it says we're going to destroy the government in seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with them money others with their 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. days before withdrawing from a landmark arms control agreement the us announces it's going to start producing a new thermo nuclear warhead. also coming up on the program sanctions nation the venezuelan president claims donald trump sought to build that crisis hit country's supreme court launches a criminal investigation into the u.s.

backed opposition leader also ahead. but it's been absolutely clear is my contacts with the european union leaders is that they want to deal with this house voted for last night it's back to the negotiating table for british prime minister trees in may after parliament supports a bid to rework her stall breaks it's. live from our international news center this is r.t. good to have your company my names you know 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 agreements signed by the leaders of the u.s. and the u.s.s.r. government teat the elimination of an entire category of nuclear arms america has a year marked the development of a new nuclear warhead. which moscow sais is

a cause for concern. them as far as the announcement about the u.s. beginning to manufacture a new low to 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 of what we wish list 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 started through a new. major or. workmen's to me and a lot of the new tree were green in their research which. cannot be.

treated so there's not one dominated country and we're all because you could be an engine 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 intermediate 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 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 and nuclear. world powers it 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 she between china and united states and the archers.

sometimes lose. their phone and sort of listen. to turley and from a national security. countries like the. troops you could see through food and agree with. well some of the end of the news lines coming from this story as the animosity between the u.s. and venice wheelus 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. well while washington claims nicolas maduro locks that to the missi as president does actively pushing for his overthrow it's repeatedly denied plotting his

assassination are trying to join me in the studio earlier with the latest on the turmoil in venezuela the things that mr moore was saying lately on the one hand it as been typical nicolas maduro furious about everything america's doing on the other hand mr maduro is saying that he's absolutely ready to talk to donald trump anywhere in the u.s. and minnesota 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 gore you do know caracas was forced to act when washington said that it was pretty much handing over the floor choose 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 dot allowed to leave the country and he's now also being investigated for attempts to assist other countries in 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 adviser john. 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 new 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 ultimatum for mr wood or they promise that they will recognize one as the legitimate leader of the country unless they cost him a door and now is an early election before the end of this week but this isn't enough for one why do in an interview with the german magazine build he says that he once more helped by the way that interview was titled built means the hope of venezuela. 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 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 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. 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 majority government as the all. all 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 in 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 or british labor party m.p. chris williamson tools artie's going underground that he fears a us military intervention in venice we could have disastrous consequences but we cannot tolerate in my opinion is external intervention of the states or any other western power for that matter we've seen where they sense in the past haven't we both on the confidence of lots in america and elsewhere in the world this is the same old playbook and you know it always ends in a disaster and the most i you know clearly there must be problems right now and i tell you all they could get a hell of a lot worse and what we could end up with is

a bloody civil war a bloody civil war actually with u.s. ground troops involved in that they speak with full don't give my opinion those who are claiming to you know be concerned about the plight of poor venezuelans because what they are doing they are they are taking supporting a path that will impoverish and potentially cause the law itself hundreds of thousands if not millions of venezuelans. ok moving the program all know the former head of starbucks has announced he's considering running for the us presidency next year howard schultz took a swipe at president trump in doing so who was quick to fire back. we're living at a most fragile time not only the fact that this president 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 runs in trump tower well mr schultz his announcement was slammed by the democrats as well who fear the independent candidate could split their votes i want to see america when i don't care if you're democrat independent libertarian republican bring me your ideas well his critics call for a boycott all starbucks are urging people to get their coffee elsewhere we asked people in new york what they thought about howard schultz is chances of becoming the next american leader. he has a right to run 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. 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 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 his 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 if you all of new yorkers will legal analyst jennifer braden 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 donald trump 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 of that he's mentioned wanting to run as an independent you know a buck across the atlantic the u.k.'s prime minister is heading back to brussels to

seek a breakthrough on the regs that the latest details are almost plenty more besides after this. holds and you saw. a lot they didn't show it which i. saw you want to express. some want. to go to. this is what. are you. the. interesting. thing.

i. i. sixty minutes past six pm here in moscow welcome back a russian senator has been arrested during a parliament close session in front of his peers over his alleged involvement in two murders from almost a decade ago ortiz maria finish the shed's like the details which could make the case far from straightforward on wednesday morning that i came to he's working

downtown most early at russia's federation council senate the upper termer of the country's parliament everything was just as usual until he was arrested reportedly in the middle of a live session at the council with eyewitnesses saying he was taken out of the hole by federal agents reports also that the country's general prosecutor and they had all 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 very young man who has already spent almost half of his life in politics represents russia's north caucuses a republic of which a king. in the senate and he's right now charged with at least two murders committed in two thousand and ten the killing of a coach over to the 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 missed out a short 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 centers 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 we'll follow it for you and keep you updated. as talk breaks it shall we and u.k. prime minister koizumi scored something of a victory in parliament on tuesday in a crucial vote of british m.p.'s buchtel amendment but with her to renegotiate a major sticking point in her brakes a deal out of the irish border seemed to bring an element of unity to a very divided westminster it drew reaction from the opposition leader to. me it would have been very good would have been really nice if the prime minister to acknowledge that she did with these to try and support no deal and was defeated. whilst the prime minister may have woman the support of her fellow parliament. tarion she noted faces the challenge of getting the e.u. to open talks she's already facing resistance from the block's chief brags that negotiator michel barnier who so the position of brussels remains on changed

artie's with more. but it's been absolutely clear with my contacts with the european union leaders is that they want to do what this house voted for last night is to leave the european union with the deal but it also crucially showed what it will take to see sport in this house for sure a deal in the future i think the plan that was set out last night shows that we can attain a substantial. sustainable majority in this house. well if you saw to reason may's easy with the draw deal was dead you'd be wrong those opposed to have 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 it's a real change of course for the prime minister because to resume

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 would 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 reason may'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 goshi ition 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 tell a brags that as well as those looking for a second referendum i was really run 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 polyploid call historian un commentator adel darwish believes the e.u. needs to curfew consider its next moves as well 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 their government does not have to follow the reason macon's the still go and see if we don't agree we're going to leave without a deal leaving without a devious with sides but let's speak of the friend she will have above over one hundred eighty thousand people rely on the ease of lorries passing through the door

so the french food. so giving 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 investor these and the pressure on. my feeling is had the eleventh hour probably even the fifty nine minutes the european union would actually clinch a deal. is building in the united states after the state of new york signed into law rules to 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 as a catholic i don't govern as

a catholic i don't legislate as a catholic ok let's go through some of those new regulations firstly abortion has been taken out of the criminal code to become a public health issue and where previously it was only doctors who could carry out the procedure medical professionals can now go to one of the big controversial changes abortions will be allowed after twenty four weeks of pregnancy on the grounds of serious health issues on the spot the outcry over the new law there's also been strong lobbying in favor of it with passage of the reproductive health fact new york can find a great to be a model of what sexual and reproductive health care should be especially with mounting attacks on the health and rights from washington obstetrician gynecologist . lawyer morning late i three 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 that 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 continue your get a safe legal abortion so if a woman decides she wants to get an abortion she doesn't want to have the baby come into this world you know with those sorts of challenges over all i think the right to choose is more important than anything that society thinks scientifically as soon as the sperm and the meats and unite and form a zygote or an embryo and you consider that speak to the beginning of what's 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 in the numbers will be small so. every child matters every life natters 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 of potential for late term abortions is certainly there now. south american experts who are next on a cross talk peter and gas talk venice we live in the midst of a coup this is twenty four seven r.t. international. i mean i mean i didn't know you know your stuff. on t.v.
