1:02 pm
among the highlights the u.s. president held a keenly watched meeting with his chinese counterpart at the summit on saturday but neither gave a news conference afterwards unlike those two leaders the russian president did talk to reporters though to share his thoughts on the gathering in south america our correspondent who was in the argentine capital covering it all for us. 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
1:03 pm
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 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 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 serious
1:04 pm
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 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 sooner or later 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 hagel americal for breakfast and treated her with a traditional russian meal that featured caviar and tank. now
1:05 pm
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 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
1:06 pm
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 the elections they go ahead and do it why to cattell civil liberties and 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 i'm sure that they have discussions regularly as there are various. yes 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 imagine he would have
1:07 pm
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're 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. the more the big story is the most seven days last sunday russian border patrol sees those three ukrainian ships near the crimean peninsula in the moscow queues of the ships violating its territorial waters but instead brought russia and ukraine pretty close to full blown conflict at one point and state international concerned.
1:08 pm

1:10 pm
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 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 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 to give them justification for establishing martial law with the sky for months to go until elections russian men age sixteen to sixty new longer welcome or no longer allowed entry into ukraine russian foreign ministry they've said that this is merely a political ploy a political play in order to shore up mr partially. martial law being put in place

is an attempt by him to radicalize the solidify the base a correspond on the scene down there well the sailors meantime on board were taken into custody and charged with illegally crossing the russian border they could face up to six years in prison. then released a video too in which the ukrainian commander in detention in russia says he ignored orders to stop. i am 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 the coast straits provoke it if i was following my orders to move our ships from the port or for there to mario pull western countries were quick to express serious concern of what happened both russia and ukraine called for an emergency session of
1:12 pm
the un security council russia's representatives into made little headway there with others around the table is a little play there. what we witnessed this weekend is yet another reckless russian escalation it follows on from russia's illegal an acceleration 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 you know russia must respect the full implementation of the means grim and if you're not an additional i hope that you break the midst agreement and know perfectly there's not a single word about crimea russia wants to comics the sea of us all at least and now it's surprisingly turns out that we occupy the hands of c. is wealthy this is something new if you 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 culpable launch for ukraine to carry out further provocation. afterwards the russian deputy
1:13 pm
un envoy told us he's disappointed with his western counterparts positions. and discovered that they were not very eager to discuss these concrete situationally immediately changed to alleged an accession of crimea by my country which were of course for us in 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 for as a pro occasions of this type because they haven't heard they didn't hear during the meeting any approaches from from western side that they did something wrong we should talk to international live coming up with more the news of the last seven
1:14 pm
days chaos in paris this weekend is fuel tax protest like you get more than a hundred feet. more rest to take you through what happened. to. donald trump firing shots of a meeting with vladimir putin doesn't seem like
1:15 pm
a big deal given the already poor state of affairs between the two countries in the manner in which it was canceled all over twitter may sting the kremlin more than the cancellation itself is the mythical trump truth in a bromance finally over. again just weeks after a disaster was avoided to the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan is reading for its next flight again crew members are set to blast off to the international space station monday. at the launch site for us.
1:16 pm
to. have to walk through a garden of your own risk perforations many a loop routine they've been doing it for sixteen years the rocket has some bold look at this it's really the entrance for the to the long side where it's raised to a vertical position when fueled then check and double tipped. it was done here when the first human was sent to space from here yuri gagarin but this time is different the last men launch didn't go well no one wants that to happen again. looked over his takeoff started smoothly
1:17 pm
but ninety seconds into the flight something went wrong if they only hoped it will happen. while separating the rocket stages bumped into each other the fifty meters three hundred ton construction was quick told the automatic emergency system immediately aborted the mission and undock the crew capsule. instead of going to the international space station they landed in kazakhstan's and liz steps hundreds of kilometers from way they had taken off just minutes early by couldn't alongside intension the remote back in the nineteen fifties at the height of the cold war it was a practical necessity to hide the spaceport away from prying western eyes but also away from people to avoid victims in case of a rocket disaster this will dinners where is. or they merge in c. capsule with two fortunate crewmembers landed safely.
1:18 pm
at the rescue training as part of an obligatory routine before every launch helicopters deeps navigation systems are involved and people are in how to coordinate to find the crew quickly and they stunt their skills saved two lives from the russian cosmonaut and american astronaut seemed unharmed after the incident on the little blue given that they fell from a height of fifty kilometers making a steep ballistic descend under force many times stronger than gravity some cold days and miracle. a special commission was formed do best to gauge what went wrong three weeks later they reached a conclusion a sensor that was supposed to detect the separation of the stagers was faulty. the reason behind the failure was operational the action occurred due to a fault in a sensor so this could only happen at the assembly stage of the baikonur cosmodrome
1:19 pm
. and behind me is where they put the rockets parts together as always manually and this is where i think best to gator's relieve the sensor metal detail that big was deformed to trigger in their margin see lending securities higher than ever extra people are invited to supervise the prices no journalists are allowed inside but we've got the video of the space agency shared with us what they call a technical shooting they filmed assembly in fine detail every screw every joint they know now it may help the investigation. just seven weeks after the failure baikonur is ready for the next manned flight further delay could disrupt the work of the isis and the crew some of them witnessed their boarded launch in october of seymour confit. than ever in the russian technology that carries astronauts to the international space station in
1:20 pm
a way witnessing that event to me was actually reassuring in the smart design over the so use and the incredible work of the city this people here on the ground can do i really do every every image i went inside feeling absolutely safe is a bit small. as any time and a wish that may be said i could take part in the design but i ate into half minutes after takeoff the sea use is expected to reach orbit and just six hours late to dock with the international space station but this time it will feel much longer ration russian r r t from baikonur in kazakstan. social paris is brought to a standstill on saturday by the so-called yellow vest movement against soaring fuel prices it was the most violent of three successive weekends of one rest riot police
1:21 pm
were out in force four hundred twelve people are eventually arrested and scores injured including our correspondent peter oliver and lucas ligero who were hit by rubber bullets is what peter witnessed 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 might call actually is remove into this missing rice's 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
1:22 pm
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 demonstrate is 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 something to say 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
1:23 pm
good conditions for patience we are being taxed from all sides we work we study we raise our children now we are overtaxed. moving the problem aside we're seeing more room or problem spark up around here is a fire herod's set up as a blockade across the street of where one of the streets off of a new five and this isn't set in the seventies and going anywhere anytime soon 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. any. number of people incredibly upset particularly with the french media they thought
1:24 pm
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 fires on saturday you'd 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 that was demonstrators also from demonstrators towards police your correspondent peter all of her in the thick of it there really and meantime marty franz correspondent local legend shared his story after he was injured more badly than peter in fact. most of the protesters he wanted to go back to the show him still easy joined in small groups i was following one of them but in the end we came back to the plaster charles de gaulle and at that moment i was shot i made it lethal the bullet had come from law enforcement as
1:25 pm
the police were shooting from that side at 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 hands for a live stream you know in this situation everything is hard to understand i had an armband with press 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 armband and i didn't want to have any problems with the protesters the bigger picture over one hundred thirty thousand people took part in those yellow vests protests across the country french president amount of across surveyed the damage in paris he held an emergency security meeting this sunday but still as yet no official statements been made of any emergency measures but he's urged officials to meet with protest leaders nonetheless earlier mccrone told reporters and one is ari's for the g. twenty that all those responsible for the violence will be identified and held to account political commentator believes the problem is rooted much deeper than just
1:26 pm
these reforms in france right now though. it's not just about the gas prices but it's a general revolt against their policy of the government the problem is this not most of the government can do because the government rescue will be the orders from the european commission and the european commission want to balance the budget and do cuts in the public services and that has been going on for years and years and years including on the lawn and sarkozy and sun. it things he has the solution to everything in his head i think it's extremely hard dense extremely said center extremely detached from reality i don't think he understand the depth of the problem and the index and the people around him and the distance of the mainstream media the dettori least it's a clear they're incredibly incompetent they're mighty scarce for fans when they see this level of competence and in your hands of the depth of the problem of the reality of their own country and the problem of the protesters is that they focus
1:27 pm
on micro but they don't seem to realize that the problem is much deeper and has to do with the general policing of the european union. and that's why so the big news story shapes of this week as reported by a sort of international here moskos kevin zero in saying thanks ever so much watching us twenty six months post not at night another sunday on the program continue for you and your part of the world but after this break. we should starve if you pay to discuss where we can call 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 far. but to me proof would take a whole lot of.
1:28 pm
when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be religion the death penalty just because i think that's a fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying is just no it hasn't and that we're even many victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the respect they get pell hears because that's what murder victims' 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. to. pull this
