subscribe to well people also give already comes in for just twelve euros fifty per month. political flashpoints. in argentina as don't expect. to encounter.

days of protests in the run up to the summit with the demonstrations might. illustrate in the streets. also this hour. the lawyer claims the whistleblower was forced to flee hong kong in twenty thirty after pressure from chinese authorities. this is this was not an ordinary situation he literally minutes. once i was instructed. to make decisions would affect his liberty like. racism in middle. east like from the fantasy classic in order to bring. discrimination.

for me in the team and. welcome to the program it's nine am here in moscow and three in the morning and one also areas where leaders of the world's most industrialized economies are getting together. yeah the g. twenty summit kicks off in argentina later this friday and there's a lot at stake as well but two leaders have already made headlines even before the official opening was donald trump canceled his much awaited meeting with the kind of explains. bated breath the world waited for another announced meeting between the presidents of russia and the united states but then lo and behold the twitter

sphere lights up with news that the meeting is off the issue was the maritime incident between russia and ukraine but one trump was leaving for argentina it seemed to everyone that the meeting was still on probably were. but we. think it's a very good. that was despite the media beating the drums of war why does this present seem so simple when it comes to vladimir putin a lot of demands on the president right now to get tough on russia we've got to be tough with them it's the only thing putin understands he just seems incapable of criticizing putin i don't want him to do that again stand next to putin and said well that was a provocation by the ukrainians that would not be in america's national interest just better not that the media coverage like this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone the last time the two leaders met the media went into a total meltdown hell think he was treated like an abomination now every aspect of

the face to face meeting was question there were calls for the interpreter to testify before congress there were some who wanted the ball that putin gave to trump to be inspected for k.g.b. style bugs there were rumors that hypnotism could have been at play and amid all of this frenzy trump actually backtracked. some of his words about election hacking president putin he just said it's not russian i will say this i don't see any reason why it would be looking for a reason also also one sentence should have been i don't see any reason why i wouldn't or why it would be rush sense then another meeting had been in the works for a month and the two leaders had plenty to discuss president trump would look forward to seeing you in paris it's still important to work in areas where there is a possibility of mutual cooperation president meet with president putin i think it will be a full agenda the issues that we have on security issues on arms control issues and regional issues including the middle east last month the two world leaders opted

not to me not wanting to steal the thunder of the world war one commemorations this time they are stealing the founder of the g twenty by not having a meeting table mup and r.t. new york will come cancelling the meeting with putin spoke why debate in the media russia u.s. relations right now today on our taste sophie shevardnadze discusses that with the chief editor and publisher of the nation magazine in the us. the irony is that trump is hawkish he's brought in john bolton as your viewers may know and the leading neo conservative who was the architect of america's withdrawal from the ne ballistic missile treaty in two thousand and two the sanctions continue so the relationship is at its lowest most dangerous point and i just think trump doesn't have a team that is capable of moving in a different direction nor is he disciplined enough for american establishment for american politicians for american media it is just that it sells so well to have

this anti russian stance i'm just wondering maybe you know it's just going to go on forever because there's so little consequences to pay cannot make way with let me put it a different way the election we just had showed the disconnect between the media political establishment and ordinary people russia gate the scandal alleging that putin put trump in the white house was not an issue in the election it didn't figure the issues were issues like health care like pensions which i think is a big issue in russia too but what we call bread and butter issues in fact a recent poll a gallup poll showed fifty seven percent of americans want to more cooperative relationship with russia so there's a disconnect that a smart politician democrat would understand needs to be seized. an awful programs here in a few hours time the negotiations on where the world head next to not expected to

be easy with nation divided on the solutions to many critical problems facing the globe if you patrol because in one of sarah's for us with more on what's ahead right now there are two cities and boy this one behind these fences for the g. twenty leaders and one on this side for everyone else and it does make sense because those who are attending are the most powerful people in this world these are really the. the ones that are making our planet spin. gold the folks from that point aside us have recently made us realize that we are and be living in a multi-polar world where everyone's holding on to their national interests and that head of the summit has led to a whole lot of problems between those who've been saying my country first.

donald trump lately after china all the time he has blamed beijing for stealing to call g unfair trade and even meddling in the us mid terms the great ability we found that china has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming twenty eight. election against my administration because i am the first president ever to challenge china on trade beijing has been much more careful with what they're saying but they are giving out warnings to in the last century we had two world wars and in between them the great depression i don't think anybody should really try to have a repetition of history these things should never happen again so people have to act in a responsible way. the brutal murder of

journalist jamal khashoggi has been taken it's toll on how the rest of the world's been dealing with saudi arabia's mohamed bin saw money by the way has been in bonus a lot of since wednesday on the snow this year we look at the monstrosity that happened in the sound made in concert and it must be cleaned up as long as it's not that would be nice. i can assure you have not. someone else saying go america is not a big fan of is us president donald trump along with one of her best european buddies emanuel macron they're trying to push for a european army and donald trump really hates that idea now mr macron who's really been trying to make an effort to become close friends with mr trump it seems is beginning to have issues with the u.s. administration truth said some of trump's recent decisions have been done to the

detriment of. these fundamental overtones the legal basis for france that ties between japan and south korea and is extremely regrettable that was what took you had to say on south korea's supreme court verdict ordering a japanese firm to pay compensation to koreans for forced labor during world war two and as you heard that ruling could be enough to reignite old has still between the countries. the u.k.'s painful divorce might lead to a few awkward moments for two reasons. the prime minister will be looking for new friends at the summit and she's convinced other countries will feel the same way we might as well bear all of that in mind when we see team g twenty getting together for the family photo perhaps some of those smiles will have to be faked. a wall

well the latest prepared to sit down for the much anticipated summit protesters have been out in force for days in the host city has been speaking with some of them. but this is the main plaza where for the past two days some twenty social movements have been holding debates to lectures discussions and as you see behind me protests and demonstrations against the g twenty they could have signs that for being a summit that promotes big business and imperialism now the mood is certainly one of jovial miss just a few meters down the road some twenty two thousand police officers have been deployed there is big concern that these protests could evolve into violence come friday mid afternoon when a massive demonstration is planned through the city center at the same time the

police have warned the potence organizers that they will not tolerate people wearing mosques or carrying out any kind of violence i'm skeptical i'm skeptical because i think all the biggest negotiations there are already made and that's a huge show and they could use the money for other things to feel some some tensions here there were demonstrate on the streets if there freight that there will be. repression against them to try more explain. what's going to. get through this a small table of leaders that try to explain and soul and it makes some consensus about the global crisis but they don't have any clue about how to solve the crisis at the moment in argentina we are live in a big prize this economic god we are trying to show the world that.

the g. twenty. it doesn't belong to the people the government of argentina has. almost daily protests over its economic program but what's different this time around is that the city is in lockdown residents of have been encouraged to leave the city the public transport is not working and friday has been declared a public holiday. r t. on to our other headline news now the lawyer who defended edward snowden in hong kong has revealed that the n.s.a. whistleblower had to flee the city back in twenty thirty because of pressure from the chinese authorities or to talk to us exclusively on his claims that the whistleblower was hounded by police. when mr snowden was in hong kong in two thousand and thirteen. it wasn't

a situation where the most wanted man on the planet with the world's largest manhunt underway. this is this was not an ordinary situation i literally had minutes. you know once i was instructed by mr snowden to make decisions that would affect his liberty in this life former cia employee snowden leaked a vos 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's lived here ever since. and china says it was edward snowden himself who took the decision to leave quote through a lawful and normal channel but insists that snowden was persecuted as were the other refugees who were sheltering him. they 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 serious secure locations for them the first question police had for my clients was all about. mr snowden and i had to put a stop to this quite frankly i was shocked at the local 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. a growing number of shootings at schools and universities in the u.s. has got administrative scrambling for ways to protect everyone on campus oakland university in the state of michigan has decided to teach its students to fight potential shooters using whatever everyday objects come to hand.

they have enough mass to cause injury small enough to be thrown. in a matter of seconds. no way you can lock a door with this it can't get shot out you can't get around it.

it's something that we should think about america about putting guns in the hands of law abiding citizens whether they actually be talented children or how to train a three year old cannot defend itself from a rifle by throwing a hello kitty pencil case of it our founding fathers do not put an age limit on the second amendment. without say there's a new twist in accusations that donald trump's former campaign chairman meant julian assange i guess he's being accused of planting the story we'll tell you after the break. you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up

to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. with manufactured consent of the public wealth. when the ruling class is protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. normal middle of the room sick.

welcome back sensational claims that president trump's former campaign chairman met several times with wiki leaks founder julian assange has taken a new twist a former cia officer is questioning the story saying it might have been planted by russia more on that from daniel holkins. it's another link in the chain of the trump russia collusion probe the guardian article exposing alleged multiple meetings between the former chairman of from his presidential campaign and wiki leaks founder julian assange and that's really caused quite a stir in the u.s. media story is shaking washington that is a bombshell manifold and saw it held a secret meeting around the same time that manna for join the trump campaign a direct connection between the campaign and wiki leaks they actually published e-mails that were hacked by the russians now stolen by russian spies but doubt soon

began to emerge about the article's content and sources but not to warry politico has the answer even if the guardian story is false it's all russia's fault you know i'm being serious rather than being the bombshell smoking gun that directly connects the trump campaign to wiki leaks perhaps the report is something else entirely a distance from ation campaign is it possible someone planted the story as a means to discredit john n'est ce that article was written by next year yeah agent under a pen name to prove a point the former officer draws our attention to those who dare question this bombshell. russia's disinfo nation that what has jumped into the ring to promote skepticism of the story sputnik one of russia's propaganda networks called the story into question and bolstered the skepticism by question tweets from other gone and john glenn greenwald and wiki leaks itself r.t. also a kremlin mouthpiece can with leaks do you see a pattern here it's clear why there's some skepticism the story raises more

questions than answers both we kill eeks and matter for strongly deny the meeting even threatening legal action ok perhaps they're both simply covering for each other you could say but assad is a man under close surveillance with police literally on his doorstep a few days pass yet no other source can confirm or show substantial evidence of manifolds alleged visit to the ecuadorian embassy because an image or apparently the washington times says pull manifolds passports show he didn't even visit london in those years the guardian claim and r.t. are the only ones asking for evidence who are the sources if you can say then doubt anonymous source and is dangerous at best striking catalogue of reflexive credulous acceptance of a story that looked shaky from the start and looks more so by the day maybe they've all been duped by russia but what does politico think this fake news operation by russian intelligence actually proves someone is novice and eager to lay the

groundwork for yelling fake news out whatever other stories are about to drop so either what the guardian says is true and there is collusion or it's a fake story planted by the russians which also proves collusion win win situation one thing seems clear someone is feeling the heat. the story's almost a parody an ex cia agent using a pen name says that if the guardianship piece on a sergeant metaphor is false the russians must be behind it anyway you really can't make this up. fans of the fantasy classic lord of the rings' know that the beast like orcs are a force to be reckoned with but one of the beliefs of the way they're depicted in the books is racist and that has dire consequences for society.

looks like me back on that. it's hard not. to know surely i'm told so. creatures that were sort of why is that all the are are. not a great deal of choice in the matter what they.

are we not allowed to root against treacherous fictional cannibals any more welcome to twenty in one time. clearly the races of men elves and boards should have welcomed the immigrants in this and allowed them to feast an older man freshly designed how terribly racist often it is just a good triumphs over evil story not meant to be that deep. germany's vice chancellor is pushing for the european union to have a place at the un security council by suggesting france should share its seat the french upheld one of the five permanent seat since the united nations was formed in one hundred forty five. 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 to the united nations as you might imagine the french u.n.

ambassadors knocking saying it contradicts the organizations charter french m.p.'s on exactly happy either the proposal comes after president mccrone suggested the creation of an army earlier this month and got backing from germany's angela merkel political analyst alexander adler told us germany's wrong to have made it a un proposal public putting together all the europeans in one concept and one mccain ism is nearly impossible waiver journeys have done so is exactly opposite. favorable e.c.u. . using a megaphone diplomacy to do it all the constraints of germany is one of the most efficient way to course in such a question has to be discussed. in public to very much such a very european representation in the security council a new european it institutions can be. created soley by

a dialogue between germany and france and doing been doing it so so involved to making the necessary concessions to other europeans is a sure recipe for disaster and now you're up to date from a new team in moscow thanks for choosing r.t. if you will use this hour your next update from us is in thirty five minutes time to see that. tax rises financial survival guide stacey let's learn a salad fill out let's say i'm the troika and here i am greece banks of the fight wall street fraud thank you for helping.

on the story that's right. the debt slavery. going to places like camp sundown to get for people that can't. and they're like so tired. like a safe housing and they don't have to talk about what they go through with this because we understand her daughter katie was diagnosed with a very rare son sensitive condition if i get sunburned i heal she does there's real patients when they have problems with the walk to talk to your son the brains of actually shrinking inside the skull gets taken in the brain still small. the pain is indescribable it's feels like a really really bad chemical burn but it goes through your skin in your muscles always down to the bone and there's no relief. so we're just not sure this is just.

the fate of julian assange is unclear washington is determined that he sent to the u.s. to face criminal charges most likely under the one nine hundred seventy s. . the british government is more than happy to make this happen even the ecuadorians are in the army after we are watching unfold in front of our eyes is the criminalization of journalists. god. bless america work will be good.
