engulfed by a massive anti-government protest. let me for a moment i swear to formally assume the duties of the national executive as president of venezuela i know it's probably recognize national symbol president one is the interim president of venezuela i wanted today in venezuela the president is elected by washington and of course they take anyone from the street who wants to be a president and we're talking to our colleagues in europe and elsewhere to to demonstrate widespread political support for the good the interim president see your government you know i am committed to international dialogue today tomorrow and always i'm committed and personally ready to go if i have to go and meet this guy climb to the top of mount pico humboldt's at three in the morning and i will if i have to go naked i'll go naked on foot by car by motorcycle and it must be very

clear to the world and to this regime that nobody will take part in this fake dialogue and water is addressed through tens of thousands onto the streets of the venezuelan capital that also triggered demonstrations in support of madeira twenty people are reported to have been killed in a turmoil and a further five hundred arrested cut across space journalist larissa i've got to has this report. this is being received in iraq as with both a joy and rejection from both parties and both sides of supporters we are standing right now in our studios in assembly supporting one white dove and of course some of the national assembly congressmen 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 way 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. what is this a dinosaur era and that is about to marry do. right here this is a government of social justice our country has many major resources national 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 in the international community is also split over that question of legitimacy the us canada or most of south america as well do now recognize one of our daughters venezuela's interim president a number of other states though including russia china and turkey have lent their backing to president nicolas maduro criticized what they view as an attempted coup

well there when insight to the turmoil in venezuela another group of states has now issued an ultimatum to madeira use q players germany france spain the u.k. as well have warned that if elections are called within eight days they will officially recognized as the country's leader one as well as foreign minister has ridiculed the demand dismissing it as almost childlike on saturday tensions over the crisis were in full display at an emergency un security council meeting. beared urge all nations to support the democratic aspirations of the venezuelan people one of you can tell me in which article and which provision of the united nations charter you can find the legal basis for this program nation and was it just this meeting which we've been forced to attend is yet another regime change strategy either you stand with the forces of freedom or you're in league with his male united states is that. the. it is in advance it's in the

guide that could it it is dictating the orders 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 in foreign policy roles under presidents reagan and bush was twice convicted of deceiving congress over the arming of nicaraguan rebels it was also linked to a coup attempt in vain the way in venezuela back in two thousand and two against then leader hugo chavez what it does if 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 deal and word they helped choke. into a crisis we are waiting all of our policy options 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 back 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

he wrote like thirty five year old u.s. educated head of the national assembly which as it turns out the united states has been quietly assisting financially and helping for a while who would have thought. by now you should have caused enough trouble problems on top of everything out stuff force 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. oh. oh. oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh you're going. in the and the chaos the confusion comes

a special moment when lul breaks down when loyalties 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 i'm elected president. i'm mike pence the vice president of the united states the united states supports the courageous decision by one. the president of your national assembly to assert that body's constitutional powers declare madeira are 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 longway do 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 recession 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 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. to go 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. former u.s. congressman ron paul told us there's a certain irony in washington's claim to be fighting for democracy in venezuela i think it's going to end up in violence and you could have a civil war and i would think even the people that might not like madeira should like i said allowing the dispute is internal issue they should settle it and i think it's 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 buses stalling a president having a coup and threaten them with military violence because because they're not democratic and not i would hardly say that our position is very democratic you know

what's happened in syria what has happened earlier on with iraq and afghanistan in 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 have a us i'm sure there's some harm done by her oh and others but where is it our job where do we get the moral authority to be the decider. eleventh consecutive weekend of yellow vests demonstrations caused havoc in cities across france on saturday fierce clashes breaking out between protesters and police.

well several people were injured in the clashes including a leading figure within the yellow vest movement whose lawyer says he's probably lost his vision in one eye as a protest on the streaming video in paris when he was hit by a flash bang grenade. oh. i think there's no. i mean while a counter protest movement has been launched in paris shot at libyan ski reports from the first red scarf running. this process moving to consume several of the few the whose which translates that the red scarf say all of the empty as she leaves

you only empty yellow vests for to some degree what they saying is they are unhappy with the violence that's been seen in june bring this movement of the should they 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 their 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 so. could in the yellow vests movement but also the destruction of monuments here in france it's not forget back in december the up to three on one of the some moves of the republic was trashed it was vandalized by some of the sioux cool to suggs as the host 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 to get their voice out into the streets and to meet people who know that they want the respect of the republic the respect of democracy to return many people wouldn't say that they've proved present not going you know through the french government they proved the values of the french republic which all we know in the moto of liberty a galaxy and fraternity said one of the things that they shall be seeing is we're also people see where this is since two so a big turnout for this first protest by the red scarfs hey in paris today to monday they the silent majority also heard that the values of the republic of frogs are respected. after the break we'll hear from the american iranian t.v.

presenter who is the rest of us sparked international outrage so it's an interesting question. it's. i happen to be a nigerian effort to understand what happened here the p.m.c. that came here was not a contract as to when the whole war came here was a contractor to train a unit and to create

a from scratch and then to go into combat and the g.p. limiters of. joining me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport business i'm show business i'll see you then. no reply here at all to international a treasured landscape painting has been stolen from moscow's most prominent gallery according to culture officials the artwork is worth around two hundred thousand dollars was taken right in front of unsuspecting visitors medina culture was at the scene with will details. the grand theft happened right behind the store on sunday between six and seven pm the famous painting by

a russian artist that he was simply taking off the wall or at least that's how i witnesses described it a man allegedly dressed as a security guard walked in took the painting off the wall and with a blank expression on his face walked away before anyone could realize it the precious painting was gone to pieces that heap queen i pad tree a famous peak in crimea the painting is insured for two hundred thousand dollars but if auction the price could be several million dollars building up the gallery on sunday it was packed with people as quite a vast exhibition of his works is on display for the first time here at this gallery and over at decade at the moment the building of the gallery is blocked by police who are questioning average one who works there and also checking c.c.t.v. cameras the police are investigating what appears to be an ambitious heist fit for a movie script following massive uproar in the media from international n.g.o.s on

american radio and t.v. presenters been released from custody in the united states after being detained without charge. generation seems ok bad. she was not happy with the fact that certain bad her instructions were there's a statute of instructions for not being a fan and there so that her head start had been removed against her will. and an exclusive interview marzia sherman shared the story of the dissension with afshin rattansi host of artie's going underground. plus flown 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. worsts. my my picture was taken mug shan state took my d.n.a. no one has read you the right no one has still yet read you the rights no one ever read me my rights actually my rights were not read i was treated like a prize 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 is this woman like a mass murderer or what is going on. during her ten days in the tension people gathered to protest in the u.s. and iran is a free journalist again on her attention. it's not about me is about the

ability. of. the us basically to teen anyone. i would say illegally dealt they are going to say that it's legal so it's much bigger to me we want to demand a start to these actions in this country as saying that material witness it is mind boggling that you can be arrested it did change shackles not charged with the crime and. wow i definitely cite first hand. the right least two sides to every story that's certainly true of a viral video showing from taishan stateside between a student wearing a make america great again cap and native american veteran. it is disturbing students mocking native american man some of them have arrested and jeering at

a native american disturbing viral video has sparked outrage toward covington catholic high school just stirring viral video shows the moment seems to make america great again around saying in need of a miracle announcer in washington a troubling incident at the foot of the lincoln memorial i heard him say. here i sit here because we have just been struck. sort of going into details on establishing the real crux of the matter a number of media outlets and celebrities to come will blink approach as you've been trying to report. this is a hat where it says make america great again they now call it the mag that this is a kook looks clan 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 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. the market made it you. look at it. we think. we've got that. right. 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 i 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 maggots have gotten themselves in trouble.

the first. point and again you're hot if you do your house and my hat i don't. like. yeah. yeah so who knows how far that kind of bowling may get soon some of 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 those are the headlines for this hour from the team and myself thanks things you know it seems national will see what i am must go time for the latest global news updates. thank. in the united states

we proactively require brominated flame retardants to be put into furniture and marketing 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. the country's gone into a nihilistic fever. if they can. get out the traveling across america to find what makes america the charlatans the genius the quintessential american hero this is it we've come a point around which element is gone so we always are on the courage to step up this whole culture is really important because.

we're starting last with this is going to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast i think i want to leave now doesn't get any more gondo them it may be completely different but in this. with the let me just manufacture consent instant to the public will. when the room in close is protect themselves. with the flame and merry go round lifts only the one percent so. we can all middle of the room signals. the real news is really. you know world a big part of the lot of us and could see yours good. 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 on the bath 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 for watching closely watching the hawks.

the dragon was designed to sail around the world the wrong way so she actually first passed it when she spilled over about forty five degrees sailing up when it's seventy two feet long such a point you needed to predict asphalt but also the great mass of our conducting fire if lot of people when i was going to go on the first don't think that it's because the atlantic in twenty four teams if they are you pretty rotten the atlantic with fourteen women and you know the chapels would count in terms of oh man he has a good grip each other here out having all the ladies on board is pretty awesome and a lot of people say it can't be done that way proving them wrong death today i'm not a feminist which is the reason that we're having an all girl team air it is really because i'm wanting to understand more about female health plastic accounts for

ninety percent of all trash that finds its way into the ocean in the majority of coastal and island states there is no organized sorting of waste in some areas so much plastic is dumb to watch into the water that the sea is like a toxic plastic soup initially plastic waste this picked up by the stomachs of marine inhabitants and then at the end of the food chain is delivered to our plates before i met the. female crew of sea dragon i've never sailed and did know how to change the world but i did know that if you want to make a change you must start with yourself and as a beginning i decided to make this film. so everything into. allegations that i gauge tell you all the right to be. treated how is that a good deed if it didn't and a savage yes it kind of thing for me it really began about eight years ago i had the opportunity to take a boat around the world.
