and as well as president nicolas maduro says that he is ready to talk to the opposition leader but has rejected any possibility of dialogue. i. i. find this whether engulfed in violence and divide between rival leaders we look at what appears to be america's tried and tested recipe for regime change. from

a political advisor to the trump campaign is being released after being arrested by the f.b.i. have been detained on multiple charges as part of the ongoing. the u.s. shutdown is over for now as president reaches a temporary deal with democrats to reopen the government for three weeks. plus parts of the u.s. media and a number of celebrities have been working themselves into a frenzy over donald trump's red to make america great again baseball caps likening them klux klan. very good evening to you this is r.t. international. the venezuelan president says that he is ready for talks with the

opposition leader who has declared himself interim president but the opposition is rejecting any possibility of debate vowing that more people will take to the streets. and the first to be ready for any dialogue should be the president and he's ready for agreements which will take us forward i am personally ready for the dialogue for that one little position of venice well to get out of the traffic which of course. i think he so are you a company us this saturday and sunday brothers to prepare the major demonstration of next week of course we're going back to the streets. illegitimate corrupt incompetent that's how the u.s. is calling the duros regime is the standoff continues to escalate in the venezuelan capital we spoke to former u.s. congressman ron paul who feels it's ironic washington claims he's fighting for democracy there but implementing author terry methods. i think it's going to end up

in violence and we could have a civil war some countries are lining up with him but we've been antagonizing and threatening him and decide that we're going to install a president for them and i would think even the people that might not like manure or shouldn't like settling the dispute is internal they should settle it and i think it is rather ironic for our government to say that they want to take care of venezuela because they're not democratic and we have to take care of it by you know authoritarian approach of us installing a president having a coup and threaten them with military violence because because they're not democratic enough i would hardly say that our position is very democratic we have to do some of the wonders what could happen is they ought to look at us foreign policy the past ten years or so more recently you know and what's happened in syria what has happened earlier on with iraq and afghanistan and libya i mean every time

we go in and say well you need help you need to be american eyes you need to know our good values and and we want you to learn what democracy is all about and we'll give you a little money too if you obey us you know it's always that little tease but it just violates completely and totally the position that i hold and the ron paul institute holds in hate is nonviolence so not getting involved nonintervention ism it's not our business and i'm sure there's some harm done by monsieur oh and others but where is it our job where do we get the moral authority to be the decider and say you are is worse than the southern side that's why we're going to do it. because on the protests still hits in venezuela it's not the first time that washington's been accused of interfering in other countries and causing instability and i guess the it looks at whether events event is whether a following tried and tested. thought seeing an uprising a revolution in. is simple enough. 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 show when they are 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 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 pick a hero like thirty five year old u.s. educated head of the national assembly which as it turns out to the united states has been quietly assisting financially and helping for

a while who would have thought i'd like by now you should have caused enough trouble problems on top of everything out starforce 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. in the and keep 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 an elected president. i'm mike pence the vice president of the united states the united states supports the courageous decision by one god or the president of your national assembly to assert that body's constitutional powers declare madeira your server and call for the establishment of a transitional government now is the time for more direct action to 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 bia columbia recognizes one quite as president of venezuela and will assist in the transition to democracy to liberate the venezuelan people from the dictator brazil has just issued a note recognizing one why do as venezuela's president. will support this

realization in a democracy alongside other countries in the immigrant we recognize and express our full support for the presidency of venezuela assumed by the president of the national assembly one 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 heavy 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 u.s. 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 in 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 table is that the degree to which are all options or worse all options 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. ok let's bring in independent journalist martin summers good evening to you martin seems like the world's kind of splitting now parting down the middle between those who supported your and those who want to see

him. replaced but importantly he still seems on the backing of the military is it going to be possible to move him or not. well obviously having the backing of the military is pretty pretty key and of course is pretty decisive chavez was a left and colonel in the paratroops and often enough in america in the past the military have been the weakest link and of moved against democratic governments that the us didn't like but in this case because there was an attempted coup in two thousand to a lot of the deadwood if you like remove from the military in that what is left is relatively solid for the maturer regime if we can call it that and of course was an attempted assassination attempt in august on the dura with with drones and of course the re the government there blame that on on the opposition and their us allies and we're talking about the world splitting and he's very significant for example that urge to go in turkey has supported with iraq even though he's a part of nato because of course the us tried to remove him some years ago now and

failed and i think that that's probably how this is going to play out here the other day and still there are lots of people were killed in the attempted coup but he remains and he because of what's happened to him he's learning up with the dura even though he's a key nato ally so it's not actually going to be plain sailing for these people who are trying to push this the military's against them at least half the population are against them and key allies like turkey are against men mexico of course are sitting on the fence because abra do is just come to power there he's a you know a left wing politician of long standing and if you go for splitting the world then you may find you've actually split the world but you haven't space it in the way you intended. why are so many countries queuing up to condemn migiro and want him reply surely this isn't really about the accusation that there was an you know a free and fair election that. well you've got you've got basically i was in

colombia in two thousand and five on a delegation law and it's a very divided society there latin american countries are very divided between the small elites which is always dominated the politics of the of the country and a majority which has been shutdowns and there's been a period of reformism across across the region gradually running into the sons as a result of things like the collapse in the oil price which is really undermined the venezuelan economy and of course the other thing is the sanctions been on that as well for years for all sorts of specious reasons and that leads to a situation where there's genuine distress for the ordinary folk and that's that as was suggested in your report that's the playbook that's what happened in chile in the one hundred seventy three they said we're going to make the economy scream there were strikes by truckers all sorts of pots and pans demonstrations on middle class people opposed to under regime this is actually you know britain we've been

here before but i think the venezuelan regime is not going to be easily removed and if there was for example a military intervention from colombia brazil backed up by the us the venezuelan army will resist a lot of people will be killed a bit like syria and i think you know the syrian regime falls reste assad has already expressed his support from a dealer but i think what most significant is the support from mexico and from turkey and i think that probably surprised the people who tried to push for trying to push this i'm just mentioning elections again no germany for example has said that it will recognize as president if a fair and legitimate election isn't how they using this reason is it just an excuse people didn't bother too much about robert mugabe in the way countless countless examples you can give it a cherry picking going to. well it why. well that it's well it's got massive oil reserves it's in what the u.s. regards as its backyard and they're on a roll because of the victory of balsa narrow in brazil and you know the still the

situation in colombia still not clear that's a very divided society in which lots of people being killed by the right wing governments in colombia there's not really free and fair elections in colombia when the foxtrot stood the part in your party. called the ceasefire the one nine hundred eighty s. restored three thousand candidates in elections across colombia all of them every single one was assassinated that was that a democratic country is saudi arabia a democratic country is israel a democratic country all of this stuff is to do with geopolitics and controlling spheres of influence and that's what's going on here i'm afraid it's very sad situation for the ordinary venezuelans because they're caught in the middle of this sanctions on their country in attempt to overthrow the people they've elected but of course there are plenty of people in venezuela who don't want to do in power they tend to be the wealthy people from the in the process suburbs but in the in the barrios the support is pretty solid and the army crucially is not going to

change so it's often great to speak to appreciate your insights martin somers independent journalist my guest. a longtime political advisor of donald trump has been released by police after his arrest and indictment on a number of charges rob just stones detention came as part of the ongoing murder investigation into alleged russian collusion gillum open explains. well roger stone a long time republican strategist going all the way back to the nixon era apparently in the early hours of the morning he was arrested we now have a twenty four page indictment from the f.b.i. and from the federal courts he's essentially being charged with making false statements on multiple occasions witness tampering as well as obstruction now what's interesting is that this arrest is pretty clearly coming down as part of the bob muller investigation into alleged collusion between the trump campaign in the

twenty sixteen election and russia however the word russia does not show up at any point in the indictment we have heard from roger stone now that he has been released and this morning at the crack of dawn twenty nine if b i agents arrived at my home with seventy vehicles with their lights flashing when they could simply have contacted my jersey city and i would be more than willing to surrender voluntarily. and they terrorize my wife my dogs and i would really not guilty to these charges and i will defeat them in order i believe this is a politically motivated investigation i have trouble by the political motivations of the prosecutor and now we have a response from the white house as well sarah huckabee sanders the white house press secretary has pointed out that the arrest and the indictment have nothing to

do with the president and we have donald trump speaking up on twitter about the nature of the arrest and how it was carried out greatest witch hunt in the history of our country new conclusion border coyote's drug dealers and human trafficking is a treated better than who let it sit ins it be then. now this comes after a wave of similar sentiments expressed on social media with many trump supporters and others outraged about the fact that it appears that the f.b.i. may have tipped off c.n.n. about their planned arrest so they could be on the scene to record roger stone being taken away in handcuffs people see this is actually collusion between the f.b.i. and the media done for the purpose of trying to publicly humiliate roger stone a republican strategist so there are big divisions in the united states the special counsel investigation continues there is outrage on one side and joyful celebration on the other side as it appears that roger stone a prominent individual in donald trump's presidential campaign and

a prominent republican party strategist has been arrested it is now facing charges . president trump pounds announced a temporary reopening of the government following of record breaking partial shutdown of thirty five days he said that it came about after a deal was struck with the opposition democrats i am very proud to announce today that we have reached a deal to end the shutdown and reopen the federal government in a short while i will sign a bill to open our government for three weeks until february fifteenth. ok let's get an update on the story from malta america correspondent said a month as the ok sarah this was a surprise i think will be the temporary shutdown how do we get to this point. neal as you know this is the longest shutdown in history now on day thirty five

president trump you heard him planning on tentative lee reopening the government from this longest shutdown who's impacted eight hundred thousand federal workers he has thanked them for those affected by it for their devotion in the face of hardship those are the words he used he will sign a bill that will temporarily reopen the government and will last for three weeks until february fifteenth now no specifics are details were given on what that deal entails senator mitch mcconnell will take that bill to the senate floor for the vote today in hopes that it will reopen the government the partial government shutdown and it tries again trump also mentioned that he will work hard to have those people affected by it to be repaid soon for the all the money that they've lost so back pay he's looking to do that for these federal workers now he also went on to say that border security is a big issue this was one of his biggest campaign promises he is still promising hoping that this is the democrats will come to an agreement with him on that wall

he also said while should not be controversial so he is planning on still working with the democrats who haven't yet budged to get that wall now if a deal is not reached by february fifteenth the deadline that he signed he said he would have to use emergency powers now what that means is that he could declare a national emergency on february fifteenth we'll have to wait and see what he says as far as the state of the union which is scheduled for next tuesday january twenty ninth he was looking for other places to hold on to the union as far as when that will be if that will still take place on tuesday we do not know. but this could be one of the many reasons that he signed that executive bill for now. presses pause on the shutdown still no sign of that war money though many thanks for the monsters that our correspondent in washington d.c. thank you. tom supporters in the u.s.

saw being compared now to members of the ku klux klan the number of media outlets and celebs like in the make america great again to the white hoods of the infamous race is group they patrol explains this is a hat where it says make america great again they now call it the maggot hat this is a kook 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 in 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 how the 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 and the 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 magpie 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. with the law. when the first. point. is help your cause you're. the i have just been asked to leave the store trying to get your hands if you do your house my hand i don't feel. like. yeah. yeah so who knows how far that kind of bullying may get soon some in 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. greece is not really ratified the deal which will see a name change for the neighboring country of macedonia to north macedonia. honored to be announcing to you the result of the roll call vote the drug deal from the minister of foreign affairs to rectify the final agreement to resolve the disputes and to establish a strategic partnership agreement has been approved by a majority. of the. earlier protests against the vote was seen across the country more than one hundred thirty people were detained when violence erupted so far the deal being approved opinion remained divided among greeks. degree man has not gone through it's illegal one hundred fifty three votes in favor are not in our the constitution

states that explicitly support is required which means one hundred eighty m.p.'s. and i want this issue must be solved but not in this way this be the government was in describing. to him it was an agreement that should have been reached twenty years ago because the more we delayed the worse matters god was part of a stand against macedonia is a name greece had previously vento to the country's membership of nato and the e.u. now a greek m.e.p. told us after the deal athens will no longer stand in the way of its neighbors ambitions. greece is. because of the name of another republic as long as the second image is that. over three years i don't think that there will be any other kind of obstacle as far as the day victoria research are for certain for the course of the year to join the e.u. this is the to the people of so much to do here now to say whether it's going to do

with as long as there must it is a by did by this agreement which is an international agreement now but there is no problem with greece to this date about not there and most of the future they have to decide by themselves. around two. de thousand nine hundred girls and women could be trafficked to mali and forced into prostitution that's according to a new report by nigeria's anti trafficking agency reportedly being held deep inside forests with almost no chance of escape the girls and women ranging in age from sixteen to thirty many have been tricked into thinking they were headed for jobs in hospitality in malaysia others were kidnapped on the way to or from school director general the agency says that they are held in terrible slave like conditions we spoke to godwin morcha who's from the agency which issued the report. will be very bush with the goods we. see bill dismount big job indeed the number of pretty downs

we do absolutely to be conservative because this is where to let me. really know is that when we get this traffic to rally. to. be about we're important it we don't do to really. see if france which is the current c. one of the finished. did. to get to rescue these girls we need to all brick loosely we did not do it is especially. under various eras regions that have different authorities then i don't if we don't use there are so many jews. who are actually moving to abuse madame's. we don't get a bill report them to do duties duties we issued in this is really the instructions for arrest and risk in un previously highlighted the problem of human trafficking in nigeria calling for international funding in areas where human traffickers

operate most probably more career gain says that apart from rescue efforts it's essential to work with women to teach them how to spot the traffickers traps. we do recognize that some are deceived let's say so so if you're an issue not only the says that the ghost of privacy is working with heroes and war but now as the american view gretchen's communication to talk with the community dialogues to work with community leaders really does the dance and all that to change to do is to change values and to reinforce positive behavior that i was kind of the tendency to just my group was a. holistic approach apart from the issue of risking those guys who were already there when back in a massive but when this creature not only was i not so. sure that i would

protect me to this sentiment scorch. about with our backs on top stories for you and often. i. learned that. life. is done. and the instant 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 plans is the democratic party and america ready to take a seat. we sat talking to the past couple of years some feedback and. peace islands a tough day but the reality is they may still be a ship and. have it in this fine lair of micro plastics. very. the biggest thing that shocked me is that we've never had an empty troll. like the honda.
