this is not what i mean i want. to keep you with us one day my older sister went to a basketball court and she dribbled and saw this team playing together it was an eye opener there's so much tolerance and solidarity between the players and after training it's as if they are a family. and so i mean i started playing. here deep in senegal's countryside with an all girls team. that's breaking the norm . they don't play nice. they play to win. but i want to mop up as a coach and talent scout working with the new african national basketball association academy in senegal. we don't coach girls differently from boys because they are. and to be. senegal's national team or are known as the lyonnesse during the last world

a migration crisis and then between all these moments of hope like the incredible rescue operation involving the thai boy stuck in a cave al-jazeera looks back on the moments which defined twenty. three and. a step towards reconciliation. historic handshake. the start perhaps. but improbable relationship it improbable times. people living in gaza today are refugees and they're demanding their right to return home . right on the day the u.s. embassy was moved to jerusalem on the eve of nine we know better friends

potentially more dangerous that's the best way to describe what's happening with a smoking alternative known as vapor i enjoy the taste of it and not get the harmful effects of what smoking does between two thousand and thirteen and two thousand and fourteen alone we start tripling in use among us high school students and head to head comparison ysaye versus conventional secret which one do you think has helped my opinion i think they're both dangerous take no one else does it. sit downs president agrees to establish a commission of inquiry into protests as demonstrations and set the thirteenth

consecutive day. again i'm c.h.s. and this is al jazeera live from london also coming up people in the yemeni port city have had day to say shelling is continuing despite a u.n. act troops were at the mexican border where thousands of central american asylum seekers are waiting in the hope of making it over to the u.s. . the happy new year from moscow as the world continues to welcome in twenty nine. so the president omar al bashir has agreed to establish a commission of inquiry into antigovernment protests which are now lasted thirteen days and will look into the causes of the unrest as well as the police response offices

a fire tear gas at demonstrators to try and disperse crowds in the capital khartoum on the eve of independence day protests over rising food and fuel prices as well as calls for bashir to stand down also nationally to undermine plans celebration this affair is blaming sudan's economic problems on years of international sanctions much of which are handed him over and he's following events in coaching. today is the thirteenth day of protests people once again marched out into the streets protesting president bush years twenty nine year old they once again called for him to step down and hand over the government to an interim government until elections are held but the president has seemed very defiant over the past few days and he still seemed to fire today yesterday he met with the chief of police and he told them to use less force with the protesters amnesty international says thirty seven people have been killed at least and dozens and dozens have been injured and even more have been arrested but in today's protests police once again used tear gas and live ammunition that the president also addressed the nation on the eve of the

country's sixty third anniversary independence anniversary and he said he wants to pave the way for negotiations with the people who are protesting which they should really be that is what how to think could be that we shall enter into a new era where unity is reinforced and harmony is maintained in the whole country all with the aim to face the challenges and threats hovering above our head and here i renew the call to be honorable sudanese people in and outside of sudan to come together and stand united to parade on the good and not the evil that we will join hands to denounce violence steer away from wars to engage in dialogue is the only means to resolve differences. now for him to negotiate with the people protesting would be very hard that's because the people who are marching out in the streets don't have a certain body that is basically guiding them the opposition has come out and lend it support to those people who are out in the street because they see that these people have a legitimate reason to demand the president step down but then the thing is it's very hard for the president to try to negotiate with

a body that is not controlled by anyone at the moment and people are saying that they will continue to protest they will continue to demonstrate in the streets they will continue to make their demands heard but the president is saying that he's very defiant he's not going to step down he's going to try to introduce economic reforms he's going to try to improve the economy something that the people out in the streets marching said that they have heard over and over again and they're not ready to see after twenty nine years of president obama was here israel so at the moment said alice still at a crossroad protesters demanding that a president step down and present i wish you a very defiant saying that he will improve the situation but he's not going to step down and it's not clear where the situation would lead to in terms of nineteen. people in the any port city of had data say shelling is still going on despite a un backs truce he finally says agree to hand over control of the data to a local coast guard to be overseen by the u.n. sponsored recent deal but the government by

layer of complexity to the investigation now we have direct evidence showing members of the killing team unloading body bags or black bags of some sort so it leaves the impression. body ended up at the consular. residence and that's where the investigation should focus not what happened today a few weeks after hushovd disappearance a team of turkish investigators found traces of acid during a search of the saudi council's residence the office of turkey's attorney general has told al jazeera that chemicals were used to dispose of casualties body and now a new book is revealing more details of the killing diplomatic atrocity the dark secrets of the murder was written by three reporters from turkey's daily newspaper it names two previously and identified members of the saudi hit squad as well as

their links to the royal family also audio recordings which allegedly prove that the crime was premeditated and information on his show g.'s reported refusal to text message his son in riyadh and tell him not to worry if he didn't hear from him for a while. as a fuller picture of the killing emerges the pressure continues to grow on saudi arabia last week the king reshuffled his cabinet hoping to deflect international criticism but there's already some would hope that this recent cabinet reshuffle what's an end to this case relieves saudi arabia from pressure by the turks and the international community looking for some answers the new details are also likely to add to growing calls that saudi arabia names and indicts those behind job killing paul should urge on al-jazeera behind his top course has rejected
