if any of this is. before the. answers these. minutes may be a meaningful. well it's only a few details of the national executive as president of venezuela i want to do you think is way the president is elected by washington to find his way in chaos president europe accuses the u.s. of an attempted coup dr donald trump recognizes the country's towns declared interim leader. a free. without pay should he get anything but all options

on the day. riot police fired tear gas found was a comment on the angry crowds across france is the best movement towards an eleventh weekend of rallies. and it has first interview since being released we hear from an american iranian journalist who spent ten days in custody in the u.s. without charge most of the time i was in solitary i was locked up i couldn't come out everyone's thinking i know my god this is one like a mass murderer what is going on. and very warm welcome to you watching the wakely here on r t international bringing you all the latest and a round of the stories that shape the week. or fast political crisis in venezuela has exasperated turmoil in the country and divided the world this week president majeure accuses the u.s. of an attempted coup after the u.s.

recognized the country's opposition leader as interim president one great owes to himself and as the troubled nation's leader amid massive protests before really going to pick i swear to formally issue the duties of the national executive as president of venezuela i think that it's probably recognize national symbol president one well you know as the interim president of venezuela i want him to do even his way that the president is elected by was. and of course they take anyone from the streets who wants to be a president we're talking to our colleagues in europe and elsewhere to to demonstrate widespread political support for the good of the interim president see if your government you know i am committed to international dialogue today tomorrow and always i'm committed and personally ready if i have to go and meet this guy climb to the top of mount pico humbles at three in the morning and i will if i have

to go naked i'll go naked on foot by car by motorcycle it must be very clear to the world and to this regime that nobody will take part in this fake dialogue. quite as announcement three thousands to the streets of venezuela in both pro and anti government protests follows this week has left twenty people dead at least five hundred were arrested during the rallies carcass based journalist norris reports. it has been received incorrect as with both joy and rejection from both parties and both sides of supporters we are standing right now in a citizen assembly as supporting one white dove and of course some of the national assembly congress men 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 this war in enough one white we're in a situation never before experienced in venezuela 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 they will not come back all the partisan this time and that's coloring buys that matter here the key thing is to save venice and that is what we are doing we're restarting the fight here this is a government of social justice our country has many major oil resources natural wealth and there are many interests that want to get their hands on it given these obstacles the governments of chavez and nama doura have made significant progress washington has also urged the u.n. to recognize the south acclaimed interim president as the lead to the south american country but the u.n. security council fails to resolve the issue the session in new york saw some fish

exchanges here to urge all nations to support the democratic aspirations of the venezuelan people get it because one of you can tell me which article and which provision of the united nations charter you can find a legal basis that itself procure mation it was just this meeting which we've been forced to attend is yet another element to the us regime change strategy either you stand with the forces of freedom or you're in league with material and his mayhem the united states is not big time. the could it it is in advance it's in the vanguard of the coup d'état it is dictating the orders how indeed can any self respecting government possibly justifies supporting the poisonous regime of the nation destroying mr the doura if anything does represent a threat to peace it is the shameless and aggressive actions of the united states and their allies 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 speaking at the un's council there is trumps a controversial chief of u.s. policy on venezuela elliott abrams he served in foreign policy under reagan and bush he was twice convicted of deceiving congress over the arming of nicaraguan rebels and his links to a coup attempt in venezuela in two thousand and two against then leader hugo chavez but as well as the presidents nicholas majeure accuses the us of meddling in his country's internal affairs and this is not the first time or place washington has faced such accusations of looks at whether events in the south american country are following a tried and tested formula. starting an uprising a revolution is simple enough first comes the pressure sanctions built up gradually first it was a few officials and then they sanctioned the president and state companies and the

government itself through deed and word they helped show when they are into a crisis we are evaluating all of our policy options as to what can we do to create a change of conditions were either liberal decides he doesn't have a future or we can return. the government processes to their constitution we are not going to tolerate the dictatorship he's trying to create if venezuelan people deserve better than what the regime of nicolas maduro offers them now that the country and people are in economic misery and you vilified its leaders because hero like thirty five year old u.s. educated head of the national assembly which as it turns out to the united states has been quietly assisting financially and helping for a while who would have thought with. by now you should have

caused enough trouble problems on top of everything out starforce even the app a little into the streets the more noise the better and you mustn't let things calm down keep shouting keep agitating and i was. like. oh. you're going. in the air and the chaos the confusion comes a special moment when lul breaks down when oil. crumble when brother turns on brother in the street partly thanks to you that moment do something crazy like denounce the government proclaim

a new and elected president obama. i'm mike pence the vice president of the united states the united states supports the courageous decision by one god or the president of your national assembly to assert that body's constitutional powers declare madeira your syrup or and call for the establishment of a transitional government now is the time for more direct action to get all your friends on board. recognizes is the president of venezuela and we assist on transition to democracy to liberate the venezuelan people from the dictator but i think brazil has just issued a note recognizing one why do as venezuela's president. will support this realization in a democracy alongside other countries and the lima group we recognize and express our full support for the president of venezuela seemed by the president at the national assembly one it is clear that nicolas maduro is not the legitimate leader

of venezuela so the united kingdom believes that. is the right person to take venezuela forward you see if your country just so happens to be in the americas you're in washington's hemisphere which it seems justifies meddling interfering and changing governments at will but just to be sure but leave them at the know that if you don't get what you want you'll be lights out of them and take what you want. without considering anything but all options are on the day but is that your theory which is all options are always all options and there you go sparking uprisings one o one now this may all take some practice tweak here or there but it works tried and tested time and time again but the consequences are a whole other story. only u.s.

congressman long pole says there's a certain irony and washington's claim to be fighting for democracy in venezuela i think it's going to end up in violence and we could have a civil war and i would think even the people that might not like manure or shouldn't like settling the dispute is internal issue they should settle it and i think it is rather ironic for our government to say that they want to take care of venezuela because they're not democratic and we have to take care of it by you know authoritarian approach of us installing a president having a coup and threaten them with military violence because because they're not democratic enough i would hardly say that our position is very democratic you know and what's happened in syria what has happened earlier on with iraq and afghanistan and libya i mean every time we go in and say well you need help you need to be american eyes you need to know our good values and and we want you to learn what democracy is all about and we'll give you

a little money too if you obey us i'm sure there's some harm done to her oh and others but where is it our job where do we get the moral authority to be the decider. in other news now the yellow vest movement is bull tales to cities all across france for an eleventh weekend and drive protest as defiance kohls front president nixon to negotiate and when that riot police with clowns control missis. protesters actually set fire just in the distance a sorry a short that sarah 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 away exists also work and going at the moment here at the bassy 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 just coming down from all angles of the crowds here water cannons have now been brought in to try and deal with this situation you can see more security forces there just behind us that the firm smashed. the bus that's all going down really is coming into quite curious we've just seen some people injured including one of our colleagues in roughly 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 of places you can see they are getting that flash pulls out now this is to launch to tear gas and we have been termed that release officers here using these flash holes were told me where ringing our party can see the material

can be reviewed off to it yes it was cold we were expecting it to be a come protest on the eleventh weekend but yet again we're seeing move islands from the side the protest is and the police then responding she that you. the protests in paris last until late in the evening with fierce clashes continuing to escalate between the protesters and police several people were injured in saturday's clashes of one protester identified as a popular figure within the yellow vests movement suffered an eye injury he was streaming video of the process at the time and capture the moment he was hit. zero. zero. zero. zero. zero zero. zero zero. zero zero zero zero zero or so this week following massive uproar in the media and from international

n.g.o.s an american a radio and t.v. presenter has been released from custody in the united states to being detained without charge. general aleutian chain saw ok. she was not happy. with unbearable and stretching it was a struggle instructions not being applied. have specified. in an exclusive interview monday his shammy shared the story of head attention with

afshin rattansi host of artie's going underground it was fun private plane. to d.c. and then met with a whole lot of the taken to the f.b.i. i think take the f.b.i. headquarters. was. my my picture was taken mug shan state took my d.n.a. with the owner's regular roads no one is still here revue the roads no one ever read me my rights actually my rights were not read i was treated like a cry in the middle of prisoners when most of the time i was in solitary case i was locked up i couldn't come out everyone's thinking at oh my god this is when like a mass murderer or what is going on international organizations for press freedom expressed their concerns about his family's case and claims that the arrest violates democratic norms during her ten days in detention people gathered to

protest in the u.s. and in iran has was there has sami again. it's not about me is about the ability. of. the u.s. basically to detain anyone. i would say illegally dealt they are going to say that it's legal so it's much bigger than me we want to demand a start to these actions in this country as saying that a material witness is mind boggling that you can be arrested it did change shackles not charged with the crime and. wow i definitely cite first hand. it's me lashes out at you as powerhouses as paris and berlin break into make news to strengthen ties you got that story and much more coming up after the break stay with us.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for them to let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development only really. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. in the united states we've proactively work 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. welcome back now it says there are at least two sides to every story and that's certainly true of a viral video showing a confrontation between a students wearing a make america great again cap and a native american veteran. it is disturbing students mocking native american dad some of them have arrested and jeering at a native american disturbing viral video has sparked outrage toward covington catholic high school just stir being viral video shows the moment seems to make america great again around seeing a native american out there in washington

a troubling incident at the foot of the lincoln memorial i heard him say you know down. here i sit here because we have to stay strong. but instead of going into details in this direction the real crux of the matter a number of media outlets and celebrities have taken alone could approach as if a trying time for us this is a happy word says make america great again they now call it the maggot this is a kook looks klan hoot they used to terrorize freed african-americans in those different shapes uro's purposes however this make america great again hat is just as maddening and frustrating and triggering for me to look at as a k.k.k. hood. many people have called donald trump of filthy racist in the past what's up with this new wave of hat hate now even though something that's now compared to the

k.k.k. fashion has been worn by african-americans or the l.g.b. t.q. community well just remember that white teenagers versus native american vets situation the viral video sweeping the internet of a mob of mag out wearing high school students surrounding a native american chanting in drumming so much and the story was twisted as we learned from videos that emerged later. on. the market made it. look at what. we think. we've got thank you. as you can see the teen dubbed as the shameless bully was just standing still and smiling at the man with the drum who had come up to him but that's not important

because the student was wearing a mag hat people judge me based off one expression and they've gone from there to titling me and labeling me as a racist person do you think if they weren't wearing that hat. this might not have happened or it might have been different that's possible oh the had does mean so much and again don't forget that from now on in the minds of so many people people whose voices matter the red mark a hat is the new white hood without white boys being able to empathize with other people humanity will continue to destroy itself. and so it's probably only natural that americans wearing magers have gotten themselves in trouble. with those. sports and again you're hot if you threw your hat my hat i don't.

like. people like you so who knows how far that kind of bowling may get soon some in the media have tried very hard to make you associate mr trump with the k.k.k. now with this hat situation it must have become a much easier job. at least interior minister matteo salvini has been feeling tension between rome and paris on tuesday he slammed a manual necron unlabeled the french need to terrible president. we in the i hope the french can free themselves from a terrible president and the opportunity will come on may the twenty sixth when finally the french people will be able to take back control of their future destiny and pride which are poorly represented by character like max.

we must address the causes of this crisis because people are leaving africa in part because some european countries led by friends have never stopped being colonizers . it had been a french i hope for the good of the french who are a great people but they come out of that moment of crisis was a libertarian vented product to stand in a way of any change on the horizon that seems obvious to me now. amid the tension between paris and rome germany and france are seeking to strengthen ties that's a european heavyweights have signed a new friendship train say on tuesday wishful set the stage for closer bilateral relations on multiple levels however not everyone is sold on the idea and dissipates all of a report said does sound a bit fake germany and france will put pen to paper on a commitment to close the times this tuesday for the globe and us we believe that

the world has changed dramatically and now more than ever we want to build on what germany and france have already created together the draft of the deal was a little light on real details but there is a clear intent with it let's have a look at the deal was set for an increase in bilateral statements when it comes to major e.u. issues now this is something that's already fairly commonplace from the two now it's going to be in writing there's also plans for both fiscal integration and what's being called the franco germany konami zone. from the military front both nations want their armed forces to be as into twined as their economies with germany and france combining to reinforce nato. defense also what's being called the fostering of a common culture in the ranks and they franco german security council so the brass

the politicians pulling in the same direction there's also foreign policy goals which may prove a little less straightforward including a permanent seat for germany on the u.n. security council but not everyone is happy about these e.u. powerhouses getting even more chummy and cementing their position within. block. europe is used to the franco axis but we're seeking a new balance a new energy and in this sense poland and italy will be the protagonists of this new european spring there's also domestic upset over the deal alternative for germany say it erodes german sovereignty while the same sentiments have been echoed by the usual suspects in france you know so could my sending the sax on the quiet on the way to market on commit treason with brags on the rallies of euro skepticism it makes sense that berlin and paris would look to team up but not brings us back to the question of foreign policy how will the interventionist french sit with the

germans we now need for that coalition. expects a lovely display for the cameras in the border city of aachen on tuesday but we've seen before without any fundamentally changing global military outlook it's hard to see how this deal will change much or anything at all. thanks to choosing on this sunday my colleague that you know on it will be with you at the top of the hour with the latest.

just. that. oh. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamped each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise 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 boom bust. like there's someone else living inside of me by controlling my body. the byproduct of that drug is because like some peer pressure. because it will need. and then to zombie it's crazy. you know we don't have to do anything it's not our fault you know she was crazy and all that. appears traumatic long time to get rid of.

that country's gone into a nihilistic theme that's why i'm thankful and they've got to hit the road and get out there traveling across america the find what makes america take the charlottes and the genius of american hero this is it we found the point around which hollywood has gone inside where starting last with is we're going to head east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the bee i think that would leave now doubling getting more gonzo but that may be completely different by the end of this journey. we made it may get down to the bottom of the above is telling somebody for the moment there's ok up. to this side of the street lovefilm. welcome to the side of the story there.
