this is zero. and this is the news hour live from london coming up the u.s. highest court orders the united arab emirates to allow qatari families separated by the gulf crisis to be reunited. the u.s. president in the middle of an escalating war of words with iran on twitter. kurdish security forces killed three gunmen who stormed a government building. and i'm far is small be here with all the sport to as a german football federation reject claims of grace as a move from as

a result claims which prompted the arsenal star to quit the national team. the u.s. highest court says issued an order in favor of qatar in a case of brought against the united arab emirates the international court of justice says the measures taken by the u.a.e. amount to racial discrimination and qatari family should be reunited the u.a.e. is one of four countries that imposed an air land and sea blockade against cuts are more than a year ago barker has more from the hague. qatar's legal battle with the united arab emirates has dealt a defining blow the international court of justice says the measures taken by the u.a.e. after the blockade of qatar amount to racial discrimination according to. the u.a.e. has failed to respect the obligation is the i.c. j.s ordered the u.a.e.

immediately to allow qatari families expelled from the country to be reunited students to finish their studies and those qatari affected access to courts and tribunals the order said the i.c.j. president is compulsory because of three of them. that due to sort of that is on provisional measure that is and that article four to one of these. in effect and there's a international legal obligation is for any part to her the provisional measure he's added that it's last june the u.a.e. saudi arabia bahrain and egypt sever diplomatic ties with the cutter and imposed a land sea and air blockade accusing catarrh of funding extremism and accusations it denies qatar says its citizens were either illegally expelled or denied access to the u.a.e. separating families and denying people access to health care education their

properties in assets of course the u.a.e. is the only one of the four countries to have imposed a blockade on cattle but it's the only one out of the four to be brought here before the international court of justice why because it's the only country out of the four that signed up to the international convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination but bahrain egypt and saudi arabia will be watching this case closely and drawing their own conclusions this is a statement that there is a likelihood of discrimination so one would think that the other states in the region would say that means something again likely that this is a violation in earlier hearings the u.a.e. denied any policy of expulsion saying it's measures were designed to have the least possible impact on ordinary citizens it said his argument was with the qatari government not the qatari people but the u.a.e. must comply with the court or face further legal action qatar could go to the u.n.

security council and demand an informant order this is one of a string of legal challenges mounted by qatar to try and end the blockade a ruling the country will welcome but whether it will help end the blockade now in its fourteenth month is less certain. nieve balkan al-jazeera the hague. and i mean the studio now is n.p.r. screening is a political risk analyst and an assistant professor at king's college in london thank you very much for coming here today firstly can you explain the significance of this decision five by the i.c.j. well i mean it's a moral victory for the most part for the countries they want they were trying to make the case for more than a year that the other blockading countries have taken a legal action against the that and the countries were trying to find a remedy to it and now finally we've got an official judgement by the high is the most important un court saying that this is actually legal action against us part

as part of the anti discrimination convention that at least what the u.a.e. have done isn't very much in violation of international law the question then is you know to what extend you know you've alluded this to this already to what extent is that an forcible war and the problem with the i.c.j. is that most of the rulings are not compulsory especially not when the countries have not made a declaration that they will agree to the ruling to be compulsory in the u.a.e. you have said from the beginning and they've never really made it out that they would ever abide by and i suggest a ruling and that is pretty much the the problem with it it's not really enforceable that's saying that you've called this a moral victory so does this mean that you give momentum for qatar to bring up other issues caused by the blockade on an international stage i mean this is a relatively minor issue for the countries this is a huge issue you know the way it is has affected the their own people in saudi arabia as well as in the u.a.e. this particular really only applies to the u.a.e. because the other blockading countries are not signatories to the i.c.j. but the in the u.a.e.

is roughly four thousand people who are being affected by country nationals and for them it's supposed to give them a bit of a relieve but this is all this is about it's not about whether the blockade is illegal or not and it's also not really it doesn't really give any precedence set any precedence for other countries to say putting pressure on the un in the rocketing countries to find a resolution to it plus we shouldn't forget that so. the u.a.e. have some somewhat been resistant to any sort of outside pressure in this particular question on the qatar crisis even someone like donald trump where the u.a.e. have a very intimate relationship with has made it clear and put pressure on i would be to say you know end this now because it's redundant and the u.a.e. have so far not really followed suit and you know why would an i.c.j. ruling do that now probably it won't because the u.a.e. have a very long history of basically disregarding international law disregarding international norms when it comes to what they're doing in yemen somalia and other parts around the middle east that particular one this cut across is about national interest for the u.a.e. and i don't think they're going to compromise

a lot and give us idea of the wider humanitarian issue cost by this blockade for qatar which can perhaps highlight some of this i mean the humanitarian aspect is one aspect of it which is obviously very important you know in the within the tribal very intimate very tightly knit tribal fabric of the region you know where people are always living i have always lived in a transnational environment you know where borders never really mattered having borders set up like this where families have intermarried across borders and they never really cared about nationality this is a huge impact on the psyche of golf is in general not just countries on all sides you know saudis a number of these have also suffered from this because they have never in history been confronted with such a very severe impact on the way the freedom to of movement the freedom to do business and their freedom to travel and various creek thank you so much for coming in today great to have your thoughts thank you pleasure. another news iran's foreign minister has added to the escalating war of words between the u.s.

and iranian leaders telling president donald trump to quote be cautious mohamed java very first responding to trump's earlier tweet in which he warned iran never to threaten the united states again or risk the consequences which quote few throughout history have ever suffered before using the same media responded to color us unimpressed continuing we've been around for millennia and seen fall of empires including our own well the tense exchanges coming with increased economic pressures and sanctions on iran following the us withdrawal from the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal last may the same bizarre we has more in this from terror on a late night tweet from the american commander in chief to the iranian president was a textbook example of donald trump's twitter diplomacy a warning in all caps the u.s. president is greed never threaten america again he said or else. now give me hussein is

a senior iranian national security official and says trump is really angry at himself. americans have been trying for two to three years now to convince other countries to confront iran instead of cooperating with iran but they haven't succeeded even their commercial partners like a european and china they clearly announce they won't go with the sanctions naturally russia won't cooperate nor will other countries in our opinion america is angry because it is isolated itself and it feels that it remains alone against iran . at the center of this latest escalation in the war of words is trump's vow to block the sale of iranian oil the country's biggest money maker earlier this month rouhani threatened to respond by disrupting international shipping lanes in the strait of hormuz an important part of the region's oil supply chain in or. is it wise that while we have these shores under our control we will not be able to

export oil and other countries will this is not smart. in a speech on sunday u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o took aim at iran's leaders the level of corruption wealth among or a leader shows that iran is run by something that resembles the mafia more than a government it has to be said that many iranians would be just as critical of their own government the wealth gap is getting bigger and complaints of corruption are common but for every anti-government protest by nature or by design there have been bigger pro-government route some people specifically mention general costs money a senior revolutionary guard commander who many here consider a national hero he's been part of iran's campaign against immortalized in this twenty seventeen animated film it depicts a military victory against u.s. naval forces with leading the charge. for many iranians this is the inevitable conclusion of american hostility towards their country and even peace makers here

agree the closer these two sides come to open conflict. the harder it will be to walk. the old a zero. she had joins me from washington d.c. she had given the exchange of words feed scene it's almost comical but this underpinned a very serious issue give us the view from washington or the old trouble actually was just asked he was all he was on the white house lawn all you concerned about provoking tensions with iran and he replied with three words none at all do you have any concerns i suppose was the question and his response was none of it or you as he says and then he just walked off so that's the most we got from donald trump today monday the late night tweet in the early hours of monday it is a very serious issue sarah saunders the white house press secretary you know what it is what is going on cheaters says oh well look all we want to do is protect the

safety of the american people and ensure that iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon so what is happening what we heard as a. report might compare the cia director spelling out this new policy or i don't know how new it is but a more intensified policy of bombarding iran with with us propaganda to try and help from and unrest in iran how successful that is going to be is is unclear given how little trust there might be to the concept the u.s. is acting on the people of iran's benefit we know john bolton donald trump's key national security advisor has advocated for bombing iran for years we've interviewed him so many times here on al-jazeera no matter what topic you're talking you're discussing with john bolton some i would always end up with bombing iran so you cannot you can see that he does the interim does have these hawks around him does this tweet mean an imminent escalation that we are getting to some sort of conflict that's where things get a bit more murky because the one thing we know is donald trump acts on whims and impulses these change all the time and sometimes these aren't necessarily part of

a joined up national security strategy these are just parts these are just simply symptoms of what donald trump is thinking about that particular moment. thank you she have well let's get more on this also from washington d.c. and he is a policy director at the national iranian american council thank you very much for being here today as she have a saying this is a very serious issue but what do you think is happening behind the scenes what's behind all this back and forth is trump looking for some kind of ratcheting up the pressure kind of like north korea style and then reconciliation well i'm not sure about the last part of that this administration is clearly ratcheting up the pressure trump left the iran nuclear deal and there's clearly a campaign that is being unveiled that is going to be paired with an escalation of sanctions and pressure on u.s. allies to leave the iranian market i think the question that you raise though is

what is the end point here and i'm not sure that this administration has won i think there are some in the administration who think that iran is on the brink of collapse and with some clever propaganda in a few speeches by mike pompei oh they are going to really put the iranian regime at the at the risk of actually toppling i think for those like john bolton this is actually about school in the provocations making it difficult for the iranians and daring iran to really respond so that this smokescreen that the u.s. is not interested in war or regime change can be lifted and the administration can move towards potential military action so i think that there are some competing interests here the talk about increasing support international support for the u.s. but given the fact that the u.s. left the nuclear deal against the likes of the u.k. and france how much international support do they really have about turning the screws on iran. the that is

a big part of the equation that is missing for the truck administration i think that donald trump is testing how much he can really bully not just u.s. adversaries but u.s. allies and we already see the europeans and the other parties to the nuclear deal especially the entire international community save a few of the countries in the middle east pushing back on this approach and the europeans have taken measures to try to ensure their companies continue to invest in iran in accordance with the nuclear deal because their concern is that if you ron leaves this deal then you have the nuclear threat back on the table so i think that trump is going to get a lot of pushback from them i think that he's not going to find a lot of support from other countries and so again it's a question of who is trump trying to appeal to do they think that they're going to convince the iranian american community who secretary pompei zero is reaching out to or the iranian people to line up behind this policy i don't see any takers and

so it's going to become a matter of how much is the u.s. going to invest in this and how much is the u.s. willing to lose its figure from pay and he very clearly gave support to protesters there essentially trying to weaken the government's position saying that they will the u.s. will back them in any way they can. will this have any effect on iran. i think this actually undercuts what this administration is trying to do i think that you know what pompei o raised there are legitimate grievances about the iranian government's corruption and violations of human rights and the economic situation which is due in part to the iranian government but also in part to u.s. sanctions the problem here is the messenger and i think when you have coming out and trying to sort of i guess be the good cop which is a relative term in this case and then you have trump coming out right afterwards and making it very clear no this this could end in

a military confrontation i think what that does is actually feeds those in iran who feel very comfortable in a confrontation with the united states remember you know much of the establishment in iran push back against what rouhani did with obama in negotiating that nuclear deal he really went out on a limb to do that and this you know exchange and dialogue is not necessarily something that the system is very comfortable with now what trump and pompei were doing is sort of a in attempting to put pressure on iran is speaking to what iranian leaders are best at which is trading barbs and insults with the united states the trouble is that one of the reasons that obama went to negotiate that nuclear deal was we were reaching sort of the end point of this game of chicken where. military confrontation was becoming very likely and it's hard to see how this administration finds an off ramp if they think they're going to repeat what happened in north korea i think the situation is so different that there are there are in for some

unforeseen consequences very interesting from the national iranian american council thank you for your thoughts. but still to come this news hour from london. syria's government condemns the evacuation of whites helmet's rescuers and their families as criminals. will have an easy seize far between hamas and israel hold long enough to allow vital aid and fuel supplies into the gaza strip. and claims a victory that's been a long time coming we'll have the details in sports. the kurdish security forces have killed three suspected eisel fighters who attacked the governor's building and a bell. thank. god and farted guards before entering the building and taking hostages later as

security forces around the building were targeted by a suicide bomber the government employee was killed during the classic clashes and two policemen or wounded bill which is the seat of the kurdish regional government has largely been spared i saw the tax and recent years. am on the attack began around seven am local time when gunmen burst into the governor a building injuring two security forces soldiers that were on duty that they then moved to the third floor and started to open fire from a third floor window all in security forces outside it was at that stage that the kurdish security forces cordoned off the area and mounted their attack they went into the building moving up to the third floor about three hours in four hours into the into the situation a suicide bomber blew himself up and then snipers killed one of the attackers and then injured another that person then later succumbed to these injuries in the

hospital now the attack was all over in about five hours but there are still plenty of questions to be asked who was responsible and how were they able to get into that building will clue dish politicians blaming eisel for this certainly bears the hallmarks of an eye slits hack multiple gunman a suicide bomb so. politicians are very definitely have claimed responsibility as of yet however questions are being asked of the kurdish authorities themselves how would the gunman able to get into one of the most secure buildings in the city of there bill. the syrian government has condemned israel's evacuation of white helmet rescue workers as a criminal smuggling operation the evacuation which also had the backing of the united nations u.s. and britain so more than four hundred members of the organization ferried overnight through the israeli occupied golan heights and into jordan the assad government has repeatedly accused the white helmets of being in front for rebel fighters. meanwhile the syrian government and its ally russia have stepped up their offensive

against controlled areas in the southwest of the country stephanie decker has war. we've been witnessing an intense air campaign throughout the day also heavy shelling on this area behind us which is essentially the only opposition held area left in southwestern syria is controlled by a group affiliated with ice so there is no negotiations on the table for them certainly at the moment we've seen small groups of people trying to seek shelter close to rocks close to the fence the fence that demarcates these really occupied golan heights with the syrian side the war is very close here and it really does look like the syrians together with the russians are really pushing this campaign forward now trying retake the entire area of southwest syria the israeli army here more and more alert certain that we've seen in the past couple of weeks more soldiers monitoring the area taking pictures earlier on monday morning rockets are

ins were heard here is that gives you an indication of just how close the fighting is. well israel has reportedly huge acted an offer by russia to keep iranian military forces at least one hundred kilometers away from the golan heights the offer was made by russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov joining a visit to jerusalem israel has been concerned about recent advances into the area by forces loyal to the syrian government ahead of the meeting israel's prime minister warns that he wouldn't accept an iranian military buildup and southern syria. and a food funeral has been held for a palestinian teenager who was shot dead by israeli soldiers in the occupied west bank the fifteen year old was shot in the chest at a refugee camp near bethlehem during an israeli raid israeli military says its troops fired after being attacked with rocks and grenades at least twenty five children have now been killed by israeli forces in the first half of this year.

israel says it will reopen its only goods crossing with the blockaded gaza strip on tuesday if the currency's far hold till then but israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu insists that the military is prepared for more intense strikes if violence flares up again meanwhile u.n. officials are warning that serious fuel shortages are affecting hospitals water and sanitation facilities told stratford has this report from gaza. mohamad a silex says his wife and children were preparing food for the evening meal when these radio and strikes hit their home it was july the thirtieth two thousand and fourteen during the third advanced recent war between israel. suddenly there was a massive explosion my wife screamed where is my son when we went upstairs there were eight bodies some without their heads. this. was mohamad rushed to pull the bodies of his sons and daughter from the rubble the

tank showing started. yet when the first ambulance arrived tank shells started targeting the area that's when my leg was hit the ten members of muhammad's family who died that day including eight children were among the one thousand five hundred palestinian civilians killed during that war six israeli civilians were killed. four years later palestinians have been protesting against israel's twelve year land air and sea blockade of gaza using kites and balloons carrying burning ranks across gaza's border fence israel says the fires have destroyed large areas of crops and private land. and some israeli politicians have called for another large scale military operation in gaza is to try to balloon protests don't stop the gaza border fences about half a kilometer in that direction now during the two thousand and fourteen war israeli tanks and mortars. most completely destroyed this neighborhood of. the israeli

military is still there you can still hear israeli military drones overhead now there are fears here that a new war would once again destroy this neighborhood and the lives of the people living here this is what was left of the neighborhood of four years ago most buildings were either damaged or completely destroyed. and this is now most of it has been rebuilt using some of the billions of dollars donated by the international community. why no job or his house still hasn't been completely rebuilt he and his family fled when fighters with hamas and other groups took up positions in the neighborhood to fight israeli soldiers. and i'm very worried about a future war all of the world is watching us and nobody cares when a muslim dies it doesn't count that anything consider him an animal but when

a jew dies it's the end of the world. some of these children were just babies in two thousand and fourteen may be too young to remember but now older. with a pair of dread. zero goes. to the philippines now where the president says war on drugs is far from over during his annual state of the nation address rodriguez a therapist said as administrations offensive will be asked relentless and chilling asked the day it began but outside congress protesters called for his resignation. dogon has this report from. his government promised president really good attorney does third state of the nation address will be his best it was meant to highlight his administration's achievement over the past two years but it ended up becoming one of the most chaotic national events in recent times the

president was an hour and a half late that's because of a political drama that played out in congress before his address factions within our allies in the house of representatives launched a leadership challenge former president gloria macapagal arroyo was a congresswoman now moved to unseat the house speaker this prevented the ratification of the peace agreement between the government and the more islam liberation front rebel group. plan to sign it into law on monday it was supposed to be an important part of the president's state of the nation address still in there to manage to deliver his speech the war against illegal drugs is far from over despite public outrage. in. and truly. if you will.

gun. room relationship with turnover best not mean. men will be. in the west philippines. as deter to spoke inside there were protests outside this is the biggest anti-government protests since president rhodri go dad who was sworn in two years ago and there is no shortage of anger and frustration here activists say his government is oprah saved and they want him to resign. these protests or see the state of division speech is an attempt by the government to could see a great violations against the for the people these women admit they do not understand some of the issues mentioned in the speech they say security is a concern but they are more worried about the rising cost of food and other basic

goods. i hope that the prices of goods will be lowered especially rice i hope that promise will happen because the poor are getting poorer. the state of the nation address is meant to be a showcase of the government's achievements but the political drama inside congress overshadowed the speech and what it revealed instead are the cracks in deterred his leadership. and al-jazeera manila. well much more to come on this program including. campaigning wraps up i want to pakistan's most unpredictable elections get. panic grows in china as it's revealed the country's second biggest pharmaceutical company takes vaccines to babies. and doesn't matter what type of rugby this new zealand always comes out on top we'll have the details in sports.

hello there it's still very hot for many of us across europe there's plenty of sunshine to be found but there's also some thunderstorms as well remember george t. of them now just working down towards the southeast these are pretty violent we're seeing some very heavy downpours some damaging hail and some pretty strong gusts of wind as well the whole thing is working its way eastwards though it's still with us on tuesday probably most risk parts of remaining so that system sticks around for tuesday and for wednesday as well but further west there's more dry weather to be found here there's also plenty of hot weather still as well burd thirty degrees in for london where at thirty is well there will be a few thunderstorms here as well in the western parts of europe just not as many of them as there will be in the southeast the other side of the mediterranean we're seeing a bit more humidity here that's working its way eastwards so fortunate as our maximum

temperature is thirty two degrees on tuesday i think we'll see less humidity as we head through the day on wednesday so the temperatures here will rise that little bit higher this time getting to around thirty four for the central belt of africa where there's more showers here is you'd expect some particularly heavy ones over parts of sudan at the moment of those a road rumbling their way towards the west some of them pretty heavy and it looks like nigeria is going to catch quite a few. capturing a moment in time snapshots of the lives of the stories. providing a glimpse into someone else's work out inspiring documentaries from impassioned filmmakers everybody's going in. circles. is going to be so this to. us on

al-jazeera. when people need to be heard. it's been. this long it's not. true and the story needs to be told we do stories that. i testify in the court of law to make sure that the bad guys behind al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring new documentaries and live news on and on the.

get her a minder for top stories and. the court has ordered the u.a.e. to reunite qatari families separated by a blockade imposed on the gulf country last year. iran's foreign minister warns the us president donald trump to be cautious after he threatened iran with severe consequences on twitter. and after a five hour standoff kurdish security forces have killed three suspected iso fighters who stormed the governor's building in arabic. let's return now to our top story and that's the ongoing crisis in the gulf the emera of qatar is in london where he's seeking to build international support in the face of an air land and sea blockade. was for the leader and his first stop at a top university in london. qatar's leader began his u.k. visit at a robotics lab at london's imperial college set i mean been hammered than eve dan had a meeting with business leaders in the city it's all part of

a push by qatar to rally international support the countries under a land sea and air blockade imposed by saudi arabia u.a.e. and egypt the operation relationship between us is quite extensive across a whole variety of fields from. its curity defense investments and today of course focusing on health and health issues where we work together so it's a good visit and we encourage all our friends in the gulf to resolve their differences and we hope that can be done since the start of the g.c.c. crisis qatar has not only ramped up its missile capabilities but has also expanded its security and political operation with key allies such as the us france and the u.k. and this is quite crucial for qatar at a time when it continues to face a blockade imposed on it by its neighbors the blockading countries have dismissed international mediation they say qatar must first stop funding extremism

close a turkish military base downgrade its ties with iran and shut down the al-jazeera news network qatar has strongly denied the accusations and called the demands a violation of its sovereignty despite the crisis it has signed major arms deals including the purchase of twenty four typhoon combat aircraft from the u.k. as part of the deal pilots from the two countries will protect the skies above qatar when the arab nation hosts the twenty twenty two football world cup since the crisis that qatar instead of being cut off from the rest of the world actually engage the world in. more than they have done before so why they're being cut off regionally they've actually expanded their reach into the west particular and the united states they've built partnerships that are more resilient in many ways than the partnership the saudi arabian the u.a.e.

you build in europe and in the united states the u.s. has called on its allies in the region to set aside their differences washington fears a prolonged crisis could lead to more instability possible but i'll just london that's an american leaders are meeting in mexico in the hopes of reestablishing trade and economic ties after weeks and elections in colombia mexico and chile they're meeting at the thirteenth annual pacific alliance summit in puerto vallarta . homan is there any now joins us live so john what are they hoping to achieve at this meeting. but they've been having these meetings now since two thousand and eleven these poor countries but there's also going to be more than fifty observer countries coming to watch this time around and hopefully participate so this is something that has been getting traction over time but just been speaking to a couple of analysts they say really this is a moment when these poor countries chile colombia mexico and peru can really in

a way grab the reins and grab the center of trade in the hemisphere at the moment since the united states mitt's close neighbor just to the north of us here is currently under a much more protectionist ministration under president trump i just spoke to the head of the mets contrary and he said that they they have they will be using this to try and diversify their trade alliances in the world that's why it's been the aim really of this summit but with the trump of ministration in the united states maybe there's a little bit more energy a slightly more buzz this time around. this meeting is held in mexico and mexico seems to be heat in these talks yet mexico's president elect hasn't turned up at this meeting could explain. events going to be very interesting because as i mentioned i was speaking to the mexican head of the treasury and he was talking about free trade agreements the record number of free trade agreements

throughout the world but the new president of mexico the president elect under his mantra lopez obrador has a very different idea he says that the best foreign policy for mexico is a good domestic policy to make mexico strong so he hasn't got the same sort of ideas that free trade ideas of the past two of ministrations at least in the country he's also he seems to be a lot more interested in the relationship with the united states and canada and the nafta free trade agreement that binds the three countries to give a president trump. for it to be renegotiated that's happening right now and on sunday the president elect touch me sent a letter that you read aloud the foreign minister to president praising him and speaking about the similarities now about eighty percent of mexico's exports do go to the united states so that's clearly his first priority here maybe more than the relationship even with his latin american counterparts right now on home and live for us and part of our lives i thank you. now electricity unions have been is well

are calling and definite strike and protests that low wages and poor working conditions they're joining the nation's nurses have been staging industrial action for the past four weeks attending only emergency cases nurses are calling for more supplies for the hospitals and dignified salary which is to pilates in the constitution but as well is suffering from a massive economic crisis including hyperinflation which is over fifteen thousand percent. paul dobson is a journalist based in the city of many that he believes these protests are not about ousting the government of president nicolas maduro the need to say it is which would generally be supporting the government. and their fact that they are now taking to the streets is a massive wake up or nothing to the government and we can see this in the case of the nurses the nurses have been on strike for nearly four weeks now and two days ago the government announced they were considerable investment plan for the public

health care system so i think the fact that their general support base is now starting to militarize a little bit and take to the streets in terms of strikes would definitely draw that the government's attention to some of the problems of maintenance investment corruption but also wages and conditions of these workers and it's very important also to point out that these are not necessarily anti-government strikes maybe striking unions and britain might be more used to carrying out these are strikers who are generally on the same page of the government but who are you asking the government made to do things better take stern and measures and be more efficient in some of their policies rather than a drastic change in policy from from the political line of the government pardi. brazil's right wing politician jr a balsa narrow has had this kind this candidacy confirmed for presidential elections in october and here receive the nod that his party's convention on sunday also leading opinion polls those numbers exclude the jail but still popular silva

. this week marks forty years since the birth of the world's first i.v.'s baby luis brown in vitro fertilization was a medical breakthrough that's led to the birth of more than six million babies

around the globe catherine stansell reports. i know christina and martina mccarthy have their hands full. their children zoe and santina are two energetic happy and healthy toddlers but they and their husbands would never have been able to experience the joys of parenthood if it weren't for the development of in vitro fertilisation all i've put this is to cause a very. but yeah it was my only my only chance of conceiving if it wasn't for the treatment being if i had it but he wouldn't be here i think it's amazing that through this miracle of medical intervention we were able to have a beautiful healthy daughter it all began with louise brown she was conceived in a british laboratory in november one thousand nine hundred seventy seven after robert edwards patrick steptoe and jean purdy spent nearly a decade trying to fertilize

a human egg outside the body and was just shy of her fortieth birthday louise a celebrated at london science museum she's the focus of an i.d.f. exhibit which features the very desiccate or where her embryo was developed it's just amazing how many children have been born through the process. jaime lights in families this created in hope and joy is just. a mind prices be the first one i.v.'s may be commonplace now but there was a lot of controversy when we as brown was born many religious leaders denounced the use of any kind of medical intervention and other critics said i.v.'s could pave the way for so-called franken babies louisa's family received many letters of support but they also received hate mail including letters splattered with fake blood not only has the perception of i.v.'s changed so has the availability it grew from one small clinic in the u.k. to a multi-billion dollar global industry i gave has changed the landscape of humor production

eight is talking about. six million b. with i believe that it is much more because i.v. of technology has to reach the most areas in the whole world and it's probably unlikely for us to get feedback of how many babies were born in these remote areas so it's an underestimate it's important to appreciate that currently predicted that by the end of the century there will have been four hundred million babies resulted from i.v. for white for christina and martina that pioneering technology gave them families they would otherwise never have had catherine stansell al-jazeera london ok let's get a round up of the sports with far. thank you so much the german football association have rejected message claims of racism claims which prompted the arsenal star to quit the national team they did however can see they could have done more to protect him from that came reports from berlin. his international career is over

now club duty's with arsenal have taken mesut ozil to the far east but in his absence the fallout from his retirement is reverberating around germany the newspapers have seized on his statement in which he pointed the finger at the german football association specifically and its president hein hardaker linda accusing him of having a racially discriminative background earth still has been in the spotlight for his off the field actions since this moment posing with the turkish president both alone and with other german players who have turkish roots red chip type area one is a divisive figure in germany as are the policies of his government but in the turkish community in berlin even among those who oppose aerotow on many support earth will but i think. begin fighting racism begins with showing people where the limits are we've had enough someone needs to say that to the german football federation that

all players with nine german backgrounds are welcome and we will make sure that you feel well in germany if you have a second or third home that's ok but you're here and you're a part of our society some in the football world here remember what happened after france won the world cup in one thousand nine hundred eight how that multicultural team acted as a catalyst for the then german hierarchy to change its thinking first of all they try more integration they've tried to build of more schools and as you see it worked in whether you were twenty one in four thousand and nine and whether with the team in two thousand and fourteen in brazil. you know that if there are success nobody discusses where they come from. and yet after this summer's french victory in russia some did highlight the racial background of that team with one comedian describing the victory as africa winning the world cup something french officials angrily dismissed saying there is no hyphen in people's

nationality they are french and only french. here in berlin message does have one very powerful ally angle americal says she values him as a great footballer who did a lot for the national team and in his career he was the national jersey ninety two times scoring twenty three goals and helping his team to win the world cup but now he says the levels of racism and disrespect he's received mean he will never wear this again dominic kane al-jazeera berlin well earlier i spoke to paddy hague's ajor analyst from one football based in berlin and i asked him if there was a chance arizona could ever return to the national team i actually think this is probably the end from as it was on the german national team there's been so much water go under the bridge now since before the world cup and so much has happened after some much more of words if you will that i really don't see this relationship

itself at all unfortunately because it does mean of course that germany lose one of the most talented players ever probably the most talented player of this generation and i don't mean the end of his career with the german national team in the relatively early age of twenty nine a couple of years ago before the euros are telling him some sort of you know of a race that sort of as you know he's born here in germany but has his roots elsewhere he was the target of the eye of the of the right wing party here in germany and and the d.f.t. came out very very strongly in defense of paula tang so it's quite interesting that they were to do so at that point i think who has mentioned that as well and he does mention the difference between what he feels the way that they they did protect at that point but did not protect him in this case. american swimmer ryan lochte he has been suspended for fourteen months for a doping violation the u.s. anti-doping agency slapped the thirty three year old with
