that. it's hard to be in tune find today it was nuts great world cup for them the only good game they played was nigeria the last. little run to run a message got on the school's feet in the. today they are doing time's a cry and i think if you see maradona somewhere. he will be crying he's been crying all the way through throughout these championships and yeah i don't think it's been very good for his health at least you know that emotional rollercoaster which the whole lows than than highs is can see and feel. and have you noticed that the pole is changed so that you cover. the ball that we

play that they played with in the face was had a black patch and today we've seen the. play of ball which by the way is completely identical to the other one it just has got different colors and so it's red patterns on it now so and maybe and we don't know this maybe the ball is different because we've got ten goals out of two games that is something well it's a good change that isn't like this change we've spoken about you know we're speculating but like you said they're in the thirty's now we may have seen the the end of the greats the two great players of the last decade certainly without messi but this is the circle of footballing life because we know the new prince of the game is a risen kilian in bombay and if you think he's potentially got another three world cups after this one he could be reigning supremest this isn't a flash in the pan this isn't speculation he has everything needed doesn't need to be at the very top of the game unbelievable player. he's nineteen years of age

we've known about him for a good eighteen months maybe even more to two years. is owned by monaco but he's on loan to p.s.t. a passenger man. as we talked about before it's a public secret that this deal is going to go through the summer and he's going to be the most expensive player in the world now what we saw today was was fantastic it was something that we've been longing for for a very very long time someone to come up with a performance someone who's promised something to was and hasn't quite delivered yet. and he did it kill in the pop it's a day to live in an unbelievable performance and we saw the first goal that we picked the ball out you know ten yards outside his own box and just made this incredible run where he showed everything that he has got in his log and showed great taking the incredible skills. extraordinary balance and then that pace the pace is just you know what i'm trying to think back to someone that i can sort of

like me into intensive pace with the ball it was just accelerating to watch and you know that ended up. in a penalty situation that friends garden greaseman score from that but then he went on to score two goals on his own out of the four so he was directly involved with three of the goals in the last sixteen games the big players usually step into the character and we've seen that today with the papa we've seen that with kabbani and it's beautiful to see and we can hope that puck is doing the same well the french players will have they gave a lot today to have one sixth ace to recover in time for that much on the six in july nice girl but it's not just the players saying who gave a lot the fans will be emotionally draining it's quite a ride seven goals twists and turns and it will take its toll on the fans take. very happy to answer right. much upset i can't even find my france not

mad and. i was. i thought i really want to be following the next the next ronald of wealth one of which i do but it was not possible to use or. misuse their best. interest played in the plan if it was amazing that we went on to one and i was scots wise i truly was precisely what the meeting like i mean it must look to all was murder. was there. a little longer to. be got two more games coming up so much so this game between europe and france will be played in misty knock out on and that's why i'm

going tomorrow i'm going with good reason you know just off gallivanting around the country you're going to be an ambassador on your daughter i'm going to be an ambassador for the denmark or a sick game for me of course that is the biggest game tomorrow i think for everybody else it's probably the one game that's being played here in moscow in the loos me and it is of course between the host nation russia and the preacher one of my favorites and the play quite like spain there's a lot of trouble in the spain swap before these two days before the world cup saw that they sacked the manager but that's all forgotten about now we have this incredible game tomorrow and that's another one for the pulitzers this is why russia's contribution to the competition is so big because when russia do well the atmosphere transcends to another level not even electric doesn't do it just a vacation so i know it's a big ask but if russia can get a result to my. this will be something very very special yeah that that will be an

incredible thing to do to win over spain and actually not one of the big big favorites out but you know what we're talking about football we've seen so many different things happening in the tournament so far and the one thing that really speaks to russia's advantage is that kind of playing at home they're playing in these niggas stadium we had the pleasure of actually watching denmark france play in that stadium that wasn't a great game but the stadium is great and the atmosphere that they create and the support that the russian supporters can give to the team it might might just be enough to sort of carry the team into a performance that could beat spain but it is a tough ask no doubt about that spain has been playing really well the only time you kind of question spain's a little bit was when they when they drew three three with portugal but that was because more than anything but christiana ronaldo really in that game wasn't all

from and scored all three goals in that three three draw so this should be a quite i really can't overstate this should be an incredible atmosphere i think eighty thousand will be packed into the let's make a for that match. because hell without speaking pouts curation are you happy to be here or you expecting and demanding as well and it's back to. argentina and all the other teams out you know it's. i'm very excited about them being here i think we and our place in the last sixteen i think we've shown a lot of quality. we haven't been able to score we have scored freely in eighteen months it's just not happened in the last two games before we came here and also we haven't scored really sort of on the chances that we created in the tournament here we need. christian eriksen of course to or to step up to to find the form that he's

had for so long he's a very important player for them and of course we need our strikers to stop putting the ball in the net if that happens tomorrow i think then might have a really good chance but the same goes for craig. they think they've played well but they get goals from their midfield players so if you can stop the midfield players from having shots and get in the box you can use a long way to go to stop croatia put it's going to be some contest and that's a lot of history between denmark and croatia and in terms of football good and bad both and so i'm excited i'm going i'm very very happy to be going oh. i'm going to be reporting on the russian spain they are you going to be speaking to the fans for that later game and then but you are going to be speaking on the line to us yes russia amazing it's it's it's going to be a very big day for for then modern for

a few somalis we have small countries like your guy three and a half million people there a small country in the quarterfinals. crazy denmark similar. it is a very big deal for our kind of countries if we can get to the quarterfinals so really big they well earlier we spoke to form a commission fee for legend steep a plenty cosa he shared his thoughts on the creation game and recall playing against denmark and peace michael in his first ever game face can you guys you've got a real history in terms of on the cage had a g. force meet. it was my first seguin my dear beautiful creation was one thousand years ago and it was against denmark and i guess one of my idols from view. a little one a funny story peter asked me to swap the sure and i was a little bit. felt like. sad because for months i.

and i have like one of the biggest titles to run of best goalkeeper some history ask me to change it and it was my first short i replay from my not conditional country and then and then we had a feeling this week change it and it's all right so you want to back it where you think you know. one of my first memories that was that was the it because we played we played the qualification that is as much as well but this was a friend really it wasn't sold so the pick because. when we qualify for the world cup twenty years ago in france and we were in the same group so we played croatia in the qualification yeah and winded up in a situation that was between creation and greece and we played greece in the last game and we needed a draw but only a draw and they would be all right actually we could lose and go into the playoffs but if we won croatia would go in the playoffs if they if they won that match and i made a save in the last minute from from from a great player to do that with my foot. so when we play this game and you get it

back to you line up and then you have the national anthems and and then it goes quiet in this because we like to thank our new national hero peter schmeichel for this write something hey could be a nice kindness you know. they presented me with a hand he. has a have yeah it was nice but a car would have been nice. and then it would have been would have been even better now i called you both legends because you're both representing faith your faith a legend part of this program you're going to be going out on to the pitch prior to kickoff for this playoff match tomorrow nation of god denmark croatia how do you feel representing your nation again this time but it's without being involved in the actual facts a bit different all role of course but i'm really proud that i have prato part of this program and i read it thankful for the fifa for taking care of x player songs on such

a good level and you speak to the crowd beforehand do you know what i'm going to say yeah i said that we will be in the game for sure. 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.d.p. rocket ship and take on the world cool britannia goldberg well turns out they're all going to be picking fruit out there in canada very shy. 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.

generally speaking of 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 the american embassy in jerusalem all these unilateral decisions i challenge from my point of view the quality of our transatlantic relations. welcome back to the news human rights activists have voiced concern over the creation of migrant processing camps i moved decided by e.u. leaders on friday activists fear such facilities could effectively become detention centers need to human rights violations while europe's leaders are touching the new deal as a breakthrough in dealing with the migrant crisis as artie's paula slayer reports

that story main 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 the joint tax i'm optimistic that becomes quite right but i believe that the thorough preparatory work of presidents and the federal chancellor merkel has now brought a real breakthrough. a more responsible and more support if you are 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 agreement 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 dissatisfied 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 but 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 that refugees have to buy 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 centers france is not the country's first arrival so almost hope in some senses is no use in trade goes north we are not the first arrival country unless people jump with birth was in an apparent lifeline for the german chancellor angela merkel this non-binding

agreement says that all governments must take measures. to stop the migrants and refugees from crossing europe's internal borders now this is something that merkel desperately needs as she's facing a two week ultimatum from her coalition partner who is threatening to impose a new border regime against her world analyst merkel finds an all europe solutions . if european solutions come up you choose we need to ask her if we agree on music whatever approaches are different the next fourteen days as you seem to find common grounds here's another key point of the so-called breakthrough deal european leaders have also better plans to tighten the blocks borders and provide more money to countries like turkey and morocco to provide 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. . with more news stories go to r.t. dot com otherwise i'll be back at the top of the hour with the headlines to you again. i. thank you.

join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics for this i'm sure i'll see you then. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic development only really exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be ultra rich eight point

six percent market thirty percent your mom with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first second and fifth cornrows to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember it's one one doesn't show you can't afford to miss the one and only. use. we're going underground on british armed forces day and in this special edition we're joined by pulitzer prize winning journalist hirsch who exposed nato nation war crimes all of the military industrial complex from abu ghraib prison in the

anglo-american war in iraq to the mean massacre hersh has exerted a damning skepticism of the official line did the syrian government really use chemical weapons what was the truth behind the asama bin laden assassination what connects nato name. dices di action al-qaeda and should we believe to resume about the poisoning of the script files in england his new book reporter memoir is out now thanks so much for going back and going underground why you rather than dick cheney there you were writing a book on dick cheney. it's a source issue i mean what happen is. obama in the balmy years there was he tightened very much on leaks and dissent in particular in the intelligence community put cia guy in jail there were people in the white house somebody was jailed also privately without public disclosure there was a sense that obama really didn't like leaks and so i had done

a book on cheney i've written a lot about changing it for the new yorker during you know after nine eleven and there was a story a book to write and when i began giving chapters to people involved they said the appropriate you know it's going to be published because they would get in trouble their professional intelligence people and military people the ones i deal with they take an oath of office to the to the constitution and not to any particular president so i just had to i just couldn't publish the book and put him in jeopardy it would put them in jeopardy would would make it almost impossible for me that the check about me is that. i don't give up people i mean people they don't go after my people they don't know who they are i put nothing in a computer i write all my interviews in longhand and so i just felt if i if i publish stuff over their opposition and they got prosecuted i would not sleep at night and be also not be able to do the kind of reporting i'm still doing if anyone reading this memoir about so much military action of one kind or another they

shouldn't be going to the fact that you said recently that we're in war with the united states is that war in seventy six countries now let alone the wars you're going to kill in this what i said was that there's seventy six places in the in the world where the americans are involved with kinetically with weapons and it based it was based on actually a public study done by an institute at brown university called the watson institute and i knowing some of the people involved in the study it's a lot of stuff that we have a big special forces community that are active particularly in africa and a lot of places i think the public knows very little about it i don't think this are my president is been briefed on any. but i don't think he would he's not interested in or you doesn't know about it i know there's concern about some people in the military and high up in the military in my government in washington what are these guys doing who's in control there's a lack of control in among the special forces they've just gotten and many of them

are driven. with the idea that they are on a crusade that they're there the night some ulta fighting the infidels in the fourteenth century a thirteenth century ice really crazy stuff and so i don't think when i hear military special operations command say about mali here's what happened four guys died how i'm sorry i i just think there's probably much more to this story i think there's much more to our presence there but it's very hard to get to that stuff lots of opportunities for reporters is we may be you thinking in any way that this memoir already being reviewed quite widely favorably and helps in defending you from some quite extraordinary ad homonym attacks on your recent reporting oh it's you know the only thing that happened in my recent reporting is. it was fine when bush and cheney when dick cheney and george bush were in charge but want to bomb i came in he was the not the white knight if you will or the black knight ok it's african-american and it just changed it editors just you know that's the way it is

the stories that would have been fine in the days of bush and cheney suddenly were you know not getting published and people were complaining that i am always on the complaining about anonymous sources as if every day the new york times you can't pick up the newspaper and find the lead story based on anonymous sources it's just part of our business you can't name people in particular the stuff i do know i you know when i first did the middle i story really master story in one nine hundred sixty nine the first thing i remember there was a poll from the i think the university of minnesota fifty four percent of the people didn't believe it and forty six and among my peers you know eighty percent didn't believe in. you might have to expand on the me a nice way because it's not on any british curriculum as stated i'm not sure in the united states you know how it is it's when i was growing up i born in one thousand thirty seven by the time i got into my twenty's and thirty's the world war one oh my god i don't think i knew about world war one his fields of poppies and hemingway

novels so it's not surprising to me that the generation doesn't know what happened the lies vietnam has disappeared in america pretty we know it wasn't a good war for us i'm sure there's still five pages of textbooks but there was a period when universities all had special courses on the war but that was twenty thirty years ago you and i were too old buddy we're all people i'm a much younger yeah but you know look i know great here but you must think that i don't believe me but if we go. mentioned it. the medium as it still resonates the name of the journalists maybe historians of vietnam you tell in this book the story of trying to find sources and witnesses just describe what you go into there and why i just got a tip about it and you know i covered it's not as if i came from nothing i've been a police reporter in chicago and let me tell you about being a police reporter in one thousand nine hundred sixty wanted to go to go it was you learned a couple things you learn all about the weakness as my first job was copied we're working for a news agency to cover crimes and police chases and so what i learned was you could

do anything you want as a reporter was great fun you're on the street you're reporting about fires and murders but if a cop kills a black person that's off the books you know you know no matter what your words not going to be taken and if if you ever get into the police relationship with the mafia in chicago you know this is sam giancana though some of those names some of you people know the famous mafioso as you could you could you can see fight some guy in the street with fourteen bullets in a downtown area where there's clubs controlled by the mob and everybody would be reported as an automobile accident and so i learned right away that there was tyranny in the. world that there were things you could do there was self censorship too and stop shooting i had a great time i learned a lot about i covered fires i learned more about racism that i thought i would but i also knew there were there was as i say tyranny there were certain things you could not get the chicago police department was operating in the world on its own things have changed a lot since then but what

a lesson that was in sixty sixty one i went in the army i worked for united press international i covered the legislature in peter south dakota town of ten thousand i was a chicago kid never lived in a small city i then worked in chicago and i was sent to washington covered the war from the pentagon learned to hate the war but the point i'm making is by the time i got to the meat life story had been in the business eight or nine years and so when i got a tip about somebody shooting up a village you've got to read before you write so i used to i was not about watching reading the new york times coverage of the war and then i read the french the french journalist and bernard fall there was a couple wonderful french journalists who wrote about the fall of france in d.m.v. in food one hundred fifty four and so i read a lot and so i and there was the bertrand russell tribunals was very important although everybody in america said russel's he hates america he's ninety four it was an incredible document there was testimony from american soldiers about shooting of villages like crazy fifty sixty five very early so when i got

a tip about me i just whatever else i was doing and i thought i could do it but i thought i would heard that some g.i. went crazy and shot up seventy five people and that sounded like something that could happen what they did in the war early on is we were going to villages american units a company would go in on a raid find nobody there and we the way it worked as we always thought the viet cong our enemy the north through the maze they were farmers by day and guerrillas at night so we go early in the morning and catch him in bed after a night of being a gorilla i don't know what the craziness was movement in children so after enough of those raids you would get frustrated and sometimes the officers were. say ok guys i know you're all angry everybody could have a mad moment in this village the tank gunner with his missiles and the machine gun as you can shoot the villagers up so that was quick to let the guys get off if you will they so be happy so they should have villages and that's what i thought they were talking about and then i got into the story and at the same time as i'm

writing about the fact these people killed five hundred sixty seven people something like that and innocent people there was no company to win in the war for about three months the kids did nothing about the vietnam war the culture and they were proportionally more hispanics and blacks then in the population and poor farm kids really white kids. are the secretary defense of lowered the standard by sixty seven and sixty eight he wanted no more there was a draft that presumably would take very edge well educated middle class white people he didn't want them in the war because they would come home and talk and be articulate about it and the senator who ran against lyndon johnson eugene mccarthy used to talk recently about maybe mcnamara wanted to change the color of the corpses but in this village they were brief this this company that hadn't seen the enemy they had been sniped at and they'd fallen into pits with sticks pool of poison they'd lost about twenty or thirty people have their hundred and they want

to pay back and they were told by the cia official a contract employ bad intelligence some are going to go into a village and are going to see the enemy there so they got ready to go to their credit to kill or be killed for america right they had seen no combat really and they fly in and there's nothing there woman making five hundred fifty sixty men women no one no men old man woman children and they began to round them up and executed what i could write about the they did things like throwing up babies and catching them alive on their nets i mean and raping like crazy i didn't. so much trouble with that story because i didn't know what i was getting into when i. started it and the horror and shame i felt for my country and for my soldiers i've been in the army i did the army i was it was a piece of everything idea that the guys i serve to do this kind of stuff so in a way the kids who did it was mostly the white kids hispanics and the african-americans no way.
