this war in one way we're in a situation never before experienced in venezuela 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 right reasons for our mission for our homes for our children they will not come back oh the party this and this and that's coloring buys that matter here is the key thing is to save venice and that is what we're doing where are you in the fight here this is a government of social justice or 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 do have made significant progress the international community is also divided over the question of the duros legitimacy you can see the u.s. canada most of south america as well have recognized. as and as well as interim

president a number of other states including russia china and turkey as well have lent their backing to president nicolas maduro they've criticized what they view as an attempted coup now with no end in sight to the turmoil in venezuela there's another group of states that has issued an ultimatum now to. the e.u.'s key players germany spain france the u.k. as well have warned that if elections are not held in eight days they will officially recognized door as the country's leader and as well as foreign minister has ridiculed at the moment dismissing it as almost childlike on saturday tensions over the crisis were on full display at the emergency u.n. security council meeting. to urge all nations to support the democratic aspirations of the venezuelan people get a big one of you can tell me in which article and which provision of the united nations charter you can find the legal basis. it was just this meeting which we've

been forced to attend is yet another element of us regime change strategy either you stand with the forces of freedom or you're in league with and has made the united states is that. the. it is in advance it's in there. that could it it is the ordinary how indeed can any self respecting government possibly justifies supporting the poisonous regime of the nation destroying missed in 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 end there was donald trump's controversial new special envoy for venezuela elliott abrams served in foreign policy roles under presidents reagan and bush he was twice convicted of deceiving

congress over the. rebels and he was also linked to a coup attempt in venezuela in two thousand and two against then leader hugo chavez . looks now at whether the u.s. is following a tried and tested formula in venezuela. 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 choke then they 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 is 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 pick a 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. was. 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 paula. 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 or your serp are 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 in the lima group we recognize and express our full support for the president theophanous a seemed by the president of 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 bully them let them know that if you don't get what you want you'll beat the lights out of them and take what you want. without considering anything but

all options are on the day that you're very 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. former u.s. congressman ron paul told us there's a certain on winning in washington his 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 to do if you obey us i'm sure there's some harm done by monsieur oh and others but where is it our job where do we get the moral authority to be the decider. and eleventh consecutive weekend of yellow vest demonstrations schools have a can city schools fronts on saturday fierce clashes broke out between poachers this and police.

several people were injured in the clashes including a leading figure within the yellow vest movement who suffered a severe injury in the streaming video of the protests in paris when he was hit. i said it is hello i mean while a counter protest movement house benoist in paris shot devinsky reports from the first red scarf rally. this protest movement to consume says the fuel whose which

translates that the red scarf say on the empty as she lives on the empty yellow vests for some degree while they saying is they're unhappy with the violence that's been seeing him during this movement of the shooting jonesy yellow vests since november seventeenth i just wanted to get a sense of just how many people of turned out for this protest today this protest to say that they food democracy they're against the violence they're against its rights and they hate to describe themselves to show that they are the silent majority many people have said that they want their voices to be heard and they want a democracy to be respected there are happy with not just the violence occurred in the yellow vests movement but also the just struction more new material front that's not forget back into. somebody off the tree on one of the some balloons of the republic was trashed it was vandalized by some of the super cool to thugs let's

move off of that yellow vest movement and some of the people here say they also yellow vests to people that supported the movement at the beginning they want to see some change in france but there are unhappy with how it's progress and so they hate it to get their voice actions the streets and to make people who know that they want the respect of the republic the respect of democracy to return many people wouldn't say that their troop presence not going you know through the french government they prove the values of the french republic which all we know in the motu of liberty a galaxy and fraternity say one of the things that they shall thing is we're also people see we're the say since to you so a big turnout for this first protest by the red scarfs hey in paris today demanding that they the silent majority also heard that the values of the republic of frogs are respected off the bright parrot we hear from the american iranian t.v.

presenter who was arrested in the us sparked international outrage see just a few moments. in the united states we proactively require 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. i happened to be interviewed in the effort to understand what happened here the p.m.c. that came here for small contractors to win the war came here was

a contract to train a unit and to create a from scratch and then to go into combat and the g.p. movement will stick. with the weekly following massive uproar in the media and from international n.g.o.s and american arabian t.v. presenter has been released from custody in the united states to be detained without charge.

emotion seems ok bad. she was not happy. with half bad certain doubt her instructions were there's a statute of instructions not being accounted. for have staff had been removed against her will. an exclusive interview might as he has shown me share the story of her detention with afshin rattansi host the parties going on about. own private plane. to d.c. and then met with a whole lot of that taken to the f.b.i. i think take the f.b.i. headquarters. i was. my my picture was taken mug shantz they took my d.n.a.

there when i was ready the right no one is still yet ready the rights no one ever read me my rights 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 k. i was locked up i couldn't come out everyone's thinking at oh my god is this what mike a mass murderer or what is going on. during her ten days in detention people gathered to protest in the u.s. and iran hears from journalists again on her experience it's not about me is about the ability. of the u.s. basically to. anyone. i would say illegal a joke they are going to say that it's legal so it's much bigger to me we want to demand. to these actions in this country as so saying that i'm

a true witness it is mind boggling that you can be arrested it did change shall cause not charge with the crime and. wow i definitely saw it firsthand. clever ations are being held this sunday in russia's northern capital of st petersburg today marks seventy five years who is the end of the siege of leningrad which gripped the city for more than two years or in the second world war president putin laid flowers at the memorial of the fallen soldier in his home city earlier a large parade was held as well over two thousand military personnel marched past the winter palace where the iconic moment in schmoozy and was located on the city's central square are two spoke to some veterans who experienced the horrors of that siege. movie it was pure horror but we were such patriots who didn't think the siege would last long i remember the day it was announced with thought that maybe in three months we will advance we believed in it until the very end the faith is

what kept us alive i never thought about live in leningrad we can't believe in the end of the siege was near you do you mean you are here to block out of me there was no childhood for me during the siege it was a horror that we young boys only survived because we were able to bear more suffering than the elderly i remember sometimes our relatives who died. in the night the next morning we wake up next to a dead person that was our childhood i remember how would you in a most difficult period we would find endearing barrels and there'd be a viscous residue at the bottom we boiled in ate it that's how we survived. the evacuation through this so-called road of life is one of the most memorable things from the sea i remember how the car driving behind us sank in the lake after being hit by a nazi bomb it was a horrible experience i have no positive memories from that time. nazi germany b.c. leningrad for eight hundred seventy two days one of the deadliest blockades in

history more than a million people died mostly from starvation and cold the only route for supplies to reach the city was across a frozen lake called the road of life. now it said there are at least two sides to every story that certain truth a viral video showing a confrontation stateside between a student wearing a make america great again cap at native american veteran. it is disturbing students mocking native american man some of them harassing and jeering at a native american disturbing viral video has sparked outrage toward covington catholic high school just stir being viral video shows a modern team see 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. here this is here. we have just been struck i was thought of going into details and

establishing the real crux of the matter a number of media outlets and celebrities to come or blanket approach. reports. this is a hat where it says make america great again they now call it the maggot hat this is a kook klux klan hoot they used to terrorize freed african-americans in those different shapes eras 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 a filthy racist in the past what's up with this new wave of have 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 in 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 a 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 you 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 magazine have gotten themselves in trouble. with the law. in the first. point and again you're hot if you do your house my hand i don't. like. people like you so who knows how far that kind of bullying 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 like this than with us in all the international we back at the top of the hour with the latest global news headlines we'll see you back fence they soon. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president i'm sure. some will want to. have to go right to press the saliva before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. first of all.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter us is over twenty trillion dollars and more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be rich eight point six percent of the market saw thirty percent just 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 ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust. countries gone into a nihilistic fever just want to thank god it hit the road and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america the scholl it is and that's the genius of

this place especially american hero this is it we've come a point about how much hollywood has done something we always are on them i just something. called the culture as a party. where starting last with is going to headed east into the swamp we're going into. belly the beast i think i want to leave now doesn't getting morganton on the net it may be completely different in the us. there are mental illnesses that can't be fixed maybe without the medicines. you know the medicine fixes the issue once or twice or three times and then all of a sudden on the fourth time or the fifth time the medicine doesn't work anymore and the issue just gets worse because. you know they never addressed the problems in the first place and so they describe put on more about us and until they're not no
