china's big brother is always watching at home and abroad. one on one east of best agaves how far china will go to control its citizens. on obviously. just these is instancing to just. some journalists decided to sacrifice their integrity for out in the media opinion the listening post at this time on al-jazeera. this is zero. for them to have until all that this is the news hour live from london coming up. and i said well if you want to say maybe even have to pay. president trump says

saudi arabia might have to pick up the bill for u.s. forces in syria. presidents could send america one and i was russia to speed up the delivery of an air defense missile system to turkey. the california headquarters of you chip have been evacuated this place respond to reports of a gunman on the list. this is just the start french oil workers begin their first day of rolling strikes that are set to run for months. and then peter stands in doha with all the day's sport it's real madrid to hand down to three no hiding against juventus in the champions league quarter final first leg that moved clay to this new zone. a very warm welcome to the u.s. president trump says he is close to pulling u.s.

troops out of syria as the fight against eisel is only as complete and he added that their continued presence may depend on someone else third saying the bell let's go straight to alan fischer who's in washington hi there alan so take us through more of what trump said. ok to do this you go to start a week ago so follow me through here now we could go donald trump was in ohio at a big political rally there he suddenly said that we are going to pull out of syria and that withdrawal is imminent and there was general george dropping around washington because people in the establishment had thought and had said that the united states is in there for the long haul they were looking at establishing a base even though the syrians is said that this was a blatant breach of their sovereignty this was something that the americans were working on no you'll know that the americans are currently in syria to advise and to train people who are fighting against deisel now it seems that there has been a shift in donald trump's position because he was at the white house for a news conference with baltic leaders just in the last couple of hours and there he

said his position it changed ever so slightly and that once the job is done then they'll start pulling out of syria one of the things that has always concerned donald trump from when he was candidate donald trump he's president donald trump is the cost of america's military adventures and he's aware that the operation in syria is costing hundreds of millions of dollars he's also aware that there are many others who would like to see the united states continue their operations in syria but he made the point very clearly putting pressure on some of his allies one in particular that if they want to continue to do that then they're going to have to stump up. the primary mission in terms of that was getting rid of isis we've almost completed that task and will be making a decision very quickly in coup ward nation with others in the area as to what we'll do saudi arabia. is very interested in our decision and i said well you

want to say maybe you can have to pay but a lot of people you know we do a lot of things in this country we do on. for we we do it for a lot of reasons but it's very costly for a country and it helps other countries hell of a lot more that it helps us. allan sticking with them saudi arabia we are mentioned there what about these phone calls that trumps had with the saudis and cuts a race what message did he want to get across. well they were talking to the saudis on monday don't transport to. king solomon and said that they discussed usual thing matters of common interest including what they describe as the growing influence of malign influence of iran in the region and agreed to what together donald trump apparently said they would like to see the g.c.c. the gulf cooperation council come together again there has been this big split for

more than a year now and then elie are on tuesday there was a call with the emir of qatar and also donald trump the slight difference in the reading that we're getting out of door ha and the one we're getting out of washington in doha of saying that they had discussed not tears of mutual interest the washington said yet again they talked about the influence of iran and the good of the g.c.c. was together to combat that but also there's the other issue that's mentioned in the washington one that isn't mentioned in the door statement which is all about getting the g.c.c. together no just in the last owner some of the reports coming out of washington via reuters which suggest of course that the united states was planning to have a big summit sometime in late april early may perhaps even at camp david bringing all the g.c.c. parties together to discuss what was going on and perhaps come up with some sort of solution it no appears that the idea of a summit which was never unknowns is going to be delayed certainly till late into

the autumn that is for a number of reasons one donald trump doesn't have a section of state at the moment is still waiting for my computer to be confirmed that could take a while there's the potential meeting with the north korean leader kim jong il and that's going to take up a lot of time as well lot of bandwidth and the third thing and probably the most important thing is after those conversations perhaps the americans don't see the possibility of some sort of solution coming out of any summit so they could invest a lot of time a lot of political capital and walk away with absolutely nothing not. something that the trump white house ever likes to do remember he's the man who talks about the art of the deal so unless there's some sort of god in t. of progress of movement then they're not going to have the summit and certainly not in the next few weeks fisher there joining me live from washington d.c. alan thank you well to flesh this all i would submit further i'm joined now by senior political analyst marwan bashara someone let's start with this message from

charm to the saudis basically saying if you want our continued support against isis you're going to have to to pay up is not to some degree a demeaning message. well it's certainly not conventional in international relations for a country especially like the united states to function like a mercenary if you pay then we would put our soldiers like a private contractors at your service in syria or or or any elsewhere it's really problematic for the world's superpower the one that is responsible for the new world order since second world war the one that has actually managed to be the custodian of that order for seven decades now to be moving into these pretty transactional modes whereby if you are or the rich then we will be at your service we will put our soldiers at your service and the service every whims whether it's in syria in yemen where it is problematic in every possible way that marwan we also

house and alan fischer mentioned there that the gulf american summit at looks like it's going to be postponed how is that significant well look i mean there's a good number of reasons. i tend to be suspicious about these things i will not take anything face value especially statements coming from officials i think on the one hand the united states while it does want gulf unity on the america i think president trump is having a good time exploiting this crisis certainly he's milking the various gulf countries in a major way i mean it was embarrassing already even for the crown prince the way he put that sign saying we're selling you this much hundreds of millions this much billions of dollars in arms while they were meeting in the white house later on for every possible service he would ask for money in return and he has done that with the united arab emirates with qatar or saudi arabia with kuwait and so on so forth

i think he's not unhappy with that that's one too clearly in terms of qatar i mean they have already and we've heard that from the various contacts they have already implemented everything that the americans demanded of them and their arms of financing terror and terms of coordinating on a strategic level and so on so forth. i think the united arab emirates does not want to deal with qatar at this point in time and i think so is not that enthusiastic for the deal why for the simple reason and i've always argued that for almost a year now it's very hard to climb down a palm tree can we expand the money men you know are let go they say it's very hard it's very hard to climb down a tree once you made a big mistake i think there were others in the saudis made the mistake of hacking the qatari news service and launching a kind of psychological warfare against qatar and they're almost wanted to invade

got that according to various intelligence reports and then it all backfired and then it was all would always clear for everyone including the trump or in the beginning supported the united arab emirates and saudi arabia that this was all wrong and that got it does combat terror and it does have a major american base and that it is an ally of the united states also for so the saudis and the americas need to climb down the tree because they made a big miss of it and now it's been almost a year but in the gulf it's not just any three it's a palm tree it's very difficult to climb down upon that some are one if trump is naming the u.s. and its supports away from us serving the world model to pay for our support model what does that tell us about their world view more generally it's very simplistic and it's very transactional he's trying to imitate what barack obama did but in a completely wrong way but obama said look we cannot be the custodians of the world

alone. yes we were the initiator of the creator and guardians of this world order for several decades but now europe has resigned and china is out there and russia is returning and this course you know the rest of the world like india and others and everyone wants a barrel so the united states needs to share the leadership as well as the responsibilities you know and the pay for whatever the world needs to do is he wanted to be a multilateral ward older yes perhaps led by the united states but along with other countries president trump comes in with a totally more simplistic naive way of saying forget about the world order we don't care about the world that we're losing in this world or that the trade is the working against us and security is working good nato is not serving us we're serving it's a new two members are not paying their bit and the gulf countries are paying their

share and so so far so from now on guys if you want us to help in anything if you want to trade with us if you want our security you're going to have to pay up well the problem with that is that russia would make the same offer to its clients france would make the same offer china of difference would be making the same offer and hence we would have an entire world like a like a like a tower of babel whereby everyone is is financing an arm and everyone else and it's going to be a big chaotic mess. and thank you thank you. for that place in california say they're dealing with a gunman and they offices if you can see here piece searching people leaving the offices in san bruno as close to san francisco airport well for more let's go to a brand outs in a santa this and rob what else do we know at this stage. well julie the police in san bruno say they have could they have confirmed that the they're dealing with an

active shooter situation that in a tweet some time ago also a local hospital say that they are receiving casualties from the incident but we don't know at this point how many people were injured we have no confirmed information about that there is an unconfirmed report that one person in a body bag was taken from the you tube headquarters in san bruno we've seen videos posted online and also appearing on local television news stations showing a very heavy police presence outside the you tube headquarters with ambulances and fire engines also on hand of the videos show columns of heavily armed police rushing into the building and as you showed a moment ago employees being evacuated and being searched for weapons as they left the you tube headquarters the city manager in san bruno conny jackson reported a short while ago that the shooting is over that there is no longer any ongoing

shooting and she said there is no immediate danger at the moment to the people in the area i would caution that initial reports early reports from an incident of this type almost inevitably turn out to be confused with a lot of error so we don't know who was involved in perpetrating this act and i would also point out that some people online on twitter and elsewhere are also already posting false information putting forward their own political agendas so a lot of things that we don't know yet but to summarize a shooting at the you tube headquarters near san francisco an unknown number of the injured we don't know if anyone has been killed and we know that the incident is now according to authorities contained and the shooting has stopped julie brandau live from california with the latest on that story as well thank you. and

russia has agreed to speed up the delivery of the s.s. four hundred a air defense missile system to turkey the move was announced by president vladimir putin and his turkish counterpart reject tire bordeaux and after talks in move the two leaders also launched the construction of turkey's first nuclear power plant some a binge of aid reports now from uncle. it's a special occasion for turkey to be part of the nuclear power generating club this is the site of the twenty billion dollars a q u power plant which is scheduled to begin operations by twenty twenty three the leaders of russia and turkey said it will have a workforce which is already under training in russia it's the first foreign visit by president vladimir putin since he was reelected last month he chose nato member turkey which has become a staunch russian partner in recent months or so just you would know today we're not just inaugurated the first atomic power plant but we're laying the foundations

for turkey to have an atomic industry so we're building a whole new sector turkey is a highly developed economic state but this is a new step in the history of a turkish republic besides the power plant the two countries are forging defense economy in strategic ties both countries are working on a major gas pipeline which will provide hydrocarbons with the growing energy needs they accuse birches of russian s. four hundred missile defense system has been criticized by its nato allies who is in between the two countries is worth more than twenty six billion dollars a year and the turkish president is hopeful that russian help he can push the economy to be among the top ten in the world by twenty thirty three trucks is that if we are enacting many strategic projects together with russia the s four hundred strategic missile defense system and the turks stream pipeline are just some of the projects we're working on the nuclear power plant is another and we will also address the terror threat and conflict in syria. civilian nuclear technology

defense and the economy are sectors where turkey and russia have common interests turkey's geopolitical position plays an important role in its relationship with moscow but ankara is increasingly having to play a difficult balancing act between being a nato ally and partners with a country which many in the alliance see as a threat. hoochie rebels have struck a saudi oil tanker in the red sea off yemen's port city hall day that's according to saudi owned television who say they targeted the tanker in response to an airstrike in her tape that killed at least fourteen civilians seven of them children the u.n. says the strike was one of the deadliest attacks on children since society led coalition began its aerial campaign in twenty fifteen. trains have been canceled across france as railway workers strike against president a man well like holmes planned reforms in paris just one in four trains has been

running as well unions demand the government give up its plans to cut benefits and pensions and tasha butler reports from paris. it was chaos for commuters in paris as the rail strike began to hit with most trains cancelled many passengers were left stranded some stations were nearly empty as many travelers chose to stay home or take alternative transport i think the strikes are justified you have to defend public services and everyone has the right to strike but i believe the rail uprighted must be reformed. drugs israel unions have called for three months of rolling strikes and protests they're angry over the government plans to reform the national rail company s.n.c.f. and scrap some of the workers' special privileges such as early retirement. are not backing down we won't give up these fights or give in to the government school of the objects or not we are protesting far blights as well workers and to keep our privileges france's government says s.n.c.f.

must change as it's deep in debt and must prepare for twenty twenty when the french rail network will be open to foreign competition and the e.u. rules like eastern six with reform this reform is necessary for commuters yet in seattle where workers so it must be completed many people in france they did these strikes will be a man or michael's biggest test since he came to power in there he has promised to transform france's economy and he's been pushing ahead with an ambitious reform agenda but it will not be easy to reform essences. if macro fails the remainder of his presidential term will be tarnished as a huge failure on the other hand if he succeeds he will be seen in the months and years to come as someone who was capable of reaching out to the unions and doing exactly what he was elected to do and that was to reform the country reform. past presidents have tried and failed to reform s.n.c.f. makower is determined to succeed much now will depend on the result of france's

powerful trade unions its al-jazeera paris. the head of porson down military research facility has said that his scientists have not verified that the nerve agent used in seoul street came from russia or job but then the whole of this investigation is and was to identify the agent used which is from the family of nova chuck nerve agents we provided that information to the government who have then used a number of other sources to come to the conclusions that they have an end to the diplomatic steps that they have i can only emphasize that our job within this whole . episode if you like is to provide scientific facts and evidence and inputs which was identification of the agent and that's what we've done or president putin at his news conference and ancora cited that statement as providing support for the

russian position. school school because he assumes the scotland yard is on record for saying they need a couple of months to complete this investigation within the framework of information i have been given the head of the defense laborde treat which is based eight kilometers from the location where the incident took place told news agencies that they were not able to detect the country of origin that the agent was from they could not tell if it was manufactured in russia and they were not able to make that clear. well richard guthrie's a chemical weapons expert and runs the organization c b w event which researches the history of chemical and biological weapons he joins me live via skype from back in the west of england m. hi there richard a very warm welcome to the program richard when they say it porson death and that they've not established the nerve agent was made in russia what does that mean. well as i mean a limited amount of information you can do from any scientific analysis you can

look at the constituents of a sample now there are times that sometimes that will tell you useful things so you might have evidence of the products that we used. in order to get the final result you can never tell where something is from unless you know all the possible places it could have been manufactured and all the routes to manufacture or to synthesize something so the statement from portadown is not surprising. returned one of the other things that was said garry aiken head the chief executive denies russian claims that have been made that the substance could have come from ports in devon itself so can you make no word shark in a lab anywhere. you can make it anywhere but certainly western laboratories took an interest in nova chucks when they were first talked about in the early one nine hundred ninety s. when russian scientists who've been working on them went public with some of the details of their research part of that information that was released was that the

nova chucks would be easily detected by a lot of west and chemical detection equipment there for most western and government trees that deal with defense did some exploration into what the possible compounds could be that would fall in the nova chucks categories but you only need to produce a very small amount to do the sorts of work they need to do so to test detection equipment to test whether a gas mask filter will intercept that particular compound and the sorts of amounts that you would need for something like an attempted murder. are a bit higher than the sorts of quantities that anybody would have been looking at in making it so if anybody were to try and divert that that would be very noticeable with an elaborate tree and richard why do you think it is that the u.k. government is so adamant and has made diplomatic moves that reflect this that the nerve agent did in fact come from russia. want to. do

a quick thought experiment there's been a very simple compound a very simple poison such as hard like one of the simplest poisons to make and that had been used in this case a lot of the rest of the evidence in the context so who the victim walls and the sort of activities that had happened in the past such as the litvinenko poisoning in two thousand and six and at that point a lot of people would still be looking tools for the russians to say this looks as if it's. poisoning project coming from your direction the nova chucks just another level to that. and richard. do you think that this is i mean i'm guessing this commentary is going to go on for quite sometime but is the reality in the detective work that's required to find out how the sample was made and where it came from that it's likely that we won't ever know who created this sample. it's likely to

be a very challenging problem difficult because you can. get some points to separate these two. i think for the first two of them are consistently. that everett's have got. birkhead who runs the organization w e then said joining me there do apologize for the quality of the sound there towards the end. at the u.n. refugee agency says it's disappointed by israel cancelling a deal to relocate half the african refugees living in the country just hours after it was announced prime minister benjamin netanyahu faced intense pressure from right wing groups over the deal which would have let at least sixty thousand africans stay and seen another sixteen thousand resettled in western countries stef deca reports television.

the deal was on then it was off this was the reaction in tel aviv by some who had hoped the tens of thousands of asylum seekers from eritrea and sudan would finally have their legal status resolved. is one of them he made the dangerous journey from eritrea in the horn of africa alone at the age of sixteen he's been here for six years and is fluent in hebrew he shows us his immigration papers that he needs to renew every two months shit. that is the first of all there is racism in this country and this is a difficult disease especially among the politicians this we could have dealt with but then there's the issue that the government takes twenty percent of the money we make and puts in a deposit we can only see this money when we leave the country this puts huge pressure on us. the deal would have seen just over sixteen thousand african asylum seekers resettled in western countries under the auspices of the united nations and in exchange israel would process and resolve the status of up to twenty thousand

others who would remain in the country something it hasn't done it also replacing ultimatum issued by the israeli government last year be deported to an unknown african country or face an indefinite time in jail but activists tell us that even this now cancelled deal which put some hope was floored this is the first time we had a chance to take part to take responsibility to share the burden with the world and say look. it's hard for us blah blah blah even though it's not hard we're benefiting it canonically honor but i'd say it's hard for us we're going to stay where we're going to take our we're going to take our share and taking refugees we're actually from the modern state from a democracy state we're trading we're saying ok we're we can't even take care of sixty thousand we're throwing them back to the world many of the african asylum seekers we've been speaking to live here in southern tel aviv and they will tell you that there was a short lived moment of hope but now it is back to the uncertainty that they have

experiencing here for years and they say they don't know what is really government will do next these people have been living in a legal limbo for years under the constant threat of prison or deportation we're told this is all part of a systematic strategy to force them to leave israel human rights activists say this is an inherently racist policy aimed to preserving the identity of israel as an exclusively jewish state and it appears that a plan that would allow up to twenty thousand asylum seekers to stay in israel and get some form of legal status was something that those in the countries far right didn't tolerate for even hoffa day stephanie decker al-jazeera. still to come on the news our chairs and spoke suffice or as they did view on the stock markets. tough we're also passed a malaysian meeting time in jail for people who spread what the government deems to be fake news. the man known as the king of the biathlon calls it

corruption of money laundering last year and wants to be allowed to exhaust his appeals process before the sentence comes into force the rallies calling for lunacy arrest to set state play some more than forcing cities across the country latin america edison lucien human joins us now live from sao paolo hi there lists so what message is that the protests to specifically want to get across. was really there is no understating the political passions that brazil's most beloved and also most hated politician. is awakening can awaken in this country. is asking the supreme court tomorrow by his argument that he cannot be sent to prison just sit out a trial that not half year corruption sentence until every last appeal has been exhausted but why is that important because people here say that he is still the most popular politician in this country i had a couple talk which presidential elections and he could be at least in theory

a presidential candidate and that's what all these people that you see here many of them are carrying these inflatable dolls all dressed in prison garb there and saying that he has to go to prison now not only because they believe that he is guilty of widespread corruption but also because they say it would send a very dangerous precedent it would allow for the release for example of the girders of high ranking publications and business leaders who are currently in prison as part of the widespread lama's drop the corruption probe that has rocked the country and has actually extended beyond brazil in the past few years or so and there are a lot of america haters out there joining us live from. interrupting. our latin america is so there to bring you now a press conference from san bruno close to san francisco where a show's who was apparently on the loose our air let's listen then. several minutes

later at an adjacent business is the extent of all of the injuries of our victims. are i right knowing right now they were all transported forwards your medical care but they are all unknown so if i missed that we have we have four victims who have all been transported before or gunshot really. course means he's have responded to assist we're very grateful for everyone's help and assistance but we could not have responded to this without of what is help this is an active advance in an active investigation and. law enforcement personnel from numerous different local agencies are still conducting a search of the business just to make sure that it is clear we conducted a quick immediate. search of the premises when the first officer arrived just pursue the tractor shooter protocol but after that search was concluded now we're going through with

a methodical slow search just to make sure that we cover all the bases that's all i have for you at this time we hope to have something a little later i cannot give you cannot give you the time of the next press update that will put that out as soon as we have that information. though i cannot confirm that. it's a female. but. my understanding is that they they all are they've been transported they're being treated for injuries that are treatable and they're hoping for the best obviously there are people like. my understanding is the building has been evacuated there are people in the immediate area we're obviously trying to contact a large amount of people to try to identify him and gave me permission from witnesses at the scene so you can imagine some monumental task with a number closer. to try to help out what might or might i don't have that

information i'm sure. we have i haven't even i don't take an inventory of all the sure there are numerous agencies we work well with our neighboring partners and we're grateful that they're here but there's a lot of. yes you see what well what i want to clarify that we did fight we did locate a victim with a with a what we believe to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to female. but the investigation is still ongoing before we can put all the pieces together personally and i have no i don't have any information we're going to bring others here we are clearing the building and searching the building in a slow methodical manner like we do anyway so we haven't eliminated that possibility but we have no information to suggest that there's somebody somebody else in the world. i will be listening in the here on al-jazeera so that piece calling for a press conference there dealing with the shooting near san francisco and something let's bring in the average reynolds in the scientists has been following this story

for us and rob so you were listening in there on that press conference can just sum up for us what we know so far well according to the chief of police from san bruno california barberini there were four people wounded in this incident one person is dead the wounded reportedly taken to the stanford hospital near san francisco one of them is in critical condition a male another person gender unknown is in serious condition there may be more people brought in but at the moment according to chief barbara any there are four people who were wounded one person was found with this dead with a self-inflicted gunshot wound that was a female person the police would not say whether that was in fact the person responsible for the shooting but many local law enforcement local television

stations quoting local law enforcement have said that the shooter in this instance was a was it was a woman. so that is about it that what we know so far we also know that there was some sort of celebration going on in a courtyard there at the you tube headquarters in san bruno the the person with the gun began shooting from inside in other words did not storm into the building from the street so this is these are just a few of the bits of information we're getting as chief barber really said this is a ongoing investigation an active crime scene and more information will be coming out shortly but thank goodness at this point it seems that this was not a mass casualty event well panels there live for the latest on that story from california rob thank you and the online music streaming service spotify has gone public on the new york stock exchange jan racing excitement from investors the shares have been trading at about a quarter higher than they're citing value the values the company itself had about

thirty billion dollars the company is that a major will in changing have people listen to you and also pay for means that well joining us is a scott this is tim mulligan he's the research director and senior analyst at mit i research that's a media and technology analysis company there were markham to the program tim how significant is it to see spotify on the stock exchange it's a major moment so this is a a day that the music industry has long been until the paty and a big part of the reason is if you look at the the valuation which spotify house today compared to the entire recorded music industry. spotify is actually now worth more new time called the music industry so media research is estimates for the recorded music industry twenty seventy seven point two billion dollars in

annual revenue spotify today more or less for two billion dollars market cap what does this mean for the music industry if you know it's spotify considered to be a music company or a technology company and what does it mean more broadly for the way that the music industry develops itself so you've hit the nail on the head there how do you categorize what spotify is considering a house search a huge influence on the music industry as a whole so spotify out she is a technology company look at the actual name of the public entity has been listed stay it spotify technology as say it's been listed so it's a technology company that uses music is core product offering to consumers so this creates a challenge for music companies which are their core they're about selling content music content whereas spot of four is a technology company using music as

a way to build their technology distribution business. tim in terms of its competitors and i know everybody has their streaming service the main some people love a spot of fries for somebody else it might be a visa or how despite a five compare what makes it better or worse or more lovable the rest so there are a number of things i mean right of the basics just have a have to look at the global reach of spotify to spotify is in sixty one markets so referred well approximately a third of the global. global market and they have. close not quite market dominance but they account for forty percent of global music streaming revenues and they have forty one percent sure subscribers share so there are huge individual impacts upon the music streaming marketplace and also longevity is another big factor in this spotify has that you could argue that

spotify has been at the forefront of leading the growth in streaming which is where the resurgence in music and music revenues are coming from so is seventeen point two billion dollars in recorded music revenues last year seven point two billion came from streaming streaming is at the forefront of this renascence has seen music returned to position growth after nearly two decades of the klein like a lot of these technology platforms after time you know after a period of time will spotify have to diversify into other things to keep itself chorus in the same with amazon have or will same with netflix they always seem to be adding on an extra bit to capture that next slice of the market what do you see a longer term for something like spotify so this is the challenge so spotify it whilst one level it may appear to be similar to netflix or similar to amazon sascha a fundamentally different company and

a fundamentally different value proposition for hours and hours and is primarily an e-commerce platform which uses content to draw consumers into its ecosystem to get netflix netflix in many ways very similar to spotify but there's kid difference netflix even though they're using video roll of new music as the content for their technology driven business netflix asking has multiple different providers to choose from for their contents as well as having fox me a third of their content produced richly now spotify does not have that luxury. in the recorded music sector there were free may does own the majority of market share and a number of independent labels alongside that as well spotify is not in a position to disengage itself from those free care companies that it needs for its content because that is content it can't grow and you're absolutely right they do need to think but diverse fine but they're too early in where they are as

a company and the service growth left ahead of and that's a a city challenge they can delay for the next few years was they continue to grow in acquire market. turmoil again thanks very much for joining me thank you you thank. now in sports tiger woods. will have all the. business updates. going places.
