on. morning news today violence is once again flared up the film these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada from trying to cope for a shelter all day. a future in football russia shoots for gold in its bid to host the twenty eighteen world cup as a fee for delegation begins inspecting potential venues across the country.

also five years after the removal of israeli settlers from gaza ended in violence thousands of jews in the west bank no fear there also about to be forced out as part of a possible government peace deal with palestinians. and the summer of extremes after two months of a record heat wave and devastating wildfires rush is now bracing itself for how it can force winds that already hit the northwest of the country. this is r t thanks for being with us this hour i'm kevin zero in with the top stories and international officials are recessing russia's bid to host one of the planet's most spectacular sporting events the football world cup the expection inspections began in some petersburg one of the cities which will be used if the

country wins the right to stage the tournament the telling of reports now from russia's second city. well the competition of course is very strong russia is up against countries hold we have had experience in hosting a world cups in other major international football championships countries such as japan the united states united kingdom south korea on the other hand however russia right now is in the throes this is over reparations for the winter olympics in sochi in two thousand and fourteen so it is caught up in that dynamic of preparing for a major international wrong position also fief eyes known for supporting developing countries which could be moved to work in favor of our show holding the world cup after they came to st petersburg could be fined spectators visited a stadium a cold feet you'll see in case russia wins the bid this stadium will be used to hold semifinals of the world's got their next stop is moscow to that they will go

to social and cazan altogether thirteen russian cities with a pretty stiff eight hundred in this builds their results will be announced on the second of december this year so in just a couple of months time meanwhile russians of course of very closely monitoring this bid many of whom hold that russia indeed will win after the inspectors came to st petersburg they held a brief press conference during which they have said that they're going to be very strict with questions and that russia should be prepared for that and to russian authorities have already prepared five hundred kilograms worth of favorite in documentation proving russia's credibility for holding the world cup of course as those the young football players who are learning only learning right now are also very much looking forward for this decision to be made hoping it will be in favor of over russia and they will be able to take part is that in this major international competition as i've ever been at that reports.

for these boys football is their life they train every single day just twelve you. is old and if the world cup does come to russia in twenty eighteen the hopes and expectations of a nation resting on bare 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 host it twenty eighteen world cup is 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. it was a defender for the u.s.s.r. in the one nine hundred seventy championships bags of her till. 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 is 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 god put balls 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. hope this support will swing fief is vote some of. the most important

thing is affordable is a national sport which is loved in every city and village in this country with the . the found support here is unconditional they just want more to cheer about winning this bid will help it's got the university of the a world cup at home would give the youth coaches an impetus so that by two thousand each in their research or talented young players to defend on our first and for all with the emblems of pressure on their chest will not stand and it's the only thing these boys dream. i've been it r.t. moscow. five years ago israel pulled out of gaza leaving it to the palestinians the aim then was peace but as some jewish settlers refused to leave quietly the consequence was more criticism and ongoing violence so now that israel's thinking over a withdrawal from the west bank as well some settlers are worried they're also about to be forced from. five years on and the pictures still haunt

israeli soldier pitted against israeli citizen israelis had hoped that by withdrawing one 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 press 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 your and 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. the awful 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 them. 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 the israel if we're going to give them our. drive for a. vehicle. terek drive it for ten minutes who can defend it these really

government spends more than two billion dollars evacuating eight thousand cities from gaza it would need to remove many fifty times that number from the way spank a financial and logistical nightmare a more thorough assessment snipping type of thing until we thought we are a team thief numbers were the first location. was the for in therm maybe we could reach an agreement. for many of those to stay out of 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. to what the public say to normal. we're not going to do it like this. we are 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 promised a new life but he's still living in a caravan five years later policy r.t. keyboards and saw in southern israel the situation in guards or after the pullout in two thousand and five signal improvement in five israel still in control says dr handing over susi to political analysts from gaza i spoke to. 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 their q.b. she from me as a political analyst i believe that i was very very deployment for the israeli army and tension 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 in palestinian territories in gaza on the east bank 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 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 foremost 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. this is artsy for moscow still ahead they're making their voices heard immigrants in finland hope the parliament of the road will break barriers and the pressure of racial unrest but whatever with principle work we've got a report ahead tonight. bad weather before that strong winds and heavy rains are 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 papers bugs suburbs roofing trees and causing streets to flood the storm swept through residential areas overturning cars damaging rail lines and christie was forecasters say the whole can level when it will hit moscow within the next few days there's little respite from the extreme weather that's already endangered lives in russia this year a very brunt of it to those ambulance crews who've had a tough battle to get the people with the number of emergency calls at record levels. in the run haven't lost their part in for days that has been in life struggle with a daily heat wave blasting their home but it's better than even thinking about going outside the square killing you. right i haven't been out in the street i can see the heat is so difficult for us it's hard to breathe and you're hard to kill you would struggle 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 when drapes new doorways and perseverance with jan clothes in determined to ward off the heat and the trouble it brings. nice and cool. this couple is going 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 falls on the elderly emergency services are getting twice as many halts daily as 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 in this surgery rooms in the intensive care unit with the

windows but they're still full of smoke it's forty degrees in the smell of rotting bandages is everywhere medics are working round the clock trying to get every patient on time even private healthcare has seen an increase in calls from media pressure we get a lot of calls and some not from regular clients which we have who is all we will stand and will stocked the ambulance it's all sirens screaming but without the weather on their side even the medical men may find themselves playing it down to a green. gas religion or the r t. the commander of u.s. and nato forces in afghanistan says he is not bound by the july twentieth eleven date set for a troop pullout general david petraeus said he could well advise president obama not to go ahead if he believes it's the wrong time american public support for the war is not an all time low with deny being the deadliest month for u.s. and nato troops since two thousand and one with frustration growing about the

occupation of afghanistan politicians in germany now even suggested talking to the taliban and terrorist organizations to avoid a further escalation of violence that's something i put to frederick william angle is an author of the bestselling book century of war he told me instability in the central asian region is in america's interest. comments 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 off because the afghan. occupation you have to understand it has nothing to do or very little to do with afghanistan or say it has to do with russia it has to do with china has to do with the central asian countries and spread. in what some of called a thirty years war scenario to prevent the independent development economically of china russia and the c.o. shanghai cooperation states so this is all politics on the part of obama about

pulling up next there's even a question of what is the taliban and afghanistan today because. the u.s. military gone 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 answer 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 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 the. pretended to do something worse in reality they're not going to do anything. immigrants living in finland could soon

be represented by their very own parliaments the countries trying to deal with a relatively new phenomenon of large scale immigration before the potential problems. all the right moves and has become a success two decades ago you if you run just. met his wife in italy and moved to continue his education camp here then i came direct i was. very busy so didn't have a lot of stress i get a lot of sport dancing. 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 the. finnish side 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 are not taken now the problems are only going to grow more and 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 supports the project i don't think it's a good idea for immigration groups and the right people who. are right coming into famine than they are not predictable many immigrants or refugees from a troubled region 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 provoke a backlash from the right wing nationalist in the country authorities support the. immigrant grooming seeing 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 pallium is a good idea because this gives morris. to migrants and they can act as a kind of if i said well what i'm doing is going through next you. should every registered immigrant who's eighteen in his move in food for at least two years we'll be able to take court every person sure 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 emerging problems turn into a nation wide graces you've got this going off or t l think the. good news in brief now and then columbia a boeing seven three seven this crashed splitting into three pieces on landing killing one passenger an air force official said that with one hundred thirty one on board at the time it was a miracle that more didn't die after the jetliner was struck by lightning at the san andreas holiday resort the pilot was praised for preventing the plane from colliding with the airport building. in china's flooded northwest to clean up operations begun to remove the debris from a landslide triggered a week ago by torrential rain over twelve hundred were killed in the disaster nearly five hundred people still missing tonight soldiers using heavy machinery and explosives are now rushing to clear a blocked rivers mountainsides heavy rains expected between chile and thursday. in south korea peace activists have gathered in the capital seoul to protest the

country's joint military exercises with the u.s. tens of thousands of troops are taking part in the annual computer simulated war games which started on monday the drills were launched despite three. from north korea saying the exercise is a rehearsal for invasion. of jones' bid for the presidency of haiti made headlines last week so all the meals of portnoy i went to meet his fellow us immortal technique the music industry can offer more than just empty words to haiti right now that interview coming right up.

you took the incentive to help raise money for so many hundreds of thousands that are still in need why did you feel that you actually had to fly over to haiti to see that disbursement of the funds i went there to request. this club. in downtown new york that was gracious enough to involve themselves personally in the cause to support the haitian people. and when i heard about the what was going on i said you know whatever you guys need from me and they said we want to get the word out about what's really going on here you know so the best way to do that is to come down there not to read. or to to just study them in books but

also to actively participate in the you know i think the line between an activist and a revolutionary you have to involve yourself a lot more than the particular cause and have the most serious commitment. you know sometimes i get accused of being too serious but because of the territory i want to ask about a few things that you saw there the children the orphans from what i read you actually were holding think a one year old in your hand and then when you were done holding out of a child past that one year old off to another level you're all talking about that experience and what you saw in terms of the kids in the orphanage there the thing that struck me is how young of the country it is and when people come to me and asked me you know what is haiti need as i say that haiti needs schools they need education they need to be able to learn how to be self-sufficient self-sustaining and to not always be reliant on foreign aid which is equivocal to large corporations and large countries paying themselves and saying that they're donating

money to tell you i read that you said foreign aid is this is it deceptive i'm not saying that all of it is i want to clarify that i'm in no way shape or form ungrateful or i'm trying to discount the support that. haiti has gotten from every major i did see from a country to a corporation because they have saved people's lives they have pulled people out of rubble they've done an extraordinary amount of things but i think that there is a level of corruption that exists to meet the surface when we talk about foreign aid when we talk about donating to a cause when we talk about the fees that are incurred for certain aid organizations that have what is it forty percent off the top they go to their expenses and i think it's a little disingenuous but. that's my opinion but when i look at haiti and what it signifies when i see that someone who is eleven years old worrying about raising

three other kids around them younger than them it really. struck a chord according to the new york times only five percent of the. the rubble has actually been removed do you see that with your own eyes what did it look like when you were walking through absolutely as you go through port au prince and the surrounding areas and you'll see buildings that are still collapsed their. counterpart to the white house is still in shambles broken down people are trying to build rebuild their own independent businesses. on the rubble itself you know that making every desperate tempted they can to take. whatever structure is still left and build something out of it. when we talk about their safety and what their living conditions are what i saw is that the people who are inside the tent cities there are usually about two or three families per ten so when you look at those

tents it's a little misleading because it's like oh they're fine now they have a tent you know no they don't and that's fine you know what happens when hurricane season comes how those tents going to hold up to that you know i think that there is something to look at in terms of a long term vision of what is going to happen in the country who's in to be in control of it now it's it's a military state it's a police state run by america and the u.n. and the u.n. at interchangeable entities sometimes i want to ask you about that because you were a little harsh in terms of the united nations that what it has gone or has not done for haiti despite the promises that have been made. by the united nations and independently by the united states what do you think the interests are when we talk about people's interests and whether they're genuine. it's hard to say i'm sure some people's interests are very much genuine i'm sure there are people on the

ground level and people who are below that is executive food chain that sit there and say you know what i'm trying to do something good for the people. trying to go out there i lost my in order to make that happen but i don't think they're the ones that desire the program the ones that design the protocol you know just the worker bees very well paid worker bees but they don't know how the hive is being formed do they haitians believe from what they told you that the u.s. is going to fulfill the promises that it has made in order to help them help them rebuild the younger ones are they really are very positive people. no matter what life throws at them it's like we're going to get through this and if the u.s. is willing to partner with us and help us then hopefully they'll state they'll stay true to their word so they're hopeful whereas when i talk to some of the. old days

you know they look at it as oh here's the country they kidnapped or at last president has a country has been involved in supporting you know brutal dictatorships for decades really we're here to help haiti right now has an opportunity to completely rebuild that system. from scratch what do you think is going to happen and how do you think it's going to happen it's a country that lives under military occupation right now a list the haitian people a proactive about taking control of it themselves they will fire. the terms of their republic dictated to them by other people. outside entities. not just governments but corporations what do you encourage. those that want to help to do if you really want to involve yourself in it. then teach them that you know i mean if you're a doctor go down there. work in a clinic down there understood if you're.
