chancellor merkel runs has said we have a lot of religious between germany and europe and russia. to destroy a bridge this is quite easy and really fast. to leave a whole lot of. news review with the week the g. twenty wrapped up in argentina with a temporary freeze in the bruising trade war between the u.s. and china also look at the much shorter than anticipated conversation that did eventually happen between presidents trump and print. it was global concern is russia and ukraine were brought almost to the brink of a conflict after moscow seized three ships it said violated its territorial waters

. i i i was paris last weekend that city recovering from the worst riots in a decade spot by more protests against higher fuel taxes b.l.o.b.'s demonstrations in france and i was a bit weak. hello good morning just what i am here in moscow this is kevin hour here r t h q with a round of big stories covered for you for the last seven days it was argentina that many of the world news crews headed to us included for the g. twenty summit in fact they concluded on saturday in borders are as big as ever tackling a whole raft of crucial issues including this time u.s. china trade war possibilities also ukraine and strengthening corp. aeration jedward

. so some of the highlights the u.s. president held a keenly 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 did talk to reporters for about half an hour to share his thoughts on the gathering in south america that are just happened it put trenka was in the argentine capital to cover 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 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 series but

then the provocation in the black sea took place so the u.s. decided not to have the meeting we still have a chance to chat with president trump on this issue we expressed our positions and remain 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

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 crimean 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 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

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 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. just before the g. twenty happened a week ago russian border patrol sees those three ukrainian ships near the crimean peninsula moscow accuses those ships of violating its territorial waters the distant brought russia and ukraine close pretty much to full blown conflict and

stead international concern as well. 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 to 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 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 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. found 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 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 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 were 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 partially. martial law being put in place

as an attempt by him to radicalize the solidify the base well those sailors on board with then taken into custody and charged with illegally crossing the russian border they could face up to six years in prison. released a video in which the ukrainian commander in detention right now in russia says he ignored orders to stop. i'm with the 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 straits provoke it i was following my orders to move our ships from the port or for this to mario western countries who are quick to express serious concern over what happened both russia and ukraine then called for an emergency session of

the un security council russia's representatives seem to make little headway with others around the table is a little 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. russia must respect the full implementation of the means the preeminent 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 contacts the sea. police and now it's surprisingly turns out that we occupy the sea is wealthy this is something new if you me for 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 culpable launch for ukraine to carry out further provocations 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 countries situationally immediately changed to the alleged turn an expression of crimea by my country which we of course fires 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 at its units of 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 and your approach is from from western side that they did something wrong. live with news review with

a week this is early monday morning coming up in more the stories the last week this was the scene of this weekend in paris is fuel tax protests a strike you get more than a hundred injured hundreds more arrested we'll take you through what happened in more detail our correspondents got caught up in the rubber bullet shops as well we'll tell you about as i say when we come back. you know world big partisan loftus and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle

for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. all make manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is protect themselves. in the final. we can all middle of the room sick. one of the morning here most of this week saw disaster was avoided the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan so who is running for its next flight that is the day crew

members are set to blast off to the international space station look at a head to it. at the launch site for us. happened was a carbon drawn raised for grayson's may a loop routine they've been doing it for sixty years the rocket is assembled to 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 yuri gagarin but this time is different the last men launch didn't go well no one wants that to

happen again. first take up started 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 metre three hundred ton construction with all the automatic emergency systems immediately aborted that mission 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 but i 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 dinner's is why. or the merges the capsule with two fortunate crewmembers landed safely. the rescue training is 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 on 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 on deforest many times stronger than gravity some cold they skate 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 a fault in the sensor so this could only happen at the assembly stage of the baikonur cosmodrome. and behind me is where they put the rockets parts together as always manually and this is where they investigated 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. 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 of their weakness their ported launch in october of seymour. 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 sent incredible work to the city this. year on the ground can you really do every every day i went inside feeling absolutely safe is a bit small. as any time and i wish. i could take part in the design but. eight and a half minutes after takeoff the seniors is expected to reach orbit and just six hours late adopter with the international space station but this time it will feel much longer mission russian r.t. from baikonur in kazakhstan so we'll be covering that later today in

a cellar we covered this weekend was what happened in central paris literally portress danced along something by more of the so-called yellow best movement against soaring fuel prices is the most violent history successive weekends of unrest in what place right in for those four hundred twelve people were arrested more than one hundred thirty injured including two of our correspondents people over a look as they head for both hit separately by rubber bullets is what peter witnessed throughout the day so. 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. i.

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 blows 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 good conditions for patience we are being taxed from all sides we work we study we raise our children now we are overtaxed so suck moving 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 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 it. was.

a good. thing. 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 peter over your correspondent literally think of it there also his colleague on two fronts correspondent. his story after being injured . most of the protesters he wanted to go back to the 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 the bigger picture across france over one hundred thirty thousand people took part in those protests across the country french president's men were micron surveyed the damage in paris he held an emergency security meeting sunday earlier he told reporters in what is are is because he was there for the g. twenty but all those responsible for the violence will be identified he said and

held to account political commentator believes the problem is rooted much deeper than just reforms in france that. is not just about the gas prices but it's a general hold against the policy of the government the problem is this not most of the government can do because the government the orders from the european commission and the european commission want to balance the budget and do in the public services and that has been going on for years and years and years and. it's not. the solution to everything in his head that thing is extremely extremely said center. i don't understand the depth of the problem and. the people how. incompetent there may be skillful fans when they see this level of competence and.

the depth of the problem of the fate of their own country and the problem of the put their staffs is that they feel to some but they don't seem to hear those are the problem is much deeper and has to do with the general policing of the european union. where if you watch around the world come to the smallest kevin i would starting off that's the way some of the big news stories shaped up this week as reported by us here at r.t. international down hawkins is here for the coming hours for now for me to buy. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murderer 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 were executing innocent people is terrifying is just no

really hasn't been that we want even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to get pellet here is 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 saying. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. donald trump firing doubts of a meeting with vladimir putin doesn't seem like a big deal given the already polls state of affairs between the two countries most of the manner in which it was cancelled over twitter may sting the kremlin more than the cancellation itself is the mythical trump truth in a bromance finally over.

so after reading trash for life a name stick in the current group. invited us to outreach for the twenty fifth anniversary of the founding of the episode. on october fifth through the fast this plane was shot down under guard for the poor play robbery carm. corporate church run. and there were one crew member the curfew shake the. usual caution watch the name of gina house and. never see. cure me after we arrived. the nikken are when your dish your tribunals which take cost of course out to the crash site and asked us to events we wanted to go on a helicopter with our supplies to the crash site house and flush walk through us about all the flights you've been on all these covert flights of army air corps and

he would course angry because he had been abandoned by the reagan administration he was basically a covert operator mercenary he was proud of. his capture would reveal a complex web of covert operations run by us colonel oliver north reagan's administration had bypassed congressional control and funded the contra insurgents through drug trafficking and secret arms sales to be wrong it's all secret but the house in question down blew it out into the open to make a mistake it's really hard for tehran sir no i'm not taking any more questions i just a second i'm going to ask a journey general meese to brief you on what we presently know what he has found in the united states why. somebody didn't tell us why. the revelations of the iran contra affair gave new momentum to the word.
