and a quick reminder of the big game in group a earlier you were in o'neal was there for the russia europe ryan match in some r. and we also got a reaction from russia's tournament tennis cherish if. there's any dream of just coming out from this some more of a rena behind me a lot of them in sky blue jersey. just waiting around boss being in the glory

really all of the three male win over the local side on history was made you can't blame them really for wanting to soak up every last drop because for all the world cups your guys won big never topped a group stage group by winning all three games they have not put to bed by winning at expect some of the russian players build on hearted after the game that we spoke to some of them in the mix following the clash but the first goal and then the game didn't go our way it was a tough match. our very good players unfortunately we couldn't produce a post a pre-action going a goal behind so the dream goes on for both sets of. teams as well i suspect the party into the early hours here in samarra. i mean while with the chairmanship held in the biggest country in the planet. he hitched a ride with a fun driving. every venue. that somebody is one of the ninety five seats for this

will come to my head today we're going to meet and marry cain football fan site team in fact he sides to drive between more than evan high seas and this will become his name down briefly in reasonable 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 a motion so i can tell it is 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 five or 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 stay with friends when i can have a few friends in which you know for 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 wife boats i will spend probably half the nights in the coffee just recline the front seats and hope nobody dystocia between. too emotionally attached to karl 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 drive to catch a bird and some are volgograd. stealth crosses two days ago and now so five cities so i call six to go i'm going to try to. get my mind. in the country where i'm living i just could have missed the opportunity to do something different on a full well i'm never going to visit all eleven cities again in one go. next part

is the most difficult part i'll be doing some morrow for russia and europe while you have to some are a moscow moscow kaliningrad i'll have to drive through with you right and left field just to get by. but yeah that's the most ambitious and then all the way particles just in time for the not going. off that are the last to reach will be a bit easier on old moscow st petersburg back with some forward sprinkle of england won't believe it but i did an estimate i really think about six hundred pounds but i'll cover my entire truck with spence's four for the whole month. it is a pro you know the price of the petrol back home is five promises to be known for the of this sixteen thousand nine hundred ninety five i think i might need it i think you will have the best it's been great thank you very much. so that's that's not cheap itself at least he really does typify does need the enthusiasm and the

madness of fans at least well andrew fowler brought say something. ok just to wrap things up for this edition we have a big forty five minutes of calls coming up the teams and group b. the action just kicked off in the second half of the school say the same portugal and spain are the teams that will advance to the knockout rounds it's going to be one nil to portugal against around spain. one one with morocco but as i said the whole forty five minutes and all those injury time goals that we've been saying don't rely on more of them will be back before we hear we'll inside me for highlights and analysis but just to play you i want to take a look at a crowd that have assembled just below as they stand on the moscow center straights they've been chanting russia russia normally where i come from you only get a crowd like that if somebody drops some money these guys are just enjoying themselves long may continue.

welcome back to the r.t. new center with mean a day or two to feel global news first the e.u. leaders appear to be struggling to hammer out a joint strategy for dealing with immigration to the block on sunday there was a hastily convened sixteen nation mini summit aimed at tackling the issue but rather than producing any concrete solutions that actually served to underscore existing divisions. we are putting forth a completely new proposal that aims to overcome the dublin 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 have asked that 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 our respect for human and individual rights everyone agreed. in the need to have a european commission. a common responsibility to where the common challenge. doll quarter examines the points of contention that are fueling the animosity between some members. 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 debt 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 to 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. if there is not yet a solution inside it's only a dilatory compromise in political form and one will see at the next weekend whether out of fear so contradictory statements earth something reliable will emerge. over eighteen months on from the syrian army's liberation of aleppo life in the city is gradually improving for its residents and some of the scars of war are beginning to fade locals have been telling us about the transformation they

are witnessing and their hopes for the future. bring a safety walking. catching the system back again. 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 the treatment that goes into the still in ruins. the people of the country and it is you who are going to restore it and make the world the world says everything is destroyed but no one cares about this country except for the people.

now saudi arabia is reportedly considering further isolating qatar by taking a canal along the country's shared border effectively turning qatar into an island saudi state media say the construction of the channel will take a year several international companies were reportedly invited to compete for the project the deadline for the proposal submissions has now passed reports say it could cost riyadh as much as seven hundred fifty million dollars the government has not as yet officially confirmed the plan as shit out of has more details the saudis are not certainly down for anything but the best here your marinas and beach front resorts are said to be built along become now after all tourism promotion is how

were fish oils explain the project carter's opinion of all the commotion on its border is on nobody's list of concerns. does the construction of the canal contradict international law decided arabia have the right to wreck to military base there does it have the right to install a nuclear reactor there and organize a nuclear waste dump of course it has 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 qatar rejected with the canal in place cancer will lose the only land link it to 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 or 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 societies that iraq to see would achieve their goals because copper house and other allies in the region first and foremost turkey and also with iran so i think this would only further lead to divisions within the gulf it's often even amongst g.c.c. countries i don't think good call on necessarily view. 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. but some people are coming to russia for the football this summer others don't 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

a motorcycle. i have been riding a motorcycle since i was sixteen years old when i get on a motorcycle i become the. third draws. they couldn't believe it they thought i was crazy and that's fine i'm i'm a 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 and i think russians are so sweet and gallant.

a short break we'll bring you the latest updates on the two world cup games underway at the moment in russia stay with us. what holds his hands to you something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be preached. to going to be press was like before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of my house. or should. join me every thursday on the elec simon chill and i'll be speaking to a guest in the world of politics school this list i'm showbusiness i'll see that.

manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. if. we can all middle of the room sit. room. welcome back to the program an update now from the two ongoing matches in group b. first to spain morocco the score is currently one one america's veteran strike a colleague at the table had given the underdogs the lead but

a draw is enough for spain to qualify for the knockout stage in the other game portugal has the lead against iran ricardo open the scoring in the forty fifth minute and we will keep you updated on the top of the hour. star player cristiana rinaldo scored all four of portugal's goals so far at the twenty eighteen world cup his efforts put him join second in the golden boot table with only england's harry kane having scored more we spoke to the creators of a documentary film dedicated to the portuguese legend to find out what it was like meeting ronaldo. it was so much better than the video. cameras of us but in a world. i. mean some people. assume there are lots of don't like him and there are lots of people

who absolutely adore him and so that stuff makes for an interesting subject and when we did meet we were. surprise you know he's very small he's very particular and he's a good talker he knows people. like him very aware that he music he projects he plays to it enjoys his life you know the bad guy wrestler doesn't mind playing that role he's quite sort of uses him that people feel that way because i think he feels like that's you know that the run out of that you see that goes out into the pitch and strong so you know it's not really who he is the film is more than just about him it's actually it's my surprise family it's just relationship with this family it's a beisel issue. it's about how they have all come up through this kind of the ranks if you like and the story of that show you. know when you see film into. the most

important it's friends and family. is actually different sides of this character and he's more complex and he's more compassionate sympathetic and down to them and this is the kind of the makeup of his life he wants to you know puff out his chest lead out the t. he wants the last minute penalty he wants a last minute free kid you know that's that's what kind of draw is him. but he's not necessarily home with his kids with his you know with his family and it's very different counts on. three points is the only way around can advance to the next round he caught up with some of their fans in moscow to see if they think it's written in this start. actually i imagine the rush hour was going to be hot

and i felt a lot of like warm for was. beautiful there are she's famous for being cold so it's good to be just so safe like you don't need it if i may very well that brazil was geared to full it was good here is like three levels of percival it was very easy to travel everywhere. i could not my anything and not to mount the rest for a few months ago three but this. was. not. so now people you know for a few hours for a few taking pictures of. them said no we're not going to give both of you on.

these are not the best and one wouldn't tell us about. that but even in the face. of something. good. to see. you. go to sleep go. take a look at the final standings in group a now you apply nine points after the win against the host despite the defeat russia will also progress on six points after their wins against saudi arabia and egypt. but the people watching egyptian

forward who was out on the pitch despite reports suggesting he is ready to quit international football. has the story. mo is truly a superstar there is a reason they call him egypt's fourth pyramid he inspires men these adored by millions. of. our odds with a name. and rhymes i'm good dear of the president of chechnya is one of them chechnya is a place where sport physical fitness take pride of place no surprise then that got a hero's welcome on re citizenship dinners and a photo op that set the media on fire cnn's anonymous sources

or in this case one source quickly reported that mo is considering quitting the egyptian team over it all we all know how reliable those sources have been in recent times but yet it is still an attention grabbing enough to be cited by much of the western media so who do you believe is move really considering quitting well how about the gyptian team itself who we contacted directly but i'm not going to have a second look tomorrow to be put on my. car let me you've got to. let me assure you. i don't want to see him in a second going to meet. me i'm going to want to go to. community well i mean whether you want to know you know many people a million people chris are going to. have to learn but commandment at my feet

evidently you. know we don't know what we've been able. to you know there's also been an out poor. of support for mo online too if he uses in their thousands are tweeting and retreating their backing of mo urging him to stay on and c.n.n. has now costs doubt in its own source by confirming that the egyptian football association is denying it all should have probably contacted them first worth mentioning also the egyptian team peaked chechnya to base out of allowed food good facilities and accommodation arabic speakers but a picture with a local president has a photo too far says one c.n.n. source. there's still about twenty five minutes left in the two world cup games in group b. as it stands portugal and spain are on course to progress we have all special

coverage to come at the top of the hour in the meantime you can keep up to date on all t. don't call. me back around thirty minutes time to for more global headlines. right we're also starting right. how does this even though. it's not going to talk about. just maybe right after the mars explorers one who would have their. record. to say

last week. ok let's. welcome to sophie and joe i'm so shevardnadze and today we're got lots to talk about in our program and our guest is. dr. hello and welcome to cross talk or all things considered i'm peter lavelle has become quite fashionable in the political left to call anyone you don't like a nazi or hitler why is it come to this while the demonisation 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 cruciform 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 that they have i agree with you they have no idea what a nazi is or what it was about you're exactly right it shows that they've lost that debate based on facts whether you're talking about russia or investigation of the whole russia collusion thing or even a lot of what's being said about immigration i'm not going to take a position one way or another but it just shows that they don't want to argue based on facts or logic they just fall back straight to the identity politics if you. and agree with that you're a fascist you're a nazi a white supremacist whatever they want to call you but it's also peter it's extremely dangerous because well call someone a nazi what's the press starts demonizing someone they become a nazi it signals to the general public that that nazi has to be stopped right and when you want to stop a nazi you have to resort to the most extreme of violence and a lot of times the violence can be justified because someone can say well i was

stopping the next hitler always stopping the next nazi so it leads to a very dangerous place and it's hard to walk back from it mark indiaman for our viewers please explain to them what happened not years after hitler came to power but in a matter of weeks ok it's you know within that i think six weeks hitler consolidated in germany and what did that mean you know he cancelled no trade unions absolutely tickle part of the press is completely suppressed distinguished off of their office on the right stock basically of all arriving political forces were removed from the scene budgets existed formally but there was this good sense to. start which means a lot for the protection of the state and the nation which basically made it impossible to impeach he thought you know you wait when people now are talking about elections in november.
