He says there are no signs of a country reducing its investments in football at home or abroad. I dont think that there was any.

Directions of the of the center and of course each one is trying to point focus of book promotion within the times political system and if this is seen as any. I mean is to rally the people and also giving people a icon of that aspirations and its also part seen part of chinas National Strategy and actually theyre all going for it but you know terms of chinas overall coffers the money at them the kind of money even those sounds you know to ordinary people they are relatively small by comparison with chinas total economy and total financial.

Little bit confidence and calmness to play and to be more comfortable to start the game an instant replace or a player in the Belgian League falling foul of footballs new technology initially Sebastian Parker nearly of standardly age was awarded a penalty video assisting referees that have come into the league this season after a quick consultation on field referee first his decision and sent the player off the dock.

It doesnt seem really know of their pick to this moment for the past nine or thirty four years ive slept on it now i think of myself well one day i hope i hope i can win a major title and. To be honest i dont think it will happen here ok that is a sports looking for now more later there was a dandy earlier this month an asteroid the size of a house passed close to earth that would have been devastating if it had slammed into our planet with thousands of jets passing through space scientists are working on ways to push dangerous rocks away jake award reports from San Francisco. Space is not empty its full of objects most of the ones that smack into earth are tiny and they burn up in our atmosphere but even small asteroids that get through have had devastating effects you may remember there was an impact over siberia three or four years ago that was caused by something that was only twenty meters in size or so in fact a private foundation is begin raising money to build a satellite the sentinel that can track smaller so called city killer asteroids these hit the earth about every hundred to two hundred years. So flip a coin thats the odds that somewhere on earth during your lifetime its going to happen again nasa even has a department called Planetary Defense no really thats its name and the agency tracks asteroids larger than a kilometer across those big enough to end human civilization now the agency has greenlit the next phase of the dart project which will try to push a nearby asteroid called did it most be off course the asteroid they were talking about is about the same size as the ship you see behind me just shy of two hundred meters long and i am roughly the same size as the projectile theyre going to smack into it now in this context that seems ridiculous right i mean for me to just kick as hard as i can is going to have no effect at all on this ship but in the vast openness of space and the slippery in this of a vacuum smacking me into that at Something Like three times the speed of a bullet well you get the effect you want basically it would be using a spacecraft to ram the incoming object and change its orbit so it would not hit. So its this would be kind of a dress rehearsal for a first show we hope never to stage the test will take place in twenty twenty two heres hoping we wont need to knock anything off course in the mean time take aboard aljazeera San Francisco ill see in the next.
