maintenance and construction has pledged over five hundred million dollars to help rebuild the bridge well thousands of bridges and tunnels are being structurally assessed across italy david chaytor joins us now from boehner in providence and so the work begins really david to inspect the hundreds of bridges really around the country. yes the most worrying aspect of this is the fact that there was a consumer association report which came out on thursday in the wake of the tragedy in genoa and actually named twenty two bridges which are showing serious deterioration and need close analysis by the engineering experts now one of them i'm actually standing beneath at the moment this is a stretch of mercy let's take a look at it between genoa and children and you can see quite clearly the the destruction of several parts of the span underneath the cracks are appearing some

of the reinforced sections are being exposed to rain and to water and this is the dangerous thing that is happening here and it's thought that many of these bridges. built essentially fifty odd years ago during the building boom in the sixty's didn't have the right quality of cement too much sand was added and that means that the water can get in and start corroding and you can see there there's a whole section which is started to pull away and it's these things that the experts will be looking at to find out exactly how they need to increase the maintenance how expensive it's going to be it probably easier in the end some reports say to demolish these completely rather than try and maintain them and to fill in the cracks because it's simply not working well enough the structures are

too weak and the cement is has come to the end of its effective life and those rods that you saw there were corroding and the gaps are opening up as a little section further down here which you have to look at which as you go to a wooden patch holding together two sections of the motorway so as an awful lot to be done they need very sophisticated equipment but at the moment it seems that the investigations the the wall. infrastructure the whole network of motorways across italy does appear to be safe according to the company that has the concession to look after this the company that was responsible for the bridge that collapsed in genoa but at the moment many consumers many people who live in this area many people who have houses underneath these spans of motorway are extremely alarmed they want the government to step in they want a lot more money to be used to actually look at these structures if there's any danger at all they want them taken down and replaced with

a brand new bridges but this is a highly expensive project and something obviously that the new government here will have to step in and fund if they go ahead but for the moment thanks for the update david david chaytor there in italy so the south asian are going to stand is marking the ninety ninth anniversary of its independence amid a deteriorating security situation present a shift danny laid a wreath at the independence of the ratan side the defense ministries compound paid tribute to those who have sacrificed their lives in the long running struggle to stabilize the country. the taliban control most of the country's districts and violently contesting others just on friday taliban fighters ambushed and killed five police officers in northern and baghlan province that's because a week long battle also continues in the south eastern city of garcia that's killed more than two hundred civilians and wounded hundreds more. is an afghan political analyst and historian joins me now via skype from new delhi good to have you with

us live on al-jazeera. we get we could look back at the establishment of afghanistan way back to five hundred b.c. but we really don't have that much time to discuss when we believe afghanistan was independent because it's been invaded so many times. that's true. history goes back to five hundred b.c. and even beyond afghanistan has had a rich complex and i should also say mostly to motos history about its independence and invasions and conquests but but certainly from seven hundred forty seven when the modern state of ghana stand was established by. any. or any empire was established thereafter and the country. became although

an empire not a modern state since. it became an entity which is sort of the proceeded to today's afghanistan. and modern times we've had three wars with the british british india and they did afghanistan and what we're celebrating today is that a celebration of the third going to war in one nine hundred nineteen which resulted in the. independence of the state of afghanistan in the back then it is of course a rocky mountain a sandy area lots of desert that's the impression we have of the country yet it's seen as a very strategically important geographically and economically part of the economic part of the world. indeed it is the geopolitical position

of have got to stand has. served did well and has also brought a lot of calamities to its people people have been victims of of her successive invasions and conquests throughout his history and until very recently also but also these these foreign and visions and conquest class of being there and the crossroads of the all the trade routes. being. one of the famous ones but also other trade routes between so interlinked south asia between asia and europe all of that has also enraged afghanistan and many ways. and the civilization that emerged from it is there a mix of of the regional influences indeed it does have a rich history both from the east of the west and yet to we see an independent

afghanistan in twenty eighteen but not one that's unified and it's claimed by various internal groups the still a lot of work to be done to find a happy medium to peace and stability do you think it is possible. let's not forget that afghanistan has been and continuous war for the past four decades. forty years of war since the russian invasion in one nine hundred seventy nine. and then successive other. you know. reasons for for conflict yes so that has indeed left the country as in a. largely i would call a survivalist mood. which is natural after so many years of conflict and and indeed we have to work on.

reestablishing. a nation. and that but. i don't i am hopeful i am hopeful that that that will happen i already see a lot of hope in the new generation of the afghans the ones who have been educated and they have entered you know active social life in the last sixteen seventeen years and in afghanistan despite the continuous attacks from the taliban and other terrorist groups these people are the young generation is striving to make a better life for themselves and for the future of afghanistan so it is achievable well we shall see and hopefully it will be in due course for the motel in america thanks very much for your time. thank you. now a new movie with an all asian cast is signaling

a big change for hollywood crazy rich asians who is drawing the crowds and regard it as a long overdue showcase along the glutted part of american society rob reynolds reports are from hollywood for. a gala opening night for a movie that's breaking barriers. the romantic comedy crazy rich asians is the first major hollywood film in a quarter century with an all asian can just director and executive producer we all recognize the significance but to be honest right now as i'm talking to you i feel nothing but excitement. the actors may be asian but the movies are universal family love money just the biggest and almost crazy rich asians is based on the bestselling novel by kevin kwan who produced the film you know i think it's important to acknowledge that it's been way too long since we've had an all star asian cast and a hollywood movie about the same time this is the movie for everyone lori nakamura

has already seen the film once and she's back with friends for a second viewing it's a wacky brahm com but i think at the same time it's also showing. in normal situations just like everybody else crazy rich asians is in a way a repudiation of hollywood sad history of racist and stereotype depictions of asians in film. from the exploitative kung fu flicks of the seventy's and eighty's must make. the link. to mickey rooney's performance in breakfast at tiffany's asians have been denigrated and asian actors passed over for leading roles according to a recent study only about five percent of hollywood movie parts go to asian actors like laura condom or it really seems that there are a lot of character parts out for ethnic you know are people of color but there

weren't a lot of leading roles but sure the hoopla over crazy rich asians is box office hype the idea that an all asian cast is some sort of novelty glosses over the historic achievements of japanese. korean and thai cinema among others but coming after recent films like the superhero hit black and and the charming animated feature coco crazy rich asian seems to be part of a long overdue trend i feel like we are seeing a sea change though a lot of these americans have come out of screenings they have this this it is like this urge to cry and they don't know exactly why this movie is for that crazy rich asians will open in theaters worldwide in august and september robert oulds al jazeera hollywood. well and if it's for have the weather with evident but still ahead on al-jazeera they have to be that names we visit the graves of thousands of lives with their job while making be desperate journey across the mediterranean.

cimarron that will make its way towards japan towards honshu as we go through the latter part of the week for soulik that's going to slam its way into south korea around the middle parts of the week this is the big one winds could gust to two hundred kilometers per hour and then a little further north was well the remains of run bear that brought some flooding into eastern china that's going to gradually ease a little further east which as we go through the next few days you'll see lots of cloud and rain there from these three systems. pushing up towards q.c. towards honshu as we go on through tuesday and eventually that will run up to reward good parts of the korean peninsula and so we have seen some flooding is a said into eastern parts of china this was the scene here where we have had some really heavy rain taping down widespread flooding west of weather is now in the process of making its way further east. so whether i can turn our way.

national board in the debate on migration is polarized to include too strident positions heartless and headless how do you define an indigenous brits who do they benefit isn't this more about living with difference and you and visas and who do they contain. the right to live anywhere in the world have every right to leave their country. goes head to head with a cold coming on al-jazeera. when people need to be heard. right now he's been there a few his life it's not unknown for life. and the story needs to be told we do stories that have been passed on suspect. all of the law to make sure that the bad guys behind backs al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring new documentaries and live news on air and on the.

children. and venezuelans have been lining up early on me to quit already and border trying to leave their troubled nation but ecuador's government has tightened entry requirements and as well as now need a passport to gain entry previously they really needed their national i.d. . the u.n. is warning that a syrian government offensive it would put three million people in danger but that hasn't stopped refugees in turkey from going back across the border. thousands of people have crossed through the bubble how are crossing into it lead which is the last rebel held province in the country. simcoe soup is live for us inside syria all the border with turkey walk talk and dishes like those that are displaced and those that are arriving said and. soon said turkish governments has closed this whole logic vigors a crossing in two thousand and fifteen and this gate was only open for humanitarian

aid crossings but everything every year during. the ramadan took its government opens the state and let the see if you come to visit there come say so you see the buses behind me the syrians are coming and getting on those buses to go to the relatives and family members who are in the camp until now in the last almost two weeks turkish government operations say that at least fifty thousand syrians have crossed the border to the syrian side to visit their families and they were crossing it's about five thousand people per day and when we speak to the people who have come from turkey to syria they say despite any shelling or any bombing life then they ease the peace with our family here and you know our homeland but when you go to the camps the situation is still very dire especially

here in my camp that's my area which is needed is a base from the turkish border because past it is full it's over capacity and the services are lacking and i can say that even the health conditions aren't good and if something happens as the regime threatens the syrians this is the this is like a ticking ticking bomb by the turkish border where almost one million syrians i.d.p.'s our place in terms of those that are displaced i mean the in the mood in terms of the preparations for this. muslim holiday either. when you go to the city center for instance we were in the city center yesterday there are there is that there is population over there and life is. really the norm over from here many of the late. night in the sun so often people are buying some

stuff some dresses for the eat you see the candy shop for that people buy to serve for their guests during the eat whole the day but when you come to the come to the camps of course we speak to people when when we asked them about either they begin to cry because they miss their home they miss their family and what they did in live as a whole the day as a piece here is not actually empty in the way they used to perform before so there is some happen to us but also their hearts are broken and of course since the infrastructure and the physical conditions are not good you don't see anything in the streets of those camps it's just the sentiment of the people that their hearts are broken and they are desperate leave it there thanks for the updates and to see that the city. the world's largest annual pilgrimage the heart has begun in saudi arabia's city of mecca but many muslims living in qatar say they're being

stopped from getting that laura but mentally as well from doha. this mosque in doha's education city suburb is famous for its architecture and the impulse was of the car on the wall on the building that rests on five pillars representing the five requirements of islam. one of these is to attend the hutch pilgrimage in saudi arabia. but to britain because socko says the saudi imposed blockade on carter he's been unable to do so i applaud the us. here just two days before the plane. it happened that. i paid and gave my passport to. the blockade happened just two days later so i was able to go. from france but lives in qatar and is attempted to gain a visa many times over but he's constantly told the same thing apply for your

country of origin so the obvious you know you need the stuff on them that. he was not i was not able to get the visa for his case isn't unique many worshippers here in qatar face the same difficulty it's not possible to fly anymore that is more like saudi arabia and a counselor at embassy is to apply from so it's not possible anymore this shouldn't happen and for any muslim anywhere in the world i don't think that but something like this has to do with some political issues it's something religious people attending this mosque live in qatar but have come from all over the walls many here say they'd like to apply to had but have found no ok mechanism to do so instead many said they have no choice but to apply for that own country something they say is time consuming costly and against the core principles of islam saudi authorities say that cesspool website to handle requests from countries who wish to go to

hardship but carter's ministry of religious affairs says the border crossing remains closed there are no planes transferring people from doha and there's no clearly defined way of applying for hodge agencies to organize hutch travel from kata say that also be banned by saudi arabia and i've heard a lot of things about going to another country and then applying for hatch from there which is not very convenient for a lot of people prior to the blockade jasmine says she would simply drive to saudi arabia with her family it was almost like a family became issue merik. saying this is really fine justin says she's more familiar with saudi arabia than her country of origin and cinci live so close to the border she doesn't understand why it's become so difficult to perform hotch you're about manly al jazeera doha. turkish president remains defiant after two

major ratings agencies warned his country will find it even harder to pay its debts he insists the growing economic crisis is part of a plot against turkey the ones made the comments at a meeting of his ruling party the turkish lira has lost almost forty percent of its value this year so you're going to go has more from istanbul a brisk business that's expanded along with turkey's middle class. has been selling products made by turkey's largest home appliances company for twenty five years but lately his sales have taken a hit because. we've had to put our prices up because of the current economic situation and that's affected our sales despite this he is optimistic that he and the country kind of weather the current economic storm which began as a war of words with tuckey's nato ally the u.s. over according to the president donald trump the arrest of an evangelical pastor andrew bronson sparking

a trade spot between the two countries is the start of the holiday week a turkey and despite the slump the shopping malls that are all packed with people but prices have shot up in recent days and people are feeling the pinch to consider going to affect us a lot of my pension is already gone because of this i don't know how all afford holiday presents for my family who need you we need money to show we can't do anything about it. this is about the games being played between global policy it's kind of a cold war. the devaluation in the turkish lira may be good for exporters but the uncertainty and continuing antipathy with the us has rattled the economy even as the currency stabilized last week market american or. of course the terrorists. in another financial times have affected turkey's economy it's borderline economic exploitation by the us as it's affected our sales president has placed much faith

in an agenda of growth at all costs but that has had its own drawbacks billions of dollars have been borrowed and spent particularly in infrastructure and construction projects a tactic that could become unsustainable if there is further instability in turkey's economy. al-jazeera istanbul. more than sixty three thousand by brits and refugees that have crossed the mediterranean to europe so far this year many heading for spain called paul reports from. has become all too common. nobody knew their names and soon the letters spelling out on migrant will peel away to your to get there you don't mean. the grave digger packer gliss yes remembers where they're all buried. a lucky few have been identified merlin you

and uneasier and china has won the fast gold medal they came in with it as a combat sport that also has an individual performance disciplines them pay one is the man who got the. the china at. the high cost of china has topped every asian games medal table since one thousand nine hundred two. my form is not one hundred percent today it was more like ninety percent but i'm very pleased about that you can be at one hundred percent every time after all it's still a competitive sport now the games had officially begun not long before that with an extravagant opening ceremony in jakarta. that i in a stadium purpose built for the asian games fifty six years ago indonesia officially launched this year's games with a big show in central jakarta i more than forty thousand people watched as

performers took to a six hundred tonne stage with a waterfall and a volcano replica tickets sold out but there was criticism over the price ranging from seventy dollars to three hundred fifty dollars too expensive for most indonesian many gathered outside the stadium to be there when the games began but. everything has been smooth peaceful even dequeue to went to the stadium is very well organized indonesia is showing. such a big event in the near future i hope indonesia can bid for the only picks. like they did at the winter olympics earlier in the year north and south korea march together under one flag as a sign of unity and they will have joint teams for three events but the two powerhouse nations to watch in the medal rankings are china and japan held every four years an estimated three billion dollars was spent putting on the asian games two thousand and eighteen most of that on infrastructure the organizers are optimistic that hosting the games will help elevate indonesia's international

stature and could boost its economy and that the money spent is an investment that will see dividends we're not going to have to return like an over like what we're this is a national branding. if we success to have the station games we believe that. the trust. and the tories for the future it will come by itself so we believe that this is a long term investment. thank you but for now the focus for the next two weeks will be on the athletes as they compete to bring home a victory for each of the forty five countries participating. scott joins me live now from jakarta skull first gold medal to china no real surprise that with a lot to dominance of the game since the early eighty's. absolutely you know that was expected that china and japan both will do very very well they have dominated the games since the eighty's as you've said and you know just when you look at the

sheer number the training and the money they have behind their athletic teams that is probably part of the reason now it's in japan too is a powerhouse here but what's interesting in this coming out from their their management of their athletic teams they also look at the asian games as kind of a warm up at least this asian games as a warm up for the olympics in tokyo in just two years time they're using this as a learning experience obviously they want to win as many medals here as possible tatyana but they're using this as a learning experience against these top athletes that they'll be facing again in just two years time so when it comes to china they're probably looking very closely at how they perform the techniques they use and how their athletes perform against them but then also against all the other nations who are here too you know there are forty five nations here so a lot of different teams a lot of different players out there that touch on that then scott what about the smaller countries what chances to they have. what they're interesting about the asian games and this is something the organizers are very proud of there are

a lot of sports that are played that are competed that aren't really played out anywhere else in the world there are these indigenous asian games there are a couple as you heard as you mentioned you know the the gold going to china that is a martial arts faction of the martial arts a fashion of martial arts that really isn't performed to many other places in the world but here it is and there are also some wrestling groups that go through that are there you know from the stands from different parts of asia so they're very interesting to watch they're unique and you've got some of the best players in the world here so that is why it's thing that these other smaller countries that might not have as much money in their athletic departments like china like japan they can still have a good field if you will because some of these sports have come from their countries absolutely and you call up with the unified korean basketball team and iran today this coming more than just a token of solidarity now. it is yeah this is the women's basketball team now they are at

a facility here in jakarta we went in there. ok sorry about that we seem to have lost to scott either live for us there the asian games in jakarta catch up with him later on. now the asian games baseball competition stalls on tuesday and one player at the japan would love to have in their team sadly for them busy having a stellar season in major league baseball shohei otani was brought on as a pinch hitter as the law foundry the angels held a slim seven to six lead against the texas rangers and the rookie did his job yet again sending this one over the fence for a three run homer the angels going on to win eleven to seven their eleven games behind houston in the american league west. india passing on day two of the third cricket test against england the visit has resumed on three hundred seven for six on

a still going strong and india calmly to nothing down in the five match series. roger federer is a win away from claiming his eighth the cincinnati title off to setting up a final showdown with no fat joke of it the swiss was at the game stuff it got out of belgium in the semifinals now they took the first set to a tie break which is better than the one but it looked as though his opponent was having some trouble with his right shoulder it's cart was caught on to the court to trade him still the match went on off on trying to get through but with the second set even a one one was forced to pull out. but that's how it goes sometimes you got to take him move on i'm very excited to be back in another final. in cincinnati against novak in particular a lot riding again on the match is great to refresh our rivalry that we have been going on for so many years now and so i see him back having won wimbledon and snow back in another finds for him here in cincy so i think it's going to be very exciting. so as i mentioned waiting for federer in the final familiar facing five

former world number one to which the so challenged in three sets to reach the final and is only. the series title that eludes him. i did win the first said today but i wasn't really concerned how it played i was happy i played in the third so that's that's what i'll take from today's match the battle you know obviously two and a half hours more than two and a half hours against one of best players in the world what more can you ask for obviously coming into the finals playing a fun or a feather it's going to be a tough one last two to feather here and several times in the finals it's my sixt hopefully hopefully this time i can get a double. christiana rinaldo his first competitive game with the event has ended in a dramatic late victory although he didn't get on the scoresheet unself lots of interest in the city a game against kev a bet on our following rallies one hundred million dollars mi five the summer event
