on both sides of this conflict made on al-jazeera citizens unable to vote and represented in washington members of congress do nothing about the cause of the part of the constituency in their responsibility and that is what's underneath this crisis phone lines visit to the island devastated by hurricane maria and demanding the support of the u.s. government more than we can tell you what it is and in the current mentality responsibility and the outlook there for good. shelter after the storm on al jazeera. al-jazeera. swear every.

this is al-jazeera. the whole robin you're watching beyond is there a news hour live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes middle east allies take the measure of america's new secretary of state. also joyce banda is back why the former president of malawi has returned to the country risking arrest. demonized by the president but still seeking sanctuary a caravan of refugees reaches the us mexico border. i'm tatiana sanchez with the day's sport past alone i have won the league fans hit the streets to celebrate i have facts and plenty more coming up.

problems of the news are donald trump's new secretary of state issued a strong warning to iran during his middle east tour like pompei you criticized teheran saying it's destabilizing the whole region on players stripping three visits to saudi arabia and israel and comes as trump edges closer to a decision on whether to pull out of the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal kerry falls it has more from west jerusalem in the middle east might pump a zero double down on the theme that has dominated his first international trip as secretary of state iran's threat to the region and the world and the solidifying u.s. threat to pull out of the iran nuclear deal iran destabilize this entire region that supports proxy militias and terrorist groups. it is an arms dealer to the who the rebels. and iran conducts cyber hacking campaigns that supports the murderous assad regime as well compares arrival in riyadh

followed a barrage of eight ballistic missiles fired into saudi territory by hooty fighters in yemen the u.s. and saudi arabia say such missiles come from iran work i'm an actor we also think that iran should be dealt with by imposing further sanctions for its violations of international laws relating to ballistic missiles. iranian missiles are a chief concern of israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu his focus on the risk of their being fired from iranian bases in syria and by hezbollah from lebanon with his talk of a u.s. pullout from the iran deal and new sanctions against tehran pompei as language was almost interchangeable with netanyahu we remain deeply concerned about iran's dangerous escalation of threats to israel in the region and iran's ambition to dominate the middle east the remains of people thought that iran's aggression would be moderated as a result of signing to do the opposite has happened and iran is trying to gobble up one country after the other both men welcome the u.s.

embassy move from tel aviv to jerusalem shuttled for the fourteenth of may the day the israeli state was declared seventy years ago maintained that final boundaries within jerusalem were up for negotiation that the u.s. was committed to a lasting peace between israel and the palestinians there was no mention though of the recent demonstrations along the gaza border fence where israeli snipers have shot unarmed protesters killing dozens and injuring hundreds might pompei was a different proposition from his predecessor rex tillerson who spent most of his tenure as secretary of state in a state of at best semi detachment from the white house is seen as very close to president trump in particular on the issue of iran and so that gives his words extra weight even perhaps especially when they mirror one of to listens frequent messages that saudi arabia's blockade on qatar should and they also stress to the foreign minister the gulf unity is necessary we need to achieve a report in the new york times said the message away from the cameras was more direct enough is enough stop the blockade by the time pump am moved on to jordan

his chief aim seemed established laying the groundwork for tougher action against iran clear two of the obstacles the e.u. russia and china have all warned against scrapping the nuclear deal the decision will be donald trump's the deadline may the twelfth are a force that al-jazeera west jerusalem. well correspondence to brooke has been following events from washington d.c. i mean diane how is visit to the middle east being viewed in terms of the way he's conducting himself at least making his mark now secretary of state well i think from the white house's perspective and probably washington's perspective it it's been a positive you know this is a secretary of state that has been more forceful certainly more confident he hit the ground running hours after he was confirmed he went to rubble brussels then went on to saudi arabia israel and then he's going on to jordan and he's been very

forceful when it comes to iran saying that they are the great that country is the greatest sponsor of terrorism and well he hasn't said what the administration is going to do about the iran nuclear deal he was quite clear that if this deal cannot be fixed that the president will walk away from it does his stones actually very dramatically from his previous rex tillerson. absolutely and i think the big difference there couple of big differences first off peo has the confidence of president trump they're both very hawkish in regards to iran and north korea they're on the same page kind of speak the same language they get along this was so much different from rex tillerson rex tillerson never was really comfortable in that role he was a businessman he wasn't a political animal he was more moderate here the president didn't see eye to eye and he was often undercut by president now you have

a man who does have the confidence of the president and he is a political animal might pale served in the military he served in congress and so i think he is on the same page with president he has the confidence he has president confidence in so that he can go out more confidently and present his case to the world and of course you know as you say he hunts prison terms confidence president trump wants to see results so really in the long term do his master's bidding well that is the wild card and will he be able to do that i think it remains to be seen i think i think what we're seeing now though is at least there is a strategy there on the same page and i think you can more effectively communicate the president's strategy than rex tillerson could oversee what happens and for the moment thanks so much for joining us from d.c. viewers. please stay in the region the because the syrian state television says that rockets have struck several military bases in the aleppo countryside and now

the army is calling it a new aggression by its enemies syrian state television had earlier reported of successive blasts heard in the western province iranian forces all stationed in the area. well earlier syrian state media also reported a deal between the syrian government and opposition fighters under the proposed deal rebels will evacuate the area south of the capital damascus the syrian government has launched an offensive in the area last week to push that i saw out nine hundred civilians have been killed and a large part of the camp passing palestinian refugees in the area had been destroyed in the violence. footage has emerged showing the moment a saudi led a strike at a funeral of a key who's the leader in yemen. i. like clouds gather in the should be inscribed in the capital sanaa for the burial of

president might never return for years after leaving malawi undergo repetition cloud joyce banda is back on home soil my daughter surprised but you know if you teamed up and i'm sure it did for that you came bundle was malawi's first female president and the second woman to lead an effort in country but that league a c. has been overshadowed by the biggest financial scandal in malawi's history widely known as cash gate it came to light during her time in power politicians civil servants and business people all stand accused of pilfering tens of millions of dollars of government money through companies that didn't take to provide services more than thirty million was taken and just sick. months foreign donors pulled a hundred fifty million dollars in aid devastating for a country reliant on made around forty percent of its budget it also hit bundles really action bid she lost the vote in two thousand and fourteen and left malawi

accused of abuse of office and money laundering the warrant for her wrist is still active speaking to al jazeera bunda says she has no reason to be afraid if she's done nothing wrong. you know what did you do as a woman i will not be imprisoned in twenty two out so what happened before and. peter method he could took over as president coming to power with a vow to clean up the system and get be a don't is back but on friday thousands of malawians matched in protest at alleged corruption and poor governance during the thirty cars four years in office. bundeswehr two incomes as malawi prepares for elections next year local media reporting a possible deal between with thirty k. and panda but banda would not be drawn on his plans for now she says she simply wants to see family and friends after four years away media on one hand and to

syria now north korea is set to dismantle its nuclear testing site as soon as next month south korea's government says the pledge was made during kim jong un's meeting with moon in the on friday is part of a series of gestures from pyongyang apparently aimed at calming tensions on the peninsula kathy novak has more from seoul. the world saw the smiles and handshakes on friday now the south korean president's office is revealing more of what was said behind closed doors at the historic summit south korea says kim jong un promised to close the pooncarie nuclear test center next month and invited american and south korean experts and journalists to inspect it days before the summit north korea announced it would shut down the site of all six nuclear bomb tests kim referred to speculation that test explosions had so badly damaged the site it couldn't have been used again anyway. you don't shit on chairman kim said when they come they will see that we have two bigger tunnels than the current test

facilities and they are in good condition is the willingness to allow visitors to the test center appears to be another concession before the planned summit with donald trump and the north koreans by this is the necessity. for any kind of negotiations because if they don't see that the won't ever. clear weapons nobody is going to talk to them moon phoned the u.s. president to brief him on the into korean talks the declaration signed there included a broad reference to denuclearize ation of the korean peninsula trump and moon agreed that more specific measures on getting rid of nuclear weapons should be discussed at the u.s. president's meeting with kim kim jong un is also reported to have said even though the united states is inherently hostile towards north korea once they talk with us they will get to know that i am not the kind of person to launch nuclear weapons

towards the south or target the united states across the pacific south korea says kim intends to eliminate another sign of division by changing pyongyang's time zone by half an hour to realign with the south north korea said it's clocks back three years ago saying then that japanese imperialists had imposed tokyo time when korea was an occupied colony moon also briefed japan's prime minister and told shinzo abyei that he had conveyed japan's willingness for talks with north korea a willingness kim jong un said it was mutual kathy novak al-jazeera saw. omar fitzpatrick as a drug draw of the nonproliferation program at the international institute for strategic studies and he says it's unrealistic to expect north korea to hand over its nuclear weapons without any substantive concessions first. i do share secretary of state pomp a view that there is a real opportunity here i think the new leader relatively new leader of north korea

has presented the u.s. administration with a possibility to move toward peace i don't think that north korea is going to give up its nuclear weapons as quickly as the administration is suggesting but there is a real possibility here i think there can be a deal that lays out a goal and then sets forward a process to try to get there north korea's not going to give up its weapons before it gets something concrete you know especially if they see the united states. walking away from the iran nuclear deal north korea is not going to enter into another nuclear deal without getting something concrete in return and the divergence on the sequencing north korea wants benefits up front united states wants benefits up front and they'll have to work out some deal maybe sequencing. simultaneous changes. plenty more had hailed the al-jazeera news hour including

a security council delegation visits the bangladesh me and mom border to hear the rest in just story but first time. and those hamilton wins the formula one grand prix in azerbaijan but things done quite good to plan for brad to pull ahead in spite. of being on the road for months now on the so-called migrant caravan was arrived at the mexican us border hundreds of people from honduras guatemala and el solves all saying they're fleeing persecution and have wanting to cross over to safety on u.s. soil while u.s. president donald trump has called the caravan a threat to america some are fully supportive rob runnels has more from san diego. handful of migrant rights supporters marched through downtown san diego near the

end of a two hundred twenty five kilometer journey on foot from los angeles to showing solidarity for a group of hundreds of migrants from central america traveling toward the us mexico border while the trumpet ministration is going to meet refugees at the border where guns and walls we're going to meet them with open arms and open hearts once the migrants reach the border they will ask for protected refugee status in the u.s. says an attorney accompanying them on their journey even have to show that you will suffer persecution in your country of origin based on your race religion nationality political opinion or because you are a member of our particular social group. because the central american migrants are fleeing rampant violence and not persecution as north traditionally defined they may find it difficult to obtain asylum. central american. countries have some of the highest murder and violent crime rates in the world we spoke to raina came from

el salvador last year she asked us to disguise your identity for fear of reprisals against family members back home she fled after criminal gangs attacked her family and i love my son in law they left his dead body on my doorstep they shot him fifteen times he was young only twenty three years old than our entire family all of us were targeted once rayna reached the us she requested asylum then spent the next nine months in detention rayna is waiting for a hearing to decide whether she will get asylum she has no doubt about the fate that awaits her family if they're sent back by night that and i'm certain he would be going to our deaths u.s. president donald trump harshly denounces groups of central americans traveling to the us calling them dangerous and the border patrol has begun subjecting migrants

to harsher treatment like separating children from parents in detention reyna as a message for drum. and sing a precedent that all i would tell president trump to have mercy on us and to give us an opportunity to live for migrants like her asylum is a matter of life or death. but we have reporters covering this story from both sides of the us mexico border in a moment we'll be speaking to rob reynolds who's standing by for us in san ysidro inside the u.s. but first let's go to manuel but apolo who is just a short distance to the south of drop in the mexican border city of tijuana manuel basically we're seeing pictures of people climbing on to the fence is there a sense that some will try and sneak across the border i mean what's your impression of how many will try to take the legal route. a lot of

the images though that you may have seen of people climbing atop the fence as part of the demonstration earlier today at the border into one it was more of a festive scene people celebrating that they finally arrived at the place where they would be turning themselves to border authorities since then though that group about somewhere around two hundred individuals have made their way to the actual border crossing into one and that you're going to see a large group of people behind me unfortunately we have heard that announcement that they will not be allowing anyone that doesn't have the right documentation in through the border today activists and organizers with these with this group of migrants are just now beginning to make that announcement to these people so you can imagine quite the it's quite a confusing scene playing out behind us people don't really know if they will be allowed those that have been interviewed and deemed qualified to request asylum whether or not they will be allowed to cross over today but again activists and legal advisers for these folks had interviewed them to sort of weed out the folks

that did or that may have a better chance of qualifying for political asylum they were expected to turn themselves order over to border authorities today it's now unclear whether or not that's going to happen now as your question is whether or not others that may not qualify put for political asylum may choose to to to to follow a different direction mexico has asylum laws that allow many of those that. not qualify for asylum in the states to request asylum here in mexico but we have heard from a few other people who told us that if they are unable to do that that they will try their chances of crossing the border illegally but at the moment they're sort of the scene of of a lot of computing playing out behind us as we don't know whether or not that group of individuals will be allowed to go through and plead their case to us authorities of course it's been a very long journey for these individuals who have traveled from various parts of central and latin america he will sort of stay today arriving in when they already

have a arrive where you are. absolutely most of these folks are some central america the vast majority are from honduras others are from solved or they're fleeing countries that have an abnormally high level of violence or fleeing situations where they may be victims of gang violence they may be victims of extortion related to organized crime others are victims of domestic abuse others are fleeing persecution because of their sexual orientation and we have to keep in mind these folks have been traveling for well over a month now so you can see it in their faces they're hungry they're tired they're anxious for that next step even though for many in fact most they at this point don't know what that next step is going to be over the moon we'll leave it there manuel and follow events with you through the day let's cross over the border then to rob reynolds who joins me now from san ysidro in south of san diego i mean what's the reception going to be from the american all thorough if they are slightly delaying the arrival of some of those individuals from across the border

as manuel just said. right well as as been well just alluded to the customs and border protection agency says they've reached their capacity. we seem to have lost rob there but what we will try and do is connect with him in certainly through the program but let's also join our guest bill snyder he's a political analyst and he joins me now from los angeles we are unceremoniously cut off from rob to give us some analysis of what he was seeing certainly from san diego there mr schneider but what we do have insight in in retrospect is the fact that this sort of migrant caravan has been happening for a very long time in the u.s. why is it becoming such a hot topic now in the political sphere on capitol hill because it is an election year and

a lot of republicans most notably the president of the united states he understands he believes his experience is that the immigration issue helped him get elected in two thousand and sixteen and he wants to use it again to help his party get through the midterm elections in november of this year he thinks it is a very potent issue and it was for him two years ago you mentioned the midterms in november i mean is that where the republican party feel that the public at large are going to be voting not just on immigration and migrants but on the whole performance of donald trump in the what the past eighteen months or two years as it will be when it comes to november. there's no question the trump will be the central issue for democrats in this campaign everything they say will be trump trump trump because trump is massively unpopular among democratic voters and mostly independent voters as well the problem is that. the republicans you mention the republican party trump is not on the ballot republicans in congress and in the states are on the ballot and they would much rather talk about the good economy

which is steaming along in the united states is doing quite well they'd rather talk about the tax cut that trump signed in congress passed those are important issues to a lot of americans but john doesn't talk about that he wants to leave by dividing which is the way he got elected in two thousand and sixteen in terms of sort of the fear factor if you go back to the issue of these groups of people this caravan of people arriving on the border with the u.s. looking for asylum they are being painted certainly by president trump as gangsters or terrorists i mean how dangerous has this sort of saber rattling on people's character be it in terms of the water is truth and what is fake news. well. of course there are some criminals and people into the united states illegally are by definition committing a crime but these people who are on the border now they are seeking asylum in the

united states they are going through a regular process to get into the united states legally they may eventually try to get in illegally but trump's base his core supporters are people who think that they were a threat their criminal threat there a terrorist threat they threaten to undermine the foundations of the united states they just don't want them here and to them this is a real threat of criminal activity on the border even though they even though there's not much evidence that even illegal immigrants commit a disproportionate number of crimes because they get deported and it makes it very difficult and risky for them to commit a crime almost a shot i'm going to you to stay with us because we can head back to rob rentals are reports of that. with us rob we had a few technical issues that let's just go ahead with basically that president trump has made it very clear that he wanted the wall to try and stop migrants entering the country but is it enough when we have advocates who want to try and see these

victims of political persecution and to the country and not deemed to criminals like the president wants them to be. well there's a couple of things here i mean number one the president campaigned on the on the wall as bill schneider said he hasn't got the wall congress has shown very little interest in putting forward the twenty five to thirty to even fifty billion dollars it would cost to build. the wall that the president wants so he's not getting any traction there and that may be one of the reasons that he singled out this so-called caravan this group of central americans and really made quite a fuss about it on twitter in order to appear to his base that mr schneider also alluded to that he's he's being very tough on. migrants and

what we do know is that when the migrants are able to submit their applications for asylum the u.s. will have to take those and make a judgment as to whether they're valid or not now some of the conditions that the asylum seekers will then be subjected to may not be very nice the families may be separated mothers and fathers separate from children and that sort of thing they may be incarcerated for a year or even more we've talked to people that have had that experience and that when they have the final adjudication of their status they're not even entitled to a lawyer being there for that hearing the thing with these central american migrants is that normally. under all international laws governing refugees you have to be. a persecuted person in terms of your religion or your political

stance or a group in society that is singled out in other words it has to be political it has to be six out of state sponsored persecution that's not the case though with the people from central america the persecution that they're under. going is vicious crime by well organized criminal groups that are not state actors but nevertheless make life nearly impossible for these people so that's one of the reasons about three quarters of all the requests for asylum from el salvador honduras guatemala and the other. central american countries are denied so we will have to see i think that tomorrow perhaps some of these core group of the migrants who've been coming up manny is been reporting on will will be able to make their. their applications some may not be but the the u.s.

is obligated to least consider their requests for asylum and not simply turn them away willy nilly without any hearing at all for the moment rob it has been good speech and of course i will keep an eye on events that are inside of sid's right with you south of san diego let's go back to bill schneider he was also listening in to what you had to say mr snow and of course you know the legal wrangling can go all full months and years when it comes to political asylum as and when the paperwork a submitted to american authorities under a legal obligation that it signed up to to help asylum seekers but yet when you listen to president trump yesterday in michigan when he was speaking to really his base support he doesn't really see it like that to told us he. no he does not he were guards these his criminal aliens who want to get in the united states illegally take jobs from americans he pledged in his campaign that he would put a stop to this the problem is he hasn't been able to do very much as rob said he

doesn't. congress to construct a wall just a few early versions of it for display and his travel ban for people coming to the united states has been struck down by the courts the dreamers who are who are brought here as children the courts are protecting them he just haven't been able to deliver very much and as a result a lot of republicans are worried that they could pay a price for that failure at the polls to see what does happen in the certainly the coming hours when it comes to this caravan of migrants in the coming months as we head towards those midterms in the event but for the moment mr snyder thanks for joining us from l.a. . still ahead here on the al-jazeera news hour a sea of blue and white in the mix right you would capitol in memory of more than forty protesters killed in an anti-government demonstrations. and we report. independents are gaining new followers after the u.k.'s decision.

system my own country the country creamed about demonstrated for and sought to achieve many things al-jazeera world hears the stories of those deciding to emigrate in search of a new life and nationality passport to freedom at this time. the most memorable moment of al-jazeera was when i was on air as hosni mubarak fell with the crowds in tahrir square talking. to us if something happens anywhere in the world al-jazeera is in place we're able to cover news like no other news organizations. were able to do it properly. and that is our strength.

of the market watching the al-jazeera news our arms the whole robin a reminder of our top stories donald trump's new secretary of state has issued a strong warning to iran joining his middle east taught by pompei it says tehran is the stabilizing the whole region by his trip includes visits to saudi arabia and israel and comes as trump edges closer to a decision on whether to pull out of the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal also malawi's former president joyce banda and it is four years off self-imposed exile and returned to the country on saturday with allegations of corruption bandra insisted she's not of a. being arrested in an interview with al-jazeera he said that she has not ruled out running for president again. the so-called migrant caravan from one to euro squad tomorrow in el salvador has arrived at the u.s.

mexican border after a month on the road the nearly two hundred migrants say they'll apply for asylum in american president donald trump has called the caravan a threat to the u.s. . as weeks of protests continue at the gaza israel border the highest all forty in the palestinian liberation organization is up for election for the first time in over two decades now the palestinian national council will elect a new executive committee at the convention in ramallah it also is a platform to discuss potential successors to president mahmoud abbas p n c has some six hundred ninety members which include representatives of various factions independents military personnel and other associations but many of them are boycotting the convention hamas which governs garza the popular front for the liberation of palestine and islamic jihad are not attending not some analysts believe the meeting is important as is a chance to revive the palestinian national movement stephanie decker reports from

garza. continue up this road along gaza sea front and you will reach the israeli controlled areas crossing for the vast majority of palestinians that's as far as they can go and we're told life in gaza is the worst it's ever been not only due to israel in egypt's blockade but also because of the seemingly never ending infighting between the palestinian factions oh miss amman mohamad parents to eight children and their desperate. i have three sons living at home the oldest is forty all of finished university and have no work is almost dead there is no income and so there is no demand for anything the government instead of paying salaries for people to survive have cut the salaries well because fatah and hamas constantly disagree last year the palestinian authority which is based in the cut the salaries of its employees here in gaza by thirty percent this month salaries have not been paid to the lack of cash is stifling an already suffocating

economy one of the first things you notice when you enter gaza is the division between fatah and hamas that checkpoint belongs to fatah and just a few meters down the road is another checkpoint and this one belongs to have the two groups are as divided as ever and it's having a major impact on the people here the palestinian internal division has. eleven years. is. a high levels of poverty unemployment. between girls on the outside world and. the much as was taken by president mahmoud abbas about a year ago to the jewish. on monday the palestinian national council is due to meet in the i'm it's supposed to represent all palestinian factions and its decisions are binding but many groups such as hamas islamic jihad and the popular front for the liberation of palestine staying away more bickering among the factions. well

life here is becoming progressively worse so many people we talk to say they're fed up with all of them. no no no they do nothing for us i don't care about them so many meetings all with no results all they care about is their own power. even many of the children will tell you there are no opportunities here they see their parents struggle their elder siblings complete their studies but find no work they've never left gaza and yet still seem aware that something is missing stephanie decker al-jazeera gaza. two south asian un security council delegation listen to hiring stories on sunday from hundreds of range of refugees who fled the military crackdown in. the meetings took place across the border in bangladesh where some seven hundred thousand are living in makeshift camps. from cox's bazaar . this is how the british ambassador to the united nations was greeted

a refugee camp close to the bangladesh me on the border. the twenty four u.n. security council delegation led by britain peru and kuwait came to assess the situation on the ground for more than a million refugees living here seven hundred thousand who fled the crackdown by the myanmar military which began in august they heard stories like these. i was raped they killed my husband they burnt my two year old son i saw five men rape a twelve year old girl and then kill her we want justice from you thousands of refugees lined the roads as the delegation of vehicles passed many held signs demanding justice and help. in the coupon refugee camp the delegates were split into groups to listen to more stories from victims of violence one man told them the myanmar government would never tell them the truth do your investigation this from your own

countries he said britain's u.n. ambassador said it was vital the international community act with one voice we need to go back and evaluate what we've seen on this trip and see if we can come together to build on the unified feeling that the security council had back in november when it called on the government of myanmar to do certain things to protect them and allow them to go back in conditions of safety so i think that's the immediate short term priority myanmar has banned any independent investigation into what the u.n. says is ethnic cleansing of the ranger myanmar doesn't recognize them as an ethnic group it calls them. what was then the burmese government stripped ranger of their citizenship in one thousand nine hundred two last november the security council passed the resolution demanding b.m.r. hold to military action against the rangers but the potential for veto power of myanmar allies china russia has stalled anything stronger than that at a news conference china's representative stated his country's position. is to seize

majlis to cease fire so he's to try to find a solution to something. at least just present the root causes when a journalist asked the u.n. delegates which of them used the word ranger china's representative appeared not to understand but didn't raise his hand later he told me china respects what richenda call themselves united nations security council delegation came here to assess the magnitude of this crisis and what they've seen today and some of the stories that they've heard of no doubt giving them a fair indication of just how terrible the situation is here. it's fair to say they will probably hear a very different story in riyadh from the government there and that means translating their findings into concrete unified political action at the security

old buck it's time to sport his tatyana. thank you so much barcelona have secured the spanish league title with a record four games to spasov to elena messi hot trick evolved as side to afford to victory at the pool table on sunday giving them an unassailable lead over a second place at less accommodate in the standings these were the themes as barcelona fans celebrated the team's twenty fifth the league title is the second piece of silverware path to have won this thing and after also but in the capital right title. ok joining me now and then haywood spanish football writer for gold telecom thanks for joining me ben how impressive have past alona been to when the season was integrated very impressive this season it's you know not just this season seven titles now out of the last ten and this is and you know you dress

a little bit differently in terms of in some of the last name was gender world record transparency harrison's amount and is that going to take a name as coach change things around first of all for you to tighten things up it's perhaps not the. you know the beautiful ones to learn that we've seen in recent seasons but very very effective bosses are not expensive lou they've been very very strong and lunacy you know all the same presidents and i had better dresses throughout the whole season as a goal scorer and also as a creator does that make up for them being knocked out of the champions league. well i think it does you know a lot of fans were very disappointed by that you know are in nature that last of this they had a fall only from the first leg to lose three no away in rome very very disappointing but you know it was a ram of good going for a championship win in a row but that shouldn't take any of the shine of focus or richard you know a leader is still you know for me the best indication of the whole quality over

a long season and you know barcelona thirty four games as you mentioned being staged no team has ever won the league you know unbeaten at the end of the season so if they can achieve that let's remember there's a classic go ahead next weekend against real madrid and it really will be an impressive achievement the champions league shouldn't detract not really much. in the english premier league authen bangas the last trip to manchester united before stepping down as off no manager and in an agonizing two one defeat paul pogba gave the hosts an early lead but henry picked tyrion equalise fastenal just after the break and looked to be heading for a draw until modern fellaini scored the winner in injury time it means thank a side a win this in the last eleven games old trafford a big three points for united though the now five clarify place liverpool in the table with a game in hand will be the first time in five years if we finish

second but ok progress ok progress at many levels but not enough. to be first instead of seconds and not enough to win the champions the instead of the republic but enough to finish second to be stable to to win some trophy is to reach some finals but there needs we need more. manchester city sealed the e.p.l. title weeks ago but now they're one goal short of the premier league record having pets for past west ham on sunday city have scored one hundred two goals this season the current mark to beat is one hundred three and always just to play for something you know once we won the premier league you know the target you know the numbers the way we played always remained but the numbers are there and always the numbers

we're going to achieve one will be break. but they will do you know will not be easy so they will have to play good to break the records are going to break and that's why. it's it's good you know to to see something to fight or to do to fight each other and to achieve something the sadie's driver lewis hamilton won the formula one azerbaijan grand prix on sunday to take the to take over the championship lead from ferrari's sebastian vettel but in an incident packed race it was a disastrous day and backing for red bull heading grayson. lewis hamilton has struggled to match the pace of sebastian vettel so far this season and it looked like he would be second best again as the ferrari driver led from pole him back but this would turn out to be anything but an ordinary race the circuit proving to type to some in the early stages the battle for top dog at red bull has been building

between max for stop and daniel ricardo and that came to a head on the track. running into the back of his teammates and red leading back to with no points to share that saw the safety car come out with just a few laps remaining in savings about three test leading the way from vettel but the german drive the last places to hamilton and teammate kenny right came in on the restart and just as bought us looked to be cruising to the win a puncture ended his race. handing victory to a subdued hamilton with reichen and taking second and said you prez putting post india on the podium for the first time since twenty sixteen really quite an emotional race to be on a suit about three did such an exceptional job today and really deserved to have the win. sebastian did a great job i think was really really fortunate say so feels a bit odd to be up here but i got to take it i mean i didn't give up i kept pushing

but definitely a very untidy race for me both hamilton's unlikely when sees him move four points ahead of vettel in the drive the standings f one now returns to europe for the spanish graeme free in two weeks time telling gleason i'll just there. tennis now in the king of clay otherwise known as rafa nadal has won a record eleventh title at the boss alone open the spaniard beating greek tait i just stephanus in the past six two six one in fundies final isn't a doll's fifty fifth career title long play and a seventy seven five year old the thirty one year old has now won nineteen successive matches and forty six consecutive said one has a vista this. yesterday and today was my best matches and ave happy for the big daddy of course against very difficult about it like like. that he has an amazing career that i think by the was i was a great fight a lot very happy. eleventh i got here means
