from tech giant apple. welcome to the news that israel says its aerial defense system intercepted two rockets launched from the gaza strip it says a third rocket hit a building in the halls in southern israel its army has now shelled parts of the very latest on this from malcolm webb who's in gaza what more do we know about the rocket attacks that have been launched apparently from gaza and the subsequent retaliation from israel. we felt and heard several loud explosions just over an hour ago when those rockets were fired. i'm actually just going to get a step aside and tell you a little bit about what's happening right now we're at the border with israel to get the camera to zoom in a bit. as every as it happened every friday for the last four weeks ever since president trump announced the u.s. would recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel after prayers there have been street rallies in gaza and protesters have come here to the border on the edge of gaza by the separation wall and the fence that separates gaza from israel they've tried to plant palestinian flags in the ground throw stones and met consistently with volleys of tear gas and gunfire from the israelis and we've just heard a volley of of those tear gas canisters being fired by and just now you can see a big cloud of white gas this is the tear gas that israelis keep using to try and clear the protesters and the plume of black smoke is from one of the fires of tires that the protesters have lit this went on for many hours last week and the same in the previous weeks and from the protesters no sign of giving up yet people are very angry by what happened by what president trump said regarding jerusalem and said this is been a regular pattern you were talking about the exchange of fire initially so. we did hear and feel the explosions when when those rockets were fired as he said the israeli army said three rockets were fired two were intercepted in one of the meals they heard from local residents who live along here along the border the israelis had retaliated with tank shells and hit one of the watch towers belonging to one of the armed factions along the border here for the moment malcolm thanks very much for the web thing garza. now the tar collar church south of cairo has killed at least nine people a gunman was also killed no police shot him when he tried to storm the church in one province there are reports that a second attacker was arrested you don't want to be there. playing god they lock the door there were hundreds inside if getting close a door on time it could have been worse than did jack and the road the mask in china. and wash off is a visiting professor of security studies at the doha institute joins me here in our studio good to have you with us let's just begin with this is not the first attack on the christian community within egypt what seems to be going on this twenty seven has been a really bad year well it's a continuation of a series of attacks that has been going on for a while now especially since twenty thirty non-words. in from august twenty fifth in the pretty much the coptic community has been subject to a target in discriminatory you had attacks targeted churches civilian copts from sinai in the north or sinai all the way to to operate in egypt and it seems to me that seems to be a continuation but it's it looks to me that could have been a lot more damaging and with significant oval office to cation from what we saw we're waiting for official comment from the government as to who they think are behind it but who are the likely suspects the likely suspects are two organizations really that has been consistently targeting since twenty fifteen isis in sinai or this one i province or the small decentralized cell of affiliated with isis but but eating in the valley and the probabilities too. small cells one in cairo and one in central delta we see in social scene for example in november. see few muslims also attacked it's not just christians it's anybody that sort of seems to deviate away from a certain train of thought when it comes. two muslim teachings or the muslim way of worshipping since since the twenty thirteen we had for indiscriminate categorization of targeting if you wish one was the coptic christian so they target regardless. the recent one is the sufi's of the muslims as we saw in the north sinai but also to a certain degree the targeting of police officers and army officers. talk about officer rank specifically because the soldiers in many ways they were they were spared only set aside but also you had. targeting sometimes of. primarily me some to some of the media personnel and of course israel in their case these were indiscriminate in many ways. so the cops come primarily a soft one they are the largest religious community after sunni muslims in egypt and to a certain degree the churches were targeted multiple times the problem is that there is no clear counterterrorism and counterinsurgency policies so for dealing with this for a while egypt has been just continuing the same blunders and same mistakes i was good to ask you about that about the counter sort of intelligence the counterinsurgency policy that the egyptian government has because we had the palm sunday attack earlier this year we saw the president himself come out to console the grieving community it seems that the words are there but there seems to be they're actually trying to protect minority communities in egypt and of course with things like this happen they grab the headlines there's the micro in the macro level tactics so the macro level basically the policies of the government has been fostering a an environment extremely booth extremely repressive and very much producing more and more violence more and more terrorism on one and the micro tactics that have not been successful either because we started in twenty thirteen with one organ. zation operating in a very small very remote area in northeastern sinai and we ended today with five organizations operating all over the country from the northeast of sinai all the way to the western desert and including cairo and central delta but moreover the rate of attacks is unprecedented egypt's history you were talking about over according to the home center since twenty four thousand we're talking about over two solid and operations so this is a massive soul must an operation per day for three continuous three years so if you're looking at this picture this macro picture i think the policies whether the counterterrorism or the counterinsurgency policies need significant revisions especially when it comes to the way the government is conducting the crackdowns the very widespread indiscriminate repression their propaganda because the propaganda is not is really mediocre so it does not give them a lot of credibility but also there is no long term policy in terms of national reconciliation in terms of containing sectarianism is going on in egypt and in terms even of trying to foster a national agenda that on the one and promotes conservation within the country but also on the other and deals with the security threat in a more meaningful and more successful men we should see what happened certainly a sad development as we head towards the end of the year thanks so much for joining us thank you. now the u.s. president donald trump has accused china of violating u.n. sanctions against north korea by not cutting off oil supplies to pyongyang trump has tweeted caught red handed very disappointed that china is allowing oil to go into north korea there will never be a friendly solution to the north korea problem if this continues to happen but china insists it's abiding by u.n. resolutions don't wash the younger the china always implements completely and strictly the resolutions of the u.n. security council if feels its to international obligations and will never allow chinese citizens or companies to engage in activities against those resolutions if any behavior violating those resolutions is discovered and confirmed through an investigation china will issue strict punishment in accordance with the relevant law and regulations. out of the u.s. president's tweet to south korea seized a ship suspected of violating the u.n. sanctions saucers the hong kong flagged vessel transferred oil to a north korean ship in international waters knocked over the u.s. proposed blacklisting the ship for ignoring international sanctions placed against pyongyang or upper bride has more from beijing. china will not be happy with this latest criticism from president trump coming in such a public stinging manner but it's true to say that china has become used to dealing with the united states in a different way over the past year and has been accustomed to president trump's tweets at the ministry of foreign affairs regular press briefing friday in beijing there was no specific reference or reply to this latest attack but the spokes person was asked about the allegations concerning this hong kong registered vessel seized in south korea for allegedly dealing in illicit oil with north korea the ministry said that it has been investigated to the chinese customs have no record of this vessel visiting a chinese port since august although it has no records of it whether it visited other ports as far as it knows the chinese government does not know of any illicit activity that this vessel has been involved in repeating that the chinese government is still very much committed to enforcing the u.n. sanctions whether china has known about any trades that might be taking place it's difficult to believe that any illegal activity or transfer of oil at sea could take place without china's knowledge and it would fit with the general narrative of china quietly supporting the north korean regime not necessarily out of any loyalty to an old ally but really as a pragmatic measure to shore up the regime as far as china is concerned it comparable live with a nuclear armed north korea not an ideal situation but for china the unacceptable situation is a collapsing regime that still has access to nuclear warheads that for china is the worst case scenario. now live areas vice president joseph because he has congratulated former football star george will on winning the presidential election and paved the way for the first democratic transition of power in the west african nation in seventy three yes because i had raised doubts about the fairness of choose days that but says he doesn't want violence in his name mohammed atta reports now from the capital monrovia was celebration on the streets of the liberian capital neutral was support for my international football adored with greeted news of his victory in tuesday's runoff election with song and dance was brought down in tea is a soon as the results won best he's seen he have been consulted by his running mate if you will take that who is an ex-wife or former liberian president charles taylor who is currently serving a fifty year sentence in the u.k. for war crimes committed in neighboring sierra leone was full we any supporters it's a dream come true a struggle they say that started we back in two thousand and two has finally succeeded ok so they need us for years that they can check was good but this time they're not a trip the two of them to it was such a choice we had to present the talk through the electoral commission had just announced the preliminary results were all present ages are c.d.c. thank you mr president is sixty one point five percent for the c.d.c. and thirty eight point five percent for the unit body and now his opponent and current vice president just a block i says he has had deep misgivings about the elections from the beginning he contends that there is also the fuss around and supported a case taken to the supreme court by the county they took him in the race we've grown into an election that we knew from stacked. it has a lot of problems we were not satisfied with whether or not the instructions of the supreme court were followed we were. constrained to go but why do we want to see what we wanted we had all hoped for a free fair transparent election i doubt seriously if that is where we're going to get a good way said to succeed ellen johnson sirleaf africa's first elected female president who led liberia for the past told he is she is credited with presiding over the longest period of uninterrupted peace in liberia since one thousand nine hundred eighty nine george where played fostering will football clubs including s.c. milan chelsea and parties and german he's the only african football to have worn the feet for a while player of the georgia way as a victory in the presidential race is attributed mainly to his support base within the country's youth who are calling for up to sixty percent of the population he grew up in want to be a slums and he success against all appeals to many in what is one of the world's poorest countries. where anti-politics up to his retirement from football in two thousand and two and is currently a senate a liberia's pilot. will be the first time since one thousand for two full plate be founded by freed u.s. slaves in the mountain century will have transfer of power from one elected president to another how to divulge his era when really a liberia. well george with transformation from a sporting superstar to a head of state is unprecedented but he's not the first professional athlete to enter politics back as funny cricketer in run can made his name as a fast bowler and captain of the national team he launched his political party in one nine hundred ninety six becoming one of the main opposition figures in the country at the age of twenty arnold schwarzenegger was the youngest person to win mr universe the bodybuilding title after a successful acting career he was elected governor of california in the u.s. in two thousand and three filipino boxer legend manny pacquiao has juggled his sporting career with his job as a congressman and now senator in the philippines and the mayor of ukraine's capital kiev is three time world heavyweight boxing champion retired klitschko. all awash in a g is an african football journalist based in nigeria and says that george weir had an eye on politics even during his football career. it's a country to go to a huge civil war that actually caused them so much in terms of facilities infrastructure as a youth is done so much as a humanitarian he's invested his money in not just sports when he was a when he was when he was a player as well as a coach is invested his money in the lone star he's done so much to actually bring back a lot of charge to just come back to the country and help develop the country i think all of those points that you mentioned the challenges that we face in him is amanda that he's always open to peaceful resolution and conversation remember when he lost the last election people were pushing him to actually take it to court continue to drag it on and he said no when it's my time it's my time i believe to get out he can oakum to get out to fix liberia as a country is talked about peace is mentioned something about uniting opposition parties because liberia is bigger than any individual i think for a man like that a lot of liberians they've seen him he's convinced them when he was not a president he's done so much as a footballer the believe us president you can do so much more by bringing the country together is a country that is disunited in terms of politics and all of the but i believe george weah can actually deliver more plenty more ahead on the al-jazeera news hour including guatemalan struggle to heal the wounds of a decades long civil war. the end of an era as the world's last telegraph service closes shop and in sports a top tennis player pulls out of the season's opener while another is getting a warm and fuzzy feeling about his those details coming up with. south africa's top court says parliament has felt a whole president jacob zuma accountable for allegations of corruption the court ruling follows his conclusion last violated the constitution when he used state money to upgrade his private home but the court says it's up to parliament to come up with the right close to deal with such violations turning a page just the latest from johannesburg. the constitutional court south africa's highest court has found that the national assembly that's parliament failed to take appropriate action against president jacob zuma and relation to gross overspending of taxpayers' dollars on his private home called income the constitutional court says the first thing that should happen is that the national assembly needs to come up with a comprehensive list of rules and regulations which perhaps could lead to the impeachment of president zuma away but they didn't go so far as to say that's what should happen because that would be in breach of the separation of powers the opposition parties who brought this legal action we're pleased with the outcome nonetheless the constitutional delinquent mr zuma in no time will be scrutinized will be brought before parliament to be accountable because his own political party has actually failed to hold him accountable and we can with the other day longer we need to be in parliament in no less than did today's before the state of the nation address of twenty eight. in their defense president zuma and the speaker of parliament both said it wasn't true that the national assembly had done nothing multiple votes of no confidence in president zuma have been held and they have all been defeated and that's what it comes down to it's a matter of numbers in parliament because impeaching a president is a parliamentary process so even when there are rules in place that could lead to impeaching a president ultimately that would require a two thirds majority and the reality is that the governing african national congress holds the majority and so it be extremely unlikely that the numbers would be able to be gathered for an impeachment now thousands of indigenous people died during guatemala's decade long civil war that ended in one thousand nine hundred ninety six but they were not included in the official death toll don't receive proper burials now some families are getting closure of the tashi going to reports . a skull with bits of bones and a children's halloween t. shirt remnants of loved ones on earth from one of them all as mass graves. two hundred fifty thousand guatemalans died or disappeared during the country's thirty six year civil war thousands of the degenerates farming families had been a raced from memory until now. but ever on me me they shot my wife a bullet to the hip she was washing clothes she walked a couple of steps but she couldn't walk anymore and there she stayed my wife was just lying there. through d.n.a. testing families are now identifying their relatives burying them and visiting their graves during the war many farmers were forced into army operated villages it was a way to ensure they didn't join one of the guerrilla groups in the area they were promised food and medical care instead many died from malnutrition and treatable diseases that my adieux said that when the majority of causes of death of the children was due to disease due to a lack of medical attention it was limited because of what was happening in the region as well as the measles outbreak in the early one nine hundred eighty s. . people here say they were treated like prisoners so. if somebody for example had to leave to visit a relative in the capital or another province they had to request it in writing sometimes well in advance for the army to grant authorization those who left and did not return at the stipulated time would get into trouble and many times that trouble meant. in recent years quantum olens have begun to address the crimes of war former military leader efren rios montt was convicted of genocide in two thousand and thirteen the decision was overturned on procedural grounds and he's being tried again in absentia but. for these families identifying and burying their dead is just one step towards acknowledging the many injustices of guatemala's civil war. natasha the name l. does era. the u.s. embassy in ankara says it's lifted all restrictions on visa services ending a two month dispute between the u.s. and turkey the u.s. says it has assurances its local embassy staff won't be detained or arrested the embassy in ankara stopped issuing visas after two staff members at the consular office in istanbul were

entry into world war one the telegram has been at the heart of history on more than one occasion now it's coming to an end in belgium one of the last countries to use the messaging service the final message has been sent all has been censored one hundred seventy one years after the country's first electric telegram was delivered barca has more from london. for one hundred eighty years the iconic telegram brought news of calamity and condolence joy and success. it entered popular culture surviving the invention of the telephone and instant messaging but the end is nigh it was ironically via twitter the belgian telecoms firm proxima announced the demise of its service one of the last in the world the system was kept alive by only a handful of businesses mostly bailiff's issuing hard copies of legal documents tucked away in a london science museum and some of the earliest examples of the technology the first system was developed in england in eight hundred thirty seven and would go on to change the world. by nineteen hundred. cables that connected all the different continents of the world and they with it was the first step to globalization radio t.v. telephone our world is basically built on the telegraph it's hard to imagine but once these cumbersome machines were cutting ends technology very much the same way that computers were much later on they use the latest science of the day electromagnetism to point needles that letters in the alphabet to eventually spell out a word it was all down to how skilled the telegraph operator was using these handles . the technology created a certain style of writing a bit like modern text messages the word stop was used to indicate the end of a sentence senders also a pay by the word leading to some resourceful ways of communicating the shortest telegram of the english language was sent by the writer and celebrated wit oscar wilde he was living in paris and sent a message to his publisher to see how his new book was doing the message simply read. publisher responded. later morse code was used to send telegraphic messages on april the fifteenth nine hundred twelve the ill fated titanic sent one of its last distress calls. the u.k. abandoned the telegram in one thousand nine hundred to the us in two thousand and six and the biggest market in india four years ago but the technology isn't quite dead yet you can still send telegrams in places like italy also a host of online companies and apps of emerged in recent years offering people an experience of a bygone age. need barca al-jazeera london stop. he's such a card here's richard now he's a bit of a card when it comes to weather still no warmer weather in the north america no you know she fights at the science meets or shows much of its development to the telegraph because you could transmit messages from one part of the car like i like but i like what you do there it's work there because during the winter well normally i start off by showing a frontal analysis of what's happening where we're talking about to be honest it doesn't really add a lot what does show up much better it's just this map showing the warm weather way than south and the cold weather just about everywhere else across north america have had incredible cold weather affecting the continent some record breaking temperatures met washington at more than six thousand meters broke a record going back to nine hundred thirty three but the coldest place recently has been international falls there in minnesota where we've had temperatures down to minus thirty eight we've also had snow that's been the real issue lake effect snow where you get cold air coming across still relatively warm lake water produces massiveness no real issue trying to take even a housekeeper look at it well this could be more snow around in the coming days across north america needs some very heavy snow for occurring across the pacific northwest and it keeps on going anything up to meter in places and extending quite a way inland in quite a way down toward sea level and we're going to see some snow further towards the east the temperatures still extremely low as i move the forecast on twenty four hours most of the snow has gone as far as the temperatures are concerned that cold air is very much in place new york for instance could see temperatures as low as minus fifteen. thanks very much richard well still ahead here on the news our great farmers are creating opportunities for the country's many refugees. also how a nineteenth century form of entertainment

made worse after some e.u. countries refuse to resettle some of them but one group thinks refugees could help contribute to greece's feeble economy as loans leave reports. language class for this group of refugees in northern greece jason from it live in syria has decided to seek asylum here they all need greek anyway because they'll be here for months or even years so slow is the bureaucracy. jason said he wants to study and maybe become a hairdresser. but he's open to suggestions for work. across his country similar scenes are happening the rest of europe has decided the greece can cope more or less greece has got a big problem the economist on the whole more than forty percent youth unemployment and at the same time greece is having to deal with the brunt of the refugee influx and the european quota system for sharing them out has fallen apart completely so here's the big question if there's not enough jobs for greeks then what to expect refugees to do. so in the absence of any other bright ideas some people here have decided to celebrate the new arrivals farmer demetrius makes some dried tomatoes and grows herb's but he has a problem his village like hundreds of others has shrunk by half since the economic crisis as a young people moved away or empty houses here waiting for families to move in to breathe new life into the community he'd love nothing more than refugees from rural syria to help him out you think you can help each other yes if they're if you just work just to stay here we can do it many thinks together so the idea came from a local organization working with refugees it argues that greece's economic crisis could be partly solved by the refugee influx not cheap labor but co-operative farms giving the new arrivals an economic stake and encourage them to stay refugees that used to be in. their original country or they have experience in farming we think that they can also assist the locals and the locals can assist then and in developing a future for both in the camps it's becoming clear what happens when refugees can't access the jobs market a groups are warning of a huge spike in drug abuse by refugees stuck for years in a shipping container cannabis is sold alongside fruit on the road side of the noses of the police of the camp male refugees selling their bodies has become common as well they are buying the drugs there are some people using headlining also or. in the camp and they are just because they're plants and just because you don't have any hope. here these last life of. their life. they don't have any hope. many greeks here claim refugees get special treatment while they're left to suffer in poverty they were life in the camps hard looks generous there are apparently no greeks to work the fields in this agricultural land and to grow the economy it's only one idea but maybe they're starting to realize you can make a virtue out of a crisis lawrence lee al-jazeera in northern greece apple has issued an online apology to customers following weeks of anger over intentionally slowing down all the i phones the tech giant says the slowdown is to preserve the life of degrading batteries asked our reaction from customers as led to several class action lawsuits against the company apple's not offering a discount for replacement batteries every mars is a freelance technology journalist he says it's extremely rare for apple that issue a public apology. we're it's unusual you don't normally get such a full. longer explanation from apple who it's hard to get any press reaction out of them let alone something this detailed they clearly feel it can really hurt they're facing legal action in in israel for on and eight cases already in the states and so in the short term it doesn't look good they. offer to cut the price but the just the year of having i phone six is all later upgraded they say that we would never ever slow down the device deliberately or shorten the life rather of the device deliberately i think that's a little bit rich they do their absolute damnedest to to stop third party manufacturers repairing their products not very successfully but they try and very very quickly as they sort of well before they get really through end of life they make the prices of apple chanche to repair them sober a habit if you would really want to upgrade so while they may not deliberately cripple devices they're not really exactly thanking the best efforts to extend their lives by any means all demonstrators are back on the streets of peru's covered libor to protest against the pardon granted to former president alberto fujimori on sunday the controversial decision by embattled president pedro public which has prompted his culture minister to resign and those are the silver reports it's also drawing international condemnation. peru is being forced to revisit a painful and not so distant past the presidential pardon of alberto fujimori who led the latin american nation with an iron fist from one thousand nine hundred ninety to two thousand has sparked outrage in the country and beyond a group of un human rights experts has joined the critics calling it a slap in the face for the victims and witnesses who stier less commitment brought fujimori to justice an apology from the bed ridden seventy nine year old former president has done little to ease the sense of injustice. the more he killed my son and this very cowardly and cruel way now president paddle public agenda ski has finished killing the entire family with this pardon of fujimori. they have called for more protests and inter-marry can court of human rights to examine the legality of the decision all we can do that of the pardon which has the appearance of a humanitarian pardon to be a pardon of a political nature. the president. has justified the christmas eve pardon on medical grounds but the timing of the decision has caused deep suspicion that's because just a few days earlier fujimori loyalists in parliament prevented a vote on could choose keys impeachment and it allegations of corruption. the former president has served twelve years of a twenty five year sentence for corruption and human rights violations these included extrajudicial killings in forced disappearances and kidnappings as he used death squads in a ruthless war against the maoist shining path. the

ahead at the may just stories we expect to see in twenty eighteen we look at u.s. politics a mid-term elections and they could have a major impact on donald trump's presidency up for grabs all seats in the house of representatives and a third of the senate bridles reports. donald trump has a lower approval rating than any other president in modern times at this point in their first terms of office and that's bad news for members of congress in his own republican party as they face the november twenty eighth teen midterm elections works it's very helpful to have a popular president at the top of the ticket but without trumpet this point would improve the rating and i don't want thirty years i'm not sure how much of a plus donald trump will be dissatisfied action with trump and the unpopularity of his tax cut legislation which is seen to benefit the wealthy has created a big enthusiasm gap between republican and democratic voters that was vividly on display in recent elections when a democrat won the virginia governor's race and even more so when democrats turned out in large numbers to help the democrat doug jones eke out a narrow win over accused child molester roy moore in the senatorial race in conservative alabama democrats are fired up we saw some significant electoral movement particularly among african-americans a solid constituency for the democratic party but we weren't sure that they would be enthusiastic in both of those contests they were very enthusiastic and the other group that we've been looking at in particular are white college graduates who many of whom seem very disenchanted with. many analysts believe democrats have a good chance of taking control of the house of representatives. winning the senate is more difficult for democrats because many of them are defending seats in states which voted republican last year but even control of one house of congress would allow democrats to block trump's legislative agenda for the rest of his term ending in twenty twenty overshadowing the entire political scene is the investigation by special counsel robert muller of russian meddling in the two thousand and sixteen presidential election if mohler is able to show collusion between the trump campaign and the kremlin it would be a political bombshell and a disaster for the president and his party robert oulds al jazeera los angeles. series continues on saturday when we visit zimbabwe's twenty eight teams will be a significant yeah after its recent political upheaval but how much change should we expect. well a new arctic submission of the has shown museum in the us features a mix of civil war history and political commentary. bradford was inspired by a painting of the famous final battle of gettysburg when he created a vulcan de sac to rama al-jazeera spoke to the creator of the exhibition. a cycler was actually one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in the united states and europe before cinema would be around and then there would be a dire ramat running on the inside and visitors to a cycle rama would come up through the middle of the cyclorama and they would have this immersive experience mark came to the hirshhorn which was built by gordon bunch after and it's a unique building we are essentially a donut and so the center of the building actually makes it impossible for us to actually be a cycle raman he was looking specifically at a cycle that was made in one thousand nine hundred three by philip and it depicts the battle of gettysburg which is considered to be the turning point of the american civil war he got images of filipinos painting from i'm guessing from the internet it's a piece of un stretched canvas one piece about twelve feet high and forty five to fifty feet long and then on that canvas are multiple layers of paper colored papers burned papers papers that he's soaked in water to give them this very different material effect and he glued together for mark he has decided to disrupt that idea by the materials that he uses so what he is using is just pieces of colored paper sometimes posters that he finds on the streets so what you have is not only this juxtaposition of figurative imagery and abstraction but also different layers of history so things that have been embedded in the kind of the base of the painting and then you get put on top and it's kind of this metaphor i think about how history comes back over and over again and i think it's a comment on how some of the issues that we we faced as a nation when the battle of gettysburg kind of relevant today that still haunt us today and what you get a sense of as he went back in and disrupts the imagery is the sense of history and how history is never transparent there's never one version of history and that there are always these filters through which we all view history. well still ahead who. have the details coming up. spall do stay with us. but what's the news on it's time to spoiled history thank you well tennis fans hoping to see novak djokovic which make his return from a five month injury layoff will have to wait for the former

he took six months off at the end of two thousand and sixteen because of a knee injury i think anything i went from here on forward is like a massive bonus kind of a surprise because i didn't expect this of everything at thirty six thirty seven to say as good as i am today ever since i read about staying healthy and enjoying myself and be very precise of how i practice and what turns up by it's just hard to imagine that i'll face as good as i did last year somebody has been. there to see this it's been like magic or you know it's been a frustrating day thing and script is in the fourth ashes
