mother. and the mother of the last game of this. day's news on the week's top stories from the g. twenty wraps up in argentina with a potential freeze of the bruising trade war between the united states and china plus we'll look at the much anticipated conversation between presidents trump and putin on the sidelines of. global concern as russia and ukraine are brought to the brink of open conflict to russia sees three ships that says violated its territorial waters also add.

paris is recovering after the worst riots in more than a decade sparked protests against higher fuel taxes yellow vest demonstrations in france and now we're into the third week. off a name from one pm this december the second it's sunday so we're wrapping up the biggest stories covered here over the past seven days first to overnight developments though the g twenty summits concluded in argentina with leaders tackling a raft of crucial issues including the u.s. china trade war ukraine and strengthening cooperation.

the u.s. president had a keenly watched meeting with his chinese counterpart at the summit but neither govern news conference afterwards the russian president did talk to reporters though to share his thoughts on the gathering and when also areas from where the 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 who's 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 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. first of all it was a u.s. initiative but then we canceled 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 sirius but then the provocation in the black sea took place the u.s. decided not to have to meet still have the chance to chat with president trump on this issue we expressed our positions and remained committed to the let's know what we think of the incident is a shame that we are unable to have this meeting but i hope it will take place soon or late. when the u.s.

is ready for it vladimir putin has just got inside his limo. he began his second day at the g. twenty summit right inside this hotel invited anglo-american for breakfast and treated her with a traditional washing meal that featured caviar and. 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 ukraine as a result of this is collation. i am concerned about some of the things nobody impose martial law in ukraine when there were big events going on and then before.

elections they go ahead and do it why ticket sales 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 will be cancelled trumpet in tate was not the only anticipated meeting and when also areas there's been an important breakthrough between the united states 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 then unable to reach a further agreement. well that was mostly serious business at the summit there were a couple of like the 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. than.

a former republican congressman michael patrick flanagan talked to us about how the g. twenty in the strait at the current relationship between the russian and us need is . for sure that they have discussions regularly as there are various there are 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't imagine he would have been. whenever these gentlemen get a chance to talk frankly it's a good thing in history 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 in 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 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. home to some of the week's other headline news and last sunday a russian border patrol seized three ukrainian ships and the crimean peninsula moscow accuses the ships of violating its territorial waters the incident broke 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 armed forces of 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 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 and 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. 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 it did fall and 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 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 the partial ratings martial law being put in place is an attempt by him to radicalize the solidify the base. of reporting that while 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 they're released a video in which the ukrainian commander in detention in russia is heard saying

that he would orders to stop. so i'm going to melissa boy commander 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 the coast straits provoke it if 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 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 acts ation 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 agreement you're not an additional i hope that you read the mid-scale greenman to know perfectly there's not a single word about crimea russia wants to conics the sea of us all. and now it's surprisingly turns out that we occupy the azoff sea is well this is something new to me thought 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 culp braun's for ukraine to carry out further provocations while afterwards the russian deputy un envoy told us that he's disappointed with his western counterparts stance. i discovered that they were not very eager to discuss these countries situationally immediately changed to the alleged an extension of crimea by my country which we of

course of our sleep tonight and i specifically mentioned that crimea was not topical security council agenda. i fear that after the western countries that have particular 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 provocations of these type because they haven't heard they didn't hear during the meeting any approaches from from western side that they did something wrong. they say it's r t on the way chaos in paris this weekend as fuel tanks protests and strike again more than a hundred people have been injured and four hundred arrested we'll take you through what happened when we come back.

we should start again with this because we call chancellor merkel we have a lot of religious between germany and europe and russia. to destroy a bridge to see this quite easy and very fast. but take

a whole lot of. them back 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 were out in force just over an hour ago paris police confirm that four hundred twelve people have been arrested one hundred thirty three were injured including our correspondent peter all about 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 we're seeing riots is riot police tear gas everything you can possibly imagine. 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 tonight 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 folse 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 to the end of the month something to say we do work in the minimal terror of a 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 we are being taxed from all sides whose work we study we raise our children now we are overtaxed. moving the problem aside was seeing more room or problem spark up around here is a fire herod set up as 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 nucleus there isn't just one group that the police all 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 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 fires on saturday you be 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. peter all of that well despite having to deal with the worst riots in more than a decade the head of a french police union told us this broad sympathy for the protest movement among law enforcement personnel. but i was. in france most of my colleagues support the yellow vest movement as we are affected a lot by the fuel price rise to that but we can't live there so it will be worthless 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. the french president told reporters at the g twenty that all those responsible for the violence will be identified and held to account. super series will be about really what happened in paris today has nothing to do with peaceful demonstrations of legitimate discontent the organizers of this violence don't want any change they want chaos they will go 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 who is going to lose the europe in the election which is coming in next next year and in fact is as yeah as what was the last you know it tries in fact to hear as somebody who is promises and you know there was a change of policy and i think this is very dangerous it only shows that the last time i'll resign and you know you concern of the french nation. i stumbled trumps patience has long worn thin with america's main news providers so this week you floated the idea of setting up his own state run alternative he goes down of takes a look at how if it ever makes it to where trump t.v. might measure up against the established networks. it's been

a long brutal and tiresome fight fake fake disgusting. house fake i'm 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 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 sources 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 word. the sentence should have been i don't see any reason why i wouldn't or why it would be a 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 pepper 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 night shows 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. . back to the real world that's the way clear for the south thanks for watching you know nails got your next update after we've met the u.s. veterans campaigning to convince the government to stay away from war paying the price for peace is next on three international.

. troops. didn't really get it right but. i started out as

a very conservative republican like every person in my farming community and upstate new york in the fifty's. my father was a member of the john birch society he was very opposed to the new deal labor unions catholics jews and. it was actually not that unusual and my dad for those attitudes to prevail. because i was a good athlete good in school and good in my church and a good voice in my time i was really proud of. in one thousand sixty-six as the u.s. military began ramping up its forces in vietnam brian wilson was drafted. i enlisted in the air force for a four year program to go into the army as.
