0:00.0	In the Premier League, everyone pushes their hardest to win. And now it's your turn. With their EPL fantasy challenge, Coca-Cola are giving you a chance to win big by beating the best. All you have to do is build a team based on rules set by an icon. And to help you on your way, I've got a tip to help you build your team. Make sure you keep an eye on fixtures. Who are the players up against next? Sometimes it's not about form.
0:21.7	Like there are some players that, for whatever reason, always play well against certain teams.
0:27.0	To do your research. To get involved in the EPL Fantasy Challenge, all you've got to do is grab
0:31.8	a Coke and scan the code on the pack. Just by playing, you get a chance to win Coke swag or
0:36.6	vouchers. But if you beat the icon who

1:41.6	It just means that the grand jury was presented with evidence of alleged
1:46.3	crimes and the grand jury felt that there were sufficient grounds to charge the defendant with
1:52.2	those crimes. Before we get into the allegations in the indictment, I just want to talk a little bit
1:57.9	about John Bolton himself to kind of paint the full picture
2:01.2	and sort of, I mean, this all goes into what he is accused of doing, right? We have to talk about
