france england may be getting not the favorite because you have to choose on one of you i think spain using you're going to have to because brazil is playing really well we know germany would be very game germany is general they are always there they believe they are not winning the cup they are in the second place between the if semifinals they are always fighting. when i speak. as stops or to speak to them bring this morning. obviously you've talked plenty about the big names the favorites the belgians 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. and now i have here the player former costa rican national team player former west ham united and manchester city player one chopper

the host nation russia is expected in excess of hotham million visiting fans to come and support their teams during the championship over three and a half million people applied for tickets when the first bunch went on sale ahead of the jewel russia and founds from all over the world have a chance to test run the world cup venues during the confederations cup this summer . we went to the much of mexico russia we thought maybe the like going to be bad we

want to match something they are but they were still playing really friendly russian people are so friendly friendly that's nice to me it was a beautiful gathering people would come back from work. to be here. and i make friends with. about an art exhibition devoted to the concept of martyrdom has sparked controversy by featuring terrorists alongside the likes of socrates and martin luther king jr those behind the show say they want people to think about what a lot of them when it means that picks up the story. an exhibition called martyrs museum has just opened in the german capital alongside socrates and martin lisa king jr it places those that flew planes into the world trade center the attackers of the butter clan theater the suicide bomber that killed forty people on the

moscow metro saying that they are all examples of people that gave their lives for what they believe did it's all part of a festival of northern european art it was the brainchild of today with both the organizes and the artists themselves refused to either give us an interview or to allow me to film the exhibition they did send this e-mail what do the people of. and think about must moved or is being venerated in this way is it right to put these people on display in this type of exhibition here and there i know from you know like it was just a reference i think that people would have differing perspectives obviously lumping different groups of people together is always a complicated subject because they come from different backgrounds i don't know and i don't think so why. because he has two different types of people and it's not the same move we agree with even perspective on this is not for us to decide because it

is i pretty much us the exhibition is about is about moving the psychology behind most of them or towards people who do certain things it's not a problem as long as the exhibition focuses on the differentiation of martyrdom that could potentially lead to murder curses martyrdom that that you know the civil rights for example like that's just basic human rights the motto or. die only for themselves or believe yeah yeah they have to leave and the on the murder because they count i'm not that person are many other persons i don't think that but you can put things together they also said previously explained to the media that the idea was to try and put yourself in the mindset of somebody who's willing to die for what they believed in even if that belief was horrific to you

a sensory experience using lights and sounds to try to explain the old adage of one man's terrorist being another man's freedom fighter. the point is to present a complex view on the world of martyrs and we understand that everyone has a different perspective but it's the personal perspective that matters in this exhibition but for some it's impossible to see the artistic intention beyond the reality of an exhibition that places mass murderers alongside civil rights champions peter olver r.t. berlin. the government of any share has given washington permission to use drones in anti terror operations in the country as according to multiple sources r.t. as he goes down of breaks down what impact that could have drones one of america's best loved warfare tactics is reportedly coming to africa's west coast news year

a potential new pin on the u.s. bombing map as washington pushes ahead with its anti extremist campaign on the continent a leaked memo outlines the units and bolts of the deal between the pentagon and news you're calling for arming of the surveillance drones operating from a local base also an additional troops deployment. this operation supports the long term strategic partnership between the ninety states in nigeria as well as the on going if it to counter violent extremism throughout the region all in the name of the war on terror since nine eleven the pentagon has been hell bent on dropping bombs from on afghanistan yemen pakistan somalia the line up goes on really but for civilians in those countries a distant buzz up in the sky can be a death warrant in fact the u.s. drones have slaughtered some one and a half thousand civilians according to an estimate by the bureau of investigative journalism and the figure shouldn't really come as much of

a surprise to anyone who's seen what has been among the drone star gets. the same unit which would be in charge of drone operations is standing accused of killing ten civilians in somalia this summer something the u.s. africa command has denied now that the u.s. is apparently planning to open

a new front in its drone war this could also mean more work for the pentagon's p.r. machine you've done of our. a month ago the death of four u.s. soldiers in an. revealed america's military presence in the country something even senior u.s. politicians seemed unaware of american troops were deployed under the obama administration to help me cheri and forces find local terrorist cells african affairs analyst lawrence freeman says that west african countries can be put under a lot of pressure by various western partners probably less than a thousand troops in the year and this will now give the increase that over a thousand this is the first time armed drones will be flying so this is a big problem for the government and for west africa and for all the africa. is now allowing united states to carry out these kinds of military

attacks if you will not work it's not going to be successful without a war do strategic picture and the african countries now are being pressured by the west and the trump ministration to allow these arms another new theory build up and i'm sure it's going to cause to many many internal problems and it will not solve the problem of terrorism we'll be back after this short break. here's what people have been saying about redacted the night was you know i was actually just full on awesome deal the show i go out of my way to find you know what it is that really packs a punch. yampa is the john oliver of hearty americans do the same we are apparently better than booth. i see people you've never heard of love redacted tonight my

president of the world bank go. write me. send us an email join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sport this list i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. there is no center in the united states' political discourse it's all center right ever since the clinton people came into power the center right has become the right and there is no peace party that exists in my country and i don't see any evidence of it except this third party that is so criticized you know we. can back the former u.s. national security advisor michael finton has pleaded guilty to lying to the f.b.i.

for his links to the venue russian ambassador to the u.s. it's like a kidney hack with the latest his. 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 on 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 tell our vice president. properly and then he said

he didn't remember so either way it was a very satisfactory to me 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 political commentator

steve molds but they don't know trump is likely to be badly damaged by the latest developments. sure he lied to the f.b.i. why he chose to lie about these meetings that with. i don't know what he did and he pleaded guilty for it now they're saying always going to tell everything about trial and coercion or what to tell why none of this relates to kowloon kulula this is all president elect trump asking or or someone on his staff saying hey reach out to foreign countries by the way the great and the mccarthy former federal prosecutor writes today it's commonplace for an incoming national security adviser to go to foreign countries and talk to his counterparts or reach them on the phone it anticipation of a new administration there's nothing here that's that's that going to get trouble for or course you're in trouble. wonderous has imposed a nation wide curfew and made an arrest on the allegations of ballot stuffing in
