so people already called in for just twelve euros fifty a month. thank you notes he's due for a view of the week the g twenty wraps up in argentina with a temporary freeze in the bruising trade war between the u.s. and china also we look at the much shorter than anticipated compensator eventually between presidents from. there was global concern as russia and ukraine nearly brought to the brink of conflict conflict after. three ships of this territorial
4:01 pm
waters also. i. mean this is just this weekend in paris that city recovering of the worst riots in a decade spot by more protests against higher fuel tax is the best demonstrations in front of the good week. good morning live from moscow this is the weekly with me kevin just ten midnight here as is our round up of the big stories we covered for you of the last seven days i was argentina that many of the world news crews headed to. for the g. twenty summit concluded on saturday and leaders are tackling that whole raft of crucial issues they normally face this time including the u.s.
4:02 pm
china trade war potentially ukraine and generally strengthening cooperation together. so most of the highlights the u.s. president held a kingly watched meeting with his chinese counterpart on day two of the summit but neither gave a news conference afterwards unlike those two leaders the russian president though did talk to reporters to share his thoughts on the gathering in south america and he was in the 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
4:03 pm
donald trump sent all of us into breaking news mode by tweeting right from on board air force one. 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 ex-president george h.w. bush and 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 canceled that meeting in paris because we didn't want to interfere in the one commemorations so we decided to meet and point to series but
4:04 pm
then the provocation in the black sea. place says the u.s. decided not to have the meeting still have a chance to chat with president trump on this issue we expressed our positions and remain committed to them i 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 us 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 russian meal that featured caviar and tank. now
4:05 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 you was dollars a day now going back to his talks with anglo merkel and emmanuel 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 vessels log book mr putin also said that the reaction from the western leaders that he got to that was
4:06 pm
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 a 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 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 the pool's city craning government is dividing the country i'm 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 in his view of it whether we agree with it or not is helpful to the discussion and i think mr trump
4:07 pm
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 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're designed to give the world leaders a chance to air confusion a misconception with each other and to make their points decisions are made by pure accuracies and larger organizations later afterwards. now we could go russian border patrol seize those three ukrainian ships near the crimean peninsula moscow accuse those ships of violating its territorial waters the interest of brought russia and ukraine pretty close to full blown conflict at one
4:08 pm
point i understand international consent just before the g twenty. contrary to the un convention of russian voters 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
4:09 pm
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 they continued making their way forward to certain point refusing all communications from russian border patrol deciles 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 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 in 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
4:10 pm
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 launches to machine gun the ukrainian side for its part claims that he'd fallen 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 new longer welcome and no longer allowed entry into ukraine russian foreign ministry they've said that this is merely a political ploy
4:11 pm
a political play in order to shore up mr partial ratings martial law being put in place is an attempt by him to radicalize the solidify the base well those sailors on board were taken into custody and charged with illegally crossing the russian border as we heard they could face up to six years in prison then released a video in which the ukrainian commander in detention right now or in russia says he ignored orders to stop. 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 code straits provoke it if i was following my orders to move our ships from the portal for this to mario western countries were quick to express serious
4:12 pm
concern over what happened both russia and ukraine called for an emergency session of the un security council russia's representatives seem to be little headway there with others around the table here's how it all played out 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 there are great inside violated our border in a place which even before twenty fourteen was russian territory on particular russia must respect the full implementation of the means agreement you're not an additional i hope that you'll read the mid-scale greenman to know perfectly there's not a single word about crimea russia wants to can access the sea of us or at least she and now we'd surprisingly turns out that we occupy the hands of c. is wealthy this is something new we thought i'd like to assure you christopher was solidarity united states will continue to stand with the people of ukraine against the russian aggression. so this could be perceived as carte blanche for ukraine to
4:13 pm
carry out further provocation afterwards the russian deputy un envoy told us he was disappointed with his western counterparts positions. i discovered that they were not very eager to discuss these concrete situationally immediately changed. in extension of crimea by my country which were of course the first. and. specifically mentioned that crimea was not so stoic on security council agenda. i fear that some of the western countries so that particular influence on the ukraine are really displayed so session at its units of the ukrainian side might feel a little bit and bold and to engage in for as a provocation those of these type because they haven't they didn't hear during the meeting and you approach this from from western side that they did something wrong
4:14 pm
live from moscow this early monday morning in watching a news review of the week still to come chaos in part as well as weekend as fuel tugs protests struck again more than a hundred people were injured hundreds more arrested because some dramatic pictures coming out across from this ranger to tell you all about it as soon as we come back . the.
4:15 pm
politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line. to get acceptable were checked. so what you want to express an interest. or something you want to be. actually going to be for this is what them. interested always in the. past midnight here in moscow not just weeks off to disaster was avoided because at that to baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan seems so is his wedding for his next man flight lay his today monday crew members are set to blast off to the international space station if an ocean is there for
4:16 pm
a preview at the launch site to see what's going to happen. had to walk through a garden drawn raised for abrasions may loop routine they've been doing it for sixteen years the rocket is assembled look at this it's ready then transported to the lorne side where it's raised to a vertical position for any fuel then check and double check. it was done here when the first human was sent to space from here you're a good guy aren't but this time is different the last man launches didn't go well no one wants that to happen again. looked over his takeoff started
4:17 pm
smoothly but ninety seconds into the flight something went wrong in the family i hoped it would happen. while separating the rocket stages prompting to each other the fifty meters three hundred ton construction with full the automatic emergency system immediately aborted that mission and until 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 earlier 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 we're told so away from people to avoid victims in case of
4:18 pm
a rocket disaster this will dinner's is why. or the merges the capsule with two fortunate crewmembers landed safely. at the rescue training as part of an obligatory routine before every launch helicopters jeeps navigation systems are involved and people are in how to coordinate to find the crew quickly and they stunt their skills saved two lives. 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 and taken a steep ballistic descend under force many times stronger than gravity some cold days and miracle. a special commission was formed do the 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
4:19 pm
a fault in the sensor so this could only happen at the assembly stage at the baikonur cosmodrome. 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 b. 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 for the full. the. full just seven weeks after the feeler baikonur is ready for the next man flight further delay could disrupt the work of the isis and the crew some
4:20 pm
of their weakness therefore to launch in october seem more common the for. an effort in the russian technology that carries astronauts to the international space station in a way witnessing that event to me was actually reassuring in the smart design so you send incredible work to the city this. year on the ground can you really do every if you know i went inside feeling absolutely safe is a bit small. as any time they wish to. take part in the design but. eight and a half minutes after takeoff the sea news is expected to reach all of it and just six hours later to talk with the international space station but this time it will feel much longer and brief russian r.t. from baikonur in kazakhstan. ok that's set to happen later on today so this we can just go central part of what's
4:21 pm
a status to what is something that by the so-called yellow best movement against the shore in food prices that people were about it was the most violent of three successive weekends by the rest and by police rather force all told four hundred twelve people were arrested scores more injured including our correspondent so peter all of that moved close nazeer you know both hit by rubber bullets separately is what people witnessed throughout the day. these demonstrators have been very clear on 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.
4:22 pm
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 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
4:23 pm
because you don't have enough money to survive til the end of the month subsectors 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 patients we are being taxed from all sides we work we study we raise our children now 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 these 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.
4:24 pm
that made. 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 paris 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 police towards demonstrators also from demonstrators towards police or your correspondent peter all of a way to think of it meantime his colleague go to france correspondent. shared his story of being injured here is. most of the protesters he wanted to go back to the
4:25 pm
show sillies a joined in small groups i was following one of them in the end we came back to the plaster shows to go and at that moment i was shot i made it lethal the bullet had come from law enforcement 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 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 as it looks a bit like a police armband and i didn't want to have any problems with the protesters or the bigger picture across the weekend over one hundred thirty thousand people took part in these yellow vests protests across the country french president emanuel macross surveyed the damage in paris he held an emergency security meeting sunday no official statement out of that he has officials to meet with protest leaders earlier mccrone told supporters in one azeris course he was there for the g twenty
4:26 pm
summit that all those responsible for the violence will be identified and held to account political commentators on break want believe the problem is rooted much deeper than just these reforms right now in france. it's not just about the gas prices but it's a general hold against the police the of the government the problem is that it's not most of the government can do because the government asking will be the orders from the european commission and the european commission want to balance the budget and do that in the public services and that has been going on for years and years and years including the law and circassians on that is not all my cause i didn't see as the solution to everything in his head aching sixteen year old and sixteen you said center is to lead the dutch comedy early days i don't understand the depth of the problem and linda the people. of the mainstream media the detail is that apply the ok the incompetent and. he scares the fans when they see
4:27 pm
this level of competence and. of the depth of the paul graham of the fate of their own country and the problem of the put us thus is that they fall to some where they don't seem to hate or the problem is much deeper and has to do with the general policing of the european union. and those toys some of the big news story shaped up this last week as reported by us here at r.t. international here in moscow is covered i would say thanks ever so much for watching our programs continue for you and your partner world right after this short break. i am. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will
4:28 pm
be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be to 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 were executing innocent people is terrifying those just mooned that hasn't been that we hear even many victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families want to that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite you know we've been through this this isn't the way.
4:29 pm
he didn't do. it is. really no way really is here. you know we're going to move even you're going to see in this you're. going to get the.
