join me every thursday. i'm sure. i'll see you then. in the week's top stories from the g twenty wraps up in argentina for the potential of the bruising trade war between the u.s. and china plus we'll look at the much anticipated conversation between. the sidelights. russian border patrol. said they violated its territorial waters ahead.

recovering after seeing violent. protests against higher taxes. demonstrations in france and now into the third week. in moscow the second of december is a sunday that means we're bringing you the biggest stories as covered right here over the past seven days overnight developments to update you on first though and the annual g. twenty summit concluded in argentina with leaders of the world's leading economies tackling a raft of crucial problems including the u.s. china trade war the ukraine crisis and strengthening international cooperation the u.s. president had a key meeting with his chinese counterpart but need to give

a news conference afterwards the russian president did talk to reporters though to share his thoughts on the gathering and one else aries trying to now report. one of the top reasons if not the top one why this g twenty summit was meant to be a real attention grabber was the planned one on one between the man whose limo is parked right there that is the russian president vladimir putin and his american counterpart donald trump however just one day before the summit began the american president really put all of us in breaking news mode by tweeting out right when he was on the plane to argentina i won't meet with putin over ukraine the journalists were left guessing whether at least they'll shake hands or maybe have a little chat on the sidelines and finally on saturday lattimer putin spokesperson confirmed that this quick chat happened and everyone was hoping to ask president

trump about it at his press event however the american leader canceled that one as well he said it was because the sudden passing of ex-president george h.w. bush but then finally vladimir putin found the time to talk to the press and obviously the first question that was asked was about his relations with mr trump and that quick conversation that actually happens lattimer putin began by saying that he doesn't think mr trump is afraid of contacts with them and here's what else he said . the support for the festival it was a u.s. initiative because then we council meeting in paris because we didn't want to interfere in the one commemorations so we decided to meet and going to serious but then the provocation in the black sea took place so the us decided not to have to meet soon we still have the chance to chat with president trump on this issue we

expressed some positions and remain committed to the islets no we think of the incident is a shame that we are unable to have this meeting is. but i hope it will take place sooner or later when the u.s. is ready for it like this quick exchange between mr trump and mr putin we know that there were full proper meetings between the german chancellor and the russian president and also the day before mr putin met the french president emmanuel macron and the number one focus of these talks was also the current strong straight incident we heard from sources that the russian delegation that mr putin grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and physically draw them out of what was going on on the ground to explain russia's take on this and at the press conference there were also questions about this of course for mr putin mr putin said that the reaction of western leaders to

russian position was very calm and he said that he tried to convene in detail a full timeline of events that happened there and besides this he brought forward some evidence which included some notes from the ukrainian vessels logbooks so this was also something that a lot of our putin brought with him to argentina the russian president continued by talking about the state of martial law that was imposed by the ukrainian president petro poroshenko has a result of this incident and the kurds straight in parts of ukraine here's what he said. i am concerned about some of the things nobody impose martial law in ukraine when there were big events going on and then before the elections they go ahead and do it why to cattell civil liberties in this connectivity what is worse is the introduced martial law in just ten provinces where the current president does not have much support city craning government is dividing the

country at this media event we weren't supposed to hear any questions in other languages however at one point. a journalist from the u.k. took the microphone and asked something in english vladimir putin chose not to wait for the translation he said it's absolutely fine the question was about the recent statements by senior official in the u.k. military he said that right now russia poses a greater threat to his country than that of state to this russian president replied that he believes at this point moscow is the number one opponent of terrorists on this planet mr putin said that by doing this british officials are only trying to put up a show back home and are aiming to score political points. will be canceled from. the only anticipated meeting in buenos aires this been an important breakthrough between the u.s. and chinese leaders over the two countries trade routes american and chinese

delegations agreed to a temporary freeze on tariff increases leaving them at a ten percent instead of raising them to twenty five percent as expected but that freeze expires off the ninety days if both parties unable to reach agreement. besides the serious business of the summit some four moments made the headlines two . everything was scheduled down to the last minute but when we got direction now we understand president micron was already getting into he's car.

f. o b getting reaction to the g. twenty throughout the week including former republican congressman michael patrick flanagan who give us his view on the relationship between presidents trump and putin right now mr putin doesn't seem to be isolated at the summit at all but he seems to be doing a good job on behalf of russia and taking taking on the issues of the day i don't i

don't really see his isolation happening so if that was the plan it failed but these summits are not designed to come to conclusions at least as far as i understand them they are designed to give the world leaders a chance to air confusion and misconception with each other and to make their points decisions are made by pure accuracies and larger organizations later. afterward i'm sure that they have discussions regularly as their various. individual i should say foreign ministries and state department permit them ask them and encourage them to do it and i think mr putin's being very straightforward about what was happening in in the black sea and with ukraine and his view of it whether we agree with it or not is helpful to the discussion and i think mr trump was was happy for that i can imagine he would have been whenever these gentlemen get a chance to talk frankly it's a good thing and. i'll

just a few days before the g twenty leaders got together russian border patrol sees three ukrainian ships near the crimean peninsula moscow accuses the ships of violating its territorial waters the incident brought russia and ukraine close to full blown conflict instead international concern. contrary to the un convention on russian border ships carried out a frankly aggressive action against the vessels of the navy of the ukraine.

the sailors on board are charged with illegally crossing the russian border and could face up to six years in prison ukraine acknowledged that it ships had agents from its intelligence service on board as well russia's claim that they were on a mission to start a provocation in the current strait moscow later released a video in which the ukrainian commander in detention in russia is seen saying that he ignored orders to stop so we were i'm going to melissa boy command of the navy division of the grain and military forces were answered the code straight after crossing the russian border we had visual contact with the russian border service vessels i consciously ignored their commands to stop on our boat we had small arms and a machine gun with ammunition i was aware that the action of the ukrainian vessels in because straits were provoked at it i was following orders to move our ships from the port or for this to mario pool or in response to the incident ukrainian

president petro poroshenko implemented martial law in the country's border regions it includes a ban on russian males aged sixteen to sixty from entering the country or shank has been accused of playing up the russian threat prior to the presidential election in march when i get to have reports from crimea. three ukrainian patrol boats say the russians were approaching russian territorial waters which they ended they were asked what they intended to do they said that they had no intention of crossing the street of. but the continued making their way forward a certain point refusing all communications from russian border patrol vessels then ounce their intent to cross the strait of kutch without the russians say filing notification notification that it's there to make sure that the passage of the strait of courage which is very narrow and there's a lot of traffic to make it safe what ensued was a dangerous high speed chase in the streets of vassal after which the ukrainian

vessels were fired upon eventually seized in the cruise twenty four people in old sailors offices and s.b.u. counter-espionage agents detained the russian side also claims to have found documents that ordered these vessels to proceed with maximum stealth they found tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition dozens and dozens of weapons from brigade launches to machine guns the ukrainian side for its part claims that he'd fallen notification of its intent to cross the passage of the streets of courage into the eyes of see that the russians acted brazenly aggressively that this was an act of war the russians say that this was a provocative act that the ukrainians ordered by the top by the very top the government itself to carry out this provocative act and to give them justification

for. martial law with the sky for months to go until election western countries are quick to express serious concern over what happened both russia and ukraine and called for an emergency session of the u.n. security council russian representatives seem to make little headway with the others around the table is how it unfolded. what we witnessed this weekend is yet another reckless russian escalation it follows on from russia's illegal acts of crimea in two thousand and fourteen grains because the ukrainian side violated our border in a place which even before twenty fourteen was russian territory. russia must respect the full implementation of the minsk brim and if you're not an additional i hope that you read in the midst greenman to know perfectly there's not a single word about crimea russia wants to conics the sea. and now it's surprisingly turns out that we occupy the as of c. is wealthy this is something new and if you me for i'd like to assure you create an

affair with solidarity united states will continue to stand with the people of ukraine against the russian aggression. so this could be perceived as culpable for ukraine to carry out further provocation. on the russian deputy un envoy told us he believes the west response will only encourage more reckless action by ukraine. we tried to concentrate on these concrete provocation would try to ask everybody why exactly the ukrainian ships are that previously interacted with our own border guards and which best leader the coach treat without any problems the ship or the ships will know all the rules all the procedures suddenly decide it or to avoid them and to engage in these in this provocation so that's why we tried to ask these questions or to our fellow members and to get an answer from them and actually. i

discovered that they were not very eager to discuss these countries situationally immediately changed to the alleged turn in accession of crimea by my country which we of course are fires that are night and i specifically mentioned that crimea was not topical security council agenda. i fear that after the western countries that have particular influence on ukraine are really displayed session at its you to the ukrainian side might feel a little bit and bold and to engage in further provocations of these type of because they haven't heard they didn't hear during the meeting any approaches from from western side that they did something wrong or were it seems to me that the issues are slightly clearer it is directly linked to the prospect of elections in ukraine it is they're actually linked to loot falling ratings of president poroshenko so it was very strange that the security council colleagues actually

award it calling calling these things by their real value. central paris was brought to a standstill on saturday by the so-called yellow vest movement that's against the soaring fuel prices it's been the most violent of the three successive weekends of unrest and right police were again out in force more than one hundred people were in. it including our correspondent peter all of a who was hit by a rubber bullet here's what he witnessed throughout the day. these demonstrators have been very clear in what they've wanted to say they want to say that fuel prices are getting too high and they want to say they're unhappy with the current government headed up by a minute call actually is remove into this we're seeing riots is riot police tear gas everything you can possibly imagine as they try and take away that one person

who fell to the floor. oh. you have a central new killer of police in full riot gear fully equipped we're actually seeing tear gas trying over our heads right now i'm going to be moving out of the way as i'm talking to you that's really not safe for me to be stood there doing that it's also not to just explain what was happening the place that you can see located just over there which was exactly one hundred eighty degrees from where i was facing they just fired several rounds dangerously close over my head right then that's something i've certainly never seen by any riot suppression force used

in europe. they have been numerous incidents of people being hit with rubber bullets our colleague legally shares off the hospital i was hit me on kill with will myself thankfully my boot bearing most of the brunt of that put those demonstrate is that i spoke to they say they aren't going anywhere but i'm all for humanity should be put first not money it's not impossible you know you come to these protests because you don't have enough money to survive till the end of the month something to say we already work in the minimal tariffs for social insurance and i don't understand what will the next i'd like to be sure we can do the best we can to provide good conditions for patients i don't know for sure who's to blame for escalating the situation with the least of the yellow this is the way on the side of protesters as long as the peaceful we are being taxed from all sides we work we study we raise our children now we are overtaxed so stop moving the problem aside we're seeing

more room or problems fall couple around here is a fiat. harrod set up is a blockade across the street of one of the streets of a new five and this isn't the certainly isn't going anywhere anytime soon and one of the big issues that i am seeing from this whole situation in paris is that it's not just one new killis there isn't just one group that the police all trying to contain the truth. was. that a. number of people incredibly upset particularly with the french media they thought we were from one of the french broadcasters they were insisting that we stop broadcasting once we told them that we wouldn't well now we've been allowed to

again speaking to a large amount of the police that have been taking part in this operation in ferris on saturday if you surprised how many were willing to say off camera that they were actually supports of those that were demonstrating against lower fuel costs however that certainly wasn't represented in some of the the violent scenes that we've seen from say violence from place towards demonstrators also from demonstrators towards police. spoke with the head of a french police union who says there's broad sympathy for the protest movement among law enforcement personnel. but i'm afraid in fact most of my colleagues support the yellow vest movement as we are affected a lot by the fuel price rise too but we can't live there where we work either because it costs too much because we have to arrest our neighbors our colleagues on the ground have to follow the orders of those who are not on the ground are the french president speaking to the media at the g twenty promised that all those responsible for the violence will be identified and held to account so to see

pursues will be a perry what happened in paris today has nothing to do with peaceful demonstrations of legitimate discontent that doesn't justify public buildings been set on fire journalists being threatened the organizers of this violence don't want any change they want chaos they have betrayed because they pretend to serve they will be identified they will be held responsible for their actions and they will be taken to court i will always respect those who disagree and i will always listen to any dissent but i will never accept violence and i'm pretty sure that mccoy is going to lose the european elections which is coming in next next year and in fact is as the as already lost them you know it tries in fact to hear as somebody who is promises and you know there was a change of policy of policy and i think this is very dangerous of course no

elected man nor mayor being you know. admit. by lawrence in paris specially under shows it is this is absolutely unbearable but it only shows that he. resents you know that you. did grow this deep concern of the french nation and i think that the best way to stop this because this will carry on is that the government chose. but is. donald trump patience has long worn thin with america's main news providers so this week he floated the idea of setting up his own state run alternative he goes on of takes a look at how if it ever makes it to add some t.v. might measure up against the established networks it's been a long brutal and tiresome fight fake fake discussing. how fake i am not going to give you

a question you are fake fake news comes out very fake to the level of dishonesty is out of control the two go mad and clashed and found themselves in a stalemate now trump appears to be opting for a new approach if you can't beat them join them throughout the world c.n.n. has a powerful voice portraying the united states in an unfair and false way something has to be done including the possibility of the united states starting our own worldwide network to show the world the way we really are great. and i wonder what it will look like. hello and thank you for joining c.n.n. i'm your host for today anderson blooper and our top story a huge announcement from the white house nato is obsolete it is many countries

doesn't cover terrorism ok some powerful words from the president that the united states indeed has been the biggest loser in this decrepit organization to quote president bad and well actually now we do have some breaking information just in fact donald trump has just announced that nato is very much relevant again now they do fight terrorism i said it was obsolete it's no longer absolute now just to clarify things this is most definitely not a u. turn on behalf of mr president but rather a direct result of his artwork and we have reports that otherwise is fake news speaking of which c.n.n. is proud to be recognized as the only fake free t.v. network and like these other stations especially the. well on the political front donald trump has revealed that there is no reason to

believe that russia meddled in the twenty sixteen election i have president putin he just said it's not russian i will say this i don't see any reason why it would be getting a confirmation from vladimir putin himself never settling for this anonymous source is rubbish just as we don't as well well. now actually we do have an update on this story have a listen and a key said in my remarks i said the word word instead of word. the sentence should have been i don't see any reason why i wouldn't or why it would be rush. you know what this is hardly an update though obviously you would instead of wouldn't i mean yeah the complete opposite of each other but that's just being unpredictable the great thing about our president and now finally that we have that sorted out to domestic affairs and our contributing show cooking with friends the

type of deterrent being used is close to the pepper spray it's literally water tap or with a small amount of alcohol for evaporation purposes it's natural you could actually put it on your nachos and eat it well nachos with tear gas topping is actually the only way we have nachos here at c.n.n. so some spicy peppery nachos with a water cannon shower to wash away the tears delicious try it if you haven't so that was it our morning kids show this is c.n.n. . a new milestone in space exploration was reached on monday where nasa is insight mars lander touched down safely on the red planet but while some experts see the mission as having a potential for groundbreaking discovery others in the space agency are worrying about different matters.

what's not quite in my face and it's still too much ok to use these narratives because it always is the history of quantum isolation from an. exploration of the red planet exploration exploring the moon and mars proving that it was. i got to make water and grow food on a planet where nothing grows i am the greatest botanist on this planet. in your face and. to

use that word means you're already starting on the wrong foot language is all folks in french. completely mad i don't know i don't use it a martian remark martin i'm going to come far from home my. telly be trusted to be in balance with moist if luke used to be in balance with. i think we need to clean up our mask before we start making new maps somewhere else. that's the way for this out thanks for checking in with us this sunday i'm calling brian moscow back with more and just about half an hour.

we should start a game to discuss where we can put chancellor merkel runs has said we have built up a lot of religious between germany and europe and russia. to destroy a bridge this is quite easy and very fast. but to rebuild would take a whole lot of.
