an arms race is often spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. subscribe to roughly paulson get full roughly content for just twelve euros fifty per month. fifty per month. breaking news don trump council meeting with president putin showed the upcoming g twenty summit in argentina or go over the recent sea clashes between russia and ukraine head also to come to. the us those in this point

would have heard the who were encouraged to read this is what the decision is all about on the floor of the united states. especially mergers in washington over the u.s. some saudi arabia with the senate calling for a halt some support for the war effort in yemen but the white. support. and the yellow vests protesters in france plan another series of rallies against president across the fuel tax increase while police demand they be given more support. the situation on the ground might be very different but according to the information we have here everything is correct and the problems happen when management not understand the risks we're taking on location because they're sitting in the office.

i believe the life multinationals kevin over here in moscow with you for this half hour update thanks ever so much for joining us for of each unit around the world so that breaking news that we brought you this last hour but more on it coming out of washington tonight donald trump has announced that he won't be meeting with president putin on the sidelines of the g. twenty summit in argentina it was due to start that summit on friday let's get more on this cross to mope and he's in new york bruce up speed on trump's last minute decision this week has been on all fallen off now we hear it's on again what about off again what finally triggered trump's last minute decision do you think. well it's quite interesting just two hours before donald trump tweeted out that he was canceling his meeting on the margins of the g. twenty summit in argentina with russia's president just two hours before he was making reference to that upcoming meeting now some are looking at what's happening in the united states because at this point not much has changed with the ukrainian sailors and that whole situation there haven't been any new developments really so

people are looking at what's been happening in the united states and it's important to note that in court today regarding with a plea deal made by michael cohen. lawyer apparently it's been revealed that negotiations regarding the trump tower the possibility of building a trump tower in moscow continued well into the twenty sixteen campaign and that that talk of allegations of the collusion you know that's been big in mainstream media in the united states in the aftermath of that police and that announcement was made in court so some are looking at it and wondering if this is possibly influencing that decision but of course there's no way of knowing but it appears that this meeting that was long awaited on the margins of this important international gathering the g twenty in argentina it looks like this meeting is off the official reason is given related to the developments around the ukrainian sailors but others are wondering if there's there's something else going on there.

sort of a bit of a bit of a delay there things for a much. longer give us his thoughts but what's happening there the nail place cover a short notice so this trip was reported decided to drop that much more to tell you to tight with putin off to talks with john bolton how much was this trumps decision or was a lot more going to be on the seeds you think. i think the only surprise is that anybody surprised by because as you said in your intro it was on it was off and on it was off. and now it's off again i think that what happened this week in ukraine in the crimea that it was likely to end this way that what's going to be off. i think the trough in many ways was down to the games because the democrats are now saying well you know he should meet buton and tell him what's for him tell him to get out of course i'm here etc but he had said yeah i'm going to go there and meet putin and try and so he did the accused look using russia.

russia so really whether he met putin or didn't. act whatever it is lay down the goal of these ukrainian vessels the sailors must be free to return to ukraine is he in a position to really make those demands what's the leverage is go here. i don't think he has got much leverage. and i think what's happened is that i think back to what the white house was coming out with say three days ago it wasn't really taking that much of a start on this but in fact what's happened is that little music sort of had to rush in new york on for a screeching all the u.s. to take a stronger line and that's the sort of context in which he has to operate this is not trying to excuse the top he is the president after all but of course we know that russia had these anti russia some would call his year in the u.s. is really driving whoever's in in politics really to. be seen to be taking.

i mean the more pragmatic may say for got a problem try to meet with some face to face to sort it out that seems to be the view of some u.s. democrats surprised that they wanted the two presidents to meet and have a more in-depth meeting at the g. twenty particularly one that starting out senator bob menendez i says to him come straight. should become a pretty second i would just loosen it up here it comes as bob menendez just remind our viewers. we just learned from the president he has announced that he is canceling this meeting with are you happy to hear that. i would have liked him to meet putin and challenge putin. yeah i would that i have publicly probably not but are the seeds don't know what's out there what you think that meeting would have brought i know it's all ifs and buts now because he's be off but what could it have brought to the party. well i think it. was going to be a relatively brief meeting and i think they're going to be realistic that basically

the analyzing what's behind the current u.s. russia the new cold war we could call it and then anything that could be sorted out in ten minutes or even it's really an hour i think there are forces of the we've got the military industrial complex we've got the neo con think tanks the u.s. energy industry very key industry to push russia out of the european energy market you know all these factors actually at play and this would really require a lot more a lot more discussion on this and a lot more really there's no school of thought of course the timing of this curch so you could summarize all night about this but the timing of what happened in the coach straight just so quickly before the g twenty just a couple days before the ramifications of it i wonder if there's any tie in the. president putin say was provocation as far as he saw it. well could well be any who what we don't know that will be the case of course korean. really want to see because they feel that. their men might get on well together. might come you know

might even in a short space of time come to some car a new move. that would kind of ease tensions between the u.s. and russia and of course you've got to remember there's a people out of people who don't want that to happen they really don't want russia and the u.s. relations so yes it could well be that that what's happening is we could be connected to to the g. twenty and trying to to try to prevent. a meeting between us president and the russian president with a footnote told us just looking at the tweet that was sent our budget donald trump earlier on further to him saying that there would be a meeting then went on to say look for a beautiful summit again as soon as the situation is resolved so as watch this clock watch out to you will tell you all about it thanks very much a jealous writer on the line from the u.k. there. meantime talk about events in that area russia is moving to ramp up its defenses in crimea following those naval clashes with ukraine but deploying

a new s four hundred anti across missile system last sunday russian border patrol sees three ukrainian ships in the peninsula moscow says for violating territorial waters our senior correspondent talks are the latest developments. the s. four hundred triumph as the school does in essence a defensive weapon. and missiles that can shoot down aircraft that can shoot down cruise missiles as well as ballistic missiles up to four hundred kilometers away and at heights of up to thirty kilometers so it's a it's a defensive weapon this is the fourth detachment of four hundred missiles to be stationed in crimea over the last several years and no surprise really given that what's happening on the other side of the border on the other side of the crimean border that the ukrainian military mobilized that isn't a state of high alert and anything the russians believe could be expected especially after what they call this provocative act that happened on sunday where

three ukrainian naval vessels when did the russian territorial waters without filing any notification something that they had done previously the russians believe this was ordered by the government in ukraine for political reasons because of elections that are just four months away since then martial law has been established in many regions of ukraine and while some ukrainians approve others. happy about it no longer with the my sister was a model for my you are getting complacent. response just remember instead of you know we're going to do it but you know you know when you're the most beautiful . beautiful but you can bet all the boys are sitting. with. you if. you don't use this new social the way you want to but you could be you could are you going on you must hold off and i will tell you what you deserve

because if you. don't know how. she will watch as you are. going to go. nevertheless this. as four hundred missiles is a serious move it is perhaps a message to the ukrainians that russia is willing and able to defend its territory irregardless of what incidents me come up next. well as for ukraine it sort of says he warned russia about the presence of his vessels in the area and he called the seizure of ships an act of aggression ukraine's demanding the immediate release of twenty four crew members who is serving a two month pretrial detention here in russia about the breaking news coming out of washington don't trump as you just joined us as announced that he won't be meeting with president trump on the sidelines of the g. twenty summit in argentina to start this friday nonetheless has been dispatched upon his already let's catch up with him either really yeah yeah this is all

changing as you were on the plane get aboard his ari's as mr trump was on air force one as well first it was a meeting then there's not a meeting it always felt like this kind of meeting was on the rocks but what finally triggered trumps a last minute decision here do you think. kevin this didn't come completely out of nowhere but still donald trump's decision is a real shock for everyone here in august first of all surely the point when the two presidents were going to sit in one room and talk next to each other was going to be obviously didn't number one highlight of this just when to eat but also just before stepping inside the air force one plane that you mentioned the u.s. president said this. probably will be the president we haven't services that he was thinking about but we haven't. i think it's a very good sign you have to be getting the full report of what happened to that

that will be very. well i don't know any other meanings for the world for the word probably and of course here all the journalists in the capital. argentina weren't gearing up for these talks between vladimir putin and donald trump however when the plane of the u.s. president when he was still in the skies this tweet appeared online. based on the fact that the ships and sailors have not been returned to ukraine from russia i have decided it would be best for all parties concerned to cancel my previously should meeting in argentina with president vladimir putin i look forward to emitting full simon again as soon as the situation is resolved. so it turns out all of this is about the russia ukraine naval standoff in the current strait but this escalation of the russia ukraine conflict was by far not the only issue that

was meant to be discussed by the leaders of the u.s. and russia the donald trump but we missed ration has been trying to turn an entire system of international agreements upside down since pretty much donald trump was sworn in and just a couple of months ago donald trump said that he was ditching a cold war era nuclear agreement with russia and surely this was one of the very important issues that's important for europe for the entire globe actually that the two presidents were supposed to talk about but now apparently this isn't happening now the russian lawmakers have already reacted to this call by travel trouble and they said that russia is still open for such meetings but on equal terms but also the russian official suggested that mr trump was forced to do this by the internal bickering in the u.s.

with some in washington using the situation in the current straight as a pretext then there's something else that we remember when donald trump and vladimir putin met helsinki before that the. u.s. president was under immense pressure back cold but it escalated even more after the meeting happened. i don't know which side is the bride and which side of it is the groom anderson but it is sort of feels like we're at a wedding you have been watching perhaps one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president why is president trump putting himself in his along or of all high stakes scenario and letting flat in their pool. well this doesn't mean that mr trump and mr putin aren't gonna meet all of course you're going to be there for the family photo and then there will be also other events for all the leaders of the g. twenty and the way they're going to look at each other the way they're going to

shake their hands and all the other interactions are now completely unpredictable and this is what we'll be watching for indeed with your help thanks for the update there from bonner's ariz thanks very much any patrik. next story in france so-called yellow vest protests as that's going on have announced plans for more rallies now against the president's fuel tax increase among them across digging in though and is refusing to change course despite angry nationwide protests for the past fortnight now. last saturday's demonstrations led to unrest between the protesters and the police these pictures all that coding to report the one hundred thirty arrests more than

half of those happening in paris five officers were injured let's not forget them to do with this including one who suffered burns now taken that story forward a bit the mayor of paris now has joined one of the french police unions and expressing worries over. the safety of offices the unions general secretary told our sister child latif rods their superiors don't understand they say the conditions police face during this time a rally. that said i started to call machiavellian diversity the police that overseen from the operation room at the headquarters they give orders saying do that goes there the situation on the ground might be very different but according to the information we have here everything is correct and the problems happen when management does not understand the risks we are taking on location because they're sitting in their office. i was told an interesting story one location workers were laying paving slabs and

no one from management told us to close off the area to prevent the protesters from pulling up those slabs and using them. those protesters are hooligans and criminals people who don't want to abide by the lord the inside conflict they're ready to commit crimes on screen the question of who they really are i would say they are against society they used in the protest movement is a pretext. we are too for spokes person for the yellow vests representative for the protesters you're in talks with the french government. we think we are forced to pay taxes saying that this is necessary for this and that but at the same time we do not see what has actually been done here and so does the same situation on other issues i think they put all the problems together and today we see the results of this it does not surprise me that so many people signed the petition because not everything is good and everyone understands this the problem is how to get across

it and the petition has become a way of trying to get explanations from the government. the former head of britain's armed forces warns we should all be thinking like his nineteen sixty one was a well hotelier off the bright. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamped each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you loans to the rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent from last year some with four hundred to five hundred trees per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar

a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember one one does not show you can afford to miss the one and only. producing a lot of oil and gas now or energy and abandonware as big as the russia and saudi arabia but as you're making there is that they're actually losing money on every back. to. the us senate and the white house of low tones over america's ongoing support for saudi arabia senate has a one sided demanding the government and end military aid to the saudi led war effort in yemen while the other the us secretary states got

a different opinion. they're considering building a resolution on the senate floor which we think is just poorly timed this is what the decision is all about on the floor of the united states passing a resolution this point that would encourage the hoodies with courage the iranians we will no longer be part of their destructive old military adventurism hopefully get a cease fire to give us something that we have diplomatically been striving for for months we think we're right on the time that we were fueling the bombers that the saudis said to yemen the vote comes amid ongoing growth the killing of jamal khashoggi the dissident journalist murdered last month inside the study consulate in istanbul. has more on the divisions right now in washington over the saudi yemen conflict. the u.s. senate versus the white house twenty ninth of november twenty eighth the motion should the u.s. support the war in yemen to any human being the logical answer would shortly be no

never mind waging a war on a country that has according to the u.n. claimed over six thousand eight hundred lives so far with many organizations putting that number far higher it seems that support for this conflict in the very country supplying a huge volume of arms to the saudis the u.s. of course is becoming increasingly split but the trouble administration continues to defend its involvement in the yemen all the suffering in yemen grieves me but if the united states of america was not involved in yemen it would be a hell of a lot worse let's remind ourselves of what is going on on the ground in yemen before we continue thousands of deaths including children and that's not to mention the worst ever cholera outbreak and millions of people under the risk of starvation saudi's reasoning is that they're only targeting the rebels which they view to be terrorists but what about the collateral damage and the dire humanitarian situation

on the ground in yemen has been stabbed. began three years ago so what has prompted the senate to vote for such a resolution just now well part of the reason is obviously. an innocent journalist critical of the saudi crown prince being killed in assad the embassy in turkey followed by weeks of denial versions of what might have happened and finally a lucid admission that premeditated murder. at play we know. that he. was involved not to. anyone else you know smoking do you believe i've read every piece of intelligence about him in the last few hours i think i read it all there is no direct reporting connecting the brown bread to the order to the ship and it certainly appears that political tolerance is waning somewhat with the individual starting to speak out the latest example being

and name state department official according to. his frustrations at the latest letter of offer and acceptance between the scientists and the americans on a fifteen billion dollars worth of a missile defense system here's trumps justification. but what happened is not acceptable but i would prefer that we don't you. hundred billion dollars worth of work they are ordering military equipment everybody in the world one of the russia wanted it china wanted it we wanted it we got it and we are all of it every bit of i don't like stopping massive amounts of money that's being poured into our country spending one hundred billion dollars on military what the. things that create jobs. for this country trauma's message is loud and clear on the matter basing the american

economy. is a priority so in other words what's all the fuss about. r.t. . the former head of britain's armed forces says the country needs to rediscover the mentality that helped to win the cold war and deal effectively with emerging threats like russia and iran we asked people in london in twenty eighteen for their reaction to that that. they certainly are tensions is the question more times that . i'm not sure the times are saying you don't want any mentality like that that are doing. it and i wouldn't pass rushers of course here really wouldn't i mean i know some significance there cause i'm there is hard to pass some of the rooms to your question what i'm saying is they presume this is the gods are pushing for spending the most come after appalled by london based think i would suggest that a new unit should be created to assess enemy capabilities were also look at the

british military ability to respond to said enemies it would be similar to a u.s. structure that existed back in the one nine hundred seventy s. at the height of the cold war journalist joe white thinks it's all a diversionary tactic though. this is redolent of utter tissue political establishment that is in deep and unremitting crisis over the chaos it has wrought over its mishandling of breck's it. but more importantly all the social pressures that are drawn over its implementation over said it to you over the last three years since the north and detest waste of british taxpayers' money at a time as they went to so many people a fifth of the entire population are suffering grim poverty and their own up to christmas this is a ruling class that is holding onto the past like me don't mind onto a way for us because that is all they have in order to sustain their position they're always enemies to be vanquished and countries too recently in russia is

a traditional enemy of the british ruling class that it is by no means the traditional enemy of the british people did it to be at the very people who were telling them that russia should be the enemy. polyphemus if there's a new player in politics cat off thirty feline friends are simply being critically used by a number of politicians to soften their image and make their policies but just a little bit more cuddly. oh. look. at the.
