i. i i i i. i. will. find his way the self-proclaimed interim leader refuses to rule out u.s. military intervention in the country president nicolas maduro. also to come french police are under scrutiny after over one hundred cases are open into the use of right wing talk to a yellow best protester who is on the receiving end. i understand that the

government. couldn't hear the demands of the appeal was being made on the streets and rights group amnesty international accuses tourist companies who this accommodation in the disputed west bank settlements of profiting from war. are the welcome for pm here in moscow you watching r.t. international of venezuela's self-proclaimed interim leader has appeared on american television explaining how he intends to oust president nicolas maduro and he did not rule out using u.s. military support. i just want you to tell me whether you would support a u.s. military intervention we are doing everything to be able to put as much pressure as published so that we do not get into that kind of a scenario in which nobody would wish to have well the u.s.

backed opposition leader bronze medal rose regime a dictatorship president to recuse is quite high with attempting to stage a coup you with washington's help in the situation intensifies what is happening in venezuela does have similarities to events in the past to is that he explains they really think the whole world is too fullish to notice either you stand with the forces of freedom or you're in league with his mayhem when we stand with the syrian people or with their oppressors the former dura regime has oppressed its people for years repressive regime of bashar al assad the tyranny of the now defunct mature regime the assad regime its brutality and repression active threat to the entire region growing threat to regional peace and security it is time for men to go it's time for assad to get out of the way the stories of syria venezuela and the protest movements there are from two separate books but can

someone tell me why anyone who's in charge of america always reads off the same manual when their national interest rate or spots another regime change opportunity let's go through the steps that are a must venezuela versus syria some great examples for you. people in american politics have a special sense for legitimacy what if they have a device for that or something from our perspective he has lost legitimacy he has failed to deliver on the promises he's made in its role as the only legitimate branch of government duly elected by the venezuelan people the national assembly invokes the country's constitution to declare nicolas maduro illegitimate and the office of the presidency therefore vacant you see the manual so great that even donald trump couldn't help picking it up after hillary. yes

the idea is not just to start backing the opposition you physically got to be there with them it was. the. now that's a classic what could be more classic it almost makes you imagine that as kids all american politicians are told when you grow up you'll never succeed unless you sanctions and filthy regime syria check venezuela. check will keep increasing sanctions to cut off the regime with the money it needs to survive we're going to announce sanctions against patro is to venezuela associate the name were paid a vase as it's known by its spanish acronym the state owned oil monopoly since the

opposition in places like venezuela or syria are pretty much aware of the contents of the manual they know when it's the right time for them to start asking for weapons armed rebels defected soldiers there will always be those who would be happy to get new guns that are going to spend its way down so much that we make a request to the us he says to support us in logistical terms with communication with weapons so we can realize venezuelan freedom well really we need. and want to . and until it's back to the states and the people in charge there were only one step away from sending your old army in to get the job done don't forget to say that all options are on the table that you're very much which is all options always all options are on the. you know what all of this was unintentional never planned we will have to topple over as you

add all three throughout governments we cannot resolve someone else's civil war through force is that also in the manual in a prank that will syria might not be the only because the u.s. is hinting at involvement in venezuela almost since it turned threats into action military action in libya critics do want to see that repaints of that scenario must be avoided. we must avoid the mistake. ok well in the studio with us now is worlds apart so oksana boy because he's closely following events to venezuela. we're hearing many people drawing parallels to past events particularly libya to you what are your thoughts on this because i know you've been looking at it closely

i think those two countries are very very similar in their way of developing their ring the bell at least to me because i did cover the libyan there prizing from the very beginning and i remember the bag that. one of the things that many people draw attention to was. easily extractable large reserves very easy to capitalize on baghdad if you remember the countries that pushed the most for that military intervention were the countries that benefited the most from the levy in all sectors was france and the united kingdom this time around to you see the trump of ministration officials being really all been about. oil reserves and eagerness to lay their hands on them so. there's more than just one parallel there but the one thing that absolutely amazes me is that there is absolutely nor lack of consideration for the consequences neither now nor back then and one would think that the obama administration people at least who consider only be as one of their

mistakes president obama was actually pretty honest in saying that. he's made mcgrath was never thinking about day one in libya while we are not hearing anything from the obama administration officials in fact they they seem to be very eager to join the trunk administration when it comes to regime change in yet another country where you have been speaking to the daughter of the security chief of the deposed libyan leader moammar gadhafi. she is a very interesting personality she was essentially raised by the gadhafi family. sure friends with many of his children and obviously she didn't benefit from the events in two thousand and eleven but i think it was broader than that she really pains for her country what happened to it now and one of the points to me there is that nobody benefited from it even those countries who wanted to come and extract more of the libyan oil back down and are present in the country right now because it is an absolute mass but rather than me talking about it let's listen to what she

has to see. this happen in. other country only maybe in syria or. before and then see the. egypt the egypt that's under control. syria now lets you see what's happening in syria but i think. the. bombing from. start to something. that they want to save some people civilian people and that's just not true. deborah or why don't. more market aphids close security officials you can watch this interview unfold this coming sunday on our program worlds apart another point as well is that the libyan intervention didn't and then they faced a problem there's a huge migration where you from libya is still a problem now in europe i've seen many black american countries. but isn't there

a possibility that they could suffer too because if things turn ugly venezuela will be the united way because well and i really like this question that you're posing because i think many people are absolutely ignoring it i mean more market after what he was alive was very open warning the european officials not to jump on this nato intervention bandwagon space specifically because of the risks of opening the floodgates to you from the african continent into europe and he's warning. it was absolutely ignore that many political scientists today agreed that the migration crisis represents the admirals and the most serious tasks the securing the unity of the european union institutions and i think many latin american and north american countries are absolutely i believe it is to the risks of migration that could represent if it falls apart we are talking about many millions of people. the

continent is pretty unstable already and you know one has to ask why is the trump administration which is so concerned about uncontrolled migration and the pressures it puts on the way just within the united states is absolutely ignorant of that aspect. right swat showboats apart on sunday relates focusing on the situation but his wife works on a thank you. folded ask members of congress the very thought that the u.s. is actually meddling in venezuela's political system. you think the u.s. is meddling in business. here. but it's i don't think so me were the super firm and that's what i think is we're just supporting pretty much decided. to be nice and so i think that's good since we are in the fashion.

you know i and every. other news france is bracing for a fresh yellow fest marches on saturday but with a difference because this time people won't just be calling for reforms that also pay tribute to those injured by excessive police force in previous rallies. but not the most was he about poor kids were deliberately chose a far too almost a route 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 the start of the march who also bit sit ins and speeches. the next day when i woke up from the operation i looked at 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. more than one hundred investigations have been i can do against french police over there controversial use of those riot guns in recent months leading rights

organizations in the country also want a complete ban on the use of the weapon which fires golf ball sized rubber bullets has already caused serious injuries and yellow vests protests. when our sister channel hearty france a spoken to protester jerome two or rodriguez who does who has suffered a horrific i enter a from police during a rally last week he says the government isn't listening to the people. 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 why you lost annoyed that they are completely blind even on the basis of the videotapes there are 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. profiting from war crimes that is what a new report by amnesty international says tourism companies are doing by listing accommodation in disputed west bank settlements the report has prompted one israeli

minister to to call for the human rights group to be banned from the country israel has been illegally building settlements on palestinian land for decades but it's also removed hundreds of thousands of palestinians. and israeli settlers who moved in these actions constitute war crimes the world's leading digital tourism companies promote settlements as tourist destination be booking dot com expedia and trip advisor list hotels b. and b.'s attractions and tours in settlements amnesty international criticized online booking companies for offering hundreds of places to stay in settlements across the west bank and for failing to to state that they are actually in disputed territories adam shapiro is the co-founder of the international solidarity movement and he says it wouldn't be the first time that israel's banned groups like amnesty . i think the reaction by over the years rose if they were to bear mysterious

rational researchers would be you know sort of foolish although not on expected we've seen previously when the human rights watch researcher who is on the ground almost killer published a report similar about there being the activities of the earthquake territories israel moved immediately to have them removed from the country. so far they have not been successful as the courts have intervened and there is a case going on but you know this is happened many times over the years when initial organization or or any kind of monitor of what's going on in the occupied territories reports what's happening israel moves to takes efforts to remove those people from being in the occupied territories and prevent others from coming to see israel and. thousands of people myself included from entering the occupied territories and prevented thousands of others for their training because they suspect that people are coming to witness to bear witness to the occupation. or one

of the companies listed a b. and b. has previously come under fire for the same issue and is the keys to failing to fulfill a promise to remove listings in disputed settlements back in one of the companies named in the report have responded by insisting that they do actually in fact state clearly that the accommodation is like eighty and that the information they provide is a political watching r.t. still to come this hour feed us roy is acting for a russian businessman implicated in the middle of have been denied access to evidence in the case we'll have a look at why that is the case just after the break. i've been saying the numbers. they matter us is over one trillion dollars in. more than two. white collar crime stamped each day. eighty five percent of global wealth

you longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business shows you can afford to miss the one and only. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the wall the politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

again now there has been another twist in the murder investigation in the us into alleged russian collusion the probe is refusing to share evidence with us lawyers have been implicated russian businessman adding that it is links parties you've done of has the story the prospect of proof coming from the murder investigation on any collusion may never see the light of day that's long been normalised by pundits but now the shroud of secrecy around the renowned russia probe is darkening further election meddling evidence could be out of reach even for the defense the united states of america respectfully opposes the motion of defendant concord management and consulting l l c for approval to disclose documents identified by the special council as sensitive for purposes of preparing for trial the defendant versus time

is a concordant management and consulting a firm managed by you've gainey proportion a russian multimillionaire nicknamed putin's chef for his catering commitments to the kremlin moto accuses him of being the chieftain of russian online trolls who allegedly played a role in swaying the twenty sixteen election in response his company hired a law firm in the u.s. as you would but apparently some of the private information the lawyers had previously received from miller emersion line for all to see it was published on twitter by the account hacking redstone which has then been suspended a representative of the online file sharing portal has confirmed to the f.b.i. that the specific account who used to publish the matching discovery materials was registered on october nineteenth two thousand and eighteen but a user with an ip address that resolves to russia but

a screenshot of the tweet allegedly. the law firm had been hacked so apparently the attorneys had nothing to do with it it's not like they would voluntarily leak classified information why well because of because the that's why and some outlets sent this unique bandwagon crashing down the hill this company went and hired a pittsburgh law firm and was and has managed to essentially draw this out and use especially the legal system of the united states i guess the mother investigation so in history's paraded over the myriad of court cases where defendants would hire lawyers to world defend themselves against the accusations the pleaded not guilty to this one somehow stands out and what standard procedure in every single other case is using the legal system in this one but miller is totally cool with it

now he has a perfectly good reason to deny the defense access to court materials which is any prosecutor's dream come true miller says he will only show the case dogs to progression himself but making someone who will never come to the us to face these supposed charges and arrest dream on that is a problem of concorde's own making so how the tide has turned now anyone salivating in anticipation of juicy collusion details might be better off waiting for russian hackers you can sit down with their legal analyst line or to say that prosecutors are normally eager to share evidence. there is a concept of disclosing information which tends to be exculpatory meaning information which tends to work to your defense or prosecutor must always provide information evidence. to let you know how to defend it

what you are being charged. and what you can do to interpose a defense the only time a prosecutor wants to hide information from you is that if the information doesn't help the prosecutor if there's something that hurts the prosecutor i was a prosecutor we'd love to show you evidence of what we have against you we want you to know everything that we have so that you think wow they've got me now so why is he doing this because either a he doesn't have any evidence b. there's something embarrassing me doesn't want you to see or see all of the above. posts of the us are currently in the grip of a deadly cold snap some do you feel it's not just the record low temperatures that are leaving people vulnerable for one of the coldest air in a generation is poor across the upper midwest breaking low temperatures will make the next few days the coldest the region has seen the sake of chicago almost

completely frozen over nearly ninety million americans are now in the grip of dangerous cold or what happened if russia killed the power in fargo today what would happen if all of the natural gas lines just poof on the coal to stay in recent memory and it wasn't in our power whether or not to turn them back on i mean what would you do if you lost heat. fear of a possible hijacking of gas pipeline systems is based on the recent us intelligence committee report it does say that china and russia pose a threat to american national security through cyber activity targeting key infrastructure. china has the ability to launch cyber attacks that cause localized disruptive effect some critical infrastructure such as disruption of natural gas pipelines for days to weeks in the united states russia has the ability to execute cyber attacks in the united states the generate localized temporary disruptive effect some critical infrastructure such as disruption and electrical distribution

network for at least a few hours there is no indication that russia has any ability to shut down any natural gas pipeline in fact the only thing that they did about russia is that they would have the ability to affect some power grid for a couple of hours well so do the people who are using too much electricity during. a bit like what we're seeing right now the number of people using natural gas in the dakotas right now and in that minneapolis area they are a greater threat to collapsing the grid there and the russians and the chinese what us media have gone further to quoting officials saying that russia has already compromised america's electrical grid hacking its way via so-called back to or secret channels to enter the system this one again does know that terrorists should be this is the main concern in this situation wouldn't individual terror actors or individual hatters also be an equal or greater threat to the nation states who are doing it why can't just the everyday hackers be able

to get into these same systems so why isn't he talking about that and talking about not that russia is the threat but the system that we have built that allows anyone to access these very important infrastructures isn't that the threat. you're watching audience national that's high things in the king say faucet i hear and i say we're back again in thirty five. washington's forced regime change strategy targeting venezuela continues unabated everything is going to plan first sanction the country in ways they punish the poor second back a so-called interim president can cut off his third deny the legitimate government of its export revenues because the use of force next.

week mean i mean i didn't know where your your son. was you are going to. those whom you know most of the boats will be into yours and yours it was notable to be a very good month but it would you. please not believe the ways though i did my best religion as though i. feel more. needs than yes this is you know. this is one of those. views will get. you know it's not there yet. the country has gone into a nihilistic fever that's why i think and they got it hit the road and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america take them to charlatans the genius of this the quintessential american hero this is it we've come to

a point on which alan what is going inside we always are on the margins something. called the culture listening party going out of the box. we're starting last with is. we're going to headed east into the swamp we go into the belly of the beast i think i want to leave now doesn't get any more gonzo than that he may be completely different in the. united states has always had a. use. tax on other country's. economic sanctions are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is play some military press around the country talking about. and there still be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that

country. we have a responsibility for the hate. and so we need to make rules for the rest. because without us there will be. greetings and salutation. when you spectacularly fail at something over and over and over again the hawk watchers maybe it's time to try some new tactics

this is true in everything from basketball to cooking and yes even the drug war which is exactly what the great country of mexico must be learning after new president underestimate while lopez obrador officially declared a. wednesday this week that the drug war is over yes i'm not kidding mexico is officially announced it's ending its war on drugs i swear to you i'm not making this up over a bar took to his daily press briefing to announce that quote there is officially no more war we want peace and we are going to achieve peace we want to observe that no cape he went on to observe that no cape as a been arrested because that is not our main purpose the main purpose of the government is to guarantee public safety what we want is security to reduce the daily number of homicides and that is quite a daily number that number of homicides i my friends is staggering in two thousand eight hundred lone.
