nicky stadium now that was the focal point for the two thousand and eight champions league final that was held here in russia something in the success of that final certainly something i think that would have been in the minds of people voting to pick russia to be the host nation for the world cup the success of putting on not the champions league final night and how well it went down around europe and around the world showing that russia come put on these huge or types of events put that stadium as well that dilution of the stadium will face a major overhaul as well as new stadiums that are being built in st petersburg and say to me finished and cazan a new stadium almost finished as well were you seeing stadiums built in. and as well as in sochi because she hosting the olympics in a couple of years' time no also going to be getting ready for the third he will cope a few years later on the not so the v. a new stadium built there as well but really the work just starting as far as planning and as far as building goes to make sure that russia is ready to host the storm and in eight years time. all right peter oliver live from moscow thank you

very much for that. well of course a big day for russia winning the world cup bid for twenty eighteen now as russia of course waited for this announcement we heard from we heard from the head of from the russia team we'll have that interview for you later today we're going to take a short break here in our to stay with us. thank you. thank. you. thank you thank

. you thank you thank you. thank you thank you thank you. thank you thank you thank you you. thank

. thank you these changes. there were fifty five thousand italy's top. ten seconds left to try and russia this week. he was featured so should discuss these since he was the youngest person to still be certainly the shortest it says that you do i believe that he should i'll show you who's going to take the kids decision was done usually was was was. with. thanks. was. was.

was a. social wake up it's your b. day. thank you he now following russ' spectacular win in the betting for the twenty eighteen world cup we'll bring you an exclusive interview with national football legend from there it goes i have about the beautiful day. this is to come on the. russian teams perform rather well in european rinks that seem to have trouble during decisive snatches in the champions league what does that indicate that. this girl put her foot but i wouldn't say that we can see considerable progress in russian football in recent years during the last five or six years are two clubs sany ten sysco one one of the most prestigious tournament since europe the away for cup the national team won bronze at the european

championships i think there is much progress at international level i mean a club football and individual teams earlier it was a grand event of a team made it in spring to the european cup series and today there is no such problem with the clubs have to do that karan temptations go much further than that but i'm sure that clubs like zinni and cisco are quite able not only to play in the champions league but also to achieve good results it's quite realistic. that the that's what do you believe russian clubs seem to lack in order to improve their performance through a. strange as it may sound quite short on infrastructure today i think the level of football played in russia is quite high and so the players' salaries are we have good players coming to russia now not some second grade legion is a can play is with established reputations but stadiums are

a problem there are no facilities for fans who were the most this is what we are lacking as for everything else it's all good i mean mass media coverage and there are lots of sports journalists commentators t.v. shows on football which show that there's a great interest. besides we're beginning to. he's into european football as well this is very important but we must have stadiums on top of that today we only have the new shiny key and even that stadium has an artificial pitch so i wish we had more stadiums in russia if we get them we will win the champions league i have no doubt about bands. who are sick well since russian players started playing in european clubs russian national team has not been able to show good results do you believe these two factors are connected. to know why i disagree you mean the

national table manners work yes well i think there was a mistake in the preparation and not in the preparation of players but in that of the coaching staff in my opinion with the players the national team had back then it was simply obliged to get to the world championships in south africa so its failure to do so is down to the coaching staff that's all part of the work of. the last two managers of the russian national teams were foreigners do you believe there are russian coaches who could fulfill that role successfully by going. you know i've always advocated one principle that the national team of any country and especially russia should be headed by a homegrown specialist they can't be two opinions on that and well today's football executives make different decisions but if we take a look at history the teams that won european and world cups were mostly coached by home specialists in particular if we take the highest achievements of soviet

football they were also made under soviet coaching this is why i think foreign coaches are not a panacea but rather a fashion trends that will fade soon besides i think we should be more patriotic in this respect them. i asked is there philosophy which you give to a team feel a sort of philosophy i give to my team is simple it's a philosophy that brings victory to any philosophy offensive or defensive is the right philosophy if it brings victory as the ultimate results are. and finally is there a lesson which huge or from football which you could pass on to the younger generations no matter whether they play football or not put bulls who were in the oval stall you know football has become more than just a sport these days it is a social phenomenon and a political game at the same time during major football events like the world cup not only separate countries but the whole world holds its breath as if waiting for

some miracle for us this is what a couple does for the young people who now go to sports schools and they see those folks all stars and they see how great tournament so one that not every one of them will be a great footballer that they will remember this experience and they will be strong healthy citizens of their country as well as them i have got a close case thank you very much for your time you're welcome.

questions over u.s. politicians and their stereotypical views secret diplomatic cables are just the latest in a string of documents released by the whistle blowing web site wiki leaks. now in an interview on prime time t.v. vladimir putin outlined the stark choice ahead on european defense either moscow becomes an equal partner or will be forced to put more missiles on its borders and it's going to can reports the russian prime minister also told larry king there will be no rivalry between him and to me in the upcoming presidential race. larry king started off with a question that is a beginning one not only in the west but also in russia will lives in europe with their run for office in two thousand and twelve what then basically said they'll figure something out with president medvedev sort of indicating that they are first of all partners with the current president and don't see each other as rivals took their eye actually larry king brought up the comical comparison with batman and

robin that comparison about a u.s. that one might gave to a russian leadership to the russian leadership in a classified cable hosted by we to make serious what prime minister what is that so that. you know that mr medvedev and i were tackling the issue of future cooperation which is actually come on how we were going to build up our relations when deciding on how to design the election campaign the presidential election in two thousand and eight we fully realize that many would try to sue to school within our common approach is building the state of russia and economic development it's because of cooperation is a significant factor in the country's internal political scene but frankly speaking we could not imagine that it was going to be done in such a bold pushy and impudent way such a claim is of course seem to be insulting us pride in provoking steps which would destroy the beneficial cooperation in managing the country i must say that we've got used to it already and i asked those who make such attempts to calm down. promise the ports and larry king certainly they have touched upon some major

international headlines for example larry asked about prism innovative three since they plan that that if washington then and nato don't figure out a joint sort of even approach to the planned missile defense shield in europe it could trigger an arms race and quickly made it very clear that it is the last thing russia would want russia's actions will only be in reaction he said and russia will never be the want to provoke an arms race. but if we receive very negative suggestions and moreover if there's an addition with threats in the form of a new missing a shiite new. the builders will have to maintain its security by taking certain managers new missile strike systems against the new threats in your own borders and create new missiles because it's not a choice we do not want it and it's not a threat in any way we're just talking about what it waiting for us in the case we can't reach an agreement on collaboration and that's it i repeat we do not want this little. talking about president obama have

a positive assessment of his our national effort to say he was thankful. for you know softening kind of the negative rather a cold wash ending practice for for the fact that he scrapped bush national missile defense planning in europe something that irritated washoe a lot. russian officials are brushing aside allegations released by whistle blowing web site wiki leaks they revealed secrets u.s. diplomatic cables claims the country is riddled with corruption and crime documents are the latest in a growing list of me coming from american officials and starting is very important i am now reports the brains have spilled all over washington. a global partner in peace or paranoid superpower hungry for secrets our diplomats are doing what diplomats do around the world every day which is filled relationships negotiate advance our interests and work to find common solutions to complex problems that's

what they do but according to documents released by wiki leaks in two thousand and nine u.s. diplomats around the world were in fact directed to gather saif i take details including facial images fingerprints iris scans and even d.n.a. from u.n. officials among the target and basters from russia china france and britain even secretary-general ban ki moon many people didn't understand what that meant to that mean the diplomats do spying on the side of the order of operation allegedly came from u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton and as the u.s. assumes the presidency of the security council today after these revelations will probably be seen as an undesirable distraction but little more it seems only belgium openly criticized washington for mixing diplomatic work and outright espionage the united nations is not in a position to comment on the authenticity of the document purporting to request information gathering activities official reaction from the u.n.

itself only went as far as reminding member states that international treaties per hit spying at the u.n. their response has been so weak to being spied on by the u.s. in large part because the u.s. is just you know it's the humor of the u.n. they pay a lot of the bills but they also have the ability to veto a second term for ban ki-moon the. us is the un's fattest financier said to contribute more than two and a half billion dollars in two thousand and eleven and this is not the first time the u.s. has been caught spying. back in two thousand and three in the lead up to the invasion of iraq the national security agency was reportedly conducting we're going to interrupt some live coverage on our breaking news of course russia has won its bid to host the world cup in twenty eighteen and we can now hear what the russian delegation has to say about securing that bid to host the world cup of russia twenty eighteen will come from the prime minister of the russian federation mr vladimir putin at nine pm c.e.t.

intellectual floor at the heart of american foreign policy because it shows that america at least the state department at any rate is the victim of a sort of political autism in other words a political in the billeted to deal with the other to deal with other people with all the difficulty and differences that that implies. let's take a look now at some world news in brief for you this hour three roadside bombs have exploded in the iraqi capital official say security forces and government employees were targeted in baghdad several people including five policemen were injured in the attacks which took place across the city during the morning rush hour it comes amid an increased wave of violence in the country following u.s. combat troops that stroll. in ivory coast opposition leader's office has been attacked as the deadline passed to release the results of sunday's presidential elections several people were reportedly killed as the violence broke out despite
