the syrian army on friday to enter man beach and protect the city from a possible turkish attack that follows a decision by u.s. president donald trump to withdraw all two thousand u.s. soldiers from northern syria but mamma doe joins us live now from that's on the turkey syria border mohammed so reports of turkish tanks unama seen massing on the border what more can you tell us. while the military buildup is till going on in the war on the border of the common border between turkey and syria overnight we saw columns of tongues rolling into that's home on the other side of the border the city and town of get up and of people celebrating they are on the turkish forces watch in bull stunts and armored personnel carriers also preparing themselves for possible bottled in monday's up to sixteen thousand city and the rebels who are allied to tuckey so.

is what is happening but it but it's only an honest but the why is the kurdish fighters he sees as a terrorist organization invited the city and redeem forces to protect them and they say they are not allowed them to enter the tunnel but. police the border. and stop any offensive turkey might cut out on the city and we know that russia and turkey have agreed to coordinate with each other in northern syria at this meeting between the turks and the russians in moscow so what else so expecting or hoping to come out of this meeting. well the meeting of the one of the hall was also talks both the foreign minister of

russia and he's a turkish counterpart kev alt address journalist talking about how they had agreed to coordinate. all the ground in both is the bottle of city with a view off as they say at i d k to ten of these at a moment's thought is possibly to do with the remnants of. also means that kurdish fighters who are all holding up to a thought to post sent all tended city of city if. the mention of the respecting that tended toward the integrity of syria according to diplomats would mean going to roll city and begin forces who seem to have gotten a foothold without invitation they got from that cut this fight is over it's a moment of the gaziantep on the turkey syria border thank you well let's accept mccovey middle east experts at the russian international affairs council he says moscow and ankara will be looking to strike

a deal in northern syria. i think that the both both sides rushing turkey they want to avoid any major light scale escalation on the ground so this is why both ministers foreign minister and defense minister came to discuss and try to reach a acceptable compromise. for all parties not only moscow and ancora but also for kurds for for damascus because the equation now is getting more and more complicated if we again if we take into account that americans really withdraw from from syria that it adds more uncertainty and unpredictability because that would depend on how kurds would negotiate with moscow and damascus on terms to be incorporated back under the damascus control which can sour potentially sour relations between moscow and on the security forces in egypt say they have killed forty people they're calling

terrorists jim a gun battle following an attack on a tourist bus three foreigners and their egyptian guide died in that bomb blast just outside cairo on friday it happened near the ancient permits of giza and as this report. a burned out shell all the trimmings support to a bus hit by a roadside bomb near cairo. we saw people carry the dead bodies some people brought the wounded inside an ambulance to take them to hospital and residents of the area helped carry the injured all of them were told. fourteen vietnamese tourists were on board when the bomb exploded in a district close to the giza pyramids in the hope that sometimes attacks such as this one can of course it may even happen again in the future and it isn't a country in the world where we can say is one hundred percent safe. tourists in egypt have been increasingly targeted as the government tries to suppress armed

groups in the sinai peninsula tourism is key to egypt's struggling economy were you doing the signaling to the egyptian regime that they're moving out of their own territory and now attacking the very primary source of income for many egyptians that thirty percent of the economy goes to tourism. within hours of the bombing the egyptian government published photographs it said showed some of what it called thirty suspected militants killed by security forces in raids in cairo's giza district egypt's government says the men had been planning attacks on tourists and state institutions a further ten armed fighters are reported to have been killed in the north of the sinai peninsula i think a lot of people would be asking how is it that within hours of this attack this large number of suspects was not only identified but in gauged in successfully killed if the intelligence within egypt is that good why were there not able to

detect and disrupt this attack the remaining victims of the blast are being treated in hospital meanwhile investigators are trying to work out how a tourist bus could be bombed egypt's heavily secured capital rob matheson al-jazeera. well egypt's economy relies heavily on tourism it's worth billions of dollars a year but the number of tourists fell from almost fifteen million in twenty ten to fewer than five and a half million in twenty sixteen the two thousand and eleven uprising led to political uncertainty which kept some visitors away the standing of two german woman in twenty seventeen also had an effect on tourist figures. now the un says who the rebels in yemen are withdrawing from a date as part of a ceasefire deal agreement was signed in sweden earlier this month all parties are opening up routes to allow aid through starting with the data to some our road on the salaries of all the civil servants in our data will finally be paid this month

people in the yemeni city of ties are calling on the local government to give them better security hundreds of people rallied the center of the city protesting against a number of killings they say gangs are working in the province which is the cause of instability they want local authorities to crack down on criminal gangs operating in the area and stay in yemen and saudi u.s. forces fighting there using child soldiers that's according to interviews given to the new york times thousands of young men from sadam have reportedly been recruited to fight with a promise of a ten thousand dollars salary report says more experienced fighters from the tribal militias in darfur once known as the jungle weed are also fighting in yemen and lead deployments witnesses say sudanese soldiers are often ordered to the front lines while saudi and amorality offices remain in safer areas where catherine shut down as a research by un center for strategic studies she says saudi arabia must be held to account. as far as the the issue of child soldiers is concerned this is not the

first time that this idea have you know have to answer to such allegations they have used soldiers not just in yemen but across the world you know three to five they will basically and no i'm still whole has that actually challenge them whenever we have tried an expert have raised the issue it was always kind of shut down you know by the saudi lobby so i think that it is it is a good way i think it's a good progress today in a sense that this is coming out of the new york times and they should be talked about because this would you have committed a great many will crime not just in yemen by thinking several other country including sudan of course and it's time you know for us to talk about it and actually challenge the saudi government and hold them accountable for the crime that they have committed and i'm afraid that so far it hasn't been done so i think that you know these these peace agreements in yemen in these development for the united nations is a really good step forward in trying to i think to launder inforced riyadh's you know to to face up to the crime that if we didn't continue to commit by the way. it

is prime minister says he wants to stop bomb sales to saudi arabia just the qantas says he intends to take an official stamberg in selling weapons used for the war in yemen the government announced last october it was considering the move for the murder of a journalist from out of children. the truth of the mirror must be established at any cost this comes in line with the general idea of stopping arms sales to saudi we will monitor the kingdom's behavior over the coming weeks after that a decision will be made we do not prefer to sell arms to saudi arabia and it is now a matter of translating this desire into an official stance then evaluate the outcomes and then respond on that basis plus more thoughts coming on the news hour including helping her brother hasn't died in vain the people pushing to change the democratic republic of congo's election. turning scraps into something to lucius and nutritious how a peruvian chef is helping the poor beat malnutrition on a sport find out how tennis world number one is warming up for the first grand slam of the season for the.

to board things called time out to be defend the ruling party for its part is blaming all the violence on the opposition the opposition we know from media reports as well as from rights bodies and civil society have come under attack repeatedly within the last two weeks making it difficult for them to campaign or publicize their candidates many of them at least eighteen candidates are contesting from the prison many of them being confined to their home because they're scared to come out and campaign for their particular seats considering all the it's very critical for the population to actually go out and vote despite the fact there's about six hundred thousand security forces and maybe deployed across the country many people live very apprehensive still if there's going to be a bad election tomorrow we'll see how people at tendencies tomorrow how they cast that road and if they actually are fair and legitimate in that it's constitutions we'll see what the result comes out to be which are not to hold as an associate

fellow at chatham house she says these this election is not the fed no democratic. i think any of this election is that if it was indeed to free and fair election we would possibly have seen the come back to power but it's a bit to ensure that it comes back comes back to power we use all possible means irregular unlawfully means to do with what so we would see we have already seen a massive intimidation of water. of people belonging to supporters of the national party we have also seen i mean green the new pollution of the state machinery the election commission the police which is working at the behest of the government so to say that the level there is a level playing field is not accurate the playing field is definitely tilted in favor of the ruling army league there's been more unrest in eastern democratic

republic of congo over the exclusion of three areas from sunday's election two people were killed during a workers' strike in the city of beni on friday and police fired tear gas to disperse opposition supporters in goma one presidential candidate has filed a case of the supreme court seeking to reverse the election commission's decision to delay voting until march and soit has more now from kinshasa. preparations for the election are still going on the electoral commission saying that they are you get the sense that. but the country is going to the full eighty will get. even today with the materials being transported to different polling stations across the country this is a logistical nightmare in a country that has very poor infrastructure and it's the rainy season as well and it's compounded by the fact that people do not trust the electoral. electoral process at all to many of them say they do not trust the election commission they feel that this election is not going to be credible one presidential candidate or.

filed a petition a week the constitutional court asking that court to compel the electoral commission to be in the decision it made to spawning elections in three areas that many. in those areas people engaging police in running saying that they must go to the vote with everybody else on sunday saying that they feel disenfranchised rights are being violated as well we've also seen. some opposition politicians in that is saying that even this decision is not rescinded then they will also not go to the polls that the situation here very tense on the eve of that election. just mentioned that the congolese government has been accused of grave human rights abuses.

told us how her brother rossi was killed it was earlier this year he was at a protest calling for the already read your elections please stop the march that's normal here on the streets of kinshasa the capital of the democratic republic of congo. and rossi was shot. he died in hospital for us all that talk about the apartment but murray says his ideas live on. we will not shut up because it's our country they have guns and they can kill but drusie said they can kill all eighty million of us they can even kill me but can they kill all congolese. reraise neighborhood is it clean most people are for and it's a similar story throughout most of hungary meanwhile i mean how people of people make billions of dollars every year from the country's vast mineral wealth as people say they want change rights groups say people are really free to demand it

but the bar. cap jamba spent nearly forty years trying to challenge that he's a human rights lawyer. i assure you it can not be a free election because the regime is already used to courts to block some of its opponents and the electoral commission is clearly trying to give advantage to the ruling party. has been violent on the campaign trail with his camera phone video his pleas pricking up a rally of opposition candidate martin for you live activists eighteen people were killed the ruling coalition's presidential candidate amazon is shattering on a european union sanctions list following filing crackdowns on protests the government denies orchestrating rights abuses and they suspended the use ambassador in respond if president joseph kabila told us the electoral process is sensitive so

during an electoral process you have tensions the most important thing is to have the necessary police force that's well equipped in order to give that a given point in time we did not have that capacity but we've been building that capacity there are a hopes the election will change not just the leader but the whole system that's for her brother rossi for for but even if change comes he'll never see it. malcolm webb al-jazeera kinshasa in the democratic republic of congo. so than security forces have arrested him opposition leader as anti-government protests continue police used tear gas on protesters in the capital khartoum in other cities on friday forces also raided the homes of students they suspect of planning sabotage people are angry of a rising prices and the government's running of the country they want president omar bashir to step down after ruling the country for nearly thirty years he would

morgan as this update from car too. anti-government protests have been growing with demonstrators demand that president obama in bashir and his twenty nine year rule and step down now the protests started last week in the city of daraa. which made people march but that quickly escalated to a round the country with people demanding that president. the government has been responding with what the u.n. and other foreign governments have described as excessive brutal force the government has been using. to try to disperse protesters and prevent them from gathering in large numbers that has. the government at. the head of the. country also announce that it has arrested which it said was responsible for. terror attacks around the country that the students were working with. and that it was trying to destabilize the country.

several protests have been called for the thirty first of december protesters say that they will continue to demand president. thirty seven people have been killed in protests as of monday the government saying that only one thousand people have been killed and over four hundred have been injured but there are concerns that as protesters say they will continue to protest against the government as the government continues to use live ammunition tear gas to disperse them there will be more lives lost and more people will be. honest about the developments in yemen a report from the new york times that says thousands of sudanese child soldiers are being used by saudi forces joining us now from the capital. is a yemeni journalist so what do you make of this report in the new york times that the saudi led coalition is using sudanese child soldiers does it come as a surprise to. no it is not to my surprise it is not to

surprise of anyone in yemen because we know after the first day from day one that saudi arabia has been using missin aris from sudan and if the us so i don't i am wondering what what if there is anybody who are gun surprised why and they are surprised i mean it's very natural saudi arabia. saudi arabia and immigrates out of fighting in other words missing their east. and yet in sudan today i have a serious incidents made very she and they get killed almost every day. but i think this is as thing of this drags on sudan is a prison and. we know that sudan is the people refused this

completely and even the balance the sudanese balance if you use this many times. but it is not to our surprise at all because we know that. saudi arabia is year using the most interest from us not only from sadat so tell us a little bit more than about what you know about the sudanese mercenaries many of them teenagers young children that came from the jonjo they were militias when back in the darfur conflict. you know what do we know what we know. is did he get it about that next year within the hour children or adults but what do we know exactly is that. day there are many and many many that his fighters who are always in that in the in the front lines in in the front lines of the south of saudi arabia

it in be to kill him in a hit on gays and i see it in bikila only video if you who are now fighting in in n.m. . and her data and which didn't cost or who are working with the united arab emirates a process but that many forces the main sudanese forces are not in that in they get out and get sad and i see it and these out of it may frontlines in the south of saudi arabia. of course then they are they are being used as. flora in a wad just to protect. the sudan and saudi the saudi seven years because they don't want to to get together and they if it always has a denny's in the sand and to protect themselves and this is very no i have been known

to if you want i mean we received a while lot of stories from that that yemeni fighters who went to these affronts and who came back here to tell us the stories that have very very much stories about these things not so robbie thank you very much for talking to al-jazeera. thank you. britain's home secretary is treating a rise in attempts by migrants to cross the english channel from france as a major incident sajid javid remarks come as nearly seventy people were stopped in recent days trying to get to the u.k. by crossing one of the world's busiest shipping lanes and small boats job it is seeking an urgent call with french leaders over the weekend where we have two teams live on this developing story bernard smith is in cali in france where the migrants have started their boat trip to enter the u.k. but we begin with some of diego in dover where many have washed up on shore near the u.k. government has declared the channel migrant crossings a major incidents they're clearly worried this problem could get much bigger.

absolutely and while the numbers are relatively small still the rate at which it has been going up has been quite alarming for the authorities hit in just the three days gone by sixty six people have been stopped trying to reach the u.k. the british coast head on these inflatable dinghies very unsuitable vessels with which to navigate through these extremely busy shipping lanes hit and so with that the concern is according to the home secretary is that they want to monitor the situation in case of loss of life that would happen in one of these cases but also of course that race the the the tone of that is because they do they do not want to see any more accidents happening across the channel as well of course they're off it is that this is happening because of the oncoming breck's it issue

of course and the ferries also that the smuggling groups on the other side of the channel on the french side have formed and have managed to convince people that perhaps this is that only opportunity in which they're able to make a crossing to the u.k. if that is where they want to wind up for more of that on what's happening on the french side but smith and kelly. sonia thank you yes really much in launching yourselves into the channel behind me it's rough seas you risk strong currents icy cold water and strong winds when you're doing the the small dinghies. and you risk collision with some of the many ferries and container vessels that go back and forth along this one of the world's busiest shipping lanes we were speaking earlier on today to mainly rain ians we found not far away from here as here in college and it's mainly in. radians

who are making this crossing and there are a couple of theories as to why suddenly the iranians are doing this one is that there's been so much money spent on boosting security at the channel ports millions and millions of euros spent on fences being put up on closed circuit television on increased security it is just much arthur to try and jump on the back of a lorry or on the back of a train that's going cross the other side to england so iranians who have a little bit more money to spend it seems have been more willing to be paying the smuggling networks to launch them off in the in the dinghies but it is as i say an extremely dangerous proposition but an indication of the desperation these people feel themselves in the camps that we've been to are really not camps is just. wasteland with a few tents pitched up it's very windy it's very cold it's very wet there's no

sanitation it's very little food just something offered by local charities and these people are frequently moved on by police it's a very desperate conditions forcing to forcing people to take these rabbiting bernard thank you now it's three years since more than a million refugees and migrants and to germany at the time the government said they could be successfully integrated into german society despite strong opposition from conservatives and far right groups from burnin done it can look at how successful those efforts have been it's a busy morning for romney he's a software developer at the click and steel workshop and as such he's an important part of an international team to see him and work you'd never think three years ago he was a refugee one whose progress chancellor angela merkel has seen for hisself. his is a success story but he says because he used his own initiative there is a lot here and if i waited to get the german class i would be doing nothing i would

be waiting because the first three hundred people the first six months and. and if i waited. or something i think people should not things in their own hands but what of the many others who were drawn by the open borders and merkel's determined humanitarianism the vast majority of those who came in twenty fifteen received refugee status and with it housing wealth and helped to learn german but many who arrived since have not been so fortunate and has struggled to get more than temporary jobs people like. him who status remains unresolved a few months ago he told me of his experience since twenty fifteen when. i get the political situation in iraq was not safe for me i wanted to be able to lead a normal life and freedom but so far here i haven't found the government agency that regulates this entire sector is this one the federal employment ministry and

it says that in october eighteen thousand asylum applications were processed all of which around two out of five cases saw a positive outcome last month one hundred seventy seven thousand refugees were registered as an employed a slight increase on the same time period from last year all together three hundred seventy three thousand refugees are classified as being underemployed. so why has germany struggled to integrate so many people in the refugee population that arrives in germany many don't have that vocational training because it's quite a young population so there is a massive challenge as to training people on the job and then there is an issue of legal certainty. angle america who once said integrating so many people would be one of the biggest challenges modern germany has ever faced but i mean really how he is one of many who have prospered but there are many more who have not dominant

welcome back a quick reminder the top stories at this hour russia and turkey have agreed to coordinate on northern syria after the u.s.

withdraws its forces the deal was struck at a meeting in moscow between the foreign and defense ministers from each side. egypt's interior ministry says forty fighters have been killed in response to fight his attack on a tourist bus near cairo the government says raids were carried out in giza and in northern sinai. and the u.n. says who the rebels in yemen are with drawing from the data as part of a cease fire deal both parties are allowing vital humanitarian supplies through the agreement was signed in sweden earlier this month. now a new cease fire between russian backed separatists and government forces in eastern ukraine is due to begin on saturday follows the construction of a border fence by russia sealing off crimea several european leaders have condemned the barrier and are calling for a definitive end to the conflict as how do you expect. this border fence is meant to divide more than land the barrier built by russia separates and exclaimed from ukraine barbed wire and hundreds of sensors are now part of

heightened security in the shadows of an ongoing conflict done as you saw in the congress this alarm system is a very reliable technical tool it can affect only detect and stop attempts to violate the borders of the state. the sixty kilometer fence is built to deter would russia describes as sabotage groups along with illegal trafficking of weapons and drugs but critics say its main objective is not security it's more likely a propaganda move by russia to demonstrate strengthening security separating from ukraine and to make sure that as they say infiltrated groups won't be able to cross the border in future i underline once again it's mere propaganda. a cease fire between russian backed separatist forces and ukraine a set to begin on saturday it's one of several cease fire since russia annexed crimea from ukraine in two thousand and fourteen against international law the un estimates more than ten thousand people have been killed in the conflict. french

president a mineral mccrone and german chancellor angela merkel have welcomed the ceasefire they pledged to keep up pressure for the implementation of a two thousand and fifteen peace deal in eastern ukraine the french and german leaders also want russia to allow free passage of ships following recent tensions and both are calling for the release of ukrainian sailors hill for over a month after unable clashes with the russian coast guard vessel de before the upcoming holidays around new year and the orthodox christmas should be an occasion for the parties to concentrate on the needs of the civilian population they have been suffering from the conflict and its consequences for far too long with the fence now complete many wonder if it will also be a barrier in ending russia's conflict with ukraine katia lopez with a on al-jazeera israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is in brazil and is promising stronger ties he's been meeting the far right presidential elect an arrow

in rio de janeiro there's no mention of brazil's anticipated move of its embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem for a moment as more. incoming brazilian president try able sonando has been looking to strengthen ties with israel for some time and the visit on thursday by israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu in some ways to culmination of now this is not a smooth deal for israel the support of brazil remember that this is the biggest economy in south america the incoming brazilian president himself why is he done this is certainly a break with previous administrations in the last few years in brazil now perhaps among the chief reasons is that of president trump and his administration in the united states table so not only as long seen him as a sort of kindred spirit that both right wing populists they both like to use

social media rather than the press to get their message out and they both to cry what they would probably see as political correctness now obviously the united states has moved their embassy to jerusalem but something that in the past incoming president also not of his own so pledged to do and that sort of support will be very welcome to the israeli prime minister as you hear now. is a. huge boost over here. and it's hard to believe that the context for. you because. the brother. that you mentioned is really. kind of his great question is what is the problem with. the problem this is a bit of a change to birdsville the leftist of ministrations that have governed it for most of the twenty first century so far favored the two state solution and showed some

support for palestine the country was formally recognized as a sovereign state in brazil in two thousand and ten and in many ways this is something that i. you will so not do as well would like to break with the past he would like to leave his own legacy and support for israel is part of that how is it going to affect him and certainly not all positively in the arab nations this isn't going to be a message it's going to be very well well current and brazil actually sells a lot of allow me and also chicken through many of those countries so this is going to be something that's not going to be positive for brazil we'll have to see how it plays out and how once he's president of the country that's going to happen on the first of january joy able so not oh look to handle that relationship with israel and also with palestine now the biggest national security threat facing one of africa's biggest economies might just be its own people latest figures show that

three quarters of a million illegal weapons in kenya are in private hands this month the government began a ninety day moratorium aimed at encouraging gun owners to surrender their arms send the zavvi reports. kenyans who live in this nairobi slum call it chocolate city named for the color of the rusted metal sheets used to build homes. life here is hard it's where we met a man who makes a living using a gun but was kind of afraid but he goes to bars hotels night clubs looking for easy prey and fast cash robbing the rich police would say he's a common criminal he calls himself robin hood and it put in the plate and the kids in it go to school and it. he says he's willing to surrender his guns but friends who did ended up dead a few days later for men like him it seems survival means having a gun i'm doing this for me it's not for me to do what i'm doing i'm doing this for me to get the program. to get. me on so they

could be. in another house we need a mother who knows the consequences of gun violence all too well she says police shot her son richard in the back nearly a decade later she's still not sure what happened that day. but you can never admit that your child or any wrong i remember him as a good hearted person he would come and hug me and he would always hug him and he would always give me money and that's how the story ended. a victim of armed robbery herself she says the government program to surrender illegal firearms is a good idea but police should not shoot to kill. there are an estimated seven hundred fifty thousand rifles and pistols in private kenyan hands more than the police and army have combined mostly smuggled from somalia they're untraceable apart from gun crime the sheer number of guns is also a national security concern experts say it's like a public arsenal and anyone willing and able can secure arms relatively easily.

away from towns and cities people need to keep their livestock safe from theft and their communities safe from tribal conflict. kenya's rural gun culture is more need based what you see. but if it is for the ungoverned spaces. of government presence of security forces in those areas and therefore protect themselves. most kenyans don't necessarily welcome firearms those who faced injustice political and economic exclusion or have been marginalized in some way say they need weapons to defend themselves because no one else will critics of the government plan say disarming kenyans means first addressing their security concerns and winning hearts and minds. greece's demolishing thousands of illegal buildings in an effort to bring the rule of law to the

construction industry previous governments have tended to avoid the issue even offering periodic amnesties to illegal properties because imposing the law is seen as a vote news that reports now from athens. the bonuses have lived on this spot for almost thirty years and that's how long it took over thirty years to fix them for trespassing on public land that mobile home has been condemned and so has the chicken coop but demolition of thirty's allowed them to move their home to legally rented land instead of destroying it. on the other side of athens another is less fortunate this holiday home is being torn down because it is on designated forest land the forest burned down thirty three years ago and while governments failed to replant a number of homes sprang up now the government is carrying out demolitions that have traditionally been put off after that. there are legal buildings everywhere

the mistake is that they were demolished when they were built after all these years it might be the right thing to do but people spend their lives there they suck money into their homes and no one told them they couldn't connect water and power because they were illegal. always connect the utilities before elections to natural disasters cause this policy change floods caused by heavy rainfall last year drowned at least two dozen people west of athens in addition to trespassing the blueness is positioned home in the wrong place at the confluence of two river beds where the flooding began and last summer a wildfire fanned by strong winds killed one hundred people on the east side of the city in a community made entirely of the legal homes on wooded land this house is one of thirty two hundred illegal structures being felt across the great to athens area many of these demolition orders have been pending for decades but the government says it will now execute them and many thousands more nationwide the question is whether this sudden outbreak of lawfulness will send the message and prevent future

illegal construction some people believe these demolitions are just a continuation of greece's permissive legal culture in which people have paid to legalize homes retroactively this dawned on me moby the new construction code does not legalize the most serious offenders it allows them to pay a fine and hold on to their legal property for another thirty years they are effectively paying a long term lease to keep the state off their back after that they don't know what will happen the system is completely fluid the government is now deepening the dry riverbed where last year's flooding occurred it is also pushing the building permit in process online in an effort to curb corruption but in a country where many structures were built without due process both of these measures may not amount to much. vegetable skins are often thrown away but in peru that thing turned into tasty and nutritious meals marianna sanchez met the chef who is changing people's diets. a master class from one of the
