6:02 pm
country we've got the russian president vladimir putin hosting reject tayyip erdogan of turkey this monday and while it was all pleasant handshakes in front of the cameras a few hours ago these two men are opposed when it comes to what happens next in syria russia is of course syria's ally it swung the war in favor of damascus and the expectation is russian and syrian forces will try to take back the province of idlib from the rebels in the near future but then you've got turkey the front line for syrian refugees and with three million people now living in italy turkey is worried about a potential spillover effects now we're waiting for a news conference from the two leaders but in the meantime we'll talk to stephanie decker's covering events actually that's it they brought behind you isn't it stephanie this is this is the front line and whatever president and president putin come up with is going to affect those people right behind you. that's right i mean this is at mit which is the biggest camp for the internally
6:03 pm
displaced right along turkey's border as you can see that's the division line you have them crammed into the right on the left that's turkey and those borders are going to stay shut come all according to the government here and the aid agencies they do not want any more syrians are here as you mentioned already hosting over three million refugees or the plan is to to help them to provide safety to provide tents also tree are centers because because of course if the military offensive starts there are expected to be large numbers of civilian casualties because these rebel groups also within the densely populated cities and other areas that is something that everyone is trying to avoid particularly turkey as you said because it will shoulder the responsibility it will have what it says are hundreds of thousands of people coming to these borders and what president to un wants is more time why because the turks have the very difficult task of negotiating with the rebel groups inside there are many there's tens of thousands of fighters but the main issues are those that are being called terrorist organizations particularly
6:04 pm
high at the title shot you know with allegedly to al qaeda they have to put down their weapons or merge into other groups at the moment that is proving difficult so this is what they are negotiating part of what the negotiating for sure but it is very very difficult ok stephanie thank you we'll leave it there for now come back later on hopefully once we've heard from these two leaders also in moscow for us it's rory challenge covering events on the russian side hi rick i'm right in saying president putin's basically in the in the driver's seat here and it comes stephanie was saying president wants to buy time president putin is just like well we've said we're going to go in at some point we're in charge here effectively. well i mean we have been talking about this impending offensive for at least two weeks now saying that it was hours if not days away and it hasn't happened yet there is one very good reason why hasn't happened yet and that is turkey so i think
6:05 pm
if we're trying to work out who is in the driver's seat at the moment if your sitting looking at it from a russian perspective and you have been wanting to get on with this offensive for some time now then you perhaps might think the other one who is in the driving seat is the one who has basically held this offensive up with his objections to it he's basically been saying for weeks now that will not really tolerate a full blooded offensive he thinks that this will lead to a significant worsening of the humanitarian situation in libya is pretty much right to say so and of course that would then spillover across the borders into turkey and that's that situation could be handled in any other way and turkey already has more than three million refugees inside his borders he says that's enough he doesn't need any more so essentially what he has been doing over the last few
6:06 pm
weeks as steph was saying there is trying to buy more time and ease may ease done that really so we're going to have to wait and see in this press conference where we're waiting for the moment whether vladimir putin is still going to give him more time and what the turkish red lines mean for this offensive and what form it's going to take because something else that the turkish have been asking for is basically a kind of dialing down of the intensity of whatever comes perhaps giving the turkish some sort of role in the military operation. basically meaning that it's more along. except of all boundaries of what is going to take place unless of the kind of full blooded assaults this damascus would want and russia seems a few days a few weeks ago to be poised to do as well or at rory thanks for now we'll talk to
6:07 pm
you again later as well reminder we're waiting for a news conference from sochi the flags in place the podiums in the microphones in now as well as soon as president putin and president come into that room we will hear from them in sochi in the meantime we'll go to london and talk to fight he had regular contributor he has the from the take the project at chatham house not to have you with us you will have heard what both of our correspondents they just want to expand i guess on some of that first of all president position haiti as our correspondents it has to buy time because it's not going to change president putin's mind busy i don't think that president putin will stop any medical offensive by asset forces against the last major stronghold in syria left judy for the syrian opposition groups putin is adamant that the
6:08 pm
that russia and and asset forces will in their words clear out the opposition from the last major stronghold in syria so what can he do a president on i'm talking about here you know we've made the point that it will be turkey that will have to shoulder all the burden if something happens and. i just try to imagine him going into this meeting and what he can actually get out of president reason. i think that president arizona's trying to convince president putin to stop or at least to delay any major military offensive. by assad forces again live however i don't think that he that perhaps he can delay it but not stop it at the same time also turkey turkey's economy is in a very very bad shape at the moment and the last thing that turkey wants is hundreds of thousands of syrian refugees crossing the border into turkey do you think the two countries can maintain
6:09 pm
a relationship as i said before they met here and it all looks nice for the cameras when they shake hands and that the biggest play is in syria but can the relationship really survive when they are just at such. you know loggerheads over this coming from such opposite positions. if russia and with. the asset forces do carry out a full scale offensive in italy and i think that the it's likely that the relationship between turkey and russia will be strained but what helps russia is the fact that also turkey does not have good relations with washington at the moment good relations with europe and another as it does turkey enjoy good relations with many of the neighboring arab countries so present their dawn at the moment is in a very very difficult and challenging position and i suspect that president putin is taking full advantage of the fact do you think it changes just to look internally at turkey does it change president position there he is
6:10 pm
a very strong leader he does have a lot of public support does his position over. syria can it be affected if he doesn't sort of stand up enough to or isn't perceived to be standing up enough to president. i think that foreign policy does not play a major role a monk in the calculations of turkish voters the number one issue for turkish voters is the state of the economy and at the moment we are seeing it deteriorate of the state of the economy the turkish lira now is again under pressure despite the radical raising of interest rates last week so the key concern for turkish voters will still be will be the economy rather than at the rather the situation in syria ok then thirty how kurds joining us from london is from chatham house talking turkey then thank you couple more things i want to show you at al-jazeera dot com one a recent edition of inside story actually it's hosted by hashanah this was just off

6:12 pm
won't be allowing it to happen and that is an interesting point as well as we talk so much about russia and syria and russia and turkey and iran as well but there are other players involved in syria that number there plus one seven four five or one triple one four nine if you want to message just directly on either whatsapp or telegram otherwise use the hashtag a.j. news grid on twitter and on facebook so yes as i say we'll come to that news conference when it starts but we'll move on just for now and rescue teams in the northern philippines that desperately digging through mounds of mud just in the hope of finding survivors from a landslide it hit a mining area and it's gone province burying a sleeping quarters where many locals at least forty we think had been sheltering from typhoon monkhood the storm of course ripped through the philippines on saturday killing more than fifty people and with heavy rain continuing others are still missing but this report now from with a landslide hit in its own. they thought the mountain was
6:13 pm
indestructible but the force of nature proved too great more than fourteen miners took shelter from the storm in a bunk house built into the hillside these thought they were safe but the landslide triggered by super could bury to forty feet deep this is the town in big province it bore the brunt of the storm's power the devastation is so widespread the full scale of the damage is not the node. it's for news about her nephew twenty eight year old again told them he would be home but he never arrived a little. oh my go up sit in an intimate way perhaps this is what god intended can we contradict what god has planned for us nobody wanted this to happen this was an accident what the local government is trying to do here is to expedite the process
6:14 pm
of rescue and retrieve all operations the backhoes here have been working all day trying to clear the road and vision pave the way for a speedy or process or rescue and read feeble operations they are also set up a temporary emergency and rescue center here there is a board over there that has the list of those who have been missing. rescuers say the chances of finding survivors are slim but they are doing everything they can bringing down machines to this site is extremely difficult so volunteers had to dig through the rubble with their bare hands process that is expected to last many days . in. the number one. because we are dealing with just one bodies but in this case seventy bodies. more bodies are brought in from the bite and cripple families searching for
6:15 pm
missing loved ones did this i was called in and asked to identify one. or the other side. she glanced quickly and looked the way it was the body of a cane her missing nephew in search of a better life many filipinos climbed these mountains hoping to find gold some were lucky but others have paid the ultimate price. dugan al-jazeera each province northern philippines meanwhile a massive cleanup operation underway in hong kong as well and parts of southern china after mongered tore through there on sunday hundreds of trees uprooted in hong kong well that is causing real problems as you can imagine for people just trying to get around the city and almost a thousand flights from the airport were affected this still working through the backlog in china's quandong province also they're still trying to assess the damage
6:16 pm
scott hyla has more on that. the world's strongest storm of the year typhoon man could made landfall in china's mainland on sunday night it weakened as it reached gone down province in the south one of the world's most densely populated regions home to one hundred million people this after a near direct hit on hong kong and macau lashing the islands with high winds waves and flooding. thousands of people were without power either knocked out by the storm or shut down for safety reasons in china two point four million people had to be evacuated from their home hundreds of flights were canceled the high speed train service was suspended and thousands of fishing boats headed back to port once the wind and the rain died down the cleanup started on monday with flooding fallen trees and debris to be cleared. and after safety checks were carried out road rail and air services lowly began to start operating again on the mainland the storm's
6:17 pm
expected to continue moving west towards northern vietnam scott hyder al jazeera beijing and let's not forget tropical depression florence lingering over states on the u.s. east coast death toll there now seventeen wind speeds have slowed but the heavy rain goes on rising floodwaters of color the whole city of wilmington actually one hundred twenty thousand people live there food and water will be airlifted in but locals will have to wait for the floods to recede christine salome's in north carolina she was on the road to wilmington and stopped. riegelwood i believe that's as far as you can get. as far as we could get them all you can see behind me the road is blocked off it's the same situation on all of the roads into wilmington at this time flooded roadways and rising rivers are still a problem across the state as are power outages a half million people statewide without power but the situation is particularly
6:18 pm
dire in wilmington because of it being cut off we've just heard about lines for food forming outside of restaurants outside of stores and you know people are very eager to get back in and assess the damages on their homes but state officials are warning them not to try to go back right now because the situation is still very tenuous and very. cause for concern the waters are rising all along the cape fear river which dumps out right next to wilmington so even one hundred sixty kilometers upstream they're having issues as well people were evacuated along the cape fear river. because of those concerns because the floodwaters still haven't peeped yet and i should also mention that the government has resources put in place to try to help deal with the situation is particularly here in wilmington if things get really bad they've got two navy ships positioned right off the coast with helicopters and rescue boats prepared supplies like
6:19 pm
generators marines and sailors ready to go in and do rescues if necessary so it's a tenuous situation but one that's been very closely watched by state officials and elsewhere in the state you know it's remarkable kemal at this point the storm is affecting six states at this point north carolina south carolina of course getting the worst of it but that's just how big this system is and as it continues to pour rain elsewhere that rain is flooding down the cape fear river and other tributaries and causing problems even in places where the rain has stopped in the winds have stopped so it's very very tenuous situation broadly speaking no sign of the rain really easing up on me not spoken to you three times in the past three days at this time and you've been out in the rain every time. yeah absolutely the forecast is still cloudy and rainy for the next couple of days
6:20 pm
here and further inland it's even worse there now dealing with mudslide concerns and tornado watches. at some point or another every county in north carolina has been under some sort of a watch whether it's flash flooding tornado hurricane story you know it's just the scope of this is just breathtaking and they're talking about damages in the three to five billion dollar range once this is all done just to put it all in perspective of course right now people are just worried about getting home and getting back to life as usual businesses remain closed people have no cell phone batteries their connections to the outside world and wilmington in particular where they're. really getting to be. miserable isn't a christian so many thanks for that christians in riegelwood north florida wilmington north carolina. the united states but also hitting central nigeria revealer it's causing a bit of a stir not just how it's been handled but the visuals that we're getting out of
6:21 pm
this are exactly kemal a given the fact that we've seen a lot of natural disasters around the world the floods in nigeria's kochi sates seem to have gone under reported with very little video or pictures available most of what we've seen online is from previous floods or from other countries where you're seeing doctors doctor the images and also malaysia now these images on your screen are the only ones from friday that we've been able to verify showing the destruction caused at least seventy people have reportedly died and that number is expected to rise and the state of kochi is when i jarius two main rivers the new and benue meet it's believed heavy rains cause the rivers to best their banks and overflow is known to be one of the state's most affected by flooding in twenty twelve hundreds of homes with of merged and thousands of people displaced. well nigeria's a national emergency management agency is posting updates on twitter it warns that
6:22 pm
they will be more flooding in the coming days and people should move from affected areas the water levels are also continuing to rise in the joker reaching more than eleven meters high and we heard from abraham husseini from the yani network a youth community group that helps with peace building and development has just been to an a.t.p. camp that was flooded in the in the cogia in coach the state. are very there are. reserves are so hard we are not likely. to be very. gradually getting loaded i really resent. the work there is really going to be really grounded all to shut down while the jarius president mohamed to bihari has declared the floods a national disaster but the government has been criticizing has been criticised for
6:23 pm
his handling of the situation online it was this tweet from the presidential spokesman that got people talking it said muhammadu buhari extends his sympathies to president trump and the american people over the death devastating effects of hurricane florence currently ravaging some parts of the united states but some like me tell say that floods are ravaging homes and spacing vast numbers of people across nigeria not enough is being done or being said about it and this season includes president biharis twitter account and his post oscar him why are you more interested in commiserating with trump while your own people are battling floods in a kochi state and jerry and does better when you are currently in kochi state we do want to hear from you send us your stories pictures or videos use the hash tag a.j. news grid. ok thanks for that plenty of comments coming through from you watching at home already you may be thank you to. let me see donna has just said
6:24 pm
mother nature is not happy and it really does feel that way at the moment when we cover all these storms that are going on at the moment and plenty of you talking about the situation in syria where of course waiting a live news conference from presidents putin and from sochi about the future of syria there it is still waiting for it that's what about an hour or so been waiting so far but of course we'll bring it to you live on the grid when it happens now an urgent meeting of the u.n. security council is underway in new york the u.s. called for it saying it was urgently needed to discuss countries undermining sanctions on north korea or and that means the u.s. ambassador pointing the finger at russia saying moscow altered a report that allegedly concluded it had been transferring petroleum to north korea meanwhile it will talk about the small light of pressure mounting on south korea's president in he's off to pyongyang his aim to kick start a stalled peace initiative and to ultimately convince the north to give up its
6:25 pm
nuclear weapons it will be moon's summit with kim jong burn. off to the u.n. we go with james bays to talk about this emergency session which has been going on james bring us up to date you know this is a meeting of the security council which was called by the u.s. which currently happens to the president of the security council and it was pretty clear that the u.s. ambassador nikki haley is not at all happy and she's not at all happy about russia because she says that there are these sanctions that have been put in place that the whole world has got behind and they're one of the reasons that north korea has been talking to the u.s. about possibly arising but she says now russia is undermining these sanctions this is what she said a short time ago. why after voting for sanctions for eleven different terms is russia now backing away from that we know the answer it's because
6:26 pm
russia has been cheating and now they've been caught. despite its repeated support for un sanctions russia is actively working to undermine the enforcement of the security council sanctions on north korea she says that this isn't a one off she said it's systematic by moscow to violate these sanctions very strong allegation coming from the u.s. ambassador she's also saying that there was an independent panel of experts report on north korea which russia put pressure on that panel to remove some of the things that they were going to say about russia's violations she says that is affecting the independence of the panel which reports to the u.n. security council we've obviously seen a lot of division on many issues between the u.s. and russia in the security council north korea have been one rare part of the
6:27 pm
security council agenda where there was unity it seems there is no longer unity james bays with an update on north korea from the u.n. thanks james as i mentioned those talks between mon and kim begin on tuesday in pyongyang here is rob mcbride with a look ahead to that south korean president moon j.n. travels to pyongyang determined to breathe new life into an initiative he'd largely started and which now seems to be stalled. he knows the price of failure could be a return to the dangerous brinkmanship of missile testing going to wrap things up if it becomes if there are talks is not about nuclear disarmament are stark and the us dark indeed are there hardliners in washington and seoul especially in washington view her upper hand and probably will start demanding
6:28 pm
a speedy turn to their hard line maximum pressure points. in holding this summit moon is following in the footsteps of a previous essar president roh moo hyun a like minded reformer who held talks in pyongyang in two thousand and seven this will be moon's third summit with the north korean leader kim jong il and. their first landmark meeting was in april at the panmunjom truce village on the demilitarized zone separating the two koreas they met there again in may when the prospect of talks between north korea and the u.s. seemed to be in jeopardy. it helped pave the way for the historic meeting between kim and u.s. president donald trump in singapore the following month. the floor in relations has seen tangible results. reunions of families separated by the korean war have restarted for the first time since twenty fifteen. eighty five year old takes
6:29 pm
a young was among hundreds of south koreans who made the journey to the mount common gun resort in north korea last month. her dream is that this summit could one day lead to a new era of friendship said about you less that a family members could be allowed to go back and forth and visit each other's homes nothing would be patient then max there have been other notable signs of progress the return by north korea of the remains of u.s. soldiers killed in the war but the ultimate prize as moon has known from the start is for the north to give up its nuclear weapons. this is a precious start for the complete genial or as ation of the korean peninsula several months on there's little sign of that happening north korea waits for some relief from sanctions the united states is still waiting for the north to give up any of its nuclear weapons and neither seems to see

6:33 pm
the camera. the stories be don't often hear told by the people who live them. in the media would this is europe on al-jazeera. fresh perspectives the possibilities. debates and discussions it's only one piece on a story that doesn't get nearly the news coverage that it deserves says so much to talk about is there any way of measuring that is our number at all that we can put all. out is there is award winning programs take you on a journey around the globe. only on just their. hands.
6:34 pm
the headline from al-jazeera dot com and what's trending as well you pakistani prime minister iran tom pledging citizenship to refugee. yes interesting story and it's at the top of the what's trending at least today more there on the cuts to palestinian aid last night we were looking at the closure of the palestinian liberation office. organization of such as are in washington d.c.
6:35 pm
so have a look at that if you like that is what's trending this monday down to zero dot com something different you. know we're just six months out now from the u.k. becoming the first country ever to leave the european union and the divorce steel is still far from certain and that has got some pretty influential people worried the latest being christine legarde the head of the international monetary fund like god says there will be significant costs if the u.k. crashes out of the e.u. without a deal and even if there's a deal the u.k.'s economic prospects will be damaged or yourself. let me be clear compared with today's smooth single market although likely bragg's it scenarios will have costs for the u.k. economy and to a lesser extent as well for the e.u. the larger the impediments to trade in the new relationship the costlier it will be the range of issues that remains to be address is daunting as is daunting the
6:36 pm
small time left to address them. so that's with just a quick recap now on what the brags that alternatives are in fact the downing street communications team tweeted this just today it's from july seventh but it's like a reminder to resume a's so-called check his deal it is incredibly varied. and or obvious in places of the number one leaving the e.u. on the twenty ninth of march of two thousand and nineteen yes we know that the most important things i think we should probably be looking at is number five here trying to make some sort of a u. u.k. free trade deal with a common rulebook for just cultural goods also issues to do with common agricultural policy and fisheries and this on this is very very contentious the border or in fact they don't want to hog border between northern ireland and ireland or between all of them on in great britain because of course that will affect borders into europe. but while nearly all the talk about briggs that is on
6:37 pm
the u.k.'s future don't forget the european union needs a deal here as well even after it leaves the u.k. will be a major economy on the outskirts of the e.u. and european companies will want to part of that just as they have all this time also historically the u.k. has been one of the countries which for extremism in europe and with right wing national governments emerging in hungary and italy in poland and elsewhere brussels needs all the help we can get to secure its future as a bloc so let's talk about all of these things with paul james carvel he is a professor of lore at the university of strathclyde is joining us from. glasgow today nice to have you with us. i'll just go broad brush first of all six months to go it seems extraordinary that we're still debating over what briggs it would actually look like i mean how confident are you that in six months time they'll be something tangible. well i think we're not even looking at six months really one of the problems with the way that we see this timeline is that in
6:38 pm
six months the u.k. will leave as you said it's two years then to the date that article fifty was launched and that means according to the lore according to the treaty the u.k. will leave so in order to have a deal between the u.k. and the e.u. it really needs to be done by october or november early november at the very very latest so that this deal can then be approved on the side but also on the use side including the member states but also the european parliament so the time issue is really a lot shorter than the six months left before the u.k. does finally leave ok does it come down to the fact that it wasn't all these things weren't thought about before the vote and it's all sort of been the scramble since the vote to leave the european union or is it just that. there is too much conflict within particularly the government over what briggs it should look like. i think so yes i mean the referendum was launched and the government of the time
6:39 pm
david cameron's government took a position that people should vote to remain remember the leaflet that was sent to u.k. households explaining the decision why so there wasn't really any scenarios put in place as to what a future relationship might look like between the u.k. and the e.u. and i think there's also quite a lot of misunderstanding within the u.k. about what the e.u. does and i think we find this reflected time and time again in the u.k. sorry the e.u. is a very complex organization the u.k. has been in it for over forty years and in a sense we've got used to that we've got used to the free trade in goods and services free movement of people workers and so on as well so trying to unpack that integration really from the last forty years is an extremely difficult thing to do so i think had the referendum taken place after a long national conversation about what kind of relationship the u.k. wants with the e.u. then we might be in a business better position to know how that can play out and what the framework and
6:40 pm
lauren politics and so on might be but we're not at that stage if you just flip it around because i mentioned the fact that you know the your europe needs a good deal here as well i mean i mustn't my national think as well europe would just say hey we didn't ask you to leave so yourselves out but how important is it for europe to get i quote unquote good deal. well i think it's very important i mean as you heard christine lagarde saying. briggs it will hurt the u.k. economically there are of course breaks into these who say that the u.k. will do very well but even that in the longer term rather shorter term and there will be an impact of course on the rest of the european union as well again because as you said one of the largest economies in the you is the u.k. so there is turbulence if you like expected from the u.k.'s departure but that also has to be balanced with the need that the e.u. has to maintain the integrity to use the words of michel barnier the lead
6:41 pm

the honor is here to talk cricket today yes i am thank you five hundred you look confused now i'm excited i love cricket well there's some exciting news england's india's cricketers sorry return to action on tuesday off to bed is also top of england as they begin their asia cup campaign in the u.a.e. six of the continent's top sides have an action but the tournament reverting back to an irony i format off to being a t twenty tournament last time around india's fast matches against hong kong and despite being the highest ranked team in the event to heading into it and not the
6:52 pm
best shape now despite winning the t twenty series india were crushed four one in the test until one in the one day is in england over the summer that also without the wild number one test and o.d.i. batsman in the u.a.e. are currently has been excluded so you can have a rest and they've been drawn in the same group as odd rivals pakistan who beat them the last time they met in last year's champions trophy final the man leading india in the u.a.e. is looking forward to the challenge. of course it's a big responsibility i have done captaincy department wants to really and this is a big tournament for me i'm very excited and also on the bit nervous i've played a lot with the rest of the boys and we know each other well it's important to know each other i'm looking forward to it. joining me now it's not a grudge call appeared he is a writer for the cricket website cric info dot com and joins me live now from london now off to end his performance in england to what extent should india fans
6:53 pm
panic or be concerned. i would say around use the word panic they if there's a word they would use that would be very angry. in your making quiet forced full statements before leaving for the england cold or the thought that they're going to conquer the twenty two yards in the going to win the test series which was a realistic aim to be honest because when virat kohli csma landed in the u.k. england were not such a well settled test unit so everyone expected india to kind of win or at least draw the series realistically my own assessment maybe after india lost the second test was like india going to lose three one or four one and which is what happened and the reason i felt like they are going to lose it is because of their batting it's the top all about being which did flourish which tend to forget flourishing which didn't kind of stay for more than five minutes at this crease and that kind of hurt
6:54 pm
india lot not grudge do you think leaving iraq early out of the asia cup was the right maze. it's not leaving out it's resting because the workload management they're keeping in mind is to just kind of take back the you was a couple of months back when kohli arrived here he had a neck injury because of the neck injury he kind of did not come to england to play for sorry he wanted to have a mini stint in the county circuit to get prepared for the test series so i can understand where this is he's not been dropped or anything he's just been rested and this is all keeping in mind kohli who plays all three or one of the few players who plays all trade formats and next year the world cup is every every team's ambition to kind of do well and have the best please available so kohli is being looked after a big game coming up india vs pakistan has got the edge in that one. but
6:55 pm
does that mean because i saw that i saw them in the file in champions trophy they would be like bristling with confidence only because of that final where they beat india by one and he runs more importantly moment amir if he is fit and if he can play he had removed india's old top three batsmen including the current captain for not so many runs so your biggest fan would be more confident of doing well keeping in mind that india don't have kohli so the onus would be on drew it poses a very good open no so but again his opening partner chicago and he's coming out of a very lean back from out of the england test series no kohli and then the pressure falls on the middle order which is led by dhoni who doesn't have too many runs so yeah i mean there's a lot of pressure on india. final question the world cop is coming up next year which of the asian teams has the best chance. india. why.
6:56 pm
not because i'm indian why because. they have the experience in these big. big good tournament such admission of a they reached the final they couldn't make it past on that particular day because they were defeated by the left on basis of pakistan amir ranjan it can but now they're well prepared and i think guys like kohli animist though he would be playing next year which should be his final world cup they would like to go out on a high and for kohli also this could be his last will before you know because he's been making noises about or injury and except for so i think india favorites and they can play the high pressure much as much better than the other asian countries he answered that so quickly india ok thank you very much now graduate and i. thank you. as always you can share your thoughts with us using the hash tag as ever that is aging is great that's all from me that is most sport in the eight hundred g.m.t. news out there for now it is back to come on let me thank you for that tatiana
