ladies and gentlemen. what. a beautiful spring. thaw i. will try. sending troops to venezuela. meantime venezuela's president warns the lucky consequences of something that. still still. making the stakes leave your hands covered in blood

and he will leave the president stained with blood. the french president emanuel faces a backlash for accusing. those of stirring up national under arrest also this hour . an outcry in sweden security remove a heavily pregnant woman with. a subway train. welcome to the program here an aussie international news team here rounding up the world's top stories for this hour. one of italy's ruling parties has confirmed to watty that it will not support the e.u.'s push to recognize venezuelan opposition leader one quite go as venezuela's interim president it comes after eight european union

countries said they would recognize him thus if new presidential elections were not called by sunday well as cross live now to our european correspondent peter oliver here about ultimatum expired hours ago what happens next yes well we are expecting to hear from. nations that include germany france the united kingdom spain and others who are going to say that since fresh elections were called they're now supporting the opposition leader one quite though as interim president however the one fly in the oddments of a unified e.u. statement we're understanding it's been confirmed to r.t. from the the five star movement is italy that they're saying they are not on side with this now the ultimatum that had been given by the e.u. states was for nicolas maduro to call fresh elections he rejected this he said asking him to do this was like asking spaying to recognize an independent catalonia

we don't accept ultimatums from anyone it's like you fight all the european union i give you seven days to recognise the republic of catalonia and if you don't we are going to take measures where president maduro also warned that if the united states and european union member states continue with their support for it could well lead venezuela on a path to civil war whether the crisis could result in civil war depends on the greve insanity and aggressiveness of the northern imperialists and its western allies. but austria on sunday became the eighth e.u. nation to confirm that if there were new no new elections they would be backing why don't they join germany france the u.k. spain portugal the netherlands and belgium and saying no new vote that they're going to but. i just had

a very good phone call with the president one way he has our full support to restore democracy in venezuela venezuelans have suffered too long from the mismanagement and disregard of the rule of law by the mature regime we are ready to recognize one by doing this interim president we will recognize him as constitutional interim president says if by tonight president maduro does not commit the term denies in presidential elections then france will consider one way dark and slipped into metol denies them in his place while international support comes in for one to take over as interim president the current sitting president nicolas maduro says he isn't going anywhere i doubt he's played a role of a life and berlin thank you. now all of this comes as donald trump has confirmed that the use of military force in venezuela is one of the options being considered as washington backs the country's self-proclaimed leader one. what would make you

use the u.s. military in venezuela it's an option to 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 areas have the capacity for dialogue understanding why would you want to repeat vietnam. we talked to the only u.n. rapper to it's a visit to venezuela and twenty one use alfred desire says the united nations 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. 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 or made it with the logistical or other support from washington that there will be double war and tens of thousands of them and that of course it's a matter for the united nations it's a matter for info on you this is a matter for michel bashfully to address now and to call for yet another emergency meeting of the security council because that united states is happening with the use of force. has repeatedly accused washington of plotting a coup to overthrow him and of directly instructing mr glyde oh so on to correspondent looks at how the opposition leader who was virtually unknown outside of venezuela two weeks ago is now widely being touted as the country'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 leaving 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 hard to. in this fight for democracy kwan why do the media's darling every anchor's prompter on every pundits lips on every tabloid hacks script and they've foregone the whole impartiality thing reuters latin american wing a staple fair and balanced journalism change the twitter background to this picture of one guy due 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 it's for a good cause it was democracy is a right to seek change. the question is how democracy is a new book people power. 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 when 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 isn't a. in the air mission to accomplish in pushing forward all of the media washington think tanks and activist know how this often ends 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.

after a twelve consecutive weekend of yellow verse protests in france president emanuel mark wrong is under attack now from his political rivals marine le pen for instance who heads the national rally party accuses him of peddling conspiracy theories rather than tackling the crisis head on on more from continues excrete when he claims he was to the gallows vaster manipulated 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 our there are vast russia the united states everyone except him truly is a media product a product of social networks we source on facebook more friends i have the more capability to spread information i have the more i'm retreated just like with the yellow vests the fascists fear left wing sphere in the russian sphere comprise ninety percent of the movements online. now takes

a good look at the allegation that the french president is perhaps dodging responsibility. once upon a time there was a spontaneous social movement in france as the people revolted against him and the president coming right down with them. and thousands were 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 all the words get by no 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 if you kill over means being for higher paid work and the more efficient parliament than i am a yellow vest it didn't quite go to plan so the president touched a new idea and decided to blame outside 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 two extremes those are then the people who buy counts who troll this is russia today sputnik it's a true look since december the leading internet movements are no longer b.f.m. 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. the powers that be continue to point their finger to the east telling their children to be wary of the stories that they weaved and that if they were sent. on a really more strong team reseal and even marcus she was one of the interesting things that my course 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 onto r.t.

as emmanuel michael says they are and 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's scared he is a pure creation of the media. and we can see now that the bubble has burst and that his opinion ratings are very low that he feels it mends 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 that it's coming from the plain english ok if you consider that some very well known regime looks like. moles russia today and sputnik were all the news

of influence that produced 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 one small be beloved across the hills and dales but this story is not yet over the book is not yet closed the president remains that men the people oppose. as outcry in sweden after security officers forcibly removed a heavily pregnant woman without a valid ticket from a subway train the incident has raised some questions about the treatment of minorities in a country that has often been seen as a beacon of tolerance. oh it was. was.

the incident days off to an investigative t.v. program on racial profiling in the country was ed in it swedes with foreign backgrounds allege they had been treated in disparaging ways by police officials say the woman in the subway incident was later taken by ambulance to hospital here's how she recalls what. they took me by the arm very hard the first me out they put me on the bench with my stomach down one of them put their knee on my back and i lost my breath i was afraid that my baby was going to die in my belly after the video went viral two security guards were suspended but the police are investigating the incident and social science professor. told us the problem of racism should be tackled politically. so how happened these to a white. upper class woman i don't think so. probably they will treat

her in another way people with mike on by clones basically. after suits on the black community soon are treated very very badly of course they are much more aggressive against nonwhite people police guards and racial profiling. regarding security issue than you can by lead your rights very very recently because you don't have the ticket among the time must be really really thought in different ways it is swarth to have tensions in society in this way they are very much on people of. non white skin the question of structural discrimination and racism in sweden should be political first of all because this is a political problem so russia's foreign minister says moscow is not looking for a new arms race with the united states after both sides decide to drop out of

a nuclear treaty a moron that after the break. when lawmakers manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts and be the one percent. we can all middle of the room see. real new. baseball similar to the one point. when if you are that gun crews decide to move

ahead. with. seeking to gather you very focus on will and they. will be for level they kind of integration that's that's possible so it does not prove she would not be part of the change. in monday program welcome to it over six hundred women have come forward to accuse prominent brazilian a faith healer john of god of sexual abuse and human trafficking the seventy seven year old who was detained two months ago i want to rape charges allegedly used women who came to him for treatment as sex slaves and the healer has denied old

allegations against him. 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 a friend of mine introduced me to john of god three months after i joined his started abusing me i was sixteen she would take my panties off and do it that's how i got pregnant i asked for his help and he gave me some medicine i thought it was a form of treatment but it was meant to kill my baby.

one of the most famous spiritual healers in the world where only talk to anyone on camera john of god agreed to sit down with me under an angled tree on the grounds of the casa. over this case inch gather to watch. the wave of testimonies began after one activist supreme 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 even germans as payment plus names only added women were used as sex slaves they were usually black low income to live close to john of god it's illegal properties in return for food they were impregnated and to be resold off to you katie australia and us the girls were aged between fourteen and eighteen. on

saturday it was reported had been caught had committed suicide citing threats from the followers of john of god but also with a long struggle with cancer now another whistleblower amy blank was someone the first to publicly speak out she's an american who was working as a tour guide in brazil and used to advertise john of god spiritual center as a tourist attraction she shared with r.t. some disturbing tales of washee allegedly saw happening that. he hurts them in so many ways and i i actually just was crying i told everybody i could tell you have to understand it was a very remote part of brazil so was unless you could go to the local police station and report this. i told the workers and they were horrified because many of them had been fooled also but it's it's become way way bigger than just sexual abuse it's. she schumann.

and then i got death threats and i was told that a white woman in and disappear nobody would ever find her that i should go i should leave and shouldn't talk anymore to anybody about this. and this was from people who worked directly for jail out. of the workers who were there they knew what was happening and i'm relatively sure a number of the town. and after after broke down their lives. there were signs i mean i would see people little girl standing outside the door we had a special right outside the place we had a special on. where she were doing what was called private he was ok i talked to one of the workers and she told me that. she started to cry she said oh my god

i like. to present the mouths of little girls oh now i realize it was jack and i. shoot but for a minute it was sorrow on the taken up i felt because she thought it was ectoplasm because. this is aussie international now russian foreign minister so to get a lot of it off as a reiterated that russia is not looking for a new alms race with the united states his statement comes amid a rile between both countries on suspending a key nuclear treaty let's get details almost off posting live to watch you know if you're trying to what else did the foreign minister have to say on this. warry good afternoon well it is all about the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty and it seems for now at least russia will keep making signals implying

that if americans are reasonable enough to get back to talking about this moscow will still be up for that and this is some of the latest of what the russian foreign minister said. we. are not looking for an arms race with the us of course we will react to the threats created by the us suspension of the i.n.f. treaty all of the initiatives coming from us are still available but we're not going to chase our western partners to remind them of this so again russia is absolutely not a fan of starting a new arms race in the twenty first century sergey lavrov is making that clear once again but saying good bye to the i.n.f. treaty is not just an immensely serious political statement the donald trump administration is making america has already announced that it will be developing new arms and sergey lavrov says that in any case moscow will do everything to catch

up with that but the russian military budget won't require new paragraphs for that mr lavrov also called out europe he said that if european states are keen to preserve the international control of arms they shouldn't just follow u.s. orders. we're living in a new era an era which is characterized by u.s. efforts to break the entire system of arms control including the limits of offensive strategic arms and that's a pity. the odd after treaty is another landmark international agreement that they back to the cold war era now i believe that it will be history soon because of the donald trump administration suddenly deciding that it needs to be ditched but that follows many many accusations from

the american side that russia is violating the treaty however moscow kept denying that to this day russia remains in material breach of its treaty obligations russia's violation russia has jeopardized the united states' security interests russia shamelessly violates russia's or violation of the agreement there's no mistaking that the russians have chosen to not comply with this treaty as we've mentioned russian officials on the highest level keep saying that there is still up for negotiations to save the treaty but it appears they are not getting any feedback on that from the americans. no i don't think downtown moscow just in front of the kremlin thank you for. your monday headline still to come here on our international we return at the top of the hour. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s.

is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten dollars prime stamping each day . eighty five percent of global you want to be rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent 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 numbers you need to remember one one this will show you can't afford to miss the one and only. the us in order to guarantee. by the population well stop totalitarianism and that's clearly on the march and the population is ready for it we know they were. getting ready for their get ready to be control.
