thousand and eighteen world cup talks to those who have nothing to play for. five years off that is where the roots of that settlers from gaza thousands of jewish people living in the west bank fear a repeat of a poorly handled process also. moscow's prolonged. weight has endangered thousands of lives but the brunt of it falling on the elderly doctors who work around the clock to save lives say casualties are hard to avoid when the weather conditions are so it stream. twenty four hour news and much more live from moscow this is r.t. welcome to the program it's the greatest show on earth and for a country that lives and breathes football russia is determined to net its ultimate prize and host the world cup if officials are incent petersburg today assessing the

bid for the two thousand and eighteen torment and reports it's already giving the potential stars of tomorrow the motivation to train harder today. these boys football is their life they train every single day just twelve years old and if the world cup does come to russia in twenty eighteen the hopes and expectations of a nation resting on their shoulders pressure that would make others of their age crumble but for the boys at spartak moscow is youth academy discipline and desire and more important it's not the fear of failure that drives them is the fear of missing the chance to play in a world cup on home turf yes i'm still a very civil strive to be honest i really want russia to host the twenty eighty mile cap is my life's purpose if we keep working hard we have a good chance of making the team but the trainings no walk in the park before they

can even touch the ball they must endure a punishing nonstop fitness routine for the first hour the coaches know the boys have talent but it's their hunger that's the key this man is no stranger to that he knows what it takes to play in a world cup not a lot of it was a defender for the u.s.s.r. in the one nine hundred seventy championships bags of hercules. i was gripped by a burning desire to see the world but how could i do that in those days so i told myself that i would be a football player i pledge that never in my life would i smoke a cigarette or drink a gram of wine or beer you know he never had the chance to play in a world cup at home but he knows it's something not to be missed and his playing in front of your own fans hearing the whole country support behind you is something you can't beat as a footballer you want nothing else i never got the chance but if these boys do it'll change their lives was football's a matter of national pride in russia this is how the country reacted when the team

reached the semifinals of the two thousand and eight european championships i. was hope this support will swing fief is vote this. the most important thing is that football is a national sport which is loved in every city in the village in this country but. the found support here is unconditional they just want more to cheer about and no winning this bid will help. them with a world cup at home would give the youth gorges an added impetus so that by two thousand and eighteen there are a several talented young players to defend on are fresh and football with the emblems of pressure on their chest. it's the only thing these boys dream of after bennett r.t. moscow. and while russia is keeping fingers crossed ahead of the fee for votes other important sporting victories are already in bag the country has topped the

table at the two thousand and ten you have been swimming championships. and that in our sports written coming up next up. it's been five years since israel pulled out from gaza leaving a strip to the palestinians it was hoped the withdrawal would lead the path to peace but instead the move sparked criticism of the israeli government's handling of the process and return of the of reportedly considering a similar move in the west bank. discover that israelis and even there are far from happy with the plans. five years on and the picture is still haunted israeli soldier pitted against israeli citizen israelis had hoped if i would point eight thousand cities from gaza they'd be extending an olive branch to the palestinians but most underestimated the violence and heartbreak that would follow after. the soldiers came they went to the window and shouted i said why don't you

come and knock on the door like normal people they told me you are under arrest you were supposed to have loved guards are already the soldiers were crying the children were crying i was crying. i looked at guards i looked at the sea i said that's it it's so great. you're full of ryan lived in gaza with her husband and children for sixteen years until the last moment they refused to pack up and leave with nothing more than the clothes on their back assigned to the house was the only thing they brought with him. by vere's ago most israeli supported the withdraw but today more than half think it was a mistake throughout israel there are some dozen communities like this where gaza refugees despite the promises made to them are still living in temporary housing. and now in settlements across the west bank people are afraid the same fate awaits them sure goldstein has been mayor of the settlement block for eleven years he's

furious with israeli premier benjamin netanyahu who in his latest bid for peace allegedly offered the palestinians ninety percent of the west bank if they agree to direct talks palestinian president mahmoud abbas is under pressure to give an answer in the coming days if the government of israel. would decide to go out of the forming of quitting suicide there with of israel if we're going to give them our. drive for a. vehicle carol drive it for ten minutes who can defend these really government spent more than two billion dollars evacuating eight thousand cities from gaza it would need to remove nearly fifty times that number from the west bank a financial and logistical nightmare a more thorough assessment of the principle of thing until we. hear numbers will be for. the for maybe we could reach an agreement.

for me or the. palestinian sovereignty today more than ever israeli settlers in the west bank have this. empathy of the israeli public the last thing they want is a repeat of these pictures what the public safe no more. we're not going to do it like this. we're not going to disengage we're not willing to do any confessions it's time of the arabs it's time of the palestinians to do their part. and while the israeli government contemplates another withdrawal you know full of ram still waiting to be reimbursed for her home she was promised a new life but he's still living in a caravan five years later policy r.t. keyboards and saw in southern israel. so to come here not voting stance find out how immigrants. to make their voices heard and while other ones wrote negative

i propose. parliament for immigrants in finland has stimulated debate on how best to deal with the influx of newcomers from abroad while large scale immigration may be new to the country its origins are trying to resolve potential problems before they turn into something larger parties it will piss off since this report. again all the right notes has become a success two decades ago he left iran to study in europe met his wife in italy and both moved to where he continued his education here then i came direct i was. very busy saw didn't have a lot of stress i got a lot of sport dancing. and i tried my written off life this speaking six languages it's not been difficult for most and to integrate

now he has a two year old daughter and a home in helsinki but not every immigrant in finland is as successful. as a local newspaper and claims newcomers are often denied jobs simply because they don't have a finnish name born abroad to a finnish mother she joined up with other immigrants to propose a parliament to fight for the rights of the newcomers. finishes cited systematically not ready to understand that it's changing and even though currently the amount of immigrants is only about three percent of the population if measures are not taken out the problems are only going to. organizers say the immigrant parliament will be an independent nonpolitical organization but not many finns including this member of parliament from the finnish fork party support the project i don't think it's a good idea for immigration groups in the great people who. are

coming in to fail and then they are not predictable many immigrants or refugees from troubled regions like somalia and iraq and some of them don't speak finnish that means they can't find a job so they live on state handouts it's provoked a backlash from right wing nationalist in the country authorities support. immigrant problem see me help stop the rise of racial hatred we would like to do the policy so that we can also hear their voice even so i think that this parliament is a good idea because this gives voice. to migrants and they can act as a kind of device or board that. every registered immigrant who's in his new. two years will be able to port every person ensure we have the right for a decent life and to travel but having this right doesn't mean abusing it living by

the means of others' feelings may be new to the immigration issue but it's long become a part of the reality for many other european state and now the time has come for this country to find its solution before these top or emerging problems turn into a nationwide crisis. or d. l. think the. new commander of american and nato forces in afghanistan general petraeus says he will be bound by the deadline of july two thousand and eleven to start withdrawing u.s. troops but said he was right to advise president obama against a pullout date if you conditions on the right was in two containers american public support for the war reached an all time low the previous month being the deadliest for u.s. troops since the beginning of the conflict in two thousand and one some experts believe one way to succeed in a campaign against the taliban is to admit the real threat is not just insurgency but also the drugs trade. and the city going to shows his view on the issue.

after the. trained special investigative unit major crimes task force airplane handed afghan national security adviser the afghan president accused americans of behaving like russians alluding to. this military campaign thirty years ago well comrade karzai in effect could get more than he had bargained for it is a bit to irony that in soviet times in afghanistan it could be just in comprehensible even to imagine that some of it backed leaders would be involved less to fall protecting a rampant corruption and drug trafficking and drug production all across the country so that in a way could be a measure of success or the lack of it for the american leaders who are trying to

recess it date. their political and military campaign in afghanistan while the general betray us has already initiated an official evaluation of u.s. policy in afghanistan which has already drifted from the classical accounting insurgency to counter terrorism and to counter narcotics it is only one missing element that would provide the new measure of success to regain the momentum that is to have meat and openly declare that the terrorism and drug trafficking are just two parts of the same challenge and it should be properly at church attributed and cold as narco terrorism. now at some of the stories making headlines around the world pakistani authorities old warning that all flooding could add to the current misery this week the country's worst flood zone records began more than two weeks ago and have so far killed fifty thousand people during
