Cases with germany going into lockdown for several months of these go schemes are on the horizon and its. A scary prospect for clubs who have already taken a huge hit in the pandemic and silent stadiums wont help the players to this kind of schedule either. Speaking of which germanys best teams usually inspire terror in their opponents but 2 back to back Champions League match days meant that they were missing key players this weekend expiring rested robert levy for their trip to cologne despite the striker being in the form of his life. Dortmund were also missing their top forward against bielefeld early in holland sneak up to the travelling so how do the elite clubs beat the rest without their goal machines well show you who stepped up. But 1st we take a look at what happened when germanys other 2 we clubs met club back versus lights they saw some of the bundesliga is finest players clash we start with the top game in munching flat back. Because. Expectations are high when she lived. Germanys top clubs meet but in the middle of 2 Champions League fixtures both coaches have to shuffle the pack it was time to see how good best squads really are. Thank you leonardos man brought in 4 sets of pressure legs while Michael Walzer rotated most of his attacking players that included benching marcus who scored twice against real madrid last week so this was a chance for backup players to make their case like thomas wolfe on loan from none other than their opponents here abi like sick. So who would cope better with a heavy workload the 1st chance fell to the visit has when alexander so a lot found use of poulsen but that was as good as it got in the 1st half neither team made much of an impression. Back vs likes it is usually a tie that showcases exciting football both teams busting with speed and creativity and capable of producing the unexpected. Here not so much. Neither goals as a team nor not goals munns was at their best. It was a tough one. I think both teams you saw in the 1st of the both teams played in the Champions League. 2 or 3 days before for this before but i mean the envy fight. When fatigue sets in what else can you do but fight your way out of it allison player pushed for an opening goal shortly after the break. Both teams covered the ground as usual but tiredness affects the mind to a lack of imagination and ingenuity betrayed the effects of playing so much Football Players who had a short summer break the start of this season feels like the end of the normal one so it took the freshness of a backup player to break the deadlock in the 60th minutes perennial substitute hamis vul scored for his lone club against his parent club. I 21 year old austrian showed that when others a lacking in inspiration a little extra zip can make all the difference i was a nose ball from his time at arbys outscored so his big moment was especially satisfying. And this is hannahs has settled in and integrated well the lads like him he started well and had a good preseason i now hope that he can get going properly. Might seek had to push for an equaliser but they struggled to create genuine chances marcels up its a had the best opening but could make it count. The league a glatt back the chance to hit like 6 on the break player could have settled things in the 67th minute but he was denied by the crossbar alternately it didnt matter like to just didnt have an equaliser in them their team a van a replacement so a lot remains without a goal for his new Club Something he has to rectify if like to gossip. Knowledge their 1st defeat of the season left not those months shaking his head i see today at the end felt like a draw but if the team 1st scored a goal i got the 3 points so at the end about this hand in football one team surplus is another teams joy that was the case for gloves and especially thomas bones. And with like 6 spot at the top of the table up for grabs there was room for another team to take some pleasure of their own from this result. You can probably guess whos. Byrons clash with cologne pitched one of the most formidable teams in german history against one without a victory in 15 games. Cologne start to the season has been miserable. So it was no wonder that byron crowe comfortable rotating heavily for this game Thomas Miller emmanuel noir and youre struck him it remains but hansie flick made 6 changes among those taking a breather really on gorecki and robert leaven dos. Battle out eric maxime to promoting to make history going to say good start for biron. Despite the changes byron started at a high tempo and in a 13th minute surge cannot agree forced a penalty. Cologne loney maris voce handball give brian an early opportunity to forge ahead with that move on dusty the question was who would step up and surprisingly Thomas Miller took responsibility. And unsurprisingly mr reliable was true to his nickname millers 4th goal of the season put byron why no luck miller has been ever present in the new campaign despite barely getting a summer break he led the team to victory here and drew level with a. Older con 261. 00 is the go wins with fire in. The show and. Its a good number when i was 15 i never thought id reach that total by 31. But i know that i see on ciancia 1st as in all of their games this season cologne fell behind against byron but despite their clear superiority but struggled to press their advantage home and were far less dangerous in front of goal than fans have come to expect johnsons ever since we made it hard for ourselves we didnt attack with our usual conviction we created few chances and lost the ball too easily and cologne got back into the game in the name of it in spirit so we can. But just this cologne thought they might be able to take something from the match a ruthless attack led to kim ish beating gnabry. And the winger strolled unimpeded towards the goal before finding the bottom corner. One of finance great strengths is their ability to avoid irritating setbacks. Here despite missing several stars for t. V. Colder weather and whatever else might trouble mere mortals they had the mental strength and quality and depth to force their way to victory and theyll need both of those things in spades when they come up against their 1st major test of this season next weekend in dortmund. Their winning margin here against cologne could have been greater if live and dusty had travelled to promoting couldnt live up to his teammates quality. But the only real threat to buying victory was a false sense of security cologne for one back with a goal that confused everyone including goalscorer dominic drexler. Benjamin provide just about played him on side 21 and that was enough for coach marcus gives doll to make some excuses. Before probably caused by in munich real problems today. We took the positive performances from the last 2 games into this one and we came really close to taking points off. People. Now under 16 game winless run against all has been reduced to talking up to beat but in reality cologne created little in the way of pressure for genuine threat. Firing one despite rotating largely thanks to the leaders they did have on the pitch. And in particular im man of the match day. With. This one man by munich cant risk rotating it. While his team mates are being rested no one has started every single one of binds 11 matches this season. But. Its. Been. Just the same pansy flick has praised for being an extra coach on the pitch something his teammates thankful for kind of. On the pitch i think hes hes even worse he is in the changing room but it helps us a lot gives a lot of good advice and makes it easier for us to know what we have to do. The man brian cant do without thats why thomas is our man of the much today. Are you watching. Thanks. The rain was pelting down in 5 and it was raining goals too. Had barely had time to get going before opened the scoring for 5 borg in the 1st minute. Then drew for. But after the checked in with the red car was withdrawn. The free kick. That acted as a turning point for the strikers equal. To one lead going into half time. After the break. Up to the gift scoring an absolute peach of a. Substitute. Get one back to make things interesting. But then sometimes imperious had a. Victory convincing stuff from the very. Frank rich and inspiring 1st half came to life when he died she canada but he goes ahead or so he thought our old friend v. A. R. Chalked it off to an offside in the buildup a relief for bremen keeper eugene lanka who got hit in the face for his troubles. In the 2nd half visitors braitman took the lead when just sargent st down the left exactly with the Young American needed to boost his confidence in front of goal. But andre silva finally got frankfurt on the scoresheet equalizing from come out as cross to make up for their disappointment in the 1st half when all the final score. Against his former club. Both his own team. Looking for just a 2nd wind campaign. Had french from. His disposal on loan from also and freshly recovered from. The game. Couldnt have started better. With Material School near strolling in the 6 minutes it would have to finally win the game at home this season. No later in the 1st half these low baku smashed in the eyes of footballs borg. Thought they had a penalty when they went down in the penalty area but again a very young played a decisive role no penalty. In the 2nd half of piled on the pressure but. They remain winless at home. Mines were the only team without a single point in the bundesliga so they needed to stick together now more than ever for the visit of outfit. But as usual they fell behind a stunning bicycle kick from rubin vygotsky out for the head when youre conceding goals like this you know things are bad. Feinstein put up a fight karim going to see well maybe one all in the 64th minute. But with just 10 minutes remaining outspread took control courtesy of andre han the forwards were twice once with each foot to get out straight up 31. 00 win. The question for minds now is just how bad can things get this season. Back in september hoffenheim be fired but since then theyve lost their way a little song they were keen to take 3 points against. But things didnt go to plan just before the hour mark probert school of soul read and much closer to head from the spots. Cruiser has now scored all of his 15 blunders legal penalties. Down to 10 men hoffenheim full back. Equalised with less than 10 minutes to go. But that was enough time for when youre on your own follow a monster score a somewhat bizarre goal and put it on your own back in front. And center it added a 3rd for the berliners on the counter. 31 the final score on your own and now unbeaten in 5 games. Shall go were in terrible form and had a grand total of one point going into the game with newly promoted stuttgart shellcode coach manuel baum a former teacher can certainly do the math. A win here would definitely help and for a while it looked like shaka might finally get 119 year old will each shout open the scoring at the half hour mark with a diving header 1st 1st every win is the goal and just this 2nd match. I like to score goals i used to do that playing in the junior leagues its a dream come true. But stuttgart have started the season well and a penalty early in the 2nd half for a handball give Nicolas Gonzalez the chance to make it one on after the game bounce said he would have barely given his team a passing grade for the performance. But his decision to play shout gets an a plus from kick off. Sometimes the answer to a clubs problems is simply new blood and a little faith in players from the youth academy. Each man without doubt has drawn caution to the wind giving shout a starting berth. And the 19 year old has repaid the faith in. The attitude of bounce youngsters the key to saving shelters cizik. They approach games differently because they have not had negative experiences you can see that on the pitch produced a great Performance Today and did well to school the guy he told. The royal blue certainly need all the help they can get trust and youth is exactly what she needed and trusting shower is are moving to match day. In a much healthier position. Good for much this season dorman boasts the best defense in the league and then neck and neck with byan in the title race with main man erling hall and out injured however they have to call on others to lead the line against. Thomas de laney tried his luck from midfield early on but collins teammates largely struggled to make an impact. Despite some neat exchanges and a few pretty flicks to outland found it tough to break down a resilient bealefeld. So much homilies decided to take matters into his own hands he set up Jaden Sanchez on 27 minutes but the England International was unable to convert the glorious opportunity hosts bielefeld had little to shout about Going Forward aside from this muscle hostile efforts. But dont meant just couldnt punish them with money when the country missing and now they had chance in the 41st minute. To the break homo stepped it up a notch and took responsibility sanchez filling in the dangerous delivery and you did the rest. And nonorthodox finished for sure but effective nonetheless for the one nil up to 53 minutes. Was also getting the job done in defense as being the felt were forced to be more adventurous. And with the game opening up almost step forward again to consolidate daltons lead in the 72nd minute this finish was a little more deliberate. By. Where others failed the vice captain prevailed. Yulian but on tab a fantastic opportunity to make it 3 but his lack of composure once again highlighted what dortmund miss when holland isnt on the pitch. I would say my number one we dont really have a battering ram up front who we can really rely on to hold up the bowl. Were all players who prefer to be on the ball and some. Times we want to carry the ball all the way into gulf. Thats a fair criticism at times it can be difficult for us to play against a sitting defense. And thats why it takes us a little longer to score sometimes. On the singles on some of the sending off. Thankfully for dortmund homos was in the form of his life although with germany outcast under your he moved he was showcasing his leadership when he was needed most but a late injury will have dont mean sweating with a jam packed schedule the club can ill afford to go without his main man in defense. Thats what it was very very good today not only scoring goals i dont think are you sure there. But he did very well taking. Of course. He stepped up today really. Without. Signaling his importance to their defensive stability. When he looked disappointed with a less than graceful end. Up next and he needs his big stars firing at both ends of the pitch. Both. Are available for the big clash. So lets see what the world match day 6. This dutch magazine was impressed by how by an indoor player stepped up in front of the goal while their regular sharpshooters were resting up at home. Although no we. Wondered if it was actually holland. From portugal was also in on this particular Conspiracy Theory we know its you she tweeted that holland. Whoever it was this fan in india is hoping you split again for the buyer game. And sell as a side goal scoring is too risky he said hilda the tricks to holland from now on. And i say it in the usa pointed out that the heroes of the weekend. Are out in the cold for germany. Elsewhere. And spain said club back when folks 2 showed the power of the rule of the x. And nepalese journal the himalayan times also applied to black. And that was match day 6. Victory is a. Fire. By how to do the head of them massive clash next weekend. Doesnt prove theyre still among the elite to now lets look at our top 3 goals of the much day. Goal number 3 is an idiom i mean are you strike related couzin. Perfectly placed in the top corner of the freiberg net. Going under too close alfreds rubin bargains. Were all a 2nd for a bicycle kick right. And goal number one is read about coups weve all heard. Hit hard into the roof of the net such a satisfying strike. Now to the table. The top 2 are already pulling clear of the mid table teams wildlife so you leave accuse and im glad buff give the top 5 a familiar feel thought out for im struck out at least make for a couple of surprising names in the top. At the bottom bealefeld you have poor form will usually see them occupy spots in the relegation zone when less colona shall go and mines are in even worse shape one of them has to win a game soon right. Thats it for match day 6 but theres no rest for the wicked germanys Champions League competitors are routed weekend this week. Leipsic host p. S. G. And the biggest top. They have to put 2 dismal defeats in the last week behind them the other representatives face away trips. To that the coming match day features one of the biggest games of the season. With those 2 at the top of the table again that match could help decide the title. And face a trip to leave the team they pitch to the Champions League places last season well see if the vaccine Still Holding a grudge the big weekend what a shame no supporters will be there to see it. And we hope you will be to see them. This president ial election is a crucial wide not just for the United States whos leading the race in america right now with me right here for you and those tell you everything you need to know as america decides move bring you the numbers issues the background join us for a special emotional switch from berlin the u.

All we can be the generation that ends it that malaria must start so millions can live. This is news live from austria. Courts calls it a terrorist attack and says it will not. Program. In the United States after the most divisive. Campaign. Cast. Choice facing american voters. Joe 5 is ahead in the polls but can he oust President Trump. The program. Has declared 3 days of National Mourning after 4 people were killed in a shooting rampage in the capital at least one gunman opened fire locations in the city center has been identified as a 20 year old sympathizer of the Islamic State militant group interior minister. Said Police Killed the assailant 9 minutes after he opened fire. That 14 people have been arrested in connection with the attack and that police have so far found no evidence of a 2nd gunman. Alexandersson over 50 percent of the video material has been viewed by the evaluation is not yet completed the videos so far give no indication of a 2nd perpetrator however since the evaluation has not yet been completed we cannot finally say how many perpetrators actually responsible for the crime are just publishing fun for police and well lets go straight to vienna where we join journalists to carry skywriting welcome carry what else are we learned from the interior minister. Well some interesting facts about the perpetrator the man who was killed last night the 20 year old through is double austrian macedonian citizenship then he was imprisoned in austria last year on terrorist charges and then he entered the Radicalization Program the minister there he was tricked his way through that Radicalization Program the way he described it and i think in the weeks and days to come this is where questions will arise for the government of the Justice Ministry as to why this person was a lot of jail for his youth was part of the reason that thats been given and why he slipped through the Radicalization Program and also the search for his accomplices if they actually exist certainly 14 people have been detained for questioning whether they were accomplices in the crimes of last night or whether they were simply associates all family or friends of the deceased suspect remains to be seen the number of shooters doesnt appear to be clear at this point Authorities Say they are not looking for another suspect but theyre also not ruling it out why so much uncertainty. That is what were all asking because earlier this morning we were all talking about a number of assailants there were 6 locations in the end its very hard to understand how one could have moved between those 6 locations which police named quite some distance apart and now there was only 9 minutes between the alarm being raised and the man being shot so quite a lot still be to be explained there but as you pointed out it does seem to be moving towards either one perpetrator or perhaps 2 we will only know that perhaps when the police have gone through the remainder of the year stay with us and carry were going to have a look at last nights events which the chancellor has condemned as a repulsive terror attack. Its the morning after in vienna and the city is on edge a huge manhunt is taking place behind the scenes and last nights events have caused a sleepless night for many. Laughing i couldnt sleep i feel awful its funny i still feel the panic going on in the week they gain time nervous and worried as i live in the neighborhood next to our garden from there you could hear a lot. As strong as government has declared monday suitings a terror attack and says at least one of the assailants had an islamist motive. Its. Steep its not been confirmed that yesterdays attack was very clearly an islamist terrorist attack. The attack was launched on monday evening with people fleeing in panic as gunfire broke out in multiple locations in the city center. Many people were out and about at the time enjoying one last evening in bars and restaurants before a nationwide coronavirus curfew. Started in position because that i was inside and suddenly some customers came in and told me dont go out theres a gun battle going on i looked outside and heard shots in a few seconds 15 to 20 shots for sure seems transitions to see what. The 1st gunshots were reported maybe and as main synagogue a rabbi so a man opened fire. Running into various rooms around our or i was 3. People running away you know. 2 attackers armed chasing them or the street they were shooting at least 100 rounds just before the program. One gunmen was shot dead by police the government says he was wearing a fake explosive belt and had a previous terror conviction. The attacker was a sympathizer of the terror group Islamic State but he and his residence have been urged to stay at home while the manhunt continues and as the country in shock begins 3 days of mourning to honor the victims of mondays attack. After carry scarring in vienna carry a 3 days of National Mourning this is clearly a country. It has i was walking on the streets just a couple of hours ago its very quiet people have taken the advice and stayed home i think austrians will be mourning not just the people lost last night but also the loss of their freedom and their peace freedom from its sort of attack over the past couple of decades. That will be a hard thing to come to grips with as they are also coming to grips with the crisis so yes or a country in mourning and in shock. Right thank you for that kerry skywriting and in vienna.

That the u. S. Election where in person voting has begun in one of the most polarized president ial elections in the countrys history voters in large parts of the country today on the east coast and midwest started to cast their votes democratic hopeful joe biden made a last whistle stop tour hes the childhood home town of scranton pennsylvania in a final push to get the voters out to the owners Record Number of the early 100000000 americans voted early this year either in person pulled by an aisle President Trump has repeatedly made unsubstantiated claims about forged look mail in voting despite this he told supporters at least last rally to expect a beautiful victory. Well having entered the election things seem to be looking pretty good for joe biden with a consistent lead in the polls pollsters have been wrong of course like the last time in 2016 when Hillary Clinton looked like making history as americas 1st female president but despite her poll lead and winning. The popular vote americas Electoral College system was against or votes cast this year the latest polls give joe biden an even bigger National Lead 8. 00 Percentage Points so what lessons have pollsters learned from the 2016 result and could be looking at another upset. Well Courtney Kennedy hes director of survey research at the Pew Research Center which is looked into how the 2016 polls underestimated donald trump welcome to d. W. Back into it 16 the Electoral College system meant but Hillary Clinton lost several states the polls predicted she would win so where did the pollsters go wrong well there are 2 major problems with that one is there was actually a late swing in trumps favor in a number of those key states where we had roughly 15 percent of voters in 2016 really torn who to vote for whether to vote at all in those voters for a very heavily for donald trump in the final days so some polls just missed that late swing and the other problem was that most state polls had not ensured that they were representative of the state in terms of the level of education of the voters and that was very problematic because right now in the u. S. Education levels are very tightly tied to votes for president so they had too many challenged graduates in those polls last time and they had too many Hillary Clinton supporters right there was the theory after the election that they were shy a Trump Supporters of people who were unwilling to declare themselves outside of a ballot box i believe you you looked into that what did you find. We did while that got tremendous attention theres very little data to back that up i did 5 different tasks looking for evidence of that and each one turned up little to no evidence that people were lying to pollsters on mass you know sometimes some people will lie to pollsters but its really not in numbers large enough that thats whats the problem with polling these days and so have pew research changed your method since the 2016 election. We have changed our methods although not for reasons tied to the election per se but we are long the pollsters who have switched from recruiting them samples of americans by simply telephone numbers to instead sampling them by through addresses home addresses and then in interviewing people on line ok so this you mentioned earlier the polls have been pretty stable behind joe biden they have been giving them a consistent lead. Does that tell us anything. It suggests that theres always a chance of a late break something unexpected at the very end of a Campaign Making a difference but the chances of that are much lower this year back in 2016 about 15 percent of voters were undecided and figuring things out this year that number was more like 5 percent so it absolutely has been a more stable race and people on both sides have been much more committed to their candidate good talking to you thank you for joining us Courtney Kennedy from the Pew Research Center. Now its not just at home that donald trump divides opinion with his america 1st policy is a brash style on the diplomatic stage is also polarized opinions outside the us well the w. Has been asking people around the world who they hope will win a state that the United States can find they really are shit in this moment because we are facing up to me here in costa rica we depend on stories and for example we really have. The frontiers open again when a possibility i hope biden wins because with trump things are not going very well i hope that with bidens triumphs relations with mexico will improve the chicago style of competition i think donald trump will win he won so surprisingly last time as well for many non expats thats why i think he will win the election. If i give in i hope trump doesnt win i really dont want trump to win because he has been tightening has really badly when it comes to managing daughter to school board situation but any kind of scenarios that erupted in the last one year. Im expecting anything even a civil war anything can happen. Well well have full coverage through that im sure ill not dig it up if ill be back with more world news coming up next you know through a little business. Of. Why are people forced to hide in trucks. And there are many stories. Make up your. Made for minds.
