oh. are you going to. be. so many incredible photo opportunities and early on my colleague jacqueline video spoke to the co-founder of the photography project and go click which actually documents the full culture around the world including of course in russia. for russia we decided to do a bigger project looking at the real russia so we found a photographers from all over the country from. to you catherine involved a grad and we asked them to document the country through their own eyes head of the world cup where this particular collaboration what russian football story impressed

you the most i think it would be the euro mountains it was a very unusual set of photos which really reveals grassroots football and russian culture through through the game and the photos that we received from the euro mountains were fantastic really looking at how so for him to structure and so if you're a football infrastructure has developed into the twenty first century. a lot of the focus quite rightly in the lead up to the tournament is on the stadiums the infrastructure and the teams and the world cup itself what we want what we really want to do was tell those on told stories and really give russians a chance to give their own first person perspective there is there's one thing i would say particularly about what the russia projects has surprised me with and that is how similar russia is really to a lot of other countries i think there's

a perception maybe that russia is very different in some way to the rest of the world and particularly to europe i think one of the things that came through particularly was the divide between urban and rural town countryside a lot of the same stories that we hear from around the world. in europe in asia there is that difference between you know investment into football in in urban areas first is kind of the rest of the country we've also covered projects in iraqi kurd kurdistan and you and tackling alleged legacy of genocide. and so. what i think that all of these projects show in whatever country are in is that you really can understand people through football. i wouldn't say that there's a common cliche that football somehow unites everybody i mean i'm not saying that

for me actually shows the differences but it also. is a way of people understanding one another culture looks like how another people acts because when you tell it through the lens of football it's so much more relatable. about where the world news headlines after this very soap break do stay with us.

generally speaking mr trump's unilateralist notably the unilateralism which we saw with regards to iran which we also saw with regards to the paris agreement regarding climate change which we saw with regards to be american embassy in jerusalem all these unilateral decisions i challenge from my point of view the quality of our transatlantic relations. hello welcome back well as we mentioned earlier the funds are new moscow is currently close to to severe weather conditions but the rain isn't stopping

argentina fans from supporting their team so where are they going to watch the match correspondent on course may have the answer for is done such an action packed again with the atmosphere and where are you. well actually i'm in one of the biggest shopping malls in moscow it's called gusty needs water and the atmosphere here has been absolutely crazy fans or fans are going completely crazy over the game between france and argentina where at the beginning argentina was losing zero one but they turned it around dramatically and now they have two points to one against france and people are just at the edge of their nerves here streaming in everything so let's see what some people have to say about this so what. so what do you. what's happened. to turkey. is really larry very cool because there are original bands and this of course in there it's you with all their heart and they're like scream in

their national songs and they're so cool that everyone even russians are virgins you know because of their fans while oh. as you can see the atmosphere here is really crazy it's it's. french just scored another point now they're neck and neck france are. going to have to see what happens from here back to you nikki. thanks on the leave you to enjoy the game there that as we just saw the crowd went wild as francois equalize the score it's now a two to win the france argentina game which is proving to be possibly one of the most exciting games of the entire tournament so far we were. we'll keep you updated and of course that full time we will be going over to our special studio and our experts peter schmeichel and at neil harvey for analysis but until then let's bring you up to speed on the world headlines. now u.s. president donald trump has said he does not rule out recognizing crimea as russian

the province rejoined russia in two thousand and fourteen but is still considered internationally part of ukraine r.t. samir a card has more on the developments. on board air force one on friday trump spoke to reporters about his upcoming meeting with putin when a reporter asked him if he recognized crimea as part of russia he said quote we're going to have to see but then he blamed obama for the entire crimea debacle saying that it was a shame that obama gave up crimea now to remind the viewers of what happened in crimea back in twenty fourteen a referendum was held with international observers present and ninety seven percent of the population voted to secede from ukraine and join russia the west refuse to recognize this plebiscite and then impose sanctions on russia and then separate ones on crimea but just this week we also heard from another u.s. official john bolton who said that trump wouldn't recognize crimea as part of

russia so conflicting views coming from the trump administration which seems like basic protocol at this point but these statements come a few weeks before trump's summit with putin that's scheduled for july sixteenth in helsinki finland but this isn't the first time that trump has discussed relations with russia during the g. seven summit trump said that russia should be reinstated let's check out what he said i would rather see russia in the g. eight as opposed to the i would say that the g eight is a more meaningful group than the g seven absolutely trump also said that he'd be discussing a range of other issues with president putin including alleged election interference syria ukraine relations with china and russia to possibly deescalate the conflicts going on in the world but until july sixteenth we will know exactly what happened so we'll just have to wait until then. deep divisions along party lines on fears of

immigration are increasingly raising talk of a second civil war in the u.s. at least according to the findings of a new opinion poll credible. 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 and 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 gaiety even though she wants. to stay on the gas station. and even if you are you ok maxine 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 percent do you think said it was possible in the next five years. i would have to guess is that i let me let me go fifty eight percent sixty six six think it was possible when i was thirty or forty maybe thirty percent you're very

close thirty one percent what do you think they're getting at why would they think that you know that the such a possibility thirty one percent saying there could be a civil war maybe you because of the gun controls 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 and 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 lot of dissension among americans and a lot of fear. and then creates. this that kind of possibility and 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. human rights

activists have voiced concern of the creation of migrant processing camps the move decided upon by his on friday they face such facilities could effectively become detention centers and lead to human rights violations while europe's leaders are touting the new deal as a breakthrough in dealing with the migrant crisis that's paulus their report doubts still remain if this is a long term solution. having emerged after the nearly ten hour marathon summit e.u. leaders have been patting themselves on the back quite a lot for me this is a satisfying outcome it sends out a good message that we have eventually prepared to join text i'm optimistic that we can cooperate further i believe that the preparatory work of president and the federal chancellor merkel has now brought a real breakthrough. a more responsible and more supportive europe is emerging from this european council italy is not left alone in here. 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 locations are still to be decided and can only happen in countries who volunteer to have them 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 buy in the first

european country where they are right we are sticking to this rule and the volleys that those countries are responsible for migration centers france is not the country first arriving so almost over in some sense this is also notice in goes north we are not the first arrival country unless people jump with. in an apparent lifeline for the german chancellor angela merkel this non-binding agreement says that all governments must take measure. to stop migrants and refugees from crossing your internal borders now this is something that local desperately needs as she's facing a two week ultimatum from her coalition partner who is threatening to impose a new border regime against a 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 whatever approaches are different the next few days as you see 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 pervade migrants from coming to europe processing centers are 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 listed out helping the migrants and more about saving the hits of some european leaders policy r.t. . ok an update for you now on this crucial game between france and argentina the winner of the game of course is the only team that will go through to the quarter finals france have just taken the lead in the sixty fifth minute against argentina the score is now france three argentina two it's shaping up to be world war between argentina and france in this game we'll be back at the

top of the hour with an analysis from our expert in our world cup special coverage so do stay tuned for that.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics. i'm sure i'll see you then. the. current american administration is raising tariffs and revising old trade agreements when america sneezes can the rest of the world of valued contracting protectionist fever.

sweden deadly violence at the highest level since records began. we want to. move this country and we want the people who live here to go back to normal to all of you know what you mention in your book. swedish crime prevention agency refuses to go the informational immigrant background of criminals. total cost for this entire group of immigrants this pixy to our defense budget it's a disaster we just can't be a boss of some drug that she would need to know. so generate graces put focus on crime ahead of swedish election. rapes on boys has become a phenomenon thanks to the immigration from afghanistan so i started calling my

friends and i say let's let's do something now with will take back our streets. elevated risk of islamist is just how these operate freely and sweet. we think they call a nice living like this a big. chunk. of money. no no ok ok lots of self help stuff. here close changed. it is not the sweden i remember my kids too. sweden is considered one of the most refugee friendly countries in the world that's after taken in more solemn seekers per capita than anywhere else in europe.

that was two years ago when we visited the wild west theme park which in the off season became a refugee camp for five hundred people who had all gone through hell to get here. i'll be honest with you there were times when i said in my comfortable apartment in moscow when i was watching the news i would think yes you are past do something they need to they need to limit the number of refugees that they allow into their country because it's they are since some cases started to outnumber the local communities in certain villages certain cities but haven't met some of them the children especially. they deserve a chance. people and it's a help you know you can't just let. people stay where they are or let them be in the border. it's not easy to start again in

a new country but sweden has provided everything occurred in terms of housing and training to help refugees get back on their feet as soon as possible. even the living conditions look great refugees were struggling to adjust and couldn't wait to get their lives back on track i don't understand how even some people can still play in here you know they said that their time is the day the living conditions are said but some people still complain of why why why is that i think it's because they have been here like one of my it's cold this winter school has been stored really the real school for less children they don't know how to. go with us yet and here in the hardship everything is great the only thing here and that's not so good it's the supermarkets and everything you see outside and you said that you felt the same way when you arrived it was difficult for you to adjust but. i.

was being truthful. and you also said something you didn't even see where you are in the big city young i don't think i'm all for abuse like me. from a liberal from. you all the six me on here yeah well you tell us that you mightn't hear me. in the two years since then i've been getting calls to go back and show the other side the swedes who are angry about the number of newcomers settling in the country i once it's on the stand their points of view and why some call them racist or even a neo nazi is. still comb central station eleven pm the soldiers of odin are gathering for their weekly street patrol they get ready their leader is on his way to the airport to pick up the head of the maltese branch of

the group. last but. i think someone is a cigarette. or two. but. there's talk of reporting for us. the problem of doing an early patrol or something before we get back to. where we could go to the car. so there's a world that was founded in september two thousand and fifteen that was followed by . and originally the thought is protecting. our cities is taking care of our cultures we're getting hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants and unfortunately it's changing our way of life completely from school. to family.

members come here from different parts of the country and sometimes they even travel abroad to join other patrols in here they spend their own money to do this and often sleep in hostels or stay at each other's houses. we usually do it at least once or twice a week. where death is usually some sort of a you know. a lot of fights people. girls getting harassed and raped. mostly off there are they've been out to bars you know drinking. some say. that this is something that should be. by the. wife guys. i would say to say it's too bad but. but the authorities are paid by the government and the government is actually

getting the rabbit. when you say trouble. fortunately and you will pass. through are right. when i was a cultural but unfortunately. what does any good immigration influx most of them. are from. i would just. static. completely different from ours. they come here for a better life. they say but when they call where they live to save lives they had before. which is. not die for you still and if they do it on their own with no life. but one day. impose it on us it becomes

a problem and we were losing. when i was younger i used to play industry. that's my style do that. in swansea sixteen swedish police outlined fifty five so it's which even they have trouble rates and then now that figure has increased to sixty one they describe the most areas marred by crime social unrest and security ambulances and firefighters often get back up cars when they go there. suites say they experienced simulation and feel like outcasts when they find themselves in such neighborhoods. you know with the piece turn pro central station and we're going on the blueline infamous line because it leads to some of the world's worst ghettos of europe so we're going to stay rection and then during peace which is internationally infamous. you will see

a gradual decrease of swedish people from the metro when we finish i think you'll be we will probably be the only white people. might know of the sick and tired of what he sees as the government's inaction and leniency so he has now formed any political party called alternatives to sweden. they don't want to work most of these people they live on. generous benefits all swedish states and why on earth would you want to do and i defy work this weekend and if you get even more money when you live in the better. this is crazy has also been the central stop of all when it comes to traffic from youth immigrants came from primarily morocco and. to. so this is where a lot of the over the traffic originated flowing here when into. the partial stock

all of the police had to clean this area out of immigrants that were living in the metro tunnels several hundred of them. this is the exact place where a t.v. crew from australia was attacked while filming the reports about the area this is what happened. to this huge debate in sweden last month about the increased number of shootings that you have in these kind of areas not only stockholm but in gothenburg and no longer and it's been an explosion in the rate of shootings and you didn't find the one. either you find the weapons they come from i mean you don't have any border control in sweden. anyone can just drive in from the south and sweden from from

europe to the south as we know not just local and somewhat so how do you know that it's not swedish people who are well you see the people who are. there so many somalians living here that locals call this area little mogadishu and one person who knows this place very well as mana walters' she was born in somalia and fled to sweden this refugee in one thousand nine hundred four she converted to christianity and has made it her mission to expose what goes on behind closed doors here. i was talking about my experience and what i counted in the suburban in the mosque orders have been in there were some women who who complained about their has spent marry him in secret with other women. and when they complain the e-mail saying no you should not complain because our law allows our law means god allows a los to him to have a four waves if we have

a two other sisters and that this ok because we need to produce money children we need to three times more than the infidel in order to be montreal or to i want to with the swedish television city one day when they finally follow me there to drink it be and really saw what was happening one minute we walk and they ask me. and they come what do you know turkey and an old men one of them young people all killed are you foreigner you want to call in me and they say it's not stephen anymore here because that this what i try to tell this people when they have their own area that area belong to islam that is he a belong to them they call nice that you're with us this is not part of sweden they book my.
