recovery pain in brazil g. fing fee for at least is winning over if its message of spreading football to all the world is actually winning it six years and i have to say that i am a instrumental to bring the world cup in all continents over to the world together with at that time president of a large because of the ways of the world cup was already only played in the americas north and south and good of so obvious started to go to to asia who will have a job ban and korea and then there we went to africa and the now we have to go are older on civil and the eastern europe would never in a new job you have had so many of the clubs the not in eastern europe and this is part of this is the going around those two of the those cup in the different continents and that map of what you think the legacy will be for russia meet russia had a strong tradition of football anyway if the european champions they've done very well this levee actually all these great heroes so they had already they have this

infrastructure they have the russian premier league what do you think the legacy will be just that will build on it they will use these new stadiums. i'm sure that they do it if you give a boost when you speak about the the old stars i have always to mention cmon yard my my dear friends women you know who had a certain time was also president of the of the federation of their football but the natural laid out it's a to confirm the legacy of football because all the ways in the voters say it now russia it's on the ice ok no now they will concede it's football and food bowl moves more than any older sport all around civil and his legacy to. russia was already won so the highest possible and then that they came down the mouth this is a restart what is now in the modern world to develop every style start up start of a start up. for russian football and talking the innovations there's no such technology

as well we now have be are and i think you've always had your own particular views about technology how do you think that they are has had an impact on this well cup you think is a positive thing to think it's a negative thing same it is it is not yet totally and ready to be introduced in a vote because the v.o.r. . would be good if the. knowledge say there definitely is that the television referees should always be the same group. because now they change every match and you know in a referee. according to the also think game it is always said if in the old pinion of to referee in the o. pinion alternative there is no one the filo sophy to approach this. and this must be it is more speed proved because now there are some doubts.

led seeing that in the future it will not create problems but in my opinion it was too early to go with to be a or directly into the world where we have seen a couple of issues for instance the england game win and hurricane there are a couple of incidents that were missed by v.a.r. so it's a case of it's not a it is still generates as much debate now having they are as it did before but to be or should have closed all debate and they started to get the debates and this is not the is not the right solution is not the right solution but they will find it and it's the not any longer my problem but i have the right to express my opinion on the entry so you say this is your eleventh world cup but now you're taking more of a back step so since twenty fifteen what kind of thinking even if you've been doing have you been able to you have more time just what kind of thing you assert actually been doing in his. i'm off ball ace in the first i had

a bad time when. when there was an attack on the fifth. in that on the twenty seventh so for the two thousand and fifteen twenty seventh of may afterwards i was suspended i'm still a suspended president and citizen but suspended and so therefore it was not an easy time for made still not the easiest time but i have recruited a big super eight to toll that a certain bama said shall i be sad no i'm not sad. i'm not so happy but what i have lived up in football during the forty one years to develop the game and to travel to more than two hundred countries and to see a whole food bowl is becoming more than kicking the ball and the football is going into the economy it is a big economic matter and then also now football touching. politics and then i am

vocal on that working on geopolitics i am working what is the influence of sport i was also sixteen years member of the of the i.o.c. and so therefore i come for a little bit is usual politics and to see the impact of football football should not be dominated by politics should a football should help perhaps those whole political problems but in the past we have seen the various political intervention for football where are we going to play it was already a matter of and then in this famous call for two twenty to go into it to qatar by intervention of french politicians now folded to twenty six of american intervention political and this is not good this is not good but you cannot stop it if you cannot stop it but how to solve the problem and this is what i am working on . i'm ok looking forward see the next world cup twenty trying to take in cattle

very briefly what you expect from qatar wallace and this will be a gold cup the in a in a very small in a very small country but leave the play be played in november but the changes a little bit but i don't know how they can change the case world cup because this is an addition this to be taken and if all the problems stay very good given around the all of fishel invested in this a geisha and have been made has shown no evidence that the political individual could know all the evidence how this will clubs are to be booted that's now let's go back to the game and let's go back to it's all those matches that are coming out was that we've looked at the opening that they're being fixed is there we looked at the results we do you think let's get let's get a prediction who do you think is going to win the world cup the winner of to find him should have asked i know it's easy to say that it's easy to say that but. now

already at the very beginning of one of the big teams of laws then the depending if they finish first in the group or not they're never seen can change their lives because it is a plan which has been established that number one should always win but if he is not the case then all the order of the possible solutions are now i'm sure that really very diplomatically out so that must be a take the must you must have some are some favorites or what are you know to be favorites i have said that brazil but if they were unable to get to the streets and it was real and said germany. had said france also steal it. i believe also that belgium could be good and so i saw that nigeria is cool but that they are not to come out so good senegal now. so it's it's coming up but but i think it will

be it will be between the europeans and to brazil and why not now because russia isn't that so there isn't it and also what was interesting as well is that looking at senegal they were one of the teams one of the african teams that's been heavily tipped and as we saw that they fight very well do you think within within a certain amount of time that we will see an african winner because we always say south america we will see you we see enough recovery have tried. to develop the game and. they develop the game but in africa the they are no men a professional leagues and so therefore all the best players from africa they want to go to europe and it's an egg so those of the players and so you don't have a national league you don't have the good players together and needs to fickle so you have south africa but they're not even qualified where they have

a professional league you have nigeria there professionally and the demography of the professional leagues they are here and tunisia is here marrocco is here in seoul that therefore we will leave you see how it comes but for africa it's very difficult because they don't want to stay there nobody invests enough rekha they all say yes we have to help africa but in football you invest in europe definitely everybody will see nice in europe now. particularly if you look at some of the leagues as well like the english premier league that's always managed to help but let's promote it that particular television rights and people watching globally as well start to get this is profitable for them because this is the day of the british commonwealth still existing the english language everybody will put in the vault with the electronic all the electronics items it's in loose. english english

. they lead. and they play good football they play football they go for gold and this is important. that the big market for them the seychelles . and the dead there is money so that's why they get so much money back and so he is indeed the global guy very much as we can see by the fans here. it's great to. square the holiday gift it's it's like going to a match ups and i have to leave it at home ok for president thank you very much and thank you very. well. laurie a stay here it's amazing. to both of you thank you. russia will pretty much know whether the team is through to the knockout stages off the today's game between saudi arabia. a win or draw for your of why is all this

needed saudi arabia will give a role so much to be staged. meanwhile teams in group b. stop playing games on wednesday portugal takes on morocco. taking place right here in moscow and will be tough for the moroccans the oculus lions as they're also. no

not taking part in the world cup for the first time in twenty years and iraq and its central defenders who are federal told us that his team will do their. business and it is a mixed team there are players over thirty and there are some promising athletes under thirty such as iraq who plays for iraq's amsterdam southampton's buffo there are some very interesting players like the team's captain. from eventis he's a very interesting player and the team's leader as well but above all we are a team a great team of players who work together we're like a family and we know that forty million fans are looking at us and they'll be supporting us all the way because we'll be representing our great country's return to the world cup after twenty year break and to be honest there are a lot of hopes at home now and we'll do our best to give the homeland the performance it deserves you know portugal's a national football team known as the navigators make their seventh appearance at the world cup at their star player christiane aldo holds the team record for the most number of caps and goals and of course he has fans all over the world.

my boss for the. number one. lunch hour. receiving about three years now and the dream is finally becoming more common to take a lot of different things but i decided not to because i wanted to fling was the word. so those were the three things you love most about the show. that it was a. little you call it a friendship it's

a given. for me does a proud moment because my country pakistan me to tell study football the future of the world cup. hopefully i can spread a message of peace and love from pakistan to russia to football and eleanor's the tree on a peaceful nation. also playing today iran and spain iran currently tops in group b. off the beaten morocco spain has just one point off the drawing with portugal. world cup co-host joy save money and go sharing his thoughts on the upcoming. leg. pain in the run i think you will start as a very experienced coach with multiple. experiences in the in world cup. obviously

spain spain and i would say that spain we play is a lot selected for the walk of will be. also a candidate for big sings as amazing he does. that potential slicing spain but. we'll be in a way where they're going to create some little problems. let's get some other news for you here on the program the u.s. has announced it's leaving the u.n. human rights council secretary of state mike pompei oh and other u.s. officials castigated the international body accusing it of hypocrisy and political bias president wants to move the ball forward from day one it is called institutions or countries who say one thing and do another and that's precisely the problem with the human rights council. as president trump said at the u.n. general assembly there's a massive source of embarrassment to the united nations that some governments with

the greatest human rights records sit on the human rights council for too long to human rights council has been a protector of human rights abusers and a cesspool of political bias for a long time we've heard the trumpet ministrations speak highly critically of the united nations and specifically the un human rights council but now we have the dramatic move of the usa officially withdrawing from the un human rights council not being a member of this body that it's been a long critical of now we've heard from mike pompei o secretary of state and he specifically cited criticism of israel by the un human rights council as a reason for the usa withdrawing from the council's continued and well documented by skins israel is unconscionable. since its creation the council has adopted more resolutions condemning israel against the rest of the world combined now israel has thanked the united states for their move withdrawing from the council and there

have been widespread reactions from elsewhere and the secretary general would have much preferred for the united states to remain in the human rights council the un's human rights architecture plays a very important role in the promotion and protection of human rights worldwide and now we've heard from the executive director of human rights watch mr kenneth roth he responded saying quote the trumpet administration's withdrawal is a sad reflection of its one dimensional human rights policy defending israeli abuses from criticism takes precedence above all else he went on to say other governments will have to redouble their efforts to ensure that the council addresses the world's most serious human rights concerns un human rights council has been quite critical of the united states in a few areas there has been a recent report on poverty in the united states saying that government policy is. by the u.s. government have not been addressing the economic rights of the population there have also been concerns widely expressed about the treatment of migrants in the

united states most recently regarding the issue of the separation of families along the u.s. border from there we have heard from the president of the u.n. human rights council and he said that the u.s. withdrawal is a topic that should be explicitly discussed by the council we did hear from nikki haley the u.s. ambassador to the united nations and she said that the usa would be continuing to push an agenda of human rights around the world however they would no longer be participating in the un body russia is among the nations continuing its support of the un human rights council and plans to run for a seat on it accorded the russians permanent mission to the un the body is the key international platform for cooperation on this we spoke to ramsey borrowed of the palestine chronicle he things of the us leaving the council is actually a positive thing. since trump has been in power the u.s. has further cemented its policy of isolation the isolationism of donald trump did

not just reach the council but also other international institutions on the other american commitments under international law the paris protocol and so forth and so on now i think they just basically decided to do what's in my opinion is a positive thing remove themselves entirely from the human rights council and say it's a positive thing this is the u.s. presence in these institutions has only served to target its enemies and to protect israel and its interests. next wrapping up the program here on our tepee to schmeichel the taking a look at how video assistant referees go about their work during the world. hello and welcome to the peter schmeichel show coming to you this week from high

above moscow's economy great square giving you a glorious view of the very center of the world cup party we've seen all thirty two teams in action already and the mixture of entertaining football and unpredictable results means the fans have been treated to a real celebration of beautiful game that's what i've been has been a real melting point of fans coming together from all corners of the world and it's easy to tell you who comes from where by the color of that. the red and whites of. the sky blue and white stripes of they have a saying in argentina fans and the green and some barrels of mexico. they've all been the most obvious across the. russian fans are young and old came streaming out of the biggest stage and with a big smile on their faces off the bat. in flash saudi arabia five nil in the opening match and the much anticipated fans from iceland they inspired dancing

to a draw with argentina with their pre-match viking war dance two million fans has been known to travel to russia and the squares behind me the party has been going on twenty four hours nonstop since the tournament started last week and on the pitch we've seen everything that we love about football and they that's been delivered by the best players in the world dramatic late goals scored in the ninety's made it all and beyond and they were caught in the third minute a hat trick from right now though and a penalty missed by no other than the you know messi and of course that's also been the introduction of yet more technology into the world's favorite game we've all got used to the goal line technology which is already given two goals in the first round of the group games but for these championships fifa have gone one step further into the world of technology and introduced via video assistant referees.

so what is and how does it work well it's a tool to help referee make correct decisions so the vatsim they have based in essential video operating room they called it video out ball not to be confused with and that ball is based at the international broadcast center in moscow sitting in front of a bank of screens camera feeds a fed into them and they're able to communicate directly with the referee at each stage and via a five radio system the vatsim and he have to be really careful because the vaccine consists of the video assistant referee and three assistants video assistant referees and the last one a cold one eva two and you guessed right eva three each member of the team has been selected. based on their experience as video match officials they're all referees

or system referees themselves. the team at the broadcast center they had independent access to all available match footage but under the current rules can only assist the referee in the event of a clear and obvious error all serious missed invalid and in a number of situations so the vast system can intervene whether or not a goal was scored whether a penalty should or should not have been given whether a direct red card should have been awarded all in case of mistaken identity in other words whether a referee has sent off or cautioned the wrong player so why exactly is this technology being brought into the game as head of football technology innovation your highness hodgman explain the thinking behind it to. you take me through step by step what happens and in what all and what is it supposed to do so in general we're talking about four game changing situations. that these are the

trigger points for we are that means only when one of these situations is happening on the pitch then really can support the referee on the pitch so that means if something happens let's say a potential red card ball goes out of play or even if the ball is still in the game in the background there are checks happening we call them silent checks so that means that we are also the entire we are team because we will have four hours or one we are in three hours in this room sitting together they will check the media that is there's a potential red card and in the moment when he is clear that this is obvious and very clear for everyone then he will inform the referee on the pitch please delayed a game and that's exactly the moment when the referee on the pitch is zero it seems that i missed something he said the word he gets please delay the game now it's delayed a game of thought it means that's the moment. the referee knows on the pitch something happened but it could be also the other way around that the referee on the pitch says oh this something happened i couldn't see it because maybe

a player was standing in front of the action or something that he could also ask please check them for me again it seems that maybe i missed something really seriously so please delay the game and then the ball goes out of play then what happens and then it's exactly the communication between the. referee on the pitch that means the video then clearly explains what he has seen what what was the clear and obvious and we. there is there's a difference between factual information so was it was the ball out of play or was it an offside position because that something is black and white however work or we say when it's not a factual information we will always and that's the most of the referees and some probably some rasmussen. but then they will send the referee on the side of the field of the monitor because the referee should seed with his own eyes to decide yes for me it's also clear and obvious so factual information and the other part

where we need them to pertain to the different decisions we would like to doesn't have to go through the video monitor you can see no ice or drive and then exactly so if it's a factual information so for. example is offside position then he believes because it's black and white we have a line we will see the line ok it's black and white and he will then of course support the he that makes this go to the video monitor he then comes up with what he thinks is a correct decision and then he does what. and then it depends what his decision is so either he stays with his initial decision and play goes on or he says. showing the t.v. signal and is changing the station and if a goal is scored and. watch the situation again and says no it's no goal then he makes it clear that it's no call given and it starts then depending on the situation can they take it back to minute. yes and no and i'll tell you why because

it's start of the attacking face so attacking face it's define the protocol the moment when it starts. the moment when it goes to build up to the goal that sort of build up of to go in that interpretation for the referee as well so it's not that we can clearly say that's the moment and really to the referee to decide ok deaths the moment when the build up to the goal start it and that's exactly when taken for a start it and from there on everything that is not according to the laws of the game can be this is a system completely ready should be introduced to the world cup i think first of all it's very important to understand that it's a little bit different than go and technology a few years ago because goal and technology was somehow developed of course with the industry but it was developed by a few. now we're using normal broadcast equipment so it's nothing good especially

developed only for we are because in many other sports as you know there are already using it however football as you know we have special special needs and therefore of course we had to test all the different elements one element was of course feeds that feeds arrive especially here for the world cup we have a centralised we are that means that we we have to test still when we arrived there but also what we already tested in i would be the club world cup a centralised we are that means that one place where all the feeds coming in so there was tested at the club world cup the next big step for us and where we also have seen many problems was already communication between are sitting in a room somewhere and the referee on the pitch or so here we did many trolls we did many experiments with different companies checking everything and we are feeling quite comfortable that it will work at the world cup and the next element was offsides and you mentioned there was this situation and you can imagine how many may arrive on that day because everyone. very similar things that they work up and

. but also here we tested different providers for technology and for technology there are two very important things that you have to consider one is of course the lie and how accurate is the line and. i can just repeat myself again and again that every line that you see from a normal product it's nice but this is not one hundred percent accurate because it's not validated by and scientific testing institute that's exactly what we did now we tested all the different providers of the line and the second element you should never forget is the person is still a person involved it's not an automatic technology or system but it's someone who has to put the line somewhere and there's still the. so these two things have to be taken into consideration so we will have very accurate line but at the end it's still when is the moment the ball is played and also where the v.a.

system placing the line so that the third element and the last one is then the on food money tours also here we tested where do we place to monitor where can we save time and what's the best location and we did try ours when we started two thousand and six in japan we did trials in south korea last year and in russia and abu dhabi i think we now have found the best. solution for the world cup. how we do it there it's a special outdoor monitor that sun rain all these has to be considered of course and at the end also when the referee arrives that he can see immediately the right thing because when we started we gave the referee on the pitch different angles and you look at days and days and days and he said look i don't have the time so give me just the one where you were convinced that there was a clear so all these things we went through a thousand times just to really provide.
