so i just got this memo. that says we're going to destroy the government in seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with them money others with lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war surely we can risk some discomfort and easiness for. this hour's headlines stories days before withdrawing from a landmark arms control agreement with the u.s. it's going to start producing a new you can. sanctions on assassination in venezuela and president claims donald trump hits on him as the crisis head country the supreme court's launches a criminal investigation into the u.s. by opposition leader also coming up on the program. because until now

redouble its efforts to get a deal that this house can support it's back to the negotiating table for british prime minister treason may haue for parliament supports a bid to rework her stalled breaks. reverie you're tuning in from right around the world this hour welcome to moscow and to our to international good to have your company i mean o'neill their top story washington will begin its official withdrawal from the line mark i.n.f. treaty before the end of this week for over thirty years the agreement signed by the leaders of the u.s. and the u.s.s.r. government to be elimination of an entire category of nuclear arms america has earmarked the development of a new nuclear warhead which russia sees as

a cause for concern. still casus them 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. it is the pentagon's newest toy the w seventy six dash two when it is essentially i mean you less baggage less radiation less fallout and most importantly less responsibility i think you start through a new. major or. workmen's. and law. there restrict what can be developed and what cannot be. treated so there's not

one dominated country and we're all could do could be an age of other countries 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 really gets on the old nerves here is. the commander in chief

of the united states is unpredictability and seemingly his habit of threatening everyone 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 said we are 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 we're 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.

be true china united states and the archers. sometimes use threats. or so on and so on listen. to turley and from a national security we like to. know the truth as you consider the country of freedom to remove those who are going. to another big story of the day as the animosity between the us and dennis willis socialist government grows president nicolas maduro has accused donald trump of ordering his assassination no doubt that trump 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. while washington claims nicolas maduro lacks legitimacy as president and is actively pushing for his overthrow it has repeatedly deny plotting his assassination. a little earlier in the studio with the

latest on the turmoil in the south american nation the things that mr moore was saying lately on the one hand it has been typical nicolas maduro furious about everything america's doing on 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 floor chains belonging to the mid dora government although they were an american banks to the opposition leader and so now. assets and accounts. have been frozen he's gotten allowed to leave the country and he's now also being investigated for attempts to assist other countries and to feeling and vent as well as internal affairs now in response to that already caracas has been promised severe consequences by donald trump's national security adviser john paul we know that the u.s. has no alone in terms of support for the opposition leader where other countries coming down in this and 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 blog for now the u.k. still in their germany france and spain they have sent an alternate from for mr moore they promise that they will recognize one bill as the legitimate leader of the country unless the cost of a door and now is an early election before the end of this week but this isn't enough for one in an interview with the german you magazine build he says that he once more helped by the way that interview was titled built meets the hope of venezuela. germany and europe for supporting the activists who have we hope the e.u. is serious about the ultimate sums against makhdoom and reach a conclusion on the situation we can almost be one hundred percent certain that the

all to may. some 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 asked president by the way russia also had something to say about that ultimatum by some european union countries as it relates any initiatives to mediation must be unbiased they should come from different players who 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 must be the only purpose if the goal is to push through what's already been decided there's no need for such mediation russia has been backing the government as the old the 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 as well 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. political analyst chris bambery also told me that keeping the military on side will be critical to the duros survival as president. if there was going to be an american intervention which cannot be ruled out given america's history in latin 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 despite the 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 evoke so many so many memories of past american interventions in one america. the former head of starbucks has announced he's considering running for the u.s. presidency next year howard schultz took a swipe arts president trump in doing so who was quick of course to fire back were living at the most fragile time not only the fact the dispersant is not qualified to be the president but the fact that both parties are consistently not doing what's necessary and be here for 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 are in the hope that starbucks is still paying me their rent in trump tower. not so happy new list of the pew either mr schultz is a nice middle islam by democrats as well who fear the independent candidate could split their vote. i want to see america when i don't care if you're democrat independent libertarian republican bring me your ideas as critics have not call for a boycott of starbucks on are urging people to get their coffee elsewhere we asked people in new york city what they thought about howard schultz chances of becoming the next american leader. he has a right. he wants to run i think that 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 and 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 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 country and i think that seems a rather pointless idea. legal analyst jennifer britton told us why she believes many democrats are so angry about schulz's announcement. now if you look historically at 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 spilling over on to howard schultz for the democrats they think that anybody that could take away from their shot to beat 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 would be voting for an independent any of that they could leave dullish up 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. dejavu the u.k.'s

prime minister is heading back to brussels to seek a breakthrough on the regs that the latest details on plenty more besides right after this. i've been saying the numbers. that matter to us is over one trillion dollars and. more than him going over. this. eighty five percent of global will you want to be on the bridge the six percent markets on the. percent i just want to secure some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to

early at russia's federation council senate the upper chamber of the country's parliament and everything was just as usual until he was arrested reportedly in the middle of a life session of the council with eye witnesses saying he was taken out of the hole by federal agents reports also are that the country's 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 a kid a 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 of mr of the senate to 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 the top managers at russia's gas giant gazprom 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 all thirty billion rubles which is more than for her. 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. british prime minister treason may scored something of a victory in parliament on tuesday in a crucial vote british m.p.'s but then the amendment that would allow her to renegotiate a major sticking point in her breaks a deal out of the issue of the irish border and the vote seemed to bring an element of unity to a very divided westminster drew reaction as well from opposition leader germany corben who's ready apparently to meet the pm halfway on the deal this finer points . since we've had this debate in the house is in fact to the voted to reject the no deal option 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 well whilst the prime minister may have won the support of her fellow parliamentarian she faces the challenge of getting the you to reopen talks though she's already facing resistance from brussels chief breaks with negotiator michel barnier who sees their position remains unchanged with the latest breakdown on all violence. the government will now redouble its efforts to get a deal that this house can support mr speaker is this house can come together we can deliver the decision the british people took in june two thousand and sixty 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 mazie you would draw a 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 weeks 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 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 resume a's minority government so finally there is some 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 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 delay a brags that as well as there is looking for a second referendum i was really wrong and as the vote broadly it all went rather

well for to reason made 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. on now back to being universes apart we heard an interesting point of view from historian and commentator adel darwish who is of the belief that the e.u. next move needs kerf will consider ration despite brussels having the upper hand. the negotiation inside parliament is one thing they're not taking in as

a whole negotiating with your opinion is something now the european union have to think twice here because their government does not have to follow the reason make him stay still go and see if we don't agree we're going to leave without a deal leaving without a devious with harm both sides but let's speak of the french you have above over one hundred eighty thousand people rely on the ease of lorries passing through dover to cali to french foods so giving the trouble the president micro going through now i don't think he would sort of accept actually going out with a deal then you have the german car in dusty's and the pressure on anglo merkel my feeling is the eleventh hour probably even the fifty ninth minute the european union would actually clinch a deal. fungus growing in the u.s.

after the state of new york signed into law rules that ease abortion regulations the governor has faced wide criticism and even calls from the roman catholic church for him to be excommunicated under cuomo defended his position. i have my own catholic beliefs how i live my life that is my business or the catholic i don't govern as a catholic i don't legislate as a catholic. now let's take a look at actually those new regulations what they're saying firstly abortion has been taken out of the criminal code to become a public health issue where previously it was only doctors who could carry out the procedure medical professionals can do one of the big controversial changes abortions will be allowed after twenty four weeks of pregnancy on the grounds of serious health issues and despite the outcry over the new law there has also been strong lobbying in favor of it. with passage of the reproductive health fact new york can finally grow to be

a model of what sexual and reproductive health care should be especially with mounting attacks on our health and rights from washington. obstetrician gynecologist omar hamaha a lawyer morny laid out the pro-life and pro-choice arguments for us. often a woman doesn't even know she's pregnant until weeks later they didn't get the abortion early on so this law i think the progressive wing were very very thrilled that cuomo signed this into law and that women are able to have control over their destinies and even if it is a late term abortion that they can get new york is going to be seen as sort of be the women's reproductive sanctuary in the nation that if a woman needs to get a late term abortion that she can come to new york get a safe legal abortion so if the woman decides she wants to get an abortion she does want to have the baby come into this world you know what those sorts of challenges overall i think the right to choose is more important than anything that society

thinks scientifically as soon as the sperm and the meat and unite. form a zygote or an embryo and you consider that speak to the beginning of what because all things there are present the only thing separating that from a baby that you hold it is just time i think the danger is that it does open the door for late term abortions and the numbers will be small so. every child matters are realized matters so that's why we are resisting it i don't think will so i guess i don't think we'll see a huge number increase in abortions but at the same time i think the possibility or potential for late term abortions is certainly there now. for up to the minute up dates on the day's big developments our twitter page is well worth a follow on i'm back in thirty with more to live from moscow this is our to
