versus. coming to you live from the russian capital you're watching our team for national welcome to the program. the u.k. government has been hit by three high profile resignations the latest was bar is johnson has stepped down in protest against reasons manes plan for a post brax a deal with the e.u. . johnson has now published his resignation letter online brags it should be about opportunities but he claimed the dream is dying suffocated by needless self-doubt he also said the country is heading towards a semi bragg's it and the status of a colony or he. has more on the story. the u.k.

prime minister to resign may faced a tense meeting with tory m.p.'s and peers in parliament today as she was hoping to try and get control of his cabinet admits all the infighting in her leadership is a huge risk out the moment the infighting surrounds that maze idea for a facilitator customs arrangement that's her plan about securing a trade deal once the u.k. leaves the e.u. next march two thousand and nineteen now the reason praxiteles are angry is because the current plan has been quoted as being a soft breakfast and closely aligned with the rules and may's having trouble balancing her cabinet at the moment and this is what has led to resignations these past twenty four hours but the foreign secretary boris johnson who is an influential figure the face in fact of the vote to leave campaign in two thousand and sixteen well he was meant to give a press conference at the western balkan summit in london but downing street put out a statement saying to reason they have accepted his resignation to resume

a speaking in parliament today thanks boris johnson for his work but this is how they reacted but i want to recognize the work of the former secretary of state for exit in the european union to recognise the passion that the former foreign secretary demonstrated. to him for marching. in from zero in to of the arms she really atmosphere was all i want to hear about these important matters she was saying was true to the prime minister thank you for the soul the foreign sector demonstrated in promoting the global britart of the world as we lead the european union but despite the eruptions of loftus reason a spokesperson said the government is not in a meltdown he said that there's no question of revisiting the position agreed on in checkers on friday but meanwhile jeremy cool been the leader of the labor party has mocks may's claim that she's restored cabinet responsibility to years on general

sixteen months on from articles. bring triggered it's only this weekend the cabinet managed to agree on the goal surely was assuring. us. forty eight hours corbin says that he understands why ministers did not resign on friday because their phones were moved they would have lost their calls because of government cuts and there would be no bus services but there were also reports that m.p. said that they were on standby just in case ready to put companies up if they did resign on friday but in the past twenty four hours we've also seen the resignation of david davis the secretary which also led to his number two resigning following his example well he said the reason they had given away too much too easily when he resigned on sunday evening but the resignations of two of the cabinets most senior ministers leaves to reason made cabinet now in a tenuous position. former london mayor ken livingstone told us that he has never

sent british politics and such disorder the simple fact is i can't ever recall time in my life when the politics of the british government has been in such chaos and with complete impossibility to try and understand where we'll be in three months or six months or next year will the government survive if we don't know will we actually vote to leave we don't know literally i've never known such an uncertainty in all my time in politics and frankly i suspect it could be a huge impact on our economy what foreign corporation is going to be thinking of investing in britain when all of this is helping me and there is no one person on either side who can unite the tory party around this issue i am the most divisive issue and it takes me back to the nineteen nineties when i then tory prime minister john major who was trying to preside over a tory party to be divided in parliament whether or not we should join the common

currency and at the end of his you had a labor landslide and i think most property trees and money may live in palm till the next general election but that could be later this year i i think looking at the mess in the tory party now it's much more likely that it will be jeremy corbyn as a labor prime minister who will then negotiate a better deal with the. meanwhile the u.k. government emergency committee has been holding a meeting over a poisoning incident and amesbury a woman along with her partner were exposed to the navi child nerve agent and she died on sunday evening political analyst dana glazebrook things that the government is using they can't says a distraction to two reasons really so one obviously has to distract from its own chaos with the brits process resignations and so on it's of wales. changing the focus shifting the attention away from their own incompetence or. the

other answer i think is is is is the they'll never miss an opportunity to demonize and vilifying and denigrate russia and here is just such another opportunity and especially during the hosting of the world cup this is something that the british government has been very angry and upset about that the russia is hosting the world and making a decent job of it. the u.k. home secretary has been also briefing parliament on the latest incident in amesbury official still can't say whether the agent came from the same batch as the one used and marched poisoning of a former russian double agent and his daughter and the nearby city of souls very nerve agent that's been used in this incident is the same as the march the fourth incident but we have not the scientists have not been able to identify or determine

if it is the same passion it may well be but at this point that is not know the story certainly taken a very serious new turn with the news of the passing away don sturgis one of the two people that was affected in this so-called second poisoning incident she was forty four years old and she had passed away on sunday evening and now that this has happened it's clear to understand that the investigation is going to be expected to be much more vigorous and certainly are stronger language is going to be needed than the one we've seen so far along the lines of most likely while the investigation is still continuing with lots of questions still around about where and how this couple could have potentially contaminated themselves we've heard that the working theory so far is that they came in contact with some kind of contaminated object and of course lots of questions there about how that. could have happened given the millions and millions of pounds spent on d.

come into contact nation work in souls this is not stopping some officials in the u.k. including the u.k. defense minister to still continue to drag russia into the story the simple reality is russia has committed an attack on british soil which is seeing the dead sea so there is something because i think the world will unite with this in actually. getting williamson's claim that russia has something to do with the death of dawn sturges is just the same old mantra russians did it could you perhaps come up with something new and proper in careful investigation for instance well if you keep in mind gavin williamson was british politician who really raised eyebrows not just in russia but also here in the u.k. when it came to this whole scandal when he said that russia should shut up and go away so in this particular case what could be seen as a somewhat premature reaction seems to be followed by some british politicians as

well as journalists here in westminster time to send a clear message to putin about chemical weapons relegate the remaining games of the world cup to elsewhere in europe and also indifference to collateral damage is one of the whole blocks of the putin regime and its extraterritorial operation. so you did know that you don't sturgis has done this was a murder of a british citizen as a result of use of chemical nerve agent bread used by the russian state now certainly just to remind our viewers this is been a story that has been going on for over four months now following the so-called original poisoning of sergei script and his daughter who are now well and recovered following quite some time at the hospital but they have been discharged and their whereabouts and current condition seems to be kept well under wraps and now with this latest poisoning that can certainly be described as extremely unexpected not

least so by the british government that has been really pushing to some extent so hard this narrative of russia having been behind the script poisoning which of course russia has denied throughout this whole time it is quite safe to assume that some very serious facts are going to be having to be produced especially given this death and of course the consequences of that this whole saga has had on the ties between russia and the u.k. . the german chancellor angela merkel has signaled that her country is ready to negotiate on the new import tariffs with the u.s. however she did not rule out a hardline response if the talks were not productive but we're ready to talk with the u.s. must try to reach an agreement otherwise who have to take measures and who did in connection with the still and the medium tariffs. meanwhile the u.s. ambassador to germany has met with the country's leading car makers to discuss the

tariffs are t. samir khan has the details the us ambassador to germany apparently held a top a secret meeting with the who's who of the german auto industry to discuss tariffs and this was met with harsh criticism from the head of the german social democratic party saying that it wasn't in the ambassador's authority to do so. if the u.s. government wants to talk about tariffs with us then this issue must be discussed between the u.s. secretary of commerce and the german minister for economic affairs and energy peter altemeyer we're not some kind of banana republic this wasn't the first time the ambassador has managed to stir up controversy he frustrated germans the day here arrived in germany back in may with just one tweet in which he advised german businesses to stop doing business in iran for some context to this was right after trump announced that the us would you want to laterally withdraw from the iran deal and then just a month after that he offended germans again when he said that he wanted to empower

the right wing all across europe with the german politicians claiming that he had breached protocol and some even called for him to be expelled from the country so a lot of members of my party if i'm pretty explicit that we find these statements are highly inappropriate for an ambassador. or canobie well advised to reconsider his role in this mission if the federal government takes the country's democratic sobering too seriously you should not invite a ground zero for a chat but rather expel him immediately and bus deserved representatives of the state of political movements u.s. ambassador grenell however does not behave like a diplomat but more like a far right colonial officer we won't tolerate such behavior so this latest scandal has the ambassador stirring up controversy just days before trump is scheduled to visit europe. and american journalist has been criticized for visiting russia to find out why right after the break here on our team for national.

aggression is everywhere in our gnosis i do we see how hungry the employment we see how are we doing this you know especially in the land so we would see the success stories a success story once again because of how to put it to the body because of him but we didn't we didn't. succeed in achieving the economy goes. like the saying hold on let's move those jobs back to america by imposing sarus to equalize this trade picture and move toward a post china extraction model you know where as private equity extraction well using leverage files china's but extracting wealth using leverage trade shenanigans so this is just the reverse of that. as i hear some people's voices starts to make

a little bit more sense that people don't understand that this guy actually understands more than people are giving him credit for. welcome back to the program an award winning journalist who how their whistleblower ad word snowden to expose the secrets of the n.s.a. has found himself and her attacker visiting russia for a cyber security conference artie's callup moppin has the details well glenn greenwald who is the famous journalist who exposed electronic surveillance in the united states using the documents of edward snowden revealed by edward snowden the whistleblower he is getting a lot of criticism at this point now he went to russia he attended a conference on cyber security at that conference he spoke on a panel related to the issue of fake news and then from there he went and did a t.v.

. view with this network this is some of what he said in his interview with r.t. there's an obsession in the united states with viewing russia not just as an adversary but as an actual enemy 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 now from there we saw a whole lot of media voices in the usa jump on glenn greenwald simply for the fact that he gave this interview one commentator from m.s. n.b.c. responded to the fact that glenn greenwald stated his views in an interview with this network this way this is what was said glenn greenwald shows he's true colors as an agent of trauma and moscow now we know why he helps note in the fact covers for the leaks attack on democracy and shields for fox news he's deep in the

kremlin's pocket. now a tweet from a media outlet associated with voice of america accuse glenn greenwald of quote voicing support for the government of russia in his interview now wiki leaks responded pointing out that at no point did mr greenwald voiced support for the russian government that was not anything he said in his interview at no point in the interview did he make statements supporting the russian government so this tweet from a u.s. government media outlet voice of america was simply not correct now greenwald is not the first individual to have been targeted this way and basically accused of all kinds of things simply for appearing on this network we saw that green party presidential candidate jill stein faced similar allegations simply because she did interviews on r.t. and that she went to russia and met a lot of mir putin and we've also seen in the recent in the aftermath of the passing away of edge scholtz we've seen similar statements and strange things made in allegations made in the obituaries in the reporting around his death so glenn

greenwald has responded to those jumping on him for doing the interview saying that this is simply mccarthyism and it reminds people of the period in the united states in which guilt by association was very common and people were being accused of being disloyal and treasonous simply for meeting with somebody or giving an interview or shaking hands with someone glenn greenwald is quick to jump on this as an example of kind of the hysterical atmosphere created around russia in the united states the subject of the interview he gave to r.t. investigative journalists max bloom and how told us that the whole case is based on the u.s. perception of russia as an enemy. this is outright slander. tension legally actionable libel that is being committed by an employee of m s n b c which is to push this frame of anything connected to russia being a form of treason whether it's diplomacy or person to person engagement if you look

at malcolm nance's own record of wild statements including that the united states as a constitutional republic is about to be destroyed by a lot of near putin it's pretty clear that he's to intelligence what harvey weinstein is to feminism this is all about geopolitics and people like glenn greenwald. have been become collateral damage in the revival of mccarthyism. while as her into the world kept now there are just four countries left and the race for a cup of glory later on t.v. is a francois clash where the value of the semifinals and that was three and three now and the two favorites still at the trough and then on wednesday endless play car away here in moscow. meanwhile a charity a footy match involving stars of think game has been how it in red square

participating with the captain out west germany is and nineteen nineteen world cup . mean winning side an x. russian midfielder alexander must avoid the game was organized by the a naked heart foundation which helps children with disabilities and we spoke to those taking part no middle school seeing children participates their emotions how it helps them become a part of this policy this is the best on a reward. really. present that but i like that i can be here and help and also. that's the thing to remember i'm really glad to participate in such an event be part of the free food world cup which as it seems to me is absolutely fantastic. i'm so proud of sin russia i'm so sorry that i seem to have played funtastic

football i think that the congress hearts of the biggest skeptics about russian football and no what is actually happening today is really important because now thousands of boys and girls will want will be motivated to take on this force and of course when it comes to young kids with special needs then not an exception they also want to play for the gold and world cup is going to have an impact on them. and could use this moment world cup for. the last fifty years from the beginning in just four days and i think this is a very nice in a vertical producers and. can sustain. a bottle each side from each other for the world cup was very nice to know there's a look of surprise since they're doing still in the street the same washington post

in that autumn into the quarterfinals maybe for many russians except. the opening game of this world cup was also first by having a ball girls our correspondent train coach check out the state of women's football in russia. which team has the best pass accuracy in the opening game of the world cup it must be russia after all they won five nil no saudi arabia wrong again so here's who did. they found another player with every single pass the first ever ball girls the world cup's opening match their from a junior women's football club cold today from a neighborhood that's remote even by russian standards to get their free moment at the world cup opener the teenagers won a contest against boys and girls from all over the world's biggest country.

so it is obviously. guilty here but since they could see it could be said it was the. millions would have loved to find themselves in the same boots. girls from this amateur football club from moscow not so many of those in russia for now but count them in you won't see them helping out at the russian world cup arenas but these ladies of girl power don't need special occasions to shine on and off the pitch their team can for one throw a party that would lower crowds of moscow's most hip party goers. for a bit of fun and all in the name of football women's amateur football football for everyone. it's just.

for. fun though if you simply go away. for the never ten year old to get the good of you to let. them know about it over. but i'm sure you don't want. to give me a board that would be good i'd. give a good what sonny. barger are yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah if it. was you. would still. find your reservations important because i divorce what i see even the worst of the would do you get it. i cannot believe i agreed to this. you going to i'm not but it's a good example both. city had a book to injury out of. busted i wish you hadn't found it should educate me this

money even. though i'm yeah little boy exploited the rest of you good thing it all for that ass night is a good. i should say even now that it when i proposed to. call me and since i am at the pool the coil like i did as a goose can you wish i was reason it when you left the front of us for football watching me we come back that is such a shame could have to. keep the fishy deal key to the scan unit and i didn't mean to she did you say. show me a little bit along you have some of those were just the off button you know sleeves from they do all of their childhoods the way he's created so you know and then i put all my old boys she knew about one cause those an all star you know my you my man come down the house call we what are your kids on the football and yeah yeah we

would have a lot of gold but the most that they're going to say must see a new model of a cd they'll. notice what i call. heart of moscow for trying to go. first. on our t. twenty team coverage we've signed one of the greatest. but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and a huge amount of pressure you have to the center of the. great.

a hell of. a lot. more you know. locals are ready to stand up for the basic human right the access to water it's about water. it's also over much more and more it's about the hurt and the redistribution of. words on the day or day downwards the ones. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us as over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to the rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building
