for two hours which was more than what was scheduled and they were already running late what do you think that says about the meeting it was more than the kremlin initially a lot of for i mean according to the initial comment schedule but we for example got. time right at this time mr trump and his wife melania were supposed to be living for the airport apparently they just went into their second meeting them more broader four months. i guess suggests they had. plenty to talk about then the fall and the atmosphere that they report that they created between them quite conducive to those discussions and we've already heard that after their one on one meeting trump came out saying that i think it's a good start a very very good start for everybody if so should we be encouraged by those sort of comments they are pretty reserved for trump at least well i mean depending on the what do you. mean i mean he repeated that word very very soon i suppose that he

personally was satisfied with that but. i mean coming into this meeting i'm sure both you and everybody else reported that the expectations were pretty low we are not expecting any major breakthrough deal to come out of it have these people are still talking more or less to your interruption in the bilateral relationship i guess that's a good start of indeed i would agree with the president. and some many are speculating before they were before the summit actually started they were speculating about some grand bargain what trump could give over to putin essentially what do you think about that idea how frightened should they really be the media's really hyping up this idea that so much could be given up well i think i would agree with your formulation that they are hyping this idea and i think they're doing that specifically for the partisan reasons because that reveals a total misunderstanding of how both the russian and american diplomacy work because victor. what do you think about prison putin and president trump it's not

just about their personalities their personal relationships it's also about this truck thing they long history of the bilateral relationship so even if one to give everything to put in he simply could have and i think as far as most concerning. the russians here are very careful they understand that in order to achieve any grand bargain deal they will have to make certain concessions and the chances are either president trouble or his successor will walk away for that. bargain a very very high and russia will go left with all those concessions made and it would actually be expected that russia to comply with those concessions so i think the russians are far more reserved them. admit. any potential deals to be reached during this summit this is not what the russians and expectations are that idea is to just keep the process going and to make sure that

it is actually the experts the scientists. you know all the people who actually deal with the. need to get bilateral relationship aspects of it go to get down to war we're now showing live pictures from the hall where the joint press conference is to take place shortly we do see people filing in little by little but clearly it's not going to be starting in the next few minutes at least we do know that the presidents are sitting down with their aides right now at lunch to have those more expanded biological talks right now so obviously the focus is what we're going to be seeing what we're going to be hearing this this press conference shortly do you think we're going to be expecting any big revelations or is it just going to be straightforward we talked it was good i'm a little be troubled by old the analysis that goes into. you know into. this meeting because. the most we can get from both presidents and i think the most accurate thing would be that yes it was

a good start. whatever it again if you think about both of them they simply cannot reach anything of substance during this meeting because that would require the work of scientists and experts on the subject but. i think we can also be pretty sure that the american media especially the so-called progressive american media will make the most of it in order to portray trump as. somebody who submitted. to president putin even though there's absolutely no chance as far as international politics go for him to make any concessions this is certainly not how politics works the past and the least they can do at this meeting is simply to establish. a good personal relationship that will be conducive to the work that will come after it host of r.t.s. worlds apart next on the point i thank you so much for joining us again to be here . hillary clinton recently tweeted insinuating that president trump is in cahoots

with the russians it seems no matter what happens in helsinki or how hard trump and putin try to improve diplomatic relations some will never be satisfied as more and explains. two years they've obsessed over it one worried about this meeting joked about the relationship i want to state official and that's when the russian. you are you is bruised it will take you. will drop let it be a one hundred one i'm taking you joint statement saying we're best friends blah blah blah and here we are and they finally meet and upon the whole thing the ruling up into a crescendo a tense moment drum thinks it's no big. putin maybe the. 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 friends or enemies 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 doubt reaffirming their bromance mutual admiration society if he is really very much of a leader has 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 sneezed trump would be crucified for

merely saying bless you thing is from strub 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 good will know much more careful politician but trump was able to succeed in business and that means he is a clever man come on the team is more effective during the election campaign sometimes i thought he was exaggerating it was 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 he likes the trade thank you we can you do me a favor we can get out of syria i think and probably have a good relationship with them yeah this isn't going to be easy but at least the talking to nuclear super bows which could destroy the world thrice over lot 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 they've been outed for years all that's left really is the wait and see what happens only time will tell. we continue with our top story the trumpet and summit and healthy right now we're showing the live pictures of the hall where the two presidents will shortly hold a joint press conference the two are currently still meeting with their aides over lunch in hell thinking in the presidential palace and of course we're still joined here in the studio by a box on the boy now i want to ask you you know trump asked to have that meeting with putin one on one there was just the translators there with. is this unusual stuff or is this polling a tradition what can we read into the idea of the two of them being one on one because i'm sure that at least western media is definitely reading into what that

means while western media already portraying it as trump supposedly trying to cover his tracks or hide something behind closed doors but actually there is a history of. kind of format. we haven't had many presidential summit to presidential meetings before but it was usually usually the american presidents who asked for this one and one with the soviet leader i know for a fact that that was the case during the nixon meeting at that it was usually at least from the american point of view an opportunity for them to break the ice an opportunity to build some sort of personal rapport with the soviet leadership apart from all the minders and ideologues. you know such meetings usually involve a certain degree of personal rapport but they get. i would hazard a reading too much into that because. whether these leaders want they're not they

are still constrained by their own bureaucracies by their own domestic politics and . this meeting is no different from all the previous ones especially when the american side and i think that has to be kept in mind and put our western called a little bit at ease. democracy structured in a way that allows them a lot of checks and balances even if one has to sell everything to. be able to do so and i'm pretty sure the mr putin doesn't want to take more liabilities of them he is able to handle well the western me of course loves to talk about trump and putin and given all that's been said about the paris relations we decided to talk to people in new york in order to find out whether they buy the collusion story and trump's role in it as a kremlin agent let's take a quick listen. take a guess. oh man trump love company hope something arrogant for him to.

pull them but i don't know if i could say that i'm cheating what's what's orange in russian. if they don't ski or something perhaps like a tramp ski then that's his name it's got to give away i believe you are so much also so i don't believe. that you keep on doing what you're doing you're doing a great job for russia make sure the two people fly you don't change your wife's tool for most of. you to build more hotels see no more make moscow great again. no idea what even but i just think is too much is too shady to not be i think at the top thing to say isis got to the idea of innocent till proven guilty a self crazed sold because. it's. not

money it's not my kind of friend only if there is something in it for him not friendship for the sake of friendship i think everyone's capable of making friends i think they'd 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 the truth there's crazy for crazy. the hype around the trumpet in summit is of course unless these are live pictures from a hole in the presidential palace in helsinki were a joint press conference is eagerly awaited by the two presidents from and who will of course we'll bring you all of that live here on our to international now and thanks for staying with us here so we were just hearing about some of the ideas that people have about trump and and putin. what do you make of some of the responses well it's actually very interesting to me as a russian because i remember growing up and failing extremely embarrassed by the

leadership of my country i was coming of age during the yeltsin time when you know he was drunk all the time you know conducting the orchestra you may remember those videos of him standing next to clinton including having a lot of this very drunken president and you know that was embarrassing i can relate to that but i can relate to the fact that trump looks very unorthodox to the average american voter he the way he carries himself the way he speaks it is sometimes you know that makes me uneasy too but. blaming that all on russia seems like a very unfair and a very easy way out at the end of the day regardless of whether you believe russians interfered in hacking the. democratic party or not there are millions and millions of americans who voted for trump and there is a certain sentiment that was behind that vote and rather than. running and recycling the story of russia's interference i think it would be in the best

interest of all to actually look at these changes that are happening within the heartland of the united states and to try to understand why people react to the way they react now and before their one on one meeting started trump was listing off some of the things that the two were going to discuss he talked about. china trade nuclear power but he didn't mention some of the biggies that many are expecting of course yes meddling is expected by many but also syria he didn't mention do you think that was just him listing off some things and forgiving a big you but it was definitely on the plate to be discussed anyway well i d's thing syria is likely to be discussed simply because it provides strong with the kind of issue where he can score easy victory on it is not a big secret that russia. of the united states with the help of israel also with the help of for example gulf states like the saudi arabia the united arab emirates

have been able to build some sort of a tactical accommodation in syria so for example the united states. decided not to interfere directly in the offensive government led offensive that is going on in the south of syria and the probably this is a. which is very important as far as cleaning that country from terrorism is concerned at least from the russian the syrian perspective. i think it is believed at least in most could be rainy and united but many analysts and also say that russia d. tried to be. accommodating when it comes to israeli security concerns and tried to act as a a little bit of a go between between. israeli and iranian security sensibilities which is essentially what it wants right we could now show again live pictures from

the hall in helsinki where we are waiting for a joint press conference to be taking place with both presidents putin and donald trump at the presidential palace thank you so much for joining us thank you for your very unique input on today. looking for and seeing you again. now to the climax of the two thousand and eighteen world cup where france became champions on sunday evening and moscow celebrations carry on well into the night and will continue on monday when the winning side meet with their fans and paris from our special studio in the center of the russian capital here all the highlights from the final day of the tournament. everyone welcome back to their must to skyline here it is the day after the evening before after the world cup final and it was the finale we were hoping for were

going to try to wrap up just a few the key points from yesterday's final of course it was a thrilling funds to celebrating they won the trophy for the second time in twenty years good to see of a full two victory of a moscow's luzhniki stadium lots of emotions on display.

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 i'm not saying he's not the penalty because there can be different opinions or wrong i'm saying that the concept of the . ease about important mistakes of the referee and this was not one of these cases so really really does a point to do that in the second off happen what we would expect and then france scored the sort of 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 all the credit for what they did but. in football the realities won it and france is the world champion twenty years off the greatest

bus driver on the planet telling us he didn't like the decision he was controversial swedish michael long suddenly yesterday he was raging at what he saw as a huge mistake that had a big say in the outcome of the game but the credit drama didn't it and make a very exciting. final year was the v. are going to work out for korea sure france and went to where france big gulp thought penalty to one of half time france just went the time and after that the much more it was like for the french but to some people that's twice in a long time they've had thought of exhilarating sensation and it really is a shot of adrenaline just have a look at all the scenes with ike on the streets of the french capital after the final whistle off moment was in amongst themselves to be a light of a. disease being confined to fronts and now the world's got champions i'm nice an eighteen of the season amazing of what you need to eat your experience something of a country lost experience twenty years ago when front's was actually the east

nations and when they won the will come many people believe that they could win this championship going and it was very very strong and i think that they did they team and of course they've done it every stage of the way the fans have been out on the streets and now they've been rewarded with this incredible moment as i have no . i was there you know pretty year for rick scenes they continued to right through the night in a par is about was falling games it turned into something not quite a little bit argue here later and then i take a look. because you was was was. was was.

thank ye. was. the mood here in moscow that remain very festive throughout the. finally and then in the celebrations that followed even top officials were involved in the french team's celebrations gosh there you can see there on this amazing wave of emotion at this point this was to the right after the medal ceremony. that was it. was ok was. that one year i was. there only in front you know when it was very. hot here ok. i. think in english please oh. sorry. was you know was that is it

was it was you. do that it was it was yes it was did i have to you there was a deluge there heading the french monetary during its after game media conferences and it wasn't just inside the weather change a little bit of a thunderstorm for a little while hitting moscow just right after the final whistle in fact it didn't seem to bother the founds who attended the final the one little bit especially the winning team it was one last chance the party the celebration lasted all night and it was particularly. enjoyable in the streets now be made famous by this world cup school nicole scar's been nicknamed the streets lights and it's been a real hot spot for fans throughout this competition you know you're up to twenty years. to start. to see that i've not just the sixty's i wanted to even in

a mood to do is to cheer up you know you. very proud to be cross in most people i was we didn't have a lot to date we've had a lot written before matches and we. oh for florrie years to begin to win in the finals it was very nice to meet you and he would come back as soon as possible this is one of the things that when you look back through history i know i do anyway when i think of one thousand nine hundred six i think mara donna italian ninety world cup ninety four that's how i remember the past it's so good that people here locals russians are able to think russia twenty eight dean i grew up during this time i grew up at a world cup finals in my country and we got to the quarterfinals as well lots of memories on and off the field here one really pleased about as you mentioned some of the great plays and football and obviously they are fundamental to the game but i think more than ever before because we're looking we've been able to bring

a real feel of the atmosphere and of the fans coming together from around the world more than just the football going beyond the game and i was saying yesterday the game it's all about the founds you take them away you've got empty stadiums and a few guys kicking a ball around watch films they were without the phones it is nothing and i think is very important we focus on the fans and and they have been tremendous and this should be how well the world cup should be focused now i think the fans alongside the same level as the plays and entertainment and throw them into that well the world cup here in russia has been recognised as a huge success but not just for the football that's being played although the football was pretty incredible but for the organization of the event there have been worries going into it to some foreign press did not materialize this is what sports officials pundits have been saying. the fantastic world. market it. excellent world excellent

book. before. you know you know. the likes of which i was in the boy's shoulder everything is so nice and the property is secure. say that people are friendly. you might want to. help the story we've seen almost all the strong teams make every effort win their match while both you considered to be weak have been almost on the same level with . the world cup your but i'm stupid to be surprised that one of the biggest achievements is that even customers will be stuck to smile. they don't smile anywhere in the world they say welcome to the wolf pack it's been spectacular people are very friendly fashion you organization being very good at being less upright but i'm very happy with how everything goes.

as so many big name sharing their thoughts their experiences of world cup twenty eight being with us here in russia thank you for the privilege we've really enjoyed having you for the past month one month and one day auction here in russia has been a real pleasure i just want to show you something though because there's a carousel that's been willing around throughout this will cup i kept looking down at it and thinking before it ends i want to go for a ride. and it still kind of sums it all up you know this ride that we've been on the football and emotion has come to an end some time and it has but you know not too long to wait now just four more years of the qualifying in the company and it all saw it up again who knows where will be what will be close to the football thanks for staying with.

that's our wrap up for this hour but of course we are waiting for the joint press conference that will be taking place shortly in helsinki. president trump and president putin we will be bringing you that as soon as it starts. in a world of big partisan newton's laws and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

if you're a political news junkie when you're probably experiencing a serious overdose consider the recent nato meeting trump's visit to the u.k. so called russia gate and the trump putin summit discussing all iran crossed. after a tense you were going underground on the day of the trump putin summit in finland coming up on the show but getting a state senator dick black tells us if he thinks trump can fool the cold war style relations that defined obama era foreign policy and what i did to raise.
