3:02 pm
my life me out internationally sent to moscow welcome my name is kevin owen here with a half hour news update of the eleven pm just handed us that is tonight so we start with the breaking news out of washington tonight trump's announced that he will not be meeting with president putin on the sidelines officially anyway the g. twenty summit in argentina that you to start friday tomorrow and he's leap to trying because the latest on trump's decision and the possible reasons behind it. well this didn't come out of nowhere completely we had you know 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 of his plate donald trump said this
3:03 pm
i probably will be meeting with president bush we have been terminated that meeting i was thinking about it but we haven't they. i think it's a very good sign you have to be getting the full report of the plane what happened to that and that will determine what it 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 from 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 shadowed meeting in argentina with president vladimir putin i look forward to emitting full summit again as soon as the situation is resolved. so this is indeed because of the russia ukraine standoff but
3:04 pm
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 much been trying to turn the system of international agreements upside down and just a couple of months ago mr trump announced that 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 the stability 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
3:05 pm
internal bickering in the u.s. with some in washington using the carrot straight incident past a pretext earlier on thursday there was something else really adding fuel to the fire donald trump's former lawyer michael colons testimony who admitted that he lied to u.s. officials about the way that donald trump comedic a 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 over some people even called 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 a minute or sort of feels like we're in a wedding you have been watching for have for the most disgraceful performances by an. president why is president trump putting himself in his along or
3:06 pm
a ball high stakes scenario and letting flat in their pool however mr trump's tweet doesn't mean that the president won't meet at all here in buenos addis there will be that 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. don't try to distance himself as best account from his former lawyer despite speculation that michael cohen's admittance that he lied to congress could be the reason behind these council talks with the duma putin no u.s. president and when describing cohen as a we can vidual. he was convicted of various things unrelated. he was given a fairly long jail sentence and he's a weak first advice being weak like other people that you watch he's
3:07 pm
a weak person and what he's trying to do is get a reduced sentence so he's lying about a project that everybody knew about ok the u.s. lead to refer you to the trumpet project here in moscow that how cohen now says he gave false testimony on trump's contacts with russia earlier the eggs lawyer said that talks about the project ended actually january twenty sixth but it seems they lasted for some time during traumas a presidential campaign to allow the mainstream media has been quick to dub the instant as collusion human and labor rights lawyer done conflict disagreed but he spoke to me. how an incident is a question of of disco lucian again the issue is that apparently in his cohen talked about trump wanted to build a trump tower in moscow he was very desirous of this apparently the deal fell through on the russia side. and so this seems to disprove the whole russian
3:08 pm
collusion claims because if trump had this special relationship with putin i'm certain the putin could have helped. smooth the skids for him and pave the way for that tower to be bell instead the deal fell through so while everyone saying aha this is proof of russian collusion in fact it seems to be proof of just the opposite. we tell other developers to brief you on russia's no moving to ramp up its defenses in crimea following naval clashes with ukraine by deploying a new u.s. four hundred anti-aircraft missile system recapping that last sunday russian border patrol sees three ukrainian ships in a potentially moscow says for violating territorial waters our senior correspondent more guns to have talks this through 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
3:09 pm
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
3:10 pm
at all happy about it now members of my sister was a model for my children are getting complacent yes response to my mom just you know we're going to do it but you know you know when you're a little too much what beautiful. beautiful but you can bet all the boys are sitting. with. you if. you don't use this music as a whole the way you are. you could be you could are you going you must and i will tell you what you do but you. just. don't know how. much as you. know neo. nevertheless this. and went 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 the ukrainian side of this kiev
3:11 pm
claims had warned russia about the presence of its vessels in the area further it called the seizure of its ships an act of aggression right now ukraine is demanding the immediate release of twenty four crew members who are serving a two month pretrial detention here in russia. focus on so-called yellow vests protesters have announced plans for more rallies against the president's fuel tax increase and money digging in though and is refusing to change course despite angry nationwide protests over the past fortnight. last saturday's demonstrations led to unrest between protesters and the police
3:12 pm
according to reports their own hundred thirty arrests more than half of those occurring in paris five officers were injured including one who suffered burns and think of the guys have to deal with these protests that's our next story the mayor of paris now joined one of france's police unions in expressing worries over the safety of officers the unions general secretary told our sister channel r.t. france their superiors don't understand they said the conditions police face during their rallies. i said to them want to study this the police the overseeing from the operation room at the headquarters to give orders saying that deep down goes 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 the 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
3:13 pm
don't slash and no one for management to told us that closed off the area to prevent that protest is just really pulling up those slabs you know. those protesters who can see in criminal cases the people who don't want to abide by the law the inside conflicts they are ready to commit crimes on screen the question of who they really are i would say they are against society they use in the crisis movement is a pretext where direct for a spokesperson for the yellow vests who is in fact the representative for the protesters during talks with the french government. we think we are forced to pay taxes saying that this is necessary for this and that letter the same time we do not see what is actually been done here and so to this institution and all that you folks i think this with all the problems together and today we see the results of this it does not surprise me there's so many people scientific because not
3:14 pm
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 or talking about from free time inappropriate content on facebook's watch the social media giant projects of course all moving swiftly to remove offensive content doesn't it.
3:15 pm
thanks. exclusively the case of a russian student now being accused of being a kremlin spied america a single request to be moved from solitary confinement rejected been telling us court lawyers to still struggle to prove their innocence artie's daniel holcomb spoke exclusively to reboot and his father about the efforts to free are ongoing right now. 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
3:16 pm
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 decision to keep it mainly in those conditions you know if it's. being reported in the media that is if 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 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 bargain. 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 world 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
3:17 pm
and return to russia and what more do you think could be done by the russian authorities made a very different measures are being taken from russia's foreign ministry 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 authorities to the courts involved in this case what would your message be you know where it is. i want to pay my huge respect to the american people what 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 the people who she was going on when you 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.

during its heyday islamic states ideology of terror permeated every aspect of daily life in the regions they occupied and the education of children was no exception of their own twisted ideas of what youngsters should be taught and how to teach that an artist or a big channel got a glimpse of the kind of indoctrination that was going on in for i saw facilities in iraq. one would say he'd seize twenty three weapons as trophies from infidels or another which he seized only seventeen episodes how many weapons did they seize in total. where the line caps of the caliphate where the soldiers. will attack. if he
3:19 pm
calls us to jihad breadline camps of the caliphate where to lie and sounds. alone with all this out of the name of this policy was to create a new generation of militants to strengthen the terrorist world i'm still afraid if i sell because they killed and tortured us. a lot of. normally see their football but dutch foreigners did have to take cover from flares at a petrol bomb during a game of the greek capital on wednesday a k r fans were hosting i.x. in the way for champions league but the game build up to it were marred by violence scenes of his lectures. story yet another night of senseless football related
3:20 pm
violence in europe when the famed dutch club from 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
3:21 pm
a find for the club and a disqualification for the travelling fans for the very next game in this case next 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 travel to slovenia somare bore a flare 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 the a red star 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. at the club from
3:22 pm
the italian capital first they travel to liverpool in april sending one fan into 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 fire has this so-called zero tolerance policy towards her latest 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 let's see russia r.t. reporting from. the us senate in the white house of locked horns over america's ongoing support for saudi arabia one side is the senate is they're demanding the government and military aid to the saudi led war effort in yemen and then there's the u.s. state who's got a different opinion they're considering building
3:23 pm
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 it would encourage the who these were encouraged the 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 the distant journalist murdered last month inside the saudi consulate in istanbul next artie's nidia chewed it has more of the divisions 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 surely be no
3:24 pm
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 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 saudis 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
3:25 pm
ago so what has prompted the senate to vote first such a resolution just now well part of the reason is obviously the scandal and innocent journalists critical of the saudi crown prince being killed in 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 now know. that he. was involved not to. 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 brown breasts to the order of the village of off 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
3:26 pm
frustrations at the latest letter of offer and acceptance between the scientists and the americans on a fifteen billion dollars worth of missile defense system here's trumps justification cheri readies been a great ally but what happened is not acceptable but i would prefer that we don't you. one hundred ten 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 ten billion dollars on military equipment and or things that create jobs like jobs . 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 in
3:27 pm
a day or two to r.t. . journalist in the mideast come to throttle darwish voters better things to trumpet ministrations focus is all those contracts it holds with saudi arabia. we have the president of the united states of america coming out when he used ask about your mother as used ask about. a way to store a civil war going on and yeah he just said i'm not going to sacrifice and billion and exactly fifty billion that one would look. cons rock which is unusual because there's not a usual politician because he's a businessman then you have the business. we go vote for the 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. that is sort of alignment that i just meant of american foreign policy i don't think foreign policy will change i
3:28 pm
don't think they're going to cancel the contract. that's for the couple hundred pages of it the next story the german vice chancellor is pushing for e.u. membership at the u.n. security council at the expense of france the french of hell one of those five permanent seats 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 become the permanent boss to the united nations the french ambassador to the u.s. has cast doubt on berlin's proposal most saying it contradicts the u.n. charter other french employees have also voiced concern it comes after french president emanuel micron of course announced his desire for an easy you army very recently earlier this month in plans but by angle of merkel political analyst alexander adler told us that germany though is wrong to have made its un proposal public in this case. putting together all the europeans in one concept
3:29 pm
and one mccain ism is nearly impossible wave of germans have done so is exactly opposite to a favorable issue. using a megaphone diplomacy to soothe all constraints of germany is one of the most efficient way to course such a question has to be discussed not public delta very much that such a sharing of european representation in the security council a 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. if you cats a pigeon bites a cat scan there in this bulletin seems there's
