with me welcome to the program. in an all stakes vote british m.p.'s have just backed an amendment that will allow theresa mate to renegotiate one of the most problematic asked aspects of her brakes a deal the issue of the irish border parliament also approved an amendment to reject a no deal scenario the prime minister had this to say following the result. i agree that we should not leave without a deal however simply. simply opposing no deal is not enough to stop it the government will now redouble its efforts to get a deal that this house can support since we've had this debate in the house as in phatic they voted to reject the no deal option the prime minister was supporting cotto i say that we are prepared to meet her to put forward. to put forward the points of view from the labor party all of the kind of agreement we
5:03 pm
want with the european union to protect jobs to protect living standards and to reject rights and conditions in this country tonight the only thing that parliament managed to agree on is that to resume a should go back to brussels and renegotiate the deal that she struck with those opposed to her plan failed to sink it and her deal is still bubbling around in the water to reason may chose to play to the euro skeptics in her party and that gamble seems to have paid off and it's a real change of course for the prime minister who has spent weeks saying that her deal that she struck with brussels isn't up for renegotiation but just before this series of votes this evening the prime minister said that she intends to do just that reopen the deal and renegotiate it she's managed to get the backing of the hardline you're a skeptic's and the d u p which is the party propping up minority government so

finally we've got a little bit of unity and the way ahead has been forged but there is one big problem and this plan is a fantasy some people are calling it a unicorn option because it doesn't really exist to reason has been accused of rising unicorns all the way to. brussels so rather unexpectedly the votes this evening went to reason may's way there were reports of one cabinet minister don saying through the parliamentary lobbies was this evening's going for the government to resign may well say that she's got a mandate now to go back to brussels and start talking again the big question now is what brussels will say in response to that and don't forget it's exactly two months until bragg's it day. cancell president donald tusk post person has stated in the meantime that the e.u. withdrawal agreement is not open for negotiation british historian author dealt.
5:05 pm
with his reaction to the latest. please review here as we are sure seeing before the program the. parliament is one thing or another thing that has a whole negotiated with the european union is something now the european union have to think twice here because all law there was an amendment is called the amendments but then there's actually one of tory m.p.'s who want to remain in. government does not have to follow the reason make a mystery still go and see if we don't agree we're going to leave without a deal so having short her success in managing to sit through an amendment no one thought is going to be through. reason they might actually pull a rabbit out of the hat. the united states is throwing its full economic

5:07 pm
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 in today's action ensures they can no longer loot the assets of the venezuelan people very strong
5:08 pm
would indeed that. we have to understand what the reaction has been from caracas have you know 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 america. besides this nicholas with a strong message to the americans was shown on t.v. and believe it or not it was in english well at least he tried to have a look. do you mean i had. asked. donna how asks the venue for an inside we're actually going to cross over to venezuela now and talk to
5:09 pm
a local journalist norris are. norris it would be interesting for us to understand what the situation in venezuela is this is. right now somehow come to but the political tension is rising each day as part of their response of their majority government against a us sanction today the public prosecutor. to the supreme court. 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 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
5:10 pm
on the side of the constitution all you crew serious. we have made our position very clear about the dictate to or your nature of this regime and so we want to take power never creates an. install a transitional government and free elections. that's how it has to be. as we can see both political actors right now in venezuela. trying to gain the armed forces support as the venison continue to try to resume their daily routines and their expectant of then you said it and brown's approach this fall by opposition are tomorrow at noon and for saturday thanks for giving us an understanding of the situation on the ground in caracas thank you very much back to now we know that the u.s. is supporting. all the any of the countries who have decided that he's the right
5:11 pm
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 but as well. we're extremely worried about the actions of the u.s.
5:12 pm
and its allies towards venezuela which are in flagrant 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 decision of the constitution and the methods of crisis regulation within the constitution of the u.s. in any case it looks like we're definitely up for more and more protests in venezuela and we'll also be watching 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 attempts to undermine the government are three of washington's most hawkish figures some media have been fact them the troika of tyranny. looks now at the team taking on the authorities in caracas at the united nations mike pompei o 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
5:13 pm

5:14 pm
the iran nuclear deal at the center of it is not interested in a campaign of economic pressure to starve the regime of the revenue it uses to fund the 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 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
5:15 pm
for the people of venezuela be good for the people of the united states we both have a lot of stake here. yes honesty is always appreciated the u.s. has 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 what is an i pad back of the a viewing us blockade of an as well and the stranglehold that they put 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 i do when i had their cake and eat it well i mean it's very very a double distorting we think here as these sanctions were being announced some
5:16 pm
notice that the u.s. national security advisers and i pad was turned towards reporters on it was written five thousand troops to colombia a country sharing a border with an assailant whether it was an accident or not colombia's foreign minister congress have strongly rejected the idea saying that colombia intend to use any diplomatic tools. to. save a school most a reason and the reach of that no to the. these
5:17 pm
are little. illegal. purposes perv. we've heard from international law and human rights expert and attorney eva collinge and she says washington's actions raise serious legal questions this is been a decision long in the making venezuela's van 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
5:18 pm
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 that is practically unheard of they are going in and they're trying this first move of the economic strength strangle you know strong hold 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 hire. with links to al-qaeda has detained and tortured civilians in syria
5:19 pm
the organization has also released the testimonies of several victims and you might find some of the following upsetting. used to be out of the cell beat me and then returned me no one asked you single question no one asked me what one 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. they beat me they would police me absolutely down for hours beat me and interrogate
5:20 pm
me it became tougher physically and emotionally. human rights watch claims the detentions and arrests were triggered by protests against the terrier al charlatan group because the dollar has more details when syria's most ruthless battle hardened terrorist elements fled the advances of the country's military taking refuge in the province the u.s. and cole went overboard overboard about our side and russia would turn the lives of ordinary citizens there into a living hell to get to a handful of al-qaeda fighters when russia and the assad regime say they want to counterterrorism they actually mean they want to bomb schools hospitals and homes there are more babies in italy than there are terrorists think of the children well now it turns out terrorists remain terrorists wherever they go all
5:21 pm
and the 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. between residents of. because they were either documenting abuses or were testing six of the older we have documented have apparently been told 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 are 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
5:22 pm
a government forces in danger the tentative ceasefire brokered by russia and turkey . is now undeniable fact the illiberal manes a terrorist haven while we are still committed to the ceasefire deal the recent takeover by two goes beyond the scope of the agreement the russian and turkish military's are working on a roadmap to deal with the threat but it's clear we cannot let it live remain a terrorist hotbed so we'll see the mainstream media have been portraying it as syria's final safe haven of 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. to spoken to the family of libyan journalist mohammed ben khelifa who was killed while covering clashes in the country ten days ago he worked as a freelance contributor to various international news agencies including artie's it

5:24 pm
5:25 pm
economic sanctions are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries that you're talking about. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. we have a responsibility for the hague. and we need to make rules for the rest. because without doubt there will be. when the lawmakers manufacture consensus instead of public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. in the financial

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 courtesy people of us say yes we're in vegas we're talking to big calling guys because we're doing a new series called to the moon and it's about that point in the history because 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 the soft totalitarianism because face crime has officially. jumped the pages of george orwell's one thousand nine hundred four and it exists today in two thousand and one thousand in the united states of course everybody knows about the story of the confrontation between the convent and
5:29 pm
catholic high school student who is sixteen years old and then 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 did another word the native population of america has to be living with this type of totalitarianism for their entire three hundred years here in north america
5:30 pm
and in prison populations you know don't smile don't laugh as you might get you know beaten to within an inch of your life and now here is a privileged white guy on some buddies else's front porch over there in the lands of the native americans who dared to have a face that was inappropriate to the screaming liberal class the so-called liberal networks in america so he's been now called out as somebody worthy of violence i mean this is the way the native americans have been living for hundreds of years they can even use a different expression on their face without getting violently attacked now we know what that's like ok yeah i'm going to like that's gonzo we cover that sort of side of the story and it's a very very very important story because the the native american story has been memory hold that is part of totalitarianism but i'm going to go.
