well again tokyo celebrates its one hundred fiftieth anniversary this year as the capital of japan for me not as it oh it was read a md in eight hundred sixty eight during the meiji restoration which marked the beginning of rapid modernization and a studio in tokyo we met one photographer hoping to bring the past to life by using

a photographer using photography from the dates back more than one hundred fifty years is tother he don't want oh i'm a photographer. so i think of my studio as a theme park where you can travel back in time i want to show everyone this is what it looked like back then. come into camera lovers come here to see the origin of photography others come looking for something different from digital for us. in london this is the second oldest photographic technique in the world in dates back to the eight hundred fifty s. . it's what people used before film and it came here in the eight hundred sixty s. . i just bought the cameras decoration but had examined and repaired. that made me want to shoot with it. but it's so exciting and. committed this is more of a machine than

a camera i can actually put it to work. this method uses collodion solution which takes a month to prepare. a board on the glass plate soak it in silver nitrate solution in about five minutes the plate becomes the. film all. the models have to freeze for six seconds using a supporting device to keep your head still. they need to shoot and develop it right away before it dries everything has to be done while the play is still wet you have to be fast like is a part of this method too you might get spots on the photo and people prefer the look of imperfection because you can never recreate it. almost japan's wet plate photographs appear more rustic compared to other countries that's the look i'm trying to revive. a lot of young people come here the old method has a fresh appeal to them and many people bring really unique outfits like the ancient

armor others come to celebrate weddings with one of a kind photography they're looking for something to treasure. and they say wow that looks like my grandfather that looks like my grandmother my ancestors that's the impression they get it isn't yourself that you see. this in the could this technique existed in the past and i don't want to let it disappear again. time to support his task. thank you very much the asian games is the second largest multi-sport event in the wild as if the games and with its closing ceremony into katar on sunday host indonesia has already turned its attention to launching a bid for the olympics in twenty thirty two. with the ceremony described as a tribute to the athletes the two thousand eight hundred asian games drew to a close after sixteen days of more than forty competitions as expected team china

takes home the most gold at one hundred and thirty two and most overall medals a two hundred eighty nine japan won the last gold of the games in the mixed triathlon and came in second in gold and overall medals south korea came in third. team indonesia came in a surprising fourth hoping for sixteen gold medals the final tally was almost double that at thirty one but the pride here also coming from how the games were organized and presented. and i feel like we are now very trusted by the outside world we have been very successful we are ready to host the olympics as a nation we are becoming more advanced encouraged by the record breaking performance of team indonesia on the pitch the mood of the people here has been growing steadily more enthusiastic throughout the sixteen days of the games culminating here at the closing ceremony despite the rainfall the man who led the team to put on the games says streamlining was the key we really got

a lot of. help. being that we were very we need. to have a bigger games because all the news that we be a lot of. people has been at they we cannot stop now. and a day before the asian games came to a close he showed that they were not stopping officially announcing their bid for the twenty thirty two olympics a journalist who covers multi-sport events sees this year's games proof. indonesia can be an international host country but the olympics are a long shot i think specifically with with indonesia there is a couple problems that wall seriously hamper any potential bid indonesians don't come to anything that's not badminton that war that is a serious issue the traffic is a serious issue the venues while good for an asian games would almost assuredly need a lot of renovation and

a lot of work another issue the high price and difficulty getting tickets to the big events the dawn how the connection if you don't know the right people. i don't think you'd be able to get that they could afford the marquee event but even with those challenges indonesia as this year's asian games host is mostly viewed as a success both on and off the pitch the games and torch are now in china's court host for the twenty twenty two asian games it's got other al-jazeera to partner. manchester united have returned to winning ways thanks to a ten l. when i was a burnley in the english premier league on sunday and striker remember lucaya hit the back of the net twice before half time to ensure the win for joe as a marine is man the only blemish was a second half red card to marcus rash hit a marine you know how to go some of the journalist post match. i am innocent some of you must be disappointed. because will be will be much better and.

apart from that we did much it on in this game too out and that is over the ball for now more later. once plentiful in new york city was as they were then they virtually disappeared but now scientists helping them make a comeback kristen salumi reports. long before lady liberty graced new york harbor its waters teamed with oysters sustaining generations of native american cabbage out in the water scientists along with volunteers are now attempting to return new york's waterways to their former glory as part of the billion oyster project. it was tough to navigate the waters because there are over two hundred twenty thousand acres so this is a project that is native to new york the story. this site in brooklyn is one of eleven where the project is attempting to recreate reefs with shells collected from local restaurants and baby oysters some from farms on the east coast others grown

at a local school with the help of students by nineteen zero six new yorkers had every last oyster their reefs had been dredged up or covered in silt and the water quality was too poor for their regeneration it stayed that way until one thousand nine hundred seventy two the passage of the clean water act which prohibited dumping sewage and waste into the harbor even now the waters aren't clean enough to eat what lives there but he always to reach have huge benefits for the local ecosystem. a little superhero a very tiny about they pack a punch and they really they provide such habitat for in the biodiversity of new york harbor nicholas jacobson helped make the metal cages that create the reefs and volunteered to help place them in the water the oysters slide in like a file cabinet so in the city there's not many options to really connect with nature it's mostly concrete and steel. but this really gives an opportunity within

the city to kind of connect with nature and. i guess just give back to the environment because we do take a lot and when it comes to the health of new york's waterways cultivating that connection may be just as important as cultivating oysters christian salumi al-jazeera brooklyn new york. for the day's top stories just about us here get a life of. travel often. by tranquil board use and cool forests near prague libel. walks of knowledge. by icons landmarks valleys and scotland's. live for adventure. discover good jobs because far away places closer to going since together with cats are always. september on al-jazeera the fourth eastern economic forum

doha also coming up an alliance led by. other outside the joins hands with other groups to form a majority bloc in iraq's parliament also causing me to give its judgment on two reuters journalists accused of illegally possessing secret documents. the u.n. says refugees crossing the mediterranean are dying at the highest rate ever with over sixteen hundred deaths this. welcome to the program a state of emergency has been declared by the u.n. backed government in libya after five days of fighting in the capital least forty one people have been killed. the violence more than one hundred others injured several groups are battling for territory near tripoli's only functioning airport on the outskirts of the city forces backed by the government of national accord have lost several strategic locations to

a breakaway faction about four hundred inmates of a skate from a prison as fighting raged nearby the united nations is calling on all sides to abide by a previously agreed cease fire deal many of the casualties have been civilians hit by shelling the one he went to the site of one of the attacks. this is part of the market that killed it to the top lines since the beginning of the clashes that broke out a week ago. many civilians were killed by a random rockets as the minister. says as the family members tell us here they're ok but it landed here and killed but there are talks arms and you can also see you know their. remains. exclusion here on this one. whole. team that the market was the explosion was very strong that was hard to watch here was also destroyed

by the explosion which. is a state of panic among civilians especially with rich random rockets play rockets landing in densely populated areas and it seems that the government of national moment is not a strong enough to put in this conflict people here and so many people in tripoli. blaming the government for not doing enough to stop this conflict. well libya has been divided since the fall of moammar gadhafi in two thousand and eleven the country was left with two separate governing bodies in different locations both claim control over the entire country and the backed by armed groups broke in the east is where the house of representatives is based it has links to powerful warlord and former army general khalifa haftar large sections of the military which

operated under gadhafi are loyal to him in the west is the capital tripoli and the government of national accord the g m a it's recognized by the un as libya's official government but it's tripoli where the problems are and the d.n.a. seems to be losing control internal fighting between two previously allied factions has shrunk the government's area of control to central tripoli a breakaway group controls the airport as well as the military camps along the entry road other forces allied to the g.n.a.t. have moved to as easier to the south claudia me is a senior libyan analyst at the international crisis group she says the ongoing violence is the product of growing anger against the tripoli based groups. one thing that has been building up over the past few months is this resentment by the communities outside tripoli so the main cities in this case are mr.

resentment from these communities and their armed groups for their absence from the capital and they say that the armed groups in the capital which are tripoli based armed groups commanded by people who are from tripoli that these groups and their leaders actually control this state and the greater accusation that has been made is that these armed groups are tapping into the state resources and actually calling the shots of what the internationally recognized governments do does so these i'm groups from outside tripoli want to move into the capital they say to get rid of these tripoli armed groups that are dictating the agenda in the capital and on the government they say to end this predation that they are carrying out of the state resources and said create a restart of the political roadmap but of course you know these armed groups are very loosely associated with one another they're from different political

orientations the group into one eye has elements from the old gadhafi regime military in the you know armed group from misrata is an islamist leaning armed group and there's no coherent strategy that that they share except for wanting to move into the capital the only power that this government has is first of all dictated by its international recognition so the power that it has in part is linked to the fact that the u.n. security council supports it and key west key countries u.s. u.k. france italy recognize it and have been supporting it throughout these past three years but in terms of power on the ground there are only backers. groups from trip . that i mentioned earlier and few others from western libya they do not control of the country and there has been growing frustration towards internationally recognized government for its inability to to change the dynamics on the ground it

has been you know it's supposed to be a unity government officiates called the government of national accord because it stemmed out of a political negotiation process that was supposed to unify the country but it has been unable to bring together a political unification or military unification it has been unable to improve economic living conditions. i mean more court will soon deliver its verdict on two reuters journalists accused of possessing secret state documents war loan and who could face up to fourteen years in prison if found guilty they were arrested in december while investigating the massacre of ten ringler boys and men in rakhine state the journalists deny the charges they say the police gave the papers to them to frame them when he was the very latest force our correspondent in bangkok in neighboring thailand and wayne we saw weeks perspective it really and yet one of many delays in delivering this particular verdict to me what chances are there of

a decision today because these two judgment of just got into the court. yes that's right they have arrived now as they did at this time we could go to hear that verdict being read out expecting that to begin in a few moments and if we go back to monday last week that was exactly the same scenario they arrived to hear that verdict only to be told that it could not take place on that day because the judge who is overseeing this trial from its start in january was too unwell to read the verdict so they had to go back to jail for a week which must of cause them even greater psychological trauma really knowing that they had to wait a week to hear this verdict being read out there was some speculation that perhaps the judge was and well perhaps this was a political move given that on monday the same day the verdict was supposed to be read out the united nations human rights council delivered that scathing report

into the reading your situation into the government and the military's role in the rohingya crisis and calling for military leaders in myanmar to be brought to justice to face charges of genocide for the events that have unfolded in rakhine state and if the papers were part of a set up these two gentlemen were just investigating the alleged mass murder one wonders what they're going to be found guilty of. yes well officially they are charged with breaching the state secrets act and you mention the papers that is what the prosecution has really centered its entire case around these apparently top secret documents that the reuters pair were found in position or when they were arrested just outside yangon on the outskirts of the city in december last year these documents these papers according to the police and the prosecution were extremely dangerous or could have been if they found their way into the hands of

terrorists they could have threatened national security and that's why they've been charged but the. loans say that they were given those documents by the very police who just a few moments later arrested them after they went to meet the police in a restaurant and they also said that in the days after their wrists the questioning the investigation from the police really centered on their investigation the reuters investigation into the ring message here that had taken place in rakhine state and didn't center on the documents and one would imagine that if they were really concerned about these documents if indeed the reuters pair were in position of these apparently top secret documents then the police questioning would subsequently be mainly about those documents and how they came to be in the position of them but that wasn't the case according to the reuters peer so really the prosecution has delivered very little in the way of credible evidence that

could warrant the detention of this pier let alone the conviction we'll leave it there for the moment where the calls come back to you want to go to decision one way or the other thanks very much billy four months after iraq's disputed parliamentary elections significant progress has been made in the formation of a government. eleven political groups have agreed to form an alliance making up the largest bloc in parliament iraq's election was held in may but a manual recount slowed the government formation process parliament will convene on monday if they speak the process of forming the government will begin. the eleven groups include those loyal to nationalists without the other whose bloc won the most votes in the election prime minister hydrilla banty's block is also in the coalition one hundred seventy seven legislators are involved meaning they need just three more for majority their main opponents looks to be how the. alliance which includes many pro it reigning in former paramilitary fighters they secured forty

eight seats in the election but count that but can't the chemicals pardon me all seventy two votes through an alliance with the former prime minister nuri al maliki the two blocs will control more than two thirds of the three hundred twenty nine seats in parliament not a house for me is director of the middle east studies at the university of denver he says the stakes are high with the new alliance but iraq has a lot to be positive about. this is a coalition government that is the most inclusive and i would say representative iraqi government since the two thousand and three american invasion it includes both iraqi shia sunni and members of their various religious minorities and once positive about that development is it marks a transition from previous iraqi governments that were very sectarian based most of the key players have

a nationalist political agenda that is geared toward developing iraq for all iraqi citizens not catering to the at ethnic or sectarian.
