are to talk to those who have all played for. five years after israeli settlers were operated from gaza thousands of jewish people living in the west bank fear they're also about to be forced from their homes. and the weather crisis just won't let go rush has hit by hurricanes and to rensil rain in the northwest all still reeling from weeks of unprecedented heat wave burning wildfires and suffocating smog. also coming up in a business update we'll be looking at that call stuff the drought ravishing russia has gone with news of one billion dollars joining us in about twenty minutes. a warm welcome to you live from our studios in central moscow this is are to you

with a. and now a first up this hour fifa officials are assessing russell's bid to host the planet's most spectacular sporting event the football world cup the inspection has begun in st petersburg one of the cities which will be used if russia wins the right to state either the twenty eighteen or twenty twenty two tournament as ivor bennett reports just the possibility is giving potential stars of tomorrow the motivation to train harder today. for 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 or 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 you have to really want russia to hosted twenty eighteen world cup it's the purpose of my life if we keep working hard we have a good chance of me can do 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 not a lot of it was a defender for the u.s.s.r. in the one nine hundred seventy championships bags of hercules you know 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 is playing in front of your own fans hearing the whole country's. 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 who pulls 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. found so this support will swing fief is vote this summer world the whole ball your lives on the love the most important thing is the football is a national sport which is loved in every city in the village and this country with . the found support here is unconditional they just want more to cheer about and no winning this bid will help the university of that with a world cup at home would give the youth coaches an added impetus so that by two thousand and eighteen there are 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 are dreaming of after bennett r.t. moscow. five years ago israel pulled out of gaza leaving it to the palestinians the aim was peace but as some do or southers refused to leave quietly the consequences were more criticism and got ongoing violence so now that israel is thinking over a withdraw from the west bank some southerners are worried they're also about to be forced from their homes. five years on and the pictures still haunt israeli soldier pitted against israeli citizen israelis had hoped that by withdrawing 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. that some of 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 garzon already the soldiers were

crying the children were crying i was crying i looked at the guards i looked at the sea i said that's it it's over. you are full of ryan 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 the sign 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 the forming of 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 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. the principle of thing until we. hear numbers will be for. the for maybe we could reach an agreement. for me or. a list.

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 says normal. 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 in the game and while the israeli government contemplates another withdrawal you know full of rand is still waiting to be reimbursed for her home she was promised a new life but is still living in a caravan five years later policy r.t. keyboards and saw in southern israel but the situation in gaza after the pull out in two thousand and five has seen no improvement and in fact israel is still in control of gaza that's according to dr honey a political analyst from gaza. what we have in gaza yet is still an israeli

occupation because what had been in two thousand and five that was not an end of a q.b. she from me as a political analyst i believe that it was very very deployment for the israeli army . has increased even more than before and this specially for the past three years especially after the election of hamas. form with the hamas government in palestinian territories in gaza i know east bank and what we have witnessed the sea which has imposed against the gaza strip and this will afflicted the life of every citizen in the gaza strip so the tension has increased even more than before how mass has increased its more here but we need to launch. some home homemade rockets into the israeli side and at the same time days or easily a government one islamic government to be existing in the gaza or the west bank

so the tension has increased especially for the bus of three years and we have witnessed the war in the gaza strip at the end of two thousand and eight so we believe that life has become bitter things have even bad consequences of for the long term because in illegal tim for some people seeing gaza it becomes independent and we palestinians would have the responsibility of the gaza strip for others and for more political analyst they believe here their israeli side would have the full responsibility and the gaza strip still under the israeli occupation up to now. here with our to you live from moscow much more coming your way this hour including making their voices heard simply lay their hopes in the world's first immigrant parliament to help them adapt to a new home but not everyone's happy about it.

strong winds and heavy rains are taking the place of the record heat which has been back breaking some since the middle of do on sunday a hurricane hit north western regions of the country offering trees and causing streets to flood the storm swept through residential areas overturning cars damage of railways and electric wires forecasters say the hurricane level winds will hit moscow within the next few days there is little response from the extreme weather which is already in danger of lives in russia this year ambulance crews have been in a tough battle to get to the people with get to people rather with the number of emergency calls at record levels. here in china in the run having left their partner and for days the husband and wife struggle with the daily heat wave blasting their home but it's better than even thinking about going outside what a cutie and you are. right i haven't been out in the streets for days the heat is

so difficult for us it's hard to breathe and their hearts can give you trouble with no air conditioning and only one hundred eighty u.s. dollars per month pension even than his wife can only rely on their daughter she hangs what drapes and doorways and congress appearance with dan coats in an attempt to ward off the heat and the trouble it brings. nice and cool. this couple is pulling through thanks to their daughter but many others are not moscow's prolonged heat wave has endangered thousands of lives with the brunt of it falling on the elderly emergency services are getting twice as many call outs daily as they would in any other month but there were still being that not every patient gets help in time there are no official statistics on how many people have died in the past two months but many still find a way to speak out. the hospital death toll or the past twenty four hours has reached seventeen it was sixteen on the day before yesterday this morning there

were sixty five corpses in the hospital morgue our own patients plus the bodies of people who died of nation causes in nearby flats the corpses are stuck in the basement upright all the refrigerator center full ambulances are bringing all people in huge numbers all of them are suffering from heat stroke and medics are working round the clock trying to get every patient on time even private healthcare has seen an increase in calls. lot of calls and some not from regular clients but we handle it all we will starved and will stocked the ambulance sirens screaming but without the weather on their side even the medical men may find themselves fighting a battle they can't win. gas renos or other party. foreigners living in finland could soon be represented by their very own immigrants parliament the country is trying to deal with the relatively new phenomenon of widescale

immigration before any potential problems turn nasty. all the right. has become a success. to go to study. where he continued his education. here then i came direct i was. very busy so didn't have a lot of stress i get a lot of sports. i tried my written off life this speaking six languages it's not been difficult for me to integrate now he has a two year old daughter and a home in helsinki but not every immigrant is a successful. he heads 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 newcomers. finnish society 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 grow. organizers say the immigrant parliament will be an independent nonpolitical organization but not many films 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 can't read or write are coming into fame on down they are not proud of predicting how many immigrants are 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 the immigrant parliament saying it may help stop the rise of racial hatred we would like to do the policy so that we can also hear the voice of him in so i think that this parliament is a good idea because they said he hopes voice. to migrants and they can act as a kind of a divisive vote that voting is planned for next year in parallel with the finnish problem and three elections every registered immigrant who is over eighteen and has moved in finland for at least two years will be able to take part every person surely 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 its long become a part of the reality for many other european state and now. well the time has come for this country to find its solution before the soul for emerging problems turn

eluding to the soviet military campaign thirty years ago well comrade karzai in effect could get more than he had bargained for it is a bit the irony that in soviet times in afghanistan it could be just in comprehensible even to imagine that backed leader would be involved less to fall protecting if they are rampant corruption and drug trafficking and drug production all across the country so that in a way could be a measure of success all the lack of it for the american leaders who are trying to recess it eight. their political and military campaign in afghanistan while the general petraeus has already initiated an official rate evaluation of u.s. policy in afghanistan which has already drifted from the classical counting insurgency to counterterrorism 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 admit 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. the vietnam war is regarded by many as america's bloodiest defeat in history so what did almost sixty thousand u.s. servicemen really die for find out what vietnam veterans really think about the war thirty five years on in our special report next hour. to join the military. because i thought that it was my duty that it was something the right to help my country. my government the necessary. man there was a lot of room. there was
