join the global conversation at this time on al jazeera. east and the differences. and the similarities of cultures across the world. al-jazeera. this is. a low i maryam namazie this is the news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes the government has concluded that it is highly likely that russia was

responsible for the act against under the script. the british prime minister clearly points the finger of blame for the spy poisoning attack. the syrian army's hold on eastern grows as a rebel group reaches a deal with russia to evacuate civilians. at least fifty killed off to a bangladeshi ally in a clash katmandu airport also. i'm reporting on the multiple threats to wildlife here from climate change to terrorism. i'm joined again. with a day sports news a greek football boss takes a gun to a title fights and it ends with the top league being suspended. we begin here in london where the british prime. has told parliament that it was

highly likely that last go was behind the poisoning of a russian double agent sergei script all and his daughter yulia have been in hospital in a critical condition since march fourth when they were found unconscious outside a shopping center in the southern english cathedral city of souls bree tourism a told lawmakers that either the russian state was directly responsible for the poisoning or it had to allowed a nerve agent to get into the hands of others russia has denied any involvement in the attack it is now clear that mr script and his daughter were poisoned with a military grade nerve agent of the type developed by russia this is part of a group of nerve agents know. based on the positive identification of this chemical agent by world leading experts at the defense science and technology to poetry at porton down our knowledge that russia has previously produced this agent and would still be capable of doing so russia's record of conducting state sponsored

assassinations and our assessment that russia of the views some defectors as legitimate targets for assassinations the government has concluded that it is highly likely that russia was responsible for the act against and you the script. bought to be phillips joins me from outside the house of parliament in westminster so what action did the british prime minister say she would now today. well what she said was that the russian ambassador was summoned by the british foreign secretary for boris johnson this afternoon and he put two possibilities to her that russia had either used this nerve agent deliberately in an act of aggression on u.k. soil or perhaps just as disturbingly that he did lost control of this highly lethal agent and the british government wants to know from the russians which of

those two possibilities are true and if they have not heard back to their satisfaction by wednesday they will outline further measures that they will take to and want to be she also said that they didn't specify anything but treason they said that more extensive measures would be taken if the russian response was not sufficient she said she said the poising would be deemed as the unlawful use of force by the russian state against the u.k. what would be the implications of that. well i think one over overriding implication is obvious which is that anglo russian relations which have been extremely poor for at least a decade now are set to worsen further some sort of british reaction to what it sees as an attempted murder on its soil is inevitable

expulsions of diplomats seems likely and russian retaliation tit for tat expulsions seems just as likely i'd have to say the possibility of financial sanctions against powerful and wealthy russians who may be close to the president vladimir putin the freezing of assets here in london the freezing of property bank accounts and so on all of those seem possible possible sanctions involving the fee for world cup which is being held in russia over the over the summer even theoretically the nonparticipation of the england football team none of these have been ruled out by the british government but i think there's also i know where miss that any action any decisions which it takes will be that much more effective and will hit home that much harder in moscow if they are done in cooperation with allies with nato

allies and with the european allies and i think that's why to some extent when to resume a was laying out what she called a pattern of aggression by the russian state in recent years she drew that wider international picture that's why she was talking about the crimea that's why she's talking about the donbass that's why she was talking about cyber attacks on denmark and on germany and i think this will be an interesting test case of britain's continued international clout if indeed it still has a lot of clout on the international scene and particularly its relations with its european allies out of. i'm what it is going through the difficult bricks in divorce negotiations well thank you very much fun to be phillips following developments for us there at westminster let's get the reaction from moscow now we're at chalons is in the russian capital what the reaction has there been from the kremlin rory. well that's i mean anything from the kremlin yet

after staying relatively quiet for most of this week russian official dome has let loose with a flurry of angry statements in the aftermath of to resume a. announcement in front of parliament's just a short while ago the russian foreign ministry has said that the reason may statements on the situation surrounding script is a circus show that this is basically an information political campaign based on provocation also the russian foreign ministry has described what the reason may said as basically tales we've also heard from the first deputy head of the federation council that's the russian senate's. council on foreign affairs. committee on foreign affairs and they say that scrip did not actually challenge russia in any way wasn't a threat to russia and the russia was not interested in eliminating him and that

what britain is doing at the moment essentially a provocation ahead of russia's presidential election and the fee for world cup and we've also heard from andre lugovoy who is a russian parliamentarian also one of the two men that britain has wanted since two thousand and six to face charges in the u.k. for the murder of alexander litvinenko now he has said to the hasty statement that the substance used a poison script was developed in russia is irresponsible to say the least. there's one also there's one possibility i think that the reason may didn't consider in her statements to parliament is now which is the of the two theories she put out there might be one that's a kind of blend of the two the this wasn't necessarily states sponsored hits and it wasn't necessarily russia losing control it's no nerve agents perhaps it was russia duz in control of its security and intelligence organs and that perhaps this was

a kind of freelancing endeavor from some units within russia's intelligence bodies . thank you very much roy chalons with a reaction there from the russian capital moscow moving now to our other top story this hour a rebel group operating in syria's eastern ghouta enclave says it's allowing wounded people to be evacuated jaish al islam says it struck a un brokered deal with the syrian government's ally russia it's the largest of three groups in the area where almost four hundred thousand civilians have been besieged since two thousand and thirteen more than a thousand people have died since the government offensive began three weeks ago. meanwhile russian and syrian government jets have attacked another rebel controlled area province in the north of the country they bombed the central bank building in the provinces main city and a number of other sites one person is confirmed dead twenty five others have been injured pro-government media says the bank was being used by al qaida as

a command and control center but rebel activists say it was an administrative building for the opposition well as the war approaches its eighth year a new report by unicef suggest children are more risk than ever before it found a fifty percent rise in the number of children killed in the conflict last year and said two thousand and eighteen was off to an even worse start of rule children make up a fifth of all civilian victims and around three point three million children have been exposed to explosive hazards well u.n. security council has been holding a special meeting on the crisis in eastern guta just two weeks ago a cease fire deal was outlined but hundreds have been killed in the rebel held and since then the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. has said that america has drawn up a new resolution one that it's ready to act if need be we support the united nations political process that seeks to end the war in syria. but we also warn any

nation that is determined to impose its will through chemical attacks and end human suffering most especially the outlaw syrian regime the united states remains prepared to act if we must it is not the path we prefer but it is a path we have demonstrated we will take and we are prepared to take it again kristen salumi is at u.n. headquarters in new york and joins us now of course on what's been the reaction that to that warning yes another warning from nikki haley that the u.s. might be prepared to take action in syria if things don't change well the debate changes a little in the security council with the united states leading efforts on one side to push for the cease fire and the russians. backing up the syrian government in its continued attacks on civilian areas saying that it has a right to do this because it's going after so-called terrorist groups to give you

a little context this was a briefing fifteen days after a cease fire resolution was passed by the security council the briefing revealed that the facts the intended effects of that resolution really haven't happened not only is the fighting still continuing aid humanitarian aid is still having trouble getting into the area and civilians are having trouble getting out so what the united states said is they are prepared to offer up this second cease fire resolution which would go into effect immediately and would not have any kind of a loophole for so-called terrorist groups which is what the russians and the syrians have been using to justify their continuing attacks in the area saying that this is necessary to go after these. islamic groups that are attempting to putting the entire syrian people at risk and as you heard the americans sounded like they were ready to back up that action with force if need be with nikki haley talking about the fact that a year ago the united states went and bombed

a syrian airfield where there were reports that a chemical weapons attack had been launched from this airport so reminding everyone that the united states had been willing to do this in the past while at the same time pushing the russians and the syrians to comply with the existing resolution the russians for their part and says that the syrians are within their rights again for continuing these attacks and they question the source of the u.s. and the united nations information doesn't look like they're ready to back down or change course at this time aren't thank you very much christine slimmy with the latest from the united nations. in other developments hundreds of civilians have fled the syrian city of afraid on monday as turkish troops and their rebel allies continue to close in on kurdish y.p. chief itis strips of destroyed water and power stations that supply african making it difficult for people to survive their algis there is alan fischer of what's now

a free region in january even to drive the kurdish fighters the y.p. ji who it describes as terrorists away from its border. over the weekend the kurdish militia the y p g said it would use civilian volunteers to form a human shield to help protect the city of our friend just last week it said it was pulling seventeen hundred fighters from other places in syria to go to the front lines it appears neither of these moves have deterred the continued push by the f.s.a. on the turkish military the free syrian army has posted this video which shows them within sight of a free in city below wishing for the order for the final push on fischer al-jazeera from the turkey city of border. dozens of people have been killed after a plane carrying seventy two passengers crashed at an airport in a pulse capital the plane burst into flames when it hit an area just off the runway in katmandu witnesses say swerved repeatedly as it prepared to land the final death

five years in school. amnesty international has really satellite images set to show a man miles military building infrastructure on top of areas once home to rangoon muslims the organization is describing the construction as a land grab meanwhile the u.n. is accused man miles government of using a policy of force starvation against rang of villages in iraq on state entails to have explains. life continues to be a misery at this ridge a refugee camp in eastern bangladesh many of those who live here say they just want to go back to their homes in myanmar's rakhine state but if you are certain if they ever will what's also unclear is whether they will ever see justice for the abuses faced abuses the u.n. describes as bearing the hallmarks of genocide. amnesty international is also

questioning whether the more than seven hundred thousand rick injured displaced in months of violence will ever be able to return to their homes these satellite images appear to show areas where rohingya houses mosques and businesses once stood and where since the sort of the year there has been a rapid increase in the construction of myanmar military infrastructure including three new army bases construction the rights group is describing as a land grab. around three hundred fifty ridge of villages have been destroyed since unrest and rakhine state began last august eyewitnesses say the myanmar military directed the burning of the villages and accusation the government denies despite an agreement with neighboring bangladesh to repatriate the hundreds of thousands of the hindu who fled over the border to safety it's looking increasingly unlikely many will be able to return to where their homes once stood as well as the new military infrastructure rapid road construction and other building has been seen in the area and one case for him to villagers who had remained in myanmar were

forcibly evicted to make way for an army base we're witnessing a genocide in real time the mistreatment of the rich by me and my military and me and mas authorities surely meets the criteria to be considered a genocide then we actually need to see sanctions back on the table this should be visa bans for the pipa trite as of these atrocities and that should include not just the military but it should should should include the civilian authorities of me and the me and maher government doesn't deny bulldozing the remains of the wreckage of villages in recent months but says it did so to make way for the new homes for returning refugees u.n. investigators say it's been difficult to ascertain what's happening in rakhine state because it has largely been sealed off from them rights groups and the media in al-jazeera james gamez is the regional director of southeast asia pacific international who are behind the report. about the founding findings and what's

been happening to their hang inside me. i think we just have to step back you know six months ago when we saw villages burning as hundreds and thousands of. fled across the border into bangladesh of fast forward a few months the burnt remains in a bend in villages since january have been you know bulldoze brought down. and this city used a mixture of satellite pictures verified videos pictures and i witness accounts both in rakhine state as well over in coke's was to build a composition picture of the mass building that going on essentially this is a military land grab and of kind of four elements to the mess of construction that is been taking place that has been evidence about its images our position is that no returns should take place until you know the rowing community is able to return

in a save and dignified measure instead where you know we won the u.n. fact finding mission to have access to rakhine state so that we came fully investigate all the crimes against humanity what is of concern here is that the message building is actually destroying evidence that could be used to investigate you know crimes against humanity and you know perhaps all story you know or call stewards and international justice solution to what has been happening in myanmar fifty thousand farmers have scored a major victory with the government of the indian state of maharashtra they marched for five days to mumbai to minding a more access to land and better crop prices protests what is the government conceded to help the munchies day charlotte palace reports. the atmosphere was upbeat as these bombers arrived in mumbai with

a message for the indian government it took them five days in the hot sun to much one hundred eighty kilometers from the ancient holy city of michigan they stopped only for food and wrist eager to make their voices heard in india's financial capital to state and federal government legislators ordered the border much i'm on my own but i got the government should accept some of our demands in the past we have blocked roads tried to fill dates but the government of the move with this long yet determined to stay put outside the state assembly to lower demands are met yet a need to put an end date. farmers in india having a tough time many have fallen into days due to drought and increasingly erratic with or between twenty fourteen and twenty sixteen the number of protests by farmers across india increased by almost seven hundred percent to nearly five thousand what they actually do farmers that are asking is if they want the grateful income they need to be standing for the items they want justice to be done to them

you know the government has to go to our farmers as a glass which has been just ignored and we have believed that the economic reform economic growth of the country if they did place just by industry or they got this the pharmacy cities high a crop prices and more access to lend would help them survive they also say strict conditions on a government loan waiver program excludes the vast majority of farmers. if the government does not do anything for us in the next two days they did not return empty handed to mumbai people either take a bullet or return with a loan of over. late on monday they made in the state governments met with a delegation of farmers and came to an agreement they would receive learn way this and move the recent promise seen as a major victory enough to return the farmers to their lands.

egypt has extended the detention of al jazeera journalist mahmud hussein by another forty five days egyptian national was arrested while on vacation in december two thousand and sixteen is saying was accused of incitement against state institutions and broadcasting false news with the aim of spreading chaos he has lawyers and al-jazeera strongly deny the allegations this is the twelfth time his detention has been extended the u.n. relief and works agency says it needs five hundred million dollars to keep hundreds of schools open across the middle east the organization has been stretched since the u.s. reduced funding earlier this year well now it's the children affected by the cuts that are speaking out and ron cowen is in the occupied west bank. the message here is that dignity is priceless it's aimed at the united states of america with held one hundred ten million dollars in funding for the united nations relief works agency they're the ones that deal with palestinian refugees and it's not just say in the occupied west bank this similar things are taking place in syria in lebanon

in jordan and in gaza and this is very simple this is about humanitarian aid now some countries have already stepped up to try and make up that shortfall they've issued money towards however that's no money that's new money that was money that's already been promised it's just been delivered. it's incredibly important that we understand that each of the students you see around us here every day shows so much courage in coming to school despite all the constraints and the risks and to invest in their education and i cannot conceive or imagine that we would not be able to keep these schools open because of the financial situation the donor conference in rome on thursday will be crucial for underwrote to try and raise the money not just the u.s. withholding funding there's a shortfall of about five hundred million dollars say a new of five hundred million dollars that's needed to keep schools like this one

open and this is just one of about seven hundred schools. sri lanka's weeklong stated in my agency has not been lifted as expected it was imposed after muslim and homes and businesses were set on fire by senate leaders but it's nationalists gangs governments accused of failing to act fast enough to protect life and property but it's miss reports now from colombia. his embattled prime minister is on a damage limitation exercise ronnell wickramasinghe visited candy to promised swift compensation for the loss of life and property in riots last week if he wanted al-jazeera asked for his response to the communal violence we have learned that in the fall of the country as a boy people do not want to violence they may have different views about the big issue with the world really. need this but like any other country though they used to be discussed in the media that's a great word at least and thereby. really emerged. here in. the last

elections local ones last month delivered a major blow to the prime minister and president that coalition parties won control of just fifty two councils out of three hundred forty. three years ago may three powers syria say no was elected president and wickramasinghe a became prime minister after both men joined forces to defeat then president mahinda rajapaksa the muslim and tamil minority groups that helped them win and now dissolution promises to bring the previous regime to account for corruption and yet to be honored and both leaders have been jockeying for influence that risks creating a power vacuum when this wrong that the government is really and the one cannot bear decisive action and you know they also are not at the police were not on the list of the government that's one of the problem. during candidates numbers the police did not act immediately and partly because they were not sure.

because the government has been sending. contradictory signals. the opposition senses an opportunity and a way back in the former president rajapaksa really lost. them i think the country. didn't expect this type of situation to live with. his leaving. so the collapse of the government has called in criminal court to seek for a more stable alternative to the government's imposition of a nationwide state of emergency to deal with an issue in just one part of the country following its initial slow response to the outbreak of violence and condi has been seized on by critics as an indication of weakness of the very top there are no presidential elections almost two years on the opposition doesn't have the numbers to win a vote of no confidence leaving this administration to try to deliver on his

campaign. but it's been al-jazeera come up. with the news hour still ahead students in the u.s. plan a school walkout to demand tighter gun controls how indonesia plans to cut congestion in its grade lock capitol and then in school form well number one comes up short in california joe has those details come. hello there we're seeing some rather heavy downpours ever parts of the middle east at the moment you see all the cloud on the satellite picture drifting its way towards the east but it's been over parts of afghanistan and into where we see some of the wettest of the weather and we've also seen a fair amount of snow today that snow has also been stretching a bit further north kickstand seen a few outbreaks of wet weather as we have through kazakstan as well that system

tries to sneak eastwards as we head through wednesday so more of us were get away with a dry day including four thinkable here are temperatures rising up to around fifteen degrees there's another system out towards the west that's working its way across turkey there and when stay is still with us over the northern parts of turkey and just nudging its way further east heavy downpours on the north so a great deal of snow the further towards the south. and here in doha the winds will be picking up over the next day or so so feeling a bit blustery but that wind will just take the edge of the temperature a little bit so thirty or thirty one degrees will be our maximum over the next couple of days for us in muscat it's a little bit more humid his that the temperatures aren't quite as high we'll be getting to around twenty eight down towards the southern part of africa plenty of cloud here on arch up giving us plenty of rain particularly from angola towards the east or south of this swirling mathis is developing system that's gradually sinking south.

the capital which makes a creative. when nature is transformed into a commodity big business takes a new interest. 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 business crossing the planet as this time on al-jazeera when the news breaks. on the mailman city and the story builds to be forced to leave it would just be all when people need to be heard to women and girls are being bought and given away in refugee camps al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring new award winning documentaries and live news on al-jazeera i got to commend you all i'm hearing is good journalism on air and online.

a comeback you're watching the news hour a recap of the top stories now british prime minister to resign may has told parliament that it was highly likely that moscow was responsible for the poisoning of russian double agent. a rebel group operating in syria's eastern ghouta and claims says it's allowing wounded people to be evacuated after striking a deal with russia and dozens of people have been killed after a plane carrying seventy two passengers crashed at katmandu airport in nepal. donald trump appears to back tracked on proposals to raise the age limit for guns.

u.s. president has unveiled new legislation which includes strengthening background checks and funding firearm training for teachers but the changes don't include raising the minimum age to buy guns from eighteen to twenty one trumps as that should be left to a new federal commission on school safety but the students are angered by this they are staging another protest in the u.s. on wednesday to demand tighter gun laws this time them missing school for the cause rob runnels has the story from los angeles. spurred to action by the marjorie stoneman douglas high school protesters teenage students around the united states plan to walk out of class on march fourteenth they're demanding stricter gun laws in an end to the political influence of the gun lobby neither ramaswamy is a thirteen year old student in los angeles it's the adults making the laws with the kids who are getting shot and so i feel like the kids are the ones who should be

standing up for themselves now as mother sosh ramaswamy fully supports or i have told my you walk out if you want to walk out you walk out and we will deal with that but the administrator said knowing is school or discouraging student protests and threatening punishment per teacher told her that if anyone left the classroom at ten am then they would get in on satisfactory that they would lose their privileges like being able to put a disney land with their class. other school districts around the u.s. are brandishing similar threats for example when used in texas a school district chief announced he would not allow student demonstrations for any quote protest or awareness unquote those threats violate numerous court rulings upholding students' rights to free speech school administrators and students and families need to understand that students cannot be disciplined any more harshly under the constitution than they would be if they were just. missing class or lunch

period so they cannot be disciplined for protest and they cannot be disciplined generally for things that they say are political positions that they take civil liberties organization say they'll take school districts to court if they impose harsh punishment for non-disruptive student protests naya says threats won't prevent her from standing up for her beliefs they're not going to stop me from here or my friends student protesters are getting strong support from top university admissions officers universities including cal tech mit the university of massachusetts and others are all saying that even if high schools give black marks to their students for participating in walkouts it will have no impact on the likelihood of them being admitted to those colleges and many universities are encouraging students to take action saying they should stand up for what they believe in robert oulds al jazeera los angeles. south sudan's five year civil war

a vet patients tend to seek traditional treatments and only make the journey to hospitals when it's often too late many of those who come to are from neighboring counties more than half of the population lives in rural areas where there is limited health care according to the un over fifty percent of health facilities in the country are nonfunctional and while proximity to health centers is the reason doctors see other factors also contribute to delays in getting treatment. so. the first person. is. on a drug after. it is very. a challenge a joke is already facing and one long mars mother

a government's attempt to reduce those famous traffic jams every weekday from six to nine am an odd and even license plate system will take effect here on the toll road it's a system that has been used already in the city as well and it's now been extended to the suburbs it's easy to remember because on the odd days an odd number plate is allowed to enter here the toll road and on the even days will be even numberous and if someone tries to under the toll road with the wrong number there will be no mercy and you will immediately be sent back. for those who are not allowed to enter the toll road the government has prepared these buses twelve buses have already left this morning for the government not only wants to reduce traffic but also wants to change the mindset of people who are still taking the car to go to work only twenty percent of people in chicago use of public transport that's now see how can people are to take the bus. i take the bus every day already so i'm not getting

tired being stuck in traffic in the bus i can sleep and wake up when i arrive the government paid to reduce traffic here by twenty five percent from around eight thousand cars a day to around six thousand and it also wants to increase the speed the graph and drive here from around twenty five kilometers from our forty five but now we're already getting seventeen kilometers an hour so we're doing pretty well but a lot of people fear that the traffic jams just go out somewhere. and this is a situation closer to the city a recent study has found that people in chicago spend an average of twenty two days a year just simply being stuck in traffic this not only causes major air pollution but also cost the economy around five billion u.s. dollars a year. still ahead for you we report from the prestigious continent of antarctica on the threat tourism to its wildlife. and the williams sisters for passion when you them are. i will read joe will tell you everything you need to know ahead of us

me. so mission is aborted and we have to wait another twenty four hours before making landfall on penguin island near the reasonably accessible tip of the antarctic peninsula a colony of chinstrap penguins territory with a large group of seals one making the most of the comfortable feathers of the molten juveniles of course the environment where these magnificent animals wildlife is living is incredibly fragile incredibly delicate there's all sorts of threats that they're up against from climate change to cruel fishing and then of course there's this tourism and the tourists come here the audience close to king george in their masses. some are prepared to pay top dollar to have the and all to experience there are some pressures that come from tourism so in the background we have a two hundred person tours ship take the number of tourist coming down here say the

beginning of the two thousands was somewhere around four five thousand a year we're now over thirty thousand people a year. two days later we arrive at hanna point on the southern edge of livingstone island here another colony of chinstrap penguins healthy and in good shape they will look a group of gentoo penguins there's the distinctive beak of the southern giant but showing its young. or elephant seals all different species side by side on a grand scale but across the continent the pressure is building its crazy pace of change and at the moment colonies like this one seem to be doing ok but all it takes is one bad year and we saw in the east antarctic last year a penguin colony collapse due to chicks born. and and so that the pace of change is so quick we don't want to add additional thrust things like fishing which is gradually expanding and is still in pretty good shape but it's apparent this unique

landscape needs to be very carefully managed as multiple threats interludes on the horizon big al-jazeera antarctica. and in part four of our series environment and it's a nick clark sail strewth huge swells and one hundred kilometer now winds off antarctica it gets up close and all sorts of marine animals thriving in the most fragile environments. i know after all this fall with joe. maryam thank you greece top football league has been suspended indefinitely after the president of one of its club stormed onto the pitch with a gun even sufi this the president of power. ran on to confront the referee after his side had a late goal ruled offside during a game against a k. athens on sunday his gun was holstered it is hate that it led to chaotic scenes at the match and it was called off john psaropoulos has more from. the

incident in which the owner of the facility the team stormed the playing field with his hand on his gun which was resting on his right hip has met with universal condemnation by football fans and commentators today one person told me that he should go back to russia mr seve this is a russian national greek descent another said that he should be arrested the police have put out a call for his immediate arrest on site because of his use of that weapon in public he has however apparently not shown up yet but these sorts of behaviors are of a piece with the ownership of the major football clubs in greece all of the four major clubs which have made it out of greece into the european u.a.e. for sponsored tournaments and championships three of the club owners have at one

point or another been brought up on criminal charges this is not a scene in which owners are let's say responsible stakeholders in society they are seen rather a self-styled strongman who use soccer teams if anything to bolster their image in greek society and bring more influence and pressure to bear on the elected governments. now it seems like a lifetime ago says tiger woods dominated gulf but on sunday we got a glimpse of what it might be like for woods to be back on top the fourteen time major champion found himself in contention for victory at a p.g.a. tour come for tyshan for the first time in five years peta stunned that reports. the bill sponsors have been chipped coldly wondered if tiger woods would be its twenty eighteen champion the fourteen time major winner has not lifted a tournament trophy in five years oh that could change in florida woods was

the correct side so that adds up for the course of a week. in the end victory at the championship would go to england's paul casey. this is only the second to him and women the p.g.a. tour will be englishman. was he to stay with this year. novak djokovic has returned to tennis didn't go to plan at indian wells on sunday he suffered a shock to feet to the world number one hundred nine terror daniel of japan this was his first match since the australian open after which he underwent surgery on an elbow injury he suffered at wimbledon last year daniel won seven six four six six one to progress to the third round. from need felt like. first match ever played on the tour. very rarely for me i just played the. last rhythm everything just short of the inside of this with our
