anthony joshua speaking earlier. now its expected to be a season like no other when the nba returns later. the defending champions — the la lakers — are one of the teams in action in the states as they face the la clippers. and, as the players get ready to go again in a few hours, our reporter nesta mcgregorjoins us to look ahead to the season. nesta, it's hard to believe tonight's games take place just 72 days since the lakers lifted that championship trophy at disney world. who are the favourites this time around? that 72 days you mentioned equates to the shortest pre—season in us professional sporting history. there has even been those that have questioned whether the players have adequate time to recover, especially those with bodies, let's say further into their careers. the la lakers, they start as favourites to retain their title, led by lebrunjames in what it hit bay his 18th season in the league. the main rivals, look no further than the other team in los angeles, the la clippers. they performed last s

to have you on the program your reaction to the news of this 13 in a half month prison sentence for joshua wall right i think the sentence was quite harsh but for the court system in hong kong this has become the new norm. obviously hospice and insists have been to should have been dished out to many other less than 9 protest is not under the law not that thousands of them thanks that on on the mainstream media and. yet. along with the beijing crackdown very recently sorry. along with the beijing crackdowns recently that i think this kind of high sentencing will only go on so that. these sentences were certainly meant to send a message how worried are you as a protester yourself about your own safety moving forward well i think as much as anyone else living in this new atmosphere don't come. protest is x. especially the ones that act it is smith and being freud fearing for their lives and this is hindering their movements a bit. but that said we still have to move on the especially for the comrades that have already been captured and put behind us not only people like joshua wall right asi
