5:02 am
for the politicians are getting their heads together and it will be tougher? >> he cannot wait it out. time is not on his side. moreonger he waits, the opportunity for a replacement, additional compromise candidate. christine lagarde said it would not be her. when you hear from the british and they are leaving this anti-juncker charge, not so subtly, they really want to have a female and that top job. for them to sing the younger tendency. you look at the opposition. sweden and holland are opposed. opposed.o the question in all of this is how firm and strong is angela merkel's support or issue willing to trade it away and give david cameron a political so cameron can go back to voters is that i am influencing things and it is better for us to stay in eu and
5:03 am
rewrite some of the trees and have better autonomy. at the looks like -- the longer it goes on, the harder it is for juncker to make his case he is the de facto candidate. >> the british press has been hounding for the tabloid up dirt. trying to dig what is going on here? >> the british newspaper discovery juncker's father in 1941 had joined the german army. younger and his people are responding that this is disgusting. you're seeing younger -- you are junker turn it into a test. they are pretty opposed to. it escalate our the weekend. british tabloid is 6/13 into something, it is hard to get out of their mouth. intonk their teeth
5:04 am
something, it is hard to get it out of their mouth. >> ok. let's move on. thank you very much. hans nichols joining us from berlin. chris the first pizza -- the first peace talks -- >> the first peace talks began. for asecond down cease-fire. ryan chilcote has the details. as you cranes president wants peace order and and into the bios by the end of the week. -- ukraine's president wants a piece order by the end of the week. i put in the question, what are the odds we will see a cease-fire? have a listen to part of our exchange. >> you had this meeting with poroshenko. president obama. how likely is a cease-fire in the ukraine and what can you and what will you do to achieve a cease-fire? and how quickly do you think a
5:05 am
cease-fire can be achieved? >> i think it can be done immediately. they need to stop the operations. it is the only way to crater conditions to start real negotiations. tocreate real conditions start real negotiations. no one has said anything to them are propose anything concrete. people do not know how they will live and under what conditions and what the parameters of the new constitution will be. there is no conversation about that. there have been arguments and debates between presidential candidates but no one invited a representative from the south east.
5:06 am
that situation needs to be radically changed. the presidential elections a ukraine is over and the fight is over. we need to work with people. odds that athe cease fire can be achieved in ukraine? >> i think that ukrainian leadership will and wisdom. it will show it's a good will and wisdom. have to stop the military operations. immediately i announced the cease-fire. themmediately i announced cease fire. no other way to grade the conditions for negotiations. >> you can be forgiven or the russian president could be forgiven to think i had as what the ukrainians need to do. i asked what he could do and what he is prepared to do.
5:07 am
you see but all of this on the leadership of ukraine central government. they need to do this and that. he did not say what he was prepared to do nor the separatist could or should do. is what the west would have liked to have heard. they would like him to say they shall put out their arms -- they should put down their arms and the army and have a cease fire. that's not what we heard. >> read between the lines are forming. we get to scissor that putin is pulling strings and have the ability. and having ability over these guys. what degree does he have the ability? >> of the european union, the west, the united states believe he has in florence. to jump intog that. he has some influence. they want to be part of russia. they say he is the man that can make it happen.
5:08 am
that is correct. so-called mercenaries and that came from russia. he has a little bit of influence. we have what analysts would say maintaining the but there he does not have any influence. at no point does he say they should put down their arms because no suggest he can bring it about. that is the big disconnect. he has to basically hang of these guys up to dry fighting in the east of the country. the only concrete move we saw out of the talks between him and merkel and poroshenko was that on saturday, he ordered the troops in russia, at least on paper, he ordered the border troops to seal the border and the ukrainians are trying to do the same thing. that would prevent foot traffic and new fighters and weapons. that could be a start. that is just in order. >> all right. thank you, ryan chilcote.
5:09 am
>> looking forward to the world cup, the biggest torpor in are expressing concerns over a new round of alice -- of allegations. backtt gotkine has gotten and he joins us. visa, big names and they are adding the pressure, a great pressure to the investigation here. >> very much so. or forget go away about as we get to the kickoff of the 2014 world cup or any hopes of brushing this under the carpet seems to be blown out by the allegations and the fact these corporate sponsors, big financial backers, the money, is now saying fifa you need to sort it out and have a proper investigation. fisank that is something
5:10 am
has no choice about. let's not forget what these allegations are. they started in "the sundays time" over a week ago suggesting that the most senior football ibes to getd paid br people to vote for them to host the world cup. the laces allegations that has millions of documents suggest he has a slush fund in order to get more votes and use the influence of the royals two broke a trade deal in order to get the votes for the 2022 world cup. the qataris are vehemently denying. -- heofficial capacity said he has nothing to respond about. so, that's what is going on.
5:11 am
the corporate sponsors think something needs to be done. we have heard from the likes of sony and coca-cola. they're all saying a proper investigation needs to take place. they said the -10 year around fifa is not good for football or fifa and its partners and that is a bit of an understatement. three days before kickoff. waybviously, it is a long off. are there talks that qatar could lose the world cup and what is next? >> what happens next is a focus willfa which they hope switch to the actual football taking place in brazil. we do not know if more allegations or revelations might come out in the next few days. a bit more explosive to coincide with the start of the world top. what did happen in terms of the investigation is where michael garcia, a former prosecutor, he
5:12 am
is due to send his report to fifa's ethics committee. it will decide if there is a case and if there is, what action ought to be taken? more allegations could emerge they could be more complaints from a sponsors. the key thing here is not of the big sponsors have broken ranks. , youare not saying, fifa are not doing the right and you are dragging your heels. many say fifa will carry out the investigation, but none came out and criticized fifa because they are waiting to see. and as transparent as they expect. >> our middle east editor. >> the transatlantic war of words. the $10 billion fine and awkward situation and to trade relation

why aerodynamics is the structure of the outside of material, the rob this. that determines the aerodynamics of the ball. -- the outside of the material the rough finesse. it may change directions as a goes through the air. what has been done is that by using the fingers on it, it increases. what we are looking at is where does that smoke leave the ball and at what point along the surface and the location changes suddenly, that is the speed at which teh ball goes. i think the basic message is that, -- [indiscernible] is more like at

5:39 am
doesn't not work like that? >> a few months ago, it did look like that. -- we reachedt out to tesla and said we have the infrastructure. we will show you what it is all about in britain and help you build them. more recently, that turned sour when tesla tried to go behind us and take those from us. the tesla supercharger network will compete with network?y's there are 10,000 electric cars already on the road in britain. three different charging standards and all of our network will power all of those 14 models from five manufacturers. works forcharger only tesla. we are happy to accommodate
5:40 am
them. >> and terms of getting to critical mass, how far away are we? are we entering a different phase where it will become competitive and that is why tesla has done what it has done? or do you think we are still a ways away from getting to cripple mass and therefore we shouldn't be acting like this? your sense of where we are in the evolution of this charging network. -- ithink deaths left think tesla deftly should be acting like this because we all want the same thing. manufacturersnese have in making them for a couple of years. there are 14 different models on the road in britain. they are still only 10,000 cars. but one of the big areas is the oftenng infrastructure, referred to as range anxiety. so we can see the electric highway four years ago in the ideas, if you have an electric car of any make, you can drive

5:42 am
it is a big battery that you don't use often or buy a car that is more appropriate for normal use. then you have these hardware's, which i think are really fantastic, the hybrid where the goes 01 speed and powers. >> obviously, you're competing with tesla on your electric highway versus their supercharger network. give us your thoughts on the car itself. you had a 750,000 pound electric vehicle, very cool looking. i believe it is called the nemesis. what do you think of the model s? could this really be a mainstream car? >> at that price, it can't be. it is a top-end car. it forms fantastically. i've -- i love the way it digitally enables. i think it's fantastic. looks wise, it is disappointing. it could have -- it looks more
5:43 am
like a slightly old-fashioned car. but it is a supercar. it does change the game and i think it will result in other manufacturers changing what they do. >> dale, a pleasure to have you on the program. up, president putin breaks his silence, why ukraine's leadership will show its goodwill and wisdom. road to rio, the teams have arrived in the fans are on their way. the world is ready for brazil 2014. but is brazil ready for the world? more on that next.

5:47 am
conditions to start real negotiations. so far, no one has said anything to them. no one has proposed anything at all concrete. and people need to know how they are going to live, under what conditions in the parameters of the new constitution. there is no conversation about that. there have been arguments and debates in the frames of around cables between presidential candidates, but no one invited any representative from the southeast. that situation needs to be radically changed. the presidential elections ukraine is over. the fight is over. we need to move to substantive order to work with people. >> what are the odds that a
5:48 am
cease-fire can be achieved in ukraine? i think the ukrainian leadership will show its goodwill and wisdom. they have to immediately stop the military operation. immediately announce a cease-fire. there is no other way to create the conditions for negotiations. >> ryan joins us now. obviously, a lot of analysts are saying that went in bang is -- that putin is controlling things on the ground. do anything -- i specifically asked him what he would or could do to support the peace talks and bring about a cease-fire. and if you pay attention to what he said, it is all about what
5:49 am
the ukraine central government will do. this is exactly the kind of answer the u.s. or the european union and certainly the ukrainians will really like because he is saying you've got to do all this and nothing about what he's prepared to do. >> what did he say in the rest of the press conference? >> it was interesting because we were the only foreign news organization. it was all a kremlin pool. it was mostly about domestic stuff interestingly. isthis isn't featuring -- it in the news cycle but not the new cycle. >> within russia. that's right. they are more interested in the fact that he met leaders but he did not provide a whole lot of information. the actual story was that additional chair raising by the gas pump was the most important thing asked at that press conference. >> his popularity ratings are surging. stay tuned. we will be back with more in

5:54 am
stadiums, the uncertainty of where is it we will be able to go or not go. it's an uphill battle for all of us that have a responsibility for protecting these folks. >> the world cup is the biggest sporting event on the planet. so why isn't brazil ready? >> we are incompetent. everybody knows that. why should we have the world cup? but the countries now in a very deep situation. >> brazil spent 3.6 billion dolls to build and remodel cities. in 12 only three were delivered on time. the new terminal at são paulo's overcrowded airport will not be completed until after the world cup is over. and this airport innovation is
5:55 am
months behind schedule. even rio among brazil's tourism mecca, did little to fix the problems that lead to epic traffic jams. way up north in the amazon, there is a city closer to being ready for the flood of soccer fans, manaus, a jungle boomtown. here we are three weeks before the beginning of the world cup. how much work do you have left? manaus will hold one of the biggest matches of the world cup, england versus italy, on june 14. >> everybody knows it is very important for us. a poor city. we need to prove that we are manage great events.
5:56 am
that is what is really at stake, not whether they will come for the world cup, but whether they will come back. football fever is going to be there. it is going to be very hot, especially for that england-italy game. somebody said that the chances making a file went to 2%. i think those numbers are erroneous. as we had to coverage of the world cup. -- the have the former football team, an inverse relationship between the english economy and the prospects of the football team.
