2:07 pm
responsibility of europe there is far too much immigration it's really cannot support arriving migrants. they do nothing because their policies don't work they just talk. they have to help you know we're bearing the financial burden you know i want other states france spain and others to do their part in helping the migrants because this prime minister didn't along he said everyone turns away and pretends not to see to do nothing is wrong europe needs to help out the european union has provided financial aid to it says. and now e.u. have said that they cool to open up ports along the mediterranean coast such as say in. spain but that is likely to be met with great resistance. and some people suggest that what the european commission is saying is little more
2:08 pm

2:17 pm
a few more people turning up as well if you go into the hotels everybody there let people speak english because the nature of this final i think if you're a host nation of course everybody wanted russia to be a need to do really well but of course looking at then some of the other teams coming through this is set up as you said to be a cracking final with two of the world's best teams and also just before hand when we were looking at all the numbers of fans who bought tickets assigned for russians watching the tournament chile and germany were among the fans who bought them ice tickets so lots of them there there are they've been anticipating good final mexico which for a moment i'm going in a long two trips over a month i haven't seen so much as anybody other than but their beautiful eyelids that made man woman and child racism hooliganism where receipt. well there isn't. he apparently and i've every read it across reports across the whole of the media across the world as well and nobody has reported anything i think is to the delight of fee for particular russia as well but johnny avanti now was full of praise because it wasn't just a question of as you mentioned hill egotism racism some of these other issues that
2:18 pm
have been long debated about particular issues in eastern europe but also the fact that the infrastructure wouldn't be finished but the fee for present itself is full of praise on a social level and an infrastructure level about the tournament so far we're hearing about violence about incidents. about. racism when we had nothing we had no incidents everything run smoothly everything run perfectly we're hearing about the infrastructure as well they are not ready and how will it work and all the infrastructure is are absolutely beautiful beautiful football stadiums transport works visa free entry will defend id free transport between the venues by train this is something that does not happen in many other countries were big events or organized well that city for many years particularly say i've been here since the time that the world cup bid was announced and where the host city would be and then about the confederations cup
2:19 pm
we've been hearing about the negatives about the potential for races and the potential of the infrastructure would be ready but it's all coming together and for once we cannot concentrate on the positives it's all about a cracking game of football between two of the world's best teams here at the magnificent stadium is to petersburg on sunday night thank you after saying you're very briefly the stadiums are ready the trouble is ready and often his took a lot of stick for us to say from all four cities been absolutely fantastic i would say that you know it's not like people are looking for problems and about you not hearing anything but mostly on telling absolute narrow wall hearing some pretty bird joined by some young four or five and they were showing off their fancy footwork and some of these kids on the cover. which does well and. that's just the making. of the ball put you through. because even though there's even. a strategic . experience. in st petersburg here that's what. the best football
2:20 pm

2:21 pm
you know should really anybody's fears about coming here i found great stadiums for a straight stadiums great infrastructure great help from the volunteers free transport between the cities and around the cities for all the sounds and i just find that the people you know the country would know for you when you're here you know i had one woman on the train platform and so what you actually followed her daughter who spoke english to make sure that i was getting on the right train and it's that sort of helpfulness. quite by surprise here i found people that are warm there and like i said the country will for you you know all the security fronts fans will be kept apart but even even at that i think sure friends are going to make it quite well if we got a bit of weather for the world cup next year that's what we want yes i think that's the main thing obviously a lot of. well down the neo will be back on sunday with all the latest from the confederations cup final will join us on our international about.
2:22 pm
well the u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley has compared it wrong to a scorpion and remarks about the country's nuclear disarmament. the topic of iranian regime's compliance with its international obligations reminds me of the fable of the scorpion and the frog. the scorpion asked the frog for a ride across the river the frog quite rationally asks how do i know you won't sting me and the scorpion replies because it would kill both of us we'd both drown so the frog is convinced he lets the scorpion get on its back and starts across the river but sure enough midway through the scorpion stings him with his last breath the frog asks why and the scorpion replies because it's in my nature. the secretary general's report is filled with devastating evidence of the
2:23 pm
nature of the iranian regime one we're talking about international agreements and enforcement and one we're talking about the potential. of prosecuting through military means and the like. these little metaphorical parable references lose their quaintness this is serious business here so when it comes to international diplomacy but it comes with the possibility of sanctions when it comes to the possibility theoretically of war i would prefer lay off the metaphor in the parable and the simile and let's be very very clear and also never overreact always look for a peaceful peaceful interpretation and a peaceful outcome i hope well this is not the first time top american officials abuse this type of rhetoric when describing of a nation the former director of u.s. national intelligence james clapper has been fairly outspoken about russians and
2:24 pm
