crisis. i thinink it's more than a crisis i think it's got a huge. because dururing the few months is arub we k know thee ground she writes. no dememand i need.. to get teams noo sponsorshihip so. it's incredibe because and because- one must know ruben you fall fault lines. it's hard for people who perhaps don't know the game as well as you do. to appreciate why this is a crisis because one he is about football clubs and footballers having amazing amounts of money. but i imagine full clubs lower down. the ladder. it is really difficult and it might be difficult for some to survive this. y yes i agree with you o on or so we h e to understand that specicific french will collapse is the leave on their trading. yes so they need to send. on because of the crisis it's what you

were doing he's so much also window. and no because i would buy anything no smoke it would buy anything so every year. the next one down the street yeah to maybe set for jan twenty beyonce. and i need to be maximum wages yes because yeah almost nothing your opinion. indeed it is in fact on the paris such amount that's these a buying club in process now as as it as you just pointed out to the biggest losers than the clubs. the fans the players it. seems all around people are missing out. yes i don't see someone help you the situation- now is a good reason inquisition was embarrassed. because the students are true the judge said that you cannot even face because which is the default. because everything changes. on i think the problem is it's a bit more comprehensive. now is if you don't reach. once we- to put on just a- but of course as soon as you have no choice do not to adopt. or so called defined

because there is no football game to watch the altamont location all she wants so it's a difficult t time yes in places like the netherlands- greg what a decision was made to abandon the season it in england the still a debate about what happens will the season be resumed at some point will it be abandoned we don't really know- haven fronts professional football but he played until september. still clear ruling as what happens to season twentyty nineteen twenty twentny is it abandonedd is it resumed what happens next just think that's the point. authorities that rule the game uefa fifa they need to stand d up and mak. a decision and say what's going to happen. yeyes it's certainly surprising that's- nobody knows where we are going so i know it's seven you quite tastedd somethining never happened befoe but- i think. we have to agree to a beach ball- control so. we thought we thought we should

teach because everybody- do scenes are going on he cannot talk we are. in look at each one it should be taking fall every jeep not funds since september need on the. wrist one million six hundred results and you signgn in to stay. it is strange because we sure enough or some horse on stopping again this. in health is the most important factor that wasn't as you're speaking with showing images of the twenty eighteen celebrations when france won the world cup and it was remarkable in paris. the crowds were out everywhere the show is lease it was packed. but i'm not thinking about the recent game that was played in the champions league between liverpool and atletico madrid adam field in the city of liverpool- i. said if it was the beginning of march when the king took place this h. enquiring how the littlest why that was allowed to take place because cases of coronavirus went up. because the from

madrid came up and bring the virus. it really shouldn't. that pulled is just to get. health is the most important thing. yes i think peoplee is the most important thing but now we should look at the phones we often ask we have to test we have a very good medidical system soo i thihink e you need to know the district attorneys the board o on the street we short stocks to make semi trarained- wee sure need to bebe stopped- the training of te bill because. whehen a playerer. you saw. on d during the streets on make on the a additional. iss just maybe not trying to soso seven each this is on a- in sept. yeah to what we're doing also five weeks focusus back to. so during. a a e med j june july augustst september it's almosos six months withoutut a any writ.

soso it's impossible to know wht a clever selection. indeed anna because as you say getting the players physically ready to play is something that needs a lot of very careful attention. grabber thank you very much h ay grub axelrod a former footballller now a football analyst as you heard with his insight. and analysis of the situation football in france will not resume before. september it's the same for. a rugby medics and it takes at least fifteen weeks to get a player ready to play a proper. channel game against the league's maxes out in hand- but of course has to be the main thing. for modest steps you. twenty four. hello and welcome to this house and got the interview today with us and also joined paris one of the living legend among wall reporters.s. when one of thehe t famous british journalist john swain hello. hello sir thank you very much for being with us

you are here in paris with good good news- finally- twenty two years of after of beieing of being publisheded. your memoir you'll book has been translated in in- in in france this is a river of time which is. an iconic bouquet even the choice yeah i can say this and i can book- all around the world it's translated in french now- the equipped- publishing- call company. so i wanted to- says to ask youou a- question because in the few in the in the first pages you are writing i didn't want to trade the style jia. what do you mean by these. well induction or is a place which- including the war in a- you can capture e the imagination of all of every semi westerners who with that whether they were french planters soldiers. american soldiers journalists will fast- and war changes people in changes me and- and i

didn't want to. for more give a sense that i was nostalgic for laurel i have sitting or standing for the country's i was in but they were going through the most horrendous times a one who shouldn't be nostalgic about that but but even so it is that it is it's a it's a place which is stands apart and mocks me very strongly in most of the people so in that sense when his nostalgie. is it so you think- was it- well so to say i do to say farewell to indo china. old memories as a young jouournalis- being cooked in the seven major- war- india china. writing the book was a way to.. put to and into hard covers such as between hard covers my experiences and- and into china as wilkerson young will correspond but it's also a book about coming of age rate it's a book from going from a- going into entering adulthood in in

in in inn by confnfronting- horrific situations- in the one of the most exotic and beautiful places in the world. you are very nicely- but using the mekong river- which is namely- the at the mother of waters- if you if you go by the street the name. and using- the mekong river- as a and then g. of memorial or- none of senses and but you are also saying you were writing the mekong is not as innocent. as it seems what do y you mean by t that- will- t onone has a romanantic vision of the mekong whwhich is the most beautiful river and- i've traveled. a longg length o of it noted not in china but in india china. laos vietnam cambodia- i've seen it in its ferocity in the cooking fulls- and wet and the border between laos and cambodia- and then it becomes

more gentle- is it the river flow anyway- it's set in the dry season. but i've also seen it it's good travels through the lands which were in it at that time- it will it will and the mystery fixings are hahappening. a all around thehe memekong and i usedd to see bods floating d down the making of people who've been massacred. ininnocent civililians. the as a the blue is a is an iconic buka all you twisted twenty two years ago and very very famous one of the key books- regegardig the memories of- the intention i i. into china. thehe war. the question is how do we explain- the why inference- we were covering the intention is what the intel coming. wars ended to china he took twenty two years toto be trtranslated from the french public. would you say or think that there was maybe in france and in the west particularly some. problems to face bad memories because by the way a war we lost to the as

french as algeria. and was. quite difficult to address to the- these kind of memories. maybe a little bit but i think that certain but the main reason it wasn't chosen to french to be honest with you is that my english publishers w wee lazy about transformation fronts- and- i didn't do much about it myself but- is in the background very much wanted it to be translated into french- i've been. very strong attachment to france- inn all sorts of different ways and of course that was x. the invasion moving to the former french colonies of vietnam and cambodia- make that eveven more strong for m me- i think that's- ii think thahat's- is there is - yes there's a there's a tendency of *-*- some countries to turn that. to try and forget and turn that back on there is a colonial episodes at the same time- it's in the americans were not too eager eyes well to address the defeat in the in

vietnam a few years later merited merit conspicuous- mmhm. it has a-- the very picture interface and magnanimous in victory as we- as we saw from the second world war. we describe in the in the in somee mmhm some of the most somber pages very sinister is. some things you have been some events have been- witnessing a regarding the event the tragic events of the book people from vietnam leaving. after seventy five- going into i. sees in the in the c china china s sea. i wanted to ask you as a reporter. are you a combined this with your memories you archch your spirits as a weaknes of these such tragic because what you're describing is extremely violelence- jones when you live with ghosts. sometimes less so now because i'm older- but- yes absolutely and- when i'm- for. my photo of southeast

asian children association people people from cambodia vietnam laos incidents in difficult circumstanceses i'm'm ready ready touched because i knew that i can see in their faces what types soreness in their faces not been nineteen seventy to nineteen seventy five when i was that i can see how they how they express fear how they express terra how they express hunger it's a it's ready sort of. breaks my heart do you think it's the savings when you were still young man built you are destroyed you what is the percentage. i think it builds me. but i'm the question is at what i'm not the same person i was at i was all those years ago. but i think that. someone said to me that's no such thing as a bad experience i tend to brady x. because you can learn from it- but that's a tough question- but i mean that you. know i was terribly what the important thing is. that i am you know genesis terribly privileged i

was very privileged to be that.. as a young age i was very privileged to- to see those things horrible to say words too seed by fofoot it's- most horrendous at the spread of the shop and- undersea- yes. suffrage was c. terrific humamanity you know human beings helping h. as well. and that box as serve from that point of view i don't think. it turned me into a sick. m. back to the bookok trudge. i want to ask you you'll refer. after decades of covering wars all around all around the world. it looks like the story. a teaches nothing. because we have the very same book people tragedy in the indian ocean in the military and we have three cities all around the world and still the same. main problems of corrupt governments- the lack of understanding of willing to do something about it by the internationanal. community what is your reflection the worth doing over what you did. well

it doesn't only if i what i did i think it's very dispersing thatat these things just repeat themselves that history repeats itself. i'm not one of those jojonalists whwho. believe they can change the world what they've written- actually i mean i think that's a a critically pretentiousus- but- i think you know trying to write what you see and what you feel is a journalist- it because we are. we are in n a privileged place which other and leading your readers. as if they're on your shoulders so they can actually see whahat you see. and bring it home to them i think. that has to be has to be a good thing. there are some beautiful pages i enjoy writing a new book you mention these beauty into sadness this test measures true's. in french i would like to ask you are you reconcile. these apparent contradictions between violence barbaric actions we have been witnessing and this beauty. i would have these specially what you have we have been with the sininging incomeme yeah how do you reconcile that. or was it

possible. well i think the i think the chairman beings have twtwo sides of thehem and- i thk one of the thihings that i camae away withh is that. and i have is that- human beings even in the even in you know in in in these places- in the mist exotic places may become behaveved d disgustingly towards eaeach other. a and they can bee let't's get badly by people who encourage that- and that's what happened in cambodia i mean there's s a- you know this famos bunch of special. the stotory of
