honestly around morocco he doesn't think the be much resistance when they come up against the likes of spain and portugal spain portugal playing at the moment to get in so here we go again if you didn't know which side was which you think i was a crack and cracking winner when you force me though when the wrong way around winning that one one back on a saturday day three of the world cup that has four matches on the line up we will say argentina take on ice and the smallest nation to reach the tournament his. thought that might happen and that one. of them. would see an incredible talent against a very very happy team i think he's had a few plays shows help in this and they love to compete so we don't any kind of pressure they're not going to give an easy and this is going to argentina but argentina means the talent so i think they're going to win.

they just pull up. living by the way that they. did definitely in the little ones not all of them all that's really the. first son. to. look again. but only three minutes little. that is thousand to three. fluid that is likely to get out of. this this

comes a million dollars and enough to make to feed the world ok. so in russia there is a very big tradition on circus performances and at that indoor that's one of the best circuses in the whole country and what they also have is this school for young hopeful performances and this is where i am i'm trying to pick up one it's true live it's a. second performance a little bit like football players a professional athlete to train and it paid well i have to say the little girls here it's every day for hours and then they grow into young ladies like these two eighteen years of age. it's taking that into in five to fifteen is to get to that level. now it's my turn to go and

ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick.

welcome back to the program the us has resumed funding for the country of personal syrian aid group the white house it's the trumpet ministration how this cited to freeze funding for the rescue organization back in march as part of a broader program of cuts of the state department ses now that it's releasing six point six million dollars in aid which will be split between the group and an independent un agency investigating war crimes in syria the department also claims the white helmet sub saved over one hundred thousand lives in syria including victims of the state's alleged chemical attacks but the spied having washington support the syrian first responder. of quite the b.s. reputation in the past its members have partly been caught on camera flying an al qaida flight they've also been seen at the site of executions by islamist militants

the rescuers also staged an operation called the mana can challenge the white house that's only operates in rebel held areas of syria often in close proximity to terrorist groups. live with me now on the program happy to say as an antiwar activist and coeditor of b s news mike riley mike welcome mike what's changed here why is money being made available once again for the white helmets. well i think the pentagon planners. probably finally realized just how important the white helmets are to the regime change operation remember this is all part of the muslim brotherhood inspired and facilitated the arab spring but if you see what the effect of the the white helmets was just a couple months ago we had the missile attack from france the u.s. and the u.k.

all based on lies from the white helmets from their videos the film footage and the fake shouting of chemical weapons attack. they are the ones providing the. the o.p.c. w. fact finding team with all the evidence so there was an alleged chemical weapons attack last year o.p.c. w didn't even visit the site they just trusted what is effectively a belligerent party in this conflict the white helmet who have been obviously calling for regime change calling for a no fly zone which is obviously means you know full invasion and they've been trusted with collecting evidence but what we know from eyewitness testimony collected by vanessa bailey on our last trip in just over these days i was the civilians in duma and she said the white helmets operatives themselves carried out a chemical weapons attack so yeah i'm not surprised that the funding is resumed to

be honest well given what you just be explaining there and the degree of controversy surrounding them in many quarters why are the white helmets treated so favorably by many parts of the west even won an oscar. well it's true but it's it's all part of the propaganda and there's jump ilja calls the white helmets it's a propaganda construct it's a little bit more than that it's natural concept that they wish and hope and will certainly use again and have used already in other parts of the world and as i said the fact that they've been so successful in providing fake imagery and fake evidence and carrying out chemical weapons attacks themselves and then a posting responsibility to the assad forces just means that they can be relied upon whenever there's a need a pretext this needed for another missile attack or even a more full scale invasion the my helmet so the go to go is because they are there

that they are there right next to working alongside al qaeda and affiliated groups . and so they're the people the o.p.c. w. rely on and that is so worrying because o.p.c. w.-a not no longer seem to be doing their own investigation which is what they've been renowned for and instead they're relying on a third party a belligerent third party to actually do part of the investigation themselves so i mean the one helmets this is why the media they're such favorites with the media that's why they won the oscar it's why they were nominated for a nobel prize the actual concept itself of the white helmets has to be protected at all costs i think the fact that treason maybe as we just saw this week there was afraid of information request answered and it looks like the british government the british taxpayer has funded the elements to the tune of almost forty million obviously we've got another six point six billion coming from the us but there's other countries involved in finance in this group as well the netherlands france

and germany so all of those tax payers from those countries ok only breach of their own their own anti terror legislation by funding the elements who are effectively al-qaeda let me give their side of the story too to this mike to because. the group itself claims that it is impartial let me put it to you what supporters have said when we have challenge them on the program they say it's the case is that there are certain individuals who are associating with terrorists and it's not the institution itself that's your opinion well if they were impartial then they would be pulling the civilians out of wreckage when terrorists have fired their help cannons into civilian areas and civilian buildings but they're never seen they're never seen in government held areas they are only seen in terrorist occupied areas where terrorists have got civilians held as captives and at us human shields and

what we see is when when there is light in the case of duma the terrorists left in the green buses and they went north with little helmets followed the one helmets went with them so the white helmets are inseparable from the terrorists and what we've heard and what we've seen is they are carrying out terrorist activities themselves the figure is being talked about they're quite extraordinary when you look into it because there's another two hundred million dollars in aid that was frozen do you think it will not be released to syria. yes no no doubt that i will end up in the hands of al qaeda and probably isis again i mean this is supposed to be a volunteer force much of the even the equipment that they're alleged to have used has been either donated or stolen from the real serious civil defense which is an established organization going back to the one nine hundred sixty s. registered with the international body that looks after civil defense units across the world. though that real civil defense has become a target of the white helmets their operatives have been killed by what helmets and

their equipment has been stolen so it begs the question what do they need this money for i think we know the answer and the answer is it's going via the white helmets straight towards the terrorist factions like. the probably even on to isis themselves my granny antiwar activists and coeditor of b s news mike thanks for your thoughts this hour. president trump has said he might meet with vladimir putin in the next few months it comes out to the u.s. president cause controversy by reportedly telling world leaders that crimea is rightfully russian taking up the story saying a recount. trump hasn't ruled out the possibility of meeting with president putin he made these comments speaking to the press friday morning check out what he had to say anything where he was this summer it's possible that well made yeah you know i thought you know this all started because somebody one of us should be in the g

seven is you know should be in the g eight so yes as you've just heard trump wants the g. seven to be the g. eight once again with russia reinstated so that they can work together to solve the world's problems this wasn't the first time he made these comments and he also suggested this during the g. seven summit itself and naturally some leaders were opposed to this including merkel and mccrone to name a few with regard to the crimea debacle trump blamed obama saying that his policies led to crimea joining russia now earlier it was reported that trump also said that crimea is russian because everyone speaks russian there but this is yet to be confirmed to remind the viewers let's quickly go through what happened in crimea crimea joined russia in twenty fourteen after nearly ninety seven percent of the population voted to join russia with international observers present so if these remarks by trump are anything to go by this will mark a huge huge shift in u.s.

russia relations. the series of terror attacks in paris in november twenty fifth nor still fresh in the minds of people there the assaults on the buffet clone theater in particular has been a source of confusion and public debate a group of survivors and victims' families have filed a lawsuit against the government over its response to the atrocity showing two pinsky has been speaking to their lawyers. one of the darkest moments in multi french history a series of coordinated terror attacks across paris one hundred thirty people killed ninety of those at this popular music venue. was shot while the to her it was unfolding inside the particle and outside what eight soldiers from and see terrible trolls the parliamentary inquiry later revealed that they were told not to

intervene moreover they were also the people from giving their weapons to 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 told not to. if the soldiers had entered the battle a lot night or if they had given their weapons over to the police how might that have changed what happened on the heretical night in paris as their lives have one question or one answered is why it took two and a half hours for the order to engage 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 better clown and protecting the fleet of victims the military intervene spontaneously they arrived where police were already present in the military secured areas around the battered clamming 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 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 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. it seems hurt 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 know 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 answers to they want to know what happened that night and what more could have been done to help help their loved ones to the ski r.t. r s thirty five minutes past nine o'clock here in moscow after the break we'll bring you the latest on the side he led offensive on the yemeni port city of hold data and what it could mean for millions in the country. kids.

does she don't consume don't jell you've been talking to her the whole jay dealing with the saying i'm on the bus i'm in that are equal who don't just listen to what equals this tells me. because i don't believe then suddenly i'm doing movies that do those all moving in a society is this is a downside to us at all to the sitting on. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic developments only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to

sit down and talk. hello again the united nations has held an emergency session on the side of the little offensive on the rebel held yemeni port city of old data the operation is the largest in the three year long war in yemen aid groups see it will worsen the

country's humanitarian crisis and could in danger of millions of lives but be insists the goal is to dislodge the rebel fighters from who data and bring it back to legitimate rule only boy who has more on the u.n. meeting well this closed door u.n. security council meeting was held at britain's request after the saudi led coalition 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 planets 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 students supplies come through and the u.n. and 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. 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 who's the rebels there so campaign is in the u.k. say 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 saudi's human rights campaigner some walton told us the u.k.'s relations with saudi arabia are extremely worrying given what is happening in yemen what we've seen in yemen has been called in the u.n. a deliberate tactic of starvation by the saudi arabian led coalition. seventy percent of the food imports the aid imports coming into yemen coming through this poor.
