meant because. they're not a bit in the book at a lot of club it comes. in two thousand and thirteen was the first time i had competed. going to france it was a. double

come. the rest got and so we did rebut that seebach shark at will and then. i have a horse. and sheriff a donor. and so it's i was so so in just almost i went in just for the simple reason so we say and you know if you've been out there a hotel before there were. many. how did. the loss of this woman to machine and our friends that would end but then ted well it up and. the blood in turn to get much out there much our value and. and what would you. rather than.

let it come back to american men who live but when i can but i do know him if you can because he doesn't and if you. had that much but how to get it i went. through good will. give it to you. i cannot be. what i would really what i would really like the authorising to do and if i if i leave him on sale twenty years' time you know look back what i want the author writing to do is to show other people women men that this is a good adventure it's hard work but if you work hard you race against other people around the world and you earn their respect there is there is nothing better

than it is something really special to have people say. well you know you were impressive you really you know i respect your talent and that's what this team is about it's about hopefully some children looking at the team and think it will maybe maybe that is for me maybe i should work hard enough that i can go to a world championship with your mom flag or you know on my back and show everybody how strong we can be. as today and gradually began to see themselves as role models and that they had a responsibility to send example to other young are many women who might follow in their footsteps in the future. and that it can sell human am i one what money at the phone and a relative. good i thought that they landed in. my city

but the big thing for all of us and that's the same for the girls is hopefully we don't want to be the only thing we want to show everybody that it's possible is possible to be to be a good arab woman and to be fantastic athlete as well but they are both very possible so the more teams the more happy we are and shyla atlantic will feel they can be come in. for a common walk the a lot of via. a day in jazz mama kind of changes pretty cool. i don't.

today a team represented on the for four years. the four women laid the ground for what's now called the on man woman sailing team. it has new members who've picked up a baton like. medal and safety and. they took part in the twenty seventeen. arabia event sailing in this new far thirty class boat. verity have track records and sports medal was an athlete and handball player. a mother comes from an equestrian background and played football volleyball and basketball. in twenty fifteen it de sam was invited by her british coach. to join the only all female crew at the vaal full ocean race which covers over forty thousand nautical miles and nine months. she's part of the

same class of graduates as and food and is one of the new generation of professional female sailors in the middle east. the team's goal is to represent our men in the international arena and add more offshore miles to their sailing careers. well the no easterly which is beginning such

a unsettled weather across northeastern parts united states and canada is still showing some heavy snowfall during the course of thursday some strong winds so blizzard conditions here for a time the flow generally coming in from the north across more eastern parts united states the temperatures not great atlanta they're just nine had across the west we've got some snow in the rockies further south a chance of the odd shower for san francisco san through friday we're likely to see showers continuing here los angeles largely dry so a bit of snow across eastern areas but it is getting better out stage where it should be bright down in dallas for the high of twenty degrees moving into central parts of america now for the caribbean islands we've seen some really massive swells and waves here as a result of a combination of some very strong winds coming for a long way north and also spring high tide still plenty of showers around but i think the coastal situation should improve a still probably quite rough seas so caution required if you're visiting that area through the isthmus we got some shasta costa rica and panama otherwise further

north cherry not looking too bad some showers for parts of mexico with mexico city seeing a high of twenty three down into south america looking fine across much of paraquat rio see one to two showers should be sunny and when it's aries highs twenty seven. god i've been there since i've been covering the war. i like that kind of content i would like twenty and i will. be the only country that got. to grow up pretty good and public transport actually designed it's something we take bridle even if you walk around you see something beautiful
