very colorful lots of course sure was lots of thinking i spoke to some of them and asked them what their score predictions and the outcome predictions were for this game three two three two columbia will win ok i think we will ring to nail in the second half and colombia has excellent players we have amazing technical ability in my opinion we will win that i thought was we came twelve thousand kilometers to win we won nothing oust. it actually took me some time to find english fans to speak about the tonight's game but the ones i found this is something actually spectacular is the same gentleman that i had filmed in kiev when you're old twenty twelve when there were going absolutely crazy in the streets of the ukrainian capital back then so i recognized them and asked them what their score prediction was for the game try much you try i will show you i think it's you i'm pretty sure it's you is that you over there. was.

you know where that is right that's the phrase yes i was called prediction for a second for a joke when england told you know was going to score. up and there again any. carrot i call three o three don't embrace the insult of a church oh shit it's always it coming home. it's not god. did it is it coming home that you treasure our you know mary schiavo you know you out there and out. of that who is your are made out of there are other her father made out of. and around the columbia in england bottling it out for the chance to take almost sweden in the quarterfinals they defeated switzerland earlier in the day in st pete as they said in the sweetest fans into a frenzy. was the was the word.

and there was. you know. i did. it. on my colleague's time you holkins that he said are you were cross not much force in russia's northern capital. cities but to the world wherever you're watching from today welcome to studio in the heart of russia's northern capital for i am daniel hawkins the sadly we now have the result of today's fuss last sixteen clash is official sweden have someone else advance to the quarterfinals for the first time in twenty four years and what a game it was it suddenly get a blue fans home well let's take

a look at some of the reactions that why was i. was. so sweden going through to the quarter finals with one nil win over switzerland here in st petersburg and as the swiss ended up eventually ending the game with just ten men now with regards to the goal it came on the sixty six minute. fed and moved on the edge of the area where he was in space and his shot power was slightly weak. it took

a massive deflection before going past the keeper that affection coming off man well i can gee and keep a really standing no chance with that now we have all to go gloria with us now consultant in the form of fee for communications director who was actually at the game here today with us in st petersburg times for joining us what was the atmosphere like there today what it was first of all my outstanding stadium fantastic fans everything was picture perfect. the result was not good for sort of course. there was really a fantastic event i don't think it was a top top game. but you know a lot of pressure from both of them switzerland hope finally to go to the next they churn the they have to wear the no four years so what do you think of the tournament so far it was as you said perhaps a very tight game not the most exciting in the tournament but overall it's been

quite interesting on the pitch i have to admit my middle of the people here also journalists former colleagues they were very skeptical critical but after three four days the mood changed people got another view another perception of this country that this part of the country because it's quite big you know. so also after the game so the swedish. fans you know just talking and pointing out the good positive things of this came to there was at least everyone everybody in the darkest corner of kentucky and ohio know the world is switzerland and the world to sweden the swedish or the yellow ones who are qualified and they're the ones. they go home the thing is as you say i mean for somebody who wasn't a football fan before the world cup they are an awful. even if for a day or

a few days my grandma was actually in touch with me saying have you seen the game did you see the girls amazing eighty one and you found football fan but something in there about the sheer size of russia almost eleven host cities twelve stadiums. a lot of concern beforehand as you say about the about the organization the size the travel football violence etc. how is this world cup compared to the others that you've been to and do you think any of those concerns maybe have been justified have been the first world cup. been was in ninety four and the u.s. as a journalist and then on the last one was two thousand and fourteen i was involved to people and you know it's always kind of easy to say it's the best you cannot really compare you know but so far what i have seen is really amazing no accident no whatsoever no for problems security wise i hope it goes on like that it's not finished yet the stadium so already. as i said the only really

kind of criticism if i can say is that you know it's quite hard for the fans in order to try and interact and to communicate with the even with the taxi drivers the they hardly speak english but you cannot blame the taxi driver probably the french or the learn a few words in russian and this is also with me i don't know and and so we're very difficult to kind of discuss but for the rest the really fantastic so for your sas league world cup especially because the big teams are not here i mean of course germany spain portugal and so on italy not even this year so it's kind of that the world cup of the so-called little teams the only big one is brazil let's say and maybe maybe england but i mean this is peter scald in our don't know if english is really a favorite colombia's a good now you mentioned of course the interaction between the low. calls on the

people who are visiting russia this twenty months as don said spread over eleven cities how important do you think that is that the distance that it's covering that might be a challenge for some but also to bring the world cup to so many communities that may never have seen so many people coming into the ties they think it's very important that almost. at least that the people the friends i have for theo they really use this opportunity to to to see a part of to come to you because you cannot see the home russian forces but it was the same in brazil a lot of people criticize it before because you know four hours from let's say rio de janeiro at the time the mouse or the muscle so they said it's a tomato but at the end of the day everybody wanted to be all over it and i think it's it's for the country who is hosting the world cup it's always good just to showcase what they have for of course i do feel for the reality but it's it's a it's a it's good for everybody and also thanks so much for joining us here not so great

to get your take on the world cup on the game as well to the glory of consultant for future communications director of the. right we're all set to start in five. to seven the studio has a signal. he's not going to talk about. just living right after the arse explorers work you put it there. hula rock. to some class people.

well welcome to sophie and co i'm seriously shevardnadze and today we're got lots to talk about in our program and our gas this. little rock that. they gave us a camera. roughly once the show it's a movie for the. future uncool videos during the world cup and someone with the broccoli string out. why don't more on string i don't rightly don't t.v. . dance and reality new center in moscow and other headline stories this hour donald trump's enjoying a little popularity a big boost a recent poll suggests his approval rating rose two points last month to forty

seven percent and perhaps surprisingly support for the us president seems to have been growing mostly among hispanic voters kellett more pics play. the month of june wasn't too good for the white house and the court of public opinion lots of media raked over the coals for the treatment of migrant families along the u.s. border now in the denunciation of the donald latino americans took center stage we saw the president just a few moments ago on twitter tweeting again that this was the democrats' fault and not acknowledging at all that he has the ability to stop it with perhaps just a phone call it's not right it's immoral it's inhumane and we need to stop that and we've known since donald trump came down those stairs calling mexicans rapists and criminals we've known that we as american citizens would be on watch but according to a harvard harris poll thirty five percent of americans who identify as hispanic either approve or somewhat approve of the trumpet ministrations policies now that survey

was conducted after trump signed an executive order ending the separation of illegal migrant families back in may those numbers are only twenty five percent in a single executive order to really explain a spike in approval this time now fifty seven percent of hispanic americans according to another poll approve of donald trump's economic policies we decided to speak to some folks in the local latino community to see if they can explain these poll numbers have no explanation and definitely not my kind of people i think because the people. at least listen to tone trump and i believe what he says it makes no sense at all because it's mostly hispanic that the border that are being denied entry with their children so i can't speak for them do you think maybe there's other issues that are important to them i think that they're probably unaware of exactly what's going on as most of us are what would be some reason that that people in hispanic communities would support trump i mean what possible reason could there be i guess i mean he's smart financially with much trouble his reaction

perhaps specific to this is what's to say you know that they do want to connect the town ways again and they want to make a civilized process of. yes there's a lot of pros and cons which. you want to make america great again now the media is very good at telling us how we should be feeling however a more nuanced look at the data can sometimes throw up some surprising results it would happen r.t. new york. at least forty secondary schools across england has banned pupils from wearing skirts some have dreams them unacceptable putting them on the same list as facial piercings even more and they're reportedly considering switching to more gender neutral uniforms girls will now have to wear plain trousers just like the boys and it seems the reasons differ from school to school some hope to implement a more gender neutral policy while others hope to make life easier for the small

but increasing number of transgender students well one school though is sizing things over the sexualized nation of young women this illustrates the length of the we want a lot of the students are wearing skirts too short and that is why we are moving towards just for girls in september well known to everyone has accepted the new policies though one parent we spoke to was furious that the school didn't also clear parents opinions before making changes to the uniform i was very sure. there was no cultural. way that a parent so. all the no reason what so i can speak on the bell and. hope. and i know the children will want to work out all the time they should be given the choice to take away the

choice is wrong. a position has been launched to gauge the uniform changes about particular school arguing that there is nothing offensive about girls knees down birthday card but the bird again thinks that children should be free to choose whatever uniform they want to wear if boys were dressed for girls and girls want to dress like. it's five but what is wrong with girls just like girls for eight years says that school has been going girls but was. quite a lot going all. about changing different roles for. children and adults but let's bear in mind that they are a minority and not the majority we can't p.s. everybody all the time. now here is a bit of

a complicated story with a happy ending a chance encounter has reunited identical twin sisters after thirty five years they were separated at birth in the russian city of perm when a hospital mix up saw their father take home the wrong baby well here's how events unfolded. old young lady and his friend was driving along the street and saw alumina looking exactly like leon she honked but the woman didn't recognize her so she called ileana asking why didn't she recognize her when it was really surprised because she was it.

was a pool of blood or the baby was in a blanket the nurse showed me her face national issue humorous i said yes of course the means the baby gave her a choice thought she was mine. i remember being cool with all kinds of names in jeeps if we sample it hersman volt. business lockable my life was not a better roses that's a leaf separated from my family without parents you don't even care. beautiful story there's like a short break now do stay with us. i've

played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside out it's. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch pull the funnel school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money just kill you narrowness and spending two hundred twenty million and one player. it's an experience like nothing else i want to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so one more chance with. the base this minute.

yeah.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be all for rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trades per circuit first check in and get going rose 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 is one one just to show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust.

never fear.

well that's one minutes into the game between colombia and england it's still nil nil at this point we'll take that one eye on the school for you and i will come come stan collymore he's actually explored colombia for race and spoke to some former top players that take a look at this. this

week the stan collymore show comes to another one of the thirty tonight to qualify for the people woke up in russia welcome to colombia. i'm delighted to be joined by a man that wants to cut your weight in america in colombia i mean you're a hero of mine because i'm a i'm an aston villa fan and apply for the club all of the players that ply from our great club something like one pub long joins us colombia in russia this will only be the seventh and i was surprised that for some reason i expected colombia to be very why do you think that i haven't consistently qualified for world cups i think it's a number of things just. one has to do. with obviously the project behind every.

team or every qualification team that has played for colombia and then these the level of competition in the american qualifiers you normally get argentina brazil and you take those student to places for granted and then you have another two and a half spots to fight for and here with those can be a complete team with spots how many changed throughout the years to be with the golden generation used to be chile ecuador and now it all came back again and it just changed you know what i mean but i think for my point to be. american qualifiers are the hardest one you can will get to a stage like in europe where you have groups of whole even if those two groups of foible the full groups of three why view it would it would it would more reflect the quality across the continent of south america i think it's hard just. to make

it that way to change it that way and the reason being is because it has always been the same and the only way that you can make it happen that way should be feed through the calf and the let's say you know american on it and you just play you only one continent playing the whole qualifications and you half three or four groups tell us how passionate colombians all about football i mean the biggest for the country's football. league has changed dramatically over the last so that say in years he was a league that was only majority for people from the cartel and now. there's a lot of companies own in teams and the structure of the league has changed it is not what it should be if the amount of talent that we've got in terms of the entertainment side of off off off the leak i think is there's a lot of steel still to develop. but there is for my point of view there's only three big themes here there are. you not use america and not. in the last

six seven years he's been absolutely tremendous with has happened to the club the strength has transformed and the recognition to out there were for what we have known here is tremendous. the structure is in place now in colombia to provide the quality of facilities of training and coaching for undoubtedly a quality football nation to break consistently at the top level. i mean the academy ameri corps. hundred percent and the most important thing that we've got because we have to sell players to survive so we depend on those youngsters. but then obviously every club have a house a different infrastructure and different philosophy in trying to basically develop the skates do they get sold to the young i think so but that is also the necessity that the clubs have explained to us thousand credible times of play it plays what

you know it's pretty though i played against in the premier league at freddie ring call. run a disco ball why would those three copes copes with annoying to such a special group a thing is there's a lot of things first of all and most important there was a lot of talent within those players when you name a fino for me are the republic the best player that we've we fact i think on my little arm to get on the squad. a lot of talented players but then there were souls a currency things with this national team of these group of players they majority of that group used to play for now so not the coach was from this or not but they used to train every day together they used to they didn't knew each other better than anybody and the coach used to basically be with them every day so i think that played a part there without taking anything away from them i mean the seacoast senses were different you know what i mean that used and you know you get a group of people all players you basically. get them together for two days or

three days before a game colombia recently played in london of course in the craven cottage and norm of none of those players on back on the ninety go back on the older generation and they used to play in the europe so does that make it much more difficult for colombia in years to come to win it well i just think that the players are adjust to the circumstances because one of the things that they care mark has taken one has known he's basically having these group of players that they really or. understand each other and they a lot of them play together in the lord to be shows on the younger national teams groups and now obviously this group this generation has changed the way people look at a long again there were three world cups which are close to him he didn't qualify for two thousand and thirty thousand and six in germany in two thousand and one at those three world cups it makes it much more difficult for those young kids to cite i want to aspire to do this on the world stage i mean there was a combination of

a lot of things for my point of view nothing and i don't think that the team was as good as it should have been and then there was a lot of changes you fit in the federation and there were changing coaches in between or in the middle of favor qualifications so there was a lot of mistakes and all the mistakes that we made in those three qualification or neutral and those three were cops and they basically create a much stronger for the ratio and the understood what they needed to do in order for us to go back to the national team i want to report on things that the realise was the importance of having colombia play network up. this is andres escobar he played for the thrill of the national team in the nineteen ninety four loko in the united states he scored an own goal he came back to columbia and he lost his life for it going to be chucked into the system yes there.
