so what's happening today the well we got three fixtures at three pm moscow time you could watch your acquired verses egypt featuring star football as mamet style and luis suarez then three hours later it's time for the underdog clash between morocco and iran will probably want to offend anyone by saying though that today's

headline there is spain against portugal that takes place at nine pm local time here we caught up with some fans in the southern city as such. that. that's actually. the. least in temperature and personality what we've done the exact opposite of focus on my guests please the secret. sounds people. i have been very good at because both teams have been through their final training sessions before the match is going to take place the fish stadium is built for the twenty fourteen winter olympics peter schmeichel went there ahead of the tournament to check it out. sophisticated and welcome to such and. such it was like the

soviets call this it was where the indeed came for the early days the politicians militaries and axes they all had that own designated sanatorium and this one for instance was for the teachers and the scientists i wonder if name could see in you and that teammates will appreciate the salt because this will be priscilla's home for the world cup. it's one of the really really cool things about such easy conviction to be on the beach working on your sun time in forty minutes later you can be up here snowboarding scheme whatever you fancy and the world cup is in june and even then you could do it so we were pretty well i think about two thousand five hundred metres even if you go and ski the still out of things to do ok i need for instance i'm going to go for.

one of the. tractions is of course the all to drop list been for full no one races here so far perez voters and hamilton twice have won it. in a minute i'm going to see if i can do exactly what these guys have been doing in the last four years. this is competition is the world cup debut for several spanish players one of them

is like gas purses one of the top scorers in the spanish league we spoke to him prior to the championship over the idea which is to be honest it helped me a lot i could spend time with my family and be with my change again it's a feeling well which helps a lot of form better on the field but it just helped greatly i could stay in this environment while having my family around and it is true that i haven't played a lot for the past two years but i've always known that football means everything to me all i needed was some time and complete trust in my coach the most important thing is to keep working day after day every week game after game even if it sounds obvious we have high hopes for the twenty eighteen feet for world cup in russia. also playing. for your. number one sport one of their fans told us just how important it is for them.

they identify. with the title challenge the way you. feel. you. shout it. out of the i love it. therefore. i. welcome. you if you are.

with. the former. i'm with. well they're venturing rushers of course only just starting as well as our coverage of the tournament we're going to try and catch up as well with the joes room later on to track down how they've been getting on and enjoying it plus cause more expert analysis and a lot more inside of all the games here on out. when

you also see that action the u.s. agrees on paris the us weekly's on the run and pause all of that if i'm can do a little from north korea i will think five times before i sign up something with trump because i don't know if the guy's going to keep his promise that in the first place. in a world of big part of the law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle

for the troops the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. that's a great way from football for a minute let me briefly on the rest of the top stories this morning this friday don't trump was apparently admitted that crime is rightfully part of russia that's according to online news outlet buzz feed those comments reportedly came during last week's g. seven summit in canada so american breaks down the story according to buzz feed at trump told leaders at the g. seven summit that crimea is russian because everyone speaks russian there 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 taked 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 at this 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 now meantime white house spokesperson sara sun has declined to expound any more on donald trump's remarks. got away or of any comment like that i know it's been reported but i'm not going to comment on a private conversation i wasn't part of that i don't have information on. the series of terror attacks in paris on the thirteenth of november twenty fifth is still fresh in the minds of so many people were you sold to the theatre in

particular has been a source of confusion and public debate since eighteen families now filed lawsuits against the government over how it responded that tragic night. you spoke to attorneys of the families with one of them making a surprise revelation to. one of the dorcas movements in more french history series of coordinated terror attacks across paris one hundred thirty people killed ninety of those at this popular music venue. while the terror was unfolding inside the battle plan outside what eight soldiers and tear up the trolls the parliamentary inquiry later revealed that they were told not to intervene moreover they were also the people giving their weapons so the police sticking rigidly to army protocol. now eighteen families of victims have

filed a lawsuit against the french state demanding answers. only led they. they were described in the media as the force specially created against the threat of terrorism so why was this force which had the chance to intervene was told not to or. if the soldiers had entered the battle plan a last night or if they had given their weapons over to the place how might that have changed what happened on the heretical night in paris to say luther what question you want answered is why it took two and a half hours for the order do not gauge to be given when the officers were there from the beginning. the army however insists the soldiers had taken all measures possible securing the area around the battle and protecting the fleeing victims the military intervened spontaneously they arrived where police were already present

the military secured areas around the battle plan in coordination with and at the request of the internal security forces but now one of the lawyers representing the victims' families has made a startling claim to r.t. saying that the allegations come from a member of the gendarmerie who wants to remain anonymous. on the minds of the birds a clan a tank there was a squadron of gendarme assigned to protect the house of then prime minister munroe valve's this squadron was alerted immediately and deployed to the site equipped with assault rifles they entered the batek land and extracted a hostage or a woman and they were able thanks to the hostage to get information about the situation the other hostages inside but then this twenty six man squadron received a very curious order they were told to stand down. and he claims there was also another unit ready and equipped with emergency medical supplies but they also

not deployed know if this equipment had been available to help v. host while the decision to intervene was being taken it's possible more people would have survived surely the question about this anti terror operations center now and its role is why have we spent so much money on them wasn't it just a political masquerade to make people believe that they are protected when we clearly see people were massacred with kalashnikovs just a few meters from this unit and that they had terrorists in this site but were told not to pull the trigger r.t. has asked the police to respond to these allegations so far no response has been forthcoming but these are questions that the families of some of the victims at the vatican want on the sistine they want to know what happened that night and what more could have been done to help help their loved ones. skate r.t.

paris. the winner of the iraqi parliamentary elections who's been supported by washington has announced that he's creating a coalition with pro raney and forces and this caleb maupin explains that's not quite the development the u.s. was hoping for that. tada al solder the iraqi cleric who's block won most of the seats in the recent parliamentary election has now announced he's willing to form a coalition government with an iranian backed militia so much for washington's hopes that he could be used to counter terror ron's influence he can't be irrational because bits of me are raining taking over what a let down for all those american media outlets and think tanks that held al assad or as a new hope for iraq and more importantly a potential ally against iran that's interesting because if you wind back the clock george w. bush said that he was an enemy of democracy for a long time his brigades were actually killing us troops let's not get stuck in the

past we are very well aware. of our all solder and his background and his positions now yes now it might have been a sign that the long time pro or reigning in cleric was changing his tune when he did some international traveling and met with the saudis but that was just smoke and mirrors at this point outsiders aligning himself with a cleric who is so pro reigning in that he actually fought for iran during the iraq iran war this is another fail in washington's effort to roll back to iran's influence. very very concerned about increased iranian influence in iraq president obama with through our forces there and it makes it much more difficult to calculate the growing iranian influence in iraq but we must also do what we can to limit the extent of or reigning in the influence in iraq now the first prime minister after the us invasion is bringing in al jaafari he ended up being very friendly to iran now as foreign minister he speaks very highly of relations good

relations between the wrong in the rock policy results for both countries and in practice they have proved to be in the interest of both countries the second prime minister now the vice president al malaki was supported by washington but he ended up being very friendly to iran too and after my. he went down the new guy also couldn't resist iran's friendly gestures al a body is also friendly to the islamic republic next door or one of the you will have the us has. invested in terms of life money. i mean kind of political and military effort was eventually the best interest of iran it was a stupid thing and they realize that the war against iraq has benefits primarily. iran now the usa is adamant that it wants iranian influence out of iraq however its efforts are proving to be rather futile now there is one iraqi

leader with a very good record of fighting the iranians his name was saddam hussein and he is long gone now it turns out that when you destroy a country you also create a vacuum and somebody is going to fill that vacuum even if it's somebody that you don't like caleb mop and r t new york going to get the russian teachers facing a backlash after posting swimsuit pictures of herself on social media when he said she was bringing a profession to disrepute but then how come a groundswell of support spreading to a defense. then

i some sort of i have been. through this friday morning a great day the great weekend of football world cup football action coming up don't forget all the latest news on the games behind the scenes stories not miss favre some amazing commentators including the radio pissed michael some e-mail us your

first choice for this world cup twenty eight here in moscow that is kevin owen wished me a very good day and thanks for watching. this and rather trendy over the past few years to talk about the new world order fair enough the recent g seven combat in canada and triumphs decision to engage north korea for just two weeks samples pax americana is undergoing a significant transformation. and is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos and bill fiddlesticks miss it to be like a movie this is my compass he is going up the sunny i'll maybe.

john. the only palestinians who gets the most hope from his jerusalem counterparts i don't think some of those who are on the vision the only group to this. i don't know if you can. share or not well donald trump resigned on the korean peninsula finally meeting with kim jong il the u.s.

is headed into a talent battle with europe and china. can a global economy cope with a trade war well today we'll talk about that with york care former president of the e.u. chamber of commerce in china. the u.s. into a global trade conflict with new tariffs on european and chinese goods sparking measures of response threatening the stability of world commerce what is the three way tie of clinch going to bring to the world economy can the standoff escalate into an all out trade war what can the consequences of that be for all involved. your good care former president of the chamber of commerce in china welcome to our show it's great to have you with us today thank you thank you art so first let's start with north korea donald trump and came john goodman have been shaking hands at a historic meeting in singapore and u.s. president has said that it's possible to lift sanctions on north korea while the

north korean leader has expressed a strong will to leave all the past behind how realistic is this really happening is still a north korean issue about to be finally solved. well as we're sitting here in china in beijing there's a chinese proverb that says every journey of a thousand kilometers starts with a for a step and i guess that for a start was taken in singapore discussion and meeting always better than confrontation but boy they devil is in the detail there's going to be a long way to go and we have to see how these particular impatient us president is going to sustain with the momentum and we have to see how his promises are going to be implemented so it's going to be a long march she china be wary of this rapprochement between washington and on young. but china was always playing a very constructive role frankly speaking all the way to the point that actually they don't age it's the prime minister's plane to get him to a little singapore this still wanted to be in the game this lead hope that there

will be tensions less than they have already east the sanctions china benefits from this is this progress and the north korean issue is show that u.s. sanctions and trumps pressure worked. oh that's difficult to say i guess that all saw. it he was trying to commit to something where we actually don't know if it's open ended and scott if it needs a success again we're all in the region very happy that this kind of fury and. that he was talking about is gone. because keep in mind that we talk about nuclear weapons here so i don't know kim has paid to send very coolly we have to see how that all ends again for a step a thousand kilometers to go said tram slapping tariffs on steel and al-ameen amand here as far from happy or incentive and the neck low has called the u.s. harris illegal and their recent g.

seven summit said that six countries in a group without the united states represent a real force is here were afraid to back out and go it alone without the united states or are here past just bluffing to get an upper hand in the trade talks. well for us at least europeans it's all the new thing that's the the crux of the economists coming to the end of the old mechanism where we all sort of have a common understanding on free trade has reached a point where it's actually quite disappointing to see that the u.s. is launching steel tariffs on security grounds against its allies well first of all i guess it unites europe the kind of beating in canada will bring japan canada and european union much much closer together as you have seen troubles pretty much isolated and we have to see how the issue of steel and aluminum will be dealt with because europe will take us to the w t o and i guess in view of the fact

that fifty percent of the overcapacity globally comes out of china in steel and aluminum by the way also hurting real solid and russian industries how that has to be dealt with so trump decided to a safeguard one hundred forty thousand jobs and challenge a couple of millions in the car industry i'm not sure this was an economics one hoof either so do you think trump will even care if he's isolated by his european friends. well it seems like he takes credit takes strength out of this given his constituency that he's working around his former allies but i guess that you know he's ruling with the system this the congress there's other bodies of the government and there are still lots of connections on the working level trying to see how we can actually sort of called on a lower level but with trump a lot of porcelain house been damaged it's going to be really difficult cording to

the dutch bank the experts of steel and al-ameen into the united states make up to just zero point three percent of worldwide goods exports from the e.u. now the youth is imposing retaliatory charis from july on your spot of whisky fishing boats it is a pretty serious to me right now but the united states will probably take retaliatory stabs and this tit for tat actions could end up really bad i mean trump may eventually slap tariffs on the car industry which would be excessively for germany for instance so you can hear him control this mass and would it be cheaper for the europeans to just swallow the american measures and this before it escalates. well i guess the first step for sanctions of course is not very heavy and not very strong unless you like bird and you like to drive a holiday with the mortal cycle then of course it's your full fledge but at the same time you know german industry is a heavy investor in the united states and south carolina for example and actually

the german common defector is all the biggest exporters from the u.s. into china so i guess there will be a lot of rhetoric and a lot of noise coming out of the white house too many german cars on the road i guess the trump eventually is going to do something different this is all very much rhetoric i would reach into this the investment climate the americans have a strong interest to remain attractive to the europeans after all more than one hundred billion dollars is investor from europe into the united states so let's see i think this is just the first round trump want to blood on the floor this is what he got but i think the second round is going to look to from suppressor as is opening a case against the united states with the w t o o now back in two thousand and three they're going to say sion that designated us still terrorists imposed by the bush administration as illegal how likely is it that the devil each heel will reach

the same decision this time around i mean. if that rules against washington will trump by the ruling. well w. childe luckily is still functioning despite the fact that the us has been reluctant to nominate people for the panel which is vital for the survival of the w t o dr enough judges that will be able to do cases on the panel but beside this some you lose some you win and in this case i guess europe has a pretty strong hand in order to go against european and canadian steel exports in the united into the united states on security grounds i cannot imagine that it holds water but again this case is take a long time one two even three years. and we have to see it so immediate impact is european steel will be more expensive than the us and europe will basically have to pay more in order to have a decent tennessee whisky so will this house situation bring the e.u.

and china closer together i mean e.u. foreign policy is our fake i'm not getting any has already said that ties between the bloc in china are more important than even before isha hinting that e.u. may turn to greener economic past at passers in the east if trump keeps this up. you know so if that's very hard to say because of course the u.s. is our ally buxom like on a house spin safeguarding zero economic picture around the world and then you deal with a climate agreement in paris and the next thing you see this is blown apart you have an agreement in iran next thing you see is this blown apart and china has been a solid support in paris as well as in the iran deal and now both of us europe as well as china a strong believe us the multilateral actions w.h.o. and so forth so in a funny way s. it looks like we have far more in common than with china than the united states but

don't forget underlining the economic system of europe and america is very much alike so let's see it is sometimes honestly sophie it feels like we're a bit of a nightmare so here it stands to gain a lot in syria from china's one belt one wrote megaproject can the promise profits from the land trade offset the u.s. trade partnership. no by no measure i mean the. one bold one wrote initiative from president xi when you look at the. eurasian the you want call it from moscow the kind of going from here via the stock into europe this is very minor we talk about seventy million people as customers in between that's a lot of infrastructure the maritime silk road is far more interesting because china has developed customs customers and ports and other infrastructure there but nothing can.
