the divisions in the u.s. society could be more dangerous than thought with a recent poll finding that nearly a third of americans believe a civil war is possible. even president donald trump refuses to rule out recognizing crimea as part of russia has a moment with blood in their blood. and the world cup in russia enters the knockout stage with sixteen teams still in it to win it first of buying for a place in the quarter finals are france and argentina. very warm welcome to the program from the whole crew here at our teenage q. and moscow thanks for tuning in this hour. deep divisions along party lines and

fears over immigration have raised concerns for the ultimate fate of america almost a third of americans polled said they thought a second civil war was possible kill them up and picks up the story. pretty hard to believe sounds almost like click or internet sensationalism but it turns out that a number of americans actually do believe that civil war is a possibility furthermore the same poll indicated that roughly sixty percent of americans believe that backlash to donald trump's policies could turn violent the debate surrounding trump's immigration policies and the media fuming over it the gun control debate and the white house in the intelligence community not getting along that has been quite explosive it times a member of the u.s. congress recently raised eyebrows when he compared the current atmosphere to the lead up to the u.s. civil war the way he put it the usa could be headed toward fort sumpter that was the symbolic attack by slave states the session as it launched the war back in

eight hundred sixty one there's even now talk of twenty four seventh's security for members of the trumpet ministration congresswoman maxine waters makes no bones about the fact that she's ready to take the fight against donald trump waybe on capitol hill and the voting booth in the diety. to run. the state. should you. even you. know that scene waters herself has now been flooded with a number of threats and actually canceled several speaking events so let's see how people on the streets of new york feel about the rising polarization of american society what do you think they're getting at why would they think that you know this that the such a possibility thirty one percent saying there could be a civil war maybe you because of the gun control maybe because. i mean the racial we're having a lot of problems right now with the president with foreign policy with the

immigrant children just too much going on all at the same time and a lot of people are scared and a lot of people are anxious to learn. dissension among the americans and a lot of fear. and then creates. that cone of possibility after donald trump won the highly divisive twenty sixteen presidential election he called for unity of the american people but now opposition to the president has become so uncivil that it's actually stoking fears of a new civil war. r t new york. two palestinians have been killed in protests at the israel gaza border on friday that's according to palestinian officials a teenager is said to be at one of the dead the end to occupation rallies have been ongoing since late march.

to. respect. your injury after injury and as you see sense the beginning of the beginning of the protests today the fourteenth week of the great march of return at least twenty palestinians have been injured by live ammunition and tear gas canisters the israeli forces continue to use the lethal force against the policy in protesters palestinians have been protesting for more than fourteen weeks demanding demanding the right of return demanding the right of shifting the locate that has been imposed on the gaza strip by israel since the beginning of the protest says the beginning of the great march of return one hundred thirty one palestinians have been killed and more than fourteen thousand palestinians have been injured including fifty four palestinians who got limbs amputated from the upper and lower body where the israeli forces have been using explosive bullets that have been fracture and fractured completely

fractured bones and tissues and causing long lasting disability i'm now standing approximately two hundred meters away only from the fence and it's very clear that the israeli soldiers are have really stationed the protests continue palestinians continue to protest and it's very clear that they have a message to the world that they won't give up on their land they won't give up on jerusalem and they won't give up on trying to stick liberation. israel says its soldiers are acting purely in self-defense tel aviv considers the palestinian based organization hamas a terrorist and says the group uses protesters to breach the border. egypt has made it clear it's not going to host any migrant centers or disembarkment part forms whose creation were proposed at friday's e.u. summit the deal on tackling the migrant crisis struck by the european leaders may look good on paper but as pulsar explains it's anything but

a silver bullet. having emerged after the nearly ten hour marathon summit era leaders have been patting themselves on the back quite a lot for me this is a satisfying outcome europe has made a decision even though it took time to do so not in terms of but after an intense discussion and which we believe is a challenging subject for the european union it sends out a good message that we have eventually prepared the door in texas i'm optimistic that we can coordinate through the. i believe that the thorough preparatory work of president and the federal chancellor merkel has now brought a real breakthrough for. a more responsible and more supportive europe is emerging from this european council italy is not left alone any more. but in reality the deal getting all this praise is a carefully but vaguely worded one just like so many other agreements struck by the bloc in the past but this one manages to satisfy a diverse range of views so just exactly how was it reached one challenge was to

satisfy it to be who on thursday blocked all joint decisions prior to the summit in an effort to appease tensions the member states decided to stay and rescued migrants on a new territory to so-called control centers across the bloc bash and this was only to appease central european countries like the czech republic and hungary those are cations are still to be decided and can only happen in countries who volunteer to have them all the measures in the context of this control centers include relocation and resettlement will be on a voluntary basis not surprising they're not many volunteers many leaders again pushed for responsibility to fall on first arrival countries who already have enough migrants same tis all sides under the dublin regulation refugees have to apply in the first european country where they are right we are sticking to this rule and the fall is that those countries responsible for migration census fronts

is not the country. first arrival so most open source senses notice ukraine goes north we are not the first arrival country unless people jump. in an apparent lifeline for the german chancellor angela merkel this non-binding agreement says that all governments must take measures to stop migrants and refugees from crossing internal borders now this is something that mccall desperately needs as she's facing a two week ultimatum from her coalition partner who is threatening to impose a new border regime against whole world and list medical finds and all europe solutions. if european solution cannot be achieved we need to act on our own we agree on the objectives whatever approaches are different in the next fourteen days to see whether we can find common ground here's another key point of the so-called breakthrough deal european leaders have also better plans to tighten the clocks

borders and provide more money to countries like turkey and morocco to provide migrants from coming to europe posting same tis also being set up in countries like egypt libya niger algeria and others but these are the kind of things that have been happening since two thousand and fifteen and they haven't managed to solve the migrant crisis so perhaps these new or not so new measures are less about helping the migrants and more about saving the hits of some european leaders policy r t. it's now days seventeen of the world cup in russia and the tournament moves into a new phase the knockout stage only sixteen teams are left and the real dramas about to begin with every game resulting in elimination will be two games a day on saturday first up france take on argentina and cousin and later on porch will meet your boy in sochi the winners of each match will go through to the

quarterfinals. and all the teams have been training the fans have been out showing their support our team has been compiling the best fan videos as part of its all mine fails i view project here's a quick preview the rest are at our to you doctor. oh . yes i am going to let. you. think it was. was.

that. the first knockout game has all the makings of a blockbuster as we mentioned earlier it's with two heavyweights france and argentina clashing in cars on i would say other shift gears in the city for us. because that is bouncing ahead of the big game agin against france so this is the hotel where the argentinian team will stay lots of people are here to greet their heroes particularly leo messi but this hotel has a very funny thing going on. so

this is what leo messi will be seeing out of his hotel room it's the hotels that you're right here so there's a mural on the wall but if you think that ends here follow me. so we go around the corner literally around the corner and there's another mural that is messy archrival shot of an elbow and not only that but look i scored four goals can you beat that leo that's some way to inspire motivation with his biggest isolation. what are you expecting over the weekend. if you go again if france has a good team it's only been in how argentina wake up to that day that's my opinion ok so let's just go prediction. well he said if i go i buy them i know how about zero one zero you so different to. mine is because it is sure one two

one two one ok so most is probably going to score one for the last. good hour that's a good mission the. problem and who's going to score it. well i've heard these guys have you obviously. have to say the french in decent numbers and goes on but have been somewhat quiet on the argentinians what is the mood like. among the liberal let's find out. we expected victoria friends but. one zero i think it's a draw and i think i know she's here and there. are quite tired so i hope i hope we can we can put them in difficulty and win the match i take the top ten but i expect france we were close. to one.
