11:08 am
so they will. it is in collaboration otherwise the problems that they're facing today and these problems we would have faced were going the election not the use of the result in the coming thanks so a lot of changes a lot of challenges ahead john sykes joining us from ancora as we mentioned you're with the center for economics and foreign policy studies an independent political think tank there and we appreciate your analysis. announce that a quick check of some other stories that have been making news around the world police in nigeria say that at least eighty six people have died in clashes between farmers and nomadic herders the deaths are the latest in a long running battle for land and resources the fight took place in the central plateau state where the government has imposed a curfew the libyan coast guard says that it has rescued several hundred migrants from rubber dinghies in

got his brace in the fortieth minutes. ahead of the break harry k. made it five completing his chicken early in the second time. celebrates a late consolation like a winner but it was england's who victorious six one the final score their highest ever world cup win. and there were just as many goals and berth for a trite but those games they played out differently if there were another seven goals from the two remaining games of the day for group say japan's clash with senna goal was very different to poland's clash with colombia in the first it was a very tightly contested affair very dramatic to the end and the second there was a clear when i said let's have a look at how those games turned out. not in the us yet he may not be something opens a scoring off to forty minutes at casa table as well as a better team and went on to two more go it's on the continent the second time that
11:11 am
i'm a psycho and one plus securing presses from the sprawling i can go man sutton's a group one potentate to make it out of his group stage shows a certain man a role in the group leaders cliffside your money opens a school run for senate go sayings to some kamikaze defending by japan. this summer roy equalised was a first shot and goes through takashi in a week then was a young display on the pitch nineteen year old moose of a gear restall it's in the full senate go only for japan to level again through the case until honda to all is the finest goal. so a lot of action there and we actually know that today is really crucial phase for the world cup with is being played in group a and b. and as you can see over my shoulder here we're actually being joins live from moscow now our correspondent jonathan crane on is standing by with some more analysis on that so tell us jonathan what do we have to look forward to today.
11:12 am
yes the final round of group stage games taking place today four in total fest in group a and then followed by two in group b. they have to kick off at the same time to avoid any kind of a funny business and collusion between the sides so what's at stake well not so much in group a because egypt and saudi arabia are already out there just playing for pride they want to watch the russia against uruguay to decide who will win that group a victory or a draw for the russians will see them and just do just that it's a lot closer and therefore not more complicated spain and portugal are the favorites to advance but don't discount iran if they beat portugal and they will go through at the expense of cristiano ronaldo and his teammates and what a story that would be and then we know you've been in russia for two weeks now how would you describe the mood there. i think it's right to say the mood has
11:13 am
changed a lot safer the last two weeks russians were always looking forward to hosting this tournament but that was tempered by a degree of pessimism about the national sides chances now of course with russia on the verge of topping the group that's been replaced by an outpouring of pride in the national team as one newspaper wrote we don't have to bite our fingernails anymore we can actually be excited about the football and i think when news or draw the russian fans with sammy be excited tonight when we were speaking to said he expected a electric atmosphere here in moscow he said that moscow used to be a village and now it's like international fans coming and joining in the celebrations you also expressed a bit of shock at how well the team was doing he said maybe someone was putting them under pressure maybe that someone working in the building right behind me on that note don't forget the russia is emerging from a state sponsored taping scandal for any kind of positive sporting news is very welcome to though some eyebrows have been raised about some statistics that show
11:14 am
that russian players have run further than any other tournament the russian coach treasure self was asked about that in his press conference yesterday and he said it was down to motivation and motivation yeah exactly a lot of people download evaded a lot of teams and just briefly before we go i'd like to ask you who do you see advancing tonight well as jonathan summarized just now there's there's a there's a big game between you and why and russia and i fancy year ago i just edge that group by the group b. games i think it'll be a little bit more straightforward i fancy spain comfortably and iran even though they have a chance of going through i fancy portugal to go through with spain in group b. and cambridge joining us here in studio and jonathan crane with the very latest from moscow thank you so much to both of you. and with that now you are up to date on d w news i'm sorry kelly and berlin and don't forget you can always get some more news that's on d w dot com you can also follow us on social media thank you so
