the. fall. over the prime minister. last week. being. in the world cup. semi final showdown. so we had a. head of the game on another rivalry. but there. we know the true.

story. from all of us here welcome to the program. the u.k. has a new foreign secretary following the resignation. has been replaced by jeremy hunt there's been a string off. over the government's adoption of approach to leaving the e.u. now the new foreign secretary has been serving as the country's health secretary for the past six years he supported the romane campaign during the twenty six. though he claims to have. and as boris johnson was leaving his official residence in central london offer his resignation he was bombarded with questions from reporters. your mother was ill for. most the jokes and you

think the private is the devil right so do. you think you could do a better job than the prime minister. u.k. politics is falling apart within twenty four hours we've seen the resignation of three cabinet ministers including the u.k. foreign secretary bricks it should be about opportunity and hope we appear to be heading for a semi bricks it we are truly headed for the status of colony i want to recognize the work of the former secretary of state for accepting the european union to recognise the passion that the former foreign secretary demonstrated. how can anyone have a place in the prime minister get a good good deal with twenty seven european union governments when she can't even broker a deal within the power own cabinet. to reason why is no stranger to political disasters following has nothing action she failed to get

a majority thinks he's had five hundred at the grandfather suffered last year and the fact that negotiations of falling apart either poll about teresa mayes general approval rating for the forty eight percent people really don't like may and twenty three percent of people do not like her in any and their three percent of people like the prime minister and it must be awful if the danger ahead really is so great is this the right time for resignations and internal squabbling finishes at the london total to ask the president of the european council reacted to the resignations in the u.k. a ruling that breaks it didn't go away with the secretary who was responsible for. politicians come and go. but the problems they have created for the people who remain. and then it goes may break it is the biggest problem in the history. of. u.k. relations. and it is still the far from being thought with or without mr davies

and the unfortunately it hasn't left. all the turmoil of approach that has drawn media attention away from a second alleged case of no agent poisoning in the u.k. and scores of detectives are currently working on the case trying to establish how a couple of man and woman were poisoned by a nerve agent and the woman has since died in hospital it's been revealed in the past suffered the greatest exposure through their hands prompting their presumption they picked something up a political commentator david says the breaks of destruction won't last long given london's obsession with the so-called russia threat. to resume a government seems to have a bit of a obsession a bird trying to blame such incidents such as the previous one for example on russia well i think that's the kind of a distraction and i think at this point in time theresa may would rather talk about

it anything anything other than her and their leadership so surprised that this note which. incident does get hyped up and talked up by the british government all day and which is quite conceivable by to morrow morning this prime minister could be gone possibly discussing no bitch ugh is is almost a welcome distraction from for the beleaguered mayor ministration. after years under the control of islamic state terrorists the syrian city of rock was liberated back in twenty seventeen but it paid a heavy price for liberation even now the streets are still strewn with bodies and what i guess the investigations. raca was a thriving city once prosperous rich and then isis came and turned it into its capital they leveled it the u.s. led coalition leveled it ninety percent bombed and blasted to ruin.

and locals those that survived still picking up the pieces a worse thing and i personally remember this from mosul is the bodies hundreds thousands of them still rotting under the rubble the smell is indescribable and it permeates everything especially bad when it's houghton decomposition really said scene and there's a lot of bodies still to be found at. in this grave there are people of all

confessions militants civilians children the elderly they were from all parts of society and some of their quick killed in the fighting some from the airstrikes others were killed by snipers all causes of death can be found. asaad who'd never completed his medical degree he spent the last seven months digging up bodies those buried in mass graves those they dig up from under the rubble experience not education has made him a pathologist day in day out he and his team dig up corpses with picks shovels hammers. over the course of the last several hours they have dug up eighty bodies. of the main problems you can find them both in the buildings and on the streets. is the lack of equipment such

a big city as record needs demanding the city council give us as much equipment as . we can expend work it's no secret that things are not enough assistance not enough help no one spared any expense when it came to carpet bombing iraq but they're counted now rescuers lack equipment financing c.v.t. gear and the international community has gone silent all but rights groups which have been carrying the alarm bells for near enough a year now one of the main obstacles to actually examine these graves was the presence of landmine contamination and it seems that the process for the mining mining of these areas is very very slow there needs to be more support not just financially but also in terms of technical assistance and friends that expertise but it appears that there is progress unfortunately and the progress appears to be

slow and the resources that are necessary for it to be completed do not seem to be in place neither the human resources nor the financial resources it's a sorry situation so many dead so many missing and no one willing to bear any responsibility it's as america's said you'll never know how many died in iraq as far as how do we know how many civilians were killed just be honest no one will ever know anyone who claims they all know is lying. swedish dentist has been fired and now risked losing his home after exposing some of his child refugee patients has actually been. in adults the court find the man over forty thousand euros arguing that he had violated medical confidentiality sweden is currently the third largest european recipient country of quota refugees with child led to some issues in identifying under-age asylum seekers

a medical age of six months in sweden has revealed that some eighty percent of asylum seekers applying for child migrants status were actually much older than claimed. if you have x. three hundred eighty if you can see you are usually if you have about four season or under eighteen years old eight feet for some grown up people. i was fired because i'm. still stuck on the game if the woman from the immigration office. to my guest official this email or both these people was so i could.

hire these. grid. lawyer he's one of the best in sweden. just paid to. use a place that should only be young people under eighteen years old some of the older people from twenty five thirty years old you are going to face the problems of something fishy to come to sweden. and we have both already is in the gulf region to comment on this case we are still waiting for that comment. and award winning journalist who helped whistleblower edward snowden to expose the secrets of the n.s.a. has found himself under attack for visiting a cyber security conference here in russia and has details well glenn greenwald who

is the famous journalist who exposed electronic surveillance in the united states using the documents of edwards. 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. interview with this network there's an obsession in the united states with viewing russia not just as an adversary but as an ox one of me it's permeated both political parties there's actually talk a lot know about how what they regard as the interference in the twenty six thousand election is similar to pearl harbor from there we saw a whole lot of media voices in the usa jump on glenn greenwald's simply for the fact that he gave this interview one commentator from m s n b c responded this way

glenn greenwald chooses true colors and agents of trump. now we know why he hopes and i wouldn't affect companies who wiki leaks attack on democracy in shills for folks news he's deep in the kremlin pumpkins 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 lattimer 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 an ally. 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 a 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. but 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 an investigative journalist blumenthal told us the whole case is based on the us perception of russia as the number one enemy this is outright slander. that is being committed by an employee of m.s.n. b.c. which is push this frame of anything connected to russia being a form of treason 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 mir 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 all right just a moment when an international we're about to cross to live to our special studio and some pages of daniel holkins will tell you more about the world cup in just

a moment. what politicians do something that. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to be pressed. to want to be precise with what before three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my call. myself is saying hold on let's move those jobs back to america by imposing sarus to equalize the trade picture and move toward a polished china extraction model you know where as private equity extraction well using lebron tiles china's but extracting wealth using leverage trade shenanigans

so this is just the reverse of that song as i hear it in some people's voices starts to make a little more sense people don't understand that this guy actually understands more than people i'm giving him credit for. global saying read his book review what you missed from today welcome see you on t.v. special coverage of the world cup from our fantastic so you have a look at home which is museum right in the hearts of russia's nor the tops allowance inspirations building here in the city today with the semifinal being played all eyes on france belgium will clash later in the day here in littleton

capital a game will be attended by french president emmanuel. belgium's as well i'm also joined by bought the vice president's all the bells in football union to get his take on what's probably going to be a crack of the game thanks for joining us from the bottom is a lot of anticipation for the excitement from both from both the sets. and how confident are you of a belgian when are you feeling pretty good about when. to be honest i think we have fifty percent the chance to win the game and submit the same that we estimated the gives brazil i think friends is a well respected team it's a very good team with pretty great players and a very good record already. won the world cup so we have your experience we are a smaller country but i think we have also great players a good coach. and we have the will to win so i hope we can make it i don't think you've been here for a while now at the world cup probably been to more cities than a few people here in the studio because so many what's your impression so far been

about the organization that must fear here have you enjoyed yourself. honestly i have to say i'm impressed by what we saw here it's really great cities we went to. the war stuff and it's a bit there's a burger and now and moscow you know they're all it's marvelous organization it's a well oiled. the players everybody at this stuff is really impressed by everything so it's where we talk about all of them my wife we should definitely come back to russia and visit all the cities because they are so beautiful so you do you recommend it yeah recommended definitely speak of coming back you mentioned if i understand correctly you're actually student in russian quite a few a few years here a long time ago what's what changes have you noticed since then how much of the country changed because he. was in there was before the ninety's or was i was

twenty four years old then and we go out with this student of law of living though we went over here and it was already a great to see all these beautiful historical buildings but today a everything is so nice and clean need so property security is safe and people are friendly so honestly it's a russian made the big change and it's becoming a really. really big cities like some beer there's a burger in moscow. very nice you did a great job and safe is you know one of the key keywords you mention there because before. the opening ceremony of fourteenth there was a lot of scare stories in the media about the potential for hooliganism sightly many of my friends from in. and chose not to come because they thought it would be dangerous to be violence you know echoing what happened in los amy's a couple of years back. this concerns me justified i mean if you see any sort of hippie shoes or heard about any issues no not at all i was pretty sure and then i heard also in my environment to say. maybe we should not go and so on because of

but to be honest i was pretty sure that everything. would be no organized and it was so so it was even better of soil that surprised as in a very good way that everything went so well also the travelling from airports to the hotels and everything it went very smoothly and i should say a big. dessert you deserve and also to have a medallion on the on the on your breasts to say russia did a great job yeah well look the team didn't quite make of me i mean we were covering the quarter final here from the shooter had a big crowd behind us watching the football cheering. they obviously exceeded expectations the russians he rested a lot of you know negativity around them they're lazy there are pay that for this is a record result i mean what would you make of their game and their performance that we played against them before the world cup in sochi and we already there said ok this is a good thing this is one team and this is a team which is to maybe they don't have the stars like other teams but it is

definitely a team that is working hard and is hard to beat them i think in the world of club all the teams that are very close to each other the difference is made by by small things. you know you your own fortune you lost against the quarterfinal but you could be here in the last four so i think you she figured that this is a great achievement what you did with your team should be very happy on it and the should you feel confident and trust to go to the us to find the fans of been very happy very pleased with the result now i know fire ants here presidents beat us but they're excited about the visit of the royals. again because we know belgium how important you think about business for russia belgium relations do you think you'll go further in having formal ties or i think it's the first of all the i think also to support our team and we're very glad that it doesn't it's good for the players that they know that they are supported by the other by the king and his wife but

the queen but on the other hand it's shows also to the country that we are belgium and russia that we are two counties are that can make business together and we can . live with each other in a very peacefully together and you're obviously part of the belgian don't believe any of us president how important is that role in building those partnerships those football partnerships and you know exchanging experience with other countries i suppose that's a big part of your of your job yeah it's think it's very necessary that you meet in other countries because at the end you like to me you'd like to get better results and you like to learn from each other and i think if you can see each other in this store moment you could have a chat with each other discussing about how do you do with the old with you how do you handle your first team you can always learn something from another country another team and this experience i would like to share with each other and to make ourselves better from this and that's why it's what i ask you to participate in the

world cup and euros you know speaking of euros since the quarter final stage of their about there's been a bit of a. joke that this is turned into euro twenty not not up to eighteen because of the performance of the south american teams the african teams is a bit disappointing they haven't performed perhaps their best to the best of their abilities have seen some of the stars you know messi neymar just not perform up to standard bit disappointed perhaps we haven't seen some of that south american flair you know go further in the competition. for resources surprisingly i honestly i have no i don't find any reasons behind why it isn't the end this is. there's a lot of sports the best wins and takes it all and that's a bit of what happened i think it's not that you could say there is a general issue above that no i'd rather think the other one was better just and at the end up we are not in the same in the in the same finals with four but rupie and teams that's what it is i don't see

a real big reason behind it i think they were just maybe unlucky or not they are not there so at the end i think we there are new stars coming up i don't look to our team we have. we have. and we have people who are one and a lot of other players i think they can become the stars of this storm and that's also nice to see that so we're down to four teams now as you say if you had to you know stick it out and make your prediction about. science more who's going to be in the final with lift the trophy what would your predictions be do you think maybe or maybe a belgium england final. could be as good be never expected that the we honestly if you hadn't known we know if you have told me that that the save the belgium in england would compete for the final as you say no you're you're not right but can be and i think the who wins tonight the game. can be. the main

competitor to achieve the title but every game has to play in and there's a world cup in every game i should say that now is almost fifty fifty because there are good teams now if you are in the same a final you are a good team so you need to be very well prepared for the team you need to be fresh you need to go to the pen for little things and the bit of luck also so honestly i i hope that we do well and that we can beat france tonight and maybe we should we shall see a moscow what we can achieve but you know for gold that's clear yes came a fantastic game for certain just the final question looking at the future you know twenty twenty it's going to be moving different format many countries hosting many . i was thing as well what's your predictions for that i mean do you think that's a good format do you think they'll be popular. it's new. and i think it's so worthwhile to try it because then you can show. all the best of europe to each other and you would also participating ever bit your country so that's great and i

think it's not so big that we are all together in so i think it's going to be fun also that we can share it but there's got to be a different part of it with more participate a part to pay attention than before. and support the site for our country i think the result of the achieved in this world cup should give us confidence to to to to be ambitious for the universe to move forward yeah absolutely thanks so much for my joining us the. vice president of the belgian football union there giving us his prediction for the match tonight now the belgian squad has been training at their base camp in moscow region all twenty three players came onto the pitch to hone their skills before the big game in belgium of course two of the strongest teams a real star players there from top european leagues belgium boasts the talented twenty seven year old midfielder kevin do bruno who scored that's a fantastic decisive goal in the quarter final both teams also have contenders for the golden boot in france's case antoine griezmann of course belgium's star striker

. the youngest player as well nineteen year old to kill him but play has already become a bit of a sensation back home in france as well as globally now. caught up with supporters of both seems out of the game challenging them all another sporting rivalry. out of all of russia city st petersburg is considered to be the window to europe and there are many continental influences here such as in the architecture like the standing since isaac's cathedral which was designed by the french architect august the month for rent. and there was also a healthy thriving french community here in the city numbering around a thousand people they include workers and students we went to speak to one man

whose job it is to unite those frenchmen living here with their russian hosts. this is what would happen for the whole first we think of this i move like a lot of french and foreign students ways exchange program but you have to train months i decided to come back again of course was nice girls the ladies. very nice people we just received like exotic for me i wanted to knew these people and i give me a challenge that i need to study them so i come back for a long time and unite organizing a game between funds so we're going to use these games to join funds to show the french your country and i was very nice game to come in a lot of french people use and so on to war to present a team of friends and to give was very interesting but russia won but now as st petersburg gears up to host france and belgium for that crucial semifinal clash

there's an important question to be aust now fried chips as we call them back in england are a crucial staple of any not so healthy diet but as we call them french fries are they actually french all belgian some content we also spawns here inside pizzas but the truth. of a belgian i don't know where the name comes from but their village and hundred percent hundred percent so i could repeat been generally you know me you know any good process i. don't know could take new football fossick and get me up to a new football. as for. french planes hundred percent sure yeah yeah i'm not sure i don't know before you start you need to know what i am on the job no not if. you such french belgians as belgium who did it while still it's mcdonald's.

trying.
