a potential meeting between donald trump environment putin is to be discussed during the u.s. national security advisers visit to moscow next week. broadcasting live from our studios moscow this is our national sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us now day eight of the world cup in russia has come to a close as we continue our special coverage of the tournament teams in groups c. and d. have now finished their second games so now to you know harvey and peter schmeichel in artie's world cup in st petersburg for the.

welcome to another beautiful white night here in st petersburg the fantasy of russia is no. white knight here but a dark day for argentina and football tina fans 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 three argentina nil. to dismantle 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 all 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 messing who is a big player didn't turn up again like he didn't do the game against iceland a very very very rough game very hotly played a lot of tempus tempers flaring surprisingly enough only six yellow cards no red cards we were actually betting on that that 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 it 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 really hurt. and seen 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 throws 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 luke a moderate each i i was going courage in watching them to pass i didn't think he could score from here that was dynamited not right for. the big players to 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 turned again it was

a lot of other tension between the teams and not many icons in the first hour but then they started develop as argentina became more frustrated and then we saw some pretty even ticked of tackles going in and i think ultimately this should not have had a you know i think he should have been sent off he. made an incredible chance to see the sea racquets 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 people will look back on retrospect and for 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 there'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 in the sort of situation because that is not applied at the moment would you like to see volley. used to things like

band or is he just too much of a judgment call in the moment leading to the arrest i don't want fox to be used to very much in football we've got to be fair to all of the vasa since 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 all the temperaments all how they like to see football i don't see i think anyone wants to see to use free fall 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 of three or four nil on penalties and that's not

right for me and well speaking of the fans so we've had a home and peter all of a fantastic scenes of celebration here initially you know and get out of there what was already a fantastic weekend full croatia we spoke to some of those argentina in funds they were going to get them out of the way first they're disappointed but they always you this was going to be tough they were in the so go for the it's always like these we always support the team that way we know that it's going to be very difficult and it was really difficult we know before our eyes a great show in israel we know it was if you go by the will would like to support the team always but this is of course the story of true a shit tonight they scold not only three goals they played fantastically but go from the commode rich is probably one we're going to be seeing for a long time and they still didn't and as you can see from the fans the mets well the happiness is just hell face.

what do you make of that we were expecting three zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero was the long room to what this really was i was watching a bunch watching this game in the fun fest just next to the kremlin and you should you know it's good oh it was patched in their thousands of people the vast majority of them with cheering for argentina at the beginning plenty of russian people would go involved with failing me the blue and white tell me that it's made its way over to russia from south america however when we saw during that game was really a lesson in how to win over friends and entertain people by the time not third goal went in almost all of those who'd previously bob's been cheering for argentina well they changed over to the red and white checks of true asia the part about the both of the croatians did just great well frankly speaking initially i was for argentina until the very last moment i was sure that lionel messi was going to prove himself

at this championship since one although had already scored four goals but it was a failing game for messi he didn't manage to score the croatians did great we wished him luck in the next round but yes we will support croatia out of all of nizhny novgorod is for them today. as nizhny novgorod face in live with croatia well the city is in look because they'll be back here it seems for their second round match and i think they'll find a little move grades a new heights of boat is in not a fun fest when they do i want to pick up other pay to the hotel and had plates on for trying. on a wonderful story that or people fans wanting to swap should just wonderful atmosphere and someone swapping it for tickets i have to ask you what's the best show that you swapped it was all i have one little story. so when casper was a kid obviously he got all this so and it's funny. kept them all and fun enough

those kicks on the back of most of them and then obviously the manchester united goalkeeper showed as well but i got a picture said to me this is a couple of months ago my grandson in one of those shirts and it's a manchester united shirt for my first year the only year when manchester united was still playing with the this and they changed to. and they play with that the us now he's got this vintage should if you would like i did fits him i actually saw it when i got the picture that was cast but that's magnificent thank you for sharing let's get right up to date with group c. class for say france and thirty second game of the day and the school was one nil to france at half time ah the. i'm very grateful to everyone who has come here to support us it's incredible they've made it all the way from peru to russia unfortunately we didn't achieve the results we wanted despite the fact that the

team played well and had good chances during the game will still use you know we had to play with the intensity and aggression in order to get there is all we wanted we need to continue step by step from here we are really happy with how the game when it was a we were playing through there was so many of their fans. every for the france game axis to denmark they had a joy against australia at least they're not going for points and they're a straight ahead we have to go so it's all about you actually a really good action from him chipset over the goalkeeper and papa becomes a youngest frenchman ever to score in the world cup france and denmark they play in illusion he on the twenty six and on the twenty six as well australian through play so what the situation is now is that denmark as you can see got four points that can all be completely irrelevant if they don't win against france or at least get a job because australia with a win over peru gets a four points as well and since australian lost and i hear this is why it gets

tricky they lost two on two fronts. i'll simplify it if if denmark loses one just to give you an example a democrat has won a string of wins one then they would be unfold points both of them and that their score scores with australia would be three three source three go score three against denmark would be to score and two against and that means australia will go through on this one most court goal gets not only needs a one no result in both those games and a massive turnaround and indeed one one it was democratic a very early late walk to finish from christian here it's not i'm not sure if you heard his need in the senate gratian but they. again as he did against france he stepped up to to take the penalty and he put it past michael which i'm quite familiar with unfortunate because he didn't save it and the end result was

that one one. st petersburg will play host to one of the world cup favorites brazil which plays costa rica on friday at three pm local time the brazilian team has recently arrived in st petersburg they were met at the entrance of their hotel by. crowds of cheering fans many of whom were russians celebrating the friendship of the two countries and their teams a game between brazil and costa rica will be a chance for the five time world champions to put one foot in the knockout rounds and argues world cup co-host also marino has been predicting who will take the sport's. brazil in costa rica costa rica's not just the team that did well in the past world cup is also a team that is very stable and just watch them at to play a friendly against scotland and i know i will organize the but the force of brazil

is full of dozens of creativity of that and i mean i don't think brazil is going to have many problems to get this three points. where we can now past since the biggest party on the planet can't go off in russia and there are still three more weeks to go of the world cup with eleven cities hosting the world cup games across russia moscow is a hobby for many of the traveling fans and one particular street has become a big end for the supporters from around the globe particularly to try and go if the unofficial fans of. i'm from moscow a city of more than ten million people and i cannot believe how the world cup was able to reach raul the map of latin marks in the city if you thought it was the kremlin possibly right square or the arbat street i'll have to tell you that this time you're wrong where. are you going to moscow.

i just saw the red square little. in the box because it looks like it's going to go on you can go along much. like the green the streets of the like the one. you know you're going to not take jo-jo. so how do you find this street with the line i'll show you. now trust me you'll feel it when we get. there tend to stay on the right square but here we have to make a life. going to town. make little scandal or the great other like never really been touring the world coming.

to see here let me clear the sky there are no empty like a little. really good cut. cut cut. cut cut cut cut cut. cut cut cut cut cut to cut. to a bit sounds like nonsense like toxic soup you can't treat street that was full of cars full of them are. cutting.

oh the loaves. away from the jubilance and festivities though the tournament has seen a few dark moments british police have opened an investigation into a group of england fans who were allegedly seen giving nazi salutes in one of the host cities artie's honest as he joked about reports now from london. put an unfortunate incident seems to have unraveled in one of the host cities of the world cup in volgograd where english fans were captured giving nazi salutes singing hitler songs as well as shouting nazi slogans and this is now being looked into now it's understood that this unraveled following the england game where england beat an easy or two to one and these chants were totally addressed rivaling top football

club fans and the staff at this bar where this took place apparently have confirmed that english fans were in there they said they missed this moment because they were closing the bar up at that point and we do know that british officials are indeed investigating what unraveled there we have heard from the national police chiefs council in a statement to us they said that this important behavior seen in video is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated they've said they're working to identify those involved and we've also heard from the english football association and also said they strongly condemn this kind of behavior and are working to take appropriate action. you know the secretary general has warned via lions might be on the brink of collapse and that and other news after a short break stay with us. thank .

you put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so what you want to be president. want to. have to do like to be this is what the book for three of the more people. interested always in the water. thanks to.

our welcome back this is our t. international and the nato secretary general is warning that political disputes and infighting risk tearing the international military alliance apart but speaking in london. told stoltenberg did insist that perseverance that nato is in the interests of its twenty nine member states. these disagreements are real it is not written in storm that the transatlantic will survive for ever but i believe we will serve it. now those comments and stolzenberg call for unity come ahead of next month's nato summit which will be attended by donald trump he has been a frequent critic of the alliance and it is feared at the meetings that could inflame 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 e.u. as political orientation and shifting values could have a negative impact on the strength of the alliance despite the divisions though political analyst chris bambery told us that he thinks nato role in containing russia is enough to ensure that it will survive this is not a defensive alliance anymore it's very much an offensive alliance particularly in regards to the russian federation because of that expansion i roamed russia's russian federation's borders the possibility of ukraine joining nato it's effectively part of that alliance alliance know the presence of nato forces in eastern europe the buildup of nato bases rights of all in the southern as well as the western border of the russian federation this is a very dangerous game i think in its who will survive on the balance because for

the united states the nato expansion to virtuous arone the russian federation has been very important and the been nato presence has been built on russia's borders so for that at least they're going to they want to keep nato up and ahead of the nato summit another 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 vladimir putin are his but i've got to break down the story for us. 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 european 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 putin and donald trump the leaders of the united states and russia two nuclear superpowers and you know the time when the time is now there's a lot to talk about this terrorism as syria ukraine the united states has concerns about the poisoning of a former russian agent in in britain and of course alleged russian meddling in the u.s. elections will 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 the wrong messages to the ready jittery european. allies so if this meeting is indeed confirmed we can expect a firestorm among pundits. riviere 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 quarter as 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 hoffer wants to turn migrants away at the german border while angle and 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 the scripts 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 has called for a find against populism describing it as it is easy spreading across europe that came after he was criticized for not accepting the migrant to ship aquarius which was also turned away by italy 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 leprosy 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 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 of hold of who is not a real refugee because you know that the statistics tell us that the most almost the more than ninety percent of the people that is stunning is not the refugee but is it is a migrant that just for economy partners and this is not allowed in europe so we have to decide what we want to do we want to going on that we do is a movement of millions of people that are rooting for something better or we want to have really the refugee and fighting and another way to have them out of the economy called migrants so we are going to put to you european union that problem what should be 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 model is very dangerous for that as
