it's five pm here in moscow this is r.t. coming to you live now a thanks for being with us first up this hour the fight for the right to host football's world cup has entered its final stage with candidate countries making their last presentations russia's bid for the twenty eight hundred tournament is said to be one of the strongest but it faces stiff competition from western europe tests are cilia is covering events from the sea from media center in zurich. now a big names have been arriving here in zurich and the media had their stakeout in front of hotels where the the important people are staying now as you know the actual voting for and who will win the hosting rice of the world cup twenty eight thousand and twenty twenty two will take place tomorrow but presentations have already started as we speak australia is making its a final presentation to fifa now russia will make there's a tomorrow their final pitch to the judges but before we get into that let's have a little bit of a back out and have a look at russia's bid which is twenty eighteen we believe this banner at russia's

latest international friendly describe how france felt about russia getting the world cup but does the country with a rich football tradition stand a chance of becoming hosts i the dutch coach of the national team certainly hopes so even though his home country is among the big. we need the world to. infrastructure. because the majority of the. many experts agree with that notion believing that russia lags behind its rivals in terms of infrastructure but that is about to change according to those behind moscow's bid this is the denominator stadio moscow's oldest this is where history's greatest football goalkeeper russian spent his glittering career the game's legend did not live to see his home ground being transformed it is now

under construction to become. stadium. plans to build sixteen stadiums for the world cup games a graphic presentation shows clearly that all grounds will be high tech the head of russia's bidding committee says even if it loses the right to host the cup it has won in other ways. and every promise that we have. to the is being fulfilled right now as it was paid. we do have a lot of things to build but it's it's no secret and we have already started that even. the first choice out of sixteen stadiums will be built regardless of the outcome of the december second footballers playing both in russia and abroad are relishing the prospect of playing on world class pitches but they say russia needs the world cup to both revive its one strong for book traditions and to open

the country to the rest of the footballing world. will be playing at that cup anyway but i think it will be the biggest victory for my country if it gets this. game brings brings people together. it's a great tournament even to south africa. you know and something like that is a huge thing and i'm for the people who are short broken. experts say thursday's voting in zurich will be completely unpredictable the british press however believes that russia's bid and the joint one of spain portugal are favored to win the russian delegation hopes it will be able to impress the fee for executive committee just as russia's elim big b. team did in guatemala to win the winter games for sochi. russia. reporting from moscow well as we've heard there's still a lot of work to be done in russia but officials behind the russian bed are not looking at this as a disadvantage in fact they see this as an advantage a potential for growth and development in terms of football as well as legacy what

the legacy behind could be massive now joining me to talk a little bit more about this is r.t. sports presenter andrew farmer adjure russia is pulling out the big guns that was the latest from the camp site the big guns but the big news at the moment is that prime minister putin will not be coming to europe he says he does not want to put pressure on the feet the executive committee which will vote tomorrow not a logic behind it is that mr putin was largely credited with. during the winter olympics in sochi twenty fourteen to russia haiti end up in guatemala i see you then gave the vote to russia but this time around he says he wants russia to win the debate on its own merits and therefore he does not want to be saying to be putting more leaning on the decision makers but big names will be here the vice prime minister eager she valar for lead the bid presentation also coming like today's the russia captain. as well as the chelsea iron man after him over each

speaking about scandals how the two officials had been suspended by fifo will remain suspended now this could possibly be good for russia couldn't it it could do does mean twenty two members will vote tomorrow the winning bid will need twelve but it does leave a possible situation where there could be two change left on the eleven votes each if that happens the face of president sepp blatter would have the casting vice and he's been making some good noises about russia over recent weeks so who knows if russia has left in that final round of voting and is tied with another beating nation it could well guy to russia all right well russia will be making the final presentation tomorrow they will be resenting of course the technical side of their pitch but as well as appalling a few hearts raise up is that because for all sides of russia now russia will be the last one presenting it who knows this could also work to russia's advantage. here with our t.v. live from moscow coming up later in the program self christmas present for the f.b.i.

. in travel we go in traveling is getting someone to do something that they wouldn't normally do the arrest of an alleged terrorist suspects sparks criticism of anti terror tactics in the u.s. as agents themselves help him plot. also coming up missile defense for europe must be addressed and u.s. officials should watch what they say we reveal details of my dear prudence interview with american t.v. veteran larry king. but first another eurozone country another threat of an imminent well out italy is the third largest economy that uses the euro and there are fears it may start plunging in the same direction as greece and ireland with the euro failing the amount of money it cost rome to lend to debt ridden countries is rising dramatically spain portugal and belgium are also at risk of being pulled into the crisis doubts about the future of the single currency and the e.u. itself have been intensified by french protests sweeping across europe people are

angry at facing savard costs to pay for it all european parliament member nigel farrar says countries are trapped inside the euro zone and to get out to save their economies. if spain went down remember that the debt they've got is about seven times the size of them so we'd be talking there about three hundred fifty billion euros in italy because still so you get to a point where there is no bailout money whether you're i would it's current for would cease to exist i don't know whether that will happen in the next few weeks but it remains a real possibility that ok but in fairness that the european commission president said on sunday that the eurozone isn't to blame for greece and the problems in the world is going to be much worse without the year i was in there's some truth in that there is not a single piece of evidence for those claims by the rosy. point whatsoever listen when arlen joined the euro there were people like me saying there was no benefit

for the country as most of their overseas trade was denominated in sterling or dollars anyway and that to join the euro they would have to have artificially low interest rates and for the first seven or eight years of their membership of the euro irish rates were three to four percent lower than they would have been had the irish kept the point what that meant was that the property boom became the most massive speculative bubble and that's why the bust is as bad as it is and now. finds herself in the euro where euro zone interest rates are going to head up over the next couple of years at the very moment that they're trapped inside a deflationary downward spiral or whether you are over the course of justice into their foreign may i mean look at the case of britain then as in an e.u. member signed up to take the benefits of european harmony isn't it right that they treat pain when times are hard you can't have a cake and eat it while any. well let's examine what these benefits are show way i've been here for eleven years as an m.e.p.

and i was i was struggling to find them because if what we're talking about is free trade is the ability of companies to buy and sell goods from our next door neighbor in countries look the swiss do that without being you members little we do that without being members so if what the united kingdom wants is free trade she can have that without being part of a club that makes three thousand new rules for us every year and cost us a membership fee of nearly fifty million pounds a day and the seven billion pounds that the british government has said it will guarantee for the irish frankly is money poured down the drain what we should be doing a sign to our friends in our land we will help you come out of the euro and get back to having your own currency otherwise frankly we're wasting this money despite all the troubles for example the stonier is looking to join the euro by two thousand and eleven i should say why would the zone accept new members and made all this struggle. because this is an empire mr gross said i think two years ago he

said that the european union was the first ever nonmilitary empire and what empires try to do is expand so they'll have it into the euro and they'll try and make sure join the european union next year of the year after they think that all the while they're expanding people will say well it must be going well and it will take their attention away from what's going on with him sadly it's too late and all the opinion polls show that in germany in greece in britain in our in the right across the european union increasingly the publics of europe are holding the political class that have done this to them in increasing contempt. nigel ferrars there an m.e.p. speaking to my colleague carrie johnston you can watch the full interview on our website r.t. dot com or on our you tube channel. now meanwhile anger at the u.k.'s government's deficit cutting measures can take years to wrong as thousands have marched through london's streets on another day of nationwide action in protest against plans to raise university tuition fees to previous demonstrations spilled over into violence

but stephen davis from the into to economic affairs says the government is facing the consequences of a flawed policy what is going on at the moment is that there's a huge series of unexploded bombs of various countries which is being passed around a rather gruesome game of press the parcel from one sort of taxpayers to another it was passed on to the irish taxpayer it's proved too much for them and it's now effectively being passed on to the european taxpayers including the british ones what is needed is a mechanism for the orderly winding up of insolvent banks and financial institutions and that's what we don't spike two years which we could have worked out. well is more stories for you on our website that's r t dot com here's a quick look at what else you'll find there right now trick look trade our special god gives you the products and pitfalls of buying food in moscow as markets and the rules of successful bargaining. also legendary clues are wrong is officially

decommission but that's crude disbanded over ninety years after frying the shop which started the pulse of it revolution all the details at r.t. dot com. the organization for security and cooperation in europe is losing its influence and needs to be modernized in the words of russia's president dmitri medvedev has been visiting the cause a capital of us and its house as it hosts the first summit of the fifty six member group in a decade russia also wants to reboot relations with the group which suffered after the country withdrew from the european conventional arms treaty three years ago the decision came after the us announced its missile defense plans in europe also at the summit president medvedev has once again pushed his initiative to create

a pan european security treaty but he's not going to do with the new treaty we have proposed would be aimed at guaranteeing common security for europe i think everyone who supports it is it's been discussed for two and a half years maybe the stereotypes of the cost is still strong and this initiative is ahead of its time but its turn will inevitably come. when russia is looking to build greater stability across europe and asia especially near its borders that's according to victor mizzen a political analyst from moscow's institute of strategic assessment who says such conditions are important for the country's modernization of russia is not seeking any kind of confrontation of course believe. where some call it salted stuff goes where to feel it is for any kind of reforms but what russia wants it's a very secure environment just personally on its border because we need it for the

good if they show up and i think the russian diplomacy was the way back to you. personally in the last year and we're going forward very interesting the very innovative also these so you draft three d. on european security including. well the russian premier of lead singer putin has also been discussing the country's security policy in an interview with american t.v. host larry king he says moscow wants to become an equal partner new plans for european missile defense otherwise it could lead to a new arms race when asked about the latest wave of wiki leaks putin said it was no catastrophe because it was such a poorly kept secret however he did lashed out at the of susman of his relations with president medvedev saying the comparison to batman and robin was arrogant and an ethical who didn't interview airs wednesday evening in the u.s. and he's likely to be the last statesman to appear on larry king live as the

veteran interviewer in soon to retire. now it's been hailed as a coup for u.s. national security the capture of a terror suspect accused of planning to set off a bomb at an annual christmas tree lighting ceremony as artie's anastasio turkana reports many believe it's a case of entrapment where agents have been groomed the nineteen year old some of the american for the crime. this winter season the f.b.i. so a breeze the reason the arrest of a potential terrorist but a little something is wrong with this picture over the eighteen months they cultivated him the alleged plot or is a teenager a bomb he planted a fake and the f.b.i. allegedly wouldn't you lated him into committing a crime entrapment is not illegal entrapment is getting someone to do something that they would normally do the guy named muhammad had his e-mails tracked by authorities while they waited for the right time to get him to act against u.s.

national security and the f.b.i. steve said with every step of the way because he started to seduce fifteen years old four years x. amount of money and efforts from the f.b.i. later the sting mission comes to a close the nineteen year old is accused of plotting to blow up a christmas tree in portland oregon the language used against him in f.b.i. records is all too familiar. to the sensitive american and even though the device was. fake here spread like bacteria the threat was very very real. media images were quick to portray what could have and would have happened had the bomb been real. becoming yet again not a watchdog but an echoing voice of authorities along this terrorism stuff i think is kind of embarrassing for most of the media the way the f.b.i. is official word on whatever is just taken as the truth but the obvious truth to some is what's not addressed at all when it comes to national security and

terrorism it just sort of stops all conversation it's chilling conversation you immediately assume i want to be protected the f.b.i. will protect me and and therefore whatever it says is true when often it isn't the case dubbed the christmas tree plot or it's far from the first to bring to light the practice of entrapment in the us convincing pursuing and tricking the eventually accused has become systematic according to some and they can come after you and they can manufacture crimes against you and they can make up a whole case and put you through the whole thing and eventually if they can persuade a jury that this manufactured case is valid you can go away to jail for a very long time and with the case being built against muhammad not just by officials but by the media to what would have been a catastrophic event at this christmas tree lighting the destiny of the u.s. citizen turned water with a little help from the f.b.i. seems clear to the problem is that you know in court cases people juries believe

the f.b.i. they are the f.b.i. they've been you know we've been indoctrinated to believe that the f.b.i. can do no wrong of course there are many many cases where the f.b.i. has done a lot of wrong the rule of law enforcement is to catch the bad guys so that the good guys we'll see for good when criminals are not just caught by officials but i . also created the idea of national security becomes just made up as the. interpol has issued a warrant for the founder for the founder of the whistle blowing web site wiki leaks julian a song swedish authorities want to question him over an alleged sex offense which he denies and dismisses as part of a smear campaign the current whereabouts of a songe is not known it was on sunday that his web site started to leak more than two hundred thousand private american diplomatic cables the complete set of documents is due to be published online sorte lee many analysts and politicians say

the leaks offer little that wasn't known already investigative journalist ross baker says too many people could have had access to the information gathered by wiki leaks. these documents which are not top secret they're low grade classified documents that they were accessible to a huge number of people perhaps several million people through this military service the reason this happened in the first place was because after nine eleven the concern was that there wasn't enough sharing of information and that made sense that they wanted to make semi risky things available to a large cross-section of people in the military in the state department and other parts of government the whole story is very complicated because one does wonder how it's even possible though that somebody could download this vast quantity of documents without triggering any kind of an alarm there are a lot that could be built into systems and it would be of the most basic sort of security measure. this is going up to twenty one minutes past the hour let's take

a look at some world news in brief for you tend to. take you to rise after the south announced plans for more artillery fire and drills because right after south korea wrapped up joint military exercises with the u.s. the north has condemned the operation and said that any attacks directed towards that answered major powers in the region including russia china and japan are planning a merchant who talks to confront a crisis. a funeral procession has been held to rein in nuclear scientists. was killed on monday morning. and had to slogans against the u.s. and israel they believe there are times to say that by killing the scientists and it means are trying to halt the country's nuclear projects sorry already it was killed by a bomb which had been attached to his car by a motorcyclist. let's check out the latest from the world of business view would be a is here next.
