i know nic well but he's on loan to pierce the passenger man. as we talked about before it's a public secret that this deal is going to go through the summer and it'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 killian the pop it's a day to live at an unbelievable performance and we saw the first school that we pick the ball out of 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 pennant the situation that front garden response was from that but then he went on to school to goes on to go on out of the full show he was directly involved with three of the colts 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 six taste 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 fountains will be emotionally draining it's quite a ride seven goals twists and turns and it will take its toll on the fans to. very happy to answer my job so i changed my. life outside.

ah ah ah. ah ah i'm tired i really want to be following the next next rollo the twelfth one in which i do but it was not possible to use or . misuse their best. interest in the plan if it was amazing that we were down to one and i was scots wise i tell you a story precisely it was amazing i mean it was books of all. their own front to a little european who. came between europe and france will be played in misty knock out on one game that's being played here in moscow in the loos miki and it is of course between the host nation russia and the preacher ornament favorites

and the play quite like spain there's a lot of trouble in the spain swap before the two days before the a world cup saw that they sacked the manager but that's all forgotten about now we have this incredible game for the features this is why russia's contribution to the competition is so big because when russia do well the atmosphere transcends to another level that would be an incredible thing to do to win over spain and actually knock one of the big big favorites out from 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 that playing in the news new stadium we had the pleasure of actually watching 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. fun 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 were in the two three three with portugal but that was because more than anything but christiana ronaldo really in that game wasn't so form and scored all three goals in that three three draw so this should be quite i really can't overstate this should be an incredible atmosphere i think eighty thousand will be packed into the list looking for that match. because hell without speaking pouts to a ship are you happy to be here or you were expecting and demanding as well and it's back to. argentina and all the other teams that you know it's. i'm very excited about them being here i think we end our place in the last sixteen i think we 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 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 but the same goes for creation. if 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 in terms of football good and bad both so i'm excited i'm going i'm very very happy to be gone. i'm going to be reporting on the. russia spain they are you going to be speaking to the fans for

that like ok and then but you are going to be speaking on the line to us yes for russia i'm a there and it's it's it's going to be a very big day for for for then modern phrases we have small countries like a year ago i three and a half million people there a small country in the quarter finals. cray said denmark similar. it is a very big deal for our kind of countries if we can get to the quarter finals so really big day when earlier we spoke to former question people people agency play plenty close a shared his thoughts on the creation and recall playing against denmark and peace michael and his first ever game face and you guys got a real history in terms of on the cage how did you first meet. it was my first said game i did beautiful creation was one thousand years ago and it was against denmark and against one of my idols from view. a little one

a funny story peter asked me to swap the sure and i was you know a little bit. felt like. sad because for months side i have like one of the biggest titles one of best goalkeepers in the history asked me to change and it was my first show if i ever played for my next national country and then and then with hard feelings we changed it and it's as well so you want to back out where you think you know. one of my best memories that was like that that was the a because we played we played the qualification that is as much as well but this was a friend really it wasn't so so that because because. when we qualify for the world cup twenty years ago in france we were in the same groups we played creation in the qualification yeah and winded up in a situation where it was between creation and greece and we played greece in the last game and we needed a job only a draw and they would be all right actually we could lose and. 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 the phone from a great player to do that with my foot. so when we played this game when you get him back you line up and then you have the national anthems and and then it goes quiet in this because and we'd like to thank our new national hero peter schmeichel for says it is right something hey could be a nice car and this you know. they presented me with a hand he thought i go here's a have yeah it was nice but a car would have been nice. and then it would have been would have been even better how do you feel representing your nation again this time but it's without being involved in the actual it's a bit different all or all of course but i'm really proud that i haven't prato potholed fifa legends program and i read it thankful for the fifa for taking care of explain ourselves 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. russia has been welcoming football fans from around the world since last year's confederations cup and it seems that visiting supporters have embraced the local way of doing things. you. know. i. only. i. like. you. well the world cup has also been inspiring art projects one global initiative brought together photographers from across russia and intended to give the tournament an unfiltered look they were given

a disposable cameras had to document how the term it has changed the lives of ordinary russians they're also meant to provide a glimpse into the country's footballing culture really my colleague juggling vulgar i spoke to the co-founder of the goal click project matthew berry. for russia we decided to do a bigger projects looking at the real russia so we found a photographers from all over the country. to you catherine and volgograd and we asked them to document the country through their own eyes head of the world cup with 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 soviet infrastructure

and soviet 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. all those on told stories and really give russians a chance to give their own first person perspective there is 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 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. to fans have joined the world cup celebrations not only in russia but

all over the world sharing their favorite moments on social media r.t. has been collecting the best videos out there. was the was that out of the out of the was. absolute i. was. going to be going to get it was. who were of her was a mushroom was.

was right switching gears now e.u. leaders have agreed to set up processing centers across europe to speed up the resettlement and a deportation of migrants politicians are calling the deal a breakthrough but many people down whether it will solve the crisis and start to fall asleep reports. 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 for them i believe that the thorough prepared to the work of presidents and the photo chance america 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 anymore. 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 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 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 it follows

that those countries are responsible for migration senses france is not the country's first arrival so most opensource senses so obviously 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 measure. has to stop migrants and refugees from crossing internal borders now this is something that no call 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 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 objective but our approaches are different in the next fourteen days we will see whether we can find common ground here's another key point of the so-called breakthrough deal european leaders have also backed plans to tighten the

blocks borders and provide more money to countries like turkey and morocco to provide migrants from coming from 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 less about helping the migrants and more about saving the hits of some european leaders policy r.t. . president trump immigration crackdown has polarized opinion in the u.s. and according to a new poll some of the country could be heading for a new civil war. as a 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 that given that she was. still in the gas station you used to do. you

are you 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 let me let me go fifty eight percent sixty six six think it was possible. to start your 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 that the such a possibility thirty one percent saying there could be a civil war maybe you because of the gun control maybe because of. 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 that creates. that that kind 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 by the dozen for mail back with headlines in about thirty one minutes you are watching our two. camera. roughly once they showed some movie you for them. to joan cool videos during the world cup and someone with the broccoli string and.

going down more on string i don't really don't t.v. generally speaking mr trump's unilateralists notably the unilateralism which we saw with regards to iran which we also saw the regards to the paris agreement regarding climate change which we saw with regards to the american embassy in jerusalem all these unilateral decisions challenge from my point of view the quality of our transatlantic relations.

and welcome to the world the party free fair and the reciprocal that's the vision of trade that their current american administration wants to implement but it's raising of tariffs and division of all trade agreements when america sneezes can the rest of the world avoid catching the protectionist bieber to discuss that i'm now joined by our band or maghrib professor of economics at columbia university and a former indian chair at the g. twenty summit professor and so good to talk to you thank you very much for your time. now professor you have long advocated against the imposition of tariffs and other protectionist measures you believe that india should decrease trade barriers . in order to be more competitive but tariffs are not only an economic measure they're also a political and diplomatic tool when somebody flaps you with terrorists should you just turn the other cheek but it is a difficult. balance. and

one needs to or also take into account the possibility of. protectionism happening against you so simply as. a matter of tactic you cannot sit back so you know if protection is being imposed on you at some point you do have to react but this is a balancing act roxanna you know because your own bet is also hurt you and you don't want to carry it too far now i know that you have been fairly complimentary of prime minister narendra modi after he has been of you and yet i suppose he went a little bit against your advice in reciprocating this american imposition of steel and aluminum tariffs with india's own duties on more than two dozen american goods do you think he could have done anything differently without. you know inviting more pushing from the american side. right now we're still awaiting what the

government has done is to identify these products on which it says that an imposed there is somewhere in july so before that there is a standard oil dialogue to happen between india and the united states so i still hope that you know this type of counter kind of. will bring both sides to actually a bit more same position in which neither side will actually take their action remember that china is talking of determination europe is talking of retaliation any of the united says them countering. fifty billion dollars worth of chinese goods on risk the u.s. is saying it's going to impose tariffs i think that really is going to impact the trading system in a major it because that also goes against many of the rules so this is the ugly i understand what you're saying but you know what's also interesting to me is

how the trumpet ministration is trying to or frame this trade war because they certainly don't do not see themselves as protectionist in fact commerce secretary wilbur ross described the imposition of these tariffs as quote fixing the protectionism around the world and they seem to believe that there are acting against protectionist on the part of india on the part of china do you think they genuinely believe in that and do they have a point but this is certainly not. a long standing. by the united states a thing that longstanding practice by the united states has been to challenge the countries in the w t o or you as a mainstream deals liberalization in walking off the national security clause in the rules. as not been done for a very long time i think you know and clearly also in the various officials have

made their statements. there's a clear sense that this is not purely a national security issue so i personally think that this is contrary to the longstanding u.s. practice and therefore this is a new game that the united states. but professionally i think where they agree with me that president trump is unorthodox in many ways and one of these ways is that he actually seems to be banned on implementing he's campaigned promises and i think you wrote an article about that previously you know a number of administrations would suggest something on the campaign trail but then would quietly back away from that this is not what mr trying. things he's doing and i wonder if you believe he has what it takes in terms of the character in terms of the presidential powers in terms of the time left in office to actually change the global trade system in dramatic ways well you know if we if he continues on the current paths. then i think what we would do to this trading system is strongly

damage it in a major it. and then the question really begins to get to them is does happen will we be in a position to repair it back sometime. in the medium term the longer term in the administration in the united states it's of changes because ultimately remember that the united states is the country of it. give the lead investor mission and of the current multilateral trading system and so this is a huge backtracking by the united states absolutely and i don't know if you've heard that but over the past few days there have been multiple rumors about trump supposedly. floating a possibility or walking away from world trade organization all together now i just before i went to the studio i heard the denial of that by year's treasury secretary stephen newton even though he did admit that the administration does have concerns

about the way w.t.f. is structured and how it is supposedly being used against the united states do you take it this possibility seriously do you think the united states under this administration could actually abandon the w.t. altogether but you know this is difficult to speculate. i would only say that i hope not i think this is not going to do a lot of good to anybody at all and least of all the united states because. dimity the united states. if it. created this system its oil huge benefit. not just for the rest of the can but also for itself i mean in the end remember that you know from a poor second world war the united states gave them leave and really kind of created this very video and one trading system which we have today saw it's going to be a you know a lose lose proposition now when president trump talks about trade he doesn't only

talk about it being free and fair he talks about it being reciprocal in searching this bilateral symmetrical calculus to what has been a multilayered and highly asymmetrical system of global trade do you think free and reciprocal can really quarry exist when it comes to you know trading around the planet you know sun on the process b. has been a part of our system trading system since the beginning of the get in nineteen forty seven and afterwards but reciprocity was always used in the sense of that looking oh i haven't liberalism a trade if you liberal lazio's and so it's a process b. was used to liberal a stream and this is a process he had a bit of it it lacks the element that you know did not come go back a quick one for one completely but now it is being turned on its head you know and

my view of that process did lead to a huge amount of liberalization by everyone the developing countries came on board a little later but they certainly came on board and you know the developing countries today are incredibly open perhaps less open then the united states but certainly in over the miss quite a when actually so but now they have turned it around and we are saying that and you know if your tapes are higher than mine then i am going to reverse my past liberalization which i had actually done in response to your liberal a station and that is a different game you know so this was the exactly the opposite of the spirit of this a process b. as we have used in. the past now so far trump has been able to get his way partially due to his bare knuckle tactics do you think there is any leverage that the rest of the world has when negotiating trade with this very pushy america it still carries a huge dad could that be used as a tool of persuasion.
