three ships it says violated its territorial waters also ahead. paris is recovering after the worst riots in a decade sparked by more protests against higher taxes the demonstrations in france are now into their third. day in moscow this december the second it's sunday so we're wrapping up the biggest stories covered here during the past seven days first overnight developments the g. twenty summits concluded in argentina with leaders tackling a raft of crucial problems including the u.s. china trade war the ukraine crisis and strengthening cooperation.

the u.s. president had a keenly walks to meeting with his chinese counterpart to the summit but neither got a news conference afterwards the russian president did talk to reporters though to share his thoughts on the gathering in buenos aires from way into trying to report . one of the top reasons why this g twenty summit was meant to be a real attention grabber is the one on one between the man whose limo is parked right there it's about to depart the russian president vladimir putin and his american counterpart donald trump but just one day before the summit kicked off donald trump sent all of us into breaking news mode by tweeting out right from on board air force one i won't meet with putin because of ukraine and we were all left guessing whether they'll at least shake hands or have some sort of little chat then

finally on saturday the russian president's spokesperson confirmed that a little chat happened somewhere on the sidelines of the g. twenty event everyone was hoping to ask president trump about it at his press event however he canceled that too he says it was because of the sudden passing of acts president george h.w. bush eventually. found the time to talk to the journalists and the first question was obviously about him and. first of all it was a u.s. initiative but then we cancel that meeting in paris because we didn't want to interfere in the shuttle for one commemorations so we decided to meet and going to series but then the provocation in the black sea took place so the u.s. decided not to have the meeting still have the chance to chat. president trump on this issue we expressed our positions and remain committed to them i let's know

what we think of the incident it's a shame that we are unable to have this meeting but i hope it will take place sooner or later when the us is ready for it a lot of our putin has just got inside his limo. he began his second day at the g twenty summit right inside this hotel he invited anglo-american for breakfast and treated her with a traditional russian meal that featured caviar and tank. now that the president's not here anymore we were actually able to get inside the lobby of the hotel i was told that the average price for where he was staying is

four thousand iu was dollars a day now going back to his talks with angle of merkel and emanuel macron the president's spokesperson told us that he physically picked up a piece of paper and a pen to just draw a map for them of what happened between russia and ukraine in the current strait and he also brought forward evidence of what he called ukraine's intentions to provoke russia there that included some notes in the cranium vessel's log book mr putin also said that the reaction from the western leaders that he got to that was rather calm and then went on to talk about the state of martial law that was imposed by the ukrainian leader petro poroshenko in parts of you. crane as a result of this is collation. i am concerned about some other things nobody

imposed martial law in ukraine when there were big events going on and then before the elections they go ahead and do it why they could sell civil liberties and district political activity what is worse is the introduced martial law in just ten provinces where the current president does not have much support city ukrainian government is dividing the country of a cancelled trump potentates aetate was not the only anticipated meeting in one of the areas there's been an important breakthrough between the u.s. and chinese leaders over the two countries trade route they agreed to a temporary freeze on tariff increases leaving them at ten percent instead of raising them to twenty five percent as was expected but the freeze expires after ninety days if both parties are unable to reach a further agreement. although it was mostly serious business at the summit there were a couple of lighter moments and even a few hiccups along the way. everything

was scheduled down to the last minute but when we got direction now we understood president micron was already getting into he's car. that.

we've been sounding out experts throughout the week on the g twenty former republican congressman michael patrick flanagan gave us his few on how it reflected the current relationship between the russian and u.s. leaders sure that they have discussions regularly as their various. individual i should say foreign ministries and in the 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 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 taking taking on the issues of the day i don't i

don't really see his isolation happening so that was the plan it failed these summits are not designed to come to conclusions at least as far as i understand what they're designed to give the world leaders a chance to air confusion of misconception with each other and to make their points decisions are made by bureaucracies and larger organizations later after we're. on to some other weeks other headline news then last sunday russian border patrol seized three ukrainian ships near the crimean peninsula moscow accuses the ships of violating its territorial waters the incident brought russia and ukraine close to a full blown conflict and stood 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. three ukrainian patrol boats say the russians were approaching russian territorial waters which they entered they were asked what they intended to do they said that they had no intention of crossing the street of. but they continued making their way forward 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 is there to make sure that the passage of the strait of kutch which is very narrow and there's a lot of traffic to make it safe the federal security service is also in possession of information that says the provocative actions of the ukrainian fleet were ordered by the government in kiev the territorial waters in which some of this showdown this case took place and were russian woods is even before the reunion of crimea and russia 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. found tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition dozens and dozens of weapons from brigade lodges to machine guns the ukrainian side for its part claims that it did fall

a notification of its intent to cross the passes the streets of. into the as of see that the russians acted brazenly aggressively that this was an act of war the russians we must 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 establishing martial law with the sky for months to go until elections russian men age sixteen to sixty no longer welcome and no longer allowed entry into ukraine russian foreign ministry they said that this is merely a political ploy a political play in order to shore up mr poroshenko ratings martial law being put in place is an attempt by him to radicalize the solidify the voter base of the sailors on board were taken into custody and charged with illegally crossing the russian border and could face up to six years in prison most of them released

a video in which the ukrainian commander in detention in russia saying that he ignored orders to stop so i'm going to melissa moore command of the navy division of the grain and military forces were entered 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 provoker to i was following my orders to move our ships from the port or for this to mario. western countries were quick to express serious concern over what happened both russia and ukraine called for an emergency session of the un security council russia's representatives seem to make little headway though with the others around the table here's how it unfolded. what we witnessed this weekend is yet another reckless russian escalation it follows on from russia's

illegal annexation of crimea in two thousand and fourteen 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 means meant you're not an additional i hope that you read the miscue greenman to know perfectly there's not a single word about crimea russia wants to conics the sea. at least and now it's surprisingly turns out that we occupy the azoff sea 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 cult braun's for ukraine to carry out further provocation the russian deputy u.n. envoy who you just saw there told us he believes the west's response will only encourage more reckless action by ukraine. i

discovered that they were not very eager to discuss these concrete situationally immediately changed to all the alleged an extension of crimea by my country which were of course for us through the night and i specifically mentioned that crimea was not topical security council agenda. i fear that after the western countries that have particularly influence on the ukraine are really displayed session or attitude to the ukrainian side might feel a little bit and bold and to engage in further pro occasions of this type because they haven't heard they didn't hear during the meeting any approach from from western side that they did something wrong. here with our team coming out chaos in paris this weekend as fuel tax protest strike again more than a hundred people have been injured more than four hundred arrested an update on that to come after the break.

donald trump buying doubts of a meeting with vladimir putin doesn't seem like a big deal given the already poor state of affairs between the two countries to the manner in which it was cancelled over twitter may sting the kremlin more than the cancellation itself is the mythical trump putin bromance finally over. who should start again to do so because we're reaping. chancellor merkel runs who serve we have built up a lot of choose between germany and europe and russia and. to destroy a bridge to see is quite easy and very forced. to live through

a whole lot of. central paris was brought to a standstill on saturday by the so-called yellow best movement against soaring fuel prices it was the most violent of three successive weekends of unrest and riot police where i was enforce that in the past twenty minutes the four hundred twelve people were arrested and one hundred thirty three were injured including our correspondent peter all over 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 they want to say they're unhappy with the current government headed up by a manual my call actually is remove into this missing riots is riot police tear gas everything you can possibly imagine. and if. 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 legally clichy as off the hospital i was hit me on kill with will myself thankfully my boot bearing most of the brunt of that those demonstrators that i spoke to they say they aren't going anywhere 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 til the end of the month suspect as we already work in the minimal tariffs for social insurance and i don't understand what will the next glide to be sure we can do the best we can to provide good conditions for patience we are being taxed from all sides we work we study we raise our children now we are overtaxed. so sam moving the problem aside we're seeing more room or problem spark up around here is a fire here and set up is a blockade across the street of one of the streets off 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 nucular as there isn't just one group that the police are trying to contain the truth. was. a good. 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 weren'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 you'd be surprised how many were willing to say off camera that they

were actually in support 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 the walls demonstrators also from demonstrators towards police. 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 to an off takes a look at how if it ever makes it to air t.v. might measure up against the established networks. it's been a long brutal and tiresome fight fake fake disgusting. how fake i am not going to give you a question you are fake news the level of dishonesty is out of control the two go met 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 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 absolutely 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 sentence in my remarks i said the word word instead of what. the sentence should have been i don't see any reason why i wouldn't or why it. rush well you know what this is hardly an update though obviously 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 o.c. 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 canon 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. . that's the way to be for now your next update from the moscow news teams in about half an hour or so off we've paid a visit to a summer camp like no other because all activities that have to take place after nightfall. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see if. i make this manufacture consent to stick to the public will. when the ruling

classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go round listen to the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. the real news is. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we more executing innocent people is terrifying there's just no way that hasn't been that we hear even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victim's families what that's going to give them peace

that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. oh. you. know so for a reason this is so. not to sure with me says but to discover our strengths. where you were because through all of them no more as i had which that's why i got a black ribbon said to. the symbolizes no matter the stroke i go through these

have the strength to push through you no matter what i look. i'm going to have. power and the positivity to just. go about my day everybody. so i just got out of the mindset that. you have a negative like if you have a new markets that. you think you're doing bothers you are you going to be pressed . on. what we. our daughter katie was first diagnosed with a very very sensitive condition. back in one thousand nine hundred four and

we realized that we didn't want her to spend the rest of her life alone and we knew there had to be other families out there that were going through the same experience we were and somehow families were managing to make it so we needed to know who we could talk to what kind of resources what the scientists were working on we wanted a cure we wanted to find other families to figure everything out how to live our lives and we said ok we're going to do a camp it'll be a different campus these kids can only go out and play at night but it'll be a camp to bring the families together and learn about how to live. there was. your mom said you have lots of pictures you have pictures i their. graduation. pics he is. just zero.

zero draw my scheme. the way x p. works is that there's eight different subtypes of x.p. there's x p a x p b x p c all the way to x p g there's also an x p variant each one of those cases like katie's next p.c. means what type of enzyme is missing from their d.n.a. she's missing the x p c and sign from her d.n.a. it also indicates what level her body repairs where i might repair it in ninety eight percent rate if i get sunburned i heal quickly she repairs at a two percent rate she doesn't feel it becomes permanent damage and with x.p. kids that damage. becomes a dead dead skin matter dead cells matter of that and turns to cancers unfortunately sometimes these cancers can spread to kill the patient.
