i think. i. violence erupts on the streets of france as yellow vests protesting for a thirteen consecutive weekend to condemn the policies of the government. with venezuela's humanitarian crisis worsening the country's opposition leader says he's not ruled out calling for u.s.

military intervention over the overthrow present. and syria's devastating eight year long conflict begins drawing to a close a new altie documentary looks at the trauma suffered by the country's children. the week here on international that mean a day or two to as all round up of the top stories from the last seven days and the latest headlines welcome to the program france has been rocked by a thirteenth consecutive weekend of yet of us protests with these clashes breaking out between demonstrators and police in the capital one person the hard part of the hand blown off by a crowd control grenade i think your agency but be kept at the images after the.

aftermath and a warning here that you might find the following that you distressing. i. was. was. was was due to the national assembly and people were trying to force their way in the police arrived and threw grenades one hit the guy's leg who tried to push it away with his hands as a reflex reaction and the grenade went off yes rallies began in november of rising living costs and quickly morphed into a broader anti-government protests campaign according to the authorities over fifty thousand people demonstrated across the country on saturday four thousand of them in paris here's how events unfolded in the french capital.

are demanding remain in place that's why we are marching we're demanding better salaries and conditions and france will want to go ahead because we don't want to be subject to government decisions without having a say we have one group the leet of them who decide whether we have the right to not see what we have to pay for this it our message is the same of this harsh we want a better life so what has the government done to try and stem these protests well president michael gave a big speech back in december where he announced that the minimum wage the civic would rise by a hundred jews a month he also said that people in the business experience to be the test cases for to be sure it's not a tax and people over time will be in a similar situation in a time. no social country she's on that and the government is in the middle of

a national debate across france getting people together to share their concerns to talk about the things that matter to them so the government can decide whether to make changes that people say or not however this illegals have said this isn't enough for many well that the authors of the concessions being given by present not gone with too little too late and that's why they've kept coming out to the streets and now we're hearing that the protest is a going to change tactics permanently the government is becoming more and more repressive we denounce the extreme violence and the use of excessive force the authorities not seeking compromise but passing laws that limit our rights so we have collectively decided not to declare the time and place of demonstrations and powers from now on. the partners in crime with the government there was the mention there of a law to limit right so what these relations are referring that series what's known as the anti hooligan or it was just cussed recently by deputies the m.p.'s in the

lower house in the national assembly and they've approved that not that lou it's going to move on to the senate before it goes on statute books but that law would essentially limit some of the individuals from going to protest if they deem to be a public threat also part of the rule is the idea that if you cover your face going to produce even with the simple scars you could be liable to not. only find fifteen thousand euros so many people claiming that this new law which is set to pass in the next few weeks here in france is actually contra against their civil liberties. tensions have been continuing to rise in venezuela this week as the struggle for power there threatens to unleash chaos on friday and the leader of the country's opposition told us he's not ruled out calling for a u.s. military intervention against president nicolas maduro government. that imo bill we

would do everything possible once again this is obviously a very very controversial subject making use of our sovereignty and within our jurisdiction we will do what's necessary on tuesday the venezuelan government claimed it had intercepted an arms shipment flown in from miami according to the interior ministry the stash included assault weapons ammunition and communications equipment security officials allege the arms were intended for criminal and terrorist groups financed by the us. his wife facing immense pressure to step down by this way as president he will resist washington's push for change and you can watch our exclusive interview with nicholas on the dot com. there will be no war or military intervention he then is well out of it 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 the absurd steps donald trump is taking against venezuela and to stop him threaten us with a military intervention and venezuela has not surrendered and never will what's donald trump sconces belize against venezuela 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 belize here then is a well an oil that is well is resources gold natural gas diamonds or water are material wealth the twenty first century 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 respect for diversity peace peaceful coexistence and finding peaceful diplomatic solutions to international conflicts dialogue is the most important thing for venezuela it is our motto. interest challenge for power until recently was almost an unknown figure but he's

now enjoying widespread support from the international community trying to. rise to prominence may have been aided by some powerful allies. 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 in 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 do just recently supposedly he's the other president of venezuela which honestly think is a joke. which everywhere you go in the first time i heard about why go it was two

years ago. so you. go 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 low because if you've never heard of low poll the lopez 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 ongoing 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 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 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 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 why do without the awkward baggage is an easier sell. during his highly anticipated state of the union address on tuesday donald trump outlined some of the threats he believes america's facing among them illegal immigration terrorism and socialism and with income inequality continuing to grow

and us left wing ideas do seem to be on the wii and kenneth maupin explains that those who watch donald trump state of the union address would have a hard time missing one particular moment the topic of socialism america will never be a socialist country. a t. not mild words at all and it's not the first time the trump has raised the specter of socialism all nations of the world should resist socialism. and the misery that it brings us to everyone. but the socialists they say that he was just afraid of their rising popularity i thought it was fabulous because it shows that we've gotten under his skin and he has no vision for this country everything is about what he doesn't want everything is about the boogie man and they've got a point after all bernie sanders is one of the most popular politicians in the

country but. it's not only republicans that are fearing the rise of socialism you've also got the establishment in the blue corner concerned as now at this point a majority of democrats say that socialism is the way forward for america where we can say one of the things that ensure is that democratic socialism is the said in the party party right now. and that is unity perhaps but. i do accept any characterization that the party presented by the republicans trump media going as far as printing guidelines on how to inoculate your children against the rising ideological danger.

so we decided to go out to the district here in new york that elected alexandria a kazuo cortez the rising star of democratic socialism and we decided to see how people here feel about the ideology that went pretty far in defining the twentieth century and why do you think people here voted for her. devoted to her because she was pretty devoted verbiage as good as men to do i think they also voted for because of the change from the guy that was in it before who's very much like didn't bid a lot of people for the short of being anything. to veer away from what trump is doing i had to go through people feel more confident about what's going on you know trump recently said the usa will never be a socialist country do you agree with him. i guess so yeah i think he's right. i don't see that happening in states being great now we know anything that comes out

of his mouth is the complete opposite he's from brazil or world so if he says america will never be so it was going through i feel very good nor going to miracle will become a socialist country are you afraid of socialism. will. to some extent year i don't think it will be appropriate for this country allow don't know too much bought it so i don't know if i can be afraid of it no no we also got a chance to speak with journalist dan was there dan can you tell me is socialism no longer a dirty word in american politics well it's a dirty word still in certain quarters but it's more acceptable now in other quarters and it was a few years ago now as to bernie sanders and. alexandria ocasio cortez now do you think it is possible that bernie sanders might run against trump there saying he's the most likely to be trump is it possible that we could get a trump versus sanders ticket in the upcoming election i think it's very possible i don't watch for that predictions but i think it's very possible yes and is that something the democratic party leadership is afraid of the thing they're at they're terrified of that i think that if that happens every democratic politician in the

country would running for cover. as a member of sanders is not a democrat just as trump is not really a republican so we'll have to have a non democrat versus non republican and everyone in between just just hiding their head in the sand and try to forget your what's going on for a long time it seemed like the s word was almost profanity and we see the establishment trying to stoke up the same old fears once again however it seems like in twenty nineteen socialism is back on the table for debate came up and r.t. new york we'll be back with more after this show break. lead. to. you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up

to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart 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. who watch of us as revolution is screeching to a halt inflation and unemployment cause millions to leave venezuela world powers a lot over whether president maduro should stay but the real question is how should the country move on from its current crisis.

welcome back to the program while syria's brutal conflict has to be gradually drawing to a close for many the sculls will last a lifetime and need to document she looks at the trauma suffered by children who spend that early years in areas the country controlled by extremists find the howling stories and you can find the full version on our website. as you read about and you can not about all of them ok. and.

as i don't want to write anything i can implement a new name about it i have. a lot on never having to listen later. what i said appears as a system must execute on the hostages not for. just a minute. or musket but in the ocean a little bit in my head and then out of state in the middle i didn't see out how the value of value in. the company. was on my actual foot in the video but. that i'm not able to. channel the sun on the sand or general antonio nervous when i don't eat i want real baba and i want their own father but all the traditional hundred nine am trying to enforce them soft on the facade of. i will say short.

shorts are there comes to show. chauffeur does even genesee and falun gong montanna. i adore you the war news of the war i want to smile swore the other get annoyed enough fast what news you know how to. murphy. a performance art piece currently showing at a gallery in washington d.c. has provoked an angry reaction from president trump's family have labelled it is sexist it's called ivanka vacuuming and runs for two hours every evening at the flashpoint gallery it features

a model dressed up to look like the president's daughter pushing a vacuum cleaner back and forth across a pink carpet nearby is a pile of breadcrumbs visitors are invited to throw them onto the carpet so if i could double and clean them up here's what people thought of the piece. how to respond testing i love being able to throw basically garbage on the floor and i want to thank you you know we're trying to figure out why there's no. we thought. maybe that's why did you feel really guilty. for the war. or. for the war she was working on. disturbs me more to throw it as a woman way so fifty's kind of i have more of a very specific level. it's like high heels and back to school. and so it's a cliché but it's. just before

a bank has stepped into her role at the white house she cultivated her image as a businesswoman and a working mother she's responded to the art exhibit by saying that while some women prefer to knock each other down she believes they should be supporting each other the gallery says the piece is a visual celebration of a contemporary from an icon and encourages people to question their relationship with her we were joined by two commentators to discuss how appropriate the performances. i think a lot of americans see this as very very political i mean that they're entitled to their opinion and i think everybody needs a voice. but the one good thing i have to say is i think our stimulates conversation and it stimulates to it stimulates debate what i find interesting is that the artist made this very ambiguous seems that the trump derangement syndrome has gone overboard and certainly if they had done this with michelle obama i'd like to see the art communities and the left's reaction to them putting michelle obama

for example with a vacuum cleaner hand vacuuming crumbs i don't think it would have gone over quite as well with the regressive left but they love you were used to the hypocrisy on that side of the aisle so anyone i would say who want to cut evocate down is doing it most likely because they're jealous and i can see why because it is an incredibly successful talent to be capable competent american woman i mean i think it's acceptable because first of all evolve in anybody in the trumpet is the administration is a public persona so i think once you once you have that sort of platform and you are a public persona and you actually are also a government official anything anything goes i mean you know anybody can. say whatever they want to about chew and i think art is a really good way. to stimulate ideas so i think everybody sort of fair game in this here is a situation where you know to me that piece looks like. she's like this one nine hundred fifty s. housewife with no voice no will i think has done

a masterful job of complimenting her father's very pro woman administration again lending women opportunities they've never had in the history day are successful more women today are employed more women today own companies under the trumpet ministration because of the regulations. and bray will take over in around thirty minutes time with more updates but next is gone so a new show by max keiser and stacy herbert on r.t. international. law.

ah. just. for. action and in no way getting it i want. there's a number of machines i do not. want a way out all of them ok if that. was not going to match the area it would like to about today i believe lastly i could watch that a little more than

a bit. about that having. people. give the new nightly. slot our d. a so when i saw. a need behold. why demand not what i would not hear was. just me just an honest one. this is a stick from a water bottle phone in the stomach of a fish the brand is part of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad was there the litter bugs are trying this way industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic.

and may let. their plastic. tank on your own sat. on the. t.v. but for now the mountains of waste only grow higher. she'll be a v.m. . philip have been miles from. that date with. the counselor's a placenta. they. were started in my life who speculate him to me or the now with jamie as well one called the only. now at the five the. hell are you i've known him for that matter. see

let him to make the boy or me or the of the marrow have been closer gave up because of me it's because he is so see you so when i when i lose. my taste god. nihilistic. that's why i'm thinking and they've got to hit the road and get out of the child with the prosperity to find what makes america take the charlatan the genius of american hero this is it we found the point around which hollywood is going to say we're starting last with is we're going to head east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the big i think i'm going to leave now don't forget him oregon's over here maybe completely different end of this journey .

aren't going. chase you seriously well we're no. thanks you know recognize let's play this monster oh well point someone else of course this is a parallel dimension of traveling through time as friends and so for our special forces talk about let's go find gas. was doing. it i know i am then maybe your best course is to tread lightly i'm the one who

would not stay out of my territory. so i mind. is definitely a glimpse of the classic american manufacturing of meth center yeah something about it that's got a mistake. hi can i help you with this be our friend while they're here oh for breaking bad yeah day i did. a quiet little wander and now now every day we have people come and are taking pictures the video i want to see everything but have you ever had the e.a. visit no we have not had that we have not had that we fly under the radar yet but it's changed our world out of an a great elaborate ruse that's like a hollywood television production to cover your fact you're having a great idea that.
