truth.

two people have reportedly been killed in. protests against president there are also reports the demonstrators set fire to a police station in the north of the country. a furious response to a statement president. him. cold for regime change. i'm mike pence the vice president of the united states the united states supports the courageous decision by one god oh the president of your national assembly to assert that body's constitutional powers

declare madeira your syrup or and he said a seat in the vice president of the united states broke rules of the game he spots while talking in that video is that he was drooling his eyes were moving like this what did he smoke we don't know nicolas maduro is a dictator with no legitimate claim to power absolute revision of our relations with the government of the united states of america the u.s. government is openly taking sides in venezuela's internal affairs right here now the country is once again a hot spot as president my duros inauguration was branded illegitimate and with himself branded a usurper opposition leader one white though says he's ready to take over as the country's leader he's declared himself to be the interim president and he refuses to recognize the inauguration of president by duro but one problem why go with never actually elected president and the vice president of venezuela delsea rodriguez responded to pence on twitter accusing him of verbal incontinence and

said pence is interventionist and serious statement reveals the clear intention of the us government to undermine the country's public powers and encourage the extremist sectors of the right to a coup d'etat venezuelans defense sovereignty and peace appends also voiced support for protests that have been small in numbers but have been quite violent.

both supporters of the government and the opposition are planning marches for wednesday to commemorate the fall of a military government in one thousand fifty eight and now washington has thrown it full support between a figure who was never elected sounds a lot like meddling right we can blame the us for what's happening because u.s. has created what's happening on the ground the chaos and the social upheaval has been largely caused by u.s. meddling u.s. says no it has no right whatsoever they are not they are not the global president they are not the global elites they are not they are not the government of the of the global u.s. you know actions like you know acts like a sociopath and so sociopath would justify these kind of illegal actions you know saying that oh we have the right right to go in and save democracy or or or or institute do obviously when the us doesn't even institute democracy in its own

country basic logic tells us that these people that they're hypocrites these u.s. government officials are outright hypocrites because their track record tells us otherwise in regard to what they really really think about democracy they just don't like the results that that were put through that that came out of those recent elections in venezuela. meanwhile in neighboring brazil t.v. outlets c.n.n. is expanding its reach in latin america by all of a sudden opening a portuguese language station that however the team heading the new operation don't quite seem to fit the traditional c.n.n. .

presume is donald trump extreme views on a variety of things telling a congresswoman she was not pretty enough to really express. like. military dictatorship. this is an apple. some people might try to tell you that it's a been in your mind even start to believe this is opinion. but it's not.

is and. we have c.n.n. to comment on these latest appointments. in the meantime another us media outlet that of buzz feed insists that one of its articles described by special counsel robert muller as office is not accurate is true the story allege that donald trump ordered his ex lawyer to lie to congress but it's not the only accusation of inaccuracy that buzz feed's been facing as much as d.f. now reports. tough times if you work at buzz feed lots of criticism abuse the outlets getting these last few days and no it isn't for the post about seventeen adorable cats at work or for their quiz which tells you which muppet you are no one reason is buzz feed's sensational story about trump ordering

his lawyer to lie to congress about a proposed trump tower in moscow huge deal this i'm solid my sources are solid this reporting is accurate a bombshell new report from buzz feed news certainly explosive reporting and without question this is a big one it is breaking news perhaps major breaking news thing is if it sounds too good to be true it probably is what buzz feed wasn't counting on is robert mueller his team itself publicly dismissing buzz feed's story as nonsense both freeze description of specific statements to the special counsel's office and characterization of documents and testimony of teen boy this office regarding markku cohen's congressional testimony on milt accurate buzz feed's bad luck didn't then their next one of its journalists after watching

a cut clip of an alleged conflict between a bunch of teenagers and the native american man went on a tirade about how white the root cause of the evil. of the conversations over the past twenty four hours how deeply familiar this look is it's the luke white patriarchy of course but that familiarity that banality is part of what prompts the visceral reaction this isn't spectacular it's life in america once again the story fell apart after a full video of the confrontation became available showing that the kids did nothing wrong it wasn't the. harassing people yet they're now getting death threats and that tirade is still up so here have some more authentic buzz feed funny animal pictures. none of it all that surprising when you take into account who founded buzz feed jonah peretti founder and c.e.o.

and apparently noted fraudster that big article has revealed how mr peretti in two thousand and three stole the identity of a well known gun activist set up a website in his name and sent out hundreds of thousands of emails pretending to be someone he was not in an effort to sway public opinion on gun control in effect a massive fake news disinformation campaign he was sued for that and settled eventually. after a year and a half we finally reach a legal settlement peretti also apologized to gold blasts and took down jeff gold black dot com i received an undisclosed monetary settlement or take mr. little stunt detailed in the article this upset that some student had set up a dating website rejection hotline with

a similar name to his own dating website rejection live on bread he set up a website legibly for the express purpose of defaming someone ruining a person's reputation emails contained multiple lies about me and betrayed me as an arrogant jerk who was bragging about how i was stole the idea of the new york city rejection line reportedly and that website was also shut down as part of the settlement truly the apple didn't fall far from the tree begun by a man who seemingly specialized in fake news and disinfo mazen in mobilizing and defaming people buzz feed continues the family tradition and days when it started posting these sixteen adorable pops we have asked buzz feed to comment on the allegations we are standing by. the construction of the nord stream to pipeline to deliver gas from russia directly to

europe is causing some geo political concerns negotiations in brussels between russia ukraine and the e.u. regarding the current gas transit route which goes through ukraine have failed to lead to any concrete agreement and europe is all of a sudden making changes to his legislation that complicate the construction of this new russian pipeline. the commission remains fully committed to the static to farm and demand our aim is to have a coherent set of energy rules applied to offshore pipelines. cities in the case. on the shore of pipelines on meanwhile the u.s. has its own fears over the construction of the pipeline with trump repeating many times that it will play into russian hands and the u.s. ambassador to germany sent out a warning that sanctions may well be applied to any and all countries supporting

north stream to. as you are aware the united states strongly opposes nord stream to the pipeline poses serious geopolitical consequences to our european allies and partners we continue to stress that firms operating in the russian energy export pipeline sector are engaging in activities that carry significant sanctions risk however germany's energy minister responded by saying russia has been and remains a long term reliable partner adding that the warnings from the united states will not change bourbons plans. it's me so i'm trying for engineer you see i is a federal minister i'm standing here not pale and not shaking i'm not afraid if someone sends a letter i can deal with it not just officials but also the german public support the construction of the pipeline with more than seventy percent saying it's right to push ahead and political analyst thomas fassbender thinks that the us is afraid

that a russia or in europe will become closer both economically and strategically via north stream to. is a certain fear of growing importance of growing dependence a pair of europe as a whole or even not germany on russian gas there is an underlying fear that russia might interfere with the domestic politics and the pipeline is of course used as an instrument also to move against or to decrease the power in the influence of those in europe who favor a stronger and a more normal relationship neighborly relationship with russia again. russia and the u.s. are in a ciccio strategic rivalry there is of course a certain fear in the us that europe and the you at and russia might move closer

a woman can't you control yourself even a little bit i mean you can't see a woman's face anywhere without getting aroused what's wrong with you it's very plainly this is a free country we've asked the city with or at least a comment on the issue it's not just featuring human women that have also been banned last year an image of smurfette from a comic strip cartoon the smurfs was removed from a billboard. south already said they were concerned that the cartoon character might incite the feelings of the city's residents we spoke with a bottle of former deputy mayor of the israeli city of it on and she told us that also looks communities ignore the law when it comes to religious rules. in a bucket that is an ultra orthodox community they feel that they have the right of though it's illegal to take it down these women they bought the space for their pictures for the billboards they paid for the space like everyone else does and it

was taken down so of course it's not legal i must explain the situation however to the ultra orthodox community it does not matter if it's legal or illegal it's something according to their rules and regulations which is ultra religious rules and regulations they say that if a civil woman can that to be seen as shown in public in public domain. plenty more still to come here on the program ought to you including know which world leaders both past or present those friends who's a manual micro-loan compacts who put the question to the people on the streets of paris after the break.

a serious mistake on this issue from the very beginning we edged the canadian side to me to leave release man one show and protect him it just meant rice will so strongly urge the u.s. to immediately correct the mistake with draw the arrest warrant against men one show and not make a formal extradition request to canada. one canadian journalist told us the dispute has created an impossible di lemma for the country's government for the syrian judicial system this is shameful but it's being done because of the pressure coming from the united states and canada has not too many ways to resist that pressure china could hurt sound of that i guess the united states can hurt count even more so than having a small country if defenseless country really just has to to opt for the lesser of two evils the united states to wherever like no matter what and
