7:05 pm
can see the people in the streets where you would today and that gathering tonight what is it that they want to see happen in belarus. i think there is a very strong feeling in this when you have both in the political class and among citizens that belarus is brotherly country and it's true for 400 years the 2 nations were part of the polish of the 20th commonwealth and the design here is very much for belarus to move towards the european union to become a european nation and i think that this particular cell of solidarity is very strong here in the 20 if you look at the scene at this stage you'll see that our 2 anthems in fact one is the be all russian national coat of arms and another one is lithuanian but you barely can see the difference constantine good thank you so much

a team to help with the search and rescue operations. well in the german city of leipzig music fans have done something that didn't used to be newsworthy i went to a concert but this was no ordinary show it was a scientific experiment the 1st of its kind in the world to taste if indoor events can be held safely during the pandemic concert promoters and live music fans everywhere naturally a good to see the results it. was there to see it for itself. it's like a blast from a not so distant past 1500 people packed together in an indoor arena in leipzig for a concert of german singer songwriter tim bands go the fans here are volunteers part of restart 19 a study to see if and how big events can be held safely in the era of cope at 19. concert going is my hobby i go to 2030 concerts a year and now that it's not possible because of corona i want to support the study
7:08 pm
to help find out how we can still hold concerts on hunting. safety measures including a negative corona test in a thermal scan were. needed to get inside. everyone taking part in this experiment even the press have been given these medical grade face masks and been ordered to keep them on at all times we've also been given bottles of disinfectant which we used to clean our hands as often as possible. contact tracers worn around the neck tracked the distance between concert goers to identify where in the area fans group too closely together. it doesn't sound very rock'n'roll but the one pop star present was satisfied with the results. this summer we had to endure drive in concerts so for us this feels like the 1st step towards normality if you were to ask the shit to me to no money
7:09 pm
to. restart 1000 is not a perfect experiment wearing masks at a concert and keeping social distance are not real world conditions. i see such as i can do is to show that this is the 1st step you can either say we have no data got or you can say we have done at that doesn't quite correspond to everyday life but that you have to weigh their time and going half way is better than not going forward at all the. singer tim ben sco and the scientists carrying out this experiment don't think it's the answer to all our corona problems but the results of the study expected in about 6 to 8 weeks could make it possible to hold concerts why sports and other big public events again and to do so safely. and finally to what could be the most watched event on the planet kicking off in just under 2 hours time from lisbon the

champions league final gemini's by munich play french side power essential mon. underdogs in search of france's 1st european club title in 27 years on the line of won 5 such titles the last in 2013 but due to the pandemic not the team will have help from the fans in the stands. lisbon spend because stadium will not be rocking it will be echoing only with the sounds of coaches and players and the biggest game of this european football year. by year in munich appear to have the advantage not least because of momentum they've won $28.00 of $29.00 matches since coach kanzi flick took over a then struggling team now they're near the pinnacle of club football. what's guns is on the this is it's wonderful to be involved in this competition and it byron munich every year we have the chance to coach very far in this competition and this
7:11 pm
season in my 5th year we finally managed to make it to the final we want to lift the trophy now it's one of those thing of horn but defender commish will be hard pressed against perry says your man's lightning quick speed out front killion him and neymar may not be displaying it here but they will look to counter attack every time by and push their defenders forward. and buffy credits coach thomas to former mines and dortmund coach with getting p.s.g. to this history making spot he's a great coach everybody talk about body and say he was in the buddhism the busy duties to do that but you do the best season in the story of the club with us and we are very happy to have him with us too cause a coach with crutches due to a foot injury something unlikely to slow the club down in its most important game ever. and so let's turn to the heart of buying a unit deadly sports a lame a heart attack he is in munich right in the middle of things in fact that might be
7:12 pm
implants in the city center i want to ask you about the match up in a moment but 1st what are you seeing there and what are you hearing on the streets of munich. so one of the biggest concerns of course is that if by and nick were in that they would be major major indiegogo in official unofficial celebrations happening here across the city and i've post exactly that question to a lot of buy and munich fans here i asked them will you celebrate will you come out in numbers despite the corporate $1000.00 restrictions and a lot of them said that they probably will a lot of them even said straight out yes they will because it's a once in a lifetime moment and they said that the temptation is there it's so difficult to resist not celebrating especially if i need to win the champions league final and bring home a 2nd treble and of course we saw what happened in liverpool for example after they won the premier league title despite the corporate 19 frustrations and most recently only 2 days ago in sivia after they won the europa league final so and in
7:13 pm
football of course the emotions are the same but the police here in by on here and mention in the city have said that they are prepared of a very similar scenario as happened in liverpool and they're ready for everything. you've been watching by all season. do you think history of the team to finally stop what has been an absolute buying juggernaut this year. well look let's just put it this way p.s.g. of course can equal in many facets and by and munich offensively we have killian and name all going up against the likes of of really robert mondavi thomas then we also have the bat battle of the german coaches thomas topo against huns you like and here we have to mastermind so when it comes to tactics it's a matter of who will apply i'll play the other but i don't really think there is
7:14 pm
a clear favorite because you have 2 very very strong teams so to me this is a very it's 5050 if you ask me i'm. going to ask you but let's see what the fans think how confident that they are going to be back there tonight with you celebrating. you know what the fans are very confident but they are a bit upset because i'm going to get you now to use a bit of your imagination the fans and you to anthony it's been usually under normal circumstances if by and munich we have to win this is a major public celebration would take place this is a very special special place that is city hall right behind me it's a very iconic building and every time by and nick when there's a bell pinney behind me of the lower left and that is where the by and many players they're not invited to come they step out they present the trophy to thousands of fans that would be usually scattered here inside this square but of course these
7:15 pm
are not normal circumstances and we also asked by and nick that in case the club does when what would happen and they said because of course at 19 there won't be any public celebrations but that of course won't stop any of the illegal and unofficial ones we will wait and see a limited talkie thank you so much that is it you're up to date when he's coming up in 45 minutes time. the to. am. i'm secure that the world that hard and in the end is a me your not a latina and more we will send you that. are you familiar with this. with the smugglers were alliance of the what's your story. 'd and when i was a women especially a victims of violence in. part.
