thousands protest in the haitian capital the economic hardship calling on the president to step down there has been no reaction from washington unlike to similar . just across the caribbean sea. the u.s.

ambassador says germany should use its leverage to keep the kremlin in line as a new poll finds most germans are skeptical about relations with washington the world has become more. policy is the politics of provocation we've lost some of the respect we had for the u.s. due to its form. in the united states accusations of hate speech are thrown of the author of a column in cities newspaper in which she calls on students to look out for sexist behavior among white males. news headlines live from moscow this is an international and a very well. venezuela has been making headlines now for weeks ever since

opposition leader. himself interim. president now some fifty countries recognize him and support his bid to oust the venezuelan president nicolas maduro meanwhile just across the caribbean sea thousands have been protesting in the haitian capital against economic hardship and in beslan anti-government demonstrators it demanding that the president of the caribbean island nation step down by looting and clashes with police have been seen over the last five days of protest which have also seen at least four deaths. i. was really like i don't know. if. the protests in haiti though have received a very different kind of reaction from washington than the ones in venezuela.

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 the nation is not just poor it's starving. rich people one country running. everything that the massive population. continues to be like a bit of polling from the poorest country in the caribbean the last presidential election had to be rerun after claims of fraud but the full up which put president

in power wasn't exactly a model of. prosy 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 the haitian people deserve to have democratically elected leaders today's inauguration of a democratically elected president and allows haiti to return to democratic and constitutional rule so what do you do with that kind of rapprochement show that you're a big fan of the man in charge there president trump an iowan to put an old and entrepreneur ones is 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 how. venice. on

a true. venice interim government is not going to side with should be able because they believe that it has your government or its project of overthrowing the venezuelan government so back to news from haiti 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. and this is the nature of what we can say american power in the world today it is filled with hypocrisy in haiti it is the vast majority of the population which is turning out to demand a job no mo 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 venezuela stuff as food and medicine shortages exacerbated by uneek economic blockade and sweeping american sanctions the opposition on the government in venezuela are currently wrangling over a u.s.

aid. claims he's been able to get some do deliveries into the country though president nicolas maduro has a blocked them saying the convoys are cover for a u.s. invasion washington's efforts in the south american country are led by elliott abrams he was recently appointed u.s. special envoy to venezuela but his appointment has surprised many given his previous track record in latin america back in two thousand and two abrams was the suspected architect of a coup attempt in venezuela while in the nineteen eighties then a member of the reagan administration he funneled weapons through iran to nick a rocky one a right wing rebels he was also accused of using humanitarian aid planes to disguise weapons shipments to militias. 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 and 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 u.s. invasion on time the u.s. remains a staunch in its support of the self declared leader one and with washington piling the pressure on president nicolas maduro a fan of the light during one of his recent speeches so it only proved an easy target. time for the

future. the lights are going off from the mature a mafia in venezuela. back to work right now are we building up america. is there a little light show going on. in our intelligence agencies if they just turn off the intelligence and. terror ok yes ok. we want to go.

the u.s. ambassador to germany has called for nato to be strengthened because as he puts it russia was on the doorstep when as artie's peter often now reports his comments and recent threats of sanctions against the allies in europe have not gone down too well. washington's man in berlin ambassador 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 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. to. german companies doing business in iraq should wind down operations immediately never tell a host country what to do. we're

not a banana republic. i'm accept one side tightening. 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 to the us but some of it has been lost lately due to the us foreign policy. the people themselves to get along well sometimes fail turf like 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. it seems that race never really far from the headlines these days that's also true at yale university in the u.s. after a student published a column in the campus newspaper in it she suggests keeping a record of racist and sexist behavior by white males for possible use later on. everyone knows a white boy with shiny brown hair and

a saccharine smile that conceals his great ambitions why. day i'll turn on the television and i'll see him sitting down for his senate confirmation hearing i'll recall a message where he winked a woman's body to a particularly large animal i'll kick myself for forgetting to screenshot the evidence i can plant things led by i'm watching you white 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 is the left in the democratic party and its members that are racist and second if you go to yale you leave more stupid than when you entered she just put into words what a lot of women are doing and have already done this is just trying times up out in multiple sentences and guys should be warned that whatever they type and post is

being screenshot it she's probably doing them a service well as you can see the article sparked controversy online with some accusing the author of hate speech i says davis marks the author of this piece entitled evil is but now is a senior and jonathan edwards college she studies philosophy and writes a regular column for yale daily news or debates of political correctness at yale university are certainly quite frequent these days for earlier here on r.t. international our guests debate at the coal for the surveillance of young white males. 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 tactic 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 men 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 whole i guess clay coming to everyone's minds thinking that white people are bad white people she claims 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 if 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 still to come here when i say french police open a probe off to anti semitic graffiti appears on a parish shop window some quickly blaming the yellow vest protesters for it will shed some light and i'm. seemed wrong when all rolls just don't all. get to say proud just being educated and gains from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something want to be. that you'd like to be cross as a white woman for three of them or can people get. interested always in the waters of politics. they said. they were joining us french police are investigating m t some of the graffiti that

appeared on the window of a jewish bagel shop in paris however some were very quick to point the finger at yellow vests protesters as shouted to pinsky now investigations. outrage after yet another and he said matic attack in paris the latest was in the fourth decent of the city the german wood for jews juden was sprayed across this bagel shop near the old jewish quarter the anti semitic graffiti was discovered at the weekend many have likened it to the anti semitic inscriptions that were targeting 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 word jews was printed on the window of a beggar 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 protests 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 versts 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 minus li i don't know if there is any connection to the el of the us is easy to just blame everything on them there is just a lot of anti-semitism in friends and in other countries. i don't lash i just think is the yellow versatile it's not something they want to be connected to i think this is just racism. it's shocking for me and for a lot of people there's the media talking about it all the time but i don't understand how that could happen. we're livin in a moment i never thought we would in france however the restaurant owners have dismissed the link same incident probably occurred several hours before the yellow press 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 this surge of 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. we spoke with the brussels based journalist luke levey who says the yellow vests these days of simply become easy scapegoats. was painted in yellow so what so it might be a provocation it might but let's not even go into that cannot miss you felt all the . president a chairman of the oh i simply not your novel national assembly the parliament is so fair horse house second three presidents s been burnt i mean somebody set fire to it immediately the reaction was it's just a yellow face nothing to do with that to semitism nobody knows if it is yellow

vests that did it that 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 these extreme opinions and stupid opinions i think the government of course it's fighting the senate it's very much afraid of them so anything that goes wrong it's still yellow fest's. militant group of the taliban has rejected an offer from the afghan government to set up an official office in the country saying they want their cut out of h.q. to be officially recognised instead. argument 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 gunny is trying to change the topic and harm the only going peace if it's recognizing the taliban's office in qatar was part of an agreement struck during peace talks held here in moscow from

which the afghan president ghani it was absent he since said he's willing to recognize a taliban office but only if it's based in afghanistan the deputy director of the center for conflict and peace studies the hekmatyar says a gunny made his offer only because he feels sidelined. a lot of people argue that you know in the peace process president arnie's is the obstacle americans and taliban are meeting in doha such statements. are made to prove that. look the government is not a problem and we are willing to talk to the afghan taliban and you and holds 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 northern russia where a state of emergency has been declared after an invasion of hungry polar bears the animals have been wandering around into the local town of rummaging for food here's some local c.c.t.v. footage they want to buy got inside a block of flats and obviously is sniffing around for something to eat residents are understandably concerned they might become the bears next meal so they are taking precautions anything is the old tried and tested methods of trying to scare away the bears using sirens horns or dogs don't seem to be working apparently the bears have learned just to ignore them or to keep people safe authorities are setting up patrols and building special barriers around schools but as far as we know no attacks no deaths no injuries right now everything's just about ok. and twenty five minutes your program returns.

after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the hope the book different clubs on one hand it is logical to sit in the home fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people and i saw why not if you think. i'm going to talk about football not be or else you can sink i was going to go. by the way ways of that slide here. laugh and cry and

another one of the ice cream i found swathes of both the food. bank itself movie theater on the plaza this way got to dog so hard not to think of the mother disappeared the see the look like they are one and i know from the start then if. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights a new he's moved away from. the floor and you can feel the fifty pound visible facility in a rough hall given at the top of a payment on the. what i think is this is the fund that is a compliment. join

me every thursday on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you. guys are this is the kaiser report oh my gosh global domination is in the works for her but going to say yes we're continuing with our theme of covering what is going on is the toshi round table because of course many people might think well there's a huge giant bitcoin bear market but just as in previous big claim bear markets what you and i have witnessed as participants in the big queen space is that there's a lot of building going on all sorts of great innovation and in fact. you know the

fact that nobody's paying attention to it certainly in the mainstream media anymore is a little it gives a lot of breathing space for people to build and we saw that down a social roundtable we saw a return to big macs and was and by the way you know the flurry of all those i see zero zero initial coin offerings and free money being thrown by investors so-called investors the space you know is a real big distraction and most of the mainstream media was just focused on that because they love the spectacle but here we have people like bill barr height as you know you've mentioned before he was an investor and he helped sponsor gonzo. his background as he was a cryptographer trained at the cia to be a cryptographer and then he worked in the banking sector is come up with a really fascinating new tool on his ab or ap and it basically establishes a global bitcoin standard because you now have as a unit of account through his new app and you go watch for interview with

with him back at one three four two i believe it was average apple unveils apple stock price exposure pegged to big corning how. establishes this is through what they call crypto collateralized contracts so you a user of the apple wallet which is a noncustodial wallet you own your private keys not them how they establish this your exposure to apple is a contract between you the user and ambre and it's not direct ownership of the equity of the apple stock but this crypto collateralized contract if you use right now to hold euro's or an arrow easy cash in the average what you're actually getting is what we call a crypto collateralized contract says bill apartheid it basically takes bitcoin and pegs it to the value of what ever asset you want investment expo.
