me rock way supporters of the influential she ain't leader, mac tad. our father have stormed the presidential palace in bagdad. that's after solder amounts. he is withdrawing from politics. the army has imposed a care a few in baghdad. and a nationwide curfew is said to take effect in the coming hours sat as supporters have been holding as city and outside parliament for a month. now. iraq hasn't had a functioning government in nearly a year. life to our correspondent in baghdad, mahmoud abdullah had mom would bring us up to speed with what's been happening in the last few hours. quite attend situation. what if he can hear right in the background? that is still gunfire being shot. we're not far from the a parliamentary that is where the supporters have been staging their sit in for a month now. now after the storm at the provincial palace, they were moved out by security forces. great police. entre if you can still hear the still gunfire in the background,

it was very cute to as soon as thousands of the supporters store them a deposition palace, the right police entered and use the gas, the gas canisters and takes to so that a supporter that will kill the according to security sources in 19 others, one did as they said, the security forces were using get to gas canisters and sticks. they attacked o process through the inside the position of palace all vehicles including ours. and despite the fact that our vehicle was an armored vehicle with the reinforcing glass they attacked our vehicle, we had our colleagues from our big inside. it was very clear that it was very clear to get the position of palace, the protectors returned it to their base. now, in front of the parliament to sit in as you know that this fluid tweed,

by mock to the southern and i think his resignation from all the political process . right. so quite a 10 situation from what you describe and we can indeed still hear gunfire in the background as we speak to you. remind our viewers mahmoud of how we got to this point today. and what more, cato saturday resignation actually needs well, despite the fact that this is just as ignition, but it, it, it, it, it means escalation. because as soon as he said that his supporters try to move in all directions and violence a started up. but it also means some kind of frustration, the, the level of frustration or disappointment that the southern movement in general has reached after 10 months of billet political est mate, as you know,

that this tale made between political re but the, the parliament has led to a hold of operations in the parliament itself. you know that department has not been functioning for months now. so the support of camps outside of the parliament for a month and now i know there is no government in place except the k take government . as you know, for 10 months the parliament has been, has been unable to form a government or elect. and you present the state southern on the one hand, wanted to for a majority government because he says he has the largest block and the parliament with his allies. he wanted to form a majority government. on the other hand, they running back to parliamentary block known as the coordination framework. so as it wants to form a consensus government that led to there was the rule of 73 parliament member affiliated to look at 2 months ago. and then that was followed by

statements and counter statements. protest is then come to the protest. and as you know, this comes only 24 hours ahead of expected session by the supreme court to rule on the police submitted by civil lawmakers including get so that up for the lawmakers requesting the parliament be dissolved an election be held in fact that holding the state the prisoner, the state, and the caretaker, prime minister, also the speaker of the fallen was responsible for the mob dissolving the parliament, which is not functioning for months now. thank you for the updates my mood. abdullah had our correspondence live there in baghdad. when looked at our solder has been approved. she'll figure in iraqi politics for a long time. the she, i, it's leaders sanders movement is one of the most powerful factions. he rose to prominence after the end of saddam hussein's leadership in 2003 is demanded the departure of american troops and is again stephen's influence. his movement swept

to victory in elections in october last year, winning $73.00 seats. but after months of failing to form a government, he ordered his em piece to resign in june and his supporters of protest in central baghdad since july and briefly occupied parliament. lest thou bring in a sham marine shamrock miko. she's an assistant professor of international relations at boston university. thank you very much for being with us on al jazeera as not the 1st sign that looked at asada has announced his quitting politics in iraq in the past. he's actually used this as a bargaining tool. do you think that's what's happening here? is this another strategic move? thank you so much for having me. i think it's a strategic move. i think it's part of a playbook that we've seen, but slaughter has used over the past couple of decades. i think what's interesting and what kind of differentiates this recent. these recent developments from developments in the past is that in many ways or actually seeing what saunders doing, take iraq and iraqi politics. the point of brickman show. and i think that's

a dangerous game where we're seeing this kind of 0 sum game being played out. that is effectively held government hostage with no strategy. so that's a bit, i think, different from it to an extent different from what we've seen in the past. but when he says he's quitting, and he's resigning or quitting politics. what, what is he exactly resigning from? i mean, some members of his party had to raise who had already resigned from parliament a few weeks ago. what, what does this mean effectively? i think in many ways on a kind of strategic level, it signals that he is this anti establishment and t institutional kind of post 2003 arrangement that has been put in place person and figure like a kind of lead iraq potentially toward a new path and it'll be interesting, you know, resigning for politics is not necessarily the same thing for me from being completely absent and being a political right. and so thought it could very well resign from politics. but is

he going to play an apolitical role and where iraq goes next? and i think i'm kind of more or less optimistic about that part of being moving from, you know, resigning from politics to being an apolitical figure that will just let you know elections kind of dictate the government formation process. which so far he hasn't allowed yet. i wasn't able to form a government despite his body winning 73 seats in the need action. well, i think there is a lot of, well, the contention over the appointment of iraq's next president, the contention over the negotiations in terms of the allocation of seats in parliament themselves and the cabinet. and all of it speaks really to the fragility of iraq. suppose 2003 system that has affected me, have to iraqi politics hostage to the largest kind of winning colas you walk. and i think with solder is kind of emphasis on wanting

a majority parliament over and over a kind of a consensus government, which was, which is what we've seen over the last election cycles has really derailed the government formation process. so how dangerous a situation you think we're facing today and what is it going to take to resolve it? it's almost a year now since the election october, it will be a year. you know what, what is it going to take to, to end the crisis and to bring perhaps out a back to the table. yeah, that's such a good question. and i think in many ways, that's a $1000000.00 question. sauder has arguably on unrivalled way of mobilizing iraqis across right, largely urban for centers. and i think this is both an interesting kind of development in terms of how people are able to rally around this one figure. and at the same time it, is it possible dangerous game because iraq is most ordinary iraqis and most iraqi hospitals are armed. and i think one of the interesting things is with the most

recent development over the past couple of days, is really the level of the science of 0. some politics feed me out. now the question, and i think one of the things i'm paying attention to is we've seen over the past 10 months, iraq nice unable to form government. and really over the past couple of days to see the ultimate coordination of that, which is this kind of match mobile. i think both fathers camp and other i think one of the things and development i'm certainly keenly following is because is there an opportunity and room for outside mediators to come to have these groups come to some sort of a political. so even if it's a temporary one to actually for government moving forward and here, kind of paying attention to what you know, he's going to do and it's position and iraq as a mediator though we haven't seen that be signal yet. but i don't see how this could be brought to an exclusive me by relying on these groups that were the base

for mobilization. so briefly you don't think calling new elections would resolve the issue. i don't think new elections were to resolve the issue. i think it new elections actually could be detrimental because iraqis have grown from different public opinion polls that we've seen conducted inside of iraq. iraq is of already wrong iq leasing. we wary of elections to begin with. and we saw this really in the last october election, which had the lowest turn out. and what worries means that iraqis could possibly see elections as a kind of hostage shaking tool, right, for the political classic renegotiate their position. and that can lead to citizen i disenfranchisement from the electoral process. so and for that reason i don't think elections will necessarily be a good tool for political settlement because they haven't historically been. and i think the, the potential pathway really is the least from what i'm seeing and, but kind of a 0 sum game that's being played. all right now, is again, in

a kind of an external, international mediation process. i that could work out some of these kind of key political deadlock it, given that iraqis have been able to do number 10. thank you so much for talking to us about this. thank you for your inside shamira and michael from boston university . joining us there from boston on the news out, we appreciate your time. thank you for having a now the world news pakistan says it could take 5 years to rebuild after devastating floods. the unprecedented drains have killed more than a 1000 people since june, and the planning minister says that cause at least $10000000000.00 in damage. i found a balis wanting of food shortages because of how many crops have been loss. military helicopters have been deployed to help those stranded and remote areas. al jazeera has come on. hider is in the swat region of pakistan where he hasn't started driving and some of these remote regions. because the road networks are badly

affected, the bridges are gone. the landslide have locked the road and there are hundreds of dollars. what they'll stock an upward swat. we've been seeing military helicopter going to and fro to bring those people out. many still remain in those areas. and also the situation downstream is getting was weird, ordered about 336000 guilty. and now it's now flying at north gera. and of course, the people that we spoke to read and was said to us that they said 4 times bigger than the 2010, the doctor, which affected almost $20000000.00 people are. we also saw that a 100 go for dare that been watched the way obliterated. there is no sign that there was indeed a hotel, in fact that the region gardens have brought big rock under the rock, have acted as grinder decimating everything in its bought over the years that

been able to evacuate. despite the fact that this happened late night at about 2 am at night however, the people were able to get out. now we are told that people have been cut off. they need to and they need food, they need medical supplies. and i've got the biggest challenge will be to start rebuilding the road and al jazeera zane, bizarre avi has more from the city of so cor, in seemed province in southern pakistan. we've just heard reports that the loss of human life is now estimated to be closer to 1100 people. but we hear accounts that suggest the death toll will end up being much higher. the countless number taken into people as well and help with this plate. we've been driving around the province and a common sighted people just on the side of the road with all of their belongings.

everything they own because of things like this flooded fields and flooded villages . now one thing to remember about send is 70 percent of economy depends on agriculture. agriculture is at the center of not only the economy, but the culture of these places. and this kind of thing has decimated problems this season and it's going to have problems going forward because replanting and renewing the economy will become a problem. and what we have seen here is that the, the british era levy use in water systems that regulate the flow of water that manage this agriculture. those have been a key part of pocket stones water management infrastructure for generations. and those are british colonial era bills. the worry now is that they won't be ready for what more it's about to come. now, pakistan's western baluchistan province is also under water with roads and bridges washed away by the floods. that's now speak to seek on the be venge. oh,

who is the co founder of the baluchistan? you faction committee? a campaign driven by young people to uplift, rule and vulnerable commit? communities is joining us from karachi. thank you very much for being with us sick, and they're telling 1st about the current situation in baluchistan. province and what people are experiencing right now. thank you for having me on the show. so baluchistan is the largest proven for the box on. it is almost half of the country's land, but the same time it is the most underdeveloped provence. if you look at the human development indicators, 7 out of 10 districts or from below just on all $51.00 districts from below just on . so it took us to fee of a different scale. it's pushing balanced on easily 12 years behind what, what it used to be, but she went to louis huge, thanks. dominic dollars, huge organization we just driven by young people. so lee is working extensively on the relief of parts of the program. we went on the field myself and our champions

were in the field just yesterday. many of us are on the on today as well. what we saw is harder effect. healthcare is nowhere to be seen. there's so many kids, so many people down with different diseases. malaria color, all other diseases. and there's nothing for the situation is very clear at the moment. yeah. they had been warnings i understand from, from the met office about, you know, this impending disaster these rains. what sort of free arrangement were made to deal with the floods? there hasn't been a lot of pre owned arrangement. unfortunately, our campaign be ways. see, we have been working extensively since maybe june women constantly highlighting this thing on social media. but unfortunately, even on inbox, funny media, this thing did not take the center stage why i didn't think about politics. i think they had more they had better things to do have been carrying for human life off

their lot just programs on their better things to do. i think they had taken a good heed of this thing before. busy if they were prepared, if they had a dependence, i've done some food supplies. this wouldn't have been this bad because people you have heard from people from coming up to the publisher and all been proven and from send. the thing has just moved to these provinces and, but just on, been since june made sure the whole of june the whole of july. and we are the end of august. people are suffering. we went to a place in colorado, which is the central in the central san, which is on the may not see the highway not are from the main ivy. and when we spoke to the people there, we weren't the 1st ones that were out there. how can an organization of such skill deliver how while the state cannot? i think it's just a matter of mismanagement, and i think they can do a lot better if they pull their resources and their minds together. so what are your current needs in, in baluchistan?

province, what do you need the most and what sort of support have you been getting for the federal government? if any, what resources are getting we have been getting a lot of support in terms of dense and food. i think the 2 things that are hard, we talked about one is the medical need and the other is the need of clean drinking water. we see that a lot of people are hauling in in these diseases and they're not getting adequate medical treatment. i think those the need of dollars maybe federal government can help us be starting medical gems organization. there multiple others working on grounds. they control wide human resource on the ground, big and identified those areas that are most hit and they need i think these 2 areas are some of the things that nobody's talking about. clean drinking water and inadequate medical supply. thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us about the situation in baluchistan. see, can there be sandra? joining us there from karachi? we appreciate your time. thank you. thank you for having us pop into my head on

this news. our, including a wide scope scene myanmar reveal new evidence about the military agent is clocked out. iran's president says his country's peaceful nuclear program will not be affected by israeli phrase. and later in sports, the pot that help this goal for secure $18000000.00. when of action from the season ending toward championship or ukraine says it's launched a counter offensive against russian forces in the south, including an effort to retake her san rush and miss sans reportedly hit a market in nova cock over in the care song region. the area is north of crimea and has access to both the black sea and the sea of ourselves. this comes as a team from the you and nuclear watchdog is on its way to inspect ukraine's zachary ship power. plant that speak to al jazeera theresa bowls in key for as terry. so

what more for us, are you hearing about this operation that began in the course on region? well, ukraine's operation on command. so he says that they have launched a series of attacks in southern part of the country. most precisely, they said that they carried out precise strikes in at least 3 different directions, including in the 50. so there's a lot of talk in the past week about the possibility of counter offensive launched by ukrainian forces to start trying to move back russian troops. in fact, president of the me to fill in the sky promised and have been telling the populations that the areas had been occupied by russia would be liberated in the next month when, when the war 1st began, russia started moving truck fit from crimea and taking the south of the country, but when they made it to the city of mc alive, the troops were repelled and they were forced back. and that's where they remained

in the city of kind of film that's currently on the russian occupation. the initial plan was to take over the southern part of the country, including the russian speaking a city or the sub. but that did not happen because the russian troops where the top so now there's not the pep talks about. there is a big counter offensive. ongoing ukrainian forces have been fighting with western weapons, the high profession, rocket launchers, known as that he might have been, have been provided by the united states army. now the big question is whether this counter offensive has begun, or if this is a one day offensive, and we'll have to see where the fleet, you know, the big question right now is whether ukraine has the manpower or the capacity and the weapons to start pushing russian troops out of the city they have taken. meanwhile, ter, theresa a team of i. e. inspectors its finally on its way to the reparation nuclear plant. what are we expecting from that?

well, we know that an i a, a team is on its way to ukraine. it's not clear yet when that visit will begin. we're hearing that it is likely to start on wednesday, but that needs to be conferred mostly because of the city is being held in a, in a secret. we don't know how they're going to make it there. and when exactly it's going to start mostly because of security concerns, you know, there's a frontline where they have to go and there's not a coordination that needs to happen before they actually make it their most suddenly there's lots of expectation about this visit and walk it will be able to achieve these are i o dean pills, men to protect the thyroid gland in case of a nuclear disaster. they're being distributed around the step what each region in ukraine close to europe's largest nuclear power plant. you are now, since our district is location within 50 kilometers range from the nuclear power plant in the area of possible radiation exposure, we distributing id and tablets to paypal,

mainly those under 40. it's happening as the un nuclear watchdog. the international atomic energy agency is about to inspect the support e t. a power plant. the facilities occupied by russia and the fighting nearby has intensified in the past few days ago. below the a team is due to assess any damage from the recent shelling. evaluate the conditions in which staff are working and determining the functionality of safety and security systems. people here at ukraine's state nuclear power company are waiting anxiously for the visit of the i. e. a. they're not wholly waiting to get news of what's happening inside the plant, but they're also hoping they'll be able to convince russia to withdraw from the area. russia says it is ukraine that's shelling the area in an attempt to re take control of the plant. ahead of ukraine, nuclear company made jeans,

told that 0. this is not the case. the rural cause, there olds which exist in the nuclear safety radiation safety and physical to their nuclear and they broke evidence. and if normal mission is cummins normal, next step will go and sales is evidence zone result from this mission. so just get away from here. there's also concern about the safety of ukrainian technicians working inside the plant about 200100 people right now. they are captured by russians and actually treated badly in this facility is actually captured before in the town or whatnot. and the creative reason that a prism from them, they don't know what happened with some people even for the don't know anything about them for, for 3 months, for example, already for now. fighting goes on in the southern and eastern ukraine, as forces from the 2 sides try to gain control of vital cities across the front

line. but at the moment, or live or on the i. e, a visit. and what it can achieve. that is, i will, i was a seat at q. meanwhile, e u energy ministers are due to meet next month to discuss soaring prices. europe has been struggling with huge energy price increases as it tries to curb imports of russian gas and oil lead. speak to natasha butler, corresponded in paris. natasha. ah, the czech republic has gone for an emergency meeting on energy on september 9th. what are the reasons for this? well, the check republic currently holds the rotating presidency of the european union. and that is why they have called this emergency and meeting of energy ministers next week in brussels. they say it's absolutely essential that the you takes a look at ways that it can shield industry companies and people are from soaring

energy bills as a lot of concern of cross. oh, of course, across the block about how to try and shield people from the impact of these bills . we've all seen how these are, how energy costs are just going up and up consumers very concerned indeed. now what the check republic says is that it will be putting on the table a proposal in m. m as number of proposals, and among them will be a cap on gas prices that are used for electricity production. it's very important said the cheque industry minister when he was outlining some of these proposals a bit earlier that the you does take a block wide approach. he says that some countries going to be suffering or not more than others because of the impact of a drop in gas supplies, particularly from russia, and that as a blog, all 27 member states need to work together to try and navigate through this crisis . very much along the lines of an e wide approach that was taken during the covey pandemic. we've also heard,

i should add from the french prime minister elizabeth born. she was talking a bit earlier here in paris to company bosses or she has called on companies in france to try and reduce their energy consumption by 10 percent. these will be, this will be a voluntary basis. it won't be a mandatory basis, but the government says that it does reserve the right to put in a mandatory account in the future if the, if it is felt that it is needed. we heard formulas of us born again as we've been hearing from these leaders, that it will be a very difficult winter ahead for consumers and businesses in europe and asia. thank you for the natasha butler live in paris. get ahead on the news. our a choice of 2 very different candidates for resilient. find out why this presidential tv debate, god will tell you why israel. the government is now targeting palestinian textbooks

motives behind the systematic persecution after a hinge and me and my exiled on out is era with with lou ah,

ah, you're watching the news hour on al jazeera with me 40 back to bow a reminder of our top stories. this hour, at least 2 people have been killed during fighting with iraqi security forces. supporters of shiites leader knocked out all fodder stormed or the presidential pilots in baghdad. after he announced he would permit e withdraw from politics. pakistan says he could take 5 years to rebuild after devastating floods. the unprecedented grains of killed more than a 1000 people since june. binding minister says of calls at least $10000000000.00 in damage. and ukraine says his laundry counter, offensive against to russian forces in the south, including an effort to retake her saw. meanwhile, a team from the un nuclear watchdog is on his way to inspect these operations nuclear power plant, which is under russian control. now the launch of not as much anticipated autumn is

walk, it has been postponed because of technical problems. it would have been the agencies 1st major step towards a mand more mission in 50 years. but engineers at the kennedy space center in florida have encountered an issue with one of the agents. we don't launch until it's right. and in fact, they've got a problem with the gases going on the engine bleed on one engine. you can't go, you know, there are certain guidelines and i think it's just a luster of that. this is a very complicated machine, a very complicated system. and all those things have to work. and you don't want to light the candle until it's ready to go. well it's now speak to terry versus who's a retired nasa astronaut and former international space station commander is

joining us from houston in the us. thank you very much for being with us on algae 0 . so, i mean, this was a much anticipated launch, and i imagine that rocket launches are extremely difficult. what top and dear, and what do they need to do to fix things? well, there are several 100000 people. they're hoping to see it. and so there, there's a lot of folks that want this to go. it's such a complicated machine. it literally has millions of parts. they're using liquid hydrogen which is about minus $200.00 degrees celsius. it's very cold. and to get every engine just perfect as a tough problem. and so one of the valves didn't have a right amount of flow of the, of the hydrogen. and they're going to need to step back in the engineers will need to figure it out, which is, it's not unusual when 30 years of space shuttle launches. we had many, many slips for problems just like this, right? but even if the thought of the, the engine problems, the weather could still be a challenge, couldn't it? could we be looking at several weeks here? its florida. my 1st launch was february at 4 in the morning and we had to slip the

1st day because of some weather course. florida in september you've got hurricanes, which is a big concern. afternoon thunderstorms. so one of these days they're going to get all the valves are going to work and the weather will line up and hopefully it's the next launch window, which is september. second. ok, that's hope it works. then let's talk about big picture. i mean the costs 1st, it's quite extraordinary. a $100000000000.00, understand coastal $100000000.00 for the program is will be automates program. terry, we've, we've survived not going back to the moon for 56 years now. why do we need to go back now? well, that's a great point and this program is definitely over budget and over schedule, there's no doubt about that. of course are different people would dispute different figures. there's a lot of different ways to calculate government money, and that money is being spent on engineers and scientists. and so there's some, there's some good economic value, but at the end of the day, it is

a lot of money. and i think that nations that explore space or nations that look to the future, their nations that are developing technology, those engineers and scientists that learn at nasa can go on to other industries. for example, i was at nasa for 16 years. now i'm working in the energy industry on renewable energy using all the lessons i learned at nasa. so there's a lot of economic turnover and benefit that comes from the space industry to other industries. and there's also the inspiration factor by the competition. isn't it? with china it's absolutely about competition with china. china has its site set on being the dominant nation on earth, on earth and also in space. and it, it has a very different system than, than we do. it's very authoritarian. obviously they don't have to worry about elections. so they're, they're able to have their space program set and, and they, and a few men at the top make the decisions were as an america,

we have elections. and so it, in some ways it's a demonstration of, you know, which system is better. the authoritarian dictatorships are freedom and democracy that are little messy, but at the end of the day have freedom. right, well let's come back to, to autumn is itself the program. so autumn is $12.00, and $3.00, i believe. what do they all entail and what sort of timeline are we looking at here? the 1st mission is supposed to launch, hopefully on the 2nd of september, artemus one that's an unmanned mission. the it's a test. so they're going to take the main rocket and test that they're going to take the capsule and test that they're going to go into a very big orbit around the moon for something like a month, it's going to orbit for a long time. the big test point that they're going to be looking at is the heat shield. when it comes back to earth, it's going to be moving really, really, really fast. and so that of all the things are going to be testing and there's a lot that's going to be one to watch. artemus 2 will be basically

have 1st major at flushing meadows in 1999. serino spent a year out through injury and as i knew, recorded one victory since returning in june. when i joined by john was i'm who is in new york covering the tournament. he's from the tennis channel. so john, just give us a sense of the atmosphere that was found prepared to witness the end of an iconic career. yeah, we just got word that there will be a ceremony win or lose per serene williams. and i think everyone's trying to balance how much of this is about a celebration about acknowledging one of the absolute type of support, not just that this board and how much of it is he to? serena williams realistically have a chance to to do some damage at the tournament of a player. i don't think she, unfortunately, she's going to win her 24th major at this event. but i think you can win a few matches, in which case it will be a lot different than just sort of a monday night send off. and you've covered serena's career from day one to tell us

about your interactions with her over the is yeah, i mean, i think you've come a long way. i think tennis will come a long way. i think this is really a happy story. so often in sports with a boy, we never appreciated that athlete. what while here to where they are, that's not the case here. and i mean you, you that 1999. you just sort of stop and think it was 23 years ago. the 1st one, the title, she was 17 years old and she's evolved to lock in some ways you can very recognizable from that teenager that won the title in some ways. she's a completely different person, as you know, as we all are. and don't let me try this scenario. i. e, 42 year old venus williams. also retiring at the us open. any chance? it's funny because be this is, serena agreed to play doubles and it's a wonderful boon for the fans. it's great that if and back to serena's the last event, you play with her sister and then we will wait a 2nd. she's actually,

she's an older sister who is still an active player in some ways it would be very fitting if venus and serena walked off stage together. and on the other hand, there are different places in their life. there are different places in their career. and ironically, i think bean, if the older sister 42 probably will will keep playing. i suspect that's focus on the men loud. no talk of it. no federal. you expecting an adult med with a final i think the dollars probably the favorite, the dollars not last and a major this year. and also one the us open the last time he played, which is 2019 didn't play at the last 2 years. i think amends bill is awfully wide open, but boy what an opportunity for a dollar. remember that, but you say the defending champion, he's only 11. turn him and since then he's the top seat. he's right. number one, but i'm not sure that really reflects his place in the store right now. i think there's a real chance the doll at this age 36 could win 3 of the 4 majors in 2022. that you

talk concerned about in a 1000 injuries that's. that's the concern and he get, you'll recall that he could not complete wimbledon. he's only played one match since then. this was an abdominal injuries and like one medicine that was a beach, but i just think if he couldn't compete, he wouldn't have entered. and the fact that he has taken a good side. and i also think that just over best of 5 matches, he's just so tough to beat, even if he's only surveying at 80 percent or so because of the injury. i think he has a real opportunity to add a 24th major to his to his hall. but what about i have a 1st time grand slam champion. he thinks most likely if we have a 1st timer, i suspect it might be carlos al carouse. who's the terrific young player from spain? a teenager who had a terrific burst, happily res cooled off a little bit of fits upon. there's another player i would, i would keep an eye on who has been to the final who the french open, and he thank you, the top 5 action player, but as not one is 1st major did,

this could be a turn of when we have a 1st time we're done with that. thank you very much for your time. we'll let you go and enjoy watching serena a little bit later. thank you for president johnny and fantine says security will be very tight that guitars wildcard later this year, 2000000 people are expected to attend, but will be global tournament, which kicks off on the 20th of november and is centered around the capital. doha, speaking on a visit to costa rica, in fact, tina said, funds from all over the world are welcome, but only if they behave least us. we're going to be ready with all the teeming cattle so that everybody can enjoy it. all the fans from all over the world. welcome to celebrates. they're welcome to have a party to watch matches. if somebody wants to come to create fight, so something of course they're not welcome. and we're going to be very straight. now get ready for a pot that was $18000000.00 as rory macro became the 1st 3 thought went out of golf . fedex cup the northern irishman, started to find around the 2 champions. it shipped 6 shots behind the leader was
