yeah john oliver of arc to america is this. better than to. see people you've never heard of. the world bank very. seriously send us an e-mail. this hour's headlines stories china lays its leadership plans for the next. president she's power outlining plan to replace the u.s. petro dollar with its own currency. also in the latest shocking revelation from whistleblower edward snowden saudi arabia ordered rebels to quote light. during the syrian civil war supporting them with literally weapons. family feuds over a council the independent standoff that's causing division not only in spain but in

neighboring fronts. coming from moscow every hour of the day this is our international my name is you know we'll welcome to the program our top story there are some changes at the top in the world's second largest economy with china on veiling its leadership team for the coming five years president xi announced the new line up to the politburo standing committee the party country's ruling body it's generally perceived that one of the members of the committee traditionally will take over the reins as the next chinese leader but none of the new strong men appear. all of them for a start are in their sixty's which means in five years they will be considered too

old in chinese society for the nation's top job. by the end of the year the additional point in the speech. the pay for oil using its own currency undermining the supremacy of the us petro dollar on the energy markets taking a closer look at the. till now the us dollar has been the only currency with which large scale purchases of oil work conducted hence the term petro dollar but now it's the idea of the picture you want that's being introduced which would of course mark a significant dent in the u.s. dollars global dominance now the move will allow china's trading partners to pay with either gold or to convert the one into gold cutting the u.s. dollar out of question altogether and frankly it's a logical move for china because they're of course the world's largest oil importer for example just last year china spent over one hundred billion u.s. dollars on oil so in theory if they managed to make those purchases in you won in

the future that would mean a huge chunk of u.s. change completely off the financial markets and one can only wonder what sort of effect that will have and of course it's a rather ambitious undertaking and there is some doubt that trading partners will get on board to make that possible and of course it goes without saying that after four decades of the u.s. dollar priced oil it's not a change that will happen overnight and we saw a reaction to this from the host of our report warns that the u.s. will fight back against the initiative. countries around the world are tired of funding america's military adventurism by being a party to the empire of debt as a stone around the world the us dollar and they want to split off they want their autonomy and china wants autonomy russia wants autonomy iran wants autonomy they want they don't want to be ruled over by the us dollar anymore the countries that are resistant to america's financial cartel are russia china

iran so now they figured out you know what we're going to split off from the dollar they can do so with this new contract and they're also they're embracing crypto currencies crypto currencies in this context is another way to deed dollar eyes they will fight back they will start a war they they although stop at nothing because this is the basis of the us empire it's not land based sought based on material goods it's based on rent seeking it's based on a lending dollars getting that income and then when countries can't pay they dismantle the assets and take them over we saw in latin america south america this is how america build a sample there is a huge split between the saudi in america right now the petro dollar which got started nine hundred seventy nine hundred seventy one that's coming to an end. like to open. the direct orders saudi arabia allegedly sent to syrian opposition forces in twenty thirteen providing them with literally tones of weapons for an assault

well that is the revelation in unverified documents leaked by n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden. has the details and joins me live at big statements mira what do we know about this. well according to an n.s.a. document leaked by edward snowden the syrian armed opposition was under the direct command of foreign governments the document reveals that the damascus attacks on march eighteenth two thousand and thirteen were directly ordered by a saudi prince been sold on who reportedly provided provided one hundred twenty tons of explosives and other weaponry to anti assad forces under the free syrian army umbrella also giving them instructions to quote light up damascus and quote flatten the airport of the memo also says that u.s. intelligence had a prior knowledge of the attack three days before hand to be precise and not only that but the report states that the saudi government was quote very pleased with the outcome but it should also be noted that these attacks resulted in heavy

clashes between the two sides let's take a look. at. what . was. it was. also worth mentioning that by this time the u.s. already had a program to support the rebel forces and a two thousand and thirteen was also a critical point in the syrian war as this was precisely when the conflict spread from local areas to all come across the country and escalated into a full fledged civil war causing massive military and civilian casualties and now we haven't been able to independently verify these documents but if proven true the

top secret intelligence memo will confirm that saudi arabia aided and armed insurgency that launched massive attacks on civilian civilian infrastructure as well as military targets for the goal of regime change life for america's capital city this hour similar accounts like. the editor of defense on foreign affairs magazine gregory copley say's foreign governments and saudi arabia in particular played an important role in fueling the conflict in syria there's no question that the this so-called civil war in syria began with some genuine. and restore unhappiness with the government but it was immediately funded and followed up the approach is five our governments particularly the governments of jokey and saudi arabia and the us bomb reduced ration actively supported that action to unseat president assad they

provided opinions major weapons to the terrorist groups which they could have been claimed. by events caused by the syrian government they attacking me in the damascus suburb twenty today for example we knew involved chemical weapons may be in saudi arabia as chips into the terrorist group. we are saudi arabia for a comment on this and if riyadh responds we will bring it to you as soon as we get it. meanwhile saying in syria and in iraq the us by a campaign to liberate the area from islamic state has no all but over whoever human rights groups are concerned about safety there as residents try to return home. the united nations stands ready to assess people with human theorum assistance in iraq and its surroundings however at the moment we have no access and

therefore no human. convoys or assistance can reach us if the humanitarian situation is dire there is no sufficient to want to or health clinics and it's not save as many unexploded imminence of this war there still remains so that needs to be cleaned up first before any civilian can go back isis has done a lot of harm not only to the inhabitants but also to the social fabric of this city and now it has emptied it of doctors nurses teachers and all things that are bad they eat at birth by probably should add to this that the u.s. the coalition has waged a year bombing campaign that have. isis over the need to protect the city's infrastructure so now the lingering questions is who will get the hospital who will

rebuild it doctors many an equipment will rebuild schools roads and all that has been destroyed and it appears that there are little to no plans for reconstruction and that is our major concern or another aspect of this rush defense ministry says idles grip on syria as a whole house is not being cut to just five percent of the territory there having controlled seventy percent of the entire country before quite astonishing figure syrian government forces have been supported by russia's earth forces in their operations to clear out the terrorists in the process of restoring peace in many areas is no well under way the statement lines that almost othello's in terrorist training camps and over five hundred mi nisshin factories have been destroyed but the bottle to free syria is nonetheless come at a huge cost. and i can. say that i was more than

a father to them we were friends and i always told them i supported them and i would do anything for them. i am sure and my husband used to say that if something happens to him the only thing that matters is that he died for his homeland. a lot of them a loss of an i pod there were times when i wanted to burst into tears in my mother's arms but she told me that a man and i should be strong she said that we must all be strong but i would miss to the death of me my first son i was never left alone all of my family stayed with me inside wanted me that's what is called responsibility. nothing or no cattle only as push for independence is dividing families not only in

spain but further afield too a former french prime minister who has roots in the breakaway region is concerned about the repercussions across europe while his sister has more immediate concert. they need to dismember a state like spain this beginning gradually to dismember europe it is also a progressive route we can in europe. box to the collapse of europe. former french prime minister well files that mincing no words when it comes to catalonia is independence he was one of the most staunch supporters of course you have spanish unity and he was actually born into a catalan family well given his heritage some might say that val's should be on the other side of the argument well that's at least what his sister thinks she's feeling and let rip it's him on twitter. for god's sake for

the sake of grandfather mcgee this is not democratic and neither is article one fifty five since when has there been such a horrible thing as the suspension of freedoms valves isn't the only one he's been put into somewhat embarrassing situation by close relatives but catalonia got along the president himself was also left red faced after his cousin chose to make a very pro independence move in the wake of the referendum. is moving the headquarters of her company to madrid citing political uncertainty for dear client due to the current political situation invacare would like to inform you that we will soon be changing the location of our headquarters well we all know that nobody can quite squabble like your own family and when politics gets involved

as well it may lead to some rather awkward dinners it seems that's how the vowels and the pooch to most could end up. in skiing. german president frank walter show. meyer is in moscow on his first official visit to russia he met with a lot of where putin earlier in the day both agreed that there is room for improvement when it comes to relations between germany and russia. despite the existing political difficulties relations between russia and germany have not come to a standstill and we are still ready to work together on the further development of even under the various political sanctions and the subsequent decrease and by were true trade germany still remains one of the leading economic partners and investors in russia should be a common goal to confront the great differences of the past years you know whole new man to make an effort together to restore at least the minimum of trust between

us. well in germany itself a newly elected parliament gathered for the first time yesterday the right leaning alternative for germany party in malaysia to make it to the bendish tag but not everyone was happy with that under spoke to f t m p one zero here in the studio earlier. you put forward three times your proposal was to i think vice president on all three occasions they were turned down i think we can just listen and show them what exactly happened for the proposed candid alberg laws a hundred fifty votes yes five hundred fifty voted no twenty six abstained. for the second round of votes in the of the fraction has put forward mr clause or. mr glass has not achieved the required number of votes. in the first round of voting mr glaus it will be like that if the number of yes votes is higher than the one of nerve votes. mr goelz has

a campaign saying the acquired majority of votes. i mean you had little support when he department but that really just shows how difficult perhaps things could be yesterday it was my first time my first day in palm and just rode my whole life so i took part in this. i'm really a little bit. offended by the behavior of the other parties because they declared themselves democrats what had happened before we did alternative for truman truman did party we had to water it democratically inside the column into a group to put forward the struggle after so it was a democrat to quote which had taken place before an inside our parliamentary group and we have a right on one seat as little as possible and that three times as i see it the other parties who declare themselves all super democratic they all struck to three times by their pure wish a democratic vote that had been put forward before by our party sure what sort of

influence do you think you'll have on german politics i say that because i think you have ninety members that human parliament around that figure but it's not enough to block policies it just wondered how you think you might be able to influence policy within germany the yesterday was a decisive day because yesterday there were some wards where we stood alone for example for mr vice president but there were other six or seven initiatives somber brought forward by us and brought forward by by the left wing by the christian democrats by the liberal democrats and there was a very good mix. of the other initiatives there were some boards together off of the left and the alternative for children apparently against the others then we had another vote where we were all two together with christian democrats and social democrats so the policy to exclude us started to crumble yesterday in this was

only the beginning. the actions of the u.s. drug enforcement administration in honduras are under question following the release of video footage in twenty twelve an empty drugs raid there took the lives of four civilians at the time the da said they returned fire when suspected drug runners shot on them the video released under the freedom of information act puts that in question let's take a look at infer red footage this is what we're talking about you can see perhaps two boats no one is carrying dea agents the other civilians it happened after agents capture a cocaine fill canoe in a country or complex operation the incident resulted with one month to pregnant women and a fourteen year old boy being shot dead. before u.s. senators earlier addressed concerns over operations in honduras to the u.s. secretary of state on to the attorney general they say failures on many levels have

resulted in the death and injury of many innocent civilians the d.n.a. itself sees that the case is still under in eternal refuse michael horovitz from the department of justice says there's no evidence that anyone in the passenger boat fired first da officials asserted to justice department leadership the u.s. ambassador of honduras and congress that some of the people in the passenger boat were drug traffickers attempting to retrieve the seized cocaine and that the people on the passenger boat had fired on the officers first our review found no evidence to corroborate these assertions the dean of durham law school home brew finds it alarming that it took so long for the video to be released. well i think it's it's alarming that it's taken this long for this footage to be released it seems it would have helped the families who would help people know what exactly happened

at that event if this had been done i don't see what purpose was served other than trying to cover up what was the story that they did not want to have come out and it seems you have some evidence of that in that seems either still reviewing what they are doing with this interview no with situation but they've known about this it would seem for many years. ok to something a little different now and if we can just paint the picture the russian saar abdicates a provisional government seizes power and the bolsheviks stir up a rebellion on october twenty fifth nineteen seventeen a revolution in russia change the course of the twentieth century artie's giving you the chance to follow the world changing events in real time with the twenty first century twist here daniel hawkins to explain. we may not be able to travel
