it's got to be all about the big names and how it looks on the screen because the closest that most fans north america will come to seeing at a game in italy is on t.v. and if we have those running tracks removed if we have full stadiums that's that such a great look for us having the quality in h.d. on t.v. on the phone or on the computer but also one of those big names and winning internationally in the champions league and europa league those can be the main facets for how this league will grow how do you fans feel about watching football between christmas and. we love it when spectators you know and like i say this is entertainment industry and it's a good time because not only can you watch it if you're home on break or something the story is awful where people watch it with family that's too big part of sport so being able to have that time we don't have to worry about waking up early the next day if it's a late game or you have the entire day off to go spend at the stadium or to watch

watch at home those are such big additions as you are into making it comfortable and accessible and how a play is coping with a delayed winter break it's definitely tougher for them if they say it outside of the locker room or not but if you look at it seem who like interval on with two world cup players right they've been playing for over a year now sheree parasitic and sally go so even if they're not showing it yet you know you might see a strong fifty five sixty minutes out of them but after that you start to see that their legs do start to fade and that's because they've been playing so much you know they'll definitely be looking towards that january break most of all but it is a really long run for players especially those coming off of international tournaments all right when john thank you very much can enjoy those games but think access much. thanks guys now former straining cricket cameron bancroft has broken

his silence over the ball tampering scandal and he's getting a lot of heat on social media bancroft was the opening batsman during the series in south africa when he was caught on camera using a piece of sandpaper to scratch the surface of the ball speaking in an interview on australian television bankroll says teammate david warner made him do it and he was just an impressionable rookie wanting to fit in with the team. yeah definitely i was asked to do it. i guess i just didn't know how to be true to myself in that moment so i didn't actually know any better like at the time dives yet dive suggested to me to. carry the action out of the boat. given the situation that we're in and the guy men are just i didn't know any better i didn't know any better because yeah i just wanted to fit in and to value but perhaps not surprisingly have one is not full of sympathy for bancroft blouse says david warner

is a bully but bancroft seems like he won't take much responsibility by saying he didn't know better my twelve year olds know better brokaw's to tim gilbert agrees if david warner tells him to put his head in a fire does he just do it so his mates like him feel like i have that conversation my kids actually it doesn't wash them or people make mistakes fess up now cricket cricket commentator geoff lemon takes issue with bank coughs language why does someone get taught such tricky fake formal language like dave suggested to me to carry out the action on the ball it's like a tennessee grifter pretending to be a lawyer and others are asking if it would have killed cameron bancroft to wear a shirt in such an important interview while this person just posted a picture of the man who shot j.f.k. lee harvey oswald's with the caption david warner made me do it piece i will be back with more at eight hundred g.m.t. but for now i'll hand you back to folly. john i think you very much for that will

organizations in congress who have been pushing for these every two elections and with me is fred the human rights activist who's been involved in this campaign for the last. now the election commission excluded these three areas from the presidential election what's your reaction. i think it is an anomaly is the embassy of the. perceivable to accept. i think that today we are told for a long time that the so our. government of and are not able to give us the good action. needed. so they are not a boy. i stood them face out. to

leave the discount to me so that we can know. who can look out of this on. able to give us a good shot that's why i can say we must be going to a twenty shown we vowed to government without a mr. that's all we ever do a good election didn't protest in the last couple of years. by violence in the place broken up with life. now that this coming presidential election is running into serious problems with the protests on the streets once again. i think that we are not for the violence but i think we have. in our. given. power sure that we can contest. against.

the. development of a discount rate as alicia. will give of this country because we are a leader people which everybody knowledge did intelligence should divide the good election and development in our town thank you very much that was fred human rights activists to say anything can be any kind of credible election as long as president joseph kabila electoral commission remain in control of the transitional government before any kind of serious election can take place. because the government of president has entered a second week in sudan hundreds of people are once again rallying in the capital khartoum run place have been heavily deployed to stop them marching to the

presidential palace there were similar scenes on tuesday when right place dispersed thousands of protesters with tear gas and live ammunition so far at least twelve people died in the unrest some of it suggest the real figure maybe as high as thirty seven demonstrations angry at rising food and fuel prices and blame the government for economic mismanagement speaking to supporters on tuesday president dismissed the protesters as foreign agents and traitors. one the stats to have a woman who's in khartoum so the doctors are striking and calling on people from other professions to join them how does this protest against russia's rule shaping up so far well and what we've seen so far is that people are not satisfied with just marching up to the streets demanding that the president resign and that his he and his twenty nine year rule we've seen people doing basically they were seen people protesting in different ways. of today for example doctors issued a statement saying that they are on strike they're not going to go to work they

don't want to work for a government that basically they see is oppressing them and is not giving them any benefits especially comic benefits now they were able to mobilize medical students also to go out and strike against the against the government they've also called on people of other professions not just in the state but around the country to join them on a nationwide strike it's not clear yet if people would actually follow through on that one but people are saying that they're not going to be satisfied with just walking out to the streets demanding that the government resign and that president bashir step down and his rule they're going to try to find every single way they can to try to pass on their message to the government that they're not happy and that they want to see a new regime in place of the current regime so what in the end is the likelihood of bashir being forced out at all. well president bashir is that he is not going to step down he as you've said mentioned that he's he basically said that the those people protesting are traitors and are being infiltrated by foreign agents so he has appeared to have dismissed those

people who are protesting on the streets despite the huge number yesterday we've seen thousands of people protesting there saying that they were done with the government but obviously president bashir by saying that he is he thinks that there are foreign agents and that they are traitors he has completely dismissed their protest and now so then as it stands between the protesters on one side saying that they want the government to go away and that they want to see a new government new faces new cabinets new reforms a new policies and president bush you saying he's not going to back down he is going to try to go to provide new economic reforms and new policies but then people said that we've been there before we've heard that before we don't want that anymore we want to new government that would give us new ideas so right now sudan is at a standstill between the protesters and the government it's not clear how this will play out over the coming days with both sides seeming to be very determined to get what they want a moment thank you very much russia has accused israeli jets are endangering civilian flights or launching what it called a provocative raid near syria's capital russia's defense ministry says six israeli

f. sixteen jets coach their strikes at the moment when two civilian airliners were preparing to land in damascus and beirut syrian air defense forces shot down fourteen of the sixteen percent guided bombs while the remaining two hit a military depo injuring three soldiers israel says its own defense system intercepted an anti-aircraft missile fired from syria stephanie decker has been following developments from west jerusalem. russia's accused israel of a gross violation of syria's sovereignty it also says that israeli aircraft in danger to civilian aircraft one of them that was coming into land in beirut airport and the other one in damascus this is according to a foreign ministry statement what we understand is that israeli aircraft fired from lebanese airspace is according to syrian state television targeting a weapons warehouse west of damascus now israel will act has acted extensively

throughout the war when it believes either hezbollah is going to be receiving weapons shipments or any clue of. weapons capabilities to go to hezbollah we haven't had any official reaction we've reached out to the foreign ministry and the prime minister's office but we've heard from the israeli prime minister talking at a graduating ceremony of air force cadet saying that the red lines on syria stand of course that the there's a complexity between the two actors russia and israel following the downing of a russian reconnaissance aircraft in september by syrian anti-aircraft missiles that israel was accused of causing there is a de confliction line in place between israel and russia when it comes to syria it is not clear whether that was used but certainly it is clear that russia very unhappy about the latest airstrikes the u.n. official charged with monitoring the cease fire in the yemeni city of her data has meant representatives of both sides in the conflict together for the first time

retired general patrick come out arrived in her day don't one day to oversee the fragile truce it was agreed by both rebels and yemeni government forces backed by the sound emirati coalition this month. but there have been reports of continuing attacks and fighting in the area the who things are accusing coalition forces of violating the truce with both ground attacks and at least twenty eight astronauts in the last twenty four hours coalition commanders have yet to respond to the allegations. two former presidents of egypt who are both deposed have appeared in the same court as mubarak has testified in the retrial of egypt first democratically elected leader mohammed morsi or barak refused to answer most questions about a jailbreak during the uprising seven years ago which ended his three decades in power morsi was sentenced to death for scaping prison along with other leaders of the muslim brotherhood but that verdict has since been revoked after mubarak testified the judge spend the trial until january president sisi is facing

a crisis of already because he has been able to use us already that he already wields and he has had to consolidate power upon himself for example the parliament is a rubber stamp to his authority he's basically dicaprio of any power the judiciary does as he wishes and he still unable to wield stability in his country egypt is quickly becoming ungovernable and sisi is a free of a counter revolution especially in the run up to the january twenty fifth anniversary and so there's a political gaming of the system that continues signaling to mubarak but also to the dipshit people yes we are coming on the train of the anniversary remember don't come into the streets remember this east of the supreme authority and in the way signaling that i am able to bring all these players into court in essex continuing this power play of consolidating authority around himself so to have an al-jazeera
