bbc--2020-07-19--'I was standing at the wrong end of a machine gun'

The BBC 's weekly The Boss series profiles different business leaders from around the world .
This week we speak to British property entrepreneur and philanthropist Sir Jack Petchey .
`` Standing at the wrong end of a machine gun I imagined that I might be imprisoned , or worse , '' Sir Jack Petchey says .
In a career that has spanned more than seven decades and taken him from ownership of a single taxi to the helm of a property business now worth a reported £550m , the entrepreneur says his arrest in Portugal was his lowest moment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the middle of building a holiday complex in the Algarve when there was a military coup .
There was a lot of suspicion of foreign investors , he says , and this was evident when he found himself in court at 1am , accused of breaching rules on foreign currency .
`` Luckily I held my nerve , was released on bail and after two years the case was dismissed , '' he says .
By that point he was well on his way to amassing his fortune , although he started @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 1925 , Sir Jack 's early years were spent in Manor Park in East London in a one-roomed flat with an outside toilet .
The family 's tin bath hung on the fence outside and was brought in every Friday evening for bathtime .
Sir Jack 's clearest memories of his childhood are of having fun .
`` We played out on the street , knocking on neighbours ' doors and running away , or sticking coins to the pavement and watching as people tried to pick them up .
`` We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but I knew we were n't rich ! ''
Despite being an advocate for education today , Sir Jack had no interest in school and left at 13 , getting a job as an office boy soon after .
After war broke out in 1939 he was keen to join the action and he volunteered for the Royal Navy when he turned 17 .
He was chosen for officer training , but failed to get through the selection process .
What rankled was that an Eton-educated man passed , even though in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ skills and had to be protected from being bullied .
This experience only made Sir Jack all the more determined to succeed , a quality he says has been key to his success in life .
He was transferred to the Fleet Air Arm and ended up as an aircraft engineer , servicing the planes that provided air cover during the Normandy landings of June 1944 .
Once he was discharged from military service , he went back to his pre-war office job , but found himself bored after the `` excitement of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ another knockback that spurred him to move on .
`` I was ambitious , so I asked to be trained as a manager .
But the personnel officer informed me I was not 'management material ' . ''
• 'Someone needs to help parents control their kids ' spending' • The gaming boss who gets addicted to the games • 'My chronic acne inspired me to start my own skincare company' • ' I used to hate road cycling , now I design biking gear' Outraged , he handed in his notice , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pay his way - not least the rent and housekeeping money he owed his mother .
So he put his discharge pay of £48 and his life savings together , bought a second-hand car and started a taxi service , picking up returning servicemen from the London docks .
Eventually he acquired another car and then an office , from which he started a car hire company in 1948 .
`` Then I realised that selling cars was more profitable , '' he says .
`` So I bought a car showroom , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I realised that selling the car showroom was actually more profitable . ''
That was the start of a career in property , which was characterised by Sir Jack 's willingness to seize opportunities even if it meant taking risks .
After a close shave with bankruptcy in 1974 , when property values crashed , he became a pioneer of the European timeshare movement , in which people buy stakes in holiday properties that they can only use at certain times of year .
He introduced the concept to his own holiday complex @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pursued timeshare projects in the UK too , where he had to defend them from some criticism .
Not all of his ventures went smoothly though .
He bought Watford football club from Elton John in 1990 but sold it back to the singer in 1996 amid criticism over the club 's performance .
Petchey Holdings now manages a large portfolio of industrial and residential properties and a share of its profits - £9m a year - is ploughed back into what Sir Jack regards as his greatest achievement : the Jack Petchey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is to give young people a chance to do well , and its motto - Sir Jack 's own - is `` if you think you can , you can '' .
Among other things , it holds its own achievement awards , runs volunteering programmes , gives grants to schools and funds the Scouting movement , another key influence on Sir Jack 's young life .
Fifteen-year-old Aiden Kemp , who has mild cerebral palsy , is one of the 200,000 young people to be recognised by the foundation .
He overcame @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Speak Out Challenge , for which he had to give a speech in front of an audience of students , teachers and parents .
`` I told myself , ' I 'm going to do it , end of , ' and I did , '' he says .
`` Afterwards I felt really confident that I can do anything and I just want to prove that everyone , no matter their backgrounds or disability , can achieve anything . ''
In its 21 years of existence the foundation has made grants of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the recipient matches or adds to the funding .
Sir Jack has just turned 95 , and even if his legs `` wo n't do the walking '' any more , he has n't lost his appetite for work .
It 's taken the Covid-19 outbreak to stop him coming into the foundation 's Canary Wharf office every day .
His grandson Matt Rantell , a trustee of the foundation , reveals that his grandfather always carries a card around in his pocket with `` Think a Smile '' on one side and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , condemn or complain ) on the other .
`` Many people have said I 've been lucky in business , '' says Sir Jack .
`` Well , I spell lucky with a ' p'- plucky !
Because a lot of success is about having courage to make decisions and take advantage of opportunities . ''
Even for such a determinedly `` glass half-full '' person , is there anything in his business life he wishes he 'd done differently ?
`` It 's no good looking back , you always have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ answer .
`` I can honestly say I have no regrets . ''

It was 1974 and he was in the middle of building a holiday complex in the Algarve when there was a military coup. There was a lot of suspicion of foreign investors, he says, and this was evident when he found himself in court at 1am, accused of breaching rules on foreign currency.


bbc--2020-07-19--Danish murder on Bornholm island raises tension in race debate

When a young black man was murdered on the idyllic Danish island of Bornholm , it emerged one of the suspects had swastika tattoos .
The killing of the 28-year-old , who had a Danish father and a Tanzanian mother , coincided with a vigorous debate about racism in Denmark .
But police are adamant there was no racial motive .
Rights groups have reacted by questioning whether potential hate crimes are being seriously investigated .
The man 's body was found last month at a woodland campground in Bornholm , a popular holiday getaway destination in the Baltic Sea @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 23 and 25 , have been charged with the killing .
The pair , who can not be named , both admit to violence , but pleaded not guilty to manslaughter .
According to court documents the victim was struck by wooden beams and a bottle .
He suffered multiple knife wounds , burns and a possible skull fracture .
A knee was also pressed against his throat .
The circumstances have driven speculation that the crime was racially motivated , and prompted parallels to be drawn to George Floyd , the African-American @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officer held a knee against his neck for several minutes .
A video clip purportedly showing the older brother , with his lower leg tattooed with two swastikas and the words `` white power '' has also been shared on social media .
Black Lives Matter Denmark labelled it a `` racist copycat honour killing '' on Facebook .
Various other rights groups , politicians and commentators have also pointed to racism .
However local authorities took the exceptional step of publicly ruling it out .
`` I have been out saying that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it has n't in my opinion anything to do with racism , '' Benthe Pedersen Lund , the prosecutor handling the case , tells the BBC .
The charges were read out at a custody hearing on 24 June , at the courthouse in Bornholm 's main town of Roenne , but the rest of the proceedings are being heard behind closed doors .
No further details have been made public , including what this `` personal '' motive might be .
Who was the victim ?
The victim grew up on Bornholm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after recently completing his engineering studies .
Friends described him as well liked , and his social media posts revealed a love of motivational messages and an interest in science and the environment .
Who are the suspects ?
The accused also come from Bornholm .
Locals have told Danish media the older brother and victim were even friends , and doubted that racism was involved .
Besides the swastika there are other indications the older brother allegedly held far-right views .
His Facebook page carries the slogan `` White Lives Matter '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wearing a flat cap and holding his hand in a V-sign , a gesture associated with supporters of Stram Kurs ( Hard Line ) , a Danish far-right group .
Local media revealed the brother had attended a Stram Kurs event in June , but was thrown out .
Several people told Danish media he had previously made racist remarks .
The younger brother has no known far-right affiliations .
What 's the reaction from the black community ?
`` It 's just not credible that they can rule out racism in such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Courage Matthisen , a former member of parliament and spokesman for the newly formed Afro Danish Collective .
`` This statement was made before the victim had an autopsy , before they made all the interviews from the witnesses . ''
Even if another motive exists , racial beliefs may have intensified the violence towards this victim , he argues .
Last week , the group Black Americans in Copenhagen , also called a special meeting for the black community to discuss a response to the murder .
`` This is a very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a postdoctorate researcher in criminal law at Roskilde University and the Max Planck Institute .
`` The US case has some obvious similarities to the Bornholm case and this makes people worried . ''
However she says it 's too early for assumptions to be made about the case .
How widespread is racism in Denmark ?
The Bornholm killing has taken place just as the issue of racism in Denmark has moved into the spotlight .
Shortly before the killing , 15,000 people took part in a June protest in Copenhagen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lives Matter .
Parliament recently debated how widespread the problem is in the Nordic nation .
Only last month two politicians from the right-wing Danish People 's Party claimed there was no racism here .
Meanwhile a recent survey , carried out by Megafon for national news outlets Politiken and TV2 , found that 51 % of respondents think racism is not a widespread problem .
`` Whose voice are we valuing ?
Did we ask people of colour if racism exists ?
How absurd is that ? ''
says Amanda Yee of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's a very serious problem .
We see it in the immigration and in the ghetto laws here , we see it in the refugee camp .
We see how people ca n't get a job , '' she says .

And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the justice ministry between 2008 and 2018 , some 4,000 to 5,400 people each year believe they have been subjected to racially motivated violence .
Additionally , a similar number of people think they may have .
`` There 's a huge gap , a discrepancy , '' says Roger Courage Matthisen .
`` We have to raise questions : are the police capable , in terms of do they have enough resources ? ''
`` Do they have enough focus on hate crimes and on educating their police officers ? ''

A trial is expected in the next few months .

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea endured a Wembley nightmare as Chelsea strolled to victory and set up an FA Cup final date with Arsenal .

De Gea mistakes send Chelsea to FA Cup final
Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea endured a Wembley nightmare as Chelsea strolled to victory and set up an FA Cup final date with Arsenal.
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ditched his usual FA Cup keeper Sergio Romero to keep faith with De Gea - but the experienced Spain international produced two horrendous errors either side of half-time to gift Chelsea two goals.
De Gea made a flimsy attempt to deal with Olivier Giroud's flick in first-half stoppage time then weakly fumbled Mason Mount's tame 20-yard shot into the net moments after the restart.
Chelsea's excellent performance fully merited this victory and United's abject misery after a dreadful performance was complete when captain Harry Maguire diverted Marcos Alonso's cross into his own net at the near post with 16 minutes left.
Frank Lampard's side were in complete control from first to last as they comprehensively ended Manchester United's 19-match unbeaten run in all competitions.
Bruno Fernandes pulled a goal back from the penalty spot late on after Callum Hudson-Odoi fouled Anthony Martial but it could not even be described as a consolation as Chelsea closed out the win.
Lampard eyes first-season silverware
Lampard is now in position to make his first season in charge a highly satisfactory one as they contemplate a place in the FA Cup final and lie third in the Premier League, in position to reach next season's Champions League.
And no-one can question their right to this win as they dominated from start to finish, particularly in midfield, where they were able to subdue the influence of the talented Fernandes.
Once again 33-year-old Giroud demonstrated his influence, leading the line selflessly and being rewarded with that crucial first goal, even though it received a large helping hand from De Gea.
Chelsea were more energetic, dangerous and aggressive and while they were thankful to those mistakes from De Gea, the margin of victory was no more than they deserved.
Lampard's side cut off any supply line to United's forwards and it will be an intriguing final on 1 August back here at Wembley, when he pits his wits against another rookie manager in Arsenal's Mikel Arteta.
Manchester United's day of misery
United went into this semi-final high on optimism on that long unbeaten run and with the sense that Solskjaer was starting to get to grips with the big rebuilding job.
That continues and United are still in decent shape to reach next season's Champions League, either via the Premier League or Europa League, but this was a savage setback.
And the main culprit was De Gea, who gives the impression of a goalkeeper either in permanent decline or going through a very long slump.
De Gea changed the face of this FA Cup semi-final with those mistakes, allowing Chelsea to transform their dominance into a two-goal lead.
Fernandes was overpowered in midfield and United had no punch in attack, where Solskjaer decided to leave the potency of Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood on the bench, along with Paul Pogba.
It was perhaps a sign that Solskjaer knew all was not well when he introduced Martial for defender Eric Bailly when he sustained a first-half head injury while Greenwood and Pogba were only introduced in desperation when the game was gone.
Bailly suffered a cut to the back of his head and Solskjaer said the Ivorian had been taken to hospital for "routine checks and protocols".
In defence they were also vulnerable, Victor Lindelof losing Giroud too easily for Chelsea's opener and captain Maguire ending any hopes with that own goal.
United complained they should have had a penalty when Martial went down under Kurt Zouma's first-half challenge but this was a miserable experience for Solskjaer and his players.
Solskjaer's side have had many good days in recent months. This was a very bad one.
Man of the match - Olivier Giroud
Since his debut in the FA Cup in January 2013, Chelsea's Olivier Giroud has scored 16 goals in the competition - only Sergio Aguero (19) has netted more in this period.
Match stats - Chelsea knock United out for sixth time
Chelsea have reached their 14th FA Cup final. Only Arsenal (21 including this season) and Manchester United (20) have made the final on more occasions.
Manchester United have been eliminated from the FA Cup by Chelsea for a sixth time (including three of the last four seasons) - only Arsenal (seven) have knocked the Red Devils out of the competition on more occasions.
This was Chelsea's first victory against Manchester United since the 2018 FA Cup final - the Blues were winless in six matches across all competitions against the Red Devils prior to today (D2 L4).
Chelsea are the first side to beat Manchester United since Burnley in the Premier League back in January, ending United's 19 game unbeaten run in all competitions.
Mason Mount became the first Englishman to score for Chelsea at Wembley since John Terry in the 2015 League Cup final versus Tottenham.
No player has scored more goals for Frank Lampard in his managerial career than Mason Mount (18 - level with Harry Wilson).
Since his Manchester United debut in February, no Premier League player has been involved in more goals across all competitions than Bruno Fernandes (17 - nine goals and eight assists).
Manchester United have both taken (19) and scored (15) more penalties than any other Premier League side this season in all competitions.

An explosive spell from Stuart Broad on the fourth evening kept alive England's hopes of winning the second Test against West Indies at Emirates Old Trafford.

England set up victory push
With the third day lost to rain and West Indies blunting England's attack for most of the fourth, this match seemed destined to meander to the draw that would see the tourists retain the Wisden Trophy.
Indeed, for so long Sunday's most noteworthy occurrence was Dom Sibley absent-mindedly breaching coronavirus playing conditions by applying saliva to the ball, resulting in the umpires having to sanitise it.
That was all changed by Broad's brilliant burst and the contest is now set for an intriguing conclusion on Monday.

England captain Joe Root will have to calculate his declaration carefully, not only to give his bowlers enough time, but possibly leave West Indies a target that could tempt them into a run-chase.
West Indies are likely to be focused on survival, but they will know victory would secure a first series win in England since 1988.
Broad ignites England hopes
After West Indies resumed on 32-1, England were frustrated by the stubbornness of the batting, the lack of pace in the pitch and several half-chances that were missed.
The pace bowlers were struggling to find movement and off-spinner Dom Bess could not find a consistent length, even if he had nightwatchman Alzarri Joseph turn to short leg before Shai Hope was caught behind off the wholehearted Sam Curran.
Stokes did not bowl until after lunch, and the sight of him banging in short ball after short ball during a tireless 11-over spell highlighted the absence of Archer's pace.
Stokes eventually got his reward when Brathwaite patted back a return catch, meaning England had opened an end just before the second new ball was due.
Broad took it and brought the game to life with a full length, some variable bounce and nagging consistency. Both Brooks and Shane Dowrich were trapped on the crease to be lbw either side of Jermaine Blackwood being bowled by one that kept low.
Woakes took over, enticing Jason Holder to edge to second slip, correctly using a review to have Chase lbw and, five balls later, bowling Gabriel.
Windies defiance eventually broken
A week on from a superb run-chase that won them the first Test at the Ageas Bowl, West Indies were once again looking to repel the England attack.
In avoiding the follow-on, they have at least removed England's quickest option of winning the game, and the tourists will need more defiance on Monday to keep their lead intact.
Opener Brathwaite was characteristically determined, playing some sweet on-drives and punches through the off side, while Brooks needed moments of fortune, particularly when he was being peppered by Stokes.
Chase, who took 5-172 in England's first innings, overturned being given lbw to Curran on 14.
When Holder fell, West Indies still needed 10 to avoid the follow-on with two wickets in hand, only for Chase to get them to 270 with two fours off Curran.
The tourists could have been severely pressured by Buttler and Stokes, but Kemar Roach held his nerve. Buttler dragged on and Crawley was bowled having a wild swipe as England got carried away.
'Drawing is not what England are about' - what they said
Former England captain Michael Vaughan on BBC Test Match Special: "England have given themselves a great chance.
"They did the right thing with the batting line-up - it showed good intent. They will want to get another 60 and have 85 overs to make sure they have a second new ball.
"This is a series England expected to win. Drawing the series is not what they are about.
"The pitch is starting to play tricks. If West Indies see off the first new ball then they have a chance but it is not going to be easy.
"Joe Root will have West Indies' win at Headingley in 2017 on his mind. That is bound to have some small effect."
BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew: "The England captain will have a few things to think about for tomorrow. There is a terrific final day set up."
Ex-England captain Alastair Cook on BBC TV: "A brilliant day's Test cricket. Just when it looked like England were out of the game, they took six wickets to set it up brilliantly for tomorrow."
West Indies all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite on TMS: "It would be reckless for West Indies to go into tomorrow thinking about the win.
"They have to go out with positive intent and get to tea. Don't find yourself 80-6. England have to force the game."

Watford have won their last two home games under Nigel Pearson
Watford have sacked manager Nigel Pearson with two games of the Premier League season remaining and the side three points above the relegation zone.
Ex-Leicester boss Pearson is the third manager sacked by the club this season following the exits of Javi Gracia and Quique Sanchez Flores.
Under-23 coach Hayden Mullins will take charge for the remainder of the season with Graham Stack as his assistant.
Pearson was appointed in December on a deal until the end of the season.
He won seven matches in the Premier League - including beating runaway champions Liverpool.
But the Hornets were soundly beaten at West Ham on Friday and with their two remaining matches against Manchester City and Arsenal, club officials fear the consequences if Watford lose both of those fixtures.
Watch: Pearson's final Watford post-match interview
Mullins was also placed in temporary charge following the dismissal of Sanchez Flores in December.
He was in charge for the 2-0 defeat at Leicester and the 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace, by which time Pearson's appointment had already been confirmed.

The Watford owners have never been ones for sentiment. Neither have they been scared to make brutal decisions if they felt it was in the best interests of their club.
At this stage of the season, survival is the only thing on their minds.
And the desperate first-half performance in Friday's must-win game at the London Stadium led them to conclude a change was required given the two fixtures that lie ahead.

Harry Kane has scored 16 goals in 14 games against Leicester
Tottenham boosted their chances of Europa League football next season and inflicted a huge blow on Leicester's Champions League ambitions with a superb performance.
Brendan Rodgers' Leicester side have been in the Premier League's top four for much of the season but this devastating away defeat leaves them with a difficult task going into their final league game next Sunday.
The Foxes finish the season against fifth-placed Manchester United, but should the Red Devils beat West Ham on Wednesday and claim a draw at the King Power, they will be assured of a top-four finish at the expense of Leicester.
James Justin's own goal from Son Heung-min's strike and a double from Harry Kane - including a sumptuous curling effort - sealed Spurs' victory following a splendid first-half showing.
Leicester did have chances but could not find a way past an inspired Hugo Lloris, who made a string of superb saves to deny Jamie Vardy, Ayoze Perez and Demarai Gray.
Jose Mourinho's side move up to sixth in the table, two points clear of Wolves, but Nuno Espirito Santo's side have a game in hand.
Mourinho working his magic
Spurs were in disarray when chairman Daniel Levy made the shock decision to sack the popular Mauricio Pochettino and replace him with ex-Chelsea and Manchester United boss Mourinho.
Without injuries at the start of the season it would be a different story - Mourinho
They were 14th in the league and had won just three of their opening 12 league games this season, but the Portuguese boss has utilised his vast experience to turn things around.
Though a desperately poor loss against Sheffield United left him questioning the mentality of his players, their overall form has been excellent since the restart, and they have collected five wins and two draws from eight games.
While clinching European football for next season looked unlikely earlier in the campaign, a late season surge means seventh could be enough for a Europa League spot, depending on the winners of the FA Cup.
Spurs' finishing in the first 45 minutes was clinical - forward Son seeing his shot deflect in off James after wrong-footing Kasper Schmeichel, before England captain Kane showed his class.
The striker, who recently passed 200 career goals, has tormented Leicester whenever he has played against them and took his tally to 16 in 14 games against the Foxes with a cool, left-footed finish and a brilliant second which curled precisely into the far post past the reach of Schmeichel.
Having gone 3-0 up by half-time, there was no way back for Leicester in the second period as Mourinho's men expertly saw out the game.
Leicester's misery continues
Leicester boss Rodgers had said that a European spot was their target, one which they have accomplished, but he will be distraught at his side's capitulation since the restart which leaves them uncertain of a place in the Champions League next term.
Leicester not aggressive enough - Rodgers
Having been outstanding for the entire season and at one point being the closest challengers to eventual champions Liverpool, their miserable run has come at the wrong time and they have now won just two of their last eight games.
They are clinging on to fourth place but are level on points and goal difference with Manchester United, who know a heavy victory against West Ham in their next league match will leave Leicester needing a big win of their own on the final day.
They will be thankful to captain Schmeichel for making a crucial stop to thwart Son's dipping effort, as conceding another goal would have seen them drop down to fifth on goal difference.
Leicester could easily have scored four or five goals but were unable to penetrate Lloris' goal, the France World Cup winner keeping out top-scorer Vardy's backheel.
And the Tottenham captain made even better stops to add to Leicester's torment, showcasing his sharp reactions to twice repel Perez's volley and long-range drive as well as flying saves off Gray's long-range free-kick and Kelechi Iheanacho's curler.
'We are really distraught at the first half' - what they said
Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers tells BBC Sport: "They are a brilliant bunch of guys and honest. We played the shape well and were causing them problems. The first goal was a huge disappointment and that gave them energy.
"When they get to 3-0 at half-time they can then stay in and close it out. We are really distraught at the first half.
Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho speaking to Sky Sports: "I think we were strategically good. We knew what worked for us. Brendan Rodgers did an amazing job since he arrived but in this moment he is in a little bit of trouble with injuries. I know what it is because I had similar problems at the other end.
"Clearly we are one of the teams with more points during this period than after the break. Now we have to fight to finish sixth. We have to win and that is difficult and wait for something in our other opponents.
"Seventh is what we can achieve without dependence on the others. What we are doing and what we are improving is very important for next season."
Man of the match - Harry Kane (Tottenham)
Kane scored with both of his shots on target against Leicester
Mourinho added: "It is difficult for me to compare strikers but I had almost in every club some of the best. Of course, Harry is second to none. It's just different qualities. As a striker, as a goalscorer, a team player and a leader, he is fantastic.
"He is an amazing professional and works very well. He cannot play any better. He is a fantastic striker and Tottenham is so lucky to have him."
What next?
Spurs end their season with a trip to Crystal Palace, while Leicester host Manchester United in what could turn out to be winner-takes-all for a Champions League place. All 10 fixtures on the last day take place on Sunday, kicking off at 16:00 BST).
Spurs finally feel at home - the stats
Tottenham have won four consecutive Premier League games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time - it's their longest winning run at home since December 2018 (4).
Leicester City (D3 L5) have gone eight away Premier League games without a victory for the first time since February 2017 (a run of 15).
Leicester City have lost three consecutive away league games against Tottenham for the first time since December 1966.
Since Jose Mourinho's first game in charge of Tottenham in November 2019, the Lilywhites have won 44 points; only Liverpool (59), Man City (50) and Man Utd (46) have picked up more in this period.
Tottenham striker Harry Kane has now scored 16 goals in 14 games against Leicester in all competitions, more than he's scored against any other opponent in his career.
Tottenham's Lucas Moura assisted two goals in a single game for Tottenham for only the second time, also doing so against Rochdale in the FA Cup in February 2018.
Tottenham Hotspur have benefited from more own goals (5) than any other team in the Premier League this season.
Leicester City conceded an own goal in consecutive away Premier League games for the first time since February 2004.

Lionel Messi won his seventh La Liga golden boot - and his fourth in a row - after scoring twice in Barcelona's win over Alaves on the final day.
The Barca captain finished on 25 goals, four clear of Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema.
The game was not of importance as Real clinched the La Liga title on Thursday.
Messi rounded the keeper to make it 2-0 and swept in a fifth - with teenager Ansu Fati, Luis Suarez and Nelson Semedo scoring the other goals.
Riqui Puig, Messi and Arturo Vidal all hit the woodwork before Fati opened the scoring.

Danny Ings has matched Matt le Tissier's club record of 12 goals away from home in a Premier League season
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe says he is "deeply hurt" after defeat by local rivals Southampton left them on the verge of relegation - with the video assistant referee denying them an injury-time equaliser.
Sam Surridge fired home from a tight angle, but a VAR review correctly found that Callum Wilson was offside.
Danny Ings had put Southampton ahead and Che Adams blasted in a second right at the death to complete an agonising few minutes for Bournemouth.
They will be relegated on Tuesday if Watford get a point against Manchester City - or if the Hornets get one against Arsenal on the final day.
"The key thing is while there's still hope we have to believe, until such time as it is mathematically impossible," said Howe.
"You never know in football, crazy things happen. That's my immediate thought, but very disappointed. A big chunk of our destiny and our future was still sort of in our hands. It feels like that has slipped away a little bit.
"I am deeply disappointed, hurt, loads of different emotions are going through my body right now."
The Cherries - who must win at Everton next Sunday to have any chance of survival - are three points behind the 17th-placed Hornets, who are set to sack Nigel Pearson, with a worse goal difference by four.
Ings, 27, opened the scoring with a fine finish from just outside the box - his 21st Premier League goal of the season.
But he failed to move within a goal of the league's top scorer Jamie Vardy when his penalty was saved by Aaron Ramsdale.
Bournemouth ended with half their team playing up front and Harry Wilson's curling effort was tipped around the post by Alex McCarthy before the late, late drama.
After Surridge's goal was ruled out, Adams smashed home to make the Cherries' goal difference even worse.
Bournemouth were so close...
Callum Wilson was in an offside position in the build-up to Sam Surridge's finish
Bournemouth's rise from the bottom of League Two to become an established Premier League team under Eddie Howe has been a great story in recent years.
But that could soon all be over after a run of nine defeats in their past 12 games.
Three points off safety - with a worse goal difference and one game left - might seem like a forgone conclusion. But Watford's tough run-in against the Gunners and City will give Howe hope of at least taking it to the final day.
However, their goal difference takes them below Aston Villa in the league, and four points from Villa's last two games - against Arsenal and West Ham - would also relegate the Cherries.
'Fate is out of our hands' - Howe reflects on Bournemouth defeat
They played some nice football against their neighbours, especially in the first half, but all their efforts on target came in the last 25 minutes as they threw everything at Saints.
Harry Wilson hit a weak shot towards McCarthy, with Steve Cook then heading straight at the keeper before Harry Wilson was so close to rescuing a point in injury time.
Surridge thought he had his first Premier League goal late on but Callum Wilson was rightly judged to be offside before the substitute pounced by VAR.
The Cherries have been toothless this season and their fight was too little, too late on Sunday.
Now they must just wait and hope their dreams do not end in two days' time at Vicarage Road.
Has Ings missed chance at golden boot?
Southampton have been safe for a while - having looked doomed before Christmas - but their season has not petered out, with their unbeaten run now extended to six games.
The major subplot has been whether Ings, who has a solitary England cap, can win the Golden Boot.
He is on 21 goals for the season after his fine opener, when he took Nathan Redmond's pass, cut past a defender onto his right foot and curled his shot home.
Without fans there is no difference between playing home or away - Hasenhuttl
That is the 10th time he has opened the scoring in a league game this season - and his fourth Premier League goal from outside the box this term. No player has managed more of either this campaign.
He went close again just after the break but curled wide.
And he will rue his slow run-up for his penalty as Ramsdale guessed correctly to save his spot-kick. That leaves him two behind Leicester's 23-goal Vardy, who has two games left.
Adams added a 98th-minute second from Michael Obafemi's pass as Bournemouth sent most of their players forward.
Ralph Hasenhuttl's side face Sheffield United next week in their final game.
Man of the match - Aaron Ramsdale
Bournemouth goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale could not have done much more to deny Southampton with his penalty stop one of six saves
'We have to believe it's possible' - what the managers said

"The second goal would have killed the game earlier so it was a massive battle from my side. You see it is not necessary to play for relegation or Europa league, it is enough to play for three points."
Match stats - only Liverpool better on road than Saints
Bournemouth have suffered their 22nd league defeat of the season; only in the 1933-34 Third Division South (24) and the 1983-84 Third Division (23) have they lost more.
Southampton have picked up 31 points in away league games this season, their best ever return on the road in a top-flight campaign, while only champions Liverpool (41) have earned more in the 2019-20 Premier League.
Southampton are unbeaten in six Premier League matches (W3 D3), their longest such run since going seven unbeaten from April to August 2016.
Danny Ings has scored in 19 different Premier League games this season, the most by any Southampton player in a single season in the competition, overtaking James Beattie's 18 in 2002-03.
Che Adams' strike for Southampton (97:56) was the latest Premier League goal since November 2011, when Yakubu scored against Wigan for Blackburn (98:14).
Southampton's Nathan Redmond has assisted four Premier League goals against Bournemouth, at least twice as many as he has versus any other opponent. Redmond has assisted a goal in three consecutive league games for the first time in his career.
Southampton have missed three of their four penalties in the Premier League this season, while Ings missed one for the very first time in the competition having scored each of his first four.


bbc--2020-07-20--Coronavirus: Protein treatment trial 'a breakthrough'

The preliminary results of a clinical trial suggest a new treatment for Covid-19 dramatically reduces the number of patients needing intensive care , according to the UK company that developed it .
The treatment from Southampton-based biotech Synairgen uses a protein called interferon beta which the body produces when it gets a viral infection .
The protein is inhaled directly into the lungs of patients with coronavirus , using a nebuliser , in the hope that it will stimulate an immune response .
The initial findings suggest the treatment cut the odds of a Covid-19 patient in hospital developing severe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by 79 % .
Patients were two to three times more likely to recover to the point where everyday activities were not compromised by their illness , Synairgen claims .
It said the trial also indicated `` very significant '' reductions in breathlessness among patients who received the treatment .
In addition , the average time patients spent in hospital is said to have been reduced by a third , for those receiving the new drug - down from an average of nine days to six days .
• How near are we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ involved 101 volunteers who had been admitted for treatment at nine UK hospitals for Covid-19 infections .
Half of the participants were given the drug , the other half got what is known as a placebo - an inactive substance .
Stock market rules mean Synairgen is obliged to report the preliminary results of the trial .
The results have not been published in a peer-reviewed journal , nor has the full data been made available ; so the BBC can not confirm the claims made for the treatment .
But if the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it will be a very important step forward in the treatment of coronavirus infections .
The scientist in charge of the trial , Tom Wilkinson , says if the results are confirmed in larger studies the new treatment will be `` a game changer '' .
The trial was relatively small but the signal that the treatment benefits patients was unusually strong , he says .
`` We could n't have expected much better results than these , '' Synairgen chief executive Richard Marsden told the BBC .
He described the results as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of hospitalised Covid-19 patients '' .
What happens next ?
Mr Marsden said the company will be presenting its findings to medical regulators around the world in the next couple of days to see what further information they require in order to approve the treatment .
That process could take months , although the British government , like many others , has said it will work as fast as possible to get promising coronavirus treatments approved .
It is possible it could be given emergency approval , as the anti-viral drug remdesivir was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ permission will be given for more patients to receive the treatment with the effects being carefully monitored to confirm it is safe and effective .
If it does get approval , the drug and the nebulisers used to deliver it would then need to be manufactured in large quantities .
Mr Marsden says he instructed companies to start producing supplies back in April to ensure they would be available should the results be positive .
He says he expects Synairgen to be able to deliver `` a few 100,000 '' doses a month @ @ @ @ @ @ @ treatment work ?
Interferon beta is part of the body 's first line of defence against viruses , warning it to expect a viral attack .
The coronavirus seems to suppress its production as part of its strategy to evade our immune systems .
The new drug is a special formulation of interferon beta delivered directly to the airways via a nebuliser which makes the protein into an aerosol .
The idea is that a direct dose of the protein in the lungs will trigger a stronger anti-viral response , even in patients @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Interferon beta is commonly used in the treatment of multiple sclerosis .
Previous clinical trials conducted by Synairgen have shown that it can stimulate an immune response and that patients with asthma and other chronic lung conditions can comfortably tolerate the treatment .
How was the treatment tested ?
No-one involved in the trial knew which patients have been given which treatment until it was over .
`` If you know it 's a drug , your mind might have a bias , '' explained Sandy Aitken , one of the nurses who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Southampton Hospital .
Synairgen 's drug trial was the template for the Accord programme , a fast-track clinical trial scheme set up by the UK government in April to accelerate the development of new drugs for patients with Covid-19 .
The Synairgen team believes the drug could be even more effective at the early stages of infection .
A trial exploring the effects of giving patients who are in high-risk groups the new drug as soon as they are confirmed as having Covid-19 has struggled to find volunteers because there are so few @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do other experts say ?
Expert in emergency medicine Prof Steve Goodacre , from the University of Sheffield , said : `` These results are not interpretable .
We need the full details and , perhaps more importantly , the trial protocol .

Prof Naveed Sattar , professor of metabolic medicine at the University of Glasgow , said : `` The results seem very impressive , and although accepted that the trial is small with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ % reduction in disease severity could be a game changer .
`` It would be good to see the full results once presented and peer-reviewed to make sure they are robust and the trial conduct was rigorous .

bbc--2020-07-20--Amber Heard: Johnny Depp 'threatened to kill me many times'

Actor Johnny Depp `` threatened to kill '' ex-wife Amber Heard `` many times '' , the US actress has claimed .
`` He is very good at manipulating people , '' said Ms Heard , alleging he was violent and she feared for her life .
Mr Depp , 57 , is suing the publisher of the Sun over an article that referred to him as a `` wife beater '' - but the newspaper maintains it was accurate .
He denies 14 allegations of domestic violence on which News Group Newspapers is relying for its defence .
Ms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ London 's High Court on the 10th day of the case , and her written witness statement was also submitted to the court .
In it , she accused him of verbal and physical abuse including screaming , swearing , issuing threats , punching , slapping , kicking , head-butting and choking her , as well as `` extremely controlling and intimidating behaviour '' .
`` Some incidents were so severe that I was afraid he was going to kill me , either intentionally or just by losing control and going too far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mr Depp had a `` unique ability to use his charisma to convey a certain impression of reality '' and `` he is very good at manipulating people '' .
`` He would blame all his actions on a self-created third party instead of himself , which he often called 'the monster ' .
`` He would speak about it as if it was another person or personality and not him doing all these things . ''
She said in the beginning of their relationship , he would be `` intensely affectionate , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Johnny puts his attention on you , with all his intensity and darkness , it is unlike anything I 've ever experienced , '' she said .
`` When I say he was dark , he had a violent and dark way of speaking : the way he talked about our relationship being 'dead or alive ' and telling me that death was the only way out of the relationship . ''
She added : `` He could be very intense and dark .
It was the polar opposite of 'the warm glow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he `` functions off zero accountability '' and it is rare to see anyone say no to him .
`` I tried to , but it did n't go down well , '' she said .
She also said she thought she could `` fix Johnny '' , saying : `` I thought he could get better and that he would , and I wanted that so badly right to the end .
`` After violent episodes , his team would try to convince me to stay with him or to come back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and would get clean for me .
`` I think I stayed not only because I had hope of him getting clean and things changing , but also because of the responsibility I felt , being told I was the one to motivate him and help him to get clean . ''

Ms Heard said Mr Depp told her he did not want a pre-nuptial agreement but it was his sister , Christi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get one .
`` He mentioned ... it was more about Christi , his sister , who handled most of his affairs .
`` He said it was Christi , that he did n't want that , that he trusted me and , as he said to me time and time again , the only way out of this was death . ''
She added : `` But then Johnny was also accusing me of having an affair with a co-star and that is what led to the actual argument . ''
Ms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lawyer who worked on a draft pre-nuptial agreement and it was sent to Mr Depp 's team but never signed .
She denied that she was interested in Mr Depp 's money , saying : `` I never had been , I never was . ''
The actress was also asked by Mr Depp 's lawyer , Eleanor Laws QC , whether she had had `` ultimate control in the relationship '' .
Ms Heard replied : `` No , absolutely not . ''

The case centres on an article published on the Sun 's website in April 2018 .

.
The article related to allegations made by Ms Heard , who was married to the film star from 2015 to 2017 .

Ms Laws referred to a medical note written by a nurse, Erin Boerum, who wrote that Ms Heard had reported "experiencing increased anxiety and agitation and has had several outbursts of anger and rage", and also that she was "nervous about being alone while husband is working on movie set in London (and) dealing with feelings of insecurity and jealousy".


bbc--2020-07-20--US election 2020: Kanye West launches unconventional bid for presidency

Kanye West has officially launched his campaign for the 2020 US presidential election , with an unorthodox rally in Charleston , South Carolina .
West , 43 , is running as a candidate for his self-styled `` Birthday Party '' .
At the event , the rapper seemed to make policy decisions off-the-cuff and made several rants , including on abortion and on abolitionist Harriet Tubman .
Fans have questioned whether his last-minute bid for the White House is actually a promotional stunt .
The Charleston rally did little to clarify whether his run is genuine .
But a now-deleted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Saturday , appearing to show the song list for a new album , added to the speculation .
The event , held at a wedding and conference hall in the city , was said to be open to registered guests only - but West 's campaign website had no function for people to register or RSVP .
What did Kanye West say at the rally ?
West appeared with `` 2020 '' shaved into the back of his head and wearing a protective security vest , and addressed the gathered crowd without a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ either , leading West to repeatedly tell the crowd to be silent so he could hear the questions being asked .
At one point he began crying when talking about abortion , saying that his parents almost aborted him : `` There would have been no Kanye West , because my dad was too busy . ''
He added : `` I almost killed my daughter ... even if my wife [ Kim Kardashian West ] were to divorce me after this speech , she brought North into the world , even when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • Kanye West again says he will run for president • Here 's what President Kanye would do • Kanye : ' I 'm the greatest artist of all time' However he then added that he believes abortion should remain legal , but there should be financial support for struggling new mothers - suggesting that `` everybody that has a baby gets a million dollars '' .
`` The only thing that can free us is by obeying the rules that were given to us for a promised land , '' he said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guess what ?
The law is not by God anyway , so what is legality ? ''
At another moment , he gave an impromptu monologue about 19th century abolitionist Harriet Tubman .
`` Harriet Tubman never actually freed the slaves , she just had the slaves go work for other white people , '' he said .
Tubman was born into slavery , but managed to escape a Maryland plantation in 1849 , aged 27 .
She then returned to the South to rescue other slaves on the network of routes and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' , risking her own life to lead people to freedom .
West also became tearful when talking about his late mother , who died in 2007 from complications during cosmetic surgery .
What has the reaction been ?
The speech has been met with anger by some - mostly sparked by his comments about Tubman - but also with concern over West 's welfare .
Professor Jason Nichols , a senior lecturer in African American studies at the University of Maryland , told the BBC he feared West 's rambling appearance pointed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ although he acknowledged he was not a psychologist .
`` He has admitted in the past he has been battling mental illness and that sometimes he does not take medication .
`` He was a little more coherent than he has been in other times ... when he has gone on these rants , but I really believe he is in a bad place right now .
He said some really bizarre things . ''
Professor Nichols added that he was disappointed , as he had hoped West would be able `` to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he had the right advice and support .
`` I was actually interested to see what would happen , but after the event today , all that interest has just turned to worry . ''
Will Kanye West actually be on state ballots ?
West , who announced his candidacy on 4 July , has already missed the deadline to qualify for the ballot in several states .
He needs to collect enough signatures to appear on the ballot in a number of others .
Last week he qualified to appear on Oklahoma @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where he met the requirements before the deadline .
In order to appear on South Carolina 's ballot he needs to collect 10,000 signatures by noon local time ( 18:00 BST ) on Monday .

"The only thing that can free us is by obeying the rules that were given to us for a promised land," he said. "Abortion should be legal because guess what? The law is not by God anyway, so what is legality?"
