3:05 pm
doesn't that sound a lot like this no one and no community is left behind and this no community and no one is there behind this nobody and no community should ever be left behind in fact jeremy corbyn 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 threes in 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 tim which jeremy corbyn went from zero to hero. like a political chameleon to reason may has borrowed more than her fair share from the right as well in the run up to the e.u. referendum she was a quiet remain a but this was back then. people

say the e.u. does not make us more secure because it does not allow us to control the border. but that is not true we were the voters but we want our country back the new role for ourselves in the world that's a strong country with control over our borders. the single market accounts for a huge volume of our trade look at the facts the potential risks to jobs the uncertainties 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 four 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 the right to resume a 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 law i'm going to show you all move forward to world during the queen's speech just as soon as the coalition of chaos has been negotiated. possible the labor party stands ready to offer
3:08 pm
a strong. r t london. well after my poor showing in the general election she's nice seeking the support of the minority party to form a viable government however her approach to northern ireland's democratic unionist has upset their rivals going underground tackled the issue. any deals between unionism and tory governments have been bad for local people and for ireland since you know one i think a tory government has never been a good thing for the people of ireland specially the people of the north of ireland we look at our communities devastated by tourist early i myself was a government minister last year i seen the effects of tourist early on our budgets but there was real public anger and the real public anger the d.p. in the assembly election just in march the lost a number of seats up to ten seats they lost it was real public anger so you know we see in this we now see shadowy backroom deals and that's why the needs to be transparency what was talked about here because let's be clear with this tories and
3:09 pm
tory policy have been devastatingly bad for the people of ireland since two thousand and ten tourist areas taken a billion pound out of our block grant you know it's a public services are being punished here and the do you need to be very mindful of . now the opening match of the twenty seventeen feet the confederations cup has just ended in st petersburg russia have claimed the first picture of the tournament that so you know when the new zealand so let's get the details now with neil harvey and former england footballer stan collymore. think federation's go may just be to draw to
3:10 pm
a close here in st petersburg but the celebrations there are only just getting underway for the host nation russia after they secured a two you know victory over new zealand in we have a game alongside me stan collymore stand we're going to take our viewers through the goal some glue should cough and polos start with a second goal which i think is really just finish he said it was a very good performance overall from from russia lots of pressure on the first game they were very poor in the european championships of course so they needed a good result to get the tournament into why paulo is there is he said with the finish very easy ball comes in from the rights and side bryza central striker it was an attacking we just need to get in the box to make sure that you can finish that off so very good room that was the second goal in terms of the first goal thought should dominate the play in the first twenty minutes good little lift of the goalkeeper that glue should cough after say feel a little bit sorry for the new zealand goalkeeper because he was very good throughout the game but just that little ding called the goalkeeper sees the ball in the back of the net and the hosts were all pretty morning they were up and let's
3:11 pm
get more analysis on this now i'm really pleased to say that we can welcome roman shirokov figure up on fifty caps for the russian national team play for many years visiting st petersburg very famous in this part of the country first of all remember what do you think of today's performance by the national team. of the most. well finished come up for our country for our team this is a great start we played quite well we scored two goals fans were happy and the president was happy as well. he was indeed. president we saw him smiling. a big year for russian football for the confederations cup and then the world called how important was today's result to get the nation on side with the national to. which i think it was very important. that we have a new head coach so it's important to have
3:12 pm
a good story we use new tactics we were looking for a game we didn't have a lot of wins but we won twice in the last four games and we had two draws so little by little we're getting there so this victory was very important for our team. you know a very experienced international you know played in all kinds of different situations how much pressure is on the table the fact that they're at home like you said the president was watching is that big pressure or is there a lot of freedom given the fact that maybe they're not expected to do too much. very definitely of course this. president with the president sitting there in a stand it's quite special or maybe just one in a lifetime experience and this is a young team so they may have felt some pressure but at the beginning of the game they felt pretty confident i would see and they scored so that after they scored
3:13 pm
the first goal they felt even more confident. how important to see the coach looks at every player every system makes changes because you're sure of course of no qualification games that all friendly so every friendly don't have to like a qualification. by it but. yes exactly that's why those friendlies are so important and they constitute cup it is so important for us. these are official games and we play a real opponents so this is a really a test for us to try as few things and for the head coach to. could better luke a different players. what do you think it was it was a very positive performance i thought russia created a lot of chances in this case what do you think the chances are going to moving on to portugal and mexico. well of course those two opponents are going to be much much tougher and the
3:14 pm
venture welcome will very much depend on the result of these two games whether we will be able to qualify from the group and once again this is an opportunity for our players to demonstrate their best qualities. a man we appreciate you coming and it's a pleasure to speak to you and also it was a great pleasure to watch you play thank you so much thank you. ok we also we've got a great day really into speaking to the top players and we grabbed a few moments with the guys themselves from the russian team after their victory here's what they had to say. it was just first of all we play for our fans and i think today we made them happy i think it was a good game the most significant thing is that we won everything else is less important. than you've seen they used to we won we didn't spoil this great day for our fans that's important for me there was a lot of pressure on us of course with the hosts we played for the first time in
3:15 pm
front of our president and. smiles from the skipper you go walking for even the goal scorer should call for course they go along to hopefully bigger and better things if your home supporter now ok partridge was simply to fun song imagine she met quite a few happy families. she can imagine the noise here is really quite something not an easy let the blue touch paper think it's also let there be a cake series well there's plenty of beer flying when it is off to rule the city of culture and just before we have kicked off in this very very merry and happy virus the states. some of the fans and they were anticipating a very good sort of and as well will we came to russia because you we've been keeping a marvelous country it's amazing what you have here and your history little if we see details that there were still there were so we wanted to know your country and panel for many happy that she had this time and i'm very much excited.
3:16 pm
she could tell by seville the year the cheering fans there and i think you were just lucky enough to miss some of the fans will keep past as well or if to say it's fine voices well so when you said you're happy environment for the russia for the fight fans is in the first match of the confederations cup you can hear them. but you know all those funds are very happy but if they've been listening to some of the western media they might not be even turn to people most the guy some fans who came here were warmed by the media back in the home countries about what they might come across here in the competition e.g. new zealand herald for example published an article that accused russian fans of racism and said that they could not be trusted for trying to our correspondent met up with some new zealand supporters right here in st petersburg and he asked them about what would their experience of the play so far. have spoken to a number of new zealand fans outside the stadium you come up to them you ask them
3:17 pm
about the only gets you ask them about the problems and they look back at you and they're baffled all these people have told me that they're having an amazing time in st petersburg we haven't experienced any problems and definitely they wouldn't believe and they disagree with the stuff that was written into how all the russian hooligans on overnight if you want to die. just russian people are absolutely fantastic he will be for arbor a white male and the russian people have extended their hospitality to wash. it down on my simply show found us a british rule we did. actually it is very quiet it is no trouble that we've seen in the town center. pockets and i didn't even get. the stuff so you know one of the great benefits of the car federations car will be the memories that the fans will bring back home but there are no british teams taking part in this tournament so there won't be many people coming back to the cape tell the brits how
3:18 pm
people in this country really do get offended when u.k. media are saying that football culture in russia is only about violence yes of course there are some problems still but issues exist in any country in fact here's a little history lesson for you in football it is when did football related violence first become a problem we don't know for sure but it can be traced way back to fourteenth century. back then it wasn't so much the beautiful game as a rowdy mass brule between rival villages kicking a pig's bladder across town you had with the second word this could lead to social unrest. cases of football hooliganism in the modern game fast forward to the eighty's that's when the so-called roughs started causing trouble at football matches talking rival fans and players as well as referees but the heyday of
3:19 pm
football hooliganism and the actual term came about a century later starting from the sixty's clashes between rival supporters of both into pulled a knife fights between large gangs of hardcore fans the so-called phone in the first five years of the decade is 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 the english disease grew to its tragic peak the european cup final in one thousand nine hundred five when the liverpool fans attacked their italian rival causing a stadium collapse. killing thirty nine people after the disaster english clubs were banned from pool in european income taxes a government plan down. by the one nine hundred ninety two related violence in the u.k. gradually began to wane but the reputation. when england failed to qualify for the one nine hundred ninety four usa world cup committee chief was delighted with the
3:20 pm
no england for. the with three countries in the world whose presence would have created logistical problems so we're very pleased they will be coming to the route . in the coming years many key international tournament marks quite badly behaved in the. nowadays football hooliganism is of course not only in english but the international disease one that thankfully isn't as prevalent as it used to be. ok and stan i want to use a word now that i enjoyed i know you you appreciate these meanings of all context so let's just say we know it's a small number of hooligans that are out there let's just say it's a few doesn't say you got forty five thousand capacity stadium for example it takes about tax stadium that's less that's well no point one per cent of the people in
3:21 pm
the founds accused of being involved in trouble that's not even taking into account how many owners are. in russia basically saying an entire nation blamed for the actions of a tiny number of people and from a that is the problem with the country to our support of trouble and support it is a far as a broadcaster and i've been lucky enough to where the three lions and england filed their reputation preceded them and still continues to do and i think what's happened is these a lot of the anger a lot of the fear of what operant woman saw violence in marseilles for example i was there last year is that. transposed into a whole night sure it's been a lot of freedom i'm going to sort it for the european championships back in two thousand and twelve in ukraine there was a documentary that say do not go to ukraine if you're english if you are if you're black so i went there is a broadcast with a great deal of trepidation what did it for and calling this government supporters mingling a muffler mees the big east and the saudis thing. is that people want to get
3:22 pm
together and have a paltry every four years it's a world cup a new european championship a basically being scared to their wits by some irresponsible journalism but yes we need to be vigilant yes we need to draw a bright hooligans out of the school book please let's not solar home i should with the brochure because it's not warranted you know let's just finish posted no host nation no one is great but it's great for the competition let's say many people out here all the public square because most of them we have a little policy of their own and why don't they deserve it let's go and join them shall we stand up so they will be back with more. here of course the younger generation is that if they block the trending go against the status quo it's all in danger their prospects in life and so many of them.
3:23 pm
basically in this city or on wall street and they don't continue in their use fall exuberance for many years to make it a permanent solution a permanent movement but now labor the point but now with things like the currencies this generation can bypass the entire financial infrastructure and create their own financial realities. i don't see clear out across the street that is that anyway. good for today or tomorrow. you have dreams for one brief period of time and then you know divorce immediately i think that we are in a. bad historical moment in the middle east and it is very difficult to predict how things will become.
3:24 pm
with r.t. let's have a look now at some more of today's names and officials in afghanistan say seven american troops have been wounded in an attack by a rogue afghan soldier at a base in the north of the country was shot dead u.s. is dismissed there were reports that american soldiers had been killed the taliban says it was responsible although that claim has been disputed is what we heard from a journalist in kabul today an afghan soldier used the rocket propelled grenade during a military exercise on the way to the shooting range or the shooting range and according to this officer several u.s. soldiers were wounded this comes not long after commando killed at least three u.s. soldiers in the eastern province of. the base where the incident today took place
3:25 pm
is where at least ten attackers killed more than one hundred forty army soldiers in april and what was a massive security breach you have to remember that the taliban are expanding their area of recruitment from where the afghan police in army recruits so the risk of afghan soldiers or new recruits being turned into taliban infiltrators is really high. well the attack came as the country's defense minister welcome the decision by the u.s. to deploy four thousand more troops to afghanistan a move many see as unlikely to improve the situation there. with these four thousand troops they cannot defeat i saw and the taliban in afghanistan they just won the fighting to continue so they can achieve their goals. with more american troops in afghanistan people will get more frustrated and insecurity will
3:26 pm
increase you know looking at the taliban spring offensive strategy for twenty seventeen it's the key element within their new strategy for spring offensive you know there were several motivations for afghan forces one was the infiltration where afghan afghans were sent to carry out years attack the second was co-option where serving military or police were recruited by the taliban for whatever motivation sometimes because their family were living under taliban area or they were provided some into. the second as personal grievances which i believe in today's attack it could be that personal grievances what afghans are really asking is two things one is push for peace process and second pressurising the pakistani taliban sanctuaries are actually terror so i think i would agree with many afghans in this because troop surge in the military solution is no it is not
3:27 pm
a solution for the afghan problem and i think the americans must have realized as well because you see there are sort of similar comments coming from the american officials particularly those forming the afghan policy but you know it's contradicting with what they're doing and what they're saying at one hand they believe that it has to be peace process in peace settlement that can. work but in the other hand they're sending additional troops so that's how things look so far today here in our back with more news for you plus the latest from the confederations cup in st petersburg in a bag half an hour's time if there is the. here's
3:28 pm
what people have been saying about rejecting the night with us exactly just pull along. the only show i go out of my way to launch you know a lot of the really packs a punch oh yeah mr john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than food. and see people you never heard of love went back to the night my president of the world bank so take. me seriously send us an e-mail.
3:29 pm
