by about a bosco and i was there as rory challenge president putin rory has handed the world cup football over to the amir of russia twenty eighteen and twenty two are going to be very different tournament something. yeah they absolutely are mainly two countries were given their respective world cups at the same time back in two thousand and ten and at a moment when the for governing body for world football was in a huge amount of scandal well today was about celebration it was about celebration of what has just happened in russia and about how for the future what's going to happen in four years time you're right these two world cups are going to be dramatically different for one thing you have russia one of the biggest the biggest country in the world handing over to footballing whoredom and that's going to be held in one of the smallest countries in the world russia's population is some one hundred and fifty million plus cats ours is less than one million of the native cats ari's. you have the expanse is fans have had to travel in this world cup thousands of kilometers from kalin in gra

rory interesting isn't that. when he was asked about this meeting that's coming up with mr putin on monday in helsinki he said this is all very loose and we'll see what happens it was incredibly rare seemed incredibly relaxed about it. well that's kind of the donald trump style isn't it he seems to go into the very very high profile high pressure summits having done not very much preparation indeed he seems to make. out that this is a good thing that kind of flying by the seat of his pants is a way for him to be allow to the opposition and to do what he does best get the deal that's the trump way isn't it but i think the russians certainly vladimir putin will be coming into the helsinki summit having made a great deal of preparation also having being having paid close attention to what trump has been doing over the last few days there have been watching his ball in a china shop routine that he's been doing at the nato summit he will be producing will have watched what trump has done with is sort of questioning of the u.s. commitment to nato and i think will be rubbing his hands with a certain amount of believe ove

well rory today's the main day of the break summit the wednesday was dominated wednesday's agenda was dominated by business and with putin's arrival today the leaders of the world's most with the world's leading economies are set to sit down together for the for this anniversary summit in less than an hour's time from now at least according to the show the word we hear from the ground is that this year's gathering will be quite unlike compared to anything that we've seen previously and that's mainly because well you have to look basically out the goals that the brics countries are pursuing when they when the nations when the world's leading. developing economies were first kind of again bonding together and kind of you know speaking to each other they defined their goals as well first and foremost is of course accelerating their own economic growth and the past few years have shown that the countries are very much committed to that also they formed a new global bank under the name of the new development bank and also one of the main goals is of course being serving as sort of a counterbalance to the more traditional. econo

putin russia of course the host of the twenty eighteen world cup to the. cats who are hosting the next world cup tournament in twenty twenty two let's bring in rory chalons who was listening to that exchange with a painful through all the translators but nonetheless. a pretty lighthearted event rory and what a great success. russia's world cup has been by anybody's measure. yeah has been it's been a great month i think and the sun is just setting now on russia twenty eighteen we have just one match to go don't we've got the final between france and croatia kicking off in a little while here in in moscow it's going to bring the curtain down on why it's been a pretty exciting month by any any measure i think russia has hosted johnny infantile you know calls just a couple of days ago the best world cup ever russians have enjoyed it i think the fans who come here have enjoyed it too and in that ceremony just there we go i think you know fairly uncontroversial hand. from. the russian president. to the emir of. gianni in front of the president basically overseeing the event and saying that he hoped that the same positive experience that everyone's had here in russ

over to moscow and chalons our correspondent in russia rory in just a few days president trump will sit down with the russian president vladimir putin for their first one on one summits in finland how is all this this unity among nato allies being viewed by the russian government and what will president putin make of the comments by trump about germany being captive to russia because of his energy needs. well one of the interesting things think today for me is that there has been pretty much zero response from officialdom in russia to what's been going on of this nato summit there's been nothing from the kremlin or expose person dmitri prescott there's been nothing from the foreign ministry there is a car over the spokes for person there has been nothing from the usual mouthpieces in the russian duma the parliament here it seems like this might be coordinated that there might have been some sort of order that has gone out to stay quiet about this because i presume of this upcoming meeting in helsinki trump and putin and i think that the russian leadership does not want to i think muddy the waters too much or rock the boat basically
