people obviously come and they just throw them into the water it may not be for that little fish that eats one fragment but once it makes its way up the food chain it's getting to levels. washington urges the un to recognize venezuela. president. any self-respect. he justifies supporting the poisonous regime.

and their. riot police fired tear gas on. a c.n.n. correspondent writes a book about his struggles against president we find out whether claims so far stand up to scrutiny. broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our team international and sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us and 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 we're here to urge all nations to support the democratic aspiration. 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 so with a look at the internal situation in this latin american country should not be an item on the agenda of council we 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 wall 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 total music just this meeting which we've been forced to attend is yet another element to agree with regime change 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 get one of you can tell me which one are to go home and which end provision of the united nations charter how awesome you can find the google base and i want your cell phone from your nation and i want to make sure who wasn't elected by anyone another as you guys in and out of all of our new public and. then we can open a discussion on the legal aspects but i don't think that will happen. it is not be

time did the. it is in advance it's in the vanguard of the good it it is the orders not only to the venezuelan 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 have only involved in the two thousand and two coup attempt in venezuela to remove been duros predecessor hugo chavez it's also important to note that while a number of countries are recognizing juan guede oh this this individual who declared himself the interim president of venezuela and a number of countries are still recognizing and standing by him 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. the strange way that

you're proposing to prevent this crisis by putting forward an absurd eight day old to meet him 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 by themselves what you're doing is not called prevention it's called incitement as caleb mentioned there germany france spain and the u.k. have put down a deadline for president maduro they want him to announce a new elections within eight days or they will recognize his rival wedo as the leader of venezuela krokus based journalist noyce got reports. the news has been received incorrect as with both joy and rebuke in and rejection from both parties and both sides of supporters we are standing right now in a citizen assembly supporting one white doe and of course some of the national assembly congressmen they are right now given some speeches and that's plain in 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 calling for elections and of course this war in one way let's see that. we're in a situation never before experienced in the newsroom so people are coming out because this is us denise rhodes it's not the political parties it's not the national assembly it's the venezuelans who are 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 for 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 in this country that want to get their hands on this given the problems like the government now the jury has made significant progress because they're better at divided between supporting one why don't more supporting the last mature

at the station house call for a new set just protests for next week so we show you wait and see how the events develop here in caracas. we asked 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 if you support democracy just a court to be support free 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 want to try to do make the tube. i mean the two groups that are that are encountering 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 it sort of other and that was caused also by actions of the united states during any promoting good at that i mean during the cold war and so this is

not about democracy 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 this isn't a table not democracy because they're not supporting at them across the process people didn't elect one way or the elections last year were totally legal and actually contrary to what the media saying those elections in those elections the opposition are p.c.p. was actually extremely clear on these. business rates extremely by their they don't have an agreement in a strategy. in terms of the universe so one sector of the opposition last year by the other sector actually the. last. i can think rationed it doesn't matter what happens from now on in the carry on it's not going to be

recolonized by the us and our nice right the only way to help the people in this way that is to eliminate all the sanctions the economic sanctions all those. sanctions that are preventing the country from getting food from getting. all that forty for your life all dignified and people nicolas maduro accuses the u.s. of meddling in his country's internal internal affairs and it's not the first time or place washington has faced such accusations.

are they you know. the. in the by. the. yes can't stand freedom fighters cheers try telling our side to free what's really going on.

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

it seems like it's all for willing apart at the moment and you just when you take a look at my new see people moving away from this main street area i'm front of the bank of france now that's because that's where the tear gas is coming and as you can see people throwing projectiles towards the police forces who were trying to move those protesters back they'd been hand the bastille for the last hour or so in fairly calm and then about ten minutes ago just so i did that they were going to try and more down the 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 projects to us and also trying to throw back the pellets of tear gas which has been brought forward by the police who might be able to see if the protesters actually set fire just in the distance a sorry a short that sara covered in scaffolding and that is one of the reasons they're

trying to push through you can see that they've been moving these barricades here these had been moving these away does this also work and going at the moment here at the basti trying to move it to create what seemed to be barricades again and then setting those all on fire as you can see there you separate just coming down 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 calm protest on the eleventh weekend but yet again we're seeing move islands from the saw. if the protest is on the police then responding to you that you might be able to see a row over the sea or it's the gendarme coming there and that looks like they're trying to put out the fire that was created by the protesters and i think that's a water cannon yes i can confirm 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 polls though for the moment or being shocked to wards the police now this comes as france is in the middle of a national debate just behind this that they've 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 rules 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 away absolute

chaos here and we're just having to move quite a lot because that. would just come to me because that water cannon is that coming round we've just seen some people injured including one of our colleagues in rockley looks like he's received an injury as a result of why it's so humid the projectiles being thrown from the protesters from the crowds we're all trying to to keep under cover here the police as you can see they are getting their flashbulbs out now this is to launch to tear gas we have been told that the police officers who are using these flash polls will all be wearing full. he can see the material can be reviewed off to it's it's not clear how many security forces are at 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 are trying to push those crowds way being successful and now they are launching the tear gas in the parade

she troy and jack 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 the victim was streaming footage of the protest at the time and capture the moment of the incident. oh. he said there's no. the french president has launched a so-called national debate to find a way out of the crisis but protesters on the streets of paris say they no longer

trust emanuel my craw. you know we're here to keep mobilizing against the government to maintain the pressure so they don't think that the movement is dead i don't believe in the national debate i think is part of the european elections campaign is just smoke we need to participate to show that we're willing to engage in dialogue but personally i don't believe in it we're here to show mr mccraw that we understand his game and we know he is a liar he can play any tricks he wants but we will still be here. in journalist known for a very public feud with donald trump has written a bill book about his struggles with the president more on that after a short break you're watching. join me every thursday on the elec simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

you are you know more than fifty percent of the day pass your screen and your screen is controlling it through this little incentives and hey you know robot on the shelf you know play my favorite song and i left feel so good i was so warm inside you know meanwhile your bank accounts being drained by wall street and you know you know your net worth is collapsing your money is being destroyed and all the relationships are hardly dysfunctional and you're living in a frickin president you have no right to stomp on the rights of free speech but you're feeling good about it because this is extraordinarily. it's subversive hull aisha's it's the state gone amuck.

welcome back this is r.t. international donald trump's war on the mainstream media has become a key theme of his presidency and in a new book a c.n.n. correspondent jim acosta shares his experiences of life on the front line your love has come into cnn's achieve for 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 trumps war on truth and truth tellers akin to accost i'm. 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 worst 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's an ask one of the other folks that stood out for me ma'am on this president that's enough the president had one of you noted that i may ask you so yeah basically he wanted to ask a question and trump wouldn't let him oddly the same as live hissing over his head in fact some of the coasters call exe 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 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 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 after a mining dam burst in southeast brazil local media is saying at least forty people have died the collapse released a huge volume of mining waste flooding at rural areas nearby towns have been

a wall between reality and his constituents just factually correct it's not going to work in two thousand and seventeen it was not one illegal immigrant moving through the southern border into israel maybe i can show you the border right along here this is leaking international boundary. it's not safe here the borders not secure bad guys are coming across they believe they are welcome to mexico. right that does it for me i'll be back with more news at the top the hour stay with us this is our two trash. was.

just manufactured consent to step into the public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the flaming. lips and be the one percent. we can all middle of the room see. the real news is.

in the united states we've proactively work wired brominated flame retardants to be put into furniture and marketing among other things and that's resulted in extremely higher levels all 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 sea dragon to get these islands of plastic but the reality is the may still be a ship and a scavenge in this fine layer of micro plastics blind to bury. the biggest thing and show me is that we've never had an empty troll.

like the contents of 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 classic but once it makes its way up to us in the food chain it's getting to levels that are harmful. to. our skies or those of the cows or report. well max davus ended yesterday and you notice too didn't attend and that was donald trump anybody from his cabinet or in fact emanuel 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 matt brown 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 thing we've been talking about of the dollars a shot 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. 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 year they don't

buy 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 rec you know represents so 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 i went last year in palm springs and that's like the new that's where all the cool kids are going they're going to davos for has been oldham jerks yep 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 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.
