one of the last officers left in northern gauze on post desperation in mozambique after the devastation recycling chito movie line from the from to turn on piece of stem studio sports news in the old run the rubbish challenge. and ashwin announces these immediate for time and some international crickets, oliver full days of this new. so the welcome to the news. our more burial sites are being discovered across syria. 11 days after the fall of a shot and a subs. several bodies have been found at the say you, the zane of strain and damascus area was under the control of iranian backed groups . the, some of been job aid reports from the sites. what i cannot show you here is the stench that was certainly are coming from these bodies as such as bodies that are
9:02 pm
in fact it is, remains as in being told that this was a place which was controlled by iranian backgrounds. this was their headquarters. that's what people in the balconies have been telling us a and a 1st responder. therefore, this has been a number of bodies have been found some so old that they were just skeletons some which still had some parts intact. so it's a goose and seen. but in the grave of multiple bodies which have been found, some civilian called us in front of our football. it's like a middle web dismissed from him. it didn't say this today we came to this area and found this number over there by the skeleton. this is like a sort of a defense if you're still like a photo for this in a data from leap, i know from your dog, from u. n. a. but inside this store that was looked like for the dresser view of this. so the 20 yards side of this compound, which is right the adjacent to this,
9:03 pm
the, the a strain which was crucial area for all the propaganda that we were hearing from the iran back troops and munitions which came from all over the world to try and protect this area, these parts would probably be used as kitchens and some offices. we've seen some pos, credit papers, as well as the some signs of how this was being used by municipal. we have some slides, some digits, etc. so all of the atrocities the syrians have been telling us about which continue to happen here. under the watch of the soldiers, you are just being uncovered. some of them driving up to the, to semester on this, on the standing by for us and the syrian capital damascus, joining us from there. so we saw on your report more on identify bodies being discovered. what more have you learned about this of the students? it was defense, the white elements have been telling us that this country is now becoming a mass grave site,
9:04 pm
because this is now opening up after the more than 6 decades of the sides. aside from these rules so that they're beginning to find more and more of what the velocity is that the origin had been committed. these bodies will be now taken for dna testing and the mash with the there's people who are looking for the friends. it's worth noting that more than a 150000 people are believed to be missing in serious some monitors believe that it could be as many as 66 sites, tens of thousands of people, better than the named unmarked graves. and it just goes to show the level of vitality an atrocity that would be committed by this regime unchecked and away from the outside world. and this is why syrians have been telling us the data of solution was so important that there uprising had so much merit because all of a sudden people go missing and then for decades they would fine. no one's. so you'll be seeing these reports from presence. you've seen dungeons, you've seen those base sites on all across the,
9:05 pm
near the competing. they across syria and know more and more are being found. this particular one near say, the vein it was under the control of an on back troops. and we believe that so far, there's no did re apply to you on why these bodies would be kept there because they, they could have been use for some exchange. but still lots of unanswered questions as, as more and more of these sites come to the for and when it comes to this particular location, the, what can you tell us about it? and the significance of that's right. as you see, see that it's showing is a massive compound and that is in old graveyard adjacent to it. this was a sight which was right adjacent to it. red b. believe the addicted feeds from iran, including high ranking officials, would stay at this was in the area which was only under the control of iran back troops you in the city. and i mean, we were being told by residents was not allowed. they're seeing the advantage trying hose a significant place so far. she almost ends across the globe. many come here for
9:06 pm
the, for pre approval image and to pay their respects. and this is one of the pivot points which was being used to recruit fighters from all over the region as far as have gone to sun to bring them to protect these trains. because at this war, had a very sick tenure and page to it as running back forces came into the interplay assad. government said that they need to protect these important police sites. far . she almost as i guess to send him a sense of having to come in and run 2nd. and this is something which has not happened. and fighters who were there belonging to have. they found the group that is in charge of the country told us that these sites are holding for all of us that they're going to continue to protect them. and this is something that is coming from the administration has been that they want to assure people both inside the country and outside that this area under this new administration for the a cert. yeah. for all the syrians, regardless of their sex, religion or ethnicity. okay, thank you. it was summer been job have reported from damascus and syria was life
9:07 pm
returns to normal for many in syria. the united nations has expressed optimism for the countries future. human special envoy, garrett petterson is in damascus and says there is hope despite the challenges, we need the media to your minute there in the systems. but we also need to make sure it does seem to come to be a review that we can see. it cannot make recovery, and that'd be kind of hopefully see the beginning maybe start the process to en sanctions. as the country has taken a small step towards resuming commercial air traffic. the 1st domestic service, since the us of government was toppled, has flown from the capital damascus. so the 2nd largest city level international flights are still not operating a neighboring georgia and has reopened to vital border crossing with syria resuming the flow of goods and frank between the 2 countries. it's seen as an important step towards getting the syrian economy up and running again. israel's military has 4
9:08 pm
syrian villagers from their homes, as it extends the territory it occupies, and the goal on heights. israel has been moving its troops deeper into the demilitarized buffer zone since the fall of the servers in the u. n. says it's in violation of 1974, this engagements agreements between israel and syria. but the is really government has already approved a plan to encourage the expansion of settlements there. how much val reports from tonight at all on the occupied goal on heights in the village. if as often families take some to after being expelled from their homes by these lady ami. oh, what am i fucked up but somebody in a saw console, it was done when they rolled in with their tanks and bulldozers into our village. they fired on people in homes and terrorized the women and children. they gathered people in a school, detaining them for several hours. then an army general came and told them they have only half an hour to leave the village. but i carry anything with them,
9:09 pm
or homeless now on the slopes of mount to have them on, or somebody's chaise is in the buffers on the, on the occupied areas of are going on heights. but since the fall of a sudden i said these really honestly has pushed forward with, into this area insight seen from where i stand. so many of us designed to meet at teddy posts are only a few 100 meters in this direction. this is where the 1st started, the tax costing to city on november 8, up to now they have okay. fight 7 villages in the why the area including the one you see, right. the behind me, the village of how many do you, these are the um, you know, keep pies the headquarters of the government and how many did its taxes call or the coordinator come through site? did you poses an item because, you know, if i've had the support of body of us to be honest, we couldn't enjoy the full of the dictates of a shock because immediately on the following morning is really tags rolled into our streets of wood. you had says he's great to see a is to see
9:10 pm
a petition of 1967 when he's people. well, 1st from most of the going on heights beyond the annual solar gen the and is ready sold, you asked me in arabic. if i'm the village chief, i said, yes. he asked if he could come over. i said, for what purpose have you come here? this is outlined to which he replied, no, this is the land of israel. i said, no, your coming isn't occupied, but we're not going to move from here with the shadow fort. i live here too. i live here too. would you have says he has manatees topless a line of communication with the lady on a, you know, the, what did they say? this is for his people. but if the heart of the active any were upset with the new leaders for failing to be with us, we're told during the lip of hama, homes, and so on. we'll count the at least send someone to meet with us. they simply nowhere to be seen. look, the is really tank. so right here they're destroying the trees. if there's a coordination between them and out government, we're not aware of, it's not running out of, i'm not sure if no serious new leadership says it is not looking for new conflicts
9:11 pm
. it has called on the international community to intervene to issue a serious sovereignty. but without any city and forces here at us events, fee of what lies ahead for that area and its population. how much fun does 0 coordinate on the golan heights. ok, we have with us rob guy spin folder selector and peace and security are there. and university to talk about this will come back to algebra 0. so what do you think is behind israel's further occupation? and now expansion of the settlements and the occupied go on heights, or are we looking at a permanence occupation going forward? what i think what we're looking at is a case of the military basically responding to events in syria feeling like they don't have control of what's happening on the ground and, and expanding that territory, the territory they hold into the area that was previously the buffers. own and with israel suppress and mainstream media of public attention directed elsewhere. this
9:12 pm
is very much not coveted these regular media, by the way, i think what we're seeing is the military basically doing what the military does. establishing facts on the ground, taking areas that things would give it a tactical advantage and at any future come by or conflict, for example, which is why we're now seeing these ready to minutes or expand there. originally, they took around 250 square kilometers, that was the demilitarized zone. now they could have up to 450 square kilometers. always the reports are conflicting, but alongside those villages we're also hearing that these rating militaries expand that is control to the reservation. that the a what the diamond this is a strategic time, not just for syria, but it also supplies water to jordan. and so it seems like these ratings, this is a case of the military being left to determine facts on the ground while everyone else is distracted. but this could have very, very significant geopolitical ramifications like, like what? well, for example, at this is something that puts pressure on the jordanians. this thing that puts pressure on the syrians. i actually think al shower was very,
9:13 pm
very small. here when he came out and said that, you know, we're not looking for conflict with his route. he basically rolled the pool into the international communities. cool to say, we need help, we need action. we need you to help restraining constrain is ralph that hasn't happened yet. the question is, if we're going to see a more decisive stance from teracon, we know that turkey of sets to age the asked of any of the as well play a. so i suspect i'll shower. i'm the aged yes. and this ration will be pressuring one. and his government to either take it direct to get to take some direct statements against israel themselves, or pressure in washington to do the same. i mean, this is all um, of course, in violation of certain sovereignty is or not. and it's a violation of the international agreement signed between syria and israel. and that is what we've heard from several of foreign powers, but are these words enough to stop these violations? and when it comes to h t us as a new administration in the future, and you do expect to see more of
9:14 pm
a pushback from the government in damascus. well hitched yes. have actually said some really pragmatic, interesting things. they have said they won't be un peacekeepers, but they said they won the agreement or how does it get this is an organization that was previously affiliates, the iso of al qaeda now basically say we adhere to the security counseling, you and regulations and resolutions, and this is relevant aunt's doing so those words means nationally, can we do frankly onto know that looking elsewhere, that distracted just as israel and these republic is distracted. so they're going to need more because at the end of the day, syria has so many internal challenges. our shot are really has to do a lot internally to stump down as far as the to show that he's in charge. but at the end of the day, they're all 3 foreign powers. the technically, at the moment technically occupying syria, you have israel now expanding it. so you have control. you have to keep with a 100 mile buffers or the northern syria, and you have around 900 us troops in eastern syria. so this is a tremendous to do this for any government, regardless of what his id ology is at,
9:15 pm
at the end of the day. it's a big open question as to whether hates us will actually be able to exhibit power and influence over syria to be considered a legitimate government. what we saw today as well is that they, the serial has taken a small step towards resuming commercial air traffic, right? we saw that domestic flights take off between damascus and l f. o. is that significant to you? and what do you read into it? to that, what i think the domestic flights are which to, to the side stuff, the square. now lots of the time when governments full things get worse, very quickly. know back to have by the previous government was just because we'll be in stupidity and chaos. i think what he has a trying to do is to get things to at least the sides stopped as squared, which was not a good stuff as quote, but they don't want it to be any worse. they want the population to feel like they were the best, are off under a side. but we all hearing that, you know, that might be a way for to take things even further. so turkey, as recently as the people who've looked on the text airlines websites have recently
9:16 pm
seen that you will soon be able to book direct flights from turkey to a laptop and to damascus. now that would be a big game changer, but it would actually follow in line with what to if he's been doing. turkey has been at the 1st state to legitimize contact with h t. s. their intelligence chief last week, abraham collins visited at damascus and met with our shower, of very, very public leasing the intelligence chief sto, do normally afterwards, we saw a flurry of diplomatic activity from the u. k. gemini, friends, and many of the players in the region were rushing to meet out, shout rest. so the question is, if turkey is allowing these direct flights of the countries then follow suit and will that lead to sanctions really full syria and his profit economy. okay, rob, guys and full, thank you so much for joining us. a will for years of a sudden says government was accused of manufacturing and selling in legal tap to go on pills. and since the fled syria, evidence of the scale of this drug trade is now being on earth. zayna hood has
9:17 pm
visited one factory in java doing law outside damascus. after the fall of the shore, and i said, doors are opening, revealing with many suspected for years. his regime was long accused of being one of the world's biggest illegal drug syndicates. opposition fighters are finding warehouses that show the scale of drug production in syria. kept going, pills are everywhere in what used to be a potato chip factory. on the outskirts of duma, north of damascus of omar shows us how these bound pills were hidden for export. and one of the ways was to put them in plastic fruits it cut off to um, so the amount of this used to be a factory that made potato chips aside, took it by force and turned it into a cap to go on for. so let's see, that was run by businessman and a member of parliament. this was a multi $1000000000.00 business vessel, shows us up to 3 kilos at a time,
9:18 pm
are being found in fact, and these electrical inverters, a financial lifeline for a nearly bankrupt state. that became with many calls on our coast state western officials long said the revenues allowed the regime to withstand strict sanctions that were meant to hold officials responsible for war crimes and pressure. a said to end the conflict. us sanctions also target that the drug trade and its alleged sponsors. many of them close to the said family of the we knew, but how the resume was involved in the category trade. but we didn't imagine how big the network was, what was checking to see how many pills were in this factory. this factory is one of dozens that have been found. production was on an industrial scale. these tablets help the regime survive the chart. i said also use that to negotiate. he promised the arab countries he would help curb smuggling in exchange for an overlay ization of relations, all said was re integrated into the arab fold,
9:19 pm
but the trade in kept the gun only flourished. the drug is popular in the middle east and beyond, and also cheap to make those who ran this factory tried to burn it in what could have been an attempt to hide evidence. but when the opposition fighters arrived, they were able to put out the flames. the regime long denied involvement in the trade, but many say it couldn't happen in these tightly controlled securities state like syria, without the knowledge or consent of the regime. the premiums at the moment you anyhow, there were at least $160.00 factories and he tons of secretaries and regime areas to drug production facilities. did all the un office on drugs and crime says syria is the primary source of kept to god in the middle east. at least it was, it's new rulers are promising to change this reality that enriched a few who left much of the country and ruins santa, who there else as ita duma outside damascus. the
9:20 pm

9:21 pm
israel to end as blockade and to allow a deliveries to the area. it's just gotten off on the, you know, everyone knows that our hospital is being appealing to the world for more than 75 days. that we need capabilities, supplies, and tools in our hospital as barely providing humanitarian assistance. what do we have? no choice but to appeal again. perhaps there will be a listening ear and meet the needs of kamala one hospital. so that we can provide a humanitarian service, which has more from data in about an hour and central gaza in the religious lives. besides that, the director of the hospital has been made and these appeals and the statements for the past 75 days. and since the beginning of the ground defense that in the northern part of district leave an entire population, a travel tribes, population of civilians, a tribe in the northern part of the district without the proper access to foods, water, medical supplies, and other lives. saving restores the life saving items for them without any food.
9:22 pm
the w. a t o and other organizations have attempted many times to provide much needed medical supplies in a do the hospital and the northern part of the city. but the only succeeded fuel time just took it amount, been deliver, including the fuel tank that was gone 2 days later after it's arrived. as well as the other supplies that were bumped as well. on the 3rd floor of covered one hospital is really military. after it started, it's a ground of defensive at the beginning of october of this year. but it is storm the hospital on the 25th of october, a resting everyone inside the house, including patients, an injuries removing them from cubes or from any of the medical equipment and through gated them and detain others into unknown areas. release the director of the hospital and some of the medical staff or the only one in the hospice. so a knowledge of who is inside the hospital who gets in, who gets out how many patients no managers are rolling onto those really monitor

9:25 pm
a program that unites the peoples. you know, it all day, it has more from jordan's capital on non she's there because it is really government has bound ultra 0 from operating in israel and the occupied westbank. hello, cindy and civil society has presented an initiative to stop the gun bottles now raging in the janine refuge account between palestinian authorities security forces and the janine battalion, an arm group, and that is based in the comp. what is at issue here is the palestinian authority trying to assert its control. it says that it's pursuing armed elements. lawless elements of the statement say, and they want to empower, impose the rule of law, the residents of janine and say that this is an issue that should be resolved by dialogue that these are fighters who confront the israeli occupation and are not implicated in a breaking palestinian law, but for now these battles have already caused bloodshed. a senior member of the

to be left without static tricity. this ted combs most crumpled like paper. you thought there's a near lesson pretty. we tried to close the windows, but it was looking for people. some people tried to look for help in the neighboring houses and were greeted with guests from the cycling. but there was a neighbor who i sold lucy's life when he was buried in rubber, along with his grandson or of the 200 kilometer per hour wins. and 2 rental rain spot to the coastline when the stool made land full on sunday. the fishing industry, which many hid depend on, has been left in tops of the day before the storm devastated the french island of mild. this is what's left of one of the poorest neighborhoods. hundreds, i said that the french governments and military plains, carrying rescue workers, equipments and supplies. mozambique rescue operation has far fewer resources. it's
9:33 pm

9:34 pm
if you see any kind of help and see if some people are still missing from the area . and a group of men have volunteered to try to walk to a nearby town to try and get help. but give you an idea of how dia, the situation still is for some people it does affect the community. so how prepared was the government to do with the cycle and this time around it was i close come in in this part of the well this normally cycling season to same but too much and god, but it has in place where the cause any warning system is way tries to tell people in advance to evacuate or try and take shelter, but give the idea of how hard it is to move around in public to god or province in northern mozambique is very tough rather too. right. and so for a to of has tried to get around, it is really, really difficult. the odds enough of goods, roads, and you to really good caught to get around and bid on top of that. they did it with insecurity in the area by an armed group as you operate before you as a kid,

well that the contract is hosting almost 100 groups and the majority of them has the hand on the on different to mean. it was in this which area of the ne, on of the, of the country. and while you, connie was 0 goma, the democratic republic of cool. okay, well now speak to robert amsterdam, who is one of the lawyers for the democratic republic of congo. joining us from london, mister amsterdam, thanks for speaking to us on alger 0. why is this case being falls now that it's being filed? because when we contacted apple in april to attempt to open up discussions and send questions that they basically wrote us a but now response. and yet, today, they appear to have admitted that they in fact, cannot tell the difference between minerals that have originated in the d, r c, or rwanda. and that they've stopped sourcing from the region as this would appear
9:38 pm
to be almost a confession as to the allegations we've made in these complaints. and we're all quite surprised by apple's complete turnaround. but hang on the say that the statement that say that it strongly disputes your allegations, and it said as the conflict in the region escalated earlier, this where we notified our suppliers that there smelters and refiners must have spent sourcing 10 tonsil and tungsten and gold. from the d r c on rolanda. so what are we to read into that? well, i mean, listen very clearly in june when they wrote to us, they never mentioned this change. and in fact, apples arrogance in not communicating with a sovereign government. what the d r c is completely inexplicable. the gravity of the allegations made against apple r as severe as any allegations ever made against the corporation. and their
9:39 pm
arrogance is insufferable, and an insult to the people of the congo, and it's back to the people of africa itself. what is the legal basis though, for filing this in europe, as opposed to the us where the company is based? the apple is a global, multi trillion dollar company. they are everywhere. and the fact is, there are some judicial advantages to us in europe. apple of far off a heroic church last year about child labor based on some technical legal reasoning . and we believe the, the courts in europe have a better disposition in terms of this. and quite frankly, apple won't be operating on home. brown. just correct me if i'm wrong here, but in the neck, in terms of what comes next. i mean, 2 or 3 days in france and belgium have to sort of determine whether there is
9:40 pm
sufficient of edit evidence at this point to investigate further. i potentially bring any charges or what are the next steps. there are many next steps. there are next steps in terms of the process as we opened today, there will be further processes, the government of the congo will not rest until apple and others that are exploding the situation in the congo and the war and the famine and the violence. there are brought to account when you say others, what do you mean by that? and who are you talking about? all of those others who hide behind supply change. we have got to stop this control of supply change this defense, that trillion dollar companies used to try to avoid liability. apple knows very well what's been going on as does the entire world as does the you,
9:41 pm
when it was published, report after report. but apple hasn't picked up the telephone and spoken to the governments of the congo and tried to have a reasonable discussion about what can be done. okay, robert, i'm so down one of lawyers for the democratic republic of congo, joining us for lunch and thank you. us in the us, the patients has been taken to the hospital with a severe case of bird flu, health authorities. the patients was exposed to sick and dead birds and a backyard flock. around 61 cases of birds, flu have been recorded in the us so far this year. dr. call in butler a butter excuse me, and is an associate professor of bio veterinary science at the university of lincoln joining us now from lincoln. thanks for your time. how alarming is this? i don't think this is especially law. me is cool. 680 concerning from patients and their family. but there's nothing to suggest at this point that this particular
9:42 pm
virus i should pass is a direct for up to, to people. so you're saying you have a wide population, right? my next question, you're saying that the risk to the general public then is how would you describe it? so definitely look, this is astray as ours that we know quite a lot about. and since this morning we should be the strain of the patient has a strain as far as is aggressive and people. and that's really unfortunate. but it seems very likely this task is contrasting bizarre, directly from jacobs, that the so the 400 people died over the course of ice 5 in the last 10 years or so . that's what was the result of doris attraction from that to really dangerous thing with the a such a virus develop mutation. so the allowed instruction is pass and stuff where all that kind of virus press the stop so that it is recognizing that viruses involve.
9:43 pm
and that possibility, and then she may tell me about that would be exceedingly dangerous. when you say maybe tell me about what kind of can you put a, put a timeline on it or some sort of scale going forward. and what you're saying is right now, it cannot be spread from human to human, correct? and there was another account, the spectrum, humans, human, accomplish. it's on line on that old account. so it is a 3 substantial pandemic. something still ends in the last century. all of which came from books and wanting this century to kind of takes a few wreck and all 3 essentially. then it's a natural problem. but as in time, what is the, the sort of the rising frequency and diversity of these types of viruses tell you about their adaptability of these a, these are what we call our and i've, our asses are nice is across it is extremely new types of all uh, so it does change and it does evolve. and you can see that happening almost in real
9:44 pm
time. now the page 5 and one inch winds, as long as it's going to the number of species in domestic cases. species recently received infectious accounts has a very particular strain of light fog and lots of candles. america on past that has attracted people with disabilities for emotions. since having an exceedingly damaging facts and the southern hemisphere and blah, blah and optic loss. so they're all very substantial repercussions on us. this is, are lots of dalston type stuff. new explanations we want is to see more down. how is this one different to h one, n one? for example. this is like 5 and one is just a slightly different strike. i know that it is actually either one. okay, great. thank you. for the clarification, dr. call in butter is an associate principal it professor by a veterinary science at the university of lincoln. thanks for speaking to us from lincoln. okay, well now speak to. kimberly how can joining us from the white house. so kimberly a new administrator and coming in next month. and president trump has promised to
9:45 pm
reshape the health department. what's going on is yeah, well, there is some concern about this new virus, given the fact that there is a new incoming administration and the person that is tapped by the president elect . donald trump, for the nation's top health job has some, uh, controversial views when it comes to differ positions when it comes to public health. robert f kennedy junior, for example, is a proponent of consuming ron milk. and many people say, what does that have to do with age 5 and one? well, that is where out in california last week the virus was detected. so there is some concern about that. given the fact that health experts say this really underscores the risk for food borne illness outbreaks and the fear is that the incoming
9:46 pm
administration may not have the right people in place to not only detect this virus but also to mitigate another outbreak. so based on history and how the trump administration responds, it's a curb and 19 would some americans be concerned right now as yeah. not just some a lot of americans are really concerned because they've kind of seen this movie before when it comes to coping 19. 0, you'll remember when donald trump was last and office code 19 broke out, and many people are would argue that the response was botched. in other words, a lot of people say that 10 people died due to the fact that the administration was unprepared. there was inadequate testing a slow response, the economy shut down a school shut down there was learning gaps, etc, etc. so the big fear is, is that this could happen again. the other big fear is, according to public health experts is but given the fact that the trumpet
9:47 pm
ministration says it was to cap the size of government again, there may not be the people in place when it comes to public health. to not only detect, not only, you know, sort of worst look for this virus, but also to respond to it. should it to appear in large scale or even to, to mutate. so that is the big fear among the public health experts is that there could be another sort of global health emergency and there's simply want to be the people on the ground to respond to that sort of emergency. okay, thank you so much. kimberly how can reporting from the white house, the russian authorities say they detained a suspect over the killing of a senior general in moscow on choose day. the 29 year old from whose breakfast on has reportedly confessed to collaborating with ukrainian intelligent surfaces. and the attack on igor sheree law of he was the commander of russia's nuclear chemical and biological defense division. and was investigating the activities by the us and

9:50 pm
9:51 pm
the talk of the sports news here is peter greene. thank you very much. india o'rando robbie tons of nation has analyses with time and from international crickets actually made the announcements of to india and australia is 3rd test ended in a draw in brisbin. the 58 year old representatives country more than $250.00 times across the sports 3 formats. he took 557 tickets and schooled 6 centuries in test. ashlyn help india. when the 2011 woke up and 2013 champions trophy, i don't know how to find. i must have been there a lot of families alongside with them. so it will allow that the minutes, even the last the last few years. we're the last a bunch of these. if you can see that the the, i'd be marketing this as might be that the 7 joining us now from moving by we have
9:52 pm
cricket food costs around a couple, rocks, thank you for your time. do you find anything peculiar about ashton's decision in particular? the timing midway through an important taste series. now like many of his grades, pin balls, peter, we did not see this one coming. no one picked it. no one read it. the fact that he wasn't even playing, and the fact that he just played the last test, we normally get a bit of a buzz that one of the veteran cricket is a great cricket doesn't make no mistake. gosh, one is an absolute great o face time. if he's going to call it time, we thought he might make it a more of a cetera many adam. let all of us know in advance that he's about to play as lost as to perhaps have, you know, what we call is a fairytale knowledge. but that really ever happens, it's full and i think he just reached this diamond stage of his career where he was tired of warming dimensions sitting on the sidelines. he is without question or jump in boiler and he just didn't want to spend this kind of time away from home at
9:53 pm
this stage of his life. rather could we look at ash one's record in terms of we could, we could compare into annual come play in terms of weekends and runs. we could compare them to capital. dave, how would he be remembered that he should be remembered as an absolute great, someone who willed himself and to be agreed in spite of limitations that gave me the form of his body. and he covered up to that with just to show a strength of his mind. i need complete himself said today that he could have easily gone and passed his record, which tells you how much more the complete thought he had in his game. and i think i'll swing should be remembered as someone who was in the other grade as much, but not of his time at a time when the format that he played in the doctor's format. the reason the game was actually much realized, which is perhaps why he doesn't get the kind of products that that doesn't fast photos and risk videos do. but this was a champion bowler who set high standards for themselves to get too excited for relevant. and he should be remembered as an absolute match for now. and it seems
9:54 pm
that these replacement, we think of somebody like rubbing drugs that age. we think of washington, somebody who has appeared on the scene recently. would you say that these are the kind of players but india can look to in the medium to long term as adequate replacements for s one as well. just spend a lot of time building with ashwin and i don't think he's got as much time in the gave. he's 35 himself. he will be the lead spin of for the media and tell me like to say peter washington. so there is now finally, he seems to be coming of age. he perhaps will be the man to take his bottom. it's perhaps a circle coming around fleischman, whom so i placed a 100 percent saying it was a great spinner of his own thing. what i will say is, i think it'll be a long time before we see an indian spinner reach, the kind of milestones and numbers that you've just mentioned in your info endeavor . blessed by having great spin us for the last 30 years in the form of completely out of budget and did not win in successive generations with the kind of challenges that spin is based on the amount of workload, the cricket. as i have,
9:55 pm
i think it'll be a long, long time before we see any cricket of either from india or anywhere in the world, reach the kind of numbers and the kind of achievements that our son has. and in terms of india right now, they've not mean that they based in the series against australia, despite the winning that 1st test, the input. and then of course, don't forget the series whitewash at home against new zealand. to what extent do you think indian fans should be consumed right now? it's a demon transition. i don't think it did fine, so i shouldn't as evict as a member of the as a casualty of that transition social. but now that we've let the dust settle, i think i can understand that he's always been a not a certainty, and they play and 11 whenever they travel and they do travel for the next 8 or 9 months. their next home test is already going to be in october, november next step. as far as the see, there's an australia of those at the start of the cedars. if you were to throw this into the after the 1st 3 test, which would have been the toughest, at least on the paper, australia did start an identity that was quite hostile in terms of india, as john says, with the menus that they had. if you told them they were going to be 11 going into
9:56 pm
the last 2, i think they take it, they understand they've gotten away with one of those been because of the weather. but the fact that they managed to get that 1st one would be of great significance. so i think they're still, this is very much open and the response inputs to what happened in new zealand at home. but india is very proud on record, came to an end, and i must say that that 12 year long record was built on the back of washington's to great scale. so he should be the champion of that record of i think this is not what team that will be in transition. they, they will lose before they start winning again. but hey, if, if australia i need, uh, 11 going into the last to test. i still think this is anybody serious around a couple of thank you so much for your time. much appreciated the manchester united manager, reuben amber and says the club is better with the marcus restaurant as well as the forward being closer to saying that he's ready for a new challenge. the 27 year old was dropped from united squad full day to one when a local arrivals mattress, the city restaurant has not hit. he's taught phone consistently in recent times.
9:57 pm
