long time to serve to be nominated for the nobel. for the you know the weight of the. book and you. know the peace prize for fisa. this man has a different opinion. a syrian journalist who fled to turkey in the us at the end and we watched some of the body look at syria our series we love bashar we support bashar i thought. i saw him so no no no we cannot. i don't think so it's but it's really it is not this working in it is like one hundred. people so. i thought what this british and. u.s. national team don't live in syria. for example

a place in the lebanese premier league. we have many many people the syrian goes for outside this you know we have you know germany in the oil and. when something i think up in the in my not you looking in the oil game how many people's funds he coming aboard the national team the national team he played for twenty three million syrian guys don't have the balls right. he is famous for clearing the ball like a volleyball player goalkeeper and he's one of just six national team players who play in the syrian premier league in spite of there's still a professional football league how to shoot. i mean how it could go for that also part. i would have been let go would be. sure he will question it and the bob

knowledge on version is not like. the start of. the. watch in the. major wash before. i'm still alive so you had a look he had be out of the. bill much my limousine at the level is any help but that the little guy. at the stadium syrian flags i had it out for free. and some fans have brought a sad picture of this football match at times mimics a propaganda shot. that i i.

and these other tens of cool what. most of the syrians and cool white a farm workers a community of around one hundred fifty thousand people but barely any refugees kuwait has kept its own us largely close to those seeking refuge from war. but when it comes to football the dogs seem to be more open. syria wins by the way life can be so easy when you support the right team but real life is more complicated. we try to bring back normal life with football we all focus on football we tried to do the best boys are extremely hard work us they all fight us

for that country. fighters for their country to be good to success the bigger the stage for potential propaganda. this team makes football fans like me think about the war in syria. and kuwait i have met very nice and tons of people here is one of the score as of yesterday. but this team sucks us many losses. syrian football players like she have reportedly missing. the football and thousands of other civilians have been detained in military prisons in syria. so. gullible i. the tournament is

being hosted by the you eat what's the state of play when it comes to football in the country journey of barcelona gives us the lowdown. united arab emirates the futuristic oasis in the middle of the desert. with fast cars and the skyscrapers. where money is plentiful and living lavish is the standard way of life. a small nation with big ambition. we never say that we have to reach just like somewhere in the middle i want to be always number one the same goes for sport but not just any sport football but even hosting the two thousand nine hundred eighteen course there are still some things that money can't buy.

guys if needed then yeah and this time i have a little something different for you we're here and the united arab emirates in dubai now we think of football and the emirates usually the first thing that comes to mind is the only limited bank behind european football in giant man city anyone but on the verge of the biggest. couple history what we want to know is is just another luxurious path or is there a real passion for the sport in the land of riches let's go find out. as a part of the continent was supposed fastest growing community be you if you will struggle to bridge the gap between football as a sport and football as a culture however even though they haven't been around long they have already seen

their fair share of growth since playing their first competitive match in one thousand nine hundred eighty two. just to be just like i hope that most of the people out here like practicing especially maybe in schools and you can find it in the neighborhoods and dad really into football has a passion for the sport let me tell you first of all maybe we have to think about the population on the different nationalities of the people living in the country maybe the much of the majority is of the ex-pats and ex-pats have some different sports enjoy in one thousand nine hundred ninety before even having a pro league they qualified for their first and only world cup in italy they lost all of their games but managed to score goals against the eventual champions western was was the i mean beach that world cup in one thousand nine hundred that was even before

being caught fish in it but now everybody is talking having like i wish to have much more than that in two thousand and seven we decided to go professional. football league and we started the season two thousand and eight two thousand and nine maybe like two years ago we were at number one asia as a leak professional league and that wasn't really like that we had a problem about the murder. further there. since the last time they hosted the asian cup in one thousand nine hundred six the expression close but no cigar can characterize the u.a.e. as performances in the a.f.c. they finished runner up in ninety six and third in two thousand and fifteen but have never taken the number one prize currently the team has improved to number seventy nine in the fee for world rankings but for them there is still more work to be done i think overall. i might say. i would

also to have some achievements that will show that we are doing that i think last year with big expectations of winning the asian cup at home the u.a.e. went shopping in italy and came back with only city as a winner with italian giants ac milan and asian cup winner with japan in two thousand and eleven ok i'm a little bit nervous because this is the coach of the ninety eight ninety nine eleven team that literally made me dream as a child but. i got to be professional but go. out all. in order. and that's when they were born or.

in your room. i always look at you and put a cloth will join me in. a village or the other. movie one of. the battle be your first. i've been on the squad. of it. kwok check was caused. or put down. the study. and some of the russians assuming theory of me that the me and your me me. me that they made out the. morning that the rivers are on their lunch at the smudge at the. top of my

shell report they would all. of us are caused by the put all there was talk of. critical critical. and i did. it all some. mystery throughout the time to me this but the porter. and she song. culture is the driving factor for passion here around the globe culture has a big influence on how people live the football experience in the u.a.e. a country whose population is made up ninety percent of ex-pats so many different cultures can be found in the same place. located just across town is the u.a.e. as a reason get some more information about their plans for future success. so

we're here at the u.a.e. football association so we're everything football is planned and organized and what we've noticed is that they're actually very dedicated to the growth and development of football in this country from walking around we've seen the attention to detail dedicated to all aspects of football from beach football to use football and even the women's game so not just the most profitable aspects so how do you actually measure passion for the sport there's no number there's no value that you can give it from my. experience oftentimes the individuals with the most passion are the ones who make little to no money at all from the sport. who really are alcohol really is a former u.n. chief football player who is now a thief

a board member on the women's football committee and the technical director and head coach of the women's national team which until recently didn't exist. what is the support like for the women's program here they have a good support from the government especially for women who talk about football is a good support because i think we have three national teams for the age group which is if you came before three years with the single that is many girls who loved football. colleagues in the school. level of football but they couldn't play because of. people they did not accept football as a few men. or the women's game but now everything changed after visiting the f.a. i'm left with the impression that real support is actually there and not only in

terms of money at the end money alone can't buy passion but it can help you to have success which in turn can spark the interest of a nation so maybe this is the biggest occasion in history right here in the u.a.e. is just what this country needs to get the ball going. here .

a look at the highlights from around the globe also coming up. a new year's warning from north korea's media came and say it's all change course on denuclearization if u.s. sanctions against his country continue. and going where no probe has gone before nasa says a spacecraft has grown past the most distant world ever studied all talks of rocket scientist about the landmark mission. i'm christine wendell welcome to the program. as twenty nine thousand takes hold from east to west it has now reached the americas raindrops been along with on fifty as revel is celebrated in times square but skies were clear when festivities bag began earlier in the pacific let's take

a quick tool for millions of people around the globe the last moments of twenty eight thousand was spent holding their breath then as the clock struck midnight the show began. from kuala lumpur to sydney. to hong kong. hours later twenty nine thousand came to pakistan. to dubai. home of the world's tallest skyscraper the borgia khalifa. and on to the lebanese capital beirut. one of the largest new year's eve celebrations in europe is in berlin at the brandenburg gate hundreds of thousands of revelers gathered for the show and.

it was a similar scene in the city of lights paris my hat. that . across the atlantic to copacabana beach in rio de janeiro. the new york crowds gathered on times square for an annual ritual the dropping of a crystal ball at midnight but even heavy rain could dampen the enthusiasm. this year's event had a serious night celebrating generalism and press freedom. i . all right north korean leader kim jong un has used his annual new year's address to warn that his country may change direction on its promise of

denuclearization if the u.s. continues its sanctions in his stead of my speech kim said he remains committed to working towards an austin peace on the korean korean peninsula and stronger cooperation between north and south korea's the south to stop its joint military exercises with the u.s. . kim also wants the u.s. not to test north korea's patients not operable injured i'm told as he was at the well i am always ready to sit down again with the u.s. president at any time and will make efforts to produce an outcome that the international community would welcome junko we need however if the u.s. miscalculates our people's patience forces something upon us and pursue sanctions and pressure without keeping a promise it made to the world we have no option but to explore a new path in order to protect our sovereignty in achieve peace on the korean peninsula that's the issue that i'm joined now by

a voice is correspondent josh smith he's in seoul for us hi josh how serious should kim straight be taken. well i think his speech today underscores the fact that both washington and pyongyang are unlikely to support a continuation of the status quo this will increase pressure on both sides to try to make some kind of progress on those sanctions as well as denuclearization of north korea the united states forces that there's not been enough progress by north korea towards actually giving up its nuclear weapons while kiam as you highlighted in his speech today is showing some impatience with what he sees as america's insistence on continuing the sanctions. and josh came to an end donald trump met for that historic summit what's been achieved.

well between the united states and north korea not a lot there have been some negotiations but many of the talks that the two sides have planned have fallen through both camp in trying to say that they are committed to trying to meet again next year and there will be increased pressure for them to show some kind of specific agreement coming out of that there have been more progress between north and south korea and this is something that came also mentioned in this speech pointing to this is an example of progress that can be made in a way that's both beneficial for north and south korea. speaking of progress josh what concrete steps have to be taken in order for. korea and the u.s. to continue this year. well exactly what both sides are to compromise on has not been clear by either side that being said if the united states has talked about. the need for north korea to perhaps give an

accounting of all of their nuclear weapons or perhaps close down their young beyond nuclear reactor north korea meanwhile has said that washington can signal its good intentions by using at least some of the same ships that washington and the international community have imposed on them. ok josh smith reuters correspondent in seoul thank you very much. thank you now to some of the other stories making news around the world russian media say the death toll from a gas explosion at an apartment building in the south of the country has risen to seven as many as forty people could still be trapped in the rubble the blast in the city of mad need to force happened early on monday morning when many residents were asleep. and necessary as a spacecraft has completed a historic fly by causing the foggiest and possibly oldest cosmic body ever

explored by humankind seen on this animation the distant will it is located almost six and a half billion years or columbus's from it. and joining me now from reston virginia in the u.s. is keith cowing a former rocket scientist and editor of the blog nasa watch heikki thanks for joining us today so we're expecting images off the fly by it will take some to reach earth but what can we expect to see. well right now we're only seeing images from quite quite a distance and it's one or two pixels the sheep seems to be oblong and that's all we know and that's what we're really waiting for because this flybys like a bullet chasing a bullet and one of the bullets has a camera so it's all that happened very fast and then the images will be sent home but they take six hours to get back here so that's why we have to wait all right so nasa is calling this admission has started and just how significant is this

well we've been all over the solar system but we were visiting worlds that have been you know made out of stuff that the sun is heated again and again for billions of years but it was made out of something that normally we don't see where we live but going this far outside of the solar system we're visiting material from that's probably unchanged since the origin of the solar system for five billion years ago so it's like literally getting in a time machine going back to seeing what it looked like when everything started. all right so we know that this is the end or rather it is this the end of the new horizons mission all can we expect to see more data. oh this space propose a lot of gas left in the tank and it's likely it'll busy yet another small body like this and after it's done that it could be transmitting data per decade or two so this is the spacecraft is going to keep on given all right that's the case cowing event to new for us we appreciate you staying up for escape thank you my pleasure. brazil's new far right president shavelson r.

it begins he's four year term today but as the former army captain takes office activists fear his policies could have disastrous consequences for the already depleted amazon rain forest also nari says he will not protecting the environment stand in the way of economic progress. smoke rises on the front lines of an environmental war the battle here is all but over once again humans have overcome nature and driven back the rain forest but it's hard to speak of winners here in the east of the amazon jungle. all this has to go so that cows can graze here this worker tells us then he warns us to leave before his boss sees us what they're doing here is illegal journalists and environmentalist are not welcome forrester andree miranda is shocked though not for the first time. at the

pit anna i feel a great sense of loss i work so hard to protect the rain forest it's such a complex ecosystem it took centuries to grow and then just a few minutes for it to be destroyed transformed into ash and dust. andre works for an organization that helps property owners use the rain forest without destroying it but in recent months more and more jungle has been cleared on drip graeme's the political climate. view we saw in this election that the new government won't take care of the environment we're scared that all our efforts for a sustainable use of the rain forest will soon be over. our cabbage and. brazil's incoming far right president dry balsa narrow has repeatedly said that the rain forest can no longer stand in the way of economic growth what exactly he means

by that is unclear but brazil's powerful mining and farming lobbies of counting on him to represent their interests the military dictatorship that ruled brazil until one nine hundred eighty five wanted the forests chopped down and ordered the country's space agency to monitor the clearance now researches a trying to protect the environment the yellow areas on this map show where the rain forest has been destroyed. the areas of the amazon that have been deforested add up to about twice the size of germany. cattle and soy farming require lots of land the farms of profitable in the short term but in the long term research is argue intact rain forest some more important wondrous team demonstrates how that could work to map out the forest selecting individual trees to be logged for valuable would then this area will go untouched for third.
