i believe. to speak honestly about. people don't look at me differently on the street people don't treat me differently . she's against some of the stereotypes that we are presented with. so tell us what pleasantly surprised you about the confederation's. what you just described when i came for the first time in it was in july last year. one month after my assignment and definitely like every african. i was just feeling to be treated differently and i was ready to. people think differently about africa and africans but i've been here for at least twenty times together i haven't had any issues wherever i go to

explain what doing. is modernising image i have received a warm welcome. during the confederation the people from even different. visiting for the first time happened to be muslim receive a very special treat in because somehow. where we have. a predominantly muslim population and they were sending me messages the configuration kept telling me five arabic nash and that qualified for the world cup . please know that you can count on us what you think about russia reality and to leave the reality and three. months you definitely need to be.

twenty eighteen. that are going to be people. in arabic in spanish in english around the world to a huge. message that you want to give. the world in this next year. they have to come and he sees that wonderful fine experience safety and security i'll guarantee it and very seriously. implemented. in the host cities you will be discovering a country. of diversity you can experience many different also. in particular. and you have two of the best in the world coming here and the world

possible way because the us did not shoot around a corner. if you were competing like the auto insurance industry why four thousand dollars a year can i be protected against all these medical emergencies that take place in my car therefore we know that the price of having medical insurance or be a thousand dollars a year about thirty thousand dollars a year they're overcharging by twenty five thousand dollars where's it going it's going to oligarchs american oligarchs. who go through swarms of them so moving. who moved before. much of those who heard the food you. knew we were. we were go. move. move.

move showed you the stupid you who. looked good. move just like most of these go through to do films for good good prove. the good issue so look why do you do some you want me to show the story to the issue or go. to starbucks to get it to me to do it with the little blue mist they'd say look it is a. contest not a chance to just meet their mashed on the trail to stop the president and he's introduced more to come to. associate producers to go to school to snoop come up to do it because that is the girls who are serious who produced the good shoes they should shouldn't be for you should go to for one who is doing.

delighted to be joined by. international as well back here in london delighted to have year. italian on. an iconic football tournament your relative rookie. england scoring only four or five caps before being called a boy. firstly how much of an owner was the future apply. for

his own son it was the biggest thing ever for me because i grew up wanting to play for a bigger tame as possible and that was a little bit of a spurs fan and then played an f.a. cup final to play for england and if i was to go to now it's always now with kids is to plan a champions league when you say it's one of their playing for england and want to play champions league but maybe the same thing year time span is about playing as high as you can mourn anythings to represent the country and that's what i wanted to do not fortunate enough to do it. for english players who put a club and champions league before their country i think the managers are telling them the most important thing for them is their place and when it's a planet champions lake and. the majority manages a foreign they don't really care about a national same song and the plaza got that in their heads in this a believe the champions league is what's put him out there so they are there for

him to for now to plan a chance leg not to play for their country because they really are not dealing with the criticism they're getting to represent their country and to be honest represent your country is a challenge and when you actually have a challenge you're willing to take that. you know at the goods but you have to take the bad as well very very fortunate because of what happened some lady who represent my country and then i was just poor power play for queens park rangers and no one of the sudden i come back. who played in world cup semifinal playing for queens park rangers yes that lifted my status immensely that morning if you know q.p.r. fans haven't forgotten it from a it just lifted me to a level which i've never knew before in my life growing up in the id's there's a lot of racial abuse remember van dusen the first black player. got death threats lexus boy just being the first black player it's where in england shirts so when

you get into england squad you money at four or five caps with. but drop of racism still in the gang still in the stands was it more of a challenge for a black man to represent england than it was tough on him again when was in when was in italy we have a training session a training session and there was quite a few of them have come in and watched the groups and i mean i think probably also know we made a massive mistake having an open session because may john bones and does will come . very very legends very very badly i look at the point of when i. mean gas it's gunplay in not in a friend in england big i'm in iceland and it must've been a bad monist twenty five it was absolutely freezing i remember telling to ray go to hypothermia. couldn't play he was too cold we played a game and i would go abuse playing in the big guy and it was like a gang of these neo nazis who turned up just to abuse me did you feel you have to

prove yourself going into the world. majlis belief and that was the outcome there and always a little bit content to be you know to be there for when gary stevens going because bobby robson was so loyal to those players during that pay rates but when you mention a bad challenger spent the whole of my life but only the start of mockery and times in it that she believed in because almost black novel was being brought up in that way and it was said to me. many years ago no no it wasn't that clint that wasn't for inside him oddly want to be cousins. you know black and white if you do you could never be an equal to a white man you have to be better than him to stand a chance of him if you recall there was going to go for the white man and that's the way it was that was my mentality was that's a bit better and do a job to give myself the opportunity to play germany a world cup semifinal the first world cup semifinal since nineteen sixty six we

relaxed because the germans were overwhelming favorite snuffy. before nothing trying to tow the bit i think we're really suddenly cold made things a change we all a sudden you know for three years prior i was playing in the third edition with. the world cup semifinal with england was in that sound of war and i was just looking at all these germans doesn't matter how tall they were or hell small they were they were absolutely immaculate there was some there was like there was eleven mannequins there there was just everything there was muscles in the right place. there was stomachs and not around it all around there are sleeping. chris wardo on the sea in all different body shapes of us english and it was there was you know there was there's me i think if i was standing on the bench in michael of the british or the bell is in store for this or the jervis i was aware of and be honest i could have been the worst and i could be the worst. certainly judging appearance

is the front cover and they were absolutely immaculate oh i think i wanted to be one of a moment just to look small and but then you get on the page the way we started going was it was incredible to show what you're all wrong because you're involved in two goals is to create a second one so first of all ok freekick germany have to say are you sure that go but we were someone who may because he saw me as the quickest to get them close than. eight months. of. change the united direction of boyfriend challenge the difference was it went up it's a market flatlines. was off is low and we can question should be a goalie but in that i like chinese the movement of the ball that went in the first three or four that was. as maybe nine to cost england the world cup. the happening you just saw it on the pitch differing on the pitch and then the positive happens

in the run so i don't mean forward as you always do. long right all right to left to the senses as the ice in your books which is essential structure is perfect because this chaos at that point you just want somebody to say the past you saw the past gary lineker capitalizes on some panic. did you feel redemption oh yeah and it was just it was just a minute i want to say for you i couldn't do anything because of homeboy. from a because i'm saying again is that's not an area the park was generally always in always or proprietor that i was always in the middle i was never no can impose an area you know what i am and i quote a percentage past here's an opportunity to try and put a bow in behind and that's what i've done and it is it was the percentage once i think the first half didn't deal with it very well and gary being gary's in there on his own and he picked up the pieces and that's what gary was great and that was gary lineker that was his strength draw at the end of the game and it goes

to penalties did you feel nervous excited because you were on one side step away from getting to the world cup final but you're also i won't kick a woman mr y for a glorious failure we fail in the penalty box panel so i was co-op and i was like i was like a fan just looking at that why not but not even thinking i was going to fight when i was watching and i'm well where i am and that's how i was but did i think the pace was going to miss a penalty not a million years because he was another one you'd almost put your house in scoring goals he scored so many for forest penalties you never believe that stuart pearce was evidence of this a penalty you mentioned about chris waddle how good were you when he missed his penalty when everyone was chris chris was loved by everybody and he's not one you'd believe he was going to score but everyone was disappointed i think it was and he was obviously more in the manner in which he missed it stuart pearce was very very

upset but no one was trying to help comfort. you left him in his own space again. chris was a little bit down shows was telling himself he went away every single time and chris christie someone who reminded him that maybe shouldn't die five minutes live anymore i got there how did you feel finally when you landed at luton airport and there were. three full five hundred thousand people whites in for the team did that shock you did it surprise you did it make you think crikey what it would have women's it did but i did wonder if some kind of ban was on the plane beyond or something like that because you thought it was a big and attendant maybe debate was it got back together somehow because it was absolutely crazy manic trying to drive home to an e m one and it was scary stand driving around because people were going past the car coming from heads out trying to take pictures i think some people followed me all the way back i was living in woken and then i think some people from i'm not i'm from i lived anywhere near

there so they follow me almost to drive around a little bit just to lose them as i didn't know where i lived and then went on to when i arrived home. lived in a place state called woods hill in one can and as i drive inside the cul de sac there's a big banner up welcoming home another big straight part for me i think after about an hour i have to go i think the occasion got to me at two or three drinks went into the house and a question i've been living round there then for over a year not really even stopped in the street. people said to me do i know you all said. yeah but no one knew me for us and after that it was just something. to strange really. really appreciate you joining us great to say yes and thank you very much you're welcome emira thank you very much that.

is this is harlan kentucky. the oldest moved the employees to go to st fanny's. a co money city with almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal miners a said i'd. love to see these people a survivor of a world disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger

that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happened it's happened. tracking gave americans a lot of new job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year drove a truck so i chose to drive truck people who rushed. a small town in north dakota was among the employment rate of zero percent like the gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here anymore slowdowns from us they lost their jobs got laid off the american dream is changing but that's not what it used to be. and it's a tough reality. shows

seem wrong. when all rolls just all. get to shape out these days comes to etiquette and in games from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when you choose to look for common ground . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in. theory dramatic developments only. exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and talk.

with this is of the aftermath of the alleged chemical attack in the syrian city of do miss a video released by russia's defense ministry that those brought to hospital were not showing symptoms consistent with exposure to a chemical agent. also in syria rebels are poised to assist any possible u.s. strikes against a mask says russia's u.n. ambassador. and other hundreds of palestinians reportedly injured in gaza or israeli troops. tear gas to disperse demonstrators along the border. clashes for. warm welcome in russia before the teams much could see has come despite the

concerns about russian who look at. the world cup so when you come if you stop and you see that there's no problems russians are lovely i mean to say what happens to drink governments or what happens between people are totally different. firstly the syria crisis again the main story dominating an important development to bring to retention russia's defense ministry has released a video in which witnesses of the aftermath of the alleged chemical attack in syria's dumas say there was no indication that those rushed to hospital had been exposed to a chemical agent. my name is. i am a medical student i work in the e.r. department of dumas central hospital on april eighth

a building in the city was the upper floors were destroyed and the bottom floors caught fire and all the injured from that building were brought to our hospital. that the residents from the upper floors were suffering from smoke inhalation and that is what we treated them for based on the symptoms they exhibited this is a bit of a dominating headlines over the past few days that incident in duma whatever took place is attracted very different versions of events from the russian side the syrian side and the u.s. u.k. and france something did happen in do all the seventh of april with the western nations on the what helmets group on the ground in syria claiming it was a chemical attack by the damascus government on civilians killing and injuring dozens the russian side the mask is saying this was a setup now today we've got that evidence allegedly from the russian modi saying they have identified an individual in the video you can see just being played bad that video was used as part of the evidence by. western nations to prove that

there was a chemical attack in duma as those rebels and civilians were being evacuated you can see the man highlighted the witness there on the video just for our viewers they claim they've identified him subsequently asked exactly what happened in that incident on the seventh of april in dubai let's take a listen to what exactly had to say about what took place in the hospital after. that during treatment some person came in i don't know who that was and said that it was a chemical attack. when the. people got scared a fight broke out. relatives of the victims started pouring water on one another. then others began to give inhalers for asthma the children. even though these people were not medical professionals we did not see any patients exhibiting symptoms of chemical poisoning. so this video amongst others of course quite shocking disturbing images of civilian casualties was circulated online all social

media and cited by the information and organizations countries as evidence of that chemical attack and evidence of course is the key word here is the real crux of the issue of what o.p.c. w team heading over to do more on the way that they should be there over the next twenty four forty eight hours or so believe they have arrived in syria their findings will be key to establishing what really happened in duma whether there was some sort of chemical incident by the damascus government by as the western nations are saying or as we heard from the russian. the russian military has gathered evidence that indicates the direct involvement of great britain organizing the provocation in eastern ukraine we know for a fact that london pressured the so-called why the helmets to carry out their plans provocation as soon as possible they were told that from the third to the sixth of april rebels would carry out a series of heavy showings of damascus and that this would lead to a reaction from the government forces which the white helmets should use for their

provocation and to allege the use of chemical weapons so these are obviously quite strong allegations from the russian ministry of defense or other counter allegations us to this alleged chemical incident in do something they will have to obviously provide evidence for specifically for for britain's involvement in this the key bit of evidence that as we said before is the arrival of the o.p.c. team with the u.n. and that he would instructions on the ground to get those soil samples get those examined any victims if there are any and find out if any chemicals were used that's the key thing to. prove what exactly happened and to give the gravitas and credibility to either of these two versions will find that out of course in the next twenty four to forty eight hours. however those who reported on the alleged attack in duma have some question marks hanging over their credibility covering that next word go. reports of a chemical attack first appeared strange enough it's almost the precise moment the

battle had ended when the syrian government that rebels were negotiating on how to evacuate the latter reports first appeared on social media twitter facebook and spread like wildfire while my colleague kendall anian and i have learned today that the u.s. now has blood and a year in samples from some of the victims of this attack in syria last weekend and that those samples according to u.s. officials tested positive for chemicals sources the usuals why the helmets who service rescuers islamists and syrian rebels also the somewhat less known syrian american medical society saddam's together with the white helmets they were cited by the washington post the new york times c.n.n. virtually every western media outlets reporting on this chemical attack on saturday april seventh amidst continuous bombardment of residential neighborhoods in the

city of duma more than five hundred cases the majority of whom are women and children were brought to local medical centers with symptoms indicative of exposure to a chemical agent sams that self is funded by u.s. aid six million in two thousand and fifteen usaid is widely believed to be an arm of the state department and is banned in multiple countries accused of interfering in domestic policies and promoting regime change it even has an office of transition initiatives the management at sam's also believe it or not former usaid stuff was saddam's who reportedly provided the you who said that but you would solve pools of the alleged sarin gas that was used that. the site of a chemical attack last year after which. donald trump sent fifty seven cruise missiles at the syrian airbase o.p.c. w. is on its way to duma to investigate we've contacted various groups including the

world health organization they've cited saddam's but have refused to go into any details what comes next no one can say whether the u.s. will go ahead with a preemptive strike or whether cooler heads will prevail. as a mushroom from a five intelligence officer. you're taking these details where we are to what extent could the witness testimony here that's been put forward by russia's defense ministry change or this perceived chemical attack these allegations of it being viewed will it make any difference or nah. well has been a russian in the west to stampede towards trying to escalate the violence in syria but one would hope that once the o.p.c. w. gets its boots on the ground and starts investigating properly taking witness statements taking samples they may may come to a more measured conclusion what i find really alarming though is the hypocrisy of

what's going on in the un at the moment where the un american representative nikki haley has been saying today that the russians are just being obstructive in this whole investigation they keep vetoing things they keep stopping things they refuse to agree to forms of words and yet at the very same time over the last couple of weeks we've had these demonstrations in gaza where the israelis have been shooting protesters and countries have been trying at the same time in the u.n. to launch objections and it's the u.s. that's featuring all these so you know what's going on between these two sides is hypocritical at best certainly with the u.s. response what were the saluki haley today just a few hours ago she says the u.s. the u.k. and france of all right to the same conclusion concerning the alleged attack of but let's listen to a. did a chemical weapons attack happened yes the u.s. has the analyzed yes it has happened the u.k. has analyzed it yet it happened france has been lived yet it is that receptor now

it's it's all coming back with the same thing there is proof that that's happened. what she referring to there were she says analyzed considering no british no american experts on the ground though so what evidence are they analyzing. well that's very good question i mean one presumes they're trawling through their vast databases of electronic surveillance and might have picked up some chatter of some whispers from who knows who who might be on the ground in syria i mean let's bear in mind as well a member seeing this live on international media a few weeks ago that one of the senior russian generals actually warned there was going to be a false flag a chemical weapons attack in syria now you know where is that coming from as well because you know the russians were picking up chatter but you know in the other direction this is why the o.p.c. w. has to be so careful in gathering evidence in analyzing what might have happened speaking to eyewitnesses as well because you know we've had a.
