it was and. this is our team and our special coverage of the biggest football event of the year the fee for world cup final match on thursday sees croatia put in a stunning performance to be told and tina giving the south americans on the brink of a shock thanks it from the world cup. i and football followers from all over the world make as central street in moscow the unofficial hall of the world cup with the festivities in full swing.

and in other news a potential meeting between donald trump and vladimir putin is to be discussed between the u.s. national security advisor visit to moscow next week. you're watching altie international live from moscow studio with me in a day or two to welcome to the program day eight cup investor has come to a close as we continue our special coverage of the tournament teams in group c. and d. have finished their second game so now it's a neil harvey and peter schmeichel world cup pub in st petersburg for the analysis .

welcome to another beautiful white night here in st petersburg defend itself russia is no. white knight here but a dark day for argentinian football tina founds trust me on this look away now step away from the t.v. come back in five minutes you do not want to know what happened to your team tonight's show i shared three argentina nil peter schmeichel you watch it with me and it was a bit like watching a horror movie a disaster unfolding before us. i'm not sure i agree with our knowledge and tina's perspective oh yeah but why why do we care so much about argentina we should praise croatia for what they did tonight and what they did in the first game now we talked about the big players you know the big scene the big stage when when you come to these events like the world cup the big players they perform and today mensing who

is a big player didn't turn up again like you didn't do in the game against iceland and when you decide your team to be around messi then you pay for it and absolutely paid for it today they were smashed by croatia today and the scoreline three no it's a fair reflection of the game. the dirty game would you say a very very very rough game very hotly played a lot of tempers tempers flaring surprisingly enough only six yellow cards no red cards we were actually betting on that there would be at least one because that was the way it was being played. i think the referee and you know the much off from it was biggest and he did ok i mean at times it was it was a little bit too much that he was allowing but at the end of the day everyone got through the game and you know the only ones that are. and you heard. it in tina and

that's completely down to their own performance. pretty much all the talk coming into this game was that knowledge and tina needs it not just wanted needed to win and it all unraveled in just a horrific fashion let's just look at the winning goal and the goalkeeper of argentina really like me this is what goes if you don't think they put pressure on the everybody i mean they must play from the back i don't understand their couple their bags you know. that big mistake now if there was some element of self harm about that first goal self-inflicted no questions about the second moment what a strike from lucca muggeridge i i was going courage in watching them to pass i didn't think he could score from here but what's dynamited not right for. the big players they turn up to these two elements look at marge which is a big player and he's turned out that was his second goal and so on and the second really good goal as well this was one time but again it was

a lot of other tension between the teams and not many icons in the first all but then they started develop as as argentina became more frustrated and then we saw some pretty even tick tick tackles going and i think ultimately should not have had a you know i think he should have been sent off he. made an incredible shot to see the a c. react if he's on the floor the referee is always blowing the whistle to do that you know that's that's really naughty and fortunately nothing happened and it might be one of these things that will look back on retrospect and four i'm not completely sure about the rules in this tournament normally when the referee has always dealt with that meaning giving him a yellow card i don't think that's too much to do afterwards but hopefully they will because that tackle there was definitely out of order and it's dangerous anything could have happened fortunately nothing new that the sort of situation because they. it's not applied at the moment would you like to see vall used to

things like band or is he just too much of a judgment call in the moment lead to the rest i don't want vod should be used very much in football i have to say i was. relatively upbeat about all of of until yesterday i think it's been today we've seen a very clear example on why we don't want to interfere too much i think and we've got to be fair to all the assistance all the referees it's still even though it is a world cup it's still a kind of a trial period it's a system that needs to be worked on in the referees and the vases and they need more experience so we are bound to see mistakes unfortunately those mistakes you know have increased the number of penalties being given in the world cup i don't think anyone we've got this off loyalties or the temperament or how they like to see football i don't see i think anyone wants to see to use free for penalties in

every game if it's not what football is all about we want to see the players create the goals and then we've seen three absolutely beautiful goals today that is at least as a football fan and that is what i want to see i don't want to see football fans of football teams two or three or four nil on penalties and that's not right for me they will be speaking of the fans we've had our peter all of us down amongst the nice in the fan zone and used them out musta been some atmosphere bitterness and sweetness i would imagine on either side what was it like to be amongst it. right when this game started the packers house here in the fun fest was very much a pro teena crowd what i would say that we saw there from croatia was a lesson in how to win friends and entertain people because as there was. those

went in the cheers for the crew a ship got louder and louder and louder and at the final whistle looked so very very happy people a lot of the new troops are pretty co-lead not a lot of the people from the local area who could be really looked at the the superstar status of lionel messi being behind argentina we saw them start to get on side with the croatians as they scored some some heat wave goes we were really some fantastic strikes particularly that moved through each goal to me that was the will not really turn the tide of opinion here and i think you'll see a little more though nish do you know of good based supporters to croatia in the next game here. or. we are croatians from canada we've come this far we've seen people from sydney australia from all over the world to succumb to support the team i think it's

really amazing yeah yeah yeah laugh every think is fantastic the super and i'm just sorry that we came all this way and due to all these trips for a game that we already know the result so but never mind what will the actual be and that maybe result but we know the winner so it will be crazy for sure gratian rasha it was shown at the start. for. the incredible really experience always to work outside the business and this insatiable bring the people of argentina to every place that are going to be some credible source. neither have the. compare to a show i did you know nothing really good only fans wanting to swap chess just wonderful atmosphere and some i'm swapping it for two. ok so i have to ask you

what's the best use what you have one little story. so when casper was a kid obviously he got all this and it's funny kept them all and funny enough those clicks on the back of most of them and then obviously the manchester united goalkeeper showed as well but i got a picture said to be a couple of months ago my grandson in one of those shirts and it's a manchester united should from my first year the only year when manchester night it was still playing with i didn't and they change too. and they play with that is now he's got this vintage should if you would like i did fits him i actually thought when i got the picture that was cast but that's mike. thank you for sharing .

welcome back to the program in one thousand secretary general is warning that political disputes and infighting risk tearing the international military alliance apart the speaking in london did insist that preserving nato is in the interests of its twenty nine member states these disagreements are real it is not written in stone that the transatlantic bomb will survive for ever but i believe we will preserve it. those comments on the call for unity come ahead of next month's nato summit which will be attended by donald trump he's been a frequent critic of the alliance and its feared that the meetings could inflame the tensions between washington and its partners some of the key points of contention are over trade attitudes towards climate change and the future of the iran nuclear deal the nato chief has also said he believes that within europe the political orientation and shifting values could have

a negative impact on the strength of the alliance despite the divisions though political analyst chris bambery he told us he thinks nato israel in containing russia is enough to ensure it will survive not a defensive alliance of the more is very much an offensive or winds particularly in regards to the russian federation because of that expansion russia's russian federation is borders the possibility of ukraine joining nato is afraid to be part of that one hour winds know the presence of nato forces in eastern europe the buildup of need to be seas right along the southern as well as the west the board all of the russian federation this is a very dangerous game i think it's who will survive on the balance because of the united states need to expand to virtuous around the russian federation as very very important and the nato presence has been built on russia's borders so for that at least they're going to be want to keep nato up and ahead of the nato summit now the

crucial meeting may take place the white house has announced that u.s. national security advisor john bolton will travel to moscow next week to discuss a potential meeting between donald trump and florida near putin's were aghast if breaks down the story. well it was all rumors up to this point but now john bolton has confirmed that he will be coming over to europe first perhaps symbolically to meet with u.s. pm allies nato allies organizing the summit next month but then he'll be traveling to moscow now this is john bolton we're talking about one of the most hawkish and militants of u.s. officials and national security adviser for donald trump he'll be organizing the details of and again this is a potential this isn't set in said in stone yet potential meeting between lead me

putin and donald trump the leaders of the united states and russia to nuclear superpowers and you know the time the time is now there's a lot to talk about this terrorism is syria ukraine the united states has concerns about the poisoning of a former russian agent in britain and of course alleged russian meddling in the u.s. election so they'll be a lot of you know frank discussion i'm sure behind closed doors but. the media has been well it hasn't received the news as well you would have thought that you know these two countries meeting at last now that relations are at rock bottom arguably worse than they were during the cold war you could argue that you know that makes the world a better safer place but pundits have gone into meltdown now arguing that you know any meeting with the russians will cause alarm and dismay in europe and among allies and in the west that there shouldn't be any contact at all they also said

that if donald trump first goose to russia to meet with putin instead of first going to the summit in in europe the nato summit that will send a wrong messages to the ready. allies so if this meeting is indeed confirmed we can expect a firestorm among pundits. with the issue of migration now a major fault line in european politics leaders are set to hold a summit in brussels on sunday in the hope of finding new ways of dealing with the crisis artie's donald a quarter has the details. well the solution to the migration crisis is certainly at stake here and there's been a lot of debate between e.u. member states now recently in germany there was a standoff between angle of merkel and her interior minister horst see hoffer see how for wants to turn migrants away at the german border while angela merkel

stressed a more european wide approach and this disagreement put the decades long government coalition here at risk and they only agreed to cease the hostilities until this summit coming up on sunday now ahead of this summit the e.u. commission released a draft document and it went over two points the first being stopping movement of migrants between e.u. member state borders and strengthening the borders of the european union itself as well as the coast guard but italy actually already said that it feels like it's getting the short end of the stick on this deal if we go to brussels to play this group who already written by friends in germany then we shouldn't even go we save the money for the trip now the german public is also concerned apparently three quarters of germans don't think merkel can find a european wide solution to the crisis according to polls and meanwhile hungary just passed a law that would criminalize helping migrants in need so it seems like no matter

how many more meetings we have of e.u. officials those alone aren't going to solve the crisis meanwhile french president emanuel micron's called for a fight against populism describing it as a disease spreading across europe that came after he was criticized for not accepting the my friendship aquarius which was also turned away by it and. you can see them rise a bit like a leprosy only across europe in countries where with thoughts that would be impossible to see them again in neighboring countries. the real my prissy is the hypocrisy of someone who pushes back immigrants and then wants to preach to us about our sacrosanct right to ask for an equal distribution of migrants have sympathy for italy and what it's having to enjoy all the worst ends of the migrant crisis but what is happening in reality even if the problem is europe not sorting it out brussels not sorting it out your neighbors not sorting it out what is actually happening is these extremely vulnerable people are suffering even more

than they have already well that's something that we have to prevent because it is not putting them on the board and sand to europe and you know that many of them died during that so this is not the way to solve the problem the probably should be solved from where they are coming from so we have to stop. the departure a whole of who is not a refugee because you know that this that this the teller's that the most almost the more than ninety percent of the people that is done is not the refugee bodies it is a migrant that just for economy is and this is not allowed in europe so we have to decide what we want to do we want to go in on the. movement of millions of people that are rooting for something better or we want to have really the refugee

and fighting in other way to have them konami code migrants so we are going to put to you european union that problem what should we do we cannot going on in that way because it's not fair also for those poor people that are. suffering because the tree in the hand of this madness is very dangerous sound that's our roundup of our news and world cup coverage thomas will take have at the top of the hour with more scientists. yes phone no i don't have one was the last time that you went on the internet no i'm not using these village is it safe to say. are you sure there is no actual

music or is there and they are all going to be sure to build the baby doesn't cover his service because. i want to go i want to say we're going on we saw. is a death as part of the deficit can we get. by that was what i was. previously yes and no they are being false form in a very astute member of the society. if you like you know. all across the western world the so-called melting pot is melting down immigration legal and illegal is probably the most contentious and divisive issue energizing voters in germany the government may collapse and trump has made this

a signature cause can the status quo be sustained. welcome to alex i mean sure i sailed from all sides these are not encouraging times for the press to. the irish question remains unresolved the lords are voting the tory party is split the scots are rebelling and cabinet members are threatening resignation today we asked the question has bracks said hit the buffers but first salix with your tweets your messages and emails. still lots of reaction to the series with their own shipbuilding barbara reid says it will sure well done

everyone involved a success story for shipbuilding at port glasgow and jeff proven odds fantastic thank you for the most professional program services deserves to lead the world in hydrogen shipping and student says ferguson levine was. a metaphor for the future of scotland on board show on service and ship building when you get to see and listen to the young apprentices but he is a bit worried when you were interviewing the age of like a rising tide yes and the table was rising but we got out just in time and finally james doohan some of the interview in the show giving each pass the time to. interruption you're quite right james i like that you know let some go what do they do it. on paper it seems business as usual for treason is government over the last two weeks tory party split threatened resignations and the prospect of being overturned in the commons however by hook or by crook and some assistance from the

labor party leadership the government held the line albeit with a little blurring at the edges however brett said let's to fight another day but the feeling of impending crisis is growing and the anti begs that forces may get overwhelmed the prime minister today to examine these forces in question whether they can hold the brakes at bus first stop is the house of lords the watch talk of the constitution has been barking decisively on the brakes a bill with a series of kick up and defeats in the upper chamber here's a taster of recent debate. on proposed amendment create safe. almost structure set out in little for parliament to express its views in all of the various outcomes that might come to pass in our exit from the e.u. it is in the national interest that parliament should not be faced by just a take it or leave it but that's not just some arcane interest as a lot of all the research assistants who'd be hugely harmed including those who voted for brett sit the lords have had the ball into the comma.
