you don't want the pictures to remind you of who one you want don't really want them with this picture like it's been raining off you know in the way it is not involved at least it held off the left as a whole it held the i don't like cliche the bit of cooling rain because it's been very humid very sticky. brainwaves good players would have preferred to be to be in the rain when the game was on and now when all the pictures have been taken in the sunshine or in the not rain if you like so on the dry but you know it's there are great pictures in their own right i'm absolutely sure people are going to have a little bit of a smile on their face when they look back at them and in the years to come yes they are absolutely so one last cliche just for this one it's not going to dampen the spirits of the celebrations will be big in both of those countries and what about the celebrations have been like in some of russia so the host city has been a great atmosphere lots of russians enjoying this world cup and just picking a new team to support to the end after russia departed let's go to sochi to

hawkins's frizzy saudis in st petersburg let's continue first a set of nice and dry that what's it like to you being part of the anti team covering this world cup. you know it's been fantastic and luckily the still weather still holding up here in the northern capital it's beautiful it has wonderful weather all the way through and the football on the pitch has been fantastic and i think that final really really encapsulates the kind of tournament that we've had great individual performances fantastic goals even a few mistakes as some people would like to forget and our studio here in st petersburg it's been really a wonderful backdrop for what's been a great talk about a great personal experience for me i've managed to take him to pieces by the wonderful people here the culture the architecture everything about this city has really been welcoming to me i even brought my father. the out here was well to

spend the last week of the tournament with me such was the amazing atmosphere here and as well of course the fans who have come from all over the walls travel to watch this world cup which has been probably one of the greats this if not the greatest in history both on and off the pitch as well and we've seen fans from countries as wide as iran and morocco the first day we had egyptians here when they tend to call in russia the host nation we've had argentinians nigerians brazilians all of them coming with different colors and different vibes and energy and music and of course we have the belgians here as well yesterday we had them here for the first place play off we had them previously for the semi final as well. it's really been something which has been wonderful to see people from all over the world embracing this and the russians the locals also embrace in this town which one of course you is well neal you were here with me for

a few days don't you whole kids to see. lexie which have ski so many actually kind of almost about the names that are coming up here and really making some memories that we will cherish for life. so having an international kick about much of the reality that we got from the fans from all of the will. get this you. think it's. going to eat any. the best

place to go to question is take a look at one photographer is offering people the opportunity to take in the stunning views here on the rooftops you can see the city's bustling with the markets and everything. it's amazing that. so many. places it's a really beautiful city. elite. cool sale am. sure the. elite. the four people you can. see. right here the benes of the no.

illegal alien you. both. talk about. gadhafi. all you all saw both. of them on. edge. we never sang but i think. your analysis of the music t.v. is of the view is what you say. i hope so i think it's been insightful better than listening to me talk about a guy that's michelle thank you very much let's get it out all kinsey's and so she we heard him singing that we've seen in boston as well. one of the talents of you got down to baldly tell us how it's been being involved. in this case it's the

first time maybe the last time we'll see such a huge footballing extravaganza on russians. what an incredible month it's been just before going live oh saying to our producer how tartar feel how i miss going back home some oscar actually if on through on us i'm really going to miss this experience what an amazing experience it has been the weather here and saucy the rain really hasn't dampened the whole experience overall the stadium the fish stadium here behind me has seen some of the brightest matches of the whole tournament the goal but lands between spain and portugal last minute when it is between germany and sweden i was lucky enough to be at that game with my dad who also came to visit a rusher a very special experience that was for him. knocking portugal out and finally that game which had over one hundred forty million russians on the edge of their seats the country dared to dream for one week for one day for that hundred twenty minutes

and the host nation reached the quarter final before having their hearts broken by the croats who of course that they came second off the champions france without the fans there as you were saying neil this really wouldn't be the experience it was and for me interacting with those people that came from a far field is asia south america or australia or north america i visited multiple cities in russia from khazan to kaliningrad from sochi to st petersburg and they really embrace the country in the country embrace them they came despite all preconceived ideas all reservations all preconceptions about was shattered for this month and it's no use ration to say we heard it from the people president but you know the best world cup ever it's hard to understate really what an experience this has been for russia right thing for myself i've never quite seen such an atmosphere such a vibe. in the streets of moscow and other cities as well i don't think my colleagues have been along with what i have have either and even people born of great. in

russia they themselves have said that this has totally changed the mood in the atmosphere in russia in moscow in the various so cities for that month what a party has been one of them mazing experience what an amazing memory to take home and cherish for those thousands of fans for a lifetime this is the best of all reports from salty. it looks beautiful there in sochi many thanks dan hawkins is our correspondent over there what a picture and speaking of pictures you know looks beautiful i can see the fireworks yeah we can just see the fire from the least there in the distance and fireworks going up into what's now a pretty moody looking evening sky and it's just lighting things up brightening our lives just one last time it's been a real one month festival of football what better time than to look back at what we've experienced over the last thirty something days of our correspondents hitting all of the host cities and it's been quite

a lot of traveling involved it is the world's biggest country. i mean. i'm. i decided to familiarize fans of other national teams with russia's traditional head where of course. i know it's not yet you know different. oh that's the tricky stuff. like a natural you look like a natural. st petersburg it's all you believe one of the most

beautiful and picturesque cities in all of russia. it's called a hundred yards beyond us because it's long. and it meets the face. just i think the people getting to go with you should be book of stalin. and you will. so this is what leo messi will be seeing out of his hotel room it's the hotels that you're right here so there's a new rule on the wall but if you think that ends here follow me. so we go around the corner literally around the corner and there's another mural. that is messy arch rival for sharon i'll go and not only that but look i scored four goals can you beat that leo that's some way to inspire motivation with as big a star isn't it. never want to listen opportunity

for a stereotype to go to waste so while we're here initially told for these last sixteen rounds i'm here to fight you. oh well i know you're thinking guys on the ball you at the beach in order to get. a rush job find a tough thing on the train for books sixteen hours to get much sleep the only. day this place feels more like a book about a real perhaps let me show you why. this is a good one. is a good shot first shot to show we saw it coming we came in and we just found people to be. a friendly friendly stadium fantastic just fantastic taste focusrite.

well we've seen fireworks on the pitch let's listen for this is how they're kind of signaling the end of world cup twenty eight teams going out with a bang. beautiful saints one last time raw from what has been well many people are saying one of if not the best thing for football world cup and this is where we get to that moment now where we award. the highlights the bright spots of the children the places shown the brightest. lights let's start with the world cup winners france so they won the world cup i think this is my personal work by the way frazier once the people's award. they inspired us all and showed us that you can take people and get results but these awards are you the the common ones that always go through every tournament so the young player. of course it went to him

and particularly in the i think he was fantastic he was also a contender for the golden ball award which is the best player in the tournament that again very disturbing he got given to look a mark which even has a second and twenty his mind was so three very very good players in this tournament the golden boot award of course went to harry came in front of him and romelu lukaku and t.-bo of course walk out the golden glove. and can you guess what given the best goal. my personal favorite was the france fullback he just. could go in that. charlie against japan the last minute goal that i felt him through so again. the corner he rolled it out the ball. or got. passed even half way then pass it out

through to the right wing got a little awkward jumbo it over and over it was a great team the all in seven seconds and it was a very large kick that came in very decisively that market in the press corps i thought that was that was a piece of our podium finishes circa. crisis in a second and of course france finish first of all we didn't. let's just let's talk about russia because you know we have spoken about them for a few days let's not forget that it's not a big part they played in this competition we said before host nations it's important mighty well to keep the atmosphere strong and vibrant and i think you saw that in this world cup maybe more than ever before because the the kind of energy that it generated across the country it really lifted everybody and also it made more russian fans i think go on for the subsequent matches generated an interest in the competition i don't think this this world cup would have been so brilliant had

russia not played that well and what what russia also created they created again personalities stars in russia there are now china's largest tests is a mass of stuff you can pick and choose you can think i want that square to be named after me and it will be cherry suspended chairs exubera. people who went on the football pitch and worked on that did so well for the country inspired people to show people that there's a different way of doing things and i think and i experience the six months travelling here all the doubts that i was about first of all be good enough to host the world cup and get this through. the news good enough with people like coming here you know how will it be can our football team play all these things but washed away when the rush of the saudi arabia fight and from that moment on this was not just took off. ok i was the most experienced guy in the world cup of. i watched

them since one thousand nine hundred thirty four and a lot of them i've gone through a played one myself i've been broadcasting. but i cannot remember anything as enjoyable as being another when most of the timing on this place has been fantastic and everybody i know who works in the same kind of job that i was probably into or to russia with with all but we were told beforehand that it was dangerous to be here that it wasn't going to be good and stadiums were invading the fame thing we heard four years ago before we went to brazil all that turned out not to be true in fact everyone thing it's been bringing in a lot of the guys from us for a lot of guys just that they think the system with me for most players working for their very unique one hundred feet sound most of the stuff you have for you if you have enjoyed it there yeah but i think you have to just remember the high points and one of them from a was when russia went on tant of the tournament very following day they flew from sochi punk to moscow and then met up with thousands of russian fans in the fans on

here and then folder a flag that said we play for you and i think that was the key thing that the fans felt that the players were doing this with them that they were on this journey together and i'm sure that's the feeling that they'll be enjoying right now in france the french supporters in paris going crazy they feel that this was a win for them this was a report from our correspondent in paris show the davis king right after the final with. us so. i. think we shall i think. people just see we hear on the street waving flags that this is an amazing opportunity to experience something of a country love experience twenty years ago when funds for such stations and when they were. the will come out many people if they could win this championship going

very very soon. that it didn't take him and of course they've done it every stage of the way the fans being out in the streets and now they've been rewarded with this incredible moment this moment when they know they are now the champions in this weekend's is just the icing on the cake the first you say the national center me she influence and now the sunday the fifteenth and even i think it was an amazing game fronts as i didn't. i'm not i'm not the car spun it impersonally goodness oh this is going to be such a party in paris now and and you know we we have to say that frond really every day did he said but he munden i think you know when you look at all the squats when they have all the twenty three names of being put out you know trying to while want

to squat you look at brazil you think what is what they have spain with the same and also germany and you have to remember germany didn't finish first this time they nearly finished last min they really in past in south africa it's nothing that google didn't even make it through as world champions so. france did exactly what they had to do in that group they were in group c. with peru a strain of docu played australia first in the played through and then they played then and by the time they got to the denmark game and he played in moscow it was irrelevant you know they could win news they could draw they could do whatever they wanted they were still through and you know to have that kind of game is a luxury because your recipe last and then i have to say was seen as a play the next game and i think seeing the games i can feel i can a high scoring game that's seven goals and that's it was four three and it kind of shows that the wrong place for that game friends absolutely played them off the pocket. she lapses of concentration and. argentina i think they managed to scroll

and won an absolute fluke topcon a shot that no one could expect so this this is what that game had in that game we saw the excellence of kenny and the papa we saw the potential we saw something that we can look forward to in the next many many years i hope and it was it was kind of fitting that it was a not particular day because it was also the day where argentina and. portugal went out so for now though and messi left it's on and it was like he entered the stage and say here i am i am now the top guy and just before i said he was he was giving young player that's one of my very well if you say youngest player to score and he was occurring today brilliant every time he was near the ball the threat but again in the period where they had to defend he was defending and he had to tackle on the goal line which is you know you're asking one thing

you're a superstar act aca and a forward to attack to come back and defend most of them listen but this guy did i very very excited about the future and what you can bring to football and just listening to celebrations continue the fans that don't stop are going to squeeze every last moment of pleasure out of this welcome it's amazing to think you know i'm going to ask you because you didn't feel right so so i come enough been here since the beginning of june and i've seen it i've been said many many times pleasantly surprised now we have walked it's nine o'clock in the evening we've had a little bit of rain it's full of people there it's full of people in the square it's for the people and those with what's going to happen when when the world cup is over how is this going to play out is it going to be you know it's going to be a new train coming here and i think people are always out and about in moscow maybe just around the world people don't realise that it's. just like anywhere else it's

a big city a metropolis people go out and have a great time particularly at the weekends and i think that for the russians having experienced this you know this small the sport of coaches the languages that the different atmosphere that the fans have brought i think that the embrace this maybe they'll want to travel a bit more and see more of the world and i hope it will encourage more the fans to tell their friends and their family says good place try it out you think i think that the people here in moscow for if they have they have seen something new that they're going to bring into the daily life from the from all the impressions they've got from the people visiting the city and i don't think so i think it will generate huge interest in people from other from other countries it's a new experience for a lot of people i'm sure some people have traveled others haven't so they've experienced that people differ from other parts of the world but at the same time they just the same as the amount of a different language a different expectation of what's normal but when it comes down to it the flesh and blood and the good people just like you and i think that's what we've understood

that everyone's the same even though we're you know we're from different places what about the authorities so. obviously i've been here many many times throughout the whole of my my life my career and i've seen the authorities act in different ways when i first started to travel six months ago and i can say this because it was said yesterday by i was there before yesterday by alexander stephanie and you could not get a smile out of someone who worked in immigration point now you know you give your passport and the smile for welcome to russia it's different and i've experienced is one night when russia played and i and i was walking home and you had you had a police or military guy standing every ten meters on the street just standing there but it was you know they were there people smiling they were having a good time do you think that's going to change as well or was that yours for the workers i think it was safety first and and also you have to understand that people in russia having the same stories as the people in the west we're hearing you know they're one of the scare stories. from the from the western media because when you

go to russia you might be in danger it is turns out and we can hear it and see it now the only danger fans were in was having a fantastic time and you know the experience of a lifetime i think everyone is going to realize that maybe there's nothing to worry about when you come here if people behave we're going to have a good time and everyone's had a good time and the world cup has been absolutely fantastic and this and that mix that with film and show you that. it's a fantastic book i think smart started this. excellent world excellent. shot for russia we already know. feel like the chinese do it in the boy's shoulder everything is so nice and clean it's so proper and secure to say that people are friendly. you

might want to go out and fish world cup all the joey we've seen almost all the strong teams make everything happen when their matches while both teams considered to be weak have been almost from the same level what i mean with the world cup if you're going to win but i'm stupid to be surprised that one of the biggest achievements is that even custom and all the stuff to smile because they don't smile anywhere in the world they say welcome to russia was a spectacular like it's been spectacular people are very friendly fashion you organization and event it's been very good been less surprising but i'm very happy with how everything's going. yeah we're sorry there was a older guy in the beginning of that. what's his name again the guy with the shades all i thought it was so the gold not all that but it was said but it was it was it from his eyes and i woke up and trust me it was not his welker this was the people's will. and it was just an unbelievable time and thankfully. he didn't have

anything to do with it and we have a new future president and the un for president things like that taking the game in the right direction we spoke to a lot of top officials within football it all looks positive the future looks bright in a cracking world cup once again just over a month sixty four games six thousand one hundred ninety minutes of football all leading up to france lifting the trophy before will come the next time four years from now. when you say come home. you know i'd settle for russia i think they might have a better chance than yeah but you know you can laugh about england. having this added to bring something to the game first of all the football's coming home is the best football song ever written so that that's one thing but also you know it is it does create some kind of excitement about themselves but also the other teams because everyone reacts to it we know that creation reacted really strongly to the way that

the english media and the english players are talking but the end of the day they won the game they finished runners up and then finished fourth france won the world championship and belgium finished so it's been absolutely fantastic bragging rights go to france for four years at least we're already gearing up. to cast twenty twenty i call white it's been so great here why would you want to mess that thanks to stay with r t it's been a real pleasure it's been quite a journey been a real i say a fantastic experience working. i've learned lots about football and it's it has been fun and so thanks for being with us thanks for watching see you next time see . the. any kind of presidents of the united states you know region if they want to

continue their is human or you know any policy we mean really against of their they don't even know region in the region if you're in a region that's quote could understand there were a goal the president. of the united states is trying to be you know region of your they give any kind of expansionism any kind of review and where you know this is a or any of that but. it's hard to imagine decades after the war a nazi doctor was still active and rich in the nineteen seventies crittle had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at auschwitz a german company grown untold develops a little mite a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy and it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything paul you

the biggest sporting event of the year is at an end it's been thirty two days sixty four games and six thousand one hundred eighty minutes of football all the up to the moment that france lifted the twenty eighteen world cup and. a thrilling final should just come up short losing four two to france in the end and russia is now saying goodbye to football's showpiece took him. away from the pitch among the biggest of this week's news stories donald trump pressures nato allies for more money in brussels then heads to britain on his first official visit there as u.s. president putin control the sea being met with protests wherever he said. i there it's nine pm this sunday in moscow it's commiserations to croatia but for this attack on france well done you did it you've got the.
