if we exchange if was big if we discuss if we debate this is the way i see us all together moving forward spanish cup holders barcelona all square with round madrid after the first leg of their semifinal side they don't messi started on the bench a passenger covering from a minor injury was royals. open the scoring messy stand in malcolm scored the equaliser just before messi joined the action one more in the final score the return leg is at the end of this month he would also drive again on the harbor one he felt a little bit better and i thought it was better for him to get into the pitch in the second half and when he came in he was decisive because every time he touches the ball we know he can create something and communities and we feel that in football it is very difficult to talk about justice in the football we had chances especially in the first half and also in the final part of the game we could have scored i think it's been a beautiful game tonight a lot of quality on the pitch

a great watch for the fans even for us that working for me but especially for the fans for the fans of any team really manchester city have gone top of the english premier league the defending champions beating everton to move ahead of liverpool in the stable arm and reports and as us with a score is in it so you know when it goodison park city top on goal difference now they have played again more than their title rivals liverpool. so the reality we were good. we could have been one month ago ten points behind with a game against liverpool and four six seven days ago we could be seven points behind you know we are top in the league what is a lesson that never give up so that is the best advice for all outlets so you everything is in your hands try to win the games because the life change immediately the last census. now in a crush investigators have recovered a body from the wreckage of a plane that was carrying cardiff city player million isola and his pilots the

plane was found at the bottom of the english channel almost two weeks after it disappeared while flying from france the twenty eight year old argentinian just said goodbye to his team mates it is former club nonce and was on route to start his new korea with cardiff. it's trade deadline day in the n.b.a. the future of pelicans for anthony davis is yet to be decided it's reported that le bron james is l.a. lakers are prepared to try to hoth their roster for the twenty five year old thomas a huge uncertainty for many players and seems pretty obvious these evil. and sometimes you do want to was going to happen with some experience. for a load for everybody. who's uncertain to go i'm very gay men are somewhat under its own records as young as you are with them to really come together and try to mire of their own image on the one on the court defending champions the golden state warriors blew away the sun and sorry spurs in california the worry steph curry had

nineteen point seven assists and five rebounds. kevin durant's also had a big night twenty three points for him as he let go of the state's well one forty one to want to see victory there and saying afterwards he didn't trust anyone in the media this after it was reported he was about to leave the same as a free agent. it's nice dominic paris has won his first ever title at skiing's world championships the twenty nine year old taking gold here in the super g. events in sweden are said previously only ever want to silver medal that was at the twenty thirteen championships. a few months ago the future of the winter olympics seem to be going downhill fast as calgary became the latest city so abandon a bid to house them that sea remaining bits also look close to pulling out but a new approach may save taxpayers money and the games themselves pull race reports from sweden. as a winter olympic host stockholm has a good head start on most cities plenty of snow and off piste slope fifteen minutes

from the central station the stockholm is hoping they might in their lunchtime ski pass to the olympic stars in twenty twenty six i would just try to take advantage and enjoy it we do like our winter sports no doubt i think it's great. mental impact as well and if we can do something about those be. a few months ago realizing these hopes became an uphill struggle the swedish election installed a new stockholm council that refused to provide any financial backing for the olympics as the chance to host in twenty twenty six was being rejected by city leaders around the world but the decision of the city of start hasn't killed off its bid the international olympic committee had already realized that money was putting cities off hosting the games a year ago they voted in a new way of doing things to emphasize cutting costs and not has turned like

a big problem for stocks into one of its strengths the politicians haven't changed course no games if it costs a single tax but nearly all of venues are already built the bid includes currently hosting the alpine ski world championships. so with a bit of blue sky thinking and private money. is budgeted to cost the average sweet precisely nothing. a different olympic era from that which saw four point four billion dollars of the london some a games come from taxpayers our bid for the winter olympics and paralympics so twenty twenty six is tailor made to fit into this new reality over the i.o.c. not only for twenty twenty six but can create the legacy that is positive for the future of the limbic movement use what you have where you have it and don't be limiting there are still only two bids for twenty twenty six but by the third step

with the new reality with italy's milan going up against the swedes with another all stale and pick offering the i.o.c. say the two cities are already four hundred million dollars under the projected costs of sochi and pyong chang's winning beds. that not taking people in the pockets will have more would be queuing up to twenty thirty. al-jazeera sweden. ok. but that is it for me for an hour show andy thank you very much thank you for joining me for the news hour i'll be back on the other side of the break with more new computer. the week began with views of ninety day for troops in the to protect us china trade . the world's largest supplier of liquefied natural gas is leaving the biggest oil

looking for resolution in venezuela a dozen countries from europe and latin america meet to decide how to deal with the crisis. i'm richelle carey this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up presidential harassment donald trump is fighting back as congressional democrats expand the scope that's russia and. a tough sell it's worrisome a goes to brussels once again but are you leaders buying what she's selling. after i sold or in one iraqi city that is trying to move on after years of violence. the search for a solution to the political standoff in venezuela will be the focus when ministers from the e.u. in latin america meeting your acquires capital in a few hours and israel's president nicolas maduro says he's willing to back any

process that leads to dialogue but the self declared leader was has dismissed talks as a ploy to buy time the aim of the international contact group on than israel is to reach a political settlement with the ninety days it wants to create conditions where venezuelans could look at holding free transparent and credible elections the group is made up of eight european countries including france and the u.k. and five latin american nations at the meeting later a received a plan titled the montevideo mechanism which he says he backs. iraq. i ratified the circle to the full stage plan but the montevideo is mechanism integrated by the government of mexico fourteen countries of the caribbean and i believe it is proposing. to participate in a process of sovereign host you look for a national agenda up agreements and understanding and trying what is live for us in montevideo where this meeting is taking place tell us more about this group and

laid out some of the basics but tell us more about this international contact group and what they really think they can achieve. for the delegates have just arrived at this building behind me in the presidential office is in here in the center of montevideo as you mentioned they represent eight countries from the european union five from latin america the whole spectrum of opinion of venezuela among the eight european nations several of them have expressed their support for the self declared president though it's really is still not declared as a latin american nations bolivia still supports nicolas mo dawdle and both you require mexico a neutral but they feel that the spectrum of opinion will allow them to present a plan which will allow for dialogue between both sides in the venezuelan crisis and that will perhaps allow the way forward for elections a free and fair elections to be held in the troubled countries and that is their plan which they hope to present to the european union the united nations within

ninety days they've said that within ninety days if they achieve nothing then they will despond in many ways to try to keep their ex expectations down to some degree but they say that they are possibly the only way forward in a dispute in a crisis which really has so far seen no resolution so the key people involved here on this whole situation are nicolas maduro and one quite zero or either of them actually take any notice of what this group is trying to do and what they'll put forth. well nicolas maduro has said he wants to find a peaceful solution that he wants to negotiate and he's watching this meeting very very closely has said the same but he fears as you mentioned that nicolas maduro is simply looking to buy time and will use these negotiations as a way of staying in power as a way of preparing kate saying over as a way of causing further disagreement between the various parties in these

negotiations that he's very skeptical of nicolas maduro as approach but as i say the people the delegates here feel this is the only way forward they don't want to see an invasion of any sort they don't want to see a continuation of the current crisis so they're trying to gather as many as wide a range of opinions as possible together here to try to find that way forward and this group a i see why it's so important to latin america. very important to latin america to all the nations of the region something like a very rough estimates of about three million least venezuelans have left the country in the last few years given the shortages of food of medicines the economic crisis rampant inflation and rising crime they have gone to countries all over latin america and nationally they were fairly well warmly welcomed by the countries brazil like colombia especially but that has since changed and the mood has changed really with the sheer numbers the difficulties of integrating such vast numbers of

people sometimes they have money very often they come with the most with limited resources they're looking for work so really they want to solve that problem as quickly as possible to prevent further migration fearful of further migration from venezuela are identify more wine for us and montevideo thank you. the u.n. is warning countries not to use humanitarian aid as a political tool in venezuela the u.s. says trucks carrying supplies have arrived in neighboring colombia they were sent there after a request by venezuela's self declared interim president but the opposition says the military has blocked a bridge along the border where the aid is meant to pass. the any reports in the colombia venezuela border. the promised a doesn't even reach the venezuelan border but the government of nicolas maduro is already taking steps to stop it entering the country fences huge shipping containers and armed soldiers are blocking crossings into venice where. the united

states and neighboring colombia are leading an effort to move tens of millions of dollars worth of aid into linux well it includes desperately needed medicines and food. president long denied this country faces any such crisis in regard to the aid offer as the first step towards an invasion of the country in the eyes of venus well as opposition it's no more do an act of compassion. humanitarian aid is humanitarian aid is to take care of the emergency it doesn't resolve the problem of food it's important to say that it's to attend to the most vulnerable that today are about to lose their lives. on wednesday the u.s. secretary of state in colombia's foreign ministers call them president to change his mind. where we have been as well and people are calling for this humanitarian aid to arrive and what needs to do is not impede our being as well and brothers

from getting the humanitarian aid they need this is the enthroned. that bridge the main entry point for the aid arriving from the capital but we're still days away from being ready to operate as a humanitarian corridor the building there you see behind me is being adapted to properly store food and medicine that will arrive for the first trucks are still on their way from what they're in they're expected here at some point on thursday and local authorities are telling us that even once all this will be ready they still don't have a clear plan and how to move this into venezuela under venezuela side of the border hungry families were anxiously waiting for news of the ship mints. when you've been hearing columbia business will ensue fled their home country or hoping to receive

some help i don't know not be sure they get here we were told we could receive some food and help here but no they're saying it needs to go into venezuela amadou will not let us in let's hope he will put a hand on his heart and yield something that at least for now seems out of the question to listen to him just. as president donald trump is accusing the democrats presidential harassment is the day after the democrat controlled house intelligence committee voted to provide special counsel robert mueller with potential testimonies and asked for. by the close of wednesday special counsel robert muller had a lot more information for his investigation into potential collusion between russia and the trump campaign fifty transcripts of people who testified in front of a house committee some of those closest to the us president his son son in law and his most trusted advisers with the democrats in charge now they voted to send all of the transcripts to muller and now if any of those people lied under oath they

can be charged with a crime. president close friend roger stone has already been charged with lying to congress and his former lawyer is going to prison for doing that this comes on the heels of a warning from the president during his state of the union speech tuesday and economic miracle is taking place in the united states and the only thing that can stop it are foolish wars politics or ridiculous partisan investigations. if there is going to be peace and legislation there cannot be war and investigation it just doesn't work that way. the democratic response it actually does that's a nonstarter in fact the committee says they will look into more than what muller is casting a broad net looking into the possibility that the president or those close to him

are compromised the american people have a right to know indeed have a need to know that their president is acting on their behalf and not for some peculiarity or other reason that pertains to any credible allegations of leverage by the russians or the saudis or anyone else the u.s. president was not happy and what basis would he do that he has no basis to do that he actually does he's in charge now and he has the power to make people show up before his committee thank you very much thank the president and his closest advisors are about to find out what that looks like to call him al-jazeera washington. towards.
