6:01 pm
ah. on the whole, rather than you're watching the i did the renewal online, my headquarters here coming up in the next 60 minutes. schools and universities damaged across turkey and syria. we look at how millions of students are being impacted by last week. earthquakes. i made the distraction and displacement officials looking for ways to keep school open and students learning. i'm time i say them live from donna authorities clock down on building contract is across turkey. as anger grows over. why so many apartment blocks color also a trickles into syria day by day. but criticism remains over how glow health is getting to those who really need it. and it's for the financial future of manchester. united could be shaped in the next few hours. that seems american owners went
6:02 pm
through a bit by the club, by the end of friday. ah, in welcome to the news. we begin in southern turkey when 84000000 children in quake. the quick affected areas facing major disruption to their education. schools and universities remain closed, many have been damaged while others have been turned into shelters. the u. n. is appealing for $1000000000.02 pay for aid that's needed immediately, inter kia. it's also trying to establish temporary learning centers. it says it's also wanting to try and get full $100000000.00 for those affected areas in syria. earthquake struck in the middle of winter. hundreds of thousands of people don't have shelter, sued water heaters or even medical help. inter kia about $47000.00 buildings have been destroyed or damaged, including schools and hospitals,
6:03 pm
dozens of building contractors and now under investigation. but we have teams of correspondence covering the disaster across the impacted regions in the southeast of turkey, as well as northwestern syria. so 1st let's head to correspondence. i'm down who's in a, donna semi over here. so what is going on here with education is just a microcosm, and it is the big picture. let me give you some facts straight off the bat. this is what's happening if you're studying in schools right now. you all being told, nationally, you're going to have your mid terms extended. if you're in the earthquake zone being told to hang on, you'll get further information by march the 1st. but in the meantime, if you're outside of the earthquakes, and if you've got relatives, if you can move, you have moved, you can enroll your kids in other schools. and the looking, the officials are looking for creative ways to keep the educational process going
6:04 pm
on, such as moving university students to more online studying why? well, let me explain why that building behind me is a microcosm of what's happening in the neighborhood. that building is, has collapse the, the front part of it. but at the same time, those residents have to be moved somewhere else. where are they moving them further to? what is your screen right? there is a school that has been turned into housing for these people to, to live in as they move into the schools. of course that brings the question of, okay, what happens to the school? how does it continue to provide education? all of this stuff very much internally as i'm talking actually to you right now. the seems to be getting word from the producer seems to be activity on cameron's gonna hate me for this job. can we walk down the street some activity going on down
6:05 pm
the street here? and this might be the best way to tell the story of how schooling, education, i'm sorry, is all into link. let's take you to this building and housing and the earthquake. all of this is one inseparable whole piece and it's very difficult to separate this to, you know, to think in a sort of systematic way. the ok i, i'll take care of the shelter and then i'll deal with the school. you can't deal with it like this because look at this situation that's happening here. okay, very 10 situations. people people are little bit 10. might want to keep a little bit. draw just so we don't provoke people. people are very 10, but what stuff basically going on here is people are trying to get their goods come a little bit back to all the trying to get a good slave. if we come down from,
6:06 pm
we come down here trying to get the stuff out of the buildings that have been damaged. okay. because some of these buildings all set for demolition and people people, one day stuff, some of these buildings are about 3 demolish. they want their stuff, the earthquake damage is severe and some of these buildings need to be off of this and is where it wants to grab his furniture there. and at the same time, these people standing round here, the residence they're being housed in a school over there. so you can see how all the layers of this crisis are going on simultaneously. there's no breaks. if you're an official, you have to think about all of these faxes at the same time. if you're a victim, you've got to deal with all of these factors. at the same time, it's very difficult to try and say, you know, we'll just sold our housing 1st,
6:07 pm
just thought, and then we'll think about the schooling. the minute that you saw town housing, you've impacted schooling. and you've got to think about how you can keep school and going. i think all we being told to move off. ok, maybe. maybe we'll, let's take a step back because we don't want to get things. we don't want to provoke any situation. might be a good time, but yeah, basically this tells us, i think this picture really sums up the proximity between earthquake damage, housing and your furniture. and over there, where you're going to live the school and solving all of that out is a very difficult situation. this is how difficult it is here in turkey. you can imagine how much more complex and complicated the situation is in syria, a war torn country. we've seen people that complaining for a while since it's quite because they're not getting
6:08 pm
a well aid is international aid is now trickling into syria. they've had another few border crossings reopen, it's being handed out at a make shift camp and rebels held areas in the province of alaska and todd communities of course, were forced to leave their homes like to it's an emergency teens of criticize the slow response to the disaster museum lower since day one. our teams have been keener responding to help people, especially in the displacement camps that were created quickly to shelter them. we've distributed a number of aid kits. we've also made sure to provide water and items for sanitation and hygiene. we can now go to the secretary general of the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies. the gun shop again. good to have you with us. first of all, tell us how many people in syria tonight are completely without homes
6:09 pm
up. thank you for having me. i just it on from celia the that the situation and cda is extremely complex in the sense that the upgrade has been a, a disaster on top of a existing disaster. i visited a look at a poor and be under surrounding idiots and of course use you witness the distractions from the conflict of last 12 years. and now you have the, the, the off quick on top of that. so it's quite difficult to distinguish the, what is the destruction caused by the war and what the destruction caused by the upgrade. and many of the building surrounding a lip, or city where of course, already already destroyed. and what we saw was number of people and also now moving out of her label, going to be the neighboring area. so right now it's been extremely difficult to assess the exact number of people that, that,
6:10 pm
that need to support. but this would be in hundreds of thousands and that's, that's for sure. so some of the assessments are going on. and what i also weakness these, of course, some international assistance, either trickling in, but no hair enough. what is what is needed? a few days ago we heard un officials warning 900000 people need hot meals across syria and took care doing all those people now getting the hot meals they need the and the huckman program is really going on in tortilla. i saw it myself under the daily that around 7500000 hot meal, south. sure. and the turkish of crescent. these the maids at oregon i distance the hot one hot, mealy salt under the coordination of his ally. and because july,
6:11 pm
ease alone, starving more than 30000000 hot mean a day. that's the situation in turkey. but in seedier, this is not, it's organized that have been some assistance trickling in. as i said earlier, that's mostly been done on food items are b, but this isn't had been taken not to provide the pence in the, in the country. so a lot of the people are still leaving with the relatives are with the, with the, with the family members outside of the oswick effective areas. so that the situation in seedier, in that sense is much more complex. and the 8th is not arriving at the level it requires i've spoken to sol says within syria who have sent me evidence have sent me videos of areas in science, syria where they said. busy the communities say,
6:12 pm
we haven't received any aid, any international aid has reached us, was holding back international aid. is it simply terrain and logistics, or is it politics? i think the, the, i will not be surprised if certain pos of syria is not receiving aid because the amount of editing the country is simply not enough compared to the need in the, in the, in the contract. and of course, bob, but the cross line operation is not functional. that had been of course, it is no cross border opening that happened 2 days ago. and there had been some, some assistance moving into not with syria, from the, from the new opening. a but it is no had enough. what is what is needed? so of whether we call it politics or we call it something else the, the packet of the matter is, but enough, it is just not eating the country in a,
6:13 pm
in a, in a timely manner. so that's really the reason why a bay the many part of the country is not receiving it but, but i must say that it is trickling in. i witnessed almost the people to flight that landed in aleppo that are someplace landing in the musk us. and there have been someplace landing in bed with and b and the, and the goods had been transported across the border. but it's nowhere, no had enough. the 2nd aspect, the 2nd complication is because of these complexities of the destruction that was bare from the, from the conflict. and, and now the ot quick on top of that, the actual, but the infrastructure is much weaker there compared to what is bad in turkey. and one other thing i witness, they at ease, a massive lack of fear. there is simply not enough fuel available to run a proper a restaurant operations, including some of the ambulances. i'm not getting enough fuel, like including the ambulance, has run by that question. bad humans from
6:14 pm
a power cast, they don't have enough fuel to the fuel. is one of the reasons why running an efficient operation hasn't been possible in syria the. all right, thanks so much. yeah, gun shop again for talking to us. well, what's going on here with the displacement of people being moved into the schooling, institutions and infrastructure, the microcosm was happening across the country. as i said, vague explained this report from come on bosh amid the destruction in this city. this school is remarkably still standing. now there's no lessons going on here. that's because the government has suspended education until the 1st of march. now across the can, provinces is around 4000000 students and 200000 teachers are primary and secondary level. now the government says education will resume after the 1st of march, but that depends on the districts and school by school basis,
6:15 pm
because some of the buildings are damage, then they have to be inspected before students can be returned. now this building now is being used for major emergency relief efforts to help those that are left behind. so there is no one left to go to school. a lot of people have died, only a few people are left sherry, at least the schools are being used for a good purpose. our education has been suspended and it will badly affect us. but i am sure the state will do what's necessary for our g cation. they hadn't got food, water, blankets and clothes, but not only to the people that are left behind, but also the rescue workers, the relief workers, and the police who have been working tirelessly throughout this crisis now asked, rescue efforts begin to wind down. the government will be looking at how they can get vital humanitarian aid to those people left behind. and because the destruction is so vast and because so many buildings have been damaged there using schools like this one that are still standing. no education is taking place inside,
6:16 pm
but they're using it as a humana tarion hub. and that's what the government will be doing in terms of looking at buildings are still standing that they can use to get vital to monitor and 8 to those people that are left behind that don't have homes, are completely dependent upon the state and age organizations to get by i said vague. i'll just either carmen, rush, southern dorothea we can now join. yes me should. if she's the executive director of the organization, education can't wait. delighted to have you with us. first of all, let me ask you what sort of help is needed right now in order to get the education system's functioning into care and in syria. thank you very much. and as a result of this, vera devastating horrifying earthquake, both inter kia and syria and education cannot wait to unite nationals. global found focuses on syrian or we have seen. and the destruction and damage of c,
6:17 pm
$639.00 schools, and over $150.00 scores that still stands. they are being used as humanitarians, shelter, education and education institutions also serve as the, protects on mac, and his as human attire. shelter, provision of psychosocial services and trauma, counseling, and focusing focal point for school feeding at so it's important for us to quickly it's a const or reconstruct to rehabilitate the destruction of this sick son in the 3rd 9 schools and the education cannot wait in response to their you and flash appeal, calling for $39000000.00. it to syria. we have just released a $7000000.00 emergency grant and hoped at all other donaldsonville follow suit. i spoke earlier to a student here who reminded us he said, hey,
6:18 pm
it's not just what happens with the schools in the universities. it's not just even about the dorms. don't forget the launch a student population that will come to cities from rural areas. they're going to find problems now, coming to those cities where they're universities, all their schools are located because there's not enough housing available. the whatever is available. the rents might be in a very different ball park. now. how does one deal with that kind of challenge? well, everything is interrelated and that when you have in human a town response or you must not forget to bring in all so basic services and crisis, specific development approaches. so yes, ag or cash transfers will be imperative. in case there's a house or an increase in ranting housing. and of course then you also have organizations that quick any to get shelter on housing, up and running. but it's important to stress here that education per se,
6:19 pm
it needs to be part of the humanitarian response. given the multiplayer own said, asian plays, we must have forget that assyrian children, assyrian refugee, children have seen what 12 years and younger have seen nothing but violence for the past 12 years. and without an education, they cannot rebuild their lives, nor their lives, or of, of, of their society and, and that the country at large. so are investing in education now for protection, for shelter, for trauma, counseling, and empowering the teachers is absolute in import us. and that's why we are making this investment in response to the un flash uphill. i'm glad you mentioned syria. we're talking about education specifically in syria, though, with such a large population that's been displaced. can you really put together an education effort without taking care of some decent,
6:20 pm
suitable housing 1st. this is not the situation until care where the you know, the resources are a very different situation here and the government is able to mobilize and put people in temporary housing. right? absolutely correct. i mean, sir, he has seen a, an armed conflict for the pastor. 12 year and we have seen enormous ref a g and out for looks of educated and scaled people that would be required at this point in time. and so 2 days in a very different situation than turkey. this is not to say that the human suffering a turkey year is, is any less the earthquake has brought thousands of lives into an absolute catastrophe. but syria needs and holistic approach as every come to that suffered protracted conflict where it's how saying it's food, it's water, it's sanitation and, and,
6:21 pm
and all of that has to come together. what we are saying from education cannot wait . don't forget the local empowerment. that means that besides the immediate handouts and, and rehabilitation of how saying, we have to ensure that the population is, is empowered through a continued inclusive education, not to forget that syria, once upon a time, had universal education. so it's, it's a tragedy to see the direction that she has taken over the past years. tragedy within a tragedy. thank you so much. just me sherry for talking to us about it or i, well as you can see behind me, this building has been damaged and i think it really that scene of one dam is building surrounding my hours, some of which are standing and visibly,
6:22 pm
at least from the exterior look her look ok. that's raising a question that you hear again and again from people why this building in particular, that is a question is vernon smith found out there's prompting some people to blame the buildings themselves for the hi beth hall. in the 1st 10 to 15 seconds of the earthquake, the dozens of apartment buildings here collapsed. those inside had no chance. they were built before 1999. but here every one survived. they were billed after 1999. that was when an earlier quake into care prompted a strengthening of building regulations unit catch mars, a local architect, says 90 percent of the buildings that collapsed in carmel marsh, who were built before the new standards were introduced. whose gunners are mine is on their hurts to seal this destruction. but i am angry to this could easily have
6:23 pm
been avoided. i've lost family members. everyone's affected by this is been proved once again that what matters his science, mathematics will never fail. even with such a massive earthquake, only 2 percent of the new buildings collapsed. eunice is low rise, office is the style of building. he says he wanted to see built here. it's more integrated into the earth. he says so more able to withstand shaking and swaying. 3 years ago unison his colleagues held a meeting with officials to warn of the dangers of an earthquake. the chamber of architects urged the local council to evacuate all this area, demolish and rebuild again to new standards. but it would have meant up routing, thousands and thousands of people and hundreds of businesses there was never done. then the will, a tens of thousands of amnesty is given by the government to people who build new structures that failed to meet the latest standards. instead of fine was paid, which just in 2018 and the ministry of environment more than $4000000000.00.
6:24 pm
so, you know, with immense pain here g mail is, does she med, she says he's a building auditor. so many variables can affect the strength of a construction. he says right down to how a trainee build a mix is the concrete benign. and you can watch and take me to the bottom. if there is no one reason why a building collapses, it could have been the type of soil a fault in the construction plan or the engineering, the workmanship or something external. we have many buildings badly damaged by other falling buildings. there need to be technical inspections and only then can we take the steps necessary for a safe future. turkey as president reggie typo on says he wants the 1st new homes to be ready within a year. architects in this town, woman to be built to survive the next quite bernard smith. hodges era. caramel marsh. well, we've been going through the last few days, different areas here just showing the level of devastation and we should obviously
6:25 pm
point town. but while the operations, the rescue operations winding down, they still are ongoing. in some areas we've heard, people say, we've heard local officials in some areas say, you know, the search and rescue goes on till we find the last body. generally they are winding down though the shift is the focus is shifting towards other needs like education, but still amid these little, amidst the wide destructions. and they're all these little pockets of the exception to the rule. natasha of a name is live now for us from one such pocket in edison and natasha where you are represent speak fiction to the rule when it comes to buildings collapsing. were in the city of hers on, in her tie province, a province that has been devastated by the earthquake. 14000 people in the province have died. but here in urs on population, about 43000 people, not a single person died, not
6:26 pm
a single building collapsed. and we'll have my photographer ali, show you that on these apartment buildings i'm standing in front of. you can see the potted plants unmoved. lots of scenes, typical city scenes we're seeing in this town. in contrast to the devastated areas we've been in the last several days. the major sign of damage is this earth is this mosque in the city center. now there are a couple of factors contributing to the fact that the city fared rather well in the earthquake. the 1st off is where it is geographically situated. it is about a 119 kilometers away from the epicenter of the earthquake income and marsh. it is also a 40 kilometers to the west. there is a fault line, but in between the fault line, there is a mountain and expert say that that mountain has likely acted as a barrier in the city. also, the soil there is the city is at
6:27 pm
a higher sea level and there is bedrock buildings are being constructed on bedrock which are apparently better able to withstand the swaying motion of buildings that occurs during an earthquake. unlike a city say, such as an takia which has been levelled, which was built on the sand and clay, which is quite vulnerable. while the united nations is asking for $1000000000.00 in aid to try and help the victims of this earthquake, we can go to cynical lose. she reports now on how that ada. for this being coordinated from ankara, money is coming from international aid organizations and international institutions . as far as we know, for since yesterday, the un pledged 1000000000 dollars as a funding to help 5200000 people who have been, who are living in the earthquake, it's a rest. of course, there are some other fundings coming from friendly countries,
6:28 pm
along with your asian countries. nato is trying to help with accommodation, along with some to kiss a friend, the a friend, countries as well. but besides that, there is also domestic money donations forces 2 days ago to care did to care held a campaign donation campaign that was broadcasted some of tennessee on every national tv station, also and northern cyprus. and as i bridge on tv stations contributed to this, and billions of turkish theories were collected, people, regular citizens, bankers, businessman, everyone tried to contribute on this as all this money will be distribute to the earthquake at area and will distribute to the people of these areas through the national disaster management agency here in the call to prayer is
6:29 pm
actually out behind me. you may be able to hear that where we're standing behind us . one of the distractions on work holds for help for echoing and now further down the road. as we showed you earlier on, hold for assistance in moving people belonging are going on because there's another call the hang on these days from a little further to my right. for kids to get back into school. there's clearly a complicated, not only complicated situation, but a very inter related series of crises. now, i'll hand you back to doha. i bring you some of the days that he is now an old man have attacked the police headquarters in the southern boxes on the city of karachi, local media. and i was reporting a heavy exchange of gunfire between police and the attackers in
6:30 pm
a compound several explosions. of also been heard, let's get the very latest for marbach has been corresponding mile high to who's in the capital some about in the north at joins the on the phone. obviously it's a developing situation. come all what we know about what's going on in karachi. well, as you mentioned, there should be an ongoing situation. a night time the board indicated that about $6.00 to $7.00 and then to the cheaper lease keeps all weight. and after that the lights out, possibly because a major buy board inside the exchange of gunfire. stockades, the police then reinforcement said that the patent military pointed the manger and they have in that particular compound and
6:31 pm
a gun back to let continuing between the police. of course, the developing situation will come back to as we get more information. well, thanks very much for joining us from is some about the will lead to also meeting in germany to discuss global security policies. the main topic there at the munich security conference will be russia's invasion of ukraine. the conflict has led to a change in policies across europe, including commitments to increase weapon deliveries to keep up for the 1st time. russia and iran have not been invited to the summit, while ukraine's president of his landscape delivered a video message to the leaders at the conference, slaves to liberates ukraine and europe. because when the russian weapon should at us, it is already pointed at our neighbors. may europe be this subject of compromise? no, we have to liberate from rogers aggressive potential potential every international

6:33 pm
but he would like to see the delivery of weapons speeded up. much, much more. ukraine will stay the top issue, i think, during this years munich, security conference. but it's not just what discussed here in terms of a sort of talk fast. it's also active diplomacy that sometimes takes place on these occasions to the us delegation, represented by vice president common harris bought the u. s. a. could you say anthony, blinking is going to be here to as is the top for the policy official of china, y e, the state counsellor. when ye give it all attention over taiwan and more recently, over the chinese balloon shot down over north american space. there is the possibility of discussions between those 2, which of course is something to watch very closely. meanwhile, russian president vladimir putin has welcomed his bella, russian counterpart, alexander, look shanker in moscow. now they're discussing security threats, economic ties, and military cooperation. in recent months,

counting the calls on al jazeera turn dirty money into african go. the exclusive al jazeera investigation coming soon. ah, ah, look back here, what she over there is, these are with me. so rob, the reminder of all top stories, inter kia, the education of any $4000000.00 children, an earthquake affected areas is facing major disruption. schools and universities are closed with many damaged and others turned into shelters. armed men have attacked a police headquarters in the southern pakistani city of karachi. local media is
6:38 pm
reporting a heavy exchange of gunfire between police and the attackers who managed to enter the i will lead is amazing in germany to discuss global security policies. the main topic at the munich security conference is russia's invasion of ukraine conflict has seen a change in policies across europe. now, the agriculture industry has been haunted by supply chain problems. labor shortages and disruptions caused by russia's war in ukraine is resulted in high food prices and less profits. now, farmers and scientists are exploring ways on how to adapt to the changes. rob rentals reports not from to larry in california. tens of thousands of farm and non farming families alike, visit the ag expo every year to check out the latest farm technology trade information and line up to chow down on huge gut busting stakes sandwiches.
6:39 pm
farmers are accustomed to changes in weather and markets and prepare for them as best they can says. 3rd generation almond farmer aubrey bettencourt off of a popular farm pod caster and head of the almond alliance trade organization. that the end of the day, the farmers ultimate goal, is to provide a safe and healthy and reliable product to the consumer. that's what their goal and drive an entire mission and purposes. but some events come with little chance to prepare an event that most farmers could not have anticipated began just about a year ago when russia invaded ukraine. that instantly pushed up the price of fertilizer. russia is the world's largest supplier of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium fertilizer. with nearly one 3rd of all, world production, ukraine and bell roofs are also large scale producers almost 60 percent or more of the global supplies from that region. instantly the price of that product went up
6:40 pm
everywhere in the world, and it became the most expensive years farming anywhere in the united states. farmers of staple grains like we didn't core and also called maze, are heavily dependent on those fertilizers. and you look at corn and wheat, specifically the 2 categories have been hit the most by the russia, ukraine war. and those are even, you know, it's a perfect storm. those are more important fertilizers, 35 percent of the cash fossil producing those, the result higher food prices and less profit for farmers. so the farmer sometimes can't pass the costs on to the consumer. they have to eat the cost of that rise in the fertilizer cost. the agriculture industry and its scientific partners are usually quick to adapt to change whether it be new consumer demands, new technology or supply challenges. already scientists in california are working on trapping nitrogen for fertilizer, from earth's atmosphere itself, rob reynolds al jazeera to larry, california will conflict in some african countries has meant that millions of

the fault in the mystery surrounding who's gonna buy manchester united. nice amounts in a few hours on the financial future of manchester. now if it could be shaped by the end of today, the current owners won't receive bids to buy the club by 10 p m u k time. the glazer family announced that was interested in selling united last november. the americans bought the club in 2005 for less than a $1000000000.00. the looking to sell it for the $6000000000.00 to who could buy united british business french in ratcliffe. he's publicly expressed his interest, he's estimated to be worth more than $7000000000.00 on the chemical company. any else, a consortium of cats are investors. they're expected to make a bid as well at this stage any off as a non binding, giving the owners a good chance to gauge the level of interest and profit groups and saudi arabia could also be interested. the country's public investment fund already owns $0.18. you kathleen, i will say now from simon chadwick, professor of sports and politics on why the club has been put up for sale. united
6:54 pm
is now come to a pivotal moments. i think it's come to a pivotal moment for 2 reasons. the 1st one is it's very clear that the glazes and, and possibly u. s. private equity investors in general do not have the resources to be able to compete with the, the, the golf clubs and, and i'm thinking particularly here of manchester city, party signs a mile. but the 2nd thing is, is if united is going to grow it's revenues even further, it needs a new stadium. and so ask the glazes are going to take the club any further. they're going to have to make some very, very serious and significant investments in stadium infrastructure. but i also think in terms of investment in the playing squad. and so i think at this moment in time, it looks like they want to cash out various tremendous soft power. no interested in the premier league in manchester, united specifically. but what's really crucial as well, i think is, is to, is to focus on manchester. i think as a city,
6:55 pm
because as we seen through abu dhabi ownership of manchester city, the, the investors from the gulf region have really used the club as a means through which to embed themselves through economic and political factors within the city. and so. busy of urban renewal, a lot of residential accommodation has been built by the government which has got to that position through the football club. so i think we will see the same thing potentially if we've got saudi arabia or catherine owners at manchester, united. there will be a broader context possibly linked to local investment opportunities. and a key detail of this, i think, is, is the, the british government post bracks. it has just recently announced that the river that runs from, from the atlantic pass liverpool all the way to, to sulphur pretty much a month just united doorstep will become a freeport. so for those people who are familiar with, for example, that you bally free pool, did you buy?
6:56 pm
that's what the british government is essentially trying to create between liverpool of manchester. and so this, you know, potentially offer some interesting opportunities for, for golf investors because free ports bring with them economic and political advantages. we nights are involved in a thrilling game on thursday against barcelona, in the roper league. all the goals here coming in the 2nd half in spain, in the 1st like of this play of ty. excellent survey with the opener for barcelona . marcus, thanks and for continues. roger, this is his 22nd. go the season level, the game up. easily be running, cross their lead and go from houston road. united. couldn't hold on lead within you certainly hostile shop finding its way into the net to to the final school. the 2nd leg coming up at old trafford next thursday. a late go in austria gave abi salzburg, a one new atlanta, jeanette. hi. with joseph marino's,
