central to the raptors recent success earlier i spoke to a while said gary he's the n.b.a. editor at the score in toronto he told us how leonard has helped transform the raptors. the trade off of the margaret was in for quite a leonard makes such a significant impact on both ends of the floor and co i wonder just he's on a different level as that play a lot more to be excited about you have essentially the exact same team but you're adding call if you're also adding baby greene who is one of the best three d. players in the n.b.a. and it's very under-rated movies well they've just been so much better so much more crisp with the basketball this season and you just see such a big difference let me tell you everybody is extremely excited here everybody i work with strictly raptors fans i'm the only non raptors bankrupt there actually is i get tell you the hype withdrawal was really really high and it's probably not going to slow down until somebody tries to beat them in the playoffs and i don't know if anybody's going to be able to win the east it'll be between the celtics the

sixers in the rafters but right now it's hard to deny the raptors odds and everybody seems to be really excited about it so i think we're all looking forward to our raptors warriors finals the future of the cycling team that's won six of the last seven tour de france titles is and doubt team sky sponsor has said it will withdraw financial backing at the end of next year cash from the broadcasting company sky has helped power chris froome to six grand tour of the attorneys this year a report by u.k. parliamentary committee said the team had crossed the ethical line over its use of medical exemption for banned drugs. but the mclaren formula one company have decided now is the time to invest in cycling they signed a deal to partner with the bahrain meridia team. and that's all you sport for now more later. companies and governments across the globe want to be carbon free by twenty fifty but there's a growing focus on countries like poland where coal is the primary source of energy

the country is hosting the world cup international climate conference report is from. across poland this is still a familiar sight the smoke of domestic coal fires burning to keep the chill of winter at bay and it's a scene replicated by the chimneys of millions of homes across the country you know the acrid smell of coal smoke in the air in this part of the city of kind of it's where the climate conference is being held is almost overpowering and you can really see why in the weeks leading up to the climate conference that the city was found to be the second most polluted in the whole of europe. i head off to meet me col damas sick third generation miner he receives sacks of coal as part of his pay to feed a hungry boiler that heats his home just yards this is the way ninety percent of rural people heat their properties gas is coming more and more to the cities but

coal we still prevalent the climate conference wants to change things i don't think it's possible in our country because the mining industry is too established people would lose jobs. it's not just emissions from the chimneys of people's homes but also of course from the coal fired power stations that provide eighty percent of the nation's electricity it's an industry that provides sixty thousand jobs in industry woven into the fabric of the it's a lazy in region of poland and industry many say is here to stay in coal plays a big part in the so-called energy equation and it's important because simply we have it with a sixth biggest producer of coal and i don't see it changing we need to make the important distinction between coal mining and c o two emissions we can still use coal but in all friendly ways it's clear these are sensitive times for polish coal twenty kilometers from cut of it's a this happens. so we literally just arrived started filming the premises here and

security from the cold to arrive in the college block to sit in the cold in the police they don't want to hear it too after some debate when moved on we can't film at the site say to the hay city stand inside the conference venue remember it's all about climate and polish coal is the theme is cold jewelry is cold say three of the event sponsors a cult companies this is a time and of our past we need to focus on our future and in my opinion the future and therefore see this is spring in poland there will be up to one hundred thousand new jobs created in clean economic sector in two dozen fifteen so there is an alternative the most important is to come u.k. to my nurse president president john j. do dodd says he will not lead others mud at the polish coal industry coal is here

to stay he says it's evident that for coal dependent nations like poland the transition to clean energy is a long long way off. al-jazeera kind of itself. that's it for me for this new rochelle carey is here next with more of the day's news. this is the journey you've been looking forward to the one you've been dreaming about. little take you to those you love to faraway places new faces old friends on a new adventure far from the ordinary in extraordinary comfort come with us in award winning style because this is the journey you've been dreaming about we're boarding now. a reporter's

retreat in a brutal civil war if a commodore hadn't been there the israeli invasion would not have been so world war the commodore had become a journalistic center you could be in a safe enclave and then you went out into civil war i started off leaving this of a ground suite at the commodore hutto the next room i was in was underground in a tiny prison so as a hostage beirut the commodore war hotels on al-jazeera. the latest news as it breaks yellowcard the failure will continue not only in july but into next week with details coverage classical criticism of capitalist economics to a fifty six billion dollar i.m.f. loan to argentina from around the world these are the victims of one of the world's most forgotten conflicts and without agent help they could become a lost generation. in malaysia schooling is

a luxury for children of writing a muslim refugees but. every child deserves an opportunity for faith and creativity the arms them with the skills to overcome any hurdle and seize the threat to his schools existence as a test of his faith. school of the heart of the viewfinder asia seems on al-jazeera. dogs have come for the. british prime minister theresa may survives a no confidence vote from within her own party but questions remain about the country's parks and plans.

and richelle carey this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up debating the war and yet many u.s. senators start discussing whether to pull military support for the saudi and the rotty like coalition. president donald trump's former lawyer michael cohen is going to prison for tax evasion and for violating campaign finance laws but says he's getting his freedom back and. i'm curious my view also in the philippines a country raptly with the world's most congested jails. british prime minister theresa may has survived a challenge to her leadership called by party backbenchers opposed to her breaks it deal with the european union on may survive politically for now she still faces widespread opposition in the westminster parliament to her breaks a plan but just over three months to go before the u.k.

is due to leave opponents are demanding a general election with others calling for another referendum on bracks it interests him and looks back on a momentous day british politics. the results all thing about it helps to save me is that the parliamentary policy does have confidence. it was a convincing win two hundred votes against one hundred seventeen. the secret ballot behind closed doors in westminster was because of tourism aides handling of rex it but she struck a compromise with the conservative party in order to ensure keeping her job a promise not to stand in the next election but she made no reference to such a compromise when she emerged after the vote. so here is a new mission delivering the bricks it that people voted for bringing the country back together and building

a country that truly works for everyone but some of those who voted against being irreparable damage. has divided the conservative party and divided the conservative party from. this means. we don't have a majority to govern the country earlier in the day there had been high drama the tension easing only slightly when conservative m.p.'s publicly declaring their support past the hundred fifty nine figure needed for survival as party leader cabinet ministers at the church we already have a certain amount of volunteer volatility in the country because the negotiations going on with the e.u. think it is a huge mistake to add to that five volatility by having a leadership fight now and all the confusion would go that. the prime minister had started her day in a defiant mood i will contest that vote with everything i've got she immediately

cleared his schedule and headed off to parliament to face the opposition and if he wants a meaningful data i'll give him one twenty ninth of march two thousand and nineteen when we leave they are. here i mean. really an absolutely unacceptable the prime minister not government already been found to be in contempt of parliament her behavior today just is.
