obviously welcome this if it's a voluntary return and if it's a sustainable return if it's a return to safety and dignity i cannot predict whether it is return will take place in such a condition but that's really your court we have to follow any party to any part to any country who wants to help the return of syrians yes but with dignity and safety and sustainable still had on al-jazeera. by obstructing justice refusing to comply with the inquiry he's already convicted. former vice president joe biden calls for donald trump's impeachment saying the u.s. president has betrayed the nation. and how the n.b.a. is struggling to repair relations with its biggest overseas markets and what it has problems mean for other western businesses in china.

a very small cup of coffee millions of people around the world exist on less than this amount a day of the numbers have gone down but there's still a lot of work to be done at a time when the world is looking at how to reduce extreme poverty the spotlight has been turned on women wherever they have the opportunity to be actively involved in the local communities and economies the huge benefits to the people around them to local communists and researches know that investing in winning. it's not just the right thing to do it's smart economics because there's a ripple effect that spites into the wider community so let's take a look at how this works down at the ground. kicking a ball transforming the community these 2 things really are connected in one definition tehran is a woman making change typically in her community it's the boys who play sports the

police state has been on a mission to get more women and girls to play football it keeps them fits it boost their confidence but that's just the beginning of. my members are felicity rheumatica i live in kigali rwanda and underfund and see the. sports just in short of course i'm very sort of using football to empower women. women of the muslim and other book after the genocide. there were several times the husband left them they were killed children were killed and they didn't have hope for the future and by then i was having a beauty salon where was making there are sometimes you see them just crying just

coming out of their eyes because they could recall of what happened during the genocide. so we needed to do something that could change their minds that this is what has that thinking of sports. whenever you want to bring a change there's always existed because of the cultural beliefs because of people who have different understanding. and. want to talk to me said the woman in the brand of sports should be dancing and singing asking girls you know let's use at least a board they said if you accuse a book then you have to play basketball volleyball using cards but you should never

think of the league because that's a mere sport so i said i'm going now to put in my ear for the ok. so this is how i started to call these girls too but with. some are never told but i do i'm a tool and it will be a good thing. i could. have over even meeting with him to morrow home just for. me to call in the shooting. quick to do. i mean the real tragic consequences for women and sometimes a mission that's

a few come to watch them either many laugh at us think they can torture women start mentality is still there for them. when i go where young. women with you and what you make them be what they tell me. are you teaching with. oh you never come to see. what i mean you know for me to go 122 feet so this business. owner could see them just extending both i'll just get excited. you guys coming together was made to work together i was genuine mechanical people women now coming out even those were affected during the genocide which were always remained behind or as things were changing. they just took together so that they may come to fix the issues. they now understand that i'm feeling sort of by school. and she joined forces with good

sport to be physically fit in the manual be clear and then the next question. you think it was ok. i want to say this it's a fact i said we need to start a human football team and the key this. goes you have men's team and this it is not only for men. in national champions league it was started with it's teams but now we have a different team teams which is so exciting what's you know what i would like to.

deny me this is a britain you know knox is the coach of the guardian she's the national women's coach she's one of our 1st guys who came to our program. i know if the governor was to be like crap. ok i would. pushes them to speak younger so we want to reach a stage which has become a star. after coming in this team they get the confidence because of what today they learned through training they became a shop. so they let us continue our training. i was told of the result. was our mother i want to have yeah very much so you can see the guys that will do something and now because of her and they're all off football and all these you see some of them were not even able to have school fees but because of becoming a good player this tookie was paying for the school fees so you find that it's just

not about on the football they have been able to help their family come out of poverty so so many things are fucked. like you can never sell you know. one bank which is a good is a. new almost runnable new proposal part of me and i'm quite in the hunt there are more of the money recovered why would you album could you know what do you know if you album with your boy or more when you talk about what i want to get done when you know i no longer was a member. so

did i'm going to endorse it how did you do for the. i think that i'm going to jennifer to what are you a home as a witch in your food to burgle young for your quick gun is a. judge of joshi and what if for me i recall the whole muddying with enough of the bird or. dead in their own user. name leave it there you show me your method you. know how did you know all. learn your local it was a little murder you would end it as a law now and you might not get enough to but i am division now which out and i will my g o 9 divine and an intervention but it all 98 what if the world now you know exactly it is a cultural kind almost 39 years on which i knew most dark islands are getting and what you will cause. from cars are one the worst of these

because of the why was there some rush awkward up where there were mush i will go up is that the most awkward but i was thoughtful i want to show cause our enemies to do our sport minister to us for all we're far from our core he'd go going to if you will of what i what i did that my whole. comment on why does it show us as a one way to go to war but the profit if you give your job what would quite worn your. support. it's not only about football but it's to say about acquiring other skills so this also has moved him to become self-confident and to take divide you. know yes. yes yes.

that's a little. longer. you. know i thought how am i going to introduce this in the. country. i'm with this again and now going to visit the eastern province in this sector known as. we know that we get some challenges but to never give up and then slowly by slowly they're turned their mind and you know there is this belief that if they've got a pretty football she's going to grow tight muscles so they're not going to become like a fun. how should i not get. to know that's that is what i have to fight against. sometimes i cry when i tell people they don't understand

they try to ignore something that's coming out because sometimes people say no it's not it's wonderful just wait for next year or whatever i say why not people don't understand so i feel like busting it when i see things walking them. did. this is where we are going. this is. a primary school where i was usually between men and women will go through those. questions.
