the final go round. the room sit. room. was. vito's plans for a joint statement to recognize one way doe was the new president of venezuela the rejection was confirmed to wate by a source inside italy's ruling coalition meanwhile certainly it's something that's on the it's an option stop stop trying to hold it right that you're making mistakes leave your hands covered in blood and you will leave the president's stained with

blood. donald trump again stressed is this sending troops to venezuela to support think position leader is still alive option as well as president nicolas maduro warns of deadly consequences. the pentagon claims that eyes though will resurface in the middle east if the u.s. leaves a mark in the contrast with president trump assurances that the terror group has been absolutely obliterated. and anger in sweden off the security officers will move a heavily pregnant black woman without a valid take it from a subway train. a very warm welcome you are watching r.t. international with mina carrying. more than a dozen states have now recognized one kwaito as interim. president of venezuela

however a source in italy's ruling coalition confirms to r.t. the rome vetoed in the wind statement recognizing the opposition leader as head of state has thanks to brussels and pilled to italy. i'm 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. the rest of europe they will take a step towards a 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 though 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 why 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 a 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 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 maduna i 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 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. so outran has again confirmed the use of military force in venezuela is one of the options being considered if it 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 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 coded we believe areas 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 notepads caught the eye of reporters on it was written five thousand troops to colombia colombia shares a border with venezuela war and gas you have looks at how kwaito virtually unknown

outside and as well 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 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 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 latin american wing a steeple fair and balanced journalism change the twitter background to this

picture of who and why do lucy quit who they're pushing the economist world for. amos 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 the right to seek change of venezuela the question is how democracy is a nubile gone people power. the democracy usually means installing the guide 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 but israel is doing well oiled prices were high there was lots of social provision so his claim today he's doing out of concern for the poor people and it's only because of the current economic condition of the of the conceit is total nonsense i think he's being pressured by the united states into doing things that i think is 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 venezuela. and the sooner he takes advantage of that the center is 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 pushing forward all of the media washington think tanks and activist know how this 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 i just hope that that doesn't happen in venezuela asmara had mentioned to us interventions in south america and in south america have often led to tragic consequences but it all cases washington has claimed to be supporting democracy the united states has a special responsibility to support and nurture democracy and freedom in the status

.

a group of pro-grade american states has changed its mind the last moment in bangor russian media from crunch talks on venezuela the lima group which includes the likes of brazil and colombia is meeting in canada to decide the next steps after canada's prime minister backed a dome the canadian foreign ministry emailed sputnik andrea navas day but gave no reason for refusing accreditation venezuela based t.v. network telesur was also denied access without explanation is correspondent alina duarte who was meant to attend those talks in ottawa so yes these 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 closer for it some has been created to dismantle these demonic narratives it's

a 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 venezuelan and i mean david this is only exposing the contradictions of these groups that they've been clinging for freedom of speech speech that see what they are for currently with discounts are far away from respect and there is every single aspect that they are claiming for. after twelve consecutive weekend of yellow vests protests in france president emanuel mccrone is under attack from his political rivals marie 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 claims to want to do yellow vest or manipulative from abroad yes of course it's conspiracy theory and it's rather disturbing to see

something like this from depress. didn't of the republic this is above all about his wish to never doubt himself it's always others the eldest 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 imbrie tweeted just like with the yellow vests the fascists fear left wing sphere in the russian sphere comprise ninety percent of the movements online show and 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 when 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 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. never. seen we see on t.v. i want. 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 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'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 they are stealing the headlines when he wants to have the headline now as the president struggled 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 brain which show the evidence of some very recent moves 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 tsar 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 russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman marie as the horror of essays the claims from a cron are part of a broader campaign against the russian media. peter maass we can see a mess if well planned and cardin they did complain against russian media outlets the goal of our western partners is to make the russian media toxic not to find real facts because the facts they are looking for don't exist if they did they would have been presented longer gulp meanwhile opinion polls continue to show a low level of support for the french president the latest survey gives him an approval rating of twenty seven percent which is just eight points higher than nicolas maduro in venezuela a president whom across the says has lost the rights to the to his country and investigative journalist david believes both the french and us governments all guilty of hypocrisy in venezuela the united states is promoting one.

you know when we do in minutes well as the real president and the u.s. is backing my pro so there seems to be a. bit of a tripod proceed here i would say you know the u.s. has been working very hard for years to foment unrest in venezuela 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 you know that they supported it coogan's jarvis earlier and 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 maturer in which case the slow sort of go away over time or whether the military starts to really flip the pentagon has warned that islamic states could make

a comeback in syria we've got the details on that story still to come after the break. these balls to go to the one point germany a few other countries decide to move ahead. with. seeking to gather you thirty for example and they feel. that's that's

possible saw it fall or will not prevail she will not be part of the change. welcome back the pentagon has issued a stock warning that i still will resurface very quickly if the u.s. withdraws its troops. it is very likely the devices 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 still 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 really doing no good 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 the 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 some tension possibly between the president. folks in the pentagon about what exactly to do about isis and how powerful isis might be a security analyst charles c. bridge told us that fighting i still was never the top priority for the u.s. in syria well this analysis today isn't a complete surprise of course because when donald trump announced his decision to

withdrawal from syria a couple of months ago. there were a huge amount 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. in syria because of the threat from isis. trump himself of course has said that in relation to iraq and in 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 that country and. there's anger in sweden after security offices forcibly removed a heavily pregnant black woman without a valid ticket from a train and pinto to a bench the incident has raised questions about the treatment of minorities in a country that is often portrayed itself as a beacon of tolerance. officials

say they will man 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 out of 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 ager and go global post told us that the problem of racism should be tackled politically. so happened

to a while sue this opera glass woman i don't think so. probably there will treat her in another way people with my from by clones personally. i'm in the black community. but everybody of course there are much more aggressive nonwhite people police guards are doing racial profiling. regarding security so even you can buy a load your rights very very slim because you don't have the two could i'm a doctor must be really really thought in different ways swartz to have seen society in this way their remarks on people of our. skin the question of structural discrimination racism and students should be political first of all because it's a political problem. a form of child abuse known as breast ironing

is said to be on the rise in the u.k. reports suggest dozens if not hundreds of british girls are being subjected to it most of the victims are of african descent with the practice common place in parts of the continent the practice aims to delay a breast formation in pre-teen girls by a painfully massaging skin with hot wooden sticks and stones until the tissue ruptures the idea behind the procedure is to discourage male attention and prevent rape the u.n. warns that it is one of the most underreported gender based crimes in the world we spoke to two women who were victims in their childhood and they say typically it's the parents who commit the abuse. rosewell was through. my mom's they went through marriage once you were bruce was discovered he was. no distribute.

or was. more. remote we also spoke to the co-founder of a children's rights group she believes the problem is bigger than the reports suggest it thousands of girls have been victims all they've been affected. by breast i and me and this is because most of them migrated to the u.k. already the problem of breast ironing doctors say the practice has severe health implications breast dining can increase the risk of cancer and lead to complications with breast feeding later in life their procedure can also cause infections and result in physical and psychological damage the u.k.

government is valid to criminalize the practice though activists accuse it of being too slow to respond geraldine the n word again told us about the appalling consequences of breast. most of them have got sagging braz because you know the skin has been strange because first of all they use those stones and those who are the youth and schools and the pieces to suppress the group of the breast and this is make sure and where once the breast tries to foster self out what happens and this affects their whole life long conditions in the sense that they are emotionally disturbed realize they even fly need to call to even open up to people or even on dress in front of their friends even all norms in front of the has been . well here at r.t. we like to hear what you have to say on all of our stories so do get in touch by following us on social media we'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest there then.
