  2. We’re all probably tired of hearing about layoffs by now, but sadly it’s a depressing reality of the current video game industry. Even in companies that are seemingly doing well we’ve seen long-time employees losing their jobs, and for a lot of players the worry is that this is going to have a knock-on effect not just on other creators but also the games themselves. One of the most recent layoffs, just today, in fact, was from mobile game creator Playtika. The company has laid off around 400 jobs, or about 10% of its workforce, in one fell swoop following another round of layoffs in 2022. You may know Playtika as the force behind developer Wooga,themselves responsible for the hugely successful puzzle and narrative game June’s Journey. June’s Journey is one of many games that make up Playtika’s overall portfolio and has also been a surprise hit for Wooga. The studio even commissioned its own podcast to expand on the game's narrative lore. But for the layperson watching these layoffs happen in real-time, they may be worrying that even the makers of a highly successful game like this will be at risk. Should we be worried? If you’re a big June’s Journey fan, then there's nothing to worry about. Wooga is one of Playtika’s most lucrative subsidiaries and is hugely successful on its own. At the moment, these layoffs are restricted to the main company. However, if there’s anything we’ve seen with other major corporations like Embracer, these layoffs can have a knock-on effect on virtually any studio that could be seen as underperforming. It's a major change to the behaviour of Playtika. Only a while ago back in 2023, Playtika seemed pretty confident and was even making offers to buy Angry Birds developers Rovio Entertainment. But it seems that things have changed since then… What’s the implication then, for us as players? Well, at the moment we can’t be sure. For successful games, we can assume they’re just going to keep going. Although Playtika hasn’t been shy about closing down those studios and taking these games on directly as their own, as was the case with Best Fiends developers Seriously who saw their studio shut down only a year before the game received a major marketing push. Sadly, as it stands, games are more often than not seen as a commodity, with little regard for the studios that have made them. It may be a shrewd business decision - arguably - but it also means that ultimately these titles are taken out of the hands of the players who know them in and out and understand their systems. A lower quality of ongoing service is then most likely inevitable. The layoffs explained If you’re wondering why so many companies are making these layoffs, it could be argued that it’s partially due to Covid-19. When these companies had a ‘captive audience’ they expanded massively due to the huge influx of profits when video games became everyone’s go-to choice of entertainment. Unfortunately, nobody seemed to have told them that the good times don’t last forever. So, now, they’re deciding to cut out the people that they hired, or more besides. Add on the disastrous business dealings of companies like Embracer, and sadly it’s the developers who end up getting hit with the backlash. For now, things are business as usual. But many have been wondering if these cuts to teams that have built up expertise over the years will lead to a crash. In this case, we could see some serious changes in how things work for both players and studios. Whether that means a break-up of the huge studios that have consolidated over the years or independent developers falling prey to a more volatile scenario could dictate how the game industry, and games themselves, develop for the foreseeable future. What do you think? Do you think this is the last we’ll see of it? Will it change and improve? Have you seen any changes in your favourite games since these layoffs happened? SOURCE
  3. Rishi Sunak has succeeded in getting his key Rwanda bill through the House of Commons after a Tory rebellion failed to materialise. The bill, which aims to stop legal challenges against ministers' plans to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, was approved by 320 votes to 276 votes. Dozens of Tories thought the bill was flawed and had threatened to rebel but in the end, only 11 voted against it. The bill now goes to the House of Lords where it will face stiff opposition. Mr Sunak argues that deporting some asylum seekers to Rwanda will be a deterrent to migrants seeking to get to the UK by crossing the Channel in small boats, but Labour has labelled the plan an expensive "gimmick". Over the past two days MPs on the right of the Conservative Party have tried to change the bill, arguing that, without amendments, the government's Rwanda plan could be blocked by the courts. On Wednesday, former Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick tabled an amendment which would permit the UK government to ignore parts of human rights law in relation to sending people to Rwanda. Mr Jenrick also proposed an amendment which would ensure ministers automatically reject last-minute interim orders from the European Court of Human Rights. Such an order was responsible for blocking a flight to Rwanda back in June 2022. The amendment was not approved by MPs but received the backing of 61 Conservatives - the biggest rebellion of Mr Sunak's premiership. Some MPs had suggested they would be willing to abstain or even vote against the entire bill if it remained unchanged. The bill could have fallen if about 30 Conservatives had voted against it - an outcome that would have severely damaged the prime minister's authority, potentially fatally. However, in the event, just 11 MPs - including Mr Jenrick and former Home Secretary Suella Braverman - voted against it. Other Tory MPs on the list include Miriam Cates, Sir Simon Clarke, Mark Francois and Danny Kruger. Eighteen Conservative MPs did not record a vote, however some of those may have simply been unable to attend the vote rather than deliberately abstaining. Conservative Danny Kruger, who voted against the bill, said some of his colleagues had opted to support the legislation despite their concerns in order to avoid "political disruption". Sir Simon Clarke, who also opposed the bill said: "All Conservatives want the Rwanda policy to succeed... the profound misgivings some of us hold about the bill are on record, but history will now relate who was right." Labour opposed the bill, with shadow Home Office secretary Yvette Cooper labelling the policy a "costly con" that had so far failed to send any asylum seekers to Rwanda. Home Secretary James Cleverly defended the plan arguing that it sent "an unambiguously clear message that if you enter the United Kingdom illegally you cannot stay. "This bill has been meticulously drafted to end the merry-go-round of legal challenges," he added. The debate over the legislation has exposed on-going divisions among Conservatives - on Tuesday evening two deputy chairmen, Lee Anderson and Brendan Clarke-Smith, quit their roles in order to vote for the rebel amendments. Despite his concerns, Mr Clarke-Smith back the bill at the final stage, while Mr Anderson did not register a vote. One rebel source told the BBC: "It is not the case that tonight's vote is the end of matters. If the House of Lords chooses - as I suspect they will - to send back amendments that weaken the bill, the response of those [right-wing Conservative MPs] will be to table amendments in lieu that toughen the bill." "The prime minister is by no means out of the woods." As the debate in the House of Commons unfolded, developments took place elsewhere. Speaking from the Davos conference in Switzerland, Rwanda's President Paul Kagame said he would return money to the UK if no asylum seekers were sent to his country. The UK has so far paid £240m to the East African nation and is expected to pay a further £50m. A Rwandan government spokeswoman later said the country had "no obligation" to return the money but would consider a request for a refund from the UK. In Westminster, a Downing Street spokesman was forced to deny it was trying to change the Civil Service code to include a presumption that emergency injunctions from the European Court of Human Rights should be ignored. At the start of the day Home Office Minister Michael Tomlinson had said the government was "looking at that", but hours later No 10 said it was not seeking to rewrite the code. The Cabinet Office later issued guidance stating that it was the "responsibility" of civil servants to "implement" a minister's decision to ignore rulings from the court. SOURCE
  4. With Audi set to bow out of the Dakar Rally - probably after it’s won the thing, with Carlos Sainz Snr currently leading the 2024 edition in the RS Q e-tron - some are beginning to wonder who might challenge for victory in 2025. Including Ford, which reckons it should be them. Cue a major announcement of Ford’s global motorsport programme, which includes taking a ‘Raptor-branded’ truck to the world’s toughest endurance race next year. The pair of Rangers out there at the moment won't cut it, apparently. “Racing is part of Ford’s DNA,” said Ford CEO Jim Farley. “We earned that by living in the future not the past. We are committed to making the world a better place by producing vehicles with passion and love that people can’t live without. “We will race to win everywhere: Mustang on the track and Raptor off-road, to mind blowing EV demonstrators, and unforgettable brand experiences for our customers. There could not be a more exciting time in the history of Ford Performance Motorsports than right now.” Golly. As well as doing WEC, Le Mans and IMSA with a Mustang GT3, Ford will be dabbling in Nascar, NHRA and Pikes Peak; it’s returning to the latter with an as-yet-untitled ‘EV demonstrator’ having rocked up to the last event with the 1,400bhp SuperVan 4.2. Not to mention that it’s now knee-deep in developing a new F1 engine with Red Bull ahead of the 2026 powertrain overhaul. Ford claims to be involved in high-voltage propulsion (EV motors, right?), ICE and turbo manufacturing plus electronics systems, although exactly how much of the workload is being shared between it and Red Bull Powertrains hasn’t been clear since the Red Bull-Ford link-up was announced last year. Anyway, we’re getting off topic. Ford is going for the outright win in the Dakar in 2025 and its racing Raptor will be developed alongside M-Sport, which also looks after its hybrid WRC car. Is any of this making you want to go out right now and buy a Puma? Or better yet, a whopping great pick-up truck? SOURCE
  5. Yemen's Houthis have targeted a US-owned vessel in the Red Sea after Washington said it will re-designate the group as "global terrorists". The group said they hit the "Genco Picardy" bulk carrier with missiles which resulted in a "direct hit". The US military says the vessel was hit by a drone on Wednesday evening. Washington's new designation of the Houthis will require US financial institutions to freeze Houthi funds and its members will be banned from the US. The Houthi Red Sea attacks are a response to Israel's military operation in Gaza. Earlier this month, the UK and US launched air strikes on dozens of Houthi targets in Yemen in an attempt to stop the group from targeting vessels in the Red Sea. On Wednesday evening, a Houthi spokesperson said the group had successfully targeted the Genco Picardy, and that the attack was a response to "the American-British aggression against our country". The US military said the ship was hit by a drone launched from Houthi controlled areas in Yemen. It said there was some damage but no injuries, and the vessel remained seaworthy. US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said the re-designation of the Houthis as "global terrorists" is in response to the Iran-backed group's attacks on commercial shipping in the region. The move to re-designate the Houthis reverses Secretary of State Antony Blinken's 2021 decision to remove the rebels from the US Specially Designated Global Terrorist List (SDGT). In a statement, Mr Sullivan said the recent Houthi attacks "fit the textbook definition of terrorism", as they have put US personnel in danger and jeopardized global trade operations. "If the Houthis cease their attacks in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, the United States will immediately re-evaluate this designation," Mr Sullivan added. In the waning days of the Trump administration officials imposed the SDGT and foreign terrorist organisation (FTO) labels on the Houthis. This action was taken despite warnings from the UN and aid groups that it could push war-torn Yemen into a large-scale famine. But in 2021, shortly after President Joe Biden's inauguration, that decision was reversed by Mr Blinken, the newly installed Secretary of State. He cited the dire humanitarian situation faced by the people of Yemen. Speaking to reporters ahead of Wednesday's announcement, senior administration officials defended the decision to reinstate the SDGT designation but not the FTO designation, which they said had been taken to ensure the continued flow of aid into Yemen. "It was the correct step to revoke," one official said, arguing that it was a move taken in "recognition of a very dire humanitarian situation" in the country and to ensure that "US policies weren't impeding" civilians' access to urgent aid. But they accepted that the Houthis' campaign of attacks on commercial shipping, which has now seen dozens of missiles fired at vessels in the Red Sea, has become "unacceptable". The new SDGT designation will also bar people and companies in the US from offering any support to the Houthis. However, officials were keen to emphasise that a range of exemptions will be worked into the new designation to ensure humanitarian aid continues to flow into Yemen, a country devastated by almost a decade of civil war. "We are rolling out unprecedented carve outs and licenses to help prevent adverse impacts on the Yemeni people," said Mr Sullivan in his statement. "The people of Yemen should not pay the price for the actions of the Houthis." The Houthis began attacking merchant vessels in November, saying they were responding to Israel's military operation in Gaza. Since then, the group has launched dozens of attacks on commercial tankers passing through the Red Sea, one of the world's busiest shipping lanes. In response, the US and UK launched a wave of air strikes against dozens of Houthi targets on 11 January. The strikes - supported by Australia, Bahrain, the Netherlands and Canada - began after Houthi forces ignored an ultimatum to cease their attacks in the region. Biden administration officials denied that the new terrorist designation was an acceptance that the air campaign may not deter further Houthi attacks. "We see these sanctions as one piece of a broader effort to bring the Houthis back from the terror attacks they are currently committing," one official said. "Our sanctions are best not seen in isolation but as part of a broader effort." In the wake of last week's strikes, the Houthis said the US and UK would "soon realise" the action was "the greatest folly in their history". "America and Britain made a mistake in launching the war on Yemen because they did not benefit from their previous experiences," senior Houthi official Mohammed al-Bukhaiti wrote on social media. Yemen has been devastated by a civil war that escalated in 2015, when the Houthis seized control of large parts of the west of the country from the internationally recognised government and a Saudi-led coalition intervened in an effort to restore its rule. The fighting has reportedly left more than 160,000 people dead and triggered one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, with two thirds of the po[CENSORED]tion - 21 million people - in need of some form of aid.

  6. England midfielder Jordan Henderson is close to joining Ajax in a permanent move, with his contract at Saudi club Al-Ettifaq set to be terminated. Preparations are being made for his arrival in Amsterdam but no deal has yet been concluded. The midfielder, 33, signed a three-year contract worth a reported £700,000 a week with Al-Ettifaq when he left Liverpool in a £12m deal in July. However, reports have suggested he is unhappy and wants to return to Europe. Henderson linked up with ex-Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, who is Al-Ettifaq manager, but appears to be heading back to Europe, having made just 17 appearances in the Saudi Pro League. Watch: Inside the Saudi Sporting Machine The former Sunderland trainee, who was a prominent supporter of the LGBTQ+ community during his time at Anfield, was criticised by many for moving to Saudi Arabia, where same-sex sexual activity is illegal. He said he was "really hurt" by the criticism, adding his intention has always been to "help causes and communities". Some England fans booed Henderson in his first game back in the country during the Three Lions' friendly win over Australia at Wembley in October. Saudi Arabian Pro League clubs made 94 signings in a remarkable £750m spending spree last summer. Henderson is set to be the first major name to leave, although BBC Sport has been told French star Karim Benzema also has doubts about staying at Al-Ittihad having joined the Jeddah club on a three-year deal in June. Saudi Pro League bosses are understood not to be concerned by Henderson's impending exit from Al-Ettifaq. The financial implications of his departure are said to be "positive" for the Saudis, who respect that he was not settled. BBC Sport has been told the league worked quickly to resolve the situation amicably, with no-one being blamed for the way things have worked out. Ajax have endured a difficult campaign so far and find themselves in fifth place, 23 points behind leaders PSV Eindhoven. Should the deal be concluded swiftly, Henderson could make his debut for the Dutch giants against RKC Waalwijk in the Eredivisie on Sunday. Ajax is a good club for him to go to and play for - Analysis Former Liverpool midfielder Charlie Adam on BBC Radio 5 Live: "It boils down to, is this move about getting back into the England squad for the Euros in the summer? Ultimately, he made the move and was criticised for it, but to walk away within six months is a big decision. "It is a footballing decision, not financial. "He's obviously had a chat with his family and what they think, and with [England manager] Gareth [Southgate] about his chances of making the team, but if you were part of the Saudi League who made this investment in him you would be left feeling disappointed. "That's football, there is no real loyalty in the game. If a club wants to get rid of you then they sell you, if you're a player and you want to move, you make it happen. "Am I surprised? A little yes, but ultimately, knowing Jordan, it is purely about getting into that England squad for the European Championships. "Jordan is moving on to a club in Ajax that struggled at the start of the season but have picked up in recent months and it is a good club for him to go to and play for, and hopefully get picked for the England squad in the summer." Former Everton midfielder Leon Osman on BBC Radio 5 Live: "I was initially surprised because if you sign a deal to go somewhere you are expected to see out more than six months before you leave, but maybe the Saudi Pro League don't want to be seen as holding players to ransom. "If you are trying to entice others to go out there and try out the experience, then players will be put off the idea if they don't settle and then have to stay for the entirety of a three or four year deal. "Even if they have some quality players out there, the general standard is not very high and maybe Gareth Southgate has taken that into account in conversations with him." SOURCE

  9. Way back in 2005, we saw the very first fruit from Ferrari's 'XX' programme. That first car, the FXX, was an Enzo like no other. It was modified by Ferrari to be run exclusively on track. You see, Ferrari had the idea to take on board a ‘special group’ of customers in developing future Ferrari road cars. The idea was they’d drive these hyper-realised machines on Ferrari’s terms, and feed important data back to the engineers to inform thinking around what the company could do for its future customer cars, rather than only taking data from its honed, chiselled in-house test drivers. But you can't just be anybody and play in the XX club. You have to be a somebody. The best of Ferrari's exclusive customer base. Which means many people will never get close to the likes of the FXX, 599XX, SF90 XX, the XX 'Evoluzione' cars or the FXXK. Fortunately, Top Gear is on hand to show you the rarest of the rare. The holiest of the holy. Welcome to Ferrari's XX secret stash at Fiorano.
  10. The Palestinians' top envoy to the UK has accused the government of "double standards and hypocrisy" in its policies towards them. Husam Zomlot criticised PM Rishi Sunak for opposing an application at the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocide in the war in Gaza. The UK had suffered "reputational damage" in the Middle East, he said. But he welcomed a recent decision by the government to ban violent Israeli settlers from entering the UK. Last month, UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron said on X that settlers responsible for attacks on Palestinians would be barred. The move followed the announcement of a similar plan by the US. "[This is] welcomed," said Mr Zomlot. "In my opinion that was a very significant moment - not because of the policy itself but because this is the first time in 75 years the UK takes any step that has to do with sanctions [on Israel]." There has been a reported rise in violence by settlers in recent months, especially since the mass Hamas attacks on Israel on 7 October and the Israeli military campaign in Gaza which followed. There are about 700,000 Jewish settlers who live in some 140 settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, areas occupied by Israel since the 1967 Middle East war and claimed by Palestinians for a future state. The settlements are considered illegal by most of the international community, though Israel disputes this. However, Mr Zomlot condemned a government bill banning public bodies from boycotting economic activity with Israel or Israeli settlements. The bill passed its third and final reading in the House of Commons last Wednesday and will now go to the House of Lords. "This is the inconsistency," Mr Zomlot said at a news conference in London. "Where are you [the UK] exactly? Do you consider Israel's occupation of the 1967 borders to be a military occupation and colonisation? "There is such inconsistency in the UK policy that I... no longer understand if you ask me "What is the UK policy vis-a-vis Palestine?" I don't know. Inconsistent, contradictory." Mr Zomlot, who is the Head of the Palestinian Mission to the UK, also rebuked Prime Minister Sunak for rejecting South Africa's case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) accusing Israel of genocide. Heavy emotion at ICJ hearing The ICJ began hearing the case at the end of last week. A spokesperson for the prime minister said Mr Sunak believed the allegation was "completely unjustified and wrong." "The UK government stands by Israel's clear right to defend itself within the framework of international law," the spokesperson said. The UK's opposition to South Africa's genocide allegation, said Mr Zomlot, was "a self-appointment as international judges, it's intervention and interference in the international judicial system". The UK, he said, was guilty of "double standards" and "hypocrisy" in its approach to Israel and international law. The envoy accused Israel of an "unprecedented manmade humanitarian disaster" in Gaza, and called on the international community to demand a ceasefire. "Nothing comes before an immediate ceasefire," he said. "This remains our top, top priority." About 24,000 people have been killed in Israel's bombardment of Gaza - most of them women and children - since 7 October, according to Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry. Israel launched its war with the declared aim of destroying Hamas after the group killed 1,300 people, mostly civilians, and took some 240 others back to Gaza as hostages in its attack on Israel.

  11. Premier League chief executive Richard Masters says a date has been set for the hearing into Manchester City's alleged breaches of financial rules. But, speaking in front of MPs, Masters said he could not reveal the date. Everton, already appealing against a 10-point deduction for a previous charge, and Nottingham Forest were charged for breaching league profit and sustainability rules on Monday. Masters said he understood why both clubs' fans might be frustrated. "I can [understand] but they are very different charges," he told the Culture, Media and Sport (CMS) committee. "If any club, the current champions or otherwise, had been found in breach of the spending rules, they would be in exactly the same position as Everton or Nottingham Forest. "But the volume and character of the charges laid before Manchester City, which I obviously cannot talk about at all, are being heard in a completely different environment. "There is a date set for that proceeding. Unfortunately, I can't tell you when that is but it is progressing." Premier League champions City were charged with more than 100 breaches in February 2023 but are yet to face a hearing. Everton were handed a 10-point deduction in November, having been referred to an independent commission in March. Manchester City charged with breaking financial rules by Premier League Everton receive immediate 10-point deduction for financial rules breach Everton and Nottingham Forest charged with breaking financial rules City's charges related to a nine-year time frame from 2009. Since 2009, they have won the top flight seven times, but are facing potential relegation and having titles taken away if the case against them is proven. They were also charged with failing to co-operate since the Premier League launched its investigation in 2018. There have been reports the case will be heard at the end of this year, although this has not been confirmed by the Premier League and it seems unlikely there will be a verdict until 2025. 'We have a duty to the other 19 clubs' Everton and Nottingham Forest's referral to an Independent Commission is for alleged breaches during the three-year period ending 2022-23. These cases must be heard by 8 April. Before that, there will be a hearing for Everton's appeal against the first alleged breach which relates to the previous year. Masters was asked if this was merely an attempt by the Premier League to prove it can operate without a football regulator, something that the government plans to appoint. "No. We take our rule book very seriously," he responded. "It is a handshake between all 20 clubs. Clubs look each other in the eye and say we will comply with these rules. They expect the board, if clubs don't comply with those rules, to take action. "Everton are a very important member of the Premier League, an ever present. But we also have to think about the other 19 clubs and their fanbases in the decisions that we make. "The charges we made in March 2023, for the first Everton case, were eventually heard in October. We did make a plea at the time to hear the first case before the end of the season but Everton argued against that and the commission agreed with them. "Nobody likes enforcing these financial rules. They were brought in in 2013-14 with the specific purpose of ensuring that unsustainable spending couldn't go too far and a wrapper was put around how much clubs could invest in pursuit of their aims. It is the first time we have laid a charge in this way." MP fears Reading owner is trying to 'fold' club Football League chair Rick Parry sat alongside Masters in front of the panel. One MP, Damian Green, is a Reading fan and was at Saturday's game against Port Vale which was abandoned after fans invaded the pitch to protest against owner Dai Yongge. Green outlined the doomsday scenario many supporters are scared of becoming reality. "The word on the street is that he now doesn't want to sell and is just asset stripping and is doing it quite visibly with players," Green said. "He is willing to sell any player of any value for what little he can get and wants to be left with the training ground as a piece of property having folded the club. "He was approved to be an owner and is someone who in two different countries has killed off two football clubs already. It seems to me pretty extraordinary that he was ever allowed into the English game in those circumstances." Parry said the EFL would be meeting Reading fans on Tuesday but outlined the complexity of the situation. "We share the fans' concerns absolutely," he said. "We are trying to take action against Dai Yongge. Just before Christmas, we took action against the owner in an attempt to get the owner disqualified. "It failed on that occasion. They fined him instead which, frankly, is no use at all. If he won't put money into the club he won't pay the fines. "Reading sold the stadium and training ground. It is absurd that was allowed to happen. Fortunately, that loophole has been closed. "What normally happens in this situation is that clubs go into administration. At least then there is a process. It happened with Derby and Wigan. "It is pretty extraordinary for an owner to effectively sit there and do nothing. That is a new one. We haven't seen that before. It is a fresh challenge and we don't have an instant solution." FA Cup replays and two-legged EFL Cup semis won't just be scrapped. Parry said issues around the domestic calendar needed addressing as a matter or urgency. BBC Sport has previously reported FA Cup replays from round three onwards and two-legged EFL Cup semi-finals will be ditched to create space for more European matches. However, Parry said that with no deal yet on an increased funding package with the Premier League, who want to impose regulation around what Championship clubs can spend and are yet to agree where the proposed funding of around £900m will come from, the changes won't happen. "As part of the total system, part of a new deal, we are prepared to take on board considerably less revenue to our clubs from the loss of FA Cup replays and from the second leg of the Carabao [Cup]. "We are absolutely not prepared to concede those on the basis that there is no deal. The 14 clubs who are the non-permanent members of the Premier League have been in there for an average of 13 years each. "The 14 clubs in the EFL who had the longest tenure in the Premier League also had an average of 13 years in the Premier League. This season those 14 clubs in the Premier League will receive £1.8bn between them, the 14 in EFL will receive less than £90m, that is less than five percent. "That is the chasm we are trying to bridge." No Saturday 3pm slot for WSL As part of the calendar solutions, it has been suggested Women's Super League games could be televised at 15:00 GMT on a Saturday, which remains a blackout period. This, it is argued, will create space for the women's game to showcase itself. Masters said the change was unlikely to be practical because of the legalities around Uefa's 'Article 48', which allows the blackout to be in force. "You can't divide Article 48 for different bits of the game," he said. "If Article 48 didn't exist, everything could be televised. It is very difficult to find a slot where no men's football exists. The answer is not obvious." SOURCE
