we can deduce the characteristics of the 1st living organisms. studying environments like these folks in a crater scientists can easily imagine the types of environments which were favorable to the formation of life on earth. yet there's a lot of hot water vapor don't know if we can hear the water but we can't see it. on the other show we go to the lake look at down over there. 4000000000 years ago the chemistry of life may well have begun in small puddles swept by a backwash book would be put there as many hypotheses about the origins of life suggests that that there were tides leaving little lakes small ponds which let the organic molecules come together to maybe kick start life so maybe we needed both

land and sea but the key for the call to not use. you can always go to the big danger would have been too much water with just a little bit more water we'd have had deeper oceans maybe tens of thousands of meters deeper and we'd have had no land just one big ocean when it was no surface no interaction and no possibility of environments favorable to life itself we can wonder if the fact that earth had just the right amount of water to have 70 percent oceans continents and then interactions was what made life possible i mean that in . the palms of hydrothermal springs provide an ideal environment in which the chemistry of life can get started water heat and chemical elements rising from under the surface that teardrop you need to be primitive earth was definitely chemistry and level a dirty chemistry lab where you have a beer with. lots of components all mixed up with

a lot of changing of parameters and condition it's a metal book will take on the shop. for several hundreds of millions of years the molecules mixed together rearranging themselves in all possible combinations becoming ever more complex for this chemistry to finally produce life the chemical elements needed to be able to assemble in isolation from the outside environment. the cell membrane needed inventing. the c.e.o. within this one voice a bubble of greece and ireland things element on the plane that was the 1st individual and if it's split into 2 that was the 1st population as life to get it to most of. having only just come into existence the 1st life forms were still fragile they're only protection from the outside environment a thin membrane. yet they succeeded in developing their metabolism and specializing

life could now diversify trying out multiple forms. live you see if you have to fly has diversified and honestly but from a single common ancestor maybe early on there were several has a ton of bees of life but only one survive maybe i'm not a moment of it printed this year we know this because despite the incredible diversity of our living i think it animates lantz and the enormous variety and diversity of microorganisms that we all have characteristics that we share act i stick to some. one of us is you're saying biochemical base at the same d.n.a. as genetic material and we're all based on the same cloete imagine what fame. discus everything that's in bacteria fungus herbs. whales are plants as the same

stuff as us we're all related from bacteria to the most beautiful dresses debated and they're pretty off. all inhabitants of earth carry within the law traces of these shared ancient history for we're all constructed from a limited number of identical basic ingredients and yet 4000000000 years ago all the building blocks were available on primitive earth. just one identity only to do co-leader rides came from bodies which broke up the ends of years ago and it is near rights there were from 68 amino acids we only used 24 g.'s goes on. here i mean the 1st life forms chose these 20 amino acids for why those so it's probably just a question of chance. if the retiring mission you can very well imagine

a world in which living creatures are made up of 28 amino acids it will but not the same ones as us it wouldn't produce all the same lifeforms as hard they would be very different movie so how can you feel. scientists come up against a serious problem when trying to work out how life 1st came into being. 4000000000 years of plate tectonics have obliterated any trace of the 1st organisms. so they have to look elsewhere on a planet where conditions favorable to life did once exist and where traces of this distant past may still remain. said take any deflecting next there's no plate tectonics on the surface of mars or lee. to start very early their mouth which

means that at certain sides its entire history has been preserved going back a very long and highly after 4000000000 years for me out of the need. there was certainly time for life to occur on months before the planet lost its atmosphere and any record of these beginnings could very well have been preserved under the surface. mass a sheet you mars had to use very similar to earth which liquid water comets raining down organic matter and so on just like on earth that makes all the neat he said the man shows crucial. to man's i could not finish this but with the same ingredients in the space there might have been the same beginning as a democrat changers which on earth reduced life also maybe on mars they were the 1st this is dangerous to like making membranes i thought was structures like that district of the city plus.

definitely didn't leave studied the planet a lot and we realized that 3 and a half to 4000000000 years ago mars had the conditions that could have supported the beginning of life the his short delicious. that's fully of it we've found that the curiosity rover which has been on mars for 7 years now since the end is still investigating itself that a crater it touched down in which is 160 kilometers across again used to be a lake of fresh water filled with fresh water this water was present for hundreds of millions of years old so it's possible that my foot appeared in that crater levy a plant that it would also cut to. exploring the former lakes of months these scientists were hoping to on so one of the major questions of astronomy and biology is life a pretty ordinary fanaa. in the universe popping up wherever conditions of

favorable or is it really a 10 phenomenon that we have practically no hope of finding anywhere else but on the surface says this is the crucial question which the next missions to explore the red planet's buried surface will attempt to answer even though for the last 40 years the history of the search for life on mars has been one long series of disappointments almost every 2 years we hear we found evidence of life but we haven't on mars is one of. these disappointments began with mariner 4 in 1965 as the probe got close to mass it sent back the 1st photographs of the surface to the consternation of the scientific community. the photos showed a dry and desert like planet. then it was the viking missions the 1st time scientific probes actually touched down on martian soil you know since 1976 the

viking approach and looked on life with my logical experiments looking for life on the surface of mars the results are negative gets if. you're so exposed to the viking experiments we're actually looking for life on mars that would be the same as on earth because that's a total illusion and it didn't work it got nowhere but in either go it was a huge disappointment as the 1980s doomed not just the general public but scientists too were in through to the then dominant idea in both cinema and literature that life the bounded beyond our planet that they are that was the 1st big shock shaking the dominant paradigm of that time which said that there was life everywhere including on mars. the failure of the viking missions called for a total rethink of how we should tackle the question of extraterrestrial life bhaskar learned to convey here the people just. since mankind had been convinced

for several centuries that there was life all over the universe and the solar system false if people seriously thought that mars was the most likely to be favorable to life well you know it a 100 pre-sales issue took several setbacks in those experiments before people realized that this idea that there was life everywhere and run its course and yes it did it up a few no food is only recently that space missions have showed that we should have a different approach and our missions of the planet mars. i think up on that mass. the next exploratory missions to mars won't be looking for a life now but rather the trace of life in the past. this is the objective of the ambitious european exo mars mission with its most bottle of our tree. name and we know mars well enough now to let specifically for things that have been preserved

in the right context endzone as favorable to life. it's here ensuring that the gigantic 3 d. jigsaw puzzle of the european exo mars is being assembled it's a worthy challenge for the scientific community. from the control center ensure in carolyn friskiness will monitor the analyses of the martian soil carried out by the automatic lavar tree in the rover it's the 1st time a mission will be capable of analyzing samples from beneath the surface of mars. all 6 of us just surfaces bombarded by radiation which destroys the material they're looking for organic matter which would be the possible residue on. a life

or evil trail you can fall under the. monsters atmosphere became too feeble to filter the solar radiation that so palmful to life. on clothes off by drilling down to meters we can get a much better preserved environment is clear it is more likely that the man with humans we're looking for would be preserved piss out of us all the more nature could all the chefs. looking for life on mars is in effect here looking for our own national origin as well on earth that we don't know how it went from chemistry to biology it's the missing link exobiology that passage from chemistry to bio at yours you. still push on must cause as if on mars through these experiments we find organic matter we can say that we're attracting the 1st stages of how life immersed on

earth jeff in a very short good ideas of their. earth fortunately underwent a very different history from that of months our planet was able to hold on to its atmosphere and liquid water life continue to evolve inventing new forms. this white rock is testimony to an uphill battle to could 2500000000 years ago in the oceans the development which changed the entire history of life on earth up.

planet scale revolution brought about by microorganisms. we make less beautiful to lead this rock was the history of our the history of biology it's evolution it's the amazing ability to transform matter and energy and it's fantastic as were the children of this type of microorganism this is our parent and i hate this art. these aren't just any rocks that biologist put if you cast your own lopez garcia and her team are here to study. these kelk areas structures the result of what was a brand new process using solar radiation as a source of energy astra matter lights constructed by complex microbial communities in particular cyanobacteria. skin onto i'm surrounded by fossils from matter lives if this is

a piece of living history man and i'm just shocked you can see the colonies of green cyanide bacteria that is still typical color of chlorophyll of pigment essential for photosynthesis and i thought oh scientists. this great innovation by cyanobacteria with their ability to manufacture their own food sugars from the 3 most abundant elements on primitive earth water carbon dioxide and sunlight this process photosynthesis also produces a calc areas deposit which surrounds and protects the cyanobacteria allowing them to form colonies. milka. then a lovely piece is growing real and that they really really fast as. we have at least at least a 100 micrometers of growth per year maybe even $200.00 to $250.00 or so. down the past wonderful. well. so much on that that we were happy this morning

because we found a colonization system as we placed here 5 years ago yes now colonized by microbial communities which produce these minerals very quickly if you know off the top is about a millimeter over here told them which is huge spear if it did not move. 2.4000000000 years ago cyanobacteria benefited from an unexpected asset to help them colonize and dominate the earth's ecosystem photosynthesis produced a waste product oxygen which was poisonous to the 1st organisms on earth these oxygen released in great quantities into the atmosphere wreaked havoc on other primitive organisms leaving the field clear for the cyanobacteria. as oxygen was toxic for many other organisms and they impose themselves in certain

issues. on the 1st day of a learn to resist this toxic oxygen and then they colonized this new oxygen field in the. light in the sunlight to take everywhere from the oceans to lakes to allow all sorts of surfaces on my hands and tina. the cyanobacteria became the most abundant organisms on earth and their massive presence changed the planet. the atmosphere now contained oxygen and oxygen also provided life on earth with a new protective barrier. high up in the atmosphere ultraviolet radiation transformed also into ozone and gave earth a vital shield the ozone layer of. earth's surface was now protected from harmful ultraviolet radiation a new forms of life were free to evolve in the open air. where

you measured out there i called for through a member when you see a picture of earth such as from a space station atmosphere you see how incredibly thin the protective atmosphere is here remember this then film which was made by life itself over time and you realize to what extent all these particular areas were essential not just for earth would you support for the life to which it has already gone.

thanks to the cyanobacteria a fascinating self-perpetuating circle came into being. at 1st to help foster the evolution of life but then with oxygen it was life changing earth making earth increasingly welcoming to the evolution of life. our planet started to look different becoming a green planet a planet the color of chlorophyll. yokes you share now with oxygen his role in releasing energy and i'm a building the release on lots of energy through chemical reaction and it's more useful for animals and probably lead to the evolution of a multicellular organisms are already fairly rare for. us

multicellular organisms then lancia animals could now of all thanks to this new element essential to keeping these increasingly complex biological machines running . neat features requiring a great energy input like muscles a liver or a brain could melt form. in evolution shaped our planet and its diversity evolution and life on earth into socio bill. by us remembering i'm stunned by biological diversity as life is constantly evolving i'm producing not just the parrot but all these forms of animals and plants that i see here in this time every 4 i can have

a. vision of unconscious but i also realize how hard this world can be so you know it's beautiful but it's a world full of struggles between different types of organisms you don't and you know what and when i can see how darwin came up with his theory of natural selection so yes it having come to places like this you don't decide where you can see these selection mechanisms working all the time you can use more basic sean frazier of. our ecosystem is the culmination of a long dialogue between life and the environment a dialogue orchestrated by the rules of evolution. it was a cruel squeeze and useful play when individuals are almost identical in varied

circumstances and in the population of these individuals some will have a small particularity and this particularities may give them a competitive advantage for getting food or reproduce. exit and we deal with all but you sure it will reproduce faster and gradually supply of those that don't have the particularities the id it's the environment that has selected the individuals best adapted to the current circumstances. the environment itself was now modified by the biological activity of these individuals. evolution in fact is a constant back and forth between the environment and its inhabitants. in them then there's no purposeful direction what it's not a straight line making evolution progress from bacteria to human genomes it does go from bacteria to us but also from bacteria to bacteria whishaw city evolution is a sort of fan going in every possible direction. evolution explores what is

biologically possible i'm going to shit. on their toes and move what we're in constant movement as a group and this is what has created something absolutely unique that surely more than just. this is the rich dynamic that has been driving earth since its origins stimulated by the diversity of its environments and climates life is permanently inventing new solutions from one continent to another species evolved differently coming up with new strategies c.r. last year we read launched evolution since the origin of life would we get the same result and i probably not that they say history repeats itself but it doesn't really somethings are repeated here but history is always different it's the same what life would buy for if we threw the dice again it's unlikely we get the same animals and plants that we have to get in the front of our morning hand.

evolution on earth is a coming together to be adaptations of genetics and the environment an environment which is itself the result of a long succession and chance advance chance. multiply by chance. see it's all this chance which is made earth unique. the music was used and the ecosystems in which we find ourselves it's no desert sand or sea we won't find them anywhere else. the earth's ecosystem is the result of a random process the probability of evolution producing a similar result on another planet seems very weak and yet for the last 25 years astronomers have discovered countless planets in our galaxy they are now quite certain that around most stars there are planets the actual number of planets in the universe must be beyond our imagination. to to fall out of the

moment go on this is the argument brought up to challenge this change of paradigm and yet there are billions of galaxies all with billions of planets that's true but in billions of billions is an infinity of them yell that when us what they are yes and there are billions of people that were all different it's not about there being a billions of galaxies it's that in a probability terms billions of billions may not be a big enough number for us to find an identical case when you know you don't teach . your daughter like us or did who in any case if we do discover another life it'll be surprising and fundamentally different from life on earth. should not dumb i wouldn't expect to find a tree on another planet or an ecosystem identical to destroy on the sea if you know life has occurred on other planets based on a similar chemistry i'm not even sure there got animals implying it is any more than a prompt. look

for soul buckle don't imagine we can find our environment on another plan. that it's a complete illusion is could there be a plan and b b my answer is very harsh there is no planet b. and it's criminal to say there is you see there's only one space ship with earth's ecosystems and that's earth was just and there will be no other. in the opposite. her for around 4000000000 years earth has been home to life of increasing diversity constantly inventing new strategies to survive cataclysms or changes in the environment. life always seems to be on the front foot as though determined to survive in one form or another. and yet today it seems that this beautiful machine ecosystem could well be stalling as

a result of the depredations done to it by now own species. of hypocrisy to sydney and we are part of this same biodiversity this ecosystem that if we destroy them that's all part of this ecology in a deep way and will probably go extinct i see 5 we won't be the last and we'll go a long time before the bacteria were just a leaf at the end of a branch which is billions of years old the same as all the bacteria all the trees all the plants and all the microorganisms on the planet and for the game itself we're just one more part of his biodiversity nothing more than managed to. panic.

political shake up in lebanon. the man designated to become the country's next prime minister steps down amid political infighting. a michael glad to have you with us our top story at the moment the vacant seat on the u.s. supreme court and the intense political fight surrounding it u.s. media reports say president donald trump will nominate amy kone barrett to fill that seat she would replace ruth bader ginsburg who died last week barrett currently serves as a federal appeals court judge and is known for her conservative religious views trump told journalists on friday he had made up his mind but he refused to confirm the speculation ahead of an official announcement on saturday. for more i'm joined by irwin collier professor at board college in berlin and it's

really nice to have you with us. what do we know about amy conan barrett in essence what effect would she have on the supreme court to start probably with the most important she's 48 years old which means with good health she could be around for a long time and she clerked after law school with anthony scalia justice antonin scalia. who was a very conservative justice one of the originalist so. she's part of the school of jurisprudence in the united states that believes you have to 2nd guess what the founders and authors of the constitution would have said had they lived in 2020. so if if it puts a very conservative spin on what she does she's been an appeals judge since 1970 it was a very controversial hearing but strict completely on party lines she was approved

before that she was a professor of law at the university of notre dame and perhaps the most interesting for the politics she is firmly in the anti-abortion side of the debate and as a very conservative catholic catholicism dominates the supreme court she would be the 6th catholic justice of the supreme court right now that by itself doesn't tell you much because as everyone knows a religion like that goes from sotomayor all the way to judge barrett so the concern is the chief justice will no longer be the swing vote in coming elections and it's clearly part of the plan at that's clearly planning if she is in fact trumps nomination how likely is she to actually get that seat i mean the republicans certainly have the numbers barring unforeseen.

skeletons in her closet in which strikes me as unlikely given that she's already been through a pretty serious vetting. it's a done deal they knew that before trump even announced it which made it was also sort of peculiar they said we have proven we don't know who he's going to name which isn't a rather odd way of doing things so the republicans are going to stand behind this nomination. turning to another big factor in this election all together the coronavirus pandemic of course the united states has hit another new milestone let's get this right 7000000 cases now more than 200000 deaths how significant is this likely to be going into the election in november well as the old saw goes one person's death is a tragedy 200000 is a statistic. this has been weighing on the american body politic and the difference in the polls when you see it it's been

a steady difference between joe biden and donald trump to biden's favor that difference is built on a pandemic that has literally had no presidential leadership or a failed presidential leadership that won't change so a distraction from reality with another reality fighting about abortion rights gun rights libertarian interpretations of the u.s. constitution is an attempt to put a little bit of smoke when you're running out of mirrors you know like the smoke when you're running out of mirrors urban collyer from bard college for lynn really appreciate your insights glad to be here. so as we've just heard the pandemic is playing a major role in the election campaign in the united states here's a look at other developments in the growing a virus pandemic around the world a new study suggests fewer than 10 percent of people in the united states have

anybodies to the krona virus the results would mean the country is further from herd immunity than previously estimated neared mars biggest city young go on is back under strict lock down the city is one of the most affected by the corona virus in the country infection numbers in miramar expected to pass 10000 in the coming days thousands have gathered in london to protest lock downs and social distancing rules imposed to slow the spread of code 19 britain has europe's worst death toll from the pandemic nearly 42000 deaths are tied to the krona violence italy was one of the 1st countries to impose a krone virus lockdown back in march the international community looked on as the country's hospitals overflowed and struggled to cope with the spike in cases but now it's a different story as many european countries begin to suffer a 2nd wave of cases italy has managed to keep its numbers relatively low.

the images that can be forgotten in march italian military trucks carried dead bodies away to relieve an overloaded symmetry good morning to tell you were gripped by grief and fear as the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic heaved society. now little normality has returned to italian law bars and restaurants are open to manage street temperature checks serving as a reminder to stay vigilant. other european countries including france spain and the u.k. are staring down a 2nd wave of the virus but numbers here are staying relatively low. figures in italy have stabilized for several weeks we are averaging $1500.00 cases per day. head to the rest of europe. italy earlier so he was

very aware of the problem and immediately put in place a very severe and strong containment plan. experts say this is why italy hasn't had to impose it new restrictions being put in place in other parts of europe apart from the strictly police to lock down and the robust contact tracing italians have willingly adopted mask wearing. italian citizens have been very respectful of all the rules when i see on the news the images of the european cities i see many more people without marks they need to leave. but they don't have much of a choice because they risk being hit with a hefty 400 euro fine i just think that it will be a good last series i think they're placing for say nothing more and. it's not to say there won't be a rise in cases authorities say they are expecting one. but many here are hoping

that the current measures in place will make the 2nd wave. their tsunami. highlighting now some of the other stories making news around the world at this hour the death toll from the jihad is attack in north korea has risen to 30 insurgents linked to the islamic state ambushed a tomboy transporting the governor of borno state near the town of bug officials said the terrorists stole an armored personnel carrier a gun truck and 6 convoy vehicles. have been made at a planned women's protest in the capital minsk the opposition organize the demonstration ahead of the alternative inauguration next week for movement leaders for. rallies have been held nationwide against alexander lukashenko use long grip on power. senior officials and survivors have paid tribute to the victims of a deadly neo nazi attack on munich's october fest 40 years ago the bombing claimed

13 lives it was initially considered to be the act of a loner frustrated by society this year the incident was reclassified as the work of a former extreme. now the man designated to be the next prime minister of lebanon has resigned amid an impasse in efforts to form a new government. was parachuted into the position in the wake of last month's devastating blast in the capital beirut and of course the subsequent resignation of the government of. germany a plan political infighting over cabinet positions for his decision to step down lebanon has been gripped by months of protests. and a protracted economic crisis. let's cross straight to beirut where correspondent. is standing by basil it's good to see you another stalemate in the ongoing political impasse what more can you tell us. indeed the counter

known going i had. political. a few days ago the lebanese president said question of the journalist what would happen if the french he should be free he said we go straight to hell it seems that the country lebanon now is coming closer to the sort of political has special as you mentioned one talking about lebanon we're talking about the political financial economy collapse happened after the announcement of the step down could be putting it prime minister even eastbound . it's not like it the u.s. dollars now he is i don't doubt in more than $8000.00 given its pound for one u.s. dollars which means that the bodies found last i don't see 80 percent of its value so the situation it's very critical all the party after the announcement of the

step down all political parties said that they still hand. with the trash initiative but who's going to buy this now this is the main question so basil to say the lebanon is suffering is clearly an understatement french president emmanuel mccall who has visited the country twice since the blast had given a 2 week deadline to lebanon to form a government in order to receive much needed financial aid they clearly have not been able to meet this demand what's next for lebanon. this is the main question that i asked all my sources that i called after the announcement they said that they still as i mentioned that they still. have and with the tragedy shifted somewhat to some sources that the plan she should just stay in session is that they gave 1st 2 weeks and the 1st of september but then to get an extension cord out of the 2 weeks i'm told it's failed to achieve anything. in this regard

so the transfer may be the fact that it reflects president has another alternative another initiative which is the main question i was well no one has the answer it seems that the some believe that the only solution now is the scientists the government back to the cabinet to the south right that's right what the student cabinet usually me to go back to it again since it seems that it's so hard to form a new government regarding the it turns not to amounts to a conflict confrontation between political parties and the regional conflict maybe you were talking about the between the confrontation between iran and the u.s. besler reidy in beirut for us as always basil much appreciated thank you. the buddhist league as early saturday's games are done and dusted so let's take

our conspiracy theory in the bundesliga. that's something worth checking out so we got our best man on the case. welcome to a premature full morning in being a fellow of the blue sling as well as club. and then there before bob takes place which. will know it. and the sunlight. the view from the council tower is fantastic but not always as it seems in beautiful. in germany there are rumors that the city is hiding a dull secret so ridiculous it sounds like something from

a netflix series. i'm hunting for the truth. or so what is this conspiracy. well this is all going to sound a little crazy frankly it sounds stupid to me so let me try to explain this as simply as i can. since the mid ninety's a joke has been causing bielefeld a little bit of a headache basically someone came up with a satirical conspiracy theory that the city doesn't actually exist but i'm here in being a failed and it feels pretty real to me. that's a good chance you've never heard of bill felt before but that some standard will be the felt is an ordinary german city apart from an earthquake in the 1612 nothing

exciting has ever happened here except in 1971. economist or economic. quick history lesson $971.00 was probably the city's darkest hour it's club media was involved in a match fixing scandal during its 1st top flight season it made headlines. and suddenly good old boring bielefeld was in the brightest of spotlights devil can't. you seen soviet and then the land is damaged goods andy should look out for that as he puts and he needs to be the fed who says he does yes i'm a one off and so i see what's in his eyes and kind of us follow and us see him put scent dead. so minister who does this kind of believe that yvonne isn't just how do. you can't hear sorrow the scandal at least brought out of obscurity although some still deny the place exists at all what can you do

some crazy people around i can confirm it's real and that there is absolutely nothing weird going on and be the felt. nothing at all. which. how did i get here. maybe something strange is happening after all. our media midfielder said he looks as confused as i am. anyway what's he got to say about billfolds promotion. i think it's for every player dream to be on top of the best league in your country and so for me it's the same and foremost in the minutes it's been on and i think we have had enough time to realise it and now we all are happy to start the preceding

into to get ready for the winner's. let's hope they're ready they haven't always enjoyed their time in the top flight. this i do think being known as an elevated cup going up and down every other season but they actually haven't been in the bundesliga since 2009 and even spent time in the 3rd division but after a bomb storming we don't win they just played last year but they only lost 2 games back in the big time we can enjoy every match nobody is like ok today we have to win but we want to win because. we all sportsmen and we are not in the 1st division to enjoy every moment but go down after one season not season in the end it was like a pressure every match because you need to win because everyone is like ok you have to win you have to win and i want to see you fall down or to lose some points and this season it's completely different. they certainly won't be expected to win

every game in this league. season classic underdog always. seen these players up close you can really feel their excitement and energy. fresh grass on a football pitch the best smell in the world i love my job but now it's time to head home. it's been a bit bizarre but just one more trip up the tower to take in the sunset and then it's bye bye felt i wonder if i'll ever find myself back here again.

i. welcome to a beautiful morning in the felde home of the. media they've been there before but not way i've been here before. c something bizarre is definitely going on. at least there's still plenty to say about i mean. for one thing i didn't even mention the ground yet and a poet leon and no. club stadium is actually referred to.

but. indeed the club is important it's a source of local pride according to form a keeper dennis i. mean if it is one of the. one time from one of the. absolute. street interviews and find out in fire and on the defensive with you one was found for it's not really all dusty and even a bonus. what is going on i should be back how as lovely as the sunset sun this has to be my last

evening and be the felt. hello welcome to a wonderful morning in bielefeld home of the bonus to his newest club armenia i've been there before i've been here before but you know. it's been a while. ok i'm still here still wandering through this spooky dungeon for some reason. maybe this is all because of armenia the club has an almost supernatural ability of appearing in the bundesliga and disappearing again perhaps i've just been trapped in the media's paranormal activity. they currently share the record for most promotions to the from the sleeper but they really want to avoid becoming the lone record holder for most relegations that's

going to be an uphill task because they have the lowest budget in the division. but the return of families to stadiums could give them an edge i think they're crazy crazy and i will you miss the fans because the last month we always play without a doubt fans the emotions it's absolutely not the same if you have a good situation or a good moment on the page normally in the stadium you feel it you feel the feel the power of the fans and i never realized it before like this because now i never played without fans and now i'm like ok fans are much much more important. that i've got is not really. good foods in vivo as i was just 100 yards from the.

compact. she's right as much as i love getting to know i mean i really should leave this place but how. oh welcome to a beautiful morning in. what's the name of the city again. well if i'm stuck here let's talk about that name on media. the club's strange name has nothing to do with the country armenia but rather then named after the general germanic warrior who defeated the romans back in the year 9 and because

all german clubs are female i mean us army are. just. the name that claims such a proud heritage to the jokes about bill a filthy not existing and we people associated with the club. and i was one of those being if a doctor does something it's an entire or because the end of. god knows about. the so even when one here never knew one born 10 beautiful voice. i don't really understand why everyone is making this joke so. i think it's stupid cultural you want stupid losing my job and girlfriend because i can't escape this damn place regardless of my struggles i mean the appeal of is a club worth keeping an eye on good luck back in the bundesliga guys now mike is go home.

and despair. the explosion was a terrible symbol of back neglect.
