the mother of one man who was killed by the government actually directed her attention to them directly and spoke to him directly and she said she forgave him for killing his son and she said she had no hate or desire for revenge now parents apparently reported the nodded in response and then blinked heavily and then wiped his eyes following the exchange so there was some level of maybe possibly some think that. he already has pleaded guilty and is facing a life sentence possibly without parole that will he speak in court. well the government dismissed his legal counsel earlier this year and he's chosen to represent himself which has. led many to speculate that he'd may try some point to try and grandstand or saying some kind of message out to who knows what.

now authorities are taking steps to try and. avoid death or to prevent that from happening. limited the number of journalists and the courtroom allow them a quarter to 10 and there and they are allowed to report twice a day once at lunch time and i want to let on of the day. but there is definitely no absolute way of preventing him from signing that's saying something so i. just have to see what happens in the coming days while sweeney there thank you very much . for. hurricane marco and tropical storm laura have torn through the caribbean and the gulf of mexico leaving massive destruction in their wake at least 11 people have died in the dominican republic and haiti both storms are expected to hit the u.s. gulf coast soon. storm moore has already left

president the scope of the storms and also the fact that they come so quickly after one another both storms have the potential of gathering strength before they make landfall and could cause significant damage so we're going to get basically a right hook from marco and then a left hook from 4 more. storm surges of up to 2 meters high and predicted for coastal areas in louisiana and mississippi. residents are doing all they can to prepare for the double punch heading their way in the coming hours. authorities in spain are battling to control new surges and corona virus infections in many parts of the country last week the head. quote things are not going well one problem appears to be that the government has failed to employ enough contact traces to keep track of new cases as w.'s young philip showed switchboards many

european champions for the 6th time the varians defeated paris sundram out one nil in lisbon after a tight 1st half kings the call mom made the breakthrough heading home the only goal of the game with a victory by and complete the treble of league title domestic cup and champions league. i this is the moment that sent bind fans into ecstasy after 5 long minutes of overtime came the final whistle by in munich had won the champions league because of a coronavirus for fun in lisbon was played without a crowd but the risk of infection did not stop supporters from taking to the streets of munich. it's also an even if it is even if it is corona we are partying tonight till the end till the end in this case it's a big event you have to celebrate it. after the sunset on the mosque paramount.

precautions went out the window as fans came together to celebrate the sick time for bit variants have won the competition special praise was reserved for coach hands a flick he revived the team's flagging fortunes after taking over the reins mid-season . it's just great they deserve it after the season they've had it's thanks to hand the flick who wasn't even in charge for the whole season it's unbelievable . meanwhile long faces in paris p.s.g. had invited several 1000 fans to watch a game on a giant street in its stadium when it was disappointed supporters spilled out onto the streets they vented back to stray sion with flares and fireworks requiring the intervention of the paris police. but i'm hard from w. sports joins me in the studio actually it's fair to say that wasn't the shootout

that many had anticipated no but since a renowned for their attacking prowess but this was a typically tense affair there was no crowd there but you still got the sense of the occasion and straight away after maybe after 5 minutes or so this is going to be about a handful of moments and those handful of the moments they belonged to beyond the 1st one is think of as kingsley come on their only goal scorer in the match interestingly he's born in paris and pretty much right he's been a footballing sense in the p.s.g. academy was his goal that was the difference that was one of those moments obviously hansie flix his moment was deciding to pick a man who wasn't in the team and his rationale was well they used to play for p.s.g. so he might be axed from out about it's a very retro grade a decision that he made there and some sense of mental noise a couple of months belong to him as well in goal he was absolutely incredible 2 big saves and he's very much the reason that buying can go forward with such aggression and confidence because i know they've got a colossus behind a little bit of life. sure absolutely. so you mentioned

a couple who or what was by a single secret ingredient can you put your finger on the mt rushmore that i created maybe men will know it has to be one of them that you put up they can say come on naturally thomas muifa kicking lumps out of one law that was a crucial job loss not but i think if you put want to head of all the others it's hansie flick he's the man who when he was announced as buying coach the they announced it and the narrative was straight away for good reason or this is just a replacement this is just a temporary appointment until they get the real one they have big 9 and some behind start winning through december and i roll on on this and momentum just rolls on and then the board finally realizes how this is this is our guy and his 1st trick that he pulled was that he had to get people like noir like miller to find a cutting edge again that had sunlight 6 world cups champions league already and 7 domestic totals how do you give them their age and so he was able to reinvigorate

those players and he did something really special that the board loved as he's gone and want to talk without opening the checkbook you manages veteran like friends by not asking for money he's not going to the border not for money and he's going with existing resources and he's pulled off something historic so by an incredibly successful club in german football how big of an achievement is this travel. brings you among the a late you know it's a footballing act of immortality to win the triple champions league you know carries that top of white anyway but to come from where they've come from to do it it's about being 4th in november 2nd the coach appointing a new one and then rolling on and on and on and going on the fate of the 6 months and the champions league is such a perfect crowning moment for this team that we're able to regenerate and i play the big months we'll i'm in for german football it's people from outside look and say well they've won i league titles in a row. the league campione good but it's just about how good these guys are not

what's lacking in dortmund and shell corps and everyone else they're an incredible side but they're an incredible club because every time the moment comes this something inside of these players when they play for this thing that brings out the best at the right moments and then how do you know you support thank you. you're watching the news here's a reminder of the top story we're following for you tens of thousands have to find a ban on demonstrations until rose to demand the resignation of president alexander lukashenko ease warned he could use the military to break up the protests. you can always good news on the go just download from play all from the op still give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news and if you happen to be a part off a news story you can also use the d w r to send us your photos and videos all false happening way.
