Correspondent flora know she is following the story for us in bangkok florent how significant are the things that have played out this weekend in the thai capital. Well knowing thailands often violent history one cannot overstate the significance of what we have seen on fold over the past 24 hours or so so not only have we seen the biggest and longest rally since the military in the last military coup in 2014 we have seen how thousands of protesters march. Towards the grand palace to. To convey their written demands to the oath or a tease. In defiance of the draconian laws that actually. Ban any criticism of the monarchy by a jail term of up to 15 years we have seen how the protest as you mentioned it installed a brass plaque saying. This is the this square belongs to the people not to the monarch. I wouldnt expect this brass plaque to last for very long but still this can be only qualified as a huge success for these protesters if the authorities are being challenged how have they responded to this point. They have been surprisingly lenient i mean there have been lenient all through these last weeks they have basically stood their ground they have made sure that the protesters will not get too close to any sensitive locations not to the government hows the seat of the government nor to the palace itself but otherwise they have basically been very lenient very de ask elating the chief of the Bangkok Police at the end received those written documents the petition that the demonstrators had originally wanted to hand over to the privy council as a represent. The palace then they settled for handing it over to the police who said that they would. You know forward it to the authorities and to the palace well have to see if that really happens but the police have actually been remarkably calm. Where we can we expect the protests to go from here. While the protest has Just Announced that they will rally again this thursday on the 24th they want to convene again outside parliament where parliament is set to start a committee that will look into possible changes to the constitution so the protesters want to emphasize that they are not backing down and more importantly they have called for a general strike by on october 14th. Unless their demands will be met before then now one of their demands of course is for the government for Prime Minister prelude to step down i dont see this happening so thailand might be in for another few very interesting very tense weeks flora notion in bangkok thank you so much. In the United States republicans valid to push ahead with selecting a new Supreme Court justice to replace respond to ginsburg who died on friday President Trump has pledged to select a woman and says he could make a nomination as early as next week democrats argue that the person this should take place after this novembers election meanwhile tributes to the late Supreme Court justice continued to come in. The steps of the Supreme Court have become a makeshift memorial to Ruth Bader Ginsberg the collection of flowers and cards grew throughout the day. And the eyes of some people in spoke was more than a leading judge a champion of womens rights even a liberal icon.

Delay pregnancy and till i was ready for it and then to choose to do it on my own. The next Supreme Court judge could be very different while some grieve ginsburgs passing moves to find their replacements i gather in pace President Trumps ac could send a nomination to the senate as soon as next week the process will move i think its going to move very quickly actually i agree with the state that put out by which the god will.

We will have a nominee version of the statement President Trump is referring to is Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnells place to hold a vote on a nominee before the election thats angered these protesters outside his kentucky home. Democrats complained that mcconnell refused to move on president Barack ObamasSupreme Court nomination 4 years ago. But theres no legal reason the republicans cant go forward. A 3rd of the president s have appointed justice is during an Election Year and some even appointed them after they had been defeated so there is precedent for that but the lack of consistency between 20162021 the part of the republicans is stark the stakes are of course high republicans could secure a 6. 00 to 3. 00 conservative majority on the Supreme Court and that could have far reaching implications on issues like abortion obamacare and gun rights whoever wins the white house in november.

From building up names in sports law i think sponsors will have more headlines for you at the top of the hour dont forget the website is there for all the information around the clock. On twitter and instagram. Thanks what you. Stand for. Language courses. Video. Anytime anywhere. W. The brain is. In the news even. The most. Commonplace. History. Like the way. This. Came back normal. The slave. Starting september 18th on the deleo. The. European football landscape with big clubs can full into oblivion left to linger in the bottom divisions think of cause the sultan from german champions to the 3rd division all humble your pain champions in 1993 and now stuck in the 2nd tier its a dog dog world capitalism at its finest. Whereas the United States it doesnt matter how bad your team plays. Theyll always be guaranteed a prime time. Im spot. At leeds united theyve been pretty. True big fans have had to wait 16 years for a turn to the top spots in us forts they look after their own in the us the n. B. A. In the n. F. L. Have a salary cap revenue sharing and even a draft system sounds almost like socialism. But hang on this is the champion of the free market economy surely they dont have socialist ideologies leading the sports world today lets check it out. First on the list us sports share their revenues. The Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable franchise in the n. F. L. They regularly draw the biggest t. V. Ratings and sell the most tickets but i havent won a super bowl since 1996. In the n. B. A. The same can be said of the New York Knicks who have a drought stretching back to 1973. He can generate about the revenue. Revenue because much of the. Equally competing t. V. Broadcast deals Merchandise Sales its all thrown into one pot and shit evenly thats why a train like the Green Bay Packers which only has a population of about 100000 people can compete on a similar financial standing as a thing like the new york jets big a teams are effectively handing over cash to smaller markets in order to maintain an equal Playing Field often for their own detriment. In europe on the other hand clubs hold on to most of their catch. The Top Performing clubs in europe dont give out any handouts and their success is typically rewarded with the largest share of broadcast revenues in spain real madrid and barcelona collectively receive about 20. 4 percent of the leagues t. V. Money a club at the bottom end can receive as little as 3 percent. Its similar in the Champions League a large chunk of the 2000000000 euro prize pool is dished out to clubs based on past performances that means newcomers receive far less cash so despite both teams making it to the quarter finals barcelona received 32000000 euros more than atalanta. Every. Level. Of the elite in the microscope the level of revenue sharing seen in the u. S. Looks like a mere fantasy for their Cross Atlantic neighbors. And european football sharing revenue evenly is to much to risk for the status quo thats largely down to the threat of relegation the n. F. L. And n. B. A. Franchises they dont have to worry about dropping out of the Big Money Club because their status is protected. Then theres the salary cap in us sports. Further leveling the Playing Field in the us is a limit on player y. Gers h. Team Salary Budget is about 50 percent of their revenue share teams can under spend all over spend the Denver Broncos were handed one point 9000000. 00 in fines to a series of violations in the 1990 s. And they want to super bowls. And while the m. B. A. System is a little more forgiving the Golden State Warriors for instance have been charged additional costs known as a luxury tax the other spending. Later especially punished if they try to flex their financial muscle in any other section of American Society that would be frowned upon to communism theyd scream meanwhile in european football theyre following that kill or be killed capitalist mantra. In comparison to the us europe lets the marc. Run wild. There are no mechanisms to control labor costs in european football top clubs can spend as much cash on players as they want p. S. G. Spent 367000000. 00 euros on neymar and back pay that could buy all that 70 private islands in the bahamas. Cash buys you titles which in turn gets you more cash and the cycle continues thats one reason were seeing more teams winning consecutive championships such as you ventus in italy by and in germany celtic in scotland and do the most aggregate in croatia but periods of dominance have always existed according to steffan. Only used a salary but the question is what level you. Use a very high level which would satisfy the clubs then you wouldnt have any real effect because the smaller clubs are the. Level if you said its a very low level well that would be the quote great quote but this is in his heart as the gap in europe widens basically any team in the n. F. L. Or n. B. A. Can realistically win the title and the even rewarded for their mediocrity its what critics of socialism hate the most but its happening right in front of their noses and its working. And the final piece in the socialist puzzle the draft system. The labor pool is highly regulated in the n. F. L. And n. B. A. Through their draft systems play is a distributed according to which franchise is in the greatest need. To each according to the needs of each according to our is not really what we. Seem to be. The organizing principle of the legally at least as far as the hurly that each t. V. It needs to be good. So the worst teams are awarded the highest picks and successful teams are punished with lower picks. Its robinhood f. Take from the rich and give to the poor socialism one o one Republican Voters must be livid right well not exactly because the system allows
