so quickly and i just remember like for weeks ago i was standing on the very same spot saying that you know the world cup is opening the moment the world the waiting for the last eight years now it's the final stage game sixty four against france the atmosphere here is building up nicely i would say maybe slight dominance on the gratian fans a lot of checkered yellow white and red shirts all over but obviously the fans of france are in full voice as well now before this final the president gratian who we are expected to be in the stands tonight issued a very heartfelt thank you to russia for hosting this world cup and obviously she's a happy woman her team is in the final let's listen to that. you. think. you have. to be on the. guy. like me by. my god yes. if.

former world player of the year of course and a member of brazil's two thousand and two world cup winning team out our special rooftop studio. i think it's very good tournament very competitive how do you think brazil has played in-store i think brazil played very very good of course for us brazilian when you know achieved in the final four we. you feel. for me i think brazil did everything that they could so as a coach. increases the change to brazil to win the players was committed so i think brazil did a good tournaments and i guess belgian we watch it very very good game with their high level technique tactics was unbelievable i think both did a very good strategy in the end it's it's the game i was i won one person i must talk about because he's

a colorful character let's say is name and people have lots of opinions about neymar how he is world's most expensive footballer what city what's he like what's he really not what do brazilians think of name well i love him because i think he's one of the best players in the world but right now of course he's just twenty six a lot of pressure a lot of things on his back but i think as a twenty six year old guy think he's he's ok he's good for what. responsibility that his but right now and of course he's going to mature he he has a lot of things to to grow and to increase but for us as a brazilian we love him and he's one of the best players that we have will be emir of qatar to mean been a tourney is also in moscow where he recently took part in the certainty of the world cup. qatar won the bid to host the twenty twenty two world cup eight years ago alongside russia. handed over the world cup ball in the presence of fee for

president giani in front. tourney expressed his aberration not the way russia had organized this tournament. mr president i would like to thank you and to congratulate you on my behalf and on behalf of all football fans on the successful world cup we hope to do the same in our country we did in the store notion i'm sure that our friends from qatar will deny the twenty twenty feet of world cup to the same high level and of course we are ready to share our experience with them. yes so just to recap kickoff is now. two hours away at moscow's luzhniki stadium so what better time to take a look back at how the tournament has inspired russia's national team and indeed the entire nation.

oh.

and memories made unshared night check this site for a van and now a bit of time travel r.t. world cup co-host peterson michael sharing an old photo of him with current russian ball stanislav church s off back in one thousand nine hundred eighty five they both played for their national youth teams on met once again in our moscow studio. dedicated fans from every corner of the globe made their way here to russia to see

their teams in action over the past month we followed a few of their journeys. oh that was low. low low low. low low. living in many a very. spicy. food also a little soft they think i want to focus on the value of their lives here but i keep

them open for the middle going woman goes but alan thought of that i found. a way you know if i get good things are going. to go. listen it's made me look like the dog that no such issues opposition does a complex that is guided by factual doubt nigeria keeps on all the. little of the western media build this on the t.v. about russia it's all false they try their best to make us you know feel at home in russia. these are something that often doesn't want to with the t.v. . even though this is the book.

club. camera. roughly once the show some move for the. uncool videos during the world cup and someone with the broccoli staring at. you down more on string i don't really don't t.v. but if you're standing in the middle of the street and someone reaches back in their back with a waistband the cop is not going to sit did give them the benefit of the doubt because people should be reaching in their waistband with cops having guns trained on the same police don't move.

this is the weekly review and away from the football for a while donald trump launched a series of barbed attacks on america's allies that nato summit in brussels this week leaving the military alliances diplomats stunt in particular the u.s. president assailed his counterparts for not spending enough on defense an issue that he repeatedly pledged to address. i'll see nato when i'm going to tell nato you got to set paying your bills united states. the president to amp america. and to win the turf

a lie then europe the america appreciate your life after all you don't have the money you have a lot of allies we cannot thank you this is your take is it five years. in twenty fourteen nato members agreed to spend two percent of g.d.p. on defense by twenty twenty four but only five states are anywhere near reaching beyond greece's stonie of the u.k. poland down romania donald trump now i want his allies to boost defense spending to four percent but the collectivist david swanson believes america's allies are showing great patience with the us president when president trump says you spend more on weapons and more on nato or nato will scale back in nato will pull out of 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 u.s. 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 yet they're not thinking 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 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 that enterprise yaz just mentioned trump also took a swipe at berlin over a major gas pipeline ban for germany. say when germany makes a mess of oil and gas deal with russia where you're supposed to be going against russia germany goes out and pays billions and billions of dollars a year to russia so we're protecting germany we're protecting france with the sake of all of these countries and numerous of the countries go out and make

a pipeline deal with russia where they think it is a valid state of the coffers of russia. so the pipeline project trump was talking about there is the nord stream to project its plan to be a direct gas supply route from russia to germany that will run into the baltic sea it's come under fire from washington on many occasions at the nato summit this week donald trump even went so far as to say germany had effectively lost its sovereignty because of the pipeline russian foreign minister sergey lavrov commented on those remarks i've always believed recomposition because free market is about through a competition and when the united states circles where you are from the region is the period so the north stream must be stalked 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 in russian with the repair we would use you supposed to be wars critical merely congress then i'm all for this story but this is not the core of the move this is not competition this is a pew i deal with. well after brussels donald trump's next stop was the u.k. for his first official visit there as u.s. president wrapped as the now examines if the country special relationship has stood the test of time. 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 we'll have opportunities 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 me 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 has undermined progress towards normalization of relations ships 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 should stay 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 though trump did offer the u.k. a tariff free trade deal if it really did as the e.u. but goodness me there's very little that special in this relationship aside 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 putin. 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 with a lot of reza lot of resignations problem on it's just not saying it's easier to talk to putin then you are allies but there you go how's that for friends it's like the phrase goes with friends like these who needs enemies or for some in the u.k. trump space it was not a welcome one 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'd like to be in the u.k. do you think that's true that didn't you know. 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 five people in there oh in a tory government the rest of the country got a body. give our relationship terms of grade the highest levels of special yesterday had breakfast lunch and dinner with the next new discussion here it's really something very special there was something something very special this incredible woman right here she's ace 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 flung tradition of friendship collaboration

i think she's a terrific woman i think she's doing a terrific job. i think to build it just like it is not with the people voted on it was not the deal that was in the referendum but now they have a lot of those are the issues so a lot of people. look at it on a definitely isn't there a trade with the united states unfortunately in a negative way and. i didn't criticize the prime minister have a lot of respect for the prime minister for. fortunately we tend to record. stories so we have it for your enjoyment that you'd like to quickly record when we do it through the news. i think there is a real problem at the moment and behind the scenes clearly diplomats from both sides to go around taking the place trying to reassure governments and the media to things are still ok between the two countries but i think it's very serious what

donald trump is absolutely without precedent of a u.s. president that such a well known hopeful interview with. the british prime minister and what's meant to be a special relationship. president trump is set to meet with vladimir putin in the finnish capital health on monday on what happened in brussels on the u.k. there are already rallies against the american leader. first down testimony from a former cop up by corruption in the florida police ranks next on our t.v. it's our continued coverage of the buildup to the biggest event in world sport the world cup final here in moscow ninety minutes away. dylan is sort of a mad crazy genius sort of

a guy he believes in the first amendment. marcus very brilliant very brilliant individual we've all heard of florida law how he will be difficult to get or certainly with the second grade. he has an opinion he doesn't hide his feelings. i think more to gain he's not standing for because he took on the most powerful agency in this county or you'll be nothing. but let's look at some of the billboard analogies to mark was the day that when he was fighting the life. it's a it's a family kind of thing we're still in iraq you know i mean it's. you know if something is shown to us we're going to.

play this just sort of. cause mark spoke out against pull up some on his shift but i didn't like very much absolutely have there been times when i really really really thought he was a great guy absolutely. john mark doogan i'm a former marine former cop turned whistleblower after my home was raided by american intelligence agencies i snuck out of the united states into russia where i obtained political asylum today still wanted by the american federal government. and then they know about it wolf.
