in the eyes of that country and the leader of that country because. we have a responsibility for the whole. and we need to make rules for the rest. because without us there will be change. i. i i. i.

think you can. but as well as opposition leader. of the european parliament for the overthrow of the troubled nation the president used foreign policy chief also says that. germany france and the u.k. establish a mechanism to avoid u.s. sanctions on trading with iran using a new trade channel. over the last decade a large number of children born without limbs the government. causes. i want to know where she was born like that because. we think that it may come from us that we did something wrong. and facebook finds itself. this

time for paying users including teenagers for almost an unfettered access to the data on their phones. here in the russian capital. watching our teams national of bengal who can serve you well you're very welcome with us on the program this hour. and the european union has helped to turn the heat up on the venezuelan president nicolas maduro following the lead of washington with brussels now lending its full support to the opposition leader one door use foreign policy chief has outlined possible measures that could be taken against the government's it's all over has this report federica mockery any the e.u. high representative for foreign affairs has announced that the european union is setting up what they call an international contact group on venezuela this isn't

going to be any kind of official mediation in the crisis there but it is essentially going to be a talking shop including the states as well as latin american partners who are going to come together to try and continue the dialogue and make sure that venezuela can sort out the problems it faces through the mechanisms of the venezuelan constitution however at the same time as federica market he was announcing also you said that we could expect further sanctions for me you member states on venezuela those sanctions of course they would target the government sanctions targeted sanctions in place related with the new unanimously recently and should there are elements of sanctions might be considered by the ministers in the coming days if we would not see positive developments any sanction that's not. that's not. implemented by the security council is illegal

so all the sanctions that the u.s. simplemente against the business will and people are illegal according to international law the european parliament also passed a resolution on venezuela on thursday in it they recognize one guy doe as the legitimate interim president of venezuela they also reject any violent means to try and solve the impasse and they support fully a proposal put forward by the un secretary general for a full and independent investigation into deaths in venezuela we can hear what the european parliament say right now but i mean 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. the united kingdom germany and france had given nicolas maduro until monday to say he was going to organize fresh elections otherwise they would throw their support behind one door well it does seem almost

certain that that's going to happen now particularly when we hear from nicolas maduro that he has no intention of stepping aside no intention of calling elections in fact he says the next elections in his country they'll be in twenty twenty five when his current term is set to come to an end there is some international support for nicolas maduro though the african union china turkey and russia have all said that they're against this international push for. the summit of the glass for 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 sighs from dialogue comes from abroad. already gosh italy doesn't recognize guido because we are totally against the fact that one state or a group of states can determine the internal policy of another state it is called

the principle of noninterference and it is recognized by the united nations as the situation continues in venezuela the more pressure that is put on nicolas maduro the more he says he's going up salut li no where the reports suggest that european partners are venezuelan state owned oil giant stopping purchases because of the threat of new sanctions we discussed the potential fallout with daniel mcadams from the ron paul institute and robert naiman. just foreign policy. unfortunately e.u. shows that it's incapable of taking an independent foreign policy they've made a bunch of noises about continuing to do business with iran despite the fact that the us unilaterally illegally pulled out of the p five plus one deal and once again they are lining up behind washington's foreign policy maybe they've been promised some of the spoils john bolton the other day said openly and explicitly u.s.

companies should go into venezuela and take the oil maybe they'll give a few table scraps to the europeans as well you know it. doesn't seem to care. the point. of the net we see. shortages we've seen for the last four years. or. so unfortunately. so far. all see the mirror. the us. on thursday evening venezuela self-aware interim president said on twitter that security forces were at his home one of what all added that he holds nicolas maduro responsible for his family's well being authorities have issued a statement quoting the claim totally false with tensions growing between the

government and the opposition but it does if looks at the competing narrative surrounding events in the country. venezuela is a country of two realities so stock 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 and 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 the colombian mafia to 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 form of dictate them would do though 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 and 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 soldiers of venezuela today i give you an order don't shoot the venezuelan people don't shoot

those who are 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 us 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 for new start is linked with the new democratic rude treatment institution in the country namely the nationalist sounding in its president who

want to go idle 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 is icing on top 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 will be through civil war. the divisions in venezuela have been on full display this thursday protests have been continuing both in support of and in opposition to president nicolas maduro the position of the modern new elections at a transfer of power a pro-government demonstrators say they want to see the constitution up held

political analyst use of ferrum told us that the pressure from the international community is also adding to the volatility. it's very important to get the support of russia china turkey and many other countries as well from with so. his people understand that there is international support that they're not that these countries are not going to let the democratically elected president be removed by undemocratic means or a coup when you look at what's going on in venezuela worley one or two small events from it turning into a syria now i hear mention vietnam but i think it's a lot closer to what happened in syria you look at the opposition defected soldiers from the c.n.n. report requesting arms from trump well i mean that sounds very similar to what happens in two thousand and eleven when obama started army people. across germany and the u.k. of prepping new ways to avoid u.s. sanctions on trading with the rod as they've announced the launch of

a new transaction shall. we want to love european enterprises to have legal trade with iran but security with health care and food sectors of essential necessity for the iranian people this is a clear practical demonstration that we remain firmly committed to the historic twenty fifty nuclear deal struck with iran to join comprehensive plan of action for as long as iran keeps implementing it fully. we believe that's keeping iran within this agreement and that's militarily discouraging uranium enrichment is a contribution to security for us and europe but we also believe that it enables us to talk to iran about difficult issues and we will continue to do so this is positive step to transfer money in the united kingdom as an initial. stablished that i welcome very much and that i believe will be essential for the full implementation of continued full implementation of the nuclear deal with iran. the

new payment system called the instrument in support of trade exchanges or instead is going to be a non dollar mechanism it will be based in paris and managed by the former director for germany's commerce bank while the u.k. will head up an advisory board as of now inspects is expected to focus mainly on food and medical exports to iran but it could expand in the future last year europe opposed america's decision to withdraw from the twenty fifteen deal with iran it wouldn't imply that sanctions would be lifted in exchange for terror on limiting its nuclear program but independent journalist believes few e.u. firms will dare to go against washington's pressure it will be a trickle of companies daring do that it's much easier for chinese companies or for russian companies to to close deals to to make deals with iran the europeans are us . in an incredible way the company if you talk to them they are afraid by ricochet

off of being in the eye off the storm with the americans trying to make an example because that's what washington is going to do for example they will certainly pick up a few examples and be harsh on them and mention it in press releases and in public campaign so that's very dangerous for european companies i don't know if anybody will dare go with the sticks. of families in france a signal 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 limbs after an inconclusive probe some years back the government is now due to release a second report on the probable causes our use of what we newsagents you spoke to some of those families affected.

i could tell by the gun ecologists look 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 his mother's brain themselves we think that it may come from us or that we did something wrong but. we are asked to survey this department that is to say to collect all the data from hospitals maternity clinics and paid at chick 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 a 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 culture. agency regrets its inaction and tried to find the answer you think it could explain the causes behind the emergence of congenital malformation did. i thought 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 fear of discovering that that causes couldn't danger a number of economic interests. messages 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 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 her. french police are under the microscope over their frequent use of wrought guns against yellow vests protesters will have more of that story just after this short break.

i think one of the main reasons why now we're working on a scam plan a national basis because. it's a little different organization after the previous issue or some other we sure will pull fifteen. to all previous q so. it's one of the best national wanted of him in the. welcome back to our teams fashion of the french authorities are facing a major legal challenge over the controversial use of riot guns by police officers in recent months since the yellow vest protest campaign began in november over one

hundred investigations have been opened into the use of the weapon the case was brought before the country's legal advisory body by a leading rights organization and france's second biggest union i want a blanket ban on the use of the weapon which fires golf ball sized rubber bullets and has caused serious injuries among demonstrators. protest leaders have called the march this. coming weekend in support of those who've been wounded by police. were deliberately chose the five two on the to root which is not much compared to what we did before but we're going to have some injured people all the injured will be there at the start of the march who will also be citizens and speeches. there the next day when i woke up from the operation i looked to myself in the mirror and said to myself it's not me it can't be me today i didn't dare look at myself in the mirror for me my life is over it's destroyed. our sister channel r.t. france has spoken to one of those injured protesters who claims the government

isn't listening to its people. but i understand now that the government is deaf to us that it couldn't hear the demands of the appeals being made on the streets but now i see i who lost an eye they are completely blind even on the basis of the videotapes they were unable to accept responsibility for what is happening our efforts are peaceful that's my slogan i'm a humanist i want protesters to be protected and the greatest gift to me was when during act nine children came to kiss me to shake my hand they were happy to come to the protest with their parents so why call for an icky why call for everything to be broken it is not in our interest we are reasonable people we will not destroy our own country. thousands of facebook members some thirteen have reportedly been paid by the social media platform for the data on their mobile phones but the up use through the job has been banned by apple after

it was shown to violated privacy policies despite that it's still available under different androids on a different platform that's android and facebook has been suggesting since twenty sixteen for users to install the facebook research and it's been paying them up to twenty u.s. dollars a month to do so the members were asked to give the app almost unfettered access to their personal information including private messages on social media that was also able to collect e-mails data on web browsers and even information about the location of users here social media giant denies accusations that it was spying on a teenager's online habits. it wasn't spine is all of the people who have signed up to participate went through cleone boarding process is asking for that the mission less than five percent of the people who chose to participate in this market research brogue routines all of them with signed parental consent forms a facebook even last few years to screenshot their amazon orders page parental

consent was also said to have been easily avoided in the entire process journalist derrick rose says 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 metadata and their digital footprint tells a lot about who they are as a person about where they go 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. according to a recent poll the popularity of facebook among american teenagers has been hit by

a twenty percentage point decrease since twenty fifteen there it rose again says the social networking badmouth is going to great lengths to over time 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 fact 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 anywhere they're planning to invest and make sure that they have their hands on all the future social networks. advocates of press freedom are sounding the alarm in the u.k. over proposed legislation which they say could in danger journalists the bill in

question if passed would allow british authorities greater access to journalist data including private e-mails on international servers reporters without borders and several other groups have signed an open letter saying that serious crimes can be investigated without eroding privacy rights critics have also raised concerns over plans to exchange data held in the u.k. with foreign governments the general secretary of the british union of journalists has said the bill shows contempt for press freedom this conservative government has repeatedly demonstrated its contempt for journalism and disregard for press freedoms i don't need to using new laws and powers that undermine and compromise billeted of journalists to carry out their work with integrity and safety i mean while the u.k. home office has said it's taking the concerns of journalists into account but stressed the importance of helping the authorities. this legislation where an international data access agreement is in place would give police and prosecutors

quicker and easier access to vital electronic data held outside the u.k. we have listened to concerns and made sure that journalists will be informed in advance of an application being made to the court beirut based journalist martin j. told us he's concerned by the implications of the bill it seems like you could lose this one even late in the caucus on the road for the portal statement in britain this despicable government doesn't seem to hold two lots of god john of those and you know investigative journalist people who are holding the state to account looking at corruption and crime on a very high level who rely on the deep throat's people who operates in the very on high excellence of society to give most of the confidence they're going to be really worried about this resource as the one was for themselves because any judge could seek information around the world from servers and find people's contacts and you know who is to say that these contacts could not be mentioned in

a court of law with a completely different case. of defamation more called absolute privilege journalists will be allowed to pick those names openly. that's it for the team of myself for this hour join us again in about hall for an hour's time and there's this global news updates. on she's gone into a nihilistic fever that's why i think and hit the road and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america the charlatans the genius the quintessential american hero this is it we've come a point from which allan what is done so we always are on the margins something this whole song culture is really boring. jobs.
