well that look at what south korea and iran did among others. the world cup is now not just a sporting event it's become a real festival with a multitude of cultures giving it their all on the streets of russia. next trip where bill bennett said most of you don't you.

know you don't get a little. bit. more over the mexican holiday day of the dead which is normally celebrated in early november that's given a special rendition in the center of moscow is alley reports. my. feet i. think you will see there's something i'll believe but actually this is one of. the good well executed low ball setup right that's right was perfect but when they brought it to the roots of the summer a body goes back to the precursor to period in mexico you. so it now

but how about this for the better take place it must go back to feeling like they were quick to rush it was always fun cause it got these really great atmosphere you know it's really nice and i think it's really nice to have like make sure they send spirit and that all russia can see part of me here it's. really important because it's the day when you can remember all your sisters all the people you love and the people that it's not with you anymore. i said body i'm everything going on the part i'm very happy to be. part of this exhibition includes all the work in the traditional mexican style you've got these frogs and these plates and these dishes and even some of these quite scary looking skulls but the best part. construed.

as i mentioned earlier this evening portugal clash with here why in sochi here why fans have already been to a number of russian cities during the world cup one of which seems to have made an especially good impression. i do. not. think that knowledge is good when the children want to hold on the question is . closer to what is a little closer. than a. little. nation. the little song but.

then i know my little you know her this. week we will hear. from him there would you like. i did. five oh yeah yeah yeah one spot why the media i mean. let. me. little.

my hands. i know the monkey and i got back to the movie mission to love you loser you know in the mail when you just don't know if you want to tell you i mean. we'll. see. you all fans of purcell or another waited for hours outside the hotel you've been staying in and searching just to catch the briefest influences of the footballing superstar. coming up in the program donald trump refuses to rule out recognizing crimea as a part of russia more on that in just a moment. join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

remember i'm free brags that it was all about the british my to bring back five hundred factories are going to export our way back into a g.d.p. rocketship and take on the world cool britannia go britannia well it turns out they're all going to be picking fruit out there in canberra shire. the current american administration is raising tariffs and drew funny old trade agreements when america sneezes can the rest of the world avoid contributing protectionist fever.

welcome back u.s. president gul trump says he does not recognize in crimea as russian the province was rejoined with russia in two thousand and fourteen but is still considered by western countries to be a part of ukraine artists american has more on the development on board air force one on friday trump spoke to reporters about his upcoming meeting with putin when a reporter asked him if he'd recognize crimea as part of russia he said quote we're going to have to see but then he blamed obama for the entire crimea debacle saying that it was a shame that obama gave up crimea now to remind the viewers of what happened in crimea back in twenty fourteen a referendum was held with international observers present and ninety seven percent of the population voted to secede from ukraine and join russia the west refuse to recognize this plebiscite and then impose sanctions on russia and then separate

ones on crimea but just this week we also heard from another u.s. official john bolton who said that trump wouldn't recognize crimea as part of russia so conflicting views coming from the trump administration which seems like basic protocol at this point but these statements come a few weeks before trump's summit with putin that's scheduled for july sixteenth in helsinki finland but this isn't the first time that trump has discussed relations with russia during the g. seven summit trump said that russia should be reinstated let's check out what he said i would rather see russia in the g. eight as opposed to the i would say that the g eight is a more meaningful group than the g seven absolutely trump also said that he'd be discussing a range of other issues with president putin including alleged election interference syria ukraine relations with china and russia to possibly deescalate the conflicts

going on in the world but until july sixteenth we will know exactly what happened so we'll just have to wait until then. but it's not just crimea causing friction between russia and the west for example sanctions and the script poisoning have also soured ties russia's foreign minister touched on these issues and an interview with britain's channel four news. can. give any assurances that the upcoming midterm elections if you know it's time will not be meddled with by the press or something because we kill. their children to discover something which is based on highly unlikely. might be. the best a geisha in the united states has been going for a problem to europe because no. damage to the internet research the rush to troll factory is a thirty second video in that is something which requires

a thorough and they're just. submitted their old case and their chips which quite a number of things which were used for the so let's not jump the gun. it was loose carol but i don't see that the logic of the who said sentence forced verdict later i don't think this logic is going to prevent this whole russia election meddling hysteria according to sergei lavrov is a prime example of a new and trendy mentality kind of act still stand figure out later with the investigation into the russian interference in the us presidential elections still ongoing and in his opinion in opinion this approach prevails on the global geo political scene right now and they've even led to this quite peculiar exchange between him and the journalist. there are many in the west who say that the chaos whether it spreads it whether it's cause whether it's from the white house

a book at all and that i would not only if i believe in psychics and therefore good for skeptical actions in sweden that the brotherhood is also into that later but the chaos are good ones and also me this does the chaos benefit russia as some in the west said. you have to be within the. historical free. for the logical for a. human because goodness it's russian government weeks before the presidential elections and the months before the world cup what it will do use it from alleged chemical attacks in syria to big u.s. elections i mean geographically wise sic users have found russia's fingerprints well pretty much all over the world standing out of those cases they always the case of this crippled poisoning back in march if you don't remember. a former double agent for the u.k.

and his daughter were found poisoned apparently by a very powerful nerve agent in the u.k. city of the sales berry and the u.k. is adamant russia did it. using the british state of the coverup of this whole incident i don't exclude this and as long as they don't give us information you know that about the russian citizen citizens who have died in london during the posters all the altered cases have been investigated in the secret form we don't understand why. the united kingdom because of the political gain from what is going on it's an interesting situation whereby the country which is leaving the european union has determined the european union policy with rush when they were ready for all you know look at also of the european union say you must expose the russians diplomats you must expel them so they did most of them some do now again official london has been maintaining that it was only moscow we

had both motive and means to carry out a poisoning like this one when it comes to a more generic story line of the interview sergey lavrov also has stressed that in his opinion we are already living in what he calls a post to west to work and as for russia's role in this post west world he says that more school plans to play a role on equal parts an equal role with other players in this whole thing so when it comes to some predictions for the future for some forecasting there you have it . that's our wrap up today's top stories and your world cup updates for this hour but i'll be back in about thirty minutes with. generally speaking mr trump's unilateralists notably the unilateralism which we saw with regards to iran which we also saw with regards to the paris agreement

regarding climate change which we saw with regards to the american embassy in jerusalem all these he lateral decisions i challenge from my point of view the quality of our transatlantic relations. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just a lawyer hiccup what if i mean you know his book that he would put him in the news that i'm scrolling you know to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took part in this today over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these another call that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic.

donors now no matter how they're really done you're going to. welcome a comedy show where americans in america covering american news are called born agents and we're not going to be here till well know the corporatocracy is steadily tightening its grasp the insanely wealthy get richer every dag and the poor get exploited more and more sixty three percent of americans can't afford of five hundred dollars emergency you know on the other end of the spectrum the rear end of the spectrum if you will and you should remember don it had just raised nose is now worth the record one hundred and forty one billion.
