it's a massive day of football teams portugal and spain are playing in the egg room while hosts russia. and into the final sixteen of the world cup. colombia over poland unemotional rollercoaster. away from the. crisis empty handed amid growing.

start of another week. it's monday the twenty fifth of june i'm calling a round of global news. that day twelve of the fifa world cup and all four teams from group will be out on the pitch the russia game will determine who gains first place in their group let's see how to say marina rates the chances. can be a big match. can be a match just because both go to the next round depends on what happened before but if this is a match where a result is needed i can imagine a competitive match the home team has also behind

a huge huge support. of their own country through why they have. to compete hard to be clever. to try to influence the game with the emotional side if you. can be a big match. russia face that uruguay at the same are a both are through to the knockout phase but today will decide who takes the top slot in their group saudi arabia will test egypt and its superstar player mohamed salah here's how the group look at the moment then russia and europe level with six points each qualifying for the world cup final sixteen egypt and saudi arabia there yet to get a point of world cup host peter schmeichel and neil harvey sized up monday's fixtures from our studio in some petersburg.

the whole idea. was that the whole sort of preach horniman talk was that whoever was winning a russia europe egypt saudi arabia with that be playing either portugal and spain. it's not like that anymore because iran obviously think they they won against morocco iran of portugal they're playing later on. and the thing about it you'd know when you say well portugal should win but portugal has not played well right now though it's been absolutely outstanding they scored four goals. and he scored all of them you know if i had one chance but didn't fall for four based on all that and that tells you a story about what the quality of this is portuguese team is now looking at that in the table he hamish you can see it's anything from from the top three he ran a big reputation team fun of pictures of portugal and they would be free and you

know that sort of curiosity in this game is that iran's manager colors curiously is portuguese he said he's worked with christiana rinaldo at manchester united a drill madrid and also at portugal so he knows if anyone out to stop this john or another when i was going to make that point if you stop him which isn't easy i have to say that it's not easy but if you stop him you know then in two games they've only produced one chance of that fall for him that means portugal are not the team that. at least not with think now what would you know about torture is they know about winning that are in european champions and they weren't i mean they weren't smelling of roses in the in the games they played in france two years ago it wasn't great but they were very effective and ended up winning it so you just never know but spain i think we've we've talked about this quite a few times. i have the opinion that spain man for man they have the best squad

they also have players who are so used to winning games to winning tournament and playing at the highest pressure for like so many players from barcelona a players from real madrid in that squad they will be. in no doubt about that. and then probably win the group. and as peter just mentioned all today's games are crucial as to who goes through to the final sixteen spain faces morocco while iran will play portugal there's everything to play for for the top three that securing a win is the only way that iran can get through to the playoffs we caught up with some of their fans in moscow. i didn't i could imagine her russia was going to be this hot and i felt

a lot of like one problem. before there are she's famous for being cold so it's good to be just so safe like you don't need it it's amazing that they're. putting the wrong. way to our russian life. good. girl to get out of. the trouble but you know people told me that. the. problem with people. did it was is like please. an off the wall safe place to mine. brazil was for you to fall it was good here is the like the level of

percival so it was very easy to travel everywhere. i can not find anything in my mouth but the red cross just a few months ago three but this. was. not. so now. our people over here you know for a few reputed cases thank you they're realizing. that i have no clue that you both are young. these are not the best you know what to do with the time that you. have that was the case good luck such

a work. good. to see. you. go go. go would seem. that it would be if this. was. going to be the best experience i'm going to push for what. i have been like. six months or so. now i'm like ok i love my part of. the. meanwhile with the championship being held in the biggest country on the planet under fama i had to ride with a fan driving to every venue. so she's one of the ninety five seats for this world

cup in my hand today we're going to meet a very keen football fan site team in fact he started to drive between more than evan high season this will become his ninth and brief into the simple right to place him in russian. how many days on the right both his thoughts keep trying to be honest it's a time in which you feel slightly makes the motions so i saw it as a fairly obvious one but i don't have a great selection of music that's my main problem i'm going to go to a five to six c. d.'s it's a very different sort of atmosphere really i like being on my own sometimes it's hard to think but there's a limit to how much i can be on my own and basically i i stay with friends when i can have a few friends and we should be no good or in moscow i'm here in sochi and occasionally

a motel by the side of the road they're actually very good very cheap very efficient twenty four hour food while i followed boats i will spend probably half the nights in the car just recline the front seats and hope nobody dystocia me too much and i'm too emotionally attached but i already loved it but now it's just it's something that is it's kept a roof over my head literally so i don't think i could i could but it's a part of it's an evil i started to get captured by a drug seeker after but then some are volgograd. crosses two days ago and now so if i said he sides all six to go i'm going to try. to give my best but woke up in the country where i'm living i just couldn't miss the opportunity to do something different on a full well i'm never going to visit all eleven cities again in one go to the next part is the most difficult i'll be doing. some are right for russia. you're quite

off to some aren't. moscow kaliningrad i'll have to drive through if you're right i'm laughing just to get back. but yeah that's the make some pictures and then old away back to because i'm just in time old enough back going. off that our last two weeks will be a bit easier i know most recent pieces but practicing forwards think leaving them would believe it but i didn't estimate i'd really think about six hundred times. my entire travel expenses for. the whole month. it is a prob you know the price of the petrol but home cycle misses me. let alone with you know this sixteen thousand nine hundred ninety five i think i might need to i think you will have one of the best it's been great thank you very much there for a. site that says so cheap to itself and the stuff he really does typify does media think easy as him and the madness of fans at least will andriy from

a proxy so. there was a roller coaster ride for supporters from tearful polish founds to the joyful winners here are the goals the group the day. i.

know who were was. cool. i go ahead of sunday's match in nizhny novgorod some english fans and locals how their own international competition enter all of it was that. so we're here in mission you know good old lovely stadium just outside of the center of the city you can see behind me the england team the income the city here right now sorting out their tactics over to my right the team of russian english football supporting

funds representing manchester city in this game they're also getting ready for this big friendship match between the two sets of fans every sleazy there was some tensions between russian and english fans following the scenes we saw in ma say in fact some of the england fans who were here they were actually there will be speaking about that with them after they smashed but this is a bury the hatchet type of game and we'll be looking to see football be the winning football in england we hope. i. don't know i. could go much it's very nice guys which actually start luxembourg guys scripts just a machine just come together so i know now. when i was still getting to know each other only just just met so it seemed pretty levels and it.

was a scorching hot day today a nation on the lots is just come off the ball that whole it. was an experiment space overall but it's good but also good movement about a good couple of chances for things where we are in the pool in the coming days. gentlemen fair game. really will turn out as a story will win for england. or just relocates if that was made before this game to put the tournament that it was going to be a hot. telling friends and fans coming out see that they were going to be pretty much at risk and how have you guys found out how you found playing with the russian odds today yeah you know. me old guys freights me all the local lads greats me other ring of fans well but absolutely enormous and. totally absolute nonsense

there's going to be trouble here that there's going to be this this weird atmosphere like just. released i said you know massive social and there's been trouble to be changed but now still feel it's been nothing but welcoming we've met russian fans we've met fans more we've been countries the fans so it's been a really really good welcome so there's been no problems whatsoever that we've got one of the should play is over here it was like play with the english lads oh it's really a fantastically good game. i think you need some really cool. i'm really tired but it's fantastic. stay with us for a while cup special coverage throughout the day live from russia keep checking in with our team as well for an all round picture of the football and the fans wherever you're watching.

argentina venezuela they are mad about it because their commies are in freefall those are peripheral currencies when you have a major currency like the dollar the again the euro the panel and enter a similar crisis which i believe will happen will have then adoption rate in those countries wall spike as well as a psuedo store of value as a way to preserve wealth because the banking system is completely unsustainable it will not exist as we understand it in ten years time it will not exist central banks are an endangered species. seemed wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any new world that is yet to shape out these days comes to advocate and indeed from an equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. i again on to our other headline news now e.u. leaders seem no closer to finding a solution to the migrant crisis that's gripping the block talks at a hastily arranged informal summit in brussels on sunday failed to deliver anything concrete it comes amid an escalating rabbi over refugee policies which has put several countries at odds with each other at the meeting and italy put forward its own plan to overhaul migration rules but that got a less than favorable reception from some of the leaders that. we are putting forth a completely new proposal that aims to overcome the double regulation we want to tackle the problem in a structural way public opinion is asking for this. this we know that add the

european council unfortunately we will not get a comprehensive solution to the migration problem and that is why by or trilateral agreements are mutually beneficial so if you should a fast on this issue france will take no lessons from anyone this year we're the second country taking in the most asylum seekers' the values of europe a respect for human and individual rates everyone agreed. in the need to have a european commission. a common responsibility to the common challenge artist on quarter next take a look at what's driving the e.u. countries apart. europe is very divided over the migration crisis and any agreements that are made between the member states are bound to be met with contradiction of the czech republic slovakia and poland they outright refused to attend today's summit they said it was a power move by merkel to control their domestic political situation and then you

have other countries that are refusing to take in migrants outright italy last week refused a migrant vessel that was forced to land in spain while just a couple days ago malta also refused to another migrant vessel and you know these actions they're not going on notice to two e.u. leaders like emanuel macron i'm in favor of having mechanisms that take this into account we're going to have gum trees that massively benefit from each use of the dead sea and who massively claim their national selfishness but when it comes to the topic of migration now at the conclusion of the summit merkel said the e.u. needs to focus on their agreement with turkey as a framework for agreements with other migrant origin countries but let's not forget how much this cost the e.u. it was three billion euros this sternly still a lot at stake for merkel because she actually just had a political standoff with her internal minister he wanted to turn away migrants at the german border even though they had been registered in other e.u.

countries so with the vision apparent across europe it's hard to see how individual agreements between member states and more spending is going to do anything other than drive a wedge deeper within the heart of the e.u. . thanks more than a year off the liberation from minutes and things are slowly getting back to something like normality in the syrian city of aleppo. to the ruins of course but locals all finding ways to overcome the difficulties. what is different is safety when we walk in fear we are saved we are happy because safety is back again see.

that's for the western media i think they're being unfair to us because they still show bare for the children in the streets the state of homelessness and beggars they treat in that pose it is still in ruins and life that. we are the people of the country and it is really your going to restore it and make it grow the west says everything is destroyed but no one cares about this country except for us the people of. saudi arabia is reportedly mulling plans to isolate qatar from the mainland by digging a canal along its border that would eventually turn the gulf state into an island according to saudi state media the construction of the sixty kilometer long canal will take a year several international companies have reportedly been invited to compete for the project but the deadline on monday now reports say that it could cost riyadh as

much as seven hundred fifty million dollars the government though has never officially confirmed the plan because donald has the details. the saudis are not settling down for anything but the best your dinner inas and beach front resorts are said to be built along the canal after all tourism promotion is how officials explain the project cutters opinion of all the commotion on its border is on no but is a list of concerns does the construction of the canal contradict international law decide to rebid have the right to wreck the military base there does it have the right to install a nuclear reactor there and organize a nuclear waste dump of course it has a ten thousand percent right to do so that sovereignty in its full sense. and it's difficult to see this canal as anything else a bud saudi arabia having your tea nother dig at its neighbor in june last year the gulf kingdom and its best buddies announced a full blockade to qatar accusing it of sponsoring terrorism then they confronted

doha with a list of quite you merely demands that included severing ties with iran and shutting down the t.v. station which cuts are rejected with the canal in place cancer will lose the only land link it has on top of that the can now might not be the only plan saudi arabia has for the border area some reports suggest that riyadh adding insult to injury intends to build a military base on the side of the canal that's closer to qatar while also using parts of that side as a nuclear waste dump so in this way they're just trying to launch even more escalation saudi arabia the u.a.e. along with their allies this time it's not just political but i think it's physical or geographic a way of truth for the isolated but again i don't think that this would be a very successful as world war i don't think the society as a morality user would achieve their goals because cop out of house and other allies

in the region first and foremost turkey and also iran so i think this would only further lead to divisions within the gulf it softly even amongst g.c.c. countries i don't think good call on necessarily a view of it such a hostile way like the u.a.e. and saudi arabia does the saudis apparently aiming for the troll of the year award are hoping for the canal to be operational as soon as next year as for cancer it can't do much here apart from getting used to the island mentality and looking at this as a free moat. while some people are coming to russia for the football this summer others do not need a special occasion to travel around the world's biggest country one canadian woman is proving that adventure has no age limit.

i came by to visit my motorcycle because i think it is the very best way to feel a country to discover a country it is like imax cinema when you are sitting on the motorcycle. i have been riding a motorcycle since i was sixteen years old when i get on a motorcycle i become the wind. there draws. he couldn't believe it they thought i was crazy and that's fine i'm quite happy to be that way.

top of the pyramid was my arrival in vladivostok we were on the edge of the ocean with our feet in the water and they gave me a bouquet of roses i think russians are so sweet and gallant. so well done on dry to let some of the big stories we're across this monday get more on our app and it all t. dot com and of course a big day well cup football ahead of us still four matches with the host team up against uruguay two favorites in action two i'm calling bright and this is also international. usually when we have brought about a situation with the record we. the other three decides to go see the first people to rush into the u.a.e. do their departure and as soon as we depart. so

as to the budget. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all sucks but there was one more question and by the way it's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure to come out you have to be the center of the beach but how would you. go all the great britain if you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get going let's go. a low as i want to you know and i'm really happy to join the team for the two thousand and thirteen world cup in russia meet the special one i was also appreciate me to just say to redo the aussie team's latest edition to make up

a bigger. look. a lowing welcome to cross talk or all things considered i'm teetotal of well he's become quite fashionable in the political left to call anyone you don't like a nazi or hitler why you think come to this why all the demonization after all words have meaning and. much much more on this edition of crossfire.

cross talking political insults i'm joined by my guest mark sloboda he's an international affairs and security analyst we also have dmitri bob h. he's a political analyst with international and in cyprus we cross to alex cross before he is he is the director and writer for the duran dot com all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i always appreciate let me first go to you alex in cyprus. i've often said on this program you have to be careful with your political rhetoric because it's almost impossible sometimes to walk it back now we're in an environment as i said in the introduction anyone you don't like is a nazi or adolf hitler it tells me that the mainstream media and some politicians particularly on the left have no idea what a nazi is or what hitler was all about go ahead alex yeah i agree with you they have no idea what it is or what it was about you're exactly right it shows that they've lost that debate based on facts whether you're.
