not only this week but you know how you play the second hour of this year we maybe never seen it before i mean you barely lost a match i'm actually very thankful you lost one to me today so i know. djokovic who is struggling from the start losing the first set six four he kept crumbling for the rest of the match. vera was there to capitalize on his every mistake i djokovic started the year outside of the world's top twenty with a debilitating elbow injury he then came back to win wimbledon and the u.s. open and will finish this year as the world's top ranked player i. but in this final the german outperformed the serb in every way having never made it beyond the quarter finals in a grand slam vera one the second set six three. and with it the type i think the age difference of the players was as noticeable as the

that and build on that because the energy that came back to detain in those difficult moments helped us to get over the line to the incredible results in sunday's other group a game switzerland needed to beat belgium by two clear goals to progress the swiss went down to hit back to win five seven that result means they join england and portugal in the inaugural nations in the finals european champions portugal will host next year's fourteen torment in june the netherlands rain with a good chance of taking that fourth and final spot for portugal they need a draw against germany on monday soo secure top spot in their group that would see them qualify ahead of world champions france germany have already been relegated it's a big turnaround for the dutch she failed to qualify for the last world cup i am twenty sixteen european championships. that's the past i think we we need to look forwards. we have big talents in ireland coming through to do the system i

think we have a could balance in the team at the moment and the players are working are doing everything to get good results and i think we're on a good way england's cricketers are runts up a rare test series win in sri lanka sure i could start a day five or the second test needing seventy five runs to win the match and level the series but england got the three wickets they require for that now with so including this one trying to cap censoring a lack now jack plate picks up the final wicket and his maiden test five look at whole england winning by fifty seven runs their first series victory intra lanka since two thousand and one. to perform as we have done. and money. sort of so that pressure applied back on the opposition for long periods of time as well hold on shares quite a lot of maturity for what is quite an experienced side in this part the world

we're looking at the bigger picture we see is the first t.v. series we lost this year we want the one in south africa to need it and these two games very close games. we had the opportunity to win board games that at times england played better cricket then as we had to accept that. pakistan looked to be on course to win the first test of the series with new zealand hassen ali and yes it shabazz claimed five good horses new zealand were bowled out for two hundred forty nine in their second innings left the pakistan chasing one seven six five victory they finished days during abu dhabi on thirty seven s. . francesco molinari has finished the year is the top ranked player on goals european saw is rivals unable to overhaul a mature worlds or championship in dubai the open when it is the first italian to finish the season as the european number one tournament itself or that was won by danny well it's the english men's first title since the twenty sixth the masters. i

honestly probably never thought it was going to happen you know you can win tournaments but the witnesses along races is much harder but the amount of great players we have to right now it's really incredible you know it's obviously come from from a lot of awards last winter and the years before and i need to relax for a while now and then start again from from scratch marks the g.p. world champion mark marquez didn't end the season in the style he would have once it mark has won its third straight title in japan last month but a rain sodden finale in valencia not so is like some time champion valentino rossi another rider to slide out of the race was warm. and dry of his young son. and a seventeen year old racing driver has survived the horrific crash at the macau former three race in china germany's saffir flourish was heading into a tight corner before losing control going airborne

a rite of passage preserved through the generations my cousin was laying down there until a screaming she was helpless the woman who after indoors as ghosts facal of pain for what that menai meets the women affected by s.g.m. and those reshaping perception do you think people will abandon this even thought about to the stake al-jazeera correspondent the current. president traum confirms the u.s. has an audio recording of the murder of jamal khashoggi but says he's not listened to it himself. there's no reason for me to hear it in fact i said to the people

they said you really should. hello i'm maryam namazie in london you are with al jazeera also coming up this hour yemen's who sees say they're holding drone and missing iowa tax on saudi arabia and its coalition allies israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu names himself defense minister but his coalition looks close to collapse. thousands of people evacuated from their homes in california hold out hope for those who remain missing . u.s. president donald trump says he doesn't want to listen to a recording of the murder of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi it described the recording given to the u.s. by turkey as very violent and very vicious was speaking of fox news in an interview

recorded before the cia briefer trump administration on the murder and its belief that the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon was responsible also in jordan reports. but i did not know for the first time u.s. president donald trump says when he knows exactly what's in the audiotape surrounding the death of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi it's a suffering tape it's a terrible tape i've been fully briefed on it there's no reason for me to hear it in fact i said to the people should i said you really should and there's no reason i know exactly i know everything that one of the ten without having to and what happens in trouble revealed this information during an interview he taped on friday the same day that several newspapers reported that according to the cia because she was killed on orders of the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salim on position during the interview and the white house's position now it's still too soon to say who ordered cheese murder i don't know you know who can really know what if the crown prince speaking to you the president of the united states directly lied to

you a lot that he told me that he had nothing to do with it he told me that i would say maybe five times in the last two years trump and his son in law jarrett cushion or had grown close to the crown prince they see him as key to their goal of isolating iran into promoting u.s. economic growth but on capitol hill the idea that mohamed bin solomon is a friend of the u.s. is dying i'm going to do whatever i can to place blame where i believe it lies i'm a put it at the feet of the crown prince who has been a destructive force in the middle east embargoed without telling anybody this war on humans got completely out of control he put the prime minister of lebanon under house arrest is clearly this guy's a wrecking ball some in congress say trump's long running hatred of the intelligence community is keeping him from doing the right thing the president needs to listen to what our intelligence committee has to say what our best

professionals assessment is and it's vitally important that this administration not allow itself to become part of any saudi coverup and while the u.s. . has imposed sanctions on seventeen saudi officials others in congress are pushing for a much tougher punishment we need to punish who ordered this who's in charge and really the only thing they understand over there is strength already there are two efforts underway in congress to block arms sales to the saudis not just to end the civil war and yemen but also to send a message to the white house it won't be allowed to ignore the indefensible rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington. call hain joins us live now from washington just carrying president trump's comments that he's not listening to the tape he has no intention of doing so he's also sending in such of advise not to do it and yet it's very vicious so what's going on. well the president continues pretty much what he's

been doing since the beginning since the day that jamal khashoggi disappeared in the inside the consulate trying to find a way to not blame the crown prince of saudi arabia mohammed bin sol month when pressed he always falls back on the same sort of talking points basically saying saudi arabia is important to the u.s. economy that talks about the route of arms sales that the u.s. does to saudi arabia i think it's important to point out when i have ever he brings up this information he vastly overstates saudi arabia's involvement in the u.s. economy when it comes to also how much arms they've actually bought this is again the president basically doubling down disputing his intelligence community which he often does it's really a silly would have been unheard of in any administration before trump u.s. presidents don't do this so we've seen the intelligence community try to outmaneuver the president they've talked to several different media outlets and they've put this with the label of high confidence meaning they say they have high confidence that muhammad been solid on was in fact behind the killing of his shoji

this is not a label that the intelligence community uses often or easily so they're sending the message through the press that they basically think he did it even if the president says there's no evidence of it right but u.s. senate says on listening to the intelligence community they have been very vocal in voicing that consents today. it's been across the board it's been in the house in the senate the democrats republicans every senior member of the congress when it comes to foreign policy has come out and said this is not acceptable so the treasury department said we're going to sanction seventeen individuals and i can tell you that landed with a giant thud on capitol hill basically saying this isn't enough the other thing that's really driving these senators and these congressman is we saw secretary of state and secretary of defense jim madison come out and secretary of state might come pale and say the yemen war's got to stop thirty days we want to see a ceasefire and we've seen the bombardment of yemen escalate after those debate

ends so many senators have said see this shows us that the crown prince is not going to listen to the trump administration they're not going to listen to us unless we send a message and they want that message to be strong so the question remains just how many will vote on any of this legislation because they have to have enough to override a potential presidential veto we're not going to know the answer to that this week the congress the house the senate they're not in session they're gone for the holiday week so it's going to be a little bit before we know exactly how congress intends to act thank you very much from washington patty culhane ok well now mama deval has more on the reaction in turkey. we don't have any officer reaction here in turkey on the latest that has been discussed and said in washington particularly by president donald trump but we know from the what has been going on and discussed in turkey that your forty's here are feeling that now that this case has been taken to the highest circles in

washington there is a sense of relief here in turkey because they have been. trying with the saudi authorities to do things that could lead to a conclusion like for instance handing the suspects to turkey to be tried on the soil where they had committed the crime or or also given information on the whereabouts of the body none of that has been done by the saudis so now they are looking to washington to do more on this case to put more pressure on the saudis and there is a sense of relief that the momentum has been created once again after a sense or a feeling during the last several days or weeks that the situation but the case could could die down and the world could forget about it but now they are expecting here in turkey that something major could be done by way of a breakthrough in washington to determine who gave the order. to kill him. and probably bring a. bring this situation to

a close very soon. now our other top story this hour yemen's truthy fighters say they are holding drone and mistrial attacks against saudi arabia the u.a.e. and they get many allies saudi m.r.i. she led coalition has been battling the who feels in the country's civil war on hamad joins us now from djibouti and mohammed do you have any information about what is happening on the ground and if a ceasefire is actually being observed. well it's just a fuel was the goal of the whole thing for it as announced that they were now ready to suspend draw. against the saudi. and as well as their allies in yemen the whole things have been sending ballistic missile across

the border into saudi as they say even. the united arab emirates now this thing they're going to stop about and they're not going to be a talking the pro-government alliance that is fighting for the government of president of the rebel months or a hardy of course supported by you. now this comes days after so the united arab emirates both said that they were willing to ceasefire to pave way for talks to be held later in the year in sweden but the whole this had this kind of voters approved by the so the coalition to have in the group but now they seem to have come around to that and they say this is because of a phone call they received from the un special envoy martin griffiths who asked them to cease fire thank you very much for the latest on that story thank you

mohammed israel's prime minister says he hopes his coalition partners will show responsibility and not bring down the government and human netanyahu has been holding last ditch talks to try to save his coalition which currently has a one seat majority in parliament that's now his government was turned into crisis when hardline defense minister avigdor lieberman resigned on wednesday a very ceasefire agreement with. many sunni middle of i'm sure looking into him. we are in one of the most complex security situations and joining a period like you don't topple a government during a period like this you don't go to elections it is irresponsible we still have another year before elections we are in the midst of the campaign and in the middle of a campaign you don't abandon it in the middle of a campaign you don't play politics the security of the state is beyond politics. stephanie deca is in west jerusalem with more on the story

a very confident benjamin netanyahu addressing the israeli public saying that he would be assuming the post of the defense minister but also saying that that decision that he took when it came to a cease fire with hamas was the right one it was a difficult one but he said that the israeli public didn't know all the details of why these decisions are taken basically responding to the criticism that he's been getting from ministers in his government of course of the resignation of out of the door even also criticism from the education minister now actually bennett saying that he's gone soft calling this a left wing government so this was really a message to the israeli public to say keep your confidence in me i am still what is known as a many israeli seen him as mr security and i've done this for the security of the state of israel it is of course very much also political back and forth.
