july seventeenth twenty second so write your part business program interactive exhibition for us the details of possible forum dot com. after nine hours of intense deliberation e.u. leaders reach a non-binding agreement on the my good prices it includes setting up special immigration centers and speeding up the extradition process. a prominent us anti child abuse campaigner and nobel peace prize nominee has been arrested by the f.b.i. over allegations of paedophilia. and big group stage of the twenty eighteen world cup in russia is now over only sixteen teams remain in the race to be crowned world champions.

a very warm welcome you are watching r.t. international with me nicky aaron it's good to have you with us this hour now our top story a two day summit is in full swing in brussels after the first round of all night talks that leaders finally penned a deal on migration and same taffy with the agreement however the deal is non binding today it is the proper march. a lot of things have based on the interview is just going to go this is because they were trying to be. less discuss this further now artie's paulus joins me live paulo what's in that deal. well essentially what we've heard is that the european union leaders have agreed to a binding compromise over the whole migrant issue now the fact that it's non-binding is significant what this means is that african countries are not obliged to have refused the centers set up on their soil and at the same time those european countries who do not want to see more migrants coming in on not obliged to

do so so you have a country for example like hungary that has refused the entry of migrants it now has a legal basis on which to do that now some of the changes also include for example migrants not being allowed to choose where they abide at the same time migrant centers will be set up in european countries more support will be given to mediterranean countries that are also affected by the whole migrant crisis the relocation of migrants across the european union will be on a voluntary basis and then you have the dublin agreement that put the responsibility for caring for refugees on the country into which they entered a europe that now will be thoroughly revised and essentially what we're likely to see is rescue operations for example in the mediterranean being carried out by joint european forces and the responsibility not for soley on the shoulders of the italians now the french and german leaders put on a bright

a brave face and stressed the fact that this was a victory for european unity but the question of course is is it really when you consider that they've had to bow to the demands of both italy and other central european countries for example if you look at the voluntary relocation of migrants across europe it's now voluntary but it wasn't so long ago that the german chancellor angela merkel was quite strong on her position she had an unyielding stance and even suggested that those countries who refused to allow more in more migrants into their borders would not receive the same kind of e.u. funding as countries that have here to the. quota system so it certainly does seem as if she's changing track and the same for the french president micron who will more than a week ago had very harsh words for the new italian government for refusing to allow in migrants from the aquarius vessel so at this stage it certainly seems as if the italians have won this round at least we hearing the italian prime minister

hailing the outcome and at the same time the italians having made other members of the european union very much aware of their gripes the situation remains tense and we've heard from the european council president donald tusk that it is likely to maintain is going forward saying of course that the migrant issue remains a divisive issue for europe what remains to be seen is how exactly these new changes will be implemented on the ground and how they will actually manage and work moving forward. on his policy i thank you thanks for keeping across the situation for us as those talks continue today for now thank you well experts told is that despite a show of unity from european leaders member states are still bitterly split for america's. political troubles we don't know whether she got chancellor in the next weeks. so she she was obliged. to reach.

across not consistent i thought i mean he's keep saying that he wants our more. human europe but then he is the first of all blocs migrants. on the border to meet only the blocs for. does not accept your special french bought and this is something that really is shocking for the at the current . france lessons to us when they are not at all an example to follow the e.u. . made a show of unity but. show of unity became in e.u. and then in itself echoes or via so many crises that they want to to mask the fragmentation of the group but at the same time. this compromise when you look at the compromise it's quite too weak. to say it's

typical of e.u. . and be gritty east part of a compromise because he's so constructive on big ricci so everybody can agree but actually the problem is. the push to of a dates and of a try to gain time but if you look at what has been agreed everything is voluntary it means on their very own terry basis faeries no obligation to any decisions taken in this compromise. a prominent anti child abuse campaign has been arrested by the f.b.i. over allegations of pedophilia kenneth moping 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've 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's into children ages 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 a 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 edged against children even this is unfathomable as it is sickening and as this case demonstrates to enforcement keep its watchful eye on the

darkest corners of the internet to bring predators to justice davis is a long time outspoken advocate of human rights he had a organization with over five thousand people it was very well funded he gave regular media appearances in our 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 bodies are quickly becoming sites of violence where rape is used to terrorize and degrade to 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 he combined charity work with his studies he said he feels like he's lived. a double life those are words that would come back to haunt him. archie new york. france is trying to instill patriotism in its young the country's education

ministry has made learning the national anthem the musée is compulsory for primary school children peoples will be required to know the history of the national anthem and of the french flags creation they will need not just to learn the lyrics but also to sing the anthem at school the line share the french public the ninety percent are in favor of making children learn the musée if. they should know the stance and because it's the anthem of the french republic since seventeen ninety two so they in general school i don't know one missed the mark all of a sudden all 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 as a bit bloody the text is very violent. its own national anthem and so it makes

sense for all french people to know with us of course it's part of the french identity just like the flag the traditional french cuisine all in all it is the french culture we should know it while we just want to the most i think the most is somewhat aggressive song it doesn't really represent the values of freedom equality and brotherhood. i don't want. to hear. i don't. even. know you know it's a revolutionary song but quite brutal if you listen to the words. yes why not but the french republic is first of all i'm asking is most of them oh yes certainly when not to where europeans to play city movie 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. well we want to tour yes i know it but not as the european anthem did piaf sang it in french. and i don't know it for me neither do i and you do you know it. by learning to be french patriots children will also be reminded of the need to be cut europeans as they'll also be taught to recognize the european flag and the anthem the ode to joy. it's a national movement to have it we need to learn our previous we have to sing is

a must say yes' but the nasa has a need there is no need to know anything about the so-called european on scene you know that's probably is a mr mark or smith owed to give you something or lead but our viewers around it forces you to accept something else in your ear when you're not call friends is too small for him is a citizen of the world. a big fan of globalism it's a big mistake and it's a very old fish and i didn't. mean with time where it was shia in the united states in italia in slovenia in austria in sweden france now shown a national id is back when i was down to the last sixteen of the world cup for updates on the tournament after this short break to stay with us.

you know world of big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit 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 back and 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. remember three brags that it was all about the british my to bring back five hundred factories are going to export our way back into a g.t.t. rocket ship and take on the world cool britannia go brittania well it turns out they're all going to be picking fruit out there in kemah very shy or.

dot com. thank. god. thank you. thursday's final group games didn't have as much at stake as some of the previous ones it was more a matter of finding out who would play whom in the last sixteen well here's

a recap of what happened. what a spine angle into losing that final great gain that fans still have reason to celebrate as the team well way to place in the next round so support is doing to the revelry

with bad belgium rivals outside kaliningrad stadium in patrol joined the party belgium talked after he won their defeat over exit and just have a walk at what's happening outside the stadium. oh. oh they are playing with our second tier i mean if we can win today we need something to the language of the us they have friends who are speaking let me put it all together here you know the guys say the three live shirts are that same go with the guys from belgium i mean they will be. able to you guys. can enjoy. the very similar style of auto we play obviously a little called these guys of. course a very clearly believe all of those you see through the shirt. hello this is

it is no. oh you just. don't have a heart. right you know it's like there is one. thing if you wish jersey that i met earlier. really disappointed to you happy you're ok with it was english it's not going to look out so we can play colombia next and he's conflicted you're just not going to watch the game or what i what are you going to get my mom's in colombia right now what monstrous do so hard not family is going to be sending. you in. this is a making we would say i was not going away guys if you can find some sponsors to bring us back to moscow when we played a final police records i. want to tree for five

six. when any of my colleagues were received they discussed how the group stages went with the east only he's been covering the world cup for us from st petersburg . and that's my first time in the being in st petersburg already been to russia once before and that was two months ago when i came to cover actually another four story but i was only in moscow then so for the last two weeks i've been the same pizzas but it's just it's really short i have no idea just how cool it was how beautiful it was and. the past two weeks have been cool and well how kind of people have you been meeting there 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 sets of probably more right now and it was just great like the russian people getting involved in them also found some of the country so even though there's been

like a number of teams playing this includes the. 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 issues not like you should just. started by trying to hold out the nigeria keeps on all that. this fifty year old volkswagen beetle has been driven by mr noah and his friend from brazil that traveled for half a dozen south american countries before getting his ship over the ocean to come here and enjoy the world cup. let's go. there are so many other great players in the argentina squad you have to really perform today i'll bet you go. to

the. good. take you guys i hate. that. we can see you go to some of your friends there from from across the ocean right back gave you didn't see him going three zero at last so he could also. use a key to see a. million fans leaving the st peter's dug stadium very happy with that result they would have no question we cut the funding resolutely about it tell me this. that it could. be over say you know it is very hard for your to get over salt here just being getting absolutely mobbed out there by the fans 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 it was russia against egypt and it was a huge game of course because russia won and of course the host country going

through two. the last sixteen minutes the first time russia has been through to the knockout stages of the world cup since one thousand nine hundred six so the atmosphere 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 go i like football i go to games in england i haven't heard a noise like that you have a lot of. crazy and so you know it's just 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 it's because 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 you at the world cup so far you mentioned nigeria for example though senegal's been doing quite well any other teams yes really really upset

yesterday on a technicality they went out because they had the yellow cards japan did and they were really good especially in the first game that they played late really brighten up the atmosphere the supporters were fantastic i was also impressed with a rod i'm a bit biased by bombs or radio but they played really really well against portugal and spain and just lacked perhaps some quality to really go through so there were some good teams not the teams you all the big teams of actually struggled you know france just you know in their first game they struggled to be australia germany have gone out spain and portugal didn't have it easy brazil was sweating in a few of their games so it's yeah it's been good and it was really a. lot of surprise yesterday your thoughts so yesterday again you know colombia going through. such dramatic style day they were perhaps the least favored of the good teams in the group they started off in. the day and then again japan going through on the yellow card 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 belgium 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 seventies so england won they were down and they didn't have that much urgency to win the game and now they've got potentially a very easy run to the semifinals whereas the other side of the draw which belgium are in could could be because of the another 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 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 head to the metro to australia and 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. was 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 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 be 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 in the. and again the football on the pitch has been fantastic as well so all of these factors have come together 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 thought i was going to get stabbed killed beaten up and by the end of the conversation on what's out they were like you know i'm going to book a holiday to from so so you know there are lots of kind of intangible kind of benefits of come out of this too and listen i know you're a busy man before i let you go let's play a little bit of josie marino what are your predictions for the tournament who is going to win. i think i said at the beginning of the tournament front. i think the way england's draw sets up this is probably the best option if they've got four years of a young team no pressure so promising that my dog of course is croatia. colombia is one of the teams through to the last sixteen their fans have crossed the half crossed half the world to support their national side and some who might have

expected certain difficulties were left pleasantly surprised. but. instead of believing that people dismissed. the dean of the deal unless he was nervous. as i see it is that. the police police probably are.

you surprised at how the people the police. it. was just i was sweating so i did. that. oh yes i spoke to the bulgarian football legend. about his impressions of the tournament so far. so good i'm not a big fan of comparisons every world cup is special every team is special in four years a lot has happened at the last world cup in brazil spain arrived as champions but failed to reach the knockout stage today we see the current champions germany going home every day brings new surprises after that everyone thought it would take something extraordinary for colombia not to qualify they won but with difficulty brazil has not yet convinced me that they are

a competitive team in my opinion namei still in shock and hasn't shown himself to be the football player i know from barcelona and it's not visible big. cuttin you place better because of the injury he doubted whether he'd enter we see that james rodriguez has not yet recovered so there are many factors and in addition historically europe is for the europeans. will be back with the latest news headlines and thirty minutes to see them. visually taught is drastic to us it's taken care of our thought just as you could function most of them from a completely different because i would just. as static. the problem

is that we kind of stayed within that state they call it nicely it's not part of sweden. or like just the computer. tech stuff. no no but it's cops now stop stop stop stop the bullshit local book my culture is a christian country and we don't do things like that and we tell you if you do then we hate you and some day hopefully you can do something about the stuff. we cannot be naive about to not attract more gangsters rapists and these words actually that are tearing down this city we want to be a swedish country and we want a new look of the people who live here and now to go back.
