reach a man trapped alone 630 meters underground the others one of whom died were found at 540 meters. 10 more people remain unaccounted for life detectors are being sent down to locate them managers at the mine have been detained for failing to report the blast for more than 24 hours it's a dangerous line of work in china nearly $600.00 mining related deaths were reported last year alone. correspondent robin chrisma joins me from beijing now with more fabien what do we know about the condition of the miners who have been rescued. by the 1st miner who was rescued he is in a very weak condition and i'm quoting the officials here he said there was no communication with him no extra food so actually it's a miracle that he survived and among the other 10 rescue workers they were in the
2:04 pm
group and 9 of them us supposed to be in a relatively stable and good health condition because they were also sent additional even requested on their last day i don't ground sausage meat so actually do i really i'm a careful because a rescue team established a communication with them but one of those 10 miners he is supposed to suffer in injury but i don't know how severe this injuries. being we understand there are still 10 manas who are unaccounted for do we know what hope there is for these miners who are still on the ground. well there's hope but a little hope they are believed to be in the so-called 6 central section of the mine but the rescue team does not it's not sure if they are really there and they are also not sure until what time they can reach this section of the mine so i mean time is running out they are trapped there since the 10s of general and yes i would say the chances of survival are getting. and i mean one of the chinese authorities
2:05 pm
saying moving on from the rescue operation what are the chinese authorities saying about the cause of the accident and indeed the response to it from the mining company. well i mean they're criticizing the mining company because they have not reported the incident for almost 30 hours it's a big scandal but that's actually happening quite often because usually those companies they will try to solve those things by their own and the big problem is that we don't really know how this happened because our reporting here is quite controlled by the state they usually hand out orders on how to report it and whether to report it and this explosion the reason why. this whole tragedy happened is unexplained for so we don't really know why i think in beijing thank you so much . overt as in portugal are voting to elect a new president today despite a deepening coronavirus crisis in the country election organizers have increased
2:06 pm
the number of polling stations and allowed for early voting to avoid the crowding at the ballot box portugal is battling the worst coronavirus in fiction right in the world the 7 day incidents rate is $785.00 that's more than double that of the u.k. and the u.s. and 7 times that of germany's correspondent philip schultz joins us now from lisbon young philip why are the numbers so high now in portugal what went wrong. it's apparently mainly due to a new variant of the corona virus coming from the united kingdom at least in the beginning portuguese government was quite slow in reacting to the new challenge even though we know by now that it's more contagious and probably even more deadly than older forms of the virus so this is the main reason why.
2:07 pm
infection numbers so high you're at the moment. given what we know that it's more deadly and more infectious and the infection right is running out of control given that situation why have the authorities detained in person voting necessary rather than miley. that's a question that a lot of portuguese spend so at the moment i'll start by showing that 2 parts of all portuguese would have preferred a different form of election or a postponement of the elections about to be fair there was a chance of early voting and voting and they were really volunteers going from door to door to make sure that the most vulnerable groups can cast a ballot but this applies to probably only 200250000 portuguese and now a lot of legal experts that stress that the constitution doesn't really allow how
2:08 pm
big are changes or even a postponement of the procedure of the election so the government was in a very difficult situation here what is the government been doing to get this situation under control. well concerning the elections there are a lot of extra measures in place of course the usual measure of social distancing everybody has. a pen and doesn't share the pain with anybody else and of course a lot of sanitize us everywhere regarding the situation in the old country. it's basically strict and strict lockdown measures by the day it started in the general area with a lockdown. at 1st scoots remained open and this was actually criticized by the government changed its mind and also closed the schools at the very last minute on friday so we are really more or less in a complete lockdown here in portugal at the moment except of course for the

but listen 1st of all the oscar football we call it the me call it soccer get used to it. so we call it the book. we are a football channel for soccer channel while we are quite an international bunch more english. when tom calls it. a day on the u.s.s. stark a scottish colleague mark calls it. an dania tells us what it's called at her home and canada. but a lot of our viewers tell us we shouldn't be so careless with our choice of what most comments on our channel suggest we should call it football and nothing else the term soccer makes them flinch and that's one of the lots of fans of comments others say soccer is totally acceptable there is a war work going on in our comments. and not only.
2:18 pm
what you see here as manchester city striker sergio agüero reaction to former football after. using the word soccer we did it in soccer sometimes i don't think it's useful but. people hate the word soccer type the phrase it's football not soccer into google search and you can't deny it these 2 words cost battles. and they are the most controversial words on social media. and i remember it being used as a word regularly when i was growing up in england period but then since the 1980s really it's become a word that in england if you describe the game ball and call it soccer. people who get very angry at you and not just a little bit angry very very angry they will shout at you and they will scream and
2:19 pm
they will say don't use that american word it's not soccer and if you go on to the whip and type it's what will not talk or you'll see this. outpouring of anger from mostly from brits but not just from great you'll see you'll see french or german or you know south african people also saying during you know it's fuck's sake stop saying soccer stefan szymanski beinecke have written a book about it but it's also as a linguistic phenomenon this is going to leave unique there is never been a word that we can find that has been exiled from the language there are words that go out of use that is never been a case of a word which has been used for a long time and then dropped because somebody else uses it. on the words can be found on merchandise products fashion items and even in our office
2:20 pm
is the disrespect that you receive as soon as you say the word soccer you instantly don't know anything about it you shouldn't be speaking about it you are crazy you have no idea what's going on what you see even though you've played select such a long time yet. think of like any example where it's got me into trouble for and for ever. i have cousins from florida talk about soccer and i just i just remember thinking like oh you can be related to me this is horrible they didn't think. that when i was growing up. the anger here is among most exclusively addressed at americans listen to english comedian john cleese. why do you merican insist on calling it's soccer why do they have such a problem calling it football. the messages. the most popular game on earth is called football soccer which is wrong. to correct turns off football and to
2:21 pm
soccer. it's a bit like also 2 words that describe the same thing so why all this anger and frustration caused by these horrible. it's like it's jumper it's well well. it's football. rights are in jail but there are many versions of football rugby gay lake australian rules football and football also known to the rest of the world as. what. are you talking about american football so the u.s. and others like canada south africa japan and all these other parts of the grow market green on this map structure the term soccer so even for those who hate to say soccer all football there are good reasons to use both terms firstly to let
2:22 pm
someone know what sports you're talking about like in maryland when i was talking to me and they said they play football i'd probably ask if you know soccer or clearly depending on the context i mean i would if i was just talking about generally. i mean i would but if i was talking about sport and differentiate and then i would use the word soccer and i would want to punch myself in the face which i used to. what's even funnier see the flag let's change it into the nation's flag whether. as best we know the. university of british school boys love that game but their competitive desires required regulations $863.00 routes were defined and the football association was formed but there was still up. versions of the game that's why our new rule book was written one that allowed the pants it's known as rugby football this
2:23 pm
distinction between a rock b. football and association football marks the origin off soccer like rocco is a shorter version of rugby football soccer became a snappy a version of association football this can be a rat in a tiny letter from 1000 or 5 published in the new york times as a matter of fact it was a fact that oxford and cambridge to use are at the end of many words and as association did not take an art easily it was and is sometimes spoken off as stock . and not a surprising fact can be found by reading papers from the states. so as best we know the words it was at oxford university in the 890 s. and we know. american and australian newspaper sources people in australia and the states will say don't call it soccer that's an oxford word
2:24 pm
the proper name is. used. get me a map. it was the soccer version the one played with the feet that soon spread from england to everywhere. everywhere except. the united states here the other sports the one with the hands rock exploded everyone left that's game that developed into the most popular sport in the us and something very british. america to be sure is deliberately kept short so that the sponsors. getting as many commercials as possible thank you the world couldn't accept that the world's great super nation didn't love the world's game and on top of that changed it's making.
2:25 pm
the past time for people to point out how wrong americans are the aim of these graphics is to convince americans if you don't like i was at least name it right as if they cared. so it's completely absurd to tell americans not to use a word that you yourself have used in the past and which you would big anyway so that's absurd as well but also it's. the asymmetry in this in the intensity of this debate because we're british people and europeans this could be the source of it. we're americans it's a shrug of the shoulder they don't care it's even worse now that the usa has become a global force in football the fan community is growing the man take part in what cops and the women even when they're. the fact that north americans are like
2:26 pm
encroaching on territory that is considered european and that's kind of like but it's our sport you can't call it you want to come in and you want to call it soccer and you want to be good at it too we were at that good our football for a long time and now it's time to change his lot of americans in the board as they get it's kind of like what happens if we lose against them. like yeah i think you think it's not just the word i suppose but with definitely i think. we have a chip on our shoulders of. cultural imperialism. from coming from the states which is ironic because we consume so much culture specifically i think this idea that they're not quite good and that these people are quite good looking for though they thought we were there is the right word you're you. so today the american way of life has become so dominant that for some you repeat the argument about football or soccer is now the
2:27 pm
last remaining battlefields to defend their culture. this is a form. of cultural jealousy and anti americanism to say you you know i'm not allowed to use this word you must use the word that everybody almost everybody else uses and of course what's strange is that because this is the one i suspect of global culture which the americans have not dominated if you think about music movies. all my most forms of culture have been globalization being dominated by americans and american businesses and soccer football is really. global activity which is not predominantly american. so what's the solution. and. all that and there are maybe put out widespread information that the word of english. the word came from england what does the
2:28 pm
economic think there's a need by the solution we just need to learn to the lot of them that we can put the spotlight on another question why do americans call this a fever pitch isn't it. please you know. personal drama competition wife marketing numbers at least here power fight at sac intuition love hate money cash millionaire fans friends fans fans and fans all over.
