a pluck symbolizing thailand's transition to democracy protests began on saturday at the biggest the country has seen this. correspondent flora know she is following the story for us in bangkok florent how significant are the things that have played out this weekend in the thai capital. well knowing thailand's often violent history one cannot overstate the significance of what we have seen on fold over the past 24 hours or so so not only have we seen the biggest and longest rally since the military in the last military coup in 2014 we have seen how thousands of protesters march. towards the grand palace to. to convey their written demands to the oath or a tease. in defiance of the draconian laws that actually. ban
7:03 am
any criticism of the monarchy by a jail term of up to 15 years we have seen how the protest as you mentioned it installed a brass plaque saying. this is the this square belongs to the people not to the monarch. i wouldn't expect this brass plaque to last for very long but still this can be only qualified as a huge success for these protesters if the authorities are being challenged how have they responded to this point. they have been surprisingly lenient i mean there have been lenient all through these last weeks they have basically stood their ground they have made sure that the protesters will not get too close to any sensitive locations not to the government how's the seat of the
7:04 am
government nor to the palace itself but otherwise they have basically been very lenient very de ask elating the chief of the bangkok police at the end received those written documents the petition that the demonstrators had originally wanted to hand over to the privy council as a represent. the palace then they settled for handing it over to the police who said that they would. you know forward it to the authorities and to the palace we'll have to see if that really happens but the police have actually been remarkably calm. where we can we expect the protests to go from here. while the protest has just announced that they will rally again this thursday on the 24th they want to convene again outside parliament where parliament is set to start a committee that will look into possible changes to the constitution so the protesters
7:05 am
want to emphasize that they are not backing down and more importantly they have called for a general strike by on october 14th. unless their demands will be met before then now one of their demands of course is for the government for prime minister prelude to step down i don't see this happening so thailand might be in for another few very interesting very tense weeks flora notion in bangkok thank you so much. in the united states republicans valid to push ahead with selecting a new supreme court justice to replace respond to ginsburg who died on friday president trump has pledged to select a woman and says he could make a nomination as early as next week democrats argue that the person this should take place after this november's election meanwhile tributes to the late supreme court justice continued to come in. the steps of the supreme court have become
7:06 am
a makeshift memorial to ruth bader ginsberg the collection of flowers and cards grew throughout the day. and the eyes of some people in spoke was more than a leading judge a champion of women's rights even a liberal icon. it was because of the work that she's done that i was able to have a good job that allowed me as a single woman to support myself and to choose to have the family to have reproductive choices that allowed me to. delay pregnancy and till i was ready for it and then to choose to do it on my own. the next supreme court judge could be very different while some grieve ginsburg's passing moves to find their replacements i gather in pace president trumps ac could send a nomination to the senate as soon as next week the process will move i think it's
7:07 am
going to move very quickly actually i agree with the state that put out by which the god will. do it actually 100 percent i put out a very similar statement you saw so i think we're going to start the brushes extremely soon. we will have a nominee version of the statement president trump is referring to is senate majority leader mitch mcconnell's place to hold a vote on a nominee before the election that's angered these protesters outside his kentucky home. democrats complained that mcconnell refused to move on president barack obama's supreme court nomination 4 years ago. but there's no legal reason the republicans can't go forward. a 3rd of the presidents have appointed justice is during an election year and some even appointed them after they had been defeated so there is precedent for that but the lack of consistency between

20162021 the part of the republicans is stark the stakes are of course high republicans could secure a $6.00 to $3.00 conservative majority on the supreme court and that could have far reaching implications on issues like abortion obamacare and gun rights whoever wins the white house in november. ok let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world the u.s. has delayed a ban on downloading tick-tock by one week comes off the president donald trump supported the new deal to allow to talk to continue to operate in the united states under the control of u.s. by scum pony's oracle and warm us the u.s. has been targeting the chinese and citing security concerns. policing bellaver as have detained hundreds of people during a women's march in the capital minsk weekly protest has become one of the largest anti-government actions since a disputed presidential election triggered on wrist in the eastern european country

it some of the city's be holes are encouraging revelers to celebrate there instead they have an easement coronavirus regulations but officials are concerned. yes. at 12 on the dot the 1st cake is tapped but that's all that's going on as usual this year iran 50th meaning speer halls are taking part in their own self styled version of october fest. in goods they won't be the usual money maker but it isn't a party either it's more like a normal restaurant environment but with a bit more atmosphere these and. it's officially not business as usual this year vacant and almost deserted this site normally plays host to the state organized october fest which brings more than $6000000.00 visitors each year and over a 1000000000 euros in revenue. how does it feel if we missed the october fest
7:11 am
we're making the best of it. the venues taking part told to keep some of their real festival feeling alive but hygiene regulations are strict entry is controlled social distancing and the wearing of mosques is enforced still some people have their reservations i reckon we could have manage one year without oct 1st is the sense that it's really pretty phil i wouldn't want to throw myself into the crowds . you definitely notice a difference. the police keep a watchful eye as coronavirus cases increasingly rise in meaning. for this reason children will have to wear masks to school from monday on and there are only just urge caution. we have to appeal to the responsibility of the people at the festival so as not to risk more problems with the schools and the nursery at the common. the city meets on monday to discuss
7:12 am
further measures the mayor has warned of increased risk. will be ensuring that the rules are being followed i don't want to see pictures of people standing on benches and cheering without distance and without masks circulating for the world to see. people who support the event argue that celebrations can be properly controlled because all visitors have to register themselves even as the beer gardens are fill a late into the night people are celebrating in a civilised manner. here's a look at some of the other developments in the pandemic across the world a place of clashed with opponents of the coronavirus measures in the british capital london many of the protesters were carrying placards denying the pandemics existence new delhi cases registered in south korea have fallen below $100.00 for the 1st time in over a month the government is urging the public not to love with a god and football fans in italy have been given the green light to watch matches

european football landscape with big clubs can full into oblivion left to linger in the bottom divisions think of cause the sultan from german champions to the 3rd division all humble your pain champions in 1993 and now 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. i'm spot. at leeds united they've been pretty. true big fans have had to wait 16 years for a turn to the top spots in us forts they look after their own in the us the n.b.a. in 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 ideologies
7:18 am
leading the sports world today let's check it out. first on the list us sports share their revenues. the dallas cowboys are the most valuable 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. he can generate about the revenue. revenue because much of the. equally competing t.v. broadcast deals merchandise sales it's all thrown into one pot and shit evenly that's why a train like the green bay packers which only has a population of about 100000 people can compete on a similar financial standing as
7:19 am
a thing like the new york jets big a team's are effectively handing over cash to smaller markets in order to maintain an equal playing field often for their own detriment. in europe on the other hand clubs hold on to most of their catch. 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 real madrid and barcelona collectively receive about 20. 4 percent of the league's t.v. money a club at the bottom end 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 that means newcomers receive far less cash so despite both teams making it to the quarter finals barcelona received 32000000 euros more than atalanta. every.
7:20 am
level. of the elite in the microscope the level of revenue sharing seen in the u.s. looks like a mere fantasy for their cross atlantic neighbors. and european football sharing revenue evenly is to much to risk 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 player y. gers 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 1990 s.
7:21 am
and they want to super bowls. and while the m.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 other spending. later especially punished if they try to flex their financial muscle in any other section of american society that would be frowned upon to communism they'd scream meanwhile in european football they're following that kill or be killed capitalist mantra. in comparison to the us europe lets the marc. 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 $367000000.00 euros on neymar and back pay that could buy all that 70 private islands in the bahamas. 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 you ventus in italy by and in germany celtic in scotland and
7:22 am
do the most aggregate in croatia but periods of dominance have always existed according to steffan. only used a salary but the question is what level you. use a very high level which would satisfy the clubs then you wouldn't have any real effect because the smaller clubs are the. level if you said it's a very low level well that would be the quote great quote but this is in his heart as the gap in europe widens basically any team in the n.f.l. or n.b.a. can realistically win the title and the 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 draft system. the labor pool is highly regulated in the n.f.l. and n.b.a.
7:23 am
through their draft systems play is a distributed according to which franchise is in the greatest need. to each according to the needs of each according to our is not really what we. seem to be. the organizing principle of the legally at least as far as the hurly that each t.v. . it needs to be good. so the worst teams are awarded the highest picks and successful teams are punished with lower picks. it's robinhood f. 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.
7:24 am
instead of a draft system europe has a free for all. in european football there are absolutely no mechanisms in place to control the flow of labor pains complacently spend whatever they want and even financial fair 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 most of the champions league of course big club extremely. or to any equalization company. because the way they insulate themselves. is by the rich. may be a good deal much. more royal. let's
7:25 am
get real despite the socialist ideals within us sports the sum of its parts comes from marxist ideology the n.f.l. and n.b.a. other richest leagues in the world it's 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 1980s he sold up in 2014 for a healthy $2000000000.00. 2 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 for match day tickets in comparison european clubs a lucky break even the current of pandemic has laid bare how precariously close to
7:26 am
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 a twice in 2 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. it's not it's actually a consequence of the company says. 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 say you're a painful for introducing something like a salary cap the labor supply is simply too large whereas in american football
7:27 am
basketball it's largely restricted to just one continent. the premier league introduced the salary cap the domestic competition would improve their international standing would plummet as the best players chase higher wages elsewhere months 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 make money. not only can they get the counters needed made but they also get the benefit of. 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
7:28 am
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 a force in denmark the american dream doesn't even exist in us for the n.b.a. in the n.f.l. are closed shops and rich owners will even move into fire teams down the kilometers away from new cities if they think that will bring them bigger problems. think of the seattle supersonics. who moved to oklahoma city to become the sunda. for the oakland raiders who saw it was ripped apart when they prioritize glamour over heritage and moved to las vegas. but systems have been fierce and their negatives but one thing is certain if the us sports certainly on socialists 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
7:29 am
maximize their own profit. these are not the man decent georgians garbage everywhere. shaheen our least enough already the environmental activist and her fellow campaigners travel around the archipelago educating and advising the boy doesn't mean cleaning up they are piling it back the tide of trash. news on the d w. r i. the sound of the alps and now open your eyes. to. the palaces and stead of mount. welcome to what may be the most unusual event of the year. the high rise concert of the dresden symphony orchestra 0.

headmaster greets them he introduces himself as. people on the mall the prefer being on a 1st name basis. is here to help residents on the island learn to manage their waste the empty plastic activist receives a warm welcome and bouquets of plastic flowers. there's much to do. the 1st stop is the school. the maldives is an islamic country but girls and boys go to school together she begins her presentation it's a new topic for the children oh. nothing more. fearful of you all of you have in your way it. was to quantify what will that get close. though. if they do you have. to go eat eat

is what or is it oh so god of them all this to see them i know words of these. over the. last day goes of each i need to. do no good showing to the sea we have. so many things but these children call my no good it is starting now the soviets are going into the sea just so we see you. they . needed shaheen and teaches across the mall to use the organization partly believes that the way towards progress is through children and hard to reach villages. you don't only do it for the kids we do this for the kids and feel so really for the kids so when the kids do i think this is the excitement if they tell the parents there's a surfing and the green for the hills then does this pick up this thing is a plastic the fairly small because they don't exist get the kids set up the whole
7:35 am
game to see offenses everyone knows each other here. come on do is a small island he smile and the other residents learned what that really means in 2004 when it's tsunami hit. the 2nd it was bigger than the 1st. surely days to. somehow it's nice and say. how would. i live that's what you did. accept defeat your ideas sport so. how's. your individual person which is not effected by. 360 meters long in 240 meters wide people have been living here for hundreds of years. there are over 1000 residents on the island. without a wall come on do would have been swallowed by the ocean years ago it's just one
7:36 am
metre above sea level and the ocean is rising. c'mon do isn't for the men often spend weeks at sea fishing for tuna while the women typically work at home he smiled grew up here studied in india worked in mali and came back a few years ago. when the school days over he goes fishing with his 2 year old son we don't know how social from. our kids from the sea really friends families and neighbors and they have a good school to study right. not to want to. but want to. so we don't have any issues. but there are ecological issues notably the garbage problem. the islanders dump all
7:37 am
their trash into the sea and the waste train also ends up in the water a smile says this is the way it's always been done but he doesn't seem too comfortable with that. the dumped plastic doesn't simply disappear it stays intact and in the best case floats back to shore. the fish aren't biting today if you do catch one you can see what else happens with the plastic wrap use you don't have any fleece or any new that we can treat you so people throw plastic. so the sea from the. values of the fish is. eaten and we see them in. to what we see them into the fish is so it's very often see so it's a very big program for us not. like.
7:38 am
going to the next morning she and her team head off to a neighboring island. so the students will follow later. no one lives here. i know you. want to do a clean up. and explain to the children that when you throw it it just doesn't go away if the vocals have a calf or plastic bags it floats back or if it's eaten by an animal but then so that they can link to the foreground to do that i think and we take them smoking because we want them to understand what illegally i think is coming from from our different angle than telling them that we're losing so much of biodiversity is a big deal for making them understand.
7:39 am
it's a big day for the students. the island just just a few 100 metres away but few have been here before. there's plastic everywhere swept up by the time it's garbage from come on do but also from farther away. first we'll start with the clean up you know nor that there is no solution. no money and i'm going to. explain the different kinds of plastic and which ones are recyclable. yeah over the board of corn not. guarded. so every month quarter the word there anyone. in the indian ocean spits out all types of garbage plastic drinking cans and
7:40 am
polystyrene foam basically last forever. if it doesn't get washed away by the flood this garbage stays here. it doesn't take long before the students understand what harley is trying to explain. the have to pay overthrowing very much and go on a row 1st they came to this city or boy. is it that sometimes you have to tell your parents as well not through through anything something. just one hour the bags are full. only pet bottles are collected. good morning everybody each sack weighs about 40 kilos. harley organizes the competition among the schools to try to give the children a sense of achievement. yes but it
7:41 am
is a drop i mean so many adults can make a big ocean so. we hope that there are more groups like this happening everywhere so there's more drops dropping here. but what is challenge is that we can only recycle certain material and we are actually very set it saddens me to say that. only the material we can recycle but we can collect the other material as well but what is happening is that we see call it big and we send it to an island or that until it gets burnt almost. no money needed because it's safe from the ocean it's on the beaches it's not a nice site. hopefully we can clean up the beach of everything that is washed up. the bags are carried away by the mayor and the police come onto.
7:42 am
the little boat has to make 3 trips to transport what was gathered in just one hour it's a big job. on the one i'm going to put in after cleaning up a bit on land it's time for a swim. i don't think most of the girls have never used goggles or snorkels before and only a few of them can swim right now many are frightened of the sea. you. want it shaheen explains what the girls will see under the water coral but only a few have their typical vibrant colors left so everyone is that an animal is the yeah and that animal is what is built in this coral ever the corals i've gone with it has caught the. a dead goto those not have caught that.
7:43 am
shaheen and holy take those with the least experience by the hand. it's an entirely new world to many this is their 1st visit. i mean i think the bleaching has killed everything that is here all you see here is the border patrols that are life cycle of the branching coral several of the branching photos u.c.l. needles needle baby was. the underwater world surrounding the maldives is beautiful ffion compare. but the farther you swim out from shore the more apparent the problems here become. the corals are all white which means they're dead. this
7:44 am
isn't due to pollution but climate change. the complex weather pattern el nino has always brought warm water to the region but it's becoming more and more intense with larger masses of warmer water and the coral are dying off. back in the capital mollett. 200000 people live here more than a 3rd of the maldives population. is the most densely populated island in the world . everything needed on the other islands goes through these ports. the most important commodity is drinking water. hardly any ground water exists on
7:45 am
the islands so thousands of plastic bottles are brought in every day most end up in the sea. yellowfin tuna is delivered at the fish market it's a specialty in the maldives. fishmonger hussein follies between 3 and 500 every day . level to one of the over to this here is a good fish. often we'll find plastic inside the animals. but usually it's bottle caps lost through the roof but if it was a civil war. this is shiftiness office to parlay is when 2 conflicting parties open dialogue to resolve their differences the multi-verse is one of the 1st countries where parly has signed an agreement with
7:46 am
the ministry of environment shaheen a coordinates the collaboration. all of these dogs you see why is there we have a budget interceptor. on an island and all that really goes out evil in which it dies and all the factors that result that will get us. so already did almost $230.00 items total it is really good. $1500000.00 tourists come every year. almost 90 percent of the country's tax revenues are made in hotels. but even on the most exclusive beach it's each day begins with collecting plastic. operations manager only for roof up the combo hotel makes his rounds early in the morning to ensure the washed up refuse has been cleared. been. talking at the experts.
7:47 am
so he had to showcase mitchell a few feet you know it was those things not been used. so we try our best to be nice if he thought. much of it. in the center of the hotel island there is a new building. soon drinking water for the guests will be bottled here and glass bottles. the water comes from the hotel's own seawater desalination plant. this protects the environment and should also reduce costs. for now even speaks to being from from salt lake forest it is a big operation you know to move those into the top 50 needs in again. you know all
7:48 am
these dots to get it know you want to go now it's a big thing so for now i think you can use all these extra holes that you. like mostly on the list of. waste disposal is difficult and expensive. whent garbage is 1st stored at low temperatures so that it doesn't begin to stink this eats up a lot of electricity which on the mountie comes mainly from diesel generators most of the garbage gets sorted. in this hotel alone there are up to 2000 plus tick bottles a day. of the reason why the cell filled glass bottles haven't replaced plastic ones long ago is simple the hotel owners also own the mineral water trade on the maltese now the hotel has entered into a partnership with parlay to recycle one 3rd of its plastic waste. you see the move
7:49 am
the labels the move to pick. up make it more. like these full body for these people all these things in the jumble bakes that you c.b.s. and said you know what the public so some of the space you know you see full polly the shade in again because it will reduce the value of the city to be taking sandy at the top which she. parlay for the oceans collects the plastic bottles in a warehouse in mali the bottles collected by the students have come on to do and those from the hotel will be crushed here and then exported to faraway taiwan there they'll be shredded and recycled the process is laborious and expensive and it's paid for by donations from industry sponsors. so i decided to try to find solutions and i tried to find people to collaborate and. their nasty or trying to find
7:50 am
