yeah i think i said it and i think that's a good. british m.p.'s approve a brags that amendments to renegotiate the backstop with ireland which could change the course of trees amazing divorce plan. supreme court freezes opposition leader. bans him from leaving the country that comes right after washington sanctioned the state oil giant and handed control over venezuela's u.s.

based accounts. continued to use all of our diplomatic and economic tools to support interim president. human rights watch the release is a report documenting dozens of cases of terrorists torturing civilians in northern syria we have documented eleven cases in which. residents. were either documenting abuses in the. six. miners. are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our international i'm john thomas glad to have you with us in a high stakes vote british m.p.'s have backed an amendment that will allow

a maid to renegotiate one of the most problematic aspects of her brags 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 be without a deal however simply. simply . no deal is not enough to stop it the government will now redouble its efforts to get a deal that the house kinds of pool. you know since we've had this debate in the house is emphatic they voted to reject the no deal option that the prime minister was supporting cut i say that we are prepared to come meet her to put forward. to put forward the points of view from the labor party all of the kind of agreement we want with the european union to protect jobs to protect living standards and to protect rights and conditions in this country well if you thought your reason mazie

easy withdrawal deal was dead you'd be wrong those opposed to have plan failed to sing kids and had a deal is still pretty much bull being in the water the main issue that politicians manage to agree on is that to resume a should go back to brussels and renegotiate the agreement that she struck with the people free to opinions that differ from that with respect to this because this is the side of the where the prime minister has had to admit that her deal doesn't have the support it will she return to the house tomorrow and give a clear indication about what these alternative arrangements actually are which will be rejected tyrone summitry check because that now experience of the basis of because she bought it is quite frankly i rejoined speaking on behalf i believe all communities in northern to say. that this bill tonight drives

a coach and horses through the good friday agreement yes way it's a real change of course for the prime minister because tourism may spend weeks saying that she current change the e.u. withdrawal deal but just before the series of votes in parliament she made a major uta and said that she'd look for legally binding change is so this thorny issue of the irish backstop in that e.u. withdrawal deal now that's managed. to win the backing of the hardline you're a skeptics in her own party as well as the d.v.d. the democratic and new u.s. party of northern ireland which is propping up to reason may's minority government so finally every sims unity in parliament on the way forward but there is one big problem with this and that is at the moment all this is pure fantasy why brussels

that has repeatedly said that the current deal is not up for renegotiation and they've reiterated it donald turse the president of the european council immediately after the votes in parliament were over said the backstop is part of the withdrawal agreement and the withdrawal agreement is not open for reading go shushan the withdrawal agreement is and remains the best and only way to ensure an orderly withdrawal of the united kingdom from the european union now there is only reason mase side say that all that is just a tactic that is a tactic that brussels uses in its negotiations rather often but the votes in parliament also dealt a major blow to all those politicians that was seeking to delay bragg's as well as those looking for a second referendum that was the reason as the e.u. vote broadly it all went rather well for to reason mate for once to illustrate just how well it went to the government one of her cabinet ministers reserve portuguese

seemed dancing across the lobby to one of the final votes so we have a plan of action forged by parliament finally chiseled out of the chaos but is being called a you know corner option one that doesn't really exist in fact the prime minister's been accused of riding unicorns all the way to brussels because london and the e.u. on now back to being universes apart. associate professor of politics jones thinks the e.u. is likely to reject any revision to the brags that agreement. the whole plan for today tonight's votes have been what do the people who didn't want her deal what do they actually want what she is hoping to do is while not necessarily reopen the negotiations to see if she can get a codicil or something extra and the dependent of the treaty that will be legally binding that you can then come back to the u.k. pound say look i've got something extra here is something that the e.u.

have agreed that we can accept that we can have a time limit on the backstop it's there in writing except to vote for what i've actually negotiated so the problem she's going to have is that she's going to go to the e.u. and she's going to say very very clearly this is what i want for the northern ireland border and what she's going to ask for is likely to be wholly unacceptable to the e.u. and we're back to square one again. venezuela's supreme court has forbidden opposition leader want it wide over from leaving the country freezing his assets and bank accounts it has also opened an investigation into whether he has assisted foreign nations to interfere in internal matters that comes as the united states throws its full economic weight behind venezuela's self declared interim president and it has announced it is transferring control of certain state assets held by american banks to the leader of the crisis stricken countries opposition washington has also imposed 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 tranquil and caracas based journalist notice i got joined my colleague your tutor in the studio to discuss the latest. this is a very bold move by washington is. well known this is the kind of support that any opposition leader turns 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 through of state might pale himself who is certified to have it all right here why. 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

a door was government was cut off besides this seven billion u.s. 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 quiet o. the national assembly and the venezuelans 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 would indeed that we heard india 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 america besides this nicolas maduro sent 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 have a look. how. donna drew. venice for it inside where. going to cross over to venezuela now and talk to a local journalist norris our gold. norris it will be interesting for us to understand what the situation in venezuela is this iteration right now somehow calm but the political tension is rising each day as part of their response of their

majority government against the u.s. sanction today the public prosecutor asked of 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 old 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're waiting for you to be on our side. the soldiers of venezuela what we're waiting for you to be on the side of the constitution all you crew serious. we have made our position very clear about the dictatorial nature of this regime and so we want to take power never treated. install

a transitional government and 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 expectant of then you said and rounds of protests call for 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. we know that the u.s. is supporting. all. so 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 and 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 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 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. i had earlier we spoke to max blumenthal american author and journalist who told us average venezuelans oppose interference in their country from abroad one guy doe was the was a low level legislator in one of the least populous states in venezuela who was known his name was known by maybe one of five venezuelans he is the perfect pawn he is a product of us regime change factories and for average venezuelans who at rates of over eighty percent oppose sanctions and oppose u.s. military intervention this crew that is surrounding and most of them actually exist outside venezuela are anathema because they have been responsible for so much violence in that country and so much destabilization. all right at the forefront of

america's attempts to undermine the moderate government are three of washington's most hawkish figures some media in fact dubbed them the troika of tyranny and 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 you're in league with his may sound familiar either you're with us. if you love freedom and with nations which embrace 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 make the u.n. work work and that is exactly the way it should be because the. united states is. now like bomb peo 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 campaign of economic pressure to starve the regime of the revenue it uses to fund it was actually for 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 old 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 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 back of the cave uing us ativan as well and the stranglehold it 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. 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 are being announced some notice to 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 venezuela and whether that was an accident or not colombia's foreign minister carlos strongly rejected the idea saying that colombia intends to use only diplomatic tools.

and the reach of that note.

human rights watchdog has released a chilling report on abuses by terrorist groups in syria more details have short break desire to international. we see a. good jump from a thought china's into town terrorism. from thought crime to face crime you know facebook should rename itself as face crime because they are assisting in a baby this move toward totalitarianism and the question i guess is why why now why is to tell charles i'm rearing its ugly head in america at this time of this. with this manufactured sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling

they used to pull me out of the cell beat me and then return me no one asked me a single question no one asked me what my 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 place me absolutely down for hours beat me and interrogate me it became tougher physically and emotionally. already human rights watch claims that the detentions and arrests were triggered by a protest against that i had to every year not in

a group which is it goes down our comments. 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 how assad 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 and the children and adults of good liberal like are learning this 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 they crush in its

cradle the new human rights watch report details just some cases we have documented eleven cases in which a. detainee residents of. because they were either documenting abuses or were testing. six of those that we have documented have apparently been tortured you can minors human rights watch isn't the first 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 a government forces in danger the tentative ceasefire brokered by russia and turkey . is now undeniable fact that it live remains a terrorist haven while we're still committed to the cease fire deal the recent takeover by 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 it live remain a terrorist hotbed. so will the mainstream media have been portraying it as syria's 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.g.s. spoken to the family of libyan journalist mohammad bengali for who was killed while covering clashes in the country ten days ago he worked as a freelance contributor to various international news agencies including our video agency ruptly.

if. the. united states can always. use its tax on other countries. economic sanctions are just the beginning another thing you like to do is play some military press or the country is a talking about. and there us to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. we have a responsibility for the hate. and so we need to make rules for the rest of.
