ah, the son, hello boat is a mechanical or even that self driving train the apple. but android today can be really humanoid robots, like me, will be everywhere. al jazeera documentaries. the lead on the weird and wonderful world robots that learn, think and even trust. i feel like i'm alive, but i know i in the machine origins of the owner. we don't simply focus on the politics of the conflict. it's the human suffering that we report on. we brave bullet bomb and we always include the views from all sites. ah ah hello there, i'm laura kyle,

this is the news our live from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes. russia says it has intercepted drones, talks in the kremlin and point the finger to crane a school shooting and serbia's cap so kills 9 people. a teenage suspects is under arrest. more violence in sir don's capsule caught to him despite choose an extension of a cease fire for another week. and police and brazil, raid the home of former present jebel scenario as part of an investigation into falsifying cove. it records been support, it's been reported, laid out. bessy will leave her research about at the end of the season, it follows the suspects of bar the club or the an unauthorized trip to saudi arabia . ah, we thought this news i was some breaking news out of the u. s. the federal reserve

has just raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 5.25 percent. this is the 10 consecutive time that the federal reserve has height rates in a bid to combat inflation. a shot rise and res trigger a crisis of confidence in the u. s. financial system with 3 banks collapsing will be bringing more on this story just in a little later. this news, our russia says it has stopped in the fascination attempt on president vladimir putin. moscow has to drones, we use in the tack on the presidential residence in the kremlin. national authorities say ukraine was behind it. ukrainian government has strongly denied those allegations. journal reports. this is what the criminal says was an attempt on the life of vladimir putin. an object is intercepted by air defenses. russia says it was a drone. one of 2 that official say were launched by ukraine in an old daisha

attack aimed at the criminal complex. to unmanned aerial vehicles were aimed at the kremlin. an official statement reads as a result of timely actions taken by the military and special services with the use of radar warfare systems. the devices were put out of action. we regard these actions as a planned terrorist act and an attempt on the president's life. president putin is not thought to have been in the kremlin at the time. the thinking appears to be that it was a dry run in the footage in front of the kremlin walls, it's evident that preparations are underway for victory day celebrations on may. the 9th, an event that putin plans to attend, ah, that may, 9th of 10 o'clock in the morning, which has to be in the red square of the sand to observe the picture day parade. and that's at the time of the day and year. oh, 9th of may 10 o'clock when butch's at dinner is well known way in advance. he

should be there. so and it's a said the grim one said that this alleged drone attack was a dry run of preparation for may. the 9th, when butch and will be one robbie because his whereabouts are known in advance. it is a theory that not everyone is convinced about. i've seen the reports, i can't her in any way validate them. we simply, we simply don't know. i'm 2nd, i would take anything coming out of the kremlin with a very large shaker salt. so let's see. on a visit to finland, president zalinski denied ukraine's involvement. so we don't attack fortune or moscow. we fly to home on our territory. we're defending our real interesting cities. we don't have, you know, enough weapon for these yet even as air raid sirens

sounded in the ukrainian capital, the me a possibility that ukraine had struck a blow at the heart of rushing power was thrilling for some of my classmates. and i have been talking about this all day. it's very cool, i'm very joyful. it's lifted my spirits in its official statement. the kremlin said it reserves the right to take retaliatory measures where and when it sees fit. jonah hope al jazeera jealousy shop of oliver is following developments in moscow. president peyton was not in the kremlin at the time of the incident. russian officials immediately blamed ukraine for that time, and called it a plum acts of terror and an assassination attempt on presentation. we understand there are 2 video clips so that talk dad, now circulating the media. one of them shows the moment of shooting down the drone

and how was falling on the one of the crumbling buildings on the other. we can see how the dumb is burning. fast reactions are now coming in and we'll, we'll right ahead from midst of a load and they had of rushes low house of parliament to stay duma, as saying that they deem a deputies will demand the use of weapons that can stop and destroy the key of terrorist regime, and he added that that should be no negotiations with the landscape regime as it threatens the security of russia, europe, and the whole world shortly before the kremlin reported that talk moscow mess, you're gay, so be on in bonds. the launch of trends in the camp, so altogether and an exception was only, has only been made for us these used by the sources. and now we get to report that old trends have also been bonds in the mosque region and in st. petersburg as well . of course bonding, charles stratford is following reactions from cave. this message from the kremlin

is being perceived as being pretty ominous president zalinski saying we are defending our villages and our cities. we do not have enough weapons for this. we did not attack putin. this comes on the back of some of the statements that was made by one of his presidential advisors a couple of hours ago. mikhail pollock but all york saying that, so this is all predictable. he says that this is russia preparing for a large scale terrorist attack. first of all, ukraine wages and exclusively defensive wars of all jak and does not attack targets or territory in the russian federation. and this does not solve any military issue, but it gives grounds to the russian federation to justify its attacks on civilians . basically put all the ac is saying that this in his mind is a false flag attack. and of course, a false flag is something that is being fabricated to give, in this case, according to but all that russia, the pretext to attack. and we saw this kind of,

this kind of thing in the build up to the full scale invasion most specifically in the, the pro russia separatist held areas. the so called d n r. when the separatists claim that there been a number. ready of assassination attempts on their officials. and this was, as i say, only a few days before that full scale invasion. so the ukrainians obviously, staunchly denying this. but sir, the interpretation is, is that this is a very ominous sign from russia. are joining us out live from washington, d. c. steven rappe. he's a former here nice and pastor at large for war crimes. as she's heading the office of global criminal justice in the u. s. department of state. great to have you with us. what do you make of russia's claim that this was an assassination attempt on vladimir putin? well, it certainly doesn't look like the kind of weapon that you would use if you're trying to assassinate president the very hard target. and of course,

i wouldn't be chronic that we're attempt to do it, but i think be quite wise from the point of view of dangers of escalation. and that's why it points to russia potentially using this as an excuse to escalate. it's not that they haven't been attacking civilian infrastructure, attempting to kill president zelinski, doing all sorts of things against innocent people and ukraine from the, from the very beginning of their invasion. but this might justify further mobile ization further tightening of descent. and in russia further spreading of the drafter to larger and larger groups in order to reinforce their, their army. as they face the potential your granite counter offensive. i decided to go one step further and say that it might even have been a false flag attack to justify thought father attacks in the ukraine. would you buy in that narrative? well, we've seen a lot of foss flag attacks and a lot of an enormous amount of russian disinformation that like the kind of information we heard earlier about attempted assassination in the, in the,

in the don't apps occupied the area of ukraine that's under russia control. so russians are experts at this kind of thing and in terms of launching a drone and mosque out, that's a whole lot easier than it is. 400 miles or 600 kilometers away from ukrainian lines. you said it wouldn't be a crime war crime for ukraine to have north has thrown at that wouldn't be a war crime if they would take kelly targeting vladimir putin and an attack. well again, you know, there can be all sorts of different kinds of crimes under, under national law, but the crime war crimes involve the intentional attacks on civilians or, you know, military, you know, things that aren't military targets. and the commander in chief of other courses like general grees him, offered defense secretary showing group and they are legitimate military attacks.

they're part of the structure that's giving the orders to attack utilities and heat and life, and mandatory and infrastructure in, in ukraine, or to deport to children from, from, from ukraine into russia. i so it would not be a crime of war. on the other hand, you know, we obviously want to de escalate the situation. don't want more death and suffering . it's not that the russians can do a whole lot more than they're doing right now without crossing the nuclear firebreak. frank, and i don't think they will do that and chinese don't want them do it. so it is, however, something that the russians can use for propaganda value and it comes out on the top of line and still on, on may 9th and survives because after all there is no rush and false flag attack. at that point, it looks like a very brave man and, and bolsters some of what may be filtering support for him and his war effort in

russia. great to speak to thanks very much. taking the time to join us on algebra. steven rappe would be with you and these 17 people have been killed and dozens more winded in rush and artillery strike on the ukrainian city of cas on. they had one of the few room, a few working hyphen walk is in the city, partially destroying it. victims include the shop staff and customers tele, elsa murphy report from cuts on i to watch at the alarm table. she had a cabal, a landmark. we're outside the largest shopping mall in the heart, of course, on top of the venue would shout, and as a result, the entire building was damaged or thoroughly had the alco sophie had. here, you can see the impact on the ground. and there's also one of the many did bodies still lying around and we were told he was one of the work of man, she had a marcus ang, and pulled blood. so her eye is simply a lesson meal. so what i meant and several people were killed and a dozen injured and this attack, ukrainian,

or 30 say the russians are constantly shelling, major shopping centers, and residential communities in the city. and they also reported other fatalities on the front lines as russia intensifies its artillery muscle and rocket attacks along the eastern bank of the nitro river and curse on, which is now under rushes, control water level. we'll see a terminal smudges here. okay, so we've got plenty more than a had hair on this news, our including iran, to present venting syria. it's the 1st half of its kind and over a decade or them 2000 place called prisoners and miramar, a release following a sweeping crack down on december and install the lakers strike the 1st blow in their playoff series against golden state. that's coming up with roll ah, to the u. s. now where the search is on for a suspect, who opened fire at

a medical center in atlanta, georgia. it happened just a short while ago, and this is the scene at the moment. at least one person has been killed and 3 others were injured. please have a drive people in the area to stay in doors. and they look for the man whom they say is armed and dangerous. a 13 year old boy has been accused of opening fire in a school in the serbian capital belgrade. and these 28 children, one security guard were killed. the suspect is not expected to be charged because he's below the legal age to face trial. on gonzales reports from belgrade. a dreadful rate for news of loved ones. for some that the engine too much to bear. at 8 40 am an ordinary morning descendant in for something on thinkable m as shooting witnesses described. how 13 year old boy suddenly opened fire on students inside the hallway before entering his history

classroom, he shouted the teacher 1st, then turned the weapon on his classmates as they tried to flee, killing and wounding many in ducks out a bang out while i was walking up the stairs and i could hear a sound. i thought maybe were kids, frank firecrackers having fine was i could hear it more and the sound is coming from the front of the school. i saw the security guide falling to the ground, as i quickly ran from where i was a security guard. these also among the dead, the teacher left fighting for her life of your vehicles, sir. the will dealer, this tragedy occurred in the letters that i've written in primary school of recham used policy of the city of belgrade. unfortunately, 8 children died and want security guard was also killed while the injured children and one school teacher had been hospitalized. no one can bring these children back to their parents, as parents in the margins his services hurried to the elementary school in the serbian capital. the suspect was on the phone to the police,

confessing the shooting before being arrested in the schoolyard. described as quiet and good pupil and said to be new to the class, he was led away by police his face coverage. there is yet no known morty for an attack that the police said was carefully planned, always ushio of your species. this was the list of children, but he intended to kill. he did as a learn. he made the plan by himself. the plan of entering the school of exeter. it was found on his desk unless he said he determined the priority targets. the sketch looks like a video ago, not a horror movie. these sorts of things does not happen very often in serbia ever streaked the gallows apply. but in a region wrecked by war in the ninety's, i'll weapon easily hard to come by. like the one used on this occasion, the shattered apiece of a school day. orleans orridge, all dozier bell grades. here and under secretary general for humanitarian affairs, has travelled to suit. don martin griffiths was coordinating the 1st aid across the

country. may mall. there's been more violence in the capital cartoon despite get another sees far extension between jason b reports. this video puts to show fighters from the power military rapid support forces at the presidential palace in her 2. it's the office of the head of the army, general abdel fat albert hand. but the r s f says it's in control of this government building. this be more intense fighting in the capital is the 2 sides battle for control. that despite the announcement of an extension of a cease far for one week, after mediation efforts by south sedans, president salva care looting is still a problem in battery, in the northern part of har. tomb thieves have stolen clothes and textiles from every store at this market. the un says the deteriorating situation is making it difficult to deliver aid. it's humanitarian chief who visited ports who dance as security guarantees are needed. even with the fall,

we will still require agreements to the races to allow for movement sauce us. we will need to have agreement with the highest level and very publicly, and we wound delivers commerce until local interest, the company to present all the fighting and instability is pushing more families to flee. the capital. this boss of a vacuum ease is heading north to the eastern red sea coast along the way they passed through several check points. some are controlled by the army, others by the rapid support forces. another lot of you will people coming from cartoon who are escaping the war and trying to find safety and security arrive here under very difficult circumstances. some people who have passed through here don't have food, some, a sick, some of very old impulse sudan, navy ships commercial fairies and airplanes. shuttling people out of the country authority say around 13000 foreign nationals have left in recent weeks,

but more vacuum ease arrive. each day and the city is struggling to cope with another put on the account of what we read. a big problem of accommodation in the area sealants are currently living on the street. some families opened the houses to families, but for us youths, we've been staying in the mosques and we have been getting help with basic needs food and drink. despite the pool conditions, the influx into polizzi damn, will likely go on until the warring sides agree to a cease fire that holds victoria gates and be al jazeera of correspondent heaven morgan has worn out from cotton. oh, that's the sound of artillery being fired by the rapid support forces against sudanese army fighter jets that have been flying overhead around the vicinity of the presidential palace since the early hours of wednesday morning. now fierce battles have been ongoing between the hours of ambassador denise army, as the army looks like it's pushing to regain control of the presidential palace,

which has been under the control of the rapid support forces since part of the fighting 19 days ago. now the 2 sides are fighting out around the vicinity for denise fight teach at lunching as strikes and not just around the presidential palace, but also in other parts of her 2 parts like east mile, where residents there told ultra 0 that there were several abstracts launched again, suppose it r f f positions. now in the days leading up to this attack where it looks like the food in these army, this time to regain control of the presidential palace, there will also verify things in the city of battery in the northern parts of the capital. and that has been significant because battery overlooks the presidential palace and had heavy r s f presence. and it looks like the food in these army were trying to neutralize them or minimize their presence before they launch an attack to regain control of the presidential palace. the fighting has been going on now for 3 weeks and it has had a devastating humanitarian impact on those who are trapped in the capital. as well

as those who left the capital. millions still remain left behind. many of them saying that they can't leave their homes due to the ongoing fighting between the r s f. and this is denise army for dance officers. union says, 12000 people are at risk of death to life threatening diseases because of damages sustained to health facility facilities. here in the capital, hotel room and tens of thousands are out in the open in neighboring states or neighboring countries. please think dire humanitarian situations. the fighting now is go into its 4th week between the rapids support forces and denise army. there talks of yet another fire between the 2 sides, but on the ground people who are living it say that they can see the fight h as they can hear them. and that they can hear the artillery strikes by the rapid support for the. so any talks overseas fire, if it's not manifested on the ground, means nothing to them are joining if ally from port sudan is civil and gone. a careless she's mercy, called county director for su dawn, that good to have you with some people who've been fleeing their homes. many of the

mean flooding into ports to don. what's the situation the good evening laura. what so don is being used as a transit bind by a fact that families as they move to other locations which they consider safe resources in the city, have been stretched as the influx had not been predicted. it's very difficult for families to find accommodation to access water and sanitation facilities. we have seen people being outside the open and they're struggling to meet the immediate needs as base as they planned to move on to our destination. un smart in griffin, was that today trying to help with the coordination of aid, or what difficulties do you have in distributing the supplies that you have? well, as i said, this crisis was unforeseen and debility to deliver assistance. communities

is dependent on pre positioning on stocks. and key areas. unfortunately, port sudan did not have stocks that would allow agencies to deliver immediate assistance as soon as this crisis emerged. that has changed in the last couple of days and summaries so, so start to come in from other parts of the world. a couple of days ago, the i c r c was able to bring in some supplies. we are aware that the us system as well, has been able to bring in some supplies, to offer assistance to families, coming in support and aid workers that your staff included and working under incredibly difficult conditions. can you tell us what it's like to try to operate in this environment? it's extremely challenging to operate in this environment, primarily because our safety is not guaranteed. therefore, reaching communities hasn't been quite difficult. as an agency, we have restarted operations in south or so fun and good are of states which have

come so far. and our objective is to reach communities to, to forestall future crises by supporting the abilities of small hold farmers to prepare for the next agriculture or season to prevent wider food security crisis that might arise if the farming season is disrupted. we're also planning on the grounds to resume operations and other more fragile states, such as south dell for the fun and hard to mid. so when the situation becomes clear, so we are pre positioning to be able to deliver systems, what the situation the security situation allows us to do. so i think it's called the un, it's warning of the potential of a full blown catastrophe. waiting to happen. do you believe that that can be averted? we believe that a cessation of hostilities is needed and the creation of humanitarian corridors to allow him mandatory and agencies to deliver assistance to those who have been left

behind to allow those who are still trapped to access safer. locations, but the safety and security is a prerequisite and we require guarantee the safety and security all last populations that we through the creation of humanitarian corridor stable and got a kayla. thank you very much. taking the time to give us an idea of the situation that puts you down. thank you. i'll police and brazil have rated the home of for president jebel, scenario, federal police suspect a fake record to entered into public health systems said that he could travel to the us both my denies. the accusation for my mobile phone has been sees i have nothing to hide. not only about the vaccination card, i have nothing to hide about anything. it would be good if we had a democratic country where we could discuss all subjects. there are subjects that are forbidden to talk about in brazil, and one of them is about the vaccine us can live now. so monica? yeah. lucky of who's in the red diginero. want to tell us more about this

investigation. yes, well we're standing here in front of the police headquarters and real where 2 of the 6 people detained for questioning are one of them has already answered questioning. the other one is still here. what they're investigating is that somebody entered the health care system and change the data. so it would look as if president able so now on his 12 year old daughter had been vaccinated. now bill, so now today said he had never been vaccinated during the whole coven 19 pandemic. as a matter of fact, he was being criticized for down playing the virus and for are making unfounded claims, that the vaccine may not work. so what he's talking about, i wish this were democratic country where we could talk about the vaccine. that's what's being in, in question. his, the fact that as a president,

he delayed the vaccines and that contributed for the fact that brazil had the largest 2nd largest death toll in the world after the united states. so he's basically saying that he didn't forge any data, but somebody did. so that's why all these other people are being questioned and there had been cert, 16 searches, 10 of them here in rio de janeiro. yes, wilson are, is also in, is it a whole lot of trouble as me? what else is being investigated for well, just last month, he was question twice by the federal police on the 1st occasion because they're investigating irregularities committed when a 3 sets of expensive jewelry were brought in. they were given by the study rate in arabian government tubal, so not a while. he was president. the 2nd investigation is on his a legit role instigating the january 8th riots. that's when his quarters stormed into congress, the presidential palace and congress. he said he did not participate in that,

that he was in the united states at the time and that he condemned these violent attacks. and monica gonna give thanks very much for joining us from regina. and now wrong president is in damascus for the 1st official visit by enron in lead us since the syrian war began in 2011. iran and russia have provided crucial military and economic support to syrian president bashar the fad which helps. and we gain control of much of the country, abraham, racy and a science have signed a deal covering industries, but just oil ation and agriculture. also, jabari is inter on with moral rights who visit the iranian president has, according to his age, who were with him during this meeting with the syrian president have signed at least 15 documents covering a number of lucrative economic agreements between the 2 countries. one of the main

ensure that in the long run, the system will protect us from all these chaotic and harmful situation to arise again. district council elections during those protests, sore, a record of voter turnout and land slide victories for pro democracy candidates. critics of the new election rules say that designs to marginalize public participation next time around, it is about control and it indicates that the government doesn't trust the people of hong kong. they don't trust the people as hong kong to do the right thing. they don't give them an opportunity to voice out their views, yet these district counsellors councils are supposed to be allowing the government to gauge public opinion. there are reasons to be happy everywhere you go and hong kong. the changes come as all thirties are aggressively promoting hong kong as

a tourism and investment hub. the government is spending millions of dollars on campaigns from free flights for visitors to discounted movie tickets for residents . all in a bid to improve the public mood and help the economy recover from the link, the code 19 restrictions. the campaigns are attracting a lot of attention, but so 2 of the amendments to the election laws, that's prompting concern. it'll be hong kong politics rather than publicity campaigns that seal it's international standing, which is kimber. al jazeera hong kong. let's get more now on our top story. the u. s. federal reserve raising interest rates from 5 to 5.25 percent. this is a 10 consecutive rate hike and the move comes as washington try to offend off rise in the cost of living and growing concerns of an impending global recession. shepherd tansy correspondent in washington, d. c is following events for us and she have got the federal was

a jury empower speaking to the media at the moment what he's been saying about this latest hike and it was this preston ford that everyone was watching even though, but about that number, the increase of point 25 percent came up just just under an hour ago, whatever i was looking for was whether this is going to be, it's whether there's going to be a pause now for a little while and the feds determines what to do next. and the indications, at least certainly do seem to be that there will be a pause drone power tools in, you know, i mean, you have to use a set amount of criminal knowledge. as often as the case the fed and certainly in the state wasn't even a company that the rate increase just under an hour ago. there was a lot of chatter about the use of language that, that instead of saying advantages repeated more federal, more interest rate rises, they said that they would determine whether more interest rates would be necessary

. and so a journalist in the pressed over just that off point blank. so is that going to be a pause? why did you say to try? instead of anticipate and drawing power said what we had thought he might say well, but in his own way, where he said no decision has been made on a pause. but, but he said the removal of the language of anticipates was quote, a meaningful change. and that's the best you can do with these guys. i'm recess of the case. i like your rights to be focusing on the change of language. it's going from anticipate small tightening to the way we'll look at the data. and these decisions we made on a meeting by meeting basis as to whether more tightening, more interest rate rises will be necessary. so it looks like we've got that very big clue from power while keeping his options open as the always wants to do that. this looks like maybe a pool is in the interest rates, rights rises for the moments, but no decision has been made. ok,

she have many thanks for trying to fill that up for us. if you have a tendency from washington d. c. now astronomers in the us at caltech and mit have observed a star, swallowing its own planet. it happened a solar system some 12000 light years from our own. as the 1st observation of its kind telescopes that monitor the whole night sky caught the brief end of the 10000000000 year old staff life. it swelled, becoming a red giant and then and a bright flash that last for several days. it consumed one of its own planets believed to be similar in size to jupiter. ok, sir lloyd day is a post doctoral fellow and astronomer at the massachusetts institute of technology . 2 inches from cambridge in massachusetts. it's great to have you with us. it really does sound like the most extraordinary and slight terrifying event. did you ever expect to see such a thing play out in real time?

yes. so you know, the sound of the planets, this type of stuff you read about it in high school books. so honestly, finding one of these was really one of those, or you might know why it's the evidence for this long standing prediction. but if you look at the gas, you know, there are so many uncertainties about how many of these are what these might look like. so do you want to get all the notes and figured out that this is what you're seeing? but it seems to me, one of the explanations to explain why at the start right in the week. and did the whole process happen in the way you would have expected it to the way you learned about it in textbooks, because it took only a 100 days for this planet to be eaten as it were. and that seems like remarkably short amount of time. yes, you would want to ride the bus stop even shorter than that. so from what we

understand the probably be the launch into the star or a few days. what we see in the evening of the start. it said the effect of this huge amount of energy that is injected into the star and that means the star not going to this giant that all righty. and then it's slow it back into what it was. so a lot of this exercise, i mean, why did you start right as far as how to start, but the, we just did this huge amount of mass because of that land lunch and a. ringback know how to sort of begin showing doctors in the aftermath of even all of this, but, you know, this ought to be to the, so much more about what is actually going to happen. go, well, that's what i was going to come to next. what does it teachers about what's going to happen to us? yes. so what we can do all of that music that we've learned about, done it's been got from this one, the very beginning that these events look very much like events where you have

stars much of the stars, and this is the same phenomenon. so from what is it like today, which was about $700.00 times more about it. so when i got from the where you will see this actually i was from the sun, but it will be much more fun in that because the i got it. so, you know, if you, i was a and then slowly peter way back to what it was a compared to what, how bright, the sun we had that at. that's a fast they think chatting too. thanks so much taking the time. it's any tend to put everything a little bit into perspective here on a day. thanks very much. still has head on al jazeera and the cities top gold score looks for a record and a chance to return his teens, the top of the premier. indeed that's coming up with

a hole in sport. ah ah. with

a pool. ah ah, let's get your the sport now and here's one hope you're up. betty far exceeds there'll be widely reported that little bessy will leave perry sounds you about what is called fact aids at the end of the season, the argentina walk hot weather has been suspended for 2 weeks by the defending fred's champions. having traveled to the arrive, yes. without their permission this week, bessie is i tours of ambassador for saudi arabia hill this past season next to games and he won't be allowed to try and won't get paid during the suspension. will

bessie's trip followed? this club surprised. $31.00 last to lorio on sunday, leaving them with a 5 foot lead. i've a ball sigh with 5 guides left in the season pierced ye fads of splits on whether the club was right to suspend. the 7th hard battled all winter. as he'd only gather those who, if within the framework of his contract is not respected, but he was supposed to do, i find that quite normal. leo. missy is the greatest player of all time. with that he should sit an example to the other people who are under contract into the club and also to the fans. the fans wanted piece g to have a great season, a beautiful season, which was not done. so there again, it's a lack of respect towards all these fans and i spoke in my opinion, it's really alpha because sexually messy. it's a huge legend. they could flip a football player and therefore be, it's easy to make some exceptions for him. the club is right because also i watch the game, the last game against florian. so miss any of them play when he wants to leave?

that's why he live or without an agreement on go to so the other, maybe he will return to a bunch on on, on maybe he will go to play and said, you know, i don't know, but he's not happy here. but hey, make a bad decision. and they go by himself, he has to get the agreement from the club. the club is right. they must to do the though about he's got the same goal, scoring mentality as bessie is at holland, at least that's according to the bar to the city boss. pat, guardiola cardeana was bessie's coach at barcelona, where the argentinian school 73 goals in a single season. hollow b while can break the english premier league record on wednesday. he's on 34 goals and city kick off, i guess west habit a few minutes time. the goals rate is almost every game, no score, golden, and one or 2 bills every, every game had the chances to do it. by miss is the most complete player i have

ever seen in envisioning buses and rulings in, in their competition as in, in, in many things that is difficult for on hopefully hopefully headline for can be so close like little will be, will be great. tennis had carlos alcaraz continued his march towards back to back madrid, open titles. the well number to our top said madrid is it to the semi finals. after he saw the challenge of rushes, colored catalogs are cracked, managing to come back from to fight down. the 2nd set to it is straight set 6475. in our 2 year olds is also the code you are sorry, with chapters on 1. 19 successive atp told matches on spanish soil. before 100 meter world champion, tory bowie has died. at the age of 32. the american spencer was crowded well champion in 2017 and 13, and the pick battles at the rear games in 2016 was also part of their weapons for why 100 b to really save that were gold in the brazilian city. after the big shot down in
