. >> my fellow americans, it was just yesterday that i returned from my historic moscow summit meeting from general secretary glover talk, and it so happens later this month, i will be visiting canada for an economic summit with the leaders of the world industrialized nations. i thought i would take a few moments to tell you about both. first, my meeting in moscow, the event that held perhaps the first immediate historic importance to place on wednesday. it was then that general and i exchanged the instruments of ratification, bringing into effect the inf treaty. the effect of this treaty will be very simply to eliminate an entire class of u.s. and soviet intermediate range nuclear missiles. the significance of the treaty can hardly be overstated. for the first time ever, the levels of nuclear arms will actually be reduced rather than having caps placed on their growth. these missiles have not simply been shuffled around on a map or placed in storage, they will have been dissed -- to storage -- destroyed. the general secretary and i made important progress in other areas as well. we mo

gorbachev, i held other meetings with monks at a monastery in moscow, with monastery in moscow, with nearly 100 dissidents and refuseniks, men and women who worked for years and freedom to speak, to assemble and to travel. at moscow university with students, indeed with the very students likely to become the soviet union's next generation of leaders, to the dissidents, refuseniks, i was able to say the people of the united states and elsewhere support you. to the students, i suggested there is another way to live and govern your country. a way of democracy and economic growth. a way in which creative human energies are released. if anyone had suggested even as recently as ten years ago, an american president would one day be able to meet with soviet dissidents inside moscow itself or be able to speak to soviet students in their own university about human freedom, well, i think you'll agree the prediction like that would have been dismissed. but this past week it happened. seeds of freedom and greater trust were sewn. and i just have to believe that in ways we may not even be able to

three days in moscow. great theater, the very least. >> the trip to moscow wrote itself. the great cold warrior and the heart of the evil empire. literally, in red square. you knew this would be very special. >> i distinctly remember him getting on the plane,on somebody asked a question. what are you looking for? he said something like, sometimes do act is to act. that was his other line. the moscow summit come it was a summation. reagan was always true to his beliefs. >> he truly believed this much, that for all the talk about, gorbachev was kidding himself if he thought he could reform the soviets union into a productive society. soviet sense that the unions were not ready for real change, the people were. he intended to make his case to them. it's impaired that the president wanted to send a message. not just to america, but to the russian people as well. we really care about you. we wantbo to see you okay. says, "ronnie wants to go to a a park to walk among the people." the secret service says well, e don't think so. they pointed out that the leaders just don't go wal

thanks very much for the analysis we're going to take our seats for the second half with him back to moscow. thanks joe see giving up summation there of an action like a cracking first half to one and the second half just the bye to begin in a few moments by the way we've got our own lineup of course to bring the best to be outness figure on world cup final day first of all we're going to try and go to france whose country of course is leading to charlotte dubin ski is they're all trying to link up with her in a little while because i imagine the scenes were pretty epic and also a lot of people after the fun fast in moscow eager to get down off is there as well keeping an eye on all the action there as people who maybe couldn't have tickets for the final were able to go and celebrate their we'll be with our correspondents in just a moment but really right throughout the entire tournament our correspondents were covering marches meeting fans doing all about and they collected a lot of great memories from the championship we'd like to share some of them right . i should have been taken over b

and probably moscow does not like to tehran does not like moscow and moscow probably does there is muchn either. if we will have a peace conference in the region, iran must be invited, recognizing iran's interest in that part of the world. iran also as a potential market for major energy deals. there are other major deals already in progress on the table. third, moscow has always tried to create a block in the middle east of states that support it against the united states's efforts to be the unilateral security force in the middle east. now that we are foregoing that quest, the creation of this block becomes all the more attractive and vital for russia. it so happens that they created this block in 1978-1979 -- i might be the only person in the room who remembers that -- it was called the rejectionist front. oddly enough, those are the same three states they want to create a block with now. not necessarily a block, but a working partnership. interestingly enough, they are all shiite. iran is important from that point of view, but at the same time, the russians know that what is most imp

the words of donald trump hours before today's summit taking place trump took to twitter to say that moscow washington relations have never been worse thanks to years all foolishness and stupidity by the u.s. of course during his election campaign and after his own operation trump repeatedly said that he would like to have better relations with russia which had already sourwood on the last leg of barack obama's second presidential term over issues such as syria and ukraine however under trump's administration sign sions have been slapped on moscow diplomats have been expelled and russian diplomatic compounds have been so much the u.s. establishment as well as at least some of washington's western allies have meanwhile spared no effort to prevent or at least to spoil today's forthcoming summit the u.s. media almost competing to provide their audiences with conspiracy theories about possible collusion between trump and putin as a renewed push to promote the narrative that has become increasingly thread to bed over the last couple of years now moscow sees today's summit in helsinki primarily a

you could build more hotels you know no more make moscow great again. no idea why do you think that i just think is too much is too shady to not be i think the top thing to say isis guide to the idea of innocent till proven guilty just sounds crazy so ridiculous. but not much it's not my kind of friend but only if there is something in it for him not friendship for the sake of friendship think everyone's capable of making friends i think would be pretty sad especially i mean he has a wife they think that she's his friends i hope so they created a child sometimes i think everyone can have friends. even the craziest people are friends it's true there's crazy for crazy. nearly two weeks ahead of today's summit a delegation of u.s. republican senator has visited moscow meeting their russian colleagues in a bid to improve relations and judging by what they said in a moscow everything went pretty well though the senate has suddenly changed dramatically when they came back. this is the beginning of a dialogue. not a strain really a relationship. senator shelby

well those were amazing weeks with people rejoicing on the streets of moscow and other cities and for other cities it is even more remarkable because in the rush hour we have more foreigners and we're more used to international events of course not of that scope what of course was totally amazing was these crowds of people speaking in different languages or repped up in their national colors the flags and painting their faces and the russians totally welcoming and as happy as the guests and happy to show rusher as indeed a hospital and welcoming country forgetting that the world was up against russia forgetting that in the myth that the foreigners were enemy is the national media have a profile in the for for at least a few years now so it was indeed. i think one muscovites. in your food a gulp of fresh air it was unlike anything else that we've seen in the past two years so maria wants more close to the truth closer to the truth this open friendly country or the hostile enemy of the west. well i think it's more complicated than no country is just one thing and it is indeed true that

tens of thousands rallied in the streets of moscow. the biggest protest there since the fall of the soviet union. >> people were hanging off lamp posts, people were in the streets. really shocking. >> putin was now living the same nightmare he had endured as a kgb officer in east germany in 1989. this time, in his own backyard. and he wasn't even president at the time, he was prime minister. having handed the presidency over to his associate, dplitry. >> as the winter went longer and longer, it got colder and colder, the protests got bigger and bigger. >> as putin saw people turning against him, hillary clinton weighed in. >> the russian people, like people everywhere, deserve the right to have their voys heard and their votes counted. >> when putin hears something like that, i imagine he hears bush talking about a guam hussain. he shares that as death coming for me. the tiny dead lead from power, what the hell do you know opinion my people and how they should have their voices heard. i'll tell you if they should have their voices hear

from here in moscow, it is now back to you. thank you. the brother of charlie rowley has been speaking about what happened to his brother. i think we have to be careful with this information because it has not been confirmed by the metropolitan police. the metropolitan police said they had identified the source of the nerve agent. they said it was contained in agent. they said it was contained in a small bottle. it was in the flat of charlie rowley but now we have a claim from his brother, who spoke to the bbc and said it was actually in a perfume bottle. it appears that he has told his brother that information. it would also seem to have been passed on to the police but as i said we have had no confirmation from the metropolitan police of that information. the metropolitan police are putting out a lot of detail, as much as they can but they have not confirmed that. they have previously said people should be very careful about what they pick up. they should not pick up they pick up. they should not pick up things from the ground in that a

french friends in moscow are experiencing a familiar feeling for the third time in the last six world cups. in the final. thanks for asian fans and footballers going where no croatians have gone before the creation same may not be looking quite as fresh faced as they were for their pre-tournament photographs all three of the knockout games have gone to extra time so they've affectively played an extra game when compared to france croatia strength is their ability to dominate possession in midfield with players like luka moderates and even rockets each and the danger posed by their white players even parasitical be able to exploit the inexperience of french fullback benjamin pavano many of their key players including moderates all the wrong side of thirty this is their one chance to win football's biggest prize listen it got. me the most important thing is to never give up and believe in yourself and just push forward no matter what is in your way there are ups and there are downs but wherever happens you need to continue to believe in yourself and that the french have a generation of

england savoured victory in moscow last week. now they're back in town and determined to stick around for sunday's final. # world in motion... # it's now 28 years since new order's world cup anthem, world in motion. back in 1990, croatia didn't even exist as a country. it's an entire generation since gazza's tears, lineker‘s worry and england's defeat to west germany. it's even longer, though, since england got their hands on the prize. it's 52 years since england last won the world cup. it's still gleaming, as are the current team's hopes. gareth southgate wants his players to make their own history

even know that he was in moscow. please just disregard those issues and don't think about this any more again. >> i have to say, if they had it, it would have been out long ago. >> when president trump was in moscow back then, i didn't even know he was in moscow. >> this whole day has been amazing. i don't know if trump is a puppet, a dupe or a useful idiot. but the whole issue of putin not knowing trump was in moscow. we report that trump was trying to get a meeting with putin all through his time in moscow back in november 2013 and he was in contact with putin's right hand man and chief spokesperson who he said they were trying to work it out but there was a scheduling issue at the end of the time and it couldn't happen. but putin then even sent trump a gift later, small little black box with a sealed letter inside from putin that we have never known. we have never been told what that letter to trump said. so why putin would get out there and say, i didn't even know he was there when there was plenty of media cover

lawmakers visit to moscow on july fourth with republican surrendering to russia soon britannic the no longer seems to be a question that the kremlin controls the g.o.p. but eight g.o.p. senators suspending july the fourth twenty eight hundred in moscow troops preparing for his visit my working theory is the senate is making sure everyone knows exactly how putin likes to be serviced. now you would think that people would be optimistic about the hope that perhaps the united states and russia could start getting along and there certainly are a number of forces in the usa that are optimistic about the upcoming meeting but based on the reaction of these republican senators visit to moscow it seems pretty clear that there are certain forces that simply are not hoping the two countries can repair relations. one way to go. thank you very much the key. american lawyer in genesis glenn greenwald is best known for publishing the documents disguised by the whistleblower edward snowden greenwald is currently in moscow for cyber security conference he says much of america's political class believes

misery and moscow? the magic of moscow? gary lineker can see some similarities between the two squad ‘s 28 years apart. i think they have a chance of doing better than we did in italia 90, i don't think they have anything like as strong an opposition as we did, because west germany back then were too graphically strong, comfortably tournament favourites. —— were too graphically strong. the england team seems strong, a reflection of their manager. there are parallels between bobby robson and gareth southgate. they are both doing it in the world cup, fora they are both doing it in the world cup, for a start, they both have real empathy, both clearly have their players busting a gut for them. they both have a genuine passion for the game, which you see released on occasions. ijust took the go one step farther, or maybe two. their last major championship final was euro 96, losing to the germans on penalties. i was behind the goal at wembley when they lost in a penalty shoot out. alan shearer was pa rt penalty shoot out. a

if you build more hotels you know no more make moscow great again. no idea why do you think that i just think is too much is too shady to not be i think that this whole thing to say isis guide to the idea of innocent till proven guilty just sounds crazy so ridiculous. it's. not my it's not my kind of friend but 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 they'd be pretty sad especially if mean he has a wife i think that she says friends i hope so they created a child sometimes i think everyone can have friends. even the craziest people are friends it's true there's crazy for crazy. i had all the time at donald trump tweeted that relations between russia are on the u.s. were at rock bottom blaming his predecessors for the aussies up a trying to now taking a look at some of the topics expected to dominate today's talks. this is really a special time for helsinki the city is living at the moment obviously the finnish capital is no stranger to hosting these kin

, refusing to hold moscow to account. the president has left helsinki and is on his way ba. to washingt if he had hoped this summit would allow him to move on from quesinons of russian rference, he is in for a nasty surprise when he lands back in d.c. christian:on sopel reporting there. maybe it was that moment in the press conference when he was ked about the indictments of 12 russian military officials, ducking the que that did bringsp howls of r not only from democrats but republicans back at home. incapable, th president, to separate collusion from the russia investigation and the findings of histe own igence agencies. when he was asked pointedly about the russian investigation, offnso a off --eered ramblingr about hillary clinton's e-mail servers. he sees the investigation as a deep state plot against him to undermine his election victory and re-freezes point blank to criticize vladimir putin. a lot of people compare that with how other american presidents have behaved alongse russian leaders in the past. think back

he is in moscow. matthew, i'm curious how this is seen in moscow. it strikes me that vladimir putin is running the show on this summit here. it's going to happen. maybe i won't come. now i will come. what's the perception in moscow? >> well, i think it's a very difficult issue for the kremlin to handle. of course, we saw what the dynamic was like in helsinki. i was in that press conference with presidents trump and putin. putin came across as much more dominant. president trump came across as deferential, even submissive at times, which i think was shocking to many people in the audience. people in russia were also shocked as well. state television said that president trump smelt like a kremlin agent. that was the words that they used to describe the u.s. president. so i think the kremlin have kind of backed off a bit, despite this latest invitation. they're concerned that it's gone a little bit too far. they want president trump to deliver on his election promises, to make the relationship better with russia, but they also see that he's not going t

let's go right out of moscow for trying to go first. on our. very warm welcome to from all of us here at r t h q my name stuck on the good thanks for tuning in this hour british foreign secretary boris johnson has resigned he's the third minister to quit in just twenty four hours with all three refusing to back to recent days plans for a so-called soft abroad said. to the you stay as close as possible and it's just been announced the health secretary jeremy hunt will replace him. johnson has now published his resignation letter online he said that should have been about opportunity. but quote that dream is dulling suffocated by needless self-doubt he also claimed the country is now heading towards a somewhat bricks that the status of a colony. has the details on the shock resignation. the u.k. prime minister to resign may faced a tense meeting with tory m.p.'s and peers in parliament today as she was hoping to try and get control of her cabinet admits to all the infighting in her leadership isn't a huge risk out the moment the infighting surrou

in russia moscow accounts for a third or more of g.d.p. in canada toronto accounts for twenty percent of g.d.p. in the united states new york is only ten percent of g.d.p. so in many ways and i'm not trying to make this is a criticism. russia is a more spatially an equal opportunity the top sided lopsided economy so even state led redistribution can't solve this that's telling me something that maybe the way to deal with this is certainly you could use federal redistribution but instead of doing that from the top let the localities keep more money because they are the ones that know how to spend it so if moscow needs more bike lanes i'm making is you know i don't know the situation but if moscow needs more bike lanes and. subway and high speed rail spend it there is an hour wind community needs better roads and bridges better high speed internet speed that there i think this decentralized model could be a way of one being more economically effective into overcoming the cultural and social divides that pit us against one another now and you

here in moscow. that is the england players waiting to get off the plane there. france leading here and we will have more updates on bbc news, but plenty of other sport going on. let's go to the bbc sports centre. let's get straight to the men's tennis final at wimbledon. just over two hours played there. novak djokovic was on top. he led kevin anderson by 2—0. djokovic made light work of the first two sets, winning them 6—2, 6—2 in underan hour. but anderson has shown much more promise in the third set, just failing to convert a couple of set points against the three—time wimbledon champion. we are still in that third set. let's look at some live pictures from bbc two. novak djokovic looking for a first grand slam titles and 2016. all have played epic semifinals. anderson lasted over six hours. djokovic serving to stay in this third set, anderson leading 6-5. both this third set, anderson leading 6—5. both players look pretty weary, especially anderson at the start of this final. but he is showing some fight now, just like he did against roger federer.

and we can talk to dan roan in moscow now. an amazing end to that world cup final, how will we look back on this tournament as a whole? as you can see behind me the heavens have openedin see behind me the heavens have opened in moscow. i don't think the organisers will mind too much. that was a great final. it has been a classic tournament with plenty of drama, great goals, great matches, some new drama, great goals, great matches, some new star is a gripping final and that all reinforces the view that this will be a tournament to beat. it won't be the same again maybe because in four years' time we go from one of the biggest countries in the world as host to tiny qatar. it won't be in the summer, in the middle of the premier league season, in the middle of winter. after that, the entire format of the tournament changes to 48 teams. eight years from now. perhaps this may be the last of a kind. the organisers will be delighted. in terms of security, apart from that pitch invasion here this evening. logistics, transport, not of

richard conway, bbc news, moscow. we canjoin sarah rainsford in red square in moscow. sarah, there's around 10,000 england fans in russia today getting ready for the game. what's the atmosphere like there this morning? looking quiet behind you but lots more england fans are arriving by the hour in moscow? that's right, there haven't been that many england fans here for the tournament but since the win against sweden wibble have been making a mad —— to get here for the semi—final for this moment of football history —— mad rush. lots of people coming who hadn't been planning it. i'm joined by three england fans on the cobblestones of red square, they all have different stories, lots of people paying crazy money for the game. tom, you were watching sweden at home and you decided to come?” was that a wedding and halfway through the ceremony... they were showing the game? people we re they were showing the game? people were watching it between your legs, like you did at school, and everyone was getting rowdy. at half—time i managed to sneak away as they threw

in very sort of remote places only very far from moscow. yamin they all scattered around the continent thinking to wanted some armor that was bill of rights the middle of the forest and some of them do not have top flight clubs they might have a team in the second division which means it's hard to sell them when they've got tens of thousands of seats and perhaps not the audience there and then we haven't seen in volgograd yesterday just as the final was taking place of the slide around the stadium say yes maybe they didn't quite say next to the water bear but that is generated from in russia and in many of these wealthiest honest asian country that require a lot of infrastructure to be built the fact it isn't necessary needs in the long term particularly all the stadia with bus hospitality facilities and obviously the question many russians will have put the put to better use spent on infrastructure away from football where although a lot of questions within russia as to why so much money was spent on stadiums and as rob said so much hospit
