technical or human error could have caused a huge container ship. engineers are still working to reflect the ever given the vessel has been blocking one of the world's busiest shipping lanes for the last 5 days. how did the ever given one of the biggest container ships ever built end up blocking one of the world's busiest shipping lanes and how long will it stay there the chairman of the suez canal authority is facing more questions than he can answer but he says more than just strong winds caused the accident. an accident this big has several mistakes several causes a part of it could be a technical mistake which is under investigation and there could also be human error which is also under investigation and there could be a lot of mistakes but we can't say what they are now the only factors we can be sure of now are the wind and the sand story. those are not the only factors like i said but the rest will become clearer in the investigation.

but while experts investigate further the ship still has to be freed 20000 tons of sand have been removed from the area around the bow and 9000 tons of ballast water have been pumped out in order to lighten the vessel the operation has so far been unsuccessful but 2 more tugs are on their way if they can't move it the next step will be to unload cargo. if the issue of lightning to load is of course plan 3 or the 3rd scenario which we hope not to reach. but if we need to we will have ships with cranes empty container ships with cranes that can remove the containers one by one off the ship and put them in the other vessel until we empty the whole load. and i remember the president of. the german insurance group says the blockage is costing the global economy tween

$6.00 and $10000000000.00 a week a 10th of the world's merchant shipping uses the canal. to sports now and in formula one. red bull's max 1st often starts in pole position at the season's opening grand prix in bahrain he finished an impressive 4 tenths of a 2nd ahead of world champion lewis hamilton of mercedes the finish driver of all terry botha's starts and 3rd. max for stepan of red bull had a great week of practice runs and he topped it off with a masterful performance on the track in bahrain in fact 1st stop and begins this year's campaign much the same way he finished 2020 when he took poland out of the dobie he then went on to win that race. yet the whole week so far i think the car has been working really well and has been really enjoyable to drive of course with the wind changing a lot around every session is not easy to set up the car but it all worked out

perfectly and paul firing. was very happy with the decision. defending world champion lewis hamilton of mercedes just couldn't catch up with the maquis the brits hopes to be the 1st formula one driver to win 8 world titles he's currently tied at 7 with german legend mikhail sumach. now for viewers in europe don't forget that clocks go forward by an hour across much of the continent as we move from saturday into sunday and from winter to summer time and while we're on the subject let's meet a man with a special interest in time passing. some people have partners children or pets for company seek out food bought is crazy about clocks. 365 of them. but who has time to count most people might be take tossed by the constant wall of noise not to.

as a man who once an estimate if you can get my clocks of the love of my life and i love them above all else in the evening other people take sleeping pills so they can sleep i sit in my comfy chair turn everything off look at my clocks listen to the ticking and watch the hands moving and then i feel so calm and relaxed i can go to bed and sleep suddenly off. having a massive collection of timepieces requires plenty of patients not least the round the clock cleaning effort but so too the painstaking baseness of least twice a year for daylight savings. back in the day when i was still a bit hectic i used to have cloth parties i invited friends around between 2 and 3 and we changed all the clocks but that was when i was young and beautiful now i do it all alone this comes out i know it's i'm with no one to help me has to get started on the job 5 days before the clocks change their all time waits for no man

of life because no one should have to sleep. please make up your own mind please w. . lead for minds. players earn 2000000 euros a week magistrates have 10 different kick off times clubs alone up more than 50 players at once. how could it come this far. well it began exactly 30 years ago. do you remember 991. no.

people dressed like this and did this today have the best football at that time was . also earns 2000000 in a year. euro what just rolled on the same day at the same time but almost never shown like on t.v. . and players were not told red kids in asia and africa didn't wear dresses or mateo's all of the companies will be making money in most leagues you could only get 2 foreigners in your school so no french connection and. no galactic close in madrid. and no tiki taka. but that was the last year. and 992000 modern football as you know today 92 is kind of. a moment. well there are 3 major changes that unbelievably happens and the

same. so now we are in the summer of 92 people. and did this today. denmark didn't qualify for the euro's but somehow won the. anyway there was nothing that happened at the u.s. 92 this week. the german businessman klaus hempel met the english composer tony britain and asked him to write a classical song maybe something inspired by handel britten wasn't very creative he took the song that already used for crying in his smarts that had i i. can't make the lyrics a little more. practical sample he was tasked by you to create a premium international competition that was a trick more money than the old european cup good evening welcome to. this concept

was to bundle the t.v. and sponsorship rights for all european participants in one hand. in vigil countries could no longer decide which sponsors to put on the edge of the pitch or at what time games. they had to swallow its european adventure and bill thought of names like. champions cup champions tour in the end champions league why. he chose trying time for kickoffs which was as a continental compromise 845 c e t the t.v. stations and the advertising industry laughter. the money flooded in. i voted he couldn't get in. t.v. money rose from 85000000 swiss francs in 92 to 1000000000 in 2000 to. it's about 2500000000 euros. for introducing group

stages instead of just knock off games top clubs have far more guaranteed matches. that was different before for example in 987 italian champions natalie and maradona and had to face reality drip immediately in the 1st knockout stage last meaning they had just 2 european matches in the whole season that. same with brianna drift in 89 when they went out against the invincibles of ac milan in the take on stage. and now all of the top teams play at least 6 matches plus they have a high chance of reaching the knockout stage because the pot system splits the top teams and puts weaker sides in each group on the pitch as the best clubs from across europe go head to head so the result of idea was an explosion of international t.v. money the widening gap between the rich and poor and the shift of focus from national to continental competition. so still 99 to 2 if the introduction of the champions league wasn't enough there was another

major change here in football that. it began in england in 1901 the so-called big 5 at that time manchester united arsenal liverpool tottenham and everton were sick of playing in the 1st division why. it was really quite agree situation you had sort of a collision of problems one was hooliganism which had seen english clubs and from your you had unsafe stadiums and most importantly so-called making money in those days today the world's most popular football league english football hasn't always looked like a sleek marketing machine. just 30 years ago the english league lagged behind in terms of sponsorship t.v. money and european success. all the international stars went to spain or italy no one went to england and even british stars went abroad mark hughes and gary lineker had to barcelona in russia to you venters english clubs were not attractive for

sponsors and it was basically no t.v. money from the f.a. men united got the same t.v. money as a prof division team in 1900 to change all of that because of a group of insightful young executives who looked at america and saw something they really like. l r one i'm greg gumble he's a very fragile and we welcome you in the n.f.l. they actually realize we're not. business with the entertainment business and so fans are also customers. so club after club followed the idea of the big 5 and finally found a community based on the model of week in this business enterprises and autonomous leake with the right to market itself. the name of the premier league. and australian media mogul saw a chance to make english football a global brand rupert murdoch's sky won the rights to broadcast premier league

games live from 1902 by closing a 5 year 300000000 pounds deal. it's monday only on sky sports. good evening to you imagine a city in queens park rangers tonight marking the start of a whole new era suddenly it was a whole different as they said a whole new ball game. the production values completely different. you know crystal palace had cheerleaders. previously a football game on t.v. . you know the broadcast would start 5 minutes before god and immediately after the final whistle. now on sky they were dealing with 5 hours of programming on super sunday as they called it and i think a lot of what we see on television today tactics boards and howls of analysts x where is and suits discussing things and. that's all really from so pay t.v.

took over in 1902 by the congress follow that example in the ninety's the consequences biggest cuts had far more money their matches were shown in thailand and brazil they recurse their stadiums and above all they bought. the new era began with the arrival of eric cantona in 92. arsenal signed dennis bergkamp in 95 from him to milan for over 11000000 euro which was incredible at that time in 96 chelsea. all from syria up the tight turn by the beginning of the new millennium measures to united spent their t.v. money on stars like for mr roy and who and sebastian vettel on. the premier league have become the richest and most attractive thing league in the world for the role model for most of the other leagues in 1901 no one would have thought it might. be at the start of the champions league the start of the premier league and the

breakthrough in 992 but there's one more thing that this at least as important as those 3 other major developments on february 7th 1902 the treaty of moscow to our site the foundation of today's european union all of that effect football well the treaty of mastery allows every e.u. citizen to live and work where they want across the e.u. construction workers craftsmen and merchants migrated by the thousands of. different and furnished clubs could reject the player's wish to move by demanding high transfer fees even when the contract had ended the belgian player john mark bozeman felt this situation did not comply with freedom of movement and judges thought so too this letter to the famous bosman ruling of $995.00. the consequences players could transfer for free after the end of their contract club's contracts of 5 years on walk a day and series race much more often. the other effect was the high speed

internationalization of football league of the league got rid of the limits on foreign players in 1998 arsenal had 9 frenchmen in their sworn. blast energy rian an argentinian as we. reported. in austria. the spaniards meant to dutchman. and french culture of course. today around 60 percent of players in all the top leagues are foreign. we are used to seeing manchester city win the title just 2 english men in the starting 11 and. it's also been a while since you've is top star swear to tell you. all the cost of the events of $992.00. today we live in an era again and 2 coronas things that has certainly not let your change of direction going to go the idea of seeing friends as customers. on one hand you have the clubs beginning

to think of more ways to give. produce. and produce an interview. but the other side of their lives you're always trying well and i think if you were situated. in any country you might see recent. games if they're playing in europe domestically. that becomes a little bit a little bit much top matches are already aired in $200.00 countries there are not many more than that on the planet. and the premier league we already have 10 different times per match day. kids in tonga get numb and kenya where a spanish club search for the portuguese player's name on the back. there so what is pension so that they can pay this from a march today. why not this for someone else tomorrow. amazon
