this is being hotly debated on both continents. stolen so. on t.w. . this is d w news line from the balance well the this condemn the bloodshed in me and maher united nations accuses the regime of committing mass murder against its own people the un special envoy tells us army commanders should face criminal charges. and dozens of civilians are killed and thousands evacuated as islamist militants seized

a town in mozambique close to financial collapse projects. and the formula one season starts with a bang as well champ can do is hamilton and young's pretend facts 1st up the battle it out in a hurry. i'm a hell of a homage thanks for joining us the united nations has accused the military in in march of committing mass murder against its own people security forces killed more than 100 civilians in the bloodiest crackdown since the army seized power last fall of anti-government protesters are back on the streets and thousands have fled into neighboring thailand. a funeral for a 13 year old boy psywar young was killed when security forces and yangon opened fire on neighbors say there were no protests in the area this is just one of many

funerals held the day after the armed forces day massacre on the streets of myanmar cities were stained and blood. his mother calls out to her son now gone forever can't you hear me she cries. was the little red was. even though it's now clear to everyone what protesting in myanmar means people return to the streets the day after the bloodbath determinist to press their demands for a return to democracy. there is no sign the military is changing tactics either and no hint for backing down from their threat to shoot protesters in the head. oh that is no one is safe and we are in you know extremely in a dangerous situation with beijing and the killing spree is going on against a city. there are fears that the situation could escalate further protestors are

picking up weapons which are improvised but with the hunt to using more and more force there is concern that the civil disobedience movement may no longer remain nonviolent. 'd while tom enders is the u.n. special envoy for man maher he joins us live now from washington d.c. thank you very much indeed sir for being here with us on the news that tensions continue to grow on the streets more than 100 people were killed yesterday how much further will this escalates lord only knows i mean this regime. this is no it terry has shown that it has no limits on its level of talent and its willingness to commit mass murder against its own people these are people that it should be defending and it's turned on them and us and it's killing them and. i shudder to think where there's where this leads and would you say the international community has failed the people of myanmar. i think the international community has

not done enough there have been voices should speak loudly of condemnation and concern. that's fine as far as it goes that quite frankly i think those words are really hollow with inside of me and more everyone i'm speaking with they want to see a focused unified international action like the secretary general has called for and i think that means convening convening immediately the united nations security council have this open debate on exactly what the obligations of the international community should be and let nations of the security council stand up and be counted i think there also has to be among those nations willing to take action right now a coalition everybody there has to be unified coordinated sanctions a unified coordinated arms embargo and i think we have to take and it immediately institute accountability mechanisms traditional mechanisms to hold these brutal

leaders accountable for the mass atrocities that we're pushing i think clearly we have crimes against humanity being caused and committed right across right you know it's one of our very eyes and the question right now is what the international community is willing to do about it almost anders when you see russian and chinese officials supporting what's happening and for example moscow's deputy defense minister even visiting the minutes for yesterday does this not frustrate any form of international attempt to keep the. ball get them from backing down. well of course it does but the fact is we have not yet had of vote in the security council security council has not had this crisis but certainly on its agenda and before that's exactly what has to have if russia or china or anyone else on the security council wants to veto or vote against foreign action ok stand up and do that but at least we need to be able to see where nations stand if you're on the security

council you have an obligation to take action and nice precise circumstances and if you're not willing to do it ok then countries around the world who are willing to take action need to work together in coordinated action and calling for an emergency summit of those nations to forge together a coordinated approach in which the various actions are linked together to have the strongest possible impact on this on this brutal military regime what do you think can be done to hold those accountable for human rights violations also said gentile of the said go on trial for mass murder. i think there should be accountability there's no question about it it should be judicial mechanisms in place the international criminal court certainly there's universal jurisdiction regimes and many countries any one of those should be implemented but if the media moment right now we need to cut off revenue that the 100 has flowing into its coffers that is literally stealing from the people that mean the work and using that money to

purchase weapons of war and give themselves the means to commit the this this these horrendous acts and we have to cut that revenue off you've got to cut off all access to to to weapons to the greatest extent the best possible way to make sure that revenue going into transit developed major humanitarian aid is not going through the winter but through a c s those organizations humanitarian to the station on the ground there are a number of action steps that we can take that the international community is not taking and must take mediately if words of concern are not going to be more than just just words to the people of of me right that's un special rockets on man maher tom andrews thank you very much indeed for joining us here on news my pleasure well let's take a look at other stories making headlines around the world and these 20 people have been injured and a suicide bombing outside a catholic cathedral in individual 2 attackers were killed the wounded were

northern mozambique the armed group is holding the town of power under siege it is a hub for international gas projects worth some $60000000000.00 the mozambique government says hundreds of local people and foreign workers have been rescued and the french energy group hotel has suspended work on a huge construction project that. correspondent major increase was in mozambique before the latest fighting began and is following those developments from cape town so asia what more do you know about this attack and is the government giving up control of its territory. well as far as we know fights are still ongoing as evacuation attempts as you mentioned today vessels arrived in pen by the provincial capital it took about 2000 people from the fighting area mainly stuff off the company to a tile off the oil company so a lot of people are still stuck in tile mine and the south african media reports

that dozens were killed already doing the attacks and at least one south african as well on friday it appears that a lot of people try to flee from what tell is a convoy and there were members by the militants at least one of them was killed but up until this point there's a lot of unclear factors here there's little information because nobody can just get that you get information the government is restricting access to the area and they also have to give out many details they only confirm that there is an attack but don't give out any of the information that we have this area has is quite sketchy in terms of access now what exactly is happening in mozambique right now can explain this time international audience. so the local people there call the group al-shabaab although they have nothing to do with al-shabaab the terrorist organization that is active in somalia instead there's a lot of similarities to the insurgency that we see in the eastern nigeria with boko haram you have a very poor part of the country actually the poorest part of the country a lot of people are unhappy that the government is not investing and the government

is not listening to them then few of them radical eyes and the security forces response was messed up force also taking their families and people who have nothing to do with those radical people and their ridiculous what people thought the whole thing spiraled out of control and all of the government has been busy over the past months that they were everything is under control it is not it's basically just been quite successful in keeping journalists out and international observers from the area but the situation is bad when we finally managed to get there last month we had terrifying stories from this place people in the camps that you had stories of children who were taken away father sort of the picture of a 16 year old jordan said look they just took away what you have to get anything off there you get stories of decapitating of villagers in front of the entire village and this just has been happening for many months it is still not clear though what the group really once but it appears that it's much more about power and influence than it is about religion right. there in cape town thank you very much

alike how is the world's most powerful woman shaping her legacy joining us from eccles last dot. com the obama. people have to say 1st to us. troy listen to the. reporter every weekend on d w. players earn 2000000 euros a week meditates have 10 different kick off times. more than 50 players at once.

how could a come this far. well it began exactly 30 years ago. do you remember 1991. no. people dressed like this and did this today have the best football at that time was . also earned to millions but in the year. europe what just roll played on the same day at same time but almost never shown live on t.v. . and players were not told kids in asia and africa didn't wear jerseys of matteo's all of the usual didn't make any money in the leagues you could only get 2 foreigners in your sport so no french connection and. no galactic cost in madrid. and no tiki taka and munich. was the last year. and 992004 as we know today what's plenty to do is kind of.

well there are 3 major changes that unbelievably happens in the same year. so now we are in the summer of $92.00 for the word boost and it does today. denmark didn't qualify for the euro's but somehow won them anyway and there was nothing that happened at the u.s. 92 in sweden the german businessman klaus hempel composer tony britain and asked him to write a classical song maybe something inspired by handle britain wasn't very creative he took a song they already used for crying english months bad. i. can't make the lyrics a little more. i was talking to klaus hempel 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 the european united this can't. it was to bundle the t.v. and sponsorship rights for all european participants and 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 it just your be an adventure and go thought of names like. champions cup champions tour in the end champions league why. he chose prime time for kickoffs which was as a continental compromise $845.00 c e t the t.v. stations and the advertising industry love to suit the money flooded in. order to equal in the. t.v. money rose from 85000000 swiss francs in 92 to 1000000000 in 2000 to.

it's about 2500000000 euros. and for introducing group stages instead of just knock off games top clubs had far more guaranteed matches but that was different before for example in 187 italian champions napoli and maradona had to pace reanimate drip immediately in the 1st knockout stage last meaning they had just 2 european matches in the whole season getting up with rearm adrift in 89 when they went out against the invincibles of ac milan in the 2nd 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 a deal 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 8. so still 9092 if the introduction of the champions league wasn't enough. there was 'd another major change here in football that year it began in england in 1991 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 a grim situation you had sort of a collision of problems one was full in his room which had seen english clubs banned from europe you had unsafe stadiums and most importantly football didn't make any 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 lag 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 when they brought mark hughes and gary lineker to barcelona in russia to you ventus things cats 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 4th division team 1902 changed all of that because of a group of insightful young executives who looked at america and saw something they really like. well are what i'm greg gumble he's very gradually walking in the n.f.l. they actually realize we're not doing 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 big in this business enterprises and autonomous leake with the right to market itself. the name of this premier league from.

an australian media mogul saw a chance to make english football a global brand rupert murdoch sky one the rights to broadcast print. games life from 1902 by closing a 5 year 300000000 pound deal. it's monday only on sky sports. good evening to you imagine the city of 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 army was completely different. you know crystal palace had cheerleaders. previously a football game on t.v. . you know the broadcast 5 minutes before it got mealie after signing. now on sky they were doing 5 hours of programming on super sunday and they think a lot of what we see on television is tactics boards and. wares and suits this

beings and. that's all really from so pay t.v. took over in 1902 other countries follow that example in the ninety's the consequences fitness clubs had far more money their matches were shown and thailand and brazil they refurbish 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 travel at that time in 96. all from syria the tight turn by the beginning of the new millennium manchester united spent their t.v. money on stars like for mr roy. get on. the premier league had become the richest and most attractive in the world for the role model for most of the other in 1901 no one would have thought it might.

be at the start of the champions league the start of the crimean and the breakthrough of t.v. in $99.00. to that there's one more thing that is at least as important as those 3 other major developments on february 7th 1902 the treaty of mastery 2 are signed the foundation of today's european union all of that effect football well the treaty of master it allows every e.u. citizen to live and work where they want across the e.u. construction workers craftsmen et merchants migrated by the thousands. for footballers read a little different at 1st clubs could reject the players wish to move by demanding high transfer fees even when the contract had ended the belgian player john mark bosman felt this situation did not comply with freedom of movement and judges thought so too this led to the famous bosman ruling of $995.00. the consequences

players could transfer for free of the end of their contract clubs offer contracts of 5 years or more today 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 flames in 1998 arsenal had 9 frenchmen in their school to. blast energy or him an argentinian sweep. an austrian spaniards. 2 dutchman. and a french culture. today around 60 percent of players in all the top leagues are foreign. we are used to seeing manchester city win the title will just to english men in the starting 11 and. it's also been a while since you were his top star swear to tell us. all the cost of the events of $992.00. today we live in an era that began to grow

as things that has certainly not led to a change of direction going to go the idea of seeing. on one hand you have the club's beginning to think of more ways to give. produce. and produce an interview. but the other side of it in you're always trying well and i think even with a situation today where in any country you might see recent. games if they're playing in europe. that becomes a little bit a little bit much top matches are already aired in $200.00 countries to all that many more than that on the planet. and the premier league we already have 10 different times per match that. gets untangled vietnam and kenya where spanish clubs shirts with a portuguese player's name on the back. porch pension so if they

can pay this form a march a day. why not this for someone else tomorrow. amazon is now conquering by football rights let's see what other take giants have in store. $9092.00 fox fiercely before $92.00 and then. it's in black and white so as to. use really good the. true colors of his. meet the staff. need a refresher. so you're saying but. i think i'll take the ball in this league all the games all the goals the emotion kickoff highlights here on t w c j c i s i fantastic football stories. every week on kickoff highlights.
