outlets celebrated the big deal as it was described in one of the leading newspapers. while boots sat down with the country's international broadcaster place 1st interview. since his release was up, which it was believed that didn't finish yourself in 1990 when the soviet union begin to disintegrate. and the fact that we are now trying to live and not depend on any one to be a truly independent power. this of course is such choking news for them. they believe that they can destroy us again and divide russia. president vladimir putin welcomed boots release, saying he'd be open to similar deals with the united states. was mostly there. are other exchange as possible. yes, everything is possible. this is the result of negotiation that and the search for compromises in this case compromises were found. we do not refuse to continue this work in the future. once a military translator, during the soviet era booth became

a war profiteer after the collapse of the union is area off of the nation as an alms de la, extended from parts of africa, what he was base to several areas of the war. he was arrested in thailand in 2008 while negotiating an alms deed with us agents posing as colombian fox, i bows, most is that it is of route as a symbolic achievement. in the times the president got him. it would want to emphasize is public, but he cares for his nation. even those robbie guarded as hopeless cases in prison and that he would please any option. it's unlikely brutal as you have any public role anytime soon. but some believe his network could be used by moscow to add pressure on the us and its allies in a time of war. i would agree that they really wanted him. they've been pressing for his release or exchange for the past 10 year census conviction. i mean,

it's hard to believe that he didn't have extensive ties where the russian national security community, i mean, he was operating one, the largest fleets of military aircraft, transporting helicopters and, and are really heavy weapons from africa, africa, latin america, asian officials, he say, boots relieves when to me, that improvement in relations with washington, what it shows the 2 nations can still keep the lines of communication open, even if they're in direct shooting at each other. in ukraine, the actual jazeera, more school, please have entered a hostage situation in a shopping mall in the german city of dresden, the mall. and the nearby christmas market had been closed off to the public. a 40 year old who was held by police has died from injury sustained while hostages were being freed. belmont is suspected of killing his mother, whose body was found in another part of the city. hundreds of chinese is have

tournament surprise team are welcome to keep their fairytale going. if they're up against port god al, to mama stadium. it's a huge old european class in england. there's defending champions, cronsa the teams have never met enough out state off a major for him and and the life of penalty drama. america in as advised to fight another day, but favors brazil are heading home. mm jeremy. now in the studio for our football analysts, one are ongoing family, jemma, solaire excuse. we'll get their thoughts in just a moment. but 1st, let's get an update from the quote, the final that's on the way morocco, the last our country, an african nation. less that this well topic taking on

a post. you go out on a stadium. it's about half an hour day and the game remains evenly poised. nailed nail at this date as bringing wine and gemma right now. first of all, to one can ma local, continue their giant killing their well right now they're, they're looking pretty solid in doing so it's been their transition gain that's kind of been able to neutralize what portugal have been looking to do all be in portugal. have been able to, to create some opportunities that create a bit of discomfort in front of just the bonus golf jenna. earlier we were talking to make up and you told me that ronaldo was bent. do you think it's a good idea for us? i think it was the only idea and gotten salary. i must as fact that the last game is probably the best for 4 months of birth to a girl in the last 10 years. and he did everything right. natalie, how can assist but that the 49 in the affordable line day old work. great. so i

didn't know. i don't think fernando sanders has another choice that could this youngster abdel, actually he's got previous experience because he has substituted the darwin noon yet so well. him been feeling so he used to have this pressure did so well and of course i, i, he was dead. he needed to be there in the side of the day when morocco have added that way to the, our role to andy african nation. do you think they will do it for i think they have a possibility to put the one the one little key that they needed. again, spain they didn't have the forwards weren't finishing well enough. of course they were able to win against pain and penalties. but in order for them to truly take that next step forward, they have to have those forwards really working very well in front of go and take advantage of the opportunities that were given to them for it by any of our attackers. do you think? how do you think it's going to go? hopefully not another penalty issue. uh huh. oh, i wish i had that answer. i thought about i pondered it

a lot. you really would hope to see morocco, advanced portugal, have all the weapons to be able to make it happen. i think there's a possibility, but there has to be a better game than how they played against faith. can they do that? that is the big question. what our staff going into this much? so what, so a nail nail in that game? it's an all european heavy way battle in the law of the woke up court. the final defending champion, france against the semi finally, from a 4 years ago england, samantha johnson have more. is it possible to lose? well, the fans opponent in senegal, certainly think it is. their teams fell to france and england, and yet they left the stadiums with smiles on their faces. i am samantha johnson, this is wealth couple. no one ever get me wrong when england take on france at the supporters of the teams they beach will dream of what it has been with a happy with what was poland played well against france. robert lem,

dusky penalty at the very end of the game, allowed him to leave with honor, he's 34 at who knows if you'll play at another walt crop proponents. supporters understand how tough it is to contain killian and bow pay is now scored had golden cattle and they only have admiration for a live. you should root, he scored, he's in go for france against them. terry, on res recorders, frances top score has been broken. senegal spans continued singing and drumming long after some england fans had got up and left certainly long. it was clear that team had been beaten, but again, senegal, africa's champions had done everything vacant. they missed keep plays through injury like skippers sergeant manet and midfielder anchor chick who created england to to do without one of their stars brought him sterling, flew back to the u. k after burglars broke into his oh, who'd be worried about his family? but delighted to see his teammates goals because soccer has now wrapped up 3 goals

in cattle, but the contributions of harry kane and jordan henderson, me 8 england players have now sought enlist ornaments. that's a total, even france and greece and a total that the amazing generous fans or colon and seneca respect. ah, the manager guy southgate doesn't get the credit he deserves. it says he's rival, boss of southgate has led his country to world cup semi final and european championship final. and his last 2 big storm guides. he can go i like garret very much. we've met on a number of occasions. we've talked about a number of things. if i understand correctly, not everyone appreciate some so much in his own country. no, because he wasn't a good footballer himself. he had a long and distinguished career and he's also a very good coach. he's enabled england to get some very good results over the years, and i like him very much. well, that's bringing a one and a jama jam. i'm going to shout the question. yeah. okay. so england and france,

it's margin more than just the sporting. it's something more. yes, the field it is at. not, not only i speaking about football, this is your country. so neighborhood a conference with so many history conflicts a spicy stories. and as it were talked about football, especially the, the players of the 2 squads they face each other all the time in the champions league. so it is a lot of history. if we speak about that woke up all the main jordan, i meant they haven't seen been facing each other in the final no co state just but it would talk about that. the glass has been doing this still. france. ha ha ha. derrick bet their records. they have only been defeated guns in the last 8 encounters and voting on. this will be the toughest game of got into told them. and i have the feeling son, i, because i think days out of that to morally well, a squad that who wins this game might window all cups one can buy,

pay now sport, 5 goals in this form. it's how can south gate and he's team stop him. i don't know if it's so much focusing on him solely because you have to have a check list of players that you have to be able to neutralize for space for, excuse me, for france, in order for them to not be effective. amber is one of them, of course what, what if you start focusing on him too much and leave or leave him? you who the up top. what if you end up having greets one, becoming that catalyst? what about them believe so you for you. if you start focusing solely on him, i think that could be a very, very complicated, almost a suicide mission to a certain extent, from a defensive standpoint. give. of course nobody was able to successfully defended the walk up the since 1962. do you think frank, does that seem to break down? yes, i think they can do it far as because that they already called this guy. now, of course, that we have the witnesses in the last world. gobs with germany,

with the spain. they are strong team. they had to face a lot of huge setbacks in talking about injurious. been say, mind going full can face so much, but like, i think that brought them to where do they have the best far to forward in that tournament. so, and they have the experience. so i think, yeah they, they can be the ones to do that again. okay guys, can i get your prediction for this one friends to know france, france. juno, jemma. ah, extra time, sorry guy. though, jemma. i feel that extra time it will be 3 dual forefront. do you have a little bit more during that i was, i said, no penalty is not reynold. there's an extra time or earlier we spoke to friend to football, right, to raphael, jacoby know who has been impressed with how france has pope to with so many high profile injuries during this woke up the fact that a little plays have stepped up over the course of the told him and it shows that

there is that so well as well. tom, in the french team which can step up when needed, even with the lack of veterans like all of the like and go on, take it what they keep for the 2018 when the fact that they have stepped up now. so there's like some financial in any, in whitfield, he's been a reputation that likes to defend the title because he's really stepped up alongside revolver on sir. it's been a very, it's, it's been interesting. told him, in the sense that all of these plays have so broken up to the international scene and showing that they are capable of taking on taking on these roles and reading from 2 to another. another will come up with so that there is, there is an increasing amount of confidence even if in will be that of his test. if ever qualified for a well couplet for years, most of the world footballs that have come from north east pakistan. the city of

tay, i'll call it the and make the about 2 thirds of them including either the official, both or cut out 2022, some a bunch of it has more. ah, it's called aggressive and arabic. word meaning the journey, but not many people know the journey for most of these goals begins in pakistan. it's mattress, greg, proud ness and player for us. that since last so many hours, people always select what ball made in pakistan. and specifically in the city of shall go to play that in the word car and the hell started getting different technologies, including the thermal bonded technology and they are producing at the moment, up more work bogs played in work up as well as in certainly all over the word,

more than 70 percent of worlds footballs are made in sal codes. $1000.00 plus factories and inflatable rubber. bladder is created, inflated, checked, and tested to make the bolts cor, ah, workers carefully attach each panel before the final product is heat field into shape. ah, the official 2020 too much ball is equipped with the motion sensor inside the track to please location the moment the ball is kicked. combined with technology at the stadium, the video assistant referee are v are fixed the movement and positioning of the ball instantaneously. the ball is made with recyclable and water based inks and blues. the 20 panels molded together have dimple like features to make the most aerodynamic ball for any world cup. 5 and a half 1000000 umbrella balls were part of the 43000000 footfalls manufactured in sales. what last year, quarter of sal court are the truly ambassador of the pakistan around the globe. we

have a wide range of product line, which is from surgical industry. to jim we are to sports fear about that it is a from said larry to music instrument. this city ups shall court, which is having only a small population of 600000 people. we are contributing more than $3500000000.00 every year into the national economy. despite their manufacturing powers, pakistan has never qualified for the world cup. for many people in pakistan, the ball depicts did representation in the world cup. and some of these young players are hopeful that one day it is going to be them representing park, his son in the football world cup final galveston made football's being used by c. so it's a great honor for us that the whole world will be playing with al foot bolts. never had a texas group. i feel really good because football is not very famous here, but now it's becoming popular in pakistan. gales are also playing now. and one girl

has even taken a retina or the journey to the world's highest peak up. or what is perhaps the best call made so far for the world's most popular sport trauma enjoy without a 0 croucher okay, just to give you a quick update on morocco, portugal america just scored juan gall. and i'm trying so hard here not to be emotional. but guys, what does this mean for me, for the arab nation, for the african nathan, if it stayed like i'm trying not to think that 47 more minutes of suffering bad last but so for what we're talking about just earlier, you see morocco having a really step up up top, that's the main key and that's when leslie was able to come through the the job.

now, do you think it's going to stay like this? we know i'm in the netherlands again to day maroka haven't gone. see any single goal yet. only one and he was a known goat. no one is able, discarded his theme. now, i think the players are going to start feeling a pressure that maybe they haven't so far. and they might be exhausted. they did the huge effort in that tire against spain. but, but, but being that the on that of dogs gives you that the point of extra energy at they have number 12 that in that said, your mother supporters out with them. so i thing regarding the birth of witnessing something historical and african site in the semifinals or let's hope so. let's go back to yesterday's at night. what a dramatic night argentina were pushed all the way by the netherlands. do you think they were? you know, they deserve to go through to serve yes. a for 2 reasons. up until the 83rd minute you could have said,

and i was actually talking to my director at that point saying argentina is play their best match in the woke up to night until they of course are the dutch under equalizing that you saw a lot of changes that, that skyler you made that maybe you question a little bit what you went into extra time in argentina, once again took over the match, coming also close to hitting the post a couple times. a couple of saves me by northward and of course of all that ends up going just white. so yes, they did the survey course. football doesn't work that way and it goes independently. but overall argentina did deserve it. if you look at the grand scheme of things, jenna croatia, i mean they ended the wilka party from brazil and their fans here and cut off. but they only 11 game in 90 minutes. do you think they should change their play in order to win that semi final natalie? if something works, don't go today, they out of the kings of the extra time. i mean, the last knockout stage is that last 9 games. in the knockouts they just, 8 of them were in extra time and they have had succeed, they were run her out, one was waiting for them in the final, in russia, no one was waiting for them in the semifinal in guitar. so if there is

a strong point, they have a lot of physicality and mental strength. they have the cell is monday about call reach that goal key, but he's amazing. they call the wall of croatia. exactly. so i mean it's going good for them so, so, so, so far so i think they have to do with what the, what it is for them. would you one, gina, argentina know that they have to vanquish yet another demon. they have to go and vanquish a team that 4 years ago, just absolutely destroyed them over and even in growth. so if you start looking at it from the origin time perspective, they know that if it goes independently, they're facing a team that every time big gone to penalties, they've never lost. so that's another thing that they're going to have to look at. messy playing are in good form, but it again, it's going to come down to the mid build and the way they finish matches that is going to be very key for them because we thought, i guess australia, we definitely saw it against the dutch. they're going to have to see how to close out matches and finish wall. do you think they're going to go all the way everyone

is expecting this for a messy. everyone wants this a full, messy. he's last walk up. can be absolutely. can they when it absolutely, but they're, i mean that there's still some opposition they're going to have to overcome, but they do have all that when it takes to be able to win it. do you think he will become a national here once he's? i mean for art and tina, no matter how many trophies you win the championship for them, the walk up is the main thing he's always been compared to diego mater don't or do you think if he wins this, he will be the national hero. he already is he already he already is. eat you. you talked to origin time hearing in thought are you talked to him in argentine as well? they already see him as the country's greatest representative over the past few years. so it's hard to say to what level, because at times you, you hear messy talk and he doesn't want to be the next move on. he wants to be a 1st massey and anything else that comes ya. q. that's nice and he doesn't seem so if it's a great great player or that great legend, he sees himself as a person that enjoys playing football jam. i'd love to hear your thoughts messy.

can he go? i mean, he lived in the shadow of mine although not all his life, not anymore because say he passed away. but he eventually managed that at country that glass ex absolutely unfair with him a won the hearts of the argentine and because he left. so he was 10 years when he left with her for 2 hours till owner, he never played in their argentina league they, they hardly understand that player that maybe he doesn't sing the anthem. maybe they don't really like with this 3 on. he got gentle young a character but to eventually they realised that he did everything right. he could have played with spain, he decided to, to play for argentina. and he does absolutely everything for his say countries. so yet the gold cup, i think it will end the debate because the debate is there, no other player has this been able to we that great to during more than 12 years. jemma one. thank you very much for that. let's just quickly update you on the opening my to of the day morocco taken on a portugal at alpha mama stadium. it's half a time in moral co have taken

has disappeared. now for most of many of the population of china, the problem is that whatever you do, what you will get a search of infections as you left actions ultimately. but if you don't live factions that controls and keep coping suppressed, you effectively looms ultimately in a year. or you'll lose fully benefits of having vaccinate your population. so it's a very difficult situation. the chinese have found themselves in chinese problem is changing things mad. golf leaders and saudi arabia fighting summit included discussions with the 6 members of the golf corporation cancelled and discussed the supply of oil and gas by arab states to china, as well as a free trade agreement. she also spoke about the support for palestine fund. i would like to reiterate china's term support for the establishment of an independent palestinian state based on the 967 borders with east jerusalem as its
