the world cup so he said coming home. is not god. but it is it's coming home but i'm sure our you know mary schiavo you know you're. right there are. so is it coming home will definitely find out in some are when england face the sweden in the quarter finals. meanwhile some are comparing canes a penalty goal in the game against colombia with a penalty goal by david back in two thousand and six that was the last time england entered a world cup quarter final following its defeat of ecuador. following england's win over colombia they will meet sweden on july seventh in the quarterfinals sweden defeated switzerland one zero in st petersburg earlier on tuesday sending their fans into
1:31 am
a frenzy. was . the. was good. good good. good little. was. right artie's daniel hawkins and isa ali on top of that match in russia's northern capital. to the world wherever you're watching from today welcome to a studio in the heart of russia's northern capital for daniel hawkins the sadly we now have the result of today's fast loss sixteen share is official sweden have been switzerland one else advanced to the quarterfinals for the first time in twenty
1:32 am
four years and what a game it was it suddenly blew off fans home well let's take a look at some of the reactions why was . it was. so sweden going through to the quarter finals with one nil win over switzerland here in st peter's 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 sixth minute. to be fed and on the edge of the area where he was in space and his shot power was
1:33 am
slightly weak. deflection before going past the keeper that the flexion coming off manuel kind g. and the keeper really standing no chance with that now we have all to the group who are with us now consultant to form a fee for communications director who was actually at a big game here listen some petersburg times for joining us what was the atmosphere like. first of all outstanding stadium fantastic fans everything was pretty. sure. the result was a 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. switzerland hope finally to go to the next they'd shown that they have to wear them over for years to come what do you think of the
1:34 am
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 the middle of the people here also journalist former colleagues there 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 the swedish the swiss fans you know just talking and pointing out that the good positive thing 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 and the swedish or the yellow ones who are qualified and they're the ones hardest worse they go home the thing is as you
1:35 am
say i believe somebody wasn't a football fan before the world cup they are all for fun 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 you mentioned there about the sheer size of russia almost eleven hundred cities twelve stadiums. a lot of concern beforehand as you say about the about the organization the size of 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 by the first world cup. i've been was ninety four in 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
1:36 am
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 here now to turn the track and the communicate with the even with the taxi drivers they hardly speak english but you cannot blame the taxi driver probably the french or the learn a few words in russia and this is also with me i don't know and and so were. difficult kind of this for us but for the rest in serving a fantastic so for us just ask the world cup especially because the big teams they're 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
1:37 am
a good now you mentioned of course the interaction between the locals and the people who are visiting russia this tournaments as dan said spread over eleven cities how important do you think that is they get to 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 seen so many people coming into that time i think it's very important. at least that the people the france for here to really use this opportunity to to to see a part of the country. because you cannot see the whole process of course but it was the same in brazil a lot of people criticize it before because you have four hours to her from let's say rio de janeiro at the time the mouse or the muslims so they said it's a tomato but that the end of the day everybody want to be all over it and i think it's very it's for the country who is hosting the world cup it's always good just
1:38 am
to showcase what the pats were of course since i started school for the reality of it so it's a it's good for everybody else like so much for joining us here not too great to get your take on the world cup on the game as well to google or a consultant for free for communications for direct and. one else seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. me lol yet to stamp out these things because that's ok and in detroit because the trail. when somebody find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
1:39 am
the accounting firms the banks the rating agencies the government and the central bank it's called a racket the u.k. profits from it and some way that's how the aristocracy keeps going and that's not going to stop. donald trump will soon visit europe has a very busy agenda and it's unclear what kind of reception people get topping his i ten or where he will be trade relations nato and russia never before has an american president been expected with so much apprehension. or welcome back this is r.t. international now a hairstylist from new york has become the face of an apparently growing movement among american liberals he released a video which quickly went viral calling on people to walk away from what he sees as the phony liberalism of the democratic party we spoke to the man who started the
1:40 am
campaign to find out what prompted it and why he thinks it is gaining momentum. well i i myself was a lifelong liberal democratic voter i would say kind of a democrat by default because i'm a gay man and i think that the expectation for a lot of minority groups is that we are supposed to vote democrat and that we are supposed to be liberals so i found myself sort of in the tribe on the left most of my life but there are things for years that made me extremely uncomfortable as i started to see the identity politics and the politically correct culture just sort of take over common sense i knew other people were feeling this way so i decided to create a campaign and create this video to kick off the campaign so i'm walking away. and i encourage all of you to do the same. with. what i really wanted to do was get people back in touch with their voices and to
1:41 am
push back against the narrative on the left well the video has indeed generated a huge amount of feedback almost thirty thousand people have joined the movement since its a release last month with the hashtag walkaway trending over the weekend now it seems other liberals have been inspired to reveal their reasons for turning their backs on the democrats i mean. i was instantly hooked to his message that democrats don't care about us not one bit they walked away from us a long time ago it is time for us to do this i'd rather walk away and be a part. of. the right things the scared of the left this is where the party is going and this is why i'm sure you want. however some liberal outlets that have covered the story of claimed most of the momentum has been generated by left wingers rather than actual x. liberals to the founder of the walk away campaign for his rich. my campaign is not
1:42 am
most they can approach comprised of people who are conservative and in fact anybody who's saying that i encourage them to go into the this is what so brilliant about the campaign if i don't say so myself you can't love the video testimonials don't lie those aren't russian bots if you will and these are you know these aren't manufactured stories these are real people telling the real stories so for anybody who is skeptical please go to the page and see with your own eyes and listen with your own ears to the stories of real people who have really walked away from the left because they're completely fed up with what's happening on the left. are meanwhile u.s. president donald trump is enjoying a little popularity boost a recent poll suggests his approval rating rose two points last month to forty seven percent and perhaps surprisingly support for the u.s. president seems to have been growing most among hispanic voters are to scale up incumbents. the month of june wasn't too good for the white house and the court of
1:43 am
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
1:44 am
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. because the people. at least listen to goon 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 but much trouble his reaction perhaps specific to his son and his wife to say you know to do one kind of the town ways again that. you want to make a civilized process that. yes there is is
1:45 am
a lot of pros and cons but still overall he wants 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 mop and r.t. new york. least forty secondary schools across england have banned people from wearing skirts as some have deemed them unacceptable putting them on a list the same one as facial piercings even more are now reportedly considering switching to more gender neutral uniforms girls will now have to wear plain trousers just like the boys and it seems like the reasons differ from school to school some hope to implement a more gender neutral policy others hope to make life easier for the small but increasing number of transgender students one school though is citing fears over the sexualization of young women this illustrates the
1:46 am
length we want a lot of the students are wearing skirts to show i'm not sure why we are moving towards just for girls in september not everyone has accepted the new policies though one parent we spoke to is furious that the school didn't ask the parents opinions before making changes to the uniform i was very shell there was no colorful. way that made parents so. bold no reason to get the well so i can speak well on the bow and. have like and i know the children will too they'll want to know why charles over time they should be given the choice. to take away the choice is wrong. when a petition has been launched against the uniform changes at that particular school arguing that there is nothing offensive about girls' needs diane burdick again
1:47 am
thinks that children should be free to choose whatever uniform they want to wear. boys want to dress. and go to dress like boys was five so what is wrong with that. says that who. will it will be quite a lot going on at the moment about changing the rules for all time to get a. chill and i'll kill the let's bear in mind that they are a minority and the majority say we can't he every thought it all the time right. now the national court of justice of ecuador has issued a warrant for the preventative detention of the country's ex president rafael correa the country's chief prosecutor's office requested that interpol extradite the former leader who now resides in belgium and craig is facing accusations he was
1:48 am
involved in the kidnapping of former opposition lawmaker fernando bol done in two thousand and twelve meanwhile bolton himself has been charged with orchestrating a foil the coup attempt in two thousand and ten could it was president of ecuador for ten years starting in two thousand and seven he denies all of the charges either doesn't mean i'll be back in just under thirty two minutes with a full look at your news much more to international. all. those girls. that have been just.
1:49 am
god and god i am. glad of that. with a little but i don't know yet i don't know i think it will be. right we're all set to start in five guys at the studio house a signal. he's not going to talk about no fly list just maybe right after the morris explorers one knew it would appear to be. cool to rock. to say where people go.
1:50 am

1:51 am
i. this is a poem bus broadcast around the world from washington d.c. i'm partial to thanks for joining us we appreciate you hanging out with us coming up today we focus on any policy around the planet we'll be joined by professor richard wolfe and artie correspondent on your part bill looks at a recent united nations report on poverty in the united states and some reactions at home and abroad plus the c.e.o. of strong market we're word which looks at the wealthiest and poorest nations around the world and r.t. correspondent trinny charges goes to fisher island florida of the wealthiest zip code in the u.s. for a special report part of it from i got plus r t correspondent dan cohen looks at the war on work at the border areas in the nation including right here in the nation's capital the belly of the beast washington d.c.
1:52 am
all that straight ahead but first let's get to you has one we seek to bring a global perspective to the issues we cover here boom bust so to get a real grasp on the problem of inequality we begin with a report from the library of the british house of commons which is analogous to the library of congress here in the u.s. on what our world will look like in twenty thirty if trends continue the report finds that the richest one percent of humanity is on track to control sixty four percent of the planet's capital and wealth by two thousand and thirty up from the current fifty percent and measured in dollars that one percent will increase their huge holdings from the current hundred forty trillion dollars to three hundred five trillion dollars the labor party's m.p. lam byrne who requested the survey told the u.k. guardian that absent major reforms global policy makers are quote risking a new explosion instability corruption and poverty on the other side of the proverbial coin. a november twenty seventh team report from credit suisse found
1:53 am
that people on the bottom fifty percent of the income scale on less than one percent of global wealth got that fifty percent of lower income folks on less than one percent o.-m. g. . turning back to the u.s. for more granular view of the problem the pew research center noted late last year that the so-called great recession of two thousand and seven to two thousand and nine further exacerbated inequality by race gender and income as one of most trusted analyst of demographics polling and policy in the united states using figures from the federal reserve they found that among americans poor and middle class the gap between white households wealth and black and hispanic households increased in the wake of the great recession and twenty sixteen white households in these brackets had four times the wealth of comparable african-american families and three times the wealth of hispanic households interestingly pew did find that
1:54 am
among lower income household white families lost more wealth than their african-american and hispanic peers. reports about the poor are unfortunately not a new thing over the years we've seen a steady flow of papers studies and reports about the growing poverty united states and what seemed to many people some obscene numbers separating the rich and the poor the haves and have nots as we say with all of this information and data being delivered revealing the staggering level of poverty in the country we may need some help to break it all down and put it into the proper perspective and in that regard we are fortunate and honored to have just such a person joining us now is a presser economics of merit to the university of massachusetts and her friends are richard will professor we're very pleased to have you join us again. thank you bob glad to be here so let's start with
1:55 am
a benchmark i mean you teach classes and look at these sorts of things all the time as income inequality always existed in the u.s. the answer simply is yes it has our economic system and there's no nice way to say this our economic system capitalism is at least as efficient in reproducing poverty as it is in reproducing wealth it has tried over and over again to say that it is confronting the problem of poverty but if it's true that it did so it failed to solve the problem because here we are three hundred years into our history and we're still confronted with serious amounts of poverty and serious degrees of extreme poverty as the u.n. and others have been documented right up to this moment where there's another report out to professor it may go along with that but i want to get your take on it it's a united way the nonprofit organization they have
1:56 am
a project called alice it's that action acronym but it's geared toward trying to quantify and describe the number of u.s. households that are are struggling financially and the result of that work indicates that more than fifty one million homes and there are actual people least one person in these homes cannot afford basic necessities like food aus and transportation and we have a total of about three hundred twenty five million people in the state so what do you make of the report and do you think that figure is accurate. there's no question that it's accurate it's been reinforced and validated by other comparable studies what's remarkable about the united way documents is that it gets away from formal statistics of the government to really look at what a family's situation is it's not just do you have enough food this evening on the table but can you rely on next week and next month when your children go to school
1:57 am
knowing that there's food that they'll be heat in the house when they come on to do their homework in other words are the basic qualities of life secure and adequate or not and for them to have discovered with no axe to grind that somewhere between a third and a half of the american people aren't secure in the most basic way is the most profound criticism of our economic system that i could imagine it's really disconcerting and we you know that's why i said there we're asking the question no they're not just homes are real people that live live there and you know bring it to a personal level we often hear about people and politicians tell these stories sometimes about how difficult the decisions are between choosing between you only have a certain amount of money in your paycheck between health care and housing or health care and food to eat and you know those are tough choices that all folks that are financially strapped have to make but when we consider the basic
1:58 am
necessities like those things i was in food health care etc which of these has become so privily expensive for some that they're just increasingly inaccessible. i think the key culprit among several is housing the problem with housing is we allow that in this country to be a private profit making enterprise and to put it as simply as i know how the money to be made the profits to be made in building housing is building housing for the one percent the luxury apartments the luxury mansions the luxury condos and all the rest and that's where the money goes meaning that the mass housing for the mass of people isn't growing and so what happens is there's a scarcity not in the sense that we couldn't produce the housing but that we don't in a private profit driven economy with the result that the rents are going crazy and
1:59 am
we believe in general that a family should never spend more than twenty to thirty percent of its income on housing because if it goes above that it starts eating into the minimal levels of everything else education transportation health care and so on and we have a reality in america that if you look at what's happened to housing particularly rental housing it has driven people into that precarious state that the united way discovered so much is being spent for housing that they literally cannot provide the basics in the case of a third to a half of our households of what's needed in a modern society like ours professor just got a little bit of time but let me ask you do you see any signs of hope for reversing this trend wage and income inequality. well as your report from the london. you know documentary library there shows no the
2:00 am
trends we are stuck with now are trends that do not give us hope they are trends in which this is them works to make the rich richer and everybody else a spectator of their wealth and that's why many of us are realizing we really have to change the system if we're going to deal with one of its worst outcomes which is this level of poverty after hundreds of years of seeing that it's a problem that needs to be solved i want to keep an eye on it we appreciate folks like you speaking out will try to do our part here a boom bust professor richard walter resurrected omics america's erasing an earth we're in your debt sir thanks kindly for your time thank you. and we mention the united nations report with the professor the report looks at poverty in the united states r t correspondent on.
