How can you allow this shy from it years soul box almost every 2 weeks he died in cranial him or is it means the bleeding inside the brain. Brain specialist professor just the board wants to see children banned from the ring she spent 5 years scanning the brains of hundreds of child fighters. And found shocking evidence that would tie causes irreversible brain damage. To what it really. Going to be a doctor ok we look at the brain of the mocks of kits. She found old bleats from repeated head injuries that cause damage to the brains nerve cells. It has a lot of all black. Accumulated in there when it ecumenism in there it means that they had injury and in the old that is cell it will act as a new or old system the damage to the brain for the.

So what would you like to see happen in the law when it comes to kids boxing in thailand. As the Sport Authority a pilot. Maker in pilot. Juicing the kids younger than 15 years old as a professional boxer. This is what we want you just want to follow that in the nationalist band like relation for may 2 boxes but this gets a wolf job what country how can we let the sky thing happen is there any way in you. Can be safe in the ring as long as you put 2 people on the ring and one is the dandy. That would be no save. Despite the risks more time remains the national obsession. There are around 200000 children who regularly compete kick boxing matches across thailand. And for some of these kids the sport is a ticket out of poverty. But no more. Than the. Tent was able to go to a good school be a change my thanks to her books and scholarship. And every time she steps into the ring shes earning money to help support her family. Might mean for the question women up and man oh my god i met a while i feel very hopeful but i dont know why or only coming. To life or not i would out there i feel. Like that i hope. Inside of all the plate hide it a lot of. Money to be bought at the time of the something because theres no. Doubt. That its out in the books out in the crowd on the requirement oh so rare but. The painting. Who are not being in the. Water you broke up. With this she wins or loses 10 cause next flight around 85. 00. Thailands minimum daily wage is just 10. 00 so its tempting for the kids of poor families to risk injury for a big bang fight. Which is exactly what ted plans about to. Hold their home. For their 5 as they visit and theres a lot of. Tomorrow shell be fighting for a Junior Championship title. Her mom is her biggest fan but shes nervous about the match. Ok even the coach isnt sure shes ready. So i didnt hold. Up and walk the walk while we go on but it was a. Lot to get to. The ball with while the. Tank was grandmother conference herself to watch. The fight what do you put in one. Greg and me out here. Playing. Lets. Sit stay strong for exists. Its like 6 starts. Flowing. Is steeped in tradition each fight begins with an intricate dots called the why cool. Little. Place knowing. Something a lot. Thanks. Thanks us thanks with no protective gear or a tie 5 a strike each other with fists kicks elbows means less a win because either by knockout and by getting the most points from cuts go into. Yes my guess tonight it seems to wrists are just as interested in seeing as the but. Thank. Us. Us thank. Us. Believe. The s. Was part of our having little. But have little idea that we like the it was that. Escaped injury tonight and had coaches see the sights on more glory for his future. Whopping noisy me to see i lose. Weight high but up he. Samadhi up. On the way. Pat is training but he hasnt had a fight and. If he wants to be a champion he needs to move up to the next fighting books and experience. So i think. By the. Poor penn is a 3rd generation fine and is proud grandfather has high hopes for sports in future. Making care. How many die. By. The. Hand i. Went up. But every fight puts poor pat at risk of a hip injury or brain damage even the winds can come with dozens of blows to that hit. Looks a little big no. When im white i dont want them on. Changing the law to protect kid boxes means going against generations of tradition. That. Was going by. Going to take care where. You see behind. Me that im not but they had hired me not knowing where theyre making. Finally a new opponents been found and tonight would propel him to the ring he could take it one step closer to his dream. Believe me it was a no harm. The way. A woman got. For the long. Haul. Yeah. Youre going to now the big one me we. Need more of your horn. You know when your minds ok boiling with blood you have been waiting on the. County of me for. Despite concerns to find his might not be evenly matched. Since he isnt afraid of getting hurt. Of them not me. I know that over there i have little kid. The death of 13 year old mori time books a new last year put the government under increasing pressure to break in late the sport. And the child tylenol maker is trying to push new books and legislation through parliament but he wont go as far as banning kids. I dont buy leave it out when they can get what i may say to me dont you really it really means what he got by. That about him lie the way that the buy. Way now muscle. Where did he make money at all but also i dont know. My without. For more time to continue to grow on the global stage any new laws need to reflect International Boxing standards. I mean how he talks about the law by apollo. Who dont write about even community. Even. So will the Thai Government legislate for the protection of young fighters i dont think so. Because the. Only from the beginning is once already they returned it back to the ministry of sport. Authority. Some say it would be political suicide to start legislating bans on more time. Its an incredibly popular sport and childrens matches are especially popular with the voting and gambling public law was. If you go to the real age. Or you look at the people who. Are in that lower Socio Economy who love gambling enjoy cramming people if you see them there you have taken Everything Everything anything. And keep boxing is another game for them why they dont get there like the young kids because the junkies they are real fighting. Gamblers see kids as a solid bit because their list likely to throw a fight goes on push. Button the bell rings they always jump into each other and beat each other until the bell said it is over. Even if legislation is passed it will take a while before these changes are felt throughout town like the one through the pats fight tonight. But theres a problem. For a moment. When not obama doc. The boy who spoke to 5 per pet tonight has had a growth spurt. And im enlightened i dont know im right youre going to get 3 to one with. The repaired stat one risks indignant to an unfair fight. But it doesnt take long before another opponent steps up his name is focus. On my. Laughs look at those around me a long way it came about my trip from miami. To get i went to indiana to. Be with the. Poor head is really the story of function. And focus struggles to self. Talk to rob im. Not all i stopped talking about i havent made my life.

Turbulence over the river nile how ethiopias ambitious dam project is angering egypt will be live in khartoum where theyre talking to find a way out. And live. Gold medals had been won. By. The brits and. At the. Height. Hong kongs leader kerry isnt forcing colonial era emergency laws to clamp down on antigovernment protests that have paralyzed the territory the law forbidding the use of face masks at illegal rallies comes into effect on saturday but demonstrations are continuing on the streets of hong kong now entering the 19th week the move follows a recent increase in violence during the protests carry lyme says it will be an effective deterrent despite the use of emergency laws hong kongs chief executive insists that the city is not in a state of emergency hong kong its not in a state of emergency and we are not proclaiming that hong kong is entering a state of emergency. But we are indeed in an old cation of serious danger which is a state a condition in emergency regulations ordinance by the chief executive council to exercise certain powers and i would say that we are now in rather extensive and serious public danger. Lets go live to hong kong how Sarah Scott Heide latest ascot whats been the reaction to carolines announcement. Wagering the the reaction is pretty much as you would expect you know with the way this protest movement has been going over the nearly 4 months they are going to defy it they say theyre going to be resolute coming out to the streets still wearing their masks we are with the group now that has been going almost kind of neighborhood to neighborhood even before kerry lamb made the announcement about the mass band were in the central financial district right now and you can see theres a fire being put out behind me several 100 here throughout the day there have been upwards in the thousands there was a march initially marched down to this area then it kind of dissipated but then they did a little bit of hopping around blocking major intersections like this one here right at the end of of the business day rush hour evening rush hour on a friday night you can hear that theyre singing there theyre not there anthem the protesters anthem but its interesting when you talk to some of the protesters they view this as much bigger than just phone call. Home grown has changed the whole game we are fighting for freedom and survival ok but no one should know he wont go 1st the holo phone last took a year because of chinas time resolve these days they exist then so raise all the humanity period scott well things go from here. Very good question a. J. We expect this to continue you know the defiance about this this emergency law thats been put in place we heard before it was announced theyre going to still come out they are still coming out and we know that over the weekend coming weekend and obviously doesnt see those numbers really swell there are going to be at least 2 protests to protest planned for this upcoming weekend so we can see probably much more of this and i bet you going to be able to see a lot more mass just because of that main the main reason is because that emergency law being put in they see as a move by kerry lamb the temp down the situation here in hong. But in previous moves by the kerry led government it is almost backfired when she held a dialogue a few weeks ago and that backfired it didnt help it didnt calm things down thats probably what were going to see over the coming week anything that looks to be look at this emergency law banning basements out as a risk on how to live in Hong Kong Scott many thanks emily lau is chairperson of the International Affairs committee of the Democratic Party she she joins us now live via skype from Hong Kong Emily is the government miscalculated here this is the road to authoritarianism isnt it you know its really terrible the whole thing is completely counterproductive we all want this jury to be escalating but the way to know what it is to really engage the community and expect that hope in the months particularly the one which is very reasonable and that its not an independent commission of inquiry not just investigating the police but to look into the whole saga the whole block with it maybe commissions of inquiry to the pratt knew but she refused to do it and the issues and to be able to apply and tomorrow the bridge that spans are going on a bit much at 2 pm so i think margins will not stop and im not going to its not clearing the plates but shes crazy and the politicians and Business People led by. Her crazy i said id agree with the Prime Minister of malaysia not going to hot yet he said she should step back she should step that robert but the government had to do something and it would carry lambs caroline stepping down what would that kate the protesters would that stop the protests. Well i think so to people including kerry and others and responsibility and stepped up i think some people were would be happy to see that but we need to look at the whole saga how did it come about the biggest crisis in hong kong history obviating come about we have to have an investigation but you look at the chaos hall. Shows both in home paul and in Mainland China what responsible hong kong they should go they had to go but an inquiry would would take time it would take time to step up to to set up brother and to actually sift through through all of the evidence and what ultimately what an inquiry achieves well Everybody Knows inquiry will die but it has to be an independent. Commission you know people that both sides can trust and respect what it states and that was setting up this inquiry and who is going to sit on the commission and the terms of reference i think anything against those who support peaceful and violent and non by the protest will come around and be the ready when its may not but the number of people in the streets will do i dont know then i hope it will be escalate my view brant thats what we want that to happen but what every lead us and that was it had been exceptionally up once it is if we speak it will not fall ah ah ah ha ha maybe i may and we dont want to see people getting maimed and you know thats not what we want to see in Hong Kong Emily lau in hong kong good to talk to you many thanks indeed thank you. Iraqi Security Forces of fired on antigovernment demonstrators defying a curfew in baghdad 31. 00 people have been killed during 4 days of protests in the capital at the citys demonstrators are demanding an end to corruption the lack of jobs and basic services lets go live now to baghdad al jazeera is iran khan is there for us iran whats whats the latest the curfew is still ongoing whats going on right now. Thats absolutely right theres no announcement by the government as to when this curfew might come to an end what theyve said is in till further notice out in the shore eats ive just been driving around taking a walk around to see whats been going on myself and whats been happening is that every 3 or 400 meters you have a static checkpoint there are a number of military mobile patrols moving around in heavy number i have to say also in the early hours of the morning we did see cautions take place between protesters and iraqi Security Forces in the last hour or so whats been happening is theres been a slight lull because a very key statement was issued by the highest shia muslim religious cleric in the country ground. Else astonied this is a statement he releases after friday prayers every single friday all eyes were on the person reading that statement his represents it and what his representative said is that grand ayatollah ali sistani has sympathy with the protest group and he has yet understand why they are angry why theyre out on the streets he says the government must do more to tackle corruption to create jobs and to generally find a way out of the system but he also says this is not going to happen overnight and he wants the protesters to actually not be out on the street not that much property no attack buildings not attack the Security Forces but to protest peacefully now the question is whether the protesters actually listen to this very senior very influential figure in iraqi life whether they actually listen to him and whether they will stop now this as weve been saying is seemingly a Leaderless Movement there are no leaders to negotiate with so lets see what happens fairly at sea with the protesters listen its likely that as weve seen the last few days of the defy the curfew and theyll be out in the streets again earlier the Prime Minister addressed the nation to extend as the grand ayatollah done what he couldnt. Well actually his statement has been received with a number of skeptical skepticism story amongst the protesters who say he didnt say anything he basically made some vague promises about changing cabinet. He said he might bring in a basic income for poor families he said he understood what the protesters were out on the street but it wasnt his fault this was a structural problem that was blamed on previoUs Governments and that he needed a chance to be able to do something that was completely dismissed as a statement actually. Is being dismissed completely by the protesters they actually take grand ayatollah ali sistani much more seriously than they take in the lobby and thats a significant challenge to his leadership many thanks i was there as imran khan there live in baghdad this is the news from aljazeera still to come on the program cameroons president attempts to reassure separatists in English Speaking regions but a report on why it may not be enough. 2 years on from the last very good hotel shootings which only 1800. 00 is on the way for the reeves families and in sport but just united find the going tough again in the Europa League soccer here with all the details on a.
