as the first starts tackling russia's bid to net football's greatest prize and host the twenty eighteen world cup are two talks of those who have everything to play.

five years after israel operated settlers from gaza thousands of jewish people living in the west bank fear for fear a repeat of the poorly handled process also. moscow's prolonged heat wave has endangered thousands of lives with the brunt of it falling on the elderly . doctors who work around the clock to save lives they casualties are hard to avoid when the weather conditions are so extreme. a warm welcome to you live from our studios in central moscow you're watching r t with me a nice and now way first up 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. in st petersburg today assessing the bid for the twenty eight hundred twenty mint and as i've been a 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 eventually receive most revenue and if i really want russia to host the twenty eighty mile cap it's my life's purpose if we keep working

hard we have a good chance of making the team but the training's 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 cannot be loggerheads with a defender for the u.s.s.r. in the one nine hundred seventy championships bags referred to was real but 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 pledged 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 because as a footballer you want nothing else i never got the chance but if these boys do

it'll change their lives was the bulls 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 championship so i. hope this support will swing fief is vote this. on one of 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 you know winning the speed will help. with the ball in the world cup at home would give the youth coaches an added impetus so that by two thousand and eight she won there are several talented young players to defend on are fresh and for little with the emblems of pressure on their chest. it's the only thing these boys dream. on to bennett. and while russia is keeping fingers crossed ahead of the faithful vote

other important sporting victories are already in the bag the country has topped the table at a one to ten european swimming championship we'll have more on that in our sports politics coming up later this hour. now it's been five years since israel pulled out from gaza leaving the strip to the palestinians it was hoped the withdrawal would lead a path to peace but instead the move sparked criticism over is the israeli government's handling of the process and with television reportedly considering a similar move in the west bank artie's paulus lear discovered that israelis living there are far from happy with the plans. five years on and the pictures stronghold and israeli soldier pitted against israeli citizen israelis it hoped if i was going eight thousand settlers from gaza they'd be extending an olive branch to the palestinians but most underestimated the violence and heartbreak that would

follow after the press summary of what some of the soldiers 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 your and arrested you were supposed to have loved guards or already the soldiers were crying the children were crying i was crying i looked at the guards i looked at this i said that's it it's over. you are full of run lived in gaza with her husband and nine 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. five years 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 there so why are forming quitting suicide there with of israel if we're going to give them our. drive for a. vehicle. drive it for ten minutes who can defend. these really government spends more than two billion dollars evacuating a thousand searches from gaza it would need to remove many fifty times that number from the west bank a financial and logistical nightmare the more sort of settlements the pinstriped

everything until we thoroughly i think if numbers will be fully and look asian. was the first maybe we could reach an agreement. for many of those two states and the palestinian sovereignty today more than ever israeli settlers in the west bank have the sympathy of the israeli public the last thing they want is a repeat of these pictures what the public say snore more. we're not going to do it like this. we're not going to disengage we're not willing to do any concessions it's time of the arabs it's time of the palestinians to do their part in the game and while the israeli government contemplates another withdrawal the awful of rent 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 here with r.t.
