What they said, as you say, in their statement is basically that hes intentionally seeking to receive a card for the purposes of affecting the betting markets in those games in orderfor one or more persons to profit from betting on most matches. That is absolutely prohibited under Football Association regulations. In addition, the fa are saying that hes not complied with another rule, which is to provide information to supply documents, which is contrary to paquetas own denial, in which he said hes cooperated for nine months. Theres a discrepancy, but that is essentially what paqueta has been charged with. Simon, this potentially huge. Weve heard of spot fixing in cricket. This is obviously an allegation, but if this is in football and spot fixing in the Premier League, this is huge. Absolutely, and as i say, paqueta denies it, so weve got to give due process. Hes got to supply a written response by the 3rd Ofjune Ironically after that, hes due to play for brazil in copa america. He is
Theres a discrepancy, but that is essentially what paqueta has been charged with. Simon, this potentially huge. Weve heard of spot fixing in cricket. This is obviously an allegation, but if this is in football and spot fixing in the Premier League, this is huge. Absolutely, and as i say, paqueta denies it, so weve got to give due process. Hes got to supply a written response by the 3rd Ofjune Ironically after that, hes due to play for brazil in copa america. He is a very high profile Football Player and someone that Manchester City will try to sign at this point all last summer, basically and then pulled out when the charges came to light.

In milton keynes, i met will, whos a fireman, and he has a simple dream, not an unreasonable dream. He wants to own his own home. Hes got two extra jobs on top of being a fireman, but he still cant afford it because the chaos and division of this government has robbed him of that dream. That is the price that he is paying. Sir keir starmer spent about all those supporters with banners saying change. Strategists always say during a campaign to have a simple message and keep repeating it until voters buy it and then do it some more. Im sure over the next six weeks that is how it is going to play out. More in a moment or two, i hope to speak to laura trott from the conservatives in the next little while but why dont we pause and catch up with some of the Sports Headlines of the day. Lets cross. Hello there. Thank
Profit from betting on those matches. That is absolutely prohibited underfootball association regulations. Meanwhile, west ham have officially appointed Julen Lopategui as their new manager.

You are watching the context. Now its time for europe votes 202a. Elections in the uk, elections in the European Union. Two weeks today, 400 Million People across europe will vote to elect their representatives to the European Parliament. They will choose 720 politicians from 27 countries in what many people consider the most pivotal vote the European Union has staged since members were first elected in 1979. And by the end ofjuly, there will be new parliaments in both the eu and uk, with implications for both sides, for those negotiations post brexit, and in a whole range of areas. Most notably security, migration and trade. Now, for those who dont follow politics in brussels, you should know there are the institutions involved in the legislative process. There is the european commission, that shapes policy, the parliament, directly elected, that debates and vote on those bills, and the council of european leaders, that have an equal say in what is adopted.
