it was. france when the twenty eighteen world cup lifting the trophy after a sixty four game tournaments played in tel evan the russian cities. in the the uk the. celebrations a robbed across france after a thrilling four to the three over croatia and the final at moscow's illusion eighty said we'll. and our other headlines story donald trump arrives in helsinki for has first some ice with letterman put in.

welcome to our senior national on my due no question ice here in moscow where the world cup has just come to a thrilling and francis celebrating at second troughing for twenty years and this was the scene and paris after the final whistle the . france powered slow forward to victory over croatia at the luzhniki stadium and the russian capital france manager of deeds he had this shown has become the serb person and football history to win the tournament as both a player and coach has set down for a post match news conference which didn't go exactly as planned. and english please . in the area in. the in the in.

the. well the game saw a top flight back from croatia who were in their first ever world cup final and here at the key moments in the breakdown of the match from manchester united boss. and who. are the go to the who were when god

who above her abode of the over the but who the above the. the the the and. the the and who

were the were of the twenty three croatian players players the coaching staff will be very very disappointed because. at the time the best team was losing and was losing because of. in my opinion and mistake of the concept of the view yeah i'm not saying he's not the penalty because that can be the. and opinions are wrong i'm saying that the concept of the v.a. is about 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 and then friends scored the sort of wall in the fourth and just.

a mistake of that i don't even call a mistake i call extra confidence because of the four one in the game over but gracious to playing until the end of the great pride they were fantastic and they deserve all of 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 world cup and you would think that the final he would be a fitting climax to win it was was an it sure assessment of the last month of football that we've watched you know i think. many many would sings happen icing the fact that. the biggest players in the world they didn't make it with the 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 i was applied in the ride stances as

syncrude france in the final since 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 we did two one over goal. that will be forever in the final of the. highest scoring finals on but it was. say what i think it was a fitting phenology to what has been an absolutely fantastic welcome i'm a little bit sad that we didn't get three more goals because they would have been superseded or we would have superceded brazil when you said that we don't know who won goals were scored in brazil four years ago hundred sixty three before today we got six it's one hundred sixty nine which is still very very high when you said we needed nine goals i thought. actually it's getting interesting with fernando and let's cut to the chase here right so it was one one it was pretty even croatia

started really really well and for me the whole for the first forty five minutes was they were the best team no doubt about that france didn't really play well they looked very nervous and then this referee and i have to say. mr pitino who also refereed the opening match between russia and saudi arabia in that stadium he also refereed crazing versus then again are when i told you i was very unhappy with this performance i thought was very one sided then today he then brings in wagner on a decision well i don't think it's a pouncing i think if it's a penalty then i think the game is completely ruined and he takes over won't he watched to so many times and you know it just shows you that he's in doubt he doesn't really think it's a penalty but he hasn't got a clue what am i to do here but this decision which for me is crazy it was not a penalty if that is a pounds it would have twenty penalties in every game and you could play like he's

mine an opportunity like that he will convert and the controversy is it has to be hundreds of ball yeah there's got to be intention he's got to be a deliberate movement of the hand to the ball happens is a guy who doesn't hit the ball and he's this distance you know and it's you know it just hits him welcome to scrape and deserve it but what it did to croatia was it be flayed them and this was a moment where you know all that bravado all the x. or energy everything they showed in the previous three games it's just disappeared and they come back as it we've said before three times in a row in the knockout stages they've done it a full time here and then this is a controversial decision knocks this thing out and you felt that this was just one time too many for them to go to the well and and pull it back from supporters and i was going crazy they feel that this was a win for them this is a report from our correspondent in paris show the davis king right after the finalist. is being confirmed and i know.

jenkins i've. seen the thing i think. people just seem weak you just. think something at the time she. on the. many. going. on to. stage the way the fans of the streets are now being rewarded with this incredible moment this moment. they are. in this weekend. the national center. on the sunday.

talk about russia because you know we haven't spoken about them for a few days not forgetting that's what a big they played in this competition we said it before host nations is important i do well to keep that in the sphere strong and vibrant and i think we saw that in this world cup maybe more than ever before because the the the kind of energy that it generated across the country it really lifted everybody and also it made more russian fans i think the subsequent munchies generated an interest in the competition i don't think this. would have been so brilliant had broken up by that well and what the board of russia also created they created they can place an elephant stocks in russia there are no studies narcissist is the method you can pick and choose the people i want that square to be named after me and it will be a chair as if that is exuberant. people who went on the football pitch and worked

with the will of the inspired people show people that there's a different way of doing things and i think in the experience of the six months travelling at all the doubt there was about first of all be good enough to support the war from two. venue is good enough with people like come in here you know how would it be can our football team play all these things that washed away when russia and saudi arabia fight and from that moment on this world just took off. ok i was the most experienced guy in the world cup of of watch them since one thousand nine hundred four and a lot of them i've been through a played one myself i've been broadcasting. but i cannot remember anything as enjoyable as when most of the time this place has been since everybody i know who works the same kind of job that i was probably into or to russia with with all but we were told before hand that it was dangerous to be here that it wasn't going

to be good stadiums were very the same thing we heard four years ago before we went to brazil all that turned out not to be true in fact everyone thinks it's been for you know a lot of the guys of us for a lot of guys just a very. dangerous missions in the form of players working for that very reason everyone's a bit sad most of the you really have enjoyed it 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 thanks to moscow and he met up with thousands of russian fans in the fan zone here and then fill the 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 and you know we have to say that france really really did just . that within

a month and i think you know when you look at all the squats when they have all the twenty three names of feet you could argue look at france and while a lot of squad you look at brazil you think what a sport they have spain with the same and also germany and you have to remember germany didn't finish first this time then. nearly finished last i mean they really embarrassed themselves since laughing that didn't even make it through. pretty sure that croatia when they had a moment of reflection they're going to be partying tonight i'm sort of a she carol get all the players out and all of the board will be celebrating and expected to get this far you know the fans they will have been dreaming the dream when they got so close that this all disappointed when they won three consecutive games of extra time to them via penalties go on can say they didn't have the nerves tested we spoke to the croatian president ahead of this match she's a passionate football fan by the way and very proud of her national team regardless of defeat well 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 the cold or just sell their will on the top of the world and i'm so proud of my nation it's been an interesting time appear on the rooftop we've seen kind of everything haven't we we've been busy with with celebrities out of honor for you but i will cut into one of those wives in them. where there's a drop of not a nice job and i'm worried not only about the fall because it's a great view but it comes at the cost of this sheer drop the word about being struck by lightning as well but that's the only g that we've heard throughout this tournament we've had our correspondents all over russia in the host cities bringing you i hope a chance to soak up some of the atmosphere to enjoy what it's like to be part of this tremendous footballing road show them some great experiences along the way i would like to take a moment now to share a few of them with you. should

and they came disquietude preconceived ideas and reservations and preconceptions that was shattered this month and is no aeration to say we heard it from the people president but you know had the best world cup ever it's hard. to understate really what an experience this has been all russia we've been bringing you highlights and analysis with some of the greatest minds in the beautiful game. lots of colorful visitors let's take a look back. welcome to our coverage of the twenty eight teams playing for well i know you're watching at home because they still won't go what else would you do or not out the best to do when you never television presenter. it's not easy or somewhere oh it is. very unlucky the last few days you're going to moscow.

for a single very english weather studio who've been specially lined up but if you know the weather personally. i. wasn't as a political family you know those. been passed in england if you are an english person when talking about the both of you have to say it's coming yeah let's hoping to get stuff by the way she's sorry but that. was actually amazing. i'm sorry peter but he was even better than you. general of the supreme committee for delivery legacy for the twenty twenty world cup and. maybe for you. to store. up a spot for. my kid is my kid in spite of he looks older than me. like

you. i think. these boys from iceland since they were babies they were eating. i'd love to meet on breakfast immediately just to give you an idea i have picked these guys i thought i was on the box that. i do have a quick question for peter goalkeeper story line i was a midfield dynamo if you fancy yourself a question for peace my good you're good at that is unfortunately the situation that will come up you can have many teams that you support the caribbean feel only one and there's only one guy with a home that is really making the most of it. was the lone star so what do you want or clover. what do you want an answer that will.

be a. year without the. bragging rights we'll go to france for four years at least we're already gearing up. to twenty twenty why it's been so great here why would you want to mess that place 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 alongside you peter i've learned a lot about football and it's it has been fun and so thanks for being with us thanks for watching see you next time see. i wouldn't call make this manufacture consent to stick to the public will. when the

right wing closest to protect themselves. with the flaming. lips and be the one person. in the middle of the room sick. in the. room. i think i think this catastrophe of folding in britain for the past fifteen years or so was its connection to the e.u. and the ability to have its own currency and yet asked for right into the e.u. to take those away and you have essentially greece on steroids and all those banks and the e.u. and america are going to attack the u.k. mersa plate and drive into bankruptcy.

welcome back donald trump has arrived in helsinki the has first official meeting with the russian president vladimir putin now this follows a town sneed zero summit in brussels where the u.s. leader accused you are p. and allies of failing to meet their spending obligations and also a trip to the u.k. overshadowed by mass protests so after a turbulent week for trump his expecting that talks with push to be relatively easy . to do. so broad putin may be. the easiest of them all. 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 don't i just don't know him very well in the sense

we're competitors not a question of friends or enemies not my enemy quickly and trump are expected to discuss the war in syria although the rest of the summit agenda as so far are unclear we heard from an antiwar activist who believes nuclear weapons should be a key concern for the two presidents we've been hearing a lot of negative opinion and minimalist but i'll tell you what i'm hoping what i mean i think charm and while. that he might want to be really he campaigned saying he wants to make a deal with russia he may deal with what korea where they started to ratchet down the hostility and i hope the. president can reestablish that is that russia was constantly making him go on the trip so they can. he said what you and your fault. that the

u.s. has rejected and i hope it's office and back on the table and they can come out of the meeting saying look we're going to finally get rid of nuclear weapons. that's a term our team here at already had a quite arse where we'll be back with more right at the top of the hour.
