ok also has days of g twenty riots bleich the german city resulting in hundreds of injuries among police testers and despite the trouble there was progress inside as president. held a much anticipated first meeting resulting in a serious cease fire agreement which is now in effect also this hour. i. c n n's accused of blackmailing the creator of the president trump wrestling

clips threatening to reveal his identity if he does something similar again. with the top stories from the past seven days and right up to the moment developments as well welcome to the weekly here on r t international my names you know neal our top story the german city of hamburg is counting the cost stuff during during some of the most violent scenes ever to accompany a g. twenty summit over fifty thousand people gathered on saturday a little while the event will strong call for the world's most powerful leaders. right.

thank you. but. he and sensitive i don't want him to eat. indecent talking to skits funds he's good fits him a good toughness. self's to escape the shootings that i just had the

woman. i needed for a radical left wing protesters from across europe volatilized on looted shops in hamburg be unrest over the past number of days was reportedly left at least two hundred officers injured. tensions have boiled over between demonstrators and the police. i can see the main body of the crowd and i disavow it and as we say i'm lacing every bomb seriously so you can have that really hurt you a kosovan is what can you please describe for me what happened where you were well as far as i could tell they were attacking the demonstration with no reason. she's part of a. civil war the violence was awful and i also don't understand the message they

want to send me his violence he simply tragic. that is a call some form sportscar belief that's been torched here roaming moments of small bits of violence and the police come in to try and put it out war to come and we used pepper spray was used. to. hear the crowd chanting away that on sci fi she's the build of on sci fi chants going on all under the watchful eye if we move the camera over here over the watchful eye of a lot of police officers i do. not wish to keep a bit vigilant here because we are seeing already what's the us flower being thrown at the police just as you can see there we're actually right between the police and the demonstrators right now so we're going to try and get out of the way just well moment while i'm talking to you not the best place to be if. he has

a huge call the police officers that's marching through the city then leading the the demonstrators. i think. it's continued on days over the last twenty four hours now as you can see just behind me does actually. more water cannon arriving at the intersection where i am . they will say a quiet tense scene here just a long time ago whereby a number of bottles were being thrown the police responded with water cannon we see . there is certainly a very large police presence a helicopter flying overhead many other emergency vehicles around but there's also an awful lot of demonstrators here. this is the scene in hamburg as you can see a heavy police presence there just marching past me the older came through from

police that this base in the section here this junction had to be cleared or is a section of demonstrators just over there you may be able to see walt's account and being used every time they try and come close to this intersection they get sprayed back. you can see just over here the advertising hoardings have been vandalized there behind me is a bank that was all it was locked up but it's now also been all smashed up over my right shoulder there i spoke to some of the shop owners that have based here about what they have plans were some were saying they were going to pull them up some saying they were going to wait it out and stay inside the store twenty four hours a day some owners are covering windows so they don't get broken a lot of places are closed so we couldn't work productively because a total collapse of transportation was in my opinion you can't organize the g. twenty two in

a left wing liberal area especially in hamburg which is famous for its demonstrators it is one of the major centers full counter-culture in germany one of the major centers indeed for the fall left here just over my left shoulder is a place called they are well to floor it's a major hub full of left wing groups here and it was from there that a lot. the organizing of these demonstrations originated from of course this area ending up being a little divine and took place on. a huge bronson from the alternative for germany party say's the violence wasn't a great surprise as the city has a reputation for being radically leftist. how big it is well known for its left wing. sometimes extremist views so this shouldn't have been

a surprise for anybody really well i believe that two groups of people who actually travel to to take part in this one group is very peaceful they want to stage their protest they are perfectly in their right every german has the right to assemble freely without weapons it's part of the constitutional law the second group. they didn't want to have peaceful demonstrations they were set for trouble you have these i call them demolition tourists they travel from all over europe and all all of the germany to take part in a protest that is bound to be violent that is bound to destroy shops looting of supermarkets but they had no interest whatsoever in a peaceful protest and sadly this small but very violent group is now attracting all the attention and of course the peaceful protesters are upset because this is not how you should stage your prostate your protest should always always be

peaceful to be heard. well now one of the most watched in countries out the g. twenty was the russian president's first face to face meeting with donald trump and the meeting brought about a potential breakthrough for the syria conflict to the leaders agreed to establish a cease fire in the country which now has come into effect r t seventy super. just more following the first face to face meeting between president trump president putin the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has announced that the u.s. and russia has agreed on a new cease fire in the south western of syria that would take into effect at noon damascus time on july ninth take a listen to the details of this new cease fire to the school that's russia the u.s. and jordan reach a cease fire agreement for syria the ceasefire will come into effect in three areas there. and it will come into force on the ninth of july the u.s. and russia have committed to monitoring the cease fire and ensuring humanitarian access to the areas initially security of these areas will be ensured by russian

military police and close cooperation with the u.s. and jordan now these three southern provinces that lavrov mentioned also share a border with jordan which is also part of this new agreement however another country that these three southern provinces which i believe can show you on a map on the screen now also share a border with israel and this area includes that this golan heights of this area between syria and israel and according to the u.n. is a syrian territory occupied by israel since the sixty's and over the recent weeks there's been a surge of quasi border exchanges of fire and this new the escalation zone can potentially afford such incidents in the future u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson he said this new agreement shows his first indication that the u.s. and russia can work together and cooperate with each other in syria the russian president vladimir putin he also expressed an optimistic tone over this take a listen. regarding whether the u.s. position on syria has changed i think it's become more pragmatic in general it

doesn't seem to change but there is now an understanding that we can achieve a lot with the united effort now bear in mind that this is no doubt a breakthrough in terms of u.s. russia relations showing that the two countries can work with each other in syria however it be too optimistic to see this as a breakthrough of the entire syrian conflict as a whole as you know prior to this numerous the escalation zones happened set up. countless ceasefire happen agreed on and both sides have accuse each other of violating them and so it's there's there's still a lot of answer to questions regarding the syrian conflict where the most crucial one being the political future of the assad government ok let's get further into this discuss the situation with syria by a member of the professor of north american studies at the university of to run you're very welcome to the program there have of course before dawn this before how significant is this agreement. well it could be significant this agreement from my understanding is the result of the past

four and five negotiations it was agreed upon a pass on the five negotiations and the fact that the united states and the russians have also agreed upon this hopefully you will make it more possible for it to be implemented the iranians and the syrians and the russians believe that the more peace there is in syria the more pressure there will be on the extremists to end the war because ordinary people will see their lives move back to some sort of normality and that is not a good thing for the extremists of course this ceasefire does not include as we all know al qaeda the north front and i say this but other than that the other groups have an opportunity now to help bring things a bit closer to normality yet because we know that previously essentially all sides

repeatedly accused each other of violating the cease fire deal there is hope though that this one can hold. well yes if we look back we recall we all recall that the united states and the russians agreed to to cease fires before and on both the case. as the united states allowed its. three miss allies to take advantage of it in also in the second ceasefire we saw that the united states actually went in by syrian government positions by mistake of course almost one hundred people were killed and the airstrikes were carried out over an hour and almost immediately isis attacked the government positions as if they were already prepared for those airstrikes so we have seen in the past the united states use their use the cease fire to the advantage of the

extremists but things are beginning to change the syrian government has made huge gains across the board three miss on the back foot also in iraq we see that the iraqi central government along with the armed forces the popular mobilization forces they have made huge gains there as well the syrian government and the iraqi government their forces have. met on the border these are things that we haven't seen for the last four or five killer i also just interject and put another point you know you what you're saying there because do you agree with assessment that the u.s. position in syria has become more pragmatic compared to previous administrations. where we hope so it should be more pragmatic because the united states has lost a lot of ground the extremists al-qaeda and their allies have lost battle after

battle isis which was being supported by saudi arabia by. and by other countries bordering the country they too are now failing so the syrian government is much stronger today than it was in the past and it is for the it's to the interest it's in the interest of the united. states to change its policy now that we see that saudi arabia in its position has weakened so much because of its. war in yemen against the yemeni people it's. it's a crisis between saudi arabia and qatar and now and of course the problems that turkey is facing at home these have weakened the american position the israelis of course want to continue this civil war but the tide has really turned and i think if the united states plays it correctly it's in their interest to bring this to an end. around the pressure of north american studies at the university of tehran

thank you. for following the g. twenty talks a lot of your putin gave his personal impression of his american country particularly. it's a trump and die of established a relationship it may sound strange but trump in real life is completely different to when he's on t.v. he's very businesslike and easy to talk with i think if we continue to work together in the way we did yesterday we'll be able to restore relations between the u.s. and russia and bring cooperation between our countries to a new level two different donald trump's you heard it right that's how the washing president puts it but mr putin met only one donald trump in that blue room on friday and as we found out from right still or should there was some positive chemistry between these two men there was so much to talk about all these issues. just about everything got touched on to one degree or another and i think there was just such a level of engagement and exchange neither one of them wanted to stop general times

i had to remind the president. is in the door and i think he was the first lady at one point to see if she could get us out of there and i didn't work either well if that blood man who spent more than two hours talking to a lot of my approach was the real donald trump then there is potential for the lot awaited political thaw says a lot of our approach going back to the many issues that the two presidents discussed of course they spent a while talking about syria which resulted in the announcement of a breakthrough cease fire in three districts of the country at the russian president's press conference we heard him called the deal a giant step well when it comes to the american media it seems that they were mostly worried about whether their president would put pressure on flat improvement over allegations of russian interference in the u.s.

presidential race donald trump brought up that issue several times a lot of our putin kept replying that wash up wasn't involved and at the flat of a. press conference one journalist asked him whether russia was planning to meddle in the chairman elections but look it's. a very provocative questions i've already answered this question we didn't interfere in the u.s. election so why do we need to interfere in the german election we have a long history of friendship with germany it's our largest trading partner in europe we have many joint projects so why would we interfere in their internal affairs well i guess we will have to hear something from donald trump in the next days besides the word tremendous that he used to describe this meeting i had a tremendous meeting. with president bush and we had a really great meetings with a lot of people having a lot well the war between c.n.n. and donald trump is still running at full steam the details right after this.

the feeling of. every the world experience.

that you get on the old the old. the old according to josh. come along for the ride. hello again c.n.n. found itself sparking an internet mean war this week and tracked on the creator of a clip featuring donald trump wrestling the news networks logo the video had been tweeted by the president a few days or a year leading c.n.n. to say it encouraged violence against reporters rock as the of takes up the story. so this guy makes a humorous little video and then it blows up someone edited it donald trump found it and posted it on his twitter feed i ha it got

millions of views hundreds of thousands of likes and many people had to love c.n.n. did not like being laughed at not one bit they launched a manhunt for the original creator of the video what they did is doc saying it is digging up private information on someone or with something and then publishing it can be used for law enforcement for business extortion coercion harassment online shaming and vigilante justice the reaction has been furious even songes way did on the matter saying that potentially what c.n.n. did may be a crime a multi-billion dollar t.v. network blackmailing a private citizen into not making funny videos about it is not journalism c.n.n. and c.n.n. succeeded they found the original creator and have since apologized and promised

never to make another video critical of c.n.n. john says when they finally talk to him he sounded nervous as well he might c.n.n. is threatening to publish his identity for all the loonies in the world to know if he ever stops being sorry it's right there on their website c.n.n. reserves the right to publish his identity if he stops being sorry if anything changes isn't that the deficient of blackmail. well in the back lash that followed this c.n.n. journalist who originally wrote about the mean designers identity tweeted this response to the blackmail claims he say's that their line was misinterpreted and that they simply meant c.n.n. made no agreement about the man's identity still a damage was done on the internet hit back with more c.n.n. washing means.

thanks. thanks. thanks. thanks thanks but we spoke exclusively to a moderator for the reddit website section where the clip originated. to conceal his identity. just say you're this guy on a solo oh i'm the guy who posted the original gift it would be frightening if i were him and i received random phone calls or in emails from see mail out of nowhere i would not be super enthusiastic about c.n.n.

one of the largest news communities in the world so you know boy you can throw us about telling you to stop doing what you want to do on the internet c.n.n. has no right to do the c.n.n. has all of the internet against them right now and when organizations attack freedom of speech and never ends up well for them and make no mistake about it this is an attack on the internet and c.n.n. has formally declared war on it in return we need to hit c.n.n. we're told are advertisers that you do not approve of them by running ads on their network our site right now on the road the people who are pushing this you know hash tag on that are exposing c.n.n. for the fraud news network they are are doing the right thing. at the u.s. stepped up its threats against north korea and whedon stay off to pyongyang test fired in you miss silence during the emergency meeting of the un security council

washington's and buster a valid that military force would be used if necessary. the united states is prepared to use the full range of our capabilities to defend ourselves and our allies one of our capabilities lies with our considerable military forces we will use them if we must america believes the missile that north korea used during the test on july fourth was an intercontinental ballistic one however russia's defense ministry has submitted a report to the un suggesting the weapons range was intermediate not intercontinental russia's deputy u.n. envoy said the political solution should be found and stressed the need to work collectively to ease the escalating tensions russia together with china prepared a proposal that would see north korea stop testing its weapons on the u.s. and south korea counselor military exercises in the region well that was rejected by washington and weighed in washington fired their own missiles into the sea of

japan which were understood to be warning shots from north korea artie's been hearing from all of this about it's america's response which risks pushing the crisis into war. 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 the united states and her increasingly few are lies or using by an international body of peace as a client 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 that want to engage in peace the countries that could end up saving north korea from american aggression and they will smile upon that surely the u.s.

is sending the same message that they have been sending for seventy years and that is to threaten again and again and again the people of the democratic people's republic of korea and the reality of us endless endless threats on the people of korea has ratcheted up now the sanctions a new round of sanctions a new round of threatening other countries that have any trade or economic relations with the d.p. r. k. . news for now here in r.t. international. yes there is a saying. look there can't be cheap but then you went to all the countries. but ideas their right to go to his country he said to me give them every fifteen to

bust. leave this country. this is what we don't understand how we are in such a country. sentiment at the same time. it was a non-governmental. similar. john a good one the one that i did because if you feel if the minutes of phone were not that god can we believe again the fall of the computer without the plane. would come back to the place story if you have to see. the best. to move. back skies or financial

survive they say money to the relatives. this is a central plank support diet goodmans kind of call them might say stop the. descent totally peaceful. venice it's peaceful hours are numbered. is also stealing itself in the early morning. three unique cities in europe with. this. getting worse all the time. they get everything but yes you know what time does benefit over. there's no caius of any fifty.
