it's southgate might be looking to someone else and but then you know if you look at how the whole performance over the five games has been sort of projected it's been a success so you might be reluctant to change anything just carry on playing with the same starting eleven ok well as we've talked about the funds are coming in probably the biggest much of the long time for most of them from the real veteran supporters let's have a look at first of all creation fans they've been in the now famous nicole strait and they've been going to time. there oh. how i don't know about the two of them in the underdog every play good soccer i think it's a psychological pressure owning them team because they have favorites so we don't have nothing to lose. yeah i'm a big big game for

a crazy second semifinal in twenty years and for england it's at that semifinal in major tournaments and yeah. could anyone predict this and you predicted it. in a million years i'm fascinated to see what just really has to say about it yeah because josie of course has been predicting every game for us and let's just hear what his prediction for this game tonight in. england is fresher has younger players had easy group face. where they play a true easy match is. the match against belgium they change every player so the players that are playing now they they all had one match less than croatia to play because they didn't play against belgium and the majority of the

players. are young feats players when i look to the team i think ashley young said three years old just today or yesterday something like that and part of that the players are all very young and between england and croatia i think croatia has a great mentality. a fantastic midfield player to control the game in the possession of the game but then when these. is a happy team. you go from the horse's mouth you heard from those who are moving i think you've got a really valid point and i know i kind of dismissed that when we watch the game in such a about. you know croatia having to go through yet another game of one hundred twenty minutes plus a penalty shoot out and does that affect you it effects you of course but it is the same in front of the world and you can find the strength and the energy that is needed to play this game but his point there is the belgium game which i didn't

take into account when england played belgium belgium made the nineteenth and then made a changes so in many ways most of the players that are playing tonight will not have played on the same things as croatia players as a player literally the same thing being done my just be a fact if it goes into extra time the last five ten minutes of that could just be that moment where mine did rest quite a lot of plays in the against iceland and only three subs but a lot of quality to bring good. people can get up for the big game now. no matter how tired i was no matter how tired if the game was so big i could feel the tiredness you always find away when you know of course you play certain games throughout the whole season where you are so tired and your motivation is not at the point it's supposed to be then you hope that your teammates will carry you

through and if you play good teams more often than not that's happening but when you play a game of this magnitude it is a semifinal of the world. stakes a final in the world cup against france i mean you can find and if you can play that with one leg yeah as you said. after the match of course i mentioned a lot more english fans coming out just over three thousand for the last match against sweden looking about three times in the area of ten thousand coming to the . negative reports in the media that. hopefully now they hit behave. with a few of them that's what it's been like for the. league. oh yeah.

i think. the people absolutely love it. it's been some. talk about. the english and the poisoning and you know. what were the things that you were hearing about russia . saying. like it's like it's like stereo really got to meet my space ever. you know it's true let's get back pressure. but once people realize. hey this is not the types there were out there with we're going to pledge we want to go vanna well enjoy it as well tonight with i think what he said i know she's i want to come over.

but you know we speak to pretty much every time you see them up to the guy says well you remember the case with. debbie rowe when i gave my numbers astounding not to come to russia because it also raises some like that having been here we can't have anything to say about it yeah i mean whatever we said before it's completely been i followed by my experience and this week we had absolutely no problem and no trouble. people imagine fantastic the food has been great the basement great you know the fords coming back to get another one thank you russian spy posse spouse about. you still the timing and funds coming not to russia is coming are coming and. they have to play really well for that to come home and of course there are still

a long way to go you got to get through this semifinal against khorasan into the final against france france won that game last night one no they played the belgian and we thought belgium where the favorites but my god what a performance by france and what a performance by that goalkeeper who lurie's i thought he was he was fantastic last night and i just pick one save out that i want to show you that i for me i think with absolutely key and he came in the first half. i fall and i was actually not i was a little bit later in the game. that's not just a yes it's a wrong face here yeah but this was a really chase and again it's a little hard drive from outside what do you think about his decision to kind of parry down the way. we've seen this quite a lot now we see the ball it does swerve a little bit it moves a little bit and i think now and the way that football the actual football

technology. is is in that direction it's been heading it's been heading there for a while routine more and more goalkeepers just making sure that the ball doesn't go that way but away from the goal and only if you were one hundred percent certain that they will catch the ball but you know bring the highlight of the bets is even that's a safe. bet you that i promise so what yesterday was it was superb first of all the whole tactical set up playing against players who. have just been playing so well. and we had another proof of that yesterday when i thought it was was by far the best outfield player on the page he was really in the mood and did have some chances himself he did provide other players with chances but i think lukaku was a little bit off yesterday maybe you know two one two percent didn't really get you know the cho in exactly where that so it was supposed to be and i'm not saying that

he played bad because no one played bad yesterday was a great game of football to watch but you know in that little one percent you need to score goals was in there and you you kind of sat with the feeling that the way that that very valid and they played in front of lewis they were not going to break them down they were not going to school friends said hansei break down very solid defense both keepers in sensational form and he was kind of hard to see where the goal was going to come from then when it came calling felt anybody on this but this just happens so often. in these tiger games it's one that aca. concentration on the chronic pain from t.d. gets a free run i mean you can question and i will do that any day of the week having been a defender myself you can quick question the idea of mocking in zones on politics because someone like ninety two scores a year when he gets a run to a ball he will always jump higher than someone who's static and this is what i

picked i know the director of the game yesterday focused on fellaini like he was involved in some way or he didn't get to the ball on maybe he had a litany of his hands but for lamey this was it was zonal marking the from the area and and you know he has got no chance if someone can run from behind and jump even though you have great toll jumping guy until a nice offense just ahead of you credit is a great defenders well that's no chance you will not get to that ball. and that's how you break the deadlock in a game like that one little mistake and it was basically the only mistake in the game and it wasn't even a mistake it's just an expert this exploration of a moment where the concentration wasn't one hundred percent and a great goal by m.t.t. and his celebrations were quite funny to say that i don't know that man but you know he celebrations if he scores again we'll have to find out without meaning

behind the story and you need to hide that celebration he walked a little bit funny then he did. and you thinking what anyway we will find out if it happens again if he scores in the final and the funny thing about m.t.t. is a he's been giving penalty a penalty away he's not really been that great he's been ok but he's not really been so i don't know isn't it if you do something like this no one remembers the mistakes and now he is a french hero absolutely and i thought the france deservedly got through to the final i've said this france were very not average but they did only what they had to do in that group they beat australia first then they feed peru and then they do . that was planted to win the group and then they stepped it up against argentina what a game they played in that and from that i remember a pop at the way he played and from there on i think france over the next one and i consider them now to be the favorites to win. the world cup that's how good i think they are. don't think too many people would disagree with especially now that they

got their position already but first an extra day of rest of the face though that's what we're going to be discussing all throughout the day in the build up to the big match nine pm moscow time the luzhniki analysis continues joiners. here goes back she just about forty minutes or so for more thoughts on that big clash coming up later now back to the news of the day at twenty two minutes past eleven the morning here in moscow they want trump and nato allies are in brussels at the blog summit right now trading barbs indeed the u.s. presence demanding that member states spend more on defense he's already lambasted germany too for being virtually as he put it a financial hostage of russia over gas and oil supplies. germany is

a captive as they slowly think. they're getting so much of the world and yes from russia i think there's something to look at the thing is very inappropriate they pay billions of dollars to russia and now we have to defend them against russia explain that to me. rose to you but a background here earlier this year germany approved construction of the nord stream to project which would transport natural gas from russia to germany through the baltic sea peter all of a next to europe correspondent investigates what else stands between nato members as nato leaders come together in brussels the alliance seems more disunited then ever to start with the most influential member of the block is it odds with its partners and the money. or when i'm going to tell you get to see paying your bills the united states. for years nato has been

a club where the majority of members don't pay what they should including key allies and europe's biggest economies like germany which is way off the pace in fact against the nato secretary general has said that only seven out of the twenty seven year repeat in nato members a living up to the two percent of g.d.p. that they're supposed to contribute it was agreed on to expect it to spend at least two percent of g.d.p. on defense to see it more over european partners a considered a defense force of their own outside of nato on the beginning of the next europe must have a common force of intervention a common defense budget and a common doctrine. then there's what to do about russia chancellor angela merkel wants to focus more on what she sees as a threat posed by moscow while donald trump wants closer ties with russia he's

heading off for a meeting with vladimir. in just a week after sitting down with these nato buddies that's bigger that that's true and we have to focus more on defending the alliance and in order to do that we have to make necessary arrangements for example through a presence in central and eastern european countries you know what. the nato secretary general it seems isn't too concerned about disagreements between leaders believe see in what we call the dual track approach of russia combining defense with dialogue we don't want a new cold war we don't want a new york show as russia so a neighbor rushed it to state but that can't gloss over some fairly naked barbs coming from europe directed at the united states the president. does not target. and europe america appreciate your allies

after all you don't have that many. with so much dissatisfaction within the alliance it does beg the question just how relevant is nato in today's world i don't think that nato was ever designed to ensure global security i don't think that was ever part of the original mission but once the cold war ended nato has been seeking its mission ever since there was nothing left to do really after the end of the cold war think there is more of a feeling of threat again that nato led by the u.s. is increasing the tensions not beating two more security. with midterm elections in the u.s. two in november it seems is some of taken a do approach when trying to appeal to voters is colored smoke at the upcoming midterm congressional elections or certainly a crucial political of that but there's way more to it than you think it courting to nancy pelosi the minority leader on capitol hill civilization as we know today

is a to risk in this election we have to win we have to win civilization at risk goodness that sounds quite serious now she's not the only one to think that the upcoming elections are an existential importance and no less if you one of these folks who is watching cable news you know cocktail parties with your friends and you saying civilization is collapsing and you're nervous and worried but that is not where you personally are time energy and money than either you don't actually think civilization is collapsing or you're not pushing yourself hard enough and i would push harder the time for a diagnosis is over it is cancer midterms are america's last chance at remission register to vote we can beat this disease now filmmaker michael moore is urging the liberal rank and file to see is the moment what are we willing to commit to what would you give your life for what would you be willing to do to actually put yourself on the line for that moment is now we are going to lose. our democracy if

we haven't already we have no choice my friends we all have to rise up so is the future of human civilization really at risk at the november polling place we decided to ask people here in new york city i would say so yes possibly the fate of american civilization at stake i think. civilization is well i don't know i think it's a little over the top now or not at all they were said kim jong un was going to blow up the world a couple i know how many months ago there hyperventilating they do this all the time why would nancy pelosi say that. now it's hard to tell if ordinary americans are is fired up as their t.v. screens and political leaders would like them to be let's not forget the vote is still months away and the hysteria will probably escalate and pick up steam cable mop and r.t. new york but without thought kevin go in there

a couple of the top stories small th q so far this wednesday but of course football sidelining to. neil harvey in thirty. c. and have a great wednesday. time after time going underground as britain wonders if it's coming home more than it wonders whether the u.k. is leaving the european union coming up on the show on the eve of u.s. president donald trump landing in brooklyn one of his transition team dr john to help by hayes tells us about the future of the so-called special relationship part of blood as nato leaders meet in their new billion dollar brussels h.q. we speak to about her award winning director who edited hundreds of our was a film of nato's enemies to humanize them from the headlines the foreign secretary

who spawned of sitting on. offense under breck's attack a trait respond of fighting discrimination against man dollars or more coming up in today's going underground but first ahead of next week's donald trump glad to be a putin summit in finland the u.s. president on tourism a joint of the nato leaders in brussels today trump is previously voice doubts about nato currently at war from africa to asia doesn't cover terrorism ok it covers a soviet union which is no longer in existence anyone thinking the u.s. as ambassador to nato has ever called president trump to put him right will also be disappointed by this revelation in the buzz few days you know i have not called president trump ever presumably the e-mail because recent nato wars have not arguably gone too well tens of millions have been killed wounded or displaced and if anyone is in any doubt that nato is a political project here is nato has previously to comparing u.k.

labor leader jeremy corbyn to vladimir putin needs to call been said that nato should give up. go home go away and almost word by word that's the message i received from president putin who was then the prime minister seven years ago so there is no doubt that they effed mr korb he were to be lactate prime minister of the u.k. there would be a big break cerebration in the kremlin mind you that foreign agent leader lumps corbin in with trump not surprising arguably given trump's apparent criticism of article five of the nato treaty on nato alliance mutual protection this was trump before he flew to brussels i see nato and i'm going to tell nato you got to set paying your bills united states. anywhere from seventy percent to protect your. and that's fine of course they kill

us or train they kill a sort of other things to make it impossible to do business in europe yet they come into they sell their mercedes and that b.m.w. to us so we have one hundred fifty one billion dollars in trade deficits with. and on top of that they tell us what they know well joining me now is one of team trump advisers john help by hey john thanks for coming back on so will donald trump get the nato leaders to stump up the cash for funding of the organization well kate bailey hutchinson who is our ambassador to the e.u. has said that they're starting to but you know to criticize trump as if he's the first one in nine hundred ninety four congressman bernie franks actually had an amendment to get rid of nato when i somehow or finish his term as president he made

the comment and he served he's basically the founder of nato he said you know the europeans are just sucking the u.s. and defense secretary cohen under clinton said nato is a relic of history so there are other people who have really been raising it but with donald trump you are going to see people put up they're going to pay you know the president was if they believe donald trump when he says what he's saying but not. why do they believe trump because. for all of how trump carries on and what they might not like about his behavior or anything he delivers on his promises those are goals those are objectives and those happen ok well that's very arguable and presumably. the there is no imminent leaving of nature but i want to talk about trump's opposition to one war of terror

another financed by u.s. taxpayers of yes disproportionately libya syria do you think he's going to continue to be very different to obama when it comes to more foreign wars i mean in afghanistan even as he dropped to a terrible bomb but then didn't commit to more troops on the ground i don't think trump had intention other than a one off he's done to one offs does he want to bring the p.r. our troops home and that's what he would really like to do in every bit of trump having to pay for other countries when he knows there are so many issues that he wants to use the money for. yeah i think that we are very unlikely to join any more wars it's all very well you just said about bringing the troops home do you think all it is advisors are on side about this this is what i try to explain to people trump is consistently inconsistent and he is predictably unpredictable

any warns you that he be that way but people freak out i read that they are assuming that he's going to distort only give in to putin you know what what is trump concerned about he's concerned about syria he really would like russia to not be supporting syria i did of course will continue to do it as a military base that you're asking what is he going to be concerned about with putin and what is he going to raise i don't know if he is going to raise the quote unquote russian collusion. so far mueller hasn't found anything i am we're twenty we don't know yet but we do know as regards your consistent inconsistency that trump is throwing up more russian diplomats than so many of his previous as is so on the one hand he wants to talk about peace and adorned with budget at the on the other hand he wants to throw out all of russia's diplomat ok no no that that.

that gets into a fake news without the context what happened was there were there were sanctions put on them other countries put sanctions on trump ended up ticked off with his staff when he realized he threw more russian diplomats out than the other countries that is the crux of that where he didn't know you know we didn't know. ok well the nato does appear to be scaling up in preparations for more economic war with north korea it has been before and we've heard and then trump goes along with this peace plan where where is that right now how do you think nato leaders are going to treat him given that he's tried to seek peace in korea you know what. i don't usually make arrogant comments about the u.s. because i don't really feel that way but europe is pretty dependent on us for their

defense if they want to slight trump. it will be at their cost and it won't be at the u.s. cost some would say that the fact that. people like donald tusk in the european union can dare to insult a defense financier of this going to that is that they know there are people around in and around the trumpet ministration who are inside the administration working against the president there is less and less and less about actually i can't wait for paul ryan to go he is a pretend trump or i can't wait for the midterms but i kind of well actually i met within the administration in the bureaucracy as it were when you mention the u.s. ambassador to nato she's on the record as saying she's never phoned donald trump is it a good relationship there with the u.s. ambassador to nato you know she was just she was appointed last summer it's not really been a big issue. and she'll be playing

a big role this week it's going to so i'm sure that they've had strategy meetings i mean what people don't understand about donald trump because he's such a man of action and focuses on problem solving he can't be too bothered with things that are going to be a month down the line he wants to know what he has to deal with now how he's going to deal with it and how it's going to have an impact positively do you think given the talk about his visit to london has been all about the hatred for him personally to resume in just after the big resignations was talking about the importance of the trans-pacific partnership to t v p what is donald trump's position on that he signed an executive order against it yes yeah the why do you think europeans are talking about really wanting. to talk to him about tb well it's going to fall upon deaf ears i mean he wants bilateral agreements he's not going to agree to that but you know speaking of theresa may how two years she's wasted two years trying to

negotiate on this bricks and stuff then she's had to resignations how do you expect the four key people in her cabinet who are all remain ors to. craft anything or negotiate anything when it's not what they believe and and trumps people fully aware of o.e. completely in london i mean in fairness to tourism a the tourism me at least doesn't want a war with iran the big accusation against drug is that john once full scale war with one of the super bowls of the middle east oh oh he does not in fact it is so opposite to that he's putting so much pressure on saudi arabia and a few other countries that they need to step up and take care of their region he said that. as a nuclear power it's important to talk to russia. why do you think colin's ages actively fear that donald trump will get on without him in person i think part of

it is that they viewed putin as an enemy and how dare you take him out of being an enemy because if he's not an enemy who's going to be an enemy and you know i think it's utterly ridiculous. and why not why is the goal not for quote unquote world peace we're not going to ever have complete peace but really we're better to work with russia as an ally than as an enemy that we constantly have to look over our shoulder at you know what the united states does have a big military budget the biggest military budget in the world want a peace dividend threaten the u.s. military industrial complex to speak of eyes now i read that the e.u. is trying to put their own force together separate from nato good let them do it and then they'll realize how much help we gave how they were able to use their money for great social programs and to take care of their people.
