but the problem july seventeenth twenty second so right your bar business program interactive exhibition. forum dot com. the kremlin and the white house confirming the first official summit between donald trump and putin. world cup day fourteen c. switzerland and brazil qualify for the last sixteen but there's a surprise upsets in the group. the finding of champions germany go crashing out to south korea and while the koreans fail to qualify for the.

it's midnight here in moscow watching altie international live with me in a day or two to welcome to the program the kremlin and the white house have agreed on the first official summit between donald trump and. this was revealed during the visit of u.s. national security advisor john bolton to moscow where he met with the russian president reports. this summit is indeed happening one of like me at putin's a aides also said that it was organized before john bolton's visit to moscow but we learned we had a few details as to why or how this summit was organized john bolton said that don't trump ease for mending relations with russia despite criticism both at home at the broad the fact is that it's important for the leaders of these two countries to meet there are a wide range of issues despite the differences between the square both president

trump and president couldn't think they may be able to find constructive solutions i'd like to hear someone say that's a bad idea which you know it's important that it's john bolton saying those words because he's aggressive when it comes to foreign policy he cool russia's alleged meddling in the u.s. elections an act of war and dad now he's backing donald trump saying that we do indeed need this summit that you know it will benefit it will benefit everyone especially at this stage with vladimir putin called the relations not in the best shape which is baps diplomatically very polite others would say that the relations between the united states and russia. are at an all time low i have to begin with regrets a belief stating that relations between russia and the us a not in the best shape and i said it many times and i want to repeat it at the meeting with you i think this is a result of acute internal political clashes within the u.s.

but your visit to moscow gives hope that we'll be able to at least take the first steps toward restoring full relations between our countries. also a number of tough questions asked of john bolton with gods in his prior position is very anti russian classic republican as. someone. my colleagues called in my joining the press conference but he said that what he said before what he wrote before was you know it got decided he won't comment on it because it happened before his current posting his national security advisor to donald trump he was also asked a funny question that you know he was treated with more respect than the pope or anglo michael johnson of germany because vladimir putin wasn't late to his meeting with. john bolton at which he elected they said i don't want to reply i don't want

to comment on this question but let me also extend that in friendship they both reads rates at the desired med relations to make he said to me putin even offered to share russia's experience of hosting the world cup. with i want to congratulate you on winning the right to host the fifo world cup in twenty twenty six we so far managed to organize the world cup appropriately we'll be happy to share our experience in the. most appreciative of your courtesy and graciousness here and i look forward to learning how you handle the world cup so successfully among other things specific details that stuff when donald trump and me a booking will meet i still secret they've decided to share them synchronously the kremlin and the white house and washington together tomorrow decide dell announce a new creation it won't be russia the united states it'll be

a. country hosting the event in a meeting that sixpack that the last few hours of and in a joint declaration. dollars from hill to confirm that the meeting has been agreed on. a line to be among the pages of discussion we all feel that pentagon official michael really wanted to comment on the two leaders might be able to find. i think first of all they'll agree to disagree on certain things for example on the alleged russian interference in the two thousand and sixteen elections i don't think that that's uppermost in trump's mind but it's primarily business and i think that that's where things are going to be heading i think he also wants to tone down the the confrontation that has been going on as i said you i saw i saw today a much more tame bolton who really wanted to push nato right up to the russian border that seems to be something that seems to be wanting to diffuse

a little bit principally because the allies are not forthcoming with paying their share and secondly as he pointed out and hinted it's quite expensive for the u.s. to carry that carry that burden all the time so it's easier to make nice than it is to get nasty and and i think that that's where trump is is going to be heading both and if it was discussed during this meeting with the portuguese president will sell over about it and of course they couldn't avoid mentioning. i think they're doing a fantastic job with the world cup right now. it's in russia and i will tell you that it's exciting my son loves soccer and he loves watching the world cup and they have really done a fantastic job as you spoke of soccer let me ask you something or i'll make you a suggestion if you're going to meet us to put them what i was with him last week good yes and he asked me to greet you so of course he was expecting your just but

anyway. don't forget that portugal has the best player in the book that useful if you're not sure your son knows it was all and so and so don't forget if you go to russia during the championship don't forget both you could steal the i. think it's really doing very well. portugal will be facing your quiet on saturday after making it through the world cup group stage and in wednesday's great matches there was one major upset for the latest ever to our special coverage from out eastern here overlooking the kremlin. rating bowl champions full time slow play germany did we wondered if brazil might follow them in another big shot but it hasn't happened it's going to forming pre-pay brazil brushing server side to nothing switzerland playing out a t.t.

troll with costa rica what do you make of the reaction we were keeping across both of those games but brazil fairly comfortable comfortable played really well today. you know so it was a straightforward two nil win serbia didn't have what it took today to put any kind of pressure on on bristol and in fact i told a lot of the certain players look to straighted and me to reach out for and was sort of acting out all the time he was fit and booked as well. be a concert he would have missed the next came the same with manchester united's the man to match the same you know acting out very very solid it that difficult to break down he's brought back he sits and got in front of the pack full he did score the goal today it's one of the first times i've seen actually pregnant or they say the other half. and you know that that was old was kind of to add to

half an hour to go then fine and then you was brought up in india in the old days it would have put another strike and to go for number three and they still had that little problem child name who is the most expensive play in the world needed an unbelievable amount of money was paid for him to p.s.g. and he's still trying to impress everyone with his skills and nothing really is happening for a name i had a couple of chances today that he missed but also it's in the actual game where i think it becomes a problem it's like. the put the other players to think that the game so decided to decide to whenever they had the ball find a man he would do something. but they do find them out that pit that it's ok but he won't do something he it's not happening for him and i think he needs a little break he might not even be completely fit because he was injured getting into this tournament. but at his current stand and his current level it

might not be a bad idea to give him a little bit of a break because it's not happening for him and one trick of a player like that you know a little bit of thinking time i sat on the bench watching the other guy he might come on i mean might be a player that is more valuable to the team he has a good four or five chances will's most expensive player but he's certainly not living up to that reputation like we said this is a much more solid looking you know the heart it's a beat the back it won't have affected the brazilian celebrations i'm sure they told the group that it pretty comfortably in the end seven points only one goal conceded let's cross over to actually standing right next to a big group of brazilian fans and they were just chanting and dancing and being very happy about the result of the sleeve very comfortable win for them i have to credit the serbian fans as well i was set just by the serbian and inside the stadium there were also chanting there are throughout the whole game pushing to get a team forward it didn't really work out for them but it seems that they're not

really completely downbeat they were leaving the stadium and tell me yes they were sad but there's always next time and they were just happy to be had this world cup having this opportunity to watch their team like so obviously that's a lot of celebration especially that's actually very funny thing that i noticed right before the game i was looking around the ground a spot a stadium and many brazil fans were openly celebrating the results of the germany result of south korea game. which ended germany's chance to see how this world because you just seem happy right is known even if you ask them because they're doing it themselves all right you guys happy. very happy right. for sure. you know you going to execute. a medical i know it's going to be an interesting game indeed and obviously will be on top of that as well when it happens all the way a lot of noise i think especially for mexico fans if they were going to have good story about infants and the brazilian fans in the same stadium and in some are oh

well that's going to be something. we should go for that. you get them let's go to lexicon to the roof and do this for us yeah we talked about the brazil performance you know neymar trying to strike since flicks didn't produce much there was one quality one time say in the first all they came to see the thirty six minutes team you know putting the bullet in the gun the right thing you said. he was he was really fantastic when he played for liverpool and he's just improved on that since since joining off alone and you can see when you when you get used to having players that makes those kind of runs its problems is out of the the playbook that then you find the players with those kind of passes as well and that was just third posse had in that first half. had one of them. and the other one and then the third one third time lucky was

a slow progress from brazil today to kind of strangle serbia out of this match serve people still haul but maybe pulling off a recovery but they were pretty much extinguished on sixty eight minutes this is now a double belly kill the space shuttle so. you know. we're never going to come back from that serbia. in this incident. is actually committing a fall and i'm quite sure he would have been the penalty. for not score but me too it's got himself booked in the situation and again a stupid thing to do. and maybe a fair reflection on how serbia work today there. sort of a little bit of everything all the time not completely where they've been when they played costa ricans with some. other group the much that was played tonight and this is testimony we've said it before though teams that are already out of the competition they're still giving

their all it means a lot to them to be at this world cup and twice costa rica when they hiding at switzerland twice they take them back to two it ended and it's a pretty good game this is a must have to put the ball in the back connect with some of them. just the beginning don't think about it don't give everybody a chance to put a foot or anything i suspect he doesn't score see many goals because he clearly relished the opportunity to do you think the celebrations were going i enjoy a good need jesus. that's how i would be doing it if i was going to smash it and then really revel in that my kindle and we waited as what but it was just an equalize for costa rica and then we had a game and it was it became a game costa rica really went for the win a fantastic and if it needed a fantastic finish to have really well playing and some on this with school he was

excellent in the first five minutes here two massive saves. and one of the. i'm putting my neck on the line here i haven't i've only seen the watch i watch it from here and broadcasting but it looks to be one of the saves of the the tournament so i get back to my hotel and we see one more time and then i'll let you know if i still think that tomorrow but in the first five minutes costa rica could have gone easily and easily have gone to know the truth and they didn't but then. i was want to point out i like to watch the celebration that we took off probably knowing it's a booking if you take it off they just gave everyone a flash of office to. so clever thinking so we're going on what looked like it would be the way to eighty eight minutes. back in front yes it. is fun to the nice guy out of these just from a. fresh off the bench you know i don't think he's had many charges that he comes in and the finish and i'll tell you people don't know how difficult that was the

technique that would cost to put the ball with that pace with the size foot on the ball that comes to shoot with that accuracy that was that was a fantastic finish and change to all the old rules first of all the referee was quite happy to give a pendency to costa rica right at the end a one two minutes before that but he actually cancelled out for us so i eventually got the pendency you know when it comes off the ball and hits a goalkeeper in the head and he goes in but it's written down as a goal and own goal by the goalkeeper and when you read back in two weeks you probably can't remember that he had the power to sing though did he make a mistake so you see brazil very very comfortable going through this group that was a difficult start for them they played one one which was in the first game and everybody so well for so they're going to struggle here for that to happen seven points switzerland i mean they've really had to mess up to.

these final great matches and that's just quickly now filling up with teams that have qualified and which do you like the look of the most if you could only have tickets to one game which would it be of the games yeah. laughs again the site is obviously going to state that lots of. i actually think i would i would go to the spain russia game just to to have the atmosphere in the news media i was there yesterday for the france denmark game and it was a bit of a flat experience no goals last twenty minutes with. that he could have stopped the games i think in twenty minutes before so be nice to. to experience the. intro flow with with two teams and we have to remember it's a knockout game so it has to be settled the drama that can create in that arena couldn't even trick is that spain i think is the team i would say that you have lit up the most when speaking about youth believe that they have complete quality

throughout the team in the playing the host nation will have a huge very very supportive crowd behind them so it's going to be something special i didn't get it was going to and i think for russia the way that that you know they were they were crushed for the group of spain portugal the way it always panned out this is as good for the alternative would have been to play portugal and such now. would you do that would you think that i mean you could you talking plus what thirty thirty three degrees you play in portugal who it's a different team you don't really know who's turning up you know ronaldo is going to be difficult they went all the way to the final of the euro's two years ago without winning a single game they won them on penalties when they needed to shoot to decide the game and only in the final and that is in extra time as well only in the final did they win a game so you have this kind of team we don't really know so if i'm if i was

a russian play i'd say i prefer to be in my home in luzhniki eighty thousand people supporting me just atmosphere it's going to be fantastic and i know i'm playing spain but i'll take my chances with you know you're a player at home so you know not that goes a long way in football is mine. to to produce that little bit extra and you just very quickly we're at that stage now we're going to lose we are going to least some big names we've got france taking on argentina uruguay against portugal there's no hiding anymore no no no all this is that the world cup so fast been fantastic the atmosphere. in the streets of moscow i think most fans they use moscow as a base in the travel out to the to the cities where the games have been played so this place has been absolutely heaving and people had left it but it's been the group face now it's a big boys everyone who is strong enough to get through that so it's a tournament it's cotton house of sixteen teams going home by the time you start

these games and sixteen teams are still in it and every time we have one round it's going to go half and you know you really have to be at your game you have to be performing at the highest of your ability to get through to the next and so and you know it's no surprise you have all these games became tomorrow's you know a really really big game but when the draw was made everyone pointed to sports spain and then in kaliningrad on the thirty eight when play tells you and it's it's not irrelevant but it is in many ways because of both through both and i'm just wondering how tactical will it be you'll have noticed on our draw any shown it to you in the four spaces still available that's the team. mates we will see the group page action play out first so i would know poland around little bitty teams out of colombia and japan and senegal and by the time england play belgium in that much anticipated encounter those sides will know who they can face if they finish top or

bottom the level on goal difference level on points level on goals scored if it's a draw it will come down to the fair play the yellow and red cards in a very moment at the moment there are only separated only in time of that group because they've only got two yellow cards to belgium's three so this is where it could get so. if it's a joe and they end up getting the same amount of have the same amount of. yellow ones. after after the game it goes to draw lots and it's been. a lot of the. i don't even know what in this nation age will be something electronic is it going to be who's got the longest stick or the flip of a coin it will be i have an idea that you pick three or four players and then you go to the roots. and you actually play for that place i could with i'm sure that will be better than what actually actually now as we've said both seems

a story. stop and it shows a marine one to have known this when he made his predictions on the game head of the match but he weighed up the strengths and weaknesses before and let's hear his thoughts on the game. belgium to decide something because if these match decide something will be a match full of french because the majority of the belgian players they play in england in the same teams as the english players will be a match with teams and players that know each other amazingly well they know everything about about each other and lots and lots of quality involved in both teams so if this match means something for polish occasion this is a measure of i don't want to lose. one

team who won't win it and who all celebrating germany the biggest shock of the day indeed of the world cup so far the first time they've been knocked out in the early stages since nineteen thirty eight but there devised a smile to fans from other nations and they did the germans dimentia a respectful balm for us. both. the last good the.

michael had quote is now for more news stories with maine a day or two to the u.s. is withdrawing two billion dollars of funding for the united nations' counterterrorism office that's cost live to new york to get the details from auntie's kaleb. so why has washington decided to withdraw it funds intended for counter-terrorism while the official reason that the usa is withdrawing two million dollars from the un counter-terrorism office basically the reason given is that they referred to a terrorism conference that opens up on thursday and the fact that interest groups which they refer to as civil society are being excluded from it now on thursday this counter-terrorism conference is opening up and there will be two sessions that are on the opening day of the conference that will specifically talk about the sharing of information and expertise in combat in foreign fighters now these sessions will not be open to news organizations or interest groups now nikki haley

the representative of the united states to the united nations called the fact that these interest groups are excluded from these sessions sure for that as abuse this is nikki haley by decision is an abuse of the un's new counterterrorism office and a stain on the un's record on transparency and civil society inclusion. now this fits a pattern of the usa diminishing its role in the united nations we recently saw the usa withdraw from the un human rights council and prior to that the usa withdrew from the organization for education culture and science from the united nations so the usa has been pulling back but they simply do not approve of these interest groups not being included the reason that was given for these interest groups and not being included was one of security so a lot of questions are being asked but the usa considers it unacceptable that these interest groups are not participating and won't question the. line from new york to

discuss this with. the former advisor to iran's nuclear negotiating tame welcome to the program. what do you think is behind the u.s. decision to cut two million dollars funding for the united nations counter-terrorism office. well first of all let me correct what your reporter said the interest groups and the ngos are participating in the second day of this conference happening in new york today and tomorrow and other places very badly on nikki haley who has used this very lame excuse to knock down the counterterrorism office which by the way has been financed heavily by saudi arabia and the u.s. isn't happy with the fact that a russian diplomat is heading that artery and basically using any cheap excuse

to knock down the u.n. has an ideological bias against the u.s. and this is just the latest financial loss that afflicts that ideological bias lucy can tell you most likely for the foreseeable future part of that the speech went to the n.g.'s it's a roll of the engine in counterterrorism the head of the u.n. counterterrorism officer the man foreign kathleen says that they should not be involved in the organizations work while washington plays they should what should the situation actually be who is right. well i personally think that this is primarily a security issue involving intergovernmental are first and not do not have closed sessions on a matter like this is not unprecedented that the the u.n.

and if you go back to the post nine eleven they've been number of close relations why do you are so sponsoring those so there is an element of double standard and hypocrisy there aside from that you know there's a good deal of positive things from this conference that the u.s. should look forward to such as you know movement of terrorists cross border. cyber security and financing of terrorism etcetera things that the u.s. professes to be you know of interest to it and yet has degraded its presence at the conference and has basically turned its back on it which is very unfortunate and really shows this horrible record that the tramp administration has accumulated over the past year and a half against the united nations i mean carol you've talked about double standards and hypocrisy. with regard to this dispute what about compromising

global counterterrorism efforts is a lot of what's going to happen always happening. well you know unfortunately would dealing with an administration that only gives lip service to multilateralism and international cooperation and we saw that with the us is withdrawal from the iran nuclear agreement which has been endorsed by the un security council and that puts the un us in defiance of the security council not to mention its disregard for the general assembly's board international the status of jerusalem and number of related issues having only three that lewis is on the wrong track when it comes to important international issues such as counterterrorism and the purpose of this conference spearheaded by the security general just a good ten issues to forge international and regional cooperation in the region such as central asia and the middle east and africa and the us should participate

fully and all heartedly instead of turning its back on it. i believe the discussion political analyst cut by a frosty our thanks for coming on to the program. a group of french pushers are demanding a place protection claiming they've become a terror target at the hands of activists they cute animal rights campaigners are vandalizing shops across the country and spreading fear among lepers. don't leave so i came here when to have them the shark and get it cleared and i saw the window had been smashed and recessed so to trust randomness my robbery but then i saw the writing and realised it was the.
