Englands cricketers have won the final ashes test against australia with a day to spare having set the ozzies a 399 runs for victory england didnt even let them close in australias best batsman steve smith was out for just 23. 00 stuart broad and jack leach took 4 wickets each england winning by 135. 00 runs to draw the 5 match series to 2 its the 1st time thats happened in 47 years. Absolutely. So the form is this week was a lot closer to where we want to be as a template moving forward in test cricket. But we drove the game pretty much the whole time from from that 1st session and on day one and thats really pleasing you know we got in a position of strength and no point and we really let them back in. Had you have said that we would be retaining the ashes i think we would have taken it and i think most australians would have so yeah i think we can be really proud of the why weve come over here which is a challenging place for the 1st rains to come apply and win. To win 2 test matches pretty convincingly should want to. Let that slip no doubt but weve done a lot wrong with got a lot to be really proud about georgia claim 2 gold medals on the opening day of the World Wrestling championships in kazakhstan georgias 1st cold winter so in the 55 kilogram category he won in less than a minute and the celebrations were almost as impressive as their 2nd when it was in the heavier 82. 00 cuba vents the man in red.

If you were in beijing looking out the Pacific Ocean youd see American Warships when miss was that somehow time is aiming to replace america and going to run the world well the chinese are not that stupid things guys want to dominate a huge chunk of the planet this sounds like a preparation for our 1st president George Washington said if you want peace prepare for war the coming war on china to just 0. The middle aged people weaponized throughout history war for the 1st words and with me and started fighting developed by nation states there will be enough of the truth that everything. Now within reach of those seeking can find the most toxic substances illegal to land me in physical threats on al jazeera and this is defo not sad but there is some one thing for someones favorite. Thing its how you function official and i think it is a certain way of doing it you can just buy into story and find out. Oil prices soar after the attack that cut saudi production in hot u. S. President donald trump says hes locked and loaded to hit those behind it. But china says its ever sponsible to blame anyone for the attack without conclusive facts. About this and this is all just a a lie from doha also coming up turkey hosts leaders from iran and russia to discuss syria especially the volatile situation in the last rebel held area. The british Prime Ministers in luxembourg for crucial braggs it talks with the head of the european commission.

S. Had said iran was responsible allegations to iran has rejected jihad for begins our coverage. These satellite Images Released by the u. S. Government appear to show damage to part of the oil plant at alba kike in saudi arabia they could prove vital in determining who attacked the plant and from where it looked like they were damaged in the north and west or alter who shelbys which would mean that they didnt come from yemen with then i would close here and all the people who are closer of those photos and its not quite clear looks like Somebody Just from the west could have been calling from yemen we dont yet know who recently launched drones and missiles against saudi arabia were several months now none of them have been able to cause the damage they did these did but this is not new. To the rebels in yemen say they flew armed drones across the border deep into saudi arabia to attack 2 major Oil Facilities if confirmed its their most ambitious and devastating operation following dozens of smaller scale strikes in the kingdom in recent months back and get a sudden and i thought about an old we exploited vulnerabilities in the Saudi Defense system and we built our drones in order to avoid these systems therefore the saudi and m.

Secretary of state flames iran for saturdays attacks might pump a 0 says theres no evidence they were launched from yemen although he hasnt explained how iran is to blame or where the drones took off from secretary powell has made clear that the Iranian Regime is responsible for this attack on civilian areas and infrastructure right are vital to our Global Energy supply and were not going to stand for that in fact our department of energy stands ready to tap into the Strategic Reserves of Petroleum Reserve it will last to stabilize the Global Energy supply iran says it rejects the u. S. Accusations its. Normally is. Your year got what is concerning is the wrong path of the americans and the region they are supporting saudi arabia and the u. N.

Government is another attempt to try and pressure this meeting to take place between u. S. President donald trump and his reign in counterpart Hassan Rouhani later this month at the United Nations General Assembly but the Us Pharmaceutical Company<\/a> in implicated in the Opioid Epidemic<\/a> has filed for bankruptcy due manufactures the addictive painkiller oxycontin blamed for causing the deaths of thousands of americans many use the painkiller as a substitute for heroin and other opiates the recent Mass Shootings<\/a> in texas of rig knighted the long running debate about owning a gun as the u.

Government is another attempt to try and pressure this meeting to take place between u. S.

Pronouncements made by President Donald Trump<\/a> yesterday and that seem it did not actually affect the market told on the contrary of the market has shown volatility between one minute and the other but still it is on the rise so therefore i think that. An increase of 2 almost 20 percent in the price of w t i or the price of brant mix is an indication that the market is still jittery and does not feel does not feel calm about this so it is an erratic situation where the office of iraqs Prime Minister<\/a> says u. S. Secretary of state my pump aoe called locked it this morning to discuss the attacks in saudi arabia shall start for joining us live from baghdad this is getting interesting isnt it charles because on the one hand weve got the who the rebels in the yemen claiming that they did it and yet might compare the state compare has said that there was no evidence that had come from yemen now he makes this phone call what do we read into this. Well its the course of that telephone conversation thats very telling we understand according to a source inside the iraqi Prime Minister<\/a>s office that u. S. Secretary of defense might pump ayos said that the u. S. Has evidence that those attacks were launched from southern iraq from basra a province he went further than that and said that the evidence suggested that. Pro iran iraq e militias the Popular Mobilization<\/a> forces were involved in those attacks and we understand that he asked the iraqi Prime Minister<\/a> to act accordingly now of course this comes a day after the Iraqi Government<\/a> put out a very forceful statement denying any involvement in these attacks promising to to investigate and punish anybody founds to have been involved theres been no comment thus far from the p m f its important to know exactly who the p. M. I. Far they were set up in 2014 as a fighting force to tackle the eisel offensive and were very effective in that endeavor in 2016 they were formally integrated into the Iraqi Security<\/a> forces they play a major role in this countrys military and and it and its politics and weve had statements previously from the Iraqi Government<\/a> sang that the pm f. I very much under the control of the government but in recent months at least there have been questions as to how much control indeed the government has over these very powerful forces and of course these kind of statements from the u. S. Now as tension increases between the u. S. And iran especially after these its acts it shows just how much pressure the Iraqi Government<\/a> which of course is such a major u. S. Ally is under some analysts describe the Iraqi Government<\/a> as being bitter. In a rock and a hard place obviously iran is a huge ally of this and. The u. S.
