france has seen some of the biggest recent protests over black lives matter. al-jazeera world goes to some of its least privileged communities. where treatment by the police is still a contentious issue. harris a divided city on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. again i'm peter w. watching the news hour live from doha coming up the next 60 minutes 2 people were killed in iraq during renewed protests against corruption unemployment and poor public services. china takes control of what was the u.s. consulate in the city of chengdu after its ordered shut in

a worsening diplomatic dispute. demonstrations in the philippines against president . as he says he won't reopen schools until a covert 19 vaccine becomes available. at the police canine school in santiago chile i'll tell you how these dogs may be able to tell you whether or not you're infected the cold at night. and how much with all the sporting event crowned the italian champions a again christian or help the team came this title for a 9th straight season. let's get going to iraq where protesters say they are fed up with corruption unemployment and poor public services in anti government rallies overnight in baghdad at least 2 people were killed. they're the 1st fatalities during demonstrations since the

prime minister. was sworn into office iraq has seen months of unrest as it deals with an economic crisis and ongoing political instability simona fulton joins us live from baghdad simona just explain to us the circumstances surrounding these 2 people who have lost their lives. well these anti-government protests started in october last year and there were the largest demonstrations that we have seen in iraq since 2003 but then over the months as the security forces used violence to crack down on the demonstrators and also because of the coronavirus endemic and disillusions we have seen that the that the demonstrations have largely died down since the beginning of this year with only a few dozen demonstrators remaining in tahrir square now what we have seen over the past 2 or 3 weeks is once again a rise in demonstrations not just here in baghdad but also in the southern provinces and these demonstrations have been very much driven by the lack of

services including electricity it is at the moment over 50 degrees in iraq but many people have only access to a few hours of electricity per day so these years of grievances have once again boiled over they've once again driven the people to the streets and we are now seeing larger numbers again gathering and this is what happened last night where there was a group of demonstrators that marched from tahrir square in the direction of the square and this is when security forces opened fire using a live i mention killing at least 2 demonstrators and injuring dozens more it's also important because these are the 1st fatalities related to the protests that have happened since prime minister most of the me took office in may and he's somebody who has promised has made a plan to try to 1st of all make a long list of all of the over 600 demonstrators have lost their lives in these protests and to try to bring about some sort of accountability but also

compensation for their families so while this process is ongoing and the prime minister tweeted about it just last night we also now seem to have once again a surge in violence so it remains to be seen how the prime minister will react his spokesperson did condemn the events and promised investigation. he said that security forces have been ordered to only use force as a last resort so we'll have to see how the prime minister will react whether there will be some kind of strong stance against what happened last night and whether also we will see a further escalation in demonstration in response to this latest violence does the prime minister when we talk about the security services engaging with the protesters does mr carter me have total control of his people on the ground. this is a very good question peter because there have been since the beginning of the protests many accusations that part of the security forces who are cracking down on

demonstrators are actually acting outside of the chain of command that some of them are wearing civilian clothing that some of them have been longing to armed groups that are not actually part of the anti riot police so those accusations have existed since the beginning but until now we have never really had a conclusive investigations that has really determined who those people are so this question remains very difficult to answer and there is there is a possibility that on the one hand it could be that the prime minister has limited ability to control what happens on the ground but we also don't know the exact circumstances of what happened last night there have been attempts by several parties political parties as well as i'm groups to infiltrate the protests and to provoke the security forces so until we actually know what exactly transpired how exactly exactly the situation escalated it is difficult to say but what is what is certain though that prime minister mr park calamy has moved against certain armed

groups in iraq to try to restrain their weapons in the hands of the state and he has faced a backlash against these actions so it remains to be seen how he will react after this latest incident and what his next steps will be ok so we'll leave it there for the meantime thank you very much to mona fulton our correspondent in baghdad. officially closed the u.s. consulate in the southwestern city of chengdu beijing ordered the shutdown on friday after washington demanded china's consulate in houston texas cease operations saying it had been involved in katrina you reports now from chengdu. after 35 years of officially building ties between beijing and washington further evidence of a fraying relationship the u.s. consulate in chengdu has officially been shut down chinese government stuff entered the consulate shortly after it was vacated on monday morning beijing says the move

many fear the damage will be difficult to reverse katrina you al-jazeera to do. the philippines president defended his government's response to the pandemic saying it prevented between one and 3000000 extra infections in his annual state of the nation address. also highlighted the success of the law but admitted they were slow in rolling out testing the speech comes as around 2000 people gathered outside a university in manila to protest against his policies mr tertius been accused of mishandling the response to the pandemic and criticized over a new antiterrorism law our correspondent is in manila she has. on white people or roach protesting. the president's state of the nation speech is a rare event when the president is actually and all of his achievements are made closer to the public but over the past few years specially this year it has been increasingly overshadowed and mired by protests comes at

a very precarious time this is one of the last state of the nation address of the president is supposed to step down in 2022 it comes as the biggest media network in the country has been shut down forcibly shut down by congress that did not renew its franchise a draconian according to activists anti terror law has taken into effect and just a few days ago when for example local journalists in the southern philippines received death threats and another independent online news site north of manila has been raided by police so you know here at this point what they're saying basically they are not very confident that she meant our real achievements that effect change on the ordinary people the philippines is still struggling to deal with the pandemic sauza as of new cases every day an economy currently in recession and an unknown future for students because according to the government there will be no face to face session or classes in the coming months we're hearing the kind of

state of the nation situation in numerated by activists here they say if they were to give the president a mark it would be a passing one. dozens of the refugees feared drowned while trying to swim to malaysian shores have been found alive the coast guard says they were hiding in bushes on a small island all have been detained as malaysia doesn't recognize refugee status more than 700000 reindeer fled me in ma after the military crackdown back in 2017 most a living in camps across the border in bangladesh let's get more from florence louie joining us live here on the news out of kuala lumpur florence what do we think happens to these people next. well they're now being housed by the coast guards all of them have been detained the authorities say they're being held for further questioning they're also going to be tested for corona virus now in a day and additionally authorities also say they have arrested another 2 rohingya

migrants who are suspected of having smuggled this group into the country now we know that malaysia which currently hosts about $100000.00 refugees does not recognize refugees so the ones who are here they don't have any legal status they're not allowed to work legally they can't send their children to school but this country this muslim majority nation is still seen as a sort of safe haven by the mainly muslim minority who are fearing who are fleeing persecution in myanmar or trying to escape poverty in refugee camps in bangladesh now but when they get here and the ones who've made it here for example the nearly 2 $170.00 rangar refugees who arrived in long last month they have been detained the government has said that it no longer is able it's no longer able to accept rangar refugees because they the economy is currently struggling there's been

a downturn because of the pen demick and there's a lot of indication that the. the country is just not going to be as hospitable to rowing or refugees as it once was and malaysia has made no secret of the fact that you know if they find boats carrying refugees it will try and turn them back out into international waters is this a lose lose situation florence for everyone involved because you touched on it there these refugees were stateless anyway so they try to get to or they successfully get to a certain country and they're stateless when they get there presumably they're not allowed to work they're not allowed to generate an income. that's right it's a very difficult situation for routing the refugees really just for any refugees in malaysia i mean they're here and they kind of in limbo they're waiting to be resettled in a 3rd country but malaysia is not the only destination for refugees we also saw last month. a group of about 100 refugees were rescued by fisherman off

indonesia's province they have also been reports that the the boats carrying refugees are sometimes turned back by thought i tire thora tease as well so ripping the refugees really they pretty much friendless they relying on goodwill of nations to accept them asylum seekers and there really aren't very many options available to them none asin the association of southeast asian nations. have said that none might has to do more myanmar has to facilitate the safe return for refugees because that's where they come from and they have to be able to return to their country but we're not seeing any movement or any improvements from myanmar in that front so there's really unfortunately there really isn't there really aren't very many options available for trying to escape from myanmar or from the camps in bangladesh thanks very much florence florence li

our correspondent there in kuala lumpur. plenty more still to come for you here on the news including a pandemic out of control latin america now leads the world in the number of cope with 19 infections plus. we'll hear from a journalist on the ground in the u.s. city of portland oregon on what's been energizing protesters there. and this team celebrates upsetting the apple cart in turkey details later in the sport. ok let's go to spain where the catalonia region is considering even tougher coronavirus restrictions if infection rates don't improve within the next 10 days the regional leaders says data from affected areas suggest the situation is

spiraling in a similar way to what happened in march when spain imposed its 1st national lockdown the u.k. has imposed a quarantine on all travelers going back to the u.k. from spain live to martyr in barcelona for us here on the news hi there welcome back catalonia as regional leader has been speaking mostly said. yes the money is the there king tore us at this morning that if the outbreak is not contained in the next 10 days tougher measures will have to be put in place catalonia has become the hot spot of the so-called 2nd wave of the corona virus outbreak we're just hearing over 1000 infections and 80 percent of all this infection sections are taking place here in barcelona what we are where we are right now so. he has very strict measures different than other regions in spain like. the use of mandatory asking people living here not to

leave their house unless it's necessary. avoiding gatherings up to people was so how these weakened bars and nightclubs were closed down and how the limitations to door 1st rooms having terraces having to close at night what we see so far is that the all the new these new infections in the 2nd wave is that the profile of all these people has changed completely from what we saw back in march all these people are junk people that we've seen that are being have been avoiding all of the social distancing measures that have been got during keep gathering together this is what the measures of closing down these these clubs on and restaurants have been taken mortar has the spanish government giving us more information more of a reaction to the ukase decision to impose this quarantine on people coming from spain because between announcement and it actually coming in i think there was just a time period of 4 hours.

yes sure also the is a moment for all the holiday makers on the news government and also for tourists as tourists visiting spain spanish government get a 1st step forward saying that they're trying to regain the confidence of the rest of of the countries that have already imposed limitations the message is quite clear spain is of safe country to travel to the court of arms over it is completely contained what they're working right now in is trying to get get out of the car into 14 days quarantined warranty. on the canary islands because us as we know that the core of our was didn't behave in the same way depending on the regions and it's true that the both islands didn't didn't register and many cases of corona virus infections so the situation right now is quite uncertain specially for the holiday makers i was saying because the spain relies a 12 percent of spanish economy relies on the tourists tourist sector is the sector

we've so how this sector will spiral arms for 4 months and that we're looking ahead for the summer holidays we already so how these in coming weeks are 20 percent of the risk of ations being canceled ok thank you very much more to her the reporting live from barcelona. from the americas to europe asia and australia most countries around the world are facing a rise in cope with 19 infections more than 16000000 people have been diagnosed since the pandemic began 4300000 are in latin america which the world health organization has designated the new epicenter most are in brazil mexico and argentina understander grumpier 2 years in colombia another latin american country with a rising number of cases is also causing concern. according to the paramedic held her again the sation there pandemic across the region is showing no signs of slowing down but experts there are particularly worried the 5 countries brazil and

mexico of course but also colombia where we are argentina piru and to a lesser extent also chile where things have eased up a bit of course brazil remains the main hot spot this week they've been reporting more than 50000 cases for 4 days in a row however the government said that this sunday's the number of confirmed cases has gone down to a little over 24000 we'll see what happens in the coming days but the worry there is that even if they brought under control their main hotspots the 1st hot spots at the beginning of the outbreak new ones have seen appeared in particular in the south and center west of the country that had feared to much better so a lot of worry there now in countries like colombia where we are in tina the reopening of the economy as a man to a big big increase in cases so we are in

a critical phase of the pandemic right now the same as happened in mexico that has seen a resurgence in hospitalizations despite the government thought they had already passed the peak of the pandemic. a new simple and reportedly 95 percent accurate method of detecting areas of qubit 19 is expected to make its debut in chile police dogs are being trained to identify people who may be infected in america. from santiago. these 4 police dogs a professional sniff until now specialists in finding missing people drugs or explosives but that was the past. today they're training to become bio detectors capable of identifying carriers of 19 even in the earliest stages of the disease. that better than an old photo of

a dog sense of smell is at least 50 times stronger than humans and investigations under way in the world indicate that they are able to identify particles of covert 19 and contribute affectively to the early detection of the virus. commander a seville says the virus has no smell but that the infection generates metabolic changes to the body that dogs can smell in human sweat these 3 golden retrievers and one labrador would chosen not just because of their noses but also their looks for your cuddly in cute rather than threatening. police say that's important to make people feel at ease when they see them walking with the dogs in train stations bus depots airports or other places with large crowds this is coffee in about 6 weeks he will be trained and able to sniff out $200.00 and an hour who could be carriers of culvert 19 and his nose is far more accurate than the normal tests that

we're using now to identify coronavirus. the police canine school is working together with specialists to chile's catholic university and the veterinary school of paris colleagues in france england and finland have been testing and training dogs to identified called 9 team for months now canines are also known to be able to detect some forms of human cancer for example the per your book is about them and this system is highly a canonical it has a high impact apart from large crowds we're thinking they can be at entrances to schools to contribute to what everyone wants to get back to class and back to normal or as close to it as soon as possible. that means these dogs may be in high demand. though there's not likely to be a shortage of 4 legged pupils these police puppies stole the show and made headlines worldwide when they made their debut at chile's annual military parade 2

years ago if the program proves successful their dogs will soon be joining their older brothers and sisters on the front line of innovative efforts to reduce the spread of this deadly virus. you see in human al-jazeera santiago. one person has been killed more than a dozen others wounded in suicide attacks in the north of syria a child died in a bombing in the rebel held area of 3 and well 3 people were wounded and 12 people were hurt in a separate suicide attack in russia and turkey back opposing sides in this conflict have been patrolling the area since the cease fire agreement in march. hundreds of demonstrators in yemen are rallying in the city of wardle to denounce the u.a.e. backed southern transitional council there is anger over the united arab emirates support for separatists in the region of. the protests was a show of support for the internationally recognized government led by president

abdurrahman so hard in the transitional council held a rally last week claiming exclusive representation of the south. protests rallied in the us city of portland oregon against racism and police brutality for yet another nights the situation does remain tense as the demonstrations enter the 9th week people are also angry of the presence of federal agents there in that city there were earlier reports of fighting on the streets both state and local officials have called for the withdrawal of federal agents. is a photojournalist covering the portland protest for the new york times she says the arrival of the agents the federal agents in the city has reenergized the protest movement. well i did not cover any of the. movements prior to the federal. occupation i know no other word to describe it in so it seemed to be that they were waning the protest was

waning that it didn't but that this sort of was there was it was on a downward trajectory in terms of. the protesters response to the killing of george floyd and and then when the federal troops arrived without warning and without invitation. it seemed to reenergize the movement and it brought in also quite a number of people that were attending the protests and as i talked to several people on the ground about this it seemed that they were saying way because you know we have this hope it crisis and and so you want to keep your risk factor down quite a bit and. but but it really energized the movement it created a sense of. in haiti thousands of evangelical christian protesters have joined

a march against a new criminal code they say is immoral many are angry that discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation has been made a criminal offense they say that goes against conservative family values and you could also legalize abortion and lose the age of consent to 15 it's due to come into force in 2 years time. west african leaders are holding a virtual summit as they try to end the deepening political crisis in mali the meeting follows thursday's talks between presidents from the regional bloc echo us and the mali and government and the opposition in bamako ok let's take a quick look now at the main reasons behind this unrest in mali tens of thousands of people have been protesting for 6 weeks now demanding that the president. steps down the protests are led by the m 5 movement of opposition activists they accuse president keiter of corruption mishandling the economy and failing to improve security the regional body echo was sent mediators in last week but m 5 has

rejected its proposals to form a unity government let's talk now to nicholas hart he joins us live from dakar in neighboring senate girl nick why have the talks failed up until now. well so for the echo us mediators are offering is very much what president. has been saying to protest years in other words they're suggesting that there should be a government of national unity. constitutional court judges reappointed and discussions held over the parliamentary election results that were contested by the opposition well for the demonstrators that's just not good enough what they want to see is president abraham who record catered to go they say that the. mediation effort has mistaken this as an electoral crisis they say it's not an electoral crisis it's a crisis of governance of trust for these leadership now today the president of nigeria who is the chair of the west african body will be talking and briefing the

other presidents on how the mediation efforts have gone on so far we know that on the table of discussions of the future of the prime minister boosie say you know while president hasn't taken the forefront since the protest movement we haven't seen him talk publicly since the 11th of july when when the commando units were deployed and fired on protesters to quell the crowd since then. the president of mali has been pretty quiet it's the prime minister that has taken center stage will be a discussion of whether he is fit to continue in his all as prime minister illegitimate to do so that's going to be on the table and there will be a communique for the press later on today. for the region i mean can they really be any sort of embryonic peace process here with the french being involved they've got several 1000 troops on the ground in mali. that's

right i mean you really nailed it here because with the french there wouldn't be any money in state they have 4000 troops on the ground the intervene in 2012 to ensure that armed groups weren't going to invade the capital bamako in the absence of the state in the north in the center of the country it is the french forces that are ensuring the peace and stability in those area the problem is the protesters say that they've been here for too long and the government hasn't been able to restore its presence in these areas without means that there's no hospitals there's no there's no schools that are open in these areas and that's what the some of these demonstrators want to see the return of the state in these areas now france has a key role to play but it doesn't want to see it doesn't want to see itself meddling in the affairs of a former colony however not only is it does it bring the guarantee of peace in the

north in the center it's also the fan financial guarantors to international donors to do so after the 2 $1012.00 invasions international donors donated over $4000000000.00 to mali to try to to reboot the government in the country now a year after that president bought $2.00 planes worth $40000000.00 much to the ire of the i.m.f. which stopped funding the state during that period 2 years later $220000000.00 was awarded to a defense contractor that appeared to be linked to the son of the president who's also an elected m.p. who is also seat is also being contested during the last parliamentary elections so it's of that corruption that has really led the protest movement in mali so it's now to the heads of states of the region. to get together to try to find

a way to break the deadlock peter ok nick many things were at nichols hark our correspondent there reporting live from senegal. tropical storm hanna is sweeping through parts of northern mexico heavy rain has caused severe flooding in the city of monterey's submerged streets and making it difficult for the emergency crews to reach some areas made landfall in the u.s. state of texas on saturday for the worse in the pacific the u.s. state of hawaii has narrowly missed a direct hit by hurricane douglas the category one storm is carrying winds of up to 140 kilometers an hour forecasters say it could still affect some of the state's small islands. let's stay with the weather theme here is everton and i think we're heading south we are heading south yes stormy weather here as well not quite as intense but psych loans hurricanes typhoons they're all areas of low pressure is that the pair of low pressure off the coast of australia so you can see this little state clutch of storms there that's been rumbling away down on the record as the winds travel in the opposite direction with areas of low pressure so here is our

a time where we've seen several states across the region and across the country with people demanding better security especially in daraa for of course the history of darfur is well known it is a conflict ridden region a conflict that's out in 2003 and that it displacement of millions hundreds of thousands who are still in camps and say they cannot access their farms they say when they do go out armed people attack them and therefore they're demanding better security but we've seen a spike in the number of incidents of violence now the security and defense committee held an emergency meeting yesterday and they've promised that they will be able to that they will send troops and that they will be ready to use force to ensure the lives of civilians especially in the western region of darfur so the government said that it will send troops it will do what it can to make sure that the lives of the civilians are protected but so far you know this is just civilians are asking who is involved they want the government to be able to identify the perpetrators of these violence and hold them to account they say that impunity is

a series of events here in south korea last month but it's the anniversary of the war's end which is up more significance in north korea which we cards it is a victory over what it claims was a foreign invasion. events have been held throughout north korea to honor its veterans it's also a timely opportunity for its leader kim jong un to reaffirm his close links with the military especially facing increased pressures from the global pandemic north korea is a state based on its own military doctrine and. so years that you. 'd don't. demonstrate ability as miracle general north korea claims it strict quarantine measures have kept the disease out but it might be facing its 1st case a north korean defectors living in the south has returned to the northern side of

the border and been detained in north korea says he might be infected triggering an emergency lockdown but also allowing the regime to defend its strict isolation measures this is a good case. by the government policy for that north korea has been totally thief from the dependent me but because of this defector from south korea and now we have to deal with the 19 outbreak if north korea is recording its 1st cases of the virus then critics say that gives it the chance to blame it on the defectors it calls human scum rob mcbride al jazeera soul the u.s. is recording up to $70000.00 new virus infections per day california has the most followed by florida overtaken new york but the state still has the highest number of deaths 32000 and australia has just seen as high as daily rise in infections

a day after reporting its worst death toll most of the 532 new cases are in the state of victoria and struggling to contain a resurgence there it's been partly blamed on people going to work despite being infected. as it stands right now we are seeing too many people for whatever reason attending work with symptoms that just cannot continue otherwise those restrictions will be in place for longer than i should be and i'm sorry sorry will say more people die particularly. there are very there the ultimate consequence if people are going to work sick is that people will become infected and therefore people will die in morocco some of the biggest cities there are being shut down and no one will be able to enter or leave casablanca 10 g.m. out of cash fares and magnus more than 630 new cases were recorded on sunday one of the biggest daily rises to date and at least well the smith is professor of

away by federico burn the day she. eventis were finally looking back to their dominant best and to make things easier they were helped by some reckless tackles the 1st saw some doria reduced to 10 men and then give away a penalty it meant were naldo had the chance to bag another goal. but he surprised everyone and maybe even himself with his fluffed effort in the end it didn't matter event to seal the 2 nil to complete a successful defense of their crown prompting celebrations that seemed unimaginable when syria was shut down in march because of the pandemic there almost are annoyed by the money. we want to dedicate this title to our fans who could not celebrate it with us in the stadium but i am sure they have done so outside we had very difficult months with the pen in macau break some of the fans have left us but i am sure they are enjoying this win from heaven the

a special moment for you very and especially for their manager merits sorry who started the season sidelined with pneumonia but ended it with his 1st top division title so while malik al-jazeera. fans are still not allowed inside the stadium but few supporters gathered in turn city center to celebrate their team's victory event this is the most successful club in italy winning the syria title for the 36th time also this latest making them the only team to ever achieve the feat in any of europe's top 5 leagues. chelsia majesty united have secured the final 2 champions league qualification spots up from the english premier league both teams won their final games of the season the clincher place in the top 4 you know to be blessed to know the result means less to finish 5th and will play in next season's you're pretty chelsea were 2 no winners against wolves and that was good enough for them to finish 4th. always always it's.

and i have decided i'm proud. rockets around that because it shows you want to be challenging to talk but we're not about this issue now i knew that going into the year. a turkish club where i have a celebrated winning their 1st the mystic league title show you know. although they sealed the championship last weekend the trophy ceremony was delayed until the final day of the season. became the only d.c. 6 club in the league's history to win the title and snap the dominance of turkey's a big 3 clubs for russia galatasaray and bishop to ash. new york city f.c. have booked a place in the quarter finals of the m.l.s. is back tournament toronto f.c. 31 on sunday to get there new york this is medina valentino and maxi

morales all got on the scoresheet the m.l.s. is a back tournaments champ is earned a spot in next year's conqueror champion. and carter has expressed interest in hosting the lim pick and paralympic games as early as 2032 he cut olympic committee announced on monday that it had formally submitted a request to join non-committal dialogue with the i.o.c. it's not the 1st time the country has been drawn to staging the multi-sport event though has failed in the past to land the games it has however stage a number of major international events including last year's a world athletics championships and it will also host the 2022 football world cup well for more on this story we're joined by simon chadwick professor of the eurasian sports industry 1st of all simon are you surprised by cutters interest in the olympics. not at all as we know for several years now qatar has been an

important event destination for sports and this is very much bound up in country strategy within cats are so having failed in 2022 to attract the. the olympics i think it was inevitable that sooner or later we get another bit coming along and of course you've got to keep in mind that cattle will have the infrastructure in place and we'll be looking for a legacy from the horse thing of the world cup in 2022 as i said earlier that they failed to they failed to land the games do you think they'll have a shot right now. what we've always got to consider is these these are going to be olympic games post cold feet and we already know where 2028 will be we don't know whether some $22032.00 games will be and given that this is paul scholes with this likely to be a big emphasis on cost efficiency so using countries using it using venue's that already exists or not to impose a cost pressure and so i think in those terms katz ari's is already ideally placed

to be able to bid for the whole sing rights simon how do you think the current situation with the blockade will impact the ises view of a potential category a bit. what would hope that by the time bids clause and the eventual decision will be will be made we will have reached some kind of solution to the blocking it's. clearly this this this has been going on for some time now and and if it was to continue longer it would be a very challenging situation and i think the i.o.c. would be uncomfortable i think being drawn into a geo political spot and so one would hope therefore that catherine saudi arabia can find a solution can find a way through this situation so what does this mean for the middle east oil for the region hosting the 1st olympic. it's very much like the world cup in many respects because obviously with the world cup was was positioned to branded as as the

regional tournament it wasn't just for the middle east it was also for north africa as well my view would be if catherine is going to bid again it would be a very shrewd and also very appropriate position to have which is this isn't just belong to the door it doesn't just belong to cats our it belongs to the gulf region to the middle east and possibly to north africa as well and again into in terms of what's gone before this would be truly a unprecedented and i think it's something it will be a decision it will be an asset that should be shared across the region simon chadwick a professor of eurasian a sports industry thank you very much for that thank you. reining tandon the toronto raptors are looking good ahead of the n.b.a. restart on thursday well the portland trail blazers 110 to 104 and their 2nd warm up game. was an impressive former with a 19 points kyle lowry it was also formed provide the
