a new deal has to be on the table we have to be. on the basis that we can move forward and achieve the result which the unify all the regions and to so that you make you can do well they see that she is politically weak right now and there they are backing her into a corner seventy labor m.p.'s came out publicly pledging their support for another vote where also hearing remains from brussels that the e.u. is already willing to extend article fifty not just beyond june which had been floated as sort of a potential extension period given the turmoil but given how big this political crisis surrounding breaks it is that each of you is reportedly mulling over potentially extending bragg's it all the way into next year so into twenty twenty. tourism is now expected to head to brussels for crisis talks on

a whole show drew of parts of the european legislation they had to go up of course and they could quite have to live with them so they would come out of the traps of to go further if they wanted to and so this is what we're for against it it took the year to begin the process and that's partly because people very divided to want to do your position is very divided so we have all these divisions and they council cross parties and they cut across the country to war waiting for two reason may's post voted dress outside downing street some unlikely visitors showed up. i think. we need to do.

that as well as embattled president is facing fresh challenges to his authority as he begins his second term in office on wednesday a group of exiled military officers called for nicolas maduro to overthrow saying the army must reject his leadership in the wake of last may's disputed election they voiced their support for the opposition leader one way does he also has washington's case that his party is what he said form a government with more on the growing crisis he's kind of more. one has declared himself to be the interim president of venezuela is choosing not to recognize the inauguration of nicolas maduro the president who was just sworn in no election took place to select one weighed over as the head of the national assembly at this point he is granting no legitimacy to the venezuelan state and it's worth noting that the

u.s. government loves him this is what was said by u.s. vice president mike pence nicolas maduro is a dictator with no legitimate claim to power who is a precise the villa's wailin people who for too long the united states strongly supports the courageous decision by. the president of the national assembly to invoke constitutional protections and declare the country's presidency vacant now at this point rumors are circulating that donald trump is planning to recognize the unelected leader kwaito as venezuela's head of state marco rubio. the u.s. senator is trumpeting the call from the us his perspective since we recognize the legitimate president c. of the national assembly as president pending a new election i think that the time has come to expel them a dural appointed ambassador and allow the new constitutional president to appoint replacements the washington post even gave a platform to publishing an op ed that he wrote now doesn't that sound

a lot like foreign meddling the usa has been pretty open about choosing to side with the opposition against venezuela's government back when she was in office this is what nikki haley said at the united nations the systematic oppression of the venezuelan people has become an active threat to the entire region for the safety and the security of all people in latin america it is time for men to to go back in september the white house would not deny that it had met with people that were plotting a coup to overthrow the venezuelan government when asked about the issue it simply gave a vague statement about democracy and since then we've actually heard donald trump calling for the violent overthrow of the venezuelan government. a regime that frankly could be toppled very quickly by the military or the military. now the washington post in the new york times two top newspapers in the usa have both published an op eds calling for the military to overthrow the elected government in

venezuela now u.s. leaders say this is simply out of humanitarian concerns they only want to intervene to rescue those poor oppressed venezuelans socialism has bankrupted the oil rich nation. and driven its people. into abject. poverty as we've seen the completion of venezuela's collapse into dictatorship we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option there is no greater chose today than the full scale dismantling of democracy and the heartbreaking humanitarian disaster in venezuela but how exactly can u.s. leaders claim that they know what average venezuelans want venezuela is facing a deepening economic political and social crisis but we can't possibly understand this crisis or see a way out of the crisis without understanding u.s. intervention the end the us has been trying to topple this government since the year two thousand two thousand and one and so i mean the us is not promoting

democracy in venezuela the u.s. is stepping up in intervention in a moment in which it sees that it now has an actual possibility of overthrowing the government the u.s. particularly is threatening to recognize this opposition as the legitimate government and it is threatening to impose heightened oil sanctions so that it would not only import bennis well than oil and refine it in the united states the purpose is not to bring democracy the u.s. doesn't intervene in other countries in order to bring democracy to those countries that it intervenes in order to secure its own interests so it if it bolsters recognizes and props up dictatorships when it's in its in the u.s. interest to do so and a choice to bring about regime change through elections in which it intervenes in those actions so the usa says that it wants democracy in venezuela well nothing sounds more democratic than having the military roll into the capital and overthrow the elected leaders caleb mop and r.t. new york. italian interior minister i'm

a terror cell veiny has accused fronts of harboring a fugitive terrorist suspect and his quote i want to monochrome to hand them out of a solid tip it depends picks up a story off today. cade's on the run one of italy's most new tourist criminals finally steps back on to home soil says operatives steed charged with four murders was part of the so-called great but gates that terrorized the country back in the seventy's. to me is into a prison sentence but tiste escaped to france now under the so-called to me to hong doctoring by which foreign terrorists were given safe haven if they had to announce

their past crimes france welcomed him with open arms for decades he enjoyed something of a celebrity status becoming an author he mingled with the literary elite and politicians now the success in bringing him to justice has led to italy to call on other countries including france to stop hall bring terrorists. my people to the french president to return to italy to fugitives that should not be drinking champagne under the eiffel tower who should be rotting in jail they need to make it silly walls france to hand over more than thirty over these champagne terrorists.

the list includes no cisco an n.t. who said to live in this house south of paris. i think that of the forty years we could find a solution to this story as has already been done in the history of the world in civilised countries it's time to turn the page but i've never done what they accuse me of i am absolutely a warrant from an n.t.'s extradition is currently being looked at and it's likely that he won't be alone in wondering if onse is about to give him up but there is a big but french officials have said extradition can't be pursued in most of the cases as the statute of limitations here would quash the proceedings with tensions between the two countries already at a tipping point over migrants the forthcoming elections and italy support for the

movement this seems to be no sign the president has any intention of allowing salvini to claim a home run. r.t. charlotte solor. the u.s. says that it will withdraw from a key cold war era arms control agreement with russia where the beginning of next month comes after american and russian officials met in geneva for talks on the u.s. side concluded that moscow is in breach of the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty a position long held by washington. we were going to do that that's important to the russians and then i can see the tradition that they've been violating here for many years and it is russia's position that what russia has developed and developing in stabilizing weapon systems for more than a decade has to carry you. back to.

the light of these facts that the states today declared it is from russia in breach of the treaty. but. it was. not allowed to have. that allowed to moscow says it's invited us inspectors to examine the missiles which washington claims and violate the treaty but to no avail russia's deputy foreign minister claimed on wednesday that responsibility for the failure of the agreements life squarely with america which he says has been unwilling to negotiate in good faith what despite that vladimir putin has said that should the trumpet ministration change its mind about the pact russia is ready to hold talks the curation of the intention to withdraw from the i.n.f. treaty has become just another step in a sequence of similar actions it's obvious that such a course will have the greatest consequences despite the united states declared intention to withdraw from the i.n.f. treaty we are open to further dialogue on ways of preserving the treaty

washington's decision to tear up the agreement is also drawn criticism from many european officials who appear unsettled by the move. indeed but that one we regret the withdrawal announced by the us we see this treaty as a very important controlled instrument and something that also serves european interests and therefore also interest the announcement by the us that it's going to withdraw from the i.m.f. accord is regrettable the i.n.f. agreement has been important pillar of our european security architecture for thirty years for us in europe it's of great importance we call on the us to consider the possible consequences if u.s. and russia need to remain engaged in constructive dialogue to preserve the treaty and to ensure. to ensure its cool and verifiable implementation which of

course is crucial for europe's and global security the i.n.f. treaty was signed in one thousand eight hundred seven by ronald reagan and macau gorbachev and took effect a year later it monday to both the us and u.s.s.r. to destroy old ground based missiles with ranges between five hundred and five thousand five hundred kilometers under the agreements neither side had the right to test but you still deploy any such missiles in the future investigative journalist rick sterling believes that tearing up the arms control treaty could have catastrophic consequences. there are elements in the administration who just want to withdraw they want to escalate the arms race they want to their goal is quote unquote to achieve regain nuclear suprema see this is actually hugely important it'll be very dangerous not just for the united states and russia but for the entire world if we see that continuation of this decline in arms control and a resumption of

a full fledged arms race and so people say well there are other nuclear powers such as china and other countries but rather than to. tearing up the i.n.f. treaty what should be done is to expand it to include other other countries that would be a logical way to proceed tearing up the treaty is going to be a very it's going to be a milestone that has potentially disastrous consequences very dangerous without with more often a very short break. this . country has gone into a nihilistic fever that's what you think of the road and get out the traveling

across america to find what makes america take the show is the genius of the quintessential american hero this is it we've come to a point which alan would have done something we always are on the current system was called the culture is moving forward. oh. we're starting west with is going to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the bee i think i want to leave now doesn't do any more of those on the earth we may be completely different by the end of this journey. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

welcome back and interview on new york radio station cyrus sex and so can i run it turn on tuesday c.n.n. analyst a riva mohsin appearing on political talk show host david webb spro graham suggested that white privilege was a key factor in web success however the claim backfired spectacularly. by virtue of being a white male you have white privilege you whole long conversation i don't have time to review i hate to break it to you but you should have been better prepped i'm black too as he has blasted martin on the social network following the gaffe with many criticizing the rise of identity politics political activist anthony washes right believes that while white privilege is real the abuse of the term undermines the push for equality. yeah it's very unfortunate that she made that gaffe because i think it precluded from having a much deeper conversation but there are definitely some people who use it as an ad hominum attack and we have to we have to call that you know we have to keep it

germane and we have to have cogent discussions i mean we we have to be honest that white privilege does exist in the united states of america but if i'm not doing my part you know about going to go as far as our poor president obama said and so that anyone who pulls up their bootstraps is automatically going to get success but i but at the same time yeah there are definitely people out there who don't want to do anything and would sort of use this narrative and it does week in with people who would just do it without there without any basis because it does weaken actual instances of white supremacy or racial bigotry. two leading democratic senate says in the united states on turning up the hate on donald trump requesting access to be in tapper to see were present at his meetings with vladimir putin we believe it to be in the national security interests of the united states that any record of these conversations be preserved and immediately provided to congress we insist that the

interpreters for these interactions especially the individual who interpreted for your meeting with president putin in helsinki be made immediately available for interviews with the relevant committees in congress the democrats lesser follows an article published by the washington post on sunday and suggested that trump deliberately concealed details of his meetings with a plan to have putin including the talks in helsinki last year and the democrats have also joined to an end as and wait and calling on the interpretive to testify. do you intend to try to subpoena the interpreter or get the notes we do want to pursue this we certainly could subpoena the interpreter would say subpoena interprets notes the question is on what basis will they refuse because they will refuse and what is our chance of success on that trump has responded to the allegations by lashing out at what he calls the fake news media he says that becoming crazy every day political scientists call in cavell told is that if

interviewed regardless of what the interpretive face the democrats will take it as evidence of wrongdoing on the president's policy. i think president should work try to prevent that and say that the president's all right as he does about turn over records until he leaves office however if by some reason they are able to give. them a deal with an interpreter then of course we'll make all sorts of claims about whatever communication is provided by their interpreter. as our viewers by our there are crowds want to dismiss as fake and fall so the only thing the presidential observes and does no matter what the interpreter is those that are going to make charges and so that amounts to calling . the washington post's meticulous fact checking has been drawing ridicule

online after launched a special investigation into donald trump's recent fast food bank fast food banquet at the white house the publication apparently thought it important to establish the true height of the president's pile of purpose. about one thousand. kember course. so actually that we've got thousands burger king all american i wanted to see so was piled up a mile. well

thank god we have the washington post to dig deep into this important story. investigation well them pulitzers all around. this gives us a whole new meaning to the german nothing but good maybe the russians treat their rights. to. border security our nation broken system the crisis and shutdown billion dollars a year leader of the house democrats who just want a big victory let's let me let me just let me just say that's what i did so well for the president. you know now will be hey with the latest at the top of the hour.

that entire collection of countries and regions that have been the main economic. players for decades now over time they're going to become this much more players the world is going to evolve china india middle east africa. under certain scenarios they're going to represent about eighty percent of world g.d.p. at the end of the century and that scenario is where they do catch up in terms of quarterly growth. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is often spanning dramatic development only really going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
