day three of the russia world cup laps up with four action packed games to talk us through the goals and the early signs for the tournament are peter schmeichel and just a marine. corps from iceland d c so were babies or do you think looked to me to breakfast immediately it's it's a big day for this part of the family. you know i have a son playing in the world cup and the pick of the days matches in iceland bring their thunderclap to moscow and secure a shock draw against heavyweights argentina. and while the world enjoys a celebration of football a british newspaper publishes then removes a series of pictures apparently showing the darker side of life in the host nation

the photographer claims the paper misrepresented his work to create a false narrative. a warm welcome to the program from all of us here at r.t. h.q. in moscow thanks for tuning in this hour. day three of the future world cup has come to an end and it was the busiest of the tournament so far with four matches the last of them saw an experience croatia side power to a two zero victory over nigeria the youngest team in the competition the corporations took the lead in the thirty second minute through an own goal that lead was doubled eighteen minutes from time with real madrid start. look i'm

a church hitting that from the penalty spot when puts croatia at the top of. saturday's earlier games feature two of the tournaments favorites and also country playing its first ever world cup match or not the artist team in the heart of moscow with analysis from just a marine you know and peter schmeichel. in the. law the the. i don't think it's a fair result i see across through the play at best to play the good game they

couldn't play better than what they did with the potential they have always like to praise the team that plays in their limits and i'll start the play in the means frank says players to play better than what they did and i think they were a little bit a little bit lucky of course the penalties a penalty of course the second goal is a goal but we dog. dog dog goal line technology the result would be different but i'm really happy that technology helped to give the truth of the game. i. thought it was good we had every right to be as surely concerned i am everyone said we will come. he i guess franson to not being that way but what would we do if we

did something. spicy varosha. messy it's always trying to die it was clear but it just wasn't going from us it just wasn't his days you know. of course when you miss a penalty. in the world in a moment where you're your step the ball of course. that affects you. and after that after that moment he was trying but probably even in superman even in super players. they are humans and they have feelings and i think the penalty yes affected him you know it was you know we have to look ahead i think we deserved three points but we have to keep calm and stay focused i think a lot of what we did was good but in any case we just have to try to win the

croatian match i did my homework i looked at a lot of penalties for messi and i also looked at how i have been behaving in the last couple of penalties or tried to get into their minds and. imagine what they would be thinking about me so so all i had a good feeling that he would go. this way today if i could choose a word to describe their work compact no mental man against massa no mental man against anyone of of detecting players from argentina just being compact they reduced everything in terms of space they were compact in terms of with when they had to go closing the side of the ball they were compact in terms of. no space behind the last defender i think these boys from iceland since they were babies they were eating a lot of meat on breakfast immediately all of them very very strong very very few.

and the football they play is perfectly adapted to the way the the the way they are true i'm sure they are delighted but let's look at some highlights go. here this is a good finish because that one just like that was after twenty minutes past the pick of the finishing is absolutely fantastic the problem for argentina was to create chances but. everybody knows the pub war is absolutely fantastic and with a back to the gold turns the gravity center very very low very powerful right and left the same so the shot is fantastic now at that point i'm sure i wasn't alone in thinking i k they're going to get a few more now argentina but that didn't happen and iceland got one back very quickly we can see that goal now to. a close range but nonetheless takes in stride yeah as i was saying it starts inside of the box on the right side as a manager i also create this doubt in my in my defense of don't trust the referee

decision because sometimes the criteria is in your favor sometimes against you ok so protect yourself with your arms but when you protect yourself with your arms you lose a little bit of balance you are not able to react and to press me that this will mark of the ball come and then the second ball but the striker you know is a good is a good finishing very confident. i . i.

i. i. i. i i i. it's it's a big day for this michel family and you know for it to have a son playing in the world cup that that is that something and this is probably the wrong word i don't know action spanish is that's a better word thanks for that michel i want my vet called and i'd like to study that long run very were it was really a nerve wrecking the last period of the game for for me as a fan. and at the same time i have to say it wasn't a classic game it's not one of those you you want to watch again i think peru they

haven't found the feet. they were trying to huffing and puffing but nothing really came to the had a few chances but i think clearly at the end of the first time off and they have that penalty called i weiss you know preaching seating didn't it because this is the incidence of the penalty itself and so so their effort he went to. the video system the referee and he decided it was a pansy. but i don't know what what what he's was doing here i mean the lack of concentration the sort of the stop on the step up and it was. eventually he misses penalty and i have to say i'm still a little bit in doubt trying to be neutral to an objective i'm at a bit in doubt if it really was the pendency but then the day he misapplied and so that's no debate overall receiving are you satisfied with the marks performance i mean marks out of ten what would you give them in terms of the form and. in terms

of i would put in a ten in terms of performance. for you that i think if i were actually in this team to do so much more that what really works well today was if i could be defended really well. and there's still plenty of football to look forward to on sunday coaster a good kick off against serbia and some are a germany meet mexico in the capital and brazil versus what's the one rounds out the base fixtures and rostov on don mexico held their final pre-game training session earlier at moscow's luzhniki stadium they have a tough challenge ahead meeting the reigning champions germany and here is one stat

that they'll want to improve on in the past six world cups mexico have made it out of the group stages but lost every round of sixteen game world cup co-host just a marine you know also gave us his predictions for the upcoming germany mexico clash. germany and mexico germany the know how to win. then why did we and i think they're going to stick is that through the same principles mexico is a very interesting team very creative very funny way to play and to enjoy the ball but that's think once more the power of just. now russia may be hosting the world's biggest football event but in the run up to the tournament much of the global media's focus was on politics rather than sport taking

a sideways look at that now here's polly boyo. the world cup in russia has finally kicked off and in case you missed it some idiots still think all this is about football. hundreds of years ago a pig gave up its blood people started kicking it around and in the blink of an eye no soca was born men were being paid to find a million dollars a month to do it and coca-cola was sponsoring it every four years at the world cup the national pride is on the line where there is a money and a captive audience you'll also find politicians politicizing this out of it but i'm a british and it's been accused of using the tournament as a showcase and after spending a fortune the 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 know practiced well traditions of all ahead of the tournament the media spends a lot of its time criticizing the host nation using a range of beautiful and then the perugia then the england fans travel to the host nation and destroy a renovated city center the or two. but in truth twenty two men 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 celebrate . the cool actually it was just ice that their leaders old 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 war the u.s. probably would have joined the boycott yet 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. so it's a little time for you to meet some un security council level next to his allies in order to win the bid as far as politicizing so that one is pretty hard to see as for the players in the fines they've happily traveled to russia to see believing that they're just going to work some sixty not such. a rush of the world cup as a chance to show its best face to the world but parts of the british media are working hard to dig up negative stories about the country wherever they can find them the sun newspaper published this article titled russia in the raw hopelessness desperation and crushing poverty here's one of the accompanying images showing two women relaxing on their work break there are also pictures of homeless people and alcoholics the images were taken by a russian photographer and a volunteer who often travels around the country here's some of his other work from

the same instagram page which the sun chose not to use as you can see the photos capture a wide variety of scenes showing everyday life in russia we spoke with the photographer he says the newspaper cherry picked his images to fit their own storyline which had very little to do with the truth and also that they misled him about their intentions. a few days ago i received a letter from the sun newspaper over a story about my photos and my work from time to time i get offers like this from local and international outlets i didn't know at the time what this particular outlet was so i thought it was interesting so i wrote list discuss this they originally offered to write about my work i work with multiple humanitarian organizations in many of them as a volunteer and about a third of my instagram consists of pictures taken during my work with different institutions after that those who contacted me disappeared and in a couple of days people started sending me links to a story where

a weird selection of social storylines had been mixed with a dumb commentary on the world cup i got angry wrote to them demanding that the story was deleted they later sent me a letter where they requested permission to use the photos i didn't give any but that did not stop them first they offered to fix it and they offered money but only when i threatened a lawsuit did they delete it but as far as i understand those hours of useless conversations where they tried to offer me some two hundred fifty pounds were aimed at using traffic they got in that time i worked with multiple charities i filmed different socially important stories and i don't think they're a subject of speculation by anyone. our channel has requested a comment from the sun on the matter will bring you the response when we hear it. coming up in the program a top official has been fired in germany over his handling of refugee claims bar and that after a short break. my

. kids in computing go. tonight. we can. downsize are going to. get. me home. which i didn't get showed up to movies because of i'm listening to going to be a good show first and certainly last. is not so much of a. welcome

back the head of germany's migration and refugee agency has been fired amid a scandal were over a thousand migrants entered the country illegally german prosecutors opened a probe into the bremen branch of the agency after allegations of corruption and misconduct and internal review found the agency broke the law taking payments to approve some twelve hundred applications the violations are thought to have spanned more than three years the scandal has filled an ongoing dispute within germany's governing coalition on how to handle the migrant influx one of the governing parties the c.s.u. is threatening to leave the coalition and in response chancellor angela merkel is promising to tighten the rules for refugees.

just changing the had of the office doesn't solve the problem the problem is of a structural nature it's just the sheer number of asylum applications which overwhelm those structures and therefore it's not the right decision now hosty who fought chester the exchange you talk caught again could a new person in charge because the basic problem remains the same hosty holds for us and his party they had accepted also the disrespect for the migration law center constitution which was promoted by angela merkel in twenty fifteen and which has been carried on until now so it's quite late now but

she also tries to find that they are responsible or the culpable person at the top of the organization each should have broken up the coalition already twenty s. t. to protest against angela merkel creating german laws and letting migrants flow into our country instead of helping them before already in the syrian regions or the neighboring regions of syria. crowds have rallied in athens against and naming agreement for the country now known as the republic of northern methadone area. of thought that thousands of people gathered in the greek capital calling for the deal between the two. countries to be canceled the new name northern mustonen it has caused

widespread anger in greece as it sounds too similar to the greek province of macedonia it was decided upon as a compromise with athens which has for years refused to recognize the name of republic of macedonia. president donald trump has claimed that a new report from the justice department shows the f.b.i. plotted against him before the two thousand and sixteen election it focuses on former f.b.i. director james comey killed mufon has the details 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 reports is including tickets to sporting events now things drinks and meals and admissions to nonpublic social events we will separate you reports and 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 on all three media contacts by f.b.i. press no the we have uncovered during our review seven reporters in direct contact with the f.b.i. over one hundred phone calls 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 hoofs alleged 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 the specific set of events back in two thousand and sixteen and the small number of f.b.i. employees connected with 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 will only deepen 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. saturday march the fifty fifth anniversary of volunteer interscope of becoming the first woman in space she was just twenty six on her historic voyage

a crater on the moon has been named in her honor and there's a small planet called cheika siegel and russian her code name. her historic flight in the rostock six spacecraft lasted almost three days it or. did earth forty eight times terri schiavo remains the only woman ever to have been on a solo space mission a second craft with fellow. because of ski excuse me it was nearby with the mission also checking differences in the flights impact on male and female bodies the two were in constant contact with tesco but even seeing a song for her colleague. i was so good. my heart flinched only when i spoke to my mother

i was flying over to volker river my hometown river where i grew up and at this moment i was talking to my mother that's when my voice started to tremble you need to tell her confident words given that she became a widow with three children at twenty six we were not allowed to see where we were heading with sign a non-disclosure agreement telling you that i'd been approved for the national team in parachuting when she found out about my flight she just said you tricked me and i replied mother please forgive me but the flight was far from easy and almost ended in tragedy her spacecraft suffered a technical glitch and communication was lost for several hours at the time she believed she wouldn't make it home to earth but the problem was fixed by a team led by yuri gagarin the first man in space and she still dreams of flying but this time to mars john glenn flew for seventy seven years once i was told not to raise this issue because we'd lost guarin but i just wish to fly one more time

and then i'll come down. that's a wrap up of today's top stories for now but i'll be back again at the top of the hour with another global update and don't forget you can always had to our website are two dot com for the details on all of those stories and more. i think. russia took a real blow to its sense of self during our yeltsin years i remember even six years ago when i first came here people can. apologizing to me for how terrible everything was that this wasn't like america and for people to be ashamed of their country was so different and now i don't really see that i see people are more proud of their country and i think putin has used stalin in particularly the

great patriotic war in the victory there as a way to inspire nationalistic pride in. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for him to let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only really going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful it's very critical. to sit down and talk. q do you. plan to. put in workforce that are not. able to do all the cost goes into due course look for the old rules on

board over. the last little while or. just you. know with us for that enough to consider what's the benefit and it also calls isolates. this community you to get the jolt a more modest new commodity at the north the shuttle no communication with that to deny that i did joke and look at each of you could not. only. are you. using it was important you did.
