series is the militia bashing is not an item but the smiley really fortunate got you so much english was nashik the monday next commanded by c i'm allowed to let it get that. i didn't really remove him with the disown so what is the other subliminal easily so when i post game interview in russian striker. said the team hope the country was proud of them. down off was on a cold sky a street of moscow's found central people pretty happy despite the mess. it has been a nail biter of a game and a lot of dreams are being shattered tonight and i have to apologize to every week. my voice. there is still very very hot here. actually screaming we've been one

with the ones because they feel like they have won the game again what's a nail biter over game two johns one one in the main time and then you can just tell you. who will win in the fissionable time. gracious. go in your shoes mario for not curing in their cool eyes the second half additional time and the same mario fernandez that missed the penalty in the final shoot out for everything you gained you have to pay the money with a lot of prayers yeah what do you what do you say you have pushed the game i mean i'm going to try and bring in the game this is this is what can you say yes it's a big it's a big it's of wonderful want to prove. it's a wonderful work the other thing was. people ask me the russian fans they're so

happy with the performance of their team after rule they've given them everything that they could ever hope for playing in the quarterfinals of the world cup this is something that russia hasn't done in force used that every single russian found they did not lose their faith until the last strike until the last case by the grace of play and that either i can favor the russian goalkeeper did not manage to say but again not a single russian found they have anything to say against the russians will keep or eager i can fade because after the game with spade he is a star he's a hero of the russian nation over the sports and of croatia will face and glint in the semifinals of the luzhniki stadium here in moscow on wednesday that's after the three lions beat sweden to mail in samarra there are the highlights. of the.

only. i. must of course fan support is huge and well just about any game and england fans who have made it out to russia are now in the compactor it's to do the same.

with the teams you see. something and pasted it off. that's a problem when you go for your life lines go to the world cup that's the thing you need to go do you want to go to and so actually go that it's just surreal he said walk out and there's a huge stadium full of families politicos i didn't fly and lots of other noise as well lou. watch it to be honest maybe i was worried about was the alphabet and because. i'm trying to sign anything. back. they absolutely miles in my past i'm going to put my head goes faster than just saying well free tries to act but then everyone speaks english i was very friendly. little fans so i

don't go to russia so the missing one of the best thing to get it in you are for a ways to push and it's play well give me a fight friendly and went ok great food and yesterday kyra and i said i'm in town. let's. let. you know we spoke to a popular english you tube blogger spend so who shared his impressions of the walcott. i've done everything off in flying off and on trains of stayed in hotels i've stayed in apartments we've had absolutely zero issues in terms of the people we've met in fact it's been the the other way i'd say people have been so friendly and welcoming to the english and not just the english the whole world and i. must say that one of things i love about the world cup is

the different kind of cultures you come into contact with and for everything i've seen a said that the russians have welcomed that of open arms so i have to say it's been amazing and yeah i've gotten zero complaints i just hope more people that can come out i had to. we had that golden generation before us recordings you know these great players of the state in general in the front line poznan way really is no doubt this squad on paper was one of our strongest ever but it didn't really perform and whether that was because of pressure or all us being a team of individuals and naughty what we have now seems much more like that you know i think we've got managing our southgate who me included a lot of people were skeptical of at first as to whether he was going to have the experience the know how to get off further than we've paid but most importantly he's the right kind of character that we need to do right now and he's found a way of making these young players joe an easy young team is one of the youngest teams ever one of the youngest things at this world cup as well so we didn't go into the expectations often that's one of the key reasons for doing well and we had a good group the group frustrated it was tough but we had two teams into the

teacher in panama no disrespect to them that we were able to get wins against and asking us to mention. thank. light for many. so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch but the final school it's about the pressure. and from the fans it's the age of the super money killian erroneous and spending triggered a twenty million fly. it's an experience like nothing else only because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy great so what more chance for. peace.

in the last 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 to the program britain has been rocked by a second alleged case of nerve agent exposure since march and the now notorious name of the substance not the chalk has led some to jump to conclusions. the two people have been exposed to the right to know what you know but shock it

remains deadly for long periods exposed to the nerve agent no big chunk. he went to the safety you have to do anything is your family going to be safe is that going to be a fail safe school ation we are watched every notice because you. know you know you are but children here and there are other parents and you live right here and you know it was being checked and like. many name out. there when you start acting all funny it wasn't much use them brushing against. those who read for a. nerve

agent. which has been identified as the savior of agent it contaminates if both of you do so. it is now time that the russian state comes forward and explains exactly what has gone on you know the all for is still there to the russian state to try and assist us to tell us what happened in the russia how strongly denied any involvement after the first poisoning case which happened in march moscow reached out to london with numerous offers of cooperation with so many unknown is on the story one thing is for sure though the british media have been have. a field day accusing russia as artie's explains. putin have really done it ordered secret agents to poison a random drug addict and his homeless girlfriend with

a lethal nerve agent all in the middle of a flawless world cup with billions watching russia yeah he could if you watch t.v. enough espionage and intrigue once again striking this sleepy corner of england that may have been left by the assailants who attacked the script files either it was left there during the preparation or after that attack russian intelligence was behind this but the fact is glad amir putin has flat out denied it he's refused to cooperate with britain. and if we don't we simply don't know how many more people can be can come into contact with this think about it it makes perfect sense a drug addict picks up no one quite knows what next he does something no one seems to know what the suddenly he's in hospital for almost

a week being treated for what no one knew what with this much evidence how could you not blame russia it could only have been putin just like it was last time you argue that their source of. edge and not the chalk is russia how did you manage to find it out so quickly look at the the evidence when the people from from portland they were absolutely categorical i asked the guy so i said are you sure and he said there's no dark we have not verified the precise source so to be clear you're not able at porton down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that i was being very clear i thought i was being very clear to. the. the german program which is that. told us in absolutely no uncertain terms that this was a military grade. they knew what it is not the

business of important and i denied it to know whether it's even possible for them to identify the origin in all seriousness it's an interesting narrative we have going here last time britain's accusations were seemingly founded on a highly likely assessment therefore it's highly likely that it's highly likely that it's all russia's fault the decision taken by the russian government to deploy these souls on march the fourth was reckless because there is no causal alternative explanation to the events in march other than the russian state was responsible we have already seen multiple explanations from state sponsored russian media regarding this latest incident we can anticipate further disinclination from the kremlin as we saw following the source where we've come full circle they sat there for months ago making the same claims something happens accuse russia

arguments collapse then quiet something happens again straight away they accuse russia guess what comes next i think too much of the media seems to believe that it's national duty patriotic duty to parrot the government line on this when the government line has been contradictory but not contradicted by the media itself has been so many holes in the story i think we see much of the media is too willing to accept too much which is unproven and in flat contradictions of everything that looks like consensus there's a claim that russia would want to use the these events sporting events in russia as screens but for what for attacking two random people in some small town in in england as if. the russian government all. putin has got better things to do than to go around making mischief in some obscure regional town in some unfortunately relatively obscure country it's absurd all its tenets.

the french are so if you have not seen four days of violent clashes between protesters and police who resorted to using tear gas riots started after the alleged killing of a young man by a police officer. when you don't want to go through this you just hear we asked him to park his car and accompany the offices to the station when the driver began reversing hits a riot policeman and then another officer opened fire. feasible this is now given a new version of events he says that he actually tried to lean into the car to grab the steering wheel and try to stop the maneuver in the ensuing tussle the shot was

accidently fired and fatally hit the driver. people should look our fellow citizens one to know exactly and legitimately what happened and i want to state here then of course that is what happened. for the first time a poll conducted by public opinion consultants and gallup has found that less than half of those surveyed in the us said they were extremely proud to be americans. and reports the fourth of july i mean. independence day a time for barbecue fireworks and celebrating the old stars and stripes. to see.

what is the patriotic impulse dying among americans a new poll shows that not all americans are swelling with national pride the poll indicates that less than half of americans actually say that they're extremely proud of their country and that's with donald trump playing up us exceptionalism we're going to make america you make america great again great again are you planning to celebrate the fourth of july this year actually i'll be working as i am sure there's every day comp by an easygoing whole came out this year and when asked if they were proud of their country extremely proud of their country only forty seven percent of americans said yes that's less than half what do you make of that poll. i saw that i don't understand i'm in that the other category i am extremely proud and now we look so bad in court towards other

countries where looking towards us and saying that we look so separated now instead of being united i suppose it's about trump mainly really it's just just simply the president. what else i think you get at center is not a political. football happening just faith in leadership to really come down to what i think deep down the numbers probably higher what people may feel a grudge about certain political you know swings these days used to be that once a year americans put aside their political differences and marched behind the american flag is one on independence day however this year it seems that partisan political differences are impacting how americans feel about the festivities mopp and archie. new york. a group of music fans may have unwittingly developed a way to evade facial recognition tools frequently used in police surveillance the

so-called juggalos are fans of the hip hop duo insane clown posse who are known for sporting an elaborate style of facial makeup but now a tech researcher claims that the face paint could potentially disrupt algorithms used by facial recognition software here's how he explains it fish recognition generally relies on looking for a few different teachers he usually knows. this make up actually kind of replaces the jar linus was a few other large features which makes it very difficult to match it to other regular basis most of the techniques to avoid facial recognition undersell are generally quite drastic obvious cations such as a mask or anything which completely hides the face is going to be most i don't think that these technologies to avoid official recognition will be used for crime right away this kind of science has come under fire before from rights groups who say it's being used by the authorities not only to catch criminals but also to spy on laura biding citizens and here's

a gun. i think that picture recognition technology has some very useful applications especially for rainforest men but i could potentially be used maliciously such as we not sort of hospitals to sell this information was there to insurance companies or other things which might be more morally questionable i think they're absolutely consequences to how to be sure recognition technology is being used as important to make sure that we still continue to develop and understand this technology but people should be aware of how this data is being gathered what it's used for and potentially how to avoid it but it may be better to limit the sort of online exposure you have and social media even if you can't prevent people who are recognizing your face you can limit what they can do with that information this is r.t. thanks for joining us with more. aggression

is everywhere in our house and so i thought we still have been employment and we still have a lot of bitterness you know especially in the hinterlands so i would say that success stories have success story once again because they have achieved the putting to gave the political objective but we didn't do that we didn't. succeed in achieving this economy go. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies to me to be. alone even if i called in a guest elsewhere they invite private companies to take over the utilities anybody tell us that all. of us you guys who got on the pier might be cool. just because. of what you value but the left. locals are ready to stand up for the

basic human right of access to water it's about water but it's also over toward a more it's about to hurt. and the redistribution of color was worse. downwards before the war. for. talent welcome to pull it apart it's hard to find a more drab and more romantic period in the history of the soviet union then in the nineteen eighties lie face people knew it was falling apart and the yet there was also a growing hope that something new and exciting would rise in its place that sense

of cognitive and emotional dissonance was perfectly captured by the on the ground music of the time produced by young nonconformist musicians in what was down the c.d.o. flooding what was it like to leave and make music in die period of cold full despair well to discuss that i'm now joined by john a stingray an american musician and an avid chronicler of the leningrad rock scene john it's so good to talk to you thank you very much for your time thank you for inviting me now you have a very interesting a very unusual and i think is a somewhat through mantic story you came to the soviet union for just one the week you called but it is big one of our biggest rock stars on his landline and he just showed you around is that how it all began that is how it all began a friend of mine her older sister was married to a russian emigre when he heard i was going to visit russia and he knew i was a rocker in los angeles he said you need to call boroscope inch cock he's the most famous underground rocker in russia he's like the bob dylan of russia i didn't

believe there was any rock in russia but i thought ok i'll go and meet him because how cool he think it will be to meet me that i. i'm an american rocker and i met him and we sat we're at seventh goggles apartment and i played them a couple of songs off an e.p. album i had released here in the states and morris thought it was very cool and it was a little bit punk and he liked it and i i felt very proud and then i said oh can i hear something of yours and we put in a cassette and i put my headphones on and i started to hear one of his songs that was called tonight and it was so hunting and and just brilliant and powerful that i started to slink in my chair because i realized i was in the presence of somebody very important and that i was just this silly girl from los angeles very naive. and that he was the real rocker said that that moment changed my whole life and correct me if i'm wrong but i think you were twenty four years old at the time cali girl in drab soviets reach was i feeling in oxymoron the

source but and even bigger paradox was how this doll soviet reality was able to produce something that was so free spirited and so genuine as the leningrad proxy how do you yourself explain that phenomena you know it was incredible and of course our first three and a half days was in moscow where we didn't know anybody so we were on the usual tours with the group and we looked around and even though there were some interesting things the same basis because the two own things it looked very cold people didn't look happy they were wearing dark colors they were all rushing through the streets and i thought wow this is this this is not a great place you know i would never come back again what i found out later when i went to leningrad and met bourse is that behind closed doors russian people were exactly like people all over the world and they were full of color and they were full of expression and full of creativity i was in off by the whole art scene the arts and the music scene in leningrad because nobody in america was aware this

could possibly be happening in russia we were so. frayed of the soviet union at that time and that's why it just opened my eyes and that's what led to me deciding that i needed to bring this music and photos and videos of these bands to the u.s. to open up the eyes of all of the other people the united states because it really was something we we were not aware at all that was taking place there now rock musicians all over the world are a pretty rowdy bunch i wonder how they react to you and your interest in them you know i think there were europeans that had come in and had met boris before so he had met foreigners but i think what was different was with me is after i met boris on that first trip and was taken by all of it and i said i'm going to come back what can i do can i bring your equipment i think that he and seven. kind of had a feeling of course she says she's going to come back but she's not going to because i think many people before me westerners came in and said the same thing

that they wanted to come back i think what surprised boris and everybody else is that i did come back and i kept coming back and i kept coming back every three months and i kept bringing them equipment and and that's why i got the nickname back then is the tractor the american tractor because i think they were amazed at how i could get things done that when i became passionate about something and had an idea i would make it happen from what i remember at least in the late soviet years america was strongly romanticized in russia it was literally perceived as the as a land of freedom so much so that. if another famous leningrad musician wrote this song goodbye america about parting ways with those youthful your dreams i wonder if you ever felt that you were in some way an unofficial ambassador for the mystical america you know what's interesting it wasn't so much the rockers because again i think they got from from the black market or other places they got music

articles everything from the west but i think. what was interesting was that the average russian people that i would meet through them would all say oh oh we want to be like american had that romantic wish i want to be free like america and i was telling them then in the eighty's you guys don't understand the price americans pay to be free and i would explain to them that most americans had a thirty year mortgage because you would try to buy a house a thirty year mortgage that would basically make you in handcuffs because if you have a mortgage where you have to pay for thirty years it means you have to make money so i was trying to deflate that romantic vision because it wasn't so perfect i mean america is amazing and it's a free country but we do pay a high price for that freedom what i saw in russia even though they didn't have a lot of freedoms in one sense because they didn't have all of the financial burdens of paying every month for an apartment or house and paying

a lot of money for the electricity and for the water they they felt like to me it felt like they had more time to do what interests them on the creative side every other person i met in leningrad whether they they weren't one of the main musicians was an artist or was a poet everybody seemed to have some time to spend on on their creative outlet and i think a lot of times in america back then even now we're so focused on our jobs to make money to pay the bills that we don't have time for i guess what you could call a hobby if people have artistic hobbies that they would like to do you know like everything in the world there's good and bad about everything and being in the soviet union showed me a lot of things that was great about where i live in america and it showed me a lot of things that i wish would be different in fact sometimes they were in the two streams and i got boy the perfect life must be some kind of country that was sort of in the middle of the way america and russia was well you know it's easy to

remend to size a country that you have never visited and in fact the song that i mentioned goodbye america. which road and nine hundred eighty five i think just one year after your first visit the soviet union he speaks if it please as the none of us have been there and we have sort of started growing out of our all jean simply because you know our youth was coming into contact with reality and as i was researching for this program. i was struck by one paradoxical thought and i wonder if it's actually true but it seemed to me that for you a very rare person but still for you that dahl soviet reality was also to some extent that place where you found that freedom because russians do not think about the later years of the soviet union in that sense but to me it seemed that they are actually found imaginative or imaginary a place where where it where you felt alive and free was that accurate.
