leaving the country also ahead. the government double its efforts to get a deal the peace house can support. its back to the negotiating table for british prime minister trees in may after parliament supports a bid to rework her stole. twenty four hour news live from moscow this is your r.t. international good to have your company i mean and our top story washington will begin its official withdrawal from the landmark i.n.f. treaty before the end of this week for over thirty years the agreement signed by the leaders of the us and the u.s.s.r. guaranteed the elimination of an entire account agree of nuclear arms but now america has earmarked the development of a new nuclear warhead which russia sees is

a cause for concern. as far as the announcement about the u.s. beginning to manufacture a new low yield nuclear warhead i remind you that the topic was already included in last year's review of washington's policy in the nucular sphere even then we expressed our serious concern about the fact that the production of such warheads lower the threshold for a nuclear conflict and as such increases the risk of nuclear conflict well emotional it is the pentagon's newest toy the w seventy six dash two when it is essentially i mean new less baggage less radiation less fallout and most importantly less responsibility i think you started through a new. major or. workmen's. and a lot of new true. their research work can be developed and what cannot be.

treated so there's not one dominated country and we're all you can do could be a huge motherfuckers naturally this new nuclear arms race is not america's fault but every what outsiders namely the usual suspects since twenty ten we have seen the return of great power competition to varying degrees russia and china have made clear that they seek to substantially revise the post cold war international order and norms of behavior we could of course beat a dead horse and again point out that russia is not even in the same the as the us when it comes to military budgets in fact russian military spending has been for the ng for years while america's has ballooned symbolic as well within days the us should begin withdrawing from the in to mediate range nuclear forces treaty blaming russia's development of a cruise missile but we only get on the old nerves here is. the commander in chief

of the united states is unpredictability and seemingly his habit of threatening everyone is we have more money than anybody else by far we'll build it up so we have a tremendous amount of money to play with the military and we're going to develop the weapons funding to modernize our nuclear arsenal so important but we're spending a tremendous amount of money on our nuclear arsenal nobody will have close when now two minutes to midnight on the doomsday clock on the brink or now officially into a new cold war a nuclear arms race world powers that each other's throats and no light at the end of the tunnel countries will continue to make threats against other countries just like what's happening no. treaty to go she the rule of major treaty to

go shoot between china and the united states and the exercise sometimes. put your phone and so on listen. to turley and from a national security. countries like two. hundred. troops you consider going through food and. living political turmoil in venezuela has risen to a new level with president maduro directly accusing donald trump of ordering his assassination. no doubt that gave an order to kill me he told the colombian government the colombian mafia to kill me if something happens to me one day and the colombian president will be responsible. well those remarks come soon after the country's supreme court launched a criminal probe against the self the third interim president a deal with more on all the developments here so leave

a trend go the things that mr moore was saying lately on the one hand it has been typical nicolas maduro furious about everything america's doing all you want is our oil and our resources that's something a lot of resources that biggest reserves in the world we have to we have to point out i don't way that's true although the other hand mr wood door is saying that he's absolutely ready to talk to donald trump anywhere in the u.s. and minister and any kind of format and he's sure that these kind of negotiations will be a great success although he says that donald trump's advisors in america would never allow this kind of meeting to happen so he mediately takes a step back well just to remind you and this is how he addressed what donald trump was doing and donald trump himself just a little earlier this week. when

it comes to mr goh i do know caracas was forced to act when washington said that it was pretty much handing over the fortunes belonging to the majority government although they were in american banks to the opposition leader and so now. assets and accounts in venezuela have been frozen he's not allowed to leave the country and he's now also being investigated for attempts to assist other countries and to feeling invent as well as internal affairs now in response to. that already caracas has been promised severe consequences by donald trump's national security advisor john white just wiping the site because we know that the

u.s. has no alone in terms of support for the opposition leader where other countries coming down and in this in this divide really if we look at the opposition support surely america has been the champion we've got to think the here in this case because some of the strongest players of the block for now the u.k. still in there germany france and spain they have said and also made some for mr moore they promise that they will recognize one glyde zero as the legitimate leader of the country unless they close the door and now and says an early election before the end of this week but this isn't enough for one glide oh in an interview with the. magazine built he says that he once more help by the way that interview was titled built the whole event is well we think germany and europe for supporting the activists who have we hope the e.u.

is serious about the ultimatum is against and reach a conclusion on the situation well we can almost be one hundred percent certain that the ultimatum will bite the dust and fall flat because mr meridor is saying the next elections in his country won't happen before twenty twenty five and that is the official and of his term as president by the way russia also had something to say about that ultimatum by some european union countries with. any initiatives to mediation must be unbiased they should come from different places you have an influence both on the government and the opposition plus we have to understand the purpose. of preparing the ground for a compromise between the sides. to be the only purpose if the goal is to push through what's already been decided there's no need for such mediation for instance

the suggested it could become a mediator but at the same time some very influential member states such an old soul mate some from the dura russia has been backing the government as the old me a legitimate government of venezuela which was in fact elected however moscow has said many times that it's ready to become a mediator in the crisis well just now we heard from the russian ambassador and venezuela that so far no such requests have been received by moscow from the opposition or the government so the russian side will be waiting for that to happen before it starts any kind of action i also spoke earlier to political analyst chris bambery he is of the view that money is key to keeping the two at all in power. if there was going to be an american intervention which cannot be ruled out given america's history and wants in america the key players here are colombia which

daggers drawn with manure and brazil its own neighbor to the south with its new president right wing president the problem is is this white huge oil reserve the venezuelan economy is struggling they're struggling to pay pensions they're struggling to pay and this is a key factor here madeira has to pay the army if he doesn't pay the army given the economic general economic situation even before these sanctions this question marks over that that would be a major threat to him so he's going to have to find money to keep the army in place if the pensions etc i don't think you can rule it out and i think the option would have to take would be some sort of humanitarian intervention to stop violence because a direct american invasion would have walked so many so many memories of past american interventions in one america. you know this story we're keeping an eye on today a former starbucks head has announced he's considering running for the u.s. presidency next year howard schultz began by lashing out at president trump who was

quick to fire back we're living at a most fragile time not only the fact that dispersant is not qualified to be the president but the fact that both parties are consistently not doing what's necessary on behalf of the american people howard schultz doesn't have the guts to run for president watched him on sixty minutes last night and i agree with him that he's not the smartest person besides america already has that arnie hope that starbucks is still paying me their rent in trump tower well mr schultz is announcement was slammed by the democrats as well who fear he will split the voters and independent candidates with no affiliation to any political party. i want to see america when i don't care if you're democrat independent libertarian republican bring me your ideas you his critics have called in fact for a boycott of starbucks on urging people to get their coffee elsewhere we asked people in new york city what they thought about howard schultz is chances of

becoming a mom in the oval office. he has a right turn he wants to run i think he could do just as bit of a job as the president now i feel like you need some sort of experience with like a public office i think he definitely would have a lot of people who would be interested in seeing what he has to say. spectacularly if he's trying to bring down trump but you divide the ticket that he could easily lead. with a minority of the vote if you ran as an independent it would really hurt. it would help substances of getting reelected i think it will actually hurt trump. over the excessive for sure i don't know why people would say that i mean just because he's running for president as mission boycott him i don't believe in boycotts of anything i think people should have their opinions and be able to do what they want to in a free countries seems

a rather pointless idea well legal analyst jennifer braden believes the democrats dislike anyone who could boost trump's reelection chances in twenty twenty now if you look historically u.s. presidential elections and most of these campaigns historically third party candidates independents libertarians other parties they generally are not successful they end up splitting away from the opposing base and so we have seen that historically however twenty twenty is looking to shape up to be a different year frankly and almost ironically because of what donald trump has done in the white house which is change the way things are going changing a lot of the narrative so what we're seeing here is actually the hate for donald trump from the democratic party that's spilling over on to howard schultz for the democrats they think that anybody that could take away from their shot to be donald trump in two thousand and twenty anybody that might take away from that anybody that might run as an independent and take away votes from the democrats because

they have been voting for an independent any of that they could leave down the shop in power the democrats are going to hate they're going to come after them they're going to be angry they're going to be afraid so that's why we're seeing some of the animosity now coming out against howard schultz because of because that he's mentioned wanting to run as an independent. meanwhile across the. u.k. prime minister may in a bid to rework her stalled deal but it could turn out to be a short. one. you know world big partisan. and conspiracy it's time to wake up

to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. join me every thursday on the elec simon chill and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

sixty minutes into the program welcome back a russian senator has been arrested during a parliamentary closed session in front of his peers over his alleged involvement in two murders from almost a decade ago ortiz maria phenomena sheds light on details that could make the case a complicated one on wednesday morning that all thought i should go came to his work in downtown moscow at russia's federation council asenath the upper chamber of the country's parliament and everything was just as usual until he was arrested reportedly in the middle of a live session at the council with eye witnesses saying he was taken out of the hole by federal agents reports also are that the country is. general prosecutor and the head of russia's investigative committee were also both personally at the scene just hours before that mr colleagues in the senate had reported missing quickly

voted to strip him of his legal immunity and sanction he's a rast thirty two year old politician and a very young man who has already spent almost half of his life in politics represents russia's north caucuses a republic of which a case in the senate and he's right now charged with at least two murders committed in two thousand and ten the killing of at the chair which a case of public youth movements deputy chairman short and the killing of then the republican presidents advisor brutally beaten before dying from a bullet russia's investigative committee says that mr sugar was also charged with other crimes reportedly among them creating a criminal network these are very serious charges guilty missed out a shrug of the senator may face a life imprisonment reportedly right now he denies all the accusations the investigation is now obviously continuing and in the most recent development the sentence father was also detained in his office in st petersburg he is one of top

managers at russia's gas giant gas problem to be more precise one of its branches responsible for providing with gaz russia northern regions including st petersburg and he's now reportedly charged with embezzlement of thirty billion rubles which is more than four hundred million dollars a very interesting case investigation is now on to go in and the searches related to that at least seven russian cities will follow it for you and keep you updated. we need to talk a little about british prime minister trees may scored something of a victory in parliament on tuesday in a crucial vote british m.p.'s bucked an amendment that would allow her to. to renegotiate a major sticking point in her brakes a daily issue of the irish border under-vote seem to bring an element of unity to a very divided at westminster even the leader of the opposition party germy corba

now seems ready to engage in discussions since we've had this debate in the house as in phatic the voted to reject the no deal option that the prime minister was supporting how do i say that we are prepared to meet her to put forward i 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 reject rights and conditions in this country whilst the prime minister may have won the support of her fellow parliamentarians she now faces another challenge that is going to the e.u. to reopen it talks and she's already facing resistance from the chief breaks that negotiator michel barnier who say brussels business should and remains on changed polly boy has been following this story for some time here's her latest take. the government will now redouble its efforts to get a deal that this house can support mr speaker if this house can come together we

can deliver the decision the british people took in june two thousand and sixteen restore faith in our democracy and get on with building a country that works for everyone and as prime minister and work with members across the house to do just. well if you thought your reason mase withdrawal deal was dead you'd be wrong those opposed to her plan failed to sing kids and her 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 it's a real change of course for the prime minister because tourism a spent a week saying that she can't change the e.u. withdrawal deal but just before this series of votes in parliament she made a major u.-turn and said that she'd look for legally binding changes to the

thorny issue of the irish backstop in that e.u. withdrawal deal now that managed to win her the backing of the hardline you're a skeptics in her own party as well as the d p the democratic and new u.s. party of northern ireland which is propping up to reason may's minority government so finally there is 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 tusk 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 read a go she should withdraw all agree. 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 tell a brags that as well as those looking for a second referendum i was three rising as the e.u. vote broadly it all went rather well for to reason mate for once to illustrate just how well it went for the government one of our cabinet ministers was reportedly seen 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.

and now back to being universes apart boy go on and brag sets where we spoke to historian commentator adel darwish you say is that whilst the ball may be in the use court brussels needs to perfectly consider its next step the negotiation. is one thing they're not taking it as a whole negotiating with european union is something that's now the european union have to think twice here because the government does not have to follow reason macon's the still go and see if we don't agree we're going to leave without it be leaving without a devious with sides but let's speak of the french have above over one hundred eighty thousand people rely on the ease of lorries passing over the french. so giving the rubber the president micro going through now i

don't think he would sort of accept actually going out with that idea and then you have the german guard investor these the pressure on. my feeling is at the eleventh hour probably even the fifty nine minutes the european union would actually clinch a deal strange thought but surveillance has not apart and could become so sophisticated that some are questioning if your groceries are spying on you watching the hawks on pics not and it starts in moments. u.s.

veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going out for the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either they're already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the circular defense office says we're got to act and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with them money others without lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war then surely we can risk some discomfort for uneasiness for peace. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to go right to be

close this is what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. there should be more. pressure on the sand had. no problem what i saw. right out of goods that are on our show but rather across the top of the fourth and out of here that. i'm going to let them but i don't cut and then you cut them and keep an eye on what i did through the china federal fall that. make them. then i was on a show that also. a lot of the. and that's what i would hate for not

doing. good it's whole full plate choice the i knew you had an unfair artsy time in serious in a british yards away. from my lot farther to me after the whole front around mr hates it for jim and then we are far from it are fairly minute for. me the only. greetings and salutations while the twenty first century is just now graduating high school and entering its freshman year of college that hasn't stopped twenty first century technology from racing forward like a high speed bullet train and speed so they were blanketed by technological marvels that were not even thought possible just ten years ago imagine handing today's i

phone or i pad to someone back in two thousand and five or trying to explain how today we can truly control every aspect of our homes our work and maybe even our lives with a well placed app on our home computer or smartphone but with this boom in technology of convenience comes with a new twenty first century style thirst for information not the information written down in books or libraries but your information how you look at why you look how you think why you think has quickly become one of the most valuable of commodities on the market and trust me when i say everybody wants a piece of you because my friends it's true everyone everyone wants something of yours even your friendly neighborhood corporate drugstore chain walgreens yes walgreens is dipping its green toe into the into the world of monitise metadata is they recently unveiled their new smart coolers which the wall street journal describes as a digital merchandising platform that depicts the food and drink inside in their

best light but also has an in-store billboard that can serve ads to consumers who approach based on variables such as the approximate age the technique the technology believes they are or their gender and the weather outside how do they achieve this great new ability to advertise to us by embedding not just digital screens in our favorite so dials but cameras that will scan shoppers spaces and make inferences on their age gender as well as track their irises to determine which model of mountain dew or pepsi is caught your eye. welcome my friends to the new age of consumer surveillance it's not just the government that wants your metal data anymore which means it's time for us to start watching the hawks. this week.
