i am. proud to extend the as a. ladder to. the in. am . at those dramatic scenes in the final of the nevins basketball championship in twenty fourteen years between l.t. and addict me are to some extent typical of the root of the sport has taken since

the early ninety's and. they also reflect sectarian and political developments in this turbulent country and the post civil war era up. there rivalries between what where the top two teams in the country reached its peak in the late ninety's and early two thousand and six when letting these basketball was enjoying its most successful period in terms of popularity funding and playing success. competition between the players and sectarian tension between fans often resulted in many riots like this in scenes reminiscent of football in europe and south america at their worst. is supported by mussina fans and their rivals at hackney by christians. and some of the problems within the sport may simply be an expression of the sectarian

divisions. that afp league let in for decades and which are no closer to being resolved today. the captain of our reality at the height of their success was when he'd done nothing as a star player in the late nineties and to fancy the end. of. the end up. watching. the bottoms up of. his big rival was it b l hackney captain elaine shannon duff the two former captains now reflect on what made basketball such a force in their playing days on their an amazing on court success on their intense rivalry and on the national and sporting politics which have seen their

sport decline and their roles within it changed considerably. over the. other kilauea the connected if you take a look at the for russia sneeze. into the mob as she sets out but not by the. high at their daily she could look on a father can able to do it all now when they're back in a godly won't game what does about that can leave. it there that. these two men were dominant figures in lebanese basketball for a decade they commanded fanatical support and thousands of fans had their posters on their walls they were there were non toe and messy of their sport. legends along with other big names like fag. who still playing today.

because it was a help to. one of the other significant figures was the former president of camille says yes as the club is sometimes known on to launch weight. as heche was originally a sports club affiliated to such as of the now in our church they started playing

basketball in one thousand nine hundred ninety two when she known as the godfather of lebanese basketball began funding it. these aim was to transform the sport by developing a dream that all lebanese might support and with players like ancient tough he certainly produced on court success. poker. tshwane made and massive impact on at hackney and on living is basketball as a whole. coming from advertising he attracted sponsors did t.v. deals and while he was involved there was a buzz around the behooved basketball scene. and reality vs and hackney was the bin root derby and it meant everything especially to the former captain who really do not see the level of the you know that it would appear to.

have been a lot of. what there's a. bizarre vision. well i missed. by it killing way. the base missile for us will fail our fear. and i wish the. as well because the senate was up with our mayor. and hackneys former president ran in major advertising and media company which was influential not just in lebanon but across the middle east. he invested in several basketball clubs and some estimates say that he put nineteen million dollars into me to create his dream team. to understand the whole phenomenon of letting his basketball you have to go back to nineteen ninety two

king and. give them ammunition. scented little to same and warmish really. cage's it and how does but you see if you look at the n.b.a. and what then i'm seeing a bit like him who we eventually there lanie naming but to be young he was that

would hang for. one hundred hossa c.c. billy billy beane. as a daily elect and. futile then he made the shady little mini with the bar on the bush deed to what the other big daley felina not alone want us the hand of the bull. mockingly mean and up would have called them futile then given what they can do we hustle to cissy a lot of basketball and then maybe it's maybe the spirit. but the speed monotony ultimately think of as a must the men needed me i can. but he. really can your midfield of being behind lead sadly to be shipley be careful need a small yard little bit of the man but the capability but there are possibly malicious loss of a good thing but if a man or a leo the trick me set and the less equal of nini and witness equal america holly

and responding are highly classical good but a little bit sloppy lately what they do you are the old whitney oh my china mr will be your plea is heard if you look in. the water i did buter that was our legacy but that them are only people is another key element of trades plan to form a dream team was the experienced coach. who took charge of me in one thousand nine hundred ninety two lebanon can most but a machine or a mass in the act of evil said. at the same m.r. you. suck as a small general or one of them are as a family law passed to show me. one. of the mob know when i'm up and show me something about the give me the id community i mean the same but me a minister or michelle bennett or the. head of the board. will

shine a general arm of the mob to sane alleged bit of king and it. just had the need the fan and ned in you in two or in a moment because all. more than cover the court's order came to the best song in the of the memphis a had some were some of them mad that i wish. it away on a field of fame not that awful. mess or hung. by your own for a while and maybe ask. a

i was. a big. about this to the shoes when i made. it money. but you must. have some kind of. we do we want to. school i want to. go i couldn't do it because. by then. to separate that. from horn i did not have. known anything.

because he. is a. symbol for the symbol. of the shots mentally ill we. all. looked at him in the mind and when he had been. near the. shows. in focus i would not be. what they see. me all day and in. weeks. hell she is a bit back then if as many of them i can see a sickening feeling to be. another wouldn't be the norm.

again gillis zambesi doctors and we have as a general mission all. again i had done as of at that an office in a safe haven of man when it hit me that the board nor the man know about a machine and the and i'm in no way i wanna keep the no kill file he can undo do you know i will assure phoebe day be dated three you all songs with the walk now blue nor who are you and got a five hundred. fifty shot out can you do on the leash i don't want to even need to leave you and he can coud come in and shot the month but he would do we need to be .

with the collision. as it would be on me and i felt she would help me if i was some benayoun gay man to hack any sod fixing it a listen say you son. will not a. lot us mama must move in or near did it all day and in the. night it had many mussy hey when he did messin that all the mess in this there will only be muscle in a way exotic there ritual coverage would have lead people who would. had the. didn't see. and

see who would. you do when. see you down here below the get it if you missed it it made sense to me that a young kid but look at this moment during the n.b.c. couldn't let the folks in to talk from the point where you heard them whatever intentions will the father help me. have been missed or he was at the market for you and the same machine it was the bottle it audibly he was having a while but when it was on the a deafening sound that way you can but that none only move. but that you could if you were. cylinder didn't know at the time you know status i believe that z.

is the brother that's am still leadership of the heat i spotted a calm billy at the top of the other let be what the trust in us believe their feet in the heat wave and look and feel the ticket animal but out the all the fuck up get under the clean feet and be good little young. look you need of the other king manuel. is or was a lady i want to feed her to us and we eat up the last month to pollute the kinky can come in a can and the segment he used to follow humans and it is a human is it was keyboard. come in give. them a wish you had that it is a but that it can see that light elaborate to so that it looks.

and heck missile was built around lebanon's most successful coach has sent seconds he's a controversial figure having coached at hackney from the one nine hundred ninety two to one thousand nine hundred ninety four but then moving to under law in one thousand nine hundred ninety five. he was lured back to hackney for their golden period from one nine hundred ninety seven to two thousand and three before returning again to other yagi that would be like coaching riyal madrid then moving to barcelona and back again twice and then there's the politics.

be a lot mellower up in a possible didn't because we've got. a. little reality about their. but mark would mean named bill bennett name a limit make the any stuff at that minute. what's going to be a has been missionary. then is about the captain of that anomaly you would much rather palomar be a lush ne shift. that they. had that well i'm. going to. get it done for the top of my life when feel lucky but we can. sound i'm up about. something thought out of. the chair of unfunny on your own that upon him that if you have to block pass a little for it we must take in some yes i will.

a me one account that you don't know hundred members refutable of one's way to me in chief and to look at is not a hellish utterly and the further a hard monologue. it's a good machine if i'm on a homicide i'm only one i'm family i'm really not number the number real. mushing for me i will be not good at it without. knowing economic. model can love me me i was. definitely in love with. cheerful funny. little. i think. some of us

a lot of the. collection of the thing all. looks out of all us. like if you has moved the committee the. individual training toughness is of adulthood like a hollywood mogul. loses a few flaws a cut at the last. minute to say in a very what they can the a.b.a. it actually i know for. a kid who's come on is under the expedia is a sign of how much is about that moment the loss of the the money the loss of the. booth and me and i'll enjoy success in lebanon but it was the christians and pick

me or suggest that became the first let me scrub to be on to make price at the peak of their play in progress. and. in a country with high youth unemployment one organization helps turn school children into entrepreneurs who can tell us what i mean by their wide fundraising empowering them to reclaim their futures we teach them out of this story in my shoes that is how to make the best face and build more prosperous communities some of the invest the money into the business of school from life uganda part of the rebel education series at this time on al-jazeera. the latest news as it breaks this was a great election about it was going to win but it was about by how much with detailed

coverage the syrian civil war though that said to speak what is the difference is that each the some people will live until to morrow many innocent people from around the world the bats and balls are several years old the really good players that end up trading wickets at headingley and maybe one day play for the national team. tracing the fall from prosperity to financial ruin this is beside the the movement where we humanized nothing worse first world the injury the devastating impact for save the burying means also to save the deposits for ordinary citizens and the failure to prevent disaster banks and political leaders of the people who need to learn of us our gora from democracy to the markets on al-jazeera.

hello i'm down in jordan in doha with a quick reminder of the top stories here on al-jazeera u.s. president donald trump says he'll make a decision shortly on how to respond to a suspected chemical weapons attack in syria trump says all options are on the table including military action dozens are said to have died in the doomer attack on saturday. well the attack was the focus of an emergency meeting of the u.n. security council there was a fiery exchange between the u.s. and russia which denies that happened moscow warned of grave consequences in the event of a u.s. strike on syria donald trump has described an f.b.i. raid at the home and office of his personal lawyer michael cohen as a disgrace and a total witch hunt at the center of a controversy involving the president and a porn star stormy daniels says she was paid to keep quiet about a sexual encounter with trump twelve years ago. china's president says he'll cut

tariffs on auto imports in the latest move in a trade with the u.s. xi jinping is also promising to offer a more level playing field for foreign firms president xi jinping on tuesday announced that he wanted to deepen economic reform in china he said he wanted to improve the investment environment for foreign companies doing business here well of course these were his first comments since the start of the current trade friction with the united states where president xi jinping said china didn't want to seek a trade surplus these could be regarded as conciliatory words by president xi jinping but while there were plenty of promises there was very little in the way of details especially when these new policies will be inforced malaysia will go to the polls in a month and a vote seen as a big test for the prime minister najib razak his ruling coalition has been in power for more than sixty years but not been dogged by a financial scandal. more than forty eight groups and charities are calling on south korea's president to press for human rights to be on the agenda during

a summit with the north's leader kim jong un the divided countries will hold their first official talks more than a decade on april the twenty seventh and colombia's peace process is looking more fragile after the arrest of a former negotiator for the flock rebel group who is wanted in the u.s. on charges of drug trafficking as a soundtrack was about to take a seat in parliament for the group which became a political party after a peace deal was signed in twenty sixteen those are the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after al-jazeera world states of france are watching live from. and i think that i would be up there in the burgeoning sport of basketball in lebanon in the late one nine hundred ninety two teams were serious rivals me and. nine hundred ninety eight hundred ninety made it through to the final stages of the champions cup the premier tournaments in asia by beating wriggle from hong kong by

the tightest margin at eighty two points to. the captain was aware. of where the first thought of the politics of the football was awful ok a couple of us on the front of the muslim brotherhood you will see a little bit as us doesn't want to lose. a bit but he was good enough to of. either kids elected him boy eleven or you know one wish he had a kid lived many years come here the the. clown a few daily. looking at a live in norway and she bust the money on him give me an animal for the machete it

was i mean enough. they can make you handle for the who have been let me in on it is it is it we assumed we would i mean. any nine hundred ninety eight and hackney made their own breakthrough by getting to the final of the air club championship against the jury the club dad. and mo out with then if you know that if you don't three what have you done mean almost nothing to what he did the full benefit album had to do you know more than any of you love that i get that many want it that's not. what is it. that. this was the first international trophy for the christian supported and had me its captain. and their founder on touch with.

their partner. thing. like. the. afghan. others. follow me so long i think my neck. of the funny it's on their own medicine.

then the next year nineteen one thousand nine. or so jess as they're sometimes known because of their maronite christian connection went to one. big one the biggest continental prize the feedback champions cup by beating the chinese club. in the final eighty four to seventeen. who. know how to play she wanted a year out of the uk you were fresh out of the i wasn't there. but i think there's. one that is. very. much.

in the middle. oh well hell of any medium limited. never. has a lot of alchemy when i bill through suddenly i didn't. get it. really. i wouldn't. about that about the city figure who was kind of it was going to get all about the wind isn't going under. and we also want champions cup the next year in two thousand and ten again in two thousand and four . the measure. big enough. to limit her.

but all of us won't. move out of the me. but that kind of thing to me belatedly is their thing and they've been able to pull it back to back. them on it is. only one valid bother we will have a bill which will be somewhere i will be true have you heard of the matter is the net about to be a little game characters a bell division. been shut down because. for all but their last big fear little bit just so yeah sure so young talent should be. some had. has on us all i mean i am as a little bit. moderate and. one fan is

the margin of a lot of professional can occur. i can't think the amount of him as a lay up a couple for the lock up for cutler on the monitor. the third one in the bin if an . instant. as well. as a week of his savvy year to play in. the bad luck in the match then a lot of. well. but after the two biggest clubs had reached such heights a shift began to occur in lebanese basketball. it seems to have been a combination of different factors. one funding on two and trading gradually became disenchanted with events of the current increasing sectarianism and party

political intervention by two thousand and four he had completely pulled out of me with effect rippling across the sport. to sectarianism and politics a sound circus his outspoken remarks after acme's asia cup win show that figures within the sport had strong political affiliations. some argue that basketball gradually became a tool in the hands of political parties causing players and finance fears and even fans to withdraw and. their money i should feel the new build a global trade that has it all over that was so what. exposure to lives. must have thought to unlucky but then it didn't feel that gays somehow love. it. and it wasn't. a war

or. nor. is the majority ok. with someone who are. aware labby. who are all. of. as i. had been in. on twelve. some of them. assess it must be really how we'll need the e m a c. one mano with the only man to resist on another team you don't talk to or . then even the city maybe make the see man who is in need if you meet on the medium at the seams you need to come see i'm going to be for the moment the lobby

and even before them. an additional. you must not be on the lead it easy one has said no no come in and observe. how or. why they are. so. how will it look here that. there was no more buffy coming is the movie you can drop out of the normal book of. god on. life and a lot of i love enough to. be a baby enough to know it. had a shirley but i said i had been in. such power and influence on twenty eight in the early two thousand in the sport and across the media that his withdrawal from acme affected not only the club but the sport as

a whole. a look at the offices of the lebanese basketball federation today which still bears issue eighty's name suggests the bus and dynamism of the early two thousand is no longer their. way to ease frustration with the christian administration of the acme club seems clear. but he would not be the first sports finance here to come up against entrenched club. like me still play in the lebanese league and command loyal support but they're struggling with debt and their form is inconsistent. you. are the and. and.

former captain tough became the manager in twenty seven and then president and his to revere by today's players like he was stuck. in. the a. and would have been my area. but the other do you don't have a durbar. could she offer the apartment the book will monitor the public men cannot muster but i did if somebody or. it was. from a navigator and of anonymously. by lobby i'm trying to. either not only are there was good mistrust that i did.

it with the. man this material beauty or the amendment i meant one god is wrong in the name. and another a something often have a vision beheld a look there are no women. she is special and. limitless about the revolution a little basket miserable failure it can all work through your reform kumar not like you can off our grass or the having our new. vision your elaborate as technically we love you can she. softly facilities are all of us out of the. most but.

little solution. and no more like a normal achievements and most impulses from a small foot up on the trough a deal one of us had was something while something. and some of. the little one year was done for a thorn out the. models you're on your yap about when actually that was your c.s.e. or your bubble. like in the upper one the c.s. that they were assured they were bought then none. of the other from

a well at all if that. include for the bother what. so if you have a clue. a serious or not not one of the do or the. i think simply. the truth is a love of the lost cause along in verse one of his book is often you feel. about something. missing in my mouth but i never thought i'm a food police i think you know that they have no problem the point of what i have yet to come in on the flop you know labadee all done which in effect i shut up just am i listen i'm shut up for someone about my own you are clueless i'm not going to cut it with a then let me on the on the john had to fall off a long. dog

has succeeded in securing viable funding but the constant trifler with attack me as . they continue to win trophies after his decline but when they want to leave in two thousand and six their captain was no longer living. on the highly public may not know something they will saletan something cassimatis and i while on your phone like it there comes the funny thing happened last night i can't. find a job of some kind of comes out little it's a. home without the name that it could out sunday oh ballad leave all. that kind of last sell out if. there. was some other fan would

set out at the end. of the day i live there but it could be a. at . eighteen chan taffeta now runs a national resort and is not active you can evolve in at me at the moment. he's critical of the increasing involvement of political parties in the club these days . a lot of them useful to know we need to take me and my cousin the ease. the sound this year the billion i'm a bit on my lawyer door to be

a new visit overnight but i've been lightly and just near the colors and in town with. be a while and most of ana will file on the budget i mean i'm in the final four weekend haggis's abolished it will most of all about the. and i can have a fee. but a damn a c.s. ability and you know not but. you didn't like me make one and. but you know as a fifth of c.s. hemo we. well i don't know how. we could be nearly cool. with that many other obstacles he is the. one i'm. with a friend and i know you all was. on the other hand while. on. nor. would even get the flick of

a bad on and on it because she. is an ex like me on in. either not of the hunt to see is excited. and ok it can be. a way to know how it is. until. our new sort of congress leaves. and of have been. if with the media. i think you. do not he is also critical of the room of party politics in his old club. he's

coached clubs and lower divisions and aspires to be a commentator. as i was in the you know. in the. look at she beat me and. leave. us isn't a mother its leader riyadh it isn't a mother is needed me i'm a. good listener will definitely be. on even on each song you know you are my. what. never are they understand it then you move them all and i see a sympathy because she. called him that only about twenty diageo she says she can and must the two and

a mafia would have done. in or. button or. killed and i can. shut up the a full minute baby secularly if secularly then it would have been either your. us. a mental illness and thin ok near-side most of a belief that only needed to be in illegal with. the month to month month i see how you find it. you have who do you. hold equal imola based but we will be for the. moment of it there is a thin year. there if you will or whether the us when they are mean that they

usually know if it's been that is it in you. off while an honest. one. this wife a debacle was i was a lot funnier ned that we all had the fate that me and that is the military she a it. shows will. always see it know what i love what i like that the name of. a son is a mommy thought that is in order. and there are when you do not use something wrong if. he says sunni against shia they would clash and that's the problem. basketball in lebanon is still very much alive but when the civil war ended ninety

nine to one it did not resolve credibly complex politics and sectarianism that has continued to develop since. so the fortunes of the country's most successful sport really reflect events across the country as a whole. fans and commentators often plead for sport and politics not to mix but in a country like lebanon on that can really feel. more fanciful today than ever.

gould for nearly half a century. a controversial political figure in the cold in the middle east and one who was never far from crisis at home or abroad. in a two part seems more tells the story of the same old joy. episode one so far on the scene. hello there we still got a good deal of unsettled weather across the middle east at the moment most of the heaviest rain is in the far east in parts of i'm up through parts of afghanistan and then up towards tajikistan plenty of cloud plenty of rain and snow out of this then there's a bit of a break before you can see the next system plenty of cloud here working its way

through parts of iran through iraq and down through parts of turkey as well so heavy downpours here plenty of cloud as well and that's really not moving anywhere in a great hurry even as we head through the day a wednesday that system of cloud and rain has also been affecting us across parts of the arabian peninsula recently too we seeing quite a few showers over parts of saudi and we've got plenty of cloud sticking around as we had three tuesday and wednesday in fact if anything it looks like it's thickening up again so on wednesday there's a chance we could see the old shower here in bahrain or perhaps in saudi arabia and on thursday they could be a few thunderstorms for us as well down towards the southern parts of africa and hey we've got plenty of showers a very lively ones over the eastern parts of south africa at the moment all of that pushing its way towards the north and more of an mozambique there as we head through wednesday but we could see one or two showers over parts of zimbabwe as well to the north of that plenty of showers as usual but for the south largely dry .

the scene for us where on line what is american sign in yemen that peace is always possible but it never happens not because the situation is complicated but because no one cares or if you join a sunset there are people that there to choose or between buying medication and eating base is a dialogue i want to get in one more comment because this is someone who's been out of it just posted a story join the global conversation at this time on al-jazeera. al-jazeera . where every.

a story fourteen hundred years in the making. a story of succession and leadership. i just tells the story of foundation and the emergence of an empire. the caliph episode one on a jazz either. we understand the differences and the similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter where you call home al-jazeera will bring in the news and current affairs that matter to. al-jazeera.
