that's undercutting about what's good for markets it's not good for the global economy. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they did accept it or reject it. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to be for the survival of for freedom or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. first city hall. councils is meeting with president bush. twenty summit. over the recent between russia and ukraine. coming up also ahead as well. so there
2:01 pm
was listen this boy would have heard that these were the first the iranians this is what the decision is all about on the floor of the united states splits emerges in washington over the u.s. from saudi arabia with the senate on one side calling for a halt on support for riyadh's war effort in yemen while the white stands firm in its support. the yellow vests protest planned they say another series of rallies against president mccall's fuel tax increase while french police demand that he be given moral support to deal with. the situation on the ground might be very different but for the information we have here everything is correct some people think that the kind of problems happened when management's not understand the risks i mean taking only cation because. it's international you sent to moscow. my name's kevin zero in here with
2:02 pm
a half hour news update ten pm here now there's this thing i missed our breaking news in washington last few hours donald trump has announced that he won't be meeting with president putin on the sidelines of the g. twenty summit in argentina that summit due to start friday tomorrow trying to has the latest on terms decision and the possible reasons behind it. well this didn't come out of nowhere completely we had known that donald trump was going to somehow we act to what's going on between kiev and moscow however still donald trump's decision is a shock for everyone here and boy assad is first of all the point when they were going to sit in one room and start talking was of course going to be the number one highlight here at the g. twenty but also just before stepping inside his plane donald trump said this i probably would be the president we have been terminated that meeting i was thinking about it but we haven't they feel like they're having i think it's
2:03 pm
a very good time to have the meeting getting the full report of what happened and that that will determine what well there's no other meaning of the word probably so all the journalists here in the argentinian capital were gearing up for these two interim talks but then while the american president was 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 joke meeting in argentina with president vladimir putin . who are to emitting full summit again as soon as the situation is resolved so this is indeed because of the russia ukraine standoff but this issue wasn't by far the only thing that the two leaders were meant to deal with together from the very point when donald trump took over at the oval office his administration has pretty
2:04 pm
much been trying to turn the system of international agreements upside down and just a couple of months ago mr trump and now said he was going to ditch a cold war era nuclear agreement with russia that's important for the stability of europe it's crucial for this to build. of the entire world and the world was counting on the leaders of russia and the u.s. to sort this out together apparently this discussion isn't happening anymore the russian lawmakers have already reacted to donald trump's tweet they said that russia is still open to any such meeting but only on equal terms besides this the russian official suggested that mr trump could have been forced to do this by the internal bickering in the u.s. with some in washington using the third straight incident has a pretext earlier on thursday there was something else really adding fuel to the
2:05 pm
fire donald trump's for her lawyer michael cohen's testimony who admitted that he lied to u.s. officials about the way that donald trump to mediate kate did with the russian side during the twenty sixteen presidential campaign before and after the previous u.s. russia presidential summit the american leader was under immense pressure and when the talks were hold for some people even told him a traitor and the u.s. media have a look at some of the reaction that followed that summit i don't know where side is the bride and where side of the groom enters in but it is there were sort of feels like we're in a wedding you have been watching for have for the most disgraceful performances by an american president why is president trump putting himself in his along or a ball high stakes scenario at and letting flag in your pool however mr trump's tweet doesn't mean that the president won't meet at all here in buenos addis there
2:06 pm
will be the g. twenty family photo and all kinds of other events for all the leaders here at the summit and now it's completely unpredictable how the leaders are going to look at each other what their handshake is going to be like if it happens and we'll tell you all about it when these things come in that's. human and labor rights lawyer don't cover nick jonas alone get your thoughts about it here so on it's off it's only it's often now maybe a meeting on the sidelines what's all this about to make any link with the timing of what happened in the sea in those clashes there just days before the g twenty summit or is that putting two and two together and making five. well now look it's certainly a reasonable guess that that is the reason. that the meeting would be called off on the other hand in my view i think in any reasonable person's view no matter how one views the kershner
2:07 pm
a situation and who was at fault there it seems like this is the very time to have a meeting between the u.s. and russia to try to sort that. incident out in to try to deal again with all the tensions that are happening in europe between russia and nato so it seems to me if that were the reason the meeting was canceled that is a bad reason for it being canceled so horribly proud of the queen this is right donald trump getting on the plane on air force one one point saying yes there was going to be a meeting a take a full meeting and then get off it while he was on the plane so they got this tweet saying no no it's all off what's changed. well he did have a very contentious press conference in which people did question him for example about the michael cohen. plea deal and which again relates to this russia gate scandal and i think that trump is feeling pressure not to look like he
2:08 pm
is somehow colluding with putin of course i view that again to be absurd. in fact the interesting thing is that cohen. what he lied about was a property deal that trump wanted and were. and that apparently fell through because the russians didn't want trump's truly had the special relationship with putin i'm certain putin could have helped that deal go through so another actor michael cohen testimony disproves the whole russia but it's all headache for president trump this whole code cohen thing that won't go away plus he's about bad news about general motors there in the rust belt huge big support states for him all those jobs going to put a bad week in what are you look at it could this have been a headline deflect focus more on the current straight that kind of thing is that what's happening here or not. well yes and certainly to avoid bad
2:09 pm
publicity you know as you noted the last time he met with putin somehow he was seen as a traitor that's how crazy things have gotten in this country and i guess he wanted to so i always aims to harding with when there's this summit where the sort of source that when there's a summit like this i just think about to the much heralded trumpet in summit where was it in helsinki just before the twelve russians indicted for interfering in u.s. elections there's always something that comes up before these much heralded meetings that puts a. spoke in the works isn't there but looks of it. why i think this role russia gate investigation is all about that is all about putting a wrench in the works of a possible reproach mark between the u.s. and russia and i think that that is quite a shame but i do think that that is the dynamic we see playing out down koblick human and labor rights lawyer whose book. is called the plot to control the world
2:10 pm
or the u.s. spend billions to change the outcome of elections around the world i believe the right thing thanks being with us and have a good day to uncover it there on the line on our international mean time list until you russia is moving to ramp up its defenses in that area we're talking about crimea following those naval clashes with ukraine by deploying a new s four hundred anti-aircraft missile system we can report tonight last sunday russian border patrol sees those three ukrainian ships in the potential of moscow's has for violating territorial waters of course ukraine says otherwise anyway our c.n.n. correspondent more galatea takes us through the latest developments tonight. the s four hundred triumph as the school does in essence a defensive weapon. 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
2:11 pm
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 at all happy about it now i'm going to my sister was a model for my you're getting complacent. response to my mom instead of
2:12 pm
you know you could you do as much as you know you know when you were you were people who were beautiful. beautiful but you got old i was sitting. with. you if. we don't use this music as a way you want to be good but you could are you going on your national and i will tell you what you do but you. just. don't know how she was sure much as you were. going to neo. nevertheless this. of s 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 may come up next and here iterate what are saying just now the ukrainian side of it here kiev claims it warned russia about the
2:13 pm
presence of its vessel vessels in the area and it called the seizure of its ships no act of aggression further ukraine is demanding the immediate release of those twenty four crew members who are serving a two month pretrial detention here in russia. but some france no still trouble bubbling along there the so-called yellow vest protesters are not all oh have announced plans for more rallies against the president fuel tax increase and money micron's digging in though and is refusing to change course despite angry nationwide protests over the past fortnight. last saturday demonstrations lead to a rest between protesters and police according to reports there are one hundred
2:14 pm
thirty arrests more than half of those happening in paris five officers that's not forget the people to deal with this or injured as well including one who suffered burns and further to that theory the mayor of paris joined one of the french police union expressing worries over the safety of officers the unions general secretary told our sister channel r.t. france this appears they say don't understand the conditions police have to face during rallies like this. on what to study this the police that overseen from the operation room at the headquarters they give orders saying do that go 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. as i was told an interesting story about one location workers are willing to pay to
2:15 pm
slash costs and no one from management told us to close off the area transit protests just really pulling up those slabs been using. those protests as hooligans and criminals the people who don't want to abide by the law the inside conflict they're ready to commit crimes the question of who they really are i would say here again society the use of the cross is moving to is a pretext we have for spokes person for the yellow vests who is indeed a representative for the protesters during talks with. french government. was just within where forced to pay taxes saying that it is necessary for they send that letter the same time we do not see what is actually been done here a certain desensitisation on other issues i think they put all the problems together and today we see the results of this it does not surprise me has so many people signed the petition because not everything is good and everyone understands
2:16 pm
this the problem is how to get across it and the petition has become a way of trying to get explanations from the government. so i'm thinking here moscow time next year and say the islamic states ideology of terror permeated every aspect of daily life for the regions they occupied and the education of children is no exception either they have their own twisted ideas of what youngsters should be taught and how to teach them and next artie's arabic channel got a glimpse of the kind of indoctrination was going on in former ice of facilities in iraq. one would say he'd seize twenty three weapons as trophies from infidels while
2:17 pm
another with the heat seized only seventeen weapons how many weapons did they seize in total. where the line caps of the caliphate where the soldiers. will attack. if he calls us to jihad breadline culp's of the caliphate where. with all of that of the aim of this policy was to create a new generation of militants to strengthen the terrorist group i'm still afraid of i say because they killed and tortured us truck in this legs tonight the case maria the russian student now accused of being a kremlin spy in america has seen
2:18 pm
a request to be moved from solitary confinement rejected we can tell by u.s. court lawyers still struggling to prove their innocence next artie's daniel hoare can speaks exclusively to maria buton his father about the efforts to free her the conditions she's being held in. how much do we know right now about the conditions that aria is being held in detention in the united states. for the time being she's being held in federal prison in alexandria in poor conditions she's in solitary confinement and alone so it's a tough regime our family our lawyers in russia's foreign ministry believe she isn't deserving of this. what do you think could be behind this nation to keep on mainly in those conditions no i should say. being reported in the media is that she passed her lawyers phone number to another inmate. but i believe that's just an attempt to pressure her into it a forced admission of guilt according to some of the latest reports maria may end
2:19 pm
to some sort of plea bargain with the court before the trial starts all these reports are accurate and if they are do you think the condition she is being held in has influenced her decision to enter that blog and your mom would. i can't say it's true i don't have any details to make any conclusions but i can say that her lawyers are well qualified people for a long time they've been trying to prove her innocence and i'm sure they will what measures are currently being taken by the russian side to ensure maria's release and return to russia and what more do you think could be done by the russian authorities made it very different measures are being taken from russia's foreign ministry and the embassy in washington to try and solve these questions human rights groups are also doing everything possible so that maria is treated fairly but if you could send a message to the media to be a thorough tease to the courts involved in this case what would your message be you
2:20 pm
know where it is. i want to pay my huge respect to the american people who has never done anything wrong in the country who goes to study and she did so very well and i hope that not only the court but all people who she was going on we come to the right conclusion i hope they'll be assured that maria is not guilty she isn't guilty of any wrongdoing or crime she didn't do any harm to the state she respected that much and still respects it. sport a sport and a molotov cocktail isn't something you'd normally hope to see or expect at a football much but dutch fans had to take cover from flares in a petrol bomb during a game in the greek capital on wednesday a katherines were hosting i.x. in the u.a.e. for champions league but the game and build up to it were marred by violence scenes artie's lecturer jeff ski picks up the story for you tonight. yet another night of senseless football related violence in europe when the famed dutch club from
2:21 pm
amsterdam went to the greek capital of eight and to play a local side in the champions league now we've seen violence in the football stands before but this was something on the next level when part of the fans broke onto the pitch and threw molotov cocktail into the way stand. the police when went into that stand and handed out some beating to the traveling fans resulting in injuries to some of them and all that after a night of craziness in the streets of athens with the two sets of fans fighting each other and now the u.a.e. the european governing football body said that it will punish those fans involved but here is one problem in such cases usually usa for hands in a fine for the club and a disqualification for the travelling fans for the very next game in this case next
2:22 pm
game is on december twelfth in lisbon portugal and the disciplinary committee will review this case on december thirteenth essentially meaning that the very same fans who threw molotov cocktails in the stadium will have a chance to do it again in lisbon and in this case we're seeing bizarre double standards from you a for let's go back to september twenty seventeen when spartak moscow travelled to slovenia as a mario bore flair was thrown on the pitch some scuffles outside the stadium not not really many injured in this case yet immediate ban for the next away game for spots are the same story with the serbian side sort of as well as the or read stuff from belgrade bitch invaded in austria during the champions league qualifier a ban for two games consecutive games away for the fans of red star belgrade but there are cases when these punishments are not applied equally to the club from the . italian capital first they travel to liverpool in april sending one fan into
2:23 pm
a coma which he still hasn't recovered from later no punishment at all and guess what does it again in october they play c.s.k. moscow at home clashes outside the stadium with one fan reportedly being stabbed again no no sanctions no fire no fan no bans no fines no anything so it all back for a question why are the standards so different if you a for has this so-called zero tolerance policy towards for related violence it should be applied to all sides involved and now we have to wait and see whether eight athens will behave in lisbon in two weeks time. reporting from moscow. new infere next the german vice chancellor is pushing for each member ship of the u.n. security council at the expense therefore france the french have held one of the five permanent seat since the u.s. sees formation at the end of world war two i realize this will take some convincing in paris but it would be a bold and smart goal to lessen the pain of losing the powerful seat france could
2:24 pm
become the permanent boss to the united nations where the french ambassador to the u.s. has already cast doubt on berlin's proposal saying it contradicts the u.n. charter of the french m.p.'s have also voiced concern surprisingly it comes after french president emmanuel mccrone announced his desire for you army earlier this month let's not forget him plans but merkel political analysts alexander rather told us the germany there was wrong to have made its human proposal public here. putting together all the europeans in one concept and one mccain ism is nearly impossible wave of germans have done so is exactly opposite to favorable issue. using a megaphone diplomacy to soothe all constraints of germany is the most efficient way to course is such a question has to be discussed. in public delta very much that
2:25 pm
such a sharing of european representation in the security council or new european institutions can be. created soley by a dialogue between germany and france and doing in doing so so we vote making the necessary concessions to other europeans is a sure recipe for disaster. the us senate and the white house of lock horns over america's ongoing support for saudi arabia on one side the senate is demanding that the government and military aid to the saudi led war effort in yemen on the other the us secretary of state now has a very different opinion elmire. 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 senate passing a resolution this point that would have heard the who these would encourage the
2:26 pm
iranians we will no longer be part of their destructive military adventurism hopefully get a cease fire in yemen something that we have diplomatically been striving for for months and we think we're right on the cusp of that we were fuelling the bombers that the saudis sent in to yemen the vote comes amid ongoing anger of the killing of jamal khashoggi the distant journalist murdered last month inside the saudi consulate in istanbul. has more on the current divisions in washington over this 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 surely 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
2:27 pm
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 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 steadily worsening since the war began three years ago so what has prompted the senate to vote first such a resolution just now well part of the reason is obviously scandal and innocent journalists critical of the saudi crown prince being killed in
2:28 pm
a society embassy in turkey followed by weeks of denial numerous versions of what might have happened and finally a lucid admission that premeditated murder was indeed at play we know. that he. was involved not. any one of you know all 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 report. connecting the ground breasts to the order to the ship and it certainly appears that political tolerance is waning somewhat with individual starting to speak out the latest example being and name state department official according to reuters airing 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 trump justification cheri readies been
2:29 pm
a great ally but what happened is not acceptable but i would prefer that we don't you. hundred ten billion dollars worth of work they are ordering military equipment everybody in the world one of their order russia wanted it china wanted it we wanted it we got it and we are all of it every bit of it i don't like stopping massive amounts of money that's being poured into our country spending one hundred ten billion dollars on military what the. things that create jobs like. others for this country from his 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 the day or two to r.t. . middle east commentator i don't think so the time of ministrations focus is on the contract it holds was indeed. we have the president of the united states of
2:30 pm
america coming out when he was asked about iran whereas abuse asked about. a way to stop a civil war going on in yemen and he just said i'm not going to sacrifice have been billion and exactly fifty billion that one would look. contract which is unusual because he's not a usual politician because he's a businessman then you have the business law be there we go vote for that pressure they don't want to do this contra i think we have to be seeing that within the internal struggle inside that medical mystery shuns rather it is that sort of alignment that i just meant of american foreign policy i don't think foreign policy will change i don't think they're going to cancel the contracts well that's hard to news at ten tonight with me kevin owen thanks ever so much for watching more of a big stories of course online that are to cope.
