a potential meeting between donald trump and vladimir putin is it to be discussed during the u.s. national security advisers visit to moscow next week. we're broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our national 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 see and well they've finished their second games so now to neil harvey and peter schmeichel anarchies world cup in st petersburg for analysis.

welcome to another full. in st petersburg tennis russia is. a white night ahead but a dark day for all agenting in football tina found 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. the. piece michael 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 team

a specific 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 play is you know the big sea 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 you didn't do in the game against iceland 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 about the much off from 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 really hurt i can see now and that's. completely down to their own performance. pretty much all the talk coming into this game was that knowledge and tina needed 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 course if you don't think they put pressure on the everybody i mean they must play from the back i don't understand their cup and 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 moderates 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 tournament's look at marge which is

a big player and he's turned out that was his second gold and so on and the second really good as well this was one time but getting there 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 tick tick tackles going in 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 icy 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 feel 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 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 new that the sort of situation because it's not applied at the moment would you like to see volume. things like band or is that is it just too much of a judgment call in the moment leading to the right i don't want vox to be used very much in football we've got to be fair to all 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 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 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 or football teams two or three or four nil on penalties and that's not right for me well speaking of the fans we've had our peter all of a fantastic scenes a celebration here initially you know and get out after 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 knew this was going to be tough we were in the so go for the it's always like this we always support the team that way we know that it's going to be very difficult and it was really difficult window before our eyes a gracious and 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 riches probably well we're going to be seeing for a long time and they still immense as you can see from the foundry match well that

happiness is just hell for us. no you don't want her what do you make of that we were expecting three zero zero zero zero 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 here in michigan no good oh it was packed in there thousands of people the vast majority of them with cheering for argentina at the beginning plenty of russian people would go involved with filling 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 but it's i 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 cattle at the bottom a lot 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 wish them luck in the next round but we will support croatia got all of misty novgorod as for them today yeah i don't. know who they were really friendly with us i don't know why but the russian people treat us really really good so i'm popular that happen i guess yeah but as a kind of i saw i was initially supporting creation i really like racial because i think they the croatians are the brother is a russian i didn't support argentina frankly though i am the feelings are impossible to describe such a big group of friends lots of gracious came here to watch football it's an indescribable feeling of credit when argentina has lost the i.c. they have

a very strong team but they haven't been able to pull it together we want to thank everyone who has come here at the national grid you buy thank you very much a lick of us. as initially no thrilled face in love with croatia well the city's a new look because they'll be back here it seems for their second round match and i think they'll find a little movie grades a new heights of thought is in not fun faced when they do i want to pick up other paid more talented plates and trying. on a wonderful story that of people found wanting just what should just wonderful atmosphere and some swapping it for tickets i have to ask you what's the best show they use what do you have one little story. so when casper was a kid obviously he got all the shirts so and it's funny kept them all and funny enough those kicks on the back of most of them and then obviously the manchester united goalkeeper shows 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 only here when manchester united was still playing with the idea of us and they changed too. and they play with that need us now he's got this vintage should if you would like i did fits him and 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 groups a clash between france and perry the second game of the day and the school was one nil to france at half time. i. don't but 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 just you know 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 that we say many of their fans. every for the france game i said then like 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 they've got to do actually a really good action from him chips it 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 full 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 a stray and lost and i hear this is why it gets tricky they lost two on two fronts and i'll simplify it if if denmark loses one they'll just to give you an example then one uses one no australia wins one then they would be unfold points both of

them and that scholes goes with australia would be three three so st go score three against denmark would be to score and two against and that means australia will go through on this one most schools go yet so that's only needs a one no result in both those kinds and i macit center around it ended one one democratic a very early late walk to finish from christian you know 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 then the end result was that one one guy. team 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 the two countries and their teams game between brazil and costa rica will be a chance for the five time world champions to put one foot in the knockout round and are to use world cup co-host just a marine you have been predicting who will take the spoils. 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 to play a friendly against scotland and i know a well organized but the force of resilience full of the creativity of dynamic. brazil is going to have many problems to get this one. we can now past since the biggest party on the planet kicked off right here in russia and there are still three weeks to go more of the world cup and with eleven

cities hosting world cup games across russia moscow is a hard for many of the traveling fans and one particular street has become a beacon for the supporters from around the globe to try to go hits to be an official. 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. to satisfy the press where was taught in the box because it's called got to go it was funny got. like. three streets on the like someone i don't know on

him you know you know said joe joe. so how do you find this street with the line i'll show you. now trust me you will see us when we get there. this very tempting to stay on the right square but here we have to make a life. to . make clothes for the same. thing here. there are no empty space on the wall and.

the. table sounds like nonsense but if you think. that street it was full of cars full of them are. come. close. fun times there but 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 you're going to reports now from london. but 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 tunisia game where england the two zero two two one and these chants were reportedly addressed at 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 is

a point 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 of also said we strongly condemn this kind of behavior and are working to take appropriate action. you know the secretary general has warned of the alliance might be on the brink of collapse without another news after a short break stay with us. i .

like the many flips over the years so i know the guy even so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens. the preach the funnel school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money. and spending to twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else on it because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy great so we'll watch runs. and thinks it's going to. be welcome back this is our team international now the nato secretary general is warning that political disputes and infighting risk tearing the military alliance

apart but speaking in london stolzenberg insisted 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 phone will survive for ever but i believe we will serve it those comments and stoltenberg 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 the meetings could inflame tensions between washington and its partners and 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 that use political orientation and shifting values could have a negative impact on the strength of the alliance and despite of the divisions though political analyst chris bambery told us that he thinks nato is 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 right along the southern as well as the western border of the russian federation this is a very dangerous game i think they need to will survive on the balance because for the united states nato expansion to virtuous their own 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 and his bride garcia breaks down 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 the mayor putin and donald trump the leaders of the united states and russia two 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 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 the pundits have gone into meltdown now arguing that you know any meeting with the russians will. allow men 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 to a european. allies so if this meeting is indeed confirmed we can expect a firestorm among pundits. russia's interior minister has attended a u.n. forum on international policing to define u.s. sanctions against him or to scare them up and reports now from new york here at the united nations we've just witnessed the international summit of police chiefs now russia was represented at the summit by its minister of the interior vladimir khaled cultivates now in his remarks to the gathering called cult of emphasized that russia has actually exceeded its promise in the training of international police officers at its institute in moscow and that at that institute they've been excessive especially emphasizing the role of female police officers and emphasizing the role of women in policing around the world furthermore it's important to note

that color culture is actually on the list of russian government officials who are subject to sanctions by the united states however he said and he made clear that his travels were going perfectly smoothly no difficulties whatsoever in participating in this very important international gathering. does it for me i will be back in about thirty four minutes flick to stay with us this hour contraction. 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 is maybe the signature cause can the status quo be sustained. stunt market manipulation by insiders. abetted by regulators like to see say all the a c c is doing

here. see while you can look up an urban dictionary what that means all they're trying to do is cover their tracks so that when the lawsuits happen they can say oh we were aware of it we warned against a world top of it but they are aiding and abetting the regulators or captured the regulators or venal the regulators that tell you. this is problem bus broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. i'm part thank you very much for watching we appreciate it up on today's program we've looked at immigration including the economic and business impact of u.s. policies and specifically the policy of separating families artie's on your parm
