no left left left more or less ok stop that's really good. all the fun we are having the door for two thousand and eighteen world cup finals paid to smog alongside me the results are in place all they tell me they were good russia got russia's console you're a good girl boy lots of analysis going on john is that if you see. in other news the mass evacuation is carried out after a suspicious object possibly an explosive device has been found in pottstown next to the german city's christmas market. former u.s. national security advisor michael flynn pleads guilty to making false statements to the f.b.i. as part of a probe into russia link. a

very warm welcome you watching r.t. international broadcasting to you live from moscow i'm neki aaron now the draw for the twenty eighteen world cup has been completed and we now know who will be playing who in the group stages next summer neil harvey and peter schmeichel have been following the jewel forest. welcome to the last two decades and moscow it might look like a winter wonderland snooze the snow gently floats down it was a blizzard earlier but we didn't know it's a speech michael long sought me because of all the excitement of the draw was fantastic wasn't all that joyous kept as warm on. the view is fantastic but it really really is cold here at least part it's open to joe was a gravel it was not as opposes bring up the door seven five a look at it briefly say russia. really really really good group draw saudi arabia

in the old game and then egypt in europe who are so really good for russia and europe i would say without but the kicker is in group b. that spain portugal you know thought was going to be some game by the way and then obviously to cheer my heart denmark we got joy against france australia and peru and also your keeping you became your own on the sort of the ones close to the hall will do a bit more specifically in a few moments before about melissa c. didn't go smoothly or whether any massage here are the highlights of the draw. i see on the rush hour and they're still looking.

at a good you know. order way. life johnny had in saudi arabia. and i need. again saudi arabia also in that group egypt and europe was that group a brazil switzerland costa rica. asked germany mexico aside like your principle first stay with us and you got some things not just president but practically it was a who's who of will win isn't the greatest football this of all time tell us about that experience well for president tuesday was holding a reception for for basically every legendary football who's who's in moscow for the draw and you know the world that was incredible to work to see this many guys who stand so much for football and you know basically are the big superstar here

are legends in the game and even when you are a huge name yourself do you still feel slightly intimidated to be entering with an iron album or don't know yet i think the big thing for me was. tele pelleas not having a good best of time at the moment he was in a wheelchair and golden bangs and him they were having a conversation about which which joins they've had replaced but it was credit card you could write a sweet sort of moment vehicle marathon it was a course for now the road and the new car for the kind of our guys who's listed the world cup trophy and i was pretty proud to be part of that of course you were none but there were a few of them going in the piece michael is in here don't think doing you know sell yourself short you know everybody that was it was a big name star and for a very good reason they can install this stunt halim or we saw a threatening manner up front we hope it was not much action at the moment but chunks to take it but they were it would be here working the room. in the neck out

so the quote far as are over an argentinian had the upper hand. no no there's enough that in the main thing is we just have to keep training is this the tournament well you know messi replicates the incredible achievements of diego maradona and lifts the world missy doesn't need to prove anything he's been the best in the world for the last ten years i'm not the one who expect an old phillies who did like the russia some something very easy something now i would like for russia they lost interest and the most high level team because in this case a little of fresh unaffordable we'll be even bigger after that so we decided to rock but yesterday we met some true legends you we know would go on there with pizza but we had fabio cannavaro that's when the world cup wave it's only of course banks that's what it with england in one nine hundred sixty six laurent blanc that won the ninety nine version with france and here's what they had to say.

which two or three teams the feel of the favorites to win the tournament mouth course. german team and the spanish team and. the brazilian team but i think he's a good time for messi to do something you know even more because he is that the last is the last chance for you know it's only for the first time since nineteen fifty i've disappointed all you as a as a former captain i'm so sad because you know for us it was a. big disaster but now to be honest with you is a good moment to to come back strong and that before. i do feel england all shape you know perhaps if the world cup next year in russia well the last couple of games i've seen them that they don't know for sure if

a korea has been playing some youngsters and you know. which employed to. go experience you know nothing i think you need experience badly when when you're in a in a tournament modish. iroquois who's winning the world. i would put a four foot for my i think in point of view like i said france england may be getting not the favorite because you have teachers on the view i think spain using a great moment have to because brazil is playing really well we know germany would be very game germany is general they are always there they've been if they are not winning the cup they are in the second place between the if semi finals they are always fighting. to be given one spot if not supported so i think is

a. big a petition you know to do the walk up is a very nice computers and the people be destroyed and i think i hope the weather will be better draw. theater production because it means so much to so many people who have got the results now so let's we have a look at the in the full draw in its entirety let's cherry pick some of the games now less about the host nation because you know not i don't mean to put any of the teams in russia down but saudi arabia. and euro go i surely will settle for that at the start of the day on my clock i mean i thought in the end in time we sort of been off in looking at the the media around the world and everyone agrees that russia they've had a fantastic draw and i agree with that but it is a world cup there's a lot of pressure on russia there on the home home sore you know the expectations

not having played competitive football for so long it's going to be difficult regardless but the first game is against the euro. i dieted that is a good good game to start with and a slight double edged sword in the sense that now if russia fails it's an absolute disaster because the expectation now is that there's a very good chance to keep it positive argentina ice and that's what's great day and i will take place terry must go as far tak stadium so iceland have already proved their ability to upset the apple cart and i wanted senior not at their greatest or lights for argentina's get better i mean they had a terrible start to their qualification campaign and as we talked about enough those programs they sneak through the greatest to the last game city i think in genesis in excel were able to last guests great they think they'd lost that they had a convincing win in the last yeah and when you look at how they qualified actually looks quite convincing but that's because of other results argentina will always be a good ball for little more opponents in the world cup on the don't forget they go

arguably the best player in the world messi he was the best player in the last world cup and i don't think he's gotten any worse it's a fascinating call contrast there because you've got really a global names like messy and then how you could actually name the iceland players but the very effective world that's it i mean that's a proper football team this is all about the collective and and the whole squad has been used let's move on to now this is an exciting time so many ways spain against portugal and i just want to say because i've been to the fishtailing pick stadium in sochi and it's going to be really warm sunny beautiful down by the black sea it's the perfect setting for spain against one out i think this is probably the pig of of the whole jaw this is the result of i mean spain portugal you just think about ronaldo against spain plays in spain he makes his living he

plays for the drinker i mean and then such as well from in spain. i mean i think so either the full but they are on the way up again and maybe one of the dark horses to win the whole show in my opinion so this is a tasty one and this is i mean this is the pick of the bunch absolutely yeah on the day anything could happen but let's not talk about the world cup this world called everyone has worked very hard over the last sort of eighteen months to get to the world cup and to get to the jaw today you know all these teams are good in capable teams don't forget so anyone can really beat anyone on the day ok let's move on to . england these are this is a much that involves so many place to know each other because of all the bells and seen play in england in the in the primary were not many surprises there now and not many surprises but i can attest to one i think they would be very very happy with the joy they've got. but again you know so many belgian players play in the premier league so you know it's going to be very familiar and you're not sure how

to not only build on a really good team but remember two teams go through them but you told me that you weren't too happy with the draw well i want the hardest possible group because that way you know if your team is really capable of winning a know you get a really tough group and you get three you know there's a reason to get excited in england the media the fans get very excited about beating anybody and if they qualify and i think we're going to win the world cup they tend to get ahead of themselves ok let's head over now speak to. believe stocks or to speak to that a brit is more like. hey there i still cannot believe the fact that i'm standing in the draw hall here in moscow and it's actually happening and now we have all the teams lined up there obviously you've talked plenty about the big names the favorites the belgians they are the english and all that but let's talk about the teams which can be considered as dark horses and one of those teams maybe costa rica which as we now know has been drawn together with the likes of switzerland cost brazil and serbia and now i have here the player former costa rican ash. team

player former west ham united and manchester city player we thank you so much for joining us hello so brazil again for costa rica your your team actually did very well in brazil yeah excited are you. the last world cup to be honest i mean when i when i saw brazil you know in the same group. you know very bad memories because. the first time that we would play against brazil was ninety ninety you need telly and then in two thousand and two we play against brazil and the score was you know five forty two to wrestle but now. they're very strong as always. we're looking forward to you know to the great challenge and switzerland we have a common friend who says switzerland. i mean it will be tough for for costa rica but the funny thing does last work you know we were with the euro why we leave

with england and still we we want to you top the group right here so you think any chance of this happens or you know you know no world cup is this the beauty of football this is what live t.v. is all about the whole slurry snow just from my head and the reason i mention that is because even seemingly simple things like this come with has it so i wanted to ask if it's you know we think the draw it's very easy to just pull balls out of poles you've been involved in and do you get nervous that you can mess this terrifying it is. i was hosting the champions the joe and we had every hustle and one of the poles popped up and went inside the table right now imagine if that happens life that's no way you can redo the joe but imagine what the repercussions people will be calling fix exactly exactly i tell you or you are hands are shaking in and some of the pull in sometimes it's difficult to sort of open them up and you

know your life my goodness so it's a simple thing and it's simple thing with he's. the concern is if it doesn't go well and of course out of any major tournament so much attention on the infrastructure in the preparations unfortunately first had a chance to test out some of the stadiums that were used in the world cup but this is confederations cup and the fans themselves from all over the world came to experience what it was lightly check out what they thought. we would so much mexico russia we thought maybe even the like going to have we want

to match it completely obvious they were still playing really friendly russian people are so friendly friendly just believe me it was a beautiful guy there and we would come back from work to. make it. so that's it done and dusted the draw is settled we know who's going to play here and where they're going to be now we move on to the action itself and peace you're going to be back in much warmer weather next year i'm going chung's will be in sochi on the beach and it is lovely there and i'm really looking forward to this because we're going to travel around russia together and experience some of the host cities check out some of the stadiums get a feel for the life there you're looking forward to this i'm really looking i'm looking forward to experiencing russia. to deliver the stories that are of course with football surrounding football but also with the culture and really on the good

fortune and hoping. we can give people a feel for what the country is like and you know maybe in terms of sports the game self and we're going to the games as well i'm sure it's been great to have you on board peter. see you in a few months so it's a month. now in other world news that a suspicious device has been found in pottstown next to the german city's christmas market with police immediately evacuating the area piece all of it has the details . well police in the city of port stomach urgently investigating whether

a suspicious device that they were called to in the afternoon on friday was a viable explosive device that had been placed or certainly to live it to an address nearby to the christmas markets in the center of the city now this all started around two thirty local time in which this package was delivered to the pharmacy which is very close to the central square where that christmas market is located now the bomb disposal department were called they arrived on the scene and sent a robot over to assess the package they determined that it was a cylindrical object containing cables batteries and nails but it said that it didn't have any well certainly at the time nothing that they could describe as a viable ignition system no ignition device was delivered a firing pin if you will to use old of parlance as. so currently police are investigating whether this could have been used as an air as

a viable explosive device whether it could have been used to target the people that were gathering about christmas market just in october of this years that just a month ago we saw a nineteen year old syrian national being arrested and charged with what's being described as planning to commit a serious explosive terrorist event but this also isn't the first time that germany has been the target of real terrorist attacks.

the former u.s. national security had fines that michael flynn has pleaded guilty to dying to the f.b.i. over his links to the then russian ambassador to the u.s. because me ask for the latest details here. we have michael flynn pleading guilty to charges of making false statements to federal agents now this is a guilty plea and it's been entered in court at this point he's facing a sentence of between zero and six months in jail as well as a possible fine of up to nine thousand five hundred dollars now of course the mainstream media is in an uproar others talk about the rush investigation all kinds

of things are being made in the press this is being treated as a very big story out a very earth shaking event but it's quite interesting let's recall how michael flynn stepped down as national security adviser let's remember donald trump's explanation of why he left the administration let's take a listen. the thing is he didn't or vice president. properly and then he said he didn't remember so either way it was a very satisfactory to me so when he was serving in the trumpet ministration mr flynn misled vice president pence and now it appears that he's pled guilty to misleading federal agents now at this point you know the white house has come forward and said look this charge doesn't implicate anyone other than michael flynn he himself it looks like he's pleading guilty to misleading federal agents now it's been well over a year since the u.s. presidential election investigations have been going on for months and yet there

seems to be no sign of this vast plot involving donald trump and russia this vast conspiracy that mainstream media seems to be so determined to find hasn't really come into fruition we've had several indictments at this point individuals who misled federal officials made false statements are now facing criminal charges but as of yet the collusion story isn't really materializing. and at the news french president emanuel mccrone have tabled a new plan to combat human trafficking in libya involving military action but his plans have been widely criticized as the previous french led intervention in libya and left the country in ruins as more and county have explained. slavery and human trafficking of violent offenses sadly common now in libya but no need to fear president macron is here he has the solution for libya's problem

send in the troops to tunisia to zone we are proposing police military action we are not waging war but this is a country in a political transition political transition he calls it does sound better than as savage civil war more politically correct nevertheless a number of african and e.u. states are ready to help fight this war or rather not really a war says macron but a military operation still round two for france in libya. today were intervening in libya we are intervening in order to enable the libyan people to choose their own destiny it must not be deprived of its rights by violence and terror the fact that slavery is so rampant in libya is because the country's army and political order were obliterated under nato bombardment six years ago since then libya has been stuck in

a brutal and bloody political transition as president macro calls it or absolute chaos and anarchy as anyone out sward call it as long as it is a failed state the problem will come back as a failed state because the regime of at our feet up was not mice regime nobody says that was destroyed by the french and the british together in two thousand and eleven so of course michael can do something now but it will reoccur. the problem of modern slavery is worst in africa this is followed by asia and the pacific region and then central asia and europe third while france's self has become a key human trafficking herb that's according to a report from the u.s. state department it lists the country as a destination and transit point for men women and children subjected to forced labor and six trafficking we spoke to the vice president of the libyan presidential

council and asked him about the crown's plan for military action. we. guarantee that but no. yeah we cannot accept anything. to be done with all of the present the baby and libyans to be the one to do the action with the help of a lot of the muslim. well that i wait to help them make it and to marry that i hate them basement own country for asian libya it's not the country of origin of america libya is a country of iran that we as a libyan have already impressed on africa i want to see anybody talk of never going to the first but the country what it can and perhaps to make it through to stay with their loved ones with their families while they were docked he would love to hear your take on the day's stories they do get in touch by following us on facebook and twitter and i'll be back at the top of the hour join me that.
