this. holistic old. trade. in argentina. expectedly called off is much anticipated and. that's coming up in the

program this. is former lawyer tells us that whistleblower was forced to flee hong kong in twenty three after pressure from chinese authorities. this is this was not an ordinary situation i literally. minutes. once i was instructed. to make decisions that would affect his liberty. and racism in middle earth. or. maybe victims of this nation. alone welcome to our two international on this the last day all of november a chilly friday here in moscow but the sun is in argentina's capital where leaders of the world's most industrial. greece will get to gather in

a few hours' time. yet the g twenty summit kicks off a little bit later today with a lot at stake but two leaders have already made headlines even before the official opening with a double trump canceling his much awaited meeting with vladimir putin. and talks just for. 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 seems 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 by. there were rumors that hypnotism could have been at play and amid all of

this frenzy trump actually backtracked on 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 when someone is sent should have been i don't see any reason why i wouldn't or why it would be rash sense than another meeting had been in the works for months 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 on 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 a former top u.s.

state department official lawrence wilkinson believes it's the russia cold lucian navigations that moved trump to council the putin meeting i think this was all based on domestic politics there is growing concern in the us congress and growing concern out amongst the american people about the investigation about the possibility of there being collusion between the administration and moscow about trump's russia contacts period and so i think he's doing all he can now to demonstrate that there is no such thing as collusion there's no such thing as a. relationship between him and moscow that is anything other than formal and official and so he uses this in the cancellation of the meeting on the side of the buenos aires g twenty as a way of demonstrating that to his base and to the american people in the congress

. well another backdrop to today's meeting in argentina of the g. twenty president trumps former lawyer michael cohen pleaded guilty on thursday to lying to congress in the continuing russia collusion probe the us president had some strong words for quinn. 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 oh 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 ok let's just go through some of the allegations here what's being spoken about the u.s. leader was referring to a scrap project to build the trump tower in moscow earlier cohen said the talks on the project that ended in january twenty sixth mean he now admits that was a lie and not the negotiations continued into june when trouble was already the

republican presidential nominee former wall street journal correspondent told us there have been efforts to stop trump meeting with the never since their summit in helsinki. time very well timed release of cohen having lied about want not about collusion to change the election results but about a business deal or had been going on and maybe was still going on and he lied about it because he was afraid that it could be construed that way i don't really know exactly the details of that business deal but there's still no collusion but trump you will see how russia gate even without proof of collusion is having its effect on relations between the united states and russia you had to cancel this meeting and this is a very serious matter it's just it is internal politics that's having an international effect at the g.r.u. indictments were far more serious and this summit was far more important terms of its build up thank you very much and trump went to the summit house thank you course and the reaction here in the u.s.

was beyond belief this time i think maybe trump got the message. well back to the g. twenty itself and negotiations on where the direction of where the world heads next are not expected to be easy with nations divided on the solutions to many critical problems facing the world. is in buenos aires for us with more on what is ahead. right now there are two cities a boy and a scientist 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 ones that are making our planet spin. the world 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 ahead 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 jeep unfair trade and even meddling in the us mid terms china has been attempting to interfere in our election 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 the great depression 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 and stall 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 audits since wednesday on the snow this year we look at the monstrosity that happened in the sound and made in construction talk eat as long as it's not that would be nice. to saudi arabia. someone else saying hello marco 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 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 treats said some of trump's recent decisions have been done to the detriment of. the u.k.'s painful

divorce from you it might lead to a few awkward moments for two reason me. 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. yeah so a lot of those known knowns as they say at this summit but if there is one constant at any g twenty no matter where it's held it's the days of mainly anticapitalist protests or running the summit. is no exception.

ok to more global news this hour there is an escalation in the latest showdown between moscow and kiev the ukrainian government has announced that russian meals age sixteen to sixty will not be by. from entering the country let's go live now to crimea or senior correspondent. rather another day another development in this tell us more about what we know. well we've seen similar bans put in place over the last several years repeatedly russian men were barred entry into ukraine but this is this is the first time that they've officially confirmed that russian men age sixteen to sixty new longer welcome were no longer allowed entry into ukraine and the president has talked about this he has

said that one of the justifications is to prevent russia from forming private armies inside ukraine we must remember of course that president poroshenko over the last four years has full cost repeated russian invasions into ukraine which of failed to materialize but the russian the russians have also reacted to the russian foreign ministry they've said that this is merely a political ploy a political play in order to shore up mr partial ratings because this comes on the back of martial law being put in place in many areas of ukraine by civil liberties civil rights drastically restricted we've seen protests already forcefully broken up under the pretext of martial law and the russians are saying that this is another ploy by mr poroshenko to you know with just four months to go until elections and martial law being put in place is an attempt by him to radicalize to

solidify the base and to guarantee himself more votes russia meanwhile that said that it is not planning on responding in kind that it isn't going to put in place any sort of restriction on ukrainians coming into russia for now but we've seen other restrictions put in place by the government in kiev we've seen for example foreigners banned from moving. into from journeying into crimea from the ukrainian side this includes journalists and this is drastically called complicated jobs because now foreign correspondents seeking to cover events in crimea even if they do manage to get into crimea they you know they might be punished by the ukrainians but we've seen a c.n.n. crew for example now in marry you pool which is a ukrainian city in the south of ukraine they've been going around they've been talking collecting opinions from people in the interview for example one woman

among others who says that she has relatives in russia relatives that you know it's going to be harder to contact because because of this new ban there are millions of russians and ukrainians on both sides of the border that have relatives on the other side and she identified herself as one of those. if we had a normal president she says women work like this in this kind of job. she had a good president. named that brought the old smile among them. strange. while it may be surprising that c.n.n. that c.n.n. correspondent is surprised that this turn of events it's worth many mentioning that there are millions of people in ukraine with similar opinions it isn't black and white and we rarely see them voiced those opinions on mainstream television and western press. that the situation in ukraine economically politically socially is

much more complicated much more great than it is than it is shown to us usually taking us through the latest our senior correspondent. the lawyer who defended edward snowden in hong kong has revealed to us the n.s.a. whistleblower had to flee the city back in twenty thirteen because of pressure from chinese off dorothy's roberts to talk to us exclusively on his claims that whistleblower was hunted by police. when mr snowden was in hong kong in two thousand and thirteen. it was in 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 it

would affect his liberty in his life just a reminder former cia employee snowden leak de vos trove of classified national security agency data on u.s. government spying operations he then 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 since you know china however ses it was edward snowden himself who took the decision to leave quote through a lawful un normal channel but robert insist snowden was persecuted where the other refugees who were sheltering. 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 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 that 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 us has got administrators scrambling for ways to protect everyone on campus one university in michigan decided to teach stuff on students to take potential shooters using whatever every day objects may come to. 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 they 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 assault rifle by throwing a hello kitty pencil case so that our founding fathers do not put an age limit on the second amendment. just coming up to twenty minutes past two pm here in moscow i'm back after the break with more news.

wrong. to shape our. worlds apart. to look for common ground. ok we come back with an update from afghanistan where u.s. officials have confirmed that a deadly bombing raid earlier this week in the country's helmand province was

carried out by american warplanes local officials say thirty civilians were killed along with more than a dozen taliban fighters this young boy was in the area and survived. all mean the earth strikes were called in by afghan government forces other u.s. advisers after they came under fire from the taliban in the compound the afghan government sees local forces were not aware of any civilians in the area relatives of the dead have been describing water. but never given out around nine pm the first helicopters circled overhead and then a jet from the house there were thirty people in the family all of them. 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. reminds him onto the government is to know why do

they kill innocent people they didn't do anything room. claims that president trump's former ter kim campaign chairman excuse me 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 moscow or in the know with danielle hawkins it's another link in the chain of the trumped russia collusion probe the guardian article exposing alleged multiple meetings between the former chairman of trump's presidential campaign and wiki leaks founder julian assange and naturally it's caused quite a stir in the u.s. media story is shaking washington that is the bombshell man of foreigners. held a secret meeting around the same time that man a four joined the tram 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 distant from asian campaign is it possible someone planted the story as a means to discredit the journalists 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 rush's disinflation network has jumped into the ring to promote skepticism of the story sputnik one of russia's propaganda networks called the story into question and bolster the skepticism by quoting tweets from ever gone and glenn greenwald wiki leaks itself r t also a crime and mouthpiece but nec and wiki leaks do you see a pattern here it's clear why there's some skepticism the story raises more

questions than answers both. for strongly deny the meeting even threatening legal action ok perhaps they're both simply covering for each other you could say but assad has 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 a minister apparently the washington times says paul 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't see them doubt anonymous sources is dangerous at best. striking catalog 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 nervous and eager to lay the

groundwork for yelling fake news out what 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 and next 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. funds of the fantasy classic lord of the rings' know that the beast like orcs are a force to be reckoned with but one side if i or three believes they way they're depicted in the books is racist and that has dire consequences for society let's take a look. write

me back on that. it's hard not. to know surely. creatures that were sort of were raised. by adults. and not a great deal of choice in the matter what.

are we not allowed to root against treacherous fictional cannibals any more welcome to twenty in one time. clearly the races of men. should have welcomed the immigrants and allowed them to feast on freshly designed how terribly racist. it is just a good triumphs over evil story not meant to be that deep. thought is instead schoolgirls kidnapped and millions forced to flee their homes in nigeria all the. militant groups but the locals are fighting back the story of tribesmen turning vigilantes next and hunting.

match geysers financial survival guide liquid out those that you can convert into a cast quite easily. to keep in mind though as if i'm into a pleasure. or. good a place called camp sundown camp for people that can't decide and they're like so tired. this is like a safe house i guess they don't have to talk about what they go through with us because we understand her daughter katie was diagnosed with a very rare sun sensitive condition if i get sunburned i heal she does there's real patients and they have problems with the walk to talk to some of the brains that are actually shrinking inside the scolded speaker 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 muscle all it down to the bone. is no relief. we're not sure. but just. in fact a recent poll a gallup poll showed fifty seven percent of americans want a more cooperative relationship with russia so there is a disconnect that is smart politician democrat would understand the 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. the fate of julian assange is unclear washington is determined that he sent to the us to fail.
