vito's plans for a joint statement to recognize one way doe is the new president of venezuela the rejection was confirmed by a source inside it italy's ruling coalition meanwhile certainly it's something that's on the it's an option stop stop trying to hold it right you are 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 the opposition leader is still alive option and as well as president nicolas maduro warns of deadly consequences. the pentagon claims that i still will resurface in the middle east if the u.s. leaves to marking a contrast with the president trying to shore insist that the terror group has been absolutely obliterated. off the security officers remove a heavily pregnant woman without a valid ticket from the way train. very well welcome you watching r.t. international with me making erin now our top story more than a dozen the e.u. states have now recognized one going. the interim president of that is whaler

however is thought in italy's ruling coalition confirms to r.t. that rome vetoed an e.u. wide statement recognizing the opposition leader as head of state kwaito has thanked brussels and a pail to italy. and 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 easily. like 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 though 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 so in fact what we're hearing is that they are the reason it's really is the reason that there is no unified 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 third 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 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 support. 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 i'm a dude 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 donald trump has again confirmed that the use of military force in venezuela is one of the options being considered if we do your own doesn't step down what would make you use the u.s. military in venezuela it's an option to stop it 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 coded we believe variants have the capacity for dialogue understanding why would you want to repeat vietnam. military option has been on the white house agenda for some time last week the u.s. national security advisers notepad caught the eye of reporters on it was written five thousand troops to colombia colombia says the border with venezuela word gas

you have looked at how well actually are known outside 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 leaving his country to democracy is investing in the people that revitalized our position leading the charge to topple the dictator there the man 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 forgotten the whole impartiality thing reuters latin american wing a steeple 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 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 new. 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 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 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 the 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. as mark mentioned u.s. interventions in south america have often led to tragic consequences but in all cases washington has claims to be supporting democracy the united states has a social responsibility to support and nurture democracy and freedom in their

status through. he.

he. a group of progress american states has changed its mind the lost momentum found 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 off to canada's prime minister backed by the canadian foreign ministry emailed sputnik and ria novosti but gave no reason for refusing accreditation venezuela based t.v. network tell us it was also denied access without explanation its correspondent leno did last say who was meant to attend the talks and also was says these moves the possible strategy to prevent non-mainstream voices from being heard. it's not a surprise not for me at least. it is not a zipper that closer for its own has been created to dismantle these demonic

narratives it's a show whether what must media it's a show in 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 that it's against this and against the venezuelan and i mean david this is only exposing the contradictions of this group that they've been clinging for freedom of speech of speech that mark received but they are for cruelty with discounts or are far away from that nevers every single aspect that they are claiming for. after twelve consecutive weekend of yellow vest protests in france president emmanuel mccrone is under attack from his political rivals marie le pen who heads the national running party accuses him of peddling conspiracy theories rather than tackling the crisis head on and only from country music speak when he explains to the last of the yellow vaster 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 l a vast russia the united states everyone except him drew 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 movement's online challenge 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 in the. and thousands were injured but the people kept protesting and 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. the more before they ever. were on the 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 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 thorough tarion the french regime is becoming. he's scared he is a pure creation of the media imma do it and we can see now that the bubble has burst

and that his opinion ratings of 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 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 give evidence of some very well known recent looks like. morals russia today in sputnik were guns 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 on the news outlets across the land this brand new tale the french media hoping he would want small being beloved across the hills and dales but this story is not yet over the book is not yet closed the president remains

that man the people oppose russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman marie is it maria herrera first is the claims from a cron or part of a broader campaign against the russian media which are must we can see a message well planned and courage and 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 ago. 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 who mccrone says has lost the right to lead his country investigative journalist day. lyndall phonies but the french and us governments all guilty of hypocrisy in that as well the united states is promoting one.

you know when we do in minutes well as the real president and the us is backing my pro so there seems to be a. bit of 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 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 midyear of in which case the slow sort of go away over time or whether the military starts to really flipped.

the pentagon has issued a stark warning that i still will resurface very quickly if the u.s. withdraws its troops it is very likely the dices will have the opportunity to set conditions for future research and and territorial control absence of stain 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 knock at the hell out of isis will be coming out of syria like very soon we have just absolutely decimated isis just absolutely obliterated isis in iraq we have one against isis we've beaten them and we've beaten a badly now we've won it's time to come back now it was this report. to 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 rooting 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 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 and folks in the pentagon about what exactly to do about isis and how powerful isis might be a security analyst charles super-rich told us 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 syria a couple of months ago. there was a huge amount to 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. self of course the set got in relation to iraq i did. relation to syria that the reason why the us troops 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 train and pinto to a bench the assistant has raised questions about the treatment of minorities in a country that is often portrayed as soft as a beacon of tolerance. officials say the woman who was taken to hospital by ambulance the alleged victim insisted she had her travel card with her but felt to find it immediately and by the time she pulled it from her pocket the ticket controller 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 adrian told us that the problem of racism should be tackled politically. sure happened to. sue this class woman i don't think so. probably they will treat her in another way people with my space and. i'm in the black community. very very well of course they are much more aggressive as non white people police guards do in racial profile regarding security in sweden. your rights very very slim because you don't have the two. must be really really

thought in different ways swarth to have seen society in this way their remarks on people of. skin the question of structural discrimination racism and student should be political so as to hold because it's a political problem. tile authorities have extended the detention of a bahraini footballer and political refugee came out iran be had been granted asylum in australia but was held this year drive for honeymoon in bangkok activists in leading sports personalities across the world are demanding his release r.t. if they like the he has the story it's not too often that you see sports personalities clubs fans and even high ranking officials unite for a cause but this has been just a case of hockey be

a football player from bahrain currently behind bars in thailand chelsea legend didier drogba liverpool large and robbie fowler spurs legend gary lineker five time olympic champion swimmer in four entire sports federations all jumped in to urge football authorities to save hakim al arabia with first arrested in twenty twelve in bahrain when the country was going through a massive anti-government uprising violently quelled by the gulf states ruling family. he claims he was tortured in prison like thousands of others they spent three hours shooting me hard in my legs while saying it will break your bones will destroy your future you will never play football again with these legs in twenty fourteen he fled bahrain fearing for his life and in twenty seventeen he was granted political asylum in australia where he continued his career until november last year when he went on a honeymoon trip to thailand and was detained right at the airport with authorities pointing to an interpol request to detain him as a fugitive of justice since then he has been locked up in

a bangkok prison with bahrain seeking his extradition back home he is charged with vandalizing a police station and sentenced in absentia to ten years in prison that is despite the london based bahraini dissident group b i r d releasing the live television footage of him playing a football game right at the time of the crimes he is being accused of this may seem as a credible alibi to anyone but here is the problem it may not be enough to vindicate him since he took a swipe not just at political elite of his home country but particularly at shaikh solomon being about a. high ranking member of bahrain's royal family and a man who was one of the front runners for the presidency of fever in twenty sixteen the post which was eventually won by gianni in front back then right in the middle of the campaign other raby accuse the shaikh of being responsible for his arrest and torture sheik soman was responsible for the football players for the national team how can it be that he didn't know anything about it i'm an example of

it and i have evidence the royal denies these allegations but here is the most twisted part of the splot despite losing the bid to rule fief shaikh selman currently holds the position of senior vice president of the association yes the same body which is under massive global pressure to do something about our a.b.c. case and produced the following statement. use of. kingdom to take the necessary steps to ensure that mr ellery be allowed to return safely to australia at the earliest possible moment at this point thai authorities may wish they had not detained al-arabiya given the massive global outcry and something they are not even sure what to do with the man having just extended his detention by another two months so after kamal araby passed his fiftieth day in a bank called jail he and the whole world are waiting to see who shall prevail in this battle sports or politics let's hear it reporting from moscow we

heard from a pro-democracy activist in bahrain he told us the thai and bahraini monarchy has appeared to be unconcerned by international law to talk about. the ruling family which has a strong relationship. with the royal and i think it through the relationship really completely abandoning any international obligation and this is . simply put things completely disregard to any international pressure and abandoning all its international obligations and to proceed. as always to get in touch if you'd like to comment on any of our stories by following us on social media we will be back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines us either.
