at the pfa we ran a campaign 18 months ago about enough.successful so we can replicate that elsewhere to really hit social media companies where it hurts. —— about enough. just to make them more aware. they have let this go on. i'm aware that at one point one of the suggestions was that, not from social media companies, but players take down their accounts. that is turning the problems round onto the victims rather than the perpetrators, that cannot be acceptable. that has held back this whole debate. iffy 0nuora talking to me a little earlier. thousands of people have been arrested across russia, following mass protests, in support of the jailed opposition leader alexei navalny. riot police and national guards troops shut down parts of the capital moscow for a time, closing metro stations and blocking off streets, as thousands of people demanded mr navalny�*s release. he was jailed on his return to russia, after recovering from an assassination attempt. with the very latest, here's our moscow correspondent, steve rosenberg. by law, russian

and again, secretary esper stood up, pfas task force.i'll check in with them and make sure i expedite their work if at all possible. and certainly i look forward to working with my e.p.a. counterpart on this issue. i think it's -- it's very, very important to mitigate the effects of these contaminants as soon as we can. you can look for us to stay committed to that. sen. peters: i appreciate that, yen. you mentioned in a number of questions about the changing nature of warfare and we are on the cusp of major changes as a result of technology alluded to some in the last answer, whether it's a.i., automation, directed weapons, we know we're in a technological revolution that will change the way we live dramatically. when that happens, it also changes the face of warfare in dramatic ways. and it's not just the complexity of our tools, but as you mentioned, it's the strategic an operational environment as well. it's going to require some really -- some creative thinking outside normal policies and how we prepare for this change. and i think

the cost will be fully funded by the pfa.tbreak at league one shrewsbury their derby against crewe was postponed last weekend and it's very unlikely that they will be able to play in the fa cup 3rd round at southampton on saturday. the league game agaisnt lincoln next weekend is also thought to be in doubt. in rugby union, the premiership champions exeter have reported more positive cases this week, but as it stands they still expect their top of the table clash against bristol to go ahead at the weekend. tighter covid protocols around match days and in training have been imposed today to try and keep the league going. here's our rugby union reporter sara orchard yes, they have announced new enhanced measures and they might be a bit familiar because it came out a lot on the first time round and all spots going to different tiers in stages to actually get back to returning to play is a somerby familiar their split between certain regulation at the training grounds in certain regulations put in place on match day and so when it

the daughter of former england and west brom stirkerjeff astle joins forces with the pfa to help shapeplayers with dementia. it doesn't mean that we won't be critical. it doesn't mean they will silence us. because that really won't be the case. and australia's steve smith roars back to form in the third test against india with his first century for 16 months. good evening, welcome to the programme, thanks forjoining us. there are some in the game questioning whether football should be continuing tonight amidst the pandemic — you'll hear from them shortly — but it does go on. including at aston villa who are taking on liverpool in the third round of the fa cup, despite nine of their players and five members of staff testing positive for coronavirus. kick off is just over an hour away. conor mcnamara is covering the game for bbc radio 5 live and joins me now. one thing we know, we will see a young villa side tonight. yes. aston villa have i think to their credit done very well to get this game to go ahead at all. immediately on the first team players were ruled out because of the outbrea

one of the last things i want to get to in my final couple of minutes is pfas cleanup and remediation. many communities across the country continue to suffer from enormous impact on their water supplies from pfas chemicals. in particular in drinking water, and groundwater used for drinking, and in some cases, agricultural use. one of the most hard-hit of these communities is around cannon air force base in new mexico. a community that has been incredibly supportive of that facility for decades. the air force and department of defense more broadly have, frankly, slow walked the cleanup and remediation efforts for a number of years now, despite really clear evidence that defense activities are the source of that contamination. if confirmed, i would ask that you make full pfas remediation a priority in the department and ensure the department of defense takes concrete steps to finally do right by these communities that have done right the department for literally decades. gen. austin: the safety and health of our military members, family members, dod civilians, and our communities is ver
