in fact the g eight becomes the g. seven and you know it's oster size so the creation itself of blocks and a block tension is this is a creature of the west and it serves a particular purpose the purpose is to serve the interests of the elite here that do not want to see competing centers of power economic political social whatever anywhere in the world but rather vassals to whatever state organization they have control of at the moment is the united states military is the european political construct they had hoped although that now they're turning on china to use china's economic power also as a part of this construct and this is almost like looking at you know molotov ribbentrop in poland back in yeah one nine hundred thirty nine in terms of the break in the real estate between the two blocs if i were doing strategic planning for the russian military i'd have to be looking at it that way and looking you know at this basically as the beginning of an invasion of russia for it physically i mean how many military assets

g. eight becoming the g. seven wasn't the only thing counts and down with the clock apparently now and seconds before some action we will have a chance to see what mr putin does over the next. two three four weeks and the group finally cooked up and ultimatums if these things don't happen then sectoral sanctions will fall or they're accusing russians completely without any basis of having troops or smuggling in supporters of smiling weapons these are completely scurrilous charges and yet they're putting them out there to justify their own aggression with our talks still fresh on their lips the leaders have to face putin shortly after. and i was here when the when all the heads of state pain together to mark seventy years since the day that we saw some unexpected interesting and awkward moments. the public was frantic to see how french organizers will settle the logistical nightmare of position in two presidents at odds far enough at all events while they succeeded the host had to die and really hard to make s

g. eight gathering which was initially said you'll be held in sochi was canceled moved to brussels russia also sidelined from the event from the summit that's why we've got the g. seven rather than the g. eight but rather putin will be president. thirty four hours later when the world leaders gather once more this time in france to mark seventy years since the d.-day landings and this is seems is given french president francois hollande somewhat of a logistical headache now he's hungry it seems to try and improve his diplomatic skills so hungry in fact that he set to host two dinners on thursday evening one for u.s. president barack obama and the other one for russian president vladimir putin in a tent to try and keep the leaders apart from one another when we should be talking about serious business like ukraine expansion of nato the brics and nato as opposing camps in our days we should be this cursed at the presidential level in the same room in doubt because of schoolboy tactics i would say of the obama administration we have this is ridiculous the two dinners in a row thursday in fra

g. eight so instead it moved to brussels and shrank to a table for seven where they chewed over a list of requirements for the man who's been leaving a sour taste in their math president putin has recognized the legitimate election of president pushing him to stop crossing the border into ukraine russian support for separatist groups so the g eight becoming the g seven wasn't the only thing counts and down with the clock apparently now second to for some action we will have a chance to see what mr putin does over the next. two three four weeks and the group finally cooked up and ultimatums if these things don't happen then sectoral sanctions will follow they're accusing russians completely without any basis of having troops or smuggling in supporters of smiling weapons these are completely scurrilous charges and yet they're putting them out there to justify their own aggression with our talks still fresh on their lips the leaders hats face putin shortly after. and i was here in normandy when all the heads of state playing together to mark seventy years since the day that we saw some unexp

the commonwealth the g seven the g eight and the g twenty if scotland decides to go solo its name will be struck off a lot of guest lists and the british government points out it was planning to devolve more power to the scottish parliament from next year anyway from twenty fifteen the scottish parliament will get more powers to set tax rates and decide if and when to borrow money even if it's not independent lilly's it also points out that the u.k. represents scottish interests abroad take for example scottish whiskey for billion pounds of the stuff was exported last year but if scotland the whisks itself away from the union it would have a small a network of embassies promoting it spirals abroad business could suffer which could leave the industry nursing an independence hangover the scottish government told r.t. that it won't be posting its owed pro independence brochures in respond. anyone interested in the scottish government's believe for independence can request a copy of the white paper where their plans are will set out. so as it stands at the moment it looks like the majority

he was excluded from what was originally planned as a g eight summit. one of the measures.president obama says russia could face further economic sanctions if they did not the escalate the situation. president obama and queen elizabeth are among heads of state who will gather tomorrow at a beach in northern france to mark the 70th anniversary of d- day. at a ceremony after the veterans were awarded a special normandie metal for their participation in the invasion the ceremony will include tributes to those who fought. also to the normandy civilians. >> looks like the l.a. clippers owner is surrendering. no plans to end his fight with the nba and sell his team. and be banned sterling for life after his record of making racist comments. sterling was fighting back. he now says he will accept the $2 billion offer from microsoft co- founder. also dropping his lawsuit against the nba. the league will not take any legal action against him. >> attack on the markets after a big announcement this morning. if you'd between the flicks and fries and a stirring up agaia few it is stig up

g. eight and perhaps relations haven't been helped by announcements here at the g. seven over the last twenty four hours or so the g seven countries have ratcheted up the pressure on russia demanding that they do all in their power to deescalate the tensions in eastern ukraine and the seven leading industrial nations saying that russia should prevent what it calls a what they call militants crossing the border from russia into ukraine if they fail to do this and the threat of further sanctions is very real according to british prime minister david cameron first the status quo is unacceptable the continuing destabilization of eastern ukraine must stop second there are a set of things that need to happen president putin has recognized the legitimate election of president poroshenko going to stop arms crossing the border into ukraine he must cease russian support for separatist groups and third if these things don't happen then sectoral sanctions will follow what amid the calls for deescalation president barack obama also spoke of the possibility of washington training

well even though russia was excluded from the g eight over the ukrainian crisis moscow was still a hot topic at the summit on thursday political analyst abortion marriage says that by encouraging kerry's military crackdown the west isn't helping to resolve the situation it would have been so much easier if they really wanted to solve this issue to keep the russians in and talk with them but no they decided to exclude russians and then try to bluster and threaten i don't think this is about russia so much as it is about the united states trying to assert control over the rest of g eight the signals we see from or from the west to kiev or kill kill kill get these people destroyed as quickly as possible while at the same time they're accusing russians completely without any basis of having troops or smuggling in supporters of smiley in weapons these are completely scurrilous charges and you also have to keep in mind that according to the current morality prevalent in the west when the government backed by the west is committing atrocities that's perfectly fine when a government not backed

after russianexed crimea and what was scheduled to be a g- eight in sochi, russia was rescheduled forn people in brussels and mr. putin was not invited. leaders are trying to talk approximate how to stop putin and how to move the troops back to the bases and how to get him to talk to the ukraine president elect. one of the differences is over the french plans to sell advance war ships to russia. president obama hasn't been able to get president holland that it is a bad idea. >> i recognize it is it a big deal. i recognize that the job's in france are important. i think it would have been preferably to press the pause button. president hollande made a different decision. >> tonight he has dinner with president hollande in paris. and no one expects the french leader to change mind. the british have substantial russian investment and make it difficult or at least expensive for the europeans to put pressure on moscow. eric? >> ahead of prom day. a stabbing suspect pled not guilty. christopher attacked marion sanchez for rejecting a prom invitation. he confessed to police saying i did it,

g. eight it was meant to be held in such a but out of it was council that was turned to the g. seven when russia was sidelined from the summit and just twenty four hours after the summit like important will be in france is that right. yeah that's correct may not be invited to the g. seven but twenty four hours later as you say the world leaders will gather at once again this time in france to mark seventy years since the d.-day landings and putin has been invited to that and it appears to give given french president francois hollande somewhat of a logistical headache now he seems hungry to try improve his diplomatic skills so hungry in fact that he set to host to dinner is on thursday evening one for russian president vladimir putin and the other one for u.s. president barack obama in an attempt to try and keep the two leaders apart from one another so it seems at the moment as if the west's attempt to try and isolate russia politically or resembling something from the playground it's not clear if when the west said that they would send a very clear signal to russia if dinner t

the g eight i mean the g. seven has wrapped up in brussels where sending messages to a missing member of the club top the agenda if russia's provocations continue russia. destabilize ukraine destabilized. and just in case you missed the point the continuing destabilization of eastern ukraine must still. russia's continuous destabilization of eastern ukraine i'm sure you meant something by that shell hospital in slavyansk. i'm pretty sure it was the ukrainian army who gave no other choice of the parents of this eight month old baby but to flee the child is very sick and on a ventilator they fled to russia by the way. maybe they meant these lines of tanks heading towards eastern ukraine. no those are ukrainian tanks ok forget the tanks maybe cameron and obama are talking about a fighter jet that bomb civilians in the eastern city of lugansk. ukrainian armed forces again eight people were killed more than two thousand injured. i'm not sure what could be more destabilizing than an armed attack against their own pe

g. eight in sochi that was council to move to brussels and for me putin wasn't invited when asked how he felt about that he simply said bon appetit two of the seven members who did sit around the dinner table on wednesday evening but president putin will be present in france later on thursday when the world leaders gather once more to mark seventy years since the d.-day landings and although u.s. president barack obama has no plans to meet with his russian counterparts the russian representative to the e.u. says that the number of european leaders who are prepared to meet. on the increase for example german chancellor angela merkel british prime minister david cameron french president francois hollande a rule set to meet with putin one on one so perhaps it's not quite a united front when it comes to isolating russia. thanks so much for bringing us this update our correspondent paul scott reporting live from brussels. now syrian leader bashar al assad has been returned as president with almost ninety percent of voters choosing him to stay in power abroad of though many countries say the p

we suspended russia from the g-eight and canceled the sochi meeting, making this the first g-7 held withoutsia in some 20 years. all seven of our nations have taken steps to impose costs on russia for its behavior. today, in contrast to a growing global economy, the sluggish russian economy is even weaker because of the choices made by russia's leadership. meanwhile, our nations continue to stand united in our support and assistance to the ukrainian people, and the g-7 summit was an occasion for me, david, and our fellow leaders to ensure that we are in lockstep going forward. on ukraine, i shared the results of my meeting yesterday with president-elect poroshenko. like many ukrainians, he wants to forge closer ties with europe and the united states but also recognizes that ukraine will benefit from a constructive relationship with russia. i believe his inauguration provides an opportunity, particularly since he has demonstrated a commitment to reach out to the east and pursue reforms. russia needs to seize that opportunity. russia needs to recognize that president-elect poroshenko is the l

direction interestingly enough in both this conflict and the two thousand and eight war in georgia the overwhelming majority of the. g.'s flee towards russia excluding some sort of bizarre stockholm syndrome it seems that for people in break we are publics in ukraine and georgia russia is a safe haven they often say that people vote with their feet and in the case of the most recent wars in european history it is clear whose feet are voting for whom and no mainstream media talking points can deny that but that's just my opinion. you can. google. google. google. google. six dramas that can be ignored.
