business updates brought to you by qatar airways going places together. this is al-jazeera. hello welcome to this out of their news live from doha and martine dennis coming up in the next sixty minutes side of the. the afghan president's message of sacrifice and charity is interrupted by a taliban rocket attack. turkey complains to the world trade organization about u.s. terrorists the latest salvo in the deepening trade war between the two. children

armed with guns on the front line the reality of war in yemen. the muslims around the world celebrate the festival of eve. in sports finding champions south korea rinse the knockout rounds of the asian gangs football event some young men with a goal against coca stamets sets up a last sixteen match against iraq. but let's start in afghanistan where rocket attacks have interrupted a peace message by president. which he was delivering for the muslim holiday of. now police say the taliban was behind a series of rocket strikes in kabul one of them actually landed near the

presidential palace and the other's close to a nato compound and the u.s. embassy now these attacks come just days after the president offered a three month cease fire to the taliban. could begin again we if we think that with rocket attacks this nation will surrender they have to think again this is a brave nation is always ready to defend its independence and islamic tradition now parliamentary elections are due in october and the violence has been on the rise despite calls for peace in june the government announced a unilateral ceasefire with the taliban there were rare scenes of fighters an afghan soldiers embracing each other to celebrate the end of ramadan that didn't last a few days later the taliban attacked two army checkpoints in the western province of banty's that killed thirty afghan security members now this month more than four four hundred people were killed during a five day offensive in the city of gardening

a quarter of those who died were civilians on sunday ashraf ghani again propose a three month conditional cease fire but just the following day the taliban abducted passengers in a bus on a busy highway we can now speak to michael semple who is joining us live via skype from dublin he's a visiting professor at queen's university belfast this is a very old day she is attack by the taliban clearly they're sending a message that they're not in the least bit interested in this offer of a cease fire that's come from the president. yes and unfortunately over the years many thousands of rockets are being fired on kabul i'm not sure i would call it audacious cheeky perhaps. it doesn't have any military impact but it sends a clear message that they the taliban do not want to join in this idea of a reciprocal ceasefire part of the irony is that the majority of taliban fighters

really don't want to fight over aid they would have been quite happy doto have been given at least four days off. probably there will be little real fighting so we'd have you know a some commander has managed to to settle some rockets on these to get the hunt lanes without having to. to round up too many fighters because when we talk about the taliban we often think of it as an amorphous mass but actually may ality it is . many many different factions within this fighting group. well it's so important to get that right there is a single movement the afghan taliban movement they recognize one a mere. sort of everything that which is done in the movement is done in his name and so there is a there is essential authority that's how last ied it was possible with one ceasefire announcement to get fighting to stop pretty much across the country

however when it comes to the organizing of that fighting it is conducted by hundreds of different groups of operating under the taliban on brother sometimes these groups are sort of like in competition so i suspect that whoever was firing off the rockets today was well aware that he'd be you know storing up a little bit of credit at headquarters or whoever is encouraging them to do this and why is there seeming these such a disconnect between the violence that is being waged on the ground and the the back door channels that are being exploited rather efficiently it would appear in terms of forging peace i mean the americans are saying that they're ready to facilitate direct talks between the taliban and the government and indeed with had ashraf ghani offering this this three month cease fire. yes i think that people are pulling in then different directions they it is true that the both the afghan government on the on the americans are trying to to trigger peace talks between the

government and the the taliban leadership the calculation by the taliban leadership is that they're doing quite well on the battlefield at the moment they are they don't believe that the americans are going to be around for ever. they're being advised by some of their supporters that they can wait for the americans out so they're least interested in having top down peace talks i mean i do a lot of research on this i find that many people in the movement. are unconvinced by their leadership strategy of fighting on indefinitely they you know they're tired they want an end there you know they just they don't most of them never see an american from you know one months to the next so they're unconvinced that they're actually fighting against an occupation but they don't have a way out so i mean they're stuck the war continues the leadership are resisting serious peace talks those inside the movement who are actually broadly in favor of

it because they're in a in a centralized top down movement have no way of affecting the decisions of the leadership ok michael semple thank you very much indeed talking to live from dumpling. that turkey has also complained about us terrorists with the world trade organization donald trump doubled levies on steel and many in this month when turkey refused to release an american policy that the turkish government retaliated by imposing its own interests the president added one saying his country was under attack. there is no difference between the direct attacks on our call to prayer in our flag and the attack on our economy the goal is the same the goal is to bring to heel turkey in the turkish nation to hold a captive we're nation that prefers to be shot in the nick rather than to be chained at the knee so what exactly is the w t o and what can it do it's the world's highest court for resolving international trade disputes and for

negotiating new trade rules it was formed in one thousand nine hundred five with the purpose of promoting free trade by persuading countries to abolish tariffs now one of its leading critics is president trump has been advancing a protectionist agenda he's been imposing tariffs on the grounds of national security but trade lawyers are worried about the national security justification becoming a norm they say it could lead to a breakdown in the workings of the w t o we can talk to jules dyson now he's a turkey analyst at control risks that's a specialist risk insolvency joining us live now from london thanks very much for talking to us here at al-jazeera so what specifically do the turks say the u.s. is doing wrong in terms of breaching w t o rules. the u.s. has put tariffs on on steel and i mean you know exports in turkey to the u.s. . this is damaging the economy and this is damaging investor

confidence very heavily in turkey. one of the beyond the sort of international trade rules one of the key upsets for turkey is that this is is this. sign of bad faith from what supposed to be an ally in the form of the us. but the w t o i mean is often criticised isn't there for the effort being a very slow moving image glacial pace to organization so just by registering a complaint it would take forever wouldn't it for it to be adjudicated upon the complaint in the in a way could be seen as more of a symbolic move it's a way for turkey to express its frustration with the us on the international the international scene is also a way for the turkish government to demonstrate to domestic supporters that it's it's exploring various different options in a way to counter. this what they believe perceives an attack by the us. and it has

to be remembered i guess that the turkish currency and its economy was in dire straits anyway wasn't it before there was this introduction of this this diplomatic dispute with the united states yes so keys are turkey's economy situation had been worsening for quite some time before the u.s. imposed sanctions being in this month. those sort of bad up everything was already going on and also most importantly knocked investor confidence in turkey and that's and that sort of has led to this spiral so right so what are the i mean notwithstanding the u.s. position towards the turkish economy what are the fiscal tools if you like the president everyone has his disposal that would please investors what would instill investor confidence in the turkish economy now. it's exact so right so you before

the imposition of sanctions investors have been calling for the government to sort of take a step back from military policy allow the central bank to raise rates investors want to see clear steps towards a tightening of fiscal policy see the government do spending. we we've been watching this closely sort of and we. finally there isn't doesn't seem to be a huge amount of moves on the government side to giving this the central bank more independence to set montreux posi and the government also is still kind of in this mindset to drive. to drive the country's growth out of the crisis and so when you use incentives and cheap credit as a means to do this and the president everyone seems to have a visceral dislike of of interest rates and yet so many economists suggesting that the only way out of this particular crisis is by the raising of them.

yes that's right he's expressed. his expertise and he's made some what economists most crimes consider fairly unorthodox remarks about the role of interest rates and the effect they have an inflation in this kind of thing. i mean this is this if they if this is only investors really want to see happening the problem the turkey faces is that. a lot of companies. in turkey have heavy amounts of debt there's some of them want to. resource that debt raising interest rates could make that harder beyond all the concerns around and beyond that was expressed concern around this being about the evils of interest rates if you like there's also more pragmatic concern in that he doesn't want to stifle growth within the country all right george dyson thank you very much indeed for taking the time to talk to us thanks. now either through sanctions all the years of economic terrorist the trumpet ministration has been using its economic clout rather liberally as

a political weapon china and the european union they've been the latest targets that she have a time that means the trump of ministration has been setting new records with its imposition of sanctions on foreign entities though it is continuing a trend we saw under barack obama what is different is the imposition of economic tariffs this administration overtly views the dollar as a weapon and the globalized economy as a battleground the numbers have been climbing proud of donald trump's presidency but according to the u.s. treasury sanctions were imposed on close to one thousand entities and individuals in twenty seventeen a new record. and this year i'm lists predict the administration will suppose that number potentially adding more than fourteen hundred entities to the list of those sanctioned he's president came into office without much to government experience and with very limited in the western relationships hello the broader executive

branch and what sanctions lesson do is execute our policy effectively not. it is unclear sometimes whether the us has a grand strategy when it imposes sanctions is washington trying to change the behavior of those it deems as working against u.s. national interests or simply punishing them without any opportunity for redemption . and this anyone really believe that russia will forsake crimea for example as a result of sanctions what exactly is the u.s. trying to achieve in the rush to project u.s. power such questions sometimes remain unanswered. at least with the trumpet ministrations imposition of economic tariffs they would seem to be a goal president trump says other countries are exploiting the us economically and that needs to end and that is why we are going to stick together and win for our farmers and our factory workers are still work this year we are all across this nation the imposition of tariffs began in january with restrictions imposed on

solar panels and washing machines the trumpet ministration said it hopes to boost domestic manufacturing since then china has borne the brunt tariffs have been imposed on thirty four billion dollars worth of chinese imports they went into effect july the sixth and tariffs on an additional sixteen billion dollars of goods will go into effect on august twenty third in addition twenty five percent tariffs on steel and ten percent on alum in human ports have shocked allies such as canada mexico japan and the e.u. turkey's tariffs of meanwhile been doubled to fifty percent on steel and twenty percent on aluminum yet here too there is confusion in imposing the steel and aluminum tariffs donald trump invoked national security his administration is using those tariffs as bargaining chips in trade negotiations how does that square with keeping america safe that has long been international grumbling at the central and see if the us dollar and financial system to the global economy and it is likely

that the frequent deployment of both as weapons often with little recourse for those affected will heighten those complaints in the future. washington. well the impact of u.s. sanctions are really being felt elsewhere particularly in a wrong where the unemployment rate stands at about twelve percent with more than three million people out of work there's also a growing number of working poor and they are struggling to cope with driving costs . reports from tehran. the busy birds of a factory floor where business seats and board rooms are left behind for overalls and dangerous work mirabel makes industrial scale water valves and employs hundreds of people around the country and if things go to plan the intend to hire hundreds more was just and i don't think death some industries inside iran more development in the more export we can do the more factories will be brought online so we can

employ some new workers business leaders and industry chiefs want to shift iran away from an agriculture based economy and develop its ability to make and sell manufactured goods it's in big factories like this that iran sees its financial future heavy machinery being worked by a skilled labor force making important things but if you were to drive by this industrial park on the outskirts of the capital to run you might not notice these buildings are a hive of activity and that's part of the problem. is time that i mean vesting an industry needs financial resources one of the solutions is foreign investment where providing some incentives to attract foreign investors definitely foreign investment speeds up industrial development and consoled the issue of unemployment iranian manufacturers boast about cheaper labor costs than china but foreign investors point to problems of scale and quality control factors holding

a run back from taking on a production powerhouse that's been called the world's factory. american sanctions also hang like a question mark over iranian factories the government hopes offering free land tax breaks will make it easier to convince people that iran might be their cup of tea. away from the factory floors some three million iranians are still looking for work . is a forty six year old air conditioning technician he's been out of work for a month and his age the job situation is not good opportunities are taken by people with connections have no university degree my resume doesn't register anyway when i lose my job i have to start again from zero and fortunately there is no way for people like me security. basic necessities are so expensive having fun is something most in and his wife no longer think about he'd be willing to do anything

to earn an honest living but says the job market is saturated with young people also looking for work. he's too old for the government to care about him and that he's putting his faith in god but he admits being unemployed is destroying him. we've got a lot more to come on this al-jazeera news hour including not backing down mammals leader aung sun suu kyi says the threat of what she calls terrorism still exists in iraq kind of state. aid starts to get to the desperate people of india's carolus state as the floodwaters recede. and as a generation game in jakarta find out why asia's top sporting competition is appealing to both young and old.

the taiwan says it will not bow to pressure from china after another country has cut diplomatic ties president sigh and criticize el salvador's decision to establish relations with beijing instead the third country to do so this year china's been pressuring countries and companies to recognize taiwan a part of its territory cycle which china's behavior out of control. of the war. today's china is not only a menace to cross straight relations what china is doing right now all over the world no matter if it's interfering in the in a fees of countries or destroying the order of international markets it has already caused a high degree of global instability we need to remind the international community that this is not only related to taiwan that we will not tolerate the serious situation in a more. only seventeen countries have now got diplomatic ties with taiwan most of

them are poor nations in the pacific region or in latin america like haiti honduras nicaragua taiwan's only diplomatic ally in africa now is switzerland but is taiwan and beijing of engaged in years of diplomatic tug of war in developing countries china's offered economic support from the world's second largest economy to smaller nations as a bargaining chip taiwan is not recognized as an independent country by musters the world and by the united nations more now for major and brown in beijing. well this is another important symbolic diplomatic victory for china as it seeks to pick off one by one those countries that still have diplomatic relations with taiwan since zion when became president of taiwan in january two thousand and sixteen five countries have severed ties with taiwan el salvador now joining that lengthening

list on shoes day taiwan's foreign ministry reacted angrily taiwan's foreign minister joseph who said that china was luring away taiwan's allies with promises of vast financial aid he said this was a game that taiwan was not prepared to play well of course this all comes just as zion when has been on a stopover in the united states she'd been visiting billie's and paragliding two of the seventeen countries that still recognize taiwan she made a speech in the united states the first time a taiwanese leader has done that in ten years that upset the chinese and then lo and behold literally just a day later we learned that el salvador has decided to sever ties with taiwan now taiwan said that it knew what el salvador was planning to do in fact it had an idea this was going to happen back in june it a try to persuade el salvador not to do this but of course in the end it simply lost out in the inevitable bidding war with china there is now just one country in

africa that has ties with taiwan that is swaziland and i think china would very much like swaziland to come into its orbit before early september because that's when president xi jinping will be hosting an africa china summit here in beijing. floodwaters are receding in the indian state of caroline which has seen its worst floods in a century more than four hundred people have died rescue workers are handing out medicine to prevent water borne diseases more than a million people are taking refuge in temporary relief camps after their homes were washed away andrew thomas has more from cola carolus chief minister says there are now more than a million people living in temporary relief shelters across the state he's also given an update on the weather situation carola has had two and a half times the normal rainfall in august so far now the water is all receding

the weather has improved in the last twenty four forty eight hours it's been more sunny been rainy that's the good news but of course that brings its own problems as the water level drops the problems of disease is increased things like mosquitoes can breed in pools and then of course with this much water around much of it dirty because it's been sewage people are having to difficult to the open because they're not put toilets in the facilities where they are that brings the risk of things like the favor in the case of los gatos or cholera is also another problem to add to the mix snakes but been more than fifty people admitted to hospital with relatively minor snakebites from vikas if such a thing can be minor but that is just another problem to add to those of the state . coming up on this al-jazeera news on just a little while carrie will have the weather news and also coming up in a bow outbreak in d.l.c.

to take a look at the top stories here on the al-jazeera news rocket attacks have interrupted a message of peace by president ashraf ghani which he was delivering for the muslim holiday of. police say the taliban was behind the rocket strikes one of them landed close to the presidential palace and the others close to a nato compound and the u.s. embassy. turkey has filed a complaint with the world trade organization over u.s. tyrus on steel and knew donald trump doubled levis earlier this month after turkey refused to release an american paulson accused of links. to the failed coup in

twenty sixth. taiwan says it won't bow to pressure from china after another country cut diplomatic ties president side in when criticised el salvador's decision to establish relations with beijing instead the third nation to do so this year a million miles either cheese says the repatriation of hundreds or thousands of range of refugees is a matter for bangladesh more than seven hundred thousand ranges of fled to the neighboring country after a military crackdown almost a year ago. alphonso cheek claimed the danger of what she calls terrorism is real and present in rakhine state she also said the risks of into coming no violence will remain unless the security challenges addressed the danger of terrorist activities which was initial course a course of events leading to the humanitarian crisis in rakhine remains real and present today and this is security challenges address the risk of intercommunal

violence will remain it is a threat that could have grave consequences not just for myanmar but also for other countries in our region and beyond. our let's go live now to our correspondent florence lu he's be monitoring aung san suu kyi speech from. her and florence unsung suchi maintaining this line then. the presence of her hidden state is equated with national security. well that's really no surprise but he has talked about the threat of terrorism in northern rakhine state this was the reason the myanmar military gave when it launched its crackdown a year ago in northern rakhine state against the ranger they said it was in retaliation to attacks carried out by a then little known group that calls itself the. solidarity movement or our side they had attacked several security posts but since then the military's actions have

been criticized as disproportionate. a u.n. official has described the violence there as a textbook example of ethnic cleansing and myanmar's aung sun suu kyi led government has been criticized for not doing enough for not speaking up for this range a minority for failing to condemn the violence carried out by the myanmar military and for failing to adequately investigate the allegations of atrocities carried out by its soldiers now and most recently for failing to create a safe environment for refugees who fled to bangladesh to return to myanmar now the myanmar government says that the threat of terrorism still continues and that it has to be careful but academics have also pointed out that the that trying to lay the blame on a group of fighters fight it's a faith that only fighting for the human rights of the revenge of minority well that's not going to solve the issue because what really can solve the issue of what's happening in rakhine state that is to end the widespread discrimination

against the range of minority and that is something that we've not seen the myanmar government address indeed unfold suchi was addressing some kind of think tank kid in singapore wasn't she i'm just wondering how much power does unsung suchi herself have we know that she is the de facto leader she's the chief minister but how much power would does she actually have in her hands to affect change in this matter of dealing with the ranger. now again our government is a very strange hybrid government this is something that they've inherited from years of military rule decades of military rule the civilian let government owns and cities government has to share power with the military and the military has rewritten as written the constitution in such a way that they're almost guaranteed a certain say in government they resent they've reserved twenty five percent of seats in parliament for themselves they keep control of three key ministries the home affairs border feds and defense ministry but let's not forget that all sons

suchi she has a lot of moral authority she is very highly regarded in myanmar so she has a lot of she has a lot of sway over the people in myanmar and she's been criticized by people in the international community by fellow nobel laureates for failing to use that moral authority to speak up for this minority group that's persecuted that the u.n. describes as one of the most persecuted. minorities in the world now her supporters say she can't tread too she can't move too quickly and too fast against the military because they still control so much power in government and they've raised the possibility of a coup having said that academics say there is that's unlikely the military isn't going to want to return to the days when young there was an international pariah when myanmar was subject to sanctions so the key point here is that even though on one city and her government may not have full control she has at the end of the day fail to use her moral authority to speak up for the rights of the ranger and to

condemn the violence and to condemn the discrimination and persecution that this minority group faces because the live in kuala lumpur thank you. now the greek prime minister has hailed an end to an age of will sterrett is the country x. is the biggest international bailout in history ahead of a planned t.v. address alexis tsipras acknowledged the hardship of recent years and said past mistakes would not be repeated greece avoided bankruptcy in the last eight years through a three hundred billion dollar loan from the i.m.f. and the european union and didn't return it was forced to impose punishing the measures aimed at balancing its finances and go live now to athens the greek capital and speak to our correspondent there jones or oculus john so alexis tsipras has now made his address it was a televised address to the people of the country he chose

a rather significant location and what was his message. essentially his message is that the country is now in bucking on a new age that this is now a normal european country able to choose its fate and without the external coercion of other countries telling it what to do with its economy of course that's a selective version of the truth because all euro zone members have to submit their budgets for approval before submitting them to parliament and greece is very much under the european commission has called enhanced oversight and which is another word for monitoring effectively the greek economy will be under strict supervision for the next thirty or forty years however this is staying within the cities a narrative which is that this government was elected in order to rid this country of the stairs the policies that were caused by the policies of previous administrations and the opposition conservatives have their own narrative which is

that cities are by being elected in twenty fifteen and attempting a much more populist policy actually spooks markets and made things much worse and extended the period of austerity by the three years that it has now been in power and unfortunately those two narratives. the prime minister by coming out all the day of greece's liberation from the stairs if you like and striking this very polarizing tone is also telling us what the political dialogue and atmosphere are going to be like here as the government heads into an election year we've got local and european parliament elections in may and the general election by september of twenty nineteen yes that lack of consensus may also spook markets will which we'll be watching greece very closely in the next few months john as as greece comes out of this decade have a hardship exactly what sort of state is the greek economy and because. it's still

got massive. debt to g.d.p. ratio has an even higher than ten years ago. yes i mean greece has lost more than a quarter of its economy because of all steroids the policies government spending was cut very severely and very quickly and that caused a massive depression actually it's unprecedented in developed post-war economies this is the only country to have been through a twenty six percent drop in it's a call in the size of its economy it's now stabilized it's recession it's growing very very modestly and really the outlook is that the economy will grow by roughly two percent for the next five years this isn't going to make up quickly for the number of jobs lost in the the amount of business lost and it will probably mean that greece's brain drain continues young people will continue to seek jobs abroad and it's unknown whether they will return quickly or whether they will remain

abroad that too will over the medium to. put a great pressure on the country's finances because that will mean that the tax base continues to shrink for the next few years even though greece has now graduated from its program so greece is in very big trouble still it has to trade extremely carefully it's got to spend its money very carefully it's got to raise its money very carefully so as not to kill the economy that remains and it also has to show that it is friendly to foreign direct investment all of those things now remain to be seen that is what markets will be wait waiting and watching for all right john psaropoulos live in athens thank you. now venezuela's major opposition parties of called for a general strike and for a day of protest there's been uncertainty about president nicolas maduro as monetary policy which came into effect on monday the changes include devaluing the boulevard by ninety five percent and linking it to a government backed cryptocurrency venezuelans reacted cautiously to these changes

with remaining shot is assuming it's a trick a make over the government is doing to the national economy it's a terrible deception removing five zero doesn't improve the economy at all but it will improve the. people are going to be confused there's no posters explaining how to convert the old currency to the new one people have to take money out of their accounts and divide everything by ten thousand they tell you look at this it costs five all of ours the people are going to have to take out a calculator how many are five ball of ours are they five hundred thousand or five million the government has to better explain to the public. land rights activists has been freed from prison after receiving a royal pardon valley's spent two years in jail she was arrested in twenty sixteen for protesting against the forced removal of thousands of people in the capital phnom penh the united nations has blamed the saudi coalition for most of the child

casualties in yemen's war this year is calling for an investigation into an airstrike that killed forty children earlier this month most of them aboard a school bus many children have been recruited as soldiers by who's the rebels so reports unease and his family are safe and now. the school in size has become their refuge since they were forced to flee her weeks ago. they want to thousands of yemeni families who fled to keep city off to the assault by the saudi coalition. but on like many others his age and niece has managed to avoid being forcibly recruited as a child soldier by the host the rebels. they turned up at my house and forced themselves in me in three friends were kidnapped drugged and beaten up the commander told us they needed us to fight and sunnah but we managed to escape. and he says story is not an unusual one after more than three years of war and

thousands of deaths the warring parties have turned to children to boost their ranks the united nations report documented the recruitment of more than eight hundred child soldiers in twenty seventeen in yemen some as young as eleven but the geneva base human rights group says the number of child soldiers fighting in the conflict is much higher. a lot of the who these are taking advantage of the severe poverty families are living in children are being brainwashed to fight and some forcefully sent to training camps who for years are going to schools in orphanages to recruit children we know of one thousand eight hundred cases but i think the figure is much higher. the u.n. report also found that nearly two thirds of child soldiers in yemen are fighting for the healthy in june human rights watch called on all parties in the conflict to ensure that no children were taking part in the fighting in her data and to investigate and punish officers who allowed children in their units. and i will

never forget one of them saying the young children were. only describing young right now. in the areas that yet that yet despite the testimonies and witness accounts prove the rebels have denied the accusations against from them. we completely deny reports that were used child soldiers and those on frontlines are men of age the law prevents children from being recruited to fight they are still unable to hold a gun. under international law it's considered a war crime to recruit those under the age of eighteen aunts conflict even yemeni law sets eighteen as the minimum age for military service. as yemen suffers from the world's worst humanitarian crisis with unimaginable poverty and famine thousands of children are bearing the brunt of the conflict. so i don't al-jazeera. the number of deaths from

a new outbreak of ebola in the democratic republic of congo continues to rise since it was declared in north kivu province three weeks ago fifty five people have died of the virus sixty nine people are confirmed to be infected charlotte bellus reports. on. an alert for ebola rings out of the streets of binny in the northeastern democratic republic of congo the death toll is rising for three weeks the community has been on alert in this conflict ridden corner of the d.r. see it's hard to control the virus. this disease called a bowl is already close to us so customers are not wearing helmets we were told that it can spread through the sweat of our helmets shared by our customers so we're telling customers not to wear them. in the last two weeks nearly thirteen hundred people have been vaccinated congress national institute for biomedical research is also testing a new drug for a bowl of patients made in the u.s.

asian games medals table since nine hundred eighty two that looks like continuing this year led by a multiple olympic gold medalist as paul race reports. another day another medal for china on my swimming superstar son young his win in the eight hundred meter freestyle made him a double gold medalist at the second asian games in a row. joy it was a nice summer it's really nice it's my first asian games gold medal in the eight hundred metres i'm really happy it's the big games you only have it once every four years it's an opportunity that i have relished all the middles that i've won or the recognition of my hard work and as you can see my level has been stable. but son was unsuccessful in helping china to gold in the men's four by two hundred meter freestyle relay the end his team had to settle for silver behind japan who extended

their own record to sixteen wins in this event. joseph schooling led singapore to bronze. north korea won four gold medals on monday. their first of these games came in the women's weightlifting re song gone victorious in the forty eight kilo category but failing in an attempt to lift one hundred seventeen kilos and break the asian games record three more gold came in weightlifting and wrestling. my on my playing in the football tournament for the very first time they upset asian heavyweights eram to qualify for the knockout rounds at the expense of thailand tottenham some here men scored as south korea beat kurdistan to reach the last sixteen while hosts indonesia fought back from one nil down against hong kong to beat them three one and take the group title paul reece al-jazeera while china way ahead of second place japan in the medal standings south korea are third in

with five gold medals so far these games host indonesia have already better their performance from the last games let's talk now to our correspondent scott hardly who's at the games in jakarta indonesia doing really well in the medals table is that helping to smooth over any organizational concerns people might have there. absolutely know many of the people of jakarta are delighted with the way things have been going there a little bit of stutter steps at the very beginning particular at the opening ceremonies but particularly with five gold medals already they're very very happy now you look at you know around town it's very difficult to go any corner any roundabout not see some kind of signage for the asian games they're very delighted about the way their team has been doing there is a fantastic win in football a monday night against china hong kong so obviously the way their athletes are performing from indonesia obviously is contributing to that that enthusiasm here in

jakarta but also there are new sports where they are doing well weightlifting they've got a gold in that indonesia so that's something that is really kind of buoyed their spirits and also there are other sports that they hadn't really competed in before but now they are and a lot of the people in jakarta and the organizing committee here they're looking at this as a way to show to the world just what they can do this country can do because they want to they say some people they want to apply for the for an olympics bid down the line so they're really trying to show their best best work here and also with their athletes as well and scott was seeing a lot of the headline events that would see the olympics but how important all these games in supporting the less well known in teaching in schools. very important it's this year the first gold medal went to a chinese participant in this is a kind of martial arts a form of martial arts that was the very first gold at these events it is very important because asia is the world's largest continent is very very diverse so you

have a lot of athletes from nations that perform in these sports that come from their nations and the very proud of that so you have really kind of enthusiasm from those national teams who are performing in these these sports from their country but also it kind of breeds enthusiasm across the borders and we were meeting with a malaysian team who's actually performing in an indonesian martial arts form as well they are very enthusiastic and they want to do very well we spoke with an indonesian team who's participating in indian sport and they were very enthusiastic about it obviously it you know it opens it up to a different categories different types of athletes but also it fosters interest in other countries because this is these sports have been around for a very long time some of them and it's also about the culture of that country as well as school these games seemingly and events what a cheese no barriers to taking paul's absolutely

and what i was just talking about you have some of these sports that you know have been around for a very long time so you might not have to be as fit as the chinese swimmer but it really is something that really can kind of grow across different generations and we actually met two that were separated by fifty nine years. many of the competitors in the asian games are some of the most physically conditioned athletes in the world training and competing for years but with the wide range of events at the games it's not always about muscle strength and endurance and in the case of the bridge competition age does not necessarily play a role it's about skill and strategy this is the first year the card game is a sport in the asian games. michael barr bankcard tono is seventy eight years old and is one of the top bridge players in the world and one of the oldest competitors in the games how does he feel about that very proud and. i think i'd choose sports would scan less. than

eight to less so you can play when you're five or you can play when you're one hundred years old this is a team book you depend not on yourself but also in your pod and your. team. sports is a demonstration sport at this year's games and a host indonesian team is taking their practicing very seriously hard to one movie id is only nineteen years old he made it on the team after winning a competition in syria by a very happy and. i say van. they're fired because. good at this game and. so yeah i'm scared of the us have to practice the team will be competing in the game arena about the practice in the offices of the company that distributes the game in indonesia so

feel that even though the east boards bring in younger competitors and interest they don't belong in the asian games unlike when an athlete uses a certain brand of equipment to compete like shoes in basketball rackets in badminton these sports are actually events created by companies to get used to be a sports journalist he's concerned about the technology companies influence. and there's no physical activities involved no running swimming throwing nothing this is more about business and its dangers it's more a technical thing and he develops very fast there are six games in four years it will triple. not all my degree of e-sports in the asian games but they will bring the younger faces to the competitions good news for the organizers as for many of them this will be the first time watching the games got harder al-jazeera jakarta.
