black sea green initiative. there's this rolling perception that i think is not correct, that restarting the b s g, i will immediately help african countries deal with their food security issues. can you help me understand why there's this confusion is a, the b s g. i more about making certain that global food prices aren't skyrocketing and helping to sustain ukraine's economy in the midst of a war. well 1st of course the of the effect on food prices is good for everyone. no matter where you are, even if you're not a direct recipient of the, the grain of the weight that's getting out of ukraine or that was getting out of ukraine into the blacks. the grand initiative, the fact that it was helping to keep prices low is good for everyone. in fact, since russia tore up the agreement, we've seen prices go up between 10 and 15 percent, and that hurts everyone, including throughout africa. but take a step back just for a 2nd. you know,

this initiative never should have been necessary in the 1st place. it was only necessary because russian invaded ukraine. and then having done that, blockaded sports, including odessa, where most of the grain most of the week was getting out. the agreement reached by the united nations by turkey actually allowed the grain to start flowing again. the result was that more than half of it was going to developing countries. 2 thirds of the we was going to developing countries, including many in africa. it was the equivalent of 18000000000 loaves of bread. now that's been taken off the market because russia decided to tear at the agreement. and since then, as i said, prices have gone up for everyone. and those countries that we're getting grain and, and we did particular from ukraine are getting it. and that's bad for everyone. the vision plan that you outlined that the human security council last week is a long term plan to help africans, right? trees develop their agricultural sector. what can the us and the west to do right

now to help countries that at the best of times have trouble providing enough food for their citizens? well, 2 things. first, the most immediate thing anyone could do would be to have, let them recruit and get back into the black sea grand initiative that would immediately have an impact on prices. and it would get more food product on the market, including for developing countries in africa. but having said that, when i was at the united nations last week, i also announced the additional $350000000.00 in food assistance to go directly to 11 african countries as well as the 80, since the russian aggression against ukraine, about a year and a half ago we, the united states have provided 14 and a half $1000000000.00 to strengthen the food security for countries around the world. but especially in africa, we've done an emergency response, which i know is critical. we're, by the way, we, the largest donor by far to the world food program. we provide 50 percent of his budget. by comparison, russian provides less than one percent of his budget. but we're focused on 2 things

. we're focused on doing everything we can to get countries, the emergency assistance they need. but also, as you said, to work at the same time on helping countries build their own sustainable productive capacity so that they're not victims again and again of um, everything from climate change to coven, to now conflict, all of which are disrupted the production of food and the supply of food, so we have major initiative, some of which i talked about at the united nations to help countries do that. it's heavily focused on africa, but i believe the capacity is extraordinary. the potential is extraordinary. the sustain focus that we're bringing, i think will bring results. but in the meantime, emergency assistance for countries that are being buffeted by by conflict is usually important. file thing is this. at the u. on last week, 91 countries signed onto a declaration saying that food should not be used as a weapon of war as russia's now doing a new crime. and speaking of crisis very quickly. so are the situation in the share will be us, say, this is now a cool so whatever you call it,

what we've seen is the disruption of the constitutional order a new share. and we like many countries throughout africa and notably equal loss, which brings together many countries. and in west africa is determined that um, the constitutional order, the reestablished, that's what everyone's focused on right now. so from our perspective for the united states, um i've been in close contact with president bassoon, with many leaders throughout africa. and everyone is working towards the same objective, the restoration of the constitutional order. there's plenty more head on this news . our, the philippines of summons, china's ambassador after accusing the chinese navy of firing water cannons in the south china sea. sherlock is government announced as an economic turnaround one year after defaulting on it's dead. animal, you know,

vessels endangered in violation of you money barrier and international law. in february, the philippines said the chinese navy pointed to military great laser filipino sailors, causing temporary blind is in the month following that incident. 2 sites had at least 2 other close calls, etc. the philippine coast guard says this is nothing new, but under president brandon and marcus junior, they're encouraged to publicize it. mark us, us, put it back to a more us friendly foreign policy, allowing us troops access to the country spaces. in sharp contrast with its predecessor would be good to turn this pro china stance. there is a spar from the 1st time the philippines as a choose, china progressing filipino vessels in the south china sea. government leaders in manila have already filed dozens of diplomatic protests against page in this year. nearly 450 says 2020 of the chinese coast gardens. this philippine vessels

the italian coast. it happened near the island of love to do the the 2 vessels departed from the tuition for the city of stacks on thursday. italian coast guards says it has recovered to bodies and rescue. dozens of people instantly is experiencing a surgeon migration with close to double the number of arrivals this year compared to last hold. i bill how made reports from land producer. the rescue operations have stopped because of high winds and it's rough. a seas is estimated at about 13 people are still missing and hopes to find their bodies are diminishing by the day . this weather conditions should continue for the next 2 days. now the number of illegal migrants who have reached italy so far this year is around $80000.00. that's more than the doubles and the number at the same time. last year. these are all vessels that have been confiscated by the italian coast guard. since april alone are you can see on board of them,

you have closed. you have live savers. a traces of people who were in dire conditions and were rescued. now prime minister, georgia, maloney had ran on a ticket to curb illegal migration. so far, it doesn't seem to work, even though she has diminished considerably the number of rescue boats that go out at sea to save these migrants. and she's also using the political track just 2 weeks ago, she had a migration conference in rome to which the, it's an asian president attended. and the 2 countries signed the memorandum of understanding by which italy would give around a $100000000.00 to tunisia. and then returned to egypt with curb the amount of departures from his tours towards southern italy. and would also use some of that money to re factory. a sub saharan africa's who had reached denisia, hoping to go further to europe. and how many of the realm producer and the u. k has

begun housing asylum seekers on a barge. it is part of the government's plan to reduce the cost of housing migrants as they wait for their claims to be processed. the plan is attractive controversy with some cooling it in humane. harry faucet reports to the 1st few of a planned $500.00 asylum seekers arriving on monday at the new accommodation, a ball jolting and south coast. the plan is attracted controversy and delay of a safety suitability in scale. 500 men represent a tiny fraction of the people a waiting and assigning decision. but the government says it's a necessary 1st step in stemming the numbers of people coming to the u. k. in small boats because of the crisis we have of the channel, we have to provide accommodation and we have to start spending $6000000.00 pounds a night of taxpayers, money on hotels, which to some extent on that curious what we need is more basic accommodation to stop the co factor, the prime ministers made it clear he wants to reduce that looks and we're doing

that around $50000.00 decide them see, cuz the car at the inn hotels at a cost, ideally $8000000.00 a day when the budge arrived in mid july, it was met with protests by those who see it as in humane and those who don't want them in the asylum sick because of a human beings. they need to be treated with decency costs and respect that human beings. the best card for in communities about is not the way to treat human beings . there's so many problems with housing, people in these conditions. so that's it. just, it just doesn't the best thinking about on the whole. have you so far failed to put my guns to run to receive so next government is on a mission to cut the number of small boats arriving in the u. k. maybe 4000 people across the channel in june. the fact that the baby stock home has 222 cabins, but it set the house 500 men could also be seen as a deterrent without present ships. but you're not locked up on board. you are free

to come and go. what the prime minister is saying is that he needs to find a way of stopping the boats. and a new law has just been passed, which will enable him to stop people claiming assault limits are coming from the sites the country. and so it's on the more quickly thing. there's a real message here, a to uh, would be migrants. and this obviously, cuz not to fall into the hands of the smuggling games, the main opposition label policy says it to would use bonds using the short term. well, criticizing the government for creating the problem by not processing asylum claims more quickly. the baby still could you said to operate initially for 18 months, which would take it past the next general election in which migration policy is set to be front and center. how are we suppose it? i'll just era. lizzie, dear, and is the home affairs editor of the independence, a british online newspaper. she joins us from london. lizzie, you've been on the barge. what's it like? yes. good evening. i am one of the journalist at the home office loud on to the

thoughts we went on the impulse, me when it was empty and we were under a guided tool allowed by the government itself. it was very small on the inside, as you will correspondence that there are more than $200.00 rooms, but the, sorry, smooth cabins. each one has at least one bunk bed for 2 people. some of them house up to 6 people. and when an f f, a reach has 500 people, it's going to feel extremely crowded in the use, the house or workers, is that right? yes, it did the, the opening company bibby initially specialized in projects full construction and all those things where people would be working in oil training or other businesses . what large amounts of work is needed to be away from land or away from populated areas for a long time. and when it was used for that purpose,

each person have their own room. and they were that on the, for quite a short time. the purpose that it's now being useful for the government is very different. ok, tricky question. critics look at this and they say that housing migraines on a barge in general, and this barge in particular is in humane. as we said earlier, as someone who has seen it from the inside and i understand this is inherently subjective. do you feel that criticism is fair? i think it really depends what happens when that on the box, what the government is saying is that effectively they weren't have to spend too long on that because that will be activities, places for them to go things for them to do, which will be the case and what's interesting is the people who look out and on the box will actually have a lot more to do than people who are currently housed in hotels. but the difficulty is going to be privacy. the people on the barge, if it ever reaches its full capacity,

will have none. they wouldn't have bedrooms if that i and they right and have spaces on that i and, and i did some calculations to show the space assigned to each person. is that to me, less than a call parking bye. so those are some extreme conditions. and whether the home office on the private contract is paying a large amount of money to organize this can actually do enough activities. and on 3 things, a kind of nice and, and engage people. if that outweighs, the reality of being in that tiny space remains to be seen. can asylum seekers choose not to go, not to be housed on the barge? and this is something that i need just finding out. now some of the assign them see because who was sent less is saying that being selected in days, lawyers and some of them manage to get the selected for the program off. and that's because of physical health conditions or mental health conditions that makes it

difficult for them. but if you don't have any of those conditions, if there is no reason that you can say, plastic keel in or that you cannot be housed on the barge at the moment, it seems like people have no power not to go. because the accommodation is offered by the british government on the basis the otherwise people would be homeless. and it's also don't what's called a no choice basis. which means effectively the government can decide whether that's in a hotel in a box in a minute, treat based. yeah, very administrative way of saying they have no choice of the the home office minister and we just heard her in the report said that the hotels that some migrants are currently housed in our quote for words, to some extent. luxurious. oh, are they luxurious? i guess it, it depends what you count as well. actually, the home office itself imposes minimum standards on hotels that says they have to be a minimum of 3 stalls. i'm not sure exactly why that is its properties to guarantee

a minimum standard across the board. but in reality, living there is not, not sure yes, because some people can be that some many months or many years on the assign them see, cause i've spoken to in that condition says that it, it means that it feels like a comp lives that lives properly. obviously it's fine for a short time, but without for the space, without your own home, without being able to co co spend time with your family in a normal way. it's not a way that anyone would choose to be living in that lives. and i'm sure the people in those hotels wouldn't describe it as an x ray. okay, that's a really useful context. lucy, dear and home affairs editor of the independent. thank you so much for joining us on the program. 5 people have been killed after 2 russian missiles hit a residential building in the city of across skin. the don't yet screeching of ukraine. authorities there a say the 1st strike killed 4 civilians and the 2nd killed in emergency official search and rescue operations are ongoing. 31 people have been injured

a year after sri lanka failed to pay its international debt. the government says the economy is on demand. this is with the help of a nearly 3000000000 dollar international monetary fund, bailout, restoring some confidence. but major economic reforms have left the poorest community struggling to survive. now fernandez reports from colombo, a monthly pre right, struggling to keep the home fires, burning electricity is being disconnected because she couldn't pay her bill which is increased in recent months without 0 met. last year, she was supplying food to a little co eatery. now cut that bone marrow gardening, god never can. i have to give up selling string helpless gas kerosene flour and the price is increase, so i couldn't manage. now i provide meals to some students who are lodging nearby. i'm managing with great difficulty. what can log into my make again?

most the slide is common among hundreds of thousands of she lumpkins, not just the poorest president drawn new vicar missing. hon is government say they have turned the economy around. the recovery plan has seen inflation, which piqued at 65 percent off the forwarding to single digits. for the 1st time since 2021. the policy has increased to 25 percent, and the large number of people have lost their jobs. the situation has been a challenge for those running the government social was that program. we just tried to cushion those was defected. when we come to having the last 5 years, you'll know that we had the a, a safety net program for the, for the input of people. when we are both one point in southern or to media. it. but the state because the application, the c o 3700000. i know the c things have been standardized. that one,

that is much more that needs to be done before sure long is on the road to recovery . if you have stop things, getting less at the speed there, but i but have the turned around. i think i'm gonna have to, we haven't yet turned around. because turning the corner would mean that we have stopped reducing i g d p. but up to the 2nd quarter of the c, a g d p kept contracting us. that means we also was losing job, seemed the economy model on my, despite the shop drop in inflation and interest rates, prices remain high. one year on the government says things are on the mend that are normal cues. inflation is full and, and what could i mention says have increased, but many people here are still struggling to living minute fernandez, audra 0, colombo,

the, your headlines on alpha 0. this, our for us state department has confirmed that washington is pulling more than a $100000000.00 in aid from new share. the us as it still seems a chance to en new here's who diplomatically, despite the military ignoring original ultimatum to restore the elected governments . 95 percent of voters and the central african republic of best and new constitutions that removes the to term limits for presidents. also the length of a presidential term will be extended from 5 to 7 years,

which will allow presidents plus the cost to a dera, stay in office a lot longer. at least 30 people are missing at cdl, too overcrowded migrant both st. coffee coast. eventually this happened here, the island of lump produced 2 vessels departed from the tuition for the city. of brazil is about to hosted to day summit about tackling the enormous challenge which ultimately affects all life on earth. how to protect the amazon rain forest and help stop climate change. the latest data shows a major reduction in the number of trees being cut, but as our latin america editor, lucy and newman reports from the amazon and state of par president, move at a silver face is a huge challenge to meet his goal of 0 deforestation by 2030, the environmental protection agency inspectors helicopter into a remote national park in the amazon state of florida with thousands of heads of cattle have been raised illegally there now being confiscated. but it's too late

for the rain forest, which has already been cleared. in the general mind me indigenous reserve, joyce government task force sweeps in destroy and legal mining assets. while in the city has been in inspectors, check out a lumber yards timber to ensure it comes from as legal source before being shipped to england next week. good, alex and i said that the sofa hits the environmental agency bama in the state of florida, which is the size of angola. pieces that under former president jade both. so nato illegal capital farmers and longer is operated freely. this formation is which will spot the ones that are available. so a lot of in the previous 4 years, we faced the opposition of the president himself. he joins social networks and criminals to part in to say that the bama couldn't police them. our agents were attacked and received death threats, but the tide has shifted. environmental protection on tuesdays are receiving more financial and political support from the new government. and it's making

a difference. satellite data shows a decrease of nearly 60 percent in deforestation compared to the same period last year. it's the lowest drop in 6 years, but still much higher than between 20082017. and it looks kind of look, this is where they've been starting to mock the area they will play. this was in may and a month later in june, all the treat you seem to pick area have been removed. that's equivalent to $750.00 . myra kind of football stadiums, brazil's new left wing government says it's committed to combat in climate change and reversing deforestation in the amazon. but it's easier said than done results. congress is controlled by because server to the opposition. in fact, the lower house has already passed a bill that would open up protected areas to commercial interest, such as oil mining and logging. should the senate pass that bill as well, then president luna?

that said was promised to reach 0 deforestation by the end of this decade, would be a move point. there's pressure from powerful sectors in the economy, as well as some local communities to fast track investment and development in the amazon. the issue is finding ways to do so without destroying it. to see and human al jazeera berlin. it does go to teresa bo, teresa, you're in san jose, that will be out in columbia. you're deep in the amazon rain forest show us what we're talking about here. where i am right now is in this type of control, which is what people at indigenous communities among them used to move around on the right in this area. the this is that what we had a river, it is a river that connects the columbia with countries like venezuela, brazil. this is what the amazon is all about, around 6.7 square kilometers off of rain forest of species. we were just

seeing some pink stalls, things swimming around as it was very, very difficult to film them because they were escaping away from us or other type of spacious monkeys cool gars and everything else we have seen while be here in the past few days. and that's why and way, when you see what's, what this place is all about is that massive destruction has been ongoing in places such as this one when this plays was filled with the left wing grid less until 2016 . and that's when there was a piece proof assigned. and when left, when the really started to lay down their weapons in this area, started massive deforestation started around this area. and president gustavo prepaid that will keep the 1st left wing precedent thing going on, get the environment for him. is that for you or the he's promising to put an end to deforestation to assist local communities to assist with the indigenous people that are leaving all around this area that have suffered massively because of that comes to think. and then also because of really gotten mining logging among other things,

paper is heading to berlin with a very it's a, with a very optimistic agenda. he's hoping to transform his nation. we're going to have whether he's able to carry this out. but in spite of the news of what's been going around, this gets here because of the deforestation. columbia has some positive news. they have managed to reduce wrong 30 percent of the deforestation going on in this country. we were going around all these serving this fox due days, and this is our report. this is the vast swap, yet it region columbia store to the amazon green forest. it was relatively safe from deforestation until 2016. but when the peace process with the left, his career less known as the fark was signed, the fire example, those are starting to multiply everywhere. it does that. so when we get into my georgia environmental already or what data says, things started to change last year. i'm comfortable with, there was a change in government and they said the environment is

a main priority. the possibility of changes in land laws and line distribution has generated expectations and are the routes of conflict. we travel to talk to those affected by war and we're trying to help fight deforestation which in the past year was reduced by nearly 30 percent. 50000 hector's of land was spared for the 1st time in years. the government of all that will fit there is trying to implement what is known as a told her piece plan with several of the armed groups that continue to operate in areas like this one in for. you'll notice right now, negotiating a peace agreement with a national liberation army. a guerrilla organization were for the 1st time. the environment is part of the agreement in an attempt to put an end to the destruction of columbia as forest even to a peace agreement was signed with bark rebels. dissident groups continue to control this area and in the town of thought to where they ordered people to gather to

discuss their contribution to the rebel group. the people here tell us the green, let's have bend all sorts of deforestation says, precedent ghost that will pay through to golf is in an attempt to secure a peace dialogue with the government, seeing if they come and tell us to not destroy and that we need to care for the environment. of course we are afraid there's also this mentality that if we don't stop destroying the forest at the 1st will destroy us for several years. different administrations have implemented productive. we conversion programs modification. yeah. and it is part of a group that makes pastries or other products with fluids, from the amazon get into casing it and we do not have the resources to a forest. but we are going to preserve many of those who cut down cheese do it because it's part of the livelihood. and that is what has started to change a. everyone here knows that piece and the small trans and reducing deforestation in the past year are fragile. they say the government and the international support

our crew show right now to make them left. but it's, i will, i just see that we had in columbia and what's a state car, places like this one, as i mentioned before with origin, biodiversity, with pink dollar, things that are swimming around here, president will, that will pay through his heading to berlin in prison. with a very ambitious agenda, he also has an emission agenda here in the country and we're going to have to see whether he's able to carry them out. he's facing a conflict in congress with the court holding coalition. his son is currently being investigated for money laundering. among many other things that have been ongoing since keeps will call face one year ago. so he's going to be difficult for, for him to pass many of this last time. that's not, you know, why she needs international support that's she's going to get in places like brazil right now with these 8 precedents that are going to be heading. they're going to try to put together a common agenda, a common costs for trying to protect places like this one theresa bo reporting from

san jose that it was yet a in columbia. thank you so much. the portuguese government's remote worker visa program is being criticized, contributing to the cost of living crisis. inflation has hit average workers hard, especially when it comes to housing. sonya yegell reports from lisbon it has just toasted the pope and continues to welcome many others. it's been a southern boom, and portugal is popularity as a place to settle down in. and it comes with a visa tax breaks and the pathway to gaining nationality in the european union country. some hey, from new zealand works as an event planner during the pandemic. he couldn't get back home, so he settled into this been and liked it so much. he obtained the digital lo, my visa, you're going to be sort of boutiques, bohemian kind of hips replaced,

is showing up as just made for a city, which is incredible. creative people amazing, straight out around the place. but there is one drawback. it's quite expensive to locate for light housing cost quite a lot. some time portugal as a cheap destination has been popular with retirees from northern european countries . looking to settle in a room, a climate, but now that a young, the digital savvy crowd is look into, it shows it's putting pressure on the system, especially the housing sector. added to this, the decision to host the catholic church swelled used to and event attended by 1500000 people. but at a time when rents are out stripping the average wage hall with the working population many and good, why? how much money the state put towards the visit itself? the total injection of public funds to host? well, do you stay cost $41000000.00? the cost of the stage alone was $3000000.00 and it was used for just 2 days. never

the less specific council says it was a worthwhile investment. and in the future it will be used to host major entertainment and sporting events. it's a way they say of promoting lisbon as a key international destination. there was little bows around areas outside of lisbon tourism zone. total is a clinical psychologist. his main, well back in the public sector does not pay enough to cover the rent. he sold his car, it has to work 3 other jobs at night to be able to afford to pay the bills. and i said, it's not enough. and if it's never enough conditions, i have 2 children to provide for. i get 1100 year old and nothing is left over. that's why i have to search for other words, other things. what i realize is that many people like me, what professionals were part of the upper middle class, to a shame to ask for help. the dream of a desirable lifestyle in portugal may only be available to those who can afford it

. not for those struggling to keep up with the challenges. so need i, jagow, i'll just 0. there's been at the south africa now and the increasingly violent transportation strike in cape town. at least 2 people have been killed and others injured during the week long walk outside drivers of mini bus taxi. so that's one of the main ways to get to work and to get around. generally, some vehicles have been set on fire and drivers say that they face heavy handed tactics by police and city authorities. the still ahead on alpha 0, the matilda is fans beat the drum at the women's world cup pita segment rounds up the action from the last 16 games that's coming up. the the

this tournament, in the now hate to, to play columbia or jamaica. i think this is long, as you said, this is going to be one of the hardest, well cooks anyone's game today. i think the results of proven not in the phone says, i think every to like the 30 days compete. and it's when i said it from the beginning it's anyone's told him, it's tight. so yeah, i think we're just very proud of ourselves for getting through and finish and to show the results of co host australia enjoyed a much more comfortable rights of the last days of to, to know when ever denmark out 0 is alex thomas was watching in sydney, a green and gold everywhere at stadium, australia a, spans beat, the drum for the beloved, but settled as to a week earlier. the host qualifying from the group at the expense of olympic champions, canada, and often even bigger, upset since then, australia starting to dream of world cup glory on home. so if it was

loud outside before the game, the noise inside was deafening. when mary fell, is worthy and lone paul sent caitlin for through to spoil the opening. gold frustrated with less than half an hour more than just the midway through the 2nd. huh. the materials would sing through denmark's defense once again a ras. so with the final touch to double believe a few minutes later, a standing ovation from the 75000 strong crowd, a super saw sam to took to the field for the 1st time. but this woke up hold of a straight. yeah, no doubt, smarting with the stadium, was built the golden moment. so, but serious thousands olympics australia still have some work to do before the top of the podium moments. but there's a growing sense of destiny about that. we'll comp campaign on 2 goals and a went over denmark plus the return of sam co is job very well done. i was really

happy for australia. it was, they had so many good techs, i think it was a really amazing like everyone was in the support of the go straight it go. very loud, boss, old. the biggest here. then i was one of the goals. yeah, the credible whole countries will get on the no, i think the real good the to these are gonna wind it. oh yeah. i think, well, that's really a nice way going to in the world top, but i think no one else believes it in the world so we can insure items and all i that we're on the way to winning never has the australian women's football team been. so visible sales who wins away from a world cup final in their own backyard, starting with a last 8 match. mix that today again, start the frogs older. ok. alex thomas. how does the era say me?

morocco looking to close. another upset this will cup of the forcing. they wait until the last 16 at the expense of germany, but can they get post the fringe? david stokes reports the momentum is with morocco joint killers at the world cup sofa. few would affect them to escape that group, especially after an opening 6 meal to feed to 2 ton champions gemini, the victories of the columbia and south korea. so germany knocked out, i'm a rock, i'd become the 1st arab and north african side to reach the knockout stage. crucial to enough jose. because there's a few of us that are by national and we know all the players. we've played friends on. we've spoken about this game, but the same way as the games against columbia or south korea. obviously this match is very special for us to rock whose men's team reach the semi finals that the cats are woke up last year. a 4th place finish,

and the heroes welcome back. home and robots of the women's team will be out to match the past about success and gain some revenge as well. it was friends who beat the men in the caps or semi finals for the whole know to low and i am going to be ideal. morocco's women make his very happy and they own of the morocco flag. we think them sorry about like and so for those who are in charge of stuff to come to the house, i'm from the women's team. i hope they do the same as the boys and hope they have a good match against phones. go my rocha and go the girls. as for the french that one of the favorites to win the trophy to wins in a drawer. so then took the groups and the coach by a friend not who used to manage the morocco men's team. the use of neil, the move by central knowledge. i have amazing memories from when i was in morocco and i have some amazing friends in morocco too. but now we need to focus on football. that's not even when we have a friendly match you need to win get with get so we're here to qualify it up also can you know, acceptance and they keep the ones on paper moral codes. one thing,

but then if you look at the teams that way, and they said that minutes of marco is a team was quite a team, and we would have to pay attention to that team with the departure at the 2 time defending champion, united states is there any offense the trophy is bad for the taking by france and morocco will fancy that chance is the only one can progress to the quarter finals. the game takes place in of late on choose day. debbie stokes out, is there a good power sandra? man, end up losing all 3 of it's still strong because in this current console window, you know, mostly has already gone to miami. keep you in a bump is features on susan, but they all reports in spain that the club is getting closer to an agreements for to answer to real madrid and the new headaches. a p. s. g, according to reports in front. is that name or has now told them he wants to leave? the brazilian, who as for years based on his contract is understood to be pushing for a return to boston loan of 31 year old play for the club,
