a former chief of staff to the u.s. secretary of state says that america has played a part in bringing turmoil to venezuela two thousand and two i know that we started in the bush administration a significant effort with regard to go chavez in venezuela that that effort has now come to some sort of chaotic fruition is no surprise to me we do not like regimes and i'm not trying to say that chavez duro are good for business i think they are they weren't ultimately but i am saying that the united states has been probably and others to very complicit in making that more prominent and bringing chaos to a south american country. or just stone long time political adviser of donald trump has been released on bail after being indicted on several charges and introduced by the special counsel robert munna stuns to attention came as part of the ongoing

investigation into alleged russian collusion during the twenty sixteen american presidential elections and the charges include obstruction making false statements and witness tampering though there was no mention whatsoever of any collusion with russia which is exactly what the model a probe is supposed to be looking for is our correspondent in. 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 on 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 jersey visitor and i would be more than willing to surrender voluntarily and. they terrorize my wife and my dog because 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 allusion 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 a suarez 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 exists.

france is bracing for an eleventh weekend of yellow vest protests coming off the recent remarks by president micron in which he portrayed himself as a man of the people protesters of long branded him only as a president of the rich is a correspondent shot a doofus. 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 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 manner if there are questions i will answer them but what i want is for you to express yourself in the most authoritative manner to go on the tour he snubbed the filthy rich of 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 elite schools as a risk to transfer to he was made that the french elite is created in this way she 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 on his network with people who were

born with silver spoons in their mouths i think he's more president for the bridge he's a puppets of the big banks he obviously doesn't come from you know the lower income brackets you know like some of us do i think he probably tries. i think he is more a president of the rich judging by the laws he has introduced. aside from internal discontent tyrus also faces external pressure for the italian prime minister accusing france and germany of running the e.u. according to their own interests will have a bit more than just a little bit later in the program. but now u.s. president donald trump has signed a bill temporarily lifting the longest 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 his border wall with mexico 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 democrat house speaker nancy pelosi has been seen as the main obstacle or opponent to trump's plans for a border wall so here's a quick recap of the touring and fro ing. on this shutdown the longest government shutdown in u.s. history followed workers contractors lined up. cold air traffic controllers pilots and flight attendants are mourning travelers they cannot guarantee their safety. you have the boat if you have no way out of the gulf it would get it passed very easily and you would get a chance you have to be asked in two seconds and we need the order thank you it's

my message we need border security police release you would accept even a dollar of wall fund but by the way in order to feel. a dollar but if nothing else i'm not lined up to get out. as you're posting. this yes i call that the president doesn't know what is talking about he takes it's ok not to pay people who do work surprise surprise she doesn't want to hear the truth so you're going to confront the radical left. sadly given the security concerns and unless government reopens i suggest we'll work together to determine and other suitable dates after government has reopened for this address or for you to consider delivering your state of the union address in rights a. due

to the shutdown i'm sorry to inform you that your trip to brussels egypt and afghanistan has been postponed over see if you'd like to make your journey by flying commercial a couple so it may be your prerogative. maybe he thinks that government shutdown he can call for more comfortable unpresidential is to take going on of that for his shock and no thank you i don't want to switch what she's doing to our constitution is it just grace flew. just around the corner here on international law c.n.n. correspondent jim acosta shares his experience of trump's war on the media more on that in a moment. you

know world 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 on the bad 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. make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the flaming merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can

all middle of the room. thanks for joining us here on this saturday donald trump is famous for his war on the media and vice versa in a new book see it ends with jim acosta shares his experience of life on the front line versus the us president is our correspondent. cnn's achieve the 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. 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 me and if i may ask the question this president by me i should have a question are you worried i should know that sort of president that should have asked one of the other folks that stood out for me ma'am on this mystery that's enough as president one of you know that i may ask you 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 coasters 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. 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 paid his eyes is actually considered the time move worn whistled

. lois and if you're thinking chelsea manning added snowden and giuliana sanch 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 under obama on washington's war crimes and torture. some three hundred people are unaccounted for nine confirmed dead after

a mining down in southeast brazil officials say almost two hundred others though have been rescued the collapse released a huge volume of mining waste flooding rule areas and nearby towns evacuated and survivors were airlifted to safety the iron ore mine is owned by the brazilian metals john valley. also operates another dam in the state which dropped it in twenty fifteen contaminating rivers and killing nineteen people. 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 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. it was speaking at a well a few days after france and germany signed a friendship treaty under the pact that the new countries agreed to deepen their economic alignment with common regulations and france if it supported germany's bid

to have a permanent seat at the un security council earlier italy's interior minister called for an alternative alliance between italy and central europe. 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 salvini is rather well known for his tough stance on immigration he has repeatedly accused france and germany of stoking the crisis this week he described as a terrible president and blamed france for destabilizing africa political analyst and. his views on this dispute it. 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 things 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 and that's the program for this hour here on r.t. international just now turning twenty five minutes past the hour what headlines in about twenty five miles. better but it's survival guide updating it all to start

a little bit better all this it is. the sure it's still there are you going to get a bad. back to. the techno goods is a repatriation team or a get there at the seventy years. bill of the separate organizer for. reflect there's someone else living inside of me or controlling my body. the byproduct of the drug the root cause like severe depression. because it literally need him into a zombie it's crazy. you know we don't have to do anything it's not our fault you know she's crazy and all that. took years of traumatic takes

a long time to get rid of. what politicians do. we put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be rich. which is going to be prose that's what the before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. first city. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going foundation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only closely and going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

not after nancy we're going on the ground as the e.u. . things about the hard border ahead of tomorrow's annual bloody sunday much in derry coming up on the show was the f.b.i. going to kill muzzy hashimi we talked to the just released journalist and u.s. citizen in her first international t.v. interview about religious freedom and justice in trump's america and we get an exclusive interview with the family of a british army veteran detained this week and facing deportation in twenty days on the jury's amazed facto hostile environment all this and more coming up in today's going underground but first forget the u.n. analysis of u.k. extreme poverty this country's embattled leader says everything here is going swimmingly borrowing this year at its lowest level for sixteen yeah the i.m.f.

saying don't we'll grow faster than germany italy and japan. un second showing foreign direct investment in the u.k. last year employment rates our number of people in what our wages are and the biggest threat to all of that would be on a drug company but on their own benches one m.p. asta to fire her minister as your government is stuffed full of remaining ministers who do not want to leave the european union. would you prefer we've colleagues from these shoes who actually believe in not holding the decision of the british pretty full internally the european union only twenty ninth of march but after reports of imminent mass resignations in her government to resume chose to make a joke at some job applications in my time i. think many want

made to resign november exit though not on a mass deportation of people of color scandal will have her involvement in yemen in libya but the grunfeld taua tragedy and as for the brics it crisis despite all the politicians who took up her offer only to walk out of number ten with nothing is all the cool binns fault the writer. what gentleman has been willing to sit down with the nazis bowler and the ira. with three conditions if you were me me to talk about brett colvin said there was no point in meeting actually i did reach out to the prime minister last september when i offered to discuss our deals with. your peers but. it appears he was just great q that was the door to our office may well be open and apparently the minds inside it are completely closed. while arguably the minds of british authorities have long

been closed when it comes to broadcast freedom in the u.k. iranian channel press t.v. has banned from broadcast here it's a channel i worked out with filmmaker lanka muzzy hashimi who has been freed after controversial detention on the orders of the us justice department in her first international broadcast interview she joins me now via skype from the u.s. capitol thanks so much for being on going underground before we even go to what's on earth happen to year i understand you continue just say that people all around the world need to protest the u.s.a. so-called legal system. and gently i'm sure great to be with you and well when i got out i understood that rally were going to be held in conjunction with demanding my release and what i'm asking people to do definitely continue with those rallies because this is not about now see how it should be it's not about me it's about the ability.
