trust. that you trust on al-jazeera. al-jazeera. and i am of the problem and this of the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes un-constitutional hong kong course was against a bad on face masks amid a violent standoff between police and protesters at a university. iran's president condemns protests of the rise in petrol prices and says poor families will stop seeing the benefits from the revenue and sri lanka's new president is sworn in and after a national campaign promising to crush what he calls religious extremism. in

support of the 119 years target is davis cup get some microbe out. of the new format but not everybody is happy. hong kong's high court has voted and emergency law bad and face masks worn by pro-democracy protesters as unconstitutional chief executive carol lam used bush era legislation to impose the bad and tobar well the courts rule that it was incompatible with hong kong basic law the bad on facemasks only inflame the situation with an escalation and protests of violence and destruction now on monday watch police surrounded a university campus after protesters who were holed up inside threw petrol bombs and shot arrows at them but police have started to arrest and now. protesters who

were trying to leave the campus china's foreign minister says it supports the actions of police don't you should really do i don't know if you've been following closely the developments in hong kong if you haven't if you are viewing the fact was an impartial view you could see that what is happening in hong kong is no longer a simple demonstration it is a handful of violent criminals conducting violence against civilians and they have affected social order and safety in hong kong but the police are doing is protecting the citizens lives and safety and keeping order. well let's go out talk to rob he's joining us live from hong kong it's been another busy day there rob arrests early as what's happening there now. that's right elizabeth this campus is very much in lockdown there's a very heavy police presence here at all the potential exits from this campus as you mentioned there were a number of arrests of mass arrests earlier in the day monday with protesters coming out whether they were coming out to surrender or coming out maybe to make

a break through it all fight their way through the barricades all of that remains a matter of contention but certainly there were a number of the rest but it remains a number of people inside the campus we don't even know the exact number it could be up to 100 copy several 100 depending on who you're talking to better think it's fair to assume that this monday evening as we get into another night here in hong kong there will be intense debate amongst those students just about what they do next how long they're going to hold on for whether they try to get out of this what the police would want to avoid certainly is is trying to storm this building it's one thing to clear barricades away from the surrounding streets but this is another thing to send in the offices into a building which has. student protesters who have may have had time to build prepared defenses and so on so they would want the remaining stupid. to give

themselves up they have said that if students come out they give up their weapons their face masks their helmets and give up peacefully then that will all go in their favor when they show up in court but they have made it very clear that they will go to court and they will face charges probably of rioting which carries a potential 10 year prison sentence here so it remains to be seen what the students do the students themselves are a bit suspicious of anything the police will say to them they believe that if they come out they may face being fired at the police have said that if they face again . face again petrol bombs which they regard as lethal weapons they have the right to use live ammunition in response now we have had during the day during this afternoon in fact attempted break out by 3 students who ran along a walkway chased along the walkway by police firing tear gas and also rubber bullets certainly not live ammunition but it does give you a sense that the police are determined that anybody that comes out of this campus

will be seized and will face court action elizabeth so particularly violent weekend robin one that's taking place before local elections were due i think on sunday i mean does it look like there's any chance that those will happen in this environment. well people are still talking about the elections taking place yes just under a week from now people are still out campaigning as though those elections will take place certainly most people would want them to take place there is some suspicion that maybe probe agene parties are slightly concerned that they're going to do badly at the ballot boxes as a result a consequence of this of this whole protest movement but there's no mention yet at least that those elections might be suspended so everyone is continuing with that but also people are way. to see what larger impact this protest and this upsurge in

violence is going to have on the wider protest movement it is interesting that this was the last campus where students were holding out they'd given up other campuses and this bit did become quite symbolic because active resistance as fellow protesters would see it and in fact it has sparked other protests around this area of cow lou we have a number of smaller hit and run style protests that have been taking place oh i'd also people using their vehicles to block roads always a way of trying to disrupt police reinforcements of this area and also trying to stretch police manpower as you know after 5 months plus of these intense protests the police. as exhausted as anybody else and so part of the protesters strategy in recent days has been to try to push them to make them to try to push their resources to the limit partly as

a way of giving the protesters inside here to take some of the pressure off them and possibly allowing maybe some of them more some more protesters from here to slip away a little bit rob thank you for that for now that is rob all the latest live in hong kong thank you but want to move on to other news now iran's president says families will start receiving financial assistance on monday the money will come from the encrease and petrol prices which is triggered protests around the country at least 2 people have been killed since the demonstrations began president hassan rouhani says while people have the right to protest they can spread and security. has moved from. nearly 20000000 iranians will receive the subsidies that the government has promised later on monday evening into their bank accounts following that the government has announced the next batch will be released into the people's bank accounts on thursday and the last group will receive their subsidies on sunday nearly 16. the iranians will get some kind of assistance from the government but

it's not clear how that will help them with this increase of they've seen over the past few days in fuel prices they will pop on friday morning to find that the price of petrol had gone up 3 fourths in the country that's when unrest broke out in various cities across the country and there have been a number of arrests and the government has said that although it is the people's rights protests it is not their right to riot the supreme leader has also made his position clear backing the government's decision to increase the fuel prices saying that it was a necessary step to ensure that ordinary iranians can make ends meet all this is as a result of united states sanctions on iran and the president has said that they tried everything to avoid doing this but in the end it was the only option they had now iranians are still angry and they're worried that that increase will also affect other aspects of their lives for now we are waiting to see what kind of assistance they will be getting later on monday and whether or not that will

actually have any kind of major impact on their daily life a new report from human rights watch says a violent crackdown on protesters and so don in june could amount to crimes against humanity the rights group says sudanese from france opened fire on protesters they also committed crimes of sexual violence what does that say members of the forces were seen throwing bodies into the revenue a paramilitary unit commanded by the deputy head of saddam's transitional government is accused of leading the attacks activists are demanding an independent inquiry and that those responsible held to account have been morgan has more form. walking down the street brings painful memories for he he says he was here on june 3rd one of found participating in a city that had been going on for 2 months when soldiers raided it he gets in the car to show us the scar left by the bullets. the soldiers came from all directions

and started firing at the protesters they burnt the tents where some of the protesters were we ran and hid inside a nearby building but they raided that and started beating us when i saw them beating the girls who were also hiding i told them to let the girls go and beat the men instead that's when one of the soldiers took an aim and told them to shoot. the sit in started in april after a month of anti-government protests against former president bashir the demonstrators demanded bashir step down accusing him of corruption and mismanaging the country which he ruled for 30 years these after the sit in fact the military council forced him from power and took over but it continued even after he was gone as talks between protest leaders and the military council dragged on they argued over who should run the country during its transitional period protesters demanded a civilian rule. after nearly 2 months the system came to a deadly end. medical groups aligned to the protest movement say 120 people were

killed and over 400 were injured during the raid by soldiers dozens were reported missing. the june 3rd attack did not just involve putting it on are protesters women and men reports of being raped a survivalist reported witnessing protestors some still alive being tied to a block and thrown into the river while a few feet away. the rights group human rights watch says what happened bad day could amount to crimes against humanity the evidence points to a clear pattern that is widespread and systematic and points to a policy that the government had adopted of using live ammunition against peaceful and unarmed protesters when crimes like this of the serious nature are committed as part of a systematic pattern of attack that they can qualify as crimes against

humanity a committee to investigate better cause to to by the transitional government sworn in in september it includes members from the military and the police sides protesters accuse of being involved in the attack of. offenses. and that took place on that the. offense is almost always noble or was committed by individuals not even even if it is executed by a force protesters say they want justice for the lives lost bad day and they won't rest until it's delivered morgan al-jazeera. now the you know gratian ceremony has been held for sri lankans do president. claimed victory after a campaign marked by nationalist rhetoric and promises of better security he now has the task of lifting the country out of an economic slump that was made worse by

the easter bombings that killed more than 260 people let's go to our correspondent in our financial issues joining us live from on the rather poor where the ceremony is taking place and president rajapaksa trying to sound conciliatory in his 1st address mel what do you have to say. that's right elizabeth the new president of sri lanka talking obviously about the choice of honor rather poor of for his swearing in thanking all the people that placed their trust in the saving of that obviously the majority saying he leaves buddhist community had been instrumental in bringing him to power saying that he did realize that he would come to power only with the single a vote however that he had extended the request of the muslim in time of communities to support him and he did sort of point out that despite the fact that he didn't get as much support as expected extending the invitation to these

communities to move forward with him or to basically build the country talking about the fact that what remains to be done is to unite together as one nation to rebuild this country now these are obviously attempts at pulling together the sort of vast sort of myriad of communities in this country and also trying to get over the very poor live eyes picture that seems to have emerged from these elections the majority saying hurley's community is strongly backing go to the rajapaksa whereas the minorities century throwing their weight before his rival behind his rival so it remains to be seen how he will walk towards bringing all these communities under one umbrella to go forward and absolutely menow given his history you know there are questions about whether he can be a president for all 3 lankans that aside he has many things to focus on now that he

is president the economy for one as we mentioned slowing economy made worse by those easter sunday bombings. that's right elizabeth obviously a mountain to climb for the new president i mean as much as we talked about sort of conciliatory gestures and the messaging that we heard of his swearing in in his inaugural address he will have to work hard to actually prove today's minority communities that he actually means what he says when he wants to bring everybody under one umbrella to work together and move forward as a nation but again he does have his work cut out for him because not only does he have to lift and carry sri lanka forward together moving beyond any divisions any suspicions but also to deal with the economic challenges this country has obviously

the economy pretty much in the doldrums we have a huge debt burden basically where we have a massive amount of debt that the government the state is carrying also we've had a downturn which has been exacerbated by the easter bombings we saw a sensually turn over foreign arrivals businesses really hitting rock bottom and whole thing beyond hope that there would be sort of light at the end of the tunnel so go to have a rajapaksa is not flinching from these challenges obviously he has to look at the nitty gritty and put down some kind of concrete plans a he has walked in the past with single mindedness in terms of bringing the war to a close after 26 years and people of sri lanka across the board are hoping that he can bring the same determination and the same efficiency to dealing with the economy and taking this country forward elizabeth and i'll thank you for that for

now that has been our financials live in thank you. now the international community is calling for the immediate release of libyan n.p.c. her said again where she was abducted from her home and benghazi in july her family says she was kidnapped by forces loyal to libyan war khalifa haftar after condemning him and his army during an interview with an egyptian television station or let's get more on this our correspondent with that there are those joining us live from the capital tripoli it is a very strong statement from many european nations about mrs kidnapping mark what are they saying yes indeed elizabeth 2 of the european countries along with the european union delegation to libya have issued this strongest statements expressing their deep concern. the disappearance and up duction of the libyan lawmaker from the city of one of those he. sergei were.

statement is all sort of calling for her immediate release in calling on the concern of authorities in the east of the country under the authorities of the warlord khalifa have dared to open an investigation into this abduction and disappearance of her and also to uncover her whereabouts this statement is all sort. confirming that this. this attack on the lawmaker is not going to be unnoticed it is and and it goes on to you know condemn attacks on politicians political activists members of civil society just how common has this been a newbie in the halls. this has been. so common. over the past 3 or 4 years especially since the

beginning of the military campaign led by the warlords really for have that in the east of the country that has that has been. a lot of attacks on political political activists and also parliament members including also opponents of the operation dignity led by forces loyal to the world a lot. we have been getting get reports from the east of libya especially and the city of that there have been lots of cases of exposure dish will killings and as you know elizabeth that. measure of the military would have to do with a fairly is accused by the international criminal court of committing war crimes in the east of the country and has demanded by the court but so far has done has not complied with the request of handing over to the i.c.c.

it is all right mahmoud thank you for that for now that is mark without the i have live in tripoli. plenty more ahead on news hour including a caution on his reach you don't need it goes on trial in barcelona accused of disobedience how the trouble campaign is turning political troubles and to fundraise and gobbled. up what the military. and it's a bad day for viral at a wild brazilian grand prix that's coming up with a hole in sports. catalonians leader kim porter is on trial in barcelona for alleged disobedience is accused of ignoring orders from the spanish election authority to remove them. one of support for the separatist movement from a government building where tensions have been high in the region since the jailing of a number of caution needed last month let's go to our correspondents on the guy to

go she is joining us live from boston i so it seems like a pretty minor offense on your but it could have major consequences for porter. absolutely is elizabeth and he stands to be barred from public office for up to 2 years if he is found guilty of the electoral board saying that in effect the accusation is that these symbols a tool of political propaganda well that all may be very well but. also suggested that what he is doing is representing his right to freedom of expression as well and here with me to talk more about that is political science professor sonny and dull she's also. electoral observant national lecturer looks over at sonia. said to his parents here is more not just defend himself

but also to accuse the central spanish government of of violating his rights the rights of cattle and illegally where does he stand yes i think there's a difference between the legal side and the political side he has set bond because he says this judiciary process a spot of the whole political strategy so i think he was very aware that what he was doing would have consequences but he kind of accepted this seeing it as a process and that he's willing to accept it seems so that's why he says he's here not to defend himself by this part of this political strategy that set the legal framework or the legal situation is that he had to. here or there from the electoral of story to saying you must withdraw any political symbols from public places like it have. in any democratic system during elections during campaign and he disobeyed but so it was quite obvious the legal thing there will be he will be

condemned the point here will be to see if it is like a very harsh sentence or it doesn't because for many people in particular in catalonia i would be seen as a political sentence once again if it is a very harsh sanction. given whole the heightened tensions that have been in the region especially since the sentencing politically how would this play into it will this be symbolic will it further the procession call so all in a sense well it could it could but i don't think it will really affect outside the prime defendant's movement it will see be seen as one sanction more or one again like the state playing its role inside different departments system or more i would say probably more affect the figure of president obama because he will join the group all affected by the state and then he will join like all this narrative of

the point and this movement of the state is that we care once and i think he's seen as a more from this side than we really affecting the whole print and system he will be probably barred from running for public positions and there will be a new president and again this is about like eroding the role of the state and the long term because it's been seen that you know a lot sorry it won't happen in the short term the deadlock that seems to continue thank you very much so the. trial itself is set to take place is taking place now and could take place up to about 4 days or even up to weeks but certainly it is part of the whole political crisis that has been bring him over weeks sunny thank you for that analysis on your diet. with the latest live in barcelona. now malaysia's former prime minister najib razak has appeared in court for his 3rd corruption trial he denies tampering with the investigation into one empty big

scandal and that he looted the state investment fund in a multi-billion dollar fraud he says the dozens of charges against him are politically motivated by malaysians new government seeking vengeance now back employees in lebanon remain on a nationwide strike over safety concerns the banking union began the strike last tuesday after thousands of protesters rallied in cities across the country the unions expected to meet on monday to discuss a security plan that would allow banks to reopen well let's take a closer look at the temporary measures imposed by lebanese banks they were going to set a weekly $1000.00 withdrawal limit from accounts so far transfers a broader only allowed to cover urgent personal expenses the banking union says the measures are to regulate the work of bank employees during what it calls exceptional circumstances but let's get more on this joining us from beirut as economists as they are very good to have you with us on al-jazeera so what impact

do you think these measures will have i mean how much will they help or hinder the banks and the economy after the month of protests. well 1st of all it left a lot of fears on the street for the business community and for the individual because if you have the money sometime it's not safe that they shut down for very long periods of them shut down for that long period of time but in the and we have an economic crisis a big economic crisis before the what they call it the revolution we had an economic problem a large that close to 90000000000 the service of that is huge and we didn't have really. and the site how we can and from this economic crisis now we have those big demonstration on the street actually the cost of borrowing has risen from endlessly even the center of buying wanted to charge its member running for 20 percent imagine if we have to go and borrow inventor national community what would

be the cost of capital so no it seems that shut down in the banking sectors. they fear there will be a drain on on their liquidity it affected every things and it's for the country into further recession and this really is the economic activity because in the and you are limited to how much money you can withdraw from the mine is that then you are limited how much you put money into a car into the economy to actually keep that going to keep the economy going mr was a you mentioned the dire economic straits that lebanon's economy was in before the protests began in fact the state of the economy was one of the reasons why protesters took to the streets before he resigned prime minister had e.d. said that you know banks should be taxed to raise revenue lebanon's banking sector has become very wealthy in the past few decades i mean is this something that you

think should happen and lebanon you're an economist what would you be advising the government to do here. well actually we have one of the lowest taxes in terms of corporate taxes in lebanon stand at 17 percent it's really below a lot of government around the world we can we can push taxes little higher we can be more progressive on the banking sector in the corporation and individual but in the end you don't want to push too much taxes on the system because the system is already exposed to large that of the government so now yes they made a lot of money their profit were tremendous they made almost 2b2b and have year after year only in the accumulated huge wealth at the expense of everybody else but you have to remember that their make their they make they made their money out of the investment in treasuries in government treasury no now are these government

treasury we are not sure of the government can keep paying their share and so we have to be very careful to look at their balance sheet to look at their economic condition some of these banks are traded and the international market in the london exchange at 70 percent of these banks down their share of down 73 percent so we have to be very careful how we look. char we look at how we carry forward any mandate of taxation but in the end there is a lot of concentration of wealth in lebannon and that has to be address through a progressive tax system mr was and i thank you for your time on this we do appreciate it for now that has come out as they live in a virtual thank you. now in a few moments we'll have the weather with rob but still ahead on the news hour blockading bolivia who's being blamed for causing food and fuel shortages by

bringing rodents to a standstill class i'm from it i'm alone i'm in the kalahari desert in south africa with the world's fastest cars being tested to break the land speed record. and japanese school children take a look at what a remote controlled olympics to look like that's coming up on arrival in us for. this last week the northern adriatic has not been the place to be in venice or the domination coast it's all been went on windy or both this of course is still venice experiencing high tides admittedly but the wind is piling up the water and the water the drains into lagoon from the mainland is also being added to by huge amounts right now more recently so last 24 hours the rain has moved away but of

course in higher ground that rain forest known up in the east and to are also the italian alps the austrian alps the snow was so great that there was almost a widespread avalanche warning effect i've seen and you may see in social media avalanches running through the streets in the tele in towns and the weather position today is a little better but just look what's happening here in the western med another one is winding up and guess where it's going well southerly winds generally would suggest things are moving in this direction so let me just expand a little bit and it's this persistent line that moves to the fertile bit that will be the problem now as i say today it's drier in this area to the east it's nice and warm to the west it's cold is that contrast in terms as it maintains a large amounts of water plus the fact evaporating over the mediterranean so rain returns to it's in the with snow so the elves need cumulation the next 3 days about 150 or so millimeters of rain. the weather sponsored by catherine

or claim victory after a campaign marked by nationalist rhetoric and promises of better security. another week of high profile hearings as expected in washington at the impeachment inquiry into president donald trump was allies and political enemies are arguing over whether he illegally sought help from ukraine to boost his chances of re-election rob reynolds reports from the u.s. capitol. with week 2 of televised impeachment hearings approaching democratic house speaker nancy pelosi pushed back against president donald trump's complaints that the process is unfair he has every opportunity to present his case but it's really a sad thing i mean what the president did was so much worse than even what richard nixon did that in some point richard nixon cared about the country and off to

recognize that this cannot continue palosi said trump made a serious mistake when he tweeted criticism of former u.s. ambassador to ukraine marie avan of it even while she was testifying on capitol hill that the words of the president weigh a ton they are very significant and he should not frivolously throw out insults but that's what he does i think part of it is his own. insecurity as an imposture i think he knows full well that. he's a gnat office. way over his head and so he has to do new mission everyone now one of trump's most ardent congressional defenders insists there is no with 1st hand evidence trump sought a quid pro quo with ukraine to hand over military aid in return for a ukrainian investigation into his political rival joe biden and biden's son hunter

who served on the board of ukrainian energy company no one's testify that there's been a quid pro quo i was got 2nd 3rd hand for 10 information another republican lawmaker who worked closely on ukrainian affairs suggested the entire matter being investigated in the impeachment inquiry should simply have been hushed up having this all come out into public has weakened that relationship is has exposed things that didn't need be exposed so this would have been far better off if we would just taken care of this behind the scenes this week the hearings will pick up steam with 8 heard or former u.s. officials due to testify one of them is gordon sawmilling the u.s. ambassador to the european union and sutherland will be on the hot seat because it omissions he made in earlier testimony about key phone calls he had with trump over ukraine robert oulds al-jazeera watching. and this committee held at reports

the impeachment process has actually helped president trump raise money for his campaign from the water before the 1st day of public hearings to impeach president donald trump or even over you're talking about the witch and is that what you mean trump's campaign was sending out e-mails portraying him as a victim of democrats determined to overturn the 2016 u.s. election to stop them the trump reelection campaign set out to raise $3000000.00 in 24 hours it exceeded that goal. trump as a fund raising phenomenon is nothing new for reality t.v. star turn president has a history of turning political gaffes into gold. take this moment at a recent rally in minneapolis as the impeachment inquiry was heating up truck turned the attention away from himself and on to the son of his political rival

former vice president joe biden trump is accused biden's son hunter of using his father's position to get onto the board of a ukrainian energy company. as well as i have an idea for a new t. shirt. i love the cups but let's do another t. shirt where's hunter the t. shirts were on trump's website within minutes of what we do we do that all the time more recently when trump's acting chief of staff mulvaney confirmed trump withheld aid to push ukraine to investigate biden the basis for the impeachment investigation most veiny said get over it another slogan for a campaign t. shirt trust fund raising is dwarfing his opponents in a recent 3 month span he raise $125000000.00 that's compared to his top democratic opponents elizabeth warren who raised $24600000.00 over the same period and joe biden who raise. just over 15000000 trumps communications director told me

trump has a gift for generating voter enthusiasm from the most controversial moments it's it's kind of in his character way to just sort of stick his finger in the i'm going to. win you systems and rallies we can very quickly turn them into 2 shirts you know it's it's more about branding and marketing than it is necessarily raising money on any particular i his image as a political outsider and disruptive force in u.s. politics is a carefully cultivated brand one tribe's banking on propelling his reelection. al-jazeera the white house. now to bolivia where people are facing food and fuel shortages as supporters of former president evo morales continue to block roads the new interim government says it's created an air bridge to the main city halls with military planes delivering supplies and they're working on similar plans in other

are koch. growers and they were trying to go through the main road towards the capitol but they were prevented by the police they had to escape and they're telling us that they were ambushed right and this. facebook live video was filmed by one of the protesters. was 18 years old and was shot in the stomach while filming the clashes live. he was killed that day. though is that. they are militarizing this whole area because they want to believe we are criminals they shot at us from everywhere and they can do it because we are poor. the actions of security forces are currently being investigated they're accused of using live ammunition and excessive force on demonstrators they enter american court of human rights says at least 9 people were killed here and over 130 were injured. man says the response by the military was disproportionate.

what happened was a massacre in this country they want to say it was a confrontation on friday the government issued a decree that exonerates the armed forces of any killing and one hour after that decree the police and the military started using live ammunition against protesters . the government says the protesters were infiltrated by foreigners and were using improvised weapons. we have asked the attorney general to investigate what her he told me the delay was we couldn't rule out of did not want to be the bodies we have asked the attorney general to investigate this as soon as possible because tropic was the launching pad for it will more or less political career as a leader of the growers federation many people here remain loyal to him and do not trust in the new interim administration many say at call for elections and political negotiations. to prevent further loss of life.

to colombia now where proper burials are at last being given to dozens of people 17 years after they were killed when a church was bombed all survivors off the fark rebel attack are finally able to mourn the 74 victims. reports. these miners have waited a very long time for this they the remains of the victims of the worst massacre committed by 5 rebels during the country's civil conflict are finally back where they belong almost 2 decades later oh oh white coffins for children brown for adults the young for those emiliano powerless you know my father i necessarily am my mother and i mean also he's my brother many of us while i was waiting for 6 of them were for you for the 1st time i feel some peace because we got our family back it's an important step because they will receive a christian burial but will never forget the pain and time they've left behind

a may 2nd 2002 confrontations between 5 gravels and paramilitary forces erupted in the riverside town of book in the western jungle province of choco a cylinder bomb blanched by the rebels fell on the church where the community took refuge at least 74 died in what became known as the bohai your massacre nearly everyone here was affected there's not much left of the old city of. the bodies mutilated by the bomb and it up in communal graves and the community fled to the closest city more than 3 hours that river when they came back they found their town at been razed to the ground. eventually a new town was built not far from the old one but the community remained in a state of suspended grief until the signing of a peace deal with 5 gravels in 2016. then a 2 and a half year long process to identify the remains started with the help of the

united nations fark leaders have since asked the community for forgiveness but while the rebels are gone many of the factors that led to the massacre remain in new york you know groups or reorganized or we don't know exactly who they are but certainly criminal groups they are there. going to colombia does not need just the military be about rural development social development and this is the most difficult. residents say fear persists as a remaining rebel group there yellin and paramilitary gangs vie for control of the region were illegal mining and cocaine trafficking damini can be more careful than i think this process and our work and that of the people that supported us through it all makes sense only if we make sure it will never happen again for now the community is finally able to begin the process of healing a wound that had remained open for far too long alison them.

on social media. i thought these were appallingly insensitive comments. vajra palling comments and he's a free citizen he can say whatever he likes but that doesn't mean he can't have regard to the to the grievous offense this would have caused the people whose homes have been burnt down and i'm sure to many christians around australia for him that is not their view at all right now after 119 years the davis cup is introducing a new format starting today in madrid the event is now rebranding itself as the world cup of tennis and fittingly it's the brainchild of world cup winning football in general this was the official launch in new york last year now originally the davis cup was played with a series of matches between 2 countries held throughout the year with the final taking place in the country of one of the finalists well that's now been scrapped in favor of this new week long event some big names involved include world number

one rafa nadal representing the higher serbia and that man there novak djokovic and obviously the former changes has. i think allowed us to share the stage with 18 other teams almost 90 players so it's going to be super exciting because you know there are so many ties it's going to be a lot of matches very little sculpting. but hopefully as well a lot of fun and good success rafa nadal are representing spain of course will back in october 28th scene it was announced the new format of the one week torment featuring 18 teams the countries will compete in 6 groups of 3 teams each time will consist of 2 singles and one doubles match on all the matches are best of 3 instead of best of 5 sets and the 6 group winners plus the 2 best 2nd place teams will qualify for the quarter finals but not everybody is happy with the new formats. i

make no secret. 2 of the biggest points of difference with davis cup and what the competition was about was one home in a why. you couldn't do that in any other format of tennis and great down and if you look at the pinnacle of our game the grand slams the best of 5 set so that was the other point of difference and so for me. this is a new format al boys get the opportunity to wear the green and gold and play for their country it doesn't matter if we apply marbles out there we're going to go out there and lead all on the line and do what we can for our country and let those into our country really well and make everyone proud back home and in terms of that nothing changes so we just have to deal with the format as best as we possible can and. the boys each and to get out there and represent well one man who decided not to play in the new davis cup is the newly crowned a.t.p. finals champion stefan's chip the greek captured his biggest career tartly in
