i. see a. despite political tensions gripping the g twenty. on the left for them it seems is happy to meet and greet other leaders in a positive start proceedings even though donald trump of course counseled that much anticipated face to face with the russian leader. also.

back in europe. through the streets of the belgian capital as those so-called yellow vests movement. spread to brussels in a mimic protest following similar scenes in france the last few weeks. to racism in the middle. east like hawks from the fantasy classic no to the rings may in fact give victims of discrimination. international just gone ten pm here in moscow in argentina as capital points are is where the leaders of the world's most industrial economies are getting together.

despite a cloud hanging over a number of big issues and strange alliances for the leaders there things do appear to be getting off on a pretty positive. note . despite the pressure on the president putin leading up to this summer this seemed to be a cordial enough atmosphere that it. kept high again well. the u.s. . hold the breaking news. right on the plane i won't meet with. over ukraine the u.s. administration work clearly. a strong message to russia as they put it.

the aggression that we've witnessed this week. and a strong message has been sent place. that was a strong message isolation. isolation . well you can see this for an isolation didn't quite work and this might be one of the reasons why the u.s.

president. is rather gloomy you can read it off his face all throughout his stay in argentina he didn't the family photos he told off the translator he was being welcomed by the argentinean leader he's just all the time here in. the russian side. actually regret. direct contact with the however they're not making a big deal out of it. plenty of other things to do here. with the leaders of south america china india part of the ball. on the sidelines of. the russian president used this opportunity to hit the countries whose favorite international politics is.

competing increasingly replace the international dialogue based on honesty and equality. sanctions is expanding on this that when you as well as protectionist measures are violating the u.n. . there's also all the. old. with the. way on a different note was one of these. moments i should say before they had it. right when they arrived here.

it's the same thing that. the wrong time is that. thinks that. the talks with the russian president over domestic issues in fact in the us this is his theory. it's pretty clear that he's called it off because of domestic reasons the united states obviously his advisors have told him that hosting a meeting with vladimir putin at the moment is bad optics domestically and that's the only clear reason why he's done it i think that the chinese the china trump meeting is also connected to russia to a degree there are some people in america that feel that america should join up with russia kind of against china all of the that's not going to happen because moscow is not interested but that will be involved in this meeting i think the big

issue for europe and for russia involving the. meeting with the chinese president is that you know can things get worse i mean if it's already bad between russia and america what if it gets bad between china and america gets worse and worse and worse and we end up in a scenario where using ping is not even able to talk to trump i mean that's the worry going forward. elsewhere it's not this but an escalation of the latest showdown between moscow and kiev the ukrainian government now has announced that russian males aged sixteen to sixty will be banned from entering the country our senior correspondent we're going to have reports from crimea. well we've seen similar bans put in place over the last several years repeatedly where russian men were barred entry into ukraine but this is the first time that they've officially confirmed that russian men age sixteen to sixty new longer welcome or no longer allowed entry into ukraine 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 of the ukraine which have. to materialize but the russian the russians have also reacted the russian foreign ministry they've said that this is merely a political ploy a political play in order to shore up mr part. just four months to go until elections and martial law being put in place is an attempt by him to radicalize the 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 collecting opinions from people in the interview for example one woman amongst others who says that she has relatives in russia. relatives that you know it's going to be hard to contact because because of this new band 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 yet another

she adds good president. a name that brought the old smile among the. strange while the c.n.n. correspondent may be surprised that there are ukrainians who want friendly relations with russia the situation politically socially economically and ukraine isn't black and white there are many many people who share similar opinions who want three consult who want friendly relations and it's rare that we hear their opinions voiced in the mainstream media and western press nevertheless there are many many ukrainians who share similar opinions and who want this to when. he's been accused of forcing edward snowden's former lawyer to flee the city last year to pose spoke exclusively about the pressures he claims he faced and the victimization of the people who helped shelter snowden i can twenty thirteen. 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 when we had 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 whole complex 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 for the safety and security of my clients then i found out they continued to arrest some of my clients and former clients and trying to make a case against me. say employee snowden leaked classified national security agency data you may recall in u.s. government spying operations what caused it all in the first place he fled briefly

to hong kong where asylum seekers help sheltered from the authorities but two weeks after leaving hong kong through official channels at the time then he went on a trip to russia he was granted asylum he's lived there ever since but the reality was much more cruel it seems for the people who helped shelter the whistleblower back in hong kong with more of that sort of it robert to go again geog in hong kong there's a point two percent acceptance rate of asylum seekers so pretty much every single asylum seeker in hong kong will be rejected and deported the snowdrift proving that there are extraordinary individuals and this doesn't fit in with the narrative of the hong kong government. the government has portrayed asylum seekers is being undesirable criminals etc. trying to come into hong kong and take away jobs and financial prosperity called which is all nonsense and speculation my clients need to leave hong kong they need to leave to

a safe country because they're not safe in hong kong and. can't go back to the home countries. now is only a bit off the beaten track firms of the fantasy classic lord of the rings' know that the beast like orcs are a force to be reckoned with but one side author no believes in fact the way they've been depicted it looks racist and that he says has dire consequences for the whole of the rest of us in society. that's right beat back on. hard not so. hated notion and. so races are.

creatures that were sort of i eased out of the or sorry my audience had not a great deal of choice in the matter of what. are we not allowed to root against treacherous fictional cannibals anymore welcome to twenty one title. clearly the races of men elves and tulips should have welcomed the immigrants in this and allowed them to feast on the mound freshly designed how terribly racist of it is just a good triumphs over evil story not meant to be that deep.

well that you think about that story was still trying to work it out myself. after weeks of violent demonstrations in france talks between the french prime minister and represent his of the so-called yellow vests movement was set for this friday however it seems that didn't all go to plan for the protest as are your correspondents across this paper over in paris what went wrong on. right well this meeting was supposed to try and get out problems and stop a repeat of the violent scenes we saw last saturday when demonstrators come out on to the shelves elisei behind me here in paris this coming saturday. well it didn't go to plan at all really out of the six leadership members of the yellow vests only two of them showed up and out of those two one of them stayed for less than two minutes before storming out having this to say. the bar on the explained in

advance of the prime minister and then again that we would like our meetings to be filmed cost because i think i'm not a legitimate leader here but it was refused to force it when i learned it would not be films i left. of this has caused some people to question what the french prime minister was doing organizing this meeting in the first place if it wasn't going to be filmed the demonstrators had made it very clear that that was a crucial part of what they were demanding when it came to these talks one of the representatives though did remain in the meeting with the french prime minister we don't know what came out of that what we do know though is that demonstrations are still planned for saturday on the seans elisei just behind me here the third violence some horrible scenes from last saturday and what we have seen is violent scenes in a similar vein on friday in belgium in brussels the belgian capital resource mall crowd but certainly a very determined crowd they were able to cause an awful lot of damage in

a very short period of time only around five hundred people in not a group in brussels but they were chanting their solidarity with those protesters wanting to see a stop on fuel price rises here in france also they were protesting against what they see as a uncontrollable rise in the cost of living they also which on seeing that the. the french and the belgian government must step down. rocks were thrown at the police in that incident the police responded with tear gas and with with baton charges we understand that thousands were detained during that demonstration in belgium and really we are expecting more of the same here in paris for saturday we are expecting though a much larger police presence that we saw last saturday and they'll be looking to try and stop a repeat of the violent scenes. repeating themselves they are in the french capital . they have been pretty nasty of me ok we'll keep an armored tanks have a smudge the update from now on the meeting and indeed the spread of these protests

we heard from brussels place tunis lou ruvo he says these price hikes really are hitting people hamas where the right on the streets like this. this demonstration ed it initially being canceled because the organizers couldn't organize the security they said to the police so they had originally cancelled it and it's only through social media then a few hundred people were there at ten o'clock to demonstrate of these yellow vests oh like in france of course it's mainly in the french speaking part of the country of belgium that they demonstrate imitating france and in a sense but with the same ideas that taxation has come to. pave all levels people very peaceful everywhere with the yellow first to say that they were fed up with the taxes especially the tax on diesel the price of the few is sixty percent taxes fifty five to sixty percent depending on the country it's much too high and when you have a single mother with kids in the country that who needs her car to go to work and

earns one thousand one hundred may be met and has to pay three hundred three hundred fifty four for petrol or gas as you said american they can't do it anymore they're dying simply and it's the silent majority that pays its taxes normally love is like a washing machine the. claim is that president trumps former campaign chairman met several times with wiki leaks founder julian assange has taken a new twist we could reveal tonight a former cia officer is questioning the story saying it might have been planted by russia we go get more on the new york. 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 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 bombshell foreigners are held

a secret meeting around the same time that manaf were 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 yeah i'm being serious rather than being the bombshell smoking gun that directly connects to trump campaign to wiki leaks perhaps the report is something else entirely a decision from ation 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 bolstered the skepticism by quoting tweets from other gone

and glenn greenwald weekly itself r t also a crime and mouthpiece but neck 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 x. 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 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 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't see them doubt anonymous sources 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 stories almost the parity and next cia agent using a pen name says that if the guardian's hit piece on assad's in metaphor is false the russians must be behind it anyway you really can't make this up. because. his air is next for you again the g. twenty summit in what is or is already has a few awkward moments as we heard earlier on for the world leaders but there's

always one calls and the g twenty is was saying earlier on the matter where it's held it seems to be those days of mass mania and the capitalist protests reading the summit is out to get in argentina in twenty eighty don't overly patrolling in there when this is well poor plenty of attention from the public over this summit and lot of people were told to go on a bike and go on a holiday get out of the place because security was so tight they couldn't really get on with their lives what is the atmosphere like. well this march is really the culmination of a week long state and t g twenty protests what you see here is across spectrum of people there and a curse there are anti capitalist there are union workers there are students feminists you name it people have turned out here we are in downtown muniz air and the entire city is in lockdown today has been declared a public holiday and public transport has been cancelled flights are being diverted

now the argentinean operate hes are taking no chances some twenty two thousand police and security officers have been deployed throughout the city and for the better part of a year they've been working with international terror experts to try and thwart any kind of potential terror or cyber attacks the focus from a security point of view is on street protests and on terror scenes like this where you have marchers are really part and parcel of any g. twenty summit and there are marks of the freedom of the host city argentina itself is also no stranger to people on the streets it has a long tradition of demonstrations and while launching big in size very seldom have those protests erupted in violence but of course the focus right now is what will happen in the coming hours as you see the atmosphere and the mood. it is one of jovian this people are quite excited people are singing but there are real concerns that as the day progresses the scenes could deteriorate into clashes you know we've

got you in here down there following a forest if it does kick off come back as the other snow will tell our viewers as well thanks from now on the. train security services have raided the residence of a russian backed fathers of period for kids the biggest and oldest monastery is our next report the raid was carried out over accusations of causing into religious friction and this comes after the ukrainian orthodox church was granted independence from the russian church very recently by the patriarch of constantinople however the plan has been criticized by religious heads and ukraine for not and this is the catch specifying a date for the rule changes to come into effect. state politicians of the highest level who constantly promise cuts and all the suffering simply deceive us there is a full understanding of the fact that constant nobile leads us on with various promises since most likely it's statements about the ukrainian orthodox church are motivated by something more than just spiritual goals the chairman for the russian

orthodox church has also reacted saying it's the third time constantinople talked about granting autonomous powers for national churches but the still no conclusion in sight it went on to stress the separation is something orthodox believers don't actually want the breakaway crisis started last month when ukraine's government started pushing for the church's independence constantinople there and overturned a centuries old act of union to sever ties between kiev and moscow both the russian and ukrainian churches responded in turn to cut away from constantinople r.t. got the thoughts of a professor of church history to try to get to the bottom of what's happening here . goldman is really in a way trying to force canonical bishops and canonical church to produce vision quote unquote of unification so profitable. proceed your first series of structures here was to threaten with confiscation of churches and monasteries and they started to pull this plan into life all with which i. always chose one of the most

respected monasteries in the ukraine we could go on now is the day break their agreement. will not be able to use the premises anymore it's what the second step is trying to get a lot of the caves in kiev which is like the holiest place of both ukrainian and russian belorussian and also and all. the target. range had called her. apartment the residence or for metropolitan paul who is the obvious all lover all the cajun q is the second step of this strategy of intimidation and violence. follow for me from my growing number of shootings at schools and universities in

the u.s. has got administrator scrambling for a way to try to protect everyone on campus one university of michigan as a sort of the teach style for the students to fight potential shooters using whatever everyday objects 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 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 preach the word a three year old cannot defend itself from and so i pulled by throwing and hello kitty pencil case that our founding fathers did not put an age limit on the second amendment. here when you're up against a term protect yourself some of those thoughts the project will some highly controversial is going to fold not have a conversation of us stories by going to the comments section on our stories about c dot com we'll keep.
