he was waiting for that contact. i don't think is for if i am the referee probably i don't give that fall because i know the nature of the players i know what christina was looking for in spain but he's been clever his is is to be in control of every detail of the game he gets the free kick he put the free the ball down and i felt i was looking at him for about an hour. is running on twenty three is not the best on free kicks i think for the number of free kicks it takes in the clear when international team is not scoring as much in the past couple of years as he used to from a chester knighted and in the first years in in in real madrid but this one is a critical one this one is is a crucial point is not just a crucial point is. the what can affect the self-esteem of the self-confidence the way to approach the next two to match is the rivalry what it

means for the portuguese people that is at home. and it has these little. these little touch does a little extra a feeling of final free kick in the dying minutes. top corner jackson talk corner and. bush kids first man because second man they don't have taller than that. i think the wall is correct the position is correct and the problem with christian is that he can go both sides and gives the goalkeeper a doubt. and there is also another possibility the top free kick because now sometimes they are doing which is to go under the wall and gives a big question mark are you going to jump yes or no so normally when the wall is inside of the box the goalkeeper they say don't jump because it's too close you can put it under the wall so. these rocks are factors in the game but for me the most

important factor is. the logical relation between the take of the ball the wall and the ball and in the last minute. recall one point perfectly and that was practically the last kick of the game i mean he knew that was the last chance you will have to know who's going to be the happier of the two teams here of course play to have. a different feeling which is a feeling that has three points in the pocket and two of them they fly just been in the end but overall i think both teams not happy they're not at the point is a good point they know that with five points they both qualify so they can even get . a negative the and get a draw against one of the other opponents but. i think they are quite happy and the feeling of a big match bigger poland i don't lose against european champion i don't lose

against. a former world champion in the team that is again the kind of the two to win it i think is a is a positive feeling now that can relax a bit more now that can prepare the next two matches with a difference and say well our correspondent kate partridge she was enjoying all the action in sochi to actually come just at the right side because behind me all the fountains were going at the music was blaring in the rain is coming down and people dancing is all going to crazy just over there just in front of the stadium as the portuguese and spanish and plenty of russian and other fans from around the world are all coming out of that incredible match instead is announced as you go inside to see you change to go in you the fans get the chance to go it is the most amazing places like going inside and meeting with the windy in a sea of easy to fish to isa whale it's huge and then months later she's going on really just going to steve to launch being. it's incredible that this fee was

amazing that was chanting it is for a long shot but now i'm told i stars have not only got my god judging by what he's telling me here he was just having such a new page where the atmosphere has been amazing take a listen to some of these guys who have a head coach here in moscow in the shadows of the melissa was have a closer look then at the iran morocco gang we're talking about seeing from earlier this evening which so iran when the first match at a world cup final since ninety ninety eight and they carried top their great saying who distort the surroundings in some places per person and speak to some of the players talking about the full timers that opening three feet here in st petersburg

between iran and moral code being settled in john mattick fashion it was ninety fifth minute own goal by coach up until that point it was a very close game of course coming into this game both sides very good defensive records and it looked to be heading to a neil neil draw but iran what a free kick on the left to late into the game it was whipped in by a son had to be selfish and to have this heading into his nets and we managed to speak to him in the mix zone off to the game to me to change position of god i didn't expect this to happen and fortunately today i was the person who brought bad luck to the team all i can do is apologize to all the moroccan fans now predictably for the iranians this result is really a great start to the told him and up until that point the best chance came in the first half when he saw that as soon as one on one with the keeper and missed it of course the lead up to this tournament is. a lot by the impact of sanctions the

iranians not being allowed to when ike who says also having something to present these councils for other reasons and so the joy of the iranian play is was very obvious to all to see it's unfair to my feelings to talk about how i feel it's an amazing day to day i never would forget ten day right now and then one two and so we still just perfect it's amazing day so that result. in an interesting position they go into that game with spain with some confidence and will be hoping that they cannot at least try to get to drool saying coming to an end here in moscow i can hear the pain but i said it right in the heel and all the parts and all the cafes around red square is to be different so i hate the days until i explain going to be back again tomorrow i've had many games for is that possible so anything you can buy for.

thank. my thang.

this is rather trendy over the past few years to talk about the new world order fair enough the recent g seven combat in canada in trump's decision to engage north korea for just two weeks samples pax americana is undergoing a significant transformation. a look and let's move from football to other world news president trump said he might meet with me or putin in the next few months it comes after the u.s. president calls controversy by reportedly telling world leaders that crimea is rightfully russian samir account picks up the story. trump hasn't ruled out the

possibility of meeting with president putin he made these comments speaking to the press friday morning check out what he had to say i mean i think he was this summer it's possible that well made yeah you know i thought you know this all started because somebody one of us should be in the g. seven is you know should be in the g. eight so yes as you've just heard trump wants the g. seven to be the g. eight once again with russia reinstated so that they can work together to solve the world's problems this wasn't the first time he made these comments and he also suggested this during the g. seven summit itself and naturally some leaders were opposed to this including merkel and mccrone to name a few with regard to the crimea debacle trump blamed obama saying that his policies led to crimea joining russia now earlier it was reported that trump also said that crimea is russian because everyone speaks russian there but this is yet to be confirmed to remind the viewers let's quickly go through what happened in crimea

crimea joined russia in twenty fourteen after nearly ninety seven percent of the population voted to join russia with international observers present so if these remarks by trump are anything to go by this will mark a huge huge shift in u.s. russia relations. to europe where a group of survivors from the november twenty fifth massacre in porus of filed a lawsuit against the government over its response to the atrocity troy dubin ski has been speaking to their employers. one of the darkest moments in multi french history a series of coordinated terror attacks across paris one hundred thirty people killed ninety of those at this popular music venue. was shot while the taro

was unfolding inside the battle plan outside what eight soldiers from and tear up the trolls the parliamentary inquiry later revealed that they were told not to intervene moreover they were also the people from giving their weapons to the police sticking rigidly to army protocol. now eighteen families of victims have filed a lawsuit against the french state demanding answers. only led they. they were described in the media as the force specially created against the threat of terrorism so why was this force which had the chance to intervene told not to. if the soldiers had entered the battle last night or if they had given their weapons over to the place how might that have changed what happened on the heretical night in paris to say luther what question or one i answered is why it took two and a half hours for the order to engage to be given when the officers were there from

the beginning. the army however insists the soldiers had taken all measures possible securing the area around the battle and protecting the fleet victims the military intervened spontaneously they arrived where police were already present the military secured areas around the battle plan in coordination with and at the request of the internal security forces but now one of the lawyers representing the victims' families has made a startling claim to r.t. saying that the allegations come from a member of the gendarmerie who wants to remain anonymous. on the minds of the bats a clan a tank there was a squadron of gendarme assigned to protect the house of then prime minister vols this squadron was alerted immediately and deployed to the site equipped with assault rifles they entered the batek land and extracted a hostage or a woman and they were able thanks to the hostage to get information about the

situation the other hostages inside but then this twenty six man squadron received a very curious order they were told to stand down. and he claims there was also another unit ready and equipped with emergency medical supplies but they also not deployed. if this equipment had been available to help view. timbs host while the decision to intervene was being taken it's possible more people would have survived surely the question about this and operation sin to know and its role is why have we spent so much money on them just the political masquerade to make people believe that they are protected when we clearly see people were massacred with kalashnikovs just a few meters from this unit and that they had terrorists in this site but were told not to pull the trigger party has asked the police to respond to these allegations

so far no response has been forthcoming but these are questions that the families of some of the victims at the vatican want on the sistine they want to know what happened that night and what more could have been done to help help their loved ones. r.t. harris. the u.s. government has resumed funding for a controversial syrian rescue group known as the white helmet the state department ses it's releasing six point six million dollars in aid three months after a funding was cut by the trumpet ministration the statement claimed that the white helmet saved more than one hundred thousand lives in syria well that is the spider series of controversy surrounding the group its members have been caught on camera occurring the al qaeda like attending executions by terrorists and some of their

alleged rescue videos have turned out to be fake independent journalists vanessa believe told us that most of the white helmets claims have not been verified. i struggle to find any evidence. for the hundred thousand life saved and i would very much like to see with the millions that this group are being given by a number of nato member states some form of documentation some form of archiving some form of evidence for these a hundred thousand there is mounting evidence against this group the majority of it comes from syrian civilians in the areas that i have entered that's an east aleppo and east groups or i have not found one civilian to tallinn eight that the white home it's rescued civilians in fact i've heard the opposite i've heard it at the white home it's where they're to work as agents for the terrorist groups and to help. when they're under attack by the syrian arab army and their allies live

around the world every hour of the day this is r t international the next is the new world order already on its way yalit cross-talk delves into a post world in will that. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way it's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure to come out you have to be i

mean eighty percent of the problem here with you and will solo the great great if you are the rock at the back nobody gets passed to you we need you to get the ball going let's go. a low as just i want to know and i'm really happy to join the team for the two thousand and three in the world cup in russia meet the special one come on don't appreciate me just say the reno theology team's latest edition to make up is bigger so i need to just say look. when you also see that action the u.s. agrees on paris the us weekly's on the iran and pose all of that if i'm can do a little from north korea i will think five times before i sign up something with trump because i don't know if the guy's going to keep his promise that in the first place.

i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch to the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each kill the narrowness and spending to twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy great so what chance with. at least minute.

hello and welcome to cross talk where all things considered i'm peter lavelle has been rather trendy over the past few years to talk about the new world order fair enough but what we are experiencing now is the end of the old world order the recent g seven in canada and trying to the station to engage north korea are just two examples pax americana is undergoing a significant transformation and the old order is fighting back tooth and nail.

talking the old world order i'm joined by my guest john merrill in washington he is the former chief of the north east asia division of the bureau of intelligence and research at the u.s. state department as well as author of korea the peninsular origins of the war also in washington we have michael flanagan he is president of flanagan consulting and a former congressman and to new york we cross to george samuel lee he is a fellow at the global policy institute of london and author of the book bombs for peace all right gentlemen cross talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it michael let me go to you first here i think it's. pretty fair to say after five hundred some days in office we're getting to see what an american first foreign policy is under donald trump so my question to you is america first under trump compatible with the post world war two liberal order that the united states herald into into being and is. two

thousand and eighteen a significant date for that order that appears to be well changing if not breaking down go ahead michael. thank you peter i think that the their american foreign policy your question presupposes that we've been the same since the second world war and i think while we've had very likely goals from administration administration that are very similar i don't think we've had the same execution of that foreign policy and i think you're seeing a very different execution of the foreign policy one that's more trade centric one that's less interested in in making a macro once over the world got to embrace everything deal but taking deals a bit at a time much as a businessman would and i think you're seeing a level of foreign policy interaction and product that is unfamiliar to many in the structures now but is in no way bad and i think that that's giving a lot of pause to professionals who have been doing this for years and excellently

for years but different doesn't necessarily mean wrong and i think mahmoud being in the right direction i'm not i'm not judging i'm five i'm not judging if it's right or i don't know what i'm going to be describing i'm describing it because i don't know if it's right or wrong it ok and i'm glad you brought that up because i'm not talking about the new world order because i don't know what that is ok but i do know what we've had for the last seven years ok let me give that more or less the same question to john because michael gave a kind of from an american point of view but there is a lot of american allies around the world that see it very very differently than the current occupant in the white house go ahead john well i think the asian allies are coming along. he's he's right trumps foreign policy approach is different than his predecessors it's more realistic more hardnosed and even a little more improvisational i think there's a tendency towards neo isolationism and there are doubts about alliances

particularly when there is a perceived asymmetry of burdens an interest yet so. i think it's he also feels the traditional alliance management emphasis that we've we've had has fostered excessive dependency and created moral hazards so he's trying to solve in my opinion trying to solve some problems and he's a disruptor ok george your turn i mean and i think you see that with korea it was ok i think you can see it in a lot of different things right now in this sense and i think these tendencies towards isolationism and or overblown i think john really mention and i mean a lot of people have. benefited from american large jets particularly in trade and security i mean you know the united states is willing to go to guarantee the security of europe borders but not its own country i mean you know when is this going to stop enough is enough go ahead george. yes but that's always been the key

to america's overwhelming presence in the world it's been the leader of this massive bloc this massive nato european union bloc and that's given that america this huge influence now. america had to pay a price for that that the price it paid was that it was running massive trade deficit with everybody because you know in return for their not contributing very much to military spending america gave them. privileged access to u.s. markets it didn't matter very much because the as long as the dollar was the world's reserve currency the trade deficit would eventually eventually all go back to america anyway and into finance but now trump has sensed that that american economic supremacy is on the challenge and with the rise of china and the china russia bloc that is a real serious challenge to the united states so he's now trying to shake this up

and saying ok now the a this block that we're. dissolve they really have to jump to it they have to follow our goals they you know they you know what we want whether it's in the middle east or anywhere else they will have to follow where where in the polish state they say ok well i guess we have all four abel's such israeli and you don't really agree with it but it doesn't matter will over look at now they're trying to talk straight is that you have to really follow it because if you don't follow us then you will pay a price and so we and we see this with the in the case of iran america's not just walked away from the j c p o a it's actually imposing yandell it is on the europeans who are actually sticking with the agreement and so that's what rituals are drug he's trying to consolidate this block in order to confront at some later date the new colossus of bridging on in the world which is china in alliance

with russia you know michael and i tend to agree with george there but the issue is is that it's not really a bloc of even remotely equals it's one country calling the shots if you don't fall in line you'll be sanctioned like the u.s. is saying she did scold him quote adversaries and foes i mean that that is kind of a upping the game of sanctions would you agree yeah i were america bitch i mean that's kind of what what the administration has been talking about with the america first policy for your forgive my my use of the vulgar the the administration really has is not driven ideologically to have a one world borderless society is as perhaps the obama administration was leaning toward and is not looking to have a pax americana as the neo cons and the bush administration were looking for i think it's looking for global leadership in the finance sector in the trade sector

and i think trump is absolutely focused in that direction and where there is some big line crossed like chemical weapons or the belief of use of chemical well. because to step away from that argument here or to be able to talk about some really egregious behavior by a world actor the administration is going to shrug and move past that and i say we have bigger fish to fry with michael and players like russia has ever been michael you know critics particularly in the liberal media saying you know trump wants to move away from a rules based. international order well i mean if i take what you say logically speaking then the united states doesn't give a hoot about the united nations is going to unilaterally bomb whatever country it wants it will impose sanctions on any country it wants me to walk away from the deputy of the united nations i mean that's the extreme ok that's where this is going to and that's why i'm not talking about the new world order because i don't know what it's going to be john go ahead and jump in there i noticed you were reacting. well i think that's that's a little extreme way to put it what we've seen trump do in the case of korea is

settle a long festering problem and break with traditional prescriptions and being being willing to sit down and have a dialogue with the leader of north korea i'm calling him the leader of north korea because one of the things that american media do all the time yet is they call him a dictator or a tyrant anyway he's having a conversation and he's trying to bring to bear i hope he's successful he seems to have had some success so far he's trying to establish a degree of a poor and to schmooze the guy and hoping that that will bring him along and will be able to make progress so let's see how that plays out i think so far he's been doing a pretty good job on the korean issue even some democrats are beginning to realize that although belatedly george i i am one hundred percent behind donald trump. my engagement of north korea absolutely if that's what it takes for peace that i'm

on but i'm on board ok and i just hope that it's not sabotaged by even his own people around him i worry more about who is around the zero in the oval office then and then who was in singapore george. yes yes though that that's exactly so i don't think anyone is going to sabotage the north korea deal within the administration simply because north korea has not become tromps baby and it is either very preoccupied with this you know he and he this is going to be here is a reagan and gorbachev moment you know you want to this is a historic moment that he's going to do something that no one else has done but you have to balance that with his policy on iran because on the on iran he is far more belligerent than his predecessors were and he seems to be moving towards a very serious confrontation there i mean he has said a few more conciliatory things about iran in recent days but i don't think it's

very likely that they'll be any change there and similarly i think in the case of syria i think we can expect more belligerence from the united states there's a while yes he's doing a good job on korea when it comes to the middle east i think it's a he's being more belligerent than his predecessors you know michael is it because trump doesn't really care about the middle east he thinks let these israelis and the saudis figure it out for him because north korea is that's his nobel prize that's him that's all about him he's taken this he's taken on board i mean it seems you could look interpreted that way because i mean his behavior in the middle east is in my opinion just disastrous go ahead michael before we go to the break that i don't you and i have disagreed on this before appear but smart people can do that sure i think is his embracing of the arabs against the persians if you can go back to the ancient descriptions is trying to move the geo political center of the.
