Behind the mass shooting in Texas Police Say it resulted from a domestic dispute. Is held a hero i perceive. I just did the right thing. Lebanon is a former Prime Minister saad hariri meets saudi arabias king solomon two days after he resigned. Saudi arabia blames iran for a missile targeting riyadh saying it could be considered an act of war plus. One hundred years ago the Winter Palace here its at petersburg was echoing to the sound of revolutionaries as the bolsheviks overthrew the government of the day im reach out and said keep watching to find out why precious rulers find this a difficult subject. And im santa how much with all the sports news including west ham have sacked their manager following their poor start to the English Premier League season. Police in the u. S. State of texas a sundays shooting at a church was a result of a domestic dispute the gunman Devon Patrick kelly had sent threatening Text Messages to his mother nor in recent days at least twenty six people including children were killed in the attack a man who confronted and chased the gunman told reporters he was driving near the church in southern springs when he saw the shooter i did what i thought i needed to do which was. That there was a shooting. And i just did the right thing. A vigil has been held for those killed in sundays shooting dozens of people held candles at a gathering across the street from the First Baptist church in sutherland springs. One hundred eight hundred custer joins us now from. What more do we know now about the gunmans motives. It lauren so investigators have given us an update saying that the motives here were not terrorism related they were not religiously inspired but rather came from a domestic issue as you mentioned there was a text message that investigators described as threatening that the shooter devon kelly had sent to his mother in law who is a congregant of this church now she and her husband were not present during sundays massacre we also know more about this twenty six year old who lived in a neighboring county that he was that he had received a bad conduct discharge from the u. S. Air force three years ago that have resulted from him being jailed in military jail for a year after assaulting his former wife and his child at that time we also know that kelly purchased at least four weapons in the last four years since he left the military its still being investigated how he was able to do so when a dishonorable discharge would have made him ineligible to purchase a firearm but what we do know is that the result of him coming to this church on sunday those twenty six victims dead the youngest of whom were told was only eighteen months old born how did you castro thank you very much indeed during a News Conference in tokyo u. S. President donald trump was aust what can be done to curb gun violence he said the response lay in health care. Mental health is your problem here this was a very based on preliminary reports very deranged individual a lot of problems over a long period of time we have a lot of mental Health Problems in our country as do other countries but this isnt a guns situation i mean we could go into it but its a little bit soon to go into it but fortunately somebody else had a gun that was shooting in the opposite direction otherwise it would have been as bad as it was it would have been much worse but this is a mental Health Problem at the highest level dave what miss Senior Editor of the gun magen official publication of the Second Amendment foundation he joins me live via skype from bellevue near seattle what do you make of President Trumps concentration on Mental Health fair i mean did say that other countries have mental Health Problems other countries dont have a scale of of killings by guns do they. Well no but the i think that they have problems with the killings by other means you know the nice truck attacked which was terrorism. So we i think president trim maybe really on to something there weve got to take a look at what drives these people to do this sort of thing there are ninety to one hundred million law abiding gun owners in this country who did not harm anybody on sunday and i think that this may be a new step but we can take a look at some of these things. You know the Texas Attorney generals on television this morning on a couple of Different Networks suggesting that this really is an example of somebody who violated existing laws against murder and and made him and yet those laws didnt stop him either so on the issue of how he might have been able to a knows how many days at this stage but do you think there is a question on availability of guns and people getting hold of them who to carry out. Perhaps the right people to have gotten and didnt you think there is an area that gets a say there is already an education you think needs to be strong legislation to think its in force into existing legislation well i think we need to enforce the existing laws of the and again youre correct we havent really pin down exactly how this phillippe got his firearms. We do know that he bought at least one gun from i believe a retail shop and c. N. N. Tony. But he acquired three other firearms and were still waiting on them to find out where and how he got those so there isnt actually at the moment any kind of appetite it would seem from the top at least in the states to kind of to look at gun control if thats the case and there are so many deaths by of course by guns or people using guns in the United States what other measures do you think ought to be brought in to help people survive when someone is honest with a gun and is the training that could be given to people to know what to do if someone starts to take. Well i think you should probably recall that this is not the first time that an armed private citizen is intervened in a church related shooting there was genius some back in two thousand and seven who actually shot a gunman who had walked into a church in Colorado Springs and he subsequently took his own life and are back in september there was an incident in tennessee where a citizen come from to gunman overpowered him the gunman actually shot himself in the chest and then the private citizen was able to retrieve his own firearm and hold that guy until the Police Showed up but there are other things too a bear in mind that two thirds and least of the the people who die from firearms gunshot wounds in this country are suicides every year and im delighted that did the Second AmendmentFoundation Alan gottlieb was a dear friend of mine has taken the forefront in addressing this theres a. An Experimental Program right now here in Washington State where im at. To address suicide by firearm it involves gunshot dealers firearms instructors people who run shooting ranges the psychiatry ists pharmacy people and i think were going to do some good with it thank you very much indeed for joining us. And the u. S. President has wrapped up his trip to japan where he met Prime Minister shinzo and the Nuclear Threat posed by north korea dominated talks with both leaders agreeing the time for dialogue is over donald trump now heads to seoul respond to his twelve day visit to asia can hardly report from tokyo. During his two days in japan theres no question that President Trump and Prime Minister they have grown close as friends from calling the relationship extraordinary calling trump a precious friend and they have also strengthened the alliance between the two nations to a level not seen before but its not just because they like each other after a summit meeting on monday they both underlined why they think that alliance is critical standing together against north korea aggression. Theres no point in dialogue for the sake of dialogue with north korea now is the time not for dialogue but for applying maximum pressure on north korea we completely agreed that for north korea to change its policy japan and the u. S. Must take leadership closely collaborating with the International Community so that we can enhance pressure on north korea through all possible means the era of strategic patience is over. Some people said that my rhetoric is very strong but look whats happened with very weak rhetoric over the last twenty five years look where we are right now the two agreed more pressure needs to be applied to north korea saying that should come from russia and china Prime Minister announced tougher unilateral sanctions against north korea assets of thirty five people and groups will be frozen earlier today the president and first lady milan a truck met the Japanese Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko at the imperial power. Japanese citizens of ducted intake into north korea is an issue Prime Minister has worked to keep alive a way of showing strength against the provocations of north korea and something he wanted to highlight with President Trump in town the leaders met with a group of abductee family members and one abductee who was returned to japan fifteen years ago most of those taken have been gone for thirty to forty years this trade was also discussed in trouble again raise the question of the trade deficit between the u.

Lebanons Justice Minister says there will be no action over the resignation of Prime Minister saad hariri until he returns from saudi Arabia Hariri has been meeting king solomon in riyadh after announcing his resignation that two days earlier he quit citing fears of an assassination attempt against him analysts say regional politics may be the real reason hussein huldah reports from beirut. This wasnt just an opportunity to talk the meeting between the saudi king so man and saddle haddadi was as much an attempt to deny reports the lebanese Prime Minister had been detained by authorities in the saudi capital after he announced his resignation on saturday how did his political opponents have been suggesting he was forced to step down and is under house arrest in riyadh how did his decision to quit as Prime Minister brought down lebanons Coalition Government a government that included hezbollah did blame hezbollah and its patron iran for meddling in arab affairs this plunged lebanon into a new political crisis and there are fears it may be at the forefront of the region or saudi iranian rivalry and lebanon are divided into similar parties similar to talks one. And the other is process which means if things will be worth it means that can lead to confrontation between the two parties like what happened in two thousand and six two thousand and seven two thousand and eight and which can happen so thats why we should find a solution to keep or to save the decision. It might be a while before that happens lebanons president michel aoun has been meeting with representatives of the countrys security agencies he is supposed to be holding parliamentary consultations to appoint a new Prime Minister but the constitutional process is now on hold. We have been told by the president that we wont take any decision before know what the circumstances of her leaders resignation from the Prime Minister himself. It will be hard to find a Prime Minister to replace according to lebanons power sharing deal he must be a muslim and if internal stability is to be maintained he must be a consensual figure able to bring the rival parties together but this is not just a Lebanese Internal matter the saudi minister for gulf affairs ephemera us upon says lebanon will no longer be the same after heavy these resignation he says lebanese leaders have to choose between peace and terror in other words they have to move away from hezbollah a party that has allies members of government and parliament as well as an armed wing of the risk of an open ended political crisis is real and with that lebanon risks again being a battleground for others wars.

Has this report. The streets of riyadh may still look the same but this week saudi arabia is significantly different than the one the world knew before the weekend responsible for a quarter of the Worlds Oil Production saudi arabia has always been an absolute monarchy but within its political system there was a degree of power sharing between different branches of the royal family businessmen and religious institutions in order to ensure stability and security in the early hours of sunday however all of that was destroyed a royal decree ordered the arrest of several ministers princes and multibillionaires it was seen as the latest step by crown Prince Mohammed bin solomon in his quest for absolute power is kind to indicate to us that. Its clear in the ground for him. As. Being absent and he is not a dollar a thing any equal it can only relate to minor princes it came less than five months after the thirty two year old prince orchestrated a coup against his uncle muhammad bin nayef replacing him as heir apparent that move followed the much hailed riyadh summit with u. S. President donald trump notably those detained in this latest crackdown are being held at the same venue where trump was hosted among those arrested on sunday was prince and were leaving a billionaire whos assets include shares in twitter fox news and apple one of his companys Kingdom Holdings has reported a ten percent loss in value since news broke of his arrest. Mental ali is also the owner of Rotana Media Group one of the arab worlds most popular Media Outlets detained with him are the heads of other mass media corporations including n. B. C. Group and a our team all of them arrested by the same royal decree saudi arabias crown prince now has a large section of the entire our walls media at his disposal muhammad bin said a man has spent the past two years positioning himself as a visionary willing to transform saudi arabia into a modern and liberal state hes pushed for a review on the ban on women driving cars and has addressed several Economic Reforms in a bid to lure Foreign Investors but hes also spent millions of dollars on a devastating war in yemen that has achieved little aside from an outbreak of cholera and the deaths of thousands of people unemployment in saudi arabia remains high which is troubling considering the majority of saudis are under the age of thirty five and according to financial observers the kingdoms economy is in recession been sandmans policies may be bold and brave as his allies and supporters describe them but those actions have also been criticized as the stabilizing and potentially very destructive. The Saudi Stock Exchange initially fell one and a half percent when it was first reported that nasser binocular tire had been held by authorities by monday afternoon it had rebounded before closing flat on all of this im joined in the studio by jane can amount to is the deputy head of the middle east and north Africa Program at Chatham House thanks very much for coming in what investors make of this wave of arrests investors will have mixed feelings a clamp down on corruption is good news for them corruption cost the economy money and many investors would like to see so the economy with a more level Playing Field at the same time investors are worried about Political Risk erode the saudi leadership and they will wonder whether this is something thats more political than really about corruption in the new or your view how much of this is an anticorruption drive and how much of it is a consolidation of power i think it is both been corrupted is a genuine issue and this is in many ways a very populist state this is part of the havent been so man saying to the Younger Generation in the public im doing the things that you really wants to change but were not seeing the tend of Institutional Development or the rule of law or the corruption in the longer terrible the fact that the Anti Corruption commission is headed by a Major Political figure does increase the risk that it will be selective so what about that i mean is it is part of this the the big private is a huge Privatization Program planned isnt there do you think that some of the people who whove been pushed out were less keen on this than some of the people whove been shuffled into the positions of prominence for years saudi arabias been talking about privatization and diversification and one of the obstacles to that house when the resistance from the traditional business elites who like your way of doing business so some kind of speak up is necessary to really transform the economy what about saudi amoco because weve had noises recently lobbying quite open lobbying from President Trump on trying to get the listing on the new york stock exchange. The biggest Oil Producing company in saudi arabia how likely is that to happen and how will all these arrests in the county corruption drive play into that well theres also been a lot of debate about whether it might be listed here in london but it seems that the company wouldnt meet the transparency standards required for a Premium Listing in london it may look elsewhere like the us but they have got worse some of the just right that was passed by congress so there are various problems and we know the general question has been has been over that in do we know whether thats linked to any kind of potential listing of the america clearly the trumpet ministration is lobbying hard for example to be listed in new york the president tweeted about it and said that he mentioned it to the saudi king in a phone call late saturday night thank you very much indeed for joining us john cannot thank you. Now saudi arabia has blamed iran for saturdays Ballistic Missile targeting its capital saying it could be considered an act of war riyadh is threatening to retaliate and has called on the u. N. To act when i am a port. The rebels targeted the International Airport in riyadh on saturday but the saudi military intercepted the Ballistic Missile although they feel to hit the saudi capital by firing the missile and releasing this video the rebels were sending a message to the kingdom saudi arabia responded with a message of its own iran is the real culprit and it will respond down the time the. Iran provides a who these military experts and planners in collaboration and cooperation with the terrorist organization of hizbollah in lebanon they are trying to control the strait in a dangerous challenge to Regional Peace and stability u. S. President donald trump is pumping up the rhetoric by calling the missile quote a shot just taken by iran the head of irans revolutionary guard says that slander. Iran and saudi arabia are backing opposite sides in the more than two and a half year war in yemen iran is accused of arming the who thiis it denies that the saudis are leading a coalition fight supporting yemens internationally backed government there offering a thirty Million Dollars bounty for those who feel leader abdul malik and rewards for thirty nine others a Coalition Spokesman is urging the u. N. To punish iran saying its violating International Laws with about five thousand People Killed and its worst cholera outbreak it seems theres no end in sight to the war in yemen natasha going to aljazeera. You know the nation says its worried the saudi closure of air land sea access to yemen could hamper humanitarian efforts there is diplomatic editor james bays at the u. N. What else is the u. N. Saying james well it was always very hard to get supplies into yemen but the u. N. Were allowed to bring supplies in we understand from the u. N. That there were two planes that were due to go into yemen today and they didnt get the flight clearances so the u. N. Is subject to this blockade as well as every humanitarian organization it seems and the uns produce spokesman farm harks said they are deeply concerned we do take note of the fourth of november statement by the Saudi Ministry of defense that a Ballistic Missile was intercepted over northeast riyadh and that the who these have claimed responsibility for firing the missile from yemen where where the sharp increase in air strikes by the Saudi Led Coalition on the same day we would like also to express concern about the announcement by the Saudi Led Coalition that is temporary temporarily closing all of yemens air land and sea ports this may hamper the delivery of humanitarian aid to the countrys population we call for restraint on all sides and reiterate that military escalation is not the solution we urge all parties to bide by their obligations under International Humanitarian law to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure against attack. Well the u. N. Is saying it remains hopeful that its aid shipments can continue soon but when you ask them why they say well their hope is based on the fact the south is was said this is only a temporary blockade but the u. N. Is well aware that even a temporary blockade is going to cause real problems on the ground in yemen because of the dire humanitarian situation there yemen before before the start of this crisis head of Population Estimate about twenty eight Million People well some twenty million of those people are in need of humanitarian assistance and out of those the u. N. Estimates that seven million are sick severely food insecure now thats a jargon term but it means these people dont know where their next meal is coming from are and are at the risk of famine one loss to to stick for you lauren just to show you how bad it is in yemen with the food situation with a potential famine situation and cholera situation is this the to stick a child under the age of five dies every ten minutes currently in yemen from causes that should be preventable james thank you very much.

Documents leaked to a german newspaper appear to show that thousands of the worlds richest people have previously unknown investments held in offshore companies its been reported that Donald Trumps secretary of commerce wilbur ross has ties to russian businesses linked to people close to president Vladimir Putin and it appears that Britains Queen elizabeth has avoided paying tax thanks to money funneled through offshore tax havens new parker has more on the socalled paradise papers. It is a massive leak one point four terabytes of material more than thirteen million files most from the offshore law firm applebee they shed light on the secretive world of offshore tax havens and the financial dealings of the mega rich the far as who obtained by saddam the same german newspaper that acquired the Panama Papers last year this is a well established part of doing business these tax measures may not be any. But the same thing chrissy is used by people who are seeking to cover the tracks of their criminal behavior grand corruption kleptocracy requires offshore secrecy as the getaway car for the proceeds of those crimes the files are being examined by around one hundred different Media Outlets newspapers a book asters from around the globe as ross please come forward day one of the disclosures and some big names Donald Trumps commerce secretary wilbur ross with a pound links to russian businesses and revelations about the russian tech tycoon yuri milner documents examined by the New York Times suggest that kremlin controlled Entities Bank and energy giant gazprom partnered with milner to acquire sizable chunks of facebook and twitter the disclosure is likely to increase concerns over russias use of social media to apparently interfere in last years u. S. Election. Also in the spotlight of revelations around the investments of Queen Elizabeth the british monarch around thirteen Million Dollars from the queens private estate the duchy of lancaster were invested in funds in the Cayman Islands and bermuda its not illegal for the queen to have done that but given that she is the head of state and that her duties are paid for out of the public purse can she really afford to be secretive about her finances. Some politicians are calling for a Public Inquiry into the findings anyone is. Putting money into tax havens in order to avoid taxation in britain obviously investigations have to take place should do two things not just apologize for it but also recognize what it does to our society the Boston Consulting Group estimates that ten trillion dollars is held offshore thats the combined output of japan france and the u.

Tripoli. Catalonia has deposed president countless preached among and four of his colleagues a set appear in a Belgian Court next week as the start of proceedings to decide if theyll be sent back to spain where they face charges of sedition and rebellion and even bother has more from brussels. For you for the time being but still wanted by speight the sacked catalan president colors put demand and for cabinet colleagues all the subjects of a european arrest warrant and now due to appear in court in brussels on the seventeenth of november after handing themselves in on sunday they spent hours talking to an investigative judge who agreed not to keep them in custody of monday the Brussels Prosecutors Office said the decision was made without any political influence as they outlined the conditions of mr put him on to release there is no restriction in speaking to the media media there are no restrictions in having Political Activities the only restrictions that we have is the fact that he cannot leave the country he has to tell where hes saying and he has to present himself each time the diversion authorities are asking for the foreign face charges of sedition rebellion and misusing public funds which carry a possible thirty year jail sentence this legal expert says they could spend months challenging extradition but it would be very unusual for belgium to reject the arrest warrant of course all National Judicial systems. Are quite different from each other. In spite of the difference because we share common values and we are also made to theres a restriction of the European Court of human rights for instance while there should be sure of the different Member States have to trust. Each other so thats why. The refusals are rather exceptional the madrid government insists puts them on time the others will eventually have to return military other to. Got again woman like to highlight that he hasnt been received by any European Union or thirty or a belgian Government Authority or even a flemish Government Authority so he might be there with a friend or someone who supports him but he has no institutional backing me he fled from spanish justice but i have no doubt that he will have to face justice. But in catalonia as capital barcelona supporters of secession were happy at the way the case was going to leave it there well hes not three hes still dependent on the decision by the judge we should come within fifteen days and i think this will last until the elections on the twenty first of december so his case has got bigger and i think thats how. Youre going to. Get i think it was a smart move from our president because our president is still even if they dont want it the case will expand and we hope it becomes more international. Than. What we know when the judicial process will begin but its likely to be long and drawn out and all the while the debate over who occupies the legal and moral high ground. Zero russels. A volunteer group in syria says ten people have died from starvation in parts of eastern go to under siege by Government Forces there has these exclusive pictures from the neighborhood a local hospital said at least fifty children have recently been diagnosed with.

A cop twenty three u. N. Climate change conference is taking place in germany is the first such meeting since donald trump decided to pull the u. S. Out of the twenty fifteen paris climate agreement despite being seen as something of a pioneer in the fight against Climate Change germany has a huge dependency on one of the dirtiest of all fossil fuels brown coal clark reports recess here. Close to the polish border in the german province of lease a landscape dominated by open cast mining theyve been producing coal here since eight hundred forty four and germany still carves out hundreds of thousands of tons every day this from a country which bills itself one of the planets most Climate Friendly nations in recent years nor was upsurge in the use of renewables here in germany specially when. Coal still represents forty percent of the total energy mix and more than hot germanys coal fired power stations use the dirtiest coal. Lignite to mind here in three minutes more carbon. Renewables cover around a third of the countrys electricity demand but theres a view that the coal truth is hidden behind the curtain of germanys Green Energy Revolution emissions actually and not dropping over the last two years we have seen basically constant emissions not increasing emissions but constant emissions in the power sector by two thousand and twenty the government wants to recuse the emissions roughly minus forty percent compared to the level of nine hundred ninety so without a phase out of coal its quite simple this cannot be achieved but some believe germanys climate promises were too ambitious a transition away from coal must be done slowly and cautiously. We need to bear in mind that we cannot stop our industrial and Economic Life just to save Carbon Dioxide they will need spirit justing of goals a realistic one option is to replace old power plants with new ones to reduce emissions meanwhile the threats of thousands of job losses has not encouraged germanys politicians to commit to ditching coal but that could change scene michael may have won the last election but shes in negotiations with the green party to help or form a government and the green party have to munns problem is that the old government because they couldnt decide whether they go hundred Percent Renewables or not put a ceiling on new power plants and if you lift the ceiling again theres no problem of guaranteeing electricity in the net the big thing is to actually talk about and then do the final transition step phasing out of coal together with the regions which are highly involved in this process as a palm Conference Begins chancellor merkel knows her nation has a filthy habit that she might be forced to kick by fast tracking a way out of germanys dependence on coal. Yes now live from montana can we expect from the conference. For about twenty seven thousand delegates here learned the next fortnight theyll be battling over the rulebook if you like for the parents agreement which was forged back in two thousand and fifteen but still doesnt have its implementation room so thats what theyve got to focus on here this whole concept of reducing Global Warming and keeping it real a two degree celsius ideally one of the hoff to resell says its going to be a lot all process over the next fortnight now the philippines has had plenty of storms like many countries but one of the worst was back in two thousand and thirteen with typhoon haiyan in which more than five thousand people died i want to introduce you to a man who survived that indeed helped lots of other people survive as well its not a happy experience for you a jeep but its one that drive you want to be a climate activists sun it just tell us about what happened during that typhoon well. Its almost four years now but they can see you vividly remember what happened there. And i bet that during. In the downtown area trapped in a building and the building shaking for almost two hours and you could just feel that its going to go down in any any moment and really sure that somewhere someone else was dying outside of that building if they knew that the houses were not built for super storms so you got involved in the rescue effort the less right after but there was so little to rescue to do less people to rescue a lot of people who already died and it was it was more about recovering bodies was more afraid covering bodies in a phone myself digging up dead bodies the next four days and just too terrible the worst part was when we tried to fit in four children in one by. And they would have nightmares and they can still see the faces of those kids good enough to know well thats terribly upsetting in the house how is this driven you or do you do now in terms of trying to get people to change their minds about this nothing else that i could do but to meet myself in talking about it so seems twenty thirty and i have been going around the world talking to people especially big nations have spent a lot of time you telling communities about whats happening in our side of the world as an effect of what their lifestyles are or. Affect i think. You can addressing the conference here in telling them all about your experiences and hoping it will change if you mostly freeze your time thank you very much indeed so there you have it a very real example of the effects that Climate Change can have and as things get worse and more storms more ferocious those sort of stories will become more commonplace more back to thank you very much indeed. Still come well have the sports news including we find out if the International Football friendly could soon be a sing of the past. Week. Thank. You. Its a hundred uses the bolsheviks stormed the Winter Palace and sent pieces but one of the key events in the Russian Revolution a Pivotal Moment in World History is being described by historians as the birth of the soviet union but as reports from modern day Saint Petersburg is being largely overlooked by russias current leadership. Yeah yeah. Old habits seem to die hard in St Petersburg events marking the bolshevik revolution santander had at least something of the old celebrates reactions where the anniversary was unequivocally so in the soviet times a day of pomp and ceremony but these days russians are less sure what a thing it was demi moore after a while you start to reexamine these events and there is no unequivocal opinion on it is too complicated too many things are connected with it. At school we were told one thing then there was more information and we learnt the other side nothing is ever black and white there are ten different shades this unease goes all the way to the top. We see how ambiguous its results were how closely the negative and we must acknowledge the positive consequences of those events are intertwined lets ask ourselves was it not possible to follow an evolutionary path rather than go through a revolution a few and a handful of still committed communists would appreciate bombastic anniversaries like in the soviet days but it seems theres zero state enthusiasm for holding an official event even market moments that change the world its not hard to see why peace in this government finds the bolshevik revolution a difficult subjects that brought down an empire led to the murder of the former ruler and millions of citizens and shattered the global order of the day how do you follow all of that in some modern russia states indorsed mantra stability. The governments may be mostly mute but others arent St Petersburgs Winter Palace now houses the have a taj museum and it was down these corridors that revolutionaries ran a century ago to depose the provisional governments visitors to the near exhibition here can amongst other things see portraits of perforated by bayonets in one nine hundred seventeen. Journalist and author. Has set up project nine hundred seventeen which reports the revolution day by day as if it were happening now hes happy theres little official interest in todays russia sometimes almost all all the time historys being used as a propaganda tool so now in terms of nineteen seventeen there is no official putin approved person off that revolution and thats cool that means that we can discuss it we can explore it we cant make independent historical or Media Projects about that and we see no obstacles. Whether it be packaged as education project or entertainments like this project it sounded like spectacular interested russians are talking about the revolution even if that government is.

Footballs world governing is considering a huge shake up. Of the International Game fifo want to expand the idea of europes a new Nations League and make it a global tournament many of the worlds top footballers are International Duty this week it taking part in friendly matches but from next year the Nations League will see most friendlies disappearing from the fixture list and said European Countries will take part in a competitive a year round league event is in addition to the existing european championships and world cup. While fifty five european teams will be divided into four leagues a b. C. And d. A will contain the best teams and d. The worst league they will include the likes of germany portugal and spain with teams competing to be crowned at the nations the champions countries and will be promoted and relegated between the leagues similar to how domestic cup competitions work each edition that will begin in september of an even a day to day year and will conclude in the following year it means a new champion will be crowned every two years the competition will also provide an alternative route to the european championship. Earlier we spoke to our sports correspondingly weddings about the thinking of behind the new league and how it could work on a global scale. Long term it might be a good solution and i actually there are a lot of merits to this idea shows how we have to accept its incredibly confusing and its going to take time to settle him because of course this competition move on similar tiny asli with things like in europe the qualification for major tournament the two things happening effectively at the same time what does go yes is International Friendlies i think weve all grown there is that there actually is seems a chore now with the rise of card football in a way and people actually miss card football when it goes in the International Breaks come about yes its really in pole where nations are trying to qualify for world cup or their domestic told them its but actually weve got to a stage now where just any Old International friendly isnt doing it for the public in most countries so you can see where theyre trying to change things its just a very complicated process and it will take time the other good thing about it i think is actually trying to make less mismatched games weve all become a little bit fed up of mismatch games thats not disparaging at all to smaller countries they should get a chance ultimately of qualifying for big bold words but you dont want to see teams winning eight nine ten no two regularly but theres always a little bit of a concern that chile youll find a major nation thats really failed in qualifying and doesnt deserve to qualify through this can be given a Second Chance is that fair i dont particularly think so if you failed you failed.
