8:02 am
the prime minister last week. this is know how the vote was meant to go. full of enthusiasm and high expectations tens of thousands had come to catch the moment their protest leader became prime minister. then excitement gave way to sorrow. and the only thing we have to win we can't go on like this and he will. nashashibi this is our life they don't have the right to rule as if we don't want them famously all the people here everyone and they have betrayed us. throughout the us they are armenia's ruling republican party after a day long session and parliament the writing was on the wall eventually the votes
8:03 am
where. the republicans would not back the bearded opposition leader to take the reins an angry meek culpa shinya and want to be with his people. she was met by a sea of support and showered and confetti. to shinny and who has promised to rid the country of corruption and poverty called for ma civil disobedience. may. there is new option no possibility to go backwards we will move forward only forward and the republic and there is no power that can resist you. last week they talk a prime minister. they speak they try to crowd in their own headed home knowing that next week there will be another vote to unlock this political stalemate yet
8:04 am
one more taste of armenian people power. let's go straight over to our correspondent nick calio who's at the scene there in the armenian couple year of nick question you're on the opposition leader has called for a general strike today in a campaign of civil disobedience is he likely to get what he wants. good morning terry well we are all one of your vans and main boulevards and as you can see behind me there's not much in the way of traffic going on there's a road block behind me people sitting on the floor bring that cause to block traffic people are moving through the city of potential work but definitely lots of students about students have declared a strike they're not going to go to university people's not going to go to school and they're very much in evidence here so from what we've seen so far it looks like people are heeding that call and the roads to the airport have been blocked it's also expects the roads to the country's borders will be blocked it's really sort of strange people have been coming up to us they really happy that the international
8:05 am
media is here also not something you experience that often coming up and saying that for them this is over now for the ruling party they have will have to give in at some point and there's just a matter of time. also we still have to see how that general strike develops if it develops date of the protests that led to the resignation of former leader says he's been peaceful so far how much patients though does the opposition have. passion on yesterday evening despite his fiery rhetoric and the talk of a political tsunami was very clear that this has been and will stay a peaceful movement one of their most characteristic gestures is one of open hands to show we're not. given the numbers here it seems like they can achieve a lot without resorting to any sort of force because these approaches that actually have a very broad cross-section of public support you don't just see young activists these protests we saw older people we saw people bring their small children along people
8:06 am
from different walks of life the square where the protests are happening yes in public square is a square that has never previously been used for political rallies because it was thought to be too big they thought they couldn't fill it yesterday it was filled with people so i think the expectation is that just the sheer force of numbers will be enough and that violence or for use of force will only. due to the image of these protests and won't really be able to achieve anything against the force of the the army the police and all the other ministries that all of us in the hands of the current government of the republican party ok nic you mentioned the passion on his broad support there among the people but the ruling party failed to back him in parliament yesterday did is there an alternative plan to defuse this crisis. at least none that they're letting on letting on about this was an act of pretty extraordinary brinkmanship because in the days running up to this vote they had
8:07 am
first of all it's their own candidate and then they had given people the understanding that they would not stand in question younes way that was the reason for the dismay on the square yesterday because from the morning everyone was basically convinced that this was just a matter of you know a formality that he would be acting prime minister by the evening and then as the day dragged on the session in parliament went on and on it turned out that actually they went back on their earlier assurances that they would not vote for him so this was the real drama of the day this breach of a sort of tacit promise that the ruling party would make way for passion. and that's that's basically the. problem of the situation now formally the constitution sees that we'll have another vote for an interim leader next week so that's the maze the latest date that could happen should they not agree then they'll be snap elections but snap elections still run administered by the current government ok nick thank you so much steve conley there in yerevan armenia.
8:08 am
now to some of the other stories making news around the world today french police have arrested hundreds of people after an artists smashed shop windows and torched cars at a may day rally in paris authorities had warned of possible clashes with groups poll and social media for a revolutionary day everywhere thousands took part in a peaceful march against government policies. u.s. news reports say president donald trump could face a grand jury subpoena if he refuses to answer questions in the russia investigation their former attorney for the president said special counsel robert mueller had made the threat during negotiations in march on a possible interview with the president and donald trump's former doctor says a letter that gave him a glowing bill of health in the run up to the twenty sixteen elections was dictated by trump himself. orenstein letter said trump would be the healthiest
8:09 am
individual ever elected to the presidency or seen had previously said he'd written it. and australian cardinal george pell is likely to face two trials on the sex offense charges he's facing at a court hearing in melbourne five and seven prosecution attorneys agree the allegations against hill should be split the seventy six year old is the most senior catholic worldwide to face trial on sex abuse allegations he's denied any wrongdoing. the international atomic energy agency has dismissed claims by israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu that iran is pursuing nuclear weapons the un agency said there was no credible credible evidence of such a program despite a provocative presentation by netanyahu based on documents he said showed your brand had lied about its nuclear intentions the u.s. backed israel as other stakeholders in the deal brushed off the claims for
8:10 am
it has sparked is really saber rattling and u.s. skepticism but the e.u. said that benyamin netanyahu is alleged truth of the reunion documents and had no effect on the historic twenty fifty nuclear deal which saw iran limit its nuclear program in return for the lifting of crippling international sanctions we have. a stress event for concerns but again i have not seen from prime minister antonio arguments for the moment. this is said to be proved ironic to didn't budge fief when entering into the deal three years ago but mogilny says that's a moot point. the nuclear agreement is based not assumption of fate or trust it's based. concrete commitments verification mechanisms very strict monitoring of facts done by the i.a.e.a. the release then reports so to find it iran has fully complied with its commitments
8:11 am
but the runs response will have what did those who feel a war with israel with a senior n.p.c. in his country would react to alleged is really aggression against iran and syria. the aggression of the zionist entity on the presence of advisors in syria and t's the right of response. and they had a message too for the us whom israel is arguing to prove of the nuclear deal. if us economic sanctions returned there would be no justification in the face of a rini in public opinion of the iranian parliament to stay in this deal. the us has said it will make a decision on the deal by the twelfth of may and signs do not look good the problem is that the deal was made on a completely false pretense i ran a lot on the front end they were dishonest actors and so the deal that was made was made on things that weren't accurate it looks ever more likely that u.s.
8:12 am
president donald trump will deliver on threats to walk away from an agreement he has called the worst ever. the swedish institute for peace research or see pretty says global military spending has risen to its highest level since the cold war broken down this represents two hundred thirty dollars for each person in the world substantial growth in spending in asia and the middle east military expenditure in asia rose for the twenty ninth consecutive year china is the second largest spender globally behind the u.s. it leads the increase in spending in the region with a total expenditure of two hundred twenty eight billion dollars china is followed by india. higher spending by saudi arabia is driving the increase in the middle east if rose by over six percent in two thousand and seventeen saudi arabia had the
8:13 am
third highest military expenditure in the world iran and iraq also play a large role in the middle east arms race well for more on the report on defense spending i'm joined by peter is a man he's a senior researcher at sea pre with a special focus on the middle east and he's a co-author of that report he joins us from stockholm good morning mr b.'s month good morning tell us saudi arabia has replaced russia as the world's third largest spender on weapons what's driving that particular development. well of course there's a decrease for russia out of saudi arabia has managed to increase its military spending out in two thousand and sixteen to two thousand and seventy and it seems that it may need to buy it in relation to each region or rivalry iraq so you may be as fighting a war in yemen iran is also in fulfilling that at
8:14 am
a distance giving support to rebels that kind of heat serve the relation between the two countries and it's very clear. to raise. taxes and existential threat and they find that military capacity is essential for two key iran and back ok the us the us for a second it's been spending less on defense in recent years is that downward trend is likely to continue no downward trend actually already and it really in two thousand and sixteen which role of troops bowman iraq. from iraq and afghanistan the u.s. could decrease its military spending especially during the obama times but things have changed it has stabilized over two years and now troop is very clear he wants to increase and all the signs are that we can see already in two thousand and
8:15 am
eighty a significant increase even don't like to be the norm is one but still a significant increase in u.s. military spending and well it may very well be that in the coming is that we go further it gets what he wants it is that k. through them to nato countries because nato countries including germany are under pressure from the u.s. to increase defense spending i can we expect a significant increase there within nato as a whole. yes i think we can see an increase we already see that in a number of nato countries that is not just because of the u.s. or drove administration osprey but it's also because in those countries poland mainly out of both six states there is a growing and branching of what's happening in russia a growing affirmation of what russia has done in particular in the ukraine and that we were to have seen significant increases in military spending in central europe
8:16 am
and now we see that as also of followed by countries like germany will sweden which have already asked to use increased military spending and have to do that also for the future they are ports says the global spending is now at its highest level since the cold war is this spending is it increasing stability supporting mutual deterrence or do you see it actually fostering greater potential for conflict. i personally think that it's extremely important to ask this question because yes there is a significant rethink the bass search they are regulating actually chan increased tensions and as a result of kind of other conflicts and unsettles that of course we could spend money also better with tenchi on all of these whether that's how or educate a nation or development you name it so i think it's very important that we have
8:17 am
this discussion and that we do not just issue not more spending needs to better the charities. it's a bit about thank you so much for talking with peter of his a man there from the swedish institute for peace research and he was talking to us from stockholm. now for more on how briggs it is affecting the way that you spend its money that's right terry usually the you are trying to come across as one strong block to the outside world but on the inside there's a constant power struggle underway especially when it's about money nobody wants to spend a lot and get little in return so the budget negotiations between the european commission the member states and the european parliament are starting today and they will be more difficult than ever before mainly because briggs it will leave a hole in the shape and crucially size of the u.k. in the use finances. how much money can the e.u.
8:18 am
spend and who gets what won't get subsidized and what gets come out who are the winners and here are the loses. every seven years the e.u. budget marks a political struggle for money and power from brussels green party member of the european parliament tell get knows a thing or two about budget talks she's twenty cents at the negotiating table. the toughest is the behavior of especially the finest ministers or their ambassadors to say we don't have any money we are not ready to pay we are not interested in the common goals of politics because we are only interested in our national politics it's always every country looking at the tour saw how much do a pay in as a country and how much to get back. great seats is looming over the negotiations this time britain's departure from the e.u. will leave a gaping hole in the accounts of about ten billion euros
8:19 am
a year how should this whole be filled should the budget be reduced as the austrian swedes and dutch suggest or a cuts to costly areas such as i go culture on the cards culture policy is disproportionate it's far too large a share of you spending and it doesn't deliver on that with the courts at the end of the day this is a very small part of our population and it receives essentially forty percent of e.u. spending i mean this is such an. even distribution the european commission wants more money to go into the pot and is reportedly proposing an increase from one to one point one percent of the blocks gross domestic product that money could go into defense migration and research one suggestion is an e.u. why digital tax on us tech giants but that's not without complications all of a sudden there would be a real tax capacity which means also some power transfer to brussels and it could
8:20 am
have that the majority in the council is not ready to go for higher budget that would be a disaster from my point of view because that would mean that we all lose as europeans on the global level the e.u. budget can only be decided unanimously making difficult negotiations inevitable there's a lot at stake his specially for eastern european states which. and to be net recipients of e.u. funds. we stay in europe where the steel industry is breathing a sigh of relief fund now for the next four weeks the you can continue to sell still another minium to the u.s. without additional tariffs but if no deal is reached within a month tariffs will be back on the table analysts say now is the time for the european union to take decisive action the german government said it had duly noted the extension and expects a permanent exemptions from the tear gas getting both sides to agree on what's reasonable won't be. other discuss this are not joined in the studio about folk
8:21 am
a try he's the head of foreign trade at germany's jabbers of industry and commerce to welcome to the studio your has ation says that it is happy about the extension how can be happy with the situation still remains very unclear. we are relieved. happy is exaggerated at least we have a pause for breath and the situation has not been escalated. did you expect an escalation. it's so i'm clear what what the u.s. president is doing and what is in the next tweet and he has in visaged german cars and something else now we are relieved that there is an exemption of the exemption for stealing aluminum the u.s. trade deficit with germany is what it is does donald trump not have a point the different tariff rates
8:22 am
a different duty is ten percent on cars and two and a half percent on the us side in europe in ten percent is not the reason for the overall trade imbalance. the average tariff on many factoring goods we are trading is is more or less the same so that means that's not the explanation there are other explanation one explanation is that there's a lack of productivity in the us in producing manufacturing goods from from their own trademarks and that's the reason for the trade imbalances do you think that the e.u. at the moment is doing a good job there is the job sharing between merkel and the cause that is that working in. i don't think it's a quite good strategy we are what is the we are not divided and mr mark hall is maybe is now the good friend of donald trump and mrs necker is more
8:23 am
cautious but she really makes points she's explaining what is going on and the hesitance of the u.s. administration now not to impose the tariffs on steel in elementary and shows us that at least so far it's a good organized strategy and it's of utmost importance that we really are acting in. you need unity so the undivided speaking of unity are not being divided. in europe donald trump always singles out germany as the main culprit in unfair trade relations they're getting much solidarity from across europe first the that's absolutely not true we are part of the european union and the european union has the competence for trade policy so that's first and second is we are part of the
8:24 am
euro zone and the european central bank is responsible for monetary policy so that's not not germany it's the other way around we term an export a c. many. non-tariff barriers for instance stepping into u.s. markets when it comes to public procurement think about the buy american slogan it's not just a slogan and think about different standards in order to sell the term and machines to different us states so we have many at and t. be so-called non-tariff barriers. but we don't say that it's unfair that this should be tackled by comprehensive t.t.p. again renegotiations and not by a two to blight so you want another teacher but we need a new start of renegotiations negotiating a comprehensive. f.d.a.
8:25 am
and not one single measure and no concession right now. thank you very much after intense criticism over its handling of users personal data facebook is in desperate need of some serious love so c.e.o. mark zuckerberg has decided to take the network back to its roots because when it was started facebook was meant to help students and harvard find a suitable date now facebook is going full circle introducing online dating thing is. rockstars welcome for a c.e.o. whose last major public appearance involves testifying before congress. it's only six weeks since it emerged that political consulting firm cambridge on a list of access to data of up to eighty seven million facebook users without their consent and what happened with cambridge on obamacare was a major breach of trust or not developer. of the people insured them and sold
8:26 am
so we need to make sure that this never happens again one way it's a cooperative hoping to win back trust is by introducing a feature that will allow individuals to clear their pricing history but if it sounds like facebook buy to get less involved in its users lives think again the company is planning to introduce a dating service for its two hundred million single users. says it's intended for long term relationships not just hookups tough to roll for a company whose survival depends on people's continued willingness to share their data commitment is key ships are not just hookups. that's all foam of the business side of things inspector terry now thanks god you are watching d.w. news still to come take kenyans currently face stiff jail terms but the country's high court could soon change that we'll find out what's at stake then buy an expressed to win the trouble is over and so after the blunders think of titans fail

8:31 am
all our lives. are. worth friends norden heard from every war or before the cameras are reversible to overthrow a person. or years of hard labor submarines. it's it's very secure dude i was being trolled into richard with me. in kenya homosexuality is illegal under the penal code those who found guilty of engaging in gay sex can be sentenced for up to fourteen years in prison. this means many like noah live in constant fear. the national gay and lesbian human rights commission has responded to at least one thousand seven hundred cases of abuse or mistreatment we're talking about the right to not experience violence simply because you identify assessment care bisexual so one thing that we reiterate over and over is that the face is not about same sex
8:32 am
marriage this case is not about not consensual sex this case is not about sex with minors this case is quite simply about what two adults are allowed to do consensual in the privacy of their home without governmental interference in no as few it's time for kenya's high court to repeal the colonial era law. charisma sure. would be a great start because it's a witness in a position where we're. targeting. people work harder for them to some sort. or you know people. to rest you know who are good bro who are strong who are tortured you know block me. on the streets of nairobi it's hard to find someone who openly agrees with no one. feels the bad and good to. be the other good midsts. human models and they think they should not be allowed in kenya i don't think it's
8:33 am
ok yeah. i think it should be talked about. some but it's not something that should be ignored yeah that's that's not according to the bible according to the legions should not be. in an interview just to see a president who can ya to said that homosexuality was not a human rights issue in kenya. this is not the first time presenter who can yet to is dismissing the issue of homosexuality in kenya as a priority discussion in two thousand and fifteen during former u.s. president barack obama's state visit he almost said the same thing however the reality is there is a significant population that needs this discussion to be had even if the high court rules of the north should remain in place the fight to sensitize kenyans on the issue of gay rights will continue so we're not at
8:34 am
a place where i think we're able to cool bills ninety nine percent of kenyans that this is something that we took set but we need to be able to do is have laws that save these people are protected and then have the people responsible for enforcing those laws be able to do that. you know hopes the courtroom repeal the law so that he can live a life where he doesn't have to constantly look over his shoulder. indeed it was catherine and wonder who filed that report joins us now from nairobi a concert there seems to be a strong anti homosexual culture there in kenya what's behind that well mainly it's because as much as kenya is a secular state by little. it's a society that is very religious and divided between muslims and christians so a lot of people will give you that explanation that it's against religion and that it's not morally correct and it goes against god and the bible and the koran.
8:35 am
how systematically or homosexuals prosecuted in kenya catherine. well according to the lesbian and gay human rights commission they say that at least five hundred people have been prosecuted since two thousand and thirteen so we have a number five hundred but then this is just a number that they have this is across the country it could be more this is a society that if you are gay you are targeted survive and you are targeted for busa of very many kinds so what we have on record is five hundred people being arrested but there's so many people who are subjected to too mob justice who you know subjected to other kinds of abuse and mistreatment so this whole legal process surrounding decriminalization of homosexuality in kenya is very complex and could
8:36 am
take a while anderson there's this current case before the court when it's the high court expected to return its verdict in this case mentioned in your report. well we were expecting a date last week on friday but then off to present to her kenyatta statement during the interview on an international media station it because it became a bit difficult so they didn't see it the three judge bench didn't sit. there wasn't the horror so we don't know when this ruling will be made given the situation right now as you know that just after the statement and just after the ruling was that didn't happen we had a movie that was done by one of the local movie filmmakers that is based on. love between you know same love between two women which which has been you know frowned upon so it's a complex situation it's
8:37 am
a society that really doesn't want to talk about homosexuality or gay rights so it's really hard to tell when the court will sit and finally removed this penal code which puts fourteen isn't a job for anyone caught having gay sex but not really just gay sex but any sex that doesn't lead to procreation or any form of sex that doesn't need to put procreation ok this penal code it's a legacy from the victorian era from the british colonial era if kenya does scrap those laws discriminating against. individuals what impact could that now. well you have a great impact kenya is in a region where homosexuality is stigmatized and you know demonized so for kenya to remove this jail term and basically legalize gay sex
8:38 am
and in the country it might give motivation to uganda which has stricter laws on. homosexuality or gay rights also nigeria which has you know the death penalty on anyone who's found you know how having gay sex or anyone who is found to be a lesbian or homosexual but then this is this could change the way people look at it as it stands south africa's the only country that has legalized same sex marriage so kenya could be well hidden in as much as they're not looking to legalize sexual same sex marriage it could be a step forward thank you so much to catherine and wonder they're talking to us from nairobi now to thailand where a growing up type for meat is putting increased pressure on the environment as corn crops expand to feed growing herds of livestock so we're calling for
8:39 am
a return to more sustainable traditional forms of farming. the main chamique market is no place for the faint hearted but demand for its end product cheap meat is growing around the world. here in thailand the surging appetite for meat has been accompanied by an increase in demand for low cost animal feed. that's a source of concern for retta pet searching plant he leads in the negative that promotes sustainable agriculture in chiang mai. when i turn on is one of the biggest meat exporters in the world. stop believing that the government. supports the cultivation of corn used to livestock fodder. but better to produce food for humans. so from most cultivating this kind of corn can seem
8:40 am
like an attractive option high demand for meat keeps feed prices stable as a result many farmers have come to rely on it for their income but growing the same crop in the same place each year sucks nutrients out of the soil pharma some green has been growing corn for a photo of over a decade he'd actually prefer to grow other crops in recent times has healed has fallen the plants rely on chemical first drives but that's pricey so much so he's run into debts. growing corn is becoming more problematic up to now i have not an alternative i haven't been trained up to do anything else and i need to take care of my family if someone comes along and helps me to change course i'm all ears and that's why russia pet threat comes in he wants to persuade farmers to try out alternatives he travels widely to deliver his message today he's on his way to give a workshop on a hillside village the journey takes impossible landscapes
8:41 am
a sign of the damaging impact corn crops can have on the soil. as demand grows more and more corn is being planted logging is against the law. many farmers flout the regulations. on the rainy season begins feed call might be planted here again what i want for the grass. people i don't need everything here will be open flame and. the resulting ash functions as a fertilizer but the fires have a disastrous impact on the environment. back by the fires happening once a year smaller plants and animals don't survive that's obvious imo it was a devastating effect on biodiversity but the worst thing is the smog the huns in the air for days that might be
8:42 am
a problem. no matter where he goes to pet searching clothes workshop so well attended. farmers can take part fifty three. imagine what this would look like if there were green forests around us. germany's environment ministry provides a million euros in funding to the workshops environmental group w w f is the project's local partner. industrialized capital. and in our solution is involving a lot of faults a lot of awareness a lot of actions to be done so bad it's the biggest challenge to make this happen. this w w f project will run for another three years organizers are hoping to reach some two hundred households the workshops provide farmers with practical help like
8:43 am
tips on improving area geisha and many types of current require more water than those destined for animal feed rats a path searching plant explains how to use natural methods to retain more moisture damilola how this method allows us to slow down the movement of the stream. allows the surrounding land to absorb more water i mean what would you need to inspect impacts the dams regularly i had it up and i couldn't so this man has managed to make the transition for terrorists who i know used to go feed corn but like others he ended up in debt these days he grows organic bananas. the transition was difficult especially because we had no money coming in joining up period. but thanks to the support we got we managed. it was more time to pay back our debt so i'm feeling confident. the w w f instigated project hasn't been as much of
8:44 am
a success for everyone as it's been for terrorists but still half of the workshop participants say they want to make the leap to more sustainable crops. the w w f has teamed. some local businesses to promote the project among them they still got it restaurant in chiang mai by cussing out expensive middlemen the farms products can be delivered directly to restaurants schools and hospitals. it's a project run on ideals and it's by no means certain the market for sustainable goods will emerge but change could be in the air. a look at the sky small gavrilo everyone's affected by the environmental problems we can't wait for the government we need to become more sustainable in terms of production and consumption here to. making sustainable purge use irresistible to consume and. searching plant and his team are hoping there's an appetite for it.
8:45 am
champions league soccer now and the lima hotel here from the that we sports is here to talk us through it a helium let's start with last night's game real madrid against by and munich a thrilling semifinal tells what happened were really into in terms of entertainment value one of the best but by and munich look they were the best side over two legs but they were punished heavily for making two major major mistakes it was a fenian the first leg and last night gold keep us fed all of ice in the second half i don't know what he was thinking that was some sort of strange brain freeze for him because up until that point he had been phenomenal. and of course real madrid pounced on the chance and luck by in munich gave it they are but at the end it's goals that count and they all chalk reanimate around what was it twenty one to nine but they were always full again they lacked efficiency in the finals and aside from
8:46 am
the mess if it's your right back yahshua kim ish that scores all the goals against reality that you probably don't deserve to be in the final harsh words i know but it's true if. it was a nail biting match it must be said i did use pablo fairly early as was lucky enough to be at that game in madrid and he sent us this update after it ended. between real madrid and boy. the current champions around madrid have made it through their third consecutive final. to win it their third consecutive champions league trophy and are also looking to win their thirteenth european cup trophy so you know record a record for them that would be they faced a very. exciting was a scrappy game overall there was plenty of controversy too of course with that

handball which many believed it was. marcello's just before the end of the first half two goals from a goal from hamas of course they used to play here at real madrid and let's not forget that goal from. at the end it was just not enough for a bar in munich real madrid go through four three on aggregate but we'll see how things work i between roma and liverpool and see where that who's going to be playing in the final in kiev in just a few weeks' time is it going to be liverpool is it going to be roma we don't have to wait too long to find out. the real madrid they're in the final who are they going to be up against so never put out going into tonight's match with a five two lead but that of course won't stop italian site roma from dreaming big and hoping to perform another miracle let's take a look. roma have a mountain to climb on wednesday night after suffering a heavy five two defeat to liverpool. but their coach says the team is ready to go

all out to get a result. believe it or not but if you are playing a match the champions league semi final in front of seventy thousand people do you expect us to just shield know we'll fight. i want to team that gives everything that it has come full. look out luckily for roma they've shown just how much they can accomplish when they play their best the italian side turned over a four one defeat in barcelona with a three nil comeback at home now they just have to do it all over again. you know for them i would do it like a computer or smartphone copy and paste that performance not only from a technical point of view but also from a mental and physical point of view they said they got shot already thesiger.

liverpool go into the match with the upper hand but they are well aware of what roma can do with their backs against the wall. but. that's the nature of the game you can turn. in any minutes so it's all about us to be active to do what we are good at and we have difficult to play not to forget we are really difficult to play. sounds like club will send his side out to look for even more goals in rome with a forward line led by england's footballer of the year most sala it's not a bad plan. so liverpool in control there do you think roma the could maybe pull another comeback so the mood in rome is that if you believe it you are already halfway there and their logic is if we can come back against us alone or we can surely do it against liverpool liverpool who but then again how many times to come backs of this magnitude happen reality and of course
