i. i. i i. know. the headlines in our city venezuelan president nicolas maduro to stop donald trump's goal of regime change in an exclusive interview with our sister channel athan spanking. i take advantage of every indication to ask the whole world to denounce him stop the madness of venezuela is never going to give him. also

a change of heart the pentagon now claims islamic state will resurface in the middle east if syria does go against president comes to any of the truth because i had been destroyed. and france. from syria at the request of the pentagon we get reaction on the streets of paris. unfortunately when they are in prison they are able to brainwash other inmates there are many cases of muslims being brought to clients to prison and these people should be tried in the country when they come into trial they decided to leave france to. follow their welcome you're watching r.t. international this afternoon most just gone three pm here in moscow a top story in exclusive interview with the embattled venezuelan president. says he

remains defiant and will not fold to america's desire for regime change pressure is building on nicolas maduro is more countries insist his claim to power is not legitimate he spoke with our sister channel r.t. spanish about the constitutional crisis gripping his country the full interview will be available on our website at r.t. dot com and also on our sister channels and social media pages here's a taste of what he said. i do not care how i'm going to go down in history and i'm not going to be a traitor a weak one like a man who turned his back on his historic commitments to his people. but. i pray to god that our country won't be invaded by the american. that's sort of the way to get money and that was i mean there will be no war in venezuela but no military intervention but this does not mean that we do not prepared to defend our land i'll just say korea. because you know i take advantage of every means of communication

to ask the whole world to denounce and stop the madness of donald trump and this whale is never going to give in because. you want is donald trump's cassis barely not against venezuela the cast especially is the oil of venezuela the riches of venezuela it's gold gas iron diamonds other material riches so you go into it when you are twenty first century is not the time for cannon shots and military warnings know the twenty first century should be one of dialogue civilization politics respect for diversity peace and coexistence a search for diplomatic solutions to global conflicts for venezuela dialogue is most important it is our banner that will go in or out of the cup that i think it is a mistake of diplomatic political and moral character that exposes european states not at their best they've recognized something that doesn't exist in venezuela there is only one government the government elected by the people i mean in

a constitutional way that took an oath to this constitution and will fully execute its g t's and or thirty. meanwhile a group comprised of nearly a dozen latin american nations and canada is ramping up pressure on the door oh they need to drive him from power the so-called lima group is throwing its support behind opposition leader and self-proclaimed interim president. however the group's latest meeting on monday was disrupted by a protest. the lima group has called for the suspension of military cooperation with the duras government bad high level venezuelan officials from entering their territories but canada's foreign minister is also merge the local military to get behind something to do it over labeled a sick joke. this statement is disgusting and laughable it's difficult to know

whether to laugh or vomit or both when i read it i wanted to be sick in love similar cheney asli one request is crazier than the other on behalf of all the people of venezuela we say yes to dialogue a thousand times dialogue. russian in venezuela media have been banned from attending a crunch meeting of the lima group on the crisis we cannot in foreign ministry emailed russian agencies sputnik and ria novosti telling them that their accreditation had been refused but gave no reason and as well and based t.v. network telesur was also denied access without explanation is correspondent helene a daughter who was meant to attend the talks not a word says it's to prevent known mainstream voices from being heard it's not a surprise not for me at least it's not a surprise that they don't like us and they've been trying to balance every single voice that it's against this a narrative against the and they're claiming a great i'm

a speech around the world but is far away from respecting that is every single aspect of their claim for this is only exposing the contradictions of the group. well on monday more than a dozen states recognize the interim president at least until new elections are held however a source in this lease ruling coalition did confirm to r.t. that rome actually vetoed the white statement recognizing the opposition leader as the head of state. brussels but then appealed to italy. and those who are hoping for the best ally this is serious think you for the recognition given by the european long where waiting for italy. the rest of europe they will take a step towards the recognition while the international support garnered by quiet who was previously unknown in global politics can seemingly be attributed to the work of one man is only part i reports they've made him the new interim president

but they haven't learned how to say his name. you know present one go you know one guido ok mr pompei oh my i have issues with spanish so you know. why you don't know it's probably not about the language it's just that a little while ago very few people knew who. was even an ms well. i had never heard that name before the first time i had about him was in social media when he declared himself president one way or the barge one where you just recently supposedly he's the other president of venezuela which honestly think is a joke. whichever way during the first time i heard about why go two years ago. i don't own this short while ago and when this political situation started a little bit for those abroad who loathes nicolas maduro there's an easier last

name to say lope is if you've never heard of low poll the low because some very important people will definitely have. venezuela should allow lippold alone a political prisoner and husband toting out of prison immediately this man's political ambitions have arranged for a mayor of caracas to the president's office his wife has made friends with world leaders as if she was part of let's say the g. twenty herself so why do we keep on hearing we've recognized why and why go as the new president instead of we've recognized hold a low because first of all he's now under house arrest after being in all kinds of trouble with law enforcement but even his wife says that doesn't stop him from pulling the strings at home he works with all of the opposition everyone he speaks with her on going don't know who is not president and all of the members of popular will and members of all the parties the big ones and the little ones he's taken

charge of uniting the opposition why dose says they're always in contact and always see eye to eye while even the american media is hinting mr why don't you could just be a pawn in someone else's hand according to the opposition party though he makes his own decisions your polo has been imprisoned for almost five years now so communication with him it's very difficult we have to stick with him so he's funny so i mean basically. gives ideas the decisions are being made by one and the rest of the. perhaps for those who are trying to overthrow a government because of how authoritarian and corrupt it is admitting the whole show is being run by someone who could be a full on state department puppet is kind of dodgy we can leaks has spilled the beans on exchanges between us diplomats with step by step descriptions of how

leopoldo lopez should rise to power by the way speaking of scandals lopez's wife was all over the news when a mountain of local cash worth sixty thousand bucks was found in her car. this money is to pay for my grandma who is hundred years old and has been hospitalized three days she has no insurance in a country where it takes a suitcase full of all of our bills to buy a coffee no one out there protesting in the street has that kind of money so maybe someone like why and why do so without the awkward baggage is an easier sell. philip are trying to they're now the pentagon has issued a stark warning that i still will quickly resurface in syria if the u.s. goes ahead with its plan to withdraw its troops it is very likely that isis will have the opportunity to set conditions for a future resurgence and territorial control we have just absolutely decimated isis absolutely obliterated isis the have won against isis absent sustained counter

terrorism pressure isis could likely resurgent syria within six to twelve months well currently the us has around two thousand ground troops in syria they do provide tactical support for kurdish forces in the north of the country washington's involvement started back in twenty her fourteen as it launched its terror operations the country became a war zone around eight years ago right now syria has recaptured large areas of its territory controlled by government forces and backed too by russia and also iran but while president trump claims the deisel has been defeated in the country terrorist hell pockets do remain in the east close to a pair of u.s. bases from supplants a pullout heuer soldiers was met by criticism not only within washington but by his only administration to with advisors contradicting each other on the speed of any but through all however the president has claimed that american troops could return whenever necessary. you could in that vacuum see a resurgence of ice and see

a resurgence you know where we're doing 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 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. but in trump himself of course a set got in relation to iraq and in relation to syria that the reason why the u.s. 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 the pentagon also with its own motives they would like to stay they tend to like to stay in the country in conflicts. you know ad nauseum you know until the

cows come home as we see in afghanistan i think it's mopar that they don't know they don't want to follow the president's order to get out and i think they're trying to justify it and build up pressure in the media to keep the troops there i mean while washington is the foreign fighters held in syria to be repatriated is what the pentagon had to say on that. the united states calls upon other nations to repatriate and prosecute their citizens detained by the s.d.f. and commend the continued efforts of the s.d.f. to return these foreign terrorist fighters to their countries of origin or france is one country that is confirmed to is preparing to allow jihadists to return in the coming months is hope that they can be rehabilitated and it's believed the move would prevent fighters from escaping to other parts of the middle east if the u.s. pulls its troops from syria but some in france do say it is a very worrying development to charlotte dubinsky expects. as false prepares for

the return of jihad ists captured in northern syria there has been outreach suggests and just saw this people who went to fight for their enemy they're traitors to the nation they fought against us and our civilization their terrorist barbarians their enemies of france. need to consider the return of the french jihadists is a decision that i find criminal regard to the safety of our citizens the announcement a u. turn in policy was sparked by the u.s. is surprise decision to pull troops out of syria and concerns that french prisoners could be released from kurdish jails or scape as a result have forced the government to make hasty contingency plans the justice minister says france would rather keep track of them rather than see them evading justice. we've made a choice which is that we prefer control which means with bad food in them to france french hardest were amongst the biggest contingent of i saw recruits from

europe but i saw cells were responsible for the paris attacks in two thousand and fifteen. the idea that a hundred and thirty could not be were perpetrated isn't going down well in the capital surface of it that's frightening but we need to be strong and the government needs to protect people on the hardest he'd french. this is very bad it's absolutely clear that among the people who could commit terrorist attacks here says these people should be tried in the country where they come in to try and they decided to leave france to new practices and ideas and they're against france another area that's worrying some is just how the country will cope with an influx of new joe hardest already france is struggling to deal with the fossils of individuals currently under surveillance by the intelligence services some of those on the list have gone on to carry out attacks in. kidding sure he should catch who

killed five people and wounded eleven in less than two months ago in strasburg there's also concern that if they end up in prison they could compound the problem of radicalization behind bars. it can create a problem a problem of radicalization so maybe it's better for them to serve their sentences there so as not to make the situation here lors. we need to take things seriously and convince them that violence is not the solution mentos most. fortunately when they are in prison they are able to brainwash other inmates so perhaps we should be protecting prisoners from them yet. there are many cases of muslims being brother clients to prison the french government says it needs to be prepared for all of. it comes to an american withdrawal from syria but with prisons already hosing hundreds

of suspected terrorists and radicalization by still a huge problem the idea of packing more is causing concern that france could be about to pick up a new ticking time bomb. auti paris we're going to take a quick break now but we'll be back with more stories for you in a couple of minutes. what holds a change to a little. bit put themselves on the lawn. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something want to. go to the right to be close to see what it looks like the three of them all can't be good but. i'm interested always in the waters of the gulf.

some seem wrong when old roles just don't all. get to shape out this day comes to educate and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground the. again america's n.b.c. network has claimed a democrat he's planning to run in the next presidential race is a russian agent story and sham linked. to the kremlin and labeled

a puppet on. reports so n.b.c. has gone out of its way to inform us americans that we should disapprove of congresswoman tulsi gabbert answer twenty twenty presidential campaign why because it is backed by a vile kremlin conspiracy so what's the proof well they've got their evidence in order among other things one of their claims is brace yourself but apparently sputnik news and r.t. published articles about her site celebrated government's announcement defended her positions in russia and i sent and at times those who suggested she is a pulling from moscow now r.t.m. sputnik have written about all sorts of different candidates but that's beside the point the fact that candidate who favors a non interventionist foreign policy was mentioned by news outlets from russia is considered to be a huge smoking gun but it gets worse she was mentioned on some obscure forums analyst's new knowledge told n.b.c. news the chatter relates to cabot in anonymous message boards including news nine

to right wing troll campaigns a hot new knowledge you remember them don't you that's the cyber security firm that was caught running a false flag campaign in alabama election they were running operations to make it look as if russian bots were supporting a candidate they did not like now n.b.c. failed to mention that in their exposé but they do have one more source meet mr josh russell he lives in indiana and on his free time he uses the internet to hunt down. russian trolls i'm just a regular person and i don't have any relationship with. the company through social media company but n.b.c. says that we should believe him and this isn't the first time mainstream media has played this card remember when they were widely alleging that black lives matter was a russian asset at least one of the ads that was bought by this russian troll farm on facebook was

a black live matter ad they are still going after jill stein the green party presidential candidate they show you were glad they're with us cable which is part of what is raising questions among investigators and don't forget that bernie sanders is also a pawn they used automated social media box and what appeared to be paid operatives in russia and other countries specifically to target burning supporters so the message is pretty simple someone questioning the status quo thinking outside the box opposing the u.s. foreign policy well if that's the case don't listen to them it's just a voice from russia to confuse you and get you to not believe in our great american leaders don't think obey. r.t. new york. does say that she's been single that was stuns. asked commander in chief i will work to end the new cold war nuclear arms race and slide into nuclear war that is why the neo con the only warmongers will do anything

to stop me i think most people are tired of the russian side and most people don't buy into it anyhow but yeah they're using their label to put on her in order to potentially do you rail her campaign they're afraid of her because she is independent she speaks her mind she has very exceptional popular support from her in her own state and she goes against a lot of the abolition of concepts that are there and she is someone i think the country needs well the road to the white house in the twenty twenty election has begun not just for. the candidates to and among the usual run isn't right is there is one surprising face that of billionaire howard shelves the former c.e.o. of the coffee giant starbucks and though he hasn't officially entered the race just yet he is causing quite a stir in the media. had

a successful wealthy billionaire businessman as president you're kind of the same thing right i don't think i want another businessman he's another billionaire one of us should go to starbucks until he announces he's not running. i've also been criticized for being a billionaire i'm self-made i thought that was the american dream. so you're an interesting democrat a liar an interesting voice that like some of the stuff that's apparently i think you're trying to do a great. great resume supersmart there are a lot of experience dedicated public servant good guys. now

have a nice at least ten people have been killed including a baby after a fire ripped through a residential building in an upmarket suburb of paris french authorities say they are investigating monday night's incidences a possible arson attack and have detained a female suspect a five hour operation involving around two hundred fifty firefighters look to help the blaze as residents could be seen by me out of wind becoming trapped on the rooftop rescue services say the death toll could still rise to more could be one of the most deadly fires in the french capital in. an assassination guide targeting members of the alternative for germany party he's appeared on a platform linked to far left extremist it appears to include step by step
