9:02 pm
i. shine and the u.s. have agreed to halt any new tariffs for ninety days she jumping and donald trump met on day two of the g. twenty summit in argentina but neither gave a news briefing afterwards whether the russian president did speak to reporters giving his views on the summit or was there in the argentine 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 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
9:03 pm
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 shot 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 the 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 still have a chance to chat with president trump on this issue we expressed our positions and
9:04 pm
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 that the president's not here anymore we were actually able to get inside the lobby
9:05 pm
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 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
9:06 pm
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 but 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
9:07 pm
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. it's been a week now since russian border god seized three ukrainian ships off the coast of crimea moscow accuse them of entering russian waters without authorization that incident sparked fears of an all out conflict between the two countries.
9:08 pm

9:10 pm
notification of its intent to cross the passage of the strait of. into the as of see that the russians acted brazenly aggressively at 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 for establishing. martial law with the sky and four months to go until elections russian men age sixteen to sixteen no longer welcome and 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 poroshenko ratings martial law being put in place as an attempt by him to radicalize the solidify voter base the twenty four sailors on board those ukrainian ships were arrested and charged with
9:11 pm
illegally crossing the russian maritime border if found guilty they could face up to six years in prison was released the video in which the ukrainian commander who's being held in russia has he ignored orders to stop so i'm going to melissa morey 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 orders to move our ships from the port or for this to mario people awake of that incident both russia and ukraine called for an emergency session of the u.n. security council here's how that 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 because there are gradients so i violated
9:12 pm
our border in a place which even before twenty fourteen was russian territory. russia must respect the full implementation of the means to agreement you're not an additional i hope that you read the midst greenman to know perfectly there's not a single word about crimea russia wants to comics the sea. and now it's surprisingly turns out that we occupy the azov sea as well this is something new if you me for 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 cult braun's for ukraine to carry out further provocations after the session the russian deputy un envoy spoke exclusively to r.t. you said western powers seemed unwilling to discuss the specifics of what exactly happened in the kurdish. discovered that
9:13 pm
they were not very eager to discuss these countries situationally immediately changed to the alleged an extension of crimea by my country which were of course so far as they deny it and i specifically mentioned that crimea was not topical security council agenda. i fear that some of the western countries that have particular influence on the ukraine are really displayed session or at its units of the ukrainian side might feel a little bit and bold don't to engage in for as a pro occasions 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. to come this hour on the program the latest on a brutal standoff between french police and fuel tax protesters you think should here not international.

9:30 pm
about fifty percent of americans are for the death penalty and fifty percent against it. our capital punishment system is flawed this is not a matter of vengeance it's a matter of just the fact that we believe serves as a turn capital punishment is tainted by racial disparity having my father's killers executed and nothing be a sense of closure is it to restore society or is it an issue if you take a life should your life be taken and justice is about us as a society. nine hundred eighty two was my first execution. i was a correctional officer. one of my main jobs were to save the lives.
