Hello everybody hooded Cobra Commander 788 here it is Class of Friday during Cobra Convergence 6. So we're looking at Cobra 6 inch classified series figures. This time we are looking at the Cobra Viper in two forms. We are looking at the target exclusive special mission Cobra Island Viper and the Python Patrol Viper. Full disclosure the Python Patrol Viper was sent to me by Hasbro. I did not purchase it but I thought it would be a good idea to look at these two together. Looking at the standard Cobra Viper packaging first we have the window pane showing the figure and the accessories. We have the GI Joe classified series logo and the special mission Cobra Island logo. This is the Cobra Viper. We have some artwork here on the front and the side showing the viper pretty good. I do like this artwork and we have multiple vipers on the side encouraging you to army build this figure. This is number 22 in the classified series on the back of the box. We have the Cobra Island artwork that we've seen on other figures in this series and on the other side we have the symbols which represent his specialties. This is Sergeant Slaughter's Boot which they found lodged in a Cobra Viper's posterior regions. This is a picket fence turned on its side. This is the emblem of the All Valley Karate tournament and this means he is sleepy. Looking at the packaging for the Python Patrol Viper it's basically the same as the other one there's the window pane showing the figure and the accessories. There's the Python Patrol logo all of this is the same it's still called the Cobra Viper it's not called the Python Patrol Viper or the Python Viper no name change. It has the same artwork the only difference is a color palette swap. I take that back they are cropped very slightly differently but not so different that you would notice. This is number 42 in the classified series. Same artwork on the back and the same specialties on the side. Let's take these figures out of their boxes and take a look at them. Here are the two vipers out of the packaging. These figures are almost exactly the same other than the colors. Some of the accessories are just straight reissues with no change. The standard Viper does have one accessory the Python Patrol Viper does not have. The standard Viper has this scarf. The special mission Cobra Island Viper is based on the Cobra Viper version one from 1986 and the Python Patrol Cobra Viper is based on the Viper version two from 1989. The vintage Python Patrol Viper was a recolored reissue of the version one Viper and they have followed that tradition with the classified series just recoloring the first issue of their Viper and as you can see they stuck pretty closely to the vintage colors. There are some differences so we'll take a look at them. Let's take a look at the Viper's accessories and we'll start with these goggles.  They are in soft plastic. They fit over the helmet. They have glossy but not transparent goggles. They can be removed. It's a tight fit so if you don't get them firmly enough on the helmet they do have a tendency to fall off. The next accessory is this scarf which is removable. I am undecided on whether I like this scarf. It's not a necessary piece but I don't really like the exposed neck so the scarf covers that. He has a backpack. The backpack is somewhat inspired by the vintage backpack. It is mostly black and it has a fair number of utilities and pockets on it but the classified backpack has multiple paint applications. It has pockets on the sides and the back with some buckles. It has red smoke grenades and it has this blue panel with a red cobra emblem and it has a coiled rope. All really good details. You can remove that backpack but I have to say I had a really hard time getting this on the figure because the hole in the back of the vest does not line up very well with the hole in the back of the figure. I had to push up really hard on that vest to line up those holes for the peg on the backpack and I should not have to do that. It wasn't so much a problem on the other figure though. That one worked much better. He has an assault rifle in black plastic. It may take some inspiration from the assault rifle on the version one figure but not a lot. It's going in a different direction. You can remove the assault rifle. It can be a little bit of a challenge to get the assault rifle in the hand because of this closed loop that you have to fit the thumb in. This rifle is very modern looking. It's nice. It's got a lot of detail. It has this what I guess is a scope here on top. It has a vented shroud over the barrel and there is a hole in the barrel so you can add some blast effects if you want to. It has a foregrip and the magazine is removable but the magazine actually clips in. It doesn't just friction in so it's very solid in there. Rounding out the removable accessories, he includes a pistol that fits in a holster on the right leg and it can be removed. Let's look at the articulation on these figures. They both have the same articulation and it's a pretty standard classified figure articulation which is generally pretty good. His head is on a ball joint and he has a swivel at the neck so there's great range of motion on the head all the way around up and down side to side really great movement on the head. He has butterfly joints at the shoulders which are pretty tight but they can be moved on this figure. He can move his arm up at the shoulder about so far and swivel at the shoulder all the way around. He has a swivel at the bicep. He has double jointed elbows. He has a swivel on the left wrist and on the right wrist he has both a swivel and an in and out hinge. He has a large hinge at the rib cage which is standard for classified figures but he has this vest piece which covers that. It does cover the unsightly chest cut but it also limits the ab crunch. He's still got good range of motion at the waist. At the hip he has a leg split and forward and slightly backward motion of the leg at the hip. He has a cut at the thigh for a twist. He has double jointed knees. He has a twist at the boot cut and he has hinged and rocker ankles. Let's look at the sculpt design and color of these figures and on this standard viper much like the version 1 he has this blue helmet with the silver faceplate. In addition to that he has some spots of red and gray in the back and mine has a little spot of sloppy paint. He has this black tactical vest that wraps around the torso. It has some red stripes on the back and red straps over the shoulders. There are also some red straps and buckles on the front. Some red grenades attached to the front and a red cobra emblem on the right side upper chest. There is some kind of device showing protruding out of the pouch here on the front. I'm not sure exactly what it is. Overall this vest does a pretty good job of mimicking but updating the tactical vest on the version 1 figure. It looks pretty good. It does hinder the articulation but it looks better. That tactical vest also has an attached belt piece with pouches and a red cobra emblem belt buckle. Overall this looks good. Under that vest he has a red undershirt and a blue uniform shirt and long blue sleeves on the arms. This is a little departure from the version 1 figure which had rolled up sleeves on the arm so you can see some of the flesh tone under the shirt. He also has black forearm guards with red padding on the outside of those forearm guards and black gloves. Around his left wrist he seems to have a watch that is partially covered by his forearm armor. I see a little bit of flesh tone under that forearm armor so in theory maybe if you could remove these pieces he would have bare arms under that. The lower half of the figure has much of the same colors as the version 1 figures with a blue uniform and these red padded panels on the outside and inside of the leg. Kind of an odd choice with these panels on the classified figure. These red panels were a little more clear on the version 1 figure. On the version 1 figure you had red stripes down the outside leg interrupted by these blue pockets. Then you had red stripes all the way down the inside leg down to the boot. On the classified figure you have the red panels on the upper part of the outside leg but not on the lower part and on the inside leg you just have it here on the inner thigh and it stops right at the articulation cut at the thigh and does not go all the way down to the boot. He has black knee pads. Those look really good. He has tall black boots mimicking the version 1 figure and those boots have this padded ridge pattern all the way down the front of the boot and the top of the foot. Let's turn our attention to the python patrol viper starting with the accessories. As mentioned before no scarf on this guy. I do not love the exposed neck but the scarf also covers some of the tactical vests so it's a wash. Like the other guy this one also has goggles on the helmet in black flexible plastic. This one has red lenses instead of the glossy black lenses and that can be removed. He has a backpack in the same mold as the other one with some slightly different paint. He has a red cobra emblem and the coiled rope and yellow smoke grenades. You may have a problem with the yellow but I suppose if you accept the red the yellow isn't much worse. This is python patrol we're talking about. You know stealthy. It was much easier for me to get this backpack on the python patrol figure than on the standard viper. The holes in the back and the vest line up much better. He has the black assault rifle and it may be exactly the same as the other one. This one has some smudges on it but that's from my fingers. To my eye they look very close to the same. As with the other one you can remove this from his hand. The design makes it difficult to get in his hand but you can take it out and the assault rifle seems to have all the same details. Again it looks like the same color and it does have that removable magazine that clips in so it stays in quite firmly. Rounding out the removable accessories we have the same black pistol and the same black holster on the right side. The articulation on these two figures is the same so I won't go into that so let's look at the color changes. These colors closely mimic the colors of the vintage python patrol viper with a black helmet and a red faceplate but some additional yellow on the helmet and gray in the back. He has the exposed neck and he has a black undershirt and a gray uniform shirt and over that he has the tactical vest. It's the same mold as the other figure but the colors are different. It is in a base dark gray plastic with a light gray panel on the upper right side and a red cobra emblem on the upper right side. Then there is another lighter gray panel along the back. He has yellow straps over the shoulders. He has black grenades on the chest and a black magazine for his assault rifle. He has those pouches in dark gray and that device that's sticking out of the pouch is picked out in black plastic on this so it's a bit more obvious but I still don't know exactly what it's supposed to be. That belt that is attached to the vest is in yellow. That's a yellow paint application all over on the pouches and the belt buckle and another spot of errant paint on the vest. His arms are in dark gray with a light gray lattice pattern. This is for the stealthy python patrol uniforms and this mimics the lattice pattern on the vintage figure but in much finer detail you can just do more at this scale than you could on a three and three quarter inch figure.  At least he doesn't have flesh colored straps like on the vintage figure. That looks way better. The legs are in gray with pouches on the front and the side of the legs and yellow padded panels on the upper hips and on the inside legs. Just with the other figure we have black knee pads and tall black boots with that ridged armor pattern on the front of the boots and on the top of the feet. I'm glad to get some vipers. I love me some vipers you know that and I think they did a pretty good job of capturing the general feel of the vintage figures while taking advantage of the larger scale and what you can do with the six inch figure that you just can't do on a three and three quarter inch figure. I feel the same about these classified vipers as I do about the vintage figures. I think the standard viper looks pretty good. I think the colors are great. The blue, the red, and the black are very cobra like. Python Patrol has the same issue Python Patrol had in the late 80s. I don't think I will ever like the Python Patrol colors as much as the standard issue cobras. Having said that, the Python Patrol Viper is probably the least bad of those options. It has a few things going for it with the gray and the black and the red. Although I'm happy to have the Python Patrol Viper if I were to unrebuild either of these it would definitely be the standard issue. That was my review of the Special Mission Cobra Island Cobra Viper and the Python Patrol Cobra Viper. I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you're enjoying Cobra Convergence 6 this year.

We're going to be talking about the arrest of four members of the PSL yesterday in Denver, Colorado. Now these members of the PSL were very actively involved in organizing protests demanding justice for Elijah McLean, who was murdered by the police last year. And these arrests are only part of a larger strategy in the United States and many parts of the United States to crack down on protesters who have been demanding justice for the victims of racist police policies and state policies. Thank you so much, Eugene, for joining us. No, thank you so much for having me. It's always a pleasure. Eugene, could you first begin by talking about the context of the arrest itself and whether you've been able to get in touch with some of the activists who were arrested and what's happening on the legal scene right now? Absolutely. So what took place was that yesterday morning, a number of, well, actually late last night and yesterday morning, late the night before and yesterday morning, there was a concerted effort by police in the area of Denver, Colorado to single out a number of activists, four members of the PSL, leading members of the PSL. And it appears that perhaps some of our allies as well were also targeted and we're still trying to get the full force of who may have been caught in this drag net, but they were stopping people at work. One of the individuals, Joel Northam, actually had a SWAT team with an armored vehicle show up to his house to arrest him. Lillian House, another one of the activists who was arrested, was surrounded on the road by five police cars and taken in. So they were taken in in a manner that made it seem like they were multi-state criminals or something that had committed a string of armed robberies or whatever it may be, despite the fact that the charges that have been leveled against them are for peaceful protest. And so the context for this really is that over the past two months, there have been a range of protests around the murder of Elijah McClain by Denver, Aurora police, which is just outside of Denver. And the police have been massively embarrassed by this. There have been huge demonstrations, thousands of people, the taking over of a city council meeting at one point and hours of a very poignant testimony being given by the families of many police brutality victims in Denver and in the surrounding area. And so this seems to come really as a, it seems as retaliation for those protests and for that exposure of the police. And it was done in such a way and the charges are such, you know, inciting a riot, kidnapping. I mean, these are completely bogus charges when we could talk more about it. But it seems entirely designed to create the maximum sense of fear, the maximum amount of demonization, and to really try to criminalize the protest movement, because these people are really the most identifiable, or at least some of the most identifiable leaders of this protest movement in the area. And to see them charged like this with these kind of charges and this kind of police response seems to us to be really 100% aimed at scaring people from coming out and continuing to protest and continuing to challenge the police. So far we have not been able to, we've only had limited contact with a few people. They're being held, you know, for people to just understand a little bit more. So there's the city of Denver, which people have heard about, and then there's some surrounding counties. And the charges come from one of the, at least one of the surrounding counties. We're still trying to figure it out because they're, you know, not giving all the information out. And so the Denver police arrested people and said, well, we're holding them for another county, and then they have to come get them and they have to do something. So they're using a bureaucratic process to try to keep people certainly in jail and not able to get out on bond and try to keep them in communicado from us, their comrades, from their families and from the broader public. Right. So in this context, could you also talk a bit about the protests that have been going on? You mentioned it slightly, but also a bit more detail about whether there has been any action against the police officers who were involved in the murder of Elijah McKinnon. It was a very brutal murder. He was, he was put in a strangler hold, he was injected. And so has there been any action against the police officers and what have been the demands that have been going on among the protesters? Well, I'm really glad that you raised that because district attorney Young, who leveled the charges against the protesters, is the same district attorney who in the end of June this year put out a long press release saying that he was not going to charge the three officers who had murdered Elijah McClain. The demands of the protest movement have been that these officers be arrested, that they be charged, that they be convicted. And prior to that, the demand was for the case to be reopened. Now the governor of Colorado is saying he's reexamining it, but this district attorney Young in the 17th judicial district of Colorado is saying that there, even though that the murder of Elijah McClain is on camera, even though it's very clear from the officer's body camera footage that they lied completely about what took place, despite the fact that even this district attorney was at pains to say, well, I'm not agreeing with them. I'm just saying it's not a crime, basically, which is absurd. You know, they have done nothing to bring these people to justice. And so many of the demonstrations that are linked to these charges and there's four specific demonstrations are directly linked to this. There was June 27th, which many people saw around the world because there was a brutal crackdown on a vigil of individuals playing the violin because Elijah McClain was a self-taught violin player. Some of the charges, including believe this are not kidnapping, result from a protest that was large enough that it surrounded a police station. But they were surrounding the police station because a photo had come out the same day of three Aurora police officers mocking the death of Elijah McClain. Now those three officers were fired because this demonstration was so large, so spirited, and there was so much outrage in the area. And the others are sort of protests that people know, including one where there was a right-wing car attack, a right-wing individual who at least we think it was a right-wing individual. It's not 100% clear, but it does seem that way drove their car into a protest there. So there's been a huge movement. And many of these protests have been thousands of people, two, three, 4,000 people. They've taken over highways. They've really made huge news in the Denver area and have brought out a major, broad cross-section of people from the community to protest. But we've seen absolutely no action. So we've got the same district attorney who says the three cops who murdered someone on camera will go free, regardless of whatever any of us may think, but that these activists will potentially be jailed. That's what he wants to do for maybe dozens of years, maybe longer than that. It's an unbelievable dichotomy. And I think it shows how clearly there is no justice for the victims of police murder when those who are demanding justice are more criminalized than the cops caught on camera committing a murder. So what we do have here is the continuous trend where, again, its focus is entirely on the protesters at the end of the day. Were they violent? Were they not? That seems to be the narrative and the rhetoric of the state and the establishment for the very beginning. And in this context, of course, we've also had the top US administration officials over the past two days, both William Barr and Jeffrey Ross, the attorney and deputy attorney generals, stating that even sedition can be used against those protesters who have been demanding justice. So this marks a completely new phrase so to speak. Yes, I think that this is, it really is unbelievable. I mean, there's been about 300 federal prosecutions so far. And Bill Barr's statements, I mean, it's in the way they were reported, it almost, I felt, and much of the mainstream media didn't show how outrageous this is. I mean, his direction to US attorneys across the country is look to charge people even when state and local officials do not want to charge them. And that's why he mentioned sedition, because he said, look for any federal charge you can find. And of course, some of them he mentioned are like the charges they used in Portland that people were allegedly, of course, this is false, allegedly attacking a federal courthouse. But he also mentioned sedition, which in the United States context means using violence essentially against the government authority. So it's unclear if this would even be able to stick, but he's encouraging people to look through any protest or arrested, even if they were not arrested by federal authorities, see what they were charged with and try to see if he could pin something on them. And what we've seen so consistently from Bill Barr, from Donald Trump, from the FBI is that they have tried to criminalize ideology and they've singled out most notably Antifa, which just stands for anti-fascist, of course.  And I think that's what's so scary about this sedition charge, because what we're really starting to see is a direct and a clear criminalization of political views and political ideology and an attempt not just to arrest people and charge them for things that they allegedly did, but really for thought crimes of being a part of broader ideological political movements that are certainly opposed to racism, certainly opposed to police terrorism in this country, but that more specifically are also looking to fight against the growing threat of these various fascist and semi-fascist forces, many of whom seem to be deeply entrenched and enshrined within the Trump administration and to really bring this into a major way. So I think we haven't seen the last of this yet. I think in the lead-up to the election, we're going to see much, much more of this. And the final thing I'll just say on this, this district attorney in Colorado is a Democrat. And there's almost like an arms race that's happening now, because Trump has said so often, well, we're going to do everything to criminalize the arsonists and the looters and whatever. And so now the Democrats are at deep, deep pains. Joe Biden even released an ad to this effect that they also will crack down aggressively on the movement and that they don't believe in arson or anything like that. And so you see these local district attorneys, the mayor of Washington DC, Muriel Bowser, their Democrats, many of them are Biden supporters, and they're saying, yes, let's go after them. Muriel Bowser, the mayor of DC who painted Black Lives Matter on the street, actually took the federal government to task for not being tough enough on protesters. So we're seeing this interesting competition that's heating up in the context of the U.S. elections to see which party can be most intolerant towards really left-wing political ideologies and can move more quickly to criminalize the actions of communities that have been unheard for so long and are doing whatever they can to enter the political conversation. Absolutely. And it's very important to see that you brought up the elections because as we know, most of the mainstream media is now, like we talked about earlier, completely gotten back on track, so to speak, and is discussing purely everything from an electoral term. So how do we see, how exactly are the movements right now working? Because now when we go beyond the Trump versus Biden dichotomy, how are the movements that over the past few months have really radicalized this space? What are they up to right now in a general sense, of course? I'm sure each movement has its own specificities, its own demands, but how do you see the broader trend that's going on? Well, I can tell you, this is maybe the most interesting electoral year I've ever been a part of. Usually most social movements totally demobilize, but it seems the opposite is actually happening this year. I mean, certainly people saw what's happening in Portland, but you look at Chicago, you look at Louisville, which isn't making any news, but having big protests. Obviously, what was happening in Denver, New York City, where there had been major protests this week around the issue of ICE, and I believe 25 people were actually arrested this week in relationship to that, and this is in relationship to some brutality in the ICE immigration detention camps. But what we're seeing is that people are not demobilizing. I mean, there's certainly quite a bit of disagreement in movements about how exactly to orient towards Biden, whether to support him, whether to not support him, whether to support a third party, whether to not vote. But one thing that people seem very united around is the millions of people who have been coming out into the streets over the past few months is the organizations that have really been driving that are continuing to come out, continuing to push people, continuing to protest, and continuing to fight. And I can say maybe the last time we've seen an election year like that, maybe 1968, 1964, at the height of the civil rights movement where even in an electoral year, the movements actually continue to grow because people recognize that the whole political establishment, even if they preferred one to another, was essentially bankrupt and was not going to answer the demands of the movement and that we had to stay in the streets. So we're seeing quite a bit of mobilization, and I think we will actually see more. There are a lot of calls for people to come out and to really start preparing now for a post-election reality that could be very serious and very contentious. So it's a very interesting set of time of moment right now, and I think it's very interesting specifically because there seems to be a push towards independence from the two major parties and people saying, hey, we are the movements in the streets. We have our own views, our own ideas, and we need to stay out there and have our own agenda and not just be dictated to by someone from on high. Absolutely. Thank you so much, Eugene, for talking to us. Thank you so much for having me. That's all your time for today. Keep watching People's Dispatch.


Hello and welcome to week four of AFCB TV's preview show. It's been a very busy seven days and we have plenty coming up for you today. We'll be looking back at the games against Everton and MK Dons, as well as previewing this weekend's game against Chelsea. And we'll also be seeing what happened when Dorset Children's Deaf Society visited Vitality Stadium earlier this week. Well, Chris, let's start back at last weekend's game against Everton. Still undefeated. Still going to win the league, as we said this time last week. But yeah, it all happened last week, didn't it? I think everybody saw afterwards it was a great point to come back and get from a situation they probably shouldn't have found themselves in in the first place, being 2-0 down. 10 against 10, lots of drama, lots of debate about the red card decisions as well, which still go on even now.  I think once Theo Walkout goes to ground, the referee's got a tough decision to make. So yeah, I think as a defender trying to avoid contact, but it still was pretty harsh for me. So we're looking back at a couple of decisions over the last couple of weeks, the West Ham penalty, sending off against Everton, decisions that could have gone the other way. But yeah, as you say, still unbeaten. So the four momentum keeps rolling on, and everyone I think would have taken seven points from the first nine for sure. And of course, Eddie House side, they've now picked up 25 points from losing positions since the start of last season. What is it about the side and comebacks? It's amazing, isn't it? That comeback king's tag was sort of launched last year, if you like, and nothing at the moment to the signal that it's going to be going away anytime soon. I was speaking to Josh King after the game actually last week, and he said that definitely what they did last season helps them in those situations where teams sometimes they go 2-0 down, particularly at home against 10 men, you'd expect them to fold. But actually, Josh King said it actually almost motivates us in a way that we know we can do it. Obviously, they'd like not to be 2-0 down. He did it, also say, by the way, I'd like the fact that we could be ahead in games. That would be lovely. But yeah, so at the minute, I think everybody, when Bournemouth go 2-0 down, depending on the opponents, if you go 2-0 down to Man City, it's a long way back from there. But 2-0 down against anybody else, you've always got a feeling that Bournemouth can come back. And obviously, we're just three games in, and already both centre-backs have scored, so we've got goals coming at both ends of the pitch. They are, which is good to see. Yeah, obviously Josh King getting off the mark as well, at least Moussail, though he's an injury down for this weekend. Again, confidence for all of those players as well. Ryan Fraser obviously just keeps popping up and keeps impressing everybody at the moment. So yeah, the goals are coming from lots of different areas. Nathan Ake, that six-yard box behind us at the north end of the ground is becoming his prowling ground, isn't it? That very important goal against Liverpool, tapped in in there, and then the same against Everton. So we saw him come close with a couple of headers already this season as well. So yeah, he's one who I know is looking to add a few more goals to his game. Well, without further ado, let's take a look at both goals from last weekend in the short highlights. Towson on the right side is a clock chance to put in Walcott here, and Walcott has snuck in beyond that game. Is there any support from him? He doesn't need it. Theo Walcott puts his finger to his lips and silences the vitality stadium. Everton on the counterattack. Walcott down the right-hand side, beat Begavitch, it is near post. And after 10 minutes to the second half, it's the 10-men in front. 100% record under threat here, and then Terry's a switched off, and all of a sudden, Everton had two men spare. Sigurdsson to the back post, with keen powers. At the game, Sermon drags the defender away. Kings floats the ball in towards Wilson. Pushed over, that's a penalty. No doubt whatsoever. Wilson barged in the back, wins the penalty. He missed the last one. It'll be Joshua King who gets the responsibility this time. You're absolutely right, Chris. It was a great call to him. He was going to take it down on his chest. If you've just seen it again, it was definitely barged in the back. Try and reduce for your rears here for the Cherries, which he does into the bottom right-hand corner. Pick from the right way. Joshua King halves the deficit. Big 15 to come, born with one, Everton two. Well, he was for a lift. Excited, plus 10, 15 minutes. He'll be delivered by Iron, in towards the head of Callum Wilson. Well, there we go. Goals from Joshua King and Nathan Ackay entered the Cherries, still remain unbeaten, three games into the season. You can watch the full 90 minutes now on AFCB TV for free. Now, Chris, that wasn't the only game of the week. MK Donnas came here in the cup, and another brilliant performance. Yeah, and it was... I felt a little bit sorry and inverted comments from a lot of the people who would have come for the first time, because it was so comfortable that it almost wasn't an entertainment spectacle. It was for half an hour, as the Cherries got themselves, you know, clear in the game. MK Donnas, you know, they're a developing side under a new manager, their League two. But actually, things worked out as they probably should when a Premier League team plays a League two team in that Bournemouth ran the legs out of them, were just too sharp. And it was great to see, you know, almost a fully changed team bar, by the wee man who haven't played together, will have trained together, you know, a little bit, and will come together so quickly and put in such a fluid performance. So, yeah, job done. Blackburn at home in the next round is, you know, that's another sort of... It's a good draw, but it's another step up in terms of a decent championship side who have got a bit of forward momentum. So, in terms of the competition, yeah, and in terms of getting people game time, it was all in all a very positive Tuesday night. And 1,000 extra people here who had never been to Bournemouth before to see a game. So, again, getting through gives a lot more people a chance to come and see them again. The only player to keep his place was Ryan Fraser. And is he in the form of his life at the moment? You have to say he is. I mean, he was absolutely frightening. I mean, even against Everton, you know, some of the early runs he makes, when he gets the ball at full tilt, you would not want to be a defender defending against that. And, again, just speaking to a couple of the defenders, you know, Steve Cook and other people, about trying to defend against the wee man in training, they say they're just so pleased that when it comes to the crunch, he's on their team. You know, he's in the Scotland squad again. He's got a real chance to forge himself to be a major player for Scotland and really talked about. And, yeah, the minute he's just in absolute blistering form, he's so fit, he looks fit as well. I think he's a real confidence player. I think a lot of the creative players often are, you know, the ability to take people on. We saw it with Jordan Ible last season when he got a bit of confidence. All of a sudden, we started to see the £15 million worth coming back. So, who'd want to put a price on the wee man at the minute? I mean, he is key. The fact Eddie House said after the game that Ryan Fraser asked to play in that game, almost to, you know, get himself, keep that momentum rolling forward. He got himself a goal off his left foot as well, which is becoming an increasing weapon for him and being able to use both feet very strongly. So, yeah, he is, he's boxed himself into being one of those first names on the sheet at the moment, which, with Junior Stanislaus still to come back, of course, as well, and the likes of Jordan Ible knocking on the door. There's a lot of competition out wide, but he, at the moment, is, I would say, the number one. And, of course, debuts for Diego Rico and Jefferson Lerma, what did you make of their performances? I thought Lerma was really good. I mean, again, let's put the context. It was the league two opposition. It was a great game for him to come into together, you know, having had an under-20 runs run out.  I don't know what communications like in midfield when you don't speak English, but it didn't seem to be a problem out there. You know, he looked so comfortable on the ball. He put himself about. He was energetic up and down. Eddie House says he's Premier League ready in terms of his fitness and his sharpness. It's just a question now of whether Eddie is loyal to the players that have started the season so well or whether the £25 million price tag, you know, it says he needs to go in, really. So, yeah, I thought he was outstanding. I think everybody was pretty impressed. Rico, you know, I would say he was good, but maybe not as eye-catching. Maybe it's more difficult to be as eye-catching. What I would say is his fitness looked good. He was up and down the whole time. Most of his crosses landed in the right area as well. They didn't always hit a red shirt, but most of them you didn't see him blow many over the top. None went behind. None hit the first man. Most of them, albeit by a one or two, possibly landed in an area that the likes of Callum Wilson, Joshua King would thrive off. So, and obviously that set piece, I think the crossbar is still rocking now from that set piece that he crashed against the bar. So, yeah, I would say an outstanding debut from Lerma and an excellent debut from Rico. And of course, last night we discovered it was blackburn at home next. Really good to be at home in the next round, isn't it? Yeah, I think that's first and foremost what everybody would like. Chance to get a bit more money through the gate as well. Of course, Eddie Howe has a bit of history against blackburn. It was 14 years ago that he scored that winning penalty up at blackburn, the same stage of the competition actually, but the roles were reversed then because blackburn were the higher division team and Bournemouth were the lower league opposition who no one fancied. So, I can remember that night so clearly. A DVD was made just of that night, the 3-3 draw after extra time. And Eddie Howe, I think he was penalty number seven or eight. He said he was hoping it wouldn't get to him, but he walked up and drilled it down the middle. So, a famous night then. Hopefully not quite as famous in terms of an upset this time around. But again, as I said earlier, it'll be a next level test from MK Dons, but another one that the Cherries should come through because there were a lot harder draws in that hat than blackburn at home. Absolutely. Well, before we move on, let's take a look at all the goals from the midweek game against MK Dons. Bowls it out down the centre to Defoe. He's got options to his right. He sees Moussé. Moussé takes it down well. Gains his balance. He's across the halfway line. I obsess, but he's trying to get up with him. Goes into the feet of Fraser once more. Fraser head down back to Moussé. Inside the penalty here, poor first touch. Not a bad second one. And not a bad third one. Lease Moussé. Puts the Cherries in front. It looked like he'd lost it. And then suddenly he went past the defender. He rolled it through the legs of Lee Nichols. And that came all the way from the goalkeeper Boric via Fraser. And Moussé opens his account for the season. And Cherries lead against MK Dons. Jordan Ive now all of a sudden laid off by Lerma. And it's Ive who's chasing away on the right-hand side. Ive into the penalty area. Park by Moussé. Lerma back to Ive. Still in the penalty area. Chips one in. He'll break for Fraser. And that is 2-0. Easily done. Jordan Ive this time deserves the credit for the assist. Had a couple of stabs at getting into the penalty area. And it sat up sweetly for the Scotsman, Ryan Fraser. His king. Halfway over the half. Into the penalty area, I should say. Now Ive. But Ive shoots low. And there is the third. It's been coming for a long, long time. And in stoppage time at the end of the game, it's Jordan Ive who provides it. A left-footed shot. Arrowing to the bottom left corner. And the Cherries are sailing into the third round of the league cup. Three up on Dons. Well, there we go. A convincing 3-0 win for the Cherries mid-week. You can see extended highlights of the game on AFCB TV for free. Now then, whilst everyone was enjoying their bank holiday Monday, the Cherries squad came in and had their team photo taken. AFCB TV went behind the scenes and you can take a look at what went on. Indeed. Also this week, the Dorset Deaf Children's Society visited Vitality Stadium and were given a tour of the ground. Let's take a look at what went on. So we've got Dorset Deaf Children's Society here today and what have they been doing? Yeah, we've welcomed to the stadium this afternoon. First of all, we've taken them behind the scenes, taken them into the changing room, brought them pitch side, get to see all the bits they don't normally see when they come to the stadium. So that's been great. And of course, they want to play their own game as well. So we're going out onto the training pitches now and we're going to put a little coaching session on for them. It's what we pride ourselves on here at AFCB. If we want to bring people into the stadium, we know we're slightly restricted on the number of people that can actually see a game. So if we can open our doors throughout the week and in the evenings and weekends, bring people in, let them all feel close to this football club. Dorset Deaf Children's Society came in today. They had a quick tour around the stadium and then they all just sat down just over to my right. And we just had a bit of a questionnaire kind of thing speaking about my career and what the club means to me really. I supported Bournemouth, I came to all the games. So I think it's great that the club can give back to the community and give these kids kind of the opportunities that maybe some other clubs wouldn't. Obviously for me, when I first joined, it was kind of a, it wasn't really too serious. It was like a community type academy kind of thing back then. So to see where I've come from, I think it shows to anyone that they can also do it. So I think it's great. Yeah, it's really important. You know, we've got this partnership with BT and the Premier League where we're able to operate and offer disability sessions throughout the week and we've seen our numbers increase rapidly throughout the season and we hope again the following season, this season coming, that they will rise again. We're really about giving players the opportunity to feel safe in a nice, comfortable environment and develop their football. And we've got a number of the players that are with us today that have gone on and achieved great things through our FA talent hub as well. Well, a busy week off the pitch. We end it by a trip to Stanford Bridge and Chris. It's produced some good results in the past, hasn't it? It certainly has. I mean, if there can be a lucky ground in the Premier League, obviously, Bournemouth had a couple of great results there. The question now is where do you go from last year? You know, the best result in the club's history, one of the best performances we've ever seen. It's hard to know where to come now. In terms of expectations, we'll be massive. Of course, it's a new Chelsea team. We shouldn't forget that. And obviously Maurizio Sarri is someone Eddie Howe knows very well indeed. He actually went out to Italy when he was an employee to study him. He was aware of him even back then. This was three years ago, I think. Napoli obviously came here to the Vitality Stadium for a pre-season friendly last year. So again, Cherry's fans are probably a few of them will be, oh, yeah, that was Sarri. So putting that all together, all by all accounts, he's a very impressive guy. His team played great football. So a new challenge. And actually, interestingly, it's the fourth successive new manager that Bournemouth have faced this season because they had Pellegrini at West Ham. They had Marco Silva of Everton. Paul Tisdale in mid-week of MK Dons. And now Sarri at Chelsea. So they're certainly getting the new manager test at the moment. I think the thing for Bournemouth is, is it a free shot these days? That's the question. Are these big games away from home still a free roll of the dice? Because the expectation is that really on paper and on the squad talent, Chelsea should beat Bournemouth all the time. But having gone there in one a couple of times, all of a sudden now, there has to be a bit more belief that that is a more important game than possibly, it would have been. We say, well, it doesn't matter if you lose 3-0. They can be crucial points come the end of the season. So what I will say is last season, all three games, don't forget the league cup game out there where Dan Gosling equalised in the last minute and then Chelsea went straight to the other end and scored, was a tight affair. Bournemouth won there in the league. Chelsea only won here 1-0 in the league in what was a reasonably tight game as well. So Chelsea are one of the big teams that Bournemouth have managed to get close to on occasions. In terms of what to expect this weekend, Chelsea unbeaten obviously they've won their first three. So they have started in ominous form. A few big-money signings, you know, Georginho who they bought from Napoli in the centre of midfield who, by all accounts, is a very metronomic midfielder, adds a bit of stability to the centre of the park. 70-odd million on a goalkeeper, Reza Balaga as well. So there's a lot of money for a goalkeeper for sure. The likes of Kovacic, he hasn't played so much yet as well. So some big-money signings to bed in there. But by all accounts, they're much happier in looking on paper, a much better count they were last year. So it will be a tough arse to go there and repeat last year's performance and result. But, as I say, sometimes they'll freak one off results, but Bournemouth have won there twice. So, hey, who knows what about this weekend? And you mentioned Georginho there. He seems to have really settled in well at Chelsea and he has already gotten the score sheet for them. Yeah, obviously, when you're a foreign manager coming into an English club, or sometimes you do dip back into what you know, we see it quite often with foreign managers going back to their old clubs to bring players in who they think will be suited to the Premier League. Georginho is the one in central midfield who he's brought from Napoli. I haven't seen him yet, but we'll see him this weekend. But only the clips we've seen on match of the day is that he does seem to have fitted in pretty well in the centre of that midfield, which is ominous. So whoever gets the nod for Bournemouth this weekend, whether it is Lerner, whether he does get the nod, or whether it's Sermon and Gosling carrying on, yeah, they're going to be with Conte in there as well. It's a tough old test, but it always is against these big guns. And in terms of the Cherry's team use, of course, Adam Smith is back. How much of a plus is that for Eddie Howe?  He wouldn't have played in midweek, I don't think, if he wasn't suspended, but the fact he's available, he's another one who's had a good start to the season. He'll be frustrated, obviously, by that sending off here last weekend. In terms of where Eddie goes, I mean, we've managed to call it quite successfully the last couple of weeks. I would say this week is probably the most unknown whether Lerner gets a go or not. Again, as we stand here recording this, I think he probably won't put him in for that. I don't mind to click this up and send it back to me on Twitter to say you were wrong, because we have no idea. Eddie Howe is loyal to players that have done well. He did say in his press conference and to me earlier on that Rico and Lerner, he does consider them to be Premier League sharp and ready to go physically in terms of the tactics, they're up to speed. So they're getting close. Rico, I would say, is more 50-50 whether he comes in. I think Charlie Daniels has had a little bit of a niggle. So whether Rico comes in, I would say, is more on balance. But I just don't think he'll throw Lerner in at Chelsea away, but I could be completely wrong and probably will be. And the Cherries are taking almost 3,000 fans up to Chelsea. That'll be a really real plus for the side, won't it? Yeah, and it's great for anyone who came on Tuesday night because there were still tickets available and by getting a point for coming to this game, it meant they could have a chance to go to Chelsea away, which hopefully it being the holidays and not too far away. I know Premier League tickets aren't cheap, but yeah, hopefully a few more there will get to experience another great day. And the fans, again, I remember the days when we'd probably taken 150 to Macclesfield or something. So 3,000 fans away from home is absolutely brilliant. They all huddled around the corner flag, of course. And that end of the ground at Chelsea, where the Cherries fans are, is where most of the drama has been with the Glen Murray goal and most of the goals last season as well. So yeah, hopefully it's some more drama to come there this weekend. Well, certainly a lot to look forward to this weekend. If you're going up to Chelsea, have a very safe journey, but that's all we've got time for here today. Have a good weekend and thanks for joining us.


RealisticGaming here. Today we are back in bacon. Now I'm pretty sure you guys have heard of Piggy, right? Well, this type it's bacon as we can see here. So it's basically like a Piggy based game.

Oh my God, this dude is right behind us. Yo, we got to get out of here. My God, who came up with this idea? That is like the scariest bacon hair I've ever seen in Roblox. Oh no, he left a trap. Okay, maybe we could get around this. No, dude, I died for this guy. All right, and that just happened. Okay, so we are back after that tragic accident. As you can see, they have chapter one and chapter two. And on top of the thing is there's like a countdown that says there's going to be a chapter three released. So this seems like it's going to be an ongoing game. All right, testing our player. Let's try testing or we can't vote anymore. Okay. Oh, I didn't see this cutscene. Oh man, bacon has been to school all week. Why would you want that guy to go to school, man? Oh wait, this is bacon's house? Or is it the school? I hope bacon is okay. Well, it has to be his house because it's a house. Oh, we just heard like a slash and it's like... I don't know what's going on. Okay, I wonder what that sound was. Let's check it out. Okay, so now... Okay, we don't know what happened to bacon exactly.  Okay, so what is this? A book? A blue book. Oh my God. Okay, let's go see where we can place this blue book. Oh gosh. All right, let's go over here. This is a giant room. Why are the rooms so giant? Like everything is so humongous. Bacon, is that you? Oh my God, I think it is bacon, guys. So we gotta be careful. Oh, he has a... What is that? A crowbar? Okay, that seems like it can be very useful, man. Oh God, we need a key for that. Okay, so let's go down here. Oh my God. Okay, I hear bacon's footsteps. But I don't know where he's at. Okay, where does this lead you? It doesn't lead you anywhere. And where we placed this blue book, man? I'm just carrying it around like a madman. Okay, there has to be a spot. Oh, okay, there's a bookshelf. Maybe we placed this in the bookshelf? No? Oh my God. Okay, that seems like a perfect fit. But according to this, it does not belong there. Dude, there's a Lamborghini out there. Oh my God. Okay, I get that. What? Oh my God, now it's a giant... It's like a giant noob now, instead of the bacon here. Oh my God, why do you have Granny's lab? Okay, is there anything down here? Why is it so dark? Okay, I see a blue key. Okay, this looks more useful because that book seems like it couldn't be placed anywhere. Okay, bacon's over there. Oh, this one belongs over here. Okay, so we're making some progress, fellas. Let's see how this is over here. Oh, a gold key. Okay, I saw the safe somewhere back here. Oh look, this is the thing to cross over. Yo, grab that. Right, there you go. He's going to grab it. Yo, that is a nice car. Kind of looks like the Lamborghini from jailbreak. Okay, let's go over here. Okay, now the yellow key. I think the safe was up there in that room. Hey, what's up, Hershey bar? Oh no, we got bacon coming. Dude, that is so scary. Oh gosh, okay, let's go over here. Okay, this goes here. Oh, what is that, a taser? Dude, we can tase this guy. I'm on fire with my laser. Come on. All right, he has that thing so we can cross over. Okay, so so far so good. We're finding all the items left and right. We're going to need that to cross over, but let's see what's on the other end. Place it right here, buddy. There you go. Oh, that was a cool sound effect. Oh, I think the blue book goes right here. There you go. Okay, so you put all the bucks right there. Oh, no, he's coming back this way. Okay, I remember I had a buck, but I don't know exactly where I left it. Okay, it has to be somewhere around here. Okay, there's a table. No, dude, there's nothing over here. Oh my God, that is so creepy. Okay, I think I left it down here to be exact. And no, somebody took the buck. Come on. Okay, someone took our blue book. And now we need that red or green book. Okay, we place this here. Oh, they opened this. Oh, well, I opened this. Okay, yo, the blue book comes over here. Come on. Okay, they got the blue book. Wait, they opened this door, didn't they? There's a green key. I think they used this key to open this, actually. Oh, man. Poor guy. Oh, no. Dude, that was so close. All right, let's climb up here. Dude, get away from me. He's like right on our tail. It's just so creepy, man. That's like the scariest noob I've ever seen on Roblox. And why didn't they make him buff? They just couldn't make him scary. They had to make him scary and buff.  Okay, so these guys got the books on here. Okay, these guys are up to something, y'all. Let's go down here with my boys. All right, what are you guys up to, man? I think you guys got all the supplies, all the items that we need. Oh gosh, okay. So we needed the crowbar and we needed the orange key. Didn't someone have it? Oh, nice. Wait, you can shoot the taser multiple times? Okay, so someone definitely has that orange key and they're not using it. Come on. I know I saw someone have it. Okay, there's nothing here. Can you open the cabinets? No. Okay, you can't. Look at Bacon. He's on the ground. Yo.  Oh, look at, nope. Dude, you have the orange key. Come on, open it. Wait, that's a red key. That's not, wait. That's orange, right? Dude, open the door. You have the key, man. Come on. Oh gosh, he's stuck on the couch. Okay, let me close this. All right, dude, I cannot open this door because he has the key and he won't open it for some reason. Like, are you trying to bamboozle me, bro? No, I do not want to play hide and seek. All right, they just took him down. Okay, so this orange key, where can it be? Well, like there's a wrench. Is that even useful for anything? Okay, I have a wrench, but I don't know what it's used for.  Okay, I thought I was going to die there from the jump. Oh no, now we're trapped. Okay, this can't be good, yo. Oh my God, okay. Trying to get him stuck on the couch. No. I thought he got us there for a second. Dude, open the door. Come on. He has the orange key. Okay, I'm going to drive him. I'm going to make him come this way so he can open the key. Open door. Open the door. We need to get out of here, yo. Come on, over here. Okay, I don't think he knows where the... Oh my God, no. I don't think he knows where the door is. Dude, he found out. I think he knows where the orange lock is. It's like literally down here. Okay, there you go. Nice. Finally, they're going to open it. Okay, that took way too long. Yo, the purple key's right there. Grab it, someone. Okay, let's go place this buck upstairs in the buck shelf where it pertains. Oh God, okay.  Oh my God, look at him go. He's chasing the poor guy down there. I hope he knows it's a dead end down there. Like once you go down there, you're trapped. Unless you break his ankles and you get out of there. But let's place this here. Wait, what? Oh, oh my God, okay. It was a magical buck shelf. Okay, so let's go down here. Wait, did we just get the key for the main door? Oh, we did. Okay, so now we need the crowbar. Where's the crowbar? Okay, crowbar. We need crowbar. Where is the crowbar? Oh no, he's coming after us now. Oh my God, no. No, please don't. Okay, there you go. I found a little trick where you could get him stuck on the couch. Where are you, bro? Main. Oh my God, please get off my back. I'm trying to tell this guy. Main door. Main door. Oh my God, I misspelled that horribly. I mean, I can't spell it. There's a giant buff killer dude behind me. Come over here. Come here, come here. Come on, let's go, let's go, let's go. This is our only way out. We only have a minute left. Oh no, come on, open it. Yes, okay, we can see our freedom. Oh gosh, does the other guy know? Door is open. Let me tell the other guy because I don't think he knows. All right, let's come on. This is our way out, buddy. Oh no, look at this dude. All right, let's get out of here. And we made it. Chapter one out of the way. What? Resetting game, what just happened? We escaped and we died like right away. Well, that was something else, yo. But I did like the whole concept of the piggy granny, but they took like the bacon and they made them into like this evil looking monster and the giant buff dude as well. They're pretty creepy looking in my opinion. Just look at them, man. All right, well, this was bacon chapter one in Roblox. If you guys enjoyed the video, make sure to slap the like button.

Question, if someone with a disability can't spar full contact, but knows their curriculum and can do everything properly, good question, good, good, good question. This one is also tricky, because it goes back to the belts don't mean anything outside the school. There are people. If someone joins the martial arts for a reason, and most of the time, it's to improve themselves, whether it be, they just want to fight better, they want to be faster they want to live longer and healthier they're trying to rehab from an injury or they want to compete, or they want to be able to protect themselves. Aside from those who do it just as a hobby. There are martial arts in some fashion, to improve themselves, or improve an area of their life. And it's not always about fighting and as we talked about we did this, we did an interview a couple weeks ago with Ian McLeod, a man with a traumatic brain injury, who used a technique to rehab himself and did wonderful, wonderful things and really came a long way. I think that you set your own course, and you have to follow your own milestones and your own goals. And it's not always fighting because not every fight occurs out on the street, not every fight is a self defense against an attacker, sometimes you're defending yourself from time from an injury from yourself. And I think it's up to the instructor to really take, really look at each student as an individual and what their needs are and what their base, their base foundation are coming from is and make a judgment of how they're going to promote. Can someone with a disability achieve a black belt, even though they might not be able to fight a black belt on another system. I think it's okay in certain ways as long as they have persevered and they have pushed themselves and they have accomplished as long as they understand what they're doing. And here's here's interesting too. It's about knowing the curriculum and understanding all the basics and understanding what you're doing and knowing the why. Sometimes in knowing the how but sometimes being able to do it might not be there. So a lot of disabled people that I have seen will modify it. They can't do a particular move or maybe they can't fight a certain way. If they can make modifications or they can show that they can adapt the art to cope with or get by, even that means finding new ways to get out of situations of fighting them. Then have they not have they not learned have they not reached that level of proficiency where they can defend themselves or they can modify the material where they have the same understanding. It goes back to the person who's 80 years old, they might not be able to defend themselves the same way they could before they might not be able to move, but that knowledge is there. Can this person disabled can they teach, you know, it's that's a really hard question. My jujitsu instructor talked about how he had students come in that were missing an arm. Can that person ever fight the same way as a person with two arms. No, but the techniques from modified to do one arm throws. There are exceptions and I don't think anybody should be excluded from martial arts because anyone, especially someone with a disability, who steps into that mat, they get more respect for me. Then people who are fully healthy because they have this extra challenge and you know how much courage and guts it takes for them to get to a point where they meet. They need help, or they're desperate and they want to seek out some improvement and they step on that mat. The person is a brother and sister in that classroom. That person should still be expected to work just as hard as everyone else. They have to work with their instructor and set their goals. They have to understand their own limits.  Again, I'm at a point now, there's stuff I really want to do the stuff I could you, I can't do anymore. I'm not doing the jump spinning stuff anymore. I'm feeling it my knees I have some knee issues, and I've got age related issues. It's happening. I can't accept the fact that there are things I will never be able to do in the martial arts as much as I want to do. A person who's got a disability. I can't even fathom the stuff they're going through because there's stuff, whether it's something they used to be able to do, or it's stuff they've never been able to do. They're facing real challenges and if they step onto that mat or roll onto that mat, or whatever they come into that classroom, and they put in the same work as everyone else. At the end of the day, they can disseminate the information, they can understand it and they can pass on that knowledge and fulfill others lives and touch other people the same way they were touched. Yes, I feel they've earned that rank. It doesn't always come down to how well you can fight in the street or how well you can perform in a tournament.  It is not a magic cape that you put on a black belt is a symbol that you have pushed yourself outside of your boundaries.  You understand the world now you understand the pieces you know what you have to do. Now the work is really get done and build from there. So do I feel that they should hold belt ranks like everyone else, I do. And I think it needs to be an individual situation just because we all fight different battles. It's all about. It's all about why you train we all have our own fights, not every fights on the asphalt, not every fights in the octagon. We have battles every day in our lives and yes I think the martial arts. And I'm so adamant about this and I'm so passionate about this that's one of the reasons that Zach and I started this channel is that this is a very important message that I think needs to be spread is that.   We've all seen it it's all there. That's not what we want to focus on there's so much good that's overlooked. And I don't care if it's a style that people don't like. But because it works for someone, maybe you don't look at it and think oh that's garbage that's never going to work for me. Okay, what are you doing with it. Are you wanting to ring. Okay, it might not work for you. Because what that person's got a broken back and that that style has now helped them be able to walk again. Should that look be looked down is looked down upon any other art. No. So, no, I have so much respect and we have a lot of viewers who are facing a lot of physical challenges and disabilities and I am very grateful that you are part of our channel because I think that message is even more important when people like that train, because they are setting a better example than the rest of us because they're saying look, I know I have limits I know I've challenges but look, I'm going to do it anyway. So, yes, I do believe that a person who's got a disability who might not be able to fight or spar like a black but would normally that they can still achieve their black belt because they're fighting their own fights their own battles. Thank you so much for asking that question because now you got me all grabbed up in a way there are ways to deal with techniques like standing in their own position. Exactly there's so many ways you can adapt something. Okay, look at look at Superfoot Bill Wallace for example, he is an amazing fighter. He tore his knee up really really bad when he was young to the point and never healed right. Look at his work he's undefeated in his career undefeated and he can only kick with one leg. And what did he do well he understood he couldn't kick with that leg so he adopted all his fighting he adopted a sideways fighting style. And guess what he is really, really good at it. Can he use both legs of both arms like everyone else. No, he's basically down a limb. Has he made up for it. You betcha. Even now I see this guy now I see him in seminars now and he's still a phenomenal martial artist. He's still going to kick you. He's still fast.  So, exactly so there's you just have to, and that's part of that you have to find an adaptation.

Despite the concessions, ministers argued that the main aspects of the bill live on. Absolutely critically, the code maintains its key measures. Namely, it's a mandatory code, a world-leading code. Secondly, it's based on two-way value exchange.  This landmark bill aims to ensure that Australian media outlets can recover some of the advertising revenue that they've lost to tech giants. The government in Canberra argues it is currently fighting, quote, a proxy war for other countries who want to introduce similar measures in advance of the bill coming into force.
