How they are and this is the news out from london coming up pakistan calls in the army to restore calm after more than one hundred fifty people are injured in violence between the police and religious protests in. Egypt august suspected fighters off to the last attack in sinai that killed hundreds of people. And fear and distrust how some are handle refugees are reacting to a deal that could see them return. And support japans aura rads had been crowned the new champions and asia but yeah an east side being saudi arabia as our whole out to one on aggregate lift their second trophy. The army has been called in to restore order to the pakistani capital islamabad after more than one hundred fifty people were injured in violence between police and religious protesters earlier riot police fired tear gas and water cannon demonstrators while clearing vast sitting camp which has been blocking main routes into the city for over two weeks the protest is a calling for the resignation of a minister who emitted a reference to the Prophet Muhammad in a parliament she bill coming. From about ninety kilometers from the whole. The civilian government has asked the military to come in aid of the civilian administration their primary objective would be to save dogs key installations the diplomatic ball they were in islamabad and that at a time when there is trouble spreading across the country we had added trouble in karachi protests have continued many people injured there and us and we are toward only one person was killed near the airport now all the airports all the highways and fluting the grand trunk road that connects the north to the south as well as the motorway that connects its lombard to the provincial capital of the punjab long haul all people are stuck on the highways take an org move because all the able to take training have been taken over by the protector and then we have also been told that the protesters are now back in strength at the same place where the Security Forces primarily the police where they tried to get across them are near this morning story indeed a crisis situation head and the military now being called in for the protection of islamabad but this is a situation that has been mishandled by the government that disqualified Prime Minister of the country had called all his Party Workers and members including senior ministers for the meeting and it all while trouble was brewing in the city of karachi in islamabad so it appears that the government had miscalculated they did not know their strength of the reaction that would happen and on forward on the streets across pakistan indeed a crisis situation one that age threatening to spiral out of control that is also talk that the form a interior ministers house was attacked the law minister whos resignation that people have demanded and also being attacked and of course that the government and all sorts of trouble. Washington says it strongly condemns the release of her face sayit the suspect behind the two thousand and eight mumbai attacks and it says the decision will affect u. S. Pakistan relations the founder of the armed groups. Say ten Million Dollar u. S. Bounty on his head for the attack which killed one hundred sixty six people including americans Officials Say hes being released because the government has failed to provide any evidence against him saeed has repeatedly denied involvement in the mumbai attacks well for more on this lets go to tom command who is in washington tom why all the United States is so concerned about this particular case. Well first and foremost this is indicative of a tougher line all throughout the troubled ministration from the very inception its very inception the president in this past summer put a an escrow hold on two hundred fifty five Million Dollars in military aid against pakistan and trump has been outspoken in criticizing pakistan for what he regards as their lax attitude towards terrorists and including. The notes from the rather the statement from the white house today noted that six american citizens were among the one hundred fifty five who were killed in the mumbai bombings and they want to see him. Brought to justice and this also comes at a at a critical point here where afghanistan has been criticizing pakistan once more saying that theyve seen no improvement in their position in dealing with the taliban and so next week the. American defense secretary or at least the chief of staff general dunford is scheduled to be in pakistan and to be followed later by defense minister defense secretary rather james mattis and we can see that this is just part of the toughening up preparations for those visits to pakistan so indeed and the administration is saying in that Statement Today that repercussions could well happen between pakistan on the u. S. It could really affect their relationship what sort of things to think theyre looking at. Well its not only the fact that has been more critical of pakistans position and performance in cracking down on extremists its also has decided to leaning towards india the fact that hes called for india to be more engaged in afghanistan that was a red line or rather a red light for pakistan and so what were seeing here is. Toughening position on the on the american the american side and clearly a much more definitive attitude towards the India Pakistan divide many thanks tom a kind of a nagging him giving us what will flash on that story now to egypt where prosecutors say gunmen who stormed a mosque in sinai were carrying i still flag officially theres still no claim of responsibility but egypts military has already begun bombing targets of a pledge by president Abdel Fattah Elsisi that there is behind the attack would not go unpunished more than three hundred people on the known to have died in the attack in bed the west in egypt modern history reports. Egyptian military has released this footage which it says shows its warplanes hitting targets in the sinai its part of its crackdown on suspected fighters after fridays devastating attack these targets the minute she says a believed to be housing or storing ammunition linked to those who attacked the mosque has president Abdel Fattah Elsisi has promised to use brutal force and an iron fist against those responsible for what he called a heinous act of terrorism he also declared three days of National Mourning this is the worst attack in egypts recent history apart from the devastating loss of life people here feeling angry to. Be for anything fault our leadership because our leaders havent taken decisive decisions with respect why because this isnt the first time this has happened and its in a mall so thats. The brotherhood is giving money to these people theyre spending all of them there helping them who else is going to help them this is the mosque that was targeted in the troubles northern part of the sinai its used by sufis members of a Mystic Movement within islam the attack began shortly after the noon worship started and the mosque was full witnesses described how between ten and twenty masked gunmen were a military uniform stormed the mosque using rocket fire grenades and automatic weapons it also blocks the escape route local reports described how the gunman surrounded the mosque outside to mow down any survivors as well as those who are rushing to the scene to help this thirteen year old described how he survived yes i was outside the mosque and suddenly i heard gunshots inside i saw them running and i went inside the mosque i found all of the people climbing on top of each other they were trying to get out of the mosque because they were afraid and i was trying to get out of the bullet and of my leg no one has claimed responsibility for the attack but im. Media suspicion has form a local i saw linked armed Group Analysts say the heavy handed military response could potentially lead to more on road you saw the beginning of fomenting of a cycle of violence of state repression targeting these groups through arbitrary arrests leading to them for mentoring a cycle of violence. Meanwhile the president has launched a thorough investigation of the families of the victims gather to bury the kind of hoax. So as have told al jazeera four members of the Egyptian Military have been injured in fighting with gunmen south of russia in northern sinai meanwhile the planned reopening of the rafa crossing into gaza has also been delayed it was expected to open temporarily on saturday but its been put on hold at the crossing largely sealed off since twenty thirteen while the army fights armed groups in the area says thirty thousand people have been waiting to cross earlier timothy culled us from the top Korea Institute for middle east policy tell all jazeera the military approach in sinai has not been effective. In the in the case of sinai the military has had a pretty active tempo of counterinsurgency and Counterterrorism Operations for quite some time and as yesterday showed it hasnt been enough to stop this sort of thing from happening and for us to continue to escalate. Its tactics in the mainland the government has been fairly successful at bringing down substantially the number of attacks however sinai has remained a different challenge. I think that the question that needs to be asked is when will the military and the government review its strategy and look to have a more sophisticated and mixed approach to counterinsurgency the military strategy alone has not been and has not been adequate and so its time to examine what other options are available and how to win over the local population and to help deny isis safe haven and the ability to move more so freely. Irans president has reassured his syrian counterpart Bashar Al Assad that teheran will stand by him the Syrian People in the fight against terrorism and efforts to rebuild the country and ronnie and me there is the reporting has on rouhani called the syrian leader to tell him that talks to summit in sochi was the right step at the right time for the future of syria it comes as iran russia and turkey held a trilateral meeting a summit this week where a major diplomatic push was made to end the six year war. Turkey says it expects u. S. President donald trump to stick to his promise not to supply weapons to syria and kurdish fighters also known as the wife of gene on friday turkish president trichet type one held a phone call from in which the u. S. President reportedly gave an order that weapons should no longer be supplied to the wife e. G. The white house later issued a statement only saying it would quote make adjustments to its policy of arming allies in syria the time Prime Minister ation began supplying weapons to r. P. G. Early this year before the battle to retake isis stronghold of raka turkey considers the wipe e. G. A terrorist group i mean. All of the number one subject that negatively impacts our relationship with the us is the weapons that its given to the y. P. G. And lately weve seen that some Armored Vehicles have been supplied and our esteemed president once again reiterated his discomfort to mr trump mr trump clearly stated that he had given clear instructions that the white b. G. Wont be given arms and that this nonsense should have ended a long time ago of course we were very happy with this doctors in Northern Syria are being forced underground because their frequent attacks on hospitals one facility has now been built entirely below the surface at a secret location to treat patients injured by government airstrikes asama binge of a report from near syrias border with turkey. Farmers on the operating table because his leg was injured in an airstrike but this is no ordinary Operation Theatre its Hidden Underground so its been filled by air raid. They were im afraid when the regime targets a hospital i lost a member of my family in an airstrike. Its known as the cave hospital in northern thirty or so doctors are keeping its location secret for fear of further attacks by government get. They showed us photos after some of the hundred thirty five year strikes targeted their Hospital Medical facilities and medical workers nowadays are far from being working an ideal situation there are all sort of challenges one of the main challenges has to do with witnessing not only going for a long time but at the same time he doesnt. Doesnt stop. This is what remains of many hospitals above ground so it took months of digging five hundred square meters in the mountains to convert into treatment rooms workers then plaster the walls and bags at the entrance increased security. This is the doctor who began the project he was also killed in an airstrike last year and his colleagues continue to face challenges. Biggest problem is the airstrikes which target civilians this hospital is theoretically safe but we expect anything from the government and its destructive weapons making the hospital safe is just one of the many challenges most hospitals in opposition areas suffer from a lack of medicine and other vital supplies to emergency exits in case of any attack being underground brings the constant challenge of maintaining the floor so doctors and patients dont suffocate. We face difficulties such as ventilation and shortages of medical supplies after securing ourselves in a cave inside a mountain because Serious Health care system has been largely destroyed by six years of war Preventive Care units and Health Centers are nonexistent potentially fatal diseases are common because of a lack of vaccine. Healthcare is being used as a weapon of war in syria doctors say targeting hospitals means denial of treatment and the only option to save lives is going on the ground some of the job a delta zero. Four eight planes have arrived in yemens capital carrying humanitarian workers and vaccines to help fight it syria yemen is enjoying the worst cholera epidemic and is on the brink of a famine or made worse blockade of the country. Wheels down at Center International airport for the first time in almost three weeks until saturday a saudi led blockade had shut down most of yemens ports of entry after warnings by the un a handful of planes carrying polio and diptheria vaccines and aid workers arrived in the hooty controlled capital.

Still to come this news hour a small town in Papua New Guinea takes a hunt in hundreds of refugees from a closed australia but theres no guarantee of a warm welcome. The cull continues in zimbabwe with finance minister. Detained until monday on option challenges. And in sports valtteri bottas. To pole position in more on that story coming up with. Bangladesh have agreed to take assistance from the United NationsRefugee Agency to safeguard the repatriation of hundreds of thousands of muslims to government signed a pact on thursday terms for the way process which is expected to begin within two months under the new deal. Will be moved to temporary camps while socalled model villages are constructed. Also plans to issue them with Identity Card on my return although most have rejected the trial stuff that has. Its impossible to imagine the level of suffering that people like these have endured over recent months and indeed for decades now stories of men women and children being killed by. Stories of gang rape being committed by soldiers in the media. Stories that the government. Is now this agreement between the bangladeshi and the myanmar government with respect to repress relation implies the eventual return of these people to a country that they have some sort of legal citizenship status but of course they dont they lost their citizenship thirty five years ago in one thousand nine hundred eighty two when its when you speak to people here. But you really get a sense of the fear and a lack of trust amongst them they saying that they are not prepared to go back until their property is rebuilt and they get some sort of formal legal citizenship status. Hasnt seen her husband since she fled a month ago. First they have to give us Identity Cards at the border stating that we are residents all citizens and that we are. Otherwise we will not go in because they may start killing us again. Also says his home and village was destroyed and he is terrified about returning to live like i mean they want a lot of them and we dont want to leave bangladesh back home were afraid to leave our house if they kill us they take our people away we dont want to go back how did you knew that. According to the Bangladesh Government theres no fixed timeframe as to how long this repatriation will take its hope that the process will start in about two months time the Bangladesh Foreign minister also says that myanmar has agreed that the u. N. H. C. R. The un will be involved in the process and its aiming to set up temporary camps so people like these can live in the areas in which their homes were destroyed but the two main issues when you speak to the people here are issues of trust trust the media and military and secondly citizenship will they eventually become citizens of the country for so long for so many generations they have called home. Hundreds of refugees in Papua New Guinea have spent their first day outside a decommissioned australian prison camp they were refusing to leave they say the town outside the camp isnt safe for them but some locals disagree Andrew Thomas reports from an asylum. Internationally the words man of silence conjure thoughts of banished refugees but theyre not the only ones who live here the island is big and has a population close to sixty thousand most people are spread out living in small villages in the interior or along the coast but six thousand live here in the islands only town Lauren Lauren gallo is also now home to about seven hundred refugees most moved here against their will on friday they say they wanted to stay in their former prison the spite of having to live on rainwater and smuggled in food because they did not think theyd say in town most local cop when you give you just say that fear is misplaced money people are very accommodating people that love being. Inclusive people but others have concerns about hundreds of men from very different cultures suddenly living among them. Is just men only and they do that when they come on ladies they find if we dont related needs on a big. Issue did they dont feel the need of every leader. And then they may cause a problem with the local leadership thats not concerned though that necessarily leads to hostility Walking Around this market in daytime fails to make a pretty sight but then im only here for a short time and im not a refugee from the middle east africa or south asia the things they say a very different some refugees chose to leave the prison and move to lauren months even two years ago to keep occupied so just hussein works as a receptionist at the guesthouse but hes not paid refugees aunt allowed paid work and despite being much better integrated the most he says the town for refugees isnt safe one month there will be a good anyway if you will deny on my neck. For. If we didnt deal with the. Many refugees have similar stories drunk young men attack them among the locals most have sympathy for the refugees but think its time they move on or were moved on if youre the one they belong to a different god different world for along with. Four hundred years is too long we should have one when. The refugees feel the same way Andrew Thomas aljazeera one man assigned in pop will you give me libyas coast guard has recovered the bodies of thirty refugees from a shipwreck of its northwestern coast a coast guard spokesman told aljazeera another forty people are unaccounted for one hundred forty five have been rescued it comes a day after more than two hundred fifty refugees were rescued from two badly damaged boats zimbabwes former finance minister.

Not even if youre. In. The army has already withdrawn from the streets of harare ahead of an announcement of a return to barracks and that action coincides with a High Court Judgment saying its action and taking power and putting mugabe under house arrest was lawful but Human Rights Watch says its an example of the military having undue influence on the judiciary and there are legal warnings that it could set a precedent. I was after his swearing in everson nougat had vowed to hit the ground running with a raft of measures to revive zimbabwes shattered economy but he hasnt impressed the main opposition party. He has been part of the twenty seven years of disappointment thirty seven years of the unlikely that you see is from the same boat as mr mugabe they are cut from the same tree so it doesnt matter that present what appears to be a fresh deal it remains a pipe dream the people really want to see quick quiz selves that shows their lives.

Drawing up to with temperatures of ten degrees you know this frontal system developing might be pushing some rain across parts of iraq and then later on iran and the wiser on the eastern side of the mediterranean for most part weather conditions here at least through monday are not looking too bad lets combine in theory on the western side or looking find them medina twenty nine mecca thirty two warming up in riyadh temperatures recovering after whats been a quite a cool spell but there is this frontal system coming down which might give some rain here later on and it should largely disappears it heads into water catch up i wouldnt rule out the chance of a shower entirely here into southern portions of african see a lot of cloud east and across and go down through zambia and towards mozambique and the eastern side of south africa mozambique seen some significant share right to vittie but otherwise looking fine should be nice time with highs of twenty. Africa going through seismic changes few country stands out because its considered so successful why is. President of gonna. Talk to walsh. At this time. New yorkers are very receptive to it because it is such an International City theyre very interested in that global perspective that al jazeera provides. You are making very pointed remarks where theyre online the main u. S. Response to drug use and the drug trade over the last fifty years has been to criminalize or if you join us on say you know evil person just wakes up over the morning and says i want to cover the world in darkness this is a dialogue that could be what leading to some of the confusion online about people saying they dont actually know whats going on join the colobus conversation at this time on aljazeera. Reminder the top stories here on aljazeera the army has been called interest to the pakistani capital islamabad after more than one hundred fifty people were injured in violence between police and religious protesters. Egyptian military has launched a campaign in the sun in a region after an attack on a mosque which left more than three hundred people. Zimbabwes former finance minister Ignatius Trumbo has been held in custody until monday and a court will rule on his bail application on his corruption trial he was detained by the military during the takeover the force president Robert Mugabe from office. Zimbabwes new president is promising a range of reforms to try to revive the once thriving economy one of amisom and god was first move is to appeal to the full files and white farmers whose lands were violently seized under former leader in the year two thousand the move Drew International condemnation and International Sanctions contribution to zimbabwes economic slide from the breadbasket of africa to a country struggling with severe cash saw shortages and high unemployment while not says the action cannot be reversed hes offering the farmers compensation many of the zimbabwean farmers fled to neighboring zambia south africa botswana mozambique where theyre helping to transform the local farming industry with their expertise well for more on this were joined with from bath via skype by Charles Lowry from very risk maker croft risk and Strategic Consulting firm hes also author of the land reform deception political opportunism and zimbabwes land. Thanks very much for joining us on aljazeera first of all what do you think is actually going on with this offer of compensation to the white farmers who are long time ago since a lot of them were turfed off the land but why do you think hes announced say since so early on. I mean it has been a long time ago you know the seventeen years for many farmers i think it was a noteworthy statement i think hes calling out to be some barbarians but really to the International Community to say that this seems like an old issue but its absolutely paramount to zimbabwes Business Community is certainly paramount to zimbabwes Farming Community and what hes trying to say is thats true aligned to the south in the sounds and thats what the possible hind us and he wants to signal that symbolically its going to be a safe investment environment for businesses hes made it clear hes not to invest saying the land reform scheme so i take that to mean hes not offering to give them back any of the land is that how you read it thats how i read it as well and i think many people would say that thats the paul that makes the most sense one must remember that for effective farmers many have moved to other parts of the world they develop new lives they have new life new hoods and for individuals and some bond where you who took over those farms they have put in some cases up to seventeen years of investment in that land so it seems to make in the minds of many people little sense to try to wind back the clock and put things back how they were so i think what hes trying to do is take the next step which is to say lets legally resolve this issue and thats that and remain in the hands of many of the individuals who have it now a lot of people are blaming the states have the zimbabwean economy and the downward spiral really because of a lot to do with this land reform scale mean what do you think really have to concentrate on that to trying to ten the economy around. Well there are two elements when it comes to Something Like lampard is the explicit elements of not just farming i think its important to emphasize that its the average business industry its farmers but its all the businesses that support the farming industry the Fertiliser Companies the tractor suppliers the Chemical Companies so in at rivers ness you are talking of vost amount of employment potential employment was a mockery but i think the Bigger Picture here is what he says a link is zimbabwe is going to be a safer destination for all businesses of all kinds i think this is not just about farming this is about zimbabwe in business and one of they they come so my friends who are herring asenath it was clear that robin the governments going to go with the promise of new jobs and there would now be food on the shop sal of there would be a good product on the shop shelves how far away are they from really saying that its materialise well i think in terms of practical Business Development youre talking a very long time to get somebody back on its feet its really difficult to overstate just how utterly decimated the Business Community is you talking breakdowns in the currency a lot of skills shortages people have left the country the country taken a skills with them the infrastructure has degraded but i think given that the base is so low you can take some practical steps to help improve confidence and i think its the word confidence that needs to be reiterated thats what the community is looking for and i think in the lives of ordinary zimbabweans in the short term i think one can expect to see a lot of its National Support coming in provided mr won and got what puts the substance behind the words that we got to get your thoughts challenged larry that speaking to us on them in zimbabwe and you. German chancellor Angela Merkel says she doesnt want a new election and has promised to have a new government in place soon moguls partners in the outgoing government the center left social democrats initially refused to consider another coalition but on friday the s. P. D. Leader martin shorts reverse this position agreeing to hold talks merkel says she hopes the negotiations can proceed based on Mutual Respect or theres a. Nice invited so in the next election we must do better we must have solved more problems than we have today it is with this in mind that we must evaluate possible talks with the social democrats of course were prepared to talk but talks can only be conducted on the basis of Mutual Respect that must be clear. Saturday is the International Date for the elimination of violence against women rallies have been held in rome and paris where french president emmanuel macro announced a series of measures to tackle Sexual Violence nadine barber has this update. Well president obama has been stressing the main thing the golden cause of his five year term will be equality between men and women and he says that the first thing that needs to be tackled in that area is gender based violence Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment he held a minutes silence for one hundred twenty three women who were killed last year by their partners and then he went on to explain just why its so important for him listen to mom the feeling of horror and of shame resulting from the situation is i must say has taken specific importance since a little more than a year ago because it is shame that we talk about when one is at the same time a man and a public decider i cannot consider that wont were talking about today is something that was boring but now and acceptable now everybody was waiting to see what concrete proposals president. Would put forward he did say that there were many areas to be worked on in education for example training teachers to help pupils to get rid of stereotypes which can lead to gender based violence along the line and also strengthening the Police Responses and. Putting more resources into helping victims he did outline that in legislation that hes been going to put forward next year there will be a new offense basically of street harassment which can be punishable on the spot he also intends to extend the length of time that victims of Sexual Violence can take before filing a complaint from twenty years to thirty years so that if a woman was the victim of an assault when she was a minor she has thirty years to come forward and file a complaint he says that budgets are being increased between ministries by thirteen percent next year how quickly that will start to make a difference is hard to tell. Time magazine is denying a claim by President Donald Trump that he was told he was to be featured as person of the year trump said on twitter that Time Magazine called to say that i was probably going to be named man of the year like last year but i would have to agree to an interview and the major photo shoot i said probably is no good and took a pass thanks anyway Time Magazine says it never reveals the choice of person of the year until the issue is released. And if he isnt busy tweeting about magazine covers and World Politics president can usually be found playing golf even if his staff dont always acknowledge it and though he criticized his predecessor barack obama for playing too much is managed to surpass his record alan fischer has more. President trump for the birdie hes a king go for a very king goal for this first three hundred eight days in office President Donald Trump has been on the course almost a quarter of that time in fact in his First One Hundred days hes played more than any modern president hes played with Prime Ministers and politicians. Thought if he won the white house he would have to give it all up because im going to be working for you im not going to have time to go play golf donald trump isnt the first president to have a love affair with golf William Howard taft was the first to openly play the game white eisenhower loved it so much he did tree and the cabin named after him at Augusta National the home of the masters competition george w. Bushs exploits made it into a documentary i call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorist killers. Thank you. Now watch this drive. We have hope bad that looked from the second gulf war started he stopped playing clinton golf as did obama which takes us back to where we started with trumps tweets and criticisms obama it was reported today plato hundred fifty rounds of golf he played more jobs last year than tiger woods his staff really acknowledge when he hits the course insisting no matter where he is the president is always working when its tiger woods i dont call that were they one of the things that is i think reflective of his if you want to call a listener from office is the fact that there are numerous high level positions in every Single Department of the executive branch there go on feel because hes just lazy he hasnt even made nominations critics say after all the promises he made after all the speeches and all the tweets its surprising this president has spent as much time in the clubhouse as the white house alan fischer al jazeera.

A year ago the world took note of the passing of the last cold war warrior the revolutionary who created a communist state on the doorsteps of the United States in cuba a ten day mourning period paralyze the country on the anniversary of his death academics and communist Party Officials have been holding symposiums as part of a state push to keep castros example alive as the country faces new hostilities from washington i might probably get it where a part of its trumpet wants to return to the past for though was always looking to the future i think the way cuber is handling the situation and what is very little but many say castros passing has had no impact on it all the way the same nothing has changed as usual he wasnt the only person a certain sadness because he was our president but nothing more but cuba is inevitably moving towards change fidel castro is gone and in just three months his brother and successor will be stepping down which leads to the obvious question of what will become of the cuban revolution once theres no castro at the helm the answer in part depends on just how well the cuban state can keep the del castros bigger than life persona alive. You see in human ill just see how than now to fire and go all for the sport. So thank you so much japans or our reds are the asian football champions for the second time they beat saudi arabia side two one on aggregate to me in Champions League final on saturday the side had played out a one one draw in the first leg in riyadh last week and with no goals in the first half it looked like that would be enough to secure victory for the japanese side but al how had a man sent off in the seventy ninth minute just to be sure of victory brazilian rafael selfless scored for all raw in the eighty eight minute to make it one now on the day and to want to over all the last time won the a. F. C. Out title it was back in two thousand and seven well earlier i spoke to asian football expert Paul Williams he says the quality of play and the popularity of asian football is on the rise with all these five teams now in the world cup for the very first time from asia so that that suggests that there is some improvement in asia but it remains to be seen how those teams will perform at the world cup and then have that reflects more generally on the Club Football situation in asia you know that the clubs are improving year on year but there is still a big gap between a couple in asia and Club Football in europe and and thats going to take some some time for that gap to to shorten a little bit but certainly it is a good sign that there are five teams from asia in the world cup next year and hopefully if they do go well then that suggests that there has been some improvement over the last four years we see these big european teams come out to asia every year now to do their preseason two was and they get massive support you know sold out stadiums right across the continent wherever they go whether thats china japan South East Asia or even the middle east you know that the Club World Cup is coming out in the u. A. E. Shortly and youll see sold at stadiums you know whenever the big teams play there so i think that is the issue because there are so many football fans in asia but they they tend to follow. The best leagues in the world if you will if you want to. Put it like that you know england spain germany italy and that the fix that the passion in the interest in the local guy i mean in some areas there are some areas where thats thats not the case in s. F. These days or in particular there are some countries that are that theyve really passionate about football indonesia has one but there are others you know singapore and malaysia that it badly affected by fans who would prefer to follow european football than them for their own club teams and as i said that trend is changing ever so slowly but it is still an issue that fans you know as you prefer to watch football from another continent than support their own local exe you know there is the population in asia as asian football continues to develop you know i think its a significant portion of the World Population believe in asia so certainly that is the potential there but its still a long way away from ever reaching the heights of the u. A. E. The Champions League and i think will be many years before we ever see. The european Champions League but you know certainly as a nation football fanatic i do hope that we get to see it one day its the news barcelona fans have been waiting for star forward lean on messi has signed a new contract with the cloud that runs until the end of the two thousand and twenty to twenty one season with a buyout clause worth one hundred and thirty five Million Dollars the news comes a day after messi won his fourth goal in bid award for being europes highest score scorer last season he netted a total of five hundred and twenty three goals from barcelona in six hundred in two appearances and has helped them win eight League Titles and four Champions League crown since previous deal had been due to expire next year but he said he has always wanted to end his career at the club.
