groups and ten years ago at the around this time actually global markets were in a panic because lehman brothers investment banks filed for bankruptcy in the united states this was seen as the trigger point for the global financial crisis the worst of the so a decade later where assessing the recovery in america and in. some parents are spending more time with teens and then when their own kids a boy in germany started a protest against just that i mean we're hiring with more on that conversation text us for the hash tag aging is. here with the news grid live on air and streaming online through you tube facebook live an al-jazeera dot com and the strongest storm so father sia has smashed through the northern part of the philippines what began as a super typhoon one caught yes it lost some of its sting after it landed on loose on the largest island in the philippines but as you say very strong conditions there big waves big winds thousands tens of thousands of people had to flee their
6:02 pm
homes as it slashed to the northern tip of luzon killing to suppose at least twelve people roughly four million people quarter of which lives on a few dollars a day where in the path of its destruction so those are some of the pictures that we've seen of the aftermath. of tyson in here is so it's looking like on the satellite using windy dot com and if i run the animation you're looking at it leaving the top of the philippines there and a roundabout now this is where it is at the moment as you see heading towards over the course of the early hours of sunday hong kong and mainland china let's get this report now it's german island dog and she's reporting for us from the northern philippines problems of. we are in mcgowan one of the areas to person to bear the brunt of the super typhoon this is about an hour from to get out the city but at says is really quite difficult communication and power lines have
6:03 pm
been cut off but on her way here we bumped into a truck of marine officers several have been seriously injured started them being brought to the city in ambulances by volunteers the situation in but go is similar basically all across the region of luzon hours after the typhoon made landfall the government the national government have yet to really assess the full impact of this typhoon that is because many of these areas are in rural areas such as this one we've spoken to civilians who have lost their homes or have lost their livelihood and they know basically that life will set them back even further they already went through something similar two years ago and it's taken them time to recover they say what they want right now is emergency relief help food medicine
6:04 pm
and power but earlier in the day we spoke to richard gordon who is chairman and c.e.o. of the philippines red cross he says that if there are landslides presents another problem blocking the delivery of aid. thirty days here and. the landfall of the storm and. spread to percent of damage the ready and a lot of the almost. a lot of moving up to go system has to be replaced and a lot of lost out of houses have been destroyed totally allowed by ship and of course there will be a nonvoter requirement for. livelihood and in terms of market share of those we will have to be supplied with food in the meantime and we have the pages made here that are to be good the market is going to make it difficult for us to supply. materials. blocked by
6:05 pm
landslides and flooding so i hope that we can. mitigate that right away such typhoon non-code as we saw on the satellite now heading across the south china sea could strengthen again actually as it goes to that water before hitting southern china in around twenty four hours the government there is issued the second highest storm alert ferry services across quandong province have been suspended with heavy rain and huge floods for const over the weekend billboards have even been taken down because they are blown down by the winds which are expected to hit two hundred kilometers an hour. so that is what's happening in the philippines meanwhile hurrican of florence has been downgraded to a tropical storm this is in the united states but there are still concerns of flooding as it moves across the carolinas dumping heavy amounts of rain in some areas have ordered people to leave their homes as the waters rise and more than half
6:06 pm
a million people are without power the storm being blamed for at least seven deaths as well reporting for us from wilmington north carolina it is andy gallagher well it's a lot calmer than it was twenty four hours ago i guess the concern is going to be rising water. it is come all and more to the federal emergency management agency is saying is there and recovery and response mode right now which is sensually means that they were waiting and watching to see what happens over the next forty eight hours but the good thing about that is that the winds have now died down here florence now a tropical storm so they have helicopters and troops on standby they'll stop putting those helicopters up to look for damage to look for rivers possibly cresting but it's really all about the rainfall now as this storm just kind of legacy in is really moving if they get the kind of rainfall of they all predicting and we really haven't had much if there's a fear about mudslides if you're about rivers in line busting their banks and putting communities of risk we have had seven confirmed deaths two here in
6:07 pm
wilmington a mother and her infant child when a tree fell on a house with a stone for the most part as was passed to the river down the street from me at the cape fear river has breached its banks but that hasn't been too bad in this location north of us and the outer banks has been some smaller communities where the have been some rescue efforts that about seven all thousand people in shelters now they're well provided for the right generators running so really this is as the fema and the emergency authorities are talking about just to respond and recovery a kind of wait and see what happens over the next couple days. not to put you at the center of the story and he but i'm interested to know in just for our viewers how you and the crew have been doing your job there or see you go to is a bit of plastic over your microphone then just wondering maybe give our viewers a bit of behind the scenes of how you actually report through all this weather. i mean we're used to doing this we've done lots of these kinds of storms for us too it's about preparation you know we're running power we lost power sometime yesterday morning so running off batteries things like that but really this is
6:08 pm
something that we used to it's not it's not terribly hard for us compared to what the local communities are going through fuel is a problem not just for us but for everybody else you have to stock up on as much fresh water and as much perishables as you can get your hands on and that's similar for people here too so. you know it's it's good to hear didn't really get hit that hard we were actually in the eye of the storm when it made landfall but all those predictions when they were talking at one point about a four meet a high tidal surge which would have swallowed the buildings here behind me that didn't happen at least in wilmington as i said it was the communities north of us that were hit hard but it's a slow motion nature of all this is a slow motion crisis something that's the best way to look at it because they simply don't know how much this tropical storm will will drop rain on these communities in london how badly they'll be affected right so we'll be talking to you more i think in the next couple of days and gallagher thank you for that in no wilmington and if you want to get in touch as if you've ever got a question for one of our correspondents throw them in once you have to go join use

6:11 pm
in the being followed some forty years ago plus come home. for million people are going to the store day of everything is a little more it in the american protesting to the last four years have been the primary cause of the jane they brought to the rotating government under the floor and where in the post to transition to base even introduce a single milestone to what it was to learn the great consolation reconstruction transition to democracy it's the exact in time very special day i think the aroma can really now have a voice i know you've been obviously struggling for that voice for so long do you think there are ten integrates properly into the political process after so many years out of it. yes indeed i think integration is the only way forward now with. the star who has shown that the rules are a vested interest in transition the country democracy in given the country together
6:12 pm
this is the most hopeful time this country has ever since it started and there is a lot of excitement i came back here a month ago. have been is in the. optimism in this country and it is intoxicating and there is a negotiation there is no discussion go on all corners and the rows are showing that they need this country they can lead it they can wage this war struggle they can take power and they can control responsibly they can transition the country to democracy yes almost not only in degree but they will in the unite this country and the other opposition groups as well to do to talk to them to. discuss the future path forward for the opposition. yet. only. now is the only daily all kind obedience there is very slippery.
6:13 pm
road underground coming up there isn't war negotiation there is a national conference to wave the peaceful election in two years yes there is a negotiation there's no look of course not in it but in the beginning. joining us from out a sob about thanks so much for your time do appreciate it. it's clearly an interesting case in africa isn't a progressive looking country in the listening post team look to that only last month the reforms which new prime minister promised and how social media are actually drove a lot of that pushing for the change within the stablish media as well richard has been with that one if you search for ethiopia social media at al-jazeera dot com click the programs filter at the side and look for that from the listening posts
6:14 pm
meanwhile in rwanda president paul kagame has off ordered the release of a jailed opposition leader. who was detained in twenty ten when she opposed in the presidential election she was sentenced to fifteen years behind bars for terrorism charges and twenty thirteen and a better one of more than two thousand prisoners who sentences have not been caught with very little explanation. now the leader of the regional bloc in south america isn't ruling out military intervention to overthrow the venezuela's president this is the oas the organization of american states its secretary general has been speaking to venezuelan migrants in colombia or at least one point five million people have fled venezuela due to political and economic stability putting a lot of strain on resources in neighboring countries. the reports now are from computer on the colombia venezuela border. the secretary general of the oas.
6:15 pm
is wanted by venezuelan migrants and photographers as he tries to make his way through the soon bollywood bridge. migrants shout freedom for venezuela as others to shake his hand and cry for help. we need them to do something anything we need countries to unite to help democracy and food to return to finish. the visit to the colombian border town of kuta is the first stop of a series of meetings in countries across south america strained by the growing exodus of venezuelans a newly formed work group has been tasked to design a more coordinated regional response to this unprecedented mass migration. at a press conference said only restoring the moccasin menace where lakin solve the crisis and that a military intervention can't be ruled out. as for military intervention to overthrow duma dural regime i think that we should not
6:16 pm
rule out any option because the finity of leader nicolas maduro regime is perpetrating crimes against humanity towards its population and violations of human rights the suffering of the people in this in joost exit as it is driving means that the promise the remains the first option but we can't exclude any action. these are asking for financial aid and want the united nations to appoint a special representative to coordinate to the international response almost a million business will answer currently living in colombia but the real number is likely higher as a story to make it more difficult for venezuelans to cross legally new unofficial and often dangerous routes open up as migrants make their way to countries as far as ecuador him to. this is the scene repeating itself day after day here at the border we've been here just ten minutes and we've seen dozens and dozens of
6:17 pm
venezuela migrants trying to cross illegally into colombia many of them carry bags try to smuggle me or scrap metal or truly anything they can sell for real money to continue their journey remember we haven't had anything to eat for four days we bring metal and plastic i don't know how much i will make with this but at least enough for a piece of bread a more structured regional response to the crisis might help struggling receiving countries like colombia but no one believes that unless there is real change in minister that the flood can be stopped at least on the m.p.u. . on skype from caracas now lucas has a political analyst with the news website venezuela analysis dot com nice to see lucas you know the way that the oas secretary general was talking there saying you know we wouldn't rule out an overthrow because i think his words were that madeira was committing crimes against humanity against his own people it leads me to wonder
6:18 pm
is in your opinion the problem is he the difference between venezuela doing well and venezuela not doing well. i think that this kind of discourse coming from the secretary general is very irresponsible especially in light of the failed humanitarian interventions in libya and other countries that have made situation much worse and have contributed massive refugee crises that in a clue i think for the majority of them as well as the problems and but as well are largely economic and political and they want they want whether they voted for mother or not in may and the presidential elections that were held they want the national government to take decisive measures to resolve the crisis which up till now it has yet to take however it's a multi-faceted crisis and there's no doubt that u.s. initiated economic sanctions which are legal and under international law are playing a role in essential waiting this crisis denying the venezuelan government for example one billion dollars in citgo dividends that could be used to
6:19 pm
a military at the migrant migratory crisis and i think that this whole frame your migratory crisis is also slightly deceiving because deceptive in a certain sense that we see the point of the un's migratory authority the number that they put for bennett was living abroad including those who've been living abroad for decades is two point three million this comes obviously contrasts with the figures of four million five million and we take that there are at currently five million colombians living in venezuela who are refugees of the colombian civil war and this is not talked about or receiving all kinds of government social programs in venezuela so if president maduro is as you say he's the leader he is the elected leader if he is to really lead his country out of this crisis what does he need to do what is the first big step which can be taken to improve things were really start to improve things. well i think there is a consensus both you know from the left to the right i'm a condom is that you really need to take decisive action on the foreign exchange system currency controls that have been in place since two thousand and three need
6:20 pm
to be lifted and the currency needs to be allowed to float and until you do that you're not going to be addressed hyperinflation however the problem with doing that is you need to have sufficient worth international reserves to enable that to happen and that is very difficult given the financial sanctions in the country that that prohibit international lending and for him it really goes into existing loans what you know certainly the five billion dollars of the government has received and loans from china just recently will help but there needs to be when there's a be a process of deescalation and the polarization that needs to begin with mr amado and mr trump in washington and an attack and really rolling back these illegal sanctions and giving the economy room to breathe which is the precondition if you want to resolve this economic crisis so who is on venezuela's side there who's on nicolas maduro side because we're talking a lot about the people who aren't in the as you say the ones who are ostensibly making it more difficult for him and then you get the oas saying what it's saying who's on the tourist side. well i think that certainly the the vast majority of
6:21 pm
that is one people you know according to polls want the economy to get better and you know that you know u.s. sanctions are deeply unpopular with over sixty percent of the population opposing them according to a conservative poster that analysis i mean i think there's moto does have a significant bloc of them as one population on his side in opposing these sanctions and trying to take that sort of economic recovery and likewise he does have regional actors like you know certain orewa able media to some extent cuban about our traditional friends but also china that you know are interested and you know ensuring that venezuela does not you know for the collapse into this you know economic dalgard spiral so i think that there definitely is there there is support for there is opposition to these this kinds of kumar in which we've seen in recent assassination attempt certainly is kinds of efforts to overthrow the government by force as we saw in early august are deeply unpopular looks kind of
6:22 pm
joining us from caracas thank you so much for that thanks for having me and. you know i was going to show you something there it's just disconnected i'm going to talk for a little bit and try and reconnect to it something which is actually brand new to al-jazeera dot com this set to day and we got it yes it's took to. zero and we're sure this is all talked out as they were in the field this is when we move away from formal interviews with the big names and talk to the everyday people in this case three venezuelans sharing their hopes and fears for the future i think the most telling quotes i just go down a little bit here is this one someone who said if chavez were alive this would not be happening talked around jazeera it is in the shows section of al-jazeera dot com and then you just click the in the field menu at the top and you come to this one. now if you want to get in touch with us please do have heard from a money loss on facebook he said this is what happens when you become what you hate
6:23 pm
referring to nicolas maduro that i was going to get the thoughts of lucas turner was another interactive someone living at and experiencing it there he got more votes and questions to send through to us the hash tag is a.j. newsprint twitter facebook whatsapp and telegram you can tweet me directly and tomorrow a j b s this is the news good excuse me to be with us on facebook live to hear about see the story of the baby painter in pakistan he's turning buses into us that is my friends and i fuss and then later nasa launches a satellite into orbit to measure the thickness of arctic ice sheets and the tree can a base in the tropics with a look at how it will use lasers from space to monitor climate change. and other remains little to say whether was about this part of the world the new

6:26 pm
6:27 pm
the headlines from al-jazeera dot com and what's trending as well wisely didn't the asians work for untalented to die this is part of our look back after ten years of course. since the start of the global financial crisis and we'll be looking at that more in depth. a little bit later on there's an interesting story number five there a sports story sports story that cricket annoying ali has claimed he was called a sama by an australian player because it is his long beard i have a look at bet anything else that takes your fancy down to zero dot com what's trending this saturday. the two sons of egypt's former president hosni mubarak have been arrested they are now in prison facing charges of insider trading and gamal mubarak along with at least seven other suspects are accused of making unlawful profits after they allegedly broke financial trading rules as relates to
6:28 pm
the sale of a national bank. deny any wrongdoing of course their father hosni ruled egypt from ninety one until the revolution of two thousand and eleven when he was replaced by eventually the democratically elected mohamed morsi we've got without the professor of law at rutgers law school joining us on skype from new york nice to have you with us our i think maybe a little bit of context or background first of all were and what have hosni mubarak's sons been doing in the past two years because they were along with their father in and out of jail eventually cleared if they've been what has been off them . well the timing is not quincy dental because in the last year and a half particularly in the run up to the two thousand and eighteen presidential elections. or seen multiple times in public in ways that made them appear very connected to the people and down to earth and at a time when the economy has been struggling and it's affected many egyptians from
6:29 pm
the upper middle class all the way to the poor because the subsidies are being removed inflation is high wages are stagnant and so many egyptians reminisce and the man to the days of the mubarak era from the economic perspective so when demand i let come out in public and are spotted and it's all over social media this signals to the regime that they may be seeking to get back into the limelight and to political life and if there's one thing that is clear about the failed revolution have two thousand and eleven is that although democracy didn't take root in egypt what did happen is that there was a change in the governance structure the old regime that was within the mubarak's inner circle including his sons is out and the new regime are the younger military officers and their own economic elite and their own former military generals who
6:30 pm
are now becoming very active in the economy so the courage and does not want eilat or mubarak to be in the public limelight or for the people to even be thinking of them as potential political actors. thank you so much for that really well explain to us that joining us from new york today. thank you so i and i'm sure many other people can remember being in our newsroom ten years ago at pretty much this exact moment watching an economic crisis unfold it was the son of a working week and lehman brothers one of the most famous investment banks in the world had filed for bankruptcy and it was at that very point that an already serious banking crisis on wall street got a whole lot worse if you were watching yesterday you would have seen this great graph which i showed you on the greater dose of the benchmark dow jones industrial average index it's from two thousand and seven to two thousand and nine basically that dow jones wall street so that's where we are that's the ten years ago
6:31 pm
september the fifteenth and i'm going to highlight a couple of other points for you as well just so you can see how fast the decline was ten years ago the market was at eleven thousand three hundred and eighty eight points in just three weeks by october the sixth we were looking at eight thousand four hundred and fifty one and then down here these really dark days the market hit a low of six thousand six hundred and twenty six points all of that happened in just six months the market lost almost half its value and they were dark dark days but remember this became a global crisis and it's worth remembering how far all that bad news spread is start with greece which only just talking a month or so ago got out of austerity mode after ten years of hardship greece took three bailouts totaling three hundred fifty two billion dollars from the e.u. and the international money monetary fund since twenty ten cyprus fell because of its large exposure to greek debt it got a thirteen billion dollar bailout but in
6:32 pm
a controversial and unprecedented move everybody with money deposited in a cypriot bank was made to pay for the bailout arland one of the first european countries to enter recession and then an economic depression in two thousand and nine thirty four and a half thousand people left ireland by twenty eight in which the largest net immigration they had seen since one thousand nine hundred nine over the water in the u.k. there was the worst recession since one nine hundred eighty the big. casualty northern rock which is the fifth largest lender because of the mortgage crisis it went on and then there was the curious case of iceland where in two thousand and eight the banking system was no longer trusted inflation and interest rates rose that was so bad the icelandic national currency the krona was worth not a lot more than the zimbabwean dollar which was barely heard anything the difference in iceland though is the banks were left to fail. a country not on that list though is germany a robust strong european economy which managed to steer clear of trouble but there are those who accuse germany of being too strong certainly in its financial decision making which they say helped wreck the greek economy in the end the list
6:33 pm
bailouts lawrence reports from berlin on how that stance is being viewed a decade later. in the corridors of power in berlin there are reasons to be cheerful ten years ago the german economy was so well insulated that the big crash was never going to cause a crisis so much has changed in other european countries but not here in the first six months of this year alone the german economy run a budget surplus of over fifty billion dollars that's almost three percent of germany's gross domestic product or annual wealth it's the kind of figure that makes other countries either extremely jealous or absolutely furious it was the german government that demanded after the banks started to fall that the european commission impose new rules on countries like greece forcing them to adopt a hugely destructive tax raising powers in return for bailouts and loans a decade on stagnant economy is in huge unemployment levels of what's left the proceeds went to the banks not the people many economists hold germany directly
6:34 pm
responsible for bankrupting greece it is very anti democratic approach that is something that gives assurance to general politicians that there are rules and that they can be here too and that things will work out that and i think that kind of comfort is illusion it is defense germany would argue that if other countries have behaved in the right way in the first place then there wouldn't have been a problem most of the political class here bears few regrets about driving policies which proved so controversial no absolutely not i think that was the only way the fact that we are successful in all these countries shows that this was the right way and it's like in the it's like in the private sphere. if you don't half debt you are a free man and if you have have debt you have to listen to
6:35 pm
the persons who gave you the money. the one area which germany has suffered from. in recent years has been the rise of far right populism partly from economics in poor areas but also from anger toward chancellor merkel's generous asylum policies for refugees this week though the german government announced it was devoting billions of euros to tackle long term unemployment a certain way of diffusing anger germany is able to make these choices in ways others can only dream about lawrence li al jazeera ballin. with us now from new york jeff madrick he's the director of the rediscovering government initiative at the century foundation also the author of the book age of greed jeff nice to have you with us on this or specious anniversary show we said just on the issue of europe and germany as you were hearing about in that report looking back do you think that germany was too harsh with its demands on a country like greece or did it take the action that was that was needed at the
6:36 pm
time that sort of prudent action that would have been needed. i'm glad you asked me that question they were unquestionably too harsh their view of international economics and their own economics is quite backward actually the idea that government should always be in surplus that they should have as little debt as possible is unrealistic and merciless frankly the proper action that should have been taken was debt forgiveness in this period that's how the world works when we didn't forgive those debts of those people suffered badly and it took a long time for them to recover a more sensible policy helping greece would have enabled them to rise more rapidly pay and pay back their debts and let me remind you of this they talk heartily about how people have to pay back their debts the german banks were lending to greece and
6:37 pm
other smaller and slow growth countries they made enormous profits you use the word recover in there and we are ten years on in the lot of countries economies businesses have recovered greece only just coming out of the austerity to be fair a recovery is only worthwhile if you learn from the lessons and that's what i want to know what you think have we learned from the lessons if they were to be the same sort of pressures on the banking system that we saw ten years ago have the lessons been learned. they have the lessons have not been entirely learned some lessons have been learned we had a bill here a broad piece of legislation as you well know called dodd frank which did reregulate much of the banking sector we are turning back on some of those regulations one of the bigger problems however is regulations of the non bag banks sectors the so-called shadow banking community which includes insurance companies
6:38 pm
hedge funds investment managers they are now making the sorts of loans that the banks made that led to the crisis and they are by and large unregulated the two great causes of the crisis were wanton reckless irresponsible lending on the part of what we thought were conservative banks especially to buy mortgages and irresponsible a lack of regulation on the part of washington which had to do a lot to do with an intelligent analysis of how economies work undue faith and free markets to settle all problems fairly jeff madrick joining us from new york on this tenth anniversary of the collapse of lehman thank you so much jeff. here is leah now so i'm just thinking ten years ago social media wasn't quite what it is now now twitter was only two years old and you know twitter
6:39 pm
so what if you managed to dig up i guess from that wall for starters the beginning of the global market crash it was followed by anger and protests and we saw that happening all over the world. we first saw major reaction to the crash a few years after the two thousand and eight downturn with the surge of the occupy wall street protests thousands were protesting in major cities across the u.s. calling for transparency and for change and having the top one percent having all of the wealth and control we're seeing similar protests today with the hash tag ten years. people in front of the bank of england in london just a few hours ago were chanting the banks were bailed out we were sold out others are using the hash tag change finance to organize similar protests in cities across europe the united states and even in their union islands in the middle of the
6:40 pm
indian ocean change finance dot org says it's calling out people to stand up against politicians and set of sleepwalking into what they say could be another financial crisis part of their campaign tracks where protests are happening and how people can join in they also give protesters ideas like creating twitter storms online even blowing bubbles in front of banks and wrapping crime scene tape around banks whatever works right for those affected by the economic collapse though the anniversary is a painful reminder of what happened but for some former lehman brothers staff it's a chance to party a letter leaks last month revealed bankers were getting together in london to mark with cocktails a decade since the collapse the letter addressed to lehman brothers and. sisters invited a lot of the company to a private party which by the british labor party was criticized as sane criticize it saying that it was disgraceful now the financial crisis was caused by
6:41 pm
bad deals but it also gave birth to some good deals ones that literally stuck around for years. the subway five dollars but long deal started as a way to help customers impacted by the crash and within two weeks they drove sales up to twenty five percent ten years later and subway is only just now saying the deal is coming to an end though the deal might not be around anymore i can assure you the song will be second your head for the rest of the day. makes me want to subway sandwich. to be interesting to look back at an article like this from al jazeera dot com which was published exactly ten years ago it was the views of a number of financial analysts on what it all meant remembering we were right in the middle of all the tales that time you know there's no benefit of hindsight one of them we would sit here and for the down i like this i think the impact is going

a number of years that the global average temperature is rising the four hottest years on record have been the last four and the constant reliance on fossil fuels for energy means levels of greenhouse gases continue to mount but the u.s. administration and the president donald trump seems intent on slashing projects that aim to study and curb climate change the i said to mission should last three years but has enough fuel to continue for ten if the mission manages decide to extend its life but that will depend not on the scientists but some politicians morgan al-jazeera. well someone else is trying to launch a satellite in california it's none other than the governor himself in california was something so under attack attack by a lot of people clearing donald trump but the climate threat still keeps growing so we want to know what they're going on all over the world all the time so we're

going to launch our own satellite our own damn satellite to figure out where the pollution is and how we're going to end it brown is also known as the governor moonbeam and he's teaming up with planet labs a company that specializes in satellite imaging to track emissions linked to climate change here their satellite documented deforestation by a by force in the amazon because of a farm that was being built and in bolivia the rise in sugarcane production has been a major reason for more trees to get cut down now the governor warned that if trump cut funding for satellites collecting data on the climate then california would launch its own but the reaction to the announcement has been mixed some people like theresa here say that money should be used to help people rather than throwing it in satellites and trains to nowhere she says others like mark are asking the governor whether the satellite will be launched using green energy but the question mark but governor brown's vision is not limited to space our colleagues at a.j.

leader tell me my flaws i did write that along with the go well we don't have enough time. but we can do that on another episode usually parents tell their kids to get off their phones but some kids are just flipping those roles and germany turned into a protest led by kids. seven year old. started the movement after saying his dad just spent too much time with this gadget the slogan play with me not your phone meals dad said he realized he was paying more attention to his phone when then his kids were in emil told him to put his phone down to enjoy a moment with simply it's now a meal was on to something bigger because other kids feel the same way sometimes we're looking at them for new. like. is still annoying sometimes you go running out of my money. just like yeah yeah

your phone you can download an app called moment come all told me about it a few weeks ago and the results are actually pretty shocking here's my report from the last few days it didn't do too hot on friday but if you're in denial about your cell phone addiction this will surely snap you out of it let us know what you think of your phone obsession especially if you have kids are hash tag ironically if you're going to use your phone is a genius good so that's the conundrum right we're going to ask you to get in touch with us using something at whatsapp with twitter which you need for actually that moment app. i deleted it because it got so annoying telling me how much time to spend on my phone it is a conundrum but it is important i think to raise the point that while we're worrying so much about how much i kids are using them we're probably using them way too much he says with a phone and an i pad and a computer all in front of him that number plus one seven four five a one triple one four nine if you want to get in touch with us and tell us about how much you're using your phone ok we're talking sports now with a touch on a boxing and you've got a big just coming up today as well as big fight in the big game he began there's
6:53 pm
been a lot of drama surrounding it to the drama has continued between getting an eagle off going in canelo alvarez ahead of the well title fight later on saturday with the two having to be separated at the weigh in on friday night more insults have been thrown between the pair and have much anticipated about the fight is going to be the second between the two they passed without a draw a one year ago this three match however was meant to happen in may pick another failed two drugs test blaming it on eating contaminated meat. we're mostly when i. look i got excited from seeing all the fans that motivated me to do that right now i defeated him at the weight and now it's time to defeat him on saturday so i saw he's like that glow when he's not actually going. well i'm pleased to be joined by former light welterweight while champion an economy out in the you can i thank you very much for joining us on the news great year for can i live for how could i say and what does he need to do to be cut off can't work out if this law
6:54 pm
has been going on about canelo mean obviously you got caught with taking crime bhutto he says he was in the meat he ate above the level of being a fighter you know he never you want the food you want you political to right butcher to get the suit and everything in the right shops so i don't really believe that it was from the meat he just has to pull the if and then obviously in this fight way i see it big differences you can see the size difference canelo carollo is not a big not just because you know me is he's a lot more leena he's a lot more. in there than he used to be not a state so you know you don't lift up maybe was something he was taking for a long long time now what a fight you is off taking any such sort of substance like steroids the way mentally when thus taken away from you actually meant to just going to play a very big part in the game because you can have the same power is going to the same strength is going to be a scary and strongly usually usually is so this is what's going to tell us
6:55 pm
a little bit going to article of. two champion for the best that beat the best not to have one of the law you have a limb pick champion himself and i just think you might have the number for the spy again even though the first fight was very close i just in this fight i could see a lot of king knocking out canelo because maybe he is off all those substances and there's been a lot of drama to say the least ahead of the fight how important is it to get that psychological edge i have your opponent at the weigh in. i think it's very important both both times because why why why it's good to promote this fighting but the drama that's going on i think it core promotes despite it makes a fight even bigger then it was because people like you know i was boxing funny like drama before the fight because you know then if i can be really exciting. but you know i think bullfight is are so experienced sometimes
6:56 pm
a psychological model of the market or they know they train hard to not be going to be free and strong and they know they're going to go in the ring and give it their best so really all these little games that they're playing i don't think is going to make a difference in the fight and i admire what can we expect from him a whether said earlier on today he wants to fight again is contrast as mayweather a fight that you want i would look to fight no matter with obviously the fight been chasing for a long long time and i never seem to happen but you know there's a lot talk to look upon and that is the likes of floyd mayweather now he wants to come back then you got money back out there is talk of me and my new park you know fighting for a long long time fight could be possible and also tell brooke a guy from u.k. you know who's in the same weight division which will be a must see finding someone at wembley stadium so i have a few big options i know the next fight has to be a big fight i don't want it to be a big fight and so whoever is at the three i think is all so skinny musses
6:57 pm
