as we have petitions to cause this for to snoop on what we knew of those the girls who were in this record just to whom she shouldn't feel you should cook door for the one who's doing. the. promo vito's plans for a joint statement to recognize one guy doe's the new president of venezuela the rejection was confirmed to r.t. by a source inside italy's ruling coalition in the meantime. certainly it's something that's on the chin up shit stop stop trying hold it right there you're making

mistakes that leave your hands covered in blood you believe the president stained with blood. on a trump again stresses that sending troops to venezuela to support the opposition leader is still a live option and that's where this president nicolas maduro there has been warning of bloody consequence. you know these french president among your microphone faces a backlash after accusing outside actors of stoking national reps but also to come this hour. and anger in sweden after security officers remove a heavily pregnant black woman without a valid ticket from a subway train. for you good evening t. this is r t international. more than

a dozen states of now recognize one going to go as interim president of venezuela however a source in italy's ruling coalition has confirmed to aunty that rome refused to back in the statement recognizing the opposition leader as head of state our correspondent peter oliver picks up the story. whole host of e.u. member states of put their backing behind one quite doe at the interim president of venezuela the likes of germany spain the united kingdom france and denmark and the netherlands among others have said that quite doe is their man to take venezuela into a fresh set of elections now one country that you're not going to hear from is italy r.t. is heard from sources within the five star movement part of the ruling coalition in that country saying they have no intention of following the rest of their partners and supporting one quite zero in fact what we're hearing is that they are the reason italy is the reason that there is no unified e.u.

statement on why they vetoed that just last week we heard from their deputy foreign minister who explained why they're taking the stance. italy does not recognize corey do because we absolutely opposed the fact that a country or a group of third countries to determine the international policies of another country this is called the principle of noninterference and has been recognized by the united blue shoes. the reason that these announcements of come about it follows on from a ultimatum that was given by either nations to president nicolas maduro saying he had to call fresh elections in the country by midnight on sunday or e.u. member states would start supporting mr joe. was never going to give in to this ultimatum what we have heard from him though is calls for fresh elections in the national assembly. which is dominated by the opposition which mr

quite oh is headed up said it was the same is threatening spain with action should they not recognize catalonia is an independent state 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 because material was also warned that civil war remains a possibility in venezuela as long as the united states and e.u. members continue to throw their support behind one quite zero whether the crisis could result in civil war depends on the greve insanity and aggressiveness of the northern imperialists and its western allies as international pressure increases on nicolas maduro to stand down as president he maintains he isn't going anywhere. donald trump has again confirmed that the use of military force in venezuela is one

of the options that's being considered doesn't step down. what would make you use the u.s. military in venezuela it's an option stop stop trump hold it right there you're 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 counted we believe variance have the capacity for dialogue understanding why would you want to repeat vietnam. the military option has been on the white house agenda for some time last week the u.s. national security advisers know had caught the eye of reporters on it was written five thousand troops to colombia colombia of course shares a border with venezuela. looks now at how virtually unknown outside venezuela just a month ago is now 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 leading his country to democracy why do is investing in the people that revitalized our position and 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 anchor's prompter on every pundit slips on every tabloid hacks script and they've foregone the whole impartiality thing reuters latin american wing a staple fair and balanced journalism change their twitter background to this picture of one guy due to secret who they're pushing the economist world famous if not entirely balanced or 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 the right to seek change. the question is how democracy is a noble goal people power or the democracy usually means installing the guy that's friendliest with the west. 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 other's internal affairs and you'd be wrong no washington is hinting at military intervention to get their guy

on the throne he was schooled in the united states he was involved in the student uprising as in two thousand and seven two thousand and eight against the chavez regime now that venezuela was doing well oiled prices were high there was lots of social provision so his claim today that he's doing out of concern for the poor people and it's only because of the current economic condition of the of the can see is total nonsense i think he's been pressured by the united states into doing things but i think he's disposable he's what the americans would call a patsy. and so i think in the media you would see somebody else taking over 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 of that the series likely to have a nice quiet retirement not

a pretty beach rather than being in some other beach area like guantanamo there is an agenda in the air mission to accomplish in pushing for it but media washington think tanks and activists know how the so often ends as 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 twelve consecutive we can deliver us protests in france present a monument romney is under attack from his political rivals marine le pen who had the national rally party accuses him of peddling conspiracy theories rather than tackling the crisis. i don't know if i continues excrete when he explains to was that a 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 the yellow vests russia the united states everyone except him is 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 retreated just like with the yellow vests the fascists fear left wing sphere in the russian sphere comprise ninety percent of the movements online article didn't get takes a look at the allegation that the french president is dodging responsibility. once upon a time there was a spontaneous social movement in france as the people revolted against an unpopular president and government crackdown on them. 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 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 yellow vest 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 no use 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's if there was. never putting. 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 on to r.t. as emmanuel michael says they are then that proves that they like what they find you. idea that they should somehow be 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 meant resentment

at the fact that. stealing the headlines when he wants to have the headline now is the president struggled to get a hold 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 stemming from the show evidence of some very well known regime looks like. russia today in sputnik were going to of influence them 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 media hate being 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. those anger in sweden

of security offices there forcibly removed a heavily pregnant black woman without a valid ticket from a train and pinned to a bench instance raise questions about the treatment of minorities in a country that is often portrayed itself as being a beacon of tolerance. the . officials say that the woman was taken to hospital by ambulance the victim insisted she had her travel card with her but failed to find it immediately by the time she pulled it from her pocket the ticket controller has already issued a fine here's how she recalls what happened. 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 up to the video went viral two security guards were suspended the police are investigating the incident social science professor adrian told us that the problem of racism should be tackled politically. so happen these two are white through this. last one i don't think so. probably they will treat her in another way people with mike brown by clowns basically. frustrates them and the black community treated very very badly of course they are much more aggressive gas nonwhite people police guards are doing racial profile. regarding security in sweden you can buy lead your rights very very easily because you don't have the ticket among them that must be really really thought in different ways it is swarth to have tensions in society in this way there are very much on

people that are nonwhite skin the question of structural discrimination and racism in sweden should be politically close to call because this is a political problem. this is foreign minister says the moscow is not looking for a new arms race with the united states after a kenya late treaty was suspended more on that after the break. you know world of big part of a lot of things and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath and shouting past each other it's

time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. baseballs to bow to the one point the. money if you are that gun peace decides to move ahead. with. the into a very for example and they. would be for a level they kind of integration that's does fall civil so it does not prove she would not be part of that change. will come back the united states has accused russia of conducting tests which

violate the i.n.f. treaty banning intermediate range nuclear missiles washington insisted a new missile flew more than five hundred kilometers in tests russian officials point out that its maximum range is almost half but not easy to trenchard's on quarter. so russia is absolutely not a fan of starting a new arms race in the twenty first century after all saying goodbye to the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty isn't just an immensely serious political statement being made by the donald trump administration america's already announced that it will be developing new weapons and two that the russian foreign minister is saying that in any case moscow's ready to catch up however he's saying that this won't require new budget paragraphs and moscow's military spending. we're not looking for an arms race with the u.s. of course we will react to the threats created by the us suspension of the i.n.f.

treaty movie initiatives coming from us are still available but we're not going to chase our western partners to remind them of this mr lavrov also called out europe he says that if the european states are keen to preserve some form of international arms control they should stop following orders from washington and this is what he meant by that the people of norway. 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 i have treaty is one of those landmark international agreements that will now only remain in the history books with the reason for that being donald trump and the way he sees international law here's my colleague donald quarter on how the treaty suspension has been received and i should say some of the takes are quite surprising 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 to benefits most from the u.s. backing out of this treaty a lot of air putin's russia has actually wanted to dissolved. that treaty for some time so really playing the fence gift to vladimir putin this is going to be a gift to vladimir putin in russia why because it will allow russia to produce new ballistic missiles legally 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 interests russia's 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 but withdrawing from the treaty actually opened a whole range of possibilities for the us 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

a cause for alarm so who benefits from leaving a treaty that was supposed to stop the world from nuclear annihilation consisting constituent of russia's federation council thinks the united states is looking for an excuse to quit the and if deal. it's really true to. world under its control the concept of exceptionalism has gone too far any attempt to attain junior lateral supremest the in the arms fear can provoke a mere response from other countries and there's no doubt that russia china and other states will do this there's no other means of securing collective security than parity the americans deny this they believe they can maintain their national security by attaining supremacies over their opponents but it's an illusion but once will be insured and russia will not accept any of the variants russia has made its them point clear it's still at the negotiating table if the us has extra questions it has a right to ask them and russia in its turn has a right to answer them or not the americans need to reach enter into dialogue with

russia and then things might improve but currently there is no sign of this and there's little chance of this happening as the u.s. needs to suspend the iron if treaty is seeking a reason to exit it and attain supremacies in the arms alone. iraqi officials have expressed fury have to present trump admitted u.s. bases in the country are actually being used to illegally spy on iran want to be able to watch or read all i want to do is be able to watch we have an unbelievable and expensive literary base built in iraq or trauma speaking about the military facility america's largest in iraq it is used by the u.s. and coalition forces to fight isis but it belongs to iraq with the pentagon banned from having its own bases in the country that makes it illegal for washington to use the facility for u.s. national purposes. top iraqi politicians have acted angrily to trump's revelation

and one such use of the base breaches the country's sovereignty iraq's president sally reminded his u.s. counterpart about the rules washington agreed to follow. the iraqi custody rejects the use of iraq is a base for hitting or attack in a neighboring country u.s. troops in iraq are there is part of an agreement between the two countries with a specific mission of combating terrorism do not overburden iraq with their own issues but i just had fahmy of the iraqi parliament council representative says that statement shows america's disrespect. this is statement it's not only rarely should they argue certainty which it is is also in opposition to their vision statement of the you like it's not want i did it and even if it is it could go eat shit up which should also with the existing agreement between us and iraq i don't think we need any other any power the worm or the. as
