our correspondent alexia traveled to dagestan habib's native land and spoke to his father and coach up ahead of the big fight you can practice your fighting skills in a sense on how to live with this installation it's called knock the chickens teeth out speaks a thousand words really about what people here feel about their own people who got me out of taking on the extravagant irishman called on my gregor in a big u.f.c. fight seems controversial to you that's nothing compared to the dark history between the two fighters. beginning on day he toppled just like you can what do you think about these guys.

i am part of over the years who make sure i regularly relieve them. around here send a message like location location and then i come will you will you want doesn't matter. you're. very honest most of you. will get the money that i saw and told them i get it she can enjoy life that is for me is more than fight for more than me and even enough for me personally. i have to save the lives but keep going and maul these guys and i'm not going down a man's knowledge straight he knows me. thank. there are too

many surprised about this fight the east versus the west the undefeated you have seen champion coming up against the man who once defected to boxing for a big money match the fire of color mcgregor's verbal attacks on hubby and the icy cold response by the man from speaking of which we spoke to the father of the who told us that this was in fact an adopted tactic. everything that we wanted to see and had we've seen in him restraint a clarity of vision complete tranquility will to step back will crack mcgregor mcgregor there's nothing scary about him and although it's just a regular fight we greg has made a huge deal out of this attracting a lot of media attention that's what he does what we need though is more positivity for young people a good role model for them to exercise more and eventually become fitter father was denied a u.s. visa and will be watching the match here along with thousands of happy most devoted

fans this will be the main venue it's a cinema but on sunday morning at five am it will be jam packed with people closest friends and relatives but you know what it's clear where the allegiances lie here in dagestan but surprisingly elsewhere in russia not everyone is rooting for the russian fighter. but i've been going there. with a. semi by limbs are gone and i can't use because these the that the better wrestler and he's the better than the boxer so yes i mean. you go a little go on this is a corner where the boy is a corner up you know these two guys. it's like us players first us play is close enough do you know these two guys know not so. ok so you know these two guys. you know when you could you pick

a winner from each one yeah yeah why i saw his fight so i know is a technique and skill so i find it a little bit on him. so all is set for the biggest fight any you have ceased twenty five year history and we will be covering it from here in the land of could be notable got the other. artsy reporting in the republic of dagestan in cola mcgregor's homeland people seem to have few doubts who will win i think mcgregor is going to win and i want mcgregor so when he has form he has confidence he has a good record of fighting tough opponents in tough situations and i think he's going to one of seeing could be on his previous fights and he's falafel it is slow to take a move very quick it's kind of i guess a few strikes of. game over as well as a couple this whites who want change and he's going to weigh in on mcgregor out to win. the hall of origin but while mcgregor this is no mike

a video for maybe the most anticipated minds of the season somewhat well the sea two of the big names tear into each other. part of russia they want me to get into a boxing match with them. that you know very well because the. french president of the has told his public to stop whining we'll explain why after the break.

seemed wrong. to shape our. culture. and it. was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm sure business i'll see you there. why should americans work their taxes stalin and obamacare stalin through the central bank that money transferred into the pockets of a few cartel members to create wealth and income gap social unrest social cohesion

arrests and wide scale poverty watch that. welcome back brazil will go to the polls within twenty four hours in a general election where a controversial right wing candidate is currently the front runner zaire both the naru is well ahead in the polls over former mayor of san paolo and and with the other candidates liking behind also now has been getting a lot of attention not least today's controversial remarks which earned him the nickname the brazilian trum. if you're a fan of drama and soap operas on a national scale you should be following brazilian politics it's got impeachments corruption scandals betrayals raising passions it even comes with an r rating for violence it's a guilty pleasure addictive but it's twists and turns and the season finale is just

around the corner the country goes to the polls in a general election at this sunday it's not want to miss if only to see the fate of the main protagonist meet. labelled the trump of the tropics like his blonde counterparts his relationship with women is complicated by the. joy of the way. he shoots from the hip and is a fan of firearms. i was just curious why were you still there both of you you thought gallo part of the rosie as well as the bible apparently just look at his slogan was. important was he able to talk to his supporters like trump fans admire someone who says how what is the song my. boss now says what everybody wants to say the does not have the courage to say that's why i'm voting.

number to my girl who was i believe what he says when he was in the honest person he's patriotic i think you know he's made it this far because he is not corrupt he's like family because he is ethical he is our only hope and that is why i'm here even those who love to hate but can't stand him because obvious similarities to trump i think i'm not the person world like car wrecks and even the inevitable protest movement is comparable to hash tag resistance in the usa cool. cool. although the added trump backlash never quite reach such fever pitch levels possibly because nobody managed to get the trump anyhow also not who has suffered for his straight talking even getting stabbed at a campaign rally. both soros is like

trump upgraded he takes things to a whole new level if too many laughs and this is what micron is right the friendship complaining too much i hope you have no reasons to complain and he's retired as well. as somebody who doesn't think like charles because he doesn't come up even to his name you see my playground is like someone with things that life is simple and everything but he's very far fairly is a pretty good. he looks like a young it's not seen much of ron's does not know how to speak with french people example oh my granny looks like a consultant the things he's at the head of the company he doesn't understand that he changed his role when he became president. he looks like a cock well who wants to impose his domination on the fund you know it doesn't work it looks like the guy that was a smaller announced. they are world has been left stunned after

a work by graffiti artist banksy which is just going under the hammer for more than a million dollars proceeded to self-destruct. the iconic stencil image girl with the red balloon was shredded a secret automatically activated device fitted at the base of its frame auction house attendees gasped as the prank unfolded before their eyes banksy whose works known for its anticapitalist took to instagram posting the message going going gone by i need me to upset though it's thought the work may have doubled in value as a result of the stunt. that wraps things up for this news hour join me in just over half an hour for the latest.

unfortunately the united nations security council and its approach to yemen is only to listen to the spaceship in boise ford's many months or two months and then that is until tuesday when weeks in the air owns and i mean that i mean into present tense in the security council would make statements which are always ready to. correct additional note of what was and gets up to look at some of these it's just a good usual thing it's not enough. simply yet swim if you can also proceed. to look at with a showing of the where. he think it will ship. your fish and thirdly. both of shipping. you up and most of the book is
