nothing of an album. people obviously come in they just throw them into the water as disposal it may not be harmful for that little fish that eats one fragment of plastic but once it makes its way up the food chain it's getting to levels that are harmful. i have to. climb to the top of my humble three in the morning i will. take. venezuela's president nicolas maduro says he's ready to talk to the opposition to try and resolve the country's political crisis but. political advice to. offer

a number of charges are brought against him by the probe. from someplace. and. the son of a politician you could have a good with me but that's not the case and. claims he's a president. is for yet more protests. and i think he's more president for the british he obviously doesn't come from you know lower income brackets he can't understand the everyday problems of french people live in.

well it's just after eleven eleven am now here in moscow let's get into the top stories. the u.s. secretary of state says he will urge the u.n. security council to recognize venezuela's self declared interim president the opposition leader or one quite go and as well as elected president nicolas my daughter says he is ready for talks but the opposition has rejected his offer instead of people to hit the streets york if you go i am committed to international dialogue today tomorrow and. i'm committed and personally ready if i have to go and meet this guy climb to the top of mount pico humboldt's at three in the morning and i will have to go naked i'll go naked on foot by car by motorcycle it must be very clear for the world and this regime nobody will take part in this fake dialogue fry the broad brief will all in their violence that has been as well over the last three days. their opposition says there have been us

minus twenty eight killed in anti-government demonstrations the government says they want to stop at the most regimes but the cost model is not the stepping down he instead is proposing dialogue which the opposition read yaks there's been three days of protest mostly in the slums surrounding caracas which used to be from a little which used to be for chavez but now they've come out every night protesting their contras for and against both presidents with russia and china at the forefront of the group from other little while the u.s. argentina brazil and colombia are four way though. around five hundred were arrested during large anti-government rallies in venezuela at one of the protests on wednesday opposition leader one why though symbolically for himself and his interim president venezuelan president nicolas maduro to cut off diplomatic ties with the trump administration after it recognized quite go as the country's

legitimate leader and washington is ramping up the economic pressure on my daughter's government the u.s. treasury has pledged to ensure that mr whyte bill gets control of the country's resources. diplomatic and economic relations between the united states and venezuela must be consistent with the united states recognition of one quite the united states will use its economic and diplomatic tools to ensure that commercial transactions by the venezuelan government including those involving state owned enterprises and international reserves and consistent with this recognition. the statement from the treasury did not specify whether the measures would target venezuela's oil sales of and as well is the fourth largest oil exporter to america and so far washington has stopped short of imposing an embargo however oil prices have already risen now analysts are predicting larger impacts with an ultimate knock on effect in the united states nicolas maduro accuses the us of meddling in

his country's internal affairs and it's not the first time or place that washington has faced such accusations. or the unilateral action out of the soviet union into vying. for the.

stand the freedom fighters are here trying to feel so free. to treat the cooling. we're protecting the libyan people from gadhafi forces. former u.s. congressman and former presidential candidate ron polls says there's

a certain irony in washington's claim to be fighting for democracy in venezuela. 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 issue 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.

all we have to do if somebody wonders what could happen is they ought to look at u.s. foreign policy in 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 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. roger stone a longtime political advisor of the whole trial has been released on bail after being indicted on several charges introduced by special counsel robert. stone's to tension came as part of the ongoing investigation into alleged russian collusion

during the twenty sixteen american presidential elections. now the charges include obstruction making false statements and witness tampering though there is no mention whatsoever of any collusion with russia which is exactly what the probe is supposed to be looking for. and reports. 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 we have heard from roger stone now that he has

been released this morning at the crack of dawn twenty nine f.b.i. agents arrived at my home with seventy vehicles with their lights flashing when they could simply have contacted my teacher he was and i would be more than willing to surrender voluntarily and. they terrorize my wife my dog and i wound the not guilty to these charges and i will defeat them in order i believe this is a politically motivated investigation i am troubled 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 now 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 and we have donald trump speaking up on twitter about the nature of the arrest. greatest witch hunt in the history of our country new solution border coyote's drug dealers and human traffickers are treated better than who alerted c.n.n. to be there to arrest shows desperation on mueller's part i mean sending out two dozen f.b.i. men to arrest him. dickless show of force and and the indictment there's nothing in the indictment about collusion about russia about any of the things that mueller was this was supposed to be investigating but he's not getting to the bottom of any kind of collusion for the simple reason that i don't think collusion excess. france is bracing for an eleventh weekend of yellow bus

protests coming off the recent remarks by president mccrone in which he portrayed himself as a man of the people protesters have long branded him as only a president of the rich a correspondent takes a closer look. it seems the yellow vest protests have really taken their toll on president just two years ago he was comparing himself to all gort now he's selling a rags to riches story. you know. if i had been born with a silver spoon in my mouth or the son of a politician you could have a go at me but that's not the case the so-called president of the rich wants people to know that he wasn't born rich and he's just like you and me albeit with a personal fortune purported to be almost thirty million euros but as much on star seems to be news diving he did what politicians do best damage control mainly in the form of a nationwide let's get all feelings off our chest exercise otherwise known as the

national debate mostly for fun and i'm not going to talk too much as my goal is to listen to you in a free and fair if there are questions i will answer them but what i want is free to express yourself in the most little respect manner to go on the tour he snubbed the filthy rich at the world economic forum in davos because there's a chance that that might not look so good they're also going to though that this damage control is working with several recent polls showing the president's popularity has been creeping back up so we thought we'd ask people here in paris what do they think is money just another guy from the block. he studied in the elite schools as a risk to transfer to he was made that the french elite is created in this way can't understand the everyday problems of french people living on the minimum wage but it's not really important what he says now he's future actions will define his

presidency i can say he's a president of the rich throughout his career mark on his network with people who were born with silver spoons in their mouths i think he's more president for the british he is a pockets of the big banks he obviously doesn't come from you know lower income brackets you know like some of us do i think he probably tries. i think he's more a president of the rich judging by the looks he has introduced. aside from internal discontent powers also faces external pressure with the italian prime minister accusing france and germany of running the e.u. in their own interests will have more than just a bit later in the program here on r t. u.s. president donald trump has signed a bill temporarily lifting the longest government shutdown in the country's history for the past thirty five days he's been wrangling with democrats in an unsuccessful bid to secure funding for a border war i am very proud to announce today that we have reached

a deal to end the shutdown and reopen the federal government i will make sure that all employees receive their back pay very quickly or as soon as possible for over a month democratic house speaker nancy pelosi has been seen as the main opponent or obstacle to trump's plans for a border wall so for your enjoyment here's a quick recap of the to ing and fro ing. the longest shutdown the longest government shutdown in u.s. history followed workers and contractors lined up for a free meal the air traffic controllers pilots and flight attendants are warning travelers they cannot guarantee their safety. you have the cold you should have no doubt that the affair would get it passed very easily in the house that you would get it nancy i have

a question two seconds and we need border security did she find the magic we need border security to a salute you would set even a dollar of wall funding for this president and over the open. a dollar that is about themselves so i'm not one dollar that one out. nancy pelosi or nancy as i call it the president doesn't know what he's talking about he thinks it's ok not to pay people who do work surprise surprise she doesn't want to hear the truth she does or so did you from the radical left. sadly given the security concerns and the less government reopens i suggest we'll work together to determine an other suitable dates after government has reopened for this address or for you to consider delivering your state of the union address in writing.

due to the shutdown i'm sorry to inform you that your trip to brussels egypt and afghanistan has been postponed obviously if you'd like to make your journey by flying commercial that would certainly be your prerogative. maybe he thinks the government shutdown he can. unpresidential. that's going on in that part of the shopkeep and don't think you really want what she's doing our constitution isn't just grace. just a moment here an international law c.n.n. correspondent jim acosta shares his experience of trump's war on the media and many other stories next.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. for something i want to. get it right to be close this is like the three of them or people. interested always in the logs in the.

nearly twenty pastor in moscow donald trump is famous for his war on the media and in a new book c.n.n.'s jim acosta shares his experiences of life on the front line versus the u.s. president he could have done a fix by. cnn's a chief white house storm and jim acosta is about to write their memoirs of his latest struggles in the job in the upcoming book a promise to shed light on the victims of war some swore on truth and truth tellers akin to accost i'm writing this book to share what i've experienced covering

president trump during his first two years in office. this sobering bewildering and sometimes frightening experience has made it absolutely clear that this is a dangerous time to tell the truth in america and while acosta makes these feelings about being a victim of trump's regime very clearly the episode we're about to show you is probably the worse that it ever got for him as we. already know that. this. was going to go so yeah basically he wanted to ask a question and trump wouldn't let him hardly the same as live hissing over his head in fact some of the costas called leagues called him out for being unprofessional so overall again this is ardently david versus goliath however accost is not the only journalist talking of abuse by trump president's attacks could actually lead

to violence against members of the news media but their lives their safety is in jeopardy they are receiving more and more threats nowadays the most recent note i got ended with monta meanwhile investigative journalism in america seems to have been reduced to reprinting exclusives leaked voluntarily but ministration officials gone rogue based on anonymous sources according to this source who spoke on the condition of anonymity anonymous sources are the basis of most truthful reporting oftentimes you do have to gather information using anonymous sources say can i use your name they say no can i use you as an anonymous source a source familiar with the matter they say yes and then we report the information on the air trumps repeatedly huffed and puffed how he would deal with the leakers and whistleblowers but so far it's mostly been all talk and this actually goes in stark contrast with the previous administration the obama era that brings tears of

nostalgia to trump haters eyes is actually considered the time move worn. blowers and if you're thinking chelsea manning added snowden and giuliana sanj you're correct but the full picture is much much darker. with all due respect it's hard to imagine jim acosta's life as one of c.n.n. celebrities to be worse than those who dared to spill the beans and obama on washington's war crimes and torture. italian prime minister has

accused france and germany of running the e.u. in their own interests and disregarding the views of other member states they're only thinking of their national interests certainly our allies cannot believe that we will sit silently of the table to underwrite decisions taken by others or separate contrary were speaking a few days after france and germany signed a friendship treaty under the pact the two countries agreed to deepen their economic alignment with common regulations france gave its support to germany's bid to have a permanent seat on the un security council earlier italy's interior minister met teo salvini call for an alternative alliance between italy and central europe. as that europe is used to the franco german axis but we're seeking a new balance a new energy and in this sense poland in italy will be the protagonists of this new european spring. well feeney is known for his tough stance on immigration he has repeatedly accused germany of stoking the crisis earlier this week he described

emanuel as a terrible president and blamed france for destabilizing africa political analyst and gave us his views on the dispute. i think what we're seeing now is that there are really two opposite views of the european union on one side you've got france and germany who are and that's i think closing their eyes on what really is going on within the european union and pretending that nothing bad is going on and on the other side we've got to tell you which are at the forefront of the other countries of other countries at least of the european union saying well there's a big divide and they don't understand what's going on they don't understand what the french and germans are doing they don't understand why a lot of the main problems which are facing europeans today massive immigration unemployment problems concerning the schooling universities are not being dealt with so i don't think the european union is going to be able to solve this and unfortunately this is a this is

a big blow for the european dream but it shows that if we want to solve these major problems that i think a lot of the countries will want to solve themselves outside of the european union . around twenty thousand nigerian girls and women are being held in mali as sex slaves that's according to the head of nigeria's anti trafficking agency reportedly being held deep inside forests with little chance of escape the girls and the women who range in age from sixteen to thirty many had been tricked into thinking they were heading for jobs and hospitality in malaysia others were kidnapped on their way to or from school the director general of the anti trafficking agency says they are being held in terrible slave like conditions and we spoke to godwin walker who is also from the agency about its findings. indeed the number of treated this way to learn how to get to rescue his girls we need to work really closely with him alone would do it is especially do as i do look under

the real answer do they have deep rooted duties a billboard to them to do it is deliberately issued in this is really the instructions would be raised and risk. the un has previously highlighted the problem of human trafficking in nigeria it's called for international funding in areas where human traffickers operate the most. again says that apart from rescue efforts it is essential to work with women to teach them how to spot the traffickers traps to change. who want to show down when there were more girls bring in the. program they're sharing some of your saturday with us here at the international in moscow we are back at the top of the hour with more of your weekend stories. if you are you know more than fifty percent of the day his past your screen and

your screen is controlling him through little incentives and hey you know robot on the shelf you know play my favorite song i love that feel so good oh so warm inside you know meanwhile your bank accounts being drained by wall street and you know you know your net worth is collapsing in your money's being destroyed and all the relationships are hardly dysfunctional and you're living in a frickin president you have no right to assemble no right to free speech but you're feeling good about it because this is extraordinarily. it's subversives it's ha lucius it's the state gone amok. we settled for the past couple of years from the dragon pit to these islands off there but the reality is there may still be a shit and. have it in this fine layer of might creep us they want to see you bury

. the biggest thing and show that we've never had an empty. like the moment in the name of the something going home and. people obviously come in 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. and. in the united states we proactively require brominated flame retardants to be put into furniture and marketing. among other things and that's resulted in extremely higher levels all those flame returns in the human bodies of americans as opposed to europeans and that ultimately has affected the cognitive outcomes of

literally a generation of american children. in a new video where you know your son. is you going over. those whom your muscle both will be in your years and years it was notable depending. on what you believe in you. please the bullies the ways the idea but because religion is the wide. world. needs then you're. going to those who. choose these good. news for. the who.
