and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country because. we have a responsibility for the whole. and we need to make rules for us. because without us there would be chaos. days before withdrawing from iraq and market arms control agreement the u.s. announces it will be again manufacturing a new type of thermo nuclear warhead. venezuela's opposition leader calls for nationwide protests against the government of nicolas maduro and urges the army to help him force the embattled president from power. but it. is my contacts with the

european union leaders is that they want to deal with this house voted for last night. and it is back to the negotiating table for britain's prime minister as parliament supports a bid to rework her stalled brigs a deal. broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our to international i'm john thomas glad to have you with us the united states is set to withdraw from the landmark i.n.f. treaty before the end of this week the agreement which was signed by the leaders of the us and the soviet union in one thousand nine hundred seven band of the manufacture of an entire category of nuclear arms both washington and its nato allies has said that moscow is squarely to blame for the collapse of the deal. russia. ploy to. intermediate range of for some years now all laws. agree. it is important.

russia come backs into compliance in a transparent but a five way if russia doesn't come back into compliance then we have to be prepared for a world without the on the street in. with more russian oil lifting the treaty moscow for its part denies violating the pact earlier on wednesday the russian foreign minister accused the u.s. of increasing the risk of nuclear conflict by developing a new type of thermo nuclear warhead. 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. 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 start through. major countries and. a lot of. their research work. cannot be. treated so does not want dominated country and world because you could be. 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 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 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 will power as it each other's throats and no light at the end of the tunnel countries will continue to make threats against other countries just look at what's happening no. different treaty to go she the rule of major treaty to go she should know between china and the united states and the exercise some time to stress will do will put tariffs on and so on and the same thing happens too little too early and from a national security. countries like two. hundred. troops who could serve their country if they didn't agree with what you're doing. a new wave of anti-government protests are currently being held across at venice weyler in

response to calls from the opposition leader one journalist nor us i got reports now from caracas. we're currently in elsevier square one of their most employee magic venues for a position protesters. place is a very crowded after one way to go cold for a new round of protest after he isa investigated by the. government supreme court and the public prosecutor due to activities against the government earlier and we so president nicolas maduro of the city and the troops the armed forces trying to gain their support i mean. i already it is the first time this has happened it indicates just how desperate the white house is they can't go with venezuela it's a delicate matter what am i doing i'm fulfilling my duties as supreme commander

under the constitution and so has done one way or who has been speaking to the armed forces trying both of them to win. the board of the armed forces and one of the most important estimates of the venice well in politics the soldiers of venezuela i'm talking to you this is the moment to be on the side of the constitution it's not a time for fear or time to step back it's not the time to disrespect the venezuelan people. meanwhile the u.s. government has recognized as the interim president of venezuela and actually congratulated him also one way to employ at the us has said that the opposition will not engage into any kind all the dialogue with the venezuelan government. u.s. government officials are speaking out on the protests in venezuela president trump expressed his approval of the rallies while secretary of state pompei i was calling on the venezuelan military to support opposition leader. nicolas maduro has meanwhile warned of the consequences if the u.s.

intervenes. speaking in caracas material called on people not to trust washington's version of events in venezuela and warned the u.s. of a second vietnam war. since they cannot fake venezuela and would do a row having weapons of mass destruction to intervene against us they now make up lies on a daily basis and false news to justify aggression against our country but if we thought let's not allow another war like vietnam in latin america if the government of the united states intends to intervene against us they will have another vietnam worse than you can imagine the venezuelan president has also accused donald trump of ordering his assassination remarking that if something happens to him washington and the colombian government are the ones to blame are too easily joined you know neal 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 wood door 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. i mean. when it comes to mr gore i 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 not 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 advisor 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 in this a divide really if we look at the opposition support surely america has been the champion we've got to think the. you hear in this case because some of the strongest players of the blog for now the u.k.

still in there germany france and spain they have sent an alternate and for mr moore they promise that they will recognize one 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 magazine built he says that he once more helped by the way that interview was titled built meets the hope of venezuela. we thank germany and europe for supporting the activists who had to flee we hope the e.u. is serious about the whole tomatoes against me and reached 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 doesn't mean it's any initiatives 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 it's 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 then 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 commentator john white told us that the u.s. is aiming to regain influence in venezuela which at last under the current government of us that's a violation of their legitimate governments normal trade relations with other sovereign governments it's not just about washington want to his country back venezuela being returned to his rightful place in out of the neo cons in washington as a wholly owned subsidiary this is about pushing back against russia's influence in the region the americans are clearly what it about how that influence is going to tell across the way the region with other countries start to see russia as more of a safe bet in terms of got into enough sovereignty going to get in thousand stability and being a safe peter hands because it has to international look it's a despicable announcement because these are contracts that need to be upheld the

need to be respected they were sent by the countries legitimate government and for this opposition these are these coup plotters to say that they will rescind those contracts or if the managed to succeed in that objective book or through when we do look there now is that the spectacle that just speech to whom elaine distain amik is and what this is all about british labor party m.p. chris williams and told r.t. is going underground that he fears a us military intervention in venezuela 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 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 not saying you know clearly there must be problems right now but 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 forked tongue in my opinion those who are claiming to you know be concerned about the plight of poor venezuelans because what they are doing. they all they are taking supporting a path that will impoverish and potentially cost the law itself hundreds of thousands if not millions of venezuela's. former head of starbucks has announced he is considering running for the u.s. presidency next year howard schultz took a swipe at president trump in doing so who was quick to fire back 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 all right mr shields announcement was slammed by the democrats as well who fear the independent candidate could split their voters. i want to see america when i don't care if you're democrat independent libertarian republican bring me your ideas his critics have now called for a boycott of starbucks and are urging people to get their coffee elsewhere we asked people in new york what they thought about howard schultz his 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 a 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 way and with a minority of the vote if you ran as an 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 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 i think that seems a rather pointless idea. legal analyst jennifer braden told us why she believes many democrats are so angry. and. 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 that he's mentioned wanting to run as an independent. right the future of trees a maze break the deal is uncertain within the e.u. unwilling to renegotiate as it demanded by the british parliament details after a short break stay with us.

i think one of the main reasons why now we're working as a compliant nationalist is this because today is the different organization. or the previous two or so i was sure. or fifteen.

or all previous q so. it's one of the best national lots of them in the world. welcome back this is our chance nationals so it was a day of small victories for british prime minister theresa may on tuesday as m.p.'s voted on amendments to the braggs that deal in parliament however it could all be short lived with the e.u. seemingly unwilling to take negotiations further peter oliver has. plenty of reaction from europe to that votes in the house of commons on tuesday night. i'll start with those messages that were all message that was supportive may the reason i say message is there is only one the german chancellor's office here in berlin putting out a statement saying that angela merkel held

a phone call with the polish prime minister in which both said they were committed to trying to find a deal to avoid that dreaded no deal break that however in the european parliament we heard from michel barnier a the e.u. chief negotiator on break he said well the blame game that is going on inside british politics needs to stop and focus really needs to be found on finding a solution to to the break that problems to the break that impasse we also heard from any piece like brockie said that that in-fighting has to stop. as well adding the same message junk or younger the european commission president said that there would be no renegotiations of the withdrawal agreement he said that it's they were committed to supporting island and that was also backed up by other e.u. leaders as well sometimes from time to time i have to question to. some hope to twenty six other countries burns and vexed. at the last minute but this

is not a game. is it disappeared but let's finish it goes to the heart of what being a member of julian union meets bordeaux is you look sport and in our union square i want my message to me the you position is clear and consistent that we draw agreement is not open for renegotiation yesterday we found out what the u.k. doesn't want but we still don't know what the key does warm. me the irish deputy prime minister the irish foreign minister has also been speaking on wednesday saying that there's no alternative to the backstop as it's written in the withdrawal agreement right now we also. there would be no reopening of negotiations so jeremy corbin and his team have been meeting with a reason make and her team this meeting took place on wednesday in the prime minister's office in the houses of parliament not at number ten downing street nor

visit to the the official residence for jeremy call but in his opposition they were supposed to be trying to have talks about how they could take the country forward together but before they went into those talks this is how they were talking to one another in parliament could you set out today what police alternative arrangements might be nasty night the house set a clear direction on the way that 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 i'm going to write anybody 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 i mean absolutely clear is my contacts with the european union leaders is that they want to deal with this house voted for last night no sign of

a break in the impasse as of yet but one piece of news coming through to a song wednesday evening from the european side is that even if it goes to the no deal breaks it the thirty nine billion pound breaks that divorce bill as it's being called will still be owed that won't be written off at all so even if there is a no deal breaks it there's still going to have to be money paid to brussels. emeritus professor of international history at the london school of economics alan scared told us he doesn't believe the bloc will be willing to return to the negotiating table does look as if he's running into a brick wall everybody's moral authority when you start with a know when to open up their withdrawal agree with a lot going to renegotiate. and particularly at the center of this particular. the . problem absolutely adamant no one haves a proper alternative plan to the government except leaving it out it is boss like to try to stand up to fifty but that failed the house of commons my succeed

the second time it's. the twenty seven member states and the european parliament would have to agree to that and they said they wouldn't extend to fifty just for the sake of biggest stations they would have to see a proper plan. with divisions growing over bragg's it and euro skeptic parties are gaining momentum across the european union some pro e.u. politicians have been renewing calls for unity not everyone is sold on that though . be free to choose multiple identities be proud of all of them i'm from getting i'm flat i live in belgium i'm european that is no contradiction at all there is no there there.

i am a european but no e.u. or. stop claiming the e.u. has the right of being european people european but may still be against you. it is clear that people that identify themselves as council i'm not respected a person proud to be european must speak up so this enormous injustice in catalonia i want independence for my country of catalonia in prison because of my views. i'm a translator a woman an amateur photographer a ph d. candidate. i refused to be labeled by nationality is can i do banking with multiple identities. you're watching international.

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 you neagle in the possibility of large scale violence is very real one thing is certain the people of venezuela will suffer the most.

the millennial zx i think are trying to restore the rights of individuals rights of humans in the face of this dystopian nightmare and that's probably why they claim prices being held back from crossing over twenty five thirty thousand dollars per coin is because of the rise of say if she is successful and humans have a agency that's a net negative for big coin in the short term but will say because there's a lot of people that don't want her seizing power in any meaningful way.
