the illustrious of roger casablanca, the funds, who make football on the are the important thing, if you were walking around in beirut, was not to be in the line of fire from the holiday fall off. we heard gunshots. i was the 1st one to flee. the whole battle lasted 3 days and 3 nights, and there were no prisoners at the end control over the in, and you control the region around. and that's why this is an icon of conflict. the heart of the lebanese civil war, bay route holiday in war hotels on al jazeera. oh the ah.

you want to remind you of our top story this. the head of the world health organization is calling for an international treaty to help well prepare for any future pandemic, federal kind of braces. he says, a global deal on virus planning is over positions just as many obstacles remain before the coalition. government can be formed. yellow p as in charles with ultra nationalist enough calling bennett to replace benjamin netanyahu is the longest serving prime minister the deadline for looking to secure appeal. his wedding start . chinese state media reporting the government's relaxing its family planning restrictions to allow 3 children for a couple. china is facing a demographic crisis with a dramatic decline in books. in recent years. it was a ride that involved hundreds of young people who set out on buses to challenge segregation in the southern united states. the freedom riders, as they were known,

were often beaten and rested upon the arrival. 60 years later, 2 of them are recounting the summit of 1961 to algebra. christian certainly has more from new york. their arrests were seen as political statements at the time. now their mug shots have become iconic. symbols of the civil rights movement of the 1900 sixty's, the freedom riders as they became known, travelled on buses throughout the summer of 961 to parts of the southern united states were segregation was still being enforced. the writers were often met with outright hostility in the form of violence. attacks by mobs in the ku klux klan, they also face to rest and many spend weeks in county jails. one of whom was 19 year old new york or louis suck men. i was shackled, taken from one from the county jail, walking along with other prisoners, and the judge who had sends me, saw me and spit on me the judge. so you began to realize how frightening it was. a

bustle proceeded by a half dozen highway patrol. watching the 1st group of freedom rides was lavonne brown from jackson, mississippi. at just 16, he was inspired to join the movement, which would later bring some frightening moments. declan came after us one night with the help of the local police. and you know, as we sort of escaped by jumping off the roof of building next to us. declare came up to stairs, the front door. well, must get killed, burned with the freedom riders. treatment by local authorities sparked a national outcry, eventually forcing the federal government to act and inspiring the wider civil rights fight for the rest of the decade of one. and i have been together what all this stuff forever. zach men and brown became friends, lou and i know each other farewell, that we could go out and tell my story. i feel as both zach men and brown regularly appear together to talk about their experiences to

a new generation. one still grappling with issues of systemic racism. everybody wants to know the big explosion, and i mean, it can be as simple as putting your arm around somebody that can be a revolutionary at depending on where you are. even at 79, zach min is still helping minorities through his organization scar harbor, which supports disadvantage children in new york. one of the special things about the freedom ride is to put together young people, white, african american, male, female throughout america. it was a unique moment where we came together as a country division and i a moment that still resonates 60 years later. christian salumi al jazeera new york kennicott had jackson's, and assistant professor of the humanities in the department of african studies at wellesley college. she's joining us from boston by skype. thank you very much indeed for being with us on all the 0 given the powerful images that we have seen

and the black lives not and protest over the last couple of years. do you think that young people in the us particularly still are receptive to the images of the freedom riders? oh yeah, i do. these are, these are powerful images, images that will be with american history forever. and i think they're invaluable lessons when we look back on the moments and the terrorism that some of the young activists went through. i think it's something that we can see as a moment of courage on their part, but also the feeling of this country, a feeling of the country to live up to its principles for all of its people. so i always think that we can turn to the past and use it as something instructive to inform our own current movements and moments. do you think that something like the freedom riders movement and those young active is getting on those buses? taking in some cases their lives in their hands, certainly being incredibly brave,

obviously, would actually work these days. doesn't require a different type of activism. activism in the 2 thousands do you think i think activists need every single tool available to them. i think, you know, the pin is mighty, just like the sword. i think your voice is i think being able to sit in and marches, protest boycott. i think anything that you can do to help draw attention to, you know, social justice and police brutality. i think all of those things are useful and should and should be employed. i hesitate to say that anything is, is not very valuable because i think the tactics been in the tactics now are still very much the same. it's all about john. the public attention in these grievances and making them pay attention and making them care. there's no question or act, hopefully, i apologize for interrupting you. but there's clearly no question that there is

still a significant issue in the united states. to what extent do you think things have been highlighted and things have to some degree, improved or changed since the freedom riders did? what they did? you know, if we think politically, i think a lot of change has been made. no one could have foreseen a black president or a black woman, vice president, or a black senator from the state of georgia. i think politically, there been a lot of changes, but also there's a lot of things that still need to change. you know, voting rights are still not protected, we still need to be advocating for those. the least of these as i would say that are most vulnerable to being disenfranchised from the vote. i think in terms of economics, there's still a huge gap between white wealth and black wealth. and when we think about mass incarceration as well, this is another huge issue that has to be addressed. so in some ways,

i think black americans have taken the board in other ways. i think we have yet to take that recover from the steps that had been lost. i should say, what you've been talking about our large scale issues and large scale changes that in some cases, as you say, still need to be addressed. what about on an individual level? talk us through what the experiences still are for those of us who are outside of the situation. yeah, i mean it's, it's still pretty tough. it depends on where you live. i know from me, you know, when i drive around certain places in america and i see, you know, particular shopping flags or fines that, you know, they ask biden as i did in new hampshire the other day. is the lar, me, it's startling and it makes you feel like the places that you live in, the places that you drive through are hostile, see, you are hostile to your identity. but i do think that when it comes to like the basic things in terms of where we sit at a lunch counter or be able to get on

a bus or border plane or chain. i do think those victories have been accomplished. but it is still incredibly difficult for black people to move in public space and not be policed or not have the police called on them. so these are things that have to be, again addressed in faith because we are still living with this tension of what it means to be black and america. and what it means to often feel like a 2nd class citizen. do you think there's a need for a modern day version of the freedom rides? you know, that's a good question. i'm not exactly sure what that would look like. because even though the segregation has ended, we still have the, the spaces, the public spaces and private spaces that have not yet been penetrated. we know that, you know, in my own profession, of, of academia. it's still very difficult to get black professors tenured in black professors in positions of higher education. so it's not just about integrating lunch counters anymore or integrating or registering people to vote as much as this

getting people and places where they can make and sustain change. kennicott, jackson, we appreciate you joining us and i'll just say, and we appreciate your thoughts. thank you very much. indeed, ma'am. thank you. or at least 60 people have been killed in democratic republic of congo 2 villages in the eastern. it's truly province, but attacked by fighters local say, they do not believe on group allied democratic forces is to blame. although the adf has conducted frequent attacks in the region. in recent years. hundreds of thousands of people displaced by a volcanic eruption in democratic republic of congo at risk of call it a doctors without borders says several cases of already been identified in soccer. mark my reports from the time for nearly 200000 people, have taken refuge, feeling a 2nd direction. this church is now home for hundreds of people

a lot new. i've been a barbara for 11 years. i stablished my own salon in this place 6 years ago and hadn't had a lot of and then it was a very important part of my life. i spent all, i owned a mis barbershop by invested everything i had to make it one of the best salons in gaza. and you can have that. ok today, displaces, become rubble, is good for nothing. it does not have any features. so i decided to do something to keep me going to be able to feed my family and to be able to pay rent after my home was destroyed in the same building. what had left in my candidate obsessive feel. feel so i returned to the same place and put a chair over the rubble to work and cut hair again. this is the only profession that i know and have been doing for 17 years now. my how do you are probably in a bad team, which lap alarm from a special block and i can lift it cost me not less than $15000.00 to establish my

news news with me ah ah ah

ah 5 of the sport his gena thank you rob we thought was in tennessee which broke just a short time ago and we've been sort number 2 and a socket has withdrawn from the french open. the japanese style was threatened with expulsion from the tournament. she continued to boycott, press conferences, which she said she was doing to protect her mental health. she won her 1st match on sunday and was fined $15000.00 for not for the media afterwards. not long ago, and now she will be putting out the event altogether, as she felt it was best for the torment, the other players and her own well being. she now intends to take some time away from the court. well, we can get some reaction to this nice from sports illustrated, tennis rice, john was, i'm who's in paris covering the french open stage on this news any break a short time ago. as i said,

you just bring us up to speed of exactly what happened. yeah you, you set it up quite well. no. me sock. i had this fairly shocking announcement last week that she wasn't doing press conferences and the situation just seemed to escalate from there. he did win her 1st match in this call. so lead seemed to be deflating. and then the 4 grand slams, the 4 major, the tenant had a very harsh statement that they released and it sort of set off a new wave of this. and today she wrote a very deeply personal, i've never seen anything like that as a very personal post, essentially saying she think could be better for the term and better for herself if she withdrew. so she is the 2nd, see she is the highest earning female athlete in the world. she's one of the last who major events she entered, she want her 1st batch and now she's not in the tournament. it is, it's probably here to my voice. it is shocking, absolutely shocking and was pulling out of the tournament reading anyway, solving the situation because she said in her statement,

mental health is clearly not in the best of states and the organizes weren't going to back down either threatening her with the sanctions. so you could, you have seen this going any other way? yeah, you would hope that the cooler heads would prevail and i don't think she did this out of any sort of defiance. i don't think she saw herself as a starting a movement or starting trouble. i think she said this was for her own mental well being. and you would like to think that when an athlete makes such an unusual request like that, it's honored or accommodated, or they can find a compromise. i mean, again, you know, barely 24 hours ago it seemed to so this happily had passed. and then you had this very harsh, intimidating, almost humiliating statement by the 4 major tournaments. the century thing keeps us up. we will not only find you, we will potentially default you what i think that sort of caused this, this spasm. it's really a pity because it should not have had to come to this. but i think part of the story here is 9 me soco. personally, i've been a little bit more ground, a little more nuanced reading the room as we say, this is not a player who is for is particularly problematic. she's,

she's not troubled to deal with. she did not do that. that. eric is clearly was someone who's a little bit broken right now and what is this could have used a little more empathy. so do you think that it mean that? yeah, i've got some could have reacted them in the last harsh way you talked about bringing out this statement which was an altogether very sympathetic. so you know, it could, could they have gone about it differently? oh, absolutely. i mean, i think something sort of like what we're in the middle of the big tournament when this thing settles, let's all get in the room and figure out how to deal with this constructively. and if you need some extra accommodations, we'll look into that understandable. you've heard of his don't want to set a precedent. they want to make sure that players add here to their obligations. i mean, it's part of the contract of getting prize money that you accommodate the media, but it does seem like there was a battery of options here and that the nuclear option unfortunately was the one that was, was played well, it's a really interesting situation we'll of course wish while she's gonna take some

time away from tennis now and to get, you know, get her mental health in a, in a better state. john enjoy the rest of it to me and i will speak to again throughout the next couple of weeks. now moving on in brazil has stepped into haste . the corporate america, after the biggest continental competition is south american football, was in doubt original haste. argentina was strict tournament by organizing carnival just 13 days before kickoff. supervising cases, the current of ours. and that was just off the columbia, it was also dropped as a co host because of ongoing a deadly anti government protest. ad of joining up with the argentine scores. sergio guerra has thoughts that way. he'll be playing his club football next season after signing for barcelona manchester cities, all time leading scorer will join boss on a 2 year deal. one is his contract with the premier league champions expires at the end of june. aguiro leaves city off the 10 years at the club, scoring 260 goals in 390 games. his last parents were coming in the champions, the final defeat the weekend. so if you know, messy decides to stay at barcelona,

right will be playing alongside his international teammates. the new camp messy has already linked up with the argentine, a squatter for the upcoming world cup. qualifies admits of preparations have been made more difficult by the pandemic. and that is what you'll support from me for now. i'll be back with more later. jenna, thanks very much. indeed. no workers around the world are increasingly finding their being replaced by artificial intelligences and automation. many companies in sweden are determined to embrace the rise of the machines and with talent technologies that breakdown barriers between humans and robots. paul reese reports from stockholm. turning this robot on is all that hung you lou needs to do before it turns its attention to him. the research at sweden's royal institute of

technology is designed to break through and how people and robots worked together. his robot can recognize and even predict his gestures, and wishes such as pass me that spanner. instead of slowing down or stopping of a human getting close. basically, i want the robot to work with me similar as a human co worker to hand me over the right to at right time at the right location, which is not happening right now in the industry. so i wanted to break the barrier between human robot. the barrier is reduced by a scanner that works out each person's body structure to prevent any collision between metal and flesh. a robot that can predict the humans actions and adapt to them can be a game changer in this field. but sweden, success, where this kind of technology is also down to how humans have adapted to robots. swedish or heavy industry already makes wide use of robotics. work is phase of being replaced on east, at least in theory, by a generous welfare state and strong trades unions that insist on retraining. when

a machine takes over. this office in mama may not look like a holiday robotic activity, but behind the scenes or rather in the cloud robot reporters. during the work of thousands of journalists, turning data on sports matches real estate, weather, and traffic accidents into written reports. it will be hard to say that we have maybe cost a couple of, of journalist jobs to, to disappear. but that is only because they were doing stuff. the machines can do better. we do the same. repetitive reporting. they can do the more qualitative and high level reporting, the reports excuse already for the morning edition of the barometer in newspaper and coma and the dozens of national and local titles across sweden. the robot is actually one of our most contributing reporters. it's all about having more content to offer to our readers. back in the lab in stock home, the goal is for robots,

human relations to be about collaboration, not competition. if we can try the robot to help a human operator together, they form a new team. they can be more productive in the industrial setting. robots may not be able to avoid harming a human body, but it might take a very hard headed employee to stop worrying about robot humming that your prospects. pull rece, i'll use their stock. now don't forget, you can get a lot more background information on those pictures on our website. so i'll just do the dot com. bob. the seller is going to be here in a couple of minutes for more stores. i'm madison ah me ah

ah, be part of the debate itself defeated and posing in the us or in the u. k. because it will just come back again when no topic is off the table. what we wanted to talk about were the command white man, touching aloud your dream, where a global audience becomes a global community. jumping to the comment section, and part of the discussion. there are like kinetic efforts to silence on the online face on al jazeera. the latest news, as it breaks over half of the coal mines by separatists is re labeled as russian cold and transported out to markets in asia and europe with detailed coverage before into withdrawal. is underway and will be completed after the may 1st the deadline from around the world. these demonstrations change your mind,

the british government, any new laws design detail, people's rights of assembly damage, the country's democracy. the morning harry with them and just they were, will help us to read the for i connie area and a few dollars meeting the people in the places and hearing the song writers and musicians who composed the songs for north africa on which is era the people have come to expect a lot from now to 0 over the years if they're reporting the commitment to under report the type of the commitment to the human story. but it's also the idea of challenging those in power. if a politician comes on this channel, they will be challenged and that's what people expect, what they want to question answered. that is what we've always done. that is what

we will continue to do. in the next episode of science in the golden age, i'll be exploring the contributions made by scholars during the medieval period in the field of astronomy. copernicus owes this day to these medieval astronomers from the golden age actually in many ways with the computers that you can use it to find the time you could navigate science in a golden age. with jim and sally on, jesse living in a war zone is a risk not worth taking for most but for a 10 year old boy, there is nowhere else to go. in the absence of his parents, his grandmother dedicates herself to his upbringing. never knowing whether the next explosion or echo one step closer to the place they call home
