thanks so. much. was. that. i. had on our t.v. u.s. secretary of state suspends a key control treaty with russia cites noncompliance from moscow a kind of the kremlin denies. proclaimed interim leader refuses to prove that u.s. military intervention in his country tries to ask president nicholas. under
10:01 am
scrutiny over one hundred cases or and use a bribe we told we had a best protester who expects to lose his eye in the alleged attack. i understand that the government his death. he couldn't hear the demands of the appeals being made on the streets. for the welcome just six pm here in moscow you're watching international start breaking because the u.s. secretary of state russia of noncompliance with the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty. threatened to pull out of the deal this summer if moscow doesn't change its behavior the united states will therefore suspend its obligations under the treaty effective february second. we will provide russia and the other treaty parties with formal notice that the united states is withdrawing from me earlier
10:02 am
treaty effective in six months pursuant to article fifteen of the tree the russian notice that it has not violated the treaty and invited american experts to verify moscow's compliance according to the kremlin spokes person the us had been preparing to control from the treaty for a long time and did not attempt to hold talks on the issue russia's added that washington's move threatens the entire global arms control system. or if we could after the us leaves the i.n.f. treaty the whole system of arms control and the stability of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty will be under threat the i.n.f. treaty was signed back in one nine hundred eighty seven by the united states and also the u.s.s.r. it came into force a year later it says that both countries destroyed missiles within the five hundred to five and a half thousand kilometer range and under the agreement the countries aren't allowed to produce or test any such missiles in the future europe repeatedly called
10:03 am
on both parties to comply saying it's benefited a lot from the green that. the european countries and european union as such are not members are not parties to the a enough but europe has been probably the one that has ventured the most out of the this treaty for hours as the european union would would be extremely important to see is full compliance with the treaty and so the preservation of the treaty. in other news tonight venezuela the self-proclaimed interim leader one quiet has appeared on u.s. television explaining how he intends to as the president nicolas maduro and he did not rule out using pentagon 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 have as much pressure as published so that we do not get into that kind of
10:04 am
a scenario in which nobody would wish to have well u.s. backed opposition leader brands bhutto's regime a dictatorship president during the keys is quiet attempting to stage a coup with washington's help is the situation intensifies that what's happening in venezuela does appear to have similarities to events in the past is. explains they grieve you 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 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 meant to go it's time for assad to get out of the way the stories of syria venezuela
10:05 am
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
10:06 am
the idea is not just to start backing the opposition you physically got to be there with them oh my god. oh my god. 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 sanction some 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 we're paid a vase as it's known by its spanish acronym the state owned oil monopoly since the
10:07 am
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 arming the 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 of that we make a request to the us he says to support us in logistical terms of communication with weapons so we can realize venezuelan freedom what we need is. and. until the science back to the states and the people in charge there when you're only one step away from sending your old army in to get the job done don't forget to say that. the table that you're doing which is all options always shows for the. you know what all of this was
10:08 am
unintentional never planned we were strapped to the top bar as you advocate their own government strokes we cannot resolve someone else's civil war through force is that also in the manual in a prank of their will syria might not be the only example because the u.s. is hinting at involvement in venezuela almost eight years since it turned threats into action military action in libya critics to warn that a repeat of that scenario must be avoided. particularly today all main aim is the boy do you lose more than. we must avoid the mistake agree via. the host of artie's worlds apart oksana boyko to join me earlier to discuss the parallels between the libyan conflict and the current situation in venezuela. 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
10:09 am
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 trumpet ministration officials being pretty often about. all reserves and their 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 it nor lack of consideration for the consequences neither now nor back then and one would think that the obama administration people in these two consider leave as one of their mistakes president obama was actually pretty honest in saying that. he's mean regrets 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 trump administration when it comes to regime change in a given of it speaking of the daughter of the security chief for the deposed to be leading with what she says she's
10:10 am
a very interesting personality she was essentially raised by the gadhafi family. who are friends with many of his children and obviously she didn't have benefited from the events in two thousand and eleven and let's listen to what she has to say that's happened in. other country only maybe in syria or. wasn't an easier before. the control. see the you see what's happening in syria but i think. to start to being. that they want to save some people civilian people that's not true. the libyan intervention didn't and then they faced a problem there's a huge migration way from libya is still a problem now in europe i've seen many black american countries. but isn't there
10:11 am
a possibility that they could suffer too because if things turn out to be venezuela and it is why it's well and i really like this question that you're posing because i think many people are absolutely ignoring it i mean warmer gadhafi what he was alive was very open and 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 was absolutely ignore that and i think many of the latin american and north american countries are absolutely oblivious to the risks of migration that could represent if it falls apart we are talking about the meaning millions of people on the continent is pretty unstable already. talking to me earlier will journalists months or even folded ask members of congress if they think the u.s. is meddling in venezuela's political system. think the u.s.
10:12 am
is meddling in business. here. but it's i don't think so we were the super for and that's what i think is we're just supporting it's pretty much the deciding. to be nice and so i think that's good since we are in this and. you know. france is bracing itself for fresh yellow vests she's on saturday but with a difference this time because people won't just be calling for reforms that also pay tribute to those injured by excessive police force at previous rallies. but not the most was he about what you were deliberately chose the five two on the to route which is not much compared to what we did before but we're going to have some injured people all the injured all but they're the start of the march who also sit ins and speeches. the next day when i woke up from the operation i looked to myself
10:13 am
in the mirror and said to myself it's not me it can't be me today i did not dare look at myself in the mirror for me my life is over it's destroyed. more than a hundred investigations have been opened against french police over their controversial use of those riot guns in recent months leading rights organizations in the country want a complete ban on the use of the weapon which fires golf ball sized rubber bullets is also already caused serious injuries in yellow vests protests.
10:14 am
while our sister channel r.t. france did speak to protesters jerome rodriguez he suffered a severe eye injury to reportedly from a police rubber bullet during a rally last week he says that the government isn't listening to the paper. 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 lost an eye that they are completely blind even on the basis of the videotapes they 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 protests with their parents so why call for an a k y cool for everything to
10:15 am
be broken it is not in our interests we are reasonable people we will not destroy our own country. still to come for you facebook and twitter has banned thousands of venezuela and a consummate u.s. threats against the country we'll tell you why just after the break. most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest race in truth to stand losing business you just need as the right questions and demand the right answers. question.
10:16 am
seemed wrong but. just don't call. me. yet to shape out this day become educated and engagement because of the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. i. know again now let's set return to our top story this hour because the u.s. secretary of state has accused russia of noncompliance with the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty mike pompei i threatened to pull out of the deal this summer if moscow doesn't change its behavior. the united states will therefore suspend its
10:17 am
obligations under the n f treaty effective february second we will provide russia and the other treaty parties with formal notice that the united states is withdrawing from the un extremely effective in six months pursuant to article fifteen of the tree. ok let's get more information afghan cohen our correspondent in the states dan good evening just fill us in then on a bit more detail and exactly what was said today. well the united states has long accusers russia violate violating the intermediate nuclear forces treaty without actually providing any credible evidence whatsoever now the u.s. accuses russia of testing in deploying an intermediate range missile meanwhile russia has actually put the missile on displays exhibited the missile and even explained its characteristics in detail now russia moscow has actually strongly
10:18 am
denied washington's accusations saying that this land based missile is in full compliance with the ins requirements and stipulations u.s. officials didn't actually even bother to attend testing of the missile which they were invited to. this treaty the i.n.f. treaty is crucial for the balance of power as it was signed back in one nine hundred eighty seven between the united states and then the us s. r. it stipulates that both countries destroy missiles within the five hundred to five thousand five hundred kilometer range and under this agreement neither the us nor russia are allowed to produce or test any such missiles in the future nato secretary-general stoltenberg is now backing washington's decision despite europe repeatedly calling on both sides to comply with the treaty saying europe benefits very much from the agreement. so we must prepare for
10:19 am
a world without the on the. unit has been one of the the one that has benefited the most which is the this treaty for us as a european you know what would be extremely important to see is full compliance with the cittie and so the preservation of the treaty. russia has long accused the u.s. of making all tomatoes russian president vladimir putin said the u.s. was actually searching for any possible reason to withdraw from the treaty. first the american side says it wants to leave the treaty then they start looking for reasons why the main reason given is that we are violating something but at the same time no evidence of this is presented. and so now mike pompei o goes even further and openly suggest even creating its own so-called military
10:20 am
response. move forward with developing a response options to work with nato and other allies and partners to deny russia mildred from its a lawful conduct. so this seems like it's fully playing into the hands of the united states. states or would be in violation of the basic rule of the treaty and further developing its own military capabilities ok thank you down there that was done cohen in the united states for us we get more reaction now to enjoy and join rainer office is it your political analyst in consultant in these where this is saving always welcome thanks for coming on raina in your opinion do you think do you think this situation is irreversible what do you think the tayside can find some sort of common ground over the next six months. well from the perspective of europe and the all germany we have to be. an alarming development
10:21 am
and we see that we are stepping back. behind. the cold war era at the end of the eighty's and therefore european countries are well advised to make pressure on the united states to renegotiate and you'll i.n.f. treaty and maybe this is also what is behind this move it's always hard to foresee what is his final strategy but the problem is actually that china is not bound by any. treaty and of course china should also be involved to find a way to open a. new security structure that involves all that molten hemisphere and not only nato countries and russia how likely then is it that china would come around the table along with the u.s. and along with russia maine that seemed even more unlikely than perhaps suggesting
10:22 am
that russia and america could find a way of resolving their disputes over this particular missile. well that's a good question which of course has to remain open for a while but the question is whether china is willing to invest in such a common security infrastructure which at the present is not there and china also depends on such a new arrangement because there are at your political struggles going on between the u.s. and china which are alarming for all science and therefore it remains to be seen whether china is. a force in the mood to call out world which is so willing to cooperate. so far it was more doubtful tool assume this on behalf of the united states. where do we go from here what's the next step do you think rain or
10:23 am
if we have to rush in america. you know they've got they've tried to negotiate with each other and then the other side denies that's taken place and they've been the open ones not the other person what happens next well what happens max is so presumably that we will have an arms race in the united states also russia because the iron athey the eaves more space than for the military industrial complex in the united states and in russia to develop new rockets at this range between five hundred and five thousand five hundred kilometers of course the security industry will use this space and therefore an arms race is what we have to expect for what we expect mid term what the long term negotiations concerning an integration also china into it you are in a treaty arrangement does anyone benefit here well the military industrial complex complex of course but at its first people benefit less about europe
10:24 am
because should it ever try to an escalation military escalation between the united states and russia. you can never guarantee that this will not happen in any case then of course europe and above all germany would be a nuclear battlefield and this is nothing we can take very easily ok rayna nice until he really good to get your thoughts on this i was running for office geo political analyst and consultant thanks. how in the wake of the venezuelan crisis facebook and twitter launching another round of crackdowns on what they call foreign influence misinformation campaigns deleting thousands of accounts are his name is more on the story. facebook and twitter have announced a major cleanup targeting accounts and groups they suspect were engaged in so-called in the found take behavior and it influencing public opinion in different
10:25 am
countries of the social media platforms accounts they have removed mostly originated from russia iran and venezuela and here is how facebook described its crackdown on allegedly a malicious iranian accounts. just group some accounts called in to facebook and instagram this it's true that it was directed from iran in some cases report recently renewed state media content well as you just heard reporting articles about iranian state media is now apparently reason enough to suspend an account the accounts focused on issues like israel palestine conflict the situation in syria and yemen they were also airing proper listing interviews and reporting on this saudi operation in yemen and other social media platform twitter has also targeted accounts originating not only from russia and iran but also from venezuela and twitter has revealed that since september last year it has uncovered over four
10:26 am
hundred suspicious accounts believed to be a link to russia and the report says that those who are mostly affiliated with the russian internet research agency well what's interesting is that twitter quote cannot render definitive attribution to the agency for these accounts although they claim that most appear to originate and russia and much of the behavior mimics the activity of prior accounts tied to that particular group so no hard evidence was provided but still the punishment has been meted out regardless also twitter says that it has removed almost two thousand accounts located in financial bailout. funds and china vying for influence in the. yana but perhaps not in the way you might think.
