for supporters of this definitely scythe american but last night the french maybe put it up to them let's have a look at some of the scenes we were witnessing the bank like evolution. as it is being confounded fronts and now the world's got champions i'm seeing now as an eighteen this is an amazing opportunity to experience something of a country lost experience twenty years ago when fronts was actually the east nations and when they won the will come up many people believe that they could win this championship going in it was very very strongly about them that they did they cheat and of course they've done it every stage of the way the fans have been out in the streets and now they've been rewarded with this incredible moment this moment where they know that they are now the world cup champions and this weekend yes the icing on the cake the bust still day the national celebration here in fronts and now this sunday the fifteenth and even i think it was an aberration game

fronts as i have no. chance. in the no union you wish you were there in the celebrations miti yeah keep your hands off our charlotte dubin skate to many cases the last few days. one of the things though i was reading the op eds about this neal and this morning a lot of people saying the atmosphere in france in the past number of years has been divisive we've seen so many protests on the streets over the president over a whole number of things there are wondering will this not bring the country closer together not totally what we saw last night because in some parts of the french capital the victory party turned into a tool of me take a look. at you. you.

i i. i i. i i just want to say at this point i think something that's been crystal clear because of this will be a lot of world leaders out there now thinking wow that was great that was great not just for the entertainment it was great for the host country and i think it's a great advert we've seen for russia it's been great for just raising spirits in the country people will feel better about this lands now after the world cup a lot of presidents and prime minister was thinking we could do with some of that here it's an opportunity for us and it's no coincidence that you see him on your microphone you know getting there as fast as he could to the final the some political capital to be made from something like this a lot of people can gain and i'm sure that this is kind of breathe fresh life into

now the kudos of hosting a world cup i think that the bids will get more and more strong and strong as people realize what a great opportunity it is talking of officials look at this. there was an error was there was there was one year was. was there any front you know where it was. five years. i did i did ok in english please. sorry. sir it was i that i was to do was and it was due. to that it was was that i did was it was. one of the things about this. not

to get too deep but. one of the issues going into this finals was that how does the club game taken over with the power on the money and people not really turning out for friendlies for their for their countries for international matches is the club game too big and would be seen at this international tournament that maybe money and power takes over from pride and patriotism you know what i think that's being put to bed completely soon what it means to you not just the french players who won but messi right now due to the spirit that they're leaving these world cup finals with because they're not going to win a world that they're probably not going to be back at all messi possibly but the likelihood has some of the best players i've ever seen. have a world cup medal to their name on it meant something to them not just to the fans we've been looking over a shoulder neal in the morning time here red square is just over here so many

selfies being taking any kind of football jersey the locals are descending on them trying to really get the last few moments of the world cup beta wants to enter. or i just want to say at this point picking up on what you said i want to see bubbles. football related illness football has become a business and huge money and free to make a lot out of it and they put some money back players themselves the multimillionaires their massive egos they've got personal security more than the porch between cars on it so so these guys are very standoffish they don't mix with a lot of the public when it comes to the national scene very different and we shoot at the russian team was that we play for you it's i think you put a little bit more belief back into the founders that you know these guys martin superstars but they work for us when it comes to the national. two cents and that

is it for a must see you again soon. be with us today let's go to some more live pictures now from helsinki where president vladimir putin's motorcade right now pulling up to the presidential palace the venue that is hosting this first ever really official summit between. american counterpart donald trump and the russian president's plane landed at the helsinki airport less than half an hour ago and it's they whisked him very quickly to where you see right now that is the opening to. the finish presidential. twice before those were fairly brief interactions the first time. at the g.

twenty meeting of world leaders and. the second in vietnam november twenty seventh on the sidelines of the asia pacific economic cooperation summit. have had numerous conversations which he said all along to be very constructive and this is a highly anticipated meeting as the two leaders are expected to discuss a wide range of issues such as the situation in syria. with drawls in the iran nuclear deal and that of the nuclear eyes ation of north korea scuse me as well as the situation in ukraine so the russian president arriving at the presidential palace in helsinki heading up stairs to meet with his american counterpart expectations for the meeting today well all we can say is expectations and aspirations a very high. screen to the left of course the russian foreign minister he's expected to sit down as well with the u.s. counterpart. as well the pompei oh is he there at the u.s.

secretary of state i understood that he will be having a side meeting with putin and have their own meeting there are also some rumors flying that trump and putin it will be alone together approximately one worth of course they would have their translators with them but it is expected that all the delegations are going to be pushed out of the room of putin and try to sit down and have a. conversation about the biggest challenges facing the world we live in so day live pictures here from the capital of finland. in the days ahead of the summit some media outlets work themselves up into a huge just a state of shared panic claiming that donald trump could be a russian agent. and takes a closer look. the helsinki summit is no ordinary meeting it's a vast conspiracy against america and the entire free world at least that's what

you think by watching some of the channels we're getting played by our president and certainly we get him played by putin you're saying that russia is handling it was an asset that's that seems to be the that's the appearance to me the worst case scenario for compression collusion but don't trump as many russian intelligence asset some thank you he said so the president of the united states is actually an agent of the russian government that's quite a dramatic claim to make and it's all over us airwaves here's the lady who made it popular putin rather have a puppet as president in a day no it looks like the american people didn't exactly buy this claim at the voting booth however long after trump took the oath the allegations are still with us the talks are connecting russia assault the criminal clan polluted with a foreign government this could really leave a stain on his legacy we are already on the precipice of losing book breed him and independence but they should so if trump is actually

a russian agent then anyone could be working for the kremlin apparently a number of americans are part of this sinister russian plot including those who support the second amendment now it's emerging that the n.r.a. may have been under the influence of russia those who don't want nato to expand if there's rejection. you are cheating you're just a flat or maybe a rapper or a journalist writing about the clinton foundation and don't forget hillary clinton herself everyone is colu doing with russia you go the him read campaign you go to the d.n.c. you go to the f.b.i. during the cold war u.s. authorities gave instructions about how to identify those who might have a soft spot for the kremlin overlords these instructions wouldn't look too out of place today. recognizing that russian asset visible appearance counts for nothing if he openly declares himself to be including with russia we take his word for. it

but birds and events the activity of the prussia while consistently attacking the domestic and foreign policy of the united states she may be the influence of russia my goodness such plotting and intrigue beneath the surface quite an atmosphere for two world leaders to be meeting. art see new york. political commentator jonah boast noach things trump's got a point when he says he is being criticized and demonized by the media no matter what this is a meeting that has been long anticipated. this has followed a build up of demonization of both putin and trump especially in what trump calls the lying mainstream media in the west so that trip a nation in fear that you're hearing from the united states is not necessarily not coming from the people of the united states but from the media of the united states and as we know unfortunately the mainstream media is

a heavy point of investment of the military industrial complex if there is no war the military industrial complex goes bankrupt and so that's the real fear and nervousness about this meeting every normal person who loves peace is in favor of this meeting well given all that's been said about the pows relations we decided to hit the streets of new york and ask the people whether they actually buy still buy the story and trump's role in it as a criminal mentioned. he gets. home trump love coffee hope something arrogant for him. but i don't know if i could say that on t.v. what's what's orange and russian. or something absolutely trotsky than that his name is going to give away i don't think you are so russians are so i don't believe they. keep on doing what you're doing you're doing

a great job russia make sure the two people fly you don't change your wife's too often or something. to build more hotels you know no more make moscow great again. no idea why do you think that i just think it's too much it's too shady to nabi i think that the whole thing to say isis guide to the idea of innocent till proven guilty just sounds crazy so ridiculous. because it's not my it's not my kind of friend only if there is something in it for him not friendship for the sake of friendship like think everyone's capable of making friends i think would be pretty sad especially i mean he has a wife i think that she's his friends i hope so they created a child sometimes i think everyone can have friends. even the craziest people have

friends it's true there's crazy for crazy. nearly two weeks ahead of today's summit a delegation of u.s. republican senators visited moscow a meeting their russian colleagues in a bid to improve souring relations and judging by what they said in moscow everything went pretty well though the senate has changed dramatically when they came back. this is the beginning of a dialogue you see on the screen really better relationship with the. senator shelby told the head of the russian parliament today i'm not here today to accuse russia of this or that or so for if we're serious striving for a better relationship. what's going on.

in the foreign minister he's a book smart i ask that it's all about putin mafia it's all about money and power dealing with putin is like hand-feeding ashore. this is what i said number one shop screwing with america how much. our friends in russia not to interfere in our election stop screwing around in syria i asked for their help. in bringing peace to syria mafia our friends in russia and in washington did you really say stop throw their election you've really said that the foreign minister yes this is the beginning of a dialogue so we'll see. what you said i will understand you're sitting down with the enemy of the united states

and india democracy the problem is that we have a president and states unwilling to confront our enemies on our adversaries and this is exactly why he should not go to this meeting with putin and the need to cancel the helsinki summit or let's bring in some live pictures for you right here on our international of the russian president vladimir putin has arrived at the presidential palace in helsinki however here we have what is. to be the u.s. presidential motorcade now that is just well just cruising down the main capitol streets at a pretty pretty swift speed in the knowledge just coming to a stop in the the presidential motorcade just outside the presidential palace here it is expected that donald trump will exit one of those vehicles in the next few moments now as we know putin has already arrived he is in the holds all of the presidential palace it is expected that trump unproven will do a brief shake for the press before they go with that delegations for private talks

and conversations on any y. spectrum of topics iran syria ukraine north korea you name it it's expected to be on the ballot today for discussion is that we understand that donald trump i'm not i'm a putin are expected to have at least one that was strictly to themselves of course they'll be accompanied by their translators but that is supposed to be it they really are supposed to have some down time as a private conversations live pictures here a beautiful day in helsinki it's one forty seven pm twenty nine degrees celsius and you're watching the international. i think i think this catastrophe unfolding 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 rights 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. and worse of play and drive into bankruptcy. jointly everything on the alex i'm i'm sure and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics school business i'm show business i'll see you then. seventy four design submissions. seven thousand pilings. to join judges. and eight hundred sixty nonstop days of. the russian w.b. a champion. and

a russian up stuff. show you how and why the crimean bridge was built. witnessed the structure moving you need to transport. that will help the cause of crimea. most of those you know what google for more snow you have it a bit but it's clear. he. was only. so happy.

i could have you with us today this weekend a story major escalation in gaza with israel striking back against an alleged hamas rocket attack details now with r.t. but least correspondent paula. 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 must targets after more than two hundred mortars and rockets were fired by palestinian militants at israeli communities living along the gaza border to 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. delta matched the most devastating blow since the gaza war twenty fourteen 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 is. well these have resulted in hundreds of fires on farmland and also on 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 oppose and any ceasefire that allows hamas to rearm itself this tit for tat of airstrikes and rocket launches 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 the israel gaza border and just this past friday thousands more descended resulting in the death of a fifteen year old palestinian boy and israeli soldier being injured in a rare admission mass has said that it launched rockets at israel as a warning and also as a deterrence to stop israel same thing rockets with members of the resistance exercised its right to do that now with senior. israeli aggressors who made martyrs to children by conducting strikes against guards or international mediators hold. a mass position is the occupation started this aggression and has to stop the calmness from that. by calmness from outside but only time the zionists 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. tel aviv we spoke to a political commentator who thinks that both sides are to blame for the latest escalation. well come us does not recognize israel does not even recognize the also agreements which created the palestinian authority come out has more. share of blame but israel too is not blameless because rather than. least. take a corny a serious consideration of the so-called saudi peace and we should be trying to stall and why with these 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. bring in some live pictures for you right now that is downtown helsinki the capital of finland where the motorcade making its way now to watch the presidential right now it's five minutes to two pm there is actually the same as moscow time a beautiful sunny day for this historic summit between the american president donald trump and his russian counterpart vladimir putin of course expectations are high optimism is riding high for this meeting as well perhaps on the table for discussions about will be syria north korea perhaps even you brain. around

a nuclear deal but it's become a real phone in the sides of many well it leaders at the moment of particularly off to donald trump has said that america will no longer recognize all respect the iran nuclear deal that flies in the face of the i.a.e.a. and other western leaders saying the deal is absolutely fine it looks like now we're getting the u.s. presidential motorcade showing up here with donald trump will be in one of those first two heavily presidential limousine as the. putin has already arrived at the presidential palace and downtown helsinki now you know there's been an awful lot of bickering and back and forth ahead of this summit the u.s. establishment as well as at least some of washington's western allies they spared no effort to prevent or at least to spoil today's summit the u.s. media almost competing to provide their audiences just conspiracy theories about possible clues should between trump and putin as as a bit of a new push to promote the narrative that has become increasingly threadbare over

the last couple of years as some of the lists will say hillary clinton lost a rigged election and so they try to blame russia and try to get trump to be able to talk about so-called russia movies and so now is trump was saying no matter how well i do today with putin at this summit i will still be vilified and demonized by the western media whether you know what you the media in western europe in the u.k. in the united states you are getting absolutely painted a picture of chronic pessimism and i'm just nervous but the networks to the east and pilots of the world are showing optimism and encouragement some of said in fact john bolton even said from the washington administration how can it be a bad idea the triumph of finally sitting down in the west politicians have said trump you are looking as though you all week already and you will be pushed around

by putin the if indeed he's colluding with putin why would you want to push him around in the first place in coming to the american president now bought all tribes with his republican red tie coming in now to the presidential palace helsinki presidential palace and up the stairs he will go to meet with his russian counterpart not a smile not even remotely a smile on trump's face a millennia trying donald's wife and yellow. just a couple of steps behind the heavy security continues to move into the presidential palace. so they were primarily it's a way to just to try and restore between the two nations i believe that was. the heavy set man in the. u.s. secretary of state who is a very busy boy these days whether it's with north korea or ukraine or syria he is expected to sit down with his russian counterpart. during this summit today and

here we got a great shot of the president and downtown helsinki finland for today's historic summit some call it the meeting of the year. calling it the meeting of the millennium do stick around here in our live coverage continues very soon. a place for many. so. the ball isn't only about what happens on the beach school it's about the passion from the families it's the

age of the. spending through the twenty million. it's an experience like you know to be true so i want to share. with. the new economic will resume folding in the realm of education the right to education is being supplanted by the right to access education its high education is becoming just another product that can be bullish and sold so there's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business where you could. kind of. want is the place of students in this business model before college i was born now

i'm i'm extremely more high education the new global economic war. both presidents trump and putin arrived in the finnish capital helsinki and are now at the summit venue with their meeting about to begin any minute now this comes against a backdrop of media hysteria and conspiracy theorists. 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. france when the two thousand and eighteen world cup lifting the trophy after a sixty four game tournaments played eleven russian citizens. after a four two victory over croatia in the final.
