Professional sport. The biggest t. V. Network in the philippines ordered to shut down after a lengthy dispute with the president to turn to. Montana how much now have all the sporting kidding the n. F. L. Canceled its games in london in mexico city for the coming season because of the local pandemic. So that one of the toughest coronavirus lockdowns in asia is to be easy even for the hong kong chief executive carol lam says that cinemas and bars can reopen later this week or secondary schools will return later this month and many people return to work on monday be no new domestic infections for 2 weeks now elsewhere though the u. K. Is still in the grip of the pandemic it has the highest number of deaths in europe and russia has reported more than 10000 new case. Its for the 3rd day in a row and this brings the number of confirmed cases to around 155000 and worldwide to more than a quarter of a 1000000 people have died you can see that figure that this is the Johns Hopkins corona virus tracker and it says there are more than 3 and a half 1000000 confirmed cases across the globe so lets begin in hong kong a katrina is live for us in beijing and katrina tell us more about the situations in hong kong is good news lot of relief then no doubt what else about carrie lambs measures. Thats right well the press conference was named the hope on the horizon press conference and it was aptly named because the government and kerry lamb said that they were very confident that hong kong had stabilized its corona Virus Outbreak enough to be able to ease some of those very strict measures that have been in place for weeks so starting from this friday groups of up to 8 people will be able to gather in public and theyll be able to eat together for example in restaurants previously that maximum group number was for also some key venue some key businesses will finally be able to reopen that includes jims cinemas and fears has some bars as well as beauty parlors and finally they also announce some opening dates for schools which many families have been looking forward to so starting from the 27 older High School Kids will be able to attend school but they wont be all at once Younger High School students as well as primary School Students will be able to resume classes from the beginning of june and now this follows weeks of corinna virus cases in hong kong dwindling in fact in the last 16 days there have been viewer new local infections the have been some imported cases but there have been very few Single Digits if any on some days and it also follows months of real real economic battering that hong kong has seen the b. Economy in hong kong declined in its 1st quarter this year by about 9 percent compared to last year so the government was very keen to get the economy going again but its not quite out of the woods yet the government said that the they are going to give every hong kong citizen the reusable mascot theyre expected to wear when theyre out and about and some businesses including night clubs karaoke clubs as well as saunas and bath houses will remain closed for at least another 2 weeks. All right katrina thanks very much indeed things moving on there in hong kong to you reporting. Well dozens of countries have pledged 8000000000 dollars into research for a Coronavirus Vaccine and treatment will go to join whole life in london shortly but 1st lets hear his report. Coronavirus isnt going away so the world must find ways to live with it better ways of testing for it more effective ways of treating it most importantly eventually a vaccine against it. The practice on many the goal is one to defeat this virus and e. U. Led virtual pledging conference aims to channel billions of dollars into the Global Response its not just about pouring money into research but also about pooling resources and expertise for the common good. Measure of science and. It will be. Now. Some. Why it may expose the u. S. Isnt involved and while china is offering to help there are concerns the worlds 2 top economies already a political loggerheads may engage in a vaccine war donald trump has already claimed a vaccine is just months away. Scientists point out that even if a vaccine is discovered in months itll be a lot longer than that before its up and available to the billions wholl need it which is why its so important to find drug treatments that work in the meantime both are central to the funds being pledged and both are at advanced stages of trialing and research here at the university of oxford professor Martin Landry is leading the Worlds LargestClinical Trial into coronavirus drug treatments a project called recovery hes hoping to find an existing drug or combination of drugs that works to save lives well before a vaccine becomes globally available i think your is probably too strong i dont think theyll be a single drug that suddenly wipes out a virus but i think effective treatments are in sight and theyre critical theyre critical because patients are dying today and tomorrow and the day after and even with the best will in the world were 18 months off having a scaled up vaccine at best we need treatments that deal with the problem of now. Only in europe and parts of asia are there real signs of an infection slowdown globally new cases of covert 1000. 00 are being reported at more or less the same rate as they were a month ago as a greatest for the developing world where social distancing isnt adequate and possible the greatest hope lies in a global effort against a global threat. Well we could talk to join a live right now hes there in london for a journey said these are the latest figures from the United Kingdom that demonstrate the urgent need in the search for treatment and ultimately a vaccine. Yes nic from the sort of rarefied architecture of oxford to the rather stocco surrounds of an n. H. S. Hospital here in north london its time for the weekly look at the office of National Statistics numbers put out every Tuesday Morning here in england and wales and as you say they paint a fairly unpretty picture of the state of the epidemic here in the u. K. And as you say the desperate need not just here but everywhere for all of that research to carry on and be successful into therapeutics and a vaccine these numbers in the in england and wales now revealing that this country has leapt ahead of italy to become for the time being at least these epidemics are progressing the worst affected country in europe now take you through the numbers. The office for National Statistics records deaths up to an 11 day lag period so up to april the 24th all deaths across the board and what theyre trying to what you were trying to do here is extrapolate from those numbers and work out the impact of coded 90 more broadly and to do that they look at socalled excess deaths thats deaths above the average for the time of year and up to april the 24th the 5 week period up to april the 24th the number theyve settled on is around 38000 when you include scotland and wales that figure goes up 242000 now this excess number is generally becoming accepted as a fairly reliable marker for the impact of covered 19 its not just deaths directly from the disease but related deaths as well people who have managed to get off people who havent wanted to go to hospital who havent been receiving the sort of care and treatment they normally do for whatever elements they may have if you break those numbers. And further and look just at the death toll related directly to covert 1000 will then you get a figure of 29648 in england and wales and scotland in Northern Ireland so that it pushes it beyond 30000 as a say leaping over italy putting the u. K. In 1st place currently in europe right grim figures indeed are generally there for the moment speeches a day goes on no doubt. In london lets move on to russia now we are reporting more than 10000 new cases there thats for the 3rd day in a row brings the number of confirmed cases to around 155000 real hot spot of coronavirus lets speak now to go up or in his head of the Doctors Defense League he joins us on skype from moscow those is the number of those infected in the fatalities how accurate do you think they are. Actually in this amount doesnt scholz their real situation because of like. Different groups of a palatial and in different places and dish out and we. The shells dish out and our results saw with current like you just made a decision how many me exactly how. Nice doesnt scholz ariel city do you think the numbers are the real numbers the reality is much higher figures. Oh i cant say exactly what i think. The amount is much bigger when we d get in this results because the disease started to a much earlier when we officially. Found this situation probably a several months goal so well have a lot of people who all has already passed all this situation and we dont have a leg a real and minor test condition which can show. You like and the results for people who are already in like. Give us an insight if you would into whats happening in russia in the fight against coronavirus how our Health Workers coping if there are enough equipment other enough doctors. Would get calls from. Doctors from difference each is from different parts of russia and everywhere we have a lot of problems there not a lot. Of hospitals there not a large enough. Doctor we dont have enough mites and we dont have enough equipment actually all these is a result of the reforms been. Performed in russia in the past 5. Years its called like optimizations. During your years theres been. Many hospitals like even in. Moscow that will last about one half of our hospitals and we dont have least for now if the situation being like 10 or 20 years ago it was it would be much easier to resolve this problem but for now like every step. A lot a lot of problems problems problems and we. Can i just i just want to. Promise is ok i just want to join the dozens were running out of time just want to ask about the supplies of medicine around the country and to what degree are patients waiting for beds are there enough. You know this like the problem is whole evolution is glowing and for the fire tune with coronavirus but we have a lot of people who like different diseases. Diseases and colleges and color to diseases and these people are losing now are must all the. Possibilities to find the hope and the hospitals like we dont have enough hospitals are told but for now they lost to work with us and least like turnbull situation because of the choice people if people need to die from infection disease or they need to die from any other problems and this country has all these anyway and what is the sense of feeling from the ordinary russian the man on the street as it were about how this has been handled. I can see will want to dig because people just ask him what we need to expect for a future and how long will look this situation because like they can the wage like a couple days but that falls amongst the current and this situation like we dont know how its going to be a result because its terrible for most people in russia. So. We appreciate your time joining us as the head of Doctors Defense League simeon capone joined us from moscow thank you. South korea is restarting its professional sports leagues as the corona virus infection rate slows down the government is allowing outdoor sport starting with a hugely popular Baseball League with friends cant attend well mcbride has more from the stadium incheon. This is the last practice session before the long awaited start of day one of south koreas face ball season a season that of course has been delayed by more than a month because of the coronavirus were here at this stadium in incheon thats the home of the s. K. Y. Vns thats in chungs local team who are taking on visitors hand eagles they are down on the diamond at the moment to having their practice session now it is a long awaited start this has been well over a month that weve waited for the baseball season to get underway and very strict precautions are in place to make sure that all the players are safe a certain amount of social distancing is practiced they are not allowed to do high fives and shake hands also notably for Baseball Players theyre not allowed to lick their fingers thats are tricky for the pitchers and also nobody is allowed to spit most notably of all no spectators are being allowed in place of spectators what we have on some parts of the stands are simply painted cutouts of spectators all of them bedient lee and very correctly Wearing Masks but no spectators themselves are allowed in instead people are allowed to see this now thats the important part of this game and the start of the korean season they are supplying a worldwide demand at the moment for live sport south korea is one of the top 3 baseball playing nations in the world of course the United States and japan are ahead of them but in south korea they are the 1st to get their baseball season underway so all of the matches that are being played by the 10 major teams in the Korean Baseball Organization are being staged streamed through the likes of e. S. P. N. To a worldwide audience so that they can get their fix of life baseball when the spectators can come back if that is still. An open question here they are hoping possibly within the next one to 2 weeks to start introducing spectators back into the stands here but even when they do it will be a long time before we have packed stands here they will only be in reduced numbers with empty seats between them or lets take this on we can speak to Daniel Parnell whos a senior lecturer in sport business at the university of liverpool u. K. He joins us on skype from liverpool and mr parnell no doubt sports fans will be ecstatic about this signal of the return of some kind of normality somewhere in the world but were still a long way off from the wholesale returns for its a huge achievement and it gives. Sports Ministry Sports administrators and sports fans all around the world its a b. Do you wonder when competitions on a bigger scale you know that for example the u. K. Premier league will be coming back is there any signal that theyre thinking about a return anytime soon i think when you look at. When you need to look at your shop to. Employ a nations coolants just south korea has shown the right way its tested traced and treated coronavirus well the governments are tough different approaches on schools will ultimately make their decisions based on how the governments response to the 5 or so of the minutes and within that you can say for example that probably a car waits on the governments decision on when it is the right time. Thing is how do you practically go about it and if you take the premier league as an example as and when the government deems its the right time how do you protect 1st of all the players from themselves. Yeah i think 1st and foremost its about making sure the place her family being is kept at the front line essential alongside and its tough because footballs from the media piece of the arts up through to the officials through to everyone treats women women caught in the chain of facilities in a place physical preparation right its it is one thing then in terms of and good in football itself a number shot to do you need to be employed and i want some of the key things to reduce risk will be around reckless festen around in peoples contact between and between the events on and provide. That when people are tested positive given at least 14 days and isolation before they would stand so this is going to have serious consequences the good thing. Oh i think weve lost go to Daniel Parnell the weve just cut up but well move on and hopefully get him back a little bit later. I think he is the still the will try him again dont appoint a community yes im here yeah because he just cut out that its the rather messy of sky part way. So the players he plays is one thing but then what about fans because you clearly fans will be kept away from the events themselves but says nothing to stop them gathering outside stadiums. Yeah i think not as one of narrative and media are talking about so much fun to cover out sites in which weve seen a few small pox and that was at the very end stages of people weve seen our crush a different parts of our people are taking it she wished weve seen a lot of people across the Community Start respondent on sticking by a guideline and so on what marks that will fund and sports fans to congregate outside the state yet if this is something i think is a little bit of a meth it wont happen people are reasonable people are sensible and they want to protect this selves and their communities as well as theyre there for. The those were speaking were looking at pictures of fans that matches and the celebrating success of their teams we just know how much passion there is in sport how important sport is to people but sporting events without fans its going to be a very different experience than say the least and that in fact you could argue thats not really sport without the fads. Yes one of the big things weve always said event for war is i thought all of our funds it is not for now the interesting thing is that i thought all of our funds now is going to be conned a new normal and so we get a vaccine and we might see small groups be allowed into the stadium in the future but ultimately we are able to operate without funds not only as an owner and impact on the atmosphere within the stadium and for the players and but some players will will evaporate in that environment before the law is a lot of have an impact for those that could suman and watching a game on it advice or in the television so we may see strategies employed by Media Companies to play an a manufactured sound of funds within a stadium to try and keep it is really actual on the television but within a stadium guest is going to be a definite voyeur taxes definitely lost an intention of creating the right atmosphere for higher performance for the place well itll be fascinating to see how it all pans out but promising signals from south korea anyway dr Daniel Parnell from the university of all thank you. Definitely more ahead on the news hour including china is accused of discriminating against africans as part of its coronavirus prevention measures. And off the fleeing violence half a 1000000 vulnerable refugees in kenya now face another battle. And this disgrace a swimming champion is fighting back on to explain how and school.

Is being used to launch airstrikes on Government Forces they recently seize control of major cities along the western coastline and rejected have to school for a ceasefire during the holy month of ramadan lets go live now to our correspondent up the wall had hes in tripoli and mahmoud whats happening now at the airbase. Well nic you were getting reports from our military sources. In and around. Saying that the forces loyal to the tripoli be used. The government of National Board have recaptured the measure parts of. A base as you know that the best battle for a has been prepared for by the Government Forces over the past few weeks of by air strikes from the Government Drawings targeting have the forces and locations it in and around. The Government Forces say that they have pushed have to us forces back to the southern parts of the say that government the Government Military sources say that half those forces are now besieged in a small part. Namely buildings in and the southern part of a would. Be exchanging it heavy fire with the Government Forces the Government Forces say that theyre there take over of a whats your. Will mosul probably be swift because there is this tense of have those forces is decreasing dramatically inside that the base as you know nic that the force they have to his forces inside the base is had cannot see any supply now after the Government Draw and have managed to cut all the supply lines coming get to have those forces from the southern and southern and eastern parts of. The attack on a came from 2 different axes from the north and also from the west which is close to the tunisian border margaret thanks very much indeed for the target support from tripoli a broad. Tell you what well move on to the weather not jenny is here and theres been flooding in parts of europe yeah the house we needed the rain of course not for several weeks but of course you get too much sun you know one go and so thats exactly what has happened across parts of your you can see also translate means the west the last few hours but its being further to the east and in particular its actually care in ukraine just look at this now they have not been any particularly big amounts recorded but even so theres been some strong thunderstorms and says quite likely that in a powerful storm a lot of rain came down in a very short space of time so for the next few days theres more rain in the forecast as well tom it is a little bit below the average but really by the end of the week the start of the weekend it should begin to dry up as i say that many places of course do actually want the rain so theres plenty of rain through tuesday across much of Eastern Europe theres another band of it pushing in so its all southwest u. K. Across france and pushing down eventually into Northern Areas of italy but whilst all of this is going on a very different story across parts of spain and portugal but spain in particular this shows you the forecast to choose a bit with it the temperatures overlays the way youve got these warm colors is where the temperatures are higher in generally that about 5 to 7 degrees above the average however suntanned out in the north about 18 degrees today but my goodness what a departure from monday 35. 3 degrees celsius thats against an average of 19 degrees why has it been so warm when it wasnt just that many areas to the north and this is why because of the fern wind which is the warm dry winnick it comes down the leeward side of the mountains it is very warm very dry very gusty and it just literally raises the temperatures like that to over 35 degrees or 30 they were much later still ahead here on aljazeera the research by scientists to sniff out the symptoms of crowbars.

Death toll from crown of ours is now the highest in europe thats according to newly released data from the office for National Statistics and it shows that the number of fatalities reached 38002 weeks ago for more on that were joined by i think he now comes at us shes a researcher in long time caste systems at the London School of economics joins us on skype from country in the u. K. Thanks for joining us youve been following the numbers in the u. K. Very closely to what degree do you think we can take them at face value. I think that these figures are giving as a with a view of the scale of the if we are still of a concerned whether wayward correctly getting numbers on the people who die of coroner vytas order in relation to crown of light as in cat homes so it were still trying to look at david mark at 18 and a date but we know that the numbers that he were jim know that this has been a huge problem so what would give us a better guide as to the actual numbers and with the actual number be a great deal hard to think. I think we really need to have data on excess mortality both in copulation and get homes at the moment we have something as an excess more that in the population but we still dont know how much of this happened in care homes that date is unfortunately not yet easily available then stand and i think we still need to get a bit more detail to understand whats going on right now as if i guess if your intention was that and were giving it a better picture of that sometimes as youre alluding to and its your research that attracted the spotlight why how was the big European Countries got it so wrong. I think a lot of them are those that were used or. Thought to money there were that happen with a disease that are based on population in the community and they were based on for example transmission rates waiting to community for People Living each in their own house call but when you have People Living in communal settings like homes and youre also have the fact that these people are there once were addressed. Of the most severe impact of coby 1000 in terms of mortality thats because of the age of people who live in catacombs annals of because theyre more likely to have that Underlying Health conditions thats probably why they are in a get home in the 1st place we dont really have very good models i think in any county that the county for these population but there were exceptions in the companies that had experienced size and mess we found that can get homes in this country seems to be a lot lower and this congress have more generally been much better able to respond to the east and then rick its interesting study in the data as they work we draw from these figures that if you take the u. K. Now or its the highest in europe its a grim statistic can we learn from the figures and from how you crunch the data as to why the viruses and spiraled improved so devastating in the u. K. As opposed to other countries. I think that the we havent had experience of these type of conditions before and i think almost all our models in the u. K. Were based on influenza and is as a very different disease any transmit in different ways we were relying a lot on symptomatic transmission we were relying on that then to find people who had symptoms and asking them to isolate but we really took quite long to take account of the fact that people can transmit the disease before theyre symptomatic or without human beings it might be potentially and i think its taken quite a while for a jest of that. Fascinating talking to very important area of all this thanks very much indeed for your time at least one of the other. Thank you.

Thanks very much indeed for that update from germany in a. Kenya shelters nearly half a 1000000 refugees from they re smaller in south sudan they live in crowded comes at risk a very cruel Virus Outbreak with little or no access to Health Care Welcome with reports no from the room. I mean thats why i think you know hometown. Years old. Her parents brought her here to capcom a refugee camp in northern kenya its been a home ever since over 2 decades its become a city of shacks home to nearly 200000 people trips to the water pump of the market are essential to the way people get food to eat. Shes worried about the spread of the corona virus in a company. Where we fetch water we have to queue and social distancing is practically impossible that scares me. And is among nearly hoffa 1000000 refugees in kenya many escaped the conflicts in neighboring somalia and 1000 on most living camps like. So far no cases of the virus have been identified here. Refugee rights activists say cramped conditions and the lack of health care could be a recipe for disaster unfortunately it means possible devastation people who are infected will not be able to be isolated people who. Will be a lot of transmission the spread fast and the response with this. Uns Refugee Agency released this video showing measures that have been taken to prevent the spread of the virus during food distributions he says its added extra water points for washing hands but that doesnt change many of the realities inside and outside the camp protecting refugees from cruel myers is not only about protecting refugees or about protecting Host Communities really its about protecting all of us and everyone is not protected in the truth of this are. People in kenya and other parts of africa waiting to see when the coronavirus will spread as much as it has in asia europe and the Us Health Experts say could be disastrous.

Chinas government is continuing to deny discriminating against African Students who are studying that Human Rights Watch says some were affected from their accommodation forcibly tested for the virus and quarantine in the Southern City of quines a government leaders in beijing reject the accusations accusing the United States of trying to harm relations with african nations q weighing is the China Research at Human Rights Watch and she says that africans in china of long experience racial discrimination. A lot of africans i spoke in one show they told me that they have already they had already been tested a negative high ever they were still taken to the hot hotels to be or indeed and during the course they were tested at negative again after they were released after 14 days and they again got caught up to get tested and so there was no reason this is a completely discriminatory and the racist Research Shows that. There are many documented and the government i think is trying to use discovery in 1000 as a way to you know check a war on documenting as a way to try to get them to out of china basically 2 things one is to force to quarantine and force the testing i think this is concentrated in one show and this is done by the government and theres another issue which is a lot of africans experience discrimination. I dont want daily basis and i could be in turn away by restaurants to turn away by hotels shops mosques i think this is widespread it is not just in business you know across the country that people have racist attitude and racist behavior towards africans in china. To iran which continues to be the coronavirus hotspot of the middle east but is joining global efforts to fight covert 1000. 00 scientists are working on developing testing kits that could be ready for export within months it comes as there are growing signs of recovery in iran with daily death falling to the lowest level in weeks so as this report. In laboratories like this all over the world scientists are trying to answer the same questions how can covert 1000 be stopped is there a cure when will this Global Crisis be over at the Pasteur Institute into iranian experts are working with chinese colleagues to try and improve testing for the virus something that has been a challenge since the early days of the outbreak so im coming here for just to have a 10 to. Condense on training on how to use the test because you would seem all right dots here but it has to be could you please stop im sorry our interview with the visiting expert was cut short by security i mean i mean you know the government here has been criticized for responding too slowly to the pandemic and it seems officials and remain sensitive about anything related to its coronavirus response. Set up in 1920 the campus into herat is named for french scientist Louis Pasteur a 19th century pioneer of modern medicine this institute runs dozens of labs and employs hundreds of staff across the country the government Hopes Research and development here will enable iran to export diagnostic kits and medical equipment this facility is nearly 100 years old and one of the largest of its kind in the middle east for years scientists in these kinds of labs have been fighting all manner of diseases Infectious Diseases and now their priority the inescapable priority for these men and women is to try to find a way to fight over the 19 why is the virus more severe in some patients does it mutate and can survivors develop immunity. Answers to these questions and the discovery of a vaccine in a place named after a pioneer in the field would be an Outstanding Achievement and the head of the institute made it clear that is the ambition that. We are working on producing the Technical Knowledge for a vaccine and focusing on medicine and treatment to see which medicine could be a good candidate for curing the disease but on the day of our visit irans president was more guarded in an address to his cabinet house and rouhani was clear there have been no breakthroughs social distancing is the best policy and everyones in this for the long haul. Than know about face on the assumption that the us i mean unfortunately remain these people for some time and nobody in the world can predict when this epidemic and days or months you have to have the house protocols of continuing Work Production and activities. Comes to corona people have to be general there is no treatment no medication or vaccine for it so fundamental thing is to be careful about ourselves while finding a cure is the end goal testing is also important last month the revolutionary guards unveiled a handheld device they said was capable of detecting an infected person from 100 meters away but its effectiveness was criticized and Irans Health Ministry did not approve it for use with no easy fixes scientists carry on with their research how to end the pandemic remains an open question and they intend to find the answer.

A fever can be easily detected with a some momentary or thermal graphic camera but not the loss a smell which is highly subjective. Now the school of engineering and center of aroma and tasted chiles Catholic University have developed an objective test to measure it. The kid consists of 6 extremely familiar aromas a person is asked identifies 3 you can fail the test and not be infected but you cant pass if you are says professor and then you can isolate the person that shows some of the. Fact that hes from. Corroborate this person hasnt the. Night. We went to try it out so ive always prided myself on having a good sense of smell but now were going to see. In the last current so i passed the test and thank god and the amazing thing about this is that its not only very very quick its extremely inexpensive about 0. 30 per test which means that its a very viable alternative in countries that cant afford widespread testing with the with the classic covert 19 examinations. A Pilot Program is starting this week but already there is widespread interest in using the kids in areas where theres a high probability of infections but if theyre going to get in industries that can start for example like Food Production in mines or hospitals they can tease them frequently and if they dont pass seen them to take the traditional tests to confirm indeed just like having a High Temperature does not mean that you have cold it 19 losing a sense of smell isnt proof of infection but the smell test does provide a new Early Warning system to help detect those who are spreading the disease without even knowing it.

Fascinating possibilities still ahead here on aljazeera in school some of the biggest names in gold teamed up to raise money for Coronavirus Relief efforts more details in just a myth. Goulding war. Time to support his son. While the schedule for this years n. F. L. Season has been rocked by the coronavirus the league has decided to call off its International Games in the u. K. And mexico 5 fixtures that have been brought back to the United States 4 of the matches were set up for london to eat at wembley in Tottenham Hotspur stadium respectively for the u. K. Capital that has been staged in the regular season matches the every year since the 2007 the other showdown was occurring and to happen in mexico city which has hosted its really games since 2016 a new n. F. L. Season is scheduled to kick off a september the 10th. Plus talk about this joining us now from the u. K. Is carson. First of all how disappointing is this news for the n. F. L. In the u. K. Oh its hugely disappointing not just for the people who go to the games and 260000 more last year at the stadiums but because each time we see thats 4 times in 4 weeks it becomes a sort of National Story and you get to see players at practice you know we go out with their daily practice is the games are played in the afternoon in britain so that you get that the same as you would the regular game were as everything on television of the states in the evening so really are big bands all around and it wont just be the people with tickets to support. Ok did the n. F. L. Have any other choice but to cancel these games i think it was always in the cards of these games would be canceled right now the n. F. L. Wants to go ahead with a wobble season but if you go to other countries you cant you cant be sure that the provisions you take would be best equipped to keep new season going will apply in those other countries you dont know where the virus will be what the rules will be and i think the risk we added risk taking 2 teams plus all the exhilaration supplementary people which means you know a few 100 people putting them in airplanes taking them a cross to britain was probably too much for them to be willing to risk and you think these games will continue abroad once the pandemic is over. I really do with my new mate theyve been both profitable and well mexico game gets around 100000 people of mexico city but there are also ways of spreading the n. F. L. s brand around the world and they get a lot of attention and it really shows in one sense what a progressive we are in terms of marketing in terms of spreading playing regular season games you know the venues which few sporting weeds are willing to do and certainly not outside the United States than what i know of so i think the question will be how well were able to. Have the regular season in america go right now were planning on running a normal season starting september 10th but who knows what the situation will be buying them a sure contingency plans drawn to try to minimize the risk to players whether or not spectators will be at the stadiums remains to be seeing yes put broadcasts on Michael Carson thank you very much.
