to reporters in thailand for the nations on the rescue operation. i'm on a welcome to the program well there's more great matches on the menu at the world cup today all eyes will be on the host laser as underdogs russia take on the golden generation of croatia in the quarter final stage sports correspondent oliver moody is in saatchi to break down for us. it's another huge day for the host nation a quarterfinal here in sochi that nobody thought was possible before the tournament and many are still struggling to believe russia in terms of talent are still the underdogs as a very strong side with the likes of luka moderates and even rockets in midfield and talented attackers like even paris and mario and you could show up top but russia has been the underdogs throughout and the atmosphere generated here in the

host nation has managed to carry the team forward and produce some really brilliant performances from the likes of autumn's uva and of course eagle ak in favor of the hero goalkeeper in the penalty shootout against spain it's sure to be a fiery encounter here at the fish stadium in sochi and however it turns out the host nation can be proud of the performances of their team. and for that much england meet in an intriguing quarterfinal in a physical game is expected with both sides strong at the back and. gareth southgate has reason to smile before his side's game against colombia england had won a world cup knockout match in twelve years they never want to penalty shoot out they're already breaking records and they want more. we want to keep making the history and we know that. it's not since ninety nine t. that we were in

a world cup semifinal so. we hugely ambitious that want to do that england face a sweden side have been rock solid at the back all tournaments their coach is preparing his side for a rough encounter. in this group and it was football has developed a great deal just as swedish football since the one nine hundred seventy s. but what they still have an english soccer is the heart and the spirit and the energy type of soccer i've always appreciated. but there's also something new about english football genuine belief the further england go the more hope the fans allow themselves i never thought in my lifetime i would see england win the world cup i think we're very very close so far southgate's team has been under no pressure and benefited from the freedom it remains to be seen how they'll perform now that england expects. a wild nights at the well cup on friday it's all powerhouse brazil knocked out of the tournament at the quarter final stage they

lost to belgium two one the red devils are straight at their first well cups any final since one thousand six. a game that started on the wrong foot for brazil one furnace denio deflected the ball into his own goal the thirteenth minute one nil for the belgians who could now do what they like most breaking on the counter kevin to brian or didn't think twice when he doubled the lead for belgium at the half hour mark. i no chance for keeper allison and now brazil really had an uphill battle to fight. ten minutes into the second half and the referee took center stage after gabrielle jesus' style in the six yard box the unanimous verdict no penalty. i brazil did pull one back those three were not zero zero zero gusto in the seventy sixth minute and neymar had his moment to put belgian keeper t.-bo courtois denied the brazilian star deep in injury time i tell him to brazil

one and the next footballing superpower crashes out of this world cup. a president's faith means the semifinals the be contested by four european teams for the first time since two thousand and six percent in fans of course didn't take too well to the last here's what some have to say that. i'm heartbroken you know i think brazil didn't play wow box still you know it still means something because in the end we need goes we need to score goals. very mother ma just a little you want a boy and you have all grades to be a core religion you have to play football you didn't you just core there were only since you made it these were called balls made of red or gold off the face they were the player that has no faults. brazil fought

a good game but better was the better team so we are you know in sports it was always one that win in brazil was that was there this time. after the face of brazil the red devils the made france in the semifinals the view's be easier by two goals to nail there were plenty of als in the first half they are intense in these they'll create coffee for your wife and breeze man then took their resulting three things added home by reality trip defender out of the second half breach not the south still holds france's lead this relatively tame did it in after it was conned into the national you're going keeper for him and. that's what sports for now would have a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. in japan at least thirty five people are dead after record flooding in some areas dozens more are

thailand have said that they're approaching what they call near perfect conditions for evacuating the twelve children trapped in the flotus cave they're now hoping to extract the group before new monsoon rains cause water levels to rise an oxygen that flows to sick further while above the surface pressure is mounting to get the boys soon they themselves say they're holding up fine. messages from underground the trapped boys have sent assurances to their families don't worry about me i miss all of you wrote one with others asking for fried chicken and not too much homework. their football coach too sent a note apologizing to the boy's parents divers brought the letters out through the narrow flooded passages they continue to deliver air and supplies and keep the boy safe but after the death of

a former tiny navy diver no one can ignore the risks involved. thirty eight year old salmon to none was honored in a ceremony on friday he had successfully brought ten severe to the boys and their coach but he lost consciousness on his dive back. it's very risky think about it a navy seal just passed away so how about a twelve year old kid. it is for that reason the local governor has said crews will wait as long as possible for the rescue operation he said the boys weren't ready to attempt a difficult journey yet and need more diving training. it's been two weeks since the twelve boys and their coach became stuck on a muddy ledge intamin cave for relatives to the wait is getting tougher over the news and it is still dangerous to come out here on the line. for this but i'm

worried he's never dived but can swim a little right now. fears are mounting over dropping oxygen levels in the cave heavy monsoon rains are imminent and could cause water levels in the cave to rise to dangerous levels rescuing the boys is becoming more and more urgent for more on the story we're joined now by a favorite journalist who is following the story for us from the thai capital bangkok amy the chief of the rescue mission has said conditions are quote perfect for getting the boys and their coach out of the caves in the next few days so does that mean then that an operation is imminent. yes well the chief has changed his mind for one day to the next yesterday was saying that the boys are still not ready to leave the cave they were still undergoing diving cheney and this morning he said that the conditions are perfect to take the boys out but there are

several factors that they're taking into consideration one is of course the monsoon rains which are supposed to hit the north of the country next week inside the cave where levels are part of the at their lowest that they've been in several days and oxygen levels are also a concert inside the cave the provincial governor the head of the rescue is now saying they want to take the boys out as soon as possible to minimize risks and they're also taking into consideration the health of the police have been in there now for about two needs they are saying as well that heavy rains are expected in the next few days so what are the chances of getting the mayor's before the water rises well they've been pumping water out of this cave pretty much since the start of the search and rescue operation so if they're going to move as a potential governor said they're going to have to do so in the next three to four

days. chances of getting them out it's not clear at the moment that what authorities do know is that they're expecting heavier rains by monday or tuesday so we could be seeing some sort of movements perhaps tomorrow or early next week ok i outlined some of the risks that are facing these boys i mean you did mention that some of them have actually to learn how to die. yes i think one big factor that's changed this says you operation was the death of one of the navy divers part of the rescue team onsite early on friday there are many risks experts say that these boys i need to pass through a very narrow passages will need to dive for quite some distance. as hundred meters or so perhaps even more and they need to have to be diving alone in certain parts of the case so these are the risks authorities are at the moment and they have to

consider them very carefully before they decide to move out from deep inside that a little cave. i mean if ever in bangkok thank you for speaking with us. the world famous filmmaker venders describes himself as a director and photo refer it to affairs of the polaroids while making his classic movies such as paris texas and the american friends now the director has shared a selection of his pictures of rolonda scapes film sets on tim south in an exhibition here in the german capital burnett. inventors was in his late twenty's a young filmmaker when he discovered his love for polaroid photography and his love for america the land of unlimited opportunities the city of new york in the heady seventy's would become his haven as it were. when i had a bit of money for the first time i lived at the chelsea hotel. but then i ran out
