tried to bully the countries into a voting for the us let's see russia ski r.t. was so we're going to probably know within the hour who that's going to be will tell you all about it when it happens probably take you there live as well this twenty twenty six world cup is going to be the biggest since the tournament began in one nine hundred thirty as well it's going to consist of forty eight teams that's sixteen more than the current format football consultant and former fee for communications director walter gregorio earlier told collin bray his expectations for the vote today that it's easier to try and host this massive tournament in place or does it make more sense to try and absolutely absolutely want to and this would be kind of the your only factor in are the need to go to morocco already when you have one single country but different states it is very complicated and you can imagine if you have three different legal systems in all. it's for sure more more complicated than if you have one single country but at the end of the money is

talking if you see that the forecast is a more than fourteen billion u.s. dollars for four for the united bid and i think seven billion still enough but it's half for the more. i think that there will be the main reason for a lot of for voters to go for united told from been trying to get the african nations on side morocco jumped out in front in that do you think has the upper hand in terms of trying to wrestle votes or at least support or you just mentioned trump you know for me trump was the best campaigner for moral core and. i don't want to quote. the africans it might be difficult for some countries to evolve. for the united bit purely because of geopolitical reasons and because of the trump and miss ration that will be for sure something negative for united bit. well we've

got a super team lined up few of our own r.t. host one of the best minds in the game shows a marine years were making his predictions last time you picked the countries to make it out of the group stages and of the quarterfinals now stay with us for his map of who he believes will make it through to the end. thank. you. for show in brazil the festive portrayal people will say that i'm doing emotional jol and i think. yeah might be the best of all forceful final i will first of all go for the school. and comes into the german. north i want. brazil germany is the revenge of the result.

so brazil will finish so. you know it does mean is not just. a come to. extra time penalties the level of play is that they take a penalty. that is the one small penalty and that the last penalty one takes let's see another one takes one. and that leaves to go to magic. was a very funny exercise. but. an all or nos probably didn't even go over the group phase and probably some of the teams that i didn't includes in the last sixteen probably there are going to be in the quarter finals and the semifinals and finals football isn't predictable and that's the main reason to be the beautiful game and hope you enjoy them for it to get totally different i don't understand why do you need another just i want to know well you can never

have too many merinos so for the world cup we found the perfect co-host for you so much expertise from just a movie deal don't miss it funnel to guys i'm not going to work with him it will take all the attention and i want another co-host. well it goes the territory doesn't it now for more of the manage the united manager's predictions check out r.t. dot com if you think you know better you can challenge him just ahead of facebook or twitter use the hash tag match marine yo a quick update on the teams now there's some good news and bad news for egypt this time my mohamed salah is returned to training at last he'd suffered a shoulder injury in the recent champions league final it's really unclear whether or not he'd be able to play in russia but liverpool striker is still however unlikely to feature in egypt opening game against uruguay friday over to team brazil's training session on your screen name he seems to be over his recent injury scares the brazilian superstars bouncing around armed with a is the squad chose no usual way is to now be birthdays one of the team mates.

never ends neymar was apparently the ringleader of that but. in the end himself. ah. ha. ha throat month long tournament will be in every host city given you a taste of the action starting today at five pm moscow time star goalie peter schmeichel in artie's neil harvey will start our live coverage from the very center of the russian capital. the trump kim summit in singapore was certainly rich when it comes to optics but what about the substance both leaders are clearly looking for a win in process has started there are plenty of obstacles ahead and no shortage of

people whose worst nightmare might come true peace coming to the korean peninsula. longer term growth. vesting in the future products and employees you're taking all that future revenues in your book here today just like the buying back all the stuff in his own store yes he bought back all of the stuff in his story and he has a lot of revenue but now my store is empty and he has nothing to sell so the next quarter he says my sales are zero because i have nothing in the store to sell i bought it all myself so similarly with apple back all their stock they want to vest in the future and when it comes time to report earnings in a year or two from now they'll have nothing to report.

the news today is the world's left analyzing choose day summit between the leaders of the north korea and the u.s. the american presidents explained what was key to bringing kim jong un to the negotiating table. without the rhetoric we wouldn't have been here i really believe you know we had sanctions and all of the things that you would do but i think without the rhetoric you know other administrations i don't want to get specific on that but there is a a policy of silence sometimes i felt foolish doing it. but we had no choice but summit in singapore was full of mutual reassurances but next is merge gansey of the poles north korea should look to the example of other countries who've placed trust in u.s. presidents in the past. what's not to like a new nuclear disarmament deal potentially one less country with nukes where all bets are off one of us and we have this truly historic moment on film

you can do to restore the nation. on earth. so why does kim jong jr seems to suspicious could be anything poison assassins or trump just waiting to backstab him the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal come to think of it america's nuclear deal to seem to last exactly as long as the incumbent president take the rainy and deal brok obama his partners worked on it for years so much work so much effort just for trump to tear it all up don't forget obama negotiated the arendelle one of the worst disasters the dumbest deals ever

negotiated except don't feel sorry for a bomber just yet george bush his predecessor also struck a nuclear disarmament deal with gadhafi the two. leaders discuss that this agreement should help to bring a painful chapter in the history between our two countries closer to closure it worked gadhafi gave up his nukes and what does a bomber do well he goes in bombs gadhafi is army alternately allowing the rebels to gruesomely murder him we came we saw that he died. it's almost like something out of game of thrones and we aren't even done bush in turn screwed over bill clinton started roll back north korea's potentially deadly nuclear program we'll continue to implement the agreement we have reached with that nation get smart it's tough clinton had worked for years to make

a deal with kim jong un's father to prevent then north korea from making a nuclear weapon and bush tore it up as seems to be tradition north korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction while starving its citizens states like these and their terrorist allies constitute an axis of evil trump is one for tradition in fact he has a habit of tearing up documents memos papers when he's done with them he had a bunch of guys at the white house whose job it was to piece back together the papers he shouldn't have torn up literally had to spend hours per day. piece together the puzzle taken and here we are generations of presidents generations of betrayal double crossing and deception and

it seems that hasn't been lost on kim. more of a senior correspondent reporting there with us the up so far this wednesday lunchtime from moscow and kevin know it if you've not got a ready nice time to remind you of a great app if you haven't downloaded it yet specially under this time now of course with the world cup well and truly upon us over the next four weeks keep in touch all the latest from us on that as it happens talking of which that vote about the twenty twenty six world cup like you to help me think maybe just around about one o'clock time forty minutes time but if it was before that we'll take you to it for now though for me a very good day. a

world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way was going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star in the us and the huge amount of pressure come after you have to go i mean eighty percent of the digital with you and you will solo all the great the great good you are the rock at the back nobody gets passed to you we need you to get down going left go. alone i was just telling you and i'm really happy to join the fall of two thousand and three in the world cup in russia meet the special one come on. me to just say

the reno theology team's latest edition to make up a bigger need to just say look. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamping each day. eighty five percent of the global wealth you longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent just last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollar ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember it was one business show you can afford to miss the one and only.

after visiting the ten host cities i'm finally here in moscow and this is why it begins and ends i'm in this new stadium it's completely rebuilt for the world cup and i'll do seven matches played in india so more than a million people will be watching football in here and that includes of course the opening match between russia and saudi arabia and the final play in moscow two venues. i'm at the second moscow venue. this is spot side moscow stadium and for each of

the five games that are being played here more than forty five thousand people will be watching on from the stands going to see leonardo messi when he takes into the here to play the minus that that beats and the pick surprised from the euros two years ago iceland i mean the cabots with an obviously a lot of stuff is going on here what exactly peter schmeichel and i'm going to take some of that stuff out. in the middle of a skull and you can just sense oh well it's just around the corner holding game a smile and asked so many people. in the streets and you can hear the accents not russian only. from everywhere in the world and sense says a place and that the world is fine in the beginning.

that's my still. i'm on top of one of the big butts stones of use and taxi we've got the red square there it's completely empty it's closed that's a big crunch like going on tonight and one of the stop the fullness there's a guy that i met simply just the pianist they just met so if he's invited me to it i'm not going but this is where i'm going to spend the whole world cup. that's a studio i'll show you one. this is a lot of people they just and. these have become loose so i'm going to be looking at that for most of the world and the view is simply stunning i have to say that.

who is reading this the first video. azziz. speak and he joins me live now. he said made it easier for fans to access the championship process has been taken over by the hype. is this way. the whole program that is going to do during the world cup but being a huge player you have all the camera feeds. this is my camera. so basically i'm going to be standing there with the with the red spray in the background. my country. then my place on the sixteenth then we play australia and then we end up playing. france here in moscow and if you are in moscow. a

really good stead if you really want to see football history we've got the football museum here that fisa has made especially for the world. i'm testing myself on the i don't know if i'm for this right. yes. so miles outside made. that c. original. trophy. it was stolen base it's you know with you know one and it's never been recalled with. since he's the only goalkeeper ever to win the bondo and then won the the world cup in one thousand nine hundred eighty six that's a long long time ago and when you have an association with a new feel how desperate they win the trophy. you've got friends spec and i'll bet against you and call if you don't cry fail as well so they played in the one nine hundred seventy four final and germany wanted

to one. so when we were at the joy in moscow and in december i met george coupled with a legendary mexico goalkeeper while they can special glasses should so the last time there was not the size of you'd expect the gold people to be actually quite small but he always wore these sort of close and they will couple in numbers too big for his. message ronaldo that both going to be their. new contenders for that is name. is really one. if you if you managed to get. in here. from here to about. is a space for the two thousand and eighteen world cup here in russia so who would win this big.

short term gains at the expense of a longer term growth saleyards the best thing in the future and products and employees here taking all of future revenues if you're booking it today just like the men is buying back all the stuff in his own store yes he bought back all of a stuff in his story and he has a lot of revenue but now my store is empty and he has nothing to sell so the next quarter he says my sales are zero because i have nothing in the store to sell i bought it all myself so similarly with apple fell by about all their stock they want about the future and when it comes time to report earnings in a year or two from now they'll have nothing to report.

and most people who might go to the kid seem completely stable boy to nine other. people who come to do to. ensure couple movies because of a mouse and into going to be a good show which to supplement. that's. just not so much but because of my son's it is a constant that he was you know a million years.

the world cup this is just around the corner so i've gone to syria to defeat to headquarters to meet the man in charge gianni infantrymen. it's his first world cup a feat for president and i'm really intrigued to hear what he has to say this is your first woke up as a fee for president you've been obviously been to european championships you've been to world cup before but now your fee for president so what are you looking forward to. buy don't think too much of them see the president

who are good but i am trying to think about the world cup us as i would think. i would have thought about it four years ago or eight years ago as a football fan assessor mother was special obviously being fully aware of the responsibility that the position of his or president is about but i'm i'm really looking forward because the world cup is the best competition in the world is where you have the biggest emotions is the competition where everyone in the world speaks about football and about the match of the night before whatever team plays whether it's. our eyes on the wild card for the first time or brazil or germany everyone in the streets in zurich or in john as work they speak about that and they live with it. and it will be it will be just fantastic it will be emotional it's also in a particular time i think where we need to feel some some unity in the world and

some unity around football i think is the best that that's a very very big issue because it is no secret a lot of tension between the world and the world cup host nation how are fifa how are you dealing with that i mean how exhaustive. coming in making this the best event in the world with all that's going on at the moment by focusing on football i think that's the key and that's the secret we have to focus on full but i think there are enough. sadly people around the world to try to just you know divide or argue or dispute or whatever we have to try to unite. football is uniting football is has this is magic and this power of bringing people together we don't want to make politics we don't want to take positions on whether and who is right or wrong we have to organize football and if thanks to football we

can send those on messages of unity and football is about bringing together about enjoying about about creating an atmosphere which will show to the world as well a country like russia with a hundred fifty million people who want to welcome the world in their in their country and i think football has this power to change those are the perception of people about the country and about maybe a particular period in time and i'm sure that this world cup. in russia this but they're going to moment of time will have quite a significant impact we've all unfortunately in in the years in france we saw some really ugly scenes. and it's a worry i mean looking at it from going into the tournament it's a worry that that there is this thing happening in russia with internal matches and

how a fever dealing with that or the thirty's dealing with that is again something that people shouldn't be afraid of that is certainly something that is that we're very seriously. everyone is aware but they go to the authorities in russia of the situation of the different. supporter groups who are. by a lindt and so the focus will be done. or will be will be put on on on the on rather gating you know making sure this doesn't happen and this can be done in an event which is you know happening in one man's very much focus and with a lot of preparation unfortunately idiots are living all over the world and violence around football is happening all over the world as well when you are over south america or. africa or whatever else this is something that we always have to

focus on generally it's not an easy one because violence is also a reflection of society. but for a big event like like the world cup the attention is very much this is safe to go to russia of course it is safe to to russia. for this and it will be very safe but it will be even safer the world russia during the world cup because the authorities in russia very much aware of what the world cup means and they want to feel as well and welcoming country and. the preparations in terms of security for the little club are beyond any other. events so the conditions will be there for a very safe world cup and obviously those who want to go and enjoy football and enjoy a part of the summer they should go to russia those who want to go to have riots or

whatever they better go somewhere else exactly go somewhere else how much how much is fifa new involved in setting you know the security and organizing that do you have a saying and how all that should be dealt with it's the police authorities and so on and in russia who are in charge of security obviously we are in contact with them we can share with them the experience that we have teeth. from previous events coronations contacts counsel if you look for example where russia is also part as well as all other european countries have specific task forces in terms of security because you know you can always learn and make things better so this is all taken very much into account and we think we have an active role in contributing to that is what you said before you don't see is of his

future president but you are you also a private person and a football fan so when when you plan your schedule for the world cup how. is it important you watch all the all the teams played some point yes and i am going to do that yes i'm i'm planning to to watch all the teams and to be in all the venues least once. then yes i can see this is that's doable but as the ability level how does how rather do that that day is sometimes too much as per day. but. i must do that i want to do that i want to see those i want to experience it it's it's a fantastic ok asian and it's also a question of respect for those who who are participating in all the future president has to be there it's very clear we we had a bit of a debate when we did the things i'm going in in moscow with joe and since then

you you have announced that it's going to be part of the world cup but it's also been written into the laws of football yes so why now. why you know because. we tested it. for two years. and because the results of the tests were cruise if and have managed to convince us that we should make this step this is what we have decided to years ago well let's test it for two years and in two years if it works if we are committed it works people in the laws of the game and everyone can and have a competition or has a kind of decide if he wants to use it or not. personally i was. very skeptical i have to say at the beginning i did not really

believe.
