now you can come up with the right or wrong plastic waste of fries on al-jazeera how do you. think. this is al-jazeera. has i'm sick of this is the news hour live from dod coming up in the next sixty minutes and shake smiles and now apparently home visits donald trump and kim jong un accept mutual invitations to each other's countries. the media mega merger a t. and t. is given the green light to buy time warner what will this mean for consumers. what's in a name why macedonia will no longer be known as macedonia. and

the penalty shootout for the right to host the twenty twenty six world cup morocco takes on mexico and canada and the united states. the warming us north korea relationship has taken another unexpected turn kim jong un and donald trump have apparently accepted invitations to visit each other's countries that's according to a report from the north korean state news agency the long time adversaries met for the first time in singapore on tuesday there's no published timeline for the visit simply that they would happen at a quote convenient time diplomatic editor james bays joins us live from singapore and james light the agreement they signed in singapore these mutual visits are short on details. very short on detail and

president trump has also been speaking about this on air force one where he's had some brief comments to the pool of reporters a small group of reporters are allowed to travel on each trip on air force one and he simply says that yes i would like to invite chairman kim to the white house at some point as this proceeds and i think he's making the condition that it does proceed and that they live up to their commitments of denuclearization which were made in that declaration that joint statement that came out here in singapore so i don't think we're anywhere near the state the state visits actually taking place and being scheduled but certainly they've talked about the prospects of such visits and the lack of details aside is this another sign james of north korea and merging from decades is this international recluse.

yes absolutely some have described this meeting here in singapore as north korea's coming out party a country that has been so cut off from the world it's worth remembering that until this year kim had been in power for six years and he hadn't met a single foreign leader so this is a very big change the four leaders he's met this year the big summits to see that he's had with president moon of south korea and now the fact that he's been here in singapore unlike his father prepared to travel by plane and this historic meeting with the u.s. president what could be ahead certainly could there be visits between him and the u.s. president. trump going to pyongyang him going to the white house one that we haven't even thought about yet but it's coming up in a few months time the u.n. general assembly north korea normally represented by its foreign minister but could kill. come to new york i suppose that now is

a possibility let's discuss all of this more with. a former senior u.s. diplomat let me talk to you about what happened here in singapore we'll get to watch eventually came out of it but first the way it was done with this very unconventional president you know the way diplomacy is normally done for example the thirty eight minute with the g. eight minute meeting between the two leaders just with interpreters not even take his very unusual yes absolutely unusual but i think if you look at what happened here in singapore athletes from him somewhat someone all up with a single word disruption and here we talked in the past about the art of the deal and president now it's really about the disruption of diplomacy and for him maybe it's all about the diplomacy of this russian to the process indeed was very different from the old days when many things were already worked out before the final summit which is more ceremonial and they sign something this is really been the opposite this is the beginning of that long process but kudos to all that were

involved you know my hope is that things will indeed lead to something more tangible than just that initial document that they signed yesterday you look at the initial document what do you think of what see needs to malts not to need to the fact that some of the things that the president said were agreed to in the document and perhaps the most important stopping those military exercises in south korea involving u.s. forces in south korean forces terrific question but when you look at the document you know the key is that the use of the word about denuclearization there's so much i would say. acronyms abbreviations you know what is c.v. id complete what verifiable irreversible dismantlement of the new the north's nuclear programs so that they're really begin to focus on that i think is a positive thing but what is the definition of that the other thing that you know i what we call a u.s. military army brat i grew up part of my life in south korea that we're going to focus on something like recovering the bodies. people killed in action missing in

action that might still be in north korea for me that's a terrific next step what will certainly wasn't in that document in some ways it seemed like more of an aside at the president's remarks was this whole notion about the u.s. military presence in south korea motion aside though its seriousness is one of the most important factors i will assume they are very serious issue but to your question it wasn't really in those four key points of the document and i think we've already seen perhaps a revisiting of that with some pushback already from the korean version of the white house blue house you know i think some people were taken aback by that so i think what is also key as we talk about this process is that secretary of state pump ale is firmly in place as a key next step we saw in that document is second pompei is going to meet with the appropriate counterparts in north korea or with from north where i'm not exactly sure where and then it is going to move forward you have the former ambassador for the united states to the asian development bank so economic development is something you know very much about president trump was talking about north korea he said they have great beaches you see that where they have

a better exploding cannons and he went on about the opportunity of building condos and hotels how realistic is that model for north korea such an isolated nation since it's been seventy years ago you know i saw that maybe last maybe small but very clearly that is a vision that's a long time away but indeed i'm sure north korea's a beautiful place but it's also for me i would say an ugly place in terms of how north korea now treats its own citizens some of that really didn't come up so much as human rights i think very clearly that needs to be on the long term agenda we're talking about this ongoing process of what will be covered in a u.s. north korea dialogue so strictly to your point you know i'd say to investors out there i don't think now's the time to go into north korea you know president reagan which is how i began way back when i would always say trust but verify in dealing with the soviet union here i'd say don't trust and do verify so i think condos are a long long long ago. coming but it indeed that vision of

a peaceful and prosperous north korean my hope a united korea one day may well include condos down the line about sort of curtis chen with some investment advice thank you very much. james thanks for that james bays live for us their hands. at times promise to stop the joint military drills with long time ally south korea was a big concession and it's something the north has demanded for decades it is sure to rattle not just north south korea though but also japan patty cohen reports from washington. there was plenty of unprecedented things happening here but this was a pretty big one we will be stopping the war games which will save us a tremendous amount of money unless and until we see the the future negotiation is not going along like it should. but will be saving a tremendous amount of money plus i think it's very provocative those words have

never been uttered by a u.s. president who in the past have called the massive drills with south korea defensive and military exercises war games provocation that is what the north koreans call this many in the pentagon and south korea were shocked at the concession and experts say that might have a real world impact and there's unexpectedness and unpredictability that comes along with the time but an illustration that could make them turn tell turn of. operations where affectively south korea and japan decide to develop their own nuclear weapons because they feel like they can depend on the us nuclear umbrella any more the political reaction was largely split along the political divide even the most hawkish republicans holding back criticizing the president i don't think canceling a war a war game is going to matter over the arc of time the one thing that i would violently disagree with is removing our troops kim jong il is a butcher. and he's a butcher of his own people. and. trying to reason

with someone like that is like trying to hand feed a shark. doesn't mean you can't do it but you get to do it very very carefully democrats were less supportive i have to be honest with you this is the weakest statement i have ever seen come out of any engagement with north korea much less at the highest ranking of the president of the united states meeting with can joe what the united states has gained is vague and on verifiable at best what north korea has gained however just and lasting it's not clear if this will change anything over the long term for the relationship but it will change what these military exercises are called in the future provocative workings even the us president thinks so. al-jazeera washington. our u.s. federal judge has approved the merger of two the world's biggest media companies

the ruling allows communications giant eighteen t. to take over time warner in an eighty five billion dollars deal the judge said the government had failed to prove that the deal would harm competition or adversely affect consumers i'll tell you jackson is a financial analyst she joins us via skype now from dover in the u.s. state of delaware thanks very much for being with us so let's get straight to whether this is a good or bad thing for the customers of these two giants what is this deal going to mean for consumers. well ultimately it's going to mean for the consumers that they're going to have a little bit more opportunity but what the scary part is is that this is a president that's being sent which means others can do that and if we get to a point where we get a monopoly less competition means higher prices for consumers so that's something consumers really need to look out for when we're dealing with this type of merger now if you're a stockholder is probably a great thing eighteen c.

and time warner this is a big deal for them and it's very exciting and it's going to be a lot of people out of money but when you're a consumer at the end of day you have to make sure it doesn't cost you in the end and because we're may have less competition in the future because other conglomerates may want to do the same thing that may potentially mean higher prices and costs for cable in the future for consumers but the judge in this case obviously felt differently and part of his justification for it was actually backing eight hundred eighty and time warner's position which is that there are huge changes going on in this industry and that they had no choice but but but to do this in order to to protect their position what do you say to that you know eighty and he really did this because they're trying to stay in the competition with amazon netflix and the facebook and it really makes sense to do that but at the end of the day when we have the last competition that's out there

which most of these major media conglomerates can go out to la. can purchase the content providers what is that going to ultimately do for consumers now we may say it will lessen the cost because now there's more options out there but i do think ultimately later on down the line we have fewer competition that's out there and it potentially costs for consumers well they're also trying to do more customize ads for consumers as well which means it's going to be hitting on the pockets with the advertising i've been on a professional level on a business level this is an opportunity for eighteen c. is the best thing for eighteen c. and time warner i just need consumer. be very big a message on for example amazon it was a great deal when they decided to go in that market with groceries and then all of a sudden they're increasing their monthly membership fee nobody saw it coming but potentially that could happen hopefully it won't hopefully this will be

a great thing for not only eighteen c. time warner to stockholders but it will be an awesome thing for consumers but this can potentially be the precedence that it could go up cross global rounds within that so just be very cognisant so if this if this is going to open the floodgates then for more merges what are the types of mergers do you think we might see in this industry when we know that comcast is already trying to do some mergers out there any provider that's out there could purchase their supplier so it's not like they're purchasing their competition it's actually a vertical integration so they could purchase all of their suppliers and so right now we have eighty n.t. that's purchasing a lot of the news content our content providers now some people say it's not going to have an effect on content we'll see about that it may not cost more consumers dollars in the short run but it may cost consumers some information i don't know but we're see i'm hoping it's going to be

a great thing but i do know that this is going to set a precedence for global things to happen as well. tara jackson good to speak to you thanks very much for being with us thank you are the british government has conceded that parliament will have some say in the final deal to leave the european union it's being seen as a defeat for hardline brags it is who also want to leave the e.u. customs union but it doesn't resolve the lack of clarity over what regs it will actually look like honestly report. she spoke about all about courage it's tortuously slow and it's painful to watch so many times the british government has said it wants to do one thing over bricks it's only to be overturned and so again prime minister to resign may have not wanted parliament to have any say in what deal she negotiates with the european union but enough of her own m.p.'s threatened to rebel to force yet another climb down one minister even resigned so he could

speak more freely. i urged my parliamentary colleagues to follow my lead and vote to give audrey to situation this house of commons our constituents and our country the powers it needs to leave our children a legacy of which we can all be proud thank you so want to make of the government's continuing inability to make sense of brecht's it on behalf of people in places like sunderland in northeastern england who voted for it see it runs a small business selling machine parts to begin destry he wants out of the european union completely and he can't understand why the government seems incapable of doing it's pretty stern no i want to push to stand up for england stand for the table. push around and. they just don't let the new do it to the frightened lot as it is inc. all the see all the right things and

then when it comes to doing it. the work. and those businessmen who would back the conservative rebels like the boss of this factory are just as frustrated they rely on an economic relationship with the european union and yet the government can give them no assurances that that will carry on i'm a strong supporter of the u.k. in general however i think the or norm is the thing that we're frightened of more sed and i don't think the government's doing the best it could to give us the information and communication on the next steps in what's likely to happen on an exit from the entire economy of some zealand relies on the giants nisson on its feet a company is a failed brecht's it could easily lead to this factory relocating to consonant well europe yet neither nissen nor anyone else knows what shape bricks it will take and back in london all is discord perhaps the best indication of the divide in society over what's happening in parliament moments is on the front page of some of the

newspapers in the brics it supporting press the conservative rebels who want parliament to be given the final say on a votes or describes as betrayers and traces and yes in those newspapers which supports them they described as heroes it's hard to escape the conclusion that this continues to be a country politically speaking at war with itself largely al-jazeera in westminster . we've got plenty more ahead on this news hour italy sends two ships there transport to spain six hundred twenty nine migrants it's refusing to accept. after making new friends in singapore president trump has more hostile words for one of america's closest allies and. i'm a little worried the most all those things if it runs all the top of my brother but i was going to go over twenty twenty six world cup i'm staying lights back on.

presidents are only allowed to serve two terms because real a second and final term was meant to end in two thousand and sixteen but he perspire only election twice due to fighting in the country the opposition says these delays were a range by kabila to keep himself in office. macedonia has agreed to changes name to resolve a decades old dispute with greece to its new name is the republic of northern macedonia issue's been a stumbling block to the country's bid to join the european union and nato johnson happiness reports from athens. the agreement between prime ministers and alexis tsipras is the fruit of six months of negotiation that ends a twenty seven year standoff between the countries both men heralded the deal as a new era for the whole of south eastern europe renamed savannah macedonia the republic of northern macedonia reeses neighbor takes

a step closer to nato membership see for me up at the league summit. any agreement that we reached at all the night has had nothing to do with the ancient greek civilization of macedonia and i cannot claim any connection is to eat in the future . somebody asked well folks stuff i call on all citizens to seize the future twenty five years of being stuck is enough many generations have been lost macedonia must go forward and be equal with the west to compete with them and to have the same quality of life. the heart of the dispute as a question of identity slav macedonians have lain claim to ancient macedonian heritage since world war two the greeks see that as a vital component of their own sense of nationhood and cultural heritage so the agreement makes it clear that savannah macedonia is a sloven nation and also forgotten tribe of the ancient greeks the macedonian language will be described as slavic and passports will state nationality as

macedonian from savannah macedonia both governments say they've defended their red lines but the hard work now begins at convincing their peoples to accept the compromises greece will no longer hold a monopoly on the word macedonia and greece's northern neighbors cannot claim to be the descendants of alexander if all goes according to plan greece will recommend that the european union open accession talks with savella macedonia at a meeting of foreign ministers in two weeks time it will do the same at a nato summit next month the pressure will then be on the zionist government to approve the agreement in a referendum and toss constitutional amendments in parliament i. then ratify the agreement by the end of the year and savannah macedonia could theoretically hope to join the e.u. and nato next year jumpstart awful us al-jazeera athens. the french president emanuel has called italy cynical and irresponsible for refusing to allow

a ship carrying six hundred twenty nine refugees to dock the ship will now have to spain which is offered to take them in the refugees were rescued from the sea off libya at the weekend but they found themselves stranded when both italy and moulton refused to give their rescue boat permission to dock the journey to the spanish port of the lens will take three to four days and the ship will be accompanied by two italian coast guard boats john all reports from wrong for four days they've been aboard the m.s. aquarius relief at being rescued short lived now uncomfortable in the searing mediterranean heat and yet really for this very place for you. the rescue ship denied port access in italy overcrowded and with supplies running low has been directed to valencia in spain two italian naval vessels will take on four hundred of the six hundred twenty nine migrants and refugees that's what the italian government now sees as the extent of its cooperation with n.g.o.s rescues are seen

. for far right leader and new interior minister. it is an election promise made good italy has said it will no longer europe's refugee camp. i'm happy to be able to give the italian people the first piece of what they asked for. is italy's new strongman leading the charge with his anti establishment coalition partners the five star movement and basking in high approval ratings for it. what is astonishing in this despite being judges populists this poll this is also very popular in italy there isn't a tremendous amount of people in these days saying yes we have to close the borders yes we have to control the access of immigrants yes we have to send them back home but timing isn't coincidental there's an meeting at the end of june that will consider changing the rule that asylum must be claimed in the country of first

entry it's that rule that is put italy on the frontline of europe's migration crisis italy's treatment of those aboard the aquarius is notice to the rules that she also changing each state has the right to manage his boundaries. but these should not put into doubt the. human rights our deepest concern is that if the rescue will be weakened by different policies by different arrangements this risk this journey might become even more risky. many women and children will continue to make the crossing to lose their focus to southern europe at the hands of unscrupulous people smugglers they probably won't be told but it just got much harder and more dangerous journey home road.

now the world cup starts this week but before that fever will be meeting on wednesday to decide who will host the twenty twenty six event two bids are in contention the first is a joint bid from canada mexico and the united states both the u.s. and mexico are former torment hosts and meanwhile morocco is making its fifth attempt to be the host nation a simple majority from fee first two hundred eleven member so she is all that is needed to decide the host nation. travis waldron is a sports reporter for the huffington post he joins us live from washington thanks for being with us now the smart money and money is the operative word here is on this so called united beat from the three countries the u.s. canada and mexico. over

a much smaller country of morocco is that is that how you see this playing out as well well i think when it first launched that was definitely where the smart money was and if you listen to the north american officials from the u.s. canada and mexico. they've said in the last few days that back in february and march they were a little bit less confident but they're starting to feel more confident again now that they have the votes they'll need are there that they're very close to the votes they need i still think the allure of the money in the revenue from a potential world cup in the united states and the majority of it will still take place in the united states but also in mexico and canada will be too much for a lot of these countries they seem like they have most of south america in the caribbean on their side and the question will come down to what europe and asia do most likely but i would still at this point be pretty shocked if the united states mexico and canada joint bid isn't the winner tomorrow morning what about the

potential for the so-called trump factor in this that this is the kind of rumblings of. discontent from from african many african nations and muslim nations over. position on the muslims and what he said about. certain certain african countries as well could that play into their decision to favor morocco perhaps. it certainly could i think that was definitely a reason why we if you go back to two thousand and seventeen two thousand and sixteen the united states reached out to mexico and canada for a joint bid instead of competing with them in the rest of the world it definitely maybe gave them some cover to have mexico and canada involved in the bid if you ask the american officials they kind of have downplayed for the last six months to a year the effect might have at the same time fee for president johnny and tina

said that travel ban on for on refugees and immigrants from certain muslim countries could affect the the american bid. donald trump came out this week and said that no one would have any issues he of course won't be president when the two thousand and twenty six world cup happens so that's unclear but i think the the americans the people behind the north american bid really seem confident or at least are really making the argument that hey donald trump is not really involved in this and politics shouldn't be involved in this which we of course know they always are but they're definitely making the case that hey this is a bid about soccer in the united states canada and mexico not about the president of the united states what about the way this this vote is being decided this nation is being decided the way it's being voted because the criticism that was made last time around when two countries were. named qatar and russia it was

basically a small group of top executives about a dozen or so them just gathering in a room in switzerland and this time around it's all of the individual nations that are going to decide is that does that go some way to making it more transparent. we'll have to see it certainly seems on its face to be more transparent because fifo has said they're going to release the results of the vote they're going to show us how people voted it's led to people kind of tracking how the votes are going and where people are and where different nations and federations are the hope is that it will be more transparent at the same time you know fee for released results of how they evaluated the big and we don't know if those are having any effect on anyone you know it will have to see how it works this is the first time they've they've done it this way and when it comes to feed it's always kind of let's see what happens before we start calling anything

a successor or definitely before we start on anything transparent but yeah should be fascinating to see. how this does play out that thanks for being with us travis waldron joining us there from washington thank you now still ahead on al-jazeera abortion law is coming under scrutiny in argentina but the catholic church has long dominated the debate. how palestinian protesters are using kites to fight with israeli forces. and its four world cup hosts russia confident they can advance past the group stage for the first time in more. the weather sponsored by qatar. however the rain is gathering once again for

southern china including hong kong and there has been heavy but it's been just not falling recently it was coming back its season it should be doing its concentrates got think on the southeastern corner there's a line to take the high ground and to the border this looks as if you're in chengdu hari where you might expect right on the. but about the thirty degree mark is clearly a lot of a lot of action for the south of taiwan and over the philippines if it was a very heavy rain recently overdue song it could be repeated showery feel like we have a further south than that and there's a hint here well more than a hint as evidence of significant shazahn soloway see which could be in the repeated forecasts or sudden borneo and even catching parts of java and sun and sumatra with two to the north of that k.l. for example mostly it's a cloudy picture there because a lot of the more shows coming out in the monsoon trough which doesn't just affect john it also affects india and bangladesh it looks as though the concentration is

going to stay in the east this is a bangladesh total the last two days three hundred seventy three millimeters so already coast landslides of course and that's the concentration i'm afraid of the next couple days was some rain in the west and guess. the weather sponsored by cattle i always say. three big stories generate thousands of headlines collaboration with different angles from different perspectives. this is the only evidence that russia was responsible for this separate the spin from the facts that's why on god's face or the misinformation from the journalism the issues here go far beyond one data mining company and one election with the listening post on al-jazeera when the news breaks. on the mailman city and the story builds to be forced to leave the room just. when people need to be heard girls are being bought and given away in refugee camps al-jazeera has

teams on the ground to bring the award winning documentary and live on al-jazeera i got to commend you on hearing is good journalism on on and. again you're watching out here a reminder of our top stories this hour the leaders of north korea and the u.s. have accepted invitations to visit each other's countries that's according to the north korean state news agency kim jong un and donald trump met for the first time in singapore on tuesday signed an agreement aim to denuclearize in the korean

peninsula that was vague on specifics. u.s. federal judges approved the merger of two of the world's biggest media companies the ruling allows communications giant eighteen t. to take over time warner in an eighty five billion dollars deal judge said the government had failed to prove that the deal would harm competition. the british government has reached a compromise that would allow parliament to have some say in the final deal to leave the european union. to raise them a had argued that this would weaken her negotiating hand with the new. more than four thousand homeless people remain but more than four thousand people remain homeless in guatemala after last week's eruption of mt why go most of the victims are living in temporary shelters the government says it will provide housing but there may be a long wait by the ana sanchez reports from near the volcano. happy to be alive the survivors have got the worst full county corruption in decades

maybe hopeless but they're together and receiving care more than five hundred people in this school in this city of a screen one of twenty one shelters around monk where. you see a woman says she thanks god for having saved all her family but now she begins to think about their future without a home to go back to and yet it's said to me that i think it's the president's judy to help us bond we're not sure that will happen because we haven't seen much going on for example there hasn't been an official to check to say how many people here. her daughter say this is a member of got the malice disaster agency helped all her family get together in this shelter but though she feels they're on their own. before we feel bad because the government is not giving us any answers about our future. homes farms and now

the mills were destroyed here the government is promising thirty four million dollars to rebuild it will be ever going to see is that the government has a plan an apologist to provide four hundred new homes. the mayor of his screen glasses that they are working nonstop to accommodate more homeless people the mayor says this shelter will be ready in three days it will be two large tents each one will house three hundred people but it is unclear when and where the victims will have a home. officials say they have plans to provide. for housing for the victims but critics say the government is inefficient they don't trust the government to take care of the victims in the long run and they want the president to resign. after the tragic mudslide two years ago the government still hasn't given any homes to those who lost and it doesn't look as if they were getting one soon. for no private

donors and volunteers are helping to fill the gap in the survivors are looking to the government to secure their futures. with the an essential just is queen what the. argentina's lower house of congress will vote on whether to legalize abortions a yes focus send a strong signal in a region where the catholic church has long dominated the debate that i suppose reports from one of sars. it's been a green wave that has taken over argentina with one demand to decriminalize abortion. an artist who says she had an abortion in a country where you can spend up to four years in prison if found guilty of terminating a pregnancy. while women terminate pregnancies anyway it doesn't matter if it's legal or not our grandmothers did this great grandmothers up till the present day and so the problem is that if the state doesn't take responsibility we're going to

continue having young women who are dead you know i didn't tina it is testing made around half a million abortions are carried out every year hundreds of women many of them poor have died because of it. in two thousand and fourteen around fifty thousand women according to the health ministry had to be treated in a hospital because of botched abortions i wanted to be legal because i understand that the people who are most affected the most vulnerable are the poorest women they want with the least amount of resources because this is more than just about economic resources this is also about access to information on wednesday argentina's congress will vote for the first time whether to legalize abortion the catholic church and pope francis argentinian have stepped up efforts to influence the vote it seems. there is a belief of the power the church has to take votes away in every province to mobilize catholic schools in the streets to excommunicate them. and that's why

activists will support abortion rights have taken to the streets sent to ride president says he is in favor of the debate and he would not veto a measure even though he personally does not support abortions. this public debate has increased the social visibility of this problem this makes it easier for us in the health ministry and regional offices to speak seriously about sexual education in schools educate about contraception family planning so we can definitely prevent abortion which is not a solution for anyone for anything thousands of people who are for and against the abortion bill i would expect it to demonstrate on wednesday it is a vote that has divided the country and even though its outcome is expected to be close it has forced argentina to debate on an issue that has not been talked about for far too long. a decedent. donald trump wrapped up his charm

offensive with north korea by aiming another barber at america's neighbor and close ally canada at a news conference after the summit trump again attacked prime minister justin trudeau saying no one can take advantage of the u.s. on trade that's despite the white house trade advisor apologizing for his own attack on shuto alan fischer has more. as he was making friends with this enemy in singapore u.s. president donald trump also talked about making enemies of his friends the fallout from the g. seven summit in canada has followed him here but the president insists his goal is feodor trait the united states because of bad management because of presidents that didn't care about trade or didn't understand it or whatever reason for many years with china being obviously the most successful at it but the european union the second one hundred fifty one billion which was they were represented at the meeting and we're being taken advantage of on tray one economics expert says any trade

dispute creates problems for everyone the stem issues are usually opposition down and i said at the beginning trade is something that benefit of around. nine times and that it has been benefiting all around the well so far the president also talked about that viral photo the one where other g seven leaders seem to be confronting him over his position on key issues german chancellor angela merkel and french president on your mccrone have been highly critical of the president in recent days but he says they were simply waiting for a document and it was all very friendly and he confirmed he pulled the support for the final g seven document because of a news conference held by canadian prime minister justin trudeau i have a good relationship with justin trudeau i really did other than he had a news conference that he had because he assumed i was in or near a planet i wasn't watching here and that's going to cost

allowed in the palestinian protesters along the israel gaza border and now have a new weapon in their ongoing struggle with israel kites his him on. for some of their toys for the israeli army they're a dangerous weapon. every friday during anti israel you protests in gaza kites have soared high into the sky and given the israeli army a problem they hadn't encountered before an oil soaked rag is attached to a kite and once it's over the border they cut the string and it falls into israeli territory causing a fire no one's been hurt by the fires but some two thousand two hundred fifty acres of fields and nature reserves have been burnt causing two point five million

dollars in damage according to the israeli government they make the cuts in gaza from recycled waste but what was once an innocent hobby has become dangerous the kite's is such a problem that israeli politicians have called on israeli snipers to shoot the current flyers the kite make his hair say they've been targeted so they cover their faces when we interview them. the idea came during the second week of protests to use the kites against the israelis on the border these kites have trouble the israelis because we can reach the border without going there and we will continue to do so despite the fact the israelis say they will shoot us the cuts themselves follow a very simple but effective design and cost less than a dollar they fly them high with pictures of those who have died in the protests often friends and relatives. we use the pictures to show the world the sacrifices we have made and use them to make our demands to open the border to help the

injured and to break the siege. the kites have become a very potent symbol of the friday protests so much so that the israelis say that they use fighter jets to fire warning shots against a makeshift tent like this one where kites were being made. kite flying is popular across gaza with children using the streets as playgrounds so there's no shortage of skilled fliers. israel sent drones to intercept the kites but palestinians have had some success in bringing those drones down combine that with the damage done to israeli land and the protesters believe they can still fight back against the eleven year long israeli laid siege imraan khan al-jazeera central gaza let's go now here santa. thank you very much the final warm up games have been play the head of the world cup and d.v.r. system has featured heavily the video assistant referee technology is being used at the walk up for the first time and russia poland leading goalscorer robert of the

dusky intially had his second goal disallowed a but the review showed that the ball landed over the line that you referrals were also used in the second half to deny a goal for handball and to award a penalty in the four nil win over the spring. it was just two days until the world cup gets underway and hosts russia go into the term into as the lowest ranked of the thirty two teams they have in progress out of the group stage since at nineteen eighty six their best hope for the victory comes in the tournaments opening match against saudi arabia on thursday. but before this year's world cup gets underway the fisa congress will decide on wednesday who will host the twenty twenty six event the photo is between morocco and the combined bid from the united states canada mexico he welling's has more from moscow. thirty two nations ready for the russia world cup but with full of art there is going to be

some big action going on around faithful with the twenty twenty six now the last time feature made a decision on world cups it was arguably the most controversial decision in the history they awarded to world cup so tightly which they base it was a mistake and i went to russia here we are and then of course the qatar twenty twentieth's oh no this one has the potential to be controversial because you're dealing with the united states paid with the add on's of canada and mexico that is a favorite i'm sorry for needs that big so when it can't say so explicitly but it does for financial reasons that bade will make a lot of money for favre there's no doubt that's where the experts would sorry it's mostly cigar but also for political reasons because if the usa win that bodes well then the u.s. attorney general the f.b.i. will be a father a wife from for germany and france or the president definitely wants the usa to win

but morocco has come up with a strong posable bait i had a bit of problems with the evaluation where i scored two point seven out of five if i that was nearly low enough to knock them out of this two holes rice but as it gets to wednesday's votes were in opposition that i could win if i did it would cause some very interesting problems for for a few years but it would also be an incredible achievement for overcoming of course it would only be the second time that an african nation has hosted the world cup. yes i did twenty twenty six when mexico and canada must be considered favorites. of the joint us canada mexico bid wins the vote it will be the first time the tournaments will be hosted in three different countries as gabrielle is on the reports it's an ambitious plan but one with some drawbacks.

a football party just as good as the promotional video promise is that's what the united states mexico and canada are saying together they're bidding to jointly host the two thousand and twenty six world cup it would be the first time three countries simultaneously host world football's marquee attraction the bid has three key strengths experience mexico and the u.s. have both hosted world cups before and canada received high praise for its smooth organization while hosting the women's world cup three years ago and there's money u.s. canada mexico option promises a record eleven billion in profits more than double the other world cup and size two thousand and twenty six will be the first world cup to expand from thirty two to forty eight teams in the north american say a bigger tournaments calls for bigger hosts we want to focus on the game we're ready made and our cities are prepared to host today the u.s.

mexico canada bit does have a lot of a lot of the bases covered but in recent memory you know england's bid for instance had a lot of those same strengths and fifa gave the world cup to cutter which you know we all know is going to have to build a lot of stadiums. there are potential drawbacks the big calls for canada and mexico to host ten games each sixty matches would be played in the u.s. that an even distribution has left some feeling the tournaments would be too u.s. focused. the official name of the bid is united twenty twenty six perhaps ironic considering the potential host nations are anything but united right now u.s. president donald trump has disparaged mexicans on multiple occasions and continues to talk about building a border wall separating the two countries relations between the u.s. and canada are rocky. yes well both countries threatening a trade war over tariffs but it is signing ceremony last year soccer chiefs from

the three countries seemed unconcerned saying the beat is about sports and not politics but it still could prove for some awkward moments a tournament that promises to be the biggest and best ever north america hoping the world agrees that three countries are better than one keep eyes on dope new york. making its fifth a bid to host the world cup the fear that political factors could derail its prospects but football fever in the country has never been higher with the side in the finals for the first time in decades of them one on the reports from or about. all you need is a football and the place to play in the neighborhoods of robots in iraq and capital it can be in a backyard a patch of waste ground or the street everybody it seems is a football fan this year enthusiasm is greater than ever with morocco at the world

cup finals for the first time in twenty years and with an eye on the future welcomes but into stage a tournament in twenty twenty six. the shot lobbied me learn so look i think we'll win the bit we're ready to organize the world cup dungannon what a bundle of community i think we can organize the world cup but if is voting process makes me skeptical of the. marine corps facing not want to porn and but three to win the rights to host the world cup in two thousand and twenty six it's competing against a joint bit from the united states canada and mexico it needs to secure the votes of a majority of members of the sport's governing body. who want to be. there are a lot of geo strategic considerations in the voting for instance in morocco will not be winning all that it's only for african affairs because of some political issues we have with some southern african countries and with it there's also the thais and

the pressures of the americans on some arabic and islamic states. morocco is planning to invest sixteen billion dollars if it gets the go ahead to stage the world cup six new stadia would be built and six existing ones renovated to comply with standards and in a country with just one times over the longest trip between host cities will be a seventy five minutes flights this is the fifth time morocco is britain for the holstein rights to the football world cup they're calling it the dream of a nation they now hope members would share that dream. robot and that's it for me we'll have more later on and that is it for this news hour but just before we go just enough time to tell you there's lots more on our website c.n.n. dot com get the latest on all the stories we're following and more news in two minutes from now.
