prob, with football, the football institutions leads to really long hold, look about how commission resists but let's stop here. fair to say putin has an obsession with sports fishing horse riding judo and hockey. all these images play a big role and how puts in portrays himself the wells. but even more importantly, to his own people, ah, started. so teaching the official discourse of since 2007 on 2007. now that was the year one of the so chilly peaks. well, we're good to russia this year, which marked transformation of contin, whoever he was at that's on into sports, it don't foresee as

a strong leader was capable of leading russia to victory different. so no wonder pu tim was interested in hosting major sporting events. the 2014 winter lympics insult. she was 1st personal mega project. after the collapse of the soviet union, russia could show that they were back in the game as a global power. and it was 2 tens, crown jewels. choosing a brutal race before getting east. deborah, just 54. by the end of the year, to con mistake in iran, 80, the only days out to the olympic flame was put out. putin sent his troops to ukraine for the 1st time. alex crimea, russian president vladimir putin casts his shadow across the boundary of europe and russia. tonight, his troops are holding firm in a corner of ukraine, known as crimea. rushing dealership was much more interested in demising

team leadership on the actually both sick city, washington, dc. god, during the so chilling, based on what else killed the 2018 feet 5 o'clock later agenda monday will be organized in after so cheap. who to landed the greatest show on earth. the football will come together, lead us to make sure that football promotes fair play. doh lawrence elena is not interested in too, but he's very interested in and as a consequence, you know, football is played a really significant role over his now 22 years. it was actually been a very important instrument of politics as the regime when russia was awarded the well a cup in 2010, that black that was still in charge,

a fee that puts in quickly formed a strong bond with lattice excessive jenny infant tino the feet of president of all people became hooton's, close ally in 2019 infant, you know, even received the russian order friendship, a gift for a loyal friend. there was several issues surrounding the world cup in russia, from reports of bribery and the bidding process to corruption and the abuse of migrant workers from north korea. but fever and infant ino looked away because they shared a common goal with putin to make the world cup a success with. and that's what they did when the 1st whistle blew. it was one big party all over russia. everyone was excited about football. amazed by the hospitality in those country, some people might label what happened in 2018 is sneaky lation. some people don't seem to call it soft our by funds going to, to russia and thinking, you know,

history nice here. i like this country. and what's, what's the problem with russia? i see no issues. and that is the essence of so out. but the world cup to scratch the surface. hooton's influence went beyond fifo. he infiltrated other parts of football to might you mean board regionalization? you know, the ownership of food clubs and the running oh, of the from association is completely dorman, isaac account, irish to check all of the big football clubs in russia. all here are either owned or controlled by a major state institutions or i'm state companies, all of which are bound to the racy take as prom, for example, a private natural gas company. but the majority is owned by the russian government . guys prom tucker was in it st. petersburg in 2005, and made the club

a major force in brush and football with gas bronze backings and it won that 1st everly title in the and pinion these. they could now make big money transfers and new international stars from the top leagues to russia. just from also had long sponsorship deals with red star belgrade for serbia. and since 2006 was shaka, one of the most popular clubs in germany with a working class mining background, the russian government and gasoline particularly used. i think they used 8 in one sense to build legitimacy, to build credibility. it was a form of energy politics or energy diplomacy, ready to coin football as a means through which to, to cover on to distract from what you really doing, which is obviously try create gaston and,

and see germany upon russian sol. system by sponsoring shall cup polluted and gas from we're able to whitewash their image. while popular figures like former german chancellor got food, a lobby for the company to opening the door for huge profits from oil and gas. germany has traditionally being gas problems, largest customer, using gas for electricity and heating in january 2022 alone. germany paid russia 2600000000 euros for oil and gas. and not only germany, the whole of europe has become dependent on natural gas imports over the years. 40 percent coming from russia in 2021. all this help, indirectly finance the russian army. and putins war after the russian invasion of ukraine shock ended the sponsorship deal, an intense public pressure. but gas prom didn't only target clubs. they also went for the big one. the wafer champions leave the most prestigious club competition

and football, orchestrated by gas pro light of the football gaz official partner of the wafer champions league. it's reports that god promised paid you if at least 40000000 euros every seasons in 2012. the deal included multiple partnerships with the governing body. it took a war to question and then terminate them. but the damage had already been done. gas from became v brand in european football. people have a question, not it was just gas pro was on which champions league night, there was a crimea and various other episodes that was also the ongoing conflict in east of ukraine. yet you have to still sign that the rather than asking questions and just to put money. and i think the teaching and the grant lane on of this new you e, 3 east to buy you way to the heart of european circle. and for that matter, woo shapell. that's will the dates when it comes to money,

influence and power. no one beats the oligarchs in russia. the rich businessman not only fond russian football, they also heavily invest in the european gay some of them have close ties to vladimir putin. there was one who changed the modern game for ever by buying chelsea in 2003. it normally says, you know, i think that was very much a part of a branch. his strategy. he's obviously made his money in nefarious wayne's previous decade, and he appears like, like a normal football fan and then you see news jack and his little smaller, not just the book war brown at each, i think enables himself to do. but i think also enables russia and whoever he represents within russia to do is just to be legitimize politics is and always

will be part of football. the question is, what kind of politics do we want? we're actually talking nations. i mean, cats are saudi arabia in the u. i. e's in best. these are not mere oligarchs or independent business people. these, these are purchases and policies that are absolutely central to a nation states foreign policy. you know, if you look at hungary, for example, we'll talk key west the state of the corporations and state and life business people have come to dominate the ownership for who clubs of companies don't wanna be running of the football association where stadium building programs using site money has been a y funnelling money to plant oligarchs, where find groups often shapes in tracy by the regime and mobilized in support for example, and hungry on sort of anti migrant us at

a 5 big protest. so i would say the sort of techniques that the preaching regime was used to control in years of definitely been replicated elsewhere. ah, the beautiful game is at a crossroads. russia's war forced football into action. but what will the future look like? will football continue to look away or will it finally listen to his conscience? a i'm sure he will not get a chance. it's not sure you got in your she's done as a favor is were done. european people say that because it's now asking very, very difficult question could envisaging a program or who would massively restrict the power of government and political agencies to a ah,

ah, always following blue gushed ag towards the left river on there's a lot to discover along the way summer by ford to mountain castles and apple strudel chickens next on dw insomnia. all over the world. more and more people are having trouble sleeping. some of them even sleep all day and are active at night. but sleep disorders have detrimental effects on the body and may even increase the likelihood of dementia. what can be done to prevent
