argentina is known to have the best polo in the wilds and one of the reasons why is the quality of its horses but it's not all down to nature animal cloning has become a common practice in the sport and as to raise about explains it's thought to hate

that a he said ethical discussion. horses at the most important tournaments in the world they may all look the same except that a few of these horses are clones. they were created here at this center fifty kilometers outside one of site has had a man keiser explains that to clone a horse they take tissue from the neck of the animal they want to copy then what's generated out of that tissue is inserted into an empty cell no you cannot just because they don't know that there's no sperm here it's considered a sexual reproduction even though the initial cell we want to clone had a mother and a father. then they wait for a few days to see if the procedure is successful so they can later implant the embryo a nightmare. this fall as you can see here is a clone of of course said if playing argentina is polo championship it was created

in a laboratory and implanted in this manner it is expected to be as good as the original version of the id and more has been leading the cloning process in argentina he says that kilwinning has helped them accelerate the record auction process of what is considered an exceptional horse so we're ready for this but he said oh are we cannot clone experiences what new. it does we copy it in a lab and it has inefficiencies it's always an imitation of nature and even though we reset you just start from the beginning we cannot delete the genetic marks in the d.n.a. so it's not crazy to think that the clones are born with more experience than the original animal. considered argentina's best polo player has cloned his mare quite a bit more than a dozen times the manor and her clones are the stars of every tournament in the country. that are not part of the discussion over the ethics of horse cloning has

forced the polo association to regulate what can be allowed in the industry. there is a big debate eight hundred twenty five laboratories want to mutate change and adapt and that's why our association with the government decided that cloning is one thing and manipulating genetically is something else. the demand for horses is what has made this industry and even though ethical questions about animal cloning remain it has allowed some of argentina's best horses to transcend in time. it's time for sport. thank you so much while manchester united's hot streak under new manager ole gunnar sol shire has continued romelu lukaku and marcus rash for its score to secure a two nil win at newcastle in the english premier league the six and sole shires winning streak to foreign a row now since taking over from the sacked josie marino of chelsea have missed the

a just. we have given the republicans a chance to take yes for an answer no deal at the white house the us federal government shutdown continues after a meeting between the president and congressional leaders.

hello i'm the star of the a ten this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. fighting intensifies in northern syria at least thirty one people have been killed . a change of tone in brazil as the new president moves to make it easier to exploit the amazon rain forest. and protests in the indian state of carola after two women defy an ancient ban on entering a hindu temple. donald trump has asked congressional leaders to return to the white house on friday after both sides failed to reach a deal to end the partial government shutdown the president said he is prepared to let the shutdown go on indefinitely unless he gets funding to build a wall at the u.s. southern border she have a tansey has the latest from washington d.c.

. the garbage cans were overflowing outside the white house on the twelfth day of the partial government shutdown inside the president convened his full cabinet to extol the virtues of his wall and blame the democrats for a budget impasse to donald trump and said he would take full responsibility for just a few weeks earlier i will be the one to shut it down i'm not going to blame you for he then spoke to the press to be said he was now insisting on five point six billion dollars for the wall not even the two point five billion for a barrier for the white house. had offered democrats as a compromise once the shutdown began. or it. could be a long time and it could be quickly could be a long time it's it's too important a subject to walk away from later in the afternoon the democratic leadership made its way to the white house for the first direct talks with the president in weeks however this was organized as a border security briefing by department of homeland security officials not as

a negotiation clearly the president was continuing to frame the shutdown as a failure of democrats to understand what he says is an emergency at the southern border even as illegal border crossings are at historic lows and after the meeting the democrats said their plans have not changed they are now feeling the heat it is not helping the president it is not helping the republicans to be the owners of the shutdown whereas in a way the president to open up government we are giving him a republican path to do that why would he not deal with incoming house speaker nancy pelosi intends to pass several bills in the house to reopen the government on thursday with one point three billion dollars for border security but no funding for trump's wall but the shutdown is likely to continue nonetheless the republican senate leadership says it will not bring these measures to a vote in the upper chamber until the president says he's willing to sign them into loom the president didn't receive five billion dollars for the war when republicans

controlled both houses of congress now that power is split that goal seems all but impossible more talks are being planned for friday she able to see al-jazeera washington. as a political commentator and former u.s. commerce department official in the trumpet ministration he says donald trump will likely get the funding he wants for the border wall with the public support. this is an issue that the president believes is about national security it's not just about immigration or illegal immigration for that matter this is a national security issue that the president frankly didn't campaign on but this becomes about democrats saving face as they take over the house come to thursday what we're going to find is that with each passing day democrats become more and more i would say the owners of this shutdown because the president did say in the oval office meeting with chuck schumer nancy pelosi that he would own the shutdown if there was not funding provided for border security however what he's now done is he's switched that around and said well now that we have the house in control with

democrats in control of the house it's now their responsibility to fund the border wall it's now their responsibility to have border security under their tenure so it's a very interesting move the president pulled here and i think it's very similar to some of his foreign policy negotiating tactics that he's used and we'll see that we will see the fruit of that in the next coming days i think the president's going to allow this to run its course knowing that full well he will come out victorious he's well on his way to victory here and frankly with eighty percent of the american people agreeing that border security is a significantly important issue in the united states where it costs perhaps i believe upwards of two hundred billion dollars each year to not have a secure border the president's asking for a mere five billion dollars to fund that wall and i think that most americans as the polls will show agree with that at least thirty one people are dead after days of intense fighting between two groups in northern syria it's happening in parts of two provinces and left and if that al-qaeda linked fighters and tell he backed

rebel forces are blaming each other the starting the violence hits the west fighting in this part of the country in three months. meanwhile u.s. president donald trump has described syria's war as sand and death while defending his decision to withdraw u.s. troops from the country speaking at a cabinet meeting on wednesday didn't provide a timetable for the military exit he announced last month against the advice of his defense chiefs but he did say he wants to protect kurdish people in syria trump's been accused of abandoning because this y p g has been key allies in the fight against eisele if i know this is faster or slower than what is the time when you know what if somebody said four months but i didn't i didn't say that either i'm getting out we're getting out of syria look. we don't want syria obama gave up syria years ago when he didn't violate the red line i did when i shot fifty nine missiles a but that was a long time later so syria was lost long ago it was lost long ago

and besides that i don't want we're talking about sand and death that's what we're talking about what we want to protect the kurds never the less we want to protect the courage but i don't want to be in syria forever it's safe and and it's death well now that has to me is the director of the center of middle east studies at denver university he says it's clear donald trump isn't listening to his top advisers. i think there's just a lot of you know concern and you know consternation about the absence of any sort of u.s. strategy with respect to the middle east with respect to syria with respect to the potential of you know greater conflict in evolving as a result of this rush to say decision. one thing that is clear though i think that we can learn from these recent comments both today and on december nineteenth when

trump announced his withdrawal is a trap is very much his own man he's not listening to you know john bolton he's not listening to his generals he's making his own foreign policy and he's really really catering to the isolationist stream of the core base of american supporters who support him roughly thirty percent right or wrong and he's very much his own men well brazil's new government has announced a major policy overhaul and creating a move expected to open up the amazon rainforest to increased commercial exploitation the country's new far right president jaya both issued an executive order giving the agriculture ministry of responsibility for demarcating indigenous land the decree strips the indigenous affairs agency of power which has angered native rights groups the government has also promised to introduce an anti crime bill next month john heilemann has more from the capital brasilia. president but also not overt only just been sworn in really when he started to try and take action and come good on his campaign promises one of them was not one centimeter

more of land for indigenous reserves and he signed an executive order that all intents and purposes made that happen there was obviously outcry from indigenous leaders who would see this is the thin end of the wedge at the moment it doesn't affect the established indigenous reserves in the country but they fear that a president who's made no secret really of his plans and decide to develop brazil's natural resources would then move on to that next the agricultural minister the new agricultural minister also came out and said that brazil had too many environmental laws the agriculture ministry at the moment is really in the hands of the agri business lobby who would also like to develop and stop farming on the brazilian countryside remember that more than half of this country is made up of the amazon rain forest also the new security the new justice minister came out and said that

the president to charge him above all other things to try and deal with impunity this is a country that's coming off the back of the biggest corruption scandal in latin america in the new president bill sonando has made it really a priority and a campaign promise to get to grips with that and to be down corruption in the country. there have been protests across the indian state of carola against the entry of two women into the sabri mala temple police fired tear gas and water cannon against a group of demonstrators in the state capital the women with a fast to enter the temple since the supreme court overturned a centuries old ban on women of menstruating age the protest as support the temples refusal to implement the court ruling saying hindu values are under attack the temple and the dispute over gender equality on the ballot the center of the political fight just months ahead of national elections dorset reports.
