or. feel. the. police. police. which will move east to national executive vice president of venezuela. venezuela the president is elected. president of much duro cues is the u.s. of plotting a coup in venezuela as washington throws its weight behind the country's self-proclaimed leader. pretty. clear that it would not pay should be anything but all options are

on the day. french riot police fired tear gas on angry crowds as the yellow vests movement and the eleven from weekend of around eight. and a valuable painting is stolen from one of moscow's busiest museums and. gallery during working hours. broadcasting live direct from our studios moscow this is our international with our weekly program but have with us all right venezuela's political crisis deepened this week on wednesday president maduro accused the u.s. of attempting to orchestrate a coup after washington decided to recognize venezuela's opposition leader as in term president one had swung himself in as that leader earlier that day as the country was engulfed by anti-government to unrest. for me for bringing that up i

swear to formalise soon the duties of the national executive as president of venezuela i know it's probably recognize national symbol president one quite you know as the interim president of venezuela i wanted today in venezuela the president is elected by washington and of course they take anyone from st joseph 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 of the interim president see if you want to compliment you go i am committed to international dialogue today tomorrow and always i'm committed and personally ready you know if i have to go and meet this guy climb to the top of mount pico humbles at three in the morning i will have to go naked i'll go make it on foot by car by motorcycle then it must be very clear to the world and to this regime and nobody will take part in this fake

dialogue. delivered his speech in front of ten tens of thousands of supporters in caracas and there were also demonstrations for my door on twenty people were reported to have been killed in the turmoil and a further five hundred were arrested journalist noise got reports now from the venezuelan camp. 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 doe and of course some of the national assembly congressman 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 one white we're in a situation never before experienced in venezuela so people are coming home because this is us the nice rooms it's not the political parties it's not the national assembly it's the venezuelan score 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 the key thing is to save venice and that is what we are doing where's 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 do it has made significant progress. all right the question of who is in charge in venezuela has divided world powers the u.s. canada and most south american states have recognized as venezuela's interim president a number of other countries including russia china and turkey while they're standing by president nicolas maduro criticizing what they view as a coup attempt and with no end in sight to the turmoil in venezuela another group of states has issued an ultimatum to madeira four of them in fact germany spain

france and the u.k. well they have warned that if elections are not called within eight days they will officially recognize it as venezuela's leader maduro has rejected that demand and his foreign minister has dismissed the deadline as childish on saturday tensions were on full display at an emergency u.n. security council meeting. here 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 for the cell phone program nation and was it just this meeting which we've been forced to attend is yet some of the elements of us regime change strategy either you stand with the forces of freedom or you're in league with his male united states is not be named the. it is in advance it's in there and god that could it it is dictating the order how indeed

can any self respecting government possibly justifies supporting the poisonous regime of the nation destroying missed in the doura if anything goes represents 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 he served in foreign policy roles under presidents ronald reagan and george w. bush he was twice convicted of deceiving congress over the arming of nicaraguan rebels and he was linked to a coup attempt in venezuela in two thousand and two against the late leader hugo chavez but our guys have comments now on whether the u.s. is following a tried and tested formula in venezuela. thought seeing an uprising

a revolution is simple enough thirst 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 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 for us even the app political into the streets the more noise the better and you mustn't let things calm down keep shouting keep agita. eating. in the air and the chaos the confusion comes a special moment when lure 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 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 or your syrup or and call for the establishment of a transitional government now is the time for more direct action get all your friends on board. be a recognized this is the president of venezuela and we assist on transition to democracy to liberate and then israel's people from the. village just as you did not recognizing one we were going to go as venezuela's president. but also before

this recession in a democracy alongside other countries and the immigrant we recognize and express our full support for the president of venezuela seemed by the president of the national assembly. 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 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 foreign interference in venezuela is likely to make matters worse for the country's people 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 its 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 by monsieur oh and others but where is it our job where do we get the moral authority to be the decider. yellow vests and rallies have broadcast a french cities for an eleventh weekend fierce clashes broke out on saturday between protesters and police.

i. several people were injured in the clashes including a leading figure in the yellow vest movement to drum rodriguez was hit in the face by a flash grenade and says that he may lose the sight in his right eye it was streaming video inside the house. i. i i i i he said. look. i've had my i've been stitched up because. as to whether i'm going to regain my sight i will find out someone at some weeks old and i make stream me angry because these are things i should not be happening today in front of stores what they doing

is totally unacceptable the president is unhappy about what is happening in venezuela or in other countries and yet he is willing to mistreat his own people so i have to recover and i will return to the protests as soon as i can because the battle will be long and tough but we have a call for a better fronts and for a more humane well. meanwhile a counter protest movement has been launched in paris are to reports now from the first red scarf rally. this protest movement of the female whose which translates the red scarfs they are the empty as you live in the empty yellow vests to some degree what they saying is they're unhappy with the violence that's been seeing to marine this movement of the shoe the jones yellow best 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 there against the violence there against these

threats 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 destruction of more new material frogs that's not forget back in december the off the tree on one of the symbols of the republic was trashed it was vandalized by some of the su cool to a spin 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 hit to get they've research into the streets and to meet people who know that they won't the respect of the republic the respect of democracy to return many people wouldn't say that they proved present back when you know through the french government they proved the values over the french republic which are we know in the

motu of liberty a galaxy and fraternity so. one of the things that they're shouting is we're also people to see with assistance to you so a big turnout for this first protest by the red scarfs hit him. ours today demanding that they use so i look majority also that the values of the republic of frogs are respected. they treasure the landscape a painting has been stolen from moscow's most prominent our gallery according to a culture of officials the artwork which is worth almost two hundred thousand dollars was taken right in front of unsuspecting visitors or it was meant in a coach has more 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 a massive uproar in the media and from international n.g.o.s and american iranian t.v. presenter has been released from custody in the united states after being detained

without charge. you know she seems ok back. she was not happy. with half bad certain bad her instructions were there's a statute of instructions not being accountable and also about perhaps past had been the answer of well. in an exclusive interview on mars yeah how shammy shared the story of her detention with have seen written say most of our team is going underground. 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. i was. my my picture was taken mug shan state took my d.n.a. there when is ready the right no one has still yet read you 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 case 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 here is the freed journalist once again. it's not about me is about the ability. or the u.s.

basically to detain anyone. i would say illegal a joke they are going to say that it's legal so it's much bigger than me we want to demand a stop to these actions in this country as so saying that i'm a true witness it is mind boggling that you can be arrested detained shall cause not charged with the crime and. wow i definitely saw it firsthand. he said there are at least two sides to every story and that is certainly true of a viral video showing a confrontation between a student wearing a make america great again cap and a native american veteran. it is disturbing students rocking native american dad some of them harassing and jeering at a native american disturbing viral video has sparked outrage toward covington

catholic high school just stirring viral video shows a model team saying make america great again around singing 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 i have to we have to stay strong. in the full video of that incident you can see provocation and racism coming from both sides but instead of going into the details a number of media outlets and celebrities put their own spin on the story as artie's illiad to try to go comments. this is a hat where it says make america great again they now call it the maggot hat this is a kook looks klan hoot they used to terrorize fried african americans and 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 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 video sweeping the internet of a mob of mag 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. that make a mockery. look at what. we think. we've got thank you look again. as you can see the teen dubbed as

a shameless bully was just standing still and smiling at the man with the drum who 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 and 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. your hand if you threw your hat my hand i don't. like. you. i don't 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. greek nationalists have clashed with police in thessaloniki at a march against a deal with macedonia to end a long running naming dispute protesters blocked roads and several people were arrested.

all crowds gathered in the city on sunday night voicing their anger over a visit by the greek president this comes two days after athens ratified a deal to establish a new name for the former yugoslav republic of macedonia a country is now known as north macedonia but many greeks object to the new name saying it implies a historical claim to the greek province of macedonia. that does for me more news in thirty five minutes and the weekly stay with us. i happen to be a nigerian effort to understand what happened here the p.m.c. that came here was not a contractor who won the award 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 objectives. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten point zero or more in tempe each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth he wants to be all for rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business shows you can afford to miss the ones. you know only. you know world of big movies 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 for watching closely watching the hawks. countries gone into a nihilistic theme that's why i can thank and they got to hit the road and get out the traveling across america the find what makes america the charlatans the genius of america here this is it we point around which hollywood has gone insane we're

starting last with is going to head east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast i think that leaves now doesn't get any more gonzo but that may be completely different by the end of this journey. we made it may get down to the love of telling. her the money is ok. let's go to this side of the street love feel. welcome on the side of the story. well it's good to be there but at the owners. this is the locus of the law against this. she represents a classic american novel and a lot of dystopian nightmare hollywood tonight and theories of the death of the american dream are we any good. is america reached in games
