than a dozen the e.u. states have now recognized as interim president of venezuela however a source in italy's ruling coalition confirms to r t that rome vetoed e.u. wide statement recognizing the opposition leader as head of state has thanks to brussels and the pills to italy. behalf of. those who are hoping for a better life a sincere think you for the recognition given by the european bloc where waiting for italy. but like the rest of europe they will take a step towards the recognition whole host of e.u. member states of put their backing behind one quite doe as 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 right door because we absolutely opposed the fact that a country or a group of thirty countries can determine the international policies of another country this is called the principle of noninterference and has been recognized by the united nations 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 head. 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 if i told 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 nicolas maduro is 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 oh 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. don't try and pass again confirmed that the use of military force in venezuela is one of the options being considered if we do or doesn't step down what would make you use the us military in venezuela it's an option stop stop trump hold it right you're making mistakes that 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 coded we believe variants have the capacity for dialogue understanding why would you want to repeat vietnam. the military option has been on the white house agenda for fun time last week the us national security advisers know past caught the eye of reporters on it was written five thousand trips to

colombia. the border with venezuela where i doubt they have looks at how great those virtually unknown find venezuela a month ago is now 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 and leaving his country to democracy why do is investing in the people that revitalized our position leading the charge to topple the dictator there the man at the very heart of venezuela's fight for democracy. why do the media's darling it's in every prompter on every pundit slips on every tabloid hacks script and they've forgotten 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 and why do lou secret who they're pushing the economist word. old 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 nubile gone 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 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 israel is 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 can see is total nonsense i think he's being 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 and 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 that as. oil 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 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. a group of programming american states has changed its mind at the last moment i'm bound to russian media from crunch talks on venezuela believe

a group which includes the likes of brazil and colombia is meeting in canada to decide the next steps are to come as prime minister backed. the canadian foreign minister emailed sputnik and rio nava state but gave no reason for refusing accreditation venezuela based t.v. network tell us was also denied access without explanation is correspondent alina do arts who was meant to attend the talks and also are so as those moves are part of a strategy to prevent non-mainstream voices from being heard it's not a surprise not for me at least. it is not as it were the police are for it some have been created to dismantle these demonic narratives to show whether what must media isn't showing so it is not a surprise that they are not they don't like us and they've been trying to balance every single voice in that it's against this and against the. and i mean david this is only exposing the contradictions of these groups that have

been clinging for freedom of speech of speech that mark received but they are for cruelty or discounts or are far away from that nevers every single aspect that they are claiming for. after twelve consecutive weekends of yellow vest protests in france president a minor mccrone is under attack from his political rivals marine le pen who heads the national ronnie party accuses him of peddling conspiracy theories rather than tackling the crisis head on i don't know if i'm going to lose it when he explains to us today yellows verster 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. it's always others the elvis russia united states everyone except him truly is a media product

a product of social networks we saw it on facebook more 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. takes a look at the allegation that the french president has 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 in the was and thousands were injured but the people kept protesting and as 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 they 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. telling their children to be wary of the stories that they weaved and that if they were. ever.

going to. marcus she was one of the interesting things that mccall 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 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 mends resentment at the fact that they. are stealing the headlines when he wants to have the headline now as 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 things we shall give evidence of some very recent looks like. morals russia today in sputnik were going to have 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 leader hoping 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. meanwhile opinion polls continue to show a low level of support for their french president and. survey gives him an approval rating of twenty seven percent which is just eight points higher than nicholas madeira in venezuela a president who mccrone says has lost the right to lead his country let's bring in

a guest now to discuss that i dave lindorff founding editor of the news web site this can't be happening dot com mr linden's welcome to the program now clearly the situations in falls of it as well there are very different but do you think it's close to one like among all mccrone to be supporting and other elected leader in venezuela given how unpopular haiti is in france. yet you mean for mccrone yeah it's great it's very similar that they both are unpopular. and they're both facing fairly massive demonstrations. seeking ten oust them or have them resign. the difference of course is that the united states is promoting one. you know when we do it in minutes well as the real president and the u.s.

is backing my pro so there seems to be a. bit of tripod proceed here i would say in the u.s. perspective on both these countries but it's mostly to graphic occurs because the u.s. feels like it has an absolute right to interfere in any government in latin america and well it has interfered in elections in europe over the years it doesn't claim the right to do it. well a year is calling for elections in venezuela now regardless of who people support that's surely a good idea if people support my dear or they can just reelect him and bolster his legitimacy. well that's right i mean if it were just a matter of pushing for elections they already did that once the last presidential election which was forced early by a vote of the finished well in legislature. and madeira won that election

partly because the opposition decided to boycott the election that they had first pushed to have my guess is that they were going to lose it so they boycotted it. but you know they could have another election and see who wins that would be probably the least violent way out of it and most western power as now supporting one credo in venezuela but how much the point do you think he actually has in his own country. you know it's really hard to tell if you look at the demonstrations which of course get you know pumped up by organizers so you don't know how spontaneous they are seems to have the larger demonstrations. and. i think it's more at this point you know the u.s. has been working very hard for years to foment unrest in venezuela and. so. and sure they've been you know pulling strings behind the scenes with trying to

lure military to switch sides but you know promising them all kinds of goodies and weapons and so on so. you know that they supported a coup against chavez earlier now they seem to be promoting a coup by the military again it's really going to be a question of whether the military sticks behind mid-year of in which case the slow sort of go away over time or whether the military you know the pressure continues in the military starts to really flip and that could happen very fast if it starts well and as well is facing so many challenges that hyperinflation food and medicine such as rampant crime it's grade zero well as to what an election and officially become presidents do you think he would be able to solve these huge problems the country faces. well yeah he would because a lot of the problems that minister was facing are caused by the united states it

is the one that has been embargoing venezuelan oil keeping venezuela from being able to sell oil the u.s. has also been manipulating the trying to manipulate the oil price and keep it low and one of the effects of that has been. you know that it's devastated venezuela which depended largely on. oil revenues to support the views mo. u. reforms that were giving more money and more development to the poor and been able to do that with fifty dollar oil. so you know and we do is getting a lot of blame for things that are outside his control. we do would get the benefit of the u.s. turning open the oil spigot so even if oil were cheap as it is now relatively speaking he would be able to sell it to be able to sell it to america which is the easiest place to export it to right as a window found i guess it is as

a nice website this can't be happening dot com thank you for your time. ok thanks the president as well on that islamic states could make a comeback in syria with our story on the most does it come in the program off the right. the u.s. intel community and the political establishment challenge trumps foreign policy is this a good or bad thing also forced regime change in venezuela continues apace. in a world of big partisan law 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 back 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. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back the pentagon has issued a stark warning that i still will resurface very quickly if the u.s. with jools its troops it is very likely the dices will have the opportunity to set conditions for future research and and territorial control absences team counter

terrorism pressure isis could likely resurgent syria within six to twelve months and regain limited territory in the middle euphrates river valley well these recent words from the pentagon are quite the opposite of what we've heard from u.s. president donald trump who says that i sill has indeed been defeated and knock of the hell out of isis will become another syria like very soon we have just absolutely decimated isis just absolutely obliterated isis in iraq we have won a good study says we've beaten them and we've beaten him badly now we've won it's time to come back now it was this reported defeat of isis that was given as the reason that donald trump was going to withdraw u.s. forces from syria now that was a controversial decision and james madison apparently resigned in response to it now at this point we're two months later and we're hearing from from trump that

apparently there is talk that the usa could return to syria in the blink of an eye if need be that you could in that vacuum see a resurgence of isis see a resurgent you know they're winning out we'll come back if we have to we have very fast airplanes we have very good cargo planes we can come back very quickly now the report also seems to indicate that's the report from the pentagon that isis could indeed resurgent in iraq and that's why the u.s. forces have not been removed from that country however in iraq people are not quite happy about the u.s. military presence there lawmakers in iraq are actually planning to put forward a bill to stop the foreign adviser presence in. country so at this point there clearly seems to be some disagreement about the nature of isis and its ability to resurge or to come back and there seems to be some tension possibly between the president and folks in the pentagon about what exactly to do about isis and how powerful isis might be security analyst charles told as the fighting i still was

never the top priority for the u.s. in syria. this analysis isn't a complete surprise of course because when donald trump announced his decision to withdrawal from a couple of months ago. there were a huge amount or a huge number of off the record briefings by the pentagon by security intelligence agencies we see that the intelligence chiefs are suggesting that u.s. troops should stay in. syria because of the threat from isis. trump himself of course has said that in relation to iraq i did relation to syria that the reason why the u.s. troops there isn't to do with isis anyway it's to do with. protecting the interests of israel by keeping iran at bay and stopping the expansion of iranian influence across the country and. there's anger in sweden after security officers forcibly removed a heavily pregnant black woman without a valid ticket from

a trade and pinned her to a bench the incident has raised questions about the treatment of minorities in a country that has often portrayed itself as a beacon of tolerance. officials say the woman was taken to hospital by ambulance the alleged victim insisted she had her travel card with her but failed to find it immediately and by the time she pulled it from her pocket the ticket control had 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 after the video went viral two security guards were suspended the police

are investigating the incident social science professor adriana global oppo told is the problem of racism should be tackled politically sure how it happened these two are wired to sue this. woman i don't think so. probably they will treat her in another way people with my mum buy clothes space and. after suits i'm in the black community here and sooner but everybody of course they are much more aggressive against nonwhite people police guards are doing the racial profile. without a security issue then you can buy a load your rights very very smooth because you don't have the to keep them going and the time must be really really fought in different ways swarth to have tensions in society in this way they are very much on people of.

the white skin the question of structural discrimination racism and sweden should be political first of all because this is a political problem. thanks for joining us on r.t. international this hour will be back at the top of the hour with the latest. i'm not loud i'm not the one that i have a good. one being that i was in la john. stuck a little lucky the one with imo. but in a shelf warning last year and this led. to. the danger that lashed all allowed to go long walk for just saw. him turn playing live with the energy you have been shot which you did you give those who don't want to like them and they need to mature into child john. you know what.
