you know sports in brazil is of course football it's like a religion here but despite that later on sunday it could well be that arch rivals argentina they were celebrating. so that's artie's paul scott reporting for us there from rio de janeiro and now we go to. hazaaron where our teams in your view are standing by with more one of twelve russian cities because and where they'll be hosting matches for the world cup tournament set for twenty team tell us more about how those preparations are going just. you know very good actually it's a new team out it is actually said one of the host cities for the twenty eight team will cup i just want to give you a feel for the place so quickly here a few facts and figures first of all is and is the capital of the russian republic of tatarstan the population of just over one point one million people makes it russia's eighth biggest city. friendly city i look around you find it was full of the signs here translated into english also city that has

a reputation for its beautiful architecture there's no better example of that than fortunately for you the side of our camera the kremlin now this is a willed heavy teach site i did take a look around it earlier today and i was interested to find that there you have a church and a mosque situated practically shot by side i think but it goes some way to enjoy the reputation as design which is of being a place where muslims interest you can co-exist very peacefully side by side like that probably not too many people know about the cities that in two thousand and nine the people of russia voted it the sports capital of the country ahead of places like moscow and st petersburg and it would seem that that's a reputation that's very well deserved if you just look at the kind of events that are taking place here last year it hosted the university out right now in fact as we speak the will fencing championships taking place and next year it'll be host of the world aquatics championships so an awful lot going on here in terms of sport it is of course. of the many host cities for the twenty eighth. i was lucky enough to

take a trip around some of the other cities to see how the preparations are going there find out more. twenty eight hundred feet for both ladies and gentlemen to be organized. back in two thousand and ten it was all smiles as russia defied the odds to be named host of the twenty eight world cup. victory came along as he sank to a slick promotional video which pledged to develop football among the country's you . with another big selling point was russia's ambitious plan to build several new stadia which will keep games could be plate for years on how exactly is not planned looking of the twelve stadiums to be used for under construction there in killeen the drought grass. he said mara the move should be rolling soon enough with those

projects to be underway by the end of this year and meanwhile the progress at some of the other venues has given russia real cause to celebrate. well here in sochi there should be no problem whatsoever the fish stadium is tried and tested during the olympics it proved itself to be a great success that will be one or two slight alterations needed in order to turn it into a football stadium but they're only minor. this one of a success for the host nation. this is the arena and boy is this a versatile stadium because last year they hosted the world student games next year they'll put into swimming pools for the staging of the championships and after that it will be converted into a football stadium. in the russian capital there are two very different projects taking place with the new stadium going up just as an old one gets down first as they spot tax day. high tech high cost ground that in order to protect its pitch

from the harsh winters he sees in the very latest technologies and they include footballs equivalent of the giant head drawing any additions system dish was to the profile of the joy with all the shell hit single. and warhol of the sophos keeping the chance to show as it should be and also with what i have may watch lights and legs that will pop up half the pitch which will be in lights all day every day so here is the spot that stated in oh its glory the playing surface is looking absolutely spectacular while the infrastructure is just days away now from completion it took four years of work and four hundred thirty million dollars of investment to get us to this point and it sees the stadium spot tack on the brink of becoming the new kid on moscow's footballing blockbuster if you're one of those clowns who prefers you'll stadium to be a little bit bigger about how seventy

a bit more history and there really is only one place to go. and that's here to the luzhniki which in twenty eight team will host both the opening game of the tournament and the big one the world cup final however in order to look the part for the big occasion the ground old lady of russian football is having to undergo a monumental make over. by make of what i really mean is it's been completely gutted which is a bit now some found in this field of the truth of losing the stadium that's filled with so many memories just like a ninety nine ninety one miscue that there just to be on at the moscow olympics. the sun shouldn't be too sound because while the inside smog be new the facades of the luzhniki set to remain which means that it's not really good by more case the

on friends is not acceptable then it was revealed that mrs merkel's private cell phone was bugged by the n.s.a. washington promised not to do it again but refused to sign a no spy deal bilin still wanted to talk trade and rebuilding of trust between the transatlantic partners flash forward to april of this year when germany's request to see the chancellor's n.s.a. file was turned down even then it was content to stand side by side with the u.s. president as he again spoke of their close friendship but the discovery of two potential double agents in germany and his many weeks and a lack of cooperation from the u.s. with the investigations looks like the final straw and it will be interesting to see what effect the expulsion of the cia official will have on an already strained u.s. german relationship now that berlin has shown its willingness to act peter all of
