Macron and Putin to meet in Moscow

BBC World Service - Weekend, Macron and Putin to meet in Moscow

France's President is in Russia for the World Cup final.

It's a busy forty eight hours for Vladimir Putin; he meets President Macron of France, who is in Moscow for the World Cup final, before heading off to Helsinki to meet President Trump of the US. We look ahead to Vladimir Putin's two meetings and our correspondent reflects on what hosting the World Cup has meant for the Russian President and for Russia itself. Also on the programme we hear from Deraa in Syria. The government has declared victory over the rebel forces in the area, but aid is not yet reaching the residents.
