informed opinions that issue on national resource by is not large enough to get to how to put me to our people in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm barbara sarah. this is the al jazeera news, our live from london. thank you for joining us. coming up in the next 60 minutes. vote counting is underway in portugal snap election as the country pushes for a clear winner to break up political stalemate. diplomatic efforts continue to avert a crisis with russia as canada, as defense, minister flies in to kia and ukraine's ambassador to the us says her country is not

down playing the risks and we see there build up. and we also know what russia is capable of 50 years on northern ireland, the marks the anniversary of the bloody sunday massacre with british soldiers opened fire on civilians. killing 14 people and the patagonia peoples it was thought had died out when explores reached the tip of latin america. but now their descendants want recognition ins for rafael medallist pulled off an epic title when the austrian open, after more than 5 hours of play, he be dental medford, have to secure a reco 21st grand slams. ah . early exit polls in portugal suggests the ruling socialist party has won the larger share of votes in a snap election,

but it may not be enough to deliver a stable government. the prime minister antonio costa center, left part he looked, said to take around 37 percent of the vote. the main opposition social democrats are predicted to come in 2nd, with around 26 percent. that the vote was called after a budget to dispute last month, which saw the minority socialist government lose allies in parliament. well, adam rainy is in the lisbon, so i am talk this through with us. it does look like i'm tonic also sent to left. a party is set to take the, i guess, the biggest that a number of votes. why does that not necessarily mean that you'll be able to form a stable government? well because barbara, the magic number here would be a 116 seats and parliament. so $230.00 seat parliament. right now the socialists have a $108.00 seats. so if he doesn't get to a 116, he's gonna have to horse trade a bit. find partners,

but it looks like it might be easier than it was last time because it does look if these exit polls hold up, that the socialists might have more seats than they did right than they do right now. and that will give cost a little bit of momentum going, going into this the next few days, if he can get close to that 116 votes seats in parliament, forgive me that will show people that this snap election has got a message that the socialists are little more powerful than they were going into the election. then people in the left block, a hard life group or the communist under left wing group might be more disposed to cooperate with them. and now the exit polls are also point to the fact that there is a slight chance that the socialists could even get 116 seats apartment, even if they don't get 50 percent of the popular vote. that's because of a quirk of the election system here. and if they get that well, that will be a clear mandate that they can do

a lot of things that the portuguese voters have called on to do to get the economy going to enact all these programs. that will be funded by you recovering resilience funds. so the socialists right now have to be sitting a bit happier than they thought they were just a few hours ago. because some of the polls leading in to the election showed the social democrats that center right party catching up, some polls even surpassing them. so we're going to see some results that are going to surprise some people. but right now and tony, of course, so it's probably feeling a little more little more secure and his position is prime minister than he was before the pulse closed just a little over an hour ago. and i don't all of this was sparked by a budget disputes last month, which then brought about these elections and you hinted at some of the problems that portugal is facing portugal of course, black countries, all of the world trying to recover from the coven pandemic, just focus through that a little bit more and basically whoever the new government is, what their priorities will be. well, the main problem is that portugal keeps falling behind other

e u countries about the 7th port out of the whole 27 member block. and people here are pretty upset about that. there's been a lot of growth in decades before. and portugal was getting used to growing and they see that there's kind of missing this window to keep building and making an economy strong over. that's been very difficult during cove it, it has a lot of tours and based industry here. and people here just aren't satisfied with where the economy is going right now. that's despite the fact that ports was one of the big winners. and if you recovering resilience fund some $50000000000.00 of funds that the government can put into use to get the economy going. so we're going to be seeing in the coming days the, the parties tried to show that there's some momentum that they're answering this call by the voters to show they have some answers to get this country up and running. this is a country 10000000 people, not one of the largest countries, of course, and the european union. but those 10000000 people here in portugal. once some went,

some sign that the country is on the up and not excuse me, more that this pandemic thing going on because the pen demik been impacting the whole european union and the whole world for that matter. so they want some answers and they want them pretty interesting to see what the final makeup of the government is, what all the results come in. i know you'll be monitoring development for us for the moment. adam, reining in lisbon. thank you. peruse government says an oil spill all fits coast is twice as big as the fear. it's estimated. nearly 12000 barrels have know, leaked into the pacific ocean mariana sanchez report from lima. ah, oil continues to slowly move north with precedent. they look at the, you're flying over the area on saturday. the scope of that disaster is much worse. official say, with the italian flagged oil tanker matter. dodie co loosing nearly 12000 barrels of crude oil twice as much as initially thought government ministers have been

reptile controls peruse most important refinery. it's now facing the possibility of losing its operating license and define of nearly $5000000.00 in total bombing door with allow the public prosecutor to enter the refinery, explained what happened and we are ready to fully collaborate with public prosecutor's office. we got a judge has ordered 4 top executives from traveling abroad for 18 months while been investigated, which could eventually mean at least 4 years in prison. the environment minister says raffle is not complying with basic measures to clean up the oil. spill protesters here outside the refinery, say they're angry because they say that the company is dragging its feet. oh. 2 don't some of you have no thought about a little rural affected isn't it's not bad at such a large company has not taken the necessary measures yet. so many families have been hom and the company said, i'm not responsible. oh,

rattle says it's hired more than 2000 people to try to clean up the mess. and the 35 percent of it has been removed. regardless as the oil slick advances with the current, the damage from the largest ecological disaster in decades continues to grow. mariana sanchez. i'll just see that the map a do. a sudanese activist has died during confrontations between security forces and thousands of anti government. protests, medics and cartoon reported that this, but there's been no official confirmation from the military. right? police fire tear gas and rubber bullets and thousands of people calling for an end to military rule. the march was heading to the presidential palace when police intervened. eva morgan has more now, from cartoon. it's been done as a protest in honor of those who have been arrested in similar protests and outside protest by security forces since the dad's military took over power in late october

last year. now once again, so the needs are taken to the street to voice their opposition to that military takeover, which happened on october 25th dissolving a 2 year transitional government arrest them senior political figures and many activists. the police. wow. those who organized the key no matter what they call themselves, should go so the country can move forward. we're tired of them and they should be able to see that if they have any sense. but the most important thing is accountability for those killed the little go get the hello. they beat us and arrest us and torture us. and they use terrible methods. they electrocute, they want to burn. they shouldn't, the rest of the freedom of expression is the most important thing. but the, me ask you to come in, we want the military council gone, the military organized a coo and they are the reason the country is in a political deadlock. the 1st solution to all the problem is the removal of the military is auto security forces use your gas to disperse processes from the

facility of the presidential palace, at least 70 protested, have been killed since the start of the protest. more than 2500 have been injured and the union has said that the floor is being used by security is excessive and brutal and has called security forces to restrain themselves against the anom protesters. still to come on the news i were within striking distance. north korea tests what spoke to be it's the longest range missile in 5 years. it's already the world's worst humanitarian catastrophe. and 8 years into the war, the situation situation for yemenis is set to get worse. i'm in support, find out what the best female tennis player in the all the has to say about her historic title when in australia. ah,

canada, as the fence minister is in here for talks as tensions grow over a possible russian invasion of ukraine, canada is just one nation providing military aid recently announcing a training mission in the country. russia is about a 100000 troops near the border along with tanks, artillery and miss isles. it says it wants ukraine band from joining nato, fearing military expansion towards its frontier from the west. you curse the roswell nato, shouldn't you boucher store? it turns out that the nato defense line continues to move eastwards, rose. now it has come close to ukraine, which is they also want to drag this country in tomato. although it is clear to everyone that ukraine is not ready and will not make any contribution to strength, maybe later. security or ukraine's ambassador to the us says her country is preparing to defend itself. or not, don't plan the risk. we actually see the situation the same way and we see the

build up. and we also know what russia is capable off because they have attacked us already since 2014 for 8 years. we are at war and were defending our country at the same time in order to defend our country. we can not afford to panic. we have to get ready. all of us, not only our military, our very capable military and veterans, but also all civilians. well, veterans of the conflict in eastern ukraine or training key of residence and basic techniques for the battle field. members of the as of mccully and are showing hundreds of volunteers how to handle a rifle and move in combat. the as of a battalion of volunteers gained a reputation as a fierce fighting force, but with far right, nationalistic views. it's now overseen by the ukrainian interior ministry for alex t. 12 is a lecture in modern european history, a queen's university, belfast, and a political analyst specializing in russia. he joins us now via skype from belfast

. sir, thank you so much for joining us here in al jazeera. we've seeing this, we've seen the story developed over the past phase and, and weeks, and sort of tensions seem to be ratcheting up. how do you see the reaction from russia and what do you perceive or the feeling to be there? well, i was just in st. petersburg, um, earlier this month in jane, early january, i spoke to quite a few people of different levels, different backgrounds. and nobody seemed to be particularly concerned, eat or even aware or fort when i mention it to them that are a full on invasion of ukraine by russia was ever possible. i mean, that was just something completely out of the realm of possibility for them. so, so far as russians concern are there is all this talk about a minute invasion, or is come strong or comes from our, the western powers,

particularly of washington and, and britain and ross and citizens. and also people, you know, closer to a policy circles and the think tanks and so forth, are quite skeptical that drastic actually would be able or even willing to do it because they don't see any, any reason for us or to do it or any gains from formulation, i mean, presumably it would be relatively easy for russia even behind the scenes to diffuse the tensions and make this point clear to the west the it is. so what do you think that flooding and pushing and the game might be in all of this? if, as you say, an invasion is unlikely, well, i mean are evasion. it might be unlikely above the fear of invasion. he's actually costuming useful for, for us because it suddenly they are able to talk to the americans directly about topics which previously were dismissed as,

as irrelevant such as the issues of us. you repeat security issues of nate, the enlargement issues off. busy for me, so defense is europe and so forth. so for russia, so far as you know, the most was concerned, things are going in the right way because suddenly the things which are important to them came back on to on the agenda for discussion with western powers. so why would they want to dial up the tensions if it's working them for them so well, so, so that's kind of the big, the big question. the big question of course all say is, ah, whether they're willing to push even further and at some point, miscalculate and actually invade ending up with a, with a, with a more fighting than the way a bucket info. but that's another question i guess. yeah, i mean, it was, are you saying is that, you know, something unplanned could always happen, especially in a situation like this, this, it just gets out of hand. yes, exactly, and i think there's a vague, similar volatile situation, particularly around the separatist regions in dung. boards where the risk of almost

daily accusations of impeding provocation, either from ukraine cycle from russian side. americans are saying that russians are preparing something dangerous there and so forth. and you know, you have to remember that there is a cease fire, but c spy, which is completely broken by both sides. so this shelling there is kind of a small skirmishes and so forth. going on almost a daily basis and don't boss. and it's very easy for it to escalate into something much bigger. at which point, given all the forces position across the board and so forth, it might become a real war which actually hops. nobody actually wants, but it's still possible at it. so what actions or statements would you be looking for from russia over the nanc next few days to understand which way it plans to go? well, i mean that they are engaged in several negotiations with both americans and with a normal form of which is between germany, france and ukraine,

and russia on the east and dumb boss. so russia is preparing its own response to the natives response and americans response to the demands. plus, those are going to be another meeting in 1000000000 between of france, germany, russia, and ukraine, or the future hong bus. my own reading of the situation is that this is the last kind of bush by russia to half of the eastern don boss matter, settled through diplomatic means if all. busy the forces around the grain and all that in a big rush from united states and france and germany on milton, off the move you great to was implementing the meet agreements, which ukraine really doesn't want to implemented by the way, because it's really i was done in a made me in a point, a weakness for ukrainian while after that had been defeated on the battle of hilton 14 and 15 van ra thing. russia will be moving to kind of bland b,

which i guess would be a recognition of the break away republics. and then the forces along the pregnant border will be kind of a guarantee or insurance against ukraine, doing anything on rush, you know, terms, terms of stopping to happening. but i think that diplomatic route is still probably the, the preferred option for us at the moment. alex feet of lecture in modern european history at queens, university and belfast and a political analyst specializing in russia at sir thank you for sharing your views and opinions of us. thank you. thank you. now in the past few minutes, north korean state media is reported to have confirmed that the test of a missile was thought to be the most powerful since 2000. and 17 south korea's military says the intermediate range, ballistic missile was launched from chad, gang province. and landed outside japan's exclusive economic zone in the sea of japan. japan and south korea tracked the missile as it reached an altitude of 2000

kilometers. it took about half an hour to travel around 800 kilometer as it's the 7th launch this month. and it appears to be the most powerful miss. al tested over the past 5 years or soon after the launch south korea's leader moon j in held an emergency, a national security council meeting. he says the north is coming close to destroying a self imposed moratorium on missile tests. the u. s. is urging the country to refrain from provocations and engage in diplomatic talks. the conflict in yemen has been raging for nearly 8 years. creating with the united nations is called the world's worst humanitarian catastrophe. the ongoing battle for control between who the rebels and the internationally recognized government has devastated lives. millions of people are now desperate for food and medicine with the situation only getting worse. i said big has more

malnourished but receiving treatment. her brother lost his life for the same reasons. there are hundreds of other families in a similar situation in this port, city of who they are in western yemen and across the rest of the country. the databases are there and that she suffers under nourishment, pneumonia, and also diarrhea and about cough. her condition is unpredictable. as you can see, she is very fro. massena is one of the few receiving treatment. they are an estimated 40000 children not getting the food. they need to grow up healthy, and a further to 1000000 suffer from moderate malnutrition. the regretfully, the cases we received are all very critical that considering the many style living conditions, city, lack of medical care and failure to treat other symptoms. my also lead to acute under nourishment. it's very alarming. we lose hundreds of children. many, many do not have access to medical facilities. the war has been raging since 2014

agencies are struggling to meet the demand in 2015. the united nations declared german, one of the biggest humanity in crisis in the world and was saudi arabia and the us have spent billions of dollars on the wall in comparison very little has been spent on those who have suffered as a result. i said, bay, i'll just do a military course in democratic republic of congo has sentence 49 people to death. the killings of 2 united nations investigators in 2017. a mass trial began 4 years ago, but 22 of the accused remain at large and were tried in their absence. same bus driver has won the murder of to you and workers in democratic republic of congo and 2017 made international headlines. they were killed in a country that remains. one of the most under reported in the world is either cut along with swedish, michael,

sharp american. the 2 are investigating mass graves in the cause, i region when they went missing. their bodies were found in a village more than 2 weeks later, zada had been beheaded. the court's verdict guilty and 51 of the 54 accused given the death penalty that got it, that people from the court has made its decision on the charges of terrorism. war crime, a murder, participation in an infraction movement, and the act of wall crime for mutilations, bits, military court center thing you to death for these crimes. but questions remain about the possible involvement of state security. what is clear is that the prosecution that has not looked into as take responsibility. and so now i'm, you know, there is a verdict and, but there is a clear needs from the authorities to look up at high up the chain of command and to investigate further. senior officials who ultimately may bear responsibility for

the planning and the ordering for those killings. the most senior person on trial was an army colonel who was sentenced to 10 years in prison. his lord describe the ruling as a miscarriage of justice. i must dress sibyl bidden, is today's verdict. colonel johnson, you mum, winnie, was charged with crimes that you didn't commit, use charged with an act of dissipating orders and failure to assist a person in danger. this trial is a setup. we will appeal that's burdick into the kernel. mom gwinnett is a good man who served his country and he shouldn't be charged with such a crime. think i am, at the time of the murders congolese government forces were trying to put down an armed uprising that killed and displaced thousands of people. one theory was militia, men killed the 2 aid workers because the u. n. fail to stop the armies attacks against on saturdays verdict is likely to be appealed. and since

a 2003 moratorium on executions sentences are likely to be commuted to life in prison. in basra v o 0 hundreds of people have taken part in an event to like 50 years since bloody sunday. 14 people were killed after british soldiers opened fire on a civil rights protest in northern ireland in 1972. that half a century later, the calls for justice persist and in baba has more. ah, walking in the footsteps of the victims half a century on people of all ages walked through london dairy as others had done and they stay in 1972. ah hagen, theory the thing together to remember the 13 people shot dead by british troops and the 14th victim who died later. the march through dairy was for civil rights demanding an end to discrimination against the majority catholic community in northern islands. and to the recently introduced policy of internment without trial

. mm. it ended in an atrocity. when members of the british armies, parachute regiments fired more than a 100 live rounds and unarmed civilians. half of those killed. what's he natures? most of the british army leaders at the time in the 1970s had experience in kenya in cyprus, in, in the middle east and aiden. now yemen, so, so their attitude towards that the people they confronted on bloody sunday was very much informed by those kinds of emergencies. ah, when initial government report largely exonerated the paratroopers and british authorities. but in 2010, the extensive several inquiry found that the victims were unarmed and pose no threat. and the soldiers commander had violated his orders. prime minister david cameron, apologized for the unjustified and unjustifiable killings. bloody sunday led to a surgeon recruits to the provisional irish republican army or i r a which led the

alms campaign. trying to force british troops and police out of northern islands society. we read the terrible war. and because the conflict which was only and just asian sort of periods, even up to up to the end of 18th $71.00 became worse and the doctor biggest. and i would say there's hundreds of the phones of people lost their life because of the sunday. you know, more than 3 and a half 1000 people were killed in the troubles, the 3 decades of violence involving republican power, amenities, loyalist or british power ministries and the british army tirelessly across the decades of toil to clear your loved ones. names. last year, british prosecutors announced the new british soldier, charged with murder would not like trial. and the government's pushing legislation that according to its critics, amounts to an amnesty for all killings during the troubles,

including by security forces miko many of those who lost loved ones on bloody sunday. say they're still fighting for justice along that bar. d baba al jazeera, this is al jazeera life from london, still to come, a church losing its flock. why young people in poland, a turning away from catholicism. and we meet the indonesian fishermen jailed for people smuggling after rescuing stranded to a hinge a refugee plus in sport encryption strike. and mohammed select keeps his country on course to win an 8 african title. ah, if it's garbage day for you in the low countries, your bins mego miss in here is why hello,

everyone of fierce wind blowing down from the north sea running right into the low countries. so for example, in amsterdam, we could see those winds wind up to about 85 kilometers per hour. this is a wind out of the northwest. so you are certainly going to feel that snow is cutting across side germany rate through into pole in the czech republic, austria and switzerland. we may see some mixing as well as we head toward lower ground. a weather maker in the eastern med is funneling some pretty white weather through southern turkey's cypress, and this is crashing in to the levant. now for the western mediterranean, we've got some high temperatures here, southern spain, seville at 23. let's remember, monday is the last day of january and you're getting pretty close to a record 24.2. we've got you in for 23 degrees. so might weather for the northwest, stand the northeast of africa, also sand and dust, to be expected for places like new arc shout with a high of $27.00 degrees on monday. out of what weather for southern africa. this

centuries. more recently, a major influence in the anti communist solidarity movement. and of course, it gave the world a pope. it is a church now in a state of moral crisis and declined that some believe could be terminal, wasn't done. chris is the bishops don't seem to realize how deep this crisis is to progress to attach to their luxuries and palaces. the decline is very steep. i think even vertical on you, so you as a 12 year old old boy in the 1980s young she make was sexually abused by his parish priest. it went on her 5 years vivid and disturbing testimony presented to his area bishop in 1993. was at 1st ignored and then he says covered up in pre trial hearings ahead of a civil case being heard next month, the church question deanus his own sexuality and whether he might actually have enjoyed the abuse and internal church investigation sentenced his abuser to a period of reflection and prayer to continue to be in psycho logical and

psychiatric treatment. some of the i think i will suffer until the end of my life because these memories cannot be away from my mind. father andre kobylinski is electra at warsaw. as catholic university. i asked him if enough was being done to address the crisis, not at all, not at all, not at all. unfortunately, it may, it is a very upsetting, but there is no courage to answer to all these challenges. allegations of historic sexual abuse by catholic priests have been piling up as the issue has gained prominence and exposure since 2019 and claims of negligence by the church hierarchy have led to the official censure of a dozen polish bishops in what the church describes as a process of purification, but that is done nothing to prevent or collapse in the numbers who regularly attend

mass, especially among the young in a country that officially classifies 90 percent of its population as catholic among young people with more liberal attitudes to things like abortion divorce and l g b t rights, less than 10 percent have a positive view of the church. i think it's impossible to turn for church to have any future if they continue to say things like that. they're saying now. and because like times are changing before are changing nowadays charged doesn't live up to then the times we are living now and just stace backwards to people like kasha, the church, is an institution with dwindling relevance in their lives, of faith in free fall. here in poland, jonah whole al jazeera war, so mutation of covered 19 which has been dove stells,

omicron by some scientists, appears to be gaining traction worldwide. or leave research suggests it could be even more transmissible than the original version of our micron. but it severity is still unclear, come out. santa maria has more still saw micron sounds ominous, doesn't it? but there is a bit more. so understanding is and exactly where it fits into the bigger cove. it picture 1st thing to note is that it is not necessarily new. we've actually known about 3 members of the amazon family since early december. be i point one, that's the main one which we all know and dislike. quite frankly, be a point 2 and point 3. they are like baby siblings. they're just sort of sitting in the background and not doing a lot. any thing is, be a point to is now to continue the analogy up and walking, and able to get in simple things. here's another visualization for you. this is from next strain dot old, right down the bottom. they all that orange cluster. that is all army kron, b i point one forming the bulk of it. but if we zoom in and hiding behind it in

light orange, i'll circle it. they're somewhat stealthily bad as b. i point to it's tricky because it doesn't have the same genetic quirk of b, i point one which allowed on the cross to be identified in just a, a p c artist. what is all this main? while at this stage, not much more beyond the fact that all micron isn't going anywhere. in fact, i've looked at this slide from our world and day here, a dozen countries which i've chosen. alma krohn is more than 90 percent dominant in while the bulk of them, though i would say right down the bottom, that you've got new zealand and germany, which still have a quarter of their cases in the form of delta. and speaking of delta, it is worse as quickly going back to this slide. all the blue cases, those are all dealt her in different shades of blue, but just look here at how the numbers a starting to thin out as opposed to the sort of dense clusters of 3 or 4 months ago. if there is an upside to all micron, it's that the more severe delta variant is also seemingly less prevalent. many of

the world's best long distance runner is the k come from the highlands of western kenya. but the pandemic has led to the cancellation of the races they used to compete in. and as malcolm web reports now from a pin in that kenya, that's been devastating for communities that depend on home grown athletes. this time, 3 years ago, sammy quebec was traveling the world running marathons that'll change to the global pandemic. now, he sells boiled eggs here on the streets of the town of 10. in kenya. he took top positions in races around africa, asia in europe, and was paid to be the pacemaker, in others. most years he and thousands of dollars selling eggs paid less than $5.00 a day. there is a divide in between my mother. so we have at

least have a little bit by now because the, the income family hasn't stopped training along with many other athletes. the most of the events that they used to compete in have stopped because of cove. it that's been bad news. the athletes here in a 10 is where many of the worlds fastest long distance runners come from is 2400 meters above sea level perched on a plateau high above the great rift valley. before the pandemic, athletes came from all over the world to train here, alongside that canyon counterparts. these men are among attend professional athletes. there are at least a 1000 of them, and almost all of them of last some will, all of their income of the last couple years because of the pandemic, because there were hardly any other jobs here. several thousands of people in turn depend on the athletes, livelihoods,

a place that they can come for care. then national re by award has been well received by those who leave and work in the area. non, i know we have not seen any hospital like these before. it blends in video oil. it's nothing artificial is used, even the brakes are natural. it's clean, neat, and beautiful, both inside and outside compared to other buildings in the area as look, we can proud board with the $140.00 the impact of climate change in nature was a major consideration for the architects. we realized that the landscape was changing. the agriculture landscape was changing from agriculture, people who were moving into from farming because of the rising sea levels and, and the sea water that has come in and even underground. so we had to sort of look into those issues in detail, study and research. why this was happening and what were the villages doing to sort

of combat that. and we sort of took their wisdom and brought it into the design of this hospital. the canal inside the building plays a crucial role. the canal also helps at a different level. it helps with the micro climate and cooling, so it helps to avoid any form of air conditioning and power consumption in the entirety of the compass. the other aspect of this can out as it is a divider. so we were able, in terms of the zoning of the hospital, we were able to separate very clearly the outdoor departments and the indoor departments in patient departments. space was designed not just for hospital wards, treatment rooms and operating theatres, but for general healing and wellness to when you walk into this building, it doesn't appear like a hospital. it blends in so well with the local landscape and topography. there's a sense of belonging to the nature if we don't take care of our nature of our

environment, in all aspects and in every corner of our planet, we will not be able to save our home, which is this beautiful, beautiful place that we have. just appraised the architects for putting care and humanity at the heart of the design to be charged re, jazeera, shop care, bangladesh. ok, it's time now for some pretty amazing sports news here is andy. yes, thanks. barbara found that al has indeed pulled off a memorable title. when in the australian open, after more than 5 hours of play, he p dental might have to secure that wreck or 21st grand slam title. so hell, malick reports. oh, history has been made at the australian open. ruffin ladon has won a record 21st grand slam title. and he did it by producing arguably the greatest comeback of his career ah. taking on 2nd c, danny meditative,
