the countdown is on with 10 match days to go and this book is like a season it's time to ask the big questions. questions like what has happened to gladbach the foals have lost all 6 games since marco was announced he's leaving the club in the summer after the defeat book will ask whether he should even stick around for that long. speaking of balls or have his next club go by his remorse yet don't mend were looking to get back on their feet after a sickening defeat to byron last time out but is there enough time left to snag a top 4 place we'll show you how they got on against hands about when. the biggest question of old who's going to win the title like to start at the weekend just 2 points behind by and we'll find out how that challenge bad as they took on the best team of 2021 frankfurt. by and for their. part faced

a trip to braman good robert levin dusty break yet another record. there are even more questions out there such as how long can 37 year old makoto have say they keep tossing but dislike midfields. and who will replace yogi live as germany coach when the world cup when it departs after the euros on all fronts this season is far from over we started out with the recession much england spiraling crisis. just how low. will probably isn't the only one who doesn't want to know the difference in another way can we give up we have to find a way of shaking this off from close up to. slump began a month ago after the announcement of his departure to dortmund in the summer since then his team has lost every single game in the bundesliga champions league and

domestic cup 6 games 6 defeats and the son of a revival. closer had demanded a gutsy showing from his team that out spoke and they set about the task from the off creating a series of chances including one for florian no house in the 5th minute. class does not look to be bossing the gate but as so often recently failing to turn position into goals. with those of directing from the touchline his team charged forward again and again but to no avail. the visitors were missing that clinical finish. the boss hadn't given up especially when this farmer marcus to arm and his side a penalty. the captain's top. and last and all haven't missed a spot kick in 4 and

a half yes yes. it was at this time he didn't even hit the target. from its arrival when we've been talking about a challenging phase for weeks now which gets even more challenging with every poll results he's come to know of course you need to score more and concede fewer if you want to win the new given us. and part of that is also preventing your opponent scoring from the very 1st chance i was. thinking about as is hardly a giant but still beach tindall to the ball as he headed outspoken front 7 minutes into the 2nd house. you know it's an obvious bit of it it's unbelievably frustrating that we can be happy with our start to the game but we just couldn't get a goal i also had a great chance and i think it's starting to bug me to be honest or. in the 2nd half

to kept us certainly had the chances at the top and in the 68th minute flying high has reacted quickly to find the bottom corner an equaliser. a tight anish and just rewards for largely dominant display. would be a turning point in a game. that's been coached like a hellish certainly looked alarmed. and continue to parse clocking up $23.00 attempts on the outspoken all. but the stats don't matter when the other side again create a goal out of nowhere a step firing and a loose ball. run. and with 2 minutes to go and they had found himself one on one fast boats 3rd shot on target and the 3rd goal. yes again marcos' team

came away pointless. field boys tried everything and did everything we talked about for the game for to get it we've talked about enjoying our football and i thought you saw that at times today i would have more done sean and still it's another week without a positive result and 1st we have to deal with that kind of flux aliveness one assumes wanted to justify but. coach to oversee 6 straight defeats was lucio 5 and 2015. that will be departing. he insisted after the game now let's look at how his future. dortmund were in fine fettle going into this game they may be out of touch with the top of the table but they're the only german side still in 3 competitions including the champions league. that's primarily thanks to the man marco goes will be

succeeding and in tears it's after a ropey start with him at the helm goodmans game has markedly improved recently in terms of tactics commitment and consistency but they aren't. enough that i've regained stability at the back which is pretty important and right now there's a massive will to win which was showing on the pitch. of course the 42 loss of buying a week earlier was a setback but they'd won their previous 3 outings to nil including against his club back in the cup. and have been playing with renewed confidence as half a 1000000000 found out talisman marco voice also looks to be recovering his shine. he went close to finding an opener. meanwhile there was a battling group formants from jude bellingham still looking for his 1st bumper sticker goal. after half an hour the 17 year old shop was pushed out of the fire

breaks $100.00 saved from whom eos time. but how to manage to make it to half time without conceding. that change shortly after the break gun fancied his chances from way outside the box. i found the targets 5 months justifying his 1st inclusion in the starting lineup in almost 2 months. just signed left wondering how he let that one past him and he wasn't the only one. and it might have been a gust of wind i can't say for sure i was surprised myself as he was in the right place but he can. pass so we're clearly the inferior side in the 2nd half at times very fortunate not to go further behind. i. don't know and have also been more dangerous from set pieces lately emery john with

a powerful header from the corner here but this time no fumble from yoest on the low point of an erratic display by the businesses was this reckless lunge by vladimir to rita that was game over for the half the midfielder and shortly afterwards for hobbling dortmund skipper roy says well. hall and was largely kept at bay but yusuf i'm a coco was alive why as soon as he came on hand in the dying seconds the 16 year old punched through the how to defense before smashing the ball in from an acute tackle 5 it was the teenager's 3rd of the season. the home crowd weren't there to celebrate with him but don't mind with another way him and another clean sheet. it was very important to him to switch to the other competition that is the most important for us so to get checked in see football next season all. so in dog want to we need to get wins it's before the

game it's been 10 days 10 games left the countdown started now it's 9 games left so we got to try to win $27.00 more points to qualify for the champs again don't mean to keep up the heat for a top 4 finish but now fans are questioning the wisdom of saying good bye to they can take it even if he will be staying on as assistant coach qualifying for the champions league looks feasible although that requires other teams to trip up. after. maybe he's european hopes on sinking into bosh is trying to keep his side in the champions league makes. michael you know how you coach one comma is simply trying to keep his club in the bundestag. taking it might would provide a real boost in achieving that i think. i could see doing turning in his 4th goal of the season i am the japanese flavor grew stronger after the break but nothing of

what finished another counter-attack i his 1st top flight goal not just the 2nd time to japanese players have scored 14 in the same game i have to shake off at some hope of a rising challenge from 100 side but the owners belong to be the felt and the japanese to have i play. almost pulled another team with champions league ambitions very european dreams are built on the broad shoulders of out of a coles. just as believe it or not shall because survival hopes depend on scott from a stuffy making the royal blues defense better i he has not made them better after that i saw the home side took over their own scoring duties of a cost pushing his season time. to 16 goals that's as many as the entire shell good

team have managed. to make calls turned provider for goal number 3. times the dutchman's control and distribution set up not before playing. his sights not 5 on a day shelter could only be thankful their fans were not there to see. if . not some on ago might seem happy to keep healthy company on their way out of the league. but then they put both spencer in charge and now the club is taking charge of its own destiny pakistan threaten to be about missed opportunities on bad sides substitution from friends and rewards for the home site and the 84th minute. good honks the order of the day robin ties on with his 1st goal since november 1st sentence men continue to make the teams above the madness played

it makes us feel good for a couple of days but then we need to focus on next again we cannot think on this again we need to look because we don't do this game perfect. so we need to look what we did better and then. have our eyes on the next good. player such nerves on the red side of the limit safety is no longer a dream it's a reality as to whether europe is possible next season. alone are part of the bottom 5 hoping to keep their distance from minds a goal from 12 yards made that look possible. but the home side kept their cool in the 2nd half mark schools that got them headed in the right direction. veteran forwards a goal of the season that need to decide to play. i

told you i'm captain pissed off at him of winding up a successful day in the spring sun i. play. stuff that unleashed one of the hottest strikers in abundance make against tough times such as ally church had schooled in 6 games that erratic behavior often times the scene adams put them ahead of them how you go. i just was about good luck. the 2nd was about the quick phase in quick thinking of c. last woman to catch. a 21 year old turned on the afterburners before composing himself to square the collider he turned in his 13th gold of the season. is now scored in 7 consecutive games plus to catch up on beach and the last 5 in the bundesliga putting them among the ranks of the european hopefuls.

we just have fun that's the king we're not on the pressure the gap between us on the bottom keeps getting bigger so we play with freedom he says if someone makes a mistake the image doesn't matter we have nothing to lose and we can try stuff out for. forcing it on us. there's no point trying to build suspense as to who won between buying munich and braman by an all the better team by any measure coached by a set piece mastermind evidence of all this was to be found in the 1st 2 goals. of the one for the pinpoint corner kick the flick the finish. at number 2 as i kept saying as the 1st was a fish and. thomas miller with his heart and his soul to put food on the table for the ever hungry serge gnabry the battle for 3 points was. settled the game was now

about live in dusky chasing goal scoring history he was denied by the post not once . but twice. but the polish striker changed boots at half time time promptly took his 32nd step to time season record of 14 goals. frame a phone call back late and lost his clean sheets but the moral of the story is that byron got what they came for. robert levin dusky is only a mission to ever take this man in the on boosting to school rankings class fisher who found the net 268 times in the koreas spanning 3 decades. it was a day of mixed fortunes for 1st he got a poke in the eye and that left him somewhat subdued for a while. for

a stray she to the prolific told the cross it was something to size and the head is out by millimeters. thomas mill have. taken but just a 2nd but i'd like us to try again and that is the wonderful double sometimes you tell blank at the 1st of the leg the 2nd with this thing you did on the cross. not his dirty cellphone the frustration grows from it and dusky paddling to once again repels the danger. that. there is he's going to 32 to the season in his career number 268 you know bundesliga level now in 2nd place in history with class trisha. only good minutes a catch although even at his own remarkable pace levelled off he still needs another 97. goals to match my luck on 365. and i think i'll have to

play for a couple more years to crack the record and we'll see if his body is still up to it but at the moment there's no reason to think about him stopping. and he's not the only player in the bundesliga whose careers seem septa go on and i'm gone. i could almost see the joint i'm tired from pat in 2014 and has just signed another contract extension at the ripe old age of 37. but i'm surprised myself around a year ago i thought i'd retire this summer. if you did it the stock i thought i could no longer have the stamina i'm doing tensity for difference i would feel today in themes being does it stuck out i didn't think i could do it. but the last 10 or 11 games have been really good to commute so why put

a limit on it. keeps kind of demeter me. the city has started all frank that's games the season showing precisely why he's too good not to carry on playing. i was was was about obamacare it's like every year with not all the others i doubt he showed us he had a new lease of life in ns ups and it's so deserved but he's super fit under. a great guy and actually a living legend as i shouldn't going to be able to get the most gets closer. and of course it was the indomitable market on the c.b. leading his frankfurt side on the pitch as they took on like sick. man wanted to see his team show a bit more bite following their champions league exit to liverpool with the sights now set soley on mustering a challenge to buy him for the domestic title would they be able to demonstrate

a conventional against front 1st. like to go into the game with the best time record in the league and were looking good to continue that win just didn't care about when close. friends but still had the best points tally since the winter break but had a real battle on their hands to make any headway in attack. the chiefs just provide a fillip caustic was given special attention by noting the caley. 28 minutes and 6 defensive chief dyer with a mechanic was forced off after pulling a muscle. but that didn't seem to make the host any more vulnerable not least for the finish like this from daiichi come outta frankfurt 1st shot of the 1st half. it was goalless at half time with leipsic at pains to find a way through frankfurt's back line. but the hosts a match from the break with an extra spring in

a step and took the lead just 2 minutes into the 2nd half in a 4th bag punching. kevin trapp it is best to parry justin targets fair shot for sped volleyed away the rebound in style. but by and having won on saturday leipzig needed to consolidate that late for 3 points. but then frankfurt seize the initiative for the postage with a direct pasta ominous in the box piccolo cheat making the st. it might not have been the sweetest of strikes from eunice but leipzig now knew they had to have their wits about them. just past the hour mark the defense looked pretty worthless frankfurt again went down the left and right you come out ahead in the space and time in the world to

draw the sides rattle. the force of the campaign for the attacking midfielder and an equaliser that was by now absolutely deserved. the game then opened up with like tick in particular not content with one point. mr button cuckoo tonight here by the excellent track just minutes after coming on. and they were chances at the other end to another late substitute look the young rich spend his golden opportunity to win the game for france 1st. and that was largely the end of the action as 2nd versus 4th ended in a school draw. near a spin that my lights on a run down like 6 and they're incredibly quick and strong on the bowl and a dangerous fall out of here as a share market there's been a great set of clients if you don't give it 100 percent what they'll destroy you restore and. it's a golf course and i feel a little bit disappointed we had

a lot we had a lot of chances so we have to score on them and so yeah it was it's a tough one but also frankfurt is a fantastic team. not 6 so the 6 game winning streak in the middle come to an end it also meant losing ground again by having a 1st strike so we can't know the results. $25.00 featured impressive wins for outspoken both books i'm a huge victory for minds felt with a shock when i believe accusing like 6 will be kicking themselves off to dropping points now let's take a look at our top 3 goals of the weekend. at number 3 months use of from akoko. to smoke. jostling so much each.

from. the best. this is it every news line for the benefit outweighs the risk the e.u.'s top medical regulator backs astra zeneca as corona virus vaccine for now on the head of the european medicines agency says there is no indication so far that the jab is the cause of reported blood clots also coming up. of the warning the powerful sister of north korea's kim june has a constant message for the white house as tensions on the korean peninsula rise and the suspense as icelanders wait for

a volcano to blow its top and finally put an end to leaks of troublesome tremors. only in the heart thank you very much for your company everyone european union regulators say they are firmly convinced the benefits of astra zeneca as corona virus vaccine outweigh the risk of any possible side effects on more than a dozen e.u. countries have stopped using the shot after reports of some people suffering blood clots after being an ocular hated the european medicines agency is investigating possible side effects of the vaccine and will issue its report later this week the regulators insist however that reported incidents remain very rare and they are encouraging people to keep getting vaccinated on the agency's director m.r.

cook says there is no evidence the astra zeneca vaccine has caused a blood clots there is no indication that vaccination has called these conditions they have not come up in the clinical trials and they're not listed as known arse or expected side effects with this vaccine in clinical trials both the facts and 8 people on the people who are thief the placebo up. small some very small numbers of about months. we don't the number of throw and balak events overall in the vaccinated people seems not to be higher than seen in the camera population all right let's take you straight to brussels correspondent garrick modest who is following this all important story for you georg the european union mrs a regulator said just moments ago that there is no indication that the astra zeneca vaccine is the cause of reported by clause does this now finally put an end to the

matter. well she said there is no indication at the presence and so they're looking into the matter they're receiving data from member states as we speak and they want to swiftly analyze that scientific material in order to find out if potentially that there could be a link a step wished if so and if that would be the case a lot of ifs in that sentence if that would be the case the european medicines agency then has to decide if it still stands by its verdict that the benefits outweigh the risks and here's that is a likely scenario so far it's a real low number of cases so even if a link could be established the vote it may be that yes to keep using that vaccine and another important information she gave is that she does unlikely that this is a batch specific problem because for instance an austrian individual batch of astra

zeneca vaccines was stopped so what from what we can tell for now that doesn't appear to be specific but related problem but this has again painfully laid bare differences of opinion let's put it that way between national health authorities in the european union and the european medicines agencies and even within countries and the european union. yes indeed but you have to understand that the that is the way the european union has constructed. one member states who are in the driving seat when it comes to health matters so the european medicines agency only provides advice and then it is up for national law forty's to follow that advice that for instance is also the reason why germany at 1st advised astra zeneca use only for people younger than the age of 64 and that is also the reason why some member states could as of tomorrow gift greenlights to another

vaccine that is not being approved by the european medicines agency how much of a setback has this been going on for the european union. i would say regarding the fact that we're fighting vaccine has it and c. on the continent particularly in france for instance but also particularly in belgium this is clearly not helping in that respect on the other hand experts say we're vaccinating healthy people yes as the head of the european medicines agency has correctly pointed out thousands of people are dying because of course at 19 so the benefits outweigh the risks here but seeing that you vaccinate healthy people you want to make sure that this is safe it is always a question however and that is why the european medicine agency is looking into the matter with the scientists the question of course you have to ask is is it really necessary that national authorities then say we stop the use of the vaccine because

clearly experts say that is a not really sure ink citizens who already have 2 outs regarding that particular vaccine yet might just reporting from brussels thank you. and let's catch up now on some of the other stories making news this hour. russia's media regulator plans to block twitter within a month if it fails to delete banned content all the action is thought to be related to demonstrations supporting the jailed opposition leader alexina vali the kremlin says twitter posts are inciting violence. german president phone call to steinmeyer has been holding talks in berlin with his israeli counterpart roven roselyn topic of discussion worldwide vaccine distribution tensions in the mideast and relations between germany and israel. the u.s. and japan have been discussing security in the asia pacific region as

a statement warns against quote destabilizing behavior by china u.s. secretary of state anthony blinken has also condemned what he called brutal repression by me and maurice military. on families who have been holding funerals for dozens of people killed during recent protests and me and our security forces have killed more than 90 protesters in the last 2 days alone the military has imposed martial law in many areas to crackdown on dissent but many remain defiant. a funeral for 19 year old cutting your head one of the dozens of protesters killed in clashes since sunday. and in send district of yangon protesters are digging in residents here are frightened but defiant they want the military to know they are prepared to defend their neighborhood. and i think if they oppress us more

we will fight back harder like they have been lying tyo are. just on the other side of the river lying thai our district has become a flash point of the protests. dozens of people were killed there on the weekend after police opened fire on demonstrators but residents of lying tyo are now fleeing by the thousands after the army imposed martial law there. it's the same neighborhood where multiple chinese own factories burned to the ground in arson attacks many pro-democracy protesters believe china has been propping up the myanmar coup china has urged its businesses to evacuate non-essential employees from the country and called on me on march to restore order. much of the international concern however has focused on the rising death toll among protesters the u.s. secretary of state issued a stark condemnation of the hunter's actions the military is attempting to overturn

the result of a democratic election and is brutally repressing peaceful protesters the un has also called on the me and more military to end the killing but to the frustration of many here and young gone the international community has had little more to offer than strong words no match for the hunt as deadly force. the influential sister of north korean leader kim jong un has warned the u.s. over its joint military exercises with south korea she says the biden administration should quote we're frayne from causing a stink if it wants to sleep in peace for the coming 4 years well it's the 1st time pyongyang has addressed president joe biden's team after a visit to japan senior u.s. officials are heading to south korea. all right let's get you more on this now we're joined by journalist and reuters correspondent josh smith who joins us from seoul a very good day to you josh on the 1st of all

a warning from pyongyang to washington what do you what should we make of this statement. it does definitely seem timed to coincide with the arrival of those top american officials here in seoul tomorrow these military drills actually started here in south korea a week ago some most north korea observers have noted that if north korea would be the wanted to complain about the drills they probably would have done that a few days earlier so this timing does seem directly aimed at influencing or perhaps making sure that north korea is at the top of the agenda when secretary of state blinken and secretary of defense austin arrive here in seoul tomorrow and there's a significant josh that this warning state when it's coming from the sister. of the north korean leader rather than from him directly what should we make of that. over

the past year community john has taken more vocal role especially an issue in the statements about south korea and occasionally the united states this is definitely showcased more of a public role for her rather than simply being kind of a helper to her brother she's taking on much more of a leadership role here in many ways folks see this as a way of having a very senior north korean official weigh in on this still allows a bit of deniability you think should go wrong or something needs to be retracted it's not coming from the leader himself but still someone very senior in obviously very close to him now the u.s. defense secretary laurent austin and the secretary of state blinken are due to arrive in seoul on wednesday what can we expect from their visit. so by ministration has said that they're making a priority of quote unquote repairing some of the alliances that they see as having

been damaged under the trumpet ministration there were certainly some public tensions between seoul and washington during the concord ministration at the same time it's not necessarily clear that south korea and the united states are going to see eye to eye on everything for example. lincoln has made it clear that he sees seoul is an important part of potentially building an alliance to counter china where as such the reaction has been more interested in not really coming down one side or the other on that debate and so those are the types of issues that are going to be tougher to hear. reporting from sell thank you. thank you. now icelanders are hoping a volcanic eruption will endure weeks of sleepless nights caused by tremors while tens of thousands of minor earthquakes have rattled homes in what experts are calling an unprecedented seismic event the quakes are caused by

a multan rocket trying to force its way to the surface. experts say it could happen at any minute. here on the wreck in as peninsula icelanders wait for an imminent eruption in the area surrounding that caylee is but among the few residents in this small fishing town the mood is not so much one of concern as it is exhaustion so a situation a grim that it is quite uncomfortable right now everyone is sleep deprived because the earth is constantly moving all day on lights some with quakes of bigger than others randy. is a schoolteacher and lifelong resident here. experts say that an eruption from the brewing volcano will likely occur in an uninhabited zone and not pose a threat to the 10s residence. what can be expected is a spectacular love

a show with fine tunes which could extend up to 20 or even 100 meters in the air. i think everyone who lives and get interviews just waiting for an eruption will be a slow and steady eruption they tell us just so we can get more peace and quiet and i know there will be the earthquakes but maybe not as big as we have pat. many are escaping to the capital of reykjavik merely to get a break and escape the night. but goodmans daughter is staying behind she's confident there will be enough advance warning if the threat to residents increases as for now she only earns for a good night's sleep. for i let you go i don't mind you of our top story this hour the european medicines agency has said there is no indication that astra zeneca is coronavirus a vaccine causes blood clots several european countries have suspended vaccinations

us well all eyes in europe are on drug regulators as governments there have stopped administering the coronavirus vaccine made by astra zeneca following some reports of blood clots the european medicines agency says it won't have a full report until thursday but its executive director had this to say today while the investigation is ongoing we are currently we are still firmly convinced that the benefits of the so pathetic hypocrisy in preventing poke at 19 with its associated prisk of hospital i think that outweigh the risk of the side effects. m.r. cook their head of the european medicines agency now questions about astra zeneca could put african countries in particular in a difficult spot more than 14000000 doses of the vaccine have been delivered to countries on the continent by the international kovacs facility the democratic republic of congo has already suspended its use i'm joined now by correspondent

that collette she in accra is it good to have you on the show now gonna has received some 600000 doses from kovacs of the. vaccine what are you hearing there so down here we've not had a report of people having side effects in the usual reaction of people gates we think in vaccines was what we had we had from people. like block head from euro. and of course we've had our government officials and those in charge of the health sector are saying that there are no reports of major side effects especially black cloud that has become a major issue globally so. we don't have any major issue with a vaccine that is the only thing we have and people are hoping i hope to stop the spread of the virus across the country and i take that to mean also that the government hasn't said anything about possibly suspending its use yet

a government has not spoken out about suspending the use because the government as i showed the public that there are no reports of a site of faith and so it's important people continue to take the vaccine so that it will hope started to spread of the virus again i have not taken any decision is no close to even thinking of suspending the use of the vaccine in the country how has the public there in ghana viewed vaccines to this point. even without the major reports of a side effect of black clothes people still have a free hand trying to take the vaccine and it's a challenge full or trying to encourage people to go in for the vaccine and that's why you see the president politicians and the religious leaders taken it to encouraged to take it so it is a mixed reaction people believe that the vaccine will help stop the spread by a lot of people who pretend see if they want to wait and see what i don't be side
