here's the surprises. thank you so much today. everybody. heard. any. news. this is the w. news live from berlin a high stakes summit in helsinki between the u.s. and russian president little trump was welcomed by the president of finland for talks with his russian counterpart vladimir putin trying to set the scene like tweeting this relations with russia have never been worse what can the world expect from the helsinki summit will have expert analysis for you in just a second. also on the program france rules the football world again lifting the

world cup trophy last night studio additional to beach a resilient croatian side in the final in moscow and set off wild celebrations by coming hours police did have to use tear gas for things got out of control. on the pitch they blew crushed roshan hope you can get sinks in with a stroke once in each all over croatia never gave up it just wasn't enough women it's a second won't touch for the french. it all. hello and welcome my name is christopher spring and thanks for joining us the first ever summit between u.s. president donald trump and his russian counterpart vladimir putin is taking place in hell think you today. arriving in the finnish capital trump said relations

between the u.s. and russia have never been worse and whether the summit will make those relations any better is uncertain the agenda of their meeting is shrouded in mystery at the moment and that has left washington's european allies nervous about any concessions that trump might make. donald trump the u.s. president arrives in helsinki. and you know when trump is in town he's here to meet vladimir putin russia's president in a high profile and much anticipated summit it's the last stop on trump's european tour and like elsewhere he's been met with protests around two thousand finns turned out in helsinki to oppose the president's views and the protesters are all too happy with putin's track record either what will the leaders discuss well it isn't that clear trump's administration has said they are looking for anything concrete i don't expect anything i frankly don't expect with very low expectations

i think they're getting along with the russians a good thing but it's possible. the summit in helsinki is being billed more as an opportunity for the leaders to improve their report then as a chance to hammer out a new relationship but it hasn't all been plain sailing in a television interview the day before he left for helsinki trump once again rattled his european allies. asked who he thought his number one foe was trump said not russia but the e.u. he said well i think we have a lot of photos i think the european union is a foe what they do to us in trade now you wouldn't think of the european union but there are folks these comments to a quick response from donald tusk e.u. council president america and the e.u. are best friends who have or says we are photos is spreading fake news. the theme of trump's time in europe ruffled feathers the president's relationship with russia

has been under scrutiny since he was elected president costing doubt on the strength of the u.s. european alliance ahead of a summit with russia only adds fuel to the fire. well as mentioned it remains unclear exactly what presidents trump and putin are going to be talking about in helsinki so earlier i asked peter craven in helsinki if any details had to fall about their agenda we do assume they're going to talk about crimea ukraine syria nuclear proliferation and those accusations of meddling on the part of russia perhaps the orders of readymade brought in in u.s. elections in u.s. democracy but we really don't know and this is very much donald trump style that he wants to go in there and have a one on one conversation that's very much sort of man to man we're not even going to know jure in the course of the conversation or after the conversation properly what they've talked about because there's no real indication that it's going to be there's certainly going to be nobody else in the room apart from the two translators and there's no indication as yet or we simply don't know whether that's

going to be an official record of this conversation but that makes the advisors of donald trump the diplomatic corps the washington people very nervous indeed because they know that their man has only had eighteen months in office whereas vladimir putin is out eighteen years in office it's a vast dearth in fast difference in experience there and that makes the american side very very nervous indeed. you know he's peter craven there reporting from health sinky with me now. on the list of u.s. european affairs with the aspen institute him but then tyson thanks for coming in the europeans warry trump may make very serious concessions something like recognizing russia's annexation of crimea for instance all those worries justified well to quote the president himself will have to wait and see you know he's been on record basically saying everything under the sun from the citizens of crimea want to be part of russia during the campaign to saying that it was obama was soft on russia that led to the attic sation of crimea and why did he get

a pass he's going to be tougher so we have a pen a plea of different perspectives here ok so as you say we'll have to wait and see one of the things you mentioned just there i think was was a twitter quote has been on twitter this morning saying i'm of the other things that relations between the u.s. and russia have never been worse thanks quote to u.s. food and stupidity a reference to his biggest barack obama doesn't that we can though his own position going into talks with i think what we didn't see in the most is the lack of a clear strategy a lack of doing his homework and this is a way that he approaches these these types of high stakes high level meetings that he wants them to be free flowing but if you don't go in with clear asks and ideas of what deliverables you're trying to get be it on arms control be it on syria be it on ukraine be it on you know protecting european security you're not going to get out of it what you want to get out of it that's right i think mr bolton who is

a security advisor talked about an unstructured meeting with his words and not expecting any deliverables so supporting exactly is the u.s. agenda that well i think that this is completely driven by the president himself and not by any of his advisors or anybody else in the united states government and i think that the desire here is to as was mentioned get us. so there are poor feel out of lattimer putin himself and see if he can build the basis for something more lasting i think he'll come out of this meeting giving his secretary of state and others certain marching orders saying you know we need to do x. and y. whether or not those come to fruition is yet to be seen this is basically the singapore playbook ok and the elephant in the room of course the accusations that russia meddled in the us elections back in twenty sixteen how seriously do you think trump is going to confront putin over this issue well he said he would bring it up but when asked over the weekend whether or not he would request the extradition of these twelve individuals he said he hadn't even thought about it

it's pretty baffling to think that nobody in the u.s. government has thought about this he has a very antagonistic relationship with robert mueller investigation witch hunt is common refrain on twitter also today i think he brought it up so i don't think that this is going to be number one on his agenda items ok tyson many thanks for coming in to talk to us tyson bucca from butlins aspen institute we're going to switch now to some of the other stories making news around the world european council president altos the u.s. china and russia to ease trade tensions speaking to china e.u. summit in beijing tusk said recent trade conflicts could spiral out of control and wreck the global economic order and called for a reform of international trade rules to prevent quote conflict and chaos. to reporters from myanma charged with violating the country's secrecy borders as

thousands of the seaborn fans packed the french capital. don't sing in the streets and shouting from the rooftops. that this is great everyone's here together and it's a good atmosphere and makes everyone feel better and we're happy to be here and try to be french but no sense in lieu of honestly leafing feeling french for three days now and we'd like it to remain showed up and we are proud of friends and the guys from the suburbs have done it for friends they go a container told you so. only if you're proud thank you yeah give it. one fan in particular couldn't contain his excitement french president and manuel not call watching the match in moscow he even gossip pats on the head from his croatian counterparts thrilled to the team second place. ok let's get more all

know the reaction to this match and some analysis also from this much from the sports tom get all here in the studio with me. you know we just saw all the positive celebrations if you want but there was a blemish on last night's celebrations. there was some trouble last night as well it seems that there was some trouble last night yes i mean as we saw the celebrations went went on out on the streets and. i think quite a few buses in paris received in math and unconvincing story possible to make it into work for holes only and it seems that at some point as this sort of russians went on a section of the revenues with an inclination to perhaps exaggeration decided to announce their presence some projectiles were thrown some tear gas was fired. some water cannons i believe also deployed which amounts to actually by parisians standards not that marched let's remember that saturday was the anniversary of the

storming of the past you know it's not often meet with you when the world cup and there is also a football match to absolutely well let's to that you know. the interesting thing about last night's match you know the creations actually dominated the first off a lot of possession and i think it was the french coach to dish on that said you know what really pulled history was sheer mental strength you know how significant is this victory fronts well very significant i mean if course it's the biggest sporting event in the world like you said we actually witnessed a very open and tightly for a first off which tends not that often to be the case with world cup finals we often tend to get rather cagey affair yesterday's farnell was the highest scoring final since nineteen sixty six the seans is now become one of only three men in history to win the world cup as a coach as well as as a player which he did back in ninety eight of course as a captain of it's if i can tell you all about the match we're not really going to get much cleverer listening to me i think what we need to do is take

a look at the pictures ourselves it's. an early and twenty month free kick made its way past the croatian keeper but it was a croatian head that noted it in mario once you catch with an unlucky own goal to get france to lead. but the croatian come back kings hit back in the twenty eighth minute to even pettish each. he went from hero to zero though as a video review showed him handling the ball. the soft penalty but nonetheless tucked away by greaseman for his fourth of the tournament. in the second half france extended their lead through paul pogba. a long range effort chucked into the corner by julian and bok they repeated that trick again beating daniel subash each from far out for one french then took their foot off the gas pedal. mentioned. back passed for hugo lloris and connected and embarrassing mistake but the french captain did the front for a long the final score when the world cup for

a second time with smiles all around. sports. two years ago. hosting the european ships got to the final surprisingly they lost was that a key bit of experience that helped them win last night certainly i mean every experience. teaches you something every experience helps when you continue your career as an awfully. who won last night will have as you mentioned been a part of it's a. tragedy for france in paris two years ago but. it was the second youngest for its one. yet really to prove himself at the highest level that it was pretty. good finish he's only nineteen years old very easy to forget because he's

a name that we know very well but he's incredibly young. and the future is very bright. many thanks for that. sports you all watching you don't you. the wonderful. feel free to follow us on twitter and facebook and get the latest updates. that's what you. need is in germany to learn german. published in the. online on the mobile and free form of the w e learning course.
