this time in the nation with the world's largest known resources or fossil fuel bolivarian revolution revenge as well a former mayor of london ken livingstone to negotiate a deal with former foreign minister now president of venezuela naked duro to provide cheap venezuelan fuel for london's buses said mistakes were made on the chavez let alone the fact that killing some u.s. backed all agog could have prevented the current crisis that as one of the most cited scholars on earth know i'm chomsky said when he shared the stage with the late to go chavez revolution it's not easy like to thank. us for the kind words you're going to tell us i'm out of this and i wouldn't. write about. criticize the barriers. i'm going to pass. the pass and women in a fast. herders to create create a better world. not to talk about. that in

fact you need have these. siting about. at last visiting minute to have a. better world is being created. that sharing a stage with the late hugo chavez well joining me now is that list in filmmaker john pilger his latest film is called the coming war on china john thanks for coming back on before we get to the world in may and what did you make of jeremy cool been condemning violence on both sides in venezuela venezuela is getting the kind of attention. rightly and used because they are it's not attempt to overthrow the government that's what this violence in the street is about and i think it would have been rather good of jeremy coburn had made it rather more specific who stopped that the violence would be in this country tolerate.

an opposition in the cold for the violent overthrow of the government the cold the military to rise up a media cold cold on say let's say the b.b.c. calling for a coup against the government in why i told and the prime minister in the ten downing street of course not yes there is violence on both sides but i would suggest that most of the violence comes from something that has never gone away and that is monopolies that control seventy percent of the capital and economic power in venezuela wanting to get rid of a government that is not a socialist government it's a social democratic up there is done some very interesting i can quite see significant things for poor people who were regarded in the paul as white south africans used to regard the majority in that country. you've been here long. jamie

colby is what one might say but it was the reason he may not speak about the situation venezuela like you've just done is that his policy of not speaking about venezuelan ballast seems to be paying dividends he's favored to be the next prime minister in this country as well i'm not sure that the two actually together i think a lot of people were very pleased to hear germany speak up not only about venezuela but speak up about the arms trade not simply is the manifest coals for an inquiry into britain support for saudi arabia and all the arms that britain gives it we know about it it should be an end to a commercial sales policy which was begun by a labor government then as healy set up the procurement office that began this this multi-billion pound. enterprise

profitable enterprise of britain selling arms to some of the most unsavory unnamed countries in the world so they could use them against impoverished people that show day and completely and it would be good to see. to hear labor leaders say that but then he has these own problems within the party we should say very quickly because i would think most of his employees people who would be. more than happy to go ahead with this arms policy more than happy to indorse a so-called independent nuclear deterrent which jeremy coburn himself doesn't want so there's a conflict within the labor party we have to recognise that we don't listen to. the media especially our rob. treacherous liberal media and i say

treacherous because there's no attempt to report what is happening in venezuela or objectively or to look at contemporary history in the truth is that and yes it will be good to hear a labor leader. elected with such hope. within his own party and as you suggest possibly the next prime minister speak up about the ok will britain obviously with that independent you did attend will support presumably any american war on russia you in your latest piece talk about other worlds may and and say that what the us congress have bust is should frighten all of us on the planet way. i don't know the world well and i think there is such a risk at the moment there was such provocation the u.s. congress both houses. unprecedented almost unanimous

a handful of people who voted no have voted for. what they call sanctions against russia in fact these are sanctions against europe as well those sanctions especially against germany because what they are saying is that to the germans who are dependent on russian natural gas you can deal with russia we're going to tell you in fact by the way you can have very expensive. frakt gas which will send across the atlantic but really that is these sanctions is so sweeping the maccaferri guy is saying you really kongs almost come speak about them in the land of free speech liberal media says this is a great reaction in the face of trump the man jury and get a date he wanted to get so close to russia a careless i've never been i've never known such a political pantomime the that has gone into act m t and.

when it stopped being funny and all what children have gone just leaving the adults as these auto drivel about how russia has played such a prominent role all conspire with donald trump to put him in that is so provocative that it in the one oasis of sanity that we've had from trump and that's he didn't want to go to war with russia i mean where did this come from i haven't made. i do apologize for interrupting our regular programming but we bring you breaking news now because heavy injuries have been sustained by protesters at the unite the right in the u.s. state of virginia a call that plowed its way through the crowd that had assembled this cross live now to wall to america's alex rubenstein he was at the scene and to seen some of the

aftermath of the incident alex i know you you sort of saw the vehicle itself and still some of the blood and some of the injured just tell us more sure yeah so it was a but it was a three car pile up i'm not sure how it how it works physically but the person in front from what i hear was able to drive away and was followed by a state trooper that was told to me by an n.b.c. reporter i didn't see that personally i saw it i saw i did i saw two cars that were totaled the trunk was just completely smashed a woman was inside crying there was there was blood on the hood of her vehicle that was blood all over the place of people sixty people injured i saw i saw some of them flying through the air over the hood of the car. and i'm hearing actually one one possible feet tallit i can't confirm that but that's that's what i've been hearing on the ground and i also hear about sixteen people injured total as the

been any suggestion at this point as to who the victims were the people who who were hit by this call with a right wing protesters over the counter protesters. no no they were counter protesters they they were more of the variety they weren't breaking things or anything like that they were marching through a very very small road it was it's a one way and they had just of a big number of people in that stretch and the car just plowed through three cars actually plowed through two of them and it appears to be unintentionally one of them and it appears to be very intentional i mean this sounds like a riff and seeing lots of people injured by the sound of it one of the authorities done about this i would imagine that with the place down to something like this. although it's not completely locked down i mean streets have been shut off on and off all day and charlottesville. they were originally fire trucks came down and even a bear cat the bear cat was the first vehicle to respond after reports and started

coming out of this of this incident and then later on some ambulances were able to show up after about like seven to ten minutes or so. i hear donald trump is going to give a speech later tonight say something about this but it seems as though charlottesville is not completely shut down although there is a state of emergency what's the mood there of the count of protests you said some of them who have been injured how they responded to what seems to been a soul to pawn some of the numbers. it's just it's just very somber here a lot of people crying a lot of people have friends that were that were hit by that car and just just all around sadness you know you know typically at a protest if if the police will ask you to get on the sidewalk protesters will say no i mean everyone was compliant and everyone was just trying to do the best thing that they could do at that time for the people it seems. and how would you describe

the scene today we heard the previous incidents as well just how violent how's this protest being. sure i mean there was not a good number of chemicals being sprayed there was pepper spray. there. i'm sorry i apologize my camera man. there was a a large number of pepper spray being shot from both sides at each other i saw people hitting each other with holes i saw a lot of people with just what a lot of blood running down their face giant welts it was very it was very odd dramatic very scary at times ah but i will say that the. police did not you did not use heavy handed tactics today and how would you describe the scene now does this look like things are going to calm down perhaps people seen enough and want out now or could this actually build. it seems it seems that for the day of charlottesville

it's over everybody is spread out across multiple multiple sites throughout the downtown area ah but it seems that for the day everything everybody is tired everyone's everyone's grieving. sense that it's time to speak to is that you carry on filming there ever will speak to you again rubenstein from you i apologize for that. well more on our breaking news story here violence has erupted as we've heard there is crowds gathered for a right wing march in charlottesville in the u.s. state of virginia here are some more pictures we have from the scene. was it. was was. it.

charlottesville has now declared a state of emergency over this rally a small city has become a ground zero for white nationalist neo confederate and always try to activist in the us this includes the k.k.k. in their fight to keep traces of the confederate legacy there intact this is after a plan was announced to remove the statue and to rename two local parks. we also spoke to political and social commentator and brian logan he gave us his view on proceedings kind of expected this anytime you have you know groups of whites i want to come together to talk about anything they do is we then be a white in a positive way of course you're going to get people to come a kind of protest you're going to have people matter you also have. the same kind of thing happen in california over berkeley so it isn't a surprise that

a happy new year in a state of virginia you should not be removing these monuments because when you do there what it does is it reshapes history it's always a different story than actually what actually happened during the civil war they try to paint a confederate as like this evil races place in the north as a peaceful fun loving you know compazine liberal place but that was not the case and i think once you remove these monuments it suits in the favor of to cite their wine as being this you know this generous person is generous people when they really nice police do need to take some action at least for you know right now. as of right now as a fed is trendy to go out there and protest in you know scream matter is going to things because a lot of people get out there in order to get a lot of attention to be able to promote themselves market themselves that what the police do need to intervene when it gets to a point where it crosses a boundary because when you cross a boundary excess a president for boundaries to continuously be crossed. ok i believe we can now show you video footage of the moment where the car actually crashed into the crowd of

protesters. you can see demonstrate that this is a believe the moment to bring in now the college is coming to a halt and. these are disturbing images the first of seeing these. in my town. i i i i i i i i i i i i i i. i and as we heard a moment ago off the camera mike a bystander explaining how things are the car had just plowed into the crowd not

several people love clearly of of panic and extreme distress nobody had any idea that that might happen. warn you once again you may find these images disturbing and just received this is now and they are reasonably graphic and see the blood on the vehicles which is clearly heavily damaged the impact there from going into. the crowd of people. the following is a severe thunderstorm watch the mountain from the national weather service the national weather service has issued severe thunderstorm watch number four for seven effective until nine pm this watch includes the following counties in pennsylvania

burks bucks delaware montgomery and philadelphia remember a severe thunderstorm watch means the conditions are favorable for the development of severe weather including large hail and damaging winds and close to the watch area laos appear with or may not be imminent persons should remain alert for rapidly changing weather conditions and listen for leaders statements and possible warnings. in the weather radio commercial radio and television outlets who are into sources for the latest severe weather information repeating a severe thunderstorm watch number four four seven has been issued until nine pm for the following counties in pennsylvania burks bucks delaware montgomery and philadelphia. i saw i saw at least twelve or so protesters they were marching through a very tight a street a one way and a car so she followed through then. they went off sliding up the hood. there were

there was just a lot of blood i didn't i didn't see too many specific injuries are a lot of people were surrounded. but they're i mean people bleeding profusely from from their limbs from their face etc. see now police have closed the post of several streets around the area mark correspondent said that a lot of people now have decided it started to call it a day many people making their way home now following what has been a day of fairly substantial conflicts blood had already been shared earlier in the day clashes between these right wing protesters and counter protesters who come to to meet them this is all been based around the fact that in charlottesville a fairly small city that the decision has been made by local authorities to remove a statue and to rename to the local parks the fears by the protesters that this is

going to remove parts of the confederate legacy there in the area that's what they were protesting counter protesters turned up there were clashes there was violence and had been injuries but then things took a turn for the extreme worse with this incident lease one possibly as many as two or three cars driving into a very crowded area our correspondent explained people coming off the bonnet of the cars which were heavily damaged in the process many people injured lots of blood as we saw and possibly fatal if at least is the latest information your thirty's as we heard didn't intervene particularly after that incident things do seem to quieten down. to an extent now and as we've seen certain parts now the police have set up

a cordon. so it appears that they have sealed off the area where that incident took place in order to investigate what happened. i. i. i. i. i i i. i i i i i i i. i i i i i i i.

i i i it's seems isn't just chaos panic and as you heard off mike there from some of the people who decide who dissembled they were completely cool off guard by this was no suggestion anything like this might happen several vehicles according to the voice we heard off the off the counter montreaux nice several vehicle suggested not just the ones with no suggestion at this point as to whether this may or may not have been deliberate but the the damage is evident on the number of victims to see these both several people on the ground being attended to that. counter protest and these were the counter protesters just to remind you against a protest being carried out by members of the of the right wing political saying they were unhappy about the decision to remove a statue and to rename some local park they believe that this was going to be white

washing the confederate legacy in the area. it's an extremely upsetting scene and most people appear to have been injured possibly more than one fatality. we spoke to political and social commentator. anthony brian logan got his reaction to this. kind of expected this anytime you have you know groups of whites i want to come together to talk about anything they do is way then being a white in a positive way of course you're going to get people to come a kind of protest you're going to have a black matter you also have. the same kind of thing happen in california over berkeley so it isn't a surprise that a happy new year in a state of virginia you should not be removing these monuments because when you do there what it does is it reshapes history it tells a different story than actually what actually happened during the civil war they try to paint the confederate as like this evil races place in the north as a peaceful fun loving you know compazine liberal place but it was not the case and

i think we should remove these monuments in a favor of to cite their wine as being this you know this generous person as generous people when they really nice please do need take some action at least for it you know right now. as of right now it's a fair is trying to go out there and protest in you know scream matter kind of things because a lot of people get out there in order to get a lot of attention to be able to promote themselves market themselves but the police do need to intervene when it gets to a point where it crosses a boundary because when you cross a boundary excess a precedent for boundaries to continuously be crossed. for this seemingly tragic incident with at least one fatality we're hearing from reports. is what followed after what have been an afternoon of protests which have become violent this is all based around crowd gathered for right wing march in charlottesville in the u.s. state of the junior we can bring you now latest pictures from those protests.

i. graduated i. was. right. well shots for the authorities down to the state of emergency at the rally in the small city has become a ground zero for white nationalist movement confederate and right activists in the us that includes the k.k.k. in their fight to keep traces of the confederate legacy that intact two follows a plan being announced to remove a statue to rename two local. so if you just choose to an

international lengths for joining us i must warn you though some pretty disturbing images we're showing you now in our breaking news which is that head injuries are being sustained possibly a fatality. this was involving protesters of the unite the riot rally in the u.s. state to visit virginia a call that has plowed as we understand into account to demonstrate his let's hear now from monte america's alex rubenstein he was at the scene and witnessed the aftermath. i wasn't rolling at the time i just happened to catch the aftermath i saw i saw a line of three cars up plowing through but it doesn't protesters other injuries were very heavy there was there was quite a bit of blood on the roof of cars the cars were totaled it looked like on i'm not i'm not quite sure of the exact situation a lot of people around here are saying that it was a member of unite the right who who plowed through originally but clearly there

were there were was more than one vehicle involved and i saw i saw the woman inside crying so i'm not really entirely sure of the situation there and indeed yeah i saw i saw at least twelve or so of protesters they were marching through a very tight a street a one way and a cars on. keep plowing through them. they went flying off the hood on their way there was just a lot of blood i didn't i didn't see too many specific injuries are a lot of people were surrounded. but there i meet people bleeding profusely from from their limbs from their face etc. these are pictures that we have of the actual incident you can see them must again remind you may find these disturbing and we saw a vehicle there rolling to a halt it it just plowed its way through a crowd of counter protest this lots of information suggesting that there was more

than one vehicle. clearly the crowds there extremely distressed no suggesting anything was going to go to this level of violence lots of people injured and we've had reports of at least one fight our city. and these accounts of protesters to unite the right march taking place there in charlottesville virginia to unite the right protestors unhappy about the decision to remove a monument to rename parks that considered. right the confederate history in the area that has been violent skirmishes earlier in the day the how being had been injury sustained on the day the police haven't seen any particular extent intervene but then came the bass riff and consider involving the vehicles plowing into the crowd. and not has. caused a lot of people now to vacate the area and clearly lots of people in shock at this

point lots of injuries and the police have now cordoned off several streets in that vicinity. no suggestion at this point whether this was an accident unintentional or whether it was deliberate driving other vehicles into the cow. to protest this but is what is clear from that from the footage that we have here is that you receive injuries have been to stein heavy damage to the vehicles as well. ok let's bring in jacqueline vu because she's on to correspondent over in united states she's on the phone with us if you can hear me ok jacki what with the information coming from over there in the u.s. do we know any more about what happened what's the reaction been i would've thought this is making big news headlines over in the u.s. . yes unfortunately still a lot is unclear of what has happened obviously there was a core that plowed into the protesters it's not it's not clear at this point which

group of the protesters were targeted but what was happening is there were white nationalists holding a rally to protest plans by the city of charlottesville virginia to remove a statue of general robert usually a famous confederate soldier and there were several hundred protesters marching in a long line. cord broke into a group of them at this point there are reports of multiple injuries and it's also being reported that there is possibly one fatality already obviously we'll be keeping up with that and trying to bring you more information once we have it all on that you know who was injured and how this all happened this demonstration turned violent right at the beginning there were barricades dividing the two groups but they came down and police temporarily retreated and people were seen clubbing each other. one another and there was pepper spray being hit on all

sides and then it escalated to this point where we've seen this before ram into the protesters again we're not sure how many people are injured and there are reports of want to tell to you but we're not sure if that has been can. firmed or not and this is just sort of the latest incident of severe division that we're seeing in the united states a lot of protests like this have been happening throughout the country and turning violent so it's just a very very stressful and tentative situation right now and we'll be bringing you more and more as we can as we get more updates on the information of what's happened. many thanks us jacqueline's who's on the line by phone for is a coast on this in the united states who has the latest still a lot unknown about this incident to what extent it may or may not be intention.
