share on out you see. we understand the differences in the similarities the cultures across the world so much of what we use in calendar that matter to you. hello there i missed all the attention this is the news hour live from our headquarters here and our coming up in the next 60 minutes ireland is the latest country to suspend use of the astra zeneca private 19 vaccine following concerns about blood crossing. at least 30 and he threw protesters are killed in myanmar as an opposition leader promises resistance against military rule. syria's 1st lady is

investigated and a case that could see has stripped of her british citizenship plus. finding ways to perform we look at how some musicians in new york are playing it safe during this pandemic. and in sports the boxing world has been paying tribute to one of the sport's all time greats former undisputed world heavyweight champion marvin hardly the start of the age of $66.00. when our island is the latest nation to suspend use of the astra zeneca crave in $1000.00 vaccine due to concerns about blood crossing a government advisory committee says it's just a precaution and stress that there was no conclusive link between the vaccine and blood clots and referred to reports from norway of 4 serious cases norway denmark and iceland all suspended use. of the vaccine the world health organization astra

zeneca and the use regulates that all insist that the vaccine is safe and let's get some of the details now with jonah how he's in london for us journal yet another blow faster zeneca and also for the rather sluggish vaccination program. yes and potentially more widely than that a blow for the overall trust in and therefore efficacy of the wider vaccine program island joining a list a short list but potentially a growing list of countries now signaling safety concerns and temporarily halting their use of the astra zeneca jab as you said that was announced on sunday morning the immunization or thora t. in pointing to a report by the norwegian medicines agency a couple of days ago a report into 4 cases of serious blood clotting events their words concerning health care workers for them in their thirty's and forty's and that age group for

this sort of thing to be going on they described as substantially unusual norway taking its decision to temporarily halt the use of the vaccine at the same time as denmark and iceland pointed to similar instances and events and then this of the ripple effect spreading out to the likes of bell garia most recently in the european union and even more widely than that to thailand also temporarily halting its use of the vaccine on the irish authorities very express lee pointing out that they have not detected nor their legend specifically a direct link between the vaccine and these blood clotting events they've taken this decision as they say out of an abundance of caution and as soon as it can be proven that there is nothing more than coincidence involved between the 2 they will look at this decision again astra zeneca the u.k. based manufacturer the pharmaceutical company has leapt on it of course robustly defending its vaccine saying that it is safe proven so in large scale trials

and saying that out of $17000000.00 doses so far administers they are administered they have found no evidence of any increased risk of parliamentary embolisms from most is that sort of thing beyond what would ordinarily occur in a sample population sample size of that. size in other words 70000000 people who hadn't received the vaccine would show at least this number of this sort of blood clot in the european medicines agency similarly cautious again and for sizing the safety of this vaccine saying that the benefits outweigh any potential risks at this point pending a further review they say rollout should continue and big european countries the u.k. of course not least among the but also germany france have in the last few days come out and reassured their citizens that the vaccine is safe that rollout of the vaccine should continue well speaking of are allowed and given that this is a partially persists developed vaccine and it's very heavily reliant on it for the u.k.'s program how is the u.k.

handling orifice. at the other sort of government level the foreign minister was in norway during the last couple days when this news broke he dominic rob was keen to defend the vaccine again to defend its safety record the medicine regulator here has pushed the safety proven on look a lot of scale basis and pointed out that out of 11000000 doses administered in this country they have been no obvious adverse effects of this type it is a big deal of course in the u.k. as you say this is a u.k. made vaccine manufactured by u.k. based pharmaceuticals company put together and designed by british scientists and it is the cornerstone of britain's so far very successful vaccine roller but it is a vaccine the astra zeneca job that has had its share of controversy in the last couple of months political disputes delivery delays and now safety concerns everybody very key thing to try and tamp down the potential for widespread panic

here jane have there with all the latest for us from london thank you very much jonah well let's dig into this now with simon clark he's an associate professor in cellular microbiology at the university of reading and he joins us now from there simon i want to start with a question that i'm sure everyone who is watching is wondering does this potentially mean that the vaccine is unsafe. good afternoon no it really doesn't mean that it is potentially unsafe it has been tested widely and there have been no reported problems beyond what you would normally expect with a vaccine. with any that say really the occurrence of these thrombotic events these blood clots is no greater in the vaccinated population than it is in the home vaccinated population so quite why regulators in these countries have taken the decision beyond big screen be cautious is not really clear so let me ask you then

if the w.h.o. is insisting it's safe to use but some countries have decided to hold their all out there's a going ahead how should people be reading that are some countries then potentially taking bigger risks than others here well i think you can turn that around and say some countries are big overly cautious and that of course exposes their population to increased risk of infection. and that's potentially bigger toll on suman health or health in those countries so i don't think this is unsafe and to be perfectly honest if somebody would come in here now with a syringe full laxey i would happily take it well in most countries you honestly don't get to choose the vaccine that you get so i'd like to ask you to address the people out there who are scared to take the vaccine if they're being offered the astra zeneca vaccine what should they be doing. my advice to them is take it if i were offered it i would take it i know friends of mine. received it my own fathers

would see that. while there may be some slight side effects there are often now with vaccines that they are. much less much less of a problem than the facts of getting to over 90 even the minor and milder and that means it's so beyond the astra zeneca vaccine specifically there is already this huge amount of vaccine skepticism particularly in certain communities and this obviously won't be helping that could something like this put a broader vaccine rollout in jeopardy. inevitably and unfortunately it will make some people double down when they're questioning or people who are pretty good about the vaccines are risky they will point to this it's incumbent therefore people like me to push back on that. i think it's also incumbent on regulators in countries like ireland to explain exactly why they feel they need to suspend the

use of the vaccine when really the currents of these robotic events these blood clots is no higher in the back snaking population and it will be in the unvaccinated population they really need to be very clear simon this is also one of the cheaper vaccines that's been a prayer for why do you think it's really being rolled out at scale especially in the developing world how far does this set back those efforts of some countries are hesitant about rolling it out. well potentially inevitably makes people ask questions and doubts things and that's why it's unwise to do these things unnecessarily you know that this vaccine you quite rightly point out is relatively cheap that's because astra zeneca are not making a profit on it unlike companies that are producing other vaccines it also doesn't require really strict stringent freezing which frankly in some parts of the world just isn't possible and therefore if you don't have vaccines like this but

which do work and are safe then you're exposing millions who tensely billions of people to cope with 97 clark from the university of reading an associate professor in cellular microbiology always great to get your thoughts here on out of there thanks for being with us again. now moving on and man law security forces have killed at least 38 protesters on sunday state television says one police officer has also died from injuries sustained at a protest now earlier the acting leader of myanmar ousted civilian government urged supporters to stay on the streets he also calls on ethnic armed groups to unite against the military john to reports. defiant protesters again marched through the streets of mandalay on sunday in strong voice and in large numbers they were clearly on by the violence of the day before that's when the security services shot dead at least 6 people in

a crackdown in the 2nd city and injured many more but with the death toll rising a call for revolution from the former vice president now leading a civilian administration in hiding. this is the darkest moment of the nation and the moment when the dawn is close this is the time for us citizens to test their resistance against the dark moments speaking of a new federal democracy the message was clearly aimed at bringing diverse ethnic groups together to overcome the army and their coup in order to win forming a resistance unity plays a vital role despite our differences in the past this is the time we must grip our hands together to end the dictatorship for good. these diverse ethnic groups are scattered across myanmar's borderlands divided they don't represent a significant threat to the military who've been fighting them for decades united

they could be a considerable obstacle but there's long been distrust between these groups and the n l d the national league for democracy bringing them together would be no small task. in peaceful defiance protesters break the curfew to honor the dead in candlelight vigils across the country you know that. we can go on the street to show that we are against military dictatorship by breaking the kofi order imposed by duhoux review continue fighting it is the military continues with its brutal tactics on the streets calls for a revolution it's not so peaceful meek gain increasing support tony ching al-jazeera on our ethnic armed groups have thrown their weight behind the civil disobedience movement against the military coup but just how unified are they while there are dozens of armed ethnic groups in myanmar mostly along the border regions

among the largest the arik an army the caption independence army and the myanmar national democratic alliance army in all their estimated to control a 3rd of the country's territory now 2050 in the government was able to strike a nationwide ceasefire agreement with most of the largest groups after decades of fighting with the recent government takeover by the military genter could reignite conflict. groups are also well resourced the u.n. estimates there and up to $1500000000.00 from the illegal opium trade in 2020 alone allows them a steady flow of money and weapons we can all speak to ryan and lee he is a visiting scholar at the international state crime initiative at queen mary university of london he joins us now from there these obviously aren't new conflicts or armed groups can you talk us through the landscape here just how active are these groups and the conflicts that they're actually fighting in. well very mean for a large number of people in myanmar they've lived in

a state of civil war for up upwards of 5 decades but these are people who live mostly in the borderlands of the country their ethnic and religious minorities and they've experienced extreme brutality from me and mullahs military quite quite frankly for generations what we've seen though in recent weeks is that many militaries brought the sorts of tactics that it's routinely used against ethnic minorities in in can chain state and shan state and against groups like the ricky gets brought those tactics war crimes crimes against humanity genocide or violence and it's brought them onto the streets of cities like yang gone and mandalay so what what's occurring now is that me and muslim majority is really experiencing the same brutality that the ethnic minority and religious minority groups have experienced for decades and they're incredibly unhappy about that as you can imagine they're also prepared to make some common cause with ethnic and religious

minorities that wasn't politically feasible before that's been there's been a real concern from from ethnic and religious minorities that that the majority civilian administration of on since the national league for democracy really didn't take seriously ethnic and religious minority claims around their rights and particularly their claim to federalism that's changing now what we've seen in the last 24 hours and it's a really important reaching out by the leadership of the deposed civilian administration talking directly to the can religious minority groups and using the sorts of language that they've been desperate to hear from from that administration for many years it's around unity and it's talking about federalism well right and given the level of mistrust of all those years and the fact that each of these groups really has their own agenda how realistic is the idea of some kind of unified front for them especially given that they haven't managed to actually do it

over all of these he has a fighting the same military essentially. the military's often used divide and rule tactics that's that's been one of the one of the shrewder moves they they elevate one group at the same time as they're taking on another and we we've seen that in fact this week the military which had previously declared an armed group in rakhine state the ira konami as a terror group it's taken them off that list it's an attempt by the military to reach out but i think i think they have left it too late think from a military point of view they they have managed to unify virtually every group within the country against them from young people and we're seeing them in the street protests street protests in the urban centers the union movements united against the military obviously the established politicians in the national league for democracy but but now we're seeing ethnic and religious minorities realizing that this is their chance they've achieved federalism on the political agenda in

a way that they haven't been able to achieve for many many years and i don't think that they'll be minded to now jump back in bed you need any way with me and most military i mean the military just has nothing to offer them they see this is their opportunity to remove the military from politics permanently and to achieve the political demands that legitimate political demands around federalism that they've been making for many years so i think i think. the protest movement and the civil disobedience movement in myanmar really has everything to play for here the military certainly on the run their finances have been squeezed the banks are closed they can't pay their people i mean members militaries that the sort of organization is better understood as a as an organized crime gang and if they can't if they can't pay their people and their cronies and it's been shown that they're not able to do that with the banks closed they'll become increasingly desperate but increasingly weak on

a sounds like a tipping point may then be approaching when and live there and visiting scholar at queen mary university of london great take your thoughts out there thanks for being with us. well there is plenty more ahead few this news hour including dutch police move against and he locked down protesters we'll have all the latest live from. generation exile syrian refugees describe their reply almost 10 years since peaceful protests turned into a war. and in support well champions by and united have stayed in control of the german title race all the details coming up shortly with andy. and the police in the netherlands have used water cannon to dispense people protesting against coronavirus restrictions thousands gathered for that rally in the hague now the approved capacity for that protest was just 200 and all comes

ahead of parliamentary elections on wednesday vasant is in the hague watching those protests for us step we've obviously seen this anger really build there over weeks and months and now these protesters are hoping they will potentially be political consequences. absolutely we've just seen some clashes here between police and the hundreds of protesters against the lock down when he's actually used the water cannons but also firecrackers fireworks were thrown at police and bottles several people have been arrested so quite a bit tense situation here in the hague there was a demonstration in the amount of $200.00 people but many more showed up showing the frustration the increasing frustration about the lockdown here in the special and especially this nighttime curfew that part's been going on since january and what you've seen here is not only concerned citizens who are praying that they're going to do their business but also. but also people from the far right and the right

parties have actually been tapping into these increased gratian and anger towards the locker. you can see things basically for the parliament. but also the right. thing. to get away we went to one of. the country. friends who remarked his style has been compared with former us president donald trump ignoring covert restrictions the leader of the anti immigration populist party. is trying to attract voters by calling covert 19 a common flu and blaming international conspiracies for being behind the pandemic. hundreds of people at the moment are in the hospital right suffering from corona many people in an island have died more than 15000 so it's a serious issue that's

a normal number for a serious flu we've had for thousands of years everyone does have complained to hospitals are full they can't cope with the workflow. well those stories are highly disputed just party became the largest just 2 years ago but fell apart after racist anti-semitic messages to make it public are now a stepping in to a growing sentiment against a lockdown with an american style campaign based on conspiracy theories and the tax on the media. sentiment in the netherlands against lockdowns has grown especially after a nighttime curfew was introduced in january riots broke out in several cities and covert testing facilities were attacked far right parties might form for democracy appeared to be benefiting from this anger economy and the stuff i can't go anywhere i want to and even if i didn't go out i should have freedom that has been taken away from us and that is horrible. i like what he says about freedom i want schools

to reopen i'm a 1st year student and i can barely follow my studies because it's all online i was in line. well good as party is polling around 3 percent of the vote another anti immigration party the freedom party of this is predicted to win around 20 percent come the 2nd largest like it did 4 years ago the 1st time it's not about immigration or islam it's about corona yeah it is and we take a responsible view it as well as a people because we're really in for. public health as well and making that a big issue not a problem for you that's not about immigration well if you look at the polls it's not i think a responsible few that we will benefit from it but it's not it's not like you want to benefit from a pandemic i'm just doing my job his chances to become part of the government are slim since nobody wants to govern with him because of his views on immigration an islam conversant writer of

a book about willis says that even though around one 5th of the dutch electorate voted for far right parties their influence remains limited in the netherlands i sometimes call this the middle finger vote people who are middle finger to the political establishment and want to shock the establishment and how can you shocked us by choosing somebody who is always shocking. their politicians in the debates and that is what will this does the main question is how successful a complaint soley based on covert restrictions will be and many in the netherlands are fed up there's also a large group to take the fight against a virus seriously. well some proud protesters here in the hague are still yelling at. they say their freedom has been taken away to the netherlands. so we all will see how this sentiment play out in 3 days from now in the reality

actually the figures the infractions are growing up the worst. number of infections in january sort of also quite concerned about the elections on the ones they are everything is being taken care of to make sure that these elections are a safe. step and that with all the nations force on the ground in the hague thank you so much that. now a british iranian woman detained in iran since 2016 has appeared in court as a means of garri radcliffe is facing a new charge of propaganda against the system she was released from detention just a week ago after serving 5 years for a separate conviction a human rights charity has written to the british government saying that cigar eruptive he needs treatment for her mental health well in a very blunt statement british foreign minister said it is unacceptable and unjustifiable that iran has chosen to continue with the 2nd holy arbitrary case against. her if the iranian government has deliberately put her through

a cool and inhumane ordeal wasn't must be allowed to return to family in the u.k. without further delay now a police investigation into the wife of syria's president is underway in britain. is accused of inciting and encouraging terrorist acts during the war in syria the case was opened in response to a dossier filed by an international law firm it could lead to her facing prosecution as well as the loss of her british citizenship well tony cadman is a human rights now and also the founder of that international fund that submitted the evidence against. he says that she has participated in crimes. our group has been working on this all for the last 67 months and so we submitted evidence that sharon's involvement and incitement i mean current commit. terrorism in syria and some of which is what we would call convention offenses them

so these are offensive that involve the use of chemical weapons so what she is effectively incites in italy especially they're doing is having and sciences. have resulted in death in syria meeting with troops making public statements glorifying the conduct of the army that has resulted in us and her heart a 1000000 deaths and use of chemical or no forms of weapons i'm sorry you know it's not just that she is the life of the. president she has actively our allegations are she has actively campaigned and actively participated in those crimes and so she must face justice for that it's once the investigation reach rhesus status it is she is something fresh recruits obviously expects that great cooperation from the syrian regime of course requests can be made for exhibition

request can be made through through the can next system well that's a that remains is that she will be unable to in syria and she will effectively determine broadcasts. we know that she is campaigning to assume this what leadership she sees a future i suppose it will be so it is not insignificant miracles what will could result is stirring of us isn't sure even though we are close we don't want that to happen we want to face trial. well still ahead here on al-jazeera. the questions over the conduct of the police in the u.k. after they break up a vigil for a woman who's mad at spot a national outcry. demands for justice a year after the death of a black woman at the hands of u.s. products. and in sport this special as closing in on his plans to win in north

hello again i'm starting a tender remind you of our top stories here this hour ireland has become the latest country to suspend use of the astra zeneca coated 19 vaccine officials made that call after norway's health authority raised questions about blood products. at least 30 protesters have been killed and myanmar state t.v. is reporting that a police officer has also diet the acting leader of myanmar's ousted civilian government armed groups to unite against the toronto. police investigation is underway in britain and to the wife of syria's president assad is accused of inciting and encouraging terrorist acts during the conflict the case was opened in response to a dossier filed by an international law firm if that investigation goes further she could face prosecution and the loss of her british citizenship. well it was 10

years ago on monday when protests began in syria that would then descend into a civil war more than 13000000 people are either displaced within the country or a sheltering abroad many of them are in camps in lebanon is because from where is the anahata since this report. in the midst of war a generation grew up in exile at least 1000000 children have been born since 2011 when syria's peaceful uprising began before it turned into a war home for many has been informal counts like this in neighboring countries in lebanon's bekaa valley life has been one of poverty and uncertainty that as of now there are around 200 children under the age of 10 in this camp where boys and girls whose lives have been destroyed their future is nothing more than 13000000 syrians that's half the pre-war population remain displaced inside and outside the country nearly 900000 are registered in lebanon the highest number in the world relative to

its population and as the conflict enters its 2nd decade with no political settlement in sight there could be further displacement. which is actually. syria's economy is collapsing and international aid organizations are warning it is pushing millions deeper into poverty many are jobless and hungry the united nations says 60 percent or $12400000.00 syrians don't have regular access to enough food. but economic uncertainty is not the only challenge there are those who fear for their safety in the absence of a political settlement some are vulnerable where they are and need protection like

resettling them in a safe country. about 570000. however the only $9300.00 refugees or. not the country that this is a very lot of them considering that. despite the battlefield being largely quiet for a year aid agencies say the daily suffering of syrians is worse than it has been a nearly any point throughout the conflict and the hardship has not stopped at syria's borders very high up of. our life has been reduced to this in syria they waiting for a box of aid and here we are waiting for our box of aid we lost hope of going back . for those who have already lost so much it may be a long wait for political change in damascus or for humanitarian conditions to

improve to allow them to return home. because of early easter in lebanon when i went to his rights activists have called for a protest at the headquarters of london's metropolitan police. they're angry over the handling of a vigil for sarah ever out who was abducted and murdered a serving police officer has been arrested and charged for her killing on saturday hundreds of people attended a vigil to demand action on violence against women it was a heavy police presence and officers handcuffed several women and dragged them away let's speak to nadine barber who joins me now from london now deemed broad criticism here from really across the political spectrum of just how the measures handle all of this. absolutely and that's why in about half an hour we're expecting to see another crowd gathering off to basically discuss stage many people have sent outraged

some people are saying by those pictures that came out of the vigil a cough uncommon in south london on saturday night which was a peaceful vigil most people originally anyway were distance and wearing mosques and the police keeping a distance just observing but then they did move in and they made several arrests one woman who was arrested was photographed she's in many of the newspapers being pinned to the ground by mail offices and it's those kind of pictures that people say are so triggering the fight that the police moved in to to arrest forcefully people who were there to pay their respects to sarah ever odds killed allegedly by a member serving member of the police force the police officer appearing in court on such a day at the bottom of the outrage that was very evident late on saturday and going through today people haven't arrived here yet mainly members of the press and

police offices around me here at the police headquarters but the police came out with a statement saying that they didn't want to be in a position where they had to enforce regulations but in their words we will place in this position because of the overriding need to protect people's safety that's a long that's being widely questioned by people who are down that cup and comment on saturday of course that the police had said that the gathering wasn't the organizers reclaim the streets had asked the courts to rule that in the interim a by an undercover $1000.00 restrictions on gatherings should exempt protests that didn't happen but the judge did say the police and the organizers should work out a compromise say well we never really got anywhere with them they tried their best and so they called it off it was not an official. reclaim the streets vigil but it was attended by hundreds of people as i said men and women peacefully observing

a vigil and those images have actually created a lot of shock here in the u.k. . is really not a new problem or the country really. put it back in the spotlight is the government taking steps to address it well they will say that they are listening in fact in the last 48 hours the government in the form of home secretary pretty patel has said that it is going to start. seeing the opinion of women around the country and what can be done to improve areas like reporting sexual harassment and assault and so on bought on the media of the violence on such a day night there have been coals by the likes of the leader of the liberal democrats for the metropolitan police chief crusted adik to resign she is submitting it she's preparing a report on what happens to go to party for tell him secretary of the opposition

labor party have not joined in the coals for a cressida dick to resign but they have now said that they will be voting against a new policing bill that's coming up in parliament to be voted on in the next few days saying it faces unacceptable restrictions on people's free speech and the right to protest it could allow the home secretary to define serious disruption which could mean protests that can happen now won't be able to happen in the future so this is all tied to what people saw on saturday night and this discussion about police powers of course we're on the pun demick restrictions but into the future civil rights groups here in the u.k. have major worries about this new policing bill and what it will do to people's right to voice dissent. keeping an eye on that protest for us thank you so much. well to germany now and a crucial test of public opinion ahead of a national election in september voters are choosing legislators in beijing washing

bugg an economic powerhouse in southwestern germany and neighboring rhineland palatinate while dominant cain joins us now with the latest from berlin dominic this all kick starts a really big election year in germany and these states could potentially be a bellwether for what's to come. this is pretty much an important electorally for germany because you have the populations of 2 largish states in southwestern germany going to the polls electing state parliaments now the important thing is we're talking about 10000000 people or so that is a sizable chunk of the german electorate having the chance to express their point of view about the way that their states of being governed and many analysts looking at it and saying ok well we can start to get an idea of what people might be thinking right now and what that might mean for all of parties going forward remember there's a general election in this country on the 26th of september remember also that

angle of merkel will not be seeking reelection she's no longer leader of a party and that after that election should no longer be leading the country for for very long so this is very important how will the parties perform in these 2 states there the 1st stage the right height not facts the riaa rhineland to pull out in a tool that's governed by what's called a traffic light coalition of the red of the social democrats yellow for the liberals the free democrats and the greens well for the green party the person in charge there is a prominent social democrat politician who has been talking in her guises prime minister very often over the course of this pandemic every month or so prime ministers such as she gets to meet in a format with angle americal in the federal cabinet to work out what the next step is whether to lock down further or to ease lockdowns she's a prominent social democrat prime minister in the neighboring state barden dirksen bear which has which is more populous than refine and fats they're the only green

prime minister of in this country for that particular state he also a very prominent so we need to look out to see how these 2 states will perform in the final factor here is that angle america's party the christian democrats who aren't in a majority government in either of those 2 states where they're currently several members in the federal parliament in berlin. are engulfed in a scandal involving covert masks and how they were procured how will that sway the opinion of the electorate in these 2 states we should find out in the course of the next 3 or 4 hours very interesting day for germany indeed dominic cain there with all the latest from bell and thank you so much tommy now the future of the falkland islands is being discussed again after they were excluded from trade deals between the u.k. and the e.u. that british overseas territory won't be a part of any commercial tax or customs agreements and as terry is a by reports argentina's government sees an opportunity for. the falklands

islands in the southern atlantic also known as melvina for people in latin america are considered part of the overseas territories of the united kingdom but 2 days after finalizing the brics it agreement the european union an ounce to that it would stop recognizing overseas territories under british rule and the benefits that came along the decision came as a surprise for residents of the islands of the other surgeries were allowed to vote in the referendum even though. we respect that decision after it was kind of a bit of a shock i think when the when the result came through we hadn't really expected that relationship changed that next piece of the puzzle does need to be addressed. need a relationship with the cape. as well for years industries here have benefited from being a member state until now jane wallace is concerned about what's coming next. i found

of legendary commentator mario and he will be here at story. banks love to make loans to sufferance because behind the suffering a millions of taxpayers because those taxpayers never go away there's a new one born every single day and it is an urgent national to put it we officially requested the education of the support mechanism we created together because i happen to live in creeks somehow i'm a sinner i'm a bad person. that's machine on al-jazeera. there's a wave of sentiment around the world people actually want accountability from the people who are running their countries and i think often people's voices are not heard because they're just not part of the mainstream news narrative. obviously we cover big stories and report on the big events going on but we also tell the

stories of people who generally don't have a voice and then when i was a child my that's you never be afraid to put your hand up not a question and i think that's what our syria really does we ask the question to people you should be accountable and also we get people to give their view of what's going on. who's. i've. won the match it's now time for sport here thank you so much no stars your former undisputed middleweight boxing champion marvelous marvin hagler has died at the age of 66 the american was one of the sport's dominant figures throughout the 1980 s. after 12 successful title defenses his run as champion ended in 1970 out after a controversial loss to sugar i learned that he retired from boxing shortly

afterwards of former world heavyweight champion lennox lewis is paid this tributes i'm simply stunned to hear the news of marvelous marvin hagler not only was he a living legend but i was proud to call him my friend he was so full of life energy and positivity you would never guess what a wrecking machine he was in the ring or been talking to the editor of boxing newsman christie he says how close fight with thomas the hitman hearns in 1905 was arguably the defining moments of his career. i mean that fight even now will give you goose bumps if you're that way clyde if you want to see a ferocious it's insane i mean the way very often boxing on a level where you put the best against the best there will be a feeling out period where they kind of take some time to work out what your fights might do with this one they just go at it gets hurt early on and then it all bets are off arteries and just trying to destroy and that was he's he's motto was war you were in there for war at the same time the hearns fight would stand him he was

a very controlled very disciplined boxer i think he had a difficult beginning to this career and one could argue that by the time he got his world title shot in the 1980 it was too late but once he was at the top 21 in the world world middleweight title he was he was he was applauded he was well regarded but in some kind of context really when mike tyson came along and took the boxing world by storm the best fighter in the sport regarded throughout the school he's the one and only modern is more of an actor he lived and breathed boxing everything about him inside the ring and out during his career was your class and i think if you want to you want to put a liberal is in the top 10 boxes of all time football now in manchester city beat fallen 3 nil to go 15 points clear the top the premier league city had to wait until the 2nd half of this match to take the lead 3 johnstone's that never has
