a few dusty for that and i just want to say there are two things i think that you'll get the benefit from by changing into aussie during this chairmanship warm we're going to bring you the expert punditry inside people inside the game play is just pick the sale of jersey bring young people who will know the things that you could never possibly have experienced the other thing is atmosphere just listen carefully apart from the clinking of being classes you can hear i think if you visit a list and some. in the background it's a wonderful saying wherever you're watching us from in the world i just want to get deep breath and just so i thought up because that's what it's about it's it's a world cup and it's here and russia risen bracing it and i hope and i believe the families are bracing it and it's something to enjoy doing things for pizza i think so and it's so nice that it's finally here we've been talking in preparing myself i travel around to all the eleven host cities i've seen all the stadiums apart from

away with you know studio here with the with the view over the curb and the red square there where the big sort of opening not officially open but that's a big concert that today the russian president will be there and the future president will be there. i'm going to. accept or not i believe you do stuff you are going to go for it honestly tomorrow we have to face again and it's just exactly what we've waited for this is much about this isn't it as well as just watching the football it's embrace of the host country and the culture it is i mean and we hear a lot of of. talk or the running into any every woke up. now we hear it's all about football i and the river literally looking forward to that and we can see thousand of football fans have already dealt with him russia you saw them before you can hear them are they taking in the whole scene is before this opening game that we have tomorrow between russia and saudi arabia just have a look at this. if. you. never say look.

you know. a. lot. of plot it involves have a bottle but you know put both hands on a look at what is going on behind the night one to one odds one of classical music and oprah and the other people football have come together to become one an unusual makes from the first glimpse but that's only the first glimpse of course to push in

behind me placid domingo is a massive real madrid found for example and you know the people watching him they're the best proof that football and classical music go together very very well ice is not the only event that most school has told me to. football fans there's a light show going on on the walls of the bolshoi theater and in the other part of most away fans santa was opened it features a massive plasma screen so fans can gather together and cheer for their favorite team in this open venue and of course on a way here we could see a lot of a lot of groups basically moscow city center is bustling with the will of the with all the fans and the you know all the people who have come to moscow to watch this is the main the main football event of the planets i don't see too many spanish fans down there oh no but that's because the spanish french today might be a little bit upset passion return to chinaman because their countries football

association decided this morning to sack the coach and that is two days before that huge game against portugal and i got a role here because we've had to dismiss the manager of the national team they have provided no information to the royal spanish football federation we learnt it only five minutes before the press conference because it has to be a message to all employees of the rule spanish trouble federation that this is no way to act as a chairman of the president of the spanish football so if you've got really angry. they felt slighted yes the song is only played in a job then b.l.s. is only put in the job for one month and he simply turned up this morning with a cold because he felt that the conscious being disloyal but he hadn't informed the football association and also a month ago on may the seventh he got elected on the promise to make the football federation of spain stronger so he's played with his muscles today but i think he's

learned the. spanish team and that i think he had always been a coach for the rock up he's landed them in the payment given the multiple but you really want to have you know two days before you start the world cup i think if you're always being honest and if you haven't been so. next to his boss in the press conference he probably said i'm slightly sold myself when i heard this news but he was much more diplomatic than he is a big question he's been spain's director for all of that everyone respects and in spain has been a player at the highest level since one everything there is to see to win maybe a maybe a power cup but he's been you know he's someone that the players will they will listen to but he's a different voice he's not the voice that they've been preparing with and this is where the tricky part comes in so the coach he's been looking at everything the player. so. he knows exactly what he wants to do against portugal he's got his eleven names he knows he's prepared for that game and now someone else with

different eyes is going to look at that game and maybe pick one or two other players with might. upset the rhythm yet and whatever anybody says. this is not how they would want to enter the competition is coming here they are the second favorites to win this welcome after brazil of course and most experts most pundits across the world they have the necessary favorites they could still do it but it's going to be it's going to be to fit more difficult i have think the chances have been anything to do it this time the really good i think with a cherry on top i suspect a lot of people back spain probably feeling very uncomfortable now and also just a marine you know another big name hosts for this sort of a pick spain to advance from group b. and i wonder now would you make the same choice with the arrow in charge of a color scheme to be had for more bodies mapped out i hope you've seen this he's not up front that anything's going to go from the group stages into the last

sixteen and then on to the quarterfinals now he is giving us the protections of who will be the last two teams standing. portugal and brazil are the first of course you'll be able to say that i'm doing emotional jol and i think. yeah might be biased or forceful for the 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. and you know it does mean is not just.

like up to a country with. extra time penalties the level of play is that they take a penalty. that is a one more penalty and less penalty one takes to see another one takes one and they leave 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 didn't include 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. it will 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 moving you 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 and you can find more of the majesty managers predictions if you had a. dot com you won't. i think he was talking nonsense if you think so challenge and head to facebook or twitter use the hash tag much more you make your own predictions and print is not on the city just like it's a big holiday. a lot of people i see from home from a lot of different countries mexico per. year of why america remains fantastic for such as i was here two weeks ago and. they're not even ready for this but it is coming in a couple of days ago which really looks like the world cup is here and we've got the old thinking of going like this. so everyone i speak to that knows a russian team has sort of a little bit apprehensive about the politics where worse is russia. well we'll see

tomorrow because i think that it's the most important game for us because the games with. your wire will follow and that the demo that will decide the first game is very important we have a lot of. people who are saying our team is really really bad i don't think so i think it's about the board we have a lot of young guys we have some very old guys like russia which i mean all for sports you know is just good enough when you see very old how does that far into the years the i have and i have thirty six thirty seven was still hopeful for goal for a euro maybe like that big tournaments but still i think their training picturing the louden will show what they got from the whole cup favorites sweeping right across russia and people are already thinking about the future lots of countries want to be in this position now and fee for members of voting for the host of the twenty twenty six competition. chanst.

cannot. be the first time. this tournament has been paying the cost of three conference one hundred thirty four nations when they can find our foot through the vent column are all parts of. the north american bit off is almost a ready made wilco experience with stadia already built all around the construction of the twenty twenty six competition with the full team teams sixteen more than the current form competing and that's ok here in russia no one has been able to escape the excitement even though you use you often never kicked the ball before and i'm not talking about.

let's start back with some more world news italy has summoned the french ambassador

after president criticised at least the city to turn away a migrant rescue boat with the details this hour charlayne dubin ski. earlier this week a humanitarian vessel was denied the right to dock at a port on italy's island of sicily the rescue ship was carrying over six hundred migrants including many unaccompanied minors and pregnant women if they had been rescued off the coast of libya but in now currently on route to the port of lengthier after spanish authorities said that they could dock there well the french president has been scathing in his attack of italy in regards to this situation describing the country's actions as being cynical and irresponsible italy is fierce at that criticism by france and is demanding an apology. the french ambassador has been summoned by a foreign minister who on behalf of the italian people will ask for an explanation

for the insults directed not only against the government but also against the nation which is among the first in the world in terms of generosity solidarity and hospitality if the french have the humility to apologize the story will be closed and we will work in the interests of everyone. present is so took told a cabinet meeting that under maritime law it's dictated that in cases of distress those with the closest coastline have a responsibility to respond and in his view that was sicily but it has since emerged that leaders on the french island of corsica actually offered the vessel to dock there before they were criticized harshly by the central government in paris so some including italy suggesting that they some double standards when it comes to migrants and france they've also now asked france to take on nine thousand migrants from their own country. on the basis of the agreements

a migrant reallocation from two thousand and fifteen friends committed itself to work in one thousand eight hundred sixty migrants and instead in three years they took six hundred forty so i asked president mccrone to move from just words to action and to. morning welcome the one thousand migrants france promised to welcome as a sign of concrete generosity and not just words. while a meeting on friday between the french and italian leaders did look to be in jeopardy is this war of words has been escalating but we understand that it will possibly still go ahead meanwhile a meeting between the italian finance minister who's due to come to paris to meet the french finance minister it was initially cancelled but that is said now to be back on these are tense times though between these either neighbors and this is not a spot that is likely to blow over very easily. point journalist marcelo forward thinks the french president's remarks code damage relations with it. nobody here

can understand how president marc wrong can blame each. unknown money tell an attitude when they're first heavy gun ready closed and the nonpolitical attitude is france so basically what is up is that everybody's interests here in that the fact is that the president back around said that. really having a very negative and progressive attitude the soul instead of calming down the crisis is apparently. excited celebrating it and this is something really worrying because they show is very very high between my parents. donald trump claims there is no longer a nuclear threat from north korea after his historic summit with kim jong un the u.s. leader attributed the breakthrough to tough talking diplomacy. without the rhetoric

we wouldn't have been here i really believe you know we'd 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 they had a policy of satellites sometimes i felt foolish doing it. but we had no choice well despite the positive signals u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o has warned that military drills with side korea could resume if the north feels to meet its commitments to denuclearize the young young my temper reason to remain wary of its historic. murat's goes the of explains . 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.

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 brought obama his partner has 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 discussed 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 and bombs gadhafi is army alternately allowing the rebels to gruesomely mud 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 screwed over bill clinton stop and 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's 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 people he shouldn't have torn up we 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. the years so do you

coolish and hers launched a major ground offensive in the yemeni port of data it's the largest assault so far in a three year war against shia who see rebels which control the area despite global alarm over the offensive the saudi crown prince claims it will help the people of yemen. the coalition's operations to liberate data is part of the coalition's unwavering commitment to support the people of yemen against the tyranny imposed by iranian backed militias that are spreading chaos and destruction in yemen addressing the humanitarian situation in a sustainable and effective manner requires liberating yemen from the control of the rebels which intentionally disrupt the flow and distribution of humanitarian supplies while this video is believed to show saudi forces heading to ho data the port is a lifeline for people in the war torn country where food and medical supplies are scars yemen is already suffering what the u.n.

calls the worst humanitarian crisis in modern history a spokesman for the red cross told us the saudi offensive is likely to make matters much worse the assault reste to exacerbate an already cut us traffic humanitarian situation in yemen and indeed their concerns are twofold first of all the six hundred thousand people who live in her data and who must be spared so here we launch an appeal to all those fighting in this conflict reminding them of the obligation under international law to spec civilians to specify truck shows such as hospitals and water and electricity networks us with us to allow those who would like to free to do so safely but beyond these hoodie day is a lifeline for millions and millions of yemenis and later the mindset that yemen is a country of twenty nine million people and three out of each four yemenis need too many to an eight most of these eight come through the port of data so these aid not

be able to flow into these poor it would put that through literally millions of lives. some news just in the united nations has condemned israel's deadly crackdown on protests along the border a resolution was adopted. by the general assembly new york by some distance one hundred twenty faults in favor and just eight against the document accused israel of excessive use of force on call for an international effort to protect civilians in the area well that's one of the stories that show and tell us will be over in the next hour coming our stay with marty international programs though right and. the trump kim summit in singapore we certainly rich when it comes to the 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 short term gains at the expense of the longer term growth south some of 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 man is buying back all the stuff in his own store yes he bought back all of us stuff in his store and he has a lot of revenue but now a store is empty and he has nothing to sell so the next quarter he says my sales there's zero because i have nothing in the store to sell i bought it all myself so similarly with apple they'll buy 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 question is. which in the video with his rule. it's about one hundred fifty eight questions. school. and let slip.

that. i have this people would help us if the accept us i think we would. change a bit of. what we like and if they don't. it was for me. to destroy me. but you know this is. my big dream.
