this eighteen year old syrian was in a smugglers' boats with his younger sister. the police came up to us and they told us you can cross they made us turn around the police who previously given us access to their fence and border patrols gave us a statement denying that they turn any refugees around and claim their priority is human dignity. but human rights advocates say they know pushbacks happen all the time and accuse the greek government of breaking international law. this is al jazeera. and live from studio fourteen here at al-jazeera headquarters. with a new spirit of carrying a crowded saudi arabia's crown prince begins an ambitious u.s.

trip with a visit to the white house. looking to rehabilitate his country's image in the eyes of americans but his plan to attract foreign investors faces challenges we'll explore what those are also on the grid airstrikes killed children who've been sheltering in a school in syria. the bombardment intensified again after a brief lull the u.n. once again demanding access to civilians who made it out of those still trapped inside and his name was soon he was forty five years old and he was the only male northern white rhino left in the world before his death on tuesday the rhino had been part of an effort to save the subspecies from extinction with two females remaining can science still come to the rescue.

thanks to dan and we didn't have been trending worldwide essentially to spend south this period but the rhinos that i'm satisfied and have a message about this conversation or anything else during the show i suggest using the hashtag a.j. news group. here with a news group we're live on air we're streaming online through you tube facebook live and that al-jazeera dot com so saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin son of man is beginning his three week u.s. tour well the visit to the white house which is due to happen in less than an hour's time it's a big trip with a big to do list to match well the major challenge for bin sandman will be justifying his country's role in yemen's war and ensuring ongoing u.s. support late last month three u.s. senators introduced a motion to end their military's involvement which hasn't been approved by congress

and another major regional regional issue is the gulf diplomatic crisis which has seen saudi arabia and three other countries impose a trade embargo on qatar the trumpet ministrations said it once the standoff results while the young crown prince will also court u.s. investors and business leaders as he sells fiz vision to modernize the saudi economy and we need off oil and change perceptions of his country's image in the eyes of americans he's spoken of trying to restore a more tolerant saudi arabia that existed decades ago alan fischer joining us live from just outside the white house so quite a to do list the going on allan for the crown prince in the sense of peace is happening shortly when he meets with the president. exactly right i mean we hear the white house and there are some protesters maybe you can just hear them just outside and what is a very cold and very wait day here in washington d.c.

and they are protesting about saudi arabia's involvement in yemen as you see that's going to be one of the questions at the donald trump will ask whether or not the saudis are prepared to open up the ports to a lower aid to get in but there are many other things that they need to discuss as well they're going to talk about the influence of iran and we know donald trump's position on not particularly the iran nuclear deal he's refused to decertify it wants to see it renegotiated and he wants to noise got to be in support there's the question of the palestinian process peace process which is being walked on by gerry couche no who is donald trump's son in law and also key advisor what role the saudis will play in that there is the recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital and then there is also the question of saudi arabia establishing some sort of civil nuclear power program and they need the united states help or not so all of this to be discussed in the white house but also on capitol hill and there certainly the saudi crown prince will face questions as you see about u.s.

continuing role in yemen and the number of casualties that have been inflicted there and this is the second time that he's been to the white house he was here exactly a year ago in march twenty seventeen played a big part in making sure the dog transfers foreign trip normally when the u.s. president comes into office first foreign trip tends to be mexico or canada this time round it was so do donald trump seem to think that that was a big success so he's built a born with the saudis but you're right some in the haven't been someone is going to big job in front of them is going to turn us public perception about saudi arabia recent poll fifty five percent of people don't trust sodium arabia in the united states and that figure is higher than people who don't trust china or the. in cuba that's in fact what a lot of our viewers watching want to ask you allan we're getting questions on our social media feed about how was efforts have gone down to two alter his

kingdon kingdoms image in the u.s. we know that he's spoken to u.s. media ahead of that trip and he's also hired lobbying firms over in the states. exactly right that's exactly what he's going to say that has been a softening of the grown over the last two three months ahead of this visit and we've seen it through op eds in newspapers where people are talking about the g.o.p. is doing in saudi arabia and we've seen it in access to various media outlets here in the united states that's been important too but you're right this saudis have also spent millions of dollars as have many other foreign governments spent millions of dollars making sure that their agenda their views are carried not just here at the white house but also on capitol hill as well and with important think tanks who produce peepers that people talk about so all of this has been softening the growing for this visit to prepare the american people for a different look at saudi arabia it may be successful but it's certainly to take

three weeks away from the kingdom to come here to the united states to talk to business leaders to talk to academics to talk to the entertainment industry to talk to silicon valley computer experts that's a big three weeks and a lot of ground to cover as you see it is a big big to do list ok alan fischer will speak to us and when that meeting gets under way thank you for the time being so as alan was saying the saudis have really entrenched lobbying networks in washington through investing millions of dollars for influence and according to alan as well as our correspondent political hay and who wrote this article you're looking at right now the amount of money that's being spent by all sides is staggering so how exactly do they do it and what are some of the services that lobbyists provide to their clients patty spells it out a little bit more in this reporter's notebook which you'll find on al-jazeera dot com. we will stay in the u.s. just outside washington d.c.

what's happened is that as shooting at a school in the state of maryland has left three people wounded including the person who opened fire it's happened almost a month after seventeen people most of them teenagers were shot and killed at a high school in florida sparking nationwide protests and renewed debate over u.s. gun laws jordan is in our washington d.c. bureau to tell us more about this latest shooting rosalind. well during according to the sheriff of st mary's county three people were shot the shooter who got into a shootout as it were with a school resource officer that's a police officer who is deployed on a public school campus that person was shot as were two other students a girl and a boy all three of these young people are said to be in critical condition although the male student who was not the shooter is said to be also in

a stable condition we don't know the motive behind this shooting although there has been some speculation including from the congressman who represents the area that this might have been a domestic situation some sort of romantic entanglement that resulted in gunfire this happened during the first period of the school day at great mills high school in southern maryland it's in a military community it's near naval air station but talks at river which is where they test the f. thirty five steel jet fighter this is also a community of about sixteen hundred students so did not a very big high school as u.s. high schools go but certainly in light of the concerns about gun violence on school campuses in the past a month or so this is of course raising real alarms at least twenty other schools across the u.s. since february fourteenth have experienced either some sort of shooting or some

sort of threat of gun violence and this would make it the twenty first such school to have such an incident but again three young people so all said to be students at the school in critical condition at this hour we don't have a motive there is a lot of speculation ok got it jordan thank you for having a questions for rosalind you can send them to her on twitter she's on ross jordan a.j. and also you can contact us here on the news grid so send in your comments or your questions to any. for online platforms we are on twitter at a.j. english we're also on facebook at facebook dot com slash a.j. news grid you can send us a whatsapp message a plus nine seven four five zero triple one one four nine and just a reminder to always use the hash tag a.j. news grid to syria that's where the u.n. is again calling for urgent access to civilians who've escaped from the shrinking rebel enclave of eastern old saw and to those trapped inside many of the fifty

the roadside bomb exploded near his passing convoy as it crossed into the street a week ago speaking in ramallah on monday night said he is furious about what he described as an assassination attempts. we offer well wishes and safety to our brother. the prime minister and magic head of intelligence and the rest of our brothers from the security detail that went through this despicable incident that was done by hamas in the gaza strip. we can now speak to some harm done he's a senior hamas official joining us from beirut mr hamdan good to have you with us on al-jazeera once again saw bess's directly blaming hamas for what he's calling that assassination attempt against the law in gaza what is your official response. well it's clear that condemned and rejected what. i was saying there is an

important fact which has to me and else that we are investigating about this explosion and with the point that we need the community of the communication which was supposed to be introduced by the prime minister of and from the law we asked him twice about this issue and here is shifted to compare it with the investigation and last received by abu mazen himself it seems that they are awarded about this issue because this will show who are the people who are behind this explosion who were. planning to do this i don't want to do the same as my best to jump to the conclusions but i have to say when i will madam the chick to give us the data that means he knows exactly who will be home always behind that and he want to hind this to tell you however accept any responsibility for this attack

that took place in gaza after all hamas are they defect to rulers of gaza and who still control security there. when no one can control the security one hundred percent i have to remind everyone that one year ago one of our see the militant leader was rather mad and for how was assassinated by some militants who were working for the benefit of their commission and they were connected with the shah back directly so it happens against how mass not only against it i meant him the lower end of the bed from the investigations where. in that i did action and the people who committed this crime where i rested we expected that. the law will help in this investigation because he was the targeted person but unfortunately he didn't work in that i direction and he led double masm to accuse

him as we insist to have the information which we need and that will bring us to. the final conclusion of this investigation anyway we will continue with that. if there was i mean irresponsibility for anyone he has to take that responsibility what does this then all mean for reconsideration there were steps albeit small ones that had been taken towards reconciliation between fatah and hamas so is this the end. well we believe that abu mazen have done has a force not to work with very conciliation and he tried to undermine that he can sell us symbolises and here addicted to or visit chaos several times some of their senior leaders they did not cooperate with the egyptian. security. who visited several times for that he can say. we believe that he is trying to

use this issue as an excuse to undermine the whole process one of his ministers ahmed magellan was a very close the minister of door mahmoud abbas himself response for what had happened we insist to continue that he conciliation and if. that there is no could be conciliation we have to say clearly that he is no more representing the palestinian people and we have two or go forward for the elections general elections to elect a new leader for the p.l.o. or a new leader for the. new leader for the palestinian people someone down we thank you very much for joining us as a beirut thank you well on the front page of our website you'll find the tab for palestine so you can click on it and it will bring you to this page palestine news and you can find all the latest stories and developments including more on what i'm about has been saying. what we'll do now is cross over to barbara in

a french investigative news website called actually published documents which suggested that the former president nicolas sarkozy had received illegal campaign funding for his two thousand and seven presidential campaign off the that a year later french police launched an investigation into the case never since magistrates and police have been trying to gather evidence and information and these allegations of really overshadowed nicolas sarkozy's political career in fact in twenty sixteen he was running for the presidency for a third time and that bid was in some ways well stoppard by the fact that a lebanese french businesswoman came out and said that he himself would carry five million dollars worth of cash in suitcases from tripoli's or paris and handed that money to one of nicolas sarkozy's closest sade's well over the years sarkozy has always denied any links saw received denied that he's ever received any illegal funds from libya has always said that he's been the target of his opponents and

critics it's been a political smear campaign but now that he has retired from politics it's only going to be a lot harder to use that as his line of defense. twenty three russian diplomats expelled from the u.k. in the wake of the source very nerve agent attack have left the russian embassy in london along with their families they've been thrown out in response to the poisoning of former russian double agents. and his daughter u.v.-a two weeks ago moscow denies any involvement and is expelling twenty three british diplomats in retaliation i think we can see some live pictures now of the plane where the twenty three russian diplomats will on the plane still there on the tarmac china's annual national people's congress is wrapped up with a warning from the president against anyone attempting to divide the country zeeshan ping sent a strong message to self-governed taiwan during the two week session condemning

hello there it's looking a little bit more settled across parts of the middle east at the moment we're still the circulation here that's over parts of afghanistan giving us a fair amount of rain and still some snow over the mountains that's clearing away the things for many of us here will be a good deal drier than the other two weather systems are in the far northern parts of our map so one of them just getting to the north of azerbaijan there and here it should stay dry even as we head through thursday and the next system is working its way across the northern parts of turkey there during the day on thursday but generally speaking to the south of that it's fine and dry and the temperatures will be climbing now so force in baghdad will be around thirty degrees the temperatures certainly climbing here in doha to say thirty one degrees will be the maximum on wednesday that as we head into thursday will get to around thirty three or thirty four so feeling hotter for so long more humid here so our temperatures topping out around thirty degrees let's head down towards the southern parts of africa then and

we can see all spiraling cycling gradually trailing away towards the south it's clearing away from madagascar madagascar so if you mostly fine now but further west for some of us here in namibia it's looking pretty wet that's also affecting us in this system still with us as we head through wednesday and it's just giving a few showers for the south as well. it's very difficult as a shuffle restaurant or to buy shrimp with the confidence that what you're serving is going to be good seafood by nature is a high risk quantity sometimes friend has raised music production drugs. that are not approved for use and us the f.d.a. simply isn't has staying and not on the imported market care really fine doll of things by a lot of presidents take note at this time on elss a. key figure of the early twentieth century

arab literary scene. and a feminist writer. had to have had time. so why did the story and in such tragedy. now does or won't expose the life and why of maisie adda at this time on al-jazeera.

the headlines on al-jazeera and these are the stories that are most right now on. on zero dot com in the top spot we have a story out of canada and it's about a premier the next the premier for ontario if in fact he does become the premier of ontario this offer is likening him to trump so you can read much more about that on al-jazeera dot com. and speaking of trump and returning to one of our top stories that is the saudi crown

prince his visit to the u.s. beginning with a meeting with president donald trump that'll take place in about half an hour's time so with me here. he directs the center for conflict and humanitarian studies at the doha institute thanks very much for coming in and what will you be looking out for after this meeting between trump and have been sad one. i think premise man would be looking to represent saudi arabia to trump but also to the american public at large and this time we were much easier than his trip a year ago since then he's been taking concrete steps towards say women's empowerment counter corruption many many many issues which will make his selling pitch much much easier this time around this time around however i think there are some critical issues where he will find himself in difficulty particularly around yemen where now american senators themselves are questioning

the american support for saudi arabia and yemen and maybe to a lesser extent around the issue of the gulf states ok let's look at these two issues in a bit more detail so when it comes to yemen you have human rights watch for example saying this what is less likely to be examined in meeting rooms or on the nightly news in the u.s. is what he's done in yemen in his trip to america so do you expect there to be much movement so when it comes to the situation in yemen i think so i think it's now gone for for far too long it is counterproductive in terms of his own plans for the do for development also to support when it came to yemen it has offered support but there are also coming under pressure from public opinions. in terms of their intelligence support for the saudis. just because support and so on and i suspect it is one of those issues that man would like to resolve one way or the other and i hope this visit some sense will come into this and it will be the

beginning of a process what about when it comes to the gulf crisis do you expect any movement there is there any pressure that's going to be put from the white house on bin solomon to find a solution or move towards finding a solution yes it's been a few weeks ago as you are as you as you recall the qataris were in washington and they struck a number of the. heels with the united states they reinforce the concept of the importance of qatar to the united states the american base in the den so on so i suspect that they would also trying to exert some pressure on the benson man to revisit his position reserve be the blockade on gaza and to be honest considering the bigger issues of yemen and your research them his need for investment in saudi arabia his need for technical support technology nor on nuclear energy many many other issues the issue may as well be the issue where he would make.

more. compromise we'll wait and see what happens on what account we thank you we'll have to leave it there thank you very much for joining us thanks now britain's dr protection watchdog wants a search warrants for the company at the center of a dot up breach scandal so a whistleblower says the firm hired by donald trump's campaign improperly accessed information on fifty million facebook users mariana holland has more. many of us provide information online perhaps with a little thought about how it might be used and who it might end up with the scandal involving facebook might make many of us reconsider. cambridge analytic is accused of misusing the data of millions of facebook uses a whistleblower who worked at the british based data mining firm says the information was used to build a system which may have influenced voters in the us presidential election and other

votes to this data was used to create profiling algorithms that would allow us to explore mental vulnerabilities of people and then map out ways to inject information into different in the different streams or channels of content online so that people started to see things all over the place that may or may not have been true this is a company that really took fake news to the next level by pairing it with algorithms the details of millions of facebook users were reportedly gathered by a cambridge university professor using a personality testing app he'd created called this is your digital life well uses gave permission for information to be used by him it's alleged the data was then sold to a steward party cambridge analytical and violation of facebook's own policies

cambridge analytic it denies doing anything wrong and says it deleted all records when it discovered how the data had been obtained from facebook. but britain's data protection watchdog and others want proof the doubt it was wiped britain's information commissioner is seeking a warrant to search cambridge and litigants computers services and facebook wants proof to its high to digital for in six them to find out how the data leak happened and to make sure the data was destroyed but that response might have come too late facebook's share price fell almost seven percent on monday wiping nearly forty billion dollars off its value and the company's chief of security alex de moss is reportedly to leave facebook because of internal disagreements at how facebook should deal with its role in spreading disinfo mation this theft of data happened over four years ago so it's very surprising to see them be so reactors at

a proactive politicians and britain and the us want facebook's chief executive mark zuckerberg to appear before them to respond to the mess of facebook data breach and the accusations against cambridge generalistic widening an undercover investigation by britain's channel four secretly taped to cambridge analytic or executive appearing to boast about the film's ability to sway elections by entrapping politicians in compromising situations and conducting fake news campaigns something facebook's accused of enabling medium honed al-jazeera lets me to dean crutchfield who's a corporate branding specialist joining us now live from new york good to speak with you on the news grid is this something that facebook can recover from in terms of the brands. well it's a question of what they do now i mean this is an outrage what's happened it's a flagrant abuse of the terms of service they do have with their partners and

businesses they work with but it also shows that that terms of service are woefully inadequate basically facebook has failed its moral obligation to provide its customers its uses with transparency and accountability what happens right now is key in terms of the facebook brand going forward so ultimately that means aka berg must testify and so what is this this breach as some are calling it even a facebook are saying it is not mean for actual users of facebook so how much privacy should users expect to have on facebook well i think it's a huge issue it's a mainstream issue now whether it's in the boardroom or in the living room we're all concerned about privacy and security they say up to seventy percent of consumers of all ages are concerned about that it's a top priority it's something they're concerned about you know consumers are aware that their data is valuable but most of us just don't know how it's being used and i think that's the big issue here is how it's being used and what rights do i have and it's interesting to know that the e.u.

is actually launching is general data protection regulation in may and that does exactly that look after the consumer in terms of their data the privacy of that data and how it's used america needs to follow suit you know we're speaking of the e.u. legislators have also announced that there's an investigation that's not going to go on so what steps do you want to see them take and what steps do you think they will be taking in regards to this. well i think it's about transparency you know when brands whether it's kellogg's or facebook it's about trust you know we we want to trust the brands that we like and breaching trust clearly here with facebook is out pretty and security of our data there's nothing bigger than that the whole proposition behind facebook is the sense that we feel but our data is being protected in some way clearly here it's not being protected in any way so we'll that's going to release on the facebook brand what do you see a solution to be i mean do they have to be like banks for example where they simply do not surrender any dots and in fact they protect your data well i think there

needs to be laws and regulations that basically protect the consumer like the g.d.p. are that's happening in the e.u. that's what we need so first of all rules and regulations to protect the consumer and i have to keep saying the second most important priority right now is dr burke must testify ok we'll leave it there we thank you very much dean crutchfield for speaking to us from new york thank you well al jazeera dot com keeping right across a story so if you've missed anything or just want to revisit it you could head to our home page and click on science and technology that tab and you'll find the tab under the more section at all at al-jazeera dot com. was the last male northern white rhino who became a symbol of efforts to save his kind from extinction has died in kenya named sue done after the country he was born in forty five years ago he leaves behind two females which scientists are now pinning their hopes to what sudan trending

worldwide on social media. is looking at how the world sarah is reacting. the world's most eligible bachelor who once had a profile on the dating cinda will be missed by many and that's why people have been using the hash tag the lone bachelor gone along with thousands of messages of rest in peace messages on social media and one of the interesting hashtags that we've seen out there is we did this it blames humans for the extinction of the male northern white rhinos and plenty of apologies to sit down on behalf of mankind but messages like this one from fifty year are fifteen year old who is based in the u.k. and she's also an animal rights campaigner she's encouraging people to see his death as a turning point in saving rhinos from extinction contact's a politician is also another example that's being mentioned out there by this one

this is to the rhino fund this is set up especially for sudan it says it's enough it's not enough to just offer thoughts and prize action is also needed but also another interesting way of raising funds and awareness on illegal horn poaching with the rhinos is arts and set sonny is a south african graffiti artist who's been traveling the walls with his latest wildlife protection campaign called to the bone he's painted all sorts of animals as a polar bear that and this one hair is just a very can see a bit better there and that's. off the on a building in the k. it's a mural that was. put that especially to ways that sort of awareness well and the walls of the largest rhino sculpture stands tall in new york it's a tribute c sedan and his two daughters an artist jamie and mark called it the last three and hope that will mobilize people around the world to stop the illegal trade in horn sculptures all exact replicas of the rhinos and then make his have

one it's at them and research them in kenya to make sure that they are absolute records but jamie and mock have also everyone to take a photo of the sculpture just like they did there in new york as stunning with some friends they want people to share on social media with the hashtag goodbye rhinos but some people believe in a far more radical solution to ending quite saying this one here is the world's largest private ryan fama that's john hume and he's cutting off their horns he's one of many who believe that the only way to save the rhino from extinction is to legalize poaching a human featured in this clip you're about to see from a documentary film called trophy. poachers will shoot every last one because there's a commercial driven design. people are confused about hunting

conservation go together you can just whenever animal you want they offer you see the price and but. then that money will go back into conservation about for that took it far for a lot of. the risk to be just save the rug out from extinction so i want to keep around as i live on the black market the return value of the school would be a quarter million dollar. race and. it will take two years before he goes i'm just going. to be. one of the next to. be huge and he. is not the one. well rhinos have been around for over fifty million years and they haven't changed month since prehistoric times living mainly in asia and africa but there are now

only five remaining species alive those of the white rhino black rhino the indian jargon and sumatran reiner very few survive outside a protected areas and there are only an estimated twenty nine thousand rhinos left on this planet in south africa being home to eighty percent of them they are disappearing very very rapid rate but the tipping point came in two thousand and eight demand for rhino horns in the china fueled poaching and smuggling and it's also fueled by by is leaving rhino horn has medicinal benefits which by the way now in a moment we'll be hearing from the director of international projects at the zoo where sudan once lived but would also like to hear from you at home on this story or any other stories you find me on twitter and you can comment live at the moment on facebook sarah thank you well al jazeera science and technology program techno went to what's called a frozen zoo in the u.s. three years ago so geneticists there are keeping cells from more than

a thousand species in cold storage in the hope of reviving extinct animals one day they're also studying genetic rescuing restoring badly endangered species to full genetic health take a look the goal of genetic rescue is to restore an endangered species to full genetic health with today's rapidly improving genetic technologies the cells at the pros do could be used to reproduce healthy offspring for these endangered populations revolutionary genetic development occurred in january when a team of boston and japanese researchers found a remarkable new easy way of creating stem cells from mice. stem cells are capable of becoming any cell type in the body and this new discovery is promising. well it's huge nobody knows whether it's possible in the rhino but if it could be done in the mouse point out in the rhino. hope is to transform stem cells from

a northern white rhino into both egg and sperm cells to create a white rhino embryo. would have to embryo transfer it into a surrogate surrogate would be southern white rhinos which are more plentiful and which we have need producing here at the san diego zoo safari park so a sara mentions a moments ago will now speak to yan stay scal he's the director of international project said for kroll of zoo that's the zoo where a sit down the rhino came from is joining us via skype thanks very much for joining us just to first tell us how big a loss is the death of sudan. good evening. it was definitely very said jay and for all people that you see you know it was very touching on the other hand if you speak about the genetic risk you're going to want rhinos we have to admit actually we store all digital examples that are necessary fortunately the risk you know the right notes and you have to even see

them still in so we got to go we're saving all the white rhinos nothing is really change the sudan so that's what i wanted to ask you about because you have previously previously said that even if sudan died there would still be a chance that he could have offspring so can you explain a little more off how exactly that's going to happen because we know that now there are only two female northern white rhinos left. you know that's true the thing is they actually we are not even in a better position than we were a few years ago despite effect that there were more animals still alive but not right and the reason is that during this time we developed techniques of articulation reproduction that would help us to save and especially i speak about harvesting acts from the last owners from the last e-mails that leave here you know . and these eggs could be done through the life of semen from the old light males that deceased already that distort and have stored even semen from sudan asked to

do x. mas fertilized then it would be produced embryos and these embryo could be put into a surrogate mother of a cell to write an oration so this is one way actually students still could contribute to having a node y. rind of baby to be for and the other way through a stem cell research as was said by quoting some sunday consume actually even from a genetic material from stone that was saved yesterday immediately after he passed away you could do stem cells and it's through stem cells you could get to is can meet the needs to his sperm and then the way would be to same as we did extant would be harvested from the life on earth and so again would be considered to produce and really to be true and implanted into a surrogate mother so i understand in my so unbelievable it's it's true so not something not quite unbelievable but rather good news but how revolutionary are these procedures and have they worked on other species. yes he says if we talk

about harvest of x. it has been done on a commercial level in cattle or in horses so there is a proof of concept for this because have to adjust it for rhinos and to be honest be developed the need for during the last two years of the are pretty sure that i believe in coming months we would be unable to come to attention to a game and attempted out of instinct x. from the females so if you take this way re speak about the kettle and horses and it has been done in them already if you speak about a stem cell research we cooperate with the japanese scientists whose name escapes me. and about two years ago he published a work in ricci actually made a mouse from a skin cell so everything was done in detroit so we have a proof of concept even in disc way that is that it was done on mammals so it could be done in memos of course it would take some time and some phones even if it's feasible ok so you sound pretty confident that it can happen on that note we'll

leave it there we thank you very much for speaking to us on al-jazeera. thank you very much for. just a moment to tell us what's trending in the world of sports and it's all about. controversy in tennis and it's shaping up to be john.

still to tell us what people are talking about in sports thank you well there is a hot debate happening right now on the tennis circuit about equal pay and it's got

nothing to do with the play as it involves to form a grand slam champions who are now in the commentary box martina navratilova who's won forty nine may just singles and doubles titles has found out that she gets paid ten times less the whoa work on the b.b.c.'s coverage of wimbledon than john mcenroe who himself has sixteen grand slam titles to his name and she's pretty upset. it's shocking if really then this happens to me than you know for me it's a part time job it's two weeks of my life. but for the women that work there full time it's extremely unfair and you know and makes me angry for the other women that i think go through this b.b.c. might say well john mcenroe does more hours so he's on had longer ten times as much i don't think so and i don't know the details of what's going on. and i don't think it's appropriate i certainly feel like it's going to be appropriate real soon to

comment because it's somehow making him like poor john emacs the bad guy in this and so. we'll see what happens well the b.b.c. issued a lengthy response to its own panorama programme which on covered this story it said john and monsignor perform different roles in the team and jones role is of a different scale scope and time commitment they are simply not comparable it goes on the b.b.c. believes her pay reflects what she is off to do her time commitments her level of broadcast experience profile and track record and expertise they then say about john mcenroe he is widely considered to be the best expert slash commentator in the sports genda isn't a factor. one surprisingly this has generated a big argument on social media billie jean king who's considered one of the greatest players in the women's game applauds martina saying speaking out takes

guts and it's time for companies in every industry to take swift action on equal pay tennis journalist to many kerio doesn't sit on the fence tweeting only one of these people puts insufficient effort is actually good at this job and it certainly isn't mcenroe but a british journalist who's also a campaigner for men's issues says hey perhaps john mcenroe is ten times more entertaining outspoken and interesting than martina navratilova no it must be about gender everything is in two thousand and eighteen well you may not have heard of them but football club in london has been going for one hundred twenty five years they should be enjoying a successful season on the pitch but instead they're fighting to stop their identity from being removed lee wellings has the story. tucked away in south london a football club the served its community for one hundred twenty five years it was

built by american property investors named but when the local council didn't agree to the plans the company suddenly kicked the club out of its heart and even stated their attention to remove permission for dollar charlot to use their own nine this should be much time for a dollar football club with hundreds of people in the community poor thing into the ground so watch that same plan instead the ground is locked a new fencing has been erected to keep them out was the was being used as leverage like this has been a shock to fans of what is a friendly and socially conscious club with a track record for staging games for charlton most notably becky g.'s on a bitterly cold day hundreds of them gathered to stage a protest we were the second example to the club that is threatens. nothing to do with the community and

everything to do with the value of money are really the matter is serious enough to have been braised in the u.k. column and this is an increase of clubs which prioritises and space is a huge protests like a t.v. rights for protesters women in football and you see that on. a saturday afternoon and i think i hung less fighting for their existence but not so long although it was respectful nothing like telling a league rivals to sing in which a mother twelve kilometers away quickly offered to share that ground and so much tie against worthing happens a dilate. refusing to let this affect them on the pitch by with a match three nil to reach the top of their division the promotion to level six of english football within their reach the. fans with their hundred comforts but this is about survival and pride yes when such a manic couple weeks in just the high. liker turnout today is such a testament to the power behind the club and just look at its behind it show you

cannot win on this you know i think they should just take the money whatever money is on the table and leave suffolk county says it will try to buy the ground from the club and events it into talks with the meds i would not own saudis it was a request for an interview and to answer a simple question if their intentions are honorable then what aggressively threaten to remove a club's one hundred twenty five year old ny the english football association has yet to intervene i might be powerless to but they told me they're monitoring developments the question beyond this call of london is one joel call. what's i intend to do with it this club will not be frozen out. self funding. well. stories using the hash tag a.j. news grid or tweet me at jackass or osca back more at eight hundred g.m.t. for now hundred back to daryn joe thank you and that'll do it for this news group

you can keep in touch with us on social media the hostile is a.j. news for it all the other ways to connect are right there behind me barbara sarah and our colleagues over in london will take over in just a moment with more of the day's news including that meeting between the saudi crown prince and the u.s. president happening very shortly we'll see you back here studio fourteen on wednesday. the scene for us where there are on line what is a very new sign in yemen that peace is almost possible but it never happens not because the situation is complicated but because no one cares or if you join us on

sat there people that there are choosing between buying medication and eating this is a dialogue i want to get in one more comment because this is someone who's an activist who's close to the story joined the global conversation at this time on al-jazeera the sams in archaeology graduate from iraq he's also a part time going to billings pergamon museum which includes a reconstruction of the famous ishtar gate in babylon most of the people he's showing around came to germany as refugees this is just one of several building museums taking part in the project called multicultural meeting point and as well as bringing people together one of its aims is to emphasize the contribution of migrants right up to the present day to western culture of peace and language he had been because i've been. here for some time i can help them with lots of things but loses forward to me the great thing is it's not just about museums about forming a new life is a part of life it's culture a scandal which rocked the nation to its core and exposed hundreds of schools

official. brides just to show the most dangerous school movie team on and sometimes take a spot or diffuse to blow up a custom of fine things judicial corruption doesn't. come of that might come in an exclusive documentary al-jazeera examined one man's extraordinary battle for justice in ghana. the white house prepares to welcome saudi arabia's crown prince who's you there for talks with president trump. hello i'm barbara starr you're watching al-jazeera live from london thank you for joining us.
