look at the security situation to see what functions they need to perform and then decide on the form the number of monitors they're going to need to come from member states the united nations people with military experience but people who operate on the ground in an unarmed capacity one of the problems the u.n. is facing here is that the talks in stockholm went much better than expected so the un is having to pull together this monitoring mission at very short notice yemen was the poorest country in the region before the war the un says it's now in the grip of the world's worst humanitarian crisis around eighteen million people that's seventy percent of the population don't have enough food to eat every day more than eight million of them are at least on the brink of famine the conflict has taken a toll on the young one point eight million children are acutely malnourished and most of yemen's humanitarian and commercial supplies around eighty percent come through that port city of the data but as the war's escalated food aid supplies

have been choked and millions of civilians are struggling to survive now data is under control is generated significant income for the group unable to get supplies to their fighters in the north. carolinas is a spokeswoman for doctors without borders and she joins me now on the line from dubai but i understand that you just returned from yemen within the last few days how dire is the health situation where you were. the change it's very very bad and we see that there is more than all indications are to get access to care to see. data inside a city that says where around to city for example we opened recently and those people in mohali entire suffer for get out because there was no access to care or are told or from or did are two are dead which is almost

a terror by road and it's essentially tradition much of the no step or you know did . devastation there sir the hospital kept as you please because this stuff or let's just because a hospital nearby to frontline or because some of the hospital that's been destroyed as well and cannot continue to provide care to the appropriation when we were able to see when you were able to regroup and find a safe location to deliver the aid and to help those that need it most what sort of aid is coming through and how rarely are you getting it. the edge is still continuing john tour to tour arriving there in yemen with the forwards we use a lot had been brought in from idea and we were able to to send to send this reply all you know and i including to note that. but it's getting more and more the

future can because our research a long. fucking partition because there is a lot of check before to enter any kind of supply in to examine. he said well a lot of insecurity mainly of course many in order that that would be and there is still a lot of bonding almost every day in terms of safety and security you need to consider when looking after the staff that you are responsible for how would you describe the general security situation in the lead up to the cease fire certainly in the who data area. or did i refuse very tense hours since the first of november when the fancy has been lounge to there was during that time a very tense intensive fight on the ground there have been bombing from this cave bumping from the scene hospital is now less than one kilometer from the front line

and. that was very very active and yesterday this situation was really much more calm than you twenty in the past two days two days ago it was very very tense but again yesterday it was bitter in a good eight cells afternoon fadder. the bonding are very very important almost every day young even yesterday for the moment to carolina sugata thanks so much joining us from dubai apple thank you. now the u.s. travel ban of people from many muslim countries is preventing a yemeni mother from seeing her dying son the two year old is in hospital in california with a rare brain disease the council on american islamic relations is appealing to the u.s. state department to issue a waiver but there's been no response mike hanna reports now from washington d.c. . the first travel ban was imposed just days after president trump took office it face numerous challenges before the current version was upheld by the

supreme court earlier this year it prohibits the citizens of iran libya somalia syria and yemen from traveling to the u.s. without a special waiver and among those barred from entry is the mother of a two year old boy dying of a rare brain disease in a california hospital abdulla her son was brought to the u.s. for treatment by his father early he's now being kept on life support so his mother can bid farewell but despite numerous requests there's been no way that issued by the state department now we see the muslim beza fact in the most dehumanizing way and we're running out of time we're calling for the department of state to issue a muslim ban waiver to allow seamus willow the wife of a u.s. citizen the mother of a u.s. citizen to hold her child one last time until allow her to mourn with dignity and a direct plea made by

a grieving father my wife's economy reading wanted to kiss another son. for the one most hang. time in. terms of i mean now please help us to my family together you. the stark odds facing a mother who wants to join a husband and dying son statistics reveal only two percent top requests for a waiver succeed mike hanna al-jazeera washington. or china's president are celebrating the fortieth anniversary of free market reforms or transform the country from one of the world's poorest to the second largest economy she promised to open up even more but a few details he didn't refer directly to the trade standoff with the u.s. but made a veiled reference to not being dictated to adrian brown reports now from beijing

in one nine hundred seventy eight the overall impression of china was one of backwardness and extreme poverty with workers doing jobs machines could do better the country was still recovering from the chaos and cruelty of chairman mao's political campaign. china's current president xi jinping was twenty five and a postgraduate student china's leader then was done shopping and on december the eighteenth in the great hall of the people he delivered one of the most important speeches in china's history outlining a radical plan to reform and open up the country stagnating economy allowing foreign investment from rivals like japan and the united states the southern city of shenzhen next to hong kong would be the crucible of that change the tiptoeing into capitalism had begun. forty years on president xi delivered another

keenly anticipated speech unusually sitting down and he struck a defiant tone no one would stop china's rise neil curry from meet there is no textbook to follow that no one is in a position to dictate to the chinese people what should or should not be done. china's development he said pose no threat to any country. given the current sino u.s. trade friction that's begun to her china's economy this was a timely address but other than a vague promise to continue the reforms that dung began president she didn't address the trumpet ministrations concerns that there be less state control in china's economy. in this spacing park we found contrasting views about whether life had got better for all. our biggest feelings airspeed keeps going faster and faster we getting more and more airplanes and reaching out to more destinations and

no countries can beat our high speed trains i think this is sad is only good when the disadvantaged people benefit as well not just for the rich ones china's leaders though have proved one thing you can improve livelihoods and grow an economy without political reform adrian brown al-jazeera beijing hold on one is a china analyst on the economy economist intelligence unit and joins me now from beijing good have you with us i mean what was in your opinion the main theme from the speech on sort of this meteoric progress that china has made in its economy over the last forty years. well by any standard china's expansion last forty years a was a sort of economic miracle but today she's speech mainly suggested that the new policies will just be a continuation from the past policies this is to me more like a big party for the party is celebration for the chief meant but in terms of new

reform fresh initiatives there was no mentioning and that's why there's a sort of sense of disappointment in a market but i do think that going forward as she said the past policies announced by him for example make the state on his actors bigger and stronger they will continue it's really interesting that as you say it was thin on detail in certain areas and perhaps there were no direct references also to the ongoing dispute over terrorists with the u.s. i mean is that sort of a signal that they are sort of leaving room to maneuver with the u.s. or they don't really to see a breakthrough in negotiations it's a funny want to call. right absolutely i do not see the possibility of even a small breakthrough because china has made several gestures in the past to make some compromise with the u.s. but at this point any observers would have realized that it's not a what the u.s.

wants it's not about trade deficit as trade is about the commanding heights while you can amaze and that is technology and the u.s. so far has been trying so hard to decouple its domestic technology sector from china's technology sector in order to maintain its dominance in technology and this is quite alarming to china because according to see speech today china would focus still on its indigenous innovation and that would be something that china is going to support for a long time and because of the i do not see any any possible new deal as a signing in the next ninety days of course china expels a sort of success perhaps doing it steals on an entirely level playing field yet it does sponsor state sponsored enterprises and then there are real huge questions about intellectual property intellectual property violations which the international community often criticizes and china about

a criticism comes from the u.s. this is a huge hurdle for both sides to try and work out how to solve how to jump over to move forward with. right i mean for that ip protection i think there is some room to go further for china and china we have to admit as made some improvement in the past two years is specially an attack industry. to made all the criteria that the us has lined out especially for the state owned enterprises the government to back to subsidies will stay in place for a long time because simply because the status of the zoe's they're too important especially after the financial crisis in two thousand and eight and the central government is quite clear on how important it is in exercising the state policy on the private sector wouldn't just blindly follow without considering economic

returns so that as always are the real weapon and they have to stay there and they have to be bigger and stronger and we see what happens down one from the economist joining me from beijing thanks so much. still ahead here on the al-jazeera news deal or no deal but his prime minister treason may meet with her cabinet to see whether ok from here. is exactly four years to go until the world cup final but will it be a forty eight team torn him and twelve here from the cattle twenty twenty two organises. online holiday rental company have b. and b. has denied making a u. turn on its decision to ban listings of properties in illegal settlements of the occupied west bank the company made the announcement last month israel's tourism ministry has since said be back down after threats of legal action in israel and the us well to clarify the stephanie decker has the latest from west jerusalem.

is in jerusalem talking to the tourism minister this led to some confusion on tuesday initially air b.n. b. putting out a statement in hebrew by its israeli spokesperson indicating that it was going back on its november decision to stop listing homes and properties in the illegal settlements in the occupied west bank now the israeli tourism minister also hinted that that will soon after air be put out another statement saying that this was incorrect that basically its policy and its decision had not changed it did however clarify that it didn't agree with the b.d.s. movement the boycott divestment and sanctions movement that cesar israeli products boycotted. this settlements in the west bank these kinds of things so distancing itself from the political movement of when it comes to boycotting israel but say

that it was talking to all sides and it was trying to understand what was a very complex and emotional issue it is of course having air b.n. b. is learning just how complicated this it truly. it is here remains to talk to the tourism minister on wednesday we'll wait and see if there is any other statement but certainly it shows you the pressure that the israeli lobby has the power that it has and also the pressure and the concerns israel has when you have such a high profile international company like air b.n. b. saying that it will no longer advertise it will no longer work with the settlements in the west bank which are of course illegal under international at the moment from what we understand its policy has not changed it will continue not to list them but they continue to be listed on its website basically because from what we understand there's a complicated legal issue to remove the listings in the settlements but again it just highlights the complicated nature of the situation on the ground here. the

u.n. says two tunnels allegedly dug by hezbollah fighters in lebanon crossed a demarcation line into israel in total four tunnels were discovered by the israeli military which alerted the u.n. peacekeeping agency those crossing the border violate a cease fire agreement that ended the two thousand and six war a further technical investigation conducted independently in accordance with its mandate you to feel at this stage can confirm that two of the tunnels cross the blue line these constitute violations of un security council resolution seventeen or one this is a matter of serious concern and unifil statical investigations are continuing. the u.n. peacekeeping mission has requested the lebanese authorities toward shore urgent follow up actions in accordance with the responsibilities of the government of lebanon. one of the world's largest defense contractors has warned the canadian government of liability if it's scraps of defense deal with saudi arabia earlier canada's

prime minister justin trudeau said that he was looking for a way out of a multi-billion dollar agreement to sell armored vehicles to the kingdom trudeau is under increasing pressure to cancel a veil following the murder of saadi jonas jamal khashoggi and riyadh's role in the war in yemen. so to europe now where britain's prime minister is holding another meeting with her divided cabinet after announcing a mid january parliamentary vote for her e.u. divorce deal with just over one hundred days until britain is to to leave to resume a's cabinet as it is expected to discuss preparing for a break sit without a deal and also trying to decide how to win a half billion dollars in government funding will be allocated to absorb the potential economic chaos meanwhile the leader of the opposition has submitted a motion of no confidence in may but the government says it's a waste of time well to unpick this so we can join laurence leamer now who's there outside westminster i mean why did labor fail to get enough votes for that vote of

no confidence laurence. yeah it's really complicated and in the end what happened last night was that the leader of the main opposition labor party chairman called been actually made a bit of a fool of himself the labor party has tried for some time now to threaten a vote of no confidence in the governments with a view to calling a general election as a way of breaking the deadlock over over bricks it's they haven't been able to get the votes for that because they're all sort of rebellious conservatives supporting them and so instead they were reduced to calling for a vote of no confidence in theresa may personally because jeremy colvin said she wasted too much time in holding the votes but they didn't have enough support for that either and after all treason they had said earlier yesterday that the vote was going to be in the middle of january and so in the end it was always a symbolic thing and the government has basically said it's not going to allow it

to be debates anyway because it's a waste of time and so actually what jeremy called me ended up doing is effectively losing some momentum that he had in terms of trying to bring the government down to the now so they don't have to wait until after the vote to see if they can do it again. if anything it only serves to make to resume ace position very slightly stronger because rebellious m.p.'s on her side have said they would rather support down the opposition and the rather interesting cabinet meeting apparently today ready to potentially prepare the united kingdom for a no break state exit. yeah i mean that there are extraordinary scare stories that are genuinely in circulation in this country people apparently have be of being sold by by the government's knots of holidays off to march twenty ninth next year on the basis that they mount a bill to fly anywhere because the airports like clothes food shortages water

contamination no medicines coming in from the continents literally all of these things are being talked about to jenin possibilities whether you believe them or nots the governments has said this is what's going to happen if you don't support the prime minister's deal and so some of this at least is an attempt to bounce politicians into thinking over christmas when they go away for the break well do we want to risk no deal all these things we don't know if they going to be true they might not be but they might be or do they actually go it's a reason maze plan instead and so a lot of it is basically psychological games being played by the cabinets in threes and they tried to persuade m.p.'s that even if they don't like the deal it's but of all the alternatives on offer indeed well we'll leave it at an hour lawrence and continue to follow events for the london as the day progresses thank you. that's right as parliament has convened for the first time after the reappointment of ranil wickremasinghe was prime minister he's put together a cabinet he hopes will move the country on from the political crisis triggered by

his sacking. members of the u.n. security council concerned about a recent decision by kosovo to turn it security forces into an army you know what last friday and get serbia prompted the security council meeting on monday un peacekeeping achieve his goal. called all the two sides to refrain from any steps that could escalate the situation that the presidents of kosovo and serbia are standing for god or god jim of kosovo has made a mistake it's only that we had it for five years unnecessarily to establish an army the decision for the army might be belated but in no way is it the wrong one it's belated because we waited for goodwill from those that never showed any goodwill towards cassava we are free seeing. more and more difficulties in the area of course a woman or hero and i have to say the time very much worried very much

concerned an ability even afraid of the future and for the future not only. for my people of our country serbia but of an entire region. well in a few minutes we'll have the weather with rob but still ahead here on the al-jazeera news the south africans who say they're fighting to save three hundred years of heritage from developers. also the pristine landscape on the frontline of the global war on drugs we have a special report from. surfing has a new world champion we'll have those details in sports coming up. from dusky sunsets over the sprawling savannah. to sunrise atop an asian metropolis. halloway severe tropical cyclone made landfall yesterday

in andhra pradesh is video of the event so what you might see when it's december that's what it's not a usual event eleven thousand people were evacuated even then it was blamed for the deaths of two you can see extensive flooding there were actually there was some wind damage from it as well this is how infrequently of the last one that landed in a hundred s. this sort of areas two thousand and three sixty nine to a nine hundred forty seven then we get out of eight hundred seventy eight this is not a usual event and the thing rolled up the coast after that went through calcutta fairly quickly as you can see and then disappeared in a massive cloud off towards china then called out of the average rainfall for december the whole december seventy millimeters most of it fell yesterday at the tail end of this storm again an unusual event what is the picture as we now have it there we've got rain spreading out through the northeast of india bangladesh snow once you get to bhutan and tibet and platter that is going to stay at least for it

eastwards again a fairly unusual event because where it's heading for the central part of china it's not particularly well at this time yeah the average rainfall for it should do all hun in december is six seven millimeters they may easily get that existing slides across and sink slowly so a rare event possibly about to be repeated. the weather sponsored by cats own and weighs. running is one of the most accessible sports in and around al jazeera correspondent andrew richardson takes us on his personal journey of discovery when you find yourself out in the middle of nowhere and run is hurting washing not just stop exploring the growing popularity in science he pushes the limits from kenya to the antarctic. in search of answers to why we ran. out as iraq correspondent. when the news breaks on the story

reported in the besieged city between saudi and u.a.e. but government forces and the rebels china's president are celebrating the fortieth anniversary of free market reforms which transform the country from one of the world's poorest to the wall second largest economy cheating pink promised to open up the world even more but a few details. online holiday rental company a b. and b. has denied making a u. turn on its decision to ban listings of properties and illegal settlements of the occupied west bank the company made the announcement last month israel's tourism ministry has since said be back down after threats of legal action in israel and the us. foreign ministers all the foreign ministers of russia iran and turkey are in geneva for un led talks on syria meet the un special envoy for syria for today a closed door meeting now this comes after the turkish president threatened further military action in the northern city of beach if kurdish why p.g.

fighters there don't leave. the one has long complained about the slow implementation of a deal with washington to withdraw y p g fighters who ankara considers terrorists let's get more on this with their ballots but he's live for us in geneva i mean what can we expect from this meeting today. or hope is that those three foreign ministers from turkey iran and russia have agreed to last fifty names that are gone going to go on this list of a constitutional committee that will go ahead and discuss constitutional changes in syria so there's in all one hundred fifty names on this list the syrian regime has come up with fifty names opposition groups of come up with fifty names and then there was another fifty that these three countries principally with the u.n. have been haggling over and the suggestion is they have now agreed to the who is going to be the names on that list and then that will be given by stephan demister

to the u.n. secretary general perhaps later this week so what if agreed on those names bernard i mean what happens to them i mean how will those names now be used in the future. what happens then is that the hope is i mean is a was a rather optimistic hope now but the one hundred fifty strong committee member committee would meet perhaps as early as the end of december that might seem a little optimistic now it's already halfway through the month but this committee essentially will work next year to draft or bring changes to the syrian constitution while the work calls from outside forces outside groups have a new constitution in syria the assad regime is only willing to take modifications or changes to the current current constitution this one hundred fifty strong committee has to agree on what those changes or new drafts of the constitution would be so that is an enormous task one hundred fifty people to agree on that and then after that we go forward to elections in serious oh well we'll leave it at

that now and follow developments through the day with you ben thank you. russia is being accused of using every social media platform to blur the lines between sight and fiction to help donald trump win the white house in twenty sixteen two reports released by the senate intelligence committee on giving a much bigger picture of moscow's disinflation campaigns which the studies war a still going on alan fischer reports. if you can think of a social media platform there's a strong chance the russians used it to try to influence the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election from you tube facebook and twitter to read it and instagram and more to reports commissioned by the u.s. senate intelligence committee says russia's internet research agency or i r e tried to capitalize on divisions in u.s. politics it pushed more than ten million tweets more than one thousand you tube videos and their own one hundred sixteen thousand instagram posts all together that

translated into a potential of reaching more than one hundred forty million people one of the report's concluded what is clear all of the messaging clearly sought to benefit the republican party and specifically donald trump but one expert says it's not clear if just pushing out the message had any impact the russian certainly tried to interfere in american elections and continue to try and interfere in american politics are they actually making a difference it's not clear what they're doing legal in some of the more indictments of shown certainly not but it's really important thing to separate out affective ness from legality and morality right these are all sort of different issues and difference of stakes of play report see that the russians push conservatives on key issues like gun rights and immigration while sending misinformation to largely democratic supporting african-american voters are doing them to boycott elections and they support u.s. intelligence reports of russian interference and the action of special counsel robert miller who's investigating possible russian collusion in the election to

indict a number of russian hackers and of fear. president donald trump has both criticized possible russian interference and describe it also as a hoax president putin he just said it's not russian except our intelligence community his conclusion that russia is meddling in the two thousand and sixteen election took place the reports also criticized the take firms who provided data to the investigators saying that they seem to provide no more than the minimum information required and will add to pressure on those firms to do more to prevent election interference the report does not cover any potential action in the recent mid-term elections the committee's leading democrat mark warner says it's time to get serious in addressing the challenge of interference and he hopes there could be legislative action to follow alan fischer al-jazeera washington former f.b.i.

director james comey has called on members of president donald trump's republican party to stand up for the values of the country and some questions in congress time he said president trying sculls to criticism of the f.b.i. is harmful to the rule of law and the president of the united states is whining about the f.b.i. attacking the f.b.i. and attacking the rule of law in this country. how does it make any sense at all at some point someone has to stand up in the face of fear of fox news fear their base fear of being tweets stand up for the values of this country and not slink away into retirement but stand up and speak the truth. human rights watch says it's gathered evidence of violent acts being committed against asylum seekers crossing the border from turkey to greece there were no ization interview twenty six people who crossed over in the northeastern region of every last this year and they describe being pushed back over a river into turkey some more serious allegations such as being beaten by greek

arab heritage are twenty times more likely than others to be stopped and searched quite bridge police without an explanation. you cannot do not even if it happens to me you are hanging out in town the police come and search you the last twenty minutes they stop you without any special reason the case is thrown a spotlight on the often tense relationship between french police and young men from the suburbs those here say that although the verdict was unexpected they will continue to exercise their rights and appeal the decision. al-jazeera paris police and hungry have struggled with to control a fifth successive day of anti government protests against so-called slave labor laws crowds outside the state broadcaster demanding the opposition be allowed to read out their demands on t.v. the legislation passed by the rightwing government could see the return of a six day working week and forced overtime and years of delays for workers being

me when i started using heroin we thought herod was just about enjoying ourselves. is a front line in the global war on drugs a war that the international community is struggling to win in some places along the one thousand three hundred kilometer border with afghanistan the villages set among the premier mountains are so close you can see and hear children playing on the other side. the u.n. estimates around twenty percent of afghan drugs pass through to markets around the world all that separates afghanistan from tajikistan certainly in this region is the river which as you can see in places like this is literally just a few meters wide now international experts say that despite hundreds of millions of dollars having been spent to try and stop the smuggling of drugs from afghanistan across this border the effects indeed the success of domestic

policies with international assistance has been minimal tajikistan's anti narcotic agency was keen to show us how they deal with the drugs they seize bags of opium or hasheesh block boxes of heroin thrown into an incinerator. the government says more than three tons of heroin has been intercepted so far this year. drug traffic by down town is getting lower this shows to better at controlling the situation but the u.n. drugs agency and the u.s. and european governments are regularly accused as you can stand of not doing enough the u.s. says it's believed much of the drugs that moved through the country do so with the help of corrupt police and government officials some international reports estimated drug smuggling accounts for almost a third of tajikistan's economy last year

a record nine thousand tons of opium was produced in afghanistan mainly by armed groups including the taliban almost double the amount from two thousand and sixteen and with little sign of peace in afghanistan it's expected tajikistan will remain a major transit route for drugs on the way to russia china and other countries around the world. all the time afghanistan border. breaking news. story just.

well that's time for sports and more doom and gloom before christmas from manchester united absolutely so while it's a big one yet we start with breaking news in the last hour joe is a marine air has been sacked as manager of manchester united he'll leave with immediate effect following the club's westcott to a season in twenty eight years you know i said we'll be in the three one by live full on sunday which left them at six in the table he weddings takes a back what went wrong for marine year when joe's a member in your arrived at manchester united in twenty six steyn fans were hoping you would prove he was still the special one but he's going to old trafford was not special instead it will be remembered as a disappointment of a his sullen defensive and argumentative approach you know what these men three knew but also mean sri premierships and i want more premierships alone than the other one being managed just to get. siri for me it's all for them

receiving respect and respect and respect so i thought it was clear there was a problem between the reality star players mainly paul pogba a hero for france in their world cup win but failing to produce his best form for united and outspoken against his boss on social media and united soccer at their worst start with things in the needy thirty years but it was with reluctance that the club's reclusive american owners the glazers decided to sack another manager that be criticised for the failures of david moyes and louis van all of the thirty eight trophies in a glorious twenty six year reign of alex ferguson marino was successful in portugal italy spain and twice in england with chelsea particularly his first line from two thousand and four he had a different energy about him in those years but he's second spell at chelsea and it with his dismissal in twenty fifth day in a job that was marred by off the field issues he's treatment of the club's medical

staff mainly eva kenya oh that's a court case and a discrimination settlement in her favor this didn't stop united appointing him and there were bright spots in the air united as they won the english league cup and the europa league in successive seasons but united are used to winning bigger competitions and the executive in runs the car bed woodward has the club after much success in business deals with better football and trophies when you're least manchester with substantial financial compensation having had a contract until twenty twenty one under reported salary of more than twenty million dollars a year but his reputation as a world class coach and serial winner has suffered considerable possibly a reprimand damage al-jazeera ok will leave joins me now live from london has been a terrible start for united to that season but did anyone really think that their management would follow through and sack him. what is because manchester united's

acknowledges with great reluctance look at david moyes and louis vinyl not that was working it was absolutely clear they weren't working and yet the board stuck with it and stuck with it and part of the reason for that is that the owners the american owners of manchester united the glazer family do not like parting with money they've run the club and lot of people criticize them for this as a business not a great football institution alone and therefore this would have been close to a last result they nearly sacked him of course two or three months ago but they stuck with it does suggest that they will now be confident that they do have a long term replacement whether that is someone who comes in at the end of the season or whether it becomes the person who runs the cup for the rest of this season because right now the man on the spot is michael carrick of course but if the man who takes over from arkwright for the rest of this season succeeds they might want to stick with it they will be more currency happening with the board now because they clearly have had a long time to think about this because manchester united simply not performing

nineteen points off the top of the premier league all right so they're going to look for another manager starting today even if they find that manager is it too late to salvage this season. well it's not too late just to salvage this season because of course they scraped through to the knockout stages of the champions league in the league it is still possible you know they won't win the title now but they could get into the premier league top four what we definitely say is the players feeling liberated going it would be no surprise of of course are told to say point bar with the four wind other players who felt that they were restricted there is so much tension between them and jos a marine you know but of course it largely depends on who's in charge as well who takes over from michael carrick for the rest of this season will it be someone like ryan giggs job sharing with worlds will it be a console will it be even our sending guy that's going to be the entry on the yeah

interesting times old trafford les thank you oh where exactly four years from the world cup final encounter will be played on the eighteenth of december twenty twenty two at the le sale stadium the design for the venue was launched just last week it will hold up to eighty thousand fans but with still no closer to finding out if the tournament will be expanded from thirty two teams to forty eight hours as organizers say they won't take a decision until they've seen details of a feasibility study taken by for this governing body of them were able to have the forty eight team issue is being looked into and the outcome of the research will come out in march so far we are happy and proud of our achievements we're still four years away and i hope god will help us to shoulder the responsibility of organizing a tournaments that will give pride to arab countries just. the world of suffering has a new champion gabriel medina won the title in hawaii on monday the brazilian clinched his second world crown with his semifinal victory of the jodi smith on the phone side pipeline on the north shore of oahu event edged out australia's julian wilson
