sure that's good the hell out of sarajevo holiday and hotels on al-jazeera. this is. this is a news hour live for my headquarters in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes three outside power brokers meet to discuss syria's future but their talks ended with no agreement with a government shutdown looming u.s. president donald trump backs away from demands that congress fund his border wall home so this hour al-jazeera tracks down the mass unary with startling revelations about a failed attempt to invade qatar and overthrow its government. about peterson with all the sports chosen merino is second by manchester united the portuguese pope's

ways with the english giants after their worst store to a season in twenty eight years. thank you for joining us the three key power brokers in the syrian conflict have failed to agree on the makeup of a committee that will draft a new constitution and pave the way for elections the foreign ministers of russia iran and turkey met bernard smith was there and has this report. the best of the foreign ministers of turkey russia and iran could come up with was a commitment to agree to take efforts aimed at convening the first session of the syrian constitutional committee here in geneva early next year but there is still no indication on exactly who the hundred fifty members of that constitutional committee are going to be because of this meeting these three countries overlooked by the u.n.

special envoy stephan to the store when i were unable to agree on the final fifteen members of the committee there are fifty from the syrian regime fifty from opposition groups but these other fifty there's a been a lot of haggling on who should be on this committee and who should be on this committee and they clearly haven't been able to agree the final names it was perhaps particularly for straightening for staff and in the store because as he spoke to the press is receiving this was his last statement to the president report to the u.n. secretary general but he's leaving the post and handing over to a norwegian in the new year for the outgoing u.n. special envoy for syria says there's so much further to go before a credible and inclusive committee is established seven minister are steps down on december thirty first after four years leaving his successor to find a un brokered political solution to end the conflicts these conflicts never ended with a wonderful peace or death beige treaty and a conference and everybody embraces each other it is actually

a process that may go on and on until all death and hopefully in the best way for develop people the two constants in this conflict over differ a lot for years one. there's never been a constant moment of anything there being constant shift of what they're being the military events and the facts on the ground and a political position just look where we were four years ago and where we are today second constant. there's always been the syrian people suffering staying with syria the u.s. envoy james jeffrey has confirmed u.s. backed kurdish fighters will move from northern iraq into northern syria the move comes after turkey threatened further military action in the city of man beach near the turkish border unless u.s. backed kurdish fighters leave the area as in a hot area forced. turkish military reinforcements have already been sent to the

border with syria president. says a cross border operation against what he calls terrorists can begin at any moment the target is the u.s. backed syrian democratic forces the s.d.f. is mainly made up of the y.p. g. or kurdish peoples protection units it will be the first time the turkish military has confronted the kurdish armed group on syrian soil but if this offensive does happen it will be the first time turkish troops are targeting the group east of the euphrates river where its nato ally the united states stations its troops. or do guns announcement followed a visit by u.s. syria envoy chip jeffrey to ankara last week jeffrey said he told the turks their plans offensive is a bad idea u.s. support for the why peachey has strained relations but jeffrey confirmed arrangements are being made to address turkey's concerns the.

deployment across the border. with our understanding but also with the understanding of the ocean so. that's one of the various steps that are being taken to. the white peachy in the peshmerga are viable kurdish forces but kurds in northern iraq are allies of the us and turkey they are likely to be deployed along the borders between syria turkey and iraq the y.p. she controls a continuous strip of territory from iraq to the eastern banks of the euphrates river almost thirty percent of syria's territory the first one is any two programs p. y. g.'s y. p. g.'s territorial continuity alongside the turkey's border and for kids planning to infiltrate into syrian territory the white peachy already enjoys self rule which turkish leaders reject because they believe the white peachey is an extension of the outlawed kurdistan workers' party the p.k. k. which is fighting for kurdish autonomy in south east turkey. for that we have said

and we are saying that no we will begin our operation to rescue the east of the euphrates from the separatist organization within a few days turkey says any operation would not target u.s. troops but the white b.g. is an important element in washington's syria strategy and the trump administration's only syria ally giving its leverage and influence in any political settlement turkish leaders know that and are treading carefully so as not to rupture a relationship with a strategically important ally. the u.s. envoy for syria is now stressing washington's ties with i. armed groups in northern syria are tactical temporary and transactional such a description is unlikely to please the wife or satisfy turkish leaders but the u.s. says steps are being taken turkey has had to say whether they are enough to prevent military action there is stumbled. in other world news for explosions have

interrupted the first day of a fragile cease fire in the many port city of data. behind the blasts the country's warring sides agreed to a choice at political talks in sweden last week john jewelry force. as the cease fire officially began on tuesday night sporadic fighting was reported to have continued for a time in and around the besieged port city of her data as the hours passed the situation appeared to become calmer but it remains fragile some worry that could block much needed aid from getting in this is one of the problem of the. agreement because it has. the flow of human he did it with the security as it was and. to be honest actually. allow food and medicine first come into into even though. because i.

have said before that if i but isn't over. is coming today that. yemen is suffering what the u.n. calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis aide workers say the situation around her remains desperate. invitation to get access to care she key. data in. the city for example. the access to care. from. which is. in sweden last week representatives from the who the movement and the saudi u.a.e. backed government the president. agreed not only to pull back fighters but also to establish humanitarian corridors and to allow for the deployment of you in supervised neutral forces for now many yemenis hope that this truce will hold no

matter how tenuous the situation on the ground remains. as part of that agreement international monitors will be deployed to oversee the ceasefire our diplomatic editor james bays explains on the united nations my understanding is the man who's coming up with the plans general patrick is going to chair the first meeting of the coordination commission committee of the two sides so he'll have the yemeni government who have the who thiis on video link you'll be in new york that'll take place here on wednesday and then going forward he himself will travel we believe by the end of the week to yemen with a small team and they'll be the assessment team trying to come up with a plan for exactly how many monitors they're going to need on the ground all the problems the u.n. is facing here is the talks in stockholm actually achieve much more than they were

expecting and so the u.n. is in a real hurry to try and set up this monitoring team and find the monitor monitors from a number of different countries my understanding is these people will be from a military background but we're also hearing that they will go into this hostile area this fragile cease fire in place so dangerous place for the u.n. to deploy and they'll go in unarmed and we understand not wearing military uniforms . yes president donald trump has backed down on his demand for five billion dollars for border wall in an effort to avoid a partial government shutdown funding for several federal government agencies expires on friday a failure to agree on a budget because the hundreds of thousands of government workers sent home without pay just before christmas mike hanna has this update from washington. well a week ago president trump said he would be proud to shutdown the government should he not get the five billion dollars for his border wall in the budget however he

now appears to be retreating from this rather extreme position in that they are other avenues for raising the funds being explored this is what the white house press secretary had to say we're looking at every avenue available to us possible the president's asked every one of his cabinet secretaries to look for funding that can be used and to protect our borders and for that give the president the ability to fulfill his constitutional obligation to protect the american people the having a secure border but a shutdown still not averted democrats of turned down a compromise republican offer of a one point five billion dollar amount for border security not the wall but democratic leader nancy pelosi says this would amount to giving president trump a one billion dollars slush fund as she put it but neither side of the aisle once a shutdown just before christmas and most observers believe that there will be some kind of short term extension agreed on. plenty more ahead on this al-jazeera news

hour including sentencing is delayed for donald trump's former national security adviser after he's criticized by the judge brass with barely one hundred days to go until breaks it to recent days government says it's making preparations for the u.k. to leave the e.u. without an exit deal and boss alone a superstar strike and messy receives yet another accolade be it will tell us what it is coming up in sports. to. first see you many mother unable to travel to the u.s. to see her dying son because of president trump's travel ban has received a waiver shamus wally is technically banned from entering the u.s. to just travel restrictions on mostly muslim countries has been had to appeal to the state department to sign a waiver so she could see her son the two year old is on a life support machine at

a california hospital let's speak to john hendren who is live for us now in oakland california john you've just met the father of two year old abdullah. that's right and behind me inside the hospital is one of the youngest people to suffer from the trump travel band little adele is true years old he's got a degenerative brain disorder and two years ago when his parents were married they were all living in yemen he was staying in yemen with his mother but he was growing sicker and as he did he was sharing hospital space with the victims in the dead of the war in yemen so eventually that family brought their child to cairo the husband ali who i talked to a little earlier is an american citizen and like his son so he brought his son here hoping that the mother could come but eventually the travel ban kicked into effect

and then he after being told that he would receive a visa for him that his wife he was told that that probably was not going to happen any time soon and he waited and he waited and finally he gave up on the trumpet ministration and he spoke directly yesterday to the american public by holding a news conference and he says had he not done that the u.s. government probably would not have reacted and his son would have died without ever seeing his mother again this is a bit of what he had to say to be honest a chance to be honest like right now i mean. if. you know with. her. the day that she gave it to me on september the last thing she said she would regret everything. well now we have heard on choose day that the u.s.

has actually granted a waiver to that travel ban the mother is actually on her way to the united states she will arrive near here i mean oakland now she will arrive in san francisco tomorrow on wednesday reuniting the family and if she comes in time she will be able to hold her son once again but the doctors say it is simply days until his life is over john thank you very much for that john hendren reporting there live from oakland in california. a u.s. federal judge has delayed sentencing for president tom's former national security advisor michael fay in the case as part of an investigation of possible into possible collusion between chomsky campaign and russia in the run up to the twenty six thousand election from washington patty culhane reports. was the phrase he coined locker up following michael flynn as he enters federal court. after all is a key campaign advisor to donald trump this was his line bought her that's right.

here. but now it's not the president's past political opponent but flynn himself facing time behind bars because he got paid by turkey during the campaign and didn't disclose it and he lied to the f.b.i. about his contacts with russians the judge not holding back his disgust or disdain he told flynn he sold out his country and even asked why he wasn't being charged with treason when it was clear flynn was likely facing much more than the zero to six months recommended by the prosecution the judge gave flynn more time to cooperate mr flynn could have just said i want to be sentenced now the reason why he didn't because he expected the judge to throw him into the slammer for a while. and he must of thought in my judgment that there were additional things that he could contribute to the mall or investigation or other companion investigations otherwise the delay isn't going to do him any good at the white

house the president and his spokesman continue to defend their former national security adviser by blaming the people who investigated him what we do know that was inappropriate by our own self admits of james comey is that the f.b.i. broke standard protocol in a way that they came in an ambush in real flan in the way that they flush in him or the term supporters have been arguing that flynn was set up by the f.b.i. but in court flynn himself admitted that wasn't true then and after hearing from the judge it's clear the next time he returns to court a man who once could walk into the oval office could be leaving in handcuffs michael flynn locked up. political here in washington. and the u.s. president's charity the charm foundation has agreed to shut down as one of a legal battle with the state of new york the foundation is a major operated as an extension of donald trump's businesses and political

campaign if the state will have to pay fountains in penalties and will be barred from running other charities the foundation's lawyers say they've been planning to close it for months and any legal violations were minor gave it elizondo has more from new york. new york attorney general barbara underwood gave us gave ing rebuke of the way the trump foundation work she said there was a shocking pattern of illegality involving the trump foundation including unlawful coordination with the trump presidential campaign and in a statement she said that the trump foundation function to little more than a personal checkbook for donald trump to serve for his business and political interests a century the trump foundation was used by trump to pay for legal bills related to his business even pay for a piece of artwork for one of his golf clubs and also make an illegal political

donation now the trump foundation overall is a very small part of the trump organization portfolio was founded in one thousand nine hundred eight and at its peak it had about three million dollars it was run by donald trump and three of his children evolve don jr and eric there's about two million dollars remaining in the foundation that will now be distributed to. needy organizations but it will be a court that will oversee that distribution of the final remaining money now trump it should be noted has said that the foundation has done nothing wrong and that this lawsuit from the new york attorney general is nothing more than politically motivated but attorney general barbara underwood has said that this is an important victory for the rule of law making it clear there is one set of rules for everybody while the trump foundation will be shut down the lawsuit into ily illegal illegal activities related to it will continue fail schneider is a political analyst and

a public policy professor at george mason university says revelations from multiple investigations are likely to put donald trump on the spot. it certainly doesn't bode well for mr flint general flynn and it does not bode well for mr trump because it appears that michael flynn was acting as an unregistered foreign agent on behalf of the turkish government this is not russia now this is turkey and that could be a very serious federal crime and i think he's trying to do what he can to show that he wants to cooperate he wants to he wants the same to the federal authorities want to do whatever he can to minimize his jail sentence which now looks quite substantial the walls are closing in you have the new york attorney general is making charges that his foundation was phony and might have it might have current committed crimes and she's shutting it down and selling off its assets that foundation appears to been used by trump and his organization as a slush fund and many laws made might have been broken by the use of that money

certainly in new york state and there's the charges that we know about about whether he knew what he appears to have known about the hush money paid to women by the publication in miami and by michael cohen that too could have been a crime a campaign violence finance violation they were just problems after problems after problems that are closing in on president jump but he tends not to notice these things he thinks he can get out of them all. and i'll just say our investigation has revealed evidence involving sanjay arabia the u.a.e. egypt and bahrain in support of a failed attempt to invade kata in one nine hundred ninety six the revelations coming eighteen months after the same four nations imposed a land sea and eberle kade on wanted idle reports. paul bottle is a former french naval off saw tom soldier of fortune the mustn't of that midst have led all taken part in at least one hundred illegal military operations across the

globe. his well known for both successful and failed coup attempts in africa and the middle east. we don't know about i'm a dangerous man because i speak truth to power. and they do not take risks and i have no problem going deep into any operation. operations he participated in include ending the one thousand seven to nine siege in maka islam's holiest site and the failed coup attempt in qatar in one thousand nine to six. algis it is investigation unit traced but all phone interview in the south of france where he revealed details of that failed coup in qatar two to two years ago . i mean humbert been highly furth and it took over the year before in one thousand nine to five unhappy with a change over the place. and other messages to cut out the coup but i'll

say as the committee was organized by a committee led by some of the then chief of staff of the united arab emirates forces his now crown prince of up with. the regional committee also included should how much been. done companies of bahrain as well as. been of the laws these then so did a b s defense minister an almost silliman egypt's former vice president the late intelligence chief but all was already known to them without the leadership that. i arrived in abu dhabi in one nine hundred seventy seven i helped them form a special security unit i knew i would be very well the same with saudi i ran the mecca operation and i trained the saudi secret service in abu dhabi i met she exiled himself who held my arm and to the other side it was she. we want all three together because they knew i was the one who formed

a special elite force in abu dhabi police. so who funded the autumn to how much to coast but they were. going to like them a lot of the. chicks died in saudi arabia did they paid for the weapons in my estimate the cost of the entire operation was at least one hundred million dollars bottle told full two of his top men to take part in the cool petition. thing we pretended we were a sports team we came to train in abu dhabi we skied we played basketball no one knew that we had weapons stored in our rooms and the upper floors of the hotel and we were planning a military operation we had a conference hall all to ourselves and we stored tons of weapons there. after taking control of military and security his televisions he says. the coup plotters

in qatar want to give the green light for militias to cross the border from neighboring so did it be. a call from then french president jacques chirac says but will help scuttle the coup plotters plan. and think i got a call and it was president jacques chirac he told me beryl i hope you're not planning to carry out any reckless act in sheen friends i told him no problem mr president i told him not to worry i'm here to calm things down i knew i had to slow things down. his revelations come a ten months into the land sea and air blockade imposed by so did abia the u.a.e. behind on egypt and their allies qatar denies accusations of supporting what they call terrorism how to diplomats say their neighbors have long tried to meddle in their internal affairs and say the blockade and cutting off of diplomatic relations last year is just another episode of the ongoing attempt to change qatar's

going to welcome back to your national weather forecast well the remnants from a storm that way made its way on land here in india is now pushing a lot of moisture across parts of china over the next few days you know some rain right here on wednesday that all originated out here towards india and now the system of the remnants of the system is making its way across western parts of china snow in the higher elevations there but as we go towards thursday a lot of that rain was very quickly over here towards the east so shanghai you'll be seeing some rain in your forecast for joe could be seeing some rain as well but for hong kong it is going to be a partly cloudy day with the time to they have about twenty six degrees down here towards the self-knowledge into bad for parts of the philippines especially to the north over here towards thailand and also drying out compared to what we have seen before down towards the south though plenty of rain in the forecast for qual in the poor as well as singapore temperatures there were many into the thirty's maybe getting up to about thirty four degrees for kuala lumpur but bangkok isn't quite nice for the terms of their of thirty four degrees and then across india well much

better conditions as a cyclon did move out you can see those clouds right there dry conditions down here towards the south but we are going to be watching a system out here towards a bamboo pole bring some rain possibly towards sri lanka tempter there of thirty degrees in kolkata a temperature of twenty three. the weather sponsored by cats are a race. culture adored by millions like a stone's most famous critic to arrive just prime minister on a blaze of national celebration. now one hundred days into his leadership people in power asks whether delivering on promises will be as easy in practice as it was in theory. right now the nation is not feeling confident right all people are disappointed with the government in moran's one hundred days on al-jazeera from.

al jazeera. you read every your. you're watching the news on al-jazeera a reminder of our top stories turkey russia and iran have failed to agree on the makeup of the committee that would drop syria's new constitution and pave the way for elections there foreign ministers were meeting in geneva they say of trying to ensure the committee convenes early next year and there are reports of at least

four explosions on the first day of u.n. brokered cease fire a u.n. brokered cease fire in the many poor city of her data it's not clear who was behind the blasts and u.s. president donald trump has backed down on his demand for five billion dollars for a border wall is trying to end the standoff over federal spending and avoid a partial government shutdown by the end of the week. online holiday rental company air b.n. b. has denied reversing a ban on property listings in illegal settlements in the occupied west bank earlier the israeli tourism ministry said had backed down from its decision after threats of legal action in israel and the us the firm announced last month it would be removing those properties from its listing stephanie decker has more from the legal israeli settlement of fronts in the occupied west bank. the fact that a delegation from air b.n. b. came to drew slim to meet with israel's tourism minister gives an indication of just how much pressure the israelis are putting on the company to reverse its

decision and there was some confusion on tuesday initially indicating that air b.n. b. may be reversing its decision to stop its listings in illegal settlements in the occupied west bank you're looking at a fraud this is one of the settlements there are still listings in a fraud and also all across the west bank really erin we always said at the time november when it made the statement that this would take time to implement but interestingly certainly it shows how israel is concerned about one of these major international companies highlighting the issue of illegal settlements so this is what the delegation is doing hair made it very clear in the statement tuesday evening that this wasn't part of the b.d.s. movement boycott divestment and sanctions that this was in a political move and that it was told and all sides and what it understood was what they called a complicated and emotional issue and so i have to wait and see of any other statements in may but at the moment everyone says everybody says it meant tames its policy that it will stop these listings that moment the listings continue to be

advertised meanwhile the outgoing u.s. ambassador to the u.n. has accused the united nations of being quote hopelessly biased towards palestinians and against israelis in a final address to the un security council nikki haley says the only way forward is a peace process driven by the us president it is time we faced a hard truth both sides would benefit greatly from a peace agreement but the palestinians would benefit more and the israelis would risk more it is with this backdrop in mind that the trumpet ministration has crafted its plan for peace between israel and the palestinians i don't expect anyone to comment on a peace proposal they have not read. but i have read it and i will share some thoughts on it now. unlike previous attempts at addressing this conflict this plan

is not just a few pages containing unspecific and on imagine an guidelines it is much longer it contains much more thoughtful detail education workers in a number of u.s. states second planing that their work contracts include language preventing them from supporting palestinian rights in texas a federal lawsuit has been filed on behalf of a speech pathologist named by. she says she was forced to leave her job in a public school district a contract offered required her not to engage in any boycott of israeli products across as is required under recently introduced state laws now a majority of u.s. states have legislation in place to counter the boy court divestment sanctions movement which is seeking a peaceful end to the israeli occupation of east jerusalem and the west bank through economic pressure as of november twenty twenty as of november a twenty six states have laws preventing individuals and corporations from

announcing a boycott of israeli owned businesses thirteen other states have also introduced or have similar laws awaiting approval let's speak some more about this not to. go on who's an opinion editor at the forward which is a magazine that focuses on politics and culture from an american jewish perspective she's rise cut from neo very good to have you with us on al-jazeera so i understand that you oppose the b.d.s. the boycott divestment sanction israel movement but you also think that this untied b.d.'s via the israel oath is counterproductive productive tell us why. as as many jews do i find myself increasingly aware of anti semites who also boycott israel at the same time i don't find the boycott itself to be anti-semitic i find myself unable to support it mostly because palestinian friends of mine who are after this in the west bank find themselves frequently at

odds with the leadership of the b.b.s. movement so in that sense i find t.v.'s to be problematic both for jews and for passing in at this same time these laws are completely unconstitutional the idea that somebody should not be able to privately is a private citizen united states of america the place where you know free speech is supposed to be the ultimate in the world that a person should not be able to follow their conscience and a poem an injustice that we can all admit is happening to palestinians in israel in the west bank that a person should not be able to follow their conscience and in a nonviolent way protest an injustice is absolutely crazy any more all right and what's interesting is that this old supply is exclusive aid to israel and this is a law that exists in more than twenty states i'm curious to know how do you know american jews view this particular is ralph. you know something i'm noticing is a lot of jews who like me or even more than new york who is the b.d.s.

movement are now coming out against these oath and it's really shocking as americans you know as american jews were both american and jewish thirty american piece of us is a very propre speech and the jewish people increasingly thanks to tromp is coming to recognize the right of the palestinians and coming to really realize that you know a public b.d.'s in the courts is just absolutely wrong. b.d.s. campaign against israeli occupation is as we've said a nonviolent movement and it certainly seems to have transformed the debate a by the israeli palestinian conflict do you think the way israel has responded to this movement has given it. i mean ition for lack of a better word hundred percent i think that israel's response has been completely so we say disproportionate i think of us would have disappeared if israel hadn't opposed it so vociferously and it doubly ironic because the b.d.s.

movement i think has failed in many ways but especially economically innisfail to actually pose a threat to israel so really it's himes israel's reputation and doubly so because israel has put it on the map with increasingly ridiculous forms of opposition to it like foreign jews american jews who support the white cotton and during its around why you think politicians are not willing to push back against it. i think in america israel has always been third rail and it's increasingly become the fos specially in egypt trump when american jews because they are so united in opposition to trump and seventy three percent of american jews voted for hillary clinton so because of his opposition to trump american jews are really realizing that their opposition to him is extending its well to a lot of that it's on yahoo administration's policies and it and trump stanch really has heard of foreign upon israel as well because he's so purse with no time jarome here's a needle in

a tiny elderly worst tendencies of the racist nation state belgrade sample is something that the american jewish community really found horrifying. very interesting to talk to and hear this thank you so much for joining us on just there it's much thank you the u.k. government is making preparations in the event the country crashes without a deal next march that just over one hundred days to go before the u.k. is you to leave the block with parliament in deadlock ministers have a great to step up planning for a no deal break said thousands of military personnel are on standby for any civil disruption menaces are also sending letters to one hundred forty thousand firms advising them about preparations lawrence lee has more from london. of course to the full position for the u.k. if the parliament here votes down to raise a maze proposed deal to leave the european union is in the u.k. crashes out without any deal it's all and in this last cabinet meeting before parliament breaks up for christmas they've been discussing ramping up no deal

scenarios even things that were suggested like the government's emergency committee known as cobra which only usually meets when the something like a terrorist attack meeting every day in the new year before the meaningful vote just to make sure that the country's prepared for a no deal and there are some fairly biblical warnings of things like the u.k. running out of food or medicines or all the airports closing in dirty drinking water all the sorts of stuff which of course people who don't mind in the deal say as an inside scare but people who say it could be disastrous then say to them well how do you know that the country's going to be ok and why would you want to risk it and that's pilots reason mase argument too because other than staying in the european union and abandoning the inside projects three's a maze argument says look we don't have to have no deal we could have mali deal which keeps the u.k. in the customs union with the european union for some time keeps the traffic moving through the borders and therefore you get around all these problems in the

psychological game that's now being played with m.p.'s it's to send them home have a christmas and get in the bill it's on to think and hope that they change their minds and end up not actually going against about supporting sarees amaze deal when it comes back to a vote in the middle of january belgium's prime minister has resigned after losing a vote of confidence sharon michelle had been leading a minority government for a week after his coalition partners walked out of the airlines the flemish nationalist party quit over michelle's decision to sign a un migration pact that critics say would increase migration into europe and so violent protests in belgium over the weekend and rallies attended by far right leaders including france's nine of ten and american safe ban it. an inquiry into zimbabwe has found military action against protesters in august was disproportionate and unjustified six people died and dozens were injured in fighting after the election. for some harare the report which was presented to

it is here with a moment to say this. thank

you very much manchester united have thanked him for his work during his time at the club and wish him success in the future the english joined cech the portuguese as manager following the club's worst start to a season in twenty eight years united were beaten three one by liverpool on sunday which left them sixth in the table lee winnings takes

a look back at what went wrong for marine year when joe same every new arrived at manchester united in twenty six steyn fans were hoping he 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 for his sullen defensive and argumentative approach you know what these men three knew but also me in sri premierships and i won more premierships alone then managed to get. see for me it's all for them receiving was virtually a risk rather than respect so. it was clear there was a problem between the radio to stop 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 nearly thirty years but it was with were locked and that the clubs were close of american owners the grazes decided to sack another

manager they've been 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 writing 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 cops 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 marine 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 clobbered woodward has the club after much success in business deals with better football and trophies the players are not playing for him so hopefully we'll see

a different. yet hopefully see if different weather play to change i mean look at look at his demeanor look at look at it looked at him in terms of the way he's an absolute misery this guy. criticizing his own players in public. is signings are. often when you're least manchester with substantial financial compensation having had a contract until twenty twenty one and the reported salary of more than twenty million dollars per year. but his reputation as a world class coach and serial winner has suffered considerable possibly where people damage al-jazeera. now that marino is gone manchester united will be looking to rebuild itself the wailings has more well over the past few weeks and months to joe's a marina ever was absolutely painful to watch it was clear that the players in the manchester united dressing room just did not want to be playing under him will certainly key players didn't lead by paul pogba the french world cup winner who

seem to take a glade in the departure of marino when he's received criticism for that but you do suspect there is every chance that poker will stop performing under a new manager it was just that marino was really discredited by the end of his right you could make a case and i did that when marino first joined manchester united that hired him as the man with the reputation over many years of success but not the man who'd actually got to the end of it chose the right and had problems off the pitch and had a solemn demeanor actually i think they appointed him more in hope than the expectation that he could deliver the major trophies that manchester united need and the way united has been one has a lot of critics this is like it's a business by the glazers in america by edward with the man who runs the club from england and actually they need to get back so the traditions of the card playing good football and winning trophies there was high drama at the fever club world cup
