attend the world cup well their friends back at home have them covered. but the world cup has already witnessed its first scandal manager has apologized

for spying on the south korean team he sent to austria to keep an eye on the rivals who were training at the well just ahead of the tournament and him. in the world cup of a spy who reportedly tried to convince the koreans he was a tourist that failed and he was kicked out of a closed training session after that though he rented a house near the training base where he studied the team using a high performance telescope and video camera of a south korean well he thought something was up and made his players swap jerseys to a bit of confusion here's his take on the incident we switched them because we didn't want to show our opponents everything we wanted to confuse them they might know a few of our players but it's very difficult for westerners to distinguish between asians all managers probably think their opponents always spying on them.

amid the scandal south korea will face sweden today. also on monday heavy lift as belgium clash with world cup first time as panama but today is also a big day for england fans the three lions kick off their world cup adventure in volgograd where they face to his year and the last encounter between the teams was at the world cup in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight that time around included one scoring two goals now the match will take place at the stadium in southern russia.

the england team have gone through turbulent times recently with poor performances out tournament's of the last and only time they lifted the trophy was in one thousand nine hundred sixty six now it's a new c.e.o. who have qualified for the world cup for the first time since two thousand and six hope to make the best of their return peter all of a has been catching up with fans ahead of the big game in volgograd. it's all of the phone it's all about football i think i'll bet not going to get to hear we're going to have a little bit of it gave the itineraries england versus tunisia ten. twelve thirty forty fifty sixty eight to the idea that i have called yesterday we're after what's you know what's in him i'm not a doctor thanks very much you've got to be sixteen i believe five six seven.

what happens in england game similar to england who does you want out of it but i'm going to be a very tough game but we will win you know the most they're not going. to let the nose of the funds being as well behaved in a decent is these behind me unfortunately i did witness so abhorrent behavior by you can see this in england fans straight on salute being thrown up as well as songs that really cannot be repeated but i spoke to the chief executive of the england fans federation about them about what happened there i was in line funds should be doing well here in russia we don't always acknowledging good funds to do what the. majority of us do all the time which is just to treat the place with respect you're really impressed with the degree of hospitality we've got to every told him and there's always a media story about most of the experience trouble is a bit immune to that sort of thing that would be exciting newspaper called he sells newspapers because. the reality i'm here in the middle of the great revolt

government me on during around the marina here i've come across something of a familiar sight on one of the yachts. not just an english flag but also an englishman graeme conceit permission to come of oh it's a permission granted let's. don't end up in the war you've been doing a little bit something special for the world cup tell us about the well we've sowed all the way here from gary and it took us thirty six days to get all the way from bulgaria of all the crimea in the eyes of say we travelled under the crimea bring. one day before mr putin you've provided a bit of something for those like myself who are even if the first time yeah we've written a small guide called the englishman in volgograd because usually on the only englishman . there's a few more now. it's just the top five of everything around from my own perspective if that's the stadium right there what do you think what is your team for england

taking place right there what's going to. include three. zero zero zero obviously with anticipation building ahead of the match our star pundit joins embody and makes his predictions on the upcoming. england by nature is a bit pessimistic they've dealt them up themselves they're not very confident they have huge pressure on their back. is not the same level in england some of the best players in in europe playing in the best league in the world but that seems to an easy is going to create some little problems but in the end talent and experience they have to in england. for a very short break we are back. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only. exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. to you so. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to be that's. actually going to be for us this is what them before three of the more people. interested always in the

water. there should. be with us today for the program the me too controversy has raised many questions for example how long can you. go before being accused of sexual harassment online t.v. show provided netflix seems has the answer. oh sorry i didn't mean to sexually harass you netflix have reportedly introduced a policy advise in their employees not to stare at each other for longer than five seconds this has neither been confirmed nor denied by the company but the general idea is allegedly inspired by the me too movement to avoid sexual harassment in the

workplace according to netflix employees quoted by the press this five second staring back as part of a package of no lingering hugs no asking for phone numbers and no flirting we're proud of the end to your usman training we offer to our productions we want every netflix production to be a safe and respectful working environment but do you think about when you think about the five second rule i have no idea what the five second rule if you were to guess would you think it would be about i can eat something after i fall after after i drop it on the floor but only before it's placed there for five seconds we have a three second rule in norway so we have what you have to have three seconds between your car and the next car. in time yes oh really you guys were talking today urging people about netflix you know netflix yes ok so they have reportedly introduced this new policy where they're asking people who work with them to not stare at each other for longer than five seconds. told one sexual harassment really ridiculous

company that nonsense that you want to try it sounds like small amount of time but it's actually really good it. seems ok let's start each other let's do that. like the next smiling we could do whatever if it can. seem somewhat counterproductive in every single way seems a bit stupid really. just looking at people isn't sexual harassment if you and i work together we can. well i don't. i think it sounds. that you can't have any and then be afraid of sexual harassment i mean that would be weird i think. people work together. german chancellor angela merkel

is facing one of the toughest test yet of leadership as a rift over refugee policies threatens to derail her coalition government or the dispute has put merkel on a collision course with her interior minister a key coalition figure who has been quoted as saying he can no longer work with her while merkel has been heavily criticized for implementing an open door refugee policy which has seen well over a million people pouring into germany since the start of the crisis in twenty fifteen and she's faced tough opposition from within her own cabinet and a recent poll doesn't bode well either for the chancellor as a growing number of germans say they oppose receiving more migrants in fact sixty two percent of those surveyed agree with the interior minister's plan to turn away undocumented migrants at the border on the lead ninety percent say they want to foster deportations of rejected asylum seekers so we went out and gauge reaction on the streets of berlin. as i hope they find

a way to resolve this because it doesn't make any sense. the interior minister is trying to stuff the populace wave of the mike in crisis but angela merkel stance on this issue has been very courageous and she shouldn't back down now. we could see more elections so the coalition parties need to find a way of preventing that right now they are too far apart. that your far as the minister for the interior. pursue his ideas and his proposals immediately we don't have months or years to come to look for solution of this imminent causes. the situation. america has it's not so question of weeks or months is a question of days or hours how long we translate as a federal public what she did in. two thousand and fifteen in opening up

the drama in borders and creating an influx of my governance this was a situation which was unbelievable and since then we have more than two million people in the country and we don't know who is in the country for hundreds of thousands this is a blow. to your peace and security as. nearly a year after iraq's most school was liberated by iraqi and u.s. led forces from islamic state angelina jolie has traveled to the water on city in her capacity as special envoy to the un's refugee agency islamic state took control of most all the twenty fourteen holding it for three long years at liberation campaign launched by iran with the support of the us lasted nine months and claimed thousands of civilian lives as well as displacing. hundreds of thousands.

this is the worst devastation i've seen in all my years if you need to see our these people have lost everything. and the trauma and the loss that they have suffered is unparalleled. they're here on their own with very little support next to nothing and they're rebuilding themselves with their bare hands they're moving the rubble with their bare hands and their bodies in this rubble that stay here. and you can smell the bodies. and there's an unexploded ordinance.

community. that. is already international thanks for sharing some of your monday with us here in moscow we are back soon with. diseases harlan kentucky. boys the people from using. a co money city it was almost no coal mines left. the job to go all the pay rises to. live to see these people the survivors of a world disappearing before their eyes. remember thinking when i was younger

that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here and that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's how it's happened. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i dived. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman he just kills you narrowness and spending to twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else i want to do because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so one more chance for. a nice minute.

welcome to. both russia and the u.s. are calling for relations to be rescued but hostile rhetoric is still growing louder on both sides in moscow and washington let bygones be bygones robert english former policy analyst at the u.s. defense department international relations scholar is with me today to talk about this. ghost of the cold war is hovering in washington and moscow as relations between russia and the u.s. into a series of personal jobs and escalating decisions what is inhibiting the understanding

of the two great powers how long will the current confrontation persist and who will be strong enough to stop it. robert english former policy analyst at the u.s. defense department welcome to the show it's really great to have you with us here so interesting times really didn't. start off with henry kissinger quote he says that demonization of lattimer putin is not a policy it's an alibi for the absence of one degree with him. yet is there a coherent policy line on russia in washington there are seven or eight coherent lines but all together they produce incoherence by that i mean the congress thinks it knows what it's doing. there are some individuals let's say the department of defense who have one orientation in the state department which is a revolving door who have another and so on no

a coherent administration line has not emerged because they're fighting internally because trump started off as a pragmatic rush a complainer a he wanted to make good with russia but then they stopped which meant tat his hands does this mean that the american line towards russia is pretty termite no matter who the president will be no no this is and this is unique with trump no tied his hands in particular because the pass this legislation requiring sanctions right and that is certainly tied to trump personally because of the suspicion that he colluded with russia or the members of his campaign team. up to no good with russian representatives and to who knows there's this anger because hillary clinton lost and blaming it on somebody who has this sort of outsized anger at russia that's why trump is uniquely tied with another president might not be so you feel like making russia u.s.

adversary is partially part of the internal political fight in america they're using russia adversary against trying to weaken him is that part of the game for somebody who is it's not the only thing. one has to admit that russia hasn't helped in this there but russian actions that have made it easier for the people who dislike russia for the rooster folks in washington to do what they've done but yes they are. it's against trump there's suspicion of russia there's a whole combination old cold warriors trump pater's hillary supporters democrats who just can't necessarily accept a new presidency people who are genuinely concerned about russian actions what happened in england all these come together to paralyze our russia policy but also doesn't it come down to strong president weak president because i mean i understand your checks and balances anderson you can't just do whatever the president wants to do but when i have a strong prize present like for instance reagan like he wanted to make it with

soviet union and everyone followed suit i feel like maybe if you were a clinton where president. one day decided that you went to make it with russia everyone else would agree with her more or less and because he's such an outsider it seems like he met with much more resistance is partly that but the first thing you said is the main thing a president who comes in whether it's china russia any foreign policy issue with a hard line reputation if they decide then to find accommodation accord a treaty they have a much easier time getting it past the establishment getting it passed congress someone who comes in with a reputation as we or soft whether it's china or russia or whatever it might be they're constantly met with suspicion and resistance so reagan was a tough guy and that he could make peace nixon kissinger were hard on russia and they could have they taught you're probably right hillary clinton who would suspect her of colluding with russia or making

a bad deal she's as tough as they come on putin trump came in reputation not just soft but super soft so he's always going to have a uphill battle to do you think is done fixing ties with russia is it like a done fadel for him you know sitting in washington sitting anywhere in the united states we don't say anything anymore we never know never we never know what's coming next there's this feeling that this administration has not settled down. on what's happening with negotiations with north korea on off on threats of war my best friend trade war with china trade with europe we're going to have an accord no we're going to pose massive terror so iran we haven't even got to maybe the most dangerous of all the issues so i can't answer that we don't know we all hope that we find some stability in the ministration can focus on one issue or another well at least on predictability it keeps you guys tone to make you straight all right so in the years after the cold war the funding cuts mean that fewer and fewer russian

experts were being trained in american schools what does that mean for russian knowledge in washington how does this influence policy. it's not a good time. for russia expertise we have and it's not just now but it's the last twenty years there's a strange combination of. lost interest in russia so fewer people after the ninety's were going into study oh boris yeltsin they have a democracy now it's kind of dall it's a crazy place but pretty strong arms control going to show that was exciting so a lot of people oh now let me put it solely on people awake so now we do have a renewed interest but we have problems in our academy but say we train political scientists we train area experts very poorly thirty years ago twenty years ago when i was in graduate school we studied history first we learned the language and the

culture very deeply but only then did we move to politics and we didn't always stop with politics we learned some economics we learned some strategic and military affairs and our experts were sort of comprehensive these days it's much more narrowly focused and there's much less interest in culture and history in the past and that produces very narrow or one sided experts so even though you're right we have interests now people want to work on russia they're interested whether it's to go into intelligence or business or anything in between but i feel like even though there are fewer x. ers there still are experts i mean look here self and there are like bunch of people of your generation who really do have a knowledge of russia what russia stands for and what it represents what it wants but if you like the state department. or the white house don't really pay attention to the expert opinion do they even take that opinion into consideration when making up russia so i have great respect for the state department there is

a large qadri. of mid-level officials who spent their career in russia in prague maybe in beijing back to russia developing expertise they tend to have very balanced and sensible views but you know what happens every four years or maybe every eight years we have an election and it's the secretary the deputy secretary the assistant secretary the deputy assistants the political appointees and the basters who come in and got to say every administration it's not just trump but it was obama before and it was clear before that they put in more and more political and i'm qualified people because their campaign contributors because it's politically advantageous and therefore the competence at the top declines well their latest trumpet wiser in russia and europe on the hill and she's not like a putting lever and it's not like her views towards russia are super favor rule but she sensible and she's pretty magical which is already

a very good and rare think for american if as the academic colleague i have great respect for if you go to the hill for her work i had her as an invite to a conference at our university in los angeles she knows the caucuses as well as russia central asia she knows trade and oil and economic issues i have and she's balance straight she's not an idealogue she isn't hate anyone can she have a real impact on a policy i don't know i hope that she's working quietly within the system and in tandem let's say with people like our new a basket or here in moscow jon huntsman was also known as a moderate a sensible person and don't forget he has experience in business international trade he's been in china and other foreign postings my hope is that over time people like hudson and hill will move this administration in a pragmatic direction but then we watched the revolving door in the white house at the n.s.c. and i don't know. when it comes to russia and people in iran it does seem like the

politicians to pub. blake they have a longer view of relations with the united states what i mean is russia scenario switch right to be friends with the guys in the ninety's and they were trying to be friends with the after nine eleven but then them americans broke their promise pushed a nato towards russia's borders and then there was serbia iraq etc etc etc. do the americans says decade old can continue to be one assessing relations with russia because it does seem to me that the media in america has a much shorter attention span and so does the public we see the whole picture and they think well why cycleway will are so right this is a bigger problem even than you know the average journalist working in foreign affairs working on russia i have to remind them as preparation for their interview of me what happened five years ago it's as if not just with every administration but every turnover of the bureau staff no americans you know we tend to approach

everything as if we can start from scratch it's a very enduring and positive characteristics of america a kind of can do overcome the obstacles don't get stuck in the past but sometimes we go too far and there are elements of the past that cannot be ignored if we want to approach a country doesn't just mean russia china has historical grievances it issues with its neighbors with us with japan korea iran the shaw nine hundred fifty three the airliner shoot down we can't approach any of these countries as if it all started with each new administration and yet we tend to do that it's an american weakness it's also a strength but mostly a weakness but i also feel like fresh equals like the perfect enemy like the dr evil for america is a very good narrative for americans. having russia as an enemy is much more logical than this undefined.
