a defeat for legal leaders byron munich down a 21 against i'm shocked frankfurt as the bundesliga title race kicks out. i'm clay richards and welcome to the show 2 years in a penal colony that is the fate of waiting russian opposition leader alex cena vollmer after he lost his appeal against a jail sentence and a separate judgment he was found guilty of defamation and fined of all he says the charges are politically motivated and called the legal proceedings absurd his only relief was receiving a slightly reduced sentence. will be elected novell new took the judge's decision calmly he's frequently used humor during the trial to draw attention to the charges against him which he says are politically motivated. asked whether he understands

the sentence he sarcastically expressed his gratitude to the judge for taking 6 weeks off his 2 and a half year sentence due to time spent under house arrest the failed appeal came as no surprise to know what all these lawyers say what. today's verdict was expected for us we consider. nothing has changed all the arguments made in this court in the 1st instance they were rejected then they are rejected now. the court maintained to the kremlin critic violated parole conditions in an earlier criminal case he was recovering in germany after a poison attack in august and voluntarily returned to russia in january but he. is when he was discharged from the clinic in berlin in september. that alexina valmy didn't inform the penal informant inspectorate about his location and didn't register it for 2 months tonight number 2020. just

a few hours after the 1st verdict he was back on trial and received another guilty verdict this time he was convicted of defamation and handed a fine of nearly 10000 euros. novelli is alleged to have insulted a 94 year old war veteran. now nobody's lawyers fear that the kremlin critic will be transported to a prison camp in the west of the country as early as this weekend. to correspondent emily short when has been following the legal proceedings in the russian capital and she sent us this assessment what is interesting i think about these 2 court cases and the last few months with the protests with his. return as well is they really have meant that state media here in the country can no longer ignore me as a figure they've been presenting him including. with this trial over the decimation

of the veteran as unpatriotic as an agent of the west whereas before they essentially ignored him ignored opposition protests as well and i think now the opposition faces a really tough task and lay share when reporting for us there meanwhile the head of the international atomic energy agency has arrived in tehran to try to resume international inspections of nuclear facilities but iran has been blocking the visit comes as the new u.s. president joe biden is promising to reverse many of the trump administration's foreign policy decisions one of the most significant came in 2018 when trump with drew the u.s. from an international agreement with iran designed to prevent it from building a nuclear weapon now biden wants the u.s. and back in and the accord back on track let's take a closer look at the deal. with iran say they're willing to negotiate terms u.s. president biden told the munich security conference but communication should extend

beyond the yukiya agreement. we need transparency we must also address to stabilize the middle east we're going to work in close cooperation with our european and other partners as we proceed but iran has other ideas you rain and president hassan rouhani insists sanctions on iran must be lifted before talks can begin rouhani has described the measures as an act of terror against the iranian people. on the sanctions and we have to fight against the coronavirus because of the sanctions we've had many problems accessing vaccines and paying for them. for ordinary people in iran the nuclear agreement is the disaster on their mind. high prices combined with unemployment means the economic situation has been getting worse for years. nuclear energy is no use to us people are hungry and completely confused nuclear energy may help us in the future but the priority now is our

livelihood. iran's government spokesperson says the government is confident it will soon be able to solve the political problems with the united states. and let's get the latest from iraq has a historian focused on modern iran who joins us now from atlanta georgia russia what's at stake here remind us if you can what the iran nuclear deal did and why it was so shocking to the international community when the trump administration with a crew from its. thank you it's great to be with you that you are in nuclear deal basically meant that iran. shipped off all the enriched uranium that it made that it did at davis short international community that it did not have the capacity to move toward a nuclear weapon and in response the united states and the whole community has started lifting off the sanctions on iran as soon as child left in 2018. iran has ramped up its nuclear program it claims that it is beginning to deal remains

a party to the deal but it has wrapped up its nuclear program and now have riches uranium to 20 percent and analysts say that it might actually move toward a nuclear weapon unless it can be returned to the deal. or some sort of a reprimand. and returning it to the deal iran and the united states have signals that they are willing to negotiate but how do you get around who takes the 1st step toward reviving the agreement. so clear iraq and the united states not have a have basically a shared declared goal they both say that they want to return to d.l. and as you say the main question is who gets you know who does what 1st what they want in 5 minutes a job that he suggested a while back was that the united the european union could and i could choreograph this sort of who does what 1st and the iranian president rouhani also said basically if you don't want to step we'll take take one like that so that you could

you know could could play important role here it is also of course is the coordinator of the so-called e.t. plus treaty that is you know the 2 european countries plus russia china and the united states that are you know that a party to the deal so i think the key thing is on thursday united states basically said yes we will agree to a meeting called by the e.u. will show up if that if such a meeting is called and he who has said that it wants to. call such a meeting so long as to what is europe e.u. and the. makeup isms of the deal like the joint commission that includes the 6 countries that i mentioned plus iran. could be could be the body that 'd helps determine who does what 1st and you know iran can do something then the u.s. then iran and like this they can get back to the 2 they rounded up 2015 what happens after that is up to question of course but but they can get back to that point watch and even to getting to that point what other hurdles do stand in the

way of a return to the acquiring. well there are there are many hurdles i'll point to a few. one of it is that of course many in the last few years have to have a voice criticisms of the deal and of some of these features some of the clauses of the deal are already already set to expire actually and there are also other areas of concerns that i said had that they're not in the detail including iran's role in the region is supports that the regime in syria is support for groups that are positive terroristic in the region like hezbollah in lebanon and not to mention iran's ballistic missile like to do so you know one of the one of the questions that people have is in a whole can these. can these be measured and there are different thinkings inside the state department car entity you know all of those who say well 1st we get back to there on the island then will do a lot of things and those who say no maybe we should from the deal get it from the beginning get something out of iran the

a plus the other important hurdle is that next week iran is set to actually just talk the implementation of the so-called additional protocol of the day which will basically mean it will kick out some of the i.a.e.a. aabs evers' in iran which of course could. show of force could very quickly you know move things along toward a more. formal escalation and more confrontation so these are some of the very serious how does the time players very tight that's one of the key things here the time in iran and the other side is very tight and we've got to see how negotiations could possibly move things forward historian i rush as easy in atlanta thank you so much for that. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world a 5th straight night of protest to denounce the jailing of spanish rapper pablo has again turned into clashes with police a small group of rioters looted stores on barcelona's main shopping street

coming from i've got. out of this 6. i can tell you maybe 4 or 5 would make it what a more diverse. my name's there are no more than my kin and. i am a father of 2. and also a husband to a lovely wife and a philanthropist. i have a fondness from back home where i grew up where i tried to help the kids to get. what you want to give them hope. so what's it like to be one of the few african footballers who make it in europe john of them all is one of 2006 africans currently playing abroad the kenyan international left his home in 2007 but he hasn't forgotten where he came from. he has the

same age to give something back to the community as african superstars like didier drogba. summer eto. and side you know money who became role models for every young african footballer. it was never easy for johanna the place he grew up in still haunts him today. dan dora is an eastern suburb of nairobi it's known for being the biggest dump site in kenya. pretty difficult place i live pretty close to. walking distance. so i. understand sheets better. unfortunately. you know a lot of fun is new and less than

a dollar right and that means education so the only thing worse. because i stuck to football. has been living in europe since 2007. is 2 kids were born here in belgium and they called the country hope. just one example of how much has changed since he arrived in europe. more has turned up to 5 clubs in belgium. recently spent 4 years with the smaller of the 2 groups based 1st division clubs. as a kid and in my didn't i would be a place like this. now so you can come from the playing and just pick up. whatever you choose you know. going there you could not we played without shoes in

the beginning one way and no shoes with the boys you know. the boys the. boys told me. it was you know and it was just fun just to distract us from from everything that's going on around you it was more . and i skip. all the trashiest from all of the i don't know everyone. trash. we. just go next to me we used the plastic bags from the garbage to make. my friends you know stopping for trying to. sell them. into. our lives.

there's a saying in kenya nothing good comes from down dollar. what worries johanna is that kids like alice sundra are still facing the same problems a bit he faced as a youngster 20 years ago. my. life is hard in the gesso sometimes you go without food you get used to it sometimes you watch somebody get mugged they just want to feed their families therefore life here is very hard many have left football for crime we have buried a lot of them and life goes on ready. johanna's parents don't live in dan door anymore with his help they were able to

move to a wealthier safer part of nairobi. his parents were initially skeptical that football could provide a stable career when he was 13 his mother stopped him from going to norway for trials 2 years later he went and gave the money he earned to his mum. when he brought me the money i realized that even football can be beneficial. his father had retired but i was still cutting people's here for money. then. by this time johannah had already entered the football academy of a belgian agent in kenya and aged 17 he signed his 1st contract in europe. so we're never. we're never we. give me. that.

in 2017 johannah decided to do something for his community he set up his own foundation just 300 yards away from the dump site he established a soccer academy. asunder and teddy are in role there to kids who dream of following in johannes footsteps and becoming professional footballers. i would want to play in the english premier league league or all syria as long as i'm able to help the people back in the ghetto and get them out of the state they're in. and were told by the. palace sunderland 6 of the kids have a scholarship from the johanna foundation this is where they go to home s. kills. compared to europe there are not enough quality academies here for players

in the decisive age bracket between 12 and 16. our main objective is to never lope would soccer in kenya. and locally difficult have a very competitive league not only your success when you go to europe so these young kids what impact to them they can be brought here in kenya. andrew juma is an example of a former academy player who made it in the kenyan premier league he pushes the boys to focus on soccer and education as not all of them will become pro footballers. there's got to be made my mentality to see food more laws are. here when i was a kid. around a $1000.00 approximately $1000.00. and it doesn't follow now because i can't even pay my sister school fees and then it was a teach me my what my mama and i can't even buy it was when i was in the uk i

believe some people bought me boots so now i can do the same. it's a tough task to change the kids perspective and make them see the opportunities available in africa as most of them will always dream of making it in europe. my advice now and they specialise now because i have a lot a lot of kids who look up in the phone later. to build this talked about because if we do it there they are a big. big part of those kids who will make it and they're living you know and it's easier than here but the difficulty is that when they see you here they think you know what you are there and you waiting.

for african players it's really really important that they get some help in our integrated society. they were here they cannot confront you there especially in belgium. you get with something wrong something they don't and that's like they want to live in africa. they don't like something they'll tell you and then you. fortunately johannah got plenty of advice from older african players helping him get used to the european in tallahassee. he doubts what once. i gets towards him what's he allowed and it's a good thing to see. throughout his career john amato has never lost his love for the beautiful game. but he has had to make sacrifices to stay football in january 2021 he signed

a contract in turkey's top division. of the world for my new home. as a room is in eastern anatolia 4000 kilometers away from his family in brooch. and from a professional point of view moving was a good decision. in new york it's more maybe it's a tactic or you know. it's basis on all these. it's more physical more more more direct with work and i think that's. if there's a room stays in the top flight johannah will stay in turkey and his family will join him in the summer. a new chapter of his life as an african football in europe . but the time to return home drills closer.

like other footballers worldwide who donate at least one percent of that johannah joined the common goal initiative to change things for the better however i want to me it is never i don't want to be having a fun addition to i want to grow up you know was that all these things are being are being kept for like you offer from work labs you know having a. good structure for the kids. i want to live life with my farm and just leave like more people. but now it's. inbred my heart that i don't need corsets. that means that the that we have means to have a lot more to go. check
