a professor jacob always could have you on the program. let's just begin with how unsettling or dangerous is the outcry over these comments now, becoming for new delhi at home and abroad? thank you for having me. i love you of the fact that this happened a week ago and of no purpose in the country for almost a week. this is only a stopper today, you know, for almost a week what we witnessed was the diplomatic backlash against india. it had foreign policy implications with in the diplomat being summoned by our santa foreign ministry in the middle east. so we thought that this was going to be conveyed, adapt never within giving the assurances to those states and divinities you the best ation region. that the, the, the, the people who designated the pro, what would be taken to task be charged off work today are things have become somewhat defend that you're looking at after the fight affairs. i lot of brokers being undertaken the in the radio spot for the going to be in one by deli,

a hydra bar, westbound garden, one with me as well as you can actually pointed out the in pakistan and in back about this. so this is quite and proceeded out of there was a feeling in delhi that this was, can they are that things would go on as usual, but i think it seems have taken a very different done. i didn't of that. and it seemed that some muslim groups in the country international observe as well as human rights groups are suggesting that utilized tact has been in recent years to demean, punish and demonized minority groups, the indian foreign ministry, and i quote, the offensive tweets and comments did not in any way, reflect the views of the indian government. so what are we to believe about what's coming out of new delhi from, from the political hierarchy? i think the, i think the problem here is that the why the government itself, the establishment itself does not support and you know, this kind of fall on the status against the minorities machine in particular,

are the foggy that is in power. he's the father of that party with his air right. we are thinking, bob is the cause of the hinders what i want to comply, and that has willy nilly support the on certain statements against her are indian muslims. and more importantly, are in many of the rightly organizations who have been going, offering didn't muslims in the past to have been, you had a lot of impunity, there hadn't been taken catharsis or to sonics. and therefore, our one would make the argument that for a very long time, what happened in india was somewhat condemned in india. because if you don't have any international implications, but that does not mean there are things not happening in the, in the upper prosecution are for minorities, for example, that have been happening. but now he has taken it turn where the investment community has a ne and and dad is seeking urgent action from, from you to lee. but this is your job. it is not an acceptor, this has been going on and i was indeed an obese. all these comments were made only a week ago, a washington's annual report on religious freedom around the world. contained

a rare if in direct criticism of new delhi, they documented incendiary comments by indian public officials and accounts of discrimination against muslims and christians. in india. this all feeds into what you were saying about right wing hindu groups and the fact that a, they were having a sensitive impunity about the way they behaved. india doesn't like that sort of criticism coming from abroad. but this is now becoming an issue that is being focused and positioned at the door of 11 race course road and prime minister moody perhaps needs to do something or say some things certainly to alleviate the pressure that he's getting from in the international community. absolutely, i think for a very long time, there was there work. this isn't coming from iran, especially from the madison from india and europe. and whenever such criticism came our way, our indians basically even gone visibly dismissed that you know that this is it

appropriately. median are so far ob, state demand statements coming from the rest of the united states. but now at this time around, these criticisms are not coming from the west of united america. they're coming from our neighborhood. there are from the middle east and indian depends heavily on the, on the, on the west. if you get this on, the gulf can be for in a g, r for a maintenance, those and almost 9000000 of our people do work there. so this is a very defender arm of game altogether, but as you can actually pointed out, i think it is fine for mr. morley to come out, and that was the nation. and there sure are the, the of 200000000 or 14 percent off in the us. what connection are mostly so of that, that there brought would not be identical to the and that, that they will be able to live in peace and harmony in this country. for international audience, who just talk a little bit about this relationship between india and the gulf and remittances at a cent, from the gulf into india. they are hugely important, hugely beneficial to a large proportion of the population as well as to the indian exchequer. if i just

so paraphrase this in 2008, when we had the financial crash, i was in india at the time, i saw lots of indian exports coming back because they lost their jobs. now we're seeing indian products taken off shelves and the potential, perhaps for more an you might say a fall out if, if indian employees, for example, lose their jobs and have to go back to india. this could become a lot bigger. absolutely. i mean, just consider before india has about 9000000 office because it's working in the middle east. $40000000000.00 us dollars is the right because it's coming doing every year and 60 percent of india, oil or energy comes from the middle east and region. and i didn't find them, it would be a skilled, recovering from the onslaught. all the find the make it be a simply cannot afford to lose this kind of a business and connectivity with, with the middle east. we recently find that agreement with the us. we are in the

goal with the guns for council, for the free period agreement. i'm so the way you look at it, this is a very, very important message. if i'm, if it is in the middle east, stop battling indian products that are in the country is going to be the problem. so this is a branch time for the leaders have we have to take it re steps against the those guilty and reach out to these countries and tell them that this will not be repeated in future and bring them back to be taken against others. we shall see what happens between days for the moment professor, happy me on jacob, thanks so much for joining us from joy. hello. nearing university in new delhi, thank you. i inflation in the united states as had a 40 year high consumer prices jumped 8.6 percent in may compared to last year. even more than economists had expected solar petrol prices have been blamed with

demand colliding with persistent supply shortages. the rate rises expected to come next week and response and again in july, putting even more pressure on us households. of course, over to our white house correspondent can be how can it's not really good news can believe that full days, many americans will already struggling to pay their bills. this news is going to comes quite disappointing to them. it's disappointing for ordinary americans, and it's disappointing for the biden administration because it was the u. s. president. that promised that this was something that was transitory, that this was something that was due to supply shortages as a result of the coven 19 pandemic. but it's clear that it is much more than that. and what we saw this week was the treasury secretary, janet yell and saying that by the medicine administration, miscalculated the inflation that the expectations were that it would not be as bad as it is. and so these numbers are particularly discouraging. the fact is,

is that we're setting records repeatedly with these economic policies, the latest that we have not seen numbers like this since 1981. and the reason that is so stark is that for many older americans, 1981 was a time when there was a different president in charges. they remember when the jimmy carter years when there were long lines of people lining up the gas stations in order to try and fill their gas tanks and being unable to do so. and so they're getting fearful because they remember that for younger americans, they simply remember the times that they've been told about, and they're scared that they're not going to be able to pay for the basic goods. what we're seeing here are high energy prices, but across the board of difficulty in terms of trying to pay for the ordinary goods that americans count on. for example, when it comes to rent, we've seen in new york city hitting a high of $4000.00

a month just to pay for an apartment to the median. and the interest rates rising, squeezing many americans out of the market for buying a home. and when it comes to ordinary things like paying for the laundry detergent to wash your clothes, to the food that you put on the table, all of this is sky high. it is making it difficult for ordinary americans who have not seen their wages go up at the same pace as the goods they need to buy, just to survive and could be keeping on the same thing, but of slight pivot in the fact that sitting with the economy or this news, what kinds of tests in terms of travelers arriving in the country and the impact back good of on the economy. and so, well, that is one of the big reasons that there is this, the expectation that the news that on sunday, this mandate by the, by the administration, that those coming into the united states must have a negative covey task, will quietly be allowed to expire. and the reason being that what we're hearing is

that this has been costing the united states valuable tourist dollars, valuable business, that it needs right now in order to inject into economy that is clearly struggling . so what we're seeing is that this is an administration that is trying to revive its economy from every ankle. and this is just another example of that. the reason that this testing was put in place is because there are so many millions of americans who have chosen not to get vaccinated. unlike other countries that mandate a vaccination, the united states does not do that. so instead they have put in place the requirement that you must have a negative test. but this is clearly had an economic impact. now it appears the centers for disease control is considered relaxing. that requirement. kimberly elk river oh whitehouse correspond thanks so much. kimberly that led to more had here all the al jazeera news are including president trump summit. the mob assembled the

mob and lit the flame at this attack. a u. s. congressional committee described last year as a tag on capitol hill as an attempted coup. plus, gone are the founder of the animals, the birds, the insects that live in the forest. and we'll have more the impact of deforestation in the colombian, amazon. as well as a sport we'll hear from quarterback tom brady on his return from a 6 week retirement. ah, the chinese defense minister way thing says that beijing will not hesitate to start a war if taiwan declares independence. he's been meeting years defense, zachary lloyd austin, the u. s. says their 1st face to face talks focused on the island which china views as a breakaway province, or washington has called on beijing to refrain from further destabilizing actions.

jessica washington has more from singapore. this focus as has been in the past with shangri la dialogue, is very much on tensions between the us and china. but it is important to note of course, such many other countries from the asia pacific will also be represented at the summit. and i'm just going to bring in an expert, aaron connolly who works with the w double s, with nicholas focus on south east asia. is that correct to say that all eyes are on us and china this weekend? would you say that? i think a lot of the meetings that you'll see take place will be seen through the prism of us china relations. so the 2 defense ministers just met. but there are a lot of other meetings happening that where that will be a topic of conversation the us trying to relationship singapore in prime, minister least in long when he's asked what singapore, the most important bilateral relationship. it often said that the us, china,

bilateral relationship all the other countries in the region as well. there are some developments in the asia pacific, the typically relating to security, specifically pacific countries like the solomon islands, but also more recently, cambodia that has caught the attention of defense officials around the world. what comments you have on those. but being really has united states on the back, but they're developing these agreements with you and for example, and also with the column, an island, both of whom are here at the conference, will be speaking tomorrow, trying to arrange for their forces to be based on those countries or perhaps short periods of time, perhaps long periods of time. a little bit unclear and i think other countries in the region are going to want clarity from the solomon island thinking body on what those agreements actually entail. thank you so much for those very important insights. we do expect to hear from the defense chief us and china coming days. those features will be watched very closely by not just the delegates present here today, but leaders around the age of an attempted coo and

a brazen attempt to overthrow the government. that's how us congressional committee was described last year. the taco capitol hill. the hearing is also investigating donald trump's continuing denials that he lost the 2020 presidential election. how did your castro has more for washington dc? oh, this is what police saw on january 6th, 2021. when they were overwhelmed by a mob trying to overturn president donald trump's election defeat capital police officer carol and edward was the 1st of many officers to be injured. there were officers on the ground. ah, you know, they were bleeding, they were throwing up. they were, you know, they had, i mean, i saw friends with blood all over their faces. i was slipping in people's blood while riders vandalized the capital and threatened to kill members of congress.

trump was watching it all unfold on tv from the white house. according to committee, investigators trump ignored please from advisors and trapped members of congress to call off the riders. aware of the rioters chance to hang mike pence, the president responded with this sentiment quote, maybe our supporters have the right idea. mike pence quote, deserves it. committee investigators also argued that a trump tweet in december was the impetus for far right groups to plan the insurrection. showing videotape depositions of writers, confirming their motives, he personally asked for us to come to dc that. and i thought, for everything he's known for us. if it's the only thing he can go ask me, i'll do all of us here today. then there was the ongoing effort led by trump to falsely claim the election had been stolen. the committee showed video of then

attorney general bill bar testifying that the claim was in fact a lie and made it clear. i did not agree with the idea of saying the election was stolen and putting out the stuff which i told the president was both. and i, you know, i didn't want to be a part of it. investigators say trump didn't listen, but his daughter yvonne cut told them she did. i respect attorney general bar. so a accepted what he sent was sent, according to the committee chairman, taken as a whole, the riot and the efforts to overturn the election was nothing short of a coup attempt of 1st in american history. january 6 was the culmination of an attempted cou, a brazen attempt as one right to put it shortly after january 6 to overthrow the government. then republican leaders and congress remain the former

presidents defenders. in fact, it is the most political and least legitimate committee in american history. it is used congressional subpoenas to attack republicans violate due process and infringe on the political speech a private citizen. this was just the explosive beginning to a half dozen more public hearing scheduled for his mind. there promised to feature more testimony from former trump aids were threatened to resign and believe from was too dangerous to leave by himself. in the waning days of his presidency, patty jo, castro, al jazeera washington. let's get more listen, rosalind jordan, nice following events for us from capitol hill high rosa months from november's mid term and presidential elections and a couple of years. i mean, what's the hearing really trying to achieve school as one analyst put it in the new york times on friday?

this is an attempt for the select committee, which is dominated by democrats, has just 2 republican members on it. but that's because most of the people from the republican party who wanted to be on the panel have argued that nothing wrong happened. on january 6th, 2021. the select committee is basically trying to make the appeal to the american public. it's going past the national and international media. it is speaking directly to the american people about what happened up here nearly a year and a half ago. now the thinking is that by spelling out all this information, at least people will know, cannot bates argue that they did not know what was happening? what's also at work is putting out a lot of the information that perhaps the justice department might want to use as it is continuing its investigation into the events of that day. so the hearing obviously has appealed and has been watched by the american people. what happens

next in terms of, i presume will hearings that's right, this was the 1st of 6 hearings. there will be 3 hearings in the coming week, monday, wednesday, and thursday, and then 2 more hearings the following week. this is again, a way for this committee to basically lay out a summary of the thousands and thousands of hours that they have invested in trying to investigate the january 6. the tack in trying to. busy build their case for what they say was the responsibility of the former president, donald trump, to foment what happened here a year and a half ago. and to try to make the argument to the american people that they should be very concerned about the state of american democracy to try to get them to perhaps support congress in any upwards it might take to try to shore processes. so that something such as this doesn't happen again. rosa jordan at capitol hill

forest. thanks so much ross. now the palestinian foreign minister visiting the international criminal court to bring to justice those responsible for the killing of al jazeera jen le, sharing up will actually ride malik. he has delivered the findings of an investigation into a barclays death. she was shot by his ready forces last month while covering rights and janine in the occupied west bank. blake, his question the, i see he's delaying investigating crimes against palestinians. he's accusing the international community of double standards. both still had hill minis, iris, more asylum seekers make their way north through mexico. we'll look at what the u. s. is proposing to control will how to control immigration and lightning strikes on the ice and a tense playoff game between tampa bay and the new york rangers. those details coming up in schools ah

a blast of heat across the middle east. hello everyone. another spot hit 50 degrees this time it was the man in saudi arabia in the eastern province. so let's give you a wider look right now on saturday. what's going on is we had this pool of heat and iraq. it's been shut down into the radiant peninsula. by some pretty powerful when we go in for a closer look around the gulf, this is going to swirl around the sand in dusting q 8. the eastern province of saudi including demand. also for buffering. and cats are though ha, looking for wing us on saturday, up to 65 kilometers per hour, and then those temperatures will begin to fall off. the other spot temperatures have been kicked back. a bit is tater on at 32 degrees, but still high temperatures inch rise. coming in at 38 after turkey we go, there's been some flooding in the capital region about a 100 people were stranded, needed to be rescued in honora. and it's really this western side of turkey that

continues to be unsettled. we do have some showers for the e. p. o, p in highlands concentrated rain, southern edge area into cameroon. and it's nice for how for the western cape, the northern cape. but that is about to change as we head towards sunday evening, this weather maker marches in winds up to 80 kilometers per hour and about 80 millimeters of rain. be careful out there will cease and take care. ah, the how and why did it become so obsessed? with this law, we were giving them a tool to hold the corrupt individuals in human rights abusers accountable. very good. i rip this deal apart if they take the white house in 2025. what is the world hearing what we're talking about? why american today? your weekly take on us politics and society, that's the bottom line. relieving eco friendly solutions to combat threats to our planet. on al jazeera al jazeera world meets 2 arabs,

demanding the rest of the suspended spokeswoman for the governing b. j. p. nuku sharma or suspended on sunday after making comments about the prophet muhammad, that many consider offensive inflation in the united states. as had a 40 year high consumer prices jumped 8.6 percent in may compared to last year, even more than the economist had expected. soaring petrol prices a partly to blame and chinese defense minister has told his u. s. counterpart, the beijing will not hesitate to start a war. if taiwan declines, independence, the to match at age his biggest security summit. now, leaders from the united states, latin america and the caribbean, as you to announce the plan to prevent uncontrolled migration to the u. s. the los angeles declaration will be launched at the summit of the americas later on friday . under the u. s. ed agreement incentives to host asylum seekers will be given to countries across the region, but lead us from the countries that account for the largest row of migrants to the

u. s. including venezuela and several central american countries are not present at the summit. let's go live to our latin america at a salisia newman who's in chillies capital santiago. so what one does, how the latin american countries get to react to these proposals or migration? coming out of this sir, los angeles declaration, lucia they think that they are going to be a pleased with at least the idea that the white house is now trying to engage with latin american leaders and then come to some kind of agreement. this is still very, very much in the diapers stage, if you like. there's a lot more to do the united states is talking about a partnership to, to cooperate and to and to share the burden, which is something that the latin american countries have long been asking for. now remember, migration is not just or is no longer just in the direction north,

in other words, towards the u. s. border or to europe, but rather within south america, particularly itself, that means millions of undocumented migrants are moving in the direction of chile, argentina, peru. so it is becoming more and more a problem for the entire region, not just for central america and mexico. now the problem is that many of the countries that are most involved in the inner migration, and that is mexico several central american countries, venezuela and cuba. as well as in nicaragua, well as part of central america were not invited in the case of venezuela tuba, nicaragua, and in the case of mexico that decided to boycott that summit. precisely because president joe biden decided not to invite 3 countries that he considered dictatorships, the. the sweets that was given by argentina's president speaking on behalf of the seller group. and that makes up all of the countries of latin america,

including those that were excluded from this summit, i made a very, very harsh speech, and he told president biden, in no uncertain terms that he had had no right as the host of the summit to exclude anybody, he said that this was not like a private dinner where you invite whoever you liked to your house and demand. as you mentioned, venezuela's president, it wasn't invited, but he said me is on his travels though, isn't it? he has, he is he, i just arrived to day in tehran. now this is not seen as a coincidence. it is probably president nichol, asthma, looters, way of if you liked, sticking out his tongue, wagging his tongue at president biden, for not having invited him now. there is a saying that you are supposed to keep your friends close and your enemies closer. so the fact that nicholas, my little is now closing up to the leaders of tehran at this moment, as president biden drives to of, to finalize this summit, that has been,

according to many of the were summit of the mall so far. of the 9 summits of the americas because of the number of people that either boycotted it or didn't our didn't go oh, weren't invited. i it is is significant. and it's also significant because remember, there been, is layla is the world's has the world's largest reserves of oil at a time when the world needs it. and so while on the one hand, president biden wants to negotiate rather subtly with venezuela to see if they can get oil imports back on track his allowing him or encouraging him. some would argue to go to, to iran, to send a message. indeed, interesting times across the americas. of course, we'll come back to you when we get more news of what's coming out of the summit of the americas, the senior min, their force in santiago. now staying in the region, a group of thousands of asylum seekers migrants traveling towards the us through mexico has been brought to a halt when he is spending days waiting for humanitarian visas that would allow them to transit freely on more rapid reports,

not from ship house state oh, cries of desperation for migrants in week sla, mexico, they're calling on authorities to grant them humanitarian transit visas. after waiting for days, this family from venezuela have finally had their paperwork approve. the documents allow them to move freely through mexico and make their way toward the us southern border. and if i had got a that i say monassa kind of a chola, they're like it's only after almost 3 weeks. this represents one less obstacle, at least now we have a permit to transit the country. now we need to figure out how to get the money for bus tickets and try to look for work. most of these people arrived here as part of a migrant caravan that left the city of top actually near mexico's border with guatemala. on monday the massive people marching on the road

seemed endless. louder, got frustrated with the slow pace. some moved on ahead. other people chose to wait for their transit visas and in just a few days, what was once a caravan of thousands, mostly cease to exist? medea and oscar also from venezuela have decided to make their way toward mexico city by bus, along with their young daughter and about a dozen other migrants they're exhausted, but optimistic that their hardships will soon be over. you say the truth is this has been very difficult. we cross the jungle. there were many people who died, others who couldn't go any further. i don't wish what we've been through on any one . we've experienced hunger and thirst, but we have many hopes and dreams of arriving at our destination. it's a long road toward the mexican capital. once there, they'll only be

a few days away from arriving on the doorstep of the united states with their transit fees as in hand, many migrants will continue north aboard buses like the one we're on. now. those traveling without the necessary paperwork, run the risk of being detained and sent back to southern mexico to start their journey again. madrid up a little al jazeera she up as mexico. brazilian authorities have narrowed the search for an indigenous rights defender and the british journalist who went missing in the amazon on sunday. investigate to say they found traces of blood on the both of and rested suspect. although he's looking into the hunters and fishermen working illegally in the area connected to the disappearance for deforestation, and fines in columbia as amazon rain forest destroying hundreds of thousands of hector of jungle every year to make space for capital wrenching, mining and drug trafficking last year more than a $170000.00 actors were lost. that's more than double the size of the us city of

new york. in the 1st of to report, algae air is alessandra pnc flies over the amazon to assess the damage an illegal road cut through what used to be priest, the rain forest. around the cemetery of centuries, old trees reduced to dust. look, those are big patches and most likely for cocoa fields or cattle ranching, which will definitely disconnect this area of data runs and n g o that protects the colombian amazon. he brought us on a 5 hour long flight across 5 national parks and supposedly protected indigent planes up none are intact. criminal hands are grabbing land and burning trees for intensive agriculture, kettle ranging your coca farming, la magnitude elaine, the magnitude and the intensity of the destruction that we are able to see over 5 national parts on the most bio diverse area of colombia in the middle of the fragile transition between the andes in the amazon is

free countries of coffee will not be deterred by such policies. and the u. k. government has already been in the range. busy of what had been described as host bottom and policies toward montgomery seekers. and these have not deterred at people from costing board. and on the contrary, reducing the goals for, for cleaning upside them, increases the document to goals because people don't have the opportunity to apply to the secular program, cetera, et cetera. and so they will try and whatever way they can to seek safety. so that because president says, due process must be followed after the latest allegations of corruption and bribery . sort of on the poser is accused of trying to cover up a robbery at his game farm in february involving millions of dollars. he says the funds of private and public money and that he won't be responding to insults or speculation. i will do all these matters consideration against the

backdrop of the advice i have. but this mentor should be ventilated in the proper inappropriate for. and i repeat that the law must take its course, and due process should be the order of the day in there. and as a result, i will not right now be responding to all these matters that have been raised around to this for me to mila has moved from dallas back. all this goes back to the alleged criminal activity at his farm in limpopo province back in 2020. and the main concerns really around that is that allegedly are based on a criminal complaint laid by author frayza. he's the former intelligence, bossier, in south africa. he has said that between $4.00 and $8000000.00 was stolen from the president's home impala. paula, this was not to reported,

or when it should have been given this sum of money that was allegedly stolen. and not only that, but also members of the presidential protection unit track down the thieves and terror, gay to them potentially tortured them and then paid them off to keep quiet. and so now opposition parties, south africans in general, are wanting answers from the president. because of that large sum of money and how he may potentially be implicated in money laundering. it's really needed to be understood by many here why the president had so much money at his home. and if that a theft happened and, and, and what the implications are of not reporting it to the police. he has admitted the theft did indeed take place. but that he can account for all of that money in his home. it was due to the sale of game off opal, and that he had declared that to parliament at the time. the president though, has maintained this line for out this latest scandal in that he will not answer

still had here all the news. i why iraq, he date all chits are that have been try, think the centuries are at risk of destruction and it's sport action from the new gold series causing a major stair that's all coming up with pizza. so you stay with us here on the news . ah

ah ah ah look back, iran has long iraq, pardon me? has long been a large scale exporter of dates around the world. but water shortages wars and sanctions have led to nearly 15000000 trees being lost in the past 3 decades. the

lives of a lot of people are changing my mood up, the white head reports now from batterer. for centuries, paula mcgrue of z thrived in the town of barbara. people took pride in the quality of variety of dates. they produced ali al one's family has grown palms for generations, for droughts and salted water, have damage much of his orchard. as many of the waterways flown in from iran have been damned and tried up for abo, about 15 without a half. well, we've been relying on ground water since 2007, but it has harmful chemicals which impacts the quantity and quality of dates. many trees have been ruined by pests and diseases. there are no more states sponsored pesticide campaigns or harvest is severely savaged in water. 30 years ago, iraq had more than 30000000 palm trees,

but only about half of them have survived. many were cut down during the iran iraq war in the 1980s. others gave way to the expansion of towns and cities after the invasion of iraq in 2003 u. s. forces burned, pol mcgrooves, that could hide fighters, and that have been other challenges. dozens of palm orchards in bedra town have been destroyed by fire. fueled by scorching summer temperatures and water shortages war sinned by the damning of rivers in neighboring iran have contributed to the destruction. that is all. it is altered in not only a fall in production, but also the extinction of unique varieties of dates. along with other middle eastern countries. iraq has long been one of the world's top day producers. but

it's output plunge it after the u. s. led invasion and has only slowly begun to recover the more aware an oil color. many types disappeared, others have decreased, but the regular types have survived the. in the past, we used to send special varieties to other provinces across the country to neighboring countries and further abroad weimer than the agriculture ministry is backing the creation of new upon forests in several provinces and the capital baghdad. but for now, the loss of old palmer trees means there are fewer airable lands to raise livestock and support jobs. back in his orchard alley continues working. george, trying to preserve siblings of the old rail varieties to keep

a remnant of their halcyon days. more that there were had algebra in bedroom town near the iraqi iranian border fulltime spot. now his peter veg, so stay 2 of the inaugural loved gov ferries, and organizers have announced another big signing with 2020. ready s open champion bryce and the sambo joining the competition has caused controversy over its benefactor. the saudi public investment fund. to further discuss this, when are joined by golf accommodates at luke alvy looked at. have you join us a lot has been said about the new tour. what did you make of day one? no one should be seen as a success. peter, on the side of live golf because they delivered quite a vibrant, entertaining package. this new concept that they said to get to revolutionize golf . i certainly gave people a little bit of an excitement, lannigan revolutionize golf by any stretch can certainly added some management to

the the usual slow broadcasts. now one of the big debates has been, is the series good for golf? which side of the fairway are you on the pedal? i said on the side of the i believe it's good to go. it was a certainly promoting a little bit of competition for the main job would have had let's say, you know, the role of the roof for the best part of 50 years. and it allows other parts of the world to see right golfers as well on top of emerging styles from regions that most people don't make it to the big stage. i getting an opportunity as well. so i feel it was a positive for golf and not many people like change, particularly a very traditional sport like golf. but i think this lived all series has the opportunity to really am far up the game. okay, so the players have been criticized for taking the huge money that is on offer. is that fair or unfair? yes. is a lot of judgment going on,

isn't there particular in the world of social media? i don't know too many people that would not back the money to be fair. and most people are easy to have a moral high ground by just standing behind a fine and sitting a couple of toys. but the reality is, i believe it's unfair. and these golfers are independent contractors and anyone who's looking to further their employment or known, make more money doing what they're doing in a capitalistic society. i can argue with that. okay, so let me throw this at you, right? if a player playing, let's say basketball in the, in be a moves from one franchise to another, there's usually a signing on fee or a bonus that might come along with that. in this instance, someone leaving the pga tour, let's be honest, not necessarily by choice, but maybe even by force i. e, a suspension, but they signing up for an alternative to arrival to her. and there's a signing on bernice lisa signing on fi right. what is really so terrible about that? well, that's the position i come from. great. that's exactly that position is that if

you're looking to further yourself in anything, you do an arrival team or a tour or a business brings you across will. if i want your talents, they pay up for you, they pay more, that's what happens in the real world. and that's exactly what's happened has happened. and as you mentioned, the f. b, i had happens in the nfl would same formula one benefit, rightly with the investment of the saudi money. it's driving right now. newcastle united went from relegation. so inside the top, 10 in the spices, 6 months and money can still do good things even if people don't like where it's ultimately coming from. but again, i, i can't fall to player for wanting to make law doing what they do. that's what professional sports is. they don't play for points in the real world points, don't buy homes or feed families or do things that allow people to live accountable existence an money does. that's the capitalism, society that we live it. okay. one last question for you, the saudis,

being accused of sports washing the counter argument, is that this could be an opportunity for them to repay the image. how do you feel? well, there's a foot in both cans really? um, you know, the world didn't really argue when china hosted the olympic games of russia with staci as well. and as people that have done this in the past to improve their public image, sports unifies people, sports excites and entertains people. so it's natural that people do have the mains to be able to, you know, draw more attention to their nation, white, the saudis, i using sports golfs. yet another version of that i'm, you know, you can say that sports washing or you can say it's trying to improve a public image or it's just basically your opinion. that's all it is luke, i'll be thank you very much for your time. appreciate it. pleasure pill. tom brady has been speaking about his return to the nfl after 6 week retirement. ready who

turns 45 in august decided he was not done yet and will chase an 8th superbowl trophy when the season begins. in september, the tampa bay buccaneers quarterback has been taking part in a mini training camp with the rest of the team, shrugging off questions as to why he reversed his retirement of the just 41 days. she's at long time ago, that's happening between now and in yes, it's a lot, lot of different things. so it was a while ago. i feel like it's kind of new past that point to be honest and but i'm happy i'm back. happy back to my teammates and at it's going be a great year. and that's what was both. thanks peter. and you'll be watching me out there at news. i'll be back with more news on the other side of the break. please stay with us. i'll be back virtually. mm hm.
