9:04 pm
or you're a local political activists to civil rights activists here. thanks for joining me. say friend, why are you here today? why is it important that you wanted to be here at tyree nichols memorial service or as a young african american man? ah, i have to old my service in life mission to being able to support any f american family . i definitely in this time of need as the presidency, see young democrats, we definitely pride ourselves on. i trying to change the narrative on the local state and national level as it relates to our inequality in our communities. and this is just one of those situations where we need to address police brutality ah, on the local state national level. what do you hope comes out of this? what do you want to see in terms of justice? not only in the case of terry nichols,
9:05 pm
but in other cases are police brutality as well. or honestly, i want to see legislation passed both on the local and state level and national level. this is the conversation that we've been having for quite some time, but it's definitely time for us to have some bipartisan legislation that addresses police brutality on a national level. but they've talked about that in other cases to unfortunately this isn't the 1st time we've been going down this road. it was just a couple years ago. it george floyd, of course, there was no legislation nationally that was passed. what will be different this time? what do you hope will be different this time? all honestly, i, i think the unique thing about the by the administration is that they've been able to pass some, uh, quite a few bipartisan legislation ah, over the last year too. and so hopefully this year, during this administration, that is something that they can do ah,
9:06 pm
we're simply tired of just being as a footnote in someone's conversation. but it's time to do that release from geology on the local national level. be addressed in business. the time for me just to ask a year from memphis. right. and let me just ask you, when you saw that video, them came out. what did you feel? what did you think, what, what did you see to see another young, black, african american man in memphis? get beat to death like that? honestly, i was not shocked, but i was definitely disheartened by i as someone who's definitely native men in african american male i, i feel a fear of being pulled over by the police every time i try, i was, i remember when i 1st started driving, i was so scared that every time i was really charged, but i will call my mom every time i got pulled over by the police because i was scared that i would not make it home and call your mom whenever you pulled over by
9:07 pm
the police here that scared of police. yes. honestly and, and it's not saying that ah, that is something that every police officer is bad. but it's, it's that little nuance that is that the back of your head, that something may curve something may happen to you. and i think that every i, that's a conversation that every black mom and every black family has to have with their child that hey i, you have to do x, y, and z to make sure that you make it back home and other people of other ethnic ethnic graces may not necessarily have to have that conversation, but that is definitely conversation that black families have to have with their families specifically their african american son. what did you think when you saw that all 5 police officers had beat him? were african american? i thought that was a regis name. i just could not understand why and why anyone would want to, ah,
9:08 pm
beat someone senselessly to death. i went while being restrained, but this is something that is not me here in america i. there are several, all the cases that have happened, but i think it just makes it a little bit more tragic that the offices were african american. but this does goes back over to the overarching conversation of addressing systemic police brutality here in this country. isaac for and thank you very much for joining us here. appreciate ya. rejoining us on out here. thank you so much. i appreciate it. so you could really get a perspective there from a isaac freeman, a young african american man. interesting. he said, you know, as you just heard him say, he says, i would call my mom every time i was pulled over by police or thought i would be pulled over by police. ah, he's one of we expect more than $2500.00 people there will be aj getting arriving here at this church and arriving now for the memorial service of tyree nichols.
9:09 pm
yeah, really brings her home and gave her powerful perspective. thanks very much indeed for that i get rose under the f b. i has found no classified documents off to search of you as president jo biden's home in the state of delaware. that delaware, that's according to biden's. personal attorney at the search is part of a special counsel investigation into biden's handling and classified material in january f. b. i agents found that several classified documents in biden's, other delaware home, and that's in wilmington or, and let's cross to kimberly hallett, who's our white house for one of course. and kimberly would be monitoring this. um, so no documents found apart. that's right. this is a search that went on, we understand for about 3 and a half hours. it, it has concluded. what we understand is that there was no warrant that was involved the f b. i went in search the um property located in delaware, but this is
9:10 pm
a beach house located in ra hope with beach belonging to the president. and that this was a consensual search. and what we are completely clear on is whether or not the f b. i was looking for something specific or whether or not this was part of a broader search. but what we do know is that this was something that the president was aware of. he was cooperating. and we also know, in addition to the fact that there were no documents with classified markings found in this search, we do to the f b. i did, however, take some documents away in the form of handwritten notes pertaining to the time when the president was, in fact, a vice president under barack obama. now, we should remind you and our viewers that there have, as you mentioned, been other classified documents that were found at the pen biden center earlier in recent weeks and also in the president's home in wilmington,
9:11 pm
delaware. and that is why the attorney general merritt garland, in fact appointed a special council to look at all of this. and just to see whether or not the president had in fact, mishandled documents of a classified nature. not only when he was vice president, but also as pertaining to his many, many years of public service as a u. s. senator. and so this is part of that broader search that is taking place. it is just wrapped up and as we are reporting no further documents found of a classified nature, but the f b i taking from the president's vacation home of hand, written notes pertaining to his time as vice president can. so that's a can we talk about the white house? let's begin, steve clemons. now he's the host of algebra, his weekly show, the bottom line joins us on skype also from washington. d. c. either steve, i was, kimberly says that's the thing is where they hunting for something specific or was it all part of a follow up after previous discoveries?
9:12 pm
well, we don't know as kim, how can, kimberly, how could said whether or not they had a target in mind. go very frequently. the national archives has outlined documents it, it senses is missing, and that's what led them after 18 months to, you know, do battle with donald trump and his organization to get documents. they knew they had. so we don't know the case with joe biden, but what we do know is that many critics of the f, b, i and of these 2 classified, you know, it's really mike pence as well. so mike pence, donald trump, and then vice president biden. now, president biden, and the classified documents controversy has been frustration on the, on the right political right, that the rated the private home of donald trump and yet didn't do similarly with joe biden, even though the found documents ultimately that they were found by his lawyers in his garage in wilmington, so if anything this takes this,
9:13 pm
this special council by basically looking into the private home as kimberly how could said with the consent of the president and went into his private home to check and sort of checks off that box. you know, if for nothing else politically and it makes the f b, i look as if it was fair to some degree. so i think that may have been potentially one of the motivations here. so this whole classified document thing, is it problematic for the president? do you think, of course it is. i mean, i think that anyone that works in the world of classified top secret information knows that there are very serious protocols involved with the management of essentially the nation secrets. and some of the secrets, as we know from president truck involved even nuclear arm secrets. we don't know the content of the many of the job biting classified documents, but yes, it's serious, and i think a lot of people in the intelligence community are dismayed because, you know,
9:14 pm
joe biden was a, was a senator long involved in the nation's top legal issues and also was chair and ranking member previously of the senate foreign relations committee privy to the nation is top secret. so he's someone that is not unaware, including his senior staff. we may have been handling some of these documents at the pen biden's center, also very steeped into it. so we don't know all of the issues around it, how they ended up there, whether it was, you know, benign neglect, or whether, you know, there was some intentionality in this. but what you do get a sense of, frankly, and this is my personal view, is of sloppiness sloppiness with the nation secrets. and i think that is, that is important to take note of, and i've told folks that i work with you said there's a big difference between the job biting situation and the donald trump situation because, you know, donald trump's people fought the national archives for many, many months over these documents, the biting team has largely been consensual, has been cooperative, but still shows
9:15 pm
a lack of discipline if you will. and i think the same thing is true about vice president mike. and maybe we need to take a step back and look at why is it happening so often, right, i was gonna say, just very briefly, steve. so from biden pen, something to all 3 of them. might we assume that other presidents and vice president of all done the same thing in the past is just that nobody ever discovered a, you know, taking these things home on, stuck in the garage? well, it's hard to speculate. i mean, we know that there are people like former c, i a director, john deutsch, who had classified information on a personal home computer. and he was penalized for that. there are senior government officials who in walking that line between private life and their professional public life, you know, have had, have had difficulties. well, we haven't seen it at the scale in the math. and so it's hard to answer your question speculatively. they did, bill clinton have this. we know, of course we watched a lot of controversy over hillary clinton's
9:16 pm
e mail server and private emails, some of which may have been sensitive or classified processed through her private server and whether then that created vulnerabilities for the nation. so this is not a new debate or a new discussion. we've had it before. it's just that it doesn't seem to have taken hold with some of these other franchises. i consider a president, a franchise in a way. there are so many people involved with them. that, that there could have been any number of people involved with these documents, president biden. and now president by stave, brant. thanks for that. so thanks with perspective, it's d clemons from washington. nearly half a 1000000 people in england, wales had taken part in the biggest strike in more than a decade. most of them were teachers, the pushing for pay rise in line with double digit inflation, like many other sectors. there's not above our reports, the government's standing firm despite the growing industrial unrest oh, smiling through the colds. but normally tamara and her colleagues at this school
9:17 pm
for people with special needs would be in site if they want to pay royce that meets the writing cost of living and treats people in the profession. i've had to make these sacrifices, i've actually watch t jobs and for 5 years now, to be able to get to the care we face in my head to be able to put fuel in my car, says i can actually get to lap even friends of mine he have been teachers 43 years, had decided that it's just not for them because they genuinely cannot bear the stress and be the isolate and or, and the what played that, that they are expected to do. thousands of teachers and their families marched in london on wednesday. many stress payroll is should be far higher than the 5 percent offered for last year and be paid for by the government. not comfortable ready, stretch school budgets. that pipe and pay came eligible by then. so what you're doing is you're taking, make me think with enough my mom's name and like,
9:18 pm
it's just you, let's say, like national dimensions you have to say like, putting so much more than ever applies here with these teachers are making sure their demands are heard on what is clearly a sizable demonstration number also paul, wave of industrial action taking in various parts of the economy or calling on the government for pay rises that lead inflation. the government insist is bound by the recommendations of the pay review body, even though it's constrained by the financial remit. ministers gave it the independent pay you body recommended 5 percent for experienced teachers and 8.9 percent for new teachers. there's also progression pay within those salary buns as well. so 40 percent of classroom teachers will actually be getting pay rises up to 15.9 percent this year to the national education union that's far from good enough . they accused ministers of refusing meaningful talks. they go down the restoration
9:19 pm
and they've got to get into room. i'm going to go to the moment. there is not an offer on the table that you can put them on. no, no, i can delay. they should have public set up this friday. the next education strike is due at the end of the month if there's no movement on pay, we likely to be seeing more protests look just from people like tomorrow, but work as in other key professions who at least for now, enjoy broad support from the public within bob, i'll just 0 london. pretty more, i don't use our including policy in occupied these tourism of being prevented from leaving the homes by israeli forces. find out why also be creating defenders in the battle for buck with 3 me to a brother of a soldier killed in the front. i couldn't believe it. i didn't want to believe it.
9:20 pm
well, it was hot, hard time for me. and it's bull. we look at whether this sergeant tinian, well, when i can save chelsea's like best, easy, ah, mammals, gender has extended a state of emergency for 6 more months. 2 years since i was through the government protest as hell. the silent strike and major cities leading the commercial capital of young gone to march the 2nd anniversary. united states and its allies have imposed a new round of sanctions on people and organizations connected to the military. oh, across the border and thailand, hundreds of protesters rallied outside mere mas embassy in bangkok. demonstrations were also held in the philippines protests as a calling for
9:21 pm
a return of democracy and fear that the elections scheduled by the military later, this year will be a sham. the thought miller, well, you know what, we won't accept an election from the military. they want to lie to our people and the world. the military can't hold an election because the national unity government of myanmar can't set intellectually. why do i not matter? we don't want to face more suffering like what we've been through these past 2 years. we will suffer more and get killed if the military stays in control. we want our future back will, inside may mar human rights organizations say nearly 3000 people have been killed by the military since the crew. the 17500 were taken as political prisoners and at least 38000 homes, clinics and schools have been burned down. more than a 1000000 people have been displaced. in a special report from inside the country, tony chang looked at how one community on the outskirts of the city of the missouri has been affected by violence. the body of door saw me are lies in her modest home
9:22 pm
relative packs a bag with things she'll need for her journey to the afterlife. her son watches without emotion, as the funeral rights proceed. she died after being hit by an artillery shell and a shell too close to the fields where she worked. the shell didn't explode, but she bled to death after it hit her in the thigh. oh, up on that then the ground was shaking and my child was crying. the woman shouted, i'm hey, i'm head lice if she die. 09. this primary school in the same village was hit 2 months ago. healing a 5 year old girl and enduring each other's walls, bookmark with shrapnel, and a whole left by a direct hit suggest the school was intentionally targeted by mere mas military. in a nearby clinic, a young boy wince his with pain injured in a traffic accident. the doctor tries to patch him up, but aside from stitching and cleaning the wound, there's very little that can be done. medical supplies as guest tomorrow,
9:23 pm
the military government, right? this is that they cut food and medicine to the area when there is fighting. we have to go with local resist, ankles to solve the problem. even places of worship on safe villages say this church was burned down by the army in the summer, but no one can get in to rebuild or repair. because the area is heavily mind. it's a tactic the military uses frequently. i mean, you know, they are many land minds. we retrieve more than 700 land miles from john da village, which the enemy has planned it. they use it as protection when they're weak. you've lost many lives, lakes amount, land mines of suffer more because up minds that in battle back in the village, the body of those formula is ready to be buried according to local tradition. her possessions of burned. as mourners wail her coffin,
9:24 pm
his nailed shot and load into the ground, another civilian victim of the army that was supposed to protect her. tony ching alto sir, let's take this on that. we can speak to derrick, mitchell, who's president of the national democratic institute. all say the former us ambassador to me and my son is a situation well, it joins us from washington. d. c. welcome to the program at say, look, to years own and still it continues. and you have to wonder why the international community hasn't managed to apply at the pressure that it should have done, perhaps to make a change and make a difference. it is frustrating, as no doubt about it. and you have to look at ukraine and say that most of the attention is on ukraine, which takes away some bandwidth and some attention. but still, this is the forgotten struggle there is want in violence. i considered a kind of domestic version of ukraine where there has been invasion by an alien force. and people who have tasted democracy are just struggling day to day to
9:25 pm
retain their rights and they're doing it in a shadow of asia. unfortunately, they're not many answers that people are coming up with is people of asia, even the neighbors are not united on this. and that creates a sense of frustration that we can't do more 2 years on variety. the forgotten struggle. what kind of pressure do you think should be brought to bear? well, it can be much more done. i mean, the problem is in the us, you can get no arms embargo is vetoed by the likes of china and, and russia in the un security council. but the neighbors can do more to squeeze, they can, they can shut down avenues for funding. sources for the hunter can shut down weapons from neighbors. they are, they are coming in from china, india, and other places. russia is a main source of weapons though that that is a continuing problem. you have to continue to not recognize the military regime,
9:26 pm
isolate them from international conduct to show that they are not going to be accepted. and there will now be a new normal that will prevail. and you have to give more material resources to the opposition. we have to remember that those who are fighting one in election in november 2020, that was credible. they have the people on their side and we should be giving them material support, communications, other types of support recognition politically so that they can continue their struggle and we show the military that will not get away with us right. meanwhile, at the military saying another election is coming, what's your view of that? well, they put it off, it seems just today on to your anniversary. they've extended the state of emergency by 6 months and said that the election will likely be put off for a period of time. but whenever they hold one, it is no doubt they will be. it will be a sham. no one thinks that they can run a decent election, and regardless, an election was held in november 2020. so the people will decide they have decided
9:27 pm
they will not participate in the course of the military won't allow credible political parties and, and politicians to participate. so we can be sidelined and distracted by this i think the international community, if it truly wants to get to a better place and we had mar, has to come together and recognize what's at stake with what's becoming a failed state in the heart of asia. that's going to come at the expense of crossing borders and he expensive everyone in asia, they have to recognize those stakes and start working together to put even greater pressure on to, to, to reflect. what about an international tribunal. very briefly said, what's your thought of that hasn't been set up? it should've been shouldn't. well, yes, i'm sure that's in process. people are taking, getting the fax, collecting the fax for a time where trevino can be put in place. but the other thing we can do, i should mention is humanitarian assistance. there's a desperate need for humanitarian aid. it has to come in through the borders,
9:28 pm
putting pressure on thailand and india to allow that. we have to focus on the here and now with the suffering that you just heard. in your great reporting there, people are suffering and vile with violence every day. and people are suffering quietly with lack of resources. we have to help them even as we work to change the politics. all right, we'll leave that. do appreciate your perspective. thanks so much for joining us, derek mitchell, the president of the democratic institute. while some of the most intense fighting the war in ukraine has taken place in eastern city, but moved to believe both russia and ukraine of last large numbers of troops, but mutes the front lines city, and that in that region. and natasha butler spoke to the brother of one ukrainian soldier kilter, followed me usual with kill defending the eastern ukrainian town of buck moved in december. he joined the army after russia invaded ukraine, telling his family, he wanted to fight for its freedom. his brothers, flava, says volota,

9:34 pm
families that palestinians accused of carrying out 2 attacks on israelis unoccupied east jerusalem last week say that being collectively punished the violence lead to the israeli government. fast tracking, punitive measures. so the reports from the neighborhood of russ element under the watchful eyes of his righty, soldiers, palestinians living in this neighborhood are scared of reprisals. off to one of the worst. the tax on israelis in years occupation forces carried out door to door raids in the ross and i'm resting more than 40 people, including the attack, has family, friends, and neighbors. they say that being collectively punished off the 21 year old heidi outcome killed 7 israelis outside a synagogue on friday. the family say they've not been allowed to leave the home. the whole building has uncles, cousins, and his father. we just saw his father earlier. he was allowed to leave for a few moments but the radio as far as he sent him by cop. we're going to go and
9:35 pm
find out more is ready. prime minister benjamin netanyahu promise swift action in the aftermath heidi's home and not a 13 year old who carried out another attack on saturday. have had their home sealed well, we've just been stopped by the radio authorities of getting any close to heidi comes home. it's a 6 story home with his extended family members already living that many of them are stuck inside has not been allowed out by the israeli authorities for the last 3 days. some of the kids behind me also family members. some of them said that they haven't been able to see their mother or father for the last 3 days have been promised that they will at some point. but it's not clear when intentions here seem to be really high. and often i moved is a neighborhood and so one in occupied east jerusalem, a flash point for confrontations between palestinians and jewish settlers. land grabs and home demolitions, the news rady. right. when government is fast tracking the destruction of homes of
9:36 pm
attackers and their extended families to deter others, it says, but hum, okay, the organization providing free legal aid to have his family and the palestinians, living under his radio occupation says it's punitive. railey government is taking measures both against the palestinian population, you know, repression of the palestinian population and at the same time undermining the israeli judicial system. so whereas we would go to the judiciary, you know, for some level of protection of human rights in this climate, we are very skeptical about how much we can expect the high court to be intervening . many palestinians we spoke to, didn't want to be identified for fear of being arrested. they say is raining restrictions and poor living conditions are giving a new generation. little hope. heidi was named after his grandfather, who was stabbed to death by a jewish, his rady settler, 25 years ago in your mill while they still of the things have changed nowadays.
9:37 pm
none of us expected this to happen. youngsters are disillusioned. attacks were organized through resistance groups in the ninety's and the 2 thousands. now it's done by loan individuals. the escalation of israeli crackdowns and collective punishment of the whole community is humiliating. this new israeli government, especially policies by bend veer or laws of the jungle. he acts as if they are above the law. it's the most repressive government in israel's history. the situation that is happening in jeanine and nablus is all connected. we're one nation living under occupation. it's no surprise youngsters are under stress ali, just down the road. the neighborhoods entrance has been closed off to stop palestinians walking past the jewish cemetery. there's now only one way in and out . palestinians say they're being squeezed in every possible way. all this as hades, family waits to see if their home will be destroyed and leave them displaced.
9:38 pm

9:41 pm
it would be imprudent to allow the american military on to its soil. russia says it will honor the treaties, other terms, even so this is generated fear in the us that the new start treaty could collapse before it expires in 2026. meanwhile, the number of acknowledged nuclear states remained small. but nuclear know how is spreading. that means treaties like the new start may no longer be the most urgent topic on the non proliferation agenda. ah, as for russia, the government maintains it would only use a nuclear been if attacked or facing a major threat. some analysts believe going forward, the country will rely more on what's called non strategic nuclear weapons, which shorter ranges as it did during the 19 seventy's and eighty's crises between russia and the u. s. in the past have been averted through diplomacy. but with

9:43 pm
at protest, after protest in united states in recent years, activists have insisted they won't be fooled again. what are you. 7 now many thought they'd seen progress now the fatal police beating of tyree nichols in memphis has many questioning whether they've made any headway at all in stopping police brutality against african americans. i thought this was over with after george floyd, i really did is the head of black lives matter in lake county, illinois. clyde macklemore, no wide eyed optimist. had found new hope in recent years. but one incident after another, his dash then the state of policing has not changed us. jim crow, this is, it was in about 7 black police officers. it was about policing in this country.
9:44 pm
each incident bears the name of a black victim from a deadly police, choking of george floyd in minneapolis to the crippling shots, fired into the back of the surviving jacob blake. and no, she was content. memphis assault was so ferocious, it reminded many of the brutal 1991 los angeles police beating of rodney king also captured on video. since then, police have grown more militarized, but they're also more monitored. there's been progress and holding police accountable for misbehavior through technologies that record what they do at the scene. there's not been progress on the street toward repairing the fracture relationship between black urban america and police officers. last year, police killed nearly 1200 people in the us, according to the non profit group mapping, police violence more than in any year. in the past decade and black americans made

9:46 pm
a retired officer. what do you put this lack of progress and policing down to i think that we need to have this federal legislation that speaks to a standardization of policies. both requirements for individuals to become officers, how consequences are meted against individuals who are abusing their authority up to including fatal encounters. we need to have an accounting of police agencies nationwide to make sure they're doing the best job they can do for the citizens that and trust them to keep them safe. so that's what we need. but how do we implement that? you implemented by creating standards that are agreed upon best practices standards
9:47 pm
that the lease agencies like the the international association of chiefs of police and that caliah and noble and other established police organizations that really use best practices in terms of getting the best police officers using the best policies and practices, the best equipment, our citizens deserve no less regardless of their station in life. if they are wealthy or, or men, women, whatever, as in the city, they all deserve same treatment under the law as guaranteed by our constitution. you do wonder about accountability, don't you? because people thought that body cameras would be, would make officers accountable. but the officers in this case are wearing them. they're wearing them many times. and this kind of thing happens all the time. why is that? do you think?
9:48 pm
because technology is not the same as culture. and if you have a culture that ignores or accepts corruption, whatever corrupt practices, whether it's excessive force or whether it's stealing a property or up to including the murder of innocent individuals, technology can only go a certain way. policies need to be established with a strong emphasis on discipline and officers understanding the importance of the sanctity of human life. all right, we'll leave it the former assistant commissioner, keys to thank you so much. thank you. so a new green light can be seen in the sky. a comment on at 50000 near journey is make its closest path to earth and perhaps it's for the last time i let brian

9:50 pm
it's mostly on their computer screens attached to their telescopes. you do wonder about what the state of humanity might be in the 50000 his time, but we see the comments in the sky from time to time. what does make them so interesting to astronomy? do you think i thomas, do visit earth from time to time, but not bright comets? that's a rarer event. and when they do what it means is that the contents within those balls of ice and frozen gas and rock that have come from so far in space there, illuminated by the sun as they expand the heat up. and you get these long tails. and these bright heads, and it's there that scientists are pointing telescopes tonight and up into february their telescopes from spain to chilly to hawaii. even james webb is looking at com at e 3 zed t f. and that's because it's thought that the very chemicals that make life possible may have been developed at the most distant reasons,
9:51 pm
regis of the up of the solar system. and so it's commerce that carry them back in on these long, elliptical journeys. and it's when they're close to our planet and bright, that telescopes can pick up those unique traces in those gases are that, that emerge from the comment before it flies away into the frozen debts. that's what makes this common interesting. and the comments that will come from, we don't know where and we don't know exactly when in the future on an ocean stuff . thanks very much the coin by growing that does it here in tato? now far as here to tell us about a bright stall that is retiring. he has a thin d. thank you so much. nick nfl legend tom brady says he is retiring and this time he and says it's for good is haven't time super bowl winner made the announcement on social media. it brings to an end a 23 year plane career. this however, is not the 1st time. brady has said he's retiring. he had announced he was ending
9:52 pm
his playing days last year, only to return for another season. a 45 year old played 20 seasons. the new england patriots before moving to the tampa bay buccaneers in 2020 good morning guys. i'll get to the point right away. i'm retiring for good. i know the process was a pretty big deal last time. so when i woke up this morning, i figured i'd just 1st record let you guys know 1st, so i won't be long winded. you only get one super emotional retirement essay and i use my not last year. so really thank you guys so much to every single one of you for supporting me. early re spoke to american sports broadcaster michael carlson about whether brady's retirement will stick this time. you can never say never, i think with, with tom brady. but what was interesting to me was that he announced it the day after sean payton the coach had signed to coach the denver broncos,
9:53 pm
where there's no opening for a quarterback. but last year there was a, there was a scandal involved as the miami dolphins tried to sign both brady and peyton to comes a package deal. and they were punished by the league for tampering because both guys were under contract to other teams. i think he might have been holding out a little hope that he and peyton might finally get together. but i think with peyton going to denver, that probably was the last straw. and you remember, if he had stuck to his retirement last year, just about this time last year instead of coming back, he might still be married now byron left, which might well have been the coach in carolina instead of staying in tampa. and then being fired after the disappointing season, the team had this year and there could be a whole lot of other things different to the nfl. ah,
9:54 pm
if if a car broke hap kicks off shortly with egypt, al alli playing auckland, a city of new zealand. the tournament is happening in morocco, home to african champions. my dad, casablanca, who are aiming to become the 1st team from outside of europe or south america. when the title are correspondent, andy richardson is in the moroccan capital of robots, where when dad will play their opening match on saturday way, don't have to travel to thought. i'm a rock hard to find a game. a football game is always been popular, but never more so than now, particularly after the national theme achieve the castle will cover, of course they go through to the semi finals. now the decision to bring the club will come to this country was only made at the end of last year. and it's a testament really existing football infrastructure in morocco that they were able to take all not responsibility at such short notice. the clips will cup itself is it's for them and that it's telling how struggle to establish its own identity. it's born out of in the continental couple years,
9:55 pm

9:56 pm
a transferred record to sign argentina, world cub winner. and so fernandez they paid been $1530000000.00 for the 22 year old and a last minute transfer a deadline day deal. i'll chelsea fans will hope the cuts are 2022 young player award winner can help provide their season for now destroys the team sitting tense and the leak was he can see finances as the trumps the figure, a man city paid for jack greenwich in 2021 by $5000000.00. overall chelsea have spent more than $700000000.00 in players. and since todd boldly takeover and we've been speaking to evening, standard football correspondent and his r can fell out on whether front end this can be a safer year to chelsea's nightmare season. it's still going to be hard in place. chelsea. right. so yeah, i mean bread and so the pressure is on the hit, the ground running right away. but i think if you look is past me, he came into play 17 games that he joined. that supper late 7 point split
9:57 pm
became a ribbon play his home equipment agency and excellent. right from the beginning and his low mathes as well to defense. it just the knowledge and seeing that he was excellent, even at 19 years old. so yeah, this is the guy used to hit the ground running, so maybe history says he'll do it again at chelsea. the fee paid in may be over paid a little bit. kelsey said they wouldn't, you know, pay too much for this player, but in the end them to pay more than the actual buyout clause. so they can spread the cost of the contract, the cost of the fee over the course of the contract. so the sign in the daily allows and spread the cost a little bit, but it's a very high phase. the british transfer record chelsea spending in general is a world record amount. so it's only, it's only natural that you expect results and you expect results quickly. so i guess the pressures and grandpas is to make this a success to make this seem a success. and also with this signing, they have to build a team around him for the future. taught them what we without their manager and
