that is the climax of a month long festival of football here in russia as france and croatia ready for the world cup final in moscow we've got all the highlights coming up. among the week's top stories to donald trump rushes nato allies for more money in brussels they're neds to the u.k. on his first official visit as u.s. president calling controversy being met with protests we have reset for two and also. israeli military launched its largest air campaign against gaza since twenty fourteen getting dozens of hamas facilities. for good morning from moscow it's just tonight i am here this sunday mornings kevin i can stay with me if you can for a roundup of the big news stories of the last seven days but of course this weekend

here in russia it's football topping the bills so over to our start team take us through the best of what we witnessed saturday and looking ahead to the massive final later this evening between france and croatia. thank god it was. god. god man told. god thank god he can't.

follow that welcome back to manchester with me on tree farm and also joe you say reading i demand you know i think he's been watching not much said we've just taken pipes belgian securing the best ever finish out of world cup finals been feeling even for sale they were saying at half time we were hoping things would get better and in the end it turned out to be quite a night just the result was not the result that england. wants but the performance was much better the game was bad was want to game of a sort of fourth place without any kind of pressure in the end england was was dominant and had the best chance to score but. as our talent. made it for them and to neil and looking to the match probably within one second

all of. them these are for the extra time but talking to the performance as an. results in the globality of the world cup a single jim deserves to be sort of south end for england i feel just as a fan really because of boston certainly against colombia the penalties it was great drama that night you know we got rid of that voodoo penalty shootout at the world cup and i just feel a bit yeah i think as i think he's the feeling is the feeling because as i was saying before the team that this is the serve than the fourth goes home after two defeats and the feeling is not good but you go home with the feeling of i almost touch the sky and now i go home after two defeats with no medal and the saying i think. what england brings clearly home is. a

team with a future wouldn't be risking a lot if i say that in the next world cup in in forty years time england has conditions so the better. it's another beautiful day we're going to miss the days when the world cup has gone the biggest football of english is the same it's been an emotional roller coaster and for supposing for the fans crazy game on sunday for the say that is sky high let's talk about the fans because the fans it's what that's what makes that the world cup for me and for many others as well so many of them that visit to russia win or lose it's really been a trip i'm never forget i think it was probably a pretty good atmosphere in the found zone near the st petersburg stadium russia's georgian capital is saying goodbye to the world cup but i'll tell you what was special after the game that just finished there whenever i saw people coming out they were all walking towards me with smiles on their faces and it didn't matter whether they were cheering for belgium or england i think it was

a big game compared to the earlier game they had the one zero win it was just i think it was a more exciting game here when i'm very proud of the players i think it's been a fun toss a tournament obviously the result was not what we wanted today but from this of the learning going to grow now we're going to get better gas. we just don't wish it would just. be absolutely fantastic with us. to worse my friends. thank you this year's final it's a repeat of a classic semi from back in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight another case in france from now to one witness that was on home soil and he seems gracious point let it go even after twenty years with the memory french defend millions around the equalizing then giving france the lead still holding that they even wanted to double. that he'd surround would be playing with a posted a message on twitter the front's national scene then responded on twitter asking

curation if they would leave their former star striker at the first team says that they're looking forward to what they hope is and they're willing finally as we all are joined as an obvious top studio today as well as didier drogba who we saw having a little heart felt moments with a movie you were one of the best manages of the modern era because of what you say because we're about to go live to him in manchester in a moment. a message back. i gave in. the biggest opportunity of his career to change from marcell to to the premier league so i gave him something very important but he gave me his sweat and his bloods every minute he was on the pitch for me so puppies puppy and my kid is my kid in spite of he looks older than me. going to say anything

ok good stuff. i hope i've got my history running scored in the champions league final yeah yeah you insist you'll be a plane is again by me yeah ask the manager and that that's should be basic knowledge. that the school your country's first ever goal in the world cup but i'd rather see how do those competitors me this is how you get as a footballer how does it compare to the sensation storing the first ever go of your country in a world where. we're losing to a new so i didn't really think about it but later when you do you realize that you've been the first player from my record for that's going to work for you you see for yourself i think it's it's quite an achievement you know to make the story for a small country like like ivory coast to be daring to speak competition on these big teams. there's a lot to be thought of. football is for dream the life is for dream and dream come

true and of course all creation is exciting all people around the world from california to australia a lot of variation communities outside of creation and we really enjoy and you played against us you could be ten monkey to get to the last penalties over one hundred twenty minutes next game also hundred twenty minutes against russia and win a on the pounds and then again here in the in moscow one hundred twenty one what's the mood what's the feeling in the can now my player says tired but should we i feel same one thousand eight hundred nine one trance we don't know each day when i signed out or a good day today i don't know it's brains the side of it is the market opened my eyes that is close looking toward the day i don't go slow. it's been absolute pleasure to be here the the of the country is welcome the world and the people are fantastic they're going as a show has been absolutely top shelf but they've set the bar pretty high for future hosts. and it's a it's really been

a real. great life experience you know my son both experiences and the stuff latex the box and and my hats off to you know the russian people in the russian organization then being you know as a present for you know said the best world cup i ever know it's very difficult to argue with both gratian and french fans have been really making themselves heard during this well company put away it's found all the loudest on the crowd if it was done i think finding out was was was was was a mind if we take turns now yes with a gray shirt then front right let's make the teams a chance great shot this side and says bronze they're still ok it's one thing about three months. let's go was god was the us was who do you see was

the over the was the one that was an impressive performance by the grace insipid limosine one special so many of the french side has prepared for us they're already sitting down so it must be something special he's out there saying to shut up was her shot was. was so far. we had a team after this world coco there has you know just made a sensation at the previous year olds i'm talking about iceland but they were to give us a great gift over who was. oh croatia front. load.

yeah who indeed let a matter of hours we'll get to know who is going to take the championship in maine price is going to be the frog so croatia we'd only guess at the emotions the players are going through right now but one photographer got a real close up idea of it join the semifinal match with croatia. so keep. in mind you could score the second go round the corner and i saw him

heading towards me i grabbed my second camera which was just a way to get the players started running to move closer and i had to lean back because they were right about me players are right and started piling up and i fell down but i managed to keep the camera and get these unique shows although i was under a pyramid of play. so as anticipation builds ahead of the final we'd like to take a moment now to show you some of the best moments from this football extravaganza here's how the success of the russian football team inspired all nations.

thank you. thank.

you thank you. thank. you. michael showed no photo of him checked out with the russian coach. but could not they both play for the national youth t was and then of course they met once again in our moscow studio.

i played for many years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money. and spending to the twenty million. it's an experience like you know. because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy great so well.

but the football bit lights have put let's check out some of the big news stories in the last seven days amongst them israel is most devastating as strikes against hamas militants in twenty fourteen forty military facilities were targeted across gaza the raids began early on saturday in response to bomb laden kites that were being flown into israel israeli defense forces then stepped up the operation after hamas fired rockets over the border to the violence has reportedly left twelve palestinians and three israelis wounded in code reason gaza for us. i am now fifty meters away from the last target the israeli forces targeted with four airstrikes

and as you see this playground is more of a picnic people and families play here where this building was targeted with the floor and strikes israeli claims that this building was used to train hamas fighters and the palestinians claim that this is a place in the middle of the city where palestinian families come here as a picnic and this place is on daily bases filled with children and families and as you see there's a mosque right next to this building where all of the all the buildings next to this building are severely damaged there are a lot of airstrikes still going and we just heard another huge explosion. it's as collating tell now there are no information about any as these prior agreements to believe me

a member of the candidates it stated that there are going to continue targeting and attacking gaza strip but they're not willing to occupy gaza strip. donald trump touched down in brussels for a nato summit this week and judging by the fallout since he's ruffled pretty much a lot of feathers on the way to. the nato want to tell nato you got to start paying your bills united states. thank you. dear president trump america does not target. turf in europe the america appreciate your allies after all you don't have the money you have a lot of. we should say says. thank you. five. hundred forty nine to members of. we disciplined two percent of the g.d.p. on defense by two thousand and twenty four but as it stands at the moment only five states are anywhere near reaching that that's greece stonier the u.k.

poland and romania political activist david swanson told us america's allies are showing great patience though he thinks in the face of traumas coercion when president trump says you spend more on weapons and more on nato or nato will scale back and nato will pull out and nato won't be here that the correct answer from europe is yes please thank you get out this is not a european invention this is a tool of us domination when donald trump was shocked by how many u.s. troops there were in germany the answer from germany and from nato and from the world should have been to get them out get them out of germany meanwhile now he knows that germany is still occupied by tens of thousands of u.s. troops for the past seventy years and claims that germany is is a servant and controlled by russia i mean it don't try to make sense of it it doesn't make sense we've you know we've we've got to drop back into price. i guess

just mentioned double troubles took a swipe over a major gas pipeline bound for germany they. say when germany makes a mess of oil and gas deal with russia. you're supposed to be guarding against russia goes out and pays its a year to russia so we're protecting germany were protecting france would take all of these questions and numerous of the countries go out and make a pipeline deal with russia where they think it is of dollars into the coffers of russian pipeline project trump was talking about there's the nord stream to project it planned to be a direct gas supply route from russia to germany that will run under the baltic sea it's come under fire from washington on many occasions at the nato summit this last week donald trump who even went so far as to say germany had effectively lost its sovereignty because of our pipeline project russian foreign minister sergey lavrov

commented on the remarks how did you react when when president trump said that germany is totally controlled by russia i can only quote what the president. when he was asked whether president putin these hues in the me or his friend who said he is a competitor a strong competitor but speaking of competition i always believe free competition because free market is about fear competition and when the united states circus where you're from the region is the period said there would be north stream pipeline must be stopped and those european countries whose companies would be participating in this project would be sanctioned by the united states because because the united states use for competition russian to repair we would guess is supposed to be war standards are more critical miry congress then i'm all for this story but this is not because i mean this is not competition this is

a pure ideology after brussels terms next stop was the u.k. at his first official visit to the u.s. president were against the of looks if the country special relationship has stood the test of time these days. america and the u.k. have a special thing going special relationship they called it language culture values defense then came trump but surely he can't ruin it right the special relationship between the u.k. and the u.s. has been strong for many years and will have opportunity to talk about a possible future trading relationship really remember barack obama when he came around they couldn't get enough of him everyone wanted to shake his hand and get a picture what a swell guy. trump

just doesn't have the charm it seems where barber was greeted with cheers and applause trump gets protests and outrage even a giant trump baby balloon and americans being told to avoid drawing attention to themselves be aware of your surroundings and exercise caution and expect to live in the vicinity of large gatherings keep a low profile. one would imagine a special relationship would be a little friendlier but what do we know who to say hip in this explosive and politically divided age of ours but why they hate ok trump did slap britain and europe with painful tariffs and steal an island minium and mrs may

certainly wasn't happy about it expressed deep disappointment at the unjustified decision of the united states to apply terrorists to steal and i mean. it cannot be done by taking unilateral action against your partners then there was the whole iran mess so much effort years of work to get iran to verifiably stop pursuing nuclear weapons and then trump torpedoes it but come on you couldn't have been alone britain's always been there for the states donald trump undermined progress towards normalization of relationships with i have been very clear in a number of conversations with the president of the united states about the belief that the united kingdom the j.c.t. away the nuclear deal with iran then there's the. maze of government and strategy are in shambles she needs friends the back here and who better than the us

the people voted. to break it up so i would imagine that's what they'll do but maybe they're taking a little bit of a different route so i don't know that's what they voted for well that wasn't very helpful no trump did offer the u.k. a tariff free trade deal if it really did as the e.u. but goodness me this is very little it's special in this relationship side from how fast it's losing its specialness and on top of that trump being trump just had to rub salt in the wound i'm going to a few hot spots we have nato there we have the u.k. and then we have food. and i said putin may be the easiest of the more you never know but i'm going to a pretty hot spot right now right with the lot of reza lot of resignations problem on just nasty saying it's easier to talk to putin then to your allies

but there you go how's that for friends it's like the phrase goes with friends like these who needs enemies so what about the public well for many in the u.k. trauma's visit was welcome to say the least. i believe that the people in the u.k. scotland ireland i think that those people. they like me a lot. donald trump said he thinks he would like to be in the u.k. do you think that that wouldn't be enough and i don't know anybody that likes and i don't know anybody that wants him to come yeah we don't want to yeah it's not about by people in a row in a tory government the rest of the country got a body. that

. is our relationship terms are great the highest levels of special yesterday had breakfast lunch and dinner with the top an excellent discussion here something very special there was something something very special this incredible woman right here jesus a very smart very tough very capable person deepest and most defiant security cooperation special relationship i think the prime minister made for her partnership pressure relationship have a lot of respect for the prime minister for long tradition of friendship collaboration i think she's a terrific woman i think she's doing a terrific job i think on the public assistance to you know i think the deal that she's striking is not what the people voted on it was what the deal that was in the

referendum and you know they have a lot of work for the nation so a lot of people don't get them but it will definitely affect their trade with the united states unfortunately in a negative way and. didn't criticize the prime minister have a lot of respect for the prime minister for. fortunately we tend to record. stories now so we have it we are enjoying it we record when we do it. on friday the u.s. justice department charged twelve russians with hacking offenses as part of an investigation ongoing led by special counsel robert muller those charged is said to be members of russian military intelligence and they're accused of hacking democratic party e-mails in hillary clinton's presidential campaign however the justice department said this no evidence that the hacking influenced the outcome of the election while sco claims the announcement was time to cast a shadow of monday's summit coming up between presidents trump and putin and it's

not alone in his concerns as donald quarter explains was a mixed moment in u.s. history as the u.k. rolled out the red carpet for president trump officials back home indicted twelve russians for alleged election hacking but so far the f.b.i. hasn't had the best track record of looking at the hard facts of this investigation then did the d.n.c. provide access for to the f.b.i. for your you're a technical folks to review what happened. we never got direct access to the machines themselves instead they've been taking all of their information from a third party crowd strike cyber security was the company hired by the d.n.c. to look into suspected hacking of its systems but the thing is the d.n.c. never granted the f.b.i. direct access to its physical servers and that's raised questions over the thoroughness of the investigation you did see never turn the server over to law

enforcement if you're investigating either from a law enforcement or from an intelligence standpoint that hacking by foreign hostile government would you want the server wouldn't that help you number one to who the attacker was if they had turned the server over to either you or director komi maybe you would have no more so i guess what i'm asking you is why would the victim of a crime not turn over a server to the intelligence community or to law enforcement but that's not the only strange part of the whole situation the f.b.i. claims that those indicted are russian intelligence officers which means there's almost no chance they'd come to the u.s. for a trial with no one to defend them it seems almost like an assured victory for mahler one that leaves many questions still unanswered it looks to me as if our f.b.i. our department just.
