and how gareth southgate has made the international experience one to savour.t couple of years, you can see the steps that we've been making as a team on the field off the field, but, of course, the most important is on the field. and the darts goes on despite another covid withdrawal and the defending champion claiming the tournament should be delayed. hello again. not only is the festive period a much—loved tradition in the premier league hidden amongst it is the half way point of the season. and manchester city have arrived there on the back of nine straight wins. if things go their way tonight, they could be nine points clear. they play at brentford and then again at arsenal on new year's day, as they attempt to negotiate this crucial part of the season, one that's become even more fraught with complications brought about by covid and injuries. we have long weeks, but now we have 29 and the first, the two away fixtures against difficult, tough opponents. but the premier league is like this, that is the most difficult competition when you are able to win it,

southgate's comments came during an interview with raheem sterling while the forward was guest editingend of the game when danny rose got booked and there was a reaction from the crowd. i didn't realise earlier in the game that from the other side of the pitch there had been racist abuse going on. when we got back into the changing room and i am having a go at danny forgetting booked. i had to apologise on the plane because it suddenly emerged this had been going on during the game. i didn't like the fact the boys could mention in the changing room at half—time or report it. so for me it was like, this is awful, how is this environment where our players are allowed to be abused on the pitch and they don't even feel comfortable to report it or feel anything is going to happen. even now i know that we would all worry about, even if we reported, is anything going to be done about it? but at the least this had to be a team where we were united on how we saw it. and we could send a message to young kids watching that i think the lads may be didn't realise how powerful that would be going in

the racism suffered by gareth southgate's england side was as ugly as it was depressingly familiar.ring qualifying, helped to form the decision for players to take the knee before games. a lot of the times when, you know, the racism comes up, or something's happened, we tend to address it for that period, that five days, or that week. and then, we normally brush it up under the carpet, and things are all fine now. and when the next scenario happens, that's when we go again. 0n the whole, we just wanted to keep highlighting that. yes, there's been times that we've sat down and say, "is the message still powerful?" and we've said yes. as a group and as a collective, we try to keep that going. the tournament that began with players taking the knee, ending in vile racist abuse aimed towards them. but even then room for hope. although there was a horrible reaction that night from too many people, but still a minority, i thought there was a brilliant counter reaction, where the majority of the fans and public were saying, "we're not having this. "we're with bukaya and marcus and jadon. "s

focused on ukraine, joe biden says, i don't accept any one's red line. russia's foreign minister southgate, la grove, says the nightmare scenario of military confrontation is returning. on this edition of the program, we examined the significance of both statements. russian president and indian prime minister wrap up top level talks and new delhi just to day before vladimir potent planned video conference with joe biden. from lynn spokesperson, who is in india, with president putin slams nato's aggressive stance on moscow. dmitri pascall spoke exclusively to our t movie. jim still notation. now we see that nato is taking hennick streaming aggressive position to receive mr. toll to luke's rhetoric. we see the different u. s. need is rhetoric. we do not feel like we will do everything to ensure auto with . that's the message from president biden. as western media goes into overdrive with allegations of an imminent.

today the england manager gareth southgate was asked what he'd say to players wondering whether to getotjust looking after ourselves, we are looking after other people and, actually, all of the restrictions and all of the devastation to health and the economy, down to the fact that we won't get clear unless the numbers are high. the league is a little bit complicated because we've got players who are fully vaccinated have also still caught the virus. so we know that is a complex situation for them, which games to play and which not. in the end, everybody has to pull together to get through something like this. tottenham are out of the europa conference league after uefa confirmed their postponed match against rennes earlier this month must be forfeited. the game was due to be played in london on december the 9th, but was called off after a covid—i9 outbreak in the tottenham squad. spurs say they're disappointed by the ruling of the uefa appeals body and its refusal to allow more time for the match to be rescheduled." rennes have been awarded a 3—nil win meaning spurs fail to qualify fo

the big thing for him and gareth southgate, he sees southgate as a mentor. that is key to it.up final and interviewing him pitch side, because he grew up in the shadow of wembley and that inspired him as a kid, and there were some schoolchildren who had been given tickets by his foundation to come to the game for the first time. you know how footballers can glaze over when you ask them questions. when he spoke about those next generation of fans being at wembley, watching somebody who had come from where they had come from, then play for his team and his country, he came to life, because that is so important to him. to make sure people see a pathway into the game. role models. footballers are often so removed and protected and packaged that you can't get close to them. historically they have been discouraged to speak out. they should — discouraged to speak out. they should concentrate on playing football. he is absolutely bucking that trend. he has faced a lot of stinging — that trend. he has faced a lot of stinging criticism in the past. you 'ust stinging criticism in the pas

battle initiated by journalist after his post were flagged as misleading taken us through all that southgate taylor turns out the famous fact checkers who are busy labeling things false. partly false, misleading. i've actually been a bit loose with, well, the facts. facebook yet again found itself in court. this time up against a john list. he didn't like the day slapped at partly full sticker on one of his post. so he sued for defamation. and because facebook where he spent millions of dollars on legal fees over the years, it got creative this time and claimed that front checkers don't decide what's false . so not based on fact, what ridiculous idea, but on their opinion. hence the title fact checker. and because opinion in america is sacred, you can't sue it. it's a very, very nifty loophole. but just to really escape any liability whatsoever. facebook double down on how it gives it fact checkers. a very long leash though matter, identifies potential misinformation, for fact checkers to review and rate it least the ultimate determination whether information is full so misleading to the fac

t. southgate taylor has the story. it's no secret that the black sea region has become something of a halt, spot in relations between the us and russia. the presence of american warships, as well as those of its nato allies, have in the policy been a cause of serious concern from moscow, which considers the area to be it's fair influence. but it seems to have crossed over from a concern and political games into very real physical danger. a nice thought is, according to the russian foreign ministry. on sunday, it released a statement warning that washington, a nato cannot put people's lives at risk without expecting some kind of consequence . so what triggered these was one on friday news came in that russian, that traffic control had been forced to change the course of 2 planes which were flying over the black sea. no one was making its way from tennessee to moscow. the other from the result, city of thought, she to move to macedonia for why that decision was taken when a power in the nato recognizance pain was flying

essentially an effort to cancel christian traditions and lacks common sense with commentary hears southgate, hello. it's not easy being the european commissioner for quality, because when the rest of your colleagues and brussels are figuring out how to stop the us from overheating, how to stop migrants from drowning it, see how to resuscitate the economy and how to mandate vaccinations without starting revolution you have to focus on the really serious issues. ah. with john? yes. the current commissioner, helen dalley, has been busy drawing up guidelines for inclusive communication, an operable goal? the thing is helena miss, right? the room? it's been a long 2 years since coven fast rocked up people. a tired christmas is woman cozy, and it already got stolen last year. moreover, europe is overwhelmingly christian. so when the document got leaks, that wasn't exactly. yeah. to have fans outside her door to film. but i think this document is absolutely offensive. everyone must be proud of their origins and traditions, but also of the religious faith. oh, there is a lot of hypocrisy distorting

reactors. india says it's down to technical false research. discuss a situation with our correspondent southgate. while europe's energy crisis might be a hot topic besides me, it does look like it's going to be a cold winter on the continent. because while gas prices have spike, the gas itself is running low and i'm talking dangerously record lows. in fact, your pink gas stores supplies haven't been this spot in a decade, on average, across the blog, or any 74 percent full. that's down from 94 percent last year, and germany in particular is on edge. since the coldest pulse of winter is still ahead, the relatively low gas results should be used carefully. if we keep withdrawing gas at the current rate, the level will be very low by february. so no buffer, no real resolved, that anyone can sort of depend 2 and these really tight times and things do seem to be going from bad to worse, because state owned an extra step to france or e t f announce that it will be shutting down 2 of its nuclear reactors because of safety reasons. some pipes are power and you need repairing on top of that and not the t
