secretary general for ten years a nobel peace know. kofi annan was born in ghana joining the un in one thousand nine hundred sixty two rising through the ranks to be the organizations head of peacekeeping at the time of genocide in rwanda eight hundred thousand people were killed he later said it was one of his greatest regrets that he was not able to do more to hold the bloodshed i haave on and i go beyond sullenly souad when he became the first u.n. staffer to take over the top job he prepared the un for a new millennium. his ten year coincided with the arrival of a new president in the white house is. after nine eleven the u.s. invaded afghanistan. and then dividing the un security council. iraq. he had tried to avoid war with tireless diplomacy and by keeping

a team of weapons inspectors in the country until the last moment later the un went back into baghdad after the invasion but its compound was then bombed with twenty two staff killed iraq was also the biggest controversy of his decade in the un job the oil for food program set up to help iraqis lead to massive corruption with the secretary general's own son kojo implicated by jeff. when he stepped down at the u.n. he addressed these remarks to his successor banki moon. you have to take over the most impossible job on and of could. while that may be true i would. i would add this is also the best possible job when. he did not choose to go into quote retirement he was the

u.n. and arab league envoy to syria and twenty twelve coming up with a plan that would have ended the war six years ago. but it was ignored by the parties that continue to point. more recently he went to myanmar coming up with proposals that form the basis of the international community's approach to the rohingya crisis the result once again of his own personal style of diplomacy strong words but softly spoken even if you get into the shouting matches sometimes they have bigger megaphones than you have and it doesn't necessarily get you where you want to go there are times when you have to raise your voice and there are times when that i had to but generally i can get results without shouting. thousands of stranded people are waiting to be rescued in the southern indian state of carola as heavy rain continues to batter the region more than one hundred ninety

people have died in just over a week almost all the state's districts are on alert the flooding potentially affecting most of its thirty five million people the bomb is by the saudi led coalition their attack on a school bus in yemen was supplied by the u.s. that's according to u.s. media reports fifty one people were killed in the attack inside the province earlier this month forty of them children. and a state funeral has been held for some of the victims of the bridge collapse disaster in the italian city of genoa more than forty people are believed to have died when the morandi bridge came down on tuesday well those are the headlines stay with us for al-jazeera world that's up next.

a good deal here in southern morocco on the atlantic coast near the foot of the atlas mountains population around seven hundred thousand. industries tourism agriculture and fishing and major ports for exporting goods to europe and for imports into africa. camels no longer

distribute produce the only effective network in this part of the world is the roads to places like dakar the capital of senegal. that is. a. roads and trucks hundreds if not thousands of them. drivers have to deal with the mechanics of huge engines and maneuver great monsters wheeling eighteen tons mt over fourteen foot who need to. carry her through her in this film

to try to drive very under three thousand kilometer journey from a good dealer to dakar. to beat i now needed help to make last minute repairs to his vehicle to get it's ready for the outward trip which might take as longest. two weeks. driving schedule in the time. our minds. and doctors could be sets off in the dark and heads off towards the coast road that will take him first to the southwestern border of morocco. but to have this could be it is not. easy getting there struck by impact in public and the two go follow one another for the full three thousand kilometers to dakar

for them all home are new and in the on off part is not a lost. art it's a policy issue and an ending she doesn't need then. than if the unless the women of afghanistan say for it. it will look. like telling which. of those that she. and women are going to. look for that she. had of elaine did she. get isn't it. a cultural veiny. i'll tell you didn't. she do was she. justice.

ibrahim a hopped of k.b. to make their first stop before dawn to grab some fresh food from oslo for a look at a lot of cloth over the years. and even me you. see. me in the form of another. person. who has gets tourists. there will be times in the next few days when they will miss not only their families thoughts also the simple comforts of even this modest roadside cafe. in the fifty's. if you know if you are a kid you live with your luck. of

course it's all. but. when it but he may not have that could be your set off they can't always tell their families how long they'll be away such is the unpredictability of the journey ahead . for them to save. she she. even made a deal with the board. this is not like truck driving across the united states for long distances are common. but where hours are controlled by federal law.

it's not like driving in europe with its titrate condition and vehicle monitoring systems measuring driver time at the wheel. this is driving it so hard i think. there are no motorway service stations no twenty four hour s.o.s. vehicle recovery no spare parts at the end of the mobile phone. to call them. there should be a multiple it's always pistol to be. silly if i was in

a hostile order that's. called on to make a decision to depart it's all that i know we. tell and then know we all get one. driving hours don't seem to be regulated and there are no rest areas. painted on this trip is mineral material but whatever they're carrying they can't really leave the vehicle for security reasons. they also have to refuel when they pass a service station as there be huge distances to head with nothing but deserts hour after hour. i did could be as makes himself comfortable for the night as best he can inside the cab.

ibrahim's has discovered that it's higher on one of his trigger wheels to speak up a slow puncture before he crosses the desert he has to get it fixed when he comes across a roadside becoming. even

if their plan not be enough to get. within the city in the world it's cool idea and . that's. really good if that's how. we got the job as old as the first negatives in this one that it's. we haven't missed a hit if you mean the end of the make up of the wheel but i. don't feel it up to. see who's live fish want to look at the question but it's

a look at the fair in the. other she always name appears worship or so about them it's just not. sure. what they look to shirk the. name occasionally. within the us she met them xian i. don't but over some do man up but he will. mark oh i learned. he would be a hit me this if it's in the scenes that i have a feeling this the near where some of the d.j. i didn't. play in sydney good then maybe here and i'm amazed i'm sure you'll. i think it's a set up i've never actually had that. was even though i don't own way yet.

and horrendous respond. when i was. not but i'm not i would not know it's lights out if you know it wasn't you know going to miss the name of the end. up at the thought of going to a show. and then the she had another good sort of. middle of. the woody deal. or that as a child has. had. its own stuff and took them out of. the

show. about what about and there could be a. good deal of even if you missed it. was all about giving up but i had. a loss of. life and you know. what i said. i did represents. the idea for the idea that it up. that's what will go up through the tabloids an awful hostile subtle hostile shout.

out was obvious but yet he told all the all. the parts of a number of what part of the god. know what if that's. true i disagree with the pick up. bits are sure to leave the ship as a curio because most of that. we just went into. there's a lazy hole good luck i'm out of the devil's like a little bit of. the whole sr for feel of it all. i did was to say. that. in the us a driver can be at the wheel for up to eleven hours out to fourteen in europe

the rules are tighter the daily maximum is normally nine hours but breaks have to be taken every four and a half hour and the rest should be outwards. but this is the moroccan. as he told his friend in the coffee there is no longer. a. it's in the past. the nest you. know i asked. as soon as he did not. much good as you can edit the. one i got you know. that is within nasa wasn't a force of good quality to do when i was. in bed and not in another the snow so what about swells in a façade lot of those the ugliest looks the. group build up in the commission.

of g.d. one of the little mob but i have it out of luck but i don't see. the sense of. sadness yes and asked what i've got i'm going to say. i'm going to get up on the spot i'll see if it all me and. it's howard and i'll. see you know what's. it's al. i'm good on i'll give a child. a look a lot when we get cheap and i was looking for best first decent but i mean didn't you know i needed to get it but she starts you want to see what's available at the home office with you and i was the. one that was being pursued obviously. don't believe that. there's been

a general i think there can be you'll get a bishop. to be off. scratch get me. to compete and back him are now driving over an area known as questor and some time around. it has been a disputed territory. between iraq old and what's called the polis are your friends since one nine hundred seventy five. the un has maintained a peacekeeping mission in western sahara a territory about the size of new zealand for twenty seven years. u.n. efforts have repeatedly failed to broker a settlement over the disputed territory which the polisario says the longs to the finale people. morocco controls ninety percent of the territories including its three main town boats and insists it's an integral part to detain them while

polisario demands a referendum on self-determination through. the two drivers have now reached the southwestern corner of the disputed territory near a small town called got outs where there is a un buffer zone but which is effectively the border crossing into mauritania. over one hundred eighty thousand travelers pass through here every year tourists visiting west africa and africans heading to morocco and europe. as a hotspot for smuggling and illegal immigration the wait here can be ten feet they can't inspect over thirty thousand trucks and cars here every year. for a grapheme of this could be it it's an unwelcome bottleneck and they have no idea how long the visa procedure vehicle inspection and people work will take hours

days or even longer. the drivers are also concerned for their safety as there has been violence here in recent years. and i. have no alternative but to wait in a makeshift bedroom where there's no food and drink other than what they've brought with them and that is approaching. zero. she must. know as if you're. in the know what services are looking and i'm the one who made it work. and good. luck to. all of the muck up.

over somewhat of an upturn soon to get children to see any seymour hoffman city governorship. of a whole lot of movie lovable you know that's kind of us none of. the homes of a mill woman the mother of those never did one of their knowledge ten it was never the hampshire that wanted it done. most remarkable of what i'm going to give them. a lot more. and oh really really hard to do this for us in the emotions of those. who are struggling with. what it was new york made over the years and marked the.

shift. in the mood. of the building as of the city and the source to. purchase a vision of this it. should was and was i'm sure said in moscow book or less of the circles it is that was in the works of the whole over the last ten years most of. the kids oh sure ok and a lot of them saw it all but was their traditional. or partner. who will need to do is tell you look it up that. you just believe this is you could deliver the goods but the other way is the other woman she did it this is the next in the instruction you walk away from what you did

in london with more than one on to the inserts so all the issues need usual see who you know much about usual who are losing were that age she didn't understand the loony views it was me. who she was mention wasn't too much of the water that our mother the only bit of the other shut up our council of nicaea thing will not be another family dish another on the spot nobody got more understanding or going on the ninety nine than don't want to smear slaughter will show the tissue of more money and talk to her mother and me than we do in that little mom. on. the apartment if you want to posit yet on. our method of course under. the current

a law on the markets and then that there are. another op ed in the command of us all of them were enough. of. each of us. ok but enough of that opinion or i mean you can tell by. it's not looking good for the two drivers who have no idea when or if do ever get over the border into mauritania.

whether they're managed to cross the river into senegal. or into brahim skis whether he'll quit truck driving all together. in another one of the four going to the borders of us or the middle. of the can always fish it. looks ugly it sounds ugly and scares people from america's high streets to mexico's on the world record holder to the side and who controls the other side people in power follows the smuggling route and test the ease of acquiring untraceable weapons on american soil the weapon that was designed for war and it took you about five minutes to buy it moves you to america's guns of arming mexico's cartels on al

going to be i would have told this i won't give it out a lot of adult goodson to see this look at the video and almost. we're never going to get them out of us and i didn't. hear one of them already back none of them at all to make a big what i did a prosecutor could get about it is that i could get a scholarship out. of a case my stuff with all of us in five years if you had to just not take place yes well we'll see some of this money in old sheets of my flock a lot of interest quite a good bit above also what a cynic of history of fifty seventy or at the mouth of you said a lot of the. presence of a good. exam no madam molly your kids am no matter how nice or how cocktail mom i mean i don't. know in

a modern family's modern. what the gods are what seeds of always it almost but i got the ones i got the guts and the. other was. this i wasn't aware you an idea. i never think of you and i'll consider for the cover of. it can also have learned that. i think of it all. but i say if i was of the guy was and i were about to do the man i thought he would conduct shot. but it's all a model for this year the. next most of them are up but what about not so you leave one of the spots. in one of the best and all of it with these images and also tell you those must be a. new

much of it is the capital of her. and with a population of around six hundred and sixty thousand one of the largest cities in the sorrow. it has a deep water points to international airports history museums and beaches. atop this could be it in the past have now been on the route for heaven teams and are not in the tourist. where you. i. don't know how.

they're going to. the rest of the journey through mauritania is uneventful as the two drivers meet their way to two hundred kilometers talk. on the border with senegal. population around fifty thousand and is the third largest city in mauritania but has no bridge across the synagogue river. the two forty six ton trucks can only cross on the tiny ferry one at a time. ibrahim and i did have been up since the early hour worth and the stresses of the journey are starting to take their toll especially during ramadan most from sub-saharan africa i have a photo of. mother mina as she really.

does south africa. there was a shot among the other woman i had. to get to know what she was going to forget in manuals but it's cloudy and difference there is a lot of good and. the children will mature feel good meal get some power some. just tell us the bottle should do it for a shows that should advocate is the only. sin the. look is. all a hold over the whole with eleven. but crossing the border into senegal is not as easy as the two drivers had hoped to get seriously did need at customs and immigration waiting for peepers getting information. and so should they be. talking to their boss back in academia. and waiting for the process for it. and they've missed their colleagues.

are no longer. on the council it's a. question of well get out of the you know it's no. good so. that's a. sort of like. well for which most of the other bit off. on another board if you will swell to. say actually. hold up i can look it up but also i don't want to be of the same. i'll place that kind of.

stuff. well she wants to go to the trouble of course because quite a lot of the food. that's. and the last one a lot of little salt. is an hour long. either one of them. against no one it is an odd lot. that there is a gentleman and there's an. ongoing. yet i was what i was that i shut the door not come to dinner and now i'm stuck can't hear. what oh. i'm not all good sittin live on ha that's also is the answer that nigga so i know. a lot about the climb up the local cop of the it.

does it then. others got the of to it that got a got i totally get at it. and then up costs you a clue to study a what sort of bottle without seeing the bottle and i thought that wasn't the case didn't it we're going to france and exactly and. then i'll say what i did when a woman got a young. one subpoena him and how this could be it got through customs it was around a hundred kilometers from rosso to the city good nice port of sound leave on that sound to coast. from there it's another three hundred and thirty kilometers south to the capital of the car their final destination. sandy leaves was the first french that cement in the region in the seventeenth century. it's at the mouth of the snake oliver and has a population d.c.

of around one hundred and eighty thousand. by the time the two drivers arrived in santa rita it was already dark but they pressed on towards the capital. saying i'll have the love of the summer luck than others you know i love mother let's say and i want to take control of the others i have just as a bit of the zone but it. i want to have the. audience ya know absolute of a world of. peace and the more you get a little that's annoying. forces you have over them so to only. does what it does a live look it's getting better but you don't get a whole have

a. house how to come up with all. those and the and the complex. and the careful any deadly thing is that it. will lead. the can in the case or worse. idiot. we're going to leave here that make it work is that it gets me alive that they're not going to be a lot of it in me that. i might. not look at i think out of you said yes no one. gave me an incentive we'll look at one of the. it's an end survey and you know why they go. i

do love but i thought if that sort of that's a lot. of why the models on the. double i'm doing i do you know other than the give me a little you know who are the duck out of shot last. couple of clay one. hour was out to appeal but what's in kill more that up there but the adult stuff alone but of those all just shown us are all. of the. thanks. finally the car three thousand kilometers and over two weeks on the road but that's not it they're supposed to unload their trucks though it's not unusual for there to be a two lane. in fact the drivers don't understand onto a gurney the next morning and then have to get ready to collect a new dog a fresh produce to transport back to morocco.

the shipping agent seems to have the range for him try him and have. to pick up a consignment of mangoes but the fruit isn't yet ready for collection. this is really very circular you offered up a mock up on officers. of one of the innocent get away with certain words a good many there's a risk reward system goodness of the money. that's where i guess it's not so it's all mob in what was scandalous you had the moon get them all got him molly macuser see maybe i'm disappointed in the way that she is now this is a plot of money as it is one finds in the first one come on tell one story and all . see a fixed manulife you want the muscle stocks you know launched by experts. silver

had enough. lotion. the next day the two drivers make their way to the warehouse where the mangoes are being packed and both get twenty two known. for fresh produce like mangoes the trucks need to be refrigerated for the journey across the desert back to morocco. but the bread he has discovered there is a problem with the refrigeration on his truck it keeps cutting out and he can't figure out why. while he checks again i did it could be because the whole it's company for advice on how to fix that's. i think. i know if i.

thought the. most fundamental c.v.s. divide i thought i thought through things thank. them all give us give a little did you get most of the white. stuff at the time she faced it lets you look it was she settled religious or did you. want to show up to see them about everybody but it would be a model for was the subject here it was outside what i watch others that i think that it will be most good to ship out so you will get a life if you have no idea itself. of. death and also which. shows you that gets offered a puzzle this. was because of us like you got a box of said to go with that definition but what. about sums up and us in the stomach about a school. one via credit in the world of. the sucker five on us to know what you're

going to have a. good enough to face. and i don't mind them and you. almost going to know i didn't get shot through i thought you had committed some of the most put in as even fifteen minutes. and then another one of you can feel quite a bit of wood has a frosty been on one of the seeds if i was on topic and with these missions. i mean i'm about to pass for them up you get a job loss i did if it had to be just don't feel any montage i guess the fight against the ice and what must be a loan once had a given it a tentative about us could have lost it so. now we're lovers and she begins to follow the last message if you've been in the bottom up on my chest no one could move looser from the look in which i'm not a deal except. obama the potus going to do you know since you got your money with

some of the other things yeah you kind of those who just committed one didn't know that about a month but you're going to question. him when i was and you know. that which is human life. so the more. that there are good looks in new. ideas for democracy and. if our movie had a bad up about a force that ended this much shift what i've yet to make a model of or good plus a markup by less of the mischief will. deploy some of the damage you could do to us and i love the she had. the sunni. take it no stiction with us you know. we did last month i have. shot him if you want the most interesting stuff. so you all want to be sure.

they need of all there's not a bit of articles. they don't know more look here oh oh. and i could buy you. you had to go there and get it. ibrahim stops at the police checkpoint and then pulls over as it's evening and he needs to be fast. he's travelling empty and this part way across mauritania so he took from hard to keep beating his truckload of mangoes back at the border with senegal. although some don't. even. feel the who could resist the hoke. most of. all the whole.

body on the but i'm a muslim most of us has seen a coke with. the show we'll use it's a mocha most voters i will see on the crew. doesn't owe a lot of that on my pillow. to last snow and wow. i did could be it manages to get through customs into mauritania i didn't have that here kind of i'm not going to know about a small part of the world. but i can make some small but that's how most of the piling of america valuable so that done.

the routinely team are gruff compared with iraq or incentive challenged that often these problems with its high is. you know what i just lost about ninety. make up and i want to go bust why i did not really. behave need to do what i did. and a very good. amount of model. as i would love others that is not at all slightly. on edge you know d.o.d.'s. i never want to find out i care about anyone but i thought i'd like to know a lot of thought of it gives all the fires a little bottoming out of the other saying she'd. come up guys past i've been on bartender with the. top ten are asked that the token was going to the. so a bum deal kate that's what i don't want stuff a suit what specific muscles in the bottom of what you put that should have eighty . two step a. border with zero zip they always gets i don't know if he has

such a bit much for just he has a look i need not be funny if i did say mads didn't tell you what solutions. we're sending still way ahead of a phone book out from some of your feet would be funny. and up top of the morning maybe as you are noting like the kind of a minute. i was in an. elevator i'm not going to get out of one of a kind of a i thought obviously you're not going to get you out on i'm going to have and good luck and no. windows i was going to pani and defining it's going to. man did it it was it had it's. as any of those i'm. given the number. she had a little while push. going to muslim i would get across all i did she hot going to mackinac got men i'm assuming.
