if you watch kaiser report. these protests in the haitian capital look economic hardship pulling on the president to step down but there's been no reaction from washington. just

across the caribbean sea. open approach. her feet. with some quickly blaming it on protesters. the u.s. . says germany should quote use leverage to keep the kremlin line that has a new poll finds most skeptical about relations with washington. it is the twelfth nine am here in moscow the news team rounding up your top stories on our international welcome to the. thousands of protested in the haitian capital against the economic hardship. and anti-government demonstrators are demanding that the president of the caribbean island nation step down violence. police have been

seen over the last five days of protest which have also seen four people die. just across the caribbean sea venezuela is also seeing officers from protests with some fifty countries now backing the self-proclaimed interim president why don't the protests in haiti though have received a very different kind of reaction from washington as the trying for now explain. protests are turning deadly.

crowd once the president to get the hell out of his office. they loathe his government for corruption for all kinds of cheating at the election . but it's not that i'm one of the nation's not just poor it's starving. but i'm not talking about venezuela last week haiti began to boil. rich people and country running. everything the massive population. continues to be like a bit of polling trivia from the poorest country in the caribbean the last presidential election had to be rerun after claims of fraud but the follow up which put president movies in power wasn't exactly

a model of democracy the turnout was only a fifth every tenth. ballot sheet was never counted for different reasons and some cases that would be more than enough to set off what i call the legitimacy radar alarm and washington not this time trump sent his people to congratulate the new leader his diplomat said they were proud of haiti today so you know gratian of a democratically elected president. to return to democratic constitutional rule so what do you do with that kind of rapprochement show that you're a big fan of the man in charge their president trump an iowan to put an old an entrepreneur ones its results and therefore i hope to put everything in place to make sure we deliver from peoples but could such words of warmth ever end up turning into something like this. venice. on a true. venice so back to news from haiti the drum government is

not going to side with any should be able because they believe that haitian government for its project of overthrowing the venezuelan government several days of protests put the capital on the brink of chaos a furious haitians are on the edge a group of you when powers including america came up with the communique i.e. condemnation of the escalating violence they want the president to speed up reforms well the only thing that came out of the state department in four days was this travel security alert security alert the security situation remains very unstable if you hear gunfire or protest groups seek shelter inside your house immediately and stay away from the windows and no one's yet picking a substitute for the elected leader but of course this relative silence isn't simply about someone saying nice things about donald trump this is the nature of

what we can say american power in the world today it is true. with hypocrisy in haiti it is the vast majority of the population which is turning out to demand a job no movie uses a departure and yet not a word from my parents not a word from pompei oh the secretary of state not a word from donald trump so this double standard this hypocrisy is typical we can say us foreign policy and men as well our neighbors on the map but it looks like they're nowhere near each other in the minds of those gurus of real democracy the opposition and the government in iran as well are currently wrangling over u.s. aid nicolas maduro has blocked all shipments of grounding the convoys a pretext for a u.s. invasion and as washington sanctions venezuela's oil its key source of revenue hyperinflation and demonstrations are only two likely to worsen and so with diet

food shortages in the country the media continues to portray my daughter was a tyrant inflicting suffering on his people. i'm in a swell inside trucks and troops are blocking traffic in and out of the country blocks aboard a bridge way he said to arrive ordering troops to block the bridge by block the border as it has blocked a bridge over the bridge we just saw connects colombia and venezuela and was built in twenty sixteen but has never seen any traffic since it was never actually opened and that's due to a dispute between the two neighboring countries we spoke with max blumenthal the editor of the investigative journalism project gray zone who is currently in the venezuelan capital the problem is speculation and hyper inflation which makes it hard for some people at certain lower classes to buy food and that hyperinflation is being compounded by unprecedented u.s. sanctions that the reason that the u.s.

and western media is focusing as the nod refers of the trump administration on the humanitarian aid is to frame to create an interventionist frame to create a pretext where the maduro government first of all seems cruel and stingy and will not allow aid in which will actually have no effect on people's food insecurity and second of all to allow this intervention to take place washington's efforts in the south american country are led by elliott abrams he was recently appointed u.s. special envoy to find his way or he previously held the position of assistant secretary of state for human rights and humanitarian affairs it's alleged he was involved in a coup attempt in venezuela in two thousand and two and he's also been accused of shipping weapons to nicaragua rebels under the guise of humanitarian aid this was back in the one nine hundred eighty s. . assistant secretary of state elliott abrams has defended his role in authorizing

the shipment of weapons on a humanitarian aid flight to nicaraguan rebels saying the operation was strictly by the book. we have to consider that trumps are who is in charge of his venezuelan policy right now is elliott abrams who pioneered the strategy of using humanitarian aid as a disguise for delivering weapons to u.s. proxy forces first during the. wars on central america the proxy wars during which elliott abrams was overseeing several death squads and their genocidal humanitarian violations the venezuelan see this aid delivery especially in the in the light of abrams history of using aid as a cover for delivering arms to proxy forces as a violation of venezuelan sovereignty as an actual us invasion of venezuela and so in many ways this is seen as a trojan horse for us invasion. the us though remains staunch in its support of the self declared leader one and with washington piling the pressure on nicholas modo

a failure of the lights during one of his recent speeches proved an easy target. back to work right now are we building up america. is there a little light show i have. in our intelligence agencies if they just turn over. there it's ok yes ok.

french police are investigating anti semitic graffiti that appeared on the window of a jewish bagel shop in paris or for some were quick to point the finger at yellow vest protesters as reports outrage yet another sematic attack in paris the latest in the fourth decent of the city the german would for jews was sprayed across this bagel shop neither old jewish quarter the anti semitic graffiti was discovered at the weekend many have likened it to the anti semitic inscriptions that were talking jewish businesses in germany in the one nine hundred thirty s. and some have already decided who the culprit is today in the streets of paris the work you did jews was printed on the window of a bag restaurant this act thirteen by the yellow vests has precedence attacks against institutions and thai semitic acts how far will it go act thirteen youden

in paris. act twelve insults in front of a synagogue in strasbourg act nine the anti semite ricin in the yellow vest everywhere the same thing is happening and it's a tragedy it's not the first time that the yellow vests have been accused of anti semitism during the six week of protest known as act six a series of anti semitic incidents were reported including a group of protesters singing a song popularized by an anti semitic comedian another group was accused of insulting in auschwitz survivor on the metro so what have the yellow vests themselves got to say about it. the yellow vests are not racists they are peaceful they believe in the republic they are peaceful tolerant and want to live better in their country it's possible that among the yellow vests there are some crazies and racists that's no different than the rest of french society the goal of

the government is to tarnish the yellow vests first they try to identify yellow vests with hooligans but that didn't work we took to the streets of the capital to find out who locals think are responsible when it's mostly likely linus lee i don't know if there is any connection to the l. of the us it's easy to just blame everything on them there is just a lot of anti-semitism in friends and in other countries. i don't know i don't think is the yellow versatile it's not something they want to be connected to as i think this is just racism. it's shocking for me and for a lot of people as the media talking about it all the time but i don't understand how that could happen. it's as good as we're livin in a moment i never thought we would in france however the restaurant owners have dismissed the link saying the incident probably occurred several hours before the yellow vests protest this does though come at

a time when anti semitism in france has been reassuring its head last november the french prime minister said anti semitic acts in france have increased by sixty nine percent in the first nine months of two thousand and eighteen while the government has promised to crack down on the anti semitic attacks it's clear that some have decided to wrongly jump on the bandwagon and blame the yellow vests at least when it comes to this latest incident do you can ski r.t. paris. charlotte was the owner of the bagel shop doesn't think the yellow vests are to blame as he discovered the graffiti early on saturday morning before the day's protests got going and we spoke with our brussels based journalist who says the protesters have simply become easy scapegoats but it was painted in yellow so what so it might be a provocation it might but let's not even go into that enormous affair all the.

president a chairman of the oh i simply must another national assembly the parliament is so fair horse house second degree presidents been burnt i mean somebody set fire to it immediately direction was it just a yellow fest's nothing to do with that to semitism nobody knows if it is yellow vests that did it there are some people are not too clever or say stupid things that are probably some anti semite something but the movement in the self is nothing to do with the. yes extreme opinions and stupid opinions i think the government i'm sure mccall is fighting the yellow fests and is faring much afraid of them so anything that goes wrong it's to yellow fests. but u.s. ambassador to germany has called for nato to be strengthened because as he put it russia was on the doorstep as artie's put all of our reports his comments on a recent threats of sanctions on europe have not gone down too well. washington's man in berlin and bust of the richard grinnell is being hung out advice left and

right to chancellor angela merkel over which direction she should steer her country in the latest polls of wisdom that she should spend more money on weapons and that germany should use its energy connections with russia to put pressure on moscow the germans have the leverage with russia imagine if chancellor merkel stood up and said because of the russian behavior because of the malign activity and the increased offense we cannot give you more influence by buying your energy stream to his top of the u.s. hit list when it comes to joint german russian projects that the u.s. isn't keen on with washington saying it doesn't want berlin to become too dependent on moscow and busted a good l. also expressed disappointment with germany's military spending saying that commitments made to nato needed to be all that the u.s. is simply reminding its great german ally that now is not the time to undercut or weaken nato with the russians at the doorstep it should be clear to everyone that

nato needs strengthening this isn't the first time though that the us ambassador has handed out some quite on diplomatic advice. in german companies doing business in iran should wind down operations immediately never to. host country what to do. we're not a banana republic. on except one sided tightening of the term. the german people have taken a dim view of u.s. policy in these areas the latest polling shows eighty five percent of germans view

the transatlantic relationship in a negative or even a very negative light with the majority saying they want to germany to give the u.s. a wider berth if we look at where german saw potential threats coming from less than two percent said russia right wing populism and protectionism was named as the biggest concern for germans i asked people in berlin why this view on u.s. german relations she listened a moment the relationship is difficult right now because the world has become more tense due to the traumas policies is the politics of provocation by the older generation has tremendous respect and gratitude towards the u.s. but some of it has been lost lately due to the u.s. foreign policy. the people themselves to get along while sometimes fail to reflect this they're having problems as an american president i think washington's

hardline approach to it. doesn't seem to be going down too well with the german people. and still plenty of news coming your way this hour here on r.t. international including a state of emergency declared it so well for a remote russian town which has been invaded by polar bass for backup. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. very dramatic. only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful.

put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to be. actually going to be close this is what before three of the more people. interested in the water. it seems. in the headlines these days and that's also true it yeah your university student published a column in the newspaper. she suggests keeping

a record of racist and sexist behavior by white males for possible use later. everyone knows it why boy with shiny brown hair and a saccharine smile that conceals he's great ambitions one day i'll turn on the television and i'll see him sitting down for his senate confirmation hearing recall a mass which there he accidentally left open on a computer when he forgot to log out of my message where he lincoln a woman's body to a particularly large animal i'll keep myself for forgetting to screenshot the evidence i can't let things slip by watching you why boy and this time i am taking this screen shot what kind of a hate has yale become this is not progressive it's juvenile and malicious pernicious yale paper prints racist guide on how to destroy a white boy lives like cavanagh this article proves two things first it's the left and the democrat party and its members that are racist and second if you go to you

you if more stupid than when you entered as you can see the article sparked controversy online with some accusing the author of hate speech now i says davis mocks the author of this piece entitled evil is banal is a senior jonathan edwards college she studies philosophy and writes a regular column for yale daily news debates over political correctness at yale university are certainly frequent these days the twenty fifteen story controversy of a supposedly culturally insensitive halloween costumes a year later it introduced gender neutral bathrooms and last year it students joined the protest movement against the nomination of brett kavanaugh to the supreme court amid allegations against him of sexual misconduct well earlier here on r.t. international we put the call for surveillance of young white males up for debate with a panel of guests. i think that the hate of white people right now is being so normalized

on on educational campuses and where the media and it's become so much the point where if someone did this the opposite way if it was white vice versa if a white wrote this about some other people then he would get the insane amount of backlash and it would be much worse than if this person this woman wrote this about white men and i have to say that it isn't the surveillance that is scary it's the fact that it's intimidating they're creating a system that intimidates white men and pushes them down and makes them look over their shoulders and makes them worry and that is the tactics of a totalitarian state and they seem to not be able to wait until they can inflict a want to bonnets and the mainstream media has has put this this label on white man and even white people in general on college campuses i'm in jobs even at restaurants i'm clearly college student right now and i see this as this this is the whole i guess clay coming to everyone's minds thinking that white people are bad white people she blames for their ancestors problems you know that shouldn't be

happening and i'm not sure whether this marks an occasion of desperation for leftism or opportunities a sense of blooming opportunity or maybe both but you're not really on the left unless you're a victim and in order to be a victim you have to have an oppressor and they appeared to have settled all the different causes all the different angles or less doesn't appear to have settled on white males for racism sexism bigotry and homophobia and that is the great evil of america and we are going to be made to pay for that one way or another even if we're innocent and of course most of us are. the taliban has rejected an offer from the afghan government to have an official office in the country saying they want that cut out office to be officially recognized. adamant about having an official political office is clear we want our office in doha to be recognized by the international community and the united nations with this proposal garny is trying

to change the topic and harm the ongoing peace efforts. well recognizing the taliban's office in qatar was part of an agreement struck during peace talks held in moscow from which the afghan president danny was absent he sent said he's willing to recognize a taliban office but only if it's in afghanistan the deputy director of the center for conflict and peace studies hekmatyar as army says president ghani made his offer only because he feels sidelined. i don't have people argue that you know in the peace process president romney is is the obstacle americans and taliban are meeting in doha such statements. are made to prove that. the government is not a problem and we are willing to talk to the afghan taliban to you and host them and offer them an office the end of the day president danny's gone mint is it's quite

under pressure for not going for not for not willing to cooperate in the peace process while the taliban continue to refuse to meet him so i think these moves come after all these to address these concerns and so there he's trying to become part of the peace initiative and become in play a role not been sidelined. now to our northern russia where a state of emergency has been declared after an invasion by hungry polar bears the animals have been wondering into a local town or rummaging around for food we can show you some footage in fact you can see one bag who managed to get inside an apartment block to sniff around for something to eat and residents are understandably concerned they might become the bear's next meal is certainly taking precautions however tried and tested methods for scaring them away like using sirens horns and dogs don't seem to be working anymore apparently the bears have learned just to ignore them or to keep people

safe authorities are standing up to trolls and have built special barriers around the schools. stand there have been no injuries or attacks as of yet. in your program or times in half an hour. when folks are talking about socialism like cortez out of new york that congresswoman saying you know thing they all say that you know socialism is bag and we need higher taxes we need redistribution of wealth that's actually not the solution to some of the shortcomings of capitalism the solution is access to give people access to capital because fifty percent of the stocks in america are owned by one percent of the population now that's an incredibly lopsided concentration of

the greatest growth engine in the world by a very small community. in twenty four to you know bloody revolution of you to correct the demonstrations going to be relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know we're here to a pretty meaningless book to do it through in the new bill is that i do split needle with the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. of those who to vote had invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic time. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields where

everything is familiar. on the other i want to the new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people of us all or no experience. i'm going to talk about football in our city or else you can see it was going to go . by the way ways and such like here.

this is boom bust broadcasting around the world and covering the world of business and finance and the impact upon all of us i am bart chilton in washington d.c. we are so good you're with us today thank you for joining coming up this time you know how people seem to always say keep your password protected well the loss of a password is now taking the toll to the tune of one hundred ninety million dollars and crypto assets that belong to investors crypto export in front of the show kristie i have counterpart axis standing by to discuss once we take a look at how budget airlines a few carriers and their stocks and how the low cost deals appeal to moan lineal and later there's been so little u.s. wheat planted its feet record for the last one hundred seventy years else the hell of it tells us why it matters all that directly head but first we have some headlines let's go. outrage over corruption in haiti leads our global report to.
