long run exchanges Lego leagues where fictive
to win Zimbabwe last year under Ben's
00:23:56
form to do incredible cutting theme citing
Ses in down the major issues that they
00:24:02
had with the use of feet going into Keynes's
was people getting scammed and also
00:24:08
all they had to feel from money laundering
to get going so all those issues with
00:24:14
damaging and primary concerns but we also
had solutions on how to work on that but
00:24:20
they didn't want to work through it
trying to put a cost on the table as

a said instrument of Zimbabwean you things
or thought it is our right or to be
00:24:37
cautious as
00:24:38
a cut or currency is volatile and I never
get it so until and unless we have that
00:24:45
if it's going for us. And also the regulatory
infrastructure to be able to regulate
00:24:49
big defeat is around that
you don't get into I think
00:24:51
a bit difficult for us to embrace them in
for such 2 years and quite positive spin
00:24:57
offs for the country but for investors

Sunny side of sports let's
begin in Zimbabwe where 2 time
00:28:00
a limping in Could Davis Robinson of
the United States recently completed
00:28:05
a weeklong visit Robinson and gauged
in some sports diplomacy and he
00:28:12
also spoke out against gender based
violence and sexual harassment and abuse
00:28:19
Columbus reports from Harare Zimbabwe.
00:28:27
Those up are coming up and it's clearly
00:28:29
a depopulation sports club you know not
even one of the places I've got to visit
00:28:34
will be showing you these did well in the
southern African nation they are mainly
00:28:40
you know I can live my dream in 2 and
sees the performance and success of the
00:28:45
fittest sigs. Is being affected by
gender. Visit to Zimbabwe thanks to
00:28:51
the u.s.
00:28:52
State Department's Bureau for educational
and cultural off is which is sponsoring
00:28:58
Robbins who is support for the program
we're coming we're going to different.
00:29:05
Ways you can. Gender based violence and
we just bring in information about it and
00:29:12
working with different organizations and
clubs and schools and just bringing
00:29:16
awareness to. This coming
through the u.s.a.
00:29:19
And most usually when it comes to athletics
you know you have not only that you
00:29:24
have women also so you have both men and
women able to gather and usually through
00:29:28
athletics people are more open with you
know you know network and you know people
00:29:34
listening to different types of athletes
and so I think what it is you using the
00:29:39
platform of saying you know there's
00:29:42
a problem with. Throughout not only
throughout you know but throughout the world
00:29:47
and maybe here in Zimbabwe he says should
the issue of gender violence in sport to
00:29:52
be addressed these sexist African nation.
00:29:59
In big international tournaments like the
Olympics the fifo old cob in the Africa
00:30:05
Cup of Nations Robinson is talking
to both male and female live in the
00:30:12
visas to do. Goes both ways
a person a female just
00:30:18
a man to be your protect them provided
to it you know so so for me it's more so
00:30:24
looking at one particular group or one
particular this is an issue that affects
00:30:28
everyone throughout the world and as soon
as we're able to tackle that the better
00:30:33
we we all are going to be because because
the better we all are able to shine to
00:30:36
bring out the best waking with implementing
pop in the female students and then
00:30:40
tweak. Has been leading should
be for youth. In tissue
00:30:47
institutions in Zimbabwe's main sporting
India's And Quint acting Wakefield's bears
00:30:53
on the theme taking strive and setting
the pace I'm going to stand up is the
00:30:57
violence God gave us all tell us to guess
right and if you're afraid it's worth
00:31:03
afraid of just to show I.Q.'s You
were kind of cheating the world
00:31:06
a little bit right so I
won't we should all want
00:31:09
a person the feel comfortable with Sure and
their talents and gifts with the world
00:31:14
right that's going to make us
00:31:15
a better right because there's maybe
things that I need in life that maybe
00:31:19
a man capable maybe
00:31:20
a female can only provide and vice versa
so that's that's kind of where I'll meet
00:31:24
with that I've been fortunate enough to
work in 2 steps I work that you in l.v.
00:31:28
And I work at
00:31:29
a house they make us both. Head coaches
are black women you know and so I am
00:31:35
benefited from that they've helped me Miss
Lee Witt with my life they've helped me
00:31:39
Miss Lee Witt get to the point when I met
now so this is something that I feel
00:31:43
close to those to be with is
off wisdom from a mythic us to
00:31:47
a time Olympian Davis will be and
so on which must inspire food and.
00:31:55

An African football the Fed There's that
will surely be flying in Cairo this
00:33:30
evening that's where the Super Eagles of
Nigeria will play the Carthage Eagles of
00:33:36
to me JD in the 3rd place match at the
Africa Cup of Nations tournaments my
00:33:41
longtime friend and former v.o.a.
00:33:44
Colleague Barry Mawn used to describe
these types of games as the kiss your
00:33:50
sister 3rd place match in other words it
certainly doesn't have the same passion
00:33:57
and electricity as the Nations Cup Final
Meanwhile some Nigerian sports analysts
00:34:04
been looking at the positives of hosting
the Africa Cup of Nations to help the host
00:34:09
country boost tourism. One of
these analysts. Who's based in
00:34:16
Port Harcourt Nigeria in an interview
with Iron Mike. Can said the 32nd
00:34:23
edition of the Nations Cup has provided
some spicy and surprising moments
00:34:30
I think so far quite interesting to know
meant it's been interesting in the sense
00:34:36
that more teams playing in
00:34:38
a competition for the 1st and $10.00 to
$14.00 format for the 1st time India of
00:34:42
these 2 have the initial score and of
course. There and I'm sure one of the major
00:34:47
sofa in the competition is the defeat of
my dog and of course Ben republics are
00:34:53
qualification for the 2nd and nobody give
been in Republika Jones but in the dust
00:34:58
they themselves or found themselves in
the 2nd round of the competition and of
00:35:02
course the big going or should I say the
biggest one of the initial score defeat of
00:35:06
the nation in. Its major made jobs and
one of the most major upsets in these 2
00:35:14
of the English I. Think of no add much of
00:35:17
a crowd particularly much as accepting
might is we. Think. African you
00:35:24
know we have to look at much
more integration we need
00:35:26
a continent of Africa travelling is still
00:35:29
a problem within the continent especially
in terms of accessibility and all of that
00:35:33
so we need to get
00:35:34
a crowd to be part of the nations combined
to do that we need better integration in
00:35:39
Africa especially as you've got sports
can really skill to the leagues African
00:35:44
missions football. What do you think the
configuration of African Football should
00:35:50
do to assure that much more
than by. African football
00:35:57
fans coming from their own countries Yeah
that's what I said probably cuff we need
00:36:02
to walk with the African Union and try
to relax. Especially for those that are
00:36:08
coming from outside of the central west and
sent. South Africa we need to integrate
00:36:14
more of the of the continent I was able
to do that we can now ensure that doing
00:36:19
major competitions like this particularly
for the missions or we get the African
00:36:23
you know to talk to respective eds of
across the continent and try to relax visa
00:36:29
for those who are mystically for Danish You
could say look before you can for Visa
00:36:35
and show you have much tickets to be able
to attend emissions come down way down
00:36:39
much to get particularly guarantees your
visa regardless of where your coming from
00:36:43
but we need to be able to integrate the
continent and make connectivity from one
00:36:48
part of the continent to be much more
much more easier that what we have
00:36:52
a moment on herbal to use in the time and
of continent to boost stories in for the
00:36:58
host nation is it possible is something
that the confirmation of Africa for
00:37:02
a book I'm not sure you can you boost tourism
when I arrive if you don't have much
00:37:07
of crowd attending the nation's Corbin are
you boosterism it is only when people
00:37:12
arrive dead able to see Dick on tree and
they cannot see look after diminish and
00:37:17
scope I think I want to come back again
to see more to more of the country so
00:37:22
without you I've been large number of funds
like number of people coming to watch
00:37:27
this much is doing the missions or I do
grew trollies in it's only when people see
00:37:31
in new country and are surprised by what
this young ground that war makes them was
00:37:36
into Come back again and see what's going
on so we need to I did crowd on 2 of the
00:37:41
crowd we need to relax visa issues African
Cup of Nations with as many fans as
00:37:47
possible can't travel and watch this much
as I went to watch the matches this year

00:41:19
the British Open is the oldest of the 4
majors and the only one held outside the
00:41:24
United States and this year there are
00:41:26
a multitude of top contenders looking to
take home the title and the coveted Clare
00:41:31
jug given to the winner the tournament
favorite according to the betting odds is
00:41:36
home favorite Rory McILROY it 30 year old
not choroid who won the British Open in
00:41:42
2014 has the advantage of competing is home
nation of Northern Ireland the location
00:41:48
of the British Open rotates throughout the
United Kingdom but has not been held in
00:41:52
Northern Ireland since 1951 McElroy
is in good form heading into the open
00:41:58
championship most recently
picking up a win at the r.b.c.
00:42:02
Canadian Open in June and the Players'
Championship in March his power putting and
00:42:08
momentum make him the man to be on his
home soil. 2nd in the betting odds is
00:42:13
American powerhouse Brooks kept the to
29 year old from Florida is one of the
00:42:19
strongest drivers on tour but
00:42:21
a short game is nothing to scoff at either
Those skills have allowed him to become
00:42:25
the current number one ranked
golfer in the world kept
00:42:30
a has finished 2nd or better at the
last 4 majors winning 2 of them off
00:42:35
a 6 career professional golfers Association
Tour titles for Aren't the majors
00:42:41
basically when the pressure's on kept
performs But despite all of his accolades one
00:42:48
golfing achievement kept
00:42:49
a has never accomplished is winning the
British Open he looked to win his 1st clear
00:42:55
jug this weekend
00:42:57
a big question coming into the 29000 British
Open is Will Tiger Woods play tweens
00:43:03
full capabilities the odds makers seem to
think so picking him with the 5th best
00:43:09
odds to win the title What's
00:43:11
a sad and up and down season though he
shocked the world by winning the Masters
00:43:15
after an 11 year major drought but
he missed the cut in the p.g.a.
00:43:19
Championship and 2021st at the u.s.
00:43:22
Open it will be interesting to see which
Tiger shows up in Northern Ireland and you
00:43:28
can't rule out defending champion Francesco
Molinari either he put forth the
00:43:33
scintillating weekend last year to win by
2 strokes and capture the clear. And he
00:43:39
won the Arnold Palmer Invitational this
Mark Molinari stands tied for 6th in the
00:43:44
betting odds considering the Italian
a sellin pick to repeat and finally
00:43:50
a sleeper pick to win the Open championship
could be South African veteran Louis
00:43:55
who stays in with stays in
00:43:56
a one the 2010 title and at age 36 he's
still in his golfing prime. After winning
00:44:02
the South African Open last December and
finishing in the top 10 at this year's
00:44:07
u.s.
00:44:07
Open he proved he still has the chops to
go off with the best of them who stays and
00:44:12
has the 13th best odds to win the 21000
British Open other top contenders include
00:44:18
the number 2 great golfer in the world
Dustin Johnson the talented Spaniard John

rom another British home favorite in Justin
Rose an up and coming American Zander
00:44:29
softly despite his dramatic u.s.
00:44:32
Open victory Gary Woodland is
00:44:35
a long shot to win the cleric he has
$60.00 to $1.00 odds with so much talent
00:44:41
packed at the top of the p.g.a.

a limping in Could Davis Robinson of
the United States recently completed
00:28:05
a weeklong visit Robinson and gauged
in some sports diplomacy and he
00:28:12
also spoke out against gender based
violence and sexual harassment and abuse
00:28:19
Columbus reports from Harare Zimbabwe.
00:28:27
Those up are coming up and it's clearly
00:28:29
a depopulation sports club you know not
even one of the places I've got to visit
00:28:34
will be showing you these did well in the
southern African nation they are mainly
00:28:40
you know I can live my dream in 2 and
sees the performance and success of the
00:28:45
fittest sigs. Is being affected by
gender. Visit to Zimbabwe thanks to
00:28:51
the u.s.
00:28:52
State Department's Bureau for educational
and cultural off is which is sponsoring
00:28:58
Robbins who is support for the program
we're coming we're going to different.
00:29:05
Ways you can. Gender based violence and
we just bring in information about it and
00:29:12
working with different organizations and
clubs and schools and just bringing
00:29:16
awareness to. This coming
through the u.s.a.
00:29:19
And most usually when it comes to athletics
you know you have not only that you
00:29:24
have women also so you have both men and
women able to gather and usually through
00:29:28
athletics people are more open with you
know you know network and you know people
00:29:34
listening to different types of athletes
and so I think what it is you using the
00:29:39
platform of saying you know there's
00:29:42
a problem with. Throughout not only
throughout you know but throughout the world
00:29:47
and maybe here in Zimbabwe he says should
the issue of gender violence in sport to
00:29:52
be addressed these sexist African nation.
00:29:59
In big international tournaments like the
Olympics the fifo old cob in the Africa
00:30:05
Cup of Nations Robinson is talking
to both male and female live in the
00:30:12
visas to do. Goes both ways
a person a female just
00:30:18
a man to be your protect them provided
to it you know so so for me it's more so
00:30:24
looking at one particular group or one
particular this is an issue that affects
00:30:28
everyone throughout the world and as soon
as we're able to tackle that the better
00:30:33
we we all are going to be because because
the better we all are able to shine to
00:30:36
bring out the best waking with implementing
pop in the female students and then
00:30:40
tweak. Has been leading should
be for youth. In tissue
00:30:47
institutions in Zimbabwe's main sporting
India's And Quint acting Wakefield's bears
00:30:53
on the theme taking strive and setting
the pace I'm going to stand up is the
00:30:57
violence God gave us all tell us to guess
right and if you're afraid it's worth
00:31:03
afraid of just to show I.Q.'s You
were kind of cheating the world
00:31:06
a little bit right so I
won't we should all want
00:31:09
a person the feel comfortable with Sure and
their talents and gifts with the world
00:31:14
right that's going to make us
00:31:15
a better right because there's maybe
things that I need in life that maybe
00:31:19
a man capable maybe
00:31:20
a female can only provide and vice versa
so that's that's kind of where I'll meet
00:31:24
with that I've been fortunate enough to
work in 2 steps I work that you in l.v.
00:31:28
And I work at
00:31:29

are black women you know and so I am
00:31:35
benefited from that they've helped me Miss
Lee Witt with my life they've helped me
00:31:39
Miss Lee Witt get to the point when I met
now so this is something that I feel
00:31:43
close to those to be with is
off wisdom from a mythic us to
00:31:47
a time Olympian Davis will be and
so on which must inspire food and.
00:31:55

00:33:30
evening that's where the Super Eagles of
Nigeria will play the Carthage Eagles of
00:33:36
to me JD in the 3rd place match at the
Africa Cup of Nations tournaments my
00:33:41
longtime friend and former v.o.a.
00:33:44
Colleague Barry Mawn used to describe
these types of games as the kiss your
00:33:50
sister 3rd place match in other words it
certainly doesn't have the same passion
00:33:57
and electricity as the Nations Cup Final
Meanwhile some Nigerian sports analysts
00:34:04
been looking at the positives of hosting
the Africa Cup of Nations to help the host
00:34:09
country boost tourism. One of
these analysts. Who's based in
00:34:16
Port Harcourt Nigeria in an interview
with Iron Mike. Can said the 32nd
00:34:23
edition of the Nations Cup has provided
some spicy and surprising moments
00:34:30
I think so far quite interesting to know
meant it's been interesting in the sense
00:34:36
that more teams playing in
00:34:38
a competition for the 1st and $10.00 to
$14.00 format for the 1st time India of
00:34:42
these 2 have the initial score and of
course. There and I'm sure one of the major
00:34:47
sofa in the competition is the defeat of
my dog and of course Ben republics are
00:34:53
qualification for the 2nd and nobody give
been in Republika Jones but in the dust
00:34:58
they themselves or found themselves in
the 2nd round of the competition and of
00:35:02
course the big going or should I say the
biggest one of the initial score defeat of
00:35:06
the nation in. Its major made jobs and
one of the most major upsets in these 2
00:35:14
of the English I. Think of no add much of
00:35:17
a crowd particularly much as accepting
might is we. Think. African you
00:35:24
know we have to look at much
more integration we need
00:35:26
a continent of Africa travelling is still
00:35:29
a problem within the continent especially
in terms of accessibility and all of that
00:35:33
so we need to get
00:35:34
a crowd to be part of the nations combined
to do that we need better integration in
00:35:39
Africa especially as you've got sports
can really skill to the leagues African
00:35:44
missions football. What do you think the
configuration of African Football should
00:35:50
do to assure that much more
than by. African football
00:35:57
fans coming from their own countries Yeah
that's what I said probably cuff we need
00:36:02
to walk with the African Union and try
to relax. Especially for those that are
00:36:08
coming from outside of the central west and
sent. South Africa we need to integrate
00:36:14
more of the of the continent I was able
to do that we can now ensure that doing
00:36:19
major competitions like this particularly
for the missions or we get the African
00:36:23
you know to talk to respective eds of
across the continent and try to relax visa
00:36:29
for those who are mystically for Danish You
could say look before you can for Visa
00:36:35
and show you have much tickets to be able
to attend emissions come down way down
00:36:39
much to get particularly guarantees your
visa regardless of where your coming from
00:36:43
but we need to be able to integrate the
continent and make connectivity from one
00:36:48
part of the continent to be much more
much more easier that what we have
00:36:52
a moment on herbal to use in the time and
of continent to boost stories in for the
00:36:58
host nation is it possible is something
that the confirmation of Africa for
00:37:02
a book I'm not sure you can you boost tourism

00:37:07
of crowd attending the nation's Corbin are
you boosterism it is only when people

00:41:26
a multitude of top contenders looking to
take home the title and the coveted Clare
00:41:31
jug given to the winner the tournament
favorite according to the betting odds is
00:41:36
home favorite Rory McILROY it 30 year old
not choroid who won the British Open in

2014 has the advantage of competing is home
nation of Northern Ireland the location
00:41:48

00:41:52
Northern Ireland since 1951 McElroy

00:41:58
championship most recently
picking up a win at the r.b.c.
00:42:02
Canadian Open in June and the Players'
Championship in March his power putting and
00:42:08
momentum make him the man to be on his
home soil. 2nd in the betting odds is
00:42:13
American powerhouse Brooks kept the to
29 year old from Florida is one of the
00:42:19
strongest drivers on tour but
00:42:21
a short game is nothing to scoff at either
Those skills have allowed him to become
00:42:25
the current number one ranked
golfer in the world kept
00:42:30
a has finished 2nd or better at the
last 4 majors winning 2 of them off
00:42:35
a 6 career professional golfers Association
Tour titles for Aren't the majors

00:42:48
golfing achievement kept
00:42:49
a has never accomplished is winning the
British Open he looked to win his 1st clear
00:42:55
jug this weekend
00:42:57
a big question coming into the 29000 British
Open is Will Tiger Woods play tweens
00:43:03
full capabilities the odds makers seem to
think so picking him with the 5th best
00:43:09
odds to win the title What's
00:43:11
a sad and up and down season though he
shocked the world by winning the Masters
00:43:15
after an 11 year major drought but
he missed the cut in the p.g.a.
00:43:19
Championship and 2021st at the u.s.
00:43:22
Open it will be interesting to see which
Tiger shows up in Northern Ireland and you
00:43:28
can't rule out defending champion Francesco
Molinari either he put forth the
00:43:33
scintillating weekend last year to win by
2 strokes and capture the clear. And he
00:43:39
won the Arnold Palmer Invitational this
Mark Molinari stands tied for 6th in the
00:43:44
betting odds considering the Italian
a sellin pick to repeat and finally
00:43:50
a sleeper pick to win the Open championship
could be South African veteran Louis

who stays in with stays in
00:43:56
a one the 2010 title and at age 36 he's
still in his golfing prime. After winning

00:44:35
a long shot to win the cleric he has
