i. i. was.

in the west. court. today morning. and saw it with a. group .

of the quarter finals has now come to close we know exactly who the first pair was still in the race for the trophy and falls off through to the last for brazil in the world why it's time to pack their bags in the late game of the day belgium saw off five time world cup winners brazil two goals to one. i. would throw the ball. and what a game it was belgium opening the scoring in the thirteenth minute chadli curling the ball in straight from. table for the straight toss allison into the net embarrassment for the experienced a friend is that really that the mood for the whole game belgium doubling their lead a little while later a star striker. powerhouse picking the ball up in the belgian was off powering

forward. through the midfield the defense. took a shot with a very powerful allowed time and space on the ball into the bottom left corner no chance for the keeper that douglas costa came on forward to silver that did change the pace of the game a bit strengthen brazil's midfield pulling it out wide trying to spread the belgians didn't work the defensive masterclass there aside from one. reviving hopes just three minutes after coming on to the pitch bearing this had a right into the bottom right corner off to force ok you can just see it there splitting the difference was enough for the brazilians the attack large looking unimpressive throughout the whole but really shot down by the belgians are. strikers star tech and we feel is looking pretty helpless in the face of the belgian. let's go. now he's been following that crucial clash brazil belgium

perhaps many will be sad to see the five time world champions going home i'm guessing brazil fans disappointed where you are as well well absolutely you know i was here for the argentina france game i'm now here for the brazil belgium game and judging by how much fun both the argentinians and the brazilians had in the streets of cazan you would never be able to tell that this would effectively become the final stop for the both latin american teams they're both going home from design and if you would look at the stadium you would see it's a sea of yellow and occasional small islands of red so let me use this report as a rallying call to all the belgians it's not too late to buy tickets to st petersburg and be there on tuesday when. their team plays against france and arguably the biggest game for belgium i had a little chat with the fifa president jonny in france you know about this world cup i will tell you after the end of the world cup but so far it's. quite top class

this was not only the last game for brazil this was the last game focus on all the matches a welcome match is now over and jonathan's you know said that it was an amazing atmosphere amazing experience to be in the city which is now saying goodbye to the world cup obviously we're not and we'll see you all in st petersburg on tuesday. without further ado. and of course. peter schmeichel guys i would say you it's no surprise no one can be surprised about this brazil played better today than i've seen them in the whole tournament and ironically they go out in the form as i thought. defensively you know the very unlucky in the first goal it's just got a little flick of come company which then hit the fan and goes in and it's what happens in football they didn't really become a from and then they find themselves to know at half time moves more to happen that happened in the second half. they were involved. look to name to say you know this

is your opportunity to show how good you are you had let us know if you had a situation where you get support and insights deposit inside the box to for me new for me new has a shot because just over and i'm a mouse i had a shot in one thousand minutes plus three which t.v. reports wass a sense hasankeyf but i have to say you know what it's saying goodbye to to one of the better teams now where you can think some of the other teams are still in the tournament maybe you know we get swept them all but that's the nature of the world cup france just a quick recap they. thought reason becomes to play in the end. and again that's something east of predicted might think even though he was out here fighting but that's a big problem for your boy so i was on his own he's he's a good striker of anjana zone he's a good strike up a pov on us was together is the thought that that but wasn't after your wife and

i'm not but i've been very consistent with the i actually think that he's been the best player in the mirror and see and i also think he was what he's been one of the best performing players in the whole of the world started off fantastically well in school but we you know contributed would say and then he scored two goals. but this was a six so. you know that that was a really really tough. stuff for them today not to have him. and the thing is i said this before that france was the one team for me that really stepped it up a they went from being everything seeing people stand my voice so i obviously i don't even closer to them and on them so they were very obvious to sort of slowly go through the group stages. but in that last sixteen. against argentina to really step. goals from. the french fans into ecstasy will have

a frost the summer look at the gods of that game was when the what was what it was one of the it was. a on but it was it was it was. so the last pair of

quarter finals being played on saturday with the host nation russia taking on croatia in the result city of soft cheek that is tonight both teams reached the quarter final off the winning dramatic penalty shoot outs croatia are one of the tournament favorites but russia are also are riding high on a new found wave of confidence off their win against spain's. team russia in the finals performing something just sure america giving the fight to them i ceased being individually knocking it right out of the tournament that night russian roulette to our where that. little one little boy became after that she was saved by the russian goalkeeper eager you can shave in the final. penalty shootout figure you can fave

himself already a star here at home became an even bigger internet celebrity at the time. now also drawing attention of course russia's head coach but he took the spotlight not only with these managing decisions and he's managing style but also with his emotions or rather the lack of them i should say a hint of a smile and a reservedly pulled fists in triumph this is cool that he allowed himself on the pitch. churches have some astonished have become known here in russia has them a stosh of hope another symbol for russian fans these russia's traditional headwear

caution so here in central moscow in the hearts of the football fever i decided to familiarize fans of other national teams with these features of the russian fan culture. to know that russia's traditional elements of headway. as in the. winter have both. with the bald guy a bald guy i have no idea i have no idea if. that's that trick to stop cock up i have this. for you know what it is but it's this really yeah i know exactly who this is because for a girl it's called a cautionary bush yes question it right on have you ever wanted to become a russian. of all mine. just

those who the bird has perfect vision and lightning fast reactions just like the sportsman now russian football fans are crossing my fingers for their team but they are ready to do a bit more to ensure victory. was . basically. just for the last. this is you know we should deal with the beautiful we. don't you. don't you. would if you go. with the ladies. of the.

station he has. to be live. and. i think we. need you to. start. with. that one you see as. he should. be released. is a must but. meanwhile croatia is also intent on winning this game a former croatian footballer told us why he is betting on his team. rocher beat when we played twenty years ago we beat the italy we beat germany three million we own if somebody undervalue croatian team he can have a big problem we can control the ball today who control more the ball more time

tight sometimes what makes all the difference is in the depth knowledge of the opposition to the bums know about their rival nation we decided to test. some swedish puns with their color shot here in the some morrison is pretty nice first of all isn't it it's very nice for the most part that queen elizabeth became queen elizabeth in which decade when did she go on to the throne forty. four forty nine hundred forty as you say it is sixty one thousand nine hundred fifty which decade when you're. seventy it's a. seventy four look at that right out of the block of the population of sweden it's a little bit smaller than yourselves a twenty year ten million i mean final answer. if you

kept your nerve and you did write ten million that is well done sir what is the population of england around seventy million sixty six is a small. teamwork i got there in the end nineteen ninety eight and youngest ever going to school or against argentina remember the wonder goal who scored it. could be. michael. owen and we go on we've got it what was sweden's highest ever finish the world cup their best place in fifty eight group against brazil in fifty. when pelley but he had done what he did not the proposed you know every day went down to the next how was it not was a school so there you have it the supporters of the three lanes take care but wilbur team full sits on the pitch not long to find out you know the real r.t.

some are on. the field money system is dying and so people are going to take money out of theater and see and put it into craft and they're going to have to broaden past which is they can put their cash into obedience going which would be this china social that would take score and hope to get more frequent flyer miles and a freeway ending down of the change or they can go down the path claim path which is individual something. aggression is everywhere in our gnosis i do we still have hurried over the employment and we see how are we doing this you know especially in the hinterlands so we would see the success stories a house it's a story once again because how big the put it to gave the money you could object to

but we didn't do that we didn't succeed in the country because the economy goes. here with us today the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons has issued an interim report on the alleged use of chemical weapons in the syrian city of duma in april it says various chlorinated substances were found in samples from two sites in duma yet the report also states no no agents degradation products were detected the o.p.c. w. has not yet reached a final conclusion about the allegations it says its work is still ongoing the

chemical attack in question was allegedly carried out on april the seventh and duma a week later the u.k. and the u.s. launched air strikes against syria accusing president assad of using chemical weapons against his own people a russian military experts on the ground though failed to find any trace of chemical weapons used in what the attack by western powers went ahead regardless. now chemistry professor james says the organic compounds the o.p.c. w. found at the side not necessarily related to any type of nerve agent. it means what they found are just typical are getting compounds that would be present from an industrial cylinder it has nothing to do with nerve agents that are getting compounds that they found were seeded gases then try to say that those are the types of compounds that any any organic chemistry lab or industrial site would have

those are used as skin treatment agents use work removal that has nothing to do with a chemical agent. now are some western media outlets were quick to react to the report with the b.b.c. even claiming proof of chemical weapons had been found there they since corrected the headline to reflect the fact that the o p c w has yet to reach a conclusion about in april after the alleged attack u.s. officials are also eager to jump to conclusions the united states has excellent intelligence gathering as we saw what happened with information that led us to believe that sarin and chlorine gas were used in this most recent attack we certainly had a lot of media and social media indicators that either chlorine or sharon were used james tall also told us he's actually been skeptical all along about whether the chemical attack ever really took place. just looking at the attack looking at the cylinders i knew that this was not

a chemical weapons attack with anything there may have been some cylinders that may have been exploded but those were typical industrial cylinders of common compounds that nothing to do with a chemical weapons attack and that's why the report said that there are no no chemical weapons agents were found at all whether they be being nerve agents or chemical agents or mustard agents none of the agents or the by products degradation products were found. planned a demolition of a bedouin village in the west bank has been suspended by an israeli court as office scuffles between activists some police during the week i just radio authorities moved in bulldozers to the site oh yeah you know the protesters created a human chain to prevent the equipment from entering the village a scum which has reportedly left thirty five injured the palestinian journalist syndicate claims israeli soldiers also attacked reporters that the e.u.

the un and various rights groups have all come out against the demolition a spokesperson for the un relief agency for palestine refugees says the plan may violate international law. things in the village up salutes the terrorists on the bed with themselves some of the most disadvantaged people in the middle east they and their children are living on a knife edge international humanitarian law prohibits the transfer of the population of an occupied territory without the genuinely and fully informed consent of the affected people regardless of the most is that consent is not considered genuine in an environment not by the use of pressure a physical full collision fear of violence old us to the position it's very clear what we may be witnessing could be a grave breach of the full day of the convention and it may amount to a war crime the un the humanitarian. coordinator in jerusalem the director of hundred west bank office members of the diplomatic community n.g.o.s the palatino

dorothy it's been a. visit to the bed when but what are we supposed to do we are armed humanitarian aid workers we are you know the diplomatic community is a diplomat what are we to do in the face of an highly equipped army using bulldozers the demolition of the village had been approved by a court in may which said the settlement was illegal under israeli law israel plan to relocate the residents to an area twelve kilometers away. an activist from ramallah says people will continue to research the plan. whenever this is happened is going to be clashes people is going to stand up to give said they're not going to allow the evacuation of the people and destruction of their community we know that this is a crime against humanity this is this is i want to see and i want her and this is

autumn and we are going to defend it no matter what the price and this is a political decision and the or that is the main one to not just do it and displace the people that is there are another twenty four locations that are under thirty for expansion and displacement after. the upcoming summit between vladimir putin and donald trump has triggered a barrel of criticism from u.s. democrats but the american president doesn't seem overly bothered. and i might even end up having a good relationship but they're going where else. be prepared you know person in this case you get this you know what. we're all signed with people well i be but they're totally prepared i think the parents of this stuff my whole life they don't see. an addition to the recent comments from trump about the upcoming meeting we've seen republican senators visit

moscow ahead of the meeting now there was a response to those republican senators visiting moscow from various forces on social media among them prominent democrats. russians when you would a short board song repugnant as nails on the blackboard the enemies and then the bursaries attacking us. with trump praising putin to consume wriggly meeting him with g.o.p. lawmakers visiting mosco on july fourth with republican surrendering to russia soon britannic then no longer seems to be a question that the kremlin controls the g.o.p. but eight g.o.p. senators suspending july the fourth twenty eighteen in moscow preparing for his visit my working theory is the senate is making sure everyone knows exactly how putin likes to be serviced they also saw jim carrey the prominent and well known comedian getting on social media and seeming to insinuate that because this meeting may have taken place on july fourth that somehow this was an unpatriotic move and

urging people to register to vote now it's pretty clear that there are some forces in the united states that are quite optimistic about the upcoming meeting in helsinki however it seems also pretty clear that there are other forces that simply don't look forward to a possible thaw in tension between the two countries american lawyer and a journalist like glenn greenwald best known for the publishing of documents disclosed by will simple oh edward snowden a greenwald is currently here in moscow for a cyber security conference he says much of america's political class believes genuinely that russia is the number one enemy. there's an obsession in the united states with viewing russia not just as an adversary but as an actual anime it's permeated both political parties there's actually talk a lot now about how what they regard as the interference in the twenty six thousand election is similar to pearl harbor when the japanese attacked the united states

during world war two or al-qaeda and nine eleven and so there's this sense that russia is now an enemy on par with al-qaeda or the japanese during world war two russia is often talked about this way in the sense that any kind of connection with or interaction with russia is viewed as inherently suspicious or even worse and it's extremely dangerous and extremely toxic and it's one of the reasons why i decided to come here and this morning posted a picture of myself and snowden because i think it's very important to combat it too thanks for joining us here on r.t. and spending some of your saturday with us we are here with more.
