gathered this morning to protest against what happened yesterday because two teenage boys who were here with their families were killed when those strikes came in people he fed up they want relief they want people to break the siege for them and that's all they can do pretty much all they can do just send balloons for sent flying kites and we've seen that you know israelis were killed no one wasn't a wall on the palestinian side one hundred more than one hundred thirty five people killed where you have. that you do it you'll. guard sides and kill people kill it target the children so i don't think it's up of equation then learns does not equal to. life so there is enormous frustration here that after more than three and a half months of protests at the border fence to try and get some relief from the blockade the twelve year old blockade and siege of gaza this is what they get

instead and that frustration is what has been leading to these intensified clashes and confrontations with israel and the concern is that there is not some sort of long term solution to ending the siege or at least relieving the siege of gaza then one of these confrontations could spiral into outright full scale conflict well israel is saying bunning kites being flown across the gaza border by palestinian protesters are increasing the tensions between the two sides a kite's which began as part of weekly friday protests against the occupation of burned thousands of acres of israeli land stephanie decker has more now from jerusalem. these kites handmade with flaming rags have become a tool for palestinian protesters rallying along gaza spens they've not called a single death but they have burned more than seven thousand acres of land on the israeli side the israeli prime minister issued a warning about the kites at sunday's cabinet meeting hours after his military

targeted have mass in gaza and some others and we've heard it being said that israel has agreed to a cease fire that would allow the continuation of terrorism by incendiary cuts and balloons this is incorrect we are not prepared to accept any attacks against us and we will respond appropriately for now the egyptian brokered cease fire between hamas and israel appears to be largely holding but it is fragile israel will not tolerate a scenario by which its citizens will be constantly held hostage by the hamas so hopefully there will be. but the problem is sometimes. in this city by which a kindergarten. is here or something can spark a huge explosion. on the streets of occupied east jerusalem we also palestinians how they feel about the kites and israel's attacks and they have a certain they don't have any other tools it's true that these cuts can be harmful

it's our land burning but the land is occupied and they don't have any other way to resist. gazans are real mean but we here are very weak if we had the right mindset we would all close our shops in solidarity with gaza the march of return rallies are now into their fourth month with protesters demanding the right for palestinian refugees to return to their homes they were evicted from one thousand nine hundred forty eight scores have been killed by israeli snipers it's a political problem for israel the refuses to go away we're told israel doesn't want an escalation its army is already busy on its northern border in the occupied golan heights but israel has made it clear. that if the flaming kites continue it is ready to increase its military action the army and the intelligence services have been warning the political leadership that the current blockade on gaza is not sustainable and if it continues it could lead to an all out conflict the flaming kites have already led to the biggest escalation since the two thousand and

fourteen war the question now is will they stop and will the palestinians of gaza be getting anything in return stephanie decker al-jazeera jerusalem much will still ahead for you on the program we're looking at widespread condemnation for nicaragua's president after two students were killed at a siege on a university campus. eritrea's president visits ethiopia as the decade's long rivals pursued a new era of friendship. well again look at weather conditions across the levant and western parts of asia first of all we have got one or two showers in the southern side of the caspian sea so no size chance of a shower towards tehran otherwise thirty bris wins i think then across much of rice or some lifted dust likely to be the problem here still plenty of showers around the caucuses particular for georgia and could be some flooding as

all four hundred fifty rebels and family members have been moved from southern syria is province they were given safe passage to leave after russia brokered a cease fire between the government and opposition fighters eight days ago syrian forces are now in control of most of their are following an intense bombing campaign rebels will be taken to opposition held areas in northern syria meanwhile a convoy of humanitarian aid has reached several towns in syria's daraa over three thousand food parcels were delivered to the towns of nasib and. near the border with jordan hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced by the government's offensive on the province which began in june. well two other developments now u.s. president donald trump is flying to finland for his landmark summit with the russian leader vladimir putin president trump has been lowering expectations ahead of the summit those are diplomatic editor james bays reports. helsinki a city that joining the cold war was used as one of the few places where western

allies and the soviet union could talk some believe relations are almost at a cold war level again yet one leader keeps talking up the positive and i said putin may be the easiest of them all you never know the biggest blow to relations was russia's seizure of crimea from ukraine the first time a part of one country had been stolen by another in europe since world war two at the time it was condemned by the us nato and the you. however in recent days at two news conferences in belgium and the u.k. president trump was asked if russia should give back crimea and each time he dodged the question what will happen with crimea from this point on that i can't tell you well we'll have to see what happens far from here the syrian war seems to be entering its final phases the assad regime would support from its allies iran and

russia has the upper hand the u.s. and israel want to reduce iranian presence in the country and its influence in the region could there be a grand bargain in the works. only days ago israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was in moscow putin could perhaps persuade a sad to ask iran to leave his country trump could lift objections to russia's control of crimea far fetched perhaps but just listen to the way the ukrainian ambassador to the u.n. is clinging to previous statements by members of the u.s. administration on crimea i think that. that will come from several times by but by many many other u.s. official thrum and mr bolton to all the the the the spokesman for the white house and many other. officials who come from the principal all those who obviously wolf they've assumed that the illegal accession of crimea but i should

never be recognized remarkably for part of this summit in finland's presidential palace trump is likely to meet putin alone just as he did in singapore with kim jong un in june the u.s. is closest allies are worried what this most unpredictable president might agree to behind these walls james pays al-jazeera helsinki. well to nicaragua now where the president has been criticized internationally after a siege on a university campus in which it least two students were killed the students at occupy the campus calling the president daniel ortega to resign as reports. after more than fifteen hours in the suit students at new get i was national antonymous university were freed. the cardinal. negotiated the release with gunmen. who pleaded for her life

government calls protesters terrorists and coup plotters it blames them for the deaths of policemen and three months of bloody confrontations around the country but rights groups say the majority of attacks are perpetrated by government forces the siege has left many got one families devastated but the question is whether the government will continue with the use of force or will sit. at the negotiating table this week. cardinal brainless said this by the curry has also been targeted they want to resume peace talks between protesters and the government on tuesday however they're worried about the safety of the students and their families. we will also continue to conduct negotiations with the government so the lives of the students and that of their families are respected. but the lives of the students and their families may continue to be at risk for protesters say they will continue

to fight to topple president than a lot bigger. and well government forces do nothing to arrest gunmen in plain clothes and heavily armed shoot in plain daylight with impunity. i guess sanchez and just see them now when you got out. present have work is on his first visit to ethiopia in more than two decades towards reconciliation after the tear it is a great and years of hostilities and i'm going to die has more from. it's a new era of normalization of relationships between a train and if you appeal to countries that have them bitter enemies just weeks ago the visit by the tram president. is feeding only his general sense of exile and within the ethiopian public that finally peace is possible between eritrea and ethiopia not been achieved already the two leaders have agreed on the reconnection of form lines that have been used for the past twenty years the reopening of

embassies in both couples are also the first flight from at this. for the first time in two decades later this week. what many people are waiting for is when these two countries start discussing the nitty gritty of what actually is the belt in one thousand nine hundred eighteen which comes of thousands were killed where will the border policy which a village that is disputed will go to a ball would come to ethiopia but they are willing to compromise for the sake of peace between the two countries. look at the top stories now france have defeated croatia to win the two thousand and eighteen football world cup after a thrilling match in the russian capital they claim victory with four goals to two

up in twenty five minutes time all have the news out for you then coming up next on al-jazeera it's inside story. what should the world expect from the trump put in summit in helsinki accusations of election tampering the war in syria ukraine and arms control issues at stake between the u.s. and russia so will the two leaders reach a common ground this is inside story.

and welcome to the program. u.s. president donald trump and russian leader vladimir putin i expect to hold their first one on one meeting in house on monday but the two leaders will hold some of those meetings without a that's worrying diplomats trump has been under pressure to cancel the summit altogether that's after the u.s. justice department charged twelve russians with hacking to democratic party and hillary clinton during the two thousand and sixteen election campaign president trump has promised to confront putting on the issue will bring in our guests shoulder but first this report from our diplomatic editor genspace. helsinki a city that joining the cold war was used as one of the few places where western allies and the soviet union could talk some believe relations are almost at

a cold war level again yet one leader keeps talking up the positive and i said putin may be the easiest of them all you never know the biggest blow to relations was russia's seizure of crimea from ukraine the first time a part of one country had been stolen by another in europe since world war two at the time it was condemned by the us nato and the e.u. . however in recent days to news conferences in belgium and the u.k. president trump was asked if russia should give back crimea and each time he dodged the question what will happen with crimea from this point on that i can't tell you well we'll have to see what happens far from here the syrian war seems to be entering its final phases the assad regime would support from its allies iran and russia has the upper hand the u.s. and israel want to reduce iranian presence in the country and its influence in the

region could there be a grand bargain in the works. only days ago israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was in moscow putin could perhaps persuade a sad to ask you ron to leave his country trump could lift objections to russia's control of crimea far fetched perhaps but just listen to the way the ukrainian ambassador to the u.n. is clinging to previous statements by members of the u.s. administration on crimea i think that. that will come from several times by the book but by many many of us official thrum. mr bolton to be the be the spokesman for the white culture and many other. officials who come from the principal all those who use wolf they've assumed that the illegal invasion of crimea but osha should never be recognized remarkably for part of this summit in

finland's presidential palace trump is likely to meet putin alone just as he did in singapore with kim jong un in june the u.s. is closest allies are worried what this most unpredictable president might agree to behind these walls james plays out zira helsinki. just a few days ahead of that meeting of the u.s. department of justice charge twelve russian intelligence officers for hacking into the mayors of hillary clinton's staff during the two thousand and sixteen presidential campaign it's the first time u.s. officials have directly charged russia's government of meddling the indictment says the defendants told documents from computers belonging to clinton and her democratic party and made them public while working for the russian military intelligence those accused allegedly years a technique called spear fish and where they sent e-mails with a virus and the spying software russia's foreign ministry has denied the

allegations and says the indictment was timed to damage the upcoming summit in how thinking. let's bring in our panel joining us from the u.s. state of virginia thomas pickering who is a former u.s. ambassador to russia in berlin toss them ben a director of the global public policy institute and in moscow pavel felgenhauer a columnist. on defense and military affairs welcome to you or thomas i would like to ask you this particular question about the upcoming summit do you think it is definitely going to be a confrontational one given the mounting pressure from both countries. no i do know i think president could trip remains totally unpredictable so anything i have to tell you here is based on the best guess present trump has continued over years to in one way or another soft pedal flat or call president

putin with the idea in mind obviously that it's some point he's going to be able to use that as a successful way to negotiate something with president putin that can redound to his advantage afterall president trump is in many ways the classic ego narcissist and what he achieves is very much is own publicity and his own self promotion ideas of u.s. citrus seem to be secondary much as they were in singapore with kim jong un when at the end he stepped forward and said quite unexpectedly was ending military cooperation exercises with the republic of korea something that no one expected in apparently something for which he got nothing or very little in return so there is deep on certainty in america is divided and president trump and the republican

party and most of the stalwarts and most of the people that the good ukrainian ambassador just spoke about are people who don't share trump's unpredictability with his rather benign news about president putin ok and that division is there but not controlling as we have seen this week going to really quite disastrous meetings at nato and with mrs may in which trump backed it up on his own so expect the on own the unpredicted on an off the docks coming out of this meeting from president from tustin do you think this is going to be about substance all the fly less will ultimately it just boils down to the style of the meeting. it's hard to tell but certainly europeans are more these are two leaders meeting who share a distaste for strong your distaste for liberal democracy a distaste for the truth a distaste for alliances and trump has already been wrecking the atlantic alliance

during his trip to brussels and london this week and many europeans want worse is in store at the same time i think mr trump has said like putin may be the easiest of them all i don't agree with the meeting with president putin will be very tough for mr trump it was easy to use the allies in brussels as just support actors that can be shouted at and pushed around and denigrated and he cannot do that with president putin and it will be very hard to come up with a result that he can brand as a success it will be much harder then at the brussels meeting the meeting will come against the backdrop of the indictment of twelve russian intelligence officers by the united states. department of justice is this something which is likely to top the agenda of the meeting between the two leaders. most sure work on top of the

edge and either poor president bush and neither president actually trump wants to talk about that or interested to talk about that though may be for the record tramples say i mentioned that there are a set top forty in the us not good and that's it and he more or less speaking at the press conference this thursday in brussels sort of lol yes i mentioned russian interference that said that he'll say that and bush will say he doesn't on that and that's the end of story they have a big lot on their. plate already i believe both sides both presidents really want to have a deal and maybe a deal was coming i don't know but they're both wanted. and some of these things i mean would be elections and with the russian interference that's not what trump is

interested at all well. but that's not the sentiment voiced by the american people who are pretty much concerned and boss of the ticket in national security advisor bolton said that he doesn't believe that putin didn't have any knowledge about the meddling russian millions into the two thousand and sixteen election is this something which is likely going to be a top priority for president trump during the meeting. no i agree with my offer and pop up i think president has already signaled that of course he will do the necessary and raise the question and he said yesterday as the pressure in the heat on him from the united states group that he had never thought of extradition but we all know there's no extradition treaty we all know that russia doesn't extradite its own nationals it's just a point of one way or another seeing if he can satisfy some complaints but his own ignorance of the details and the facts and the situation come through time and time

again i think the really interesting question is whether they can come to an agreement i don't believe the question of election meddling or indeed the twelve indictments in one way or another is going to block the meeting or the progress that they hope to achieve the real deep concern in the united states is that putin is so well prepared so much the master of the situation so much the kind of forceful presenter of his own view that he in one way or another will roll president trump much the way that kim jong un did the interesting question here is there are three levels of possible outcomes here one is a lower level in which things like perhaps the reestablishment of some of the consulates opening up a little bit of relationships bringing some more diplomats back some trade issues and things of that sort the second level much more important is things like syria

or korea and how to deal with that in the third level is obviously the question of the nuclear equation between the two the uncertainties that have become i think more dominant and more i think difficult and perhaps dangerous in the situation over i.n.f. and nuclear weapons numbers and things of that tossed and i mean that totally does into the thick of major differences about big issues let's start with the annexation of crimea what is is that the americans can hope to change now when it's almost too late we're talking about almost two years after the event took place. look what paula said is like what kind of deal is is possible and europeans are rightly word that a deal will be concluded over their heads on issues such as the european security order europeans especially eastern europeans are very worried that mr trump may

agree to canceling the military exercises on needle's eastern flank as a gesture toward president president putin on ukraine if they can achieve progress without selling out ukraine and its interests that would be very welcome on syria if they can progress without selling out civilians that would be. similarly on arms control progress would will all come but it really that really depends on the terms that will be agreed among leaders of the of the russians prepare for these sorts of concessions when it comes to the crimea. no on crimea there will be no concessions and actually crimea is not right now being discussed i mean trump cannot possibly legally kind of grant crimea to putin. and the fact of which i'm ready has crimea i believe that the outcome of the

summit is going to be some kind of declaration. that there is some kind of deescalation declaration that both sides are going to work for further progress and there is going to be follow on talks between the secretary of state and the russian foreign minister and so on but really what is going to happen and can happen in the direct talks between putin and frump that they can reach some kind of handshake agreement both wieners like and they prefer such kind of agreements trumpets the businessman put in with the so-called put side on culture and russia where an unofficial agreements are much more important than the ratified and signed treaties and they can agree they can agree basically or on iran america wants to center right now very big pressure on iran russia could kind of maybe stand aside and. be

officially but not intervene and for putting the most important thing is ukraine we will talk about those issues one by one. because when it comes to the arms control deal the new strategic arms reduction treaty which expires in two thousand and twenty one what's the likely scenarios are we going to see both parties agree on how to move forward. there are two likely scenarios one on which president clinton raised the last year on the telephone and president trump didn't know what it was but he consulted his advisors and they said all that was obama you don't want to do that we may have moved on from that it certainly would make sense to do that and the idea that there would be a handshake and that would be continued as pavel has outlined i think makes a certain amount of sense certainly trump would would prefer that trump can't take anything from this particular set of conversations with president putin back to the

united states for congressional indorsement the situation is too difficult now the demonization of russia is too extensive and the risks are too great the distrust of mr putin is so great what we are seeing pretense really is something like singapore where the two go in where they come out with a communique which really is a blah blah blah document says very little x. no commitments there may be some handshakes to get revealed later on as i described and then we'll see where it goes but mr clinton and mr trump will emerge from this certainly perhaps echoing the notion that they have made some real progress and some agreement because each will benefit from it in their own way and that will be something that is important to watch but the content i think will be equally pointing in and will in

a sense roll out the bit the way the north korean has pompei will have an impossible job and he will continue to be rebuffed at each stage and putting anything from the summit into concrete shape toso the last two days were really interesting in the sas it seemed trumps lambaste think onlies it in the e.u. canada and also nato you go to the us to the russia you go to. think it's a meet with from when you have been. sending disparaging remarks against your own allies in the region is this something that could diminish his leverage whatever limit leverage he might have in talking with putin i don't think it diminishes mr trump's leverage mr putin is rightly suspicious on whether mr trump could deliver on any promises he may make to him mr trump may be unhinged but he is not unconstrained and he has congress and also part of his own parts of his

own administration that are deeply distrustful of any outreach to mr putin any deals that that could be made for europeans of course this is a terrible situation to see these two europeans congregate and hash out plans that could very much be harmful to europeans at the same time it's a reminder that we europeans need to come up with our own agenda because of the russia german foreign minister mark has talked about in the new austerity then we need to devise what's our vision for european security order and that includes russia for outreach to to russia for dealing with russia i think it's a reminder that we shouldn't leave that to trump and martin but that we need to make our own policies on that front the. the americans say that the russians are not truly reliable when it comes to reducing the nuclear warheads the russians all the other other hand accuse nature of the americas of expanding east words towards

russia how can they put tensely make some concessions when it's comes to both or find some common ground when it comes to those differences. well when the kind of counting of warheads thing world there we have still the start three treaty it could be prolonged basically that's good enough we have problems than that for that serious issue but that's most likely not why i put in and trump are going to be talking about i don't think that. trump is very much interested in counting warheads at all trump right now in the region of the middle east and in general his main aim is to put maximum pressure on iran and he's not very much interested in the defense of the baltics or with ukraine and he said sell

so there's a kind of convergence of interest if. russia stands aside when trump zeroes in hard pressure on iran american and return could sign the sort of stand aside when russia puts more pressure on ukraine to press it in into concessions and that a that they see as a possible deal that they could make. the interests of the two men their sort of there's not they coincide that they're not against each other and thus as a picker and but don't you think that this could be the right nomen to take on president put in the man faces problems internally rising fuel prices a plan to increase the retirement age which is creating some problems internally couldn't this be an opportunity for the americans to push putting into concessions . trump has two ways of dealing with people depending upon how we see some

strong people that he had my age than he thinks are significant and can deliver probably in part because they come from systems that are very authoritarian he flaps the cozies up to him public says what wonderful people they are. sometimes he threatens them ahead of time but stage two is where he gets the delivery and he hopes to get that delivery i think with president putin on the basis that honey gets money or other than vitriol we'll wait and see people he doesn't respect get the hard treatment mrs may get into the nato partners did and so on and the hard treatment is designed to break them down so that when it comes time to strike the deal at the end he sees himself in a superior position with a really interesting question is whether president putin can really deliver on iranian evacuation from syria without a clearly what isn't

a trump would like anything that in one way or another on issues or pushes iran iran would be useful for him bibi netanyahu likes it he's been to see president putin but president assad doesn't like it and the president at us thought of one way or another has a certain command of the situation that can't be totally ignored particularly because he's been able to expand with russian help his capacity to deal in southwestern syria one of the uncontrolled areas of the government in a way that has pushed the others the rebels and the others away and created moralising for himself and iranian help it's been unusually important there own thought that whether it's a whether iran can be pushed back say eighty kilometers from the border which the israelis would like that will be an interesting question we will have all can see what can happen and whether in fact president putin can deliver on on top particular issue said we have. i'd like to raise this issue with

a toss to people would say the same time why would you blame trump for mistakes that were not made under his watch syria is seen by many as a blunder by the obama administration syria is certainly a blunder by all western actors but actually by all actors involved and it's a crime on the part of the russian administration that has done so much to destroy lives in syria and that's something the trunk should definitely bring up. with with mr putin and now syria is of course also mr trump's problem as the assad forces are closing in on those areas that are still held by by rebels or by forces that are allied or used to be allied with the u.s. there's quite a bit to discuss but i share and pickering's skepticism that russia would be able to deliver on iran ok let's not

a minute please know that the russians have made significant impacts in russia do you think in syria do you think they are willing to make a compromise that would set aside iran and pave the way for a permanent peace in syria while at least the bulletin can promise you do his best and also of course serious important for russia but not as important as ukraine the main problem right now for puttin is to do something with ukraine the status quo is unacceptable and that's where he is his main interest is going to lie . compromises on syria are possible i see your point thank you very much indeed for your contribution thomas pickett isn't tossed some. thank you very much indeed for your contribution to the program. and thank you for watching you can see the program again and its time by visiting our website al-jazeera dot com for further

an action packed final in moscow's luzhniki stadium in one thousand nine hundred eight champions took the lead after just eighteen minutes scoring through a croatian own goal but first time fine as croatia did battled back yvonne paris search with an equaliser ten minutes later the french ended the halfback on top though after a controversial penalty awarded following video replays and then in the second all france proved too strong for their opponents a powerful strike from nineteen year old kelly on them back they helping them to an emphatic victory celebrated on the pitch amid to rancho rain. well the match was postponed for almost a minute off to four protesters dressed in suits invaded the pitch with one exchange in a high five with france's star player and back in posts on social media feminist group a see riot claim responsibility for that protest thanks

for this was the scene live in earlier as the match and did fans started celebrating many of them too young to have remembered the last time france claimed victory and which champions in the world cup but not least their star player killian and by the who wasn't born at the time but has definitely emerged as something of a hero from this world cup tournament for france where we have correspondents in moscow and also we have an attack foresee a walkout both in france and croatia with the crowds there first though let's start with andy richardson and so andy we know that this was an impressive strong team for france but how much of a fight did they face from croatia. caray sure it seemed that the never know when they were beaten at this tournament three times in their previous games that gone behind and come through the games same thing happened again this time sure enough

even paris it was able to get them on level terms and then we had that intervention of the video assistant referee a system designed to intervene when there is a clear and obvious error and there will be debate for years to come as to whether or not this was a clear and obvious error when paris situ was just to handle the french corner the referee went to the pitch side moneths it decided it was a deliberate how and swung griezmann stepped up in school the penalty that puts his country to an up and really seemed to break the will of the crowd should seem if you look at the incident from a creation perspective it was accidental look at it from a french perspective of course it was a deliberate humble book with the all the wrist still a human elements involved it still has to be something separate stations there will never be custom dried completely v.a.r. one way or another house being one of the stars of this world cup as of course as kelly and back nineteen years old in the second half he really broke free against

some legs it was his break which set up the chance for paul pope at school the third goal and he got his fourth goal of the tournament and france's fourth goal shortly afterwards and it's the performance that really has propelled him to a new level of global recognition and also propelled his country to the second world title indeed he is going to be one of the players to watch very closely tell us and me what is this well cup final going to be remembered for. i think it is going to be and he's a player that we've we've known about some of course he was signed for an awfully large amounts of money by perry songe amount from monaco and from a relatively poor area of paris he was from a young age was spotted his talent a small city went to the class from the same national academy and at the age of nineteen he's already worn. two french league titles and now a world cup with his country it's hard to think of a teenager who's had such an impact on major tournament since pele back in one nine

hundred fifty eight when he guided his country to the title in that year but it's now going to be really interesting to see how and carts resist this new level of stardom and whether or not he can give perry santorum out the european champions league soccer but clubs are desperate for. all right with all the latest from moscow and the richardson thank you very much. we have. been forced to walk a bow standing by with the fans of what's left of those crowds in paris and to natasha and such incredible scenes that we were seeing on the tasha absolute joy and jubilation on from the crowds there what's happening now. again if you can see behind me it's a bit emptier than it was earlier because there were about eighty thousand found in this fan zone in the center of paris just of the force of the eiffel tower of course they have been going wild with joy for the last few hours when about final

whistle blew i can tell you the sound was quite incredible it was people were charging singing the french national and singing we are the champions of the world now many of those people the reason little there is because they are heading to the shores of the say which is paris is most famous avenue and that is where the party's already started and they are going to be celebrating right into the night because of course every football or dreams that their team will win the world cup when that becomes reality will that's incredibly sweet about is what fans were telling us here a little earlier. and we were just speaking to i mean richardson in moscow about some of the players on the french team in particular a nineteen year old kelly and backpay who has emerged as a superstar from this tournament but we also have seen on this french team. as from arab descent african descent is that what has been the reception there is not seen as a positive thing. well i think you have to go back to like

nineteen ninety eight because that's when france first won the world cup it is the last time the frogs won the world cup in fact when the team was seen as a symbol of multiculturalism you have players like a senator in sudan who was the son of our gerry an immigrant i must say. they became household names they became national heroes everyone was talking about how they were going to unite for all this well you know phosphor to right now it's not exactly the same with this team nobody's really saying that but many of the players all from the suburbs around paris where life isn't so easy when unemployment is already often young people feel to start against them so the final so many of these football heroes have come from those areas really means a lot to so many people especially in this city of cross and recross frauds in places like kenya only nineteen years old he's already seen as a hero role model here he's already seen as a great inspiration and i think that spirit of ninety eight really continues with

this team because we heard for example one of the french players saying a little earlier this week that he felt very proud to wear the french jersey that it was a country that had all nations all colors all nationalities and for him that made the beauty of frogs not why he was proud to take part in this final thank you very much with all the latest from paris why no doubt the parting is going to continue into the night. as get to zagreb now with robin farseer walker and robin peace and but. perhaps not defeated how would you describe sentiment that because really this team it was an incredible achievement for them to come this far. oh yeah well there you go you have it was one of the waiting to say you just listen to the guys behind me they just thrilled to to have. a composite. i guess is what you get with it where you have to speculate but a better with a crowd is

a few spots use but yet you know when the final whistle blew i wasn't quite sure what to expect really gracious but they're all just absolutely ecstatic that they go to let it go they. said everybody take it it will deploy the seeds. which it simply proud proud about. proud of where they take it us is very very proud of this country to its relations with the troubled city people love that they are not us out of the picture see good video displays but most of the worried a major incident is still major clubs in europe. so they just think stuff because you can see they have made it this far and so they're partying in paris this set of races we're going to carry on here exact rep is well. absolutely i'm a lot of cheering and a lot of celebration the people there in zagreb clearly very proud of that team to have just made it to the world cup final thank you very much robin r.c.

very real political challenges in the last year or so that saudi led book a the cultural authorities saying that it hasn't really put any date in the momentum in building the kind of necessary infrastructure. we understand the metro system was jus to start working in the next couple of months there are big plans for expanding the air pull roads are being built to low the place there is dissension the country now of real movement still ahead for you on this new sound from london palestinians bury two came teenagers killed in an israeli as strike on gaza as by sides trying to step back from the brink of war. persons prime minister reveals the bracks advice donald trump cave which he decided not to take. and it's crossing time in far east action and reaction around my own school.
