you know what obama will. be no. political tensions gripping the g twenty. the great nonetheless of the leaders in a positive start even though donald trump of course council that much anticipated face to face with the russian leader also.

the heart of the streets in belgium capital as the so-called yellow vests move spreads to brussels in a solidarity protest now following similar scenes in. this racism in middle earth an author claims the beast like all. of the rings may be victims of. discrimination. mixed bag and used to come welcome. to one of the morning here in moscow that means it's seven in the evening in argentina is comparable. leaders of the world's most industrialized economies are getting together for the big g. twenty.

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. well thursday the u.s. dollar hold the breaking news by tweeting right on the plane i won't meet with. over ukraine the u.s. administration work clearly trying to send a strong message to russia as they put it the aggression that we've witnessed this week on acceptable and strong messages from some place. that was a strong message been sent just through the 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 join the family photos. he told off the translator as he was being welcomed by the argentinean leader and he's just frowning all the time here in. the russian side have said that they actually regret

that they cannot have direct contact with the u.s. peter however they're not making a big deal out of it and vladimir putin the house plenty of other. part of the small. countries whose favorite. competing practices increasingly replace the international dialogue based on honesty inequality this vicious practice of using lawless unilateral sanctions is expanding as well as protectionist measures violating the un charter. there are quite a few so-called. more important. they

brought up. in the. speaking of the french happened to be one of those. guests. before they went to argentina.

more from g twenty tomorrow as well of course as things go in there ok now meantime there's been an escalation in the latest showdown between moscow and kiev the ukrainian government has announced that russian males aged sixteen to sixty will be banned from entering the country our senior correspondent laura gadgety of reports next not from crimea what we've seen similar bans put in place over the last several years repeatedly russian men entry into ukraine but this is the first time that they've officially confirmed that russian men age sixteen to sixty i no longer welcome a 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 on these inside ukraine we must remember of course that president poroshenko over the last four years has full cost repeated russian invasions and to ukraine which have . to materialize but the russian the russians have also reacted that the russian

foreign ministry they've said that this is merely a political ploy a political play in order to shore up mr parr shank ratings just four months to go until. actions and martial law being put in place is an attempt by him to radicalize the solidify the voter base and to guarantee himself more votes russia meanwhile the 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 collected 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 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 adds a good president. named the brought the old smile among them. 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 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. many many ukrainians who share similar opinions into one thess two when. in europe the yellow vests protests against soaring fuel prices have spread now from france to belgium drivers took to the streets of brussels in solidarity with the french movement our correspondent for europe peter oliver has the latest from paris where the government has just held a meeting with activists in a bid to try to quell the unrest and stop spreading 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 the experimental bar on the vineyard 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 already so that 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 meetings wasn't going to be recorded as long as 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 and 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. i . 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 the group in brussels but they were chanting their solidarity with those protesters wanting to see a stop on steel 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 police and not into the police responded with tear gas and with with baton charges 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 last saturday and they'll be looking to try and quell stop a repeat of the violent scenes of repeating themselves they have in the french capital when we come back after this break allegations that being discriminated against and also comedians been getting some unwelcome attention on social media after all the cowboys and indians party for his one year old little son reason to get worked up about or not will be debating that story in just a few minutes ahead. in

fact a recent poll of gallup poll shows fifty seven percent of americans want a more cooperative relationship with russia so there is a disconnect that is smart politician democrat would understand needs to be seen because there's not a lot of hunger appetite for this kind of any russian politics is being stand by a media political establishment. going.

on fourteen and a half on the button here in moscow right now this early december the first morning now claims that president trump former campaign chairman met several times with wiki leaks founder julian assange to take the new twist a former cia officer is questioning the story saying might have been planted by russia warm up from a whole kids. 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 frumps presidential campaign and wiki leaks founder julian assange and that's really caused quite a stir in the us media story is shaking washington that is bombs on man of foreigners are 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 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 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 john lists that article was written by next year you agents under a pen name to prove a point the former officer draws our attention to those who dare question this bombshell russians disinflation that work 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 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 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 or as 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 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 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 stories almost the power of the next cia agent using a pen name says that if the guardian piece on a song and metaphor is false the russians must be behind it anyway you really can't make this up a. growing number of shootings at schools universities in the us has got administrator is no scrambling for ways to try to protect everyone on campus should such a thing like that happen again one university of michigan this is sort of the start 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 in. 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 rifle by throwing. kerry pencil case that our founding fathers and i put an age limit on the second amendment. ukraine security services have raided the residence of the russian backed father superior for kiev his biggest and oldest monastery the raid was carried out over accusations of causing into religious friction now this comes after the ukrainian orthodox church was granted independence from the russian church by the patrick of constantinople however the plans being criticized by religious heads in ukraine for not specifying and this is the crucial bit a date for the rule changes to come into effect. state politicians of the highest level who constantly promise cuts and other safley simply deceive us there is

a full understanding of the fact that constant novel 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. a chairman for the russian orthodox church has also reacted saying it's the third time constantinople is talked about granting autonomous powers for national churches but there's still no conclusion in starlight he also stressed the separation is something orthodox believe it don't actually want anyway you know constantinople overturned a centuries old acts of union to sever ties between kiev the moscow then both the russian and ukrainian churches responded in turn to cut away from constantinople it's complicated he got the thoughts of a professor of church history and what's really happening in ukraine in goldman is really in a way trying to force canonical bishops uncanonical church to participation in this quote unquote council of unification so offered of this procedure for series of

structures or was to threaten with confiscation of churches or monasteries and they started to pull discipline into life with which arabs or witches one of the most respected monasteries in the ukraine we could go to break their agreement. will not be able to use of premises anymore or 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 all of. this. raids had caused her. apartment the residence of mature paulton paul who is the abbot of lover of the caves and q. is circumstance of this strategy of intimidation and violence.

or about where the mouth is if you listen just before the break i'll a tease what was coming up looks like we can bring you the latest on the fall over what happened to their one year old's birthday party about cowboys. indians' river was dressed up it will be coming throughout the night i can tell you but meantime fans of the fantasy classic lord of the rings' know that the beast orcs are a force to be reckoned with one side of the author believes and they're being depicted in the way they are being depicted is racist and that has dire consequences for society therefore. that's right beat back on that.

it's hard not. to know surely and. a lot. more sort of why is that. 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 and divorce 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. well it's why some of the world looks so reported from international moscow this very very early saturday morning of december now as it is coming up to twenty five minutes past one of the morning and i'm kevin zero in for me a great weekend of thanks for watching us. steve the people who run the economy price money the commodity that runs economy they say are the signs i mean they're just making it up as they go along i mean there's no. they are guided by. artists.

they consider themselves completely subjective in their view of the world that they can simply lower rates based on a when there's nothing guiding them in economic reality there's no school of economics there's no science behind it it's. this finding this out the need. arise how do. you know. we're. going to. write down the bank. base walker. and this is going to.

treat their international market knowing that these industries polluting. ignored one. of the things we lost even this. join me every. time i'm sure and i'll be speaking to. this i'm sure i'll see you. is donald trump now willing to compromise in his economic war with china and shimmy expert opinion on this edition of.

the politicking on larry king according to several ports recent gyrations in the stock market a rise in the interest rates and general motors plan to close several of the american manufacturing plants and lay off thousands of workers have president trump rattled about the impact of these will have on the economy from present parent leaks was the willingness to compromise was china when he meets privately with that country's president later this week following the g twenty summit in argentina what happens if a compromise is reached and what impact will that have on the u.s. economy if the two leaders walk away without some sort of new agreement on trade let's talk about that with neil gross. he's commentator he's the managing partner of t.k. n.-g. global investment funds joins us from new york ok neal what do you expect to happen

with the president of china and the president of the united states. first of hi larry how are you. i would i would not expect an awful lot in terms of an agreement at this meeting the question i think is going to be whether they come away expressing a willingness to conduct negotiations to try and reach a compromise over the next number of months and if that sort of understanding is reached whether or the president will be willing to delay or or moderate some of his threats to impose more say more more tariffs or higher tariffs on what is already existing is saying a negotiation to negotiate i think that's pretty much the best you're going to expect i don't think the president and i would states and the president of china are going to sit and get into detail negotiations at this go around they may they may. agree to

a nice framework and you know target that some of the issues that the trump administration feels are essential but i don't think anything's going to come away with any sort of solid agreement at this time from comes out of a lot of the meetings with what he says are agreements and everything's great and then nothing happens you know that seems to be if a fairly standard process. you know again i think there is an element of making this look positive i think that the president is very focused on the stock market and i think you understands that. a real negative outcome would probably be detrimental to the market at this time i should the president be concerned about a bird strike did trade war with china. should be concerned i mean it depends laurie i mean i think the president on it states is.
