you bill of racine police detained around 250 people on saturday during a women's much in the capital minsk the weekly demonstrations have become some of the largest anti-government protests since a disputed presidential election triggered on the wrist in bill of rights but police have begun now also to round up female protesters in recent weeks. thank you. thank you only cowards beat women shout hundreds of women as they faced down the police but the authorities no longer want to let this weekly march go ahead unchallenged. police barely seem to hesitate as they pack women into their trucks even 73 year olds nina but he was briefly detained her defiance of the authorities has made her an icon of these protests overwhelmingly led by women.
1:07 am
it was scary at the beginning but then you get used to it what can you do you know i'm more scared about living with the feeling that i did nothing when all this was happening in my country. with the crackdown is getting harsher by the day and there's still little sign the riot police are deserving president alexander lukashenko who demonstrators say rigged the august 9th presidential election. but dr robert levy over at what is democracy that's been the majority has voted for the president you know. you know nobody voted for him. women taking part in opposition rallies now not only have to fear for their safety but also that of their children authorities have been threatening true move shogun from protester parents and warning that's only been fueling the anger on the streets. well day doubly correspondent nick connelly was at the protest in minsk

and he sent us this report. it began with glitter balloons and relaxed smiles but just an hour in and this week's women's march came to a screeching halt as riot police in balaclavas jumped out of unmarked violence in the protesters park within minutes the police encircled the marchers breaking them down into smaller groups but only a handful tried to get away even though they had the chance to do so most it seemed resigned to the prospect of being arrested the news that could mean spending 10 days in jail. one thing you hear from protesters here time time again is this they call their us all in jail they just don't have enough space there are just too many of us and as if to prove exactly that point just as the arrests were reaching a climax a giant opposition flag appeared in the sky pulled by a drug all the police could do was scratch their heads as the last few weeks are anything to go by it seems that every time the government ups the pressure on the protestors it brings yet more people out into streets against itself people who

1:12 am
of pointing out that not enough has been done in order to prevent this new surge and that for example the testing capacity is not there that should should be here that it will be clear that once children go back to school and people go back to the office that people would want to have more test also the tracking system has been a problem here so lots of criticism for the british government. from our correspondent in london to german football now and if. this latest perny of champions then dortmund are usually close behind run a stop in 3 of the last 4 seasons hosted version of mention glad back in the light game on saturday gladbach also had a strong season last time out finishing up in the champions league spots. there were more than a few bricks missing in the famous yellow wall as dortmund kicked off the season

1:16 am
is. like going. to. probably anything but normal. in this league start to temper the team on detail the. european football landscape. big clubs can fall into oblivion left to linger in the bottom divisions think of keizer sultan from german champions to the 3rd division
1:17 am
all humble european champions in 1983 and they're stuck in the 2nd tier it's a dog dog world capitalism at its finest. whereas the united states it doesn't matter how bad your team plays. they'll always be guaranteed a prime time spot. at leeds united they've been great. and true. fans have had to wait 16 years for a turn to the top but in us forts they look after their own in the us the n.b.a. and the n.f.l. have a salary cap revenue sharing and even a draft system sounds almost like socialism. but hang on this is the champion of the free market economy surely they don't have socialist ideology is laying their sports or do they let's check it out. first on the list us sports share their revenues. the tell us cowboys are the most valuable
1:18 am
franchise in the n.f.l. they regularly draw the biggest t.v. ratings and sell the most tickets but i haven't won a super bowl since 1996. in the n.b.a. the same can be said of the new york knicks who have a drought stretching back to 1973. about. revenue because much of their. equally competing t.v. broadcast deals merchandise sales it's all thrown into one pot and shared evenly that's why a thing like the green bay packers which only has a population of about 100000 people can compete on a similar financial standing as a thing like the new york jets big. teams are effectively handing over cash to smaller markets in order to maintain an equal playing field often to their own detriment. in europe on the other hand clubs hold on to most of their catch.
1:19 am
the top performing clubs in europe don't give out any handouts and their success is typically rewarded with the largest share of broadcast revenues in spain realm of driven barcelona collectively receive about 24 percent of the league's t.v. money a club at the bottom and can receive as little as 3 percent. it's similar in the champions league a large chunk of the 2000000000 euro prize pool is dished out to clubs based on past performances it means newcomers receive far less cash so despite both teams making it to the quarterfinals bus alone to receive 32000000 euros more than atalanta. you know you. reach. that level. we. believe in the microscope
1:20 am
the level of revenue sharing seen in the u.s. looks like to me a fantasy for their cross atlantic neighbors. and european football sharing revenue evenly is too much a race for the status quo that's largely down to the threat of relegation the n.f.l. and n.b.a. franchises they don't have to worry about dropping out of the big money club because their status is protected. then there's the salary cap in us sports. further leveling the playing field in the us is a limit on play a white h. team salary budget is about 50 percent of their revenue share teams can under spend all over spend the denver broncos were handed one point $9000000.00 in fines to a series of violations in the $9090.00 s. and they want to. and while the n.b.a. system is a little more forgiving the golden state warriors for instance have been charged additional costs known as a luxury tax the overspending. the litter
1:21 am
a socially punished if they try to flex their financial muscle in any other section of american society that would be frowned upon communism they scream meanwhile in european football they're following that kill or be killed capitalist mantra. in comparison to the us europe lets the market run wild. there are no mechanisms to control labor costs in european football top clubs can spend as much cash on players as they want p.s.g. spent 367000000 euros on neymar and back pay back up by 70 private islands in the bahamas the. cash buys you titles which in turn gets you more cash and the cycle continues that's one reason we're seeing more teams winning consecutive championships such as events in italy by and in germany celtic in scotland and do the most aggro in croatia but periods of dominance have always existed according to
1:22 am
stephan. only used. in very. well. this is and as the gap in europe widens basically any team in the n.f.l. or. b.a. can realistically win the title and even rewarded for their mediocrity it's what critics of socialism hate the most but it's happening right in front of their noses and it's working. and the final piece in the socialist puzzle. the labor pool is highly regulated in the n.f.l. and n.b.a. through their draft systems players are distributed according to which franchise in the greatest need. to each according to needs
1:23 am
from each according to our is not really what we. seem to be. the organizing principle of the legally at least as far as we heard only that each. it needs to be good. so the worst teams are awarded the highest picks and successful teams are punished with lower picks. it's robin hood esque take from the rich and give to the poor socialism one o one republican voters must be livid right well not exactly because the system allows for a much more even competition meaning the spectacle is overall more exciting but. instead of a draft system europe has a free for all. and european football there are absolutely no mechanisms in place
1:24 am
to control the flow of labor pains complacently spend whatever they want and even pointed to a pair of play has failed to really stop them. in recent years p.s.g. a manchester city have bought their way to the top thanks to middle east investment if you have money you can just buy your way to a few titles less of the champions league of course the big clubs extremely reluctant to share with us or to engage in any kind of equaliser. completely local because the way. the threat of relegation is by the rich we may. feel much he. let's get real despite the socialist ideals within us. from marxist ideology the n.f.l. and n.b.a.
1:25 am
other richest leagues in the world its players some of the best paid every franchise is constantly getting richer. in 2008 stephen ross sport the miami dolphins for $1100000000.00 the franchise is now valued at twice that amount donald sterling bought the l.a. clippers for $12500000.00 in the 1980 s. he sold up in 2014 for a healthy $2000000000.00. this is capitalism on steroids you can't put lipstick on a pig the owners are purely driven by profits how else can they justify charging fans on average between $150.00 and $500.00 per match they take it. in comparison european clubs a lucky to break even the current of pandemic has laid bare how precariously close to the edge many clubs in europe operate. in the last decade proud clubs have been forced into administration from glasgow rangers in 2012 to portsmouth twice in 2
1:26 am
years and others are sure to follow in light of the coronavirus but stephan says that simply the nature of your pain football's capitalist system. going bankrupt is not actually a problem. it's not it's actually a consequence of the system. this is where the differences between us sports and european football become clearer. just as u.s. sports are very unlikely to introduce anything like promotion and relegation it's also difficult to see european football introducing something like a salary cap the labor supply is simply too large whereas in american football basketball it's largely restricted to just one continent. the premier league introduced the salary cap the domestic competition board improves their
1:27 am
international standing would plummet as the best players chase higher wages elsewhere he says the salary cap and revenue sharing would only really be possible if the top teams broke away into a super league and constructed a closed shop system similar to the n.f.l. and n.b.a. . rules that would ensure they made money. was. not only. pussy made but they also get the benefit of. that profit because the competition. but it would also destroy a lot of the beauty which football fans love about the world game yes relegation is devastating but it's also true that any village team can rise from obscurity to the top of the pyramid it's the definition of the american dream that's how leicester could win the premier league and why major lyon were able to become
1:28 am
a force in denmark the american dream doesn't even exist in us for the n.b.a. in the n.f.l. up close shots and rich owners will even move into pirates means thousands of kilometers away from new cities if they think that will bring them into profit. think all of the seattle supersonics. who moved to oklahoma city to become the sunda. all the oakland writers who saw it was ripped apart when they prioritized climb out of the heritage and moved to las vegas. closed systems have their positives and their negatives but if one thing is certain it's the us sports certainly on social issues instead the rich owners from the n.b.a. and the n.f.l. have formed some sort of socialist collective adopting socialist ideals in order to maximize their own profits.
