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 a classic but once it makes its way up the food chain it's getting to levels that are harmful. to. washington urges the un to recognize that venezuela's self-proclaimed leader. but is met with opposition from russia and venezuela. former president illegitimate mafia state how indeed self-respect and also believe justifies supporting the poisonous regime if anything. it is the shameless and aggressive actions you know that states and their allies. that.

riot police fired tear gas on angry crowds and. the movement. is c.n.n. correspondent who writes a book about his struggles against a president trying to find out whether jim acosta claims that so far. are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our team international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us. all right the u.s. has urged the united nations to recognize venezuela's self-proclaimed interim president . a security council session in new york saw some fierce exchanges here to urge all nations to. support the democratic aspirations of the venezuelan people as they

try to free themselves from former president illegitimate mafia state comprehensive picture of human misery and degradation from which only the corrupt venezuelan elite able to escape scot so ability to turn off its rationing is left in american countries should not be an item on the agenda of a council when you don't see any external threats coming from what is taking place in venezuela if anything goes represents a threat to peace it is the shameless and aggressive actions of the united states and their allies at the start of the legitimately elected president over this way look it's not a surprise that those who rule without democracy in their own countries are trying to prop up majority while he is in dire straits now it's time for every other nation to pick a side no more delays no more games either you stand with the forces of freedom or you're in league with material and his mayhem how indeed can any self respecting government possibly justifies supporting the poisonous regime of the nation

destroying missed in the doura done in the bottom was it just this meeting which we've been forced to attend is yet another element of agree with regime change strategy in venezuela we heard from mike pompei o the u.s. secretary of state who was on hand for the meeting that was called by the united states he condemned venezuelan very harsh terms we heard from the united kingdom france and other countries that spoke very harshly and critically against venezuela then we heard from the venezuelan foreign minister who took to the floor to defend himself and to defend the country yet to pick one of you can tell me which one are to go home and which provision of the united nations charter you can find the legal basis for his cell phone program nation of an individual who wasn't elected by anyone as the president of the bill of our new republic and. then we can open a discussion on the legal aspects. i don't think that will happen if the united

states is not being time did the. it is in advance it's in the vanguard of the good it it is the orders not only to the venice with an oppositional but also to the satellite governments in the region but as you know throughout the meeting there were many back and forth exchanges leaders responding to comments from other leaders at one point we actually saw a debut appearance by the newly appointed envoy for venezuela elliott abrams this is what he had to say democracy never needs to be imposed it is tyranny that has to be imposed this discussion in the council is about the right of the venezuelan people to direct their own internal affairs and choose the future of their own country democratically elliott abrams was just appointed as the special envoy of the united states to venezuela and he has quite a record when it comes to latin america he was and fact convicted convicted of

giving false information during the iran contra scandal he was convicted because apparently he gave false information covering up u.s. covert support for extremists and terrorists in nicaragua that sought to bring down the sandinista government during the civil war furthermore abrams was apparently heavily involved in the two thousand and two coup attempt in venezuela to remove been duros predecessor hugo chavez it's also important to note well a number of countries are recognizing wedo this individual who declared himself the interim president of venezuela and a number of countries are still recognizing and standing by nicolas maduro the elected leader there are some countries that are giving kind of an ultimatum and saying that they want a new election within eight days even though that as well as constitution does not provide for that to take place now the russian ambassador to the u.n. addressed those giving this ultimatum this was his response. it's. only very much

range way that you're proposing to prevent this crisis by putting food a little a day over to make some you completely disregard the sovereignty of venezuela imposing this issue that you prefer i'm rejecting it's people's right to resolve their own problems so what you're doing is looking at prevention it's called incitement. germany france spain and the u.k. have given an ultimatum to president maduro they want him to announce new elections within eight days or they will recognize his rival as leader of venezuela caracas based journalist north i've got reports. the news has been received incorrect as with both a joy and rebuke in and rejection from both parties and both sides of supporters we are standing right now in our studios in assembly supporting one white doe and of course some of the national assembly congressmen they are right now given some speeches and that's leaning

a new law and i'm used to laws trying to pass on the next coming days but of course we want to hear the voices of the people who support and the people who reject the is a calling for elections and of course this war in one way let's see that. we're in a situation never before experienced two things where two people are coming out because this was us various rooms it's not the political parties it's not the national assembly it's to do this well who score coming out and fighting for what we want. the opposition will not return because we support our president for all the right reasons for our mission for our homes and our children. this is a government of social justice this is a country that has many natural resources lots of natural wealth there are many interests and it's been that want to get their hands on this given the problems like that the government you know the jury has made significant progress because they're bitter and divided a big. morning one why don't more supporting it all as mature

a decision as gathering you said just brought this far net suite into so we sharyn wait and see how the events develop here in caracas. we ask to two experts on latin america for their views on the deepening crisis in venezuela. it's not about democracy in any form if you cut it you support democracy just quite the be and he supports three and fair elections and if you are supporting someone who was not elected by the people you are not supporting a process maybe you know the international community can get together and try to not decide what the bonus was one to try to to make the two i mean the two groups that are that are in countering themselves to get an agreement of course maduro is facing a very big opposition people are fleeing their countries that's not very different from what's happening in the let's say or in other parts of central america where the malice and that sort of other and that was caused also by actions of the united states during i mean promoting good at tatts i mean during the cold war and so this

is not about the mark received this is about an imposition and we know the natural resources in venezuela are an all rich country one of the biggest in the world it's now now it's what maybe is isn't a table not democracy because they're not supporting at them across the process people didn't elect one way they'll be shot last year we're totally i know actually contrary to what the. election of the opposition are p.c.p. was actually extremely clear on the set. of business rates extremely by their they don't have an agreement in their strategy. in terms of the universe so one sector of. the last year by the other sector actually did. not have a. it doesn't matter what happens now. on any in the jury of my.

own eyes by the us are nice right the only way to tell the people in this way that each day all the sanctions the economic sanctions and all those. sounds of the. pantry from getting food don't get in many see all that forty five year old like. nicolas maduro accuses the us of meddling in his country's internal affairs and it's not the first time or place washington has faced these accusations.

of a unilateral action nobody. in the buying. for the. stance freedom fighters three years ago they are saying free but really going on.

we're protecting the libyan people from gadhafi forces. the yellow bus movement has a broad chaos had to french cities for an eleventh weekend in a row protesters that defied calls from president micron to negotiate and were met by riot police with crowd control weapons.

it seems like it's all fooling apart at the moment and it just when you take a look behind you see people moving away from this main street taking it in front of the bank of front of us because that's where the tear gas is coming and as you can see people throwing projectiles towards the family's forces to trying to move those protesters back they'd been hand the basti for the last hour or so fairly calm and then about ten minutes ago decided that they were going to try and march down this street this is oh who sold on to one and as you can see it's now descending into chaos between the protesters throwing these for jack doesn't also trying to throw back the pellets of cheer gas which has been brought forward by the police you might be able to see the protesters actually set fire just in the distance say outside a shop that sack covered in scaffolding and. is one of the reasons they're trying

to push through you can see that they've been moving these barricades here these here be moving these away because there's also work and to going at the moment here at the bus the trying to move it to create what seemed to be barricades again and then setting those all on fire as you can see them separate yet just coming from all angles over the crowds here as they try and hit the police and possibly other targets and yes it was cold we were expecting it to be a comb protests on the eleventh weekend but yet again we're seeing move islands from the side the protest is on the police then responding to you that you might be able to see a row over the c.r. as the gendarme coming there and that looks like they're trying to put out the fire that was created by the protesters i think that's water cannon yes i can confirm that water cannons have now been brought in to try and deal with this situation you

can see more security forces there as these pellets which were literally in the part of the moment being chucked to wards the police now this comes as france is in the middle of a national debate just behind this that the firm smashed. the bus that's all going down really is coming into quite k.s.c. as i said in the middle of a national debate here in france and that itself has been angry people look at that the water cannon trying to push that temporary barricade that the protesters have put up pushing it away you see it can get closer into this crowd these rule that the protesters are throwing are actually coming incredibly close to us we're going to just try and get some cover behind a tree here at the moment we do have our safety gear on look at that the water cannons in full force now trying to move those protesters. way absolute

chaos here we're just having to move quite a lot because that i was just time to move because that water cannon is that coming round we've just seen some people injured including one of our colleagues in rock looks like he's received an injury as a result of why it's so humid the project just being thrown up from the protesters from the crowds we are trying to to keep on to cover here the police as you can see they are getting their flashbulbs out now this is to launch to tear gas and we have been told that the police officers who are using these flash polls will all be wearing body come see day so that the material can be reviewed off to it's it's not clear how many security forces are out today the interior ministry normally gives this figure is this week it just so i did not see you said it's anyone's guess in game just how many security forces are out but as you can see here they're trying to push those crowds way they've been successful and now they are launching the

tear gas in the parade she troy and calm the situation down here i'm being told a guy you get a sense of the forces coming up but yet complete chaos within just a few minutes once again as acts eleven is certainly under way here in paris. several people were injured in the clashes one protester identified as a popular figure within the yellow vest movement suffered an eye injury he was taken away by paramedics and the victim was streaming footage of the protests at the time and captured the moment of the. oh. he said there's no. journalist known for a very public feud with donald trump has written a book about his struggles with of the president more on that after a short break large international.

you are you know more than fifty percent of the days pass your screen and your screen is controlling it through this 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 yours 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 furnishes it's some versus hull ations it's the state gone amok. i happened to be interviewed in the effort to understand what happened here the

p.m.c. that came here was not a contract to win the war came here was a contract to train a unit and to create from scratch and then to go into combat and the g.p. limited the stick. welcome back this is r t international now donald trump the war on the mainstream media has become a key fim of his presidency and in a new book c.n.n. correspondent jim acosta shares his experiences of life on the front line of comments. cnn's 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 brings the world during 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 let me ask you if i may ask one of the question this president by me i should have a question are you worried i should know that it is president that should have asked one of the other folks that stood up for me ma'am on this mystery that's enough the president had one of the dumbest that i may ask you so we 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 oddly david versus goliath however accost is not the only journalist talking of abuse by trump the 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 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 ate his eyes is actually considered the time of war and whistleblowers 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 under obama on washington's war crimes and torture. some three hundred people are

missing and thirty four are confirmed dead after a mining dam burst in southeast brazil fishel say almost two hundred others have been rescued the collapse of the lift a huge volume of mining waste flooding that were all areas nearby towns have been evacuated and survivors are being airlifted to safety the iron ore mine is owned by the brazilian metals giant valley the firm also operates under another dam in the state which burst in two thousand and fifteen contaminating rivers and killing one thousand people. u.s. president donald trump has signed a bill to lift the longest government shutdown in the country's history for the past thirty five days he has 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 meanwhile trump has just tweeted this video to back up his claims about the importance of building the wall. it's not a negotiation no wall it's a wall between reality and his constituents just factually correct it's not going to work in two thousand and seventy it was not one to legal immigrants move it through the southern border into israel maybe i can show you the border right along here this is the boundary. it's not safe here the borders not secure bad guys are coming across they can be welcomed in mexico. all right that doesn't for me i'll be back with more news top the hour stay with us.

oh. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be rich. but you going to be for us that's what i'm up for three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. best city.

in the united states we've proactively worked. wired brominated flame retardants to be put into furniture and carpeting among other things and that's resulted in extremely higher levels of those flame retardants 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. we settled for the past couple of years from back in pitt to the east islands of plastic but the reality is the may still be

a shit and have it in this fine layer of micro plastics one two three. the biggest thing and it shocked me is that we've never had an empty troll. like. the something of an albatross. 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 plastic but once it makes its way up to us in the food chain it's getting to levels that are harmful. to the net this is the comedy show where americans in america covering american news or called foreign agents yes thank you for being foreign agents with me for

sixty years of bill first single payer health care coverage has been introduced in the house of representatives a.g.r. six seventy six last. and there were one hundred twenty four co-sponsors for it and this year is the greatest support single payer medicare for all has ever had in america which is why this year it was important for our corporate ties politicians to give that number h r six seventy six to a different bill this year it's the nato support act. yes because nato was feeling really unsupported it was. this is really. having a crisis of self-confidence you know the north american treaty organization is seventy years old this coming april fourth and has become an aggressive form of our military many of you nato is as a war legitimizing body as if the united states is standing there waving its arms

like a horny gorilla with a semiautomatic rifle. and now you know it's like the zookeeper like come on come on do you can throw your average body all right. and when nato signs off on a military action it's like this to keep her going ok. yes guys that guy's just nuzzle author and anti-war activists david swanson said this nato is used within the us and by other nato members as cover to wage wars under the pretense that they are somehow more legal or acceptable placing a primarily u.s. war under the banner of nato also helps to prevent congressional oversight of that war yes people think that nato wars are the good wars. there's almost no such thing as good war as a right not coming from an imperialist belligerent bloated military like ours with

between eight hundred thousand military bases around the world you can go well that one over there that was the good one now is the one that ignoring the five hundred other bombings blood. this missile that's all that's a good one dad that's a noble one right there that's like putting like a little piece of kale on top of a deep fry twinkie tower. this is my healthy time snack right here and there's that because that kale right there like how long did you do that were someone goes well that's healthy why you have been in the front. so it's a bad time when you look at nato and go what makes all of your wars the good warriors but the mic resistance in the mainstream outlets will tell you nato is just a defensive measure against russia but in riyadh.
