the u.k. says one woman exposed to the nerve agent in the uk this week has died and another person still remains in a critical condition. croatia joining the and france and belgium in the world cup semifinals after adding a nailbiting panel as a shootout against hosts russia. this by the laws russia fans a celebrated long end to the knights and gave their team a hero's welcome back in moscow after they defied old expectations to reach the lust a. watching

that we can see here on our national welcome to the program. the u.k. government says a woman who was exposed to the nerve agent. in england has now died and hospital. brings us the latest. well we know that door instead who was exposed to the nerve agent named spree has now died in hospital in scotland yard's police have now launched a men's inquiry now charlie valley remains in a critical condition still soulsby district hospital but the head of the u.k.'s counter-terrorism policing has said that this is shocking and tragic news and that their thoughts and prayers are with the family at this extremely difficult time the u.k. prime minister to reason may has also spoken about this and she's that the she's appalled and shocked by the death of dawn stages now initially it was thought that the couple came into contact with contaminated drugs but counterterrorism police

did confirm that the nerve agent was not the chalk now it's not the first time we've heard that the nerve agent know each other before it's been over four months now since you are in sick a script poisoned by the name of agents they managed to recover from its attack and it was only eight miles down the road in salt spray where that incident happened but this investigation is still on going although the u.k. pointed its fingers that russia there was no concrete evidence and russia continually denied that they had anything to do with the attack but we can now give you a quick update on the entire case so far two people being exposed to the right to tell the truth no but shock it remains deadly for long periods exposed to the nerve agent know which. you want to know is are you safe do you have to do anything is your family going to

be safe is it going to be a certain a scale ation we are going to rebuild bridges. for you or your poor children we're there at the very you're very very rigid being took to the. money name out nice job with the starbucks no funny little money just brushing against. those red brick. you know victrola which has been identified as the safe. contaminates approach so.

it is now time that the russian state comes forward and explains exactly what is going on you know the all for is still there to the russian state to try the systems to tell us what happened former u.s. diplomat jim janitress thing said stime for the u.k. government to share old information it has sown both snuffy child cases. well to start with my reaction it's really terribly unfortunate this woman has has died and i certainly hope that the other victim pulls through let's remember of course that sergei screwball and his daughter yulia did recover from this after they were whatever this is after they were pronounced by the british media evidently with information from the british authorities that they were virtually gone or suddenly they're alive well and incommunicado nobody knows where they are so instead of just putting more fingers or releasing partial information with the implication that these two people were poisoned with some kind of residue from the first attack how

about we get a real explanation of what happened in that first attack starting with the people involved i did the first thing i would do if i were a british citizen is demand that their government completely tell what they actually know. russia has the nine to any involvement to what the navi chalk incidents after the first poisoning case in march moscow reached out to london went off for a self copper ration despite many questions still to be and sorry to sound sections self the western media have been quick to accuse russia as are more i've got c.f. explains. could putin have really done it ordered secret agents to poison 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 blood 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 though 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

a snuff edge and not the chalk is russia how did you manage to find it out so quickly look at the the evidence from the people from from porton down they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy so i said are you sure and he said there's no doubt 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 german program which is that. told us in. no uncertain terms that this was a military grade. they knew what it is not the business of important and i don't 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 britain's accusations which 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. on march the fourth was reckless and callous there is no cause of 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 who can guess what comes next. other news now thailand's

navy seals have confirmed four boys have now been rescued from the group of twelve and their football coach trapped in a cave in the north of the country for over two weeks the rescue operation was scheduled to resume on monday. when this operation a council. should be. more than twenty. just like today. i'm more confident. with. their group have been and the complex june twenty third after have the rains and rising waters walk their route out they were found nine days after they went missing authorities have processed food for it with the rescue operation and it fears the approaching season could cause water levels to rise and the group could be trapped for months meanwhile and

the other rescue operation was launched in thailand this week after a boat carrying chinese tourists saying cat on thursday evening forty one people of the one hundred five on board were confirmed dead fifteen are said to be still missing bad weather was blamed for the incident. the u.s. declaration of independence has fallen foul of social media censorship facebook program designed to stamp out hate speech deleted parts of the document caliph explains the facebook algorithm has been removing content that is deemed to be racist or offensive not even the us declaration of independence has escaped the crusade against hate speech check out this not so frequently quoted grievance against the british empire back in seventeen seventy six that was recently removed from the site. he has excited domestic insurrections amongst us and has endeavored

to bring on the inhabitants of our front two years the merciless indian savages whose known rule of warfare is undistinguished destruction of all ages sexes and conditions no one thought twice about phrases like merciless indian savages back in seventeen seventy six but nowadays it's not exactly considered to be polite vocabulary however facebook sent an apology to the newspaper that posted it and overturned its ban so perhaps it's now ok so that too abrasive for a public forum you can't go and talk talk about the people but i think you can say your own opinion that's why we have freedom of speech you'll be teaching soon language use even the most this might be the see i'm all about freedom of speech so if it's than people don't want to read it they don't have to you know where that comes from where that's from the declaration of independence really wow wow amazing but i feel like we've evolved from a place. as far as

a society of how we think about each other in our backgrounds from when the declaration was written babies who are here and in today's language should be a little bit more neutral facebook incident fits a pretty common trend in recent us politics americans just aren't sure how to deal with their own history and twenty eleven congressional republicans made a big show of reading the u.s. constitution aloud however they had to remove some key passages that were a little offensive you know things like african-americans constituting three fifths of a human being statues of george washington and thomas jefferson are now being desecrated because let's not forget they own slaves now statues of christopher columbus who slaughtered native americans are facing a similar rebuke george washington was a slave owner i don't care if it's a george washington statue or a thomas jefferson statue or robert e. lee statue they all need to come down come haven't had slaves and i would repeat. should not pay poll somebody. we have had that kind of background that shows the

absurdity of speech codes all together this whole idea that that words are violence and that just a false construct i think it's always ok to question your history but what the problem where we get off the rails as we like to say is when you try to apply today's standards to yesterday's standards and try to protect people from words if the words call for violence directed violence we ban those if the words are just offensive leave it alone let free speech reign. and now a review of this weekend's the world cup action though the host nation lost out on spot kicks to croatia festivities here in moscow went on loan into saturday night the russian team has since returned from saatchi and been on stage at the found zone near the luzhniki study on where they think the fans for their support.

ah ah. ah. ah. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. that was my. well i'm here has the show welcomes back their heroes they may have gone out on

penalties to croatia but they'd be one hell of a kid to most no one has to say today to one it will. be the head coach on the subject yourself to a nice bug this whole crowd failing deathly silence he's a monster you still pay you in russia has gone through the roof because this wasn't a team that was expected to do anything this was a team that was expected to go out in the opening round so what he produced and what they created was a team that has really cool the cots and minds of the russian people as we look at the i must say to you doing the chant to so then sequoia doing the if we look at the the big man up top i love the big model top but we look at it zuba he has really risen in my opinion driven not so much interested in russian produce well the timing of the sidelines telling the funds they got up and supposed to. one of

those memories that will always stay with me. the banner by the team were there we played for you and was much appreciated by the fans on saturday night though there was a roller coaster of emotions across russia during that last eight game as the host nation were knocked out on penalties by croatia hawkins and the sally witnessed all the drama from our special football studio instant pietists back. i have. a. few pieces like see the well wherever you watching us from that i am very well thank you from football like you here in russia small caps about that i will continue with the sally how about last night what a roller coaster of emotions we went through during the match between russia and

palatial we had a bit of a crowd with us head on didn't we in palace square and all of us the current career included got a little bit wild few of the one who was the live b.s. . and those scenes here were no exception to anything going on around the country apart from those lucky fifty thousand or so who had tickets to the such a stadium millions were watching the game glued to their screens not just here in the host country but also in croatia. i had. a

half. ago i was who who he was was was was was. was. certainly had a thrilling charge time of it fighting spirit every minute of the game it seems one one off the normal time it was to extra time the players giving their all all their emotions all the energy on the football field let's i want to leave the table obvious that sheriff goal. is the rocket goal open the school rink crowbars replies one minutes before croatia taking the lead with that fun and there's equalizer set

in the crowd here absolutely. crazy or it wasn't it was a quiet motion you see and it was disappointing a little bit that russia couldn't just keep it tight keep it together for ten minutes and initially they had to drop back so called hawking the boss which is what you're supposed to do manage the game but i feel maybe if you understood out of this we've discussed there's something called something a bit of self can see just before half time and then you know they can see we looked at each other and said you know if they're going to get back into this and then i'll pop fernandez to make amends for the error but it was a really really they showed a lot of fight in the heart of russia i think on the balance of things like ration did have some sort of a very good chances to kill the game off on the on they gave it their all as well the players at the end you know some muscular injuries are mentioned muscle crowd are going to find it very tough against england but they certainly deserve you know a shot at getting at the final that's got the teamwork they've got the individual

talent the moderate is rockish is my magic it should cetera they're going to give england a real run for their money i do feel they are and i think you mentioned. what you said before the tournament finds. they have a chance but i think they're going to have to manage the team really just because last night was really draining on the bench and so close to those penalty kicks the second game they've had to take to kind of now. of course all over for the russians croats marshawn know they face england in the semi file in england i feel haven't really had to get out of second or third gear they're not really been challenged to the point where you think crikey they're going to lose are going to be knocked out of plays some beautiful football against on the favorites in argentina among them this is going to be quite an interesting game and i think so i think in the we'll go into that feeling very confident we've been saying all along since in the last to belgium in the group stage and came second day on the so-called easiest side of

the draw and by you know seeing how it shapes up they played colombia it went to penalties it was difficult but really they deserved to go that route the jinx at least a group of jake's a one panel to send them a beat sweden yesterday with those goals won the wire and then you had me and then after that you look at it and you say well they play a team again across a shitty who are probably better technically but may be shrugging with fitness and you know being tired and fatigued as well and so england are playing that game against sweden you know we can see those goals now actually they were in control of the game with girls coming from so b.c. a corner for me and always the coming in maguire jumping up off the fence top right hand corner of their lives the first goal is first goal and fight for the international team finds a match they're going crazy as if they won the world cup and this other set piece for delhi out he's got plenty of time plenty of space does a few steps towards the goal on log those past three defend the swedish defense

free fall asleep there was a bit of a softball to be offside trap and finds england in ecstasy heartbreak for the swedes of course they've done so well so you get us now found support is of course a huge factor in any games and even fans who made it out to russia now urging their fellow english men to do the same. with the team sixty six. pulled off. the full funny view of oil i want to go to the world cup just the thing you need to go see you want to go to and so i actually go that is it's surreal so walk out and

there's a huge stadium full of fun politicos i didn't fly and lots of other noises well. yeah. but it's to be honest the main thing i was worried about was the alphabet because i can't touch understand anything. absolutely miles unless i need to put my head post faster than just say my name for well three tries. but then everyone speaks english i was very friendly . wolf and so i got to go to russia so the missing out on one of the best things you get and you are really. very welcoming. place friendly and. great food and yes to the fire and i said mr allen.

last fall on the his front legs wife thinks he's going to fish if. no one is going to and it's a really long fishing trip almost bald cop has been saw for example as well as promote some tension across the big media social media platforms while this one english shout out final blogger spencer wrote he's been going many followers with his coverage of the tournament on. benches in russia. since the road clearly clash between russia and spain we showed off to the game.

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 with man 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 english. i must say that one of the things i love 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 i have to say it's been amazing and yeah i've gotten zero complaints i just hope more people that can come out. we had that golden generation before as we called it in. these great players the stephen generals the front paws the way it 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 rule or. being a team of individuals and auti what we have now seems much more like that you know

i think we've got managing to me included a lot of people were skeptical as to whether he was going to have the experience of the know how to get over them we've begun but most importantly he's the rock on a 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 don't go into the expectations often that's one of the key reasons for doing well and we had a good group the group for us to oppose it was tough but we had two teams in panama no disrespect to them. that we were able to get wins against and i guess and so. no question saturday was for the high drama for the fans well that seems. bored. you. was. the few.

the was that was was you. was. was. ok this is how the semifinal is shaping up england will face away shot in moscow on wednesday it was the cross of course that not england will stop thinking of going to the two thousand and eight euros likely a bit of a grudge match that cross played just the day before right here in st petersburg hoping to speak the name of belgium it will promises to be a real crock off

a game we'll be covering. all the action on and off the pitch at the world cup will be with the again soon. to. be. excuse. this is our team. national well we'll be back with more out the top of the hour.

you can.
