want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. you are producing a lot of oil and gas now or energy independent where as big as in russia and saudi arabia but as you're making there is that they're actually losing money on their back. donald trump cancels a meeting with president putin scheduled for the g twenty summit in argentina over the recent church street clash between russia and ukraine. the yellow vest movement in france are plans another series of rallies against president micron's

that fuel tax increase while french police demand more support from the government . 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 take from only cation because they're sitting in their office. in champions league football match descends into chaos in greece with home fans throwing flares and a molotov cocktail at rival supporters. who speak exclusively to the father of my your boots and your russian student accused of being a kremlin agent in america. she isn't guilty of any wrongdoing or crime she didn't do any harm to the states she respected that much and still respects it. and it is nov thirtieth here in moscow at r.t. international that means in. my brother killingsworth is happy birthday it also

means there's a lot of news to cover so let's get right to it. all right donald trump has canceled a meeting with president putin which was due to be held at the upcoming g. twenty summit in argentina the kremlin has described the move as regrettable saying the russian leader isn't ready for any future talks and he's only trying as the latest 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 of his plate donald trump said this i probably will be meeting with president bush 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 to be getting the full report of the plane what happens next and that that will determine whether 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 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 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 internal bickering in the u.s. with some in washington using the carriage trade incident has a free text earlier on thursday there was something else really adding fuel to the

fire donald former lawyer michael colons testimony who admitted that he lied to u.s. officials about the way that donald trump communicated 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 we're side of that is the groom enters a minister we're 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 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. meanwhile there's speculation that trump called off the meeting with putin for a very different reason that is after trump's former lawyer michael cohen pleaded guilty to lying to congress in the russian occlusion probe the us president had some strong words for cohen. he was convicted of various things unrelated. he was given a fairly long jail sentence and he's a weak person as we cried like other people that you watch he's 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 us leader was referring to a scrapped a project to build a trump tower in moscow earlier the former lawyer said the talks on the project

ended in january two thousand and sixteen but now he claims i was a lie and the negotiations continued well into trump's presidential campaign and meanwhile u.s. senators including critics of russia are saying is that calling off the president's talks was a mistake. we just learned from the president and he has 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 who are. they have to meet every russian and american leaders since the end of the second world war from the second world war which stalin have met repeatedly over and 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 and 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 or maybe they do and they don't care

which is even more troubling russia's bolstering its defenses in crimea after a naval clash with ukraine by deploying a new anti-aircraft missile system last sunday a russian border patrol seized three ukrainian ships in the peninsula moscow says for violating territorial waters our correspondent our guys have talks us through the latest developments 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 defensive weapon this is the fourth detachment of s. four hundred missiles to be stationed in crimea over the last several years it's 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 prove others at all happy about it now i'm going to my sister was in the market for my children were getting complacent and snippy as mr johnson used to my mom didn't you know you could you do it because you know you know when you were you were able to muster what beautiful. beautiful boys you got all that was is see him but you don't know when you know it would be that you meet or you would. be unusual some you suppose a little bit where you were at the police you could be you could are you going to

new motion was also noble to you but you there's a particular problem for us of the. fact that he's not good he says because i don't know how to get. much as you are. going to. nevertheless this deployment of four hundred missiles is a serious move it is babson message to the ukrainians that russia is willing and able to defend its territory irregardless of what incidents may come up next as for ukraine kim claims it warned russia about the presence of its vessels in the area and it called the seizure of its ships an act of aggression ukraine is demanding the immediate release of twenty four crew members who are serving a two month pre trial detention in russia. the lawyer who defended edward snowden in hong kong has revealed the whistleblower

had to flee the city back in two thousand and thirteen due to pressure from chinese authorities former cia employee snowden leaked a vast trove of classified national security agency data on u.s. government spying operations he fled to hong kong where asylum seekers helped shelter him from the authorities for two weeks russia later granted him asylum and he has lived in this country ever since you know my son robert tibo a former lawyer for edward snowden gave us some exclusive insights on how the whistleblowers helpers in hong kong were targeted in late december two thousand and sixteen when i was in germany speaking at a conference the i received a phone call and 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 had 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 were in vesta getting anything about the sri lankan police coming to hong kong 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 whole 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. at that 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 into 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 snow drift. 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 realised 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. 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. i do so-called yellow vest movement in france has a valid to hold for their rallies nationwide against rising fuel taxes president of iran is refusing to back down by two weeks of mass unrest.

last saturday's demonstrations led to a standoff with police and there were one hundred thirty arrests more than half of those occurring in paris five officers were injured including one who suffered. the marrow of paris joined one of france's police union expressing worries over the safety of officers unions general secretary told r.t. friends their superiors do not understand the conditions police face during the rallies. started on martin short intervals the police and overseen from the operation room at the headquarters they give orders saying do that go then 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 of one location workers willing paving slabs and the one for management to told us to close off the area to prevent the protesters from pulling out those slabs and using them. i. those protests is hooligans and criminals the people who don't want to abide by the law the inside conflict they are ready to commit crimes in the question of who they really are i would say they are against society they use in the protest movement is a pretext we heard from a spokesperson for the yellow vests who represented the movement during talks with the french government. was e.s.o.p.'s within where forced to pay taxes saying that this is necessary for they send that but at the same time we do not see what has

actually been done here as such is 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 still to come this hour r.j. speaks exclusively with of the father of maria who is accused of working as a kremlin agent in the us.

in fact a recent poll of gallup poll some thirty 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 or appetite for this kind of any russian politics is being stand by a media political establishment.

america's r.t. international a case of a russian woman accused of being an unregistered kremlin agent in america has seen her requested to be moved from solitary confinement rejected by u.s. court lawyers are still struggling to prove her innocence artie's daniel hawkins spoke exclusively to my father about the efforts to free her 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 deserve. when you get. what do you think could be behind this engine to keep and mainly in those conditions should certainly years of version 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 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 dog and human workers that 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 in 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. 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 she didn't do any harm to the state she respected that much and still respects it. champions league football match in greece descended into mayhem on wednesday fans of the dutch club had to take cover from flares and a molotov cocktail being thrown by supporters of a. ski as more. 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 fine 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 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

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 all bets for a question why are the standards so different if you a fire 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. the german vice chancellor has called for the e.u. to replace france as a permanent member of the un security council france has held one of the five permanent seat since the organization was created after world war two i realize this will take some convincing in paris but it would be 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. the french ambassador to the u.s. has cast a doubt over berlin's proposal saying it contradicts the u.n. charter other french lawmakers are also objected this comes after french president emanuel and chancellor angela merkel both called for the creation of an e.u. army earlier this month political analyst alexander told us that germany is wrong to have made its un proposal public. 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 soothe old constraints of germany is one of the most efficient way to course is such

a question has to be discussed not in public i dealt very much that such a sharing of european representation in the security council and new european institutions can be. created soley by a dialogue between germany and france and doing in doing so without making the necessary concessions to other europeans is a sure recipe for disaster. it seems that there is a new force in politics cats if you minds are increasingly being used by politicians to soften their image but is it working.

and there you have it international be back with more news stay with us.
