Soccer world cup in russia belgium beat england to take that top spot in cheek well bring you all the highlights of that mansion talk about all the world cup news but there are two different sports teams. And as zimbabwe prepares for historic elections next month a few of us christine one talks to farmers still grappling the legacy of former president Robert Mugabe. Im sumi so misconduct good to have you with us germany has forged an agreement with greece and spain to return migrants who previously registered asylum bids in those countries the deal announced by a German Government spokesman on twitter was struck on the sidelines of a major e. U. Migration summit in brussels leaders worked all night to hammer out a block wide agreement to tighten the e. U. s policy on migrants and Asylum SeekersEuropean Council president on altos confirmed. The key points of the main deal reached Processing Centers for Asylum Seekers will be opened within the e. U. External centers in north africa are being planned and that there will be tighter controls on the e. U. Ex journal border now italy which no longer wants to be responsible for all the migrants who land on its shores had threatened to veto one earlier statement now it says it feels its demands have been met well theres been a press conference with e. U. Leaders and. Has been covering that for us he joins us for more hi garrick weve heard that german chancellor Angela Merkel has been speaking announcing that germanys reach these agreements with spain and greece on Asylum Seekers tell us more. Of course that was the part of the good news from the americal in particular shes come as you know under friendly fire from her own Coalition Partner about the what so called secondary migration that is migrations from migrants who have reached europe for instance in italy in greece or in spain and then moves on words to other European Countries and that is something this flow of people she and in particular her Coalition Partner the c. S. U. Ones to stem and here she has managed to hammer out some bilateral deals with greece and spain who have said ok look we will take back these people who have moved on who have arrived in our country who have been registered in our country and in return germany for instance is willing to reunite families friends and so if a Family Member is still in greece and the rest of the family is already in germany then that Family Member could be could be called over a little faster so its a bit in that respect its a bit of a tradeoff all right so youre saying i cared some good news for the chancellor but at the same time the European Council president donald tusk struck a more sober target tone when he spoke to the press lets listen to what he said if we go and so do a migration its a shot too early to talk about the success. We have to reach an agreement in the repeal. But this is in fact the easiest part of that us. To go. For a new start implementing it. So why are we hearing donald tusk there speaking with such caution. Id say the german chancellor in that respect agreed to just listen to her press conference and she said of course it all depends now to what extent we can put that into reality what we have agreed but it is a leap forward from the you that at least there is agreement on more than just strengthening xstrata borders but the two key points that have been achieved which is if you want camps or they dont want to call it camps but Registration Centers or hotspot whatever you call it inside europe you still have to find the countries European Countries who are willing to set up these centers german chancellor said they havent even talked about which countries willing to do that only the countries that support this idea of setting up these centers and then also the same goes for the disempower cation platforms or whatever you will call them you need the countries outside the European Union who are willing to set up these camps and also you need the support of International Organisations german chancellor said its absolutely key that the un is on board when it comes to setting up the centers so implementation will be difficult kerrick that what is your take then on the summit results. Exactly it is all about implementation of the end it is it is important that they have finally talked these things over we have talked since three years now about potential external cams and how they could be set up what they could look like and it is now with pressure from italy but also pressure from inside germany that things have moved forward so there is a development here and i think it is that is important seeing of the larger picture is that the migration crisis is exploited by far right populist parties and that is something the french president is focused on this is the real threat its not a migration crisis as such the numbers are way too low but it is the fact that other parties for far right wing parties are exploiting the subject in order to gain in local elections and therefore it is important that europe now finds a viable a long standing solution for the issue of migration and i did of his garrick motus reporting from brussels for us thank you carol. And theres another stark reminder today of the dangers facing people trying to reach europe from north africa around a hundred migrants are feared dead after their boat capsized off the coast of libya Authorities Say the incident happened east of the capital tripoli its not yet clear how many people were on board the vessel in total some fourteen people are understood to have been rescued.

The group stage of the world cup is over we have nic mechanic line from sports with us to wrap it all up for us so nick yesterday saw the last matches of the group play there and we saw belgium against england and belgium still looking really good surprising actually sent out there between both teams did because there was more theres less to play for they didnt want to go in the group they want to finish second but last night they were two very good to the teams. Go there in his first for the country and the interesting thing is he used to play for Manchester United in england at the time about making a naturalized citizen so he could play for anyone they set up the people of the f. A. A. Last night hes from scratch their heads thinking had we had we just he wouldve been scoring for us instead of belgium im a bit what about a number because theyve lost a bit of momentum and theyve arrested the starting line up in the last time they did that was two years ago the euros and they went on to boost iceland in the next round so it doesnt bode well but theres no iceland so it couldnt it was going to happen this time around well theres certainly a lot to play for a group and if you look at colombia yesterday it looks like they got things back on track absolutely yeah they started to win with a defeat against japan but one next game against poland last night they want to get the only goal in that game coming from gary mina in the seventy fourth minute and it meant that colombia won the group the tougher thing though is actually for senegal who were the losers in this particular game they were the last african team who could have qualified for the last sixteen and because of the way this game ended they were the messi of the fi fair play rule and of course japan who play the same time yeah lets talk about that japan game theres some controversy there against poland so poland won their first game atonement is a good thing but you knew that if results went away they would advance the last sixteen so the situation here is that beginning with the goal for poland young bednar its going that only go in the fifty ninth minute quite a nice header. This is his first goal for the country but after we have this scene were seeing here as they have a myth. It wasnt a shot of the head of the japan players hit just part of the hold on the back and the reason why they were doing that is because they were trying not to lose the ball to concede a goal because they were in the same number of points number of goals scored as. Senegal but they had to be less yellow cards so this fair play rule means that if everyones equal then the yellow cards counts because japan had less they went through and that means as you said senegal is going home and that means there is no african teams going to the next stage of the tournament why is that exactly i mean thats the west because the african teams west performance in one nine hundred eighty two and weve seen some decent displays of the last years cameroon one nine hundred ninety senegal two thousand and two gone and two thousand and ten who has made it the semifinal in the reason why these teams arent making any further in my opinion just chances theyre not given the chance if you put into perspective africa their fifty five african countries you could in theory qualify for the world cup but only five qualifying spaces the way from the hand also fifty five countries get thirteen fourteen if you include russia who are the host this time around or the south americans or ten south american countries who can qualify for the world cup four and a half places going there so its just theres no equilibrium african teams have a very small chance of actually going to the world cup its all and then theyre in groups against pretty big teams and they just dont have the opportunity to advance the same way as teams from Europe South America to the right theyre not the only ones or sixteen teams now going home who we missed the most probably panama even though they lost six want to get sing them just the way they celebrated scoring a goal being at the world cup it is incredible to see and it was so nice to see a team gets the world cup for the very first time just enjoy what it is right will definitely a lot to look forward to in the knockout stages nic mechanic line from good news for thanks very much well today is a rest day for the remaining world cup teams before the next crucial knockout phase begins on saturday so how is russia handling the worlds biggest football festival its the halfway mark so lets take stock. Theres everything from russian folk music. And dance a multicultural festival to delight the eyes and ears of thirsty football fans no matter which team is winning or losing on the pitch. Went to take a look if you want to know what the mood is like at the Halfway Point of the gold cup here and also you have to come here to nicoles castrates in the heart of moscow because so much is going on here this is why the party is. Owners have issued a drastic warning be surprised could be running low but even after two weeks of them a brand new others have been completely refurbished. It is well the couple is a matter of great prestige for russia. Its an opportunity for us to show our country in a new large way different from our image in the west everything in russia has been meticulously prepared. For. Fifteen thousand volunteers have been recruited to help the fans from all around the world extra english lessons have been laid on to counter the cliche that russians cant speak any other languages thank you very day that might get us out of the most important thing is smile so this every this is a feels welcome. To smile when we arent you and we keep smiling. At the. Good. It all feels very positive but many are asking what will happen in russia after the final whistle blows. Over a charter towards russia will be what it has always been an all thora tarion state reactionary and listless the full. All will be quickly forgotten and sold through internationally putin may not be seen as sore isolated for that but that doesnt take anything away from the importance of the world cup. Over the next two weeks the world will be watching as the fans party on in celebration of the worlds biggest sporting extract. Lets bring in our moscow correspondent yury rich shadow for more on this hi yuriy so the world cup has brought a positive atmosphere to russia will it also bring lasting change well i think this world cup is definitely changing russia at least temporarily and this is the more the most important work for four weeks it even goes further than that its turning the country completely upside to down things that seemed impossible forbidden to be suddenly allowed you can walk in the evening with a beer through the city you can celebrate the loudly you can be fried in your feelings and even the russian policeman who usually look at you greenlee seem to be more approachable and then usually and of course thats all thanks to the thousands of fans from other countries who are currently traveling in russia and celebrating together with the russian fans of this world cup so youre a from what youve seen what has surprised you the most with the country hosting this event. Well moscow where i live has always been a very special city where people off friendly are more tolerant and three year than in the rest of the country and of course i know that the most russians are very fond of meeting for in the us and welcoming other cultures as well but i never thought suit me that spark over delight if you want to pass on to the russians so quickly from the times mexicans brazilians and others and infect everyone with the joy would also surprise me it was an enormous wave of sympathy toward to the german team i have lost count of the number of times i was asked in the last few days whats up with the german footballers germany is still very popular here in russia and to the german team used to be also very liked to better they are now not here anymore too bad indeed youre a so thats in moscow eleven cities though are hosting these games has a world cup fever had them as well well i think you can feel the very special very festive mood all over the country even though russia isnt a Football Nation compared to spain for example as studies say that only twenty percent of russians are football fans in the spain thinks if he is eighty five percent of the population so much higher but this world cup is more than football first the enthusiasm rises and falls everywhere with the performance of the National Team and eve they play surprisingly well the joy become boundless the russian team has been a sensational a good for russia so far that makes people happy here everywhere and the second is that the russians are of course very happy with that this world cup hasnt to be and ignore it and that they are not isolated in this country its not just president putin and this state be the ship about the millions of ordinary people who are happy when guests come come from all over the belt as you said its gone off really well in russia and sports is also all politics there were calls even to boycott this event before it started tell us what this is meant then for Vladimir Putin the russian
