us veterans who come back from war. seem stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either there already is several generations of them so i just got this memo from the search that says we're going to attack and destroy the government in seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with their money others with their lives 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 an easy way for. washington urges the un to recognize venezuela as the leader of one why don't but is met with opposition from russia and venezuela. former president illegitimate

mafia state how indeed can any self respecting government possibly justifies supporting the poisonous regime if. it is the shameless and aggressive actions of the united states and their allies. the. riot police fired tear gas on angry crowds in paris as the best movement holds an eleventh weekend of rallies. and the c.n.n. correspondent writes a book about his struggles against a president trump we find out whether jim acosta's claims so far stand up to scrutiny. by broadcasting live. this is r t international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us now the u.s. has urged the united nations to recognize venezuela's self proclaimed in her. the

president won 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 so with a look at the internal situation in this left an 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 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 dura the sudan 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 oh 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 a big one of you can tell me which are to go home and which provision of the united nations charter how awesome you can find a legal basis with his cellphone from your own nation and other individual who wasn't elected by him. any one another as you guys get in and out of all of our new

public events with us and bones and then we can open the hood discussion on the legal aspects but i don't think that will happen if the united states is not time did the coup d'etat. 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 well a number of countries are recognizing the quandary wedo this. so president of venezuela and a number of countries are still recognizing and standing by and 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 israel is constant. solution does

not provide for that take place now the russian ambassador to the un addressed those giving this ultimatum this was his response suitably was new and it's a very strange way that you're proposing to prevent this crisis by putting forward a little thirty 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. what you're doing is looking at prevention it's called incitement. and it's killed just mentioned there germany france spain and the u.k. i have put down a deadline for president maduro and they want him to announce a new elections within a days or they will recognize his rival one why don't as leader of venezuela based journalist nourse 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 leaning a new law and amnesty law they are 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 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 and it is we want to get their hands on this given the problems like that

. you know the jurors made significant progress because they're bitter and divided between you know forty one why don't more supporting him and your position has gone over and you said just broke this for next week so we show you 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 kept it is supported not pretty just quite the deal 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 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 outside 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 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 or the elections last year were totally legal and actually contrary to what the media are saying those elections in those elections are p.c.p. would have to be extremely clear on these. or 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 any victory or it's not going to be recolonized by the us are nice right the only way to help the people in this way that is to eliminate all the sanctions the economic sanctions all those. the sounds of the. pantry getting food getting many see all that forty five year old like. many in the u.s. fear their government's stance on venezuela will only make matters worse for the country's people and protest was held in washington d.c. on saturday afternoon. a crowd of anti-war activists gathered outside the white house accusing the trumpet

ministration of pushing for illegal regime change in venezuela families were on display with the message u.s. hands off venezuela people express their solidarity with president nicolas maduro and some of the demonstrators even more prone maduro to shoot. him on his way on president meanwhile has vowed to crush what he calls a cruel in his country and you choose washington of waging an imperialist world war is not the first time the us government has been accused of meddling in other countries internal affairs. in the by. the.

at the. stanford writers are here still so free what's really going on.

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

it seems like it's all falling apart at the moment and 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 police forces 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 march down the street. whoso onto one and as you can see it's now descending into chaos between the protesters throwing these projectiles and also trying to throw back the pellets of tear gas which has been brought forward by the police you might be able to see if the protesters actually set fire just in the distance there sorry a short 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

be moving these away because there's also work and 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 very 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 of the protest is on the police then responding she 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 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 to. three barricades 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 away absolute chaos here and 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 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 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 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 should 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. well 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 capture the moment of the incident. i. think there's no. more of 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 a manual. but about what we're here to keep mobilizing against the government to maintain the pressure so they don't think that the movement is down 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 rule we are 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. 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 artie's it was done off as commentary. cnn's chief 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 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 mystery that's enough as president one of the knowledge 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 ammo 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 your 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 haters eyes is actually. instead of the time move warned 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 local media is saying at least forty people have died now the collapse released a huge volume of mining waste flooding in rural 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 another dam in the state which burst in two thousand and fifteen contaminating rivers and killing one thousand people. us president to donald trump has signed a bill to lift in 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 wall 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 i mean while trump has tweeted this video to back up his. names about the importance of building the wall. it's not a negotiation you know war 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 illegal immigrant that made 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 welcome to mexico are they does it for me i'll be back with headlines in let's say thirty five minutes you're watching out to international students. i.

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 showbusiness i'll see you then. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

i have to be interviewed in an effort to understand what happened the p.m.c. that came here for small contractors to win the war the fields he took 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. the setup of the best. back and. piece islands off there but the reality is there may still be a ship and. have it in. this fine lair of micro plastics. very. interesting. the biggest thing and shock is that we've never had an empty troll the

fleet. like the holiday meaning of the sounding of an album. people at the same time and 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. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be old for 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 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 in one business shows you can afford to miss the one and only. what is described in the west as a russian invasion of crimea is a fact the presence of russian soldiers in crimea can you clarify that about there could have to go to a bully is typical of a quote but the most of the most go full of the couldn't. as long ago as eighteen zero four sevastopol the naval base became the main military port of the russian empire on the black sea. during the second world war the heroic defense of sevastopol lasted almost a year and took hundreds of thousands of lives. therefore the naval base in crimea has a legacy of historical pride for the russian black sea fleet as well as being of

huge strategic importance. those of us alive back then remember when there were soviet missiles put into cuba how frightened americans were and how angry and how we almost went to a nuclear confrontation over having weapons of that kind of destruction placed that close to the united states. just so if the united states considers cuba to be in its backyard. then crimea plays at russia's doorstep. the consequences of a u.s. seizure of the face or a nato base which internationally. but almost some of us india. is natural. i taught me to. put you on with that. was today and you know unless. you know it's not this book with practical ping at issue. when you have it.

so it's not just in the military use ocean to illicit but if there was no willingness that ended up with the old me the only leader on the. if you will or. it was a piece of the school board. just i'm a part of what i get there but you know we buy. their books so you know we're on the phone fixed amongst the windows me with the c.z. but if you make one time you're a. national system. on national media machine i. suppose to the pigs if we are to act we would sort of the response. to me because you know you seemed up and you know you cannot you just you know and i guess those she didn't know. but you know when you're in the lead you disappear you know the same source and i'm.
