been to his experienced top scorer for france. as he said we've got opponents they've got a pacing side you can that really benefits the belgian team by having that insight you know i think the most important thing for me in relation to the belgian team has the quality of the players. the generation the age the experience the level they are playing in the club then with roberto and with cherry for me the choice was very good because the majority of the players had players of the premier league so it is their natural habitat they know the players very well then or to take the best out of the players so i think the choice of the technical stuff was was a very woods was a very good one and finally before the players are about to take the picture again what would what would you be saying to you to team now what would you it's the semifinal of the world cup you've been massive big tournament i would say a part of the tickle experts of the game i would say don't come crying the dressing

room after the game. and on don't come in them. is the worst feeling for me is when people finish the game a feeling that we are much better than we are much better than these and both teams are much better than in this part of the afraid. of the potential incredible potential of a great. look. the booing the cautious about it of course they have to be because if that if they are not going to give two points the space time where they can kill the game so while the game using the zero zero even the managers there will be a little bit of. i want more but. but so is a game is a game of fear is

a game of fear and. i don't believe the teams are going to change. their approach. unless it all happens. that happens in seconds off just a minute thank you very much until i can hand you back to the guys over in the moscow studio. many thanks to party down josie there so we heard it's a game of fear union although i would say that we could split that game of fear into a half of two halves certainly was belgium having the better of the play in the first twenty minutes or so indeed the best chance they had in twenty minutes and has our could have been goal bound flicked up ahead of the defender and we mentioned that point he said you feel the momentum started to change from that point and then it was a lot of france was and they had a really good opportunity and thirty nine minutes played in the fullback and his shot produced a fantastic save by the leg from. being two top class saves but who's going

to be brave will be brave i guess if you've been looking at my script because i've just written it's really a game of two halves within the first forty five minutes all belgium from from the kickoff really the first twenty minutes i was surprised belgium didn't have the ball in the french net and then do what they do best up the pressure they go on the attack as we've seen really all tournaments long just when you think you may be comfortable they start to go on the attack of course no nail up the break neil just what you see marine you were seeing a lot of good insights there talking to kate partridge in manchester but really what he was leaving with as you see a fear not wanting to leave it on the pitch but really there's so much at stake here we're just here we should mention of course red square in the background the bolshoi. theater over here this is where french. and belgium fans want to be this weekend walking round taking up the site with a final stake at the moment you know i do say the pundit but really we've been

watching a little bit of the game here it looks calm and moist this could go anyway i would say is games go in kind of waves of the mountain and it was definitely friends in the ascendancy in the second like second period of twenty something minutes will they continue in the ascendancy if so those will probably need to do something about that let's see how the fans have been reacting because on the links here he says he has been in the st petersburg stadium watching the games mixing with the fans a lot of nerves over demons or like say what's the most atmosphere like. well i would say this this probably not the loudest game we've heard in the course of this world cup not even the loudest game we've had in this stadium in st petersburg but. you know you can attribute that to the fact that there are not too many belgians around here they are indeed in a much bigger force than they were let's say in the game against brazil in cosign

probably several thousand more here. but but i wouldn't say that you know they're creating so much noise you can definitely hear them you could definite hear the french supporters and the stadium is almost full maybe one of two thousand short off the full capacity of sixty seven thousand here in st petersburg but definitely the fans on us the game looks to be very nervous and probably will hear more from them in the second half but i have to say last time i went to a belgium game which was against brazil and because on just a few days ago and issued some sort of a rallying call on net you have the belgian fans flocking to st petersburg for this game i think they have actually heard it i don't know if they're watching our see that often but they are definitely in much larger numbers and actually i walked the streets of st petersburg with them today for an absolutely crazy fast. of all that they put up there with the red yellow and black colors in the streets of the city

check this out. well i'm i'm sure you can see what's happening it's a belgian invasion of st petersburg look at that they are unfolding what looks to be a nine meets a flag which they are now carrying to the stadium lots of positivity remember after the brazil belgium game i maybe issued a rallying call to the belgians to show up in st petersburg and they have good spirits good voices a lot of confidence i spoke to some of them they've all been saying that they will beat france i mean that's something you expect from a team from supporters of a team but these guys are really confident and you know the belgians are probably the only team which can actually stop from there now actually on their way to the subway and will carry the flag the cute nine meter belgian flag into the subway so

this is the world cup that you are hoping to bring home right it's already written belgium on it all it's belgium on the right so one thousand eight hundred this is the like the gym keep the chicken girlfriend she granger it pretty good pretty good for different she can and will happen with a friend she can do night normally we didn't and we're going to need to me we're. going to do what is going all the poetry today. this is like she can obsession isn't there it's become something of a semifinal symbolising another one was spotted the england training session check this out.

ok i should do the obvious joke there shouldn't yeah let's hoping to get stuff by the way she's sorry but. yeah i have to say that i have the same how we do in the march here we are what's almost an hour in or so it was five minutes or five minutes of the second half. and we can tell you we don't know you go just as we're speaking and its. defenders just come up with a great just angle that from the corner kick and france have the lead we said that they've been in the ascendancy late on in the first half and the press has started to i don't know other piece in this world cup i know people were saying this is the world cup of russia this is the world cup of v.a.r. i think it's the world cup set pieces and incredible amount of calls coming from free kicks this from a corner french in the ascendancy they didn't really look like it in the first half towards the end of the first half maybe but that is

a strong headed by the barcelona man getting up strong near post heading home got above. the laney for that how many people can say yeah and it's a very good goal and they cut straight to a shot of emmanuel maicon who is one of the few dignities who made the journey to the world cup and he's probably thinking it was a pretty smart decision the way standing now so france have the lead but it's forty minutes of play we're going to be keeping a very keen on this thing stay with us here. welcome back this is r.t. international i nicky aaron let's bring you up to speed on the latest world news headlines now a man exposed to a toxic substance in the u.k. town of amesbury has regained consciousness but remains in

a critical condition artie's anastasia chacon reports from london. forty five year old charlie rally's condition has been improving now that he's regained consciousness at salisbury district hospital and he was taken to the hospital back on saturday june thirtieth along with his partner forty four year old don sturgis who has died last sunday night now this is the second novacek related poisoning the way that officials here in the u.k. have been putting it basically now forced to answer questions about how is it possible that the second couple somehow came in contact with this nerve agent that was said to have been originally used a back on march fourth on sergei and yulia screw paul there's lots of questions yet to be addressed about how they could have really common contact with the substance especially given the millions and millions of pounds that have been spent here in

the u.k. on decontamination operations so this investigation of course is continuing especially now with one of those people having died but there is hope that with charlie rally regaining consciousness hopefully more light could be shed on what exactly could have happened and of course this whole story with novacek has been media headlines here in the u.k. for months on end but these days it's overshadowed by the scandals that have been going on in westminster with teresa mayes cabinet of course we do know that foreign secretary boris johnson resigned that secretary david davis had resigned in recent days along with several other cabinet ministers causing lots of concern about whether or not to reserve may's government could just be a hiccup away from avoid a vote of no confidence eventually showing her the door and now none of this of course is looking very good in terms of future negotiations with brussels given the bracks a deadline is almost literally quite around the corner. ghost bridget's is the

biggest problem in the. of e.u. your k. relations and if they're of from being thought of with or without mr they fifth and unfortunately the idea of wrecked it hasn't left together who think they can so it's clear that with the chaos going on inside the government here in london as well as lots of questions yet still to be addressed about that not a chalk saga with these two massive stories that have really been gripping attention here in the u.k. lots of attention will now be paid to what happens next and whether or not the british government is going to be able to solve these problems taking place on its soil saga domenici headlines because it they are part of an overarching campaign to demonize russia or to create russia as the center of all evil of our country and

a government that is in taint term expansionist these are completely basis baseless allegations this breaks a crisis has consumes delish political class it's a greatest political crisis it does and has found itself in ghost and since the second world war unless it's arrested soon it's going to morph into an economic crisis a challenge to teresa neves leadership in the coming days and weeks ahead. tensions between europe and the u.s. are costing a massive shadow over wednesday's nato summit well donald trump continues to criticize allies for not spending more on defense brussels sent this public warning to the american president. the president trump america does not turkish. than europe india america appreciate your allies after all you don't have the money you have a lot of allies we cannot take you to your regular event. so

i have to go. i ask you which is somewhat third world and our. frankly maybe double would say. continues to insist that other members are not paying nearly enough as america bankrolls more than half of nato's budget in twenty forty nato members agree to spend two percent of their annual gross domestic product on defense by twenty twenty four trump is angry that only five states thought anywhere near that greece estonia the u.k. poland and romania the secretary general of the brussels based a military alliance says that members are upping their spending but not to please washington but independent journalist new crew of a told is that ahead of the summit chunks unpredictability is on people's minds everybody's very nervous here in brussels looking at the problem could happen

tomorrow or the day after with the the temperament with the way democracy usually does things you know use a bit reliable the spring so that all but afraid of what he's going to do miss the toss couldn't resist by saying you know mr trump should know who are his strategic allies and who are his problem he means probably floody me putin but this is trump bashing it's cheap advice and they should do that everybody's not to speak. this issue of finances because of the troops that are present in europe that the americans could send back home because of course also off the fact that several countries are renewing their fleet of fire bombers all together it's a dangerous cocktail for the unity of nato but of course it's so good to have a common enemy russia. are just six days left until the much anticipated trump of putin summit in house thinking with a lot of work still going on behind the scenes to make the meeting happen on

tuesday on quarter reports on how one of the key figures involved in that process seems to be shifting his views depending on where he is. once donald trump and vladimir putin agreed to meet on july sixteenth it seemed like the future bore better relations for both the u.s. and russia but those who helped to make it happen are already backpedaling after republican senator john kennedy said his meetings in russia were productive he returns to the u.s. telling c.n.n. a different story this is what i said number one shop screwing with american elections. and. our friends in russia not to interfere in our election stop screwing around in syria and help us several the mess i asked for their help. in bringing peace to syria gambling with putin is like hand feeding a shark you can do it but you have to do it very very carefully this is the beginning of a dom all our minister meeting was probably the toughest he's

a book that you have to watch put people do not what they say so we'll see senator did you really say stop throughout our election you really said that the foreign minister yes yes kennedy went on a diplomatic mission to russia with other republican senators in early july it was aimed at improving relations between washington and moscow leading up to the trump putin summit but even after the senator did a one in eighty upon returning to the states the kremlin said it wasn't surprised we're not wearing rose tinted glasses and understand perfectly well how much the american political establishment is pressured by stereotypes and internal and russian pressure and these stereotypes didn't only have an effect on how americans view russia upon their return democrats slammed the republican visitors they claim the trip amounted to surrendering to some sort of kremlin kleptocracy and as for the mainstream media they began to claim trump became a russian spy back in nineteen eighty seven in

a new cover story from new york magazine writer jonathan chait lays out what could be considered the worst case scenario for trying. russia collusion but don't trump has been a russian intelligence asset since one thousand nine hundred the peace acknowledges that that is probably not true but it might be so with all the name calling inspired floating around us political life it's kind of hard to see how anyone can expect the july sixteenth summit to be a productive one but you've got to remember is the military industrial complex in the west needs to. be in order to justify the huge amounts of money that they want to spend in order to make their profits and you know bones of terrorists in various third world countries simply don't create the enemy they need to spend the kind of money they want to spend. presents themselves from their point of view. is the necessary enemy. after years under the control of islamic state the

syrian city of rocco was liberated back in twenty seventeen but freedom came at a heavy price our colleagues from r.t. arabic of ten day exclusive video of rocca so that even now the streets are still strewn with bodies. investigates. 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 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 hearts and decomposition really set scene and there's a lot of bodies still to be found at the well in this grave there are people of all confessions militants civilians children. from all parts of society when i'm with. from the air strikes. killed by snipers. who 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 several last. hours they had dug up eighty bodies. of the main problems both in the buildings and the streets. so it's a big city as record needs. in the city as much as. we can expand it's no secret that things are not enough assistance not enough help no one spared any expense when it came to carpet bombing rock but they're counting 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 these groups 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 from friends that expertise 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 as far as how do we know how many civilians were killed just be honest no one will ever know anyone who claims there is lying

you'll never know how many died in iraq. that's what extent of hygiene it has been fired and now risks losing his home after revealing some of his refugee patients were pretending to be children when in fact they were. antelopes a court finds the money around forty one thousand euro arguing violated medical confidentiality so it is currently the third largest european recipient country of quota refugees which is led to some issues in identifying under-age asylum seekers magical age assessments in sweden have revealed some eighty percent of those applying for child my current status were actually much older than claimed. if you have an x. ray on the teeth you can see you are usually if you have that force these are wear or under eighteen years old eight the person who was grown up people.

i was fired because i followed the instructions to the second on the game if the woman from the immigration office and some to my guest office and this e-mail about these people was what was so i could be informed that the names of. the hired these. red top lawyer he's one of the best in sweden and they missed paid to. this is a place they 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 if you are going to pay for it could be problems i don't think service should be denied to coming to sweden. we have requested the gotland regional authorities to comment on the case but we have yet to restate our spots well we're going to be back at the top of the hour with the latest world news headlines and of course the latest on the football so do join us then.

and through fear. itself is saying hold on we'll it's one of those jobs back so merica by imposing sorrows to equalize the trade picture and move toward a post china extraction model you know where as private equity extracts wealth

using elaborate files china's but extracting wealth using leverage trade shenanigans so this is just the reverse a bad example as i hear it in some people's voices starts to make a little more sense that people don't understand that this guy actually understands more than people are giving him credit for. so you will both be end of the show not just us. into a debate on this i can upload what i mean i. think. i can make it i made up. thank.

you larry i look so good and something he can use he has enough he is by you. so much you're in the form of the view. almost humorous in their favor when he was in the north and the woman he pulls up in this film i will thank you most i will start to feel good. greetings and salutations when making important decisions in life sometimes you know it's best to wait as they say for all the evidence to come in this is true not

only for doctors and scientists but for journalists plumbers and politicians as well. or should be especially for politicians because unlike plumber swerve you jump tong conclusion the worst that can happen is your toilet explodes in your basement blood's when a politician jumps to the wrong conclusion or makes a knee jerk decision they end up causing world war three and people by take for example the recent revelations coming out of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons or o.p.c. w. tasked with determining just what happened in the syrian city of duma after allegations casualties and dramatic video surfaced back in april april seventh of a purported chemical weapons strike the agency has now released preliminary a political report stating that contrary to popular war hawking opinion no organic phosphorus nerve agents or degradation products were detected in the environmental samples or in the plasma samples taken from alleged casualties that sink in but

wait a minute i thought we were told over and over again about sarin gas chlorine and blood near and test revealing deadly nerve agents i mean heck even the white house even the white house and april thirteenth announced that according to u.s. analysis a significant body of information points to the regime using chlorine in its bombardment of duma while some additional information points to the regime also using the nerve agent sarin now while the o.p.c. w. did discover that chlorinated organic chemicals were indeed present two locations they made very clear that they have not made any determination on who was ultimately responsible and that they are still investigating but hey you know when you've got one hundred tomahawk missiles burning a hole in your war machines pocket why wait a few months why wait till july for an investigation as.
