a sudden rolls out legal changes that will slow down. the construction of an old stream to. news on the hour every hour you will use for this wednesday and. two people have reportedly being killed in ongoing venezuelan protests against president maduro there are also reports that demonstrators set fire to a police station in the north of the country it comes off the most furious response to a statement from the u.s. vice president mike pence who bradman a dictator and even 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 though the president of your national assembly to

assert that body's constitutional powers declare madeira your syrup or as we 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 i've made the decision and given the no just the chance to the republic to initiate a total and 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 would throw 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 do it with

never actually elected president and the vice president of venezuela del see rodriguez responded to pence on twitter accusing him of verbal incontinence and said pence's 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 us has created what's happening on the ground the chaos and the social upheaval has been largely caused by us meddling us as no one has no right whatsoever they are not they are not the global president they are not the global police they are not they are not the government of the of the global usa 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 accuracy when the us doesn't even institute democracy in its own country basic logic tells us that these people are 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 there that they came out of those recent elections in venezuela meanwhile in neighboring brazil t.v. outlets c.n.n. is expanding its reach and not an america by all of a sudden opening a portuguese language station however the team head of the new operation well doesn't quite seem to fit the traditional c.n.n. .

i. presume donald trump extreme views on a variety of things telling a congresswoman she was not pretty enough to really express i like. military dictatorship.

this is an app. some people might try to tell you that it's been in one even start to believe that this is opinion. but it's not. this. isn't. you know we have asked c.n.n. to comment on these appointments. the meantime another us media outlet buzz feed insists that one of its articles described by special counsel robert muller as office was not accurate it's true the story alleged that donald trump ordered his ex lawyer to lie to congress but it's not the only accusation of inaccuracy the bugs for years been facing as what i guess do you now investigate. 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 that 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 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 muniz team itself publicly dismissing buzz feed's story as nonsense both these descriptions of specific statements to the special counsel's office and characterization of documents and testimony of teen boy this office regarding maku

cohen's congressional testimony on accurate buzz feed's bad luck didn't end there next to 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 deluca white patriarchy of course but that familiarity that banality is part of who would prompt a visceral reaction this is 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 them harassing people yet they're now getting death threats and that tirade is still up so here have some more authentic buzz feed funny adam old 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 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 e-mails pretending to be someone he was not in an effort to sway public opinion on gun control in effect a massive fake news this information 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 other

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 to trade 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 my lightning and defaming people buzz feed continues the family tradition of days when it's not posting these sixteen adorable pops. we have asked the buzz feed to

comment on the allegations we are standing by. the construction of the north stream to pipeline to deliver gas from russia directly to europe is causing some geopolitical 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 a concrete agreement and europe is all of a sudden making changes to his legislation that will complicate the construction of this new pipeline. the commission remains fully committed to the gas that active amendment our aim is to have a coherent set of energy rules applied to offshore pipelines. cities in the case. on shore by clients meanwhile the u.s. has its own fears over the construction of the pipeline with trump repeating many

times that it will play into russia's hands and the u.s. ambassador to germany sent out a rather firm warning that sanctions will 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. but germany's energy minister says american the threats have no impact on lin's plans in the me so i'm trying to be sure for engineer you see i work as a federal minister i'm standing here not pale not shaking i'm not afraid if someone sends a letter i can deal with it russia has been aren't reliable partner for fifty years on not just officials but also the german public support the construction of the pipeline but more than seventy percent saying it's right to push ahead political

analyst thomas fassbender thinks that the u.s. is afraid that russia and europe will become closer both economically and strategically via north stream too is a certain fear of growing importance of a growing dependence say 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 and 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 us at and russia might move closer

together. israel's a left wing at metz party has launched a campaign drawing attention to a municipal ban on women appearing on billboards it's also suing the city of deny but are an ultra orthodox district just east of tel aviv which has been removing women from local ads for example the leader of another left party zippy livny shown in yellow was erased from this ad leaving only her male colleagues livni responded . with the video of her standing in front of the billboard and voicing her criticism but there was a potentially i'm not that's not my face that they're asking to raise those or you'll think face is i was rarely women over fifty percent of the population that's your voice men and women who want israel to be a liberal state join the fight against this. that think that's how it should be.

i think it's it's wrong to blur the face of 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 a very plain with you this is a free country we've asked the city authorities to comment on the issue it's not just featuring human women that have been banned last year an image of a smurfette from the comic strip the smurfs was removed from a billboard but i but i thought who said they were concerned that the cartoon character might incite the feelings of the city's residents we spoke with. former deputy mayor of the israeli city of it and she told us that orthodox communities ignore the law when it comes to religious rules. in a bucket it is an ultra orthodox community they feel that they have the right although 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 vera 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 i'm plenty more stories still to come here on your one star program we're back in just. with this manufactured consensus public will. when the

ruling class is protect themselves. in the final larry go live to the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. you know world of big partisan. and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.

i could have you with us today a taxi protests in madrid entering the third day with thousands of demonstrators taking to the streets demanding tougher regulations for riot hailing services such as. now one demonstrator is in hospital in a serious condition after apparently trying to jump onto a moving car during the rally many of the protesters are wearing the yellow high visibility jackets a clear nod to the mass protests that have been. some of the city's main roads have been blocked as a result of the rally the protesters have been burning tires and rubbish bins a similar scenes have been witnessed in barcelona that's been going on since last week. kind of those ambassador to the u.s. says canadians are the ones at the receiving end of china's fury over american efforts to get the c.f.o.

of chinese electronics way extradited. i don't like that it is our citizens who are being punished the americans are the one seeking to have the full force of american law brought against men one joe and yet we are the ones who are paying the price while ways chief financial officer was detained in december in vancouver at the request of washington or they were released on bail she was accused of violating u.s. sanctions against iran and the arrest caused a diplomatic rift between canada and china with beijing detaining two canadian citizens and even recently to sentencing a third to death for a drug smuggling meantime in china urges both canada and the u.s. to correct their mistakes and free mismatch. now much anyone with normal judgments can see that canada has made a serious mistake on this issue from the very beginning we age the canadian side to immediately release men one show and protect tenet just cement rights we also

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. the canadian journalist told us the dispute has created an impossible dilemma for the country's government. for the canadian judicial system this is shameful but it's being done because of the pressure coming from the united states and canada have not too many ways to resist that pressure china could hurt sound i guess united states can hurt and even more so out of being a small country if defenseless country really just has to to opt for the lesser of two evils the united states to whatever like no matter what and so canada can show we some anger and. the embassador can be speaking on the news or you know to american authorities making statements.

not in a position to argue very much with the united states and will have to suffer the consequences imposed by china. not have something on the slightly more gentle side of news in a rather unlikely ton of events a homeless man has been given a chance to pieces life back together it's a special story unfolding in southern russia and it is all thanks to one person. you know. i came home from work and saw a man lying on the floor where the browns are now standing it was cold outside although. i invited the man to my place i said come in let's have some tea and then we'll see what we can do.

i handed the phone over to sergey the moment he said hello i heard his daughter song and she then started asking him. why did you do that surrogate to started crying but his still tried to calm her down saying don't cry my little girl don't cry. i was crying hysterically when i heard from dias i bought a nice b.k. and rushed across the way he was.

like and she was wishing all of god's apprentices were happy to lend heat retention they've donated money to pay for his rehabilitation everyone's chipping in to help . every iraq out the program for this hour here on out international thank you for spending some of your wednesday with us here in moscow and we're back soon with more. on our child's seemed wrong wrong why don't we all just don't hold. me the world

yet to shape out just didn't come out to call and engagement because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. another russia gave bombshell fizzles this time it was buzz feed this prompted the intercept beyond buzz feed the ten worst most embarrassing us media failures on the trump russia story this hatred for trump destroyed the profession of journalism. in twenty four to you know bloody revolution to the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know here i mean put me in the.

school in the middle of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took part in this to do over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. they were going on the ground in the wake of devastating british back bombing of the capital cities of yemen and syria coming up on the show as global elites gather in switzerland for the be a systems lucky to have him caught in a davos today we question claims by n.g.o.s that neoliberal policies in the lead to nearly half the world's population living in the stream poverty and we speak to

a journalist on the ground in yemen's capital sanaa where an air force trained and sold weapons through by teresa mayes government kill civilians again in the world's worst humanitarian crisis from the news israel gives a wrong ugh geography lesson while tribal tensions detonates in derry all this more coming up in today's going underground perfessor goes. it's to the slow he's risking down a dark horse where today political leaders like bolton r.-o. and netanyahu meet with millionaire celebrities like bono and david blane to discuss improving the state of the world will oxfam also wants to improve the state of the world to talk about the ngos public good or private wealth report out in the past forty eight hours as head of advocacy tony piers tony thanks for coming on so we had broome magician david blaine briggs william yesterday today it's i.m.f. boss christian the god of borneo. they're discussing something called the financing gap only about your report of a kind of financing gap absolutely say the report that some have released this week

demonstrates the way in which wealth is being concentrated in the hands of a small number of people in the world at the moment so in the last year what we've seen is that billionaires around the world have seen their wealth by twelve percent two point five billion dollars a day whilst the world's fifty percent poorest people are three point eight billion people have seen their wealth declined by eleven percent which is five hundred million dollars a day say what we're seeing is you know this real divide increasing with a small number of people. create a huge amount of wealth themselves at the top of the top of that picture and then you know vast number of people living really on very little money and with very little well then you know what we see consistently is that wealth days undertaxed actually. we see the poorest people in the world paying huge amounts of tax in income tax will be eighty whilst wealth is is not really taxed appropriately and

then very little money being able to be spent on public services like health and education that could be a real equalizer for those people living in poverty so i want to get on to those issues figures like i mean it's apologize to the viewers about it but there are so many statistics two hundred sixty two million children and able to go to to school . ten thousand dying every day that seven a minute during this interview because of lack of health care what makes it different this time around because we're always hearing these kinds of reports is it just got worse and worse the really important thing is to look beyond those massive numbers and statistics and think about the real people whose lives recently i was in nairobi and went to visit a school that i saw children he was able to go to that school because they couldn't afford the basics of a uniform that meals at school each day and were going to work instead and the reality is if we're going to even up that picture and get these people out of

poverty what we need is for them to be able to have access to the kinds of public services that taxes on wealthy pay for well we'll get to kenya numbers just a few on the other at least hope to of course kenyan government spend a lot of. arguably today in downforce the strategic partners are arms companies be systems boeing and lockheed martin to be discussing the kinds of issues presumably in your report in davos in a grouping would suit egypt burton is the responsible if you believe the killing maiming or displacing of millions of people yeah i mean every year what we see is these very influential and powerful people coming together in davos to talk about how they change the state of the world make the world a fireplace in the past they've talked about inequality heavy think about those people at the table the reality is that they have the power to do something about this to influence all or make laws that would see the wealthiest people in the world paying their share of taxes and also you see those poorest people in the

world have access to a vital public services that can save their lives jack.
