who. and while the argentinean contingent in the russian capital have seemingly put their crushing defeat against croatia yesterday behind them they're offering tango classes to everyone a few players may have to brush up on their footwork before the next game to put nicholas was street was only a taken either by the icelandic viking save their own special way of inspiring their team as he goes down ousting finding out. the brand themselves vikings and they've invaded the russian capital in full force iceland deployed almost ten percent of the population to support the team at their first woold cup. in the game against the mighty argentina that ended up in a big upset for leo messi and the rest of the nation the blue shirts shouted

themselves hoarse it was time when i joined them was it was it was it was. the was there kristen and co felt right at home in a city with roughly forty times the population of the entire country the place yet to come here is like nothing we've ever seen before it's now has the games it's about this it's about the own admission their own ticket. this is why you will come right here. in new the time. i've spent with iceland's chanting cool one thing is

obvious qualifying from one of the groups of death doesn't faze the vikings and even if they don't win the cup they've already one everyone's hearts done of oxy. well we've been saying that they're big goals and the certainly os serbia won switzerland won he was an absolute crack at the ball came spinning out to granny jacka who absolutely belted it with his left foot to spinning shot why possum he had no chance so it's one one including what you think it was when it wasn't have to say granted jack is a specialist in those i remember him scoring almost exactly the same goal from about twenty five yards until my beloved liverpool's goal so yeah it's an absolute fantastic goal open open game and maybe more goals in it and you say look at me i'm plenty of time to get only fifty four minutes gone plus any stoppage time so yes it's anybody's game but recently decided to want to think you did it all right let's let's go over the predictions there's a bit better than that but anyway those football fans who couldn't make the trip to

russia have had to console themselves by keeping up with all the action in their home countries a group of english friends are doing exactly that but i've found a great way to get an authentic international feel to the guys.

i. didn't say to. pick up. the printer instructor told once before and said call was pretty in around booking stuff a lot so this one we just thought would talk a little bit different but so far we have nineteen become games by day so recruiting the seeing pots of money that we could not see and with meeting people from different walks of life the country. and it's kind of it's humbling and it plays great connections with our city more than anything we have to do.

well the famous fine king tom who couldn't inspire iceland seeing a victory in volgograd earlier this evening they slumped to a two nil defeat the nigerian super eagles luke blimey and pops deservedly picked up their first points of the tournament the africans now sit second in great danger behind croatia now in nigeria open the scoring to a forward top made new self c.s.k. moskos shortly after half time although as he moved through accidentally clotted the icelandic to found out i cannot see good so in the back of the head with a knee not made more so than double just tally with a simple finish after breaking clear and rounding a goal keeper actually could have scored even before that hitting the ball absolutely for me one i saw and then looked to have underweight back into the game when they were given a penalty by the way are guilty citizen he nervously stepped up to take his spot kick and he put it. well i didn't bob it was surprised that one. with some big

names coming up this weekend including germany versus sweden in group after the manchester united boss it was a marine year has been predicted who will come out on top let's listen. germany and sweden. germany is all busy a very strong experienced team that knows better than anyone. how to win how to be competitive streak in the interesting team to take the very well organized i don't think they have enough delegates in attack to crit just for us to germany so they will try to set up. a game with swedish good solid defense but in destin german they will get the first points. so let's go back to the iceland game and now we can cross over to icelandic act.

to watch the game at the ball to try to read a little good or really good to see you this evening. sorry about the results. do you think nigeria deserved to win. this is a very difficult question. but in all honesty i would have to say yes to that that would be my answer to that question i have to say you know our main guys they kind of didn't. do what they were supposed to do i mean if we would have scored from the penalty then the i think we would have equalized eventually. but it's ok we're here on the big states and the victory not having fun in the biggest party oh nerves and we were in neck the next game and argentina where when nigeria and we will qualify. i through the round of sixteen no doubt the

spirit that's the spirit now there's a man who's being very positive way liking your attitude they're gonna say let's have a look at it then it's iceland's first world cup we know how you did it the year being english let's not go that basis world cup in russia living up here expectations. absolutely this is whole this is this is fantastic i mean russia has surprised us all by its hospitality and how everything is easy we get around d.c. i just got kissed by too late this will say it absolutely. and you know it's just wonderful to be here it's a little bit warm if you're good just turned down as a moment so just a little bit then you would feel a little bit better well speaking of warmth we were unable to be at that game i mean we come visit all the games but from here on the screens it looked like the atmosphere inside the stadium was pretty pretty hot what was it was that the case

what did you feel a side stadium. felt like a sound. half like we were sitting there being char broiled and they took him in our sun protection before we could vent through the arena so we're i'm i mean i'm i'm i'm well done to say the least. well looking at it from and i've cited a knowing that viking perspective the wells already completely fallen in love with the viking fans and that famous the viking top that you day i mean does it really inspire the place do you think it's your twelfth man on the page. i think well i hope so i mean i've been following this team since one thousand nine hundred seventy five could you believe it and in recent years this big movement and you know the followers of the team the players say it constantly we are. the twelfth man and the name of the fan club is the twelfth man so of

course we believe it and you could hear the soonest nigeria score we stood up cheered our guys on because it when love them i think is a bit different from this you know our team is a little bit different from maybe the english team or the fans if somebody screws up we just cheer them on better luck next time come on we can that's the spirit good or just finally briefly your score prediction against group leaders creation the next day. my score production of you know critics here and yes this is a very good question again. and i just found out i have inside information i brought this with me this is the icelandic secret behind our success this is what every kid in iceland eats every single day this is

a russian left there is to it they and they are here. and i think it's called spin that's what we call it i proved it personally to hold tell of the team and if they eat enough of this we're going to win by let's say two zero. zero zero works that works that doesn't work for you definitely thank you so much for being us and good luck for your fantastic team and keep the spirit going because that's something we're being infused with and that's one task absolutely at least i got now thank you very much. thank you. will all across russia ceremonies have been held this friday the event is known as the candle of memory and remembers the beginning of the great patriotic war in volgograd the event was held at the fee for fans on mobile phones were held up instead of candles and here are pictures from the attitude and work the ceremonies across russia wore attended by citizens and war veterans like us they pay tribute to those who fought against the nazis. when

yes hello again from the r.t. news center i'm mickey aaron with the headline news now the hard won twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal is now on the brink of total collapse to wrong says it's losing faith in europe's ability to salvage the agreement that's following america's controversial withdrawal in may well under the accord iran curb its nuclear ambitions in return for the easing of sanctions with more details his paullus later . well iran has warned that it may soon exit the nuclear deal that is known as the joint comprehensive plan of action we're hearing from the rainey and deputy foreign minister who says it is clear that the future of the deal now hangs in the balance i told the conference today the. terms of unit because it has lost its balance as a result of the u.s. withdrawal from the do you the iranian deputy foreign minister was speaking to the

press in vienna where the remaining signatories are meeting to try and salvage what at the time was termed a landmark agreement but what we are hearing from taran is they're insisting on some kind of assurances from those remaining signatories in the most notable among them being europe that they will be amendments put in place to offset the negative impact of washington withdrawing it was back in may that the american president donald trump decided to ditch the deal it's a deal that for several years in the making it was a deal that trump has called the worst deal or one of the worst deals that america has ever signed off on and since his election campaign he promised that he was going to get to from the deal not only has he withdrawn from it but he's also announced that he's we imposing sanctions against iran and at the same time has vowed to come down even harder on the islamic republic and this is despite the fact there are warnings they're doing so could have dire consequences now since then europe has been scrambling and trying hard to convince the iranians that they

remain committed to the deal but we certainly hearing from to iran is skepticism as to whether or not europe can offer something of real interest and what this essentially means is that the prospect of iran withdrawing from the nuclear agreement is becoming ever and ever more imminent we've got reaction from professor foe i desired it to run university. it may actually lead to a war that both iran and europe are interested to save in the agreement but if the agreement is finished totally after the u.s. withdrawal. the conflicts you already have been in the middle east are going to increase and i think the reason the foreign minister talked about. him and being interested is basically an attempt to push europe to actually work harder to make sure that. iran is able to est what iran has been saying

is that you can have sanctions or you can have iran's nuclear program. limitations but you cannot have both you cannot have iran limiting its nuclear program and have the sanctions at the same time you cannot have your cake and eat it too that's basically iran's argument and the people in iran hoping that europe will actually do what they need to do. the prince of wales and his wife the duchess of cornwall took a trip to be english that he had thought was great this friday visit was aimed at lifting spirits in the wake of the poisoning of a former russian double agent and his daughter in march now after checking out reports. we aren't even souls were you which almost four months ago now became the epicenter of this massive scandal that took over headlines all over the world where former double agencies call him his thirty three year old daughter uit were found

slumped on a park bench right here and so was very and indeed all of the attention all eyes were back to celebrate today as the prince of wales charles and the duchess of cornwall camilla have been paying a visit indeed to boost the syrian city spirits and really help it out on its way to what's being described as recovery but some of the locals we've been speaking to here seem to have a little bit of a sense of fatigue when it comes to this whole saga already people ok very quickly . i mean i think don't forget because it takes almost never have and yet. you keep on coming back on the news. will be some of a place and guys go some people will start with i think it will take people a month but it is building back up i've noticed a rhyme the time well sort of coming back it will also at the same time some locals we've been speaking to here in seoul have basically told us they have some

suspicions about the approach and position the british government had taken on this whole case. i mean. i'm not saying that he. could ultimately do with it. it wouldn't make it to this country could be the americans. but you know i think we need to events. and we can really come in until we see all the well if you remember all of this kick started on march fourth when sergei screwball and yulia were found on a park bench they were taken to a hospital it was later announced that they had been poisoned by a nerve agent that was jobs not a truck and. immediately all hands pointed to russia the british government if you recall said it's highly likely that moscow was behind this they said that only russia would have the operate of means the motive and the force of being able to

get their hands on novacek so they blamed russia immediately they expelled diplomats it became the biggest diplomatic row between russia and britain certainly in decades while that whole time russia of course saying it had nothing to do with the attack that you said they would have any motive for doing something like this and they have been denying all along having had to do anything to do with this point something while asking to be able to participate in the investigation that actually is still going on all of these months later we do know that hundreds of detectives have been working here examining as many as five thousand hours of c.c.t.v. footage here on the ground and so it's very yet we're still waiting for kind of official investigation results to be announced and of course so again you have made it well out of the hospital and are feeling better and actually not many very people seem to know where they are at this point the russian envoy to the u.k. told is that russia will continue to push to be involved in this group powell investigation. i sent a letter today to prince charles he visited souls agree and he supported the people

of those very but i send e-mail that explaining our position i wrote that russia has had nothing to do with it and that's exactly what we said officially to the british government i said that we are demanding the access to the investigation we're demanding the excess to be russian citizens and we want to know the details and with we want to know the truth so far everything is under this secrecy. is done on this secrecy and we don't have any access so all these things that i wrote to the royal family you know the two brief. prince charles and you can better understanding you know what is the russian position on that. unfortunately we don't have any access to the investigation so so far no information we didn't get the substantial. answers from the foreign office on the questions that were put

. to the british so. we don't have access to russian citizens. rethink what we have seen this is on a t.v. the interview i mean the interview i'm quite sure that the british stand on this position. and the sli so one day we will get the access to the russian citizens. the sooner the better we'll continue the political pressure as we understand that. more british allies from the west and look asking to present the evidence. so some time ago they a few months or when they made a joint statement in support of the british position so they believe britain on their word today it's time to. explain you know what other evidence and

see the first signs of that kind of mood in germany but i'm quite sure the other countries under the pressure of the public opinion in their countries have to do the same. about the latest in thirty minutes we'll see that. all across the western world the so-called melting pot is melting down immigration legal and illegal is probably the most contentious and divisive issue energizing voters in germany the government may collapse and trump has made his signature cause can the status quo be sustained. welcome to sophie shevardnadze the u.s. military is relying more and more on drone warfare in this modern weaponry doing

more harm than good brendan right into a forward grown operator in the us military is with me today to share experience. modern warfare can be fought in mountain passes down near urban streets but aircraft firing missiles over afghanistan can now be guided remotely from a base in nevada you know by computer screens by a pilot not to get in the skies what plays in the mind of a drug or operator before he hits the button is it easier to fly to the enemy thousands of miles away instead of face to face should those who engage in war be distanced from its dangers and consequences. brendon bryant who served in the u.s. air force as a drone operator welcome to our show it's really great to have you with us brenda hi. hey thank you for having me write out both obama and trump have a racist drone warfare with strikes in somalia and yemen tripling in trump's first

year in office but this is your mission in this country is afghanistan a prime example never seems to improve can drones really change the course of a cocaine. no drones definitely cannot change the course of anything especially if they're being misused as a tool and that's simply all that they are and if we take away our ability to interact as human beings with one another we're never going to solve this crisis now during your time in the here us air force strongs were tested as a new form of warfare now even islamic state have been using them in iraq in syria to devastating effect to drones have the potential to be asked commonplace as war planes and helicopters and will everyone embrace them at some point. as this technology gets easier to manufacture you're going to see

a lot more people utilizing it you can go to best buy in america and buy a quad copter drone for less than a thousand dollars and you can watch you tube videos of people putting stuff on these drones to make them even deadlier so you know it really just takes a more moral and righteous and virtuous person to utilize this technology technology properly but obviously what we've been seeing is that none of these people who are using these things in warfare understand what virtues or morals actually are are we going to have like a drone on drone combat from now on is this how we're going to look like in the future. well if you look at what's happening with japan and china there are to utilize in this technology to fight over resources in the ocean so it's not unheard of that we are going to have cowards fighting cowards behind a computer screens now the biggest plus for using drones is that it saves american

lives now what is the firing line so how can the technology be bad i mean your side suffers no losses. that's actually the thing about warfare that people need to understand is that there is a price to pay when going to war and if we take the human component out of it then there's no actual price and then we just continued to the cycle it's an endless endless cycle and there needs to be men and women who train with honor and integrity who are willing to go on to the battlefield and interact with humans because that's actually how battles are prevented usually we had people posturing one another back in world war two people didn't fire to kill one another only twenty percent people did today in today's conflict we have a ninety five percent fire and kill rate and we wonder why we have people with psychological the mental problems that are coming back from home or from war to

home and killing themselves so this is just going to make it even worse now you have described the use of drones as a cowardly action i kept of you just in warfare arrests as honorable you can hardly describe homemade to i said attacks or children being recruited took care of them out on our wall right when she backed drones knowing your enemy what resorts to anything to inflame damage or kill your soldiers. just because our enemy does something dishonorable doesn't mean that we need to continue being dishonorable ourselves this is actually why codes of conduct and codes of honor were required for warriors back in ancient days it wasn't so our enemies could know what exactly what we were doing but so that we had a structure and boundaries in what we were going to do his wars aren't five against one another they're fought for the people and if you can set an example for the people as being the better and noble or and more honorable person people are going

to side with you and then the enemy will lose their power and that's really what it comes down to you take away the ability to recruit give the people who are suffering under these conflicts the ability to recover to feel safe that's the aim is to win this war say not create or weapons to kill one another yet but that's the point is there always been wars and there will be wars and there's nothing we can do about it really so as winning a war less important than that saddam you know that is a that is a poor poor excuse that is a poor poor whore excuse look at our look at the leadership that we have today trump is a idiot and every single person of his administration idiots and all they ever do is just sit there and posture and saying that we need to go to war and we need to go to war obama did the same. and we need people who are actual decent human beings saying enough is enough we have the ability to stop this we are conscious living

human beings we're not animals we need to stop acting like animals and actually be human with one another i salute you on that statement and i wish you ran for president one day. i want to go back to how you become a drone operator i'm just interested in a whole process what's the process for becoming one what kind of people are all attract or are soldiers just told they're being transferred. well when i was in the service i was just transferred because of my aptitude scores. a days there well let's just take a look at the people that i i worked with many of them were the lowest common denominator. when the u.s. military needed people to fill these positions they just asked a bunch of different careers to send us people and so the other careers sent us the

kremlin mediocrity if you will the worst of the worst people who were rejected from other career fields because they couldn't function in leadership positions pilots were moved into drones because they were medically unfit to fly their aircraft they either couldn't fail they couldn't be aircraft commanders or squadron leaders so they were shoved into the program there were very few people that actually volunteered to be in this program that were of any actual worth as human beings so this type of society i guess within the military culture is sick and degraded and. you know they're actually looked down upon by. aircraft people who actually fly aircraft because we're flying remotely they get away or flight suits it's a mess the whole thing's a mess and people in there to fill positions because they don't need qualified it's like three months it's like putting on a red.
