germany have won the world cup an impressive four times though there is a great deal of expectation riding on the on the men in this world cup the nation has played more world cup matches in fact than any other country mexico however who are eager to avenge last year's defeat to germany at the confederations cup or also told them an old timers el train have taken part in sixteen world cups not having missed a championship in more than two decades but they've never actually managed to lift that spectacular trophy the two teams will meet at moscow's luzhniki stadium the showpiece venue of the tournament.

it seems like even the animals in most of those who are getting world cup fever with the residents media kept making its prediction but when the mexico germany clash and it's being called she's picking reigning in germany well our world cup co-host josie marino has also been pondering the outcome of that particular game. germany and mexico germany the know how to win. in the why they win and i think

they're going to stick exactly 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 german. saturday saw some of football's heavy lift as hating the pitch to france struggled to victory against australia after a controversial penalty decision while i slip in funds were delighted as their team held argentina to drool denmark took advantage of some of some sloppy finishing by pollute to win their very first game meanwhile croatia defeated nigeria one has them much analysis from aussies josie marino and peter schmeichel.

i don't think it's a fair result i think after the play that best played 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'll start the play in the midst. i. want to be i should rally and said i want everyone certainly will come here against france and do not think that we know what would we do if we did something. spicy varosha. messi is always trying today it was clear but he just wasn't going from us it just wasn't his days now. of course when you miss a penalty. in the world cup in

a moment where your your team need 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 this year 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 mind so i had a good feeling that you would go. this way today let's get some highlights go came three things i know here these a good finish because that one james like that was after twenty minutes. become aware of the finishing is absolutely fantastic the problem for argentina was to

create chances but. everybody knows the part where we have some fantastic now at that point i'm sure i wasn't alone in thinking i can't begin to get a few more not watching cena but that didn't happen and i soon got one back very quickly we can see that don't match a. close range but nonetheless takes a strong yeah that's right it's a good it's a good finishing very confident 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 feats and the football they play perfectly adapted to the way the way they are.

i . it's it's a big day for the speicher family. you know to have a son playing in the world cup i thought is that something and this is probably the wrong word i don't know actually spanish is that's a better word thanks for that like i want. to study that i'm all right very good i were i.

argentina fans though would love for a straighted after the clash with iceland on saturday especially those that have pinned their hopes on one player in particular. well more than two million fans have come to russia to cheer on that teams and

along with the adults kids too are enjoying being credible atmosphere during the world cup on t.v. goes dawn of met some of the tournament's younger fans. tend to be like i said the body is a sport in the us you. are still the dumbest pressboard never see. just that level you show me. it's a scene i can't do much got going just the same it's boredom that i see and i haven't checked on a. date and could go but the stop as i know better in the. past . was such as i noticed a gorgeous bird what's your name my name's out here i'll tell you i'm a living all right so you're cheering for colombia you're from poland. it's a fun family from colombia ok so cool have a how long have you stayed in moscow so far on the i think one or two days ok how do you find moscow it's really fun it is legal there's a lot of plates here with the world cup it makes amazing have you heard any rumors

the republic of northern mexico nia however many greeks have been protesting the name trails. i think. thousands of people gathered in the greek capital calling for the deal between the two countries to be cancelled the new name northern moussa donia 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 the switches be here is refused to recognize the name republic of macedonia. plenty more coming up after this short break to stay with us.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be old for rich the point six percent market saw a thirty percent raise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remembering one one just shows you can't afford to miss the one and only.

welcome back the leaders of the u.s. and north korea have hailed the historic summit held on tuesday as a success saying it laid the groundwork for the potential denuclearize ation of the korean peninsula and exchange for kim jong un giving up his nuclear also known donald trump has committed to providing security guarantees for the pyongyang regime the us president suggested also the meeting of the two had formed a strong relationship and that they intend to meet again let's turn around and relations came just months off the pad had been less link each other with all out war. we have developed a very special bond. north korea best not make any one threats to the united states they will be met with fire and fury and

have mad men out there shooting rockets all over the place you will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea rocket man is a sick puppy. a frightened dog barks louder i will surely indefinitely tame the mentally deranged us doted with fire. this is true has proven over and over again. can indeed become friends both very honored to sign the document thank you. so the today we had a story meeting and decided to leave the past behind so we're very proud of what took place today that it worked out for both of us far better than anybody even predicted it's an honor to be with you.

historic talks with first announced in march but in may kim voiced his anger over military drills between south korea and the u.s. and thirteen to cool off the summit then just nine days later trump council the meeting accusing kim of hostility but the next day the white house in pyongyang said things were back on track on the first of june and washington officially announced the summit would go ahead well the singapore summit saw trump promise to guarantee the north security in exchange for its denuclearization problem young might have reason to be wary as more advanced you have explains. what's not to like

a new nuclear disarmament deal potentially one less country with nukes where all better off would have us and we have this truly historic moment on film. so why does kim jong jr seem to suspicious could be anything poison assassins or trump just waiting to backstab him the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal come to think of it america's nuclear deals to seem to last exactly as long as the incumbent president take the rainy and deal brought obama his partner has worked on

it for years so much work so much effort just for trump to tear it all up don't forget obama negotiated the arendelle one of the worst disasters the dumbest deals ever negotiated except don't feel sorry for a bomber just yet george bush his predecessor also struck a nuclear disarmament deal with gadhafi the two leaders discussed this agreement should help to bring a painful chapter in the history between our two countries closer to closure it worked gadhafi gave up his nukes and what does a bomber do well he goes and bombs gadhafi is army alternately allowing the rebels to gruesomely murdered him we came we saw that he died. it's almost like something out of game of thrones and we aren't even done bush in turn

screwed over bill. clinton stop and roll back north korea's potentially deadly nuclear program we'll continue to implement the agreement we have reached with that nation get smart it's tough clinton had worked for years to make a deal with kim jong un's father to prevent then north korea from making a nuclear weapon and bush tore it up as seems to be tradition north korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction. while starving. states like the and their terrorist allies constitute an axis of evil trump is one for tradition in fact he has a habit of tearing up documents memos people when he's done with them he had a bunch of guys at the white house whose job it was to piece back together the people he shouldn't have torn up literally had to spend hours per

day. piece together the puzzle to taping and here we are generations of presidents generations of betrayal double crossing and deception and it seems that hasn't been lost on kim. a humanitarian boat is carrying over six hundred migrants has arrived to the spanish port city of valencia the vessel was initially turned away by italy and malta sparking a major migration route in europe here we can see some of the migrants disembarking just in the past few hours they'll be assisted by aid agencies before spanish authorities begin assessing asylum claims france has also offered to take in some of the people rescued after president emanuel mccraw criticism of rome's decision to turn away the migrants there is a degree of cynicism and irresponsibility in the italian government's behavior with

regards to this dramatic humanitarian situation they were market night or the diplomatic spat between paris and rome with a silly threatening to cancel bilateral talks the french ambassador to the country was also recalled and asked to apologize. the french ambassador has been summoned by a foreign minister who on behalf of the italian people will ask for an explanation for the insults directed not only against the government but also against the nation which is among the first in the world in terms of generosity so. garrity hospitality is the french have the humility to apologize the story will be closed and we will work in the interests of everyone but humanitarian vessel that was turned away by the italian of dorothy's the aquarius was carrying six hundred twenty nine migrants those on board were rescued off the coast of libya a week ago and were hoping to disembark in sicily before being refused entry well italy has been one of the countries hardest hit since the beginning of the my

current crisis more than half a million people have reached the country by boat from north africa in just five years in twenty eighteen alone italy has taken over thirteen thousand migrants more than either spain or greece keith best from the european council on refugees and exiles says the e.u. has shown itself incapable of finding a common solution to the crisis by i think there has been a serious failure among many of the countries of the european union to address this issue and particularly the itself in not being a. burden sharing i rather hope that the stance of the new very new spanish prime minister will begin to show other countries in europe and say well we should also play a part as well but i do understand the attitude of the italian government in saying that we've already born an enormous influx of people of the real answer to

migration flows of the migration crisis as it's term is through try to enable people to live in their countries of origin you you have to actually try to ensure through diplomatic and international efforts the peace home for people so they don't feel the need to flee for their lives. some breaking news for you now a woman that has injured two people with an. knife in a supermarket incense a man in the south of france during the attack she was reportedly starting a large bar she's now in police custody the local prosecutor has confirmed the information about the attack he said the woman may be mentally unstable terrorist motives haven't been ruled out at this point we're going to bring you more updates on this story as soon as we get them we'll be back at the top of the hour with all the latest news on is that.

you know world's big partners through mock ups and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the 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. and 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 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 his use stalin in particular the great patriotic war and the victory there as a way to inspire nationalistic pride and. apply to many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch to the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill you know their own lives and spending to do the twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else going to be true so i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so what more chance with. the geeks it's going to.
