How are you doing? I'm very well. Thank you Just before we start I'd like to ask you about the junior cherries open training session which took place Early this month. What was it like to be involved in that? It must have been great to see all those smiling faces Yeah, it was really good. You know, I think in football you got to enjoy those experiences because You know kids will come away from that loving it and yeah, it's always nice to have people watching training as well Typical that it would first time it would rain for months and months as well. Oh, yeah, it was heavy rain as well Now we're gonna take you back to the very very start Kiefer Roberto Francisco Moore was born in Torquay In August 1992. We know that you were named after Kiefer Sutherland the British and Canadian actor. Tell us about those two other names. Where did where did they come about? So I had a Uncle he sadly passed away when he was very young. So his middle names were Roberto Francisco. So My mum wanted to you know, keep that going and keep the spirit of my uncle alive So she give she passed on to myself and who was the where did Kiefer come from was that mum or dad? Were they a fan of Kiefer Sutherland? You know what? I'm not I'm not really sure. I just I think I do remember my mom Maybe saying like it was from Kiefer Sutherland, but then kind of thinking looking back I don't know how old he would have been then or so I'm not particularly sure but I think You know my my brother's name is Aston my sister's names Natalia So we've got quite extravagant names. I would say after what you've done here We're gonna have mums and dads are gonna be naming their kids Kiefer I think after you Anyway back to it Neil now used to Regularly holiday in Torquay. He had his own bar stall I believe at the Palace Hotel until it got demolished Now tell us about your upbringing on the English Riviera to put it in Neil's words Yeah, it was amazing. You know, I was had a great childhood You know, I'm very fortunate to to live down there. It is There's next to no crime If you're quite like an outdoorsy person or you you love to be out and about it's It's perfect. This I wouldn't say there's that much to do when you when you grow up But as a kid, it's it's everything you wish and and more you can go down jump in the sea. Just It's it's got everything and tell us about how you found your way into the Torquay youth ranks So I was playing local football at that point And it was so I played for like the I think it was the county just before that and I Got the Trial for the I think it's sent sent her of excellence at that time So yeah, obviously I would didn't turn it down went there and yeah, so from from that point it was I wasn't there long but at that point they disbanded their Their youth system because I think they may have got relegated. I think it was at that some point So they just cut everything off As you say they did they they got rid of their youth system when you were 12 How did that affect you at the time? I Do you know what? I don't think it really affected me that much because I was I was very new to it and I hadn't really experienced It properly I would say So I kind of just went back playing, you know Normal football football with my friends and you know, I got a lot of enjoyment out of that You know, I loved playing playing football, but it was Yeah, I would say maybe it took Some enjoyment from it. Obviously the realization like further like down the line, but Yeah, at that point, I don't think it really Hit you went to combine your footballing you were attending South Devon College Just tell us what you studied there and your best and worst subjects at school So yeah South Devon College we studied it was it I think it was like an MVQ or it was like a diploma in sport or something like that and and Yeah, it was it was actually really enjoyed my time at college, you know, it opened my eyes obviously it was was almost like a gateway to I Wouldn't say like Academy football, but it was also almost like we were we you know, it was an academy We were playing football training in the mornings then going to the college after But yeah, it's kind of Opened my eyes to like what how how football was kind of running in that kind of sense, but now college college was enjoyable Say my worst subject I don't really know maybe science and then best I have a P art or Mass Arts an interesting one. Have you done any art since not really since like I do I would love to you know get back to it But my yeah, my sister's an illustrator as well So I think it's just maybe Something that's in the family now you had a lot of Part-time jobs when you were you're a kid where you were younger a teenager I would imagine just not very many Premier League footballers working a sweet shop. Tell us a little bit about that How did that one come about? Yeah, so I was I think I was just still in college at that time. So it was kind of more like a summer job, you know get a little bit of money so we can You know fun some activities if you can say that and but yeah, so I think I ended up Going for an interview there was I think they just opened it was probably one of the first ones maybe in Painting at that time to really open up something like that. So it's quite new to everyone. So Yeah, ended up getting a job. I don't think I was I was just there for the summer months, but Yeah, I think it was there for maybe three months, but yeah, it's It's quite like looking back. Yeah, it was it's quite fun. Like, you know, I Guess it's I guess it's hard work at the same point, but you know going going to the back like whilst It's not really that busy and eating some sweets in the warehouse and then coming back on the front they're making a making a milkshake and Just going about my day there now I do know that washing dishes in a restaurant is hard work because I've done that and you did that in a restaurant in Painting. So was that like a promotion almost? Yeah, you could say that to be fair. I think I had that alongside doing the the sweet shop so Yeah, that was that was always hard work I wouldn't say I particularly enjoyed that because I was in the kitchen and the kitchens are unbearably hot and yes, it's a very stuffy environment and Then a storm and at Bright House the talkie branch of Bright House that was hard work as well. I would imagine. Yeah, so yeah Been and done everything really it's Yeah, it was a you know, I actually really enjoyed my you know experiences and you know looking looking back now You don't think many footballers have more hardly any I've done what I've done and you know, I think it makes me You know, I appreciate everything I've I've managed to do in in my career Now you were a prolific goal scorer for paint and Saints in the Devon League We've read that and you got spotted by Truro City Now their director of football at the time was a guy called Steve Massey who was a striker AFC Bournemouth in the late late 90s early 80s. I think you only very briefly crossed paths with him. Is that correct? Yeah, so I don't think I really Met I can't I can't really remember to be fair, but Touching back on that might actually gateway into that was Obviously South Devon College we had a Coach who was at that time the assistant at Truro City. So he Asked me to come down for a trial. I think it was just This was like a couple years later off the off chance If I wanted to come and you know, just trial out see see what it was about and I ended up doing really well there And then yeah, here I am now Now at Truro, you combined your time there with working full-time as a personal trainer and a lifeguard at Devon Hills Holiday Park Now tell us just a little bit more about that experience Did you ever have to save anyone's life or any dramatic stories from that time there? No, thankfully not No It's a relatively quiet swimming pool like gym So there wasn't too much going on thankfully It's it can be a long long-winded job You know being on poolside it gets very hot So as you can imagine just watching people swim over and over. It's a it's quite draining I believe you to travel two hours on the train to get to Truro for training. Is that is that true? Yeah, so I Think our schedule was maybe like train on a Tuesday or train on a Thursday Sometimes I couldn't do it due to like work commitments, but yeah if I was to Train it it would be I'd have to either get the train to Truro or one of the lads That lived in Exeter I Traveling with him. So yeah, it was it was hard as you can imagine like I think at that point I was working Maybe mornings So I think I'd be getting up at maybe five o'clock Getting into The gym about quarter past six on some days to open up and then I'd maybe finish about three o'clock In that meantime, I'd I'd have to do like I'd make sure I'd do a workout for myself and then Get a little bit of rest and then I'd go to training. Yeah, so it's a Quite a full-on if you if you look back and at that The the dedication and hard work very early got you a move to firstly Dorchester and then into the championship with Yovil Town in July 2013 was that the break that you had craved into the championship with them Yeah, definitely. Yeah That was you know, I enjoyed my time there felt like I learned a lot about Myself and and football in general that was my first proper experience of you know full-time professional football because we weren't obviously full-time at the other the other clubs But yeah, it was that was that's what I wanted that's what I worked You know relentlessly hard for and when that opportunity came about I was you know, obviously made up. I initially went to trial there and I was I did have trials That I was going to go to after but I think you know as soon as I went there I knew that this was this was the platform. I wanted to play it After Yovil, they got relegated to League 2 eventually. I think you went to Norway with Viking I've read that you said this was a challenging period of your career. Can you expand on why that was challenging? Yeah, you can imagine moving to a foreign country on your on your own It was tough. I wouldn't say there was a like a language barrier, but it was you know, you'd be in I Don't know the canteen or you'd be just in and around the changing room and sometimes it flicker into English Sometimes it flicker into Norwegian and I didn't feel like I could really be myself I couldn't really get involved how I would like to in that sense, but I think I learned a lot about Football over there, you know, it's a different style of playing a different, you know culture But it was one I you know, I wanted to to take and you know, I didn't really Have the impact I wanted to I was very limited to Minutes on the on the pitch. I think I only made off the top of my head 11 appearances, maybe with one start and So I come away from there and a Bit well really disappointed in myself of that I didn't manage to get what I wanted from from that but Yeah, I think it kind of After that really kick-started something in myself saying I wanted I wanted more from it So that's interesting. It sounds like a low point You've made a high out of a low point because you you had a few trials after coming back from Norway Was was there ever a stage where you thought well, I'm not gonna get back into a decent level here were you worried I Wouldn't necessarily say I'm worried but you know, it's it's always It's always hard once you've had You know a taste of you know going playing in a championship There was some some big teams at that at that point in in that league and making my debut Sheffield like competitive debut Sheffield Wednesday away in front of like 25,000 and Yeah, it was amazing So to think of those moments and then to think of the point where I was coming back into England after having an unsuccessful time in abroad Was hard, but I think deep down. I knew I just needed a platform So I did have trials late in Orient maybe I Think also had a trial at Exeter and they offered me a contract, but I Chose to go with forest green instead As you say you did go with forest green in the National League You helped them reach the playoff final, but you didn't feature because I believe you ruptured your appendix after the second leg Yeah, so yeah, there's another twist in my story Yes, obviously having the the highs of getting to Wembley After the we won the semi-final and I Had a really sharp pain in my stomach I was thinking this doesn't this doesn't feel right ended up and Just kind of making it through the night and then we got back to the place and I just couldn't settle in bed It was just Relentless, I think I left it till maybe didn't sleep a wink I left it till maybe eight o'clock in the morning and I thought something's not right here like I haven't slept one second Took myself to A&E and yeah, they said if I kind of left it any longer my Appendix would have ruptured and obviously that's never never good because that can be quite deadly But yeah, so obviously to go through that and then to miss The big occasion at Wembley and obviously I was losing at Wembley as well. So it's a double kick in the teeth really Shortly after you went on loan to Torquay 2016-17 season. How good was it for you to play for your hometown club? And how much did you enjoy it? Yeah, amazing You know, I've had so many fond memories of of that and I can really thank the The manager, Kev, Kev Nicholson. He he really helped me With that, you know, he really believed in me wanted to get the best out of me and and I think at that time Going to play for Torquay In front of my family, you know all my friends Was really what I needed And that I think that really kick-started everything and I Enjoyed myself. I enjoyed going to training. I enjoyed Playing the games, you know, obviously growing up as you know, I was a Torquay fan To actually finally get the chance as I thought, you know, I'd never get that chance I thought I missed it as a kid to play for Torquay was or special and I Did really enjoy my time there He scored five goals in four games probably says how much you enjoyed it I think one of those was a hat trick in there as well. Would you have liked to stay longer? Yeah, so that was you know, that was the initial Talks after I finished the Lone Spell Also for me to maybe go there permanently but It switched town obviously come calling and When a when a team like that comes calling you you don't we've got our answer and that answers always Yes, so That was the opportunity I was I was longing for to be to go back up the footballing pyramid and I was you know, very thankful for that So just going back to talk if you were a tour guide in talkie. Where's the one place that you would introduce people to? In in what sense? Well, if you were a tour guide and you had a coachload of people and you wanted to impress them Would it be something like Anstice Cove or I don't know somewhere like that, maybe That's a tough question. Maybe Meadfoot. Meadfoot is quite nice Maybe Ilsham Marine Drive there's some lovely houses along there. So maybe somewhere like that. Nice. Nice. Look at those now It was a very eventful Christmas for you that year. You featured for forest green and an eventual double header against or key games finishing 455 and as you said it switch came along then in the championship Just want to ask you about one player you played alongside it. It's which Brett Pittman Cherry's legend here and his podcast can be listened on all of our channels. Tell us about playing a game with him Yes, um You know it's It was really eye-opening when I when I went to it So it was I felt like it was a caliber of what I'd been at that point I've had seen really It was only really in in training and and the drills that I could really see you know these These players were there the real deal like First you know watching Brett in the finishing drills It was it was goal after goal and the technique was always was always there And it's a very good natural finisher and it was just seemed seamless for him So I took you know inspiration from that and it was How how can I get myself to that point of where I I looked like that and I was that you know competent in front of goal and So yeah, it was it was really good and you know easy. I said it before but he's yeah, it was a great finisher Now it was quite short spell it switches 11 substitute appearances in total before a six-month stay at Rotherham We got 13 goals in 19 starts and another move move back to the championship with Barnsley Was there was there ever a stage where you thought maybe the championship might just be I might not get higher than that Barnsley You know you'd Yovul and Ipswich No, not at all. I Think my my thinking behind it. The lone spell was I had a really good pre-season I think that that offseason I had probably the best offseason I've I've ever had so I come back super fit for Ipswich and I Was I felt different in myself.  It was that was it I could I just had that feeling of this is this is where I'm gonna really showcase my stuff So I took you know my confidence and everything I've been working on there and Yeah, I could just I Just had that feeling this it's hard to describe but the feeling was that I'd be successful here and Yeah, so I started house on fire and you know it was it was I loved playing on the poor one. It was it was great and Yeah, I felt that that was at that point in time was was what I needed and then obviously to then Barnsley come in The the step back to the championship, I felt that come at the perfect time. I felt ready in myself Obviously the team was struggling at the time, you know, I think Poor working bottom at the time signed me and then maybe it was a week or two later. He signed for leads So that was always a tough transition, but you know, I was thankful to be back in the championship and I Think I to get that taste of it again really really helped Now when you were at Barnsley, I just want to ask you about a certain instant You might know what's coming you fractured your skull playing for them against Jillingham It's February 2019 and I know previously described that instant as horrendous Did it change your perspective on things because it must have been awful to go through? Yeah, it was yeah. Um, yeah, it wasn't nice But it did massively change my perspective I think maybe since that point I've been a lot more ruthless and Quite direct with my decisions. I feel like that kind of Really opened my eyes to what I wanted to achieve from from my career and At that point You're almost, you know at a standstill, you know, I was obviously Recovering from from that incident and I was watching the games and you know thinking like I'd love to you know Take part and and what I what I really really wanted to do and It was difficult it was yeah, it was super difficult You know having to see specials after specialists after specialists to finally say you're now fit and able to play But yeah, there was some some some scares along the way But you know what as soon as I got that that yes to play it was it was a change in my mind It was like a switch. It was just Back to to full-on relentlessness and it was I was ready to go and obviously coming on for the first time after it was Was quite daunting, but it was super exciting But as you can imagine The first phase was actually a goal kick that was being kicked up to me just as soon as I come on so Obviously you can imagine all the emotions running through my head like oh my god, what happens if it happens again? but I said to myself at that point it was either I I let this take control on my mind or I I take control of it and I Just give it everything I felt like I had to be hundred percent in it Or I was never gonna be there the same player or have the impact I'd want to have so You know went and won the header and it was That was the end of that well an impact You certainly had the 2018-19 season was certainly a memorable one for you You were named in the PFA team of the season after scoring 19 goals And you earned a call out your first call up to the Wales squad was this lift off for key for more? Yeah, definitely This was you know, I was finally found my feet and I was ready to you know to really make my my way up and to really assert myself and You know to show people that What I could really do So the yeah the international call-up was you know, it was amazing, you know, it was for me that was kind of a Reward for all the hard work. I've been putting in all the endless hours all the stuff people don't see behind closed doors That was that was it and then to finally make my my debut for Wales Was amazing and then the competitive debut was Was amazing to against Slovakia away. Obviously it was a qualifier for the Euros To score was yeah something special We'll certainly come on to the international stage later on But just clear up for us your links with China because it's well known and there's the stories written out there that you could have potentially Play for China. Can you just clear that that up for those that are listening? Yeah, so Yeah, I have Chinese heritage in my family. So There was talks and about me going up to Play for a team in China You know, it got quite far down the line, but the the whole kind of You know appeal of it was to Represent the national team. I think they were naturalising players at that point a good Example was maybe Niko Yunaris who moved from Brentford to Beijing So they're obviously the idea was to improve the national side so they could compete in, you know major tournaments So yeah, so there was there was talks about that and You know us if you speak to my partner She didn't want to entertain it obviously moving to China. It's a completely different lifestyle and as you can imagine But yeah, sometimes You've got to make those hard decisions, but you know it was it was It was tough because obviously you can imagine it was quite a lucrative lucrative offer and At that point I think I was just coming out of Barnsley But yeah, my mind was always, you know Set on playing for Wales because at this point I already been to maybe two two camps and It would have taken a lot for me to come away from that So instead of Beijing you ended up in Wigan. Yeah, that's a quite the transition. Yeah Now you had a you had a season at Wigan and you suffered really relegation through no fault of the team's own We've been through it all here points deduction sent the cherries down many years ago Must have been a really bitter pill for everybody that one it was but Don't it didn't feel like that I felt like what we I'm gonna say what we achieved at that club during that during that spell was Was remarkable, you know, I Look back at that that moment and I think like what a group of lads Staff management we had because you know at that point we you know, we weren't getting paid There was big obviously implications and Everything surrounding the football club there was negativity all around us and But one thing that that stood strong was was everyone inside the football club the unity that Everyone shown in the passion for to try get this club out of such a dire situation was was amazing and to say I was part of that was is amazing and Yeah, this obviously I think we maybe went down by point in the end. I think it may have been But we went on some some run and you know beat some beat some good sides, you know, obviously, I think we we were 7-0 up at hull at halftime and on one of the game so Yeah, it was that was that was tough obviously being being part of it, but at the same time it was It was amazing People got this misconception that all footballers are rich and stuff like that and you've just touched on it there You weren't getting paid What was that like? Yeah, obviously it's it's um as you can imagine it's it's never nice not again paid for a job you're you're doing but Yeah, we knew what what to expect as soon as the club got into administration. It was and You know, that was probably the one of the first things you get told is that you're not gonna You know be getting your money and whatnot, but you know, thankfully everyone was you know set for for such an event but Yes, it's never nice, but what what can happen to teams? you know where For instance, I don't really know You kind of you know come away from feeling like oh, they're not paying me. I don't I don't want to play We had none of that we had a great team great staff and everyone was really More involved, I think after that is I think they really wanted to to dig and help the club out One of your highlights of that season must have been getting to know Jamal low someone you played alongside for the whole season Now we know he's one of the best-dressed players in the changing room here How would you describe your dress sense? Yeah, I'd like to think my my dress sense is good Yeah, I've got a Wide variety of clothes. I like to you know mix it up. I could sometimes be smart sometimes casual Yeah, I wouldn't definitely say I'm I'm the worst dressed I would say I'm I'm a very consistent nice dresser. Let's put it that way a lot has been made of the gaffers dressed What are you waving to games? What on earth was he doing wearing a cardigan on Saturday? Yeah, I might have been fairly hot in that but I don't know if he was in the shade maybe but Yeah, I think there's a there's a lot of talk around the gaffers gear, but you know, I'm I I enjoy the gaffers gear I I think some of it's quite nice. Yeah Now 2021 you became the first Cardiff City player to score 20 league goals in more than a decade We think that penalty against the cherries was a bit harsh. So Diego Rico's tackle on Peri ng Do you remember that? I do remember that. Yeah, and I remember the penalty as well stuck it right in the top corner When you left Cardiff for FC Bournemouth in January earlier this year you described your time as well in Wales as really special What was it that brought you to the South Coast? My aspirations to to play in the Premier League You know I had I held talks with the club and it was it was everything I wanted to hear and You know, I've I've never Shied away from saying I always want to play in the highest league possible and I saw this as my chance obviously having a failed You know transfer to Wolves obviously didn't pan out But as you can imagine on on someone that's had a you know failed Premier League move It's it's quite hard and sometimes it does Does affect you in certain ways that you wouldn't think it did I'm not saying it affected me, but you know at that point What what more could I have done to you know to maybe cement that Premier League aspiration of mine? So as soon as Bournemouth come calling Obviously haven't played against them in the in the season only I knew what a great side they were and I And I felt like I could I could be you know the factor to help them get to the Premier League Absolutely, but we're gonna talk about your brief time with the cherries I don't know about you Neil, but there's not that much to talk about is there can't think of any more questions So we just cancel it all now bring it to an end Now there is one place that we do want to start and that's after you just arrived Obviously you come on it's a substitute and you break your foot.  I just obviously Come on made my debut. I was you know, happy to to finally be you know coming on making appearances and To feel a part of it and then as soon as the the final whistle kind of went Felt like I was walking in down the tunnel and I felt like oh my foot my foot doesn't feel right I Didn't feel it at all during the game So ended up Sitting down on the just in the changing room Gaffer had his team talk Gone to stand up I could Barely put any weight on it I was thinking like that was going on here like I've just just run around for I don't know Maybe it was like six seven minutes Sat back down couldn't couldn't move hobbled into the The physio room I Said ah my foot is killing me like I don't know what I've done They did some checks Went Had a kind of an ink in what what potentially it could be Like but they didn't think anything it was gonna be anything too serious because there was no kind of significant moment that Anything really happened So ended up, you know having a scan The day later, and yeah it was broken my fifth mat tassel and It was a one where I had to have surgery as well, so yes Never never good on your home debut Now you certainly made up for lost time ten weeks on the sidelines You headed back over the seven bridge and played a not insignificant role in a quite remarkable 3-3 draw Swansea how pleasing was it for an ex-card if player to score twice against the Jacks?  I love stuff like that That really spares me on so I can I can I can thank them for giving me an extra boost of motivation for that game But now it was it was amazing, you know Sitting out for I think maybe it was ten ten weeks. I had a lot to think about and I really wanted to you know Come back and and make an impact and as soon as I felt you know Abel in myself and my foot Felt like I could I could have that impact. I was I was ready to go. I was eager to play I was trying to do everything I possibly could to to get into a situation where I could help the team So I felt from watching from the outside. I felt like I could have you know the impact I did eventually have but it was Yeah to to go there and score two goals and You know to be part of that and you know that point was massive for us and yeah, it was was amazing Now Zoe and I are both dog lovers. What about you? You got any pets or have you had in the past or yeah?  I've we've had dogs as a family Absolutely love dogs. I've got a dog me and my partner at the minute We've got a dog called Bella So I've got a quiz question for you now. Why are Swansea fans known as Jacks? Do you know the answer to this one? And it is dog related Actually that matter so a Famous dog which was called Swansea Jack rescued 27 people from the docks and riverbanks of Swansea Every day is a school day on the AFC Bournemouth podcast. Oh wow nice Now a week after Swansea we hosted Nottingham Forest here Just give us a bit of an insight into the mood in the camp leading up to that one obviously everyone knew what was on the line Yeah, it was For me it was exciting You know to have This opportunity it was you know, I felt like it was all or nothing To get yourself into a position to say you beat this team you go up is is incredible so I think everyone knew What the what the school was what what we had to do what we'll you know what the lads have been working relentlessly hard throughout the whole season for and Everything was defined on this this game So as you can imagine there was you know, it's a lot of a lot of pressure But it was it was good pressure was pressure we needed to to come out on top The training was intense everyone was at it and it was I would say the build-up was was great and You know to to come away winning that game and to realize you know pretty large streams of you know playing in the Premier League and a lot of them have already played in the Premier League, but It's amazing. Yeah, it was truly outstanding Those eyes from Philip Billing that he gave you and he was stood over that free kick Obviously after the game the gaffer said it wasn't rehearsed you said it's not been rehearsed keep Phil said it's not been rehearsed Just talk us through the whole move from your point of view obviously you get that glance Were you confident that he was going to give it to you or did you still think oh, he's gonna go here? No, as soon as I saw the The wall set up. I saw they had one extra man outside the wall, but Don was there. I just thought there's no point put myself in there. So I took a couple steps back Realized no one followed me Took another couple steps and then at this point. I was I Think I was shouting Phil. I was almost making hand signals so he could see me. I was like waving for the ball and As soon as he looked up and saw how much space I had and obviously we locked we locked eyes I think at that at that moment. I knew he was gonna pass it I didn't have any other thought in my mind that he wasn't gonna not pass it to me So I just you know set my set my body position in a shape of where I wanted to put the ball and You know it was a great ball into me and all I had to do was you know All I wanted was hit it hard and hard and low fast and early so the the goalkeeper would be surprised of it and you know I Executed that and you know low and be old I scored the goal. So yeah, it was a unbelievable If it's not too personal you dedicated that goal to your granddad. Just tell us about that. Yeah, so my granddad passed away in Late January just just before the move. I think oh, just maybe yeah, just before the move Yeah, so that was that was always hard that was a tough one to to swallow, you know family or distraught, but it's you know, I Felt like I had Someone up there looking looking down on me and I really wanted to to do it for my granddad, you know, obviously that and alongside that, you know Getting Wales to the World Cup I really wanted to do that and To say I've done that in honor my granddad is amazing Spoken about how important and massive your family are You've spoken about support from your dad Darren mum Lisa and your partner Charlotte We saw some lovely pictures of you proposing to her in the summer. Just tell us about I know she's been with you most of the journey as Well, just tell us about how important they have been to you must have been a lot of downs as well as ups Yeah, so yeah, obviously I'm big big family man Feel like that's that's the Big focus of mine is you know, I love being around my family a family's huge for me and Everything I kind of do is is mainly based around, you know that aspect of my life and Yeah, my my partner's Really been through thick and thin with me. She's she's been there the whole journey So she's seen everything. She's seen the ups the downs even more ups even more downs But you know out of everything she's always she's been there for me. She's been a Rock and you know, I don't think I would have got to this point without her So the stuff that she's helped me through Sometimes even just just being there being a face to talk to someone to you know to lift my mood Yeah, it was no, I can't can't thank Charlotte enough Now before we move on to this season with the cherries You've spoken about how much it meant to you to reach the world cup with Wales. Can you just expand on that a little bit? It was amazing, you know the To say, you know People people say it's such a small nation and that we shouldn't be you know competing in these big tournaments to Do it, you know on the back of being at the Euro's to then qualify For the World Cup is it's amazing and you know if you can speak to anyone in Wales this That's all anyone's talking about is the World Cup and you know to say to say we did that for for such a great country is Amazing and you know to be part of that part of the team that that did that is That'll stick with me forever and you know to for us to finally, you know Play in the World Cup and you know have the fans cheering us on all back at home or or anywhere even in front of the TV is going to be surreal So you've got America Iran and England in your group so second place will be up for grabs Yeah, definitely. Yeah, so I don't know where England gonna finish but Now of course, it's it's gonna be a great tournament and Yeah, I think you could only write it that you know England We're gonna be in our group or wearing their group, you know, I have a way you look at it and but you know we we know what to expect and You know, I think we'll we'll be going there to upset a lot of lot of fans That's to a gates to around this table because myself and James are English and sorry Has to admit that she is a Wales fan. She resisted the temptation to wear her whale shirt and a bucket hat But she says can you get me a couple of tickets for the final? No problem, I'll sort that Now back to the cherries it was real Roy of the Rover stuff Scoring on your Premier League debut against Aston Villa two days before your 30th birthday Obviously, everyone has seen the Premier League anniversary. It was the Premier League's 30th anniversary as well recently Did you ever imagine that day would come and could it have panned out more perfectly? Yeah, I think, you know, I've always pictured this day in my mind. I've Believe in and visualising and outcomes and certain moments that I'd like to to have in my life and So when when this moment really did come and I knew I was gonna take it You know to You know, this was it was my first first start for the club as well I'm obviously due to the circumstances, but I really knew I'd I did I know I set myself and this this was the moment. I've been waiting for for my whole career This was everything leading up to this point I felt like all the hard work everything I've been through and everything I've you know, I will go through was was for this point here and For me to for be playing in the Premier League this season and you know What what bigger occasion to score your first goal in the Premier League and I always say it about multiple goals I've scored but As soon as that that ball come in and I saw I was fairly free and I knew all I had to do was Repeat a process. I've done countless times in my career and Execute a finish that I've done on the training pitch many many time But right at the start of the season, but what are your hopes and goals for the rest of the campaign?  I have big ambitions and I've set Big targets I'd like to achieve throughout the season. I'm not gonna Say what they they are but They are ambitious Just going back to Wales couple of lads in the changing room. You're we're all hoping that Mepps and Bruxy will go just how how great is it being to have Bruxy back on the training pitch? Yeah, it's amazing, you know Bruxy's such a big character and a great lad and to have him back amongst everything is is amazing And you know, he's he's really enjoying it. You know, he's he's working hard To get back to the fitness he was and you know, hopefully we'll see him back soon in it in a cherry show And in the same breath, let me ask you about Chris meppen is rolled in that Wales reaching the World Cup Finals Is you can't take anything away from that either? No, not at all. Yeah, meps is meps is a sad standing center off and You know, he's I think he was vital to to us Achieving what we wanted to achieve, you know, some of the some of the blocks some of the clearances some of the some of the performance he's had drawing for Wales has been second to none and you know, you only can see that and you know, the games he's played for for Bournemouth, you know The the game against us in villa. I thought it was amazing so Yes, he's had such a pivotal role for for Wales over the years and you know, long that may that continue Now before we start rounding off one more question all or nothing. We've seen it with Arsenal We've seen it with Spurs. We've seen it with Man City Would you be would you be up for a net seeing an AFC Bournemouth one out there anytime soon? You know what? I think it'd make a really good viewing to see the insights of what we what we do each day is Would be would be eye-opening for a lot for a lot of people. So yeah, I'd be I'd be keen for that Maybe we could get Keith O'Souffle and in to play you. I would that go down with the family. They'd love that with Yeah, I tell you what. Yeah, let's do it Now we're gonna come to some supporter questions in a moment, but we've just got five quick fire questions for you favorite match First favorite goal first favorite international moment Scorn at the U.S. Toughest opponent not met him yet. Maybe Yeah, none. That's really We'll come back to that one best player you have played with Garth Bell Toughest opponent. Did you ever come up against Nathan Walker in training at Dorchester? To be fair, I've played against some some very good center afts, but I can't think where I've been I've come away thinking. Oh my god. That was it was amazing We'll come back to that right at the end. I'll have a good thing about that Okay, we're nearly at the end. So you haven't got long. Okay, but I am gonna throw you some supporter questions We put some messages out on Twitter Instagram Facebook to You know sit to allow supporters to ask you some questions that we might not have included Quite quick fire again, I'm gonna ask you one from our AFC be What do you think of your charm? Yeah, I love it. Yeah, I didn't I didn't expect That but yes, you know every time you hear support of singing your name is It's amazing and it gives me, you know goosebumps every time I hear it and you know miss it is quite catchy as well I'm from Callum messy or Ronaldo Ronaldo No hesitation. No hesitation at all. Rob wants to know how it feels to be the best thing to come out of Torquay since 40 towers I'll take that. Yes Yeah, it's a good one to have yeah Matt wants to know when you walk on the pitch you do a movement which almost looks like you throw something up And yeah, can you explain about that or what more specifically what that is? Yeah, so I I Every time I step over the white line to play a game For me, it's about being, you know grateful of of the opportunity I have at that present time and To really it kind of gets me in the zone and I think about stuff I'm thankful for to before I play this game.  So yeah Now we've had a lot of questions From men and women and they're asking why you're so sexy But you didn't win the sexiest player in the Premier League that went to Jack Stacey That must have been a bit of a shot in the eye for you. Yeah, that was a bit of a blow Yeah, to be fair, I think Stacey's buzzing with that by the way non-stop popping on about it Right well, we are at the end. So I'm still gonna ask you for who your toughest opponent is. I Haven't forgotten there For those who don't know when we're recording we've just paid man's just a city and keep them all sat here thinking about Who is toughest opponent? But I felt like I didn't really Yeah I Tell you what maybe maybe back in the day I'll go I've got one of them even though I've played against some internationally renowned center-offs But at that point I felt like he gave me a good a tough game Was it McNulty at tram tram here? Yeah, yeah Yeah, I remember playing against him and Yeah, you give me a good girl There you go. That's some accolade that isn't it Neil Well, he's the guy he always used to get ridiculed for for his appearance didn't he but like you said he was a fearsome opponent, wasn't he? Yeah, he was yeah, he's You know for he's quite a big guy, but he was he's very good in you know Reading movements and and being quite aggressive as well. So there you go. Well, there we go Keifa we've thoroughly enjoyed having you here on the official FC Bournemouth podcast Thank you for taking the time to come in and chat. We've had some brilliant stories in and really enjoyed your company. Thank you Now if you've enjoyed listening to our podcast We'd absolutely love it if you could like and subscribe on whatever platform you're listening on We'd also be really grateful for any shares on social media So that other fans be at FC Bournemouth related or the general football fan can enjoy it, too I thanks again to Keifa Moore and from Neil Perrett and myself Zoe Rundle Thank you for tuning in to the official a FC Bournemouth podcast You


Last year we had over 300 families come through our facility and we actually gave 120 more dinners out in addition to the people we fed at the outreach. We gave those through the community in Jenkins. It's open to everyone. There is no one that is unwelcome from any part of the state or out of state. They're all welcome. December 7th the doors open at 10 a.m. Everyone will come in and register. They'll get a little ticket and it'll be color coded. They'll go on over and receive their coats if they want to coat. We have hygiene products, feminine hygiene, we have household, toothbrushes, toothpaste for everyone. We have furniture, clothes that are new and used and we will have toyland for the first time this year so the kids will be able to go into toyland and get what they want or the parents can go in and get it for them if their children aren't with them. We want to help people who are just having a hard time making Christmas. Maybe they work a lower income job or they are grandparents raising children. We want to help those people and kind of feel the gaps and that way their kids feel just as much love and the joy of the holidays too. They can contact the Letcher Resource Center either one there's a middle school and elementary school resource director. They can contact them or they can contact me. They can email me through Ignite Ministries at live.com and we'll get into it. We'll touch base with them and see what we can do and how we can help them. The group we work with out of McDonnell, Georgia they actually bring a hundred bicycles in so we want to help kids in that area you know be able to have we give those children a Christmas but we also want to help make sure that not just the kids but even food is taken care of that's why we it's grown and expanded from bikes to bicycles and food and coats and clothing it's expanded because we want to be able to make sure that they do have a Christmas. Volunteers are welcome. We are in much need of many more volunteers. It takes a lot to make this happen. We will be there on Friday December the 6th and you're welcome to come in and help set up and then we also need hands-on December 7th and all volunteers are reporting at 8 a.m. December 7th. We do a quick little devotional with everyone and make sure that everyone's there signed in knows where they're going knows how to help people and then we break out. Just the love of God being shown so much throughout this entire six years we've got to see that because people will come in and like as they're getting stuff they're like so excited and happy that they're getting this stuff because parents will come in and pick their kids stuff up without their kids because they don't want them to know that's going to be their Christmas. Man to see them get what they need and see people dance out in new shoes and thankful literally dance out in new shoes or put on a coat and say I have something warm I'm not cold or to watch the children come up and ask for a separate a second helping of something. Man it's really really touching.


Welcome back to the breakfast here on plus TV Africa. No, let's go back in history and then going back to 2014 One incident of course that changed the way policing is done in the United States with the you know A vote for body cameras for police officers But it was on this day that a young man Michael Brown was shot fatally by police officers While of course, you know out in the street with his friend It was an 18-year-old african-american male in Vegas in Missouri was shot and killed by a police officer After reportedly assaulting the officer and attempting to steal his weapon that of course eventually led to a protest across the United States That lasted for a couple of weeks the United States president back then Barack Obama then proposed for You know a funding for body cameras Brown was accompanied by his 22-year-old friend Dorian Johnson and of course the police officer Wilson said that an altercation ensued when Brown attacked The police officer in his car and tried to take control of the gun until it was fired. There was of course controversy over You know with the Michael Brown killing, you know seeing that he of course was unarmed at that time And there wasn't enough proof there was arguments whether he truly you know tried to get the police officers gone or not And of course that spot protest across the United States that went on for weeks destruction of you know some property here and there the Black Lives Matter of course a conversation started all over again and you know the United States president back then Barack Obama announced the federal government would spend 75 million dollars on body cameras for law enforcement officers and It was one of the measures that was taken in response to Michael Brown's shooting mostly because of the you know disparity with You know what truly happened on that day You know was it true that he tried to attack the police officer and take his gun or you know Was this just you know one incident more or one more incident of the United States police officers? Not being able to you know hold themselves back when the suspect was an African American And so yes on this day Michael Brown was killed in the United States This story, you know was very controversial because There are lots of activists and advocates behind Michael Brown Regarding the story and it was one of the most significant stories You know that really really changed began the process of changing how the US justice system You know viewed people of color, you know, there was the issue of racial profiling You know the police officer involved said he saw Mike Brown And his friend walking on the sidewalk and they seem to match the description of some Robbers robbery suspect. He told them to get on the sidewalk Mike Brown reached out to him It was just lots of details that that that was very conflicting But the important point to note here is that Mike Brown was unarmed It's in your old walking with his friend and yet he was shot six times terrible, yeah You know back, but I mean it's these are things that you know, they've been speaking about for for you know years for decades actually Racial injustice and you know the fact that the United States police Always somehow some way profiled black Americans different from the way that whites, you know were profiled You know, you would also get to see a lot of other videos where you would see whites, you know, you know Americans Caucasians rather, you know acting very very violently Towards police and you don't get to see the same reaction that you're seeing with a with an African American And so it's one of those reasons once again And you know, does it got me to go off six times if you're trying to protect yourself does, you know The the suspect need to be you know fired six times as you need to get shot six times before you are sure that you are safe it's part of some of all those conversations and You know what then happens next, you know in a case like that They've tried to of course and that's one of the reasons the body cameras have come into You know as part of the police and system in the United States. It has helped no doubt To change, you know, and of course a limited amount of the number of these incidents happening But you still see them happening right now and then Let's move on now from 2014 to 1995 This day is very significant in South African history Because when you look at where South Africa as a country is coming from regarding appetite, you can imagine just how much Segregation injustice that especially South African women black women in South Africa suffered at the hands of these colonialists and It was in distant history August the ninth in 1995 that women in South Africa first celebrated a national women's day Now this day, you know takes us all the way back to the 1950s when you know women in South Africa Went on to the Union buildings in Pretoria to protest against, you know, the issuance of passes So they had a past law in South Africa back then that said that if you're a black woman You had to have a pass at all times now The idea of this past was basically to limit freedom of movement, you know As a black woman you needed to have this past meaning that of course get the process of getting those passes You can imagine how cover something will try to have made it be to ensure that women Black women do not have access to some places that attempt as white only so these women What they decided to do was to pick a Thursday now Thursday in essay at that time was a day when you know Women who worked as domestic help, you know got it was basically like the off day at that time so they picked a Thursday and That was to make sure that as many women as possible were able to come out so women came out in their numbers They had, you know this petition about a hundred thousand women signed the petition that said that they were not in support of the past law That would go ahead to further strengthen the appetite movement They took that to the Union buildings in South Africa about 20,000 women marched there They stayed there silently silently for about 30 minutes And then they began to sing a song that they had pop was really composed against the past law and against the appetite in South Africa and And so many years later that that historic event happened in 1950s now many years later August the ninth 1995 women in South Africa came together to say that they wanted to institute a national women's day You know that this is the day where we're going to dedicate to talking about you know issues that affect women And in fact in South Africa August the month of August is women's month is the month where they basically celebrate You know women where you have you know Women who have you know power influence in South Africa organize events where they talk about issues that affect women So it's really is a power day in South Africa and in fact a power month. Yeah, absolutely. I You know, so when when I see things like this, you know, and you know, it it it makes me feel, you know bad because As legal as protests are, you know, we as Nigerians for a long time I mean in the last couple of years or decades have not been able to pull, you know together these numbers to make a statement Protests aren't you know always meant to be violent in any way there and in any way meant to you know be destructive You know, it's really just a combination of people gather of thousands of people coming together To make a pass a message to the government, you know, and you know, if possible if I change I don't remember if we've been able to pull 20,000 30,000 people 10,000 people together, you know in one gathering and I feel like Nigerians need to get to that place where we stop Being divided by numerous conversations and just focus on what's important and come together, you know And you know make a statement at some point Anyway, we'll be gone a short break when we come back our first major conversation is starting up We are going to be talking about the all-progressives Congress and the little court of judicial chaos that might be in With the party and its leadership may Malabuni we'll get into that after the short break here on the breakfast. Good morning once again


Hi everyone, so this is the video talk on the one more discrete logarithm in the generic group model. So this is the work we did together, Balthazar Bauer, Georg Krujbauer, and myself, Antoine Pluvier. And yeah, in this work, we give the first proof of security for the one more discrete logarithm in the generic group model. We also show that the previous get proof for the one more discrete logarithm security were flawed. Yeah, so the other talk will be, I will first introduce the generic group model. After that, I will just talk about some simple security assumption, which is the discrete logarithm. We will see how we can write the discrete logarithm game in the generic group model and how to simulate it without having any secrets. And this will lead to some security property of the discrete log in the generic group model. We will see how we can use the short simple lemma to prove its security. After that, I will be introducing the one more discrete logarithm, which is quite a more complex assumption than the discrete logarithm. We will see how we can give some intuitive way of simulating the one more discrete log game in the generic group model without a secret. But we will see that the intuitive way doesn't work, that's why the previous proof were flawed. So we will see an attack and we will see how we can give a correction for the simulation of one more discrete log in the generic group model. And we will see how we can prove its security from this new correction. Ok, so first I want to motivate our work by saying that the one more discrete logarithm assumption is very used in the literature. For example, for Blanchner signatures, the Blanchner signature unforgeability relies on one more discrete logarithm assumption, also on our problem, but on the one more discrete logarithm assumption. There are also other signature primitives, for example the multisignatures and transitive signatures, which are based on the snow identification protocol, but also some identification schemes based on the snow identification protocol. And also some negative results, so those results will be the proof that there is no reduction. For example, for some signature, you cannot reduce the unforgeability property to only discrete log. So you would have to suppose that one more discrete log is hard to prove that you cannot reduce the unforgeability to only the discrete log assumption. Ok, so that's for the use of one more discrete log. Let's talk about the generic group model. So the generic group model is an idealized model for cryptographic games defined over a group of prime order p, meaning that the group has a generator g. And for the generic group model, for a security assumption, we build a security game in which the challenger simulates a game for the adversary, and the adversary will try to break the security assumption. And what we want to prove is that the adversary has a really low chance to win the game, so to break the security assumption. So for simplicity, let's say that the challenger gives as input to the adversary some group element x1, xn. And in the end, the adversary could give as output to the challenger some group element y1, ym, and try to win the game. In the generic group model, what we say is that the group is a structure which is hard to understand for the adversary. So to formalize this, what we do is we just replace the group element by symbols that have no mathematical meaning. So for example, we replace the group element x1 by the symbols paid and the group element xn by the symbol art. And the challenger will just maintain a list in which he stores all the symbols corresponding to the group element. Now the adversary, it has only seen symbols, so it cannot do any computation, right? Because hard plus paid doesn't mean anything, it has no mathematical senses. So the adversary cannot do simple group operations. And it has to ask the challenger to do the group operations for him. So the challenger will just check in the list to which group element is paid and art correspond. And it will just compute the sum of those two group elements. So if the group element computed is one of the previous group elements in the list, the challenger will just give one symbol corresponding to this group element. And if the group element is new in the list, then the symbol would be new. And in the end, if the adversary outputs some group element, it means that it outputs a symbol which corresponds to some group element in the list because it must be a symbol that the challenger has shown to the adversary. So the challenger can get the decomposition that the adversary used to compute this symbol depending on the input because the adversary can only do simple operations, meaning that in the end, all the symbols correspond to some linear combination on the input. So that's how the generic group model works. And let's see on the discrete algorithm how we can prove the security of the discrete algorithm in the generic group model. So first, the discrete algorithm is just a game in which the challenger will have a secret X, which is a scalar, and the aim of the adversary will be to get the secret. So the challenger will just build a challenge, which is a group element X, which is equal to the secret X times the generator, and show it as input to the adversary. And the adversary will just output some scalar Z. The adversary wins if he guesses the secret, meaning that if X is equal to Z. And now the study of the discrete logarithm in the generic group model, which have been done by Schup when he introduced the generic group model, it's just you would replace the group element by symbols, meaning that instead of the generator G, you would show the symbol art. Instead of the challenge X, you would show the symbols paid. And the adversary, if he wants to do simple computation, you would just compute the sum of those two. So it would be X plus 1 times G, and show the new symbol corresponding to this group element. Ok, so how can we prove the security with this? So we can see here that all the group elements in the list of the challenger, they are defined like with polynomials of X times G, for example, you would replace it with polynomials, it would be P0 of X times G with P0 being equal to 1, P1 of X times G with P1 being equal to X, and P2 of X times G with P2 being P0 plus P1. So here, what is interesting is, the only thing that challenges is the polynomial, right? X is the same, G is the same here. So we could say, yeah, we could remove X and G and the simulation would be the same, right? We could do the same simulation with only polynomials and no X, no G. So it means, right now we are just simulating the discrete logarithm game in the generic group model without any secret, which means that the adversary would play the game and in the end it would give some output to try to get the secret, but there is no secret. So the challenger can just pick one random secret in the end and the adversary wins if the secret is equal to Z, but since Z is fixed before X is picked randomly, it means that this happens with probability 1 over P, right? And thus, the adversary has a low probability to win because P is big and 1 over P is really low, so negligible probability to win for the adversary. But maybe we missed something. Maybe we missed the fact that the simulation could fail, right? If we choose X equals 0, we could have X equals 0 because X is just picked randomly in Zp. So if we X equals 0, then we have 1 plus X equals 1 meaning that heart and diamond, they represent the same group of elements. So the two symbols, they should be equal. But when we were simulating the game, X was not defined. So the only idea we had was that we had P0 which is the polynomial which is different of P2. Those two polynomials are different. So the symbols we fixed, they were different. And this is a problem because in the discrete logarithm game, the symbol would have been the same. But in our game, the symbols, they were different. So that means we were not playing the discrete logarithm game with the adversary. The simulation failed. And the problem happens if X equals 0. But OK, we could say X equals 0. This happens with really low probability, right? So maybe this probability of simulation failure can be bounded. And yes, that's what we will do with a short simple lemma. So yeah, to want the probability of simulation failure, we just need to find what, at which condition the simulation fails. And we say that the simulation fails if when we pick one random X, there exist two different polynomials which have been computed by the adversary, which when we evaluate them on the secret X, they are equal. And actually, the short simple lemma, it can help us with that because it says that if there is a polynomial which is non-zero, so a multivariate polynomial, and if we pick one X uniformly random, meaning that the X is independent of the polynomial chosen, then the probability that this polynomial evaluated on X is equal to 0 is less than 1 over P. So this is nice because since the polynomials are different, it means that in our case, the probability that Pi of X equals PJ of X is less than 1 over P. And yeah, we just need to bond this probability for all the couples of polynomials that the adversary computed. And we say that the adversary is allowed to make at most M operations. So there are at most M-square couples of polynomials. And we say that the simulation fails with probability less than M-square over P. So in the end, we get the fact that the discrete log is secure in the generic group model because the probability that the adversary wins in the discrete log is just the sum of the probability for the simulation to fail plus the probability of the adversary to win in the simulation. So it means that the probability for the adversary to win is really low because P is big in front of the number of operations that the adversary is allowed to do. Ok, so that's for the discrete log. Now let's see what is the discrete logarithm game and how we can implement maybe the same idea for all the generic group models for the one more discrete logarithm. So in the one more discrete logarithm, the challenger doesn't have any secret at the beginning but the adversary has access to some challenger recall associated with a counter N and some discrete log recall associated with a counter Q. And what the adversary can do is just request the challenger for a challenge. So it would mean it would be a discrete log challenge to solve for the adversary and the challenger would just pick one random secret create a challenge associated to the secret and show the challenge to the adversary which will be a discrete log challenge for the adversary meaning that the adversary will have to find a secret corresponding to this challenge and the adversary can request as many challenges as he wants so he can for example request for a second challenge the challenger will just pick one new secret and show one new challenge to the adversary and stuff but now the adversary has also access to some discrete log oracle so it can request for the discrete log of any group element you want and the challenger would just answer with a discrete log every time and in the end it means that the challenger would have N secrets x1, xn so we say that this is a vector of secret x and the adversary would have done Q queries to discrete log so it means that it has Q answers of the discrete log oracle y1 until yQ and it outputs some vector z trying to guess the secret x so the adversary wins if x is equal to z and Q is strictly less than N meaning that there is strictly less discrete log queries than challenge oracle queries so there is strictly more challenge than answers to discrete log given to the adversary so this is one more discrete log now how is it transformed into a generic group element so just as before the challenger shows a symbol instead of group element so there is a symbol art that would correspond to the generator there is a symbol spade that for example would correspond to the first challenge requested by the adversary so the challenger defines a secret x1 and the spade correspond to x1 times g so if the adversary requests for a second challenge then the challenger would just define one new symbol corresponding to the new challenge and after that if the adversary wants to do simple computation this would just correspond to one oracle that the adversary also has access to to request for the simple computations of two group elements and the challenger can just as before do the simple computations of those two group elements and obtain this new symbol here so we could say it's just the same as before if we want to implement the one more discrete log in the generic group model we could do the same as before we could simulate it without the circuit but just replacing all of those group elements by polynomials just now there will be multivariate polynomials the first variable would correspond to the first secret the second variable would correspond to the second secret and so on yeah, so that's nice but now what happens if the adversary requests for the discrete log of some group element so it requests for the discrete log of symbol because group elements are symbol for the adversary and the challenger just picks one random scalar because here for example it does discrete log for the first secret so the challenger would have to define the first secret right now it would pick one value y1 uniformly random and show it to the adversary now since the adversary has done two requests of challenge and one request of discrete log it could and the game here and I will put one vector z and as a challenger it can just pick the second secret uniformly random and have the secret here which is equal to y1 x2 and the adversary wins if x is equal to z but since x2 was defined after z is defined it means that the adversary wins with probability less than 1 over P just as before so this works exactly the same right but we still need to have a look on the probability of simulation failure so here the simulation fails if for the same condition actually the condition will be the same just now we have multivide polynomials and we have a secret that has n components and if two polynomials are completed by the adversary and are different but on the secret they are equal then it means that the simulation fails and since the principle lemma is also valid for multivide polynomials we could say we could apply it right away right because it's just the same but no, in fact there is a problem in the chassis polynomial we say that x should be picked uniformly random independently of P this uniformly randomness of x is here just means that x is independent of the polynomial P and here since y1 is defined before x2 is defined it means that actually it's not defined uniformly random from every polynomial that the adversary could have computed maybe some polynomials they could depend of y1 and in fact this is an important problem because there is an attack we will see how the adversary can make the simulation fail with probability 1 what the adversary can do is just request for some challenge for the challenger the challenger would define one challenge and show it to the adversary corresponding to one secret after that the adversary can request for the discrete log of this challenge the challenger would just pick one random scalar y1 corresponding to this request and this corresponds to the first secret now what the adversary can do is he can just add the generator y1 times because y1 is a scalar and doing this it can do it efficiently and doing this it will build a constant polynomial corresponding to the constant y1 so it means that there is a new symbol here corresponding to this polynomial here and we have two polynomials x1 y1 which are different meaning that the two symbols are different but when we evaluate the amount of secrets they are equal meaning that the two symbols they should be equal in the one more discrete log game they would be equal so it means that the adversary knows with probability 1 that it is not playing in the one more discrete log game it means that the simulation fails and this is what what are the flaws of the previous proof the previous proof we are not seeing that the simulation fail at this point that we can measure the simulation fail at this point so in order to correct the simulation what we could do is just when the adversary request for the discrete log of such a group element here we could say ok so this y1 corresponds to the first secret so we could say ok the variable x1 would just become y1 so we update all the polynomials we say that ok the variable x1 now is y1 but this leads to some problem in the writing because here it's simple to write because the polynomial is easy but if spade were representing some complex polynomial here it would mean that we would have to search for the coefficient which is non zero and replace the variable corresponding to this coefficient by this polynomial here things get a bit messy to write there's a second problem which is we still need to compute the probability of the simulation to fail for example if we have y1 which is equal to 1 then it means that heart is equal to spade but since those two polynomials they were different it means that yeah there is a few things to check we need to check the probability of some of those polynomials when we evaluate only the variable x1 and replace it by y1 what is the probability of those multivariate polynomials to be equal to zero and actually this is not the first polynomial because there is a problem which only evaluate the variable x1 and it means that we evaluate a polynomial over a ring and schradtipal lemma works for polynomial over fields so really not the same thing so we cannot use it that's why we introduced a second idea which is theoretically the same just simpler to write we said that the challenge maintains a list which will contain every polynomial corresponding to the discrete log queries for example here it will just it will just contain the polynomial x1 minus y1 which corresponds to the polynomial which the adversary knows that it is equal to zero on the secret x and all the computations of the polynomials will be done modulo the list L so it's just the same as before just it's more easy to write because for example if the single spade correspond to some polynomial q we just have to store q minus y1 in the list so this is more simple and the probability of simulation failure it can be formalized this way we say that if we are for two polynomials they are equal modulo L but when we evaluated their symbols the symbols were different it means that the simulation failed somewhere because if those two polynomials they are equal modulo L it means that when we evaluate them on the secret they are equal so their symbols should be equal so in the end of the game the adversary would output some vectors z and it would have done q discrete log queries so the list would contain q polynomials here and and yeah so the challenger can just pick one x which satisfies every equations here so those are only linear equations and since q is strictly less than n it means we can sample x in the set of size p so we can pick x uniformity random in such a set meaning that we still have the probability for the adversary to win strictly less than 1 over p so this is nice but we still need to compute the probability for the simulation failure and let me give you some idea on how we can do that so I just recall as the simulation failure condition we wrote so when we simulate the generic group model without the secret x the only way of writing the failure condition is we have two polynomials they were equal modulo L but when we attributed two symbols to them the symbols they were different by doing some hybrid in the proof we prove that this failure condition is equivalent to a failure condition while simulating properly the generic group model game with the secret x when we add two different polynomials modulo L but equal when we evaluated them on the secret so this resembles a lot to the condition we had before because before it was only the two polynomials that were just different now there are different modulo L and this condition here is the same and we have to check this not for x picked uniformly random in a set of zp at the power of n but for x picked uniformly random such that it verifies all the linear equations defined by the discrete law queries so those linear equations here we say that it's a space, affin space defined this way so it's an affin space and since x verifies q of those it means that it is in an intersection of such affin spaces we find also that maybe x is not also in some other affin space because since we have some symbols which are different it means that we have some polynomials which are different pi of x minus pj of x is different of 0 so this means that x is not in some other affin space so we have to remove some affin spaces basically the intersection would just be some affin spaces so we pick x from a set which is an affin space from which we remove some affin spaces which has this form here and in the end we give just a new lemma which would replace the use of the short simple lemma in our proof so we say if we have such affin space so x belongs to the intersection of those and not to in those and if we have one polynomial p of degree 1 under the hypothesis of p is independent of all the polynomials q i computed by the adversary with the descriptor queries also if this space is non empty and if we pick x uniformly random from this space we can bound the probability of this polynomial evaluated on x to be equal to 0 and actually this bound here is the one we use and we say that just as before the probability that the adversary wins is m squared times the probability of one polynomial being equal to 0 so this is the probability of the simulation period plus the probability of the adversary to win in the simulation game so this is the theorem of our paper the probability of the adversary to win one more descriptor is negligible ok so further results we have in our work a security proof for the one more computational differential in the generic group model and our work can also lead to some security proofs for the one more discrete log rated assumptions in the generic group model such as for example one more discrete log free base and stuff like that ok thank you a lot for your attention bye


Let's explain something. It's not an issue of Wahhabi, non-Wahhabi, what people have been here for years on end. It's an issue of intolerance. It's an issue of extremism on all parties. I believe every ustaz makes mistakes without exception. Take the good from all of them and leave the bad. When someone preaches hatred against another, discounted and if you have the opportunity go to them and tell them, please don't talk about other people. I want to ask you a question and I'm going to stand for this. You know who I am, right? I'm a brother of yours in faith. Have you ever heard me talk bad about another person? MashaAllah. MashaAllah. The innocent have born witness. Do you agree? Why? I have so much of goodness to share with the world that I don't have time to worry about others. Come on, come on. Those who talk about others don't have something to present themselves. I am busy doing my work.  Some of these names I don't even know what they mean to be honest with you. I was waiting for the day they said someone called you a chocolate man because that's more, that's true, you know. But all these names for me, I say, look, I know what I am. I'm a Muslim and I'm trying to spread a good message amongst all groups. Let me carry on doing my work. The minute I turn to fight them, I become a fighter, I cause a bigger problem and now who's going to do this good work? Because my energy, like I said earlier, all the energies are now being utilized, waste of resources to do something where it's going to be less beneficial, in fact, destructive. So please do yourself a favor. When you hear labeling, you need to be more intelligent than the label. You need to rise above it and tell yourself, whatever good is coming from this person, I will take it. Whatever bad is coming, I will discount it. The reason is, even if you belong to one group, it does not mean the ustazas of your group, everything they say is right. They will also say wrong things, you will have to pick it up. And it doesn't mean that there is a Christian across the road, so they cannot teach you something good. I have had people who taught me mathematics and geography and biology and sociology and English language, who were Jews and Christians and Hindus and people who belong to other faiths. I took from them whatever I had to and I left whatever I didn't. You follow what I'm saying? So when you go to the university, you will have a lecturer who might be gay, for example, you know, I'm not talking about this nation in particular, but maybe in Europe, okay? You take from them whatever you feel you need to take from them and leave the rest. I'm there to study petroleum engineering, for example, whatever else. I took whatever I had to and that's it and I respect them for having given me what they did. That's humanity. The problem with us is, the problem is all over. We all are guilty of labeling others. This one is this. Let's understand. It's qualities that make us or break us. You have a bad quality. Look, I'm sitting with people. I don't need to know what inclination he is or I am. I know I get along on common factors that are 9999 compared to the one item that I might find that I'm different with him in. Do you know? So this is why I say, let's not allow our nation to crumble based on this labeling that's going on. Take the good from everyone and leave that which is not good no matter where it's from. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala grant us ease and goodness. May Allah bless your nation. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala grant you strength and growth and may whatever issues you may be having be resolved in the best possible way that results in the true growth of your beautiful nation. Questioner and shaker playing. Shaker. What are you doing? Questioner said, I'm a Muslim. What type of Muslim are you? Are you a Khareji? Are you a Mutazali? Are you a Shi'i? Are you a Refadi? Are you a Qadiri? What type of Muslim are you? So the questioner says, I am a Muslim. Follow the Qur'an and Sunnah. What Sunnah? Everyone says Qur'an and Sunnah. The Khareji says Qur'an and Sunnah. The Shia says Qur'an Sunnah. The Qadiri says Qur'an Sunnah. What type of Qur'an Sunnah are you? So he says, I follow Qur'an and Sunnah like the way the Salafi saw him understood. The shaker says, yes, very good. You have to follow Qur'an and Sunnah the way the Salafi saw him understood. So for this big sentence in short form, the word is Salafi. And the debate was one. According to the Salafi, the debate was one. And on the internet you go, I respect Shaykh Nasr al-Bani. Many of my talks, when I want to check up a hadith, I see him. So I respect him Mashallah. I love him. I revere him, but no taqleed. No taqleed. Taqleed only belongs to Allah and His Rasool. Fine. See this is logic. This is Qiyas. See logic, I say proof to be from Qur'an and Sunnah, not logic. Alhamdulillah, summa alhamdulillah. Allah has blessed me with logic. Summa alhamdulillah. I am not a scholar. I consider myself a student of Taalib-e-ilm, a student of knowledge. But Allah has blessed me that I've met many scholars, whether it be of the great Indian scholars, whether from Nadeva, whether from Deoban, whether it be the Saudi scholars. Alhamdulillah, whether it be the scholars from other parts of the world. Allah has blessed me. I had the portion to interact with the great scholars of the present time. So based on that, what type of Muslim are you? Are you a Khareji? Are you a Mutazali? Are you a Shia? Are you a Qadiri? Are you a Sufi based on that even in the debate? We said, see, then Sheikh replies. No. But the questioner says, but didn't Allah say, call yourself Muslim? So the Sheikh replied that that time there was only one Islam. Now there are different groups. So therefore it is compulsory further, obligatory. You should identify yourself as a Salafi. Logic. Now comes my reply. And that debate was indeed there. Sheikh Nasrud al-Bani went the debate. See for me, don't debate with me. Prove to me from Quran and Sunnah. Immediately doctors are going to accept. Debating Alhamdulillah, Suma Alhamdulillah, Allah has blessed me. In debating Alhamdulillah, Allah has blessed me. My response to Sheikh Nasrud al-Bani, I respect him. I am nothing compared to him. I am not even a drop in the ocean compared to Sheikh Nasrud al-Bani. So please don't get me wrong. Many of my talks are based on his research. Mashallah. So please don't get me wrong. I love him. I respect him, but no takleed. I tell him, fine. If you see the lifestyle in the history of the Prophet, he didn't go to me. He didn't go to me. Any of us of the Quran that call us as Salafi. So I don't call. Not logic. At the time of the Prophet, they were hypocrites, monaphics. Fine. They were monaphics. The Sahabas did not change the name. They were Kharejees, Khawarij, Kharejites. They called themselves Kharejees. People gave them the label. The Sahabas yet called themselves Muslims. Did the Sahabas give them a new name? No. They continued calling themselves Muslim. They were mutas and lights. People yet continued calling themselves Muslims. So at that time also there were differences. Not that they were not. Now coming to the question, that therefore Sheikh Nasrud al-Bani says he should call yourself Salafi. My question is, which Salafi? Which Salafi? My counter question. And now I do not know how many times Salafi. Are you a Qutubi? Asruri? Ahmad Khali? I can name another Salafi. See, I am not speaking against anyone. Please don't get me wrong. I don't mean ill to any of them. But even in Salafi, there are various groups. And if you go to UK, Masha Allah, Subhan Allah, Allah Akbar, there are so many groups in UK, each group fighting against the other calling the other Salafi are kafir. Now it is by Allah. We will come to that later on if time permits. So which Salafi do you belong to? Again, see whatever label you give, there is bound to be tafarakah. When the Shi'as came, people said, we are Sunni. Again there was group, ahale sunnah wal jamaat. Then again there was division, hanafi, shafi, hamli, malaki, then we came with Salafi, alayahis. There is group even in this, the movement, the name, the name given by human beings, there is bound to be tafarakah. Even in Allah's name, Muslims, they are bound to be division. Allah told that. But don't think the name you give will not have divisions.  He told in the Quran, the Prophet predicted, yet the Prophet did, they call yourself ahale hadith, call yourself Salafi, ahale hadith. Which ahale hadith in Bombay where I come from, there are two ahale hadith, jamiyat ahale hadith and gurba ahale hadith. So which ahale hadith do I belong to now? One ahale hadith, blaming the other ahale hadith. See, I don't want to mean any harm to the ahale hadith. Therefore I said the topic is sensitive. Valla, I am only trying to talk about Quran and Allah's Rasul. Please don't feel bad. I respect Nasruddin Allah, Sheikh Nasruddin Al-Mani. I respect the Salafis. I look amongst all these groups that are there, we have to agree, the ahale hadith and the Salafis are the closest to the Quran and Sunnah. I am taught to say that. But, but which Salafi? So maybe during the earliest times of Sheikh Nasruddin Al-Mani, they won groups in the Salafi. Now they are groups. Sururi, Mathkhali, Putubi. Oh, he is not right. He is not right. He is calling him Salafi. But, so now we have new books. True Salafi. True Salafi. I read a book called Salafi Dawa. True Salafi. True Salafi. What is true Salafi? I say, you know we had a Dawa training program in Bombay where we invited people from different parts of the world. There were fourteen people, there were nineteen people from fourteen different countries. And many of them were from Madinah University MashaAllah, from Bahrain University, all more than fifty percent of Salafi MashaAllah. So, we had a discussion there. So then I asked the question. Salafi shortcut, short name. Instead of saying, I believe in Quran and hadith are going to be of Salafi solid, shortcut Salafi. So I asked him, the Salafi solid is better or Muhammad Salam is superior? Who is better? So they told Muhammad Salam. So why not call yourself Muhammadi? Right or wrong? In India, who calls themselves Muhammadi? You know? Do you know? Do we agree with them? No. Who calls themselves Muhammad in India? Who is superior? Muhammad Salam Allah. So one who submits civil to Allah is called Muslim. We know there are divisions in Muslim, but whatever name you give, they are going to be divisions. In the Hanafi masjid, there were four students. In Shafi masjid, there is Qadim and Jadeed. In the Ahle Hadith, I went to Kashmir, the many groups of Ahle Hadith. I went to Kerala, Mujahideen, KNM, Kailan Arbat and Mujahideen. There people don't call themselves Ahle Hadith, Mujahideen. If you go to Saudi Arabia and say I am Ahle Hadith, what is this new Ahle Hadith? Very few people of the Saudis know who is an Ahle Hadith. For them, they know Salafi. But Salafi and Ahle Hadith belong to the same group. The names are different. In some country, Ansari. So when he is saying call ourselves Salafi, that means the Ahle Hadiths of India, they are not Salafis. So here we realize that if you want to give a label, instead of Salafi, Muhammadi is better. Instead of Muhammadi is Muslim. Therefore, I say, I prefer calling myself Muslim. That's it. First a Muslim, last a Muslim. I am not hurting any of my Muslim brothers, whether it is Hanafi or Ashaafi or Ambuli or Maliki or Ahle Hadith or Salafi. Believe me, I love all. I love all my Muslim brothers. I am not here to hurt anyone's feeling. Therefore, I said, Come to come in terms as we ask any of you. I am coming to come in terms. I respect Abu Hanifa, Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Ahmad, Hambal, Imam Malik, Imam Shafi. I respect the great scholars of this. I respect the Salafi Saleen. I follow them. Allah SWT warns us. Warns us of something that we do need a warning about today in the world. Today, what happens to the Muslims? Every small thing we are divided. Small thing, we cannot work together. We are divided. If a person, for example, is tall, he doesn't get along with those who are short. I mean, that's a bit ridiculous, but it can happen. Allah SWT really has warned us about dispute amongst you as an ummah. If you are to dispute and argue what will happen, you lose your power and your might as an ummah. Today, we have two billion Muslims on the globe. We cannot agree to swat a fly. I'm honest with you. We have two billion Muslims on the globe. We cannot agree to swat a fly. Why?  And the sheikhs are fighting each other, calling the other a kafir. It's a reality. So what is happening? Our leaders are debating and arguing and fighting and calling each other names. The public are even more confused because any message of goodness, they are kept away. Don't go here. Don't go there. What is the story? What happens? Allah says. Verse number 46 of Suratul Anfal. Follow Allah and follow his Rasul and do not dispute with one another because it will result in your total failure and the going away or snatching away of your might as an ummah. Gone. Totally gone. Why? Because small disputes. Today, brothers and sisters don't speak to each other.  Uncles and aunts don't speak to each other. Trustees from one masjid do not get along with trustees from another masjid. Why? It's an issue of prestige. What are you talking about? We are an ummah. We share the shahada. That's enough.  We need the might as an ummah. We have the numbers. We have everything. But the problem is we are disputing and so Allah swt warns us in another verse in the Qur'an. Do you know what he says? The kuffar, they are supporters and protectors of one another. Come what may. They put aside their differences when it comes to sticking up for one another. This is in the Qur'an. We read the verse tonight. Allah swt warns us. This in fact is verse number 73 of the same surah. Do you know what Allah says after he tells us? That the kuffar stick up for one another and they protect one another. He says If you are not going to do the same, then there will be great fitnah and fasad on ash. That means if you are not going to stick up for one another and protect one another, then there will be chaos and corruption on the whole globe. Hence we find the chaos and corruption on the globe. Today it is a decree of Allah. We are totally disunited. We cannot see face to face. Yet we are born through one mother and father. May Allah swt bless the ummah. May Allah protect us. It is worth crying for my brothers and sisters. We are calling for unity. It is not going to come without tolerating one another. We need to understand not everybody is going to think the same. Not everybody is going to have the same inclinations. But don't we share the shahada? Isn't that stronger than the bond of blood my brothers and sisters? Gone are the days when the kuffar are excited because they can trample over us by the mere disunity that we are engaged in my brothers and sisters. We need it. We need it desperately. Our brothers are suffering across the globe. All over the reason is we are swearing one another. We are calling one another names. We do not want to look at one another. Whereas we all utter the shahada. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. My brothers and sisters, it is a passionate call. We want peace. We are searching for peace. We are the people of peace. Why then are we looked at as warmongers who are killing one another across the globe? Just because we have a little difference. May Allah swt protect this ummah and may He grant us unity. May He open our doors until we meet again.


In our previous video, we introduced k-means. Now, using this clustering technique, we begin by randomly placing k-centroids. Then, we iteratively assign points to the closest centroid and place the centroids in the middle of their clusters. Okay, I'll start off by painting three clusters. I want two of them nearby, and one of them a bit further away, like this. Now, again, I'm going to use the interactive k-means widget from the educational add-on so that I can show what exactly is going on in the background. I'll move the centroids so that one starts on the left and two of them start over on the right. Okay, now I run the k-means algorithm and wait until it converges. Clearly, we see something is not okay. The right cluster is split in two, and where I expected two clusters on the left, there's only one. So, running the algorithm again after I move the centroids around a bit, still keeping one on the left and two on the right, I see it still doesn't look quite right. Just to make sure, I'll double check the results in the scatter plot, but the resulting clustering seems to be wrong. Clearly, the k-means clustering depends on the initial placement of centroids. This means that I probably shouldn't be placing them entirely at random. As we've seen, that could lead us to suboptimal clusters. So, let's take a look at the painted data again. Maybe, in order to help k-means out, I can select the point that is the farthest away from the rest of the points and make that my initial centroid. Then, the second centroid could be the most distant point from the first, and in the same way I can choose a third centroid so that it's farthest away from both the first and second one. Okay, now I'll open interactive k-means and initialize the centroids in this way. I run k-means and see that it converges very fast, and this time I got the clusters that I expected. Also, I can quickly see that the correct clustering is in the scatter plot as well. Now, initializing centroids to points far away from each other help us obtain the right clusters in this situation. However, it's not a surefire method. Sometimes there's tricky outliers in our data that can mess this all up. And to bypass this, common centroid placement algorithms like k-means++ randomly choose centroids from a few candidates. Then they repeat the clustering multiple times and only report the best result. Orange's k-means widget, the one we should actually be using for clustering, utilizes this type of initialization and reruns the algorithm a bunch of times. Now remember, we only used interactive k-means so we could visualize how clustering works in two dimensions. Okay, we find three well-separated clusters. So, if k-means runs multiple times, how does it know which result to keep? Also, what happens if we start to consider other possible values of k? Is there an algorithm that can guess the correct number of clusters? Well, you'll just have to wait and find out in our next video.


The African Petroleum Producers Association and African Export Input Bank, AFRI Bank have a court for the establishment of an African Energy Transition Bank. The call is contained in a joint communique issued by the press officer of AFRI Bank at the end of a meeting with the APPO in La Nude Angola. According to the communique, the aim is to support an African-led energy transition strategy that is consistent with the global preserving the environment and livelihood. The communique said that two institutions had committed to taking necessary actions to promote a sustainable balanced solution to the challenge of financing the oil and gas industry in Africa during the energy transition.
