pretty sure that people that really loves football and is not just focused on. support some team i see people these i'm happy i'm really happy with the results with the results today d.c. is the beauty of football. for all changed when it passed became a night of mexican fiesta is in moscow with thousands of jubilant fans singing and dancing in the streets but for those in mexico who couldn't attend the world cup their friends have to cut it.

and this world cup has already witnessed its scandal sweden's manager has apologized for spying on the south korean team he sent a scout to austria to keep an eye on the bibles who were training there ahead of the tournament and who will meet in the world cup the spy reportedly tried to convince the koreans he was a passing tourist but failed and was kicked out of the closed training session after that he rented

a house near the training base from where he studied the team using a high performance telescope and video camera but the south korean much as something was up and made his players swapped jerseys to so 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 are always spying on them. amid the scandal south korea will face wheat and today in new shiny novgorod in less than an hour also on monday heavy lift as belgium clash with world cup first time is panama and today's a big day for england fans the three lions kick off their world cup adventure in volgograd where they face gina's yeah the last encounter between the teams was at the world cup in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight that time round england won

scoring two goals the match will take place out to volgograd stadium in southern russia. thing and team have gone through turbulent times recently with poor performances at tournament's the last and only time they lifted the trophy was in one thousand nine hundred sixty six june is you 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 oliver

has been catching up with fans ahead of the big game involved with pride. it's all of the hotel and it's all about football i take out bed no phone market to hear we're going to have a little bit of a game the idea here is england versus tunisia ten. twelve thirty forty fifty sixty eight maybe i did i have called yesterday or after at once you know it was him i'm a i'm a dogma thanks very much you've got to be sixteen i believe five six seven i was. what happens in england game to morrow 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 it know all of the fun stuff being as well behaved in a decent is these behind me unfortunately i did with the 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 lynn funds should be doing well here in russia we've always acknowledging good fun to do what the vast majority 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 here every told him it's 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 mission in reality i'm here in the middle of the great revolt government also i mean 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 brit. you know 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 english money. there's a few more now. it's just the top five of everything around for my own perspective that's the stadium right there what do you think what is your tip for england tunisia taking place right there what's going to. include three zero. with anticipation building ahead of the match i'll stop and say marina made his predictions on the upcoming game. given by nature is a bit pessimistic they thought about themselves they're not very confident they

have huge pressure on their back. is not the same level in the world of some of the best players in in europe playing in the best league in the world but it seems good news is going to create some little problems but in the end talent and experience they have two in england. will be back in a couple of minutes just after this break. 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 our god. and i would only 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 none the less what i'm saying is it's gotten very personal. seemed wrong why don't we all just don't. let me. get to shape out just they come out to kill and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back to the program the me too controversy has raised many questions for example how long can you stat

a coworker before being accused of sexual harassment online t.v. flicks apparently has the answer and this is it explains. 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 toward 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 osmond 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 five seconds if you were to guess

what you think it would be about. eight 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 at the time really you guys were talking today about netflix you know never play again ok so they have reportedly introduced this new policy where they're after people who work with them to not stare at each other for longer than five seconds. to avoid sexual harassment really ridiculous company that nonsense that we want to try to sound like mom out of time but it's actually really. seems ok let's start each other let's do that. we could do whatever it can.

seem somewhat counterproductive in every single way seems a bit stupid really. just looking at people as a sexual harassment if you and i work together. we can't look at each other for longer than five seconds because that it creates like an uncomfortable environment apparently where you don't have to look at me. where i don't front uncomfortable. i think it sounds a little odd that you can't have corporation with anybody and then be afraid of sexual harassment i mean that would just be weird. people work together. look at each other. german chancellor angela merkel is facing one of the toughest test yet of her leadership as a rift over refugee policies threatens to derail her coalition government the dispute has put merkel on a collision course with her interior minister a key coalition figure he's been quoted as saying he can no longer work with her merkel has been heavily criticised for implementing an open door refugee policy which is seen over a million people pouring into germany since the start of the migrant crisis in

twenty fifteen she's faced tough opposition from within her cabinet and a recent poll doesn't bode well for the chancellor either as a growing number of germans say they oppose receiving more migrants. sixty two percent of those surveyed agree with the interior minister's plan to turn away undocumented migrants at the border while nearly ninety percent say they want faster deportations of rejected asylum seekers we gave reaction on the streets of berlin. i hope they find a way to resolve this because it doesn't make any sense. the interior minister is trying to save the populous wave of the michael crisis but angle the 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 but right now they are too far apart.

for the into your. years and. immediately we don't have months or years to come to look for solution of the imminent causes what. america has it's not so question of weeks or months is a question of days or hours how long we translate. what she did in. two thousand and fifteen in opening up the drama in borders and creating an influx of my guns this was the 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 presence acuity as.

nearly a year after iraq's mosul with liberated by iraqi and u.s. led forces from islamic state angelina jolie has traveled to the war torn city in her capacity as special envoy to the un's refugee agency islamic state took control of mosul in twenty fourteen holding on to the city the three long years the liberation campaign launched by iraq with the support of the us lasted nine months and claimed thousands of civilian lives as well as displacing hundreds of. much much much of this is the worst devastation i've seen in all my years here in a c.r. 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 unexploded ordinance. going to. the top. and that's our roundup of the news and the world cup highlights and i'll be back at the top of the hour with more.

z's says harlan kentucky. we've all. boys you can be very funny. a ko money since he was almost no coal mines left. the job to go all the pay rises to. live to see these people the survivors of disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in the million years i would see that and it's happening it's happened. you know world of big. lot and conspiracies 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 truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. what politicians do something. to put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or some want to. have to try to be for us this is what the four letters three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters in the house. this city.

hello and welcome to cross talk for all things considered i'm peter lavelle the trumpet juggernaut continues on all fronts if the remaking the western world or merely isolating the u.s. also is north korea coming out of the cold and much much more on this edition of crossfire. talking unstable world i'm joined by my guest mark sloboda he's an international affairs and security analyst we also have dmitri bobbitt he's a political analyst with sputnik international and in plymouth we cross to patrick henningsen he is a journalist writer and founder of the news website twenty first century wired dot com all right gentlemen rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i always appreciate patrick let me go to you first in plymouth so much to chew on

here reflect upon my introduction. trying to recast the western world or maybe the whole world in its entirety or is this really just isolating the united states or a combination of all of i would have just said go ahead patrick and. you know this is this is the big challenge to determine firstly what is us foreign policy you know i think there's there's been a tendency there's a tendency by academics and by some commentators to try to look for breaking trends to try to generalize everything into sort of larger themes like is this a realist a revival of a realist foreign policy or is this a continuation or a different version of a liberal globalization based foreign policy i think it's really difficult because if you look at history the only consistency with a lot of u.s. foreign policy is its inconsistency so you look at you see your hypocrisy at every turn no matter how many administrations you go back to but one thing that is

consistent is a kind of post world war two grand strategy and sort of the united states as it's come out of the cold war period then entered a kind of period where full spectrum dominance was its main priority and i think to some degree that is still where a lot of washington's thinking is directed pentagon led full spectrum dominance as thomas barnett sort of you know laid out during the bush administration but in terms of donald trump i think the united states is at a very interesting crossroads because the first time where it's not expanding in one hundred twenty years internationally it's actually having to reconsolidate its positions not just at home but abroad as well and i think dollar trump is the ideal chapter eleven practitioner maybe for this point you know u.s. history chapter eleven that's really great to have mark here i mean also you know everybody's looking for these kind of short phrases to describe i came across one no friends no enemies that would least work in the case of dealing with the i guess

we can use it correct and disastrous g. seven meeting in canada and no enemies dealing with north korea at least at the time for the time being as some kind of partner illegitimate partner no friends no enemies yeah. i don't think there is a coherent trump foreign policy and i don't think that's the should promise us because it's quite clear that doesn't have complete control of the u.s. foreign policy congress has a multiple times attempted to usurp that right pushing him passing legislation forcing him to put new sanctions on russia now they're putting forward a bill trying to for bid the president the commander in chief from withdrawing troops from south korea without receiving the approval of the secretary of defense that's that fowles that we also have a members of congress petitioning other pentagon to so jet fighters the. thirty

five's to turkey to turkey. and they're also threatening against india but the one thing that congress doesn't seem to want to reclaim is their actual constitution given power their very their did they really clear their very choosey they really cherry pick. well i agree with the big big question is are we seeing the continuation of the same so-called liberal or would truly be real world order be in be able to see the scene something else well i think that trump is actually less dangerous than their you know the people who were building their so-called world order during the last twenty five years because if you compare the war to an apartment block you know what these people want is to demolish it completely build a new one russia and china as the biggest tenants right now voice in their objections their dolls the usual response is just don't worry you will be better off we'll give you new apartments right and wrong place just very you know

open the crush and the walls around himself do you know you will see a real estate agent absolutely this is not i think i did not go with the original but when he is just simply you know expanding. and i mean i like what patrick let me go back to you and climate at length because i think what's really interesting here is that the united states still wants to lead ok it still wants to be dominant but it's not doing it with its allies because it sees the its allies is being a dead weight ok i mean they don't pay their own way they get preferential trade deals so the this is what makes trump a bit different he still wants to be win and be number one he doesn't really care if he doesn't want to carry the load for the entire western world anymore because he doesn't see it as being cost effective again he's a real estate agent patrick and climate sure that this is the transactional nature of this ministration that you see this reflected through to the white house you see

it was especially through nikki haley although she's taking her wrecking ball towards multilateral institutions like united nations and other sort of international institutions and don't trump is sort of taking the wrecking ball maybe towards nato you could say and in some ways the european union but i think you've got two different sides of foreign oil so you're need to separate you're up and what's going in that hemisphere and all the legacy post were to look see there with asia and don't trump is much more comfortable in asia and he's doing exactly the opposite of what the previous administration did which was lead from behind this is a president now that doesn't want to be upstaged by his secretary of state he's actually taking the lead he's interfacing directly with some of the most powerful leaders in that region and i think he's more comfortable in that environment that's where the money is this is where the future is asia is forward looking and certainly on the cost of the global economic surge in that part of the world so

this is definitely much more of a comfort zone for this president but in europe it's much more how the amount of patrick little issue patrick i mean you know i mentioned the g. seven i mean and this is somewhat kind of my mantra my hobby horse here is that trump is it is not in tune with the postmodernist order of things that postmodern. mine think ok mindset and that's that's the g seven ok particularly in europe he doesn't see eye to eye with mccrone with trudeau with people like that because it he just has a very different understanding of everyday politics he's not a theoretician ok he doesn't have a theory he's a he's a practitioner let me go to mark here on this yeah he's not a liberal i mean not a liberal that this one but up and patrick thank you my brain is now imprinted with an image of nikki haley as miley cyrus driving a wrecking ball into the united nations and this is so here's the problem even though it's it's a divide between not only the u.s. deep state and the trumpet ministration but between trump and people within his own

administration like mad dog madison and so on they still want to pursue american hegemony and there's no way america has given up on the pursuit of global military financial and other means of a germany around the world trump does see that as wasteful i've seen a characterization that he loathes the liberal international order that has been created since the establishment of bretton woods through the uni polar moment and so on because he does see it as not as damaging the us as transferring wealth and the us overplaying the role of defense when it doesn't need to around the world he sees a stance of the u.s. allies like the e.u. as rivals as economic rivals because he's a businessman and that's the way that he views the world on business terms and he sees ins and outs at an imbalance particularly with europe and he faults europe as

having worse trade policies for the u.s. than china jeffrey goldberg in the atlantic this week did it in article he's famous for giving this softball interview he was the one i. apologise where obama told him that his four. policy was simply don't do stupid stuff stuff yes she did it. well a jumper goldberg got three different characterizations supposedly from three different anonymous officials within the trumpet ministration of how to define the trump foreign policy the first one was this no friends no enemies which is a very real it's the interpretation. unfortunately trump if you wanted to pursue that i don't think he's had the ability to pursue that as much as he would like what one of the second ones i think will feed a lot of conspiracy theories that may not be conspiracy theories that a more permanent destabilisation creates american advantage while that that sums up

american foreign policy and military policy and what they've done in the middle east the support of. terrorists you know in libya and syria and so on and the last one sums it up as far as the liberals are concerned we're america be think of breaking bad everybody i think you know i mean you know but also you could say in kind of as a extra layer it from what we've heard from patrick and from mark is that trump is determined to undo everything barack obama did ok everything well you know a strange way yes and interestingly not on the standing actively at all of the terrible things barak obama did southern this song but the one before you know recently he said that it was thanks to all bamma that crania became russian hill business meant that obama was we go soft no he looked at me and my around yes boy

did the coup in ukraine without which i mean i would never never have gone back to russia people would never be pushed to vote for that referendum for going back to russia so just you know unintentionally. trump told the truth and if we compare trump and the so-called liberals in the us administration trump is more peaceful let me give you. the only real careful there are you serious you got twenty seconds to explain that this is just. the headline from the nation the media response to the meeting with trump betrays a cynical attitude to south korea's security basically the media response was tromp made concessions he gave up all the exercises he's betrayed the united all i would say. to defend him that's part of our to the deal gentlemen i'm going to jump in here we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue want to.
