from moscow this is aussie international welcome to the program. the venezuelan president nicolas maduro has severed stepper mattick ties with the us accusing it of trying to stage a coup in his country soft to donald trump officially recognize the opposition leader though spend a swale as interim president. the citizens of venezuela have suffered for too long at the hands of the illegitimate regime today i was officially recognize the president of the venezuelan national assembly one grade zero is the interim president of venezuela. is complying with my role in the oath i took for people to respect and make up this just dependence. public five to. why did you

break political ties with the imperialist government the united states was going to trump with speaking just minutes after. declared himself acting. bible crowds have been gathering in caracas in support of the opposition until safe and president meant according to local reports at least sixteen people have died in the end rest of the past twenty four hours as now heavy security presence in the capital in the streets of maupin has been a test while at this point we've got a statement from the white house u.s. president donald trump is conferring official recognition as interim president on to the leader of the national assembly and an opposition figure in venezuela now this comes on the heels of much anticipation and many people predicting that trump would take this move we had a recent video statement from mike pence who is the vice president of united states he gave this video statement in support of venezuelan oppositionists and against

the elected president of venezuela. i'm mike pence the vice president of the united states the united states supports the courageous decision by one god to the president of your national assembly to assert that body's constitutional powers declare madeira your super nicolas maduro is a dictator with no legitimate claim to power in addition to trump recognizing as the interim an interim president of venezuela he also called and basically made a statement supporting moves by juan wedo to quote restore constitutional legitimacy to the venezuelan government now many observers have have basically looked on this as a call from the united states for the venezuelan president and the venezuelan leadership to be overthrown and this would be in defiance of a supreme court ruling in venezuela now interestingly peru canada and brazil have

both followed suit and then followed the moves of the united states and recognized wedo as the interim president of venezuela at this point we have heard from from the white house there was actually you know a comment from president trump that nothing was planned regarding venezuela but all options were on the table this follows suit of a long number of statements condemning the venezuelan government by the trumpet ministration as well as from the previous administration of barack obama however this does significantly escalate the confrontation between the usa and venezuela's leadership as at this point the united states is no longer recognizing nicolas maduro who was elected and inaugurated as venezuela's president they are conferring recognition onto the leader of the national assembly. who has himself not been elected. quite oh has aged the venice well i'm a traitor support him against my door but in a statement the defense minister pledged to support for the government the soldiers of the whole do not accept the president imposed in the shadow of obscure interests

or illegally self-proclaimed the armed forces defend our constitution and are the guarantor of national sovereignty the white house stance on president mentor already seems to be filtering down to social media and the latest development instagram which is owned by facebook has for me if the blue verifies tekken majoris account and left it in place for his rival though he was also throwing it supports behind the venezuelan opposition the e.u. strongly calls for the start of an immediate political process leading to free and credible elections in conformity with the constitutional order the e.u. fully supports the national assembly as the democratically elected institution whose powers need to be restored and respected i hope that all of europe will unite in support of democratic forces in the news and like murder of the parliamentary assembly including one goh i don't have

a democratic mandate from the new zealand citizens antiwar activists gloria larry says the u.s. has long been trying to get rid of the government in venezuela it's been preceded this turn by the united states by several years of economic sanctions and by several of terms militarily by small groups of national guard or army individuals inside of the venezuelan government to try to assassinate president my vote oh my god it was elected twice there were other opposition parties that were allowed to run some chose not to and there are. contending forces in the country it's a polarized situation but it's thanks largely to the united states and to menace well and corporations that have carried out years of hoarding of economic destabilization but now we see the hand of the united states openly calling for a coup. the terms fake news and propaganda have become all

too common when it comes to discussions about journalism but now one french t.v. channel is teaching children how to spot a photos a staged which news outlets are telling the truth r.t. charlotte dubinsky has the details well this is billed as being an educational program for children aged around eleven to fifteen in the idea is that when they go on this program they participate in things like topical quizzes about things that are happening in the news at the time also they go on hunts for clues and then try and piece together the information so all signs very tame and very innocent but is it now in reality in its latest program escaping news has focused on one thing in particular and that is russia and most importantly on the president of russia president putin and also on our channel ati now it seems to be

a fairly one sided view of those two subject matters when it comes to russia just to give you an example close to the start of the program young broidery is brought in on a video and he is of ukrainian heritage and he's asked to describe who he thinks president putin is and what president putin is actually like this is what he says so we're in the arms of words and of course involves grew close enough pretty soon the door to the with their low suv aldrin above them on the front of the primroses well throughout the program president putin is described many times as being all thora tarion he's described as being somebody that suppresses any opposition in russia somebody who controls the media and somebody who controls his image what evidence is presented for that well there are lots of lovely images of president putin riding horseback with

a naked two. also out fishing and also being in military vehicles such as a helicopter showing they say that this is how he controls his image and fine tunes what he wants people to see about him then the program moves on to artsy and it targets the channel by suggesting it's propaganda and the evidence again that it provides for that is saying that r.t. is financed by the russian state well there's no secret about that but it's pretty rich given that escape news is broadcast on france four which is a channel funded by the french state well it says that their press freedom in russia is difficult well let me tell you i'm a journalist in france and it is very difficult here to be a journalist particularly if you're a journalist who works for r.t. now since president machen was elected almost two years ago r.t. have been pretty much banned from being accredited to almost every major event that

involves the french government but even before president was elected during that campaign time r.t.e. journalists who were accredited for events were actually told when they turned up to events no you can't come in your r t so the question now remains and what party is done is we've actually reached out to the programme makers of escape news to say to them to ask them why they felt that they needed to put side across a one sided biased point of view when it came to r.t. and president putin and russia in generally and also r.t. has reached out to press groups to ask them what they think of this as well as humanitarian groups because the question really is now is this program being used as a tool of propaganda against the russian state against russian media and if that's the case are they not politicizing children and potentially brainwashing the next generation or the of france. we took to the streets of paris to see what people had

to say about the program. some of the extra inch and i'm astonished that they teach our country that other countries are bad here we talk about manipulations by the major on the internet we would be better explaining to our kids not to trust what is on the internet or to trust only verified information the same should be done to adults as well but i don't believe the world is that white it is more difficult than this it is important to build awareness and to develop critical thinking not to tell them what's good or bad it's point them to decide this in the prospects are so i don't think it is good to tell case other countries are bad it is up to kids to shape their own opinion yes it is a politicize ation of children we should not influence children we should give them basic education but not turn flynn's them about other countries they don't know because independent journalists lucre of a believes the french t.v. channel is deliberately manipulating the opinions of youngsters. in this instance

it's real money and if you look at the different episodes of this little game of course it's fun for the kids and they don't realize that they're being manipulated they don't and a head of state like the putin is a head of state of a large country you must be respected the same for donald trump the same for every head of state the same formless you might call because i wouldn't seems you're my whole made up like a drag queen or on french t.v. or anywhere else that would disappear very quickly it is very strange to see that the press which is in good hoots with the politicians in most instances in the west on their scope got far i mean this will not remain unpunished i think there will be a big debate in the ethics committee of the journalist association draws i'm sure. the speaker of the u.s. house of representatives has counseled the president state of the union speech due

to the government shutdown donald trump gave a statement condemning the may. but the state of the union speech has been cancelled but it should follow suit because she doesn't want to hear the truth she doesn't want the american public to hear what's going on. it's afraid of the truth of the super left democrats the radical democrats what's going on of that for you shock you democrat majority leader nancy pelosi said trump would only be able to address congress with the shutdown is a juice the security concerns trump a congress so locked in a standoff over the democrats' refusal to approve funding for a wall on the mexico border the shutdown has reached a thirty three making it by far the longest in u.s. history around eight hundred thousand federal workers have been left without pay they include staff of the coast guard traffic control and homeland security. well

to discuss this we now cross live to dave lindorff found an editor of the news web site this can't be happening to at nats i walk into the program now trump accused nancy pelosi of canceling his speech because she doesn't want people to know the truth what do you make of all this. because. we appear to have lost connection with our guest but we're trying to regain that as soon as possible so now a more news after the break. another

russia gave bombshell fizzles this time it was buzz feed this prompted the intercept to write beyond buzz feed the ten worst most embarrassing u.s. media failures on the trump russia story this hatred trump destroyed the profession of journalism. the value because it is that it is a store of value it is hard money and it is predominately useful for the poorest to move the poor or you are the greater the need you have for sound money.

welcome back to we can return now to our top story the speaker of the u.s. house of representatives has counseled the president state of the union speech to to the government shutdown well we are rejoined now by day financial found an editor of the news website this can't be happening to net welcome back to the program now as i was saying elliot trump excuse to see pelosi of counseling his speech because she doesn't want people to know the truth what do you make of all of this. well first of all he has every right to submit it in writing and it would be printed in the congressional record where it would be fully available and also seen reported in the news but the other thing is that the president has the ability to cause the. networks to give a thought to an interest to the american public any time he wants to do it i don't

think the president has ever really been turned down going to the national media which obviously are licensed by the federal government and therefore he has a lot of power. and say i want to make an address to the nation so you know what he wants is the backdrop of the whole congress. you know when he's giving his speech he wants to have all the cheering republican senators and representatives behind him and you know the image of the democrats not clapping so it's really all image he wants the image the less he doesn't want to give him the image and there isn't a rule that a president has to give a state of the union address well nancy pelosi has reason for canceling the space that homeland security stuff and going unpaid to find that explanation convincing now that's that's ludicrous she's really should just say i don't want to give him a stage to you know promote his holding the budget hostage if she did

that it would be a lot more honest and probably should have more support for doing it then making up a hokie idea that you know it wouldn't be safe but term though has all fed concessions to the democrats to end the shutdown has all fed ex or protections the so-called dream as illegal immigrant illegal migrants who went to the country as children so why then did the democrats tend him down do you think. the democrats' position is that they don't like the whole concept of the budget being held hostage as a way of legislating it's actually not the way it's supposed to be done. the president is supposed to see that the laws are faithfully. faithfully processed and engaged in and congress is supposed to pass laws if the president says congress to pass the laws and hasn't passed the ones i want so i'm not going

to allow the government to function is it is basically the president going on strike and it said it's not what the constitution envisions there's actually no. nothing in the constitution about the president holding the budget hostage detail thoughts on the story day for lyndall founder and editor of the news website this combi happening to us thank you crazy system we've got errors in. the global news network c.n.n. is expanding into new markets opening and put today's language station in brazil but it's the team heading the operation is raising more than a few eyebrows. presumes

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

and this isn't. some people might try to tell you that it's a banana you might even start to believe this is opinion. but it's not. isn't. quite a few hours ago now we asked for a response from c.n.n. to these appointments although we've yet to receive a reply. meanwhile another us media outlet buzz feed has again insisted a controversial article published is true that's despite it being branded as not a cure it's by the office of special counsel robert muller the story alleged donald trump ordered his former lawyer to lie to congress about dealings with moscow. 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 evil one theme 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 is a 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. then 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 the 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 parities

other little stunt detailed in the article this upset some student who set up a dating website rejection hard line 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 more to pull lies about me and betrayed me as an arrogant jerk who was bragging about how i was told the new york city rejection line reportedly 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 this information in mobilizing and defaming people buzz feed continues the family tradition of these when it's not posting these sixteen adorable pops. we've asked buzz feed to
