helsinki is located between sweden. sweden to the west which is where we're heading right now an then russia to the east. and this used to be russian territory. in the early 20th century. but finland declared the independence after the revolution of 1917. and it never became a territory or it was never occupied by the soviet union. there was some money exchanged between finland and russia and russia also took some of its land so there's been this relationship where you have finland which is western democracy, more -- western european city and russia the neighbor just to the east of it so you had this relationship and that's significant because you will have the russian president coming here and interestingly finland is not a member of nato. that was something else our tour guide brought up today. i assume it's perhaps the opinion of the russians, of the country, such that people here that they want to keep things calm and nice and of course joining nato, next russia, obviously not a member of nato, just a little perspec

relations with the soviet union by outlining a set of human rights principles, the helsinki accordseeted with skepticism by most conservatives because of ford's refusal to meet with people, and because the helsinki accord, in their minds, recognized soviet domination of eastern europe in exchange for agreeing to these human rights principles. by november of 1975, with the republican primaries ahead of them, ford's advisors were telling the president he needed to stop even saying the word detente. detente is a particularly unpopular idea, said his advisor. with most republican primary voters, the word is even worse. we ought to stop using the word, whenever possible. in the same campaign, where we've discussed how jimmy carter was working hard to push his party in new directions, and to win an election based on the promise that he could restore trust in government, conservative republicans were making a strong push in their primaries to move their party to the right. to move it far to the right from where it had been. that was their new direction. and that included moving beyond dete

i think it's important that mr trump is coming to helsinki to meet with mr putin right after the nato summit and what i think a lot of people would like to see from that summit is unity of nato in going then into the talks with the russians but there isn't a unity there you have a very very i would say irreconcilable anti russian position of poland the baltic states to some extent romania but with the rest of the alliance it's much more mixed with the germans for example they want to see that north stream to build and they don't want the united states threatening sanctions against countries that participated in the new italian government the new government in austria. there are governments in within nato that of course and austria not a nato member but within europe who don't want to see this pointless enmity with russia continue so i don't think mr trump will be coming to meet with mr putin with any kind of unity behind his back so trump will meet with vladimir putin after attending a nato summit is that going to be kind of a difficult balancing act you have in the preterit at best h

it's confirmed that vladimir putin and donald trump will hold their first official summit in helsinki more lot after this break. surface ship is very valuable and very competitive so so far we go to do something to be competitive also as a footballer and therefore we know from when we come back to the next month which all of this knowledge is and we can perform that some. others are they just thought is drastic to us it has taken care of our cars just please stand up for me you could function most of them from the cold being from the first car i would just. as static. the problem is that we kind of have a speed within that state they call an ice it's not part of sweden. and i want to talk to some people who have money. and know know and pacing up stuff stop stop stop stop you know. my culture is a christian country and we don't do things like that and we will tell you if you do then we hate you and someday hopefully people do something about you to stop. we cannot be naive about this to not attract more gangsters rapists and these but it's actually that are tearing down this city and

donald trump is off to meet president putin in helsinki next month.mining the british position and should he be meeting vladimir putin? i think meeting putin is no bad thing. there is a concern, is this going to undermine nato? if he made some sort of bilateral deal with putin's russia, would it undermine nato? i think we are looking at this through the wrong end of the telescope. there is one thing undermining nato and bear in mind that there is the nato summit on the iithjuly, before his trip to the uk, and i think of all the things that will happen on that trump visit it is the nato visit that could be the most confrontational. 29 members of nato, just more than a handful of them paying the bare minimum of 2% a year. how is that going to look if he's slapping nato chiefs over the wrist while currying favour with vladimir putin? he has been ever since the campaign talking about nato. i have been 100% behind him. i think it is an outrage that a country as wealthy as germany should deliberately be paying half into the club in terms of a contribution o

will see some kind of comment from nato leaders about what developments come out of this meeting in helsinki. clear we cannot escape the big elephant in the room with the suspicion of collusion between russia and the troll campaign even if there were no collusion as trump has always claim this summit will not be good p.r. for president truong or will well certainly not for the international actors we just spoke about domestically it depends a little bit obviously the ongoing investigation into alleged meddling in the twenty sixteen elections being carried out by special counsel robber muller it's a very divisive issue here those who believe that it happens i really believe that deeply and those who don't think that it is a witch hunt as trump has called it so for those who don't who think that this is all a lot of to do about nothing at this trip will just show that president trump is a showman we saw him taking a meeting with the north korean leader kim jong un in singapore recently of course and he'll be looking for that photo opportunity with vladimir putin in helsinki as well of course u

but of course all eyes will be on helsinki as they meet. and i think that there are multiple concerns going on here. the first is what they actually discuss which i'm slightly less concerned about. i don't think we'll get any breaking news story that a gives us any update on the russia investigation into the american elections in 2016. but i think what will be more interesting is to see what comes out of it from a policy perspective. we're living at a time where donald trump will slap tariffs on his allies. so anything seems fair game almost when it comes to a new donald trump meeting. and i think that is what i'm slightly more worried about and what we should be looking out for. >> certainly worried too if he gives vladimir putin and russia concessions and doesn't get anything in return. kate andrews, joining us there in london, many thanks for your time. >>> they do something just because they love what they do. they don't do it for praise. they don't do it for the money. they do it what you they care about this community. >> that was the
