seen on trump's face and many many months when he sees vladimir putin. it's just amazing to watch. >> you don't see trump smiling very often in office, do you? well, we are ready for questions from the audience. we have a microphone. just raise your hand and we will put the microphone and it. >> thank you for an interesting presentation. we see so much information about corruption among leaders, not just here, in other countries with populist leaders and reading all the details about corrupt activity and yet nothing happens, so i start to wonder, do people really care? the theory is if you have transparency, that you force accountability, but we see document after document after front of people and yet the balance of power. there aren't any revolution caused by all of this information. what's your sense on that chimeric. >> i think there's a fundamental shift in at least the way our country evaluates information brought to us weather comes from us and news organizations or other sources. you know, sort of trump most potent symbol, i think, of a broader p

announcer: vladimir putin! think votes being found in ballot boxes before the polls have even opened, or cctv cameras in polling stations being conveniently covered up. hey, we were watching that! recently, the main opposition leader, alexei navalny, has found himself in and out ofjail after being arrested for stuff he says has just been made up to stop him doing hisjob. so, a lot of the rules here are unwritten and quite subtle. so, the government would say people have freedom of speech, but at the same time, if you're seen chatting to someone like the bbc in certain parts of the country, you might find yourself — coincidentally, of course — getting a visit from the police later on. despite this, we've come to chat to some people who've told us they're not afraid to speak to us. to be completely honest, i think there is a distinction between being afraid and being free. i can't say that i'm afraid because i never was challenged by something to be afraid of, if that makes sense. but i can't say that i'm fre

we had vladimir putin there. he wasn't quite licking his lips, but he may as well have been doing so. whatever the president says, it does seem to play for russia. this is a win for them. they have already been winning in syria and this is another chapter of it. they are feeling good. iran have also had a pretty good day. the syrian over mid—has had a good day. it has been terrible for the kurds we have been working there. it is also good for turkey. it is really unsettling for a american allies. it doesn't take place in a vacuum. this is an administration that is pulled the us out of agreements, it has picked fights with what were our closest allies in europe. how do you know the united states won't suddenly decide that we really don't need those 28,000 american troops there? why would the taliban believe that they have two negotiate in good faith. it is only a matter of time before the us leaves there as well. a lot of countries are going to start appeasing some of their powerful neighbours. in places like th

vladimir putin. the fact that this is so publicly announced, and she may go back to russia, the russians are not going to be happy about this if she gives valuable information. if she has valuable information. so i'm curious to see if in the end she does go back to russia or if she asks to stay here. and let's not forget, even if she stays here, if she has given away something or gives away something valuable, the russians have a way of hunting down people who doublecross them. look at the skripals who were poisoned in the uk. i think we should wait and see what the next step is after this. >> and let's -- >> yeah, go ahead. >> and let's be clear. she may very well not have valuable information, going back through the years from the sake of a plausible deniability at the very least. vladimir putin, i never want to say i'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt, but he could very well have not known about her time here in the united states. obviously now she's become an international figure and so

right president vladimir putin and marie c.e.o. mockery there wrapping up their conversation in that. press conference president putin congratulated me on hosting the global event with positive results he also talked about bilateral bilateral cooperation is signed a number of agreements for commercial contracts which include adam contract to assist in developing a nuclear power plant he actually said that twenty percent of the power in argentina is developed and created with russian equipment and that includes six power plants it looks like there will be more to come in the future also talked about a cooperation with railroads in having russia help build about a seven hundred kilometer railroad line in the country also talked about other transport infrastructure projects that would be sponsored by a gas problem that would help. increase bilateral trade between the two countries gave a shout out to our sister channel our two spanish saying that there will be cooperation until twenty twenty two basically saying that that was a good s

and that quick conversation that actually happened vladimir putin began by saying that he doesn't think mr trump is afraid of contacts with them and here's what else he said. used to support the scottish post which is that it was actually sinister to. you and. we counseled that meeting in paris because we didn't want to interfere with the. schedule of events related to world war one so we decided to meet in going to sars instead but unfortunately we. encountered with this provocation in the black sea so there's so i guess it's close because of. the united states decided not to have this meeting still we. shouldn't you know people talk to each other so i got a chance to talk weird briefly to president trump i am certain he's questions related to this incident in the black sea he has his positions on these issues and problems i have my position so. we remain committed to our positions soon but. i let him know what we think about this incident it's shamed and we are on the able to have a full fledged meeting. because i think it's a long overdue so i hope that this meeting will happen soone

donald trump following doubts of a meeting with vladimir putin doesn't seem like a big deal given the already poor state of affairs between the two countries to 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. who should. we call chancellor merkel runs. germany and russia. but. let's start back in france where central park us was brought to a standstill on saturday by the so-called yellow vest the movement against soaring fuel prices it was the most violent of three successive weekends of unrest and riot police riot in for some incredible numbers associated with this four hundred twelve people arrested one hundred thirty three injured including their correspondent peter all over he was hit by a rubber bullet here's what he witnessed throughout the day. 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 minute call actually is

>> reporter: well, on the face of it, vladimir putin says no. he says, look, for him drugs are the big issue. he said -- he said he believes that people rap also, as far as the sex issue is concerned, a lot of their body parts is not something he wants to necessarily hear, but it's not necessarily something he says that he wants to restrict. but, of course, here in russia there is a track record of trying to rein in protests and trying to stop at least public protests. certainly there are a lot of people, husky probably being one of them, this rapper, who believes that the protest part of it is the actual real problem. and if you look at some other popular culture acts like, for instance, the band of pussy riot who have very much been restricted, members are in jail, they accuse the russian government of poisoning a band member. they deny they have. there have been a problem with bands in the past that have lyrics contradictory to some of the things the state wants to hear here. it is a delicate issue and you can tell vladimir putin knows it's a

vladimir putin said that yes he said hello to each other at the g twenty summit in scene but with regards to relations between the two countries britain is traditionally one of russia's fiercest critics in the european union in in europe itself and relations are at a dead then and getting worse he says russia is interested in improving with relations with the united kingdom he says that there are economic ties big british companies operating in russia british petroleum b.p. for example but relations for now a dead then presumably not a lot of desire to improve relations on the other side is for brics itself and how it will affect russia well not so much believes vladimir putin but it will have a knock on effect so it will affect other countries in the european union it will face. affect other countries in asia in the americas and eventually the waves of consequences will reach russia and that good for anyone but he says brakes it is a british affair and that it is up to the british and to raise a major to solve it. that was one of the main topics be in the same. there are fourteen q. and

bush but then finally vladimir putin found the time to talk to the price and obviously the first question that was asked was about his relations with mr trump and that quick conversation that actually happens lattimer putin began by saying that he doesn't think mr trump is afraid of contacts with them and here's what else he said . here's the surface of the festival it was a u.s. initiative and then we council meeting in paris because we didn't want to win city in the shadow from one commemorations so we decided to meet and going to serious but then the provocation in the black sea took place this is us decided not to have to meet soon we still have the chance to chat with president trump on this issue we expressed some positions and remain committed to the islets no we think of the incident is a shame that we are unable to have this this meeting. but i hope it will take place sooner or later when the u.s. is ready for it like this quick exchange between mr trump and mr putin we know that there were full proper meetings between the german chancellor and the russian president and also the

he is reaching out to vladimir putin. i'm joined right now by the man who socialist venezuela owes a whole lot of money to. the man running the effort to recoup the socialist country's debt. adam johnson. good to see you both. what is it going to take for venezuela to get back on its feet? does maduro need to go? do you need to get market capitalism injected back into this economy? >> yes. what's really terrible about this is in the past the venezuelans have been the most of pro american country in all of south america. it's true, the creeping social i'm that came from the 70s and the 80s. and the fact that the u.s. isn't paying attention to it allowed this regime to come in and destroy the economy. the only way out is for them to return to a mark heat based economy and doing business with the united states. trish: they are look at doing business with vladimir putin. i would say this is a major security concern. we are talking about them having an interest and launch pad the likes of which they haven't had since 1962. >>

vladimir putin does not want to be part of the west. he does not want a democratic russia, so you're limited in what you can do there. the second thing that i think is important for leaders today is that president bush always knew he was the leader of the free world. he always thought of himself in terms of being one of many of the liberal world, you know, the coalition of democratic states. that was with respect to the solve yes union. i wish our president would think more about that, the importance of democratic ally when is you're trying to do things in the world. >> to your point, though, our current president while traveling to argentina canceled, he says, his meet with vladimir putin because of the military standoff between russia and ukraine. do you buy that explanation? >> no, of course not. i mean, russia had attacked ukraine, the president equivocated on that, by the way. he never once criticized vladimir putin directly, and as he got onto the plane, he said he was still going to meet with him. the news of mr. cohen came out a

bush but then finally vladimir putin found the time to talk to the price and obviously the first question that was asked was about his relations with mr trump and that quick conversation that actually happens lattimer putin began by saying that he doesn't think mr trump is afraid of contacts with them and here's what else he said in the future for the scottish first of all it was a u.s. initiative and then we council meeting in paris because we didn't want to interfere in the shenzhou from one commemorations so we decided to meet and going to serious but then the provocation in the black sea took place so the us decided not to have to meet we still have the chance to chat with president trump on this issue we expressed our positions and remain committed to the islets no we think of the incident is a shame that we are unable to have this this meeting. but i hope it will take place sooner or later when the u.s. is ready for it a like this quick exchange between mr trump and mr putin we know that there were full proper meetings between the german chancellor and the russian president and also

what our president has said about his bff -- that's vladimir putin. here it is. >> putin called me brill yants. i like it. so now i like putin. now, putin called me a genius by the way. he said donald trump is a genius, and he's the absolute leader over there, and he's the smartest person. i think putin's been a very strong leader for russia. he's been a lot stronger than our leader, that i can tell you. wouldn't it be great if we actually got along with russia? wouldn't it be great? is there anything wrong with that? putin's fine. he's fine. we're all fine. we're people. i got along great with putin, and everybody said, wow, that was great. >> so president trump has the perfect opportunity to call them both to account at the g20 face to face. he could. but he seems to be doing everything he can to avoid that. he canceled his planned meeting with putin before air force one even landed in argentina, claiming it was because of russia's actions in ukraine. >> we're not happy about it. nobody is. hopefully they'll be able to settle it out soon because we

putin have a listen to shows the u.s. is now leaving the iron if treaty was going to happen it's hard to imagine what is the rockets are located in europe what should we do which is of course we will have to ensure our security with some concrete steps not say later that we are trying to get an advantage we're not trying to get an advantage but merely to seek your balance to ensure our security and this really applies not just. to this particular message or as a matter of fact to any other for weapons unveiled by the russian president in march this is about the russian military as a whole because the country has been pushing forward its military capability all year it has been sort of the flavor of the twenty teens so to speak but it hasn't been in the offensive sort of way russia has been maintaining that it is a measure of deterrence and not of aggression. we discussed the new weapons implications for global security with a number of experts. well i think the u.s. is also working on these types of thanks in the first on

comparing the crown prince of saudi arabia to a strong man like vladimir putin in russia as he had done probably was not going to have made him a target for an assassination attempt, but we have clues that might well answer part of that piece of the puzzle. wolf? >> these are words you won't have read. they are never seen before seen the year before his death. they lay bear his disdain for the crown prince, saying he is like a beast, like pacman. the more victims he eats, the more he wants. in another, my god ridpredicame. the words were exchanged with a fellow critic in exile in canada. >> he believed that mbs is the issue. he's the problem. someone has to tell him that you have to be stopped. >> talk like this is dangerous for those from a country with one of the world's worst records for human rights. it wasn't just political views they were trading, but plans to hold the saudi state to account, creating an army of cyber bees on social media. leveraging jamal khashoggi's name and the 340,000 strong twitter following. >> in the beginning, it was difficult for us to have this relations

it's vladimir putin, it's rec i erdogan. and those who tell me trump has never been -- he just handed the greatest gift to iran. they will now dominate all the way to the becca valley and israel's northern borders. those who say what a terrific friend of israel trump has been, he has just handed a gift to israel's enemy, to the enemies of every single american ally in the united states. it's an inexplicable decision, unless you believe that someone is handing trump his marching orders when it comes to the middle east. >> let me just make a note, i invite jared kushner, who of course is in charge of middle east peace in this administration to come on this show any day and explain this one to us. eddie, what is your take a this? there's lots of people not focused on syria or the middle east, but they're saying it's not the united states' job to police the world. >> i think there would be some who will support him in this instant as well. they will be concerned about america appearing weak, but for all things that have happened

solution russia's president vladimir putin has now chimed in and take an interest in the concert cancellations at a meeting of cultural advisors he said rap music should be controlled instead of banned aware perhaps of how popular rap music is in russia houston knew was more yes it is impossible to stop loss of life than we must lead it and directed properly probably but how to do it depends on us that. i. ordered his officials to explain the cancellations that may put a chill on russia's morality police but what it won't do is remove the reasons why the music was made in the first place. all right said it is going to see the games are in the books let's take a look at the results so far on match day fifteen don't mend defeated brevan in the late games stood god say it had to have been by in munich all that had of a disallowed all took down freiburg and often i'm versus god. sent. drew with shelford one on friday night while spoke bills. of brick and on sunday life's each meets minds frank fish will face. canadian freestyle skier. pretty forceful food poisoning as he won he's sick and moguls c

vladimir putin is lending you money and allegedly purchased five oil fields in venezuela. why should any american want to be doing business with a country so close to russia? trish: excellent cooperation with russia. with venezuela working hands in hand with the russians. it's clear put rrms imperialistic ambitions are getting closer to our shore. and that is a problem. joining me, robert mcinnis. we have not had enemies so close to us with a presence so near our shores since the bay of pigs in 19672. have we even -- since 1962. have we entered a new cold war? >> president trump is not happy with us being in georgia and the ukraine. he's on the high seas. he ramped up his atlantic operations with submarines and the like. in fact on wednesday of this week, trish, he demonstrated to the world a hypersonic ballistic missile capability that's very high-tech. if he were to replicate what he did in 1962 in cuba and threaten the united states, if he did that in venezuela in the place you indicate, it's quite whose that he could threaten us -- it's quite possible he could threaten

one man behind it, vladimir putin. the parallels between the russian intervention in brexit and the russian intervention in the trump campaign appear to be extraordinary. widespread protests are tearing up paris. without a shred of evidence, president trump blamed the anti-tax protests on the paris climate accord. not even a little bit. but there is evidence that russia's fanning the flames here as well with france investigating hundreds of pro-russian media accounts. they offered this statement with a straight face. we have not interfered, and we don't plan to interveer in the nestic affairs of any country, including france. s that your reality check. >> john, your reference wowed us. >> that's wowing me. >> feel free to use that in a future reality check. >> thank you. >>> late night comics enjoy iin the scramble to fill the chief of staff job. >> i have good news if inch here wants to be president trump's chief of staff. just raise the hand and the job is yours. maybe? no. i'm sorry. president trump's chief of staff

vladimir putin, on the other hand, looked overjoyed to see him. high fives all around. theresa may had a sitdown with him where she rais the murder of the saudi journalist and demanded full transparency in the investigation. esident macron of france had a slightly tense exchange. donald trump had been due to sit down with vladimir putin, but the president canceled theme ing over the seizing of three ukrainian vessels. the russian leader stared ahead impassively as his american counterpart walked past.. presump: on the basis of what took place with respect to the shd the sailors, that was the soleeason. jon: but where the u.s. president still leaves other world leaders deeply uneasy is with his protectionist attitudes towards trade. today, the signing of a new trade agreement between mexico, the u.s., and canada. pres. trump: the usmca is the largest, most significant, modern, and balanced trade agreement in history. all of our couries will benefit greatly. it is probably the largest trade deal ever made also. jon: though it brought this broadside from the canadian prime

putin called it a big event for the armed forces and the country as a whole that's delve deeper into the story our correspondent joining us live here in the studio to tell us about the media reaction to this well this launch did certainly become a top news story all over the world those analytical pieces that have had a chance to come out there were more along the lines of why the united states should feel this missile and i should say it kind of does carry the. same messages that we've been that we've been seeing for months really because this evan god missile was one out of five vance two weapons unveiled by vladimir putin back this march and that's when the world just everybody went bonkers and everybody should feel scared even though it has been since the message of the russian government that it is purely defensive that these weapons they are meant to defend russia not to attack any other country obviously a very important launch certainly for the security of russia or and as i said by the russian president vladimir putin he was talking about this system back in march the first

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. i did go americal for breakfast and treated her with a traditional washing meal that featured caviar and. 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 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

donald trump following doubts of a meeting with vladimir putin doesn't seem like a big deal given the already polar state of affairs between the two countries plus the manner in which it was cancelled over twitter may sting the kremlin more than the cancellation itself is the mythical trump putin of romance finally over. who should start the game to discuss where we can. chancellor merkel runs has said we have a lot of riches between germany and europe and russia and too few stories which use is quite easy and really forced. to take a whole lot of. central park this was brought to a standstill on something made by a so-called yellow best movement against soaring fuel prices it was the most violent of three successive weekends of all the rest and riot police riot and force four hundred people plus were arrested scores injured including our correspondents spread all over and look at loser who were hit by rubber bullets which will peter witnessed right that. 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

and nobody knows what is going on in these conversations between the president and vladimir putin at the very same time when he is under investigation for his campaign's ties to russia during 2016. it's all very troubling. and the lack of transparency should worry everyone. >> charlie, how uncomfortable might that be? he's abroad and not seen as the most popular, shall we say. >> that's right. certainly european leaders are keeping their distance from him and rolling their eyes at him at the same time. on the other hand, the international stage is a very transactional one in which outlandish personalities like donald trump and others can give way to national interests. so they're going to have to deal with him and certainly in his meeting later today with the chinese president, whatever personalities differences and gravitas differences there may be, the south china sea military buildup, north korea and the tariff crisis will mean that they have to engage. >> quickly to you, natasha, when we watch these developments coming out of the ukraine, one has to ask does the president of russ

of course we know that this was a big part of the discussion between vladimir putin and i'm going to machall but the german chancellor was very matter of fact for you to her the important part was that what says what we just heard in that sound bite that the norm of the format will continue so that format that involves ukraine russia germany and france at a lower level not the leaders level but at the lower level still this year this is important because it keeps things going otherwise about the atmosphere in general at the g. twenty she said things aren't as easy as they used to be but there are still a lot of people who are on the same page as germany although wef is ahead of the summit that leaders may not even be able to agree on a final communique but i understand one is on the way what can you tell us about that. you know we just got confirmation from our sources that the g twenty communique has been approved by the leaders so that could be what you call a success in these times of war and a lot of those leaders aren't necessarily fans of the g twenty and of the multilateral tr

>> vladimir putin thinks he is seven feet tall. he meddles. he has meddled in the united states and elsewhere with elections in the past. it is unacceptable. there's a lot of friction between our two countries. vladimir putin may not be deterred through economic pressure. he may not be deterred on pushing back on russian aggression or further away like in the middle east. we're in a cyber security warfare between our two nations. there's a lot of conflict and i don't expect there to be one silver bullet that vladimir putin will decide that he no longer wants to put the ussr back together again. as we go form, now we have to negotiate a new nuclear arms treaty. it is important that we don't stop all diplomacy. you asked, would it be good if they got together? apparently there was an impromptu dinner. hopefully we can get more details as to what was discussed. it was putin who said that president trump expressed a different view than what putin has. one thing that would be very dangerous is to cut off all diplomatic relations. it neem-- >> are w

peskov is the right hand to vladimir putin. you go to him, it's like going to the white house chief of staff over here. they went to peskov and said can you help us with this project? so the russians know that trump is lying to the american people about his interactions with russia. also, there's another dimension to this. at this point in time, the beginning of 2016, the russians are into their plan to hack the dnc and perhaps try to affect the election. you have trump coming to them asking for help. it's basically signaling to the russians who are about to and in the process of attacking the american electoral system that i want to do business with you. this is collusion. he's talking secretly, privately, to the russians. it sends them a signal that i'm your guy as they're getting ready to attack the election, particular three attack hillary clinton. >> so help me reconcile something. i know a lot of people have pointed this out. we learned from michael cohen's plea that he had this communication with the russians. the presid

that's the -- that's who vladimir putin is. and so we're in a totally different world than we ever were before where there's a soviet politburo and united states government. you now have a criminal in charge of russia with an arsenal of nuclear weapons. >> do you have any sense two years into this administration that things are going to get better rather than worse in terms of this president's handling of russia and the idea that there's a new congress coming in, does that give you any new hope? >> i had been very hopeful up until today that whatever donald trump's love affair was with putin, it wasn't being exercised in policy. up until today, sanctions weren't being repealed. ukraine was being supported. and various other things. but all of a sudden, in one day, two things have happened. one is that the united states has given putin this syria gift. and the second is the -- the withdrawal of sanctions on oleg d deripaskas companies. that's troubling. >> bill browder is the ceo of heritage management capital. heritage manageme

really because this evan god missile was one out of five vance two weapons unveiled by vladimir putin back this march and that's when everybody went bonkers and everybody should feel scared even though it has been since the message of the russian government that it is purely defensive that these weapons they are meant to defend russia not to attack any other country obviously a very important launch certainly for the security of russia or and as i said by the russian president vladimir putin he was talking about this system back in march the first of this year but what exactly is well first i would like to stop as to why exactly this new inch is important it is important because it is the final test be food this missile goes into service and now let's just have a look let's enjoy how it unveiled. well as for what exactly happened god is well it's just one of the most advanced weapons and missiles in the world is a quick preview of what it's capable of really. so it's incredibly incredibly precise and also it is classified as sort of a glider missile what it means is that it doesn't go

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 pancake. 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 u.s. 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

certainly for the security of russia or and as i said by the russian president vladimir putin he was talking about this system back in march the first of this year but what exactly is well first i would like to stop as to why exactly this new inch is important it is important because it is the final test before this missile goes into service and now let's just have a look let's enjoy how it unveiled. as for what exactly happened god is well it's just one of the most advanced weapons and missiles in the world here's a quick preview of what it's capable of really. so it's incredibly it's incredibly precise and also it is classified as sort of a glider missile what it means is that it doesn't go beyond the earth's atmosphere it travels through it and this is what allows it to go really low and like a prone sort of thing and to maneuver very unpredictably that's why everybody is so concerned that's why even the united states is saying that it apparently doesn't have any means of intercepting it because of its unpredictability and maneuverability but as putin has been saying since day one

putin have a listen to shows the u.s. is now leaving the iron a treaty was going to happen it's hard to imagine what if the rockets are located in europe what should we do which is of course we will have to ensure our security with some concrete steps not say later that we are trying to get an advantage and we're not trying to get an advantage but merely to seek your balance to ensure our security and this really applies not just to. this particular missile or as a matter of fact to any other for weapons unveiled by the russian president in march this is about the russian military as a whole because the country has been pushing forward its military capability all year it has been sort of the flavor of the twenty teens so to speak but it hasn't been the offensive sort of way russia has been maintaining that it is a measure of deterrence and not of aggression. we discussed the new weapons implications for global security the number of access. but i think the u.s. is also working on these types of thanks and the first one to

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 him. go 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 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

bush but then finally vladimir putin found the time to talk to the price and obviously the first question that was asked was about his relations with mr trump and that quick conversation that actually happens lattimer putin began by saying that he doesn't think mr trump is afraid of contacts with them and here's what else he said . here's the support for this commission first of all it was a u.s. initiative because then we council meeting in paris because we didn't want to interfere in the shenzhou for one commemorations so we decided to meet and going to serious but then the provocation in the black sea took place the u.s. decided not to have to meet we still have the chance to chat with president trump on this issue we expressed our positions and remain committed to the islets no we think the incident is a shame that we are unable to have this this meeting. but i hope it will take place sooner or later when the u.s. is ready for it like this quick exchange between mr trump and mr putin we know that there were full proper meetings between the german chancellor and the russian president a
