in the bag it's now nine pm here in moscow we will come update for you on the week's biggest story. to say the twenty eighteen world cup final had a bit of everything didn't it and i don't go all drama and a mix of emotions for the two teams take a look. was was the was there

were. the way we're. here what a weekend to be french first bastille day on saturday and then sunday getting the second well come right this is where it happened it was at the national stadium and all teams alexy irish eskies been ducking the thundering downpour alexei the rain doesn't seem to be troubling the fans behind it. well you can say that but clearly there are a lot of very wet and very sad creations walking behind me very wet and very jubilant french walking behind me sets up you'll say money for the moment you can hear that in the crowd the french have done it again after twenty years they are lifting the six kilograms of gold above their heads in luzhniki and obviously this is something not completely unexpected many pundits have said that they were one of the favorites to win this but this happened now this is official france is the

twenty eight thousand feet a world cup champion here in russia have to say you have to hand it to the creation's in the stadium at the ninety first minute being four two down they still cheer their team on they arrive in large numbers they were partying old through saturday night in moscow and their support in the stadium was nothing short of phenomenal same goes to the lib loo camp they were very very loud they were very jubilant a lot of you know. happiness you could see in the stands when all the phobos went in now they're going home deserved winners and obviously there will be a lot of partying in the streets of moscow today we i spoke to some of the fans on the way out the creations they still said listen we have a team which doesn't even have a national stadium in croatia maybe the fact that they go to the finals also actually twenty years since a very very strong performance in the one thousand nine hundred world cup when gratian ended third in that world cup maybe this will probably change football wise

in the country maybe that's something why many were supporting gratian tonight in this game thinking that there win would be massive not only for the country but for the football itself but francois favorites and now they they want to but before i go i just have to say. thank you everyone watching r.t. during this world cup thank you everyone making this coverage happen we all try to make it the best possible and i hope that everyone behind the scenes that are see behind. every single move that we made the and everyone watching this enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed providing it the stuffing being great having everybody here and certainly to both teams thanks to them for giving us such a great finale to a stunning month of international football and actually i just got the news new stadium thanks for that. now imagine what it's like in france right now i can imagine a few people might be a little late for work tomorrow his watch on the tube and skis i've been looking at in paris in the past few minutes. thank.

you. of the. last experience twenty years ago when fronts was actually the highest nations and when they were running the woke up many people believed that they could win this championship going in the realm very very strongly about them that they did they team and of course they've done it every stage of the way the fans have been on the streets and now they've been rewarded with these incredible moments these moments where they know that they are now the round cup champions and this weekend just the icing on the cake the best field and a national celebration in fronts and now this sunday the fifteenth and even i think

it was an aberration game front's was i don't have. the right to do that i am not saying with us along for the ride throughout the tournament chess a merino and peter schmeichel here's what they made of the final. twenty three coalition players players the coaching staff do will be very very disappointed because. time the best team was losing and was losing because of. in my opinion and mistake of the concept of the v a i'm not saying he's not the penalty because there can be different opinions are wrong i'm saying that the concept of the v.a. is a bald important mistakes of the referee and this was not one of these cases so really really disappointed you that in the second of happened what we were

expecting them from us scored the serve the ball in the fourth and just. a mistake of that i don't even call the mistake i call extra confidence because of the four one in the game over but croatia still playing until the end of the great pride they were fantastic and they deserve all the credit for what they did but. in football the realities. and france is the world champ in twenty years of it's been a fantastic will cup and you would think that the final he would be a fitting time next year when it was frozen it recessed into the last month of football that we've watched you know i think. many many would things happen i think the fact that. the biggest players in the world they didn't make it with that teams i think that's also the beauty and and the power of the icing the v.a.r.

gave a very good contribution when was applied in the right sequence stances i think crew in france in the final scenes the beginning was a good final was a really good final and i would like to see these second of starting with the one one. not to be the one and specially with a two one goal. that will be for the final of the highest scoring final votes on but it was really. what i think it was a fitting to what has been an absolutely fantastic walk up through the gulf so everyone understands how this game unfolded in first of all in croatia had a lot of bad luck and it's going well i was the. referee give a free kick that is not a free kick first of all and then they are very very unlucky. as is trying to clear the ball he unfortunate doesn't get through it's

a slight the fake. changes the course of direction of the ball and away from the goalkeeper so they're one nil down and it's really unlucky at that point to have four or five really sort of good opportunities in the box not clear chances but then in the twenty eight minutes ten minutes later so we have a pattern here in the first half by the way eighteen twenty eight and we'll get to the next one in research has been a hero for this team out with this guy this guy is right i said this in pre-match we seems a new world class starts and he's one of them and then he scored his goal and it's one more and it's very very fair this is exactly what this game needed to school and get it back to eleven playing field because it is. about the creation had a penalty. they didn't get it was like i don't understand good show so if you remember back to harry kane being brought down the referee gives a penalty it's not anywhere near the ball exactly and i mean exactly the same thing

happens. and the referee when he doesn't even ask the sixty doesn't even go in have a look and then we come to the crazy moment what this final did not just you know it's a corner case because man again kicks it in and the unlucky man is a friend parasite you know you just don't know the road to zero he just he's not a he's not a sure what is he supposed to do you know. and the rest. thank you for telling the picture for me and you can. play like it is mine an opportunity like that he will convert and the controversy is it has to be hundreds of oh yeah there's got to be intention he's got to be a deliberately dense of the hands of the what happens is a guy doesn't hit the ball and he's this distance you know and it's you know it just hits him looking to start a penalty i mean if that is a penalty again i repeat myself we would have penalties so many penalties in every game and that's what we needed to avoid situations that are near the control this is an almost functioning ansen silly mistakes you know clear and obvious mistakes

where the whole world can see it and see it and today i think the whole world sat there and saw no it's not a penalty i had a little look sort of shoot through social media and commentators from other and is only one of the only one of all the pundits that i kind of follow and thought it might have been a pansy who said i probably would have given everyone else agrees with me it's not a penalty so in a world cup final it's a big moment and i think that the referee stole that moment and i think that the creator didn't deserve it but what it did to croatia was it deflated them and this was a moment where you know all that bravo all the extra energy everything they showed in the previous three games is just disappear and they come back as we've said before three times in a row in the knockout stages they've done it a full time. and then this controversial decision knocks the stuffing out and you felt that this was just one time too many for them to go to the well and and pull it back yeah you know you see this goal here you know there are so tired that turn

their backs to play like march which is not you know committing himself to the shot it's an easy site for. and you know. it's what happens three one and from that moment on it looks really difficult and then of course my papa gets a pole how for you to gracious. and he shoots from forty yards and of course just the way it was for france today. that went down as well. but you know we can talk about being fair or unfair that this that's not b.s. your view let me be very clear about this friends are the world champions and they do serve to be the world champions for me consistently been the better team they've built it up they've turned it on when they needed to that's big players to form a proper. man again today if they ever looking to change if you win this competition in the competition it comes and we get the fourth goal here see the

profit you know this is just a way to run for france today a shot from that distance goes and let me show you here you know because one of the things that come out through the week one of the pick statements is deja and over and who's come out and he's done this hey look at me now i'm a really good defender and you all criticized me in fact i'm one of the best defenders in the world that's what he said after the game against england that's when he went out and said which is a very bad idea to say and let me be very clear about that today he didn't show that and his partner in this and said that if it. didn't show that either you know they were not very good today they didn't give her a for the kind of protection that they they you need to have in these kind of games and maybe one got a little bit ahead of himself unfortunately for him it's within two months it's true of the biggest finals you can play in that he's lost so it's not a great sign for him but he didn't play well today and one of the reasons that they that france scored four goals was that you know very much

a lot of unrest in that the fans now i think as one of the great goalkeepers of all time i'd love to get your opinion on what hugo lloris was doing sixty on minutes trying to dribble it past my own months a catch i have often in the idea i don't know what the what what what he's doing put it you know. it's what happens now. for one of you know i don't think so i just think you know this is this. the way you play this is. you know i've always played like that and you don't expect the player to put the leg out i do soko but that actually gave. a little bit of life. we had at this point ten minutes to go and you think. we want sorry twenty minutes to go maybe just maybe another if you could pull another goal by just maybe part france really twenty minutes they wrote off the story. they were very solid i mean we see the mistake but in fact we were played

a really good game. so you know well done france but what a disappointment for the croatian team and their fans that it must have been they fought their way through this tournament winning three consecutive games in extra time two of them on penalties we spoke to the croatian president out of the final a passionate football found by the way i'm very proud g dimension of a national team regardless of their defeat. i didn't see their team i saw the selector they're feeling fine they're feeling great what i can say is like i just played. be relaxed it doesn't it doesn't really matter if we're going to the gold or just silver well on the top of the world and i'm so proud of my nation. dedicated fans from every corner of the globe made their way here to see their teams play we followed a few of their exciting journey. i

love the low. low low low. low. low for me a very. spicy leg. also a little soft they think i want to focus on the value of those here but i'm keeping them open for the middle going wasn't going to fall on top of that i thank you. oh ok do you know if i could tell you things are going. to go. listen to.

this lucky dog not such if you love but you should just hope that it is guided by thank you nigeria keeps on all the. little of the western media build this on the t.v. about russia it's all the fault they try their best to make us you know feel i'm told in russia. these are something that it often doesn't want to witness such. even though this is the thing. and for everyone who came to russia to share it with us has been great meeting you thanks for making this well cup such a success it's been thirty two to sixty four games and six thousand one hundred ninety minutes of football and all that i'm only doing. that moment just over an hour ago in front sniffed at the trophy for the second time in history what a ride it's been.

but if you're standing in the middle of the street and someone reaches in their back in their back with a waistband the cop is not going to sit in the home gym the benefit of the doubt because people should be reaching their waist being with cops having guns trained on him seem to be still moving. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for him to let it be an arms race in his own spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm

going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. i got on to other matters within the past half hour donald trump's landed in helsinki for his first formal summit with the russian president vladimir putin and despite the poor state of bilateral relations right now the u.s. leaders said that while he has no expectations for them monday's talks make a more smoothly than those whose help with washington's allies this past week. i have. somewhat putin may be the easiest of them all. i would say

i hope we get along well i think we get along well hopefully some day maybe he'll be a friend it could happen but i know i just don't know him very well in a sense we're competitors not a question of friend or enemy is not my enemy and we also historian and author peter coos nick for his thoughts on the upcoming summit and he told us that he hopes that despite the current hostilities steps can be taken towards nuclear disarmament we've already had a lot of tension between our two countries trump says that he wants to be friends with russia but our policies are not friendly toward russia and so we've got the nuclear posture review that the united states articulated in february of this year putin responded to that on march first with his state of the nation address. announced there was that russia now has five new nuclear weapons already online or about to come online all of which can circumvent america's ballistic missile

defense system this is a very big issue to putin they made a big point of that in the march first speech the fact that the united states abrogated the a.b.m. treaty in two thousand and two so if nothing else if they can make some progress comes of understanding on the nuclear front that would itself be and is stored in every step forward for all of mankind. israeli military has carried out its largest ad campaign against hamas since twenty fourteen the i.d.f. says it had forty of the ruling islamist groups facilities across gaza the air raids began early on saturday in response to flaming cuts being flown into his row by protesters in the beleaguered territories israeli defense forces then stepped up the operation after hamas fired rockets over the border in retaliation the violence has reportedly left twelve palestinians and three israelis wounded in the crowd raising goals of force i am now fifty meters away from the last target the israeli forces targeted with four air strikes and as you see this playground is more of

a picnic people and families play here where this building was targeted with the floor as strikes is right it claims that this building was used to train 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 fire agreements to believe me

a member of the canis it stated that they are going to continue targeting and attacking gaza strip but they're not willing to occupy gaza strip and while the israeli prime minister has issued a warning to hamas over attractions. poses clear herber hurts us will hit them with great strength this is what we did yesterday the idea of delta hamas the harshest blows since operation protective i hope that they got the message if not they will get to it later the latest confrontation occurred after a fifteen year old palestinian boy was shot dead on friday during riots on the israel gaza border one i.d.f. soldier was also injured. after. the i. was. the. i would winning

journalist who helped whistleblower edward snowden expose wrongdoing by america's national security agency came under attack at the beginning of the week for the sitting russia he was here for a conference on fake news has the details. well glenn greenwald who is the famous journalist who exposed electronic surveillance in the united states using the documents of edward snowden revealed by edward snowden the whistleblower he is getting a lot of criticism at this point now he went to russia he attended a conference on cyber security at that conference he spoke on a panel related to the issue of fake news and then from there he went and did a t.v. interview with this network there's an obsession in the united states with viewing russia not just as an adversary but as an oxe one to me it's permeated both political parties there's actually talk a lot now about how what they regard as the interference in the twenty sixteen election is similar to pearl harbor from there we saw

a whole lot of media voices in the usa jump on glenn greenwald's simply for the fact that he gave this interview one commentator from m s n b c responded this way glenn greenwald choose his true colors as an agent of trump in moscow now we know why he hopes and i wouldn't affect companies who wiki leaks talk want to mock you see in shills for folks news he's deep in the kremlin pumpkins now a tweet from a media outlet associated with voice of america accuse glenn greenwald of quote voicing support for the government of russia in his interview now wiki leaks responded pointing out that at no point did mr greenwald voiced support for the russian government that was not anything he said in his interview at no point in the interview did he make statements supporting the russian government so this tweet from a u.s. government media outlet voice of america was simply not correct now lebron was not the first individual to have been targeted this way and basically accused of all kinds of things simply for appearing on this network we saw that green party

presidential candidate jill stein faced similar allegations simply because she did interviews on r.t. and that she went to russia and met lattimer putin and. also seen in the recent in the aftermath of the passing away of edge scholtz we've seen similar statements and strange things made in allegations made in the obituaries in the reporting around his death so glenn greenwald has responded to those jumping on him for doing the interview saying that this is simply mccarthyism and it reminds people of the period in the united states in which guilt by association was very common and people were being accused of being disloyal and treasonous simply for meeting with somebody or giving an interview or shaking hands with someone glenn greenwald is quick to jump on this as an example of kind of the hysterical atmosphere created around russia in the united states the subject of the interview he gave to r.t. but there's this sense that russia is now one and then me on par with or the

japanese during world war two russia is often talked about this way in the sense that any kind of connection with or interaction with russia is viewed as inherently suspicious or even worse than oh echoing that investigative journalist max blumenthal's has green playing greenwald's a victim of america's perception of russian enemy. this is outright slander that is being committed by an employee of m s n b c which is push this frame of anything connected to russia being a form of treason if you look at malcolm nance's own record of wild statements including that the united states as a constitutional republic is about to be destroyed by a lot of mere putin it's pretty clear that he's to intelligence what harvey weinstein is to feminism this is all about geopolitics and people like glenn greenwald. have been have become collateral damage in the revival of

mccarthyism. ok about to find out thanks for watching on back in half an hour as we wrap up what's been a stunning world cup tournament the team france crowned champions for the second time after beating a defiant croatia in a stunning finale to russia twenty eight i'm calling bright this is all going to. be i think hiding this catastrophe of holding in britain for the past fifteen years or so was its connection to the dea and the ability to have its own currency and yet passport rights into the you take those away and you have a subtly greece on steroids and all those banks and the e.u. and america are going to attack the u.k. worth of play and drive into bankruptcy. more doogan is an outstanding person because he took on the most powerful agency in this county for you to stay if you look at it from the board now into the. market was the day

into russia political sign. men they know bad wolf. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've matter the us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent just last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember in one one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only food.
