a funny game it's we've attends up on the day and it could done to be a couple of opportunities it presents itself for other sides. and there's a couple of games i've taken the is and we haven't so it's. come down to that again south korea's football team are considering complaining to fifo after their experience in pyongyang at the historic world cup qualifier against north korea the team arrived back in seoul on thursday with players saying their opponents were rough and used abusive language the goal is draw was played in an empty stadium and under a media blackout which frustrated many fans in the south the korean f.a. also don't believe north korea properly accommodated a visiting team with an official rules of conduct and we played a match as if we were fighting in a war i had never seen shouting like that the allies of the north korean plays rely with an egotist to win the game it's true that the white game is burdensome and i am proud of our players who did well in

a difficult circumstance well barcelona and real madrid have rejected a proposal to move their classico match away from barcelona because of protests in catalonia spain's the league had asked the spanish football federation for the move earlier after clashes in the city following the jailing of catalan separatist leaders the match is due to take place on saturday the 26th of october now to a sign that women's football is enjoying a surge in popularity after the world cup $90000.00 fans have bought tickets for england's friendly against germany next month it's the 1st time england's women have sold out london's wembley stadium and it's only $100.00 fans short of the world record that was set at the 1909 world cup final in pasadena california. and thousands of fans will turn out for beach soccer in the future if there are more goals like this one an amazing strike from brazilian player that helped them claim gold on the final day of world games and protect how beautiful spain finished top

of the medals table with 7 goals it's hoped these games will not be staged every 2 years. i can do that watson's for now and i could do that and that's it for me for the more news in just. and i would put out more in my take is very much our culture has been very harmful to the economy and the lives of many people challenging traditional attitudes how

narrowing the gender gap is helping women in who only come out what if keep poverty something that i'm not trying to break these barriers of my cheese mouth by giving women access to resources need the women leading the way. women make change on al-jazeera. it's a tough time for the afghan security forces taliban attacks have increased their suffering heavy casualties and the prospect of a withdrawal of u.s. forces hangs over them yet young men are still joining up some for putting reasons for others is the only way to get a job despite the risks midway's karimi was an army bomb disposal engineer in helmand province he knew the risks he was blinded in both eyes and lost a leg when a roadside device exploded as he try to defuse it always aware of the danger of seeing friends wounded while working on mines i wasn't scared to lose an arm or a leg is to sacrifice we have to like to serve this country. the environment

doesn't know any boundaries what goes out into the environment goes around the world. and crowns that it's a very modern way to. make poisons the measure of progress. the domestic population has come to. enough an active enough to believe. in their use of good will kill people or more vulnerable circle of poison on al-jazeera. we have arrived at an agreement with the british government that we draw of united kingdom from the european union boris johnson secures a deal with the e.u. but has yet to convince m.p.'s to pass it in parliament.

hello i'm a solitary and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up u.s. vice president mike pence arrives in turkey to push for a cease fire in northern syria a day after president other one rejected any mediation. shouted down again hong kong leaders called a liar by and you angry opposition legislators demanding her resignation. and catalonians regional chief calls for a new referendum on independence from spain after 3 days of violent protests. leaders from the united kingdom and european union say they have reached a deal on breaks it breaks of negotiation michelle banja says the deal all says the un session of a key sticking points on both sides but it still needs ratification from both the

e.u. and british parliaments well michel barnier described the difficulty of coming to an agreement on northern ireland that would prevent regional friction. obviously. when discussing the notion i mean we talk about the economy. about the technical matters about goods but let me say very frankly that for me since day one since the 3 years i worked the really matters the people. the people of nelson and diamond what really matters the speech is plenty to cover here so i will be talking this through with 3 of our correspondents firstly neave barker is live in belfast for us then we're in chalons is live in london but 1st let's speak to lawrence lee who's standing by in brussels laurence's all seems to have happened very quickly this morning how did we get here is this an exasperated european union just trying to get this finally over and done

with. well i mean they have in a way been laying the ground for this for some time and the and the concessions haven't been at all really from the european union side they've been from boris johnson the point about it from the european side is that their line has been led directly by the irish government in dublin and the rest of the 27 have steadfastly stood behind ireland and they've demanded 2 things 1st of all that there are no customs arrangements across the whole of the island of islands. to protect what they call the all and economy and the 2nd thing is that they don't want any our border inside of them because it would it would jeopardize the peace of the country in the way the michel barnier was talking about then the old deal that syriza may the former prime minister come up with satisfied all of those concerns that's why they were happy to go with it's obviously didn't satisfy the british parliament that's what kept getting kicked out this new deal satisfies them too because

primarily it puts most of the trade border not across ireland but in the city between the island of ireland and the rest of the u.k. so on that level the irish government and therefore the european union are entirely happy with it and boris johnson can say he's happy with it too because he doesn't says he would put the u.k. lots in this trade agreement through the backstop with the european union forever and a day so so on all those bases they're absolutely fine with it but they know just as well as everybody else does that actually is not about them any more so by the british parliament and arents what's the atmosphere like there this morning is this being viewed there is as a real victory that this is that this is progress despite the fact that lots of questions still remain about whether there.
