germany's economy minister. could possibly take countermeasures and answer to america's sanctions bill the restrictions are aimed at punishing companies with ties to russia's energy sector this is. a major joint project the north stream two gas pipeline. yes it is bad that the us has left the common line it's had with europe for sanctions against russia there is a possibility of counter sanctions against the guinness we've heard from the german minister of economy in energy there. but she's not alone in those that have been critical of the latest round of sanctions that's been proposed by the united states we've also heard from the austrian chancellor christine care he posted online

saying that these were unacceptable he said that politics and a business should not be mixing when it comes to making decisions like this such as putting sanctions in place on another country we've also heard from unions as well who are concerned about potential impact on their members that work within the energy sector there's been a meeting a conference taking place from the german committee of e.u. economic relations there and they've described the sanctions as they're written right now as unacceptable and fact the managing director of that organization which is an organization which resists with represents german and business interests throughout eastern europe spoke to r.t. he had this to say that impact of do you plan sanctions notice a very negative form. especially for the energy sector because of the sanctions under the threat of sanctions especially energy pipeline exports from russia over

in the united states we understand that serious players serious big multinational corporations were lobbying representatives before they went into vote to try and convince them not to support this bill that didn't work but the names on the list include of course energy giant such as be in exxon mobil but also other big multinationals searches ford and boeing as well so i think it stands we're still going to have to wait to see what the ultimate reaction will be from the european union if the. sanctions go ahead as planned could the nuclear option be triggered which would be the e.u. placing economic sanctions on the u.s. business it's certainly an option it's still on the table if you take what the german economy minister an energy minister had to say earlier on on thursday we're keeping an eye on this of course however u.s. sanctions are not always very effective i mean let's take north korea for instance south korea's central bank estimates that last year its neighbors economy grew by

almost four percent off the bouncing back from a downturn in twenty fifteen gangs also boosted its exports and of course continues to develop its nuclear capabilities and it's not just north korea that seen a degree of economic success in spite of u.s. sanctions either iran has been forced to diversify to diversify its economy and find new trading partners as a way of coping with the measures kalam open explains more on that. the new sanctions targeting russia north korea and iran are not exactly a big here in europe the head of the e.u. commission decided to give the world a piece of his mind the u.s. bill could have unintended unilateral effects the impact that you use energy security interests america first kind of mean that europe's interests come last yes everybody has their own agenda and right now the usa is having a hard time getting everyone else to play ball take a look at north korea right now their economy is booming the best it's been in

seventeen years at least that's according to estimates from the south korean central bank right now their g.d.p. their imports and their exports are rising despite international sanctions now donald trump decided a long time ago who he thinks is to blame for that. trade between china and north korea grew almost forty percent in the first quarter so much for china working with us but we had to give it a try and iran is a similar story even before the nuclear related sanctions were lifted under the iran deal india and china were buying their oil in your imports one hundred ten million tons of crude per year we would not decrease imports from iran iran is an important country for india despite u.s. and european sanctions on iran. china will import crude oil from iran based on demand and will not be influenced by the edicts of any country can america impose sanctions on other countries outside of the us the answer can always be

no because the post world war two author of a us dollar germany right out of washington d.c. the so-called washington consensus is disintegrating it's falling apart and that the u.s. doesn't seem to want to take on reality they want to live in the past or they want to believe that they're the policeman of the world and they're going to impose sanctions they're just pushing germany into the arms of russia and then you've got an enormous axis of power you know in two and germany russia and china and they're going to get out of the u.s. dollar how's that going to help the american economy if the u.s. dollar loses its position as world reserve currency us leaders love capitalism in economic freedom but in the twenty first century global economy just because u.s. leaders don't want to trade with somebody doesn't mean that everybody else has to follow their lead cable mop and r t new york.

certain times in which they had permission by me to access some of my dates among the family patrons was debbie wasserman schultz including when she was still democratic national committee chair she gave him wrong a one direct access to her i pad which contain e-mails which infamously appeared in the d.n.c. leak schultz also reacted badly when capitol police attempted to search one of her laptops it's a member loses the equipment is free and it is found by the. police or your staff and it is identified as that number of members of that meeting it is supposed to give a turn yes or no depends on the circumstances under my understanding the capitol police is not able to confiscate members equipment when the member is not under investigation i think you're violating the rules when you conduct your business that way. interesting that there would be consequences surely that warrants a bit of attention however the story never made it to the headlines of any major outlets in theory this story should be huge it's got all the right ingredients politics hacks sensitive data leaks and even blackmailing but of course it's

nothing one very popular trend a finger pointing at the kremlin. r.t. washington d.c. . from the us middle east alliance says the way stories like this are reported show the mainstream media in the us has hit rock bottom mainstream media are in cahoots with the d.n.c. you know they have just turned a blind eye it just seems that that means you media is intent on doing the bidding of the democratic national committee i'd never thought that that journalism in this country did reach such a low as to be so you know unfair in their analysis to be so politically motivated in the way that they cover they cover cases there's so many questions so i hope it doesn't go away and i think it's important for the non-mainstream media to kid to beat this drum so that it gets the coverage it

deserves and that concert there are consequences for any illegal activities that may have taken place. a man was killed in venezuela on wednesday during the first day of a national strike calls by the country's opposition the protest comes in response to president duros decision to form a body which will redraw off the crisis ridden country's constitution. and.

artie's been speaking exclusively with the venezuelan president he told us that the opposition there has been attempting to undermine the socialist government for years. i think the opposition has been doing this for eighteen years first against hugo chavez and for the past four years against me there's no other way to resolve conflicts in the country than through democracy and elections in may for three and a half weeks i tried to establish direct dialogue with the opposition i wanted to include them in parliament but they refused it's a period of political isolation they drifted into right wing radicalism they were imprisoned by a strategy of violence and ignoring those who voted for them. but i've been as waylays ready for any scenario i think is insane for the extreme right in the us to be talking of a blockade against venezuela in fact they've already started in direct blockade

against our financial system this was the cause the crisis over the past three years that we have economic strength in venezuela always pays what it owes and fulfills its responsibilities in two thousand and seventeen two thousand and eighteen and two thousand and nineteen our country will continue to feel them. a new study claims that many german media outlets are failing to pay attention to the public's concerns over the ongoing migrant crisis while consistently putting a positive spin on the influx it found that coverage has overwhelmingly ignored many of the problems caused by a such a high number arriving in a relatively short space of time up until late autumn twenty fifteen hardly any editorials dealt with the concerns fears and also resistance of a growing part of the population. the report also reveals that on average news sources carried seventeen articles a day on the migrant crisis during the summer of twenty fifteen many promoting the success stories of those who came and settle it also states the dissenting voices

were excluded from the discussion echoing the message from the authorities. it's come to offer and it's important for us not to follow those who would have called in us a hatred in the heart sick to exclude others while claiming german their identity for themselves a considerable part of the population believes that journalism is apparently forced to manipulate information separately a recent poll in germany has shown that over half of germans feel that their lied to by their media and around a quarter say they believe the government works with the press to manipulate public opinion political scientist venipuncture also told us that he believes biased reporting is eroding many germans faith in traditional news outlets. germans usually trust the media and fear for it was quite an exception that they felt that there was a split between what they were observing and what the read in the newspaper during

his month or so great influx of immigrants the media said well we have an educational function we really have to show the germans there things are different than both think but actually the media. carrying their point too far and this came as a deception for many germans and we could measure in the polls at the clyde in trust to the media is a reaction on the side of the media journalists started to apologize for having not properly fulfilled their professional duty is during this migration crisis the issue of police brutality in the u.s. is being catapulted back into the media spotlight after footage has been released showing officers shooting a man forty five times more on that for you after the break.

it's called the feeling of freedom. everyone in the world should experience freedom and you'll get it on the old rolls. the old according to a gesture. welcome to my world come along for the ride. if we take for instance the size large enough to destroy a city say forty meters or so of the million or so asteroids out there oh we have discovered perhaps a percent or so of that ten thousand of them perhaps so in other words i means that ninety nine percent of them are undiscovered so you should expect that the great majority of asteroids are very close to the earth to come as a surprise for. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the navy seals exactly just full on awesome well the only show i go out of my way to launch you know

a lot of the really packs a punch at least yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than blue the things that i see people you've never heard of love redacted tonight president of the world bank so take your time to let me seriously you send us an e-mail.

about your sudden passing i phone we just learned you were yourself and taken your last turn. as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. so i write these last rites in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each other. but then my feelings started to change you talked about more like it was again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arcade and i secretly promised to never be like it's one does not need a funeral in the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with this reply to. speak to you because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its make.

new dot com video footage has been released showing police shooting a man forty five times in america's atlantic city and twenty fourteen the killing took place following a car chase through four cities after the man refused to be searched by offices a warning that you might find the following images that we're about to show you upsetting. that. the police officer is seen firing as soon as the man it was armed and high on the drug p.c.p. got out of his vehicle we can show you all of the images but the officers continue shooting long after the man stopped posing a threat we discussed what happened with

a peace activist he told us that the police can always find a way of justifying heavy handedness. actually the police in america are trained to shoot at the body mass to shoot at the to shoot for the vital organs and not to shoot in the legs there's always an excuse for using deadly force but let's be honest these kinds of excesses will continue to happen as long as we have persons who are teaching the police to be brutal and violent instead of training to treat american citizens as if we are people not combatants officers in the us are regularly accused of employing brutal policing tactics is a back and some of the of high profile incidents from recent years. all right. no you have to stay right here.

we have this many police shootings nationally it is irrational that america calls itself a human rights leader when the very basis of this country has been this systematic violation of human rights but it seems as if there's a conspiracy by the police to not shoot and if necessary kill violent dangerous. people criminals in our society and they kill people who are not dangerous. but look ahead to a program next here on the worlds apart his about the possible deployment of u.n. peacekeepers to syria the man who make the decision talks works on the boy who. there has to be a peace agreement before there can be deployment of peacekeepers and you know the special representative of the secretary general mr stuff understood keeps on trying

to bring the parties together in collaboration of course. the permanent members of the security council. notably the russian federation in united states i was quite encouraged personally i'll go i don't deal with this matter that it be but i was personally encouraged to read the limited cease fire agreement which was decided in the meeting between complexity and to prevent rather new put them and present. and i think there are some good sites we hope for the best over the last few years we have been changing to what we call in program critical of the assessment so at every point of time the security of being assessed not by van the u.n. staff should leave but by what that eadmund should be made for them to be able to be present them to deliver their progress. well to pot as here in just over the next complex and technical boardgame that
