Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the three things from Manchester City to Everton One today at the Etihad, the blues beaten for the first time under Carlo Anciolotti, first defeat in six as well since the Anfield Derby, first thing I'm going to talk about today is the basics that Everton just don't do very well, the kind of thing that had Carlo Anciolotti turning his hair out on the touch line, just simple things, you know, messing around with the ball at the ball, at the back when we're under pressure from a team who presses brilliantly like Manchester City, they used to do, and we're taking chances at the back, you know, you can see Anciolotti throwing his arms up and screaming at them to get it forward, and there's just lots of little things we don't do well, but just basic stuff, you know, when we're under pressure, just get rid of the ball, don't take chances, you know, stop trying to pass through people, you know, especially in dangerous areas.  I just thought there was just basic things we didn't do very well today, you know, we're under hitting passes and allowing them to stretch us and spring an attack on us and we've got to get that out of our system, you've got to get a way of playing where players will do the basics, you've got to know how to win football matches or how to stay in games. It was like when we conceded the first goal, shut up, shop for the next 10 minutes, get yourself back in the game or at least stay in the game and we didn't, we were all over the place and it's little things like that, I think that he'll be working on most definitely about getting that shape. But just do the basics, right? Do the basics, right?  We just try to overcomplicate the times and I think it just causes us issues but these are all things obviously, you know, anti-lotty and his team will be working on but it's just frustrating the times that we seem to cause ourselves more problems than the opposition do at times and today was evident because when you're playing against the team, you've got the movement of Manchester City and you can attack at pace without even having a guard or stealing, you know, real proper top players but still cause us problems. You can't give the ball away as cheaply or make the same basic mistakes we did today without getting punished and we were punished. That's my first thing today to take away from that. Second thing is VAR. I've got to talk about it because it's nonsense. It's absolutely nonsense. It's ruining the game, the way we watch the game. I've always been a supporter of VAR because of what it should be and let's have it right. VAR literally just shows you what's happened. The people who interpret it are the issue, absolutely the issue. I don't understand how you can have referees doing it personally because it's the mate of a referee and everyone sees it very differently. Some referees will give something, the week later they won't give it. I feel as though in Germany I think they use an independent team who does their VAR but some of the things, you know, there was decision today, the Mares, Raid Mares, mong ball over the top, he's offside or the lines and post a flag up, he carries on, he handballs it twice in the thing and then him and Dean come together and he goes down. Now, the referees blew his whistle so everybody stopped. He didn't get the ball anyway, picked for that. So they're looking at the offside, then they review a penalty but the referees blew his whistle so that's the end of it if he's blown his whistle. Nothing can happen from it but yet they're still looking at a penalty but then showing the double handball. And the game stopped for about three minutes and people inside the stadium are like, you're taking what? It's just nonsense, we've seen it all over the weekend, we've seen goals choked off for a heel, there was one today asked a villain how he went on and won the game but the lad's heel, I don't know whether it was Grealish or Wesley, he's won them back and it's his heel that they've given offside and a goal this lad now barely could have gone on and won that game. And Villa would have been struggling maybe and ultimately could cost them the Premier League status so the interpretation of it is pathetic and it needs to be sorted immediately. We've seen this over the last few days, absolutely crazy decisions and something has to be done. The Premier League have come up and said they're not going to change anything at the moment and it's like you need to because the offside rule and things like that are just nonsense when you're talking about millimetres, it's absolutely nonsense. We need to be some kind of middle ground or we need to be given the advantage to the attacker or maybe your feet or one foot's got to be onside so to speak something like that, something where we can look at it and go he's off because of that. In that situation cities go over the stud today but that's fine, that's fine if the goal that was chalked off Phil Foden's goal, that's fine because we know the rules. I just think it's bizarre and I think it's bizarre that there's different interpretations every week it's nonsense. The final thing for me today is that again today showed us where the squad is thin and it'll show Carlo Anzolotti that we do need plays. Players like Guilfee Sigarton just isn't quick enough, Delphi isn't quick enough, that make up doesn't wear, shame is cold and coming to a time when he'll be moved on I'm sure or certainly he'll become the understudy to that right back. Obviously Carlo Anzolotti's got to play what he's got to play at the moment injuries will dictate that but today shows you when you play against the top team and it's even a team that's got three youngsters in like your adult three or four young players in and we're still knowing it. What this squad needs is power and pace, it needs people who can get about the pitch in important areas, that being centre of midfield I think. Obviously we're missing John Philly Gabbaman but we don't really know much about him do we, but he's a big lad who can get about the pitch so hopefully he'll be like a new sign when he comes back. Obviously Andre Gomez we're missing someone with that creativity and craft on the ball, we're missing him as well but today in games like this I think Carlo Anzolotti will have learnt more today than probably what he has done in the previous half a dozen games, the ones that he's watched and the two that he's managed as well. I think today shows you the difference in quality and where we need to get up to speed and it was highlighted again today, the minute you've come up against a team who's got movement and ability we can't get near them. Now okay, maybe week to week and maybe if we'd have had a week's rest we might have been able to get a bit closer, the will have been fatigued there today but you can't use that as an excuse. They had better players than us in the middle of the park and that's the level we've got to reach and we give the ball away far too cheaply going back to point one given doing the basics properly, we've just given the ball up cheaply. So I think today will have been a good lesson for Carlo Anzolotti in terms of what the squad requires and I think we've seen today that younger quicker and more powerful players are needed to, because in general this squad is a decent squad it really is and obviously we're missing players and we need those players fit but there's still those holes in the squad that would make this team better and certainly midfield such a key area in the Premier League that you have to have players that can compete and we were just far too slow in there today so I think it'll be a good learning exercise so to speak for Carlo Anzolotti today. Right that's the three things that I've taken from today City 2 everyone disappointed but we've had a good run since the Anfield game we took more points than probably people expected and so we have to start again now and certainly in the Premier League we've got Brighton at home next and I'd fancy us to get the three points there, tricky games it'll be I expect us to win that and then carry on moving up the table and station everybody above us.

for the success of the group's work at our level. This time, it is a clear evidence of the great opportunity for cooperation between countries and economies with shared value and going center around peace, tolerance, and prosperity. Our country does not share geographical borders, yet they converge on their pursuit for peace and their joint action to achieve well-being and prosperity. We in the UAE believe that economies offer the best way to achieve peace, security, and progress, especially when governments and people have the will and courage to build partnership and face challenges. We also believe that only partnership can overcome today's conflict and overlapping and overlapping challenges. The most important of which are food and energy security, climate change, and healthcare. This is embodied in the first project of our portal which has focused on food, climate smart agriculture, and wind energy, and energy storage. As I extend my appreciation to the leader of the group and the technical team of the four countries for what has been achieved. I would like to emphasize the importance of giving priority during the coming period to research and development healthcare and states. I also call for building on the strength that each of our countries who listen and lead the sector, the leader. I look forward today to a fruitful summit and subsequently to work with you within the I2U2 group at the bilateral level and within other international platforms. The most important which are the G20 summit and the conference of the party that the UAE will host at its 28th session next year. I also hope that our project will be a model for those who desire peace and prosperity and will provide evidence for the great opportunity of pro-conflicts and squandered by blind extremists at the expense of the people eager to live a good life. Thank you. Thank you, President. It is my honour to invite the Prime Minister of the State of Israel, His Excellency Yair Lapid, to deliver his opening statement. Thank you. The Honourable President of the United States, Joe Biden. The Honourable President of the United Arab Emirates, His Royal Highness, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed el Nahyan. The Honourable Prime Minister of India, Niranjra Modi. Friends, this group was born several months ago during a dinner at the home of the UAE ambassador in Washington, D.C. We sat around the table and spoke about how, after we get control over the pandemic, anyone trying to go back to how things used to be would fail. Anyone who understands that we live in a new world with new challenges would succeed and flourish. That dinner was on a Wednesday evening a few days later in what might be a world record in the field of international relations. My friend, Dr. Chai Shankar, the Minister of External Affairs of India, was already in my office in Jerusalem. Tony Blinken and Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed were on Zoom and we held the first summit of this squad, the I2U2 Forum. Our starting point was that in the new world we live in, we need to improve our ability to cooperate quickly to make the most of our comparative advantages to put the right advance tag together with the right resources. We need to think in new terms when it comes to energy, food security and water tech, defense and trade. Each one of our countries brings very different challenges and very different qualities to the table. But that is what makes our potential even greater. In the 21st century, challenges are local, but solutions are global. Let me give you two quick examples. The entire world is dealing with issues relating to food security. The combination of the climate crisis, the war in Europe and the COVID-19 pandemic has created global food insecurity. Food security is going to be the main issue in Africa and Latin America and East Asia and of course in the Middle East. An initiative like the Food Corridor between India and the UAE, which was put together by this group, is a clear example of a creative solution to a problem we are all facing. The fast transportation of food and preservation technologies, the ability to connect relative advantages together, this is the solution to the problem. Another example is the solar and wind energy storage project. In this case as well, the idea is to make the most of technological capabilities, some of which are still being developed, in order to deal with an energy market that is facing a serious crisis. Since the war in Ukraine broke out, each one of us has had to deal with the crisis on the local level. Its effects on cost of living has been immediate and dramatic and of course this has political implications. Real solutions will only come through cooperation between countries that know how to put together brainpower, knowledge and resources on the same table. I would like to emphasize this is not a philanthropic group. We want to change the world for the better, but we are also creating relative advantages for our countries, for our businesses, for our science sector. In both projects that I mentioned, lists of local companies and relevant technologies have already been shared. Our goal is for the private market to be a full partner in this initiative. This group is interesting because we are four very different countries, but when we started talking it became clear we all want the same things. For our children to be warm in the winter, for them to have food on the table and clean water from the tap, for them to enjoy a quality education and advanced healthcare and transportation infrastructure. We also want to reduce the damage our generation inflicted on climate and the environment. These are big challenges. No single country, no matter how big or how rich, can deal with them alone. On the other hand, I also believe, and this is part of the idea behind this meeting, that groups that are too big may end up being ineffective. This quad is, in my view, the correct model. Our advantages are clear to one another and so are all our needs. We can create enough flexibility and a mechanism that can make fast and smart decisions. At the same time, we can always find ways to create ad hoc connections with countries that want to advance projects with us. The projects I mentioned are just the beginning. The list is ongoing. Our role as leaders is to push our teams as hard as possible to research the fields in which real change can be made to examine your projects, to bring them to the table, to connect them with the scientific and business communities. The world is watching this meeting. This shows that something special is happening here. A new kind of economic and regional cooperation, cooperation that is more flexible and better adapted to the problems we face. The diplomatic and economic results that we all emerge from, that will emerge from this meeting, will highlight our commitment to a new kind of cooperation. In this partnership, each country and each partner brings their own strength so that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This is just the beginning. Thank you. Thank you, Prime Minister. It is my honor to invite the President of the United States of America, the Honorable Joseph R. Biden Jr., to deliver his opening statement. Thank you very much, Prime Minister Lapid, for convening this group for the first time at a leader's level. Prime Minister Modi, President Benzaiad, thank you for the work you're doing, deepening the linkage and the muscle cooperation between critical partners in the Middle East and Indo-Pacific to deliver important, very important projects for all our peoples. The simple truth is this. The challenge we face in the world, and so our world in the 21st century, demand that we find new ways of working together, whether it's accelerating climate crisis, dealing with the accelerating climate crisis, which is being felt here in the Middle East every single day, or growing food insecurity in volatile energy markets made worse by Russia's brutal and unprovoked attack against its neighbor Ukraine. Or, as we've all experienced firsthand over the past two years, tackling the health security needs and economic fallout from a global pandemic. All these issues, all these issues require cooperation and coordination, and none of us, none of us can mount a comprehensive response on our own. And the more we work together, the more we'll see the benefits multiply and grow to advance our shared commitment to peace, stability, and growing prosperity. They all go together. When our foreign ministers first got together in this format last October, I think we all immediately understood the potential to advance a common agenda. It's about demonstrating the importance of practical impacts of building Israel's normalization and economic integration, using these trusted partnerships to crack down on common challenges. Our nations represent some of the most innovative technologically capable and entrepreneurial people on the planet. At every step, at every step, we should be asking, what can we achieve together? The first two projects that we're tackling together on food security and clean energy are designed to take on two of the most urgent crises affecting people around the globe. Food insecurity, the UAE's investment to develop integrated agricultural parks across India with the support of the American and Israeli private sector experts, has the potential to sustainably increase India's food yields in the region three-fold in just five years. India is a major, major food producer in the world. Think of the beneficial impacts this will have on India's farmers and the people suffering from hunger and malnutrition in the region. Similarly, the United States is already funding a feasibility study for a hybrid renewable energy project in India to develop 300 megawatts of wind and solar capacity as well as battery storage. With our four nations, our four nations working together to unite our expertise and drive private sector investment, this is going to help India reach its climate and energy goal of 500 megawatts of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. Our challenge, our challenge together is deliver real results that people can feel in their everyday lives. Another key area where we can make big differences is in infrastructure. There's an enormous need around the world for infrastructure. Infrastructure is done the right way, transparently, in partnership with the communities that are being served. Right now, there's a vacuum. So over the next few years, this group is going to work to identify new infrastructure projects that we can invest in and develop together, together. This meeting is just the first step, a chance to demonstrate the value of this new format for cooperation between our four nations. And I'm looking forward to staying closely connected and engaged at the leader's level as we build out the scope of the I2U2 and work together for everyone. We can do a great deal if we stick together. So I want to thank you all for having this agreeing to proceed this way. I think we can do some great things. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. It is my honor to invite the Prime Minister of the Republic of India, His Excellency Narendra Modi, to deliver his opening statement. Excellency, Prime Minister Lapid, Your Highness, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Your Excellency, President Biden. First of all, my warmest congratulations and best wishes to Prime Minister Lapid on assuming the office of Prime Minister. My heartfelt thanks to him as well for hosting today's summit. This truly is a meeting of strategic partners and we are all good friends as well and there are a lot of similarities in our approach and in our interests. Excellencies, Your Highness, the I2U2 has established a positive agenda from its very first summit today. We have identified joint projects in several areas and have also made a roadmap to take them forward. Under the I2U2 framework, we have agreed to increase joint investment in six important areas, water, energy, transport, space, health and food security. It is clear that both the vision and agenda of I2U2 are progressive and practical. We can give an impetus to our agenda by mobilizing the mutual strengths of our countries, that is capital, expertise and markets, and we can make an important contribution in this way to the global economy. In the midst of increasing global uncertainties, our cooperative framework is also a good model for practical cooperation. I am sure that with the I2U2, we will make an important contribution at a global level in the areas of energy security, food security and economic growth. Thank you. Thank you to the distinguished leaders. We will now continue to the closed dialogue between the leaders. The live broadcast will end here. Thank you to the press. Please kindly make your way out. Well, you've just been listening to the I2U2 virtual...
