they all had one match less then crew issued to play because they didn't play against belgium and the majority of the players. were young feeds the players when i looked at the sink. and so did three years old just to be your yes thirty something like that and a part of that the players are all very young and between england and croatia croatia has great mentality. a fantastic neutral player to control the game in the possession of the game but being wrong. is a happy team when it could all be down to a rubber chicken with a crucial march on the right of the england squad to find a rather unique way of loosening up.

or whatever it is he's been working towards reached the semifinals for the first time in twenty eight years and team captain hurricanes among the favorites for the world cup golden boot award of his six tournament goals all that adding to the fans' excitement expectation for today that. oh i. i i. may i may just in time is one mad rush and the people absolutely love. has been some bad press for example talk about hooligans in russia and the english. poisoning the well so what were the things that you were hearing about russia

before came here i'd say. like it's like it's like stereo but it's really got some of my spice ever. and it's true much you get back to it but once people realized. they were out there with pleasure we want to go to well. i think. i want to come on your officials and actually boycott it because they said they're not. just because they are officials. do you think it's time to do something like some of the other countries have done like sweden denmark and say ok now that we're in the semifinals really enough of that and just being childish. i should give. back. to the country people yeah.

but yeah we speak to them pretty much every day and we see them off to the guy says well you remember the case with. the world when. members of his family not to come to russia. it was it was all racism is the like that having been here we are going to have anything to say about you but yeah. whatever was said before is completely been overruled by my experience here this week we have now so you know probably. people have now been fantastic with the food has been great but there's been great . look what's coming back to them another time but you russian spy a possible possible. you still got time england fans come out to russia. coming. yeah well talking of which the takes us nicely on to this when it

comes to supporting the team there's only one from that the english fans need to it's coming home it's been reverberate in every venue. with the i did a bit of a history lesson here the song was originally called three lions it was released more than twenty years ago i can remember the first one but then england was hosting a european championship the first major event since the one hundred sixty six world cup when the songs of all sense of course it now refers to england's hopes of winning the world cup eighteen now returning the trophy to the sport's disputed birthplace is the dream is a version with a russian twist. it's. just

sticks six so. i thought. i told her. i told. her. russian style he will bring you our special coverage of world cup team from our special studio in moscow stopped in about forty five minutes time meantime keep across his bar up for us.

to trump ian kind of view it is an understatement to say donald trump is an unconventional and orthodox political figure in his critics do have a point when they say trump appears to be harsher with allies than with real or imagined enemies then there's the middle east and iran claims trump so obsessed with terrain. all the security back in asms and agencies and the saying we don't want to be part of britain anymore he got caught helping stopping out aviation companies we imagine banks stopping out everyone wants to get out because if you don't have the super for all the institutions that cover the yet to be part of that and you saw to be a separate go it alone island under a large rain cloud swimming in my. shipping some of the i get a crown. in france germany and italy in the last are saying no we don't want to be

part of. the football for a minute and look at some stories making headlines of fact that's happening right now live lives of lives pictures in of the nato military alliance set to meet later with delegations arriving in brussels it looks like the talks are already underway of tensions between the u.s. and other members have become very apparent double trouble. busting states for failing to contribute enough to the alliance tell the other side of the table jens stoltenberg the nato secretary general said they shouldn't just to please america peter all of us got the story for you as nato leaders come together in brussels the alliance seems more disunited then ever to start with the most influential member

of the block is it odds with its partners and the money. they want to tell you get a set of bills united states. for years nato has been a club where the majority of members don't pay what they should including key allies and europe's biggest economies like germany which is way off the pace in fact again stoltenberg the nato secretary general has said that only seven out of the twenty seven year repeat in nato members living up to the two percent of g.d.p. that they're supposed to contribute it was agreed on to expect eight allies to spend at least two percent of g.d.p. on defense to see it moreover european partners a considering a defense force of their own outside of nato on the beginning of the next. a common falls of intervention a common defense budget and a common doctrine interaction then there's what to do about russia chancellor

angela merkel wants to focus more on what she sees as a threat posed by moscow while donald trump wants closer ties with russia he's heading off for a meeting with vladimir putin just a week after sitting down with these nato buddies this board that's true and we have to focus more on defending the alliance and in order to do that we have to make necessary arrangements for example through a presence in central and eastern european countries you know what. the nato secretary general it seems isn't to concerned about disagreements between leaders believe see in what we call the dual track approach of russia combining defense with dialogue we don't want a new cold war we don't want a new on shows russia so a neighbor russia state to state but that can't gloss over some fairly naked barbs

coming from europe directed at the united states the president. does not target. europe america appreciate your allies after all you don't have that many. with so much dissatisfaction within the alliance it does beg the question just how relevant is nato in today's world i don't think that nato was ever designed to ensure global security i don't think that was ever part of the years original mission but once the cold war ended nato has been seeking its mission ever since there was nothing left to do really after the end of the cold war think there is more of a feeling of threat again that nato led by the u.s. is increasing the tensions not beating two more security. meantime in b.c. to come the highly anticipated return between donald trump and president putin next

monday in helsinki seems to put the rumor mill into overdrive some parts are even speculating now that the us president's been a soviet spy for decades of talks that it was also free nj crazy stuff of conspiracy theorists in pinfall had but they've done it they've really done it and they went right in the deep end. as trump arranges to meet face to face in privately with vladimir putin later this month it would be dangerous not to consider the possibility the summit is less a negotiation between two heads of state than a meeting between a russian intelligence assets and his handler it's a whole study with charts and spread she'd send insane conspiracy theories and new york magazine isn't alone more and more media outlets are coming out into the open and saying trump is

a russian agent despite the fact that he's starved almost his entire administration with anti russian hawks but the dissent to this new low was gradual take the washington post forty six years ago it brought down a president in the watergate scandal using only quality journalism in two thousand and sixteen it promoted media which aren't. proper knox monitoring report identifies more than two hundred websites as routine peddlers of russian propaganda during the election season we've combined audiences of at least fifteen million americans at some point bashing russia trumped the truth turns out citing shadowy organizations that have come out of nowhere in an article or fake news wasn't the best idea media and readers are like ripped into the washington post for that one but it was a turning point take m.s.n. b.c.

who rachel maddow left she's developed something of an obsession over russia in recent years seeing putin's hand everywhere everywhere in russia russian russia russia russian russia russia russia of whether or not russia had help whether they had confederates inside the truck campaign when they launched this attack and one very big thing that was definitely off about that meeting if you take that train across that bridge from north korea where you end up in is russia but every day and every day i leave my show and i think i'm going to be talking about something else but every day over the course of the news cycle a new piece of it falls in place rachel maddow peddles to a specific audience an audience that wants the hear what it believes in a lot what to believe and you can say that of any audience though people only listen to what they want to hear less news more show.

his shoe is a piece of sleight of hand presented as a cable news show it is t.v. entertainment it is financed it permits liberals to enjoy themselves you're in what may be the most certainly an enjoyable town the political line or take the new york times which last year claimed that trump associates were include contact with russian agents jury in the election only to be debunked by none other than former f.b.i. head james komi the challenge that i'm not picking on reporters about writing stories about classified information is the people talking about it often don't really know what's going on and those of us who actually know what's going on and are talking about it quality journalism doesn't sell any more neither does neutrality or even common sense the numbers prove it last september the washington post crossed the one million subscribers mark the new york times made more than

a billion dollars in total subscription revenue and rachel maddow became the most watched who in march society is fracturing and there is little common ground to be found it's a national departure from reality that is being helped along by truth journalism in tao with the truth president. well here's another headline the end of the world is not or is it with midterm elections in the us to november it seems some of taken a doomsday approach when trying to appeal to voters is. the upcoming midterm congressional elections are certainly a crucial political of that but there's way more to it than you think it's going to nancy pelosi the minority leader on capitol hill civilization as we know today is that risk in this election we have to win we have to win civilization at risk

goodness that sounds quite serious now she's not the only one to think of the upcoming election. of existential importance and no less if you one of these folks is watching cable news you cocktail parties with your friends and you sing civilization is collapsing and you're nervous and worried but that is not where you personally do time energy and money than either you don't actually think civilization is collapsing so you're not pushing yourself hard enough and i would push harder the time for diagnosis is over it is cancer midterms are america's last chance at remission register to vote we can beat this disease now filmmaker michael moore is urging the liberal rank and file to seize the moment what are we willing to commit to what would you give your life for what would you be willing to do to actually put yourself on the line for that moment is now we are going to lose our democracy if we haven't already we have no choice my friends we all have to rise up so is the future of human civilization really at risk at the november polling place

we decided to ask people here in new york city i would say possibly the fate of american civilization at stake i think set out. civilization this well i don't know i think it's a little over the top now not at all they were said kim jong un was going to blow up the world a couple i know how many months ago there hyperventilating they do this all the time why would nancy pelosi say that. now it's hard to tell if ordinary americans are is fired up as their t.v. screens and political leaders would like them to be let's not forget that the vote is still months away and the hysteria will probably escalate and pick up steam cable mop and r.t. new york it's kevin zero zero at the equator of one of the big build up to today's clustering kray sure to eglin to mosco starts with special coverage just about thirty minutes or so what should have been great wednesday.

it's hard to imagine decades after the war a nazi doctor was still active. in the nineteen seventies crittle had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at auschwitz a german company developed. a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy and it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything. you know she said is just. victims i have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering that i not only want the money i want the revenge.

this is boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. i'm bart chilton and thank you for joining us today coming up u.s. president donald trump has made a nomination to the u.s. supreme court what does it mean for business finance and other issues will ask lionel of lionel media and as the u.s. tries to stop iran from exploiting oil iran says it will speed ahead we'll be joined by chris martenson the founder of peak prosperity dot com to discuss the circumstances and the potential for dire consequences and the car coach lauren fix is back we'll get into auto industry news including what took place this morning in shanghai as tesla c.e.o. must made a major announcement all that directly ahead but first we get to some headlines

just present donald trump departed washington this morning arrived in brussels just a short time ago for a weeklong european tour that will start with a nato summit mr trump has set the table for his visit with nato leaders by complaining via his favorite method of communications twitter that quote the u.s. is spending many more many times more than any other country in order to protect them not fair to the u.s. taxpayers mr trump's twitter complaints echo complaints he made in letters recently sent to fellow nader leap nato leaders u.s. partners in europe have reportedly taken offense the tone of the letters mr trump spoke to the media before departing for europe. well it'll be an interesting time in the u.k. and it's certainly going to be. fairly but i think we'll work something out very far too much and they say far too little but we will work it out . god will be happy. will see on the happiness part the

president's travel include two days in brussels then to london for a meeting with embattled british prime minister theresa may mr trump triple and with a meeting with russian president vladimir putin in helsinki finland on monday and will have more on this in the coming days. the washington post has reported that private equity firm warburg pincus has entered the business of mailing checks to desperately poor people then hitting them with interest rates equal to or higher than those of payday lenders the story raised some eyebrows here in washington because former obama treasury secretary timothy geitner who i know from experience was not the foremost champion of holding wall street accountable for the two thousand and eight debacle is now president and managing director at warburg pincus the company owns and manages mariner finance which mails checks with fine print hiding interest rates as high as get this three hundred five percent that's

reportedly legal in at least one us state that's mississippi by the way the predatory so-called consumer installment loan sector is growing in part due to attempts to evade new restrictions on payday lenders according to the national consumer law center or n c l c two thousand and fifteen report the n c l c said five states have no limits on rates for these lows loans while another six states merely say that rates cannot be quote unquote unconscionable folks three hundred five percent is unconscionable and a disgrace and warburg pincus spokesperson defended the profit profitable practice saying it quote fills a social need lets hope a former u.s. treasury secretary fixes this and fast come on tell. us president donald trump has nominated federal court judge brett kavanaugh to replace anthony kennedy on the supreme court kavanagh fifty three years old was selected from a list of candidates approved by the right wing federalist society if nominated die

. crafter concern that mr cavanagh could cement a hard right bloc of five justices that would almost certainly an active broad shift to the right across many if not all sectors of life and law in the united states jeff bennett of n.b.c. news tweeted this morning that the outgoing justice kennedy had been in months of negotiations with the trump white house over who would replace him if he retired bennett reported that kennedy quote felt comfortable retiring once assured that mr cavanaugh would be nominated the report seems to corroborate a similar but head report in politico and may create grounds to challenge both the kavanagh nomination and supreme court decisions made with kennedy's vote one negotiations with the trump white house were underway a white house spokesperson did not deny the n.b.c. report when asked directly about it earlier today and judge kavanagh will need to be approved by the u.s. senate and late today a group of senate democrats standing in front of the supreme court gathered to

denounce the selection saying that if successful the new justice could lead to an alteration of the infamous roe versus wade decision on reproductive rights and issues related to health care among others and here to discuss the nomination and more and what it might mean for business and finances why no of why no media who is also for those of you who don't know an attorney lionel thank you so much for being with us i heard the judge said that he thought it was important for justices to be independent interpret law and not make the law and they should do so on form informed by history and tradition they all seem to say that but what else do we know about judge brett kavanaugh. well a couple of things he was in the d.c. circuit and that is considered the the twenty seven yankees of the best of bench possible for future skoda judges they deal almost exclusively with administrative cases and i'm going to tell you something some of the most boring reading you have ever had the opportunity to even get to you know

people have a couple of things a couple of misunderstandings let me clarify something and listen carefully and put this in the record books and freeze this role against wade will never be overruled it will never be reversed it will always be the law of the land i promise you i guarantee you the legislature has made a limited somewhat there may be some curtailing in terms of what is fine that it what is not but a woman's fundamental reproductive right to an abortion whatever you want to call it will never ever be interrupted or impinged upon you have my word on this this is a scare tactic and a waste of our time while that may be comforting for some pit folks but i'm sure that the democrats on the senate side will continue to raise these concerns you know. and i prefer that you have read a lot of these decisions from the judge and i'm wondering you know we talk about

social issues and that's that you know the thing that we do when these things happen i've been watching him for thirty plus years but from a business or finance perspective were you able to garner anything in the judge's past that that tells us where he will be a most types of issues i mean is he pro-business or anti-business or it's hard to tell very very pro-business let me give an example i think we had we were going to discuss this classic case of the c.f.p. b. this is the consumer financial protection board case which was. absolutely riveting in the world of administrative law. why does the two hundred and fifty page on bonk match monster meaning all of the justices all of the judges rather of the d.c. circuit got together and ruled on this and basically what it said was simply this

that it said article two the ability of the president to be president and the the maintaining of separation of powers would prevent these c.f.p. be these consumer organizations these outboard groups which by the way is an extension of dodd frank one of the creations of elizabeth warren that would seek to curtail the penalize rogue mortgage companies and credit card abuses and the like what he said was simply this rather than say listen these people get in the way of business they crafted it as such they said this is a violation of the president's plan a repository under article two the separation of powers one of the greatest attributes of anybody who wants to create something this is on the court who won something to happen whether it's because of religious reasons political reasons ideological reasons from abortion to gun control to unit the art is to be able to

craft it in such a way that it sounds legal jurisprudential juridical just like the biggest con ever was when scalia said i'm a textualist i'm an originalist those are children i don't read into their constitution i don't legislate from the bench oh yes they do who got it for years so this is all fall draw and of nonsense but he's pretty to use the word right wing if that applies you know i did read that judge kavanagh ruled that and i think it was back in maybe two thousand and eight or two thousand and nine that presidents cannot be a suit that they're not they can be subject to lawsuits and i wonder if that played into mr trump's decision to pick him. well that might be ok but the problem is clinton against jones would have already overruled that one he also was very very strong when it comes to second amendment rights he is also he had a very interesting a look at

a person's right. illegal immigrant or undocumented whatever particular phrase you want to use who came in and demanded and received an abortion now this is red meat for the prototypical right wing and he dissented as you can imagine but you have to read the way he says it is very very crafty look let me just leave you what with one thing when a judge puts that robe on historically judges presidents have thought i have got the best guy possible j.f.k. picked whizzer white byron white who turned out to be very very conservative nixon picked harry blackmun who gave us rule against wade the classic the greatest ever was earl warren eisenhower said this was one of the worst decisions ever because of the warren court anthony kennedy sandra day o'connor were adamant in maintaining role and reagan said i don't understand this so the idea that you know what some judge is going.
