is underway in the british house of commons where m.p.'s have so far rejected four amendments to. the us intensifies its efforts to oust president maduro crippling sanctions on the state oil giants and handing control of some financial assets to the leader of the opposition. will continue to use all of our diplomatic and economic tools

to support the interim president. meanwhile the u.s. national security advisor is seen holding a notepad with five thousand troops to colombia written on it meeting to speculation over the trumpet ministrations next move against iraq also ahead. human rights watch releases a report documenting dozens of cases of terrorists. in north korea. eleven cases in which. residents. because they were in the documentary abuses by. minors.

and you're watching live from studio with me. welcome to the program. british m.p.'s are voting on a series of amendments to trace them a so-called bragg's it plan b. they have so far rejected for amendments including one by the opposition labor party to rule out a no deal scenario the outcome could determine how quickly the u.k. leaves the e.u. and the future relationship the country will have with the bloc ahead of the pivotal ballot the prime minister told lawmakers that they must find common ground if they want to avoid a potentially hazardous no deal scenario. this is because none of your manhood size addressed so far will ensure that we deliver bricks it instead of those simply provide more arguments against action and more reasons to stand still rather than setting out a plan to make bricks to work they create further delay and delay with out a plan is not a solution it's a road to nowhere what we can do today is send a clear message to brussels about what it is this house wants to see change in

withdrawal agreement in order to be able to support it. we can cross live to our correspondent in london polly book-o. who's been following this probably there's a lot of stake any indication as to which way it's all going to play out. this evening brings to mind a quote by bismarck that laws are like sausages it's better not to see them being made that certainly what springs to mind when you watch the politicians shuffling in and out of the voting lobbies but in terms of what's happening the latest amendment to have been voted on and it was one that was much discussed it could have drastically changed the course really that brags it takes was one that was known as the yvette cooper amendment it called for braggs it to be delayed until the end of the year if there was no deal in place by the end of february that was voted down so it's a pretty big blow to all the politicians who wanted to really use this

parliamentary process to exclude the possibility of a no deal bragg's it throughout the debate and all the way through really this process there has been no shortage of critics keen to talk about the way to reason may has handled this process take a listen to what they had to say earlier today. because they have it both ways long be saying that she absolutely will leave on march the twenty ninth in all. circumstances whatever happens and then simple tenuously say there will be an opportunity for parliament to have some future values and decide what happens next there is no deal she's male supporting the brady amendment to noise so she will be voting against her. how does she expect this house to provide an alternative when she's going to go against everton do you think this is

a government denial split from top to bottom and incapable of uniting themselves let alone the country we have so much to lose for breaks and nothing nothing to gain it's perfectly obvious. you know we're not remotely good i'm sure we've quit in the sixty year old to sixty days before we need more trial and where does this all leave to reason may's beleaguered gregg's it deal with drawl deal rather well it's still bubbling around in the water it certainly hasn't sunk like a stone yet despite the fact that tourism a has spent several weeks saying that she can't change the deal that she struck with brussels but hours before the vote this evening the prime minister then said that she intends to go back to brussels and renegotiate the deal and they are about to vote on on this particular change

of course of action and it looks as though she's got the backing of the euro skeptics in her party and the d u p which is the democratic unionist party of northern ireland which is propping up to reason may's minority government the only problem with to resume a stated course of action which might get the approval of parliament in a moment is that it is called a fantasy by critics why well earlier today to resume a did concede in parliament that there is limited appetite in brussels for rio. opening and renegotiating her deal that is probably the understatement of the century brussels has said repeatedly that the current deal is not for renegotiation this option is being called a unicorn one because it's not really an option that exists according to brussels according to reason may's critics but that looks like the policy that's being

forged by parliament as we speak as i said even though brussels has repeatedly rejected this notion and goes on to reason may's side of course say that refusing to renegotiate is all part of the negotiation process those against to resume a strategy say that she's riding roughshod all over the deal that she herself spent two years negotiating so a very interesting path that's being sold out it's still in the process of being voted on we're going to see this option preferred option of to resume a's goes ahead but it will leave us in an interesting situation we might have agreement in london but london in brussels will be worlds apart all over again and of course we're just two months away from briggs it day. table tennis isn't it

polly and i'm sure you'll keep us updated over the next few hours on the book of a reporter lunde. the united states is throwing its full economic weight behind venezuela's self declared interim president one it has announced it's transferring control of certain state assets held by american banks to the leader of the crisis stricken countries opposition washington's also impose sanctions on venezuela's state owned oil company in an effort to choke off revenue to the government of nicolas maduro which it says has no legitimacy obviously but trenker and caracas based journalist norris are got joins us with the latest. this is a very bold move by washington isn't a well known this is the kind of support that any opposition leader turned self-proclaimed president would dream of anywhere around the world just think about it the u.s. state department has issued a document in fact it was six three of state might pump ale himself who is

certified to have it all right here one guy go to receive and control certain properties and assets that belong to the government of venezuela that are in american banks that is after earlier this week washington punished venezuela's state owned all giant with sanctions and that meant immediately that the key source of revenue form of government was cut off besides this seven billion us dollars worth of assets in american banks were frozen and the american officials have made it clear that they won't hesitate to do more we will continue to use all of our diplomatic and economic tools to support interim president quiete the national assembly and the venezuelan people efforts to restore their democracy but we have continued to expose the corruption of madeira and his cronies and today's action

ensures they can no longer loot the assets of the venezuelan people very strong would indeed that we. we have to understand what the reaction has been from caracas have you got any idea how they have reacted to the american decision while president nicolas maduro likes to reacts with leaving and he doesn't hesitate either he has already tried cutting all diplomatic ties with the u.s. and this particular case his authorities in caracas banned the opposition leader from leaving the country in order for him not to take advantage of these super generous gifts from. besides this nicolas maduro sent a strong message to the americans it was shown on t.v. and believe it or not it was in english well at least he tried have a look golly only look at. him more on these communities how. venice runa. how. asked. for it inside

we're actually going to cross over to venezuela now and talk to a local journalist norris our gold. norris it would be interesting for us to understand what the situation in venezuela is this iteration right now somehow calmed but the political tension is rising each day as part of their response of their majority government against a u.s. sanction today the public prosecutor asked to the supreme court to back one wedo from leaving the country and also froze all his bank accounts after a criminal probe due to he's criminal activities against the government has been a juror meanwhile both mature and white flight in. control of their armed forces and both of them are talking to them trying to persuade them somehow to support either or the other if they don't want the soldiers of venezuela we are waiting for

you to be on our side. the soldiers of venezuela what we are waiting for you to be on the side of the constitution all you crew serious. we have made our position very clear about the tour your nature of this regime and so we want to take power never treated. install a transitional government free elections. that's how it has to be. as we can see both political actors right now in venice all are trying to gain the armed forces support as of an assault and continue to try to resume their daily routines and they're expected of then you said and rounds of protests paul but your position for tomorrow at noon and for saturday thanks for giving us an understanding of the situation on the ground in caracas thank you very much. now

we know that the u.s. is supporting. are there any other countries who have decided that he's the right man for the job and that they are absolutely right most of the support is coming from america but we also have to take the european union into consideration and think america's allies are the strongest players there that includes the u.k. germany france and also spain and they have also said ultimatum for nicolas maduro they want him to announce an early election as early as this sunday and if that doesn't happen these countries will also recognize one as the interim leader of caracas however on the other hand thema door government has the full backing of moscow and the russian officials the most senior of them have on numerous occasions blamed western powers for trying to orchestrate

a coup from outside as well as with the rouge we're extremely worried about the actions of the u.s. and its allies towards venezuela which are in playgroup violation of international law. we along with other responsible members of the international community would do everything to support the legitimate government of venezuela led by nicolas maduro in his assertion of the constitution and the methods of crisis regulation within the constitution of the rules. in any case it looks like we're definitely up for more and more protests in venezuela and we'll also be watching out for that sunday deadline but knowing nicolas maduro the way he is it is very unlikely that he's going to back down at the forefront of america's times to undermine the motive of government three of washington's most hawkish camp because some media have in fact dubbed them the troika of tyranny auntie's came to the team taking on the authorities in caracas. i think a night of nations might pompei oh drew

a line in the sand 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 his made him sound familiar either you're with us. if you love freedom and with nations with your bridge freedom or you are the enemy yes their ideas are not new but now they're linking arms in the global spotlight some call them the axis of evil or the troika of tyranny meet mike pompei oh elliott abrams and john bolton the three amigos of imperialism john bolton was a big supporter of the iraq war and he represented the united states in the united nations an organization he really didn't care for very much the united states makes the u.n. work work and that is exactly where you should be because the. united states is. now mike pompei o is the new kid on the block without very much experience as head of the cia he tried to get the authority to conduct drone

strikes in afghanistan without the pentagon's oversight and he worked day and night to rip up the iran nuclear deal at the center of it is not interested in a campaign of economic pressure to visit to starve the regime of the revenue it uses to fund stabilization of these throughout the middle east and indeed around the world now back in the spotlight after years of obscurity meet convicted criminal elliott abrams he was tied to massacres in el salvador any help to funnel weapons to the contras in nicaragua he was convicted for his role in covering it all up and he received a presidential pardon now he's a special envoy for venezuela it seems that his record in latin america has really impressed certain people america's new dream team is now taking aim at venezuela why because they just care so much for those poor oh pressed venezuelans they want them to have a chance at freedom and democracy right or is it something else. it will make a big difference to the united states economically if we could have american oil

companies really invest in and produce the oil capabilities in venezuela be good for the people of venezuela be good for the people of the united states we both have a lot at stake here yes honesty is always appreciated the u.s. is once again talking about basically another war for oil so that it introduces these moral complications and gives rise to some serious questions about the u.s. motivations here and it's very frustrating from an american point of view it's one thing for trump to announce oh i support this other guy and that's great but but but these sanctions are kind of an act of violence in themselves i think we have to put this in the kind of the campaign uing us have been as well and the stranglehold it but on the economy of the country which is having very real humanitarian consequences for the people there it is a question of you know washington and it allies in europe and elsewhere want their

cake and they want to have their cake and eat it i mean it's very they're double distorting we think here. as these sanctions were being announced some notice that the u.s. national security advisers notepad was turned towards reporters on it was written five thousand troops to colombia a country sharing a border with and this way that some have suggested it was simply an accident of this that it was intentional. and. thank you thank you thank you still mostly by reason and the reach of that note.

thank you. we've heard from international law and human rights expert and attorney eva golinger she says washington's actions raises serious legal questions this is been a decision long in the making venice was vanna anticipating that at some point along the line of this escalation of aggression coming out of washington towards them in their own government it could and in the seizing of venice was assets in the united states i don't think it's overwhelmingly surprising however that doesn't

mean that venezuela is prepared for it or that it's legally ok i think that there are some serious legal questions here over does the united states government have the authority to seize the sovereign assets of another nation just because they host them in an institution in the united states and then at the same time the question of where are those assets going the state department and the treasury department they've been very clear that they are saving those assets they will be protecting those assets and then handing them to the opposition leader i mean that is practically unheard of they are going in and they're trying this first move of the economics trying to strangle you know stronghold of venezuela's economy trying to crush essential event as well as access to any of its assets united states in an attempt to just further pressure the government to resign which doesn't appear to be having that impact in venezuela. a chilling report by human rights watch says high authority or al shabab an armed group with links to al qaida has detained and

tortured civilians in syria the organization has also released the testimonies of several victims and you might find some of the following upsetting. used to call me out to the cell beat me and then return me no one asked me a single question no one asked me what were name was. these torture moments i remember them in detail every day people died in front of my eyes the maximum you can do is move your shoulders a bit and scream for help but on several occasions they stuffed things in my mouth so i couldn't scream.

children and adults of a global like are learning the hard way this month. a un designated terrorist alliance subjugated the other rebel factions and seized power across the province any attempt of dissent big crush in its cradle the new human rights watch report details just some cases we have documented eleven cases in which. residents are. because they were either documenting abuses or were just. six of the older we have documented. torture you can minors human rights watch isn't the first organization to produce such a report either as well as arbitrary detention and brutal beatings thieving looting and corruption rampant clashes and infighting are also adding to the anguish of civilians violence repeatedly spills beyond the borders of the province to just

last week at least four hundred militants attacked the government forces which is now undeniable liberal manes a terrorist haven while we're still committee. for the ceasefire deal the recent takeover by syria russia goes beyond the scope of the agreement the russian and turkish military's are working on a road map to deal with the threat but it's clear we cannot let a liberal main a terrorist hotbed so wolf the mainstream media have been portraying it liberates syria as the final safe haven the last major rebel held hotspot the last rebel holdout the last major stronghold of active opposition to the rule of president bashar al assad all those praying to survive to see another day there are unlikely to agree. r.t. has spoken to the family of the libyan journalist mohammed and cuddle with killed while covering clashes in the country ten days ago he worked as a freelance contributor to various international news agencies including video agency ruptly.

by max kaiser this is the kaiser report i'm in vegas with stacey we're shooting a new show a new series we're just pop in a moment like courtesy people of us say yes we're in vegas we're talking to big calling guys because we're a new series called to the moon and it's about that point in the history between it's really fun and you know while we've been here not only do we see billy idol yeah he's awesome but there is a new thing that exposes what we've been covering for the past year or two we certainly covered it in gonzo and that's just soft totalitarianism because face crime has officially. jumped the pages of george orwell's one thousand nine hundred four and it exists today and two thousand and nineteen in the united states of course everybody knows about the story the confrontation between the convent and

catholic high school student who's sixteen years old and the elder from the native american tribe and you know we're not going to go into that because whatever you want to think about what happened is what happened but face kind became official because just to remind you of what face crime is in one thousand nine hundred four in any case to wear an improper expression on your face to look incredulous when a victory was announced for example was itself a punishable offense there was even a word for it in newspeak face crime it was called so many in the resistance. and many well known hollywood sorts were calling for the punching of this boy in the face because of his smug face you know welcome to cherokee nation.
