well a former chief of staff to the u.s. secretary of state says that america is clearly pushing forward one of its old tactics of regime change 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 and motorola 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 south american country. or just stone a longtime political adviser of donald trump has been released on bail after being indicted on several charges introduced by special counsel robert munna stone's

detention 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 was no mention whatsoever anywhere of collusion with russia which is exactly what the probe is supposed to be looking for. and reports 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 a k. asians 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 was and i would be more than willing to surrender voluntarily and. they terrorize my wife my dog and i wound 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 pollution 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 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 charlotte takes a good 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 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

free to express yourself in the most little respect 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. because he studied in elite schools as a risk to transfer he was made 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 the lower income brackets you know like some of us do i think he probably tries to please i think he's more a president of the rich judging by the last few years introduced. well aside from internal discontent paris also faces external pressure with the italian prime minister accusing france and germany of running the e.u. with their own interests a lot more not just a little bit later in this program. but now u.s. president donald trump assigned the bill temporarily lifting the longest government shutdown in the country's history for the past thirty five days he knew wrangling with democrats in an unsuccessful bid to secure funding for his border war 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. month democrat house speaker nancy pelosi has been seen as the main obstacle an opponent to trump's plans for a border wall so for your retirement 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 their traffic controllers pilots and flight attendants are warning travelers they cannot guarantee their safety. you have been told you have no way out of the before we get it passed very easily and we would get a chance you have to be asked in two seconds and we need border think it's time nancy we need border security to a city you would accept even though all of wall fund places present in over little

things. like dollar that i felt i felt that so i'm not blind. as your policy or nancy as i call it the president doesn't know what he's talking about he takes it's ok not to pay people who do work surprise surprise she doesn't want to hear the truth sucker so to confront the radical left. sadly given the security concerns and the less 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 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

a journey by flying commercial set maybe you'll probity. maybe things that government shutdown you can call for more comfortable unpresidential is to take it's going on in that body shop and no think you really want this was what she's going to choose our constitution is a disgrace. so c.n.n. correspondent jim acosta shares his experience of trump's war on the media aboard that on your other saturday stories less than one minute away.

you are you know more than fifty percent of the days pass your screen and your screen is controlling it through little incentives and you know robot on the shelf you know play my favorite song i love the feel so good i'm 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. subversive. it's the state gone amok. join me every thursday on the alex song i'm sure when i'll be speaking to guest of

the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. good to have you with us today from the south at our program. of course famous for his war on the media. in a new book c.n.n. correspondent jim acosta shows his experience of life on the front line versus the us president there are some details now with our. c.n.n. chief white house jim acosta is about to write the memo was off his latest struggles in the job in the upcoming book a promise to shed light on the victims of war. on truth and truth teller is akin to a cost. 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 one of the question this president by me i should have a question are you worried i should know that sort of president that said i asked one of the other folks that stood out for me ma'am on this mystery that's enough the president had one of the dumbest that i may ask you so yeah basically he wanted to ask a question and trump wouldn't let him leave 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 and 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 hates 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 burst in southeast brazil officials say almost two hundred others have

been rescued the collapse released a huge volume of mining waste flooding rural areas and thereby towns were evacuated survivors were airlifted to safety the iron ore mine is owned by the brazilian metals john the firm also operates another dam in the state which ruptured 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 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. we're speaking a few days off to france and germany signed a friendship treaty under the pact the two countries agreed to deepen their economic alignment with common regulations and france supported germany's bid to have a permanent seat on the u.n.

security council. italy's interior minister matteo salvini 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 known for his tough stance on immigration and he has repeatedly accused france and germany of stoking the crisis earlier this week he described him as a terrible president and blamed france for destabilizing africa political analyst and nickel america which 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 we'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 it's kind of you to share some of your saturday with all of us here at r.t. international in moscow not just about one twenty five pm on saturday and your news continues at the top of the hour hope you can join us then.

in twenty four to you know bloody revolution here to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be increasingly violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it still or hiccough would have put him in your list put video and put him in the in the bill is that i'm still in need of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took the lead in this state over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these an article that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. 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 is on all sides here in dramatic development only personally i'm going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful it's very critical time time to sit down and talk.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten thousand dollars timestamping each did. eighty five percent of global will you loan to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent just last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one does not show you can afford to miss the one and only. 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. kaiser this is the kaiser report. well max davus ended yesterday and you notice too didn't attend and that was donald trump anybody from has cabinet or in fact a manual macro on the president of france or theresa may the prime minister of the

united kingdom why because there's domestic uprising in all of those places and domestic chaos there is no government in well there is no government in the united states around is facing the end of his government and macro and may of course is facing the end of britain as we know it well it plays into a big theme we've been talking about of the dollars a share of the globalization davos is a huge organization for globalization of the big global as hers the globalists they go to davos and they talk about their globalist agenda but because they're in a globalization era and the dollar is a sham era you know naturally these folks don't go to davos because it's outlived its purpose well i predicted to our editor who does work up and he said to him you know what i predict that in twenty twenty there will be you know davros held not as we know it perhaps it may be occupied by this you liaison by the

indignados and by the deplorable it may be a whole new doubt if they want to continue. basically surviving in any form of what this what this organization read you know represents no if you are the smartest minds and you want the coolest weather and you want the greatest experience at a conference i ever got to go to crypto spreads and i went last year and found springs and that's like the new that's where all the cool kids are going they're going to daven those for has been as old them jerks yeah that's true and speaking of those either asian i would like to turn to this headline which i thought was just fantastic it was an interview in spiked on line with i'm going to try to pronounce his name is. it's a french name so it's not going to be perfect nevertheless his name is krzysztof gooey and he is a thinker and author and he was interviewed about their own are unstoppable he
