Were standing by for verdict in that important case in egypt. Theyre expected to announce the decision in the murder retrial of former egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. Youll remember hes charged with conspiracy to kill hundreds of antigovernment demonstrators during an uprising that drove him from power after nearly 30 years as president. 86 years old now, the ailing mubarak, along with the rest of egypt, awaits this verdict and the country braces for what could be a very tense weekend. Joining us now in cairo is cnns ian lee. Hes live there. You have been based in cairo for some time. Following the saga of hosni mubar mubarak. Whats expected today . Because weve seen so many postponements in many years. Reporter thats right. This has been going for quite a while, natalie. The trial has been over three years, people waiting to see what the outcome will be. Initially he was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison, which in egypt means 25 years. And mubarak in his 80s, that would mean hed spend the rest of his life in jail. But he was moved to a Military Hospital because of Health Issues and more recently, really in the past few months, weve seen pictures popping up on social media, him posing with people, taking pictures, looking a lot healthier. The feeling today outside the courthouse, there are people there supporting the former president and also people against him. The people supporting him believe hell be acquitted. They say theres no hard evidence to pin him and that there will be acquittal. Talking to the other side, there are people who believe that he will be acquitted too. They say the way the government is going, a president from the military is in power, they will be theyll be lenient. Talking to others, they hope gods justice will be done today. Also important to note that egypt is experiencing two president s on trial. You also have the former president Mohamed Morsi standing trial on three charges, escaping prison, and a murder trial as well. So the country has had a bit of fatigue when it comes to these sorts of trials just waiting for the verdicts. And ian, if he is acquitted, then what for Hosni Mubarak . Does he go back to just living freely in egypt . Well, he was found guilty on corruption charges and is serving a threeyear prison sentence. He has months left in that. If hes found innocent and acquitted today, then he would have roughly a few months left in his other sentence. Then he could technically walk free. Although, the prosecution could appeal this verdict which would send us, then again, back to the whole retrial of this, and that would be the final verdict, which could be a couple years away still. All right, ian lee, watching the developments there in cairo for us. When theres more, well come back to you. Thank you. Now on to nigeria, where the death toll is expected to rise, after a brazen terror attack. At least 120 people died and some 300 were injured after two suicide bombers blew themselves up at a mosque on friday. Police say gunmen armed with ak47s opened fire on people as they tried to run and escape. Then a third bomb exploded outside the mosque. Kano is the largest city in Northern Nigeria. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, but authorities believe the terror group boko haram, who has been rampaging across the north in this country for many years is behind what happened. Joining us now, a correspondent from the French News Agency afp, speaking with us from lagos. We thank you for your time. If you could, first of all, tell us, certainly this attack has instilled fear in a lot of people. But what is the spirit . How are people dealing with what happened there on friday . Reporter well, its discouraging to say, but it comes after three years of relentless boko haram violence. So while the death toll appears to be astronomical in this case, sadly, people here have become used to this level of carnage. Thats not to say it wasnt incredibly traumatic, and an attack on this scale will raise tension and no doubt traumatize an already victimized population. Talk to us about whats happening before government efforts to tamp down on these terrorist actions. What are you hearing from the president there about the response to what happened, and what he is going to do to make sure this doesnt continue to happen . Well, the president typically issues statements promising to find the perpetrators. So far, very few people have been brought to court and charged with such crimes. Nigeria declared a state of emergency in the north more than 18 months ago and launched a major offensive against boko haram which they said would end the insurgency. That hasnt happened. Violence was raging on a near daily basis. There was some success in reducing attacks in kano itself. But boko haram has demonstrated they still retain the ability to attack when they want to and nigeria has so far struggled to contain the violence. You mentioned just a moment ago, very few people have been brought to court. What impact does that have to people when they realize people dont really have the answer for whats happening . Reporter i think that the lack of accountability throughout this uprising is a very, very important issue. I think that if people in Northern Nigeria saw the perpetrators rounded up, arrested, tried, and prosecuted following a range of attacks, i think it would reinforce confidence in the government that it was capable of dealing with the situation. It is a conflict. It is hard to arrest and charge people in the midst of a raging conflict. But i do think, and this is supported by rights groups, it would be better for everyone if more boko haram suspects were arrested, taken to court, and convicted. An horrific attack. Certainly people hope the people behind the attack are held accountable. Beverageofbevera benjamin, thank you. Boko haram is all about religious intolerance. It attacks muslims and christians. Pope francis is in turkey right now to talk about religious tolerance. Hes expected to last in istanbul shortly on a threeday trip to turkey, he met with the president , they exchanged gifts. This is being called the most challenging trip of this pope. Senior International Correspondent arwa damon reports why. Reporter pope francis arriving in ankara to quite the reception, greeted by the honor guard and various dignitaries. His first stop, the mausoleum of the founder of modernday turkey. Then escorted by something that is most definitely not a common sight here. A ceremonial cavalry regimen to the gates of the very lavish and highly controversial thousandroom president ial palace, where he was greeted by president erdogan. At a statement undertaken by the two, pope francis really trying to emphasize the serious and urgent need for genuine interfaith dialogue. Saying were at a juncture where the pillars of trust must be built. Translator we cannot remain indifferent to the causes of these tragedies and reaffirming it is illicit, while always expecting International Law to stop an unjust aggressor. I would like to reiterate more over the problem cannot be resolved solely through military response. Reporter president erdogan expressing his concerns, and saying the world should not only focus on isis. Translator is known around the globe and theres talk about i. S. Around the globe. On the other hand, someone who has murdered 300,000 of his citizens, who has caused nearly three million of his citizens to become refugees is not being talked about. This person is not being talked about. They are talking about a state terror here. There is a trend in the west to put islam on the same platform as terror. Erdogan rounding up his comments by telling pope francis that his visit would have a positive impact on muslims in the region. Pope francis threeday trip to turkey comes at a critical time for christianity in the middle east. We are at a juncture in history where for the last decade christians have been persecuted. For by al qaeda, driving the vast majority of them out of their homes and out of the country. We could end up seeing a middle east where in some areas christianity would no longer exist. Arwa damon, cnn, ankara. Cricket australia says its postponing its upcoming test with india, all this out of respect for phil hughes. The 25yearold batsman died thursday in sydney, two days after being hit in the neck by a ball during a match. The test series was due to start thursday in brisbane. Theres no word on when it will be rescheduled. Funeral services for hughes will be wednesday afternoon in his hometown of maxville. Such a tragic, freak accident. He had his helmet on, yet somehow he was killed. Still ahead here on cnn, protests condititinue around th u. S. After a grand jury decided not to indict a Police Officer. While that officer may be in the clear, according to the law, his troubles are only beginning. Plus, we hear from the wife of ray rice as the u. S. Football player is cleared to possibly play again. Welcome back. The relative calm in ferguson, missouri, ended friday night as hundreds of protesters clashed with police and National Guardsmen. Officers rushed protesters the minute they stepped into the street outside fergusons police department. Many demonstrators were thrown to the ground. At least 15 people arrested. These protests continue to spread around the u. S. In new york city on friday, 300 protesters gathered outside macys. At least seven others were arrested on charges including impeding traffic and disorderly conduct. So just outside of ferguson, missouri, this country is responding to what happened. Many people outraged over the outcome, and the United Nations committee against torture is also thinking about whats going on in ferguson, missouri. It says it must respect the grand jurys decision not to indict officer wilson in the death of michael brown, but in a new panel report, it sharply criticized Police Brutality in the United States and urged the country to fully investigate shootings of unarmed black youth. But thats not all they addressed. Cnns phil black has more now from london. Reporter this United Nations committee has come up with a pretty long list of concerns, ways in which it believes the u. S. Is not living up to his commitments under the u. N. Convention against torture. It talks about cia allegations of torture, a rendition, what it describes as abusive interrogation techniques, it wants the United States to be more transparent about those old programs. It also had tough language regarding guantanamo, the indefinite detention of so many people there without charge or trial. It talks about repeated suicide attempts at guantanamo bay, hunger strikes, and it also does not like the forcefeeding techniques that are used there. It believes they are officially or should be considered ill treatment under the convention. Among other concerns, mandatory detention of some immigrants, including children, sexual abuse in prisons as well as in the armed forces, including rape, and the continued use of the death penalty. What it doesnt like, in particular, are botched executions. Some pretty tough language there, talking about the excruciating pain and prolonged suffering they cause. Now the family of michael brown, the teenager from ferguson, missouri, who was shot by a Police Officer, well, they testified before this committee in geneva a few weeks ago. They said at the time they hoped to achieve answers, actions. They want the u. N. To spread light to expose to the world what they say has been going on in ferguson. And theyre also looking to the u. N. To criticize broader concerns about policing across the United States. In the end, they got part of what they wanted, because michael brown, nor ferguson specifically are mentioned in the report, but they expressed concern for the fatal shootings of unarmed black individuals. It also noted Excessive Force by Law Enforcement officers against certain racial and ethnic groups at a press Conference Marking the launch of this report, members of the Committee Said the events in ferguson are a tragedy, but they had to respect the authoritys decision not to prosecute officer Darren Wilson for shooting michael brown. So with the world watching what happens in ferguson, you can bet all eyes are on officer Darren Wilson, who has been in hiding since the death of michael brown. But when a grand jury decided not to indict him, his life became a lot more complicated. Cnns brian todd has this story. Reporter despite not being indicted by a grand jury or charged with a crime in the shooting of michael brown, Darren Wilson is still living a life in hiding. Something his lawyers say has now gone on for months. Cnn has learned it began just days after the shooting in august, when officer wilson was mowing his lawn. He got a call telling him his home address was circulating online. Within three hours, he was packed and gone. He had to leave the grass half mowed and he had to go into hiding. There are Death Threats against him. There are bounties on his life. Reporter since that day, hes moved from house to house, even staying for a short time with one of his lawyers. He said hes changed his appearance, growing a beard at one point. When he goes out, his lawyers say, he often goes to movies, which offers time cloaked in darkness. In an interview with george stephanopoulos, he talked about his precautions. From where you sit in the restaurant, to, you know, where you drive. Everything. Everything has to run through your head all the time youre watching, making sure no ones following you, everything. You know, you hear or see someone look at you and then lean over and tell someone a secret and that second person looks at you, youre like, do they know who i am . In recent times, his address was published online as part of his marriage license. Though hes not believed to have lived at that home in months. After the shooting he wanted to return to his job. One of his own attorneys told him if he did, he could be executed in a blind alley. Its not a great leap to think that if officer wilson were to start patrolling the streets of ferguson again, that somebody sees what shift hes on, makes a call, and pulls him into a bad situation. As for his further, expert ron hosko says Darren Wilson would be prudent to change his name, keep changing his appearance, put his property in a trust so that it can be shielded from public view. He said wilson will always have to be sharpening his awareness, his alertness. Hell likely be looking over his shoulder for quite some time. Brian todd, cnn, washington. Well, we are now hearing from the wife of u. S. Football player ray rice, whose indefinite suspension from the National Football league has now been overturned. The league disciplined rice after shocking video showing him knocking out his then fiancee in a casino elevator. The case put a spotlight on Domestic Violence in the nfl and across the u. S. Janay rice spoke with nbc about that night. I was furious. We came home and we didnt talk the entire ride. Well, i didnt speak to him the entire ride home. He tried to speak to me. I didnt want to hear anything. I just knew he hit me, and i was completely over it. I was done, didnt want to hear anything. I just didnt even want to entertain it, entertain him, anything he had to say, any explanation. Of course in the back of my mind and heart, i knew our relationship wouldnt be over, because i know this isnt us, and its not him. Well, rice had admitted making an inexcusable mistake, his words. The arbitrators decision reversing the suspension means hes now allowed to play if a team wants him. When you look at that video, just terrible what happened. It is. It did start a huge dialogue in this country. It really did. The news continues here on cnn. Tempers flare in hong kong as police and demonstrators balttl it out in the streets.

And its not ending as quickly there as police there hoped. Officers struggled to clear out thousands of demonstrators who filled the streets early today. Those crowds, some even threw eggs and bottled, we understand. Police responded with pepper spray and at times they used brute force. These protests reunited this week after police cleared out a main protest camp and arrested more than 100 people wednesday, including two student leaders. Derek van damme is standing by in the International Weather center. Monitoring the sailors in the volvo ocean race. Yeah, in the midst of a Tropical Cyclone, they didnt use the cyclone, did they . Actually, they did. Believe it or not. It appears so. Obviously im not in direct contact with the sailors, but ive been tracking them on the gps on the volvo oceans website. Its quite interesting. Because they made it very close to the center of this particular Tropical Cyclone. Remember, in this part of the world, this is madagascar, the continent of africa. Air turns in a clock wise circulation around storm systems. Basically what they did is actually traveled on the west side of this Tropical Cyclone, just feeding into the winds that were coming from a southerly direction and that kicked up the wind speed or the boat speed, between 30 and 45 kilometers per hour, so really using the storms powerful winds to their advantage. This is reunion island and mauritius and the concern has been the choppy seas that the cyclone has made across the southwest indian ocean. Just to give you a bit of an eye of what the volvo ocean race is, for all of our aspiring sailors out there. Its a ninemonth expedition, some of the elite sailors, first starting in Southern Spain and finishing after 11 port city stops and 39,000 nautical miles of traversing through the world, eventually ending into sweden. At the moment, theyre at leg two, from cape town to abu dhabi. And on their travels have encountered this Tropical Cyclone were talking about. You can see the swirling motion, the wind arrows indicating the circulation pattern and thats the Current Location of the boat as it continues to exit away from the storm. So they are getting out of harms way at the moment, but certainly interesting to follow those guys. Did you know that a volcano erupted in southern japan yesterday . Lets zoom into that region. We have footage coming out of that area. When it erupted, created a bit of a travel concern for the region. Last time it erupted was 22 years ago. According to the japan times, visitors are banned from going within one kilometer of the craters. Officials dont expect it to worsen, however the ash could still cause more delays. This is about a thousand kilometers southwest of tokyo. I have to ask and i admit i dont know enough about this. But using the storm to their advantage, is it dangerous . Of course its dangerous. But theres another race from the cape to rio. They actually ride the roaring 40s, a series of cold fronts that just help them move. So its quite fascinating to see what sailors can do.

An Egyptian Court is expected soon to announce its verdict in the murder retrial of former president Hosni Mubarak. This case concerns the killing of hundred of antigovernment demonstrators in the 2011 uprising, the very revolution that drove him from power after nearly 30 years as the countrys president. Nigeriian officials believe boko haram is to blame for a mosque attack that killed at least 120 people. It was massive. Two suicide bombers struck inside the mosque and a third bomb exploded outside the mosque as the people were running out. Close to 300 people were hurt. Authorities say the death toll could rise. At least 15 people were arrested in the u. S. City of ferguson, missouri, as protesters continued, and again, clashed with police and National Gardsmen late friday night. Officers rushed to the group, rushed them the minute they stopped onto the street outside the police department. The protesters are angry officer Darren Wilson was not indicted in the death of teenager michael brown. The middle east is observing a key anniversary, 67 years ago today, the United Nations approved a plan that allowed for the creation of israel as the homeland for the jewish people. Now, nearly seven decades later, israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants a law to make it a jewish nation state. Reporter the flag, the symbols make the point, israel is a jewish state. But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his political allies dont think thats enough. His cabinet recently voted 146 for a bill that would put into law that israel is the nation state of the jewish people. Ze israel has equal rights for every citizen and we insist on this. But only the jewish people have national rights, a flag, emblem. These are granted only to our people in its one and only state. He and others have been at pains to stress that all israeli citizens, more than a fifth are muslims or christians. Opponents say the bill has another purpose. To send a message to the arab citizen that you are a secondclass citizen. Reporter he runs a Group Fighting for civil rights for israelis arab minority. The proposed law, he believes, sends all the wrong signals. If you are american, imagine that in the law, american constitution will be constitution or definition of america will be either christian state or white state. Significantly the president and his predecessor have come out against the proposed law, as has the attorney general. I think that the mission of the state of israel, the mission of the government is to maintain israel as a jewish and democratic state. Prime minister netanyahus remember former media adviser supports the bill. This is what we are doing for the last 67 years. We fail one group and another. We let every ju from all over the world, from russia, from japan, from the u. S. , to come to israel and to become a citizen. The bill could come up for vote as early as next week. The cabinet is split over it. The country is split over it. And at a time when tensions here are already high, it could only make matters worse. Ben wedeman, cnn, jerusalem. We have live pictures for you right now of pope francis. He just touched down in istanbul after spending his friday in ankara there in turkey.

The french president is now the First Western leader to visit ebolahit west africa. He said he made the oneday trip to guinea as a show of international solidarity. Now more on the significance of his visit. President hollande stopped for just a few hours, but the president ial palace here said it was a very important stop for him to have made, both for symbolic and for practical reasons. On the practical side, basically the french have been giving a lot of money to west africa in order to combat ebola. 100 million in aid has been pledged. One center has already been set up in guinea and there are a couple of other Treatment Centers to be set up within the next few weeks. Theres always some Training Centers being set up to help train medical people to combat ebola. And theres going to be satellite section of the institute set up to treat not only ebola, but other diseases of west africa. On the symbolic side, the president is the First Western leader to go into the ebola areas and the president there said it was important to show that people can travel to these areas and not become infected. Having said that, everybody in the president ial party today when they visited the various hospitals and Treatment Centers, had their temperatures taken as they were coming and going and also had to wash their hands with disinfectant, just to make sure that they werent among the victims. In guinea so far since this outbreak first occurred and was first identified by the institute, theres been more than 2,000 cases established and 1,200 people have died. Jim bitterman, cnn, paris. The World Health Organization counts nearly 16,000 confirmed or suspected cases of ebola in west africa. More than 5600 people so far have died from the virus. The vast majority of the fatalities have happened in guinea, liberia, and sierra leone, with 600 new cases of the virus reported in those three countries in just the past week.

Kim had him executed on charges he tried to overthrow the government. The defector claims days after the execution, janes wife suffered a third fatal stroke while on the phone with kim. The defector said north korea didnt announce her death because it was soon after jiangs and the government didnt want her death to be linked to her husbands.

So were talking black friday shopping. Did you do your shopping . Im not a black friday shopping. One time i got stuck in toys r us in times square in new york on that friday. Never again. Thats a nightmare. My answer, online shopping. Thats the way to go. But its winding down here in the United States and big projections. People expect 617 billion in sales alone. Slow down slow down these people are hard core and hopefully they got a deal. They probably likely contributed to that number george just gave. They stormed macys the day before on the american thanksgiving holiday. Of course, where there are crowds, there are going to be some tensions. A couple of scuffles broke out at this Indiana Walmart store over bargain electronics. I never understand where the scuffles happen. I remember they scuffled over Cabbage Patch dolls years ago. A deals a deal, man, you got to get it. Online sales. Black friday shopping is becoming a big deal in the uk. Were exporting it from america. The american traditions of crowds, chaos, and crazy behavior, has migrated across the sea. This is black friday, british style. You start with customers lining up outside a store in the dark, early in the morning. I took a cab and the cab driver is in the quu with me. I didnt know they did it here, but i did it in america a few years back. The deal is here now, so take it now. Added in the rush through the doors, grabbing 200 l. E. D. Tvs. It sold 8,000 in the first hour. Add in another import, a few cheerleade cheerleaders, wearing black and white, of course, and you have that most american of holidays. Black friday shopping. I need the xbox. Wheres the xbox . Black friday makes sense in the u. S. Because it follows a national holiday, when most people are off from work, and its a chance to kickstart the spending. Whereas here in the uk, black friday is just any other friday. It was started here by apple and amazon. Now tesco, john lewis, boots, all have black friday deals. One of the big uk retailers pushing it this friday is asda. Its owned by walmart. And using its walmart connections to try to offer huge discounts. Last year, asda ran short of big screen tvs. Now theyre relying on the Parent Company to fill the shelves as opposed to local suppliers. To sell a lot more 40inch l. E. D. S for around 200. All the tvs that we are selling in black friday have been sourced from either relationships that weve got with walmart and the brand its supplies or directly from walmart factories. Today well sell well over 20,000 tvs. Police in england said there were several arrests after being called to the tesco stores. The chief of police slammed the stores for not having enough security. In london, police were called to three more stores. This trend now flies in the face of the timehonored british tradition of the january sales. We need to ensure that we can save them money before christmas rather than discounting them after christmas when people have already spent their money. It doesnt help many people in britain get paid monthly, so this black friday also sees the last paycheck before christmas. An early pnt present for retailers perhaps. Hundreds of protesters are using black friday strategically, targeting stores, trying to call attention to the controversial decision of a grand jury in ferguson, missouri. That jury decided not to indict a Police Officer in the shooting death of an unarmed teen. Cnns jason carol has this story. Reporter the galleria mall near clayton, missouri had shut its doors this afternoon. The National Guard showing up as dozens of protesters were lying on the floor. More protesters blocked by police at the west county mall, in a suburb of st. Louis. The model of demonstrators, no justice, no profits. [ crowd chanting ] reporter dozens descended on a target in st. Louis, calling on shoppers not to buy in support of michael brown. It wasnt just a target. Several walmarts throughout the city saw protests as well. The National Gard showing up at this one as well, blocking the entrance. Doors did not open until 8 00 a. M. When they did, shoppers did show. Some saying the idea of a blackout may be misguided. Its a losewin situation kind of. How so . I would say, i mean, us shopping on black friday not going to bring any justice to the whole situation anyway. So i think we got to come up with some better ideas. To me, its disgusting. And what part is disgusting . The looting, the protesting. You know, if its not peaceful, you know, its just not right what they doing. And everything is boarded up. It just look like a ghost town. Reporter protesters here kept their distance from the walmart entrance. One of them who came from wisconsin talked about the need to target retailers. Black lives matter, more than black friday. We give thanks one day and then the next day well trample each other for a 50 tv. So all lives matter. Black lives matter. Using social media to raise awareness and spread the word under the twitter hash tag, black out black friday. Hundreds gathered in front of macys in new york that read, out the stores, and, time to act. Supporters calling it a racial and economic rally. Jason carol, cnn, ferguson, missouri. It was black friday shopping chaos and some protests across the u. S. And the uk. Mikely more laidback green friday launched in the state of colorado. Were talking about marijuana green. Legal dispensaries opened early for shoppers as local retailers did and offered holiday deals. For example, an ounce of marijuana, normally 300, went for as low as 50. Stores were packed all day with lines out the door. We assume theyre not putting the marijuana in stockings. Dont think thats happening. Who knows . Paddington bear is popping up all over london in anticipation of his big screen debut. Coming up, why film sensors say this childrens character may not be fit for kids. A new home. Earning your diploma. Providing for your family. Real associates, using walmarts benefits to build better lives for their families. Opportunity. Thats the real walmart. Welcome back. Millions of children around the world grew up reading the adventures and mishaps of paddington bear. Now the popular character is on the Silver Screen and british film sensors are urging parental guidance. Neil curry has the story. London. Reporter the polite bear was spotted in london in 1958 taking his name from the Railway Station where he was found. Paddington reporter in recent weeks, the character created by author michael bond, has been popping up all over the city. Hes an icon. I think hes a cute fluffy bear that everyone loves. Reporter but maybe hes not the only one to mess up because now the marmaladeloving sandwich creature has been deemed unsuitable for some audiences. British film centers have classified the film pg, indicating the need for parental guidance. But many believe that judgment itself to be misguided. Overbearing, perhaps. The censors consider the film contains dangerous behavior, innuendo, and bad language. Look away now if you cant bear to watch paddington in peril. He hides in a fridge and skateboards while holding on to a bus. The dangers he has to bear are largely supplied by Nicole Kidman in the role of a twisted tax dermist. I beg your pardon . The sexual innundo on the other hand is all down to downton abbey, or its actor, who is mr. Browns adopted family. He dresses as a cleaning lady and attracts the attentions of a male security guard. Whatever would lord grantham think. I suppose hes a patriot trying to keep his family together in the face of adversity. As for the bad language, thats understood to be one muffled occurrence of the b word which rhymes with fuddy duddy. Mr. Brown, that is extremely rude.

If youre not a dog lover, you will be. A simple gesture by the captain of a swedish extreme racing team left the group with a new mascot. So the captain shared a meatball with the dog and a strong bond formed. Cnns Linda Kincaid has the very heartwarming story. What began as a quest to win a World Championship turned into an amazing bond between man and mans best friend. Team sweden was competing in the Adventure Racing World Championship in ecuador. The fourmember team undertook a gruelling 692kilometer race, hiking, Mountain Biking and kayaking through the amazon rainforest. While taking a break along the race route, 38yearold team captain shared a meatball with a scruffy stray dog. He had a really bad wound. He looked terrible. If you pick up a stray dog or street dog, you will find the picture. The dog began following them, but their hike was strenuous and they had to help their fourlegged friend out of the thick mud. Soon the dog became just as exhausted as they were. Yet he would not leave their side. So they named him arthur. From the hollywood movie, the king arthur, the knight. And it was like, when we walked in the jungle, he was so hard and tough then. And also when we passed through other villages, there were other stray dogs coming up, and he was like standing still. He was so proud. And thats why we thought he was earning the name arthur. On the final leg of the race, organizers warned the team against bringing the dog, but arthur was determined to stay with the team. We start paddling and he jumped in the water and my heart, i couldnt i just took him in the boat. I was committed. Okay, were bringing the dog. But it wasnt easy, because you have to paddle with the dog in the knees. Its not easy. The team crossed the finish line along with their new friend. They finished 12th in the race, but the new extreme sport champion became an instant sport celebrity. And he had such a bond with him, that he decided to adopt arthur and take him home to sweden. Arthur is currently in quarantine but will go to his forever home with his team captain. Linda kincaid, cnn. Nothing better than a good, loyal dog. I know, whats not to like.
