10:02 am
. well this marks a new low in the already rocky relations between france and italy two countries that should be allies the members of the european union and some have described this latest move by france has being unprecedented i believe it's the first time that france has recalled its ambassador from rome since the second world war when the two countries who are actually at war with each other well this move comes after one of italy's deputy prime ministers luigi demaio was seen photographed with yellow vests protest is he in france describing the movement on twitter as saying that the winds of change were coming across the alps where the french foreign ministry has hit out at that describing the verbal attacks from italy and saying that those propagations are just too much this is the statement that they
10:03 am
were in east the most recent interferences constituted additional and an acceptable provocation they violated the respect that is owed to democratic choices made by nation which is the front and then they violate the respect the democratically and freely elected governments each other and his coat deputy prime minister within the italian government has also been one to hit out france and particular president macron recently offering his support to also the yellow vests movement you know i mean i side with the millions of frenchmen who are complaining about a president who is harming the french people i condemn any acts of hooliganism and violence without exception system into. a minister of the european affairs here in france retorted with this france refrains from giving lessons to the telly salvina and to milan should learn to sweep their own doorstep. well the two countries have
10:04 am
been out to show those troops for some time more recently finding themselves on opposing sides of an international crisis that's happening in venezuela with france amongst a number of e.u. countries deciding that they will full through their full weight behind the national assembly has declared himself into a president that's what we do meanwhile it's really decided it would reject that and has remained supporting the democratically elected president during for the moment it seems that these relations between france and italy two countries who are neighbors two countries who are part of the movie when the two countries who should be strong allies is getting worse and worse. for its part italy's interior ministry insists that it doesn't want to argue with france it's not anything spotnitz causing russians between fellow he and the ongoing developments in venezuela have divided nations into two camps according to former belgian
10:05 am
parliament and you speak a lot of analyst. do you do you still as a policy that does not lead but let us follow and basically it follows the lead of the united states even great number of your e.u. states who more or less agree without taking the steps recognizing one great goal as president and then there are all those who do take a stand like italy now the divide within the european union on foreign policy issues is not exactly new so this is as such not aggressive them but the fact is that what is happening now is that the strong i can go along that way countries. they decide on the united states. by this whalen's are queuing up in caracas to sign
10:06 am
a petition in support of their embattled president nicolas maduro they're calling on the u.s. to stop interfering in their country's affairs yep and that it will reportedly be circulated around venezuela with the president to open to get ten million signatures he then intends to send it to the white house in washington here's what some of the people who gathered in caracas told us. we were avoiding a war they don't want to stop what we can do. but all of this is horrible they want to seize the richest of the entire planet this is worldwide the oligarchs. not the. only don't. want to see their interests. separately the venezuelan government claimed it intercepted and arms shipment from the u.s. on wednesday interior ministry says that the hall included rifles ammunition and
10:07 am
communications equipment is claimed they were flown in from miami the authorities say the bust was part of a broader crackdown on organized crime this comes as the u.s. national security adviser john bolton announced the possible lifting of sanctions for senior military personnel in fairness while who are willing to defect. to friends and diplomacy academic dr rose. such a move has dangerous implications. i think it's a game of carrots and sticks with win win you know the trump administration and all that spokesperson thought about all the offers on the table yet seem to point to this sort of military intervention in seoul it's very very. complex and complicated way of of presenting options on the table and yes it has very negative implications as you probably have seen in the last weeks. you know the call for five thousand troops on the ground and the repercussions of that house and
10:08 am
the response from the dream to this sort of note from john bolton. you know complicates and leads to seeing these offers of. negative incentives or bribery the venezuelan military has also barricaded a bridge on the colombian border to block the delivery of humanitarian aid to shipping containers and a tanker truck have been placed along the highway a convoy of aid donated by the u.s. is currently on its way from called into the colombian government venezuelan opposition leader who says that the supplies will test the military's law t. to the government but president maduro has rejected the aides saying the people of venezuela and not bankers and such shipments would be used to justify a foreign military intervention the red cross is stepping up its own aid efforts in venezuela doubling its budget for the country but the group says its policy of neutrality means it cannot take part in the u.s. aid deliveries via colombia. according to the fundamental principles of
10:09 am
impartiality neutrality and independence the i.c.r.c. cannot take part in the initiatives to hand over assistance for venezuela from colombia. tomorrow santander again says there's one clear driving force behind the crisis. it's a very important economic interest that is pushing all the sides to you know have a say and two percent different options on venezuela the united states which knows you know the importance of venezuela an oil and is moving with the support of colombia and brazil to to you know have more dominant be more of an influential player in the region but also the fact that venezuela has made a lot of promises and relationships economically and commercially with countries like russia and china so i think or oil becomes sort of a contest station between the two sides for you know the future transitional been
10:10 am
and so it is a key driver of many of the interests initially. left out of pocket is the claim by the u.s. president on i suppose fate in syria and iraq saying its remaining territories that will be recaptured by next week made the statement at a major counterterrorism conference in washington d.c. on wednesday it should be formally announced some time probably next week that we will have. one hundred percent of the caliphate. but i want to wait for the official word and i want to see it too early. earlier i discussed america's recent policy in syria with our correspondent in a change. the main question the conference was whether the american president will say something new whether the seventy nine members of the u.s. led. coalition would hear something special perhaps ground breaking from donald
10:11 am
trump well his main message was that islamic state now holds a tiny percentage of all the land it used to call their caliphate nothing groundbreaking here because previously we heard pretty much identical stuff from him become another syria like very soon we have just absolutely decimated isis just absolutely obliterated isis in iraq we have one good study says we've beaten them and we've beaten him badly very optimistic mr trump very proud mr trump proud of how he's dealt with islamic state however things may no longer be going as smooth earlier this week in fact just a couple of days ago a new pentagon report came out and guess what it says in that report. could be in the process of regrouping and the main conclusion of the report is that in just six
10:12 am
months the militants could regain the strength that they used to have there in terms of the u.s. in syria and we've seen a lot of to ing and fro ing and you know saying that they're going to withdraw and not gonna throw in less of a quick listen to what was said before i'm going to. now we've won it's time to come back. because we remain on the ground after the physical defeat of the caliphate until we have the pieces in place to ensure that the defeat is under. the knock of the hell out of isis will become another syria like very soon. to u.s. officials tend to be seen as the president reluctantly agreed to keep true. syria. we are there until the isis territorial caliphate is removed this conference and we have any further developments on what the u.s. had decided to do you know what no one can still say for sure what's going on with this pullout the conference didn't help another important participant of the event
10:13 am
was u.s. secretary of state mike and we thought that he could have shed some light on the american plans in this case instead he made a rather vague comments he reassured his coalition partners that america will quote unquote continue to wage alongside them and also he said that the u.s. army was only in the middle of some sort of tactical change besides that the problem is you was generals have said the mission is not over and that they need to keep going let's not forget that iran is still being quite active in syria so this could be the reason why washington is hesitant apart from anything else well just before the conference u.s. secretary of state mike was talking about the same old story whisks from islamic state and russia these two are being named together and if the americans are perceiving moscow as
10:14 am
a threat and the region perhaps again that explains why they are having second thoughts about pulling out a political analyst explain the possible reasons for america's mixed messages on syria. there are three things that i can say about that one that if the pentagon has such strong intelligence about isis and it can tell you exactly that in six months it can regroup and restart how come it didn't have that intelligence in the first place when i started in the first place if they had this they could have stopped it from the beginning so if they have such strong that they're supposed to sent this strong intel to the president and tell him that no it is not yet eradicate and it will take more than a week to eradicate and destroy isis i think that makes sense in a general reasonable way the second point is that this contradiction shows that there is no plan and there doesn't seem to be a strategy a clear strategy of the american administration and there are some people in the pentagon who are really annoyed by apparently by the white house stepping in with no experience no knowledge of what's going on in the field and the third thing and
10:15 am
that is a very interesting thing that the fact that the americans and the pentagon keeps insisting that isis is there is because it justifies the american involvement in this part of the world the war against terror is a justification for the american presence and american involvement in the affairs of the countries of the region under the pretext that it's fighting terrorism. while syria's brutal eight year conflict is gradually drawing to a close for many the trauma will last a lifetime has been a taking a closer look at the children who spend their early years in areas controlled by extremist fighters the film premieres here on friday here's a quick look. at even the hospital has issued a. little. clip just in time to. you

10:18 am
of a new sound a report which claims the humanitarian group was partly to blame for the bombing. one of its own hospitals in yemen in june the organization says the side led coalition is attempting to avoid taking full responsibility for the air strike according to the disputed report am s.f. as the group is also and had failed to inform the coalition that its cholera treatment center was a medical facility at therefore claims that the building was considered at the time to be a legitimate military target m.s.f. however says it had notified the side led coalition about the new field hospital at least twelve times and had its am displayed on the roof riyadh has since called the bombing an unintended era.
10:19 am
m.s.f. is now demanding a new investigation and that the allegations against it be dropped rights activists are flounders told us that last rights on hospitals are totally unlawful. under international humanitarian law medical facilities are protected may not be targeted under any circumstances and it is responsibility of those carrying out the attack and not to the facility itself so even that argument is a hunt argue it's a complete fraud of course the bombing was carried out by saudi arabia and the quadroons had been given again and again as. since infante are explained. and this is a time. such a medical facility of medicine simpering terror facility being bombed in three years' time so on every front it is an outrageous outrageous crime

10:22 am
a look into the eyes of barbarism the past it claims the decision was made under pressure from quote the jewish community. the vicar called me on behalf of cardinal authority to tell me that the screening of the documentary had to be suspended and that there had been a lot of pressure from the jewish community. the film won spain's prestigious award down to document the lives of. occupied gaza as they struggle and to israel's crippling blockade as director came to us he has also faced pressure from supporters of israel. israel uses its jewish organizations which tried to censor a film tried to do it at various festivals and sometimes they succeeded even when the film was already on the shortlist we received many threats. in the middle seat to make the. when to make the book i will be everything to make

the. money we cannot. just give you no use getting rich. if you have money and we don't come on in. the money we can. we started planning to make this the last israeli only invasion when lots of people in gaza were killed at the moment of your mom follow. your lead although you know if you go that you feel the holiday and only of us of it i'm also a biology professor and we used to get in we got permission to research agriculture in gaza that's how we got there but that wasn't easy at all. and here's a community in the treadmill al franken thank church for suspending the showing of
10:24 am
the film about life in gaza it also alleges that the documentary is one sided and has said it will launch an appeal with the clear film festival the director however claims he frequently encounters this sort of response and says it's part of campaign to whitewash israel's actions you're going to nothing at that the thing is that there's a total legitimization of israel's actions and israeli apartheid international career. not entirely but most of it especially in europe and the us see this situation as legitimate which we think is totally unacceptable we do it in different through political recognition for example israel as a close. we did get in touch with the office of the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu but in few to comment on the censorship claims. now the dispute over a major energy pipeline project is threatening to drive a wedge between europe's two powerhouses germany and france stream two would see
10:25 am
russian gas pumped into europe through the baltic sea but france is apparently making moves to block the project live now to our correspondent in europe peter all of peter you've been across the story what's france during which might put the brakes on this project. right well this could well be an eleventh hour turnabout from france which would side with changing what's known as the e.u. gas directive these changes are set to be voted on on friday now this news has all come out following a report in the german newspaper sooted deutsche is item the reason that they're focusing on it is that this turnabout from paris could well target the north stream to pipeline project the paper quotes an unnamed source in the french government saying we don't want to increase dependency on russia while damaging the interests of e.u. nations like poland and slovakia the vote on making changes to the gas directive
10:26 am
are set for friday germany is firmly against these changes the reasons will become clear in the moment this e.u. law that they wanted to change would essentially give brussels and in particular the e.u. commission a lot more sway over projects like north stream too including things like separating the the actual gas pipeline from the gas that's sold from that pipeline also allowing third parties access to the pipeline it would be allowed to do this because north stream too would be financed as a third party energy project gazprom the russian gas giant is financing the whole project their financing the main part of the project anyway we had thought heading into friday's vote that germany along with france the netherlands belgium austria greece and cyprus would all vote against changes to the gas directive however the fact that that might not go through becomes a lot more shaky when you safe see france may be about to make a u.
10:27 am
turn there and vote in favor of it be looking to see if any other nations follow suit north stream to the projects well it's supposed to send fifty five billion cubic meters of gas from russia into europe through germany. it's set to make a lot of german companies and the german government quite wealthy indeed said i'll make a lot of money for them but also for all the gas and energy giants in europe pay is like shell are involved countries around the e.u. austria love the project there are others that are on site however poland and the baltic states they aren't too keen they say at least the e.u. far due to far too dependent on russia for its energy also the fact that this pipeline would go straight from russia into germany that that circumvents and cuts out some of the cranes role in a transit in the transit role of getting gas from russia into europe also against
10:28 am
this deal there are the united states washington salut lee hates it they want the united they want the european union i beg your pardon to buy u.s. liquid natural gas which actually comes in a lot more expensive than piping it from russia u.s. ambassador to berlin richard grinnell well he's actually warned german companies that they could face sanctions if they get involved in the north stream two project in fact mr clinton alabaster could i beg your pardon along with the ambassadors to denmark and the european union from the united states of written a letter saying why they're firmly against north stream to. the use dependence on russian gas harbors risks for europe and the west as a whole and puts a soul in the precarious position nordstrom too will do even more than just russian gas russia smites him influence will spread all the way to europe an important
10:29 am
project but there may be a stumbling block that we didn't expect to see along the way they'll be voting on friday on whether those changes to the e.u. gas directive will be passed or whether it is germany really russia or if they want this project to get off the ground want they'll be blocked. have to wait and see r.t. europe correspondent peter oliver thanks for giving us an update on the. news round up for now they back around thirty minutes with more but do stay with us now for the kaiser report. or this is the report we are in for a good mexico at the big city as you round table and meeting up with the times of the industry reporting to you the trends that will shape our world in the twenty first century is that to ground or seem to start off with now it's
10:30 am
a perfect theme to start off with and in fact just as a warning there could be monkeys that climb in here keeping a hold of my laptop here so they don't come and no money in the business. figure monkey business you know there's quite a lot of monkey business in the whole money system and we're seeing the beginning of the disintegration of that as you and i have been reporting a report for oh about ten years now every ten years in september and here is a headline that we saw coming ten years ago and it's remarkable max central banks are on the biggest gold buying spree and half a century central banks bought more bullion last year than any time since the one nine hundred seventy one when the u.s. ended the gold standard governments added six hundred fifty one point five tons of gold to their coffers and twenty eighteen as seventy four percent increase from the previous year according to a report from the world gold council.
