from the sports joining us now to tell us more mark it couldn't have just been this 51 lost in frankfurt what else is going on here yet is definitely something more underlying i mean they were in the same situation last season when he 1st took over the results of very poor people calling for his sacking and he managed to turn it around but i think that kind of thing a deja vu here we have the same problem last season ok the money's to to win the title in the german cup but is this really happening all over again and it's not just the results i think it's also maybe that you doesn't get on very well with the club chairman carl has room in it gives kind of been quite open about it a frostiness that he's big supporter of the club is the president only earnest now he's actually stepping down in a few weeks so i think that is precipitated this really and normally a bias when the players start to grow a moan. a lot he lost his job in the previous buying coaches so yeah but it is a bit of a surprise because they're doing well in europe and it's very tight at the top of

the blunders they go it's all over they can still end up winning the title easily so it is a bit of a weird one but the up to big games coming up and i think that's what's going to focus the minds in the boardroom so it's matched a 10 4th place in the table is a crisis yes because as i say by minute don't normally do something like this for so for them to act so hastily after a 51 when there's obviously something wrong kind of behind the scenes as well i mean 51 they did lose a player after just 10 minutes they were playing with 10 men for 80 minutes so it's very hard to win a game against a team is good friend with 10 men but 51 it's pretty bad but spines biggest defeat in 10 years in the league we've actually got a report now which kind of explains what's happening and what is really interesting of the couple of sound bites there from the captain manual noya and also from from before he heard he was being sacked and actually that quite damning. humiliating

defeat on saturday against. frankfurt it was simply too much by your munich bosses who parted ways with the coach on sunday night. until the middle of 2021. been with a very. shaky start league. season but recent weeks have seen inconsistent results and discord within the team after the frankfurt debacle. this is what has happened is not a fluke if you saw the cup game in bochum last week and what has happened isn't really a big surprise to me it's kind of reasonable rational but it can't just be blamed on getting a red card early in the guy. nothing worked out. so we are in a situation which we have to confront a woman joins us on the other we will have to analyze things and talk about it but

of course we have to change something even co about himself saw the need for improvement before learning of his sacking. of videos a man less we shouldn't be losing $51.00 what we have to grasp is that with a man less it's going to be more difficult so when. something like that should never happen you. know those same worries will be inherited by cobar just successor in the hot seat at bahrain i am let's come back to mark meadows with us in the studio so what now takes over well hanzi flick the assistant manager is taking over for the save foreseeable future and he's a very safe pair of hands he was assistant manager at germany when they won the world cup in 2014 and he's got big links to buy and he's got 2 big games coming up they fail in p.r. course in the champions league on wednesday if they win that game they qualify for the last 16 of the champions league they've won all their games so far in europe so it's not all been bad and then of playing dog and in the big game in german

football next weekend so that kind of is why they've made this change i think. the answer is not really kind of the head coach he's always kind of worked as an assistant in recent times josie marino is available the former manchester united and real madrid coach he's never worked in germany definitely won't but munich job i think is a very ambitious guy whether is a good fit for by and by and fans about that there's oqo also eric who is the coach of iraq's great season last season finished. the finals and also. so we got marriage support to tino who's the top coach they reach the champions league final but they're both under contract so it's going to be really cheeky for buying to get them during the season which kind of gives marino as he's available but they might just think let's give it away for a few weeks months and see how he does so regardless who's managing this team what about the scene what about the rest of the season can they salvage it yeah i mean

they're still in all competitions and yes they're full of their last 2 games but it's very tight and some of them is that it's incredibly tight we've never seen a season like it so they can easily finished up an easy win the gym come again and things are going really well as in the champions league so it's not disastrous they've just obviously looked at this the board for hang on if we let this drag on and we lose 2 in p.r. calls and we don't qualify for the champions league last 16 straight away and then we lose big to a big rivals dortmund next weekend we don't want that we can't take it so let's get rid and hope that we can turn the page we'll see very surprised as i say i feel it give him a few more weeks while an exciting season ahead of us mark meadows to his sports thanks very much protesters have returned 11 on streets as they continue to press for wholesale political reform the country has been swept by more than 2 weeks of demonstrations against a political class accused of corruption prime minister stepped down this week but

protesters are demanding a complete overhaul of the political system meanwhile government supporters have also been making their voices heard. rallying around their leader thousands of protesters are pushing back against cries for president michel aoun to step down his backers say the country needs him to root out corruption and to bring economic stability. they have money in the president isn't to blame for lebanon he's not responsible for everything wrong in the country today he shouldn't step down protesters think if the president needs power the problems will be solved on the contrary if that happens the crisis will worsen over there because the image that the. anti-government protesters that disagree for more than 2 weeks they've taken to the streets forcing prime minister saeed hariri to resign. i don't know how to answer that but if i didn't want to come out here but the political elites made me do this if they had given us our rights we wouldn't come out. more of them

you know. they have little confidence in the future accusing the government of not only corruption but also incompetence more than one quarter of people are in poverty the economy has stalled lurching from one political crisis to another the president has asked protesters for patience. served it very we have put together a roadmap to deal with the 3 points. corruption the economy and a civil state. they are not easy points to deal with it and made any. public opposition against him bridges religious and economic divide demonstrators say no good can come to the country until the current system is out of power. and out of some of the other stories making news around the world saudi arabia has
