ladies and gentlemen. what. i. did a beautiful spring. i. bottled trump that sending troops to venezuela to support. a live option meantime venezuela's president. should leave something that an option stop trump hold it right now you'll make mistakes that will leave your

hands covered in blood and you will leave the presidency stained with blood both of us our president faces a backlash after accusing side of stirring up the jewel in the national unrest. over six hundred women come forward to accuse a brazilian faith. of years of sexual abuse and child trafficking we speak to one witness to his alleged crime. i told everybody i know when i saw my own eyes the truth everything i heard it's like your precious around. nine o'clock monday morning here in moscow for me. welcome to your program.

that the use of military force in venezuela is one of the options being considered as washington backs the country's self-proclaimed leader. what would make you use the u.s. military in venezuela it's an option stop stop trump hold it right then you are making mistakes that will leave your hands covered in blood and you will leave the presidency stained with blood stop would you personally negotiate with nicolas maduro to convince him to exit while he is requested a meeting and i've turned it down we believe variants have the capacity for dialogue understanding why would you want to repeat vietnam. eight european union countries so that they would recognize quite as well as leader if new presidential elections were not called by sunday well let's cross live now to our european correspondent peter all for joining us here on the program peter that ultimatum has

now expired what's next well we're expecting germany france britain and spain as well as others to announce on monday that they're putting their support behind opposition leader one quite doa in the developing situation in venezuela this ultimatum until midnight on sunday passed it was never likely the ultimatum being laid down by these e.u. nations to nicolas maduro was that he should call new elections by monday he was never going to do that in fact he said that asking to call fresh elections was a little bit on that the circumstances was a little bit like putting threats to spain saying that they have to recognize catalonia as an independent nation we don't accept ultimatums from anyone it's like you fight all the european union i give you seven days to recognize the republic of catalonia and if you don't we are going to take measures. well last

week the european parliament also recognized quite as the interim president interestingly out of the western european nations the only one to say that they were supporting material so far has been italy and states over elections that were called for what matilda is said what he wants to see anyway as a new vote in the opposition held national assembly but just who is one quite oh the thirty five year old lawyer has taken the world by storm and any taken venezuela by storm but who is he who supporting him.

to. the united states supports the courageous decision by juan why don't we just crossed the bio counties. ready to bring these funds for you to it's been true since we will recognize it as constitutional interim president to stand ready to recognize one as the interim president of venezuela. so could be a lesson to opposition leaders around the world declare yourself president and you may well get the backing of the united states and most of the international community however cynics would say that would heavily depend on what natural resources like below your country. thank you. will go to

house repeatedly accuse washington of plotting a coup to overthrow him and of supporting and directly instructing mr. more that goes the now looks at how the opposition leader who was mostly unknown a couple of weeks ago is now widely being touted as venezuela's legitimate president every so often you may have noticed the media much of it lose their minds they become obsessed crazed fixated on something to the point of madness and it's happening again the freedom fighter leading his country to democracy why do is investing in the people that revitalized the opposition leading the charge to topple the dictator there the mind of the very heart of venezuela's fight for democracy. why do the media's darling it's in every ad because prompter on every pundit slips on every tabloid hacks script and they've foregone the whole impartiality thing reuters it's latin american wing

a steeple fair and balanced journalism change the twitter background to this picture of who i'm going to do to secret who they're pushing the economist world famous if not entirely balanced on even the pretense of balance there why do isn't the front page portrayed as a champion hero if you squint you might mistake him for the statue of liberty and they want you their readers to know it's ok to interfere in venezuela's affairs because. for a good cause there was democracy is a right to seek change. the question is how democracy is a new book people power or the democracy usually means installing the guy that's friendliest with the west but just a coincidence perhaps oddly enough considering how angry america became and the

mere suspicion that russia interfered in its internal affairs elections you would think that they wouldn't want to interfere in others' internal affairs and you'd be wrong no washington is hinting at military intervention to get their guy on the throne it's clear at this point that what is happening in venezuela has already been decided i wish him a long quiet retirement on a pretty beach far from venezuela and the surgery takes advantage that the series likely to have a nice quiet retirement on a pretty beach rather than being in some other beach area like guantanamo there is an agenda in the air mission to accomplish in. the media washington think tanks and activists know how the software then is a long and bloody history of america's interventions in latin america they pushed

for change they got their way albeit at a huge cost let's just hope that that doesn't happen in venezuela. we talked to the only u.n. reportory to visit about as well or in twenty one years alfred desire says the u.n. should look into the threats of military intervention. what concerns me here is not just that the united states is breaking international law it does regularly systematically there's a tradition of bullying latin american states we have. too many right wing. in latin america that have been financed and have been organized by the cia if there is an attack. from colombia and brazil coordinated with the logistical or other support from washington that there

will be a jumble of war and tens of thousands of vets and that of course it's a matter for the united nations it's a matter of her and tony harris is a matter for michelle by surely to address now and to call for yet another emergency meeting of the security council because the united states is threatening with the use of force. after a twelve consecutive weekend of yellow vests protests in france president emmanuel mccrone is under attack from his political rivals now marine le pen who heads the national rally pot he accuses him of peddling conspiracy theories rather than tackling the crisis at on a normal function when he explains to boston to yellow vest or manipulative from abroad yes of course it's conspiracy theory and it's rather disturbing to see something like this from the president of the republic this is above all about his

wish to never doubt himself it's always others yellow vests russia the united states everyone except him. drew is a media product a product of social networks we source on facebook my friends i have the more capability to spread information i have the more imbrie tweeted just like with the yellow vests the fascists fear left wing sphere and the russian sphere comprise ninety percent of the movements online. charlotte there was going to take a look at the allegation that the french president is simply dodging responsibility . once upon a time there was a spontaneous social movement in france the people revolted against him and the president coming right down. and thousands injured but the people kept protesting and just their cries rang out loud respect for the president diminished he declared he would travel across the land

and listen to although i was kept i know it wasn't enough and the people stayed on the streets ok the president said one day if i can't beat you i'll join you for yellow vests means being for higher paid work in a more efficient parliament than i am a yellow vest it didn't quite go to plan so the president touched a new idea they decided to blame side influence he pointed his finger to the east and said it's those pesky russians and their leader who are the problem not me people overinvested online are the true extremes these are the people who buy accounts who troll this is russia today sputnik and central look since december the leading internet movements are no longer being fam it's russia today. but the people weren't boy they had watched the news from this outside influence and found it to be fair i. was. was the powers that

be continue to point their finger to the east telling their children to be wary of the stories that they weaved. if there was. ever. going to be on the more strong team we see on t.v. i want. one of the interesting things that michael said about r.t. and i think also sputnik he claimed that these were the media that are being followed on social networks if they go on to r.t. as emanuel says they are then that proves that they like what they find the idea that this should somehow be a cause for worry or you know proof that they are somehow fifth columnists just shows how dangerously or thora tarion the french regime is becoming he scared he is a pure creation of the media. and we can see that the bubble has burst and that his opinion ratings are very low that he feels it meant resentment

at the fact that. stealing the headlines when he wants to have the headline now is the president struggle to get ahold of the chaos in his country the russians were the perfect villains since the president had long harbored distrust of the we have evidence of fact that it's coming from the plane rasho the evidence of some very well known regime looks like. morals russia today in sputnik were organs of influence that produce things that were contrary to the truth about myself and my campaign so the president said his people had been misled by the czar of the east that the protests were not real and his subjects were rather naive and the news outlets across the land this brand new tale the french leader he would once more be beloved across the hills and dales but this story is not yet over the book is not yet closed the president remains a man the people oppose. over six hundred

women have come forward to accuse prominent brazilian faith healer john of god of sexual abuse and human trafficking. the seventy seven year old who was detained two months ago on to rape charges allegedly used women who came to him for treatment also as sexual slaves as well another wave of testimonies for gandalf the activist sabrina bitten court came forward with her allegations against john of god earlier last week she claimed that he was heavily involved in international child trafficking receiving large sums of money and gems as payment. plus they mostly added women were used as sex slaves they were usually black low income and live close to john of god it's illegal properties in return for food they were impregnated and the babies sold off to you really and us the girls were aged between fourteen and eighteen. on saturday it was reported that sabrina had committed suicide citing threats from john of god's followers but also her long

struggle with cancer now the healer has denied old allegations against him his practices gained international fame though when names like oprah winfrey and bill clinton came to visit one of his so-called healing centers a place where it's now alleged slaves were kept thousands of pilgrims have visited and that. one of the most famous spiritual healers in the world rarely talks to anyone on camera john of god agreed to sit down with me under a mingle tree on the grounds of the casa. a group of his patients gather to watch.

my father is a monster he took me to his room took my clothes off and i found a very strange then i asked him what are you doing and he said i'm going to perform a spiritual work on you that's when all hell broke loose in my life and friend of mine introduced me to john of god three months of time i joined he started abusing me i was sixteen he would take my panties off and do it that's how i got back and i asked for his house and he gave me some medicine i thought it was a form of treatment but it was meant to kill my baby. i was very big tree of this barefoot healer and brazil i was also at torquay so i went from two thousand and two to two thousand and eight taking groups there not so

much to be healed i was never a part of the cause i was a true tour guide although victims had been telling stories about him being inappropriate their stories were up and put to put his sites or hysteria or or making it out or wanting to have sex with him when i saw with my own. i so the truth everything i heard it's like your whole world crashes down around you and the woman you're seeing amy bianca is also one of the first to publicly come forward about witnessing jones' alleged abuses she's an american who was working as a tour guide in brazil and out of a ties jones spiritual center as a tourist attraction she shared with r.t. disturbing stories of what has purportedly been happening. i actually just was crying i told everybody i have. and then i got death threats so i was told that a white woman in brazil and disappear and nobody would ever find her that i should

go i should leave i shouldn't talk anymore to anybody about this. this was from people who work directly for joe out the workers who are there they knew what was happening and i'm relatively sure a number of the town people in there were signs i mean i would see people with little girls standing outside the door he had a special right outside place he had a special place and then they would go in for their private healing and the parents would be sitting outside i talked to one of the workers and she after i had blown the whistle on him before i left in twenty eight i she told me that. she started to cry when she said oh my god my life. back to plaza amounts of little girls. and now i realize it was jack you. are still to come here on our

international twenty past the hour here in moscow a gift for president putin. describing washington's unilateral decision to drop out of a cold war era nuclear treaty with russia will lift the lid on not after the break . that's geysers financial life they say money the bell a. lot of teasing this is a central plank support diet pill means i'm going to call them right now so you stop to. join me every thursday on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

responsible to the well. if you. decide to move ahead. with. the. bull and they. saw. the big. stories here or not see a gift for president putin. describing america's decision to suspend a key nuclear treaty with russia the agreement between the two countries was signed in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven and banned old land based but listed can

cruise missiles and launchers with short to intermediate ranges. donald quarter examines how the treaty suspension has been received. trump's decision to pull out of the i.n.f. treaty has come under fire from some of his fellow americans u.s. withdrawal may not be such a good idea they say and is actually a gift to russia who benefits most from the u.s. backing out of this treaty and lot of our potent russia has actually wanted to dissolve that treaty for some time so really playing the fence gift to vladimir putin this is going to be a gift to vladimir putin and russia why because it will allow russia to produce new ballistic missiles legally moscow has long been warning of increased armament between the two nuclear powers and after failing to reach any kind of understanding with washington vladimir putin said the time for empty talks is over. for many years we have proposed disarmament talks which are initiatives have not

found the support of our partners in fact they always find a pretext for dismantling the global security system moscow says it's purely defensive after all it's not russia building missile systems along the u.s. border but america is convinced russia started it with its own violations of the i.n.f. treaty to this day russia remains in material breach of its treaty obligations russia's violation russia has jeopardized the united states security interest russia shamelessly violates the russians are in violation of the agreement there's no mistaking that the russians have chosen to not comply with the treaty of washington's official beef is with this particular system but see russia says that it's in full compliance with the demands of the treaty moscow was even ready for reciprocal inspections of nuclear facilities but washington acted as if nothing happened. we vote for the president to transparency that goes far beyond the arab

league ations according to this treaty to convince the american that we don't reach the agreement. crushed by the americans and we got another ultimatum but withdrawing from the. treaty actually opened a whole range of possibilities for the u.s. to perfect their own missiles for example this bad boy it's much smaller than your average nuke but also much better for conventional usage production already started back in september and the donald has promised there's more where that came from we will move forward with developing our own military response options and will work with nato and other allies and partners to deny russia any military advantage from its unlawful conduct of course russia has many powerful weapons of its own conventional and nuclear but just having the ability to defend yourself isn't usually hospitalized so who benefits from leaving a treaty that was supposed to stop the world from nuclear annihilation this whole

crazy russia gate thing which has been peddled primarily by the democratic party to avoid facing the fact that deep social inequality that they helped orchestrate gave rise to a figure like trump. so yeah i mean they're going to twist anything to make it to the advantage of a lot of money and that's what they do i don't understand how this is to the advantage of russia any more than it is to the united states they'll be no limits on u.s. and russian nuclear forces and that will inevitably trigger an arms race to the detriment of russia and to the detriment of us and the detriment of humanity the only group that benefits from it in the united states are the weapons manufacturers that stand to make a lot of money. as outcry in sweden after security officers forcibly

removed a heavily pregnant black woman without a valid ticket from a subway train the incident has raised questions about the treatment of minorities in a country that is often seen as a beacon of tolerance. officials say she was later taken by ambulance to hospital and she said that she was afraid that her baby might die the incident or could days off her own investigative t.v. program on racial profiling in the country was ed in it swedes with foreign backgrounds allege they have been treated in disparaging ways by the police and off to the video went viral two security guards were suspended but the police are investigating the incident and social science professor. told us that the problem of racism that should be tackled politically. so how it happened these two.
