in the only room for. thousands protest in the haitian capital against an economic hardship calling on the president to step down but no reaction from washington unlike two similar

venezuela just across the caribbean sea. the u.s. ambassador says germany should use its leverage to keep the kremlin in line that has a new poll finds most skeptical about relations with washington the world has become more tense due to trump's policies it's the politics of provocation and 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 and yale university's newspaper in which she calls on students to look out for sexist behavior among white males. crowding up your headlines for this hour on international from all of us here at moscow welcome to your. venezuela. has been making headlines for weeks ever since

opposition leader. declared himself the 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 investment and government demonstrators that demanding that the president of the caribbean island nation step down violence looting and clashes with police have been seen over the last five days which has also seen at least four deaths. thank. god but it was really the only. protests in haiti have received a very different kind of reaction from washington than the ones in venezuela.

expect. protests are turning deadly. crowd once the president to get the hell out of his office. the next day they lower his government for corruption for all kinds of cheating at the election . but the nation is not just poor it's starving. people and. running. everything 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 a fraud. the follow up which put president maureen's 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 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 their president trump and i own troops spent all the entrepreneur ones is results and therefore i hope to put everything in place to make sure we deliver for our peoples but could such words of warmth ever end up turning into something like this how. venison.

not true. venison the drum government is not going to side with the haitian people because they need the haitian government for 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 haiti 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 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 mike pence not a word from pump aoe the secretary of state not a word from donald trump so this double standard this hypocrisy is typical we can say u.s. foreign policy and venezuela neighbors on the map but it looks like they're nowhere near each other in the minds of those gurus of real democracy venezuela car fleets office food and medicine shortages exacerbated by an economic blockade and sweeping u.s. sanctions the opposition on the government in venezuela are currently wrangling of

a usa. mr claims he's been able to get some deliveries into the country though president nicolas maduro has also blocked some saying the convoys are actually a cover for a u.s. invasion and washington's efforts in the south american country are led by mr elliott abrams he was recently appointed u.s. special envoy to venezuela but his appointment has surprised many given his previous track record in that of latin america in fact it was back in two thousand and two that mr abrams was the suspected architect of a coup attempt in venezuela while in the one nine hundred eighty s. then a member of the reagan administration he funneled weapons through iran to nicaragua rightwing 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 elliot 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 well the u.s. meantime though remains staunch in its support of the self declared. and with washington piling the pressure on president nicolas maduro a failure of the lights during one of his recent speeches certainly proved an easy

target. for the future of. the lights to going off from the mature mafia in venezuela. back to work right now rebuilding america. is there a little light show. in our intelligence agencies if they just turned over to the intelligence agents. there ok yes ok.

really. the u.s. ambassador to germany has called for nato to be strengthened because as he puts it russia's on the doorstep as. sanctions against allies in europe have not gone to. washington's man in berlin and bust of the richard grinnell is being handing out advice left and right to chancellor angela merkel over which direction she should stay in 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 nolde 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 to the goodell 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 allies 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 of diplomatic advice. and 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. and accept one side tightening turn. 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 traumas policies it's the politics of provocation we've lost some of the respect we had for the us due to its foreign policy. the people themselves get along well but the attention sometimes fail to reflect this mood 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 is a never ever be far from the headlines these days and that's also true at yale university in america 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 why boy with shiny brown hair and a saccharine smile that conceals his great ambitions one day i'll turn on the

television and i'll see him sitting down for his senate confirmation hearing recall a message where he likened 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 or as you can see if the article sponsible controversy online with some accusing the author of hate speech i says davis mogs the author of this piece entitled evil is by mel is a senior jonathan edwards college she studies philosophy and writes a regular column for yale daily news on the basis of a political correctness at yale university are certainly fairly frequent these days but earlier here on r.t. international law guests debated the call 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 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 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 now are still to come here on the program on the french police opening a probe of the anti semitic graffiti appears on the shop window of a bagel shop and some quickly blaming it all they get a vest to protest as well trying to shed some light on that in about one minute.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and should. somehow want to be preached . to the right to be close it's like the three of them all the people. interested always in the lawyers about how. they should. choose their stories who are not a french police are investigating anti semitic graffiti that appeared on the window

of a jewish bagel shop in paris i have a somewhat very quick to point the finger of blame but the yellow vests protest as a solid two points can now investigate. the outrage yet another sematic attack in paris the latest twist in the fourth of the city the german wood for jews was sprayed across this bagel shop neither old jewish quarter the anti semitic graffiti was discovered at the weekends. he 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 work you did 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 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 minus lee i don't know if there is any connection to the el 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 just think is the yellow versatile it's not something they want to be connected to i think this is just racism it is. it jargon for me and for a lot of people is 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 same 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 well the government has promised to crack down on this 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 a brussels based journalist or luke weaver who says that the universe these days have simply become easy targets to be used as guns but 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 for all the . precedent of chairman of the oh i simply must another national assembly the parliament is so fair horse house second group residence it's been burnt i mean somebody set fire to it immediately direction was it just

a yellow fests nothing to do with and 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 has nothing to do with these extreme opinions sense stupid opinions i think the government of course is is fighting the senate is very much afraid of them so anything that goes wrong it's to yellow first. militant group 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 headquarters to be officially recognized 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 ghani is trying to change the topic and harm the ongoing peace efforts and i recognizing the taliban's office in qatar was part of an agreement struck during peace talks right here in moscow from which though the

afghan president danny 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 a heck of a tool as army says gunny made his offer only because he thiel 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 host them and offer them an office the end of the day president danny's garment 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. and now to northern russia where a state of emergency has been declared after an invasion of hungry polar bear and the animals have been wandering into a local town of rummaging around for food we can show you some footage from inside c.c.t.v. footage one bear right there actually got inside a block of flats to sniff around for some. thing to eat residents are understandably concerned they might become the beds next to me they are taking precautions however tried and tested methods for scaring them away like using sirens holmes and dogs don't seem to be working apparently the bears have learned to just ignore them to keep people safe authorities are sending up trolls and they've built special barriers around schools but as of now no attacks no deaths no injuries everything for the most part is just about all right. thanks for sharing

a time with us here at aussie international we return at the top of the hour. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race is on all fronts very dramatic development only closely and going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical of the guy in time to sit down and talk. a country has gone into a nihilistic fever best trying to think and we got to hit the road and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america take the charlatans the

geniuses this is a precious special american hero this is and we found a point around which element is done something we always are on the margins someone called dong culture is really important because og. we're starting last with is going to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast i think i want to leave now doesn't do any more gondo them it may be completely different fundamentalists just. join me every thursday on the alex salmond chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then.
