say above colvin they clogged in. on slum poulomi yes i think when you know war was. included he needed it good and. he says this may be. the. symbolism. competition amongst the african players is tough. those in the terraces weren't able to earn a place in the tournament like peter kenyon in a dire situation. having arrived in thailand on a tourist visa he was exploited by his club manages one gorge conducted we in the us you four hundred drug industry or the whole world would be willing to move will into a club in sort of you do are much work now but i didn't leave for the five it was mine there's no money and just no doesn't. how desiring to move up into being how

phone calls from african hopefuls on a daily basis and is it going to be. visible and you have to. sit down next to the baby tunes. as soon as the doors of the thai eldorado are closing faced with a surge of candidates the thai federation has cut down the coach or a foreign play is allowed into the leeds. city shareef nonetheless allowed to touch through to and to thailand hiroshi latter allowing him to pass through customs but stopped short of offering him a contract. to. your allies on his faith to see him through the day. her husband. didn't know. about the

plot and he said. you think of it. in the conference. hall. if you think i'm thinking. anything. different. from. all of the tough seals sort of finally decide on is a canadian here anything to do nothing to see in the desert it's all in the. i think the last few. seconds the first half of it all in on the locals i seem. to say one is young to me. in on the skin of my time its infancy.

a few other african players join the group. when picking his team the coach gives them priority. will have to wait. why are you going through withdrawal from wa wa if you're with muslim man united ok i mean i'm honestly my family and i do want him along with the mayor and i want him one to get a good fit. and the friendly is going nowhere. tosser and gets on for the last twenty minutes. an instant playmaker to give says his old. tosser room makes a decisive cross. good coach. she's impressed.

you're watching al-jazeera live from doha i'm fully back to go also coming up on his way out much earlier at u.s. secretary of defense now has just days left in the job. doctors joined protests seems to die out on a fifth day of demonstrations and it was late to get on board but now trains that transforming travel around weeks. a country that sits on what's known as the ring of fire is dealing with yet another catastrophe a tsunami in indonesia asking that these two hundred twenty two people and injured more than eight hundred others scientists say it was triggered by undersea landslides from the eruption of the volcano on that. the tsunami swept along the so

industry and crash twenty meters inland taking with it hundreds of homes and hotels on the shores of java and sumatra islands there is andrew thomas is near the disaster zone and sent us this update. concerts by the indonesian pop band seventeen in western java came to an abrupt end when waves from the tsunami swept away the stage musician and fans. the water flowed up to twenty meters inland killing dozens and injuring hundreds more and we. give them more so there are so four weeks ago here in the region you know under our metre two metres so this could have been much worse in these years meteorology and geophysics agency believes the waves could have been caused by an undersea landslide from the eruption of krakatau that's a volcanic island formed over the years from the nearby crocodile volcano search and rescue operations are now underway for survivors who were very strictly family

kids kids we're people that are treated. worse because this is a traumatic event to special be given all of the things the indonesians suffered in the last you know four months in september more than two thousand people were killed by quake and tsunami that hit the city of pallu on the island of subtle ways in which is just east of borneo indonesia in the ring of fire it's it's it's there's always volcanic eruptions happening there always sometimes there are tsunamis. and it's really no more active than normal actually it's just every now and then there's a confluence of events which unfortunately results in people being kind of literally swept up in these disasters the number of casualties from this disaster over a holiday weekend is expected to increase as rescuers reach affected areas and there

are already hundreds of rescue workers in that disaster zone in parts because of how close is it to jakarta indonesia its capital where all the emergency services are based the fear now is of a second. tsunami if more volcanic activity causes more on the water landslides and that's why i'm here in chile going about five kilometers inland from the coast up a hill the authorities are saying that nobody should be along that coastline tonight in the dock in case another wife hits under thomas out is there a chill down in the knees here already we spoke to david rothery a professor of planetary sciences that the open university and he explains how the instability be know the surface may be to blame for the tsunami death or it wasn't caused by a big earthquake which is the usual cause the tsunamis that we think of it connects we're going to neisha it was related to a collapse under water of the island cracker time the trouble this is broken it

collapses and not directly related to a particular eruption which is happening servicemen are not crack a time that's been erupting off and on all year and into several years prior to this and it's quite spectacular you can see the red hot lava coming out sometimes but that wasn't especially ruction that happened which caused this landslide what happened was as a as the island has grown up with enough it's built shore politics has become steeper and steeper and eventually parts we presume became to state to be stable and it collapsed and that's what displace the seawater which caused the weight but if you're washing it the instant it happened you want to see it was secular erupted event going on above sea level it's just that it gots to state to be stable and this is what's going to happen spillane continues to grow there will be other collapses some of which might cause tsunamis it doesn't mean there's another one imminent now we could go a long time before the next. in other world news the u.s. defense secretary now just has days left in the job james mattis resigned

a few days ago and is now leading the polls on january the first two months earlier than expected or a few minutes ago president trump tweeted this saying i am pleased to announce that very talented deputy secretary of defense patrick shanahan will assume the title of acting defense secretary starting january first twenty nineteen patrick he says has a long list of accomplishments wants serving as deputy and previously bowing he will be greats let's bring in john hendren in washington for us so john mattes was supposed to stay on until the end of february but he's leaving next week why. that's right foley that was an unceremonious kick out the door that tweet you just read the president has not been happy about the coverage of james madison a man he brought into the administration calling him mad dog like he was a close friend but instead the president has been upset on the sunday talk shows a number of people both republicans and democrats have expressed their unhappiness

with the loss of jim mattis and it's probably no coincidence that it was within hours of this sunday talk shows i'm going to read a statement by dick durbin a democrat from illinois you said i was one of those who told mattis to please stay as long as you possibly can it goes on to say we counted on him to be here and stop this president from his worst impulses now mattis in his resignation letter dated on december twentieth went on to explain that part of his problem was about the treatment of the allies this of course was in response to the president's tweet announcing apparently without consulting that is that the united states was pulling its two thousand troops out of syria in his resignation letter within twenty four hours of that he said my views on treating allies with respect and also being clear eyed about both malign actors and strategic competitors are very strongly held and informed by over four decades of immersion on those issues he said he was resigning

because the president deserves a secretary of defense whose views are better aligned with yours. one thing maddest did not do in that letter while expressing gratitude for serving in the armed forces he didn't thank the president and the president tends to like people who do that he may have telegraphed what he was going to do on saturday night when very late he he sent out another tweet saying when president obama ingloriously fire jim matheson i gave him a second chance and he went on to say allies are very important but not when they take advantage of the u.s. so fully this is this seems clearly to be a kick out the door for jim matheson to tell us more about the man who will replace him the acting defense secretary will his use be more aligned with the president's . well one presumes that that will be the case this is patrick shanahan he's a former senior vice president for the boeing corporation another example of somebody in the trumpet ministration who has worked for the industry before working

for the government often a government agency that regulates that industry in this case from that buys from that industry so shanahan is somebody we don't know a lot about yet because madison is profile has loomed so large over that agency but the pentagon is apparently satisfied with the move just minutes ago putting out a statement saying the secretary of defense serves at the pleasure of the president the department remains focused on national security meaning in other words that the department will go on doing business as usual and in just the last few minutes since i sat down here the president has tweeted yet again pointing out that he just had a long and productive call with president erdogan of turkey he said we discussed isis our mutual involvement and syria suggesting he has doubled down on his decision to pull u.s. forces out of syria and that of course leaves a vacuum that russia and turkey would have to film thank you for that john hendren

live for us in washington d.c. while the french president to mannion michael says he deeply regrets donald trump's decision to pull its troops from syria he said i very deeply regret the u.s. decision on syria and i would like to pay tribute to general mattis and what he wrote in his resignation that i have witnessed over the last year and a half of how reliable general mattis has been missed that he has a westernized meaning of what being allies was being allies it's fighting short by shoulder. on meanwhile the tech is sending soldiers to the syrian border following thompson announcement he would withdraw troops turkish president rochette type that one has threatened to strike why beads utah gets in the north of the country then to hold every force. the turkey syria border. turkish military reinforcements are being sent deep into syria to the front lines north of the city of mumbai the message turkey is sending is that it's ready to use force if membership is not
