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 there are some 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 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 not a lot of it was a defender for the u.s.s.r. in the one nine hundred seventy championships bags of fragility you know i was
1:06 pm
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 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. found so this support will swing fief is vote some. of the most important thing is affordable is an initial sport which is loved in every city and village in this country. the found support here is unconditional they just want
1:07 pm
more to cheer about and no winning this bid will help the university of the with a world cup at home would give the youth gorgeous an added impetus so that by two thousand and eight seeing there is several talented young players to defend on or of professional football with the emblems of pressure on their chest not that on it's the only thing these boys adrenals are bennett r.t. moscow. five years ago israel pulled out of gaza leaving it to the palestinians the aim then was peace but of some jewish settlers refuse to leave quietly the consequences were more criticism and ongoing violence so now that israel's thinking over a withdrawal from the west bank to some settlers are worried that 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
1:08 pm
withdrawing one thousand settlers from gaza they'd be extending an olive branch to the palestinians but most underestimated the violence and heartbreak that would follow the progress of the soldiers scheme 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 arrest you were supposed to have left guards or 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. the awful of ryan lived in gaza with her husband in one thousand 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 them. by vere's ago most israeli supported the withdrawal but today more than half think it was a mistake so out as well there are some dozen community. it's like this where gaza
1:09 pm
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 some or is it a. drive for a. vehicle drive it for ten minutes who can defend it these really government spent more than two billion dollars evacuating eight thousand cities from gaza it
1:10 pm
would need to remove nearly fifty times that number from the way spent 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 those three 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. for 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 rand still waiting to be reimbursed for her home she was
1:11 pm
promised a new life but is still living in a caravan five years later policy r.t. keyboards and saw in southern israel. coming up on the program they're making their voices heard immigrants in finland hope a parliament of our own will break down barriers and end the threats of racial unrest but some don't think it'll work coming. first strong winds and heavy rains taking the place of the record heat wave that's been baking russia since the middle of june on sunday up to one hundred thousand people were left without electricity after a hurricane hit some petersburg suburbs out rooting trees and causing fleets to flood the storm swept through residential areas overturning cars damaging rail lines and across the wires will cost and so the whole record level winds will hit moscow within the next few days little respite from the extreme weather that's already endangered lives in russia this year and ambulance crews have borne the brunt to they've got a tough battle to get to people with
1:12 pm
a number of emergency calls at record levels. in the valley haven't left their part in it for days there has been life struggle with a daily heat wave blasting their home but it's better than even thinking about going outside. i haven't been out in the street for days the heat is so difficult for us it's hard to breathe and they're hard to kill you get serval 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 wet drapes new doorways and perseverance with damp clothes in india 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 all on the elderly emergency services are getting twice as many call outs daily as
1:13 pm
they would in any other month with the result 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. ambulances are bringing all people in huge numbers all of them are suffering from heat stroke in the hospitals all windows and doors are open so the smoke is everywhere even in the surgery rooms in the intensive care unit with the windows but they're still full of smoke it's forty degrees and the smell of rotting bandages is everywhere and medics are working round the clock trying to get every patient on time even pray that healthcare has seen an increase in calls. we get a lot of calls and some not from regular clients but we handle it all we will stand and will stocked the ambulance itself sirens screaming but without the weather on their side even the medical men may find themselves fighting
1:14 pm
a battle they can't win. gas religion or other r t moscow. the commander of u.s. and nato forces in afghanistan says he is not bound by the july twenty levon date set for a troop pullout general david petraeus said he could well advise president obama not to go ahead if he believes it is the wrong time american public support for the wars of the time low with july being the deadliest month for u.s. and nato troops since two thousand and one with frustration growing about the occupation of afghanistan now politicians in germany have been suggested talking to the taliban and terrorist organizations to try to avoid a further escalation of violence fredricka we'll bangles more from the best selling book a century of war joins us now on the line from frankfurt thanks for being with us tonight it was to speak of magazine that reported this that some members of the german parliament want dialogue with the taliban one of the most notable the german vice chancellor is this a sign of complete desperation. it's
1:15 pm
a sign that the german population is really fed up with the entire deployment of nato troops to afghanistan really they can't quite understand what what the purpose is. the scarman it's about pulling out by july of next year are simply ludicrous as petraeus indicated the nato troops and certainly the u.s. force command are not at all planning to pull out because the afghan occupation you have to understand it has nothing to do or very little to do with afghanistan perceive it has to do with russia it has to do with china it has to do with the central asian countries and spreading what some of called a thirty years war scenario to prevent the independent development economically of china russia and the c.e.o. showing our cooperation states so this is all politics on the part of obama about pulling up next let's go but you will talk about that in just a second if we want to push
1:16 pm
a little bit more on that but talking about what the german politicians are asking for other really big practical at the end of the day they say they want dialogue but only possible the big catch here if fundamental human rights in the rights of women is going to be recognized by the taliban are they being realistic. well there's even a question what is the taliban and afghanistan today because. the u.s. and the pentagon press releases call any quote unquote opposition groups that are trying to get occupy occupation armies out of their country after thirty years of war they call them the taliban automatically and very unclear whether this is an organized force as it was before october two thousand and one but the german politicians in the conservative wing are really quite desperate at this point because they realize that this is a highly unpopular war german soldiers are coming back in body bags and. they can't
1:17 pm
fathom the sense of it so they're they're fishing for some kind of dialogue the human rights thing is is simply a face saving device which means that they. are pretending to do something worse in reality they're not going to do anything what's going on with the american top brass general petraeus appears disney on the face of it at least to be backpedaling on the twenty eleven. is it suggesting there's no uniform agreement among the top decision makers about how to proceed in afghanistan. well i think the pentagon is calling the shots on this and the deployment is part of what i talk about in my book full spectrum dominance and that is the prevention it's the bush doctrine of two thousand and two the prevention of a cold less scene of any group of states or nations that could challenge the economic had germany or domination of the united states and china and russia are in the center of the that effort by by the pentagon by the u.s. since two thousand and one so like it or not afghanistan the the role of the
1:18 pm
u.s. military seems to be to protect the opium fields the poppy and heroin production of the afghan farmers so that the u.s. air force planes as general goole of the pakistani i.s.i. send recent. the u.s. air force planes out of my house in kyrgyzstan fly those opium and heroin shipments directly into russia in sealed airplanes that no russian authorities are allowed to inspect and there's a huge heroin and opium addiction problem in russia and in western europe as a result of this afghan opium supply that's explore easily time times little against us just one last question so as far as you see it what are we likely to witness when this date in twenty leavened comes along a year from now are we likely to see a pullout i see no pullout in the cards from the u.s. military what i see is that the u.s. is getting bogged down like russia did back in the late seventy's into
1:19 pm
a quagmire that will be analogous to another vietnam for the united states troops forces but they're going to try to spread this indicator to stand in to his back to stand. fund surrogate terrorism in order to justify a broader nato presence and i think the german parliamentarians are signaling that europe is not quite willing to go along with that agenda mr engel thanks for with us tonight author a few of the best selling book century of war joining us on the line from frankfurt thank you. immigrants living in finland could soon be represented by their very own parliament the country is trying to deal with a relatively new phenomenon of large scale immigration before any potential problems to nasa. doing all the right notes has become a success two decades ago killer piranha studied in europe met his wife in italy

and moved moved to 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 fans. and i tried my written off life this speaking six languages it's not been difficult for most in to integrate now he has a two year old daughter and a home in helsinki but not every immigrant in finland is successful. he has 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. finished decided to 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
1:21 pm
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. and the great people who. are coming in to fail on down they are not predictable 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. immigrant problem it seeing me help stop the rise of racial hatred we would like to do the polices so that we can also hear their voice even so i think that this policy and is a good idea because this gives voice. to my parents and they can
1:22 pm
act as a kind of a device or board that. every registered immigrant who is over eighteen in his move in food for at least two years will be able to port every person surely have the right for a decent life and to travel but having this right doesn't mean abusing it living where that means others feel and maybe new to the immigration issue but its 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 the saw emerging problems turn into a nationwide crisis. or to be healthy. still ahead tonight the latest of our special reports about the vietnam war thirty five years on before that though this monday china's got the latest business news for you. hungry for the full story we've got it first the biggest issues get

worst of the drought was over and the preparations for two thousand and eleven are already under way and he will not be washed out meanwhile still has a probe into three more bakeries after the price of bread sold twenty percent one with countries most affected by russia's grain export ban will be egypt turkey as it buys john pakistan and syria russia exported over ten million tons of grain to these countries in two thousand and nine and that accounts for almost half of their overall imports but first up the premiership called says understand while washington post. russia's grain ban came into effect on sunday the commodities list all the hanson says the market is mostly reacting to the weather forecast the market's reaction has been fairly limited to just today we actually trading on change currently both in chicago and in paris where we're seeing the milling wheat . to offset the band we are seeing with the forecast now which is projecting rain later in the week in the affected areas so that may have an impact already so we do
1:25 pm
think that the current cost of wheat is justified given the large reserves in some countries. it's it's hard to justify but obviously we had we come from a situation where we as has been trading at relatively low prices for a while and the market has probably the hedge funds and so on has been selling into it because they didn't see any prospects for higher prices so there's been a lot of scramble to cover short positions over the last month and but the global stocks are still still pretty high the stock to use is only dropping from twenty eight percent twenty five percent this year so there's still enough to go around the main issue is obviously to get the surplus in the u.s. into the different areas where they where the need them now the current export ban runs into december when we should be clear what the winter wheat crop will be like how important is the winter harvest. well the affected areas think that something like eighty percent of the total annual production that comes from windsor wait so
1:26 pm
it's obviously incredibly important with the rain that's forecast and there is hope obviously the worst is behind us and they have announced that there will be. there will be a revision of the band early october so if we have if the weather behaves from now on we could potentially see the band get lifted before december russia is moving closer to creating a new national fertiliser champion is a sector that governments came to the pool that provides the country's third biggest source of export revenues united and that is over ports. the prime mover in the consolidation of the sector billionaire suliman and his associates in june could remove what it controlling stake in anger a chemical giant. now to offshore companies believed to be close to. forty four percent of cillin eat the country's largest but producer already announced wednesday five percent of the company the third piece of the puzzle will be when cali launches an. unlisted so many it that expected to happen in the coming days it
