seen in brazil where they were defeated in the final by current and well champions germany well it taking on a one of the most experienced teams world cup first time as iceland they're also the smallest nation ever to qualify for the tournament however iceland's warriors won't be alone right behind them is an army of fans that have certainly made a name for themselves around the world i will respond. to sceptic reasons i was younger i practice i even had a triad with a younger national team when i was a goalkeeper. and good enough but my love for football kept on going any just became the passion of my life where you know we always go into every tournament every game and you know hoping and believing that we can win i mean we've shown it in the past that we can beat any team on a good day. whole

year i've been thinking about nothing but russia very unfamiliar territory for me i just expect too you know i just want to see some of the cultures the culture the buildings we're taking my sister which isn't really a big football fan but with the hands of the icelandic spirits that is what it's all about it's not about what's in football is about coming together for the team for the nation showing or blue color so that's that's what trifles. i still and fans are hard to beat when it does come to that of dedication but i'll continue no supporters seem to keep coming up in the run up to the country's first match of the world cup they have moscow streets dancing singing and of course chanting massey's name. to get caught up with one of us.

learn a lot of russia in their school so i want to see it by myself just to avoid that people says about russia so i came here. for they said go and i found the m a z i may say no libyans out of. here which i'm beautiful people are really really nice even if they don't speak english or spanish or that people try to help you. at home . respect to reno of course we're home so i think to. work up it's going to be really hard i think i have a really good team share money too so it's going to be really tough for the guys but i hope they can do it this time. i found a few only actually a med. couple and they they have

a baby so we took up the job with the baby really nice picture with us and i'm i'm i'm in the picture of that without an indian flag around here with samson about there i saw him flag so it was a really nice picture it's beautiful it's not so friends on the picture not so much of a friends tomorrow on the pitch stage add that that's for sure with anticipation building to head off the match star jones i mean you made his predictions. i would say an incredible talent against a very very happy team. plays at these shows happiness and they and they love to compete and we dealt any kind of pressure they're not going to give an easy and it's just time to argentina but argentina means the talent. going to win.

so as are the big games draw closer we'll be joining our special studio in the heart of moscow if you can do stay tune for our special the world cup coverage throughout the day. russia may be hosting the world's biggest football event but in the run up to the tournament focused in the mainstream media seem to be less on sports and more on politics polly boyko takes a closer look. the world cup and russia has finally kicked off and in case you missed it some idiots still think all this is out football. hundreds of years ago a pig gave up its blood and people started kicking it around and in the blink of an eye no song was born men were being paid to find a million dollars a month to do it and coca-cola was sponsoring it every point is at the world cup

the national pride is on the line and where there is a money and a captive audience you'll also find politicians politicizing this out of it but i'm a brief and been accused of using the tournament as a showcase and after spending a fortune billion dollars on it it's a fair bet that he's looking for some decent p.r. tell you it's a good job there stadiums are impressive because their russian team is. england has some of the most no practiced world cup traditions of all i had in the tournament the media spends a lot of its time criticizing the host nation using a range of beautiful and then the korea that england fans travel to the host nation and destroy a renovated city center or two. but in truth twenty two june said this time around the british government called for an international boycott of the tournament

in a show of defiance over the russian spy and his daughter who was not killed in some very. high snow on the cool actually it was just ice that their leaders over france and germany say they probably will go to see their team play but that could be because one of their teams is likely to win the in the u.s. probably would have joined the boycott yes he's really the only guy. who learned in america will be home staying in twenty twenty six and others get to join in even if that crap. un security. really is allies in. the sizing. is already hard as for the players. happily family.

one person who was initially unhappy about coming to russia for the world cup was the u.k.'s foreign secretary of the boris johnson seems to have a bit of a change of heart month after suggesting a total boycott and even comparing the world cup to that of the lympics. i think it will be very difficult to see how we can head to the to the world cup this july this summer i think it will be very difficult to imagine that u.k. representation at that event could go in the normal way we would certainly have to consider it so i think the comparison with the sixty's is certainly right. distancing himself from the controversial remarks and now says that england never planned on boycotting the event in an article for a produce newspaper britain's chief diplomat also insisted that the u.k. and russia are not at all praising the quote friendship of both countries i joined i started going to believe the world cup should never have been politicized in the

first place. and i thought it was a funny article boris johnson seems to. be a hypocrite always got memory troubles he clearly was thinking about withdrawing the chain is absolute nonsense that is what is coming out with at the moment i think it's a ridiculous came i wish they'd just drop it can we please for this month anyway get on and enjoy the football would appear that were should put in on a good event the fans are enjoying themselves no problems boris johnson should keep his nose out and you watch if england and is a big if if england dogs in a foreign oh you boris johnson treason or a prince harry or prince william would attend the final this is all gesture politics the czar's international plenty more to come in this program we return in just a moment. collateral

and they lend against property and what happens prices are artificially pumped up and jacked up and some people can't afford housing to the way to fix the housing problem in the u.k. is it take away this fractional reserve banking as property so that prices would come down to the level that is traditionally affordable by the average person in britain. i can imagine. i don't know i wasn't there but i can imagine a russia defending its national interests in a way that doesn't help the hawks in the united states but couldn't has this image of such a hard guy. and i would blame him for not caring about american public opinion even more because it seems like no matter what he does there's an unfair response number less what i'm saying is it's gotten very personal.

twenty past the hour here in moscow the us department of justice has released a highly anticipated report on the f.b.i.'s activities during the twenty sixteen election in focuses on former f.b.i. director james comey and his handling of the clinton e-mail investigation and it also reveals details of sentiment at the bureau james not ever going to become president great right no no he won't we'll stop it i've often thought of the report also shed some light on the relationship between the bureau and the media. takes a close one. we now have the long awaited report from the inspector general michael

horowitz on the u.s. justice department now the report shows a pretty clear record of collusion between mainstream media and the f.b.i. we identified instances where f.b.i. employees improperly receive benefits from report says including tickets to sporting events sings drinks and meals and admittance to nonpublic social events we will separate you reports from those investigations as the concluded now the report shows pretty extensive contact between the f.b.i. and reporters and furthermore it shows that agents were incentivized to provide inside information we have profound concerns about the volume and extent of unal through his media contacts by f.b.i. personnel do we have uncovered during our. seven reporters in direct contact with the f.b.i. over one hundred phone calls and you've got officials as high up as the assistant director taking time to hobnob with reporters if you read this report you would think that at this point leaking classified information is just not

a big deal to the highest law enforcement agency in the land but the f.b.i. had no problem busting james wolf for doing it himself james wall former congressional aide was a rested for allegedly giving information to his girlfriend who was working at the new york times while he was a congressional aide now miss watkins says that the new york times never received any leaks from james wolf and wolf is now facing charges of lying to federal officials. mr wolfson let's conduct is a betrayal of the extraordinary public trust that had been placed on him but what about when f.b.i. agents themselves are the ones providing a steady trickle of information to the press they say it's not a big deal it's just simply a matter of a few bad apples. the report makes clear that we have got some work to do but let's also be clear in the scope of this report it's focused on a specific set of events back in twenty six feet and a small number of f.b.i. employees connected to those events so what now well i guess another

investigation and the possibility of punitive measures it would be shocking to me if the f.b.i. did not act on the inspector general's report and fire some of those officials who are singled out so many not just mistakes from top to bottom but corruption and if there aren't firings the public and its cynicism towards government and towards business as usual in washington well knee deep in once again we see confirmation of the kind of collusion this really is collusion between the f.b.i. and the mainstream journalistic class journalists simply act as megaphones for different government agencies that j. edgar hoover the founder and longtime director of the f.b.i. very famously said that there is something addictive about a secret mainstream media in the united states would like you to believe it's completely independent and objective furthermore federal agents are supposed to be

untouchable and not susceptible to any friendly favors but perhaps they just can't resist. r.t. new york. the u.s. government has resumed funding for syrian rescue group known as the white helmets the state department says it's releasing six point six million dollars in aid for quote the continuation of vital lifesaving operations three months ago the trump administration had decided to freeze funding for the organization as part of a broader program of cuts stepan also claims that the white helmets have saved more than one hundred thousand people in syria last despite a series of controversies surrounding the group members are being caught on camera carrying the iso flag and attending execution by. terrorists and some of the alleged rescue videos have timed out to be fake the white helmets only operate in militant held areas of syria often in very close proximity to terrorist groups and independent journalist of n s a billy told us that most of the claims about their

rescue work have not been verified. i struggle to find any evidence. for the hundred thousand life saved and i would very much like to see with the millions that this group are being given by a number of nato member states some form of documentation some form of archiving some form of evidence for these a hundred thousand lives there is mounting evidence against this group the majority of it comes from syrian civilians in the areas that i have and that's a nice aleppo nice group so i have not found one civilian to tell me that the white homeless rescued civilians in fact i've heard the opposite i've heard it at the white home it's where they're to work as agents for the terrorist groups and to help. when they're under attack by the syrian arab army and their allies.

with it where we're like a tick that is so dug in you know your cognitive dissonance gets to decide then again maybe the tickets are good. this tapeworms got me losing weight. anyway what does the good news of our two hundredth episode have to do with the bad news that we're filling our oceans with plastic absolutely nothing but i figured you would be the chaser after hearing we're all going to suffocate on a pile of plastic bags coralie straw isn't camp on applicators are either but i think i can taste a little bit of plastic right now i think. since the nineteen fifties humans have created eighteen point two trillion pounds of plastic that's equivalent to eight hundred and twenty two thousand eiffel towers worth of plastic but no one ever gets engaged in front of those lost it's unclear how long it will take for that plastic

to completely biodegrade into its constituent molecules estimates range from four hundred fifty years to never answer your old dildo maybe floating the seven seas bird eternity no longer just and right now a real pirate. wearing it over with one. and you have stuck on the end of a nor walled tosk three. but that our wall actually has it easy because ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year and a global summit in nairobi lie. december the head of the united nations environment program spoke of an ocean armageddon ocean armageddon it's that bad and that's also the title of the upcoming reboot of water world this. time around

kevin costner's arise for two weeks by eating his own earwax pretty pretty exciting but yes considering the fact that when the oceans die we die and that much of the play and much of the plastic has been broken down into nano plastics too small for even the i do see some people are calling the plastic disaster as bad as climate change but that's a geographic says ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change there are no ocean trash deniers at least so far true but in a way are we all ocean trash deniers i mean how much ocean like me ocean trash to best have you seen recently you know interrupting your family beach vacations believing you would pull noodles are going but how do you know there is one of feels like you're beyond all ask. and or plastic problem is growing

exponentially in one hundred fifty we produce two point three million tons of plastic in twenty fifteen it was four hundred forty eight minutes to toss all of that for forty eight one hundred sixty one million tons was for packaging material that is used for less than six months single serving yogurt single serving lunchables single use plastic bags single use for sparklers you know you used to be you could get several months out of a couple of those suckers really a bit you could get a good run nipple razzle dazzle for a good long time but now everyone just tosses them out right over their shoulders so that it gets stuck in some dolphins blow a hole or something and and who's going to clean those balls out how who's going to volunteer for that blow job what. in the night see fit. us media was celebrating celebrating the new found freedom of plastics in one thousand fifty five life magazine ad the headline for zero way living items in the photo it said

would take forty hours to clean the text noted except that no housewife need bother . yeah but what they did mentioned in mention in their throwaway living article was that by using that much plastic we as a species would throw one living it. would be no more. we would be a single serving species but don't worry as the oceans are getting choked with plastics wildlife is dying off and our cities are filling with pollution pretty much everyone now understands we have the libs to stain a bully and stop buying and leslie no one except a psychopath would recommend we do otherwise right.

oh my triglycerides and certain times of chimpanzees bother bending over her with the rob. just grab your phone and bye bye bye bye bye and then one of our underpaid servant people will have more pacifiers and sipek of their liver to you within the next thirty sac and yet i don't mind the words please tell me they're watching hastily scribbled on the guy's t. shirt just yesterday exchanging awkward thanks for taking the microwave sized box that holds a plastic i don't the size of a tennis ball. is. truly half the plastic ever manufactured has been made in the past fifteen years last year the coca-cola company acknowledged for the first time just how many plastic

bottles makes one hundred twenty eight billion a year but here's some good news kenya joined a growing list of nations that have banned plastic bags france said it would ban plastic bags and cups by two thousand and twenty but on plastic micro beads in cosmetics take effect this year in the u.s. canada and the u.k. and for other countries yes even theresa may the terror dactyl lady who says. who sits atop england's golden throne of zombies skulls even even she has a plan to rid the country of all plastic waste in twenty five years which fun fact is the same amount of time it takes one for mukasey blood worms to gestate many many believe. many believe we need an international agreement to stop filling the oceans with plastic oh wait we already have a strong hundred ninety three nations including the u.s.

actually passed the united nations clean seas agreement it's really just a declaration of a good intention it's like the rio de janeiro treaty in which the world pledged to combat dangerous climate change back and nineteen ninety two meaning this international agreements are really doing us wonders. anyway here are five things that you yes you can do to help give up number one give up plastic bags really it. truly is a plastic shopping bags are used worldwide every year and all hundred billion in the u.s. alone the average dame in contrast goes through four single use bags per year the average american goes through for plastic bags just disposing of his bloody gloves after murdering the grocery store clerk who gave him paper bags. well what

do you want to pick up the flintstones here give me your goddamn life exact. number true and no more straw us americans. americans tossed five hundred million plastic straws per year wait no every day that's every guy. number three use a refillable water bother. we're now at a million plastic bottles per minute ninety one percent of which are not recycled number four of void plastic packaging plates and cups number five recycle and don't litter and i feel i feel that one should be followed by. recycling don't litter. but what this list from national geographic can't and won't say and basically every media outlet will never talk about is that to truly

save ourselves we have to move away from unfettered capitalism a system that. says to the world choir's that requires and promotes endless buying input and consumption don't stop buying more waste more buy more weissbourd over don't reuse don't recycle don't don't do without used to be that a tube of toothpaste would would last a roughly sixteen years or so now. to travel to the place you know last year like three nights and you thought that you used to use them single use soap right next to grab your umbrello which will hold together for about two rainstorms there's nothing more allergic to your brain of than a modern day umbrella. like acid so that they're made out of cotton candy. then you get to work you grab a single use coffee a single use coffee lid your plastic straw you know you have.
