in turkey president richard attended prayers at an is temple mosque where he raised concerns about how morsi died and of course you knew the course from istanbul. oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa this is a special financial service for egypt's former president mohamed morsy hundreds of people gathered in a stumbles far to moscow to honor his life and struck a. wall. which of shien's here already agree. i was something changed in egypt after that and we not to forget him because he was a good leader show us oh there are people here believe the sparta loss of a leader the revolution will continue history shows that they are not the leaders is recreated and their leaders is walking around other leaders will continue or muslim but the worlds of the world are millions in the capital ankara

hundreds gathered outside the egyptian embassy in protest. talk is opposition leader criticized the charges morsi had faced and said the former leader should have been buried with the presidential honors earlier to say mosques like this one held prayers for deposed president mohamed morsy took a soft religious body had called for the nationwide special service many people here to part to remember the tips in leaders and protest against his treatment while in prison former politicians and morsi is cabinets believe the egyptian government's neglect of more so while in prison led to his death they have a mind of their own the force the cause of the surrender and acknowledge the regime otherwise they would kill for so they waited for years you know killing him through a slow process of medical negligence where that would provide again basic health care and having an independent international transparent investigation on the

circumstances of his that. this is the least the international community should do after the very years of many years of negligence yeah of the good deed you schools for taking care of any other. turkey's present treasurer paper john attended one of the special prayers in istanbul he said there are doubts about this case and blamed egyptian president dr fattah hull city for morse's death and that of other dissidents. really. i do not believe that morsi is death is a natural one such cowards that they are they did not hand over mohammed morsi is body to his family that iran has spoken out strongly against each of stu 1013 military coup that toppled morsi especially after turkey's own failed military coup nearly 3 years ago seen m.p.'s all of al-jazeera stumbled. islamic scholars a former her last leader and members of the egyptian diaspora all attended a ceremony for morsi in doha all reporter tamara sharon was there. absentee funeral

prayers have just concluded here in doha with hundreds of people gathering to pay their respects to the former president morsy the crowds are overflowing from inside the mosque on to the carpark outside and beyond significant figures participating including the former leader of the political wing of the. resistance palestinian resistance movement who from egyptian actor is. renowned as some excluders to separating us as well the significance of this gathering is the fact that the people who post here want to send a message to the egyptian authorities gotten despite attempts by the governments in egypt to prevent any similar if you know president place in egypt and despite the state's media essentially admitting to. the events of the death of. the legacy of egypt's only ever democratically elected president is

a legacy that goes beyond egypt and one that's will continue will not be forgotten as far as these people are concerned mohamed morsi did not want to represent a significance because he was like the president of egypt because he was the only democratically elected 11 who represented the aspirations of self-determination of freedom by being that 1st president chosen of the country and trying to 5th revolution in the presence of people like khaled mashal and others is also testament that's morsi was in as a champion of other causes like the struggle for freedom in palestine and other causes like the syrian revolution and so forth so prayers like these taking place in doha as well as malaysia turkey and other countries is testament that's the legacy of him and morsi not only lives on through the di sports community over traditions around the world but also among the other arab and muslim communities who are seeing mohamed morsi that champion of the over us. when leaders in malaysia and caterham also pay tribute in the home morsi and the reaction from other

governments particularly in the west has been largely muted where a challenge has more when mohamed morsi won egypt's historic election in june 2012 cautious congratulations for the muslim brotherhood politician came from leaders across the world then u.s. president barack obama said the united states would stand by the egyptian people as they fulfill the promise of their revolution the u.n. has banki moon congratulated morsi and called on him to spare no effort in ensuring the people of egypt realize their aspirations for greater democracy the promotion of human rights and a more prosperous and stable egypt for all of its citizens william hague the britain's foreign secretary of the time tweeted the people of egypt have elected a new president's i congratulate him and them on the results and the peaceful process well so far his death has provoked little condemnation from the west's

current government the u.s. state department has had only this to say former egyptian in prison and the mostly you haven't a thing no we saw we saw that the death threats are heard in the videos though and many of them as yet there's been no response at all from the u.k. government the french the germans or the e.u. the united nations calls for a thorough independent inquiry into the circumstances of mr morsy is death including the conditions of his detention morse's our i have type erdogan has been most outspoken. on our history we'll never forget the tyrants who put him in prison threatened him with the death penalty and caused his martyrdom. turkey's president called morsi a martyr who died fighting for the cause that he believed in. professor of political science at kuwait university he says despite the lack of reaction from world powers most his death is putting more pressure on the egyptian government to

me the most important reaction is the one coming from human rights watch coming from human rights organizations i think that's where it matters most it seems to me that the west is failing so many tests when it comes to human rights and when it comes to people said that that nation the people of the region do listen they have a pulse the people of the region and the people of egypt understand more than anybody else what has happened this death of. president morsi reflects full negligence when it comes to the way he was jailed and the conditions he was living under in jail. this requires an investigation into what has happened that i think is this the way it happened with haunt the government and the political system in egypt for a long time to come it will come back the way so many other issues do have an

impact this is a former president he was elected the 1st to be elected in history of egypt he was thrown out there arrested. and there was. a big issue of that came as a result of that particular change. he should not have been treated this way there should have been some sort of a reconciled before that there must have been a way out leaving him in jail in such a condition for 6 years with limited medical attention who is to blame isn't it the system is that there is deemed isn't it the president's. and more still ahead on the news hour including a united nations report highlights systemic failure in its handling of the crackdown against the hanger in mineral. facebook announces plans to launch a new digital currency in a move that could potentially shake up the global finance system. and questioned by

homes over the past week and move to camps like this. came during the day on monday we were in the fields we started to run towards our homes which at the satellite some people were burned alive inside their houses they killed people with machetes and we don't even know what they did with the bodies that's why we fled here. the lendu and he may have been fighting each other for generations tains of thousands died between 19092003 they communities a separated from each other it's the latest violence was sparked by an attack on 4 lendu merchants in the hema area. i didn't come here voluntarily but a group of people from the hills massacred and burned their villages we had no weapons so we couldn't do anything but watch our villages burn and our people die i lost a lot of members of my family survivors of last week's attack on the village of

a being protected by soldiers from the congolese army still i say they're terrified and want to leave the area if they can find a way around the linda rebels who have blocked the surrounding roads brian al jazeera. and his $38.00 people have been killed in central lollie in what's believed to be the latest in a series of reprisal attacks 5 people are still missing after gunmen on motorbikes attacked the villages of and you're on monday evening the victims were mostly ethnic duggan's. there's been a surge in violence between dawn farmers and pneumatic herders over the past few months welcome webb has more from what t. in central mali. we were in a camp of people from the group fled their villages following attacks and killings and now they're sheltering here basic structures like this made of plastic sheets and dry grass having left behind hearts and homes made of bricks people many of

them a nomadic herders but only the lucky ones were able to come with their animals that they depend on for their survival because many animals have been killed or stolen in the conflict another conflict is between forlornly herders and doggone farmers and the tit for tat killings have continued just on monday more than 3 dozen people from the day going to ethnic group were killed in 2 different villages that were attacked by militia and the conflict just seems to grow worse and worse not helped by an influx of arms into the country from the north that followed libya's civil war which began in 2011 and also the government here is accused of having very little presence here providing little security so minor disputes that have existed for generations between the 2 ethnic groups. into a bloody conflict. a court in kenya has perspective handing down the verdict the

suspects charged in the 2015 attack on the receipt university the 4 men who are now learn their fate on wednesday they face life in prison the killing of 148 people most of them students some of the survivors say the attackers initially killed indiscriminately but later released muslim students. a u.n. report has found systemic and structural failures in the way it handled the crackdown against the ringer in myanmar the 6 page report says many agencies under the un did not work together to decide a unified strategy is as officials could not agree on whether to take a robust public approach or pursue quiet diplomacy with me in march government report also blames the 15 member security council for not doing more to stop the attacks. human rights watch says the un security council is completely divided over its response to the crisis. well if it goes a certain way but really the problem is that they're not naming any names they're

not saying who on the u.n. country team or who in new york was responsible for this problem we have here is that this is a report about accountability where no one is held accountable alternately you know everybody blames the system everybody says that there needs to be better coordination there need to be better communication this is almost a parody of discussions about u.n. reform where you know the system is always to blame but no one is in charge of the system well i think that actually it should have been the un resident coordinator the person who is in charge of the u.n. country team in myanmar who presided over this mess and continually downplayed the severity of the crisis i mean she was basically silencing colleagues who wanted to talk up the issues of human rights and an increased warnings about the situation rakhine state instead she's been promoted she's now the u.n. accorded in india so i mean i think once again we see that talk about

accountability in the u.n. but really this is a check the box exercise trying to. basically protected myanmar from the kind of sanctions it should have faced from the u.n. security council you know there should have been refer all of what happened in rakhine state to the international criminal court but you know trying as blocking that to so i mean trying to is defending crimes against humanity and genocide by the burmese military and unfortunate because they're a permanent member of the un security council they get away with it just as in hong kong we're still demanding the resignation of chief executive carried despite a public apology is over a controversial extradition bill said sorry for the way she dealt with the bill which has been suspended and also the subsequent protest but it's not mcbride reports from hong kong many people believe it's still not enough. with anger still festering in spite of a statement apologizing for handling of this controversy hong kong's leader kerry

tried saying sorry in person i personally have to shoulder much of the responsibility. this has led to controversies this pillows and societies in society. for this i offer my most sincere apology so all people of hong kong the controversial extradition bill has provoked some of the worst scenes of violence involving police and demonstrators in decades and some of the biggest protest marches ever critics say would allow china to extradite political opponents to face summary trial in mainland courts protesters have been demanding the bill be withdrawn and for lamb to quit she did neither but said that suspending work on the bill would effectively kill it at least for now i have announced we were spent the legislative exercise and immediately that afternoon we

put a stop to the legislative exercise by informing the legislative council that the bill will no longer proceed to a 2nd reading debate but what kerry is offering still falls short of a complete withdrawal of this bill that it seems could be too much of a loss of face for her by association for beijing but that's exactly what her opponents are still demanding an alliance of pro-democracy and student groups are promising to continue their campaign of opposition carrying them it's actually presenting to the rest of the. administration it's going to be a lame duck and ministration because she would have a very hot governing of hong kong. after last sunday's unprecedented march by an estimated 2000000 people opposition groups do not want to lose the momentum but possibly using the expanded ranks of activists in more targeted

acts of civil disobedience where more people show that determination i believe this kind of massive mobilization would just force. government realized that it's time for them to respond on public opening. what seems certain hong kong is set for more political turmoil as the government and its opponents continue their battle of wills robin wright al-jazeera. the us or state has blocked saudi arabia from being added to a list of countries that recruit child soldiers it's believed my palm pairs decision goes against a state department recommendation for according to reports the department concluded saudi arabia has hired sudanese children to fight for the coalition in yemen a foreign militaries on the list are banned from receiving u.s. aid training and weapons when karl is the former deputy national intelligence

officer of a transnational threats at the cia he joins us live from boston thanks very much indeed for being with us so what do you make of the reports that on pay a block to the inclusion of saudi arabia on this list of countries that might use child soldiers. well we've been living for a couple of years the triumph of the primitives frankly over 25 percent i think it's much higher than that now all of the professional staff of the state department has either resigned retired or been forced to leave and one if anyone knows pompei a. political life one should not expect any statement of principle or truth to come out but only that which serves his perceived political interests and he serves donald trump and donald trump has decided to marry the united states to saudi arabia so saudi arabia can do no wrong which includes assassinating and then melting or chopping into pieces a journalist inside a saudi consulate and employing large numbers of child soldiers i

mean this the reports on employing child soldiers suggest that both sides in a you in a yemeni conflict had done it and you think a decision at this point would be linked to the the needs of the us of having saudi arabia one side as an ally in the midst of the attentions of iran. well that's exactly it you know there is a long tradition in the united states that the standard position for many years of u.s. policy has to side in these sunni shia tensions the saudi iranian tensions in the middle east with the sunni president obama change that policy it was an historic shift it's debatable whether it was wise or not i personally think that it was but that's certainly legitimately debatable and trump has gone back and then some to aligning with the sunni and the saudis now there's an added fillip for twist to this which is that it's less on principle and policy by trump as it is apparently

for a personal enrichment jarrad his son in law who's handling the issues has clearly been seduced by the saudis and the alignment is is with saudi there's another reason to that that's happened and that is u.s. policy is closely aligned with the release mimics that of the likud party in israel which. is very hostile to around and just to go back to the issue of the use of child soldiers how can send i mean we know that some republicans and democrats have tried to write to pump back in march and said they were gravely concerned by credible reports of a saudi led coalition deploying sudanese child fighters in yemen beyond writing to him today is there any kind of pushback you can expect from congress on this issue . well i think i think there will be pushback from the

democratic majority in the house of representatives and the democratic minority in the senate but the senate is remains controlled by the republican party and the republicans have almost literally to a person sold their souls and align themselves with donald trump so congress cannot do too much now the house does control has the power of the purse and that's a blunt instrument but it is conceivable that the house of representatives could vote a measure that would stop funding for one program or another or support for saudi arabia in some way or yemen or sudan that's conceivable but that's a blunt instrument and fraud was all sorts of political complexity we can call hank you very much indeed to take the time to do there. and the time. was actually upon payor says that washington does not want to go to war with iran but is sending $1000.00 additional troops to the middle east amid the increased

tensions phase of a confrontation between the 2 countries have increased since last thursday's attack on 2 oil tankers near the strait of hormuz shipping lane we have been engaged in many messages even this this moment right here communicating to iran that we are there to deter aggression president does not want war and we will continue to communicate that message while doing the things that are necessary to protect american interests in the region iran's president hassan rouhani insists his country had nothing to do with what happened to the tankers and he accuses the u.s. of trying to stir up conflict. american efforts in the region to cut our relations with the world and isolate iran have all been unsuccessful if certain companies in some countries don't want to cooperate with us because of us pressure we condemn america for this we don't want war with any nation those facing us are a group of politicians with little experience and there's more uncertainty at the

very top of the u.s. military just as tensions escalate with iran acting defense secretary patrick shanahan says he doesn't want the job full time because a family issues shanahan moved up from assistant defense secretary when jim mattis resigned at the end of last year during chief executive had no prior experience in national security a secretary of the army. will take over temporarily but when jordan has more from washington d.c. . the acting u.s. defense secretary patrick shanahan is leaving his post not because of anything that he has done while holding the job temporarily since the beginning of 2019 but because of news reports revealing that in the last decade there have been incidents of domestic violence in shanahan's family while shanahan was accused in one incident of hitting his wife she in turn was charged with assaulting him in a more serious incident their son was accused of beating of the his ex-wife with

a baseball bat seriously injuring her the son later went through the legal process and had his assault charges downgraded patrick shanahan released a statement late on tuesday afternoon suggesting that even though he wanted to lead the u.s. military and was very proud of the work that u.s. forces have been conducting around the world that he felt that his family's personal affairs would overshadow the work of the u.s. military and he felt that it was a distraction that could not be sustained he also said he did not want to do anything that would harm the well being of his 3 children michael s.p. who has been serving as the army secretary will be the acting defense secretary in the meantime but it's not clear yet with home the u.s. president donald trump will fill the role permanently there's already a call from members of congress for donald trump to send up a permanent nomination as quickly as possible especially in light of international

tensions particularly that between the u.s. and iran. still ahead. donald trump pull a fishing door to his reelection campaign for a 2nd presidential 10 where in a state that will be vital to his bed plus. a battle to be prime minister boris johnson surges ahead in the race to become britain's next leader. and in sports the talk of fast champion suffers a setback ahead of a big race baiter has the details. hello again welcome back to your international weather forecast across parts of western europe we have been dealing with some thunderstorms that you can see the storm system right now just making its way on towards the western coast of france into the english channel now that is going to cause some problems with more

thunderstorms as we go from wednesday and into thursday morning as well rain is expected here across paris maybe of even into amsterdam there for london you'll see some showers as well and then as we go towards thursday the rain kind of ends as we see the storm system push more towards the central part of europe here across central germany they could be severe as well for london though the rain's going to end but we're going to still see quite a few clouds and windy conditions across much of that area down towards the south though it is going to be quite nice across the iberian peninsula and we are going to see athens a sunny day for you with a temperature of 30 degrees there across another part of africa not too much in terms of rain we do have a few clouds here across parts of algeria as well as into tunisia tunis is going to be a very hot day there at $35.00 degrees over here towards tripoli a $28.00 in cairo we do expect to see a temperature there of about $39.00 degrees and over here towards parts of nigeria it is going to be a little bit drier than we have seen but lego's we do expect to see attempt to have

29. freezing winds and rugged terrain and at times seem impossible. but for afghan traders who brave the will concur that it's no choice. combating the impossible to sell their goods in isolated areas. we follow the daring journeys as they overcome the extremes. risking it all afghanistan on al jazeera. it really is the international perspective that sets al-jazeera apart some other news outlets beyond costs about 3 pounds adding up simply to power outages when journalism is about public service and making a difference in people's lives i'm amazed every day by the courting on al-jazeera and the places that my colleagues go it inspires me to take

a different approach to how i will use. or more of the top stories here not just here at the u.n. has called for an investigation into the death of egypt's only democratically elected president mohamed morsi he's been buried amid tight security in cairo a day after he collapsed and died inside a courtroom. i mean most is being remembered throughout the middle east in tunisia as parliament there was a prayer for morsi while hundreds gathered to remember him in libya's capital tripoli. a chinese national and a congolese soldier have been killed in an ambush by gunmen in the democratic

republic of congo it's suspected they were caught up in tribal fighting in a province that seen nearly 200 people killed in the last week. president donald trump has promised to begin removing millions of undocumented migrants you enter the united states illegally starting next week the house went was timed to coincide with the launch of his reelection campaign for $2020.00 critics say the deportations are not new and will only affect those already facing removal more than a 1000000 people who've been issued final deportation orders by federal judges remain in the u.s. where he was picked to hard in lang vice president for programs and policy at refugees international it says chance policies both legally and morally flawed u.s. immigration officials do not have the capacity to round up as many people and then put them on planes even if it would be a humane or legal thing to do really but the end of the day with the president's

proposing isn't strict contravention of united states has obligations under international conventions with refugees and others. in my view of u.s. law so long the short of it is a policy that can't be implemented a and b. shouldn't be implement them. trump has chosen to launch his reelection bid in florida a state that was crucial to his victory in 2016 and will be again if he hopes to retain the white house committee how could explains why for more under. political gain meet up voter 2020 u.s. presidential candidates will want to win over radio journalist william diaz is latino undecided and most importantly lives in florida the crown jewel in american politics republicans they are doing an excellent job in florida and to me they beasts are. and you know what

a moderate democrat he says republicans are simply more engaged he is came to the united states 30 years ago from venice wella despite president trump's hardline immigration policies he is considering voting for trump but he'll need to do more to support those suffering in venezuela more from their adoring. when truck visits orlando on tuesday to officially kicked off his campaign it's voters like d.s. hill need to convince trump's record over the past 2 years will be front and center i will build a great great wall trump's biggest $26.00 promise to build a wall along the southern border to stop illegal immigration has proven to be a challenge he was unable to secure funding from congress so he declared an emergency to start construction that's being challenged in the courts a recurring theme throughout his 1st 2 and a half years as his opposition uses legal means to oppose some of his biggest

policies those challenges included his travel ban on people from 5 muslim majority countries and although it faced widespread opposition initially trump managed to successfully implement it it also helps that he appointed 2 justices to the country's highest court as a candidate trump promised voters america 1st policies he made good on that pledge and angered u.s. allies and now saying he would withdraw the united states from the paris climate accord and pull out of the 2015 agreement to limit iran's nuclear program still the u.s. economy remains steady even as trump has picked fights with china mexico and europe accusing them of unfair trading practices expect to boast about a strong u.s. economy and historically low unemployment even among voters of color despite persistent criticism trauma's policies hurt minority voters. and we know that

florida is a state that's becoming increasingly brown and i think that's a that's a state where he's going to have to address that issue another problem for donald trump trying to convince voters to look past at least 15 investigations in 3 states looking into trump's business charity and campaign and even with the muller report behind him democrats in congress are still investigating generating problematic headlines for a president trying to win reelection can really help get al jazeera orlando the pro breaks it politician boris johnson has surged ahead in his bid to become the next british prime minister he's 80 votes clear of his nearest rival u.k. foreign secretary jeremy hunt both front runners are promising to leave the e.u. by the end of the year the fokker reports from london. raise your hands how interesting aren't you really wasn't that it was a time to kick off any of voices an opinion but all of these contenders say they'll

do all the outgoing prime minister fails to do deliver breaks it all we got here we can't let it go this is the 2nd t.v. debate between leadership hopefuls in 3 days 5 m.p.'s made the latest cut to become britain's next prime minister after a 2nd vote by conservative m.p.'s on tuesday boris johnson 126 leading the pack by a large margin is arch bragg city boys johnson really out of the limelight he was absent from the 1st t.v. debate on sunday before him to make his debate debut against this pair down group of rivals we must come out on the 31st of october because otherwise i'm afraid we face a catastrophic loss of confidence in politics we've already kicked the can down the road twice and i think the british people are getting fairly fed up with johnson's promise to negotiate a new brics a deal with the e.u. but insists the u.k.

will leave the bloc come what may on october 31st. compromising stances made him popular with those who want a clean break from brussels policy 80 votes behind johnson is the foreign secretary jeremy hunt described as a continuity to reason may not leaving the e.u. he said could be the end of the conservative party but he advocates working with the e.u. to negotiate a good departure deal secure it. environment secretary michael gove remains in 3rd place and in 4th international development secretary rory stewart has made surprising gains he's the only candidate rejecting a new deal breaks it all with you believing the 31st of october if you're leaving no deal on the table please will someone tell me how you are going to do it against the consent of parliament there is a secret knockout ballot every day this week until thursday by then the hope is will know who the final contenders are it's then down to members of the

conservative party to make better choices for posts or ballot only 4 weeks after that we have an idea if you can next prime minister will be wherever that is will not only have a massive impact on bracks it but on british politics going ahead for many months if not years to come. a successor to to reason may hasn't even been chosen but there's already talk about whether an early general election is likely to go as johnson's promise to take the country out of the e.u. without a deal has led to predictions of a snap election soon after the new prime minister takes office if it comes down to a crunch a vote many conservatives believe johnson's the only candidate that can avoid a crushing defeat in the polls bar couches era westminster. china is being accused of holding more than a 1000000 muslims in so-called reeducation camps in western province rights groups

a payment system next year powered by a new crypto currency called libra it will allow the platforms 2000000000 users to make payments with a currency via its own apps 28 major companies already backing the project including visa master card and pay pal as well as e-bay and spotify what say they will integrate the technology into their services. well comes of 2 parts money and wallet labor will be a digital currency backed by a pool of currencies and assets stored around the world and it will have an exchange rate for converting to traditional currency users will hold their currency in a digital wallet called caliber which is her facebook takes part transactions will take place and be recorded by block chain ensuring security but skeptics say facebook's record on data privacy and protection as well as how currency regulators in the u.s. and e.u. will react are concerns. lead goodman is a cryptic currency expert and author of the crypto trade and he joins me this year

thanks for coming in so we're just on that basis that the we've just heard from the . that congress is looking into this what do you make of their kind of reaction to it so far but it doesn't surprise me at all that various congress people are freaking out about this because frankly anything to do with the word cryptocurrency tends to scare lawmakers they're always several years behind the times with any kind of new technology and in terms of trying to regulate it and so on and they're very much playing catch up with big corn and other cryptocurrency and trying to sort of lay the ground rules after these currencies already come into existence it doesn't surprise me that maxine waters is is calling for a moratorium on the development here so what about this i mean that so facebook saying what they're what they're promising is something would be secure scalable and reliable but they have got the best track record on security there is that going to be the main thing that people worry about i think it is the main thing people worry about and it should be the main thing that people worry about because

the whole idea of crypto currencies in the 1st place when big corn was 1st invented one of the main things about it was that it would be decentralized that nobody would be in control of facebook are taking some of the good things about bitcoin and other crypto currencies and then being a kind of centralization aspect though at the same time they're very very keen to try and distance themselves from it because they're very aware of course about their political record about how people perceive them as being intrusive and so on and so what facebook are trying to do that that's why they've joined together with $28.00 other companies partners including visa master card vodafone and so on and the idea being that facebook isn't in control of everybody's in control but really what all these people want is access to people's data and that the bottom line. the way they put it in this document that's come out today is no we're not after your data your data will be protected you know a lot of people aren't buying that line of course because we've been fed it so many

times in the past before but but that's what they're trying to claim but more broadly do you think this is going to be this thing this this if they come up with it and it gets the go ahead will it be the move that that turns cryptocurrency mainstreamed you think it absolutely could be and in fact a lot of people i know in the crypt currency world who i thought would be very skeptical are actually quite excited because they think yes this could be the big breakthrough that makes people see the whole thing as kind of legitimate and of course the dream of cryptocurrency one of the dreams is the bank the arm bank 1700000000 people in this world who don't have access to banking and this could be the breakthrough that allows them to actually start transacting online and it's on that basis is it going to be the the banking sector that's more worried about this than in the end the kind of crypto currency types that's a very good point because in fact there are very conspicuously no banks in this consortium of 28 big companies and facebook so well will we be open to a kind of talking about that and so on but really i think that is what it comes

down to is that this could be a way we all know that the banks in most developed countries are very old fashioned in many ways and very stuck in their ways and so this really could be a development that could unseat the major banks in the developed economies and. i mean you know some people worry about some of the pitfalls of this but is that the idea behind block train is that. you took time to tell us what the good thing about the train is well that some of the good things that this won't have are well as i said decentralization the fact that nobody is in control of it a certain amount of security and also a certain amount of alan emitting which of course this won't really have this facebook currency will be what's called pseudolus which is kind of they're saying that they won't necessarily be toying with your spending habits using this crypto currency to your own facebook account so they won't necessarily know what you're spending your money on but again cynics worry well you already know so much about

where your users and then if you have access to this data about how they're spending their money is it really going to be that hard to push the 2 things together but thickly of regulatory agencies and governments start demanding information about how people are spending their money terrorists and so on to start with you know who knows where it couldn't have been good to talk to thank you very much lee thanks and 15 years after the last flight of concorde there are plans to build new supersonic passenger jets and with advanced technology and units say they could be cheaper and cleaner what about the reports from the paris air show. blake szell is preparing to bring back supersonic flight to the aviation world at the paris air show his company launched a project for a plane that could fly twice the speed of sound 50 years after concorde was designed with wind tunnels flight rules and drafting paper we now have carbon fiber

composite vacherot and amex and new engines that allow supersonic flight to be accessible to tens of millions of people and a way that's economically and environmentally sustainable the companies raised more than $100000000.00 to build a $55.00 c. to plane that aide says would be affordable and produce ciro carbon emissions they hope to have a prototype flying by 2020 it's not the only supersonic aircraft project a number of u.s. startups airlines and even nasa are in the race but commercial aviation has been hit before it's been more than 15 years since the british french concorde stopped flying it was a feat of engineering it could only fly over the sea it supersonic speeds though because of the very noisy sonic boom and despite his popularity it never broke even financially the challenges are there to commit to a world has changed as concorde. environment restrictions noice thing around airports have

a much stricter so how does that fit in on the other hand compensate structures materials see if the modeling engine technology they've all improved. it could be interesting to see how it turns out if supersonic travel becomes a reality again the 7 and a half hour flight between paris new york would be hard and a new generation of people could experience travelling through the sky at breathtaking speed and al-jazeera paris. still ahead on our air this news hour in sport peter we had to tell you why but no i pad is involved in a football match and attend school. business updates brought to you by qatar airways going places together.
