attempting to force regime change in venezuela brought to you by the trumpet ministration washington's close interference in the internal affairs of this latin american country is risky legal in the possibility of large scale violence is very real one thing is certain the people of venezuela will suffer the most. days before withdrawing from a landmark arms control agreement the u.s. announces it will begin manufacturing a new type of nuclear warhead. as washington steps up its efforts to force the venezuelan president nicolas maduro claims or did his assassination. to speak honestly clear is my contacts with the european union

leaders is that they want to deal with this house voted for last night. and it's back to the negotiating table the british prime minister theresa may off the parliament supports a bit rework her stalled and brags that deal. it's eight o'clock here in moscow and you're watching all t international live from austria with me. welcome to the program washington will begin its official withdrawal from the. treaty before the end of this week for over thirty years the agreement signed by the leaders of the us. guaranteed the elimination of an entire category of nuclear arms and now america has the development of a new nuclear warhead which moscow says 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. 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. global. 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 league as the us when it comes to military budgets in fact russian military spending has been fooling 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 we have more money than anybody else by far we'll build it up so we have a tremendous amount of money to. like with the iraq 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 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 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 now. major treated. in the united states and the exercise sometimes.

put your soul in sort of the same. from a national security. countries like the. troops you could see. as the animosity between the u.s. and venezuela a 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 donald trump and the colombian president will be responsible while washington claims. lacks legitimacy as president and is actively pushing for his overthrow repeatedly tonight plotting his assassination. unit and. with the latest on the turmoil in fairness when. 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 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. i mean how.

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 mid dora government although they were an american banks to the opposition leader and so now . assets and accounts in venice will 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 adviser john bolton we know that the u.s. isn't alone in terms of support for the opposition leader where other countries coming down in this and this is a 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 their germany france and spain they have sent in all to me from for mr moore they promise that they will recognize one as the legitimate leader of the country unless nicolas maduro announces an early election before the end of this week but this isn't enough for one in an interview with the german magazine build he says that he once more help 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 old some items against makhdoom and reach a conclusion on the situation we can almost be one hundred percent certain that the all to may. will bite the dust and fall flat because mr adore 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 rush up also had something to say about that ultimatum by some european union countries. 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 mood dura 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 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 an overview of what's happening on the ground now we're joined now by janice norris our god she's in the venezuelan capital where. protests are expected later on wednesday can you give us a sense of the situation now in caracas. where here now to me are square one of the most. persistent supporters protests venue their place is a very crowded today after one way to call for a new round of protest after he and east investigated. by the. government

supreme court and the public prosecutor activities against the government earlier today we so president nicolas maduro obesity and the troops the armed forces trying to gain their support and so has done a one way to who has been speaking to the armed forces trying both of them to win. support of the armed forces of one of the most important estimates of the venezuelan politics but let's see what a nicolaas mature assent to the troops today. it's the first time this has happened indicates just how disparate the white house is they can't cope with when is the it's a delicate matter what am i doing i'm fulfilling my duty as a supreme commander under the constitution. meanwhile the u.s. government has recognized as the interim president of venezuela and actually

congratulated him also today the one employee at the u.s. said that the opposition will not engage into any kind of a dialogue with the venezuelan government today president nicolas maduro said as well that there's a lot against him too and he's alive and the blood would be starting to rise of from colombia and from other countries of the region ok thank you for that update norris are reporting from caracas thank you very much. british labor party m.p. chris williamson told thought he's going underground that he fears a u.s. military intervention in venezuela could have disastrous consequences. what 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 are both on the continents of latin america and elsewhere in the world this is the same old playbook and you know it always ends in a disaster and i'm also you know clearly there must've problems right now but i

tell you what they could get a hell of a lot worse and what we could end up with is a bloody civil war bloody civil war actually with u.s. ground troops involved in that they speak with forked tongue in my opinion those who are claiming to be concerned about the plight of poor venezuelans because what they are doing they are they are taking or supporting a path that will impoverish and potentially cost the law itself hundreds of thousands if not millions of venezuela is. being reported in recent days that the bank of england has refused to allow the government access to the gold reserves its holding for the last whale economists and cofounder of democracy at work which it will of told us the move is highly problematic. for the venezuelans who put the money into the care of the british by to determine what is done with it it is not for the bank of england to pick who it's going to give money to that comes from

another society they can't continue apparently to be the neutral place where you can safely put your money as many many countries do they seem to be under the thumb of the united states and who is telling them what to do in this venezuela all the initiative is taken by the united states and that is a signal to every other country that has or may have difficulties with the united states that they better get their money out of england out of london because that's not a safe place as it once was. a former head of starbucks has announced he's considering running for the u.s. presidency next year how much took a swipe at president trump in doing so he 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 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 arnie hope that starbucks is still paying me their rent in trump tower mr shields his announcement was slammed by the democrats as well who fear the independent candidate could split their. i want to see america when i don't care if you're democrat independent libertarian republican bring me your ideas is critics of our called for a boycott of starbucks and the russian people to get that coffee elsewhere we asked people in new york what they thought about how much chance of becoming the next american. has a right to run like 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 independent it would really hurt. it would help his 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 is 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 i think that seems a rather pointless idea. and told us why she believes many democrats are so angry about since i last went. 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 change in 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 because prime minister is heading back to brussels to seek a breakthrough on bragg's that latest details just after the shooting. you know world of big. lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart 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 for watching closely watching the hawks. join me every thursday on the alex simon short and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back to the program it was a day of small victories for british prime minister on tuesday as m.p.'s voted on amendments to the parliament however it could all be short lived with the seemingly unwilling to take negotiations further piece of the report's. german chancellor of the chancellor's office an hour earlier on wednesday that angle of merkel and had

a phone call with the polish prime minister and which both sides had said that they would continue to work together to try and avoid a no deal breaks it but that's about it when it comes to support for theresa may the european parliament is currently in session in brussels i can tell you a lot of people very unhappy with what was voted through in the british parliament on tuesday evening this amendment that would allow to resume a to go back to brussels to seek an alternative to the so-called irish backstop we heard from michel barnier the chief negotiator on breaks that he said that britain really neat still needs to stop the blame game that's going on its own ranks and start thinking about its position in europe we heard from any piece like elmar brok from the center right body the center right grouping in the european parliament saying something hot to be done they can't believe in some cases that britain has said is trying to go in renegotiate this something that they've said time and time

again cannot be renegotiated the european commission president john claude young kid gave quite a long speech in which he spoke mostly in english and he said essentially now it does look like that no deal breaks it may be a policy on the subject of the irish backstop he sends out a warning of sorts to those in the united kingdom who would suggest that the european union would look to sideline island for the sake of getting a deal at any cost sometimes from time to time i have to push. some hope to twenty six other countries burns and vexed. at the last minute but this is not a game. is it disappeared by leftish it goes to the heart of what being a member of european union. bordeaux is you look sport and. by the way. went on to say that the backstop was necessary it was

a safety net that he hoped would never be used but a safety net has to work and in fact a lot more on the irish part of this story simon cove meet the irish deputy prime minister and the foreign minister came out as well a wednesday and said there are no alternatives to the backstop in attempts to try and sort this out on the british side just around half an hour to forty minutes ago jeremy corbin and some of his senior team the the opposition leader in the united kingdom was seen going into teresa mayes office the prime minister's office in the house of commons not number ten downing street for talks based on their exchanges early on wednesday it's unlikely that those talks are going to result in some silver bullet solution could you set out today what leads alternative arrangements might be passed night house. set a clear direction on the way that the house could agree a deal and that's what i and that is about dealing is the rise of the gentleman

says with the issue with a backstop as i said yesterday there are a number of proposals for how that could be done none of that was very clear to me are going to hurt anybody and i would have been our eyes mr speaker it would have been really nice of the prime minister to acknowledge that she did we're programmed please to try and support no deal and was defeated on that it's been absolutely clear with my contacts with the european union leaders is that they want a deal what this house voted for last night. historian commentator adel darwish says the need to kathy consider its next move. the negotiation. is one thing they're not taking in as a whole negotiated with european union is something else now the european union have to think twice here because. government does not have to follow reason make amnesty still go and see if we don't agree we're going to leave without it we leave you 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 over to kelly and through french food so giving the trouble the president micro going through now i don't think he would sort of accept actually going out with the idea and then you have the german car in bus to these the pressure on anglo merkel are you my feeling is had the eleventh hour probably and even the fifty ninth minute. opinion would actually clinch a deal. a russian senator has been arrested during a parliamentary close session in front of his peers over his alleged involvement in two murders from almost a decade ago where if an action shots like the details which could make the case far from straightforward. on wednesday morning it over the shock of came to his

working downtown most 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 caucasus 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 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 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 center's father was also detained in his office in st petersburg he is one of the 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 all 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. that's on you to now be back in around thirty minutes with all that make sure you stay tuned in the meantime for watching the hawks. they 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 of them or can't be good. interested always in the waters in the house. last question.

u.s. veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after 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 defenses office says we're going to attack and destroy the government and 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 for uneasiness for. attempting to force regime change in venezuela brought to you by the trumpet ministration washington's gross interference in the internal affairs of this latin american country is risky the needle in the possibility of large scale violence is very real one thing is certain
