right. era. glamour shall carry this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes the u.s. holds a conference in warsaw to push its mideast agenda meeting described as a circus by iran which was not invited. but the iranian russian and turkish leaders are in sochi talking about the war in syria. it's the end of the runway for the world's biggest passenger plane thousands of european jobs under threat as airbus kills off the a three eighty. the joint resolution. and

a push to end u.s. support for the war in yemen it's one step closer to becoming reality but challenges do remain. states as a new era of cooperation is forming between arab and israeli leaders he was speaking at a summit in warsaw where the u.s. has gathered sixty nations the official agenda is broad but the real focus appears to be a rod of european nations have sent junior officials to the conference as a further sign there on happy with the u.s. sanctions against iran tehran has dismissed the summit as a circus it says the real work is taking place in sochi that's where the presidents of russia iran and turkey are meeting for a fourth round of talks on syria so the two meetings with conflicting visions for the middle east two of them so in a moment we'll have reaction from say to her in the iranian capital first let's go

to a higher bar at this gathering in warsaw there's been a a lot of controversy. leading up to this conference this meeting what's actually on the agenda today. iran iran is the issue now on the agenda will. all those statements that we've heard over the last few hours about iran by piercing that this is a unique opportunity of the international coalition he hopes they will be able to put more pressure on iran has said a while ago also that he's concerned with iran having proxies and he named groups like hezbollah in lebanon and the who these in yemen as an indication of iran's growing influence in the region prime minister or the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said that he is also hoping to build

a stronger coalition against the iranians here in warsaw but the general sentiment among many key players particularly the e.u. the russians who are not attending or either sending a low delegation is this is not the way to solve the problems of the middle east and the americans should not really be taken that direction a unilateral direction and aggressive approach against iran and the diplomatic. ways could be the best way to engage with the iranians so it's a very delicate moment here in wa so this explains why some of the key players decided to distance themselves from the warsaw conference so this is a conference on the middle east as you said with or at the heavy focus on iran but there are a lot of side issues and other rival rivalries and at play as well how are things playing out with the u.s. and their allies. it

remains to be seen how the americans will be able to. convince all the parties to come up with a plan about how to solve all the problems they say that there were they would be able to solve like the conflict in syria but we were you don't have the iranians are the russians how can you solve the problem. so we have the british foreign minister jeremy hunt so that he's hoping to be able to the conflict in yemen but that's another issue that involves some of the key players including iran itself and it remains to be seen how can you solve the problem now that is a push to x. band the cease fire in yemen nationwide the one that was implemented in december in the whole data. this is going to be the biggest challenge facing the united states of america which is by the end of the day with the be able to tell the international community but you know what being all bore today here we have some

tangible results we would see an end to the conflicts in places like yemen and syria but these are very divisive issues and one of the key divisive issues today we're expecting this son of a sudden low president general trumpet. to deliver a speech today to present his peace plan for the middle east something that has infuriated the policy of fatah to said that it's not going to and he's asking other delegations not to attend the conference because they are concerned that his plan is going to undermine some of the basic tenets of the palestinian authority they say that unless they have a viable state with eastern jerusalem as their capital and a guarantee right for the effort by the syrian refugees to come back they want to accept anything short of that all right by for us and warsaw thank you. iran's foreign minister says it's no coincidence that the warsaw conference opened

on the same day as a major attack near its border with pakistan a car bomb killed at least twenty seven soldiers from the revolutionary guard on thursday as a house on rouhani said the bombing was a stain on the record of america's allies. iran's president is in sochi to meet with his russian and turkish counterparts to discuss syria's war it's their first meeting since the u.s. announced plans to withdraw its troops from the conflict turkey wants to fill the void russia and iran believe the government should take back control saying a holder tehran. they last met in teheran in september the presidents of russia iran and turkey are partners in the so-called asked on a process on syria since then the us announced plans to withdraw its troops from the north east a corner of syria which is under the control of the kurdish armed groups the white turkey wants to fill the void and create what it calls a safe zone in syria along its borders iran however shares russia's position allies

of the syrian government are referring to the one nine hundred ninety eight at an agreement between syria and turkey the best way. to defend syrian turkish borders. legitimate concerns of turkish neighbors about terrorist attacks from syrian territory to make sure that the syrian government has control of its territory we have the. greenman and we can see how best we can use that agreement the kremlin has been encouraging talks between syria and the wife for a peaceful handover but it is also trying to push for direct contact between syria and turkey and that is where the ad in a dream and comes in that agreement and that syrian government support for the p.k. case the kurdistan workers party which turkey considers a terrorist organization russia's message was that turkey can rely on syria to reign in the white peachey which turkey says is an offshoot of the p.k. k.

. between the once close allies is seen as a positive development by iran i think by. all of the. mend. erdogan has talked about low level contact with the syrian government through the intelligence. differences but their strategic interests they find common ground none of the countries want to risk their relationship russia doesn't want turkey to move. wants to remain an economic lifeline turkey wants a seat on the table the defense ministers of turkey and russia have been meeting to determine the roadmap for the post. the fate of now under the control of what many in the international community regard as an. group seems to be. russia has been

pressuring turkey to act against. to avert a syrian government offensive that could cause a humanitarian crisis on its border. deals in the making russia. from the border promised turkey security or it could allow turkey to set up a temporary safe zone that is all on the table when the three presidents meet in sochi. so important. the united states is going to be pulling out its troops. very strategic corner

thirty percent. more the country wants to. now turkey for example reasons why. there should be some sort of it wants to create a security zone for two reasons for security to push the why. the british army away from the border a group turkey considers a terrorist organization for humanitarian reasons turkey wants refugees to be able to go back to syria but iran as well as russia the allies of the syrian government they want the government to restore control over the strategic region because it's rich in oil it's rich in resources and resources that damascus needs in order to survive the iranian president go honey while leaving to run on his way to such each reiterated that iran believes in syria's territorial integrity he also singled out the presence of u.s. troops saying they are an occupying force and that they should leave and that not

part of any are not part of syria should be under the control of any country which was in one way or another hinting a signal to turkey that we will not accept you to control this strip of territory so these three countries partners they put on a united face but clearly there is no consensus all right saying her live for us in tehran say thank you very much al-jazeera senior political analyst smarm bashar joins us now here in the studio in doha so marwan there's dueling conferences right there one that the u.s. pulled together and then there's the one in sochi where there's the leaders of iran turkey and russia which one actually carries more weight to today. what certainly the one in sochi is supposed to be more actionable it's supposed to be the place where three major powers in control basically to the of syria would be able to dictate the status quo in the country and the way it's moving forward but there's no guarantee that they will agree on the roadmap forward in syria and yet russia

with a stroke of brilliance a year and a half ago decided that they want to bring the turks and the iranians together in moscow in order to see what can be done about the future of syria now that russia basically won the war in that country against the armed opposition so since then russia has been if you will an imperial architect in syria and that's new for the russian is it is it is while they want something that they hate us initially they are exactly so what we have here is that a virtual of roles. the russians used to be the spoilers and the americans used to be the imperial architects what we haven't watched so today is the imperial spoilers the united states is no longer an architect in the region it can't even be the architect in israel palestine where the palestinians have totally rejected american role to resolve the issue there america is also leaving syria it has no

influence over what goes on in syria it's a spoiler in yemen so the once upon a time even during the obama administration before that where america especially since the cold war ended became an architect of sort of sort for the forced cold war order that is no longer the case today as russia takes the lead in syria so the push at that the conference in warsaw. the agenda that the u.s. has regarding iran is it working because it doesn't clearly there are a lot of european countries are on board is this this push to single out iran is it working look i mean certainly the united states has a huge weight still it is the world's superpower and it can bring as we saw today it can bring countries even with countries unwilling and don't want to just of can bring in together they can even split the europeans i mean west europeans are not interested but the united states found in eastern europe certain parties that are

willing to play ball with the united states there's certainly a good number of other countries who want to play ball with the united states in order to isolate iran so the push against iran will continue there's no doubt and i think trying to sort of adamant about that whether that will bring as the war so headline says for that very particular meeting peace and security i mean you know mr all well must be laughing in his grave for the use of the term peace and security while the prime minister of israel was sort of the bride the star of the conference in warsaw. basically facebook yesterday talked about war with iran or combating iran that they combat and there is a bit of a translation issue there but you have a very strong language nevertheless actually there isn't much of a translation issue my hebrew is just as good that's fortunate and what he said was meant how my bit on middle how much of it on my head i mean is war doesn't combatting be iran could very well means with you on so

a minute how much do you want as he said it and it was as it was put on the prime minister's website and treats feed said but how much we don't know if he meant combating iran in us far as i'm concerned it is to made to tomato because what you know what israel has always advocated what prime minister netanyahu has always advocated over the last several years was war against iran right now and bashar i thank you so much for helping us connect the dots between these two competing events and very much. plenty more ahead in the news hour including we'll be live in nigeria where candidates are on the final leg of campaigning before saturday's presidential election more than a dozen gay couples in japan launch a valentine's day bid for marriage equality and a tense game in portland has this n.b.a. coach and the flick but i'll tell what happened headed for.

the world's largest passenger jet is having its life cut short their bus says it will stop production of the a three eighty and two years' time the super jumbos largest customer emirates has announced a drastic reduction in order to buy a base carrier want smaller more fuel efficient aircraft instead as that means it can afford to keep its a three eighty production line and southern france open putting thousands of jobs at risk so this european aircraft manufacturer had high hopes for this double decker when it first took to the skies in two thousand and five singapore airlines passengers were the first to fly the new giants two years later but aircraft sales failed to take off the a three eighty was designed to overtake the aging seven forty seven jumbo jet built by boeing in america although popular with both pilots and passengers airlines struggle to fill the five hundred or so seats needed to make a profit and the huge size of the four engine jets means they're more costly to

maintain then twenty jets talked about large joins us live from the airbus headquarters in the french city of toulouse into what is the mood there given up a lot of people may end up losing their jobs. well we've just been listening to bosses who said that this is a very painful moment for them there's a lot of disappointment at having to end the production of the a three eighty in twenty twenty one you know this is a plane the fans call the super jumbo it's a double decker can carry more than five hundred forty people and really by many it's seen as a feat of engineering and air bus and hope that this plane was going to continue well into the future but the problem is over the years it's been plagued by things like delays and delivery rising costs and forging orders and the final blow really came when the emirates airline the buy based airline decided to reduce one of its orders for the drastically by thirty nine planes and that meant that the plane the

a three eighty simply could no longer survive and in terms of the workers what bosses say is that they're looking at an impact on about three thousand five hundred positions across the company they are in discussions with workers in unions as to what will happen next to those people what will be the situation in the future so the loss of this plane is what does it say about changing trends really in the aviation industry. well you know when the a three eighty actually launched in two thousand and five at the paris air show it's not a fanfare the idea was that this plane was going to revolutionize travel it was all about big lines like singapore airlines and quansah is using these planes to go from hop to hop to carry as many passengers as possible but the trend in the aviation world is really being towards smaller planes twin engine planes rather than the four engine a three eighty because the times planes are more fuel

efficient they can travel with smaller amounts of people so they can sell for more people more often than a three eighty so in a way this big super jumbo got left behind if you will and that is why managers are here is saying that they can't be emotional about it any longer they simply have to end its production all right and toss about their life i sense a list thank you. matthew tricycles the editor of asian aviation he joins us via skype from singapore thank you very much for your time what went so wrong. oh i think tom enders said it best in your correspondent to lose also touched on it they were basically what he said in the new c.e.o. of airbus what he said in the press conference was they were ten years too late. you know boeing hit the sweet spot with the seven forty seven it's now celebrating i think this month its fiftieth anniversary is the so-called queen of the skies

change the way people traveled long haul travel in boeing really got it right in this case airbus simply got it wrong and tom enders and the rest of the airbus management said look we can't be emotional about it it's a business case we're not selling the plane so we've got to kill the program what types of adjustments did they try to make along the way they just didn't take. they're in they've been tom enders actually i was just again watching the press conference on on you tube and they. you know they had lots of discussions about ok can we can we alter the airplane killer make it longer can we change the engines can we can we do this or do that and from airbus's viewpoint day they really couldn't do anything part of the problem also is that not all the airlines you know i mean the good thing about the airplane is it's big i mean you

can fit the normal sizes you're correspond i think touched on this five hundred forty fasten my goodness and so nontraditional yeah but that's a sort of a traditional three class layout so you got first class business coach. but the plane can actually if you didn't all coach configuration you could actually pack about eight hundred people into the plane of course who wants to. meet personally i don't want to fly on a plane. just to many people but you know in order to make the economy the the economics of the plane work you're really sort of have to put that many people in it malaysia airlines for example that got several a three eighty s. and at one point they were trying to sell them but because there's no secondary market for the plane they're now reconfiguring it into that single class layout that i mention for pilgrims going to mecca so that's one way they're trying to use

the plane in a draft so what now for airbus. airbus and i spoke about this today a little bit someone asked them you know what's that because the a three eighty is in a sense going away all that it will still be flying for years and years they're just going to end production by two thousand and twenty one someone they asked tom enders you know what's the new flagship for for airbus and in a sense what you're looking at are planes still wide body plans like the a three fifty which has been very successful i've flown it many many times between here and europe qatar airways has done a good job with it singapore airlines done a good job with it lots of people and lots of airlines a three fifty. seven eighty seven made by boeing does are sort of equivalent airplanes but also you're going to see i mean the real competition is not really been in the big jets

but in the smaller jets the narrow bodied the single aisle that are the war course of the industry these are the a three twenty s. and the buying seven thirty seven and these are what you see being ordered left and right by the low cost carriers that are sprouting up like mushrooms all over the world in europe in asia and elsewhere ryanair in europe an area asia in asia you know they are ordering thousands of seven thirty seven's and a three twenties because these are the very efficient iran they've got them full of people and there's and they sell it and the low cost carriers you know it's a basic deal so if you want anything extra you got to pay for matthew tresco thank you very much for your insight we appreciate it. it is the final day of campaigning in the run up to nigeria's general election on saturday eighty four million registered voters will decide who will lead the country for the next four years

more than seventy candidates are competing for the top job but opinion polls suggest it's really a two horse race president mohammed who bihari is looking to secure a second term with his ruling a.p.c. party the spacing strong competition from veteran politician a teco. car maker pardon me who is with the p.d.p. party will be speaking to augment each person matter corey in northeast nigeria first let's go to a room a tosser who is in nigeria's capital of boucher so. tell us what is the mood like what are people expecting. it appears that every mythos actually does not hear us at this moment so we're going to go back to la to korea where net interest is standing by in the capital of borno state so what kind of security measures actually we'll get to that in a moment first just in general what are the preparations for this big election.

what resolder your preferred just here i've been going on very well in many parts of the local south of the country we've spoken with the election officials who come from ports but don't believe most of the materials needed for the collections are disposed of once of the stuff they've left or they need to at the end of the campaign to them and by now with a bunch of papers which are the most sensible call documents election because i've been there we've got a lot of votes visited but the old states in nigeria i'm too old for the stations did not get on the ice chips to watch us very heavy security as of course now we've been seeing is the dances prior to this day and these will be lectures which is more we see. not just with points up by outbreaks in election offices in city different events in offices across nigeria that some some of these incidents have destroyed. by those machines that don't be used to bunny to voters.

or to cards i've. also seen how these players have destroyed some of the horses cut that's been done to lead by the right by voters across the country should say despite these incidents they have made i think refrigerators through please the last equipment were destroyed equipment so that the elections will try on such a day will go on smooth now basically yeah important states we've met with the election probably should not conform to our success and these things are going well and they foresee no trouble for that for the time to be a quickly and. warton a significant part of the preparation is is security what do you know about the type of security issues that they're dealing with and the measures they're taking to address it. when but if we can hear in the movies somehow you have a fourteen thousand policemen have been deployed in addition to imagine balfour

saldivar that security at the snow has been deployed to support the election process in general is from nigeria and so it was the security services not telling us that everything is going up going to last but of course this is going to use to have this just so you base broadsword are going to this is the epicenter of the nine year old quite obviously just the in nigeria they've been small incidents over the last two days one of them was almost an attack on a convoy of the state government without jumping in this hot water no state all but the last two days. suspected but what outsiders the convoy especially the last vehicles on the convoy that are two hundred requests from all the convoys and the last vehicles was attacked by billboard outside just what told by eyewitnesses who can point to us that such only. city local people have died in that particular incident but generally things are quiet yes and according to the military and

police sources everything is going on for them to plan and that one preparatory show that's being top was looking better very close to them about the military is not going to partake in the election day observations and we can't name them only if things get out of hand and the police are unable to control the situation all right let me just live for us from out of korea thank you very much let's return now to our in the taso who is in a belief that we now have established some contact with her so what are people hoping for what are they expecting in this election. well aside from the issue of in the case which i made just a great silicate a while ago that these these dividing plain electricity. youth unemployment a lot of people voting in this election will be young between the ages of eighteen and thirty five some of them are unemployed or underemployed and they're very frustrated some economists say since twenty fifteen the unemployment rate has doubled so people are concerned about who's going to create more jobs if they win this election we have this is one of the poor neighborhoods here and i believe this

out people try to make a living it's a it's a fairly busy street but most people here most young people aren't employed you see over the people sitting underneath that. taint that shades for example the women cooking they sell whatever they can to make ends meet they don't earn much but it brings food on the table so a lot of people are saying we have a win this election they really want the person to focus more on the economy to focus more on jobs you see this man here he's also trying to make ends meet he does that but does i think seeing old used motorcycles he owns again peanuts literally but to him it's something to put on the table to feed his family so a big concern here is the economy for nigerians and they have never wins elections focuses on that very important matter well right here in the toss live for us in a measure her thank you very much. and a few moments we'll have the weather with staff still ahead on al-jazeera.

not backing down protesters in haiti keep up the pressure on president john elway's to step down. more on the mission to end a trade war with the world's two largest economies before march first. real madrid take a step closer to the quarterfinals of the champions league details in sport. hello there it's spring in europe ok ok it's not really spring we're still in winter but it'll feel like spring over the next few days we've got eleven degrees there in paris today twelve in london the most temperatures are going to rise as we head into friday thirteen or fourteen expected in london and maybe further north in the

shadow of some of the mountains we could get to around sixty to seventy it's a rainy very warm air in the western parts of europe and that warm weather is extending further east as well so for some of us in germany it's also going to feel very warm and also into the western parts of poland as well because we're not all going to be able to enjoy that warm weather the reason we've got the warm weather is because we've got an area of high pressure this building over the western parts and you can see what that's doing to the cloud it's all going to work its way across the north of that and then it can topple down the eastern parts of the continent so for some of us in scandinavia we're still seeing a fair amount of snow i will say going to see a good deal more cloud in this region as we head through the next few days look at moscow though on friday we should be above freezing but i'm a bit of a change for us we've got a lot of snow recently the snow has been coming down very very heavily and it's certainly way you can down those branches at the moment with temperatures a to not too much of that will for though and it looks like we're going to see some more wintry weather as we head through the next few days. whether sponsored by.

after a drastic reduction. orders by the super jumbos largest customer emirates it's the final day of campaigning in the run up to nigeria's general election on saturday president mohamed to bihari is looking to secure a second term but he's facing strong challengers. the us house of representatives has passed a resolution to end american military involvement in the saudi a morality led war and yemen the measure now faces a contentious vote and the senate and president donald trump says he will veto it chairman johnson reports from washington d.c. this is a five minute vote this is the vote that the house of representatives then controlled by the republicans refused to allow last year with control having shifted to the democrats passage of a resolution demanding u.s. involvement in the yemen war it was never in doubt nearly all of the bombs that have fallen say the same thing made in the united states of america they fall on weddings they fall on hospitals and on homes they fall on funerals rep you refuse

camps and school busses i am mindful that this debate is taking place a day after the president disregarded the law and failed to report to congress who was responsible for the murder of journalist jamal to show. the murder of dramatic last october has mobilized members of congress against the saudi led war in yemen in fact as one republican noted democrats didn't seem concerned when the previous president began helping the bombardment of a country that would have been nice if our friends were equally concerned with president obama actually was committing us to kinds of activities we're talking about but things have changed and if anything anger has grown on capitol hill for several reasons the white house is refusal to meet a congressional deadline to definitively conclude whether crown prince mohammed bin salman was responsible for the killing a new york times report that revealed u.s. intelligence had intercepted a phone call in which the crown prince threatened to put

a bullet into the journalist reports that despite having been officially fired as a result of his role in the killing of south alcatel he remains a close aide of the crown prince and the report that u.s. weapons supplied to saudi arabia have ended up in the hands of al qaeda fighters in yemen but it was seen as a split between conservative and progressive democrats the republicans did manage to get bipartisan support for an amendment to the bill allowing the president to continue what it calls appropriate information sharing with the saudis last year a similar resolution was passed in the republican controlled senate an unprecedented assertion of congressional authority limiting the powers of a president to make war under the war powers act the resolution sponsors are hopeful it will pass again in the senate however without a two thirds majority from both chambers of congress president trump can and has indicated he will veto the bill the first veto of his term and the administration maintains it is acting appropriately america's not caring for america taken more

action in response to the tragic murder of jamal khashoggi i will continue to take more action but if the white house had hoped that opposition to saudi arabia would dissipate in washington in twenty nineteen they've been disappointed she ever tansey al-jazeera washington. there could be an announcement on friday of a general election in spain after m.p.'s rejected the minority socialist governments draft budget a decision is likely to be taken at a cabinet meeting among those who voted against the budget plan more seventeen parliamentarians from catalonia are angry over a trial of separatist leaders from the region with an election is held soon it will be spain's third in five years to a cheater joins us live now from madrid so david what's the latest from the supreme court then we'll get back to the politics. it's being called the trial of the century here in spain the supreme court in madrid. just

opening statements first will the the chief prosecutor he says this is nothing less than a trial in defense of the spanish democracy and it's a legitimate use of judicial authority but during the court proceedings this morning we also heard from one of the leading cattle and separatist leaders the former vice president. and he said that essentially he was a political prisoner so it's setting their lines of defense an attack as to exactly what's going to be happening now he also said that he was only going to answer questions from his defense lawyers he wouldn't answer questions from the prosecution side so there is the beginning of what might be a boycott of the judicial proceedings by the catalan separatists vito's facing twenty five years for rebellion now the prosecutors go to prove that it's the fact

that they were inciting and instigating the violence that was seen and there are hundreds of policeman who are going to be appearing giving witness statements in the court to prove. the authorities that it was. themselves who instigated that so if you look at the pictures in the defense. it looks more like the authorities the national authorities and the police were the ones who instigating the violence but at the end of the day three months. to find probably the sentences of twenty five years being legitimized by the call being passed by this court and then the only option is to go to the constitutional court and after that to the european court of human rights that's the scene setter that's going to go off a long time stream to all the televisions throughout spain every single day so every single day. the issue of catalonia and spanish democracy will be on those

television sets and part of the discussions by the whole nation so the potential for an early election what do we know about that one of the shelling. i wish we knew more but certainly he has a cabinet meeting a cabinet meeting. on friday and the local media here and when i suspect that they will announce an early election it wasn't until june next year but the speculation now is it could be either april fourteenth with a twenty eight or even push back into may we have a lot of regional elections and of course the european elections that's what it's looking like we are expecting an announcement on friday that there will be elections i don't see how any government continue without a budget having being effectively rejected by that vote in the parliament yesterday so yes the scene is set for a long long general election run up and all the signs that the right

wing is bidding to take control is a movement towards more towards the extreme right the vox party particularly and and of course that will mean that here in the supreme court the defendants will suddenly find themselves with a new government that doesn't have any intention of making any concessions or even talking about the future of catalonia they will be there to defend the spanish constitution and that's what this trial according to authorities is doing all right david. david thank you. venezuela's all important oil revenues are wanted by the opposition controlled congress opposition leader one point zero has named a new board of directors for the state oil company and its u.s. subsidiary the u.s. imposed sanctions on venezuela's oil industry last month president nicolas maduro described the sanctions as criminal trump says when doro is making a terrible mistake by blocking deliveries of foreign aid and the us president says

all options are on the table to force out the door oh newman reports in the capital caracas. opposition leader one why doest son's confident that nothing will stop him from bringing food and medical aid into than israel on for every twenty third from across the colombian and brazilian borders. the president nicolas maduro vols to use the army to block it calling the main the usaid an imperialist trojan horse. so what is plan b. in israel as army remains loyal to mother little. one suggestion from opposition coalition leader. is to accuse smug little of crimes against humanity if he blocks the aids passage when there is a genocide or crimes against humanity the world cannot stay in the front when we are asking is. peace a peace mission that helps. me the lever to those who are mostly

ahead on al-jazeera the heavyweight boxing champion who's stepping into undertone territory are we'll have that in sport.

every sport with tara. thank you so much rain have taken a step closer to the champions league quarter final to late go for mark with senseo gave the defending champions a two one victory and the first leg of their last sixteen tie with benzema also on the scoresheet for a rally in amsterdam the spanish side are aiming for a fourth straight title. and also your why did but if you want to work we know how

to play well and we played the game well at the moment so we had to work hard we worked hard at the moments we had to create opportunities we created opportunities and that shows the strength we have. taught them the dortmund three know a lot home in wednesday's other last sixteen matches all the goals coming in the second half sun here and men younger doeg and fernando llorente were the scores if you would have asked before the game we have a free no i would have said yes great result for us we're not there yet but. a big step was. the last thirty two zero bullied get started on thursday with the competition taking on added significance for chelsea's under pressure manager marie sorry last time out his team were beaten six nailed by manchester city in the premier league with chelsea's biggest defeat in close to thirty years and saw them fly down to six places in the table sorry and his side are now in sweden to take on

melo we know they're. not really because we have to. deal with it because. he. does it but. we want to react immediately the odds are against us thoughts on. eighteen million turnover against for the hundred fifty million or so stuart that's the reality. hoover forward thinking the leicester win supremely so anything can happen in football. video refereeing proved a success at the world cup in russia last year but a decision is yet to be made on its use in the women's world cup in france in june out of the tournament however female referees themselves are making major stripes funny in reports from doha. this could be the start of

a new era in football an all male tournaments officiated entirely by women. under seventeen teams from all major clubs like real madrid and p.s.g. are in qatar to compete for the outcast international cup and for the first time it's just women making the calls. this comes as an all female roster of referees and assistance was announced for the women's world cup in france this summer. the referees are using the tournaments to hone their skills on video assistant referee technology v.a.r. it was used at the men's world cup in russia and there's a good chance it will be introduced to the women's tournaments to our first goal is just to continue to improve the official so when we get to france that they are in top condition that we have support the tournament in a way that it deserves really the best referees and the best performances and i

really expect nothing less and this tournament and seminar here that we're in qatar is really the way that we can fine tune but with only a few months to go until the world cup fever has yet to make up its mind on using v a r and that's raising concerns that the women's tournament won't have the same level of refereeing persuasion as their male counterparts perhaps one day will see a woman take charge of a match at the men's world cup the german bundesliga broke new ground in twenty seventeen when they used a woman referee for the first time but that's still a rarity it's a sport dominated by men and like the players women officials still have a long way to go before they draw level. maintains that the training is to keep the same level of consistency among the male and female referees despite the very different challenges you have. you have to sacrifice your time.
