we we're also looking at it like anybody else. hopefully there be but it's more about the system source rather than policing or taking measures it's about making sure that everybody is comfortable that there is no wishes. that everybody everybody has responses to their questions so that we my idea would be that it's more about about assisting and making people comfortable about their visa situation i mean most of the fans and was in the countries they're going to be taking part and the world cup will need business to come to russia like if you go to the embassy and say i'm going to the world cup it's going to be easier to get a visa will be the situation. is very simple we fulfilled our promise to the who was football community. this world cup is visa free. people should just get an id and with an idea where they can travel visa free.
11:01 pm
will they can also present. a substitution of family to your certificate or even electronic one and they will be let into the country without a visa. fan ids or you can send by mail it's very simple to apply for it it's free service for every ticket holder and we think it's going to be very convenient for everyone. you're kind of operating in a very on easy political situation coincidentally it just so happened yes but in the yeah so you get foreign secretary johnson compared world cup in russia to the nazi olympics and nine hundred thirty six. does that frustrate your work for what frustrates us is that some officials do not. fully understand or do not fully accept the principle of football being beyond politics
11:02 pm
that's a fundamental principle of the world for both. of them were good that some people may have opinions but it's their own opinions it doesn't influence opinions of many other football fans who are buying tickets every day at large volumes we have very good ticket sales people who vote for the world cup in russia with their money. there is a there is even to take a deficit for for certain games and we're certain that the stadiums are full and about take the deficit we're going to get to that but tell me our 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 there was 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 it doesn't first ever found is equally valuable despite of his
11:03 pm
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 world 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. we're organizing in summer so no war no warm blankets ok maybe that you know we should we find something else or over or but you know there is a traditional. welcome kid by fee for. a certain initiatives that we take. to . reserve your fans but. this was
11:04 pm
a club decision club initiative. of course for world cup was a bigger event for the bigger volumes of people so blankets will not be used well i don't know russia summers get chilling the evening. most of the rest of it we 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. when the whole make this manufacture come sentenced him to the public wells. when
11:05 pm
the running plus a summer project themselves. with the financial merry go round of lives only the one percent. going old middle of the room sick moves. to move million real names. oh. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be all for rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building
11:06 pm
two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only buddha. the united states has always had a tools to use in its tax on other countries. economic sanctions are are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is play some military pressure on the countries attorney talking about. the end of their past to me and. country leader. is a responsibility for the. we. are
11:07 pm
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
11:08 pm
together with the russian football union thing that we think in general a lot has been done and the number of such incidents what exactly. well but usually it's twofold it's. explaining to people why it should 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 in there with the billet of punishment people should understand that that a certain liability is inevitable that they would be banned from the stadium or criminally prosecuted. but 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 the in general there's no way to behave it say get. rid of the number of incidents
11:09 pm
reduce significantly over the last two weeks two years that means the. efforts are are fruitful. so the video assistant referee or the v.a.r. as it's known it will be the first up during this world cup that it's used and there's plenty of talk about its effectiveness and the stoppages 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 this for the world cup as it is 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 boy. forty thousand. at the stadium with a billion
11:10 pm
a billion people outside the stadium but it's it's quite a pressure. for a referee. in the role he would assemble the idea is to take out the human factor and to make the game more to bring more justice to the game so i 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 know the system works for and or. there has been a lot of tests technically it's perfect what fee for will fall into is its presentation of the screen for the people who work out some details but in general it works perfectly well so wise us are actually saying that it's not yet clear how
11:11 pm
this system should be efficiently utilized are they just waiting to see the world cup in russia as a test drive or they are that it's possible but there are many. european leagues who are pioneering in. implementing the system german league is 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 served face ticket purchase saying. 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
11:12 pm
efforts to avoid this is much as possible first of all 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. right now. i'm. finding mission safe. for. right now it's fee for the comp.
11:13 pm
and ticket centers who can help you it's not the organizing committee organising committed to do it does not to take it's. 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 is that true. 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
11:14 pm
and if there are if there is private. accommodation that suddenly decide to make additional profits while the market will. be well off balance that. 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 ing 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 well for the unfortunately as you call them there is a fee for fan fests which are located in central squares at every city will be a big screen it will be entertainment programs food and drinks and there are people
11:15 pm
can watch the games of the world cup enjoy the atmosphere. i was a lot of fun and now i know what's what at what i'm expecting from this world cup. free train rights between the hosts it is tell me how that's going to work. it's a very complicated system organized by the our minister of transport it's. more than seven hundred free trains which will operate among russian cities which will carry 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 nearest train. and they should reserve a seat but this reservation is going on. this is another example. of our initiative which was well tested during the confederations cup and received
11:16 pm
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 traveling 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's an. intention to. put additional airplanes where there is a demand so right now we're. examining this demand analyzing it where when demand is clear they can put additional. additional planes additional air routes which connects it is not from mosco but but directly right and it's his head again thanks a lot for this interview for this insight for clearing things up good luck with
11:17 pm
everything i guess out there watching from the big screen and sharing. thank you you thank . i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside out. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch pull the funnel school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each a billionaire owners and spending two hundred and twenty million on one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy a great so well more transfer. and thinks this minute.
11:18 pm
across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies. this is the simple song alone even some company elsewhere though they invite private companies to take over the utilities anybody tell us that. we got. to go. this is. for you bill brought up locals are ready to stand up for the basic human rights of access to water it's about water. it's about the hurt and the redistribution. downwards.
11:19 pm

11:20 pm
i. dozens of palestinians have been killed by israeli fire while protesting along the gaza border tensions flared over the united states controversial n.b.c. moved to jerusalem late yesterday. coming up to the u.s. soldiers subjecting himself to waterboarding and putting on tape to refute high level claims of the interrogation technique is a form. of mixed reviews about i will tell you more. the shia cleric with strong anti american views this new in the takes the lead in iraq general election with most of the votes counted now.
11:21 pm
from moscow at one am this is art international with me kevin oh in the big story again this hour what's been happening in jerusalem expressed in the last a half day or so in the official opening ceremony of the new u.s. embassy there was marred by deadly violence as israeli gunfire killed dozens of palestinians protesting about the move on the gaza border the united nations in fact has condemned what's become the deadliest day in the conflict since twenty fourteen protests and clashes broke out in several locations because as health ministry putting it down a bit more they say fifty five people were killed according to their estimates including this at least eight youngsters more than two thousand seven hundred others are reportedly injured after today many of them wounded with live ammunition it seems donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital last
11:22 pm
11:23 pm
that night prayers are still shooting tear gas canisters on the protesters at trying to disperse all these all these protesters in the e.u. can see that at the gaza fire it is very concentrated we've look and feel it from a very very far away there are palestinian protesters that are injured and trapped inside where. the palestinian minister has been the ambulances can't reach them. so what happened right now is we heard a huge huge explosion and. that the israeli air strikes were playing out fight as rights of the on a place very near to the protests either trying to scare the palestinian protesters
11:24 pm
did it the goal. throughout the day there was a bunch of highs regarding violence in fact two hours ago during the the highest peak of violence where the protesters and the israeli military forces clashed almost head on israeli military forces using rubber coated steel bullets tear gas canisters stun grenades and other armaments you at their disposal against the palestinian protesters were mainly throwing stones and chanting against the israeli military forces this had increased as the day went on with things calming down but make no mistake this area was a battle zone before with many protests happening across the west bank from ramallah to nablus to bethlehem and even hebron and other protests have occurred in the region as well with different places such as love and on and even on man with some protesters going against the these decisions and rejecting these policies that
11:25 pm
are being presented by the americans. other developments following monday's events turkey's now recalled its ambassador to israel and the u.s. for consultations and earlier several countries repeated their concerns over the ramifications of the embassy's move describing it as violating international law and un resolutions meantime others chipped in condemning the use of force and violence warning of negative consequences for the region so who turned up to the grand opening today well the unpopularity of trump's decision to move the u.s. embassy was also on the line maybe by the no shows at the opening ceremony that was a ceremonial talk about these guys in a moment there were representatives from europe but mainly the east hungary romania czech republic and they would know when from the west of europe you might find that it is interesting and donald trump didn't choose to show up either again read into that what you will instead the washington delegation was headed by his daughter
11:26 pm
ivanka and her husband the white house advisor. jerusalem has long been fought over as has been so long documented by both israelis and palestinians and is a brief reminder of that. 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 for 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 had been a crusade of 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 their 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
11:27 pm
establishing the two state solution where israel and palestine exist independently so by president trump announcing moving the embassy to jerusalem he's on the line that the u.s. recognizes the holy city to be the capital of israel for the international community that goes against the notion that any change in the city status should come through negotiations a not a unilateral action as of now out of eighty seven countries that have embassies in israel the u.s. will be the only country to base its facility in jerusalem. i'm standing here in front of the american embassy where in the last few moments an angry crowd has gathered there protesting against him if you meet any israeli police are trying to keep the crowd. why you have. i'm here to oppose the surge and by the u.s. administration to relocate their embassy in the heart of the contents of the city in the heart of the city for thirty five to forty percent of its residents living under occupation that are not that is the that is their denied basic rights i mean
11:28 pm
the group at all that's left for the day after jews against the occupation we're here because we oppose transcending the we think it's playing with the lives of israelis and palestinians alike in our lives and it's the. this is not a game what's happening today is illegal and unacceptable and it's our duty to say no admittedly any israeli parliamentarian while what do you what do you think about the whole incident we are. in a demonstration which has been liason by those are the police but immediately after we arrived they attacked us attacked a member of the knesset just because we had it been to the best known for them and then they attacked us and pushed us to the back we are here to see that jerusalem east is ok i did it today it could be the capital of the state the palestine the tensions are definitely running high here as you can see this scuffles and clashes and we're being pushed forward and. a lot of anger out of.
11:29 pm
what happened let up in fact right out the heart of the firefight up to me don't doubt it but it sure didn't before we went i don't think. all of this coming as the embassy just across the road is opening so while the world is witnessing crum pictures of a historic occasion all of the jerusalem industry opening just across the road are these kind of scenes i'm feeling where there's a lot of anger and out of frustration and a lot of disappointment that the american government went ahead with this move now the americans have been putting a lot of pressure on countries to sign up and a cruise this move although there is a lot of resistance internationally to it we have seen the u.s. ambassador to the united nations making having resorting to duty tactics and writing a tweaking later to consider the vote i want you to know the president and the u.s.
11:30 pm
take this vote personally he will be watching this vote carefully and has requested our report back on those who voted against us thank you for your consideration and more more question. asked if the current violence that we witnessing here is a response to the embassy me well then just how exactly does the american president try to think that he is going to cut as he has said the deal of the century between israelis and palestinians what's the million dollar question now the palestinian envoy to the un says the security council will hold an emergency session about all this within the day and israeli military spokesman insists the i.d.f. is trying to minimalize minimize casualties but also stop the guards of border fence being bridged he blamed the mass which controls gaza for inciting violence encouraging people to attack the israeli border. our message to the hamas is clear we will not tolerate this violence we will continue to defend our sovereignty our civilians.
