<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n REUTERS: Western leaders confront Putin at G20 with threat of more sanctions. Western leaders warned Vladimir Putin at a G20 summit on Saturday that he risked more economic sanctions if he failed to end Russian backing for separatist rebels in Ukraine. Russia denied any involvement in an escalation of the separatist war in eastern Ukraine, where more than 4,000 people have been killed since April, but faced strong rebukes from leaders including U.S. President Barack Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. \u201cI guess I\u2019ll shake your hand but I have only one thing to say to you: you need to get out of Ukraine,\u201d Harper told Putin at the summit in Brisbane, Australia, according to his spokesman Jason MacDonald. http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/2014\/11\/15\/us-g20-summit-idUSKCN0IZ03C20141115<\/a><\/p>\n FORBES: IBM Signs $325 Million Supercomputing Deal With Dept.
