you'd really need something that evolved to survive in the conditions that we have on mars in terms of low temperature low pressure got a lot of water around and so unless we had something that was introduced that happened to be able to survive in those conditions i think it would be unlikely for something to arise on mars at this point but you never know it could be something that's unlike any life we've ever seen before we're same pitches of the rover the curiosity rover there for the cost to send it to mars so it's really seems to have done its work while he's been up there doesn't oh definitely you know it's been almost six earth years at this point and we've made a lot of really interesting discoveries in terms of the past habitability of mars and the rover still going strong so we've got a lot more of this mountain of layered lakes that emits to drive up so we don't know what else we might be able to find very grateful for your time tony and are some thanks very much for joining us great thanks so much for having me. so i had this news our.

his nonviolent resistance movement historian say gandhi was a police make a man who fought for social and political reform through past serve is the stance he inspired leaders including nelson mandela and us civil rights leader martin luther king but some people insist he was not a hero two years ago students and lecturers in ghana campaign to remove a statue of gandhi from the main university because of what they said were his racist comments about africans gandee was a rampant researched when he went to the post office and he saw there was a line for whites and it's his petition basically and forgive my language said how can you put us with the cafferty because re are not barbarians we come from the civilized aryan stock and the said racial theory too would wait for our unions and the europeans were joined at the hip and africa. one step

sensational for losing just for more games to ok spot in the seventy five though has never lost a match at the french open once he has made it to the stage well it's fair to say that there were the rain delay helps me yesterday but will not fair that says the conditions that they held the conditions that there was were the same for both and . more aggressive. the level of. intensity they bled after the first stop and in my opinion that the match change in of course he's a tough opponent and he's going to be always a tough match. no dels opponent in the final four will be another argentine kwan martin del potro the two thousand and nine u.s. open champion i would imagine also a carryover from wednesday because of rain the world number sixty eight measuring chinny chin four six two inches first french open same final since two thousand and nine i. fill in those old hubby.

to made the right decision for play here and i am doing well. of course i didn't expect to get some if i notice couple of weeks before but. i'm still. in my physically it's good. hopefully be ready for tomorrow. that's a look at the main male little move onto the women's side of things and a dominant performance from world number one simona halep sees her reach the final of roland garros for the third time in her career she closes in on what could be her first ever grand slam title the romanian beat of the twenty sixteen champion got to be near to advance she won quite comfortably six one six four against the number three seen from spain gallup has lost three previous grand slam finals in

her career including two at roland garros back in twenty fourteen as well as twenty seventeen. i think was a very good level the whole match even if the first set was six one she didn't give up a point it was very nice to play like that really happy that they could beat a player like she is a great open and great player and it's always tough against her i think i played very well and even if i played the best match here so every day i play better and that makes me happy. i mean it is a tough day today it is a very tough day because you know it's one of those matches where you train so hard to you know to achieve a grand slam final so. i think she did she played very well she deserved it so happy because it's a great tournament you know you're disappointed because you're very close for the

final match but it's very good waiting for simona halep in the fire and all the is current u.s. open champion from the united states low stevens and of history so it's really in their match as well six four six four against fellow american madison she. now golden state warriors are on the verge of winning their third n.b.a. title in four years kevin durant's starred on a poor shoes a nod to steph curry as they beat the cleveland cavaliers one hundred ten one hundred two to take a kamandi three nothing lead in the best of seven series his head in gleason with the story. he was straying at the time for the first time in the series the cavaliers sped up the energy of the fans in ohio and led the laureates for much of the first two coaches lebron james scored thirty three points in addition to ten

rebounds and then eleven assists for his ten career triple double and the n.b.a. finals hurried away. to play the god given ability the cavs may have held on to their advantage as they have done so many times that time had it not being the captors duran's sector. while stephan curry only managed eleven points but the worry is around florida korea best forty three. unfolding baseline three points in the final minutes which are the rats of victory for the warriors doctor who has an axe because last year was just tryna work the previous year and they sure were right was my answer now are there it is ok to read was my answer was one of the best players that ever played against that his league has ever seen his ability to and the ball shoot the ball you know make plays and his lead to his size and his speed so all there is i don't want to downplay anything but i want to act like this

isn't the end of a row you know saw. she's back to work tomorrow. you know figure out a better game we do some days and i. there we need to correct if we want to and. i'm just really just trying to come in and be the best team a player can be into you know this thing is over so you know it's going to stay like this. the arias will now have four chances to wrap up the title starting with game four in cleveland on friday telling face then out if there. is exactly a week to go before the world cup kicks off in russia fever president giani inventiveness is tournament officials are ready to address any issues of racism or discrimination if they happen just last month football's world governing body fined russia thirty thousand dollars for racist abuse and fringe players and infant tina says referees at the world cup will have the power to stop matches if that happens

again when it comes to discrimination would have clear procedures in place to fight discrimination including a three step process by the referees who can stop suspended you can abandon a match in case of discrimination we have a monitoring system including then immediate disciplinary sanctions if something would happen obviously wish that this doesn't happen and everyone is warned that if it happens this will have serious consequences meanwhile european champions portugal are putting the finishing touches to their preparations they were given a rousing sendoff by the country's president in lisbon who called them the best among the best that's despite failing to get past the round of sixteen in the last two competitions. my going to be so what i can guarantee is that we all have huge ambition of it both the national squad and the technical

stuff we know we're not favorites we have to be realistic but in football nothing is impossible and we have to think again by game's over from the first match and throughout the group stage which will be extremely difficult but i think that with this group of players we have to always think big while portugal's president but he's countryman farewell spain squad was given a royal sendoff king family pay the six to spend time with the national team ahead of their departure for russia spain won the world cup back in twenty ten in south africa and here's a quick look at some friendly matches that took place on thursday england getting ready for russia twenty eighteen costa rica with their opponents at the last world cup costa rica actually progressed from the group stages ahead of the english but on this occasion england would win to no elsewhere portugal soft algeria three million lisbon and iceland are currently drawing to two with gonna then that's all the sport it's back to syria london. thanks very much piers that is it from

a certain sense for this news hour and i will be back in a moment with much more of the day's news including that chunk of by meeting at the white house today don't go away.

incarcerated in russia's toughest prisons stripped of their liberties. and unexpected creative opportunities. a singing contest like no other offers a chance of redemption and hope for the talented few. the. tale of singers and murderous witness on al-jazeera. in archaeology graduate from iraq he's also a part time going to pergamon museum which includes a reconstruction of the famous ishtar gate in bubble most of the people he's showing around came to germany as refugees this is just one of several billion museums taking part in the project called the meeting point and as well as bringing

people together one of its aims is to emphasize the contribution of migrants right up to the present day to western culture. because i've been here for some time i can help them with lots of things that mrs ford to me the great thing is it's not just about museums about forming a new life here and part of life is culture. so i am totally prepared to walk away i did it once before president obama have come here also says he would come so they were inviting last way as they get to the u.s. at the summit in singapore goes well. hello again i'm so tired and this is on just about life in london also coming up why china's meeting with king john looks set to be

a warmer affair than the upcoming g. seven summit with his allies ahead in crisis how migrants passing through yemen in search of a better life face her with a cube use if they make us fall and cast. think the ships made nicaragua's president in a bid to end the violence to slack instead. the u.s. president says he may invite north korea's kim jong un ited states if he goes between the latest go well i'll check made the comments after meeting the japanese prime minister ahead of the summit next week she has been seeking assurances that japan's grievances against pyongyang will be raised as all official reports from washington d.c. the japanese prime minister will see donald trump but the upcoming g. seven summit in canada which he made a detour to washington to ensure he gets some private time with the u.s. president to discuss north korea is

a to settle down in the oval office the president admitted he didn't feel the need for a lot of preparation before his historic summit in singapore i don't think you have to prepare very much it's about attitude it's about willingness to get things done but i think i've been preparing for the summit for a long time prime minister he wants to make sure key japanese demands aren't lost in the moment that any deal isn't just good for the us but its allies something donald trump believes he can deliver i hope the upcoming meeting in singapore represents the beginning of a bright new future for north korea and indeed a bright new future for the world. he look there is asian of the korean relationally were a new era of russia very security and peace for all careers north and south and for people everywhere when donald trump travel to japan an event where he met the families of japanese citizens allegedly abducted by the north koreans in the

seventy's and eighty's the release is top of prime minister abby's agenda it wasn't we had a discussion with president trump good amount of discussion on the issue of earth action was he able to i have no idea of the discussion and i think the president to trample fully understands at least situation he said was that it was shot at hand donald trump believes the summit in singapore can make progress towards north korea abandoning its nuclear program but insists he could still walk away he's holding out the carrot of better international relations for pyongyang and the stick of many more sanctions if it all falls apart the japanese prime minister left the white house having played his part in a typical trump cliffhanger watching him the world to stay tuned to see what comes next alan fischer al-jazeera washington. meanwhile the united nations says human rights must be on the agenda at next week's king chunked summit it has to many

north koreans don't have adequate access to food the ten million people relying on humanitarian aid the un is a special envoy on human rights in north korea says presidents should be freed as a gesture of goodwill. not the opinion that that human rights dialogue will undermine the opening and the talks on the denuclearization at all i don't think that he said dilemma. on the contrary i think that. in korea side to show a willingness to open to to open up to the human rights mechanisms will give them the ability in their intentions to engage with different stakeholders in their intention to denuclearize grice. and it will play in their favor differently. trope could get a warmer reception at his meeting with kim jong un then he will from his g seven

allies in quebec on friday the ladies of france and canada have formed a united front ahead of what's expected to be a tense summit emmanuel macro and justice trudeau just in trader are both harsh critics of charles decision to impose tariffs on steel and iron minium and say they will not be intimidated by the us john hendren has more from quebec city. the gathering of world leaders was supposed to be is celebration but instead of highlighting the global economic expansion the talk at this year's g.'s evans summit is all about diverting the trade for. the great disruptor donald trump and his america first agenda levying tariffs of twenty five percent on steel and ten percent on aluminum coming from allies in canada mexico and europe the trouble ministration has managed to alienate systematically almost all of the allies who would be involved in this so canada mexico the european union are new additions it is going to be a tense meeting i would imagine canada's prime minister displayed diplomatic anger

and announced retaliatory sanctions somehow this is insulting to them the idea that the canadian steel that seven military military vehicles in the united states the canadian aluminum that makes here at your fighter jets is somehow now a threat the idea that we are somehow a national security threat to the united states is quite frankly insulting and unacceptable europe's leaders are also irate and threatening sanctions on a litany of iconic american products from levi's jeans to kentucky bourbon to harley davidson motorcycles. all made in the republican staged needs to keep his party in control of congress in this year's midterm elections. at a news conference on thursday french president emmanuel mccrone and signed a joint statement of multi-lateralism a show of unity before an expected confrontation with a unilateralist u.s. president sort of

a mass. in terms of trade i'd like to say to president trump that the measures taken are counterproductive even for his economy only going to be. for me it's a question of principle we can't wait to trade war between friends so we own. going in hamburg when we had the g. twenty we had to be nineteen plus one on the climate's us did not want to commit to the power sic remans when you're saying that mr trump doesn't really care perhaps that's the case but nobody lives forever our countries in the commitments we've taken will extend beyond our lives instead of celebrating their usual unity diplomats from seven of the world's largest economies are scrambling for common ground there was consensus under trump's predecessor barack obama on iran and climate change now there's a budding trade war that threatens to turn allies in the adversary but some analysts expect a last minute agreement to avert an escalating trade conflict it's mostly done for

posturing because trump sees this as part of his base is particular the swing voters in midwestern states that got him elected and he wants to show or pretend that he's doing something but again i don't think these tariffs will stick with it a family photo of world leaders that traditionally ends the meeting depicts an awkward alliance with the usual show of unity is largely up to the man from washington john hendren al-jazeera quebec city. meanwhile the united states a struck a deal with a chinese telecoms giant said t e to end massive sanctions that threatened at survival that t. he was punished for deals with iran north korea the settlement includes a one billion dollars penalty and accepting a whole new board of directors imposed by the united states for dubai loaded again in addition to the billion dollars they're paying those right up front we had them

put four hundred million dollars. so the total deal was a billion four hundred million that my. and he will be for food. groups. rooms or anything you. produce the. u.s. authorities are planning to transfer sixteen hundred people who have been detained by immigration and customs officials to federal prisons according to a report by the watches news agency or just as a filing for federal prisons to temporarily taken detainees well let's get more on this now from our correspondent diane estabrook who is in washington d.c. time what more details can you tell us hi sue well we did get confirmation from ice just a few minutes ago they sent us a statement and they said that this is a temporary measure that they're doing they're working with the bureau of prisons here in the united states because of the surge they say in illegal crossings they
