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 it so ability to turn off its you ation and this left an american country should not be an item on the agenda of a council when you don't see any 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 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 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 one provision of the united nations charter how awesome you can find a legal basis with a cellphone from your own nation and other individual who wasn't elected by anyone other as you guys in and out of all of our new public events will us and bones and then we can open. a discussion on the legal aspects but i don't think that will happen if the united states is not be time did the. it is in advance it's

in the vanguard of the good it to it is the ordinals not only to them and it's with an opposition but also to the satellite you know 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 duros predecessor hugo chavez it's also important to note that while 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 certainly was you know it's a very strange way that you're proposing to prevent this crisis by putting food in

the eight day old to meet him you completely disregard the sovereignty of venezuela imposing this is you prefer i'm rejecting it's people's right to resolve their own problems. what you're doing is look at prevention it's called incitement was kaleb mention of 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 why don't as a leader of venezuela crack is based journalist i got reports. the news has been received incorrect as with both joy and river and rejection from both parties and both sides of supporters we are standing right now in estes 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 really. 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 don't let see that. we're in a situation never before experienced in the newsroom so people are coming out because this is us the new surrounds 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 wrong 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 problems like that. you know the jurors made significant progress because they're bitter and divided between us this morning in one way or supporting your position on it over

anyone that just broke this time it's winter now so we showing wait and see how the events develop here in caracas we ask to two experts on the latin america for their views on the deepening crisis in venezuela. it's not about democracy in any form if you have it is supported not pretty disappointed and he supports three in 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 benefit was one to try to donate the to the 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 outside of other and that's what's caused also by actions of the united states there isn't any promoting good at tatts 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 the table not democracy because they're not supporting at them across the process people didn't elect one way though the elections last year were totally illegal 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 your position or in this race 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 jury or is not going to be

recognized by the u.s. and it's of our life right the only way. to eliminate all the sanctions the economic sanctions all those. the sounds of the. pantry from getting food don't get in many see all that's new to our forty five year old life old you can assume people. 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 with such accusations.

in the by. the. yes freedom fighters there is trying to tell their side to free what's really going on.

we're protecting the libyan people from gadhafi forces. a protest was held in washington d.c. on saturday afternoon against u.s. a policy in venezuela. if you took out the markers but it really is. a crowd of anti-war activists gathered outside the white house accusing the trumpet ministration of staging an illegal coup in a venezuela and eyes were on display in the midst of u.s. hands off venezuelan people express their solidarity with president nicolas maduro

and the denounced washington in recognition of the self-proclaimed leaders quite of some of the demonstrators were even more prone to do it but. 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 folding apart at the moment and you know just when you take a look behind you see people moving away from this main street i'm front of the bank of fronts 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 are trying to

move those protesters back they've been here in the past the for the last hour or so fairly calm and then about ten minutes ago just so i did that they were going to try and more 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 projects tell us and 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 a sight 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 here removing these awakes there's also work and going at the moment here at the blast 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 protest on the eleventh weekend but yet again we're seeing move islands from the side the protest is on the police then responding she that you might be able to see a row over the c.r.s. 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 or being chucked to wards the police now this comes as france is in the middle of a national debate just behind this that the 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 angering 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 protests. as a way absolute chaos here we're just having to move quite a lot because that will 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 up from the protesters from the crowds we're all trying to to keep on to cover here the police as you can

see they are getting their flash pulls out now this is to launch to tear gas we have been told that police officers who are using these flash polls will all be wearing party comes the material can be reviewed off to it 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 so 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 to try 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. 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 protests at the

time and captured the moment of the incident. i. was. dismayed. at a journalist known for a very public feud with donald trump has written a book about his struggles with the president on that after a short break. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten like howard prime tempi each did. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw

a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business showed you can afford to miss the one and only. happened to be a nigerian effort to understand what happened here the p.m.c. that came here was not contracted to win the award the fields you know it 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 objectives.

back this is our team international down donald trump's war on the mainstream media has become a key theme of his presidency and in a new book c.n.n. correspondent jim acosta shares his experiences of life on the front line r.t.c. good on off as commentary. c n n's a chief white house storm and 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 wall sumps wall on truth and truth teller as akin to acosta. 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 if i may ask one of the course of this

present right by me i should have a question are you worried i should know that's a that's an ask one of the other folks that stood out for me ma'am on this mystery that's enough the president had one of the knowledge 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 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 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 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 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 missing after a mining dam burst in southeast brazil media is saying at least forty people have died the collapse released a huge volume of mining waste flooding will 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 and another dam in the state which burst in two thousand and fifteen contaminating rivers and killing nineteen

people. u.s. president donald trump has signed a bill to lift of 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. but meanwhile trump has treated this video to back up his claims about the importance of building a wall. it's not a negotiation you know war it's a wall between reality and his constituents just factually incorrect 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 the international boundary. it's not safe here the borders not secure bad guys are coming across they can be welcome to mexico these are two international. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to. let it be an arms race in. very dramatic development but only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected.

so when you want to be president and you. want to be. the two going to be cross with the bible before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. west sydney. you know world of big partisan group 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. 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.

countries gone into a nihilistic fever i think we got to hit the road and get out the travelling across america to find what makes america take them to charlotte is the genius of this place especially american hero this is it we've come a point around which elements gunsight we always are on the margins something. on the whole donald culture is really importing american cars. were starting last with is going to head east into just want to go into the belly of the beast i think i want to leave now doesn't know any more ground over the earth it may be completely different but in this jet. blue. we settled for the past couple of years on c. track and pits and if these islands off there but the reality is there may still be

a shit and. have it in this fine layer of micro plastics wanting to bury. the biggest thing and show that we've never had an empty. like the contents of the something 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 plastic 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've proactively worked brominated flame retardants to be put into furniture and carpeting 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. u.s. veterans who come back from war often until those same stories. they were not interested in that. already several generations of them just got this memo from the search. and destroy the government. in five years americans pay for the wars with their money. if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war surely we can risk some discomfort for easiness.

in early february twenty fourth as the made crisis was getting more violent there was a phone call that was intercepted was a call between the assistant secretary of state for european affairs victoria nuland and the u.s. ambassador. geoffrey pyatt questions of credibility. private chats between two top u.s. diplomats was leaked online i think. you know what. i think. that level working for you it's not going to work. well you want to. probably tomorrow for an attaboy. so you had this remarkable phone call.
