this pristine environment we've got endangered kid like you know pup fish also known as the sonoita pup fish right here in the stream you can see him swimming around over there are they an endangered species they are a lot of 4 endangered species here workers will pump water from underground to mix concrete for the barriers base possibly drying out this desert all wages which is just a few 100 meters from the border the barrier will block the normal migration routes of rare animal species like puma and antelope the human experience will also change a 50 kilometer 9 meter tall wall equipped with floodlights that are on all night long that's what's being proposed here and it's it's insane our night skies are going to be destroyed we're not going to see the stars anymore from the campground and it's going to be an eyesore this is a place that's designated wilderness it's supposed to look pristine and now it's

going to look like 50 kilometer prison wall in order to build the wall president trump declared a state of national emergency here on the border now that together with other legal loopholes has allowed the government to completely disregard numerous laws designed to protect environmentally sensitive areas like this environmentalists have taken the administration to court in an effort to slow or halt construction but for now the wall marches relentlessly forward. rob reynolds al-jazeera near solenoid mexico. now an american scientists who identified one of the key materials and rechargeable batteries has become the oldest nobel laureate in history 97 year old john b. good enough discovered let him cobalt oxide as a useful material back in 1979 he'll be sharing the prize with russians and stanley

was again who developed an early patient for the batteries and would japan's ikea yoshino whose work made unsafe more efficient and less expensive john good enough had a press conference shortly after the prize was announced and he says that if you live to 97 where you can do anything why the heures is. all i can say is. i didn't ever. before or forward to this particular day but i'm very happy that it's arrived it was very nice to receive receive a recognition yes well helen payne is the deputy chief executive of the royal society of chemistry and she says without the lithium ion battery were lots of other technologies would it be possible. i think the lithium battery is such a phenomenal thing for us in today's society but obviously as we move into an era

where we need to look more fossil fuel free technology and the increase in mobile technology being crazy so in wallace technology the lithium batteries will run to us so i think it's because of the widespread use and also looking forward to electric cars and all the other things that we're going to need to use the trees for in the future i think thoughtfully and that was such a fantastic time for these 3 phenomenal scientists we recognize every time you pick up your mobile phone every time you want to make a phone call all in with any form of wireless technology and if anything technology driven then you are using some form of lithium ion battery and therefore it's all around us in the public and science has become very reliant on this type of technology so that we can make other advances in terms of medicine but also more widely in communications with the sports news to lead on the news hour.

it is time for sports now here's peta. thank you very much female football fans in iran are looking forward to a rare occasion some of being allowed to join the crowd to watch the world cup qualify for the 1st time 4000 women's tickets were sold out within minutes of going online for thursday's match between iran and cambodia threats from football's world governing body fever has forced the iranian government to lift its ban on women at

games same as more from sarah. in iran women take football as seriously as men do. but one of the reasons these young players are training indoors it's too expensive for this club to use a full size outdoor football field their coach says they'll get there but progress is slow and limited him says what we've done so far is good but there is more to clubs need to pay more attention to women for a 5th of the budget of the men's team they can have a women's team as well. football in iran has been in the spotlight once again after a female fan committed suicide in september so just wanted to watch her favorite team play so like many young iranian women have done in the past she tried to enter the stadium dressed like a man police charged her with violating public chastity and assaulting an officer facing jail time and reportedly in a fragile mental state she left the court doused herself in gasoline and set

herself on fire members of the team she loved say it never should have happened you know. what happened really hurt the hearts of all arabians and i think a good thing from now on is to open a powerful women's entry to stadiums and her memory would remain a large forever. unfortunately this tragic incident happened and no one is happy about it women work and live shoulder to shoulder with them and this country i think their presence in the stadium regardless of the strategy too will have a positive impact on football following her death before threatened to ban iran's national team if the government didn't allow women into stadiums iran agree. but critics say a few 1000 seats in a stadium designed 480000 isn't enough the government says for a conservative islamic country this is a big step the path forward is clear and so horrible they are a suicide is best left in the past the general feeling is that we just hope that these don't these events don't happen any longer and that girls woman

everywhere in the world they have the opportunity to advance. they look to the future with hope. on the pitch or in the stands women we spoke to said they just want to be treated equally and whatever happens next so who they are a suicide will forever remain a tragic episode in the fight by female fans to watch football in iraq. as in basra the old is here at the iran. an argentine a stall you know messy has revealed how he almost quit the club following a spanish tex evasion case messy and he saw they were found guilty of text back in 2017 the current world player of the year said he felt he wasn't being treated fairly by the spanish government. at that time with the mess of the treasury i had the mind to leave i didn't want to leave barcelona but i felt i had to leave spain i felt that i was being very mistreated and i didn't want to stay here i

think many teams would have been happy for me to join them but i never had an official offer because everyone knew my idea was to stay in barcelona however the tax issue was bigger than my feelings about this club for everything that i was suffering personally missy is currently serving a 3 month ban from international football so he wasn't available for argentina's game against germany on wednesday. well they did come back from 2 goals down to draw 22 indorsements a not a bad result for them that 7 time european cup winners ac milan have named a former ins a coach as they new manager stephanie pioli who coached into during the 201617 season replaces marco jump pollo who were sector after just 7 games in charge he's past association with their city rivals hasn't impressed ac milan fans with piolo outs already trending on twitter in italy. the dispute between the n.b.a. and china is showing no sign of ending the league has now postponed wednesday's general media stations in shanghai for the l.a. lakers and the brooklyn nets at least 2 other n.b.a.

a top sports conference in london global sports are increasingly having to walk a political tightrope the willing sat down with one of the men behind the world's main ticket agencies stubhub. obviously expanding markets comes with risks it comes with opportunities and the leagues are incredibly well equipped with the personnel that they have with the consultants that they hire to be able to navigate the broadcast markets for example which are completely different in china than they are in india than they are in the philippines than they are in brazil and all of those represent massive opportunities for these leaks so it is definitely a tight rope it is one that. i believe that the leagues are well equipped to handle and i think it's something that your own only going to see increased there is no doubt about the fact that sports are becoming more and more global and that is a good thing for everyone there's geopolitics in operating businesses anywhere in

the world it's it comes with the opportunity and it requires a lens through which to look at it and and whether it's companies like stubhub or whether it's the leagues that are in charge of the content. it's something that we have to be well informed on and that we have to be very careful about as we look at at expanding but the bottom line is it's such an amazing opportunity scotland's rugby world cup quarter final hopes are hanging in the balance that's the spotlight's this 61 mill thrashing over russia on wednesday a win against japan in the next game would guarantee their spot in the last 8 however it looks likely that they match against the hosts on sunday will be cooled off due to a super typhoon which will hit japan in the next few days. wales are definitely on their way to the quarter finals though despite going 10 mill down after only mine when it's against fiji they recovered to win $2917.00 and josh

and welcome to al-jazeera live from my headquarters in doha with me elizabeth bron and also ahead. 2 people are shot dead in germany in what's now being treated as an anti sematic attack. police and ecuador to fend off protesters marching against the president's austerity plus. a hero's welcome as a media magnate turned presidential contender walks out of prison in time for to run off for that. turkey has launched a ground offensive the northeast and syria just hours after its warplanes an artillery began hitting territory held by kurdish led fighters well turkey's

military operation is designed to clear its border all of could as fighters the army says it's hit $181.00 targets so far charles trafford as an play on the to fish syrian border he sent us this report. turkish forces of the syrian rebel attack kurdish positions in northeast syria pounding them with strikes and artillery barrage is it a close. break just days after u.s. troops pulled back from the area. leaders have described the offensive as dangerous and reckless and warn it will strengthen regional stability the turkish vice president sees it differently. this operation will be a source of peace and will bring peace and we'll sort out the syrian crisis in a radical way this operation led by president race of tayyip erdogan as one of the steps and one of the procedures among other steps taken by president for the sake

of syria and for keeping the unity of syria. president received the type says the aim of the offensive is to eliminate what he. alone turkey southern border. he also wants to establish a safe zone in site territory currently held by the kurdish late syrian democratic forces where 2000000 refugees currently hosted in turkey can be settled. the s.d.f. says the offensive has caused widespread panic evacuations that will trigger a new humanitarian crisis and i know the better we saw 2 tanks in front of our village so we left fearing that out children might get hurt following the shelling of the village most residents have left but some young men have stayed. the kurds have been key players in the fight against isis in syria the s.d.f.

of appeal to the united states and its allies to establish a no fly zone to protect it from turkey should tax that's not done at the king i'm a good idea nigel martyn of out of 1 the to take back to earth united for the master me to die i should say it is trying to lengthen the life of these groups we do not agree to any attacks by taki and by supporting them and the world needs to be behind the attack on the northeast of syria the turkish government describes the main fighting force of the s.d.f. as a terrorist organization leaked to the outlawed kurdistan workers' party the p.k. k. which is fault against the turkish government for decades. earlier one sees this military operation as a chance to weaken an old enemy but the international community is worried about the prospects of more suffering for the people of syria as well as the security implications of this move. turkey has so far off wouldn't go clear planning about how to deal with thousands of jailed eisel fighters the syrian side of the border.

the turkish defense ministry says a ground incursion into syria has begun and there are rising fears for the hundreds of thousands of civilians living close to the border many of whom fled to s.t.'s controlled territory to safety in a country that has already suffered years of war shall stop at al-jazeera on the turkish syrian border let's go now to talk. in his life was in washington d.c. and president trump the white house issuing a strongly worded warning to taking office. that's right and it's a warning which the president did repeat during a rambling press encounter later on wednesday afternoon essentially that the u.s. does not approve of this invasion and that it's up to turkey to guarantee that it does not do anything else side the balance of war during this military operation the president also stressed that u.s. forces who had been in northeastern syria to work with kurdish fighters to make

certain that isolate forces didn't reconstitute themselves he said that this is all part of the u.s. a strategy to a not be involved in more conflict in the middle east here's a bit more of what donald trump had to say on wednesday ross i i do apologize we don't actually have that recording from president trump so can you talk us through what he said and exactly in that conference. well essentially he said that he is making it very clear to the government of president. on that if it goes outside the bounds of acceptable warfare that the u.s. would basically punish turkey by quote destroying turkey's economy now how would that happen that's a really good question elizabeth because in 2018 when the u.s.

was upset that i had kept in custody an american minister and wasn't willing to release him what the u.s. did was then put travel sanctions on the justice minister and on the interior minister once mr bronson was released from turkish custody those travel restrictions went away now that's not the same as going after an entire swath of the turkish government but in the case of iran there does seem to be some president now set by this administration in terms of targeting members of the i.r.g.c. and could force for their work in promoting what the u.s. is calling regional instability and if arius behavior now will the u.s. do the same thing to a country that is a fellow member of nato that's been a longstanding ally of the united states well that's certainly what members of congress are just gusen they're now working on legislation that would require and

impose sanctions on many top leaders in the turkish government including against president urged one himself seizing his assets here in the united states imposing travel bans of far reaching set of policies to send a message to that going after the kurds whole scale is not acceptable the big question elizabeth is going to be one when congress reconvenes next week will they still be as angry as they have been saying all this we. about the situation in northeast syria and 2 are they actually going to have enough people from both parties in both chambers of congress who can override a presidential veto if what if this bill did reach the president's desk a lot of speculation at this point but certainly as of tonight here in washington members of congress from both parties are very upset about the invasion by turkish

forces into northeastern syria thank you very much for that finale that is roslyn jordan with all the very latest from washington d.c. thank you well an announcement from the international committee of the red cross says tens of thousands of people are at great risk from the incursion. if we talk about northeast syria in general we're talking about tens of thousands of people who have been displaced. whether they're in in camps in detention in towns in villages we know that in the. province we have the whole camp where there are approximately 68000 people of whom 90 percent are women and children so certainly we are talking about tens of thousands of people who are potentially in great risk if they if they come under. if they're in harm's way in terms of this fighting. now russian president vladimir putin says

turkey is to avoid any steps in syria that could damage its peace process and moscow is blaming the u.s. for instability in the region. the americans organized cause a state structures in northeastern syria and shared people's livelihoods and viability and actively promoted the kurdish issue in a way that arab tribes who traditionally lived on these territories used to object to it's now a very dangerous game such a reckless attitude to this highly sensitive subject can set fire to the entire region and we have to avoid it at any cost we are communicating this position to the u.s. i hope they hear us but practically we can't yet see any serious changes of their inconsistent and contradictory policy and the talk has more from paris now on the e.u. is reaction to turkey's offensive. in this statement the e.u.'s foreign policy chief federica mockery really outlines the e.u.'s position and that is that the e.u. is calling on turkey to stop all military action mongering he says that that

military action simply cannot lead to any form of sustainable solution that could only be achieved through negotiations or talks marini also says it is member states are extremely concerned over the issue of security over further destabilizing an already volatile region and possibly seeing a resurgence of eisel fighters the coalition partners including turkey have been working very hard to combat moderate he also says that turkey is of course a a close ally of the european union and has hosted many syrian refugees and there is real concern in the european union that this violence in northern syria could lead to a new wave of refugees in europe who want to move on to other news now 2 people have been shot dead after a gunman opened fire outside a synagogue in germany worshippers were marking yom kippur the holiest day in the jewish calendar there ed shooter is currently in police custody anderson and
