before the game began he had something special to show you as well. while i know you're thinking guys and the boy you were at the beach in order to gain perhaps well is simple enough this way and you'll see the stadium is actually right here it's only a pebbles throw away from the black sea in my mind it's the perfect location for a game of football never mind a world cup quarter final and i'd also say that ninety percent of those seats inside the forty five thousand seat arena will be taken by russians tonight because they have been flying into sochi by the planeload over the last couple of days and many of them are super confident to get their magical right in this world cup will continue with a victory over croatia at the saving for me you know what i'm not so sure i'll try to destroy how i'm failing see the stadium you can't miss it well according to the architects they do those two big white stands represent two snowy peaks but in my mind they are mere pimples compared to the mountain that russia has to climb tonight croatia unbeaten in this tournament so far they've beaten argentina at some

point three nil and also have the likes of luka majors don't name right occasionally it failed but we shouldn't be too disheartened because the sun has shone long and hard hasn't it on the underdog during this tournament so perhaps we can have another upset tonight i can say for sure that i discern has shown hard on sochi today it's been born about thirty degrees maybe more it's still about twenty five degrees now i know that both sets of fans are certainly being enjoying it they do like to be beside the sea but the big question is who will be the best side by the safe side tonight we'll find out soon enough. well people all around the country are in restaurants or unfound zones actually here in st petersburg we've seen thousands of people streaming in that direction and there are some actually people who probably haven't been able to get into the fan zone are here behind us what are the way of trying to get on the world our big screw that we have in the studio so hopefully will rise a bit more as well as really around you the latest. from the world cup also helping

everybody here to catch the game as well now can the host nation go any further that's the question russian fans are now asking some supporters to make pledges of what they'll do if the squad gets through to the semifinals. and was. basically. just a piece of just sort of the flow but this is you know station which you fill with the beautiful soup we simply chose not to mean that you will take it don't you think she's in the fico scores will still know it was will go. with the reds and you. can get the owner say yes in your smith and ladies but i sure will see one of the new stalls. shows more finished up he has

a shift of his to the station he just as part of that i see a bunch of bullshit now. to be live. and the fish did not feel that they will like teams to not anybody to do lunch is bored of this. stuff but if you whites were good as i might be other than all you see i see. he should also should look at least. his of us but. many promises and pledges that how about yourself. he's a know how to kick a competition about reached about seven hundred five. if russia when i'm going to practice every day every hour until i be east is east massive recall about you and then someone said kissing the first time i'm. talking about it i give that one a pulse what they were feared about serving the ball good maybe. try that one some

of the river here in the canal might be a. powerful told about fiber schools roads are all right to go i have confidence software when i don't spy. team russia in the quarterfinals performing something just shorts over america giving the fight to the mighty spain and eventually knocking it right out of the tournament that night russian fans rule . that. little gold became a thing after the two saves by the russian goalkeeper eagerly can fav in the final penalty shootout degree can fav 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. the churches have some astonish have become known here in russia as the mistah should hold 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. the russian fan

culture. to know that russia's traditional element of headwear. is in the. wind to happen. with the bald bald guy i have no idea i have no idea who out oh god that's that tricky stuff the fuck up i have this. you know what it is. it's this i mean yeah no it's actually this been done for girls it's called cautioning bush yes question is right on have you ever wanted to become a russian. i bought mine. just look so am i let's do this you you can kind of hold it till all the but you know that's not right yeah it is no different than. get the idea behind this goes.

here i'll be a little bit or a pretty. good case selfie time so yeah yeah perfect like a natural you look like a natural you have something to chew something out yeah we have something else you know the russian chico i don't know his last name but i know him by his face just bald would. there must indeed and what i have for you here. i'm just going to give you this. do you think that maybe you could hold it like this and say if you was pretend you were a russian coach which an english teacher in english if you feel the power of the stuff you hate he's here you know how forgive me have you at the moment give me the speech. you've got you've got to get better over going to search for we're going to cope or think we have all the fans here all or nothing come on it's your country is so torn you. did you make your own history come on good good brother she is right

that are really done in making everybody happy and not far away from the finals they need to work hard and i think the guys fully understand this and will do everything to make that happen because he's not to predict the results of today's match shine personally hope for a draw in penalty shoot out and at home be going back and play and performs miracles again. public relations are bringing brimming with confidence about picking up there when the country's president in fact she's been misspoken among the finds insults you buddy to give all of us support so that. last time i was here was in october to visit with president putin and it was a different kind of visit i hope to have fun today regardless of the restrictions of the protocol because when i cheer for the team i like to do it in the way that sometimes can deliver it in appropriate in the v.i.p. lounge sell it tonight i've been allowed to wear the national colors which is good the fifty five and the russian hosts allow that it makes me happy however of course i will have to sit in my chair and not do as. as i usually do we went to the fan

zone to watch your game with spain last time and we celebrated with your fans and the fact that we will be meeting each other tonight in sochi i think you have a great team i wish you a lot of luck and may the best team win i believe it's going to be croatia and i'm going to be cheering for croatia and i also have to congratulate you on the way that you have organized this championships because with the span id's you can not only move freely around but it allows for the level of security that i haven't experienced yet at any championships so congratulations russia. now the game is around twenty minutes into it still dollar sun quite sure funds clearly showing the president who's yes and that they will win the game.

was. the worst yes. so you think croatia can do it actually win the world cup to defense to the end i'm sure i'm sure we are going through an old team saying government is a special feeling you know it's going to be a tough game but nevertheless i'm convinced the price is going to those who knows you know it shows a month which course why. the team that wins the day russia or croatia will of course go on to face england in the semifinals that's off to the three lines beat sweden two nil got a bit of history those teams back in two thousand and eight of course it was cool you should have prevented england going through to the euros beating them three two at wembley and indeed england russia england beating russia three nil at home or losing two one back in moscow all the way back then scoring. penalty for two one

school and later going on to play in the premier league for tottenham so but it's history that whatever happens with those teams let's take a look at the highlights of what happened just about four hours ago. oh. wow. was your.

not crucial taking place currently for the hosts against croatia while on the way still goalless around twenty two minutes gone in that while fans of the three lions celebrating that win. sweden. and russia will be fighting to see who will join them in that second semifinal we'll have all the lysistrata coming hours including insights from neil harvey and his co-host peter schmeichel to say she's getting a bit of a run funds and. in

the lawns days of the soviet union people were full of hope and anticipation of the upcoming changes underground music by young musicians of the time captured the mood perfectly what was it like to live and make music in that atmosphere.

welcome back to the rest of the day's news the organization for the prohibit 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 teach science in duma yet the report also states no nerve agents or their degradation products were detected the o.p.c. w. has not yet reached a final conclusion about the allegations and its work is ongoing. the chemical attack in question was allegedly carried out in dumas on april seventh

a week later france the u.k. and the u.s. launched air strikes against syria accusing president assad of using chemical weapons against his own people the russian military experts on the ground fell to find any trace of chemical weapons use in duma but the attack by western powers went ahead regardless. chemistry professor james tour said the organic compounds the o.p.c. w. found at the site and not necessarily related to any nerve agents. it means what they found are just typical or gaining compounds that would be present from an industrial cylinder it has nothing to do with nerve agents or getting compounds around we're corsi to gas it and try to see the guess is 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 who work removal that has nothing to do with a chemical agent. some western media outlets were quick to react to the reports the

b.b.c. even claimed proof of the use of chemical weapons use had been found but they've since corrected the headline to reflect the fact the o.p.c. w. has yet to reach a conclusion back in april after the alleged attack u.s. officials were also may go to jump to conclusions. the united states has excellent intelligence gathering as we saw what happens 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 well james taylor also says he's been skeptical all along about whether that chemical attack ever took place. just looking at the the attack looking at the cylinders i knew that this was not a chemical weapons attack the very thing there may have been some cylinders that may have been exploded but those were typical industrial cylinders of common compounds they had nothing to do with a chemical weapons attack and that's why the report said that there are. no

chemical weapons agents were found at all whether they be the nerve agent or chemical agents or mustard agents none of the agents or the byproducts degradation products were found. well let's go back to the what is such a that when it takes all good retain russia and croatia first off on the way we're looking at twenty eight minutes gone the score still nil nil despite his chances for both sides. of the game is pretty much action packed from the very very first minutes as the russian goalkeeper. had to say russia's. i will bring you more updates on this game as we get. north korea has called high level talks with the u.s. led by secretary of state mike pompei

a regrettable the words are in stark contrast upon payors own view of the proceedings. we talked about what the north koreans are continuing to do and how it is the case we can get our arms around that she being what chairman kim and president proposed the great to which was the complete denuclearization of north korea we made progress on almost all of the central issues we were expecting the u.s. to come up with constructive measures to help build confidence in the spirits of reunion in talks however the attitude of the u.s. was indeed regrettable well as a result of that in the trial summit in singapore donald trump agreed to a number of points to provide security peace repatriate the bodies of american prisoners of war and help with north korea's denuclearization however he didn't tell her all that much in return we're not reducing anything we're not reduce very little bit early for that we have to get things moving the sanctions will remain in effect we will be stopping the war games unless and until we see that the future

negotiation is not going along like it should well antiwar activists prime back i believe they'll be no progress and that's the u.s. changes its host on approach to north korea. my pompei always bringing the negotiating position john bolton and mike pence to the negotiating table in pyongyang whereby the united states insists that d.p. r. k. north korea unilaterally surrender and then it may be perhaps the u.s. will change its policy of hostility and a policy whereby it uses economic sanctions to deprive north koreans of food and medicine if it then was my pompei was negotiating position that won't work for the d.p. r. k. and the p r k said it was regrettable that the us adopted this position this negotiating position but what that the p r k also said is that they still want

friendly relations with the united states and that the path to denuclearization in the korean peninsula think was a step by step confidence building and receptor equal synchronized approach by both sides would actually work that could want you for the short break . became this national camera. roughly once they showed some new play you for the. future uncool videos doing the woke up and someone with the broccoli string and. lying around more on string i don't rightly don't t.v. the corruption is everywhere in our no society we still have high redoubling employment and we see how they look out for me doing this you know especially in

the hinterlands so i would say that our success story is a house it's a story wants to be in because of how the sheaves the political game the political agenda but we didn't do that we didn't succeed in cheating the economy goes. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way was going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and a huge amount of pressure come out you have to go meet the center of the beach but tell we're with you and we will show you all the great the british you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the doll going let's go. alone. and i'm really happy to join the to follow up the thousand in the in the world cup in russia meet the special one it was also appreciated me to say the reno

theology team's latest edition to make up a bigger need to look. oh . welcome back and yes as you can probably tell by the band about me and if you can hear it in the studio there has been a goal in sochi as russia have taken the lead against croatia finished here to share the brilliant go it was a team goal is and it was a goal kick coming from ego i can favorite it looks like most of the russian midfielder linked up cherish it and took it out on his left foot curling into the top left hand corner of the goal absolutely brilliant to send the russian fans

completely wild who will be able to see in a minute when they go completely well trust me everybody else gave the studio did absolutely brilliant that mancini shove again so you could go for the russians the host nations lead and the winner this guy will face england in moscow next wednesday excited just. now the upcoming summit between vladimir putin and donald trump on july the twelfth has triggered a bunch of criticism from u.s. democrats but the american president doesn't seem of people that and i might even end up having a good relationship but they're going where else president truck be prepared you know person of pork in this case it just says that you know what put in stride. well signed with people well i believe but they are totally prepared i think the parents of this stuff my whole life they don't. want to dish and to the recent comments from trump about the upcoming meeting we've seen republican senators visit moscow head of the meeting now there was

a response to those republican senators visiting moscow from various forces on social media among them prominent democrats. russian swoon with the shopworn song repugnant as nails on the blackboard and a miss an attacking us but with trump praising putin talking to him regularly meeting him alone with g.o.p. lawmakers visiting moscow in july the fourth was republican surrendering to russia's cyber attack the no longer seems to be a question that the kremlin controls the g.o.p. but eight g.o.p. senators is spending july the fourth twenty eighteen in moscow terms 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 when american origin is glenn greenwald is best known for publishing the documents disclosed by the whistleblower edward snowden greenwald is currently in moscow for cyber security conference and he says much of america's political class truly believes 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 want to me it's permeated both political parties there's actually talk a lot now about how what they regard as the interference in the twenty sixteen 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 this morning posted a picture of myself and snowden because i think it's very important to combat that it too. at least one palestinian was killed and twenty four engine cheering for the process of the gaza border on friday the demonstrations were part of the already months long great march overturning witnesses say israeli soldiers i've been filing protest has approached the fence however israel says a militant trying to throw an explosive device at soldiers news of the border and the bomb exploded inside gaza and injured several kind of stimulant israel also

claims the islamic militant group hamas is funding the protests at least one hundred twenty five of those things have been killed by israeli gun from since the protests began to know much palestinians are demanding they be allowed to return to that point of people actually. care. but meanwhile the planned demolition of a bedouin village in the west bank has been suspended by an israeli court it follows scuffles between activists and police during the week was israeli also it has moved into bulldozers to the site. of that no no no no load was. protestors treated a human chain to prevent the equipment from entering the village commission's report of the last thirty five people injured the palestinian journalist syndicate claims israeli soldiers also happen to send to the un in various rights groups have all come out against an emission spokesperson for the un relief agency the palestinian refugee who says the plan may violate international law. things i'm

a bit of absolutely terrifying the bedouin 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 motives that consent is not considered genuine in an environment marked by the use of threat of physical force coercion fear of violence old us so the position is very clear what we may be witnessing could be a grave breach of the fourth day of the convention and it may amount to a war crime the un the humanitarian coordinator in jerusalem the director of under its west bank office members of the diplomatic community n.g.o.s the power to north or to that's been oppressed for a whole visit to the bed when built what are we supposed to do we are arms

humanitarian aid workers we are you know the diplomatic community is diplomats what are we to do in the face of a highly equipped army using bulldozers. well the demolition of the village had been approved by a court in may which said the settlement was illegal under israeli law israel plans to relocate the residents to an area twelve kilometers away activist jamal juma says people will continue to resist 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 our rights to say and i want a hand and this is our land we are going to defend it no matter what the crisis this is a political decision and you know that israel want to not just to evacuate and displace the people have had a lot more about that is there are another twenty four locations that.
