the future. well the world's media is gathering at the border between the two koreas just ahead of historic talks between the leaders of north and south korea a record breaking two thousand eight hundred thirty three journalists have registered to cover the event at the border truce village of panmunjom representing one hundred sixty eight south korean and one hundred eighty foreign news outlets a wide range of issues expected to be discussed between north korean leader kim jong il and south korea's president moon jane including pyongyang's nuclear weapons program well our diplomatic editor james bays has more now from across the border in produce the final rehearsal took place the softer noon body doubles playing the role of supreme leader kim and president moon both sides very keen that the choreography is just right because of the camera angles and the images but also

because of the important question of security this is quite a remarkable event when you think what has happened on the korean peninsula in recent months the fact that tensions have been so high here last year particularly during the summer last year and really a remarkable turnaround of events bringing us to this first of two possible high level summits what changed what allowed room for diplomacy i've been gauging that at the u.n. in new york in european capitals and here on the korean peninsula i filed this report from the north korean capital. when you walk around pyongyang everywhere you seem to go you hear military music blaring from shops and loudspeakers last summer the drums of war were beating particularly heavily it was arguably the tenses time on the korean peninsula in decades and september north korean foreign minister

really young ho headed from his ministry here to new york to give his speech at the annual meeting of world leaders at the u.n. ahead of him in the speaking order the new president of the us the united states has great strength and patients but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime. al jazeera has learnt that hours after that speech foreign minister re sought a brief meeting with the u.n. secretary general antonio good terrorists at the end of the meeting the north korean invited a senior united nations official to pyongyang a trip the un had been trying to arrange for over a year at the beginning of december jeffrey feltman then the un's head of political affairs made a visit to pyongyang and meetings with north korean officials feltman suggested

that kim jong un use his new year's speech to strike a more conciliatory tone he suggested too that the winter olympics which are about to be staged in south korea would be a useful occasion to improve relations it's not clear whether the north koreans listened to his advice but they did the things he suggested the leaders sister kim yo chung's visit to the olympics change the atmosphere between the north and south starting a diplomatic dialogue there was another important back channel to sweden's foreign minister margot will strum authorized expanded conversations with the north koreans at one point had been planned for foreign minister rio ho to meet the then u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson in stockholm that plan changed when president trump surprised his own officials saying he wanted a face to face meeting with kim jong un and then secret dispatched his cia director mike pompei oh to pyongyang to begin the negotiations i've been speaking to

diplomats at the u.n. in new york and here on the korean peninsula strategic discussions here in north korea are made at the highest level and done in secret but everyone i've spoken to believes that the bellicose speech by donald trump at the u.n. general assembly was what kickstarted the current diplomatic efforts. al-jazeera pyongyang. well friday or summit will be only the third of its kind in history the first meeting between leaders from both sides was held in the year two thousand during the so-called sunshine era another followed seventy years later there was kathy novak looks back at those events and what might be different this time around . he was the architect of the so-called sunshine policy the koreas had been technically at war for fifty years but in two thousand a liberal south korean president kim dae junge backed by the clinton administration in washington was promoting in gage meant warmly welcomed into enemy territory by

then leader kim jong il kim jong il had been north korean leader for six years and was fresh from his first overseas visit to china with pyongyang on the world stage fascinated citizens across the border watched events unfold on television. the europeans keep saying that i live like a recluse thanks to president kim's visit i'm liberated from reclusion. this three day display of friendship culminated in an agreement and one of the south korean president a nobel peace prize among the promises reunions for families separated by the korean war and a joint business park at kaesong just north of the border. but global politics weren't on their side. in two thousand the u.s. had a change in administration from clinton to bush and the hard line policy became prominent the results of the two thousand summit weren't sustained. don young was unification minister under the next south korean president roh moo hyun who continued his

predecessor's sunshine policy in two thousand and five chung delivered an invitation to kim jong il for another summit and two years later president roh stepped over the border with then chief of staff the current president and watching on. your team and this line is the wall that has been dividing our people for the last half century this will demolish the four be the wall and heal our people's suffering. it was two years after north korea pledged at the six party talks to give up its nuclear program in exchange for economic aid kim and rose signed another peace declaration agreeing to implement that six party deal but it was never enforced. on october fourth two thousand and seven there was a great agreement after the south korean presidential election two months later that great agreement went straight to the garbage. north korea conducted nuclear and missile tests conservative south korean president shifted to a tougher policy and relations deteriorated now liberal president moon j in his

reprising language from two thousand and seven about ending the armistice and building permanent peace what may be a key difference this time is like u.s. president donald trump moon has only been in office for a year and has more time to implement any agreement and for the first time a u.s. north korea meeting is expected to follow the intercom rian summit kathy know that al-jazeera solves all media could have a new prime minister by next week it's palm and is expected to hold a special session on tuesday to debate on possibly elect a new leader this fall as protests in the capital yerevan demonstrators have been blocking some streets the opposition once its leader they call to become the head of a new government robin forrester walker joins us live now from yerevan robbins i bring us up to date with the latest what's been happening today. as you mentioned protests is back on the streets again and blocking blocking one of

the main thoroughfares into the center of town but it's interesting that the leader of the opposition the nicholl passion yet is that she said for now we don't want to bring this capital to a standstill for the time being we want to think that things you know traffic moving again an indication perhaps. things are going their way and therefore he feels that it's time to impose a bit of discipline and show you know that they can also make concessions when they need to we've also heard important developments obviously with the prime minister prime ministerial election vote that's due to take place next week next tuesday you know this is clearly a sawing. the political forces in armenia the republican. that resigned from his post earlier this week they are also now ready to move

forward. and that's important too because if there is going to be in apartments that point in next week the people's candidate as has been clearly demonstrated by all those thousands of people who have been coming out over the past few weeks tens of thousands hundreds of thousands of times that guy is nicole passion yand and you know he. stated that he's ready to step into that role as well we're going to see is whether we'll know it's he's going to be able to shift the battlegrounds from the street and into the into the legislature into the parliament and get that get what he needs if you like it to legitimize. his rice the path he's taking towards assuming control of armenia but we still have to wait and see whether the republican party and those at the nominally in charge governments that still you know we still have a foreign minister for instance we need to find out what they whether they are

going to accept this as an inevitable move forward we know that the foreign minister was meeting today with. the russian foreign minister so we don't have too much information about what they discussed we know that they talked about the goal of care about. the territory that azerbaijan they claim to be its internationally recognized as areas of frozen conflict and russia raise the garance who are food for for armenian security in many ways this is a big issue and russia so far to now is said that it's allowing ok events to take their natural sort of pace you know i mean and not interfere in what's going on here so a lot of a lot of things happening even at the moment there robin just briefly what's been the reaction generally i'm from the opposition and the protest is what are they hoping for now. we some of them have been quite positive about this announcement of the prime minister the new

new promise it will be elected late next week they see this is pressuring the charts but they're also keeping. sort of why it's waiting for here. in just a couple of hours actually to state their response to this announcement so they're going to be talking about what they're going to do next and we're going to hear from nicole past year a little later today and of course we'll bring you all that when we have that in for robin thank you now the french president has used his speech to the u.s. congress to urge washington to reject nationalism and preserve the iran nuclear deal later emanuel macross said he's not confident donald trump will stay in the deal macross opposed to a new agreement to be negotiated with that expands on the existing accord white house correspondent kimberly hulk it has more the president of the french republic before a joint session of the u.s. congress french president emanuel argued the united states should remain part of

the iran nuclear agreement it is true to see that this agreement. may know the address all concerns and very important concerns this is true but we should not abandon its without having some seen substantial and more substantial than said. a day earlier in meetings that the white house might cross suggested the current deal to limit iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief should be the cornerstone of a new supplemental agreement oh and it would address tribes concerns beyond twenty twenty five including limiting iran's influence in the middle east and halting ballistic missile testing we can change and we can be flexible you know in life you have to be flexible so despite criticizing the existing iran agreement repeatedly for years trump is now signaling he's open to recertify iran's compliance under the

terms of the deal but only if his criticisms are addressed with a deadline for donald trump to make his decision just weeks away european leaders are conducting a high level lobbying effort on friday german chancellor angela merkel will be the next to visit the white house she'll work to persuade try to remain in the two thousand and fifteen iran deal but iran says a u.s. withdrawal will kill it tehran has threatened to respond by pulling out of another agreement the nuclear nonproliferation agreement on weapons on wednesday iran's president question trumps ability to even comprehend the terms of any agreement show milk or ship hot streak you don't have any background in politics you don't have any background in law you don't have any background on international treaties or going to tradesmen a merchant someone who builds towers for a living make judgments about international affairs and well he's currently

signaling he's open to the u.s. for maining in the deal negotiated with iran and five other world powers given his impulsive nature there's still time for trump to change his mind and follow through with threats to leave the iran deal kimberly health at al-jazeera at the white house. plenty more so to come here on the news hour including gaza bids a final farewell to the journalist who was shot by israeli forces during protests along the border. and what's being done to try to breathe new life into france's poor suburbs. and in a sport that its rules are set to have a big impact on the career of this world and a live picture. now the lower house of britain's parliament is debating whether or not to stay inside the e.u.'s customs union after briggs it many see this as an attempt to put

pressure on tourism is government will be a vote at the end of this question but it will be non-binding that many m.p.'s believe quitting the tariff free zone could spell economic disaster and that's got the fishing industry in scotland worried as reports. it is anything liable to annoy the supporters of brics it's it's europeans taking fish from british waters but on the east coast of scotland there's another side to the story the sale starts at seven o'clock. it's meat day five hours ago this warehouse was stacked with fish by now it's being prepared for market across the u.k. and abroad more than a hundred. and it needs to go fast to fetch a decent price could leave the market here eleven o'clock process and evening and catch fire in the morning or go through the tunnel whatever. any delay at all to this volume. means and expand sort of a lower price for the process which in these times is critical for. many fisherman

support breck's it in the interests of protecting their waters and stops but just as many in the fishing industry want open borders with europe can they have both. protecting the rights of british fishermen has become a toe technic issue for many leading breakfasts as they say the u.k. must leave the european free trade area but staying in the european free trade area is crucial for those parts of the fishing industry which need to move their stock quickly to some of the best restaurants in places like france and spain and that's a big problem cullen's which is a local delicacy but not if you live in the post for a week. to make a point about what happens to fish if it gets stuck in a truck for too long the local m.p. here sent the government minister in charge of bricks it's a traditional fish pie in the post government ministers who support breck's it he says don't understand their own constituency. i believe they're simply choosing to

look at the divisions in the tory party they're making the decisions based on politics not economics not the interests of the people in these islands it's timely a look at the harsh realities of where they've got this do. of course it isn't the only fish anything perishable or goods reliant on a fast turnaround could be affected disastrously if british trucks are forced to queue for days before entering the continent they were in continue discussions with u.k. government and scottish government i think the concern is we've had real clarity as to what you can government don't want which is a customs union but real uncertainty still as to what the future does hold. in peterhead they're expanding the ports because they believe their markets will grow supporters of the shore continental europe will fall for a deal on taxes and tariffs because they love to eat british fish the livelihoods of people here may depend on this assumption. lawrence joins us live now from

westminster lawrence to raise a maze finding herself increasingly trapped between the two sides of her party isn't cheap. what yes i mean certainly there is a view that it's extremely difficult for her to try and keep the conservative policy which obviously is in government here together because there are a lot of people in some of the speaking in the parliaments here just just for the moment from the conservative policy who say you can leave the european union and stay in the customs union at the same time turkey's in the customs union but is not in the european union and yet there are others boris johnson's a leading example the foreign secretary you say it's not really brics it's unless you leave the customs union is in its purest terms because the u.k. should be free to do deals with the people a square in those those two sides off is really difficult for us it was all wrapped up in the question of the border with northern ireland as well so it is a mess we thought was going to be a vote today a non-binding vote on whether the u.k. should stay in but it now appears that might be being put off

a little thing that's because the government doesn't want to loose so it is problematic very much for the government and you know you heard in that report about sort of fishermen who support but want to stay in the customs union because they got to get the fish to france where they quickly well it cooper who's a leading figure in the opposition labor party to make exactly the same points about any number of other industries that rely on fast movements and the sort of free trade and sarah free borders that the customs union allows for the moment. at four hundred lorries an hour from all over none of the ferries to france in ireland six thousand lorries and eight thousand fans with a one for a across the border without even breaking from apples to every space from yorkshire woman's to scottish salmon britain does more than two hundred and eighty billion pounds of export trade with european countries every year that is businesses don't get stopped at the border don't pay terrorists or pay in extra homes they can just

say on three that is the frictionless trade say many of our manufacturing jobs depend on. so let's get the other side of the arguing from julian jessup who is from the institute of economic affairs and you are firmly fault for leaving the customs union and she what was that there are some advantages in remaining within a customs union it would mean tariff free trade would make it easier for us to replicate the free trade deals that the e.u. has with the rest of the world and it would be a partial solution to the irish problem but against that i think those benefits could be achieved in other ways we can get a comprehensive free trade deal that eliminates tariffs and reduces non-tariff barriers we have streamlined customs arrangements that minimize the problems of custom checks anyway and of course if we remain within a customs union we missed that big prize of being able to our own free trade deals with the rest of the work for for which sorts of businesses would this be a benefit because other people we've asked on the television today have said they can't really think of any apart from perhaps some very high end things

a bentley cars or expensive whisky that gets sold in japan and china in these sorts of places that wouldn't it would really matter very much of the price went up a lot for everybody else it basically manufactures it seems to be a real headache what is very important to minimize any increase in trade barriers with the you there's no doubt about that me. a shrinking proportion of our trade is still by far the biggest is going remain so scums because it'll be a good time so as i don't dismiss the benefits of remaining in a customs union but there are alternatives and i personally think it's too soon to be jumping to the conclusion that we should rule out as alternatives now we don't have to have this agreement settled before we leave the e.u. we do have a transition period where we can improve the sort of technical solutions to the irish border problem and i think would solve these problems anyway but why go through all this whole take anyway because after all if you culture mind back to the actual referendum stuff of the customs union played no part whatsoever in the debates it was really about immigration in the amount of money that the u.k. gives the european union and taking that back why can't the u.k. just stay in because it seems to work on some level at the moment and still control

its borders in the way that the public seems to want well i think there are a couple of problems with that i mean first of all i think most people would expect his beard. we take control of trade policy as well as control of borders laws and money and so on so i think if people had been asked this question they would have said we should leave the customs union and the second problem the customs union is it is actually not just about tariffs obviously you do eliminate terrorists but you also needed to agree of regulatory convergence if you're going to allow goods to move freely across borders so if we remain in a customs union we're stuck not just with the e.u. as tariff policies but also have to keep a lot of their regulations which is something that people associate with a single market but actually we get stuck with remained the customs union just just a final question and just very briefly a we hear all these stories about prober excellent piece saying we'll just have to give when the customs union part of it because the irish issue do you think she will have to cave in well i don't think she will i think there'll be some rebels on the tory side but also be some rebels on the labor side who i think will actually vote for the u.k. to leave the customs union and any event i don't think we need to have this settled

now is something that can wait to be resolved in the transition period ok you're very relaxed that if only all the politicians in there would just as relax thank you lawrence thank you now there are concerns for the safety of ten aid workers in south sudan the group has gone missing their town called yea the workers are from the un and other aid groups their convoy left for humanitarian mission early on wednesday but hasn't been seen since live now to even more going in south sudan's capital juba heber saw more do we know about these missing aid workers. well daryn we spoke to the u.n. and they said that it's still a story in development there were ten aid workers who went missing yesterday morning one of them worked for the u.n. office for quite a nation of humanitarian affairs or to work for the u.n. children's agency unicef and the others work for different agencies such as international and three other national governmental organizations it's not clear yet what's happened to them because the u.n. said they basically lost touch with the convoy when they were carrying out

humanitarian needs assessment between the town of in a river state in a place called her where they were headed to when they disappeared and haven't been heard from since now let's recall that this happens just about two weeks after a worker was killed in the northern part of the country and seven others were abducted before they were eventually released by armed groups the u.n. has expressed concerns over and over again about the fate of humanitarian workers ninety eight have been killed since the start of the conflict in december twenty third team and hundreds of others have gone missing so there are concerns about what is going to happen to the ten aid workers who have gone missing yesterday it's not clear yet who has them because let's remember salsa dance conflict has evolved very much us since december twenty thirty now there are various armed groups involved in the conflicts the government has said that they don't they don't know about the incident they're not aware of the aid workers being abducted and the opposition said they are looking into it to see if the armed groups if they're been abducted by armed groups are associated with them but so far the u.n. is waiting to hear from any side about whether they do have these aid workers or if

there is a hostage around some demand or even more than the drew you both thank you. all right time for the weather now here's rob with news of heavy desert rains race is quite a big system covering a good part of levant half the middle east really probably not here but this is where it started sort of wind up in sinai and these are pictures of flooding that happened in counted i would talk at a moment only about street flooding and this you know it causes flooding in streets but a nuisance it's not particularly deadly falls elsewhere those problems occur and overnight we just picked up the ferocity of some of the storms coming out this developing systems in northern side so as heavy rain and hail hail size of large marbles the whole thing as you can see spins out of control but to a very large extent and here's the deadly stuff when it starts to rain and this is in the west bank northern jordan sudden israel you get flash flooding in the water east i think at least two teenagers are washed away because of this now that's

often happens as a fairly rare event here the trouble is it hasn't yet finished around the outside where it's not raining and this is a typical view which is further north in damascus now in syria and this is sand and dust picked up so the big circulations like that gave everywhere from northern saudi almost up to turkey and all the levant and iraq and the stars of his disappearing that quickly still wanting if i take you through twenty four hours with a lot of agencies lying to fall in iraq possibly briefly kuwait and we sit at more or less this time tomorrow still with the potential of big showers in the same area and to the east. rob thank you that last mosul to coming on al-jazeera we gain exclusive access to a prison where the afghan government holds eisel fighters. and the clothes on goes up on one of the most popular holiday spots in the philippines putting thirty six thousand jobs at risk and in sport it's a dance a drill madrid after the first leg of their champions league semifinal against stay with us.

inmates. learning from other inmates acquiring knowledge that can set them free. through legal education classes and mock tribunals vegetation has led to staggering results you've been in prison for fifteen years it's all recent that they was. teaching empowerment kenya part of the rebel education series at this time on al jazeera we're here to jerusalem bureau covered israeli palestinian affairs we cover this story with a lot of intimate knowledge we covered it with that we don't dip in and out of the stories we have presence here all the time apart from being a cameraman it's also very important to be a journalist to know the story very well before going into the fields covering the united nations and global the policy for al-jazeera english is pretty incredible

this is where talks happened and what happens there matters. welcome back a quick reminder the top stories here this news out of the world's media is gathering at the border between the two koreas just ahead of the start of talks between the leaders of north and south korea a wide range of issues expected to be discussed between the north korean leader kim jong il and south korea's president moon james including pyongyang's nuclear weapons program. i mean you could have a new prime minister by next week it's palm and is expected to hold a special session on tuesday to debate and possibly elect a new leader follows protest in the capital year of the opposition wants its leader

called to become the head of and you governor. and the french president has used his speech to the u.s. congress to urge washington to reject nationalism isolationism and to preserve the iran nuclear deal but just hours later one year macross said he's not confident president trump will stay in agreement. now an israeli court has sentenced a border police officer to nine months in prison for killing an unarmed palestinian teenager in twenty fourteen and even the water was shot during protests marking the anniversary of the nakba and palestinians were expelled from their homeland what was father and human rights groups have condemned the sentence as far too lenient are a force that reports from the occupied west bank four years ago nadeem the wara took part in these protests in the occupied west bank town of between us he was one of the group of young men and teenagers throwing stones towards israeli security forces israel says they were instructed to use rubber coated bullets but when the

seventeen year old was shot he collapsed and was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced dead later an autopsy on his examined body would show he'd been shot through the chest with a regular bullet medical volunteer mohammed saleem was there that day he arrived in time to see a second teenage boy shot through the chest right next to him throw a stone and he was like walking by so his face was sort of this their accent and when he reached almost here he was shot in the back and then he turned around and fought he gave first aid to the victim muhammad but he too died no proceedings were brought in the case of one would i would die here but the killing of nadeem was different at one stage israeli border police officer who pulled the trigger was indicted for manslaughter. ben derry was initially accused of deliberately placing live rounds in the magazine of his assault rifle which should have been firing only rubber coated i mean in a plea deal that accusation was dropped and he was convicted instead of negligence

his sentence mine months in prison now deems father has fought a long legal battle on behalf of his son from the moment he says he found alive bullet in the backpack nineteen was wearing when he died and a kid in nor i have proven that israel has no justice or fairness when it comes to palestinians i prove this with evidence because the cares of the diem is one of the strongest piercers in the israeli palestinian conflict by evidence approved on the day most intentionally killed palestinian activists say a double standard is at play highlighted by the case of i head to mimi the palestinian teenager convicted of assault and incitement after slapping an israeli soldier her sentence eight months i mean is a child who slapped the soldier and received almost the same sentence as the soldier who put an end to the life of testing a child so you can compare the standards the justice system is following the israeli police have declined to comment on ben

dairies sentencing the judgment criticized him for aiming at the upper body of someone who presented no immediate threat to having a live round in his magazine but it found no intention on his part to load that bullet or fire it at nineteen nora perry for sit. in the occupied west bank the palestinian journalist ahmed abu hussein has been laid to rest in gaza he died on wednesday from injuries sustained while covering the protests and gaza's border with israel two weeks ago he was shot when israeli forces use live fire against unarmed palestinians abu hussein was taken to a hospital in ramallah but as his health worsened he was rushed to another hospital in israel where he died stephanie decker has more. a large crowd has gathered here in the jabalya refugee camp to pay their final respects to abu hussein he is the second journalist killed by israeli sniper fire now he was poor back into gaza overnight he started flying in and the mosque where people are paying their final respects his press vest his bullet proof vest that he was wearing at the time when

he was shot is with him. and certainly there is video of the incident when he was shot in april thirteenth that shows he was standing in a crowd far away from a fence when it appears that he was specifically targeted is laid on me before that they know the. gunshot which means they know that this gun is going to kill business this is the point. and yes it has not been killed by they have been met by the israeli snipers. but abu hussein twenty five years old is now the second palestinian journalist being laid to rest and has drawn some international condemnation calling for an independent investigation the israeli army says it does not target journalists and

that it's going to look into the details of their deaths but certainly anyone you speak to here on has a very clear opinion that these are deliberate targets that the israeli army that these snipers are deliberately targeting them to try and stop them from protesting everyone here will tell you even people we've spoken to have been shot before that they will return to the protests that they want their rights just like everyone else they feel forgotten and they believe that through these protests for once finally there is some international spotlight on their plight. now the french government is launching a plan to revive poor suburban areas before and previous presidents devise proposals but too little effect but looks at what's being done in the move in normandy. like many towns in france ever has a charming historical center but on the outskirts of districts crammed with social housing unemployment is high here and people's hopes for the future are low.

meaning some local officials want to prove things but it is not easy to get the government and birth. happen will ever change here it's always the thing there's no jobs regional council address at azeri is trying to bring change he has a vision of areas like this prospering. over there we are building houses that people can buy. successive governments have tried and failed to address the problems in the suburbs president emanuel mack calls government is proposing a new action plan it's consulted local officials like greece at a salary to find out how best to invest in jobs transport and education he says what's needed is a whole new approach. you have to stop putting on is a poor is a bore and keeping all the ethnic communities together putting everyone in towers we need to explode yes we have sinking we need to scatter social osing throughout

our towns we're disoriented to be like and use a bunch of friends some say one answer is to stop seeing people in the suburbs as a problem but rather as a solution. this company trains people in laying fiber optic cables in the boston say there's a huge advantage to being in this area because there are plenty of young people who need work and want opportunity to just want to point in many people who have been marginalized in life are lacking in self-confidence so we tell them look this is a carrier that could be a solution you're capable you can learn and most of these trainees are unemployed but nearly all are expected to find work after the course. i heard about this from someone who'd done this training before he told me it was great he advised me to take it up because it be easy to find a job afterwards i was looking to what extent the government's new plan will change the suburbs and improve the images on clear what people want here is to be reconnected to a society that they feel has long forgotten them natasha butler al jazeera if.

one only i spoke to us on the way to civil rights activist he says long running social problems like racial discrimination need to be addressed in order to improve the lives of those living in the suburbs. initiators or rebuttal was a retired french. most liberal years ago and are he's back again with a promise for friends or francis will go into borneo with promises to get even more money the problem of the suburbs in france it's not a question of money it's a question of the structure of france were so you've used the booze or be kept away from the cities and i'm from the main economic cultural and political points first if they're really serious about that yes dr discrimination neighborhoods in the not proper access to education housing transportation it was stuck with the only connection between the state and the border you being there in the police so when i got a month of money this promise it was were it's worth it again and also if you never

continues from now mohammed into will just sit in position so money now it's day one of philippine president reagan to ted has ordered to close a popular holiday destination for the next six months he says tourists of time but a kite into a cesspool the beach attracts about two million tourists a year with a billion dollars in revenues it's now declared off limits to tourists when the government looks at sewage related problems critics say it's an overreaction affecting people who depend only on in their jobs. will seem rude as a philippine policy analyst he says everybody has known about the on environmental problems for some time but the sudden closure was unexpected aside from the direct impact on the people who are actually there working there the thousands of workers there there is a knock on effect to the rest of the tourism industry since about twenty percent of all tourists go there so thousands of jobs will be lost elsewhere in the country

while there is a scoundrel there could easily be a longer term effect tour operators around the world find that the things is not a reliable place to send people and start looking elsewhere twenty years ago then tourism secretary warned about contamination of the waters off the archives and nothing was done and so for twenty years very little has been done and it is indeed a problem there are many violations that have been on address for quite some time and the sudden drastic cut off affects everybody whether or not they have been complying with environmental standards but the overreaction shutting down the entire ireland to solve the problem seems to be a a sudden way out wide but with an expected. well technology is taking over more and more of the workforce the world economic forum says automation will replace

a fifth of all jobs by the next twenty years but in the home call children are learning how to work hand in hand with robots. explains. why these children are preparing for what's being called the fourth industrial revolution they're learning how to embrace a future read vance to a bot it's an artificial intelligence or ai will be part of everyday life i did the chip and then my sister did the computer. plugged into the other robot system to make it work it may look like fun and games but under the guidance of professionals and experts in engineering and technology in this robotics class the learning how to make machines think for themselves. this experimental learning lab was conceived by the tech entrepreneur and c.e.o. of outlays a company specializing in digital media games apps and innovation all the stuff at present already a machine can do much better and there's no way you can compete with that what we

really need to prepare the next generation is skills not a machine cannot do that well that's how we because that's how we stay relevant in competitive in the future but right now schools don't do that the world economic forum reports a fifth of the global workforce may lose their jobs to automation in the next two decades the hong kong government recognizes the city needs to keep up with the developments in technology this year the government is investing around six and a half billion dollars in fines and innovation most of those funds will be going to research and development industries and science in tech parks like this one many people want to know why that push for innovation isn't extending into the classrooms to reach the generation that will be most affected by changes in technology my understanding of the groups that i'm leading now under the auspices of the chief executive of tinkering with. if you're looking at how chinese history might be in so that into the curriculum then looking at. the curriculum

for now it's up to private initiatives to help children keep up with the changes in technology. and the rule set. and the real. condition. to competition. but that's one be the case for the majority of hong kong's children experts say unless they're radical changes in the formal schooling system the next generation is likely to lose in the competition against machines they go paul in hong kong. when we come back but all the sports beliefs take a tumble in boston actually from the n.h.l. playoffs coming up more on that stay with us.

look about temperature the most waters for deron thank you so much world athletics has announced new rules that could mean women with naturally high testosterone leavens having to compete against men the decision is likely to have an impact on south africa as the olympic and world champion caster semenya samantha was subjected to a gender test by world athletics in two thousand and nine and was banned from competing for almost a year under these new rules and slightly she will have to take medication to lower her testosterone levels or change events the decision comes into effect on november the first. says the ruling will ensure fair competition and is

a result of months of scientific research it only applies to running events between four hundred metres and fifteen hundred metres competes in the eight hundred and fifteen hundred affected athletes who want to participate to must take medication for at least six months the alternatives include running longer distance events or against a man caster semenya hasn't officially responded to the rule changes but she did tweet this message i am ninety seven percent sure you don't like me but i'm one hundred percent sure i don't care let's get more now from our sports correspondent lee wellings what does this mean for us the man you. well you can see the way that these rules of coming by people immediately think they're doing is specifically about caster semenya and the kinds of things are big enough that x. four hundred meters so actually to the mile of the vices that are affected for women so we're into the area of cost as an anya i've it really is going to have a huge effect on her on her times on our ability to win major told once to win gold

. actually. she has been dominating high school and that's what's caused all the problems in the first place because the. governing body. wants a situation where what was what i call a level playing field but look at the huge effect that it has and so many women having to take medication the six month would be the situation which will go against what an athlete trying to do and i think is trying to actually run as fast as i can and to win medals to actually say no you've got to go slower it would take time op stop breaking the two minute arias so i asked to go to gets member to see if she'd be prepared to do that but that would be such a huge shift and you would feel a great deal of sympathy for her do you think this was a long time coming i mean why is world athletics doing this now. there has been a long time coming as now when we first heard about cost us money go back to it was

it two thousand and nine and we were in a situation that was handled very very badly by a world that is governing body she was forced like a gender test this was considered human rights it was a violation it was embarrassing it was humiliating it was very very difficult for her to deal with the people around her had a big effect on a confident she had to find a way to come back and i get to that level where she was winning races again on the other side of it you see a situation which is actually quite heartbreaking overwhelm where they are i saw this happen in rio at the olympics in twenty six they were she's one of ice and usually athletes you notice they brace each other sometimes as we all witnessed with the people she's being because they feel it's unfair she has more testosterone that's a fact she's always going to be i don't want to be nasty but i feel that my chances of winning a medal are being affected so it's been a really delicate situation for world after exposes they haven't had to do very well in the past trying to handle it better now it definitely athletics is

struggling to get its public relations right yes i want to be very clear about this because we're in a situation where the president of. six he's very bullish about the sport he's always been very positive he was a great athlete himself but it's not the reality do not think that you don't hear about doping cases all the time that doping is not happening it is happening it's just that the people who are doing it are more sophisticated than the testing we can't believe viewers as fans we can't believe what we're seeing an athletics does have a crisis to deal with it doesn't need other situations like this but it needs to handle them very interesting thank you so much larry. le bron james and cleveland cavaliers are now just one win away from advancing to the n.b.a. second round playoff james put in a brilliant performance once again for the cavs scoring forty four points in game five against the indiana pacers braun saying a three pointer up positively cleveland to a ninety eight to ninety five victory after trailing initially the cavs now leave

the first round series three to two. as a kid you always had those like those three two one moments you know when you're. being able to have one of those moments and also to kind of feel like shit like i was a kid all over again just. you know playing basketball in my house and. you know makeshift hoops and you know my socks as a basketball and you know making that noise you know. that's just what it felt like. it's a gradual madrid after the first leg of their champions league semifinal against barr in munich rail winning two one in germany to stay on target for third straight title bar and took the lead at the three right kimmage but the twelve time champions hit back with goals for marcel and afghan zero questioner and although failed to score in a european game for the first time this season the sides meet again in madrid next

tuesday but the most wanted is what i think we can be happy with the result we had difficulties especially at the beginning of the match and we just had a tough time creating and imposing our game. but we played a better second half and we can be happy and satisfied with what we showed. and the boston bruins have eliminated the toronto maple leafs from the playoffs the bruins clinched games seven of their first round playoff series in boston they scored four four goals in a row to beat the leaves seven four and clinched the series four three zero now face tampa bay lightning and eastern conference semifinals. and that's all your sport for now more later now back to work thank you very much indeed well that's it for me daryn jordan for this news hour but i'll be back in a minute with more of the day's news that you've done so much it was a. the
