matchday 24 had plenty of do or die encounters because the relegation battle the european spots and of course the title race but still why i don't. buy any of this is don't mind the biggest game that win this league asked alpha even if brian were the only ones playing for the title this time around. good job and it was more about saving face. still the world wide spectacle had fans across the globe watching from the edge of the seats in sports sponsors even if not in germany itself as the country's pubs is still shut down to the pandemic. and sadly it's now been an entire year without fans in gemini's stadiums 2. with only must wins a hand be the 3rd were hoping a new coach could save them from the drop saying goes for shall come with that 5th coach of the season finally beat the charm gap that still have that. hejduk marco

jose could really use a win against direct rivals leave the case and found a painful winless runs both teams were determined to get back in the run figure. that let's begin with the title race not with him but with these guys like say had the chance to go top in freiburg. who. like to thirsty for their maiden title they're the only team in the lake who is still challenging for the crown prize argue your novels man's men knew they could conquer the summit with a win and once again proved they do have the stuff of champions so how did they go about it. as per usual they applied the pressure kevin campbell falls back to santa maria into a costly mistake the gifted lights of the league just before the break christopher and taking the honors with his 6 goal of the season the frenchman knows plenty

about winning titles himself and playing 10 with p.s.g. by the age of 21 having players like an cuckoo among their ranks is a luxury small teams like freiburg simply can't afford. to. put one goal was not enough to satisfy novice man and when things got sluggish in the 2nd half like 6 tactician of the right idea he made a double change around the one hour mark to add more offensive power in a demonstration of their depth and just a minute later at leipzig there late. this time and provided as he sets up alexander's along. but again it was campbell who got the ball rolling allowing it to sneak past 2 defenders before serving up. the norwegian on target with his 3rd goal to seize it. in the 72nd minute substitute

white he chan had the chance to make it 3 nil after him toying around freiberg defense it was keeper florian miller who finally out. but it didn't take long before catalyst campo was at it again he found him slotted back to force and the story didn't miss a goal number 5 for one of many attacking options that are keeping like sick in the title race field but also their selfless teamwork speaks volumes to light 6 quality . not to mention the spiritual. dimension of this the team did great from the start then to turn it up a notch again in the 2nd half that's impressive we've shown that the past few weeks it's like this team plays with a lot of heart and passion i had to learn shoved in the zone. and

uncharacteristically late giveaway gave freiburg a rescuer an opportunity just before the whistle it's no easy task to penetrate like 6 go for the best defense in the league they've conceded only 20 times this season in comparison to violence 34. we keep fighting until the 93rd minute and that's why we keep on winning because. we don't we don't we we don't want to give one millimeter to the other team no millimeters were given in freiburg. their 3rd straight 3 no win on the road to a particularly sweet with the girls as they boarded their bus at least. to the top of the table. like 6 bull magnets christopher unconquered who has more than one slick made. the

weekend after allison had the wit and composure to selflessly swear him out the frenchman struck him like 6 passed its council church. and he clearly learned from thousands example when he skipped the chance to set up like 6 seconds. of leeway to pass for. once again it's unselfish play justice for the 1st goal. but perhaps in confuse best moveable was helping his friend films help. that surely put added pressure on the title competitors but before the weekend's helped match. no further it is. inside the buying universe declassify is always a game of utmost importance saturday night's edition would once again be about the

title except this time it wasn't dortmund vying with byan for the championship but light sic taken top spot earlier in the day the biggest hurdle to the home side's hopes was no doubt adding hala one of the world's hottest striking talents would be measuring up against well player of the year robert love of dusky. and was also up against the world's best keep. the young norwegian got off to a hot start with ryan dithering at the back the ball fell for holland last ever sees the chunks unleash his 1st speculative shot at manuel neuer. by kind of one no dortmund in the 2nd minutes of play and in case you didn't hear or see it holland's perfect start was assisted by jerome boyd say with the same it would later spell the end of alan's day. advantage dortmund who were more than up for the. fight in the early exchanges as leavened dusky found out the hard

way. next nico shorts and talking as are teamed up to tee up pun. delight for dortmund and leipsic fans as holland's finishing was proving a danger to buy and hopes of regaining the title lead just as his celebrating was proving a danger to teammates by and were under pressure and looking for a hero of their own to start the fight back. 26 minutes in yours were kimmage found leroy sunday in a bit of space which he made the most of to find guess who leavened of skinny. and could have no complaints form a bye and man much homo's was left ball watching as a former dortmund man did what he does best. eager for an equaliser 11 dusky certainly got stuck in the. last of the dortmund defense in their efforts to stop kingsley come on. but when mahmoud also left the frenchman grounded the referee was

prompted by a v.a.r. to take another look at a possible penalty decision. after an in or special start things were heading in the right direction once robert leaven dusky said mabyn hits in the wrong direction. so going into halftime it was all square. we know that the maybe the 1st 1520 minutes we didn't play but after 2nd goal that's how you can say that you're not ok now we have to push forward you have to try to score the 1st goal and the 2nd half we had this game under control and we know it ok come on boys we have to try to score there another god because we want to get to 3 points it looked for the briefest of moments as if hits would lend a shaky hand to their hopes of winning by spilling a shot from the boots of yours you a kidney. but that big turning point from a dormant perspective came with the return of jerome boa tang's boots causing holland to. taken off 6 and forcing him to watch from the sidelines while nursing

a bloody ankle. boateng would soon be cursing karma as he likewise made a premature exit this time doing the damage to himself. but there was to be further agony for his opponents when dormant failed to clear in the 88th minute gorecki fired home. with the visitors still pondering that swiss to fight who else would show up to twist the knife. but robert leventhal skate. another hat trick for the striker to bring his tally to $31.00 and another 3 points for bias after spending just a few hours in 2nd place they made a happy returns of the top of the table reclaiming top spot from like say once again they reminded dortmund that by the undisputed kings of their classic out.

seeing as the fans are being kept a long way from the action we decided to go a really long way from the action to see how don't win fans in mexico city were enjoying the classic. me $0.02 in midfield. and then to new york city where the mood improved among buy and fans and the beers tasted sweeter once lay on the ritz put them in front of me start. by. the pandemic has changed many things but not the fans faces off to the final whistle of jackasses. who are soon to be left to wonder at the end of a not disappointing. in munich so by. trying to.

thank. me for traveling to help in hindsight place most good with the league's best side since the season resells and hadn't conceded any goals in their last 7 matches . but the run was to become a thing of the past just 8 minutes into the game to stop baumgartner rattling in the air. but soon enough votes bird's top striker was on his way to restoring power it say about the coast with his 15th of the season in the 21st minutes cool bounce back from voice was. just before the break though hoffenheim restored and late courtesy of that number one hit man andrei cram rich tucked away his protein of the campaign and this time there will be no comeback for the wolves . whose new york defeats never feel good but nobody believes we were going to

remain on the on until the end of the season look i mean it can happen because we don't form on what should not be happening in this outrageous foul by paolo ottavio on moon asked the boy in injury time a 2 legged lunch that was the most red card worthy assault in a long time. the eagles flying high in 4th and undefeated at home and played host to one of the league's top white sides stuttgart. the visitors had a man in their ranks looking to extend his own series and midway through the 2nd half sasha collide it made it 7 goals in 6 outings needed. less than 2 minutes lighter frankfurt one level below cost each given too much space to firing. and the finally taken strike would be the last goal of the. sest with no winner. 9. games without

a win left tackle ballin in serious relegation trouble and they slumped further into the mire right up to the starting whistle when alex books allows low banish found their next. it was a shot had to struggle to recover from but eventually just past the hour mark krzysztof ian tech rose to the occasion to get his side back into the game. and with the clock ticking down 14 smiled on chatter as new catto salas trip in the outspoken bucs. dirty looking back and focused on the job at hand to combat the spot kick and claim all straight. big relief in berlin as hatcher showed they kept winning at. cologne were also looking to get some breathing space down to the bottom and desperately needed a win against brain. but it proved to be a nerve racking game to the hosts. that went ahead in the 66th minute just sergeant left on mark to head in his 4th of the campaign.

the young american is becoming an increasingly pivotal figure for his team i don't want to pursue higher expressions on them but they're in there in the future is for me for 15 go straight for. a long stalwart your house heck tell refused to accept the looming defeat and it was he who pounced on a howler by usually powered lanka to grab the fortunately from oslo. 11 it ended up lanka frustrated but at the end of the day his team could at least live with the one point better than the harsh. welcome frank comma previously red bulls that's good use academy director and he's been brought in by defense to keep them in the bundesliga. the worrying sound with

a nasty clash of heads between union riots and his own people and they as newtown. patched up and able to play on. a museum day it wasn't exactly the end stop it was more than equal to this effort by say oh quarter of a. comma i looked even up on the touchline which is team a more on the back foot 2nd half progressed. ok to end o. had 2 golden opportunities to get a win but it was to be. no the end of the end of the how you shouldn't to upset was a great feeling and a. really. functioning and great team. players good characters and real. like we already did in training will do to improve. now from to.

have a new man at the house. sees gave it his all to get his team in the right frame of mind as they face the relegation 6 points a showdown at the hands and minds. go drown most stuff he's had 18 minutes in was. stopped by in the right place at the right time. second from last month's with a pesticide but couldn't find the clinical finish. with chances few and far between stewart's have the chance to secure what would be potentially just a 2nd wind of the season but said it was months inside yet again. he's continued to fire on his men but they simply couldn't ignite. some point and that's perfectly ok by me we said we'd have to make do with one point normally. if

you're unable to win a game then you should at least avoid losing it and that's what we did today i'm going to get a. new coach but same old story shocker don't look like leaping out of the drop zone anytime soon. but now to the other end of the table and the fight for the champions league spots with competition hotting up these next 2 teams well also in real neat the way. the the. back and by end leverkusen it's hard to say which team has had it worse in recent weeks when this in 5 league matches confidence levels will. live accusing where in the same boat with only 2 wins from their last 11 and with european qualification at stake both live accusing coach peter bosh and got past michael walzer hoping to see an end to their team's downward spiral. because the

main thing is that we start getting results against whether we play well or poorly as long as the results of their i couldn't care less. and it was the visitors who initially looked more motivated to get those results and when attacking down the left it didn't work because untried from the other side to. be firing at the near post but it was another chance one did it. and at the other end it took over half an hour to get back to even mountain attack like say their name on the spot with that 1st real chance of the game to try his best to boost his team's morale that here saw his shot deflected wind. one cause it was seen from his team was surely not what he types. but when they were cruising came attacking on the counter with speed at least he could count on his goalkeeper a young zama. first year b.

and then patrick schick both left empty handed. so far the match was a far cry from the 7 goals relate in the reverse fixture back when both teams were in much better for. goalless at half time and frustration all around in a sorry game of football. after the break however there was a steam reemerged was written by. his decision to leave that back in the summer has clearly rattled the team in recent weeks still the folds were eager to turn this game around and try to get a grip despite the push back and energetic run and shot from both nearly put them in the league has it not been for you want to tell tom who raced back to the box in time to block the shot but finally it looked like the game really would go black bat's way. back up or awarded a penalty when jeremy frimpong brought down marcos toha in the area foul no

question. about when v.a. arctic a closer look valentino lazaro was found to have been offside in the build up. another disappointment for holzer. with only 13 minutes to go laver couzin were the ones to finally break the deadlock with the summer carrying d.s.p. shot patrick shakes snuck into his 7th goal of the season. it was a fortunate finish but a hard fought goal which is quite fitting for leverkusen its current motto substance over style as he said himself bosh couldn't care less about the result here last fall back in the top 5 it might just spot that turn around. let's hope so but the result left barely a glimmer of hope the glass. recovered from the simmering. simpleton to keep

believing that you are able to change things quickly. and that you can get back on track with good results. and that the sun will shine again. but. at least for now it was and his men will have to keep waiting for that ray of light until they finally find those good results start now a little extra praise for the man who knows best how to get them. so we've added to the list of life's certainties its now death taxes and the robot love and dogs he will deliver son interested in expanding. the state to try to. just use mars to get most of all time but music record continues from the job. or from the spots. but. it's not the

time in his body for a living does the broken lives she told my family loves those longer range efforts these late fall is there for the soldiers. still rings around $11.00 do you know just needs to go to break those records we expect games left to play this season and knowing our goal machine of a match the hero who is betting against him now for the results of. the win was a must for both shall catch and minds night and managed to deliver the truth in cologne and bielefeld for at least some consolation light safe delivered a solid win in freiburg but of all the results the standout has to be by ends victory at the top meant indexical. number 3 among the match the. most stunning strikes was telling holland's 1st even

if his brace against body wasn't enough to get dortmund any point is. not going to. go number 2 philip cost it assists that but this time bagging a valuable goal instead of. staying. for the 1st goal lead over the biblical story. of life maybe the worst year ever for a friend. but our goal of the weekend comes from hoffenheim crystal found god not.

listen. to me. this sunday like sage went top for a few precious hours before buying and restored old at 52 don't listen to now out of the top 5 meanwhile stuttgart sneak back into the top half of the table. and that means glad backdrops have 10 spot otherwise no movement down below but look shall go over at least now in double figures and don't forget failure felt like getting into hands coming in midweek. cup time again this week not for reigning champions league winners but that they do it meant to be looking for a boost in that 2nd leg against sylvia and they did at least when the away tie.

can light saber turn their 1st leg loss against a vulnerable livable signed with the 2nd match again in neutral budapest. back home wednesday sees bielefeld hoping to leave the relegation zone in that game against a great many. after that event are up against leaders bias but the big match next weekend pits 2nd place like sage against frank 1st a very last one since the winter break for all the excitement today to kick off.

championships i give you a headache so what's behind his exit. welcome to the program. really miramar with a standoff between the military rulers and protesters demanding a return to democracy shows no sign of ending authorities have shut down several local media outlets to suppress reports of protests united nations says at least 50 people have been killed since the army seized power last month dozens more government to poets have been arrested in the latest confrontations. a moment of peaceful defiance sister and rosa new tongue knelt in front of riot police in her hometown in myanmar's north saying she was prepared to die to save protesters. but minutes later protests turned violent as police attempted to disperse crowds

protesting has become increasingly dangerous as police and soldiers have used tear gas rubber bullets and live rounds on crowds. last night in yangon residents defied an 8 pm curfew taking to the streets to show solidarity with hundreds of protesters trapped by authorities police fired stun grenades at the gathering supporters finally the trapped protesters were allowed to leave. when the sun rose protesters marched once again in mandalay they carried makeshift shields but stayed for only a few minutes a change in tactics to avoid another violent reaction from the other she's. more of the way. at night we couldn't sleep actually we don't want to go out but we're going out anyway. so we've been going out for 22 days and we haven't arrested yet

we're going out every day we keep fighting for the fallen heroes we will fight until we win. the military also attempted to suppress the spread of information revoking licenses for media outlets and detaining journalists from that there were . military. terrorist your progress is doubt but we managed to report back on satellite and on social media. about that we already got. you know when you. just know you know. it it's got arrested again most recently protesters say they will continue to gather across the country daily acts of defiance in the face of mounting risks to their lives and freedom straight to young gone and join the journalists aiming found welcome to do you w.

let's start with those protests and arrests in yangon we heard from some activists that some of those who were being pursued by the police have been allowed to leave wearing what's happened to the office so we've seen this a number of activists have been arrested as well as party leaders and just anyone who is very openly gay leading the movement of the sense against a military coup we've also seen that members of the national league for democracy each party that won the election in 2020 have been pursued more rigorously and in fact we saw one official who was actually detained by police and has died in their custody the police are claiming that he died a heart problem that he had but you know upon examination of his body his family has been able to see that he looked like he had sustained quite a number of bruises and showed seitzer he was essentially beaten to death right

that the military power the start of last month of i've been in charge now more than a month of protests have continued but the military response has become more deadly is there any indication that the protests are actually having any effect. so i think an important thing to remember about the civil disobedience movement that's happening here in myanmar right now is that it's not just a protest movement that's in the streets it is also paired with a sense the campaign and sanctions on the military infrastructure in the country so there are protesters out on the streets who are demonstrating their dissent as well as showing that the military run the streets of myanmar but you also have a movement in which civil servants are leaving their jobs in the hundreds and in fact even this week we heard that over 200 members of the ministry of information have left the ministry and are now joining the civil disobedience movement and

there's also generally a country right that's happening of military own or military operated brands you know even if they're not owned by the military are behaving in a way that is beneficial to military rule such as paying taxes or simply not saying anything on the face of the right so given all these different what's the military response is it purely what we've seen in the 3 very violent crackdown in the streets or is there an attempt to sort of win people over a very hard to talk people and explain to us why this might be a good thing. yes so you definitely see that in state run media so mirror has a number of outlets all television a number of radio as well as a few state run newspapers stat are essentially acting as propaganda arms for the military regime you have military officials coming out giving statements writing

stories essentially talking about why protestors are wrong the benefits of military rule and. evidence are you know what evidence they think can show about election fraud which is how they have claimed legitimacy for conducting the coup in the 1st place. i see thank you so much for bringing that to to us. young go. to the united states where the judge conducting the trial over the killing of a george floyd in the city of minneapolis has begun choosing the jury judge to carry he'll have delayed the process from yesterday after an appeal court ordered him to consider an extra murder charge against white former police officer don't show it was already accused of murder and manslaughter last may george florida law sparked violent unrest in cities across the united states. correspondent stuff and simons joins us now from in front of the court welcome stefan so how is the jury

being selected this seems like quite a contentious process. the court needs 16 jurors to select 16 jurors and that is 12th in the jury box and 4 alternates in case the judge decides to dismiss. during proceedings later on however so they just started to judge prosecution. attorneys as well as the defense of introduce themselves to the 1st batch of potential jurors which will be question now why. why did the judge schedule this for. 3 weeks for jury selection is because of. partial jurors and that is the challenge. that means you can't just put 10 people on the jury and people it has to be even. as well as the prosecution.

is to find those people here in minneapolis who by the way hopefully haven't seen the video we all have seen for a year ago and many times. police officer. george . wright so one killing but to charge 2nd degree. explained the difference to the jury have to choose. ok so what is 2nd degree murder is the intentional murder or the if you caused the unintentionally the death of another person that 2nd degree murder that is the charge that kerry see in minnesota up to 40 years imprisonment 2nd degree manslaughter is you are risking negs negligently the death of another person that carries about 25 up to 25 years in prison one way or 'd

another the judge and the jury can find that only one judge charge stakes or 2 and remember there's a 3rd charge which the appeals courts lets the supreme court now has to decide if it can be introduced to it to this whole ruling at the end of the process but again 2 charges for now one an intentional cause of the death of a person 2nd the risking the negligent driskill of the death of a person right stuff and simon's i've got that thank you for that. scotia up to speed on some of the other stories making news around the world forward catherine president a college proved tomorrow and 2 of his colleagues in the e.u. parliament have been stripped of their parliamentary immunity it means they could face extradition over the 2017 cattle independence referendum that spain declared

on the sport and big news in german football national co-chair you occupy the has announced that he'll step down after this year's european championship in june and july the german football federation said he has to be released from his contract a year early and 61 year old has been in charge of the national team since 2006 and lifted the 2014 world cup in brazil and what was the highlight of his turbulent tenure. and how or from did over his 4 can tell us a welcome and was a big surprise it was a surprise in that if i was his manager i typically tell someone to stick around until you get sacked and then you get paid out he had time to go on his contract and he off to that only that's always a surprise. but in the world of volatile movement and people coming and going the national team job is a longer term thing. i think financially he can afford all of us luxuries he can also afford a metaphorical luxury because he won the 2014 world cup that buys you the chance to make your own decision and that is football's ultimate luxury no one gets that

chance it's a surprise to see anyone choose their own time he went to 2420 in rio and won 2018 was a disaster public humiliation in russia if you're in the camp to say that this wasn't a shock it's because that story's been written ever since russia that he's lost the dressing room he's out of ideas and the team lacks energy and he had to go he chose he's tough ok so why now just months before the euro's interesting question the team struggled for 3 years in football you've got basically 2 leaders to pull as a management number one sack the coach it's the easy one if anything's going wrong in football you sack the coach we humiliate him on twitter and off you go to the prices the football machinery goes into overdrive number 2 and he's chosen this is to inject energy the job is to inject energy into a group of players feel who have been listening to this message man will noise be listening to you give the 15 years he's getting sick of that message maybe this

think about our war i think that era is over it's a financial product like any other financial the world is changing the most important commodity junk is called the free for more so for necessity for commodity starts march 22nd on d.v.d. . for god's most advanced economy sees its worst showing in 7 decking pandemic restrictions in south africa have weakened industries like local wine production forcing adjustments in the sector. the world's biggest tourism fair starts in berlin all of it online travel for face to face gatherings where it means difficult for travel of most kinds for that matter. and the organisation for economic

co-operation and development says the global economy could recover faster than expected if the vaccination efforts go well already a big hit in many places. this is the w. business i'm joined on in berlin so happy you can join us we begin in south africa where a fresh data show about the economy saw its biggest annual contraction in more than 70 years in 2020 despite gains in the final quarter of the economy shrank by 7 per cent for the whole year the steepest drop since $946.00 straight lockdowns and restrictions put in place to curb the spread of coronavirus are thought to be most responsible for the fall. now part of those restrictions was an alcohol 7 ban which was a blow to the south african wine industry but some vendors managed to say work with here's how. it's known as

a wine paradise the handle on ard or heaven on earth valley is located in the western part of south africa over the past year alcohol bans brought in as part of efforts to curb the coronavirus have dealt a heavy blow to the industry but wine maker anthony hamilton russell managed to buck the trend now if your business relied a lot on tourism or direct sales from the property. you hit particularly hard particularly if you also run a restaurant on the property we're lucky on hamilton russell vineyards in only selling in my 30 s. on average about 7 percent of our wine directory we almost refer people to buy it to retailers and i live in a country of origin and so i rather buy their wine making has a long tradition in the region and locals say the fresh atlantic air and abundance of sun gives the wine a unique taste but not everyone grower has managed to establish an international brand those who do have been able to weather the crisis far better

pascaline the ca works as a somalia in a new york restaurant. to assure markets for the situation has dramatically changed it's now obvious that south africa makes a purple lines and that walker bay has its place among the great wine regions for the shark name you know who are 12 years ago it was much harder to sell them but a lot of work has been done before and to fish. for some wine growers focusing on quality rather than just quantity has paid off those who managed to make a name for themselves before the pandemic find themselves in an especially strong position now still they await the day when they can once again welcome visitors to the valley. now those beautiful verdant hills could be one possible destination once traveling becomes easier where to go and when is just what attendees of the international travel fair are thinking about that's the world's

largest gathering of the industry kicking off in berlin today but covert 19 still hangs like a cloud over the now digital event and over tourism itself last year travel by 74 percent worldwide as the pandemic led to restrictive measures around the world. $1.00 trillion dollars in lost revenue for airlines hotels and many others in the industry putting some $120000000.00 jobs at risk around the world. and the beaches form the backdrop to the growing despair and anger among spanish tourism workers here on the holiday island of new york our hotels and restaurants have been shutting down pushing many close to poverty spain is just one of many tourism reliant economies that have been dealt a heavy snow by the pandemic in 2020 tourism top 69 percent in north and south america in africa and the middle east visitor numbers plunged 75 percent europe's
