world cup twenty eight. and. i. force. festive atmosphere. in the program the best minds in the game manchester united manager joe gives us his take. on the.

twenty four hour news live from moscow this is your arch international my name gene o'neill good to have your company the greatest event in global sport has finally become the twenty eighteen world cup in russia about half the entire planet is expected to choose into the tournament over the next month and team are primed and ready to bring you every moment that matters working from our world cup h.q. overlooking central moscow it's quite the view. yes hello again and why because russia had a magical start here more than a little way the saudis a lesion he came with a knife to talk about it he said peter schmeichel for mine you know i could kill people and also the money and i could manage it yeah it's a very you know i think it's safe to say isn't it to be worth it's a moment to shred or i like i will get on to that a minute but so these fans definitely were pleased with what i still live.

life. was. i. i. was ok so those fans obviously happy is the gold flea win today if i can tell you pace here and i think we can go through the night so you with your help the first as we know we scored early on wasn't between by u.t. because it's good. for so good for civilizing the boy is jumping of happiness because he's in d.c. he's in the east of the world cups these and these three of. the russia will come to us it is a fantastic feeling for for him to score the first school beautiful cross and the nice have about the second goal that chance and then ben is then this comes from

the bench and the immediate the some past the correction and and the great shots and what can we say about zero coming from the bench not the best relation with the man there's a he comes from the bench for studs ridge had a dominant in the box against unarmed powerful team and the grid well i think this is this is a plague of the bunch i mean he's come off the bench the you know he was all the way throughout the game trying to prove a point to the manager that he was opposed to the side line up and i think he will be. next game and then both of these goals here right right at the end of the game a minute between them in the ninety's minutes oh and that made it five nil and when i say is sure you know what was wrong with that find that was from no that's nothing wrong with that this is exactly what russia needed and it's going to do so much good for for the holiday and it's for the atmosphere around the russian team i mean i've been traveling around russian off six months and it's very little

positive i've heard about the team they have now won five of those and they've convinced people that they can actually play football and compete at this level they haven't played a competitive game for two years they went out there today and they did the job they had to do it was a case when i say it's because saudi arabia was not a great team and is not a great team and i would be surprised if egypt and europe i don't win at the same score so that's that's why it was so important today that russia did win by five goals she will just say you said earlier that it was a good performance fans should be optimistic but not see what. and i hope the russians are not like a portuguese because for us the distance between super optimistic and pessimistic is very short and i think that they didn't had reasons for be so pessimistic but now i'm a bit like like you to seize each because of course is a great result of course maybe one goal becomes crucial one knows for egypt ends

russia to finish with four points which is very possible to happen so everything was good snow no yellow cards the only negative point is danger zone where but there is thing went well but in reality so there is not a good team like because i believe they're going to. they're going to have a point. of good performance to date saying from the russian manager. he made a lot of good calls and substitute pressure. i've. never i've never been there but i can imagine that to manage your own country in the world. is a huge waiting in in your back and i think he had big decisions to make he made some he choose the team to play trees the players he made the right changes the changes worked perfectly for him so i think he leaves the stadium cold in ease

but i think he has enough experience to to come down and like you to say is. saudi arabia saudi arabia egypt is better than saudi and you know why is better than egypt so calm enjoy the moment relax and feel that that happiness and that right there definitely challenges for them and. i was not convinced that all the way that russia was defending. a team like saudi arabia should have zero chances against you and there was one big chance and then for sort of changes that could have ended up in the go and i think that's something that he really needs to work on in the days that aren't before the next king i've got plenty of positives to one of the injuries they cherish if dentistry cherish if i understand that you sport it is talent didn't you when you were at real madrid as a manager you can just tell us about how i just play in this is first match in real

madrid was last spotted myself it was in. in what we call the custody of the second real madrid team and in some in some cup match i brought into the first team my giving is is that woods was he was a good kid he was it was fast it was confident becomes like it was saying from a football player background just use that as a football player so it has that virus like is why he has like my boy has like in all the squads genetic the the love. question he was very careful to play for real i give him is there but then he went on and on longer and he come back then he played a couple of years then you want to feel real and i was i was living with the moment that his decision to play for russia or not to play for russia was in that period that he had to make that decision and i always talk to my players i do the same now in manchester it's for fun forget what people say let your heart choose you cannot

play for a country where you don't think connected by your heart from the lead you made that decision and obviously is that must be the happiest man today you will of course the world cup wouldn't be complete without a key to follow in ceremony he had won to robbie williams performed a string of hits including let me entertain you and then brazil legend renowned i was also there letting a child take the opening kick and pass the ball to the world cup mascot and here's what president that imitation had to say when he welcomed everybody take to the sarah. just think without exaggeration the billions of us devoted football fans and regardless of where we live and what traditions we follow football brings us together in one single team. but it had life to be a leader you can study. for us and i understand i like so you just come out and make sign of spoken to some of the russian players. yes indeed i have managed

to speak to two of the goal scorers unfortunately the sheriff was stuck in the press conference obviously a lot of questions to him after his scintillating performance two goals on the night i managed to speak to who actually if you think about it scored the quickest goal from a substitute in sixteen years so that was eighty eight seconds since he came on and then he went out to score so we asked him what did he say to the bench after he scored and he just thanked them because when he was on the bench they were cheering him on and saying that you will come on and score relax so he came on and scored we also managed to speak to the man who's who scored the first goal and if i think from now on we should call him gaza because that's what twitter has been calling him all the english twitter is not calling him goes i saw you guys in ski from f.c. cross the di i asked him. how did it feel to score the first goal of the domestic

world cup and he said well it was nothing really surprising because when f.c. cross the door opened their stadium the brand new beautiful stadium in that city he also scored the first goal there so he's used to this kind of thing but of course he was a little a little sly on that that is something he will carry with him to the rest of his days it seems like the russian players every single one of the walking through the make zone they themselves were blown away by the result they have managed to produce five nil nobody expected even it was a merino peter schmeichel nobody predicted this kind of scoreline and the boys obviously over delivered in that but there's also a pinch of salt. one of the players i think you did really good in the first half before his injury go if was walking away to make zone seemingly in a lot of pain and it seems like a hamstring into. three but generally ending is world cup but again the medical staff of the russian national team will tell us in the coming hours whether that injury would be very serious but other than that they seemed really happy and

everyone was very very cheerful because you donna was down at the fans on today so you believe need to get his time he found thousands of people have chosen this old . boy in the opening game of the world cup like a. bowling ball hardly anybody just for the money you want to find a. thirty one thirty one spectacular view of the. field the first full. local police. there say bush pretty good to be so low. on the ball oh so many people i mean everybody stories some are saying that they're just new to watching the game

to watch the game thirteen years on in the saying they're planning to explore russia planning to travel around the city of st paul not twenty feet and see nothing but whatever whatever the reason we. want. to look. for the tournament second match is a heavyweight clash between spain and portugal last taking place in sochi on friday because i mean i was ahead a clearly as you know and he made a prediction say about portugal against spain this is what he said. portugal and. in nor freshman at all because they know that both are going to qualify so i can imagine a fantastic match between the dupion champion. i received say probably the

best team at the time. to mention arctic boss also told just tell you that having christiane over now though doesn't guarantee success for portugal. they are. two very good teams spain probably a better team than us. more solutions better swards. but portugal is quite a solid team i think better than the team that one day you will see more talented young players in the team. so i think probably at the group phase one of the best matches that we can look i'm sure and it's going to say of course portugal have run out. here but when there's so much. and i think. one seeing is we're not in real madrid are not a single one although in the portuguese national team there are two different people with me. sets real madrid is

a better team we don't have more regional test on the cross we don't have. much so on quite a while to to attack and to produce as much as they do we don't have. a nine or a fake nine like when some are to play together with swede cristiana so i think. i'd be tough is because it is a different one what about all this this trouble that we call a power play or fic it is a little bit of paul play for the president to be honest how is out going to affect the players do you think i think it would speak to me to morrow. you'll see everything at the feet to morrow. everything we are speaking about him can create a difficult situation. so that part of the group phrase i think doesn't matter the result tomorrow they're going to do with us so they're going to have like a couple of weeks to. adjust the situation and to be ready for the call by six we

get all we do look at that it will be always a big company. ok those predictions there for tomorrow an awful lot going on tomorrow three matches to enjoy but i think we should just enjoy the moment pressure of one five million going for the world cup we'll see. yeah thanks andrew let's crack on no more world news i see a much we can fit in a double trump said crimea is rightfully part of russia according to online news i clicked buzz feed the comments reporter came during last week's g. seven summit in canada so your account broke down the story from your ear.

according to buzz feed trump told leaders at the g. seven summit that crimea is russian because everyone speaks russian there now we requested statements from the white house and the state department but we only heard back from the latter who said that they can't comment because it's directly related to the president and therefore the white house but on the second day of this summit truck made a few comments in regards to russia saying it used to be the g. eight before russia was kicked out and he also called for russia to be reinstated saying that they should be at the table so that they can solve the world's problems together naturally some leaders were opposed to this including mccrone and merkel but first some background crimea joined russia after a referendum was held were almost ninety seven percent of the population voted to join russia and international observers were present this for a referendum but it's pretty big that this is all coming from a u.s. president so we'll just have to see what happens. the u.n. security council has held an emergency closed door session on the saudi led

coalition's assault on the rebel held yemeni port city of data the operation has triggered the largest battle of the conflict and aid groups say millions of lives are now at risk in the beleaguered country the meeting was called by the u.k. which has faced harsh criticism for supplying arms to vienna as polly bucko now reports. well this closed door u.n. security council meeting was held at britain's request after the saudi led coalition there launched a full scale attack on the port of data the saudi led coalition wants to wrestle back control of the strategically important port but the problem is that yemen has been suffering as a result of the civil war for some three years now and the concern is that this new offensive is going to make the situation in yemen even worse although for many it's hard to imagine how it could get any worse the war there is already described as

the planet's worst humanitarian disaster and aid agencies have been sounding the alarm throughout this conflict but they are particularly alarmed by what's happening now how data happens to be the port where seventy percent of yemen spewed and supplies come through and the u.n. in the red cross have had to withdraw their staff from the port city and a full scale attack on her day to put even more yemenis at risk of starvation and it could force hundreds of thousands of people from their homes as well as aid organizations are warning so it was britain that called this meeting the foreign secretary boris johnson had tweeted earlier that yemen is the world's worst humanitarian crisis and that he brought together key international partners to stress the need for humanitarian access and a political solution but what boris johnson didn't mention in that tweet is that the u.k. is practically saudi arabia's best friend on the world stage especially when it comes to the arms trade the british government has licensed over four point six

billion pounds worth of weapons to saudi forces since the war started back in twenty fifteen and about sixteen thousand yemeni civilians have died since twenty fifteen when the saudi led coalition first started bombing iranian backed rebels there so campaign is in the u.k. say they. this isn't about a u.n. security council meeting what's needed is a change in policy from the u.k. government and there are questions over whether a security council meeting or a number of them can achieve anything while the u.k. continues its policy of arming the saudis and also the war in yemen is generally quite under-reported in the mainstream media quite a few people have commented on the timing of this latest offensive that it could be quite convenient because the world cup has just started and sadly the reality is that there is likely to be more coverage of the football than the unfolding

humanitarian disaster in yemen. the u.n. general assembly has voted to condemn israel's use of quote excessive in discriminant disproportionate force against palestinian protesters over the past two and a half months since the end of march i.d.f. troops have killed over one hundred twenty people in gaza the resolution was one with widespread support hundred twenty members barking at forty five abstained just eight states including the u.s. and israel voted against it the palestinian busters said he just wanted to see civilians protected while washington's claim the vote would play into the hands of hamas. the nature of this resolution clearly demonstrates that politics is driving the day it is totally one sided it makes not one mention of

hamas who routinely initiate violence in gaza the need to protect our people under this occupation. unquestionably and one should that be offending anyone. we're just asking for a simple thing we want a lot of civilian population to be protected and while israel maintains that its actions are necessary for defending its borders the use of line fire against antioch impatient protesters has on least a torrent of criticism from rights groups. the home. this is a

a vital mistaken if people knew the true story about israel it regarding hamas this vote would not have gone this way a lot of times these deaths of these palestinians are actually because they're using civilians as human shields and a lot of times in fact almost all the time the violence is actually initiated by hamas certainly not by israel the claim to trying to blame hamas is just a distraction it's a form of deception which they want to try to mislead the people from seeing what's pretty clear you've got unarmed protesters who are in gaza they're you know hundreds of yards from the so-called fence and they're being shot by snipers. with with live ammunition and this is what's going on there is a clear recognition that it's wrong and that there's no future in continuing this kind of old pressure. to europe now we're eight until you clear activists

have been arrested in belgium after breaking into a military base they claim the nuclear weapons stored there for the past sixty years are kept illegally in a symbolic gesture the activists acted on the theft of a warhead which they say they'll give to nato heads of state a summit in brussels next month. some sort of as a clinical go down to we here at the plain of bruegel airbase it's a belgian ad based with american forces who hits see the nuclear weapons secondarily twenty warheads held in the belgian sword illegally given the belgian who signed the nonproliferation treaty and so we're here with zoe a member of the eco party in the belgian parliament and a group of activists have come here to condemn the illegal placement of nuclear weapons. this is why i consider many of the activists say they want to remove all u.s. warheads from the country also believe the government should sign a un nuclear weapon ban treaty according to estimates there are currently twenty

u.s. warheads in belgium or one hundred fifty were sent to other countries by america including some non-nuclear countries one of the activists told us it was crucial to show the government that the weapons should be moved. into a group we decided to enter it is risking five years of imprisonment for each person to ask the government to remove those nuclear weapons from the belgian territory those you know we're going to be going to the united states it's not illegal to come out of the country so we really like them to be a way that is why people and eleven more that you gave to do so people so more though. nuclear weapons making the actions and altogether gave that message. well as things stand there has been no comment from belgian police on the military base breaking. lawyers for

a russian company that allegedly interfere in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election may be blocked from seeing some of the evidence being used by prosecutors that's if u.s. special counsel robert muller gets his way he's asked a federal judge to impose limits on what information can be shared. sais that the documents contain highly sensitive information on investigative methods and sources prosecutors also claim the data could be used by russian intelligence services to hinder further investigations the executive director of the ron paul peace institute told us he believes miller is trying to save a fabricated case moeller is scrambling to try to avoid giving evidence which may not exist the whole nature of the indictment itself was full of holes it made no sense and now that he's being told to put up or shut up he's panicking inciting national security and siding you know the hysteria that's

already been created it's an example of him being caught in a p.r. stunt not expecting anyone anyone on the russian side to answer the claims to answer the accusations and then when they have his bluff has been called and so he's taking out any effort he can to avoid facing the issue. prosecution team say they have uncovered evidence proving a number of other individuals and companies are continuing to interfere in u.s. politics done deal make albums again say it is absurd not to share the proof. the idea that you're accused of a crime and you're not allowed to see the evidence against you is ironically this is an absolutely extraordinary case robert mueller the special counsel he's now bulking in claiming well russia is still meddling so i cannot put this evidence out to not let the defense defend itself because it would aid the russians in their continued meddling in i don't know what in america certainly to me it doesn't sound

right it sounds like again they're trying to escape a trap of their own creation it just a reminder by the way as robert miller took over a federal government investigation into alleged collusion between donald trump's campaign and russia during the twenty sixteen u.s. election on three companies on thirteen russian nationals being charged. well that's how i thirst the evening's news roundup looks for and i will be back with more on the reaction to russia's emphatic five nil drubbing of saudi arabia on day one of the world cup in thirty minutes time the latest report all keep you company next.

time. she. was. with me. does she don't consume you've been talking to her the whole journey for dealing with firsthand on the person in that equal who don't is my son and what he calls his tells me. don't want this window we don't know him doing. that to those on.

the he. joined me every thursday on the all excitement and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport this list i'm sure i'll see you then. i am mary scars or this is the closer for well let's get into the show hey max i want to show you a hockey stick sort of chart you know it's a good time to do it during the stanley cup well one month treasury bill eels this is quite remarkable going back to two thousand and nine to june twenty eighth you

see that it has soared ninety one fold from its low in june twenty fifteen when it was point zero two percent now it's one point eight two percent a nine year high that's remarkable ninety one fold increase in. it's just it's on the one month treasury bill you know that shows that banks don't trust each other so banks are not lending to each other so credit is freezing that's what a credit freeze looks like we saw in two thousand and eight and then the global financial crisis in suit and a required twenty trillion dollars worth of fresh central bank printing of money to bail out the banks and then they use that money to increase their balance sheets and risk by a huge factor and now are at the stage where it's going to collapse all over again but in a much more spectacular way so that's what that's what that's telling us if it if that continues then yes we're on the verge of another low.
