twenty eight. lifting the trophy. i. president. between the two leaders. colonel in the kremlin could be doing some important intelligence gathering on his american counterpart people find the best case scenario

a scenario where basically nothing terrible. morning here in moscow and it's a busy day for the big stories let's get into. the world cup has reached its celebrating its. twenty years.

that so show you the scene in paris after the final whistle there an estimated one million people took to the streets waving flags and launching fireworks i was the

evening wore on the party got out of hand and some parts of the city with riot police being deployed. i. thank you. thank. you i. thank the so i. i. i. i so france a manager has become the third person in football history to win the tournament as both a player and a coach he sat down for a post match news conference in moscow wish didn't go exactly as planned. in

english please. sorry. your was it was god god god god god god god god well the games or a brave fight back from croatia who were in there for the cup final here at the key moments on the breakdown of the match from manchester united boss jos a lady in u. . and who. they were who were the who were who were who the was

a big the and who about when i was the owner the with the but who the above the us or the and. the and who

are 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 a mistake of the concept of the 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 me that in the second of happened what we were expecting and then france scored. 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. croatia still 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 reality is. and france is the world champ in twenty years of. high scoring final but it was. a watering hole and i think it was a fitting phenology to what has been an absolutely fantastic world cup i'm a little bit sad that we didn't get three more goals because they would have been superseded or we would have superceded brazil when you said that we don't see one goals were scored in brazil four years ago hundred fifty three before today we got six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 that's part of 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 pesty no doubt about that france didn't really play well they looked very nervous and then this referee and i have to say mr putin of law also refereed the opening match between russia and saudi arabia in that you also referee craig versus then i came out and i told you i was very unhappy with his performance i thought it was very one sided then today he then brings. involved on a decision well i don't think it's a pound i think if the penalty then i think the game is completely ruined from supporters and i was going crazy if you heard that this was a win for them this is a report from our correspondent in paris shelly davis king right after the final whistle was the right of all. as it's been given and it runs and now the rounds

got champions i'm seeing a team this is an amazing opportunity to experience something of a country loss experience twenty years ago when fronts was actually the east nations and when they were running the world cup many people believe that they could win this championship going in he was very very strongly advised that they didn't they cheat him and of course think danny every stage of the way the fans have been down the street and now they've been rewarded with this incredible moment this moment where they knowing that they are not on the road sunshine seasons in this weekend's yes the icing on the yankee seals and the national sentiment she in france and now this sunday the fifteenth and even i think i said of regime fronts was.

let's talk about russia because you know we haven't spoken about them for a few days let's not forget that's what a big part they played in this competition we said it before host nations is important might do well to keep that in a spear 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 go on to the subsequent munchies generated an interest in the competition i don't think this this world cup would have been so brilliant had broken up by that well and what board russia also created they created they can personality stars. you know in russia there are no studies those essential is a mass of stuff you can pick and choose you can pick i want that square to be named after me and it will be cherry suspended choses super. people who went on the football page and worked for a while and inspired people to show people that there's

a different way of doing things and i think the experience is for six months travelling in all the crowd that was about first of all be good enough to host the world through. venues good enough with people like come in here you know how would it be kind of football team play all these things but washed away when russia and saudi arabia fight and from that moment on this world cup just took off. the most experienced in the world cup of all of wars and since one thousand nine hundred fifty four and a lot of them i've been through a played one myself. but i cannot remember anything as enjoyable. most of the time this place has been. pretty sure that croatia when you had a moment of reflection are 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 disappointment they won three consecutive games in extra time to the five penalties go on can say they didn't have the test if we spoke to the croatian present 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. the relaxed it doesn't it doesn't really matter if the gold or just silver will on the top of the world and i'm so proud of my nation but all the celebrations have been like in some of us of the host city. it's 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 their first in st petersburg let's come to you first looks nice dry then i want to be like for you being part of the anti team covering this well 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 our studio here in st peter's it's been really a wonderful backdrop for what's been a great tournament a great personal experience for me i've managed to take in st petersburg the wonderful people here the culture the architecture everything about this city has really been welcoming to me i even brought my family out here as well what an incredible month it's been just before going on both saying so our producer how to feel how i miss going back home to moscow actually if on through on us i'm really going to miss this experience what an amazing experience it has been the weather here in seoul to the rain really hasn't dampened the whole experience overall the stadium the fish they gave me a behind we have seen some of the brightest matches the knocking portugal out and finally that game which had over one hundred forty million russians on the edge of

their seats the country to dream for one week one day for that hundred twenty minutes at the host nation reached the quarter final before having their hearts broken by the croats who of course that they came second often champions france without the files though as he was saying neil this really wouldn't be the experience it was and the means the right thing with those people like came from the field list asia south america or australia or north america i've visited multiple cities in russia from design to kaliningrad from sochi descent peter square and they really embrace the country of the country embrace that make the. and disquietude preconceived ideas the reservations of preconceptions prove i was south and hold this money but this is where it all started absolutely sporadically it wasn't one of the two official be found zones and most people just showed up liked it and stayed and this is what they're doing this is where they come to bid

full well not just to the world cup but also to each other really because people have pulled in the love with each other different parts of the world who grew it together they were packed into this one tiny street in central moscow and this is where all the world cup chaos in a good sense of this would of course unravel and so only a lot of of course the the street is somewhat dominated of course by the croatian and by the french fans who have come here and of french are obviously they're happy they got something they would dream golf they desired two decades and now they finally have it if you cheer for france today yes did you say you were at the game no i was at a function and gross is going to be gone because finally after twenty years we moved to start this one. who started in those jobs the sixty's and into the ninety eight in a mood and i could use a. junkyard you know are are are very proud to be

crossing most of people i was and we did in the have a luck today but we had luck read in before matches and recall for four or eight years to be kind of maybe a win in the finals it was very nice to meet you and we would come back as soon as possible to start yes all over. the all over the globe. yeah bragging rights will go to france for four years at least we're already gearing up. to twenty twenty two i call white it's been so great why would you want to miss that thanks for staying with artie's been a real pleasure it's been quite a journey been a real plus a fantastic experience working. and i've learned a lot about football and it's it has been fun so thanks for being with us thanks for watching the universe sees.

when else seems wrong why don't we all just don't. get to shape out just. after. and in detroit because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. 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 right into the e.u.

you 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. play and drive into the back. with us today the president vladimir putin is set to meet donald trump in what will be the first summit between the two leaders i think president has already landed in the finnish capital helsinki which is playing host to the high profile meeting and although the summit hasn't begun yet some sectors of the media already in panic mode just as they were. last year.

and. here's an unlikely that the president will confront putin is going to convey to putin that he's weak. from what is now our american perspective to see it turn into a face to face full scale bilateral meeting with the u.s. president. the president's trip abroad will also include a meeting with russian president vladimir putin york city leaders of these two

countries i'm going to hear someone say this is a bad idea when he goes this nato conference who he represents we represent the united states or we represent moscow the former k.g.b. colonel in the kremlin could be doing some important intelligence gathering on his american counterpart people are are are terrified the best case scenario is a scenario where basically nothing terrible fight that's going around well no matter what happens in helsinki at the western media will it seems find something negative about it at least judging by the track record i'm not out there explains. two years they've obsessed over it one dead end worried about this meeting joked about their relationship the mold i want to state officials that we in the russian artists the goods you are u.s. prison thank you some has to completely distance himself from anything russian. so

today the white house announced he'll be meeting with vladimir putin on i sixty five it makes sense it is time for trump's annual employee review. adult lad to be uprooted one hundred one i'm taking a year me a joint statement saying we're best friends blah blah blah and here we are and they finally meet in a pundit call fanie roaring up into a crescendo a tense moment but trump thinks it's no biggie. putin may be the easiest of the more. 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 the sense we're competitors not a question of friend or enemy he's not my enemy so what's on the menu well for starters no one really knows yet we've had hints syria ukraine meddling but

nothing concrete which is no surprise anything these two say especially about each other invariably gets strong out and turned upside down and inside out you're usually he's a very bright person talented without any downs reaffirming their bromance mutual admiration society if he is really very much of a leader he's been a leader far more than our president has been a little too mentally unstable aggressive men with nuclear buttons it's a disgrace it's gotten so bad that even common courtesy is frowned upon or reviled at this point of putin's needs that trump would be crucified for merely saying bless you thing is trumps trump he's easy with words russia is not strong economically and we could do a lot of different things to really do numbers on them if we wanted to know what.

trumps trump words for him more sound than meaning who don't know much more careful politician. trump was able to succeed in business and that means he's a clever man come on the. team was more effective during the election campaign sometimes i thought he was exaggerating is true but it turned out he was right. although i did once side with trump remember the rumors spread about trump the one about prostitutes and a certain hotel room in moscow. trump is a man who for many years has organized beauty pageants he socialized with the most beautiful women in the world i can hardly imagine he rushed to the hotel to meet some young russian women low social responsibility. sweet talk aside russia and the u.s. in syria have almost come to open war relations

a dismal getting worse but not all is lost crimea is back in the headlines trump has called for russia to come back to the g. seven regardless trump's a businessman he likes the deal likes the trade we can do me a favor we can get out of syria i think and probably have a good relationship with them yeah it isn't going to be easy but at least they're talking two nuclear superpowers which could destroy the world thrice over not behaving like children everyone's better off when they talk unless you're a pundit or a hater they're in meltdown mode calling this a loss for the u.s. calling trump a russian agent but hey they've been outed for years all that's left really is the wait and see what happens only time will tell we heard from one

antiwar activist who says nuclear weapons should be a key concern for the two presidents. we preparing a lot of negative opinion and minimalist but i'll tell you what i'm hoping what i mean i think charm is said so while. that he might want to really he campaigned saying he wants to make a deal with russia he made a deal with north korea when they started to ratchet down the hostilities and i hope that. president hu can reestablish the lot that is that russia was constantly making you go on the trip to break in. who said what you and your fault i'm not us that's really just i hope it's office that back on the table and they can come out of the meeting saying look we're going to finally get rid of nuclear weapons. so the much anticipated talks are going to

start in just a few hours time do stay with us for the coverage and the latest updates on what are some of calling will be the biggest meeting of the year. it is all to international thanks for joining us here this weekend a major escalation in gaza with israel striking back against an alleged hamas rocket attack middle east correspondent paula reports. this past weekend the israeli army carried out of the largest is strike over gaza since the two thousand and fourteen war it hit several dozen her must targets after more than two hundred mortars and rockets were fired by palestinian militants at israeli communities living along the gaza border two palestinian teenagers were killed three israelis were injured in the early hours of sunday morning egypt managed to broker

a truce but the situation remains extremely tense with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu vowing to continue to hit hard. during the sabbath we hit hard our policy is clear when anyone seeks to harm us we will strike back with great force that is what we did yesterday the i.d.f. don't match the most devastating blow since the gaza war of twenty four they got the message if not they will get it later israeli officials insist that the cease fire includes association of all arson attacks over the past few months they have been thousands of balloons and kites attached to bombs and other explosives that have been flown into israel these have resulted in hundreds of fires on farmland and also in nature reserves resulting in the destruction of tens of thousands of doom's of land there is going pressure by the israeli public on the military and the government to do something. let's be clear a cease fire where terrorists continue to strike us is no deterrence at all it's

a surrender the justice minister will come in making sure any ceasefire that allows hamas to rearm itself this tit for tat of airstrikes and rocket launchers is a significant flare up in an already volatile situation since march the thirtieth more than one hundred thirty palestinians have been killed in almost weekly clashes along is all gaza border and just this past friday thousands more descended there resulting in the death of a thirteen year old palestinian boy and in israeli soldier being injured in a rare admission a mass has. said that it launched rockets at israel as a warning and also as a deterrent to stop israel sending rockets but members of the resistance exercise its right to defend that now was to face up the israeli aggressors who made martyrs to children by conducting strikes against guards and international mediators hold brokered cease fire position as the occupation started this aggression and has to

stop the calmness from the occupiers and by calmness from outside but only time designed is commit acts of aggression against. direct response from the resistance for some time israel has been focused on its northern border and preventing the establishment of any rainy and military presence in syria the government is where we are to escalate tensions in gaza but israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is under increasing pressure particularly from these gaza border communities to deal with the situation there r.t. . we spoke to a political commentator and he thinks that both sides of the blame for the latest escalation. well come us does not recognize israel he does not even recognize the oslo agreements which created the palestinian authority come out has more. share of blame but israel too is not blameless because rather than

some initiative. please. take a corny a serious consideration of the so-called saudi peace initiative is trying to stall and while it is stalling more and more settlements are being built in the west bank and the chances for a deal between israel and the palestinians get slimmer by the day so yes there's enough blame to go around and even though hamas should take the largest share israel too has to answer for it i don't if you can do stick around here and international just a few hours time and putin a meeting in helsinki for what some are calling a meeting of the yeah. but .
