The way President Putin and Crown Prince Mohammed conducted themselves during their initial exchange at the summit has attracted considerable attention from the media, with the video of their greeting going viral.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman managed to steal the spotlight at the G20 summit in Buenos Aires as they merely exchanged a high-five during the event.
The cheerful manner with which the two men greeted each other has apparently caught the eye of quite a few reporters, with the video of the exchange quickly going viral.

A First Nation-run child welfare system would give children the best opportunities to succeed in life, according to the head of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN).
Chief Bobby Cameron welcomed news Friday that the federal government will develop a new child and family services model giving more autonomy to Indigenous communities.
"It's all a part of the governance and the jurisdiction where we bring into the equation the language and culture component,” Cameron said.
“This is what’s lacking in the provincial government system.”
Leaders from the FSIN will be involved in the federal consultation process, as it creates new legislation transitioning control over Indigenous children in care from the current provincial and territorial models.
The federal government is aiming to introduce the new legislation when the House of Commons resumes sitting in late January.
In the interim, FSIN vice-chief Heather Bear called for the Saskatchewan government to implement a moratorium on Indigenous child placement in the provincial foster care system without consent of, and consultation with First Nations.
WATCH BELOW: Feds to introduce legislation on Indigenous child services in 2019
“The harms are still happening and we need to stop it now,” Bear said.
During an Ottawa news conference, Canada’s Indigenous Services Minister Jane Philpott said children are taken from their parents daily under the guise of "neglect."
According to Philpott, the term is a euphemism for economic poverty, inadequate housing and unresolved health issues.
“This is our modern-day variation on the legacy of residential schools,” she said.
In a statement, Saskatchewan Social Services Minister Paul Merriman noted the province currently works with the Saskatoon Tribal Council, providing a “culturally appropriate continuum of family services.”
Provincial officials have met with the federal government, Indigenous agencies and local leaders to discuss the anticipated legislation, the statement said.
“We are supportive of the concepts being discussed at the table, and want to be involved in the development and implementation of legislation that will achieve better outcomes for Indigenous children and their families,” Merriman said.
Saskatchewan has agreements with 17 First Nations child and family services agency for delivering child welfare services on-reserve.
Three agreements allow the province to deliver child welfare services off-reserve.

'YOU'RE A LIAR': Indigenous people voice anger at Trudeau town hall

KAMLOOPS, B.C. — Indigenous people voiced their anger and frustration with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday at a chaotic town hall in Kamloops, B.C., loudly interrupting him to condemn the arrests of protesters at a pipeline blockade.
While Trudeau was answering a question on accountability for the oil and gas industry, a man who identified himself as Will George stood up and began to yell that the prime minister had lied about wanting reconciliation with First Nations.
“You’re getting people arrested,” George said. “You’re a liar and a weak leader. What do you tell your children?”
Trudeau calmly asked George, several times, to sit down and allow him to finish answering the question. After several minutes, the man apologized and sat down, to applause from the crowd.
RCMP arrested 14 people Monday at a pipeline blockade in northwestern B.C., sparking protests across the country. Demonstrators on both sides of the pipeline debate appeared at Trudeau’s events in Kamloops on Wednesday.
B.C. premier wants ‘peaceful resolution’ to pipeline impasse
Trudeau fielded a variety of questions at the town hall, but his fiery exchanges with Indigenous people dominated the event. When he called on a First Nations woman in the crowd, she asked him what he would do to stop oppressing her people.
“When are you going to give us our rights back?” she asked, to cheers and applause.
The prime minister replied that Canada has a “long and terrible history” with regards to First Nations, but his government is working toward reconciliation and met with Indigenous leaders to discuss self-governance on Tuesday.
“It will take time to improve (the relationship), but we are making significant progress,” he said.
“You are afraid to lose everything you benefit from our oppression and our suffering. You are afraid to lose your comfort,” the woman yelled.
“No, I’m not,” Trudeau replied. “I am ready to walk in partnership with you and building the future and that is what we’ve been doing … I understand the anger and the passion that you have about protecting your land.”
After a lengthy exchange in which the woman continued to press him on how he allowed the arrests to happen, Trudeau said it was possible the woman was “not listening” to him and he tried to move on. Members of the crowd continued to occasionally yell, with one crying out, “Shame on you!”
Later, a man who identified himself as Arnie Jack from the Shuswap Nation said Canada does not have a deed to its territory and has no right to build the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion through its lands.
Jack described the arrests in northern B.C. as a “national disgrace.”
“Do you have a deed to Shuswap territory? Have you brought one here tonight to impose your jurisdiction on us?” Jack asked.
“No, I did not,” Trudeau said, adding that having a “deed” is an old way of doing things and instead he wants to move forward in partnership with Indigenous Peoples.
Several audience members raised concerns about climate change, including a 65-year-old woman concerned about her grandson’s future. She said she had spoken with environmentalist David Suzuki, who was critical of the Liberal government’s handling of the climate.
“There is no question we’re in a time of difficult change,” Trudeau replied, but he added that his government is moving forward with a price on carbon and there are tremendous causes for optimism, and that’s where he disagrees with Suzuki.
“I’m just a little more optimistic than he is,” Trudeau said.
Speaking to supporters at an earlier Kamloops event, Trudeau touted the benefits of the $40-billion liquefied natural gas project at the centre of the impasse with First Nations.
In a campaign-style speech at the Liberal fundraiser, Trudeau did not address Monday’s arrests at a protest against construction of a natural gas pipeline by Coastal GasLink, which is a key part of the LNG Canada project. He instead heralded the massive project as one of his government’s top achievements.
“We moved forward on the LNG Canada project, which is the largest private sector investment in Canada’s history, $40 billion, which is going to produce Canadian LNG that will supplant coal in Asia as a power source and do much for the environment,” he said.
The RCMP enforced a B.C. Supreme Court injunction on Monday that ordered the removal of any obstructions to the pipeline project in and around the Morice River Bridge on a remote forest service road southwest of Houston.
The pipeline company says it has signed agreements with all First Nations along the route but demonstrators say Wet’suwet’en house chiefs, who are hereditary rather than elected, have not given their consent.
Trudeau also told Radio NL that “we’re going to have to do a better job” of dealing with First Nations rights and title.
“There’s still work to be done right across the country in terms of having the opportunity for Indigenous communities to strengthen their governance models,” he said.
Dozens of protesters on both sides of the debate gathered outside the hotel where the fundraiser was held.
Demonstrators wearing yellow vests carried signs that read “Carbon Tax Cash Grab” and “Trudeau for Treason” while taking part in a chant opposing a United Nations pact on migration signed by Canada. Conservative critics argue it threatens Canada’s sovereignty.
Keith LaRiviere, who is Cree and participated in the yellow-vest protest, said he knows some of the people involved in the pipeline blockade.
He said he supports their right to protest but he believes those building the pipeline also have the right to do their work.
“I go to sweat lodges with some of those people so I really know them intimately, and I do support their cause. I do support their right to their land. I don’t support the aggressive way they were forced out of their position,” said LaRiviere.
On the other side of the hotel parking lot, a group of Indigenous protesters opposed to the pipeline sang, drummed and held a banner reading “PM Trudeau: Canada needs climate action now.”

Statement on the situation in Wet’suwet’en First Nation

By General Synod Communications on January 11, 2019

View this statement as a PDF.
We as Indigenous and non-Indigenous Anglicans are writing to express our concern and distress about disturbing events in Wet’suwet’en land this past week. Specifically, we are concerned about the arrests at the Gitdimt’en checkpoint on Monday, January 7th, 2019. Our concern is threefold: 1) This action willfully ignores the right of the Wet’suwet’en People to free, prior, and informed consent as is their inherent right and as delineated throughout the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples 2) This action willfully ignores the authority of the traditional hereditary leadership of the Wet’suwet’en People, and 3) The use of this type of unnecessary and violent force to dismantle the checkpoint and arrest and incarcerate land defenders demonstrates a dedicated disregard for the fundamental principles of Indigenous Rights.
We thoughtfully and prayerfully support the traditional leaders and implore the forces of government and industry to join us in upholding the basic rights of Indigenous peoples, particularly in this situation, as expressed in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. To this end, we add government and industry leaders and workers to our prayers, praying not only for a change of heart and tactics but also for the well-being and safety of all involved and threatened by this disruption of the well-being of the Land. To all who seek a good outcome in this matter, we commend the Seven Traditional Teachings: humility, respect, trust, honesty, wisdom, courage, and love, as well as our call to keep in mind and heart the Seventh Generation not yet born.
We issue this statement of concern and call for prayer in the spirit of our church’s commitment to uphold the UN Declaration, to the continuing work of reconciliation as expressed in the ninety-four calls to action of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and to the shared hope of laying a foundation for a better future for all people in Canada. We are aware that the situation continues to evolve and we continue to pray for healing and reconciliation among those involved.
