This is you may not group it well thats not. New to you jr. Well look you. Who are. You. Sure. Its. Yuko kimura also known as screen idol is a t. V. Personality who dresses like a Railway Conductor shes invited me to meet at a railway themed. One of the most bizarre moments its like a crosssection of different cultures the Japanese Team in the stream which trains. That were going to see and they say whats going on. 5050. Of you wondering. If youre there with the whats your message is i dont think thats going to go the money or the coolant are going to come where you know you are in the mine and then when i saw the word is that this. Was. The. Tension. You just you know its not a sound that got or how i might think. This is that a given i. Cannot walk into the school when i dont see how the hood does it does it is. This so because again theyre fine even. More so. Its good that one of. The law does live in the me on the one of the top or the good i will say needs or something its declared and this is what is you know if you both. Know and i guess like you nor kummel made this car how. Silly other sources or so called i think it was the point is you saw this and theyre not actually doing every trade everything i mentioned. Have you on you know my mother mccuskey their core to settle down say our business side up on this and then they got up also bought this house get through to them it was on is it they want it the most their. Kids or the one or several dozen. And what this does is though that without the number of local full height there was a car you know from the Daiichi Miller dont underscore the right to here on the kind i dont want to see the law a little here on the ticket as i write i must go yes i know you can must. Fascination with the railway goes well beyond pop culture interest in trains also permeates modern japanese literature one of japans best known novelists economy sets one of his recent novels that shinjuku station in tokyo. Camorra gives guided tours of the platform for more economy fans i want to mention i got multiple. Associates any place that according. To their dancing got their. Dancing was it did they.

The local i thought this must get out the. People to come not the ball but i want to find out if i want to go to the cinema not go for the whole lot of they could do what id call the flag on the Front Companies and ill dance at the mall you know on the 9th ward is a little pick up you know. Well. This is the 1st time were going north of tokyo in 2 months often seen as somewhat of a back trip to paris much more rural a New Territory you know. Its a high rise buildings in tokyo many. Poets matsuo basho called this journey the narrow road to the deep north an area known for its beautiful but dangerous Natural Environment and a place still struggling to reconstruct following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami which wiped out communities towns and railway lines. With some and she moto was driving a local train on the Sanriku Railway the day the earth quake struck. The shaking i will take over to her sister. And shes saying. Some stuff. And. Qantas to you because you. Know the saying then from all this and that a lot of. The kind of want to hide. And this and not in hiding mr olson i mean cattle lots of anything. Going to get innocent. Tomato to me. And i didnt. Put exxon on or yes on the negative and getting. Anything noticeable thats what i did dont get some of the cynical you know i said what i do for the. High school to but i know that that would. Do something to whom doing something. Going and to get elected is not just the government that if you got caught in this column has got to have enough if you took one look. A lot of her friends were here as was the station in. This. Economy muscle. My emotional. And i mean you know body. Parts of the sound recoup weight were completely destroyed and rebuilding it was a crucial symbol of recovery for the region. Of oregon but theyre going to let us settle down. But despite all the reconstruction including massive and controversial seawalls many other rail lines have been left abandoned. Not that far down this way you hit the coastline and i remember writing about it being the most spectacular journey you could almost find anywhere in the country to be able to ride the rails within 2 meters of the waters edge japan ryo has said that it will reopen this line in 2018 minutes covered in we theres bits of track lying around. Its rusting away. Im not talking vince a baseline is something that anybody wants to invest money in reopening. I leave the north behind and head back to tokyo on my way to walk a yama to attend the funeral of tom a chance the station must a cat. Much loved her look here im the leader. But dont feel or. Look at the crowds of people who have gathered in front of this train so you dont feel up to much you will notice that something im going to talk about she was told was that a man that was going to make such a. Big knot of Nothing Happened is gonna go through the ceiling not enough. For just a ride to he she station wuky emma and i suspect in the behind the people god thing that be so many people have a stationary and is right. Several 1000 people including the National Media attend tammas funeral with messages sent from across japan. How much a is a symbol of peace i think it peace a little mind but can the walk again the electric railway continue to flourish under a new cat station must it makes you know who could head of the railway is up to mystic at the margin like youre going to go to new york then the whole dozen all possibly want to educate you about the. North how much you go i just didnt know that but i said how much am i saying that the you know. If your story is a monday view and you feel ok about it. Ok though. I dont know im open of it it would be easy to conclude that 10 a chance death is somehow a metaphor for the state of the railway in japan today with so many lines struggling to survive and so much being invested in an ultra high speed future linking megacities 2 but leaving much of the rest of the country behind the truth is as ever more complex. Japan is a country where people a passionate about their railway and a fighting to preserve it for themselves and for future generations having experienced both the rule railway and high speed i hope that is japan makes decisions about its future the one will not be neglected for the other. Night on the Galactic Railroad is a well known short story by japanese author kenji me as. Its a lyrical metaphor for our journey through life. Joyous voices resound it throughout the train and from far off in the cold distance of space came the sound of a trumpet blowing. And then the glass flute blew and the train began moving and a silver mist obscured the scene so they could see no more. Ive always been fascinated by space but the story of the space race isnt just about the men who risked their lives to travel into the unknown but the ones who held those lives in their hands the grandfather and his colleagues who worked on the space suits they designed the space suits apollo 11 was his triumph. And the patrick he designed space suits his legacy putting on the moon on aljazeera. Hell or you may have heard that the great lakes are quite high in their water level given the amount of snow we had on right weve had recently and this spinning top here meant that the wind has also been blowing across those those like the top for example in rochester new york theres been water being blowed if you like over land but in a whole lot further south the more usual where this line of green here which is within the zone of 30 reasons i suggest yet again big showers or persistent rain where both are likely to fall when i think about the big shout from virginia down towards texas is line a great he will be the ones that we should watch during monday there are a few other showers further west up in the Higher Ground but back on the Pacific Coast temps return to near normal San Francisco at about 21 degrees in the caribbean as you know has been full of cloud recently was frequent showers the clouds thinning to some degree in the Lesser Antilles the green here up in cuba around the bahamas still suggests frequent showers probably sundry and over mexico to the yucatan not so many showers on sunday but further south in the Pacific Coast is more likely to be a good feed there so that was guatemala and el salvador big showers are still quite likely. As governments fail to cut emissions scientists are proposing drastic measures to save the planet. People and power ways technological endeavors to counter humanitys pollutants against the risks of further meddling with the environment feel like this is playing god its actually quite unsettling and quite frankly makes me quite anxious. Kalina attack us on our jazeera. This is the opportunity to tell their evil way where there. Is a we dont believe. This is al jazeera. Peter w. Watching the news hour live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes the Saudi Crown Prince blames iran for the tanker explosions in the gulf of oman. Yemens hoofy rebels attacked 2 saudi airports one of them for the 3rd time in a week retaliate by hitting targets in sanaa. Hong kong activists say theyre going ahead with their mass protests against a controversial extradition bill even though its been put on hold. A legend and the targets of racial abuse australias difficult relationship with one of its greatest sportsman. Lets get going saudi arabias crown prince has blamed iran for the explosions on 2 tankers in the gulf of oman on thursday in an interview mohammed bin sama says quote the Iranian Regime did not respect the japanese prime ministers visit to iran and while he was there replying to his efforts by attacking 2 tankers one of which was japanese. Saudi arabia also demanding more security for shipping routes after those explosions crewmembers of one of the vessels have now arrived in dubai iran has dismissed accusations that it was involved it summoned the British Ambassador to the u. K. Back to the allegations which were 1st voiced by the United States Mohammed Vall has more now from the omani capital. More investigation is taking place apparently the americans have sent a team to board one of the 2 tankers that have been hit to collect more evidence and that follows the video that was released by the americans purporting to show grainy and removing an unexploded mine from the home of one of the ships iran has denied being behind these attacks but also the foreign minister of the United Arab Emirates has said that his country submitted more evidence to the Security Council and that it was clear evidence that the incidents were state sponsored hidden automation by the name but we know that the United Arab Emirates and saudi arabia have from day one supported the american version of events and they said they believe that iran has been behind these attacks whats not clear now is whether the preparations the war preparations on the american side are an indication of an s. K. Real explanation and an open war thats going to take place in this region or whether its a way to put more pressure on iranians to come to negotiation tables the americans are saying that they are capable of waging a war and submitting iran forcing iran to stop sabotaging the waterways of the gulf and disrupting oil supplies to the wall iranians on the other hand are saying that they have not done and its in anything wrong but if forced to war they are ready to defend themselves so on both sides we have this double talk about war and peace at the same time their arms president has reiterated that his country will continue to pull back from its Nuclear Deal Commitments unless other countries protected from american sanctions only speaking at a summit into the stone smith reports from the capital. Irans president has used a conference in tajikistan of leaders and diplomats from more than 30 countries to reinforce an ultimatum he made in may thats when his son rouhani said tehran will start enriching uranium at a higher level unless world powers protect its economy from u. S. Sanctions within 60 days that would be a breach of irans commitments to the nuclear deal known as the j. C. P. O. A agreed with those powers. Its obvious that iran cannot unilaterally remain committed to the joint comprehensive plan of action and its necessary that other countries contribution to the survival of this important agreement with our good will and strategic tolerance on one hand and the United States lawlessness on the other hand its been proven to everyone republic of iran while announcing its readiness for any interaction has decided to reduce its obligations under paragraph 26. 36 of the plan of action to restore balance the 2050 Nuclear Agreement restricts irans ability to enrich uranium in return for relief from a u. S. Led sanctions it was signed by the u. S. And the u. K. Germany france china russia and the e. U. But the Trump Administration unilaterally withdrew from the deal last year a decision russian president Vladimir Putin said in tajikistan he didnt agree with but games should be used in their eyes when we believe that the only sensible decision is for all deal participants to on a commitments as a russia is ready to do and for katters emir to men been hammered all funny there was a chance for his 1st meeting with the iranian president with an ongoing 2 year blockade by egypt bahrain the u. A. E. And saudi arabia catarrh is increasingly reliant on access to iranian airspace and trade routes while iran is looking for Regional Support theres been no mention here of the attacks on the 2 tanker. In the gulf on the thursday the u. S. Blames iran for that iran says its played no role both countries accuse each other of destabilizing the middle east and now theres just 2 weeks to go before irans ultimatum for sanctions relief expires burnitz with aljazeera. Needed me is the director of the center for middle east studies at the university of denver he says there are a number of players in the region who would benefit from a war with iran. Well i think you know theres a number of countries that are really. You know egging the United States on begging them to sort of launch a war with iran number one the israelis have been you know behind this for a very long time the saudis the m. R. Atis so you know there there is a small possibility that there might be involvement in some sort of sabotage or you know trigger event here in the gulf to start a war but i think you know these recent attacks the evidence that we have up until now points to iranian government involvement theres a lot of evidence to suggest that iran has played a role you know in these attacks but you know as as you hinted in as i just stated you know there are other countries here that you know have been waiting for this opportunity to try and start a broader regional war with the United States will lead the charge against the Islamic Republic of iran possibly hoping to initiate some sort of regime change or rollback of irans regional position sudrajat so if it gets in the yemeni capital sanaa who feel rebels attacked to saudia ports a spokesman for the who sees as explosive laden Drones Target its Led Coalition military highness and control rooms design an airport and further east for a 3rd time in a week they claim to have attacked the port but saudi media is saying the strike at the facilities fuel station was foiled by a security forces. Is a member of the whos the Political Office he says the only way to end the war is to carry out attacks on saudi arabia. Well i have a jimmy and. It is a clear contradiction from saudi and immunity media because they always downplay the significance of these drone strikes but in return they rushed to urge the International Community to stand by them in condemning the attacks in a bid to stop us from carrying more strikes but that shows that these drone attacks are the right thing to do because at the end of the day only this will end the saudi n. U. E. Aggression against yemen every time we meet International Officials we only hear them focusing on our missile and drone attacks and this is again shows that only this operation will be the way to end this war and now it has more from the capital sanaa solid fighter jets targeted the capital sanaa in retaliation to the whole thing on booth and prods the. Targeted streets to the west of the capital sanaa no casualties have been reported so far also have attacked the engineering military camp which is all sorts of the north of the capital. Such military camp has been targeted by the saudi fighter jets over the past 4 years. The whole fees say they dont have anything to lose after 4 years of 1st saudi continue that and that retaliation for what they say the attacks on the saudi airports and. Which i resolved today and the destruction of what the. Army spokesperson said the destruction of the Navigation System on the fuel gas station and also the destruction of the hunger of draws in jayson ministroke targeting homes in the southeast of tripoli has injured 6 people women and children among the wounded in the ongoing offensive by the warlord after to seize control of the libyan capital head as more. Once again to have his fighter jets target civilian areas in tripoli and again in a neighborhood thats in the southern eastern part of tripoli these houses were damaged by the explosion caused by the airstrike launched by have to use fighter jets the neighbors here say that they are in a state of panic theyre very angry and theyre wondering why the International Community is not doing enough to stop the military aggression on civilians in that house there is a clear damage in that house and the owner of that house says that 6 members 6 of his family members were wanted by explosions including get 2 women and a child. And suddenly we were in shock and speechless the windows shattered and it became dark it was a nightmare and we didnt realize what was happening we should we got. These cars here. These are civilian cars would also damage it by the explosion and meanwhile that is a cardiology hospital nearby which was also partly damaged by the explosion and the government of national called this accusing have to its forces of committing war crimes by targeting civilian areas. At least 10 people have been killed in the strikes in syria the syrian observatory for human rights says government airstrikes hit residential neighborhoods in the province of dozens of others were injured syria and russia have increased their bombardment of the region since april forcing thousands from their homes. Plenty more still to come for you here on the news hour including this one to the philippines president demands after fishermen were left stranded at sea on a chinese ship allegedly rammed their boat plus. The big reasons were. You dont have to count the cash you dont have to reconcile the cash is a new trend in the us some stores are no longer accepting cash but what if you dont have a debit or credit card.
