relations. and it's still the far from being thought with or without mr davies and the unfortunately. now it's a reserve maze of bricks that speech or talk to far more attention than parliament and home secretary. speech last week he was speaking after an emergency meeting about the latest no of age an incident in the u.k. and called on russia to explain what happened london accuses rusher of the earlier poisoning of a former russian double agent it is something that moscow denies meanwhile scores of detectives are currently working on the more recent case in the town of amesbury trying to establish how a couple were poisoned with a nerve agent and the woman has since died in hospital it's been revealed that the pair suffered the greatest exposure through their hands prompting speculation that they picked something up for political commentator david vonn says the destruction won't last long given london's obsession with the so-called russia threat this is
5:05 am
to resume a government seems to have a bit of a obsession abroad trying to blame such incidents such as the previous one for example on russia i like think that's the case of a distraction and i think at this point in time theresa may would rather talk abut anything anything other than her and their leadership so we surprised that there's no such. incident does get hyped up and talked of by the british government on a day in which is quite conceivable by to morrow morning this prime minister could be gone. possibly discussing know which uk is is almost a welcome distraction from for the beleaguered mayor it with a strange well until his resignation boris johnson as the u.k.'s chief diplomat was one of those slinging accusations at russia over and over chalk appearing his two years at the post johnson often gained global attention with his provocative and well diplomatic remarks.

5:10 am
that we can expand work it's no secret that things are not enough assistants not enough help no one spared any expense when it came to carpet bombing rock 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 bearing the alarm bells for near enough a year now one of the main obstacles to actually as you move 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 in forensic expert he is 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
5:11 am
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 i'm just being honest no one will ever know anyone who claims there is lying. a swedish dentist has been fired and now risks losing his home after exposing some of his child to refugee patients was actually being adults. a court fined him over forty thousand euros arguing that he had violated medical confidentiality sweden is currently the third largest european recipient country of quote refugees with child led to some issues in identifying under age asylum seekers' medical age assessments

5:13 am
the high of these. red top lawyer he's one of the best in sweden and a best paid to. this is a place that should only be young people under eighteen years old and to some good if you are older people for example twenty five thirty years old you are going to pay for six could be a problem some don't think of should live to come into sweden. we have auto thora he's in the gulf region to comment on that case we are standing by . well an award winning journalist who helped whistleblower edward snowden to expose the secrets of the n.s.a. has found himself under a time of visiting russia for a cyber security conference
5:14 am
a correspondent has 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. interview with this network there's an obsession in the united states with viewing russia not just as an adversary but as an oxe one to me it's permeated both political parties there's actually talk a lot now about how what they regard as the interference in the twenty 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
5:15 am
glenn greenwald showed his true colors as an agent of trump and now we know why he hoped snowden defect covers who wiki leaks attack on democracy in shows from fox 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 glenn greenwald is not the first individual to have been targeted this way and basically a cube. 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
5:16 am
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. but there's this sense that russia is now and then me on par with or the japanese during world war two russia has often talked about this way in the sense that any kind of connection with or interaction with russia is viewed as inherently
5:17 am
suspicious or even worse thanks for joining us so far on this tuesday here on on the international so the first game of the world cup semifinal kicking off later i don't know who and east will bring you special coverage must judio in some in just a moment. when else truths seemed wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any new world that is yet to shape out these days becomes agitated and in games from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. what self is saying hold on we'll to move those jobs back to america by imposing
5:18 am
tariffs to equalize this trade picture and move toward a post china extraction model you know where as private equity extracts wealth using lab or triads china's but extracting wealth using leverage trade shenanigans so this is just the reverse of that trump as i hear it in 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. well our special coverage of the world cup from our studio overlooking the ground. in st petersburg we're getting really cool that semifinal being played here.
5:19 am
between front and belgium and we actually have a number of very cold it binds behind us getting into the mood by getting into the atmosphere where the game will be offended by not only those fans french president the man old mike brown as well as belgium's world family quite a number far profile names france belgium actually my wrist which one i'm on the top for louisiana i'm going to one of the strongest teams with posting titles such as the twenty seven year old midfielder kevin the bro you know and he school got the size of gold in the quarterfinals you know both teams also after tennis for the big golden boot process case greece one belgium of course of star striker romelu lukaku indeed the youngest player nineteen year old kid him about by a bit of a domestic name before now truly made his name as an international superstar it does seem now we've seen french players dancing at the airport after defeating or go on to secure that semifinal place. can be
5:20 am
found. who also plays for english clubs chelsea has reportedly admitted he grew up being more of a supporter of france than of belgium but of control we see that there's some childhood photos you can see in the media showing him wearing french star city in sudan spike conic show. and house isn't the only player who wants back the other side of course belgium's assistant coach is a very he's a retired the world cup winning french strike and one of france's current strikers thinks that ariens picked the wrong side. distribution to show obviously i would be very proud to show to terry on ri that he has chosen the wrong camp it's true that
5:21 am
it's weird to see him lining up against us for this game so it will also be a special game for him now belgium and french france have been getting into the spirit of the wild card we've had a few of them here with us and i also managed to catch up with supporters of both teams ahead of the game and challenging them to a very very important sporting question. 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 stunning since isaac's cathedral which was designed by the french architect august the month for around. and there's also a healthy thriving french community here in the city numbering around
5:22 am
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 happened when the whole first week i think if. i moved like a lot of french and foreign students from exchange program but you have to train mine so i decided to come back again of course was nice girl so ladies and sport or so russian was a very nice people just to see it like exotic for me i want to tell you these people. i gave me a challenge that i need to study damn so i come back for the time of your show tonight organizing a game between funds so we're going to use these games to join funds. to french your country and it was very nice coming up to french before this use and so on to war to the present a team of friends and the game was very interesting but russia won. now as st
5:23 am
petersburg is up to host france and belgium for that crucial semifinal clash there's an important question to be now fraud 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 all they actually french all belgian some content we also spawns here inside pizzas but for the troops. belgians i don't know where the name comes from but they're belgian hundred percent one hundred percent so i could repeat been generally you know it's good you could process i. don't know good to you for good fossick and new food. my. french writer a hundred percent sure yeah yeah i'm not sure i don't know people you start you need to know what i am here because you know not what. you say it's french belgians
5:24 am
as belgian who did it was the outside it's mcdonald's it was things like. his dogs and fries but they did have the name you know detroit but there. was at the end phone signal to address the new with them from the set to the only dog was heavy defeat the phone says it got me to visit a fan charge in france are getting closer to what is also going to win but belgians are going to have the fries. french fries is from bajor so it should be renamed the belgian press yes that's right so maybe whoever wins can. i believe yes yes we can do that. we're joined live in a suit up by john dog and these are rights from audience they use for show off the ball john thanks for joining us in the studio today it's your first time obviously in so petersburg and russia as well one of the oppression so fall bit of the atmosphere in the country but i nearly said thanks for having me on your show being here a month and a day and this is my sixth city and i've been to fourteen matches so i've had of
5:25 am
amazing time in russia as a journalist down there as a football fan obviously and it's just been great speech and as you know of corruption in grass because i'm some are in moscow and st petersburg what a beautiful city there must be but a paris france here tonight against belgium the semifinals of the world cup in the world cup to me is the greatest show on earth that's what i've always felt since i've been watching us on television as a boy and it's lived up to every expectation on the course i've been excellent hosts for the month and we've been discussing obviously just before we came on air and you were saying you know you've been involved in all the events cheltenham and so on how is this compared in terms of the organization of this world cup well i was at the rio olympics and still there's a lot of. maybe scaremongering about rio and the safety of rio back and twenty and sixteen and when i went to rio i felt very safe it was a beautiful exotic place to go to in russia have to say since the very beginning has been exceptional in terms their organization in terms of the metro systems
5:26 am
getting people in and out of grants. obviously there's each piece presents and that can work and in both positive and negative ways but it's it's it's worked i felt extremely safe i was here going around with your person you have your passport you're here accreditation you've got your your money on you and i felt extremely safe at all times about it i feel like it's a very modern country very technologically advanced and if you look people have been friendly but i think that's the case anywhere you go if you went to australia for world cup you went to england for world cup you went to united states it would be the same everywhere ordinary people are the same everywhere you go in the world and i think that the russian people have had. i know that this part of the world is on that if you're given the world cup as a country you have to host it in this way and russia have succeeded in hostess and a very open and friendly way which is what the world expects some of the world has seen here and off to football to be great as well i think speaking specifically of safety i think there was a lot of safety concerns before the world cup site and many of my friends when i saw you coming coming over they said absolutely not you know my wife would let me
5:27 am
know a girlfriend would let me it's going to be crazy my you have caught on edge a lot of people probably missed out through having those thoughts and not coming out probably regretting now i'm not buying tickets and flights and you know michel what could've been a fantastic experience for them so it's not the sort of food but you are getting from from friends and colleagues that have been sort of attended perhaps they missed out a bit of a full festival will of the week a look at the we didn't qualify for the republican party and we'd love to be in here i know they are fans would have loved it here i know but that would have a carnival here with all the other fronts of. see it as expensive to come to the world cup it's harder to get from i know from i.d.s. you can get visas but psychologically you just get a visa to come from europe to russia you don't need to do that from south america. but i knew from covering the olympic games you can often post a major international sporting event without it going off smoothly and i think that it was said before the tournament that the success of there were going to of the organizational be there with one of the winners of the world cup i think that's
5:28 am
that's been the case so i didn't expect anything i'd been different as a journalist because i knew from rio that it would be organized well and it's great to see the house come off a string the smoothly and i never got as a as a person as a journalist the scenes i saw last sunday when russia beat spain in moscow and the spontaneous eruption of emotion and celebration i don't know if it's been seen her since possibly nineteen forty five and that could leave a possibly a great legacy for russia in terms of openness to the world i'm just shows that ordinary people around the world can an infant have a mix of culture around the globe a language that is hopeful there is not what a global line. and there's no other kind of the world like this but i think you'd be the only one the so witness the scenes of the first really fantastic atmosphere join the wrong cross-country absolutely john final question one what we did with france guy starts much in the gotta do is something that's on the net it's a good idea so i thank so much for joining like you know john dugan that brought from audience that you support show off the ball both nights one of course all
