bbc--2020-10-12--Amy Coney Barrett: The Supreme Court nominee on abortion, healthcare and her faith

The US Supreme Court is often the last say on major cases that impact public life .
So what kind of justice might President Trump 's nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett be ?
From abortion to gun rights , here 's a look at what she 's said about major issues in the past .
Speaking in 2016 at Jacksonville University 's Public Policy Institute , she told students judges should not be appointed based on policy preferences .
`` We should be putting people on the court who want to apply the Constitution . ''
In her opening statement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ once more to the late conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia , who she worked for as a clerk .
• What 's at stake in US Supreme Court fight '' His judicial philosophy was straightforward : A judge must apply the law as written , not as the judge wishes it were .
Sometimes that approach meant reaching results that he did not like .
`` But as he put it in one of his best known opinions , that is what it means to say we have a government of laws @ @ @ @ @ @ @ added that `` courts have a vital responsibility to enforce the rule of law '' but they are not meant to `` solve every problem or right every wrong in our public life '' .
`` The policy decisions and value judgments of government must be made by the political branches elected by and accountable to the people . ''
For many , Judge Barrett 's views on abortion ( and the landmark 1973 Roe v Wade ruling that protected the procedure nationally ) are at the centre of their support or condemnation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ruled specifically on abortion before , but she has reviewed two abortion restrictions cases while on the appeals court .
Judge Barrett voted in favour of a law that would have mandated doctors to inform the parents of a minor seeking an abortion , with no exceptions .
She also called for a state law that sought to ban abortions related to sex , race , disability or life-threatening health conditions to be reheard .
• Trump says new court ruling on abortion 'possible' She was also one of five appeals judges who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ burial or cremation for foetal remains may have been constitutional .
She wrote in a 2013 Texas Law Review article that the `` public response to controversial cases like Roe reflects public rejection of the proposition that [ precedent ] can declare a permanent victor in a divisive constitutional struggle rather than desire that the precedent remain forever unchanging '' .
`` Court watchers embrace the possibility of overruling , even if they may want it to be the exception rather than the rule . ''
Talking about abortion in 2016 at Jacksonville @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not think `` abortion or the right to abortion would change '' .
`` I think some of the restrictions would change , '' she said .
`` The question is how much freedom the court is willing to let states have in regulating abortion . ''
Judge Barrett 's abortion views aside , perhaps the more important is the question of how she views precedent - and what that might mean for Roe v Wade and other established rulings .
`` Does the Court act lawlessly - or at least questionably - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wrote in a 2013 Texas Law Review article .
`` I tend to agree with those who say that a justice 's duty is to the Constitution and that it is thus more legitimate for her to enforce her best understanding of the Constitution rather than a precedent she thinks is clearly in conflict with it . ''
A devout Catholic , Judge Barrett has been asked about her faith as it relates to her work during past confirmation hearings .
She has been asked in particular about a 1998 article she co-wrote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ She wrote that Catholic judges are `` obliged by oath , professional commitment and the demands of citizenship to enforce the death penalty '' , while also being obliged `` to adhere to their church 's teaching on moral matters '' .
During her 2017 confirmation hearing for the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit , Judge Barrett said she still `` vehemently '' believes that if there is a conflict between a judge 's `` personal conviction and that judge 's duty under rule of law , that it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ follow their personal convictions in the decision of a case rather than what the law requires '' .
In the same hearing , she said she is a `` faithful Catholic '' , but stressed her affiliation `` would not bear in the discharge of my duties as a judge '' .
`` I would decide cases according to rule of law , beginning to end , and in the rare circumstance that might ever arise - I ca n't imagine one sitting here now - where I felt that I had some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would recuse , '' the judge said .
`` I would never impose my own personal convictions upon the law . ''
Another major issue for voters is how a Justice Coney Barrett might rule on the Affordable Care Act , President Barack Obama 's landmark healthcare law that brought insurance coverage to millions .
The Supreme Court is to rule on the legality of that law in November .
In a 2017 law review essay , Judge Barrett criticised Chief Justice John Roberts 's 2012 opinion on the act 's individual mandate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who did not sign up for insurance ) .
She wrote : `` Chief Justice Roberts pushed the Affordable Care Act beyond its plausible meaning to save the statute .
`` He construed the penalty imposed on those without health insurance as a tax , which permitted him to sustain the statute as a valid exercise of the taxing power ; had he treated the payment as the statute did - as a penalty - he would have had to invalidate the statute as lying beyond Congress 's commerce power . ''
There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to bear arms we can reference from Judge Barrett 's record , but it is a controversial one .
Gun rights supporters have praised her 37-page dissent in the case of a man who pleaded guilty to mail fraud , served his time and then challenged state laws that barred him as a felon from owning a gun again .
Saying `` history is consistent with common sense '' , she argued that the government can only prohibit individuals shown to be dangerous from possessing guns .
`` Founding-era legislatures did not strip @ @ @ @ @ @ @ simply because of their status as felons , '' she wrote .
`` Nor have the parties introduced any evidence that founding-era legislatures imposed virtue-based restrictions on the right ; such restrictions applied to civic rights like voting and jury service , not to individual rights like the right to possess a gun . ''
Speaking about her dissent to students at Hillsdale College last year , Judge Barrett said while it `` sounds kind of radical to say felons can have firearms '' , she found no `` blanket authority '' to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the individual was a danger .
• What is the US Supreme Court ?
• Why US top court is more political than UK 's

During her 2017 confirmation hearing for the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, Judge Barrett said she still "vehemently" believes that if there is a conflict between a judge's "personal conviction and that judge's duty under rule of law, that it is never ever permissible for that judge to follow their personal convictions in the decision of a case rather than what the law requires".

What's behind the rise of QAnon in the UK? Published 13 October 2020
Image caption, Some protesters in UK "Save Our Children" rallies believe in Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies
A wide-ranging conspiracy theory about elite Satan-worshiping paedophiles has migrated from the US, inspiring a series of regular street protests. How did QAnon find a British audience?
On a sunny day in late August, nearly 500 people gathered in central London. It was the first event held by a new group, Freedom for the Children UK.
As the crowd marched from the London Eye to Buckingham Palace, chants of "Save our children!" echoed in the air.
The ethnically diverse crowd was made up mostly of young people and women, some with their children. At the head of the march were group leaders Laura Ward and Lucy Davis.
Ms Ward, 36, who says she underwent a "spiritual awakening" during the Covid-19 lockdown, created a Facebook group in July "to promote and organise peaceful events that raise the awareness of child exploitation and human trafficking". It took off, gathering thousands of followers in just a few weeks.
The London march was just one of 10 rallies held across the UK, including events in Birmingham, Bristol and Manchester. A Liverpool rally drew similar numbers of people.
Image caption, Protesters at a "Save Our Children" rally in London
The organisers say their movement is not directly linked with QAnon, a wide-ranging, baseless, pro-Trump conspiracy theory.
But their themes are similar, and their evidence-free claims largely the same. And when images began to appear on the FFTCUK Facebook group later that day, placards, signs and items of clothing directly referencing QAnon were prevalent at almost all of the rallies.

What is QAnon?
QAnon began life - most likely as a joke or prank - on extreme message boards in 2017. It's an unfounded conspiracy theory that claims President Trump is secretly battling a clandestine network of Satan-worshipping elites who run a child trafficking ring.
The "Q" in QAnon is the person or persons writing cryptic messages to the movement's followers. Q claims to have top secret clearance within the US government. Q has told followers to "trust the plan" for a "great awakening". The messages have predicted mass arrests or purges of top Democratic Party officials. And none of the prognostications have come true.
Despite its bizarre premises, QAnon took off in niche online communities and rapidly grew on social networks.

What is #SaveOurChildren?
Until this year, the conspiracy theory was confined to the internet's fringes. But then came the pandemic. QAnon influencers took advantage of fear, uncertainty and doubt - and the fact that many people were at home, worried, and living more of their lives online.
Surveys from the Pew Research Center indicate that the number of Americans who are aware of QAnon and support its ideas increased substantially this year. Supporters have been linked to several violent crimes.
In light of this, several major social networks including Twitter, Facebook and TikTok began restricting QAnon terms, phrases and hashtags on their platforms over the summer.
Believers changed tack. Urged by a Q message to "learn the use of camouflage digitally", followers avoided direct references to QAnon and began hijacking well-known, established hashtags and phrases used by genuine campaigners against child trafficking - such as the innocuous sounding #SaveTheChildren and #SaveOurChildren.
Image source, Reuters Image caption, A man at a "Save the Children" rally in New York
A BBC analysis based on data from Facebook-owned tool CrowdTangle, and Spredfast, found that in the last three months, the two hashtags were used a total of 1.5 million times on Twitter and generated more than 28 million interactions on public Facebook and Instagram posts.
And outside the US, British followers lead the way. Our analysis of online data from the last three months puts the UK ahead of all European countries, followed by Germany and the Netherlands.
Marc-Andre Argentino, a researcher at Concordia University in Montreal, has identified at least 114 Facebook groups which spread QAnon content under the guise of campaigning against child trafficking.
Membership of such groups has risen by more than 3,000 percent since July, he says.

A key British YouTube influencer is Charlie Ward, who lives in Spain and began uploading QAnon-themed videos during lockdown.
While older clips about his personal life received barely any attention, his channel now boasts more than 170,000 subscribers and he has hosted discussions with FFTCUK leaders.
Mr Ward did not respond to a request for comment.
How did it take off in the UK?
In May, Ms Ward (no relation to Mr Ward) began engaging with social media posts by conspiracy theorist David Icke and a number of QAnon influencers in the US and Canada about Covid-19 lockdowns, George Floyd protests, and global child trafficking.
"I'm feeling powerless and I want to do more to create change. What do you suggest?" she tweeted at a Canadian QAnon influencer.
A few weeks later, inspired by a global "Save Our Children" movement launched by a California-based rapper and actor, Ms Ward set up the FFTCUK Facebook group with the aim of launching a similar movement at home.
By the end of August, Save Our Children street rallies were held in more than 200 towns and cities around the world, including a dozen in the UK.
Image source, Facebook Image caption, The FFTCUK Facebook group has attracted thousands of members
The FFTCUK Facebook group has now amassed more than 13,000 members. While moderators are cautious about direct references to QAnon, discussion in the group is peppered with QAnon-related talk and hashtags.
Members also routinely organise coordinated online campaigns targeting news organisations.
For instance, when an independent magazine published a piece about a local FFTCUK rally, its Facebook page was swamped by comments that abused its staff. This, coupled with threats of violence, led the magazine to temporarily deactivate its social media accounts.
On their personal accounts, FFTCUK leaders are vocal about their beliefs.
Ms Ward's Twitter and Facebook accounts feature frequent accusations of paedophilia against leading US Democrats, and she regularly defends QAnon and its followers. She turned down an interview request for this story.
Why is QAnon spreading during the pandemic?
The vast majority of the protesters on the FFTCUK march in August ignored Covid-19 restrictions and social distancing guidelines.
As they finished the march and gathered near Wellington Arch for a meditation session, Ms Ward talked about a "fake pandemic".
While most of the UK rallies are organised by Ms Ward and FFTCUK, one in London was co-organised by StandUPX, a campaign group behind rallies featuring speakers such as David Icke. The rallies attract a wide range of speakers and attendees, from those who oppose government restrictions to those who claim that the pandemic is a "hoax" or somehow caused by 5G technology.
A spokesperson for StandUPX said: "We cannot be accountable for the views of each and everyone appearing at the rally and have no views about QAnon."
Experts say a number of national controversies and scandals in relation to elite child abuse had already primed the UK for the rise of conspiratorial narratives.
"Activists in the UK have easily woven British issues - such as Operation Yewtree investigations into historical child sexual abuse - into Q narratives," says David Lawrence, a researcher for the campaign group Hope not Hate.
"Long before the birth of QAnon, prominent British conspiracy theorists have promoted ideas about elite, occult paedophile circles engaging in large-scale child trafficking and abuse, and British activists are drawing on this broader tradition," he says.
And the upheaval of the pandemic created a perfect storm which helped QAnon find common ground with Covid-19 conspiracists.
"Public trust in institutions has declined in the UK in recent years, and has been exacerbated by the handling of the pandemic," Mr Lawrence added. "This has provided ideal conditions for conspiracy theories to spread."
Image source, Reuters Image caption, WWG1WGA, short for "where we go one we go all", is a rallying cry for QAnon followers
What do Save Our Children protesters believe in?
Two weeks after their first protests, FFTCUK held a bigger protest in London on 5 September. Around 1,000 people marched from Oxford Street to the BBC's Broadcasting House, and then to Parliament Square.
The protesters paused outside the Disney Store on Oxford Street. "Shame on you," they angrily chanted, echoing a widely-held, evidence-free belief among QAnon followers that the company is part of a child trafficking cabal.

Once again, women and young people were at the forefront of the march.
People were dressed in QAnon shirts or ones displaying the slogan "WWG1WGA". Short for "Where we go one we go all", it is the best-known rallying cry for QAnon believers.
Other bizarre terms - albeit ones well-known to QAnon followers - were on display: "adrenochrome", "frazzledrip", "dark to light", "spirit cooking", "paedogate".
One marcher held up a placard referencing Pizzagate, a conspiracy theory that alleged Hillary Clinton and Democratic Party politicians were running a paedophile ring out of a Washington pizza restaurant. It prompted a heavily armed man to enter the restaurant, searching for non-existent child prisoners. He was later sentenced to four years in prison.
In London, the vast majority of the protesters I spoke to said they first heard about FFTCUK via social media, especially Facebook.
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, A placard in a London Save Our Children rally features well-known QAnon terms and slogans
Some said they fully believed in QAnon and followed every Q message, while others were only partially familiar with it. There were supporters of President Trump, people who don't like him very much, and those that said they don't pay much attention to politics.
However, they all shared a strong suspicion of the establishment, coupled with the belief that there is a "deep state" of elites in the UK who are committing crimes against children with impunity.
"Pizzagate is 100% true," said Jada, a young protester. "There are paedophiles in our elite everywhere and they need to be taken down. This is happening in the US, in the UK and all over the world."
"I'm not sure if I'm QAnon, I don't follow that stuff much," said Audrey, another young protester. "But the deep state is not a secret, it's not a conspiracy theory."
And although she said she was initially not a fan of President Trump, her opinion has recently changed.
"He's doing a lot of good but that's not being shown on TV," she said.
What do legitimate charities say?
Charities and professionals who work to fight real child abuse and human trafficking say the conspiracy theorists aren't helping by supposedly "raising awareness". In fact, they say they're distracting attention away from real crimes and authentic issues.

Laura Duran, senior policy and research officer at Every Child Protected Against Trafficking, says QAnon's false claims about child trafficking are "a slap in the face of survivors who have gone through exploitation".
As an example, she cites the viral Wayfair conspiracy theory, which claimed in June that a US-based furniture retailer was involved in trafficking children.
The viral, untrue rumours caused "a significant level of trauma and distress to child trafficking survivors," Ms Duran says.
Why is it appealing to women?
Although QAnon has always had female followers, the sudden shift towards #SaveOurChildren seems to have brought into fold even larger numbers of women, some via health, yoga and wellness Facebook groups and Instagram accounts.
The majority of the FFTCUK Facebook group's admins are women, and a few come from wellness communities.
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, The rise of Save Our Children content in health and wellness-focused communities has brought more women into QAnon
"Early barrages of viral disinformation in the UK lockdown spread 5G and 'fake virus' narratives, both of which found their way into anti-vaccination communities and then wellness groups," says Joe Ondrak, a senior investigator at Logically, a tech startup that fights online disinformation.
"From here concerned 'Facebook mums' and other well-meaning parents stuck online started doing 'research'" - in the conspiracy world, this usually means watching YouTube videos and trawling fringe websites - "or finding videos reasserting conspiracy beliefs," he says.
Annie Kelly co-presents the weekly QAnon Anonymous podcast, which investigates the movement. She also reported on the first FFTCUK rally in London. She says by focusing on highly emotive content about child safety, #SaveOurChildren has managed to "worm its way into normal, basically apolitical parenting groups".
On Instagram, "soft" QAnon narratives have crept into content posted by female lifestyle influencers with tens of thousands of followers.

Mothers who spend time in online communities where concerns about children's products and content are shared have been a key driver of the new wave of QAnon believers, Ms Kelly adds.
"They can very easily become influencers themselves by sharing things they've noticed which they think add to the conspiracy," she notes.
The demographic makeup of the UK marches is significant, the experts say, as it does not match the stereotypical crowd of young men drawn from the right and the far-right.
"These weren't your typically 'red-pilled' conspiracy theorists," says Nick Backovic, a contributing editor at Logically. "They were worried mums and dads who had been scared into believing these exaggerated stats that aren't backed up by any evidence."
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Despite its considerable growth in 2020, the appeal of QAnon in the UK remains small compared to the US
Growth continues
In terms of size and appeal, the British QAnon movement is still fringe compared to the US, where the conspiracy has leaked into the mainstream. A number of politicians who have previously endorsed QAnon are set to win seats in Congress and state or local legislatures in November's elections.
But the growth of QAnon in the UK also shows no sign of stopping.
Every Sunday, Ms Ward and Ms Davis broadcast on Facebook Live to update members about their plans and discuss ways to spread the message.
The FFTCUK group keeps adding members, and further events are planned.

The first 10 years we were competing to win the championship @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would be more difficult .
I believe we played outstanding football , we were in position sometimes to win the league but we were much younger [ as a squad ] overall .
I may be even prouder of the second part of my career than the first part because the first was easy .
The second was tougher and I was really tested in my resilience .
I 'm very proud to have served the club during such a delicate stage .
You have n't been back to the stadium since losing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have chosen to keep a complete distance .
It does n't mean emotionally , just physically .
It 's important people do n't see you as a shadow .

Towards the end of your stay at Arsenal there were protests and demonstrations .
Did they hurt ?
I do n't believe you should rate highly what a fan says in the moment - a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , based on emotions .
Today it seems the minority has a big dictatorship .
They dictate what is talked about , therefore if you have 50 people on social media being negative it can somehow get more attention than 60,000 people in a stadium .
It does n't mean everybody has to do what they talk about .
If you look at our last three years you will see in 2016 we finished second - OK , it was behind Leicester City but every other club finished behind Leicester too and they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that was the first time we were not in the Champions League since 1997 .
So , yes , I wish we had maintained that record but I think this year we have a good chance in order to be back in the top four .

Are you in touch ?
I rarely keep in touch because I 'm not in the country a lot .
I respect them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it 's you or them so it 's always a bit aggressive .
But after , when you meet people outside the competition , it 's not so .
You both suffer , you both have difficulties with your team , but you have to defend your club when you 're in there at any cost and that 's why sometimes it gets a bit out of control .
Overall there is a respect to always talk things over .
As manager at Arsenal , you turned down offers from Real Madrid twice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ St-Germain , France , England and Manchester United - which of those were you closest to taking ?
Certainly Real Madrid - because you do not know many people who turned them down twice .
And it was to stay with a team which does n't have the resources to win the championship .
But I told myself if I was going to go for the challenge of managing Arsenal , I would go until the end .
You have different types of managers .
I was the longest-serving manager at Monaco and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it 's part of my personality .
Who were the toughest team or players you came up against ?
Team : Wimbledon when I first came to England .
Players : Roy Keane and Alf-Inge Haaland - they were always tough to play against .
With such a glittering career there ca n't be many regrets , but Arsenal were always linked to big names .
Do you ever sit and wonder : 'What if ? '
Of course I think what if , for example , Cristiano Ronaldo played with Thierry Henry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sylvain ] Wiltord and [ Dennis Bergkamp ] .
Maybe we score 200 goals in a season !
You regret sometimes , you think it 's your fault that you did n't decide quickly enough or sometimes financially you could n't agree quickly enough , but overall I must say you go to Chelsea , you go to Manchester United , you go to Liverpool ... every club is full of stories like this .
Do you wish you 'd signed Zlatan Ibrahimovic instead of inviting him for a trial ?
Not really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ playing at Malmo in the second league in Sweden .

What do you want your legacy to be ?
Somebody who served his club with total commitment and integrity and honesty and who loved the club .
I gave Arsenal the best years of my life .
In different circumstances , but I always felt with the same passion .
Is it true you still wake up and go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coached , including two hours at the gym every day ?
That 's true , even at weekends .

My life is football .
I grew up in a little pub where the local football team had their headquarters .
From the age of four or five I heard people talk only about football so certainly in my mind it was the only important thing in life .
Is Arsenal in good hands under current manager Mikel Arteta ?
Yes .
He has the ingredients to be a very good manager , a top manager , but many of my former players had these ingredients .
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them do their job in the way they want to do it .
He 's intelligent , he has big passion and a strong character .
And I believe he 's surrounding himself with the right people .
You signed Mesut Ozil for a then club record fee of £42.4m - what do you make of his career currently ?
I feel it is a waste for him .
Firstly because he 's in the years where a player of his talent can produce the most .
And it 's a waste for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a super talent , a creative talent that in the final third can create that killer pass .
The way football is going at the moment it 's quick counter-pressing , quick transitions and everybody plays the same .
It 's kicked out players like Ozil .
Although let 's not forget who this guy is .
A world champion who has played at Real Madrid .
He 's been the record player of assists , so you have to find a way to get him involved again .
You 're a huge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ understand the frustration others have with it ?
First of all , let 's ask ourselves : is VAR efficient ?
When you look at the stats , reviews show they have moved from 84 % of right decisions to 95 % .
It 's a system above our opinions .
The second thing is it fights against corruption because one man can not alone influence a decision .
For me this is something important because that was not always the case .
Yes , sometimes it can be slow but I believe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it back .
Last year , people did n't accept the offside rule .
This year nobody talks about it .
It 's nothing to do with money , you just want the right decisions .
Are punishments for incidents of racism enough ?
We can not tolerate racism and I believe sport , and especially football , has a huge responsibility - to show how we can live together , share what we love .
I think we can not tolerate racism in the stands .
We have to punish it .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't found the right answer yet .

That 's why I believe we always have to think how can we make the game quicker and more spectacular .

Job offers, rivals and his Arsenal legacy - Wenger in his own words
Arsene Wenger is widely credited with helping to revolutionise English football.
Wenger joined Arsenal in October 1996 and managed the club for 22 years, winning three Premier League titles and a record seven FA Cups. He also created history when the Gunners went through the 2003-04 league season unbeaten.
Since leaving Emirates Stadium, the Frenchman has taken up a role at football's world governing body Fifa, overseeing the global development of the game.
Here the 70-year-old talks to BBC Sport about the past, the present and the future.
The past
What does Arsenal mean to you?
The love of my life. I gave 22 years of my life to the club. I built the training centre and I built the Emirates Stadium. I gave a lot of sweat to get the stadium money paid back and to create an atmosphere and infrastructure to allow this club to do well and invest in the future. I think we are in a good way.
I'm a little bit like a guy who's ended a relationship and has no contact with his children any more but he still loves them.
In hindsight, was signing the loan agreement for the Emirates Stadium a mistake?
A bank agreed to loan Arsenal £260m to build the Emirates Stadium but inserted a clause stating Wenger would have to stay for five years
I accepted it because I thought it was a challenge. The first 10 years we were competing to win the championship but I knew the next 10 years would be more difficult. I believe we played outstanding football, we were in position sometimes to win the league but we were much younger [as a squad] overall.
I may be even prouder of the second part of my career than the first part because the first was easy. The second was tougher and I was really tested in my resilience. I'm very proud to have served the club during such a delicate stage.
You haven't been back to the stadium since losing your job in May 2018...
I have chosen to keep a complete distance. It doesn't mean emotionally, just physically. It's important people don't see you as a shadow. It may look like you're still trying to influence things and have your way. I felt that the best thing to do is cut it away.
Towards the end of your stay at Arsenal there were protests and demonstrations. Did they hurt?
I don't believe you should rate highly what a fan says in the moment - a fan says something based on the moment, based on emotions. Today it seems the minority has a big dictatorship. They dictate what is talked about, therefore if you have 50 people on social media being negative it can somehow get more attention than 60,000 people in a stadium.
It doesn't mean everybody has to do what they talk about. If you look at our last three years you will see in 2016 we finished second - OK, it was behind Leicester City but every other club finished behind Leicester too and they lost only three games. In 2017 that was the first time we were not in the Champions League since 1997.
So, yes, I wish we had maintained that record but I think this year we have a good chance in order to be back in the top four.
quote When you're born, your first instinct is to survive. Then you must find the meaning of your life. My life is football Arsene Wenger
You had a fierce rivalry with Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United and Jose Mourinho at Chelsea - is that still the case? Are you in touch?
I rarely keep in touch because I'm not in the country a lot. I respect them. When you're in the competition it's you or them so it's always a bit aggressive. But after, when you meet people outside the competition, it's not so.

You signed Mesut Ozil for a then club record fee of £42.4m - what do you make of his career currently?
Ozil has not played for Arsenal since football restarted in June
I feel it is a waste for him.
Firstly because he's in the years where a player of his talent can produce the most. And it's a waste for the club as well because he's a super talent, a creative talent that in the final third can create that killer pass.

The second thing is it fights against corruption because one man cannot alone influence a decision. For me this is something important because that was not always the case. Yes, sometimes it can be slow but I believe if we suppressed it people would want it back.
Last year, people didn't accept the offside rule. This year nobody talks about it. It's nothing to do with money, you just want the right decisions.
Are punishments for incidents of racism enough?
We cannot tolerate racism and I believe sport, and especially football, has a huge responsibility - to show how we can live together, share what we love.

Australian Lucas Hamilton was the best placed Michelton-Scott rider, in 15th place
The Jumbo-Visma and Mitchelton-Scott teams have withdrawn from the Giro d'Italia after six positive results in the latest round of Covid-19 testing.
General classification contender Steven Kruijswijk, who rides for Jumbo, tested positive as did four staff members of the Australian Mitchelton-Scott team.
Out of 571 tests, Team Sunweb's Michael Matthews also tested positive.
Mitchelton-Scott's British rider Simon Yates, another pre-race favourite, tested positive before stage eight.
"As a social responsibility we've made the decision to withdraw," said Mitchelton-Scott boss Brent Copeland.
Kruijswijk, ruled out of last month's Tour de France because of a shoulder injury, said: "Within the team we take a lot of measures to avoid contamination.
"And I just feel fit. I can't believe I got it. It is a very big disappointment to get this news. It is a pity that I have to leave the Giro this way."
In a statement on their website, Team Sunweb said: "Michael is currently asymptomatic, feels healthy and is now in quarantine."
A staff member from Team AG2R-La Mondiale and Team Ineos Grenadiers also tested positive and are now isolating.
The latest rounds of tests were carried out on 11 and 12 October.
In Tuesday's 10th stage, three-time world road champion Peter Sagan won the undulating 177km run from Lanciano to Tortoreto on the Adriatic coast.
It was an eventful stage in which Slovakian Sagan survived from the early breakaway and stayed out in front, fighting his way up steep climbs in heavy rain - as well as negotiating slippery descents on new tarmac.
There were moves in the general classification contenders, where Domenico Pozzovivo of NTT and Jakob Fuglsang of Astana suffered punctures - the latter losing more than a minute.
Deceuninck-Quick Step's Joao Almeida held on to the pink jersey, extending his lead to 34 seconds - with four bonus seconds for finishing third - over Wilco Kelderman of Sunweb.
The Grand Tour race, originally scheduled for May, finishes on 25 October.
Analysis
Matt Warwick, BBC Sport cycling reporter
The Giro d'Italia appears to be unravelling before our very eyes, to what could be a premature ending.
There are nearly two weeks remaining of this delayed Grand Tour, but the first rest day of coronavirus testing proves Covid 19 is now in the race 'bubble'.
Following a relatively successful Tour de France, in which no riders were directly affected, Giro organisers RCS introduced the same model: pre-race testing and further tests on the two rest days.
They, and cycling's governing body the UCI, must now consider at what point they would have to end the race early if more riders, or whole teams, pull out.
The loss of Kruijswijk blows the race further open, as he is the third of the favourites for victory to abandon after Simon Yates tested positive and Geraint Thomas of Ineos Grenadiers pulled out with an injury.
The ever colder Italian Alps await an unpredictable conclusion - if the race gets there at all.

Harry Maguire's red card after 31 minutes was the second earliest by an England player in an international, after Rob Green vs Ukraine in October 2009 (14 minutes)
Harry Maguire's miserable start to the season continued with a red card as England had two men sent off for the first time in their Nations League defeat by Denmark.
Manchester United's captain suffered a 31-minute nightmare, shown a yellow card for a reckless early challenge on Yussuf Poulsen and then dismissed by Spanish referee Jesus Gil Manzano after he brought down Kasper Dolberg trying to retrieve his own poor touch.
England's night got worse four minutes later when Christian Eriksen scored his 34th goal for Denmark on his 100th appearance after Kyle Walker was harshly adjudged to have fouled Thomas Delaney.
Chelsea defender Reece James was shown a red card after the final whistle for confronting referee Manzano.
In a low-key affair, England had their moments and it took a magnificent save from Kasper Schmeichel to claw away Mason Mount's close-range header as Denmark closed out the win.
England are now third in their group, with only the winners progressing to the Nations League finals in 2021.
Maguire misery sums up England's night
Maguire endured what must have been one of the most miserable nights of his career before he was sent off after only 31 minutes.
It was bad from the opening moments when he needlessly left his foot in on Poulsen, and the rest of his performance was distracted and chaotic.
Maguire was ill-at-ease with England's three-man defensive system, often out of position, even pulling up holding the top of his hamstring at one point before his fate was sealed by a shocking first touch which he tried to retrieve with a lunge that injured Dolberg.
He looks like a player suffering mentally as well as physically following his recent arrest in Greece and it would be no surprise if he was also taken out of the line of fire at club level given his recent poor form.
He made an error that led to Tottenham's first goal in United's 6-1 home defeat before the international break and his display earned him a rating of just 1.85 out of 10 by BBC Sport readers - which was still higher than he carded for this defeat.
England never seriously troubled Denmark apart from a couple of late scares, Harry Kane looking out of sorts and the failure of manager Gareth Southgate to introduce the creativity of Jack Grealish ahead of Jordan Henderson - which is no slight on the Liverpool captain - a mystery.
There was also more uncertainty involving goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and Walker that led to a somewhat dubious penalty award - summing up what was a very unsatisfactory and disjointed night for England and Southgate.
James indiscipline mars fine display
Chelsea's James was arguably England's best player on his full debut - only to ruin all that good work after the final whistle when he got verbally involved with referee Manzano and was shown a red card.
It was a moment of frustration for the 20-year-old but also inexcusable ill-discipline, which has been a trend in England's recent games given Walker's sending-off in Iceland last month and the two dismissals here.
This was a bad night for England but James was one of those who could have held his head high, until he unwisely showed dissent to the officials.
James had been solid in defence and a real threat in attack, on a night when England were struggling with reduced numbers and were being held at bay by a resilient Danish rearguard.
Sadly for James, a fine performance will now be remembered for the wrong reasons.
'Very proud of the performance'
England manager Gareth Southgate talking to Sky Sports: "I was very proud of the performance. I thought we were excellent with 11 men and causing them all sorts of problems down our right-hand side. The sending off alters everything and the penalty - it's a foul on Kyle Walker and I don't see the foul at all. The less said the better.
"We showed resilience and showed a great example of how to play with 10 pragmatically, and when to press. Their keeper made an amazing save to keep it at 1-0.

Three defeats in 50 - the stats
This was only England's third home defeat in their past 50 competitive internationals on home soil.
Denmark have lost just two of their past 40 international matches, keeping clean sheets in nine of their past 11 games.
Christian Eriksen has been directly involved in 32 goals in his past 35 appearances for his national side (24 goals, eight assists).
This was Marcus Rashford's 40th England cap, making him only the third player to reach that tally before the age of 23, after Michael Owen in 2002 and Wayne Rooney in 2007.

Association of Photographers 2020 Award winners unveiled Published 13 October 2020
The winners of this year's Association of Photographers (AOP) Awards have been announced, with striking images across several categories.
Image source, Lewis Khan
The AOP was formed in 1968 and promotes, protects and educates photographers of all levels.
Lewis Khan was named gold winner of the Open Award for his series of images entitled Theatre, photographed at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London.
With prolonged and unprecedented access to frontline NHS workers, Khan worked intimately amongst high-level clinical situations and procedures.
Image source, Lewis Khan
He also focused on the lesser-seen aspects of the hospital: cleaners, visitors, staff rooms and bed bays.
"From surgeons, scrub nurses and matrons to some of Europe's leading oncology consultants and their patients, Theatre is a study of the people that make up the hospital, and the fabric of their environment," said Khan.
"As the NHS continues to be a topic at the heart of British political debate, it is a timely celebration of the institution and the people relied on by the British population every single day."
Image source, Lewis Khan
Kristina Varaksina was named Open Award silver winner for her image of Yana (below).
Image source, Kristina Varaksina
"I hope this work inspired people with all kinds of skin, hair and body conditions to be more confident, as well as it inspires all of us to see everyone's unique beauty," said Varaksina.
Here is a selection of other winning images from this year's awards, with descriptions by the photographers.
Emerging Talent, Gold winner: Citizens of Nowhere, by Zula Rabikowska
Image source, Zuzanna Rabikowska
I shot portraits of myself, my sister and my mother in our family home in East London.
I wanted to imprint the journey of migration into the physicality of the image, [so] soaked my film rolls in English Channel salt water to mark the geographical identity of the British Isles.
Emerging Talent, Silver winner: Nomads, by Joshua J Sneade
Image source, Joshua J Sneade
In tents and caves amongst the rocky landscape of the Moroccan High Atlas, there lives a relatively small population of nomads.
Their traditional way of life revolves around herding animals to provide food and to sell in nearby towns.
Environment, Gold winner: Forest Bathing with Timothy Leary, by Simon Puschmann
Image source, Simon Puschmann
[This is] my first trichromatic film; three black-and-white images, each filtered red, blue and green, with five minutes between takes.
Environment, Silver winner: Anger of an English sea, by Nick Howe
Image source, Nick Howe
I found myself in a constantly changing mix of weather and light.
In the course of minutes the sky would shift from serene sunshine to tumultuous and stormy skies.
It was incredibly volatile.
Fashion & Beauty, Gold winner: Crafting, by Matthew Shave
Image source, Matthew Shave
To me, beauty photography has always been more than lipstick and powder, and I have long held a fascination for replicating conventional make-up with unexpected elements.
The bold colour works with the graphic lines to lead you through the story, whilst the tautness of the thread lends a gentle understated tension to the narrative.
Fashion & Beauty, Silver winner: Spring Cleaning, by JC Candanedo
Image source, JC Candanedo
This image represents a juxtaposition of fashionable and extremely ordinary.
I've been interested in the influencer culture for some time now, and how they present their lives as being above the ordinary.
Behind all those glamorous images on their social media, influencers are just regular people like the rest of us.
But we perceive their lives as aspirational and unattainable, and that has a toll on our self-image and our mental health.
Food & Drink, Gold winner: Gyotaku, by Aaron Graubart
Image source, Aaron Graubart
Gyotaku is a kind of nature-printing method where fine rice paper is applied to the inked-up surface of a fish or other sea creature, first developed by Japanese fishermen to record their catch.
Food & Drink, Silver winner: Eden Love Flying Gin, by Tal Silverman
Image source, Tal Silverman
A personal project exploring movement in liquids.
Lifestyle, Gold winner: Las Cholitas Voladoras, by Todd Antony
Image source, Todd Antony
Bolivia's cholitas luchadoras first began practising their craft in the early 2000s, when a group of women in El Alto created a group of luchadoras inspired by Mexico's lucha libre style of wrestling.
As little as 10 years ago, Bolivia's indigenous Aymara women were socially ostracised and systematically marginalised.
Their fight in the ring becomes a dramatisation of that day-to-day struggle.
Lifestyle, Silver winner: I didn't want to be a mum, by Sophie Ebrand
Image source, Sophie Ebrand
The general preconception of motherhood in today's society is that it is a joy. But is it only that?
Many also experience disappointment, guilt, even anger and fear.
Becoming a mum is hard but usually we only hear about sleepless nights, not the profound identity shift that accompanies becoming a mother.
The project is a raw, honest and intimate confession.
It's about telling women it's ok not to be ok with motherhood.
Photojournalism, Gold winner: Made in Japan, by Nick David and Jack Flynn
Image source, Nick David
Made in Japan is a short documentary film giving a window into the world of the famous Japanese denim mills in Okayama.
Japan's obsession with American jeans led them to become the world's best denim manufacturers in terms of knowledge and technique.
Photojournalism, Silver winner: Boy Soldiers, by Euan Myles
Image source, Euan Myles
These portraits were taken at a 1940s festival in the sleepy Edwardian spa town of Woodhall Spa.
I find it amazing the level of interest these boys show in acting out a war that finished 60 years before they were born.
Portrait, Gold winner: Jasmine, Dave and Jenny - In the Workshops of Cox London, by Alun Callender
Image source, Alun Callender
This image is from November 2019, when I was making a series of portraits of the skilled craftspeople at the workshops of Cox London Ltd, a company in London specialising in unique lighting, furniture and artworks.
After making images of the three at work in the forge, they stood back and their arrangement was perfect.
Portrait, Silver winner: Makhila, by Sam Robinson
Image source, Sam Robinson
[This is] from a personal project shot earlier this year on location at Ballet Academy East, New York City.
There is a passion and tenacity demonstrated by these dancers, but it runs hand in hand with a support for one another.
They are competing for the same goal but they also want to help each other achieve it.
Project, Gold winner: Podo, by Matthew Joseph
Image source, Matthew Joseph
In the uplands of Ethiopia, at least 1.6 million ordinary people are living lives of quiet desperation, the victims of a skin disease known as podoconiosis.
Podo is a form of elephantiasis, the main symptoms of which include grotesque swelling and deformity of the lower legs and feet.
It is caused simply by barefoot farming on certain types of ancient red volcanic soil.
Sufferers are routinely mistaken as infectious, cursed by God, possessed by spirits.
Wives are evicted, children live with the family's livestock, men wither, one becomes unhuman.
Forced from home, village and community, many starve or take their own life.
Image source, Matthew Joseph
Project, Gold winner: Wastelands, by Simon Puschmann
Image source, Simon Puschmann
For my series Wastelands, I wanted to highlight the scope and permanence of trash produced by various metropolitan cities.
By transforming garbage into an elegant exercise of composition, form and line, the disposed waste begins to create an unusual portrait of each respective place.
By elevating these disposed materials, they become mediations on the larger global issue of excessive waste.
Still Life & Object, Gold winner: All at Sea, by Wendy Carrig
Image source, Wendy Carrig
I've been collecting sea-worn plastics from my local beach for over 20 years.
Vast quantities of discarded plastics continue to choke and pollute our oceans and I created these images to highlight the issue.
Still Life & Object, Silver winner: Anima, No. 9 - The Toucan, by Florian W. Mueller
Image source, Florian W. Mueller
Long time dead, stuffed and staged, these animals show a character and a certain kind of melancholy.
The soul long ago left the body, which, thanks to taxidermy, defies decay.
Discovery Award: Into The Mountain, by Felicity Crawshaw
Image source, Felicity Crawshaw
Into The Mountain documents a project created by artist and choreographer Simone Kenyon, developed over several years in collaboration with women living and working within the Cairngorms mountain range in Scotland.
The project explores and celebrates women's connection with mountainous and wild environments.
Discovery Award: I Wish I Could Paint, by Ian Kirby
Image source, Ian Kirby
Inspired by landscape oil paintings, I challenged myself to use a single photographic exposure to offer people my interpretation of the landscapes around us.
