opposition leader you can watch the full interview at archie dot com here's a quick preview. let me but at the moment i do not care about my legacy there is one thing i know for sure i will not be remembered as a traitor that it is a weak men who are a nation of peace historical committing acts and betrayed his nation only as a practice in christian rock i pray to god that darnation doesn't have to put armed resistance to u.s. troops in a sort of way there will be no war or military intervention in venezuela but it doesn't mean that we shouldn't get ready to fight for our land use every media outlet to urge the entire world heads of state heads of government or world leaders social movements and the international community to denounce these absurd steps gentle trauma's taking against venezuela silent to stop him threaten us with a military intervention venezuela has not surrendered and never will what's donald

trump sconces belize against venezuela from us what is it do we have w m d s are we a threat to u.s. national security you know what the cost is bally's here then is a well an oil and as well as resources gold natural gas diamonds or water our material wealth and the twenty first century and he's not the time for cannon fire and military threats you know the twenty first century should be a century of dialogue civilized behavior politics the respect for god version peace peaceful coexistence and finding peaceful diplomatic solutions to international conflicts dielike is the most important thing for venezuela it is our motto not only be honorable or while i think it is a diplomatic political and ethical mistake this is good syrup in governments in a bad light because they recognize something that does not exist there is only one government in venezuela one that was elected through a direct vote so you set forth in the constitution. to you i would like to spend my

retired me surrounded by grandchildren and great grandchildren and when i turn ninety i am venezuelan and i will spend my last days. my homeland. john bolton that my compound like i despise and this is the thing that they're american apparently is what was superior they despise other nations lead an american venezuela they despise us their statements are xenophobia but. meanwhile nearly a dozen latin american countries and canada are ramping up pressure on the doro aiming to drive him from power the so-called lima group is throwing in support behind opposition leader and self-proclaimed interim president why don't you however a protest did disrupt the group's latest meeting on monday. relieve a group has called for the suspension of military cooperation with materials government and barred high level then as well and officials from entering their territories canada's foreign minister has urged the local military to get behind

why don't some thing with zero four labeled a six. this statement is disgusting unlawful it is difficult to know whether to laugh or vomit or both when i read it i wanted to b.c. can last similar tediously one request this crazy or then the other on behalf of all the people of venezuela we see yes to dialogue a thousand times dialogue. i mean while russian and a venezuelan media has been banned from attending a meeting of the lima group on the crisis the canadian foreign ministry sent this e-mail to sputnik and ria novosti telling them their credit patient had been refused but gave no reason and the venezuelan t.v. network tell us or was also denied access tell us or a correspondent who was planning to attend the talks in ottawa says coverage of the event is being tightly controlled. 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. against the law and they're claiming. around the world but this time with from respected members every single aspect of their claim for this is only exposing contradictions. all right on monday more than a dozen e.u. states recognized as the interim president at least until new elections are held however a source in italy's ruling coalition confirmed to our t.v. that rome actually vetoed the e.u. why did state mint recognizing the opposition leader as head of state thank brussels but then appealed to italy. and behalf of. those who are hoping for a better life this is see a thing queue for the recognition given by the european bloc where waiting for easily i'm certain that like the rest of europe they will take

a step towards the recognition the international support garnered by garrido who was previously known in global paul unknown rather in global politics can seemingly be attributed to the work of one man as artistically a patrik of comments they've made him the new interim president but 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. what you know if you 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 heard about him was in social media when he declared himself president when were you heard about one where you just recently personally he's the other president of venezuela which honestly think

is a joke. whichever way during the first time i heard about why go it was two years ago . though so you. go i don't on the 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 of toting out of prison immediately this man's political ambitions have ranged 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 loophole the 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 who is now president and all of the members of popular will and members of all the parties the big ones and the little ones he's taking charge of uniting the opposition one by dos 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 decisions are being made by one and the rest of the somebody 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 low prices 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 and 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. france has overwhelmingly passed a controversial anti hooligans law that cracks down on protesters in response to months of yellow vest rallies in the latest demonstration on tuesday yellow vests

marked with striking trade union workers in paris in a protest over the low cost of over the cost of living rather artie's pro dubinsky was there for. it seems like there's been a big turnout for this nationwide and to professional strike called by france is a lawyer just you see she teeth now they hate to protest things such as they want a raise in the minimum salary for the retirement age to be sixty him front they generally against the reforms made by the president not cause government but they've also noted a new thing to the list and not is the fact that they are against this new anti cashiers know this is anti shootings move that it's known as something that's been proved to him by the government in response to the yellow vest protests we've seen walking the country over the last few months now that anticancer is no the answer hooligan though is unpopular because anybody who goes to a protest in covers their face to face up to a year in prison and

a fine of fifteen thousand euros that's because the authorities say that they want to crack down on those people whose destruction and violence are legal advice protests over the last few months and as a result of that they want to be able to identify them but others say if you can use your protests in this tear gas all around you won't have something to cover your face from that's a gas and people here in the process very unhappy with this new rule what to do but i'm against this law because where is the proof that these are real hooligans the government can choose who's a whole again and who is not a couldn't see could this law is against the march this is to stop people rally and to scare people this happens all the time the government scares people and they don't come out to protest seeing the complete gives or to this war against the rioters crazed question is i find it a bit of polling i guess it's a complicated issue will they detain the real writers that's the real question or

will they just pick up any yellow gas who trip for and when they get back to their feed boom the police are taking them down to the stations would you the law is quite tough i assume. it doesn't need to be so strict but the same time it's important to avoid a total crackdown we need to limit the number of disturbances we have the right to protest but without writing we saw scuffles breaking out between the police and the protesters we saw some of the protestors i dig up some of the rocks in the street with robots are taking place and throwing those to which the police at first what we saw in response was just the security forces trying to push back in a bit of a cat and mouse game but later as the protesters as those on strike got here to plaster the concorde we saw the police then responding with tear gas by as you can see tear gas now coming down behind us landing close to us one of the protesters i just gave us this canister this is sort of a canister that the tear gas is kept in as you have to be pushed back as

a result of that tear gas which is now all around us and it's not just protesters here in france who seem to be unhappy about this or this even being criticism from the human rights commissioner for the council of europe who suggested the idea of making it illegal to cover your face in a protest could be degrading civil liberties but the government particularly the interior minister chris of a customer has defended this law saying it's necessary this law is not intended to prevent demonstrations on the contrary it's aims to protect them more than twelve hundred police officers and emergency workers and nearly nineteen hundred yellow vests have been injured since the start of the movement to do nothing is a free pass for some to wreak destruction and teach protest well that law has now been passed by french m.p.'s in the national assembly much to the horror of many

people in france you feel that it will erode civil liberties also criticism that law could erode civil liberties coming from the human rights commissioner for the council of europe for the. people remain out on the streets and there remain unhappy with many of the policies of the government of president michael on. paris there are growing signs of a rift in the u.s. establishment over the military pullout from syria that's right much more natural break this is international. the u.s. in order to guarantee. by the population will engage and stop to tell terry doesn't and that's clearly on the march and the population is ready for it we

know they were those had to say. they're getting ready for their get ready to be controlled. in a world of big partisan lot and conspiracies it's time. 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. 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks.

this is our t. international now the u.s. senate has passed a bill opposing president terms decision to withdraw troops from syria non-binding vote was held after the top u.s. military commander said that the president did not consult him on the pull out because of voto was speaking during testimony to congress. general were you aware of the president's intention to order the withdrawal of our troops from syria before that was publicly announced i was not aware of the of the specific of that the announcement certainly we are aware that he it's an expressed. desire intend in the past to depart the part iraq so i worry that syria weren't consulted before that decision was announced we were not good i was not consulted we have one good study says we've beaten them and we've beaten him badly now we've won it's time to come back trump made that surprise announcement on the syria withdrawal back in december and the president is expected to defend his strategy in the state of the

union speech in just a few hours from now political analyst lou rockwell think senators will oppose any efforts to halt military operations in the middle east it's unfortunate because it shows that the vast majority of the u.s. senate is in favor of the warfare state is in favor of in favor of permanent warfare in the middle east and it's alarming and then we have this general complaining that the president didn't consult him the president doesn't have to consult the general he could actually just on his own pull the u.s. troops out of syria out of afghanistan out of iraq after after you know everywhere but of course he's now said he's going to keep troops in syria to keep an eye on the iranians because they threaten israel i think that's just course nonsense that the believe that he said that at the apac meeting in washington. the democratic congresswoman has been accused of being a russian puppet by a major us news network and b c made the claim that after talks he had launched her

bid for the presidency artie's came up and comments. 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 go bones announcement defended her positions in russia and i sent an attorney to choose a pool for most 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 analysts new knowledge told n.b.c.

news the chatter relates to go beyond in anonymous message boards including those known 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 and 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 any type of won't you know of the tech companies from the social media companies 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 weren't planning 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. believes she is being singled out for her anti-war stance ask 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 nearly 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 the label to put on her in order to potentially derail her campaign they're afraid of her because she is independent she speaks her mind she is very exceptional popular support from her in her own state and she goes against a lot of the i think abolition of concepts that are there and she is someone i think the country needs. the first day of afghan peace talks has ended in moscow as the sides attempt to find a solution to the eighteen year warrantees rif notion has details. tuesday's event into outgoing dollar peace conference he and most could has brought different influential of gani forces and politicians together with the aim of discussing ways to bring the long awaited peace to afghanistan and we can call it

a historic one experts say that today of getting closer to end of the war and the violence and territory than any time before of course no doubt that the key participants of today's event and actually everything that is going on in afghanistan a round of ghana's son is the movement of taliban bend in russia as a terrorist organization that is now according to various sources controlling more land on the ground than deficient government which means this is a force that no one can ignore and everybody should consider their major condition for peace in afghanistan has always been and remains a complete withdrawal of all foreign troops from the territory of ganesan they have come here to moscow after intensive six day talks with the american side and i had a chance to talk about the chief minister of this meeting with the had of the taliban movement political branch mr stein exact let's take a listen we had some progress in the trial in future also we hope that we'll have

more progress and by proceeding the except your vision the word does not mean that it's a privilege condition some of the talks will be pretty good sides from our side and from there sir and indeed we've heard american president trump all during the american troops to leave afghanistan while speaking about the deadline of us mr standing side by the deadline when we can see the foreign troops leaving afghanistan will it happen within days or months or years he has told me that they only hate that it will not take too much time perhaps months interesting that the official kabul is not attending today's peace conference here in moscow mr stein exactly has explained that this is because it is not a legal force the taliban movement has always blame. the government in kabul for violence for aggression against afghanistan and for foreign troops on the ground let's take a listen at the first government to a tree in this meeting they were not supposed to come because we're. going to run

very libertarian. movement of the other one and also the other one communities who are important for government because. according to the north and they got to go in there to be democracy although many see today's peace conference here in moscow as well as are the efforts to bring the long awaited peace to afghanistan as a positive tendency not everybody shares this optimism i have been able to speak to the member of the afghan column and head of women rights human rights and civil side to commission there and she has told me that a vorst majority off she believes all of the afghan society is not ready to go back to the rule of the taliban because this is a very conservative and at the end of the day why the controversial course this is what she has told me i think we have to listen to what the people of afghanistan was because at the end of the day they will do the country that people love that the people of afghanistan don't want to go by the taliban should understand that

and should hear that message we're talking about the power sharing we're not talking about who is ruling we have to go to the people of afghanistan and ask them what they want about the future of the former president of afghanistan hamid karzai is also among those participating in today's peace conference and i had a chance to talk to him as well and i also came whether it is a big problem actually that the official kabul is not participating and he has told me that again they hope that one day they will all gather together and i guess that this may only happen after a little last foreign soldier leaves afghanistan so it's a lot about hopes at this point but as experts say the key the breakthrough moment about these talks is that it is happening. three twenty six and moscow i'll be back with more news you watch there.
