Spirits are high we are peaceful and not discouraged we are not afraid of the tourist we will be attending go places of worship. South africas ruling a. N. C. Has been in power since the end of apartheid in the one nine hundred ninety s. But in the face of several corruption scandals political infighting and threats of a split the party is voting for a new leader to replace outgoing jacob zuma the new head of the African National congress will lead the party into the two thousand and nineteen general elections Current Deputy president so ram opposer and prisoners zuma the media were formally nominated as candidates on sunday the battle for the top job has exposed deep divisions within the ruling party its bring in tanya page whos at the n. C. Convention in johannesburg where the vote counting is underway can you give us a sense of when we are likely to get a result tanya. We would all like to know jane i think because effectively theyre running a day. Hind because of legal challenges as you alluded to this a very hotly contested basso that wound up in several of the countrys courts much to the chagrin of president zuma who lashed out at the judiciary at the media at all his deceived in amaze in his opening speech to the conference voting just got underway off to midnight and there was a lot of emotion in the room some delegates were shouted down by others after making suggestions to the voting process people what have you got and we just heard a big crowd of in courses on it let me zoom is supposes singing their praises and hoping maybe that they may be able to influence some of the last few voters we understand that the counting is underway they may have to do a second count if its particularly close then all of the delegates will be informed so you can expect a lot of rumors to be flying around around that time is the results come out on officially and after that in the public will be told so i realistically i think were still several hours off that i get to tell us more about the fact is a rounding this vote and the conference and how much whats happening inside the Conference Center is reflecting whats happening in the country. Well everybody every South African is and should it matter is what really happens here because this is all being framed a few lying because its a battle for the heart and soul of the a. N. C. Do people want to see a serious break from the style of leadership the staal of presidency and governance of the current president jacob zuma or will they want to you know a great change basically so under president zuma theres been sort of a system of patronage worked out whereby a lot of members of the a. N. C. Are able for government contracts to to be employed to to seek lucrative. Government deals and that has led to a lot of allegations of corruption and of course we know that really since the beginning of his tenure in the end she. The president has been really ball down under under a weight of contra controversy going way back to a child she was acquitted of corruption charges around a multimillion dollar deal that may be coming back to haunt him all those things so theres a real split in the and see as to whether to continue with the successor to him which it seems he would prefer and. Whos really struggled and is trying to sometimes defend herself against this decision that she might lead to a continuation of that sort of environment or make a breaking go with deputy president. Who promises that the economy is going to be his focus clean governance hes spoken out very strongly against corruption never specifically named president zuma of course he still has to has been having to work underneath him and hes drawn some criticism for that as well so for example the main opposition the democratic alliances leader has said you know youre sort of a silent critic if you like im sorry quite a stark contrast in the main contenders and we should know in the coming hours exactly whos come out on top all right thank you for that on your page. It is Prime Minister has declared victory in two state elections including a closely fought race in his home state of gujarat in a random order that found photos for the trust in the ruling be j. P. On twitter the party or summat is just snatched from the Opposition Congress party in him Michelle Pradesh devika pollen as more from iraqs largest city of mother but. The b j p may have retained power but this race was watched so closely as its being called the political fight of the century in the state of Good Congress has for the first time launched a campaign thats made to be j. P. Nervous and made many believe that congress could actually win over the states but alas they fell short of seats although they have taken away seats from the b j p this also has been watched closely by the rest of the country as the countrys Prime MinisterNarendra Modi had a personal stake in this is his home state he came here personally to campaign on behalf of the b j p a loss for him would have been a loss of faith and a lack of confidence in his policies now what these elections have done is raise certain issues in the state particularly unemployment inflation and the fact that the States Economic growth is not benefiting everyone particularly the rural population and those of low income. Was editor of hard news a Current Affairs magazine he joins us now from new delhi good to see you how much of a victory is this from already. Yes it has been a very tough battle for mr modi for the last one and a half months hes done precious little but to campaign in good rather address seventy five Public Meetings and all its ministers have been parked in good rudd because as your. Correspondent said sid had he had a serious case because a loss in the drug would have hurt him in the country he would hes the only woodcutter the party has and then his doctor they started plummeting and the opposition was sensing a. Rechargeable gun the the leader the Congress Party recently appointed as a president the party thought that they would ride the tree could really propel him into a different job it all together and its a lot of the others especially in the congress i think this is resuscitated the Congress Party enough are we likely to see more successes coming their way and i and im talking about the increasing numbers that they got this time. If you look at the map i think congress has had a meeting but there are now fifteen states with the media given powers so the entire country seemingly is colored the saffron. The b. G. P. But the common thing it would has a reason for some cheer for gandhi who worked very hard over the last one and a half months and it managed to give create an impression that. We can be beaten and he made the party look very vulnerable but now the results show that hes not done too badly with a little bit of more bush and Better Organization he could have put across the ruling party there which has been in power for the last twenty two years and now they get five more years so in a certain way the congress what you seem to be divided apply for elections which are coming up next year because india is you know having elections all through the you know every year they have some elections where theres four five Assembly Elections coming up for next year and theyre very crucial for the Congress Party especially in the Southern State of cannot act so if congress manages to hang on or maybe build on what they did in. Big case theyll have a reason to feel that they are better for it to try the election in two thousand one hundred when you have the Parliament Elections son jacob thank you. The u. N. Security council will vote late on monday on a draft resolution regarding the status of jerusalem it follows a u. S. Decision to recognize jerusalem as israels capital the move has sparked almost two weeks of protests around the world there was more anger across the palestinian territory of a night with protesters burning effigies of u. S. President donald trump and israels leader benjamin netanyahu. Egypt is circulating the draft resolution calling for the u. S. Recognition of jerusalem to be withdrawn it states that any decisions and actions which purport to have ultimate the character status or demographic composition of the holy city of jerusalem have no legal effect on now and void and must be rescinded in compliance with relevant relevant resolutions of the Security Council mike hanna has the details from new york. But draft resolution being circulated in the United Nations has been drawn up by egypt with input from other parties it would appear now the resolution may change in form or shape before its actually voted upon probably in the scumming day however the resolution as it stands at the moment does not mention the us by name i understand that various parties such as the United Kingdom and indeed egypt wanted to try and keep the language as neutral as possible in an attempt possibly vain to keep the u. S. From exercising its veto within the Security Council the resolution as it stands at the moment is actually a restatement of the uns position on jerusalem as outlined through decades of Security Council and general assemblies a resolution the most recent being in november this year in which the General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to declare any unilateral acts in jerusalem as null and void that phrase null and void is contained in the current draft resolution the draft resolution calls on all states to refrain from establishing Diplomatic Missions within jerusalem i understand the palestinians somewhat angered they didnt want to single out the u. S. By name however it appears from this draft resolution that egypt and the u. K. Have had their way too in attempt to avoid the u. S. Veto however it would appear that that vetoes likely to happen with israels enthusiastic backing which describes the resolution as a palestinian attempt to reinvent history despite the fact that it is rooted on u. N. Resolutions as they stand at present but palestinians making very clear that should the u. S. Veto this resolution in the Security Council they will attend to have it reintroduced in the General Assembly where theres nobody to at play. Israeli military says it has attacked a hamas training compound off the rockets were fired from the palestinian territory of gaza this video is said to show the israeli airstrike on the hamas facility no deaths were reported it was in response to two rockets being fired into israeli territory where no one was killed rocket strikes from gaza have increased since the u. S. Moved to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. Plenty more ahead on the news on creating ha chile moved to the right as billionaire Sebastian Pinera returns to power plus.

The state of qatar is marking its national day looking at live pictures now of a military parade underway on the waterfront the image of cattle and other senior government officials are taking part its a commemoration of the gulf countries unification eight hundred Seventy Eight but this is celebrations come as the gulf region deals with a six month long crisis saudi arabia the u. A. E. In an egypt cut ties with qatar in june accusing it of funding terrorism a charge has strongly denied its going to mohammed he joins us live from the waterfront talk us through what were seeing and whats been happening throughout the day mohammed. This event has started about one hour ago and as you have seen for half an hour now weve been witnessing this huge display of military might this military parade what is going behind the camera for streets against the sun was to show it but look at this crowd stretching also far as the eye can see these people came here. Many hours ago to attend this event and we have seen this ex of all the nitty mixing of expired to your communities coming here to show their solidarity with qatar and before i. Leave this point many events are taking place today and they are organized specifically by asian communities in qatar it is a unique show of solidarity as i said by these acts partly to communities with qataris in this specific circumstance and also we have seen a little while ago that amazing display of military might in the fighter jets drawing lines in the sky including a big heart in the skyline of the how its all in the it comes all in the innocence of a letter a message sent by qatar in this particular circumstance about the country is in good shape despite six months of blockade by its neighbors gulf neighbors three of them and also egypt that has been trying to show today that it has been able to absorb that shock and it has been able to compensate for losses that it has received because of the middle of the of the of the economy blockade eighty percent of its imports came before the blockade from its neighbors and now its house compensated by importing from other countries so its a mixture of messages military economic social and all boils down to the to the fact that qatar has been able to emerge stronger from this blockade and from this a crisis that has been imposed on it six months ago i thank you for that. The u. S. President is due to unveil his National Security strategy in the coming hours hes expected to take aim at americas j. A political rivals and identify important global challenges to american men as well from washington d. C. Thank you very much for the you know from the outset donald trump is focused on undoing or redirecting his predecessors priorities on the world stage but his rhetoric hasnt yet been matched by measurable change generally hes followed the same policy and he may have wanted to radically change our policy toward russia but hes been unable to do that. In his National Security message mandated by Congress Trump is expected to brand both russia and china as quote revisionist powers whom america must recognize as adversaries despite drums and willingness to say a bad word about Vladimir Putin i feel that having russia in a friendly posture as opposed to always fighting with them is an asset to the world hes grudgingly approved added sanctions against russia which obama launched to retaliate for the reported cyber intrusions into the american electoral process since taking office trump has softened his campaign language about china which he did cues to economically abusing the u. S. We cant continue to allow china to rape our country. The president has escalated his verbal bluster and shows of military muscle in response to north koreas mounting nuclear threats. But a clear course of action has been muddied by friction between the white house and secretary of state Rex Tillerson a few days after he suggested talking to the pyongyang government quote without preconditions tillerson fell back in line with the administrations tougher tone our Communication Channels remain open north korea knows theyre open. They know where the door is they know where to walk through that door when they want to talk. After claiming much of the credit for ousting eisel from its strongholds white house National Security adviser ager mcmaster promised the u. S. Would prevent a fractured iraq from turning into an iranian client state we are committed to want to Work Together with kurdish leadership iraqi leadership mediate as best we can and to also limit the destabilizing influence of of others in the region but the administration has deferred action on its threat to abandon the Iran Nuclear Deal at the risk of isolation from americas western partners to the agreement. Yet trump has reversed course on one of obamas prime National Security concerns Climate Change this despite the pentagons judgment that over time Global Warming will destabilize more governments and societies with unforeseen consequences tom ackerman aljazeera washington. Peace talks aimed at ending south sudans civil war due to get underway in the ethiopian capital at this hour but its four years now since the conflict broke out which has forced more than a third of the population from their homes representatives of both south sudans president salva kiir and rebel leader are expected to attend have a morgan has more from juba. This round of talking that you can capital addis ababa is regarded as the last chance. To end the civil war which started in december twenty third team and i was employed by the Peace Agreement which was august twenty fifth here in the capital juba but then a fighting broke out in the capital in july last year between the rivaling forces the government and the opposition and the wrecked my car after which records are declared the Peace Agreement has collapsed now the intergovernmental body on our development into Governmental Authority under development i got a regional blog as well around the region the point is that africa sudan kenya and ethiopia to try to bring together all the were inside not just the opposition under it much are and the government the different other factions that have emerged after the fighting in july last year to try to iron out their differences and look for the way halward to end the conflict in faster than regional partners and International Dollars which are backing the Peace Agreement have described as a critical and unique round of talks to end the conflict and i thought maybe the only way forward for south sudan and like it was to keep on fighting for years to come chile has become the latest latin American Country to shift to the political right by electing conservative billionaire Sebastian Pinera as president pinera overcame the center left opponents in the run of folks its the second time hes been elected a latin america editor lucien human reports from santiago. Chile is billionaire president elect got what he wanted another crack at the presidency for the second time in twenty seven years chile has swung from the center left to the center right both times for civil stamp the bark its favorite. The former president a successful businessman promises better times ahead as he extends an olive branch to the uk if he does i want to renew our commitment to old chileans a commitment to unity and dialogue and so i invite all of the previous president s to share their experience and advise with me so that we can reach National Agreements to tackle the biggest problems. At the headquarters of center left candidate. There were long faces i had run on the promise of accelerating the social reforms started by the current government of president Michelle Bachelet but the former journalists inexperience and chilly sluggish Economic Growth ultimately gave the conservatives the upper hand painted a has been linked to several shady business deals and political scandals but clearly it did not matter i think the general issue is that politicians announce a discredited the people just assume they are lions will be for whatever and then choose between the lesser of two evils and have made their decision joining the recent latin american swing towards the political right now but it is going to get out would not have an easy time of it not only because the electorate has proven itself to be more demanding but also because you will not enjoy a majority in the legislature. Which means speaking it i will have a hard time rolling back on still popular social reforms as is happening in brazil and neighboring argentina government is going to be more of an administrative go its going to going to be very similar to what we saw in his first term in power is going to be more short term oriented its going to be related to jobs but this time rounds of a stamping it out will have to be less accommodating to the Business Elite the election has shown the chileans have become far more demanding and are expecting results no matter how hard they may be to deliver. The sea and human agassi done something. In the central philippines at the. Twenty six people have been killed in landslides caused by truck a Tropical Storm talk with an eighty thousand people have fled their homes since the storm hit really run island on saturday fresh water and electricity supplies have been cut to most of the island bridges have also been damaged hampering rescue efforts nearly eleven hours after the electrical outage shut down parts of the worlds busiest airports power has been restored at atlantas Hartsfield Jackson international more than a thousand flights were canceled on sunday because of the outage airport Authorities Say an electrical fire was the cause as him just type reports. After hours of near darkness five. Lights flicker back on atlantas Hartsfield JacksonInternational Airport much to the delight of exhausted travelers i started to worry. Yeah yeah you know im just excited to be. Going now we can power up our cell phones it is just wonderful look around the airplanes happy again. But not everyone is happy while the power has been restored the travel chaos continues i literally spent a whole seven hours on an airplane without food or water and then they finally let us off they finally let us off too and then i walk into a dark room where everyone sleeping on the floor and i still havent got my confirmation i was on the phone with delta for about two hours still nothing the southern u. S. Airport is one of the worlds busiest more than one thousand flights were grounded after it plunged into darkness over eleven hours on sunday just days before the start of the Christmas Travel rush passengers say airport staff appeared ili quick to deal with the power outage and that there was little help from First Responders they have these elderly people with handicapped people lined up the little cheers like twenty that could not do nothing because it could get down the escalator and its sad that people are helpless they cant get out they cant get downstairs. I mean it was this is a nightmare. The outage was caused by a fire in an underground electrical facility it was apparently so intense it damaged two substation serving the airport including its redundant system that should have provided backup power and investigation is under way power is estimated to be restored by midnight so i would like to thank you all for your consideration. Atlanta is the heart of the u. S. Air transport system and is a hug. For Delta Airlines airport officials have promised services will return to normal by monday afternoon a major challenge to help the nearly thirty thousand travelers impacted n. P. R. Style aljazeera its not just in atlanta i believe where travelers have been suffering germany too has suffered something similar but obviously weather problems of a different breed yeah whenever you go to europe at this time of year theres always the risk when i saw it coming at you and thats exactly what weve seen here in parts of germany so its thanks to this weather system here and so weve seen scenes like this this morning frank for air for over one hundred seventy flights had to be canceled in the end because of the bad weather but things all reproving across that region at the moment and thats because the system is just slipping away towards the south and behind it its turning quite a bit cooler for many of us though theres the area of cloud and thats bringing a snow and rain on its leading edge and then behind it is where the fresh air is lots of snow as you might expect over the mountains and then as it works its way southward behind it things are turning that little bit fresher so madrid then you see the temperatures not much different during the day there generally get to around eleven degrees but its jury in the night that youll see them dropoffs a maximum of around two to zero so a minimum of around two degrees tonight with that cloud around but then during the night tomorrow night well get to around minus two so a real change for us and then as we head through into wednesday that system will disintegrate all together well see more cloud of rain over parts about urea and into choose but then another weather system will think its way southward across parts of germany so germany again on wednesday is expecting quite a bit of wintery weather for the eastern parts of europe well plenty of snow first then as we head through the next few days actually begins to improve that snow around.

You watching our top stories votes are being counted after thousands of delegates from south africas ruling party voted for their new leader the new head of the African National congress will lead the party into the two thousand and nineteen general elections. In his Prime Ministers declared victory in two states elections including a closely for grace in his home state of gujarat. For their trust in the ruling party. Instead of cats as marking its national day of that dramatic Live Performance in the skies the celebrations come as the gulf region deals with a six month long crisis. Military chiefs in zimbabwe have officially ended they operation that forced former president Robert Mugabe to resign it was launched last month as concerns grew over who would replace zimbabwes longtime leader the intervention pave the way for his former deputy. To take power i mean joins us from harare im just wondering what the army had to say about all of this are. Well when the military intervened and put under house arrest on the fifteenth of november they said that they were doing it to weed out criminal elements people surrounding themselves around Robert Mugabe people they accused of trying to destroy the country since then some people have been arrested the most senior being the former finance minister. Others have fled their runaway thought to be in kenya or africa and weve seen soldiers stationed in some parts of the capital harare theyve been doing joint patrols with the police to maintain law and order a lot of soldiers still at the airport but the army said that they feel the situation has returned back to normal the process they called Operation Restore legacy is now over and theyre saying that theyve had over all day to day duties of the police back to the police and that situation is back to normal in the country what is the reaction been from zimbabweans to this announcement. Some people liked having the soldiers on the street back a sense of control a sense of order in the city in particular specially when dealing with the police a lot of them are corrupt motorists were tired of being asked for huge bribes from the police the army joint patrols with the police made sure that this extortion didnt happen some people are concerned that the army is not going to be doing some of those patrols they feel the police will go back to the old corrupt ways that is one concern but others saying that soldiers belong in the barracks especially when a country is appearing for elections next year they say you can have people campaigning people registering to vote people voting when soldiers are still roaming around so mixed feelings on the ground but right now the sentiment is of course from the army that the situation is back to normal people wait and see how the next few days pan out without seeing a lot more of the soldiers on the streets jane thanks for that her. Back now to our top story the a. N. C. Vote in johannesburg is the Political Editor for power nine hundred seventy Radio Station good to have you with us on aljazeera to a long and painful wait isnt it tell us what youre hearing from there how long is it going to take is anyone coming out on top. Its always good to speak she saw that figure gets to say goodbye to president jacob zuma today after ten years of rule when president jacob zuma walks into office about. About in two thousand and nine we had a five percent Economic Growth rate when he leaves office weve had zero point three percent Economic Growth rate so when the new president gets elected here today after ten years of being president many here at the conference and in south africa as a whole are hoping it will improve south africas economic potential four thousand seven hundred and six. Seven delegates have cast their votes its been counted and having covered these conferences before it doesnt get counted once it gets counted six or seven times. Tonight the a. N. C. Should have a new. Candidate having spoken to the opposition earlier this morning i can tell you they are quivering just a little bit because their election researched is. Elected a. N. C. President likely to win the twenty nineteen general elections so the opposition are hoping that. Zuma gets elected president we should know by the end of the day and it will either be celebrations here. And celebrations in the streets of johannesburg or a more economic depression for the country so thats what the opposition wants we know who they want but what do you think the country needs at the moment you say can only be better with jacob zuma having to finally step down but whos going to be able to clean up the corruption clean up the countrys reputation bring back the investment that is so desperately needed. To put my head on the block and thats what many analysts have done here in south africa theyve all said. Is what is the best for the country but the reality is that the a. N. C. Has six hundred thousand the members those six hundred thousand members have nominated four thousand seven hundred and sixty seven delegates to come to this conference now the whole of the support base which is ten Million People and the whole of south africas population which is fifty five Million People watching its not up to us its about those four thousand seven hundred and sixty seven delegates that will make the choice but if you look at our local Government Election results in twenty sixteen and. National and provincial results follow the same pattern in twenty nineteen if. Not elected a. N. C. President in the a. N. C. Is going to suffer in the elections theres also the issue of generational mix that has raised its head here at the a. N. C. Its conference opposition leaders are quite young you look at the likes of Julius Malema from the fair few look at the likes of musi my money from the da and they are in their mid thirtys while the candidates contesting for the election somewhere in this seventies and that needs to be watched closely so if the a. N. C. Does not make the right election decision today in terms of its president ial election it could lose elections in south africa in twenty nine or very good to get your thoughts thank you. The un is calling on countries to ensure the safety of people on the move as the world observes International Migrants day the total number of International Migrants has increased from an estimated one hundred seventy five million in two thousand and two hundred forty four million in two thousand and fifteen nearly two thirds of those migrants are living in the europe or asia and one in every ten is a child under the age of fifteen the greek government has begun closing some of the refugee camps across the country as it continues with its policy of integration and a fee to camp north of athens was closed in early november while many of its seven hundred residents have been moved to apartments in athens some want to stay put journal reports. While busy continues to store those of the refugee routing to europe in a little warehouse north of athens some lives a changing for the better right know yes. Im. Happy now im ready to have you have. Come a spring. Here refugees from afghanistan pakistan and iran run a business making bags and backpacks using old tents and other material from the camp they wants lived in i cant afford like a movie i take care of my children better as long as i have a job here. I happy to stay here Lisa Campbell founded the ngo that set up this business what it does is give them a reason to be able to stay here because they are safe here their kids can go to school here they have medical care here there are there are reasons to stay angry if you have a job. The greek government has closed a number of refugee camps on the mainland preferring to try and integrate refugees into society all that remains of camp is the sitemap and whatever these budding entrepreneurs could salvage this is a pile of beds recovered from a recently closed refugee camp this canvas will soon be turned into designer items it is if you like upcycling of the refugee crisis this business turning a lot of misery into a little bit of hope and happiness made in greece here at least the exercise in integration is going well so i think its a great improvement for the area and people can get to know what these refugees and organizations are doing. But Lisa Campbell knows theyre really only scratching the surface of a much bigger problem i want to know that ive done made a difference in these lives. And maybe the example somebody else can pick up and maybe other people can do the same thing to help those thousands upon thousands of others. But its a start and the bags are selling like hotcakes online. Aljazeera greece then a dual is director of communications for the International Organization for migration he joins us on skype from new york very good to see you again not much to celebrate on this day is there sadly. Well i think its important that we focus on you know this event that weve had this year and that is raising awareness about the importance of having safe migration around the world. Rather than focus on the death as you rightly say lets focus on how we can make life safer for migrants and especially those who are being treated abysmally in Detention Centers in libya as were drowning on the high seas and thats part of that were having im here in unicef house in new york where were having a daylong then including extraordinary Art Exhibition showing the life of fijis through their baggage you can see im not sure i get tell us what that is to celebrate then how far has the International Community gong to protect migrants Migrant Workers and to stop the some happening in the festus. Well as well happening in terms of Migrant Workers and getting the employers to pay for the Migrant Workers who are hired rather than force the Migrant Workers to pay in advance two or three months of their salary thats something that were working on at the International Organization for migration were getting a lot of support from the Big Big Companies to do that in terms of people who are on the move a lot of efforts going on to ensure that those who are intentions are being taken out of detention in libya so just just to just for example the African Union has asked following the c. N. N. Report on slavery in libya to take fifteen thousand people out to people fifteen thousand people being removed from detention in the next two weeks kind of a kind of impressed i think. The conversations that you have with governments i should imagine that theyd be keen to get involved in order to make it better the impact positively on the government then doesnt it well one of the issues is that migration has become a very toxic issue for people. In the media especially in the in the populist media migration has become an issue to bash migrants with as if theyre somehow guilty of a crime or seeking to improve their lives we take the view that you need to have management reach and you can. Borders but if you have closed borders you give money and value and opportunities to exploiters like smugglers and traffickers to to really abuse people who has been managed process and not true here is all about as we move towards a Global Compact to migration which will allow countries to just think through how you better manage migration to for the benefit of individuals then a dial thank you thank you very much. Concern is growing over the fate of a chinese artist who disappeared after making online posts critical of Chinas Communist Party or young is thought to be in Police Custody after filling protests against forced evictions his last act was to post a video obvious two year old daughter which has been widely shared online china correspondent a.

Now were going to chat about this some more with a neutral perspective in the form of the premier chen duran hes the former editor of this din india and joins us from bangalore why have australia managed to win the series so easily i think its very simple really theyve won all the big moments moments when the games have been in the balance their big players have stood up and been counted steve smith the captain was crucial in brisbane in the close human again. And each of the baseball is a little bit new england you know its. Two its a games and in new clothes im just not going to do that so well strictly as captain steve smith scored two hundred and thirty nine runs in this test match a lot of people saying that he is the best batsman in the world right now but what makes him so great do you think. I think his ability to adapt to cross conditions with me earlier this year he came to india which is an extremely difficult assignment the most this thing that he made two hundred exceptional batting in very tough conditions and hes gone back home and made these round weve made friends in england in the past in new zealand so all over the world and i just said ability to keep churning up the road so consistently i think is what just sets him apart from others and the test match that. But does he deserve a place as some are suggesting among the all time greats of cricket. I would say so i think you definitely well on the way there. You probably want to give him a couple more years to do them so a couple more big series but right now you car with the body of work these put together its been immense especially in the last four seasons ok it seems like each of these teams do really well at home. But not as visitor is so what does that mean does that have does it have something to do with the popularity of cricket. I think it its going to a lot to do with the fact that the conditions in england nasiriyah are very different and touring teams get much less time to claim tears now compared to say twenty or thirty years ago and that gives the home teams a big advantage and you see thats the case of india england australia all these teams very strong in their own conditions tend to struggle a bit when they go away to morrow ok duleep premier tender and thank you so much for your time.
