it's day twelve anyway just one hour away from the final games and repeat getting underway with spain portugal and iran hoping to reach the last sixteen repay has been decided with mixed emotions for russian fans they qualify despite a disappointing defeat but it's. a message. meanwhile saudi arabia gets a late to win against egypt in their final game of the tournament but it is a moment to remember for the egyptian goalkeeper debuting at forty five years old. and away from the football eve leaders have an informal summit on the migrant

crisis emptyhanded amid a growing between several member states. and you're watching all to international live from moscow with me in a day which welcome to the program of the headline news a little later we've caught up with the full time reaction from monday's early world cup matches with neil harvey and peter schmeichel. good evening our welcome to the party's continued coverage of the twenty eight thousand feet for world cup it's another beautiful moscow evening we have two big three being held this coming up for you to kick off in less than an hour's time it's going to be spain against profit which go against around any three from the top three because free of the great atmosphere first of all life elves are going to

fix this first of all they get there is a demand change around need to be coached and if you're wondering spain need a point but before we talk about that peter schmeichel welcome of take a deep breath give you a chance to speak i want to talk about that mystery here in moscow is great to be back and this is why it's great because the atmosphere is fantastic and we have i've obviously can count that there's a lot of a few thousand people down there and it's it's a mexican fans makes the russian fans and i can see german flags i see red shirts i would love to say that much of it but i've been disappointed every time i've i've come close enough to see in the pageant they will come to morrow i hope i see swedish i see colombian shirts a lot i mean. and they're very nice and they're having an incredible time and it's just been like i'm grateful they keep me entertained if nothing else it's nice having them be so nice and like i tell you what really makes me happy is that football is doing this you know this people have traveled from everywhere in the

world we've seen a lot of australian fans are straight is a fair bit away from here in siena fans we've seen peruvian fans columbia fans and mexican fans in numbers. there are also about twenty thousand fans from the u.s. which is incredible considering that the u.s. is needed even in the tournament everyone that i meet and everyone i speak to the. they say they're having a fantastic time the weather helps that the weather here in moscow has been absolutely fantastic and you know people do it yourself you know i think they just every morning wake up and think let's go let's go and have a good sign and they are going to actually hear from a couple of fans they've made quite an effort to come and watch the iran portugal and counted us coming up with a surrounds corrina in around fifty five minutes time what do you make of this one piece because it ran first follow what i want to put the argument for iran to nine

clean sheets in ten qualifying games yes against much weaker opposition they've only conceded one goal in the two you can say as a defense seems to be their strong point but can they do enough to actually win a game against a side like well you know hunk of us johan come back i think is named. backlash is a name that he's playing he's one of the big stars. and sandals moon as well which i've just i've spoken about and probably a few times on the show because in my child was in russia i heard this name coming up and again and again and he is a privileged political goalscorer in the russian premier league for grouping concern and people are saying just wait you see this play and just wait but so far i haven't seen anything from him this is his opportunity this is the last potential game that they play in in the world cup and the chances are that if he doesn't play up to the potential that he apparently has then they will be the last game because he is a goalscorer he is

a big star in this team now i really want to see him perform well tonight. and if he does well i think that that iran can give portugal and i think so for now they. will be carrying portuguese hopes as always have you seen enough from the rest of that same rinaldo aside to suggest that. this is a team that should be scared of. yes absolutely. because to to save another site right now like hundreds of the question. no one else is that all the thing is then then the answer would be no. in the hundred eighty minutes or whatever has been added on they don't you have a patootie one chance that didn't go to an elder and that just shows you that if you can close to an elder than out of the game which is a challenge a very difficult in his own right but if you can do that then you have a chance against political to limit the number of opportunities that they get

a callous careless portuguese of course i know he's born in mozambique but he is a portuguese citizen he's worked with are now the in many places manchester united real madrid coast in the world cup cosi thousand and ten exactly he knows everything there is to know about christiane overanalyse so if anyone has an opportunity or knowledge enough to guy play is on how to close for santa rinaldo out of a game it should be here but we're talking about the best in my opinion the test i'm with you and that and the most productive player that i can i can remember with a spoke about how he came yesterday that hunger to score and you know always wanting to you know be in the right position now the scot the same heel i mean he'd scholes for breakfast and that's his life to score goals and he wants to score and he so if it doesn't it doesn't work so much for the team anymore if you look at his

stats and and then and you can go on the fifa website you can actually go in and see individual players statistics and also the heat map it's not impressive but he's played two games and he scored four goals and that's impressive and it's going to be very interesting to see how scarce does this plan for negating right now those usually very significant contribution they run support a bum to a few of them on our travels they have been very good value for money we've. actually follow the journey of one iranian lady who we sort of packing a buying spree toward him and now she's here and having a good time to see. eye to eye imagine her russia was going to be hot. for a lot of like warm for was. eighty four there are she's famous for being cold so it's good to be just

a safe flight you don't need to. let me bring you that that brazil was beautiful it was good here is like three levels of percival it was very easy to travel everywhere. i can not find anything not to mount the red cross to go straight but this. was not. done. so now people you know for a. week you take a picture of. them. both of you. these are not the best and one wouldn't tell us about.

that but just the. something. you see when you. go go to . and as entertaining is the around fans of it as peter pan very studiously checks upon the the team announcements which we'll get to shortly i can't single out one country when the wrong so fantastically passionate portugal founds indeed have been great value to you and some of them with understanding links that can see their side play check this out.

and i love this you're doing your manager impression. of just showing and trying to work it out so we've got the we've got the two teams and so this is for spain morocco of course which is no less all. over but you're going back to the portugal as well ok there are. no rockets but iran looks to be unchanged but i have to confirm that portugal definitely made two changes and that speaks its own language

because he made changes to the second game as well from the first game so. the manager is not completely he's not completely sure about who his best team is. and what i think is probably extraordinary is the cargo curse me who is he will be thirty five or something like that on fairly serious and important plane lands and as i said they were really under the cosh in a second half against iraq or they hung on to win but clearly the manager saw things he needed to improve so let's move. now to spain they says the other nine o'clock kickoff simle ten yeas of course this third and final match is played in green bay in kaliningrad and spain half to get something out of this and morocco only lost one nothing about that much just had the better of the play certainly against iran in the second half against portugal so they are absolutely by no means a walkover an old cliche proud to play for but it's no good me first time i think

iraq has got some pride to play for i mean losing two games one nil and one of them you lose it on a goal scored in the ninety fifth minute. that's heartbreaking and this is something that you know as a football player you know you will feel hard done by and if you are knocking and you kind of feel that you should have had a little bit more of that and that done to get better in terms of results so i expect morocco to come out and play for pride and cry can go a long way to to push it seems like spain as well. but i gained it they're not playing for points and so you need endangering one point to be done they go to spain a place a point of morocco not playing this way in between pride in points so you know it they might not be that one hundred percent but i think they will be it's a massive game and you know it's an important farewell to these world cup for them but we talk about spain so many times spain they are the best squad and they have

the best what they have incredible players and when finance a hero gets a little bit more in tune with he can maybe utilize the squad a little bit but he's playing a very strong team as far as i can see it is an unchanged team but that is unconfirmed but he's pretty plain a really really strong team today and he is playing that because he wants to make sure and i think that is that is a correct decision to go you know play the best players and hopefully take them through only carries the match charge of. eighteen and meeting caps as a manager is in unchartered territory unsuccessful state that a second spanish division a second of that is not a great c.v. to come into a world cup he's right with the work of this fantasy for a director of football or football manager as they call it. this is his second spell well he's not even working like that anymore but he was reemployed back in november and then people after being away for six years but all the way up to that

point he had been working with in this position and by working as a football team manager off director of football whatever you want to call it you do get to know the players you do get to to go and help the team manager of the coach scout out players look for players so it's not like he's come into this job completely blank he would have followed in his preparations he would have taken a very active part in them as well although what i want to challenge you on everest is not been the man who ultimately the buck stops with in the in the big pressure situations if they find themselves losing to morocco with half an hour to go and it's up to him to make the changes he's he won't have ever experienced having to carry that responsibility so this is uncharted it's very true and we have to see how he reacts to that build he said he's lucky in the sense that he's got this incredible squad of players he's got pass along the players in there he's got real

madrid players who are all used to winning. remember that real madrid they've won the champions league three consecutive years and he's got eight players from real madrid in there and i think he's a kind of personality that would have spoken to all of these players in the days where they're not playing making sure that he's understanding where they're coming from and maybe even you know letting them know that the guys are i am a little bit new i will take charge he used to be the the spanish capital so yes he's used to her. having a lead leadership role i would take charge but i might just need a little bit of a hint now and again if you know i'm on the right course in the comfortable what i'm doing and if you had that situation where it was spain and not having the result they won the desired result with thirty minutes to go there are players on the pitch like such a promise but certainly our players on the bench that he he can talk to lean to and i ask you know you know what would they feel comfortable but i think he's the kind

of guy who would seek advice and he's he's a proud guy but he's not a stupid guy well one thing's for sure there's going to some role to support from both of these teams and we've seen it a little bit of it several hundred tasty getting into the groove with minutes to go to kick off the scene and singing and dancing around the streets technics. i live in the load it on a little over. sixty times until i am a little of the old she was and i'm quoting the. text. i. know we've already seen to match a speed play today let's shake it take a look at how these finish your gripe they've talked through pay with the three

they'll win over the world cup hosts in russia and here are the highlights that came that was played early on. i i. i .

glossies you know neil was looking after the game and some are a forest. now are getting. a mixture of emotions that just how happy are your acquired funds and how philosophical are the russians being. yeah the last stream alfonse just coming out from this summer arena behind me a lot of them in sky blue jersey. just waiting around busting in the glory really all of the three male win over the local side and history was made you can't blame them really for wanting to soak up every last drop because for all the world cups your guy is one big never topped a group stage. by winning all three games they have not put to bed by winning at and really did have a long day off not the russian fans here i got here in the early afternoon of the six o'clock in the evening golf speaking to some funds and they were saying they

had been here since the morning time dancing round with a code drums were beating there was a real scythe american flavor mixed with russian expectancy was quite a mix really when i got here. forty two thousand fans packing into the arena behind me making it one of the largest if not the largest much i have ever experienced personally it was quite crazy and really some of the phones i was speaking to weren't even up the game had said they'd come here. from some or a city center which is a sizable drive away it's one twenty minute drive in saying that they really just want to experience what would be some mora's greatest ever sporting event. games here they are with their host nation playing your top of the world cup and both teams of course can look forward to the. ball. run to. full

coming up why some of the russian your going for the russian fans in particular weren't too darn hard off to the game these are some of the scenes we picked up on our camera take a look at this. dude . i. was. yeah i was pretty indicative. of world cup cities right across this country but particularly here in some are really appreciative of hosting. in their home city so indeed the dream goes on for both sides they can look forward to more games party here i suspect it's been late the last few nights i suspect the party will go

on until the small hours here on the city on the. right here. thank you very much you. he was at the game between russia and the other came of that group between saudi arabia and egypt had nothing to play for are you kidding have a look at this they were playing right and what we saw in the game was a little bit of. history well cup history because the goalkeeper. we have to remember that name forty five years of age. made its world cup debut in some style just checking the highlights oh. thank.

you thank you i can't think i . so of course haven't given the big bill that we haven't shown you the magnificent moment we're going to talk about basketball teams and we are going to bring it to you a little later this evening there was a wonderful plan to save. forty five years old making his world cup debut becoming the oldest player not just goalkeeper i'll just play any position ever in the world cup he's going to be dining out on that story anywhere actually but certainly in his home country of egypt for the rest of his life it is and we

promise that we're going to show you that penalty and it was a magnificent penalty save when we come back in the next well listen. back to our main new studio here with me in a day or two and in other news the leaders appear to be struggling to hammer out a joint strategy for dealing with immigration to the block on sunday there was a hasty convened sixteen nation mini summit aimed attacking the issue but rather than producing any concrete solutions it actually served to underscore existing divisions. we're 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. we know that ad the european council of the fortunately we will not get a comprehensive solution to the migration problem and that is why by or trilateral agreements are mutually beneficial. on this issue france will take no lessons from anyone this year we're the second country taken in the most asylum seekers' the values of europe respect for human and individual rights everyone agreed. in the need to have a european. common responsibility to the common challenge. donal quarter examines the points of contention that are fueling the animosity between some of this. it is very divided over the migration crisis and any agreements that are made

between the member states are bound to be met with contradiction agree 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 cannot have gum trees that massively benefit from e.u. so the devotee and who massively claimed their national selfishness 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. that 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. so much of european had thought prosy needed to be put away namely the understanding that all the refugees who wanted to come to europe would get accepted in europe get a fair or legal procedure and then be distributed across a continent this was absolutely illusory from the outset and this truth now if it comes to being faced even by the german government well actually it's. the reason i get the solution inside it's only

a tory compromise in political formulae and one will see at the next weekend weather out of contradictory statements something reliable of william birch that's our top stories and world cup highlights and i'll be back in thirty minutes with more so don't go away. it's become quite fashionable in the political left to call anyone you don't like a nazi or hitler why is it come to this why all the demonization after all words have meaning and much much more on this edition of crossfire. with lawmakers manufacture consented to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous

merry go round the sun be the one percent. we can all middle of the room six. million. join me every thursday on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. shevardnadze water wars are increasingly not by forces of government but by private

hired soldiers present day mercenaries is that something to fear well to talk about that i'm joined by even barlow the founder of executive outcomes the firm that started this private soldier. private. will private. controversy and. even barlow founder of x. seconds of outcomes private military company welcome to the show it's really great to have you with us now ms rowe executive outcomes and other firms you were involved in have conducted a lot of highly successful operations getting more than one government out of a scrap why is it that your pm stays came under political and media pressure every

time they achieve progress somewhere i mean what is wrong with the more the revolutionary united front or lord's resistance army being defeated i think it's very hard for me just sometimes. i think you have to bear in mind that it's made me . someone to presume to mention it when we get involved to resolve problems because if he is the mantra that african solutions for african problems is a very good sound bite. but in practice we know if allowed to practice. so as you have put it when your military company executive outcomes was operating the media was highly critical often calling it illegal or claiming its soldiers eight people you said that lost the media war but most of your operations were conducted in secret why was the media war so damaging for you. first of all the media.
