this is headlining right now calls intensify for britain's embattled prime minister to resign as crowds gather outside st this is the scene now many are criticizing response to wednesday's deadly. don't trust anonymous sources that's the warning that's being issued by the u.s. justice department which is urging the public to exercise caution against. here in st petersburg russia.

this is r.t. international. news center in moscow saturday afternoon at five pm it's three pm in london which is where we're going to start right now developments there outside downing street a crowd converged for may must go protesters calls grow for the u.k. prime minister to quit many see her position as untenable following not only her party's election upset but ten days ago but also her reaction to wednesday's graham tower block disaster in which at least thirty people have died the protesters say conservative government policies are ultimately to blame for that tragedy and i said it's an added impetus to the protest against a reason maze we can government which is taking place right now and why told it's as close as they can get to downing street. honest to say

a chuckle is that what's happening where you are. the love colinet indignation is really freaking me out here here if you can just take a look at all of this area outside ten downing street talks with people who have come out here to see to protest against any government and really the final straw after this of course the police failed election where she called the snap election to get the results mentioned would the final straw became this enormous tragedy with the friends. are there any people here. think other. people might find out who they want so they're saying that every measure this government or essentially what i'm sure it will decide should be they've been calling on the baby certainly out of the of the bill that has made so many people here is where she went to see the howard

k. . thank them because kerry of course i'm going to leave you this. building that was largely said to be filled with residents that were not necessarily the most well off with lots of questions asked about why is it that there were works done on the building that led to the cheaper material being used that many are saying led to the fire spreading much quicker and certainly asking why that was the case it would be more expensive he was. a more well off residents that are feeling that area around the power. that we do know that recently following this indication is supposed to be meeting with victims downing street today so we'll bring you more in terms of what happens there but we can certainly say that these people are out here right now are saying enough is enough this is the final straw. so much of this has been going wrong in terms of policies recently

in this country that they're saying it's time for the tories to go and they want answers to what's exactly on rubble that tragedy as soon as possible. yes some of the protests last week drew quite the crowd you wonder just how big that number is there right now because of what happened on that wednesday for now though an associate check around whitehall thanks for that. political activist george bush believes that the london tower block tragedy demonstrates the extent to which the u.k.'s polar neglected by the government. this horrible story coming so soon on the back of the election it says everything that's wrong about our society this is one of the richest countries in the world one of the richest places in the world this bar in london as well but this is an area where the poor people live and their lives this century have been sold up the river based on this crazy ideology of deregulation because worth noting the reason may when she went down to the fire to the site of the tragedy she talked to some fire officers but she didn't talk to any

of the local people and i think the reason for that was that she knew that they would that they would repent for that for the many catastrophic failings that have led to this and i think he's only strengthened the sense in the mine just that we must see the end of this government and see a transition to to a way of governing where we where we fix the priorities in terms of what we need to spend on and then how to how to provide the appropriate funding for those priorities not the other way around. and the prime minister has allocated five million pounds to help those who've been affected by the tragedy and also demanded a full inquiry into how it happened but as polly boyd to report to reason may have been criticised for more than just her response to the deadly inferno when your own ideas fail just borrow your parents. no one and no community is left behind doesn't that sound a lot like this no one and no community is left behind and no one is left behind

and this nobody and no community should ever agree left behind in fact jeremy corbin used that throughout the labor party leadership race last summer he even used it to launch labour's election campaign for the general election perhaps treason may thought that borrowing a labor phrase would help attract some extra support given how badly she fadden has self-imposed snap general election a vote dem which jeremy corbyn went from. zero to hero. like a political chameleon to reason may has borrowed more than half from the right as well in the run up to the e.u. referendum she was a quiet to remain but this was back then. people say the e.u.

does not make a small secure because it does not allow this to control our borders. but that is not true we want our borders back and we want our country back the new role for ourselves in the world is a strong country with control over our borders. the single market accounts for a huge volume of all trade look at the facts the potential risk to jobs for our economy if we were to leave the european union framework of the single market i would say is a beginning but you must be optimistic about what i am proposing cannot mean membership of the single market nigel farage accused of stealing all his policies by getting britain outside the european union controlling immigration and helping small businesses and for years old the british prime minister was running on exactly the same ticket while thrilled to ukip supporters flocked to join the conservative party when public opinion skewed right to reason may adjusted her

speech and her ideas to fit the agenda when it swung back to the left so did her rhetoric it's textbook electioneering but as to reason may's disappointing results at the polls have demonstrated relying on it too heavily may do more harm than good poll ratings are now as low as jeremy corbin at the start of the snap election campaign that's not deterred the labor leader from borrowing some of the reason may's campaign phrases but only for a lot and i'm sure you'll look forward to welcoming the queen's speech just as soon as the coalition of chaos has been negotiated. possible the labor party stands ready to offer a strong. scene

in london. the us justice. it is advise in the american public to treat with skepticism any news stories relying on anonymous sources the deputy attorney general in particular highlighted the need for caution when it no country or branch of government is attributed to the sources we go frances santiago looks now what may have led to that statement. deputy attorney general rosenstein statement has raised quite a few eyebrows especially considering that as of late majority of the american press relies on nothing but anonymous sources on the den of sources two sources with links to the counter intelligence community anonymous sources according to anonymous washington post source while the mainstream media seems to love them the justice department is busy reviewing all the fakes no wonder they're getting quite fed up with them at the d.o.j. take a look this washington post headline claims that rosenstein threatened to resign after the white house cast him as the prime suspect for suggesting to fire the x.

of the i directed james komi when asked about this by journalists mr rosenstein claimed he never said such a thing now c.n.n. a regular in anonymous sources came out saying that according to sources told me would testify that he never told trump that he was not under investigation only as kind of conflict and i took away from it what he did which was he said i've been assured that i'm not under any investigation took away kind of this blanket assurance which we believe comey will say he did not give the president but when mr comey testified he said the exact opposite he actually told mr trump three times that mr president you are not under investigation c.n.n. even retracted their article confirming the original fake news story or how about this new york times article where not even a sources cited but rather the n.y.t. types it out like a fact that told me days before being fired asked the d.o.j.

for more prosecutors and personnel to accelerate the f.b.i.'s investigation into alleged russia's interference in the presidential election but guess what the justice department flatly denied that komi met with rosenstein to ask for more resources and here is house majority leader kevin mccarthy can. firming that these allegations are nothing but false one of the questions were. public present but he said he's already said it that he has no evidence to call me ask for the resources that all the resources were there good going and whitey and now c.n.n. is raising eyebrows with their exact quote being or what has the reaction to mr rosen stein's anonymous source a statement wow can it get any better than this in the world of mainstream media they even managed to offer their justice department began francis and thiago r.t. the focus of world football is all russia right now with less than an hour before

the first fifa confederations cup match kicks off and petersburg totem and team is there will be catch up with them live in a few minutes. all the feelings of. every. period. and you'll get it on the old world. according to josh. come along for the raw data. chorus of the younger generation is that if they walk the trending go against the status quo it's all in danger their prospects in life and so many of them sell out basically and get jobs

in the city or on wall street and they don't continue in their use fall exuberance for many enough years to make it a permanent solution a permanent movement but now not to belabor the point but now with things like crypto currency this generation can bypass the entire financial infrastructure and create their own financial realities. choosing i'll see this saturday the twenty seventeen feet for confederations cup is now officially underway russia can cross live to some petersburg where. former england football this time called it will have the latest on the day's events.

the call continues to kick take down almost forty five minutes and we will finally be underway russia against new zealand in the imagine twenty seven confederations cup thank all of those alongside me stan you've been there as a player like forty five minutes to go is the point we should be putting your socks on and off five times getting superstitious is indeed nail i used to put my left first or would come out. in the tunnel so i'd be the captain then the goalkeeper then me and if any of those traditions were broken always in serious trouble so players will be getting ready to be a fantastic crowd just down the road at the same petersburg arena and we can get some football in the white big big tournament for russia as hosts a big year for them ahead it's going to be fascinating to see where both of these

young sides fair today i don't want overstate the weather but to be quite honest we are melting here and i just wonder would the players have been prepared for this would have been expecting to see they will need water today where every of course in favor regulations which the temperature goes above a certain degrees of ice twenty four twenty five but feels more shots in the studio here in the beautiful square and some pretty disparate once it goes over a certain temperature will be two or three drinks break still to do that i don't think it will quite get to that it will start to cool down a little bit now but certainly for players used to playing in the european environment of the cold of the winter it will be won't be blessid relief that's for sure they will need plenty of fluids on board today briefly i want to talk about you know the dark side of the build up to this toward a lot of western media talking about races new zealand herald published an article today saying that because the pain you know. how they need to dance of racism in the russian premier league in their opinion russia is therefore unfit to host any major football tournament so my question would be to you that in the same incidence

in italy in england football was racially abused so if you going to apply this kind of judgment equally how many countries are left fit to host a major tournament kneel to be perfectly honest this is one of the main reasons of get involved with all human beings wherever we live pretty much want the same things we want to learn a few dollars pounds roubles we want happiness we want health and want to get on without lawyers that's these people are beyond me so it makes me incredibly upset and angry when old narratives all rolled out of good friends in seville there were some england players notoriously in a game when england played in civilian a friendly few years ago should be abused but the whole of seville shouldn't be told it should be just the two or three idiots that do it likewise in english football we still have the right abuse players north of the border to celtic rangers guy and a player scott sinclair was right surely abused but what they see is now getting into the territory of is that it's being used to taller

a whole nation and one of the main reasons we get involved also it was is because all i know having traveled across the world following football tournament for many years is the vast majority of people want to comb enjoy themselves and get to know each of the vats the way that we move forward not by tolling everybody with the media say that comes with several fans of all nations speaking of fans we can speak to a correspondent in even trying to be down by the state of things that actually speak to some of the fans that perhaps openly some of the new zealand fans really what kind of reaction if you have for that. guys hi again while to answer this question i just say you should see the faces of the new zealand fans that i've met actually going. send some of these pictures and perhaps we'll show them for you a bit later you know i bet if they actually read some of the stuff that you guys

were talking about they'd say that is absolute nonsense they're all smiling they're absolutely happy with what's going on in st petersburg they're saying that they have had no problems whatsoever and they're ready for the big celebration and the big match that is going to start very very soon now how that is such a contrast really to what we've been hearing in the media maybe and the british media that we're trying to paint a picture of you know desperate hooliganism in russia we've seen many instances of that and perhaps the front runner for the b.b.c. with one particular documentary which was called the army of holy ganz in russia now in that documentary they were saying essentially that it's young people all over the country are training to beat people up who are here and actually spoke to the guys that the b.b.c. journalist called some of the most violent russian fans he said that they wanted

their identities to be disguised but when i met these people they said that it was all lies take a look. some of russia's most violent after the game they agree to talk but only on the condition they're on. do you start. with the wolf. will obviously try to do something that is like hundred percent of. all stan was earlier talking about water to idiots that exist everywhere you know this is exactly what i've been talking about for quite a while that's exactly what people here are talking about you can't find it anywhere fact. per se is not a russian thing as it was portrayed and that b.b.c. felt now we've prepared a little bit a little video for. nuts and bolts. when

did football related violence first become a problem. but it can be traced back to fourteenth century. back then it wasn't so much the beautiful game as a mass brule between rival villages picking a pig's bladder across town to head with the second this could lead to social unrest. cases of football hooliganism in the modern game. that's when the so-called. causing trouble at football matches talking rival fans in. the hey day. of the actual term came about a century later. from the sixty's clashes between rival supporters of both into fights between gangs of. so-called phone in the first five years of the decade

twice as much violence is that the previous twenty five british hooliganism spread rapidly during the seventy's and eighty's becoming known abroad as english disease . glutes it's a tragic peek at the european cup final in one thousand nine hundred five when the liverpool fans attacked their italian rival causing a war in the stadium to collapse killing thirty nine people after the disaster in his clubs were banned from pool in european contests the fact is the government wants to clamp down and look at it by the one nine hundred ninety football related violence in the u.k. gradually began to wane but the reputation stuck when england failed to qualify for the one nine hundred ninety four usa world cup the committee chief was delighted that the no england fans. with three countries in the world whose presence would have created logistical problems so we're very pleased they will be coming that's iraq iran and playing. in the coming years many key international tournaments where

mas quite badly behaved in the. now days football hooliganism is of course not only in english but international disease one that thankfully isn't as prevalent as it used to be. and i think so correspond if they're trying to reporting that i just want to make something very clear before we continue on the on this conversation i don't doubt that in racist incidents in football in russia i don't doubt that the nations of thinking is that when it's on video in france i think the point that we need to discuss here is to what extent is this different from in other countries and to what extent the media playing a role in distorting the representation is i don't think it's any worse in russia from my experience than in any other country i've been to including england and you've been a hands on and in the thick of some of this action haven't you i think that for

example we would never of taken the european championships last year affronts despite knowing a couple of clubs parasangs your mountain and. i mean parsons human families were banned from traveling to small site for a game that a particularly nasty right wing elements of their support but we didn't of course tall the whole french sporting public with this brush in two thousand and four went to the european championships or drove was a big england fan a huge england. and england played portugal i think it was in the quarterfinals of the semifinals twenty five thousand english in the stadium of lights lost the game came out impeccably be how you put the next day in some of the newspapers in england and live from scores triple and i was like where two hundred miles away in the al golf with people who were not associated with the travel official supports. someone holiday described in the nation now who take it as a means to be dealt with we spoke to the organizing committee there about you know

what is the one hundred ninety one no new begins in russia that will be dealt with will be dealt with there's no doubt about that because russia wants to put on a good show so that it's no different from the european championships in two thousand and four the european championships last year absolutely disgraceful scaremongering journalism the i saw a pretty you crying into the. i mean twelve where i as a black man was told when you get off the plane you're going to get not only did that not happen rather warm welcome across the country and i fully expect the same here in russia i mean you know you join the r.t.t. you want is that the beginning you're going to tell everything how you see it's going to be frank is going to be honest you build your reputation on that and we wouldn't expect anything less i think the harsh truth is that we just haven't witnessed any of it yet maybe there's something out there we have a witness to it so my question is what is going on in the world of journalism why is the reporting being apparently distorted like this very simple man it's very nervous as it always has been when you have

a situation where boy particularly newspapers need to keep growing it doesn't become about a small nation of supporters for right for left whatever they all becomes about the whole nation the whole ukrainian nation was told with prior to two thousand and twelve on the whole russian nation has and one of the reasons why i want to get involved is that as a sports broadcaster. goes everywhere off the beaten track about this conversation so many it's only means is that ninety nine point nine percent of people particularly for. whites only see the fun zones and friends get involved with each of the don't stress the narrow range and you know the ukrainians in the yellow and blue and the russians they all tend to get on over events of positivity although when you go to the positive that funny but why do is what these narratives perpetual you need to be fearful of going to something where the should be some form in that square remarks they were always fill me in fifty yards away around the

corner if you were having a cup a cup of coffee you wouldn't have known what was going on and it's exactly the same wish here is a country of one hundred forty four million people and i would be horrified if england got a tournament in two years five years ten years to i mean we're good people in birmingham manchester liverpool newcastle and we're told with the brush of a few idiots that still remain ok we've we've said we would tackle some of these. issue some people can make their own opinions but i'm a strong finish and i'm old post and now let's bring in a guest nobody can speak to victoria pretty often now she is one of the ambassadors for the will of two thousand and eighteen joins us on the line i think it is ok victoria i just want to ask you why did you decide to get involved and i'm like how do you feel about your involvement in the tour not to you as a rich white proud about. high higher value here we are from the stead o. l. and the loans there are nice and beyond's here

a lot of people as so saddened to hoess should be give that as a consideration cop and they really are looking for that everybody going to enjoy the game i just to part in their official ceremony opening of the confederation cup to any seventeen and all in there to be the part of the official ceremony and presenting the efi szell ball dress sour so this is the official goal of the tournament of the configuration top. to tour what's not mystere like around the stadium or people getting excited now. i'm sorry said again. what's the atmosphere like around the stadium off funds and excited for the sky. oh yeah everybody is so sad in there i a lot of people around me and everybody would like to cheer and you know to support their our national team and there are

a lot of foreigners as i can see and everybody real looking forward to joining the game and it is really great i'm young. well done on being involved in the i think that's a big anybody leckie a great speak to victoria longer over there official that two thousand eight hundred people world cup should be back next think yeah down to late so we'll talk about some of the tricky issues at the end of the day though not just because we're in russia moving for russia and china everybody wants this to go without any kind of incident we're all looking forward to fun and presumably goals as well absolutely my prediction is russia two new zealand nil afraid of a trace of a sign that picks up without a chat recently in belfast we've done three words in the new zealand manager i would like to see them do well it's important for the sport to new zealand where. to be securing the russian media is great to be in this world cup year. not long now until the snake company bringing you the cult if there are any fingers crossed
