11:15 am
words the interviews that he's given on the international stage is why the united states is afraid of his words and they have sanctions him and what that means really is the future of the relationship between the 2 countries is not looking that they will ever likely to have any talks under the current circumstances thank you. time for a short break here al-jazeera when we come back we're on the road in argentina where mobile apps are helping workers and living in a struggling economy and we'll look at how democratic republic of congo's neighbors are preparing to tackle it bola as the virus spreads to a border city florida. hello we've got plenty of warm sunshine across the mediterranean gorgeous weather here
