the remembering the creamy that used to feel the most acutely to the world the rubens hotel. sealing the deal with the twenty eighteen world cup in the bag all that's left is for russian officials and feet to work out the game plan. i'll bring you all the latest. ceremony will be taking place. as the host of the. recap of the week's top stories political crash poland plans to restage the flight that killed its president and ninety five others comes after a russian report plane's pilot error something walsall does not fully accept. comment karzai makes an official visit to moscow the first by the afghan leader in decades trade on the drug problem dominated talks with president medvedev both sides committing to supporting each other. russian born eagle immigrant is to be

deported from norway prompting outrage and protests human rights groups accuse the government of double standards and immigration laws. while news and much more when you're watching a weekly news or if you first to russia has already touched the right to host the twenty eighteen world cup safely into the net now it's time to do some strategic planning with fifa its president sepp blatter is in st petersburg officially passing one of the world's greatest sporting events to the country. is in the northern capital for us and this is the first time russia has to host the world cup present fully realize what an opportunity is been given do you think. yes i think it's certainly time to sink in it's just a couple of months now since the announcement was made it would be hosting.

the moment. if you will. talk about it. already this morning with prime minister vladimir putin was very good in the process meeting some of the delegates from facebook to try and convince them that russia was the place that they should put their votes in and they should put the king of the tournament to know he also flew out to. be announcement was made a very impressive speech to say that he could believe that the country could pull this off and he's also said this morning that the experience gained by the protest preparations to be put in place ahead of the sochi winter olympics will be held in russia that's helping them and that's going to help them when it comes to hosting this tournament seven years time. we would like to use the experience we've already gained in preparing for the still

she winter olympics and twenty fourteen will be working closely together with the international olympic committee and we very constructive business relationship with them i would like to ask you to point specialists to come and work here together with us to be present from the very first day of our common interest rise and take part in the entire process of preparing for the twenty. experience from the preparations start she will help the world cup preparations to be made for seventy seven years time mr blatter also the key for president of. russia's chances he said he was looking forward to working closely with the russian government that he would be providing people from. advice and consultants to. preparing for this tournament every did say that ultimately. the final. book stops really with the russian government they have to be able to. have.

twenty eight. very pleased that the russian government is playing a direct role in organizing the world com i can assure you that we will work together very closely on this joint venture. will provide support but the lion's share of responsibility rests on russia i'm certain that the world will be at the highest possible level and will turn into a charity event. remains to be done to make sure. i think there are no illusions that just. a lot of the a lot of the emphasis was based on potential during the bidding process for. russia saying what they could do also a lot of the stadiums that are going to be used in twenty eighteen have been built yet we're looking at. building program will have to go underway building homes not

to stadiums but also hotels as well as transport links to be able to get the thousands of fans on the teams of course they'll be coming over here around the country safely and quickly and efficiently in order to make sure that everybody can enjoy this tournament the russian already does have some very very top quality stadiums think about the luzhniki stadium in moscow of course the host of the the two thousand and eight champions league final was a success they're hoping for a similar kind of success under the facelift for that stadium you stadiums are going to be built. stadiums almost finished in fact here in st petersburg where i am right now also. in soft cheek as well as of the city so there's an awful lot of work needs to be done and it seems that the russian authorities behind this they know how much needs to be done and they were looking to for any help that they can give them. a few years down. yet but what's a rush doing to make choice not just hosting but also truly competing in the world

cup. well of course russia has never won the world cup they. are looking to develop the into the international side a couple of years ago in the european championships they were a great team they came really want over the hearts and minds of all of a lot of the neutrals with the style of their play fortunately except by not qualifying for the twenty ten world cup finals was a big blow to russian international football that we look to put that behind them and move on and mr blatter himself has said that there's no reason in the future why russia couldn't be potential world cup winners as long as they keep developing so it's something that although it's quite a few years off to be quite risky to try and to try to predict the winner of a world cup. but russia will certainly be hoping they can develop grassroots football and make sure they can bring through places that maybe have got a chance of trying to win the trophy. more your predictions later i'm sure hotties piece of reporting from cent pieces back thank you. i mean to some other news now

poland is planning to recreate the flight to the death of its president in russia southwest staple reconstruction is to follow up on the findings of the official crash report that cited pilot error among the main causes. explains why the polar side has so far refused to fully accept its conclusions. polish prime minister donald tusk attempting to calm an increasingly angry parliament this week polish government wants the truth to be complete and we realize that being convenient to many there is a complex number of causes for the crash it's convenient to blame the pilots the current oppression for others it will be convenient to blame the russians but it won't be the whole truth the organization that seeks the truth must be influenced by forces in poland that wanted to be over there but opposition leaders don't seem

to be heeding the call intent and avoiding full responsibility for april's plane crash there flooding the polish media with conspiracy theories and enraged accusations. in light of what we know today. there wasn't necessarily a new pressure they were radically misled. and this was a cause of the accident the. fault is on the russian the question that is what is this grief talking or shrewd political ambition in the parliamentary election not far off it suggested that claiming the interstate aviation committee's report was biased and incomplete is a sure fire way to run. but even those who accept the findings have issues with the way that they're represented poland has been very critical of the report commissioned for instance for not publishing including reports in the stands or transcript of conversations off air controllers with the plane the commission has

now post that transcript on its website as if post-fact recognizing the address the sooner the polish people it's a painful subject especially as it brings back some uncomfortable memories about the flights of high level officials. in august two thousand and eight a presidential air crew threatened with the sack after refusing to land side in bad weather conditions. there's also a question of insufficient training raised after crash also in two thousand and eight which killed a number of polish military personnel that's why some feel that accepting full responsibility for this man's tragedy would be almost like admitting it could have been prevented and you want for good. health to handle a difficult three and this is a difficult truth be the coolest things in these rules which some responsibility away for most of the situation the pressures clear the drive to keep politics from

interfering with improving relations between moscow and more so while amounting domestic agenda makes that a tough task regardless of who is to blame the sheer magnitude of this crash and the human tragedy of it are undeniable that's why officials both in russia and poland have called for the memories of those who lost lives and smile and to be respected for the polish opposition however the promise of potential political leverage could turn out to be a lot more tempting kashrut as are the r.t.e. moscow. you're watching r.t. you still to come few this hour life in prison to those two russian arms traffic to boot could face fines found guilty by the u.s. courts but his lawyers are set to challenge the rest of the government's attempts to prosecute him. money talks. you sure can still inventions in the fund this is dividing finance ministers. pressure is set to support are

going to start after western forces begin withdrawing from the war torn country in three years time president very have made the pledge after talks with his afghan counterpart herman karzai. the two leaders also place the battle against the illegal drug trade among the top priorities well it's a nice a no way has more. on the first official visit of an afghan leader to moscow in two decades russia promises to lend a hand after western forces leave the war torn country. russia would like to see afghanistan as an independent and prosperous state with an effective government that's able to provide the development of afghanistan for decades to come and the. u.s. led coalition forces have been in the country since two thousand and one and are planning to withdraw combat forces in three years leaving afghanistan on its own russia has been watching u.s. operations very closely from a far more providing necessary transit routes for supplies and plan to continue

support once the pullout is complete there is both the ability to russia and the the need for russian afghanistan to engage with. not only in a manner of russia helping afghanistan rebuild itself and free we develop its u two schilke ok. capacity but also by the off trade investment by interaction between our businesses which is very strong the two countries signed a trade and business cooperation deal over the past few years russian afghan trade turnover has increased more than four fold and is now half a billion u.s. dollars president got as i mentioned his country's developing economic relationship with the united states but the relationship with russia is developing at a larger scale again we should go back to history more than one hundred four to enterprises were built by the soviet union. karzai agreed to prioritize the fight

against narcotics since russia bears the brunt of afghanistan's found drugs production industry russia hoped that international forces could crush extremism and get. officials maybe they could be able to stop the influx of drugs common in russia. americans. said clearly have failed in fighting the fans and that for now of course russian officials have to deal with the problem of talking directly to the leaders of the two main threats coming out of afghanistan drugs and terrorism no one feels that hit closer to home more than russia was pledging to help develop support for the war torn country without ever having a russian soldier stepped foot on afghan soil and he's now a r t moscow. he has been speaking exclusively to the afghan president during his first official visit to russia about cobbles mounting problems on his role in

solving them and giving you the full interview with having in the next hour. demonstrators took to the streets of norway on saturday protesting against the deportation of a russian born illegal immigrant area i mean who was once named in the region of the year has lived in the country for almost a decade but failed in her bid for asylum and despite huge support among locals it seems she's losing the battle to stay in the place she calls him there and it reports most of the. the clock is ticking for many as her supporters gather in central oslo for what may be the last time to protest her deportation from the country she's learnt to call home as things stand i merely could be sent to russia within days leaving behind her friends the land she grew up in but this is no longer just about money with her book illegal norwegian and her activism she's

managed to draw attention to the plight of all people struggling to stay in norway those without papers have no access to work education or health care and can't even get married before i may leave very few talks about it but they are now i receive every. possibility to have to have the same rights now i think. this movement in support of or her specific case. can develop into a movement supporting all the people in her situation it's a cause that unites different groups from organizations that campaigned specifically for illegal immigrants and asylum seekers to renowned human rights groups like amnesty everyone here has a story to tell and this family and their friends are no exception we are here today with a mother and two children who has a legal say in their way they have all papers passports permissions they need but

their father he was not that said the. when he. came to seek asylum so we're here to protest that they're splitting families to get rid of a one more immigrant they're demanding better rights and they see emily as their poster girl born medina salam of a north a settler her family fled when she was twelve they were denied asylum in norway but stayed anyway over the years amalie learned to speak fluent norwegian and to most his degree and a job offer but the government insists she's illegal and must go. her lawyer says that could happen within days it doesn't lose so very optimistic at the moment. there is still. the immigration authorities might rethink the case because. they've also sending new information to them all the time. that's happened. several times each day. it's not usually due to anything there might be

a court hearing on monday or tuesday but. under the precondition that she saw in the country are but whatever happens to emily her mark has been made these people are mobilized in value to protect all those without papers in no way which could be as many as twenty thousand out of a total population of only five million media i believe has succeeded in highlighting the plight of asylum seekers in norway they were previously seen as a group with little to offer and no resources to protect themselves but emily has a huge number of friends and the ninety thousand members of her facebook page a testament to the level of support she enjoys the influence they enjoyed looks limited with her deportation almost a certainty. on the way nuclear talks end in stone eight point one of the latest round of negotiations on a program if you didn't know breakthrough russia still thinks progress.

the defense team says they're ready to challenge a u.s. government move to prosecute the alleged russian arms dealer he's being held in new york pending trial on terrorism charges for september is found guilty of boot faces a minimum of twenty five years in prison russian government believes his extradition to the u.s. from thailand was politically motivated and. one firearm for every twelve people on the planet are required. and only army either alive and. that's hollywood's take on forty four year old russian cargo dealing business men victor boot but in real life is he really the merchant of death or the lord of war or simply a victim of propaganda u.s. prosecutors are not thinking twice about which label to pick the so-called merchant of death is now a federal inmate the american media months ahead of trial also have their mind made

up this is the lord of war. the merchant of death all right and you've got him in your hands when he's in custody it's a great feeling presumption of innocence out the window all these nicknames exist for one man. who has not committed any criminal activity and has not been found guilty neither in the us nor in any other country in america however he faces four charges. one conspiring to kill united states nationals two conspiring to kill united states officers and employees three conspiring to use an acquire anti-aircraft missiles and for conspiring to provide material support to the far the united states has been eager to lay hands on boot for almost a decade there is no osama bin ladin no al qaida no problems in afghanistan no problems in iraq there is only victor boot the evil man upon the request of u.s.

officials victor boot was arrested in thailand in two thousand and eight after two years of fighting for freedom in a thai court and found not guilty twice was snatched up by american officials and taken to the u.s. with sirens and an airplane in the middle of the night building all the hype of a hollywood blockbuster but curiously boots case technically remains in thailand according to russian lawyers his case to this moment remains in a thai court would your well being there was no official decision of an extradition meanwhile an international arms trafficker by america picture is in solitary confinement in a manhattan prison his wife was held at the airport for almost three hours upon her arrival to the big apple the first glimpse of victor at friday's technical hearing i don't think he's in the best state i'm worried about his health both physical and mental ever the case against what was probably what happened to him a kidnapping. i can accept the possibility that victor boot might have some

information that might be of. interest to someone but why is it that other countries don't just think to themselves that there is someone who has some interesting information and why don't those governments just drag those people onto their territory defense team file motions questioning how and why the man was brought to the us as well as whether or not recordings used against picture were obtained in accordance with the thai law picture but stands confident that he is the victim of a propaganda war launched in america and maintains his innocence the defense team now has forty five days to present for motions to the judge the i'm awful most i'll be extradition of big trouble to the united states is one of the key elements among them a trial date for now has been set for september twelfth if found guilty by the u.s. federal court victor boot could face up to a life sentence behind bars and parties. well the powers

involved in the latest talks with iran over its nuclear program say they're disappointed with the outcome foreign policy chief baroness ashton says iran isn't cooperating enough to remain under u.n. sanctions to further talks of plant. green wouldn't just include its right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes remain international consider trying to develop nuclear weapons charge the country denies russia's deputy foreign minister sergei minister says while on a deal. to turn to face. those are not. i wouldn't agree that these talks failed i think there was an important opportunity that was used by both parties to move dialogue forward i would say i am encouraged by the outcome but to put it that i am squarely disappointed would be no worse statement my hope is that after the stumble around. the

rainy and part the will consider in a very serious manner. his eight years on specific proposals that have been put forward as a russia sells as i believe many in the world. equally . share this view that there is no other way there is no alternative to the negotiations and in gauge minute effort everything else is you know. a deadlock we need to continuously further negotiations effort this is what russia intends to do in the period after east and. russia's deputy foreign minister sergei of it cough that now this week usa finance ministers met in brussels for two days of talks whether it's a boost the e.u. bailout fund for its floundering states while many supported the drive six of the

wealthiest nations including france and germany indicated they were reluctant to pour in yet more money u.k. anything nigel for raj says increasing the funds will keep struggling even then this in an economic prison. i think what they're doing here is they're reinforcing failure at the end of the day countries like greece and portugal and ireland and possibly. should never have joined the euro in the first place trapped inside an economic prison with a whole set of policies that. i think the more we build up. the more in effect we're pouring. and this really is a tragedy because these people. you know. we have mass demonstrations we have had people actually killed on the streets. together then the conditions in those countries are going to get worse and what it really is a frank assessment which is there is an argument. with germany and holland and

a few countries possibly france as well but there is an optimal. but. for the north and south of europe to be stuck inside a union is never ever going to work but nobody inside these institutions wants to face up to the e.c.b. buying up its debt and now with this with this agreement in brussels that the stability of doing the same thing you know you begin to ask yourself down the track well the european central bank itself actually be. a liquid functioning. all we are doing we're reinforcing failure decision is quite extraordinary and it's rather like boarding the titanic after it hit the iceberg it is the most incredible . look what you've got here behind this whole european project when we talk about the unit itself although we talk about the current say we have

a political class who want this you know even countries like switzerland and norway who very sensibly have stayed outside the union who have. agreements with it even in those countries a majority of politicians. it's a battle between the political leaders. which increasingly is. public opinion. because. without the consent of the people. there's never been. that was u.k. and a.p. nigel for us there now are some of the day's other international news in brief for you. this will say at least thirty two people have been killed after the bus collided with oil to western pakistan nine others were injured in the accident say the bus carrying fifty passengers was controlled crashed into
