july seventeenth twenty second business program. forum dot com. it is day. to go through. some of those in my spot among the crowd. surprise you. in other news british authorities. ted. has reportedly been. seen.

from the top of the. day fifteen of the world cup and russia in the final day of the group stage of the competition. through to the last sixteen so basically the fans can just relax and enjoy the game being played. and for many it is.

so it was in my blood just to follow on from there for the full time for as long as i can remember really i think it was the nine hundred ninety eight world cup that reversed first i mean football. playing. on locked in the box on greens of russia over the last four years quite frequently. some of the scientists have never seen it. for a hot head absolutely miles and while i'm going to have. had those facts the. wealthy try to act. i don't really understand the safety concerns of come from this bill a lot of bad press around take your thinking seriously i'm going to think it's been happening so i. like to see when i went to the confederations cup competition on

fear as we talked the source of the non-evil the police took the army's. cooperation with each other to intolerance the security measures. from the big jets of drawing him because he's got weight and you know if you are brave enough to try i completely in the trunk i'm not going to let. a lot of good luck to brian and will that if i would do to scare mongering in the media few of brits have actually come to this world cup than during previous ones but as aussies are the trying to found out some of them now wish they hadn't been quite so wary. for parents to watch their loved one star at the world cup is one of the proudest moments in life so how terrifying standing rows have been all flushed as he said

this ahead of the tournament i'm not worried for myself but i told my family i'm going out there because of racism and anything that happened while the definition of racism that i know is quite different from what the russell world cup just appeared to see and feel when they got to this country. and suggest one after spending a bit of time in this country the three lines the thunder changed his mind i know this from the now it's having my family out here it's not yet clear and danny rose now bad self because he saw players from his team meet with their families or he just never came across as she's a racism in russia anyway let's ask the fans around here if they could tell us more

about their experience. did you have any problems because of your skin oh no no no no manhood stood the sit back in. front of perfect. just like. absolutely nothing honest to god not take everything friendly you could both rest from you both to something most even if you don't know what to go just how someone even if they don't speak up a bit but tell you things i love it. and let them know you're trying. the venue for the group g. decided on thursday and somewhere we haven't been able to find any traces of racism . the sun newspaper is among those spinning a narrative of russia as

a dangerous violent and homophobic place but their top sports correspondent martin lipton who's in the country has a bit of a different tale to tell. i think the the welcome of the russian people is being clear to everyone the organization has been seen previously i've always found russian people somewhat more reserved than they appear to be at least at this moment open and friendly. people everywhere which is great to see i'm just blown away by how brilliantly in the transport system is because the london underground really is a disaster and this place you can get anywhere in no time it's a much bigger city down to which of my kids and my wife i'm saying to them she's fantastic it's i think people were i think they were put in a position where they soon the worse was always think should assume the best they will see it they never dreamed of going to and travel does board in the mind by its

very nature so that's going to be positive and they will go home with a very different image of russia because they've experienced that they had here based on hearsay it's been a real pleasure to be here next to joy. having fun on the streets of russia's host cities you can certainly bump into wall sorts of surprising people and one lookalike of the north korean leader kim jong un is game for a selfie with just about any. excuse. i. feel like i. might make like this but this. shock result could prove an

inspiration to so many groups playing today example of colombia you can still make it through to the final sixteen if they win that match their rivals today though have. their own orchestra to cheer them on. and if. you spoke to. one of the family. you want to bring. this world cup.

i see that people. you know he's a nice town and i love i love this town really i love the song. as mentioned in japan the play poland on thursday in group h. japan a currently on four points and are expected to progress to the next stage meanwhile poland are at the bottom of the group now the clash between the two will take place in volgograd among the various ways of getting to the world cup host cities some fans have chosen rather unusual.

months to come and. you really should try to keep you. know pretty or. not true. enough already just to. put some switches from under me about. a very unique subject.

which is about. why you'll. check. our a. car on. our on. and with thousands of fans taking pictures and videos during the world cup in russia he has started to compile the very best of them you can check out. if you project a dot com for the meantime here are some of the fans that will be cheering on that seems today. i. thank you. i urge.

one years after the break. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be president bush or. more somehow want to be rich. that's why the press was like that before three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the wilds of our. city. he's very. very competitive so we go to do something to be competitive. and therefore we know from when we come back. and we can. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

it is good to have you with us today reports have emerged in the british media claiming that the u.k. government is going to spend a million pounds to buy the house of former russian double agents sort of a script of course was the target of a nerve agent attack in march and if the newspapers are to be trusted it's the taxpayers that will be footing the bill let's get details on this now. joining us live here on the program today and i see it good to see you have we heard any official reaction to these reports either from london. well very official reactions or confirmation or denial of these plans is yet to come but we do know that indeed there have been some reports circulating in the british media saying that the british government plans to essentially buy up the property of former double agent sergei script as well as his possessions and the home of the police officer who was

affected in the nerve agent attack nick bailey and it's been reported that the cost of this deal could be up to one million pounds of taxpayer cash and again the british government is yet to confirm or deny those plans but we have heard from a government body in charge of working on the clean up process in seoul's bre tell us that quote we should respect mr screwballs privacy it would be inappropriate to comment on personal matters so there you have that but we have heard from the russian embassy in london who have said that quote any action taken in relation to the allegedly contaminated premises in seoul is very will be seen by russia as part of london's premeditated attempts to make a transparent and joint investigation with russia on board impossible and just to remind our viewers of course russia said many times over and over again that it would like to be part of the investigation while of course it's also been denying that it has anything to do with the poisoning of sixty six year old sergei scrawl

and his daughter yulia back in march if you remember it was on march fourth when all of this started when the pair were found slumped on a park bench and souls very it was later said that they were poisoned with a nerve agent called nava chalk immediately fingers were pointed at russia the british government said that it's highly likely that it would only be russia who would have the means and the motives to carry out such a thing but russia of course said no we have nothing to do with that yet the two were held in hospital for a little while but both are now well and out of the hospital at this point they were released from their discharge from in may and april and so for an investigation continues. while the script balls are somewhere that is yet to be clarified with many questions about whether or not any actual official investigation results will eventually be released while it is still ongoing and russia this whole time has been waiting for evidence to be provided in terms of

exactly what happened and just last week we saw the prince of wales charles and the duchess of cornwall camilla travel to souls very to sort of boost morale on the ground but it seems that this whole story has slightly left public consciousness here in the u.k. despite all the damage it has caused in relations between russia and the u.k. while still of course we're yet to see officials firing official findings of the investigation that is continuing our abilities are necessary churkin thank you. for . a brand new report of my online new site the intercept sheds light on the alleged collaboration between american telecom giant. and u.s. spy agency the n.s.a. which are enabled snooping on private e-mails and phone calls apparently eight of the phone companies buildings across major u.s. cities are being used by the n.s.a. for a surveillance activities according to this new report the agency collects a large amount of aid to customer data with traffic trolled daily as evidence for

the alleged collaboration the report presents classified n.s.a. documents public records and even interviews with the stars. now another intercept report about the alleged collaboration was released in twenty sixteen this concern the titan point building skyscraper with heavily restricted access that is able to withstand an atomic blast it's an eighteen c. facility that was reportedly used as one of the main centers of the n.s.a. surveillance program former n.s.a. technical director now whistleblower william binney things that such spying does in fact violate the law. the agency can neither confirm nor deny its role in alleged classified intelligence activities what eight hundred he called peering sites the eight eight period sites inside the united states at eight hundred eighty s. those are clearing sites or the sites where they have them all the networks come together and they they put together you know protocol between one another so they

can transfer data between each network and the real issue is the other eighty some tapping points that they didn't talk about then those are the ones that are actually targeting the united states citizens and you know that's the violation of the constitution rights of every citizen in the united states and they've been doing that since two thousand and one and they aren't even addressing the european law for example the the e.u. clearly says that the data that any third party holds it belongs to the person involved and they want to share that with anybody they had to get the permission of that person so they've been violating european law so they need a class action lawsuit in europe against the eighty in t. in any of the companies it's easier to shoot sue them and more pertinent to do it that way rather than you know try to sue the u.s. government because they'll drag it out international court for years. libya is being torn apart by rival groups seven years on from the fall of caffie and the

city of donna is on the frontline of the civil war the libyan national army is now closing in on the city and has reportedly captured one district from militant forces. operates in eastern libya and rejects the internationally recognized government in tripoli. yes. the kremlin and the white house have agreed on the first official summit between donald trump and vladimir putin the date of the meeting about location not yet revealed but it is known that a third country will host it at

a summit was announced during u.s. national security adviser john bolton's visit to moscow as reports the summit is indeed happening what have led me at putin's aides also said that it was organized by the fool would join bolton's visit to moscow but we learned we had a few details as to why how this summit was. bolton said that don't trump ease fool mending relations with russia despite criticism both adds who at the brought the fact is that it's important for the leaders of these two countries to meet there are a wide range of issues despite the differences between the square at those present tramp and present couldn't think they may be able to find constructive solutions i'd like to hear someone say that's a bad idea which you know it's important that it's john bolton saying those words because he's aggressive when it comes to foreign policy you cool russia's alleged

meddling in the u.s. elections an act of rule and dad now he's backing donald trump saying that we do indeed need this summit that you know it will benefit it will benefit everyone especially at this stage when. vladimir putin put the relations not in the best shape which is perhaps diplomatically very polite others would say that the relations between the united states and russia. are at an all time low i have to begin with regrets a belief stating that relations between russia and the us are not in the best shape and i said it many times and i want to repeat it at the meeting with you i think this is a result of acute internal political clashes within the us but your visit to moscow gives hope that we'll be able to at least take the first steps toward restoring full relations between our countries. also a number of tough questions asked of john bolton with god in his prior position is

very anti russian classic republican as some as some of my colleagues called him during the press conference but he said what he said before what he wrote before was you know it got decided he won't comment on it because it happened before his current posting his national security adviser to donald trump he was also asked a funny question that you know he was treated with more respect than the pope or angela merkel jobs with germany because vladimir putin wasn't late to his meeting with. john bolton at which she elected they said i don't want to reply i don't want to comment on this question but let me also extend. friendship they both read to rated the desired med relations to make peace and wouldn't even offer to share russia's experience of hosting a world cup. i want to congratulate you on winning the right to host the fifa world

cup in twenty twenty six we so far managed to organize the world cup appropriately we'll be happy to share our experience in the. most appreciative of your courtesy and gracious. here and i look forward to learning how you handled the world cup so successfully among others bolton's visit to russia was discussed during a meeting with the portuguese president where the conversation inevitably time to football's biggest tournament and portugal's star player i think they're doing a fantastic job with the world cup right now. it's in russia and i will tell you that it's exciting my son who loves soccer and he loves watching the world cup and they have really done a fantastic job as you spoke of soccer let me ask you something well make you a suggestion if you're going to me to put what i want to with him last week could.

you ask me to greet you so of course he was expecting your kiss but anyway. don't forget that portugal has the best place in the book that you scholes you know i'm sure you all son knows it was all about and so don't forget if you ever if you were russia during the chip in chip don't forget vote you could steal the i. think that's really doing very well so i thought all trump and his portuguese counterpart not the only leaders who enjoy football these days but the russian president vladimir putin is quite literally closer to the action he's right now at the fifo world cup football park in red square from where you got a standoff now reports everybody has scored. and while this game behind me on the red square may not be brought to the rest of the world it is very very special first and foremost. right now though now that he's here on the paycheck back in the ninety's remember trying to change the gal and they stick with his photograph and

now he's here in a role of a coach but i mean you have some players here for example one of the goalies is legendary in kansas city from the world champion here. to the red square to defend the you post to defend the coasts just pulled one of the teams yet his former teammate at last we all know he's now it's time playing against up plenty more of your world cup action on your top headlines in about twenty five minutes on this channel hope see that. matter they have to see should he go to one of the four so he be in luck because. the bus was. just me my one telling me i was me and nothing. but the fantasy.

that. when i was a. dumb move to move to. the school i'm. only in the spirit in the reasons as you say but what musical. come of this from the.

winter with him and he that and there have been removed can you. hear me shall i. him and ash staff most in the. show camera. roughly once they showed some will pay you for the. future uncool videos during the world cup and someone with the broccoli string at. one string i don't roughly don't t.v. . backscatter this is the ca's report of what do you know my crystal ball of things are looking or it ends i agree what could this possibly mean let's check in with the ever knowledgeable stacy that kind of reminds me of paris where in paris oh it

is new so my old perry assume a little old set what does this mean we're in paris we are in the city of love the city of lights rekindling our love in our lives since we were in ireland we've been traveling and about you know portugal the south of france we were in monaco and a lot of things have happened in the last few days and including that the m.e. piece the members of their peon parliament they voted to approve the controversial article thirteen which critics warn could put an end to means remakes is another user generated content article levon requiring online platforms to pay publishers a fee if they link to their news content was also prove this has to go to a larger vote sometime in july but just say now that they're looking to destroy a means user generated content and even linking to contests well you know there's a fantastic series of videos on the web gold everything is

a remix and it makes the point that everything is derived from something goes back to the beginning of time the beginning of consciousness the beginning of humanity is our birthright to think and to use the thoughts that come before us to create build on to say no we're going to draw a line and twenty eighteen and everything henceforth is ours it's ours and everything for twenty eighty the beginning of humanity is not yours it's ours it's ours ok that is just pure unadulterated uncut greed it's a low but to me it's performing a labatt of me and humanity for the sake of corporate germany and it's disgusting and these people should be held accountable for this transgression of my human rights of course you need to have access to your own thoughts. of course the world cup has been going on and by the way i did see some sort of spanish speaking television presenter when mexico beat germany the that's my cousin. yes of course for me it's my technique that's now spread oh well you know everyone's into it you know i did learn something and if you.
