Significant new gains the head of the rival Administration War with has arrived in moscow for talks.

On time how much now have all the sporting kid in class and fears promoters says. While there could happen this year and macau. We begin in texas where a Memorial Service for george floyd is now underway in his hometown last to show you the live pictures from the Public Service at the fountain of praise church there mr floyds body is lying in an open casket and small groups are taking turns to pay their respects john hendren is in texas where that big crowd is expected for that Memorial Service he joins us from whos done so john just take us through what were expecting to happen in the coming few hours. Well right now youve got a crowd snaking maybe maybe you can see some of them behind me theres a a crowd snaking all around this building of hundreds of people and i talked to a number of them what theyre doing is theyre theyre going to walk by the casket they come in in groups of 15 they can stay for up to 10 minutes apiece meaning that more than 500 people will be able to get past George Floyds casket in those 6 hours that theyve gone to do so i talked to a number of those people about a half a dozen of them and none of the people i talked to personally knew george floyd but they said they wanted to come to pay their respects to him to pay respect to what happened to him and also as a statement against Police Brutality across the United States so this is this is sort of the public event of many events that have occurred there was a memorial in minneapolis where friends and family were inside but thousands of mourners were outside that was last thursday on saturday the same scene thousands of people standing outside as service in North Carolina where george floyd was born in a course of this houston is where he was raised so his formative years were spent here and people here will have their own funeral for him tomorrow on tuesday some high profile speakers that weve heard of the reverend al sharpton Benjamin Crump the civil rights lawyer and a videotape by joe biden the former Vice President and current president ial contender who met with the family we are told today this is the program and this is going to go on for some hours to come still and for george floyd clearly this is the end of the story this is the end of his particular story but his legacy still evolving at breakneck speed it is changing policing it is changing the interaction between Police Forces around the world i guess and people of color it is changing politics very very quickly in the United States. It is indeed there is this Movement Across the United States to defund the police and what it means a different thing depending on who you talk to in minneapolis the majority of the council there is now prepared to do that you have had in congress the house of representatives looking at a measure that would end chokeholds and some other things that probably will not ultimately be passed in the form that theyve got it because theres a Republican Senate and a republican president whos now speaking very pro Law Enforcement but this is a movement thats going across the country and what tends to happen in change in the United States is you get incremental change in one state one town after another and this defund the Police Movement it has really taken off you might hear a little about that when al sharpton speaks in the next 24 hours or so he wants to turn this into a National Movement which of course it really already is because weve had protests. In George Floyds name and in major cities across the u. S. Too many to count but they include new york chicago los angeles really across the country so this movement has begun and its likely to continue ok well leave it there for the moment john. As well in the meantime thank you very much. You know science members pay tribute to black american george floyd ahead of the unveiling of legislation that Congress Hopes will change the way Police Departments operate the members paused for 8 minutes and 46 seconds the same period of time floyd was pinned to the ground by a Police Officer with a need to his neck the democrats are proposing legislation that if approved would make it easier to prosecute a case of misconduct we have 2 more teams with live reports natasha can and will join us from minneapolis where shortly the key suspect in floyds murder is to make his 1st Court Appearance i can tell you that Court Appearance has now happened will talk to natasha in just a 2nd live though 1st to White House Correspondent kimberly how could so kimberly clearly the symbolism of those u. S. Democrats taking the need for almost 9 minutes so strong so strong so powerful played on Television Sets across the United States but what House Democrats are looking to do is to take that symbolism beyond just that and to make tangible change and as weve been discussing it does move very slowly in terms of that legislative process still its one that has now been introduced in the house of representatives the democrats hoping that at least at the federal level that they can introduce things such as banning a chokehold ending racial profiling and also setting up a National Police registry the reason House Speaker nancy pelosi says this is necessary is to honor the memory of the victims let us my colleagues share scope over some of those names of martyrdom George Floyd Jackson davis oscar grant. So sad Briana Taylor armaan are very bottom John Terrance cloture the lando. Castle freddy gray walter scott to me or rice Michael Brown eric garner Trayvon Martin my colleagues any other names you want to reveal the story battle over a 1000000. 00. Thank you we cannot settle for anything less than transformative structural change ok so thats the latest out of washington and hussam texas the story is developing as we are on here with the news our live to minneapolis minnesota and our correspondent in touch so metasearch derek cho even has appeared in court. Thats correct and he appeared video a video im sorry he appeared Via Video Conference he has been in a state correctional facility in suburban minneapolis due to concerns over his safety problem there hearings are generally quite quick this one was no different we understand that his bail has been raised from 1000000. 00 to 1. 00 i believe that 1000000. 00 again in the complaint against chauvin the attorney general of minnesota says that even though Police Officers in the Minneapolis Police department had training and understood when restraining a suspect if they were down on the ground face down and handcuffed that that was in her early dangerous and that the fact that 44 year old former minneapolis Police Officer jared cho been kneeled on George Graves now for almost 9 minutes almost 3 of those minutes after he was unresponsive was a substantial factor in floyds death the complaint says that floyd was not resisting arrest that he was calm but he said he was claustrophobic and was leery about getting into the back of that squad car the complaint also says that despite repeated pleas with the 4 officers on scene that he couldnt breathe he was ignored do you think that this will be a long process natasha i mean could this case take months if not perhaps years because there is so much chance and so much interest in this if this goes to a courtroom where theres a jury that process of selecting the jury presumably in itself could take months and months. Absolutely but lets go back to the investigation when the governor of minnesota asked the attorney general to take over the case last week the attorney general asked the public to be patient he said this investigation will be a lengthy one and of course theres a lot of impatience on the street we attended several protests over the weekend and people are just so hungry for what they describe as a climate of race based policing that they are ready to see a resolution to the floyd case that will be the case and also in light of the fact that historically juries in the United States dont convict Police Officers and you see that the attorney generals trying to temper expectations he has said this will be a difficult case to prosecute now with regard to children its clear there was a history of complaints 818. 00 Police Misconduct complaints filed against him over an almost 20 year career only a few of those cases in which he was disciplined and he received a reprimand and according to an investigation with the Minneapolis Star Tribune the 3rd precinct where all 4 of these officers worked had also a troubled history remember the 3rd precinct is that Police Station that was stormed by protesters looted and set on fire on may 28th and according to this investigation that in between 272017 at that precinct alone the city paid out more than 2000000. 00 to settle misconduct lawsuits so were looking at again a backdrop here in minneapolis where people are fed up over the weekend 9 City Council Members of a majority pledged during a rally that they will just band the Police Department they believe that the Police Department is beyond reform now what would go in its place. It is unclear City Council Members are saying that would be some sort of Public Safety system and they would work with the community to develop it but it appears a standoff may be coming because the mayor here of minneapolis jacob frye has says that he is interested in reforming and not abolishing the Police Department the City Council Members say they have a veto proof majority and they also point to the fact that despite Police Officers wearing body cameras despite the fact that they have been trained in deescalation techniques that complaints citizen complaints against against the Minneapolis Police department continue to rise and again to put it all in perspective according to data from 5 years police black suspects where you were subjects of force against the Police Department 7 times more often than whites ok well leave it there many things in his bail set at one and a quarter 1000000. 00 of the Court Date Set for the and all the months and hush remember reporting live for us thank you very much.

No one know it yeah grandpa gets done really big gardening for some of the medical experts that next week will be critical the World Health Organization<\/a> had warned months ago that focused on could be dodging up to 200 didnt confirm cases by july you also have to understand that the country had not yet come up to speed with the number of deaths so far theyre trying to achieve 30000 deaths per day and the number of confirmed cases of god rising now as an alarming rate richard also putting a huge burden on the countrys great medical facilities and not to mention the fact that there are there is an Economic Cost<\/a> at red according to initial estimates by the government up to 2. 5 trillion repeat of last days and also alarming neugebauer unemployment that could go up to their credit 1000000 mark and a country that had about 60 to 65000000 workforce ended other consequences from covert 19 but the important thing the Prime Minister<\/a> of pakistan saying that it was an extremely difficult start to go forward for lock down because that border guard the country and perhaps also create a lawyer in order to do a country going ahead with trying to normalize also a message from the Prime Minister<\/a> that the people will now have to learn to live with gold 90 well the corona virus is affecting every country in africa more than 5000 africans are reported to have died with nearly 190000 confirmed infections those statistics from the Africa Centers<\/a> for Disease Control<\/a> and prevention south africa was the hardest hit with more than 48000 recorded cases 2nd is egypt the 1st country to record a case in africa alone is 34000 africas most populous country nigeria highest count of nearly 12 and a half 1000 cases so. Its nigerias country director for the one campaign she says contrary to widespread reports responded quickly to cope with 19. I do think africa started quite aggressively building on the solidarity that the. Leaders on the continents demonstrated long nothings quickly being very vigilant regional and we saw the african continent really respond building up on that or seen that. People organizations and countries also in safety nets so we see namibia offering emergency grants to those who lost their jobs since countries like nigeria have over 2000000 people of families on that you know basically if. We see uganda permits in business its to reschedule this was a security contributions so we didnt see africa act quickly i do think that there is a context that we must recognize that poverty gap is widening nigeria just released her latest poverty 2900000. 00 living under a dollar a day meanwhile the standard definition of poverty is 2. 00 a day we see the Brooking Institute<\/a> saying 422000000. 00 africans are living in extreme poverty so we have a context of the poverty gap that is why we would call it so we guessed that in some time to prepare but we that poverty gap thats increasing is going to be places where it could security we are connected to the Global Supply<\/a> chain so theres very little we can do when the supply chains to press and economic economy agricultural productivity climbing so were seeing for security is that thats going to be something that we have to Pay Attention<\/a> to very very quickly most schools in south africa reopen but only students in the final years of primary and secondary School Education<\/a> are allowed back to class for me to miller spent the morning at one school in johannesburg. Its an anxious start to the day at whispery Primary School<\/a> in johannesburg so were all scared im scared but yeah my word and we are doing everything as police try to keep your child safe principal sheldon macone speaks to parents gathered outside the school many say theyre not confident that enough has been done to safeguard their children as will do if you have apparently said i dont know what the reopening was delayed by a week after teachers unions and parents complained about a lack of personal protective equipment and poor sanitation at some schools the government says 95 percent of schools are now ready but some parents dont feel reassured we already we all worried and for it being put out there to 2 parents who say do not worry how do you not worry as a parent. Thousands of students in the hotting province are discovering their School Routine<\/a> is now very different theyre having to wear masks and keep their distance from others their temperatures are also checked while they stand in the cold waiting for others to be registered and screamed its been a nightmare. You know the amount of hours weve put into this. It in the almost. Up to the yes there was involved in you know as a meeting with politicians bartlett officials you know trying to determine exactly how really we are because its something new for everybody you can say youre ready and then something comes up that you havent thought about Counseling Services<\/a> are available but many parents and teachers are concerned about how while children will adapt to their return and catching up on their schoolwork.

K. The government says its relying on the science the science for that contention begins to look doubtful when Scientists Say<\/a> that the point of a policy like this is to target specifically and efficiently countries with higher infection rates than the u. K. As indeed other countries have done with some effect and have done so far earlier in their epidemics and the other line of criticism of course is that this is all happening far too late.

Hundreds of people are paying their final respects to george floyd at an open Memorial Service<\/a> in his hometown of Houston Texas<\/a> its the 1st memorial held the block. American who was allegedly murdered by the Police Officer<\/a> just over 2 weeks ago now. The u. S. Congress is presenting legislation that could change how Police Departments<\/a> operate if passed the law would make it easier to prosecute cases of misconduct. By one of the rallying calls among protesters in the us is defund the police but what do they mean by that well instead of scrapping Police Budgets<\/a> and abolishing entire departments is about prioritizing money spending more on communities and Police Reforms<\/a> the u. S. Government spends 100000000000. 00 annually on policing and another 80000000000. 00 on prisons the Research Group<\/a> Mapping Police<\/a> violence says in the 6 years up to last year Police Killed<\/a> 7666 americans nationwide more than 1000 of them in 2019 alone nearly a quarter of them were black major cities such as New York Los Angeles<\/a> and minneapolis have already heating protesters demands and they have vowed to cut funding to the police as a criminal defense attorney who took part in the freddie gray case where an unarmed black man died in Police Custody<\/a> in maryland he joins us from baltimore ivan welcome back to aljazeera do you think if i was to Ask Donald Trump<\/a> now if it were possible mr trump youre the president do you think all your police are racist what do you think he thinks about that as a proposition 1st of all was said thank you very much for that. With your doubts donald trump if you believe all of us the sauce races he would say no they dont shop would say that there were maybe one or 2 but very few are race. Defunding the police how will it work indeed can it work. Well its its and stressed out think you have 2 different schools of thought one school of thought is we dont want the police at all but i think theres another school of thought the saying you know lets try and size how we spend the money for going to give it to many groups give it q Many Organizations<\/a> lets give it to organizations taught more with Mental Health<\/a> that the arts training a different light but not just lock up individuals not just where i was going it was in jails are not building more prisons so i think for those individuals that really want to be on the police thats what i believe theyre taught. How do they change the system because there is that old adage you know if the system aint broke dont change it but the system clearly is completely and utterly broke particularly point of delivery when police men and women across the United States<\/a> have to do their jobs something has gone systemically and systematically wrong and its taken until now i mean why are we still having a debate why is it even a debate about racism on the receiving end of engaging with a policeman a woman well. Essential resting because racism american state has been there since the dawn of the United States<\/a> of america and so what has happened little by little by little toss use and ashes that we dont believe our race so i ask you race the way that we look at individual advice from looking at police the 1st thing we have to do if you really want to change you have to change the policies and procedures one of the things that we realize with pretty great case was that the state before they ever won the courtroom they havent lost the case thats because they dont understand the police press policies and procedures if you dont understand how police are trained if you dont train change the way in which officer training therefore you allow our system and target specific actions those that come from out there are groups that have been marginalized by the police that are our souls looking from their mannish point which means simply the police to look at it from point a the other end of their to look at them from a point beat to totally different views and those of us are not aligning thats why we have the absence of to have the training and yap yap training process to understand what the communities that they are serving what theyre thinking about what they look like and how they really will be how they were when the police ok heres the thing when you talk about procedures i havent totally get a course i do policy not quite sure but it seems like a very nuanced area inside which it would be very easy to get it wrong particularly if the decision is taken at a local level to completely defund certain Police Forces<\/a> so that police force in any given city or state is to be despondent got rid of. Well you know i think theres a small segment of the population wants to do that i think most americans do not want to fund the police for instance one of the things that we can look at in terms of policy lets look out there minnesota the use of force one of the things the posse said arms that officers were allowed to use that force technically the office was allowed to put his knee on the back of the individuals that and if you read the paddle see it so it makes so little sense of the since they even say that you can do that to the point of an individual castle now that is a policy that used that mutely be taken out of all of the police are force and United States<\/a> of america no officer should be allowed to use that i do choke call or let me im once youre removing those policies therefore now we have can have a real conversation about what the police need to do in handling situations but doesnt that very briefly ivan doesnt that mean reform to such a degree that you in effect have to scrap every police force because not wishing to ask you a question that sounds even slightly loaded it does occur to me that youve got dinosaurs looking backwards running individual Police Forces<\/a> instead of looking forward because youve got the systemic elements of this but people only behave with systemic racism if they think the boss is not going to cone of them on it and tell them no you cannot do those things. Well i agree with that so yeah do a couple things one youve got to change the mentality of the leadership within the Police Department<\/a> and you are going to have other officers who say you know i dont care who the our suits are but what i want one of the things that weve seen a box more after freddy great you had all number of boxes called the Gun Trace Task<\/a> force their leadership are they decided to do it wanted to be based on bad knocks we have a situation where we have the Armed Services<\/a> we have the leadership understanding the change of the policy once you change the policy youre only taking one of the tool pulls out officers tool belt they can still use so many in his arsenal its a Community Policing<\/a> Community Policing<\/a> going out there to the Community Talking<\/a> to have the oxs talking and hear what the citizens want from their police not just the archos talking to the police but actually hear what the citizens are looking for from their police understanding who you are since are how they patrol understanding we want to keep this neighborhood is black clean and clear and this is why we want to keep it clear just because we have numbers of individuals driving past shooting this whether drugs are the gangs are located because you happen to be able to live in these communities many of which have been marginalized that really are just good people that want to walk outside their door where they live and the police out here. Pardon me for interrupting it there but thank you so much for talking to us we do appreciate your time. Thank you. Antiracism protesters both in the u. S. And the u. K. Are directing their anger at monuments linked to slavery and colonialism british protesters yesterday toppling the statue of a 17th century slave trader Edward Colston<\/a> they then dumped it into the harbor in the city of Brest Bristol<\/a> 2 or 300 miles west of london no he was part of the Royal African Company<\/a> that had a monopoly over the slave trade from west africa in the u. S. Statues of confederate heroes tumbling as well the 11 Southern States<\/a> fought in the American Civil War<\/a> to keep slavery alive last week protestors certified to the daughters of the confederacy building in the city of Richmond Virginia<\/a> capital of the confederacy the statue of the southern general William Wickham<\/a> was pulled a University Campus<\/a> in richmond on saturday not just protesters on thursday virginias governor announced plans to remove the statue of the confederate german general robert e. Lee and an alabama city officials removed a 120 year old monument from the city of mobile earlier i spoke to Patrick Vernon<\/a> whos a cultural historian and campaigner for the wind rush generation and also doug bando hes a senior fellow at the Cato Institute<\/a> i began by asking them both if ripping down statues is ok. Bristols were interesting because for a number of years camp campaigners. Groups have been raising the issue of that statue from the public debates have been online petitions the been the bates and the town hall and basically theres a lot of people frustrated by plans not to to it taken from seriously round listens to concerns around colson and his links to trade and the way he treated a lot of 100 fans of people on the plantations and slave ships so i think this was like the ultimate speech people there were im certain that this been taken a number of years for people to get to reconcile what caused the dead and loss leave the impacts of what happened over the weekend a lot people took into the hands the band the senior fellow at the Cato Institute<\/a> defacing and vandalizing a plane a statue of Winston Churchill<\/a> who was voted in 2002 by british people as the greatest britain who ever lived whats your take on that. Well the challenge here is that most historical figures are flawed churchill is one church played an extraordinary role in world war 2 his attitudes on colonialism the role of india and other issues were far less fashionable these days so its a complex legacy i think its fine to rethink history but its a reason it should be done legally it should be done thoughtfully you know confederate figures are all over the southern United States<\/a> it makes sense to change that because of a changing political system its 150. 00 or more years later now after that conflict but still almost any historical figure think of napoleon he plunged of the continent of europe into war hes still venerated you know by the french you know George Washington<\/a> americas 1st president was a slave owner you know so the flaws are manifest i think its dangerous to do this to have a crowd show up and take its own you know decision but some of these cases definitely should be rethought Patrick Vernon<\/a> when you were talking that so its about the statue in bristol coming thats the mold but its a mob mentality who decides what is acceptable and what is not acceptable and how it should be rewritten and interpreted. Well its interesting use the word mob was a mob but when the berlin wall came down niceness 9 i dont think so a lot of people saw that sign of liberation and you know what if you did the opinion poll a lot of black people britons would say you know what the symbolism of that statue had to go but as i said shoe that has been a process in bristol for many years for a little a process to get thats thats removed and people took a non hands with a quite good used the word mob this was you know that the button is built on slavery the history of britains got the slavery we dont have debates about this and then fire move the statue culson from the mental into the river then leads to a debate around the country that we have a now fix a good thing ok but nobody say for example is going to phone the government in cairo and say the pyramids were put up by 20000 hebrew slaves by the way start dismantling the pyramids thats not going to happen is it. After youve been so theres little cement ticks now theres a big difference i mean there was a big difference between someone like colston who through his empire and slave trading and you know the i mean the question around the whole debate around memorial is interesting because a lot of memorials are a lot of them are fans of projects face it so a lot of the statues in britain were actually paid by people due to probably sponsorship or public subscription and so if you made a lot of money and youre wealthy and your family once has once or have a statue thats what people symbolize its not about the real history its about symbolism of that history so often you have to offer you have to do on a case by case basis the make a generic generalization could it possibly be the tribalism nation of grassroots politics because it seems to me now that everyone can hide behind their twitter prove. Well they can hide behind what they say on instagram and or on facebook they can organize things like toppling a statue in bristol for example and there is an undertow a current which says youre either for us or against us and if we decide youre against us you are therefore and forever moving forwards part of the problem not part of the solution so why not just educate people and leave the statues in place if only as a reminder of what happened in the past and should never happen again well thats for nice you saying that but lets lets be real you know the reality is we have Structural Racism<\/a> in britain weve got the history of empire conversation which is country has never seriously had a proper debate and the level of chore so when you remove one historical figure empire the people get all jump jumpy about it and so how dare you its such you remember this guy colson one of the richest people in britain by the way made a lot of money fruiting slave much of my ancestors basically its right its should be left there what people have been doing the best for years after emphasise the charge to go for a peaceful process through public debates petitions information sharing translates to can have more details on the statues so people can know the true facts and figures but the fall it is ignored it some people chickens on hands for this lesson for the forest says if you ignore community. And feud nor sense of social injustice which they stalk and justice and you pretend that you are living this post racial britain may be more statues that might be removed the World Health Organization<\/a> says it will continue to work with and support the government of brazil in the fight against the coronavirus the World Health Organization<\/a> appeal to president also narrow to educate people about the virus and to report daily cases and deaths in a transparent manner. We will continue to support brazil and the people of brazil in their fight against in their fight against coal with it is though at the same time very important that the messages around transparency and sharing of information are consistent and that were able to rely on our partners in brazil to provide that information to us but more importantly to people to citizens they need to understand whats happening they need to understand where the virus is they need to know how to manage the risks to them and therefore we hope and we trust that any confusions that may exist at the moment can be resolved and that the government of brazil and the states can continue to communicate in a consistent and transparent way. Well more than 36000 people a known to have died from corona virus in brazil and as president. Continues to plague the seriousness of covert 19 people have come out to protest against his handling of the crisis and racism as a latin america editor and senior. Government opponents who had until now banged on pots and pans from their balconies came out onto the streets of sao paolo in large numbers to protest for the 1st time since the pandemic reached brazil their country now has the worlds 3rd highest death toll from culvert 19 but they defied their grim reality because their list of grievances is getting long. I came out despite the quarantine because i have to fight for all of us both scenario is a threat to democracy and our lives many use the occasion to also show their support for the black lives matter a bit. Of both an aura doesnt care about black lives 54 percent of brazilians are black and where the ones being hardest hit by covert and poverty thats why he does nothing. But the strongest message was against what Many Brazilians<\/a> see as an attempt by their president and his supporters to subvert Democratic Institutions<\/a> especially the Supreme Court<\/a> which also not all threatens to shut down. Both sonora is a fascist and i dont want this country to turn into a dictatorship i already lived through that some brazilians i asked former brazilian and vassar to washington and the un rubins we could put all if described in poso novel as a fascist was perhaps going too far here. All 3. He did that and. Using what. He. Called in the military. In Rio De Janeiro<\/a> a group of bull so narrow supporters ridiculed his opponents calling them the anti fast or anti fascists meanwhile the president went out to greet his followers without a face mask as hes been doing every sunday. Bill scenario says he wants to arm brazilians to defend the country from internal enemies he has also named a retired military officer one of 3000 hes placed in civilian jobs as acting health minister. With the pandemic a deep economic recession and a political crisis all in high gear opponents are betting the time is on their side as long as brazils Democratic Institutions<\/a> can withstand the test you see in human aljazeera time for sports news. Thank you very much tyson fear is world title rematch against the wilder could happen later this year macau the island is known as the last vegas of asia and furious promoter bob am says a staging the fight at their with a Live Audience<\/a> is a possibility in 8 year old that made the comments with his promotion set to stage an empty arena event in las vegas on tuesday is the citys 1st box in show since march following a corner virus in just haters also refused to rule out the possibility of wilder fury 3 happening in the u. S. We have. Tyson fury with. Wilder we hope to do that play November December<\/a> whether its florians limited audience in the United States<\/a> or not of him. In macau which may be all. For fools who are reading this as early as november. You know were a sure thing all our options English Premier League<\/a> champions Manchester City<\/a> are hoping for a big win in the courtroom as they aim to overturn a 2 year ban from European Competition<\/a> earlier this year footballs european governing body us a fine city guilty of breaking financial rules the doubly owned club has taken its appeal to the court of arbitration of sport which is basis switzerland the hearing is scheduled to last 3 days with no verdict expected until next month at the earliest while you have a claim city overstated the size of some sponsorship deals so to get round us as a financial fair play rules the rules are designed to ensure clubs dont spend more than they earn city have rejected the charges they failed to cooperate with investigators and believe the process wasnt impartial if the appeal fails the city will be banned from playing in any European Competition<\/a>s for the next 2 seasons and could lose more than 250000000. 00 in revenue. Or is the most severe penalty any European Club<\/a> has received for financial fall sports lawyer kevin carpenter says city feel theyre being singled out. Its certainly true that manager city feel that they have been targeted by u. A. E. For this and that they dont have a particularly Good Relationship<\/a> with that anyway. And i dont really agree with the whole system in the fact that it kind of entrenches the existing plops but the fact remains that the rules are there and they they signed up to take part in the competition on the basis of those regulations i mean even if they do lose on the grounds of the heliport board they will undoubtedly say well in any case this is a disproportionate sanction. But i think in their submissions will rely heavily on this attitude in the locker corp in the proceedings which really really riled them i mean ultimately as far as im concerned the regulations are not really about that way its all theyre about financial sustainability. That is a laudable a in and given the restrictions of the rule or in turn go to impose anything stricter than what we already have then i think you wait for a bomb that best in within the Legal Environment<\/a> theyre working in but certainly if this were to go against them i think the football stakeholders involved in you a fool would start to have serious doubts about really what is the point in having this system at all and they would have to go back to square one part.
