the government 20 is being hosted by tony abbott in brisbane.pposed to be focusing on expanding economic growth and creating jobs. but other issues are complicated matters. russian president vladimir putin is facing criticism because of new reports that russian troops are crossing in to eastern ukraine, moscow has denied the allegations. british david cameron has warned there could be more sanctions. u.s. president obama said washington would continue to take a leading role in vital global issues including the cries let ukraine. >> we are leading in dealing with ebola in west africa. and in opposing russia's aggression against ukraine. which is a threat to the world as we saw in the appalling shoot down of mh17. a tragedy that took so many innocent lives among them your fellow citizens. >> well, al jazerra's scott joins us now live from brisbane, the issue you, scott, of the ukraine crisis not agenda of the g20 but looks like leaders could be ready to talk about it, they have been talking about it already. >> reporter: they have. and, yeah, it's

tony abbott is a conservative. president obama is far from it. certainly on the issue of climate change, but president obama has really praised prime minister abbott in recent months for australia's contributions in the campaign against isis, but, you know, even on ebola where the world has really come together much because of the u.s. leadership and what president obama is trying to do in west africa, you know, tony abbott has a different approach here in australia, they have essentially a travel ban for people coming in from west africa. when i was fly thoog australia earlier i had to fill out a form stating very clearly and i had to sign my name to it saying i had not traveled in west africa before coming in here because they were taking a very, very different and more draconian approach and that is an approach that president obama has vehemently disagreed with back in the u.s. and so lots of differences there but when it comes to some of the big issues of the summit in particular, vladimir putin, i don't think that they could be in less disagr

if tony abbott was stunned, president vladimir putin was isolated. all but ignored by other world leaders over lunch. russia's actions in ukraine loom large. the obligatory handshake between host and guest was more firm than friendly. >> few people were protesting against vladimir putin, but there were marches calling for action on climate change, more right for aboriginal australians and higher taxes on banks. it is economic growth that will dominate the main g20 talks, and they could affect people like engineer jose. he left the native spain when the economy started growing backwards. he's been working on a brisbane road tunnel. >> after three or four years of hard work driving the family, and being able to say i incorporated them in some of this. it's very rewarding for us. >> the economic activity should we pay costs many times over. for the leaders meeting 5km from here, this is the scheme they want to see more of. the aim is to increase global economic growth by 2% more than objected. and pushing big infrastructure schemes is a way to achieve i

the australian prime minister tony abbott then said hughes was a young man living out his dreams. >> the thought that a player in his prime should be killed playing our national game is shocking and sobering. we should be conscious of the risks that our sports people run to give us the pleasure that they do. >> tony abbott. well, there has been an outpouring of tributes on social media. the australian coach tweeted r.i.p., little champ, we're all going to miss you. love, prayers to all the hughes family. shane warren has written, just an absolute tragedy that hughesy is no longer with us. he was such an awesome young man. the former captain tweeted, a very sad day for the world of cricket. spare a thought for shawn abbott. that is the bowler who delivered that ball. he's going to go through a very hard time. the indian cricket legend wrote shocked to hear about phil. sad day for cricket. deepest condolences to family, friends, and well-wishers. r.i.p. phillip hughes, who also played in india. our sports reporter looks back at phillip hughes's career. >> reporter: phillip hughes was t

a sense of shunned by the host as well, tony abbott, the australian prime minister.he would confront putin aggressively over the role that russia played in the downing of mh-17 over eastern ukraine. 38 australians among the 298 people killed on board. tony abbott for political reasons extremely worried about that and determined to have a full investigation. that happening as dutch experts on the ground now actually in eastern ukraine. you see the amazing video put out. it is astonishing. you see how close it was to the village in eastern ukraine where the plane went down. burning wreckage and black smoke. dutch officials on the ground right now trying to retrieve wreckage. still lots of wreckage there. they can get to the bottom of what happened and who is responsible for it. >> matthew chance, thanks. >>> gas prices keep falling. that means savings for you. an early start on your money is next. >>> all right. let's get an early start on your money. tough day for global stocks. asian stocks ended down. look at japan's benchmark down 3% today. that's on surprising new

tony abbott did stay away from victoria, keeping away from the campaign.s illustrate how quickly they burn through their political capital being elected just a year ago. most of it had to do with broken promises. lastple of days before year's election, tony abbott said no changes to medicare, no cut to the adc. both of those things have happened. nevermind the merits of the policy. the electorate now judging him on his honesty that he did not campaign on that platform. >> the fiscal picture is also pretty dark for the government, isn't it? >> yeah, it is not good. there was a colorful report this morning from deloitte access economics that use language like the budget is burning, and the 2017 and 2018 surplus that was being forecast was toast. this is all due to falling commodity prices. tax returns, tax revenues are also collapsing. wage growth has slowed in australia as well. up treasury is due to put the midyear fiscal outlook. it is expected to pay a worsening picture in the last time the prime minister spoke about the deficit. he's expecting a $29.8 b

in his closing remarks, tony abbott pledged for economies to grow by 2.1% by 2018. can you put it in context for us for the global economy. >> sure, the objective of enhancing economic growth, i have to say, is not knew to the g20 agenda. it's been on the g20 agenda since the inception 10 years ago. much of what is on the agenda in terms of detail comes from the 2013 petersburg farm. >> these include economic trade, enhancing conditions for investment and competition. particular aspects of this focus on its on here that is creating an infrastructure hub, supporting growth and trade, including financial instruments, to support small and medium enterprises and so on. the commitment to growth is an aspiration. we have to remember, these are mere aspirations. we cannot deduce concrete outcomes. >> having said all of that, what is the biggest take away from the g20? >> there's two things, one is the issue of climate and climate change, that is central. that said, the commitment to economic growth has not been discussed in relation to climate and climate change. that woul

bbc has this report. >> tony abbott insists that the victims of flight mh-17, including 38 australians, were murdered by russian-backed rebels using a missile supplied by moscow. the australian prime minister has previously tried to show up putin in brisbane, a reference to a physical challenge in australian rules football. with the conference just over a week away, mr. abbott has again warned that the russian president will have to face tough questions about the shooting down of the malaysian airliner. >> australia expects full russian cooperation with the investigation. we don't want the investigation ridiculed, we don't want the investigation compromised or sabotaged. we want full cooperation with the investigation. >> most of those onboard flight mh-17 were from the netherlands. the dutch prime minister, mark rueter, has arrived in australia to discuss the tragedy and work on ways to bring those responsible to justice. he, too, is urging vladimir putin to do more. >> i expect him to do everything he can to put pressure on the separatists to allow unlimited access to the crash site,

. >> well, he probably upset the australian prime minister tony abbott a little bit. they posed a couple of times with kualas. who doesn't think they are cute. but the president used a speech here in brisbane to basically promote his agenda in terms of battling climate change when tony abbott had said again and again he's a skeptic of climate change. here's the president taking a poke at the prime minister. >> as we develop, as we focus on our economy, we cannot forget the need to lead on the global fight against climate change. now, i know that's -- [ applause ] i know tlashere's been a health debate in this country about it. >> reporter: healthy debate, of course there a reference to the prime minister not being on board with the president's agenda. that's why some of the local media in australia is charging the president grabbed somebody by the shirt and threw him down, a rugby term. >> i love that. we're in disagreement but it's at least cordial. it sounds like the leaders are coming together and that's in slamming president putin, right? >> no doubt about it. the

we heard prime minister tony abbott speak about pushing global economic growth by 2.1%. but how much was the summit overshadowed by president vladimir putin and ukraine? >> reporter: it certainly was overshadowed by vladimir putin and ukraine. you were just talking about the alleged beheading of peter kassig, the american aide worker. i want to let you know, zain, in the last couple of minutes we received a statement from the white house, from the national security council at the white house about that situation. i'm just going to read it to you on air because you don't have the statement to put on screen. this is from bernadette meehan, the statement says we are aware of a video that claims show the murder of peter kassig by isil. the intelligence community is working as quick as possible to determine its authenticity. if confirmed we are appalled by the brutal murder of an innocent american aide worker we express our deepest condolences to family and friends. we'll provide more information when available. that is almost word for word what the national security council

. >> but before tony abbott released that final communique, it was this scene, russian president vladimirin breaking protocol and leaching the g20 early. on saturday he had been cornered by western leaders over the cries let ukraine where pro-russian separatists and government forces have been fighting for months. >> if he continues down the path that he is on, violating international law, providing heavy arms to the separatists in ukraine, violating an agreement that he agreed to just a few weeks ago, the minsk agreement that would have lowered the temperature and the killing in the disputed areas and make -- providing us a pathway for a diplomatic resolution, then the isolation that russia is currently experiencing will continue. >> more now from andrew thomas our correspondent who has been covering the g20 in brisbane. >> reporter: the focus at the ends of the g20 summit should be entirely on this. the three-page communique focus to the point that australia's government on how the world can improve its economic performance over the next five years, potentially create $2 trillion more o

the prime minister, tony abbott, is in china for a pec.der of china comes here for the g-20 summit and will stay after that to address parliament. facilities free-trade deals to have a big stage when they get signed. there are ceremonial pans and lots of hands shaking. there are plenty of chances for that kind of event to happen over the coming a few days. there are hurdles remaining. they always leave the top of the for last with these deals -- toughest things or last with these deals. so it may not happen. >> you are talking about a decade here. what are some potential sticking points, paul? >> from australia's point of view, it is mostly agriculture. the local media was reporting that the prime minister tony abbott was prepared to walk away from negotiations because he was not getting the deal on agriculture that new zealand did when it signed a free-trade deal with china. the trade minister was pretty down, saying that they have too much invested to simply walk away and they will continue to negotiate on that basis. a couple of weeks a

we want full cooperation with the investigation. >> tony abbott. >>> thousands of people have been marchingmexico to protest the slow pace of the investigation of 43 missing students. they disappeared after clashing with police in guerrero more than five weeks ago. this report from will grant. >> reporter: from the moment the 43 students were abducted in late september, the message from their friends and families has remained the same -- alive they were taken, and alive we want them back. now in mexico city, thousands of students from universities across the city turned out to add their choices to that call, too. >> translator: i'm here to tell the authorities that we have no government, and that we have no faith in them. >> translator: we want justice for the missing students. we want their bodies to be found, whatever it takes. if they within the alive, then at least find them so that their families can mourn. >> reporter: for over a month, the families and colleagues of the 43 student teachers have tried to remain hopeful that they might still be alive. despite the discovery of scores of

tony abbott. they were sometimes, but the tensions are certainly there over this tragedy, which is still not been vetted, still been unsolved >>> all right. live from donetsk, albina, thank you for joining us. >>> we are joined in the studios by the executive board member of the ukranian congress committee of america. based on what albino said, should vladimir putin have expected anything different besides a cold shoulder? >> he sent a large warship fleet to show his power. that's not a friendly thing to do with the g20 meeting. he's been doing a number of things that are unexpected and not friendly. not only the warships, sending planes and rocket launches that can fewer off nuclear -- fire off nuclear missiles. >> over europe. >> yes, and the jets over the gulf of mexico that he's planning on doing. things he's doing that is not friendly for the rest of the world. >> is there an argument for him to be included. he kind of showed up to a party he wasn't invited. but is it important to hear from h

the australian prime minister tony abbott spoke with phillip hughes as a young man living his dream. let's listen. >> the thought that player in his prime should be killed playing a national game is shocking and sobering. we should be conscious of the risks our sports people run to give us the pleasure that they do. >> reporter: so that is part of what the prime minister said. he also made mention of sean abbott who was the bowler who bowled that fateful ball. 22-year-old bowler from new south wales who is clearly going through a great deal of pain right now. we understand he was at hospital in sydney when phillip hughes passed away earlier today. we know he has been speaking to counselors and obviously the australian cricket team has rallied behind him as have the australian community. certainly we can only imagine what he must be going through right now, max. >> so much support pouring in for him. must be a difficult situation. how do you think the sport will respond from this? we heard from alex earlier. he said this was a freak accident. he was wearing a helmet. maybe future matc

the first day of the summit on saturday, tony abbott, the australian prime minister, hosted a barbecue. vladimir putin dying along. alone.d the canadian prime minister with his hand extended a he said, "i guess i will shake your hand, but i have one thing to tell you. get out of ukraine." littleend up leaving a early although his reasons had to do more with biology than diplomacy. this is what he had to say. >> it takes nine hours to fly from here and nine more hours to moscow. on monday, have to be in the office. hours ofintreau-5 sleep -- i need 4-5 hours of sleep and i went up to tony abbott and i think our work is done and successfully. >> no one is reading too much into his early departure. to be fair, president obama of the united states left only a couple of hours after president putin, francine. leaders -- that would explain why he had to leave early. the leaders agreed on a growth target of 2.1% by 2018. very ambitious, is it achievable? a gulf betweenys words and deeds and these type of summits. growth bytage points 2018. the imf and oac will be reviewing the progress and the

tony abbott stuck to his rom promise that the official communique would be 3 pages long. some feel what is in the document will be difficult to implement. >> it's not exactly an actionable document. if you stuff everything into three pages, you inevitably say everything in genrality. >> reporter: geopolitics entered the conversation and overshadowed it at times. russia's actions in ukraine was condemned. >> as a consequence we'll continue to maintain the economic isolation while maintaining the possibility of a diplomats uk toll use. >> it is not our preference to see russia isolated like it is. >> reporter: the much anticipated confrontation between tony abbott and vladimir putin did not happen. >> translation: the ukrainian situation, in my view, has a good chance of a resolution is no matter how strange it sounds. sanctions hurt those they are imposed on, and those that imimpose them. later, each leader departed, each with a challenge a selling the idea to their domestic audiences >>> rebel controlled areas in eastern ukraine have been hard hit by the government and pr

he was confronted by tony abbott, which demanded an apology. barack obama did not have a great day either. he turned down the limo service that other world leaders use. he arrived in his american caravan. he was spotted chewing gum almost certainly nicorette. some chinese considered these acts disrespectful. when president obama was perfectly capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time. i guess that is funny in retrospect. who had the worst day? >> vladimir putin could not give a fig about what people say about them. the biggest problem for the president on this trip china -- the chinese are not respecting him very much. social media, even before the trip, laid out the president's political defeats in a way that was not positive. in general, the president is not being treated like the leader of the free world. >> it is a big problem for both. the relationship between russia and the u.s. is still pretty bad. some discussion about an iranian nuclear deal. the relationship is bad. nothing has happened to make it look like it will get any b

even tony abbott in his opening address talked of the difficulties he has had in getting some of hisudget measures through a divided senate. let's not forget that budget was presented way back. if that is the australian experience, let's not even talk about the challenges faced by the other 19 countries involved in this forum. at least they met and agreed to do something. here is what the u.s. president barack obama had to say about the growth and jobs challenge. >> here in brisbane, all the g-20 countries announced strategies to get growth and put people back to work, including a new initiative to support jobs by building infrastructure. our nations made commitments that could bring another 100 million women into our workforce. we took steps towards strengthening our banks, closing tax loopholes for multinational companies, and stopping cap -- tax evaders from hiding behind shell companies. >> barack obama also managed to successfully put climate change on the agenda for the g-20. yes trillion government had previously been reluctant to have it discussed here. the u.s. president gav

the australian prime minister tony abbott says global growth will be top of the agenda, but tensionser ukraine and the issue of sanctions are expected to loom large, too. now, we can take you live to pictures from brisbane, where we can see the official chinese plane, which has landed, currently sitting on the runway, and we do expect that door to open very soon. so we'll just stay with it for a moment, see if president xi jinping is beginning to emerge. i almost wish that that official there could hear me, because then he'd realize he better get on with it and open the door. but let's just stay and see whether we can get a glimpse of the chinese leader. yeah, i think we're going to have to leave it for now. we, of course, will go back to brisbane for developments at the g20 later. but for now, we have this report from our man jon donnison, who has been assessing the mood in brisbane. >> reporter: the world's big wigs in brisbane for the g20 down under. obama, merkel, and a somewhat pasty-looking david cameron are among the cast dressed up as aussie lifeguards. one big head conspicuo

but if tony abbott was stunned president vladimir putin was isolated all but ignored by other world leaders at lunch. rush's actions in ukraine loom large in brisbane. the handshake between host and guest was more firm than friendly. few people will protest against putin on the streets of brisbane, but there were marchs calling for action on climate change and the higher taxes on banks. the g-20 talks could effect others like sÁnchez. he left spain three years ago when spain's economy went backwards. he has been working on the road tunnel. >> to be able to say, well, i cooperated in doing some of this, it is really very rewarding for us. >> the economic activity that the tunnel will help generate should help repay its cost many times over. this is a source of scheme they want to see more of, the aim is to increase the global economic growth by 2% more than is currently projected over the next five years and pushing big infrastructure schemes is one way they think they can achieve it. australia asked each g-20 member to bring their own solid proposals for growth to brisbane. >> yes, our worl

three sides are, tony abbott said right from the get go, that these should be short and to the point. he wants it to be all about economics. all about growth. this commitment from the g-20 countries to increase the overall gdp of the world by 2 percentage points more than it would be in five years. as you say that could create 200 million jobs. here are the outline proposals how to do that. of course it will be up to domestic politicians in domestic countries to get their own initiatives to. it's okay to agree to this commitment here but to go back and get it instituted locally is much, much harder. but if these policies are put in place, very interesting. what was in this communique that wasn't anticipated, a whole paragraph on climate change. they didn't believe climate change should form part of the talks. but it's in there, very important. ebola, how to deal with the outbreak in west africa, and the bulk is about global growth, things like infrastructure, countries organize their tax so big company can't get away with paying nax low tax countries -- tax in low tax countries, that

according to an australian newspaper, john kerry asked the prime minister tony abbott not to work with the aiib. but the world has yet to see what he will do. >> with ewould like to join, but it's got to be a multi-lateral institution with the kind of transparency and the kind of governance arrangements that the world bank has. >> reporter: the u.s. and japan are worried about china using its bountiful financial resources in asia. tomoki matsuda, nhk world. >>> people in japan have been seeing imports outweigh exports, still, the measure of trade and investment is in the black. >> japan has been racking up trade deficits for 27 months, but overseas investments, actually, they've been doing really well and that's helped push the current account into the black for a third month in a row. ministry officials say the current surplus is $8.4 billion. that's despite a trade deficit of $6.2 billion. strong overseas sales of cars and steel pushed up exports by 11.6% in yen terms from a year ago. increases in purchases of liquefied natural gas and communications equipment boosted imports by 10.4

australia's prime minister tony abbott reacted. >> one of the points that i tried to make to president is that russia would be so much more attractive if it was aspiring to be a superpower for peace and freedom and prosperity, if it was trying to be a superpower for ideas and values rather than recreate the lost glorious of czarism or the old soviet union. >> provocations by putin have dominated headlines this week. nato commanders confirm tanks began rolling across the russian border. russia, as it has before, continues to vehemently deny it's equipment and some of its troops are in ukraine. >> i am telling you very frankly and officially as well there are no military forces or any military movement across the border, and more over there is no presence of our troops in the territory of ukraine in its southeast. there has never been and there isn't. >> and so there is technically a cease-fire in affect. theffect. the stories in donetsk tell a different story. >> we were inside when the shell hit the house. everything went black, and all of the windows were shattered. >> they said wedne

tony abbott said that he would discuss the downing of the asian airliner with president putin. their leaders will have a private meeting on wednesday plotting out the relationship for the next few years. >> over the next five years nearly laugh of all economic growth outside of the united states is projected to come from right here in asia. that makes this region an incredible opportunity for creating jobs and economic growth in the united states. and any serious leader in america, whether in politics or in commerce recognizes that fact. >> as they pose for the first of two family photos a rare look at some of the world's superpowers together all on one stage. the venue allows them to meet face to face. but many feel it's too big of an event to achieve anything significant in the name of asia pacific cooperation. >> well still ahead on al jazeera, why non-governmental organizations say they're being targeted by i didn't want ace government. and why u.n. peace keepers from thare pulling out from liberia. >> welcome back. let's recap the headlines here in al jazeera. at least 47

tony abbott says that it is the most comprehensive that beijing has struck with any country. chinese president xi jinping witnessed the signing while on a state visit to australia following the g20 summit. he also made a rare address to parliament. the deal, which follows nearly ten years of negotiations, will gradually open up markets worth a potential $18 billion to australia and will loosen restrictions on chinese investments. while the negotiations to achieve this deal had stalled last year before 11th hour talks, in short, the pact could be signed during president xi jinping's current state visit. >> translator: both prime minister abbott and i share a view that at this new starting point, the two sides need to seize the opportunities and work together to bring our volatile relationship to a new level, to underscore the high level and strategic and comprehensive nature of the bilateral relationship, we have decided to upgrade our strategic partnership to a comprehensive strategic partnership, thus charting the course for the future growth of our relationship. as a chines

unable to stop them from coming, tony abbott said he would aggressively confront putin when he got the russia has responded by moving its navy into the sea around australia. >> i think there's a heavy responsible on russia to come clean and return. >> reporter: -- >>> >> right now there is the opportunity to put pressure on russia to behave more responsibleably as a global citizen. >> reporter: the countries represented make up 85% of the world's gross domestic product. australia's go wants the agenda to be on how to increase world growth, encouraging infrastructure development, freer trade, and preventing big companies from shunting profits around the world to avoid tax will all be themes. >> there will be no single issue that will disinstruct leaders or anyone else from the task of delivering on growth and jobs. >> reporter: but other issues will come up. many are disappointed that australia has said climate change will not feature in official talks. both following the agreement between u.s. and china to cut greenhouse emissions, it will inevitably come up. australia's government is

if tony abbott was stunned, president vladimir putin was isolated. the obligatory handshake between host and guest was more firm than friendly. key people were protesting against putin, but there were marchs calling for action on climate change and higher tax. but it will be the economic growth that will dominate the g-20 talks. 2 could include sÁnchez who left his home of spain. he has been working on a brisbane road tunnel. >> after lee or four years of very hard work. to be able to drive my family into the tunnel and say i incorporated some of this, this is very rewarding for us. >> the economic activity that the tunnel will help generate should help pay its cost many times over. this is the sort of scheme they want to see more of. the aim is to increase economic growth over the next five years and push big infrastructure schemes is one way they think they can achieve it. australia asked each g-20 member to bring their own plans for growth to brisbane. >> yes, our world can grow. yes, our world can deliver the jobs that our people want. this confe
