day three of the russia world cup wraps 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. boys from iceland since they were babies or were you to look to meet them on the breakfast meeting it's it's a big day for the struggle for you. know i have a son playing in the world and the pick of the days matches iceland brings their thunderclap to moscow and secures a shock draw against heavyweights argentina. and while the world enjoys a celebration of football a british newspaper publishes then removed 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. this is art international coming to you live from the russian capital with me jacqueline vogel 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 tournaments 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 corrections took the lead in the thirty second minute through an own goal that lead was doubled eighteen minutes from time with real madrid star. hitting that from the

penalty spot the wind puts croatia at the top of group d. saturday's earlier games featured two of the tournaments favorites and also a country playing its first ever world cup match or not to our team in the heart of moscow with analysis from just a marine you and peter schmeichel. it was. at . the first. i don't think it's a fair result i think after the play at their best to play the good game they

couldn't play better than what they did with the potential they have i'll always like to praise the team that plays in their limits and i was trying to play in delhi means france has 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 without. dogs they are without goal line technology the result will be different but i'm really happy that technology helped to give the truth of the game. ah the father because. i. thought it was going on every right to be a trial and so nice and everyone said we will come here against france and to not

be that we don't want when we do if we did something. spicy varosha. messi. it's always trying today it was clear that it just wasn't going from us and it just wasn't his days you know. of course when you miss a penalty. in the world cup in a moment where your your team needs that the ball of course that the facts you. and after that after that moment he was trying but probably even in superman even in the super players. they are humans and they have feelings and i think the penalty yes affected them you know you know it's 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 from 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 soul i had a good feeling that it would go. this way today. if i could choose a word to describe their work compact no man to man against massa no man to man

against any one 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 that. no space behind the last defender i think this was from iceland the since they were babies they were eating a lot of meat on breakfast immediately all of them very very strong very very fit and the football they play is perfectly adapted to the way the key to the way they are sure i'm sure they are delighted let's look at some highlights how came. the quero here this is a good finish because that one just like that was after twenty minutes past the pick of the world the finishing is absolutely fantastic the problem for argentina was to create chances but. everybody knows the part where all is absolutely fantastic and with the back to go all the way 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 down now to. a close range but nonetheless takes in stride 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 and 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 film articles that the ball come and then cover a little the second ball but the striker you know is that good is a good finishing very confident.

oh oh oh oh. i think. i became i i. think. it's it's a big day for this michel family and you know for to have a son playing in the world cup i thought is that something this is probably the wrong word i don't think should stand yes yes that's

a better word thanks for that michel i want my vet called and i'd like to study that long run very 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 i feel. they were trying to huffing and puffing but nothing really came to the had a few chances but i think literally at the end of the first time and i have that penalty called i y.c. don't be cheating c.t. didn't it because this is the instance that the tennessee itself ends so so there are three went through to wagner the video system the referee and he decided it was a pansy. but i don't know what what he's was doing here i mean the lack of

concentration the sort of the stop on the step up but it was. eventually he missed a penalty and i have to say i'm still a little bit in doubt trying to be neutral to an objective i'm at the. in doubt if you read it was expensive but then the day he missed a penalty so that's no debate over older saving you satisfied with denmark's performance i mean marks out of ten what would you give them in terms of performance yeah in terms of output and gain ten in terms of performance powerfully then i think if i look at i think this team could do so much more that what really works well today was the defense so they defended really well.

and there's still plenty to look forward to on sunday coast orica kick off against serbia and some are of germany meet mexico in the capital and brazil versus what still in rounds out the day's fixtures in 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 all 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 marino also gave us his predictions for the upcoming germany mexico clash. jelling new mexico germany the no. then why do we unless i'm going to

stick to the same principles mexico is a very interesting team very creative very funny way to play and win just the best think once more the power of germany. and russia may be hosting the world's biggest football band 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. 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 it people started kicking it around and in the blink of an eye no sawgrass was born men were being paid five 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 and where there is a money and a captive audience you'll also find politicians politicizing this out of it but to me britain's 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. so there was a good job there stadiums are impressive because their russian team is. england has some of them no practice well the traditions of all ahead of the tournament the media spends a lot of its time criticizing the host nation using a range of people and then the perugia there and the england fans travel to the host nation and destroy a renovated city center or two. but in truth twenty two to them 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 daughters who were not killed in slavery . iceland said the cool i'm feeling it was just i said their leader is 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 u.s. probably would have joined the boycott yes he's the only guy. who learned in america will be home staying in twenty twenty six and others get to join in even if their craft. so the general time needed to meet some u.n. security council level threats to his allies in order to win the bid as far as politicizing. 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 want some sixty not so.

for russia the world cup is 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 role 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 hear 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 story line 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 then 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 work with multiple charities i feel different socially important stories i don't think they're a subject of speculation by anyone. our channel has requested a comment from the sun on the matter or bring you the response when we hear. a top official has been fired in germany over his handling of refugee claims more on that after a short break. i think. russia took a real blow to its sense of self during the yeltsin years i remember even six years ago when i first came here people kept apologizing to me for help terrible everything was it just 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 his use stalin in particular the great patriotic war and the victory there as a way to inspire nationalistic pride. welcome back to the program the head of germany's migration and refugee agency has been fired amid a scandal where over eight thousand migrants entered the country illegally german prosecutors opened a probe into the broken branch of the agency after allegations of corruption and misconduct an internal review from 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 fueled 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 of the problem itself structural in 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 call it again and put a new person in charge because the basic problem remains the same see holds for us and his party they had accepted also the disrespect for the migration law center constitution which was promoted by a glimmer clint twenty fifteen and which has been carried on until now so it's quite late now but see who tries to find the responsible or the culpable person at the top of the organization each should have broken up the coalition already twenty years to you to protest against angle of pranking german laws and letting migrants flow into our country instead of helping them before already in the syrian regions or the neighboring regions all syria.

crowd have rallied in athens against the naming agreement for the country now known as the republic of northern macedonia. and thing. thousands of people gathered in the greek capital calling for the deal between the two countries to be cancelled the new name northern macedonia has caused widespread anger in greece as it sounds too similar to the greek province of macedonia it was decided upon as a compromise without fence which has for years refused to recognize the name of republic of macedonia. president don't 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 up and 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 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 on all three media contacts by f.b.i. press no two we have uncovered during our review seven reporters in direct contact with the f.b.i. over one hundred phone calls you 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 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 it's 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 marks the fifty fifth anniversary of volunteer. becoming the first woman in space she was just twenty six on her historic watch 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 bus took six spacecraft lasted almost three days it orbited earth forty eight times to discover remains the only woman ever to have been on a solo space mission

a second craft with. valeri of the school was nearby with the mission also checking differences in the flight's impact on the male and female bodies the two were in constant contact with tara school but even sing a song for her colleague. was. i was born soon so. 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 who were not allowed to see where we were heading would 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 eureka garren 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 from don't forget you can always head to our website artie dot com for the details on all those stories and more.

there. are a. lot of welcome to worlds apart extra this is an addition to our regular show and research focused on the people behind the story is if asked to name the most oppressive soviet the russian leader joseph stalin is likely to be among the first to come up with the great terror of the nine hundred thirty still haunts this country with millions executed by son to the gulags what is much less known is that

there are only a year before the purges began stalin sought to well for the lack of a better war democratize the soviet society and the society pushed back against that these paradoxes of soviet power came to life thanks to the work of an american academic from maryland who were found here in northeast russia almost nine thousand kilometers away from the old lines they. are really very little. homily. their girl with all the ability to monitor. samantha long is an assistant professor at the state university has been teaching here on an almost six years in the morning she's trying to expand her students' english vocabulary by discussing beauty and fashion

in the afternoon she scours the local archives in search of documents which shuts the light on the much savvier subjects the early years of the soviet state. i. wouldn't be surprised to find a graduate from the state university teaching at the university of pittsburgh but i think the opposite is still quite exotic how did you hear well i started writing my dissertation on the one nine hundred thirty six constitution and when i looked in the archives in moscow there was just an overwhelming amount of material so i needed to focus on the region and one of the regions i found a lot of material from lescure of funding was a little bit difficult to come by it's not necessarily the most sexy topic uses no the topic but i think it's a very counter-intuitive topic on many levels how did the idea pop into your well that is different actually how i came to it i'm like constitution.
