the pros as you like them before three of the people. i'm interested always in the water. should. subscribe to roughly. fifty a month. today's news on the week's top stories from our t.v. . in argentina with a temporary freeze in the bruising trade war between the u.s. and china we also look at the much shorter. conversation between presidents from the. global concern. brought to the brink of open conflict from

three ships. also ahead. recovering after the worst riots in a decade sparked by more protests against higher fuel taxes the demonstrations in front. of the stories that shaped the past seven days a little later but first to developments all of the day. the g. twenty summit has concluded in argentina with leaders tackling a raft of crucial issues including the us china trade war ukraine and stern

cooperation. on saturday the us president how they came lee watched that meeting with his chinese counterpart at the summit but neither gave a news conference afterwards unlike those two leaders the russian president did talk to reporters to share his thoughts on the gathering in buenos are easily betraying who is in the arch in time capital. 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 about it at his press event however he canceled that too he says it was because of the sudden passing of x. president george h.w. bush and eventually the lattimer putin found the time to talk to the journalists and the first question was obviously about him and trump. 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 show for one commemorations so we decided to meet and going to

serious 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 let's know we should. it's a shame that we are unable to have this meeting but i hope it will take place sooner or later when the u.s. is ready for use 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 here. biden hagel americal 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 anglo markel 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 ukrainian vessels 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 imposed martial law in ukraine when there were big events going on and then before the election we think go ahead and do it wanted to could tell civil liberties in this collective it's what is worse is the lynch use martial law in just ten provinces where the current president does not have much the pool city ukrainian government is dividing the country i'm sure that they have discussions regularly as there are various. as there are 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 in 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 and 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 although it was mostly serious business at the summit as usual there were a few lighter moments too and on even on occasional pick up along the way.

everything was scheduled down to the last minute but when we got direction now we understood president macron was already getting into these.

well a council meeting between trump and putin wasn't the only one high up on the building in buenos ariz mentioned there was that important breakthrough between the u.s. and chinese leaders on the trade rod they agreed to a temporary freeze on tariff increases leaving them a ten percent instead of raising them to twenty five expected but the phrase expires after ninety days if both parties are unable to reach a further agreement on top of all votes beijing has pledged to buy more u.s. produce china especially this under long dots it will be a lasting solution. it's called the truce but even if it was all agreed in say of the thirty days. between united states and china. to carry on for. much more as they. boast of all china has been exporting much much more

hoops to the united states. something like five hundred billion where was the united states has been expended as feeding exporting to china hundred fifty but the trouble is that lots of things carnival's the bible states including higher tech. technology in reply. to one strategically but that's precisely those products. the so china so straight about imbalances be going on but as i was saying it's more than just. a plenty more has been going on this week last sunday russian border patrol sees three ukrainian ships near the crimean peninsula moscow accuses the ships of violating its territorial waters well not incident brought russia and ukraine close

to full blown conflict and stirred 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. 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 continued making their way forward that 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 an 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 gun the ukrainian side pot claims that he'd fallen notification of its intent to cross the passes the streets of. into the eyes of see that the russians acted brazenly aggressively that this was an act of war the russians meanwhile 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 stablish ing martial law with the sky for months to go until elections russian men age sixteen to sixty 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. ratings being put in place is an attempt by him to radicalize the solidify the base. well the sailors on board were taken into custody and charged with illegally crossing the russian border they could face up to six years in prison moscow then released the video in which the ukrainian commander in detention in russia say's he ignored orders to stop. so i'm with the melissa boy commander of the navy division of the ukrainian military forces of the cut straight after crossing of the russian border we had visual contact with the russian border service vessels which by consciously ignored their commands to stop when our boat we had small arms and a machine gun and with ammunition i was aware that the action of the ukrainian vessels in the straits provoke it i was following my orders to move our ships from the portal for this to mario. a western countries were quick to express serious

concern over what happened both russia and ukraine call for an emergency session of the un security council russia's representative seem to make little headway with others or run the table here how to play. what we witnessed this weekend as yet another reckless russian escalation it follows on from russia's in legal an exception of crimea in two thousand and fourteen grains because there are great inside violated our border in a place which even before twenty fourteen was russian territory. russia must respect the people implementation of the means to prevent 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. at least and now it's surprisingly turns out that we occupy the hands of c. is wealthy this is something new to me for i'd like to assure you create a file with solidarity united states will continue to stand with the people of

ukraine against the russian aggression. so this could be perceived as calm for ukraine to carry out further provocation. well afterwards the russian deputy u.n. envoy told us he's disappointed with his western counterparts positions. and 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 ours for 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 for as a pro occasions of these type because they haven't heard they didn't hear during

the meeting and your approach is from from western side that they did something wrong. another chaotic weekend in paris the details of this. i think. donald trump following doubts of a meeting with vladimir putin doesn't seem like a big deal given the already polar state of affairs between the two countries plus the manner in which it was cancelled over twitter may sting the kremlin more than the cancellation itself is the mythical trump putin of romance finally over.

who should start the game to discuss where we can. chancellor merkel runs has said we have a lot of riches between germany and europe and russia and too few stories which use is quite easy and really forced. to take a whole lot of. central park this was brought to a standstill on something made by a so-called yellow best movement against soaring fuel prices it was the most

violent of three successive weekends of all the rest and riot police riot and force four hundred people plus were arrested scores injured including our correspondents spread all over and look at loser who were hit by rubber bullets which will peter witnessed right that. 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 man you well might call actually is remove into this we're seeing riots is riot police tear gas everything you can possibly imagine. oh.

we're actually seeing tear gas flying 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 might be bearing most of the brunt of that those demonstrate is that i spoke to they say they aren't going anywhere humanity should be put first not money because it's not impossible you know you come to the zero tests because you don't have enough money to survive till the end of the month subject to suit we do work in the minimal terror of

a social insurance and they don't understand what was next and like to be sure we can do the best we can to provide good conditions for the patients sick to the army tax from all sides who work we study we raise our children there we are overtaxed so some move in the problem aside we're seeing more room or problems fall couple around here as a fire herod set up as a blockade across the street of one of the streets of a new five on 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 kilis there isn't just one group that the police all trying to contain the truth. was. was. that a.

number of people incredibly upset particularly with the french media they thought we were from one of the french broadcasts as 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 forest 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 and r t france correspondent luca lose your shirt his story after being injured. most of the protesters he wanted to go back to the show mr lee's a joined in small groups i was following one of the it's in the end we came back to the plaster shows to go and at that moment i was shocked i mean really thought the

bullet had come from law enforcement or as the police were shooting from that side of the protesters they were able to understand i wasn't a protester i wasn't wearing a yellow vest i was wearing a leather jacket and a helmet i was also holding a monopod with my mobile foreign in my hand for a live stream you know in this situation everything is hard to understand that although i had a number and with it fresh written on it but i put it in my pocket i didn't want to wear it is it looks a bit like a police force and i didn't want to have any problems with the protesters. all trumps patients long worn thin with america's main news providers so this week he floated the idea of setting up his own state run alternative either said i love takes a look at how if it ever makes it to or from t.v. my 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 do the level of dishonesty is out of control the two go mets 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 world wide 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 ups a leap 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 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 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 while 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. it is delicious try it if you haven't so that was it our morning kids show this is c.n.n. . go back to the here and now examine worlds apart. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to the rich eight point six percent market saw

a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one to one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it's meaningless in 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 and there's just no way to parent and that we want even many of the dems mammaries 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. god. hello and welcome to worlds apart donald trump bowing out of a g. twenty meeting with vladimir putin doesn't seem like a big deal given the already poor state of affairs between the two countries but

the manner in which it was cancelled over twitter without as much as making a courtesy call may sting the kremlin more than the cancellation itself he's the mythical trump put in bromance finally over to discuss that i'm now i'm joined by nicolai petro professor of political science at the university of rhode island professor petras good to talk to you thank you very much for your time nice to be here now you seem cautiously optimistic about the two countries moving forward after the house and the summit between the two leaders are heard in one interview you particularly noted the tone they it to president struck and i agree that they seem to have found if not there are a poor but at least sound way off not purposefully offending each other given the recent cancellation do you think that optimism was a bit premature well i actually wrote a piece least.
