that for for certain games and we're certain that the stadiums are full and about take a deficit we're going to get to that but tell me are british fans still buy the tickets yes large numbers decent numbers here. and there was a moment among leaders in europe oh that's amazing but those are also a lot of talk about royal family not coming after this cripple incident and obviously british officials not coming and some of the european politicians also said there were income does that i don't know take away from the status of this tournament you know it doesn't first ever found it is equally valuable despite of his professional occupation. it's a personal decision whether or whether to come to watch and support your own team or not well we're glad that some people will miss miss out on this opportunity. but for us. it's a personal decision it has no reflection of the water on the world cup itself so

one year ago i remember there were football union came up with this idea of gentle fans one russian fans were welcoming brits in rostov with warm blankets and the like that this time around. were organizing in summer so no war no warm blankets ok maybe that you know we should we find something else or over or but no there is a traditional. welcome kid by fee for. a certain initiatives that we take. to. reserve your fans but. this was a club decision club initiative. of course for world cup was a bigger event for a. bigger volumes of people so blankets will not be used but i know russia summers get chilling the evening. most of the rest of. what you have to take a short break right now when we're back we'll continue talking to insist that all

king chairman and c.e.o. of the russia two thousand and eighteen world cup a local organizing committee stay with us. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic development the only move really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be increasingly violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just the lawyer who. put the. school in the middle of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty four g. and. those who took. invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. the

politics are washed them up and driven by the fossil fuel energy lobbyist they could have gone into renewable ten twenty years earlier and those jobs would be in place generating good paying jobs in america would be part of a growing world beating industry because they kowtow to those lobbyist they got stuck in the coal business which up liberated by the gas business which is a dodgy to a lot of reasons and now it's going to be obliterated by the chinese led revolution in song. seemed wrong all along just don't hold. any of these yet to shape out disdain. and in. equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

and we're back with chairman and c.e.o. if there were twenty eighteen world cup local organizing committee. during friendly match with rains in st petersburg i remember late march few french players actually claimed that they were subject to racist abuse i mean i know that you can't really prevent incidents for exist because there's no cure for human stupidity but. anything you can do to minimize things like that. of course i would been doing that

together with the russian football union thing as we think in general a lot has been done and the number of such incidents what exactly. well usually it's twofold it's. explaining to people why it shouldn't be done and what's wrong with that. in general. both russian football union and the organizing committee has a very firm stance against. against racist behavior. but then the second part of it is the inevitability of punishment and people should understand that that it's a certain liability it is inevitable that they would band from the stadium or criminally prosecuted. but the bad the biggest part of it is explaining why it's why it's wrong. that they're harming their own country their own team. and that's really in general there's no way to behave and say get. rid of the number of

incidents reduce significantly over the last two weeks two years that means the. efforts are more fruitful. so the video assistant referee or the v.a.r. as it's known it will be the first that during this world cup that it's used and there's plenty of talk about its effectiveness and the stoppage of the causes to the game how are you going to make sure that it goes down to set success because i mean there's already added pressure on referees you know want fans to remember they saw the world cup as anything it's exactly what the system is doing is taking the pressure off referees and exclude exclude the possibility of a mistake. mistakes take place and it's quite clear. so the video assistant referee takes away this this possibility. when you're watched by. forty thousand. at the stadium with a billion

a billion people outside the stadium but it's it's quite a pressure. for a referee. and we're all here one of several the idea is to take out the human factor and to make the game more to bring more justice to the game and so believe this initiative has a lot of future it was well tested during the conference cup. and there's already multiple application for for the use of this system by many leagues throughout the world but are you not nervous like you'll be the first one really using it and the scale no the system works fine or. there has been a lot of tests technically it's perfect or what fee for will fall into is is its presentation of the screen for the people who work out some details but in general it works perfectly well so why is us actually saying that it's not yet clear how

this system should be efficiently utilized are they just waiting to see a world cup in russia as a test drive where they are that is possible but there are many. european leagues who are pioneering in. implementing this system german leagues again among them. but i cannot comment on behalf of us will see after the world cup. so tickets you brought them up. it's really hard to get them at this point it's first come first serve face ticket purchasing. how do i know that most of the tickets that were bought up that they were actually sold weren't bought by scalpers and they're not going to be resold five hundred times the price . well there is no whole world cup that can guarantee that there is no speculation. but i think we we. made appropriate

efforts to avoid this is much as possible first of all the tickets. are expensive enough. they are we have found i do system which also is another another obstacle on the way. the russian federation has made liability more stringent for those who decide to. illicitly profit from ticket sales but in general we cannot one hundred percent exclude the possibility of a legal sales of tickets it happens at every world cup we hope that it's just that it will be kept in check during this one based on these measures to help us get tickets you know right now. i'm. in formation. right now it's fee for dot com.

and ticket centers who can help you it's not the organizing committee organising committed to do it does not do take it. or it's a joke put aside a rumor has it that accommodation prices are skyrocketing during a world cup and like a city like surrounds that no one probably has ever heard of. will set back a tourist thousand dollars per night as it turned. well anything's possible wilko preserves a big universe but in general. they're happy that it was a special decree by the government adopted a long time ago which controls the tickets so they can control the oil prices sorry . there's appropriate authorities who control the implementation of this decree. there could be sporadic attempts of certain hotels to. suddenly increase the prices but. in general they're there and corrected them by by proper authorities

and if there are if there is private. accommodation that suddenly decide to make additional profits while the market will. be well off balanced. we believe that the closer to the event prices will be will reach their equipment. so for unfortunate fans who like me who are unable to get tickets because you want to help you know whether or not fortune five hundred ng like buying tickets on the internet will i still be able to sort of bite into the whole atmosphere are you going to have like exclaims in parks or restaurants where people can watch if you're not on a stadium full of free for the unfortunate fans as you call them there is a fee for fan fests which are located at central squares at every city will be a big screen it will be entertainment programs food and drinks and there are people

can watch the games of the world cup enjoy the atmosphere. have a lot of fun and now i know what's what at what i'm expecting from this world cup. free training rights between the hosts it is tell me how that's going to work. that's a very complicated system organized by the our minister of transport it's. more than seven hundred free trains which will operate among russia's set is which will carry the ticket holders free of charge of course this suggests a preliminary booking. people cannot just expect to come to the railway station and board the near straight. they should reserve a seat but this reservation is going on. this is another example of of our initiative which was well tested during the confederations cup and received

a lot of good comments. what about the the the planes because most air travel and leisure not be free you know that that i understand but most of the are travelling russia has to go with a layover in moscow is this the way it's going to be this time around to like if you want to connect to the host cities you need to do a layover in where we're in discussion with the russian federation authorities and air companies. and in general there is an intention to. put additional airplanes where there is a demand so right now we're. examining this demand analyzing it where when and when demand is clear they can put additional. additional planes additional air routes which connects it is not from mosco but but directly. and it's his head again thanks a lot for this interview for this insight for clearing things up good luck with

everything that gets out there watching from the big screen and sharing. thank you you thank . join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest in the world of politics sports this list i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to

resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies to meet the people themselves with simple song alone even some company elsewhere though they invite private companies to take over the utilities anybody tell us they're all. allowed from us you guys you got. to go. i've been this is. for you member of the left bill brought up locals are ready to stand up for the basic human right of access to water it's about water but it's also over much more than the war it's about the hurt and the redistribution of all of. us and dare debt downwards we want all.

twenty eighteen coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of alternative but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge tournaments and a huge amount of pressure come out you have to be the center of the problem here with you and do all the great the greatest good you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get going let's go. alone. and i'm really happy to join for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia meet the special one come on. they say needs to just say the reno p.r.t. teams latest edition make i think i need to. look.

at the plate for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch put the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill the narrowness and spending two hundred twenty million and one player. it's an experience like nothing else i want to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so one more chance for. a nice minute. the united states. and its attacks on other countries. economic sanctions or are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the

countries the truth talking about. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. leave the responsibility for the head. and we need to make rules for the rest of. those without us there will be. a. lot.

to palestinians are reported killed in gaza protests says the u.s. prepares to open its embassy in jerusalem with bring in human life pictures right now. a british tabloid ramps up the fairfax one month before the world cup in russia using a photo project to highlight football violence however the old first. his work has been twisted. plus demonstrations and a tear at the end of french president emanuel mccraw first year in office. many in france same porn is like a king who doesn't understand his subjects. a

warm welcome you're watching r t international with me. now we begin this hour with breaking news from the israeli gaza border where two palestinians have reportedly been killed in protests denouncing the relocation of the u.s. embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem palestinians throughout the west bank and gaza have been urged to turn out for the protest we're showing you live pictures from the balls that border right now with the palestinian islamic group hamas saying as many as two hundred thousand people are expected to take part today the embassy is due to open and around four hours time in response the israeli military has boosted its presence along the border the u.s. embassy move has ignited tensions across the middle east for months already despite that israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu insists other countries should

follow america's example. these you wrote this is jerusalem because it. needs you and this is. because. donald trump announced the move last year if actively breaching america's long lasting neutrality on the israeli palestinian conflict both of you jerusalem as their own city and the decision has been viewed as showing a pro israeli bias. these are live pictures from protests in ramallah now for the last hour or so it's been an go to black smoke highest local journalist mohammad on my ear valley of protests there in his report from that. protesters

have actually set fire to several tires in the area with the smoke covering the area and the israeli soldiers have set themselves along the wall and along the checkpoint to keep the protestors buc similar demonstrations are said to occur in nablus as well as hebron and as well as bit left him where the situation across the west bank is tense in general on this day once for the next day and another for the relocation of the american embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. meanwhile in the city of ramallah near the center of the town and in the fischel a commemoration has been organized by the policy an authority and several other activists and members of palestinian national and islamic forces to mark this day to raise their voices in rejection of the american decision against the embassy. while in other places of the west bank pledges of already began in villages and in areas outside of ramallah and outside of the major cities we can expect to see more

protests we can expect to see some violence later on in the day as more people join these protests. in union against the american decision on middle east correspondent paula snare reports on what we can expect in jerusalem today. well after a lot of speculation the american president donald trump is not going to attend the embassy opening instead he has seen his daughter and her husband they attended ever simpson that was hosted last night sunday by the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he also invited all eighty six diplomatic missions in the country to celebrate this move but only thirty three confirmed attendance amongst them will guatemala and pug why both of whom on schedule to their own embassies to jerusalem later this month now also in attendance were representatives from hungary romania as well as the czech republic but interestingly enough there were no waste in the e.u. states present and this is despite the fact that washington approval for it we saw

the u.s. resorting to some dirty tricks when the u.s. ambassador to the united nations and nikki haley issued a threatening letter as you consider the vote i want you to know the president and the u.s. take this vote personally he will be watching this move carefully and has requested our report back on those who voted against us thank you for your consideration. now ever since the american president announced the embassy moved back in december they have been protests not only in the region but internationally. just two days ago we saw residents of jerusalem marched through the city also condemning this move came today because i firmly believe jerusalem belongs to everybody and there's just too much bad stuff being done in the name and. i think

this is a group of people coming to the center of jerusalem. particularly this coming right where. that's just by liberates just. keeping up the occupation and. coming out to the forefront of the embassy right. and mr i want to join to say right now we are only. going to start to show you know the. sharks scored. zero. yesterday scuffles also broke out at the temple mount in jerusalem between palestinian and israeli worshippers there was actually an attempt by some israelis to mount the israeli flag and one israeli has been arrested what we're hearing now from him us is that as many as two hundred thousand palestinians will turn out to protest throughout the course of the day so of course that was why the expectation

that they could be clashes the israeli army has issued a somewhat over the top video trying to justify what many have called its outrageous response is really destroyed. and whole innocent men women and children. this is not the video that anyone wants to see this week the israel defense forces will do everything to protect the civilians from the math that hamas is planning ever since donald trump and nonce the embassy and has promised what he scored the deal of the same peace between israelis and palestinians we've witnessed nothing but growing tensions and violence on the ground so more people are really asking whether this conflict that is essentially centuries old is in any way going to be better served by moving the american embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and more people coming forward and saying unfortunately no. but states have long time claims over the territory here's

a look at how the conflict all started and what's next after washington's embassy move. jerusalem is a city that's been a point of contention for nearly a thousand years ever since the first crusaders arrived to drive the muslim population away the nearly two centuries the area was governed by christian congress under the name of the kingdom of jerusalem but the end of the thirteenth century there had been eight crusades in the holy land and up under muslim control with so much turbulent religious history today the area holds significance for christians jews and muslims alike all regard different parts of the old city to be their holy sites and since the formation of the state of israel in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight israel considers jerusalem to be its capital the subsequent conflict with the arab neighbors so israel captured and annex the entire city of jerusalem the move has never been recognized by the united nations it stands firm on the idea of establishing the two state solution where israel and

palestine exist independently so by president trump announcing moving the embassy to jerusalem he's underlined that the u.s. recognizes the holy city to be the capital of israel for the international community that goes against the notion that in any change in the city status should come through negotiations and not a unilateral action has made it very difficult for the palestinian leadership to turn to any kind of negotiation. international consensus that was there for almost seventy years but clearly he has made decisions of. consequences of of if he has already alienated many countries including. those already. started hearing some negative call of responses from some of the european allies in germany and france who see. this trying to dictate to the.

with twenty eighteen football world cup exactly one month away a british newspaper has been warning fans to expect a bruising from bare knuckle fighters it takes the series by a thirty and photographer who's been working in moscow to highlight their supporters will be given a hostile welcome however the creator says his work has been taken out of context r.t. if daniel hawkins takes a closer look as thousands of england fans packed very bags for russia this summer it seems one thing they won't be needing are travel guides forget trip advisor or planet the sun all the crucial info along with a handy photo guide is not for the faint hearted though ultraviolence images ahead of the world cup uses some pretty hard hitting photos from a twenty fifty mm project by a serbian photographer known as boogie well the images and captions certainly make an impression.
