slave accusing lose pace in the title race. when leverkusen sloss was leipzig gang they travelled to stuttgart knowing that a win would put them top at least until biron play on sunday a single goal from leipzig daniel omo in the 67th minute was the difference between the sides a side footed in after the new nino's cross was deflected the result keeps leipzig firmly in the race for the title as they go for their 1st ever in this league at challenge. europe that i thought this is news life from britain ceasing to take here. is a master of the art of confrontation this is growth a measure of a verbal comeback doesn't mean you're going to see very odd why the undisputed champion of political talk be trying to frighten people so far everybody understands if you enter the conflict zone and join tim sebastian as he holds the

powerful to account this is a picture for your whichever way you like to spin the conflict zone. on t.w. . literature invites us to see people in particular that i like to see myself as the kids find strength growing up. right up to. the degree books on you to.

governments know that investing money in sports can make them look good it's what's known as sports washing. sports washing which is the attempt by a government. to project a more positive image job that is actually really an alternative. as well this is nothing new. you're looking at government so. i was. the woman takes a look at. you know political purpose it's a way for oppressive governments to rebranding self's is one of the best examples. not only. bankrolling its record transfers. and even the rights to host the world cup tournaments. but it's

a different story behind the scenes the country has been accused of multiple human rights violations serious problem the other gulf states the violation of. the treatment of migrant workers in the gulf. is. some people talk about it being a form of modern day slavery and this has become far more visible because of that successful with the horse 2022 where. they brought in hundreds of thousands millions of migrant workers to make up. essentially we're all in the entire infrastructure building a lot of new stadiums. and that the question of the guest workers is definitely a complex question there is no question about our commitment when it comes to that rights there has been over the years plenty of question about your cool and fair enough i mean those were basically based on some media campaigns except that i must tell the truth in a very nice and your lousy conditions you know all these my ideas because i totally

acknowledge that and we acknowledge that as a matter of fact the most recent amnesty international report we have welcomed that human rights watch are welcome to doha on a regular basis and we receive that criticism very well despite pressure from the international community qatar's atrocious human rights record continues but its financial muscle has cost many countries to look the other way though even if you want to ignore all these problems let's say you're just a football fan and you only care about football well they're also destroying the sport as we know it to stick to for. the 1st major involvement in football was back in 2011 when they bought. and started pumping millions to bring telling to the french capital. most notably orchestrating the 2 most expensive transfers in world football to date. these massive expenditures have translated to domination of french football. the club have been crowned champion 7 times in the past 8

years. the french league well some say it's a joke. this is. the day. they were both vocal about. something big is huge exposure. and these ridiculous sums of money have turned the transfer market on its meaning. fewer clubs will be able to keep up and competes. also hold winter training camps in qatar but rather than benefit from warm weather training the trip more to showcase the country. don't forget main goal isn't having the walls best football it's cleaning up there and. so the country has also invested in other teams take f.c. barcelona they probably boast that having a 111 year tradition of not having a paid shirt sponsored. but that all changed in 2011 once qatar offered the club

150000000 euros to display the name of the middle eastern country for 5 seasons. is it really worth all that money in qatar there's no doubt. there is so much loyalty in football that once we get associated with a football club it will boost our passenger appeal and at the same time it will give us the. footprint. to expand our footprint into other parts of the world where we are preparing to pull qatar have gone on to sponsor the shirts of italians that roma and belgian clubs. but perhaps the country's most important shirt sponsorship deal at the moment is with german giants in munich. qatar airways the state on airline paid byron's 10000000 years a year and in return the club fly to doha for mid season training caps they've been doing so since 2011. some by and supporters have

a big problem with that they're against their club link with qatar due to the country's human rights record. during matches fans have held banners protesting the club's dealings with the country and that's happened on multiple locations album express. discontent you know they've become actively involved with music. they've spoken to. the club directly on these issues with ready. for the club's higher ups it's business as usual going as far as defending their position. by omission. from qatar which. obviously. because. the turkish countries are lesser because of the country for international. doesn't feel

a dignified and. true. where's the reality is that. people every. day there are. more helpful if they would have a. more realistic assessment of the problem or indeed if they would actually call for that would help. and we don't even need to travel far from qatar to find the next case of sports washing their neighbors in the middle east abu dhabi in the united arab emirates was even a step ahead as the premier league side matches for city back in 2008. into the world's richest football club the emirates has spent more than 1000000000 pounds in transfers since buying the club. then vestment has been controversial

even until today regarding. but the cash has delivered positive results on the pitch man city have won 4 premier league title since just like atar. interested in financial profit or after something else. has virtually serial democracy and has repressive freedom of speech laws 90 percent of the population are migrants and the vast majority of them are paid the bare minimum and live in poor conditions match their city success. a chance to offer an alternative story about the country to the rest of the world. the country paints itself as a top holiday destination. that's also quite easy to do when you know football stars from all over europe vacation day. to day investment in man city has turned into something bigger city football group which owns different clubs across the globe. city football group gives abu dhabi a platform to consolidate and strengthen their political influence we have an

ambition as well as a football group tool to have an organization that that is global and that will have multiple clubs part of it so i would say when the opportunity arises and we are looking at opportunities you can expect us also to add to the number of clubs we have already with them within their organization all of their clubs were similar colors have similar badges they even have the same sponsor as you had airways and that's just one of the 2 of the u.a.e. state owned airlines they're both making big moves in football. emirates is going after the european elites the reality that the world's most famous and most successful club. what's on their shirt. emirates. the dubai paste airline has a myriad of sponsorships and football besides being a real madrid's main sponsor emirates has deals with clubs such as ac milan 10 feet

and arsenal emirates have the longest running sponsorship deal in the premier league as they have sponsored arsenal since 2006 the club's homegrown even bears the airlines name the emirates stadium and that won't change anytime soon the stadiums naming rights will last until 2028 you may imagine our cars would be one of the groups of supporters from a protest against the involvement of emirates so it's not like the government of dubai or partly relates to the part that the bodies and. international reputation has been normalised. over many years. long before the tariff sports washing was coined when it comes to sports washing russia are leading the way and they do it through the gas company. on paper as a private company but since 2005 the russian government has own more than half of the company's shares in this league outside shot at have a longstanding deal with the russian company the sponsorship was 1st established in 2007 in

a deal worth 150000000 euro it's. also owns russian collapse and it's in petersburg the old conglomerate bought the club in 2005 making the club a major force in russian football. investment mensah needs could make a significant move in the transfer market bringing in players like now the marquee c.e.o. axel hall and most recently i think it is we want to go but we are being more. control. i'm used for political ends i think when existential issues come end claim by which i mean are they going to ruin clubs and are they going to rid the game or generally. uses the club and its players for multiple p.r. stunts such as having them play football on an offshore drilling rig these images help glorify the expeditions and downplay the environmental impact cost by all extraction as well as owning and pumping money into clubs is also

a major player in the champions league the partnership with you a few began in 2012 and it was extended until 2021. russia knows how to play the game 2018 world cup powered by none other than guys from what's russia's crown jewel. what you saw in the run up to 2018 was also a lot of coverage of what was happening in russia a lot of coverage of the rights abuses 1st of not a lot of engagement and. then what the ca trees will of the. as soon as the whistle blew. through and became captivated by the football. because even though there. may be a loop hole to success we're sort of meant. to cement their reputation and their will they'll get a reputation and history would suggest they will so what do you think is sports
