as we go. to liberation e.u. leaders have reached an agreement on the crisis including. speeding up the extradition process. a prominent us. nobel peace prize nominee has been arrested by the f.b.i. on allegations of. making it compulsory for primary school children to learn the country's national anthem. to join. the group stage of the twenty eight hundred. sixteen teams remain in the race for the world cup.

this is. a very warm welcome to you. e.u. countries have now reached a much awaited compromise on tackling the migrant crisis and the pressure from. central european countries europe's powerhouse as many have agreed to tougher regulations. breaking down the meetings outcomes. well after a night of long and terse discussions european leaders reached a compromise agreement but the fact of the matter is that there are some major changes that are now going to be implemented these include amongst others that migrants can no longer choose in which country they will live they will also be

migrant centers that will be established in non european countries in this respect more support will be given to mediterranean countries that are also affected by the whole migrant crisis now the relocation of migrants across the european union will be done on a voluntary basis and at the same time the dublin agreement will be thoroughly reformed this is an agreement that places the response ability on the country in which the migrants arrived in europe it places the responsibility on that country and as i say this will be performed so that what will happen is that you will have joint european forces risk use in the mediterranean sea for example and the responsibility of this will not fall as it has done in the past almost soley on the italian forces now the european powerhouses particularly france and germany are trying to present this as a victory for european unity the french president as well as the german chancellor are pushing for this but what they fail to acknowledge is that they really have had to bow to pressure from italy and other central european countries you need to just

look for example at the voluntary relocation of migrants it wasn't so long ago that the german chancellor angela merkel presented an unyielding stance on that suggesting that those countries who refused to take in new migrants would not receive the same kind of funding as those who adhere to the quota system and there was just over a week ago that we heard the french president micron lashing out at italy's new government for refusing to take in migrants from the aquarius vessel the reality is that europe is not going through a migrant crisis like it was in twenty fifteen this is not true those who say these are not telling the truth but even the. italy doesn't have the same migron pressure like it had last year. for now it certainly seems as if italy has won forcing other countries to take into consideration its gripes the italian prime minister has hailed the outcome so i would say that overall we can the rule is not

a swipe it was a long negotiation from today is no longer. well on thursday italy effectively blocked a statement and issued an ultimatum to brussels the situation was extremely tense with the european council president donald tusk warning that there was further division in store for you up what of course remains to be seen is how these new changes will be implemented on the ground and how in fact they are ultimately will pan out. let's discuss this further now let's join laura ferraro a member of the european parliament from italy's five star movement great to see you today thanks for joining us here on r t is it is it a success for italy perhaps the result of this e.u. summit because ultimately italy finally got other european nations to take its concerns into consideration. yes the rest of the morning everybody. is a good result because we were perfectly aware that it was not easy to. work

that i am very hard you can see asia and the result for sure is a compromise that. isn't moving compromise for us because for the first time in iraq and document that's part. of the member states of the european union have to take their responsibilities in the management of meat river glasses and in the operation are search and rescue so perhaps this is important because in the thousand and fourteen. it was written that only the. responsibility in rishon up this is a chance and according to international law. groups that. country was always easily the least. family guardians the responsibilities that was only where. on. now

for the first time is that of that and that's something that happened corporator and also in the. law or i'm sorry i'm going to do you truly expect all the european neighborhood to actually sincerely cooperate on the migrant issue obviously there have been some countries that have had an open door policy other countries hungary for example saying we don't want to have an open door do you truly see the e.u. neighborhood coming together and working together on the migrant issue. we have to distinguish between their families and the men during. the year then. there's the operating and. protects countries such as hungary or. for that mean it's a rain you know what the situation is the friend. is important and every country

will parade because otherwise we have always the problem of personal every movement and also for that problem that was one of the. france. it's important to want to have for apple gratian in the operational search and rescue and that you're going up this entire region otherwise there are other. countries so. it's important for there to. corp who. are there to be some damage to laura if i can jump in quickly of course such a little time to talk to you about such an important issue now among the measures that the e.u. leaders have agreed upon for example is the creation of migrant centers outside of europe in fact migrant centers in north africa is it viable is it realistic to think that north african states would suddenly create and host such facilities. i

don't know i don't know if it is realistic to do that in the north africa professor talk about this. region are you know european countries or in thoroughfare there are now under you can least of save the countries still i think that is important that we have reached in a taxi now you repeat that now as we start talking about this region our platforms many by a u n h s u r and i u m because it's important to give the go after continue to. reach europe are in a safe and we don't we. know mary very short and this was one of those call our off beat only but i think that it's better to talk about this regard. to how do i know their cancer. back and countries and not the not fair again counties.

mostly people that are lower for a member of the european parliament from italy's five star movement congratulations on the result of the summit and we all wish you the best of luck thank you. a prominent unteach of the views campaign a nobel peace prize nominee has been arrested by the f.b.i. about allegations of you know fairly correspondent caleb maupin reports twenty two year old joel davis is outspoken in his activism against sexual violence that's what makes his recent arrest so disturbing joel davis has been arrested and it's alleged that he attempted to engage a minor in sexual activity and he's been distributing child pornography now beyond the basic charges the actual details of the case are pretty disturbing the f.b.i. picked up davis in a sting operation now they revealed some of the text messages he exchanged with undercover agents what's about to follow is rather disturbing but it's actually not

the most disturbing part of the correspondence during the course of the text conversations davis stated that he is into children aged zero plus and has no limits davis told him because the offices that he previously had sexual experiences with a nine month old boy a six year old go and the seven year old boy now according to the f.b.i. davis actually asked the undercover agents to send him explicit videos and photographs of children the department of justice says they are appalled by the case conduct and they just again still davis is unfathomable as it is sickening and as this case demonstrates to enforce and keep its watchful eye on the darkest corners of the internet to bring predators to justice davis is for a long time been a very outspoken opponent of sexual violence and an advocate of human rights for two years he had a special position at the united nations he gave regular media appearances and his organization had over five thousand members and was very well funded around the world in order acted and respected in peacetime then you're not going to be able to

protect them or respect them in conflict like you need to when you do need the rule of law and so many conflicts across the globe children's book. it is a quickly becoming sites of violence where rape is used to terrorize and degrade entire communities now davis went on to actually give a ted talk on the subject of expertise that it was two months ago and the video is now unavailable when he was giving an interview to n.b.c. about how you combine charity work with his studies he said he feels like he's living a double life those are words that would come back to haunt him able to mop up our t. new york. province is trying to instill patriotism in its young at the country's education ministry has made learning the national anthem the march so here is compulsory for primary school children pupils will be required to know the history of the national anthem and the french flags creation they will need not just to learn the lyrics but also to sing the anthem at school the lion's share of

the french public some ninety percent are in favor of making children learn the must say yes. yes they should know this answer because it's the anthem of the french republic since seventy nine so they in general learned at school i don't know why mr martin . children should know it improves children should know it and it's school they can learn not somewhere else. i think it's always good to learn songs by heart as a child but personally i find the must see is a bit bloody the text is very violent to its own national anthem it so it makes sense for all french people to know it yes of course it's part of the french identity just like the flag the traditional french we see all in all it is the french culture we should know it more we just want to the most i think the most is

a somewhat aggressive song it doesn't really represent the values of freedom equality my brother did. i don't know. i don't. even. know you know it's a revolutionary song that's quite brutal listen to the words. yes why not but the french republic is first of all not yes. yes certainly why not here europeans to a place after this cultural opening towards europe well it's a different thing a different issue because europe it was constructed well france existed for centuries and europe is a much more recent development. the lowdown as well we want to join yes i know it but not as the european anthem did piaf sang it in

french. i don't know it. was neither do i and you do you know it. well i while they are learning to be french patriots children will also be reminded of the need to be good european is that also be taught to recognize the european flag and anthem for owed to enjoy her. or the national movement to have it we appear to announce that our previous we'll have to sing is a master yes that's an aussie has a knee so he's no need to know anything about the so-called european and c.v. you know that's probably not force me. to give you something or lead but i was always around forces you to accept something as you know it when you're not call

friends is too small for you is a citizen of the world he's a. big fan of globalism it's a big mistake and it's a very old fish and i mean i don't really time where. the united states italia and slovenia. should influence the sort of you know now shown and the sure knowledge that id is back well we are down to the last sixteen of the world cup will give us the update about twenty one after the break. you know world a big part of the. conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever. we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath shouting past each

other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. make this manufactured consent to public will. when the ruling class is protect themselves. in the final. we can all middle of the room.

all right let's get into it here on the group stage all the world cup is over only sixteen teams now remain in the race to be crowned the champions the first knockout games we played on saturday. and france clash and then it's portugal versus uruguay instruction now the losers of each match will be out of the tournament the winners through to the quarter final. some teams and their fans have of course already packed their bags but not before capturing their experience of the tournament in photos and videos from all across this vast country has been compiling the best of these the fans i view project it's waiting for you right now at odds he taught. i.

i. i i i i. was. i. was just a bit earlier i was joined here in the studio by our london correspondent who's been covering the world cup for us from st petersburg at the peter paul city on the river yes that's my first time ever being in st petersburg already been to russia once before and it was two months ago when i came to cover actually another four story when austin c.s.k. in the europa league i followed the group lost and found the trouble it was just off to. the diplomatic fallout between the u.k.

and russia not many industries. and so i followed that but i was only in moscow and so for the last two weeks i've been to some pizzas but it's just it's really shocking i have no idea just how cool a city it was how beautiful it was and. the past two weeks have been cool in the well how kind of people have you been meeting that i mean obviously you've got your football fans but it's a huge mix of internationals that have descended upon some petersburg yes so the first two teams to play there were iran and morocco and there were huge numbers of both sets of fans probably more right and it was just great like the russian people getting involved and they were also found some of the country so even though there's been nothing number of teams playing this. i've seen mexican fans who haven't played and a rule i would say like it's just been so much fun and actually i think we can even see like some of the probably the highlights of the last two weeks i've had. no such issue. it's kind of.

this fifty year old volkswagen beetle has been driven by mr and his friend col from brazil that shovel for half a dozen south american countries before getting his shit out of the ocean to come here and enjoy the world cup. let's go. there were so many other great players in the old into the schools you have to really perform today i'll bet you go out. take you guys. good. to see you go somebody somebody because of your friends that from a political solution. would.

you say you see. they are. the same pieces such a very happy was all they would think the customer cut the funding urgently but it. was always it was very also sort of the result here just being getting absolutely mobbed by the fads and simply it is but the world cup the energy has been absolutely amazing now ok on the serious side there the games you've covered what are some of the games you saw so in some places but in addition to the game it was russia against egypt and it was a huge game. course because russia wyman of course the host country going through to the last sixteen in the first time russia have been through to the knockout stages of the world cup since one thousand nine hundred six so yeah misfit was amazing overwhelmingly russian crowd. the other game there's brazil costa rica but

also argentina nigeria and nigerians were five minutes away from going through and when argentina scored the noise in the stadium i've got i like football i go to games in england i haven't heard a noise like that you have a lot of time because it's right it was crazy and so you know it's just for what's been striking about the walk the football has been really good there's been one goal of straw in all of these opening games which is like i'm heard of it's just great but it we've also had a good amount of drama and scandals as well germany who would have thought germany knocked out i mean i was absolutely shocked by that what about the teams that have really impressed at the world cup so far you mentioned by geria for example though senegal's been doing quite well any other teams yes it was really really upset yesterday on a technicality they went out because they had the yellow cards japanned they were really good especially in the first game that they played and they really brightened up the atmosphere the supporters a fantastic i was also impressed with a rather biased by bombs or radio but they played really really well against

portugal and spain and just about some quality to really go through have been fantastic the way they be argentina they were really dominant. so there are some good teams on the team all the big teams have actually struggled because you know france just you know the first game we struggle to australia for germany have gone out in portugal didn't have it easy brazil was sweating in a few of their games so it's yeah it's been good it's been really enjoying a lot of surprises yesterday's games your thoughts so yesterday again you know colombia going through. such dramatic style they they were perhaps the least favored of the teams in the group they started off. in the. again japan going through on yellow cards it just shows like the margins have been so thin in some of these some of these groups and of course in the game yesterday as well that's been interesting so in the belgian had qualified and it was interesting because almost. wanted to lose because that meant in

a sense they had an easier run that's right the semi's so england won they were down and they didn't look like they had that much urgency to win the game and now they've got potentially a very easy run to the semifinals where is the other side of the draw which belgium or it could be because of what about what about the people you're meeting there simply describe because you know we were talking a few moments ago just outside of the studio and i live here in moscow and so i get on the metro every day absolutely crammed with with football fans and i've been speaking to some people from australia and other parts of the world who have had a really surprising experience if i had to in the metro to australian say to me we are embarrassed we are embarrassed to be here and enjoy this football world cup so much after being so convinced by the media that we are actually going to come and find trouble what was your experience i think there were a lot of people who probably felt the same way. and what i've also found interesting is that russia. have an interesting conversation with a russian yesterday actually he said that we have a big club football culture but as far as international football goes and

supporting russia as a country we don't. have a great international team we're not really a big international football country but the way they've embraced the tournament the local people has been amazing i think it's good for russia i think it's opened russia up to so many new people and cultures and ideas and those people coming to russia it's opened them up to i think outside of russia we don't see in the west and again i myself you know. i mean working for r.t. for four years i have no preconceived bias about russia which has been shaped by the media environment in in the u.k. so when i come here as well it's been a huge shock and many people have repeated the same thing they didn't expect it to be so organized they didn't expect everything to. b. i want to be so friendly and i think that's been key and also we've been lucky the weather's been fantastic as well so it's these little things that all come together and again the football on the pitch has been fantastic as well so all of these factors have come together and i think there's going to be a lot of fans who are going home happy and probably telling their family members

there was one guy who told me my family or i was going to get stabbed killed beaten up and by the end of the conversation or what's up they were like you know i'm going to book a holiday to come so you know there are lots of kind of intangible kind of benefits are come out of this town and yeah definitely i mean it has been a good p.r. campaign for russia but you know thank goodness for that ultimately because of all this and the rush of this and put in that and then you finally realize that this is the beautiful game that unites people from every part of the globe listen i know you're a busy man before i let you go let's play a little bit of george zimmerman you know what are your predictions for the tournament who is going to win. i think i said at the beginning of the tournament front and i think the way england's draw sets up this is probably the best option if they've got four years of four young team no pressure so promising then my dog of course is croatia. so today there is a pause in the competition the calm before the storm of the knockout phase however that's no reason for the football to stop as peter oliver explains.

so we're here in vision you know good old lovely stadium just outside of the center of the city you can see behind me the england team being conversation right now sorting out their tactics over to mind right the team move russian english football sporting fund every sleeve there was some tensions between russian and english fans following the scenes we saw a ma say this is a bury the hatchet type of game i will be looking to see football be the winner here. well i'm glad i'm not playing because the hate is just ridiculous. the long. term but not when the lads just come off the ball their whole

store was an experience for a so-called but it's good to know that when the ball's going out. of respect for the right for us to get back in form i shouldn't she gets to go on with. her silky skills from the england fans there just after the break. still to live in fairly. well to really well turn out the three women win thing when. rates move guys great to meet all the local lads hates me other ringing fans absolutely enormous and yeah totally absolute nonsense there's going to be trouble where there's going to be this this weird atmosphere like you are the i must say only walls i was in most saying it was pretty terrific will be sold there but you

would be in here for a week and would not see anything along. got close to a company cold shoulder very very very friendly been nothing but welcoming we met russian friends we've met found sweeping countries the fun is always it's been a really really good site it's been open source but now we've got one of the should play is over here it was like play with the english lads oh it's a really fantastic good game. i think he'd certainly cool. i'm really tired but it's fantastic this is how it's looked to a mission you know good old it's a fun tough stick you know it's a cliche thing to say a festival of football but it really really is it's been brilliant to watch i'm so glad i didn't have to play in meth crippling he south there from the good for our sake. and it's been a pleasure having you with us on this friday thanks for joining us on odds he my colleague nicky air and his soon to bring you the latest world headlines and action .
