venezuela president nicolas maduro orders the closure of this and the city in the us itself to washington recognize the opposition leader in venezuela as the country's interim president. i wanted to do in venezuela the president is elected by washington and of course they take anyone from the streets he wants to be a president. that would find his way there engulfed in violence and divide it between two rival presidents

we take a look at what appears to be america's tried and tested recipe for the regime change plus also to come past the u.s. media and celebrities to hit hashtag donald trump's make america great again baseball caps and liken them to the hoods of the ku klux klan plus also on the way an american iranian journalist who's really stuff to spending ten days in u.s. custody speaks to us about her arrest. most of the time i was in solitary ok i was locked up i couldn't come out they said that you were on suicide watch suicide watch. i mean i'm definitely not going to kill myself. or the welcome you're watching out international where it's just gone two pm here in moscow not finished while i'm president nicolas maduro has ordered his diplomats to leave the. u.s.

he announced he was severing diplomatic ties with washington after the trumpet ministration backed opposition leader one who's declared himself interim president of the latin american country but euro has also accused of being america's puppet. i wanted to do even his way that the president is elected by washington and of course they take anyone from the street who wants to be a president nicolas maduro has cut diplomatic ties between venezuela and the united states from what we understand the venezuelan embassy in the united states in washington d.c. has closed i have decided to include diplomatic and consular staff and from the united states includes our embassies and consulates in that country. was an opposition figure he's part of the national assembly and in front of a crowd of his supporters he recently took an oath and declared himself to be the interim president of venezuela saying that nicolas manure all the elected president

who was just recently re inaugurated is not legitimate now he's gotten support from brazil argentina and sheila and all of them basically following the lead of u.s. president donald trump trump declared that one way to was indeed the interim president of venezuela even though no election took place in order to get him that title now more recently in the aftermath of trump's recognition of wedo we heard some rather fiery words from u.s. secretary of state mike pompei oh the time for debate is done. the regime former president nicolas maduro is illegitimate the united states is ready to provide more than twenty million in humanitarian assistance to the people of venezuela. these funds are to help them cope with the severe food food and medicine shortages and i or other impacts of the country's political and economic crisis the public in venezuela has been somewhat divided with two people claiming to be the president of venezuela the situation could escalate very rapidly that would not only have

implications in venezuela but could have very global implications as well. i'm reporting that when is why it is embassador to russia told us why he thinks what is happening is maddening. it's completely ridiculous to think that we can listen to or accept a person who proclaims himself president that would be as if would recognize hillary clinton as president just because trump won the election with fewer awards than her but nobody ever raised this issue as they have their own internal rules these rules are agreed internally so why should we allow the u.s. to dictate to us what to do in our country. but it's not the first time washington has been accused of interfering in other countries affairs when gas they have takes a look now weather events in venezuela are following a tried and tested recipe. starting an uprising a revolution is simple enough first comes the pressure sanctions built up

gradually first it was a few officials and then they sanctioned the president and state companies and the government itself through deed and word they helped choke then they said well a into a crisis we are evaluating all of our policy options as to what can we do to create a change of conditions were either liberal decides he doesn't have a future or we can return. the government processes back to their constitution we are not going to tolerate the dictatorship he's trying to create if venezuelan people deserve better than what the regime of nicolas maduro offers them now that the country and people are in economic misery and you vilified its leaders because he wrote like thirty five year old u.s. educated head of the national assembly which as it turns out the united states has been quietly assisting financially and helping for

a while who would have thought. by now you should have caused enough trouble problems on top of everything out stuff even the app a little into the streets the more noise the better and you mustn't let things calm down keep shouting keep agitating god. oh. oh. oh oh oh oh oh oh you're going. in the and the chaos the confusion comes a special moment when lul breaks down when. loyalties crumble when brother turns on brother in the street partly thanks to you that moment do something crazy

like denounce the government proclaim a new and elected president paula. i'm mike pence the vice president of the united states the united states supports the courageous decision by one gado the president of your national assembly to assert that body's constitutional powers declare madeira or your syrup or and call for the establishment of a transitional government now is the time for more direct action get all your friends on board as many nations to recognize one go edo as president quickly as possible as no going back now alone b.-a colombia recognizes one quite as president of venezuela and will assist in the transition to democracy to liberate the venezuelan people from the dictator rather brazil has just issued a note recognizing one why go as venezuela's president. will support this recession

in a democracy alongside other countries in the immigrant we recognize and express our full support for the presidency of venezuela a seemed by the president of the national assembly one quite though it is clear that nicolas maduro is not the legitimate leader of venezuela so the united kingdom believes that plan is the right person to take venezuela forward there's every pressure from the u.s. certainly all of the allies i mean countries like under us that are allied with the united states are going to be expected to parrot this line if you go back to one nine hundred seventy three in the attempt to overthrow salvador allende it was exactly the same playbook we're watching a replay these are the kinds of tactics that the american government is used to overthrow regimes that it considers hostile to us business interests certainly smaller countries will feel the pressure especially within latin america from the united states to play the game you see if your country just so happens to be in the

americas you're in washington's hemisphere which it seems justifies medley. interfering and changing governments at will but just to be sure bully them let them know that if you don't get what you want you'll beat the lights out of them and take what you want. without considering anything but all options are on the job. which is all options or what it's all options with and there you go sparking uprisings one o one now this may all take some practice tweak here or there but it works tried and tested time and time again but the consequences are a whole other story more ghastly of there was a crisis in venezuela is rapidly escalated over the past few days local journalists notice a goatee has been in the thick of the unrest in caracas. after

a relatively calm year venice well a scene is person violence again on the streets after four days of protest when you see its people reportedly were killed during these acts of violence on the streets and it's all in a position declared as president of venezuela while nicolas maduro stays at the presidential palace after days protests and violence continue and escalated during the day i. i. i i. i asked her deposition rally the violence continued to escalate throughout the night and is probably to continue to lead in good and then it's coming days where the venezuela crisis is split much of the world to right leaning latin american governments are backing one point zero

while the e.u. has called for fresh elections though it hasn't formally recognized why though as president support for the jury meanwhile has been voiced by china and russia and in latin america by bolivia cuba mexico is also back in the direct. sun. you must respect those if you don't respect the ballot box this is not democracy it is a totalitarian mindset as a person who believes in democracy the announcement by president trump shocked me more when someone just because of the focus on the. way he runs his is on the micro. the person who declared himself as president was elected as a member of problem was speaker of the parliament and head of the opposition but he was not elected president we witnessed who had been here in turkey back in july fifteenth two thousand and sixteen where our own military bought that on all of us

but it was our own people who went with their bare arms against the the military and they start equipment if anyone tries to interfere with that people will do whatever it takes to make sure that they will quote used to run the government. some have a key certainly does have double standards in their support of one why that. i opt to they would go election up make a less mature and make twenty eighty in europe supports the restoration of democracy i salute the courage of the hundreds of thousands of the desert islands from marching for the freedom i . i should i side with the millions of frenchmen who are complaining about

a president who is harming the french people i condemn any acts of hooliganism and violence without exception. i. was funny this remarks raise certain questions doesn't help the telling people do they contribute to the well being of a telling people which should be the preoccupation of the italian government and then believes in or do they change anything in the french political situation i don't believe so either so i think these are useless remarks and i want to say more about them as of course the on frankly i. think it's called diplomacy mccaughan wants to have a good image approach even though in france he's seen in a bad light and his popularity has fallen seize the l.o.'s protest he wants to tighten their laws here against demonstrators i don't look like you know it's sort

of a double standard he supports such movements abroad but we are not being taken into consideration i don't know why mccraw bothers to make such comments if he's not listening to us at the same time. speaks of democracy but they democracy he has here is a plutocracy the democracy of the rich it is the most absurd statement when for the last ten weeks. we've had people rioting all over the place in france it's a very strange thing to say i don't think it will go down very well that class i don't think they would think it was a very clever thing to upset bearing in mind as we both said as france has a serious problem with probably a good result i'm sure violently criticised it for us i mean it's ludicrous you just can't believe that these people are unable to look in the mirror and see how ludicrous their statements are. multiple explosions have rocked

a shopping district in china's northeastern city of chang churn killing one person . unverified reports say explosive devices were being thrown from a building at around three pm local time and one video also shows what's said to have been a blast on the thirtieth floor where the only confirmed victims found the building was evacuated and firefighters are currently at the scene a criminal case has been opened. i don't from supporters are being compared to members of the ku klux klan and a number of media outlets and celebrities to have likened their make america great again to the white hoods of the infamous racist group as. this is a hat where it says make america great again they now call it the maggot hat this

is a cook look square hoot they used to terrorize fried african americans and those different shapes eras purposes however this make america great again hat is just as maddening and frustrating and triggering for me to look at as a k.k.k. hood. many people have called donald trump of filthy racist in the past what's up with this new wave of happy hate now even though something that's now compared to the k.k.k. fashion has been worn by african-americans or the l.g.b. t.q. community well just remember that white teenagers versus native american vets situation the viral video sweeping the internet of a mob of maggie wearing high school students surrounding a native american chanting and drumming in the nation's capital it is disturbing students mocking native american dad some of them harassing and jeering at a native american elder so much story was twisted as we learned from videos that

emerged later as you can see the teen dubbed as a shameless bully was just standing still and smiling at the man with the drum who had come up to him but that's not important because the student was wearing a maggot hat people who judge me based off one expression and they've gone from there to titling me and labeling me as a racist person do you think if you weren't wearing that hat this might not have happened or it might have been different that's possible oh the had does mean so much and again don't forget that from now on in the minds of so many people people whose voices matter the red mark a hat is the new white hood without white boys being able to empathize with other people humanity will continue to destroy itself. and so it's probably only natural that americans wearing maggots have gotten themselves in trouble.

being. in the throes of. sports. help your cause your. i've just been asked to leave the store trying to get your hands if you do your house my hand i don't. like . that. so who knows how far that kind of bowling may get soon some of the media have tried very hard to make you associate mr trump with the k.k.k. now with this hat situation it must have become a much easier job you are trying to and i still had at least interior minister has taken a swipe at the foreign affairs chief in iraq over migration will have a look at the details just after this break.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. and instead the media darling and certainly a fresh face the newly minted congresswoman alexandria ocasio cortez is rattling some democratic establishment cage's she calls herself a democratic socialist and she has some big clients is the democratic party and america ready for a seat. were. you the right. who will be able through all. of us who are

all in all the. big related to. brush up. again our recently released american iranian journalist is urging people to join her protest in washington d.c. later on friday that after she was held for ten days in u.s. federal custody earlier was a hashemi spoke to our town see about what happened. i was flown private plane. to d.c. and then met with a whole lot of that taken to the f.b.i. take the f.b.i.

headquarters. was. my picture was taken monk chance they took my d.n.a. no one has read you the rights no one has still yet read you the rights. no one ever read me my rights my rights were not read they said that you were on suicide watch suicide watch. i mean i'm definitely not going to kill myself. i tell you what it concerns me and she because i'm thinking well you know maybe they have something up their sleeves here most of the time i was in solitary k. i was locked up i couldn't come out and i member once being returned coming back from one of the court hearings and all the prisoners were out and so i entered and the guard stopped me no and then all the prisoners had to get back through another door. oh. they couldn't be closed to me omar's

a he works for press t.v. was taken into custody on charity the thirteenth while visiting family in the state of missouri the court of justice confirmed that she had been questioned by the f.b.i. as a material witness but didn't specify in which case the iranian government as well as press freedom organizations express their anger over the incident well before her nice people protested in washington d.c. enteron demanding the journalist be let go i say family released a statement saying her treatment was unfair. this was never just about marzia his simming this is about the fact that any of us muslim and non muslim can be imprisoned without charge in the united states my son who was with me trying to get on that flight instinct would just and. he did not get on that flight in denver which which i had told him to the f.b.i. i was with him and accompanied him the whole night. till he was not under arrest but actually he current and my hears my other kids if he hadn't been there your

children were not led to just like you disappeared. what i realize is how easy it. weren't them to make someone disappear. he was. that no one would have known. where my mom. arrests it. shall cause not charged with the crime and. wow i definitely saw it first hand the f.b.i. has declined to comment on the incident. at his health is lee's interior minister and deputy prime minister has taken a swipe at the foreign affairs chief federica maurine he said she's forgotten her italian roots as the considers shutting down the italy led search and rescue operation for migrants in the mediterranean sea. the person who represents us in

europe was put in that position by the tower and left quarter of the now after being appointed supergoddess how to be in the towel in the meanwhile salvini could face trial over his refusal to let a group of migrants disembark from a rescue vessel last year that after of course initially overruled a previous ruling by prosecutors to drop the charges the politician known for his hard stance on migration is suspected of abusing his power and holding people against their will which salvini reacted by taking to twitter saying that he could face up to fifteen years behind bars he also said the decision had led left him speechless adding though that he feared nothing he vowed to continue defending its borders from illegal migrants independent political analyst alexandra bruno told us a lot of italians do feel they have been abandoned by the e.u. . lee's been asking for help from europe and other countries to deal with the migrant problem for

a long time but he has not got much response and that front so if you took a poll right now of italians vini might be the most popular politician because whatever salvini is doing has worked in the numbers. of illegal migrants coming on to italian shores has decreased sharply since he came into power he has the support of a lot of italian people and he probably has the support of a lot of the time people who aren't publicly supporting him. in public they may say something. more. and in private they may express different concerns. national that's how things are looking here today we're back again at the top of the.

you know world of big partisan movie lot and conspiracy 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 for watching closely watching the hawks. make this manufacture consent to step into the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the final. lift is only the one percent. to ignore middle of the

room signal. the real news is really. need. to. be settled in the face of the here comes back and it's a nice islands off there but the reality is there may still be a shit and. have it in this fine lair of micro plastics. sealed. the biggest thing that shocked me is that we've never had an empty. like the contents of the something of an albatross. people often think of and they just throw them into the water as disposal it may not be harmful for that little fish that eats one fragment a classic but once it makes its way up to us in the food chain it's getting to

levels that are harmful. reflect there's someone else moving inside of me or controlling my body. the byproduct of that drug is the cause like severe depression. because it would only need one to zombie it's crazy. you know we don't have to do anything it's not our fault since clay z. and all that. took years to combat it takes a long time to get rid of. us veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after the

people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either there already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the circulating branches off that says we're going to attack and destroy the government and in seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with their money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war surely we can risk some discomfort for an easy or. in other words you know you which because of the both issue should go and really one that can speak with you what you. it was a q.

. it posole cause. as up and as long as it will who read story when you know it's not any day. for you when you go to use some of those artful but it gets on this list and it's good to go. slow to slow it is when you know how do you clean the destroying important that is no. one did it step on them. and slow play. the hero status of step on bond was short lived in two thousand and ten victoriano covert was elected president this time the international community had no doubts about the legitimacy of the elections in january two thousand and eleven victoriana coverts repealed the hero title of bond era. almost four years into his presidency though another revolution shook ukraine unfortunately this one was anything.
