from. head. to the news straight at the table in singapore because south korea might be coming that is of course the talks between north korea and the us. that may well happen bring you the latest news from the. trade dispute between the united states. used american clothes trying to protect the streets. of america. losing some of its trade benefits to the u.s. . also in the spotlight for

a controversial english football team i'm sorry. a.j. . this isn't a refugee from. four stories to rescue a child dangling from the balcony of the presidential. french citizenship. so just how many world leaders will be at this meeting in singapore which let's not forget five days ago was officially canceled this is when it comes to the donald trump. which if it does go ahead may well include the south korean president as well there is intense diplomatic discussions happening in the background. as it's

been confirmed an american delegation is on the ground in north korea meeting officials there and the north has sent its own team to china which is the other big player in all of this andrew thomas is covering events for us from seoul here he is with the latest what a difference one frenetic weekend can make and now looks like it's full steam ahead for a summit in singapore on june twelfth as originally planned has been a u.s. delegation inside north korea on monday led by song kim south korean born but the u.s. ambassador to the philippines he's been ambassador here in seoul in the past though he was very much involved in the six nation talks that took place while president bush was in office later president obama he knows the issue backwards he's been meeting with north korea's vice foreign minister chase on he again fluent english speaker she knows this issue backwards from a north korean point of view meanwhile in singapore over the coming days they'll be u.s. delegation and the north korean delegation meeting to discuss the logistics security

arrangements protocol that's all happening simle tiny asleep and if there is a summit on june the twelfth will president moon of south korea be there the blue house the presidential palace here in seoul said that though we're working on plans for president moon to be in singapore probably not for the beginning of the bilateral but it goes well between president trump and kim jong un if indeed it happens and president moon montjoy in at a later stage possibly minutes hours later but in singapore as well has been crucial to getting the other two leaders together and he would like a seat at the table. so i mean it does look good but then the diplomacy is really anyone's guess at this point in fact it has been ever since donald trump canceled the summit so what we want to focus on today is what is supposed to be discussed should it all happen a big catch word is denuclearization of the korean peninsula but what does that mean almost specifically what does that mean to the different sides joining us from washington to talk about that is not fitzpatrick director of the nonproliferation

program at the international institute for strategic studies and we just lost the picture can you still hear me we've lost him completely that's what happens doesn't it with live television i'm going to keep talking because i think we might just be able to get mark fitzpatrick can you hear me i can hear you i can hear your questions fantastic well yes sorry that you can't see me though no we got you back now we just lost the picture for a second right so first of all thank you for giving up some of your memorial day holiday or have or are you so let's talk about denuclearization because this is the key word and it gets thrown around and kim jong un even says oh we're committed to denuclearization what do you think or do we have any idea of what north korean denuclearization might look like from their perspective from their perspective denuclearize ation means. most importantly removing the nuclear threat that they perceived from the united states they talk about nuclear weapons in south korea

there aren't any but more importantly the u.s. nuclear umbrella the nuclear deterrence with which united states protects south korea and ideally they would like that threat removed that's what they need through a station which course is very different from what the united states and the other parties mean of totally removing north korea's nuclear weapons program right so that's what was going to be my next question that's what the u.s. and its allies would lied you're saying there is zero chance of that happening or very little chance. well i think what's likely to happen is that north korea will again agree to the goal of denuclearization as they did in the pond one jump summit with south korea on the twenty seventh of april a goal is aspirational and the key will be to put a timeline to that goal to say that within the next two years that they will make steady progress toward that goal and put in some signposts along the way that's

the normal way one does diplomacy is a step by step to order or if they get that this summit will be a success remind me where we are with the u.s. nuclear position as i remember it at least under president obama there was talk about reducing stalls how much of that happened and i'm guessing on the president trump it wouldn't go any further in fact could reverse. well over the years since the end of the cold war the united states drew down its nuclear arsenal by three quarters most of that happened under h. george h.w. bush and then clinton and then george w. bush and actually obama didn't remove too many more there are some some small reduction happening now but the trend is being reversed because the trumpet ministration is giving more salience to nuclear weapons in the nuclear posture

review they. spoke more strongly about the need for nuclear deterrence so the trend is being reversed in the united states quick final thought on this is not a specific new quick question it's more about the talk you think they are actually going to happen your head starts to spin off for a while with all the back and forth you think this will actually go ahead as there's been so many plot turns in this story you know it's one hesitates to predict but i think it will happen because both sides somewhat want it to happen you know donald trump wants this for his legacy for his so-called nobel prize aspirations to do something obama never did and kim jong un wants it he wants to sit down at the table with a superpower and to you know one nuclear power to another so this will be a big win for kim if he can pull this off my fitzpatrick pleasure to talk to you as always thank you quite happy to talk to you we got the picture back. can't do

television without pictures can you maybe you want to get in touch with us on that story or any of the other stories which we've got coming up on the news grid today with the hash tag as always ash hash tag a.j. news grid or you can reply to the to eight in the a.j. english twitter feed i've just retreated that as well if you want to drop in on that thread they were looking for your responses at facebook dot com slash al-jazeera the live stream up and running as always for you to comment to us and amongst yourselves as always some lively discussion there and plus one seven four five zero one triple one four nine is your whatsapp and telegram number to contact us directly now let's move on leaflets dropping from the sky it seems fairly innocuous when i say it like that but in syria it is the government's way of warning a major military offensive is on the way it's happened in happened in rebel held parts of that are and that's big because there are is near the israeli occupied golan heights now israel's long been worried that assad government advance would bring his allies iran with it and there are talks with russia and the u.s.

hoping to avoid any escalation we'll have a look at on the who controls what met from al jazeera dot com just for a bit of context you've got an area to the north here italy province which is still in rebel control and then further down here this is the area we're talking about closer to the golan heights of go to zoomed in map here to explain a little bit more again the green areas in rebel held a rebel held the red areas are government held now of and got a pink highlight pinned here unfortunate but imagine if all this area around here is taken back by the government forces and the iranian allies for israel that means that iranian forces this close to them here right on the edge of the golan heights israel is just that is a situation which they would definitely want not want to live with more on all of this now from xenophobia she is in neighboring lebanon. the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov saying that the syrian army should be the only force present at the southern border syria southern border russia making clear its position as

well we understand behind the scenes negotiations continue between international and regional players to find some sort of an arrangement for the future of the provinces in the southern and southwestern syria. the syrian government as of late really the government media they've been beating the drums of war saying that they have been sending troops to the front lines and dropping leaflets from government helicopters telling rebels to surrender so the syrian government making clear that that is their next target but that is different from other areas because there are international and regional players involved the united states israel jordan because of its geo strategic location jordan and israel for example they both do not want to see iranian troops or iranian allied troops on their borders so if there is any arrangement or any deal that it

will definitely not involve iranian troops taking part in any battle but we understand is what they're trying to do is reach some sort of an arrangement whereby the rebels decide to lay down their arms and to surrender those who want to leave to the rebel controlled problems have it live in the northwest will be able to do so but state authority will return to this area jordan doesn't want to see any escalation as well because it will create a refugee crisis it also wants to open its border crossing there which is really vital for trade so international and regional negotiations behind the scenes to try to find a solution to this corner of syria what to do in this corner of syria to avoid a military a military conflict that could bring in regional powers. yes that little corner of syria's just on the golan heights issue israel is actually try. to get the u.s. to recognize israeli sovereignty over the occupied golan heights presumably off the back of its support for jerusalem as israel's capital israel's intelligence minister says if assad becomes an iranian proxy then sooner or later he's

condemning unself because israel is acting against iran in syria that news from al-jazeera dot com just a couple of days ago now of all the things for two countries to have a trade dispute over this second hand clothes would usually be pretty low on the list and yet in rwanda that is exactly what we are seeing it started when rwanda raised tariffs on used clothes coming in from the united states rwanda was trying to protect its own garment industry the u.s. responded by threatening to pull rwanda's duty free access to some of its products and that benefit is due to expire on monday and there is precedent for this is where uganda tanzania kenya they all tried the same thing raising tariffs on their own but then they write down after the u.s. threatened their trade access just like they're doing to rwanda now you know the global trade in secondhand clothes is actually pretty big business the u.n. estimates it was worth always five billion dollars in twenty fifteen and oxfam says

at least seventy percent of hand me down governments find their way to africa the top three exporters of used clothes they are the united states germany and britain are the top importers are uganda hungary and ghana earlier for some analysis we heard from an account nairobi based investment advisor chief executive of rich management he was actually in london he believes africa has really just become a dumping ground for cheap goods from all these other countries. if we're going to develop our industries we simply cannot compete against this deluge of cheap clothes i think president got me is one individual who's not going to be rolled over in this particular situation and he's going to make a stand and this is an attempt by africa to get leverage on the value chain it's an attempt to develop industry it's an attempt to industrialize and essentially you know we've seen all our industries hollowed out one of the classic examples is

actually textile manufacturing which is now being addressed in east africa and i think it's important that we look at things holistically and if we're going to look at it holistically we can't talk about the industrialization of africa on one hand and then be dumping africa with all kinds of of goods and in this case in the case of used clothes so i think he has to stand he is the president of the african union and absolutely we've got to draw a line in the sand somewhere and this is the right line to be drawn i think we have a very transactional government in the u.s. they're looking at it entirely through the prism of of u.s. national interest the definition of which is quite strange at times it seems extremely transactional i don't think trump looks at the continent in the same way previous administrations did and previous administrations were trying to lend a helping hand we're trying to create jobs within the continent that was the silver

bullet that i go it was meant to be all about we've got enormous demographics you people call the demographic dividend but it's not going to be a demographic dividend in less we create jobs and what we have seen is in tech sells in particular there is an enormous opportunity to employ our people but we're not going to be able to employ anyone if we allow this to continue in the way it is . and just last year finnish senegalese journalist and bella pharaoh's this feature piece for around to zero dot com about the secondhand clothing industry in senegal apparently eighteen and a half thousand tons of used clothes are imported to senegal every year but there are as she says economic ecological and ethical concerns about such an industry you can read about them for yourself or down to zero dot com if you search for senegal clothes when i go back to rwanda for a moment though and actually another controversy there to do with money the country the whole country the government if you like signed

a sponsorship deal with the english football team arsenal to become the club's first official sleeve sponsor sarra how is this one playing out with people there welcome all the governor and his government has had to actually defend its decision after being criticised for spending an estimated forty million dollars on a three year advertising deal with also as of next season players will wear a sleeve with a visit rwanda logo on it and that's increased terrorism in the east african nation but the deal hasn't gone down very well with many because you rhonda so relies on foreign aid for a significant percentage of its budget now the agreement was spearheaded by rhonda's development board which wants to welcome more tourists and investors the run is very exciting to pack now we've asked an open plan because we see a partnership that is going to have benefits between the two organisations. also tweeted that rwanda's plans to double its tourism revenue to eight hundred million

dollars by twenty twenty four which won't happen she says by sitting and waiting but will be by being proactive and marketing runs as a tourist destination in its of ways but also nobody's the deal with will bring runs into people's minds in a new way and it plans to host football camps for one does you still people all criticizing the club for accepting such a big sum of money especially a country where more than sixty percent of the population still lives on as lethal as a dollar a day i mean that's not france so it's not i say i'm against us and i think that's not going to good business for himself before i can collect or want to put in not that much money that's a million pounds when your goods and swartz sixty sixty two million pounds i think it's a bad investment and i think that the government should have done something better i snapped it up also going to take money from people i can't tell the people whose commonly they are one time it's my money and the fact that the money is spending

money on a plot that is the final also bring the sentiment to the whole thing i don't support it i think it's a wrong business. well spent nearly twenty four years after the genocide in rwanda and its economy has struggled to recover every years but some locals said they'd prefer to see that money put to better use. is no justification for a developing country to spend such an amount of money. with regards to just marketing into trying to promote tourism so the way that i look at it is that's it would have helped if the injected that's kind of money into it direct investment which for example creates jobs helps build schools etc. now one does minister of state has told the dutch parliament to mind its own business when it question tower can afford such a deal an ad saying that rwanda uses revenues from national parks so he says to

promote investment answers and the key word he says is aiming at self reliance but such m.p. job boards run replied saying why not our business that would be the case if we had no relationship with the rand bots we do in fact every a five million euros in tax money goes to the country and we are very committed to the people of the country of course referring to rwanda and i would love to hear from you to send us your thoughts throughout the show whether it's on the story or any other story can live tweet us and read your comments on facebook as well the hash tag is a day care such an interesting story that one isn't it thank you sarah and now we look at the extraordinary cycling situation in amman a few days ago we're now going to turn to some weather out of the u.k. and the u.s. at least one person is dead after his car was submerged in water during heavy flooding in russia all in the english midlands but separately michelle religious recorded thousands of lightning strikes during a powerful thunderstorm some of the reports twenty thousand strikes disrupted more

than two hundred flights at london's stansted airport which is rotten timing because it's a long weekend over there and while parts of the country could see more rain in other areas it could apparently be the hottest day of the year you might say a typically english summer unpredictable there's also a holiday weekend in the united states and a devastating one for people in ellicott city maryland cleaning up after heavy rain colds major flooding that have been no immediate reports of casualties or injuries the governor has declared a state of emergency this same area was affected by flash floods in the two years ago and two people were killed there. well you told us on the news good the other day that you liked having our weather presenters in studio so we brought another one back here richard angwin with us today those pictures out of maryland how do you get that much water in what was it five or six hours yes six hours is from seven in the evening through one o'clock the following morning it was phenomenal and there is there are very few ways you can get that much rainfall if we look at

the satellite imagery there was a little train of thunderstorms as just one after the other after the other and you see then as we start to see the sequence moving just seem to cross baltimore they don't look all that impressive having said that but that's what there was just one line going to cross the whole time is over the line with the wind and as a result if you like you all the rain one thunderstorm and all the rain for the next one and so we're about thirty four centimeters of rainfall coming down in a very very precise area where you expect band precise area but then other areas around both or more which went well that is a suburb of baltimore if you got to if you got to the airport here they had something like three centimeters and in the harbor got seven centimeters they were looking at thirty four centimeters of rain which is just you know is an amazing amount of rainfall and as i mentioned two years ago it happened as well so not an isolated events no. the rain for two years ago it was

a similar sort of situation sort of begs the question how can some are like that get to one of the thousand year events into a few years and the answer is i don't know. and he uncertain educated but i would have to say that they were extremely unlucky there are you know we've got warmer waters which sort of lends itself towards increased storm frequency but why that particular suburb if you like got at the certainly development issues there i think that's issues or more concrete more people but they were very furry unlucky to get it twice in where they're all climate change them. it's only a weather event the climate change element is possibly then i think it might be the fact that we're getting all this stuff was coming out from the south from from then towards the caribbean and all these areas they got higher sea temperatures these day sea temperatures are above average most weather stories now i can trace back to higher sea temperatures not the case there so it may have played into the into this

scenario with this some higher rainfall event coming twice in such a short space of time can i ask you quickly about the lightning as well in the u.k. i mean i know lightning storms in the early times summer it's not it's not uncommon but twenty thousand lightning strikes sounds a lot to me is it was ninety thousand over the weekend are all we can gather over all of the u.k. because it wasn't just one of those whole series of storms it's quite early in the season to get this normally if you can see a big outbreak of thunderstorms that comes what we call a spanish flu which comes out from the south during august september time so it's actually very early and it was exceptions a vast amount of energy u.k. sort of in the clear a little bit now those sort of storms i think on the way out for the u.k. but there's still loads of energy across europe ready to be used up and storms i think for posts like northern france and through the low countries over the next couple days they could be seeing the same sort of things and maybe the disruption will move from stance that you can see there to some of the other airports around no one and europe holiday lines on a bank been down sooner. and yet it could have been the hottest day in other parts

of. britain is not a big country how do you hat and in presidential a lot of states anywhere else because everything you just may live there long enough that we get to get contrast when seen see temperatures still quite low at this time of year so sometimes you get colder come in other times the sun getting her in the sky in a as is here but in the u.k. is high enough to produce temperatures that high but there's a lot of warm air coming all the way across the continent and it's going to hang around so maybe not the u.k. tomorrow be someone else's turn tomorrow with someone else's terms that richard lovely talking to you as always thank you very much and richard in the rest of the way the team are regularly updating their twitter page at a je weather for all the latest meteorology news from all over the world and there is also the weather page at al-jazeera dot com as well which you can look at that is in the more menu. now brazil's government has lowered the price of diesel fuel as it tries to end a week long strike by truck drivers the union has recommended

a return to work but the drivers are refusing to do so many of blocked roads in cities and towns across brazil they're angry over what they say are high operating costs strike has led to shortages of basic goods and medical supply here is daniel he's live in sao paolo for us tell us about what's happening behind you the queue of people there. where this is a gas station in sao paolo we've passed several on the way here from the airport where there's no petrol whatsoever this one does actually have petrol we're told that the queue outside this gas station is four kilometers long and there's only enough petrol to fill two kilometers about maybe what we have a motorcyclists we have cars we have many people bringing any plastic bottles they can find to fill that with petrol that apparently is illegal here in brazil but people are desperate to get petrol any which way they can and we've heard stories

of people being without petrol since late last week others have been sleeping in their cars overnight to be first in that queue to get to the petrol station and then off to what happens is people are queuing for four or five hours they get there just as the gas runs out and then sit around waiting because they have no option until the tankers arrive and has very few tankers arriving those that do often have a police escort but they're simply not enough arriving to meet the demand and as a result the streets of sao paolo are unusually clear of traffic on monday morning here monday midday the streets they usually jam packed with cars but not today what do you think about a potential solution to the whole strike daniel because diesel prices have come down the government be saying that's a concession we've made but clearly the striking truck drivers want more. brazil is a huge country two hundred million people what happens in the capital brasilia the negotiations intense negotiations thing going on there since the middle of last

week they do occasionally reach some kind of agreement with truck drivers unions but those unions as truck drivers associate associations don't always represent the huge number of truck drivers in brazil some of them very very angry about the rising price especially of diesel which has gone up substantially in the last few months as a result of high world fuel prices and the declining state of the brazilian currency the reality the people are suffering the same they can barely make ends meet some people are in agreement with those accords with only temporary partial measures anyway for thirty days or sixty days to allow more time for negotiation has very little in the way of long term solutions being put forward it's a very weak government with a fragile economy and is elections here in october so the government really with very little to play with they have said that petrobras the state all company will reduce those prices by ten percent but that means the government has to compensate

them this is the government which doesn't really have the spare cash we're talking about one of the quarter billion dollars of compensation it's money it doesn't really have the same time the country has been brought to its knees in a very short time the government of the brazilian people desperate for a solution but a long term solution doesn't seem to be on the cards just yet thanks for the update in sao paolo. just before we hit the break some of your comments and you've been very vocal on the north korea situation not a lot of trust out there i would say marcus if the north korean dictator is just going to say what anyone wants to hear and do whatever he wants i wouldn't trust him and richard said do nuclearization would only happen if it's based on north korea terms they would never agree to the american interpretation of it there was also a question here from facebook life i spoke to accomplish al-jazeera on syria. could you tell us how long the war in syria will continue now i think would be the short answer there it's gone on for eight years which is probably longer than any of us

would have thought but if you go back to that map which i showed you earlier and you can look at it at al-jazeera dot com syria who controls what look at how much of the countries in red now look at how much of the country is controlled by the syrian government that side the territory side you would say that pretty much won the war the key is what sort of diplomatic solution can be found thank you for all your comments and questions we'll come to a few more of the major perhaps on rwanda the clothing situation there and the os and all sponsorship deal this is the news great if you're watching us on facebook live our object plus prince examine the one thing all the mass shootings in the u.s. have in common and then later living with a disability the latest in our series as we hear from an artist who makes a living as a painter despite having you know. welcome back across the levant and western parts of asia we've got one frontal system just

clearing away those eastern areas so brightly conditions coming in behind it tashkent their respective highs of twenty eight all looking fine around the caspian sea for the most part variable amounts of cloud mrs to fifty through the caucuses and into parts of turkey also worth noting we could see quite a bit of dust i think moving through parts of iraq during the course of choose day and maybe into wednesday as well otherwise weather conditions around the eastern side of the mediterranean to bout that. highs of twenty six bright in beirut but with a chance of one or two showers so let's then head on down into the arabian peninsula weather conditions looking largely fine and hot that she expected forty four degrees in mecca we have still got the remnants of our tropical sign climate qunu which is just circulating so the rubble cowley region and really and then the border with saudi and yemen and oman the still a chance that they all share his little weakness that i wanted to show us on the coast of a man too but otherwise looking fine here in doha it's looking good thirty nine degrees the high not a great deal of change on wednesday though it probably hit the forty mark meanwhile

down across and southern portions of africa we have got a frontal system effect in south africa and the could well be some heavy showers affecting durban at times. in the next episode of earth royce nik talk to him to greenpeace crew on a voyage through the whittlesey to highlight the importance of protecting this from child on top ecosystems against an expanding list of manmade threats beneath the surface of this magnificent desolation is just teeming with life of bees and so the remote just moves on and celtic century on al-jazeera.

and women who are gathered there for memorial day or right let's go to london now and here is barbara sara with more international news. hello there come on let's begin in italy where the president has appointed an interim prime minister after weeks of talks failed to produce a government and sparked a political crisis can look at that a leader who is a former international monetary fund official has been tasked with passing the country's budget and planning fresh elections this comes after president said that i love vetoed the choice of a euro skeptic politician as economy minister angering the two populist parties who wanted to form a coalition government john holl has more. political convulsions in italy beat the new prime minister designate not a political figure but a former international monetary fund official.

must underline that the government will maintain a neutrality a total neutrality with respect to the electoral debate i will not be a candidate for the next elections and a similar commitment from the members of the government. must now come up with a workable list of ministers but he's unlikely to survive a confidence vote in a parliament stacked against him so the new government will likely become a lame duck interim government until fresh elections in the autumn on the weekend president sergio rejected the euro skeptic finance minister proposed by the five star movement northern league coalition dashing their hopes of becoming europe's first far right populist government they've been calls for mass protests and the president's impeachment as head of state the latter seems constitutionally unlikely but it's a nasty turn that sets the scene for a potentially ugly standoff we are going to see throughout the next three. years

and the overarching the people versus the. establishment that with the head of state for the first time becoming the main target of the entire campaign there's also the economy to worry about italy's cost of borrowing is rising with the political uncertainty if the country's sky high debt were to become unserviceable then real crisis would arrive in the euro zone's third largest economy add to that a debate that will only grow louder perhaps angrier now about italy's membership of the eurozone as the nationalist northern league and anti establishment five star movement vie for an even bigger slice of the next electoral pine. carlo carter really did his best to calm the waters if you will. in the past few days tensions have increased on the financial markets you know that the spread has increased but . still growing and the budget remains under control i can assure you that

a government run by me will guarantee a prudent handling of public accounts. in italy political instability is a fact of life so they'll be little surprise about these twists and turns but no less anxiety over the outcome. al-jazeera. well from italy let's go to another country that threatens the stability of the eurozone and that is greece the economic crisis there might officially be over but life is still difficult for many people to avert bankruptcy the country received the largest bailout in history but that also meant workers took a huge pay cut with incomes forming around fifteen percent john psaropoulos reports from athens. several times a week a leg from that was really my previous sings for his supper he earns about twenty dollars an hour four times as much as in his regular part time job as a shoe salesman with two sources of income he helps support the household he grew

up in but he cannot invest in his own future five years ago he unrolled in a robotics degree course at kalki the polytechnic two hours' drive from athens but he can't afford to rent an apartment there so his studies are progressing slowly. at the present rate it'll take me another ten years to graduate i'll be thirty five and at that age it'll be really difficult to find a job in my area of expertise he's one of the many victims of salary cuts averaging fifteen percent during the economic crisis creditors demanded cuts to make the economy more competitive the official minimum wage is now six hundred ninety dollars a month before tax but experts say the salary cuts won't affective in the absence of other reforms. while salary cuts should have led to a cut in the prices of products and services they didn't because product markets are to a great extent monopolies are all the companies we have a large number of multinationals operating in this country we didn't lower the cost

of their products they benefited from the salary cuts but they didn't become more competitive. hough of new jobs a part time or seasonal and that still leaves twenty percent of workers are employed around a million greeks and there is so much under employment the labor institute greece's leading employment think tank says the real jobless total is closer to twenty seven percent but the worst effect of the crisis is loss of income the dramatic drop in incomes has created a class of working poor the risk of poverty has doubled during the crisis to thirty five percent of the population that's a rate unmatched anywhere in western europe and it is twice as high among working age adults and the children who depend on them as it is among pensioners many greeks such as me money this no longer see the point in learning skills or higher education greeks are forced to accept jobs their overqualified for which leads many to go broad the labor institute says government leaders need new policies to

encourage entrepreneurship and employment entice companies to lower their prices and for the cost of labor to fall without serious reforms like these many greeks fear for all their education they'll likely remain the buskers of europe jumps out over los altos or athens. four and a half thousand pairs of shoes on display in brussels one for every life that's been lost in the conflict between israel and palestine over the last ten years have been set up here the european council building e.u. foreign ministers have been meeting to discuss the recent unrest the shoes were donated to a human rights group from people across europe organizers are calling on the e.u. to play sanctions on israel for its own going violence against palestinians in gaza . the wife of korean air stammen is the latest member of the family that controls the airline to be accused of bad behavior more than ten people have alleged that lee myung hee assaulted household staff and construction workers who were

or you who fell from the fifth floor i think i like children a lot i don't want for something bad to happen to them in front of me it would have broken my heart i ran i thought of ways to rescue him thank god i climbed up and i saved him because the next day the mayor of paris said she'd spoken decus summer revealing he was a molly and refugee without papers he explained to me that he had arrived from mali a few months ago dreaming of building his life here thousands of people had signed an online petition calling on france to grant guest sama residency hailed as a hero by so many people he was in fight it to meet the french president and with the good news in due time when i began to climb it gave the courage to keep going. to get through it all happened very fast after i save the child i suddenly became scared the police came and took us inside the apartment i was shaking all over. the summer had arrived at the elisei as an illegal immigrant and came out with

a promise of french citizenship and award for his bravery and did job with the fire brigade in the neighborhood where the events took place people had gathered to look . for is where that amazing rescue took place if you look up about friends with a sharp points on the top moment or i guess some would have had the scale that then up the bones for balconies and from that perspective it looks incredibly high and that is why is that act of bravery has really captured the imagination of so many people fought from across the world was left in a chair law i think you did it spontaneously and did not think it would have. of this impact it's great he's been recognized french authorities say the father of the boy had gone shopping leaving his son alone he's been taken into custody meanwhile this summer's coming to terms with his new found fame in a country where the debate over refugees has a long defied his opinion especially butler al-jazeera paris

a legend not stories and it's our especially absolutely saying in these times and him a great sentiments that you get anyway. because i'm not the only one being held here you've been looking at a story of a police officer in india something else are we absolutely coming out of india is a different part of the world completely and it's this man just hair that's the thing a secret police officer in the indian town of cans and this is the video of him that went viral it starts with him standing next to a muslim youngster who is trying to reason with an angry group of people they were unhappy that he's been hanging out with a hindu girl things got out of hand very quickly and that's when officers saying stepped in to protect the youngster and when he refused to hand over the boy the group was said to have chanted anti police slogans but the rhetoric online was very different people overwhelmingly thanked saying for restoring their faith in humanity in fact so many people have been publicly thanking sing on social media

and in also calling him a hero not just for doing his duty but for being a good human and seek and it's off the back of recent more branchings where police have looked on and haven't really intervened now many believe that the world actually needs more policemen like the saying and just says he's a great example of how to protect the less fortunate regardless of religion creed or status but also the indian police has been jumping on the bandwagon they've taken to social media commending him for his handling of a very tricky situation but it's officer singh has been quite humble saying that he was just doing his job to save a life. regardless of whether the angst was in the system and he's added that religion shouldn't come into it he's also thanks favre on social media for spreading his story bots he stopped short of saying that they are also to blame what social media is for inciting religious hatred in the country as well so some have also been questioning the government saying why is it not doing enough to end

such attacks on different people because the sectarian violence that is only put the police offices light saying put their lives rather at risk now he was on his own and could have cause gone horribly wrong but i just want to show you something that's being shed online quite a lot because this is officer saying that's been turned into a drawing and you can see that the person in bracing him is the most them young but it's also got the bandana saying in this point they're trying to make that religion doesn't matter people have to help people out so that's the most the picture that we want to hear more from you and we want to hear your stories as well if there's anything you think we should be covering in your country or region you can tweet me directly your ideas i'm. thank you saw and actually one of the stories started to do a little bit earlier about the rwanda sponsorship of awesomeness wanted to read a quick message from the very nuanced message actually you said if the goal is to increase government to resume revenue to raise one hundred million dollars if they

meet that goal and they're still in a donation then you should be letting the people speak about this any proposals or activities to make african countries self-sufficient should be welcome as far as they keep your views coming in the hash tag is a genius good twitter facebook whatsapp and telegram. now still to come for you. actually if you're watching on facebook live in other stories coming up about an office to recycles old make up columns and then more on on our investigation into cricket match fixing the documentaries out there it's making the ripples around the world quick look at some international weather.

it is critical for his have called for a criminal investigation into match fixing following an investigation by al-jazeera is investigative unit and a player and an official have been suspended while while cricket's governing body the i.c.c. investigates the case and if you want a cricket follow i'm going to give you a quick rundown of what the al-jazeera documentary uncovered the first thing is spot fixing players being paid to score a certain number of runs this apparently happened in a particular segment of england's twenty sixteen test against india in chennai

there is pitch doctoring for example the groundsman being paid to prepare a surface which was difficult to bash on and suited the spin bowling of the home team in this case it was sri lanka hosting australia and goal that match down in less than three days should have gone for five and the investigation also exposed plans to set up a t twenty cricket tournament in dubai specifically and profiting through match fixing absolutely blatant this story is the result of a two year long investigation and it is making global headlines literally this is the front page of the daily telegraph in the u.k. plot to fix england test match and then in the sports section further in it's in been picked up by a lot of global media the b.b.c. their cricket australia is now demanding that zero unit hands over the evidence of the fixing claims so it can investigate what we have got delete premature and then with us cricket columnist for the independent joining us via skype from bangalore nice to have you with us so late. look the whole issue of match fixing spot fixing

in the first place should we be really that surprised in the first place that it is still going on. no tolly you've seen twenty twentieth's mushroom around the world in the past decade the i started out even before that those indian cricket league in india which was notorious elop dundee at the time there were pubs you could go to where betting on these matches was rampant and a lot of people called it a mate and fixing league and it it was ultimately that misfortune. so i mean you can't except as i say you we as people who watch and enjoy cricket and pay money to go and see it it can't accept it but by the same token it seems pretty difficult to stamp out as well where is the where is the happy medium here there's no way you can stamp it out when there's such a disparity in their incomes that players make in india australian england where they have century context and where they have the i.p.l.

and the big bash there is make a comfortable living they don't need to get into. unholy alliances with people like texas but if you're from she don't go or you know bungled asian countries where the dissension contacts are very low compared to a lot their contemporaries me the temptation is always there because a lot of these players don't get i.p.l. contracts they don't get the contract so they're looking out to see how they can secure their futures and these fixers latch on to that insecurity so other than the money side of things that is there anything in particular about cricket which makes it more susceptible to this type of spot fixing or not it's actually just happening in a lot of sports. for sure because cricket is a repetitive sport unlike football for example there's no way you could have predicted what garrett beard did on saturday night and you know if you take that but if it's cricket when a ball is ball and you know there are i want

a finite number about guns but if you've watched enough cricket you can sort of and to spit sometimes what's going to happen at the batsman they sent the previous bottoms four out and fast bowler you can almost sense of the fastball will come in and the chip shot in shape to prevent him playing another attack and shot so that in the indicated sense it's made it's a much more predictable game and that makes it easier for people to bet and there are so many events to bet on that if your majesty hundred balls does say that six hundred balls six hundred outcomes to better a quick final question for you about where you started to talk about the different types of games that it seems twenty twenty cricket would be particularly susceptible because it's a short form game and there are these almost pop up tournament that just happened all over the world like a a travelling circus of of the twenty exactly i've just been reading about the new one in canada there's a proposed ten ten league in saudi arabia which they're planning to together those

ten intent dormant in the usa last year so then why shooting all over the place and those who invest money they don't necessarily make money out of t.v. rights or anything else where does the money come from not doing it to charity so think about it all comes down to money doesn't it delay premature hundred joining us to talk cricket thank you so much do appreciate that. but if you buy the a twenty fifty the number of people living with disabilities in cities across the world is expected to reach nine hundred and forty million now for the last few days we've been looking at what life is like for them and the difficulties caused by the lack of accessibility and transportation this is the last in our series and i've already an artist tells us of his frustrations while trying to get the most from a different. my name is. i am a painter. my painting is based on nature and villages to show
