portion of the european parliament takes for the overthrow of the troubled nation's socialist president. a large number of children there were born. with a government report on the probable cause. and want to know why she was born

like that because. we think that it may come from us that we did something wrong. controversy this time for. joining us from all across the globe a warm welcome to moscow and to our international my name's union o'neill. the european parliament is helping to turn up the heat. did leader. in the last number of hours the block full support to the crisis stricken countries opposition leader was. recognizing him head of state with the details here's peter

over. the european parliament house passed a resolution recognizing one goh i don't know as the legitimate interim president of the state of venezuela let's have a look at what's contained within that resolution it's gone through parliament in brussels on thursday well as well as recognizing him as the interim president they reject proposals or any attempts at violence to try and solve the issues ongoing in venezuela the e.u. parliament also supports the u.n. secretary general's call for an independent and full investigation into deaths during the crisis in venezuela we have a little listen to what the e.u. parliament had to say that the european parliament is the first european institution to do this nude asked member states to do the same as quickly as possible in order to ensure that we have a strong unified european position while we heard their parliament calling for member states to come out and also recognize. as the legitimate interim president

we heard from germany france the united kingdom who said earlier this week they were going to give my days in order to call new elections otherwise they would be supporting and backing do it over his past he said no chance the next elections in his country will be twenty twenty five when his current term is supposed to come to an end there are those international players though that still support nicolas maduro he's been president of venezuela since twenty thirteen china as well as russia have so far ruled out backing out all one guy joe and his attempts to be named as the legitimate president of venezuela when you sum up all the question now he is not a self-proclaimed president external forces declared him as the president offering different types of support including financial technical political and moral venezuela has problems which should be solved but there is no doubt that the

scenario aimed at preventing side. it's from dialogue comes from a brought. back to the european union response that we've also heard from federico market really on thursday the e.u. high representative for foreign affairs basically the e.u. foreign minister she said that she's going to be liaising with neighboring countries and key actors as they try to bring about an end to this ongoing and developing crisis in venezuela peter all very well on wednesday nicolas maduro made an impassioned address to the american public the fenice will a leader urging them to disregard what he characterized as their fake version of events in his country that the united states is trying to. promote he also implored them not to allow donald trump to start a devastating conflict in this country. i mean battle since they cannot free venezuela and having weapons of mass destruction to intervene against those who now make up lies on a daily basis and false news to justify an aggression against our country not allow

another war like vietnam in latin america if the government of the united states intends to intervene against those people have another view worse than you can imagine all the warning comes after washington announced its full support of self declared interim president and what the split is becoming deeper day by day. as the of looks at the competing narratives surrounding events in venezuela. venezuela is a country of two realities so stark so profound the differences in opinion in one reality president maduro is trying to put down a rebellion stop an upstart usurper why do he's trying to prevent mutiny in the army even as we hear calls on c.n.n. to supply rebels with weapons and he's afraid that trump has ordered him killed

no doubt but trump gave an order to kill me he told the colombian governments become be mafiosa kill me if something happens to me one day donald trump i'm a colombian president will be responsible there is also a parallel reality born in no small part thanks to the united states first chavez now maduro have long been a thorn in washington side in this reality why do is the real president he is america's candid it trump congratulated him on becoming president they discuss what to do with the former dictate them the duo they discuss business politics he has america's blessing and its protection i reiterate that the united states will hold venezuelan security forces responsible for the safety of all u.s. diplomatic personnel the national assembly and president going to any violence

against these groups would signify a grave assault on the rule of law it will be met with a significant response sure now with the guarantee of safety of invulnerability mistake why do wasted no time before beginning to issue orders so owners of israel are today i give you an order don't shoot the venezuelan people don't shoot those who in a clear and constitutional way have been defending your family your people your work. your way of life today soldiers of venezuela i give you an order don't repress peaceful demonstrations like before such familiar scenes we see this all over the world palestinians protesting in the occupied territories the yellow vests in france catalan separatists in spain protesters in the u.s. but when police bully beat and arrest in those countries that's fine and dandy but

they do it in venezuela at suppression of democracy an attack on the free world. is not the democratically elected president of the tramples democracy human rights and rule of law good for a new start with the new democratic situation in the country namely the nationalists in its president who are the guide dog that's why together with the e.u. we have offered all political support. for the us why do is the cake sweetened bleier bowl but wait as icing on top of those agreements that have not been recognized by the national assembly are illegal we will not recognize illegal agreements china has to understand that and russia has to understand that two realities two presidents two governments to venezuela's of course it's cattle to continue like this a house divided cattle stand then surely these two realities

will merge let's just hope it won't be through civil war. a lot in america expert kevin young says there is a real threat of civil war now in venezuela. this is certainly an attempted coup in progress the manoora government is is not in an enviable situation it's it's faces declining domestic support and rising discontent from all sectors of society but it's not by any means clear that people who are upset with a minority government would turn around and support a far right leader like one way though i think the threats of us and our military intervention are designed in large part to convince the venezuelan military to switch sides in turn against maduro but as for what they're going to do. you know it's anyone's guess at this point i think that regardless of what happens if if there was to be a military coup or. a large segment of the military siding with with the right wing

opposition there would still be very heavy resistance including perhaps armed resistance so there really is a real serious threat of civil war here and that's something that the tribe in ministration is actually perhaps trying to provoke. right so another headline stories now families in from seeking answers after a mysterious surge in children born with birth defects more than a thousand babies from french rural areas over the past twelve years have been born missing that means after on inconclusive probe some years ago the government's not you to release a second report on the probable causes artie's roughly news agency spoke to some of the families affected. i could tell by the gun ecologists look and i could see him looking and checking

the net but i could tell that something was wrong. i want to know where she was born like that because these mothers blame themselves and we think that it may come from us or that we did something wrong. we lost a survey this department has to say to collect all the data from hospitals maternity clinics and paid at check services and we continued signaling to the authorities who didn't want to listen to our calls. they promised to keep us informed which meant a lot to us because we hadn't been told anything about our case with about how children are three and seven but the inquiry started three years ago and we never heard back from them. we are surrounded by agriculture fields so we

naturally wonder about the use of pesticides why doesn't it happen to people who live in the city there must be an integral. agency regrets it's inaction and tried to find the answer you think it could explain the code causes behind the emergence of congenital malformation. i saw that there was an issue because i knew very well how the french administration herc's i know how to explain this it's hard not to panic the public i think there is this field discovering that that causes couldn't they nj a number of economic interests. i just wish we had some answers my daughter has never really asked me i have always told her that she was born this way and that it was nature and it can happen that

some children are born like that and now i'm thinking that if one day she asked me again i want to know how to answer. the thousands of facebook members some as young as thirteen have reportedly been paid by the social media platform for the data on their mobile phones but the app used to do the job has been banned by up after it was shown to have violated privacy policies they spiked out it's still available on a different operating platform and royd well facebook has been suggesting that its users install the facebook research up since twenty sixth and it's been paying them up to twenty dollars a pop per month for the privilege where members were asked to give the our poll most unfettered access to their personal information including private messages on social media it was also able to collect the data on web browsers and also information just where the people were when they were connecting the social media

giant denies accusations that it was spying on the teenagers online but it wasn't spineless all of the people who signed up to participate went through cleone boarding prudes is asking for the less than five percent of the people who chose to participate in this market research program routines all of them was signed parental consent forms. facebook even asked users to screenshot their orders page on amazon parental consent was also said to have been easily avoided in the entire process journalist derek pros say as a lot of people don't understand what access to such data actually means. i think most people probably would find it unethical because generally kids are not going to understand what they're signing up for most people don't know what they sign up for whenever they sign the terms of service and even if facebook is saying i'm to give you twenty bucks or whatever they're handing out i don't think most people really understand how their method data and their digital footprint tells

a lot about who they are as a person about where they go and just about their entire life and i'm not sure everybody really understands that when you sign up for facebook or any of these social media companies or any web site really when you click i agree without reading the terms of service and particularly with apps on smartphones most people don't understand what they're giving companies permission to do and especially when it relates to the children. well according to a recent poll the popularity of facebook amongst american teenagers has that place by twenty percent since twenty fifteen derrick rose again says the social networking behemoths has going to great lengths to retain its market share. it is obvious that facebook is losing support in favor among the younger generations the younger millennial is and generations e is some people call them where most of them are using things like instagram which facebook also owns and things like snapchat and other platforms facebook is kind of seen like the older thing for the fat the parents and the grandparents i think what facebook is trying to do is to buy up other platforms like they bought instagram

they bought what's up there the company that runs facebook mark zuckerberg and his team i don't think whether or not facebook the social network disappears i don't think they're going to go any where they're planning to invest and make sure that they have their hands on all the future social networks. residents of a prison suburb have been voicing their rights reach out to a local gym was turned into a shelter for homeless once more not something the shortest the pricks. you know world of big. and conspiracy it's time. 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 troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. the millennium goals 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 the big claim price is being held back from crossing over twenty five thirty thousand dollars for a coin is because of the rise of the sea as 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.

you're back with r t international now a long running route between greece and the u.k. is back in the headlines it's over the rightful owner of ancient artifacts known as the elegant marbles the director of london's british museum where they are on this play has infuriated athens by ruling out their long term return saying that taking the marbles from greece was a creative act artie's unless the see a church takes up the story. the british museum is back in the headlines this time its director has stirred up trouble by saying removing the world famous twenty five hundred year old parthenon marbles from greece to be taken to britain in the nineteenth century could be seen as a creative octet thanks to a new context you could of course be saddened by the fact that the original environment has disappeared when you move a cultural heritage to a museum you move it outside however the shifting is also a creative act technically u.k. law prevents the return of such pieces but the problem is greece considers the

classical marble sculptures stolen and wants them back seriously what was so creative in the destruction of the temple and the looting and the pillaging of a nation's keys to its ancient history greece's culture minister described the museum directors approach as narrow and cynical a mindset that downgrades cultural heritage to an exchange sale out but in fact it's not just greece that's pressuring the museum other artifacts perceived just snatched during the times of the british empire are being demanded back to so far to no avail the museum is only ready to loan saying the pieces are better off being displayed as part of a wider collection. you have to take it keeping him one hundred fifty years yes it was some months and we can have.

millions of people come to enjoy the british museum every year let's find out what some of them here make of this long standing feud and how local see it back in greece i think it's being here is probably for the greater good i just got a degree in art history so i feel like they should go back. the models should be retired and put back where they belong in every museum in the world until why why we're so generous i would keep them here if they were british arctic fox in greece i think it would be few differently if i was greek i would want to return i know i consider this i consider what else can do to be theft since i'm greek i'm also in favor of returning the elgin marbles i guess it's quite nice to have them kept a promise to go home for a period because the exhibition. i would like to print might be some kind of

sharing arrangement. but if i build a house and someone in america likes it he cannot take it with him and say i will take good care of it i will keep it in america come see it whenever you like. an op market district in the french capital has become the on likely focus of the country's immigration policy residents there are enraged after a gym used by schools in the year it was converted into a shelter for migrants over the winter dr drew pinsky brings us more. as france sure does through a cold snap authorities in paris have taken the decision to help shelter migrants out on the streets one hundred and fifty were bussed to this gym in one of the city's swankiest neighborhoods where they'll spend the winter months it's a far cry from life on the curb put delicious pale but the area known for its large unhoused migrant camps and drug problems has been described by some as the gates of

hell with temperatures plummeting this decision has been hailed by many as humane but others are furious the idea of helping people who are in the cold and of course i agree do it but we have many other places where we can do it so i don't see why we put all the migrants here there's a camp already on board for axelrod there is another near the woods they're everywhere they're even going to close the school to quick migrants there. we need to. people who were using the gym before and the kids who take. it seriously news that this facility was to be requisitioned by the city of paris came with hardly any warning nor any consultation and thousands have now signed a petition against that decision which has triggered protests outside the gym we

never say we're going migrant in here the issue is you've got all the kids which are using it every day and i was in the. work made aware of that on friday for a monday closure very big public schools but private schools are using it on a daily basis. kids. are kids which. are mistakes. sports associations and parents say that no alternative has been offered for the students and the athletes who. rely on the gym and the staff whose jobs are potentially at risk they currently appealing this decision but some have suggested that this isn't just about a sporting facility it's much more about a rich neighborhood unhappy with migrants moving in. to make the people who live here don't complain unlike those who live in the sixteenth district people

here don't protest and just accept that. what could be more important than taking care of the people who don't have a roof over their heads it is more important than children not being able to do sports for a few months they just don't want to see the misery i don't see why who put migrants in areas like. we shouldn't put them in this instance district person city council says this is all part of a plan for the departments in the region to make one thousand two hundred emergency rooms available what is clear though is that the migrant influx into this one portion part of paris isn't being met with wall open. r.t. paris just coming up to half past five this thursday evening here in moscow now in what's been a particularly difficult past twelve months for russia's athletes the country's anti-doping agency director general speaks to worlds apart stay tuned for that in

moments. to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going for him to let it be an arms race is often this very dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and. talk. same stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either there already is several

generations of them so i just got this memo from the circulating branches off that 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 or uneasiness or. join me every thursday on the alex salmond chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see if there. are.

hello and welcome to all the part of the russians have to clean up that act that has been the refrain from international sporting officials ever since the doping scandal him the russian olympic and paralympic team for three years on the russian anti doping agency has regained its compliance status within the water system and the question in you and those about the integrity of the countries be explored. still remain will they ever be settled won't discuss that i'm now joined by the newly appointed director general. mr gunness it's good to talk to you thank you very much for your time. now let me start with a for a few personal question because you are a professional manager you've held a number of executive positions but from what i've been able to gather big sports

north of your area of expertise do you see that as a shortcoming or as an advantage in this new position. totally agree with you. came to the. not from the area. professional director working as an independent director but i think first of all my experience more than earlier one went away ever built. we have to organize and lead independent national into the essence of my previous experience before there was i worked as independent director doing the ten years is there any difference in how you would approach running a state affiliated enterprise as opposed to these agency which serves crucial russian interests but is supposed to be fully independent from the state. yes to some a little bit strange because when we discuss

a company which is with government financing which from the government is some little bit especially in russia but now we're really independent because we approach and lead with professional experience here. we work because on the international walton's in the open court. a few weeks ago you got yourself into a bit of a argument with russian officials about the missing of a deadline when water was supposed to gain access to electronic databases all the doping probes even felt compelled to appeal to president putin directly why did you need to do that because the focus of all international sports and to come in is here focused on russia now you often. say

they own us isn't russia to prove that it's transparent that it's willing to cooperate with wada. do you think russia is doing enough in that regard we're going to put on the requirements of world is extremely important for russia because. realizing of all requirements the special requirements on the second stage of decision executive committee of what. important because from this depends. next stages and. it's not the question of compliance before. it's a question of the future generation of russian outlets not fuchsia because of the generation it's a question of the. what possible it will be how we will and wolf.
