certainly glad to have you with us. right donald trump has canceled a meeting with president putin which was due to be held at the upcoming g. twenty summit in argentina kremlin has described the move as regrettable saying the russian leader is ready for any future talks are too silly to try to has more. 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 plane donald trump said this i probably would be meeting with president bush we haven't terminated that meeting i was thinking about it but we haven't they feel like they're having i think it's a very good time to have to be getting the full report of the plane what happened
8:03 pm
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 who trumped 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 who are to emitting full simon 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
8:04 pm
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 russian official suggested that mr trump could have been forced to do this by the internal bickering if the u.s. was summoned washington using the third 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
8:05 pm
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 and it is there were sort of feels like we're in a wedding you have been watching perhaps 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 platen here however mr trump's week does it mean that the president will meet 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
8:06 pm
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 russia collusion probe the us president had some strong words for calm. he was convicted of various things unrelated that. he was given a fairly long jail sentence and he's a weak person. by being weak i'd like other people that 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. the u.s. it leader was referring to a scrap project to build a trump tower in moscow earlier the former lawyer said that talks on the project
8:07 pm
ended in january two thousand and sixteen but now he claims that was a lie and that the negotiations continued into june when trump was already the republican presidential nominee meanwhile u.s. senators including critics of russia are saying that calling off the president's talks 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 russian and american leaders since the end of the second world war or during from the second world war would stalin have met repeatedly over invest number of important issues that need always to be monitored and somehow resolved or at least to keep tensions in check not so 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 well maybe they do and they don't care which is even more troubling. the lawyer who defended edward snowden in hong kong
8:08 pm
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. robert 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 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
8:09 pm
their homes immediately and 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 weren't in vesta getting anything about the sri lankan police coming to hong kong and they suggested we go to the police the first question the 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 it. 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
8:10 pm
the witnesses to the snowden refugees that they asked them to make it up the hong kong police had actually asked the that had asked the witnesses to this for the police if they would testify against me in a criminal court. and you know without evidence and i realized 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 in hong kong i found out there were seven police officers at my former home and they were actively searching for me. the so called the yellow vest movement in france has vowed to hold further rallies nationwide against rising fuel taxes president emanuel metron is refusing to back down despite two weeks of mass unrest.
8:11 pm
last saturday's demonstrations led to a standoff with police there were one hundred thirty arrests more than half of those occurred in paris five officers were injured including one who suffered. the mayor of perestroika one of france's police unions and expressing worries over the safety of officers the union's general secretary told r.t. friends of their superiors do not understand the conditions police face during the rallies. started the interest of the police and overseen from the operation room at the headquarters to give orders saying that. the situation on the ground might be very different but
8:12 pm
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 willing paving slabs and the one from management to told us to close off the area to prevent the protesters from pulling out those slabs and using them. was those protesters are hooligans in criminals people who don't want to abide by the law the inside conflict they're ready to commit crimes on 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. we think we are forced to pay taxes saying that this is
8:13 pm
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 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 it has 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 still to come this r.t.s. because kes speaks exclusively with the father of maria but ana who is accused of working as a kremlin agent in the us to us. i've
8:14 pm
been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamped each day. eighty five percent of the global wealth he longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business shows you can afford to miss the one and only.
8:15 pm
are welcome back to watch march international live from moscow now the case of a russian woman accused of being an unregistered kremlin agent in america has seen her request 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 boots and his father about the efforts to free her. 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 and russia's foreign ministry believe she isn't deserving of it. what do you think could be behind this isn't a key point mainly in those conditions. the version being reported in the media is
8:16 pm
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 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. 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
8:17 pm
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 and i hope that not only the court but all people who she was going on will 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. thousands of children in iraq are still recovering from their time growing up in islamic states so called caliphate a year after the terrorist group was defeated the iraqi government released

8:20 pm
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
8:21 pm
standards from you a for let's go back to september twenty seventeen when spartak moscow travel 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 savan as well as the or 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 tally and capital they traveled 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
8:22 pm
for a question why are the standards so different if you a fire has this so-called zero tolerance policy towards 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 let's see russia r.t. reporting from moscow. the german vice chancellor has called for the e.u. to replace france as a permanent member of the u.n. 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 boss to the united nations of the french ambassador to the u.s. has cast doubt over berlin proposal saying it contradicts the u.n. charter of the french lawmakers also objected this comes after french president of

the new micron and chancellor angela merkel both called for the creation of an e.u. army earlier this month political analyst alexander adler 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 waver 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 cause such a question has to be discussed. public delta very much that such a sharing of european representation in the security council a new european it institutions can be. created soley by
8:24 pm
a dialogue between germany and france and doing in doing it so so votes making the necessary concessions to other europeans is a sure recipe for disaster. it seems that there is a new force in politics cats felines are increasingly being used by politicians to soften their image but is it working. so.
