i know them. well reduce some lower. that's good for market good for the global economy. even though. face to face with.

the so-called. racism in middle. school. where leaders of the world's most industrialized 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 footing. you know. well thursday the u.s. dollar hole the breaking news. right on the plane i won't meet with. over ukraine the us administration work clearly trying to send a strong message to russia as they put it the aggression that we witnessed this week on acceptable and strong messages from some place. that was a strong message just isolation isolation. well

as 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 could read it off his face all throughout his stay in argentina he didn't the family photos. he pulled off the translator as he was being welcomed by the argentine ian leader and he's just

frowning all the time here in. the. 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. part of the. country's. international politics. increasingly replace the international dialogue based on honesty and equality. as well as protectionist measures. there are quite

a few so-called. more important. french leader. in the. now speaking of the french happen to be one of those. guests. before they went to argentina.

you.

know quite a plan the well you buy the business because of who sold today the frog she told me cooling off the talks between. nothing from washington the meeting was intending to move forward but he had his neo con convention of people that is based support with a bass or bolton as well as conversation with kelly and pompei o who are extremely anti russia full of russia phobia i believe very fundamentally that when they had their private time with him using the ukrainian situation as an excuse this was a good optics and image thing for them to cancel this meeting chancellor merkel the austrians the italians there are many within the european community that may make a stance one way or another on the ukrainian situation but still desire to have trade dialogue and a deescalation of unnecessary tensions with the russian federation and you'll see them meet and have a dialogue just like chancellor merkel is doing and that is much better path

forward then shining and not. conversations are letting unnecessary tensions escalate so as you saw the g twenty some of those in a few moments already for world leaders but for one thing you can guarantee on there's a constant at the g. twenty the matter what happens you always get days of mass million tick up at those protests surrounding the summit was the same case and what is ours as well paula slee reports from. 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 were in downtown air and the entire city is in lockdown today has been declared a public holiday and all public transport has been cancelled flights are being diverted now the argentinean operate he's 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 in the mood is one of jovial most people are quite excited people are singing but there are real concerns that as the day progresses the scenes could deteriorate into clashes.

with the g twenty is but it has collation the latest showdown. to moscow and kiev the ukrainian government and russian males aged sixteen to sixty will be banned from entering the country a senior correspondent orgasm have reports from crimea well we've seen similar bans put in place over the last several years repeatedly where russian men were entry into ukraine but this is the first time that they've officially confirmed that russian men age sixteen to sixty longer welcome were 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 for 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 parr shanku ratings 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 it to 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. in the. 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 you know that she had good president's. name but 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 in ukraine isn't black and white there are many many people who share similar opinions who

want to reconsolidate 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. yellow vest protests against soaring fuel prices have spread from france to belgium now we can report drivers took to the streets of brussels in solidarity with the french movement our correspondent peter all of the latest from paris where the government just held a meeting with activists in a bid to try and quell this unrest why 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 key leadership members all 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. so the experimental bar on the us is i already spoke about this before coming here and then again expressed this to the prime minister i wanted this meeting to be fully recorded on camera and broadcast live on the so the french people could watch it because i don't deserve to be here more than anyone else but i was denied this i made a commitment to my family that i would leave if the meetings wasn't going to be recorded as well 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 so 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 as they turn to violence some horrible scenes from last saturday and what we have seen is violent

scenes in a similar vein on friday in belgium. we saw small crowds 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 that 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 is a uncontrollable rise in the cost of living they also which on seeing that the both the french and the belgian government must step down. rocks were thrown at the place in that incident the police responded with tear gas and with with baton charges we understand that dozens were detained during that demonstration in belgium and really we are expecting more of the same here a high risk for saturday we are expecting though

a much larger police presence that we saw today and now below. to try and stop a repeat of the violent scenes. repeating themselves there in the bridge capital europe correspondent peter all of that we heard from brussels based journalist who were very he told us these prices really are hitting people hard. this demonstration and it is 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 the french and in a sense but with the same ideas that taxation has come to. papal level people very peaceful everywhere with a 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 who needs her a car to go to work and earns one thousand one hundred maybe met her and has to pay three hundred three hundred fifty four for petrol or gas american they can't do it anymore they're dying simply and it's the silent majority that pays its taxes normally. income surratt has been accused of forcing edward snowden's former lawyer to flee the city last year spoken exclusively about the pressures he claims he faced and the victimization of the people he says who helped shelter snowden back in twenty thirty in late december two thousand and sixteen when i was in germany speaking at a conference the i received a phone call 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 the first question the 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 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 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. former cia employee snowden leaked the vos trove of classified national security agency data on u.s. government spying operations you may recall in imported history here he fled to hong kong briefly were asylum seekers helped shelter him from the authorities for about two weeks then he left hong kong through official channels and then in turn russia granted snowden asylum if he's been here ever since in russia but the reality it seems now it turns out as it's being revealed is much more cruel for

those who helped shelter the whistleblower back in on kong is robert tipple again just a 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 use of proving that there are extraordinary individuals and this doesn't fit in with the narrative of the hong kong government. the government has betrayed the sort of secrecy is being undesirable criminals except for. trying to come into hong kong and take away jobs and. financial prosperity of our culture 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 they can't go back to their home countries now is this p.c. gone wrong all reason to be concerned well you can make your mind about i'm sure fans of the fantasy classic lord of the rings' know that the beast like dogs are a force to be reckoned with if you've read it seen it but one author now believes

the way they depicted in the books is racist and that dire consequences for society will ensue for all of us because of it. the flight back on board. it's hard not. to know shannon told. creatures that were sort of worries that the earth was sort of my audience. and not a great deal of choice in the matter what.

are we not allowed to root against treacherous fictional cannibals anymore welcome to twenty one time. clearly the races of men elves and should have welcomed the immigrants in zero six and allowed them to feast on the mound freshly designed how terribly racist often it is just a good triumphs over evil story not meant to be that deep. claims that president trumps former campaign chairman several times with wiki leaks founder julian assange taken a new twist we can tell you to tonight

a former cia officer is now questioning the story saying that it might. indeed have been planted by russia or all along trying to flirt with 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 fronts presidential campaign and wiki leaks founder julian assange and that's really it's caused quite a stir in the us media story is shaking washington that is a bombshell of foreigners are held a secret meeting around the same time that manna for join 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 articles 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 to 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 bolstered the skepticism by quoting tweets from other gone and glenn greenwald wiki leaks 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 man of four 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 minor false 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 see them 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 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 an x. 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. the growing number of shootings at schools universities in the u.s. has got administrator is now scrambling for ways to try to protect everyone on campus and one university of michigan as is started to teach stuff and students to fight the tension 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 that our founding fathers that i put an age limit on the second amendment. well you have you thought check out all stories twenty four seven of course naughty dog call will keep track of the latest of the g. twenty and away in south america in the coming. i was and the rest was to find other for me kevin knowing of a great tip to set the first as it is here now in moscow.

next kaiser sign it looks like. the bell on. climate change is it this is a central plank support diet plan is kind of common right now so stop the. you know world of big part of the lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream 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 we're watching closely watching the

hawks. in. the wings of the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. just as they would a simple so they want to become the entry level of the last to become just about but many of them look for refuge in the so closely. tree sides of the draft used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities. person as bank. listen to morrow and then head up next time i get on a lot of class and i want to. watch as they all choose to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house. the who can beat up to the. struggles of many couples. the push including those. of you up of up to the bulk of the.

hello and welcome to cross talk we're all things considered i'm peter lavelle the fate of julian assange is on clear washington is determined that he be sent to the u.s. to face criminal charges most likely under the one nine hundred seventy espionage act the british government is more than happy to make this happen even the ecuadorians are in on the out what we are watching unfold in front of our eyes is the criminalization of journalism.
