[00:01:05] League's financial rules. Hello,
[00:01:16] Hello, I'm Annita McVeigh, welcome welcome to the programme. Let's start
[00:01:18] start with a major escalation in in the Middle East conflict. Saudi
[00:01:21] Saudi Arabia says a Houthi missile missile attack at Riyadh's international
[00:01:25] international airport has killed killed 12 people and injured more
[00:01:28] more than 300. We've received these these pictures from inside the airport
[00:01:32] airport terminal. Reports say there there was a missile strike on one
[00:01:35] one of the airport gates. It's the the deadliest attack on Saudi soil
[00:01:39] soil in more than a decade. The Saudi Saudi authorities are calling it
[00:01:42] it a war crime and have promised
[00:01:44] promised a forceful response. The The airport has been closed and hundreds
[00:01:48] hundreds of flights have been cancelled cancelled or diverted for the second
[00:01:52] second time in less than a month. month. Schools in Riyadh have switched
[00:01:54] switched to remote learning for the the week. The UK Foreign Office has
[00:01:58] has told British nationals to stay stay away until the airport is secure,
[00:02:02] secure, with similar warnings from from a number of other countries.
[00:02:05] countries. The strike has been condemned condemned by the United Nations Secretary
[00:02:09] Secretary General and by President President Trump, who's indicated
[00:02:12] indicated the US may join the Saudis Saudis campaign against the Iranian
[00:02:16] Iranian backed Houthis. Well, you're you're going to find out, Steve,
[00:02:20] Steve, but I think it's terrible. terrible. Well, they're able to defend. defend. Look, the Saudis are good
[00:02:24] good fighters. But I think the attack attack was a terrible thing. What
[00:02:27] What happened in Saudi Arabia is
[00:02:30] is not acceptable. Thank you. Our
[00:02:32] Our correspondent in Jerusalem, Jon Jon Donnison, explains why this escalation
[00:02:35] escalation is happening. Well. Of Of course, the civil war in Yemen
[00:02:39] Yemen has been going on for more
[00:02:40] more than a decade between the Saudi
[00:02:43] Saudi backed, internationally recognised recognised government and the Houthis,
[00:02:46] Houthis, who are supported by Iran. Iran. But in recent weeks, the Houthis
[00:02:50] Houthis have stepped up their attacks attacks against Saudi Arabia. And
[00:02:54] And this is certainly the deadliest
[00:02:55] deadliest single attack on a Gulf
[00:02:58] Gulf Arab state since the conflict conflict between the United States,
[00:03:02] States, Israel and Iran started back back in February. And they're doing
[00:03:06] doing that. I guess it all folds
[00:03:09] folds into the conflict between the the United States, Israel and Iran.
[00:03:13] Iran. And it is a way that the Iranians,
[00:03:17] Iranians, I guess, can open another
[00:03:19] another front and put pressure on
[00:03:22] on the United States to try and get get a better deal. They've been trying
[00:03:26] trying to negotiate a deal to bring bring an end to that conflict. And
[00:03:30] And by escalating this one, I guess
[00:03:32] guess it is another means of exerting exerting pressure. So what's the
[00:03:36] the likely impact then, John, on
[00:03:37] on the wider region? Well, already
[00:03:43] already there are fears that the
[00:03:45] the United States and Israel might
[00:03:48] might be about to resume strikes
[00:03:50] strikes against Iran. President Trump Trump has said he is going to do
[00:03:53] do that, resume the war on a full-scale
[00:03:57] full-scale after the upcoming mid-term mid-term elections in November, which
[00:04:00] which is just a few weeks' time. time. There is even speculation that
[00:04:04] that as America moves, more forces forces to the Gulf at the moment,
[00:04:07] moment, another carrier heading that that way that it could happen before
[00:04:10] before that. And I guess, you know, know, when you get something like
[00:04:14] like this, 12 people killed at least
[00:04:16] least 300 plus injured. You've got
[00:04:19] got hospitals in the Saudi capital
[00:04:20] capital overwhelmed. It is just another
[00:04:23] another bit of tension going into into a region which is already on
[00:04:27] on a knife edge. Really. And has has there been any specific response
[00:04:31] response from Israel? John? Not that
[00:04:35] that I've seen so far this morning,
[00:04:38] morning, but there is a real appetite
[00:04:41] appetite within Israel to continue
[00:04:43] continue the war with Iran. That
[00:04:47] That is something that under pressure,
[00:04:49] pressure, Israel stepped back from from the United States clearly wanted
[00:04:53] wanted to de-escalate, do a deal deal because of the damage that conflict
[00:04:55] conflict was doing on the global global economy. We've not had any
[00:04:59] any specific statement from Israel
[00:05:01] Israel this morning that I've seen.
[00:05:04] seen. But obviously Israel in the
[00:05:06] the last years and months has sustained
[00:05:09] sustained direct attacks from the the Houthis firing towards Israel.
[00:05:13] Israel. We're going to have to wait wait and see if there is any response,
[00:05:16] response, be it verbally or in militarily
[00:05:20] militarily from the Israelis. Jon Jon Donnison reporting the deadliest
[00:05:23] deadliest strike on Saudi soil in
[00:05:25] in more than a decade comes as energy energy ministers from the world's
[00:05:28] world's oil and gas producing countries countries are due to meet in Riyadh
[00:05:32] Riyadh for the International Energy
[00:05:33] Energy Forum. John Sfakianakis chief
[00:05:36] chief economist and head of economic economic research at the Gulf Research
[00:05:40] Research Centre, is in Riyadh and and told me about the mood there
[00:05:43] there following the airport attack.
[00:05:45] attack. Well, of course the mood
[00:05:48] mood for several days now has been
[00:05:50] been one of angst and concern because
[00:05:54] because Houthi attacks have been
[00:05:55] been taking place throughout Riyadh.
[00:05:58] Riyadh. The city has been under alert
[00:06:01] alert for several days. In fact,
[00:06:03] fact, for several weeks now. Because
[00:06:06] Because the drones and rockets have
[00:06:08] have been coming in. Fortunately
[00:06:10] Fortunately not hitting any civilians,
[00:06:13] civilians, but this time at the airport, airport, we had some horrible news,
[00:06:16] news, as we've seen. So the mood
[00:06:19] mood is one of concern and how there there is going to be resolution if
[00:06:23] if this is going to escalate. Unfortunately, Unfortunately, everybody kind of
[00:06:26] of thinks that this is going to get
[00:06:29] get worse. And you know, let's see
[00:06:31] see where we go with this. But it's
[00:06:33] it's a horrible news that at the
[00:06:36] the airport, a lot of, you know, know, people have died. And this
[00:06:40] this is not the first time that we've we've seen attacks on the airport
[00:06:43] airport itself. Yeah. And Saudi Arabia's Arabia's Vision 2030 strategy is
[00:06:46] is all about. Well, in part about about diversifying the economy. But
[00:06:50] But clearly oil remains a really,
[00:06:52] really, really significant part of
[00:06:54] of that with these Houthi attacks attacks both in the capital and then
[00:06:58] then what they're doing on the Red
[00:07:00] Red Sea coast impeding Saudi Arabia's
[00:07:04] Arabia's ability to export oil. What What does that doing to the economy?
[00:07:06] economy? What does that mean for
[00:07:08] for Saudi Arabia? Well, of course,
[00:07:11] course, Saudi Arabia has been Readdressing
[00:07:15] Readdressing vision 2030 prior to
[00:07:17] to the attacks and prior to the February
[00:07:19] February war. So that is something something very important to note.
[00:07:23] note. But of course that will have have an impact. All of this will
[00:07:26] will have an impact on Saudi Arabia's
[00:07:29] Arabia's image and view. And of course,
[00:07:31] course, tourism as whenever we see see an attack in other parts of the
[00:07:35] the Gulf, be it in the UAE, Qatar,
[00:07:38] Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait that has an
[00:07:41] an impact on the GCC, the Gulf's Gulf's credibility. So I would say
[00:07:45] say that yes, there would have to to stay take a step back and see
[00:07:49] see how is this diversification taking
[00:07:51] taking shape? But obviously that that has to be addressed at a later
[00:07:55] later stage because now they need need to deal with the Houthis. And
[00:07:57] And I think the US will have to step step in and I believe they will step
[00:08:01] step in to help Saudi Arabia. And And John, finally and briefly, what
[00:08:04] what do you think this winter will will bring in terms of energy supplies
[00:08:08] supplies and prices and how does
[00:08:11] does the US., Russia diesel deal
[00:08:12] deal fit into all of this? Absolutely.
[00:08:16] Absolutely. I think the Russia deal
[00:08:18] deal is is a deal, but it's not going
[00:08:21] going to be making a dent in the the international market. Even in
[00:08:24] in the US market. It's not going going to make a dent. I'll give you
[00:08:27] you an example. The US consumes about
[00:08:30] about 4 million barrels of diesel diesel and Russia the Russia deal
[00:08:34] deal is going to provide about 2 2 to 3 million barrels of diesel
[00:08:38] diesel per month. So that in itself itself is not going to solve the
[00:08:41] the problem. I think it will be the
[00:08:43] the resolution of the war. As President
[00:08:46] President Trump said, and stoppage stoppage of the attacks on Russian
[00:08:50] Russian refineries, but also and
[00:08:52] and more significantly, find a solution
[00:08:54] solution to the Gulf crisis, the the war, the Strait of Hormuz and
[00:08:58] and opening up of the Bab al-Mandab. al-Mandab. So there has to be more
[00:09:01] more of a step in from the US to
[00:09:03] to find a holistic solution to the
[00:09:05] the end of all this so we can have
[00:09:08] have crude oil coming out of the
[00:09:10] the region. John Sfakianakis there.
[00:09:13] there. Well, Ukraine has continued continued to target Russian infrastructure
[00:09:16] infrastructure with another drone drone attack on a data centre belonging
[00:09:19] belonging to the Russian tech giant
[00:09:21] giant Yandex operations at the facility facility in Vladimir to the east
[00:09:24] east of Moscow have been completely completely halted. The strike comes
[00:09:28] comes after President Trump accused accused Volodymyr Zelensky of prolonging
[00:09:31] prolonging the war, and said it was was time for Ukraine to elect a new
[00:09:34] new leader. Mr Trump appeared to
[00:09:37] to blame President Zelensky for the the diesel crisis, adding that he'd
[00:09:41] he'd quote better damn well stop
[00:09:43] stop attacking Russian oil refineries. refineries. Downing Street says Andy
[00:09:47] Andy Burnham has spoken to President President Zelensky to reiterate the
[00:09:50] the UK's support for Ukraine in its
[00:09:53] its war with Russia. Joe Inwood reports.
[00:09:58] reports. It is a slow and painful
[00:10:01] painful process. Buried under the
[00:10:05] the rubble of their apartment is
[00:10:07] is Yana, Anton and the body of their their daughter Liza. At least 12
[00:10:11] 12 people are now thought to have have been killed in a single Russian
[00:10:15] Russian strike in Zaporizhzhia. At
[00:10:16] At least three were children. May
[00:10:22] May all Russians die. Anatoly says
[00:10:24] says as he digests the news of the the death of his granddaughter. Much
[00:10:28] Much of Russia's war on places like like Zaporizhzhia has been funded
[00:10:31] funded by the sale of oil and gas. gas. Diesel is at the centre of a
[00:10:35] a major diplomatic row. That's a a war that should have never started.
[00:10:38] started. And I think it's time for for Ukraine to get a new president.
[00:10:42] president. It started with the announcement announcement that President Trump
[00:10:44] Trump had done a deal with Vladimir
[00:10:46] Vladimir Putin that would see about about 100,000 barrels a day enter
[00:10:50] enter the global market. That was was met with disbelief in Ukraine
[00:10:54] Ukraine and anger from President
[00:10:58] President Zelensky. All that money
[00:11:00] money goes towards the war against against people, against Ukraine,
[00:11:04] Ukraine, against all of us. In my my view, this is a weak decision.
[00:11:08] decision. Unfortunately, a weak decision
[00:11:10] decision by strong partners. The
[00:11:14] The United States is currently seeing seeing record diesel prices and growing
[00:11:18] growing voter anger ahead of crucial crucial mid-term elections. Many
[00:11:22] Many blame President Trump and his his war with Iran for the rising
[00:11:25] rising costs they're seeing at the the pumps. But he said that the real
[00:11:29] real cause of the problem were these
[00:11:33] these Ukrainian strikes on Russian Russian oil facilities for Ukraine.
[00:11:37] Ukraine. They've been a key part
[00:11:38] part of their military strategy for
[00:11:41] for President Trump, a cause of his
[00:11:43] his problems. He wants to make problems
[00:11:45] problems for our farmers, our ranchers
[00:11:48] ranchers with diesel fuel because
[00:11:50] because Russia supplies a large portion portion of the diesel fuel throughout
[00:11:53] throughout the world. You're in no no position to dictate. For more
[00:11:57] more than a year, President Zelensky Zelensky has been carefully and it
[00:12:01] it seemed successfully rebuilding rebuilding his relationship with
[00:12:03] with Donald Trump left at rock bottom bottom by this notorious bust-up.
[00:12:06] bust-up. Seems much of that has been
[00:12:09] been undone while undoubtedly falling falling Russian exports have played
[00:12:13] played a role, the real cause of
[00:12:14] of the rising cost of diesel lies
[00:12:17] lies here in the Strait of Hormuz
[00:12:19] Hormuz and in the war with Iran. Iran. The consequences of the failure
[00:12:23] failure to end that war continue
[00:12:25] continue to ripple around the world.
[00:12:29] world. Joe Inwood, BBC News. Some
[00:12:32] Some breaking news now from Nepal Nepal and the authorities there have
[00:12:36] have called for the evacuation of
[00:12:37] of villages on the banks of the Gandaki Gandaki River after severe flooding
[00:12:41] flooding in the centre of the country.
[00:12:43] country. Nepali officials say they've they've rescued 24 people from areas
[00:12:47] areas affected by the flash flood, flood, which has washed away bridges
[00:12:50] bridges and damaged a hydropower hydropower facility. Five people
[00:12:54] people are missing. It's believed believed the flash flood was caused
[00:12:57] caused by a landslide. Upstream, Upstream, the country remains on
[00:13:00] on high alert after devastating floods floods swept thousands of people
[00:13:04] people away seven weeks ago and to
[00:13:07] to India now with the leader of the
[00:13:09] the Cockroach protest movement has has been released from detention.
[00:13:12] detention. It comes as police in in Delhi say they'll restrict access
[00:13:15] access to the city centre as the the party threatens another day of
[00:13:19] of protests against revisions to to the electoral roll. The Cockroach
[00:13:23] Cockroach Janta Party said its founder founder Abhijeet Dipke, who began
[00:13:26] began the movement in May after India's
[00:13:29] India's chief justice likened some some jobless young people to cockroaches,
[00:13:33] cockroaches, was detained with other other leaders shortly after landing
[00:13:36] landing in Delhi. The Cjp and other
[00:13:38] other opposition parties are calling calling for the election commissioner
[00:13:41] commissioner to be sacked over revisions revisions to the electoral roll,
[00:13:44] roll, an accusation denied by the the authorities. Arunoday Mukharji
[00:13:48] Mukharji is our correspondent in in Delhi and sent this update. You're
[00:13:52] You're still seeing sites like these. these. You're seeing big barricades
[00:13:56] barricades in key areas leading to to parts of central Delhi. This is
[00:13:59] is a key road which is going in, in, but this is shut. You can see
[00:14:02] see the traffic can move from there there into other parts of Delhi.
[00:14:06] Delhi. But this is barricaded. If If I could just show you there's
[00:14:10] there's a paramilitary presence. presence. These are central forces forces who have also been brought
[00:14:13] brought in to boost the Delhi Police's Police's presence. But if you look
[00:14:16] look here, it looks like any other other day in Delhi you've got a lot
[00:14:19] lot of traffic. And this is also also a glimpse of what other parts parts of Delhi look like. While central
[00:14:23] central Delhi continues to be seeing seeing a significant police presence
[00:14:27] presence because the point is that
[00:14:29] that they're still expecting protests protests in sort of impromptu protests,
[00:14:33] protests, as we've seen yesterday. yesterday. So what we saw a lot throughout
[00:14:37] throughout yesterday was people, people, wherever they could find find a place to sort of congregate
[00:14:40] congregate and gather, they would would start protesting before the the police would take them away in
[00:14:44] in different vans. The entire intention intention of the police yesterday
[00:14:47] yesterday was to try and stop them, them, intercept them wherever they
[00:14:50] they could so they could not go towards towards the intended place of protest.
[00:14:54] protest. This is again just the other other road. As you can see, you've
[00:14:57] you've got a heavy police presence. presence. Paramilitary forces as as well. You've got the Delhi Police
[00:15:00] Police as well. You can see the difference difference in the uniforms, which
[00:15:02] which also gives you a sense of the the combination of forces that really
[00:15:06] really has been brought in. You've You've got signs there as well talking
[00:15:09] talking about restrictions behind behind are the forces you can see.
[00:15:13] see. So essentially this is a reminder reminder that the issue has certainly
[00:15:16] certainly not died down. And we're we're expecting the Cockroach Janta
[00:15:20] Janta Party to outline their next next strategy at a press conference
[00:15:23] conference that's been called in, in, say, the next two hours or so,
[00:15:26] so, that news of a press conference conference came in shortly after
[00:15:28] after news came of the release of
[00:15:30] of Abhijeet Dipke and the two other other senior faces of the Cockroach
[00:15:34] Cockroach Janta Party. What they they do next is going to be the real real question. Now the Delhi Police
[00:15:38] Police says all those who were detained detained to the tune of about 2000
[00:15:41] 2000 a little more have now been been released and they have continued
[00:15:44] continued to justify saying that
[00:15:47] that they had to ensure that security security is maintained. Safety is is maintained in Delhi, but they've
[00:15:51] they've also come in for criticism criticism from the people who've
[00:15:53] who've been trying to protest, saying saying that this is essentially an
[00:15:56] an attempt to trample their fundamental fundamental right to protest. Aruna
[00:16:00] Aruna Iyengar in about 30s, if you
[00:16:03] you would, our viewers may remember
[00:16:05] remember that the Education Minister
[00:16:08] Minister resigned over the exam leak leak scandal, and that was after
[00:16:11] after protests by the Cockroach Janta Janta Party. So do they feel that that they are on to something here
[00:16:15] here that they can really affect
[00:16:17] affect political change? Because
[00:16:21] Because they were able to put considerable considerable pressure in those protests protests the last time and force
[00:16:24] force the government to go ahead ahead and sack the education minister.
[00:16:27] minister. They tasted success. So So they're hoping that if they can
[00:16:30] can build similar momentum, similar similar pressure, they could yield yield results because they've managed
[00:16:34] managed to do that once. They need need to figure out if they can do do it again. But in this case, the
[00:16:38] the government seems to be in no no mood to relent. The Election Commission Commission has denied all charges
[00:16:41] charges of any kind of alleged irregularities, irregularities, and the BJP, which
[00:16:45] which is currently in power in India,
[00:16:48] India, has also said that this essentially
[00:16:51] essentially these protests by opposition opposition parties are politically politically motivated and they're
[00:16:54] they're just trying to create an
[00:16:56] an anarchic situation in the country. country. Arunoday Mukharji in Delhi,
[00:17:00] Delhi, at least four people have have died in the southeastern United
[00:17:03] United States after a hurricane battered battered the Gulf Coast, bringing
[00:17:06] bringing torrential rain. More than than 500,000 homes were left without

[00:17:42] Colima and Jalisco have been warned warned that eight metre waves could
[00:17:45] could bring storm surges and flooding. flooding. People have been boarding
[00:17:48] boarding up homes and businesses businesses ahead of its arrival.
[00:17:52] arrival. Simon is the latest in a a busy hurricane season in the Pacific,
[00:17:55] Pacific, where the powerful El Nino Nino ocean warming phenomenon is
[00:17:59] is allowing the storms to gain in
[00:18:01] in strength. And our lead weather weather presenter Matt Taylor is
[00:18:04] is with me. So Matt, I know that that you are keeping a very close
[00:18:07] close watch on what's happening with with Hurricane Simon. Just tell us
[00:18:11] us exactly where it is right now now and remind us of how big it is.
[00:18:14] is. This is an exceptionally powerful powerful storm. As you said, it's it's a category four. Hurricanes
[00:18:18] Hurricanes are measured on a scale scale of 1 to 5. This is right at
[00:18:21] at the top end of four. So one of of the most powerful hurricanes you
[00:18:24] you can get winds gusting sustained sustained winds I should say 250km
[00:18:28] 250km an hour. It's 155 miles an
[00:18:30] an hour. But gusts way stronger than than that. Let me just show you satellite
[00:18:34] satellite imagery of where that is is at the moment. You can just see
[00:18:37] see that really well defined eye.
[00:18:38] eye. It's around that we've got the
[00:18:41] the strongest of the winds. Now it's it's getting closer and closer to
[00:18:44] to the Mexican coast. There is a a Pacific coast, sorry, the Pacific
[00:18:47] Pacific and the Pacific side, but but it's going to we're not quite
[00:18:51] quite sure where it's going to make make an exact landfall or if it's it's just going to track parallel
[00:18:54] parallel to the coast for a little little bit longer. What that will
[00:18:57] will do will have a greater impact impact on keeping the winds stronger
[00:19:00] stronger for longer along that coastal
[00:19:02] coastal strip and a greater emphasis emphasis of coastal flooding keep
[00:19:05] keep on piling the waters up along along that coastal strip just to
[00:19:09] to the east of that hurricane core. core. It's also going to be piling
[00:19:13] piling rain in over a very mountainous mountainous region around Colima,
[00:19:16] Colima, and also across the storm
[00:19:19] storm itself. Just show you the track track is going to move its way eastwards. eastwards. As I said, we think parallel
[00:19:23] parallel to the coast it may just just make landfall, but piling in
[00:19:26] in the rain as well. And along these these districts along the coast we
[00:19:29] we see the white colours there. We We could see as much as 30in, 750mm
[00:19:33] 750mm of rain in the space of a short short space of time on mountainous mountainous ground. That's a real
[00:19:37] real risk for life threatening mudslides mudslides and of course, flash flooding.
[00:19:40] flooding. Yes, big, big worries about about the possibility of flooding.
[00:19:44] flooding. Well, the almost certainly certainly the flooding and those
[00:19:47] those deadly mudslides which we've we've seen in the past with hurricanes.
[00:19:50] hurricanes. And then we've also been been looking at Isaias, haven't we,
[00:19:53] we, which is in the United States.
[00:19:55] States. And tell us where it is now.
[00:19:58] now. Well, Isaias the centre of what
[00:20:00] what was that is now across Tennessee Tennessee crossing into Kentucky
[00:20:03] Kentucky as well. So just show you you the radar chart though, because because you've taken it away from
[00:20:07] from the warm waters of the Gulf
[00:20:09] Gulf of Mexico. You've got it just just fragmented, broken up. You can
[00:20:12] can see there's batches of rain. rain. There are flash flood warnings
[00:20:15] warnings out across parts of North North and South Carolina, but that
[00:20:18] that whole system is moving its way way eastwards, not going to cause cause too much issues other than
[00:20:22] than some heavy rain for a time, time, including New York, Washington Washington and also Philadelphia.
[00:20:25] Philadelphia. OK, Matt, thank you
[00:20:26] you very much for that update. Matt
[00:20:29] Matt Taylor now Manchester City travel travel to Anfield later to play the
[00:20:33] the for the first time since the the club was found guilty of breaching
[00:20:35] breaching the Premier League's financial financial rules, their opponents, opponents, Liverpool are one of the
[00:20:39] the clubs that feel aggrieved over over their losses during the season's
[00:20:43] season's in question. And joining joining me now are two Manchester
[00:20:46] Manchester City fans, Vivian Paterson
[00:20:48] Paterson and Niall Webb. Welcome Welcome to you both. Great to have
[00:20:52] have you with us Niall. I know that that you are going to the game and
[00:20:55] and Vivian you're going to be watching watching from home. And I want to
[00:20:58] to ask you both how you feel ahead
[00:21:02] ahead of this game given all of the the controversy there's been around
[00:21:05] around the club. Vivian, I'll begin
[00:21:08] begin with you. Well I feel. Morning.
[00:21:10] Morning. Good morning. How are you?
[00:21:12] you? I have mixed emotions as a fan
[00:21:17] fan and but I'm watching it to support
[00:21:20] support the team and the players
[00:21:23] players and whatever goes out around around happens in the background.
[00:21:26] background. It doesn't bother me. me. I'm there to support my the players.
[00:21:30] players. OK. And Niall, same question question to you. Yeah, yeah, we've
[00:21:34] we've been here before haven't we?
[00:21:37] we? Obviously going to the game. game. It'll be just one of defiance
[00:21:40] defiance for myself and I think a a lot of the city fans, I think we
[00:21:43] we need to get behind the team. It's It's been a difficult time for the
[00:21:46] the club but we've been through more more difficult times. You know, looking
[00:21:49] looking back to the late 90s when when we were in administration and
[00:21:52] and the club nearly went bust, you you know, Manchester City have been
[00:21:55] been in tough times before for people
[00:21:57] people who didn't know that before. Yeah. I mean, I get what
[00:22:01] what you're saying that there have have been tough times before, but but when you say we've been here
[00:22:04] here before, not quite like this
[00:22:06] this now obviously the club has been
[00:22:08] been found guilty of more than 100
[00:22:11] 100 breaches of the Premier League's League's financial regulations. The
[00:22:14] The club says it's innocent and as
[00:22:16] as we've been reporting, is appealing appealing those verdicts. But it's
[00:22:20] it's not quite the same as previous previous times, is it, Niall? No
[00:22:23] No it's not. It's unprecedented what's what's happening at the moment. It's
[00:22:27] It's a confusing time for us as a
[00:22:29] a fan. It's confusing because on on the one hand you've got Manchester
[00:22:32] Manchester City are absolutely adamant adamant that they are innocent until
[00:22:36] until proven well. They have been been proven guilty by the independent
[00:22:39] independent commission. But until until the appeals come out, which
[00:22:42] which is going to be another three three and a half months yet, we're
[00:22:45] we're going to have to sit tight. tight. But I think as a Man City
[00:22:48] City fan today, you've just got to to get behind the team, get behind
[00:22:52] behind the club because there is is going to be a barrage from Liverpool
[00:22:55] Liverpool today and we've been called
[00:22:57] called cheats for a long time. We've We've been from opposition fans but
[00:23:00] but it's going to be on a different different spectrum today and we.
[00:23:03] we. This is the time to just get get behind the players because it's
[00:23:06] it's not their fault. Vian we are
[00:23:09] are as Niall was suggesting, expecting expecting the Liverpool fans to absolutely
[00:23:13] absolutely make themselves heard heard today. Do you get where they're
[00:23:16] they're coming from? Do you get what what where they're coming from their
[00:23:20] their position? There's been reports reports about that. They're going
[00:23:23] going to actually attack the Man
[00:23:26] Man City bus and the police are on
[00:23:29] on high alert because of this. Well, Well, we don't know obviously where
[00:23:32] where those reports are coming from. from. But obviously there would be
[00:23:35] be a lot of security around a high high profile game. The security like
[00:23:39] like this, a person who works in in security, the security is going
[00:23:42] going to be very heightened. And
[00:23:46] And do you get weather? Do you get get where the Liverpool fans are
[00:23:48] are coming from though in terms of
[00:23:50] of the sense of they feel aggrieved aggrieved because they're wondering
[00:23:53] wondering whether any of this could could have had an impact on previous
[00:23:56] previous seasons in which they were were playing and in contention for
[00:24:00] for titles? Yes, they are. They are
[00:24:03] are very annoyed and I think they're they're going to make themselves
[00:24:06] themselves heard today. The Man City
[00:24:09] City fans are all going with bananas
[00:24:13] bananas two and a field today. It's
[00:24:16] It's a tradition that they've done
[00:24:19] done since the late 1980s and they
[00:24:23] they really want to support their
[00:24:24] their club. And Niall, how do you
[00:24:27] you think the players will handle handle the scrutiny today? Because
[00:24:30] Because yes, they're used to high high pressure situations. Of course
[00:24:33] course they are. But do you think
[00:24:37] think there will be extra pressure pressure on them today? Listen, if
[00:24:41] if you look at the two teams Liverpool Liverpool and Manchester City, Manchester
[00:24:44] Manchester City have got the better better team. They've got the better better quality in the team. If Manchester
[00:24:47] Manchester City turn up today and and quiet the crowd down by their
[00:24:50] their quality and play them off the the park, that is all the players
[00:24:53] players can do. The fans can sing, sing, get behind the team but the
[00:24:57] the players on the pitch today are are key to quieting down that Liverpool
[00:25:00] Liverpool crowd because they've saved
[00:25:01] saved city go 2 or 3 nil up, then
[00:25:05] then I don't think there will be. be. I think it'll just be a very, very, very quiet Anfield. Apart from
[00:25:09] from the city fans. But it is down down to the players in pressure.
[00:25:12] pressure. You know situation. They They will prepare for this and know
[00:25:15] know the team are back at the training training ground on Thursday. Enzo
[00:25:19] Enzo Maresca had a meeting with the the players to try and get them prepared.
[00:25:22] prepared. He came out with his press press conference on Friday saying saying that the players are ready
[00:25:25] ready for this and he's ready for for this and it's business as usual
[00:25:29] usual within the club until the appeal appeal comes out. So that's the way
[00:25:32] way that the club have got to approach approach it because we've had a magnificent magnificent start to the season and
[00:25:36] and I hope that continues today.
[00:25:38] today. OK. Niall Webb and Vivian Vivian Patterson, thank you both
[00:25:41] both very much for your time. Very
[00:25:43] Very welcome. Thank you very much. much. Cheers for having me. Now let's
