3:01 pm
there you're watching r.t. international start this hour with breaking news to you because violence has broken out on the streets of hamburg during a mass demonstration against the g. twenty summit police deployed water cannon and to gas against protesters who were throwing bottles and reportedly refused to remove six. i. was i think leon i was. i. was pleased because i was i was i was.
3:02 pm
losing i do sleep. ok well as for scenes from the last hour or so i would get the latest now from peter oliver he's in hamburg force to what is the situation like in the mine. and i'm. right i've just come back to the end of the report on the one of the main nightlife district seen on days the demonstrators that had been only fish market down by the quay side where the scenes that you've just seen took place where water and we used pepper spray and it was clashes between the police and demonstrators
3:03 pm
some of those have made their way up here and we now see a new police line it's been for around this intersection here that is filling with with demonstrators and police probably not going to the police vehicle is is just reversing the over to my left hand side as i'm speaking to you. very fluid here very much moving very much developing we all see sporadic pockets of violence of tension certainly popping up around the city in particular around this area as i say at the end of the report. over to my left shoulder you may be able to see just in the distance there's a large crowd a large crowd gathering anyway not as large as what we saw on the key site who are we hearing from from those people who were they i spoke to a woman who had just come out of what he described as sporadic masing by the police the use of pepper spray that used rather liberally there in his opinion he'd been
3:04 pm
going to trial in the eyes a bigger part if you're struggling to hear me it is very loud here as you can as you can hear. what we've also seen is an. when i've been speaking to the. biggest fear was seems to have come true they hadn't received any specifics from the police where they were allowed to march they took this to mean that they suggested route was located in the past and we have seen the. police say. only. for it to be immediately catch hold outs if you will and it seems that. it's worlds cools the the tension. alternately boiled over resoled many people many thousands thousands of people down on the side here waiting for the start of this. welcome to hell demonstration that welcome
3:05 pm
extended to the g. twenty leaders seems to be inflicted upon the city of homs now there is a party atmosphere in some senses however it's a little more sinister we've seen people being tear gassed we've also seen vehicles that have been said. this is have the potential to continue like this. as long as it can continue that doesn't seem to be. plenty of people willing to be out on the streets and it's a nice night for sleep in all honesty it's not a bad night to be out on the streets it's not like they've got. people inside i think we could well see people for quite a long time certainly the police presence here we're hearing around twenty thousand police officers committed to. the largest weeks operation of modern police and modern german history however. demonstrates it being a big city there's
3:06 pm
a lot more different different streets that they can run down that they can get to and of course another demonstration basically. what we saw with the truck that you might not be able to see but i can describe to you is a truck that's in the just over my left shoulder now it was blasting out music it has a ph system where people are announcing from there that just arrived here about fifteen twenty minutes ago now it's the center of another demonstration it's taking place that's the way it's working here at the moment there is no front line of the demonstrations it is moving very fluidly. ok thanks peter we'll be coming back. with that with the latest from hamburg from pedro thank you. what is the chaos or ups on the streets there world leaders have started to arrive in the german city of hamburg for that g. twenty summit which begins on friday and during the talks there will be a number of crucial issues for them to address the many currently unable to see eye
3:07 pm
to why. those knocked out. china i don't want china dictating to me shine through china there is anger that we are left alone the czech republic has taken twelve poland and hungry have taken execrate not good enough no. good as it is the new civil suit with the. tone to dissent is when if. every decision will be made to benefit of american workers protection will lead to great prosperity and strength of the globe people believe indeed that this is not
3:08 pm
soon to put takes in this most recent the ellington leaked the name to but you can . well the u.s. president on trump has arrived in germany and the most anticipated meetings will be between him and the need is of russia and germany really if frank was in hamburg for some stand i want to expect from the top. there's nothing you can do about it first of all this summit will be watched because of the first ever meeting between donald trump and of lot of our program we'll see if they can do something about all the issues that news anchors all around the world have been going on about in the last months or maybe even the ears that is syria north korea and ukraine but despite possible flyable steps that could
3:09 pm
be made after the me. reading of a perhaps two of the most important men in the world the media have been generally focusing on the trump russia collusion story all over again if you think that the subject of russian interference in u.s. elections is going to come out well it certainly sure appears unlikely that the president will confront putin why on earth would he not send a very clear message to putin on that absolutely would be a mistake he's going to convey to putin that he's weak. and shriek number two how will mr trump get along with the german chancellor the host merkel just take a look at some of the things the german leader said recently that is something you didn't really expect a german leader to say and the last decade or so and also her election program were a member of the elections in germany are coming up in a few months is there an angle of merkel referred to the u.s.
3:10 pm
as part there is instead of friends that berlin and washington are not such big friends anymore could we have seen that come in maybe take a look why. thank you. ok. thank you for. you right. now highlight number three is of course turkey and the participation of the turkish president. we have seen many issues with him taken part in the summit even before the g twenty get together began for example apparently they couldn't find a place in the event where the turkish president could give a speech then there were difficulties i guess it is fair to say as usual with the tapered one security guard speaking let's. into hamburg and of course the latest
3:11 pm
news the biggest news of thursday the european parliament and now it's meant that turkey's e.u. accession talks will be suspended if ankara implements the constitutional overhaul that was backed by referendum in april which will expand the powers of the turkish president. so these are the things that we'll all be watching for you here in hamburg at this big g. twenty summit. discussing some of it now with political commentator and. she joins us from place to say you had l. all eyes on. trump what are your expectations for that meeting. well let's hope actually something that will come out of it but i think a word of caution. present actually comes as.
3:12 pm
sort of facing hostile atmosphere of hostile atmosphere back home in america hostile atmosphere opposite from britain most of the european union leaders. are quite hostile to him we have seen thawing of relations with the french president extending an invitation to him for busfield day but in germany he will need to appear to be tough so he probably will make some lip service tough talk against russia. but i think that's probably he will have to do that for a new domestic audience and to gain some brownie points in europe in general but i think probably deep in his heart he was looking forward to that meeting with the first meeting and he admired president putin admired to him by probably he would say also that it was under all. this variation with the russian relation to stall
3:13 pm
to talk about you know posturing as you mentioned there adel i mean not so long ago he just said didn't need it russia should stop supporting hostile regimes such as syria and iran i mean he says something like that publicly do you expect that time to be taken into the meeting would you think perhaps he will be more conciliatory when he speaks to peyton. well i mean i'm like. probably his. counterpart president putin is the man he has been in the political game for a long long find it even before he actually becomes a president prime minister and president again. that is actually you can't pull this kind of experience on the president from below came from totally different world so will he conduct the talk as a businessman maybe he would say one thing to get a good deal and then inside the meeting we'll have
3:14 pm
a more of businesslike talk or will actually have to wait and see or who will keep up this thing because we have seen some kind of. intended consequences on the ground in syria which actually limited duration of a goal should both be achieved which is fighting the islamic terrorism yeah would you expect any major announcement as a result of the meetings between putin and trump another would lead us to mean a new sort of shopping list the things you're listening out for what weeks what would you expect to hear probably will expect some kind of. parallel to the tough talk in public and press conferences perhaps in the joint communique and probably will be looking into further they will be looking for joint points joint blog fighting ferrers like throwing to deal with the climate change like flying to deal with the three again although we have
3:15 pm
seen the difference between angela merkel the german chancellor and between trump on. protectionism for example saw the might try to find some kind of joint point because this is the again the first meeting there present with and been the by them for a long time and i think it's probably be unwise to emphasize differences so i expect even if it's true we communicate we would be surprised to find a point of. interest in the community at the very least a positive veneer i don't always thank you very much that was. journalist and commentator thank you. been used to people have reportedly been killed at least nine others injured in a suicide blast in the syrian city of hama syrian media say the attacker detonated an explosive belt at
3:16 pm
a bus station no one has claimed responsibility so far it was the second terror attack in government held territory in less than a week on sunday a car bomb killed twenty people in damascus. meanwhile fierce fighting is taking place is the syrian democratic forces are pushing islamic state out of the city of racker kurdish fighters have breached through the walls of the old city for the first time r.t. went to the front line. was. not possible. i. don't know. what the u.s. secretary of state has said that america would potentially be willing to deepen cooperation with russia in fighting terrorists in syria with the details on that is
3:17 pm
more aghast yes. well the tone of the statement was somewhat neutral more so than we've come to expect it was even corporative but there were its own twists and turns in it for example the united states said that it is open to working with russia on stablish a no fly zone over syria working out to gether a joint mechanism when the united states talks about no fly zones there's a lot of suspicion everybody remembers what happened in libya where the u.s. and its nato allies established a no fly zone for humanitarian purposes to ease the suffering of civilians only for it to turn into a we fly you don't deserve where the united states bombed you know gadhafi his father his fighters his military anyone and wanted with impunity and nobody else could fly up in the skies it was also an interesting bit about chemical weapons
3:18 pm
where the united states said that russia has an obligation to stop assad from staging any further chemical attacks the key word here being further because it was never stablished for a fact that assad carried out any chemical attacks by an international body an international investigation take the latest attack that happened in april this year the o.p.c. w organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons which was investigating it then investigators didn't even go to the next was what the gas used was they were given those samples by rebels the other thing about chemical weapons is that washington says russia has an obligation by the same logic you can hold the united states responsible if any of its allies like the s.d.f. syrian kurds or for example the iraqi military if they resort to immoral or illegal methods of war like torture the russian foreign ministry also warned that they have
3:19 pm
evidence that. isis is preparing provocation for false flag chemical attack in syria to draw the united states in them on the topic of provocations and fake news the russian foreign ministry also expects a retraction and correction from c.n.n. we're talking about the boy that became iconic an icon of the battle of aleppo what the civilians there went through with you know much of the big media mainstream media rallying behind him saying look this is what the russians and the syrians are doing in aleppo the russians have promised not to forget that story until a retraction and a correction is issued by c.n.n. . gansey of their earlier this week russia turkey and iran met in a stunner for another round of talks on syria's reconciliation and after two days of negotiations they agreed on a plan for the escalation zones in syria with the final details expected by the end of august we heard from the russian president's special envoy to syria here's what
3:20 pm
he had to say. that isn't the kind of i feel positive about the results of the latest round of talks on syria although there haven't been any major steps forward it's still all moving in the right direction toward stabilizing the situation and finding a peaceful way out of the syrian crisis we probably haven't achieved all of our goals we aim big therefore it's not always possible to achieve the desired goals at least for now. look at the cover. and i don't think we have any disagreements on the deescalation zones that everyone understands this term deescalation zones has become a set phrase meaning as zone under the control of the moderate and radical opposition for such zones of deescalation have been drawn up the main difficulty today is to agree on the borders of the deescalation zones it is tough because working with maps while sitting somewhere in ankara moscow or tehran is impossible
3:21 pm
there is always a need to be present there on the ground it's important for the fate of the people living there any ceasefire very much depends on how we manage to agree on these boundaries. because of. the bombing of the syrian army deserves only condemnation there is no excuse for striking the government's army as it's fighting terrorists we believe the actions of the us in eastern syria to be absolutely unacceptable and we believe the u.s. should allow the syrian army access to the border with iraq so that the border can be brought under full control as soon as possible we hope that after i salute destroyed there there will be no place for american army units in syria if they are not invited by the government. well syria was also touched upon in donald trump's speech in warsaw he struck a very different tone though to listen u.s. president called on russia to end its support for quote hostile governments in
3:22 pm
syria and iran statement comes a day before he is due to meet with that image putin on the sidelines of the g. twenty so they're discussing all of this now and the recent developments we may know one a she's a writer and political analyst covering middle east politics charmaine let's start with what trump has said that russia should stop supporting hostile governments in syria and iran i mean for the people that were hoping perhaps for some sort of constructive dialogue between putin and trump is that going to help when they meet tomorrow. no it isn't you know there are some clear sides over here and i think trump is you know muddying the waters even perth or you know between him and his secretary of state and his u.n. ambassador nick i you know there is no cohesive message where the u.s. is concerned and they're certainly not in the position of strength now to dictate what others should and should not do the americans have lost many of their
3:23 pm
perceived interests in syria and lack of the leverage so i don't think it's helpful it's just posturing why do you think we see this difference in tone them between the secretary of state and the president. one can only guess about i don't think we've seen anything like this in a long time i can certainly remember you know a recent president and his foreign minister a secretary of state disagree or earth seeming to disagree in public so much you know i mean maybe we go back to what trump would say during his campaign he talked about not letting his adversaries know or understand it. and he seems to like to keep his adversaries off balance but what works in a corporate boardroom or corporate negotiations doesn't actually invest heavily at all working with other over since the sensitive matters of international relations
3:24 pm
so what can we expect more of them when the to meet him. when they come out what would you expect to hear. and i think you know i don't know the new tell or some tone makes us wonder if he is actually floating a new idea the g twenty would be an appropriate place to float it because the americans perceive that they have all allies in the g twenty european countries that cetera that could help force a new direction in syria at this point though the american. i have lost so many of their. jack to were serious concern to me i says being defeated being defeated not by american forces it's been defeated primarily by syrian forces syrian ally or. the other militant groups are either being you know struck or. annihilated or there and entering into reconciliation agreements with the syrian
3:25 pm
government so i think what the new tone from teller's. if trump continues is really to try to get a foothold in on whatever syrian solution lies the hat because there seems to be no advantage on the ground or not much on the ground the americans as they enjoyed. as early as a year ago so i think that's what they're going for at the g. twenty talks ok it will be interesting to see what comes out of that meeting we'll leave it there and i don't know any political analyst covering middle eastern politics thank you. by russia's tonight media reports claiming that. the u.n. security council has blocked a statement on north korea's latest launch of a ballistic missile. joins us now from new york with the details could even can it so that what's what's being said exactly. well the
3:26 pm
russian mission is adamant that this statement that was released by reuters this news article that was released by reuters claiming that russia was blocking a u.n. security council measure was just in accurate the statement from the russian mission says the information doesn't correspond to reality based on some data russia suggested that the united states is the author of the draft statement make some changes but they went on to say we want to emphasize it was the regular process of negotiating a draft statement and now the united states is in the process of drafting a resolution in response to north korea's recent missile launch and russia is in the process of negotiating with the united states about that statement now yesterday at the u.n. security council we saw the united states threaten military action against north korea in response to the missile launch and. russia also condemned this missile launch and go on to say though that sanctions are not a cure all and urge a diplomatic solution to the crisis on the korean peninsula so this report from
3:27 pm
reuters according to the russian mission is inaccurate the claim that they are somehow blocking the resolution is simply not what's going on according to the russian mission this is simply the negotiating process they suggested some changes and it is quite disturbing that something so inaccurate would be would be. circulated by mainstream by mainstream media as russia is simply trying to negotiate an achieve a diplomatic solution to the crisis on the peninsula. and the line from the states thank you. north korea's. has been hearing from analysts it's america's response which is risking pushing the crisis into. but north korea launched a missile that wasn't intended to hurt anyone and it did not hurt anyone and what we saw at the united nations today was the continuation of the spectacle in which
3:28 pm
the united states and her increasingly view are lies or using by the international body of peace as a climate of global apartheid to justify and rubberstamp wars and saying sions which amount to war they're going to be watching today's proceedings they're going to hate the united states even more than they already do they'll see russia and china is countries which don't necessarily always agree with them countries which on allies to them but countries which do not wish them and the people home countries but want to engage in peace the countries that could end up saving north korea from american aggression and they will smile upon that surely they're not provoking the international community that's the spin based on washington's dominance in the international community at the united nations just three weeks ago the united states carried out a bomb a nuclear bomb dropping drill that simulated the nuclear destruction of north korea nobody called their provocative where north korea sends off
3:29 pm
a missile test saying we're not going to be bullied that's provocative so you know the question the narrative of north korea's provocations in and provocative activity in the face of the united states and south korea carrying out the largest war exercises in the world simulating the destruction the invasion and destruction of north korea while that's never considered a provocation and that just doesn't ring true that's a double standard and we need to stop accepting the dominant narrative offered by washington so young and its missiles have again been stealing the headlines over the past few days alone some outlets have apparently not been careful with their story sources using tweets my fake user account in north korea. if mum .
