in fact a recent poll of gallup poll shows fifty seven percent of americans want a more cooperative relationship with russia so there is a disconnect that is smart politician democrat would understand needs to be seen because there's not a lot of hunger appetite for this kind of any russian politics is being fanned by a media political establishment. filled truck cancels his meeting with president putin a tradable for the upcoming g. twenty summit in argentina later today over the recent sea clashes between russia and ukraine. b.l.o.b.'s protest as in france plan they say another series of

hi good morning when i was kevin o. a live from of the international news center i'm with you for next hour this update is just ten one am now this very early friday morning so first that donald trump has announced that he won't be meeting with president putin on the sidelines of the g twenty summit in argentina due to start a few hours from now putin's already expressed his regret over the move on to deliberate trenka is the latest on trump's 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 react 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 plane donald trump said this i probably would be the president we haven't terminated that meeting i was thinking

about it but we have to say like there have been i think it's a very good time to have the city getting the full report of what happens next 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 poor 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 much been trying to turn the system of international agreements upside down and just a couple of months ago mr trump announce 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. our 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 should have been forced to do this by the internal bickering in the u.s. with some in washington using the carrot straight incident has 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 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 it is the groom enters and it is there were sort of feels like we're in 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 a ball high stakes scenario at 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 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. the coming to the press. donald trump has been trying to distance himself from his former lawyer despite speculation that michael cohen's admission that he lied to congress could be the reason behind these cancel talks of posts in u.s. president hold back when describing cohen as a weak individual. he was convicted of various things unrelated. he was given a fairly long jail sentence and he's a weak person. by being weak i'd like other people to watch oh he's a weak person. what he's trying to do is get a reduced sentence so he's lying about a project that everybody knew about the u.s.

and he was referring to a scratch project to try to build trump tower here in moscow cohen now says he gave false testimony on trump's contacts with russia earlier the former lawyer said the talks about the project had ended in january twenty sixth in but now he claims they continued well into trouble presidential campaign. u.s. senators including critics of russia saying that cold off these talks now with putin was a mistake we just learned from the president and he's announced that he is canceling this meeting with putin are you happy to hear that. i would have liked him to meet putin and challenge putin. they have to meet every version in american leaders since the end of the second world war or durant from the second world war would stalin have met repeatedly over to vast number of important issues that need always to be monitored and somehow resolved or at least to keep tensions in check that's a long tradition there now we see people like even menendez saying he should only

go there to challenge him and all the others who were crying after helsinki they don't understand what how dangerous the talk is well maybe they do and they don't care which is even more troubling other developments prefilled this morning russia is moving to ramp up its defenses in crimea following those naval clashes with ukraine but deploying now a new s four hundred ninety aircraft missile system to recap if you catch up with all this last sunday russian border patrol sees three ukrainian ships in the peninsula while for violating territorial waters our senior correspondent goes to have guides you through more of the latest developments the s. four hundred triumph as the school does in essence a defense. of 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 that 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 in the market you are getting complacent. response just remember instead of you know you could you it was you

know you know when you're here were beautiful. beautiful but you got old i was sitting. with. you it would be unusual you some of us look at where you are. but you could be you could are you going you must hold off and i will tell you that you know because if you. don't know how. much is you're. going to. nevertheless this deployment of four hundred missiles is a serious move it does babson. message to the ukrainians that russia is willing and able to defend its territory irregardless of what incidents may come up next well to reiterate the official position of what's happened the courage straight here of claims it warned russia about the presence of its vessels in the air it says further its called the seizure of it ships an act of aggression and ukraine is

demanding the immediate release of twenty four crew members who are serving a two month pretrial detention right now here in russia. the lawyer who defended whistleblower edward snowden in hong kong has revealed he had to flee that city because of pressure from local authorities former cia employees snowden leaked those classified national security agency sets of data back in twenty thirteen on the u.s. government spying operations then you may recall he fled to hong kong where asylum seekers helped shelter him from the authorities right about two weeks it was huge news but then russia later granted him asylum he's been here for the last five years robert tibo a former lawyer for edward snowden now was given a some exclusive insights on how the whistleblowers helpers have been targeted. in late december two thousand and sixteen when i was in germany speaking at a conference the i received a phone call that the sri lankan police criminal investigation department had flown

into hong kong specifically targeting the snowden refugees so once i received that information from some witnesses i contacted the clients and i advised them to leave their homes immediately and we thought we had a secure locations for them and in march two thousand and seventeen the immigration department wrote to me and they said. basically they had said that they want and and they're still getting anything about the sri lankan police coming down . and they suggested we go to the police the first question police had for my clients it was all about. mr snowden and i had to put a stop to this quite frankly i was shocked that the holcomb police were focusing on mr snowden's activities in two thousand and thirteen one in two thousand and seventeen. the issue that the police had to address were the safety and security of my clients. point that raised a red flag for me and i became concerned the hong kong police had. put it to them

that the story about the sri lankan police coming to hong kong was fabricated and that i had fabricated the story and i asked my clients and also the sri lankan the witnesses to this refugees that they are asking them to make it up the hong kong police had actually asked the that had asked the witnesses to the police if they would testify against me in a criminal court. and you know without evidence and i realized that my instincts were right and it wasn't safe anymore then i found out they continued to arrest some of my clients and former clients and trying to make a case against me. and at that time because we had closed down our house and we had vacated it and on call i found out there were seven police officers at my former home and they were actively searching for me. in

front of their so-called yellow vest protesters have announced plans for more rallies against the president's fuel tax increase the money will microbes digging in though he's refusing to change course despite angry nationwide protests for the past fortnight. well last saturday's demonstrations led to a rest between the protesters the police again according to reports there are one hundred thirty i asked more than half of those happening in paris five officers were injured two let's not forget the people of the deal with this including one who suffered burns and that leads us on to our next story now the mayor of paris has joined one of france's police unions and expressing worries over the safety of officers the unions general secretary told r.t. france this

a period they say don't understand the conditions police face during the rallies. i started on want to show you this the police that overseen from the operation room at the headquarters to 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. i was told an interesting story one location workers were laying paving slabs and no one for management and told us to close off the area to prevent the protesters from pulling up those slabs and using them. those protests as a 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 they are against society they used in the protest movement is a pretext we had was opposed person for the yellow vests who was a representative indeed for the protesters during talks with the french government . we think we are forced to pay taxes saying that it is necessary for they send that letter the same time we do not see what has actually been done here and so it is the same cetacean on other issues i think they put all the problems together and today we see the results of this it does not surprise me there's so many people signed the petition because not everything is good and everyone understands that this the problem is how to get across it and the petition has become a way of trying to get explanations from the government. exclusive the case of maria burton a russian student currently accused of being a kremlin spied america as seen her request to be moved from solitary confinement rejected by u.s. court is the latest on it boys are still struggling to prove their innocence to

a mix is r.t. hawkins explains the species clues of lead to maria bush and his father about the efforts to free her own goalie how much do we know right now about the conditions that maria 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 and russia's foreign ministry believe she isn't deserving of it. what do you think could be behind this isn't to keep on mainly in those conditions. 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 enter 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 union workers very 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. 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 know where it is. i want to pay my huge respect to the american people maria has

never done anything wrong in the country her goal was to study and she did so very well you know and i hope that not only the court but all people who she was going on will come to the right conclusion but i hope they'll be assured that maria is not guilty that she isn't guilty of any wrongdoing or crime that 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 only did the education of children was no exception their own twisted ideas of what youngsters should be taught and how to teach it and artie's arabic channel got a glimpse of the kind of indoctrination that was going on for former facilities in iraq.

one would say he'd seize twenty three weapons as trophies from infidels while 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 a. red lion cubs of the caliphate where.

with all 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. tale isn't something you normally ever want to hope to see other much but dutch did have to take cover from flares a petrol bomb here a game in the greek capital on wednesday. in the way for champions league but that game a build up to a mob of violence seems like picks up the story. yet another night of senseless football related 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 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 travelled to slovenia as a matter of war 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 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 to the club from 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 is from a 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 for 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. the r.t. reporting from moscow. the german vice chancellor is pushing for a membership at the u.n. security council at the expense of france that would be the french have held one of the five permanent seats since the un ses 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 e.u. on buses to the united nations well the french ambassador to the u.s. has cast doubt on pearl is proposed already saying it contradicts the u.n. charter other french m.p.'s maybe not surprisingly voiced concern to all this comes after french president emmanuel mccrone announced his desire for an easy you army

earlier this month in plans also but bangalore merkel political analyst xandra told us that germany there was wrong to have made its un proposal public crucially. putting together all the europeans in one concept and one mccann ism is nearly impossible wave of germans have done so is exactly opposite to favorable issue. using a megaphone diplomacy to. do it all constraints of germany is the most efficient way of course in such a question has to be discussed not public. 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 it so so who votes making

the necessary concessions to other europeans is true recipe for disaster. for the news this morning u.s. officials have confirmed that a deadly bombing raid earlier this week in afghanistan's helmand province was carried out by american warplanes according to local officials thirty civilians were killed along with sixteen taliban fighters this young boy was in the air at the time it seems he survived the bombing the air strikes were called in by afghan government forces and the u.s. advisors after they came under fire from the taliban in a compound afghan government says that local forces were not aware they said any civilians in the area but relatives of the people who died described what happened . at around nine pm the first helicopter circled overhead and then a jet bombed a house there were thirty people in the family all of them gone one survivor is my

nephew he was at my house he is the only one who survived the others died a six month old baby among them. my demand to the government. you know why do they kill innocent people they didn't do anything wrong then you'll find all our stories and a lot more detail to on our website all tito called it a feature is a great pictures there ways to get involved have your say on all of stories as well that. here in moscow it's coming up to twenty seven minutes past one o'clock in the morning sure thomas is here through the morning to keep you updated on the latest for me kevin oh in a very good not war. i

mean i didn't find most unwelcome even even in the slightest and i never found welcoming and i've been going this instance the late ninety's that there is no doubt about the transformation of moscow and so far the city center and increasingly closer. to moscow is an incredible achievement it's one it's a very expensive it's human moscow has become at least in the sense a move that a livable place to use this kind of job and ultimately the long time effects of this of an improvement will take will take a long time to be measured because it's only just beginning. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be the death penalty just because i think that's fair think the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict just found innocent the idea that we more executing innocent people is terrifying there's just

no really hasn't been that we're even many victims' families want the death penalty to be a risk. we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families want to that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite we've been through this this isn't the way. hello i'm asked cons are and this is the kaiser report let's talk with stacey max i have one headline from financial times and two from wall street journal those are international financial news headlines and these are showing you

a story by juxtaposing these headlines and telling you a story that we have been telling you for several years now does the juxtaposition yes that's a great way to tell a story right the story that has been sold to many americans is that we america are the number one or oil producer in the world that is true that we're producing a great deal of oil a lot of it due to fracking so that's all well and good but none of those headlines in the mainstream media outside the financial press tells americans at what cost so i want to show you just the headlines and some quotes actually from the headlines to tell you the difference why america russia saudi arabia they all three are the largest producers of oil in the world and the difference in the call aust of production so this is from financial times and by the way it's from the fed has full times before the.
