Hello we begin this news hour with the fighting between armenia and azerbaijan and there are claims the latest attempt to end the violence is faltering just hours after it began and both sides are accusing each other of violating a 2nd russian mediated ceasefire in this space. Of a week it was established a day after the as a reset 13 people were killed in a missile attack that happened in the city of ganja so more than 700 people are estimated to have died so far in the fighting in the disputed region of nagornokarabakh. Well the remote mountainous area is officially part of as a beige on but its been controlled by Ethnic Armenians since the end of a 6 year war in 1994 Bernard Smith whos joining us from armenias capital on but 1st will bring in what ive been having shes joining us from ganja in beijing whats being said over there about the humanitarian ceasefire of adult. Well theres not much belief in that humanitarian ceasefire was in the hospital a short while ago where you had still do did of the attack on saturday which killed 13 people and then i asked the people there where do you think this ceasefire is something good and most of them said we dont believe that there will be a cease fire over the sea from their point of view pointing their finger idea minion saying that you know they they are following the news and they have heard at the statements coming out from the ministry of defense here a coup saying that they had been several violations from the armenian side according to the ministry of defense the armenians trying to get back into food and your brain which i choose a region southwest of nagornokarabakh south east of nagornokarabakh that the as you always claim basically under their control now and now we are hearing also some news of the sit still also to minister of defense of some shelling going on further north in the region of buck so certainly people are following that they say that they have been the victims of an attack that happened during a supposed cease fire that was a 1st ceasefire that was also brokered by russia a little more than a week ago so they dont believe that this one will actually hold ok who does thank you for that update lets bring in Bernard Smith whos joining us from armenias capital year to discuss whether people there a believe the ceasefire is going to hold and how much pressure the leadership is under bernard for the cease fire to actually work. There isnt a lot of optimism the ceasefire will hold because there is a lot of pressure on the Political Leadership here in armenia. Because of the lawsuit in the casualties that they are suffering now 675. 00 dead armenian fighters thats the latest figures from the defense ministry. Losing territory to azerbaijan armenia is losing territory that it is controlled since the end of the war in 1994 that is territory between the going to care about. But armenia says it needs as a buffer zone a security zone between the years areas and those living in karabakh though that area supposed to been talked about in the last 26 years over talks overseen by moscow paris and washington d. C. But nothings happened i mean its very say theyve had enough and that is why with turkish support of trying to take this part of this militarily and they are succeeding in doing so are also says today that with this cease fire try to reach an agreement with the areas and the red cross to arrange for the handing over of Wounded Soldiers armenia says that even this. Areas have rejected this prospect of this option we havent heard any response from these areas yet all. Right thank you for that update from the air of on. The lets discuss all of this with. Me on whos the International CrisisGroup Senior Analyst for the south caucasus region is joining us from its beliefs and thanks very much for your time on aljazeera on the issue of the the violations of the cease fire clearly our reporters are saying that this is faltering are you surprised by this. Im afraid that im not that accusation some claim so that we see the something that we have been observing seeing the beginning always work for free and we there was there has been an extreme need corys humanitarian assistance fire situation on the ground continues to deteriorate we see. Escalating conflict and the for the size do not make an attempt to take care obvious humanitarian needs only those who are. Inside the conflict zone or who continue to suffer problems fighting i am afraid that we as a coalition is going to continue escalating what is it that we look at the role of russia who is brokered not only the cease fire but the 1st one which was also earlier this week what does russia do next or what does it have to do differently. We are left in the situation when there is no ice on the ground i mean international or the someone who can. Give us an ill turn a different from ation rather than conflict and reports that we received from both sides and the u. N. Security council is going to have a closed door meeting on monday and one of the issues that they are going to discuss is 1st the problem for the humanitarian situation on the ground and the need for to access or the humanitarian support to those who are currently inside the box which is really very important the 2nd also that you show very few cation the Russian Foreign minister all are decided that they are discussing and they are looking into different options there are some agreements that are mean and they said by john assigning 2 they agreed with them so several years ago it is very time to implement them so that we actually have a Presence International presence on the ground and different issues which is really very important is the crimes that we are seeing all these attacks at the c. B. D. And areas and their reports all the torture and also killing called the prison there is a war and we started to think that continue to escalate with fighting and its very there are no independent ice on the ground we fortunately will be left all the possible option which is an escalating then continuous war all right so we thank you alessio of our attorney on for speaking to us thanks very much. Youre the news hour on aljazeera heres whats coming up. We win wisconsin we win the whole ballgame so. Time goes out swinging in the battleground states to revive his u. S. President ial campaign a tense election in geneva after months of unrest and accusations of 8 speech. Ill tell you why in Manchester City star could be in trouble for touching a lines when im not stories coming up with peter in sports. But 1st well take you over to thailand because protesters there are gathering in the capital bangkok for a 5th day take a look at the live picture thousands of people have been rallying in defiance of a government ban doesnt have been arrested and theyre calling for the Prime Minister to stand down the monarchy to be reformed and a new constitution for lease war and theyll respond to any acts of violence tony chang is a reporter in bangkok lets speak to him so tony people obviously coming out to protest despite the ban on the under the emergency decree what are the protesters have planned for today. They come out again for the 5th day you know. With considerable obstacles and a lot of central bangkok was shut down the public transport but instead of. Doing what theyve done in the last couple days they split again into 2 different sides 2 sites that have been blocked off by the Police Yesterday they come in theyve occupied theyve been here for about an hour now. Thousands of people its interesting. As opposed to the protests we saw earlier in the week that does seem to be a little less diversity and because a lot of the leaders whove been arrested they dont seem to have. The same focus but they are still very determined and theyre still coming in very large numbers nothing thats a real concern to the author it is yesterday we didnt see had too much Police Efforts cranked down we know there are police around here today they seem to be fairly standoffish at the moment but i think the fact that so many people are still coming on is raining quite heavily now and conditions are very favorable braving these extra security measures the good theyve been threatened with by the Police Arrest and all sorts of other fines i think thats a real concern for the government and they dont seem to be going away anytime soon yes so not to sort of get into speculation here tony but how do we expect the police to react. Well the they had a press conference earlier today and they made the point again that anyone attending these protests was breaking the laws under these new emergency conditions like gatherings of 5 are illegal again i think you can see behind me that no ones paying very much attention to that they also stress. Anyone proliferating or sharing fake news and again thats very widely interpreted here in thailand could be liable for jail terms or heavy fines and theyve also introduced an we called a selfie law where those taking a selfie protests like this and posting pictures on social media can be liable for up to 2 years in prison or a fine of one of the 1000. 00 well if the intention of that is to scare people away it doesnt seem to be working so far. All right tony thank you well speak to later tony chang reporting from bangkok. A car bomb has killed at least 12 people in central afghanistan and dozens were injured in the city of pharaohs car thats the capital of gore province no one has claimed responsibility and 8 Afghan Security officials were killed in a Taliban Attack in Kunduz Province where the taliban says recent violence in afghanistan while the real talks with the governments been javid has been monitoring developments in qatar. Tens of thousands of afghans have been displaced in the last few weeks as fighting has intensified between the Afghan Government and that part of the taliban insisting that it is trying to retake areas that it had vacated for the Afghan People and saying that it has been launching defenses offensives only against those areas where checkpoints have been established where reinforcements have been sent and where it has come under attack by the by night creeds or air strikes on the other hand the Afghan Government says that it is the taliban who have been launching an offensive and it is it shown by the United States efforts to try and stop them with strikes as ben earlier we spoke to the spokesman of the Afghan Taliban who says that this will not derail the Peace Process as the violence and talks can continue side by side but for lasting peace in afghanistan both sides will have to show unflinching commitment. Refused to say there is no progress there but there are problems and disagreements on key issues as you know there are still meetings between the committees and we hope at the end they will reach a solution lets keep this in consideration this is a major step and it is expected to be a difficult process just happens all over the world when there are negotiations starting a dollop is never easy there is some progress and then there may be some slowdown and in many cases talks come to a halt this issues are quite normal and we hope that the disagreements we have on the key issues will be sold very soon god willing talks have continued between not just the taliban and the Afghan Government but interlocutors of peace with the taliban as well as the u. S. Government weve seen that the u. S. Lead diplomat trying to mediate between the Afghan Government and the taliban saying that all sides are going to try and make sure that there is a reset of the violence all elements of the agreement which was reached reached with the taliban are going to be implemented and all sides should reduce the violence there has been reassurances by the taliban as well as the Afghan Government that they are going to scale down attacks to try and protect civilian lives. A delegation of International Criminal court is meeting officials in sudan to discuss the arrest warrant for bashir the former president has been imprisoned in khartoum since he was toppled off protests in april last year the i. C. C. Has accused him of work crimes genocide and crimes against humanity for. Voting is under way for the president ial runoff in the self declared republic of Northern Cyprus the turkey backed Prime Minister earth. His ballots in nicosia on sunday morning hes running against the incumbent president was tough i can cheat who favors reunification with the south cyprus has been divided since the 1970 s. A u. N. Arms embargo on iran has expired after 13 years it was listed as part of the 2050 nuclear deal with world powers the us withdrew from the pact in 2018 and its voice strong opposition to any easing of sanctions Iranian Foreign minister and adds every of wealth on the developments calling it a win for Regional Peace and security for the u. S. Says been trying to reimpose that ban on iran since august but failed to convince other countries including members of the Un Security Council our diplomatic editor james bays has more from the un. The arms embargo against iran was 1st put in place in 2007 the decision to lift it this year came back in 2015 as part of the Iran Nuclear Deal in return for rum giving up its Nuclear Weapons capability one of the things iran goals was a lifting of the arms embargo the ability to sell and buy weapons now the u. S. Didnt like that idea at all the trumpet administration which pulled out of the iran deal and thats why the trumpet ministration trying to trigger something called snap back in fact they claim that they did trigger it in september that was a clause in the Iran Nuclear Deal that said that any one of the participants could force all International Sanctions to snap back in place the problem for the trumpet ministration is the rest of the International Community and the vast majority of the Security Council say snap back has not taken place i can tell you diplomats here tell me that the lifting of the arms embargo they think will not have a great deal of a fact they dont think iran has much money its economy is bad to buy and many weapons anyway they say theyre much more important date coming up is the 3rd of the u. S. Election day joe biden if hes president says hell come back into some sort of a. Iran nuclear deal President Trump though has made it clear he doesnt want to deal and the future if there is a President Trump for a 2nd term is much more uncertain. So that is the view from the u. N. Lets not cross over to iran to speak to hassan my dionne hes a professor of middle east studies at the university off to her on thanks very much for your time what will be the impacts of the lifting of this arms embargo on iran and the government of iran. Of course the tears a lot to do with us maximum pressure acute pain iranians see it as a victory over the u. S. Approach to extend the arms embargo. Physically i dont think that my church is going to change it when he ends usually make their own weapons produce much of what they need in their defense doctrine so they want to rush into buying that much weapons but i think they will do that as well to showcase their failure of the u. S. Insistence that the snapback has been introduced and its enough. But i think the United States is more worried about you grant exporting much of its mystic aided weapons including you know the high tech and air Defense Systems but one that for instance brought down the u. S. Global heart the high tech you know draw will be when the end Drone Technology which is a leading one in the world so exporting gives iran a not there a way you know standing up to the u. S. Sanctions that have been hurting the country ever since a level of how likely is that because i mean the e. U. European countries had said that their conventional arms exports and Missile Technology will remain in force until 2023 there are 4 there referring of course that the e. U. Embargoes on iran. Of course thats the e. U. Im in the countries that want to sell or buy weapons to and prompt iran they have to choose if they want to do that or not but iran certainly would have meant way more options than simply the e. U. Countries that you. Go on iran will be lifted in 3 years or may be extended its an internal you know decision by the e. U. Countries but its not a global un sanctions against iran so its not when you say iran not affecting absence what options are you talking about here who well there are many countries in the International Community that might be eyeing buying iranian weapons or iranian Defense Systems the defense interest you iran has been booming for a decade now and i think its one of irans you know most advanced industries nowadays so many countries might be willing to buy you when youre in arms but as i said iran also might you know buying some for instance fighter jets irans air defense that you know is inferior to pretty much much of most of its neighbors with the exception of afghanistan maybe in iraq so it might be it might go for buying some fighter jets from russia but i dont think that of buying weapons is that much you know preoccupy and iranian operations in our day but let me ask you this i mean when you say that apologies but when you say that the industry is booming what exactly are you basing that on because. This lifting of the arms embargo is considered a diplomatic victory by iran about the fact of the matter is the u. S. Sanctions are still in place on iran and u. S. Officials continue to go ahead with their maximum Pressure Campaign which is having an effect on iran economically when now thats a unilateral sanctions by the United States is not is its not a new and. Mr hudson. Yes so many countries might not abide by the e. U. By us the sanctions the union are all sanctions they might go for you know against it as they did purchasing iranian oil for instance or you running gas many of the countries so it might be not it might not be popular but i think its another door for the money and stew circumvent u. S. Sanctions on iran and get hard currency that they are in dire need ok mr husain as my gian we lost you there for a 2nd but thank you very much for giving us your thoughts on aljazeera. Now the u. S. President donald trump has tried to reenergize his campaign with rallies and to swing states trailing in Many National polls with more than 2 weeks to go until the election he made 3 stops in michigan and wisconsin while his democratic challenger joe biden took the day off 1st 100. Donald trump play defense returning to 2 battleground states he won by a whisker in 2016 truck took his campaign to wisconsin and to michigan where he criticized the states democratic governor 13 militia members were arrested just over a week ago in an alleged plot to kidnap or youve got to get your governor to open up your stay it was up and jet ski. Get us closer to go to school also have to be all right iggy that prompted a now familiar chance. To get well as the president laid into michigans governor he was skirting the strict limits on crowd size as the she had set by calling his rally a peaceful protest with few masks and little social distancing among his supporters. Drops democratic rival joe biden pursued a cautious make no mistakes approach taking a break from the campaign trail on saturday instead he tweeted viral videos like this one i lose minnesota im never coming back teasing trump for threatening in state after state never to return if he loses the election would make us have to leave the country in posting the video biden writes promise bidens running mate comolli harris spent the weekend quarantining after members of her staff tested positive for corona virus her office says she tested negative more than 26000000 americans have already cast their ballots still in washington thousands gathered on saturday for the womens march urging women to vote on the issues that affect them it is not hyperbole to say that everything is on the line this november. We cannot afford 4 more years of this administration attacking our access to Reproductive Health care and rights with just over 2 weeks to go in the campaign trail fans at the rally in michigan taunted his critics for chanting 12 more years an amount that would violate the u. S. Constitution john hendren 0 washing. Thousands and sure they are set to mark one year since the beginning of a protest movement calling for a social change demonstrators demanded a new constitution and a more equal society are latin america itself and c. N. N. Reports from santiago on the continuing posts for progress. A small 30 pisot increase in the mid 2030 was the detonator of a social explosion last year that has rocked latin americas new stable democracy ever since. The 24 year old will soon be given a media us was one of the students that rushed this entangle metro station last october 18th in the lawn as the saying goes it was in the 30 pesos with the 30 years of on field. Thomas clearly there was a before and after october 18th chile has never been the same the rules of the game have been totally modified in what way wasnt really in the sense as citizens of empowered and took over public spaces to demand their rights that had never happened thats why its been a citizens revolution. The initial revolt was followed by riots and looting small but violent radical groups destroyed millions of dollars worth of property mainly Peaceful Demonstrations lasted until march when the pandemic began despite widespread human rights abuses on the part of Security Forces. But most of all the social explosion as its called here unmasked a deep rooted discontent and anger over social inequality privilege and exclusion and it was supposed to be a latin american oasis this girl is one of many that illustrates what was a major disruption in telly and society that is still unfolding and it has the potential to significantly alter this countrys social economic and political model. As a result of the uprising the political establishment agreed to a key demand a new constitution that will presumably guarantee basic social rights like Education Health and decent pensions my feeling is that the process opened. As a result of political elites trying to empathize and connect with the more. What we still dont know if if that connection is well be able to channel back into the institutional real. Next sunday chile will hold a referendum that is widely expected to approve the rewriting of the constitution. But with the countrys Democratic Institutions so discredited for so many people theres no guarantee that the genie can be put back in the bottle. You see in human aljazeera some p. R. Will.

Good mans are heading to the polls in a tense election that follows months of unrest nearly 5000000 eligible voters are choosing between 12 candidates including the incumbent president and his longtime rival.

Ethnic group and has faced mass protests for the last year people are angry that he amended the constitution allowing him to run for a 3rd term in office his main opposition candidate is telling. You leave the party called the union of Democratic Forces of guinea his support base is drawn from the Largest Ethnic Group the fulani for more on all of this lets cross to nicholas hes following the election for us from dakar in neighboring senegal and nick lets talk us through how identity politics has really played a role in this campaign and is the government doing anything at all about it. Well you know theres certainly an eerie tense calm this morning as people head out to take part in this election following a Divisive Campaign as you described it i mean Amnesty International just released a statement calling on the government to protect all of guineans during this election and earlier in the week during the campaign the United Nations office for the prevention of genocide came out with a statement announcing its alarm with the violence that has taken place not just in the campaign but throughout the year during the referendum and throughout this tense year that has been in guinea that lead up to african day running to a 3rd term now joining me now its also about f. B. I. Research consultants you know youve covered guinea extensively youve collected data your human rights campaigner can you explain to us this ethnic tension or does ethnicity play a role in this election in how people will vote today vote along ethnic lines well certainly the campaign has been the Electoral Campaign has been plagued with a backsliding of civil and Political Rights in a context where its being instrumentalist its being in 3 minutes and eyes from all sides you know there is no Political Party or you know the main Political Parties have not been exempt from these instruments of a station and violence on the ground in march for instance more than 30 people were killed in intercommunal clashes. In the guinea for east region and that was during the constitutional referendum now these this ethnic tension that you see that weve seen in this campaign i mean are these exit existing Division Within guinea and society or are politician exacerbating the situation and actually playing up to those tensions well guinea is a melting pot for different ethnicities in guinea and theyve always lived in guinea as it exists as a country today. The tensions between these groups are being instrumentalist by politicians its easier to mobilize around its neck lines then you need to mobilize around a program unfortunately and people therefore are you know facing the violence caused by the politicians were which are just fueling ethnic tensions in in the country again. 30 death during the constitutional referendum in march there were 150. 00 People Killed in syria go in 2013 also during the black races there were People Killed in the context of ethnic tensions so its a very dangerous and very fragile climate peaceful climate and if you politicians continue to instrumental lazy for political gains its it could lead to chaos now obviously theres as you mentioned a multiethnic country phalanges make of the majority over 30 percent of the population are there discriminations that certain ethnic groups faces in guinea in society. To be honest the matter of human rights affects everyone in guinea you know you if you talk to people in the streets whether theyre for learning or whether theyre from the guinea for its region there is a really issue of access to education guinea has a very high prevalence rate of female genital mutilation 97 percent so its not a matter really of ethnicity is a matter of human rights and it should be human rights for all you shouldnt be human rights for the learning or human rights for women it should be human rights for all also from f. B. I. Research consultancy thank you very much over 5000000 people will be casting their vote today unfortunately here in neighboring senegal more than 3000000 given living abroad will not be taking part in this election but among those voting many of them are 1st time voters and they want to see a change in the political toll culture that were seeing here in guinea but before the Election Results or the voting has even finished already certain Political Party parties are calling foul play so really a tense election ahead and well be following events as they unfold there in all right because thank you very much for the time being. New zealands Prime Minister just into our journey looked to form a new government within 3 weeks or a labor party won an unprecedented victory in National Polls on saturday got enough support to govern by itself the 1st time any partys been able to do that since a new system was introduced in 1906 no coronavirus related restrictions have come into force and parts of france belgium and poland countries across europe have hit new records for the number of daily infections well talk to me barker in london just among the 1st reports. In belgium the Coronavirus Crisis is deepening. And restaurants are closing for a month as infections double every week belgium follows from city imposing a nightly curfew and doctors have warned of a shortage of intensive care beds within weeks the german chancellor prays for her governments handling of the 1st wave of infections told germans to prepare for hot days ahead as the number of cases there rises steadily each bias thats cling i ask you to refrain from any trick that is not absolutely necessary from any celebration that is not absolutely necessary i know that this not only sounds tough but in individual cases it is a severe sacrifice but we only have to do this temporarily and we ultimately do it for ourselves. Infections a soaring across europe with around a 100000. 00 new cases a day and the continent power brokers seem increasingly powerless on saturday the Austrian Foreign minister Alexander Schellenberg confirmed he tested positive for the virus raising fears an e. U. Meeting he tended on monday may have been a socalled super spreader event the belgian foreign minister has also gone into isolation with suspected symptoms. It comes a day after 3 e. U. Leaders including the Prime Minister of finland were forced to drop out of a possible summit as a precautionary measure most future meetings will now happen remotely more than half of englands now under tougher covert 19 rules in london and other areas a ban on households mixing inside including bars and restaurants came into force on saturday as the capital moves from being at moderate risk to high risk and the governments 3 tier system the county of lancashire in the northwest moves to the top tier very high risk meaning no socializing outside a household bubble and the closure of bars or restaurants but the mayor of manchester the u. K. 3rd largest city is resisting the toughest restrictions warning of dismal consequences for the local economy. The new restrictions are all part of the governments localised response in dealing with the rising infection rate design so the Prime MinisterBoris Johnson to avoid the misery of a full national law but given that 28000000 people half the country are facing these new restrictions for many its already beginning to feel like one. Now lets bring in needs hes joining us from london eve so what are peoples reactions to these latest restrictions being announced in parts of england. Think there are georgie of people across the country a resigns to the situation largely because the the numbers are going up steadily but there are differences of opinion about the governments approach is a as i mentioned theres an almighty rao erupted between Central Government here in london and leaders in the northwest of england the the man of manchester the labor malpas ition labor Mandy Burnham is resisting calls to up the level from the high risk level to the very high risk level because hes worried about how its going to impact peoples lives and livelihoods hes worried too that these restrictions may well last long through the winter and the businesses and other people will simply not be able to handle these kind of restrictions currently the only part of the country under the highest restrictions is liverpool the situation there has been critical enough for the decision to be made that there should be no mingling of people inside or outside a toy released in most situations all bars and restaurants are forced to close takeaways are allowed. People have to seek guidance as to whether or not they can enter or leave the area well the mayor of munch a serious saying is well look lets try a short term lockdown lots has the backing of the leader of the Opposition Labor Party sick kids starmer the feeling is that businesses might be able to handle a shorter term full a lot down but will find it very very challenging indeed to weather anything longer but Central Government is saying well look if my just it doesnt toe the line if the numbers continue to go up critically after as they have been doing the government here may well have to directly intervene and that could be very messy indeed parts of europe are seeing new restrictions as outlined in your report but now we understand new restrictions are set to be announced in italy as well what more do you know about.

U. Countries and also possibly the closure of some schools so a challenging picture across the board there around 100000 new infections a day across europe that roughly translate to around a 10 percent increase in cases a mostly you country for very last leo there is a darkening picture a chink of light one of the chief scientific adviser is here in the u.

On the football Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has been criticized for touching a female assistant referee in saturdays win over arsenal the origin time confronted shaun massey after she signaled a throw in touching a roman icam shoulder before the official swatted him away under rules introduced in 2016 players can be cautioned all saints off for touching match officials but a greater went unpunished the incident has caused a storm on social media but Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has defended him saying come on guys is the nicest person ive ever met in my life look for problems in other situations not in this 130 on a henny is the director of womens football at the Swiss Football Association formally a fee for she joins us now on skype from munich tatiana thank you for your time youve watched the footage so what are your thoughts on a touching the assistant referee. And i have very mixed feelings you know in one way i think thats part of the game its an intern in which can happen and will happen and it has happened to all mate and email officials but at the same time its just really also showing clearly some issues youre still facing as women being involved in football which is still a mans game part of the game you say but the rules say that if you touch a match official you should be punished right why wasnt he punished. Why is really hard for me to say i think it was a wrong decision but again i think that happens in football to need to clearly at least 100 percent that yellow card or red card you can discuss thats been going to be a big a sink and difficult because it was it aggressive probably not it was more like a gesture of oh come on little girl you know what are you doing here why are you not giving another decision and i think that is the problem this is a message she puts across that is attitude. Really taking her seriously i think or at the end sort of the spot of fierce debate on social media some are saying whats the big deal is this and that its. Commonly faced by women in football. Yet totally i agree and i think the discussion right now shows it you know its mostly men telling. Mostly women who feel different about that situation its exactly why women sometimes dont feel comfortable in football maybe thats why we dont have so many women in for all. Constantly told what to do and how this works and how disease and we have to adapt to that environment and i think football has some Critical Issues as well in there or in their sports and their environment and women who actually be really good to change that and but here its just the wrong message you know were told what to do be treated like you. Dont take that so serious why are you. It was just a little gesture and i think thats make any tool easy for them to get out of this and what can football organizations like yours life like the english f. A. Do to change attitudes and behavior that can be seen as problematic against women in the game. Yeah i think we need to do things we need are definitely more women involved and again if its just one then it becomes such a big issue here you know so we need more it has to be normal that women are involved in the game if a referee in a century or a coach or more women in leadership positions in the sports organizations in other people as the way for us to also this we said ok we dont have enough women its just not normal to see women in more in the elite lebrecht again we need to change that and in this case and seemed a really strong message would be nice if i gave her such a nice guy as a message like your i said you just say this no im sorry that was stupid i didnt mean it and i will try to make it better and i respect women and the little girl as well and i hope there will be more women and again that would be really great message from him that he on a heavy thank you very much for you its pretty she added thanks.
