>> so the answer is, yes, i intend to run. >> hillary clinton made her senate campaign official facing off with new york mayor rudy giuliani. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com time is running out for the trump administration as it faces a court-ordered deadline to reunite young children with their families. we'll tell you what some migrants say they've been asked to give up to see their children. plus, the thai navy says it will not rush the rescue of the youth football team trapped inside a cave. we're live in chongrai with the latest. and england breaks a world cup curse, advancing to the quarterfinals. we'll have the latest from london. hello and welcome to our viewers in the u.s. and all around the world. i'm ivan watson and this is "cnn newsroom."

all right. it's the very first hours of july 4th here in the united states. the holiday where the country celebrates its independence. the day is meant to underscore the bonds that tie the country together, but this year finds it divided about what is to be done with those who want to be americans but somehow, for some reason, went about it the wrong way. we begin with miguel marquez and the deadline president trump faces to reunite families separated as they crossed the border. >> reporter: the clock is ticking under order by a federal judge, the trump administration has until next tuesday to reunite children under 5 with their families, and all kids must be ereunited by july 26th. >> i just got off the phone with one of the mothers we represent. she has spoken to her son or her daughter once since they were separated in may.

and she has no news about imminent reunification or anything of that sort. >> that's what you kind of hear -- >> that's what we're hearing. none of our clients have reported they were notified they'll be reunited in the next few days. >> reporter: he represents nearly 400 separated families. he says families are reporting they are being pressured to drop their asylum claim and agree to faster deportation in exchange for quicker reunification with their children. >> they are being presented with the option of choosing removal and being reunited with their children as part of that process. >> reporter: in another setback for the president's zero tolerance immigration policy, a federal judge in washington ruled the trump administration cannot arbitrarily detain those seek asylum. in a sharp rebuke, the judge wrote this opinion does no more than hold the government accountable to its own policy which recently has been honored more in the breach than the

observance. all this as the pace of families seeking asylum in the u.s. continues as it has for years. this woman says her catholic charity helps 50 to 200 families every day. >> all of them have been processed by border patrol, and they determined that this family meets a family profile where they can continue their legal immigration process at another point in the united states. >> reporter: the department of homeland security has not responded to cnn requests for information about whether or not it is indeed asking parents to waive their asylum rights so they can get quicker reunification with their kids. also hhs, health and human services that's responsible for those children in detention, is now tweeting out some pictures trying to indicate that it's working hard to reunite them saying they're working around the clock. of course, it is the zero

tolerance policy the trump administration created the reason for hhs to have to work around the clock in the first place. miguel marquez, cnn, mcallen, texas. for more analysis, let's bring in a professor of international politics at london's city university. he joins us from our london bureau. great to see you. we're going to start talking about president trump and his immigration policy. his no-tolerance policy because that's created this real debate right now in the u.s. let's start by showing you one of his tweets here where he goes after and criticizes a democratic senator, senator ka maula harris why are you supporting the animals of ms-13. you must not know what i.c.e. really does. here's a tloink help you out. i.c.e. referring to the immigration and customs enforcement agency. ms-13, this gang that the trump

administration says is a real threat here in the u.s. and then i'd like to play a little bit of sound of president trump also talking about immigration. take a listen. >> like in a war, you're liberating a town or an area. and i.c.e. goes in there and they go in there and sometimes they have to go in swinging. they don't mind. they're tough. then i hear democrats saying, we want to abandon i.c.e. we want to abandon. we're not abandoning i.c.e. >> this long preamble is president trump seems to be using the politics of fear. he talks about infestation of illegal immigrants in american cities. liberating cities with the help of i.c.e. and now some democrats are talking about trying to dismantle this agency. do you think they play into president trump's hands when they talk about trying to remove

a law enforcement agency? >> well, to some extent, but actually on the other hand, if you look at the degree of public approval, of legal immigration, levels of public sympathy who are rising about undocumented immigrants and the kind of general view that immigration ought to be either kept the same or increased among the majority of the population. and then look at some of the things ice has done and the separation policy that you've covered that i think they're not playing into -- the democrats not really playing into president trump's hands. i think overall by asking for or demanding abolition of i.c.e., they're going for the symbolic representative agency of this sort of get-tough zero tolerance policy. and that is often the very stuff of party politics as well is to kind of look at the very agency which is doing most of the work at the moment as a way of dealing with the policy overall.

whether that will necessarily come about or resolve the problem is a separate question, i think. >> the surveys, the polls show that a majority of republicans stand by president trump's immigration policy. and we just saw over the course of the last weekend, you know, nationwide coordinated protests against the separation of families. so it just -- this looks like yet another issue here in the u.s. where the political spectrum is divided and there seems to be very little common ground. >> well, i'm not sure i'd agree with that, actually, because i think overall, president trump is laying out a particular kind of political message for november. and what he's trying to say is that the united states is under attack from practically every, you know, friend or enemy or whatever, including these undocumented immigrants and so on. what he's trying to say is that he stands to defend america, create this fortress of security

and order and so on and he's trying to paint anybody else, particularly the democrats, his opposition, as the friends of all of these. they're the friends of gangsters, the friend of every part of america's and so on. this is not quite reflective of official democratic party policy. broadly speaking, they are following president trump further to the right and are on every occasion possible taking the opportunity to pretty much dampen down opposition and supporting so-called secure borders. so when that red hen restaurant controversy broke, for example, they were very critical of any democrat like maxine waters who spoke up and said that was a good thing. this is not incivility but a protest against this zero tolerance policy which the trump administration is pursuing. >> you're referring to demonstrators who have accosted members of president trump's cabinet when they're out going to dinner or what have you to

protest the policies there. certainly there is a lot of outrage and emotions are quite high right now. and at the crux of it is the fact that you still have thousands of children who have yet to be reunited with their families, despite court orders to that effect and president trump's only executive order which calls for an end of the separation of these families. and it doesn't seem like that's moving forward, the reunification. >> i think they're going to drag their feet. the trauma that these children are suffering, those families are suffering appears to have very little with the trump administration. there are republican voters over the age of 50, 40% of them are actually opposed to that child separation policy. a large proportion of u.s. public opinion believes that's a violation of human rights. the u.n. agencies have declared it as possibly a form of torture as well.

global standing, standing within the united states, i think president trump is trying to draw the kind of boundaries of a major war on the democratic party and others. and he's trying to differentiate himself as a defender of the united states. and i think, however, he's alienating more and more those that are independent and leaning towards independent voters. and i think this could have an interesting effect on the november midterm elections. >> i'd like to ask you to stand by. we'll come back to you in a bit. first, we're going to go to a different story because the july 4th holiday, it also finds a group of u.s. lawmakers dealing directly with a country that's casting a shadow over american democracy. but there seems to be some warmer dialogue coming from that country, russia. the group of lawmakers is in moscow ahead of the planned meeting between vladimir putin and donald trump. russian foreign minister sergey lavrov told them he homes their visit will help restore

relations between their two legislators. that's according to reuters citing interfax. it's a contrast to monday's statement from the kremlin spokesman who said it was too early to speak of a thaw in u.s./russia relations. and the latest findings out of the u.s. senate intelligence committee isn't likely to change that. it's released a report that says it sees no reason to dispute the intelligence community's conclusion of russian involvement in the u.s. election. it goes on to say that president vladimir putin sought to boost mr. trump's election chances and was trying to discredit his rival hillary clinton. now cnn's matthew chance is in the russian capital as these crucial meetings are taking place. matthew, good to see you. congressional delegations, codels as they're often referred to of u.s. lawmakers touring the world is not unusual. what's different about this visit to moscow?

>> well, you're right. it's not unusual for congressional delegations to tour the world but in recent years it's been unusual for them to visit russia. it's been several years since such a high level congressional delegation came to russia. and that's being seen in this country as a good sign in terms of the future of the bilateral relationship. it's a mark of just how shaky that relationship has been. there hasn't been high level lawmaker visits in this way for several years. but with the visit of john bolton, the u.s. national security adviser last week and now this congressional visit this week and, of course, looking ahead to the summit between vladimir putin, the russian president, and u.s. president donald trump in helsinki in, what is it, a week and a half from now. there's a sense in moscow that the tide has started to turn and perhaps there is that long-awaited promise of a better relationship between these two countries starting to happen.

that's at least, i think, the start -- the glimmering of hope that's being felt among some circles inside russia. >> which is kind of striking when you look at this senate select committee on intelligence which just published this report saying it agrees with the conclusions the cia, the fbi, the nsa came to in january of 2017. that it was vladimir putin who ordered the influence campaign in favor of president trump in the november 2016 election. and that the efforts to kind of meddle in u.s. society have only increased as the committee has been at work. and yet you've got a top trump official who was recently -- you just saw him at a press conference there. so what does this look like to you from the perspective of the trump administration and the republican party. are they trying to lead up to something, aside from the summit? >> well, first of all, i think it's really interesting, and you

asked me initially what was unusual about this congressional visit. one of the most striking features of it is it's not bipartisan. it's republican senators only, traditionally, of course, you'd have senators from the republican and democrat party. that factor has not gone unnoticed by the russians. they've basically said, look, it's not surprising there were no democrats involved because they're so critical of russia effectively to pair phrase what one russian official said earlier. that's another important feature. clearly the ground work is being laid by the republican party for their president, donald trump, the u.s. president, to sit down with vladimir putin in a week and a half from now in 12 days from now in helsinki and try and work out some kind of way which they can move this relationship forward and perhaps find some kind of deal which they can both agree to. >> all right. i'm sure you'll be watching this as it moves forward. good to talk to you, matthew.

live from moscow. so i'm going to bring in indijit parma again to follow up on this. and also, i'd like to just show you a tweet that president trump recently sent amid the allegations of meddling in the u.s. election. he wrote, quote, russia continues to say they had nothing to do with meddling in our election. contrast that with the u.s. senate select committee on intelligence and what they concluded. quote, the committee's investigation has exposed a far more extensive russian effort to manipulate social media outlets to sow discord and to interfere in the 2016 election and american society. it goes on to say, quote, the committee concurs with intelligence and open source assessments this influence campaign was approved by president putin. this is a real sticking point at

the heart of the relationship between presidents trump and president putin but it also seems to be something that president trump is willing to overlook. your thoughts? >> yeah, i think this is a fascinating period of american history and politics. and it strikes me that there are many, many controversial aspects of the whole issue about meddling and so-called collusion between the jump campaign and russia. i think there's a lot of murky business going on there as well. but in regard to this reaching out to russia by the trump administration, it's something which, if you like, was on the cards during the campaign as well, especially with his comments about nato. and there seems to be a genuine disagreement within the american kind of foreign policy elite itself as to the big geopolitical challenges that the united states faces on the global stage. and i think the trump administration and the most of the republicans behind him at

this time seem to think that china is the bigger threat and the more immediate threat in a variety of ways as contrasted with russia. and i think the kind of ramping up of the rhetoric and the trade dispute with china tells us that that is the case and the reluctant to apply sanctions to russia overall has also been the case. so i think there's a kind of disagreement within and there are these charges about collusion and meddle chicaing w related to that overall disagreement. president trump has said he's standing up for the united states. he's going to be more unilateral. more nationalist, america first. that's upsetting his european allies and nato allies as well. so this planning of the putin summit coming just before the nato meetings next week and the visit to britain as well, i think it's all to show that the united states will take its own positions on these big questions, and it doesn't really care too much about the -- what happens to the opposition at

home or allies abroad because in the end, i think he believes america has enough assets -- its market, the dollar -- to ride out any disputes with anybody, either at home or abroad. >> president trump frequently insists that nobody has been tougher on russia than he has as u.s. president. inderjeet, great to talk with you. professor from city university of london. thank you very much. in now a youth soccer team faces another night trapped underground in thailand. just ahead, new video of the 12 boys and their coach, as well as the options rescuers are weighing to get them out safely.

welcome back. 34 people have died after a ferry capsized off the coast of south sular waisee. the disaster spokesman says evacuation efforts are now complete. indonesian state media say a leak on board the ship is believed to be the cause of this deadly and dramatic accident.

military planners in thailand are weighing their options for how to get a youth soccer team and their coach out of a flooded cave. new video shows the boys with blankets telling their families they're in good health after a weekend and a half under ground. navy s.e.a.l.s are staying with the group practicing swimming and showing them how to use oxygen masks. authorities are considering bringing the boys out one at a time with two divers assigned to each boy. now for more on this dramatic rescue effort, anna coren joins me from northern thailand. great to see you, my friend. the conditions there look remote, muddy, very difficult just for staging this rescue, not to mention spelunking through muddy water to reach these children. i understand they're trying to string up telephone lines so they can talk to their parents? >> yeah, that's right.

they have established communication cables all the way to where the boys are. they were supposed to talk to their parents today. unfortunately, however, part of that cable got water damage. it gives you an idea as to how much water is in these caves. so they have to replace it. they're hoping to do that today so these 12 kids and their coach can, in fact, speak to their parents. we are now in day 11 of the saga. that's how long these kids have been trapped in this cave. you mentioned the navy s.e.a.l.s who are with them and they're doing an extraordinary job not only providing them with the food and medical treatment they need but also boosting their spirits. and we saw that incredible footage earlier today. they were smiling. they introduced themselves. they described themselves by their nicknames, and they said we are healthy, but you could also tell how gaunt they are. how thin, how much weight they

have lost. but i want to talk now to somebody who is helping provide the food that's nourishing these children. it's u.s. air force captain jessica tate. she joins us now. tell us, what are you guys doing to help feed these kids. >> in this thai-led rescue effort, it's the assistance portion. the kids have been identified. we're thrilled the children and the coach are alive. moving forward in this operation, the children need food supplies. one of the things coming here, we brought meals ready to eat. i'm sure most of our military audience members are quite familiar. they're high energy, long lasting, tightly packed food that you -- >> you have one here for us. >> i do, yes. >> show and tell. >> but this is what your soldiers out in the field eat. >> this is what we neat austere conditions. we had them for our guys but what's wonderful is there's, obviously, a need. and we were here to advise and

assist the thai government invited here, and it's wonderful that we're also able to support them with this supply effort to get those provisions to the children to help with their conditions. >> i assume in this food, it's packed with nutraenientnutrientt they need to rebuild their energy if they're going to do this rescue effort. >> military members eat them all the time in austere conditions. >> jessica, it's wonderful to be speaking to you and what is just an extraordinary story. and ivan, we should mention they are looking now, which they have all along, but there is now renewed interest of looking above the cave at air holes. and the reason i say that is one of the boys inside the cave actually heard a rooster. that's what he told the divers. initially they thought he was hallucinating. he said, no, i grew up on a farm. when i was doing live shots very early this morning at dawn, i heard roosters, too. there are roosters in this

jungle so that certainly gives hope that there are these air holes scattered around the cave. if they can access one, maybe that's another way they can get these kids out. >> anna, thank you for the update and insight from the u.s. air force from jessica tate. if they get those mres, i hope they get the ones with skittles in them. that should be a treat for the poor kids trapped underground. anna coren, thanks for the update. you and your team will be working very hard on this. keep us updated. president trump, he takes to twitter to celebrate progress in the north korean talks. but how much have relations with kim jong-un's regime really changed? we'll get the state department's take on that. ahh... summer is coming.

welcome back. i'm ivan watson. let's give you an update on our top stories this hour. 34 people have died after a ferry capsized off the coast of indonesia. you're looking at these frightening, dramatic images. 155 people survived. and the country's disaster spokesman says evacuation efforts are now complete. indonesian state media say a leak on board the ship is believed to be the cause of the accident. the youth football team trapped in a cave in thailand now have blankets, food and fresh water. new video shows the boys each saying his name and one thanking everyone for their support. authorities are trying to figure out the best way to get them out of the flooded cave. the embattled head of the u.s. environmental protection

agency urged president trump to fire the attorney general and offered to take the job himself. sources say scott pruitt met with president trump this spring when the president's frustration with jeff sessions' recusal from the russia investigation resurfaced. u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo, he is headed to north korea on thursday to continue talks on denuclearization. on twitter, president trump said the talks with north korea were going well. as proof of progress, he pointed out, quote, no rocket launches or nuclear testing in 8 months. so how much have things really changed under mr. trump? state department spokesperson heather nauert weighed in. >> many of you remember the 4th of july. many of you were contacted to have to return to work. i was in new york planning to go to fireworks with my family. had to hop on a flight to come back to washington because there was an icbm launch on the part

of north korea. if we look back to where we were one year ago, we're in a good position today and that's what the president was simply referring to. >> okay. for more on this i'm going to will ripley who is standing by live in beijing. good to see you, will. after the fanfare of the singapore summit, does mike pompeo, does he really need to bring something concrete back from this visit to pyongyang? >> he does, ivan. i think in many ways the credibility of the singapore summit and that agreement signed by president trump and the north korean leader kim jong-un, it really lies in what pompeo can deliver on his two-day trip to pyongyang. he gets in there thursday morning. he'll leave on saturday. and he has to try to convince the north koreans now to get specific. we know the americans are going to be asking for a full inventory of north korea's nuclear program. that means full transparency. how many warheads, where are the missile production facilities, nuclear enrichment facilities. keep in mind the united states has been north korea's enemy for

more than six decades. one of the most secretive nations on earth fop ask them to deliver that information and give a timetable for the rapid dismantlement of all of this program they've spent decades developing, it's a big ask by the united states. but the u.s. has said until those concrete steps are taken, other things won't happen like the lifting of economic sanctions, moving toward the normalization of relations, aid flowing into the country and whatnot. you've been to north korea, as have i and the north koreans always prioritize their government's survival over any economic benefit. they're not going to be quick to disarm themselves until they feel they're secure in their government and having kim jong-un remain their leader for the foreseeable future. >> president trump did promise some security guarantees but are you get anything signals from the north koreans about what they would want from mike pompeo during this visit? >> they've been pretty clear all along about what they expect

from the united states. they've said repeatedly through state media and discussions i've had, they want an end to a hostile part on the part of the united states. the suspension of joint military exercises was a big win and a big concession by president trump because those were things previous administrations had failed to do. so the -- what else is the united states willing to give? and the big question, what are the north koreans going to do in return? as of right now, yes, there hasn't been a missile test or nuclear test in eight months but satellite imagery shows it's business as usual at the yongbyon nuclear facility where they've just finished some upgrades to buildings there. these could have been projects already in the works but nonetheless, things that need to be addressed when secretary pompeo visits pyongyang. >> they don't suggest complete, verifiable, irreversible denuclearization, at least not yet. will ripley from beijing, live,

thanks. we'll move to southeast asia where najib razak now faces corruption charges. najib is accused of embezzling millions from a state investment fund he created. investigators allege some of that money was used to buy gold necklaces and bracelets for his wife. najib pleaded not get to the charges. the allegations against him played a major role when he was voted out of power in may after leading malaysia for nearly a decade. in the philippines, the hunt is on after not one but two mayors have been shot dead in broad daylight in less than two days. the latest victim was mayor fernando bote. he was in a car when a shooter opened fire from a motorcycle on tuesday. just a day before that, a sniper shot dead mayor antonio halili who was a strong supporter of president rodrigo duterte. halili was known for prayeding

drug suspects on the streets of his city. i spoke with him two years ago shortly after president duterte launched his controversial and very deadly war on drugs. a warning, what you're about to see has disturbing images right off the top. human rights groups are sounding the alarm about the growing body count and what that means for the rule of law. while some local government officials are worried about other new logistical problems. cells in the brand-new city jail built to hold 30 prisoners now holding more than 50. many of whom were recently arrested on drug charges. okay. for more on the assassinations i'm joined by john crispin, a southeast editor with the asian times and joins me via skype

from bangkok. the philippines has no shortage of deadly violence, certainly with the war on drugs. is this some kind of settling of scores? a sniper's bullet, that suggests military training. and then killing somebody from the back of a motorcycle, that's kind of the modus operandi of the people killing suspected drug dealers, right? >> i mean, the question here, obviously, is whether or not these were state-sponsored killings. you know, president rodrigo duterte has issued a list of 150 officials he claims are involved in the drug trade. of the five mayors who have been killed so far, at least three of them were on that list. and so the question, obviously, is this campaign moving, you know, away from suspected drug suspects and now targeting state officials? >> that's a pretty serious allegation or suggestion to

raise there. again, this is a country with its share of deadly violence and enormous amount of guns. there are no links that we've really seen, though, thus far between the two assassinations, are there? >> no, no direct links, but the question that we're asking as journalists and analysts is whether or not this campaign is really starting to spiral out of control. that, you know, beyond trying to suppress the illicit drug trade are we seeing political scores being settled. this campaign was launched very much to get tough on crime, to establish firmer rule of law. but it's starting to look now like impunity reigns and this is starting to spin out of control. >> in mayor halili's case, he was a tough on crime official. he, again, he had been parading about suspects who had not yet been convicted with signs around

their necks saying they were either robbers or drug dealers or things like that. but he was also stripped of his authority to run the police force in his town by the interior -- the department of interior in the philippines. and he had been placed on a narco list. so are there insinuations there could have been some corruption there? >> i think the president himself has come out. he's been quoted in media reports saying the media pretends to parade the drug suspects. he said i don't know who killed him but i said not to get involved in illegal drugs. you get mixed signals from the top, but, obviously, this campaign is entering very dangerous territory when mayor level officials are being gunned down in mysterious circumstances. >> all right. shawn crispin from the asian times. thanks for weighing in and sharing your thoughts on this.

now police in england, they're investigating what they call a major incident with similarities to another high-profile case. so coming up, we'll be live in london with the details. stay with cnn.

welcome back to the program. we're going to england now where police are investigating what they call a major incident involving an unknown substance. a couple in amesbury are in critical condition after being exposed to it. nick paton walsh is with us from london live now. hey there, nick. i understand that details are quite scarce right now, but it does seem that authorities are on edge. is that basically because of proximity to salisbury where the march suspected nerve agent poisoning happened? >> yeah, the reason why this is attracting so much attention is

purely geography at this stage. we're a matter of miles from salisbury where the skripals, a former russian spy and his daughter were fournd unconscious on a park bench back in march sparking a broad hunt for the substance, the poison, the nerve agent used against them and then sanctions against russia and a major international diplomatic incident. this is causing so much concern at the moment. it occurred saturday night. a man and woman in their 40s in a home were originally found unconscious. thought perhaps to have been contaminated by some rogue batch of heroin or crack cocaine they would have bought at street level illegally. subsequent tests lead police to believe that substance is unknown. they have yet to identify it. so the reaction after some criticism after the skripal case that they were not swift enough to protect the public from the contamination risk, the police have moved to seal off areas where they believe that man and woman were durk the hours of

saturday prior to being found unconscious. speaking to sources here and seeing official statements, there is nothing at this point to suggest anything exotic at this stage or, of course, to link it to the skripal case at all. this is simply a case about the united kingdom. sleepy rural areas being on edge when incidents like this occur. we may see here signs perhaps of how drugs become more of a problem in certain rural areas in the united kingdom. but great concerns there predominantly based on geography at this point. >> please keep us posted if you learn anything more about this mystery. a very different story for england. it never won a penalty shootout in the world cup. before their game with colombia last night. find out how they got on. that's coming up next. i'm the f. before shipstation it was crazy. it's great when you see a hundred orders come in, a hundred orders come in, but then you realize i've got a hundred orders i have to ship out. shipstation streamlined that wh

♪ and england win on penalties! >> okay, everybody. it's time for a world cup

update. that moment was when england broke their world cup curse. eric dyer became the first england player to score a winning penalty in a shootout at the tournament for his country ever, and england went pretty crazy. fans were dancing in the street all over the country. perhaps one of them was cnn world sport's christina macfarland who joins us live from london. here we go, another kind of down to the wire finish. a penalty shootout. and all the more important because england has a terrible track record, doesn't it? >> that's absolutely right, ivan. i can tell you, i was one of those fans dancing in the streets last night. hugging people in the middle of london i didn't even know. >> so un-english. >> exactly. and i woke up this morning thinking, is this all a dream? but, no, we did win a penalty shootout and, yes, we are through to the quarterfinals for

the first time in 12 years. i want to show you a few headlines of how the papers have been reflecting that. the front page of "the sun" saying hand of jord, referring to jordan pickford, our goalkeeper saving one of those policies. and the back page of "the times," yes, it really happened showing, of course, england manager gareth southgate. you saw a bit of it there. want to show some of the scenes from the center of london last night where fans went absolutely berserk watching this. many of them celebrating. it felt in some ways like we'd already won the world cup. it's also because we have such a dismal record when it comes to penalties. . we've only one 1 out of 7 of the last major international tournaments when it comes to penalty shootouts. one of the most famous failures was euro '96 when our now manager south gate failed to put

away a penalty to put them out against germany. he's carried it for 22 years and our hearts were in our mouths not just for the team but for him because it's sweet, sweet redemption for gareth southgate and england are starting to believe that we can go all the way. >> congratulations for this big win. please help me out here because i confess it's hard for me to keep up. we're down to the last eight teams, i believe. what do we have to look forward to in the coming days. >> that's right, ivan. we're down to the last eight. the quarterfinals of the world cup. two matches in play on friday. two matches in play on saturday. england, of course, following that win are going to go up against sweden. this is why it was so important in this lower half of the draw for england to lose against belgium in their final group game because that now sets up a better fixture for them in this quarterfinal than the one

belgium will have when they'll face brazil on friday. i wonder if we can show those final brackets. the lower side of the draw there you can see is the easy one. england the only team to have won the world cup remaining on that side. you can see russia will face croatia. but up first will be uruguay against france and brazil against belgium. even though it's the easier side of the draw, it's not going to be completely straightforward. sweden have been gaining momentum. they're a top ten fifa world ranking team. the last time they got to the final of the world cup was way back in 1958 against brazil. motivation will be high. but i think the other side of the draw, brazil/france looking the stronger of the two teams. so it's all to play for, ivan, but certainly, if you are england right now it is looking like we are -- well, i keep saying key wee. i should be impartial. it looks like we're in a very

good position indeed to progress if we're able to overcome sweden on saturday. >> all right, christina macfarlane where you've taken to embracing strangers on city streets. i wish you many more happy embraces. thank you very much. japanese fans may have been heartbroken at their ouster from the world cup by belgium. but many stuck around the stadium to help russian crews clean up. that's so polite. so with their flags and festive outfits they picked up cups, bottles and papers before heading back to their hotels, perhaps for a good cry. the show of respect was mirrored by the japanese footballers. here's a tweet with a picture of their locker room. this is how they left the changing room after losing. they also left a message to russia. "thank you" in russian. one of the more unusual stars of the world cup, japan's oracle octopus is now an hors

d'oeuvre. this is a giant pacific octopus that correctly predicted japan would win against colombia, draw with senegal and lose to poland in the world cup. rabio swam to baskets of food representing a win, a loss or a draw. it became a national sensation but the fisherman felt he'd make more money selling it for food than from its clairvoyance so the octopus has now been sold for sashimi. enjoy your meal. thank you for joining us. i'm ivan watson.
