the basketball arena is just steps away from the superdome.y are still having problems. curry, mid shot, the entire place went dark. but unlike the super bowl comment they came right back on. draymond green, muscles in the the clutch jumpshot and has a career-high 33 point. the warriors look to curry to win the game but he threw up a break from long range. he had 37 but finished the game one of 12 from the field. and now six straight at home to end the regular season. baseball, the giants began the day with the best record in all of baseball. they had a chance to improve on that with the doubleheader in denver. a seven inning affair. the giants had a 10 spot on the board in the first inning. thanks to brandon belt, a 10 run lead is pretty safe, even in colorado. the giants win the opener 12-4. they were way on their way to a sweep, but jake mcgee, with a two run double and two outs, 6- 4. one batter later, ryan mcmahon, with one it to the right. story comes around, and it probably should have been over on this pop up, but c.j. cron got it to f

rehearsals the seats remain empty but when the contest takes place up to $3500.00 fans will fill the arenait's a big challenge to do that while maintaining safety during the pandemic everyone is tested at least once every 48 hours to make sure that we don't get any infections inside the arena. secondly of course it's the usual measures it's. it's social distancing at all at all places except if you're sitting and can maintain your social distancing as a backup all 39 contestants have recorded performances in case of infections only 2.2. is also excited to finally perform in front of a live audience again. he'll be singing for the host country the netherlands his song birth of a new age isn't 2 people standing up for themselves with his powerful message he is one of the frontrunners in this year's event. my song. resilience about knowing your own worth your self-worth and realizing that that is the thing that keeps you standing on both of your feet in difficult times it's also an ode to people who stand up for themselves and who claim their space within their society within the world saying

the brits personally well that's what i call dedication scott was the 1st event at london's i'm 2 arena since the pandemic started and there was a mix of niven prerecorded performances but very significantly there was a naive 40 in tennessee. yeah that was only made possible because the u.k. government designated the brits a past event so they allowed them to try out new protocols to see if you could do live music with a live audience safely under coded conditions so the stadium had several 1000 people in it many of them were actually workers from the british national health service the n.h.s. who got free tickets to attend the event and they were treated to a really impressive lineup of live performances including. performed her megahit driver's license live on the o 2 stage we had. he won the u.k. drill band that really got the audience on their feet but i was actually been impressed by the hype in performances the prerecorded ones like from the canadian pop star the weekend which looked quite impressive in general i think the brits felt like a return to normal of and a sign of hope t

cultural venue's everywhere thousands of fans and front line workers were invited to london's o 2 arena for the glittering occasion with some stars even braving quarantine to collect the accolades in person and some spectacular performances. the 2021 british words kicked off in grand style with a performance by the band coldplay from a pontoon on the river thames. but it was women who took center stage with 8 of the. brit's going to female artists including album of the year for future must tell jokes by developer. little. kids and a girl but only little mix who became the 1st women to win the trophy for best british group. it's not easy being a female in the u.k. pop industry we've seen the what might dominance mr cheney sexism and lack of diversity we're probably stuck together by said i'm proud to surround ourselves with strong women and i'm now using our voices more than ever which performances in front of a live audience and to talk about iconic elton john this year's brit awards marked a welcome return to normal for a music industry battered by a year of cope with lockdown. i was
